Metropolis Weekly Gazette

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE HODGES PARK Bro Editor: —We wish to speak through the paper to the W. E, & M. Societies of the Mt. Olive Baptist District. The time is near approaching that each local auxiliary of the W. E. and M. are asked to send something for education. And this department should be remembered by the S. S's. and B. Y. P. U's. Each auxiliary is requested to send something for this work. My dears, this problem is up to us and since we have lost the Livingston building we need to apply ourselves to labor and prayer and get together for the purpose of building up and laying plans in a systematic way to do something. Let us not lay dormant on this matter but be interested, wake up and stir as never before. It has been said that the Livingston School was a failure; but we know that there is opposition and competition in work of every kind, but let us not fight against ourselves and our best interest, for as a race we are successful, but let us work to continue successful. What do we care for discouragement? We have the perseverance to do things and the endurance to last, and that is what wins. We get our lessons for the future from the records of the past. We have succeeded and can succeed again. Let's send something to the convention in June for the educational treasury and A. Dr. Geo. A. Stewart Announces for Coroner. In this issue of The Gazette will be found the announcement of Dr. Ceo. A. Stewart, as a candidate for coroner on the Republican ticket. He is a practicing physician and is well qualified for the office, and ask the readers of this paper to give him a fair consideration. REQUEST. Every church and pastor in the district are requested to send us in a donation of $2.00 on the 3rd Sunday in July to help the Unity Baptist church, Brookport which is struggling with a large debt, and trying to put a roof on our building. You can do this without material injury to yourself or church and it will be a big help to us. MOTTO : 'HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY ' To The Voters of the Fifty-First Senatorial Distrist; M. HON. ORAL P. TUTTLE Having announced my candidacy for re-election to the Legilature, I deem it necessary that I make known my position on a few of the most important questions that are before the people of Illinois. This statement is not only necessary, but it is due to the people of Illinois from whom I am asking support and should be made in justice to my candidacy. In the first place I desire to state that my present term as your Representative is my first and as a matter of fact has been a wonderful help to me in familiarizing myself with the workings of the Legislature. In fact it has proven a school of education for me in in many ways; In fact it has given me an insight to absorbing important questions that are snre to come up for final settlement during the next session. I naturally feel that should I meet with favor at your hands, and am successful in my canvass in this campaign, that I will be more able and better qualified to serve my constituency than I did before my first term. My record while at Springfield as your Representative is open for inspection to all. I did my best to serve my people as they would have me do, and that is a source of great satisfaction to me. Epecially have I been pleased with favorable comment regarding my actions by many citizens who have made it a point to scrutinize my record. In my opinion the amendment to the State Constitution, which provides for a change in our tax laws is the most important question now before the people. There is pending in Illinois to be voted on November 8, 1916, at the general election, an Amendment to the Revenue Article of the State Constituration, submitted to the 49th Generul Assembly and designed to authorize future General Assemblies to revise our unworkable and unequal personal tax laws. Tax dodging in Illinois has become notorious. Largely as a result of this there is a general complaint of undue and increasing burdens on real estate of double taxation; of inequality of tax burdens; of inadexuate public revenues and of 'burdens falling upon the weak and the unwary while the shrewed and powerful escape.' Should the people uphold this proposed amendment and vote it next November, it will then devolve upon the next legislature to vote an amendment to the State Constitution, changing our present taxation, and I am fort that amendment with all my force. Then, too, I am in favor of a Constitutional Convention, for the purpose of revising the State Constitution. This must come sooner or later, and in my judgment the sooner this important matter is settled the better it will be for the entire state. I am opposed to unnecessary commissions and boards and favor the abolishment of all such commissions. I am against the creating of any commissions or boards not recommended by the Governor in his message to the Legislature. The good roads question is the most important of all outside of the tax question in Illinois, and which meets with my hearty approval, and my vote will always be cast for any measure that has for its purpose the improving of our public highways. Especially in my individual district aae better roads needed, and as stated above, all steps in that direction will have my support. The primary laws, will in time, be changed, and they should be. I am in favor of a law which will bring the presidential, state and county primaay elections all inone day, thus saving the tax payer an exorbitant expense in holding elections, as the records show such an increase. There are many questions of minor importance that will be before the next General Assembly, which, I need not mention here, but my constituency can rest assured that my vote, should I be returned as your representative, will be to cast in favor of the people of my district. As stated earlier in this letter, my first experience as your servant at Springfield, gave me a knowledge that will be wonderfully beneficial to me should I be returned. The voters can rest assured that I will be watchful of their best interest. I will perform my duty in the same careful way I did during my first term, tested and found not wanting. I am deeply grateful to every voter who favored me with his vote in my canvass two years ago. I ask the support of the voters this year, promising as a above stated a faithful performance of the duties imposed upon me. Any question that you may have to ask me will be quickly and cheerfully complied with. I will make an effort to meet you personally during the year, but should I be deprived of that pleasure through any cause, please remember that I want your support and that I will appreciate the same. SPARTA. I am glad to speak through the columns of your paper concerning our church and Sunday School which was opened at 9:30 by the Supt., J. J. Taylor. The teachers were at their post and each class was made interesting. The delegate Miss Rachel Smith, having returned from the Sunday School convention, which convened in Carbodale, made her report and the same was full interest and satisfaction to the S. S. At 11:00 Rev. P.B. French, ascended the rostrum and preached a good sermon from Matthew 19:27 At 3:00 the hour for all the churches of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association to hold Memorial services in memory of the life and works of Elders J. H. Knowles, D. D of Cairo, and H. Allison, of Centralia, Rev. French. read Ist Tim 6:12 from which many beautiful expressions were made and then Rev. M E. Parnell of Coulterville made some remarks afterwhich the Lord's supper was administered. At 7:30 our pastor preached another strong sermon from Josh. 2:6. Rev. Parnell was with us all day and rendered valuable service. We raised $10.40 during the day. The sewing circle will be royally entertained at the home of Mrs. Anna Owens. The Cvrnation club will entertained at the home of Mrs. Mattie Haynes, this week. Mrs. Mattie Haynes, and Mrs. Sallie Williams were St. Louis, visitors last week. Miss Amanda Haynes and Mrs. Mattie Haynes reported a nice time at the S, S. and B. Y. P. U. Conventions held at Carbondale. Mrs. Dora Worthom is indisposed this week. Wm A. PORTER. DEAD On June 30th, 1916 Almighty God called to his reward, the late William A. Porter, who was born in St. Louis, Mo., March 12th 1887. Died at the age of 29 years 3 months 18 days after 17 months illness. He was of a cheerful, sympathetic disposition, loving every one, speaking kind of all. He was conscious to the last, and with his last breath said, Tell the world I am going to meet my Saviour. The funeral was held on Sunday July 2nd, from St. Paul A. M. E. church, Metropolis. The interment was in the Odd Fellows Cemetery. He leaves to mourn their lost, a wife, daughter, mother and a host of relatives and friends. Peace to his ashes. Your servant, ORAL P. TUTTLE. Burned to Death While in Jail "Red" Leonard Held For Murder by Coroner's Jury Walter Fisher, (white) of Choat, was placed in jail the 4th July on a charge of plain drunk and bootlegging. That night while asleep and still in a drunken stupor "Red" Leonard, who was locked in the cell for a violation of law secured some turpentine or disinfectant, saturated Fisher's clothing while asleep and lighted a piece of paper and threw it upon Fisher, who was on the outside of the cage. He was burned so badly that he died July 5th in the afternoon. Fisher, was about 35 years old and had a family. All parties are white, and is a sad jaffair indeed in this civilized age. CARD OF THANKS. To our many friends who by spoken and written words and by beautiful floral offering, comforted and helped to break the stroke that fell upon us in the loss of our beloved husband, father and son To the Ministerial friends who shared services. To St. Paul A. M. E church and members. To all who in any way shared our sorrow, we wish to give assurance of our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude. Mrs. Wm A. Porter and daughter. Mr. C. T. Roberts and family, Mrs. Mary Rose and family Notice is hereby given that the Mt. Olive Baptist Institute will hold a meeting with First Missionary Baptist church, Goand Chain, Ill., Saturday and Sunday July 23-24. Let all superintendents, teachers and officers of the S. S. and B. Y. P. U.'s meet us on the above named date. Some will have to leave home on Friday to be present on Saturday morning. Come prepared to take a part in the discussions of the topics. Watch for program. J. W. Corneal, Fres. Rev. B. McCrary. Institute Conductor. GRAND CHAIN. Rev. J. B. McCrary, Metropolis, Ill., Institute conductor, of the Mt. Olive Baptist S. S. convention. This is to inform you that the 1st Baptist church, of Grand Chain, will be much pleased to entertain the Institute on Saturday and Sunday July 23-24. Respectfully yours, Maud Lee, Clerk, Rev. Joseph Fields, Pastor. Shocked by Lightning Gus Blakemore, was shocked by leightning and badly burned from head to foot about 3:30 Monday during an electrical storm. He was knocked down on the sidewalk and rendered unconscious for a while and was declared to be dead and the coroner and untotaler sent for, but ere they arrived he came to life, and the doctor arrived and treated him and he was taken home on a cot, where his clothing were removed end it was found that he was badly burned from head to foot, his sock was even bured but none of his outer garments were scorched. He may never be entirely well, though he is resting fairly well at this writing. It was a close call, one which he will not soon forget and should be a warning to him and all others to be ready when the summons comes to meet their God. Bazaar Club Rally The Ladies Bazaar Club rally of Unity Baptist Church Brookport, was a great success last Sunday when taken in consideration the small number of members who are active workers and the amount of work that is in the city. The president Mrs. Eliza Baker had her committees so arranged in a way that they performed their duty just like clock work. The basket dinner was spread on tables in the apple blossom grove in the rear of the church and every one enjoyed themselves. Rev. J. M. Blaks preached three very excellent sermons in the basement of the new church building, although the roof is not on the building, yet the officers had placed boards on the floor of the auditorium so as to prevent the sun from interfering with the services below. This was the first time services had been held in the new church edifice, and it certainly gave new inspiration, the sisters reported $33.43 at the close of the the days services which stands to their credit. The president and club members wish to extend a vote a thanks and appreciation to those who contributed in any way to make the rally and basket dinner a success. This club is composed of the members of the Methodist church, also sinners who feel that it is right to work for better churches in Brookport. Rev. J. M. Blake, is quite feeble but he rendered valuable service Sunday and the same was highly appreciated by all, and he is invited to come again. Rev. Geo. Crippens of Metropolis and Rev. J. H. Yarbrough, of Unionville were with during the day and Rev. Yarbrough will preach for the church next Sunday. The 3rd Sunday in July there is to be a $1. rally and we have out one hundred gleaners to be brought in on that day and we urge every one to come and take a part with us and help us to raise money enough to purchase the material for roofing our church.

The tale is not much, Nor known in the annals of war; it was told in a breath By the fires of the camp; it was only —devotion and death. There were many of such. The hero—I know You would not have called him a hero —at least, ere he gave His life for the flag, like a freeman; for he was a slave, And ignorant, low In the scale of humanity's worth, as the bulk of his race; But he filled a man's place. They fled from the foe, Outnumbered and bleeding, and leaped to a boat by the shore. But it sank on the shoal; they must push it away, if it bore Their number; then lo! Before they could ask "Who does it?" or soldier could spring from the sheltering side. Already a Negro was leaping. "Till do it!" he cried. And bent to the task. And bent to the task. "You soldiers can fight for the flag! You must all get away! Who cares if I stay?" Ah, stalwart to serve, The arms that had toiled in the cotton! He gave, to the last. The sum of his strength; for the fugitives' peril was past. For his soul did not swerve. Uncomely the clay Uncomely the clay Whereof he was fashioned-yet now. Whereof he was fashioned—yet now, when bullets had rent when bullets had reent. A sevenfold way for the life that he gave with content, It seemed, where he lay, As if honor impartial had claimed him —to count him apart, With the sons of her heart! —Grace Agnes Timmerman. "I am inclined to think that the mind of the Negro has been too long centered on himself," declared Prof. I. M. Terrell in an address delivered at Houston, Tex. "He has been disposed to determine the worth or worthiness of a movement by the direct good he was to derive from it. We can no longer afford to measure the value of things in terms of our own direct benefits. So long as we continue to do this, we may never hope to be counted in fact a part of this great country; nor can we expect to demand and receive equal rights and privileges. An individual or race that falls in the performance of duty forfeits all claims to any rights, for duty is paramount to all rights. And you may be assured if you perform your duty, your rights and privileges will follow. It is our duty to prepare ourselves to live the fullest possible lives; to be of the greatest use to the community in which we happen to live and to the state and country at large. It is our duty to take advantage of every opportunity to improve ourselves to the end that society generally will feel us less and less a burden or liability and more and more an asset. "As fast as the white people of Houston or any other city or town are convinced that you are responding to the opportunities and advantages offered, they are willing and are going to extend them; and so, after all, it is up to us as to what rights and privileges we shall enjoy. A wise use of those granted is certain to open up new ones. I know that in every instance where wisdom has governed the A Bible presented to President Lincoln in 1864 by Negroes in Baltimore as a token of their appreciation for the part he took in the emancipation of their race, has been received at Nashville, Tenn., as the gift of Robert T. Lincoln to Fisk university, the local educational institution for Negroes. The gift was announced by the president of the university, Dr. F. A. McKenzie. Mr. Lincoln says in his letter to President McKenzie: "Please express the pleasure that I have in requesting Fisk university to accept the permanent custody of the very interesting Bible presented to my father by a large number of colored persons as a testimonial of their feelings upon the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. It has seemed to me better that this notable testimonial should be preserved in some institute where its resting place will be permanent, and I can think of no more fitting selection than the institution founded by Gen. Clinton Bowen Fisk, immediately upon completing a distinguished military service in the war which resulted in the abolition of human slavery in our country." No great war of our time has ended during the winter months, nor, with the exception of the Russo-Japanese war, has any begun then. For a century all wars have begun in the spring, summer or early autumn and ended between March and August. The American hen produced during the last census year nearly 20,000,000,000 eggs, and the product has been increasing since that time. Winter temperature of Cuba ranges from 60 to 85 degrees. action of the Negro he has received the encouragement and assistance of the white people. "In concluding my remarks, I wish to exhort all, especially those who have achieved these new honors, that at bottom and as the basis of all life and progress must rest the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. Except we eliminate all deceit and selfishness and get right down to the good old way and not only say we are willing to do so, but actually treat every man as we would like to be treated, there is no way to escape friction and disruption. "I hope the day has dawned when every member of my race will see the wisdom of being upright, honest, reliable and intelligent so that he will have the respect and confidence of the better element of all races. If we are to play the important role in the industrial and economic development of our state and country which it is possible for us to do, we must learn to be more dependable; for labor that is nondependable, that cannot be relied on, is certain to be replaced by other and more reliable labor. When all men shall have reached the point that they will quit trying to deceive each other and remember that honesty is the best policy, we will then be on the road to a better mutual understanding and therefore to a better racial relationship. Let this occasion be an incentive to all for a higher faith in the ultimate outcome of mankind." The refusal of congress to provide for additional Negro regiments in the enlarged army has received a rebuke from Governor Whitman of New York. He has authorized the enlistment of a colored regiment of the National Guard of the Empire State, and the heartening part of it is that, whereas four years ago a similar proposition was strongly opposed by the guardsmen, they support the governor's action today. The Negroes, according to the New York Press, promise that their regiment will be recruited with expedition and that their soldiery "will speedily prove itself worthy of comparison with the whites in loyalty, discipline, alertness and endurance." We pointed out, the other day, that the colored troops now in Mexico were demonstrating just that; indeed, that they were among the best American fighting stock south of the Rio Grande. Of course this is nothing new. The record of the Negro soldiery in the Civil war, when 180,000 fought to preserve the Union, was splendid in every respect. So was its record in our war with Spain. In short, the Negro has won the right through sacrifice and efficiency to be considered an active part of our national defense. If the great state of New York relies upon its colored stock to make satisfactory guardsmen, what a disgrace for the national congress, if, because of sectional hatred, it refuses to consider the ready and willing Negro for the regular army!-Milwaukee Free Press. An Irish author who has recently published a fifth-century romance insists that the "O" of his name (O'Sullivan) should not be capitalized because it is a corruption of the Gaelic word "us," meaning "the descendant of." He avers that both the apostrophe and the hyphen are recent intrusions in the field of human nomenclature. Through J. P. Rawley, a map publisher of 856 Broadway, a campaign to raise $50,000, for increasing the equipment of the Slater Industrial School for Negroes at Winston-Salem, N. C., has spread to New York. A letter sent out by William A. Blair, vice president and cashier of the People's National bank, Winston-Salem, says: "The influence of the school has eliminated every vestige of race friction in the entire vicinity. The institution is not an experiment but a splendid reality, being the most important one in the entire South for colored people, save Tuskegee and Hampton—New York Sun. Most of the so-called chicory now being used in Italy, is made of dried figs. It is said that dried figs are at least as good for this purpose as chicory, and are now in great demand.

Boys and girls generally take an interest in such work and it is an easy matter to lead them to plant seeds and to The Art of Seeing Things By WALTER DUNNET of Chicago The art of seeing things is not sufficiently defined by saying that the one who keeps his eyes open can discover elements of attraction in objects around him. A more exact and subtle meaning may be attached to it. It implies that a person's discerning faculty is educated up to such a standard that he can at once recognize the interesting in the fields of science, art or commerce. This is an invaluable possession for anyone in this age of unprecedented progress, when great enterprises have to be accomplished in a limited time and under peculiar conditions and where quickness of insight, involving corresponding quickness of action, is a dominant factor. It may be said that the man of commonplace intelligence can see as far into a stone as the man of science. But not necessarily so. Both may observe the same object externally, but the scientist, with his intellectual insight quickened by observation and learning, can read into the age, composition and general structure of the stone that which would be impossible to the man of untrained mental power. It is the privilege and duty of all to acquire the art of seeing things and thus find sermons in stones and food for thought in the environments of one's daily life. 20 minutes.

STAR OF FILMDOM ? Jockie Saunders. Popular movie actress who is starred in the "Grip of Evil." An electrocution trap for insects is one of the latest inventions to bring comfort to mankind. Now it will be possible to sit reading in peace on your porch at night while the electrocution trap kills off the insects that would naturally seek you as their prey. Upon an insulated frame two naked metal conductors are coiled in a spiral with sufficient space between the windings. The two conductors are connected with a source of electricity in such a manner that the current cannot circulate until it is actually used in killing an insect. This is one of the advantages of the invention, for in this way no current can be wasted. Insects may be attracted to the electrocution either by water or by any other attractive substance. At night time electric lights are the best. As quickly as an insect touches the bait or the light and comes in contact with any two of the live wires they drop down into the bottom of the trap. The current is very slight and passes through the insect only for a moment. Vogue for Ribbon. The pictueque style of dress of today necessitates the use of ribbons for decorative purposes, and so beautiful are they that it would seem as though women could never have enough of them. Sometimes entire skirts are composed of them, as well as hats. They are used for sashes, draperies, muffs and stoles. Again, they are converted into pretty little boleros, and the new suggestions in neckwear are fashioned of them. Diminutive bows are seen on the front of stockings, and then there are the rosebud garters, as well as latticework ones, in which small ribbon flowers are strewed with artistic negligence.

From 1900 to 1906 he demonstrated to Europe the possibility of conquering the air with the dirigible balloon as well as with the aeroplane.

Flag for Old Vincennes The city council of Vincennes, Ind., is considering the adoption of a flag for Vincennes to be used as the city's official emblem during the coming Indiana centennial celebration, says the Indianapolis News. The suggested design is intended to set forth the British rule of Vincennes by an old English red "V" in the blue center and the French control by a white fleur-de-lis, which was the national emblem of France during the time this territory was under the French government.

"Flaming Hand" Shooting From Sky Alarms the Superstitious The "Flaming Hand" That Baffles Scientists. The "Flaming Hand" is the name given to an unaccountable bit of meteor which today is puzzling scientists. This remarkable object fell on the farm of Henry Prantl of Bakersville, N.J., exactly one month after the death of his son Rudolph. This coincidence led to the belief among superstitious neighbors that it came as an omen. The bit of meteor was sizzling hot when it fell and did not cool for hours. What baffles scientists who have viewed it is the fact that the material of which it is composed is unlike other meteoric compositions that have BEAUTY HINTS Air Baths for Hair It is more difficult to keep the hair in good condition in the summer than during the winter. In the warmer months of the year there is more dust in the air. Women spend a large percentage of their time in the open air where there are winds and hot rays from the sun to test the quality of its color and fiber. But if it is a greater task to keep the hair in condition during the summer, it is also possible to improve its texture and strengthen it then. Cleanlineas is the first essential to the growth of luxuriant hair. Hair, like the body from which it springs, thrives on fresh air. It is a fine thing to shampoo the head and then permit the hair to dry naturally in the pure air to be found only outdoors or in front of an open window. The air has cleaning qualities that are all its own. They invigorate and promote the health, which makes it beautiful. Women motor more in the summer than any other season. Limousnes are deserted for toppless road cars. Tennis, golf and other games keep women out of doors. In each instance the hair is under a greater test than in the drawing room. The necessity for shampooing becomes more frequent if the scalp is to be kept free from harmful accumulations that retard growth and reduce strength. The hair derives its nourishment from the scalp and each washing removes a certain amount of nutriment. With the oily substances removed, it is difficult to arrange a graceful collure. When the natural oils are limited in quantity, it often becomes necessary to apply something of this sort when the head is shampooed at frequent intervals. The hair should be given ample protection in the summer. Veils of light texture are available and not only keep the hair neat, but also give it protection from dust, winds and the sun's rays. They are certainly comfortable motor accessories. A veil adds to the comfort of any woman who is traveling, and it is a good thing to have around at all times. God's Jewels. I love the little stars the best That gleam with modest light. The tiny orbs that hardly show Upon the breast of night. I choose the blossoms wee that spring In hidden nooks and aisles; I crave their glad humility. The sweetness of their smiles. The shy bird of the forest To me is doubly dear; More than the eagle's boldness Its sad reproof I fear. Not in extent and vastness Did God his jewels mold, I love the meek and shrinking More than the proud and bold. —W. H. Chamberlain, in Spring- field Republican. ..... Reluvenating a Tobacco Pipe. To make an old tobacco pipe as good as new, plug the stem with a bit of match, fill the bowl with alcohol, light and let burn.

It is light in weight and resembles the hand of a human being grasping something as if in anguish. The "thumb" and "little finger" are exceptionally long and there are nails on some of the "fingers." The first, middle and ring "fingers" are drawn closely together as though in pain. What corresponds to the wrist has the appearance of having been burnt off and shows black charred edges. All great movements, whether for good or for evil, originate in the mind of some leader, and so important is this man that these movements are often known for thousands of years by his name. Christianity, Mohammedanism and the other great religions of the world bear testimony to this fact. All great inventions and enterprises not only have their origin in the mind of some leader, but they must be carried out under competent leadership. There is no factor that comes to the front at so many points as leadership; for it is not only the man who conceives the idea of an enterprise that must be a leader, but so must be all of those under him who have to direct the activities of other men. The manager, the superintendent and the foreman must all be leaders if they would get the best results. If we would stand at the head of industry we must develop such methods of training our leaders as will enable them to command the confidence and support of the men with whom they have to deal. This subject has been given but little attention in the past, and in consequence our leaders have been largely selected at random, with the result that there are in this country no generally accepted principles of industrialism along the lines of which advancement can best be made. Not until we have determined the principles on which industrial development must be based and accepted the lines along which our leaders must be trained can we expect any harmonious development.—Engineering Magazine. 1920 POULTRY NOTES Don't forget to disinfect the incubator after each hatch with some good coal tar disinfectant. Then let it air out for a day or two with the heat on before putting more eggs in. Half-matured chicks cannot stand the hot summer sun, and ducks much less. Trees or bushes are fine. But if nature has not favored you, make a refuge of boards, lath or brush. Shade is the main thing, not style. Don't try to feed the little ducklings dry food like you do chickens, but give them moistened mashes containing a little grit, a little charcoal and a little meat food. Ducks seldom lay after June, but they begin laying very early in the year, frequently as early as January. If well cared for some will lay eggs nearly every day. Incubate only good-sized eggs. weighing not less than two ounces each and of a color characteristic of the breed. Abnormally large or small eggs should not be hatched. When the eggs for hatching are purchased it is advisable to dip them into a 32 per cent solution of alcohol or in a 2 per cent or 3 per cent solution of some standard disinfectant, because sometimes disease germs adhere to the outside of the shell. Feed grit to aid digestion by grinding the food; shell and bone to supply lime for bone development; charcoal to keep digestion in order.

"BIG LITTLE MAN" OF GAME Rabbit Maranville, Phenomenal Short-fielder of Boston Braves, is Miniature Edition of Wagner. Rabbit Maranville, the phenomenal shortstop of the Boston Braves, standing about five feet two inches in height and tipping the beam at a little more than a hundred pounds, is the "biggest little man" known to the great national game, and it is no other personage than Maranville himself who comes to the front with the assertion that some day, and that not far away, people are going to think him even bigger. Since joining the team he has done wonders to bolster the Braves' infield. D Rabbit Maranville. which before 1913 was conceded to be about the weakest in the National league. Maranville is a "hundred-pound" edition of Hans Wagner. He is here, there, and everywhere and the beauty about it is he is always at the right place at the proper time. He perhaps more than any other player in the game today, has the peculiar instinct of knowing where the ball is going, and if it is anywhere within his reach he's going to get it. What is more, Maranville has proved to be an accurate thrower, for seldom does he break into the error column because of a wild peg. Dame Fashion Says You may have a dress distinctly original, by painting some simple motif in oils on the hem or in allover design. A dark blue straw hat, with the crown garnished with light-gray ribbon is a favorite color scheme of the moment. Brown is distinctly in favor for quaint taffeta dresses—wood brown, tete de negre, cinnamon and vandyke are all favored tones. Short-frilled basques are becomingly worn on many of the smart taffeta coats seen, over full taffeta skirts. Mole fur is a favorite for summer wear, partly on account of its neutral color. Some Things That Are New. From the speed at which earthquake waves travel through the earth an English scientist has constructed a theory that the world has a dense central core, which may be measured in time. Lever operated clamps for the hands and feet have been invented in England to take the place of ankle spikes for pole climbers, with the added advantage that they can be used on metal poles. Ventilation is provided in a new stiff hat for men by perforating the body under the ribbon with a large number of holes and fluting the sweatband vertically to cause currents of air to circulate. In line with experiments with are lamps in which the expense of trimming and cleaning is reduced one has been invented in which tungsten electrodes are inclosed in a crystalline chamber. An artificial coffee is being made in Austria from figs, dried either in the sun or evaporating pans, ground into powder and then compressed into tablets, to be dissolved in hot water when desired.

SPOHN MEDICAL CO., Chemiata, Goshen, Ind., U. S. A. GOLD IN EASTERN STATES With Silver and Other Metals Year's Production is Around $30,000,000. Not all of the gold of this country comes from Alaska and the Rocky Mountain states. A good-sized jump of it, more than 10,000 ounces, worth $224,250, is dug out of the mountains here in the East, remarks the New York Sun. Gold hunters dreamed for years of hidden wealth of yellow metal in the southern part of the Appalachian range. Some of them stopped dreaming and went to work, missing an Eldorado but gaining enough profit to pay well for their daily labor. As a result 59 gold and placer mines and 24 deep gold mines have been developed. The most productive of these are in North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. The last-named state has not done so well as in some previous years, but both the others have exceeded the production of 1914. The largest placer mine is in Rutherford county, North Carolina, and the most productive deep mine in Montgomery county, in the same state. But the whole story of metal mining in the East is not told in the quest for gold. Besides this precious mineral, silver, copper, lead and zinc have been produced in quantities sufficient to make a total last year of almost thirty million dollars. This is nearly three times the value of the preceding year's production, the increase in gold alone being more than fifty thousand dollars.

They can stay under water a long time, and when they come to the surface they send little jets of spray from their nostrils. The cow is devoted to the calf.

PLANT GAME FISH IN STATE WATERS NEW COMMISSION BUILDS HATCH ERY AND DISTRIBUTES 18,750,000 FRY. PLANT IS AT SPRING GROVE Bass and Pike Porch Stock Lakes and Streame to Furnish Sport for Anglers—Buffalo to Be Hatched at Havana. In the last eighteen months the Illinois game and fish conservation commission has created and developed a practical fisheries bureau that is hatching and distributing great quantities of young fish at a cost that will compare favorable with that of the federal bureau of fisheries, or any of the states. This progress is described in a report on fish distribution made to Governor Dunne. At present the commission must rely chiefly for its supply of young fish on the Spring Grove hatchery, which has grown to its present capacity for producing fish within two seasons. This plant includes a modern building, where pike perch, brook trout and rainbow trout are hatched; a 24-acre breeding pond for black bass, two rearing ponds of two acres each and four cement brook and rainbow trout ponds. About 18,750,000 Fry. From this plant in the last season the game and fish commission reports there have been produced and distributed, 18,000,000 pike perch fry, 755,000 black bass (advanced) fry, 22,600 yearling black bass, and a small consignment of rainbow trout fingerlings. With increased facilities the bureau expects to hatch and distribute next year: Thirty-five million pike perch fry, 1,000,000 black bass (advanced) fry, 100,000 black bass fingerlings and about 15,000 rainbow brook trout fingerlings. The Spring Grove hatching plant differs in many essential particulars from fisheries plants in general. Profiting by the errors of other builders who were without suitable precedent to guide them, the commission has departed somewhat from the conventional, to the end that they are able to breed and handle young fish at a comparatively low cost.

Hillie stating that the Association could not meet at the 17th St. Baptist church at Murphysboro as they were not able to entertain the Association; therefore I shall have to change the place of meeting and will let you know later where it will meet. As the Association authorized me to change the date of the meeting of the Association so as to keep it from conflicting with the National Baptist Convention. Therefore I set Sept. 19, for the setting of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association: This will give all the Bros. a chance to go to the National Baptist Convention; if any Bro. in the district has any objection to this change let me know through the columns of this paper. Please give all the churches notice of the change. Yours in Christ. NOTICE. Dear Sisters: the time is fast approaching for the State Association that was organized at Centralia last year and the president is asking all local societies in the churches of each District to represent at this meeting and we hope to have a good representation from the Mt. Olive district. I have not heard from our missionary and dont know whether she has been able to visit any of the churches or not, but my dears we should not let our banner trail in the dust. We should hold up the standard of the Baptist every where. I am settled at home for awhile, but I am going to work in this part of the field, as the work is somewhat dull at present, but we have a lively set of B. Y. P. U. workers. They are doing real good work and I hope to be able to say the same of the W. E. & M. Society Remember the State work is calling for you in May and will convene with the Sparta Church. The fee for the District is $5.00 and local $2.50. The women will meet on Friday and I hope that each president will send me their address so they can receive their letter blanks. I also have constitutions on hand; any local desiring them may write me. I also ask that each local put out small bags and let each member solicit $1.00 for the Educational Cause. Remember we should work while we live. We have lost a Christian Man and the Pres of the Livingston Normal, in the person of the late Rev. J. H. Knowles, so let us close up the Rank and press forward. Yours for Christ. M. J. Blake. President.
