All persons indebted to said estate are required to make immediate payment to the undersigned. Dated this 5th day of August, A. D. 1921. S. Bartlett Kerr, Administrator: CROWD ATTACKS NEGRO TORTURER IN COURTROOM Police Rescue Slayer Held for Murder. The sordid side of life is an everyday story in the Des Plaines street police court. Yesterday, however, the roomful of people who knew hard knocks and have been scared by misfortune, listened, appalled at the frightfulness and horror of the tale of how Roy Butler, 26 year old Negro, mistreated the two sons of the woman with whom he was living, killing one and torturing the other almost to the point of death. "Let's lynch him," was the whisper that passed throughout the courtroom. Negro Held for Murder. "I order you hed to the grand jury on a charge of mayhem, bonds of $50,000; a charge of int' to murder, bonds $25,000; crucify to children, bonds $2,000, and on a charge of murder without bail." said Judge Lawrence B. Jacobs after he had heard the last of the testimony. "It was the signal Rough hands, women as well as men, wrested Butler from the control of he po I e. Some sought to tear him limb from limb; others to get him outside the courtroom and away from the police. Lieut. William Murphy and every available policeman rushed to the defense of law and order. Butler was rescued and landed safely in a cell. Tortured Infant to Death. Butler invaded the home of Mrs. Rena Coeman two years ago and drove her husband away. Haro'd Coleman, 21-2 years old, was killed by the brutality of Butler. Butler and Mrs. Coleman fled from the authorities, who sought the facts of Harold's death. Last Monday detectives of the Warren avenue station learned of the torture being inflicted upon Harvey Coleman by his supposed father. Hung up by the trunumbs for hours, boiling water poured over his legs, and the blisters pricked with a needle, were frequent happenings in the boy's life. His mother was also held to the grand jury — Chicago Tribune. METROPOLIS, ILL. This is the amount taken up during the four night's Carnival. The total amount was $15.25.

DAVE MILLER TO BE TRIED----SHOT WIFE, ACCIDENTLY KILLS DR. C.J.J. W. BOYD. The state of Louisiana is to prosecute to the limit Dave Miller who is charged with murder in the first degree, he having shot and killed his wife in the Freedman Hall in New Orleans, La., during the recent session of the National Baptist Convention, and at the same time accidently shot and killed the late Rev. C. J. W. Boyd, the secretary of the Educational Board of the National Baptist Convention which operates the National Baptist Theological and Training Seminary in this city. This information came in a letter addressed to Rev. Henry A. Boyd, the secretary of the Sunday School Congress, who was in the hall with upwards of five thousands of other visitors and members of the convention when the shooting took place. The letter was written by Rev. J. L. Burrell, D. D., who was one of the leaders of the local committee that entertained the National Baptist Convention. Rev. Mr. Boyd is also in possession of a letter from the prosecuting attorney for the parish of Louisiana in which state New Orleans is located. A number of eye witnesses have been summoned, and it is thought that the Rev. E. D. Hubbard, D. D., of Chicago, Illinois, who was to sail for Alida, will be kept in this country as a star witness, as it was the Rev. Dr. Hubbard, D. D. who captured Dave Miller, the slayer, after he had done the shooting while the pistol was still smoking, and who narrowly escaped being shot himself, as the slayer snapped the pistol twice in his face, but his vice like grip upon the criminal prevented his escape. President Jones also stated that the National Baptist Convention had already arranged to contribute largely toward the funds in pushing the prosecution CARPENTRY WORK SOLICITED.

Mount Pleasant, Tex. —Wylie McNeelly, negro, was born to death by a mob near Leesburg, Camp County, shortly after midnight last night. He had been arrested charged with assault upon a girl. The negro was seized by the mob when he attempted to leap from the jail to an automobile waiting to spirit him away from the crowd which had surrounded the jail. Little excitement attended the burning and all evidences of the grim affair had been removed this morning. McNeely was a rested Sunday following the attack on the girl and hurried to Mt. Pleasant, Titus County. A mob visited the jail there Sunday night, but failed to get the negro. Late yesterday Sheriff John J. Reese was advised, that several hundred persons from Leesburg, had started for Mt Pleasant in automobiles. The offices arranged to spirit McNeely away and just as darkness set in had the negro climb from a rear window of the jail, with the intention of placing him in an automobile. Unknown to Sheriff Reese part of the mob had surrounded the jail, however, and as the negro climbed from the window he was seized, quietly placed in an automobile and started for Leesburg. Enroute the mob was joined by hundreds of others, and when Leesburg was reached the funeral pyre was quickly prepared on a vacant lot in the edge of town. Her instructions.

SAVVANNAH MAN IS FATHER OF THIRTY-TWO CHILEREN. Savannah, Ga., Oct. 10.—A. B. Burgess, a Savannah negro, employed by the Atlantic Coast Lire Railway, probably has the largest family in Georgia. He is the father of thirty-two children and has had three wives. Twenty-six of of these children are living. When a newspaper reporter went to see Burgess and his numberous offspring he found them all living happily and contented in the suburbs. The negro has been blessed with seven sets of twins and two sets of triplets. The oldest son is 45 and the other members of the family are married, giving Burgess innumerable grandchildren. When the last set of twins were born Burgess and his wife had run out of names and they grew up nameless, financially selecting their own names when they entered public school. Burgess shied at selecting names when he found that among his rogeny he had been "doubling up," having two "Willies" and two "Sallies" in the flock—Ex.

Milk for Babies Jersey and Guernsey cows give rich fat-producing milk, and for that reason their milk has been regarded as too rich for infants. It is still true that the milk of the Ayrshire and the Holstein is better suited to infants than the Jersey and Guernsey milk, but the cause is not the fat, as has been thought. The fact is that the casein of the Ayrshjre and Molatein milk is decidedly more flocculated and not so readily curdled in the stomach, so that it is the most easily digested by children. DAILY GIRL No trait of a girl's character is more prized than a sweet and happy disposition. It makes the home life bright, it smooths away the little coughness, and it is like a ray of sunshine that brightens the darkest corners and drives away discontent and gloom.

MUST HAVE ADAPTIVE TASTE Veteran Traveler Declares Globe Trotter Can Not Be Over Nice One of the first things a young man who wants to see the world should learn is how to eat. Otis Warren Barrett says so, and if anyone knows he does, He has been wandering into queer parts of the world for the government for years past and he is never sick, says the Kansas City Star. "Train the palate," says Mr. Barrett. "I can live on palm oil chop in Liberia or raw fish in Japan and never have a qualm. I may not prefer monkeys boiled in grease and eaten with the bare hand, but I can eat monkeys with the host of monkey eaters. The man who is particular about tits chop hud best stay at home." Mr. Barrett has made a success of wandering. He is one of the greatest of our agricultural experts. His latest exploit is to teach the natives of the palm countries how to make white sugar out of palm sap—which they never knew before—by which process four hundred and fifty thousand tons of the finest sugar imaginable has been added to the sugar total of the world. In all his years of wandering in swamp and jungle he has never been seriously ill, and he attributes this in part to the fact that he can live at the local table without replacing. "Gassavie paste isn't very good," said Mr. Barrett, reminiscently. "It doesn't taste like anything, and it is so sticky that if a man were to attempt to chew it his jaws might be clamped together or perhaps his teeth might be pulled out. One just makes a little ball of it, rolls it in gravy as a lubricant, and lets it slip down." 14 NEGRO Y. M. C. A'S. FORMED IN 8 YEARS. --- Chicago Man Cives $25,000 to Each New Organization. Chicago Ill. Oct. 10 — Fourteen negro Y. M. C. A's have been built in as many cities during the past eight years, and efforts are being made to erect several more, L. Wilbur Messer general secretary of the Chicago Y. M. C. A., reports. Total cost has been $1,980,000. These building were put up with the help of Julius Rosenwald, of this city. Under a standing offer of $25,000 toward each n w one he has contributed a total of $350,000, and his offer has still a year and a halt to run Paid-up membership in the negro associations numbers 22,000 and they reach many more, Messer said. That in Chicago, the first and largest had about 2500 men and boy members last year. It was a Rosenwald's suggestion and with his help that the plan was tried here and his gifts to other cities continues to be made thru the Chicago Y. M. C. A. George A. Arthur is in charge of the Chicago negro department at Negro management is the rule through all fourteen of these departments. Arthur had made a success in business before he resolved to pioneer in this field, and Messer reports he has conducted his department "with success and credit, and that there is no more loyal Y. M. C. A in Chicago." The budget of Arthi's department this year is $86,000 and the negroes will pay about 87 per cent of it. Adjustment of the rural negro of the South to the industrial North is a more difficult problem than that of the immigrant, according to Arthur. He adds that the colored Y. M. C. A.'s have been the chief factor in their communities in promo ing this reacjustment because they were the only institutions that had the ne essary equipment, metho s and leadership already at hand. Gangs of young negro toughs have been broken up, Arthur reports, by petting their members interested in swimming and other sports. He works largely on industrial lines, having eleven baseball teams organized this year in nearby packing houses and industrial plants. He also has formed efficiency clubs within the plants. Other negro Y M C. A. Are located in New York, Brooklyn, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Columbus, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Naslville, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Baltimore, Washington and Atlanta. "Automobile" Street Car. Mechanical arrangement similar in many respects to that of an automobile is the distinguishing feature of a new form of gasoline-driven interurban car described in Popular Mechanics Magazine. Though the body, seating 35 passengers, is like that of a standard modern street car, there is a long hood extending in front, in which the 50-horsepower engine is mounted. An auto-type gear shift is provided, and a shaft transmits the power to the rear wheels. Air brakes, electric lights, and a hot water heating plant are other details of the equipment. The car makes a round trip of 40 miles in a little more than two and one-half hours, consuming about five and one-half gallons of gasoline, or one gallon to seven miles. "Ah!" exclaimed the fallen baseball star as he wiped away a tear. "If I had only thought about that song the young people were singing when I was a bush league player!" "What was it?" asked a sympathetic friend. "Take Back Your Gold!"—Birmingham Age-Herald. Read The Gazette What Frost does to a Concrete Road Keeping the Road open Highways for Trucks [National Crop Improvement Service] In building a concrete road, there should be no compromise. We have learned to our sorrow that those communities which have constructed a onetrack, thin slab of concrete have been sadly disappointed and it is difficult to get enthusiasm in that neighborhood for more concrete roads. When we build let us build the best we know how. Let us insure that our gravel roads will be so graded and drained that the water may never stand upon the surface. A cement road can best be laid over a good gravel road which has had its bed pounded down for years. There is no form of road so economical, and it is practically good for all time. If the foundation is good and the concrete mixture is right. Steel has an affinity for concrete, the two practically expanding and contracting equally. The greatest combination for permanence is concrete and steel. This is proven to every one's satisfaction in building a concrete tower or bridge. They are invariably re-enforced with steel. For the same reason a concrete highway must be re-enforced. If a Keen Ro [National Crop Improvement Service.] Ever in the most populous sections of Illinois, a half day's rain will unroam every family outside of the village limits. This is just as true a few miles from Chicago as it is a few miles out of Cairo; and throughout the center of the state, farmers are often compelled to wait for days before they can pull their cars out of the mud. In the wintertime the best roads are kept clean with snow plows, but where those roads have become deeply rutted and where there is only a day or two between snowstorms, the road crews, being overworked, cannot possibly get those roads clear. In consequence the farmers get out their hobs and when they come to a drift in the road merely take down the fence and drive across the field. This is death on the farmers' automobiles because, as a rule, the boysbobs are much narrower in tread and the Highways [National Crop Improvement Service] Miles upon miles of good gravel road in illinois have been utterly ruined by the heavy trucking service which is using them daily and the sad part of it is that the better a road originally, the more the trucks have cut it up. The time has come and we may as well admit it, when we must build a system of good roads which will stand heavy traffic so that auto trucks may handle much of the short-hail freight of the country, relieving the railroad of this class of business and enabling them to take care of the long hauls. Good roads for trucking will prevent another freight congestion which has paralyzed business ever since the war. Many experts say that this freight congestion had a very important part in bringing about the high cost of living. It is generally agreed that concrete roads will adequately take care of the traffic as we have known it for the Thought and Kindness Post Thought and Kindness Post. It is not written blessed is he that wealth the poor, but he that consid- erth the poor. A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.—John Knackt. road cracks and splits for lack of re-enforcing, it becomes very costly to keep it in repair. It is a clumsy expedient at best to pour these cracks full of soft asphalt. These cracks will constantly widen unless re-enforced and the roads soon break up into chuck holes. "Probably the most satisfactory method in point of efficiency yet devised for reducing the number of objectionable cracks in concrete pavements, is that of employing steel re-enforcement," says the office of public ronds in Bulletin No. 240, United States Department of Agriculture. A steel fabric will strengthen a cement road the same as a wire netting will re-enforce wire glass against breakage by fire or other causes. It is said that the additional expense of steel re-enforcement should not be more than 5 per cent. We cannot afford to go to the great expense of building a concrete road and omitting this very important detail. Let us do it right in the first place because it will be difficult to sell bonds to maintain or reconstruct that road if it goes to pieces. eping the road open cars therefore have to make a new track. Where there is a reinforced concrete pavement, it is comparatively easy to run the plows and these roads are in daily operation where the back roads are piled full of drifts. The frost is perhaps the greatest enemy to a concrete road, therefore it is necessary to reinforce this road with steel. Both sides of the road will rise with a freeze in the fall and lower with the thaw in the spring, making a great binge in the center. This accounts for the jagged longitudinal cracks which appear after one season in any road not properly reinforced. The additional cost of steel reinforcement is said to be only about 5 per cent of the expense of the road. Other states are learning from experience that no road is properly made unless reinforced. We should profit by the experience of other states. Let us do it right while we are doing it. for Trucks just few years, but what about the immense increase in heavy hauling? What about the millions of new cars which are being purchased by farmers and dwellers in the small towns? We must build for the future. We must anticipate our needs which will probably crowd our roads and submit them to severe stress. We must adequately strengthen our roads to take care of this enormous traffic. We must see that the foundation is deep and solid; then the roads must be graded and drained to carry off the water. Then we must select the very best materials available and make the slab of sufficient thickness and strength to carry the load; and perhaps most important, we must take every precaution against frosts and unusual wear and tear, re-enforcing this concrete slab with steel. The additional cost is but triting, but without this very important feature, our whole road-building program may be a failure. A Crime Self-Punished.

Does He not now desire and seek the Mary's of today who break their alabaster boxes of love and pour the precious ointment on the heads of the sick and sorrowing and suffering of the earth, and thereby fill the entire world with the fragrance of christianity? Christian women, let us go, and as we go, let us cry One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism. God bless the work, E. M. LONG, State Missionary 519 E. Howard St., Centralia, Ill.

Subscribe For Gazette Now Get the Get the Water off the Road [National Crop Improvement Service] Engineers generally classify road drainage under three heads: cross surface, longitudinal or side surface, and sub-drainage. Under present day practice, there is seldom a paved road that does not provide perfect cross drainage, at least from the center of the road to the edge of the paved way. Beyond that, perfection in drainage is a very difficult matter. The average concrete road has a perfectly shaped shoulder between the concrete and the drainage ditch and the road thus completed may be said to be in perfect condition. But ordinary roads are not wide enough for two loads of hay or for two rows of speeding vehicles to pass without the wheels on one side of each car running along the dirt shoulder which protects the motorist from going into the ditch. After every rain some of this shoulder dirt washes into the ditch. A big truck plows up a ridge and the next car throws this dirt which soon chokes the channel provided for carrying off the surplus water. Subscribe for Subscribe for The Gazette Phone 364 L.

Water off the Road So it may be said that unless a line of tile is laid with suitable catch basins which may be cleaned from time to time, this primitive ditching soon becomes worthless or worse. Ordinary maintenance will not save this trouble; the ruts may be filled, but in a half hour later the same thing may happen again. Concrete is the popular road and the most serviceable, but concrete even when reinforced with steel will have to go down with the shoulder when the shoulder is undermined by water. Therefore the water must be disposed of at some distance from the road. After the drainage problem has been solved, the solidity of the road bed must be considered. Many a fine-looking road has gone to pieces because the base has not been properly settled. Above all, every stretch of concrete road should be reinforced with steel. If a road cracks and splits for lack of reinforcing, it becomes very costly to keep in repair. It will break out worse and worse day after day The Gazette Page Four St. Louis Globe-Democrat is the Authentic, Unbiased Record of every Home Foreign News Event Every Day—Its News Gather Organization Covers the Earth.
