Subscribe Now and Get the News While it's News. From present indications the annual session of the National Negro Business League which is to convene here next week beginning Wednesday and continuing through Friday night will be one of the largest in the history of this organization. President Fortune J. Weaver of the local league, in a statement to a Sun reporter, said that he was receiving communications daily from all parts of the country asking that accommodations be reserved for delegates and visitors who are planning to come here. The opening session Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock will be held in the pavilion of the Lincoln Electric Park, at which time the program will include speakers who are actively engaged in all lines of business. This opening session will last until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the public is cordially invited. Memorial Exercises. On Wednesday evening, August 16, memorial exercises in honor of the late President of the Business League, Dr. Booker T. Washington, will be held at Convention Hall. The program for these memorial exercises includes notable speakers of the race—men and women who by their activities were contributing factors in building up the Business League to its present proportions. Hon. Charles Banks of Mound Bayou, Miss., first vice president of the National Negro Business League, will preside and Hon. Emmet J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, secretary of the National Negro Business League, whose painstaking efforts, organizing genius and remarkable resourcefulness has made the Business League the power for good that it is, will be the first speaker. Considering Mr. Scott's worth to the League, and his intimate association with Mr. Washington for the past eleven years, no one is better qualified to speak of Mr. Washington's achievements. Following Mr. Scott's address, eulogies will be delivered by Hon. J. C. Napier, ex-registrar of the The Kansas City Sun treasury, cashier of the One Cent Savings Bank, Nashville, Tenn., and chairman of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League; Dr. Robert R. Moten, newly elected principal of Tuskegee Institute; Hon. Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Age; Mrs. Mary Josenberger of Fort Smith, Ark., lifelong friend of Dr. Washington; Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of The Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La., and Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, author, editor and orator of Louisville, Ky. Col. Simmons is a nephew of the late Dr. Washington and has achieved considerable success as a platform speaker. It is expected that a program of this character will bring to Convention Hall thousands of white and Colored people who were admirers of Mr. Washington's unselfish Life and who desire to pay a mark of respect to his memory on this occasion. Industrial and Fraternal Parade. The feature of the session Thursday, August 16, will be the Industrial and Fraternal parade, showing the progress of the Colored people in Kansas City. Mr. Q. J. Gilmore, chairman of the parade committee, issues the following announcement concerning the parade: The military organizations will assemble on the Paseo parade grounds, near 17th street.

Upon invitation of the Kansas City, Kansas, members of the local league, the session for Thursday evening, August 17, will be held at the Metropolitan Baptist church, 9th and Washington boulevard, the largest Colored church building in the State of Kansas. It is expected that the people on the Kansas side will manifest their Annual Banquet and Bail. Merchants' Association, and the National Negro Bar Association. The National Postal Alliance. The National Postal Alliance is an organization composed of the Colored men in all parts of the country who are employed by the government, including railway postal clerks, letter carriers and postoffice clerks.

Mr. Charles E. A. Starr is the chairman of the arrangement committee. His address is 1126 Washington boulevard, Kansas City, Kansas. Saturday's Outing. On Saturday morning the delegates will be taken around the famous Cliff Drive in automobiles and will have an opportunity to see this world-famous driveway. On Saturday afternoon delegates, visitors and a number of citizens from Kansas City will leave for Chicago, where they will be the guests of Hon. Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck & Co. Through Secretary Emmet J. Scott, Mr. Rosenwald has invited the League to come to Chicago and spend a day inspecting the magnificent plant of this famous mail order house. The members of the League and visitors will also be Mr. Rosenwald's guests for luncheon. The fact that this is the first meeting of the League since the death of its founder and president, Dr. Washington, emphasizes the importance of this session and the citizens of Greater Kansas City should feel a certain sense of pride in making the meeting a success. This can be done by supporting the various committees appointed by the local League and by turning out in large numbers to all the sessions. In no section of the country did Mr. Washington have more admirers and friends than in Greater Kansas City, and many recall his last visit here some years ago and the profound impression which he made at that time. Consequently these friends will pack Convention Hall to its capacity on Wednesday evening, August 16, on the occasion of the Memorial exercises in honor of his memory. It is the earnest request of the officers of the local League that all businesses operated by Negroes be fitly decorated. A majority of them have already volunteered, and it is urged that others will notify President Weaver of their intention to do likewise. Pennants especially made for this occasion may be secured from the Weaver Floral Company, 1510 E. 18th street. Let us all pull together for the success of this meeting and to the end that the delegates and visitors may be extended a most cordial welcome. Mr. J. O. Thomas and Mr. A. L. Holsey, representatives of the National organization, have been in the city for several days working in conjunction with the local League, and they have expressed themselves as being greatly impressed with the spirit of progress and co-operation which exists here. Headquarters of the National Negro Business League will be at the rooms of the Colored Waiters' Association. 19th街 and the Paseo. NOTICE. LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL Vice Principal H. O.

This parade created very favorable comment from the onlookers. On Tuesday, August 8, the United Grand Commandery of Knights Templars held its 35th Annual Conclave, which broke all records in point of attendance. The report showed a large increase in membership. The spirit of the Order aroused to a high pitch of enthusiasm, a fact which is evidenced in the circumstance that only one Commandery failed to make its return. When the roll was called at the opening of the Commandery on J. WEAVER Negro Business League. Grand Lodge Officers only two appointive officers failed to answer to their names. The Grand Commandery held an encampment in connection with its Annual Conclave, and it was here that the valiant Sir Knights fraternized done with another, swapped yarns, talked Templarism and slept out in the open air, a most delightful treat these sultry August nights. The Grand Commandery made an appropriation to purchase its own tents, and hereafter the cost of rental in connection with the encampment will be eliminated. The following Grand Officers were all elected by a unanimous ballot: F. R. Gr. C., Willis G. Mosely, Kansas City. (Continued on Page 8.) ? .

Omaha, Neb, August 7, 1916.— The wholly unexpected death Thurs- day afternoon of John Grant Pegg, eity inspector of weights and meas. ures, at his home, 4808 Patrick aye- nue, came as a distinct shock to his family and friends. Two weeks ago Mr. Pegg had what was then consid: ered a slight paralytic stroke from heat prostration and from which he was apparently rapidly recovering, and soon expected to be about his duties. Thursday afternoon he took a turn for the worse, Twenty min- utes after his death a telegram was received from his mother asking how he was. ‘Mr. Pegg was born in Richmond, ‘Va,, in 1868, and was raised and edu. eated in Kansas. Being the eldest of a large family he was forced early in life to earn his own living. For a time he followed railroad life, He came to Omaha in 1899, where he has since resided. He served as messen ger to Mayor Frank E. Moores from 1901 to 1906, In 1906 he was appoint ed by Mayor Dablman as inspector o! -weights and measures, which posi tion he filled for ten years to the sat {sfaction of the administration and tc the business public whom he: served ‘He was one of the best liked men or the city pay roll. He was a thirty second degree Mason, being a mem ber of Rescue Lodge No. 25. Mr. Pegg wus married to Miss Mar; Page of Topeka, Kansas, in 1899, ‘He is survived by his widow, flv children, Mary, a senior, and James 8 saphomore in the ‘high school; John Ruth and Gaitha; a mother, four brothers, James of New York City, Henry of Chicago, Charles of Oak- land, Cal,, and Bayliss of Omaha, and a sister, Mrs. Ida Prayther of Okla- homa City.

General Committee of Kansas City Baptists Declare in Their Last Com- munion That Superior Arrange- ments Have Been Made for the En- tertainment of ‘the Thousands Ex- pected There in September. From the headquarters of the local committee of arrangements in this city there came the information today that “AN things are ready” to give to the Baptists who are to assemble in their national convention here Sep- tember 6th such care and attention as has never been attempted by any lo- cal committee in the entertainment of the delegates since the convention was organized. “The West is bristling with the de- sire to show her best self and to stamp indelibly upon the hearts and minds of the people her big-hearted- ness, her golden opportunities and her burning desire to do honor to the largest gathering of religious workers in the world,” declared the commit- tee today when they sent out the fol- lowing general announcement: ‘The Committee of Arrangements for the National Baptist Convention which is to convene in Kansas City, September 612th, wishes to say to the public at large that, knowing as we do the coming of the convention will mean much to Kansas City and vieinity, as the largest organized body of its Kind is coming to the gateway of the West, and that this city with the. longest line of boulevard in America and the largest live stock exchange west of Chicago, a large number of big-hearted men and women await your coming. Both white and black are anxious that this be an ideal session. The many friends |and loyal supporters who are writing _us from various sections of the ‘coun- “try will be notified of their stopping places, Every effort is being made by the committee to make every mo- ment of your stay a pleasant one in levery way. ‘There will be splendid | transportation arrangements and fa- | cilities, as Kansas City is noted for jthe best street car system in the country. ‘The Commercial Club, the Business Men's League, the Medical Society ‘and other civic organizations are in [hearty accord with your coming to Kansas City.

The hospitality that the Negroes of this city have so far shown to visiting friends is not extraordinary, it is typical. This same feeling is always prevalent here; in fact, it is a habit of our citizens to be cordial and painstaking to strangers. In the recent August primaries in the young state of Oklahoma the unscrupulous politicians attempted, by a ruse, once again to steal the right of franchise from the Negro. But the voters of the state went down the line and defeated the bill. Much credit is due for this defeat to the Republican organs that pointed out in no uncertain terms that the bill, while appearing to disfranchise the illiterate population of the whole state, really meant only the restriction of the Negro vote, and further declared that proposed measure should be overwhelmingly defeated. This bill, under the form of the "grandfather clause," was favorably voted upon by the people of that state some years ago, but was recently declared unconstitutional by the United States supreme court. The death of this measure is an evidence that fair-play is taking on a vigorous life in our neighboring state, and indicates a move up front for Oklahoma. The epidemic of infantile paralysis which is raging to such an extent that the schools of New York City are likely to be closed for the good of the public, will do and render just as much anguish to the hearts of the mothers of this city if it once gets a firm hold. The old adage of "forewarned is fore-armed" should set the parents busy warding off the possibilities of this disease taking hold here by taking every sanitary precaution necessary. A few more days from now and the kiddies will be marching off to school. The parents should not allow the glamour of the many conventions meeting here to blind them to their duty of getting the children ready for the opening day. The children of this day and generation are the men and women of the next. A few days late in getting down to their studies often puts many boys and girls back a year or more in the time of their graduation, which might even prevent their ever getting the proper amount of schooling. The Fifteenth annual session of the Most Worthy Grand Lodge, A. F. and A. M., Missouri Jurisdiction and the Golden Jubilee, which convened in the city this week recalls to the minds of many of our older readers the memory of many noble men of the Missouri Valley who builted so firm a foundation that this splendid organization stands today an ineffacable monument to the greatest fraternity on the face of the earth. It is well. To, these noble sons—peace to their resting souls. Betty & Sam's Little Corner THEY SAY —That a young out of town Mason went strolling with one of the Kansas City girls and during the stroll his hand touched hers and she felt a big ring on his finger. "What kind of ring is that?" she asked. "The ring of a Knight," said he. "Oh, a night owl, I guess," she said. —That after a certain man and his wife had quarreled all night and recused their dispute the next morning the husband sneered, "It is a good thing I ain't got no gun." "You would shoot, would yo'?" "Yes," he replied;; "you'd go into hell on a flyin' machine this morning." —That a young Colored fellow carried his $10 panama hat to a professional cleaner and asked the price for cleaning the same. Seeing that the hat was a nice one, the cleaner said "One dollar and fifty cents." "Umph," answered this young worthy "and does you guarantee they don't get dirty no mo' at that price?" —That two prominent ministers were riding in a Pullman last winter, and when they were ready to retire both reached up and elapsed the little electric button and said, "Are you ready?" "Yes." So one turned off the lights and the other turned on the electric fan. By and by they called for another blanket of the porter and still later another. But it kept getting cooler and cooler. Finally they called the porter again and asked him if the steam was on and why it was so cold in their berth. "Well," said the porter, "if you turn that electric fan off, maybe it will get warm in here," and he turned it off. —That in a nearby town lives an old lady who can always find something good in everything. A few days ago John, the town's good for nothings died, and someone remarked to Aunt Mary, "John's dead, now, but it doesn't matter, for he wasn't any good." "Oh, yes, it does," replied Aunt Mary. "John could always whistle a mighty cherry tune." Rooms to Rent FOR RENT—Neatly furnished rooms, modern. Will let entire house to one party if desired. 1607 Harrison street.

Lamont, rector of the Holy Trinity Episcopal church at St. Joseph, has resigned to accept a call to St. Phillip's church, in Trenton. "Much corn on the higher lands is past help," says the weekly weather and crop bulletin issued at Columbia. "On heavier soils and in the bottoms it is somewhat more promising and a heavy general rain will make a fair crop." . . . Complete returns from the First district of Missouri give Judge M. A. Romjue, candidate for congress, a lead of 473 over Senator Charles Carter of Kirksville. The summer session of the University of Missouri has closed. The enrollment this year reached 1,314, two hundred more than that of any previous year. --- The prolonged drought which prevails over southern Missouri and northern Arkansas is resulting in unprecedented receipts of live poultry at Springfield and the five large packing concerns there are taxed to handle the shipments. Farmers are beginning to feel concern over the shortage of feed and are rushing their poultry to market while the fowls are fat. . . . the acreage of vacant government land in Missouri is now the smallest in the history of the state, according to a report just completed by John H. Bowen, register of the United States land office at Springfield. There are but 792 acres subject to cash or homestead entry. Ozark county leads with 211 acres and Shannon county is second with 128 acres. The will of Colonel W. H. Phelps, filed for probate at Carthage, leaves his entire estate, which is valued at about $1,000,000, to the widow and the three children, William H. Phelps, Jr., Mrs. Florence Phelps-Roberts of Omaha, Neb., and George Emmett Phelps, the latter a child by his second wife. * * * A complete new code of laws for Missouri children is embodied in the preliminary report of the Missouri code commission, appointed by Governor Major in June, 1915. A final report will be submitted to the next legislature. --- Oliver Holmes, 82 years old, former postmaster at Blue Springs, is dead at the home of his son-in-law, Charles Middleton of Oak Grove. Returns received show that Representative C. W. Hamlin of the Seventh district has been nominated by the Democrats. His majority over Sam W. Major of Fayette was 128. Sigmund Brugger, 55 years old, was killed and four others were injured, two probably fatally, when a motor car in which they were riding upset northwest of Springfield. Blaine Vawter, 30 years old, a coal miner, was probably fatally injured in mine 66 of the Central Coal and Coke Company at Bevier. He has a wife and two small children. Robbies broke into the postoffice at Galt recently and stole ten cents and the postmaster's watch. All other money and stamps had been put in the safe the night before. Walter T. Shoop, 52 years old, Democratic presidential elector from the Third Congressional District, vice-president of the Missouri Retail Hardware Dealers" association and ex-mayor of Richmond, is dead at his home in Richmond. Funeral services for Col. W. H. Phelps, who died in Rochester, Minn., were held in the Phelps home, Carthage. More than five thousand persons attended, including Lieut. Governor Painter, several state officials, senators and Democratic party leaders from all sections of Missouri Catholic services were conducted at the home. Ernest Sanders, 15 years old, a son of Henry Sanders, a Higginsville contractor, was drowned recently while swimming in a pond. What Did He Expect? For nearly an hour the salesman had been dilating on the marvels of the motor car he was trying to sell. "And the price of the car is $750," the customer murmured thoughtfully. "Does that include everything?" "Yes—oh, no, of course, the lamps are extra." "Lamps extra!" said the customer sharply. "But they are shown in the illustration." "My dear sir, so is a very beautiful woman," said the salesman smoothly; "but we do not give a lady with every ear!" Negro Business and Professional Directory of Greater Kansas City AUTHORS. MRS.

Someone has said that it takes big things to make big money. This is not only true in that case, but true in most things from a successful standpoint. It takes a big Musical Event to attract a Big Crowd, such an organization as has been secured for Patrons of Lincoln Electric Park, August 22nd. Yes, THE WILLIAMS WORLD FAMOUS COLORED SINGERS are one hundred per cent good, and possess many sterling qualities beyond those already heralded. "FAVORITES OF TWO CONTINENTS," is a tame term. With their vocal supremacy they are easily the leaders of song interpretation everywhere where they go. They have right people. Out of these are furnished the most brilliant soloists, the happiest trios, the most unique mixed and unmixed quartettes, and above all, a superb sextette in the most obdurate classic song. These people, if you will, are both harmonic and symphonic in their singing. Every song is enriched by the Williams Singers. Nothing is too difficult for them to sing. The program is just as apt to entrance you with the "Sextette from Lucia," or the beautiful "Il Trovatore," as it is to startle --- East 24th Street. APHERS. 18th Street.

There is "Queen Ester" and "Jeptha's Daughter," from local talent, and there is Madam Patti Brown, the "Colortura" of international note, and others of wide reputation. All of recent fame here. But now comes the brilliant Zenith, the High Altitude in entertainment, the exquisite total of all that is really musical—THE WILLIAMS SINGERS! The promoter, at considerable expense, bought the date, August 22nd, at Lincoln Electric Park. There will be given the most pleasing and solid attraction of the season.

The public is invited to attend. CURRY JOHNSON A Human Story by Charley A. Starks Strange are the workings of cir cumstance which* far surpasses the creative genius of the Fictionist Truth, as said, is stranger than fiction, that is because we take less trouble to learn her ways. Just what chain of events brought Curry Johnson last Wednesday morning to our door, a miserable object of pity, I have never been fully able to ascertain. Johnson's narrative ability proved rather incoherent and I could only catch a few intelligible words between the sobs and groans and moanings which he was loudly uttering. This much I knew, here was an anguished soul. The cry of heart was touching, the tear glands of the sufferer opened wide their gates and He cried. Yes, wept and prayed. It was here that I gleaned some idea of what was going on with that mind. Would you believe it? That the prayer started with a low mumbling of the Blues? At first I was inclined to smile at the apparent ludicrousness. "O, Lawd, you know I'm a po' boy and a long ways from home; just put me back to Louisiana and I promise to never leave no more; oh, oh, just put me back to Shreveport; I ain't got no education and don't know nothing; I'm a po' boy and I want to go home." I took in the situation at once, and attempted an interruption by asking his name. Without stopping his voluble flow of canting (for it was a cant) he told me: Latta Aug 4, "16 "My name is Curry Johnson," "I'm from Shreveport Louisiana." "Mr., I ain't got no education "And I don't know nothing." "Just help me back to Louisiana" "And I promise you I'll stay." "Oh, oh, Lawd, you know, Lawd" "That is where I want Lawd." Trying to quiet and console the lad, I took him in my arms as he was swaying to and fro and assured him that we would send him back to Shreveport, to his beloved Louisiana. With questions and a manifestation of interest in his cause, with proclaimed friendship and sympathy, and shall I say it? Yes! A Silent Prayer on My Part! that the Truth might be demonstrated. I was pleased to see a change. The vain apprehensions of the sufferer flied; Peace seemed restored to its rightful place; and the mind to its normality. Through following conversation I learned such de tail as I could. He had straved to these parts trying to reach Indian apolis, Ind. Friendless, penniless, physically and mentally weak, a child of the South, away from home in a deplorable condition. He was sent to me by a friend and brought to me by a stranger. For what? To work! That creature work? How could he? Weak, overwhelmed with sorrow, bowed beneath the weight of terrible circumstances, Work! Why, the child needed friendship, mercy, kindness. He needed consolation and he got it! From whom? From the Eighteenth streeter. From the citizens of the community in whose midst fate had cast him. From the passerby. From the business man, all glorious with the instinct of the human heart. Men! Men for humanity, Generous and Sympa thetic. And Curry, waif of the world slept—sleep in my parlor—sleep till night. Waking with a recurring thought of his plight, and succumbing again to the gathering clouds of his apparent destitution. For now his sorrows were less apparently real. Yet he could not restrain and again he wept. The outburst was strong. The loud prayer was in evidence. Over one hunch people gathered at our doors to learn the what. I consulted a friend. The friend advised sending the sufferer to the hospital. This I doubted, knowing medicine cannot reach the soul or heart. I observed to him that would be an easy way out of the situation, but would it be the Christian way? Anyhow, we decided to send him to the hospital mid the loud protestations of the unwilling patient. There! 'Tis done, said I. The case has ended, I thought, though I might make inquiries over the phone at times to learn his condition. And so I slept. The sun arose the following morning with its now accustomed sultiness. The day's traffic of business has begun. The hurry-scurry of 18th street is rampant. Laborers moving along to their tasks. The long orange-colored Vine Street car makes her graceful curve on Eighteenth street, laden with domestic attendants destined to the aristocratic homes, there to prepare the tda's first meal. All is incidental to the daily life in these parts. And the Old League Enterprise is a part of this! The sons of men are in and out its doors constantly. Townsmen, strangers, and what not. In this flow of humanity comes again the child of woe! What, Curry Johnson? Is it you. It is! The hospital has given back to the world what the world gave to it. Again I heard the wailing and lamentation; again God soothed and sustained. The crp of the hurt is hard. The anguish, the rending of heart is awful. But what must be the pain when ignorance and poverty lend their gruelling influences? These are the negatives that engulf and envelop in darkness. What to do with Curry was the all-fired question now. There was one thing he wanted and that was to go home. His distant Shreveport became his mania and threatened to consume him. The desolation of despair urged again the tears to flow which copiously gushed from their over-filled founts. One thing was decided, Curry must go home. How, was next. When, was purely problematical. Curry himself said: "Show me to the people, the people will help." This we decided to do. A typewritten statement was prepared which ran something like this: THIS CONCERNS YOU Here is an object of pity. A Human, suffering from injuries sustained in an accident while working in a saw mill. A crushed skull which has affected his brain, together with an imperfect operation, which has left CURRY JOHNSON in a miserable condition. Think of it! A long, long way from home. Illiterate, a mere child, weak, kicked and buffeted about the world in want of Human Sympathy! Great God! It cannot be true! Curry's all-consuming Prayer is to get back to Shreveport, Louisiana, his home. Shall we refuse substantial aid to send him there? The citizens are responding freely and manly as the following names indicate: Here those Noble names were inculcated. Then followed that sweet demonstration of sympathy the kindred touch of love. It was the contribution of the "Widow's Mite." For, say what we may, our average means are extremely moderate. The Eighteenth Streeter, as already mentioned, responded gloriously. With small contributions, in a comparatively few minutes, $7.60 was raised. Some one suggested that the Provident Association should help. These people were called and they readily sent their Colored Representative. Kind, gracious, active in the cause, the lady took up her investigation in an appreciable manner. It was soon discovered that the System of the Association prevented an immediate adjustment of the affair as already planned, and that it was absolutely necessary to gain some information, that was qualified, from Shreveport, ere they could act for co-operate with the citizens in sending the boy away.

Too much credit cannot be given the Negro Boy Scouts of this city for the splendid attention which they have given to visiting delegates of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Masons this week. They have escorted the various delegations from the Union Station to their stopping places, directed them where they wished to go and were courteous and attentive to the last degree. Special attention was given to the aged delegates, many of whom have been members since the organization, fifty years ago, of the Grand Lodge of Masons. These. Boy Scouts will also assist in the conducting of delegates to various places during the National Negro Business League next week.

The extended heel. This heel extends on one side underneath your instep and helps to take away the strain from your arch. The bottom of the heel is slightly raised. This tends to "tilt" your arch gradually back into the correct walking position. The curved "waist." This "waist" is the part of the shoe which covers your arch. It is made of soft, flexible leather so as to allow perfect freedom to your arch muscles. It is shaped to foot-form so as to hold your arch firmly in the correct position. The inside sole. This is scientifically built to form a perfect rest for your foot. Its special shape not only relieves your arch of strain but it also helps to keep the bones of your arch in place. The Crossett "Doctor" Shoe is the perfected shoe for preventing and correcting arch troubles. Like the other Crossett Shoes—it is famous for its comfort features. It has received the highest approval from some of the leading orthopedic doctors in Massachusetts.

He was reminded of the fact that he had received nothing but kind treatment here. But even this failed to soothe his apprehensions. His utterances were louder until we gave him the choice of either staying with us and awaiting developments or we would send him as far as our means would allow. We attempted to show him the logic of waiting but to no avail and he asked that he be allowed to depart. And so it was. A ticket was bought to Joplin and $4.00 was given him in cash. In addition to this he was given a suit of clothes, one extra pair of trousers, a suit of underwear, a shirt, a bath and the best hopes of a thoughtful class of citizens. Back to the South. 'Tis night! The stars are awake, winking and blinking in the blue-black heavens. The turmoil of a city's day is marked b by the half abatement of Humanity's mad rush for Gold which the evening abrogates. Horse and motor are seen moving in less numbers; pedestrians walk with more leisurely gait; the constant buz and hum, peculiar to the day, now sends forth intermittent sounds, but the street cars still rattle and rumble along with their urban patrons who probably seek not now the Eternal Medium of Exchange, but Recreation's softer God. Curry Johnson is now at the Union Station. This master structure, to him, is awinning. The colossal columns over head seem to reach the sky. Curry looks up and is thrilled, and like all others, feels his insignificance in such a building. Nevertheless, he feels a strange delight for some reason. Maybe it is his prospective trip. He was, at least, to start to his ever-dear Shreveport, the land of his birth. It mattered not if old man Keith, his former employer, was mean and hateful, and what if he did not pay but six bits a day? Couldn't he go to the country and pick cotton and eat watermelons? What if he didn't have any folkels there any more since his father died? He knew Doctor Henderson who had an automobile. Then he liked the Old Saw Mill even though it was there he got his skull fractured. Curry Johnson was human; he loved the place of his birth, even though it offered him nothing substantially encouraging. The "Eleven thirty-five" over the K.

When the American public reads that the troops of the Belgian Congo huve defented the colonial troops of German East Africa at Shangugu and that the victors are proceeding south- ward from Lake Kivu in the direction of Lake Tanganyika, it s hard to re- alize that the two colonial possessions fnvolved have a combined area four- fifths as large as’all of continental Eu- rope, the Russ\an empire excepted. Belgium's territory alone in this quar- ter of the globe is 80 times as large ‘as the mother country, while the pop- ulation of the Jungle wilds of the Congo basin is variously estimated at from 14,000,000 to 30,000,000. ‘The Ger- man colony is nearly double the area of the home country, while the popu- lation is estimated at 8,000,000, In both possessions, however, the number of Europeans, chiefly officers of the home government, does not exceed a few thousands, ‘Shangugu lies on the southern shore of Lake Kivu, which has an area al- most as large as the state of Rhode Island und Is nearly a mile above sen level, with gigantic voleante peaks looking down upon it from the north. ‘The most tuteresting settlement in German East Africa 1s UJiji, a town of 14,000 inhabitants, chiefly Arabs. ‘This slave and ivory mart of the nine- teenth century was first visited by Eu- Fopeans in 1858, when Richard Burton and J.

Milk production of the United States for 1915 was 11,590,000 gallons, or an average production of 537 gallons per cow. This production is equivalent to about 135 gallons per capita population of the country. At an average price of 20 cents per gallon, the year's production of milk is valued at about $2,320,000,000 to the farmers. On January 1, 1916, there were estimated to be 21,988,000 dairy cows in the United States, valued approximately at $3.90 per head, or an aggregate total valuation of $1,185,119,000 for all milk cows. The United States exported 9,850,705 pounds of butter, valued at $2,382,480 during 1915. Americans are great consumers of butter, and nearly more than 1,800,000,000 pounds is manufactured in this country, a large proportion of which is made at the farm home. The rural cremeries have proved a big factor in farming business, and form the center of marketing operations. The valuation of butter made in factories approximated more than $182,000,000 last year, while this season gives every indication of reaching the $200,000,000 mark. Farmers are finding that co-operative effort in the manufacture of butter obtains a higher market for them. The loss made in butter on farms has been tremendous. Dairy experts, by actual investigations, calculate that of the annual $182,000,000 product, on the basis of 30 cents per pound for butter at the local market, the annual average averages between two and five cents per pound, or from $30,000,000 to $50,000,000, due to the careless methods employed on the average farm. This great item of loss would save enough in a year almost to buy a moderate-priced automobile for every farmer not owning one. The increased high cost of dairy feeds has demanded that the dairy farmer become a specialist in cow rations. The profitable production of milk on a dairy farm involves two very difficult problems: The formation of a herd that will give in the milk pall liberal returns for the cost of feed and care, and caring for the ralk to keep it in the best marketable condition. It was found several years ago that two or three cows might be large producers while the remainder of a herd of a dozen cows would possibly fail to give sufficient milk to pay their board bill. This fact has caused the organization of the community cow-testing associations in various parts of the country, this work having as its object the calculation of the individual cow's production. By the aid of the Babcock testing apparatus, modern dairymen place their cows on record, giving due credit for butter-treated produce.

Chicago alone consumes 1,000,000,000 quarts of milk annually, while thousands of cans of condensed milk and pasteurized milk are used for breakfast. Milk is shipped from farms as far as 300 miles away, reaching the city in time for breakfast the next morning. Because of the immense demand for milk, the necessity of having it of the highest quality and the need for an economical method of collection and distribution, great milk companies were formed several years ago, which erected milk-collecting stations in Illinois and adjoining states, along the railroads, where milk is received for shipment. The milk thus received direct from the farmers is handled in the best possible manner, shipped in 40-quart cans, by the carload. The "milk train" is one of the common phases of all railroads connecting with a large American city today. The task of supplying great cities with milk has become a highly specialized industry. The process of gathering, transporting and distributing the fresh milk supply of a large city is one of the complex tasks confronting those who provide the country's daily food. The entire milk production of the country must be cared for every day. Fresh milk is the only product that must quickly come to the consumer. It cannot be stored when there is a flood of it and carried over until there is a shortage, although modern refrigeration has served to solve a part of this problem. Today's supply must meet tomorrow's demand. When one realizes that the city of Chicago must have 5,000,000 pounds of milk daily, it is easily understood that prompt conversion of this product into money is no small task. The changes in the geographic distribution of the population of the United States, in the centers of agricultural production, and in the methods of transportation have had a marked influence on the localization of the dairy industry. In early days the dairy farmer supplied demands within a restricted area, but the development of railroads and refrigeration has had considerable effect on the character of the industry in its centralization. Milk has been a food and drink for young and old ever since prehistoric times, and the reason for this is that milk is one of the most desirable of human foods. It remained for modern analytical processes to prove that milk is the cheapest and most valuable of food products, especially when compared with meat. The department of agriculture has discovered that for 25 cents worth of a given product, milk is a more valuable food than meat. The grim words employed by the South Carolina board of health, "A fly in the milk may mean a baby in the grave," have gone over the land and left their impression upon the minds of farmers and milk consumers. Flies bear germs, and a single germ in a milk bottle breeds a deadly million in a few hours. Too often during the last 50 years we have read of epidemics of typhoid and similar diseases being traced directly to a contaminated milk supply. Of all human foods, possibly none is more susceptible to contamination than milk, particularly in hot weather when in the months of June, July and August, the babies of the country die by the thousands. Diseases of the digestive organs cause 40 per cent of the deaths in many cities. Cow's milk is the exclusive food for a great majority of the American children up to the time they are one year old, and it is the chief food of practically all children from the age of one to five. The whiteness and opaqueness of milk serve as a covering and shelter for insoluble substances. The theory that clean milk possesses long-keeping qualities has been found true with certified milk. Instances are on record where certified milk has been taken on an ocean voyage and not only brought back in good condition, but also kept sweet until 30 days old. When your milk is sour after a few hours, it is certain that it is not clean milk. A number of certified milk dairies in the United States sent exhibits of milk to the Paris exhibition in 1900, and the milk kept sweet for two weeks.

A modern scoffer has recently asked whether it would be possible that Eve yielded to the serpent because he told her that apples were good for the complexion. Whether this argument was needed or not, there is no question that it is a true one. Nothing in all our varied and fascinating range of fruits holds quite the same quality as the apple. A raw, ripe apple at its best is digested in 85 minutes, and the malic acid which gives it its distinctive character stimulates the liver, assists digestion and neutralizes much noxious matter which, if not eliminated, produces eruptions of the skin. "They do not satisfy like potatoes," some people, to whom they have been recommended as food, have said, but the starch of the potato, added to the surplus of starch we are always eating, renders it undesirable as an article of too frequent consumption.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Is it not time, many ask, that the Negro care for himself, provide for his own intellectual and religious needs? For 50 years, now, he has been the recipient of aid from the philanthropic people of the white race. He has made marvelous progress toward self-support, has acquired large properties and self-direction, why should he not now become independent? Why should others continue to assist him? Why should money and men from the North be devoted to his upbuilding? This is a fair question and should be answered honestly. Let it be said then, first, that a half century is a very short time in the evolution of a race. To educate an individual is a matter of a generation, to lift a race from barbarism is a matter of many generations. The tremendous influences of heredity and environment must be overcome and changed from degrading into elevating factors in its development. Second, this question is not raised concerning any other of the great mission fields of the church. No one proposes to withdraw from China, India, or even highly civilized and normally Christian Europe. And we have been at work in these places much longer than we have been in the South. If these people still have need of us, much more does the Negro. The main reason why we are still in the South is that the Negro still needs us. While he has made great advancement it is true that he is yet far from the goal. Poverty, ignorance and sin still prevail. Unless the Christian people of the land continue to help there is danger that what has been done will be undone. Moral and intellectual inertia will prove too great for him, unaided, to overcome. He must still depend upon the stronger race. He needs their stimulus and help in his religious life—Northern Christian Advocate. The large number of colored pupils who were graduated from the grade and high schools should be regarded with much interest by the colored citizens especially. Many parents and aged grandparents witnessed these events, who never dreamed that the opportunity for a well rounded education would come in their own time. Twenty-four colored pupils were graduated from Manual Training and Shortridge high schools, one-third less than the number last year, while the total high school enrollment of colored pupils for the year was 314, as compared with 258 last year. The enrollment was: Shortridge, 174; Manual, 118, and Technical, 22. From No. 17 there were 59 graduates, 31 from school No. 26 and nine from the Douglass school, No. 19, while in addition to this number were several who graduated from white schools. The total number of graduates from the grammar grades the entire year was 176. The present 8b grades in many of the schools are decidedly larger than ever before, the class at No. 17 numbering more than 100. As only a small number of children quit school for any reason after reaching this grade, large graduating classes can be safely predicted for the coming school year. Considering that the colored people constitute about one-tenth of the city's population, the number to complete, both public and high school, would seem small, but compared with the size of the graduating classes ten years ago, the increase is appreciable. Those who have had experience with him under arms testify that the American Negro takes most readily and efficiently to soldiering. And this is testimony which it is interesting to consider now that it is likely that the first Negro regiment is about to be organized into the National Guard of the state of New York. Happiness and the light heart are among the general characteristics of the black soldier. He goes about his business singing. It is related that during the Spanish war the colored cavalrymen had hardly dug their trenches at Santiago before their smuggled musical instruments were out and the camp was a medley place of tunefulness. And there was a white colonel of the Twenty-fifth who was wont to boast of the chorus singing which he had made almost a part of the regimental drill. The same childish simplicity which t-apels to this bursting into song leads to an overwhelming respect for the men in command. Discipline once instituted comes to stay in a Negro regiment. Moreover, the rank and file carries so far its trust in its officers that Speaking of gun-shy dogs, it is not well to judge them too hastily. Sometimes it is the wonder of the gunner's uniform that makes the kioodle yelpfully beat it. Two Texan inventors have patented a set of vest buttons containing electric lights that are supplied with current by a pocket dry battery. The tensile strength of a paper fly-wheel is far greater than one made of iron. "Have some oysters, doctor. They are very good with a drop of tabasco sauce." "But they often transmit typhus." "A squirt of formaldehyde will fix that. James, pass the formaldehyde." "Where Men Are Scarce. "Do women dress to please the men?" "I have heard that question agitated and must decide in the negative. You must admit that women dress carefully for church." Several reasons have been given for the increased attendance, which is considerably out of proportion to the annual growth of the colored population, among them being gradual improvement in the economic conditions of the colored homes, the more effective compulsory education laws of the state and the growing demand for more service in the industrial as well as the educational field. Not a little influence has been exerted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the last few years. The organization, with headquarters in New York and local organizations in many of the large cities, has kept up a steady agitation along well directed lines to the end that the colored people throughout the country may awake to their educational need. Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, one of the leading educators in the colored race, is at the head of this movement—Indianapolis News. Oscar De Priest, the Negro alderman, has introduced an ordinance in the city council seemingly designed to protect Negroes in their civil rights. They are already protected by law which everyone knows is not strictly enforced or enforceable and will not be in this generation. Nothing is expected to come of the De Priest ordinance, which would compel the mayor to revoke license wherever proof was offered of an attempt to deny the civil rights of a Negro. Nothing will come of it, but it indicates that politics is trying to do harm. What politics is doing is to organize and keep agitated an issue which can find its solution only by not being organized and agitated. That is why, if white and black in this city have prejudices aroused, the responsibility will be on politics. If by arousing prejudices difficulties arising out of prejudice could be removed then there would be no objection to the method, but we do not feed a thing of that sort to kill it. In fact, the modus operandi in Chicago is as nearly perfect as human nature will permit it to be. It is a fiction that a Negro has full civil, meaning full social, rights in any American community. If the law protected Negroes completely and if they insisted upon exercising all privileges theoretically accorded them a general suspension of many lines of business would result. There would not be a hotel in the city. There probably would not be a restaurant or a theater and there might not be nearly so many churches. The facts candidly seem ugly, but custom and habit, undisturbed by agitators, make them harmless. They have been harmless and it is only disturbance that can make them ugly. Thoughtful Negroes know this. Self-respect has the same force with whites and blacks. The social relations in which the white and black parts of our population stand with regard to each other never will be determined by enactment of law or ordinance. They will be established by custom as it gradually is affected by time. Nothing can or will affect them except as they are affected by natural adjustment. The question even now is not one of civil rights but of social habit, and that has to be left to habit.—Chicago Herald. the captain of a company is quite apt to be the banker for his men, saving them from losses in camp gambling games. Passions and excitement move the disky soldier easily, it is true. To devotion to his officers, nevertheless, he adds pride in the service, ready excellence in the drill and a perfect willingness to follow where he is led. To ridicule, as a reproof, he is most sensitive. To the power of example he is keenly susceptible. To none of his white comrades is the appeal so effective as to him to perform for the honor of his race.—New York World. Government scientists in the Philippines are investigating the soap-making possibilities of a new oil-bearing nut that has been discovered. What has become of the old-fashioned woman who used to open a can of peaches when she had company at tea? It takes a cute girl to get so close to a man that it's impossible for her to get away if he should try to kiss her. An opening extends through a new rubber hot water bottle into which a glass bottle can be inserted to keep the contents of the latter warm. Clothesline holders in which the rope is gripped by eccentrically mounted wheels have been invented to do away with the necessity for props. A fuel economy exceeding 12 per cent is claimed for a French device that heats water before it reaches locomotive boilers with exhaust steam. Good Lights Necessary. Have you been using the same old sputtery lamps to read by. Then it is no wonder you are having trouble with your eyes. It pays to have good lights to work and read by. Better pay out money for good lamps than for speed tacles. There are a number of im proved makes of kerosene lamps that give a good, strong, steady light and also some very brilliant and economical gasoline lights. Some of these all most equal the brilliancy of electricity.—Exchange. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago) (Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR AUGUST 13 LESSON TEXT-H Cor. 2 GOLDEN TEXT- In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, it is more blessed to give than to receive. -Acts 10:26. Paul's letters to the church in Corinth are a divine commentary upon church government. A stricter adherence to the principles enunciated and a clearer interpretation of those principles to the church of Jesus Christ would save us from many errors and heartaches. In this rich and populous nation the lesson for consideration today is most vital, for it concerns one of the fundamental principles which unfairly the progress of mankind as well as the kingdom of God. 1. Cheerful Giving (vv. 1-7). One of the dangers assailing the early Christian church was that of division between the Jewish and Gentile believers. One party suggested that the Gentiles ought to have a closer union with the Jews; on the other hand, certain Gentiles could not see the necessity of the Jewish ceremonial, and in this Paul agreed with them, and therefore they refused to assume any unnecessary burden. The great feasts at Jerusalem were crowded with pilgrims, both Jews and Jewish Christians. The pilgrims were often very poor, and fatigue must have fostered diseases. Here then was a place where a work of ministry to the needy might be done with the money which had been systematically gathered through the weekly contributions of Christian believers. Note how skillfully Paul appealed to these Corinthians. He recognizes their forwardness of mind and their zeal (vv. 1 and 2, Am. R.). Most delicately does he compliment them upon their work, for, said he, "I glory in your behalf." He desired their collections to be a matter of bounty, and not of covetousness or extortion. Paul's principle of giving is that it shall be a matter of free and beneficent gifts, not a matter of covetous greed; not a quid pro quo. He says that they who sow sparingly shall reap sparingly. In the spirit of honour out a blessing upon others, those who sow bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Giving is sowing. Small, indeed, will be the harvest of many professed Christians when they reap according as they have given. True giving begins with the purpose of the heart (v. 7), but what a man purposes in his heart he must carry out in his actions, not "of necessity"—that is, because he is forced to. God loves the cheerful, glad giver who delights to see his hard-earned money going out of his own pocket into that of his needful brother, 11. The Results of Giving (vv. 8-15). The law of reaping according to the seed we sow and of reaping in proportion to the quality and quantity of the seed sown is also to be supplemented by the law of the necessity of systematic giving (See I Cor. 16:2). One of the sweetest and most cheerful and inspiring promises of the Bible is found in verse 8 of this section. "God is able." He is able to make all grace abound, and he does this "to the bountiful giver." Nothing more surely limits the measure of grace that we receive than our penurious, niggardy giving (Phil. 4:19 and context). This giving of grace is "in order that ye always having all sufficiency in all things may abound unto every good work." God's abundant grace is bestowed upon us that we may work for others, and live abounding, sufficient lives in everything. How poor indeed our lives must appear when measured by the standard of this verse. Literally this is "hilarious giving." God loves the full-souled, hilarious giver who gives time and money. Such giving is like unto God's giving, who gave his only begotten son. If we sow as God provides, he will multiply the seed for sowing and increase the fruits of our righteousness. If we do not sow, he will cease to supply. This liberality will work through us to others and thanksgiving to God on the part of those who receive (v. 11, R. V.). Such giving abounds to his honor and glory through the many thanksgivings which it will occasion (Heb. 13:15). The more we give, the more God will increase our power to give, and in this way we will be enriched in everything unto all liberality (Prov. 11:24:25). The church in Jerusalem, when the saints of Corinth had given proof by the ministration to their need, would glorify God for the obedience of the saints in Corinth and their confession of the gospel of Christ, and also for the liberality of their contribution unto them (v. 13, R. V.). They would repay their generosity with prayer (v. 14, R. V.) and they would long after them by reason of the grace of God which was in them. Paul's words about our giving with thanksgiving to God for his unspeakable gift—(See Ch. 8:9) the unspeakable gift of God, Jesus Christ (John 3:16; Rom. 8:32)—is an exhortation to us. Nothing should move us to give to others as the thought of what God has given of his very best and dearest for us. The Sunday school, as the training school of the church, ought to give instruction not alone in salvation truth and life teaching, but also in systematic giving. Train the children early to give to the church a portion of their substance, and they will learn to love it and support it in the years to come. Persistent practice is the secret of mastery here as in everything else. We say: "When a rich man dies he leaves all his wealth behind him." True, but it is also true that we change into the currency of the country to which we are going the gifts which we have given here. enroute to Sedalia, Mo., stopped over to spend a few days with Mrs. James Booze at 2815 North 7th street. ‘Mrs. Mary Bradford of St. Louis is spending a few weeks in the two Kan- sas Cities, the guest of her sisters, Mrs, Wyatt, 1909 North 6th street, ‘Miss Edith Nelson of Reno, Kansas, is visiting her sister and grandmother, 2116 North 3rd street.
