NEW Business Methods The Most Successful Under in This City Has Reac Heights by Courtesy, C Strict Application Methods to Tr WATKINS BROTHERS A SYNC BUSINESS CONFIDENCE IN Business Methods Bring Success The Most Successful Undertaking Establishment in This City Has Reached Its Enviable Heights by Courtesy, Competency and Strict Application of Business Methods to Transactions WATKINS BROTHERS A SYNONYM OF HONOR AND BUSINESS CONFIDENCE IN THIS COMMUNITY. THERON B. WATKINS. That business methods and absolutely fair dealing brings unqualified success to those who pursue this course is daily and amply evidenced in the remarkable business that has been built up in this city by the famous Watkins Bros., Undertaking and Embalming Establishment, located at 1729 Lydia Avenue where they have been in business since the spring of 1908. That this firm is progressive and up-to-the-minute in their equipment, service and business methods goes without saying and they are enabled to keep in front in their particular line of business by rendering that kind of acceptable service which both pleases and satisfies their patrons and by also keeping a high class, immaculate equipment that cannot be surpassed by any other establishment in the West. Only recently they have purchased an elegant $3,000.00 motor hearse which is unquestionably the most beautiful car of its kind in Kansas City. This firm has handled more than three thousand cases during the years they have been, in service and have Given Entire and Complete Satifaction in Every Case. One of the reasons of their success is, that they permit on the part of their employees no deception, no misrepresentation, but all their patrons are given the same courteous attention and consideration and They Have One Price to Everybody. Since the death of Mr. John T. Watkins the Senior member of the firm, his interest has been managed by his charming and business like widow who makes friends of all with whom she comes in contact while Mr. Theron B. Watkins has become the head and directing force of this popular firm. Their success in handling funerals has been attained by careful study and preparation beforehand of LYNCH LAW IN THE UNITED STATES. Americans hold up their hands in holy horror at German frightfulness, and are justified in their abhorrence. But we have an American frightfulness which makes America appear a hypocrite. I mean our national sin of lynching. This thing is the disgrace of the American people. It does not exist among other civilized nations in any such degree, except as Russia persecutes the Jews and Turkey the Syrians, Greeks and Armenians, and it in some degree lowers us to the level of those countries. Neither England, France nor even Italy is stained with this rape of the law as is America. Every man, every newspaper and every organization that observes silence when Negroes or alleged German sympathizers are lynched becomes to that extent a conniver at the crime. Nothing done in Belgium by Germany or by Turkey in Armenia exceeds our treatment of the Negro in its iniquitous shamelessness. The United States can not afford to let it continue. We sow seeds of hate in Every Funeral they Serve with the consequent result that everything moves with clock-like precision, and without embarassing confusion, at all of the funerals of which they have charge. They have associated in their business an intelligent, competent and courteous lot of employees who always strive to give the best possible service and take pardonable pride in upholding the splendid reputation established by this leading firm. Mr. T. B. Watkins is a member of many fraternal Organizations, being Past Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, a position he filled with signal brilliance; a Knight of Pythias; a U. B. of F., and a Master Mason. He was licensed after careful examination by the State Boards to practice his profession in both Missouri and Kansas and is a graduate from the famous Cincinnati, Ohio, College of Embalming which has the reputation for having sent out the most successful Embalmers in America. This school keeps all their graduates posted on the latest and most successful methods of Embalming and preserving bodies and Mr. T. B. Watkins has made a most enviable reputation both as an Embalmer and Funeral Director and it is a common saying in this city that "A funeral conducted by Watkins is always conducted right." And relatives and friends are relieved of all worry and possible embarassment. Their motto that appeals to every man or woman is "Service that Serves" and they live up to it in every particular. Visit their establishment, observe the business methods employed, talk with their intelligent and courteous employees as well as their capable lady assistant and you will be satisfied that the reasons for their phenomenal success have been epitomized herein. 12,000,000 American citizens who happen to have black blood, and we may yet reap a harvest of dragons' teeth. America cannot make the world safe for democracy until it first makes democracy safe for its Negro citizens. —Spokesman-Review, Spokane, Wash. Monday, April 15. NOTE OF APPRECIATION. Through the columns of the Kansas City Sun I want to express my appreciation to those who worked so faithfully in connection with the Liberty Bond campaign. Equal appreciation is due the 3,500 Colored men and women who subscribed for the $250,000 worth of Bonds. Nothing has given me more satisfaction than the response which my people have given to this patriotic call. Again I want to thank the workers and the subscribers.

"Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitation: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes"; Isa. 54:2. The words of this prophecy has been literally fulfilled through the two men named in the title of this article. It seemed to have been the chief object of these two men since a Divine Providence threw them together as Bishop and Presiding Elder to do work for God. It should be said of Dr. Gilbert that he has been a tireless worker for his church for a number of years, and signal success has been his as pastor and P. E. He has been a potent factor in the establishment of Ebenezer, Kansas City, Mo.; St. James, St. Louis, and Way- [Image of a man in a suit with a tie, facing slightly to the right]. man of the same city. Saying nothing of the many other churches of the two Conferences which he has pastored with credit to himself and the connection. But the work done in Kansas City, especially at this time, is the most pronounced effort of his life. The Enlargement Proper. On Sunday, April 7th, Dr. A. A. Gilbert, P. E., with Drs. William H.

The Negroes of Kansas City, by their subscriptions of more than one-fourth million dollars in bonds of the Third Liberty Loan have displayed a degree of patriotism and loyalty unequalled by any other people in America. Thirty-five hundred persons took these securities averaging over seventy-one dollars each, which J. C. Nichols, vice-chairman of the City Liberty Loan Committee declares is a far better percentage than the whites attained even though their subscriptions were larger. J. W. Perry, chairman of the central committee said at the Jollification Meeting that the Negroes are entitled to be classed among the most patriotic citizens. In a speech before over fifteen thousand people at Convention Hall Tuesday night J. C. Nichols paid the race a high tribute when he remarked that "the Negroes of Kansas City have made a record of which the race has a right to be justly proud." Their subscriptions Osborne of Ebenezer, F. D. Wells of Bethel, R. H. Everett of the M. E. Church, J. H. Goodin of Centropolis WH. McCommack of St. Luke, Evangelist Huff, the writer and J. A. Chandley, the new pastor, who was kept in the background until the psychological moment, and other ministers. It becomes us to say that many of the influential members of the congregation of which the men named here pastors were there and gave their moral as well as their financial support to this work. We wish it understood that it was through the uniting efforts of Dr. Gilbert that this splendid brick building with stained glass windows, wired and equipped with furnace; auditorium and lecture room in fairly good condition, was secured and turned over to the connection.

Only a Negro knows what that real sacrifice means both spiritually and financially. The following representative Negroes composed the Negro Third Liberty Loan Committee: Prof. J. R. E. Lee, chairman.

BROOKS, Pastor St. Paul, 200 E. Lexington St., Independence, Mo Dr. Howard Smith took the flying squadron about the city, while Atty. Hueston, Mr. Crews and Prof. Lee were good sentiment-makers through a series of spirited talks at various Negro meetings. Dr. Walker, whose team won first place sacrificed his practice for the success of his team. Mr. S. R. Hopkins left his managerial desk at the Square Deal Oil and Gas Co., and made a record second only to Dr. Walker's. Mr. J. W. Golden brought in the largest single subscription as well as the largest total for any single solicitor. It was a glorious, whirlwind campaign in which the Negroe Liberty Soldiers carried their race "over the top". There were several 100% concerns where only Negroes work, among which the Hotel Baltimore, Hotel Edward, Hotel Jefferson, the Douglass school, the Attucks school, the Wendell Phillips School, and the Kansas City Waste Paper Co. A BIG DEAL The Successful and Hustling William Jackson Realty Co., Handles the Biggest Cash Proposition Ever Consummated By the Race In This City. Mr. Thomas Morehead the Purchaser The largest cash real estate deal ever handled by a Colored realty company in this city was successfully negotiated by the intrepid and hustling Roscoe Williams of the Williams Jackson Realty Co., 1704 East Twelfth street, this week. Mr. Williams, after a few days' negotiation, sold to Mr. Thomas More head, a young man reared and educated in this city, the property at 1604 and 1606 East Twelfth street, which is a handsome brick, two stories, with basement, and all modern equipment for the sum of $10,500 cash. Already Mr. Morehead has leased the upper floors at a handsome rental and will occupy one of the lower floors himself while the other is for rent. Mr. Williams says that Morehead not only rendered the white owners of the property speechless with astonishment but surprised him as well that when the final settlement took place instead of giving a draft or check, he reached down in his overcoat pocket and pulled off a sack from whence he coolly proceeded to count $10,500 in currency. The Williams-Jackson Realty Company has handled some splendid deals recently having negotiated the lease for the magnificent property at 12th and Michigan occupied by Dr. J. W. Hurse, the lease, also for a motion picture company, to open shortly on 12th street, as well as a number of other high class properties. If you are interested in buying or selling a home; if you want to borrow money, secure employment, or lease a piece of property, you can find no more satisfactory agent through which to consummate these desires than the Williams-Jackson Realty Company, of which Mr. Roscoe Williams is president, Mr. J. G. Ashcraft secretary and Mr. W. M. Jackson, treasurer. Their offices, at 1704 East 12th street, are always open and they can be reached over either phone by calling East 1415 MAJOR JAS. E. WALKER DIES IN NEW MEXICO. Washington, D. C., April 10.—Word has just been received of the death of Major James E. Walker, of the First Separate Battalion, National Guard, at Fort Bryant, New Mexico, and that the body is on its way to this city. The news came as a shock to his many friends here. For many years he was Supervising Principal of the 11th Division of the District Public schools, and won marked distinction while in command of the National Guard in Mexico during 1916. Rev. John Goins, state missionary of the aBptist Denomination, and for many years pastor at Jefferson City and editor of The Messenger, has leased the property at 2609 Highland avenue, and will make this city his future home. Mrs. Goins is the Grand Matron of the Heroines of Jericho of this state. They are both very popular and will prove a valuable addition to the progressive Colored population of this city. We welcome them. Mr. Fred O. Ewing of 2112 W. Prospect Ave., spent Sunday at Excelsior Springs, Mo. By Chas, A. Starks (A short story in two parts, treating the causes which lead to vice conditions and the "safe guards which preserve and save our girls from such a fate.) I saw two maidens, both brown and fair, going to and fro, up and down the haunts of mankind. One I followed, just to see, just to learn the ways of life. Her name was Mary. Sweet she was and ever dutiful. One of those creatures which the world accepts too complacently instead of bowing down in worship at such a thing so rare. She was beautiful, simple, pure and with no guile. To pass her was to feel a radiance such as must be the atmosphere of Heaven. And so I watched Mary in her home and abroad. It seemed a delight to her when she was permitted reluctantly by a fond and ever-thoughtful mother to "help" with the household work. She moved in the Home Circle sweetly and gracefully and above all, sensibly. Parental eyes gloated over the happy development of girlhood and seemed satisfied. Did she desire to "go out," she was not averse to the company of the Father, the Mother or the big brother, each was a delight to her. The filial bonds bound her strongly, the fount of Home love sprung gushingly in her soul and she grew and grew till the advance lights of womanhood twinkled in the distance. One day, Mother took daughter to counsel. Calmly, instinctively, lovingly she told her of waiting responsibilities, new hopes, new desires, and the daughter understood. Later on, this simple, trusting obedient child found her mate. Her womanhood was now supreme, her beauty matured without one untoward ripple. As the small stream, rising out of the serene mountain, flows beautifully on in its natural course, reaching gloriously, through meadows and fields until it disembogues into a mightier life of waters, thus finding its true destiny—so the young wife reached that noble maturity in her own hearth. Added happiness came when the prattle of small voices was heard about. (These Blessed Little Ones.) Heaven seemed to smile. The world looked on and approved. QUIT HALF MINUTE TO NOON. Negro Clerk Prevented Jaudon From "Firing" Him Second Time. George W. K. Love, a Negro, who was a clerk in the treasurer's office during the administration of Harry Barker, furnished the most striking bit of humor associated with yesterday's transfer of the city hall to the Democrats. Love wrote out his resignation to take effect at 11:59 $ \frac{1}{2} $ a.m. The whistle was blowing for noon Jaudon walked into the treasurer's of fice. Love was on his way out. "I beat you to it. My resignation is on the desk," he said to Jaudon. Six years ago when Jaudon was elected treasurer Love was a clerk in the office. Jaudon fired him at that time.—Tuesday Journal. REV. A. A.

COURT MARTIAL FOR DRAWING COLOR LINE. Captain From Atlanta Objects to Embarrassment and Humiliation of His Command If Aligned With Colored Troops. RELIEVED BY COLONEL SHAW. Such a Spirit Cannot Be Countenanced Government Without Jeopardizing Success of the American Army. Washington], D. C.-Captain E. C. Rowan of Atlanta, who commands the Twenty-third Company of the 162d Depot Brigade, National Army, at Camp Pike, Ark., which recently received 3,000 Colored selectives, is under arrest at that camp awaiting trial by court-martial for refusal to obey orders. Colonel F. B. Shaw, the commander of the regiment of which Captain Rowan's company forms a part, gave general orders March 29 that beginning immediately after roll call there would be a formation on the drill grounds to assemble a line of battalions in numerical order from left to right. Regiments composed of both white and Colored companies, according to the orders, were instructed to form with the Colored soldiers on OLN HIGH SCI AT CONVENTION HALL FRIDAY EV'NG, MAY 10 adet Drill and C ysical Training --"The Spirit 500 STUDENTS IN ACTION. 10 Boxes (10 Seats to a box) $5.50 only on full payment.

It is alleged that Captain Rowan took the trouble to reply to this order in writing that if white men and Colored men were placed together in the same regiments as private and compelled to stand retreat and make reports to the same officers, it would, in his opinion, constitute a violation of the spirit of military law; that such a formation would cause much embarrassment and humiliation to his men, and that if the obnoxious order was not descinded, but adhered to, his men would be forced to stand retreat not on the drill grounds but in the company streets instead. Colquel Shaw very properly ordered the arrest of this unpatriotic and unsoldierly product of Atlanta and placed the first lieutenant in command of the company. These incidents leading up to the arrest of Captain Rowan, coming so directly upon the atrocious treatment of Lieutenant Tribbett of our National Army, a Yale graduate, who was arrested for violation of the nefarious Oklahoma Jim Crow law, are sensational and of moment, because while unjust discriminations doubtless have been perpetrated upon our men in the camps, he is the first officer in America who we know is fighting for democracy to draw the color line under the subterfuge that it was necessary in the interest of the pride and morale of his men. Drawing the color line so assiduously practiced in the government departments at Washington has at last found its way into the army and is now squarely put up to our government. The case will probably culminate in the creation of a national issue on the color question. Colored America will watch the verdict of this court-martial with intense interest, since only recently a Colored soldier at Camp Meade was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment at hard labor for refusing to obey an officer, and he was only a private and his refusal was oral, not written.

Colonial Quotations Words of Famous Americans Seem to Show They Foresaw the Liberty Loan. George Washington—"It is an old maxim that the surest way to make a good peace is to be prepared for war." Thomas Jefferson—"Weakness provokes insult and injury, while a condition to punish it often prevents it." Benjamin Franklin—"We must indeed all hang together or, most assuredly, we will all hang separately." James Monroe—"A defenseless position and a distinguished love of peace are the surest invitations to war." Andrew Jackson—"We shall more certainly preserve peace when it is well understood that we are prepared for war." Robert Morris—"The enemy will ask for peace only when we are in a position vigorously to prosecute war." Liberty Loans of Other Days. Robert Morris, Superintendent of Finance in the American Revolution, in a circular to the governors of the states on October 19, 1781, wrote: "It is not by the brilliant successes of war, the splendor of conquest or the shouts of victory that a wise ministry are to be affected. The superi-city of national resources is the sure ground on which to hope for success, and that superior resource, steadily and perseveringly applied, must eventually attain its object. "It is possible that we are near the close of this war, and perhaps we are only in the middle of it. But if the war should continue, we have to blame ourselves; for were these resources called into action which we really possess, the foreign enemies would soon lose all hope and abandon their enterprise." "If we do our duty now the war will soon be brought to a close; if not, it may last for many years, and what will then be its termination it is not in our wisdom to foresee. The enemy will ask for peace only when we are in a condition vigorously to prosecute the war. "It is necessary that we should be in condition to prosecute the war with ease before we can expect to lay down our arms with security, before we can treat of peace honorably, and before we can conclude it with advantage. "Between opposition and submission there is no middle line. The idea of submission is, and ever ought to be, rejected with disdain. Opposition, therefore, becomes a matter of necessity, and that opposition involves expense. "It remains only to provide men and money, and to make that provision as early as possible, for the old adage that 'he who gives early doubles thereby his gift,' can never be more applicable than on the present occasion. For whatever may be the different opinions of different men, all must agree that the only way to secure peace is to be prepared for war." Our Fathers' Influence. As if to conclude the argument that we, of today, should heed the wisdom of our forefathers, that other great American, Abraham Lincoln, said: "I do not mean to say we are bound to follow implicitly in whatever our fathers did. To do so would be to discard all the lights of current experience—to reject all progress, all improvement. What I do say is that if we would supplant the opinions and policy of our fathers in any case, we should do so upon evidence so conclusive, and argument so clear that even their great authority, fairly considered and weighed, cannot stand." With these words of great Americans fresh in the mind who can say that the subscribing, and moreover, the over-subscribing of the Third Liberty Loan is not the most important thing in all America today. BOND VS. BILL. Which would you rather have, a $100 Liberty Bond or a $100 bill? Quick, now! Answer right up. "The $100 bill?" You're wrong again. Sure, you could spend it. But that isn't the point. A bond will save it. A Liberty Bond bears interest; a bill does not. Currency or money in the bank is taxable; the Liberty Bond is subject only to inheritance tax and surplus war profits tax. It escapes state, county and city tax. If you lose a registered $100 Liberty Bond its value is insured to you; while, if you lose a bill, "Good Night!" LIBRARY DR. LON M. TILLMAN. Dr. L. M.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Why not have a playground super- visor for the Parade? Such an offiicial serving during the afternoon and evening would be able to prevent a great deal of the lax conduct practiced by young people both white and Colored. The officials of Allen Chapel met this week and solemnly agreed to adopt a modern financial system to take the place of the antiquated plan in vogue since the Emancipation. Now, let us see how well they live up to the solemn agreement. Negro soldiers at Camp Funston have been officially advised not to do anything that tends to stir up race feeling upon part of the white soldiers. This means, of course, that the Negro soldiers must not let the white soldiers see them holding up their heads and acting like more human beings. In this critical period of "world democracy" it would be a good time to advise poor white people, soldiers and civilians, that they should show a decent amount of respect for the black soldiers in uniform, the best American fighters, the men who will deal the final blow to kaiserism and preserve the dignity of the American flag. THE REDEMPTION. The rendition of the Redemption by the combined choruses of Western University and Allen Chapel was beyond the most sanguine expectation of the evast audience that came to hear these wonderful voices. This musicae had been postponed from Good Friday on account of the lack of car service to Friday April 12, which was much more favorable to the occasion. Prof. Robert G. Jackson deserves much credit for presenting to the public this high class afair. Quoting from the old song, "With Fightings Without and Fears Within," The Saturday News struggles up to the sixth year of it sexistence with this day's issue. In doing so it cannot restrain the observation that the publication of a Negro paper is not strewn with roses. The editor of such a publication is a sort of handy-Andy for the entire race and must posses, aside from the patience of Job the fasting proclivities of Dr. Tanner in order to record his existence. Everybody uses the Negro newspaper with the assumption that it does not cost anything to run it; that the editor eats what old papers that are left and his exchanges living like a Billy goat does off the labels from tomato cans. Yet it is pleasant to know that you have in some measure been useful to your people even though such usefulness is the most expensive avocation in which a Negro may engage.—Phil Brown in Hopkinsville (Ky.)

Our nation is engaged in a war for its very existence. To win this war we must save food, grow great crops of foodstuffs and substitute other foods for those most easily shipped to our associates in this war and our own soldiers in France, thousands of whom are men of our own race. The Food Administration realizes that the Negro people of this nation can be of the utmost help in food conservation and food production. Every Negro man, woman and child can render a definite service by responding to the appeal and instructions of the Food Administration and its representatives. The Negroes have shown themselves loyal and responsive in every national crisis. Their greatest opportunity of the present day, to exercise this loyalty, is to help save and grow food. I am confident that they will respond to the suggestions of the Food Administration and thus prove again their patriotism for the winning of this war. (Signed) Herbert Hoover.

The three young men are to be congratulated upon being the first three Colored men commissioned to the Signal Reserve Corps in the military history of the United States. This opens an entirely new field to the Colored man and marks a great step forward in our fight for equality and justice. First Lieut. Roberts is the son of Frances M. Roberts, owner of the Roberts cafe, Wellington, Kan., for the past 32 years; state treasurer of the K. of P. Grand Lodge and the only member of the Commercial club of Kansas. Lieutenant Roberts was educated at Tuskegee institute and Kansas State Agricultural college. He opened and managed the Criterion theatre, Kansas City, owned by Leon H. Jordan, whose estate he managed. Lieutenant Roberts also established the Afro-Mexican Land Co., Old Mexico and continued in that business up to the outbreak of the Mexican revolution. Just prior to enlisting in the Signal Corps he organized a Colored ambulance corps, composed of forty men from aknsas City, which he enlisted at Camp Funston. Lieutenant Roberts enlisted in the 325th F. S. Bn. at Camp Sherman, December 12th, the first man to enlist, was appointed sergeant February 1 and commissioned first lieutenant S. R. C., April 1. He has the distinction of being the only Colored man commissioned first lieutenant in the S. R. C. Lieutenant Smith is the son of Bishop Charles S. Smith, of Detroit, Mich., former member of the Alabama state legislature, who has spent 45 years in public life in the interest of the race. He is a graduate of Oberlin college and took graduate work at the University of Chicago. He taught for several years at Tuskegee and prior to entering the service was head of the department of English in Lincoln high school, Kansas City, Mo. He enlisted as a private on December 12, the second man to enlist in the 325th F. S. Bn., was appointed sergeant February 1 and was commissioned second lieutenant S. R. C., April 1. Lieutenant Wilson is the son of Butler R. Wilson, a prominent lawyer of Boston, Mass., member of the American Bar Association and Massachusetts Bar Association, secretary of the Boston Branch N. A. A. P. C., and active in legal advisory work in connection with the draft. Lieutenant Wilson is a graduate of Harvard '17, and was attending Harvard la wschool when he entered the army. He spent last summer in the Howard Reserve Officers Training School, in which he received a recommendation for a first lieutenancy, Inf. N. A. He enlisted in the Signal Corps, January 28th, was appointed sergeant February 15th and was commissioned second lieutenant S. R. C., April 1. Lieutenant Wilson has the distinction of being the youngest Colored signal officer in the service. Miceless Books.

Hammond Mr. Hammond was a member of a party of fourteen who went to Europe in October to tour Europe about December of this number who were members of Congress. The party were guests of the British, French, and Belgian Governments much of the time and were escorted up and down the battle lines and were shown many other official courtesies. Mr. Hammond is publisher of the Daily and Triune newspapers in Montreal, Neb., and is filling many public engagement engagements at the present time. Premier Lloyd George never coined a truer epigram than that "We must go on or go under." How the war is "going on" can be understood, even in part, only by those who have been near to it, which privilege I recently had. That it is the most colossal tragedy in human history is proved by a glance at any phase of it. America's part in the struggle is being performed because America cannot avoid it. Autocracy is running amuck and we stand in its road. Either it stalks triumphant over all that we have been taught to hold sacred and dear or we and those with us slay the dragon from whose red jaws blood is dripping. We and it cannot live in the world together. I have seen England, France and Belgium battling with the beast. Now my own country is sending its men into the fray and the effort and the sacrifices that are being made abroad will soon be witnessed here. We may not see here the actual fighting. Let us hope not. But we cannot escape the other appalling features. England is vindicating her traditions and her ideals. She is not fighting for territorial expansion. This is by no means as vital or essential to her as is proof of the binding nature of her compacts. The preservation of Belgian neutrality drew her into the struggle. For this her soldiers are battling and her great navy is steamed up ready for the master stroke; for this her women are working in field and factory and are pouring out their merciful ministrations in innumerable hospitals. France is making the great sacrifice. Paris, which sets the styles for the world, is wearing black as a symbol of sorrow, and the world is adopting it, for all the world is mourning. But Paris and France, though in tears, are not without hope. They are looking eagerly forward to victory, when the invading Huns are driven from French soil and the lost provinces of Alsace and Lorraine will be restored to their rightful owners. The coming of the American troops has given them new courage. With unexamined bravery they are holding the line until the strength of America can be hurled against the foe. The republic still echoes with the wild acclaim given to General Pershing and his expeditionary force. It will be a mighty task for the United States to measure up to French expectations. Riding as I recently did up and down the whole battle front in France and Flanders, I saw much of the suffering France has her locally endured. Her ruined cities and towns, her devastated territory, her dead soldiers, her outraged women, her tortured children, all cry out for vengeance. Every reported atrocity of the German army is true, and very much more. I got much evidence from eye witnesses of unspeakable barbarities. All the waters of the seven seas can never wash away the foul stains. In Belgium, at a reception given by King Albert, I asked Ambassador Brand Whitlock what word could be taken back to the people of America. He said: "It is difficult to put it in a word, but this is to be said of the Germans, they disregard every sentiment of honor and integrity, everything we hold sacred and dear. They have violated with utter impunity every agreement I have ever made with them." The conclusion from this and a flood of other like testimony is that "we must go on or go under." No compromise or settlement with the Hohenzollerns will be more than "a scrap of paper." The United States has one supreme duty at this hour. That is to furnish the money and the man power to defeat the arch enemy of liberty and of the peace of the world. THE WOMAN ON THE DOLLAR.

The work of installing this system, which will involve millions of dollars, will begin in the business section of the capital within a few weeks, probably within the next ten days. It will be in full operation in the business section before the summer is over, according to statements made by the telephone company. Nine out of every ten telephone girls now employed will lose their jobs, is the prediction of T. P.

APRIL 20. 1918 The Housewife and the War (Special Information Service, United States Department of Agriculture.) SPRING GREENS—GOOD TO EAT. GOOD FOR BODY It Takes Half a Bushel of Spinach to Make a Pint of Food, but That Pint Has Valuable Iron and Mineral Salts Which Human Bodies Need. GREENS GOOD TO MAKE RED BLOOD Housewife Should Not Overlook Dandelion, Lamb's-Quarter or Wild Mustard. IRON NEEDED FOR THE BODY Leaves of Various Vegetables Furnish Another Useful Substance Not Yet It is springtime! Don't neglect to give your family some good old-fashioned greens. If you live in a large city, you may have to depend upon the greens which some country woman brings to market or upon spinach or kale, which can usually be bought even in winter. If you live in the country, perhaps your instinct has already told you that the tender green leaves of the dandelion, lamb's-quarter, wild mustard, or whatever variety of greens your locality affords are waiting for someone to gather them for food. People from primitive times to this have manifested a craving for green food as winter passes and springtime approaches. Probably this craving arises from a real need of our bodies for the materials which such foods furnish. Iron Is Essential. What is the particular use of such foods to our bodies? All green leaves contain in combination with the green coloring matter more or less iron. It we are to have rich, red blood we must furnish this iron to our bodies. Dandelion greens are one of the very good sources of iron, containing more than many other sorts of green leaves. If we serve greens with hard-boiled egg for garnish, we have a dish very rich in iron, for the egg yolk contributes its share. Besides the iron and other mineral salts, the leaf vegetables contain a very important substance which the body must have for normal growth and development. This substance, recently discovered and for which a name has not yet been given, is also found in butterfat and some other animal fats, but not in every food. Greens have a place of real worth in the diet and should be used in every household not only in springtime but late into the summer and, when procurable, in the winter also. The tender beet tops, celery tops, radish tops, onion tops, and turnip tops should not be discarded, but served as greens. A little space in the garden devoted to spinach, New Zealand spinach, or French chard will supply the family with summer greens and also should afford some material for canning for use during the winter months. Lettuce leaves, which are sometimes cooked for greens, and spinach, both being mild flavored and containing much water, require no water for cooking in addition to that which clings to the leaves from washing. Other stronger-flavored greens are usually cooked in a small amount of water. Greens should be cooked until tender, but not overcooked. A tiny bit of baking soda added to the water they are cooked in will help the greens to retain their color. In the country where meat is cured at home, it used to be the custom to keep the jowl of the hog for the especial purpose of cooking it with greens in the spring. If the jowl is not at hand, a small piece of salt pork or the rind from smoked bacon gives richness and flavor when cooked with greens. Children should be encouraged to eat greens, as they especially need the iron and the growth-promoting substance which greens furnish. Sometimes they object to the slightly bitter taste which some greens have, but if made into milk soups, the flavor is diluted so that it is not noticeable. Such soups make a desirable lunch or supper dish for the entire family. Cream of Dandelion Soup. 1 quart milk (skim or 2 tablespoonfuls fat whole). 1 teaspoonful salt 2 tablespoonfuls flour 1 cupful dandelion leaves that have been thoroughly cooked. Stir flour into melted fat and mix with cold milk. Put the thoroughly cooked dandelion leaves through a sieve or chop them fine and add to the milk. Stir until thickened. Rice a La South Carolina. No food, regardless of its merits, will appeal to the consumer unless it can be made into an attractive dish. In this country rice usually comes to the table as an uninviting, glutinous mass, except in certain sections of the Southern states, where it is served with each grain distinct and separate, making a very tempting and appetizing dish. A platter heaped with loose, flaky kernels of rice is not only pleasing to the eye, but satisfying to the apetite. It is very probable that the attractive appearance of this dish on the South Carolina table has had much to do with the popularity and usefulness of rice in that state. In seeking information on the art of cooking rice, no mistake is made in referring to South Carolina, where the true value of this cereal has been appreciated for over two centuries. A Carolina housewife would advise the using of one pint of rice, after thorough washing, which she considers important, "to a quart and a pint of water," and a teaspoonful of common salt. "This is to be boiled over a quick fire for ten minutes, stirring occasionally. Then pour off all or nearly all the water; cover the vessel and put over a very slow fire, and allow it to steam for 15 minutes at least, stirring occasionally. The rice will be soft or graine, according to the quantity of water left on it when put to steam, and the length of time allowed in the steaming. The larger the quantity of water and the shorter the steaming, the softer will be the rice." Of course, other methods are used in boiling rice or at least modifications of the recipe given, but it must be remembered that the results should not be a glutinous mass and that success depends upon the proper amount of water used and the length of time in steaming. Protect Food in Lunches The precautions which must be taken to keep lunches clean and safe differ with circumstances. In dusty seasons they should be wrapped particularly well. In hot weather the use of soft, moist foods in which molds and bacteria are most likely to grow rapidly should be avoided. Although chopped meat moistened with a dressing of some kind makes a good sandwich filling, such foods are less desirable in hot weather than slices of meat, peanut butter, or other foods less liable to spoil. USE A LITTLE VINEGAR IN CLEANING GREENS All greens must be picked over carefully and carefully washed. This is sometimes a long process, for a large quantity is required to make a dish of the cooked greens. It takes about a half bushel of spinach to make a little more than a pint when cooked. A half cupful of vinegar in the water in which the greens are allowed to stand before washing is of advantage as it kills the small insects that are sometimes hard to distinguish from the leaves themselves. When buying cooking utensils choose those with round corners, instead of square, whenever possible. They are easier to keep clean. Aprons made of crossbar pattern can be easily mended without the patch showing. HOMETOWN HELPS LOSS DUE TO CARELESSNESS Conflagrations Might Be Greatly Reduced by Preventive Measures That Are Adopted in Time. The report of the fire inspection department of Massachusetts will probably be of interest. The total number of fires in dwellings reported was 3,905. The careless use of matches heads the list of causes by children playing with matches came a close second with 392. There were 324 fires started from unknown causes, and 323 from ignition from lamps or stoves. Overheated stoves and cooking aparatus caused 231 fires, and careless smoking started 315. Defective chimneys were the cause of 207 blazes, and sparks from the same source started 214. Spontaneous combustion was given as the reason for 153 alarms, and the placing of hot ashes in wooden receptacles caused 123. Among the other causes mentioned by the department in its report were: defective heating apparatus 49, electrical causes 63, explosion of lamp, lantern or stove 92, gas jet igniting other material 80, and incendiary 71. Scores of other causes of fire are enumerated, among which 83 are credited to rats and matches. A little care on the part of the owner or tenant would do a great deal toward eliminating a number of these causes of conflagrations and prevent a large proportion of the fire losses that are suffered annually. Look over the various reasons given for the fires and adapt them to your own home. This is a case where an ounce of prevention is worth many pounds of the proverbial cure. BOX SERVES DOUBLE PURPOSE Protects Exposed Roots of Trees and Adds Greatly to the Appearance of the Street. When Marengo avenue in Pasadena, Cal., was extended recently, the grading incidental to the paving left a lot of fine old pepper trees with some of their roots "high and dry." In fact, the exposure of the roots was Box Safeguards Tree and Enhances the Beauty of the Street. Box Safeguards Tree and Enhances the Beauty of the Street. so great that the city forester feared that the trees might be killed or their health seriously impaired. Accordingly, to insure the safety of the trees, concrete boxes were built round the trunks and were then filled with rich earth. Plants with beautiful foliage were afterward set in the boxes.—Popular Science Monthly. Proper Planting of Shade Trees. Proper Planting of Shade Trees. The beauty of a shade tree depends upon its normal and symmetrical growth. In order to insure this, before planting cut off the ends of all broken or mutilated roots; remove all side branches save upon evergreens, so that a straight whiplime stalk alone remains. Dig holes at least two feet in diameter and one foot deep in good soil, and make them four feet across in poor soil. The sides of holes should be perpendicular and the bottom flat. Break up soil in the bottom of the hole to the depth of the length of a spade blade. Place two or three inches of fine top soil, free from sods or other decomposing organic matter, in the bottom of the hole. On top of this place the roots of the tree, spread them as evenly as possible over the bottom of the hole, and cover with two or three inches of fine top soil as before. Tramp firmly with the feet and fill the hole with good earth, leaving the surface loose and a little higher than the surface of the surrounding soil. When the work of planting is completed, the tree should stand about two inches deeper than it stood in the nursery. Well Called "Salt City." Syracuse, N. Y., is called the Salt city, because of its large deposits. Much salt is obtained from vats, called "solar vats," since the salt solution is spread out in them for the sun's rays which thoroughly evaporate the water. Part of the Syracuse deposits are under Onondaga lake in the form of a great basin of salt water, separated from the fresh water above an impervious layer of clay. By boring through this the saline water is pumped up in great quantities. Another method of evaporation employed is by boiling. If boiled down rapidly a fine table salt is made; if more slowly, coarse salt, as large crystals have time to form. Averages. "Things average up in the long run," said the philosopher. "Yes," replied the busy man; "it is going to take a great many shirkless days to make up for these workless days."

DIRECTOR OF PROPAGANDA An American propaganda campaign of world-wide extent, having for its purpose the spreading among the neutrals of the truth about America's role in the war, the informing of the people of Germany of what the United States is fighting for, and lastly, and most important, bolstering up the morale of our allies by a thorough knowledge of what this nation is doing and plans to do to help them, has been undertaken by Arthur Woods, police commissioner of New York under the administration of Mayor John Purroy Mitchel. The propaganda is to counteract the sinister effects of German lies and machinations all over the world, and Mr. Woods will act in harmony with the committee on public information, of which George Creel is chairman. In directing American propaganda outside the United States Mr. Woods will have the opportunity of infusing the american spirit into places where Italian people will be told the true sto do, and what are her purposes, and in the influences of the German propagand to be somewhat more conversant with fact which may be attributed to the con the American spirit into places where it is needed. To the French and the Italian people will be told the true story of what America is doing and will do, and what are her purposes, and in this way his task will be to counteract the influences of the German propaganda. England, as a whole, has been felt to be somewhat more conversant with America's role than the other allies, a fact which may be attributed to the common language of the two people.

JACKLING HAS BIG JOB JACKLING HAS BIG JOB When the government decided that $90,000,000 should be expended for the erection of explosives plants it felt it showed it should be shown where and how the money was spent. So it called for Daniel Cowan Jackling and he'responded from the Pacific coast. Raised in Missouri, Dan Jackling is the very essence of the "show-me" spirit, and when asked by the war department to take charge of the building of these plants he consented. He was born in Appleton county, Missouri, in 1869, where he spent his early school days. He took up the study of metallurgical engineering at the Missouri School of Mines. In 1892 he took a post-graduate course and because of his thorough knowledge of the subject was made assistant professor of chemistry and metallurgy. His first big accomplishment was in 1897, when he was appointed superintendent in charge of the construction work of the immense metallurgical plines in Utah. For three years he these plants, but in 1000 he resigned next three years he figured in various operating capacities in the states of W Mr. Jackling has held more vice probably than any other one man in th work of the immense metallurgical plants of the Consolidated Mercury Gold mines in Utah. For three years he was engaged in building and operating these plants, but in 1900 he resigned to take up general work. During the next three years he figured in various important consultation, construction and operating capacities in the states of Washington, Colorado and Utah. Mr. Jackling has held more vice presidencies and general managerships probably than any other one man in the mining industry. Is there need now, as in the days of peace, for a reform budgetary system of national finance for the United States government? Representative Swagar Sherley of Kentucky says yes. He is the chairman of the house committee on appropriations, one of the big finance experts of congress, and he has been a budget advocate during the greater part of the 16 years he has been a member of the national legislature. "I am not blind to the fact," he said the other day in the course of an interview, "that there must be and should be a wide distinction between the spending policy of the nation in time of peace and its policy in time of war. Under normal conditions we should consider every expenditure with reference to whether it is worth the burden it puts upon the people. In time of war there is only one side to that vital question. In time of war we, must spend to the last of all that the people themselves. much need now as there ever was for g the money of the people for expend- gement.

Manning, rector of Trinity parish in New York, said to be the largest and wealthiest parish in the world, who aligned himself with the forces opposed to the appearance in New York of Dr. Kail Muck, director of the Boston Symphony orchestra, has been an active figure in patriotic movements since the beginning of the war. He was one of the strongest supporters of the allied cause, it is said, between the outbreak of the war and America's entry into it, and was particularly prominent in the movement of protest against the Belgium deportations in the winter of 1916. He was an advocate of conscription long before that measure was adopted. Since last December he has been serving as voluntary chaplain at Camp Upton. His term expired the first week in March, but at the request of Upton officers he is to continue at his post in the cantonment.

Dedicated to our beloved and sainted mother, Mary Elizabeth Wheeler, who departed this life two years ago April 13, 1916. Days come and go; months blend into a year, And scenes may change, and sorrows interlace; Through all the changes, Angel Mother Dear, There's naught to blot the memory of your face. We may forget the rose that blooms each spring, And bathes us in its fragrance, sweet and true; We may forget the birds that twit and sing, But ever, Mother Dear we'll think of you. Two anniversaries, thou hast spent above, 'Mid golden summer flowers, and peace and joy; Where zephyrs breathe but love, undefileth love; Where sin, and pain Thy pleasures can't destroy. Tear-dimmed, our eyes, our hearts seek Thine in love, And linger there for one devine caress; And wonder if from yond bright Throne above, You shower us with smiles superb and blest? Gererude M. B. Wheeler and the family. (Poetized by C. H. Warrick.)
