Walter White, assistant secretary, read several messages and telegrams one from President Coolidge, a message of more than ordinary weight, also a fatherly message from the aged National President, Moorefield Storey, of Boston, who did not feel able to make the trip. The Rt. Rev. W. T. Vernon, Bishop of the A. M. E. church, South Africa, addressed the conference. Subject assigned: "The Migration as a Factor in Solving the Race Problem." The Bishop was at his best and showed in non-argumental words the cause of Negro migraion of the South, such as disfranchisement, Jimcrowism, peonage, lynching and injustice in the courts. Liberty is what they want, said the scholarly Bishop. Lester A. Walton, New York City, special staff correspondent the New York World, made an address on the same subject. Mr. Walton having traveled extensively through the South, in the interest of the World, as to the race problem, brought to the minds of a thinking audience, other logical causes, in this migration of the race of the southland.

At the meeting of the League Tuesday evening, plans were adopted to have the Churches take up and present the matter of Boy's Week, on Sunday September 9, at which time the particulars, of what will be the program for the week. One feature was settled as a part of the work, and that is to provide some plan by which someone will stand Sponsor for the Boys who are paroled and discharged from the industrial institutions of the state. Business Week also came in for a goodly share of commendation. This feat is looked forward to, as becoming an Epoch in our material progress. By and through it, we hope to create new ideas, new notions and start lines of progress, which will continue to grow. Keep your ear to the ground for "Soundings" of "Business Week." The Emancipation committee reported "progress—and asked for further time." Each member was flushed with pride and hope for the coming meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. and everything pointed to the success of this, the greatest of our assemblys. Mr. John Chenneth, a prominent business man of Wichita, is here attending N. A. A. C. P. Conference, as a delegate. Cape Town, August 26.—William E. ("Pussyfoot") Johnson, concluded his tour of the wine-farming district with great meetings at Cape Town. He addressed a crowded colored audience one night and was received with bands, banners and choirs. He emphasized the boon that prohibition had been to the colored race of America, encouraging as it had, thrift and regular working habits. A colored speaker named Baron was enthusiastically applauded when he said that if the colored people had their way, they would have prohibition in South Africa tomorrow. One day they would push the Europeans into prohibition. At the final meeting in Cape Town, the chairman stated that South Africa was ready for prohibition. The immediate object, however, was to put the plan of local option into operation. With a little more pressure on members of Parliament, he expected this would be done. Mr. Johnson said that he had never had a more orderly meeting in his life and he now knew what a South African welcome meant. Mr. White, traveling secretary of the N. A. C. P., was one of the first to arrive. The Sewing Circle of Metropolitan Church were entertained Monday night by one of Mrs. A. Allsbrook's programs, and the B. Y. P. U. had a lawn social at Garner's Grove Tuesday night. The Trustees' wives of Metropolitan are serving meals Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at their church for the N. A. A. C. P. delegates.

Atlanta, Ga., August 30.—Representative Bennett of Dodge County, who introduced a bill in Georgia Legislature, providing for the reestablishment of whipping in the state penittentiaries, appeared before the committee in behalf of the measure. The treatment of Negro convicts in the prisons and convict camps had become so notorious that former Governor Hardwick ordered whipping discontinued. Representative Bennet is anxious to have whipping made lawful. "The convicts," urged the Representative, "are becoming sullen, stubborn and uncontrollable since whipping was outlawed in this state. All Negroes must be kept in constant fear of the lash and those who are confined as criminals, especially." KEOKUK, IOWA, RECEIVES RECOR TOR WITH OPEN ARMS.

NEXT PLACE OF MEETING New York City, August 27.—It is over, and here I am in big New York, but that is wrong, for when you read this letter I will be en route to California; and you will say I am the most ridingest man in America jumping from the Atlantic to the Pacific. I am told but what that means I do not know, but I do know I am going from New York to California and then some for I have promised to go to Ogden, Utah. I started out by saying it is over, and the question may come in your mind, "What does he mean?" I mean the greatest session of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, ever held, has closed and the representatives, the soldier men, the members of the Supreme Court of Calanthe, have about gone home, for many of them beat it to Chicago, while others went to other places of their choice. Supreme Chancellor, Smith W. Green has demonstrated that he is indeed a great leader and organizer of men, and he is a man who believes in right, in law and order, and when it comes to law he will execute it if it strikes his father, and then shed a few tears, but law must be obeyed seems to be in his mind. He draws no line, and the hammer of the law falls on all alike, from Su- KANSAS PYTHIANS RETURN FROM SUPREME SESSION AND NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT. 8000 Housed For 8 Days in White City. Two Mammoth Parades—12 Bands The Twenty-second Session of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias and the Twelfth National Encampment of the Uniform Rank, braved the great metropolis city of America, New York, from August 25 for a ten-day stay and as far as Kansas was concerned, all got out and back home not much worse of the wear, only a much shrinkage in the pocketbook. The Sessions of both bodies, men and women, were largely attended and no changes were made of any note in either body of officers. Two Jurisdictions were reinstated. Missouri, who was suspended two years ago, and Virginia, that has been on the suspended list for a decade. Both of these jurisdictions submitted to the law and now are under the protection of the Supreme body. While the camp site was the best that could be secured, it was far from being an ideal one, but the 8,000 housed at Baychester and Boston Road made the rough way smooth. Tuesday night hundreds of thousands all through Harlem witnessed the Madigra parade, with 5,000 marching, carrying red and green lights, each division led by a band. Friday the full dress parade took place down in the city, when 8,000, in ten divisions and 14 bands marched through Seventh avenue and Fifth avenue, the latter street where only a few organizations are permitted to parade. Each division was led by officers mounted on cavalry horses. It was estimated that 500,000 viewed the line of march. It was said by press and public to be the finest and largest display of any parade that has been in New York for many years. Major General Robert R. Jackson and his staff leading, mounted, received many applauses, as did every division passing. Kansas come in for her share BY HER Number 3 IURCH ESSION AND NATIONAL KES NEW YORK BY J. O. MIDNIGHT Supreme Worthy Counsellor, Earnest G. Tidrington, of Evansville, Ind., is another great personage, and he is standing right by the side of Green, because he is next man in order, being the vice. It would take a whole paper for me to tell you about this wonderful session, so I will just strike here and there and put my pen down and go to sleep. I am sure first of all you have been wondering about Missouri and some of you have been asking about Virginia. All the grand lodges in the world are walking side by side now. There is no North, no South, no East, no West, but one solid supreme lodge. Virginia is shouting, "Free at last." I do not know just what they mean by that, but I do know that they have returned to the fold, and have stopped spending money for law suits, trying to kill the head and let the tail live, a thing impossible. The Supreme Lodge had its opening in way of reception and addressess of welcome August 20, but I will not take time to tell you about the addresses, but will say that there is much credit due Grand Chancellor Lee Crawford, and he is now in the hearts of all men, and it doth not yet appear what it shall be. He was placed on the Pythian Temple Commission. He is a great man, and I would say that Miss Johnson, the Grand Worthy Counsellor, is a great worthy woman. So much for them. Tuesday morning, th Supreme Lodge was called to order and the big man was commissioned to take up the get-by word. When this was (Continued on Page 4.) being in the Fifth division, with Brigadier Generals Carter, of Maryland, Norman of Alabama and Thos. Kennedy and their staffs led by Atlanta, Georgia band. Those who attended the Supreme Session and Encampment from Kansas were Grand Chancellor Dr. S. H. Thompson and family, Kansas City; Prof. R. H. Wade and wife; Attorney J. H. Guy and wife, Topeka; Col. N. W. Thatcher, Kansas City; Supreme representatives, Brigadier General Thos. Kennedy, Kansas City, Grand Worthy Counsellor Norene Davis, and Supreme Lecturer, Kansas City, Miss Bertha Garrett, Supreme Representative, Leavenworth, Col. Chas. Carroll, Leavenworth, Col. Chas. Slaughter, Capt. H. J. Messley, Lieut. Lewis Bolar, Sgt. Richard Brown, Sir Knight Holliday, Kansas City; Col. Wm. Hurd, Junction City, Sir Knight Wm. Campbell, Moran, Kansas; Sir Knight R. W. Logan and wife, Sir Chiles and Sir Pearson, Topeka; and Sir Knight Pearson and wife of Kansas City. The route taken to New York and return was over the Chicago and Alton to Chicago, Wabash by the way of Detroit to Buffalo, through Canada and over the Lakawanna through the Delaware Water Gap over the Allegheny to New York, crossing the Hudson river at Hoboken, New Jersey. The party joined the Chicago special Friday morning the 17th at Chicago, which was made up with Pullmans, six day coaches and baggage car, with an observation pullman and dining car. Arriving at Detroit the Pythians there entertained the party for an hour with their band and the Chicago 1st Regiment of 65 pieces rendered several selections. Detroit then joined the special with two pullmans. The party returned by the same route. Major Ernest Green and party passed through here the first of the week on their way back to Wilberforce in their auto and stopped a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Garvin on Everett avenue. MRS. M. C.

S. Mayfield, pastor. On last Sunday, August 26, we were all graced with a lovely and bright day, and the Sunday School was well attended, at 11:25 a. m. the pastor began with his morning service, and it was enjoyed by all. The program was carried out very nicely. Mr. Flewellin, a member of the W. N. I. A. made a lovely speech. He said many good things. In his statement he said that the Negro was led wrong to start with, and said that everybody as a child of God should be one in Christ and all in one church. The pastor preached a short sermon and he said many good things to all. The rally was very nicely attended and many visitors were present. About 3:30 P. M. evening services started. After several spiritual songs and prayers, the pastor introduced Professor F. M. Bragg to read a paper on Leadership. It was fine. Professor Braggs made a short speech in connection to the paper.

The pews are being installed as rapidly as possible, and the pastor says "Whenever we do get upstairs again, he is going to preach as he never did preach before." Many love to hear him preach and say, when he does preach he can't be beaten. The church will triumph, if they serve God right, and don't have too much unnecessary expense. Pastor Bronson urged all to attend the N. A. A. C. P. at First A. M. E church Friday and at Second Baptist Friday night and at Convention Hall Sunday afternoon.

The services were splendid on last Sabbath, beginning with the Sabbath School, over which our efficient Superintendent presided. Some visitors described the Sunday School as it appeared to them, as "A Bee Hive" with no drones in it. The faithful teachers led on by the Superintendent has purchased some small chairs and tables around which the teachers and scholars assemble and there they talk, teach, like a family, the scene is very impressive. A modern idea but one destined to bring pupil and teacher in a closer relation and I'm sure the children enjoy it. Well has the wise man said "Say not thou what is the cause that the former days were better than these, for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning them." Eccl. 7:10. The cry and pressing need is for more consecrated efficient workers. Who will sya "Here am I, send me." Eleven a. m. the pastor brought to us a burning message that edified the hearts of the christians and a sinner was happily converted and put on Christ by baptism during the evening service. Text Prov. 4:18. But the path of the just is as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. By way of contrast the minister read the 19th verse of same chapter. There is a perfect day ahead of the people of God. Imperfections are manifest all around us. Christians have cloudy and sunshiny days, but after all things are made perfect by our Lord and Master there'll be no more cloudy skies. (1) Character. (2) The way or path. A good man is a just man in state. Our justification is in Christ. Don't get off on this matter of justification. We are justified through Jesus Christ's death on the cross. Christ is our substitute through his amazing mercy and love the old account was settled. A hearty welcome at First Baptist MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH Kansas City, Kansas. Rev. E. M.

As usual a large gathering of members and friends attended our morning services. The Sunday School was very lively managed by our worthy Superintendent, Brother W. T. Thomas, who tries to see that every class learns something from the lesson taught by his able teachers. Rev. E. M. Moseley gave space for his young minister, Brother S. Thorton, who preached from Acts. 1, 8th verse, subject: "Be a Testimoney for Christ." He gave great stress on the value of a true testimony, all cases both temporal and spiritual. He pointed out the urgent need of a testimony to affirm a fact, and the requirement of witnesses of today to help carry out God's purpose. A great lesson was learned by his discourse and many felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in the building. The pastor gave the closing remarks touching the different kinds and classes of witnesses at the trial of Jesus. Our speaking meeting was spiritually represented Sunday evening and we were proud of our many visitors who testified with us for Jesus. We had a great spiritual meeting. Rev. McNeal gave the closing talk and we enjoyed his remarks. The pastor preached from Matt. 27.1 for our communion service. He gave great stress on the gathering of the counsel to destroy the innocent blood. We enjoyed a great spiritual feast before communion. Three additions to the church and three sinners came forward for prayer in the morning service. The financial collections were good. We are going to send our pastor to the National Convention at Los Angeles, September 1. Brother R. Vandike, our former deacon and clerk, has returned to Kansas City again to stay. We welcome him back to mingle with us again. The church placed him immediately back on the board. We ask pardon for not mailing our last week's report earlier. The Mission Circle is doing great work to assist us in finance. They gave a great musical program and entertainment DIRECTORY OF MASONIC LODGES at the church Monday night which was fine. We had some excellent pieces and addresses that everyone enjoyed. We attended two very fine entertainments given by Sisters Baskin and Thomas and they indeed had a lively time which we all enjoyed.

LOUIS DISTRICT By Rev. Thomas J. Townsend The St. Louis District of the Missouri Annual Conference, embraces about twenty-five churches, located in more than half as many cities and towns in the State of Missouri. Among these, are to be found some of the most vital in America, and the most spiritually alive. Take for instance St. Paul, St. Louis. This church easily takes its place among the leading churches of this great country. It has a membership of approximately three thousand, its annual collections reach nearly twenty thousand dollars and it is making its great power felt in the mission field. Her missionary contributions far exceeds not only those of the churches of the St. Louis District, but, also, those of the entire Missouri Conference, as well as many others in the connection. Last year she raised four hundred dollars for the Mite Misisonary Society. Although St. Paul is the largest church in the district, we have other churches doing as much per capita. Therefore St. Paul speaks for the churches of the district, but of course, on a larger scale. That the district is doing a great work was evidenced at our recent district conference. It is the belief of all that it was the greatest in the history of the district. Its procedure was marked with order and dignity. The tranquility that marked each session of that great conference may be attributed to the executive ability of the presiding elder, as well as the loyal support of the ministers and laymen. The collections of the conference far exceeded those of previous sessions. The missionary money overreached that of last year by approximately $160.00, while some of the churches were left out. The total money raised for all purposes was about $980.00. The aim of the district is to develop the people along all lines. While our first thought is the spiritual uplift, we are not unmindful of the fact that in order to reach the highest spiritual good, we must develop all faculties of the individual. There must be prepared a way for Christ before he can find access to the human heart. The gospel has a better chance with a man in his sober senses than with a man under the influence of drink; with a man who has been taught to read, than with an ignorant man, and with persons living in cleanliness, than with those residing in filthy, ill-ventilated dwellings. Rational Christianity is ever on the side of all moral and social reforms. This is our general work, but we do not forget that with these must go hand in hand the preaching of the truth as it is in Christ Jesus. The administration has been a success from the very start. This may be due to omy causes, but chief among them is the efficiency of our presiding elder, Dr. Wm. H. Burnette. He is a man of genuine Christian character; a man who has been to the fount of living water and comes away to thirst no more. He is a man of intellectual attainments, and one who has drunk deeply at the fountain of general knowledge of men and things, besides his pursuits along special lines. He is a man who has seen extensive service, who is actuated by the spirit of service, and a gospel preacher. He is a man of executive ability, who seems to have mastered the secret of success along this particular line. It has long been a known fact that those woh would rule successfully must of necessity cultivate the art of impartial rule. Dr. Burnette seems to be preeminent in this particular. There seems to be no end to his patient indulgence towards the men of all ranks under his leadership. As a citizen, he is ever ready to lend his influence in raising the standard of morality and in the elevation of the race along all lines. As a Bible teacher, he seeks a higher plane than human speculation and opinionism, makes no compromise with error, is ever loyal to truth, and keeps above the marshes of contention and dogmatism. To leave this subject just here, would be manifestly unjust to the men who have so loyally supported the Presiding Elder. These men are actuated by an ambition to keep the old church up to the standard set by the fathers. And in this endeavor he do not lose sight of the fact that in order to make great leaders we must thoroughly learn to follow. ner. (2) That the General ence create a Pension Bu operated by a Secretary of the General Conference, we shall be to lay the claim superannuated preachers, ororphans upon the hearts of ple; conduct campaigns for funds for this sacred ca As we are sent from post to post, and as we enter upon other men's labors, may we not use the complete achievements of others as a couch of luxury, but as a higher vantage ground from which to do a greater service, is the prayer of your most humble servant. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE BISH OPS, GENERAL OFFICERS, MINISTERS AND LAYMEN OF THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Dear Fathers and Brethren: I am addressing you this letter in the interested of the "Neglected Man" of our great church—The Superannuated preacher—whose Cause I have espoused. In my humble opinion, a more vital question could not claim the attention and consideration of the next general conference, than the question of providing more adequately for the superannuated preachers, widows and orphans of the African Methodist Episcopal Church—the election of bishops and general officers notwithstanding. The bishops, in their Episcopal address to the general conference of 1920, said in part: "The church can perform no greater service than to manifest the real practical side of christianity in the support of those who have spent the most active part of their lives in proclaiming the gospel, and gathering the financial means by which the church has been able to perpetuate its temporal existence, and wield a mighty force and influence, educationally, morally and religiously. To protect and shield these veterans of the Cross is to glorify God, broaden the influence of the church, strengthen the feeble knees and brighten the corner of aged heroes, whose feet have trodden the path of tribulation, climbed the mountain of opposition, and by faith wrought works in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It should be one of the chief aims of this General Conference to plan wisely for the future care of our conference claimants. To modify the present law will not be sufficient. Nothing stable can be wrought that depends on a contingency. Our present law should remain, but an organized effort should be put in operation for the raising of at least a MILLION DOLLARS to be increased from time to time and permanently invested, that the interest accruing from this permanent fund from year to year may be sacredly set aside for the maintenance and support of our conference claimants." This General Conference, if it does nothing else, should create a "Bureau for Conference Claimants" with a Secretary, to invest a fund, created by this General Conference, the principal of which shall be a sacred treasure, never to be touched only as it is increased from year to year and invested for all future generations for the superannuated preachers, widows and orphane. The Secretary should not be paid out of this fund but from the Financial Department. He should travel, preach and lecture and stir the church to the importance of the task, lay these claims before our wealthier members and solicit donations for this permanent and sacred fund. (See General Conference Minutes, page 182.) I believed then and believe now that the General Conference made a sad and unfortunate mistake by not adopting this recommendation made by our Bishops, who are in a position to realize the imperative need of providing more adequately for our indigent ministry and the widows and orphans of our deceased comrades. I want to hereby request, that the Bishops renew the recommendation made to the last General Conference on this subject in their Episcopal Address to the General Conference of 1924. Say what you please, but the church cannot meet the needs of its beneficiaries until it raises a "Permanent Fund." The experience of other churches, as well as our own, teaches us that no church Pension System can stand up without the backing of a Permanent Fund, for the Bishops have well said, "There will be lean years and fat years of contributions." Let me suggest (1) That the General Conference of 1924, launch a campaign to raise AN ENDOWMENT FUND OF A MILLION DOLLARS and that this Sacred Fund be known as the TURNER MEMORIAL FUND, in honor of the precious memory of the late and lamented Bishop Henry McNeal Tur- ner. (2) That the General Conference create a Pension Bureau to be operated by a Secretary elected by the General Conference, whose duty shall be to lay the claims of the superannuated preachers, widows and orphans upon the hearts of the people; conduct campaigns and solicit funds for this sacred cause. Lord Willing, I will present a Plan to the General Conference by which this important thing can be done. A Voluntary Movement. A Voluntary Movement. Having espoused the Cause of the "Neglected Man" (Superannuated Preacher) more than ten years ago, I propose to launch a "Voluntary Movement" to raise, by Free-Will offerings, $5,000, more or less) to be presented to the next General Conference as a Nucleus of a "Permanent Fund." A "Nest Egg," if you please. I have arranged with the Citizens & Southern Banking Company, of Philadelphia, Pa., of which Major R. R. Wright is president, to act as Custodian of this Fund until the General Conference. The names of the contributors and the amountst contributed will appear in the Christian Recorder weekly. I am asking every Bishop, General Officer, Minister and Layman, who believe that it is right to protect and care for those who have braved the hardships of the ministry to extend and perpetuate the church, to make a Free-Will Offering to this Voluntary Movement Effort, and thereby help start a Movement that will redown to glory of God and the edification of the church. My brother, you may not need it now, you may be young, strong and healthy, but the day is just ahead, when you, like many of your comrades will have to fall out of line. Too many of our ministers who have given the very flower of their lives to the church are allowed to suffer in old age and die forgotten and forsaken by the church for which they gave their lives. I tell you, something must be done! Why not start it now? Listen! The names of the First Contributors to this Voluntary Movement will appear in the Christian Recorder October 11th, 1923. Will you head the list and thereby immortalize your name by becoming the the promoters of this far-reaching movement? If so, send a contribution to the Citizens & Southern Banking Company, 19th and So. Sts., Philadelphia, Pa., or to me. Now, Brethren, accept of my thanks in advance for whatever you may do to help promote a Cause that has become the burden of my soul. As I march in the Vanguard of the African Methodist Ministry, I cannot, to save my life, turn a deaf ear to the cries of the "Man We Left Behind"—The Wormout Preacher. I am persuaded to believe that God wills to use me in this way, if so, I am ready to dedicate the remainder of my days in the active ministry to this sacred cause. Yours for the "Neglected Man." J. H. SMITH, Pastor Bethel A. M. E. Church, 2617 Cochran St., Dallas, Tex. Not Used to It. Hostess—I wonder why your little brother seems so restless and uncomfortable. Little Sister—Pleas'n. I think it's 'cause his hands are clean. Fish Scarcity for Britain Hull, in the east riding of Yorkshire, the home of 60,000 people dependent upon the fishing industry, is now alarmed that the famous Dogger bank is becoming exhausted. For generations the Dogger bank has been the mainstay of fishermen from the Humber district; but, owing to mines during the war, to overtrawling the bank or to natural preference for some other locality, the fish are rapidly disappearing. Iceland seas afford good fishing, and the White sea furnishes a cargo of flat fish after one hour's trawling, but the vessels have to travel a thousand miles from Hull to the White sea, and must be away a fortnight to return with a single cargo—Exchange. Ideal Wedding Present "What is this?" asked Brown. "A wedding present," replied Jones. "What is it good for?" Brown still questions. "Nothing that I know of. It is just a wedding present." "I don't understand." "It's this way." explained the merchant patiently. "You give it to your friend as a wedding present. Pretty soon a friend of his gets married. He passes it on, and so it goes. It is very durable." On the Coaching Lines. Even the greatest minds cannot resist temptation, and the great James Barrie fell during a rehearsal of "What Every Woman Knows." He was watching Godfrey Tearle, who is the new John Shand, and, in due course, Tearle delivered the line: "I know I'm embarrassing the government." Then Sir James showed his weakness and leaped in. "Perhaps you ought to say," he remarked, "I know I'm J. M. Barriesing the government." Two Million Farms In the United States Artificially Irrigated to Point of High Production. Under the system of federal co-operation the reclamation of America's arid lands proceeds today with increased speed and confidence. Before 1860 the number of farms under irrigation in the United States was 698, comprising 469,000 acres; in 1910 the acreage had increased to 14,433,285, while by 1920 the government census shows 1,916,391 farms under irrigation, with an irrigated acreage of 19,191,716 and an area subject to irrigation under projected systems in excess of 36,000,000 acres. The present gross area under irrigation in the United States, all of which is the result of not more than 70 years' activity, represents one-fifth of the aggregate lands now being irrigated on the earth's surface. In addition we have many great projects in view, including the Columbia river project, which contemplates the reclamation of 450,000,000 acres of arid land, and the Colorado basin, with 7,000,000 acres, while bills in congress and appropriations already provided furnish many hundreds of millions of dollars and include development in all parts of the country where irrigation is in practice.—Edgar L. Hampton in Current History. MADE WAY THROUGH WINDOW Ex-Secretary Redfield Recalls Happening Which Prominent Personages Might Desire to Forget. So far as his heavy cares permitted, President Wilson showed keen interest in the progress and development of department work of every kind. During the war an inventor produced an all-metal airplane of which he expected great things. It was sent to the bureau of standards for examination. The President was asked to see it, and gladly consented, but the only time available was on a Sunday. Accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, we went out to the bureau of standards, only to find that the custodian had misunderstood his orders and we were locked out. A hasty search found an unfastened window, and this served as a sufficient entrance for the President and his wife. I have always enjoyed the recollection of the President of the United States and the first lady of the land climbing in through a half-opened window rather than fall to carry out the purpose of ,their visit.—William C. Reddfield, in the Outlook. Fight Engine Resistance. Builders of the "bat-wing" airplane designed the craft to overcome the resistance of struts, wires and fuselage that in the usual type of machine consume almost three-quarters of the engine power, says the Washington Star The improved design is a great double-chambered aerofoil that terminates at right and left in the conventional allerons and that tapers in the rear to a tail that has the usual elevator and rudder. The aerofoil measures 100 feet from tip to tip and swells in the front to a thickness of seven feet. In that bulge is a cabin 30 feet long, eight feet wide and six feet in height. This plane is an internally trussed cantilever structure covered with wood veneer so tough that the wing surfaces can be walked upon. Simple Proceeding "This apartment is too small to turn around in," said the prospective tenant. "You have a car?" asked the agent. "I have," the applicant replied. "Which you keep in a garage?" the agent inquired. "Yes." "And the garage is too small to turn the car around in?" "Of course." "Yet you get along nicely. Apply the same principle here. Back out when you want to turn around." Nitrate Conditions Recent developments in Chile incidental to the decision officially announced, to prolong the association of nitrate producers for another year from the end of this month, and the fact that the Chilean exports will be under restrictions over the next half year, are calculated to encourage the negotiation of orders on European and American account for shipment over the earlier months of the coming year Premier Baldwin's Son a Radical It may not be so generally known that Mr. Baldwin's domestic associations are literary and also that he has a radical member in his own household. Rudyard Kipling and Professor Mackall are his first cousins and favorite companions. One of his sons, Oliver Baldwin, is a proved Socialist, though a violent opponent of holesvism, on account of his experiences with the Bolsheviki in Armenia.—From the Living Age. Autoists See Face on Rock. Automobile tourists driving through Boulder canyon are impressed with Chief Niwot, a huge rock image of a famous Indian whose camp was located for years in the Colorado Rockies. Appearances would indicate that the average man gets little beauty sleep. Happy is the man who works—providing he doesn't work the wrong party. All married women are good listeners—when their husbands talk in their sleep. PAGE THREE Rent Is High IT PAYS TO OWN A HOME OR PROPERTY 3-acre farm, close in, some fruit.

CARL W. FINCKE, Clerk District Court. By C. D. BRICE, Deputy. (First published Aug. 3, 1923.) J. O. MIDNIGHT done, they proceeded to go through some other kind of business, known as works, and they worked giving all kind of signs. They certainly did give the graveyard sign. Then followed the declaration opened in form after prayer. It was observed that the delegation from Virginia was seated, and Supreme Chancellor wanted to know how they got in without the wedding garment on. They were escorted out, until the Supreme Chancellor could make a report on their case, and when this was done, a man known to them as Master-at-Arms, escorted them in one more time, and they were given an ovation. The first time since 1911 that Virginia had been seated with their brethren, but on the other hand they had been spending thousands of dollars, and making the Supreme Lodge do likewise, trying to get out of obeying the law of the order. The men stood, they shook hands with their nearest neighbors. They were headed by the new Grand Chancellor, Lawyer Reid, of Portsmouth, Va. He is a wonderful man. "We are free at last," said one of the representatives, "and no longer are we under a one-man rule. We are glad to be back with you and assure you we are going to do our duty." For the accomplishment of this, without one speck of compromise of the law and rules of the order, I want to congratulate Supreme Chancellor Green, for it was declared that he was going to break up the order. He placed his hands in the hands of God so to speak and went right on doing his duty. He spent much of his time on his knees, and never left home to go to meet a law suit without first going into his room, closing his door and talking to God. A man who trusts in God will make it in this world and in the world to come. You recall that there has been much attention turned to Virginia and then Missouri attracted much attention, for it was thought by some of this state that they could get by without paying up, and they could bluff some one, but believe me honey, when Missouri looked Supreme Chancellor in the face, and said "You must show me," he just raised his hammer and it fell heavy, chopping that state right off head and tail. Grand Chancellor Lloyd, looked up, saw his head in the waste basket, and asked, "What manner of man is this," and honey, before the Supreme Lodge could act, and the charter of that state revoked, Grand Chancellor Lloyd recommended to his grand lodge that it pay up and do so at once, although just a year before, he recommended that the taxes be not paid and the money returned to the members. Missouri is a large state and old Pythian state, but it had to pay up just the same. "They all look alike to me, and large and small alike must obey the edicts of the Supreme Lodge," declared Green. Virginia returned to the Supreme Court. They were received by Supreme Counsellor Tidrington. Now let me hear say, that Knight Tidrington, is just the man for the place. He has reached the hearts of the women. He is a considerate man, and kind to all. They love him and declare that he is just the man for the place. He was presented with a fine silver service, and something else. I was delighted to see this, and the same kind of this was presented to Supreme Chancellor Green. There were many men from many places. Of course. Texas was right in line headed by Supreme Chancellor S. W. Willis, and he was made a member of the Pythian Temple Commission. You recall he is some pumpkins himself, and a great leader of men. I was delighted to see so much brain working together. Grand Chancellor Wickham was. another busy man, as was Dr. H. W. Conrad. I had the pleasure of hearing the wonderful report and address made by Mrs. Norene Davis, from Kansas. She is a remarkable woman. I met many able women. Texas women were right there in good line headed by Mrs. A. D. Key, but they lost many of their blue bonnets through mistake. But I must break right here and pay a tribute to that great Military Genius, General R. R. Jackson. The greatest fraternal order parade ever pulled off in New York was staged here last Friday. I believe that there must have been 30,000 men in line. Saying nothing about the women in uniform, women and men in automobile car carriages, men and women—well I just can't tell you, but honey, General Thomas Kennedy from Kansas stood his ground, and he looked fine in line. He is a genius himself and I feel like taking off my hat to him. THE KANSAS,CITY ADVOCATE I saw so much, until I feel like I have been dreaming. The officers elected by the Supreme Lodge are: S. W. Green, New Orleans, La., Supreme Chancellor; E. G. Tidrington, Evansville, Ind., Supreme vice-Chancellor; Dr. A. E. Williams, Cincinnati, Ohio, Supreme Past Chancellor; Rev. N. C. Nix, Orangeburg, S.

NEW IN WORLD OF HARMONY Recently Invented Device Seems to Offer Undreamed-of Possibilities to Composers of Music. Added possibilities for orchestral composition are revealed in a device perfected by Bernard Samuels, European musician. Competent judges in the world of harmony believe that his "aerophor" will greatly advance scoring for wind instruments by tinting future compositions with new and strangely beautiful harmonies, and will also prove a blessing to the musicians themselves by saving their health and nervous energy. This instrument is said to provide a means of holding a tone indefinitely, while the performer is resting his lungs. This is accomplished by foot pressure on a dustproof bellows. A small bellows operated by one foot supplies the air. Connected with this is a rubber tubing which terminates in a small metal reed fastened near the mouthpiece of the instrument. Both the reed and the regular mouthpiece are held in the mouth of the musician. By a sort of stopcock both are controlled.—Washington Star. Modern Term "Volume" Has Been Found to Have Had Its Origin in These Cylindrical Works. In forming papyrus into books it was customary among the ancients to use a long sheet or web of it, and roll it upon a stick, as is the custom in respect to maps at the present day, says the Detroit News. The writing-was in columns, each of which formed a sort of page, the reader holding the ends of the roll in his two hands and reading at the part which was open between them. As he advanced be continually unrolled on one side and rolled up on the other. The term "volume," used in respect to modern books, had its origin in this ancient practice of writing upon long rolls. The long sheet was rolled upon a wooden billet, which gave the volume a certain firmness and solidity, and afforded it great protection. The ends of the roller projected beyond the edges of the sheet and were terminated in knobs or bosses, which guarded in some measure the edges of the papyrus or rolls of parchment, which were often made in the same manner. The whole volume was also inclosed in a parchment case, on the outside of which the title of the work was conspicuously recorded. BETTER WITHOUT MEAT DIET Danish Physician Makes Positive Statement Concerning His Observations During World War. If all persons were vegetarians nine people could be supported by two and a half acres of land, says Dr. D. Hindhede, the Danish nutrition expert, in a report to the American Medical association on the relation between diet and disease. There was a great decrease in deaths from heart disease, pneumonia, bronchitis and old age in Denmark, during the war, Dr. Hindhede states. Peace brought a return to higher death rates from these diseases, and the doctor asserts that the increased health in war time was due to enforced abstention from meat, coffee and white bread. Dr. Hindhede, who is director of the Danish state laboratory for nutritional research, asserts that his experiments made with men over a long period of time prove that life, health and vigor may be maintained on a diet of bran, potatoes and other vegetables, although it is not proved that a small amount of meat does any considerable harm. He is not himself a vegetarian and he considers it most important that one eat only when hungry and stop while food still continues to taste good. All Situation Covered A story always worth telling at a gathering of lawyers illustrates the technique and vagaries of legal procedure. It especially shows that in his pleading a lawyer must cover all situations that might arise. In the case in point, an Irish woman had borrowed a crock from her neighbor. It was charged in the complaint that when she returned the crock, it was cracked, and the action was for damages. Counsel for the defendant pleaded no cause for action for three reasons. They were: That the defendant never borrowed the crock. That the defendant returned the crock in good condition. That the crock was cracked when the defendant borrowed it. Gloomy Ikey. With one terrific split the rolling ship sunk slowly down beneath the waves. All the passengers were thrown into the sea, and among these were two Jewish gentlemen, who happened to be clinging to the same spar. After floating about in this way for some time they both felt very much exhausted. Toward the end of the second day, however, one of them sighted a ship, and, with renewed hope, he cried to his companion: "Ikey, I see a sail!" "Vat good does that do us?" replied Ikey. "We ain't got no samples!" Dawning Evidence. Mistress—What time did your master return last night, Jane? Jane—Don't know, ma'mam; but at 'alf past six this mornin' 'is boots was warm—London Mall.
