Last week Chicago, Ill., witnessed one of the largest and most enthusiastic Masonic meetings ever held by the Negro race. It was conceded to be the largest and most intelligent body of secret society men and women ever held in Chicago and the most representative ever held by the Negro race in the world. It was a meeting where all of the branches of Masonry from the first to the 33rd degree met and all the branches of the women's department met. It was the first time in the history that all branches of this, the greatest fraternal society in the world, met. There were fully 5,000 visitors in Chicago. Every state in the union was represented and several foreign countries present. In that branch known as the International Conference of Grand Masters, P. G. M.'s and Grand Secretaries, this was the most important of all the branches, as it was the foundation of the other branches. This was the branch that your humble servant presided at here. We had twenty-one states represented by either grand masters or grand secretaries, a total of thirty-two members of this conference. The most enthusiasm was aroused when the grand master of O. Hiora, Cora Adams, presented P. G. M. Wm. Broy, the nestor of the round table and veteran Masonic law exponent, who had served our beloved order for sixty-five years, and W. L. Harrison of Pennsylvania presented their nestor, Wm. Miller, who has served the order fifty-one years, and he is the present grand secretary. Then Grand Master S. Joe Brown presented Iowa's oldest member, Austin A. Bland, who for fifty years last April has been in the active work of the order. Much work was in regard to uniformity of all Masonic work, especially the ritualistic work. The committee on uniformity recommended the adoption of the ritual just issued by Ohio. The recommendation was passed unanimously. In the International Supreme Grand Chapter of O. E. S. there were many states represented by both present and past grand matrons and patrons. They held a fine meeting and so did the Daughters of Isis, also the Court of Heroines of Jericho. Then the Royal Arch Masons and the commandery meetings were largely attended and very instructive. The Imperial Council A. E. A. O. Nobles of Mystic Shrine held the largest attention and most enthusiastic meeting in its history and much business was done. Their parade Monday evening was the finest and longest ever held. Their contest drill at the Eiothri reeri total armory was simply grand. New York won first prize and St. Louis second. The Knight Templars parade Thursday afternoon was two miles long. Several bands and fully 3,000 sri knights in line. The athletics were good at the evening White Ball park. They were with the clarel concle lost with a drill and dance. The Emmanual commandery of Kansas 冠 won first prize. Fully 1,000 were dancing at the Seventh regimental hall. EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS.

Three New Safety Stations Are Established, Equipped With Specially Constructed—Cars for Rescue Work. Uncle Sam is making an earnest effort to reduce the loss of life that results from accidents in the mines of the United States and at the same time to develop the mining industry to still greater proportions than it has already attained. To this end the department of the interior has begun carrying out the provisions of an act of congress which provides for the establishment of ten mining experiment stations and seven mine-safety stations in addition to those already established. Appropriations are available for only three of the safety stations and three of the experiment stations, but the other will be provided for by subsequent appropriations. Secretary of the Interior Lane has announced the location of two of the three mining experiment stations and three mine-safety stations. The first of the experiment stations is to be at Fulbranks, Alaska; the second at Tucson, Artz., and the third, not yet definitely announced, in the Pacific Northwest. The safety stations as decided upon will be at Butte, Mont.; Reno, Nev., and Raton, N. M. The sum of $25,000 is appropriated for each of the mining experiment stations and $101,500 for the three safety stations. The purpose of all the stations according to the law is to make investigations with view toward improving conditions in the mining, quarrying, metallurgical and other mineral industries, safeguarding life among employees, preventing unnecessary waste of resources, and otherwise contributing to the advancement of these industries. Each of the mine-safe stations is to be equipped with an all-steel mine rescue car which will respond to disaster calls within its prescribed territory. Congress has appropriated $35,000 for the purchase of the three cars. These cars will be of special design and will represent the most modern thought in rescue work. They will be manned by expert crews of life savers, who, when they are not employed at a mine disaster, will go to the different mining camps and train the miners to rescue work and first aid to the injured. Secretary Lane thinks that the experiment stations, by aiding in the development of new metallurgical processes, will aid materially in enlarging the mining industry, providing employment for more men, with the utilization of the low-grade mineral deposits to their highest extent. He regards the new step as a most deserved recognition of an industry which now has a yearly deposit of probably two and a half billion dollars and which is next to agriculture in its importance to the welfare of the country. FEW REALIZE VASTNESS OF THE GRAND CANYON Few persons can realize on a first view of the Grand Canyon that it is more than a mile deep and from eight to ten miles wide. The cliffs descending to its depth form a succession of huge steps, each 300 to 500 feet high, with steep rocky slopes between. The cliffs are the edges of hard beds of limestone or sandstone; the intervening slopes mark the outcrops of softer beds. This series of beds is more than 3,000 feet thick, and the beds lie nearly horizontal. Far down in the canyon is a broad shelf caused by the hard sandstone at the base of this series, deeply trenched by a narrow inner canyon cut a thousand feet or more into the underlying "granite." The rocks vary in color from white and buff to red and pale green. They present a marvelous collection of picturesque forms, mostly on a titanic scale, fashioned mainly by erosion by running water, the agent which has excavated the canyon. U. S. LEADS ALL WORLD U. N. PETROLEUM PRODUCTION Output in 1915 Was 65.85 Per Cent of Total—Russia Second and Mexico Third In List. The United States supplies 65.85 per cent of all the crude petroleum produced in the world in 1915, according to figures compiled by Uncle Sam, Russia was the nearest competitor of the United States and Mexico, in spite of the unsettled conditions there, was the third largest oil producing country in the world. The production in the United States was 281,104,104 barrels of 42 gallons each. Russia was a poor second with 68,548,062 barrels, while Mexico produced 82,910,505 barrels. Figures on petroleum production in the world since 1857 show that the United States has been steadily gaining on other countries. The total production in the United States during that period was 8,616,561,244, or 60.10 per cent of the entire production of the world in that time, while in 1915 the proportion produced by the United States has grown to 65.85 per cent. During the same period, from 1857 to 1915, Russia has produced 1,690,781,907 barrels, or 28.10 per cent of the total production, while in 1915, the output of that country had fallen to 16.06 per cent of the world's total. The only other country in the world which produced more than 1,000,000 barrels in 1915 was the Dutch East Indies, Rounmania, India, Galicia, Japan, and Formosa, and Peru, but the production in most of these countries was less than 1 per cent of RED MAN PROGRESSING RED MAN PROGRESSING Passing of Indian Medicine Man New Step Forward. Uncle Sam, In Effort to Perpetuate Race, Aids HIs Wards in Putting End to the Ravages of Disease. The day of the old-time Indian medicine man is rapidly passing. Encouraged by Uncle Sam, the red man is turning more and more to the white man's physician and his medicine. The passing of the Indian medicine man marks another step toward the Americanization of the original American. In the face of the march of civilization through the reservations of the red man, the medicine man has held his own to a remarkable degree until recently, when the ravages of tuberculosis and trechoma among the adults and the heavy mortality among the infants on the reservations led to the conclusion that if the red man was to be perpetuated, modern sanitary and medical measures must be adopted. Uncle Sam has endeavored to do his part in the protection of his wards by greatly increasing the number of hospitals for the use of the Indians. While there were only 53 hospitals in 1912, with a capacity of 1,256, there were 74 in 1915, with a capacity of 2,045, and more are being built or planned. Substantial increases have also been made in the number of field unnurses and nurses, and an attempt made to furnish the best practicable service with the appropriations that congress would make possible. In view of the widespread prevalence of trachoma and tuberculosis, as reported by the investigation of the public health service, ophthalmologists have been increased in number from seven, and the number of regular agency physicians increased from 89 to 130, and contract physicians from 53 to 76. The appropriation for relief of distress has been increased from $200,000 to $350,000. Modern thought having indicated the importance of well-cared-for teeth, seven traveling dentists have been employed, whose duty it is to keep the teeth of the children enrolled in Indian schools in the best condition practicable. In an effort to improve the sanitary surroundings under which Indians must live, campaigns for sanitary clean-ups have been waged on the various reservations. The importance of bringing about a real improvement in infant mortality if the Indian is to be perpetuated has been recognized, and an earnest campaign has been instituted and is now in force to save the babies. This campaign has brought out the most cordial co-operation on the part of all employees in the service, and while the results can only be shown after a period of years its effectiveness is even now apparent. "CONSCIENCE FUND" BOOSTED Uncle Same Enriched by More Than $54,000. Biggest contribution Whether or not it is indicative of the growth of the public conscience, Uncle Sam profited more in 1915 by the awakening of the consciences of some individuals than he had in any other year since the "conscience fund" of the treasury department came into existence in 1887. In that year the total contributions to the fund were $250. During the last fiscal year the fund was increased by more than $54,000. It is pointed out that conscience has recently been unusually active, not only to enrich the federal treasury but to increase the portions and individuals. An Ohio man paid 25 cents for apples stolen six years ago; a California paid a newspaper subscription 33 years overdue; a woman sent stamps to a Kansas City street railway company to pay for four fares, and a Pennsylvania paid up a hotel bill he skipped 25 years ago. WANT ALL CARS TO BE STEEL Officials of Bureau of Fisheries Making Effort to Displace All Wooden Coaches Now In Use. Uncle Sam is a great believer in "safety first." In line with this policy the bureau of fisheries is making an effort to replace its wooden cars with those of modern steel construction. One has just been placed in service and congress has appropriated $40,000 for the construction of two others. The six cars in use traveled 149,054 miles during the past year and although they met with no accidents the danger to which they are subjected when used with heavy up-to-date rolling stock makes it necessary that the government should itself use the same improved equipment which it requires of others. These cars are used in carrying the little fish from the buenut's hatcheries to the waters in which they are to be planted, a service which covers every state in the country. War Costly to Netherlands. The government of the Netherlands has spent millions of dollars in caring for the Belgian refugees who crossed the frontier when Belgium was invaded at the beginning of the war. Erwin W. Thomson, Uncle Sam's commercial attache, reports that during 1915 there were paid out by the government of the Netherlands, $1,700,000 for refugee camps where temporary homes have been made for impoverished Belgians, $1,770,000 for relief of Belgian refugees outside the camps, $38,000 for the education of children of the refugees, $80,000 for assistance in employment for the refugees, and $400 for relief to the families of soldiers.

Daly Is World's Greatest Expert on Possibilities of Missouri Hybrid. IN CHARGE OF PACK TRAINS Haa Devised Many Improvements in This Method of Transportation—Conducts School for Muleteers on the Border. San Antonio, Tex.-H. W. Daly, chief packer of the quartermaster corps, U. S. A., the greatest expert on the possibilities of the Missouri mule on earth, is here. His duty is the organization of ten pack trains and he is conducting a school for muleteers. The model class of the school comprises one gray bell horse and a company of 64 white or gray mules—all "veterans," for this is the pack train that crossed into Mexico with Sibley soon after the Glenn Springs raid. Here is an inventory of a pack train: Packmaster, who gets $100 a month but no rations; "cargorad," $60 a month and rations; blacksmith or horseshoe, $75 a month, out no rations; cook, $40 a month and rations; ten packers, $50 a month and rations. Each individual in a pack train must be able to 14 riding mules and the remainder—50 animals—carry the packs. The duties of the bell horse are to lead the precession. As a general thing, each pack mule will walk away with a minimum load of 250 pounds, so that means something more than six tons of cargo to the train, and if need be the cargo can be raised to eight tons. Over in the Philippines one of Mr. Daly's mules rumbled around on mountain trails with 540 pounds aboard and the load happened to be a mountain howitzer. This mule would not be covered by the overherring hero and saved the day, for the howitzer put to rout any enemy apparently unentended by mere rifle fire. When packers become proficient they should be able to load a mule in about thirty seconds. As Daly figures it, two months are required to turn out a first class pack train of the sort above criticism. Many Years a Packer. Nowadays the "aparejo", or pack saddle, which Daly invented for our army, is made to conform to the mule so there is little possibility of the heavy load chafing or injuring the animal's back. Daly's experiences as a packer started in the spring of 1851 when he crossed the British northwest territories from Montreal to Vancouver and was employed in bringing in supplies on mule back to the Canadian mining camps. Then he engaged as packer in many Indian campaigns of the United States army, including the operations against Geronimo. When the Spanish war broke out he was working on a railroad in Mexico. He enlisted immediately and went to Cuba. After the campaign he was called to Washington, where he devised improvements in pack-train transportation. He also went to West Point to lecture. From 1002 to 1009 he was stationed at Fort Leavenworth and there made further improvements in field artillery, mountain and machine gun, engineer, signal, hospital and ordinance corps pack equipment. On February 13, 1003 he was made chief packer of the army. "For mountain work no substitute to take the place of the mule will ever be found," said Daly.

TEN IN FAMILY STRICKEN Meales Attack All But Father in Illinois Home-Scares Health Officer. Pana. ill.—This discovery was made here recently of ten cases of measles in one family and the board of health immediately ordered a strict quarantine upon the home. The cases are in the family of Edward Blond on Wynandotte street and include every member but Bland. Those ill and bedfast are Mrs. Ellin Bland, the wife and mother, and these children: Mrs. Mary F. Harlow, thirty-six years of age; William D. Bland, twenty-one years of age; Lew Bland, eighteen years of age; Manile Bland, twenty eight years old; Gertle Bland, twelve years old; Susanna Bland, ten years old; Irene Bland, seven years old; Calt Bland, aged four, and Fannie Bland, aged three. President William Fisher of the health board beat a hasty retreat from the Blind home when he went there to investigate, believing that he had found his way into a veritable nest of smallpox. Later physicians diagnosed as measles. None of the cases are considered serious at this time. DISCOVER GOLD IN THE SAND Find in Minnesota Creek Causes Fever to Spread to Whole Surrounding Country. Austin, Minn.—Gold has been found here in the sands of the Cedar river. Samples sent to assayers recommended by the treasury department at Washington were found to run as high in value as $1,664.40 a ton. The appearance of the mineral, known as float gold, in banks of the stream has caused the fever to spread to the surrounding country, and farmers now are sending samples out for authoritative inspection. The first find was made by Mrs. Daisy Dalager during the excavation for a cellar. STARTS JUVENILE POLICE Internaional Film Service Harry H.

J.-Lightning recorded an unusual声响 on the farm The KITCHEN CABINET He knows not his own strength who has not met adversity.-Ben Johnson. Our critie and failures are our best friends.-Chaak. Munn. The iceed dishes made of buttermilk or sour milk, egg, fruit juices and sugar, frozen as any ice cream, are most acceptable for a change during the hot weather and many like the flavor, finding them more agreeable than the richer ice creams. Midsummer ice.-Take a piece of masherpies and currants, canned fruit will do. Put the fruit through a sieve and add a stirup of sugar and water, using a cupful of sugar to two of water; cool and add to the strained juice. Freeze as usual; serve with a garnish of preserved or fresh fruit. Rice With Raspberry Sauce—Cook rice and mold in a hollow mold. Turn on a platter and surround with raspberry sauce, or jam or the fresh berries well mixed with sugar. Raspberry Whip—It is wise to prepare berries for this dish in their season. Stuply mash them and mix with an equal bulk of sugar, then in sterile jars and seal. Keep in the ice chest or on the floor of a cool cellar. Take a cupful and a half of the crushed berries and beat with two egg whites until stiff enough to stand in shape. Serve in high glasses with a soft custard. If fresh berries are used, and a cupful of powdered sugar to a cupful and a half of berries. Raspberry Bavarian Cream.—Take a cupful and a half of sifted raspberry pulp and juice and the same amount of heavy cream, a cupful of sugar, if fruit is fresh, and a tablespoonful of gelatin, a tablespoonful of lemon juice and a fourth of a cupful of water in which the gelatin was softened. Stir in the fruit juices with the gelatin until it begins to thicken. Whip the cream and fold it in, pour into a mold that has been lightly greased with olive oil. Chill five hours and serve with a garnish of fresh berries or jam. Angel Food With Berries.—Cut angel food in squares, cover with sweetened crushed berries, top with whipped cream, and serve well chilled. This is such a simple dessert and yet most tasty. Sponge cake may be used in the place of angel food. You will realize the vision (not the idea wish) of your heart, be it base or best wish, be mixtures of both, you will always be tempted to touch which you secretly love. Into your hands will be placed the exact results of your own thoughts; you will receive fresh food, a warm soak, no fail. Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall or rise with your own thoughts, your vision, your ideal. Your own environment will be your controlling desire; as great as your commanding aspiration - James Allen. At the Palace of Sweets one finds any new teeping dishes that can be easily prepared at home. The banana split or banana royalty is one of these. Split a well ripened banana in two and place on a chilled plate, on the top of the fruit put a layer of vanilla ice cream and over this a little finely chopped or grated pimpleapple, a few chopped almonds and lastly a spoonful of whipped cream garnished with a cherry. Walnut Delight.-Scald a pint of sweet milk with two level tablespoonfuls of corns®rch; add one-half cupful of sugar and cook until the starch is well done. Beat one egg until light, stir into the slightly cooled custard, then add a half cupful of chopped walnuts and a half teaspoonful of vanilla. Pour into molds and allow to set. When ready to serve, garnish with two or three toasted marshmallows. Marshmallow Glace.-Make a sip of a cupful of sugar and one-half cupful of water, add ten marshmallows and allow them to melt. Stir and if too thick add a little hot water to make a sort of paste; flavor with vanilla and set aside to cool. Make a second sip of a cupful of sugar and a half cupful of water, when well dissolved mix a little of the sip with three teaspoonfuls of coarse salt to stir the sip and melt the sip. Portions of vanilla ice cream in sheer cups, pour over some of the marshmallow mixture and over all the hot chocolate sip. Serve immediately. Chartreuse of Jelly.—Remove the center from a round sponge cake, leaving an inch at the bottom and sides. Into this pour any flavored gelatin jelly when it is just ready to set. Serve with a cover of sweetened and flavored whipped cream and with a garnish of fresh fruits. The gelatin coconut are delicious. Put the custard in the cups, then over the top put a generous tablespoonful of fresh grated coconut and a grating of orange peel. A little more sugar will be needed in this custard, as the coconut increases the bulk.

The beauty seen in the picture weighed 170 pounds and gave Farnum and his bountain one of the hardest battles of their lives. The fish is a member of the deep sea bass family and was declared "out" in the short time of 22 minutes. It was one of the largest of its kind caught in years. GIRL DIES AS PREDICTED Fortune Teller Told Pennsylvania Girl to Avoid Trips on the Water. Phoenixville, Pa.—The body of Dorothy Barr, the seventeen-year-old girl of this place, who drowned in the Schuylkill river, was found about one mile from the spot where she lost her life. Lock Tender Hennessy, at the Pawling locks, saw the body floating in the river and recovered it from a boat. The drowning of Miss Barr and the finding of her body followed the prediction made a week before the girl's death by a fortune teller whom she and a girl friend consulted in a spirit of fun. The seer then told Miss Barr to avoid all trips or voyages upon the water, and said she would take such a trip and work her way through the fortune teller when he predicted that after four days her body would be recovered. The girl laughed at the clairvoyant, but the prophesy was vividly recalled to the mind of her companion when the body was recovered. SON COMMANDS HIS FATHER Latter is a Private in a Militia Company, and Former is Lieutenant. Kansas City, Kan.-The regular order of things is that the son should take orders from the father. But in Company A, Kansas National Guard of Kansas City, Kan., this order is reversed in the case of William Firstenberger, father, and Alfred Firstenberger, son. William Firstenberger, although postmaster of Kansas City, Kan., and an important appearing person of some 250 pounds, is just a private. Alfred Firstenberger is Second Lieutenant of the company, much smaller in size—but possessing authority. So when Son Firstenberger issues orders "Pa" Firstenberger, although he may be a bit tired—or perhaps differing in opinion—must obey them. In this case the son has to obey.

To open then to love the windows wide. During the hot days we eliminate as much heat from the house as possible and the thinking housewife remembers that foods produce heat, and those which give off the minimum are the foods to serve during the hot weather. The one who reduces the heat-producing foods, starch, fat and sugar, and replaces them with foods not rich in these elements, will be better fitted to endure the weather without overheating the system. Eggs, cheese, fish, in combination with various vegetables served in the place of meat are most attractive and satisfying salads. Some vegetables are richer in the protied element than others; peas, beans and lentils are the nearest to meat of any vegetable. Roquefort Salad—Prepare crisp head lettuce and arrange on individual plates. Prepare a salad dressing of a tablespoonful of vinegar to three oil, a half teaspoonful of salt, a few dashes of red pepper; doubling this portion as needed. Cream a tablespoonful of roquefort cheese and add to the dressing, beaten well to blend, with an egg beater. Cheese Jelly Salad—Mix a half cupful of good flavored cheese with a cupful of whipped cream; add salt and pepper to season and a tablespoonful of gelatin dissolved in three-fourths of a cupful of water. Mold in one large or in individual molds. Cover each mold with grated cheese when it begins to harden. Serve with French dressing to which grated cheese has been added, as well as a tablespoonful of catchup. Nearly all fruits have acids and salts in solution which are cooling, and that have tonic properties. A fruit salad is a most gratifying one to serve on a hot day; it serves as a salad and as a dessert. With the addition of a few nuts it will also be sufficiently nourishing. Slice tomatoes, small ones, in halves, sprinkle with chopped, green peppers and onion and serve with French dressing. if we do our best, if we do not magnify trifling troubles; if we look resou- tely, I do not say at the bright side I should say that they reall- are; if we avail ourselves of the manfold blessings which surround us; we cannot but feel that life is indeed a glorious inheritance—Sir John Lub- ock. Salads and sandwiches seem the most appropriate foods to serve for the light supper or re- refreshments on a hot day. St. Regis Salad—Wash a pair of sweet-breeds and drop with a bay leaf into boiling water, simmer until tender, then chill by putting in blts, removing all the membrane, Take equal parts of finely-cut celery and mix with the sweetbreads; add a handful of blanched almonds, cut in shreds. Walnuts may be used, but they are more difficult to branch. Cut in halves, a cupful of Malaga grapes, removing the seeds, and mayonnaise dressing which has been mixed with a little whipped cream. Mix all the ingredients and arranges on individual plates in lettuce leaves. Garnish with stuffed olives, sliced. This will serve eight persons amply. Fruit and Pepper, Salad.—Cut in dice a small bunch of celery, enough to make three culpids; add four medium-sized apples and one apple, one can of red peppers and one green pepper chopped. Mix lightly with mayonnaise dressing and serve in green pepper cups or in halves of lemons. These may be saved for the purpose when making lemonade. The green peppers may be cut, leaving a small handle like a basket. Olive and Celery Sandwiches.—Chop separately in a chopping bowl an equal quantity of stuffed olives, (the kind stuffed with pinnatus) and tender celery. Mix and moisten with sufficient mayonnaise dressing to spread easily. Put on buttered bread and cut in any desired form. Poppy Seed Salad.—Place head lettuce, well crisped and drained, on the salad plates; sprinkle with grated sage cheese. Roast until well browned in a half cupful of poppy seeds and sprinkle over with salad. Serve with French dressing. A tart apple chopped with equal quantities of southern onion served on lettuce with any good dressing is a most tasty salad. Nellie Maxwell Although the war caused a great slump in 1915 in the production of ores of radium and uranium, it caused a considerable increase in the production of ores of vanadium in this country, according to the United States geologist, Martin Van Buren, who apparently liked to see things coming toward him in a flock, is said to have waited until the end of his presidential term before drawing any of his salary.

K. HOWEW. One of the sins of this column will be to keep our readers posted from time to time on the athletics of our race participating in athletics of a higher calibre and especially those competing in colleges and universities. This week we are introducing to you Mr. C. L. Abbott of the South Dakota State college. Few of us knew that right next to us here in South Dakota was a race athlete who for four years was all state center. Abbott weighs less than 170 pounds and looks more like a plow hand than a football player. Besides being all state center for four years he won his letter four years in baseball, four years in track, competing in the Drake relays at least twice, and four years in basketball, being captain of the team last fall, his senior year. Besides all of this athletic competition Abbott has worked his way through South Dakota State university and graduated with high scholastic honors. He goes to take up his work as head of the dairying department at Tuskegee and will also give the athletes of Tuskegee the benefit of his athletic training. The thud of the pigskin is already being heard from many lots and our hearts are beginning to beat real fast, for soon we'll hear the referee say "second down and ten to go." Already the Maroons have begun to look behind trunks and in closets for those old football togs they threw away last. Thanksgiving day and swore by all the gods above and below the earth they would never put on again. The Maroons are going to have the best football team this fall they've ever had, first because the players are more seasoned and better conditioned than everbefore, and second because they are going to have a real, live, honest-to-gooodness coach. Yes, Archie Alexander is going to coach the Maroons this fall. Look out Fair Grounds, look out Valley Junction, Alexander the great's on your trail and every Maroon player says that the Maroon goal won't be crossed this year, a record they've had for four straight years. The Maroons lose two players this year, "Pockets" McGuire and Curtis Morton. McGuire enters the Chicago art school September 6th and Curtis Morton enters North High. Curtis Morton's place will likely be filled by Dunlap, an old high school star, but "Pocket's" successor is yet to be chosen. Howard P. Drew has probably run his last race. Last Saturday at San Diego, Drew strained himself again and is now laid up with paralysis. No Negro athlete has ever done more to put the race on the athletic map than Howard P. Drew, and if this does mark the fall of the curtain on the Drew act we certainly want to shed a tear. Football and track coaches may trot out all their favorites who showed "nerve," "crust," "guts," "stick-to-it-fitness," but none can bring out a star that outshines Drew. Ever since Drew pulled a tendon in Stockholm in 1912 as a member of the American Olympic team he has had to run under most adverse circumstances, but never once has he been heard offering his injury as an alibi. When he lost to Joe Loomis in Frisco last fall he didn't hollow "My leg" a single time, but set out to train harder and a few months later beat Loomis in the east. These are only a few of Drew's good points. We must confess that we tip our hat to Howard P. Drew as the greatest sprinter the world has ever produced. They say figures don't lie. We offer you two world's records accredited to Drew, 9 3-5 for the century and 21 1-5 for the 220. And Drew is the last person in the world to remind you that he's a world's record holder. "Boy Page Binger Dismond." Why not have a tennis club? Yes, Isadore, ther are between 6,000 and 7,000 colored people in Des Moines. Yes! I know they have about 8,000 clubs, but why not a tennis club. There's always room for another club. Ye shades of Brown-Rush club argument. But to quit joking about it, we really need a tennis club. "Where there's organization there's strength." There's a lot of tennis material around these parts and if properly organized we would get a lot of pleasure out of it. Mr. Frase has promised courts and if a club is organized we will have an official organ to preach the good work on and get even more things. $20 to $40 Per Week being made by selling the new History of Colored People, everybody buys, anyone can sell, a man or woman wanted for each county to work full or spare time, write for terms and free outfit, Austin Jenkins Co., F.

It may have depressing stories from time to time, but there is much of value in the columns of this interesting periodical. The reader who has allowed himself to become pessimistic about the condition of the Negro in this country would do well to read an article about the Negroes in the West Indies. There is in this article much to set the reasoning man to thinking and to make him look with a little more of toleration, at least, on home conditions. It is a far cry from ideal or de- in this article much to set the reasoning man to thinking and to make him look with a little more of toleration, at least, on home conditions. It is a far cry from ideal or desired state of affairs to practical and almost inevitable ones. In the West Indies and South America there is no open breach on account of color, yet with all the advantages, social, political and individual, one finds that the New England states are overrun with foreign Negroes. They are not an ill-literate class either, but one would point to them as being rather alert and progressive. These men have virtually cornered certain occupations, making it rather difficult for the home boys to get jobs. It is not because they are more servile either. The facts of the matter are that they realize that this country is the best poor man's country in the world. They come here and take advantage of the opportunity, make money and never go back, as a rule. It must be admitted that for the most part these foreign Negroes are of the English speaking type. It is a splendid plan to talk of other lands, but it is a better plan to get the bucket down wherewe are. Less kicking and more work; more constructors and fewer detractors; at least as much attention to earthly affairs as to unknown ones will help ease the way for many souls, who for the most part get their ideas from strong lungs and weak brains. If a man loves some other place better than theone he is in the best plan for theman and the community is for him to be on his way. As a matter of fact the best places are just over the ridge, places and conditions may differ in some little degree, but in the main the essentials are fixed quantities. It takes hard work, a concentrated purpose, an everlasting sticking to the job to bring results. Ability is not by any means the only essential to success, financially and otherwise. Men of little ability often succeed because they are persistent and attentive, where brilliant minds and superior ability make mediocre showing; the cause of these results is putting the bucket down where you are and keeping a hold of the rope. Most of the people who know all about the promised land are unsuccessful at home and have a strong wishbone where the backbone ought to be. It is essential to know a language before one goes to a different country to make money; for all you lack in money and knowledge of conditions you must be prepared to spend, money for. The United States, with all its drawbacks, is the best poor man's country in the world.
