GROUND HOG CHOPS WILL BE ON THE MARKET IN SIX WEEKS KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS $1 50 DO YOU WANT A NICE HOME? A CHANCE OF A LIFETIME TO SE CURE A HOME WHICH WILL PAY FOR. ITSELF—WHAT IS FINER THAN A NICE SU- The high cost of living has set many of our people to thinking as to what might be the best and surest thing to do to place themselves in a position that would better their condition for the present and all time to come. Thero can only be seen at this time which has been an open book to the Negro, low these many years and that is either get a small farm, truck patch or chicken garden. You can't loss and a good living is always assured. The city man with a family can't make it in this period from 200 to 400 per cent of advance prices of most every article he absolutely has to have. The only man who can possibly meet his obligations and take care of his family decently is the man whose salary has been raised to equal the advanced prices of commodities and when it comes to that only a very small per cent of Negro laborers have been recognized in advanced salaries. HERE IS A CHANCE FOR A FEW Many of us know of the Potato King Mr. J. G. Groves, who just lives outside you might say, of the city limits in the Kaw valley. A man who has hundreds of acres of land and one of us. Mr. Groves last year took several hundred acres of his fine farm and put it on the market to his people offering from 1 to 20 acres on the easy payment plan and not to his surprise many from this city and the Missouri side took hold of his offer and purchased many acres. They built homes and raised crops last year and others are preparing to build this spring. Some work in the city and go morning and evening on the interurban and at the same time raise plenty to keep the family. Mr. Groves was met a few days ago on the avenue and was asked if he had disposed of all the ground he platted out for sale last year and he stated he had some left but not a great deal and he did not expect to have any left by the first of April, and he further stated some very choice tracts were yet open for his people and as soon as the weather opened up a little there would be no doubt that all he had left would be taken. Mr. Groves lives just this side of Edwardsville on the Bonner Springs interurban line, the car stopping nearly in front of his large palatial country residence. It is a great place to live with every convenience to both cities. His postoffice is Edwardsville, Eas., if one wishes to get in communication with him or he can be reached by phone. MR. HOOKS PASSES AWAY. Mr. Hooks, of Oklahoma, who took sick while here visiting his daughter, Mrs. McNair, and family for the holidays, departed this life at the home of his daughter at the corner of Freeman and Tenth street Monday and the funeral was held from the Ninth Street M. E. church Tuesday afternoon. Rev. McMorris officiated. The widow and family have the sincere sympathy of their friends, including The Advocate, in their sad hour of sorrow. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH, K. C., MO. Nearly 2,000, women were present at the last meeting for women on that side Sunday at 3 p. m., and listened to the sermon on "Vice" by Rev. D. A. Holmes. It was full of great truths. Mrs. M. C. Matthews read a resolution and petition asking that the Autumn Leaf Club be, discontinued. It was adopted unanimously and endorsed by these women and by 600 men. The Union Revival in Kansas City, Mo., cause about 500 to accept Christ and netted about $500. 15 BELOW ZERO FRIDAY MORNING Groundhog morning brought the coldest February that has been seen in Kansas City, Kansas, for many a year. The thermometer registered early in the morning fifteen degrees below zero. Water pipes burst all over town and the plumbers are having a big harvest. The gas supply was entirely exhausted and many families suffered intensely on account of the sudden drop. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH—MANY JOIN CHURCH SUNDAY. The services Sunday morning was of a high order and the auditorium was packed with church goers with a large number of strangers present Dr. Ramson preached a wonderful serenon and, at the close of his appeal to those who were living out of the kingdom of God, hardly a dry eye could be seen in the large audience. Quite a number came forward and joined the church both morning and evening. It was a beautiful sight to see young men and women rise from their seats and say for their first time God being my helper I here change my course in life. The lambs are young and tender and a most watchful care should be over them. Dr. McDonald, editor of the Western Christian Recorder, preached a soul-stirring sermon at the evening service to an attentive and appreciative audience. The choir music was above the average with Major N. Clark Smith at its helm. A goodly number of strangers wore in attendance, both morning and evening, which is not unusual. Several of those who joined Sunday were from southern churches who have immigrated here in the last few months and they always find a welcome home at the church of their choice. The Sabbath school under the superintendency of Mr. Truman is increasing every Sabbath. Also are the two endeavor societies with Miss May McClelland, president of the junior and Roy Garvin, president of the senior endeavor. Splendid programs are rendered every Sunday evening; junior at 5:30 and senior at 6:30. All are welcome to any or all of these means of Grace. METROPOLITAN CHURCH Sunday 11 a. m. service as usual was very largely attended. The pastor preached from 2nd Corinthians 5:17. Theme, "How I May Know I Am a Christian." At 8 p. m. he preached from Luke, 16th chapter. His sermons were full of the Holy Spirit. He baptized five at this service and 6 joined. Monday evening, January 29, Dr. J. D. Bailey delivered his first sermon on this side for the union revival at Metropolitan Temple. Nearly 2,000 people were packed into the auditorium. He preached from Acts, 2nd. "The Ascent of Jesus and the Descent of the Holy Ghost." He let God's spirit use him and inspired the vast audience so that many rejoiced and many came forward to accept Christ. He and Rev. D. A. Holmes, Rev. J. R. Richardson and Rev. C. C. Calaway and some more can be called the "Billy Sundays" of our race. Monday afternoon, the great theologian, Dr. Munroe, of Calvary Baptist church preached at this revival. Our people say "he is one of the most profound religious preachers of this century." He will lecture and preach every afternoon. Sunday, February 4th, Dr. Bailey, the evangelist, will preach a special sermon at 3 p. m. to women and men. Everybody invited, sinners especially. Mr. S. H. Randolph desires to state again "that it is very essential that those having $2 cards, be ready to report by the second Sunday in February. Reception to be given them about the middle of February with a musical-literary concert. MRS. JENKINS' FATHER DIES. Mrs. Gertrude Jenkins of Quindaro barred her father, Mr. Clark, Tuesday at Pleasant Hill, Mo., where he died Sunday after a long spell of sickness. Mr. Clark had been one of the town's prominent and useful citizens for many years and was looked upon by both white and colored as a man of much worth to the city's affairs and his loss to the community will be keepy, felt. He leaves a devoted wife, the one daughter, Mrs. Jenkins, several sons and quite a number of grand children; also a host of friends who regret with hearts of sorrow in this sad bereavement to the family. The Advocate extends to the wife, family and relatives, its sincere sympathy in their hour of affliction. Rev. Albert Brown is conducting a revival meeting at Leavenworth. He opened his meetings last Sunday and he reports a very favorable success in attending their efforts. Stop that bad cold. Smith's Vin and Vigor Cold Tablets will do it. Price 25 cents. 18th and Tracy, K. C. Mo. And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 2, 1917. SUMNER HIGH NOTES The English V classes are now studying the classic Richard III. They find Richard a very peculiar and delightful character, and are anxious to reach that point in the play when he reaps what he has sown. Several students have been praising the speech made by Miss Anderson, the 19-year-old high school girl of Los Angeles, the report of which appeared in last week's Advocate. The remarkable thing about it is that a colored girl could get up before a class of white pupils and make such a spirited defense of her own race. Every person who cares anything for his race should read this speech. The Manual Training classes have just completed a review of all the different joints used in woodwork. It was surprising to note that as many as 15 cr 20 different joints had been mastered. We should guard our conduct on the street cars and in public places, as it is in these places that the public gets its impression of us and of our institution. The enrollment has reached 300, the highest it has ever reached. Miss Harpole, a member of the senior class, conducted the current events at the assembly on January 31. Following the current events the freshman class rendered a program. The first number was an instrumental solo by Miss Jones. This was followed by the rendition of "When Malinda sings," by Miss Rachel Holts, which the students applauded heartily.. The next number was a short one scene play titled "Woman's Rights." The program was ended by another one scene play titled "Andy Mandy in the Postoffice." This scene was very comical. There is one time of day especially when the boys envy the girls of the cooking classes; that time is at the lunch period, when the girls may be seen munching puddings, sauces, cakes and other dainties, while the boys are around eating dry buns and sandwiches. At the assembly on January 24 Prof. Hodge emphasized the fact that the churches are becoming modernized, inasmuch as they, as well as other institutions, are beginning to advertise Prof. Curry's Caesar classes are now studying the last part of Caesar's third oration against Cataline. They find the laws of that time quite interesting. Mr. Lee of Kansas City, Mo. was a visitor at the school on January 31. Mr. Edward Lewis, Sr., the father of Edward Lewis, Jr., visited the classes of his son one day last week. Mrs. Coldwell, matron, has returned after a brief period of illness. On December 22 the Patrons' club of Lewis school in Argentine unveiled a life size picture of Prof. J. J. Lewis, from whom the school was named. Prof. Lewis was present and gave a very interesting address. The assembly on February 7 will be at 1:30, at which time the Western University Glee club will appear on the program. Did you hear about it? Well, if you didn't you will see it in the paper next week. J. B. BROWN ANNOUNCES FOR PARK COMMISSIONER J. B. Brown, one of the city's well known real estate dealers and, who run nose and nose with the nominee in the primary for sheriff last fall with a large field and was only beaten out by a few votes, makes his announcement for the office of commissioners of parks at the coming primary March the 26th. Mr. Brown needs no introduction to the citizens of Kansas City, Kansas, and as to his fitness, honesty and fairness no one can question. Mr. Brown is conceded by friend or foe if he has any of the latter, as one of the strongest candidates announced for this office and it would not be surprising in the least to the citizens of Kansas City, Kansas, to see him nominated and elected. Mr. Daudridge, 252 North Still street who has been confined to his home for some time with illness has recovered and, taken up, his duties again, with the railroad company that he has been identified with, so long. His many warm friends of the company and city are much pleased in seeing him able to be out again. (By Mervin Harris.) The rally at the C. M. E. church Sunday, January 28, was a success. The pastor was in his place in the morning. At 3 p. m. Rev. R. C. Runyon of the A. M. E. church preached at 8 p. m. Editor M. B. Brook, of the Hutchinson Blade, preached a real spiritual sermon. We are always glad to hear this man of God talk. The collection for the day was $71.25. Rev. Allen is now holding his revival at the Second Baptist church. The meetings are being well attended and a number of seekers are at the alter each night. Father Hays who was taken ill two weeks ago, is now able to be up again. Mrs. Blanch Tyler is spending a few days visiting relatives and friends in St. John, Kansas. Mr. Brooks, our ex-policeman, is on the sick list at this writing. We are glad to see Mrs. Maud McClap able to be out again, after six weeks of illness. Dr. Levl J. Newsome was called to St. Johns this week to attend Mr. Charles Martin, who is very ill at this time. Apart from having modern homes a number of Hutchinson people have good cars. We are glad to see Mr. Mr. William Owens and Mr. John Thomas out in their new cars. Miss Marie Warne returned this week from a three weeks' visit in Pittsburgh, Kansas. Mother Brown, who was go ill a few weeks ago is now able to be up and about her home again. GREAT FALLS DAILY SPEAKS HIGHLY OF A FORMER KANSAN. This week brought to our office an issue of the leading daily of Great Falls, Mont. In it we noticed a column write-up with a late picture of Itev. G. E. Horsey who was a successful M. D. of this city for several years. The doctor went into the ministry last September and was assigned to the A. M. E. church of the Puget Sound Conference in the city mentioned. The article speaks in flowing words of the great work being accomplished through our friend and former citizen, and that the people of all races of the city are rallying to the success of the only colored devine in their midst. This write-up spoke of the new church being enclosed, which when completed, will cost more than $6,000 and in so many words stated the white citizens were going to see that Rev. Horsey had the means to pay for it when finished. The doctor's many friends here and elsewhere congratulate and wish him and his family success. January 28, 1917, the Citizens' Forum met at Metropolitan Temple on this data with President Buster on time as usual. A very large audience was present to witness the program by the junior executive committee. The most important feature was Prof. J. R. Lee's address to the young people. Other features were: Violin solo by Mary Adams; vocal solo, Miss Lelia Jackson, which was encored; piano solo by Miss Louise Thompson. When the Forum meets again Mrs. Dwiggins and Mr. Geo. Williams will have a fine program arranged. The Bible Brigade for alums is still doing great work. They are led by Mesdames M. C. Matthews, G. Meeks and H. Miller, of the Metropolitan and Mrs. Garrison and Mrs. Fitchon of Eighth Street Baptist. The first three visited gave out tracts, and invited about 30 to Christ. Also went with the other ladies this week to two pool halls on Minnesota, two barber shops read, sang and prayed and invited about 30 more to Christ. They report to Dr. Earle, of the Calvary Baptist church (of white people) Kansas City, Mo. He gives fine theological lectures at Metropolitan, every afternoon. All are invited. The Advocate was in receipt this week of a post card from Miss Margaret Goins stating she had arrived at Paget, West Bermuda, where she is pleasantly domiciled at Bloomfield Dunglow. HUTCHINSON, KANS. DOING THINGS FORUM. BIBLE BRIGADE. A mere boy, twenty-two years of life. According to the psalmist, he was due forty-eight years more. Cut down through "horse-play" or "joring." A boy drumming, on a musical instrument called into eternity. Young men ought to stop razor play, knife play, rock play, in fact all sort of rough play. There may be and often is the friendliest feeling back of all the roughness. Life is too precious to take chances. There is very little real need to carry a gun. W. J. Bryan: "As the pistol toting man is a menace to the peace of community, so the pistol-tooting nation is a menace to the peace of the world." BIBLE CLASS. The Neighborhood Bible class, co all churches, met at the Y. W. G. A. with Mrs. C. Davis' mother. Paul' Epistles-were read and gave spiritual food. The class will meet again Week day, February 7, at Attorney and Mrs. D. Green's, 1407 North Eighth St at 7 p. m. They adjourned at 8 and attended the Union Revival. Ala are invited. Bring sinners.—Mrs. M. C. Matthews, leader; May McLelland secretary.

E NO.23 PREPARE A MEAL FOR ALL THE FAMILY When the housewife or cook arranges for her daily meals for the family she does not prepare only for three when there are six to eat, but the prepares for all the family whether it is in small or in abundance. We might ask the question, what would be the consequences if only a part of this household was provided for? One would readily see there would be trouble and could you expect anything else when all had an equal right to share in what they had helped to create? No, now this little bit of philosophy ought to stand good in our municipal government or in fact any other of our land, but as we will soon select a chief executive to manage and govern the great family of Kansas City, Kansas, it would not be out of order or out of good judgment on the part of the sons and daughters who have this father to select to know they are choosing as the head of the family for the next two years one whose love is so great for all humanity that there will never be a time in his administration, but what he can say in the open with that welcome assurance, "Prepare a meal for all the family." ACT WITHOUT REASON WHAT SHALL BE DONE TO SAVE US, IF, INDEED, WE CAN BE SAVED? It appears, almost exclusively; that the general run of people act without reason. This comes about largely, by reason of the circumstances in which we find ourselves;—that is to say, We are living under a system of rules and regulations, that make up what we call a Civilization;—that forces us along lines of action; that are wholly contrary to reason and common sense. And this has been the lot of mankind, in all ages of what we call, civilization. And the greatest question of this age is,— What shall be done to save us? And closely following and of equal importance are others toit: To Whom Shall We Appeal?—How shall we proceed? I am inclined to agree that there is ground for Hope in our Ministers, Preachers of the Truth,—Real men of God,—if they will but see our case in the proper light. I do not mean to say that there is much, or even any, hope in the connecting one's self with a church; or even, as it is sometime put,—"Getting religion"—the general run of men have been doing these things through all the ages;—and still the Christ said to the most prominent of that class;—"O, ye generation of vipers, who hath warmed you, etc." Which clearly shows that such conduct of itself, cuts but little figure, in the matter of right living and justice among men. But there is a vast difference between "Getting Religion" and being a Christ-ian. The first,—you get. And in most cases, it is gotten to order, and as the procurer desires it. It is generally a changeable commodity, and is used for convenience. While to be CHRIST-IAN,—is to be imbued, and controlled by the spirit of the Christ. In such instances, we are actuated and controlled in every act and deed, in thought and purpose, by the teachings of the Christ; rather than by Religion, which has been gotten to suit our purpose. In the first instance—you have a man in, and connected with the Church;—in the second, you have a follower of the Christ—a Christian. As I said, I believe there is some hope, through the channel of such ministers of the Great Reformer, and hereafter shall make some suggestions as to adopting his ideas of the Economics of life. I believe from such a course some good may come, or at least, no harm will follow. Notice: You must register before March the 15th on your cannot vote everybody has not to register this year.

Calaway of Kansas City, Mo., preached to the multitude at the Union Revival in Kansas City, Kansas, from Gal. 6:10. He is certainly a power in God's service. In two nights about twenty have accepted and twenty or more have come for prayer. Mr. Wm. Lake and wife have concluded to locate here and will be here after at their father's, Mr. Andrew Lake, at.935 Washington boulevard. Mr. Robines, of B. C., Canada, is visiting Mrs. J. W.

THEY SAY The Union Revival is doing great good in Greater Karras City. The resolution against vice, read by the leader of the Bible Brigade for slums, received an ovation of applause in an audience of about 2,000 in Kansas City, Mo. Standing room is at a premium at the great Union Revival at Metropolitan church. That all sinners should attend and accept Christ. It used to be that a certain race would make fun of gestures, etc., like Billy Sunday makes, but many of our ministers always did let the Spirit move them and since "Billy" did the same, that race doesn't make as much light of our people who were first to let God's Spirit use them. The devil's greatest instruments are wine, cards, dice, dancing, policy playing, lying, covetousness (jealousy), stealing, swearing and licentiousness. Accept Christ, beware of all sin, and thou shalt have "Eternal Life." The order thus far at the revival is good. It takes the old but sensible songs by the congregation and choir to inspire both saint and sinner, such as "I Was a Wandering Sheep," "Nearer My God," "Where'er He Leads," "He's the One," "Since Jesus Came Into My Heart," "Rest for the Weary," "Why Not," "Almost Persuaded," "Go Spread the Tidings," etc. Mr. P. Younger is doing fine work against the evil doings of our race. We, who like right, are pleased with him and are praying for him. The address of Miss Myrtle Anderson, of Los Angeles, in reply to the white young man in her class was full of real facts; and was made in a most intelligent manner. She forgot to speak about a "degencrate" of that young man's race, who is now to be tried for an assault on an 18-year-old boy of his race and who is said to have ruined girls and is also a murderer. ST. JOHN. KANSAS. The weather is fine here. Mr. Charley Martin is very ill at this writing. Mr. Robert Bowen came up from Hutchinson Friday on business.

All former members are invited to come out next Friday and go in as charter members; Under the re-organization there will be no restriction as to age, though the club has wisely embodied a clause in the constitution which provides that no person under 18 may hold membership if objections of parents be made known. The club will not be governed by the ordinance regulating public dances, but by its own rules and bylaws which are strict enough to suit the most exacting, and which will be rigidly enforced. The club is to be congratulated on retaining the services of Mr. Tilford Davis, Sr., who has done so much in the past four years to make correct and respectable dancing popular among our people. We are informed that the fee for charter members is 25c and that all wraps will be checked free of charge with no tips expected or allowed. In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas.

Initiative of Duke of Sutherland May Be Followed by Other Large Landowners. The titles of the British nobility to their great landed estates rest largely upon military service performed by their ancestors. Such a title always has been good in England, and will be better now that one of the greatest land-owning nobles in the kingdom has attested his belief that British soldiers now fighting for their country are winning an equal claim to a share of the land, the Kansas City Star observes. The duke of Sutherland owns 1,353,600 acres of the soil of England. Personally he did not win any of it by the sword, but his ancestors helped their sovereigns subdue Scotland and his house has not wanted for elbow room since. The duke has now conveyed back to the government the absolute title of 12,000 acres of this land and has stipulated that it shall be cut up into small farms and bestowed upon British soldiers and sailors after the war. The duke evidently takes the view that their right to it is just as good as was that of his ancestors, who won it by the same means. Here is perhaps a solution of the land problem in England. Back in the days of the Henrys and the Edwards a man who stood near to the king and was brisk with the sword could easily win for himself a good landed estate. Having won it, he hastened to fence it in and put up signs warning less fortunate persons off. The result is that England is pretty well fenced in today—and Englishmen pretty well fenced out. But after the war, when a couple of million Englishmen come home, having performed exactly the same service that the ancestors of the owners of the fenced-in land performed, why should there not be the same recognition of such service? Indeed, when Mr. Tennant, secretary for Scotland, announced the duke's purpose in the house of commons a member asked the right honourable gentleman if he could get other landlords to follow the duke's example. To which Mr. Tennant replied that he then and there extended a hearty invitation to other landlords to do likewise. (Hear, hear.) Where All Places Meet The giant log hotel at Glacier Park was Indian tepees, Alaskan totem poles, Japanese lanterns, Turkish baths, and an Alpine-clad set of waltresses. A solitary Jap with a ramshackle 'rickshaw meets the trains. The hotel is like the railway, for it is as international as the meat sauce I had in Spokane, which is called International because, with a spoonful of that on the tongue of a man, no one nation can hold him. Without leaving the train one can go to Inverness or Ayr, Carlisle or Riga. Devil's Lake is near Church's Ferry, and from Karlsruhe to Genoa is only 19 miles. Calais and Glasgow, Madras and Zurich are all possible in a few hours, and a stop at Havre (pronounced Have'er) is made on the way to Bombay. Bremen and Hamburg are vis-a-vis, but it seems discordant soon after to slide into Norfolk. Concentration is the keynote all along the line. A single day at Glacier is the experience of a lifetime.—The Christian Herald. What Monarchs Like to Eat. Good old roast beef is the most favorite dish of the queen of Holland. She is also partial to mutton. The czar of Russia has a great fondness for all kinds of fish, especially codfish, seasoned with oil, pepper and garlic. He once remarked to a late president of France that he could "eat codlings twice a day." The kings of Italy and Spain both have weaknesses for sweets, such as whipped cream, chocolate and tarts. King Victor Emmanuel is also fond of the Italian national dish, called polenta. This is a kind of meal porridge. The late pope considered polenta to be his favorite dish. He was an exceedingly plain eater. The remarkably aged emperor of Austria has a craving for the peculiar dish of calves' tongues in red wine. The German emperor is exceptionally susceptible to the temptation of well-buttered toast. To Classify Fruits The internal structure of fruits is likely to give a useful means of classifying the various kinds, and may prove of value in showing the relationship of varieties. In its novel, experiments, Prof. M. J. Kraus of the Oregon Agricultural college, has cut thin sections from the center of mature specimens of various apples and pears. The sections were first dehydrated with alcohol, and were then soaked in a mixture of xylol and cedar oil. They became beautifully transparent. The vascular system stood out distinctly, and in many fine photographs has seemed to be always the same for any one kind of fruit, regardless of the place of growth, but his differed much in the different varieties. The structural differences are very striking in both the flesh and the core of the fruits that were brought under observation. Gligantic Coalship. The largest coalship in the world—the Milazzo—recently docked in New York. She was designed by an Italian, Capt. Emillo Menada, who has earned a reputation for himself as an inventor of transporting machinery. The Milazzo can hold 14,000 long tons of coal and 4,500 tons of oil. She is a portable storehouse of intricate machinery. Coal cars run on tracks in her vast interior—Popular Science Monthly. QUINDARO, KANSAS.

Nickerson the pastor of the Church of God, Eleventh and Freeman, has returned to his pastorate again and will welcome his followers and friends to their house of worship at the stated hours of service. The Pastor-Evangelist has just returned from Lincoln Neh., where he conducted an evangelistic campaign which resulted in victory for Israel. The evangelist reports a fierce conflict with the powers of darkness, the card-playing, dancing, show-going element in the church constitutes the greatest menace to the church of today. The need of the church is an evangelical ministry that will cry out against sin of every kind and enforce the church law against evil-doers whose bad examples are conducive to the spiritual impairment of the young people in the churches. Amusements that are legitimate and elevating are to be commended but card-playing, dancing and show-going deserve the severest condemnation. Services as follows: Sunday, preaching at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. Tuesday, Pentecostal service, 7:30 p. m. Thursday, Bible Study, 7:30 p. m. Fourth Sunday, Communion. Mr. Matt. Carroll was in this week from San Francisco. First American M. D. The first native of English-speaking America to receive the degree of Doctor of Medicine was William Bull, who died in London just a century and a quarter ago. He was born in South Carolina in 1710, and in his young manhood went to Europe to study medicine, receiving his M. D. degree at Leyren. He practiced his profession with considerable success in his native colony, and in 1746 became lieutenant governor of South Carolina, a position he retained until the revolution. Remaining loyal to the crown, in 1782 he accompanied the British troops to England, where he resided during the remainder of his life. Lawrence Bohum was the first physician In the English Colonies of America, arriving in 1610, and holding the position of physician general of the colony of Virginia for one year. His successor, John Pot, was the first permanent resident physician in the colonies. Facts About the Eye. There are any number of different nerves and muscles which must work in harmony, or vision will be defective. The great switchboard controlling all these motions must act immediately, making the proper connections between the brain which is calling for a number, and the many wires which have to act to connect all of the nerves and muscles which must focus the eye upon the object to be seen. The eyeball must be turned in the proper direction, so that the light strikes the pupil properly and the pupil itself must expand or contract according to the distance of the object, in order to see it clearly. Centipedes and Scorpions Centipedes and scorpions are occasionally found on the desert by turning over large stones or poking into a mass of rotting wood. They may be seen also in old adobe houses around chimneys and fireplaces. The fond relative at home imagines venomous creatures wriggling all over the landscape, but it is not so in reality. Moreover, their sting is not so deadly as to cause one to be singled out as a hero for having been bitten. Unless one's blood is in very bad condition it causes little more inconvenience than a bee sting.

Search of the Air Watches Next of Business Partner While the Latter Catches Food for Both Everybody who summers on the Jersey, coast has seen the fish hawk at work, though of late years the number of such birds seems to be decreasing. The negroes down in Charles county, Maryland, in that faraway region of Rock Point on the lower Potomac where the river broadens out like a sea and where the fish hawk is common, have a story about it and the eagle which is interesting. While the fish hawk, or osprey, dives into the water for its food, which consists of fish and eels, the eagle is a "lanul-lubber" and would starve if he had to undertake to make a livelihood by braving the watery depths. The story, that has its place in the folklore of the "Black Belt" of Maryland, is that one day the eagle was very hungry and meeting the fish hawk as he was flying home with a fine fish in his claws, said: "Mr. Fish Hawk, you and I might as well be friends and join together and work for our mutual advantage." "I am willing," said the fish hawk, soaring along with the eagle by his side, but keeping a tighter grip on the fish. "As you agree with me, I'll tell you what we can do," said the eagle. "If you will catch all the fish you can and give me half what you get I'll keep watch in the old pine tree next to your nest and protect your wife and children from the sparrow hawks and your other enemies while you are at work fishing." "All right," said the fish hawk. "I will do it." From that day on, the story goes, the fish hawk has fed the eagle. He does this in an odd and interesting manner. His eyes are very keen and he can see to a considerable depth in the water, and as he skims along over the surface of the deep he picks out the fat fish he wants. Quick as lightning he plunges down, extends his claws and in the next instant rises with the wriggling prey in his talons. After taking a firmer hold on his victim he ascends by a spiral flight into the heavens. The eagle has been watching from a tall tree or crag and, as the fish hawk rises the eagle also darts into the sky above him. This is notice for all the fish hawk's enemies among the feathered tribe to retreat. Just as the fish hawk gets to a point on a plane that is level with that of the eagle he relaxes his grip on the fish and it begins to fall. It is then the eagle's time for quick action. Like a shot from a rapid-fire gun he dives and in a second or two has the fish in his claws. This aerial "throw and catch" game between the two great birds goes on continually over the broad waters of the Potomac, much to the edification of the onlookers. Of course, there must be times when the eagle falls to catch the fish as he swoops down through the air after it, but it cannot be proved by anyone who has witnessed this particular aerial feet on the part of the "bird of freedom." Nobody seems to have ever seen the eagle miss, and nobody seems to have ever known the fish hawk fail to catch a fish when he dived for it. As the fish hawk rises in the air oftentimes, especially on a sunny day, the sheen of the fish can be seen like a piece of silver in his claws, and sometimes the "silver" can be seen wriggling, Impressing one strangely as their eyes witness this tragedy in the air in which the victim can have no hope of rescue. War Has Affected Argentina Sulphate of aluminum is needed by Argentina for clarifying its water supply. It was formerly imported from Germany, but is now difficult to obtain anywhere. American firms are quoting $120 to $185 a ton for it, and the estimated needs for 1917 for the country are placed at 8,000 tons. As the result of a protest to the government by the Argentina public health works, a plant to manufacture the compound from native kaolin has been authorized at a cost of $183,000. It is estimated that aluminum sulphate can be manufactured under present conditions at $20 a ton and at $10 a ton less when sulphuric acid falls to normal. New Mass Formation. An English officer, so a "war story" runs, went out marketing for his mess in a French town. He bought his poulets, his legumes and his polissons very eleverly, but spoiled his reputation for speaking like a native when at the end he remarked to the demotelle behind the counter, "Vous sayez,iezest pour la messe" (messe in French being the equivalent for mass in English). The young woman's idea of what must go on at a "mass" in England, after this statement, would no doubt have astonished the officer. Meteorites of All Sizes. Among the collection shown in the new building of the National museum at Washington is a remarkably fine exhibit of meteorites. It includes complete meteorites ranging in size from the merest pebbles to great bowler-like masses, and casts reproducing giant forms like that of Baculirio, which has been estimated to weigh 25) tons and still rests where it fell in Mexico. MILITARY MUSEUM Miss Gertrude Hilton, fourteen-year-old girl, who declared she was taught to rob men by a cabaret performer with whom she lived. The photo was taken in the rooms of the Children's society, where Miss Hilton is being held. Ruth Howard, twenty-four, a cabaret performer, is being held on a charge of grand larceny and of having harbored a fourteen-year-old girl for immoral purposes. The charge was made against Miss Hilton by a Dutch captain, Richard Gerbugge, who lived at the Hotel Wolcott, New York. According to the story Miss Howard and four other girls of which Miss Hilton is one went with him for an auto ride through the park and robbed him of $1,200. BIRDS BUILD THEIR NESTS UNDER FIRE Philadelphia, Pa.—Birds build nests in European forests while trees are being shelled during the artillery engagements, according to Dr. Arthur A. Allan, head of the department devoted to bird study at Cornell university, who spoke at the American Ornithologists' meeting here recently. He said a doctor with an ambulance corps in France counted 35 species of birds that had built nests in ruins of buildings and trenches abandoned by inhabitants and soldiers. "Artillery fire that sweeps away entire sections of woods falls to disturb the birds which happen to be building there," Doctor Allan said. "The observer was able to see a number of these birds building nests under fire. The tree in which one of the birds was making a nest was entirely swept away by a shell, but a bird on a neighboring tree kept right on building." HELD FOR INSULT TO FLAG Charles Lenker of Hempstead, L. I. Must Face Grand Jury on Charge. Hempstead, L. L—Charles Lenker, wealthy florist, was held to await the action of the grand jury by Police Justice Clinton M. Flint of Freeport on a charge of using alleged abusive language in referring to the United States flag. Thomas Reynolds, Alfonso Cately, Spanish war veteran, and John J. Dolan testified that in a hotel in Freeport, Lenker spoke in "an abusive manner toward President, Wilson," saying he could not find employment with the kniser even as a street sweeper. They said he declared the United States flag "was nothing but a rag and not fit to wipe one's hands with." Mr. Lenker made no statement and no witnesses were called to testify in his behalf. Ever since the alleged insult to the flag members of the Grand Army of the Republic of Freeport, the Order of American Mechanics and Elks have been greatly agitated over the affair, which resulted in the issuing of a warrant for Lenker's arrest. Drunk for Nineteen Years. New York—Admitting that he takes only one drink every day and, "that drink makes me drunk," Matthew Murray, a plumber, declared. In domestic relations court that he had not been sober a single day for 19 years. Greeley, Colo.-Lewis C. Dodge, a miner, was told he had inherited $100,000. "Well, if that's all, I'd better get back to work," he said. "The, bsaq, don't pay me for loading." THE KANSAS MILITARY ABRIGATE To speak to a telephone operator is like speaking in the dark to a stranger. In such a situation courtesy, would seem to be the first rule of the road. Unfortunately, courtesy is not invariably the tone which people employ with telephone operators. During one of the national conventions, something went wrong with the wires; messages were delayed and mixed; offices and correspondents were losing their tempers. In the midst of it, James Morgan, with that imperturable good humor of his, sent back, to the Boston Globe a telegram bearing merely the words that were born in the dance hall of a western mining town: "Don't shoot the pianist. He is doing the best he can." Don't bully the telephone operator. She is doing, the best she can. If she were not she would not be where she is. Being a telephone operator in these busy days is no sinecure. The sillest place to lose one's temper is into a transmitter. It is the most cowardly place, also. To abuse a telephone operator (who is a long way off, a woman and an employee) is about as heroic sport as shooting robins. The operator cannot get her tormentor discharged. She cannot even answer back. Discipline forbids. —Boston Globe. TRACTOR FARMING IN FRANCE Number of Machines in Use Will Be Increased Enormously After the War. The French government has established a commission to promote what we may call mechanical farming after the war. This commission finds that a considerable number of tractors are already in use in French agriculture, and that their number can be Increased enormously as soon as the war ends. It is looking out now for the plows, harrows, drills, etc., to be hauled by these tractors, and seeking mechanical training for the young men and women who must operate them. The possibilities in this line are very great. French farms are small, to be sure, much smaller than the unit area which has been found most profitable for tractor operation. But there are no fences between the fields, one or two good tractors could do the plowing and harvesting for a whole hamlet, and while the French never talk much about co-operation and have little formal organization for it, they are among the most expert co-operators in the world. No mechanical equipment can make up entirely for the losses of man-power due to the war, but the machines will help, and it is clear that their aid will be claimed to the fullest possible extent. The Soft Answer. Captain Koenig of the submarine Deutschland told in Baltimore a few days before his departure: "I mistrust those allied warships waiting for me outside Chesapeake bay. I'm afraid they misunderstand the meaning of neutral waters as the boy misunderstood the meaning of the Bible text. "When your enemy called you a bow-legged liar, what did you do? this boy's teacher asked. "I remembered,' he replied, 'the text about how a soft answer turneth away wrath.' "Yes, yes! You good little fellow. And what soft answer did you make? "I smashed him in the nose with a rotten tomato.'"—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Splashlesa Flop a Bunk. "Where can a fellow get a flop with a splash for about a man and a half?" The speaker told Sam McGuire, a theatrical man he accosted at Forty-second street and Broadway, New York, that he was a circus man just in from the road. McGuire finally learned that he desired a room with a bath for $1.50. McGuire met the man again. "The hut was a bunk," he said. "They slipped me a drop instead of a splash," which McGuire later learned meant that he received a shower bath instead of a regular tub.-Indianapolis News. The "Harm Face" A Presbyterian minster in Newcastle, England, has been making a careful study of the photos of the men who have won the Victoria, Cross, the Military Medal and other decorations for valor. His conclusions are very interesting. He finds, that the bull-necked, aggressive type of face, has hardly ever been represented. Almost invariably the heroes had the features of men of kindly and benevolent aspect. John Bull Meets Sweet Potato. There, has just arrived, from the Azores a consignment of sweet potatoes. This article, is, not, strictly speaking, a vegetable, although called a potato, as it is generally used by Spaniards and Portuguese as a sweet, baked in an oven, and then split open and eaten without any addition. It is delicious, having a flavor closely allied to that of a chestnut—London Globe. Accounted For: "It is something jawful, the war insanity is reported to be on the increase." "Havys a breet man.
