LINCOLN FIRST COLORED WAR C Ralph W. Tyler Off to the and to Tell of Thei Some Striking Incidents of t Humanitarian Forces Battalion Accredited Representat Paris, France, Sept. 28.—I have just reached this city, after a ten days' voyage, which was, for the most part, uneventful. We experienced delightful weather from the time we steamed out of New York's harbor until we cast anchor in a port over here. Had it not been for the democratic split prevailing aboard the big liner, and which gave me a most satisfactory taste of this "world democracy" for which the Allies are fighting, I might have considered the voyage monotonous. Aboard the ship was quite a galaxy of notable writers for the big dailies and magazines; feature and fiction writers who were taking a respite from that occupation to write "straight stuff" for dailies they are to represent. Among them were celebrities like Will Irwin, Robert W. Ritchie, Damon Runyon, H. J. Foreman, erstwhile managing editor of Collier's, and Applegarth, known as "Appy" by the pencil pushers and readers, of the Pittsburgh Post. Each and everyone of these notable writers—former newspaper reporters—seemed to have made an especial effort to make me forget—which I did—that my skin was several shades darker than theirs, and by sooing to convince me that this "world democracy" for which the Allies are fighting is neither a barren ideality nor a rainbow vision, but typical of the treatment accorded me by all the other passengers. Among the nearly two thousand souls making up the ship's passenger list were many Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Knights of Columbus and Salvation Army workers. These all displayed a most notable evidence of a healthy spirit of democracy by their fraternizing as if they were all members of the one and same organization. Among the Y. M. C. A. workers aboard were five colored secretaries, Fritz P. Cansler of Knoxville, Tenn.; Thomas M. Clayton of Piqua, Ohio; F. L. Clark of Leavenworth, Kas.; D. D. Mattocks of Philadelphia, and G. W. Jackson of Louisville, Ky. The Y. M. C. A. certainly made no mistake in selecting DETERMINED BUSINESS WOMEN. In the economic struggle that the race is making to secure a foothold in the business world. Negro women are playing an important part and Kansas City has three who are successfully solving the intricacies and perplexities of the business world. Mrs. Laura Hunter, in the grocery business at 2440 Vine street, is gradually forging ahead over strong opposition and is building up trade that should be a source of pride to every loyal Negro in this city. In a territory inhabited by Colored people she should enjoy a trade that will enable her to employ three or four clerks of the race, but with that natural distrust that Negroes have for each other in business, her progress has necessarily been slow, but happily, sure. In the next block, at 2409, Mrs. Taylor Holmes, widow of the late Taylor Holmes, one of the most industrious, successful railroad porters this city ever knew, conducts a very pretentious and successful Dry Goods Business that she and her husband had established through many privations before his death. She has a Racket department in connection, where most The Kansas City Sun theses five men for overseas duty, for they represent the highest type in the race, and by their bearing won the respect, and even admiration, of all on board the ship. Diversions by Service Battalion Aboard Ship. Aboard the ship also was a colored service battalion belonging to an Engineer Regiment. They were stout, husky fellows, whose good humor was effervescent, even contagious, and their rollicking songs and plantation melodies cheered all, making them, those whose thoughts had involuntarily turned to submarines—Germany's acme of kultur—forget them and banish all fear from their minds. One of the songs which they frequently sang, and with a gusto which gave further evidence of their 100 per cent Americanism, and which never failed to elicit rapturous applause from the white passengers, was "Three Months From Now We Will Be in Germany." I had heard it said that the big waters frightened Colored soldiers, but these Colored soldiers aboard the ship I sailed appeared as contented, self-centered and care-bereft on the big ship at night, when lights were out, as they were down in Alabama, Virginia, Mississippi, and other Southern states from whence most of them came. Their contentment at sea, and when in the submarine zone, constituted another disillusion. Among these troopers were some clever boxers, and the monotony of "just sky and water" was frequently broken by some rattling boxing matches between these troopers for pretty substantial purses which the white passengers contributed merely out of admiration and respect for these big, brave black boys, who did not fear to come over here to fight for world democracy. An amusing incident took place, the second day out. Forty or fifty of the Colored soldiers had formed a circle and were singing to their heart's delight, and the delight of the passengers. One of them, seemingly, changed his voice with each song or hymn. "What do you sing?" called down from the upper deck a good natured son of the Emerald Ise. Quick as a flash anything needed for the home can be found. Every Negro on the South Side should give this excellent woman their patronage and support. Further up the street, at 2224 Vine Street, Mrs. William Hopkins, widow of the late William Hopkins, the founder of the original Cheap John Furniture Store, conducts a thriving and successful business. Single handed and alone she took hold after her husband's death and never wavered nor faltered for a moment until now she has built up a business that is a source of pride to her friends and the race in general. Mrs. Hopkins is an expert buyer and a keen, intelligent saleswoman, and there is no stock of second hand goods to large for her consideration and no article for the home too small to be found in her establishment. WHEATLEY-PROVIDENT HOSPITAL The report of Wheatley-Provident Hospital for October shows that forty-two patients were treated last month since moving into the new institution, ten operations performed, forty-eight dollars in charity given.

YOU MUST HELP came the answer: "Sometimes I sing bass and sometimes I sing soprano." And it was true, for in the chorus he adapted himself to the type of the song he was singing, to the circumstance, to the other singers, and above all, perhaps, to his mood. Because they were lighthearted, cheerful when going acros the big waters, it must not be accepted they were merely lighthearted because of lack of brain development, for many among them were bright, intelligent men, graduates of Howard University and other accredited schools. Off to the Front for News of "Our Boys." I shall tarry but a day or two here in Paris; only until I get my itinerary tentatively made out, and then I shall be off to the front where our Colored soldiers are stationed, and I go to the front with the same absence of fear that characterized the Colored troopers who sailed for France on the ship with me. In my next letter I hope to have been able to secure some real, permissable news about what the Colored soldiers—our boys—have done, an are doing to maintain the race's traditional reputation for bravery, endurance and patriotism, and to help "make the world safe for democracy." If this world emocracy we are fighting for is like the sample I have been made acquainted with, from New York to Paris, I have no doubt what they are putting up a whaling good fight to land the Democracy pennant for the United States—our own, and only country.

On last Wednesday night the Kansas City Medical Society gave a delightful dinner in the dining room of the institution to the members of the Board as an appreciation of their splendid service during the year, which was highly enjoyed by all present. One of the commendable auxiliaries connected with the hospital is the Wheatley-Provident Hospital Auxiliary No. 1, which was organized January 5, this year, imme STRAUSS FORTRAIT Missouri elects a United States Senator, a Lower House of the State Legislature, (one member of which is a Negro), six Congressmen all Republicans, and serves notice she will elect her entire ticket in 1920. diately following the close of the campaign for funds to purchase the new building.

Citizens Organized to Raise Money in The United War Work Campaign. One Week's Campaign in Homes and Shops. WISHES FOR THE SOLDIERS TO BE COINED INTO DOLLARS All arrangements are complete for the enthusiastic opening of the United War Work Campaign among Kansas City's Negro population, bright and early Monday morning. Final details were decided upon Thursday night at a meeting called by Fred W. Dabney, Chairman of the Negro Department at the Paseo Y. M. C. A. The plans contemplate full and hardy co-operation in every effective way with the plans of the Central Campaign Committee located in the Security Building. A large committee made up of a number of our leading business and professional men has been selected to supervise and carry on the details of the campaign. The committee was divided into an executive committee, a publicity committee, a flying squadron and six canvassing teams of ten members each. Prof. M. H. Thompkins, Principal of Douglass School, was made Chairman of the Executive Committee; Dr. Howard M. Smith, Chairman of the Flying Squadron; Willis G. Mosely, Chairman of the Publicity Committee, and G. A. Page, Supervisor of Team Captains. The plans adopted have for their object the simplifying of the work of the Campaign. It was expressed that the desire of the committee is that the Negroes of Kansas City should do THEIR FULL PART toward making the campaign a success. The important thing is that EVERY ONE SUBSCRIBE. And that the subscription be made through the first agency that presents itself. Subscriptions given through the committee that canvasses the place where one works will do the cause as much good as though it were given to one of the Negro teams. The thing essential is that Kansas City's quota be raised and that Kansas City's Negro population be represented 100 per cent in the raising of that quota. The fund is to provide the means for carrying on the work of the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the Catholic War Council, the Jewish Welfare Board, the War Camp Community Service, the Salvation Army and the American Library Association during the next fiscal year. In addition to these seven nationally recognized war service organizations, twenty-four local institutions supported by the public will participate in the distribution of three hundred thousand dollars of the $1,800,000 to be Children's Home of which Dr. William H. Thomas, pastor of Allen Chapel, is the president, will be one. Headquarters will be kept open at persons have paid in full: Dr. T. C. Brown, $50; Dr. Thomas A. Jones, $50; Dr. I. M. Horton, $5, and Mr. C. E. Stephens. Every subscriber should pay their subscription this week. FIRE AT NEGRO INSTITUTE. Crossed Wires Cause $10,000 Damage to Normal School in the Capital.

Fire came very nearly destroying the whole tower of the main building of Lincoln Institute Monday morning. Practically a loss of $10,000 was sustained by the state. The flames seemed to have caught in the tower and burned ownward, which was similar to the fire that destroyed the county court house about a year ago and the state capitol seven or eight years ago. As soon as the fire was discovered, about 8:30, or thereabout, an alarm was sent to the city fire department, which brought the motor on the scene a few minutes later. The tower of the motor was insufficient to throw water to the tower, but the lower floors were so drenched with water that when the fire did reach them the flames readily subside.

The colored inhabitants here are few owing to the fact that there are no colored schools here, but Miss Allen attends white high school. The school has a chorus of about sixty pupils, and I find it quite a pleasure in saying that she is one of the leading soprano singers...On last Sunday two weeks ago services were held in the A. M.

However, a day or so following the momentious arrival, choice venison steaks were heard sizzling at 818 Breckenridge street, Baker's castle, and several persons, including Arthur, "the sure shot," were seen entering therein. Peculiar noises heard over the tranzoom caused a rumor next day of scraps between some of the guests, but upon investigation it proved to be the sound made by the upper and lower lips as they encompassed the steaks, and there was not even a scrap left.

Jesse Peck, has fully recovered from the serious attack of a few weeks ago, to the delight of students and faculty. The Rev. J. D. Barksdale, D.D., and the Rev. J. T. Smith, members of the Trustee Board, were visitors at Western University last week and attended chapel exercises. They both gave us inspiring addresses. Some days we were honored with the presence of one of our general officers in the person of the Rev. Julian C. Caldwell, secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League. He addressed the student body while here, to the delight of all his hearers. The Hallowe'en masque social was given on October 31. Practically all of the students and faculty were in attendance and there was an abundance of unique costumes. Miss Lillian Storey, Mr. Theodore Carpenter and 100 WE CANNOT FORGET! Events sometime move swiftly, but the solemn years struggle accurately and regularly along, even to Eternity. Booker T. Washington died November 14, 1915, at his home in Tuskegee, Ala., near the institution he built, on the ground he hallowed by a loving, unfiring toll and made fruitful, and to smile over the earth by his noble brain. Miss Gussie Taylor were awarded prizes for cleverness or uniqueness of costumes. A delightful surprise was given our beloved president by the students on last Saturday evening. The program was excellent, Mr. Cousins Kimball being master of ceremonies, and a dainty menu was served. Our matron, Mrs. Curry, has been indisposed for some time but is now able to be out again. The Sunday School Teachers' Training Class has been organized for this school year with an enrollment exceeding all previous years. Dean Vaughn is the instructor. Captain Latson, a Negro officer, is domiciling at the Barracks. It is needless to say that we are pleased to have had him assigned sere by the Department of War and we are hoping that he will be joined ere long by other Negro officers. Drs. J. R. Ranson of Wichita was seen about the campus last week together with Dr. W. H. Thomas of Allen Chapel, Kansas City. These gentlemen are untiring in their efforts for our institution. Western University's, Auto-Mechanic School is now completed and will be ready for work "in full blast in a few days." We will soon boast of a large number of cars. From Over the Seas. The Sun is in receipt of a letter from Lieut. J. R. Fairley, who says that the black boys are making good. He says they are quite enthusiastic about winning the war and have no fear of the bullets coming from the enemy. Lieut. Fairley writes that the boys of the Company find it very interesting watching the enemy fire and dodging every shot as it starts toward them. The following interesting letter was received from Sergt. Albert F. Ross: Dear Friend Mr. Crews: Through your thoughtfulness, or that of your manager, a bunch of Sun copies reached our camp a few days ago. I proceeded to issue them out to the Kansas City boys. It was indeed a great treat, such a feast of home news. Do it again! We came through what up to about THE BOOKER TALLAFERIO WASHINGTON If those who have passed on to the "silent continents" still fondly remain interested in the woeful world they have left, then surely Washington must keep a watchful eye on the events of this nether-earth and feel a warm concern for his people. This man exemplified the truth here, but he is sure to know it fuller over Yonder—yonder in the morning hills of light! Our exemplar was removed from the harness, under which he considered it a glory to work, just before two weeks ago for two years was No Man's Land—land from which neither side could dislodge the other. But when Uncle Sam's combination of white and black soldiers hit the line, the enemy went back in a hurry. his country was drawn present war.

O see the matchless trouble, and we are and depending on l the battle of life s the victory shall Israel's side, and w our own people, we After coming out of the forest on the Ridge road, like the one near Swope Park, we entered a district where bare trees had their leaves and limbs shot away, and stood mute and motionless as relics of the hail of bullets from machine guns. Stumps of others remained, and barb wire and iron post entanglements were piled high like the big rusty junk heaps in the West Bottoms near the Stock Yards. Shell holes ten to twelve feet across dotted the ground every few feet. As we advanced the ground became barren, bleak and gray, where nothing had lived for a long time, and looked like the unsightly bluff sides near the old Union Station. Trenches crossing and criss-crossing were everywhere, many neat and orderly, with revetments and narrow sidewalks on side and bottom respectively. Near the crest were tunnels, enemy dugouts in which their officers higher up had lived in fairly comfortable circumstances; some instances with piano, stoves, wall paper on sides and concrete floor. Blood and torn soldier clothing were frequently seen. In the destruction of such places our engineer regiment has won much glory from the French soldiers and people. One can never forget such a place. With best wishes to all my friends in Allen Chapel and also in the two Kansas Citys, which number a host. I am praying for you and mine there a bountiful Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas tide. Your old co-worker for Negro uplife, SERGT. ALBERT F. ROSS, Stenog, in Engr. Hdqrs. THE NEGRO AS A SOLDIER. Bq Sergt. Eugene A. Walker, Camp Funston, Kas. The Negroes are brave and powerful and should be praised by his people in every land and country. We thank the Lord that we are able to go to the front as any other nation. We have left our wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers behind awaiting our return. The Lord hath said that he would be with us in the time of Rock B. his country was dragged into the now present war. But we know he was a patriotic man as well as a good man. And as his own good people have acted, so would he have had them to act namely, to meet every requirement of the war period in a manly and upright manner. Look down, oh Washington, and see our black troops at the front. See your people nobly espousing the cause of the Liberty Loan and note, too, their phenomenal, industrial opportunity. Of this I seem to see the matchless leader smile with trouble, and we are leaning on Him and depending on His Word. When the battle of life shall be over and the victory shall be achieved on Israel's side, and when we return to our own people, we want it said that we have fought bravely and those of us who have died in battle will meet around the throne of God and praise Him forever and ever. Amen. LIEUTENANT GASSED TWICE. In a letter from his mother, Mrs Sarah Parks, of Fort Scott, Kas., Ben Parks, an employee of the Hotel Utah, learns that his brother, First Lieut. Clem Parks, has returned from France to recuperate after having been gassed twice. The lieutenant has seen vigorous action on teh battle front and a recent letter in The News told how he narrowly escaped death when German shells fell so close to him and his men as they were repairing wire entanglements; the shells were defective and to this fact Lieut. Parks in all probability owes his life. His mother writes that all Fort Scott has turned out to do him honor and to see numerous interesting relics which he brought home.-Salt Lake News. Chaplain H. M. Collins, nephew of Mrs. R. W. Foster, writes from France that he is well and getting along fine and that it pleases the boys and him. self immensely to get a letter or a paper from home. He says our boys have been in the thick of the fray but are resolved not to come home until victory has been won. Mrs. Mollie Williamson received a communication from her son, Chaucey D. Williamson, who is overseas, stating he is well pleased in the service and is very enthusiastic for victory. He enclosed a copy of the welcome letter handed him from the King of England. A WORTHY APPEAL The National Race Congress of America at its last annual meeting, October 1, 2, 3, authorized that a Commission be sent to France at the earliest possible date to cheer and encourage our soldier boys over there and to contribute in whatever way they can to their comfort and welfare. Prominent men of the race composes Reil approval, yet a soft shade of admonition crosses his brow and he would speak. I know that he would counsel a closer adherence to the laws of economy and a more careful conservation of his race's new prosperity. Yes, Booker T. Washington still lives. As the accruing years render his people more thoughtful they will also become more grateful and appreciative of his life and work. His memory will live to them in the wise and wholesome philosophy which he taught. It will require at least $4,000.00 to meet the expense of this commission, and we issue this appeal to the public, asking for contributions toward this fund. All checks or money orders for this purpose should be made payable to A. A. Graham, corresponding and financial secretary, who will promptly acknowledge with official receipt. The money should be sent to A. A. Graham, Box 177, Phoebus, Va., or Headquarters, 903 Third Street, N.W., Washington, D. C. In order to get the commission over there at an early date it should be in hand by December 1, 1918. We earnestly pray that every unit of our congress, that the churches and lodges throughout the country and every one interested in the welfare of our soldiers in France will respond to this appeal at once. We call upon pastors especially to put this matter before churches. The following amounts have been pledged: R. F. Williams, Texas, $100; S. J. Walls, N. C., $100; Walter Darden, N. J., $100; J. E. Bryant, Miss., $100; with many lodges pledging $10 each. A. A. GRAHAM, WM. H. STOKES, JOHN R. HAWKINS, C. H. STEPTHAU, H. J. CALLIS, Committee. W. H. JERNAGIN, Pres. A. A. GRAHAM, Cor. and Fin. Sec. about corner THEY SAY —That a Negro draftee who was advised to make his will before going to war, made this answer: "I hain't got no use for dat kind of a will; de only will I keers anything about is—will I come back?" —That an old Cullud woman recently filed a petition for divorce from her husband. When the case came up, the judge asked her for what reason she desired a divorce. "Case," she said, "Judge, it's getting towards wintah time and my ole man jes' won't work when it is cold." "Granted," said the Judge. —That a well known husband saw his best friend go into a prominent buffet flat the other day with a lady heavily veiled, and thinking there would be no objections to him joining the party, immediately followed them into the same place. Upon being admitted, all the joy went out of life for him when he looked into the face of the woman—he fainted. —That a chauffeur who was on trial for running into another car and breaking it to pieces offered the following plea of defense: "You see, Jedge, it was this way, I stay up so late at night courting my gal until I jes' have to sleep some time, and I was asleep when I ran into dat car." The Judge sai, "Lock him up until he gets enough sleep which will take about three months. —That a couple of black boys found a German major wounded and picking him up and putting him on a stretcher they started for the first al station. The major raised himself from the stretcher and sai, "You fellows think you're going to win this war but you ain't." At that one of the bearers said, "You think you're going to the hospital, but you ain't." Draw the veil. —That the other day a Negro and a gang of ruffians became engaged in a scrap and finding himself outmatched in numbers and rapidly being overcome, the colored brother broke and run. As he passed by the gate of a well known sister who is noted for her devoutness who had noted the altercation from afar, she said, "Run, run, Brother Smith, run, and trust God." Brother Smith put on double speed and said, "Trust h—l, I'm going to trust my feet." Naughty, but wise, wasn't he? —That Betty was having trouble with her eyes and went to a Colored Eye Specialist. After his preliminaries, he said, "Madame, were you referred to me by anyone?" "No," replied Betty, "I saw your advertisement in the paper and just came on." "And you have talked to no one whom I had treated?" She answered, "No." The Doctor swelled up all important like and says, "Well, Madame, you are a loyal race woman to come to me without any knowledge of my ability. Few Colored people do that. I congratulate you." Whereupon our Betty replied, "Now, here, Doctor, I don't want that bull, I have had these peddlers and cheap downtown stores to fit glasses to my eyes and got no satisfaction, so I figured you could be no worse. So hurry up, Doctor Horton, and do your do. I got to see what's going on." Moral: Betty now recommends all her friends to Dr. Horton for glasses, 1737 Paseo. Bell Phone East 3744. BISHOP CARTER TAKES OVER $100,000 CHURCH FOR THE C. M. E.'s. The Bishop Delivers a Great Sermon Special to The Kansas City Sun: Chicago, Ill., Nov. 4, 1918. Colored Methodism received a great impetus here last week when Bishop Carter consummated the biggest church bargain that has ever been pulled off in this city and brought to the C. M. E. Connection the big Park Avenue Church on the West Side, which with its equipment is worth $100,000. Services were held in the church Sunday when Bishop N. C. Leaves of Memphis, Tenn., delivered a great sermon, and Editor J. Arthur Hamlett of Jackson, Tenn., spoke Sunday night. Drs. N. L. Smith of St. Louis, W. H. Parker of Gary, Ind.; W. S.

If no street car service is better than a 10-cent fare, we should want, and we propose to shut down within thirty days 150 miles of track.

We are now ready to serve the very best of meals at a reasonable price and urge your hearty co-operation in our new effort. In applying to the Federal Court to take complete jurisdiction over the matter of increased wages and fares The Railways Company is making an effort to comply with the findings of the War Labor Board. The Company has not ASKED for an 8-cent fare, but says in its petition that IF the War Board's order is to be carried out a $7 \frac{1}{2}$ or an 8-cent fare WILL BE NECESSARY TO MEET THE $1,500,000 INCREASE IN WAGES ALONE. The question is between the public and the men. The Company is NOT seeking additional revenue for itself. It expressly declares it is NOT seeking dividends. It only asserts that the revenue must be sufficient to meet the actual cost of operation, otherwise the business cannot continue. "The Kansas City Railways Company made a showing to the Board as to its financial condition, based on an official audit. "The representatives of the employees conceded its substantial accuracy, and the Board extended full opportunity to the representatives of the municipality of Kansas City, Mo., to present any countervailing proof or argument, which was declined. "The Board finds the Company is financially unable, and its general financial codition will not permit it to pay the wages herein awarded to its employees. "The board finds that in order to enable it to put this award into effect the Company should be permitted to make such charges for its service as will produce sufficient income to pay the wages herein specified. "This award is MADE CONDITIONAL UPON THE GRANTING OF AN INCREASE IN THE RATE OF FARE TO BE CHARGED PER PASSenger BY THE COMPANY, and subject to the financial ability of the Company to meet the requirements of the award." "The increase in fares is for the period of the war. "The increase is directed solely because of the immediate pressure for money receipts now to keep the street railways running so that they may meet the local and national demand for their services, and pay the wages to their employees as herein awarded. "In strict justice, the public must pay an adequate war compensation for a service which cannot be rendered except at war prices." The question is between the public and the men. Every dollar of increased fare will go to increased wages for employees. Not a cent goes to stockholders or bondholders. Cheap John's Furniture Co.

STORIES of AMERICAN CITIES New York "Bright Lighters" Have Evolved New Fad New York "Bright Lighters" Have Evolved New Fad NEW YORK—When New York puts the lid on at the curfew hour, the Intest fad for the all-nighters is to go to a restaurant in Columbus circle for a stack of wheats or ham and eggs at 2 a. m. It is a new haven for the lovers of the fox trot and the children of the cabaret and others who are afraid to go home in the dark. John D.

She explained the "hopping" by declaring that Dick was a "bellhop." He was before Justice Sellers on two counts. One dealing with theft of $25 from a Hotel Pontchartrain guest's pocket, the pocket belonging to an overcoat that he was personally conducting to a tailor shop, and the other being in connection with his alleged unkind treatment of the winsome Anna. Anna smiled, sighed, smiled again, and liped that her husband "we didn't wish ever to see him again." She stepped in at Rochester. Richard is d form he must have been cuddy.

Anna thought so anyway and when she ordered ice water Richard took away her heart as a tip. They were married a few days later. Anna went on with her show. Dick came to Detroit, where his mother conducts a restaurant, and got a job at the Pontchartrain. Anna left her show in Dayton and came to Detroit to join her husband. The trouble began, according to Anna, when he suggested that she go to work. Justice Sellers remanded Dick to jail to wait for investigation into Anna's charges. And She Can't Remember Anything About Wedding LOS ANGELES.—"Bigamist, that's what they call me now, because I contracted a marriage of which I knew nothing until it was over," said Laura Josephine Reeves, twenty-two years old, after Justice Hanby had continued the case, charging her with effecting a bigamous marriage with Lyman Alvin Barnes. The proceedings were given a military aspect by the appearance of Barnes at the hearing in the custody of a provost guard. He is being detained by the military authorities on a charge of desertion. "I met Mr. Barnes," said the girl, "and 24 hours later we took an auto mobile ride to Ontario, reaching there I can't stand much liquor—and I can ring, when he told me I was his wife."

Love's Messages Incorporated on Movie Pictures CHICAGO.—In a "movie" theater there is an operator (the chap that looks after the machinery that projects the pictures on the screen) who is deep in love with a fair lassie of the neighborhood, and who by reason of his occu- pation is unable to hold hands as other folks do, any night of the week, especially on Sunday nights, when he is caged up in his little room in the gallery tighter than ever. He has hit upon a scheme of lovemaking, that while not as satisfactory as the personal propinquity plan, nevertheless keeps the malden in the case fairly contented. She comes to the show every evening (professional courtesy), takes a seat where she can get an occasional peep at her best be- loved and then watches the screen.

With sweethearts overseas, or in training camps, and days filled with war work and letter writing, she certainly earns the heart-healing joy that is to be gathered from a new party frock. And the party frock is easier to make at the home than other frocks, excepting, of course, house dresses; it is for this reason not an extravagance in war times. A very pretty model is illustrated here of a frock that ought to inspire any girl with a desire to make it for herself. Crepe georgette, plain and printed, a little taffeta silk and a bit of embroidery in silk make up its analysis so far as materials are concerned. All the sewing, including the long-stitch embroidery, is simple enough. There is an underslip of thin silk to begin with, with a baby waist which takes the place of a corset cover. The skirt of the frock is of Four Hats, Sim These hats are distinctly youthful in design—the breezy young American is written in their smart lines and simple construction. Most of the hats of this character are made of silk or satin—satin is, in fact, in the ascendent—but they may be made of other fabrics, as broadcloth, duvetyn, velvet, and occasionally fur fabrics, or other of the soft and very pliable materials which are used in coats and frocks. For the young woman at school a more appropriate little group could hardly be assembled than the four models shown above. At the top a sprightly small hat is made of satin. It has a soft crown and narrow brim plaited and turned up at the front. Two strands of those colored wooden beads that milliners have so often found a place for on this season's hats are festooned across the front. The tam in all sorts of interpretations, from the most casual to the most dignified of styles, appears in millinery for both maid and matron. At the left a tam made of navy blue tuffeta reminds one of the flat hats of the navy. It has a corded band about the head and many girls can plain crepe georgette hanging straight from a gathered waistline, and the low-necked bodice is of taffeta, such embroidered in motifs at each side. It slips over a chemisette of lace with a collar at the back that disappears under the bodice—a very new and pleasing feature that adds to the becomingness and appropriateness of the frock. An overskirt of wide lace falls to the hem of the crepe skirt and is partially covered with an overdrape of lovely printed crepe georgette. It will be noticed that the skirt is quite long and the neck only moderately low. If there is one thing more than another that returning conquering heroes will admire in the American girls they are prepared to adore it will be a pretty modesty in dress. They will come back prepared to make comparisons. They are already convinced that the Americans are the prettiest and sweetest girls in the world and the girls must see to it that they don't change their minds. nple and Smart wear this shape becomingly. At the right a silk hat has a fine plaited frill about the face and plaited ribbon—pulled out so that only the marks of the plaits are left—is tied about the base of the crown. Hats like these are made in colors to match suits and frocks, or in blacks. Very dark brown and black hold commanding positions in youthful millinery, and these hats are expected to do much service. The remaining hat is a dressier bit of girlish headwear. Its underbrim is faced with shirred crepe georgette, and loops of ribbon cover the smooth fabric on the upper brim, which might be either satin or velvet. Having gone to the extravagance of looped ribbons and shirrings, this hat conserves in the matter of trimming and makes a silk ornament and tassel a faultless finish. Julis Bottomly Friendship. The basis and groundwork of friendship is the forgetting of self through that sympathy which must always exist between friends. HIS PATH ONE OF BLESSINGS Beautiful Legend of "Holy Shadow" Might Well Serve as an Inspiration to All. It is a French legend, so old that we do not know when it was written, or rather when it grew. We may not believe in the miracle giving, but in the heart of the story lies an exquisite pearl of truth. And thus runs the old legend. A very long time ago there dwelt upon the earth a saint so good that the angels themselves came down from heaven to see how any mortal could live so holy and beautiful a life. They found a man going about his daily duty in simple faithfulness, diffusing an atmosphere of love as the star diffuses light, and the flower fragrance without being aware of it. Watching with eager interest, they saw that two words summed up his day. He gave and forgave. Not that these words fell from his lips, but they were expressed in his pleasant smile, in his kindness, for bearance and charity. Then the angels prayed to God, asking, "O Lord, grant him the gift of miracles!" The answer quickly came, "I will; ask him what gift it shall be." So the angels asked the holy man, "Would you like to have the touch of your hands heal the sick?" But he answered, "No; that is God's work." Again they asked, "Would you like to convert guilty souls, and bring back wandering hearts to the right path?" "No," he replied, "that is also the work of God. I pray; I do not convert." "Would you like to become a model of patience, attracting men by the luster of your virtues, thus glorifying God?" Still he answered, "No; if men should become attached to me they would be further from God and estranged from him. The Lord has other means of glorifying himself." Filled with astonishment, they cried: "What, then, do you desire?" The saint smiled, and asked in turn, "What can I wish for? That God give me his grace; with that shall I not have everything?" But the angels insisted that he must choose a miracle, or have one chosen for him. "Very well," he said at length, weary of their importunity. "I wish that I may do a great deal of good without ever knowing it." How were they to carry out such a wish? Finally they hit upon the following plan: Every time the saint's shadow should fall behind him or on either side where he could not see it, this shadow would have the power to cure disease, soothe pain, and comfort the sorrowing. And so the wish was fulfilled. When the dear old man walked abroad, his shadow, thrown on the ground on either side or behind him, made arid paths moist, gave fresh greenness to withered vegetation, brought music to the parched, dried-up brooks, and roses to the pale cheeks of suffering little children, and diffused joy everywhere. The saint went simply about his daily duties, knowing nothing of the blessedness of his falling shadow. At last his very name was forgotten and he was reverently called "The Holy Shadow."—Pittsburgh Dispatch. Ukrainians in Canada. There are about 220,000 Ukrainians in the Canadian Northwest. They began to emigrate from their native land in the '90s. Most of them were farmers, and today they occupy whole counties in Alberta and Saskatchewan. They were not illiterate when they came to America and they have been busily educating themselves during the last 20 years. There is a Ukrainian publishing house in Winnipeg. This concern does not merely issue a foreign language newspaper. It is gradually bringing out reprints of all that is best in Ukrainian literature. The Ukrainian farmer in Canada has a row of well-filled bookshelves such as the average American farmer might not be able to show. Deadly Spiders We have in this country a small spider, commonly known as the "black widow," which is very deadly. It has red spots on its abdomen. There is no question of the fact that its bite is often fatal. Rather odd is the fact that this species of spider is found in most parts of the world. In New Zealand it is called the "katipo;" in Santo Domingo the "red rump." Not only does it kill, but the death it inflicts is inconceivably frightful. The brain is affected, and a dropsy of the skin may distort the victim's features to such an extent as to render him unrecognizable. The Investor's Innings.

WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS Couldn't Scare Prisoner With Man-Made "Spook" WASHINGTON.—Lou Hall, the young woodcutter in the Fairfax county jail, accused of the murder of fourteen-year-old Eva Roy, near Burke Station, Va., has never read a dime novel and is indifferent to the methods employed by the detectives that figure in fiction. It was near midnight when Hall had a caller. He saw his cell door opened and the officers were roughly handling a man who appeared to be a prisoner. "Now get in there," the officers told the prisoner, giving him a push. A quilt for him to sleep on was thrown into the cell, the door was locked and the officers went away. "What treatment?" the prisoner asked Hall after the ordeal. "What have you done?" Hall inquired. "Oh, I just murdered a negro down the road,' you in here for?" "I'm charged with killing a white girl, but I it, because I didn't do it," Hall told him.

This is the slogan of the United States shipping board, which has in hand the great task of creating an adequate personnel for our new merchant marine. In years past, whenever the subject of creating a merchant marine in proportion to the country's commercial importance came up, the question was raised: "How are we going to get men for American ships?" Young Americans had got out of the way of seagoing. The country did not think in terms of ships. Foreign seamen chiefly manned what vessels we had. Our shipyards could not compete with foreign yards. The war has changed all that. The change has been little short of magical. The United States of America now leads the world in shipbuilding. It will soon lead the world with its seagoing citizens. Thousands of young Americans are turning to the sea every month. The old era of the square-riggers, to which friends of the American merchant marine fondly refer, is rapidly being dwarfed by what is taking place in our merchant marine today. As an example of the extraordinary change going on in the matter of crews, may be cited a phenomenal jump in September recruiting for the merchant marine reported by the United States shipping board from Washington, in the following bulletin: The war has changed all that.

As an example of the extraordinary change going on in the matter of crews, may be cited a phenomenal jump in September recruiting for the merchant marine reported by the United States shipping board from Washington, in the following bulletin: An increase of 491 per cent in a month, in the number of recruits for the merchant marine signed on the United States shipping board, was reported by the board. The figures covering four weeks ending September 12, are as follows: Week ending August 29, 913 men; August 29, 1,779; September 5, 2,697; September 12, 4,484. The figures for the latter week exceed by 484 men the number the board had announced as an expected maximum for the month of September. The men are accepted for training as sailors, firemen, coal passers, cooks and stewards, and will be put aboard training ships at Boston, New York, Norfolk, New Orleans, San Francisco, Seattle and Cleveland. Every little while one hears somebody ask, "What is this merchant marine we hear so much about?" Nobody need feel ashamed if he does not readily visualize this new commercial maritime force of the country. The nation for many years past has been building up such an admirable navy that many people confuse the merchant marine with the navy, thinking that all ships are under naval control. The merchant marine is quite distinct from the navy. It is, indeed, a navy in itself—a commercial navy—of vessels engaged in business voyages. The United States shipping board has charge of it, and it is run as a national business organization, much the same as the nation's great railroads are run by the railroad administration. The shipping board consists of five members, men of high training in business affairs, appointed from various parts of the country. Its chairman is Edward N. Hurley of Chicago. Its headquarters are in a business building in Washington. Control is exercised by this board over every merchant ship of more than 2,500 tons sailing under the American flag. The vast shipbuilding program of the country—resulting in "the bridge of ships to Europe," which enables us to send millions of men to the fighting front and sustain them there—is in the hands of the shipping board. The shipbuilding is done by the Emergency Fleet corporation, operated by the board, and directed by Charles M. Schwab, a master mind in the steel world and known from coast to coast as a business genius of the first order. The merchant marine today is American to the core.

American daring and seagoing ability are taking our merchant ships safely across the seas and back again with shuttellike regularity. All this is being done by volunteers, who take up the work because they recognize the greatness of the opportunity to help their country in a new epoch of expansion. The mariner in the merchant marine is not an enlisted man. A scratch of the pen is all that binds him to his job; yet he is as firmly fixed in it as if he were there by the operation of the selective service law. Every man working for the new merchant marine knows that his is not merely a war job, important though his work may be as part of his country's mighty stroke for freedom. The job will last after the return of peace. It becomes, therefore, doubly important.

Ship manning on a much greater scale than that of the present will begin when the war ends, for at that time many merchant ships temporarily American Crews for American Ships THE SHIP'S MASTER SAILOR, JOHN H. MAYER, IN THE DOCK, HELD A ROPE, AND TRAINED THE SAILORS, JOHN H. MAYER, IN THE DOCK, HELD A ROPE, AND TRAINED THE SAILORS. THE MARITIME MUSEUM used for transport purposes will be turned back to their original uses as commerce carriers, and will call for merchant crews. The work of manning the merchant marine with all-American crews thus becomes one of the greatest of the government's present activities. It is being carried out entirely by the United States shipping board through its own recruiting service. This service has national headquarters at Boston—a famous old seaport and a natural center for American sailors—and has training stations also at New York, Norfolk, New Orleans, San Francisco, Seattle and Cleveland. It maintains a fleet of 12 training ships and is training 6,000 men a month. The system of securing recruits for this service—they are not enlisted, but sign a contract to serve for the duration of the war, with the privilege of serving as much longer as they like—is exceedingly simple. Observing the effectiveness of establishing branch post offices in drug stores, the shipping board applied the idea to recruiting and established its recruiting stations in each store of a well-known chain throughout the country. There are 6,854 of these stores, and in each the proprietor or head clerk is sworn in as a "dollar-a-year man" to work for the United States shipping board as a special enrolling agent of the merchant marine. These enrolling agents began their work last spring. They got to going strong in August of this year, as the figures already quoted indicate. The men whom they sign are sent to seaports for training, the government reimbursing them for their railroad fare. The young men entering the merchant marine through the shipping board's training service become the special charges and wards of the shipping board for the duration of the war. Their welfare is looked after from the moment they enter the service. They are placed on board big training vessels, where they are put into uniform—a special uniform, differing from that used in the navy—and are given a scientific course of training in the rating for which they "sign on." Some are trained as sailors, others as firemen, others as cooks or bakers or stewards. For the cooks and bakers special schools are maintained aboard ship, there being one at Boston and another at New York. Firemen are given a special school course also, on the character of coal, combustion, care of boilers and the like. The shipping board maintains a large school for firemen at Chicago and another at Boston. Water-tenders and oilers—the assistants to the engineers on a ship—are also given special school training before being taken to sea, at a Chicago school of engineering. When the young men thus trained—and some are quite young, as the minimum age limit is eighteen—have finished their special courses they are sent to sea on merchant ships, in proportion of four to each six able seamen carried. Afloat or ashore they are responsible always to the shipping board, and every time they return to an American port they report their whereabouts to the recruiting service headquarters. In this manner Uncle Sam keeps a paternal eye on the young men making their first voyages. He knows them, and knows that he can trust them. They are part of a big family of young American sailors of the best sort—Americans whose loyalty is beyond question, and whose bravery and devotion give the lie every day and every hour of the day to cruel slanders that have been circulated since the war began against the character of American merchant crews. The young American merchantman faces grave THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1918 dangers from the hurking submarine without a tremor. The submarine peril has acted only as a stimulus to merchant marine recruiting. These facts make the shipping board hopeful for the future of the merchant marine personnel. It is expected that a large percentage of these wartime sailors will remain in the merchant marine after the return of peace. The inducements for them to do so are many and practical. There is great opportunity for rapid promotion, and the pay is the best in any maritime service in the world. An able seaman today gets $75 a month and his board. During wartime he receives a bonus of 50 per cent on his wages on voyages into the war zone waters of Europe. His life is insured without cost to him to the extent of twice his yearly earnings. His future is assured if he sticks—and the shipping board believes he will stick. It is estimated that not less than 200,000 officers and men will be wanted to man the merchant marine after the war, and it is expected that every man accepted will be an American citizen. The shipping board is training officers as well as crews for the new merchant marine. It has 32 technical schools, in navigation and engineering, where experienced men receive free instruction fitting them for officers' licenses. From June, 1917, when these schools were started, to September, 1918, more than 10,000 students were admitted to them. Every student was an American citizen, fitted to enter by, two years at sea, or, in the case of engineers, equivalent technical experience. Graduates of these schools are on the bridges of American merchant ships today in all of the seven seas, and the present classes of the school contain more than 1,200 students.

Washington Was Wise There is something of poetic justice in the fact that one of the first of the old sluices to be rehabilitated was the Chesapeake and Ohio, the building of which was pushed by General George Washington, who was the first president of the construction company which called it into being. The Father of His Country was so convinced that the future prosperity of the nation had much to do with water transportation by canal that he obtained a leave of absence while he was still commander of the Revolutionary army that he might start the survey for the waterway with which he hoped to connect the waters of the Chesapeake bay with the unsalted Ohio. The project was never realized, even in part, until long after his death, but to this day the canal is a carrier of trade between Cumberland, Md., and Georgetown, in the District of Columbia. It derives its water partly from the Potomac, and if deepened would be of much importance to the national capital. It has for years been under railroad control. The government has now placed additional boats upon it and the lock crews are working night and day. The channel is becoming as busy as it was in Civil war days, when 800 boats, ten times the number which it had when the federal authorities took charge, were in constant operation.—Walter Harrington in the American Review of Reviews.

"I'm no general," the captain replied. "Good morning, colonel," was the next salutation. "I'm no colonel, I am a captain," answered the officer as he gave the rookie the Julius Caesar type of stare.

Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 10 JACOB DECEIVES HIS FATHER. LESSON TEXT—Genesis 27:18-29. GOSLEN I. EXEC Genesis 2:1:38. GOIDEN TEXT-Speak every man truth with his neighbor—Ephesians 4:36. DEVOTION READING-Ephesians 4:25-32. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—Genesis 27:1-45; Proverbs 12:17-20; Zechariah 8:16-17; Acts 5:1-11. I. Isaac's Purpose Regarding the Birthright (27:1-4). The infirmity of old age reminded Isaac that he should set his house in order. The particular matter needing attention was the determination as to who should be the head of the house when he was gone. As to whether Isaac knew what God had told Rebekah concerning Jacob's priority we are not told (Gen. 25:23), but it is evident that he lacked spiritual discernment, being under the sway of his appetite. Even though he was ignorant of God's plan as revealed to Rebekah, Esau's action in marrying heathen women (Gen. 26; 34, 35), ought to have convinced Isaac that Esau was unfit to be the head of the house which was in line of the covenant blessing. II. Rebekah's Scheme to Frustrate Isaac's Plan (vy. 5-17). Having heard Isaac's instructions to Esau, she took steps to divert the father's blessing from Esau to Jacob. She knew it was God's will that Jacob should have the birthright, but had no scruples as to what method should be used in its accomplishment. 1. Rebekah's instructions to Jacob (vv. 5-10). She sent Jacob to bring two kids from the goats, promising that she would make savory meat, such as Isaac loved. She knew that Isaac's weak spot was his stomach. 2. Jacob's hesitancy (vv. 11-17). He foresaw the difficulty and danger which confronted him. His hesitancy was not because he had conscientious scruples against doing the deed, but was afraid of being found out. Some have a desire to do evil, but refrain from it because they are afraid of being caught. Rebekah undertakes to bear the curse that may come, so Jacob's scruples are set aside. She clothes him with Esau's raiment, and places into his hands the food. III. Jacob Deceives Esau (vv. 18-29). 1. Interview between Isaac and Jacob (vv. 18-25). The quickness with which the savory meat was brought, aroused suspicion in the mind of Isaac. In order to allay that suspicion Jacob deliberately lied. He not only lied, but blasphemed the name of God in declaring that his success was due to the help of Jehovah. This lie is again repeated when Isaac questions him further. One lie calls for another. Having started on the road of deception he was obliged to lie in order to cover up his deceit. 2. The paternal blessing (vv. 26-29). It embodied the following particulars: (1) A fertile soil and abundant products (v. 28). Man is dependent upon God for the fruitage of the soil. Few stop to consider their obligation to him for temporal blessings. (2) National pre-eminence (v. 29). God was to give him a numerous and powerful offspring. This has in a large measure been fulfilled, but in a still larger measure it remains to be fulfilled. (3) Pre-eminence among his kindred (v. 29); "The elder shall serve the younger." (4) The object of God's especial care (v. 29). Being God's choice, God obligates himself to care for him. Those who would misuse Jacob would suffer; those who would favor Jacob would be favored. Those who are chosen of God enjoy his special care, and woe be to him who would dare to molest them. This included temporal and spiritual blessings. Happy is he who enjoys the friendship of God. IV. Esau's Remorse (yy. 30:38). Scarcely had Isaac ceased blessing Jacob till Esau came for the blessing. The secret was now out. Lying and deceit cannot long be hid. In the face of what had been done, Isaac shakes with fear. No doubt this is due to the manifest presence of Jehovah. Esau gives forth a terrible wall. While shedding bitter tears of disappointment, he rages with passion and plans to murder Jaeob after Isaac's death. This is a most bitter experience for Esau, but he is merely reaping what he sowed. For a brief indulgence of his flesh he sold his birthright. May Esau his folly warn us of choosing fleshy indulgence rather than spiritual blessings. Whenever one turns from the love of God to the gratification of worldly lusts, he is guilty of Esau's profanity. Source of Power. Only those who are lifted up from the earth draw men unto them. The world is possessed by those who are not possessed by it. The momentum of love is the source of power.—Francis G. Peabody. Sabbath Observance If Sunday had not been observed as a day of rest during the last three centuries, I have not the slightest doubt that we should have been at this moment a poorer people and less civilized.—Macaulay. The Housewife and the War OYSTERS NOW IN SEASON—GOOD MEAT SUBSTITUTE. Rubber Boots Needed to Harvest This Crop. OYSTER NOW IS VALUABLE FOOD At His Best During Months Which Contain Letter R- September to April. UTILIZED IN VARIOUS WAYS Shelfish Are Not on Banned List and Free Use Helps in Saving Meat—Different Waves in Which They The oyster, most popular of all shellfish, is again admitted to a place on the menu. During the summer his popularity wanes, but with the coming of the fall he is again held in high esteem. According to popular belief, the oyster is at his best during the months which contain the letter "R," of from September through April. Naturally a clean and wholesome food, the state and federal governments have made rigid restrictions in connection with oyster farming to prevent any accidental contamination. At the present time the gathering of oysters and their distribution are carried on under sanitary conditions. Valuable as Food. Though the oyster has a high content of water (in this resembling milk one of the most important of foods), it is nevertheless valuable for the nutritive material it supplies and is readily and well assimilated. It may be utilized for food in many ways and has a special value in that a moderate quantity will impart a good oyster flavor to a considerable amount of other food material and so make a very palatable dish at moderate cost. In the seacast regions where they grow, oysters are eaten in large quantities, and are much used in inland towns, because, unlike most fish food, they can be shipped alive. Even a district so remote that it is not easily reached with live oysters can still have them, for they are canned and shipped in large quantities. Oysters can be placed on the list of meat substitutes, as they supply the same kind of food to the body. They may be served in many ways, raw, stewed, broiled, baked, or fried. For the present frying should be avoided as the food administration has advised conservation of fats. But this should not be a handle, as there are many attractive ways in which they can be prepared. Creamed Oysters. - Creamed oysters make very palatable luncheon or supper dish. 1 pint oysters 2 cupful liquid (oys) 3 tablespoonfuls fat 2 ter liquor and 4 cupful flour milk Melt the butter and add the flour, salt, and pepper. Stir over the fire until well mixed, being careful not to brown. Add the liquid gradually and cook until thick and smooth. Add the oysters and cook until the oysters are plump and the edges begin to curl. Serve on toast. If it is desired to serve the dish on some special occasion, the oysters may be served in patty shells. A little chopped cherry sprinkled over the top adds to the attractiveness. **Oyster Scallop.** 3 cupfuls cooked 1 tablespoonful rice 1 pint fresh oysters 1 tablespoonful fat 1 cupful chopped ½ teaspoonful salt 1 calery ½ teaspoonful peper 1 cupful milk Make a white sauce by melting the fat, stirring in the cornstarch, salt and pepper, then adding the milk. Stir over the fire until thickened. Arrange in a baking dish alternate layers of rice, oysters, celery, and white sauce until the dish is nearly full. Let a layer of rice cover the tep. Make for 20 minutes in a moderate oven. Oyster Potpie. 1 pint oysters ½ cupful cold water ¾ teaspoonful salt 1 teaspoonful lemon ¾ teaspoonful pep- juice Put the oysters on to cook with salt and pepper. Stir in the cornstarch dissolved in the cold water and cook Oyster Scallop. Oyster Potpie. until thick. Add the lemon juice and pour into a baking dish. Cut the biscuits and place them on top. Bake until the biscuits are brown. The biscuits for the potpie are better if they are very short. Bacon fat makes a very tasty biscuit to be used in this way. Oyster Fritters. Drain one pint of oysters. Dip in a fritter batter. Put a couple of tablespoonfuls of bacon fat into frying pan. When smoking hot, drop in the oyster and cook until brown on both sides. This will take the place of oysters cooked in deep fat without using large quantities of fat. Careful Storage Saves Vegetables. Sweet potatoes may be kept until January if cleaned, dried, and packed in chaff so that they will not touch one another. Potatoes are kept without difficulty in a cool, dry, and dark place. Sprouts should not be allowed to grow in the spring. Carrots, parsnips, and turnips, etc. remain plump and fresh if placed in earth or sand-filled boxes on the cellar floor. Pumpkins and squash must be thoroughly ripe and mature to keep well. They should be dried from time to time with a cloth and kept, not on the cellar floor, but on a shelf, and well separated. Cabbages should be placed in barrels, with the roots uppermost. Celery should be neither trimmed nor washed, but packed, heads up, in long, deep boxes, which should then be filled with dry earth. Tomatoes may be kept until January if gathered just before frost, wiped dry, and placed on straw-covered racks in the cellar. They should be firm and well-grown specimens, not yet beginning to turn. As they ripen they may be taken out for table use, and any soft or decaying ones must be removed. Apples, if for use during the autumn, may be stored in barrels; but if they are to be kept till late winter or spring they must be of a variety known to keep well and they must be hand-picked and without blemish or bruise. They should be wiped dry and placed with little crowding on shelves in the cellar. As a further precaution they may be wrapped separately in soft paper. Pears may be kept for a limited time in the same way, or packed in saltdust or chaff, which absorbs the moisture that might otherwise cause molding. Oranges and lemons are kept in the same way. Wrapping in soft paper is essential, as the uncovered skins if bruised offer good feeding ground for mold. Oranges may be kept for a long time in good condition if stored where it is very cold but where freezing is not possible. Lemons and limes are often kept in brine, an old-fashioned household method. Cranberries, after careful looking over to remove soft ones, are placed in a crock or firkin and covered with water. A plate or round board placed on top and weighted serves to keep the berries under water. The water should be changed once a month. Careful Washing Saves Clothing. Shortage of cotton for wearing material with its consequent high price has made the housewife take an unusual interest in the conservation of garments. Conservation in cotton cloth means saving a war material as well as the money and labor necessary to replace the garment. The original appearance of an article made of colored material may be kept if due precautions are observed. Buy cloth which has the color dyed in the piece or dye before weaving rather than a printed pattern. Set the color by soaking for at least an hour in salt water made in the proportion of two tablespoonfuls of salt to a quart of water. Avoid high temperatures, because they make colored goods streaked. Bolling, or ironing with too hot an iron is a cause of fading and streaking. Do not use strong soaps, as they dull the color and often the alkali in them causes the color to run. Wash each garment separately and thus avoid any possibilities of dulling or changing shade by mixing colors. Dry in the shade to avoid fading action of direct sunlight. & 2 ¥ 4 4 a us SF; i REV. J.

CHURCH CLOSING EDICT. By Rev. J. R. Richardson, Kansas City, Kas, | Every edict issued closing the ‘Temple of God and abandoning the ‘house and Church from Nehemiah’s ‘day in all ages among all peoples has been made by the enemies, Neh, 13:11. | During the foreign administration, the temple was closed many times, and for years at a time, but by the enemies such as Pagan Monarchs and antkworsbippers and believers. Often ‘these were high anti-Church men, but they were all enemies, and bitter rul- ing opposers of divine worship. Christ fond the high Church men standing fas an obstruction in the door, They ‘had time to go in, and should have, ‘but they would not; neither would ‘they allow others, They had the keys. Matt. 23:15. Luke 11:52. What prognosticates can tell what is the next epidemic to follow influenza? What if an epidemte of smallpox, then yellow fever, then cholera, then dip: ‘theria shall follow? Shall the churches ‘remain closed? The Church, the hand that feeds the thousands of mission- ‘aries and the hungry millions on the home and foreign fields, must stay closed? The closed Church, the light of the world, must remain shut up by an edict of men who probably never enter one unless on an emergency call. Shall the schools and seminaries re- main closed and the pool halls, saloons and other crime and disease breeding institutions stay open? What would become of the thousands of poor Church dependents at home? This Anti-Christian Church closing edict is far reaching; it is the beginning of what is to follow. Arid only a people sleeping in cold worldly conformity and commercialized stupor would sub- mit to it. All they need is a soul to lead them and a legal official to sign the decree. Acts 8:1-3; 9:1-8. Tom Paine and Ingersoll are not, dead any more than the alien enemies of America, The pay-patriot of Amer- fee is more enthused than the pay- Christian patriot.
