A SOUTHERN CITY ESCAPES EXODUS ONE WRITES OF THE BLACK BELT WHO KNOWS—A CITY OF PROSPERITY According to promise I shall write a few lines concerning the next largest Negro town in the country, and the equal of any. It was the dream of I. T. Montgomery, the founder, and is now a stern, and emphatic reality. Situated in the midst of the richest section in the world and right in the heart of the black belt, owned, controlled, directed and supported by Negroes, it is important as demonstrating the possibilities of the Negro to govern himself and to be governed by himself. Of course, it is known that no white man lives within many miles of Mound Bayou, hence, all that is accomplished is to the credit of the Negro. Here are a few of the chief features. You receive your mail from a Negro postmistress or her Negro clerk; you purchase your railroad ticket from a Negro man or his Negro assistant; you get your telephone connection by means of an exchange at which "Central" is a Negro girl; all express business is transacted by the Negro manager of the American Express company; you refresh yourself with "coke" manu- factured by a Negro man, right there in the town; your electric lights and gas lights are installed by Negro electricians and Negro plumbers, and the same is true of your water connections for your bath room and other purposes; you have your motors fixed in a garage, owned, controlled and operated by a Negro machinist; you get your "little liver pills" from a colored doctor and the prescriptions are filled by Negro pharmacists. I had the pleasure of sending to Kansas City a "Cashier's check" drawn and issued by the Negro cashier as dark as I am; the legal business is in the hands of competent Negro lawyers; every piece of bread, every garment worn, every farm implement used, every bale of cotton shipped, every piece of building material used, and everything else, come to the people through Negro dealers, and the things used as as god as can be found elsewhere. Not Hit By the Exodus. Of all the Southern towns visited, in Mound Bayou there is less talk of "exodusing," for these Negroes own their farms, business houses, saw mills, a great oil mill, palatial residences and other property and they are not thinking of throwing them away and running away. They discuss the exodus and are interested in the outcome, but they are going to remain at home for quite a while, yet! These Negroes Have Weaknesses. While admiring the splendid qualities and the material progress of these Negroes in whom the whole race is on trial, one cannot help noting that they make some mistakes and have some glaring weaknesses. For instance, the town is rent in twain between two rival factions, one led by Mr. Chas. Banks who has done to upbuild Mound Bayou and the other by Mr. Eugene Boore, the son-in-law of Mr. I. T. Montgomery, the founder of the town. In this connection, for quite a while, the town had two mayors and two sets of aldermen, a wonderful double-header for a little town. There is to be found much rivalry and considerable jealousy in the business, social and religious life of the people of Mount Bayou. There is the tendency to allow the material side to overshadow the spiritual. There are some of the richer ones who take advantage of the poorer ones. Even some of the ministers are accused of being more deeply interested in their farms and their business than in their churches. There is the tendency toward "high society" and worldly manifest in the life of the people of the churches. These things are easily observable to one who studies the life of these people. The more sober, thoughtful, serious and religious of the commu- TWELVE MONTHS: $150 nity are outspoken in their condemnation and some of the ministers have become somewhat unpopular because of their contentions against worldliness, for some of the financial and political leaders are leaders in the worldly, un-Godly things. These tendencies and inclinations are to be condemned — severely condemned—but they do not make the Negro town any worse than the white town. The white people have had centuries of civilization and advancement and yet all of these and worse things are to be found in the towns controlled by the whites. We shall hope for the elimination of these things from the life of these Negroes, we should not condemn them more severely than we would the others. Then, too, we are very apt pupils of those who have been our teachers for years. There are many good things to be said concerning this town and these people, their hospitality, race loyalty, intelligence, pleasant homes and many excellent qualities, but I shall save some of them for the next time. After a stay of ten days there, I was given a great "send off," about two hundred people being at the station, to say, goodbye. I have some interesting information for the next. Yours on the fly, A. N. OBSERVER. REV. BOYD MAKES HIS TWENTY FIRST ANNUAL REPORT, AS SECRETARY OF THE NATIONAL BAPTIST PUB. LISHING BOARD Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 8.—Baptists from practically every state in the entire union listened bewildered and awe-striken with surprise at the astounding success reported by the Rev. R. H. Boyd, D.D., secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board at Nashville, before the National Baptist convention in session in this city. As secretary of the National Publishing Board of the National Baptist Convention the Rev. R. H. Boyd made his twenty-first annual report, and as on former occasions completely captivated the messengers who gave him almost continual applause, as he recounted the obstacles he had been compelled to surmount, in making the plant the pride of the entire race. Throughout the session he was referred to as the "Moses" of the Negro Baptists, as it is attributed to him that he has brought the Negro Baptists out of the wilderness, as they had no literature until he began to publish a series of Sunday School Periodicals at Nashville. The plant, as stated in the report of Secretary R. H. Boyd, is valued at nearly one-half million dollars, and they are sending out annually over ten million copies of religious literature and denominational books. Nearly two hundred thousand dollars is the gross report of the receipts and expenses for the year. The report was in printed form and was distributed among the messengers. It deals with every phase of the publishing work and pays a glowing tribute to the so-called little R. F. D.'s or unknown Baptists, that have, according to Dr. Boyd's version, made the most rapid and the most wonderful progress of any denomination. We are striving to bring order out of chaos, lift our people out of ignorance and superstition and bring them out to the marvelous light of a new car, as exemplified and taught by the lowly Nazarene, declared Dr. Boyd before the convention as he concluded his report. When he referred to the National Baptist Publishing Board as having a member of the International Lesson Committee, the only Negro in the world occupying the position, the convention went wild with applause. "We make everything from a post card, to an encyclopedia, and from a calling card to a Bible. Our literature is written by Negroes, set up on typesetting machines owned and operated by Negroes, printed on printing presses owned and operated by Negroes, finished in a book binding plant owned and operated by Negroes, and sent out for use by Negro Baptists.

White, of the American Woodmen, at the Metropolitan Baptist Temple Wednesday evening. Mr. White, as has been said, is a great character and his lectures, if followed and carried out, will open greater avenues of usefulness and success to the race. He held his auditors for an hour and a half with his logic, eloquence and valuable information. He fully explained the insurance of this great company of which he is at the head. At the close of his lecture some 30 or more men and women took out policies, after which a reception was given in honor of the Supreme Commander, at which time ice cream and cake were served. Mrs. Woods gave a fine selection on the pipe organ at the opening and Mrs. Holmes favored the audience with a very sweet vocal selection at the close. Deacon D. W. White made the welcome address in his usual happy manner. Mr. W. G. Banks, one of this company's most efficient chief deputies, and who is organizing the camp here was master of ceremonies. ginning to end," declared the venerable secretary, who will be seventy-five years old on his next birthday. The services Sunday were of great magnitude, both from a spiritual and numerical standard. The pastor, J. F. Griffin, delivered one of those old time balladjah sermons at 11 o'clock and before he was half through many of the vessels of some were bubbling over. Rev. Allen, one of the old warriors in Zion, preached at the 8 o'clock service and his message showed that experience of many years in the truths and knowledge of the life of the great divine law giver. While the $ $ DOLLAR MONEY $ $ is coming in, the pastor, being new here and not knowing his people as wisely as he will next year, feels just a little worried at times as he leaves next Tuesday for Conference and only having one more Sunday. The church cannot afford to let a new man and especially a man like the one they have, to go to conference with any less dollar money than has been reported in former years. This amount is not only due the pastor but the Conference. No dollar is spent in the African Methodist Episcopal church or even any other church denomination where so much is gotten in return. Don't forget to pay your dollar money. Bring or send it in before the pastor makes out the roll, whose names will be printed in the Conference minutes. Reports for the year will be read Monday night, the 24th. Pastor will preach morning and evening Sunday. The pastor and church welcome you at all or any service. VESPER AT W. U. Hon.

Washington, Sept. 17.—A resolution declaring that it will be in the interest of public policy that each state train its own Negro soldiers in separate camps was introduced today by Representative McLemore of Texas. The resolution also stated that "the policy of sending Negro soldiers from the Northern states to be trained, or for other purposes into the Southern states, is traught with great danger to the peace and happiness of the people of the communities to which the Northern Negroes are sent, and should be abandoned." CITIZENS' FORUM RECONVENES A Beneficial Meeting. It was quite acroyd that attended the first autumn meeting of the Citizens' Forum, Sunday, September 16th, at the Metropolitan Temple. Many professional people and people from all ranks of life were present. Those who were absent missed a rare treat, especially the musical part of the program. President G. B. Buster presided with his usual efficiency, and Chaplain Robinson led in appropriate devotions, Quotations and intelligent current events were given from the house. The secretary being absent, the president requested Mrs. M. C. Mathews to act. The program was as follows: Vocal solo, "Tis You," Mrs. Wm. Moore, accompanied by Miss Arlene Jackson, was a classic, and was enclosed. Piano solo, Mr. Rice of W. U., which was very, very classical and was enclosed. Debate, "What Effect Will This World's War Have on the Colored Race?" Subject opened by Attorney Booker, Vocal solo, Mr. Wm. Cogswell, W. U., was most excellent. He has a wonderful range of voice, which reminds one of Caruso. He was enclosed and responded with the sweet song, "Mother McCree." The main speaker of the evening was Dr. Love, who spoke on "Soldier Life at Des Moines." In part he said it was a most beautiful sight to see those 1,250 volunteers, who were trained by the famous 9th and 10th Cavalry and the 24th Infantry, and that one white officer said with such men as those he could gain great victories in the World's War in Europe. It was a fine and deserving tribute paid to our people, who are loyal. It was a splendid address and received great applause. It was discussed by Messrs. C. Jenkins, G. Booker and Prof. A. J. Neely. Prof. J. P. King made remarks on the benefit received from the program, and the president thanked all participants. Prof. Curry, the critic, gave a favorable "Critique." Rev. D. A. Holmes donated $1.50 to the Forum. A motion was made to have Mrs. W. Dwiggins as historian, and hereafter each outgoing president to become historian, automatically, and report once a year. It was carried. The collection was good. Sunday, September 23d, Mr. B. C. Jenkins, who has been in the Navy, and traveled extensively, will be the principal speaker, and very excellent music will be rendered. Everyone is welcome. FORUM PUBLICITY COM.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION AND EFFICIENCY Perhaps no two words are being more used today than Efficiency and Industrial Education. In fact, one might say that they are the fad of the hour. Now that we have become conscious of their value, we are rushing headlong to their realization and at times paying no attention to the methods or economy of effort. At present, as a result there is a grave danger of the school system of the important factor of civilization being shipwrecked. In answer to this overwhelming demand for a training that will produce an immediate increase in skill and efficiency, the industrial school has responded. Too often in speaking of an industrial education we think that it means just work, manual work incessantly, but at a closer range-show different. The real-industrial school which is run on a basis of efficiency and whose results are efficient. No greater or more concrete analysis of just what efficiency is can be found in that "Education for Efficiency" by Ellot. Here he points out those factors, out of which efficiency grows, to take care of the body, quick and concentrated attention, independent thinking, art of criticism, the wise enjoyment of liberty, the scientific temper, and a strong motive power for some enthusiasm or devotion. Now, then, let us follow each one of these in the part in plays in Industrial Education and our argument will be proven. The old maxim of a sound mind in a sound body will always carry weight and thus it is that Industrial Education is foremost along this line, for through Industrial training we learn by doing. Doing is no longer confined to books alone but requires a laboratory or a work shop whether it be the horse and plow, the anvil, the hammer, the saw, the scrub brush, the forge or what not. In brief, it is that place where the mental is put to the physical test; where the mind guides the body and develops it, where each muscular activity makes another impression on the mental side thus fixing the fact clearly and firmly in the individual's mind. Did Industrial Training accomplish but this, would it not be playing an efficient part. There can be no mistake in firmly asserting that Industrial Education requires quick and concentrated attention, no one can do a thing and do it well who is not attentive and the more quickly one's attention is focused the more quickly the results come. This is what even the most sluggish results. When some one else performs an experiment and you are the looker-on, how easily is it for the mind to drift, for you even lose sight of what is being done, but when you yourself are the doer, the mere action awakens attention and the more often it is awakened, the more quickly does it respond. This tends to become a habit then repetition and the employer in every field is looking for that employee who responds quickly and who does the employer's work as if it were his own. That is, the employer is looking for that man who has been trained to be an efficient worker. It is self-evident to one who has barely looked into an industrial institute that the theoretical and the practical receive equal attention. The teacher even in giving the theory illustrated the work throughout with the objects themselves or pictures. The students are not only allowed but expected to handle the object, analyze and synthesize them in the class room and then carry the theory out into real practice in the fields, gardens, orchards or shops of the various trades. To be able to do this means the power to work in a group, but no group work can be effective that does not emphasize first of all independent thought. Each individual of the group has his individual problem which requires his solution. To be sure he can and must get some help toward solving his problem from the one in charge by the teacher who teaches best is the thought-provoking teacher, he who gives his student a problem that demands a solution and after that student has passed through those thought experiences, the results are purely his and a germa. nent gain. He has become a more efficient individual through the exercise of his own mental capacities. Thus it is in the industrial school the student gets his theory first and then putting it into practice awakens his thought powers. Out in the sensual world there are pleasurable motives or the idea of getting money which will provoke thought but in the busy hum of the shape and out in the hot field, there is often a minimum of motives present. What then is the propelling power? Man's first law, self-preservation, and he forces in his Industrial Training a trade coming into being and thus blind to the heat and other less pleasing factor he works and thinks and daily becomes an efficient worker. Now, perhaps, one of the most happy-factors of Industrial Training and one that serves to awaken the individual's work, and produce the desired effects is what Eliot terms criticism, used in its broadest application. Manis hardened to the idea that criticism is something that alms-at-the-faults, the weakness, etc., but this is but one side of the question, for the critical eye discerns the beauty and excellence in things, words, thought and nature of man. Out of the queer combinations found in physical nature and the natural word the industrial worker handling his specimen and studying with his own eyes sees the perfections as well as the imperfections. He finds weakness coupled with strength and through the contrast he learns not only to appreciate perfection but to master it. Then Eliot-carries you-another step further. "He finds in efficiency the wise-enjoyment of Liberty. This gives efficiency a religious interpretation for it emphasizes this Christian idea. "We shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." So it is that through industrial training man is given the opportunity to lift the chains of slavery, poverty, debt or disease for he is an individual who has the means of a living within his own hands. He or she can convert the raw material into a commodity with a market value. He can combat disease by this knowledge of sanitation and hygiene. He has all that he needs to make him free—to enjoy the liberty for which God intended second mind should be the inheritor. Before taking up the most vital factor of the inter-relation of efficiency and Industrial Education, one might pause to consider that factor which took root in the 19th Century, namely, the scientific temper of mind. This is the analytical temper that breaks up the raw material in a search for truth or the fundamental on which hinges all the rest. This systematizes any trade the student has chosen and when his work has a systematized basis, he "is bound to bring about results that are effective not for himself alone but for a larger humanity. Now, with all these good effective results of Industrial Education all is worthless unless it culminates in creating a strong motive power for some enthusiasm or devotion. This is what makes a wide awake individual, a man or woman who is not passive but active, energetic, moving, creating, that is bringing about results. This is the real virtue of Industrial Training that not only gives a man a trade but makes him enthusiastic to accomplish his work and be devoted to his cause. Only by doing the job, by entering into its body and soul or hand and head can this enthusiasm and devotion be fostered and every Industrial Institute which does not defeat its purpose does generate this motive power to all entering its walls and remaining long enough to grasp and develops its purpose. Thus it is evident from these several argument that industrial education makes the individual efficient. Mrs. Chauncy L. Jenkins, Independence, Mo.

The secretary of the convention stated at the close of the session last night that the enrollment had totalled one thousand five hundred eighty-seven. Every state in the Union except Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont was represented in the enrolment. Throughout the week there was one continual grind of the denomination's million matters of vital importance, affecting the future of the Negro Baptists of the United States. The Convention went on record as taking high ground for denominational and racial-uplift. Advance-steps were made in education. Some of the interesting features of this session were the ratification of the purchase of the Theological Seminary site, located in Nashville, Tennessee, valued at one hundred thousand dollars which was reported by the Educational Board; the moving-of the headquarters of the Educational Board to Nashville and the re-establishment of the Foreign Mission Board headquarters at Louisville, Kentucky. The convention voted unanimously to hold its 1918 session next September at Little Rock, Arkansas. Fifteen thousand-dollars in cash and subscriptions were raised.

Afternoon. --- The Advocate in the past year has been honored with articles from the pen of some of the race's solid thinkers, and it is our good fortune to retain the services of these men and women of literary ability. There has from time to time many high and honest compliments come to the office of this paper as to the merits of articles by the writers. Among some of those whom we might mention as being exceedingly interesting and helpful are Judge I. F. Bradley, a prominent attorney of this city; Prof. G. A. Gregg of Western University; Mrs. Jenkins, Independence, Mo., and Dr. R. A. Adams of Kansas City, Kansas. In several instances we find some of our white dallies running some of the articles, credited to The Advocate. We wish at this time to show our appreciation to each contributor for the very rich and fertile literary productions, and with a gratefulness untold we solicit your continuation and association of thought to this journal and people. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. The baptismal sermon preached by Rev. W. A. Bowren, the pastor, was full of eloquence and showed thought and study. It was in general accordance with the baptism of the two converts which followed. The entire church were pleased to welcome these new lambs to its fold. All services during the day were well attended, and there was a liberal collection. All the five Baptist Churches which represented the Church Jubilee came together with laughter and merriment to crown the Queen of the Carnival—Mrs. Francis Watson—on Monday night at First Baptist Church. The coronation was sensibly carried out and everyone smilingly congratulated the Queen. Each church received $89.50, after all expenditures, which was good, considering the attendance. The Kansas Club will meet on Wednesday, September 26, in the Ladies' parlor of the Metropolitan from 8 to 9:30. All are invited. Mr. Gardner, on Everett, is somewhat weaker. H.

Few women of K. C., Kas, realize the value and need of a Young Women's Christian Association. It will supply a need for better womanhood. It will give the city a cultured and refined womanhood. It will develop amusements that are not questionable. It will afford a course in Bible study, the result of which will count for Christian character. It will offer a very helpful hour on each Sunday afternoon at 3 p. m. It is a temporary home for traveling women where they may rest the same as at their own home. It will supplement the work of the churches, as to Sunday schools, B. Y. P. U. and C. E. prayer meetings and other auxiliaries. Therefore ministers should give it their hearty support. Sunday school superintendents should aid and teachers in general help. The hour of meeting is 3 p. m. every Sunday. Let everyone be a booster. Kansas City, Kansas, is sorely in need of both organizations, Y. W. and Y. M. among both races. The walls of the Y. M. C. A. at Seventh and, Minnesota stand as a mute challenge to the lack of Y. W. C. A. spirit in this city. We need not be surprised when professed Christian men and others resort to unkind and segregating activities. It is only evidence that the city in its dominant activities is segregated from God's love or love of God. The Y. W. among the white people is struggling for mere existence. Let every one help. G. A.

There is an effort being put forth to bring men to some service that day from every part of the city and every walk of life. An excellent musical program will be rendered at one of the services. Also some good wholesome talks will be made by real thinkers. Program will be announced in a later issue of this paper. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. At 11 a. m. D. A. Holmes, the pastor of this church, was greeted with a large congregation, and in his usual able manner preached a fervent sermon, which was enjoyed by many. At 7:45 p. m. he announced that he would not preach, on account of an irritated throat, but took as his subject "Ethiopia Shall Stretch Forth Her Hands," the main feature being we must have faith, implicit faith, in God. After which he gave a fine report of the great National Baptist Convention at Muskogee, Okla., how kindly they were entertained, how one white gentleman, who said his father was a rebel, but that it was a gathering exceeding the Teachers' Convention. He spoke of the many fine orators among the Baptist clergymen, and especially of Rev. C. T. Walker of Atlanta, Ga., who J. D. Rockefeller claims and who is called the greatest preacher in the world.

Aver NEW COLLUM STORE ON GRAND LASTEST ACHIEVEMENT OF DEN NIS COLLUM, PIONEER MER CHANT. STARTED HERE 32 YEARS AGO. M.G. K. C. DEPARTMENT STORE NOW. HAS 19 BRANCH HOUSES. Last Friday the Collum Commerce company held its grand opening of their new store, 1316-1318 Grand avenue. Steps by which this department store has been uplifted form a very interesting story. Indeed, especially for the benefit of tech average business man. Twenty-two years ago Dennis Collium started to work for the American Writer company of New York. He had charge of the Kansas City branch of the concern. Through strife and hardship Mr. Collium fought for a high school education, and then started to build up the western business of the New York company—all of which was successful. Consciethe, confidence and courtesy are the three principles that Mr. Collium has followed throughout his remarkable career. Conscience in doing business. Confidence in dealing with his employees. Courtesy in meeting his customers. These principles, Mr. Collium says, are responsible for the wonderful progress the Collium Commerce Credit company. In 1896 he purchased the four branch stores which were at that time doing an annual business of $50,000. In 1904 he moved his store to Twelfth street and Broadway. He occupied this place of business until his recent removal. When he moved into the Twelfth street and Broadway location he owned 13 chain stores throughout Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. Not satisfied with this wide chain of stores, he invaded Texas and at the present time is doing business to the extent of over a million dollars annually. Today there are 19 branch stores of the Collum Commerce Credit House, which carries everything to furnish the home, from the kitchen to the music room, and wearing apparel of all description. Mr. Collium's policy of treating with his customers in a confidential manner he made wonders for him. In case of sickness or disability of any of his customers that buy on time they are allowed all the courtesy possible on making their payments. The Kansas City, Kansas, store will celebrate its second anniversary in October. This store was established the 5th day of October under the management of J. A. Collium. Owing to ill-health J. A. Collium resigned, J. Emmet-Collium being appointed to the position. At present J. A. Collium is member of the artillery forces located at Fort Bliss, Tex. J. Emmet Collium, previous to his Kansas City, Kansas, appointment, was assistant manager of the Kansas City, Mo. store. The reason for this success is best expressed in the words of a magazine article written about Mr. Colum's years ago. "As a man who is the center of a large circle of friends who stand for much that is best in local thought and action. Taken all in all he is that rare combination, the keen, wire-edged business man with the soul of a dreamer, a soldier with ideals, a captain with a heart." Mr. Colum's residence is located at 1221 East Armour. Dennik, or "Donny," as his wife calls him, was born in Allentown, Pa. He became a husband in Iowa in 1885. Following is a list of the Colum Commerce Credit company chain of stores: Kansas City, Mo., Kansas City, Kas, St. Louis, Mo., Joplin, Mo. Pittsburg, Kas, Wichita, Kas, Topeka, Kas, Iola, Kas, Welf City Kas, Leavenworth, Kas, Oklahoma City, Fort Worth, Texas, Dallas, Tex, Sherman, Tex, Denison, Tex, Belleville, Ill. Some cities have two stores. WON'T STOP CARS ON JAMES STREET VIADUCT It was announced at the city hall today that an agreement has practically been retained whereby the Kansas Railways company may operate street cars over the present James street viaduct, while the new viaduct is being built. An all day conference was held yesterday between officials of the two cities, officials of the Missouri Pacific and, Unich Pacific, railway and the Kansas City-Street Railways company, out of which came an agreement by which street railway, traffic would be continued over the James Street viaduct while the roadway over the viaduct is being rebuilt. Improvements amounting to $7,000 will be made on the viaduct, so that street railway traffic can be con- firmed. The expense of the improvement will be borne by the two railways and the street-car company. The viaduct will be rebuilt at a cost of $109,000. Died—Diana Jackson, Monday, the 31st inst., at 1718-12 North Eighth street. She leaves a father, six brothers and four sisters. The family is the sympathy of the community.

Letter Carrier Joins: First Contingent A Here we have the officers and men of the first contingent to arrive at Camp Upton, Yaphank, L, I. It is a letter carriers' division composed of one man, at your service. Carso successfully passed the draft board in his district and put in a claim for exemption on the ground of being in government employ. Before the appeal came up for the district board, Carso decided he did not want to be exempted and appeared at the camp a few days before the first man was scheduled to appear and demanded to be taken in. A debate ensued, but quarters were assigned to the division finally. 'It has taken over the mail service of the camp. WET GOODS WERE "UNSATISFACTORY" TOPEKA NEGRO HELD UP ON WAY TO MISSOURI TO RETURN WHISKEY Walker Mitchell, a Topeka negro, is being held by the police today charged with violating the "bone dry" laws of the city and state. Mitchell's offense was in having 24 pint bottles of whiskey in his possession. And the peculiar feature of his case was that he was taking the liquor from Topeka to Kansas City, Mo. Mitchell admitted the liquor was of poor quality and he was availing himself of the privilege of returning "unsatisfactory goods," a privilege held out to Kansas by Missouri merchants RE-UNION.

Second St. SOLDIERS ENTER CAMP SHOUTING AND SINGING TWENTY-SEVEN HUNDRED ARRIVED AT CAMP FUNSTON YESTERDAY RIDE WHETTED UP APPETITES BOYS MADE LIFE A BURDEN TO COOKS WITH DEMANDS FOR FOOD Camp Funston, Sept. 20.—Twenty-seven hundred young recruits to the new national army arrived here yesterday afternoon. They stormed the camp and made life miserable for the cooks, for it seems they took on a terrible appetite on their trip from the various sections of Kaasas, Missouri and Nebraska. The boys from Kansas City were a noisy lot. As soon as the train stopped yells and shouts could be heard for a mile from the station. "There comes some more of those Kansans," an officer was heard to remark. Many of the officers commented on the fine appearance of the men. The men were received by Col. C. B. Clark, and assigned to their various units. Here they were examined and made to take a bath. Many objected to this, saying they took a bath before they left home; but the officer in charge had the last say. They were then given clothing, but owing to the shortage some only received hats and shoes. They were then shown to their barracks. All the men were provided with a cot and one blanket. The men began drilling this morning, for Uncle Sam's schedule of training is an intensive one, no time being lost after the men get here. All men were in good spirits, despite the fact that yesterday's parting at home was one of tears, more or less. The Union Pacific is bringing in special trains at all hours. It expects to land in all 19,600 troops here this week. SEGREGATE MEXICAN CHILDREN IN SCHOOL The children of Mexicans employed in the grading camps and railroad shops in Argentine yesterday were assigned a room in the Emerson school building, where they will be given special instruction. Miss Nellie Comstock will be in charge. Heretofore the Mexicans have been taught in the regular school rooms, but have been unable to keep up with the classes. The board of education decided to segregate them this year as an experiment. Forty children enrolled yesterday. The year's curriculum will consist of the work of the six grades usually taught in the grade schools. Glen Olive is planning a meeting for the last week in this month.
