THE NEW HOLIDAY HOTEL THE PROPOSED NEW MASONIG TEMPLE R THE PRO To Be Erected On What We Should Give To God. There are three things at least we should give to God, namely: Time talent and money. We don't many realize what it means. In fact there are many per connected with the church who have never learned of its value nor have they considered the real importance of being connected therewith. They have not yet learned that the church has a special mission beyond the gathering in of human beings. They are yet to learn that the institution we call the church was set apart to save, gather in and instruct for spiritual development. In every movement of the church there are demands made upon our time, talent and money. 1. Our time is a prime essential. It is a foregone conclusion that to promote any cause however email, a man time is in demand. 2. Our talent is to be given to God. The very best in intellect is to be utilized in his service. 3. Our money is to be given to God. Whatever we have as a means of conducting our material affairs is needed and demanded in God's service. The Children of Israel were condemned because they failed to contribute their money to promote the cause of religion When people fail to give money the cause must fail. The Bible gives us to understand that it is a blessed thing to give. It is more blessed to give than to receive Act. 20 35 God loves a cheerful giver. II. Cor. 9:7. The liberal soul shall be made fat. Prov. 11:26. Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me in tithes and offerings Mal. 3:8. By the above quotations we learn that to give to God's cause is both a duty and a privilege. Make worthy investment for God now while you live and enjoy your spiritual dividends before you die. Make your gifts according to your income or God may make your income according to your gifts. MRS. A. C. BOLDEN. Read before the quarterly Meeting of the East Mt. Olive Institute Mt. Vernon, Ill.

The community has just recently learned of the marriage of Miss Sarah Rector, reputed to be the richest Colored girl in America, and Kenneth Campbell, crack high school athlete and winner of a scholarship to Lincoln University. Miss Rector will be remembered as being amongst the first of the Colored Oklahoma Oil land owners.

New York, Oct. 30 — Something is always happening to upset the smug assurances of race theoists that "It can't be done." Twenty Negro couples were among the guests of the America's Making Carnival and dance at the Hotel Asto. 44th Street and Broadway, Friday evening, Oct. 27th. Thirty-six-racial and national groups were represented in an unusual precedented and myth destroying get-together. The program was a mixture of special entertainment and social dancing. The great Louis Chalif and Russian dancers, the Erzi Sisters and Dolly Sisters. Finnish English, Carpatho Russian and Swedish folk dances provided unique entertainment for those who did not dance. But Negroes can dance and did. The magnificent Grand Ball Room provided pretty setting for this group with the charming women hand-somely gowned, its men suave and graceful. They were, as the America's Making program courageously asserted and demonstrated-a part of America. Among the Negro gues's were: Dr. and Mrs. W. E. B DuBois, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Kinckle Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald F. Norman, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Pace, Dr. and Mrs. E. R. Alexander, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Elzy, Dr. and Mrs. Geo.

For $12,000 Mrs. Salena [Seruggs Enters Charge That She Was Maliciously and Cruelly Treated by Agent of The Tennessee National. A damage suit for $12,000 to declare that Mrs. Salena Scroggs, 3009 Pine Street was maliciously injured by the Tennessee Mutual Insurance Company and the Company's agent, K. G. Rucker, white, 4406 Vista Street, was filed in the Circuit Wednesday by Attorney N. A. Mitchell, retained by Mrs. Scroggs. The plaintiff's petition recites that the injuries she sustained where Rucker cruelly assaulted her, July 27, resulted in her ill health being greatly inspired. It is said that he kicked the woman several times in the stomach because she objected to his familiarity with her. On August 25, Rucker was brought before Judge Charles Powers in City Court No. 1 and fined $25 00 and cost. According to a statement made by Mrs. Scroggs, she was a police holder of the Tennessee National Insurance Company for ten years. Her policy was cancelled, and she says it was done because of Rucker's revenge for her. Pres. Harding Gives League An Audience. Sen. Lodge Arranges [A Meeting For Nat'l. Equal Rights League Boston, Mass. Oct. 21.—Today Senator Henry Cabot Lodge telephoned to national headquarters of the National Equal Rights League at 24 Cornhill that in response to his request, sent at the Leauge's solicitation, he had received a telegram from the President's secretary stating that the President would grant an audience to the League to present its petition on the Dyer Bill Extra Session at noon of Saturday, Nov. 4. The League started the petition for an extra session soon after Congress had adjourned without reaching consideration of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, as a means of expediting, if not actually saving the bill, which was left next on the calendar to the Liberian Loan Bill. Thousands of signatures have been secured from over fifteen different states. One is from Tulsa, Oklahoma, several from Georgia and Mississippi. The petition will be sent by a messenger from Boston who will conduct the audience. The point sought will be to get the President to specify the Dyer Bill in his call. The race is asked to send such a request to the President from Sunday on—individually, through churches, lodges and organizations and from all political meetings held Monday night; also ask their senators and congressmen to write the president.

Money's an odd sort of commodity and some persons know very little of actual cash from intimate acquaintance. Harry Veness tells of an old sourdough of the Klondike, who had a valuable claim after several years of dangers and hardships in the North. He came to Seattle and operators who realized the value of his holdings had tried to buy him out for $100,000, but it was no use, the prospector held on. Then came the wise man who made the deal, and for one-tenth of that sum. The stage-managed proposition was worked like this: The operators cornered their man on the main street and induced him to accompany them to a dark little office off Marion street. There they talked Alaska and mining until they thought they had their man in the proper frame of mind. They opened up the subject of a deal and he admitted he had been offered $100,000. "And you'll never sell for that?" one said, and when the miner said "No" the would-be purchaser went to a table near by that was covered with a cloth and -snatched the covering away. There, stacked in neat but careless appearing piles, was $10,000 in bright, new shiny $20 gold pieces. "There's what we'll give you," shouted one of the operators as he saw the miner's eyes glum. "You just sign the deed, and take the money." And the miner, unused to money, carried away by the sight of real coin, signed.—Portland Oregonian. SPEEDED UP POSTAL SERVICE First Exclusive Transportation of the Malis, in 1875, Was Watched With Intense Interest. The first exclusive mail train was placed in service Sept. 18, 1875. Leaving New York, it arrived on schedule time in Chicago the following day, after a journey of twenty-six hours. Great interest was taken at that time in this all-postal train, which carried the western mail from New York to Chicago at a greater speed than any passenger train could command, and, furthermore delivered that mail at Chicago distributed and arranged for immediate dispatch to other lines, or for delivery by carrier in Chicago. With the beginning of the year 1890 the mail between New York and San Francisco was also carried on fast trains, consuming less time than the fastest passenger train. Fast trains between Chicago and Omaha ran the more than 500 miles in less than ten hours. An important feature of the new service was that by which mail bags were caught without stopping the trains, and which brought even small towns the benefit of speedy service, the Detroit News states. Blueberry Rapture. Both these splendid varieties of berries (high and low growing), which are probably the best berry growing on bushes in the world, are a free gift of God to the people of New England. Beautiful in its white or slightly roseate flower, beautiful in leaf and habit, the bush is, of course, most lovely when laden down with its cerulean berries—large, round and plump, dusted over with a fine soft fuzz or bloom, and packed full almost to the point of bursting with a juice which is more delicous than any known nectar. The ripe, rich, woodsy flavor of the perfect New England blueberry is indescribable. In it the perfume of the wild rose and of the clover; in matters of the palate the savior of the blueberry is precisely what the bell-like note of the woodthrush is in the domain of sound. Esthetically, as well as in habitat, the two are closely associated. Both sensations are ineffable, and quite without parallel in nature.—"Nomad" in Boston Transcript. Misunderstood. He was in his first week at college, and when he went to the stationer's to buy a fountain pen he felt desirous that the young woman who waited on him should know that in spite of his youth he was no high-school boy. When she handed him a sheet of paper he wrote on it, with many flourishes, in a large, bold hand. "Alma Mater, Alma Mater," eight or nine times. The clerk watched him with a simper, and at last she spoke. "Why don't you let her try it herself," she suggested, "and then if it doesn't suit, of course, we'll change it." — Milwaukee Sentinel. Swallows Cover World. Swallows, it has been established by experiment, migrate from England to South Africa, 5,000 miles. A man in Berkshire, in 1921, fastened a mark on a swallow and turned it loose. The bird was reported as having been caught five months later at Jansenville, South Africa. Other marked swallows, liberated in England, have been reported from Natal, Orange Free State, Cape Province and the Transvaal. Her Revised Grammar.

C.), in his “Republic,” and by Adam Ferguson (1728-1816) in his “History of Civil Society.” In modern industry very Uttle Is due to the direct operation of the human hand; almost everything 4s done by a machine, The develop- ment of steam and electricity as the motive ‘power both of production and exchange, has along with the parallel development of machinery completely revolutionized the conditions of indus try, necessitating a division of labor ‘on a far wider basis than that con- templated by Adam Smith, At the present day it Is not a mere question ‘of personal adaptation, but of local, na- tional and international fitness and spe- cialization for carrying on different forms of industry. Division of labor hag become only a factor In the wid- er problem of the organization of In- bor, necessary to the success of every great industrial undertaking.—Cleve- land Plain Dealer. WRITER’S NAME WILL LIVE Superficial Critics Have Misjudged the Work Given to the World by Sir Walter Raleigh, It 1s something of a paradox that the last work of Sir Walter Ralelgh, “The War In the Aly,” should have been the history of a great modern adventure, written upon a large scale. To those who knew Raleigh, whose death a vast number of friends and iseiples are deploring, only by his works, he may have seemed somewhat detached from the life about him, and intent upon the niceties and elegancles of style. The most of hts books deal with the past, In which the superficlal eritie might think Ralelgh was finding 4n eseape from reality. ‘The super- ficial critle of course woutd have been wrong, Like all good writers, Raleigh had an Intense Interest In all that was about him, Whatever he read he put always to the test of life, and thus found the best, the only commentary for the books which he loved fuil well—From “Musings Without Meth- ‘od In Blackwood's Magazine, All Was Quiet.

To offset the serious losses in the citrus fruit industry occurring through bruised, undesigned or oversized oranges, grapefruit and lemons usually allowed to go to waste, the bureau of chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture has investigated methods for getting by-products that will return a profit to the grower. Some of these products require a preliminary expense for equipment, but it has been demonstrated that the investment can soon be made profitable. Grapefruit juice, which is increasing in popularity, can be easily made if directions for pressing, straining, pasteurizing, clarifying, sweetening and bottling the juice are carefully followed. These directions may be obtained from the department. A blend of grapefruit juice with loganberry juice has been found popular. Orange vinegar is a satisfactory substitute for apple vinegar and should be made in districts where many cull oranges would otherwise be a total loss. Citric acid is a valuable commercial article which can be made from cull lemons or limes if proper apparatus is installed. Other by-products from citrus fruits often wasted include candled citrus peel, for use as a confection or by bakers in place of citron, marinades, jellies, butters and pectin. Principles of Flying Set Out by Louis Pierre Mouillard Have Been Proved Correct. Who was the first gilder? In supplying an answer there is room for the patriots of many outlaws to delve in medieval annals. Italy and France have a good case. Jean Baptiste Dane is said to have made a successful glide at Perugia in the Fifteenth century, while the marquis of Bacquerville, in the middle of the bighteenth century, skimmed across the Seine at Paris. Details of a convincing kind are, however, lacking. But there is no doubt of the theoretical claims of the Frenchman Louis Pierre Monillard, who died a quarter of a century ago in poverty at Cairo. In two volumes he set out the principles that should guide man in seeking conquest of the air. To seek to fly by imitating the beating of a bird's wing was not feasible. "Men should imitate such birds as fly with steady wings and avail themselves of the currents of the air." Ten years after Monillard was dead (with his dreams of an actual machine unfilled) the Wright brothers began the development of his ideas. Eskimos. Canada's mounted police count noses and find only about 2,700 Eskimos living in the Far North, not including Alaska. The low figure is surprising. Beginning with our first lessons in geography, we have heard so much about the Eskimos that most of us imagined they existed in much greater numbers. In bidding for fame, the Eskimos have had the additional handicap of never producing a great man. Despite mediocrity and fewness, the Eskimos have become known in all parts of the earth. This shows the power of advertising. Peculiar Well. The attention of the geological survey has been called to a peculiar well in Ohio, and has caused an investigation to be made of it. It appears that the well produces both fresh and salt water through two separate pumps. The explanation proves to be very simple. Two water-bearing beds, confined between layers of limestone, occur at this point, one above the other. The pipe of the fresh-water pump taps the upper vein at a depth of 16 feet. The pipe of the salt-water pump touches the tower vein at a depth of 35 feet; and the brine, being heavier than the fresh water, does not mix with it, but remains at the bottom. Meatless Diet in a Hospital. The experiment of a meatless diet is being tried in the Beth Israel hospital of New York by Superintendent J. Louis Frank. Until recently it was contended by some that meat was the source of vitamins, but this has been recently disproved by Dr. E. V. McCulom, professor of chemistry and hygiene of the Johns Hopkins university. From a medical standpoint it is now asserted that there is nothing inherent in meat that cannot be supplied by fish, milk, eggs and milk products. Tool-Carrying Device To be attached to the overalls, or to a belt, a tool-carrying device has been developed by a Seattle carpenter. It is designed for a hammer, hatchet, or similar tool, and, according to the Popular Mechanics Magazine, has two metal lugs which are caused to grasp the tool handle by the action of a spring latch operated by the weight of the tool. Getting It Out of His System. "Where are those cool nights you advertised?" "Just wait," said the proprietor of a summer hotel, confidently, "they'll be stong."

I'll admit my thoughts were more concentrated on the dance than on my work. A crusty old man came in and asked for a certain book. I went back to the stacks, gazed at the shelves, but didn't see it. "I am sorry," I said, glibly. "It's not in." "He gave me a long, suspicious look—my expression must have been particularly blank—and walked back to the shelves. "Here's the book," he said, with the utmost scorn in his voice. "It was in the right place." Just at this crucial moment in walked the chief librarian, of whom I stood in awe.

They are tiny plants, the smallest living things known. They are sometimes called bacteria or microbes. You might have some idea of the size of a germ if you could take a grain ofame and split it into a million pieces. Of course, some germs are larger than others, but the largest cannot be seen without the aid of a powerful microscope. --- Page Four
