A missionary has just brought to this country four children of the Bushmen tribe of Africa. This trade, according to the missionary, wear no clothes and have an exalted opinion of white men, whom they call "Dada." They called the missionary "Big Dada." It is a pity that the whole tribe did not come over. Any group of people that has an exalted opinion of white men deserves a free sight-seeing trip around the world. Of course they would miss the greatest show that the white man ever staged—the spectacle. Would all the delegates who had papers at the A. M. Sunday school convention which convened at Oskaloosa, Iowa, and did not give them to Mrs. Louise Greenup, please send them immediately to her address at 904 Palm street, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.

After closing remarks were made by the Grand Matron Mrs. Brown the guests repaired to the reception room in the church where they were very nicely entertained by Sar of Bethlehem chapter.

Joe Brown, Des Moines. Mrs. Brown, who was nominated for re-election as grand matron declined the nomination announcing that she had served for two years in this capacity during which time had assisted in bringing their membership from less than five hundred to nearly one thousand, and feeling that the growth of any organization was largely due to an incentive along this line together with the fact that she was burdened along many lines, was roreed to decline the nomination. At the conclusion she was presented with a beautiful solid gold emblem of the order. The next session will be held in Burlington, June, 1922, the birthplace of the grand chapter. DADY!" of five hundred million Dadas in a state of war with one another. But they would be in time to see one hundred and five million Dadas still in a state of war even after the war is over. They would also be in time to see two exalted white men slug each other with a million Dadas breathlessly awaiting the outcome. And they could watch the developments of Dada Stillman's exalted affairs, become acquainted with Dada Sims and the Dada reformers and many other Dadas who are contributing to the exaltation of the white man. I would be a great educational trip for them. When they got back to Africa they might perhaps, have an exalted opinion of Bushmen. NEGRO GETS HONORABLE BRITISH MEDAL Washington, D. C., June 30.—To Mr. Charles F. M. Brown has gone the distinction of being the only colored man in the United States to receive the medal of the "Order of the British Empire." Brown for thirty-five years has been attached to the embassy as a messenger and clerical assistant. He has served under nine ambassadors, beginning with Sir Sackville-West, and is very popular. DR.

Indoor activities have all closed and outdoor activities are on the boom. Physical activities The boy's work committee has been busy using the boys together for all activities that may be planned. A report from the chairman of this committee will give this in more detail. Under the direction of the executive secretary and the chairman of the boys committee two hikes have been taken where forty-three boys were given an all day outing at the Y. M. C. A. shack at Camp Byers. We have already twenty-five registered for a hike today at the same place. Baseball games for the various Sunday school have been carried on under the direction and supervision of this branch and its volunteer helpers to the extent that we have entertained in this activity during the past month 232 boys. This, however, does not include the one team that we succeeded in getting into the regular schedule of the Des Moines Athletic association. This team represented the Union Baptist church and crossed bats with thirteen of the leading white Sunday school teams. They won every game save one. Total participation was 144. They were "No bachelor can understand a woman," declared Mrs. Stubkins. "Huh, you don't say so!" replied Stubkins, with a snort.

Out of the number enrolled twenty-one learned to swim fifty feet or more. Others learned to swim some. Total number of swims 242. The chairman of the boy's work committee was on the job each night and rendered valuable help in handling the crowd. Saturday, June 11 was the date of the annual relay meet between the Newton association and the Des Moines association. It was a distance of about thirty-eight miles and each boy ran one-half mile. True to his word Mr. A. Alexander was on the job with his car. We took the boys up gave them dinner and left Newton at 12:55. We ran to Des Moines in three hours and twenty-eight minutes, beating the Newton boys by 22 minutes. Our six boys made splendid records. They varied from 3:25 to $2\frac{1}{2}$ minutes per one-half mile. We hope to have the tennis court in shape by the last of the week. It is now ready except to be rolled and the back stops put up. It was dragged and sand put over last week. The Bible class is still moving on but will be suspended for the summer months. The Sunday afternoon meetings will close for the summer. Report in detail given by the chairman of the committee. When we reflect upon the white of an army that has been sitting around in the refrigerator, apparently waiting to be used up in something, almost ever since we can remember, we think that all this talk about the American housewife reckless extravagance is somewhat exaggerated after all—Columbus (Ohio) State Journal. K.OF P. & G.O.C.

Anderson, a colored leader, is slated for collector of internal revenue at New York City. There is pending in congress a bill, recommended by the treasury department, providing for an increase in the internal revenue collection districts throughout the country from 64 to 74. One of the new districts is to be established in New York, to relieve congestion in the second district, at present presided over by "Big Bill" Edwards. The Second district is the richest one in the country in the amount of tax collected. Senators Wadsworth and Calder are to be recommend the appointment of Frank Bowers as the successor to Edwards when the latter's term expires. The New York senators will also indorse Anderson for the new district in case Congress favorably acts upon the bill increasing the collec districts. Anderson served as collector of internal revenue in the second district under previous republican administrations. GREAT REVIVAL AT MASON CITY, IOWA EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN CLOSES AT MASON CITY, IOWA Two weeks ago the Rev. Jos. W. Harris of Monmouth, Il., arrived in this city ready to strike his first blow against the evils of this community. He then secured the official endorsement of the retail merchant's association and the Chamber of Commerce as a guarantee for the expenses, stretched a big tent, secured the assistance of the community choir at Waterloo, which he organized while there, and brought to Mason City an awakening of a new day in evangelism. Every nationality packed in the tent the second and last week to hear his wonderful liscourses. Miss Esther Boldridge is at the Samaritan hospital and is very ill at the time of this writing. The St. Paul Bell club is sponsering the coming of Dr. J. D. Gregg, president of Wilberforce University who will lecture and give stereocicon views of his five years experience of teaching in Africa.

OF P. & Holds Success KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS AND GRAND COURT OF CALANTHE SIDELIGHTS Like the falling of snowflakes the members and officers of the local lodges showered and welcomed out of town attending guests Tuesday evening at St. Paul church. The chief welcome address was made by the Grand Attorney Hon. Geo. H. Woodson followed by Dr. W. H. Lowery, Sir Harrison Gould and two members of the Order of Calantheans. The grand chancellor in his address said: "The Knights of Pythias are not the biggest nor the largest lodge in the country but, it is the greatest lodge." He went on to say that he had heard that it was being circulated around that the K.

Henry Lincoln Johnson, National Republican committeeman from Georgia, who has been a staunch fighter for the Negro's political rights ever since the present presidential campaign started is now by virtue of appointment the recorder of deeds. It is believed that Johnson is one of the men who have received appointment from republicans that will not desert his people and their needs. There has been a great accusation in the past that most Negro political leaders are job seekers and as soon as they get a position they forget.—Johnson will prove whether this is true or not. MRS. MAUDE M. WILKERSON The above is the likeness of Mrs. Wilkerson, the policewoman of the city of Des Moines, Iowa. The women's department of public safety is growing to be more and more cumbersome and important each day. The chief of detectives and police that that Mrs. Wilkerson is filling her position with dignity. The nature of a policewoman is not to go out and arrest people but to be a kind of a mother and advisor to girls and women who get in the wrong path for the lack of proper teaching. Often they would become sorry of their wrong doings if they had some one to sit down and talk to them in a motherly way—in this manner many things can be handler better than before the police judge in the usual way in which things of that sort is handled. Des Moines has seven men on the police force and one woman. There is also a probability that we may have a Negro detective in the future which will bring our representation in the public safety department to a commendable point. & G. O.

The presentation of Pythian and Damen at the Auditorium Wednesday evening was an outstanding event in this session. Mr. Green, who had charge of this affair is to be congratulated very much upon the splendid way in which the program went out. The characters in the play also seem to know their parts very good and showed some excellent ability along that line. More than three hundred delegates and visitors are here attending this grand lodge. Mrs. Grant McKee, wife of the proprietor of the McKee cafe is visiting chums in Chariton this week.

Gilpin has proven that it pays to "stick to your calling until you succeed." Charlie through difficulties mounted the golden shores of Broadway. We hope Jack Johnson will prove himself manly when released July 7. This has been the season for high school, college and aundiversity commencements, graduates' essays and orations, class honors to whom class honors are due, and words of advice from the successful to those whose success lies just beyond the turn in the road. While the high school, college is not the only one just embarking upon a career of individual and social endeavor, and while a great many of the youth of the land are stepping forth upon the highway of aspiration unhelped by higher educational equipment, the commencement season of the year supplies the occasion for words of advice and encouragement from the doors of things to those who aspire to be doers, regardless of who they are or what their present equipment or opportunities may be. Distinguished men have just been heard in every school with a class of graduates. Among these advisers and encouragers have been the president of the president's cabinet. A line from the commencement address of each of them reavels this interesting symposium: President Harding: "Never was there a time when the call was so insistent to those capable of giving unselfish, broad, comprehending direction to public thought." Vice President oolidge: "There is no progress without industry; mankind is so made that it develops only through effort." Secretary of State Hughes: "The man who does the job well will find opportunities he never dreamed of spreading out before him in ways he never thought possible." Secretary of War Weeks: "The man who reaches the top of the ladder does not get there by performing many tasks fairly well, but by concentrating his intelligence and energies on the task he is best fitted to perform." Attorney General Daugherty: "The conclusion of a collegiate course only fits a man for a practical and beneficial occupation. Keep busy. Do things to a finish." Secretary of the Navy Denby: "To win is fine only when the goal is worthily attained. To be a man—that's success." Postmaster General Hays: "Service is the supreme commitment of life. I can power accomplish what 'we' can do." I can never accomplish what we can. (10) Secretary of the Interior Fall: "One never stops learning till he draws his last breath." Secretary of Labor Davis: "In many a carpenter a true architect waits for his opportunity." for his opportunity. There is logic in the sayings of all these notables. It leaves the one thing before the American Negro and that is more work and less talk counts in solving our social and economical problems. And then again, the trick is to get one blade of grass to grow where none grew before. What has become of that D'Annunzio person whose name used to be on the front page so often? Cheer up! Even for those who cannot get a poet's license there is possible a fishing license. One reason the country is short of homes is that too much money has been put into the cellars. Nowadays when you hear of a puncture you don't know whether it's a tire or a wage adjustment. The man who made $15 to $20 a day by begging, while it lasted, had a better job than working. Milady's latest is artificial eyelashes. She seems to have used up the visible supply of pencils. Nowadays there are many things that are "a darned sight better business than loafin' round a throne." Some men get fringes on the bottoms of their trousers putting fur on the bottoms of their wives' skirts. The prince of Wales may be impulsive, but he does not exhibit it in picking out the next queen of England. The ultimate consumer remains cold, dead cold, to all those precipitous drops of prices in the wholesale field. Fortunate is the amateur who knows which growing things to cut off with the hoe and which to leave growing. Einstein says he sees an end to time and space. This robs the world of all chance of ever understanding his theory. Portugal is broke and wants Uncle—well, there's a sort of understanding around that he is pretty well off and a bit easy. If France rules the air, will it kindly speak to the neighbor on the windward who mixes rubber with his spring bonfire. French farmers also are fighting daylight saving. They have an additional grievance that it makes them work on German time. The farmers are saying that if things don't improve about the only thing that will be run into the ground this season will be their prices. EDITORIALS. (By Robt. D. Durr.)

But do it with Kink-no-more, the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more will straighten the greatest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is apply it on the hair, and with a little combing, the hair becomes straight, not for one day, or one but for two or eight months. Water nor nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelous does it do its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair that Kink-no-more Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure it. It is perfectly soft and glossy. Remembrance of the Kink-no-more is a guarantee to do all that is claimed for it or money refunded. We will send to any office where the Kink-no-more, enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair. When ordering send registered letter, postal address and/or email inducements offered to agents. Write today for special terms. Inclose 2-cent for each address, and send every where. Address Prof. L. F. Sheehan 138 East Tenth Street, Los Angeles, CA. The Home of the Soul In olden times, it was believed that the seat of the soul was the stomach, most likely for the reason that a man is never so completely used up as when his stomach is out of order. For the cure of ordinary stomach troubles, there is nothing quite so prompt and satisfactory as Chamberlain's Tablets. They strengthen the stomach and enable it to perform its functions naturally. Give them a trial. They only cost a quarter. FITS I want every man, woman and child who suffers with Pita, Endopep or Falling Dickness, to send me the bottle of my famous treatment BEDO.

The pain may be relieved by applying Chamberlain's Liniment, which makes sleep and rest possible, and that certainly means a great deal to any one afflicted with rheumatism. Recommends Chamberlain's Tablets. "Chamberlain's Tablets have been used by my husband and myself off and on for the past five years. When my husband goes away from home he always takes a bottle of them along with him. Whenever I have that heavy feeling after eating, or feel dull and played out, I take one or two of Chamberlain's Tablets and they fix me up fine," writes Mrs. Newton Vreeland, Minoa, N. Y.
