Cleveland, Ohio; Dec. 1 —The official count of ballots shows that Harry E. Davis, Republican, one of three Negro candidates for the legislature from Cuyahoga County, had won out in the race for the lower house. Carbondale, Dec. 4, 1920 My Dear Rev. and Mrs. J. B. McCrary, I am very sorry I waited so long about writing you after the sad news of the death of your son and my friend but I decided that I must write a few consoling words. I know that words mean little in great trouble, but I would gladly lighten the burden of your grief if I only could. I was somewhat prepared to hear of it by my knowledge of the serious nature of his illiness, but still it is a shock to know that he is no more... My heart goes to you in sympathy for your loss. There is one comfort in this great sorrow-out loss was heaven's gain. You have my deepest and truest silent sympathy. Sincerely yours. Rev. and Mrs. A. J. Bowers, and family.

L. died in a few minutes. Appreciative Surprise. The pastor of Unity Baptist church of Brookport, appreciates the donation of sweet potatoes, beans and sugar given by sisters Jennie Mason, and daughter Myrle also Florence Capps. It shows their appreciation of our long service given to the people of that city. Not only the Baptists but the community. We have been assured recently that we were loved and respected by the majority of the members of the church, of course it is not expected that every one will love the pastor though he might be an angel, yet we are taught to love those who hate and despitefully use us. And to fret not ourselves because of evil doers. We wish to say that kind deeds to us are never forgotten. Thanks the pastor. Twin City to Chicago Air Mail Record Broken La Crosse, Wis., Dec. 7.—E.

The fourteen members of the company, all of whom saw military service overseas went on duty in the West Side house recently.

We are expecting every minister who is alive to bring a contribution from his church to the Board next week either small or large for the prosecution of the work aside from his own contribution. Let's push the work of the District brethren, and not be out simply for our church and selt. We are trusting in you to do your full duty and acquit yourselves like men. J. B McCrary, Mod, Read The Gazette; $2.00 FOURTH RED CROSS ROLL CALL STILL the GREATEST MOTHER in the WORLD The "Greatest Mother" concept which was visualized in the famous art poster used by the American Red Cross in its second war fund campaign has had its symbolism adapted to the Red Cross works of the post-war era and will illuminate the main poster to be used in the Fourth Roll Call November 11-25. This adaptation will bear the title "Still the Greatest Mother in the World." Everyone is familiar with the original "The Greatest Mother in the World," the effectiveness of which has been shown in part by the fact that it has furnished a synonym for Red Cross that has come to almost a household term. More than any other symbol, except the red cross itself, the public has made it the trademark of the American Red Cross. Every person mentally and physically able to do so should take the American Red Cross instruction in First Aid Treatment. It's a life-saver and a pain-saver on the farm, in the factory, on the street, at the office, in the home, wherever accidents may occur. Here's a young wife who inexpertly wielded a can-opener and received an 24th Bank in N. D. Closes Doors in Less Than Month Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 7. The State Bank of Loraine, in Renville county closed to-day, due to depleted reserves, according to word received at the state bank examiners office here. This makes twenty three state and one national bank to close in less than a month. Great Rev.va. The passion Rev. M. S Mc Cauley, of the city, and members of Oak Grove, C. P. church, near Choat, had a great revival with 30 conversions within 8 days. The meeting was conducted by Rev. A. M. Mccutcheon of Newborn, Tenn., who is said to be a revivalist. The meeting closed Wednesday night. Money raised during the 8 days $5520. THE AMERICAN RED CROSS IN PEACE TIME With the Soldiers There remain in army hospitals throughout the country more than 20,000 soldiers still being treated for wounds received overseas. Red Cross workers give them the same sort of friendly aid—only more of it—that was given during the war. Furthermore, the Red Cross is teaching these lads occupations at which they can later make a living and is keeping in touch with their home folks in order that no dependents may suffer for lack of funds. Rev. Henry Allen Boyd Subscribe for the Gazette. W. L. Krone, Atty., Wins Suit in Ky., Circuit Court. The suit of Dora Williams filed Dec. 3rd 1918 against William Moore and his wife Mary Moore in the McCracken Circuit Court at Paducah was tried by Judge William Reed yesterday and the court gave to Dora Williams judgment for her property. The suit arose a transaction in question at Paducah which Moore claimed to have about the property of Dora Williams on Pearl street in Metropolis next door to Boyd McCane for the consideration of $20.00 which after getting a quitclaim deed therefore, traded it to Leah Reed for a house and lot on Harrison street in Paducah, Ky. The proof showing that at the time of the exchange of property by Moore and Reed that Dora Williams was in East St, Luis waiting on a sick aunt and that her husband Fern Williams was in the service. Atty, Krone, has associated with him Atty, Harve Evans, and the next step to be taken is to secure Dora's home in Metropolis, that was taken from her for $20 00 also damage for her house-hold goods and wearing apparel. They say they will fight it though all the courts now, since they have been given the property in Paducah, as they will not stand for such a deal as was put up against Dora. The readers of the Gazette will remember that we called attention to the transaction at the time about two years ago. It has been in the courts ever since. Colp. Colp, Ill., Dec. 2, 1920.

New York, Dec. 7.—As a result of the wave crime that has swept over Jersey City for the last few weeks, having a wake of attacks, robberies, and other crimes in its path, Public Service Commissioner Charles F. X. O'Brien of Jersey City issued an order today that all Negroes must be off the streets of Jersey City by 9 o'clock at night. This order was issued after a conference today between the commissioner, Chief Battersby, and all inspectors and captains. Hearing of the drastic order against the Negroes, the Rev. W. A Byrd, Negro pastor of the Lafayette Presbyterian church, voiced the protest of the Negroes and threatened to cite the police heads into court later in the day. Notice to the churches of General Association of the State of Illinois. Greetings: Dear Pastors and Churches, that go to make, up the organization of our great Association of the grand old State of Illinois. I have had a number of letters from the Foreign Mission Head-quarters at Louisville, Ky., urging the churches, S. S', B. Y. P. U.'s, and Missionary Circles to please send in to the office what Foreign Mission Money they have in their treasureries, it will help the cause so much. The time is set for our missionaries to sail in January 1921, and if we who the Board must depend upon, do not rally to that Board, they cannot do the work we hope to do along the line of Missions. My Brethren, let me suggest that all of our churches, together with their auxiliaries, send all of the money that we have on hand in our treasureries for our Feign mission, to our Foreign Mission Head-quarters at Louisville, Ky., Dr. J. H. Frank, chairman and receive a receipt for same, and send Dr. C, C. Phillips, Golconda, Ill., a duplicate of receipts, by so doing we can keep our State posted how much money we are giving to help support our Foreign work. Brethren, let's untie the hands of our Boards so they can do some tangible work for our missionaries on the Foreign Fields, and take care of our educational project of our B. Y. P. U., Uniou Review Boards and all of our Boards. If we will do what we can for our work each month, when we go up or down to National Convention, we will do equally as much as we do every year at the Convention, thereby we will increase our Financial standard of our work, and our Boards will not be so handicapped in the work you have elected them to do May God bless this message to the good of our entire Brotherhood, and to His own glory, is my earnest prayer.

Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrhat deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Circulare free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

DEALT LENIENTLY WITH HIM Consumer's Action, of Course, Was Treasenable, But Caliph Proved a Kindly Man. "What is the charge against this man?" asked the caliph, with a sympathetic gleam in his benevolent eye. "Your honor," said the attendant, "it appears that he attempted to start a private drive of his own for his family." "A private drive! Why, this is treasenable. Who is he?" "He is just a consumer, your honor, just a private citizen, a man who apparently belongs to the middle class, at the head of a large family. Upon being questioned, he told the inspector, with a loud and unseemly laugh, that for many moons he had been asked to contribute to everything—all kinds of reliefs, governments, etc., and with all this burden he was forced to pay 25 cents a pound for anger, $2) a month for a cook, $10) for a suit, and other things in proportion. And, on your honor, with a mad laugh, he started a private drive of his own, announcing that if anybody in America needed relief, it was he." The caliph shook his head easily, for he was not an unkind man. "Poor wretch," he said. "Do not confine him too rigorously. Keep him on nourishing things, keep his feet warm, and try to nurse his reason back. It is evident that the situation in which he has found his beloved country has unhinged his mind."—Rehoboth Sunday Herald. Aged Aviation Devotee France's younger generation has been encouraged to use air locomotion by an old lady of eighty-three, says a Paris correspondent of the London Times. She is Mine. Hemery, a charwoman, who lives in the country, where airplanes pass every day. It was in 18TS when she first left the ground, when she tasted the delights of ballooring, and, seeing, as she did, the new airbird daily above her, she could not resist trying the new sensation. Thus one day she had saved sufficient money from her meager earnings and took a trip in the air. She did this without the knowledge of her many grandchildren, who were completely shocked when the news reached them. She is in no way perturbed and is determined as soon as funds allow to try looping the loop. And Dew Drops. Struck by the notice "Iron sinks" in a hardware shop window, a wag went inside and said that he was perfectly aware of the fact that "iron sank." Alive to the occasion, the smart shopkeeper retaliated: "Yes, and time flies, but wine vaults, sulphur springs, jam rolls, grass slopes, music stands, Niagara falls, moonlight walks and holiday trips, scandal spreads, standard weights, India rubber tires, the organ stops, trade returns, and—" But the visitor had bolted. After collecting his thoughts he returned, and showing his head at the doorway, shouted: "Yes, I know, and marble busts!"—Science and Invention Magazine. Trust Controls Chinese Dye. Trust Controls Chinese Dye. That the manufacture of the red dye used by the Chinese to color firecrackers for export to America is controlled by a native "trust" with headquarters in Hongkong is the intelligence brought to this country by a Filipino now studying at the New York State College of Forestry, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. The dye is used also in making the florid seals with which the Chinese certify their more important documents. WON BY APPEAL TO VANITY New Wily Diplomat Saved Lord Bea conefield From Bad "Break" He Had Contemplated. Curiosity, says a London correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor, is frequently expressed as to how the prime minister gets along in his conferences with foreign ministers. It is understood that, though he can make out the purport of a printed passage in the French language, he never had the opportunity of acquiring facility in the spoken tongue. In this respect he finds a precedent in the case of Lord Beaconsfield. When he went to the Berlin congress in 1878 he made known to his faithful secretary his intention of addressing the conference in French. Monty Cory, having suffered scraps of his chief's colloquial French, was aghast. In despair he applied to the British minister at Berlin for assistance. Odo Russell lived up to the occasion. In casual conversation with Lord Beaconsfield he mentioned that he had heard a rumor that he intended to address the plenipotentiaries on the following day in French. "That would," the wily minister said, "be a grave disappointment. They know that they have here in you the greatest living master of English oratory, and are looking forward to your speech as the intellectual treat of their lives." "Dizzy" immediately saw the reasonableness of this objection and all his speeches during the sittings of the congress were in English. COULDN'T LEAVE EMILY OUT Pacuiller Reason Why Elderly Spinster Just Had to Attend the Word has come to the mid-Victoriaan lady that an old friend of her mother's had died suddenly in her home in Maine. It was her duty to break the sad news to two elderly spinisters, cousins of the dear departed "auntie." She found Miss Susan at home, tending to her pet canary. Miss Susan is 78, but spry and alert, ready for any emergency. Miss Emily, five years older, was out motoring with a kindly benefactress. The slow tears of old age trickled down Miss Susan's checks at the word that another of her generation had passed away. And then, with a quick transition, she began excited plans for attending the funeral, which involved a trip by boat to Portland and a long and grand ride in a day coach. But the thought of all this, coupled with midwinter heat, did not danat the little lady. She would go. "But, at least, Miss Susan," urged the messenger, "you'll not take, Miss Emily with you." "And, my dear," said the lady to the woman, when she told her story over a cold lunch, "what do you suppose Miss Susan said? Seriously, in her slow drawl, she replied: 'Oh, I couldn't leave Emily behind. You see she has so little fun in her life.'" Scraping the Ballet. The woman who had charge of the voting machine placed in one of the downtown stores for use in the instruction of women first voters, met a number of unusual and amusing situations. A few days ago, a well-dressed woman who had all the appearances of being well informed on matters political, entered the section where instructions were being given, and after making the usual preliminary anologies, asked the young woman in charge to demonstrate the operation of the machine. She was shown what she should do in case she wished to vote a straight ticket, but this failed to satisfy her craving for instructions, and the climax was reached when she innocently requested: "And now would you mind showing me how I should work the machine if I wish to 'scrape' my ballot?" Furs All Her Fortune. "Alaska produces a large variety of beautiful, and valuable furs upon land," says Andrew J. Stone in the Century. "It has 13 varieties of bears, six species of fox—black, blue, cross, red, silver and white—and all common land furs. The skins of its foxes are of the highest quality and are larger than those produced in any other country. The Alaska moose is the largest land animal found on the western hemisphere. The meat is as choice as the best of beef and the skin makes excellent footwear and is much worn during the winter months. The caribou, like the reindeer, lives almost exclusively upon mosses, and inhabits nearly all parts of the country except the southern coast country. They are found in large herds and supply man with millions of pounds of meat. Helium From Natural Gas. Up to a little more than a year ago helium was a laboratory product made at a cost of from $1,500 to $2,000 per cubic foot, but toward the close of the war its production had been simplified to the point that 8,000 cubic feet per day was produced in Texas alone. The commercial production of helium has been stimulated by the need of a substitute for hydrogen, which is so highly inflammable that its value for military purposes in dirigibles and kite balloons is gravely impaired. Although the substitution of helium for this purpose entails a loss of 7 percent in lifting power, this is more than compensated for by the elimination of all risk of fire and explosion. Helium suffers less loss by diffusion than hydrogen and cannot be made to burn or explode under any conditions. SHAKESPEAR SAID: "All The World Grant the truth now as then.
