INSTANCES OF GREAT VALOR Substantial Rewards Bestowed Upon Gallant Protectors of Human Life by Trustees of Fund Established by Noted Philanthropist Ten Years Ago. How the Money is Paid. In 1904 Mr. Andrew Carnegie, one of the greatest philanthropists of the age, whose millions were made in the iron and steel business of Pittsburgh, created a hero fund of $5,000,000 of first collateral 5 per cent bonds of the United States Steel corporation, which fund is under the control of a board known as the trustees of the hero fund, Mr. Carnegie having directed that in case of death widows and children or other dependents are to be provided for until the widow remarries and until the children reach a self supporting age. In the event of disability the disabled is provided for until again able to work. The maximum death or disablement benefit to be paid in any one year to any one family or dependent shall not exceed $1,000, the amount and manner of payment in each case to be fixed by the commission upon the recommendation of the executive committee, provided, in no case, however, shall death or disablement benefits be paid unless it shall be clearly shown that the dependents or disabled need such assistance. The following colored persons are among the Negroes who have performed heroic deeds since this hero fund has been established, and here is what they have done: John B. Hill, aged thirty-five, coachman, rescued Thomas S. Prescott, aged six, and Florence Williams, aged twenty-one, from a runaway, Atlanta, Ga., by grabbing the bridle of one of the horses of a runaway team hitched to a landau containing the child and maid. After being dragged some distance he threw the horse. Award, bronze medal and $500 to reimburse him for pecuniary loss sustained on account of injuries. George A. Grant, aged thirty-three, teamster, sustained fatal injuries rescuing C. G. Campbell, aged forty-six, president of the American Painting and Decorating company, and Charles A. Whipple, aged forty-eight, superintending of building construction, from a runaway in Groton, Conn. Grant grasped the bridle of one of the horses, and, finding himself unable to control the other horse because its bridle was off, he threw the one he had hold of and was kicked on the neck and run over by the vehicle. He died the second day after. Award, silver medal and $25 a month for support of widow during her life or until she remarries, with $5 a month additional for each of four children until each, reaches the age of sixteen. Theodore H. Homer, aged thirty-two, wafter, rescued F. Berger, aged eight, from a runaway in Philadelphia Aug. 2, 1908. Homer ran seventy feet to meet a badly frightened runaway horse drawing a delivery wagon containing Berger and, grasping its bride, stopped it within eighty feet. Awarded bronze medal and $500 for educational purposes as needed. George E. McCue, aged twenty-six, porter, saved J. M. Herman, aged two, from being run over by a train in Garden City, Kan. McCue ran 560 feet, part of this distance on the track ahead of a passenger train running forty miles an hour, and, grasping the baby and its carriage, which had rolled on to the track, threw them aside and cleared the track himself, the pilot beam of the engine missing him by a few inches. Awarded bronze medal and $500 for educational purposes as needed. Martha Generals, aged fifty-seven, housewife, rescued Peter M. Malkemes, aged nine, from electric shock in Wilkesbarre, Pa. Unable to release his hold of an electric light wire carrying 2,200 volts, the boy was being jerked about when Mrs. Generals grasped him by the neck and received a shock which temporarily paralyzed her arm. She appealed to bystanders to aid him, but none responded, and then she grasped the boy again and succeeded in pulling him from the wire. Her hand was disabled for a week. The boy's hand was badly burned. Awarded bronze medal and $20 a month during her life. Harley Tomlinson, aged thirty-four, farmer, died assisting in an attempt to save Oscar Colson, colored, aged twenty-seven, farmer, from drowning, Norwood, N. C. During a flood of the Yadkin river, Tomlinson and another man in a bateau paddled 400 feet from shore to Colson, who was clinging to a wrecked datbont, and had got Colson aboard when the bateau capsized.

James L. Smith, aged thirty-six, pru- dored, saved Frances R. Hetrick, aged two years, from burning, Sistersville, W. Va. Breaking away from men who tried to restrain him, after two or three men had failed to enter it, Smith crawled through a doorway under a blast of heat and smoke and occasional frames into the hall of a cottage, and then into the adjoining living room, which was dense with smoke, and grasped the child, who had been left there. Smith groped his way back to the open door, dragging the child with him, and when he reached the open air collapsed. He soon revived. His hands and arms and the back of his head were burned. The child sustained no burns. Award, silver medal and $1,000 toward purchase of a home. Boyce Lindsay, aged sixteen, delivery boy, saved E. Reynolds Smith, aged eleven, from being run over by a train at Spartanburg, S. C. Stooping over one rail before an approaching string of box cars, when the front car was but four feet distant, Lindsay flung Smith from the middle of the track, where he had fallen from his bicycle.

EGGS BY MAIL NGW System of Marketing That Offers Possibilities of Better Prices for Producer and Fresher Articles for the Consumer. Washington—That eggs can be marketed successfully by parcel post and that this method frequently secures a better price for the producer and a fresher article for the consumer has now been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the experts in the United States department of agriculture. The department conducted tests that covered a period of five months. At the end of that period it came to the conclusion that the parcel post was of particular value to the man whose fock was too small to who lives too far from the service service to permit him to ship his eggs in the regular commercial case which holds 30 dozen eggs. In the course of these experiments the department shipped 9,131 eggs in 466 lots. Of these 327 or slightly less than 3.6 per cent were broken, but only 209 or slightly less than 2.3 per cent were absolutely wasted. The others, though broken, could still be used. The percentage of breakage, moreover, will be greatly reduced, it is when the employees of the post office become more accustomed to handling the eggs. That the eggs should be properly packed is of course essential. This implies time, care and some expense and is one reason why no attempt should be made to market by parcel post any but the finest quality of eggs for they alone will bring remunerative prices. Moreover, if the customer who buys in small lots finds that any considerable proportion of his purchases is undesirable or even unattractive in appearance, he will not trouble to ask for deduction that account; he will not discontinue the production. The producer, therefore, must see to it that all the eggs the postman delivers are what he represents them to be. This can only be done by candling them. Candling. "The process of testing eggs by passing light through them so as to reveal the condition of the contents," is omitted by many producers who rely on care in collecting to eliminate all bad eggs. It is, however, impossible to avoid an environmental accident and there is therefore a severe precaution. A simple outfit can be made out of a small hand lamp and an ordinary pasteboard box sufficiently large to be placed over the lamp, after the ends have been removed, without risk of fire. In order to supply air to the enclosed lamp, notices should be cut in the edge on which the box rests. A round hole is then cut in the box at the level of the lamp fame and the candling done by holding each egg against this hole while the bomb is in place. The light from the bomb reveals the contents of the egg and those that show any defect can be relected. If possible only infertile eggs should be sent to market. Fertile eggs deteriorate rapidly in warm weather and are the cause of much loss. A broody hen on the nest or accidental exposure to a high temperature may start incubation and cause the egg to spoil and injure the shiper's reputation. It is advisable, therefore, to retain the fertile eggs for home use or dispose of them in some other way than through the parcel post. This method should be solled eggs, which should never be intended for high-class trade, since the process removes a natural muculaginous coating and opens the pores of the shell. After this thorough elimination of the unfit, the eggs that remain should be carefully packed in a container of corrugated pasteboard, metal, wood or other suitable material. The post office regulations require this container to be so wrapped that nothing can escape from the package and each egg in addition to be wrapped separately in excelsor, cotton, or some such material. Any soft paper serves the purpose quite well. As for the container itself, there are many kinds on the market and the department of agriculture investigators have not attempted to decide which is the best. Instead they refer inquirers to the various state experiment stations which have available information on this question. In packing eggs it is well to sort them as far as is practical, according to size and color and to keep for home use those which are irregular in shape, unusually long or thin-shelled. Containers that have been badly stained by broken eggs should be replaced by new ones and the package wrapped as nearly as possible. In short every effort should be made to deliver as attractive a package as possible into the hands of the customers. The extra expense will be little and the returns in increased trade great. The larger the shipments that the producer can arrange to make, the cheaper he can afford to sell his eggs. Within the first and second zones of the parcel post service, a package costs five cents for each additional pound for cent for each additional pound. Ordinarily eggs weigh about one and one-half pounds a dozen, which with the additional weight of the wrapping and container, would make a package of a dozen eggs weigh between two and three pounds. The Howard Palmer, in his book on "The Silkirk Mountains," cites a case from his own experience that represents a test of endurance probably unequaled in the history of the canning industry. Speaking of his return from a fourteen-hour climb and the rations partaken at of its close, he wrote: "That the meat, beef, devoured as raw meat, was no less than eight-summers old, did not in the least disturb as. We had discovered it used by on the site of the Topham --- postage on this would be 7 cents. If another dozen eggs were included in the package the postage would not be more than 9 cents, or 4½ instead of 7 cents a dozen eggs. To the value of the eggs and the cost of postage must be added the cost of the container and the wrapping. For two dozen eggs this may be estimated at 8 cents with postage cost and therefore, cost 17 cents to market two dozen eggs, or 8½ cents a dozen. By shipping in 10-dosen lots, it is estimated that the marketing cost can be reduced to 4.7 cents a dozen. Where the container can be used more than once, this cost can of course be somewhat reduced. Large sized containers will stand from two to four trips, smaller ones from five, so that the producer can sell his customer to return the containers periodically. The postage required for this is of course deducted from the bill for the next shipment. Although it is obviously advantageous both to the producer and consumer that the eggs be shipped in large quantities and consequently economically, it must be remembered in taking orders that the supply of eggs undergoes the greatest fluctuations. In times of scarcity it is not good policy for the producer to send all his customers to one customer, neglecting his other friends, nor in times of plenty can be stocked of his entire stock to his regular customers. These points must be given due consideration and the quantities that are to be supplied at each season of the year carefully stated in the contract. The price, too, varies with the supply. One good method of determining this is to take as a basis the wholesale price of eggs on the open market and add to this a certain number of cents a dozen for the new-lal parcel post eggs. Care should be taken, however, to see that there is no possibility of any in the outstanding arising in any of the basic price. In this, the quotation is given in a given newspaper or some other similar authority may be accepted. Eggs are scarcest and highest in the fall. Chickens should, therefore, be hatched early enough to begin laying at this season. Moreover little difficulty will be experienced then in disposing of the entire output and it will in consequence be unprofitable to divert any of the supply to home purposes. This difficulty can be overcome by preserving eggs in the spring, when they are plentiful and cheap. A solution of water glass, which can be obtained at drug stores for 75 cent-gallon, should be used to pose, each quart be diluted with 10 quarts of which has been bolted together. The eggs should be packed in stone jars or crocks and the solution poured over them, or they may be carefully placed in the solution each day. Eggs kept in this way are perfectly good, but naturally they are not command the prices of those newly laid. The shells sometimes break in bolling, but this may be avoided by puncturing the end with a pin just before they are dropped into the water. With the home demands for domestic foodstuffs almost equaling production the United Big Demand for States is not only Domestic Foods, reducing its exports, but is increasing its imports of certain foodstuffs. This is one of the key features of a review by the department of commerce of the foreign trade firm, the first six months under the new tariff. Figures show that imports of foodstuffs in their natural condition included food animals, increased from $117,194,237, in the half year ended with March, 1913, to $143,421,536 during the corresponding period this year, and that imports of foodstuffs, partly or wholly prepared for use in the same period increased from 144,241,967 in 1907. The increase in portions of all food products in the period named approximated more than thirty million dollars, or an average of $5,000,000 a month. Figures of exports are even more striking. Of crude foodstuffs exports fell off more than fifty per cent, while prepared foodstuffs also declined. Exports of crude foodstuffs fell from $11,550,453 in the six months' period of 1913 to $54,438,787 in the corresponding period this year, and manufactured products from $180,002,422 to $162,022,620 foodstuffs showing largest increases in importations were beef, cattle, corn, wheat, rice, macaroni, fruits, molasses and edible oils.

This flag has been an exhibit of the National Museum and the Smithsonian Institute since 1907. It became the property of the museum only within the last few months. Not long ago it was reported to w. de C. Ravenel, administrative assistant of the National Museum, that unless something was done to repair the flag it would have to be withdrawn from exhibition.

It was discovered that the marriage took place May 15, but the Ingersollers knew nothing of it till someone called up the millionaire watchmaker at his summer home at Oyster Bay over the telephone. "Say, Mr. Ingersoll, this may interest you," said a voice over the wire. "Your niece, Miss Naomi Noland, is married to Arthur, who used to be your chauffer." "What's that?" Mr. Ingersoll gasped. The voice repeated the startling news. "It happened May 15, and that's all I'm going to tell you." It concluded. Then the connection was broken. Then began the search, which the woman was she can't understand. The Ingersollers got very busy and had a mediation conference with their favorite niece. "I pleaded with her for hours," said Mrs. Ingersoll. "I offered her a trip to Europe. I told her that everything that money could buy and that love could provide were hers for the asking—if she would only come back to us."

Unlike many fruits, the strawberry changes its character completely when it is cooked. It neither gains nor loses; it simply becomes something else almost the moment heat touches it. Long cooking is, however, detrimental to the flavor. It destroys that peculiar flavor which is imparted to the berry by heat. This flavor, which in a way is just as delicious as that of the raw fruit, should be preserved. Strawberries, too, will not only lose all flavor with long cooking but will still have their shape as well. Three or five minutes of a boiling temperature will drive the heat into the berries thoroughly and yet preserve their shape and that flavor imparted to them by the heat. To preserve the flavor of the raw strawberry, which is entirely different from that of the cooked fruit, the sunshine method of preserving must be followed. The origin of this delightful method is ascribed by some to Southern housekeepers, declaring it originated in Virginia, where it is a favorite process, and others teaching the first use of the method to Europe. The sunshine method preserves are, however, difficult to prepare, and in many cases out of question, especially in city apartments, where sunshine is not a free gift. Berries of the finest quality are placed on heated platters dredged with heated sugar and covered with heated sheets of glass. The platters are placed in strong sunshine to stand all day long. By evening the juice which surrounds the fruit is placed in an enameled pan on the fire and brought to the bubbling stage, then immediately poured over the fruit again. The fruit is then put into heated, sterilized jars or jelly glasses. Usually the sirup, if the familiar rule of "pound per pound" is followed, will, when cold, be sufficiently jellylike to permit the fruit to keep perfectly in jelly glasses, with only a paraffin cover. Care should be taken not to cook the juice too long nor beyond the boiling point, or it will be sirup. DON'T FORGET A little minced ham added to the omelet makes a savory change. Small sweet peppers are excellent mixed with celery in a potato salad. Vegetables which grow under the ground should be cooked with the lid on. Added veal served with tomato sauce and spaghetti makes a delicious dish. Clean nickel and silver pieces with ammonia applied with a flannel cloth. Black stockings should be rinsed in blue water to give them a good color. Discored gilt frames can be brightened if rubbed with a sponge dipped in turpentine. Try adding a little chopped parsley to the mashed potatoes; it gives them a delicious flavor. When mixing pie crust or baking powder biscuits they will be much lighter if a fork is used. Aluminum Ware The attractive appearance, light weight and the durability of a good quality of aluminum have brought this ware into public favor. It is claimed, too, that food does not burn as easily in an aluminum utensil as in those of other ware. Aluminum, however, stains easily. It is great for some somewhat hard to keep up. Even water containing an alkali or iron will tarnish it. This comes off with whiting or any any cleansing powder that is free from alkali. Strongly cleansers must not be used upon it, and when it is necessary to scrape it the scraping should be done with a wooden spoon. A mild acid will also remove stains. Apples or sour milk bolted in the dish. Aluminum's one great fault is that it will not stand excessive heat, especially the poorer grades. Poached Eggs With Cheese For five servings prepare five somewhat thick slices of toasted bread, round if convenient. Make a sauce of one level tablespoonful butter, two of flour, a little salt; stir these together and add gradually three-quarter cupful of strained tomato to which a pinch of soda has been added, and half a cup of rich milk. Dip the edges of the toast in the sauce then pour on the slices. Place on each slice a nicely poached egg, sprinkle it with grated cheese and set in the oven to melt the cheese. serve at once. English Pudding One-half cup chopped salt pork.

Steam two hours. Sauce for Pudding—one cup sugar, two cups boiling water, one-half teaspoon each of salt and nutmeg. Thicken with two teaspoons flour. Remove from stove, add a tablepoon of good sharp vinegar and piece of butter. Oyster Pickles. To every quart of liquor add a teaspoonful of black pepper, a pod of red pepper broken in bits, two blades of mace, a teaspoonful salt, two dozen cloves and half a pint of best vinegar. Add the oysters, simmer gently for a few minutes, take out and put in half pint jars, then bath them, skim it with a spoon, then pour into a dark, cool place, and when a jar is opened, use up its contents as quickly as possible. Oysters pickled thus will keep four or five weeks. Chicken a La Boston. One cup cold cooked chicken cut in strips, three cold boiled potatoes, cut in one-third inch slices, one truffle cut in strips, three tablespoons butter, three tablespoons four, 1/4 cups scalded milk, salt and pepper. Make a sauce of chicken, potatoes and truffle and as soon as heated add seasoning. Slay Whom They Please Without Fear of Punishment. Natives of Hudson Bay Territory Never Wash and Are Revengeful—No Laws in Vogue; Murder of Little Consequence. A great work is being done far up on the northeast shores of Hudson bay in converting the wandering Indians who inhabit that desolate region to Christianity. A devoted little band of three or four Christian ploneers is stationed there, and a member of that "Arctic mission," who is in England for a short "leave," gave some of his experiences of the country and its people recently. "I am stationed at a tiny settlement on Great Whale river," said the Rev. W. G. Walton, according to a London newspaper, "and the 'town' consists of two houses and a 'store.' I live at one of the houses with a Hudson bay trader. We get two mails a year out there, but the newspapers only visit us once, so that you can imagine our expectation when newspaper day comes round. At the end of August every year a ship calls, and we have to be careful to remember to order everything we want, because if we forget anything we should have to wait another year. "The Eskimos never wash them selves. I have often seen an Eskimo woman washing her young children like a cat does a kitten—by licking them all over. Their only means of livelihood lies in catching seals. They are always on the lookout for seal holes in the ice. They eat the blubber, that is the fat of the seal, and clothe them selves, or at any time, make their own sealings of sealskin. It is very cold—45 degrees below zero, as a rule—and we Europeans have to keep roaring fires going in every room of our house. "The people don't live in villages, but separately in families, so as to have as wide a field for hunting as possible. They are a very revengeful people. A short while ago an Eskimo was out hunting and saw a black dot in the distance on the ice. On ap proaching he made certain that it was a seal just protruding from a seal hole. He fired and hit him. He said he had accidentally shot a man. He called on the widow, said how sorry he was, and promising to help the woman, asked for forgiveness. "The son of the dead man entered, and, when he heard the story, he rushed off and killed all the hunter's family, and so the feud began. When we were informed of this and came to investigate we found that there was only one man surviving out of two familes of about 100. He then barely awitness until we came, and even now when in the grip of starvation commit the most awful deeds. Lately a mother, ravaged terribly by hunger, ate her two children. Another killed his wife and lived on, and when she had been eaten up tried to murder three other men's children. Luckily he was prevented. There are no native laws. They don't steal, but think nothing of murder. When they are 'put out', the saying goes, they must 'be a life.' "They don't mind whom they kill when they are angry as long as they kill some one. There is no sort of punishment for the crime. They are fond of singing and their favorite or only game is connected therewith. A piece of seal bone, with a little hole in it, is suspended from the roof. They all sit round the 'room', and each tries to throw an arrow into the hole. "He who succeeds has a long time to win, and the most tough wins the game. They have large families, and the race would increase tremendously were it not for accidents and murders. They are, however, very much impressed by the Christian creed, and we are gradually getting them to change their ways." He Would Have to Wear It. The late Wilson Barrett, famous English actor, possessed a valuable old dresser who had the good fortune to be built on the same classic lines as Barrett himself, and accordingly inherited his master's cast-off clothes. One day something had upset Barrett at rehearsal and he lost his temper. Every one stamped out of his way. He strode into his dressing-room with flashing eyes, and so indignant he feel that he incontinently dashed his hat with great violence into the corner of the apartment. The faithful dresser, who knew every mood of his master, was quite unperturbed. He merely exclaimed, in bland tones, but with a touch of reproach: "Here, steady, guv'nor; I've got to wear that day!" At the Shore. "Atlantic City grows more and more overcrowded. Even the sea breeze seems to have a stuffy smell there now." The speaker was Dr. Henry J. Adeleer, the well-known Denver pioneer of sea and sun therapy. He resumed: "Two ladies sat on an Atlantic City plaza. The first said: "The beach is all covered with shells." "Oh, how lovely," said the second lady. "Lovely? returned the first. Why, I think it's horrid to let the excursionists throw their peanut rubbish all over the place like that."

After Quarter of a Century's Astronomical and Celestial Photographic Work, Huge Chart of Heavens is Practically Done. After a quarter of a century of careful astronomical and celestial photographic work, the great map of the heavens is practically completed, as just announced by the astronomer royal of England. Some twenty observatories around the globe have cooperated in the making of this huge celestial chart. The work of this astrographic chart was distributed by a permanent committee into stellar zones, with 2,000 photographs to each zone, and when complete contain every star in the firmament down to the seventeenth magnitude. The outcome of this immense piece of work from the millions of measurements made in the study of the stars is so minute that, as a rule, at least a century is required to discern them even by our modern improved methods of celestial photography. The movements are not really slow, for if one takes the velocity of our earth in its annual journey around the sun at twenty miles a second as a fair sample of the stars, but a great journey of 200,000,000 miles across would seem a minute movement to the nearest fixed star, and to the most of them would he imperceptible. This is, however, not the only movement from the earth; the sun is moving and the astronomer partakes of that motion also. It is not a circling or oscillating motion, but is in the same direction year after year, so far as can be ascertained, the distance traversed each year being about 400,000,000 miles; therefore, one year's journey is scarcely more perceptible from the distant star. All the stars are moving in this way persistently year by year, hence, though the movement be imperceptible, by waiting ten or twenty years on the earth, they perfectly perceive the movements of many of them. Those far away in infinite space require even longer time, how much longer astronomers cannot tell, and this is one of the questions on which they hope to get some light by the work on the great star map and its successors. It is thought that this feature of the work will probably disclose that after ten years a certain percentage of the stars have moved; after twenty years new movements previously uncertain can be added; and after ten years still a certain percentage. And by watching the run of the sequence astronomers may be able to predict what will happen in longer periods. This photographic map of the heavens, embracing not less than 100,000,000 stars, is, perhaps, the most expensive piece of astronomical equipment, but it will be 20,000 ploughed so if each complete copy was sold for $5,000, it is said that there would be a loss on the transactions. To Help Find Your Umbrella A simple innovation to assist forgetful folks to recover articles left by them in public vehicles is announced from Berlin. In future every taxi and horse cab in the German capital will be provided with a little box filled with cards bearing the identification number of the vehicle. The traveler is requested to help himself from the box. That the introduction in London of the same method for tracing lost property more quickly would not be out of place is shown by the fact that last year no fewer than 84,876 objects were found and deposited at Scotland Yard by drivers and conductors of public vehicles. The British climate is responsible for the fact that the largest number of these objects were umbrellas, of which 32,250 were lost and found. Next come grips and satchels, 10,184. Only enough, the sacks seem to run each other pretty close in the matter of "articles of clothing." As "women's" 6,919 articles were registered, and as "men's" 6,889. Europe May Yet Be Island A curious prophecy as to the eventual fate of Europe is made by a well-known geologist, Herr Golache, in one of the scientific reviews. He points out that since a certain period great crevasses have been produced in the continent, and that thus Iceland and Greenland were separated from Scandinavia and a channel formed between England and the rest of Europe. The tendency to the formation of crevasses, he adds, still exists, and the day may be foreseen when the Ural regions, and then spread from Lake Aral northwards across the Kirkghz steps to the mouth of the Obi river and the Arctic, thus making Europe an island. Filtered Water for Chicago. Three experts, who have been studying the future sanitary policy of Chicago, announce that the time has come to consider the filtration of the city's water supply from Lake Michigan, which is often so turbid as to be tremendely distasteful.

Ed- Monston states In a bulletin that any ‘Missouri city or town nogro with $1, 000 in cash and a ttle knowledge of farming can become a farmer and {n four or five years have his farm paid for and be Independent and well off financlally. A frst payment of $600 would be the opening wedge toward Retting the farm, leaving $500 for pur- chasing farming tmplements or other articles which may be needed, The balance due on the farm can be pald off in small weekly instatiments from the money derived from the sale of crops and poultry, butter, eggs and milk. ‘Many farms have wooded areas full of oak and other timber sultable for fumber and ties, In winter, time could be given to cutting and market: ing auch timber and enough earnod that way to pay the yearly installment.

All surplus farm products that cannot be used in the boarding depart- ment will be sold in the local market and the money thus earned will be used in helping to stock the farm and to pay for student labor that may be needed irom time to time.” On the outskirts of St. Louls elty are nine fair sized dairy farms owned and operated by negroes. In Jackson county are 22 negro farmers who sell their products for a high price in Kan: sas City.

CITY Aatvity of Ar-Amercans Wissoul Matropls, WUSINESS IS GROWING FAST St, Louis Is Showing the Way to Less Advanced Communities—Some of the Leaders of the Race and What They Are Doing. By RALPH W. TYLER. ‘St. Louis.—Visiting this city as a rep- resentative of and in the interest of the National Negro Business league, I naturally went into conditions here more carefully than the casual visitor. Next to Washington perhaps St. Louis thas been famed most for ber colored society. Its large aumber of colored schoolteachers, drawn from every sec- tion of the country and representing ‘the best institutions of higher educa- tion, gives to the city a cultured com- munity, as Washington's more than 500 colored teachers give to that city 8 superior air of culture. Secare in their professions of culture and consciousness of much “higher” education, the colored people of St. Louls for years neglected that basic foundation for permanent and substan- tial progress—business, There is a re vival on here now, a business revival, and, while not neglecting elther culture oF the go called “higher” education, the colored people of St. Louis, inspired by the achievements of colored business men in other cities and encouraged by its local Negro Business league, are branching out rapidly and successfully into various lines of activities. ‘One of the most complete men's fur- nishing ‘stores conducted by colored men in the country is to be found here im this city, conducted by Clark & Smith. The largest and most modern steam laundry, owned and operated by colored men, is one of St. Louis’ boast- ed colored co-operative enterprises. The drug stores, print shops, grocery stores, newspapers and cafes are now equal to the best to be found in other parts of the country. ‘The schools are among the best in the country—best buildings, best equip- ped, best managed and possessing a corps of the best prepared teachers. No city compares with St. Louls for the magnificence of its colored churches, and no city’s colored pul- piteers surpass In eloquence and pre- Paredness the colored ministers of this city nor in their race devotion. 1 was of course particularly inter- ested in es, of business progress among our people. I ascertained, after four days’ careful investigation, that the colored people of this city have $150,000 invested in business enter- prises, that they own $250,000 worth of real estate and that the men and women engaged in business and pro- feasions are injecting into their work rare energy and an admirable personal service which makes for success. 1 also ascertained that the race is repre- sented as owners and conductors of the following businesses: Men’s fur- nishings, groceries, meat markets, drug stores, coffee and teas, undertak- ers, livery, shoe repairing, notion stores, printing, publishing, horseshoe- ing, theaters, cafes, laundry, hair cul- ture, etc. I found the local Negro Business league, recently organized, under that splendid business man, W. ©. Gordon, bas become a very potent factor in propagating the doctrine of business and professional co-operation. While here every opportunity was of- fered to me to get at the real facts concerning the race's progress, along business lines.

All these things are true signs of the individual's character and the reflec- tion of his true make.
