Mrs. Hill, or Mother Hill, as she was a mother to all about her, was laid tenderly away from her daughter's home, Mr. and Mrs. Easley, 604 New Jersey, East Sunday at 2 p. m. Mrs. Hill had long been a member of the First A. M. E. church and was known to be a good woman in all the word good has in it. She leaves two Christian daughters, Mrs. Easley and Mrs. James A. Sister, and several grand children. A large number attended the funeral and many fine pieces of floral offerings were sent in. Rev. Griffin, her pastor, officiated. The family and relatives have the sincere sympathy of their many friends, including The Advocate, in their hour of bereavement.

The weekly meeting which meets every Tuesday evening at the Y. M. G. A. 1824 Paseo., was largely attended last Tuesday evening by men and women of both cities. Prof. J. R. Lee, the chairman, was quite elated over the interest and manifestation being exhibited throughout the two cities and for fifty miles out in the two states. Independence, Liberty and St. Joseph will run special cars on that evening. Leavenworth, Lawrence, Topeka and other towns along the route are going to send large delegations. The boxes are about all taken at this early date, and it looks like there will be not less than fifteen thousand in Convention Hall when the curtain goes up on Friday night, December the 7th. The big chorus of five hundred, made up from all our stars, and the choruses from all the churches in the two cities have been rehearsing regularly under those two matchless chorus leaders, Major N. Clark Smith and Prof. R. G. Jackson. Prof. Lee is working as he never did to make this entertainment the greatest ever held in Greater Kansas City. Mr. Hayes sang in one of the largest music halls of Boston last week to seven thousand people, it being the first instance this juristocratic hall was ever graced by a colored performer. Tickets and reserved seats can be had on the Kansas side at the Home drug store, 1512 North Fifth, or at Summer high school. THE MINNESOTA AVENUE STATE BANK-LATE IMPROVEMENTS MAKE IT A BEAUTY. MARKET A BEAUTY The Minnesota State bank, at the corner of 5th and Minnesota avenue, has just completed its new transformation of its banking room, which is a beauty. A beautiful design of tile flooring now takes the place of the old one. The walls have been hand-demolished and, fine electric lines hanging from the ceiling. The furniture and bank fixtures have been changed with a marble slab base extending around the entire lobby, with here and there a next and convenient desk for its patrons. While this bank has depositors from all over the city and county, the businesses men on this end of 5th avenue especially feel proud that they have helped to make it possible for these improvements and which makes it a Bank of Greater Personal Service. "UNGER IKE" SAYS WE GOT TO MOVE ALONG THE LINE OF REASON. Well—is you gwyn ter go along dat line er gin? Ahem — Ahem-er—Ah—Well I can’t exactly say, whether I’sgw in some wher—or Com-in fum some place—bout all I know is—dat I’sse try in ter more—some. Put your ear to the ground and listen, and catch the strain. First—it should be clear to the most un-believing citizen of color—that his movement should be “Along the line of Reason.” Secondly—That it is time—high time—away beyond time; for us to move—if we would save anything from the game and play that confronts us. One other thing I will say, ‘Tls that, “John hands with us, and pool interests, and work with one purpose—and we will prevent much that is threatened—and accomplish more that is desirable.” Let’s decide to hang together—instead of apart—for we will the latter—if not the first. Any one who thinks these suggestions are not proper—come forward with any other—if, they are better—we will heartily join and follow the lead. Anything O, Lord, that we may get to "Goin' somewhar—or comin' fum some place"—for the notice has been served, and we have got to MOVE. UNCER IKE. (I. F. BRADLEY.) FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The pastor, Rev. W. A. Bowrent took for his text the 30th Psalm, and for his real theme, the last part of the 5th verse, "Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning." He illustrated very plainly the night of sorrow many a weary soul has labored under then the morning of light and gladness following. He brought out clearly the old but beautiful saying, "Every cloud has a silver lining." He showed that no matter how black and deep the night, light is ever shining just beyond the rim of the cloud in the most gracious and benevolent Being, Jesus Christ. In short the morning is always present within our hearts if we would but be prayfully still and look and listen. It brings to mind another true saying, "The darkest hour is just before daylight." After the terror and worry and weeping of a black night, what more natural, more beautiful and more pleasing than a serene smiling roar dawn? Thus after our souls have been burdened to the lowest depths, what is more salietying than the light and presence of Jesus; our Saviour? We were pleased to note the many strangers present and extend the usual welcome to all. Do not forget the manner of service Thanksgiving day, November 29, Thursday. If one feels that one can't fast all day then vomit one meal, breakfast, and come to church and join in the prayer-thanks service. All are invited and we expect a full church. Brother Joe Collins is the leader of the First Baptist Prayer band, which meets at the church every Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, and every Sunday evening from 7:30 to 8. He and the pastor and the rest of the band would be pleased to see you out. That means you. Mrs. Francis Watson of First Baptist will conduct a Bible Study class at the T. W. C. A. every Wednesday evening, and she hopes for the presence of all interested in Bible work. Corner of Ninth and Nebraska ave. nue. Be sure to come. CHURCH EDITOR. BIBLE CLASS. The Neighborhood Bible class had an interesting lesson at its meeting November 14th, at Mrs. Carroll's. Also a nice large meeting at Mrs. Holmes on Oakland avenue, where they read and discussed Philippians third chapter.

SUMNER HIGH NOTES By Mervin Harris. Our School. In the year 1906 a building at Ninth and Washington boulevard was completed. In September of the same year this building was turned over to to the colored high school students of Kansas City, Kansas, with Prof. J. E. Patterson as principal. Previous to this they had been attending the white high school at Ninth and Minnesota. Prof. Patterson retained the position as principal until 1908 when he was succeeded by Prof. J. M. Marques, Prof. Marques being succeeded by Prof. John A. Hodge in 1915. Some of the minor facts concerning the school are: It contains 15 rooms, an auditorium with a seating capacity of over 300, a girls rest room and cafeteria. In the last five years there has been 166 graduates. There are 298 students enrolled this year. The expenses for instruction last year amounted to $4,211, expenses for class room supplies $521, fuel and janitor $4,094, the total expense being $22,668. Miss Eva Overton of the class of 1911 and Miss Mary Link of the class of 1917 have made the highest records, each have received scholarships in the University of Chicago. Prof. Hodge, our principle, is a graduate of Indiana University receiving both M. A. and B. A. degrees. He served as assistant in the laboratory there before coming to the Science Department of Summer. Summer and Summer High school of St. Louis have the distinction of being the only colored high schools in the Northwestern Association of High schools and colleges. To become a member of this association each teacher must have certain qualifications. The equipment of the various departments must be up to a certain standard. The number of students per class must not exceed an average of 30 for the year. The work of the school must be examined at certain periods by state high school inspectors or by separate inspectors sent out by the association: Schools are admitted for only one year at a time and at the close of each year a report must be sent to the association. THE CROSSETT SHOE HAS A RECORD. The Crossett shoe for men has no substitute, but has a duplicate when you want another pair of the Crossett shoes. All Crossett shoes are made out of leather and not tanned with acid chemicals which takes all the life from the hide, but every hide posited in the rat, but every hide from which the Crossett shoe is made goes through a process of long standing which is only known to a few tanners of this country, therefore retains in the hide every bit of leather life. The acid tanned leather from which a pair of shoes is made, as you have often experienced, one shoe will often give out in 30 days and the other one look good for six months, so you most always have one bad looking foot. But when made from the Crossett process tanning you never have to throw away a pair of shoes in 30 or 60 days on the account of one going to pieces. If its one or two years you wear them one foot won't be ashamed of the other. We don't know any shoe that equals a Crossett shoe without its another Crossett shoe. There is only one Crossett shoe store in the two cities and it is at 1005 Main street, Kansas City, Mr. Price is no higher. COFFEYVILLE, KANS. Sunday, Nov. 11 was the first quarterly meeting for this conference year at Bethel A. M. E. church, which was a success both spiritually and financially. P. E. J. T. Smith was at his best and delivered two able sermons. Every department in the church seemingly is taking on new life with Rev. R. B. Ross, as pastor, New auxiliaries are being organized with the aim of doing great work this year, God, being our helpers. Dr. W. L. Brewer, M. D. pastor of the C. M. E. church, preached, his farewell sermon Sunday, leaving. Tuesday morning for his conference which will convene in Muskegon, Okla. Rev. H. W. White, pastor of the Central Baptist church in North Topeka, is in the city in the interest of the Red Cross. He made a very interesting talk at Bethel 'A. M. E. church Sunday at 3:30 p.m. While in the city he was the guest of A. K. Knight, 408 E. Fifth St. Rev. B. R. Ross was indisposed last week, but he was able to fill the pulpit Sunday morning and evening. The program rendered by some of the best talent among the white people in the city last Wednesday evening at the Sardis Baptist church was indeed a success. Rev. K. king, pastor of Mt. Cannan Baptist church, is connecting a series of meetings. The Ladies' Aid of Bethel A. M. E. church-met at the home of Mrs. W. E. Love, 511 East Seventh-street, last Friday afternoon. After the regular routine of business the hostess served a very appetizing luncheon. Next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. J. D. Chattin, 1015 - West Tenth St., November 30.

They say that counts more and greater than a club of 15, 20 or 100." "Did you go? Where? To the Woman's Day at the Forum? If not, you missed half of your life." "Several women and men say that the poetess that has mre poems than anyone in Kansas, and has such good ones, ought to be helped in printing them in book form, and ought to be awarded a medal, not of great cost, but to show appreciation of her talent. It is easy to recite or sing something already composed, but to compose sensibly on any subject asked you, is still harder." Everybody is going, but the police-licenem. Where? To Convention Hall.

Preparations are being made for a bazaar by the Ladies' Aid. A good time is anticipated. There will be special services at the church. Thanksgiving day. Special services by the pastor. Members of the congregation of the African Methodist Episcopal church at 916 Fifth avenue south gave a concert last night at the church. An appreciative audience thoroughly enjoyed the splendid program. The orchestra, consisting of piano, violin, cornet and trap drum played the overture, and played other selections. Rev. G. E. Horsey, the pastor of the church, offered the invocation. Miss La Nita Knott's expressive contralto, rendered the "Cradle song" most effectual. Mrs. G. E. Horsey furnished plenty of clean comedy in her rendition of "A Warning," "The Drive" was sung by Ward Cole, who has a wonderfully clear, bass voice. Little 9-year-old, Sadie Nancy delivered her recitation of "Nobody's Child" with fine effect. Mrs. E. S. Grant was vigorously applauded after singing "Love in Spring" and she enclosed with "Let Me Love Thee." Mrs. Grant, who is one of the well known vocalists of the city, helped the colored people in their concert. The reading of "Christmas Eve" by Mrs. L. C. Forsman was well received. Mrs. Gertrude Barber sang "In the Garden of My Heart." The program concluded with an address of appreciation by Ward Cole, who was faster of ceremonies after which refreshments were served. The concert was a decided success. The African Methodist Episcopal church is giving another concert tonight and it bids fair to equal last night's performance. Subscribe for The Adyocate.

We have had and still have a few cut threats in every community and they are so full of bristlestone deeds one can see blue flames beaming from their rough necks. They either want you to live in the dungeons of turmil or not live at all. They want their neighbors' bed made of thurs, while theirs are of roses. This class of miscreants are the ones who murder burn rock and dynamite--destroying lives, property and drive business out of town. Why can not these desperate characters be brought to law? Or, rather, why is it they are never apprehended in their murderous acts? It's either inefficiency in the city's detective force or their coercing with what is being done. It's one of the two, and in many cases it's both. Good people are becoming to get out of patience with the little notice and protection they get when some one is struck down or their property is destroyed by these archers, and the time seems to be at hand when the citizens should take the matter in hand and let these bullies reap what they have sown.

The IFirst Quarterly Meeting of the is Conference year will the second Sunday in next month, Dec. 9th. Leaders, members and all departments should begin to get ready for a good report. If you expect the church and its people to be of service to you, you should be of some service to the church. Think about it now. The church services Sunday were within keeping for what it is founded upon. While the subject of the pastor was "inactivity" before he closed his sermon, it was indicative that many were quite to the opposite. The sermon was one of great magnitude, within its grappling hooks reaching out in every direction and when they were pulled, ashore they never came in empty. Dr. Griffin is: just a great big brother to everybody and everybody feels that he is. Trustees Elected November 16, 1917. The following trustees were elected for one year: Chas. Williams, Dorsey Green, Geo. McClelland, J. A. Jarrett, S. H. Thompson, Shelton French, J. H. Clayborne, Pres Younger and J. R. Stafford. Later Mr. Stafford, showing he would not be able to attend the meetings as he thought duty would demand and his resignation was accepted and G. P. McNair was selected. There is probably no better set of trustees in any church, than those elected last Friday night. The pastor certainly has a business, brainy bunch of churchmen around him. The members selected them. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. Many, came out to hear Rev.D.A. Homes preach since his recent illness. At 11 a.m., m., he, like Paul, seemed to have new inspiration. He preached one of the finest sermons ever heard and four united with the church. At night he preached fine again. He also took in about 75, as ordinary collection. He says "He has not announced his final report on the money for the plpo organ." He is still much elated over the individual work of some. That is really better than club work of 15 or 20, or more. Come Sunday, November 25, and be benefited at all services. Miss Leona Smith, of Elko, Nev. is visiting her father and family, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Smith, 847 Freeman.

CONFERENCE PRESIDENT, KAN- SAS AND NEBRASKA. Topic, "For What Am I Grateful?" Psalms 34:1-22. This topic calls for a personal in- vestigation. This is the season of time when we rest from a year's labor. We reflect upon the year's work of harvest. We see the fuits of our labor. We pause before the cold tooth of winter is upon us, and by reflection generate, joy, and a glow of feath- that will the more enable us to wi- stand whatever hardships may be ahead. STAFOV Recount our blessings. Whatever the hardship, the difficu- ly the disease, the ache or pain, grat- itude says it could have been worse. Be thankful for existence. If some have passed away be thankful for their memory. Be thankful that they tarried as long as they did. Learn to find the thing in every condition for which one can give thanks. Can one be thankful for the war? Can one be thankful for sickness? Can one be thankful for poverty? Only to the extent that they aspire us to effort. Aside from the destructive side of war there is a strong positive side. The opportunity to render helpful Christian service. Learn to be thankful when things go well. When there is not an ache in the body, be thankful. When there is money in the purse, be thankful. BE THANKFUL. NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE.

As was expected, Women's Day at Metropolitan Temple had the largest audience, the Forum has had this year; and is said to have had one of the finest programs that has been in this city. The idea originated with Mrs. A. R. Merritt, who asked permission of President Buster, then proceeded to Mrs. M. C. Matthews and invited her on the undertaking by getting it announced in the newspapers, etc. Mrs. Matthews responded and by request of the second vice president, recapped the program and took it to Mr. Gray's as job, work of The Advocate. Five others helped in arranging the date, etc. On the auspicious day the leading ladies arranged decorations of large silk flags with flowers and flowers tastefully around the altar, and the ushers were armlets of the national colors. Promptly at 3:30 p. m. a large, intelligent and cosmopolitan audience of the elite and well behaved people of the city filled the great dress circle, till they had to go to the beautiful balcony. After the opening with America, Mrs Brown gave an intelligent inocation and Miss S. Brown read the journal of the previous meeting. Then came a novel and beautiful feature, the processional of participants on programs, from the ladies' organ prelude. Quotations and curator to the auditorium, while Mrs. W. G. Wood played a beautiful pipe rent events by *Mesdames H. Dwiggins and P. Weaver, Kansas City, Mo.* were good. Mrs. Merritt, president pro tem, introduced each person on the program with a different eulogy, and did well. Vocal solo, "A Perfect Day," by Mrs. J. H. Frazier, was very sweet and she was enclosed. The prose protogue and original poem, "The Origin and Destiny of Woman," by Mrs. M. C. Matthews, was praised by many. The critic said, "Such things as that required great research." The chairman of the inter state executiveboard has asked for it or for another from the writer, Rev. Robinson and Attorney Shackelford and others said it was a masterpiece.

The female critic asked afterward that it be published. The address, "The Woman of Yesterday and Today," by Mrs. M. F. Wood of Kansas City, Mo., was good. The vocal solo by Mrs. Anna Gray of Kansas City, Mo., was very good. She warbled a beautiful, dhil like a walker song, and having such a wonderful range of voice, received an ovation and encore. Mme. Bacote accompanied her. The offerty taken at this time detted over 110, counting money received on programs. The vocal solo by Mrs. D. A. Hoolmey was well received. She has a voice of great volume and sang better, than the writer, ever heard her. She, of course, was enclosed. The resolutions by Mrs. Ella Smith, including the motion that Women's Day be an annual, affair, were adopted. Last, but not least, was the "Critique," by Mrs. J. H. Clayborn. It was one of the best we've had this year. She praised each feature highly, and said "twas no use for the men to try, to equal the Women's Day program, as it was impossible. President Buster admitted that women do things a little better than men. Mail Clerk Lewis said he was spell bound by the great and good lessons derived from the program, and if he were a sculptor he'd chisel in marble this inscription, "Woman, thou art a jewel of heaven's best gift to man." Prof. T. Davis gave an original quotation of praise to women, and Mrs. J. T. Roberts has the honor of giving a quotation from our own poetess' "Dream of a Race," written by Mathews. Mrs. T. Davis led her ushers. They were: Misses S. Chinn, I. M. Jones, Mrs. Howell and Miss Warren. Mrs. Buster predealed over the finance. When the female chaplaim gave the benediction the curtain fell on one of the most beautiful scenes of beautiful women and men in a great audience who had learned something new, and on new history made for our race by Women's Day. Great praise is also due to Mrs. A. R. Merritt, also the society editor and publicity committee and the ushers and all of the committee. Supt. M. E. Peiderson and Young People's Day November 25th.

CONTINENTS LAST SEVENTEENTH CENTURY SETTLEMENTS PRESERVED BY FRENCH-CANADIAN HABITANTS OF QUEBEC CROUX AVE SPES UNICAST FRENCH CANADIAN BAKE OVEN WAYSIDE SHRINE NEAR BERTHIER ON WAY TO MARKET, RURAL QUEBEC FREIGHT The question of conscription in Canada has brought to the world's attention the fact that Quebec and its French-Canadian population are a distinct and rather set-apart factor in the life of Canada. The general conception, and a correct one, of the vast Dominion just across our northern border, is that it is a country much like our own, brimming over with the energy that grasps, all modern innovations. It surprises many, however, to learn that in some parts of the Province of Quebec conditions have changed little since the days of the first French pioneers. This is true only, however, of some parts of Quebec, for all the remainder of the Dominion is exceed- lly up-to-date. The French-Canadian of Quebec is above all else a landowner and passionately attached to his acres, few though they may be in number. In the beginning the land was owned by the Seigneurs who parceled it out BRITISH POUR THROUGH GAP IN GERMAN LINE TWO MORE VILLAGES ARE CAP TURED FROM ENEMY BY STORM MANY PRISONERS ARE TAKEN TEUTONS ARE HURRYING UP RE-ENFORCEMENTS TO STOP RUSH London, Nov. 22.—British troops "IF YOU FILL YOU Give us more freight-cars! Give us faster freight trains! This cry is going up from east to west and from north to south. The railroads are doing all in their power, to appease this demand. Schedules are revised; passenger trains taken off; excursion trains eliminated; fast freights given right-of-way. Still there, remains congestion and demand for freight cars. The railways say, "Shippers, fill your cars to capacity." To give a clear idea of the situation a traffic chief of the Canadian Pacific—one of the men who is doing tuch to solve this problem, n6-only for Canada and his own read, but for the United States as well, answered the following questions: How long a period do your Canadian Freight Statistics cover? Eight years 1967 to 1915, inclusive. What was the increase in number of wars in that period? 84-11-19 What was the increase in salary in vacancy? to the people; they in turn paid a small rental in the shape of taxes. The tax was an acknowledgment of the Seigneurs' rights to reclaim the lands. This state of affairs was intolerable to the people, who insisted and secured the right to own the land in fee. At the same time they took to themselves the name "Habitant," meaning "free inhabitant," a term of which they were, and still are, justly proud and jealous. The Habitant of today lives in the same manner and often in the same house as did his great, great grand-father. An investigation in 1908 established the fact that there were two hundred and seventy families living on homesteads that have been occupied by their families for more than two hundred years. This is a charming district full of things, quaint and old-fashioned. The villages are many, they lie nestled in the hills or sit beside some pretty stream. Usually they are named are pouring through the gap smashed in the Hindenburg line on the Arras front and the advance continues the war office announced today. The villages of Fontalne and Notro Dame were captured from the Germans in storm assaults. Not only have the British smashed their way near the great German base of Cambral but many additional prisoners have been captured. All of the Cambral-St. Quentin road is now dominated by the British as the result of the mighty victory of General Halg's forces southeast of Arras, and 10,000 Germans are captives. Teuton reinforcements are be- OUR CARS, YOU'LL NO "1844-10%." What was the increase in freight tonnage shipped? "501-10%" Then the increase in freight shipped was much less than the increase in carrying capacity provided by roads? "Yes, Decidedly so! 803-10% less" Why then do people complain that there is a shortage of cars, if the carrying capacity has increased so much more than the tonnage shipped? That is the Big Question—His answer is the solution of the problem. The cars are not loaded as heavily as they should be. Therefore the increase in capacity does not take care of the increase in tenacity to be shipped. Most cars go forward loaded to test than half capacity. That means other freight must wait until the empty space in that car, as well as the loaded space, is released. In 1987 the average car capacity was a bit more than 27,000, the average car that was after some saint, there being fifty St. Annes alone. These hamlets consist for the most part of a single street that is lined with close-set houses, the land running back from the roadway in long, narrow strips. The object of such arrangement was to secure safety for the inhabitants in those bygone days when the blood-curdling yell of the Redskin might sound a call to arms at any hour of day or night. The houses and barns painted white with doors and blinds of deep red, green or brown, as suits the householder's fancy, present a quaint, old-world effect. Most of the houses are of the three-room variety capped by a loft reached by a ladder, but circumscribed as these quarters are, they are no bar to large, families. These humble 'roof' shelter on an average from 'roof' to fifteen children, often as many as twenty. Early marriages and many children are matters of 'pride' among the Habitants. Bavarian troops, the best fighters in the German army, held some of the German positions and there were furious struggles at some points, particularly along the western bank of the Canal Dunord, with rifle, bomb and bayonet. Because the British made no preparations with artillery there were no shell craters, which enabled the huge tanks to make better progress and German sharpshooters had notshell holes in which to blade themselves. NOT NEED SO MANY was a little more than 15 tons. Waste space amounted to more than 44%. By 1915 the average capacity of freight cars had increased to over 33 tons. The load averaged something over 18 tons. It was a waste of more than 44%. In eight years the railroads had increased the capacity of the cars almost 6%, but the shippers used only 3% of the space provided, letting 48% of the increased space go to waste. If shippers would make it a rule not to send out a car loaded to less than maximum capacity, we could haul almost half again as much freight per train as we now do." Then by loading cars to capacity, the motor for more cars could be silenced. "Not altogether. Cars must be released quickly. Railroads, would rather have their car earn money hauling freight than getting demurrage for standing idle and blockier trains. If skippers will load, to capacity, food and inmates quickly, there will be no car shearer." In the Distillat Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas Robert B. Thomas Defendant, PUBLICATION NOTICE.

In those days Constantinople wasn't the city of mosques and minarets where Minzins chant their calls to prayers and where velled beauties shop in the bazaars. The eastern capital of the Roman empire was then the centre of the Christian religion. Beginning with Constantia, the Christian Emperors resided in its gorgeous palaces. One day word was brought from the Dacian border that Rua, King of the Huns, was not only defeating the legions, but was also burning and plundering the tands of the empire. The messenger declares that enemy troops were already on their way to Constantia to declare the will of their master. Searcely a week later, the Theodorus Anthemius—the guardian and wise councilor of the young Emperor—and the three princesses, his sister, awaited the coming of the messengers of King Rua. At Ascension, the Emperor, in the hall, coarse looking men, of gigantic size, with swarthy skins. They wore cloaks of shaggy fur, wolf helmets and barbary ornaments. The royal children, the Princess Pulcheria in particular, regarded them with wide-eyed curiosity. They were attention, who, though, blinded and "These Are But a Handful." Sat nosed like his brother barbarians, posessed an air of superiority that declined to be impressed even by the grandeur of Rome. The *Tocifer* *messenger* threatened in a *tond vole* that unites! *Hunce*-commented, *King Run* power over the lands along the Danube, that he *would*, march CUP SOLDIERS HEER WOOL FOCKS WE CALLED INVOLTED I RAILLE WOOL IN SALOON CATALOG RED DOORS FITTING DIV LITTLE BOY DEEP HAS LOST HER SHEEP INDEED SHEEP T "Worse than eating our overcoats" is the complaint about shipments of cows and ewe lambs from the western states to Canada, which have drawn, heavily on breeding stock. The complaints, however, have stimulated efforts for greater aid by Uncle Sam for the sheep industry. In contrast to Uncle Sam's neglect before the war Canada had begun a systematic campaign to increase her wool production. Sheep thrived on the ranges of Alberta and on the great stretches of virgin prairie awaiting the settler, and the climate NEW REFINERIES IN KANSAS FIELD TWO ARE TO BE BUILT IN EL DORADO AND ONE AT DOUGLASS Two more refineries will be built at El Dorado at once, making seven refineries in all now due or already built. The Fidelity, Refining company of Oklahoma has leased fourteen acres from D. M. Green along the Santa Fe railroad south of that city and will begin at once the erection of a 3,000-barrel refinery. The second new refinery will be located on ten acres of the Clarence King farm, south of El Dorado, and will be of 1,000-barrel capacity. The land is surveyed and material will be on the ground shortly. It will be named the Bliss Refinery. This company's headquarters is Bliss, Okla. It has several refineries in Oklahoma. The Liberty Pipe Line and Refining company will build a refinery at Douglass, Kas, at once on the Hiram Haver farm east of town. Four cars of pipe were unloaded yesterday and string to the field. The Western Refinery at Wichita is interested in the new project. Nesting's favorite hobby is birds and run away, will that another day against the cities of the empire, and would destroy them. "Your demands are great," said Anthemus, "but suppose our lord, the Emperor, should defy your master, King Russet." Before the envoy could reply, the boy whom the Princess Pulchra was obedient so closely squirmed holdly before fib closely and, raising his spear, shouted: "Dogs and children of dogs, ye or no others dare defy Ruas. Make us friends and allies of the Emperor and let us share in your gold and treasure or we will lay your empire in waste. We shall marble the marble floor with all his strength. Anthemus had no time to recover from his astonishment at the impertinence of the young Hun before the Princess Pucheria rose and facing the messengers said in a firm, calm voice: "What right has this bruising boy to the youth answered defiantly, "I am Attila, the son of Munduszk, klinman to Ruas and Rome's deadly enemy." Good Anthemus, inform this wild young lord that the Emperor of Rome hath gold only for his friends and but chains of iron for his enemies. "His master and his command that the arrows of the Hippodrome be parted, that our guests may behold the might and power of our arms." The heavy brocaded curtains of the end of the hall parted and the astonished Huns saw the great Hippodrome of Constanthople, large enough to accommodate the army of the empire in shining armor, with prancing horses at all powerful engines of war. "These are but a handful compared to the vast number of our legions," said the princess. "They are ready to aid ally troops." The princess foes. Would it not be better if your King should become one of the mighty captains of the empire, and yearly be paid many pounds of gold? "You hear the words of the wise young princess, oh, men of the forests," said the princess, "thus, think you, to be a friend of the Emperor and a great general of the empire." Pulchera had found the road that led straight to the hearts of the barbarians. Gold and high military standing meant everything to them. They accepted the terms of Rome and until the invasion of the empire, until the invasion of when Attila—the boy of 12 grown to be a great general at 32—broke the power of the empire. When the messengers had departed, Anthemius said to Pulcheria: "You, my princess, of all the councillors in this broad empire, art best fitted to direct its government. Rule thou in my place." So the Senate decreed that the Princess Pulichera should be Pulichera Augusta, Regent of the East. She wisely counseled Theodotus and directed the affairs of state. At the death of Theodotus, she maries later, Pulichera as the throne woman, and throws the woman to rule as Empress, of the Roman empire. OUR SO WOOL WOOL PAGEANT EXHIBIT THRIVE IN WESTERN CANADA was reported ideal for wool growing. But high prices and large profit to the farmer are credited to the cooperative selling system, endorsed by Secretary Motherwell of the Saskatchewan Department of Agriculture. However, according to reports to Clay, Robinson & Company, a live stock commission house of Chicago and other cities, the great problem lies in the fact that no owes, no matter how old they may be, provided they can go through the winter and raise a lamb next spring, are being shipped out from the western slong of the Rockies.
