W. BOYD SUCCUMBs AF TER A LONG ILLNESS. One of Kansas City's Foremost Baptist Ministers and a Preacher of Much Ability. Rev. Grandeson W. Boyd, the beloved pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, 17th and Tracy avenue, departed this life Saturday, October 26 at 7:40 p. m. Rev. Boyd was born March 4, 1872 at Cairo, Ill. He spent his boyhood days in Arkansas. From the public schools of Oceola, Ark., he went to the Arkansas Baptist College at Little Rock, Ark., where he spent three years. He left this college to assume the responsibility of his aged parents and young brothers. The family moved to St. Louis in 1892. It was in the night school at St. Louis where he finished his training. He was or dained in New Hope Baptist Church, and shortly afterwards he became the [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. REV. GRANDESON W. BOYD. pastor of Flower Hill Baptist Church at Bonfilis, Mo. It was during his pastorate at this place that he met Miss Lucy Steward, who later became his wife in 1897. Two boys were born to this union. In 1899 Sister Lucy Boyd departed this life. He then became the pastor of the church from which he was ordained. From this church Rev. Boyd came to Kansas City, Mo., and took up the pastoral work at the Highland Avenue Baptist Church, recently left vacant by the death of Rev. Henry H. Robinson. At this church he pastored twelve and one-half years, during which time he remodeled the basement and built the auditorium. It was during the latter part of this constructive work that Rev. Boyd suffered his first serious illness, which lasted about a year, often becoming very ill. He never regained his health from this serious attack. December 5, 1912, Rev. Boyd was married to Mrs. Ida B. Johnson. In February, 1914, he resigned the pastorate of the Highland Avenue Baptist Church. On March 22,1914, under the leadership of Rev. G. W. Boyd, the Friendship Baptist Church was organized with eleven members. He took the world as he found it, the Holy Ghost for his guide, Jesus Christ as his elder brother, his wife and members by his side. For several months we wandered like a vessel without a rudder, stopping here and there, but thank God, he took on passengers whenever he landed. On the 22nd of July our hearts were made to rejoice when we moved to our present location, 1700 Tracy avenue, with a membership of 120. At this time we hoisted our sail, the work grew numerically and financially, struggling through many ups and downs. He succeeded in building a great church. Az Paul, Rev. Boyd stood as a great pilot on God's vessel, leading it up higher and higher, ever keeping his hand on the throttle. When in mid-ocean he was overtaken by great waves of afflictions, yet through it all he pressed onward. Even though weak, his hand could be seen above the waves, still piloting the Church, looking upward unto God, crying "Oh Lamb of God, I come! I come!" Thus he led us on through the roughest gales over life's tempestuous sea until he fell at his post with five hundred fifty-six members. We shall always love and cherish him in our heart. His memory will ever live. He leaves to mourn his loss a wife, two children, the older son now in France, a corporal in the United States Army, the younger son now a second lieutenant, Infantry, U. S. A.; Adjutant S. A. T. C. Unit, Meharry Medical College; one sister, two brothers, a loyal Church and a host of relatives and friends. The funeral services were held Tuesday at 2 o'clock from the residence, 1513 Park avenue, under the auspices of the Baptist Ministerial Alliance and was attended by many visiting clergymen from out of the city. The following program was rendered with Rev. J. W. Jenkins, master of ceremonies: Song, "Life Is Like a Mountain Railway"—Congregation. Scripture Lesson, 4 Ch. Job—Rev. G. H. Daniels. rPayer and Obituary—Rev. Moses Williams. Condolences— From the Church—By Mrs. Lulu Proctor. From the Sunday School—By Miss Susie Johnson. From the B. Y. P. U.—By Miss Bertha Chilton. Solo—Rev. Mrs. Tevis. Sermon—Rev. H. W. White of Topeka, Kas., a lifelong friend of the pastor. These services were very brief on account of the epidemic restrictions, but formal memorial services will be held at a day to be announced when the influenza ban shall have been lifted. Burial was in Highland Cemetery. "Servant of God, well done, servant of God, will best Rest from thy blest employ; The battle fought, the victory won Enter thy Master's joy." SUSIE JOHNSON, LULU PROCTOR, Committee WE SAY, AMEN Editor of the Kansas City Sun: Editor of the Kansas City Sun: You have some very timely and helpful hints to the less intelligent, but there is one subject you have overlooked—Sunday morning marketing. The constant promenade with baskets bulging with groceries, arms full, two or three chickens swinging pendulum form, "conbless heads," "laceless shoes," "ironless boudoir caps," and just a general unkempt toilet among our people has become an eyesore to the public on the street Sunday morning. The grocery stores are open until a very late hour Saturday night, thereby giving each individual ample time to purchase groceries for over Sunday. I hope, dear editor, you will agree with me and place this within their reach. MRS. WILLIAM ROBINSON. New York, Oct. 31.—Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft issued here today a joint appeal for election of a Republican majority in Congress. The statement was said to be the first ever composed and signed by two former Presidents of the United States. Seated at a table in the Union League Club, they prepared the statement and discussed old times at the capital while it was being typed. COLORED BOY HERO (Extract from a letter published in the Pine Torch of Braxton, Miss., from Roy W. Cleveland (white) of Company A, 29th Engineer, A. E. F., to his mother at Waterloo, Ia.) The colored troops have certainly showed splendidly. Their bands and quartets are great. Everyone should be proud of them in the U. S. Army, for they are sure comers and, believe me, I salute a colored officer with much respect. The first boy to receive a Croix de Guerre in France was a black boy from Alabama, so a Y. M. C. A. man told me. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1918. NHEATLEY - PROVIDENT HOSPITAL FILLING A LONG FELT The Institution Crowded to Its Doors With Patients Desiring First Class Treatment, Coming From Every Section of the Southwest. COLLECTION OF PLEDGES PRO GRESSING NICELY That the Wheatley-Provident Hospital is filling a long felt want in this community is demonstrated by the fact that nearly every bed in this commodious and up-to-date institution has been filled during the past two weeks and physicians from all sections of the Southwest are bringing in patients or notifying the management of their intention to do so in the very near future. Many individuals are working zealously to equip to the minutest detail this splendid institution of our people. During the week learning of the loyal need for more sheeting, Dr. Middleton H. Lambright, one of the loyal and aggressive friends of the institution went out and solicited personally $50 for sheeting which was made up at once by Mrs. Crews and Mrs. Dr. Brown of the Auxiliary No. 1. Several of the organizations also finished the furnishings of their room while the payment of pledges on the part of subscribers during the week has been extremely gratifying. The following have paid their pledges since our last report: $100—Hettinger. Bros. Manufacturing Co. $50—Dr. L. P. Richardson. $25—Judge Casimir J. Welch, Dr. M. G. Brookins, Mr. F. A. Harris, Mrs. Cora McCuinn. $10—Mr. C. H. Harris, Mrs. Dollie Ford. $3—Eugene King. $5—Miss Rosetta B. Green. And a large number of persons have notified the collectors to call November 1st. The ladies of Auxiliary No. 1 are preparing for another sumptuous dinner during the month of November and will serve both chicken and turkey with all the trimmings and guarantee that every friend and patron will receive a full, square meal for their ticket. Watch for the date. GRADUATE NURSES ASSOCIATION RETURN.

Let every loyal American, wh Tuesday and vote for the Repu thus notify Germany that there w ing and that Prussianism must Surrender or a fight to the finish. After having been buffeted about by recalcitrant members of his own political party during all these trying days of war during which trials the Republicans in and out of Congress have patriotically stood by him as the exponents of real Democratic popular liberty President Woodrow Wilson this week formally insulted the friends who have delivered him and the hands that have stayed him in the hour of need. The large, patriotic majority of the American people are no less shocked than surprised to realize that our President has stepped down from disignified statesmanship to the most undignified realm of petty partisanship. Yet such is the case in the appeal which Mr. Wilson has just issued to the country in which he prays that only Democrats be elected to seats in the next Congress. Republicans in Congress have supported the necessary war measures while Democrats fought them. Republicans have rushed to the aid of the President when Democrats have wantonly deserted him. Republicans have loaned money to the Government with positive sacrifice and have sent their sons to die upon foreign battle fields with purely patriotic zeal, yet the President of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief of all our armies not only ignores these services with the rankest ingratitude but further seeks to exclude them further from the honors of participating in the public service. It looks as if he would reduce more than half the population of this country to a condition of vassalage far worse than that against which our armies in Europe are contending. Not long ago President Wilson announced that "Politics is adjourned for the duration of the war" and indicated that he intended to maintain a high, patriotic position as leader of the whole American people, selecting for service men of high attainments and capabilities in public affairs as a matter of strict political economy, but as Colonel Roosevelt says: "If Mr. Wilson had really meant to disregard politics, he would at once have constructed a coalition, nonpartisan Cabinet, calling the best men of the Nation to the highest and most important offices under him, without regard to politics. He did nothing of the kind. In the positions most vital to the conduct of the war, and in the positions now most important in connection with negotiating peace, he retained or appointed men without the slightest fitness for the performance of the tests whose sole recommendation was a supple eagerness to serve Mr. Wilson, personally and to serve Mr. Wilson's party insofar as such serving benefited Mr. Wilson." To the casual observer it has looked all along as if the President has regarded this war as his own private affair. The Democrats in power have been required to simply "rubber stamp" his rhetorical war dicta and the Republicans have simply been used when needed. Negroes have been ignored except in the draft calls and loan drives along with other willing sacrifices. The latter do not expect any consideration from the President whose southern instincts are so strongly pronounced, but it is going too far to interdict the whole Republican party,—more than one-half the American people simply through the most inconsistent partisan bias. The thinking people of the whole world are amazed and it is generally conceded that the "bad break" of the chief executive will merely react in the election of an overwhelming majority of Republicans in the next Congress. The Republican party has always been the party of loyalty. The Democrats were the obstructionists in the Civil War. They were the obstructionists in the Spanish-American War, and they have been the sole obstructionists in the present war. Again quoting that peerless American patriot, Colonel Roosevelt: "We Republicans pledge ourselves to stand by the President so long as he stands by the American people and to part company from him at any point where in our judgment he does not stand by the people. This is the people's government; this is the people's war, and the peace that follows shall be the people's peace." Let every loyal American, white and black, go to the polls next Tuesday and vote for the Republican congressional candidate and thus notify Germany that there will be no more wavering note writing and that Prussianism must prepare itself for Unconditional Surrender or a fight to the finish. the most money. The expenditures were as follows: Furniture, $76.70; pair blankets, $15; one mattress, $15.30; door plate, $4.35; linens, $4.69. Total, $116.04. Judge Spencer has worked hard to secure for the Negroes of this state a Home Guard Regiment and yet hopes to win this opportunity for them. FIRST AID NURSES. Dr. William J.

From Overseas. The Sun had the pleasure of receiving a letter through Mrs. Minnie Higginbotham of 2437 Highland from her brother, Corporal William Jones, in which he says he is getting along nicely and that he is doing his part in helping to win the war. He says he will look for his brother, Ralph, over in the next draft and sends his regards to all his relatives and friends. He also sends the following poem eulogizing the regiment to which he belongs, the 317th Engineers: The Negro Troops—(Engineers) The Negro troops have sailed away Thinking only to join the fray. They've sailed across to do their They've sailed across to do their share And to keep "Old Glory" forever fair. The Negro troops think hard and fast What to do so the Kaiser won't last, But now they have hit the only plan: Do their duty, and fight for "Uncle Sam." Their only thought by night and day Is to bomb the Kaiser and put him away. They want a chance at the "Crown Prince," too; Then the Kaiser will have the "German blues." The Engineers have gone to Sunny France, And now they'll make the Germans dance To the tune of "Dixie" and "My Old Kentucky Home"; Too far from Berlin the Huns have roamed. The Engineer troops will cross the Rhine, Then the Kaiser will toe the line. They'll make him respect "Old Glory," too. That's what the Engineer troops are going to do. CORP. WILLIAM JONES, Co. D, 317th Engrs. Somewhere in France, October 13, 1918. Rev. Richard Davis and Members of Cortenwich Church: Centennial Church: Today is Sunday and it is cool, cloudy and dreary, as it has been raining all through the night. If the weather clears enough we are going to have our services in the grove of the woods that surround us on every side. We have not had a chaplain in our regiment, so I have not heard a sermon for a long time, that is, not since I was at church before I left the states, so I am glad we are going to have a chaplain with us all the time, and I hope he will be a preacher as you were, but personally I do not think that can be. The chaplain is our mail censor, and I hope will soon get some mail from the States, as I want to get a letter from the folks at home, as I have sent more than thirty-five postal cards and letters home since I have been overseas and I have received but one letter, and that was sent to me from mother when I was at Camp Upton but I had left before the letter arrived. So it was forwarded here and I was more than glad to receive some news from home. I enjoyed my trip across the Atlantic and the experience as well. I will say that I was very much pleased with what I saw of England, although it did not seem as the dear old United States, but France is a very open country. The leaves are getting their color and in a few weeks the hillsides will be beautiful. And as I behold them in wondrous color, I think of those lines in the first verse of Whittier's poem "The autumn days have come, the saddest of the year, of wailing winds and naked woods and meadows brown and scar." One of the most beautiful things of France is the music of the church bells, but there are many churches whose bells will never ring again. In the city where I am now, a city which must have been delightful beyond imagination before the war, and only here and there can be found buildings that are intact to permit habitation PRICE, 5c. There is a high bluff rising beyond the city and on it is a grove of sheltering pines that almost hide a very old chapel that has been destroyed by shell fire, but some of the images are still standing. From this hill one may see many wonderful sights, many which the censor will not permit me to relate. There is also another small chapel that was built in the year 1387 and it has also been destroyed by shell fire of the Germans. A few nights ago there was a great bombardment which lighted the whole heavens and made the earth tremble and increased in density until we could not sleep. It lasted through the night. Many of us will never forget that night as we saw the first view of battle of the greatest war that has ever been fought. A tremendous battery of ours not very far away makes our windows shake and rattle as hit by flying stone. The officers treat the men very nice, and are almost like comrades to them, and they urge the men to write home as much as possible; even if they must burn some midnight light. Of course all the cities are dark at night, as the German airplanes may make a slight mistake and drop a bomb, so we just keep everything dark so that he will not make this blunder. You would be surprised to know how soon things become tame. We are all tremendously interested in the sights about us the first few days, but it soon wears off, and now it would take a divisional attack to arouse us to any state of curiosity. Everyone has a gas mask and are worn all the time, and the boys are very proficient in getting them on if it should be necessary to wear them in a gas attack. The French roads are wonderful, despite the fact that they are bearing a tremendous amount of traffic. They are as firm as a rock and have been a great factor in the success of the war thus far, and I am sure they are the paramount means of holding the enemy at bay thus far. There are Americans every way you look, and they are as thick as they are in New York and there is a continuous stream of automobiles and trucks all the day and night. I can talk very little French and do not have time to learn, so I must get along the best way I can, although you do not need to know much, and what little you need to know can be readily learned. I am well and hearty and never before in my life have I felt so healthy, so I am satisfied that the army is very agreeable. Give my love to all the members and say that I extend all the wishes of joy and peace to them always. I am in the midst of a great workshop, but we always find time to praise our Maker. So do not forget to pray for me that I may return home safely and may I ever keep on the right side of the path of life. And as the day grows on, I want to say "Abide with me, fast falls the eventide, the darkness deepens, Lord with me abide." And as the darkness begins to wrap the earth in its folds, I want to utter from my lips the old familiar song: "Lead Kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom. The night is dark, and I am far from home; Leal Thou me on." Yours in grace and fellowship, SERGT. C. R. A. BANKS, Hdqtrs. Co., 805 P. Inf., A. E. F.

C., Oct. 27—Does the American farmer desire a perpetuation of Democratic rule in House and Senate? Unjust discrimination has been practiced against the farmers of the North, Middle West and West by the present Democratic Congress, in favor of southern products. This has been done by the Southern Democratic coterie now in absolute control of House and Senate, and by the Democratic National Administration. A price has been fixed on wheat but not on cotton or rice, both purely southern products. Wheat by act of the Democratic Congress is fixed at $2.10. With no price fixed on wheat it is the general opinion that the grain would bring far more to the farmer than $2.10. The difference in the price of wheat as fixed by a Democratic Congress and a Democratic Administration, and an open market, is the difference in hard cash that the Northern, Mid-Western and Western wheat farmer doesn't get, a total that would amount to hundreds of millions of dollars. Prorated it would be a considerable sum in the pocket of each wheat grower. Prices of cotton and rice are fixed by the law of supply and demand, unhampered by Democratic Congressional action, and consequently the southern rice growers and cotton planters are rapidly becoming wealthy with the enormously increased war time prices for rice and cotton. The Southern Democrats who control Congress have taken good care that the Southern cotton and rice grower shall not have the prices of his products controlled by legislation, but this Southern delegation says what the wheat farmer shall get for his crop, not what it should bring in the world's markets, as in the case of cotton, which prior to the war was sold at 7c per pound, now sells for 32c, regulated by the law of supply and demand, but an arbitrary price that has taken millions out of his pockets. Similarly a price has been fixed on wool. It would be hard to compute the immense sum that the Middle Western and Western wool grower has lost by the arbitrary fixing of the price of his product. Hundreds of millions would not cover his loss. Hardly any wool is produced in the South. A price has been fixed on coal. Most of the coal is mined in the North and Middle West. But no price has been fixed on lumber, another principal product of the Southern states. How long does the wheat farmer, the wool grower, and the coal producer intend to allow Democratic Congressional discrimination in favor of the cotton and rice planters and the lumbermen of the Southern states. The discrimination against every other section of the country in favor of the South is not the only way in which the present Democratic Congress has worked for its favored section. The present Democratic Congress is collecting the bulk of the revenue to carry on the war and the government north of the Mason and Dixon line. The Democrats accomplish this by their control of the Ways and Means and Finance Committees, in which they have the majority memberships and the chairmen. Not only do they collect most of the revenue from the North, Middle West and West but they spend most of this revenue in the "Solid South," an unfair method of distribution of these immense sums. Most of the great government plants for war work, most of the army cantonments, and most of the army aviation fields have been established in the Southern states. Despite the fact that the Northern and Western States have supplied more troops for fighting the war with Germany (a glance at the casualty list of any day will tell the story), and have paid more taxes to support the war than the Southern states, Secretary Baker has located most of the army activities in the South, where army expenditures are pouring a steady stream of gold into the hands of the people of that section. If the people of the United States desire a fair administration of National affairs they must elect a Republican House and Senate November 5. The South is in control of the legislation of the country, and also in control of the Nation in practically all of its administration in the war. Seventy-eight per cent of the Washington employees are from those states where cotton is king. Never in the history of this Republic has the power of determining the national policies been concentrated in the hands of so few men, or so monopolized by a small number of states. Of the fifty-two Democrats in the Senate, thirty represent the "Solid South," and eight others were born in the South, so that in the Senate there are thirty-eight Democrats who are responsive to Southern interests. Of the seventy-five committees in the Senate about one-third practically do not function. Of the twenty-one chairmanships assigned to Republicans all belong to this list. Of the sixty-one House Committees forty-two are important. Every one of the forty-two has a Southern Democrat for chairman. Democrats from North and West, representing thirty-one states, have been allotted only twenty-one chairmanships and these are of a minor character. Northern Democrats representing two-thirds of the states in the Union, and a much greater proportion of population, wealth, industrial, agricultural and business interests, are limited to only one-third of the chairmanships of the House of Representatives. Having "put over" the fake campaign slogan of "He kept us out of war" in 1916, the Democrats, with an effrontery unparalleled in American political history, are attempting to again fcol the people with "Win with Wilson." Meanwhile they are conducting the Government in the interest of the "Solid South." MOVED TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BLOCK.

As a Private Citizen: Judge Spencer's one work and every thought since Congress declared war, has been to help his country to win a complete victory. He organized the Fifth Missouri—the Joffre Regiment—now on the firing line in France, with a committee of four other active Missouri Patriots. He sacrificed his personal business to serve the government as chairman of the District Draft Board of Division One of Eastern Missouri. Since his appointment by President Wilson, July 24, 1917, the board has passed upon thirty thousand appeals. He gave two sons to the army. One of his sons went over the top and was decorated for bravery by the French government. As the next Senator from Missouri: He will continue as in the past his splendid representation of the red-blooded Missouri patriotism. Joseph W. Folk's Record During the War When Congress declared War Folk was chief counsel for the Interstate Commerce Commission, at $10,000 a year. He quit the public service in the midst of war to accept $12,000 a year in private practice as attorney for the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce HABEAS CORPUS FOR RELEASE OF SOLDIERS IN THE HOUSTON RIOT STRAUSS FORTRAIT JUDGE SELDEN P. SPENCER REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY PORO SYSTEM ST. LOUIS, MO. "PORO" COLLEGE COMPANY Department G. The Kansas Defense Society is an organization instituted for the purpose of testing the constitutional rights of the race along civil, political and other lines that may be necessary to bring about justice and sentiment in behalf of the race in this country. This organization was formed because of the conviction and legal lynching of the thirteen soldiers of the 24th Infantry at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, last December, 1917, for participating in a riot at Houston, Texas, in August of the same year. It will be remembered that these soldiers were acting in self defense from the fact that they had been mistreated and assaulted by the police of Houston and it had been reported to them that a mob of white men had threatened to swoop down upon their camp and drive them out. Acting on this information the soldiers prepared themselves, and receiving orders from non-commissioned officers that the mob was descending upon them, they began to fire and at the same time marching upon the town, which action resulted in the death of several persons. There have been three court marials. Sixty-three soldiers were tried in the first, which resulted in the hanging of thirteen without their cases ever being reviewed by President Wilson. Forty others were sent to the Federal prison for life, and the remaining ten were disposed of in various ways. Three or four were sent to military prison, and a few were given jail sentences. A second court martial resulted in the conviction of sixteen, which sentences President Wilson has just approved. This makes a total of nineteen brave Colored soldiers to be executed for participation in the Houston riots.

Given the benefit of I-H modern milling, this fine raw product becomes a super-fine food—I-H Flour—the aristocrat of every grocery. Try it. Ismert-Hincke Milling Co. Kansas City, U.S.A. The evidence shows that this riot at Houston occurred in the night when it was very dark and it was impossible to tell who were taking part. These soldiers were convicted upon circumstantial evidence given by soldiers forced to testify as they did on account of fear or promises made them for their own safety. Under rules of the court martial all evidence and findings must be submitted to the President of the United States, and this was not done in the Miss Groyce L. Moore, who spent last week in Kansas City, purchased a first class dressmaking establishment in that city and will in the future conduct business in K. C. Miss Moore, who is one expert along her line, leaves Saturday.-Tulsa Star. 1 case of these soldiers, but their sentences were approved by the commander of the southern department This being true, these men are being illegally held in the federal prison and should be given their liberty. The Kansas Defense Society, of which Nick Chiles is president, has employed three Colored attorneys to bring habeas corpus proceedings in the United States district court, and if necessary will carry this case to the highest court in the land. Attorney T. W. Bell, one of the leading lawyers of Kansas, located at Leavenworth; E. T. Barbour of El Reno, Okla., and Elisha Scott, a young attorney of Topeka, have been employed, and the case, No. 1933, was filed at Topeka, Kansas, in the United States District Court Friday, October 4, 1918. We are now asking the public and friends of the race to contribute as much as they can afford to assist us to properly prosecute this case. We have consulted several lawyers of prominence, and they all agree that this case can be won, and the Kansas Defense Society, believing this to be true, has employed these attorneys. Editor's Note:—The Sun has looked carefully into this proposition as suggested by the Kansas Defense Society and believes that it is the duty of the Colored people of this country to use every honorable and lawful means to secure for these unfortunate soldiers every consideration to which they are entitled. We have been requested by Mr. Nick Chiles, president of the organization, to solicit funds to be used in meeting the expense of these attorneys in their habeas corpus proceedings and we hereby announce that we will gladly receive and forward to the proper officers of this society any funds contributed by Colored or white citizens in this worthy cause and as an evidence of good faith the Editor of The Sun, Nelson C. Crews, starts the Kansas City list of contributors with a subscription of ten dollars and we urge every church of every denomination, large and small, every fraternal society and every Negro to contribute to this worthy cause. WHO WILL BE THE FIRST? As contributions are received, a standing list will be published weekly in the columns of this paper. Miss Lillian Flemmings and sister Mrs. R. Williams, of Kansas City, Mo. are in the city spending the winter with their aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Atchson of 1151 East Adams street.-Los Angeles Eagle. It is a favorite argument of Southern Democrats, in excusing this discrimination, that the splendid climate of the Southern states accounts for the favoritism shown that section of the country. Unfortunately for this argument, the facts do not sustain it. For example, California's climate is quite as noted for its mildness in winter as is the climate of Alabama. California's climate is far more healthful than Alabama's, the latter being full of malaria. Judge Spencer has been a consistent, firm friend of the colored people. Three conspicuous instances may be mentioned as illustrations: First. The fact that he has constantly assisted in the work of the colored Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and both by personal contributions of money, time and effort has made possible the erection of the magnificent colored Y. M. C. A. building in St. Louis at a cost of approximately $200,000.00. Second. The fact that without expense, or charge, he successfully fought in the Federal Court the vicious segregation ordinance enacted by the City of St. Louis, and, as a result of the suit, the ordinance was declared unconstitutional. Third. The fact that he has uniformly favored and worked for colored representation in the Home Guard of Missouri. Judge Spencer is a thorough American; has performed remarkable war work at great personal sacrifice; is splendidly equipped, both by temperament and training to perform the duties of United States Senator. REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE, By W. L. COLE, Chm. MILLIONS FOR SOUTH. (Continued from Page 1.) recently been increased by over $105, 000,000, making a total of approximately $600,000,000 that has been or is being spent by the United States on camps, cantonments and military plants in the South. A cantonment was located at Louisville, Ky., at an initial cost of $8,375,279. This cantonment was located there in spite of the recommendation of two military commissions to the contrary. Army authorities recommended the use of Fort Benjamin Harrison at Indianapolis, where the government already owned ample ground for a cantonment and where there was in existence quarters large enough to accommodate a vast number of troops. Indianapolis was also admirably adapted for the site of a cantonment by reason of its railroad facilities and a belt line. Louisville is the home district of Representative Sherley, Democratic chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Louisville got the $8,375,279 cantonment and Indianapolis, the choice of the military experts, got a $582,000 repair depot. On October 4, last, it was announced that Louisville was to get another cantonment, with an initial appropriation of $20,000,000. This 'gives Representative Sherley two cantonments in his district involving the expenditure of nearly $30,000,000 of the government's money. What Rest of Nation Got.

California subscribed $358,194,200 to the Second and Third Liberty Loans, or 24 times what the government spent on camps in California. Alabama subscribed only $38,795,350 to those two loans, or less than two-thirds as much as the government had spent in that state.

These plums were generously passed around so that Waco, Houston, Fort Worth, Dallas, San Antonio and Wichita Falls each got a liberal bite. This is more than the total appropriation for cantonments and other military plans in the states of Massachusetts, Nebraska, Iowa, Indiana and Kansas. It is more than was appropriated for army camps in the two states of Illinois and New York.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. EDITORIALS Remember the boys "over there." If you do not advertise how will anyone other than your immediate friends know you are in business? Call us and talk it over. Those optimistic colored folks who insist that race prejudice is often a blessing are pointing with pride to the fact that the influenza has almost completely ignored the Negro. Under the new government regulations we are not permitted to carry delinquent subscribers upon our books, so you who are behind and have failed to pay up will know why you do not get your paper. There are over two hundred thousand Negro soldiers now upon French soil fighting in the cause of universal liberty but we shall not learn much of their valorous deeds through the Uncle Remus American press. School will probably reopen next week, and we hope that every colored child will be sent back to his work. Educate your children at any sacrifice. Teach them that the only real success in life consists in staying on the job. True, as State Superintendent Lamin says, "The world will never be safe for an ignorant democracy," and this truth should be most apparent among the illiterate poor white barbarians of Missouri and other Southern prejudiced, mob-ruled states. Since the President's open letter praying for a cessation of lynch law in the United States there have been no more white people mobbed, but the high carnival against black citizens has gone on with very little abatement; another one of those peculiar anomalies of "world democracy." We nominate now without reservation, fully satisfied that he possesses every qualification, Emmett J. Scott as one of the representatives of America to sit at the peace table of the Allied Nations to represent the interests of the most loyal element in our cosmopolitan population. A new book entitled "Songs of My People," by Prof. Charles Bertram Johnson, principal of the colored school at Kirksville, Mo., is attracting much attention and is having a remarkable sale. Paul Lawrence Dunbar, shortly before his death, wrote Mr. Johnson, as follows: "Today I had the pleasure of reading two of your poems. I assure it was a REAL pleasure. Go to it, and stick to it. You have the stuff in you." The book is being published by the Cornhill Company, Boston, and sells at $1 per volume. PUBLISHING THE NAMES. On the front page of this paper this week appears the announcement from the Wheatley-Provident Hospital Board that after a certain period of time they intend to publish the names of those persons who made pledges to the Hospital fund and who have until this time refused to pay. The Sun heartily agrees with the Hospital Board in this matter and believes that the public has a right to know the names of that class of people who are always clamoring to get in the line-fight and yet whose word is not worth a dime when it comes to keeping their obligations. Certainly publish them, and then let them hear what the people think of them. Mrs. Myrtle F. Cook, secretary of the Colored Childrens' Improvement Association, recently wrote to Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the Denver Juvenile Court complimenting him upon the brilliant and patriotic address he delivered in this city a few days ago, but felt that in the relation of a dialect story attributed to one of our race "over there" he unintentionally did the race an injustice. In reply Judge Lindsey said: "No one can overestimate the magnificent heroism and devotion of our black boys "over there." And I do not think that the quaint and delightful humor that they have furnished will detract one whit from the real appreciation of what they are doing and their genuine work as citizens in every way equaled to rank with their white brothers with whom they are devotedly pouring out their lives for the cause of democracy and justice. I hold for them an abiding and deep affection and I really enjoy their delicious humor and good nature under the most trying circumstances."

Tuskegee, Ala., Oct. 19.—The Armstrong-Slater Memorial Trades Building of the Tuskegee Institute was destroyed by fire on Monday night, October 14th. The fire was the largest in the history of the Institute, and represented a loss of $100,000. The building was constructed of brick made in the Institute's brick yard and was completed in 1898. In its greatest dimensions, it was 283 by 215 feet and was arranged about the four sides of a central court, with cross wings at each corner. The front and side wings were two stories high. Shops for teaching the following trades were located in this building: Carpentry, wood-furning, printing, tailoring black-smithing, harness-making, carriage - trimming, wheelwrighting plumbing, electrical engineering, tining, painting, shoe-making, machine shop practice, and architectural and mechanical drawing. The work of re-organizing the trade instruction at the Institute is going forward, and the regular classes re THE BROADWAY M. M. B. JUDGE MILES BULGER.

TALES FROM BIG CITIES Finds a Five Hundred Dollar Ring in a Giant Codfish SAN FRANCISCO—Seafaring men, friends of H. C. Dally, a fisherman who has just returned from Bering sea, contend along the waterfront here that Dally is entitled to a medal with a palm or two on it, and for two reasons. Either he is the best man that self by saying: "It sure is, and I'll tell ye how I got it. I was up in the Bering sea cleaning codfish at the rate of three a minute and paying no particular attention to anything else, when suddenly I picked up the biggest codfish I'd ever seen in me lifetime. He was a beauty, too. Fat? The fattest I'd ever handled. "All right, mates. I plumped by knife into him and was just about to pass him along when something shiray in his 'inards' caught my eye. It was this ring. Yes, sir; this same sparkler that I'm a-showin' you. "Now, lads; how'd that ring get in that fish's stomach? Whose ring is it, or whose was it, anyway? I'm willing to return the ring to the owner, but ownership must be satisfactorily established, as the stone alone is worth $500, a jeweler tells me. Yes, sir, 500 beans—simoleons—plasters. "I'm going to look up a brainy newspaper feller—if there are any brainy ones left, now that the smart guys are all at the front or getting ready to go there—and have him write a story about it, and mebbe I'll get a nice reward, anway, if the owner is found." Akron Deaf-Mute's Experience in an Army Camp A KRON, OHIO.—One of the most interesting army experiences that has come from any training camp is the one that has just been reported of Hinton Wilson, a rubber worker employed by a local tire company, who for a month became incensed at my inability to answer their questions, and unceremoniously hauled me before the examining surgeon. I was pronounced physically sound and the next morning was hustled off to camp, where the boys, taking their cue from the officers, regarded me as a contemptible slacker. "Fortunately a deaf brother of one of the boys paid a visit to the camp, and, after talking with me in sign language, assured my comrades that I was deaf. Their attitude toward me immediately changed and they treated me royally thereafter, doing everything possible to make things pleasant for me. "They waked me at revelie and usually connived to get me in the second rank at drills, so that my mistakes would not be so readily observed by the officer, and that I might have the advantage of imitating the movement of the men in the front rank. But occasionally I landed in the front rank, and I suppose I am fortunate that I could not hear the bawlings out I received from the officer when I marched blitht forward while the rest of the company executed a 'right about face.'" "Ernie, the Bug Shooter," Now Eleven-Year-Old Thug KANSAS CITY. The glare of the arc light at Twelfth and Charlotte streets four years ago disclosed a small boy seated on the curbing. His chubby fists grasped a revolver, his fingers tugging at the trigger. The officers heard a childish, org. "Up, hands—beetles!" ing a box of candy. A month later he took three packages of tea from a grocer. And in another month he robbed a cremery company of several butter packages. His parole was revoked, but he escaped from the home. Ernest pleaded guilty the other day to robbing a jewelry store, a saloon and a cigar store. He was assisted by two other boys, Paul E. Buck, nine years old, 1016 Locust street, and James Swearingen, nine years old, 4342 West Prospect place. In a "play house" in the back yard of 816 Locust street the police recovered most of the stolen articles. "I'm the oldest—eleven years," Ernest told the judge. "Tve got more sense than they. Send me to jail, judge, but don't be hard on Jimmie and Paul—they ain't to blame." Judge Southern sentenced Ernest to the McCune Home for four years. Jimmie and Paul were paroled to their mothers.

At least that, was the information revealed in Judge Karel's juvenile court when Jimmie, fourteen years old, faced the tribunal on a charge of exercising property holders' rights, the amateur sleuth and probation officer, was leaning against a post with his bicycle by his side. When Billy sauntered down the street, Jimmie rode after him. "My father's a detective," Jimmie said when he reached Billy. "I saw you breaking those blocks. You must either go with me to the detention home or take a licking." But Billy was in fear of the detention home, so choosing the lesser of two evils he decided to take the "licking." He was to meet Jimmie the next day to receive his punishment. At the appointed time Billy was there and accompanied Jimmie to Washington park, where in a clump of bushes he felt the blows of the "law." He was then made to report with his reader. This time he was taken to a pond on the West side where, after removing his clothes, he sat, according to orders, and read to Jimmie. However, his reading was not quite "up to scratch," Jimmie said, and as a result Billy was tied to a tree and left alone. He was found by a schoolteacher and a complaint was filed against Jimmie. Jimmie was released on probation after he promised to behave and not take it upon himself to inflict punishment on younger boys brier he is the fuckiest man that ever went fishing, or he is the biggest fishing trip Annulas in or out of captivity.

Boxes for men in the navy, however, may weigh twenty pounds. The regulations governing Christmas packages for soldiers have just been completed after conferences between the war and postoffice departments and the American Red Cross. "The men themselves will decide who is to send these parcels. They are now receiving Christmas parcel labels with instructions to mail these labels to the person in this country from whom they wish to receive the holiday box. "No Christmas parcels will be accepted for shipment after Nov. 20. The cardboard boxes or cartons to be provided for these parcels are 3 inches by 4 inches by 9 inches in size. When packed, wrapped, and ready for mailing these boxes must not weigh more than three pounds." The American Red Cross has agreed to provide these cardboard boxes and to supervise their distribution to relatives of the soldiers who present the proper Christmas parcel label credentials. The following is an outline of the procedure to be followed by persons planning to send one of these parcels abroad: On receiving one of these Christmas parcel labels it should be presented at the nearest chapter, branch, or auxiliary headquarters of the Red Cross, where the holder will receive a carton. These labels are not expected to reach this country before Nov. 1, but by that time each Red Cross branch will have its allotment of boxes, based on the number of soldiers in service oversens from that community. Fur Garments, Eco Just as the perplexed reporter of fashions is about to begin to describe some fetching new fur garment as a cape, she discovers that it has an indisputable claim to be called a scarf. And when she has decided that it belongs to the straightforward, upright and downright scarf family, she finds it consorting with a belt, something scarfs and capes have heretofore not done. Eccentric and interesting—these are the terms that belong to the small fur garments that have lent a willing ear to tales of alluring camouflage this season. They look like so many things we finally have to call them by the most indefinite of terms—merely "garments"—they are that anyway. Here is one of them which is a cape so far as the back and shoulders are concerned, a scarf so far as the front goes, and a jacket, if we take the belt's word for it. It is made of Hudson seal and has a collar of Siberian squirrel. And this is another characteristic of fur garments this season. Hardly one of them but has two kinds of fur in its make-up. The little fur wrap shown in the illustration, worn with a heavy suit, is warm enough for average winter weather and an ideal affair for autumn and early winter. Women wear these small garments with wonderful grace and it is no wonder that furs have carried over into the summer months. It is for style—and they --- These boxes may be filled with any combination of prohibited articles, except those on the list barred by the postal officials. The articles prohibited are all intoxicating liquors, all inflammable material, including friction matches, and any composition likely to ignite or explode (cigarette lighters come under this classification), liquors and fragile articles improperly packed. Under the regulations no note or message or written matter of any kind will be permitted to remain in the boxes. When the package has been packed it should be taken, unwrapped and unsealed, together with the label and sufficient stamps, to the nearest collection center designated by the Red Cross. After the package has passed the inspection of the Red Cross representatives the Christmas label bearing the address of the man for whom it is intended is placed on it. The person sending the package, in the presence of the Red Cross worker, is required to affix stamps, sufficient to carry it to Hoboken, N. J. Wide and Narrow Braid. Braid trimmings from the narrowest soutache to the widest of Hercules are used. One finds dresses covered with wide Hercules from the hem halfway to the waist and on again on the blouse from the waist nearly to the under-arm point with a narrower width on the sleeves from the wrist to the elbow. The Dolman Returns A new winter wrap of heavy black satin is made like the dolman our grandmothers wore and has long monkey fur along the bottom, around the neck and where the sleeves would be if there were any. Of course dolmans do not have sleeves. centric and Pretty have it—that they are so much loved. This little wrap has pockets in the ends at the front. A muff to wear with it in cold weather is of sealskin, like it, but has no squirrel trimming. In spite of the liking for old wraps, nothing equals in popularity scarf and muff sets. There is a great variety in them and in capes with muffs to match, and one need never question their good style. Handsome furs do not need to follow fashion's whims—they are too rich for that. Julia Bottomley Fringe is still used with distinction. This is a style that might easily have been run to the ground, but because of the cleverness of the designers it is still a good style and excellent results are still obtained with fringe of many sorts. Perhaps a mark of the newer usage of fringe is this: Unevenness. Fringe on the edges of panels is so put on that it hangs very often in irregular or uneven lines. Some of the new frocks and blouses have fringed sleeves, with uneven edges. Sometimes, even, the fabric of the frock itself is fringed out to give the right effect. The many women connected with the British air service are called Penguina. --- TAKE THEIR REST ON FLOOR Russian Peasants Have Beds That Are Costly, but Tney Do Not Slumber on Them. In the home of a Russian peasant Denis Garstin discovered the great bed, according to the Youth's Companion. The room, says Mr. Garstin, was small, scrupulously tidy and covered with ornaments. The walls were entirely hidden with ikons—some 30 of them—sacred pictures, cheap lithographs of the czer, czarina and their children, calendars decorated with saints and lovers, and crude photographs of their own family taken at a fair. But by far the most imposing article, dominating over all in the room and insisting on all observance, was the bed. It was a massive creation in itself, made still more imposing by layer on layer of bedding and mattresses and pillows reaching high up the wall and covered with black and red embroidered counterpanes. It was a monument of Russian peasant respectability rather than a suggestion of any repose. I was marveling at it when the baba returned, laden with thick potato pasties and wine and fruit. We sat down to eat and my companion explained who we were and gave the messages. The old woman nearly embraced us in her effusive welcoming. A boy was sent to call in the husband, who was out on the hillside gathering fagots. A little girl went toddling down the village to round up all the relatives she could find, and soon we were the center of a crowd of rough peasants, who tried to cover their shyness by pressing us continually to eat. The husband, a shock-headed old peasant, came last. His wife poured out all the news to him, referring every moment to us for confirmation of each detail, and whenever we said "truly" to her remarks he turned his hat round in his hands and said: "Thank God, but eat and drink some more." "You have a very fine house," I said to him. He stared at me, puzzled by unusual "you." "Yes," he said finally, struggling into the plural, "we have. Tell Lukyan he must come to visit us with every one. There is much room." "But only one bed?" I said. Again I puzzled him. "Yes," he said, "there is a bed, of course." My companion nudged me. "No one sleeps in a bed," he whispered. The baba, glad of any reference to that piece of furniture, had stripped off the covering. "See," she said, "one, two, three, four—15 mattresses. That is enough for every one, is it not?" "They all sleep on the floor," said my companion. "My grandfather used to, too, when he was staying in the country." Thought Gurb a Pantomime Thought Curb a Pantomime. Two English officers, accompanied by an American lieutenant, were out sight-seeing the other afternoon, and as they wended their way down Broad street were amazed at the crowds standing in front of the subtreasury, where the glee club of the police department was giving a concert as a part of an effort to sell tickets for the police field day, the New York correspondent of the Pittsburgh Dispatch writes. A little farther down was an orator selling War stamps, while over on Broadway the party was entertained by a man climbing up the side of a building. Then they came to the curb market and naturally thought this was further entertainment. "I say," remarked the elder of the Englishmen, "I can understand the chap going up the building and the 'bobbies' singing, but I cawn't get the idea of this pantomime." The American officer hastened to assure his guests that this was not an entertainment, but the serious business of trading in stocks. "Now stop your spoofing," said the Englishman. "Don't I see a chap made up like Henry Irving?" He had seen Percy Guard, dean of the curb brokers, in the crowd. Columbus' Name Perpetuated Columbus Name Perpetuated. Cristobal-Colon, the joint city of Colon in the republic of Panam, and Cristobal in the canal zone, is the Spanish name for Christopher Columbus, the first man who sought an all-water route across the Isthmus, in his quest for a new path to Asia. But history shows that Columbus never bore that name while living. He was born of a family known as "Colombo" and when he entered the Spanish service he changed his name to "Cristobal Colon," yet we insist on calling him "Columbus." The Panaman and American cities of Colon and Cristobal, situated at the Atlantic entrance to the Panama canal, are so named in recognition of the great explorer, and a massive bronze statue representing Columbus presenting before the court of Spain one of the native Indians of the new land he had discovered was erected many years ago on the sea front of Cristobal-Colon, and still stands as a monument to the memory of one of the world's most intrepid explorers. Sheep and Wool for Japan. It is interesting to note that after a thorough investigation in this country regarding the plan of campaign for more sheep and more wool by Issa Tanimura, commissioner of live stock for Japan, that it is the purpose of the leading Japanese live stock men to create a bureau, consisting of seven expert wool men, together with a score of assistants and secretaries. The plan of action outlined will require ten years to work out, but it is the intention to make Japan self-supporting as far as the country's wool requirements are concerned. WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS Buck, Backwoods Guide, and the "Bangor Sports" WASHINGTON.—Back from the Malne woods with the latest thing in draft stories came a Washingtonian recently. He and a friend were paddling up the Magalloway river one day shortly after September 12, that big day when 13,000,000 men went quietly to registration places throughout the United States to select tration places throughout the United States to sign up for Uncle Sam. Buck, a backwoods guide, constituted the third occupant of the canoe. Was he backwoods? He was so far backwoods, it is declared, that beyond him was nothin'. They don't come any more backwoodsy than Buck. A young old fellow, gray-haired, tanned, julet, determined, there is only one Buck in the world, friends say.

Her presumable mother bore the affliction with a chronic patience characteristic of parents who are too mistakenly fond to make their youngsters behave, but the passengers around were not so placidly resigned. Two jolly, commonplace women, each loaded with empty baskets and cord bags, had things to say on the subject, and they said them good and loud: "I like kids all right, but if that young one belonged to me I'd spank her so hard that——" "What can you expect with a mother like that?"

"A hard biscuit and a slice of cold salt beef," which Dana mentions in "Two Years Before the Mast" as his usual meal after a long, hard watch off Cape Horn, is no longer the diet of the American merchant sailor. The modern sailor man is well fed, with plenty of fresh meat, vegetables and soft bread, no matter what the voyage he may be on. Modern refrigerating plants and modern cooking methods are to be thanked for that. On the hundreds of new ships which are being built for the merchant marine by the United States shipping board careful attention is paid to the equipment for storing, cooking and serving food. The government is fully aware that sailors, like soldiers, work best on well-filled stomachs. Care is taken also that efficient men are employed as cooks on the nation's new merchant fleets. Good sea cooks are not numerous, even in normal times. Having that fact in mind, the United States shipping board, with the thoroughness that marks all its efforts to create an unequaled merchant marine, is engaged in training an adequate number of cooks to man the galleys of its new ships. Young men of character and intelligence are chosen for instruction. The training of cooks is part of the work done by the shipping board's recruiting service. This service has a fleet of training ships, based at Atlantic and Pacific ports, on all of which young Americans are taught by experienced cooks the serious business of preparing good food at sea. Besides that, the board has special cooking schools on two of the ships—the Meade, a former Atlantic liner stationed at Boston, and the steamer Dorothy Bradford, stationed at New York. Cooking at sea is by no means the same thing as cooking on land. The sea cook has several things to bear in mind that the land cook, in hotel, restaurant or home kitchen never has to think about. The training of cooks is part of the work done by the shipping board's recruiting service. This service has a fleet of training ships, based at Atlantic and Pacific ports, on all of which young Americans are taught by experienced cooks the serious business of preparing good food at sea. Besides that, the board has special cooking schools on two of the ships—the Mende, a former Atlantic liner stationed at Boston, and the steamer Dorothy Bradford, stationed at New York. Cooking at sea is by no means the same thing as cooking on land. The sea cook has several things to bear in mind that the land cook, in hotel, restaurant or home kitchen never has to think about. Take for instance some of the precautions he must observe as illustrated by the following "Don'ts for Sea Cooks:" Don't expect the stove to remain in a perpendicular position, nor the cook. You are on a moving platform, namely, the ship's deck, which often rolls and sways with the motion of the ship in the sea. Don't fill a kettle full of liquid. The rolling of the ship will cause the contents to slop over and with fats may start a fire. Don't allow pots and pans to get adrift. As a guard against this, the galley range has an iron rail around it. Don't permit dishes to be left on dresser or pantry shelf as on land. If you do they will slide off and be smashed. There are little pigeon-holes for each kind into which the dishes fit, then being a high bar across the front, with a space cut out through which a dish may be reached and lifted out. On modern ships the serving is done by men in the steward's department, called stewards, so the sea cook of today needs none of that dexterity of foot that one-legged John Silver showed as he pegged his way aft with dinner along the slippery deck in the brig of "Treasure Island." It is a truism aboard ship that only a cook who likes his job is worth his salt. A discontented cook will spoil good food. This psychology is recognized by the shipping board in choosing young men for training as cooks. Only those who volunteer for the job are wanted. There are plenty who do. Out of 3,000 apprentices always on the training ships a certain percentage may be counted on to ask for training as cooks. These young men are serving on the nation's "bridge of ships" from patriotic motives. Some may go back to their home towns when the war is over; but others will remain in the merchant marine, and will take a part in the country's peace expansion at sea as dignified as that taken by captain, mate or engineer on the ship on which they serve. Nor will they suffer in a financial way, for a chief cook gets $90 a month wages, be- These young men are serving on the nation's "bridge of ships" from patriotic motives.

When the young law student, or bank teller, or blacksmith's helper who has decided to become a sea cook reports for instruction on the Meade or the Bradford he is taken in hand by a wise old chef who proceeds to teach him the A, B, C's of sea cooking. These embrace some general rules as to cleanliness and general galley practice, neatly type-written, under the head "Advice to the Cook." The most particular housewife will find these rules sound. Here are a few of them: Great cleanliness, as well as care and attention, are required from a cook. Keep your hands very clean. Try to prevent your nails from getting black or discolored. Don't scatter in your galley; clean up as you go; put scalding water into each saucepan or stewpan as your fathth using it. Dry your saucepans before you put them on the shelf. Never scrub inside of a frying pan; rub it with wet silver-sand, rinse it out well with hot water afterwards. Wash your pudding cloths, scald and hang them to dry directly after using them; air them before you put them away, or they will be musty. Keep in a dry place. Be careful not to use a knife that has cut onions until it has been cleaned. Keep sink and sink-brush very clean; be careful never to throw anything but water down sink. Do not throw cabbage water down it; throw it away, as its smell is very bad. Never have sticky plates or dishes. Use very hot water for washing them; when greasy change it. Clean copperers with turpentine and fine brickdust, rubbed with flannel; polish them with chamois and a little dry brickdust. Clean your tins with soap and whitening mixed, made into a thick cream with hot water. Rub it on with flannel; when dry, whisk it off with clean chamois and dry whitening. Take care that you look at the meat the butcher brings, to see if it is good. Let there be no waste in the kitchen. In Uncle Sam's school for sea cooks instruction begins, logically, with cereals for breakfast. It happens that the instruction chef on the Bradford is a Scot, and when Jamie Nicol gets through teaching a new hand the art of cooking oatmeal there is nothing further to be said. The novice is next shown how to fry eggs and bacon, how to make hash and how to prepare hamburg steak. These are his first steps. He next gets a chance at dinner, with making soups and roasting and boiling meats and cooking various kinds of vegetables. In this work he learns the mysteries of the big galley range — a mighty stove, near seven feet long—of the steam kettle that will cook soup for 100 men and of the steam-oven cooker for vegetables. If he is ambitious, the beginner takes a special course in baking and pudding making, for real puddings take the place of the traditional soggy duff of old times on Uncle Sam's merchant ships. Rice pudding is a favorite. Lucky is the young man who learns to cook rice from a veteran who acquired the art on a trader out of Rangoon or a clipper from Calcutta. "Never put your rice into the kettle until the water is boiling, then scatter it in." That is the standard rule for rice. "Then we tell 'em to be sure never to put in the sugar until the rice is done," says the chef. It has been found that six weeks of intensive training will make a very good sea cook of a beginner if he shows proper aptitude. "We can tell the natural cook," says Jamie Nicol, "by the questions he asks. The good beginners ask all about everything and make notes. We have a number who put everything they want to remember down in a book. They will make good." THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 2. 1918. It is the ambition of most sea cooks to get on a big ship. In wartime, cooking on the smallest vessel is an essential calling, but the big vessel with its modern equipment and efficiency organization appeals strongly to the type of young man now taking up sea cooking for Uncle Sam. The large vessels carry several cooks. A 5,000-ton freighter has a chief cook, a second cook, who is also baker, and a third cook, or cook's mate. The chief cook is usually the meat cutter also, and in these times scientific meat cutting, as well as cooking, is required on the merchant fleet and taught in the shipping board's floating cooking schools. WOMEN ARE GOOD MECHANICS. According to a report of the national industrial conference board, women in wartime employment are showing a remarkable adaptability for machine shop work. The report summarizes information obtained from 131 establishments employing 335,015 men and 49,823 women and including 10,657 women engaged in work formerly performed exclusively by men. Their labor, says the Christian Herald, has ranged from the operation of drill presses and lathes to coremaking, inspecting and assembling mechanical products and performing many precise machine operations. In the main it has been confined to the lighter processes requiring rapidity and dexterity, and in such work their output has proved equal to and frequently greater than that of male employees. This was notably true of women's work in automobile manufacture and in a munition plant manufacturing fuses, where women operatives on drill presses and milling machines were from 25 to 50 per cent more rapid than men.

Among facts disclosed in the investigation conducted by the council of national defense to learn the buying trend in civilian trade during the war are a decided increase in sales of small diamonds and a falling off in sales of sizes from one-half carat upward. This is attributed to the great increase in price and the tendency of people to buy diamonds by price alone; that is, they have, perhaps, $75 or $100 to put in a stone, and it brings them a much smaller jewel than the same amount would procure a year or two ago. Watches are in great demand, especially wrist watches, which have been enormously popularized by the war.

They differed in appearance and disposition. Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. They were born that way. Every child born into the world possesses a peculiar bent which we call individuality. No two are exactly alike, even twins like Esau and Jacob. The wise parent, the wide-awake teacher, the educator, seeks diligently to discover that peculiar individuality, and to give it direction according to the laws of its own being. This bent is the basis of character. Neither Esau nor Jacob is an ideal personality. Both are selfish. II. Parental Favoritism (v. 28). Isaac loved Esau because he did eat of his venison. He ought to have loved him because he was his son, but it is a sad commentary upon a father that his love for his son had such a sordid basis as that of his stomach. Isaac, however, was like many today whose love is secured through their appetites. Rebecca loved Jacob, though we are not told why. Perhaps it was because of his cunning. In this respect he was like his mother, who practiced craftiness to a finish on her husband. Cleverness is a bond which strongly binds together many people. Many hold the respect of their friends because of their shrewdness, irrespective of their moral qualities. Parents should treat their children alike. To show partiality is both unwise and unjust. Even when children possess peculiar qualities which call forth parental affection, it should never be made manifest that preference is made. III. A Birthright Sold (vv. 29-34). 1. Essau's profanity (Heb. 12:16-17). He sold his birthright for a bowl of pottage. The birthright was the right of being at the head of the patrilarchal family, a position of honor and influence, as well as being the inheritor of a double portion of the father's estate. This being a gift of God should not be despised. He came from hunting physically exhausted. In this moment of distress, he thought only of that which promised immediate satisfaction. He was willing to relinquish all claim upon the future, if only his present desire could be gratified. A profane person is one who for the enjoyment of the present will forfeit all claim upon the future. He would gladly gain both worlds, but seeing that mess of pottage he lets go of the future for the present. Swearing is profanity, but not the most common. To be under the sway of appetite is to be profane. What profanity about us! For a moment's sinful pleasure men and women are throwing away innocence, happiness and their souls eternally. This is most serious, for acts are irrevocable 2. Jacob's cunning. It was right that Jacob should have the birthright, for it was according to God's plan which had been pronounced (v. 23), but his scheme to get it is to be condemned. He took advantage of his brother's weakness to drive a sharp bargain. The same thing is practiced when under the force of necessity unlawful interest is exacted, or property is bought under price because one is obliged to sell. To get rich at the expense of another is to practice Jacob's sin. Modern competitive business methods to a decided extent are of this type. Let each one ask: "Is my name Jacob?" The end never justifies the means. God said that the elder should serve the younger. It was his plan that Jacob should be at the head, but God was able to bring his own plans to pass. He did not need the scheming of Jacob and his mother to further his plans. To do evil that good may come is always wrong. Understanding the Bible I believe that the Bible is to be understood in the plain and obvious meaning of its passages; for I cannot persuade myself that a book intended for the instruction and conversion of the whole world should cover its true meaning in any such mystery and doubt that none but critics and philosophers can discover it.—Daniel Webster. Public Good. There never was found in any age of the world, either religion or law that did so highly exalt the public good as the Bible.—Bacon. With Christ's Aid With the power of Christ perfected in my weakness, I am equal to every temptation, competent for every duty, equipped for every struggle, the master of every fear.—W. L. Watkinson.

PLAN YOUR MEALS TO SAVE FUEL. Lancaster Only Three and a Half Cents' Worth of Gas Were Required to Cook in Oven This Entire Delicious Meal. SAVING FUEL IS PATRIOTIC DUTY Housewives Are Urged to Practice Economy in Arranging Meals for Family. COOK ENTIRE MEAL IN OVEN Compartment Vessel Which Enables One to Cook Two or Three Vegetables Over One Burner Is Worthy of Attention. It is just as much a patriotic service for you to save fuel as to save food. War activities call for great quantities of fuel in addition to the usual demand. To make this supply available every American must save. A little thought in the planning of your meals, with the saving of fuel in view, will make it possible to save an appreciable amount each day. Utilizing the Flame. For the woman who cooks with gas or liquid fuel, many economies are practicable. The purchase of a compartment vessel which enables one to cook two or three vegetables over one burner is a worth-while economy, since the gas from one burner cooks the food ordinarily requiring three burners. Or if you have a colander or a wire basket that fits over an ordinary kettle you can steam such vegetables as squash, peas or carrots over the kettle in which the potatoes are boiling. Remember that when the flame spreads up around the side of the vessel you waste gas. Turn down the flame after the boiling point is reached, for the potatoes will not cook any more quickly in water that is boiling fast than in water that is boiling slowly. The greatest amount of gas wasted, however, is by the indiscriminate use of the oven. Too often the oven is lighted to bake a single dish when by a little careful planning the whole dinner can be baked by the heat expended upon one dish. Three Fuel-Saving Dinners. Here are three dinners planned to utilize the heat of the oven to the best advantage, all the hot dishes of which may be baked at the same time. I. Peppers stuffed with Rice and Cheese. Baked Potatoes. Baked Onions. Corn Dodgers. Butter. Sliced Tomatoes. Baked Cocoanut Custard. II. Roast Beef with Browned Potatoes and Gravy. Baked Whole Tomatoes. Fresh Celery. Bran Biscuit. Butter. Apple Betty. 111. Smothered Veal. Glazed Sweet Potatoes. Baked Corn. Pickles. Bread. Butter. Sliced Fresh Peaches or Baked Dried Peaches. Oatmeal Drop Cookies. It may not always be convenient to have such a baked dinner, but if you do light the oven to bake cake or even quick bread, think ahead far enough to have some sort of fruit or pudding ready to put in the oven for use at a later meal. If such care is used it may prove better economy to make frequent use of the oven. Another way to save fuel is the use of the fireless cooker for meat, cereals, and some vegetables. The main point in the conservation of fuel in cooking is planning ahead how to make the best use of the smallest amount of fuel. A meal cooked with the aid of a fireless cooker must be planned ahead, for time is required for this type of cooking. You will find that the meals planned ahead carefully are better meals and you will be surprised how much you can cut your fuel consumption. SAVING AND WASTING Save by Using: Dates, raisins, figs, to sweeten puddings and cereals. Fruit and nut confections for candy. Honey, sirups, maple sugar, and molasses in cakes, cookies, and all desserts. Less sugar in beverages. Less sugar in beverages. Thinner sirups or no sirups in canning. No frosting unless made without sugar. Waste by Losing: Sugar dregs in coffee cups and iced-tea tumblers. Sugar leavings in cereal bowls and saucers. Sugar spilled in little lots in cooking.

Attempts have been made to keep popular the tasteful and popular dish of sauerkraut by changing the name to Liberty cabbage. But if the rose will smell as sweet by any other name, so will sauerkraut taste as good to many people whether its name be changed or not. The essential points to make good kraut are the use of mature, sound cabbage, scruppulous cleanliness throughout the process, and proper care of the surface of the brine after fermentation is completed. In making sauerkraut for home purposes the outer green leaves of the cabbage should be removed, just as in preparing the head for boiling. In addition, all decayed or bruised leaves should be discarded and the core removed. If an instrument for this purpose is not available, it is advisable to quarter the heads and slice off the part of the core remaining on each quarter. The cabbage should be shredded by one of the hand-shredding machines sold upon the market for such purposes, or, if one is not available, the heads may be cut into thin slices with a slaw cutter or a large knife. The shredded cabbage should be packed immediately into a perfectly clean, water-tight receptacle, such as a cider or wine barrel, leg, or tub. As it is packed into the receptacle add salt in the proportion of one pound of salt to forty pounds of cabbage, distributing it evenly throughout the cabbage. Experiments have shown that approximately two and one-half pounds of salt to each one hundred pounds of shredded cabbage give the best flavor to the resulting kraut. When the barrel or crock is nearly full, the cabbage should be pressed down as firmly as possible and covered with a clean board cover. It is adversible, but not essential, that clean cloth be placed over the cabbage before the cover is put into place. The salt soon extracts a considerable amount of the cabbage juice from the cabbage, and a sufficient weight of clean brick or stone should be added to cause the brine to rise up to the wooden cover. Set the container aside until fermentation is complete and skim off any scum that forms.

Undertaking Parlors Tuesday. Rev. Osborne officiated. TO THE PUBLIC At the earnest request of former patrons and sincere friends, I am forced to speak briefly in defense of the former management of the present Booker T. Washington Garage and Training School. Conditions were not always the best at the Davis Auto Training School and Garage owing to the important fact that I was never fortunate enough to be allied with business partners who could appreciate the urgent necessity of dividing "fifty-fifty" the many bills, worries, etc., as well as the proceeds. Recently I disposed of my interests at a supreme sacrifice to accept a place with an able firm of this city as a local buyer of used cars, etc., a position which offers unusual recuperative chances, mentally, physically and financially. I therefore resent the implication that I may have retired in disgrace and my statement will be substantiated by the owner of the building which I occupied, various reliable men of the city, and as further corroboration, a letter from Secretary of War containing sufficient inspiration, should I have been inclined to continue in business. As the original founder of the institution and of the first of its kind in Kansas City, I have every wish for its future success and I heartily endorse the present management and earnestly solicit your patronage. Sincerely, J. A. DAVIS. WANTED! One hundred Colored men and women at once at Booker T. Washington Auto Training School and Garage at 1420 Woodland avenue to learn the Automobile business. It's the greatest industry in the world. We give you a full course—Engine, Ignition, Vulcanizing and Driving—for $75.00. We need 40 men and women immediately to take driving alone.

It makes no difference what alis your Ford, he's got the remedy. Let us have that Ford of yours at once. A fortune lurks in every Ford and Ennis will get it out for you. Our men are polite, sober and intelligent—our big garage is spacious and inviting. Our storage terms are below everybody's. Get in at once. We ask the patronage of every car owner. Just slip your race pride into your machine and drive over. W. O. BERRYMAN-G. A. PAGE, Bell Phone East 4792. WRITE!—COME!—CALL! LIEUT PARKS TELLS HOW GERMAN SHELLS FELL VERY CLOSE TO HIM How German shells close to him but miraculously failed to explode is told by First Lieut. Clemmis C. Parks in a letter to his brother, Ben F. Parks, an employee of the Hotel Utah. Lieut. Parks is with the 372nd Infantry and has led his band of courageous colored American boys in some fierce fighting on the French front. His letter to his brother follows, in part: France, Sept. 15, 1918. "Dear Brother: "I was very glad indeed to receive your letter, which found me well and doing fine. I told you in my last letter of my duty. At this time our regiment is in a rest camp and we are enjoying once more a happy life. We have just left the great Verdun sector, where the fighting was so fierce in 1916, and previous to that occupied the sectors in the great Argonne forest, and the city of Vouquois. You may not know or never had a close call, but believe me, old Kalser Bill let us have a few minnies (German shells) one night while at Vouquois, and two fell between my men and me as we were repairing some breaks in our wire entanglements. "Well, Ben, I thought then my shell had arrived, but whether the prayers of the frightened soldier erased my name, I can't say, but fortunately the shells were defective, and failed to explode, else I would not be telling you of it now. "But we receive so many exciting times over here, it is getting common, and if a bullet misses us, we go right on. For me the life of a soldier has always had a curious spell and if you remember, I first entered when 18 years old. If nothing happens, will stay in even after the war. "Well, brother when do you intend to come over? We are sure being entertained royally here. Yesterday the citizens gave us a dinner, and the main diet was roast duck, and of course you know what goes with that fare."—Salt Lake Daily.
