The Most Refined and Cultured Dancing Witnessed in Years. A fitting climax to the holiday festivities was the fourth annual party of the Cosmopolitan club given at Lyric hall Tuesday evening, January 9. The hall was a bower of beauty and fragrance, the decorations in artistic arrangement surpassing anything ever before seen in Kansas City. It has been generally thought that white decorators have been employed by the Cosmopolitan club, but this club is very fortunate in having skilled workmen among its own numbers. They have always done their own designing and decorating, including the beautiful electrical effects. The club has ever excelled in producing most unusual and artistic effects. The club has ever excelled in producing most unusual and artistic effects, but at this party they outdid themselves. Cedar, holly, poinsettias and beauty roses were the prevailing decorations. "A Man in the Moon" lighted by electricity was used to smile upon the dancers who swayed to the dreamy moonlight waltz which was played during intermission. Electric lighted beauty roses assisted the Moon to furnish illumination at this time. A large orchestra furnished entrancing music for the dances. The costumes worn by the ladies were distinguished by unusual beauty and elegance. Every gentleman present wore full dress. Several prominent white friends of the club were present and were delighted with the exquisite costumes of the ladies and also the graceful dancing of the guests. A marked absence of freakish and immodest dancing was noted by the visitors. The members of the Cosmopolitan club are young men who are ambitious to set a standard for culture and refinement which other clubs may well imitate. Perfect hosts, they tied with each other in contributing to the happiness of all present. The party in every detail was correct and will long be remembered by the fortunate guests as one of unalloyed pleasure. EUGENE MUNDY. President, HENRY HOKE, Secretary, WOODIE HOLMES, Treasurer. DISTRIBUTION OF RACE BANK LARGE. $10,000 Distributed During Holidays By the Mutual Savings Bank. Portsmouth, Va., Jan. 4.—Christmas checks to the amount of $10,000 were distributed this week by the Mutual Savings Bank for Colored people. There were 1,200 members of the bank's savings department who received checks under the Christmas fund arrangement. HYPOCRITICAL STAR A great deal of comment has been aroused concerning the Star's vitiline and vicious attack on Leon H. Jordan and the Autumn Leaf Club during the past two weeks and many people have asked the question—what is behind it? While it is a well known fact that the Star poses as a synonym of virtue and a self appointed keeper of the public morals of this city and state, yet it is well known among the thinking colored people of this city that the most implacable and vicious enemy the Negro has in this city is this self same Star. While the Sun does not attempt to defend Mr. Leon H. Jordan in any violation of the city ordinances, if he is guilty of any, or the Autumn Leaf Club, yet it believes in fair play and that the Star can use a little of its valuable space and eloquence in helping save some of the aristocratic white boys and girls that are being decrimined in the city and conducted by their own city and city and furnishing such large patronage to the Maternity institutes scattered throughout the city. The Sun has no hesitation in saying that the most cleanly kept and most orderly saloon for Negroes in this city is the Autumn Leaf Inn at Eighteenth and Vine streets, while some of the most vicious and notorious dives that ever infested the city are run by WHITE MEN for the debauchery and degradation of the贪婪, or the Autumn Leaf Club, who know nothing but if it is violating the law, it should be made to comply with the law. Leon H. Jordan is honest, upright, and courageous and will resent an insult from any man, be he white or black. In politics, he affiliates with the Democratic party which he has a right to do, and was assistant registrar of deeds under Grover Cleveland. In the Spanish-American War, was a lieutenant of the Seventh immunes under the late Captain John A. Dunean, saw service in the Mines in the Forty-ninth U.S. Infantry and he the late Officer of L.A. Tillman were captains, and is always ready to defend his country, his race or his home. The Star is an old grandmother that has developed a chronic habit of snapping and snarling at everybody and everything since its contemporary, the Post, has been making such deep inroads on its heretofore monopolized business, and the Sun has no hesitancy in saying that the police commissioner or public official that will be dictated to by the Star IS A FOOL. It attacked James A. Reed (for whom The Sun has no regard) and for its vicious slander was compelled to pay him $30,000; it attacked Judge Miles Bulger, presiding judge of the county court, who threw the man in the canna and kicked them out of the house, they attacked Governor Major when they could no longer use him or his police commissioners, and now they are insidiously attacking Kansas City's brilliant Mayor Geo. H. Edwards because he will not submit to their dictations relative to a "City Manager." They have never supported a public official except to use or betray him, and the Sun advises its race in scriptural language to "beware of Greeks bearing gifts." We shall see what we shall see.

Students of phophecy are eagerly watching events in Europe and the far East. Mr. Carnegie gives his millions for a Temple of Arbitration at the Hague, and for the spreading of the gospel of nation-wide peace, but if we read the Bible alright, we will see that there will never be "peace" among the nations of earth until the "Peace-Maker" comes; there can be no heavenly kingdom on earth without a king This age shall go down in sorrow and shame as have all previous dispositions. History is simply repeating itself. Where is the learning, culture, boasted civilization of the world before the flood? Where is the old Babylonion civilization, the richest the world ever knew before this age in which we live? Where is the cultured Greek civilization, and the Roman Empire of iron? What evidence have we that this sinful age shall not follow in the footprints of those now past? Certainly not the Bible. There is a false optimism that is most dangerous—that which closes the eye and common sense to existing conditions, and "fiddles while Rome is burning." However, for the truest evidence, we must seek the Word of God. Financial Signs—James 5:14, gives us the financial signs that are upon us in these "latter days." He gives us a picture of the rich men with their accumulated wealth, "heaping treasures together for the last days." Also, he gives us a vivid picture of the laborer "whose hire is kept back by fraud, and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of saboath." i. e., fight between capital and labor. Certainly, we will all agree that today Mammon is on the throne, and the love of God is on the cross. "In the last days men shall be lovers of money." 2 Tim. 3:2. Fifty years ago it was an uncommon thing to see a millionaire; today a man is not considered so very wealthy unless he is a multi-millionaire. The money is in the hands of the few. Seventy-ninth of the wealth of this country a few years ago was in the hands of only five families. Europe today is 45 per cent poorer than she was twenty-five years ago—the becoming richer, and the poor richer. If Adam had saved $100,000 per year from his day until now, he would not be worth what John D. Rockefeller is reported to be worth. Physical Signs—James 5:4-8 gives us certain physical signs that are upon us relative to the end of this age, and the coming of the Lord. He is telling the Jewish farmer to be patient until he "receive the early and latter rain." If you will read Jer. 3:3, you will see that the "latter rain" had been withheld on account of Israel's sinfulness. This has been true for nearly 1900 years, for no "latter rain" has fallen in Palestine. Two rainy seasons are required to make a crop in Palestine. For all these years that country has been desolate and void of vegetation. However, within the past few years the "latter rain" has returned, and God is fulfilling Ezek. 36:34-35. Jerusalem is being rebuilt and the Jews are returning under the Zionistic movement from all parts of the earth.—Isa. 1:1-10. In the prophecy of Daniel concerning the latter day, he tells us (Dan. 12:4), that "Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." One hundred years ago, the steam engine was unknown; seventy-five years ago there was no telegraph; and fifty years ago a telephone was unheard of, tosay nothing of the later inventions for travel, knowledge, etc. In 1896 there was in the United States, railroad mileage to the extent of 13, 654,840,243 miles. In the same year there passed over these roads 535,120, 756 passengers. The railroad mileage for this same year over the world was 28,677,000,000, with passengers amounting to 2,384,000,100. In other words, twice the population of the earth could go on an excursion to the sun and back again nearly fifty times in one year. Our educational statistics show as follows: 1901.02, enrollment of scholars, 17,460,000, increase of 160,770 over previous lear. In 1890 we had 2,526 high school buildings. Ten years thereafter we had 6,005, an increase of 3,479. In 1901 we had 119,468 students in our universities and colleges, an increase of 4,225 over previous year.

Rickett, the West loses one of its most conspicious and persistent race advocates. Even from a boy he possessed a brilliant personality and congenial nature which he carried with him later as a teacher and afterwards into high social and political honors. Life to him, while at most times yielding its mead of joy, was in the main a struggle against forces which his very nature and disposition often augmented but under which he never bent nor bowed. At his hear he might have so elazed himself in fact that he, having tasted every joy as every sorrow which life affords, could no longer lay claim to an abode in this sphere of existence. Dr. Rickett was a scholar and as such was recognized in every section of the country. He was a man of intellect and in his attachments as well as strong in his likes and dislikes. Being of a decidedly positive nature he naturally made many warm friends and a number of enemies. Such is the fortune of all men who are prone to assume the initiative in things and to take advanced ground in the propagation of ideals. As a Masonic jurist and devotee Missouri, especially, has never furnished his peer, his strength lying particularly in his loyalty to the work of the order and his insistence upon the act interpretation of all obsession affecting his dence and ancient usages. To the fraternity his death will come as a distinct blow and is indeed a great misfortune. Death has closed the volume of his life—a volume rich in its lessons—and we sorrowfully yield to its passing, cherishing memories of days that were made brighter by the jovial spirit of our brother, recollection for the happier abode of his spirit now free from all earthly duress. HERRIFORD. DR. WM. J. THOMPKINS ENDORSED The Missouri Legislature Signally Honors One of Kansas City's Prominent Negro Physicians With a Tribute Never Before Given Any Other Member of the Race in This State. The following resolution adopted by the legislature of this state on last Tuesday amply demonstrates that the Democratic party in Missouri at least is not opposed to the advancement of capable worthy and well equipped Negroes. It is as follows: "Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Missouri, that it endorse and approve the application addressed to the President of the United States requesting the appointment of Dr. Wm. J. Thompkins, of Kansas City, Missouri, as surgeon-in-chief for the Freedmen's Hospital at Washington, D. C." Stop that bad cold. Smith's Vim and Vigor Cold Tablets will do it.

Williams was born near Spencensburg, Pike County, Mo., February 9, 1845, died in Booneville, Mo., January 13, 1917, at 6:10 a.m., at the age of 71 years, 11 months and 4 days. Had she lived until February 9, she would have been 72 years old. She was married to Thomas Williams, March 9, 1861, and lived happy in this union 55 years, 10 months and 4 days. To this union was born one son, C. G. Williams. She leaves a husband, son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, Estelle, who was married December 26, 1916, to B. K. Bruce, of Chicago. Her son, Charles, brought her to Boonville, December 3, 1916, attend this wedding, but on the eve of the wedding her condition became serious and she was not able to witness the ceremony, but grew gradually weaker. She also leaves three nephews: Tom Peak, Grant Peak and Walter Sutton, and a sister-in-law, M.rs. Francis Howard, all of Frankford, Mo. She united with the white Methodist Church at Spencensburg, under Rev. Jesse Sutton, in 1858. She continued her membership in this church until she went into the organization of the A. M. E. Church, Frankford, Mo., by the Rev. Madison Corbin. She was an active and energetic worker in the Master's cause until the close of her life. It was her practice to keep every obligation of her church and to meet every financial requirement as laid down in its discipline. Mrs. Mat Williams is the only surviving member of the above organization. She was a charter member of Hope court No. 82, Frankford, Mo., and was its treasurer from that time until two years ago when falling health caused her to resign the office. She was a great help to the community, always ready to respond to a call of distress, no matter by whom nor when made. Her was a life of service. In fact, christianity meant service to her. Her reputation for good deeds was not limited to the community in which she lived, but everywhere she was known, it was said of her "Her religion knew no race, her sympathy no bounds." Her was truly a life worthy of emulation. "Weep not for her! Her memory is the shrine. Of pleasing thoughts soft as the scent of flowers, Calm as on windless eve the sun's decline. Sweet as the song of birds among the bowers. Rich as a rainbow with its hues of light, Pure as the moonshine of an autumn night; Weep not for her! Weep not for her! There is no cause for woe; But rather nerve the spirit that it walk Unshrinking o'er the thorny paths below And from earth's low defilements keep thee back So when a few fleet severing years have flown. She'll meet thee at Heaven's gate and lead thee on; Weep not for her! Before leaving for Frankford for the funeral and interment, a short service consisting of prayer, scripture reading and singing was held at the house conducted by Rev. J. H. Allen, of the A. M. E. Church and Rev. H. W. Botts of the Baptist church. The funeral was preached at Frankford by Rev. B. C. Anderson. Hope Court No. $2 carried out their ceremony as prescribed. The large number of people present, both white and colored, and the many beautiful floral offerings attested the esteem in which the deceased was held. Those who attended the funeral from a distance were: Miss Sadie Braxton, Wm. Shelby, and H. R. Martin, undertaker of Boonville, Mo.; Mr. Fred Washington, Mr. and Mrs. B. K. Bruce, of Chicago; Prof. Chas. H. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Hawkins, of St. Louis; Mr. W. W. Fields, of Cameron, and Miss Beatrice Peak of Elsberry, Mo.

It is timely to give our sport lovers a brief review. In writing a review of the events which have taken place in the Kansas City and the vicinity, during the 1916 season, the writer knows it to be practically impossible to satisfy the minds of every one interested in the events. The object of this article is not to criticize, but merely to review the season for the benefit of the advocates and opponents of athletics and those who regard it dispassionately as a human activity, to see them contested under the existing rules of today. Under the leadership of Miss M. schools made quite an encouraging start in basketball. Last May, at Lincoln Park, a track and field meet was held. The competitors were pupils of the city grade schools. It was a credit and we are expecting something along that line this year. There were three basketball teams game: Lincoln High, coached by Square, coached by E. Scott and Westeams was as follows: Garrison Square, first place; Western University, second place and Lincoln High, third place. There is no available record of all the contests held among the various schools of the cities. As yet, they have not organized baseball, track and tennis teams, but we are hoping that either the schools or the authorities will catch the spirit in time and fall have already done. Kansas City Stands Out in Tennis. For the last few summers, St. Louis, Kansas City, Mo., St. Joseph, Lawrence and Kansas City, Kas, have held a tennis tournament. For the same number of years, Kansas City, Mo, has won the greatest number of those points. The ranking is as follows: Kansas City, Mo., 1st; St. Louis, 2nd; Kansas City, Kas., 3d; St. Joseph, 4th. Perhaps a good closing for this chap- Dr. McCampbell, G. A. Page, F. Payne, J. McKnight and Williams, who fought and defended Kansas City's championship title last season. Who the Champion is in Football. The clubs and school which meet in the gridiron game during a season are: Western University, Lincoln In- stitute, Liberty Athletic Club, Law- rence Athletic Club, Columbia, Boon- ville, Fulton and Western College. Taken altogether, the year for outdoor sports, exhibiting physical prowess, was a great one for the novice and tyros; Columbia A. C., winning her contest, except the forfeit game to the Chicago Athletic Clubs, gets the first ranking. Western University having lost one to the Columbia A. C., 6-0, ranks second, Lincoln Institute, lost to W. U., 28-10, third; Liberty, fourth; Lawrence, fifth; Boonville, sixth. As the year opened there was a forecast that it would be lacking in savor, but when you look back on a series of competitions of high quality and intense interest, culminating in championship events as thrilling and brilliant as any in memory, you are forced to concede that, the year 1916 was not without its glory. P. L. JACOBS FLORIDA KNITTING MILLS TO HELP BOYS AND GIRLS. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 8.—One of the most recent achievements of which the race may well be proud is the knitting mills of Ocala, Fla., established several years ago by colored people, where boys and girls of the race are employed. So successful has the enterprise proved that the incorporators have enlarged th plant and installed modern machinery to the extent of $100,000. When the new plant is completed a larger number of colored youths will find employment. LAURA TYLER PASSES AWAY. News of the death of Mrs. Laura Tyler, the well known comedienne and dancer, at her home, 120 West 135th street, last Thursday, January 4, at 3 a. m., was received with great sorrow by her many friends in the theatrical world. Mrs. Tyler's wonderful contralto voice featured in Ernest Hogan's "Rufus Rastus Co." Later she entered vaudeville, doing a single act. Her act was one of the first that was presented at the opening of New Lincoln Theatre in 1915. She is survived by her husband, Herbert Tyler, a mother, brother and three nieces. The body of the actress was prepared by Undertaker C. F. Carr, and subsequently sent to Philadelphia for interment at Ogden cemetery. OUR SUCCESS IN THE FIELD OF ATHLETICS. In almost every line of athletics, amateur and professional, young colored men and boys have won high honors. In the old days Moses Walker, a catcher, and Frank Grant, a second baseman, were hired in league hall until the unwritten law barred colored --- men from the diamond. In pugilism there have been scores of great boxers of African descent, starting with Tom Molineux, who was really the first world's champion, although tricked out of his honors, and including such names as Peter Jackson, George Dixon, Jackson Johnson, Sam Langford and Joe Jeanette. FOR "NEGRO WEST POINT." Washington, D. C., January 9.—Giles B. Jackson, Negro lawyer of Richmond; James H. Hayes, of Washington, and a score of other Negro men, appeared before the Senate Committee on Military Affairs today and urged the creation of a "Negro West Point" for the training of colored men in military affairs. They suggested the establishment of such an institution near Richmond, with land for it donated to the government. Jackson told the committee that there are 10,000,000 Negroes in the United States, and in the event of war, many would enlist. He said they should have military training, for a trained man is worth three untrained soldiers. Jackson also stated that the Negro soldier served this country faithfully and bravely in the Revolutionary War and in the War of 1812, as well as in the Spanish-American War. JACK JOHNSON TROPHY IN BOS TON PAWNSHOP. Won When He First Became World's Heavyweight Champion. Ordinarily a black opal trophy in a pawnshop window would not attract any great amount of attention. This one did, however. It is a souvenir of Jack Johnson's first battle for recognition in the heavyweight ranks and has just been discovered in a Beech street pawnship. Johnson received the trophy the day he whipped Tommy Burns for the world's heavyweight championship. It is of 18-karat gold and was probably used as a watch fob. On one side is a hugh opal, and on the other the following inscription: Just how the emblem drifted into the pawnshop nobody seems to know, not even the proprietor of the place, where it is now for sale. The trophy was pawned for $50, but we would place its value at about $200. Western University girls basket ball team plays Edwardville High School January 19. Read the results in The Sun next week.

MISSOURI PACIFIC IRON MOUNTAIN INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) FIRST DISCIPLE OF THE LORD JESUS. LESSON TEXT—John 1:35-49. GOLDEN TEXT—Jesus saith unto him, follow me.—John 1:48. The words "I see" or "behold" occur fifteen times in this first chapter. John was a witness to the Son of Man. This term, "Son of Man," occurs eighty times in the gospel. The words "Come and see," or their equivalents, occur nine times in this lesson. This is a great invitation lesson. It would be interesting if the scholar would tell what the voices are which say, "Come," and which are urging them to "stay" away from God. Bethabara was probably two miles from the fords of the Jordan, where John baptized. Jesus was thirty years old, just entering upon his ministry. Tiberius Caesar was the emperor and Pontius Pilate the governor of Judaea. I. The Son of Man Attracts Men. (vv. 35-39) not by his ethical teachings nor alone by his works and his character, but what he was and inspired in others attracted men to Jesus (John 10: 41). Crowds still gathered around the baptizer who "changed the hearts of men as by a spell." John, the Baptizer, brought terror to men. He broke through the crust of self-righteousness and indifference, and compelled men to see their need of forgiveness and of a new life, but the time had come when John must step aside, and Jesus "to increase," to begin his ministry. Four successive days are noticed in this chapter. Andrew (v. 40), and doubtless the apostle John, who wrote this account, were the two disciples (v. 35) to whom John, the Baptizer, speaks. It is interesting to note the different kinds of men who were attracted to Jesus; the aggressive Peter, the reflective Thomas, the practical Judas. He had what the souls of men needed, and they followed him. Aware of their questioning, Jesus turns to them with the question: "What think ye?" the first recorded words of his public ministry. This is a great testing question of every man's life. What is the aim and purpose of your life? Jesus, the kingdom of God, goodness, righteousness, usefulness or on the other hand selfishness, worldliness, success, ambition, money, pleasure? These disciples who had listened to this testimony of the baptizer, replied that they wanted to know where they like to talk with him and discuss the problems which were arising in their minds. Three steps of Christian experience are here suggested. These, two disciples heard, they looked and they followed. Other steps must come shortly, but we must first look at Jesus as the Lamb, if we are to follow him as our example. We must believe what he has done (Cor. 3:25) before we can ask what would Jesus do or try to imitate him. It is by following that we demonstrate that we have really looked unto him and been saved. Teachers should pray for the same effective Holy Ghost witnessing as that given by John (John 4:39). The Son of Man uses men to be his tools; the Son of Man must and does use human agencies. Men are saved through saved men (II Cor. 5:18). This work is effective through those that follow (v. 37), and it is made permanent through those who abide (v. 29). The great principle of all missions, of all Christian activities is to work through the hearing ear, the believing heart, the confessing mouth. This work is made effective, through those who follow (see Rom. 10:14). The result of this interview appears to be that they were convinced that Jesus was the Messiah, and were filled with an impulse to spread the good news. This interview was not the end, for they remained with Jesus, and it was the beginning of a lifelong abiding in him which transformed their lives and hearts. II. The Son of Man Cares for His Own. (vv. 39-42). The instruction which they received from abiding with him impelled them, as we have already indicated, to go out and spread the good news. The greatest act in the life of Andrew was the bringing of his brother Peter to Jesus. Jesus changed Peter's name, and gave him a prophecy of his future life and career. He saw the possibilities within him, though it took much instruction, bitter experiences, prayer and long abiding with Jesus before he attained to those possibilities. It is this passage which gave rise to the organization of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, which has adopted, first, the "Rule of Prayer," that of daily prayer for the spread of Christ's kingdom among young men; second, "The Rule of Service," to make an earnest effort each week to bring at least one young man within the hour of the gospel of Jesus Christ. On the morrow Jesus would go forth to Galilee, that is to the East side, across the Jordan river, and on the way he found Philip. It was Philip who asked the question. "Show us the he used as to the resources sufficient to feed the hungering multitude John 6:5). John, the Evangelist, alone tells us about Philip. Philip saw not only the resources of Jesus, but he saw a union of the law of the prophets (v. 45) in this Jesus, and therefore could and did invite his brother to Jesus. Christianity would soon fill the earth if Christians would put forth the personal effort here suggested. This was the plan of evangelizing the world which Jesus used with the first six of his disciples, and it has never yet been improved upon, but the witnesses must know and be able truthfully to say: "Come and see." AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS --- Following is the address delivered by I. M. Terrell, principal of Prairie View college for colored youths before the State Association of Negro Teachers at the recent session in Calvert: "Three-fourths, or 75 per cent, of the Negro population of Texas live in the rural districts. But during the decade between 1900 and 1910 urban population increased nearly 7 per cent, while rural population had a corresponding decrease, due largely to unsettled and unattractive conditions in country communities. The conditions are the result of poor educational advantages. Over 89,000, or 27 per cent of the 361,000 Negroes ten years of age and over living in the rural districts in 1910 were unable to read and write—were illiterate. There is no reason why the country folk should not be quite as intelligent as the city or town people. "My object in quoting the above statistics is simply to impress you with the fact that a great responsibility rests upon the teachers in the rural districts. Unless we are able to improve conditions among our people in these parts they will begin to grow more restless and finally to drift or flock to the cities in great quantities, and even to other states. There is no greater proof of this fact now than the recent wholesale migration of Negroes to various sections of the country from other southern states. Texas has not suffered appreciably in this respect, so far, attributable in large part, I believe, to the fact that so far educational advantages in this state, so far as the Negro is concerned, surpass those of most southern states. And yet, while Texas has done a good part by its Negro population in an educational way, I am convinced that the situation is not yet safe, and something more must be done in order to forestall the same restlessness and exodus of the Negro population as now is occurring in other states. "The Negro does not seem to have been fully imbued with the spirit of rural betterment that is gripping the country. Somebody has been delinquent. The character of the average public school is not such as to insure the firmness of the educational system as represented by the Negro element. There have been too few efforts in the state at the establishment of rural high schools among colored people. And I am sure we all appreciate the need of such schools both as a means of affording opportunities for better preparation for life to those who will not find it possible to secure college education as well as for those who wish to go direct from their home to college. "In order to obtain or build up such schools, there must be co-operation between teachers and parents. The teacher must show his interest in the community's welfare. If he allows himself to be actuated by selfish motives, he can never hope to build up a school community. He must put the interests of the community first. He must subordinate his own to society's welfare. "The building-up of higher educational institutions is dependent upon the efficiency of the public schools. Seven-eighths of the attendance in the colleges of the state is made up of pupils from rural districts. Wherefore, it behooves us to look to the strengthening of the public school system, if we would insure the steady progress and development of our schools for higher learning. To the memory of Paul Laurence Dunbar, the Negro poet, educator and philanthropist, a bronze tablet was unveiled on Wednesday in the new Paul Laurence Dunbar school, Caroline and Jefferson streets, Baltimore. The ceremonies, conducted in the assembly room, were impressive. The deed poet was eulogized as "the only man of pure African blood and of American civilization to feel the Negro life esthetically and express it lyrically." Addresses were made by Charles J. Koch, superintendent of public schools; Hugh M. Burkett, a personal friend of Dunbar, and others. Alice Dunbar Nelson, widow of Dunbar, unveiled the tablet. Costa Rica now manufactures and exports Portland cement, a quarry of appropriate stone having been recently discovered. She also has sent her first shipment of manganese ore to the United States. A Vienna physician has obtained good results and effected some cures by treating insane persons whith hypodermic injections of pure oxygen. Government investigators found health standards low among New York garment workers. Only 2 per cent were free from physical defects or diseases.

Make a bag of cheesecloth from 12 to 18 inches square and stuff it with bran until about as full as a pine pillow. This bag is put into a tubbub half THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1917 "The student gets his taste and ambition for higher education in the public school, if he is to have it at all. Since such large proportion of our youth is trained in the rural districts, how necessary that we should take pains to provide proper educational advantages for their early training. We should seek to impress these boys and girls that education is not merely a tool for enabling them to provide or procure a living easier, but that it is intended to better fit people to live as units of society. "The country must not be neglected; it is the staff upon which civilization rests. As the rural communities stand so stands the state—economically, industrially and educationally." Archibald H. Grimke was re-elected president of the American Negro Academy at the session of its twentieth annual gathering, which is being held at the Twelfth street branch of the Young Men's Christian association in Washington. Other officers elected for the coming year were: First vice president, Prof. Kelly Miller; second vice president, Rev. Matthew Anderson; third vice president, Rev. L. V. Johnson; fourth vice president, Bishop J. Albert Johnson; recording secretary, Arthur U. Craig; corresponding secretary, J. W. Cromwell, and treasurer, Rev F. J. Grimke. Prof. Kelly Miller, J. E. Moreland, J. W. Cromwell, L. W. Hershaw, F. H. M. Murray and F. J. Grimke were elected members of the auditing committee. Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard university made an address, "Douglass From 1865 to 1895," and Judge Robert H. Terrell spoke on Douglass' work as an orator. Mr. Grimke spoke on Douglass as an anti-slavery agitator, dealing extensively with his work in the northern cities a number of years prior to the Civil war. Talks on the anti-slavery agitation prior to the advent of Douglass and on his work as a journalist were made by Carter Woodson and J. E. Bruce of New York city. Douglass came to Washington after the close of the Civil war, where he resided until 1855, the time of his death. He was an escaped slave from Maryland, who toured the northern states in the interests of freedom for the slaves. His two sons served in the war. He was a contributor to the periodicals of his day and wrote an autobiography that is considered one of the most interesting contributions to the literature of the colored race. The summer residents at Blue Ridge Summit, Monterey, Charmian and Buena Vista Springs, from Baltimore, Richmond, Norfolk, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, have purchased land formerly belonging to the late George T. Oliver of Baltimore at Blue Ridge Summit. A church, 30 by 58 feet, is now being built, which, when completed, will be presented to the colored people of that section, to be used as a place of worship during the summer. Heretofore the colored help at the many cottages had no church in which to hold religious services. If a regiment of 1,000 men, with equipment of 60,000 pounds, marches ten miles, it does as much work as laborers raising a weight of 260,000 tons a distance of one foot. The Hungarian government has established an experiment station for the study of the culture of flax and hemp. The 1910 census shows that 69,915 farms are operated by Negroes in Texas. Twenty-one thousand, two hundred and thirty-two of these farms are owned by them, while the remaining 48,605 farms are rented.

By royal order, the celebration of Arbor day has been made obligatory in every township and municipality in Spain, and tree-planting is to be more extensive than heretofore. There is a shoemaker in Kensington, Pa., who always signs his name by using his initials only, because his name takes too long to write. His name is Louis J. Sellamonweinsteilovitchki.

It is not well to remain in the water longer than five minutes and, if possible, the bather should rest ten minutes and then be massaged. If there is no one to do the massaging, one can rub the body thoroughly with a rough towel and kneed it with the hands. Experiments on the Philippine island of Mindango seem to indicate that the finest qualities of rubber can be produced there with profit. In Woman's Realm Pretty and Sensible Morning Dress Which May Be Made of Linen, but Is More Likely to Be Made of Cotton, Such as Indian Head or Some Other Suitable Weave—Pretty Headaddress for the Opera. Here is a pretty and sensible morning dress which may be made of linen but is more likely to be made of cotton such as Indian head or some other suitable weave. For it appears that linen is soaring in price, with the end not yet in sight. There is no very good reason for preferring it to substantial and beautifully-woven cotton materials. Now that the days are short and the evenings long, and while the weather out-of-doors is not Inviting, springtime clothes may be got under way. The dress shown may be cut by a THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S FASHION SHOW 1910 FASHION EMBROIDERED MORNING DRESS pattern for a plain skirt and jacket, furnished by any of the standard pattern companies. It has a wide cape collar and a belt with sash ends made of the same material as the dress. The skirt is embroidered near the bottom with occasional sprays of flowers, and this embroidery reappears on the cuffs, collars, and sash ends. The jacket is laid in plats at each side of the front and across the back. The sleeves are plain. Plain white buttons, either bone or pearl, and buttonholes, are used for fastening the jacket, whether the material of the dress is J I H white or a color, and the embroidery is done in white cotton. The same character of suit is made with a mildly blouse. This simplifies the matter of laundering them. Embroidery is left out of the reckoning on these. Among the newest and most satisfactory house dresses are skirts and blouses in one, of unbleached linen or cotton resembling it. In making these clothes, that must stand the wear of everyday and a weekly tubing, goods that will look best in the long run should be chosen. Even those who have no ear for music find the opera alluring, and one might be stone deaf and still find it Some New Pillows. The very latest in fancy pillows is the flower pillow. These new cushions are most attractive and at a suitable distance resemble a huge open flower very closely. For instance, one may have a pansy pillow made of purple and yellow satin shading from the yellow center to an almost black edge. The semblance of petals is gained by successions of puffings. The back of this pillow is of plain pansy-leaf green satin. A dahlia pillow is round with a dell- --- mighty well worth while. There is a feast spread there for the eyes, as well as the ears. The coifures and hair ornaments are enough to engross eyes that love to see woman's crowning glory still further glorified. This season, handsome combs have taken precedence over other hair ornaments. They are made of silver filgree, shell, coral, amber and gold; some of them are enameled, and most of them are set with brilliants and mock jewels. Besides these, there are many pretty opera caps and headaddresses in which mallines, brightened 1910 with spangles or rhinestones, make a background for wonderful feathers or other ornaments. A headaddress of this kind is pictured here. It consists of a fan of plaited malines, set on a headband made of wire, covered with many thicknesses of malines. In front of the fan of malines a smaller fan-shaped ornament of fine rhinestones is set, and bands of rhinestones are slipped over the headband, at short intervals, all the way round it. Silver cloth and silver lace make headbands that are ornamented with I either strands of pearls or rows of spangles or rhinestones set on them. They are easy to make. The foundation is a narrow band of buckram, covered with silver cloth. Silver lace is placed over this and sewed along the upper edge. In one of these ornaments a strand of pearl beads is sewed along the upper edge, and a disk, covered like the band with silver, is set at the front. Pearl beads are sewed all over its outer surface.

Oblong pillows of unusually large size are being covered with rich fabrics for use over the arm of a divan or chair or to be used as a bolster on a day bed according to the new scheme of interior decoration. Often these long oblong pillows, covered to match, tone in with or contrast with the general decorative scheme, and are used on the floor before davenports or large chairs as footrests. WASHINGTON CITY SIDELIGHTS Remnant of Only Confederate Balloon Discovered Remnant of Only Confederate Balloon Discovered WASHINGTON. The aviation branch of the war department has just received an interesting present in the shape of a piece of the only balloon owned by the Confederate army, which was made out of silk dresses contributed by the women of Rich- McChellan, who was in command of the Army of the Potomac, had seen balloons used in the Crimean war, and so made use of them in his campaign, selecting Professor Lowe to command that branch. The captured Confederate balloon was under the command of Gen. E. P. Alexander with the Army of Northern Virginia. It made but one ascension and that not very successful. This balloon was towed down the James river by a tug. After the balloon was captured, it was turned over to Professor Lowe for whatever use his department might make of it. Being of impractical materials and construction, it was cut up and pieces given as souvenirs to prominent persons of that day. Woman Scientist Puts Potato Through Its Paces Woman Scientist Puts Potato Through Its Paces FOR a number of years past the United States department of agriculture has been studying the potato and scientifically selecting and breeding new varieties that will bring it up to the highest standard of efficiency in its Potato growing on a large scale in the United States has been centralized in half a dozen localities, corresponding roughly to the various geographical divisions of the country. This specialization has created a demand for varieties adapted to conditions in particular localities, or for varieties possessing certain desirable qualities, such as heat and drought resistance, resistance to parasitic fungi, early or late maturity, high-starch content, etc. As a result of the years of selection and breeding literally thousands of seedling potatoes have been secured. These are grown in all parts of the United States where the office of horticulture and pomology has experimental grounds—Maine, Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado and Idaho—and complete records are kept of every phase of their development. "No matter how disease or drought resistant a potato vine may be, the seedling will prove of little practical importance if the potatoes have a disagreeable flavor or odor, if their flesh turns black after cooking, or if they do not prove suited to the demands of the housewife," said Miss Connor in talking of her work. "The tubers from each seedling which is thought worthy of saving are subjected to a cooking test, and if this is unfavorable the seedling must possess some very desirable culture characters to save it from the discard. "There are three general tests which we apply to each potato—bolling, baking and potato chips. The first two methods of cooking are the foundation of practically all the ways in which potatoes are served in the household." Awkward Moments When the President Is Present PRESIDENT WILSON and several of his predecessors have been very generous about attending many of the balls, receptions, and other semi-public functions to which the chief executive is invited, and certainly the president's presence adds measur- Southern society's ball at the Pan-American building. The first little informal reception, when the president met the guests of honor, the diplomats of Pan-America, was very pleasant, the supper for the distinguished guests a really charming affair. But between whiles, when the notables were seated in even rows in a sort of roped-off box and the other guests crowded around for a glimpse of them, one could think of nothing but Mrs. Jarley's wax works. At the Navy Relief ball the president and his party were half way across the room on their way out, when it was suddenly decided that some formal notice should be taken of their departure and the band struck up "The Star-Spangled Banner." There they had to stand at attention in the middle of the room until it was all over. The same sort of thing will continue to happen until there is some definite understanding of the etiquette which should attend the arrival of the president, his departure, and the time which he spends at a social function. Permanent Exposition of States in the Capital THE long-projected idea of the establishment in Washington of a permanent exposition of the states is revived and advocated on a comprehensive scale by the Federation of Citizens' Associations in conjunction with its territories or their personal representatives to attend a mass meeting to be held in Washington, probably on the evening of March 3, for the purpose of considering the desirability of establishing a permanent exposition here. Whether the original suggestion for separate buildings for the states will be advocated or in lieu of that, the proposal for one building in which each state will be represented by a room or suite of rooms where its exhibits may be installed, the conference itself, or a detainment. Many Washington organizations from time to time have advocated the permanent exposition idea, and members of the federation believe that the time is now at hand for launching the undertaking on a big scale. mond during the siege of that city. This relic was found among the effects of the late Prof. T. S. C. Lowe, who was aeronaut of the Army of the Potomac during the Civil war. It was given to the war department by his son, Leon P.

This will doubtless incite the "cracker" class to greater attainments along that line. Booze is the inspiration of the mob. No sober crowd outraged the majesty of the law. Therefore, as the wave of prohibition advances, so will the wave of violence recede. And things are slowly coming our way. --- The appointment of Dr. Eugene F Roberts to membership upon the Board of Education of the city of New York is a distinct honor to the whole race. This gives to a distinguished Negro a voice in directing the greatest educational system in the world. --- The raiding of an early Sunday morning "Dog-Walkin" party near their thenth and Woodland in which "white gemmen" and "culud ladies" were participating, shows that the new vice crusade, like the old ones, reserves its strongest antipathy for vice in the garb of "social equality." NOBLES OF THE MYSTIC SHRINE A grand reception was tendered Noble I. H. Bradbury, retiring potentate of Medinah Temple No. 39, St. Louis, Mo., January 6, 1917, at Masonic hall by the Nobles at that city. During the administration of Noble Bradbury this order had a phenominal growth in membership. Every Shriner felt proud to honor such a noble; one of the largest gathering in the history of the Temple were present to give their old Sheikh the glad. "Es. Alaam Alamp—Pooch." A four course menu was served with cigars and a few other trimmings. DR. DUBOIS ILL. New York, Jan. 10.—The crowded evening session of the sixth annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held in the chapel of St. Philip's church, Dr. Hutchins C. Bishop, rector came to an abrupt and excited close on Tuesday evening when Dr. Dustin S. Stingray, chairman of the board of directors, announced in a voice choking with emotion that he could not make his address as the message had just come to him that a second and vital operation must at once be performed on Dr. W. E. B. Dubols, at St. Luke's hospital. Dr. Springarn then, in a cursory review of Dr. Dubols' life, contracted his with that of Dr. Booker T. Washington's prayers. A stifled murmur swept over the audience, including hundreds of prominent white and colored citizens. The meeting and session was adjourned suddenly. Archibald H. Grimke, of the Washington branch, presided and introduced the speakers. —N. Y. News. --- A. F. AND A. M. MO. JURISDICTION. Officers—1917. W. W. Fields, Cameron, Mo., Grand Master. Wm.

Notes Basket ball games and indoor track meets will form the biggest part of the program of the physical work this month. Last Sunday was a great day for the men who availed themselves of the opportunity to hear Dr. Sheafe in his portrayal of the promises of the Bible. It was one of the most interesting and instructive addresses the men have had for many a day. To make the occasion more enjoyable, Dr. Sheafe sang several songs. Again Jan. 21st, he is to address the men. Even a larger crowd is expected on this occasion than on last Sunday. He will sing "Beulah Land." The boys of the association are now being interviewed as to their religious life. Every boy will be given especial attention along this line. The program of work with the boys for the year includes special effort among employed boys. There are more than 800 boys between the ages of fourteen and twenty-one years, employed in the city in different lines of work. The packing houses alone employing one-third of this number. The grade school boys are beginning to prepare for the exhibition of physical work to be held early in the spring. The most enthusiastic annual members meeting ever, was the verdict of those who attended the Red-Blue Jollification and annual members meeting on Friday night/Jan. 12th. The address on "Physical Work and Business Efficiency," by Mr. C. A. Franklin, was a strong testimonial for physical training by business men. Mr. L. C. Stewart, speaking for the boy's department emphasized by this branch of the work and urged upon the mer more interest in the Junior member ship. The growth one receives from Bible study was vividly recited by Prof. J. R. E. Lee, who teaches one of the largest Bible classes in the associations' Bible school. Work of the past and plans for the future of the religious work were given by Mr. Edw. Ross, chairman of the religious work department. The mea were made to see in a new way, the advantages accruing to the public and especially the traveling public through the dormitories and the cafeteria by W. G. Mosely. After the annual report by the executive secretary and the election of Mr. G. A. Page, Mr. Edw. Ross and Mr. Jas. H, Crews to succeed themselves for the ensuing three years as managers and the election of Mr. L. C. Stewart as an additional member to the board of managers, the Red-Blue Jollification was held. The original Triumphal Song by THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1917 Lieutenant Crews, was followed by addresses from Capt. S. H. P. Edwards, Lieutenant Page and the long to be remembered "Swan" address by the captain of the defeated team, Austin Young. Betty & Sam's Little Corner —That a lot of automobiles driven by Negroes during the balmy summer months have disappeared. Where, oh where have they gone. Echo answers where. —That there never were so many divorces being applied for as this term. Cause? Hard times. —That somebody ought to be made suffer for the outrageous prices charged for coal these wintry days. —That the Cosmopolitans were sure giving the Ivanhoes a run for popularity in their recent ball. Well, they have to go some. —That if the numerous revivals going on will succeed in saving a few of the "bad niggers" in this city, they will not have been in vain. Amen. —That an overcoatless dude is still wearing his low cuts from last summer, was heard to remark that "if I can just make it through the balance of this month and February, I'll be all sat." Can he do it? —That if it wasn't for the women the Churches would have an awful rocky time. Yes indeed. --- —That the following little poem from the pen of Phil Brown in the Saturday News is a lala cooler and we especially want all our deliquid subscribers to read it and the addenda attached thereto: "Goodbye, Mr. 'Taker.'" And when you take another paper We hope you'll be in (deleted) We hope you'll ring the bell." The editor being somewhat of a poet in his own right, volunteered the last line to this immortal poem, but the delenda that was imposed upon our devil is, believe us—our fondest hope. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH The pastor, Dr. Bacote, preached at 11:00 o'clock. There were 2 additions to the Church in the morning. At 3:00 p. m. The Union revival of the twenty-two Baptist Churches held their first services. A chorus of 150 voices furnished the music. Rev. J. J. Richardson, of the Kansas side, delivered the opening sermon which was soul stirring and caused much shouting. In the evening Dr. Bailey, the great evangelist, preached a grand sermon on "The Four Essentials to Christian Workers," to a large congregation. Monday evening Dr. Bailey preached on "Jesus Only." to an enthusiastic congregation. Twenty-five "hit the trail." People of all denominations are asked to join us in this great effort in saving souls. To The Kansas City Sun:— Certain people are saying that "we'eens" mean to humiliate you and "we'eens" know that if "we'eens" say or tell anything it will be believed. So "we'eens" have just said and did anything that "we'eens" pleased. "We'eens" and "you'eens" have run around and strewn polosnous reports to your satisfaction at my expense. "We'eens" and "you'eens" have called yourselves giving me a good time by trying to stop me from working and "you'eens and we'eens" have done a great deal to retard my progress and have tried to discourage the friendliness of both men and women against me but "you'eens and we'eens" didn't know very much. I had no idea what the next slanderous accusation was made against me, but i thappened to be one of the lowest that can be said about any man and yet I was not surprised. I have received so much notoriety with harmful intent that I did not mind it very much when it was intimated that I was a user of caricatures, but this last one is awful. I suppose I can stand it as I do all others since I have been ostracized. This accusation is the last that can be made that is really harmful. Men laugh while women scorn, but every person doesn't know the truth or the why. I do not need to keep the job I have now, but if "you'eens and we'eens" keep up this talk the best you could get would be a clubbing, and that's all. My advice is to not throw rocks at the little brindle bull dog you may see laying in the yard asleep. They may be of the kind that run, and may not. I am not guilty as yet of any of the accusations you have made about me. Signed, JIM RHODES.

Rev. Lewis C. Sheafe is attracting many to Allen, not only by his excellent sermons, but also by his charming singing, which alone, should be the means of bringing souls to Christ. The way he sang "The Holy City" was an inspiration in itself. During the week there were four additions. Several visitors were present. James H. Crews, one of Allen's most and faithful workers, has organized a mortgage club, composed of men and women who believe in accomplishing what they undertake.

JANUARY 20. 1917 SIGNAL CORPS BACK Kansas City's Crack Company Was Mustered Out at Fort Riley, Kansas. MADE FINE RECORD ON BORDER Organization Was First Militia Unit in Nation to Answer Ready When the Call Came. After more than six months on the border, where it singularly distin guished itself and won the highest praise of regular army inspectors Kansas City's crack signal company has returned home. Besides bringing in much more equipment than they took with them to the border Field Company A, Signal Corps, came back to the city with exactly 414 additional pounds of sturdy manhood. Corparisons made from weights taken when they mustered into federal service last July and with their mustering out at Fort Riley show that sixty out of sixty-eight members had put on flesh. The biggest gain was by First Class Sergeant Estil P. Ravenscroft, who is twenty six pounds heavier than when he left for the border. The greatest loss, strange enough, was by one of the cooks, who is thirteen pounds lighter. Of the officers, Captain Garrett lost two pounds, First Lieutenant Smith gained two and First Lieutenant Lyons remained at the same weight. When Uncle Sam decided the possibility of war with Mexico had entered the realm of probability one day late in last June, he flashed all military organizations a brief telegram to that effect. The message was received by Captain Garrett at 6 p. m. and at 9 o'clock that evening General H. C. Clark, commanding the Missouri division, was notified that every member of the organization was in uniform and packed ready to start with the corps at full war strength. Had train service permitted, Captain Garrett would have been under way by midnight. As it was, the signal corps was the first Missouri unit to arrive at the Nevada, Mo., mobilization camp hours ahead of any other unit in the nation, to prove itself ready and up to full military requirements. One of the largest deals in undeveloped land in the Ozarks in a number of years was consummated at Eminence when a 5,500-acre tract on Current river in Shannon county was sold by C. L. V.

Mr.Dudgeon's Dance By GEORGE HASKELL (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman). "No, sir, I'll never consent to it!" coared the elderly gentleman in the library chair. Dudgeon senior always roared when he was angry. Just now he was storming like a regulation scene in a cheap melodrama. Dudgeon junior, his only son and heir, faced him without qualifying. The young fellow had an award, defiant tilt to his strong chin, and his gray eyes looked straight into those of the angry man. "But, father," he protested, "you have not even seen her." "I don't want to. You may not think social position counts for anything, but it does. 'Albert Dudgeon's son marries the village dressmaker'—that would look well in headlines, wouldn't it?" "I don't care how it would look!" retorted the young man. "Well, I do, and I won't stand for it." "Miss Alken is not just a dressmaker—though I shouldn't care if she were—she has great talent as a designer." "Huh!!" snorted the other. "There may be some of her gowns next week at our dance." "I shouldn't wonder," was the quiet answer. "I would. Not on your life. They'll come from New York." "I'm not discussing gowns," said d. "Then I Must Have the First Dance." Dudgeon, Jr., "I'm discussing the girl I love." "Then the discussion is closed," yelled his parent. At young Dudgeon's visit that evening to Rose Akinse she drew him from the gist of his interview with his father. "Bert, dear, I—I can't come between you and your father—it would not be right," she said, trying to be very firm and brave. "I'd hate to go dead against dad—I'm all he has—but you're more to me than everything outside the world." When conservation was resumed he added: "I have a little money of my own, and I guess I can make my way somewhere outside of the firm." "I wasn't thinking of that," she answered. "This little business is my own, and it is building up wonderfully. Just think! I'll have a hundred gown at your party next week!" "Scott: Who's going to wear it?" "Miss Cursley. She has always helped me by ordering things ever since I started." "Grace Cursley is a brick!" cried Dudgeon. "She's a chum of mine, and she knows how I feel about you!" "She does!" exclaimed Rose in blank surprise. "Yes, and she stands by me. But she knows how to keep a secret." "I'm afraid there won't be any to keep." murmured the girl disconsolately. "No, Bert, no, I couldn't do it!" The day of the dance arrived. It was an event in the millionaire colony, and Rose Alken examined with dismay the unfinished gown which should have gone to Miss Cursley the day before. Two of her best hands had been laid off by illness, there was a great deal of embroidery and fine work to be done on the gown, and she was anxiously trying to finish it herself. The Cursleys had gone up to town rather early this season, and Grace was one of a week-end house party at the Dudgeons. Rose had just asked my apprentice to wait to take the parcel up to the house, when the telephone began to ring. It was Miss Cursley anxious enquiries about the dress. "Yes, I'll have it there by eight," promised Rose. "Do please bring it yourself, so if anything's wrong. Nobody but you can fix it," came through the 'phone. Rose feeling that wild horses couldn't under any other circumstances have dragged her to that house was forced to promise. Promptly at eight o'clock she was admitted to Miss Cursley's room. "It's just dear of you to come," she smiled, dismissing the hairdresser. "But no one will see you. Things don't begin till about ten you know." Miss Cursley exclaimed delightedly over the gown as she put it on. over the gown as she put it on. The gown found alterations to make, in fact, proper. worked busily, but it was getting near ten when she had finished. "Please put it on yourself," implored Grace, "I want to see it on 'the living model.'" She was in a kimona, snugly ensoSED nnong cushions, and declared she was too tired to move. "Besides," she added, "I want it to be just right, so it can be a good 'ad' for you. "Stunning!" exclaimed Miss Cursley, "And it just suits you!" Rose began to undo the fastenings, when suddenly there was a rush of feet through the hall, and the cry of fire. Both girls sprang to the door to be greeted by stifling smoke as they ran out. Rose was for going back, and closing the door, but the other excitedly dragged her toward the stairway. A mad rush of panic-stricken guests behind her, swept her from her feet. At that instant she felt a strong arm lifting her back to the landing. She looked up to see an elderly gentleman, whom she at once recognized as the master of the house, quieting the guests in firm authoritative tones. There was not the slightest danger. Something had burned up in the kitchen, that was all. In his excitement he was oblivious to the fact that he was still holding tightly to the young lady he had rescued, in spite of her futile efforts to wriggle away. He now apologized, saying he hoped to still further smooth out matters down in the ballroom. Rose murmured out something about not being able to stay very long. "Then I must have the first dance," he insisted. "You owe me that, you know for saving you a fall." The very admiring glance with which this was accompanied, made Rose promise, and she fled in confusion to Miss Cursley's room. Once inside she sank down laughing, and told her the whole story. "Of course, now, he'll be sure I'm a villain, because I can't keep my promise." "O but you must!" said the other. "Must!" echoed Rose blankly. "Why yes. I don't want to go down before eleven I'd rather rest. You go, and give Papa Dudgeon his dance. I wouldn't miss this for a farm!" And the girl went off into gales of laughter. "But someone will know me," objected the other. "They won't get a chance to tell him till you're gone." Rose was game, and went down just in time for her dance. She managed to escape the notice of Dudgeon, Jr., till near the close of the dance she caught his eye wide with startled amazement. With difficulty she kept from shaking with laughter. The moment his father had smilingly bowed his thanks, Bert was at her side. "Quick!" she cried, "let me get out of here. This is worse than the Cinderella stunt. I've got to be away before eleven, and not even a pumpkin coach." On the way upstairs, she explained to her dazed escort, who with suppressed chuckles, a few minutes later, put her in his car, and took her home, with a promise to let her know the outcome. The next day he told her how a catty woman had revealed to his father the identity of his partner, and how Miss Cursley had rallied to Rose's defense, saying her family was as good as anyone's there, and ended by telling the whole story. At this instant a figure loomed up in the door way, and the culprits faced Dudgeon, Sr. "Nice little business you have here, Miss Aiken," he said briskly. "Sorry to ask you to give it up. But my son prefers to support his wife." Earth's Land and Sea. The area of the earth is estimated to be 196,550,000 square miles, of which 55,500,000 square miles is land and 141,050,000 square miles is water. Continuently the land is divided in square miles as follows: Europe, 3,750,000; Asia, 17,000,000; Africa, 11,500,000; North America, 8,000,000; South America, 6,800,000; Oceania, 3,450,000; polar regions, 5,000,000. The British empire extends over the largest area, 13,123,000 square miles; Russia is the second largest empire, 8,400,000 square miles; France is third, with 4,330,000 square miles; the United States, with its island possessions, covers 3,750,000 square miles; Brazil, 3,220,000. The present estimated population of the earth of all nationalities and various degrees of civilization is 1,623,000,000. It has been estimated that the earth can maintain a population of 6,000,000,000, a total which at the present rate and increase would be reached about A. D. 2100. Dealing With Troubles. We shrink instinctively from troubles as we shrink from hard and painful tasks; we cannot escape the suffering they bring; but we decide whether they shall weaken or strengthen us. It lies with us to receive them as enemies or as friends. They offer us fortitude, patience, courage, strength, growth or cowardice, bitterness, despair; we cannot prevent them from coming to us, but we can decide whether they shall help or hinder us in our life purposes. World's Largest Spring Mammoth spring, at Mammoth Spring, Ark., is the largest spring in the world. This spring covers 18 acres, flows 600,000 gallons of water a minute and is 70 feet deep. It forms Spring river, 350 feet wide. The flow does not fluctuate the year round. Left Him Thinking.

You would say, on first thoughts, that there could be no such life: the Riviera must be dead—wiped off the map. Yet a life, strange, new, burning with interest and romance, was born in the French Riviera August 2, 1914, writes C. N. and A. M. Willittson in the London Graphic. Of course, the Riviera was struck the same sweeping blow that struck all France across her brave, astonished face. At the cling of the toesin, the men of the Midl ran out into the streets of picturesque rock villages among the hills and tourist towns along the sea, as the men of the North were doing. But the Riviera thrilled under the mence of a peril all her own. Just across the beautiful Gorge of St. Louis lived a friend who might in an hour become an enemy. Italy was there, with her mountain forts looking towards the forts of France. Lazy, summer-time Mentone and Monte Carlo and Nice, with "nothing doing" except for bathers and baskers on the beach, or faithful lovers of a quiet game of roulette, waked up with a horrified start. Would Italian guns begin battering the Cote d'Azur? Officers moreted secretly by night up to the quadrilateral of forts in the mountains, taking ammunition in automobile vans commandeered from the big shops of Nice, those charming shops where any thought of tragedy would have seemed ridiculously out of place. Flight of the Working-Folk. Panic-stricken, the Italian working- folk settled along the coast from Mentone to Marselles started to scuttle across the frontier. They feared interment and a hundred vague horrors. Under the blinding sun of August, along the dazzling roads of Upper and Lower Corniche, marched an endless procession, and those who can imagine only processions of smart automobiles between Mentone and Cannes would have thought themselves dreaming that long black line. it was a line of men and women, old and young, tottering children and babies in arms—in arms because the perambulators were piled with the family baggage. And there were donkey-carts, wheelbarrows, caravans, every sort of vehicle. Despite the tragedies of the march (children dying on the way) it had its humorous side, because, as it turned out, the whole business was unnecessary. The next phase through which the Riviera passed, however, was far from funny. She doesn't really fall as fast asleep in summer-time as those who know her only in winter seem to think. There is always the wonderful "Passion Play" at Roquebrune. There is always a delightful bathing season, and in August the Azure Beauty is quietly, almost stealthy, busy in planning her winter campaign. In that historic August of 1014 the landlords and shop- CORFU CORFU VIEW OF VILLETRANCHIE Election time was drawing near and an enthusiastic politician was addressing his constituents in a frenzied speech. Not *few* of his assertions, reduced to cold thought, were diametrically opposed to one another, but each proposal was received with applause. A judge turned to his companion and said: "This reminds me of the Irish leader who was cheering his men on to battle, 'Min,' said he, 'ye are on the verge of battle, an' I want to ask ye before ye start, will ye fight or will ye run? 'We will,' came a chorus of eager replies. 'Which will ye do?' says he. 'We will not,' says they. 'Aha, ye me, me min' says he. 'I thought thank you.' That of all the points of good breeding I most require and insist upon is deference. I like that every chair be a throne and hold a king. I prefer a tendency to stateliness, to an excess of fellowship. Let the incommunicable objects of nature and the metaphysical isolation of man teach us independence. Let us not be too much ac- Deference. keepers and amusement caterers of every sort were improving their properties, arranging their advertisements and preparing for another season of peace and plenty. Then suddenly came the crash, and for them it looked the end of the world when, on August 5, the Monte Carlo casino closed its doors. Meenwhile the people whose business had always been to make the Riviera attractive, were looking each other in the face. They saw nothing but ruin ahead. But something desperate had to be done, for the living of many thousands depended on their decision and its success. Just as bravely as the young men were fighting in the North, the older men in the South put their backs to the burden. They got no sympathy from outside. They must stand together and save the Riviera as their sous and younger brothers were saving the rest of France. Few hotels were to remain shut for the season, except those which were needed for hospitals. The shops were to do "business as usual," and a great petition was sent to the Casino not to keep its doors closed; it was more "sympathetic." It was more patriotic to open them. The Sodete saw the justice of this, since the life of the Riviera might hang on their world. Consent was given, though it looked as if it meant a large monetary loss, and on January 1, 1915, when the war was six months old, the Casino at Monte Carlo began to do its "bit" by the public, as already it was doing for its employees. By this time everything was getting into full swing. But what a different "everything" from what we had all known! If you were not doing some good work, public or private, you were as much ashamed of yourself as if you had stayed in London. Not even an automobile dared to show its nose unless it had a Red Cross on it. And without its dust-rising hordes of motors the Riviera began to be a wondrous new place, that had to be discovered all over again. When you had finished your daily work of visiting the poor or of suffering in some rock village or hospital, when you had put together your pile of knitted socks, or the bandages you had promised to make, you could actually go for a quiet walk—a joy forgotten since high-powered cars took over the Riviera. Ordinary guitaries were given up, and it wasn't fully realized yet how kindly how cleverly they could be organized for doing good. In Mentone the tall black Senegalese soldiers had begun to appear, at first to be trained for a new kind of fighting; then, when they had fought, as invalids in the hotel-hospitals, But, well or wounded, they were a gay crowd. They made Mentone picturesque with their costumes and their camp fires and their games in the streets. quainted.

Daily Thought Love and Happiness ALL MADE WITHOUT EGGS Nine Recipes That Do Not Call for the More or Less Expensive "Hen Fruit." Rice Pudding—One small tencupful of rice, three-quarter cupful sugar, one quart milk, a little grated nutmeg; soak one hour, turning frequently; bake two hours without stirring. Tapioca Pudding—Three large tablespoonfuls of tapioca (granulated), three-quarter cupful sugar, one quart milk, a little nutmeg; soak one hour, stirring; bake two hours without stirring. Indian Pudding—One and one-half cupful meal, one cupful molasses, one tablespoonful beef suet chopped fine; boiling water to fill two-quarter pudding dish, stirring all the time; bake slowly four hours. Here is a good pudding sauce to use now when eggs are high; Plain Sauce—Melt one tablespoonful butter, add two tablespoonful flour, one and one-half cupfuls hot water, cook until smooth, then add one and one-half cupfuls brown sugar, two teaspoonful lemon juice and nutmeg. Date Cookies—One large cupful dates, stone and cut in pieces, one cupful sugar, two-thirds cupful butter, a little salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; stir all together in two teaspoonful baking powder, one-half cupful milk or water, flour stiff enough to handle. Cream Toast—Two tablespoonful butter, two tablespoonful flour heated and blended, add two cupfuls cold milk, stirring until smooth; add one teaspoonful of sugar, if wished sweet. Griddle Cakes—One and one-half pints flour, one-half teaspoonful baking powder, water to make thin batter. Cormeal Mush—Stir the meal into boiling water, a handful at a time. It must be stirred well and kept boiling all the time. Do not leave it for a minute. When you feel it thickening that is plenty. Stir for a couple of minutes, or until it is quite thick; set on back of stove and cook one-half hour or less; turn into pan, cover with another to prevent hard crust forming; in morning slice and fry in hot fat for breakfast and serve with molasses. English Muffins—One quart flour, one-half teaspoonful sugar, teaspoonful salt, two large teaspoonful baking powder, one and one-quarter pints milk; fry on griddle. STAND FOR FIRELESS COOKER Convenient and Useful Article That May Be Provided at an Expense That Is Insignificant. Get a good, strong packing box, 20 inches high, 32 inches long and 18 inches wide, have the carpenter saw a door 24 inches long and 20 inches wide on front of box, using three strong hinges on outside of box five inches from the floor. Fasten at top with a small closet catch, put inside one shelf six inches wide and full length of box on small cleats half the depth of your box. Now paint box with two or three coats of good paint, same color as your cooker; line the box (door also) with blue and white table oilcloth; cover shelf with oilcloth. This makes a sanitary, dust-proof, easily-cleaned cupboard to keep the fireless cooking utensils in and a strong stand for the cooker; saves bending over, keeps cooker cleaner. The five-inch space at bottom of door prevents dust getting in when sweeping. Scalloped Tomatoes When making common stewed or scalloped tomatoes, always and a slice of onion and a clove or two. You will find it makes all the difference in the world in the taste. We slice both ripe and green ones into half-inch slices without peeling, dip them in flour, brown them in butter, then lay them on a hot platter, and surround them with a sauce made by pouring a cupful of milk or thin cream into the frying pan, first shaking in a heaping tablespoonful of flour and stirring until blended with the butter juice. Stir the sauce with smooth and rich, and season with pepper and salt. This may be served on toast as a main dish for lunch.—Ladies' World. Cracker Puffs. Split six crackers and soak them for half an hour in cold water. They will be twice their usual size. Take them out with a skimmer, being careful not to break or crack them, and place them in a buttered pan, the inner side up. Butter tops of crackers and place in a hot oven. The oven must be very hot or the crackers will not puff. In half an hour they should be well puffed and brown. Serve them with any kind of stewed or pressed fruit with whipped cream if desired, but they are nice without the cream. Stuffed Fresh Shoulder Get a shoulder that weighs five or six pounds and have the butcher take out the bone, without cutting it open. Pack with dressing made of 12 crackers rolled fine, add pepper, salt and butter and little poultry seasoning. Molsten with boiling water and add a beaten egg. Tie up well with string, put in pan and shake on a little salt, pepper and flour. When browned a little add hot water and keep basting. Add more hot water if necessary. Thicken gravy when done. Fish Salad Recipe. Take any white bollied fish or several kinds of fish and free it from skin and bone and flake it not too finely. Arrange it in the dish and cover with thick mayonnaise sauce. Make a border of dice of beetroot and then sliced hard-bollied egg- Arrange a latticework of shreds of filleted chony over the mayonnaise and put a caper in each incision. Serve toast and French roll and butter with the salad. Minced Beef on Toast. Cut a cupful of cold roast beef into small cubes. Make a cream sauce by melting one tablespoonful of butter. When melted add one tablespoon of flour. When mixed season with pepper and salt. Stir until smoothly thickened and simmer three minutes; then add meat, stirring until heated, no longer. Remove from fire and serve on toast. DESIGN FOR SPRING Almost any perfectly plain item of outer apparel may be listed as a "sports" garment. Women, however, are not at all disturbed by this classification, and select sports skirts and blouses for home and utility wear, and sports suits and coats for general service because this type of apparel is generally most becoming, as well as smart. The sketch illustrates a very chic little sports blouse or golf shirt, as some prefer to call it, and a sports skirt, the latter being a spring model design. The blouse is made of white wool jersey, cloth. It is of the slip-over variety. The buttoned-on belt at the front makes this possible. The neck opening is secured by means of buttonholes and loop buttons. If desired, collar, cuffs and pocket edging, as well as the detachable front belt, may be of broadcloth in color, although questionably more service is guaranteed if the blouse is all white. It is unlined, and, although wool jersey cloth will shrink amazingly if carelessly houndered, this can be avoided by proper handling. To make the blouse two yards of material 36 inches wide will be required. The skirt, an advance spring model, as stated, is also a forerunner of spring in the selection of material plaids will be amazingly popular. 100 Modish Sports Skirt and Blouse. Twelve, fifteen and even eighteen-inch-wide plaids are approved by Dame Fashion for spring sports wear. The skirt sketched is laid in wide box-plait panels and plain panels, the latter finished at the bottom with many rows of stitching at the bottom in a color to blend or contrast with the color of the plaid. Black and white is to be smart, and plaids in very high colors will be strongly approved. As will be noted by a glance at the small upper sketch, the plaids extend to the top of the yoke, giving the skirt an unusual silhouette. Only a slender figure could wear a skirt of this exact type becoming. A more fitted yoke might, however, easily be substituted. To make the skirt four and a half yards of material 36 inches wide will be required. BEST EFFECTS IN FURNITURE Black and White, in Artistic Designs Is Most Popular of Fashionable Furnishings. The fad for black and white in interiors still rages. In its present form this fad is a good one, for now that we have passed the days of overdoing the black-and-white idea we have come upon some really charming effects. The rage for black has taught us that dark furniture is often far more effective than light furniture. And that is something worth learning. There are places, of course, where dark furniture does not look well. But in a room of rather heterogeneous color scheme dark furniture is almost sure to look best. So if you have on hand any old furniture, even of a dilapidated sort, darken it. Use brown or black stain, and with this stain turn the cherry bedside stand, the golden oak rocking chair, the battered curly maple writing desk, the green-stained mission bureau and dressing table, the gray enamel bed—turn them all into a dull, dark bedroom suite. Then place them in a room with mustard yellow or soft blue paper on the walls, with bright chintz SPRING STYLES COMING SOON Winter Fashions Responsible for the Early Introduction of the New Season's Garments. Every fashion has its foundation. Have you observed that there are fewer fur-trimmed suits this season than in recent years? This is due to the popularity of fur suits. Women who own one or more sets demand trimmed suits so that they can conveniently wear their fur pieces, and also that a change can be made in the sets. Whether the straight silhouette is responsible for the vogue of velvets and satins, or whether the materials created the straight lines is a question an tantalizing as the hen-and-egg problem. Nevertheless, it is true that the one is dependent upon the other. It would be almost impossible to use soft satins and silky velvets for the bourant lines of last year, hence the straight-from-the-shoulder cry. The craze for long coats has lowered the demand for coat suits. As a result, it is predicted that spring styles SPRING BUNNET UNZENWOOD LIMBERTWOOD Lovely lingerie Smolini "Bluebird" model of pale lavender embroidered batiste, with wide streamers of pale pink and lavender moiree ribbon caught at the side of the crown with a large pink rose. The hat is a beauty and without a doubt will be a popular favorite during the spring season. or soft cream muslin hangings, and congratulate yourself on the result, which will most surely be a charming one. It is really a very interesting work, this painting and staining of furniture. And the fact that it does bring harmony out of a lack of it, that it does make old and worn furniture a pleasant possibility, makes the work quite worth while. So get a can of dark oak or dark walnut stain or of black paint or enamel and go to work to bring dark harmony out of your old furniture. Then there is the Jacobean and Elizabethan and Tudor furniture, that has a decided vogue at the present time. This is finished in a soft dull brown that is very attractive. USEFUL PIECE OF FURNITURE Ottoman Can Be Made of Excellent Service in a Surprising Variety of Ways. These round humpty ottomans are very useful in a sitting room; they can be, of course, made small for a footstool or in larger size for a seat. The first thing to do is to make a round, thick cushion the size decided on; it must be very tightly stuffed so that it is quite firm; and clean pieces of rag might be cut up into small pieces for stuffing the lower part, then towards the top vegetable down or woolen flocks should be used. Cretone or furniture brocade may be used for covering; for the lower part the sides half way from middle to bottom should be covered; stretch it as tightly as possible and sew it at the top first; then turn lower edge under the bottom and sew firmly; finish by sewing a circle of lining on to cover all rough edges. The top covering must be cut in a circle large enough to allow for the hemmal frill; stretch it over the top Ottoman for the Floor. and fix it by pins; get it as tight and smooth as possible, and arrange the fullness evenly for frill; stitch it round, then cover the stitches with thick furniture cord; pull this very tight and tie in a loopy bow at the side. Handkerchief Bureau Scarf Take three men's linen handkerchiefs with one's initials, sew insertion between each one and all around, and then the same with edging all around, fulling at the corners. A certain girl made quite a few of the bureau scarfs for gifts, which were certainly liked, as they are so different from those one can buy. For Young Girls.

Gregory, THE KANSAS CITY UN, SATA JANUARY ert farmersflave [= Town Clubhouse | ™ by derle Davis ===" | It is a place of comfort and conven- ear ience for country people who do e their trading at Seymour, Indiana: : Peto Similar enterprise would benefit ||)mosmim any community in the nation OW It's“a city clubhouse for farmers! When they come to town to trade they may go to a well-appointed building to meet their friends, wash up, have lunch, write letters, enjoy telephone service and lounge around if they wish. And their wives may, besides having these privileges, lenve the children in the care of a com- petent nurse white shopping or calle ing upon friends. ‘Quite & sensible lonmoeaded. sect: ern conventence, don't you think? Seymour, a southern Indiana city of about 7,000 population, has a farmers’ club with a membership of more than 1,000. It has been in operation since October, 1914, and Is a thorough success. During 1916 the avernge daily number of visitors to the club was about 150. The existence of the club 1s due—the plain truth must be told—to the public spirit and generosity of two business men of Seymour, and not to any special enterprise on the part of either the farm- ers or the cltizens of the town. The Blish broth- ers own a large flour mill and grain elevators, They are grandchildren of Capt. Meedy W. Shields, founder of Seymour, himself a farmer of energy and vision, whose fortune, it seems, was the nest-egg of the Blish estate, For many years e : 4 : Le erry Try rovirt = ae Bias rt ee rir L fiche PERT a. 4 OT iplomes pee Pc oreeey (ee Be ae eet se gilli! 2/6) S*- : a eer thelr wives have brought grain, fruit, vere tables, butter, egs, and poultry to the town thik Captain Shields started, and have taken home with them in the aggregate, a mighty pile of sup- piles during threescore years, Such a mighty pile, you might say, that the legitimate profits on it have helped to make a vigorous and pretty little city. But until the time that Seymour's leading bust- ness men decided to recognize the value of farmer trade by putting up a clubhouse for the mar- keters, the country people certainly didn't enjoy the hospitality that good steady customers in most lines of commerce may expect nowadays. In fine weather they brought their lunch with them antl ate It In their wagons parked in side streets, and in bad weather they bought ‘crackers and cheese and bologna and munched {t as they stood around the stoves or hot-air registers in the back of the stores where they sold butter aud eggs. ‘That rensn’t so bad for the menfolks, but it was mighty inconvenient for the farm women, especially if they brought the children along to town, and often they did ‘so, Is tt any wonder then that since the Farmers’ Club of Jackson County has been receiving guests the merchants of surrounding towns within a reach of 12 and 15 miles in every: direction are complaining that Seymour is getting the best of the country trade? Especially since the most prosperous farmers, and therefore the most profitable customers, own motorcars and can go fairly long distances over the well-piked roads? ‘The Farmers’ club is good to look at. It is just as handsome in the face as the public + brary and the government building, and better looking than the city hall and the newest raflway station at Seymour. You step into a paneled ves- tibule from the street when you enter the club. ‘The vestibule gives tnto a large lounging room. Flanking the lounging room are two nurseries, tollet rooms, a lunchroom and kitchenette. If you are a farmer who enjoys silding down to the small of his back in a huge leather chair and toasting his shins before a great fireplace; who likes breathing space and dark oak paneling and @ pile of magazines and books and some potted plants; who thinks it makes life more worth living if he can meet people of his own kind for a chat now and then, you would ride many miles to Seymour for half or three-quarters of an hour of loafing tn that lounging room. if you are a farmer's wife who knows the @rudgery of dragging small children around for fours from store to store; who knows what It is}to seek in vain for a place of decent privacy whe fretful toddlers can be cared for, weary feet ‘and an aching back relieved with @ brief rest on a lounge; who appreciates a place wh pe iaseees wx be reicoans bn Polat Tare t ‘ts at hand, where a crib waits to wel- come.

Well, surely nobody is in a position really to ap- nreclate this convenience more than the farm Deo- ple. There is a matron in constant attendance. ‘The club has been incorporated under the laws of the state and the organization 1s self-perpetuat- tg. The trustees charged with the niaagement of the club are the presidents of the three fending banks of Seymour. Whoever happens to be pres- {dent of either of these banks becomes one of the trustees. The treasurer of the club 1s chosen frou among the three cashlers| of these. ume banks, preference being given to the cashier of the bank having the largest surplus fund and undi- Vided profits at the last preceding report for the year. ‘There are no fees or costs attached to club membership, Any legal voter in the county who is engaged in farming or who derives his sup- port wholly or partly from the farm Is eligible to membership. Anyone thus qualified may apply for membership privileges at elther of the trustee banks. All one need do ts to take enough interest to ask for privileges; then he and his family may partlelpate Inthe club, Because It was an untried experiment—some- ‘thing that hadn't been done before, and all that— the business men of Seymour probably wouldn't have put up the money for establishing the club and maintaining it perpetually if the matter, had been proposed to them, Now, if they were asked to reimburse the donors fully and make provisions for maintenance, they'd jointly jump at the prop- osition—simply as a piece of first-class civic in- vestment; what you might call a trade magnet. ‘They know that it is drawing new farmer trade ‘steadily, and reaching out farther and farther to- ward rival markets as roads are improved and the price of those handy little buzz-wagons comes down, ‘The secretary of the Seymour Commercial club will tell you—for promoters have to put a squirt of the poetic and a lberal pinch of sentiment into business talk—that the Farmers’ club is “strik- ingly prorressive because It is a concrete expres. sion of the ideal relationship which should exist between every town and the farming community adjacent.” .

So besides making It easy for the rural neighbor to enjoy himself while trading there, Seymour ts gather- ing to Itself a stack of advertising valuable be- yond computation. What has been done In Seymour can be done fo any other agricultural community in the United States. It Isn't necgssary that the club should be a memorial to anybody; nor that it should be a monument to the generosity and pub- He spirit of one or two men; nor that {t should be housed in # speclmen of classic architecture. Four or six rooms would serve the purpose nicely, if converted properly to club uses, ‘These rooms taight be found in @ detached residence or on the second or third floor of a business block. ‘The expenses might be prorated among the business men, and the farmers themselves might pay a modest initiation fee and. nominal dues, Where there's a will there's a way—as the fellow said. ‘Anyhow, it sounds pretty peppy and up-to-date, doesn't It, to overhear one farmer say to his neighbor on a Saturday morning In town: “Well, Ed, let's run over to the club and have a talk.”? REMARKABLE TREE SURGICAL OPERATION. Edward Fontaine, a tree surgeon of Charlottes- ville, Va., bas, according to Inland Farmer, com- pleted the greatest tree surgical operation ever at- tempted anywhere, and this hus been done for Mr. John Armstrong Chaloner of Merrie Mills, ‘The tree is red oak and Js possibly three hundred years old. It is 24 feet in circumference, two feet above the ground, with a diameter of eight feet, four Inches In its widest part. ‘The cement filling was carried up the tree 33 feet from the surface and a cement leg or root was tmbedded five feet into the ground to support the tree in heavy winds. ‘The material used was six wagonlonds of sand, 12 loads of fiehl stone, 28 bags of cement, 14 tron straps to re-enforce the conerete, 44 eyebolts and a roll of galvanized wire, So far the operation has been successful. A citizen of Columbus, O., has appeared on the streets lately with an outfit for seeing the time without removing his watch from his pocket, Great surprise was at first created by what was con- sidered extreme singularity of comfort, and it took a good deal of expluining on his part to restore to himself public confidence. It seems, however, that the device is perfectly practicable, as it has been accepted by the patent office. Notwithstanding, most people will cling to thé idea that a man who is too lazy to take out his watch to see the time deserves on general principles to be shot and it Is very unlikely that the new invention will worm its way into popular favor.—Exchange. at the Canadian sports day held recently at Grass- Bee eee ate: Rens proves theme 80 in icratt <oerlaale recite of ie tek an ot ‘set vp millinery 4a Canadian towns, equal to any brench of the fe- mous Maison Lewis of New York, London and Paris.—Toronto Globe, Private William O'Connor, on the border with the ‘Washington (D. @) ‘militia, at mess ate 90 onlons by ne tual count.

Looked at in this way, town planning is merely common sense, prudence, such as every iam who wishes to continue solvent must employ in his own daily work. For Instance, extensions are being made to the ear route. Is it not better to have « thoroughgoing town-plan- ning scheme prepared so far as it re- lates to the provision of ear route fa- cilities before making this one small addition, so that we may be sure that, as things develop, this addition may bo made in the right place to fall in with larger schemes to be developed here- after? Or again, if we are building a fire engine station, is It not better to have the city parceled out into prop- erly balanced fire control districts, with every existing and future fire engine station shown in its proper relation te the central headquarters, and in rela- tionship to new roads which must some day materialize, but which are at present unmade, so that we be sure that we are placing it just at the point where the engine will most easily reach every part of the district it 1 to servel-Exchatec.

Jan. 1—Governor Capper's economy commission will report a drastic bill to the 1917 legislature curtailing state expenses. Among the many recommendations is one abolishing the state colored school here and the Western University at Quindaro. The latter school has been generously provided for in past, receiving annual appropriations running into the thousands. It was the special hobby of the late Bishop Abram Grant, and he had the school generously provided for when Wr. William T. Vernon was president. Dr H. T. Kealing, former editor of, the A. M. E. Review, is the present head of the school. The school, which was established by the African Methodist Episcopal church, will be greatly crippled should the funds from the state be withdrawn. The students are at liberty to attend the State University. DIVORCES IN KANSAS CITY During 1916, 1,500 Decrees Were Granted Mismatched Couples There—Proctor Suggests Remedy. Divorces granted in Kansas City in 1916 numbered 1,500. The marriage licenses numbered 4,000. But it does not follow that one of every third or fourth marriage was a failure. Of fifty-six cases recently investigated by a divorce proctor only 10 per cent of the principals were married in Kansas City. Kansas City, as Judge Southern says, is another Reno. Its record for the year is probably unequaled anywhere in the world. In spite of the 1,500 divorces last year the consensus of opinion among divorce experts in Kansas City is not that the solution of the problem lies in the divorce court. Prevention rather than cure is the thing, they say. Uniformity in divorce laws is sought by the National Bar Association, but the Kansas City investigators would go further than this. "The United States takes over bankruptcy and citizenship matters," said one of the divorce proctors recently. "Marriage is far more vital to the welfare of the nation, yet it is left to the states to handle as they will. The government should supervise all marriages. I do not mean that it require all applicants to be perfectly suited to each other, eugenically and otherwise, but it should require a period of waiting after the intention to marry is announced. People would have time to think it over and the divorce mill would be practically put out of business. "A bad marriage is a bad marriage and it can't be made otherwise by law and courts. The thing to do is to head off these bad marriages." Aged Moberly Minister Dead. The Rev. T. G. Pole, 78 years old, died at Moberly the other night. He entered the ministry in 1868 at Highland, Kan.
