Childs, of Kansas City, Kans., has been appointed state inspector and extension worker of the two state schools of Kansas, Western University and the Kansas Vocational College, at a salary of $2,500 per year.

Carey presiding marks a new day for African Methodism of this section. With all that enthusiasm can make the men are rallying to the standards he has set, with a fine and beautiful faith. The conference will adjourn at 3 o'clock this coming Sunday and not at the usual night hour, because of the fact that the Bishop has to attend other important engagements with the men at Chicago.

VETERAN GOVERNMENT EXPERT GIVEN WORTHY PROMOTION Washington, Sept. 17.—Prof. Lafayette M. Hershaw, who has been employed in the General Land Office of the U. S. Department of the Interior for thirty-five years, has been promoted to the position of Assistant Law Examiner, the highest position ever held by any colored man in the land office of the Interior Department here in Washington. Professor Hershaw through all these years has been one of the most highly respected clerks in the government service. His well merited promotion is in line with the policy of Secretary Herbert Work to advance to positions of place, power and honor all those who merit them, regardless of race, creed or color. INCOME TAX EXPOSURES RE- VEAL, RACE WEALTH Washington, Sept. 17.—The published reports of income taxes paid to the government during 1924 indicate that the race is progressing remarkably in its acquisition of land holdings of value and concrete wealth. In practically every city revelations have been made of the income taxes paid by prosperous Negro business and professional men, corporations and private enterprises, all the overflow of annual receipts which bespeak thrift and prosperity. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS. $1.50 FARMERS PAYING OFF DEBTS Washington, Sept. 17.—According to Dr. William M. Jardine, Secretary of Agriculture, the American farmer is slowly but surely getting back on his feet. Because our nearly one million colored farmers now operate in every state and in three-fourths of all the counties, and for the additional reason that they constitute our only group that is doing business on invested capital exceeding two billion dollars, the information given by Secretary Jardine concerning improved agricultural conditions is encouraging to colored citizens generally. Basing his opinion on personal observations made during an extended trip through the farming sections of the country, the secretary said: "What I saw and heard on that trip not only convinces me that this will be a fairly good season in itself, but that agriculture is at last actually out of danger. The farmers are greatly encouraged and so am I. Up until last spring they were weighed down by a great surplus of products that was a "hand-me-down" from the war, and it was hard to work off this surplus. It meant drastic retrenchment during a four-year period of acute distress; but now they have accomplished it and as a result, they are facing the prospect of fairly good incomes this year and are moderately optimistic regarding the future. They are paying off long-standing debts and getting out of the shadow of bankruptcy. Their farms are no longer hard to sell, and the purchasing power of farm products is 90 per cent of what it was before the war."

Number 5 WHEN DEMOCRATS FALL OUT, JUST MEN COME INTO THEIR OWN DEMOCRATIC DIALOGUE IN NEW YORK "ROCKS" COLORED CONSTITUENCY Washington, Sept. 17. — Casting epigrams and other choice figures of speech into the discard, the Hylan-Hearst alliance and the Smith-Walker combination are at each other's throats in the old-fashioned Democratic way, in their zeal to name the next mayor of New York, the country's wealthiest city, and heretofore Democratic stronghold north of the Mason and Dixon line. When Democrats fall out, just men may come unto their own. However, the spectacle of the New York linen-washing contest between William Randolph Hearst and Mayor John F. Hylan, on the one hand and Governor Al Smith and Senator Walker, on the other hand, is bringing discomfiture and apprehension to the Negro democratic bloc, created under the wing of the Tammany Hall organization. As is usually the case when democrats fall out, the colored Democrats are in a quandary. Whether the payroll signatures of the colored democratic appointees were made possible by Hylan and Hearst, deserters of Tammany or by the Tammany organization, itself, is the question that is worrying the Negro democrats of New York. Oblivious to the principles of good government, so foreign to the solid democratic party, the Negro bloc has been put upon its defense, and it is roundly rumored that the heads of not a few of their number are being sought for the official chopping block. While all was well, they made good tools for both opposing factions; but now that times are tense the two hundred thousand Negroes of New York are of but little concern to the democratic party. In the twenty-first aldermanic district, it is doubtful whether the present democratic incumbent will receive political recognition; and during the disorder it is questionable whether ex-alderman George W. Harris can put his party appeal over. For months and months the King's County Colored Republican Club and the Harlem Republican organization have urged the New York Negro voters to stand firmly by their party, in city, state, and national elections; and now the "deserters" who have been so easily begged by the Tammany and the ex-Tammany machines find themselves in the unenviable position occupied by all Negroes who foolishly try to build up Democratic principles, whose adherents always "crack" under the strain which is unfailingly apparent when Truth gets a full hearing, such as Hearst, Hylan, Smith and Walker are now giving it. The Negro Democratic proponents of New York have a last chance to right themselves, and that is by returning to the fold which gave them the ballot, and by using that ballot for the purpose of stabilizing government rather than giving aid and comfort to their ancient enemy, the democratic party. Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Thornton, who were attending the National Baptist convention on the Missouri side were the house guests of Rev. and Mrs. C. E. Brooks from Sunday evening to Monday. The Brook's and Thornton's were intimate friends in New Orleans their present home. FURNISHED ROOMS FOR RENT Nice furnished rooms for rent, suitable for couple, strictly modern, with home privileges.

HUMPHREYS' HOMEO, MEDICINE CO. 156 William Street, New York NEW HAMPSHIRE MEN IN RANKS OF GREAT Writer Puts Franklin Pierce at Head of List. The greatest office ever held by a New Hampshire man, and held by him as a resident of New Hampshire, was held by Franklin Pierce. It is something for us to reflect upon that he is one of the few who have gained much renown who gained it as citizens of the state, observes the Manchester Union. Daniel Webster would, of course, be held as our greatest man, and yet he won his fame in another state and it was Massachusetts, not New Hampshire, that sent him to Washington as a senator. Still, Massachusetts has given him up to us just as it has given up Calvin Coolidge to Vermont. Webster's personal Interests remained with us, his love went to New Hampshire, not Massachusetts. Franklin Pierce, who was President, was also a military man, possibly looking more like a soldier than being one. His military training was slight, yet he was gallant in action and made a very handsome appearance on horseback, which had a good deal to do with his nomination. The South used to decide who should be nominated by the Democracy, and nomination by that party then was nearly a guarantee of election. The South liked New Hampshire and liked the looks of Pierce. New Hampshire was the one New England state that was popular in the South and was the most popular Northern state. Does anyone in the South think of New Hampshire now? This liking by the South meant much in the way of political patronage for us, we got things no other Northern state could get. Gen. Lewis Cass of Michigan, who was almost President, was easily the most distinguished soldier who was born in New Hampshire. But his career was made in the West. He remembered little of New Hampshire, the one thing that stood out in his recollection being the fact that he was held in his nurse's arms to see President George Washington ride into Exeter. Gen. John A. Dix got fame more from some ringing words in the first doubtful days of the Civil war than or exploits in battle. He said a stirring thing at a right time, pronouncing a slogan at a period when that highland Scotch word was not used in our country, "If any man starts to haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot." People who have autos stolen might well wish General Dix were here and in charge of that problem. It would cease to be a problem after two and a half auto thieves had been shot. Two auto thieves shot to death and a third one filled with birdshot would stop auto stealing for a long time. Salmon P. Chase was another of our great men who developed elsewhere. Of late years, to somewhat make up for the important men we have contributed to other states, we have been attracting men of note. Of our contemporary leading men several came to New Hampshire. It would be invidious to try to catalogue the living, to mention those still with us. Ralph D. Pierce actually belonged to us. Winston Churchill is well identified with us and McDowell and Saint Gandens had some New Hampshire background. He Knew His Stuff Gilbert H. Ayres of Taylor university, who has just been announced as winner of the $1,000 prize essay contest in chemistry, offered by the National Chemistry society, and open to all colleges and universities of the United States, told a good story on himself the morning he received the prize. In the evening mail of the day before he received a notice from the Upland bank saying that his account was overdrawn 13 cents. On receiving his check he went to the bank at once, informed the cashier that he had come in to adjust his account and then, with the coolness of a millionaire, passed in his check for $1,000.—Indianapolis News. French Colonials in Paris The interest taken by France's colonial subjects in the decorative arts' exposition adds to the picturesque aspect of the crowds daily along the Esplanade des Invalides and in the grand palats in Paris. Swarthy Moroccan chieftains, Algerians, Tunisians, Senegalese, all in native costume, pronenade in and out among the booths and pavilions, pausing to inspect with gravity and awe the various displays. Some are there in connection with the exhibits of the French colonies and protectorates, but the exposition authorities say that a far greater number are in the real tourist class, paying their own expenses and following their own programs. Cancer Investigation A German scientist, Dr. A. Werechinski, has obtained results that seem to confirm the view that cancerous and tumorous growths are similar to embryonic tissue, in that they are simply masses of rapidly growing cells; but that they have "run, wild" and escaped from the controls of normal growth. Doctor Werechinski injected finely minced embryonic kidney and adrenal tissue, under the skin of a guinea pig, which subsequently developed characteristic tumorous growths in two different parts of its body. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Pain is the outcome of sin.—Buddha. A man passes for what he is worth —Emerson. Nothing cools love so rapidly as a hot temper. Many a sharp answer is made in blunt language. Some die of heart failure and some live with head failure. Too often a fellow's charity seems to be glued to his fingers. Nothing jars a man like being compelled to love by contract. When a boy sees another eating something he always gets hungry. One way to make light of your troubles is to burn your unreceited bills The rolling stone gathers no moss, but it is different with the rolling joke One ungrateful man does an injury to all who stand in need of aid.—Syrus Some men have no fixed price, but proceed to sell out to the highest bidder. The steps of faith fall on seeming void, and find the rock beneath.—Whittier. Adam had his childish experience with little green apples after reaching manhood. That which is called firmness in a king is called obstinacy in a donkey.—Lord Erskine. It doesn't matter if beauty is only skin deep as long as the skin is worn on the outside. If you would make your friends weary talk continually about yourself and your affairs. A wayward son says that it is a case of love's labor lost when he fails to work the old man. If a bachelor is the acme of selfishness, then happy is the woman that falls to get him. CHINESE BOY SCOUT WON COURAGE BADGE The Bronze cross, highest award of honor granted by the British Boy Scouts association, was recently posthumously presented to a member who sacrificed his life in an attempt to save the life of his father. The story of the boy's courageous act follows: "Early this year the home of Scout Fred Gsell of the First Tlentsin (China) troop of boy scout caught fire. Gsell's father and mother were asleep when the boy raised the alarm. The mother escaped through a bedroom window on to the garden wall. The scout could have followed but would not desert his father, who he saw, was stupefied and unable to move. The scout could not lift his helpless parent, and refused to leav him. When the firemen entered the building they picked up the dead body, of the father and the living but unconscious body of the scout himself. The boy, however, was dead when he reached the hospital." Maine Hen Lore A contributor to a Cleveland newspaper, telling of a hen runnin through heavy traffic with a bright ribbon dangling from her tall feathers, adds: "Evidently she had been struck before." Tut! tut! Is it possible that the writer has never heard of that time-honored method of "breaking up" a setting hen by a attack of red cloth to her tall-red flannel preferably? Just what flannel has never been satisfactorily explained, but flannel has always been demanded by the good folk who be lieve in this plan, and happy was the boy who was called upon to affix the streamer and then watch the crazies of its unwilling wearer.—Portland Press Herald. A Real Boy Billy, age six, was the proud possessor of his first real boy suit. His mother was dressing him in it to go to a party. Thinking he looked up usually neat, she unthinkingly asked "Do you think they will say you look pretty when you go to the party?" Very disgustedly he said: "I hop not; that's what they say to a girl I'd rather they say I looked like a bitum." In Other Respects A lawyer in a New York breach of promise suit declares that certain parts of his opponent's answer are "repetitious," irrelevant, unnecessary impertinent, improper and scandalous." Otherwise we believe he thought they were all right.—Arkansas Thomas Cat. Light on Horse's Tail A mounted policeman has put a tail light on his horse. He and the horse have been brushed several times by motorists who did not see the horse. The cop placed a red reflector on the horse's tail. Operates on Swan A swan broke a wing during a storm at Belfast. A surgeon administered an anesthetic; amputated the wing, bouncing the wound, and the bird made good recovery. MISTAKE NOT TO Bond of Affection in Remembering Anniversary. "Do you still keep your birthday?" asked a woman of me the other day. "Of course I do." I replied. "I stopped that years ago," she told me. She could not have been thirty! When she had gone I began to wonder at what age a woman should cease to celebrate her birthday. The more I pondered it over, writes Mrs. Nestor Noel in the New York Times, the more I came to the conclusion that she should keep it as long as she lives. There are several reasons for this if she be the mother of a family the fact of her birthday being a day of celebration teaches unselfishness to the children. For weeks beforehand they can plan for mother's birthday, working at home-made gifts in secret, asking themselves what she would like and being ready to give up little pleasures for her sake. There are lonely women who have no children. Wouldn't it be a great thing if some one in the village or street where they lived found out their birthdays and arranged with other people to give them joyous surprise? Flowers can be given to the women who are well to do. Cakes and other practical things quickly suggest themselves when the woman is less well off. Men do not care for these things so much. They forget their birthdays. We know they often forget their wedding anniversaries. This is a fact: Men do forget these things. Women, however, are different. I think that even the modern woman clings more to the old traditions than a man, and even if she says nothing, yet in her heart there is an ache somewhere when her birthday has been forgotten. I remember once going to see an old friend of mine. Business kept me from getting to her house until six o'clock. She had a husband and nine children. When I came so late and presented my gift with my birthday wishes her eyes filled with tears as she looked at me gratefully. "You are the only person who remembered my birthday." she said. The gift I had taken her was of no importance. I have forgotten what it was. She was quick to see and appreciate the thought behind the gift. She asked me to stay for tea. As she hastened to get it ready three of her children whispered together and then ran across to a store. Later they came back with a present from each. "You see," I remarked, "your children have not forgotten you." "They would never have thought of my birthday," she whispered, "if it hadn't been for you." Then her mother-love made her make much of their gifts, but I wished that they had not needed to be reminded of their mother's birthday by a friend who, however dear, did not belong to the family. We want our nearest and dearest to remember us first. Even grandmothers should celebrate their birthdays. It is so good for the rest of the family. It knits them together with a common bond of love. I mean to keep my birthday as long as I live. Even if I should have seventy grandchildren and they should each present me with a pair of slippers. I would be thankful. Not that I should need all those slippers, but I would certainly need all the love that prompted the gifts. Women always need love; they cannot live without it. Let them not be quick to say: "I never keep my birthday." When they allow people to forget their birthdays they lose the manifestation of a great deal of love. Bad Bargain for Railroad A young man's courtship is costing the Ludlow (Vt.) railroad $25.48 a week, according to engineers' estimates. It's like this: A youthful swain in Proctorsville is courting a young woman in Ludlow. He signals the express at Proctorsville to take him to Ludlow, paying a round trip fare of 86 cents. Returning to Proctorsville he signals, another express train. The cost of stopping the two trains and starting them again costs about $4 each night, according to the engineers, so that though the railroad receives $2.52 a week from the young man in fares, it pays out $28 a week for stopping its express trains. Parachutes Annoy Town It is illegal to fall out of an airplane or balloon in Oakland. Cal. without a permit, even if the fall is made in a parachute. City commis sioners recently passed an ordinance to that effect and one also requiring owners of balloons and planes that carry passengers to post a $20,000 bond to protect, not the passengers, but the lives and property of those who remain on the ground. The ordinance was made necessary, according to city officials, because five parachute jumpers fell heavily recently, all on one day. One crashed on a roof and the other four landed in expensive flower beds and shrubbery.

Life's Span Extending In spite of the fact that the continued betterment of health and living conditions in this century has given Americans the expectancy of longer and longer lives, the average American had his "expectancy of life" reduced from 58.01 years in 1921 to 57.32 years in 1923, or a loss of about eight months. According to statisticians of a leading life insurance company, who compiled the figures, greater prevalence of influenza and pneumonia in 1922 caused the reduction, but from advance indications for 1924 and 1925 the expected span from birth to death will be a larger number of years than it was in 1921, a banner year. Novelty in Picnic "How was the picnic?" Jones inquired of his wife one evening as she came up on the porch and laid the empty basket down with a sigh. "All right," she answered.

About the best cure for a swelled head is a dose of common sense. The problem of life seems to be: How to make one dollar do the work of two. Some men owe their success to acting contrary to the advice of their friends. A woman's curiosity is exceeded only by that of a man who says he hasn't any. The reason why the average man is not a hero to his valet is because he hasn't one. An idler's opinions are hardly ever as weighty as those of a man who is of some use. It is a safe guide to remember that you can always afford to give what you can afford. It is as easy to suppress a first desire as it is hard to satisfy the desires that follow. Make yourself an ass, and you'll have every man's sack on your shoulders.—Danish proverb. Bee Library a Memorial The Miller apicultural library at the Wisconsin College of Agriculture contains more than 1,100 books and bulletins relating to bee culture. After the death of Dr. Charles C. Miller at Marengo, Ill., in 1920, fellow beekeepers sought some means of perpetuating his memory. A memorial library was finally decided on, which was endowed by the beekeepers and others. Because of the interest which the Wisconsin College of Agriculture displayed in beekeeping the Miller library was established there. The library is an international monument to beekeeping, says a bulletin by H. F. Wilson, in charge of the agriculture department of Wisconsin college. Preserving Wild Game Those who want to see our big game protected commend the state authorities of South Dakota for their conservation of several valuable species of fast-perishing fauna in the state park set apart in the Black hills. Here there are 110 buffalo, 1,000 elk, 2,000 deer, 300 beaver, 400 coons and thousands of game birds. The nominal value of the creatures is $105,000, but as teachers of natural history they are worth incalculably more.

Easy on Conductors Loud speakers will be installed on trains of the Japanese railways, so the conductor won't have to shout so loudly in calling the stations. Over the entrance to the principal mine of a lead company in Arizona hangs a portrait of "Antonlo, the Cave Finder," an employee who roams about the underground passage puffing cigarettes, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. He keeps close watch of the smoke as it drifts away, and if he sees it disappearing through tiny breaks in the rock formation, the workings are extended in that direction, which often leads to inner caves, rich in ore. Minerals in this region seem to have been deposited in cavities which lie in an approximately horizontal plane. The mine is said to have been enlarged by more than half a mile in this manner. Tunnels are driven under the caves and the ore is dropped directly into the cars that carry it out of the mine. Japs Make Study of Japan's army intends to establish a mobilization bureau to study and prepare for national mobilization in times of emergency. Having disposed of other changes, Lieutenant General Ugaki, war minister, is ready to deal with the problem. The bureau will investigate as to what natural resources may be utilized in times of war and the amount of the resources necessary for the sustenance of the nation and the army and the navy in wartime. The establishment of an organ similar to the board of census, now defunct, is advocated by the war minister, to supply material on which the new bureau may begin work. Army authorities have decided to create the bureau in the army, as the cabinet leaders, owing to lack of funds, are opposed to the establishment of an independent organ in the government. The war minister, however, finds the present situation of the world conducive to the creation of the bureau because European and American powers are endeavoring to prepare themselves with complete systems of national mobilization. Malaria Study in Sweden Malaria, which has caused so much trouble in other parts of the world, is now practically unknown in Sweden, but the Royal Bacteriological institute of Stockholm is engaged in making a study of the Anopheles mosquito, which carries its germ. This mosquito is harmless unless it has sucked the blood of a person with the disease, and has had time to develop the parasites in its own system. Not being located in a malaria zone, Sweden is in slight danger of infection, but if an epidemic should break out abroad travelers might bring the disease. In such a case the institute is prepared to take immediate measures to check it. Australian Child Brides Australia's child brides during 1923 numbered 483, under seventeen years of age, the youngest being only thirteen, and seventy-three women of sixty-five years and over. The oldest bridegroom was eighty-six. Among the young mothers was a child of twelve, while six girls of only thirteen years gave birth to children. Referring to infant mortality, the president of the Health Association for Women and Children in Victoria, stated that Australia had lost 122,473 children under the age of five years between 1918 and 1922.—Family Herald. Its Location "Now, Bearcat," severely began the Sabbath-school teacher, "you must pay more attention to the lesson. Where was Solomon's temple?"

Standardize Undies The bureau of standards now is seeking to standardize underwear sizes.
