Move the receiver hook up and down SLOWLY four or five times to attract the operator's attention for any purpose. Moving the hook slowly opens and closes an electrical circuit which causes a tiny electric light to flash in front of the operator. If you "jiggle" the hook rapidly, the light does not glow, and the operator will not know you are trying to attract her attention. Remember, move the hook up and down SLOWLY or not at all.

Athens, Ga., July 4.—Five thousand Negroes were here today to attend dedication of new headquarters building of the Improved Order of Samaritans, which is just completed at a cost of $35,000, all of which is paid. It is a modern office building of brick, with two stores on first floor, twelve suites of offices on the second floor and an auditorium, on the third floor and was designed and constructed by Negroes. B. J. Davis of Atlanta, well known in Negro fraternal circles, delivered the principal address and urged the white people to give his race better treatment and referred to lynching and insufficient school facilities as some of the causes of Negro migration. "Some Negroes," said Davis, "think that God is better to the white man than he is to the colored man. That is not true. The white man works harder than we do. God gives him health and strength just like he gives us, but the white man works and makes every lick count. I have more respect for the man who owns his home or a farm and has a bank account than I have for some bare-headed, empty-pocketed philosopher who sits on the street corner and whines about his rights." The building which was dedicated i sa beautiful brick structure with two large stores on the first floor and twelve suites of offices on the second floor, with a spacious auditorium on the third. It is a thoroughly modern officebuilding with taraze flooring, metal ceiling and is fitted with gas and electric lights and hot and cold running water. The officers of the state organization are: H. Guile, grand chief, Lumpkin, Georgia; Dr. W. H. Harris, grand secretary, Athens, Georgia; G. W. Giles, past grand chief, Monroe, Georgia; T. K. Persley, vice grand chief, Macon, Georgia, and G. A. Cunningham, Carlton, Georgia. At the conclusion of the exercises the following persons were introduced to the audience: T. K. Persley, assistant director of mechanical drawing of the Tuskegee Institute, who designed the building; Walker brothers of Macon, Georgia, who constructed the building, and Albon L. Holsey, of Tuskegee Institute, representing the National Negro Business, founded by the late Booker T. Washington, who announced the meeting of this organization, which holds its next annual session at Chattanooga, Tennessee, August 15, 16 and 17. A good collection for the Red Cross was taken to augment the $1,200 already contributed by the Athens Negroes to this fund. CEDAR RAPIDS IOWA Mrs. Fred H. Gresham has been very ill for several days.

Des Moines made their first long practice march, which brought them to South park, just across the Coon river, a distance of five miles from the camp, where a short rest was taken, and then the return march taken up. The entire ten miles were covered in two hours and a half, including the half hour taken for rest, which made an average marching time of about five miles an hour, and all returned without feeling any the worse for the trip. On Saturday morning another march was made out to the government rifle range, a distance of three and a half miles, not only for the purpose of training in marching but also to give the cadets a little experience in clearing away ground. Axes, scythes and all sorts of tools were on the ground and within a few hours the rifle range was placed in first class condition. This outing also gave the men their first opportunity to use their mess kit, as dinner was served on the range, each man using is field mess kit, consisting of aluminum plate, vegetable dish, knife, fork and spoon, and they enjoyed it immensely. It was an extremely hot day and several of the men were prostrated by the exertion, but all have fully recovered and feel none the worse for it now. On Tuesday evening at 5:30 the first formal regimental review was held and in the presence of thousands of visitors of both races, including a large delegation from the Des Moines Chamber of Commerce, Col. Ballou drew up the entire regiment into a single line facing the main entrance and put them through the manual of arms and then had them pass in review before him, both of which ceremonies were performed in a manner which would have done credit to a regiment who had been in training much longer than the month that this regiment has.

Interesting statistics showing the time at which the children of Beverly, Mass., between the ages of eight and twelve, go to bed, disclose that 13 go to bed between five and six o'clock, 5,240 between eight and nine; 156 between 11 and 12, and 45 between 12 and 1. It is to be hoped that there are no Beverly children who are not in their nighties, safely tucked up, by one o'clock.—Boston Globe. NOTICE OF SHERIFF'S SALE ON SPECIAL EXECUTION.

Under the caption "Education and Crime Among Negroes" the American Review of Reviews in a recent issue gave this remarkably fair and logical comment on the subject: "Certain mistaken deductions from statistics of crime and education in the south are discussed by Judge Gilboe T. Stephenson of Winston-Salem, N. G in the South Atlantic Quarterly. "In the first place, it appears that the amount of crime for which the Negro race is responsible has been considerably exaggerated. For example, if one counts the inmates of the prisons of this country on any given day he finds that the Negro race, constituting only one-tenth of the total population, is penalized for nearly one-third of the crime, but if he counts the number of commitments for crime during any given period he finds that the Negro race furnishes only about one-fifth instead of one-third of the convictions. This difference arises from the fact that the terms of imprisonment of Negroes are, as a rule, longer than those of white people. "All the available statistics and the unanimous opinion of men in a position to know the facts would seem to be proof that education—elementary or advanced, industrial or literary—diminishes crime among Negroes. The alarmingly high rate of Negro criminality is as much a condemnation of the community in which it exists as of the offending Negroes themselves. "Having discovered that the Negro school is at least one institution which successfully combats crime, the community cannot afford to withhold its active interest in and generous support of its Negro school. The more money spent in making such schools responsive to the special needs of the race the less will have to be spent on crime. "And if it comes to a question of cost it is cheaper in the long run to maintain and equip schools—Negro schools even—than police departments, courts, jails, penitentiaries and reformatories, for the school properly conducted makes the Negro a greater asset, while the court finds him a liability and nearly always leaves him a greater liability of the community." HAMPTON BOYS TO SERVE. Trio From School In Virginia Joins Fifteenth Infantry Band. Sergeant Major C. M. Hooper of the Fifteenth New York infantry, national guard, has sent these telegrams to Hampton institute: "Heywood B. Hill has recommended William McK. Hubbard, Leslie E. Booker and John H. Watkins for the Fifteenth infantry band. They are to receive $40 a month in addition to all expenses." "Am sending transportation from Hampton to New York, including sleeper, for W. McK. Hubbard, L. E. Booker and J. H. Watkins to leave by the Cape Charles boat to join the Fifteenth infantry band." The Hampton institute faculty have granted permission to these students to leave school and report for military service in New York. Heywood B. Hill was a Hampton senior. "Have you seen my husband?" asked a Sutton county wife. "He left me two hours ago to be gone five minutes, and I am afraid he has found some friend. I am willing for him to be with anybody except his friends, but I do wish that he would stay away from them."—Claude Callan in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. In Bad Company. POEMS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW.

When lovely woman stoops to folly, And finds too late that men betray, What charm can soothe her melan- choly, What art can wash her guilt away? The only art her guilt to cover, To hide her shame from every eye, To give repentance to her lover, And wring his bosom, is—to die.

Mrs. Sallie Romans was born in Huntsville, Mo., July 1, 1872, and died June 18, 1917, at Oskalooa, Iowa, at 1:30 o'clock. At the time of her death she was 44 years, 11 months and 18 days old. She married J. T. Romans on December 29, 1895. They lived together twenty-one years, five months and twenty-two days. Had no children. She was asked if she was praying. Her answer was, Yes, I pray all the time. If I had not prayed I would have been dead long ago. She said that she believed that she had been converted and that she did not fear death. She was only trusting in the Lord. She was a faithful and loving wife, a obedient and devoted daughter. Her favorite hymn was "Earth Has No Sorrow That Heaven Cannot Heal." Even after she was too weak to raise her voice she would join in on the last line of every verse. She leaves to mourn her death a husband, mother, father, two nieces, one nephew and a host of other relatives and friends. Sleep on, loved one and take thy rest We loved you.

Perry as master of ceremonies and Mrs. Marie Lighton officiating at the piano, a lovely program began. Judge Chas. A. Dudley was the speaker of the afternoon. After the judge had finished, the Rev Dr. Frances Gow, a member of the officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines, was asked to respond to the judge. At 8 o'clock Attorney Godman led the large audience in singing the "Star Spangled Banner," after which Hon. Hubert R. Wright took us on a lovely voyage over the great Atlantic ocean to the most important countries where he served for thirteen years as consul for the United States. This was one of our big days at Bethel. Bethel. The soldiers and their wives will give a musical program at Bethel about August 4th.

The Roman army was divided into legions, the number of which varied. Each was under six tribunal or "chief captains," who commanded by ties. The legion was subdivided into ten cohorts, the cohort into three maniples, and the maniple into two centuries. The century originally contained 100 men, as the term implies, but subsequently from 50 to 100 men, according to the strength of the legion. Clarence constantly played with Marguerite, one of twins, until his parents teased him about his "girl." One afternoon Clarence's mother was sitting on the porch. Clarence, Marguerite, and a few other children were playing in the yard. Suddenly he left the group and coming to his mother said: "Mother, when you marry a twin, do you have to marry both of them?" Hint to husbands: When drying dishes hold the slippery ones over the rest of the dishes. Then when they slip, the chances of breaking more dishes are increased many times over the more familiar plan of dropping them on the floor. The more dishes you break, you know, the fewer you have to dry. There is no object in drying broken pieces of china.—Kansas City Star. Developing Self-Control. Self-control may be developed in precisely the same manner as we tone up a weak muscle—by little exercises day by day. Let us each day do, as mere exercises of discipline in moral gymnastics, a few acts that are disagreeable to us, the doing of which will help us in instant action in our hour of need.—W. G. Jordan. An Accommodating Hostess. Louise was to have her first birthday party. The guests had not arrived and her mother was instructing Louise how she must be pleasant and sweet to her little guests, and so make them have a good time. When her mother had finished, Louise said: "If they knock me down, I'll grin." To give happiness and to do good is our only law, our anchor of salvation, our beacon light and our reason for existence.—Henri Frederic Aniel.

Our druggist advised me to take Chamberlain's Tablets. I took a bottle home and the first dose relieved me wonderfully, and I kept on taking them until I was cured."

Y. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` HEALTH HINTS. A. J. Booker. M. D. There is a new cult in religion which claims that every person has a sort of invisible color which precedes the physical coming and going. They say that this aura changes according to the disposition of the person and the sort of humor they are in. What is more important, they claim that we affect those with whom we come in contact, that this aura is a sort of feeler and others are sensitive to aura. Whether there is truth or poetry in this idea the fact remains that we are very largely responsible for the reception we receive from people and for the impressions we leave with them. If we are in good humor we are likely to find the remains that we are very largely responsible for the reception we receive from people and for the impressions we leave with them. If we are in good humor we are likely to find the world in smiling state. When we are grouchy the world is a bad place to live in. Children are more spontaneous and likely to express their feelings and sentiments, yet there are some who do not believe in first impressions. Children instinctively shrink from cruel and deceptive folks; dogs and young folks are fair judges of humanity. A great many of our troubles are the results of our own mental state and the knowledge of our own worth. We cast our ideas, project our feeling ahead of ourselves and prepare the other person, not for what we say, but for the way we feel. The other person is often but a mirror of our true selves. If we go into a place expecting to be illly treated we will not be disappointed. If we are doubtful about our proposition we are likely to find the listener skeptical. If we expect that every one is thinking of us in terms of color we are likely to find them doing so. The real facts are that much of prejudice is kept in thought and action by our thinking in these terms. The less we remember differences the more likely we are to have exhibitions of differences shown to us. Whether we are exponents of any of these esoteric religions, or not, there are many practical points in living for us to get from them. It should matter little to us from whence these truths come so long as they help us live and act better. As a purely metaphysical proposition, we must admit that the more of love, kindness, good will and harmony we send from us the more there is in the world, consequently the more people are going to be affected. We must think less in terms of color and of discrimination than we do in terms of world values and equality. There is a subtle psychological truth abroad in the land that if we are made to think in circles of selfishness we will be unfitted to think in straight lines and reach logical and broad conclusions. We must be careful of our aura lest the other fellow see us better than we can express ourselves. There is a certain nobility in being imposed upon if this imposition is borne with dignity and patience. To be resentful and made sullen is to lose the soul quality and fail to have the proper reaction on the other person. There are certain gifts in the lap of the gods which we may not be fortunate in sharing, but we can come up to every measure of requirement, thereby putting the burden of proof and the dishonor on the other fellow. Finer qualities are never without recourse and reward. The reward may be simply the acquisition of a fine soul, the recourse may be the withdrawal from the field of coarse natures, but fine people are less concerned about practices and apparent victories than they are about principles and the justness of the cause. If your cause be just and your contention unselfish you have won your victory regardless of the coarse or inconsiderate judge or audience. Sooner or later the facts soak in and you have won. This aura is a thing we must be careful of; we must be sure that we do not give advance notice of our real feelings and embarrassment when it will work to our own defeat of purpose. We must think less of color and more of the big things of the world. We must expect more than we mentally rule ourselves out of. A finesse of approach and gentle demeanor will often gain more for us than great argument. Our own mental attitude is often the greatest weapon of disadvantage we carry about with us. In matters of social contact the right poise will carry, by a doctrine of non-resistance, further than harsh words and a stubborn manner. The conquests which are won by kindness and worth are greater and more lasting than those which come by force and arms.

Out-of-town customers supplied by BAPTISTS VISIT FOREIGN FIELD HAD THRILLING SEA VOYAGE Representative of National Baptist Convention Describes Conditions as They Exist In Senegal and Gambia. French Colony Furnishes Great Number of Black Troops to the Allies. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the foreign mission board of the National Baptist convention, has returned from West Africa, whither he went in January to visit the several mission stations and schools fostered by the convention. Dr. Jordan was accompanied by some of the new workers under the auspices of the board, among whom are the Rev. and Mrs. Horton and Dr. Sykes. The trip was one of great profit to the denomination, especially at this crisis of our national race. Describing some incidents of the trip to Dakar, Senegal, and to Bassa, Secretary Jordan said: "We were at sea four days on the steamer Egori, and to say they were days of great anxiety is putting it mildly. Reading of war and being in the zone of warfare are two different things. In Liverpool we paid 60 cents for one egg, a cup of tea, small piece of ham, bread and butter; $6 per day each for lodging. Thinking it better to go on to some African coast town and catch our ship possibly a week later, we boarded this ship Wednesday night, Jan. 24, but remained in harbor till Thursday noon. Our tickets to Bassa cost $615.04. "On boarding the ship our party got together in my cabin and read Phil. iv. PETER H. SECRETARY L. G. JOBDAN. 5, and Matt, xxvll, 20, and knelt to pray, thankking God for his care thus far, for the friends who sent us out, for his continued care and protection, that the people to whom we go may receive us and our message be a blessing to them and the kingdom. Then we went apart to meditate, reconsecrate ourselves to God and to sleep. "All we ever heard about 'God will take care of you' comes up fresh in our minds, and we believed all of it. So in his great name we went forward. To avoid raiders and submarines we went 1,000 miles or more out of our course. The weather was bad, and we were all poor sailors. By wireless we learned a submarine was behind us some distance and that a ship off to our left had struck a mine and was sinking rapidly. It cried for help, but we were too far away to go to her rescue. We were called on deck, each coming with his life belt; they were tested and tried on. Each was then shown the boat to make for in case of need. The signal for 'ten minutes' was given and the signal for 'at once,' so we would understand. "We arrived at Dakar, Senegal, safely. Here is a city of 25,000 and a colony with more than 2,000,000. In the city only a Catholic mission and one little Protestant mission with less than fifty persons—all this land left to Mohammed and the devil. Oh, for one good man to settle here and peg away for Jesus until he is introduced to at least a few. The French have been at Dakar for 300 years, introducing many useful things and many hurtful and damaging things. "It is possible this colony has given more black troops to the allies than all the other parts of the world combined. We saw quite 1,000 take ship from Dakar for some other points on the coast. The colony is represented in Paris by a colored man. France is not ashamed of her black colonies." The Rev. Dr. Jordan also says that he met many noble men and women at Bathurst, In Gambia. The population of Bathurst is 7,000, and in the whole colony of Gambia there are more than 7,000,000 people. There is one Catholic mission, one Anglican and three Methodist missions. A strong Baptist and an African Methodist to inspire these people would be a godsend to this town and colony. There are no societies or lodges save a little Y. M. C. A. organized one year ago. The need of a religion that deals with heart and life is seen everywhere. THE BYSTANDE The Sewing Circle club met at the home of Mrs. Henry Jones on Monday afternoon.

Fat Folks May Now Become Slim Quickly Be Moderate in Your Diet, Breath .. Deeply, and Take Tassco. Fat persons, particularly those from 10 to 30 pounds above normal weight, will be interested to learn that they may easily reduce their weight without starvation diet or tiresome exercise. This can best be done by being moderate in your diet, so that you will not over-tax your assimilative organs, by getting plenty of fresh air, by breathing deeply and by taking tassco four times a day. Tassco may be obtained from any good druggist in 5-grain tablets; take one after each meal and one before retiring at night. They cost little, are absolutely harmless, are pleasant to take and are designed to reduce fatty accumulations in the system wherever located. A few days' treatment should show a noticeable reduction in weight, the flesh should become firm, the skin smooth and the general health improved, in fact your footsteps should even become lighter, your work seem easier and a lighter and more buoyant feeling take possession of your whole being. Every person who is 10 to 20 pounds over normal weight should surely give this treatment a trial. You will probably find that it is just what you need. We highly compliment the people of Buxton for their appreciation and good taste.
