Goodall one of our former city pastors was in to pay us a visit Monday morning. Blind Harris gave us a recital Friday evening and all who heard him were charmed by his wonderful gifts. He is one of the long list of genius that make their appearances at this school each year. All of the auxiliaries are run in full blast. Nearly every day brings to us some newstudents.

Olive Baptist Association of Southern Illinois. To you we send greetings and wish to inform you that the time is at hand for us arise and gird our armor on, and heed the Macedonian cry "Come ye over and help us." We have a number of small churches a few larger ones in our district that are without pastors and not self supporting and with a little encouragement from the stronger ones, they can be made strong. Our mission work and our District missionaries are greatly neglected, which should not be the case in a land of plenty and prosperity, when, if the pastors and churches would manifest a little more of the Christ like spirit in carrying out the great commission to go into all the world and preach the gospel. Southern Illinois is part of the world, therefore, since it is part of territory we are obligated to Christ to carry the Gospel to perishing thousands in our baili wick. The churches are only asked to send up 5c per member quarterly to aid the missionaries while in the destitute parts of our district which is a small item to any member, but, would be ample to care for our district work in good shape and missionaries would not be compelled to look like tramps. As intelligent Baptists we cannot afford to let the Banner trail in the dust and be a laughing stock or to be held up in ridicule by others who are less able to care for their obligations. We confidently trust that each pastor and officer in the churches of our associational district will get busy and help to raise the financial standard in our district at the 1st quarterly Board meeting which will be held in Mt. Vernon with Shiloh Baptist church with Elder Joha Bruen, pastor, Thursday before the 3rd Sunday in Dec. 1916 The church and pastor sending up the most money at said meeting will be placed on honor roll and the cut of pastor will be placed in the columns of the Gazette Respectfully yours Eider J.

It indeed is a pleasing reflection to think over the many beautiful and profitable happenings that have come to us during the six and one-half years that Rev. W. P. Washington has been our pastor, and now permit me to express my heartfelt thanks for being one of your officers during your pastorate, it has been among the happiest days of my life and I may also be pardon for saying that the last three years have brought each of us closer together. As pastor your position has been full of care, labor and responsibilities, and yet you have always appeared before us with a heart full of love. When I think of the pleasant six and one-half years we have spent with Rev. Washington, and the friendly association which has marked upon the trestle board in the busy cares of administrating to the many complex problems that have been solved by your asistance and after all to think how pleasantly we have journeyed together. As we pass down the step of time in the busy trend of church life, and its many cares we are aroused to pause and think of this sad end, which has come. It has been our aim dear Rev. Washington, though we may have stopped short of some of the duties of the church to reflect credit upon your administration so that we could leave an acceptable and pleasing example to the generations that are to follow. When you came to us six and one half years ago you found us disheartened and scattered, but by your example as well as precepts you are leaving us strong and determined to make each succeeding year beeter. We know we have made mistakes as no doubt I have, for to err is human, they have been of the head and not of the heart, but you have dealt gently with us in our waywardness. We will never forget you, we shall look back over these years n after life not with regret, but as a scene of mental enjoyment, where the paths of learning were strewn with flowers, and whenever memory recalls these years our hearts will form toward you as they do so. Reyington please accept this token of our love for you, may you always be as happy as you have endeavored to make your member, we hope to do credit to your teachings. If we do not it is our own fault for you have done your pur faithfully and zealously. You have taught us to look up to you not only as a guardian and friend and we go into the world to turn the lessons you have taught to profitable account, we shall not forget to whom we owe our requirements but shall remember you ever with a fatherly love, what we offer to you is but a poor symbol of our feelings but we know you will receive it kindly as a simple indication of the attachment which each one of us cherish for you in our hearts, and now farwell to you and your dear family. Be good, be true, be noble, honest and brave, and do to others as you would that they should do to you, and place your trust in God. Though fiery darts be hurled, then you can smile on Satan's rage and face a frowning world. Again I say good bye! May heaven guard and bless your foot-steps day by day. Your Deacon, NOTICE The Executive Board Meeting Will Be Held With the Shiloh Baptist] Church, Mt. Vernon, Illinois, Dec. 14-17, 1916. To the Pastors and churches of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association Dear Co Workers:— Your attention is hereby called to the fact that, the time for our "Board Meeting" is near at hand; and the necessities of our missionary and educational work, demands a very strong effort on our part. Our motto for the coming session is "Lift the standard higher." Therefore, we are calling for the hearty co-operation of all the pastors and churches in this Dist; because we feel that without your help we cannot succeed. You will please remember that the report on State and standing, will show that a good many of our churches are in doubt to the missionaries, for the last associational year's work. And too, the missionaries are in need of of our need of our help, so if we cannot pay all at the "Board," let us do the best we can in the name of Christ. Again you will please remember that a resolution was adopted in the last association, requesting all of our churches to take part in educating Bro. J N. Washington, by each church sending up the board, the sum of 500 every three months, the same to be sent to him at Nashville, Tenn. rn view of this fact, we cordially invite your attention to the forthcoming session of our Executive board, which will convene with the Shiloh Baptist church of Mt.

The Silver Leaf, Industrial clubs, composed entirely of womens mostly of the 1st Baptist church, Nehemiah's Band, and, and the Sunny Juvenile Band, formed themselves into a Club Convention for the purpose of raising money for the 1st Baptist church The Convention opened Saturday at 9:00 a.m. and closed Sunday night. A very attractive and interesting program was rendered Saturday topics discussed. After the rendition of the program Saturday night an apron and necktie social was enjoyed by all present. The house was crowded all day Sunday to listen to the program rendered and semons delivered. The program was carried out with but few changes as published in the Gazette last week. Rev Thos. Turner delivered a very good sermon at 11:00 a.m. Rev. W. P. Washington, D. D., of Mt. Vernon, who is conducting a meeting for the pastor of the Antioch Baptist church, preach an able sermon at 3:00 p. THE ATTRACTION OF A FINE NEW STETSON YOU will wait many a season before you find a more attractive hat than this—the feature hat of the superb line of Fall and Winter Stetsons. A quality hat for "quality folks," as the oldtime Southern darkey used to say—and one that looks surprisingly well on most men. In fact every one of the Stetsons is a fine hat—a bit finer than usual this Fall. Come try them on. UNION MARK ING COMPANY 3rd & Ferry St. The clubs met at the home of Prof G. E. and Mrs Florence Masterson's at 7:30 p. m. and marched to the church to find a large congregation awaiting their arrival and after a short but well prepared program. Rev J. B. McCrary, was introduced and delivered a sermon from 26:10 of Matt. After the sermon, a general collection was taken and then the reports of the clubs were made as follows: Silver Leaf reported $50.01 Nehemiau's Band 15.25 Industrial Club 35.01 Juvenile Band 11.71 General collection 38.8 Total amount $150.01 There were two prizes awarded, the 1st and 2nd. The first prize of $3.00 was given to the president of Silver Leaf club and the second prize $2. was won by the president of the Industrial Club. These prizes were given for raising the most money. The Juvenile Baud had only been organized a short time but they certainly deserved praise for their good work. The officers of the Convention were elected for the next months and motion prevailed to adjourn to meet in February 1917. This closed the first Club convention, and every member felt happy for the howling success. Some Have to Keep on Until They Almost Drop. How Mrs. Conley Got Help. Here is a letter from a woman who had to work, but was too weak and suffered too much to continue. How she regained health:— Frankfort, Ky.—"I suffered so much with female weakness that I could not do my own work, had to hire it done. I heard so much about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that I tried it. I took three bottles and I found it to be all you claim. Now I feel as well as ever I did and am able to do all my own work again. to my own work, had to hire it done. I heard so much about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that I tried it. I took three bottles and I found it to be all you claim. Now I feel as well as ever I did and am able to do all my own work again. I recommend it to any woman suffering from female weakness. You may publish my letter if you wish." -Mrs. JAMES CONLEY, 516 St. Clair St., Frankfort, Ky. No woman suffering from any form of female troubles should lose hope until she has given Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a fair trial. This famous remedy, the medicinal ingredients of which are derived from native roots and herbs, has for forty years proved to be a most valuable toxic and invigrator of the female organism. All women are invited to write to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass., for special advice,—it will be confidential. The Traditional Wager.

"BOUGH ON RATS" Ends Ratio, Mico, Bung Din, Inc. and Lies. --- AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Doctor Woodson, in his book, "The Education of the Negro Prior to 1861," tantalizes with constant references to people and events of which the reader would like to be more fully informed. Rev. Josiah Henson, for example, is mentioned only twice, and then in a most casual way; as an exemplar of the "ante-bellum" thinking Negro he deserves a liberal allowance of space. Although he lived until 1881, "Father" Henson, as he was called, was born in the eighteenth century, probably June 15, 1787. This pure-blooded Negro native of Maryland, was brought up in slavery and supplied a model for Mrs. Stowe's Uncle Tom. As a young man he preached to his fellow slaves, and once took his master's "people" over into Kentucky, to prevent their being attached by the planter's creditors. He had a master named St. Clare, whose young daughter probably suggested the "little" Eva of the story. Henson had paid $500 toward the price of his freedom, but was taken to New Orleans to be sold by his master's son. The white man being stricken with fever, the black man nursed him and took him back home. Finally Josiah escaped; he and his wife and children made their way cross-country through swamps and all to Cincinnati, and at last got to Canada, "Father" Henson was prominent in a colored community there. In 1842 or so he learned to read and write. He met Mrs. Stowe and told his story to her. In 1858 he published his autobiography, with an introduction by Mrs. Stowe. In 1850, 1852 and 1876 he went to England, lecturing and preaching, and, as the books of reference note with pious care, he was entertained at Windsor castle by Queen Victoria. Henson may be read with more entertainment and not a bit less profit than Woodson. Of the colonization movement the author writes more freely and more connected than of other parts of the history. The idea of segregation or colonization was of early origin and found footing both North and South. In 1779 Jefferson was a member of a committee appointed by the state legislature that reported a plan providing for the instruction of slaves in agriculture and the handicrafts to prepare them, for liberation and "colonization under the supervision of the home government until they could take care of themselves." Most Southerners conditioned their theoretical concession of the Negro's right to education with the practical assertion that when educated he should be separated from his fellows. Some who had scruples against compulsory expatriation to Africa favored colonization in "some part of the United States," which meant anything west of the Alleghanies.—New York Sun. A few earnest Negro-music students have studied the man—so broad, genial and human—carefully and thoroughly. Some Negroes have real musical accomplishments. Harry T. Burleigh, a pupil of Dvorak, is baritone soloist at St. George'e church, New York city, sings in the choir of the Jewish temple, Forty-fourth street and Fifth avenue, and is musical editor at Recidori's. Mr. Burleigh's songs are published by Ricordi Co., G. Schirmer, the leading publisher of America, and Presser of Philadelphia. Nathaniel Dett, a very young man, recently from Oberlin School of Music, and now director at Hampton, has in his developed "Listen to the Lambs," published by Schirmer, proved his right Better housing conditions and the establishment of an open-air school for Negro children will be two of the principal endeavors of the St. Louis Tuberculosis society this winter. This was decided at a meeting of the board of directors. A survey has been made showing the death rate of Negroes from consumption in St. Louis to be four to one white person in proportion to the population. Mrs. E. A. De Wolf, who originated open-air school work in St. Louis in 1909, is head of the committee for the establishment of the fresh-air institution. Dr. S. T. Lipstz is the physician in charge. Boston's newest post office, the Back Bay post station in Huntington avenue, opposite Symphony hall, is fast nearing completion. In architecture the new building is a replica of the Wall street branch of the New York post office. Tests have shown that the best sound deadening partitions for buildings are those made of two walls of tile with an air space between. Adelina Patti made her debut in Santiago de Cuba, and thence in the summer of 1859, she made her first appearance in New York, at Castle Garden, and created a furore in America.

Carl Diton, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, a student for two years in Germany, now teacher in Atlanta, Ga., is a thorough master of the science of music. Melville Charlton, both because of temperament and technique, is considered as ranking with the first organists of New York city. Last, but greater than all of these, I must name a comedian, not a musician, George W. Walker, the late lamented partner of Bert Williams. His has been the greatest influence in the development of modern Negro music. At twenty-eight he could not read a note and could hardly write his name, yet day and night he talked Negro music to his people, urged and compelled his writers to give something characteristic. Each year he wanted bigger and better things. He engaged the best Negro voices in the United States, and their success in ensemble singing was as great in London, Paris and Berlin as in New York, Boston and Chicago. Dvorak would have been proud to know such a man. In all reverence—Dvorak—George Walker. They had high ideals and they showed the way. Perhaps in the vast hereafter, these two men may meet. The rough, uncouth, but genial Bohemian master; the uneducated but highly-polished, ebon-hued African, with the gleaming ivory mouth. Do you doubt that with one impulse their hands will join and the mastiff-like smile of the Bohemian will match the lazy grin of the American Zulu, as both whisper the one word—"brother"?—New York Suh. Music brought forth from a large choir under modern chorister methods did not appeal to R. H. Boyd, an aged delegate of Nashville, Tenn., Sunday night at a mass meeting of Negroes attending the national Baptist convention at Kansas City. The song under protest was an old southern religious plantation melody. "That's not the way my mammy used to sing it down in the cotton fields of Mississippi," declared Boyd, interrupting the chorister. He then drilled the chorus and audience in the ancient song with a hearty accompaniment of amens from the older members of the audience. Convention hall, the largest auditorium in the city, was the scene of continued mass meetings Sunday for the various branches of the convention. A Sunday school meeting in the morning drew 2,000 delegates. The evening service was in charge of Dr. W. S. Ellington of Nashville, Tenn., and Dr. E. H. McDaniel of Chlca.0 Fernald O. Everett of Auburn, Me., has discovered a gold mine on his farm in East Poland. He recently had samples from a ledge on the farm assayed by the state assayer at Orono, and it yielded from $5 to $10 in gold to the ton of ore. The makeup of the ledge, a combination of feldspar, quartz and lava, makes it difficult to work. A Kansas City electrician claims to have perfected electrochemical apparatus for producing gasoline from kerosene and natural gas at a fraction of its present cost. Experiments on the Philippine island of Mindanao seem to indicate that the finest qualities of rubber can be produced there with profit. In the town of Belgrade, Me., live Mr. and Mrs. Warren P. Cummings. Mr. Cummings was eighty-eight February 24 this year, and Mrs. Cummings was eighty-six February 25. They settled on the farm where they now live when they were married, 68 years ago. Mr. Cummings still takes his goods to market two or three times a week. The considerable demand for anti-mony during the last year has stimulated the development of certain Alaska deposits of that metal, from which ore to the value of about $74,000 was mined and shipped during 1915, according to a report published by the United States geological survey.

TEACH CHILDREN TO LIVE Modern Schools Have Been Made Ints Real Service Stations on Life's Highway. At college I saw fortunes spent every autumn to teach football candidates how to elude opposing tackles, but not a cent to teach them how to elude tuberculosis, typhoid, pneumonia or cancer. We were required to dig out Latin roots and to unkink logarithmic gnars, but there was not required course in intelligent living. There was a perennial., concerted, rock-ribbed, steel-girt conspiracy of silence against the human body. The educational system frowned upon bad taste in deportment, manners, language and literature, but bad taste in life itself was quite the proper thing. It was deemed more important to know quadratic equations than the simple fact that to sleep healthily in a room where the sunbeams never enter is as sulcidal as a nibble of cyanide, albeit somewhat slower. Long before New York's public school children of today learn how to decline "amo" they are taught to decline indiscriminate kisses. Long before they learn how Gettysburg was fought, they learn how fire is fought. The toothbrush drill precedes the first spelling drill. They learn the intelligent way to sneeze or cough. Long before they take up the avenues of Caesar's entrance into Gaul they are instructed in the avenue of entrance of regiments of bacilli into the human body. Gotham's tots learn the necessity of frequent airing of bedding, the proper cleaning of ice boxes, the curbility of phthisis. No longer the pathetic spectacle of Alice in Blunderland. When Alice reaches the age of six and matriculates in New York's public schools she is now ushered at once into the wonderland of genuinely useful knowledge of her wisp of a body. And it begins to look as if the public schools of the future were to be a vast system of service stations on the highway of human life.-Newton A. Fussele, in the Craftsman. In the South Seas. In a recent lecture before the Royal Geographic society, Mr. C. M. Woodford, former British resident commissioner of the Solomon islands, described two islands that are seldom visited by white men. They are Rennell and Bellona islands, which were discovered at the beginning of the last century. Steamers from Sydney to the Solomons pass close to them, and sometimes between them, but trading vessels do not stop there, for the anchorage is poor. The natives, therefore, having nothing to sell, have been left to themselves, with the result that, although natives of islands only 100 miles away have advanced to the stage of sewing machines, gramphones and other articles of modern civilization, the natives of Rennell and Bellona, when Mr. Woodford visited them a few years ago, were eager for scrapition of every sort, old nails, and especially fishhooks; and so little was known about the islands that even the native names for them had not been accurately determined. Immigration into the Pacific islands from Asia, far from having ceased, is at present going on at a rate probably greater than during the old Polynesian migrations. Mr. Woodford predicts that at no very distant date the whole of the Melanesian and Polynesian populations of the Pacific will be absorbed and merged into a race composed largely of Chinese and Japanese. True Geniality. There is always something to be learned from those we meet. To be genial does not mean to tell all of one's affairs to everyone. Nor does it include making intimate companions of everyone about him. It does mean to have kindness in one's heart to all the world, to have a desire to carry sunshine, to give warmth and brightness, to be constantly filled with the desire to make the world happier and better. It is not the great things of life that tend most to happiness. It is the little daily, almost unnoticed things that count most. No kindness in thought or deed is too small to do good to some one. If to no one else, at least in making one's own heart more tender it is' worth while. And no one ever sees the last result of a kind act. Cultivate the genial spirit and you will be storing up happiness. Sowing seeds of kindness brings a sure harvest. Women in Ancient Greece. In Homeric times, as in later Sparta, it is true, the wife had considerable freedom and respect; but even Homeric heroes gave away their daughters and scores of other women as bribes or prizes, each woman being reckoned, as in modern Zululand, at so many oxen or copper caidrons. In later Greece the noblest minds saw further. Plato proclaimed equal association for all women with men, and opportunity according to their physical strength. Aristotie defined marriage as a community of life as a whole. The cry of Aristophanes for "Votes for Women" was only half mockery. No subsequent dramatist has analyzed the tragedy and ironic comedy of womanhood so subtly as Euripides—none, at least, until we come to Ibsen and Brieux. Past Memories.

NO JOY IN GREAT WEALTH Altogether Powerless to Confer Happiness on Owner, According to Charles M. Schwab. "Money for money's sake," Charles M. Schwab, the steel magnate, exclaimed, according to a writer in American Magazine, "is a fufle goal to alr atn. Money is merely one way in which a man may measure his achievement; but there are many other ways. "I always pity the man who says, 'When I get so much money I am going to retire and enjoy life.' The greatest thrill that can come to any man is the thrill of successful accomplishment. "In the last year I have had opportunities to sell out Bethlehem for almost fabulous sums. They did not even interest me. If I gave up my business I would be resigning my greatest interest in life. I want to make Bethlehem bigger and better all the time. I don't want to make it a money, mill. I want to make it the greatest success possible, the steel standard of the world. "There is no enjoyment in great wealth," he went on at last. "One of the greatest happinesses of life is in having something to look forward to—something just out of reach—something that you are not quite able to afford. When a man reaches the place where he can get any of the world's purchasable things simply by writing out a check, he has cut loose from happiness unless he is fortunate enough to have powerful interests of a constructive sort quite apart from his money. "When a reasonable man is getting $10,000 or $12,000 a year he is getting the most he can possibly want to satisfy his needs. When he gets more he begins, to invite unhappiness, and the more he gets the more unhappiness he invites. One soon loses the enjoyment of spending money. One soon wearies of riding about for pleasure in private yachts and private cars." MACHINE COUNTS THE COIN Method of Relieving Congestion at Railroad Ticket Windows is Successful. The company which operates the tube under the North river having received many complaints from patrons about delays at the ticket windows, started an experiment recently, designed to prevent the late comer from missing a train because of delays in the ticket line, a New York correspondent of the Pittsburgh Chronicle writes. The experiment applied only to the station in Jersey City. The ticket chopper at that point was authorized to allow passengers to drop coins in the ticket box. Either tickets or coins were accepted. - The practice did not prove satisfactory, however, for the ticket chopper was no cashier and, besides, he could not help chopping the nickels instead of the tickets. So the company installed a separate slot for coins. This worked better, but overburdened the ticket chopper with duties, and still another correction was necessary. The railroad company then installed a motor in the coin box. This motor counts every penny, nickel, dime, quarter or other coin which is deposited in the box. All the ticket chopper has to do is to turn a crank once in a while. The experiment, it is said, has brought satisfactory results. Baskets in Short Supply. The basket man has been having troubles of his own since the beginning of the war. Baskets which were imported from France and Germany come now in uncertain quantities from Holland, which has no willows. Some of the old stock from earlier importations still remains. Among these are baskets which came from Germany and go largely to the South, where they are used for small market baskets. They are the old-fashioned kind, high and reticul-shaped, with a cover. A basket in its cheapest form, which is devoted to the baby, is of splints. It is an extra-size market basket with the usual handles at the ends. This is swung on a simple iron frame and makes a baby's cradle. Others of these with ribs for a hood top are placed on the floor, having no standard. Aeroplane on Flying Boat. A most unusual aeronautical experiment is being carried out by German experts, according to Popular Mechanics. It deals with the development of a powerful flying boat which carries, for both defensive and offensive purposes, a swift, mosquito-like aeroplane on its back. The machine, when last heard of, was being put through test flights, but had not at that time been sufficiently refined to warrant its actual use. The new machine has such remarkable stability, carrying capacity and cruising radius that its engineers think it can be made to replace the bulky, highly expensive Zeppelins which have proved disappointing.

ALL PRESIDENTS LIVED LONG Except Three Who Were Assassinated, Each One of Them Attained Old Age. An anonymous letter to the Lancet, discussing longevity among great men, recalls that the longevity of the presidents of the United States is remarkable. Their ages were as follows: Sixty-seven, ninety, eighty-three, eighty-five, seventy-three, eighty, seventy-eight, seventy-nine, sixty-eight, seventy-one, fifty-three, sixty-five, seventy-four, sixty-four, seventy-seven, fifty-six, sixty-six, sixty-three, seventy, forty-nine, fifty-six, seventy-one, sixty-seven, fifty-eight years. Those at fifty-six, forty-nine and fifty-eight were, respectively, Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley, who were assassinated. The ages of these 24 men totalize 1,603 years, or an average of sixty-nine years each, showing, as is believed, that the stress and responsibility of leadership seem to have no effect on longevity. The following causes of death are those popularly accepted: Washington, pneumonia (more correctly accounts state edematous affection of the windpipe, or membranous croup); J. Adams, debility; Jefferson, chronic diarrhea; Madison, debility; Monroe, debility; J. Q. Adams, paralysis; Jackson, consumption and dropy; Van Buren, asthmatic catarrh; Harrison, billous pleurisy; Tyler, billous attack (with bronchitis); Polk, chronile diarrhea; Taylor, cholera morbus and typhoid fever; Fillmore, debility; Pierce, dropsy and inflammation of stomach; Buchanan, rheumatic gout; Lincoln, assassination; Johnson, paralysis; Grant, cancer of the tongue and throat; Hayes, paralysis of the heart; Garfield, assassination; Arthur, Bright's disease, paralysis and apoplexy; B. Harrison, pneumonia; McKinley, assassination. CHANGE IN TABLE MANNERS Things Which Would Have Been Bad Form in Olden Times Are Now All Right. Formerly it was forbidden to absorb gravy with bits of bread stuck upon one's fork, and so to wipe the platter clean. Good manners required that one should not take excessive pains to get this gravy, however fine it might be. One might, indeed, dip a piece of meat or potatoes in it. At an earlier period, in the times of our grandfathers, manners were even more strict. A good tone at table then demanded that one should always leave something on the plate. This stupid fashion had long disappeared even in times of peace, and it is now regarded as bad manners rather than good to leave anything on the plate. But in peace time one did leave the remains of the gravy. War time and the scarcity of fats has produced a change, and doubtless this is right. The fate of other table customs has been similar. Gnawing at bones, if it is not done in quite too ugly a fashion, will hardly provoke disgust today, and today it will be hardly possible to justify the leaving of pieces of bread, which formerly was in many places a rule. What eyes a hotelkeeper would have made two years ago if a guest had brought a piece of bread with him to dinner! Today thousands of people do it, and nobody minds.—Berlin Lokalan-zeler. Through Sewer on a Bike. Not since the fictional days of Jean Valjean has a trip through a sewer occupied so much space in print as the one made recently by the engineer of the newly constructed six and one-half miles of sewer at Pasadena, Cal. The trip was an inspection tour and was made on a motorcycle. To have walked the full distance would have taken several hours. So the engineer conceived the plan of lowering a motorcycle into the pipe at the clean-out hole in the beginning of the main artery and making a trip de luxe. He had never before ridden a motorcycle. Hence he chose one equipped with a tandem seat and selected an experienced driver. A gas headlight on the motorcycle illuminated the passage. The distance was traversed in two hours, in spite of the numerous stops made to investigate walls and manholes.—Popular Science Monthly. The "Great White Plague." At the present time about one in ten, or 10 per cent, of all the deaths in England and Wales is due to some form of one disease—tuberculosis. About 40,000 die of consumption in England and Wales each year, and an additional 20,000 of tubercular disease of the bones, glands or some other part of the body other than the lungs. There is good reason to believe that there are a quarter of a million consumptives in our midst continually, and 150,000 persons suffering from some other form of tuberculosis. These are appalling figures, and they justify the name of the "Great White Plague" that has so aptly been given to tuberculosis.—London Tit-Bits. "Van Cush is an extremely unlucky chap." "He isn't usually considered so." "I know, but you ought, to hear him talk about his misfortunes.

And what did he do but strike oil? Now he's got to get back in harness again and make a whole lot of money that he doesn't need at all out of that oil well.

In creative thought common sense is a bad master. Its sole criterion for judgment is that now ideas shall look like old ones. In other words, it can only act by suppressing originality. A. N. Whitehead in "An Introduction to Mathematics." Dear Co-workers, and members, of the Executive Board of the W. E. and M. Association of Ill, I take this opportunity to say to you that owing to the fact that not a member of the Board since its last session has sent in to the president t the important correspondence which they promised and pledged themselves to send in. Now, not a circle has answered the request made by the Board to send in $2.50 to help pay the National representation fee, and we will have very little if anything to work upon in our expected meeting on Thanksgiving day. I deem it very necessary to say to you that the Board meeting will be postponed for an indefinite date or until some of the work shall have been accomplished and we hear from our sisters. Too, I am sorry to say that at this writing our corresponding secretary is seriously ill at her home Dewmalne, Illinois. Dear Sisters, the time is not as far as it may seem for our next annual meeting, so please do not sleep away the time. As I vowed for my circle for $2.50 but that is not enough.

Glencoe, Ill., Oct. 21.—The Glencoe Men's club has posted the following throughout this city: TO ALL VOTERS: YOUR INTEREST AND YOUR DUTY DEMANDS THAT YOU VOTE "YES" ON THE TAX AMENDMENT ON LITTLE BALLOT TO BE VOTED NOVEMBER 7. READ WHY. Our present system of taxation punishes the honest taxpayer and home owner, encourages fraud, compels tax evasions and increases taxes. To abolish it. VOTE "YES" ON THE TAX AMENDMENT BALLOT. Whether you own property, or not, you are interested in this vote. You rent of you board, you eat and wear clothes; therefore you pay taxes and like the home owner, the storekeeper and overly owner of visible property you pay an unjust portion of the taxes collected; therefore, in your own interest VOPE "YES" ON THE TAX ADJMENT BALLOT. If you want an honest and just system of taxation, all to bear their part of the tax burden according to their means. VOTE "YES" ON THE TAX AMENDMENT BALLOT. If you want to prevent incurring taxes on your home because of "tax-doddigag" by those who do not pay taxes on all or any of their property subject to taxation VOTE "YES" ON THE TAX AMENDMENT BALLOT. If you want your wife, your children and these dependent on you to get the benefit of what you leave to them when you die; to get the fall income, OR ANY OF IT, that you plan for them, you must VOTE "YES" ON THE TAX AMENDMENT MEN'S BALLOT. MEN'T HALLOR. It is the duty of every honest man, father, good citizen and believer in justice to Illinois is the second state in the amount of its farm mortgages—the amount being $225,000,000. The interest on this sum, at 6 per cent annually, amounts to more than $20,000,000 a year. If these mortgage notes were taxed as the law now commands it would add three or four million dollars to the anual interest payment. And, the farms would have to earn it. Remember that the Tax Amendment to be voted on November 7 will make it possible for the legislature to provide a taxing system for all intangible values that will not be excessive, as the tax rate established by the revenue law now is. If from any apathy or neglect the people should fail to approve a tax reform amendment this year, says the Chicago Examiner, it is doubtful if the issue could be brought up again until either the constitution itself is rewritten or the amending clause is changed so as to allow several amendments to be proposed at the same election. There are many reasons why the voter should mark his ballot "Yes" on the Tax Amendment November 7. Some may think that they have good reason for marking it "No." But no right-minded citizen of Illinois can find any justification for entire failure to vote one way or the other. Holders of the great bulk of intangible wealth are not paying taxes in Illinois. Why? We are attempting to enforce a tax system found impossible wherever tried. Vote "Yes" to modernize tax laws. Vote "Yes" on the tax amendment. Only these will vote "No" who want the injustice of the present system perpetuated. No vote on the constitutional amendment is a vote "No"—a vote against yourself. Mark your "little ballot" "Yes." Do not vote to continue tax evils by failing to mark your "little ballot." Vote "Yes" for the tax amendment. Do you want the tax burden on real estate lightened? Note "Yes" for tax equality. Examine Your Own Projection. Every one is forward to complain of the prejudices that misled other men or parties, so if he were free, and had none of his own. This being objected on all sides, it is agreed that it is a fault and a misdance to knowledge. What now is the cure? No other but this, that every man should let alone others' prejudices and examine his own. The only way to remove this great cause of ignorance and error out of the world is for every one impartially to examine himself.—Locke.
