Iowa State Bystander

THE BYSTANDER Boost Pay and read The Bystander and father of it. They have added another farm of 160 acres of that rith second bottom land and he was sowing many acres in fall wheat. This school is undoubtedly the best industrial school for colored people in the great Northwest and it is started upon a solid foundation to become one of the strong pillows of education. They have several large buildings recently built, a fine silo, also a very fine barn and many other improvements to this institution. Through an error as to my time in this town several people met at the church one evening earlier than the editor was billed to be here to deliver a lecture. Mr. H. H. Barton, one of the business men here, is the teacher in the public school. He also owns a first class grocery and dry goods store in which his wife runs the store. Mr. Rasco Jackson is still farming about six miles northwest of this town. In fact there are many colored farmers. A few I will name whose farms I visited. H. C. Bruce, who was making molasses with his cane mill, assisted by Ellis Allen, one of the pioneer farmers owning his own good farm, and he has some good looking girls, some are already married. Wm. Pettigrew, Robert Christopher, J. W. F. Tatum, Mrs. M. S. Smalls, Mrs. Julia Moore, Mrs. Ethel Lewis, John L. Finnell and a new man who has recently moved in here from Oklahoma and a fine farm of 260 acres. M. C. Tisdel is also another farmer. Mrs. Amanda Skillman still lives on her place in the out edge of the city, doing well, as is also Mrs. Mary Ewing. Mr. S. F. Shepard is doing well. There is no restaurant, no barber shop, no physician and no drug store. One church, the Baptist, a fine Masonic hall on Main street. Mr. Boone of Keysville, a carpenter-contractor, was building a nice five room house for a colored farmer named Mr. Finnell, so ye editor took another auto drive from here over to Keysville, our next stop, and spent the evening and night at his home. Mr. Boone is the leading colored citizen in Keysville and is highly esteemed. He has a valuable and very helpful wife, whom I have known for many years. They have one daughter, who is one of the teachers here. She has recently married to Dr. Flannery, formerly of Keokuk, Iowa, but now located in Topeka, Kan. Mr. Boone owns an automobile and contracts all over this country. He has a nice home. Mr. and Mrs. M. Christopher have moved from the city out on his 60 acre farm. His father owns a valuable farm, who was in the midst of making molasses with his cane mill. Mr. L. Mann as also a successful farmer here. Mr. J. O. S. Sweatman is still here. L. E. Miller and L. Twyman are doing well. Mrs. L. T. Jackson is a teacher here. There are two churches, the A. M. E. and Baptist, neither doing very much. Mr. John Hart is a farmer here. We next stopped for a few hours at Salsberry. Here we find about 500 colored people, with two teachers. Prof. Bolden of Moberly is the principal. Three churches, the Christian, Baptist and A. M. E. A child is best taught to read in the natural method, by means of objects. His words or short-sentences containing the same words repeated in different connection, are written on the blackboard, and he quickly learns to recognize these and to read at sight, first words in script, then in type. When he is made to copy the blackboard words at each lesson, he learns to read and write both at the same time. American foresters present a very strong argument against our friend, the pussy cat, as being by far the most destructive of animals, wild or tame, of the birds, and every forester considers the birds as the greatest friends of the trees. Without the destruction wrought by the birds on the insect enemies of the trees there would be after a generation no tree left for the insects would multiply fearfully and demolish every growing tree and plant —Grit.

Millions of the oppressed in European coun tries would like to have the rights of free men; the right to govern themselves; the right—to vote. Do you recognize the importance of your citizenship? Are you going to the election, or would you let the government run itself? The courts are the foundation stone of our free institutions. Your liberty and your property rights may be taken away, or made secure by the court's edict. You should not neglect so important a part of our government as the courts.

MEYER Candidate for Re-election for First Full Term JUDGE OF DISTRICT COURT Polk County Judicial Ticket. He is an Iowa man, 36 years of age, has a wife and two small children, and has made such a splendid record on the bench since his appointment as district judge that there is universal expectation of his election for the full term in November. At the time of his appointment he was not a candidate for selection, but the governor offered him the position, knowing full well his competency. There have been times when members of the bench would resign to enter into the practice because of the more lucrative field. Judge Meyer has said that if it is the will of the people he would very much like to stay on the bench, to make there such a record as he believes he can make, and the election in November to the full term is merely a matter of right. When a man has been given a short trial and is making good the American spirit of fair play says, "Give him a chance." That is always true, and knowing the competency of Judge Meyer, coupled with the good American spirit of the voters, we feel assured that he will be elected. EDITOR'S ORSERVATIONS. By John L. Thompson. We are still in Missouri, riding now not on a slow train, but in an automobile. It was in Brunswick that Prof. H. C. Bruce, president of the Bartlett Normal and Industrial Institute of Dalton, Missouri, motored over to Brunswick in company with Prof. Butler, one of the instructors, come over on other business, so happened by chance to come to the home where I was stopping, so their Overland car, being large and roomy, after we all had a fine breakfast with Mrs. Jackson, who is a splendid cook. Her husband is a fisherman by trade, so he went down to Grand River, only a block away, where his lines were setting, and brought in some fine fresh catfish for our breakfast. I need not tell you how that breakfast, with corn bread and everything else good, did really taste that morning. We three were soon motoring to Dalton, a distance of nine miles. We enjoyed this miles of ride through the country, talking about the different farms and its production. You readers see that here was two great farmers, one ye editor, a has been, and ye professor, a hope to be. So you see we were unequally matched. One related his experience and the other his theory, but on reaching this little town of about 500 people, of which 300 are colored, the first town we have been in in this state where the colored population exceeded the white. We found this great country life school, the Bartlett Industrial School, alive and alert, planning and working to make this the greatest Agricultural Country Life School in America, under the efficient management of that ripe scholar, Prof. N.

His fine record as municipal judge entitles him to election as one of the judges of the District Court. He has been impartial and believes in equal justice to rich and poor alike. He has made good and should be endorsed by a big vote at the coming election. In enforcing the law Judge Mershon exercises a broad sympathy with the unfortunate. The Municipal Court under his administration has been a big success. On such a record you ought to vote for him. THE WHOLE STORY. MILLIONS ARE DUMPED IN SOUTH Domination by South Clearly Shown by Appropriations for Cantonments. In passing out the appropriations for army camps and cantonments the Democratic administration gave $490,306,991.34 to sixteen states south of the Mason and Dixon line and only $200,559,222.01 to all the other states. The division of the original appropriations by states was as follows: Alabama $ 61,386,145.36 Arkansas 15,309,752.56 Florida 7,278,201.24 Georgia 28,710,845.86 Kentucky 8,375,239.90 Louisiana 6,240,474.65 Maryland 39,187,441.87 Mississippi 5,544,514.92 New Mexico 4,007,545.86 North Carolina 4,518,761.39 Oklahoma 5,174,646.07 South Carolina 19,045,284.95 Tennessee 76,672,100.00 Texas 32,652,744.11 Virginia and West Virginia 176,103,472.61 Total $490,306,991.34 These original appropriations have recently been increased by over $105,000,000, making a total of approximately $600,000,000 that has been or is being spent by the United States on camps, cantonments and military plants in the South. A cantonment was located at Louisville, Ky., at an initial cost of $8,375,279. This cantonment was located there in spite of the recommendation of two military commissions to the contrary. Army authorities recommended the use of Fort Benjamin Harrison at Indianapolis, where the government already owned ample ground for a cantonment and where there was in existence quarters large enough to accommodate a vast number of troops. Indianapolis was also admirably adapted for the site of a cantonment by reason of its railroad facilities and a belt line. Louisville is the home district of Representative Sherley, Democratic chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Louisville got the $8,375,279 cantonment and Indianapolis, the choice of the military experts, got a $582,000 repair depot. On October 4, last, it was announced that Louisville was to get another cantonment, with an initial appropriation of $20,000,000. This gives Representative Sherley two cantonments in his district involving the ex- for the conservation of paper cuts In this is included subscribers s prior to November, 1917. If pay at once.

California $ 14,980,398.84 Illinois 11,878,150.11 Indiana 582,000.00 Iowa 8,518,975.38 Kansas 11,611,998.31 Massachusetts 11,480,837.87 Michigan 18,165,178.56 Nebraska 549,266.00 New Jersey 51,103,884.79 New York 17,818,965.30 Ohio 36,116,364.04 Pennsylvania 8,893/32.00 Vermont 108,823.13 Washington 8,750,647.68 It will be noted that of the appropriations awarded states north of the Mason and Dixon line, New Jersey obtained over one-fourth of the total. It is a favorite argument of Southern Democrats, in excusing this discrimination, that the splendid climate of the Southern states accounts for the favoritism shown that section of the country. Unfortunately for this argument, the facts do not sustain it. For example, California's climate is quite as noted for its mildness in winter as is the climate of Alabama. California's climate is far more healthful than Alabama's the latter being full of malaria. California received $14,980,398 in appropriations for army camps and other military works. Alabama received $61,386,145, or two-fifths as much as the total appropriations given to northern and western states. California subscribed $358,194,200 to the Second and Third Liberty Loans, or 24 times what the government spent on camps in California. Alabama subscribed only $38,795,350 to those two loans, or less than two-thirds as much as the government had spent in that state. But Alabama is the home of Chairman Dent of the House Committee on Military Affairs. Then there is Texas. It is notorious for its "northers," the worst of blizzards, in winter. In summer it is the hottest state. Its Rio Grande border is a waste of sand. Malaria fever is the plague of every camp in Texas. All told, it has probably the most inhospitable assortment of weather of any state. Yet Texas was handed six army camps, eleven aviation camps, one concentration camp and one repair depot, with total appropriations of $32,652,744.11. These plums were generously passed around so that Waco, Houston, Fort Worth, Dallas, San Antonio and Wichita Falls each got a liberal bite. This is more than the total appropriations for cantonments and other military plans in the states of Massachusetts, Nebraska, Iowa, Indiana and Kansas. It is more than was appropriated for army camps in the two states of Illinois and New York. But, then, Texas is the home of Colonel House, the "unofficial president;" Postmaster General Burleson and Attorney General Gregory. OTTUMWA BRIEFS. Mrs. Carrie Gordon, widow of the late Elder Rev. M. I. Gordon, died Oct. 9, 1018, at the Ottumwa hospital after a long illness. Mrs. Gordon was born May 30, 18160, near Bowling Green, Kentucky, and at the time of her death was fifty-eight years, four months and nine days old. She came with Rev. Gordon to Ottumwa in the fall of 1901 and joined the Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church and became an ardent and faithful worker in the church, and with the exception of a few years has been an enrolled member of the same for nearly seventeen years. Mrs. Gordon has been a patient sufferer for over three years, and has been speechless for over three months, but while unable to speak she has always had a smile for everyone in spite of her intense suffering. Funeral services were held at the undertaking parlors of Mr. C. T. Sullivan, in charge of Rev. E. R. Edwards, interment in the Ottumwa cemetery. Mr. Ovio Gooch has been appointed the delegate of Ottumwa to the National Negro Congress which convenes in New York. Mrs. Oscar Williams was hostess to a dinner in honor of Rev. R. H. Cato and wife. Rev. R. H. Cato and wife left last Wednesday for Bloomington, Ill., Rev. Cato's new charge. Mrs. Mary Robinson has been quite seriously ill for the past two weeks. Mrs. Katherine Wagner and daughters, Mrs. Cora Hennington and Miss Genevieve Wagner, were called from Chicago to the bedside of Mrs. Wagner's mother, Mrs. Mary Robinson. Mrs. Alberta Graham was taken suddenly sick and was taken to the Ottumwa hospital, where she is improving nicely. The Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church parsonage is beginning to take on a bright new appearance after the faithful work of some of the members and the paper-hangers. For the past two weeks all churches, schools and public places have been closed on account of Spanish influenzt. Mr. Graham Bell died at his home Tuesday morning of Spanish influenza. Funeral arrangements haven't as yet been made as no word has been received from his parents in Chicago. There are two hundred and thirty-five reported cases of Flu in Ottumwa, several deaths. Mrs. E. R. Edwards and son Arden and little grandson Orvid, the family of Rev. E. R. Edwards, arrived in the city last week to make Ottumwa their future home. Mrs. A. B. Bolden entertained a few friends Wednesday evening. Mr. Ollie Renfro is home visiting his mother and sister. He will return to Detroit in a few weeks. Mrs. Nellie Terrill of Holliday spent Thursday night the guest of Mrs. Bettie Page. Rev. Cross and wife have returned to Moberly after a pleasant visit in Richmond after conference. Mr. and Mrs. Ertha Pitts have moved to Detroit this week. Mr. Gilmore Cross died in Toledo Saturday. His funeral was held in Huntsville. He is survived by a wife and two small daughters. We extend our sympathies to the bereaved family. Mrs. T. A. Fountain had a visitor of Madison, Sunday. Mrs. C. Bartelett is entertaining friends from Quincy. The War Recreation Board has decided to look after the Girls Club room at the Army Club and have fitted it up with rugs, oak rockers and a wicker cot. This is greatly appreciated by the girls as they had been struggling to fix the rooms up themselves with the help of donations. Now these rooms are furnished comfortably and cozy. The wax of the candelilla plant is used in making candles, phonograph records, wood and leather polishes, floor wax, certain varilashes, lineoleum, rubber compounds and celluloid, and it also enters into use in pharmacy and in the making of electrical insulation. The candelilla plant grows on the poorest quality of soil, and before it was found to have a commercial value for the wax contained it was considered a pest. Ready-Made Ple Crust!

The funeral of Mrs. Chas. Anthony was held Thursday afternoon, Oct. 10, from Bethel A. M. E. Church, Rev. W. W. Williams officiating, assisted by Rey. Bates of the Second Baptist church, and a visiting pastor. The ritualistic service of the Eastern Star was carried out. The bearers of the casket were Messrs. Joe Robinson, Geo. Robinson, Chas. Thompson, Wesley Porter, Holland Williams and Arthur Weatherall. Interment was made in Springdale cemetery. Those from out of the city were Mrs. Jas. Anthony, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Anthony, Boone, and Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Luckey, Chicago. Arrangements are under way for the annual Thanksgiving dinner at Bethel A. M. E. Church. Mrs. Elizabeth Cooper is reported as very much improved. What is the matter with the editor and his observations? He makes Clinton every year, but for some reason for the last year or two we have not been mentioned. Let us hear from you, John, other than collecting times. Clinton, like other cities, is affected by influenza, it being under strict quarantine. Schools, churches, theaters and lodges are closed. In view of this fact, the members are kindly asked to stop at the A. M. E. parsonage and settle their obligations, or lend any assistance possible to assist the pastor's needs. Mrs. Elizabeth Bush of Chicago is a guest at the home of her son, A. A. Bush and family on Eighth avenue. Messrs. John and Jas. Robinson of Chicago-and Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Abrams of Indianapolis, brothers and cousins of Miss Gilla Robinson of Lyons, are guests at her home, and of other relatives in Clinton. More Than Enough Is Too Much. To maintain health, a mature man or woman needs just enough food to repair the waste and supply energy and body heat. The habitual consumption of more food than is necessary for these purposes is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism and disorders of the kidneys. If troubled with indigestion, revise your diet, let reason and not appetite control and take a few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets and you will soon be all right again. Subscribe for the Bystander.

Viola Walker EDITORIALS Tuskegee, Ala., Oct. 19.—The Armstrong-Slater Memorial Trades Building of the Tuskegee Institute was destroyed by fire on Monday night, October 14. The fire was the largest in the history of the Institute, and represented a loss of $100,000. The building was constructed of brick made in the Institute's brick yard and was completed in 1898. In its greatest dimensions, it was 283 by 315 feet and was arranged about the four sides of a central court, with cross wings at each corner. The front and side wings were two stories high. Shops for teaching the following trades were located in this building: Carpentry, wood-turning, printing, tailoring, black-smithing, harness-making, carriage-trimming, wheelwrighting, plumbing, electrical engineering, tinting, painting, shoe-making, machine shop practice, and architectural and machinic drawing. AMONG OUR JUDGES. One of the most efficient, capable and obliging judges on the Polk county bench is Judge Hubert Utterback, who has served on our bench with honor and credit to our county. He is honest, fair and just in all of his decisions and rulings and the voters of Polk county can feel congratulated to be permitted to vote for Judge Utterback on election day in November. Griffiths. The name of Henry H. Griffiths, one of our leading young attorneys, is on the ticket as a non-partisan candidate for Judge of the District Court, as there are five to be elected. Atty Griffiths has practiced in this county 25 years, a citizen of the county 50 years. A good friend of the colored people, as he is an active member of the N. A. A. C. Association and solicits every colored man's vote on election day. Mulvaney. Hon. John T. Mulvaney is one of the candidates for judge of the district court. He has practiced in Des Moines for the past 22 years. A true friend of the colored race, as he has many clients among them and certainly deserves one of their five votes for county judge. He is honest, capable and has the ripe age and experience to make an ideal judge. Enforced Labor. "Providence has no ordered it that a state of rest and function, however it may flatter our indulence, should be productive of many inconveniences; that it should generate such disorders as may force us to have recourse to some labor as a thing absolutely requisite to make us pass our lives with tolerable satisfaction." — Edmund Burke. CHILD EDUCATION "Manners and Home Training. The Importance of Ethical Training in the Home." As the president of our club, Mrs. Harvey Brown, handed me the "Outline Study," I glanced at the word "ethical" and could recall very distinctly Webster's definition of the word "ethical," meaning "moral philosophy," a system of principles and rules of duty, etc. The effects on the individual, the race and the nation will be dealt with in a later study. Abraham Lincoln said of his mother: "All I am and all that I ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother." The world will never know the greatness of its debt to Lincoln's mother, for doing what she could in stamping of her own lofty conception of duty and obligation upon the hearts and consciences of her children, and she called Abraham to her bedside and said to him (and he was only ten years old at the time of her death): "I am going away from you, Abraham, and shall not return. I know that you will be a good boy; that you will be kind to Sarah and your father. I want you to live as I have taught you, and to love your Heavenly Father." In the evening when her work was done she would tell to her children the stories of Abraham, Moses, David, and the Child of Nazareth. Little did this mother know how deeply her lessons of truth and virtue went down into the heart of her listening son; how, in the fullness of time the germs would put forth their tender shoots, how her own spirit reappeared in his and the beauty of her soul glorified his life. We can point to Lincoln and to no other president since his time, who lived and believed that, "Whatsoever we would that men do to you, do ye also unto them," and he believed "that all men were born free and equal," and in the troubled times of his leadership in the congress, stood almost alone on the question of the rights of man. How many mothers must have failed in their duty toward their God, their children and their fellow man, else we could point to more Lincolnas. I can suggest no fixed rule for mothers to follow for there are no two dispositions in the world entirely alike. For instance, "My boy of ten has a strong will and while I constrain him to obey, I encourage the habit of deciding and acting for himself in matters which might be safely left to him. I believe that a strong will, directed upon worthy objects, is a valuable manly quality if properly guided, and try to exercise great care in the study of my child's will. I believe that we should instill into our children's minds that self-reliance, resolute, working, patient purpose, stealthful integrity and truly noble character will enable one of even the humblest rank to work out for themselves an honorable competency and a solid deputation. Even when men are born of wealth and high social position they cannot hire people to do their thinking. The cantonments throughout the country are of inestimable value to our youth and the training and experience are conferring on them a degree which could never be obtained in universities or colleges. My boy's teacher said, "Mrs. Smith, Jack's marks in English are usually higher than the other pupils and how does it happen?" I admitted that I did all I could, not to make him get higher marks in school, but to know and love good literature, and to use the English language in the very best way he can in speaking and writing. My boy loves poetry and he appreciates the charm of its rhythm and sound. It never matters if the poetry we read is sometimes over his head, having to reach helps him grow mentally. James Whitcomb Riley, John G. Whittier, Dunbar, Longfellow, Tennyson and Shakespeare are some of his favorites and he is yet only ten. I believe that we have to ingilt into children's minds a love for real beauty as a first step in education. No child who has been accustomed to hearing beautiful English, for instance, will say, "He done good," or "He ain't got no show," whether he realizes the grammatical error or not. A trained sense of beauty of form will make those mistakes distasteful to him. I am old fashioned enough to to have my boy love and learn the Bible stories. This winter we will take up the Shepherds of Luke and Longfellow's poems about the "Three Kings." It takes lots of work and patience and time to do lots of these things, but I consider my child's ethical training one of the main duties in life, so I find it a very great pleasure too. We mothers must not send our children to battle this hard world without the armor which she alone can buckle upon him. The characteristics which one expects to find in the man and which is the basis from which we begin from childhood, is a scarpulous nistery in money matters, a clean and honest number of living, ca THE BYSTANDER Mrs. A. E. Sidenbenfler, Rockfield, Ind., states: "For an attack of bronchial trouble which usually assails me in the spring I find Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the only thing that gives me relief. After using it for a few days all signs of bronchial trouble disappears." Letter From Lieut. Harry J. Taylor McGuire of the 370th Infantry. In a Dugout Somewhere in France. 8:45 P. M., Oct. 1, 1918. Dearest of Mothers and Dad: I am now under the bursting shells from the big, big guns, not more than one mile from the front line trenches. I am acting as signal officer for the regiment. Mother, you have read I know of bombs bursting in air, but no imagination can conceive just what one sounds like. The noise they make is almost incredible. Thunder cannot be compared with it. They are all sizes and shapes, from the little ones that make a holes perhaps a foot deep, to the gross obus shells that dig a hole large enough to put a five room house in. They screech and whistle, ery and moan like lost souls in torment. The aeroplanes are flying over head dropping bombs and shooting at the boys with machine guns when they see them crossing the prairies. We have had several men wounded and a few killed, but such is the game of war. The boys are certainly doing their stuff. They are tearing into the Bosche like an Oklahoma cyclone. They have caught quite a number of prisoners and material, ammunition and equipment. Their morale is certainly wonderful. They have behaved like old veterans under fire and every man jack of them has done his share towards making the world safe from the mailed fist of barbarism. Our colonel is just tickled to death over the way the boys are doing and the French think that we are the real thing in the line of soldiers. The boys are sleeping in the mud and water in holes in the ground, some of them not three feet deep, going without food and water, and fighting like "veritable devils" when called on and never a whimper or grumble do we hear. It makes one proud to be an officer in such an outfit. I was certainly proud of the manner in which the boys received me. I came from quite a distance back of the lines, where I have been since June instructing recruits in the (gentle) art of warfare up under the flying shrapnel and machine gun bullets in a down pour of rain, in mud up to the hubs of the wagon that carried us on the last lap of our journey, which was made in three stages from a real bed and sheets in an automobile to changing clothes in the woods with a hike of about three miles in the rain and mud, with my pack on my shoulder, to the headquarters of the regiment in a wagon over a road full of shell holes, broken wagons, cannage dead horses, trees with their tops Bronchial Trouble. torn off by the shells and bullets, to crawl in a hole in the ground just big enough for three men, but with seven sleeping in there and glad of a dry place to lie down. This is my second night and there is a battle going on over my head between the aeroplanes and on either side the cannon are roaring like the fiends of hell turned loose. The aeroplanes are buzzing like so many giant bumblebees, but 1,000,000,000 times more dangerous. They dart hither and thither like birds of prey seeking those that they would destroy. Our boys are making history that will live as long as this world shall stand, and to think that they are fighting so bravely and heroically for a nation that has been free for centuries, while we have enjoyed only 50 years of partial freedom. I expect that Father Abraham and John Brown would both turn over in their graves if they but knew what we were doing, for I truly believe we are on the road to real freedom, real recognition, that our pale face brother can hardly ignore us as a race of people after this cruel and seemingly unnecessary war is over, for we are proving worthy foes of one of the so-called cultured races of mankind who have reached the heights of civilized savagery. By every means known to civilization they are seeking to take life which the Almighty God alone is capable of giving, by fire, poisonous gases of many kinds, floods of their making, by steel and iron, by disease and starvation, but they can not win for they are not in the right or on the right side. It is pitiable to see the condition that some of the prisoners that we have taken are in; ragged, louay, dirty, hungry, their spirits broken, their souls crushed by a war mad ruled, they welcome capture and even death is better than the suffering that they have to undergo. They eat like wild beasts instead of like humans when we feed them and some of them tell tales of not having fresh meat for nine months to a year and a half, and I believe them, too. I have not seen the kid brother for some time as he has been away to school, but I understand that he is to rejoin the regiment real soon. I saw a letter that he wrote you dated July 21, telling you that he was going to school. It was published in the Bystander of Des Moines. Also one that Lieut. Rufus B. Jackson wrote his mother. He was sent the paper by S. Joe Brown, who wrote him a letter also. How is your's and dad's health; also Aunt Etta, Earle and the kids? I truly hope that Lady Susan is in the best of health, also Joe and Phillip. Tell them both to write me, as a word from any of you is equal to a good meal sometimes. How is Uncle Jimmie, Aunt Lillian, Mr. and Mrs. Cousins, Mr. and Mrs. McCree, Mrs. Ford, Mrs. Ernest, Mrs. Buekner, Rev. and Mrs. Birt and family, Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher? And, mother, tell them all to pray that we may soon be among them, and give my regards to all who inquire of Lloyd and I from your son in the trenches. P. S. Answer soon, please. "A MESSAGE."

THAT THE colored women of the city of Des Moines are not only willing, but eager and anxious to do their bit in this great struggle for human liberty, has been plainly demonstrated the past few weeks, when the women representing various groups and organizations have met from one to three and four times a week and given from two to six hours each time to the making of sweaters, helmets, hospital and refugee garments, and about two weeks ago when a call was sent out from the Des Moines and Polk County Chapter of the American Red Cross for 20,000 gauze face masks to be worn by the men and workers at Camp Dodge during the prevalence of the Spanish influenza, these loyal women, especially the Red Cross workers, helped to make it possible for the Des Moines Chapter to not only furnish the number called for, but 50,000 instead, which are being used to a splendid advantage. Of this number the women of the Chas. Young Auxiliary made 500. This auxiliary, which was the first one to be organized by our women, is in charge of Mrs. S. Joe Brown, with Mesdames J. A. Wilson and W. Lowry as assistants; Mrs. H. W. Hughes in charge of knitting department; Miss Ada F. Hyde of Junior Department; Mrs. Anna Harris as Secretary, and Mrs. Dora McGuire as Treasurer. This organization with a membership of more than a hundred has made during the past few weeks in addition to the masks, more than 150 refugee garments and a number of helmets and sweaters. The Chas. Young Shop at the Park St. Army Y. in Union Congregational Church, which is modern in its equipment, having four machines, is open every Tuesday and Friday afternoon from 1 to 6 o'clock. A MESSAGE God educated some to preach the gospel, some he sanctified to preach, nevertheless it takes all this to prove him over and over. In 1492 Mr. Columbus proved the world was round. The king and queen of Spain pleaded his cause by sending him on his way to bring glad tidings and good news to America. When God sanctified me he showed me the world round, he showed me the equator line, which was covered pass, nearly, reaching the top of the world with a thick blackness. And at the south of the world God began writing a word until it reached around the whole world and that word was ‘Destruction.’ Since Mr. Columbus died another says the world is the shape of an egg, and so it was. God showed me how man’s wickedness had formed the earth and the prayers of the righteous prevailed against destruction. Read Rom., 10th chapter, 6 and 7 verses. The scriptures say, The righteous which is of faith speaketh on this wise, say not in thine heart who shall ascend into heaven, that is to bring Christ down from above, or who shall descend into the deep? that is to bring, up Christ again from the dead. So beloved the man’s wickedness has led to wars, rumors of wars. The principal base of these wars are dressed in the underground world. The homes of the righteous have been so disturbed by this mean acting, devouring wickedness until God ascended down from heaven, it shaped the world in an egg shape. We are paying but little attention to God’s posse, but the poor Christians and following of God mourn, not because of any wickedness, that are accused of, no, but because of the dark rulers of darkness who strip our visions, our homes, our lives for more wickedness to earn the filthy money. And while God in his agony, let the world stand he sends the Penticostals giving the divers tongues and languages to satisfy the hungry soul to be saved from wrath. He even sent poor me with a card and vision, and he sent my son Peter, condemning sin in spiritual wickedness. Some say how is that? Why because God sanctified me with so many visions and I were not seeking sanctification under an elder of some church. Some say to burst up unity I am a witchcraft. God sent twins to our union and Peter was born through a rail. When he arrived he had been named two years before he was born, and being dead to the world when he arrived he proved mama is dead to fyom, many spiritual wickedness and as I anointed him in Christ Jesus life was restored in him two hours after his birth. We are no Anti-Christ, but proving God and his son. Read Rom., 8th chapter, 3-4 verses. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in likeness of sinful THE BYSTANDER flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. So beloved what more can I do? God has showed and showed he sent me to speak to the Ethiopian for unity and charity of God and the worse is we don't take time to understand, but to condemn. On the card the man who represented U. S. was our President. The man who wrote praise. His name 20 years ago was in unity with the Father and so God gave me St. Luke, 21st chapter, with children to prove it is surely us two that one in unity with our heavenly Father and all mankind in my heart is no dark nor under of craftiness. If I had anything to say I say Lord stand by America. My children, my husband, all are sanctified through the sanctified wife and mother. Read the scripture and see whether I lie or not. But the tempter, the underground woman who sits and who are instructed to craft our sanctified homes, the homes of righteous women, who raise their daughter and son in fear of God. One case I know in San Francisco, a lady raising a nice family, because of the underground world her husband was taken by a witch, dragged to the earth, afterwards returned home, sick, what the fun makers call complicated disease, and soon died, leaving a devoted wife and son to be tortured by up to dates saying your father's wickedness follows you all and so they mourn. That same witch was led to our dear sister Pettie, a saint of God, beguiled her husband. Sister Pettie mourned for her loved one, and still the witches are admired. Why is it we become widows as soon as we do a good work? The underground witches have money, clothes, foods and even our men. What our fathers and mothers have gone through fully pays for their wickedness and we only are held in bondage for the underground mothers teach your son and daughter to pray earnestly to be sanctified against the drives of hell and the underground fences and holes. Sending them away for years unless they are sanctified won't save them. No one has objected to the message God gave me, but because a saint had the message, it was dodged, kicked, and sought by blackmailers and cunning craftiness in order in years to come. Yes God placed me on the ship, Unity and Charity, for his name sake. The winds echoed America to me as I said in some of my articles passed. I will relate this. When L were sanctified God showed me every home with a garden, but had two laundry tubs with some peculiar articles in them covered up on my porch they didn't want me to open. Nevertheless we all had a garden. It's no use saying God hasn't sent me, beloved, but God hasn't sent the underground woman to destroy our homes and his visions. We used to use whiskey for health. In its stead Knox Gelatine is put here instead for a healing dish, as well as a dainty dish. With directions we can have the same success as with distilled liquor. President Wilson is a man who proves Holiness. I say so because I am holy and prove holy, also a large cake of camphor gum sacrified on coals of fire with prayer. Lord give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debt as we forgive our debtors, will prevent disease of any kind from spreading. Why I say this God gave it to me when I were sanctified. I have told people at home in different conversations and that is why they got holiness mixed to burn camphor with torchcraft to sacrifice it to God is holiness. We may not know all, beloved, until we reach the blissful shore, but let's continue to make a holy bridge of safety for one another in hopes of faith, charity. May Almighty God join our hearts, our hands together in joy and peace and walk the beauty of holiness in glad tidings with General Pershing and our united armies over the Rhine and swing them back home again. It has been said if you can salt on his tail why you can catch him. If General Pershing can get close enough to the Kaiser to tell him how scarce salt is and the cooks serve him with a nice flavor. I am sure he will not mind peace. So friends with loans, trust, bonds, liberty, unity, charity, Republicans, Democrats, democracy, etc., and Alwise God's mercy may peace reign. God is love. He has not forgot not one of us. We are so happy over our joining countries. Yes, may I say, to me, they are as the 5th chapter of St. Matt, 9th verse. Blessed are the peace makers for they shall see God. America is just simply with her peace makers, the Garden of Eden, and beloved friend, when the Captain Joseph Lowe shall return to his wife and children, but says, beloved, that will be one time I may "smile." "Remember the Rhine." Mrs. Joseph S. Lowe, 566 Mill St., Chillicothe, Ohio.

Where the Real Danger Lies. A Boston physician has sounded the warning that there is more or less danger in wearing clothes. There may be, but the most danger lies in the path of a man who attempts to trip mercily through this life clad in filtered sunshine and a two days' growth of whiskers. Giving Happiness.

CO. 809 Main Street, South City, Iowa OVER 65,000 women are now actively enrolled as workers in the 700 American Red Cross canteens extending from the most northern point in Canada to the most southern in the United States and from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Together with the canteen kitchens, medical supplies and small transfer hospitals, they comprise the equipment of the Canteen service, primarily organized to stimulate the morale of the soldiers and to let them know that the country is with them and appreciates the sacrifice they are making. It was also organized for the purpose of meeting emergencies which may arise with troops in transit—unavoidable delays, accidents, supplies exhausted, sudden illness or accidents to the men en route. The American Red Cross Canteen Service is one branch of the service which, owing to its nature, requires a certain amount of secrecy. The United States is a tremendous country, with miles of track, and its troops are spread over tremendous areas. Men are sent from their home towns to camps, troops are moved from one camp to another, and they are shipped from camps to embarkation points and sent overseas, but wherever they are they find the American Red Cross has already blazed the trail and is there "on the job." This service, like all efforts in behalf of the soldiers, sailors and marines on duty in the armed service of the United States, both of this country and in Europe, is rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, without distinction. Six hundred negro soldiers were served recently by an American Red Cross canteen at a point in Arkansas. In a press report of the work it was stated: "It will be a long time before the activities of that great organization, the American Red Cross, will perform a better service, or one that gives the good women, both white and colored, more pleasure. They were enlisted colored men coming direct from their farms and homes in Louisiana, going to a strange city and surroundings. They were a timid set when they stepped off the train here like a drove of lest sheep, but there was a far different feeling when they left. The interest shown in them here made new and fighting men out of them. They will take their places in the trenches just like the white soldier, and every time one of them does it he takes the place of your boy or my boy. He's an American soldier, and all honor is due the splendid work of our Canteen women and their colored women helpers." Negro Auxiliaries. Many cities of the South are organizing colored auxiliary canteen committees. The colored canteen in New Orleans is in charge of a very fine colored woman of education and a graduate nurse. The canteen has headquarters on the ground floor of the Pythian Temple, owned entirely by negro capital. It has five large rooms, well equipped for rest and recreation, and to date has entertained every batch of negro selects leaving for cantonments. It is maintained by New Orleans Chapter funds. At some points, notably in Texas, Canteen service is maintained to give refreshments to the aviators at their landing fields. In some of the large railroad yards model canteen buildings AMERICAN RED CROSS CANTEEN WORKERS GIVE THE SAME SERVICE TO NEGRO TROOPS, AS TO WHITE MEN. have been erected, and all troop trains are switched on either side of them that the men may be served quickly and efficiently. Upon the return recently of the national field secretary to the national headquarters of the American Red Cross, after a three months' transcontinental tour of the canteen stations, she presented a list of delightfully varied cooling refreshments served the troops—lists registering ingenuity and thrift in utilizing local resources to make an appetizing and attractive menu for the boys. The prime requisite, of course, in the summer months was something cool, refreshing and perfectly harmless—inexpensive and easy to prepare and serve in large quantities on short notice. Soap and water and towels, while not on the menu exactly, were immensely appreciated, and flowers were a real refreshment. All were enthusiastically received by the men after a hot and dirty trin. Interesting "slidelights" on the Canteen activities the length and breadth of the country find their way into the national headquarters of the American Red Cross and give one a very human insight into the work. In one city where it was known that nineteen nurses were to pass through on the train, en route overseas, twelve canteen workers in uniform boarded the train on its arrival and presented each nurse with a beautiful red rose. They were quite overcome and declared the courtesy was one of the nicest things that had ever happened to them. He Got Ninety! At another canteen station a lone negro was served. He had been in France, had been wounded and was sent home on a furlough to get well. "Yessum," he said, "I was hit in the arm and the knee. And I got so mad when I was hit I grabbed my gun and I sure let her go. Yessum, I smeilied—got ninety of them Germans!" En route to Waynesville hospital, a sergeant with six invalid soldiers applied to the American Red Cross Canteen at a station for a more suitable lunch for the men than could be found in the regular lunch room. Service was given immediately and eggs, fruit, milk, etc., supplied to the men. This is but one of many instances that demonstrate the efficiency of the Canteen service in emergencies. A soldier who had not seen his moth THE BYSTANDER er for years found he was to pass through his "home town" and wrote her to that effect, asking that she meet him at the train. The message did not reach her. Naturally, very much disappointed not to find her at the station, the boy's woe-begone expression attracted the attention of a canteen worker. When she heard his story immediately started out in her car, found the mother, motored her to the station and had the pleasure of witnessing a very happy reunion of mother and son before duty called him oversens. Canteen workers often supply the messages for the "folks back home" that are written on the post cards distributed by the American Red Cross throughout its Canteen service. This is done in cases where the men are unable to write themselves. Recently a distribution of the cards was made to a number of colored troops, and many of the Canteen workers were called upon to do the writing. In commenting upon the incident one of the workers said: "The giving was not all on our part, for when they returned from their exercises through the city the colored men were formed in a hollow square by their Commandant and the 'talent' of the regiment ordered out. The singing was beautiful and the clog dancing entertaining." The colored men were so pleased with their treatment that several of them made speeches, and one spokesman stated that he was going to have the American Red Cross Canteen "writ up" when he got to where he was going. "It was the supper hour, but my committee was at the station at work on ham sandwiches and preparing coffee within twenty minutes after notification of the time of arrival of the troops," says a Canteen captain in a recent report. "When the train arrived my five ladies served nice fresh country ham sandwiches from large trays garnished with lettuce. I had to call in the husbands, as we had only twenty minutes to serve eleven coaches. After serving the sandwiches and coffee we made the second trip around, and each boy aboard received a Red Cross chocolate bar and cigarettes. Every single boy was courteous and orderly, and their appreciation was the sweetest thing I ever saw." "This is swell and helps a fellow a lot," said a big olive-drained boy after partaking of canteen refreshments at Mr. John L. Thompson, editor of the Bystander, was in Hocking Sunday attending to business. Mrs. Amanda Richards and grandchildren, Samantha and Arnold Nickles, visited at the home of Mrs. Mable Robinson Wednesday.

"And if it weren't for one thing I and my chum could come mighty near being happy now." "Tell us about that one thing that makes you unhappy. Maybe we can fix it," smilingly encouraged a charming Canteen worker. "Well, we're broke, and no one can fix that but our dads, and they are 'way up in Washington. We haven't time to wire for extra money—and there you are," said the lad with a wistful smile. "That's easy," said the Canteen girl. "We'll send the wires for you and have the money sent to your next stop." "Hurrah for you!" cried the boys. And as they boarded the out-going train they wore quite a different looking expression from that which they registered just a few minutes before Canteen worker, bearing Cross insignia, is worn on when active duty. The Canteen unit includes a car and second lieutenants, a sirt and a mail clerk. The size teen unit depends largely on quency of the troop through its location. It is that a unit of fifteen women five hundred men. At first both Army officer way men felt that the Canteen was not a necessity, in that ed the provisions of the C and the railroads. But of both Army and railroad se come to acknowledge that it is a unique addition to troopation. At a time when the clergy of travel is scored From the foregoing, which is in reality but a "flash" of the great Canteen service in operation, one receives but the barest outline of the far-reaching effect of this branch of the American Red Cross activities in this country. Workers Take Oath. The American Red Cross furnishes all commanders of troop trains, conductors and railway officials with a Canteen directory, embracing the names of the chapters which have organized Canteen units. Upon being given the briefest possible telegraphic notice these chapters are prepared to render assistance of all kinds to troop; en route. Troop train commanders, having government funds for the purpose, pay the government rate for rations ordered. In cases of accident or sickness occurring on route medical assistance and ambulance service are arranged for if requested in advance. Some of the Canteens, designated as "transfer stations," have immediate ambulance service for transferring sick and wounded service men to hospitals, as well as specially prepared food for sick soldiers in transit. All official American Red Cross Canteen Workers are carefully investigated and enrolled under oath of allegiance, and the woven shield of the ings and places of amusement have been closed by the board of health on account of the Spanish influenza. No cases have been reported here so far. Mrs. Nancy Burns and Mrs. Ollie Vanderver were in Albia on business Monday. Mr. Lewis Dudley has returned home from Missouri, where he was called on account of the illness of his brother. Those on the sick list are Miss Ruth Singleton, Mrs. Minerva Lowery and Mrs. Eva Roper. Mr. Luther Brown is here visiting at the home of his parents, Aev. Brown. The following families entertained Mrs. William Bennings of Fort Dodge while in Albia: Mrs. Moss Johnson, Mrs. Edward Butler, Mrs. Chas. Washington, Mrs. Bessie Grayson, Mrs. G. A. Davis. She visited at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Brown, and son, Walter Canteen worker, bearing the fed Cross insignia. Is worm conspicuously when on active duty. The officers of a Canteen unit includes a captain, first and second lieutenants, a supply clerk and a mail clerk. The size of the Canteen unit depends largely on the frequency of the troop movements through its location. It is estimated that a unit of fifteen women can serve five hundred men. At first both Army officers and railway men felt that the Canteen service was not a necessity, in that it duplicated the provisions of the Government and the railroads. But observers in both Army and railroad service have come to acknowledge that the Canteen is a unique addition to troop transportation. At a time when the whole machinery of travel is geared to an unheard-of speed, it is inevitable that accident and weather should result in unforeseeable delay and discomfort—the prolongation of journeys far beyond their expected time often depletes the troop stores, and the enormous travel on the railroads often limits the available railway supplies. The American Red Cross canteen service assists the officer conducting transportation by giving him an immediate depot of supplies and helps the railroad by feeding the troops in the railroad yard, thus preventing congestion at the station. In one city the president of the railroad ordered a freight car given the American Red Cross. It was equipped with light and gas and placed on a side-track near the railway station. The canteen unit is thus able to keep the coffee hot and have refreshments on hand for the incoming troop trains, and it also serves as a protection to the workers against cold while waiting for the trains. The equipment of an American Red Cross canteen is just exactly what a community decides to make it. Some canteens in the larger centers are highly developed, while others embrace the minimum equipment. All are doing a wonderful work in which it is a pleasure to have a snars. Bennings. No church services, but the pastor, Rev. J. W. Dowden, said his members were rallying to the front and keeping everything moving. Mr. Cornelius Thomas has been very sick again the past week. Mr. Geo. Hull and family have moved to Albia. Mr. Luke Mosely of Hiteman was in Albia this week. Mr. and Mrs. Lucinda Jones and Miss Bernice Jones visited at the home of Mrs. Nora Grayson in Hiteman Sunday.

If troubled with indigestion or sleeplessness you should read what Miss Agnes Turner, Chicago, Ill., has to say "Overwork, irregular meals and carelessness regarding the ordinary rules of health, gradually undermined it until last fall I became a wreck of my former self. I suffered from continual headache, was unable to digest my food which seemed to lay as a dead weight on my stomach. I was very constipated and my complexion became dark, yellow and muddy as I felt. Sleeplessness was added to my misery, and I would awake as tired as when I went to sleep. I heard of Chamberlain's Tablets and found such relief after taking them that I kept up the treatment for nearly two months. They cleaned my stomach, is vigorated my system, and since that time I can eat and sleep in comfort, I am today entirely well."
