TICKETS ON SALE NOW Vol. XI APPOINTIVE OFFICERS HAVE BECOME UNITS OF GOV. PAULEN'S ADMINISTRATION FROM THE REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE Topeka, Kans., May 14.—The republican state central committee is in receipt of a large number of letters offering congratulations on the selection by Governor Paulen of appointive officers who have become units of his administration. Fair minded leaders of all political parties Governor Ben S. Paulen concede to an incoming governor; the right to surround himself with men of his way of thinking and who will assist him in carrying out his platform pledges. That Governor Paulen's policies are generally regarded as safe for the state at large, is evidenced by the fact that democratic members of the last legislature supported in the main, his recommendations and with few exceptions retired from the session satisfied with the program that was executed. Governor Paulen's selections for important posts appear to be, each one peculiarly adapted to the work he or she has been chosen to perform, it is pointed out. True, there were some disappointments, but the governor's closest friends declare he was actuated in every case by a desire to serve the various constituencies and there is a general feeling of satisfaction.

CITY Kansas City, Kansas, May 15, 1925 GONE FISHING GONE FISHING GONE FISHING (Copyright, W. H. U.) J. O. SAYS HIS LAST THING TO DO ON EARTH WILL BE TO DIE Birmington, Alabama, May 14. "Dust to dust, ashes to shes," are the words that have been uttered so often in the past few weeks, and each time you hear them, some dear soul has been ushered into eternity and the lifeless form is being planted in mother earth to await the resurrection. In our cities and towns today, as you walk the streets here and there you will discover crepe on the door, announcing that death has invaded this home, and it should be warning to us as we look that we too must join them. But why pause to talk about death, for it is and although people are dieing daily and at times in large numbers, yet we cannot get used to it. All must sooner or later leave here, and there is no mistake about it. I am just looking after the living business and the last thing I am going to be or do down here is to die and be consigned to mother earth. I know my friends will gather around my body and look in my still face and say, "don't he look natural?" They would break their necks getting out of the way if I should just sit up and answer them once. Mrs. A. D. Key, grand worthy counsellor of the grand court of Calanthe in Texas has gone from us, and just before the meeting of Grand Lodge in Waco, Texas. No doubt she had made her plans to be there and to serve her people as she had been doing for years, but in the home of her daughter she left this world. She served well and was a leader of women. They all loved her, but when the summons came, like all others, she had to respond. But many others have gone from us. Frank L. Gillispie, president of the Liberty Life Insurance company, received his summons right in the midst of a busy life, and responded. In a garden of flowers his body was laid to rest. I hope that it was his pleasure to enjoy the fragrance of the flowers while he was on earth. It was not my pleasure to know him personally, but I am told that he was an active business man. I am told that he was not a Christian. I will not comment on this, for God will take care of that part of it. Prepare to meet God is the admonition daily issued out by the ministers. I have been moving just a little since I mailed that letter from Jefferson City, Mo., to you, for I returned to St. Louis, and spent Sunday with the Rev. Dr. O. L. Maxwell, pastor of the First Baptist church, and his people. It was mine to speak Sunday morning and evening for the people, and believe me when I tell you they have one more congregation. ADVOCATE Well he is a great preacher, and the Sunday I was with him, he had a big baptizing. He put them down deep way out of sight, as Baptists can and will do. They will bury you deep, and you must tell the preacher before he totes you in the water that you have been born again. A large number were put under the water. In the afternoon, I called to see some friends, among them W. H. Brown, and then a conference with Prof. Aaron E. Malone, president of Poro college, and one of the most interesting characters in the race. He was preparing to go to Jefferson, and had just reached the college from a business trip east. He is a member of the Board of Lincoln University, and some of the politicians were trying to oust President Young. Mr. Malone, declared that the institution should not be used to pay political debts, and to that end he was working. He could see no particular reason why President Young should not be retained. He was putting over a great program for the people and by the people. Too often Negro schools are used to settle debts, and men are at times selected at the heads whether qualified or not. I want to see the time when all state schools will be divorced from politics with alimony and the best men will be selected. I had the pleasure of coming in touch with some of the teachers, and met one from St. Charles, Mo., Miss Corenne Bodine, an able young woman. It was my pleasure to touch many lives on this visit to St. Louis, and then I pulled away, reaching Chicago in time to touch a funeral, and it was the funeral of Frank L. Gillispie. The people just filled Olivet Baptist church. They came from all parts of the country to pay tribute to a captainist and an insurance king. The funeral oration was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Brady, from Detroit, Mich. I went to the home of Charles Stewart, D. D., general missionary for the National Baptist convention and who is called a Globe Trotter. I do not know why they call him this. Found his son preparing, to follow in the footsteps of his father. He is a little slow in getting out of school, but he declared he will come out a prepared man. In many things he is the second edition of his father, and he says that he is going to be an improvement on his father. That is one reason why he is taking his time to come out of school. He is now studying journalism, printing and all the things that you find in a newspaper office. Let the good work go on "Charles" and some day we hope to hear from you. It will take time. It took time to make a world, and it requires more time for the fellow who is to live in it to prepare for that living. I did not get to see Rev. L. K. Williams, president of the National Baptist convention, for he went out of town before I could get to him, but I expect to see him in Newport, Virginia, the place I am now headed. I did see Dr. J. H. Branham—in fact I ate dinner with him at the home of Dr. Charles Stewart, and I am here SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 to tell you that Mrs. Elvie I. Stewart is one more cooking woman. They had turkey. It was one of his Christmas turkeys left over, but honey he is left over no more. He is now a thing of the past, but he forms a part of me, and some of him a part of Dr. Branham, hence we are linked together. I went to see Dr. George Cleveland Hall, and he put me through an examination, listened to the bug conversation and then ordered me to bed at once, and told me not to stir around much the next day. He meant what he said, and I acted as he told me to act. So it was Friday morning that he came out to see me and did not have me to come down to see him. He looked at me, took the bug listening instrument out of his pocketbook and told me I was better, and gave me permission to leave town, but urged that I be extremely careful or they would be looking in my pretty face saying, "Don't he look natural?" He looks like he is asleep. I tell you they have some rich looking young men in Chicago, and I was told that many of them were merely pie men. I never heard of a pie man before. They have disagreed with work, and this class of men, gamble, steal, rob, cut throats, and many are supported by women while they dress up and look wise and go down state singing, "Let the women do the work and the men all walk around." I consider this a heluva mess. Some men are just born to do that way I suppose. Now then, off from Chicago, for I cannot tell you all that I saw there, but I did hear that the Baptist church in Champaign was having a monkey and pariot time. They had split right up the back wide open and another church was being organized. Just like Baptists, they fight and increase while others fight and decrease. I don't understand all of this. I was told that the preacher entertained the Klans at his church one Sunday, and that made hash-e-square-lull break out. If it is true then he should look for another job, and if the people follow him-out of the church, I think that they have vacant rooms for rent. They have rooms unoccupied. But there are men, and some of them in the cloth who will do anything when a few pennies are in sight. They are classed as leaders. Did you see where a big crowd of white folks had fixed their ears in Washington, D. C., to hear some colored folks sing, and they were just going to enjoy themselves at this big meeting, but honey they had places for colored people only, and when the singers learned this, they left and absolutely refused to sing for them white folks, and our race champion, Miss Hallie Q. Brown, did not fail to tell them white folks why these intelligent, trained people did not sing, and she knows how to do that, believe me. She is a lover of her people. We are speaking right out in church these days. I stopped over for a few hours in Danville, Ill, and the Rev. Dr. Crockett toed me around in his automobile car carriage, and Misses Mary and Flor- Number 39 'MILESTONES' SHOWED TO STANDING ROOM LAST NIGHT AT MISSOURI THEATRE SATURDAY NIGHT, MAY 16TH, IT WILL BE REPRODUCED AT THE SAME THEATER The Cast is Played by 500 People Under the Supervision of Miss Crogman of Philadelphia. The Pageant "Milestones of a Race" showing the progress of the Negro races from Egypt to the present age, staged and put on by Miss Ada Crogman of Philadelphia for the benefit of Douglass hospital of this city filled the Missouri theater, Twelfth and Central streets to its full capacity Thursday night and many had to be satisfied with standing room.

It will be played again Saturday night, at the same theater, May 16. The cast is made up of all home people, who have been trained to their parts of which many would be classed as stars. The best talent from all our schools, churches and civic bodies are in the cast. Tickets for Saturday are on sale at the Star Cleaning Company, 448 Minnesota avenue and all the colored drug stores.

These young women have the finest cafe in the city of Danville, and the wealth of that city eat with them, they give their parties in their place, and believe me that they are loyal to their race and to their church. Just a few days ago, they entertained Miss Catherine Johnson, of the National association. On to Nashville, where I found two leaders, waiting for me. Dr. A. M. Townsend, of the National Baptist convention. He is secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board, and Dr. J. C. Caldwell, of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, who is to devote his time to the training of Sunday School teachers in the future. They learned that I was passing thru and decided to shake my lily black hand. I thanks them now. Both brought some lunch for us. Now then off for Birmingham, and here I am. Found Prof. Herbert H. Glover, awaiting my arrival, and he took my luggage, believe me to his automobile car carriage and toted me to the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Mitchell, and they had prepared to receive us. Mrs. Mitchell is the daughter of the late Carrie A. Tuggle and told me that I was ever welcome.

But most of the Bra- zillan diamonds are purchased by the South African companies and are mar- keted as South African diamonds. LITTLE FLURRY IN THE PICTURE WORLD Irving Thalberg, always noted as a Pacemaker In the picture world, very hearly lost his rep not so very long age. He made the mistake of letting two very precocious females work in the same set. “I xm seven years old,” stated Camitie complacently. “I'm nine,” declared Jean, “Well, I'm going to be nine, too,” Camille reminded her. “Of course, goosey, but when you're nine I'll be eleven.” Camille, at once annoyed and out- raged. looked for a crushing reply. “Yes, of course, you'll be eleven when I'm nine, and you'll be an old ‘woman before I am, too.” .

I¢ If seems absurd to'talk of Insects In’terms of tons,"It may be mentioned that one filght of locusts which passed over ‘this Red’ sea covered’an area of 2,000 kquare imiles, and* certainly . weighed hundreds of thousunds of tons, while in Cypriis thé welght of locust eggs collected and’ destroyed In one season exceeded 1,300 tona In 1915 the locusts destroyed in Egypt weighed 13,500 tons, representing 7,886 millions of individual Insects. Rabbits thretened ruin to Australia and New Zealand until It was discov- ered that other countries were willing to buy them for thelr flesh and fur. Today the trade Is a gigantic one, and Im one recent year New Zealand ex- Ported more than 5,000,000 frozen rab- bits and 7,750,000 skins. In all nearly 300,000,000 rabbits have been sold by New Zealand. Another animal that was at one time a pest in New Zealand, became eventu- ally a source of considerable profit. ‘This was the pig, which was original- ly turned down by Captain Cook about the year 1770. A century later pigs were ko plentiful in the flax thickets of the northern Istand that a hunter could kill 50 Ina day and tarming In the distriet was impossible, ‘Then it was found that the bristles of these wild pigs were valuable, and for a good many years they were a source of steady revenue.—Washington Post. Raising Teasels ‘The town of Skaneateles, N, ¥.; ha: a thriving industry, perhaps not dupi! cated elsewhere in the United States It ralees teasels and finds a stead; demand for all it can produce. Now not every one knows wha! teasles are, ‘The teasel {s a plant tha produces a ball of porcupinelike quills, the largest from three to four inche: long and two inches wide. These arc an indispensable elenfent In the manu facture of broadcloth, felts and wool: en goods of the finer grades. ‘The teasels grow from three to five feet high, on prickly green stems with spiky leaves, for two years. ‘Then they are harvested, usually in August, and dried with great care. They are sold to a firm of teasel dealers In the town, where, in turn, they are parceled out to woolen manufacturers all oyer the country. & ‘The cloth manufacturer bores a hole through the teasels and ranges them on a shaft, against which he runs his finer qualities of fabrics, The points are very brittle, and as fine as the finest needle. These points scrape the cloth and give it its nap, or wooly, surface. Machinery can be used to do this only In the cheaper grades of material. Grounds for Delay The tired Saturday night patron at the Elite lunchroom In Hickburg had made up his mind to get some action, “Where's that ‘coffee I ordered?” he thundered to the walter. + “It'll be here in just a minute now,” replied the walter. “You see, It takes a little longer to make it on Saturday nights.” “Why Is that?” “Well, we put in fresh grounds on Sundays, an’ ‘long toward Saturday they get kind 0” weak.’—Judge. Sweets Blamed for Colds People living in cities make them- selves more susceptible to colds by eating too little greenstuffs and too many sweets and rich cakes, says Pro- fessor Hill of the National Institute of Medical Research, England.

South and North CAVES OUTLINED IN MILLIONS OF YEARS Much has been said since the imprisonment of Floyd Collins in Sand cave in Kentucky about stalactites and stalagmites, those icicles of limestone that hang from the roof and extend up from the floor of such caves. How these deposits came to exist, as well as how the caves themselves were excavated by nature, form an interesting page in the study of geology. At one time, perhaps a million or more years ago, an ancient sea covered this district. Sedimentary strata of limestone were deposited on the floor of this sea. Often a layer of sandstone was formed. Later, through some upheaval the bottom of the sea arose and became dry land. Then the formation of these caves began. Limestone is but very little soluble in pure water, but water containing carbon dioxide will easily dissolve the mineral. Rain water, seeping down through the ground, absorbed carbon dioxide from decaying organic matter. Then it would percoiate through the less soluble layers of sandstone without affecting them, but when it came to a layer of limestone it would dissolve some particles and carry them off. Thus, through many centuries, an entire stratum of limestone would be dissolved, leaving a cavern, often many feet in height. The cellings and floors of these caves, as a rule, were strata of sandstone or other rock less soluble than limestone. After the cavity in the earth was formed, and even before the excavating job was completed, a new process was begun. Perhaps nature regretted having formed such a cavity, or maybe she liked her work so well that she thought she should build columns to support the ceilings of these places. In either case, she started constructing stalactites, hanging down from above and stalagmites reaching up from the floors of the caves. These formations grew in size and length until they often met, forming columns. In some cases the cave would be nearly filled again with the limestone of these stalactites and stalagmites. Water seeping in from above caused the formation of these limestone icicles. Rainwater, charged with carbon dioxide, would dissolve limestone from rocks above the cave and come to the roof, where it would hang awhile. Here it would lose some of its carbon dioxide by evaporation, and, with its carbon dioxide gone, it would have to give up some of its limestone, since pure water will not hold much of the rock in solution. This limestone would be deposited on the roof of the cave. More and more of the mineral was deposited until the stalactite was formed. Millions of these drops of water fell to the floor of the cave before they gave up all their carbon dioxide, carrying their little burden of limestone with them. In this case the limestone was deposited on the floor, causing a stalagmite.—Kansas City Star. Useful Peppermint Growth and development of the chewing gum habit is having the effect of causing a continual rise in the price of peppermint. The acreage in the production of the plant in two Michigan counties exceeds 4,000 acres. Peppermint as a flavor is today in great demand everywhere. Oil of peppermint is now also employed to test steam boilers. If the odor escapes it indicates that the boiler is unsafe. A boiler that will hold the smell of the oil is said to be capable of holding any pressure to which it is ordinarily subjected. Peppermint is raised on marsh land formerly given over entirely to the production of hay. The land is used over and over again, for the same kind of a crop without rotation, though muriated potash is employed to maintain the soil in the desired state of fertility. In September the crop is cut with a mowing machine. Snow Modeling Snow sculpture is encouraged on school playgrounds in Chicago. All playgrounds competed recently in modeling snow figures, and the results were judged by the city's distinguished sculptor, Lorado Taft. Water was mixed with the snow to form a heavy slush. The work of modeling was done with wooden paddles, the snow first being packed on a framework of sticks tied together. Pocket knives and bits of tin were used to carve away excess and secure the lines desired. The children worked out a variety of figures. Included in the sculptural productions was an elephant holding his own against an attack by three wolves. Sardine Industry Big American sardines are making their way in the world. The quantity and value of sardines exported from this country last year showed an increase of 50 per cent as compared with the amount exported the year before. No fewer than 75 countries are now demanding our sardines in steadily increasing quantities. In 1921 the factories in the United States produced $6,649,000 worth of canned sardines, of which $3,953,000 worth came from Maine and $2,696,000 worth from California.—Youth's companion.
