The supervisor, Prof. J. P. King, says this commencement will undoubtedly be the greatest in the history of the night school. Those who have been attending these commencements, have not forgotten the very excellent programs rendered by the graduating classes from the various departments but this year has had many new additions of manual training and literary work. The three Night schools in the city are: Sumner, Stowe, and Lincoln of Argentine. The program is free to all. First there, first served. The night school chorus of the three schools combined, is one of the best in the city, regardless of any school organization. DR. DAVIS IN HOSPITAL. Dr. A. Porter Davis, one of the city's prominent physicians, and operates a Sanitarium at 422 Minnesota avenue, was taken to Wheatly hospital last week for an operation. It is said the operation was a serious one, but the doctor withstood the knife remarkably well and is doing as well as could be expected under such a serious operation. His friends feel encouraged to his final release from the sick chamber. CITIZENS' FORUM The Citizens' Forum had a good meeting February 25, at Metropolitan church. Mrs. Blount and Rev. Davis were sponsors of the program. Rev. Davis made a good talk and the music rendered for the occasion was appropriate. President Towers opened the meeting and then let Mrs. Blount preside. Talks were made by Prof. Hodge, principal of Sumner high. Mr. Andrew Wilson and others. When asked for the report of the committee to ask for an organization of a "Parent-Teachers" association for Sumner High, a motion was made to let the High school principal attend to that Next Sunday at 4 p.m. the Forum will have another fine program. All are invited. They are talking of exchanging programs with St. Joe, Mo., soon. President Towers is doing well with the Forum.

A cake was presented to him with 58 candles lighted on it. He was so surprised and rejoiced that large drops of presperation dropped from his face.

He also received many other useful presents. The guests entertained themselves with church hymns and etc. Brick ice cream and cake were served by his daughter and daughter-in-law.

Marc A GOOD MAN HAS BEEN WRIT O. MIDNIGHT. VISITS O SOOTHING MESS TRAVELS THROUGH GULF S ENJOYS BEING WITH Kansas City, Kansas. March 2, 1923 A GOOD MAN HAS BEEN WRONGED, SAYS J. O. MIDNIGHT. VISITS COLLEGE WITH SOOTHING MESSAGE TRAVELS THROUGH GULF STATE IN AUTO. ENJOYS BEING WITH BIG MEN --- --- Miami, Fla., March 1.—Do you see where I am now when I take my pen in hand and ink and paper on the table to write you a few lines to inform you of my health. I am not well at present and hope when these few lines come to hand they may find you the same. When I took my pen in hand to write you a few lines last week I was in Jacksonville, and there the people were striving to keep warm. There were a few things which claimed my attention and it was a pleasure to get in touch with them. Sunday morning I was invited out to Edward Waters college to deliver the message, and I want to assure you that it was indeed soothing, for over two-thirds of the students went to sleep under my message. Well, they were tired, and I don't blame them, for before going to church, the president and that army officer had them to take what they called a hike. Do you know what a hike is? I know that there is some long walking in it and when you get through—well, you are just through. I am of the opinion that the next station would be Shuteyville, Sleep County, Snore state. It was interesting to see Dean Thomas W. Carter, who is also pastor of the college church, trying to blush. He turned bright red in the face. He is a man who was born on the dark of the moon. They are doing good work there. All day Monday was spent in town, and I got much pleasure out of it. I certainly did do some getting around. Called on Editor J. E. Taylor of the Sentinel, saw him putting brains on paper, then to the home of the Rev. Dr. John E. Ford, pastor of Bethel Baptist. Constitutional church, or something like that. It is a beehive so to speak, and his wife is one more busy body. The people were rejoicing over the fact that Charles H. Anderson, the banker who is being persecuted by some of his own people, had been told by a just judge that he was free, and to go on about his business, and it looks like Lawyer Purcell, the man who caused the arrest of Mr. Anderson, the man who has pursued him, and made him go down in his pocket and spend all of his spare change, is going to have a heluva time for some of the lawyers on the other side of the house think that he should not be allowed to practice law because of his methods to kill Young Anderson. Whether this is true or not I am not in position to say, but those who know the moon has changed tell me that the Anderson bank would have paid all of its depositors ere this if it had not been for the continued prosecution of this honorable gentleman. Now, then will come the bank matters in another form, and I am told that if given a chance every fellow will get his money. The people of Jacksonville believe in Charles H. Anderson. I believe in him, and believe that he is honest and has made some mistakes in his efforts to do good. I must not forget to tell you that after that Sunday morning sermon, Dean Carter toted me over to his home, got things in shape, and his congenial wife got on her Sunday go-to-meeting clothes, and soon we were in that lemonade of his headed for Baldwin, where the big Masons were to lay a cornerstone for the A. M. E. church, and they did lay it. In that lemonade, Dr. Carter was at the wheel, and honey it did not take him long to step on it and land us at the church. He preached a wonderful sermon. Dr. T. W. Carter is one of the great preachers of Florida, and he is teaching preachers how to preach as well as how to prepare sermons. You will agree that he is in a good cause. I am glad that I know him. But what else happened? I returned to the home of Dr. H. Y. Tooks, found him looking for me. He was around his own fireside with his wife and daughter. In company with Dr. Carter in that same lemonade, Drs. ADVOCATE Carter and Tools went to Mount Zion A. M. E. church and I remained at home. I knew that there was something up for a day or so later. Now listen to me until I tell you what has happened. Do not get tired of listening. Tuesday morning, bright and early we were up, with our little feet under the table and sent that swimming fish into eternity, and soon Dr. R. A. Grant, who is to be Bishop R. A. Grant, of the African Methodist Episcopal church and one of the finest men in the whole A. M. E. Connection, came along with his real automobile car carriage to tote us just 366 miles, for that is the distance from Jacksonville to the place where I am now. He was happy and full of smiles. Down to the Masonic Temple, where I got out, as did Dr. Tooks. Dr. Grant, was off to get extra wheels or something like that and get oil and gas. While standing there waiting, I saw Bishop Hurst pass in a full car, headed for the same place. I looked, bowed to them, but they did not see me. Two hours later we were joined by Grand Master D. D. Powell, of the Masonic order, and one of the great men of this race of ours. Now here we are four men, none under two hundred pounds ready for the long ride. "We are off," said Dr. Grant when he tooted his tooter on the car, and we roll off across the bridge into East Jacksonville and were soon out of the sound of the city. We did ride some believe me honey, and soon we were in that city of youth, that city where the fountain of perpetual youth is take a dip into it. But just as we were pulling out, we stopped at a stand and tanked up with baked beans fish, drinking stuff called "orange squeeze." Then looking back, said, "Good bye, St. Augustine." There was no speeding, but just a steady go ahead, until we reached Daytona, and there fed the engine again, and pulled right on. I heard them big men talk. They talked high up things, and I am free to tell you that I did not understand all of the things they were talking about, but I just looked wise and knew how to be found, but we did not stop to keep my mouth closed. They talked about Greece, Rome, Gaul, Ramesis, Egypt, Pharoah, and about some other fellows whose names I do not know how to spell. No idle talk, but about mind culture. Then they got on the old time religion. There were two Methodists and two Baptists, and we agreed on the new birth, but did not go into the water business. We pushed on and on until 4 o'clock the next morning when we landed in West Palm Beach, and took a rest there until 10:30 that morning, and reached this place about 1 o'clock. I fear I will not have time and space to describe the scenery. Getting in town, I went to the parsonage and Rev. Thomas Calhoun, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, for I am here to attend conference, assigned me to stop with Dr. K. L. Pharr, who is the leading planter of this section of the country, and a thorough business man. He was crowded at his home, but arranged for me to have a room at the palatial Dorsey hotel, one of the wealthiest and busiest men in this section of the country. He had erected from the ground up, a three-story hotel building covering a half block. Believe me when I tell you it is a real hotel, baths and everything else. Mr. Dorsey is a man who has made good in this world. He is a man of wonderful influence, and is a worker in the Baptist church and directly interested in everything that means good for us. Miss Alice McWhite is the house keeper, and believe me honey, she is a woman who knows the business. She is just making friends, and she just looks after the comfort of all the guests, old and young, rich and poor, male and female. It seems that she was born for that work. (Continued on Page 4.) THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER A DELEGATE TO WASHINGTON D. C. Mrs. H. G. Dwiggins has been appointed by Governor Jonathan Davis of Kansas, as a delegate to represent the State at the National Educational Congress which convenes in Washington, D. C., March 5th to 9th. Her subject for discussion will be "How can the Church, Home and School aid in Checking the Criminal Tendencies of Our Youth."

P. as she was not only an efficient secretary of the Kansas City Branch for a number of years, but did much to keep an interest aroused in the other branches of the State and her work has touched every phase of uplift among our people. She leaves for Washington Friday morning. NEW COURT OF CALANTHE WILL BE ORGANIZED SATURDAY NIGHT.

Anthony will be present to assist in the work and also examine any, who have not been to see him. Let every candidate be on time at promptly 8:30 p. m. NORENE DAVIS, Grand Worthy Councillor COLORADO MEN HERE IN INTEREST OF T. B. HOSPITAL. Mr. M. W. Lindsy and Mr. Alex Miller, two prominent citizens of Colorado Springs, Colo., are in the city in the interest of a Tubercular hospital for colored people, that is trying to be erected in that city for the care of those of the race, who have fallen victims to the dreaded white plague. The white sanitarium at the Springs does not admit colored, therefore the hundreds of colored who go there with the hopes of receiving treatment and at least have a chance to drive out this life destroying disease, find themselves wholly dependent on the mercy of the few colored who live there, to give them a room, in their homes and look after themselves, until they either get well or die. It is said that many succumb to this disease on account of proper and necessary attention. These two gentlemen are sent out by the organization and hope to get the people interested to the needs of this hospital. Alpha Art Club will meet with Mrs. Caraway this Friday. Sheba Chapter had a bazaar Tuesday all day at the Masonic hall, Ninth and Washington boulevard. Dr. P. D. Davis has been reported as sick. Mrs. A. S. Dow is somewhat indisposed. Mrs. Lottie Williams is sick in bed at her home, 1309 North Tenth st. Miss Cora Jones is now stopping at Mrs. Hattie Berry's. Mrs. Janie Dorsey of Chicago, who came to attend Mr. Hardy, her brother-in-law's funeral, left Thursday for her home in Chicago. Mr. Clarence Jenkins on Nebraska avenue, is better from his illness. Mr. Perry Warner, Past Deputy Grand Master of Masons of Omaha, Neb., has just returned from Liberia, Africa, via New Orleans and stopped in Kansas City at Mr. C. A. Long's enroute to his home in Omaha. Mrs. H. Douglass, 2054 North Sixth street, who has been quite sick, is improving nicely of which her friends will be glad to hear. Number 29 YATES BRANCH Y. W. C. A. DOING FINE WORK The public generally is not aware of the activity of the Yates Branch Y. W. C. A. in all of its branches. The present secretary, Miss Amy Hall, is thoroughly equipped from the standpoint of intelligence and training, to which is added an agreeable and appealing personality, backed up by vigor and determination. One primary object of the association is to maintain and elevate the status of the girls and women of the race, wherever they may be found, working out the problems of existence which destiny day by day calls upon them to solve. One phase of activity is assigned to the Industrial committee, of which Mrs. Norene Davis is chairman. The work of this committee is to carry to women who work in big industrial plants a message of cheer, encouragement and congratulation. At present, for causes absolutely prohibitive, the work is restricted to the Armour plant, where weekly programs are being furnished during the lunch period. The committee is levying tribute upon talent wherever it be found available to help out in its work. On February 22, through the magnanimity of Manager Jerry Mills and his players, who donated their services, and Rev. D. A. Holmes and Mr. Dave Allen, who provided free transportation, the workers were given one of the finest entertainments in the history of the service. Of the "Follow Me" company Mr. Ernest R. Whitman, baritone; Miss Irene Young, lyric soprano; Miss Jennie Dancey, contralto; the quartette, Thornton, Burton, Vaughn, Crawford, and Stanley R. Bennert, pianist, all contributed of their best and never did they have a more appreciative audience. Prior to 1914 the number of colored women working in the packing houses were negligible, but now they are in the majority, and the management has under consideration plans for increased facilities for their welfare. A partial tour of the plant after being served with hot coffee made indeed a red-letter day in the history of the company. KAW VALLEY BOARD MEETS The Kaw Valley District Board meeting at Eighth Street Baptist was a great success. Rev. Young of Topeka acted Moderator. Some of the many present were Rev. Jackson of Lawrence, Rev. Kyles, Rev. Mosely, Rev. D. A. Holmes, Miss M. Bradshaw of Topeka and others whose names we did not get. Metropolitan gave $25, the most money of any church. Rev. Bowren, state president, and all of the 8 or 10 Baptist churches here, were represented. EIGHTH ST. BAPTIST CHURCH Mrs. S. A. Fitzhugh had a nice program for the Cradle Roll of her church. Rev.

U. and fifteen in the Sunday school work, Sunday, at the Metropolitan Baptist Temple. Mr. J. C. Branch has been on the sick list but is improved at this writing. Mr. Jefferson, one of Metropolitan's staunch members, died at Phoenix, Arizona, where he had gone for his health. The Ladies' Aid Society of the Metropolitan Baptist Temple met with Mrs. Lulu Roberts at 929 Nebraska avenue. They had a fine meeting. Dean Vaughan is still confined to Douglass Hospital but is improving slowly. He has been a very sick man and his many warm friends will be delighted to know he is on the mend. Mr. Booth Smith, who has been ill for some time, is doing very nicely, but is yet at Douglass hospital. He may be released soon. The K. P. banquet that was held last Wednesday evening, February 21, was attended by more than seven hundred. Mr. Squire Lee and his wife and their son, Charles, all have been down with illness, at their home, 1050 Freeman avenue, but all are up now about the house.

Mr. Lee Summers, who has been sick for several months, is able to be out on the streets of which his friends are delighted to see. "TRY IT AGAIN!" Here's to the chap, With the smile on his map, Though Fortune has dealt him a thunderous rap And knocked him clean down on the rear of his lap Whose only remark is, "Gee whiz, what a slap! I'll try it again!" I'm there with the guy With the gleam in his eye, Though Fate has let loose a stiff punch in the eye, And has scattered his pride all over the sky, Whose only retort is, "Doggone it if I Don't go ye again!" I'm strong for the brick With the courage to stick, Though Failure has hounded him like the Old Nick, And camped on his trail when the going was thick, Who cries out at last, "Now I'm on to the trick!" "Let's try 'er agin!" The "Flu" was raging and everybody was wearing face masks. "Well," said a man known for his crabbedness, "I'm an old man, but I have lived my time and am ready to quit. I have lived to see four great things come to pass—the end of the war, the churches closed, the seloons left open, and the women muzzled." THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH J. F.

The Sunday school had its usual large attendance at 9:30, having a fine review of the lesson. The pulpit was filled by the assistant pastor, dean Jones, who delivered a splendid sermon, which was greatly enjoyed by his hearers. At the close the pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin opened the doors of the church and seven came forward and joined, three young men acknowledging Christ and some half dozen or more coming up for the prayers of the church. It was a Holy Ghost service. The pastor preached a most powerful sermon at the evening service to a fine audience and six more united with the church of which four were converts. The campaign drive of a house to house canvass for souls is bringing wonderful results, many being converted in their homes and others coming into the church. The second quarterly meeting for this conference year will take place the second Sunday in this month, March 11. Dr. Griffin delivered the communion sermon last Sunday afternoon, at Allen chapel, Kansas City, Mo., a large representation from First church attended. Prof. J. A.

Come out tonight to class. Come out Sunday and hear Dr. Griffin. Visitors and friends always have a warm welcome. History Professor—"When did the revival of learning begin?" Johny—"Just before the exams." THE AMATEUR LAWYER. Second-Story Mike had insisted that he have the right to cross-examine in person the plaintiff against him in a recent case in Los Angeles. "Where was you when yer house was busted into?" he roared. "In bed." "What did yer do?" "I jumped out of bed and looked for the burglar." "Did you find him?' "Yes. I saw him and chased him." "How far did yer chase me?" thundered Mike. And he is still wondering how it happens that the trial stopped right there. "Why keep that school girl complexion?" asked the Senior, as he brushed off his coat lapel. SONG SONG Love, honeyed rose, breathing flower for all! But for me my tears, at her knees! The bee May find a ruby cup, a dazzling breast, To hover o'er, which the rapt bird sings to—for me The heart never to be possessed! the cold, sweet eyes! The 'moonlight beauty, passionless o'er my sighs! —Ethel L. Cox. HER ERROR. "What do you suppose has come over my husband this morning, Sophia?" exclaimed a conscientious little bride to the new servant. "I never saw him start down town so happy. He's whistling like a bird." "I'm to blame, mum; I got the packages mixed this morning, and instead of giving him oatmeal, I cooked the bird seed." THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES On this Sabbath a host of people in the Temple listened to a fine exposition of God's Word. After an organ voluntary of the spirituelle, "My God What a Morning." and prayer by Rev. A. J. Thatcher, of Arkansas, Miss Burk of Sumner High read a good paper on the Sunday School, which Pastor Bronson praised. It being the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Installation Day, the middle section of seats was decorated with a purple and white canopy of lattice work, and reserved for members of those two departments. Pastor Bronson gave a fine sermon on "The Child, the Church and the Sunday School." He told how they brought children to Christ and His disciples rebuked Him, but He said: "Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Again he said that Christ said: "Whoever shall not receive the Kingdom as a little child shall not see the Kingdom of God." He portrayed Christ as a great teacher of mankind, tho not a graduate of any school. He made a vivid picture of the throng pressing to get where Jesus was, and impressed the large congregation with the anxiety not only that it was Christ our Lord and Master, but it was God. His sermon was a great plea to win young and old folks to Sunday School. He also said, "Carrying children to school to learn of worldly people is good, but when we bring children to learn of Jesus Christ it is the very best." We must train the youth in civilization and in the church. "Christian parents are partners with God, asking what God wants done with their children." Let's get hold of the children in S. S. and B. Y. P. U. as they are our future church. The choir sang "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah," which was as beautiful as any song sung. Then Pastor Bronson took as his text, "Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Ghost; Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matt. 28:19-20.) and he certainly preached it. One main thought he gave was "Men, who play with the world can't teach God's word. He advised all to get and bring children into God's (incubator) the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. of the church. TRINITY A. M. E. CHURCH. Fourth and Stewart. S. D. RHONE. PASTOR.

You are cordially welcome to attend all of these services. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH A. Bowren, D. D., Pastor Sunday school, 9:30 a.m.; preaching, 11 a.m., and 8 p.m. B. Y. P. U., 6:30 p.m. Prayer and praise service, Wednesday, 8 p.m. The services were very good all day with splendid attendance at all services. The Sabbath School under the wise and proficient leadership of Prof. S. D. Scruggs, Jr., is forging rapidly to the 100 per cent mark in efficiency. At 11 a. m. Pastor Bowren delivered a most excellent, practical and spiritual sermon from I Cor. 12:31. Subject: "God's Way to Happiness and Peace." "And yet shew I unto you a more excellent way." One of the first names given to the Christian religion was "The Way." The expression occurs several times in the Book of the Acts, and was generally used by Jew and Gentile. It is a beautiful name, and suggests the practical character of the religion of Jesus. It was recognized from the start as a way of life, not a theory, but a life to be lived. The church in Corinth was a lamentable condition. It was torn by dissensions and bitter strife. The very things which God had given the Corinthians for their advancement had been used to bring about their undoing. Heaven's gifts are bestowed that we may build one another up. The Corinthians used their gifts to pull one another down. They had knowledge but it made them overbearing. Paul sets himself to get them out of the ditch into which they have fallen. He reminds them in asking for God's gifts it is wise to ask for the highest, those which build our fellowmen, up and then he says: "Let me show you a more excellent way, a still higher path. This path is love, without love all gifts of every sort are useless." Unless men love there can be no genuine progress. No matter what men possess, even tho they be the things upon which mankind sets the highest value. There is no deliverance from the world's tragedies except thru love. Here the minister quoted the whole thirteenth chapter of I Corinthians. The whole world today has become a Corinth on a vast and distressing scale. There is less harmony in the world today than when the armistice was signed. Men in every country are thinking and talking peace but there is no peace. The fact is the world is desperately sick, physical force will not bring peace. We must fall back on love. The spirit of love is the only spirit and efficient weapon to save from ruin. This excellent way is a way of Holiness, Peace, Truth, Sobriety. The B. Y. P. U. led by Group 4. the Live Wire Girls, gave a wide awake program. Mr. Junius Gray of Gray Printing company, gave a splendid address from the subject: "Am I my Brother's Keeper." Dorothy Moberly's select reading, "Not Fit to Know," was graciously given and heartily received and applauded. Dorothy is one of the lively "Live Wire" girls. At 8:00 p. m. the pastor preached from Matt. 11:30. Stressing the thought that to be yoked fellows with Christ is not grievous but helpful if we are willing to go His way and not ours. The beautiful flowers were in memory of a faithful and useful member, Sister Lulu Ish, given by Mrs. Lena B. Downs. Many visitors were present. A hearty welcome awaits all who attend our services.

Two united with the church, Mr. and Mrs. Lane. At 3 p. m. Rev. Mr. Long delivered the communion sermon to a fine audience, taking his text from Matthew 26:44: It was a fine sermon. An unusual number took the Lord's Supper at this service. Presiding Elder J. S. Payne filled the pulpit at the evening service, tak his text from Acts 5:15. Subject: "Man's Unconscious Influence." The many good listeners drank in the words from this great Christian minister, and the day closed with real thanksgiving to the Lord of Lords. The choir rendered splendid music all day which was lifting to the souls of men. The Sabbath School is taking on new life with much interest in the lessons each Sunday morning. The Allen League is still growing and the faithful and earnest hearted ones, are praying for a great league.

Cook, Pastor 337 Oakland Ave. Sunday morning we had a lovely Sabbath School and the children are striving very zealously to master their lessons. All parents should see to their young ones being at their post every Sunday morning, and then come themselves sometimes. It helps and encourages the child wonderfully. At 11 a. m. the Pastor, Rev. Cook ascended the rostrum, read an opening lesson after singing a hymn. He presented to us Rev. Brother Groves, one of our young ministers and he preached a lovely short sermon which seemed to penetrate his hearers through and through. Text, John 8:12. After which Brother Cook arose and in his skillful way preached Christ from infancy to manhood. Taking for his text Matthew 26:39. He vividly painted the pictures of our Saviour so indelibly in our minds. The Master's works and His ignominious death. It was very touching. The Bible band at 6:30 p. m. was nicely attended and a wonderful lesson read and discussed. At 10 minutes of S o'clock the choir began singing "Come to Jesus," and two other selections, one jubilee number included, after which Brother Groves being presented by the pastor, broke the bread of life to us again for the second time. Brother Cook closed the service, talking about Elijah and finally closed with the judgment and extending the invitation to those unsaved. Our door stands ajar ever to welcome those who might care to worship with us. Visiting elders are especially invited. This week marks the beginning of our revival conducted by Rev Mrs. Queen Hawkins and husband from St. Louis, Mo. Every one should come out and hear these two wonderful gospel trumpeters.

Southern Rhodesia has become the “African Newfoundland,” politically, by the recent vote of its people not fo enter the Union of South Africa but to become instead a separate unit in the British empire. Adjoining the Unicn on the north, the region had come to be considered in this country ais having something ike the status of our one-time territories; and it was thought to be a foregone cunclu- sion that just as the United States, a generation or so ago, reached out to the west and made its territories inte States, the Union of Seuth Afvicn would reach northward and inco-pe- ‘rate its Jrontier rexions, ‘Technicnity the Union has no definite clain on the British colonies, protectorares sind regions more or Tess under Trit’sh ‘control that He to the north: but it wbas boasted that it is “heir to all South Africa.” and even thonzh South- sem -Rthodesia stays out, it is not im- probable that other regions in the ‘neighborhood may join in the future. Rhodesia is in many ways in a con- dition of development comparahie to that of some of the western prairie "states when they entered our Union. “Only trunk-line railroads have been constructed, for the most part: the elose network of the well-leveloped country is yet to come Highways, too, are still few and poor. Both pro- duction and markets are largely un- developed, and the farmers and ranch- men necessarily live the somewhat hard and primitive lives of the fron- tler. In recent years, however, Vic- toria (capital of Southern Rhodesia). Bulawayo, Salisbury and other towns have developed Into modern munici- palities with all the conveniences of the western world. Stil other similarities- between Southern Ithodesia and some portions of the United States lie in ‘physical cpnditions snd climate. The country is a plateau region, dry and hot dur- ing thé sonthern summer, but with a reasonable rainfall, usually during ,other portions of the year. But at times it has its severe droughts. Owned by a Corporation. In one war Southern Rhodesia {s without yiarailel In the United States, for nothing approaching ownership of an empire by a commercial corpora- tion has ever come up in our history. In fact, in the extent to which such control has gone, Southern Rhodesia, together with Northern Rhoilesia and adjacent territories, stands alone even in. British experience, which contains the stirring history of the East India company’s exploits in India. ‘The region, nearly half a million square miles in extent, became, through concessions from a native chief, a royal charter from the British crown, and conquest, virtually the pri- vate property of the British South Africa company, of which Cecil Rhodes was the moving spirit. The company, as nifght be expected of any developmental enterprise, sold land. leased mineral rights, and built rall- roads and other engineering works. But besides all this it actually gov-" ered the country, though In- late years the Imperia) government has as- sumed some measure of control over the company’s governmental activities. ‘Now a mining, ranching and agricul- | tural country, Southern Rhodesia may also have a future as a manufactur. ing tegion. On its northern border flows the Zambest river with its Vic- toria Falls of great volume, more than twice the helzht of Niagara, promising abundant power. Not far from the falls are extensive coal fields. Its People and Topography. ‘The “natives of Southern Rhodesia, numbering some 800.000, are in the anomalous position of having no offi- cial political status. They have arift- ed, or like Topsy, have “Just growed,” into thelr present condition. They fiave never. been formally made Brit- ish subjects, though British control hes been extended over the country. See Deere Seekers, Se eine cre circ et te Jects of the British South Africa com, pany. ‘The company Jas all along llc claim to ownership of the lands or which the natives live except the areas receitly set apart a8 reserva Hons. The white population of the country numbers about 30.000. Though at present separate govern. ‘mentally, the two Rhodesias demand consideration together. They repre- sent together the field of activities of Cecil Rhodes’ South Africa company and have considered uniting, though for the present at least the idea has been given up. The two Rhodeslas make up a region shaped like a but- terfly. Southern Rhodesia forms the left wing, while Northem Rhodesia forms both the right wing and the tail, the latter stretching up to the region of Africa’s Great Lakes, Both regions Hie wholly within the trapies, but Northern Rhodesia ex- tends farther into the theoretical hot country. Owing to its high altitude. however, “Its temperature is not s0 high as might be expected. While Southern Hthodesia has a white population of about 35,000 and a native population of something over 750,000, Northern Rhodesia has Tess than 4,000 whites and nearly 9 mil- lion blacks. It is still the happy hunt- ing ground for the human geographer, where he may study the effects of a plateau region upon remote tribes that have been little sffected by the en- croachments of the white man. ‘The illusion thut sll savage peoples do pretty much us they please is dis- pelled upon a cursory examination of a legal system that has penalties of mutilation for minor offenses, whose Judges must fold their hands in a cer- tain way when they try cases, and where every native male inevitably hecomes something of a lawyer. since the daily public trials -furnish the principal village divertissements. Customs of the Natives. The quips at woman's extravagance in dress, and the variability of modes. which often provide the Inevitable topical song at American musical shows, find their prototypes in the minstrelsy of a Wemba swain whose metrical plaint is, “O woman, you are like a greedy wagtail, pecking up al you can get.” But a “mother-in-law” joke in this tribe would result disas- trously ‘for its perpetrator. So grent is the reverence shown this relative that a husband must step aside ont of the path if he meets her abroad. Should he come upon her unawares, he must bow his head, cast his eyes upon the ground, and not dare look at her, Nor may he address her at all until after his first child is born, Women anoint their bodies with cas- tor oil, they whiten thelr faces with chalk at new-moon time, but the va- Tiety of ways they dress their hair also is a subject for native humor. Deformation of their teeth forms an- other adornment; but the practice which their husbands complain about is their penchant for acquiring rings and bracelets. The latter range from hands of copper to spirals of metal that reach from wrist to elbow, and similar devices used as anklets, * With the ever-increasing overflow of civilized peoples, Northern Rhodesia soon may be pre-empted by colonists: Indeed, the movement of natives to reserves may indicate that such an in. flow already is taking place.

Originally Euphemia meant both far speech and abstinence from the reverse, su that from an ironical standpoint It-signitied silence, and was applied to the still hess that prevailed during reiigious rites, The first Euphemia who gave vogue to the name was a virgin martyr of Bithynia, whose legend »f constancy made her popular in both the East and the West. Russia called her Jevfimija; she was Jema in Servin. and Bema and Bimmie in other lands. Scotland however, adopted the name and straightway called her Effie Phomie was also Scottish but did not attain the popularity of the former, However, neither Effie nor Phomle which have been prevalent since those early times, can ever be forgotten be cause of the finest works of Sir Walter Scott. Heroines of fiction, written by the masters of literature, find thelr names as immortalized as heroines of history and Effie is no exception to this general rule. It was once thought that the Scot- tish name Euphame was one of the Greek names brought from Hungary by Queen Margaret. Others believed that it came from the Keltic Aoiffe which has fostered so many of our present-day feminine names. In- deed, those so inclined may take their choice of possible sources, though gen- eral credence is more often given to the first derivation, since it concerns a religieuse and In olden days, it would seem that being martyred was all that was needed to perpetuate one’s name through the centuries. : In the Scottish Highlands, Effie Is called Olghrigh, a name which seems to have no derivation whatever. The Church of Santa Eufemia at Rome gives title to a cardinal and through it the name hns spréad in popularity In Italy and France.

On the first floor you will find a first-class restaurant, bakery, drug store, with branch post office, and the place that impressed me more than all the others was the Dorsey Beauty Parlor, owned and operated by Mrs. D: A. Dorsey, with Mrs. Tero Blake in charge, and she is a wonderful woman. Mrs. Dorsey is a refined, cultured woman, well educated and is the wife of her husband, and right by his side when it comes to business. She carries high grade toilet articles, does the Violet Ray treatment, scalp and skin disease, and hand made hair goods of all kinds. Well, such is Miami and the business people are many. I have talked about this place before now. The South Florida conference is in session here, and men are getting in line. They elected as delegates to the general conference Revs. S. A. Harris, J. J. Harris, S. W. Adair, R. B. Brookins, S. J. Johnson, E. J. Jackson and the laymen are Dr. W. A. Chapman and H. A. Hagler, and I tell you if the other men who want to be elected to general conference honors want the Florida vote they had just as well combine with Dr. R. A. Grant. He is the son of Florida and the man of the hour. The Dollar Money raised by this conference is as follows: Miami district, R. B. Brookins, presiding elder, $2,072, increase $202; Daytonia district, J. J. Harris, presiding elder, $1,720.80, increase $127; Orlando district, S. A. Harris, presiding elder, $1,834, increase $158; Palatka district, A. W. Adair, presiding elder, $1,637, increase $118. Total raised, $7,263.80. That's going some, and all the people are proud of the good work being done by Bishop John Hurst. Rev. A. L. Gaines, of Baltimore, Md., is down here fixing up his fences. J. O. MIDNIGHT. mg among women has been taken out of the realm of manners. It is not ill-bred for women to smoke. It is a matter of personal taste. You may object to smoking, just as you may object to any other form of amusement. The mother who does not wish her daughters to smoke should talk to them about it. She can hardly, in these days, take offense if somebody asks them to smoke. However, the really thoughtful woman, the woman more thoughtful of others, would never suggest that a young girl smoke unless she knew that the girl customarily did so.

The salesman showed them several kinds, but nothing seemed to suit. "Let us understand one another," the salesman finally said, "What is this cloth to be used for? Exactly what, in short, is it to cover?" "Church cushions," said a committeeman. "Oh, I see," the salesman said, "In that case, of course, you want a cloth with a nap on it." GIVEN OUT.
