Dr. Robert Mitchell of Kentucky was called upon to preside and immediately he introduced the Rev. J. W. Hurse, pastor of St. Stephen's Baptist church and chairman of the local reception committee, who introduced W. C. Houston, attorney at law, who delivered an address of welcome as a proxy for Mayor Edwards. The Rev. W. M. Thomas, pastor of Allen Chapel A. M.

Crews, past grand master of the negro Masons, delivered an address of welcome on behalf of the negro business men and Negro press. A telegram was read from S. W. Brown of Columbia, S. C., announcing his serious illness. Responses to the addresses of welcome were delivered by Drs. R. B. Porter of Little Rock, Ark, and D. E. Over, pastor of Zion Baptist church, Denver, Colo. President Jones then appointed as a committee on finance the Revs. C. H. Clark of Tennessee, E. W. Bowen of South Carolina, D. B. Gaines of Arkansas, M. M. Haynes and E. H. Branch of Texas and John F. Thomas of Illinois, and as a committee on enrollment, F. H. Cook of Louisiana, G. B. Taylor of Tennessee, S. E. Piercy of Louisiana, D. Abner and M. E.

Campbell, president of the general convention of Texas; S. S. Jones, president of the Progressive Baptist convention of Oklahoma, and J. P. Robinson, president of the Progressive Baptist convention of Arkansas, were named to make preparations. Jubilee Songs a Feature. The devotions at the evening session were led by Drs. J. J. McCutchon of Kentucky and P. A. Prince of Texas. More than thirty minutes were given to the song service in which familiar jubilee songs were rendered. The convention sermon was preached by the Rev. John E. Wood, D. D., moderator of the General Baptist Association of Kentucky. Partial reports from the finance and enrollment committees were made.

Cakes, pies and fancy pastry. Perhaps the most hotly contested feature of this department will be the barbecue "Kings and Queens." There are several in this city claiming to be the "best." We will now have a chance to see just who can put up the most savory lamb or pork or other "venison!" This fair is the first of its kind to be given along these particular lines in this city on such a large scale.

WOMAN'S CONVENTION IN SES SION. Five hundred women, representatives from the various organizations of the church, are in session at the old HON. WILLIAM H. HARRISON, of Oklahoma, the noted lawyer who defeated the Jim Crow proposition before the United States Supreme Court who delivered a magnificent address before the National Baptist Convention. Highland Avenue Baptist church. The sessions are being presided over by Mrs. Prince, vice president at large. The women are pushing mission work and will contribute largely to the support and maintenance of educational institutions now being fostered by the convention, as well as helping in the foreign and home mission work. Mrs. Georgia DeBaptist Ashburn of Chicago and Mrs. Maude Smith Fuller of Austin, Tex., were elected president and secretary respectively of the woman's convention at 7:30 o'clock at night. One thousand laymen have already signified their willingness to enroll in the first laymen's volunteer convention that has been organized among Negroes in the United States. "We are going to have the laymen spirit of efficiency, the units which are an integral part of the grand scheme to promote economy art and science, three assets without which civilization is a byword and progress a vaunted musnomer. 10 support the convention as they should," said T. R. Morton, a layman of the Ebenezer Baptist Church of Pittsburgh, Pa. His church alone gives $100 a month to foreign and home missions and supports a missionary in the foreign field. Among the late arrivals is the Rev. E. R. Carter, D. D., the oldest pastor in point of service in Georgia. He has been a pastor of Friendship Baptist Church in Atlanta for thirty-eight years. The Rev. Ernest Hall of Atlanta and Ben J. Davis, who is to speak Friday night, also arrived yesterday. Little interest is being manifested in the election of officers in the convention as there seems to be no desire on the part of the delegates for a change in the official roster, and it is conceded President Jones and Secretary Boyd will be unanimously re-elected. Departmental Meetings Held. Departmental meetings were held by the various boards of the convention. Each board, through its chairman and secretary, carried through a kind of school of methods. Talks on education, home and foreign missions and illustrated lectures on the work of religious education were among the features. William Jennifer, representing the census bureau at Washington, D. C., was one of the principal speakers at last night's session of the convention. He gave a vivid explanation of the needs of a correct report by the convention as to membership and work, so that the government can have correct information when making up its religious census. Fifty thousand dollars was voted by the convention for the establishment of a theological seminary to be centrally located among the Negro Baptists. The needs of the seminary had been discussed, but the permanent location has not as yet been permanently decided upon. The place for holding the next session is not to be decided until tomorrow. Places already mentioned are Louisville, Ky., New Orleans, La., and Little Rock, Ark., with chances favoring New Orleans. The Rev. R. H Bovd, secretary of the publishing board.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS --- A wave of industrial prosperity and we have to revise our notions. The South wants the Negro, after all, and wants him so badly that it isn't going to let him get away if it can help it. Listen: "Americus, Ga., police and sheriff's "We have thrown out a draget for the agents who have been leading Negroes out of the country with promises of work in Connecticut," a special dispatch to the Atlanta Constitution reads. "Several industries have been paralyzed by the Negroes leaving their work." Then there is the old bogie of alien immigration. Listen again, this time to the Washington Post: "There is a growing need for common labor," which may become "so acute as to cripple industry" and which is "due partly to prosperity and parity to the impairment of immigration." The same paper summarizes the situation as follows: "Not long ago agents acting in behalf of the Russian government transported from Norfolk, Va., a complete force of shipbuilders, including foremen, draftsmen, mechanics and ordinary laborers. The shipbuilding force was removed in a body to Russia, so that the Russian government might have better facilities for shipbuilding. "The need for labor, both for agricultural and industrial development, is as great in the South as in the East. Recently two thousand Negro laborers left Savannah, Ga., to work on the Pennsylvania railroad. The laborers were taken from a point four miles out of Savannah because the local council had passed an ordinance requiring a $1,000 license fee for any agent sending laborers out of the state. "All of the factories in the South are taking precautions against draining of their labor resources. Their situation is not different from that which prevails in the East. Some months ago one of the large motor car companies in the East had a strike and within 24 hours agents of the large muni companies were on the field inducing the strikers to accept employment in the muniition plants." But suppose we follow the Negroes to Connecticut and let the Hartford Courant tell about it: "One way in which the labor shortage that has been felt in the North during the present period of intense industrial prosperity has been met is by the importation of Negro laborers from the South. The tobacco plantations in the immediate vicinity of Hartford have made particular use of this expedient. "Marcus L. Floyd, general manager of the Connecticut Tobacco corporation, now has 145 Negroes at work, and expects soon to have 200 working on the $20 acres that are being cultivated under cloth by the corporation. "On the Griffin-Neuberger plantation at Griffiths, Conn., there are now $8 Negro workers, and here will be 130 before the season is over. "These Negro workers are paid $2 a day and housed free." And here is the explanation: "The cause of the labor shortage in this section, according to Mr. Floyd, is that the high wages offered by mutilation factories to unskilled laborers drew most of them into the work. This with the fact that immigration has almost ceased." So the war, which brought the industrial prosperity and also cut off the immigration upon which American employers so long have depended, is to be both praised and biased. And in the The South Texas Colored Missionary Baptist association convened in its twenty-third annual session at Houston, Tex. Moderator Rev. A. T. Gordon called the association to order. The opening service of the prayer was conducted by Rev. B. J. Preacher of Galveston, G. W. Smith and D. Young, veteran ministers of the association, offered prayer. F. I. Richardson was elected reporter for the association. The moderator set forth the principles of the association. Rev. A. C. Ray and Rev. C. H. Jones, secretary and assistant secretary, respectively, were at the desk. Vice President Rev. J. C. Curtis presented Rev. C. H. Jones, who had been selected to preach the introductory sermon and his alternate, Rev. J. L. Lampley. Rev. C. H. Jones announced his subject as "The Certain Increase of the Kingdom of Jesus." He made a strong appeal to the ministers of the gospel to bestir themselves to active service. The following committees were announced: Finance, Revs. B. J. LeRoy, J. L. Lampley, I. G. Griffin, A. C. Carter, P. A. Pinkney; enrollment, Revs. W. H. Stewart, B. C. Carter, G. W. At the closing session of the National Negro Christian congress at the Cosmopolitan Baptist church, Washington, the following officers were elected: Dr. Simon P. W. Drew, Washington, D. C., president; Rev. Dr. W. H. V. B. Taylor, West Virginia, first vice president; Rev. Dr. W. R. Winston, Washington, D. C., secretary; Bishop J. J. Higgs, St. Louis, corresponding secretary; Rev. Dr. George W. Thomas, North Carolina, treasurer, and Rev. Leroy Frazier, Richmond, Va., organizer A patent has been recently issued to a Frenchman for a process by which petroleum and its derivatives may be transported without the least danger of explosion during handling in shipment. The process consists of making the oil into a solid by the addition of a solution of soap in the proportion of one to fifty of oil. This makes the mass of gelatinous consistency, which renders it entirely safe. The material may be lighted with a watch, but it will burn so slowly that meantime there is only one result in sight, the wages of the common laborer will advance sharply, in the South to keep the Negro at home, and in the North to lure him away from Dixie. Among the recent promotions in the army was that of Maj. Charles Young, Tenth United States cavalry, to the grade of lieutenant colonel. Special interest attaches to this case for the reason that, although Colonel Young is not the only colored man to have been graduated from the United States Military academy, he is the only man of his race to have reached the rank of lieutenant colonel, the second highest in regimental organization. He was graduate in 1880 and most of his service has been in the Ninth and Tenth cavalry, in which he rose gradually to his present rank. For nearly a year, while holding the rank of first lieutenant, he was attached to the Seventh cavalry, a white regiment. During the Spanish war he served as major of the Ninth Ohio colored infantry, a regiment he helped to organize. For several months past he has been serving with his regiment in the punitive expedition to Mexico under General Pershing. In addition to Lieutenant Colonel Young, there are eight other colored men holding commissions in the army. These are: Maj. John R. Lynch of the pay corps, formerly a member of congress, who is retired; Capt. John E. Green, Twenty-fifth infantry, who is military attache at Monrovia, Liberian; Capt. Benjamin O. Davis of the cavalry, who is military instructor at Willberforce university, Ohio, and Chaplains W. W. E. Gladden, Twenty-fourth infantry; George W. Prioleau, Twenty-fifth infantry; O. J. W. Scott, Tenth cavalry; Louis A. Carter, Ninth cavalry, and T. G. Stewart and William T. Anderson, both of whom are on the retired list. Chaplain Anderson has the rank of major, the others being either captains or first lieutenants. In the period covered by one vigorous manhood, approximately coincident with the half century following emancipation, things changed very much for the American Negro. He more than doubled in numbers and accumulated wealth exceeding $700,000,000. His school property for higher education built and paid for in that time amounted to $20,000,000; his church property to $70,000,000. In the half century the percentage of literacy was raised from 5 to 70. At its close there were 1,700,000 Negro children in public schools instead of a meager 10,000 in 1863. The number of Negro churches was increased from 550 to 40,000; the number of communicants from 550,000 to 4,300,000. Sunday schools increased from 200 to 41,000 and pupils from 10,000 to 2,200,000. This is a very creditable record for an uneducated, illiterate race suddenly thrown on its own resources in the midst of a highly organized white civilization, which had no place ready for its former slaves. And the Negroes are by no means standing still. They are entering every branch of business and making good; they are rapidly extending their real estate holdings; they are giving themselves a secular and religious education that ranks high in the Christian world. What their future in this country will be no man dares to prophesy, but undoubtedly they will be ready to meet boldly and capably whatever fate has in store for them. They have learned to stand on their feet. Mitchell, H. Willis, B. J. Preacher. Vice Moderator Rev. J. C. Curtis called the afternoon session to order. Rev. T. Wesley, assisted by Rev. I. S. Ambrose, conducted the devotional services. Invocation by Rev. I. C. Capital and Dr. J. E. Edwards of Temple conducted the Bible institute. The committee on finance and enrollment made its first partial report, which was adopted. Membership of banks in the National Negro Business league has grown from two, in 1900, to fifty-one at present. This fact was brought out in the discussions before the seventeenth annual session of the league at Kansas City, Mo., emphasizing the service the organization, which was founded by the late Booker T. Washington, is giving to the Negro business interests of the country. An address on the Negro state guaranteed banks of Mississippi by C. B. King of Indianola, Miss., was on the program. Health and business prosperity, the raising of cattle and the management of various business enterprises were discussed by the delegates. When Company A, Cardington, O., of the Fourth regiment, went to Camp Wilson it had eleven pairs of brothers, two pairs of fathers and sons and fourteen men over six feet in height. Company A is the youngest in the state, having only been mustered into service June 8, eleven days before the mobilization call. It has 100 members.

S. Daly Is World's Greatest Expert on Possibilities of Missouri Hybrid. IN CHARGE OF PACK TRAINS Has Devised Many Improvements in This Method of Transportation—Conducts School for Muleteers on the Border. San Antonio, Tex.—H. W. Daly, chief packer of the quartermaster corps, U. S. A., the greatest expert on the possibilities of the Missouri mule on earth, is here. His duty is the organization of ten pack trains and he is conducting a school for muleteers. The model class of the school comprises one gray bell horse and a company of 64 white or gray mules—all "veterans," for this is the pack train that crossed into Mexico with Sibley soon after the Glenn Springs raid. Here is an inventory of a pack train: Packmaster, who gets $100 a month but no rations; "cargador," $60 a month and rations; blacksmith or horseshoe; $75 a month, but no rations; cook, $40 a month and rations; ten packers, $50 a month and rations. Each individual in a pack train has his own mount, so there are to be 14 riding mules and the remainder—50 animals—carry the packs. The duties of the bell horse are to lead the procession. As a general thing, each pack mule will walk away with a minimum load of 250 pounds, so that means something more than six tons of cargo to the train, and if need be the cargo can be raised to eight tons. Over in the Philippines one of Mr. Daly's mules rumbled around on mountain trails with 540 pounds aboard and the load happened to be a mountain howitzer. This mule, while not awarded a medal, was nevertheless a hero and saved the day, for the howitzer put to rout any enemy apparently untouched by mere rifle fire. When packers become proficient they should be able to load a mule in about thirty seconds. As Daly figures it, two months are required to turn out a first class pack train of the sort above criticism. Many Years a Packer. Nowadays the "aparejo," or pack saddle, which Daly invented for our army, is made to conform to the mule so there is little possibility of the heavy load chafing or injuring the animal's back. Daly's experiences as a packer started in the spring of 1865 when he crossed the British northwest territories from Montreal to Vancouver and was employed in bringing in supplies on mule back to the Canadian mining camps. Then he engaged as packer in many Indian campaigns of the United States army, including the operations against Geronimo. When the Spanish war broke out he was working on a railroad in Mexico. He enlisted immediately and went to Cuba. After the campaign he was called to Washington, where he devised improvements in pack-train transportation. He also went to West Point to lecture. From 1902 to 1909 he was stationed at Fort Leavenworth and there made further improvements in field artillery, mountain and machine gun, engineer, signal, hospital and ordinance corps pack equipment. On February 13, 1903 he was made chief packer of the army. "For mountain work no substitute to take the place of the mule will ever be found," said Daly.

The ceremony began at 11 o'clock but was not finished until shortly after midnight on account of a thunderstorm some place on the line. This form of ceremony was made necessary by the fact that Brugger, who is engaged in building grain elevators, could not leave Montana, and Miss Hudnut's parents would not permit her to come to Montana until she was the bride of Brugger. TEN IN FAMILY STRICKEN Measles Attack All But Father In Illinois Home—Scares Health Officer. Pana, Ill.—This discovery was made here recently of ten cases of measles in one family and the board of health immediately ordered a strict quarantine upon the home. The cases are in the family of Edward Bland on Wyandotte street and include every member but Bland. Those ill and bedfast are Mrs, Ella Bland, the wife and mother, and these children: Mrs, Mary F, Harlow, thirty-six years of age; William D, Bland, twenty-one years of age; Levi Bland, eleighteen years old; Mamie Bland, fifteen years old; Gertle Bland, twelve years old; Susanna Bland, ten years old; Irene Bland, seven years old; Calart Bland, aged four, and Fannie Bland, aged three. President William Fisher of the health board beat a hasty retreat from the Bland home when he went there to investigate, believing that he had found his way into a veritable nest of smallpox. Later physicians diagnosed the disease as measles. None of the cases are considered serious at this time. DISCOVER GOLD IN THE SAND Find in Minnesota Creek Causes Fever to Spread to Whole Surrounding Country. Austin, Minn.—Gold has been found here in the sands of the Cedar river. Samples sent to assayers recommended by the treasury department at Washington were found to run as high in value as $1,664.80 a ton. The appearance of the mineral, known as float gold, in banks of the stream has caused the fever to spread to the surrounding country, and farmers now are sending samples out for authoritative inspection. The first find was made by Mrs. Daisy Dalager during the excavation for a cellar. STARTS JUVENILE POLICE Internaional Film Service Harry H.

GIRL DIES AS PREDICTED Fortune Teller Told Pennsylvania Girl to Avoid Trips on the Water. Phoenixville, Pa.—The body of Dorothy Barr, the seventeen-year-old girl of this place, who drowned in the Schuylkill river, was found about one mile from the spot where she lost her life when her canoe upset. Lock Tender Hennessy, at the Pawling locks, saw the body floating in the river and recovered it from a boat. The drowning of Miss Barr and the finding of her body followed the prediction made a week before the girl's death by a fortune teller whom she and a girl friend consulted in a spirit of fun. The seer then told Miss Barr to avoid all trips or voyages upon the water, and said she would take such a trip and would drown. The fortune teller also predicted that after four days her body would be recovered. The girl laughed at the clairvoyant, but the prophesy was vividly recalled to the mind of her companion when the body was recovered. SON COMMANDS HIS FATHER Latter Is a Private in a Militia Company, and Former Is Lieutenant. Kansas City, Kan.-The regular order of things is that the son should take orders from the father. But in Company A, Kansas National Guard of Kansas City, Kan., this order is reversed in the case of William Firstenberger, father, and Alfred Firstenberger, son. William Firstenberger, although postmaster of Kansas City, Kan., and an important appearing person of some 250 pounds, is just a private. Alfred Firstenberger is Second Lieutenant of the company, much smaller in size—but possessing authority. So when Son Firstenberger issues orders "Pa" Firstenberger, although he may be a bit tired—or perhaps differing in opinion—must obey them. In this case the son has to be obeyed.

NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON Senator Kern Discovers Bad Case of Ignorance Senator Kern Discovers Bad Case of Ignorance WASHINGTON.—Senator John W. Kern of Indiana had an experience the other day which he will not soon forget. He was crossing the plaza east of the capitol when he was halted by a man and woman with question and hesitated just a second, puzzled to know whether the man was making game of him or whether he did not know it was the United States capitol. Presently he replied with a critical smile, "That is the United States capitol." The man noted the smile and resented it at once. "Well, I do not see any sign on the building to designate what it is." Senator Kern instantly replied, "No, they take the sign down in hot weather, it warps." Is there a man, woman or child in the United States who has not at some time or other seen in pictures the great white dome of the United States capitol? Once seen it could not possibly be forgotten. There is not another thing like it in the world, and that any human being would not recognize the Washington monument or the United States capitol building upon sight is almost too incredible for belief. But Senator Kern tells this story, so what are you going to do about it? Washington Folk Rediscover the Potomac River Washington Folk Rediscover the Potomac River FROM one standpoint the prolonged session of the Sixty-fourth congress has only been prolific of things political, but it has also served to give Washington a place in the hearts of a large number of transient residents only to covery of the Potomac river through the beautiful drives and walks established along its banks, the capital need no longer hold terrors for those who must remain within the ten-mile limit of the District. No less a personage than President John Quincy Adams waded through the marshes and tangled grass to the banks of the Potomac for an early morning dip, while the same interesting proceeding is recorded of President Taylor. Today one meets high officials bent upon the same errand, and almost at the same hour of the morning—just about seven o'clock. The secretary of state and Mrs. Lansing are investigating the charms of the municipal bathing pool with covetous eyes, and Mrs. Lansing longs to try out the skill acquired during the winter months at the natatorium on Capitol Hill. Senator and Mrs. Morris Sheppard can tell you just exactly to find the best spot in the pool for striking out, or a dive, or just merely to take it easy and float. Often their companions in the pool are Representative and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, both of whom love the water and are expert swimmers; or Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Day, son and daughter-in-law of Mr. Justice Day, or Representative William P. Borland. The various pools and basin are so conveniently located that the wonder is that society folk have not long ago found them out. Colonel Harris had personally to conduct some of the parties to the very water's edge before he could convince what a treat was in store for them. A whole cabinet family of enthusiastic swimmers is that of the secretary of war and Mrs. Baker, who often take a plunge twice a day. They have an ideal pool at In the Woods, the Fatchild country place they leased for the summer, and it is supplied from an artesian well, the water of which is so clear that one may see the bottom of the pool. What Uncle Sam's Expert on Charred Money Does MANY thousands of dollars are saved annually for the good, but often careless, people of these United States by Mrs. Amanda E. Brown, the charred money expert of the treasury department. It is Mrs. Brown's duty department are to the effect that if a bill can be successfully put together so that two-fifths of it are found, half of the value is refunded; if three-fifths can be put together the whole value is refunded. Not so long ago someone sent a large number of very small bits of a bill to the department with a statement that they represented $224. The letter was accompanied by an affidavit to that effect. After many days of work on the part of Mrs. Brown the bits were put together, and it was found that they made a complete one-dollar bill. The frost line can be traced through the United States each autumn, treasury officials say, through this redemption work. Farmers and others have a habit of hiding money in their stoves. When they light up for the winter, the money is forgotten until it is burned, and the ashes and pieces are sent to the treasury for redemption. Beginning in the North, this same thing occurs until even the Southern farmer is turning in his burned money, when he gets cold enough to light his stove. Each year more than 2,000 such cases are sent to the department.

The big fat man who approaches the rail with a confident smile and bangs unsuccessfully 20 times, and then explains what a wonderful shot he once had been, was there. The tall, thin chap, who seems to strain under the weight of the gun and complains of his bad sight, was also there. He squinted 40 times before pulling the trigger, just to prove his assertion. Also there was the athletic fellow with the bulldog jaw who went about shooting targets as though it was part of his day's work. He took his time and hit the bull. And, best of all, there were pretty young girls, anxious to be instructed. The only trouble the instructors had with them, after getting them to hold the gun, was to convince them that it was impossible to hold one's hands over one's ears and fire the gun at the same time. And the little scream came every time the rifle barked.

The river for water sports, the fine parks and country roads for driving, country clubs and roof gardens, both private and public, and numerous delightful places for dining al fresco are all revelations to those who see the capital only in its midwinter or early spring aspect. Not even by the greatest stretch of the imagination could one call Washington a watering place, or even a summer resort, but since the rediscovery of the Potomac river through lished along its banks, the capital nee must remain within the ten-mile limit.

By Benjamin V. Longdon. As we visited the home of the Kan- sas City Sun last week and saw the staft at work from the editor down, we were reminded that centuries ago such honorable workers were de- spised, It is sald that Sir Walter Scott was obliged to conceal his busi- ness partnership in the publishing house of Constable Brothers in order to preserve his social standing. The whole of the past is one long, dark story of the despising of honorable workers and the exaitation of gilded idlers. What makes it vorse is the undoubted fact that people really did not know better, ‘Then the press, the noble ally giving itself without stint ‘or apology to the people who were making a noble fight for sobriety, de- ceney and morality, was unrecognized. But the clouds have vanished. Under the influence of Christian teaching ‘we see nowadays the need of a worthy publication, It is quite impossible to understand our time, our institutions, our business enterprises, without read: ing a Negro newspaper. One reason why so many crude, ill-digested views are so widely accepted is found in the widespread Ignorance of what is being accomplished by our energetia men and women. c For instance, the state and national meetings held’ in Kansas City, Mo during this month found a noble ally in the Sun. From day to day it held up to the public eye the personnel and proceedings of the daily sessions. Its news and editorial columns were constantly in service to bring to light the ways of those who promote and protect the fraternal, religious, busl- ness and professional side of our peo- ple, The Sun is among the foremost of our newspapers of the land, and it leads in the courageous and insist- ‘ent advocacy of everything that con- ‘tributes to advertising the worthy ‘achievements of the Negro. Yea, The ‘Sun is in the fight for a nobler race, and the individual, white or black, on the firing line of progress, has in The Sun a noble ally. “Then hall to the Press! chosen | guardian of Freedom! Strong sword-arm of justice! bright sunbeam of truth; We pledge to her cause (and she has but to need them), ‘The strength of our manhood, the fire of our youth.” THEKANSASCITYSUN All communications should be addressed to The Kansas City Sun, 1803 East 18th Street.

What has become of the old time colored man who used to lay in a supply of potatoes, meat and fuel for the winter? Thirty per cent of the week's enrollment in the colored schools entered after the first day. Is it impossible for us to be on time? Probably it will be claimed later on that, in shipping whiskey to his customers in coffins, Mr. Gardner was only trying to show where the use of the fiery fluid finally led its victims. We don't hear a word this year from our Democratic friends on the subject of "the higher cost of living" though there is more to say on the subject now than ever before in the history of the country. It must not be forgotten that Samuel Gompers is a Democrat and it must not be overlooked that President Wilson has favored him by appointing hi sson to a good job and has appointed a score or more of his special friends otherwise. This knowledge will serve to explain some things. Senator James A. Reed solemnly declared in the Senate the other day that if Hughes is elected we will surely get us into the war. And as if this were not sufficiently ridiculous, he added the assertion that a victory for Mr. Hughes would "destroy our prosperity." If this is Jim Reed's estimate of the intelligence of the people of Missouri, he is destined to run up against the horse-laugh. Now that Mr. Hughes, the Republican candidate, has visited Missouri in the midst of a gracious demonstration of patriotic enthusiasm, the Republicans are well able to understand why the Democrats insist that his campaign is a woeful failure. There is plenty of occasion in the Hughes tour for Democratic disappointment. Kansas City needs a Negro Civic Betterment Society made up of men and women of intelligence and freedom from political aspirations. For the immediate work of such an organization we suggest: (1) The higher welfare of our public schools, (2) the abatement of the parlor buffets, (3) the breaking up of policy gambling, and (4) the riddance of immoral houses. The Sun extends a welcome greeting to the one hundred Negro teachers who this week took up their annual task of training our boys and girls. Several specially trained teachers are upon the roster this year in addition to those who by reading and summer study have always kept abreast of educational progress. Let us set our mark high, work toward it with patience and assiduity, hoping for the sure end—success. Spealing of Col. Fred Gardner's playful habit of shipping contraband firewater to dry districts in coffins and hollow canes, Senator E. L. Moore, of Lamar, a Democrat, said that the "practice was so damnable and contemptible that no man who engages in or sanctions it should be nominated for governor of anything except hell." This is strong language, but it comes from Mr. Gardner's own political household. The Republicans of Missouri are this year in winning spirit and have winning numbers, but they must always keep in mind the fact that they cannot win without getting to the polls. The best agency to a full vote is a complete and efficient organization, which is only possible through general and patriotic co-operation. Missouri's place in the Republican column can be made permanent this year if every believer in the cause will do his duty. --- All that is left of the Progressive ticket in Missouri is the candidacy of Joseph P. Fontron for governor and it is not believed that will survive long, for the reason that Mr. Fontron is at heart a Republican and infinitely prefers Democratic success in the coming campaign. H. T. Poindexter, the new chairman of the Progressive state committee, is openly for Hughes for president, as is practically every other Progressive in the state except former Judge Albert Nortoni, who persists in the role of Democratic Aid Society, in spite of the fact that only a few months ago he joined heartily in the denunciation of Wilson and Democracy at Chicago. The National Baptist Convention (unincorporated' is a magnificent gathering of earnest and devoted men and women and embraces some of the most brilliant and successful Negroes of America. While it is only a part of the great Baptist denomination in this country, yet we venture the assertion that its rank and file is composed of the most progressive as well as the most representative members of that denomination in this country. They are imbued with a spirit of Right and Justice and are exhibiting a militant spirit which augurs well for the success of the principle for which they are contending. That two factions will ultimately be consolidated and harmonized every right thinking man and woman hopes and prays for, but when that consolidation comes we venture the assertion that the principles for which the so-called Boyd faction are contending, will be accepted as the principles of the whole church. The Sun bids you welcome to our city. Little Corner THEY SAY —That many a home has been broken up by a best friend. —That it's just over the hill, boys. —That a clean collar and a suit of clothes never made a gentleman. It requires birth and training. —That the old time love which used to promise to stick "for better or worse" hain't no moh. —That the guy who's looking for something for nuthin will find in awful hard in K. C. —That the average Negro restaurant wants to serve five dollars worth of meals off a quarter's worth of steak. Well ain't meat high? That that was an awful trouncing a certain Miss received at the hands of an irate married woman the other day. Guess who? That the elegant newly installed Y. M. C. A. Barber shop makes the Kansas City Building one of the most complete Association buildings in the United States. That the Baptist Convention being held in Kansas City will scare the Convention in Savannah into Holy fits when they hear that there were 4,000 delegates and visitors in attendance. That there are a whole lot of people in this old town that can attend Conferences, Associations and Grand Lodges, but they never find money to pay their subscriptions. Well you ain't talking about me. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1916 MASONS, ATTENTION. Official Notice. To the W.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1916 JIM-CROWING THE NEGRO VOTERS OF MISSouri ANNEX TO THE REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE RE SENTED. LEADING MEN OF RACE ENTER VIGOROUS PROTEST WITH A NOTE OF WARNING. But for the dominating influence of the "grafter," the "demagogue," the "political "fool," professional "plee" hunter, "chronic" office seeker, and pretended Negro-vote "toter," Grand Old Missouri would be as safely Republican as Pennsylvania. Just now when the hopes of the honest voters, to carry the state for Hughes, Fairbanks, Lamm, and Dickey, are brightest, the above characters make their triumphal entry into the political arena. The Republican national convention nominated two of the ablest and best men of the nation to lead the people to victory and prosperity in November, and they, accepting the high honor conferred upon them, have unfurled the banner of "AMERICANISM," and are appealing to the patriotic men and women of the Republic to enlist beneath its folds. But away out here in Missouri, where the people have suffered most as a result of Democratic extravagance, and Democratic misrule, a handful of fool Republicans—professional handlers of Negro voters—are trying to undo the good work that is being done by Jurge Hughes and the National Committee, by trying to divide the voters of the party into race groups, and in this "dirty" work, they are being aided and abetted by one or two black political vultures whose creed is "graft" whose politics is unknown, and whose influence is "nil." It would seem that after a dozen disastrous defeats, the Republicans of Missouri would no longer countenance the influence? of these party wreckers. But for their pretended ability to handle the Negro voters, they would be without standing in the party and visible means of support. The time is now when the Negro must be accepted into full membership of the party or his help will be withdrawn. The Negroes of the state neither want nor need an Auxiliary to the Republican State Committee, and we demand the defeat of this and all other Jim-Crow measures now under consideration by the state committee. We want to see the party win in November, but victory can only be achieved by honest effort. The Kansas City Sun serves warnings now, that it will stand for and demand a square deal for the Negroes of Missouri, and in this stand will be assisted by the best men of the state—men like Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, Prof. J. Silas Harris, Hon. L. A. Knox, Hon. C. H. Calloway, Hon. W. C. Hueston, C. K. Robinson, F. J. Brown, Dr. W. H. Peck, Dr. J. W. Hurse, P. C. Givers, Prof. W. O. Nance, Prof. Hugh Wallace, Hon. R. L. Logan, Chas H. Turner, H. B. Bradbury, O. L. Thomas, Chas. P. Covington, E. J. Cooper, W. W. Fields and a few hundred other leaders of the race. FIRST TO SELL COTTON. Albany, Ga., Aug. 11—The first bale for Georgia, so far as is known here was marketed July 22 at Pelham. It was raised by Ned Sanders, a Colored farmer, in the western part of Mitchell county. He is the same farmer who raised Georgia's first bale last year. The first free musical concert of the season given at Lincoln High School Auditorium last Sunday afternoon was one of the most pretentious and delightful affairs that has ever been given in musical circles in this city. The orchestra was good and comprised about sixteen pieces. The male chorus was excellent, the piano solo by Miss Cora Carr was in epping with her reputation as a high class musician. Major N. Clark. Smith was exceedingly happy in hi vocal selection; Mrs. Grant Hardy again demonstrated that as a lyric soprano she has few equals in this country, while the singing of Miss Anna Smith was a revelation and carried the immense audience by storm. Her "Prelude to a Cycle of Life" was magnificently rendered with all the finesse and finish of a perfect artist, but it was in her Norwegian love song entitled "Synnove's Song" that she demonstrated the wonderful range and possibilities of her magnificent voice. That no doubt in the future that when Miss Smith is announced to appear upon any program in this city (judging by the remarkable ovation given at the completion of her numbers last Sunday which she was compelled to acknowledge by rising two or three times) that she will be greeted by a capacity audience. Possibly the most brilliant and difficult selection upon the program was the quartette from Rigoleta by Verdi sung by Mrs. Grant-Hardy, Miss Smith, Prof. Reynolds and Major Smith. We would not forget Miss Buelah Douglass who presided with her usual masterful and impressive style at the piano. It was a most auspicious opening of the Lincoln High School Community series and reflects great credit upon both Prof. Lee and Major Smith. MME. A.

Sketch Shows Model in Soft Silver Gray—Collars and Trimmings of Rich Fur Accompany Coats Made of White Linen. My drawing shows a linen costume which was specially created for the racing season at San Sebastian, writes Idalia de Villiers, special correspondent of the Boston Globe. The color of the suit was a beautifully soft silver gray, and the panel embroideries on the skirt were executed in washing silks in the same color. The coat had an exceptionally full basque and the waistline was very slightly raised. Then there was a superb collar of chinchilla. This suit was created for a well-known Spanish beauty who has a villa at Biarritz, and who never fails to tinka a sensation, by reason of her wonderful clothes, on the Grande Plage in August and September. This same lady has ordered a number of linen suits in brilliant colors, such as sapphire blue, orange, rose Dubarry and Czar violet. Almost all these linen coats have collars or trimmings of rich fur, and they are to be accompanied by fragile blouses in filmy tulle and by large flat-brimmed hats covered with hatter's plush or crepe de chine. Linen suits in very brilliant colors will play a prominent role in the world of fashion this summer. They will be simple in detail but highly original in design. They will vie with the dend white dresses and THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Smart Tailor-Made of Silver Gray Linen Embroidered and Braided to Match Collar of Chinchilla. tailored suits which are so dear to the hearts of our more exclusive Parisiennes. As I said, in a recent article, the true Parisienne will wear pure white, black and white or soft gray, all through the summer and autumn. For her, brilliant colors are out of the question. She has known so much of sorrow and anxiety since the outbreak of this terrible war that she has no inclination to appear in bright-hued gowns. But the lovely American and Spanish girls in our midst have other ideas. For them the great dressmakers and tailors in the Rue de la Paix and Place Vendome have designed costumes in butterfly tints, and for this fact we feel intensely grateful, for a linen suit in bright rose linen, or even in emerald green, is a cheery sight on a glorious summer day. How to Arrange Flowers. Flowers to be cut for use in vases must have long stems. Dahlias are very fine for vase use. Do not crowd into a vase flowers enough to supply half a dozen vases. When grouping cut flowers, remember that quality and not quantity is what should govern. Have stalks long enough to lift them well above the vase in which they are placed. Before cutting blossoms, study the general appearance of the plant from all sides. Let the plant itself tell you how its blossoms should be clustered. Short-stemmed flowers should be placed in low, flat bowls. They are especially attractive for table decora- Double-Faced Tailored Suits. Among the early fall shows are a considerable number of severely cut tailored suits made of double faced materials and colored harmoniously. One of the most attractive of these geen last week was of deep wine purple faced with puce. The skirt was cut with straight front and back panels and circular hips and the hem was uneven so that with every movement the light faceting of the under side was visible. The bottom of the skirt was blanket stitched with heavy purple floss and a very little of this stitching was used on the cont, which was cut snug round the shoulders, with but a rippled body. The collar was high and stood out well from the chin in front and was piped with seal. Chintz Table Mats. No one need be without table mats if they care to follow these directions, which even the children can carry out. The result is pretty and useful. The mats are braided from strips of bright colored chinz. It is torn into tion. Pansies and nasturtiums are in this class. Nasturtiums are particularly effective in bowls of old blue or delicate green china, or in glass bowls with the delicate green stems showing through the glass. These flowers may be used in thick clusters. Use with the blossoms a few of the leaves, but never combine other foliage with these flowers. Peonies are beautiful when placed in a wide-mouthed vase that permits them to arrange themselves naturally. Sweet peas should be cut with the longest possible stems, and no attempt made to arrange them before they are put into vases. Use only white, pink, pale yellow and lavender together. The deep colored do not harmonize well with the delicately colored. Drop a handful into a vase, give it a shake, and each flower will seem to settle into the place where it belongs. Blotter Always of Use. A blotter is one of the most useful things either to have for one's own use or to give to a friend. They make most handsome presents, but are expensive to buy. With very little trouble, however, most artistic ones can be made at home at very little cost. Two strong pieces of cardboard will be needed, each to measure 8 inches by 11 inches, and about half a yard of holland, cretone or linen. The material must be double the size of one piece of cardboard, allowing 2 or 3 inches over, both in length and width. To make: lay the pieces of cardboard down on the wrong side of the material as in small sketch, leaving 1 inch between the cardboards. Now nick the edges of the material all round; mangle them or brush over with paste and fasten them down to the cardboard that lies on the inside of the blotter. When this is quite secure and dry, take two pieces of paper the size of the cards, white or colored, and paste them over the cardboard so that none of the edges of the material show. The little pieces of material between the two boards form the backs; the ends of these must be cut to the height of the backs and neatly pasted down. Sew at the top of this back on the inside an end of the elastic, and secure the other end to the bottom of the back. Cut several sheets of white blotting paper a trifle smaller than the blotter and slip under the elastic; this holds them firm and a kind of book is made. Tricorne Style. Fascinating new tricorne in navy blue with pedal brim and soft silk crown, finished with a scarlet acorn. Friction Baths. A salt rub in the morning after a hot night is very invigorating. Use ordinary coarse salt, or the sea salt that is bought in boxes. Soak a handful in a small quantity of water. Then rub the skin briskly with it, body and limbs, until a glow results. After this some bathers like either a hot or cold sponge with fresh water, while others consider that the salt water has a tonic effect if left to dry in. Just plain dry friction, too, is excellent in stimulating the skin. A loofah, a mitten of linen crash, or one knitted of a hard cord material, are all good to use. This follows the ordinary daily sponge bath—or, to replace the bath, use the friction with water, dipping the mitten in cold water and rubbing briskly, drying each part before proceeding to another. On Your Parasol. Embroider your name on a narrow piece of silk ribbon and sew it on the strap or inside of your parasol. It provides an excellent and inconspicuous mark of ownership. inch-wide strips, braided carefully so that all raw edges are folded in and the braid rolled into round or oval mats, from a few inches in diameter to larger size. The braids are stitched into place on the under side as they are rolled. Study Your Good Points. There are two little rules which, when understood and learned, ought to form a basis for any woman who wants to look attractive. The first is bring out your good points and the second is conceal your bad ones. In other words, the art of dressing depends upon your remembering that you are an individual and determining exactly what kind of an individual you are. For a True Bias. To obtain a true bliss place the material that on the cutting table and with a ruler or a yardstick laid across one corner draw a line with chalk or colored pencil. Use this line for a guide in cutting. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1916 In Woman's Realm Coat Suits for Fall and Winter Show Little Changes in Style, Though Their Designers Have Been Successful in Turning Out Becoming and Beautiful Garments — Illustration Shows Some of the New Millinery Styles. A review of numbers of new cont suits for fall and winter reveals only minor changes in style and no radical new departures in trimmings and finish. But styles are reserved and elegant, lines are trim and becoming, and colors are beautiful, so the new fall suits are destined to satisfy even an exacting taste. Manufacturers say that women are growing more discriminating and that the demand is for good materials and exact workmanship as well as smart style. As to changes in styles, coats are longer than they have been and many 1 G T of them show a closer adjustment to the figure, above the waistline, than for several seasons. Collars are high, usually of the turnover variety. Skirts and coats remain full, and for trimming there is the choice of fur or fur-fabrics, braid, buttons, and machine stitching. Skirts have been made longer also and appear in both ankle and instep lengths. But it remains to be proved that women will make a fashion of this feature of the new models. The skirt cut to reach a little below the shoe top has so much to recommend it. For the street suit it is easy to walk in, clean, and smart looking.

The Model Submarine By GEORGE MUNSON (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman). The quiet man is often deceptive. Jim Hawtrey did not know that when he made love to Elliman's wife, Elliman was an inventor, and he had rented a cottage on a very lonely northern lake to conduct experiments with his model submarine. He had known Hawtrey long before, and invited him to pay them a visit, to cheer up his wife, Nancy Elliman was lonely. She had married her husband four years before, and when there are no children four years is the dangerous age of marriage. Hawtrey was one of those fellows who do not understand quiet men. He was the life and soul of his club, and he started a flirtation to while away the time. But what was play to him was tragedy to poor Nancy Her quiet, sober husband, always pottering about his boat, was a foll for the brilliant blackguard who planned to betray his home. Hawtrey soon enlisted Mrs. Elliman's sympathies against her husband, yet so subtly that at first she herself was unaware of the part she played. When Hawtrey brought down a deer Elliman was sent to skin it, and Hawtrey took Mrs. Elliman for a row, returning to find Elliman in a disgusting state, and his fingers bleeding from a bad cut of the knife. It was Hawtrey, again, who put a dead porcupine in Elliman's bed. And it was Hawtrey who feigned illness and sent him on a ten-mile tramp through the woods to a nonexistent doctor, while he made love to Mrs. Elliman during his absence. That was what awakened Elliman to the part he was playing. But then A "You Know You've Married a Clown, Nancy." Hawtrey was in every way Elliman's superior. He could swim and shoot better, and outpace him; and once he challenged Elliman' to a boxing match and bruised his lip and black-and one eye. Elliman was thinking. He found it difficult to detach his mind from his invention. But now and again the thought of Hawtrey would recur to him in an irritating way. The climax arrived that afternoon when he came quietly through the woods and overheard Hawtrey's declaration. "Why do you stay with that slow-catch, dear?" he was asking. "What's simpler than to throw him over and come away with me? He doesn't care for you. All that interests him is that boat of his." He put his arm about her, but she repulsed him quietly. "You know you've married a clown, Nancy," went on Hawtrey remorselessly. "Yes," she said gravely. "But still, he's my husband." That was all Elliman heard, for he came slowly up the path and they saw him. But Hawtrey called mockingly in welcome, and neither suspected that Elliman had heard. "I've got a surprise for you both," said Elliman the next morning. "What, a surprise?" inquired Hawtrey. "Really, Elliman, your inventiveness is astounding." "You are the life and soul of the place," said Nancy, mockingly. "I want you two," Elliman went on, "to come aboard my boat. She's finished, and I'll take you on a submarine cruise round the lake." "Not if I know it," answered Hawtrey. "None of your submarines for me." "Of course, if you are afraid," said Elliman. "What the devil are you talking about?" demanded Hawtrey angrily, with a glance at Nancy. "Well, if you think it's too risky you needn't come." "I'm not afraid of anything you can plan," sneered Hawtrey. "Shall we go, Mrs. Elliman?" "I'll go if you want me to," answered Nancy, not to her husband, but to Hawtrey. "I guess we may as well see the poor old duffer's invention," said Hawtrey, with a shout laugh. Elliman led the way along the plank aboard his craft. She was a big model—just large enough to contain the three of them. They were tightly wedgeed, however, and had hardly room to turn round. Elliman leaped aboard and pushed off. He started the electric engine. Then he reached up, pulled down the hatch, and bolted it. They could see nothing through the frosted pane, and the light was very dim. The clattering of the engine seemed to fill the whole boat. "Huh! Nice sort of trip!" sneered Hawtrey. "Won't we see more than this on the observation trip?" The peculiar look on Elliman's face startled him. The air was very stuffy, anyhow. "Put back," Hawtrey said angrily. "What sort of practical joke is this?" "Nancy," said Elliman. "do you love this man? Do you wish for a divorce, or am I your husband?" "What!" yelled Hawtrey, leaping up. "So you've been eavesdropping, have you, you cur? Take that hatch off instantly or I'll thrash you!" "If you wish to drown here, you may raise the hatch," responded Elliman. Hawtrey sank back with a curse. Elliman was undoubtedly the master of this situation. "Hawtrey, not as a brilliant as you," said Elliman. "If I were a red-blooded man like you I'd challenge you to a duel—not because I want to detain Mrs. Elliman against her will, but because it's my duty to protect her against blackguards like you. As it is, I'm going to offer you another sort of duel." He picked up three objects from beside him. "Two of these are oxygen masks," he said, "with a reservoir of oxygen inside. The third has no reservoir. The air in here will be exhausted within half an hour. Mrs. Elliman will wear one of these masks. You shall take your pick of the two others. They look exactly alike, only one is not charged. The one who picks the oxygen will win Mrs. Elliman." "What nonsense!" yelled Hawtrey, breathing heavily. "Let us out at once, confound you!" He raised his fist threateningly, but Elliman only looked at him quietly and held out the two masks. Nancy said not a word. Her eyes were on her husband's face. "Which do you choose?" asked Elliman. Hawtrey began to bluster. "Let me out!" he shouted. "I didn't come here to fool with a lunatic. Old man," he added, "I'm sorry for what I did. I'm sorry I've fooled you. It was only a joke between Mrs. Elliman and me. For God's sake let me out," he pleaded, clasping Elliman about the knees in his abjection. "I'll go straight away, I swear it. I—" Elliman unbolted the hatch. A flood of daylight streamed in. As Hawtrey leaped for the entrance he saw the plank still in position and the shore within ten feet. The vessel had never moved. That was what Nancy saw as she turned to gaze at her husband wonderingly. "Ha, ha!" laughed Hawtrey. "I guess you fooled us, slowcoach, didn't you? Mrs. Elliman—" But in the pointing of Nancy's finger there was something so imperious that Hawtrey hurried away. A minute or two later they saw him slink through the bushes, and out of their lives. And Nancy turned to her husband. "Forgive me—forgive me!" she murmured. ARE FACING THE INEVITABLE Churches Can't Fight Autos, But They Can Make Them of Service. To fight fire with fire is an admirable method where fire is concerned and other extinguishers fail. Why shouldn't the application of the system be serviceable in other fields? Like cures like, and there are poisons that neutralize one another, the Cleveland Plain Dealer observes. Now for the special applications. The churches, many of them, realize that the automobile is not an encourager of church going. The allurements of a ride through the town, or about the countryside, are hard to resist. The automobile is responsible for many empty seats. What can be done about it? In certain churches all they do is to lament the affliction. They can't legislate against it; they can't bar it from the streets. It has come to stay, no doubt, but they said the same thing of the bicycle. Anyway, the automobile is here, and it is very comfortable, and very exhilarating, and very alluring. How can these charms be met? A Philadelphia congregation thinks it can answer the question in a practical way. Instead of standing back and abusing the cars, it comes to the front each Sunday and marshals its automobiles and sends them out right and left with orders to gather up the parishioners and give them a free ride to church. It's a delicate attention and not to be lightly turned down. The congregation realizes it can't fight the automobile, and so it fraternizes with them. The plan is said to work well. The plan of giving motion picture shows under church auspices is said to work well, too. And the lesson would seem to be that it is well to meet the inevitable and make the best of it. To Remove Glass Stoppers It often happens that a glass stopper becomes obdurate and refuses to come out, yielding neither to persuasion nor force. Next time it occurs, try holding the neck of the bottle in hot water until the neck is thoroughly heated. Then drop a few drops of oil en it where it fits into the bottle; leave it stand for five minutes, and you will find that the stopper will come out easily. Credit to Farmers' Wives. The women of the farms are economically important. They feed the men who till the farms; and until men can go to work without breakfast and to bed without supper, the women who feed them must be given credit for their share in the growing crops.

SELLERI, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago). (Copyright, 1916, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 10 LESSON TEXT—Acts 21:17-40. GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shalt be a witness for him unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.—Acts 22:15. No study of the book of Acts is complete unless the teacher impresses upon his pupils the opportunities for living the Christian life in the normal environment of the home or school, at work or play. Deep interest attaches to every detail leading up to Paul's visit to Rome. Therefore let the teacher trace Paul's journey from Miltea to Jerusalem, which occupied about four weeks, and took place in the early part of the year A. D. 57. 1. The Arrival (vv 17-26). The Spirit revealed to the disciples and to prophets that if Paul went to this city he would be in great danger, and the Spirit was not forbidding but only teaching him for he knew Paul had a great work to do in Jerusalem, and that he only could do it. Everywhere Paul went he "searched for" (v. 7) disciples, with whom he harried and whom he enlightened in the way of truth. Arriving in Jerusalem, he appears to have made his home with Mnasson, outside of the crowded city, thus being less exposed to danger and finding a place of rest. At a public reception (v. 18) Paul reports of his work, and no doubt he laid his strongest emphasis on what God had wrought through him, among the churches of Asia. The leaders of the Jerusalem church received the gifts Paul brought from the Gentile churches, glorified God for what he had accomplished, but saw clearly that, to accomplish his statesmanlike purpose, something must be done to make clear that the false reports as to Paul's teaching were discredited (vv. 20-22). They therefore resorted to diplomacy (vv. 23-26). To the many thousands of Jews gathered on this festival occasion in the city, some of whom were zealous for the law, they declared first that Paul taught all the Jews which were among the Gentiles not to forsake Moses; second, that he had not taught them not to walk after the customs of Moses. The facts were Paul obeyed the Jewish ceremonial laws personally, as a matter of race, not as a condition of salvation. He taught that the Gentiles need not become Jews nor obey the Jewish ritual, and that the law was not necessary for salvation for either Jew or Gentile. He taught also that the promises on the Jews were to be fulfilled in both Jew and Gentile who by faith became a true child of Abraham and heir to the promise. This made Christianity a universal religion (See I Cor. 9:20, 21). II. The Arrest (vv. 27-36). Paul's attempt at conciliation resulted not in peace but in more discord. Every true servant of God is sure to be misrepresented, and it will not do always to attempt to set straight all the lies that are told about him. God will take care of the lies and of our reputations. Most of the charges that men, even Christians, bring against one another are based upon "supposition" (v. 29). It was not a new experience for Paul to be mobbed. As the maddened Jews dragged him out of the temple he must have recalled the treatment of Stephen in which he, himself, had had a hand (7:57, 58). How frequent it is that we, ourselves, are in due time treated in the same way in which we have treated others (Gal. 6:7). It was the intention of the Jews to kill Paul at once with a trial (26:9:10). They fancied they were doing God's service (John 16:2). This lesson is a striking example of the utter folly and wickedness of mob law. Paul's time had not yet come, and all the mobs on earth could not kill him until God permitted it; his deliverance came by the hands of an unscrupulous heathen (23:27). 1. The Araignment (vv. 37-40). Tidings of the riot came to the chief captain, equivalent to our colonel (Acts 23:26). Paul was bound with two chains, one from each of his arms to a soldier, secured, yet left free to walk with his guards, thus fulfilling the prophecy of Agabus (v. 21). Mobs usually have great respect for soldiers, for they are inwardly cowardly. No sooner was Paul on the stairs which led to the top of the fortress than the mob, afraid that they were about to be balked of their vengeance, made a mad rush at him, with cries of "Kill him; kill him!" and Paul, unable in his fettered condition to steady himself, was carried off his feet and hurried off in the same path his Master had trod (John 19:15) and he was again to hear that cry (Ch. 22:22). During all this tumult Paul had but one thought, how he might witness for his Master, and bring some of his blinded accusers, to a saving knowledge of Christ. Thus it was: that he asked for the privilege of speaking, and most courteously did he make his request. He spoke to the captain in the Greek tongue, not in Hebrew, and great was the surprise of the captain. The surprise probably was caused by the fact that he thought he had an ignorant brigand, and not that he had a cultured, scholarly Hebrew and Roman citizen as a prisoner. A short time before this, a certain Egyptian had gathered a large body of discontented Jews on Mount Olivet, whom he had deluded into the belief that he was the Messiah, and to whom he had declared that at his word the walls of Jerusalem would fall down. Paul told the captain who he was, and asked permission to speak to these rioters, hoping to quiet them with the simple facts of his life, and his petition was granted.

OWADAYS a poetic genius doesn't look like one. On the street, you might guess him to be a business man or a lawyer or a preacher or a photographer. Not since the time of Edgar Allan Poe have real poets worn their hair long—as in the comic pictures—or affected the soulful expression. Nowadays when a man wears his hair like Spanish moss on a FloNda oak he is suspected of being hard up.

Bliss Carman, former editor of the Independent and a poet of note, was one of James Whitcomb Riley's closest friends. After the Indiana songster's death on July 23, Carman told much about Riley to Mr. Joyce Kilmer of the New York Times Magazine and Mr. Kilmer in turn told it to the public. Some 30 years ago Carman was introduced to the already famous Hoosier. Riley's keen bird-like eyes surveyed the tall frame of the new and young acquaintance: "Gosh, you're a stalwart, ain't ye?" he remarked, grinning. "I guess your parents must have trained you on a trellis." Then, as reported by Mr. Kilmer, Carman went on to say: "The next time I saw Riley was in Philadelphia. I went to read before the Browning society, and I don't mind telling you that I was scared to death. When I got out all alone on the stage and saw a thousand people staring up at me I felt more like running away than doing anything else. But when I saw Riley down in the audience, looking at me in his quaint, friendly way, then I felt all right. I wasn't afraid to read my poetry to Riley. "After the reading was over Riley tucked me under his arm and said: 'Now, let's get around to the hotel and we'll take off our shoes and get a chew of tobacco and be comfortable.'" "You know, such remarks as this were all the more piquant because Riley was so very punctilous and scrupulous in all his personal habits. He always was immaculately dressed. I never knew him even to make so much of a concession to comfort as to put on a smoking jacket or a lounge coat. But he liked to go to his room and stretch himself on his bed and talk. And he never talked about anything but literature, chiefly poetry. Bliss Carman, former editor of the Independent and a poet of note, was one of James Whitcomb Riley's closest friends.

I suppose, by some of his habitual gestures and expressions.' I remember Riley as very deliberate in his motions, especially in his last years.

"James Whitcomb Riley," says he, "was the companion of fairies in Arcady; for the Hoosier belongs to a race apart. And while some are captured and broken to trade, the gentle poef escaped and kept always the vision of hidden things." With these prefatory remarks the writer goes on with his essay: "There are two sorts of Indianan—the ordinary Indianan, who is not so very different from the Ohioan or the Illnolsan, and the Hoosier. "The Hoosier belong not merely to a race apart, but to a separate species. He is human, but with a difference; he is aware of the kinship between humanity and the so-called lower animals (and even the plants and streams) on the one side, and on the other side of the kinship of humanity with the elves. "When the moon turns the mists to silver and the owls wail and the frogs wake up along the creeks and lakes and the fairies saddle and bridle the fireflies and mount them and go whirring and flashing off in search of alry adventures the Hoosiers steal out of the farmhouses and hamlets and creep down to the bottom lands and dance and sing and cavort under the summer stars. They do so secretly, dodging the mere humans, for secrecy is the essence of their midnight, whimsical revels. "In the daytime they pretend they are just ordinary Indianans; their own brothers and mothers may not realize that they are Hoosiers. "But in Indiana, as elsewhere, there is business and the need to attend to it. There must have been even in Arcady—somebody owned the flocks and herds of Arcady and turned them into butcher's meat and leather, and the shepherds only piped on the sufferance of their commercial- "The Hoosier belong not merely to a race apart, but to a separate species.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1916 THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1916 minded masters. These Hoosters, these wild bards and prancing, long-legged lovers of the moon, are often captured and broken and tamed to trade and industry by the more sordid citizenry. They are yoked to the handle end of the plow, chained to the desk; by the hundreds and thousands they become clerks and salesmen and railroad presidents and novelists and business men of all sorts. "James Whitcomb Riley was a Hooster who happily escaped; he was never captured, never enslaved; the things hidden from the rest of us, or revealed only in flashes, remembered but vaguely from the days of our own happy Hooster-dom, he continued to see steadily; he lived among them familiarly to the end, and until the end was their interpreter to us.

"Bud come here to your uncle a spell,' says Riley in effect, 'and I show you not only a fairy, but a fairy who has for the moment chosen to be just as much of a Hoosier as the Raggedy Man, or Orphant Annie, or Old Kingry, or the folks at Griggsby Station." "The critics and the learned doctors of literature are already debating as to whether Riley had imagination or only fancy. (It would be a terrible calamity to some of them if they said it was imagination and it was officially declared later to be merely fancy; that is the sort of mistake that damns a critic and makes the sons and grandons of critics meek, hacked, apologetic young men.) And doubtless the point is exceedingly important. For if a poet has imagination they say his work is significant. And if he has only fancy his work is not significant.

And doubtless the point is exceedingly important. For if a poet has imagination they say his work is significant. And if he has only fancy his work is not significant. "The chief merit of Riley's dialect verse—which is the most popular part of his production and the part with which the critics chiefly concern themselves—is its effectiveness as a medium for character portrayal. Whimsical, lovable, homely, racy, quaint, salty, pathetic, humorous, tender are his dialect poems; essentially, he has shown us life as a superior writer of prose sketches might do, adding the charm of his lyricism. "But, personally, we never like him so well as when he is writing sheer moonlight and music. Probably no poet who ever wrote English—certainly no American poet—got more luscious language than Riley. A sweetness that is not so sugary that it cloaks, having always a winy tango. For instance, from 'The Flying Islands of the Night.' '... in lost hours of lute and song. When he was but a prince—I but a mouth For him to lift up sippingly and drain To his most ultimate of stammering sobs And maudlin wanderings of blind breath. . . .' "There is no better evidence of the genuineness of Riley's sentiment, particularly in the dialect poems, than the discretion with which he touches the pathetic chord when he touches it at all. One of the most popular poems he ever wrote was 'Old-Fashioned Roses,' and one word too much, one pressure the least bit too insistent would have made the thing as offensive as a vaudeville ballad. The taste which told him to be simple and the sincerity which begat the taste save the verses from the reproach. "His verses for children and about children could only have been written by a man whose love and understanding of children was real, for children are quick to detect and repudiate anything of the sort that is 'pumped up' for effect, and they contributed enormously to the general feeling of affection for him. The regard of the children was in a way a testimonial to his persisting youthfulness of spirit; he was still their playmate; perhaps it is an earnest of immortality, if immortality can be. Certainly love endures longer than anything else, and this man with the childlike sweetness in his soul goes from us loved as few men have been."

The 25,000 inhabitants which were credited to Dawson City, Alaska, during the height of the 1898 gold rush, have now dwindled to a mere 2,000. Shoes with quickly removable soles and heels have been invented in France for railroad men, so that they can escape should their feet be caught in tracks. ROMANCE SEEN FROM SADDLE Romance likes to come on horseback; the jingling spurs and bridle irons chant a happy pean in his ears, and from the saddle, as from the throne, he looks out over the workday world, says a writer in Scribner's Magazine. Romance always has been linked with riding; in the playroom mounted on a gallant rocking chair youth rides into a land of golden deeds; later he swings in long gallops on the faithful hobbyhorse into spicy and fugitive adventure. To the page on a prancing palefrey and to the cavalryman in khaki the lure of romance is the same; the rhythm of galloping hoofs thuds always in the imagination, the lady's favor on the lance and the quivering scarlet gulden flutter alike a mysterious and eternal challenge to the spirit of youth. "To horse and away," and all the world's before one. Stevenson always wanted to write a story about a man galloping up to an inn at night, and the very suggestion brings a tingle to the imagination: By on the highway low and loud By at the gallon goes he. He heard him in the sleepless midnights of his childhood; and, indeed, the sound of thudding hoofs always makes the heart beat faster. The so-cable clattering of a single footer on asphalt, the crackling of twigs and leaves on the quiet autumn trails, the muffled rhythm of a canter on the turf, its resonance on a bridge—all these make music in the ears and bring the very smell of adventure. To him who rides there is always "something lost behind the ranges"—and his heart yearns for it. King Coal and Peat. Southern gas and power producers are watching experiments being conducted in Sweden to determine the value of the use of peat powder as fuel for locomotives. A committee which has conducted several practical tests reports that the value of peat powder as fuel is one-third greater than the fuel value of coal. The cost of peat powder is estimated at $4.02 a ton compared with the price of coal $6.03 per ton. The committee has asked in appropriation from the Swedish government of $250,000 to be used to erect a peat powder factory, acquire peat bogs, and convert the locomotives of one railway line into peat powder burners. There is an immense quantity of peat in the bogs of the South, especially in Virginia and Florida. Some firms have been mining the peat and using it under boilers as fuel with satisfactory results and at a cost far below that of other fuel. It is also pointed out that the raw peat, cheaply prepared, might be used in gas producers. The process to be used in extracting the gas would be very similar to the process used in the extraction gas from coal. It is though feasible to place gas works in the peat districts and pipe the gas produced, without loss, for about 25 or 30 miles to gas engines where the power could be converted into electricity for traction purposes.—Wall Street Journal. Rewarding Italian Soldiers A salary scheme is being worked out in Italy, which promises to have good results. Salaries will be paid by employers to their employees, who are on active service the continuation of which will be regulated according to the number of years of previous service. The first clause provides for the reinstatement in their former positions of all employees having served for at least one year with the firm for which they were working at the entrance of Italy into the war. The clauses relating to salaries during the war are as follows: All workingmen with the colors who have been with a firm for at least five years are entitled to a third of their usual salaries during the continuation of the war. This applies to married men with families. In all other cases the employers shall pay the men at the rate of a quarter of their former salaries. Men with ten years' service to their credit will receive, if married, with families, one-half of their salaries, and if not married a third. The decree only applies to firms employing at least three workmen. Oxygenator Is Popular We did not have the locomotive, the aeroplane, the submarine, the dreadnaught, electric lights, telegraph or telephone, wireless or automobile. These are all recent inventions. Twenty years ago when the automobile came out, we did not have electric lights, top wind shield, demountable rims, electric starters, multiple cylinder, perfected springs and a hundred and one other inventions which make it what it is today. It was nothing more than four wheels and a single cylinder engine, and a box for a body. Compare, if you will, the highly perfected automobile of today. Those of the better class adopt necessities, but only after the public demands it. The public has shown that its wants the oxygenator on its cars, and it is only by public demand that it will be furnished by the manufacturers. Unfair. "Sometimes I think Henrietta is a little unreasonable," said Mr. Meekton. "Henrietta wears her skirts as short as she likes and I never say a word." "But you silently disapprove?" "No. All I object to is her calling me down this morning because my new summer trousers are too lofty around the ankles." Cats Fond of Needles Cats seem to have a habit of swallowing needles. When a cat is brought to a veterinary hospital suffering with a cough, the doctor always looks for a needle. In one instance Doctor Childs of New York operated on a cat to remove what he thought was an ordinary needle. He found a hatpin nine inches long. But the cat's life was saved. Optimistic Thought. No omen can be bad to those whose designs are good. Lemberg and Brody WHEN the fortifications of the inner city of Lemberg were dismantled in 1811 and the space which they occupied was converted into promenades for the prosperous citizens of this modern Galician capital of 200,000 inhabitants, it was doubtless assumed by many that, having suffered "the sling and arrows of outrageous fortune" for the five centuries of its municipal existence, fate would allot it a surcause from siege and capture, says the bulletin of the National Geographic society. laborers born an elephant carried in an ervation, evde, probabities of the buried. Brody Only abe Russian boy, Brody is a portance of cause it co-line lending the north Lying 60 miles almost due east of Przemysl, and more than 450 miles northeast of Vienna, Lemberg is situated on the banks of the Peltew river, an affluent of the Bug. It nests in a small valley which opens to the north, and is surrounded by hills, the most picturesque being the well-wooded Franz-Josef Berg to the northeast. To the east, a distance of 7 miles, is Tarnopol, near the Russian border, one of the first points of attack when the Muscovites pushed beyond the Galician frontier. A description of the modern city of Lemberg as it existed in August, 1914, requires many modifications today, for the scars of war are to be found in its many handsome homes; its broad, well-paved streets; its Roman Catholic cathedral, a handsome gothic structure completed in 1480; its Greek cathedral, completed in 1779; its Armenian cathedral in the Byzantine style, dating back to 1437, and its magnificent monuments to such Polish patriots as King John III Sobieski who, after having saved Lemberg from the Turks a few years previously, in 1683 saved all Europe from Mohammedan invasion by routing an army of 360,000 Turks encamped about Vienna, his own force numbering only 70,000. Nearly 700 Years Old. Called Lwow in the Polish tongue and Leopolis in Latin, Lemberg was founded by a Ruthenian prince in 1250. Nearly a hundred years later it was added to the domain of Casimir the Great, who bestowed upon the city the charter and privileges widely known during the middle ages as the Magdeburg Right. Following the fall of Constantinople, Lemberg enjoyed a revival of trade with the East, but it was caught in the mastelstrom of rebellion and pillage which swept over the Ukraine and a part of Poland during the last half of the seventeenth century, when the Cossack hetman, Chiemlnicka, was directing the infamies of the "sersf" fury." Lemberg was one of the Polish cities to fall before the arms of Charles XII of Sweden when the ill-advised Augustus II was drawn into the Great Northern war, which devastated central Europe for the first 20 years of the eighteenth century. In 1772, upon the first partition of Poland, Lemberg became an Austrian possession, and 12 years after this event Joseph II established the University of Lemberg which, at the time of the outbreak of the present war, had more than 2,000 students. One of the most attractive parks of Lemberg, and a favorite promenade, bears the name of the Polish patriot, Jan Killinski, a humble little shoe-maker, who fought bravely in 1796, was captured and taken to St. Petersburg. After his release he returned to his shoe-maker's bench and in his leisure hours wrote his recollections, a valuable record of this period of his country's history. Since the establishment of the Galician diet in 1861 Lemberg has enjoyed increasing prosperity. Its manufactures include machinery and ironware, matches, candles, liqueurs, chocolate, leather, bricks and tiles, while its commerce is largely ininen, flax, hemp, wool and oil. In 1907 two interesting finds were made in the vicinity of this city by USE ARABS TO FIGHT LOCUSTS Soldiers Dig Trenches Into Which Hatching Pests Were Driven and Destroyed. Djemal Pasha put some thousands of Arab soldiers at my brother's disposition, and these were set to work digging trenches into which the hatching locusts were driven and destroyed. This is the only means of coping with the situation; once the locusts get their wings, nothing can be done with them. It was a hopeless fight. Nothing short of the co-operation of every farmer in the country could have won the day; and while the people of the progressive Jewish villages struggled on to the end—men, women and children working in the fields until they were exhausted—the Arab farmers sat by with folded hands. The threats of the military authorities only stirred them to half-hearted efforts. Finally, after two months of toil, the campaign was given up and the locusts broke in waves over the countryside, destroying everything. As the Prophet Joel said: "The land is as the Garden of Eden laborers boring for oil. The bodies of an elephant and a rhinoceros were unearthed in a remarkable state of preservation, even the hides being intact, due, probably, to the preservative qualities of the olly soil in which they were buried. Brody a Commercial Center. Only about two miles beyond the Russian border, the Galician town of Brody is a point of great strategic importance on the eastern war front because it controls an important railway line leading from Dubno, 35 miles to the northeast, to Lemberg, which is only 62 miles to the southwest. At the beginning of the world war Brody was a thriving commercial center with a population approaching 20,000, more than two-thirds of whom were Jews. Its prosperity was checked to some extent about 40 years ago, when, after having enjoyed the privileges of a free commercial city for exactly 100 years, its charter was withdrawn. Less than half a century before Brody was created a town in the seventeenth century it was the scene of an important battle in which the Poles, commanded by their famous grand bettman, Stanislas Ponieckpolski, defeated a Tartar army. This was the last battle of Ponieckpolski's distinguished career. For a quarter of a century he was at war with Turks and Swedes, his initiation in military science being somewhat disastrous, for he was captured by the Turks in his first important engagement and was held in close confinement for three years at Constantinople. Upon his release in 1662 he was placed in command of the Polish republic's forces and with a force of 25,000 defeated 60,000 Tartars at Martynow. His achievements against the army of Gustavus Adolphus were no less noteworthy than his long series of victories whereby he succeeded in keeping the Ukraine under Polish rule. Brody twice suffered from disastrous conflagrations during the nineteenth century. The first, occurring in 1801, destroyed 1,500 houses, while the fire of 1859 reduced 1,000 homes and business establishments to ashes. The upper waters of the Styr river form an irregular arc extending from the southwest to the north of Brody, being ten miles distant at its nearest point, toward the northwest. Five miles from the city, just beyond the border on the Dubno-Lemberg railway, is the Russian town of Radziwilow, with a population of about 8,000. The log line is one of the older devices for measuring the velocity of a ship. The log is flat is made so that it will float perpendicularly. To this a line is fastened, called the log line. The approximate speed of the ship can be determined by letting the line run off for, say, half a minute. The length of the line run off in that time gives a basis for calculating the speed per hour. The log, during the experiment, remains stationary on the surface of the water, of course. This is the older method. A modern method involves the use of a log with a revolving mechanism which is dragged along in the water behind the vessel. A popular sportsman, being vastly conceived about his fine figure, wore corsets to show it off. One day he was thrown from his horse and lay prone on the road. A farm laborer ran to render him assistance. The first-ald man began to feel the fallen one all over to see if any bones happened to be broken, and suddenly yelled out to another laborer: "Run, Jack, for heaven's sake, for a doctor. Here's a man's ribs runneth north and south, instead o' east and west." before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness. The field is wasted; the land mourneth, for the corn is wasted; the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth." Not only was every green leaf devoured, but the very bark was peeled from the trees, which stood out white and lifeless, like skeletons. The fields were striped to the ground, and the old men of our villages, who had given their lives to cultivating the gardens and vineyards, came out of the synagogues where they had been praying and wailing and looked on the ruln with dimmed eyes. Nothing was spared. The insects, in their fierce hunger, tried to engulf everything in their way.—Alexander Aaronsohn, in Atlantic. Low Temperature. The lowest known temperature ever observed by competent scientists was at Werchojausk, Siberia, Jan. 15, 1885, when a minimum reading of minus 93.4 degrees Fahrenheit was registered. The monthly mean temperature for January at Jahutz, Siberia, minus 48.8 degrees. The Log Line. A. Horrible Accident. Low Temperature. M. B. MR. A. T.

To Eddie James of the Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 5 of Phoenix, Ariz. The Boy Scouts of America and especially Troop No. 5 of Phoenix, realize a great loss in the life of Scout Eddie James, one who has paved the way for such an organization in our community today. Scout James was a member of Troop No. 67 of Kansas City, Mn., where he was highly esteemed by his brother Scouts. Upon his arrival in Phoenix he soon found an acquaintance with the Scout Commissioner of Arizona and it after much work succeeded in organizing Troop No. 5 of Phoenix, which has started an incentive among his little friends. Though he has departed the fruits of his efforts still remain and we as members of Troop No. 5 through these resolutions extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family. Whereas, it has pleased the Supreme Scout Master of the Universe to pluck from the garden of the Boy Scouts of America one of its choicest flowers to be transplanted by the hands of death in the beautiful garden of heaven where the fragrant odors of friendship, loyalty and reverence might be wafted on the breeze to those dwell in his celestial kingdom and Whereas, it is nature for us to regret and mourn the loss of those with AN APPRECIATION THE KANSAS CITY SUN.

Let us be patient then Severe afflictions not from the ground arise But of times celestial benedictions Assume this dark disguise. In that great cloister's stillness and seclusion By guardian angels led safe from temptation Safe from sin and pollution He lives whom we call dead. —Gee, P. White, Scout Master of Troop No. 5, Phoenix, Ariz.

Notes With the building almost full of regular ienants, it has been necessary to improvise space for the visiting delegates to the National Baptist Convention. The following is a clipping from the St. Louis Argus, August 2nd, 1916. St. Louis Argus, August 2nd, 1916: Several St. Louisans attended the Business League in Kansas City and all of them are high in praise of the splendid service which the Faseo department Y. M. C. A. of Kansas City rendered to the visitors who were there. "Mr. W. C. Gordon speaking of the Y. M. C. A., said: 'We could not have been better cared for. Those of us who stayed in the Y. M. C. A. as I did, saw clearly the reason why every city should have a center like this. Those of us, of St. Louis especially, could see what a help a Y. M. C. A. would be to St. Louis.' "Mr. A. E. Malone expressed about the same sentiment when he said: I have visited every modern Association for Colored men in the country, and I know the place that these Associations fill in the community. My party and I used the Paseo Department during our stay in Kansas City, and we were immensely pleased with the treatment we received. I believe the men of St. Louis who were in Kansas City, determined as never before to work for the new building in St. Louis.'" Mr. Mitchell, editor of the Argus, had this to say: "The Paseo Department was a concrete example of what a Y. M. C. A. can be to a city. I am sure we will never forget the struggle we are making for our new building, and we will win out as the men in Kansas City did." The above named gentlemen are members of the oBard of Managers of our local branch, and they are united in saying that the Paseo is the center of the social life of Greater Kansas City. Mr. Malone subscribed $5,000 to the St. Louis building fund. : THE DISCRIMINATING TRADE : ANOTHER BARBER WANTED at the Paseo Y. M. C. A.
