The conference opened with a full roll call and a number of visiting ministers present who were introduced during the morning session. Bishop Carey was not feeling so well, owing to a severe cold contracted last week from the sudden change of the weather.

Bishop Carey, is showing in this conference that same fatherly love for pastor and layman, as he has in all his other conferences. Rev. R. S. Everett, the local pastor and his loyal people have erected out of the ashes of the old church one of the conferences most beautiful churches.

So, in this, our 9th Reunion, We are having on earth's sod, Let us first and last be thankful For our great success to God. I will first tell of our sorrows, Which will sadden you, I know, God has spared us, but by death's way Our three kindred had to go. First one was our oldest kindred Dearest Mary Sullivou Out of San Francisco she was Called by God to heaven, too. She was at our 4th Reunion, And her parting gave us pain; Then she went to San Francisco, And did not get back again. Then 'twas dear Cousin John Logan, Who was at the Soldiers' Home, There God called him, and He took him To live in the world to come. He was at our 7th Reunion, And we all were full-of glee Just to see him, but we saw that Tho' with us, he could not see. Then our dear Leroy Boone was At our 8th Reunion, too; Then God took this Christian kins man, Whom we loved, he was so true. (continued on page 4) PASEO Y. M. C. A. NOTES Sunday, 3:30 P. M., Rev. H.

There were 78 projects which cost less than $2,000. There were six which cost between $40,000 and $50,000. Grading by thousand dollars, there were 131 costing between $2,000 and 3,000; 121 between $3,000 and $4,000; 61 between $4,000 and $5,000; 87 between $5,000 and $10,000; 24 between $10,000 and $20,000; and 12 between 20,000 and $40,000. The two Carolinas, where the new educational movement is most active and aggressive, were the leaders. North Carolina building 86 schools, and South Carolina 79. Mississippi was the runner-up, with 69. There was much enthusiasm in Texas, also, where 54 structures were added to the rapidly growing list of that expansive Commonwealth. The general summary shows that since the movement began in 1914, under the stimulus of aid now totaling $2,200,000, there have been 2,940 buildings erected, with a teacher capacity of 7,404 and a pupil capacity of 333,180. This progress bepeaks the telling forces which are being steadily aimed to reduce Negro illiteracy to a minimum in those sections in which it has been heretofore permitted to thrive, menacing national advancement, and holding back a people whom the Constitution guarantees the full and equal benefits of the public-laws.

Number 7 NEGRO SCHOOL PROJECT AIDED BY PHILANTHROPY Washington, October 1—Two thousand, nine hundred and forty colored schools, having a total value of $12,400,000, now dot the southern states as monuments to the good will of northern philanthropists, chief among whom is Julius Rosenwald, the wealthy Chicago donor, who takes special delight in advancing the educational facilities open to the struggling Negro youth of that part of the country in which educational needs are the greatest. When it is considered that Negro illiteracy in Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Mississippi is showing a slow but steady decline, due credit must be given to those persons who realize that the ignorance of any race is a menace to the Nation. The schools which have received the greatest aid are Negro rural schools. Under the Rosenwald plan and similar ones, each school has at least two acres of land as a site, providing playgrounds and room for some elementary work in agriculture. Each has, in addition to its school rooms and cloak rooms, one or two rooms for industrial work for boys and girls. Each school building is constructed from carefully prepared plans embodying the most modern ideas regarding lighting and seating. Each is painted or stained, inside and out. The cooperative construction work is carried on during a budget year running from July 1, to June 30. The cooperating states are Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky. All applications are approved by the state department of education in each instance. Under its auspices also all outlays are supervised and by it the final inspection is made. In this way the construction is carried on under the best educational auspices and with absolute assurance of honest administration and intelligent workmanship. The budget year which closed June 30, was an interesting one in many ways. At an outlay of $2,600,000, five hundred twenty projects were completed. Of these 487 were new buildings. ee 5 aS ata gis is Sh aha Tid Sey TN ing = Bai Fate ont a ‘rete Erg apne cin tng SETS ERE ag tM aa eZ wea A ea oe SON RO ee Nee Ne Le erm a eerie eats Boe PSHE TI ROAR eee Rian Gree eine ong men Leos ow, betas cals Sete SI ; Sn Te Cari ner aS raied See een UNS a rattan Friday, October 2, 1925. ———— ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTICE Case No. 13516. x “State Of Kansas, Wyandotte County, SS.

Central Europe Sorry It Imported Muskrats Recently hunters shot a muskrat near Salzburg, Austria. Other musk- rats have been seen near Vienna. Be- fore 1906 this North American animal was unknown in Europe, but during that year a pair was brought from America and reteased on an estate near Prague. The progeny of these rats multiplied so fast that they soon spread to the Bohemian lakes and for- ests In splte of efforts to exterminate them. By 1913 they were all along the Moldau and along the Eger river in Bavaria. In 1914 they reached low- er and upper Austria to the south and Saxony to the north, Soon they crossed the Danube but seem to have been stopped by the Austrian Alps. When the first muskrats were brought to Bohemia it was thought that they jrould furnish fur, but the climate of Europe does not seem to develop a sultable growth. Central Europe sut- fers the damage caused by the ro- dents without the compensation of be- Ing able to use the skins. . How It May Have Happened “Halt, there!

MUCH IN WEST TO APPEAL TO TOURIST The men and women whose lives re- volye around New York or Boston or Philadelphia, with an occasional visit to London or Paris or Rome, are la- mentably ignorant of the romantic past and the almost boundless future possibilities of their own country, Is the assertion rhage by Lawrence Ab- bott In the Outlook.

New York farms are operated b: 25,000 forelgn-born and 165,000 na- tive farmers, Throughout the country there afe 7,000 Japanese and 600 Chi- nese farmers. Combination of Motions Motion pictures are in reality a combination of still pictures. The first picture of the automobile shows the spokes of the wheels in one position. If the next exposure of the film were made when spoke No. 1 had advanced far enough to be in the position of spoke No, 2, the picture would show no motion. as spokes are identical. If spoke 1 had advanced less than half- way to position of spoke 2, the for- ward motion would be noticed, If, however, spoke 1 advances more than half way to the observer, It would bave the effect of spoke 2 moving backward, as that distance would be shorter and the apparent motion would be in that direction, Sugar From Artichoke By a process discovered by expert: of the government bureau of stand- ards, sugar one and a half times as sweet as the cane and beet varieties may be extracted from artichokes Tke refining treatment necessary i+ so simple that, it is sald, the cost of manufacturing the product can be greatly reduced.
