The Iowa athletes representing Iowa colleges placed Saturday in the final tryouts for the United States Olympic team at Cambridge. Sol Butler, Duquesne university colored sprinter and jumper, set a new world's record in the broad jump when he leaped 24 and 8 inches. Butler is sure of a place on the team. George Bretual of Cornell college, Mt. Vernon, placed fourth in the 440-yard dash. The event was won by J. F. Sheen of the United States navy in 49 second flat. Howard Drew, Drake university sprinter, failed to place in the finals. He placed in his trial heat, but couldn't stand the strain in the final dash. Butler's leap of 24 feet inches surpassed by three-fourths of an inch the mark Prinstein made twenty years ago. DREW FAILED TO PLACE. Howard Drew, holder of the world's record failed to place in the meet Saturday. Drew who is an old timer qualified in the semi-finals but only made fifth place in the finals. This however, is remarkable when we consider the length of time in which Drew has participated in such events, the average length of a runner's life being only a few years at most.

Jack Johnson Surrenders to U. S. Marshall enroute to Chicago Report of National Federation C. W. C. Which Met at Tuskegee Inst. Last Week (By Mrs. Laurence C. Jones) A new era has certainly dawned for the Negro race when seventeen Pullman cars brought into the very heart of the southland, Tuskegee institute, seven hundred delegates and visitors to attend the National Federation of Colored Woman's clubs last week. With seven hundred and fifty summer school teachers from all parts of the south who had been invited by Mrs. Booker T. Washington and Major Moton to remain over to the convention, this made the largest meeting of its kind in the history of the federation. The morning and afternoon sessions were held in the spacious auditorium of the new trades building which Tuskegee is erecting at the cost of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The evening sessions were held din th echapel, where it seemed the spirit of the great educator constantly dwelt and made each meeting a most wonderful inspiration to all present. When the convention first assembled, quite a wave of anxiety spread over it on account of the very serious illness of Mrs. Booker T. Washington, who had made it possible for the federation to be there, but the wonderful magnetism and executive ability of the president, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert held perfect sway over the vast audience. Every heart, however was filled with the greatest joy and all fear dispelled when Mrs. Washington finally visited the federation on Wednesday and her gracious presence was felt in our midst. During the federation Mrs. Booker T. Washington entertained the executive board of which Mrs. S. Joe Brown was a member, and also the Missouri delegation with which Mrs. Laurence C. Jones was affiliated. The National Federation of Colored Women's clubs established a one thousand and dollar scholarship fund for Tuskegee by each delegate giving two dollars each, eight hundred and sixty-four dollars of this amount was raised. On Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock the entire delegation led by Major Moton, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert and the executive board held a very sacred and inspired memorial service at the grave of Dr. Booker T. Washington, and at its close placed a very beautiful floral tribute. Mrs. Laurence C. Jones had the pleasure of visiting Prof. Carver's research laboratory and was shown many many wonderful products by Prof. Carver which he has made from the sweet potato, the most interesting of all being a rubber mixture made from this vegetable. Miss Meta Palham of Detroit, Mich., and Mrs. S. Joe Brown brought in the largest sums of money for the Douglas YOUNG ORATOR WINS NEW HAVEN PR*ZE New Haven, Conn.—H. W.

Besides Mosely there were two seniors and two juniors, a senior winning first prize, who also delivered one of Doughlass' addresses. Mosely is the first Negro to enter this contest, therefore he has the distinction of being the first member of the race to win one of the prizes. MONMOUTH, ILL, ITEMS Editor of the Bystander: I do not see how the colored voters are going to be able to stand on the little plank that was given us in the republican platform at the Chicago national convention. Every two and four years the colored voters are given less consideration in the political conventions, but just as long as the colored voters will bunch their votes and cast them solid for the republican party they will never do very much for us. The republican party has been sending the colored man up in the plum tree to shake down the plums for a good many years and when we come down from the tree we have always found the plums gathered up by the republican party. Why not send them up to do the shaking that we may gather up some plums. The republican party has begun showing this good old song to the colored voters. Need Thee Thee Oh, I Need Thee; Every Honest Need Thee," but the colored voter will say in the near future remember in the days when we shook the plums down from the tree thou didst eat the plums and gave us the seeds, depart from me I know you me. Everyone can see how our race is treated when we go after something worth while, see the deal they are pulling off in Ohio with Hon. Harry C. Smith. Let every colored man stand together as a unit if need be to see that right shall prevail.-G. W. Jones. The terrible itching and smarting, incident to certain skin diseases, is almost instantly allayed by applying Chamberlain's Salve, Price 29 cents.

Application for a writ of habeas corpus has been sent in. The writ states that no war law was violated because the United States was not at war at that time. FATHER AND SON IN SAME MEET Howard Drew and His Son in Olympic Tryouts. Springfield, Mass., July 23.—Probably never before in the history of track athletics have father and son participated as successful sprinters the same season. The other day at Springfield, Mass., David Henry Drew, the 12 year old son of Howard P. Drew of Drake university, who competed in the Olympic finals at Cambridge, won a 40-yard dash for boys. Son David won his race as he liked and it was the second time he had ever appeared in competition. Few more consistent and really and truly ten second sprinters ever wore the spiked shoe than his father. Howard Drew, now over 20, finished second to Scholz of Missouri in the 100-yard dash of the midwestern Olympic trials last month and Scholz did even time. Drew was also second in the 220-yard dash, which was won in better than 23 seconds. He made his third attempt to "come back" this season and a glorious attempt it was. Many young men who are credited with very fast time this season did not look so promising at Cambridge as the veteran who six years ago did 100 yards in 109.3-5 and the furlong in 211-5, world's records. His son first entertained track notions last winter when he competed in an indoor meet of the Sunday school league. He raced in the 20-yard dash, but was badly beaten. Today he ranks the best boy spinner of Springfield and under Johnny Burr is expected to win many races before he becomes a voter. The youthful Drew, like his father, is also gifted with broad jumping ability. Like his father he may become a football star. He promises to be more of a baseball celebrity than the old man, for he is now rated one of the best shortstops of local kid ball clubs. lodge at Keokuk, Iowa. Rev.

S.; SURRENDERS AT MEXICAN BORDER San Diego, Cal., July 23.—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion pugilist, crossed the international boundary line from Mexico near here yesterday and was arrested by a deputy United States marshal. Johnson is under sentence in Chicago for violation of the Mann act. Johnson rode in an automobile to the Mexican side of the boundary. He shook hands with several Mexican officials, walked to the American customs house, presented his passports and stepped across the line. His wife was not with him when he surrendered today. It was said here she left Los Angeles several days ago and would join her husband later. Johnson several times expressed his delight at Leing back in the United States. He said he would pay his penalty, if necessary, to start all over again. "I have taken full responsibility and am fit to enter the ring tomorrow," he asserted. "If I get the chance to fight again I promise I will put up a real fight." TABLET RAISED TO CANADIAN NEGROES Toronto, Canada, July 23.—An interesting ceremony which promises to do much for Canadian citizenship was held at the Parliament Buildings yesterday afternoon on the occasion of the unveiling of a memorial tablet in honor of seventeen members of the Second construction battalion, the only colored unit in Canada, who gave up their lives in overseas service. The gathering was held in the main corridors of the buildings, the tablet being erected just outside the legislative chambers, with the prime minister, Hon. E. C. Drury, performing the official unveiling. In addition to the officials, members of the provincial cabinet, Brig. Gen. Williams, G. O. C., of this military district, and Col. Sir Henry Pellatt, there were several hundred members of the colored population present, in addition to many of the parliament buildings officials, who watched the proceedings. In pointing out the importance of the occasion Premier Drury referred to the patrician manner in which the colored men of Canada, joined the Second construction battalion, and afterwards went into the diving line at the front. He felt that they had been willing to make the same sacrifice as the other citizens of Canada, and he believed that by their action they had done much to make the colored people of the country more respected. They had brought honor to their race. The premier pointed out that Canada is open to all citizens whose aim is to do the best they can or the country, regardless of race or creed. He was particularly pleased to perform the unwilling and he trusted that the members of the colored race now in Canada will show the same line referring to the valuable service the Second construction overseas. Gen. Williams spoke along the same line, referring to the valuable service the Second construction battalion was able to perform both behind the lines and at the front. They had shown themselves to be capable troops, and they were ready to assume the same responsibilities as the whites. He felt that, under the circumstances, it was only fitting that their members who had lost their lives should be remembered in some tangible manner.

Report of National Federation C. W. C. Which Met at Tuskegee Inst. Last Week (By Mrs. Laurence C. Jones) A new era has certainly dawned for the Negro race when seventeen Pullman cars brought into the very heart of the southland, Tuskegee Institute, seven hundred delegates and visitors to attend the National Federation of Colored Womans' clubs last week. With seven hundred and fifty summer school teachers from all parts of the south who had been invited by Mrs. Booker T. Washington and Major Moton to remain over to the convention, this made the largest meeting of its kind in the history of the federation. The morning and afternoon sessions were held in the spacious auditorium of the new trades building which Tuskegee is erecting at the cost of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The evening sessions were hel din dh echeap, where it seemed the spirit of the great educator constantly dwelt and made each meeting a most wonderful inspiration to all present. When the convention first assembled, quite a wave of anxiety spread over it on account of the very serious illness of Mrs. Booker T. Washington, who had made it possible for the federation to be there, but the wonderful magnetism and executive ability of the president, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert held perfect sway over the vast audience. Every heart, however was filled with the greatest joy and all fear dispelled when Mrs. Washington finally visited the federation on Wednesday and her gracious presence was felt in our midst. During the federation Mrs. Booker T. Washington entertained the executive board of which Mrs. S. Joe Brown was a member, and also the Missouri delegation with which Mrs. Laurence C. Jones was affiliated. The National Federation of Colored Womens' clubs established a one thousand dollar scholarship fund for Tuskegee by each delegate giving two dollars each, eight hundred and sixty-four dollars of this amount was raised. On Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock the entire delegation led by Major Moton, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert and the executive board held a very sacred and inspired memorial service at the grave of Dr. Booker T. Washington, and at its close placed a very beautiful floral tribute. Mrs. Laurence C. Jones had the pleasure of visiting Prof. Carver's research laboratory and was shown many many wonderful products by Prof. Carver which he has made from the sweet potato, the most interesting of all being a rubber mixture made from this vegetable. Miss Meta Palham of Detroit, Mich., and Mrs. S. Joe Brown brought in the largest sums of money for the Douglas YOUNG ORATOR WINS NEW HAVEN PR'ZE New Haven, Conn.—H. W. Mosely, Jr., a sophomore student in the high school here, was the only colored contestant in the annual oratorical contest of the Theta Sigma fraternity of the high school, held recently in the high school auditorium. He was awarded second prize of $30 in gold, his declaration being Frederick Douglass' "Free Speech in Boston," an address delivered by Douglass in Boston in 1841. Besides Mosely there were two seniors and two juniors, a senior winning first prize, who also delivered one of Douglass' addresses. Mosely is the first Negro to enter this contest, therefore he has the distinction of being the first member of the race to win one of the prizes. MONMOUTH, ILL. ITEMS Editor of the Bystander: I do not see how the colored voters are going to be able to stand on the little plank that was given us in the republican platform at the Chicago national convention. Every two and four years the colored voters are given less consideration in the political conventions, but just as long as the colored voters will bunch their votes and cast them solid for the republican party they will never do very much for us. The republican party has been sending the colored man up in the plum tree to shake down the plums for a good many years and when we come down from the tree we have always found the plums gathered up by the republican party. Why not send them up to do the shaking that we may gather up some plums. The republican party has begun showing this good old song to the colored voters. "I Need Thee Oh, I Need Thee; Every Hour I Need Thee," but the colored voter will say in the near future remember in the days when we shook the plums down from the tree thou didst eat the plums and gave us the seeds, depart from me I know you not. Everyone can see how our race is treated when we go after something worth while, see the deal they are pulling off in Ohio with Hon. Harry C. Smith. Let every colored man stand together as a unit if need be to see that right shall prevail.-G. W. Jones. The terrible itching and smarting, incident to certain skin diseases, is almost instantly allayed by applying Chamberlain's Salve. Price 25 cents.

The grievance committee will take up the matter with the hope of having the station placed in the McCree drug store. The committee also discussed the reported discharge of city hall employees which investigation was turned over to the grievance committee by the public meeting recently held.

Application for a writ of habeas corpus has been sent in. The writ states that no war law was violated because the United States was not at war at that time. FATHER AND SON IN SAME MEET Howard Drew and His Son in Olympic Townts Springfield, Mass., July 23.—Probably never before in the history of track athletics have father and son participated as successful sprinters the same season. The other day at Springfield, Mass., David Henry Drew, the 12-year old son of Howard P. Drew of Drake university, who competed in the Olympic finals at Cambridge, won a 40-yard dash for boys. Son David won his race as he liked and it was the second time he had ever appeared in competition. Few more consistent and really and truly ten second sprinters ever wore the spiked shoe then his father. Howard Drew, now over 30, finished second to Scholz of Missouri in the 100-yard dash of the midwestern Olympic trials last month and Scholz did even time. Drew was also second in the 220-yard dash, which was won in better than 23 seconds. He made his third attempt to "come back" this season and a glorious attemt mpt it was. Many young or men who are credited with very fast time this season did not look so promising at Cambridge as the veteran who six years ago did 100 yards in .09, 3-5 and the furlong in .21 1-5, world's records. His son first entertained track notions last winter when he competed in an indoor meet of the Sunday school league. He raced in the 20-yard dash, but was badly beaten. Today he ranks the best boy spinner of Springfield and under Johnny Burr is expected to win many races before he becomes a voter. The youthful Drew, like his father, is also gifted with broad jumping ability. Like his father he may become more of a baseball celebrity than the old man, for he is now rated one of the best shortstops of local kid ball clubs. leigh at Keokuk, Iowa Rev.

TABLET RAISED TO CANADIAN NEGROES Toronto, Canada, July 23.—An interesting ceremony which promises to do much for Canadian citizenship was held at the Parliament Buildings yesterday afternoon on the occasion of the unveiling of a memorial tablet in honor of seventeen members of the Second construction battalion, the only colored unit in Canada, who gave up their lives in overseas service. The gathering was held in the main corridors of the buildings, the tablet being erected just outside the legislative chambers, with the prime minister, Hon. E. C. Drury, performing the official unveiling. In addition to the officials, members of the provincial cabinet, Brig. Gen. Williams, G. O. C., of this military district, and Col. Sir Henry Pellatt, there were several hundred members of the colored population present, in addition to many of the parliament buildings officials, who watched the proceedings. In pointing out the importance of the occasion Premier Drury referred to the patriotic manner in which the elcored men of Canada, joined the Second construction battalion, and afterwards went into the firing line at the front. He felt that they had been willing to make the same sacrifice as the other citizens of Canada, and he believed that by their action they had done much to make the colored people of the country more respected. They had brought honor to their race. The premier pointed out that Canada is open to all citizens whose aim is to do the best they can eat or the country, regardless of race or creed. He was particularly pleased to perform the unveiling and he trusted that the members of no colored team in Canada will show their line referring to the valuable service the Second construction overseas. Gen. Williams spoke along the same line, referring to the valuable service the Second construction battalion was able to perform both behind the lines and at the front. They had shown themselves to be capable troops, and they were ready to assume the same responsibilities as the whites. He felt that, under the circumstances, it was only fitting that their members who had lost their lives should be remembered in some tangible manner.

There is much to be learned from this quarter's series of lessons as we note the rise of David and the fall of Saul.

Bows and girls starting out in life should be the phase of David's life ever before them. The subject of lesson four is "David Successes Saul as King," H Samuel 2:17: 1:5.

Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1920, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JULY 25 DAVID SUCCEEDS SAUL AS KING. LESSON TEXT—II 5um, 2:1-7; 5:1-5. GOLDEN TEXT—TRUST in the Lord with all thy heart, and lean not upon thine understanding.—Prov. 2.5. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—I Sam. 21: 1-13; I Sam. 1-77; 2-8:41. 14-1. IT SAYS PRIMARY TOPIC—The Shepherd Boy Became a King. JUNIOR TOPIC—How David Became a King. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —The Secret of David's Success. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —True Success and How to Win It. The death of Saul lay open to David the path to the throne. This would have rejoiced the heart of many, but David was sad. Instead of reward be- ing given to the slayer of Saul, quick vengeance was executed upon him. I. David Made King Over Judah (2-14) He knew full well that the Lord by the hand of Samuel had anointed him to be the successor of Saul. He had learned the essential lesson which the School of Providence was designed to teach, namely, that the position now open to him was no easy one to fill. His exile and sufferings gave him self-control. He had the good sense to know that promotion to the throne did but bring "harder duties and multiplied perplexities." He threw himself upon God and asked for guidance. He rendered instant obedience to the Lord's answer. If we are to enjoy God's fellowship and blessing we must quick obedience. He made a right beginning, therefore God prospered him. When he reached Hebron the men of Judah came and anointed him king over them. Thus a part of the nation recognized him as king and ratified the work which Samuel did many years before. When David went up he took with him all who had been with him in exile and suffering. They are now sharers with him in the kingdom. When David's great son, Christ, shall enter upon his glorious reign, those who have been faithful to him in his rejection shall reign with him, if we suffer we shall also reign with him." (II Tim. 2:12); "To him that overmeth will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overmeth, and am set down with my father in his throne." (Rev. 3:21). II. David's Behavior Toward the Men of Jabesh-Gileb (2:1-7). The men of Jabesh owed much to Saul (I Sam, 11), and they showed this recognition of debt by making a daring dash to, rescue his body from the ignominious exposure at Bethlehem. David's act of sending men to Jabesh with a message of good will for their affectionate remembrance of Saul is an exhibition of his noble generosity. His love for the fortunate king survived all the injuries which he suffered at his hands. He forgave and forgot them all. This was an act of political shrewdness as well as a generous one. In fact the only policy which proves effective is that which proceeds from a generous heart. He deftly follows this generous commendation with a solicitude for the men of Jabesh to transfer their loyalty to himself, since he is now their legal king. Since Saul is now dead, he urges them to be valiant for him. In view of the civil war which was to follow he knew it would require valiant men to stand by God's king. This appeal to be valiant is needed now, for we are all called upon to take sides between God's appointed king, Jesus Christ, and Satan, the pretender to the throne. May Christ's appeal result in making us faithful and valiant for him. III. The Dual Kingdom—War Between the House of Saul and the House of David (2:8-4:12). This period of civil war lasted seven and a half years. Most of the tribes of Israel clung to Ishbosheth, Saul's son, whom Abner had proclaimed king at Mahamaim. Feuds continued between the rival generals, David's power increased while that of Ishbosheth's wannied. IV. David Crowned King Over United Israel (5:1-5). Though the struggle for supremacy lasted long and was a bitter one, Abner's death and Ishbosheth's assassination put an end to David's opposition. David's behavior during this time greatly won for him the confidence of the tribes so that they all came to him at Hobron and anointed him as their king. They accepted his divine right to rule (v. 3). The reasons for anointing him their king were: 1. He is their brother (v. 1). This is true of Christ our King. Through the incarnation he has become one with us. 2. He was their true leader in war even in Saul's time (v. 2). 3. He was the Lord's choice (v. 2). Procrastination. Procrastination is helping the devil in retarding righteousness in the world. Remember that of how he summoned his imperial staff and offered a reward to the member who would suggest the best way to destroy a human soul. One said, Convince him there is no God. Another said, Prove there is no immortality and no truth in the Bible. But still another suggested, Convince him that there is no hurry about his carrying out his good resolutions. And the devil gave that one the prize—Bishop Talbot, i tee ere ap cad oe ae OEY BERT a ee os ne ae , Re a 7, ta opertd Wf oidlets are placed Before Oct A Sb oe o9 ey Ce aes Sy ae eal ere Ferrarini a os ~~" CUT RATE DRUG Co.
