Harris On His Trial The case of the people against Rev. J. W. Harris was called to trial yesterday before the Justice Fallon in the little court room at the police station. Many witnesses were put on the stand against the pastor, while the only witness used by the dessease was the defendant in the case. The jurymen believed me and I was set free. It took many hours to try the case as quite a bit of the time was used in selecting a jury after many things had been sworn to that would humiliate most any one, I wem to the stand and stated that these people were turned out of the church, and that they were using the court to get back at me. One of the witnesses was asked if she was a member of the church and she stated that she did not know and that she did not care. The second one was excluded from the fellowship of the church for perjury. I am still under a five hundred dollar bond for my appearance in the October term of court. This is an off-hand church fight and those who were fighting one were unacquainted with the church and are strangers to the cause. Since August seems to be the anniversaty month for the devil, I have decided to take a vacation. The charge for which I must appear in court in October, is for living in open adultery, but I have lived with my wife. It is a crime to be a race man here. The white Baptist should not view these, church critics in the wrong light, because I have received seven black-hand letters and have been arrested nine times. Believe me when I say I took advice from the apostle, "Having done all, then stand." THE PASTOR.—Duquoin Evening Call. NOTICE. Elder J. H. Hilly, Missionary lor Mt.

METROPOLIS. ILL Corporall's Words Must Have Contained Full-Information Even to the Most Unintelligent. This week's story from the front: A certain company sergeant major was not popular with his men. They accused him of having cold feet. One day the company went into a rest camp 20 miles behind the firing line, where it was an impossibility any shells could reach them. The ground, however, was very waterlogged, and a fatigue party was detailed to dig a drainage trench. Presently a sergeant happened to pass that way. "What are you digging there?" he shouted to the corporal in charge of the job. A grimy face, from which the swent was pouring, popped up from the trench. It belonged to one of the sergeant major's most persistent and relentless adversaries. "Diggin' a communication trench from the sergeants' mess to the sergeant major's dugout," he shouted, in a voice well within hearing of the mess tent, at the entrance to which the N. C. O. in question was standing.—Pearson's Weekly. POSTAL SYSTEM IN DISARRAY German Government at Its Wit's End to Stop Thievery From the Goods in Transit. Extraordinary steps have been taken by the German government to call a halt to the thieves within the postal system. It was claimed that out of ten parcels sent three would disappear. Packages to soldiers at the front containing food, delicacies and clothing would disappear more frequently than any other shipments. All appeals to the patriotic spirit of the thieves were of no avail. The percentage of thefts increased steadily. Finally the government was compelled to take drastic and systematic measures. The military branch was called in and stations of control manned by non-comissioned officers and soldiers were planted at principal railroad points in the empire. The employment of mere youths is blamed for the deterioration of the postal service. Practically all the employees of military age had to join the army and their places were filled by boys and girls. Besides, the scarcity of food tempts many to steal. Remember. When the war is over, no excuse will go. Either you were in it or you were not. Either you shouldered your gun, served in the trenches, or the Young Men's Christian association, the Red Cross or in some place where the door was opened, or else you did nothing. If you could not serve, you could send your boys with a Godspeed, as they marched out to the front. To hold them back stamped them as slackers. Either you strained your resources to buy Liberty bonds or you forgot your obligation to those who fought and died for your flag. Disqualification for active service is no justification for forgetting the boys behind the guns who sacrificed all thought of gain and were willing to sacrifice their lives at their country's call—Leslie's. "Orion" Type of Stars The youngest stars of which we have knowledge are the "Orion" type of stars. The constellation of Orion is composed mainly of them, as well as parts of Taurus, the Pleiades, and parts of Perseus. In color, they are much like the Sirius type, bluish white, and brilliant, but a spectroscope at once detects the difference between them. Stars like Sirius and Vega are surrounded by hydrogen gas, but the Orion stars have no hydrogen, and are made of helium and nebula. They often have great volumes of fine nebula dust about them, showing that they are still in the process of condensing out of the primitive star matter. Drop in Irish Birthrate. The Irish registrar general's return for the first quarter of this year shows a drop in the Irish birth rate of 3.6 below the average for the previous ten years. The marriage rate is practically stationary. The death rate is 3.3 below the average. The general prosperity of Ireland is reflected by the fact that the returns on Irish pauperism show a decrease of 3,122 in the average number of workhouse inmates. You Do Say Mr. Fisherman! J. W. Partridge, federal fisheries commissioner, is trying to encourage housewives to buy sea fish. He was discussing the virtues of the sea fish the other day. "Do you believe, Mr. Partridge," asked a bystander, "that the sea trout is as good a pan fish as the lake or stream trout?" "Well, I wouldn't say for sure," says J. W. P., "that's all a matter of taste." —Indianapolis News. Ask the Thief. The lawyer was trying hard for his client and was setting the points out in a logical manner. There was one thing he was not quite clear about and he accordingly said: "Now, sir, you state my client knocked you down and then disappeared in the darkness. What time of night was this?" "Lean't say exactly," the complainant answered dryly. "Your client had my watch." In Comparison With America's Miles of Farms They Might Almost Be Termed Laughable. Almost one-half of the land capable of cultivation in Japan is planted in rice. Handkerchief gardens would perhaps best describe the little rice fields, many of which are no larger than a tennis court, are equally flat and are surrounded by rims of earth to hold the water when the fields are flooded. The average rice field in Japan is about one acre and a half in size; but large or small, each field must be leveled and each must have its rim or dike. There must be a system of canals to bring water to the fields and another system of ditches to take it away when it is no longer needed. It is said that there are 12,000 square miles of rice land in Japan, the greater part of which has been prepared with an almost infinite amount of labor.

Seems that with several other prominent women of the 400, she went in for farmercetting on Long Island, and the brigade was assigned to a farm whose owner had always had a grudge against the rich. He thought that now was his opportunity and approaching Mrs. Mackay said: "The first thing I'd like you to do is clean out the pigsties. Think you can manage it?" Imagine his amazement and chagrin when the multimillionaire social arbiter smiled and cooed: "Certainly; at home I always attend personally to cleaning out the bird cage." Heroism That Is Real For heroism when the engine room of his ship was filled with live steam, Niels Anderson, chief machinist's mate, United States navy, has been given official commendation. The act occurred when the exhaust lines of the steering engine were carried away by the breaking of the tiller, causing the engine room to fill with steam. Without hesitation Anderson went down a ladder to the compartment, but was driven back. Again he made two more attempts. The third was successful, and, groping his way through the cloud of steam, he cut it off. Anderson enlisted in the navy at Norfolk, Va., in April, 1808, giving as his home address 2420 South Broad street, Philadelphia. Our Limited Resources We should put out of our minds the idea that we have stores of accumulated wealth upon which to draw for war supplies. England had such stores, but we have not. When England went into the war she had great stores of outstanding legal claims upon the working organization of the outside world. She had also an established credit that enabled her to gear into her own working system the industrial power of the United States and many other neutral countries. We are devoid of any comparable resources. We have no capital to throw at the enemy. We have nothing to throw but our current income.—Charles Ferguson in Humanitarian. Why the Lambs Cried. Bobby was having his first experience on his grandfather's farm at sheep-shearing time. The men had the lambs separated from their mothers and turned them back into the flock at night, and there was the usual great commotion. Bobby went to his mother and said: "Mother, do you know what makes the lambs bleat so tonight?" Upon her telling him she did not know, he proceeded to explain: "The lambs are crying because grandfather skinned their mothers today and they cannot tell which one they belong to." All Appropriate. The match shortage in England is used by the British press to recall a story of the well-known firm of Bryant & May, match manufacturers. One day when they were in the heyday of their prosperity the senior partner, Mr. Bryant, dressed in the height of fashion, drove a spanking team onto the Ascot race course. "Halloa!" exclaimed a wit, pointing to the horses, "Bryant's got his match there." "Yes, and Bryant himself looks very striking on the box." A Stranger's Mistake "Mr. Bibbles! You were intoxicated last night. I saw you zigzagging all over the street." "Merely the result of misapprehension. I didn't know the painted white lines were for automobiles. I thought they were for the guidance of pedestrians." His Regret. "I regret that money is everything." "Do you really believe that money is everything in this world?" "I didn't say that. To repeat I regret that money is everything I have to give to win the war." No Doubt. "I think you'll find him in the garden, over by the onion patch." "Looking for leeks, I suppose."—Boston Transcript. From This Little Story It Would Seem There Are Some Plutocrats in the Ohio Metropolis. A New York hotel manager just back from a Western trip declares that the high cost of living is not confined to New York when it comes to dining out. "Occasionally we hear a bleat from some one who has been nicked to the war tune in the region of the bright lights," said the manager, "but let me tell you there are many tortured cries elsewhere. Cleveland has the jump on most of the high cost of things along the gustatory route. In looking over the bbl of fare at one of the big hotels there I noticed one special dish was emphasized in black letters. It was Philadelphia capon, for which $7.50 was asked for a single portion. I much prefer just plain chicken, but if this capon (thing was the caper, why I was willing to go the route. The head waiter was sympathetically apologetic. 'Tm sorry, sir; but the last portion has just been served. We've had a phenomenal run on the capon. In the present plenitude of money in Cleveland I do not doubt that there would be a ravening run on Philadelphia capon if it were offered at $10 a portion. It is a relentless appetite that will not be denied." THOSE THIN, HARD YANKEES Typical of a Race of Whom It Haa Been Said They Shall Inherit the Earth. Recently we sat in a refreshment room of a railroad station conversing casually with a foreign officer. Suddenly full men in olive drab began to come in by groups to wash up. They were on their way. The officer, though he tried to go on talking, couldn't keep his eyes off the men, and his responses became more and more absent as they continued to crowd in. "My God!" he exclaimed, "where do they come from?" Then we looked at them. Not one seemed less than six feet tall. They were a thin, hard, big-fisted, crag-faced lot of men, the color of new bronze, each with two deep lines around the mouth, gentle with each other, speaking softly, but certainly the most formidable German killers you could find in all the world. We should not have noticed them particularly but for the officers' dazed appreciation. "They are probably from somewhere in the mountains," we said at last. The officer gave us a strange look. Such men as these, and we took them so much for granted that we couldn't tell where they came from!—New York Tribune. Insects That Help Mankind One of the great sources of loss in wheat growing has been due to the injurious activities of the wheat-midge, which feeds on the grain, and, if unmolested by its natural insect enemies, would soon reduce our wheat crops to the vanishing point. But several of our friendly insects keep the midge in restraint, one being the ravenous two-winged flies which seize and carry away the midge, and suck out its juices. Its most powerful foe, however, is the parasite that lives on the midge—a small, black fly, somewhat resembling the ant. The young of these four-winged flies live on the larvae and eggs of the midge. As the midge increases in number, these parasites also increase, for they depend for a living on the midge, and the more midgees there are the more parasites there are on hand to eat them up. How Negroes Go to Camp. Twelve hundred colored drafted men went down one winter night to Camp Upton. They arrived in the dark about eleven o'clock. It was raining and freezing. Many of the men were without overcorns. And they were soft, having been waiters, clerks and in other indoor occupations. They arrived in camp soaked to the skin, tired and hungry. Were they cursing and grumbling? No. They came in singing: "Good-by, Lenox Avenue; Hello, Berlin!" And their melodious negro voices rang out in cheerful defiance to the angry night, to the hard life before them and to the possible death that awaited them! That's the stuff that is in Americans—and it is war that is bringing it out.—American Magazine. Selling Eggs by the Pound: Canada has been making the experiment of selling eggs by the pound instead of by the dozen, according to Consul Fred C. Slater, Sarnia, Ontario. "The only obstacle in the way of a unanimous indorsement of the plan is seemingly that the public has not been educated to buy that way," says Mr. Slater. "As refuting this objection it is pointed out that, in view of the wide variation in the size of eggs, the consumer would quickly realize that the system affords a fair and just basis of charge." Job for a Statistician. When the war is over it would be an interesting if laborious task for some expert statistician to figure-out just how much money Germany spent on propaganda work and just how much she got for her money—Philadelphia Ledger.

Proposal Is Called Radical and Affects Titles That Run Back to the Old French Regime. The report from Ottawa that the Canadian nobility is to be abolished may be the first news to not a few on that side of the border, as well as to many on this side, that Canada has a nobility. The proposal is called radical, and it certainly does strike at a very ancient institution, states a writer in Providence Journal. If such a law is enacted in accordance with the recommendations of the government, in the form of an order in council, "no hereditary title shall hereafter be conferred upon a British subject resident of Canada," and "appropriate action shall be taken by the government to provide that, after a prescribed period, no title held by a British subject now or hereafter ordinarily resident in Canada, shall be recognized as having hereditary effect." The reference presumably is to the titles that have come down from the period when the king of France "conceded his North American possessions in feefs of duches, marquises, counties, viscounties, baronies and other seigniories to the members of the noblesse, military officers and other men of merit admitted to the noblesse"—according to the old chronicle. And although, as one of the ancient regime has plaintively observed, "democracy has a hatred for natural superiority and endeavors to crush it out," the titular nobility seems to have survived among the "bourgeoisie" and "peasantry" of the husky young Dominion. Canada has its college of arms and a number of American citizens who can claim descent from patrician families, or who by beats of arms or other public achievements have shown their merit, have qualified in some of the orders, and are privileged to display the ribbons and wear the court dress of "dark blue, red cord, gilt buttons of the imperial two-headed eagle, cavalry saber, and blue, red or green sash." At about the time of the Civil war one of these orders invited the membership of "those of the American states disgusted with the vulgarity and tyranny of democracy," and its rolls contain the names of General Gordon, General Vance and other distinguished personages of the Southern confederacy. Among the old French titles are Duc d'Arkansas and Baronet of Novin Scotia. Fire Losses in North America. As has often been pointed out, the fire waste in the United States and Canada is extravagant. But Canada now proposes to reduce the damage by the adoption of compulsory fire prevention measures in accordance with the recommendations of the commission of conservation, says Providence Journal. Excluding forest fires, the commission finds that since confederation the loss has been $700,000,000, while every year 200 lives are sacrificed in fires, and 500 persons are seriously injured. Canada's per capita fire loss is the largest in the world—$2.73—and that of the United States—$2.26 —is second. England's figures are small—64 cents—but large in comparison with the 13 cents reported in Switzerland. France has a per capita loss of 74 cents. Conditions in these several countries do not seem to justify such an extraordinary difference in the fire records. Probably the explanation of the poor showing on this side of the ocean lies in the better enforcement of safety regulations in Europe, and in holding property owners accountable for the damages caused by fires starting on their premises. The remedy proposed in Canada is in putting more responsibility upon owners of buildings and other combustible property. Colored Regiments. In 1806 congress passed a law that colored regiments should be a part of the regular army. The Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Thirty-eighth, Thirty-ninth, Fortieth and Fort-first regiments of infantry were organized March 3, 1809, a consolidation act was passed and the Thirty-eighth and Fort-first were reorganized as the Twenty-fourth regiment of infantry; the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth were reorganized as the Twenty-fifth regiment of infantry. The Ninth and Tenth cavalry won the reputation of being among the best Indian fighters on the frontier. At the outbreak of the Spanish war, in 1808, the four colored regiments were among the first troops ordered to the front, and they won distinction. At the first battle in Cuba, the Tenth cavalry played an important part of coming to the support of Colonel Roosevelt and the Rough Riders. The Twenty-fifth infantry took a prominent part in the battle of El Caney. The Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fourth infantry rendered heroic service in the battle of San Juan hill.-Hoston Globe. Of Like Minds.

Olive Bapt Association will meet with Mt. Olive Baptist church, Duqnoin, Ill., Tuesday before the 4th Sunday in Sept. 1918. Our Baptist Family Chicago, Ill., Aug. 22, 1918 Metropolis Gazette. Dear Editor:— It has been about 8 years since I had anything to say through your valuable journal. Since I last wrote you the world has been turned around. The Kaiser is the most talked about person today in all the universe, but from what we glean from our dailies it seems that we have him grogo, if we, the allies can only deliver a couple of solar plexus blows, we ought to be able to bring the bacon home by next May 1918. The real subject that I am trying to drive at is Baptist doings among Baptist people. Three years ago in this city a thunderbolt was thrust among the Baptist which caused a division among them, and there are now two conventionn each one claiming to be the legitimate bargain counter for all Baptisit to transact their business. I have read and re-read the bitter strife coming from both sides and for the life of me I am unable to adjust or render a judgment as it should be. Of course I have come to the conclusion so far as I am concerned, that graft is the rea cause of this bitter fight. I am also of the opinion that all of the good men are not on either side. There are some bad ones affiliated with the Morris and Hudson side and there also some bad ones on the Boyd and Jones side. There never was a gathering of men as large as the Baptist conventions (both sides) that were void of bad eggs, or as Dr. J. H. Frank says, (a nigger in the wood pile.) The convention or conventions never will be what the good people desire them to be, on account of graft, greed and the office seeking element. Men of all religious denominations have their faults just as others do. I am a Baptist and am proud of it, I am also proud of the progress that the Baptists have made. I believe the most vital need of church is better educated ministers and more common sense. We as a rule are too quick to fight the other fellow's objects when we have nothbetter to offer him. In Northern Illinois, especially in and around Chicago, there are so many little Baptists organizations, and I am unable to name them, and I style myself a wide awake man in baptist circles. One tning that I do know and appreciate and that is the Baptist Congress of Chicago, and vicinity. They are a class by themselves, doing a grand work. Also the North Wood River District Association is holding her own with the rest of them. I long to see the Baptist of this country together again with men at the helm with more religion, education ano common sense than money. If such men can be found in the denomination I believe they will accomplish more good than the real stars, or so-called big gun. Let us pray and hope and hope that the report of the peace meeting last March be received by each convention when they meet next month at St. Louis, and Little Rock, and that each convention will begin to lay plans for the consolidation of the two bodies on peaceable terms, then the great Baptist family will sing, shout and pray, as never before and work with a firm determination for God. Yours for the cause, Robt. Hooper, 5214 State St FRED E. STERLING OF ROCKFORD CANDIDATE FOR REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR STATE TREASURER Primary Election Wed., Sept. 11.
