PRESIDENT JONES'
A MASTER PIEC
Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 4. Never in the history of Negro Baptist workers was there more spiritual enthusiasm injected into a meeting than was shown at the opening of the thirty-eighth annual convention in session here today. A beautiful sitting and a patriotic demonstration was the result of the opening services. The Star Spangled Banner, sung by a chorus of more than two thousand five hundred messengers and representatives from the Baptist Churches throughout the United States. A chorus of two hundred voices lead the singing. American flags were waving and the vast audience sung until it seemed as though of the house being lifted. This was the American after which the chairman of the committee in an eloquent address told of Little Rock's aim and purpose in its effort to entertain the largest gathering of denominational workers in the United States and then surrendered the gavel to Edward P. Jones, D. D. of Vicksburg, Miss., who declared that the thirty-eight annual session had come to order. The meeting at once went into temporary organization and the committees on enrollment and finance which were named at the executive committee meeting at Alexandria, La., were announced and at once retired. These workers are to be in the city five days and the grave matters coming before them will be education, which takes in their Theological and Training School, which has been purchased at Nashville, said to be worth over fifty thousand dollars. It is the purpose to raise at least ten thousand dollars in this session, and the school property will be opened in October. Foreign Missions. Home Missions and State Missions will be the other themes up for consideration. Each of the boards co operating with the convention is to make its report at this session. The president made his annual address to. In it he covered everything facing his people at this peculiar crisis. It was a masterly effort and was delivered in a clear tone. Dr. Jones said in part;
"Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, blessed by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings, in heavenly places in Christ. According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before him in love." Ephesians 1:2.4.
"Twelve months ago after much consideration, and after we had enjoyed the princely entertainment accorded us by the people of Atlanta, led by on Dr. E. R. Carter, you adjourned to meet here in this, the "City of Roses," where violets, daisies, chrysanthemums and "forget-me-nots" do not die, but live on, gathering strength from the waters of yonder rolling Arkansas. This is a city ideal in its surroundings, with fertile valleys, and smiling hilltops and an occasional breath of mountain air staging and overdoing it founders in all that makes a busy thriving community. Great is Little Rock.
Drs. J. P. Robinson, J. S. Ladell, F. H. Cook, D. B. Gaines, R. B. Porter and many others live and add by their work, not only to the spiritual uplift of the city, but send everywhere throughout the state and nation an influence condemnatory of wrong and wickedness. They are voices in the wilderness crying aloud, "Prepare you the way of the Lord make his paths straight." You have come from every part of this country to make sure the everlasting truths, which 2000 years ago shook the plains of Judea and mountains of Gallilee, bullied the masters of Jerusalem, ten thousand furious devils seek the slimy bottom of the deep as their habitat, thus emphasizing that man made in God's image is only following the divine or walking in the King's high-way when in the consciousness of right he furrows the heart and plants therein not thorns of hate, but principles of love. Man falters, and despares when selfishness concludes the laughter and happiness of his soul, and fashions him into the service of a privileged few to the neglect of the less fortunate. The real man, the true man, sees no distinction, but goes forth to the uplift, the reclaim, and in the pathway of the despondent and hopeless brightly beams a ray of mercy, that minimizes evil in difference and magnifies brotherhood and love lives times, as your servant. I have met the sunshine and the rain, the hope ful and the hopeless, the braggart and the modest, the visionist and the blind, the truthful and the false, the shallow and the deep, the honest and the dish honest, the "know all", and the "know nothing." At times I followed the old Spanish trail, as it widened from the foot hills of Alabama and grows grey with the frost of centuries

NASHVILLE GLOBE. NASHVILLE A CITY OE OPPORTUNITY--THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE.
History is here illuminated, and feeds the mind, while infestion drops myriads of indescribable handwork finishing in gold the silvery shadows, which flash from the magnolia only to grow in, the pomegranate, standing on the seashore one hand catching the spray, and the other keeping time to the song birds with eyes piercing the endless sky; the busy gardens of native hanging gardens, the old warden, I have hoped for this hour when I might come into this presence and tell you of my stewardship. Whether in my own native state, the Carolinas, Ohio, Pennsylvania or Virginia, every where, because of your position, in all matters germanne and fundamentally constructive with one accord, triumph after triumph has marked our asest. As best I could your record has been unmodified, and I have made the truth and nothing but the truth, and the truth, the darkness has been dispersed many months, the miscarried conception will have disappeared and the unvarnished truth unconcerned save for the good of all mankind stand forth in mighty conquest.
The battle of ages fought on Calvary left the King of terrors pierced through and through with his own darts, and until this day his followers are inspired and fight for victory. When honor and Christian integrity are augmented by consistency as well as vision and confidence invincible forces are well geared, and power follows as the night, day. Are you as a Convention armed in the cause of righteousness and are you making permanent the landmarks of the church? Are you steadily adhering to the Golden Rule, and building for time and eternity a character unblemished for love and service? If such is your course, then, I hasten here to order you forward, on, in the pursuit of lifting as you climb. To pull down the outer covering of the great pyramids may be done by the rude Arab, to burn the Alexandrian library may be the work of an ignorant fanatic, to find a spot in the sun, but the possibility even to a little child, the building of the Egyptian writing of the Alexandrian Library, the creating of the sun; demand profound capacity. As men stretch themselves to forward the world's good, they develop. Hope begets hope. Dissent has its mission. The man who protests is always needed, but merely to find fault dwarfs the intellect and imprisons the soul. Constructive work is the most self-expensive that can be done, it is done at the cost of brain and heart, there is always the blood of the builder himself the permanently good is laid stone by welfare and the good of human welfare in the beauty. The glorification of the seed comes only after its death, and it is when the gospel他拿师 pours his energy like water that he brings blessings to his fellows and ennoblement to himself. This principle alone answers to the world's need with provision for that need. Livingstone at the time he went out to Africa proposed not alone to uncover its sores, but also to redress the wrongs. He had in his heart a vision for that benighted continent. He saw commerce developed and white winged merchantly plying the rivers and the sound of civilization breaking the deathly silence, save for the barking of a wild dog, and the hissing of a million poisoned fish. Home was him as dear life was swallowed up in the economy and longings of his soul he neither to the right nor to the left, but faced the storm with ax in hand and God to lead; he dared have a mission, made it known, knew he was right, went forth to do or die and our blessed Christ made perfect the plans of salvation only through his death and resurrection. Today we stand at the 38th mile-stone. The fathers long since gathered to their reward built wiser than their knew. Some linger here today with us and in their honored presence, now entreat you to consider whether or not your premises are tenable. Revolutions do not go backward, the always move forward. Judaism was transformed into universalism.
If I am not mistaken at Chicago, in 1915, and the Minutes of the incorporated conventions will so show, a majority of the messengers refused to sustain a ruling made by the presiding officer. A majority time and time again declared that they would not submit to any form of charter making a national church, that the New Testament and its teachings were of sufficient force and effect, that through it and by it and with it for centuries we had striven to reach the promise we were now too far up the road to look back. It be remonumphed here that worse and more heretic were the purposes underlying this. They went into the Courts of Cook County and asked that we be enjoined from holding a Convention or using the name
NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1918.
O! Say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs busting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there;
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
On the shore, dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foes' haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?

National Baptist Convention. When this was demurred out of court, they took an appeal which lays dormant and unprosecuted.
Without sanction but seeking to control the only asset of the denomination, and thus take from our Publishing Board that which you entrusted to them and for which they have shown unsurpassed ability to manage, the majority of the Baptists in America, then and now denounce the usurpation, and the report to be submitted by our esteemed chairman, Dr. C. H. Clark, and our beloved venerable Secretary, Dr. R. H. Boyd, will add emphasis to my statement, by showing an increase in business each year since they went off.
The ideals of this Board are in perfect unison with this Convention, and it is doing religious, benevolent and constructive work commendable and enduring, and my opinion has been strengthened as more and more I study its work. A National Convention great and expansive in its information and inspiration is grievous because handicapped to the people it cannot train to reach development, training and refinement. To these elements this convention and our Board thank God take courage and go on. The hand that seeks to destroy this mammoth plant and idly send abroad its employees, when yesterday from every hill top and valley it was raised unto God in declaring all is well, cannot again become a power in the province of righteousness without making amends.

It stands wonder awaiting only your willingness to clear the way, that souls may be fixed, hearted and tongues simplified. The gospel must be preached, a trained ministry should be your contribution to the world's present and future evangelism. Will you heed the cause or follow the path of ease? With confidence in you and hope that you are ready to cross the Rubicon, a recommendation follows, which I hope you will approve.
In keeping with your expressed command your special committee went to Washington and took up with the Executive Secretary of the Council of Federated Churches of America, the appointment of Chaplains for the Army. I am under many obligations to Dr. Henry Allen Boyd of Nashville, Dr J. C. Austin of Pittsburgh, Dr H. T. S. Messer of Pittsburgh, Dr R. H. Bolling of Norfolk, Va.; and Dr. E. W.

the streets from Fisk University to the park singing patriotic songs and aroused the crowds with whom they came in contact. They drilled, marched and played games as worked out in their daily training.
The president of the Board of Trade turned the program over to the welfare committee of the Negro Council of defense. Mrs. Lyon Childress, chairman of the welfare committee of the white Council of Defense was present and faltered at length. She pledged herself to assist in any way possible the efforts of the Negro workers. Elizabeth Kelly, who is the Negro welfare chairman, presided and read the message of the President of the United States in favor of the great child welfare celebration to be held all over the country.
Dr. M. E. Coleman made a stirring talk and asserted that the Negro women would not be satisfied until a home had been secured for delinquent girls of the race. Dr. Coleman is the chairman of the Negro Council of Defense. Mrs. J. F. Pierce, one of the most earnest war workers among the Negro people, gave a history of the work in hand and paid tribute to the women who are making
such a good showing among the Negro workers.
Davis School band, both male and female, furnished music. A costumed march of children, representing soldiers, Red Cross nurses, states and farmettes, was a special feature of the program. The Goddess of Liberty and patriotic drills, together with the singing of patriotic songs, were notable features. Prizes were awarded the best developed baby, the second best and the most popular baby on the grounds. A prize was also given J. P. Porter and wife for having the largest number of children under 16. There are seven children under 16 in this family. The first-prize baby weighed 44 pounds at eight months, while the second-prize baby weighed 21 pounds at five'.
Louise Bostic recited Dunbar's "Colored Soldier," and "What Will you do, Uncle Sammie?" Judge J. Madison Weld delivered the principal address and sald in par. "I think the progress you have made is wonderful. I do not believe there is any other race that has made the same progress under like circumstances. You have a long way to come, however. Adhere to the marriage vows; do not be so quick to be divorced; make every wayward girl or boy your boy or your girl. If you think it is a crime, an outrage, to punish your for life, the parent of a small child and turn that child out upon the streets in poverty. There will be no real child welfare

In conclusion Judge Wells stated that he was in favor of the juvenile court, and that he loved the black boy as well as the white boy, and was a judge of them both.
Many of the employees of the Government powder plant arrived in the city early in the day. The streets were crowded, as were the movies during the day. Greenwood park was largely attended. Special music and all attractions running gave entertainment to the throngs that went out during the day.
During the past weeks, Mrs. M. F. Flowers of Chattanooga, Tenn., and Mrs. Jackson of Little Rock, Ark., have been the guests of Mrs. M. H. Flowers at the Fireside School. Mrs. Jacvkson is matron in Little Rock and is doing a splendid work there. She stayed a few days and Mrs. Flowers made a longer visit.
By Secretary Boyd of the National Baptist Publishing Board--Fiscal Near Just Ended Shows $10,000 Increase.
SACRIFICE OF LABORERS TO FIGHT HUNS HAS BEEN GREAT HOLDBACK
Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 13th—Nearly two hundred thousand dollars worth of business was reported by Rev. R. B. Boyd, D. D., the secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board is his annual report read before the National Baptist Convention in session in this city today. It was an increase of more than ten thousand dollars over the volume of business done for the fiscal year ending August 31, 1917. It has been considered by all leaders in the ranks of National Baptist Publishing Board's plant at Nashville has attracted more attention than any other enterprise conducted by the religious side of the convention. It is a plant employing a large number of young men and women who do skilled labor. Dr. Boyd in making his report no only told of the work done for the past year, giving the millions of copies of periodicals distributed and the hundreds of thousands of letters received and answered but he went to the office and the executive side of the convention. The report was in pamphlet form and it showed that within twenty-one years enough Sunday School literature and religious tracts with denominational books had been distributed to make Baptists, if literature would make them, out of every member of the race. In the report this giant oak in the Baptist forest, as he is proclaimed
Miss Luella Hoyle, the stenographer for the Foireis School, is having her vacation. During this time occurred a great event, when Miss Hoyle ceased to be in becoming the bride of Mr. Oscar A. Childress. The wedding took place at the bride's home on the evening of August 28th, when a large company of friends gathered to witness the occasion. Mr. Childress is a senior at Meharry Medical College. All who know the young woman extend to them their heartiest good wishes. For the present Mrs. Childress will continue with the Fireside School.
Miss Ada F. Morgan is making a short trip in the interest of the Fireside School. She will stop in St. Louis, attend the Convention and present the work there. From that point she will go to her home in Indiana for a part of her vacation.
Mrs. M. H. Flowers is in St. Louis, attending the Convention.

He touched upon the war conditions and showed that the institution he had the honor to preside over was not only serving the denomination and the race, but had contributed their bit towards sending men into the army to but the for world's denomination. He swept the Commission off its feet when he told them of the sacrifice the institution had made to help win the war. "Our service flag hangs in the main office-and by this time, perhaps, has twenty-two stars. We are not only fighting shn and Satan, but we are fighting the Huns and Persianism.

Smith of St. Louis. The wedding ceremony was performed at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. C. H. Phillips, Jr., and was witnessed by many personal friends of the Phillips Family.
Miss Lady Emma Louise Phillips sweetly sang, "Beloved it is Morn" after which Bishop Phillips accompanied by his son, Dr. C. H. Phillips and Miss Ella Cheeks with her brother Mr. Elmer Cheeks of Detroit, Mich, wended their way to the nautilal mure where the happy union was effected. Mrs. Clifford Evans played Mendelsohn's Wedding March. Bishop and rMs. Phillips received numerous letters and telegrams of congratulations and valuable tokens from friends all over the country.
Immediately after the marriage, Bishop C. H. Phillips and daughter Emma Louise, left for California and other points west. The house was beautifully decorated with palms and the season's choice cutflowers. The wedding ceremony was simple and was pronounced one of the most impressive and beautiful over witnessed in St. Louis.

Mr. Abe Thompson, father of Madam Rhoda had a joyful time at the United Primitive Baptist Association in Mt. Pleasant, Tenn. He returned last Monday night.
Can any one imagine that after the war he finds himself in possession of too many war bonds or war savings stamps?
U.S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION
IS WHEAT INDISPENSABLE IN OUD DIET?
The question naturally arises, however: To what extent can the wheat to which we are now accustomed in our diet be reduced without injury to the health of the individual of the Nation? This question was put by the Food Administration to a committee of experts recently assembled in Washington to consider the special physiological problems involved in the general problem of wheat conservation.
Dr. R. H. Chittenden, Professor of Physiological Chemistry and Dean of Sheffield Scientific School, Yale.
Dr. Graham Lusk, Professor of Physiology, Cornell University.
Dr. E. V. McCullum, Professor of BioChemistry, John Hopkins University.
Dr. L. B. Mendel, Professor of Physiological Chemistry, Yale University.
C. L. Alsberg, Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Dr. F. C. Longworthy, Chief, Hope Economics Division, State Extension Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor, Professor of Physiological Chemistry, /University of Pennsylvania.
Prof. Vernon Kellogg, Stanford University.
Dr. Raymond Pearl, School of Hygiene, John Hopkins University.
Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, formerly Dean of the Stanford University Medical School; now President of Stanford University.
The committee, as may be seen, was composed of the highest physiological authorities in the country. Their answer to the question was direct and unequivocal. It is the scientific opinion of the committee that in a mixed diet wheat may be entirely replaced, without harm, by other available cereals, namely, rice, barley, oats, and corn. However, we should not recommend this except as an emergency measure. The committee's particular reason for not recommending this, apart from the fact that wheat is perhaps the most convenient cereal for use because of its special qualities connected with the making of bread in loaves that will stand up and remain sweet and palatable for several days, is that going with wheat would be a psychological thought not a physiological deprivation. We are accustomed as a Nation, just as most of the nations of Europe are, to the use of wheat bread, and a sudden break in our custom would have for some people a psychological significance more or less disturbing.
However, if these people could well understand the emergency leading to the change, and then could recognize that they are aiding their country in the great emergency by making the change, this psychological disturbance would be much reduced.
Exactly this condition of a great national emergency, to meet which the loyal and patriotic efforts of all the people are needed, is the condition to-day. It is only because of this great national emergency that the oFod Administration makes use of this deliberate judgment of the physiological experts called in for advice.
Even under these circumstances, it is recognized that because of economic and commercial reasons, not all of the people of America can go without bread based on wheat, but it is certain that a great many people in this country can easily do so. It is the belief of the Food Administration that, for the sake of maintaining the wheat-bread supply for the armies and civilians of our fighting associates in the war, as well as our own soldiers in France, every patriotic American who can possibly do so will be glad to dispense entirely with wheat from now until the next harvest.
U. S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION
The sugar shortage in our country is so grave that the household allowance was reduced on August 1 to two pounds per person per month. Our soldier and sailors must have all the sugar they need and they can have this amount of sugar if we at home follow the regulations of the Food Administration.
It is your patriotic duty to see that your readers understand the situation and to do their part to meet it. We suggest that you make editorial comments on the necessity for the saving of sugar. We know that you can be depended upon to present the case as it is.
Urge our people to eat less sugar an dto use instead sorghum, molasses syrup, honey, fruits (fresh and dried). Your readers gave the nation special service by saving wheat, ask them to do equally as well in saving sugar.
TO ALL FOOD ADMINISTRATION WORKERS:
"We can not administer the 'food problem on the basis one year's war. We must prepare for its long continuance if we are to insure absolute victory," declared the Food Controllers of the United States, France, Italy and Great Britain in a joint resolution adopted at a conference in London. The resolution, which was cabled today to the United States Food Administration, emphasizes the necessity of building up reserves in North America as an insurance against possible crop failures here and elsewhere and the diminution of agricultural labor. The cable follows:
"Resolved, that while the increased production of the United States
COAL CONSUMERS MUST

Consumers must buy their

render it possible to relax some of the restrictions which have borne with peculiar hardship upon all our peoples; yet it is absolutely necessary that rapid economy and elimination of waste in the consumption and handling of all foodstuffs, as well as increased production, should be maintained throughout the European Allied countries and in North America. It is only by such economy and elimination of waste that the transportation of the necessary men and supplies from North America to the European front can be accomplished and the stocks of foodstuffs can be built up in North America as an insurer against the ever-present danger of hardship and the possible necessity for large and emergency drafts to Europe to cannot administer the food problem on basis of one year's war. We must prepare for its long continuance if we are to insure absolute victory."
Before the war, only about 10 per cent of the food deficit in the Allied countries was provided by America. Approximately/ 50 per cent of the Allied deficit was filled last year by the United States and Canada. And from the 1918 crops we will very probably be called upon to supply a much larger proportion of this ever-increasing European deficit. About 500,000 tons of shipping could be delivered we made it possible to withdraw ships to Europe food from Australia, India and South America. Were this done, it would be possible to transport and maintain in France a much larger
of American soldiers. Many of the difficulties of convoy could be overcome if the bulk of shipping plied the single lane between Europe and North America. Interpreted in terms of men on the fighting front, every ship diverted from Australia could perform an equivalent service from American ports and in the time it had taken for one round trip from Europe to Australia could make two additional trips from Europe to the United States. In other words, it could furnish Europe with the same amount of food and in the same length of time could make one trip as ship and another to transport addition. With men leaving our farms in ever increasing number to engage in direct war work, we probably see this year the height of our agricultural production. To protect ourselves and the Allies against the inevitable shortage of the future we must take advantage of this year's production to lay by reserves.
Although .public eating places such households which voluntarily went to a no-wheat basis earlier in the year have been released from their promise to forego entirely the use of what they must still practice economy. Release from their pledge only places them on the same basis as the rest of the American people. Probably long as the war lasts they must use Victory bread. They must face a rigid economy in other directions. Especially is this true at present in the case of sugar. The American people as a whole are expected to adopt on August 1, an honor ration of two pounds of sugar per person per month.
SUGAR SUPPLY.
1. Where does America get her sugar?
Cuba—more than one-half.
Sugar beet production in the United States—one-seventh.
Hawaii—one-eighth.
Louisiana—one-twentieth.
Porto Rico, the Philippines, Miscellaneous sources—the remainder.
2. Where did the Allies formerly get sugar?
France, Italy, and the Low Countries raised their own. England received more than one-half from the Teutonic Empires, imported largely from Java, and got a little from the British West Indies.
3. Where do the Allies now get their sugar?
The Central Powers as a source are cut off. Production in Italy and France is only about one-third what it was before the war. They must be spend very largely now upon America sources of supply.
4. Are there no supplies of sugar in the East Indies?
There are quantities of sugar in Java and some in other islands; but ship can not be spared for trips to Java while sugar can be obtained elsewhere by one-third the haul.
5. Why is there need to conserve sugar now in this country?
To meet the Allied shortage.
To release ships formerly used in the sugar trade to carry soldiers and supplies to Europe.
To make up the loss of beetle sugar lands and factories captured or destroyed by the Germans in northern France and Italy.
Ships which would have kept up the flow of sugar have been sunk. Twenty-six thousand tons of sugar were lost recently in submarine raids upon our Atlantic coast. Fifty thousand tons of sugar-carrying shipping were transferred to meet the requirements of Belgian relief.
6. Is there danger of a sugar famines?
No; but there is a shortage as compared with the prewar days when Americans used more than 80 pounds per capita per year. If our people will follow the directions of the Food Administration—liberal compared with the rules of England, France and Italy—these will be sufficient sugar for our needs.
7. How much sugar can each person have?

SHILLING.
A MARKET SCENE
IN ENGLAND
Not more than 2 pounds per month per person (or household use and a limited supply for the necessary preservation of fruit and other foods. The Army and Navy must receive their ration.
8. How is the Food Administration handling distribution of sugar?
Use of sugar in manufacturing anything but foodstuffs an explosives has been prohibited; manufacturers of drinks, candy, and other less essentials have been rigidly restricted; the supply of sugar to ice cream makers and bakers has been curtailed. For ordinary household use not more than 2 pounds can be bought at one time for town and city residents, and not more than 5 pounds at one time for country people except at the discretion of the Federal Food Administrator for the State or his deputies.
9. What restrictions have been placed on public eating houses in regard to sugar?
For every 90 meals served not more than 2 pounds of sugar may be purchased.
10. Are there other rules?
Federal Food Administrators in the various States may make rulings to suit local conditions in regard to sugar for home canning.
11. Are civilians to consider themselves on a denine sugar ration?
Yes. They are in honor bound to use not more than 2 pounds per person per month. They are directed to use sugar substitutes as much as they can. Substitutes include corn syrup, honey, maple sugar, maple syrup, sorghum, fruit, juices, etc.
12. What is the sugar ration at present in England, France and Italy?
England—2 pounds per person per month.
France—1 1-2 pounds per person per month, including all foods and drinks containing sugar.
Italy—1 pound per person per month.
These rations are not guaranteed.
They represent the maximum under present rationing systems, if the sugar can be obtained.
13. Does the 2 pound ration for house holders include sugar for cooking?
No; not as a general policy. A limited amount of sugar is allowed for preserving fruits at home. However it is urged that everyone eat less than 2 pounds if possible, so that throughout the country more may be available for canning.
14. How can sugar for home canning be secured?
By applying to the Federal Food Administrator of your State, or his deputy in your vicinity. Usually certificates must be signed by persons who wish to secure sugar for canning. These certificates are to be returned to the Federal Food Administrator of the States by the dealers who sell the sugar. Thus a check is kept on canning requisitions.
CANNING.
15. Why does the Food Administration at present encourage canning without sugar?
Because perishable fruits would be lost if not canned. If fruit is sterilized and air excluded, sugar will not be needed as a preservative and enough sugar can be added when the fruit is eaten to make it palatable. 16. Can jams and jellies be made later when sugar is more plentiful?
Yes; from the fruit pulp and juices that have been sterilized and canned or bottled without sugar.
17. How small an amount of sugar can be used in making jams, jellies, and preserves which depend upon sugar as well as sterilization for their cooling qualities?
Allow no more than three-fourths a pound of sweetening to each
pound of fruit. One-half pound for sweet fruits is enough.
18. Can sugar substitutes be used in canning?
Yes. Corn sirups and other table sirups not made from granulated sugar can be used with sugar in some parts of the country suitable varieties of canned sirups and sorghums are available for preserving without adding any sugar.
19. How else may fruits be saved without the use of sugar?
Some fruits may be dried; others may be stored in a cool cellar. Fruit pulp may be evaporated to a paste thus concentrating the natural fruit sugar.
SUGAR PRICES
20. How do sugar prices here compare with those in other countries?
Net wholesale prices of refined sugar per pound in chief cities of Allied countries since sugar control was established in the United States by the Food Administration;
Oct. 1, 1917. New York, $0.0818, Montreal, $0.0867, London, $0.0998, Paris, $1.1228, Rome, $0.263.
May 1, 1918. New York, .073, Montreal, .0807, London, .1259, Paris, .1228, Rome, .263.
21. What is the average retail price of sugar in the United States.
From 8-12 to 10 cents a pound, varying slightly in different localities.
During the Civil War sugar sold at retail for 35 cents a pound, when there was no real shortage, Speculation then was rampant; now it has been checked by Food Administration regulation.
22. How have prices been regulated? By voluntary agreement with producers and retailers with regard to the price of the raw sugar and refiners' margins, and by establishing maximum margins for wholesalers and retailers.
23. Would our prices be higher if there were no control of sugar? The price would, in the face of the world shortage have mounted rapidly, as it has in countries where no control exists. As the American people consume upward of $3,000,000,000 pounds annually, can per pound increase would cost the people more than $80,000,000 a year.
24. How can I know whether my grocery is charging excessive prices for sugar?
Consult the list of "fair prices" published in the newspapers or write directly to the State Food Administrator or his representative in your vicinity.
25. What penalty is there for the small retail grocery who is found guilty of charging excessive prices?
Wholesalers, all of whom operate under Federal licenses issued by the Food Administration, may cut off his supplies.
HOARDING
26. What is sugar hoarding?
Having on hand more than is needed for a reasonable length of time. You should not fail to return any unused balance of sugar purchased for canning purposes.
27. May a household have a month's supply of sugar on hand?
This is not justifiable except in extreme cases where there are no stores available for purchase, and it should be done only upon advice of the Federal - Food Administrator or his deputy.
28. What are some of the evil effects of hoarding?
It throws the distribution system out of joint; it raises prices; it imposes a heavier burden upon those already doing their utmost; it results in waste where there are no proper facilities for storage; it discourages the honest. /
29. What is the moral wrong of hoarding?
It is selfish, cowardly, unpatriotic. It is, in effects, taking unto one's self special privileges at a time when all Americans should be on the same footing, share and share alike.
30. Is there any punishment for hoarders?
Yes. The Food Control Act provides fines of not more than $5,000 and imprisonment for hoarding by dealers, manufacturers or householders.
GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION
31. Is sugar necessary in the diet?
Neither one, nor best sugar is necessary. In the average American diet all the bodily needs may ordinarily be supplied by using honey, sugar, fresh preserved and dried fruits.
32. What are the general sugar saving rules?
Use al sugar sparingly and whare.
ever possible use substitutes. Be sparing of confections and sweet cakes. The American people last year spent enough money for candy to feed all Belgium for two years. Supplement sugar with honey, maple sirup, and corn sirup. Cultivate a taste for fruit in its natural sweetness. Sugar is a fuel-food. Get fuel from potatoes and other starchy foods rather than sugar. Sugar excels them as an energy-food only because it produces energy more quickly. They excel sugar, since they supply more than merely the fuel need.
33. If a recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, what amount of substitute may be used?
If a recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, use in its place 1 cup of strained honey or 1 2-3 to 2 cups of corn sirup. If honey or sirup is used, the amount of liquid called for in the recipe must be reduced one-fourth cup for every cup of honey or sirup.
34. How may the sugar ration be expressed in quantities known to everyone?
Two pounds per month means about 8 ounces per week, or a little more than 1 ounce a day. This daily ration is a trifle more than 2 tablespoons level full. It should be remembered that this is to include all sugar used for any purpose whatsoever—for table use, cooking, in ice cream and desserts, on cereals or fruit, in sugar sirups used on glove cakes, etc.
DISCUSSES DOCTRINE OF LABOR.
Frank P. Walsh, of War Labor Board, Says Its Principles Are Proving Successful.
"The Presidential Doctrine of Labor" is the subject of an article contributed by Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the National War Labor Board, to the August number of the Forum.
"A great deal that is said concerning the mysterious influence of the National War Board of Labor is misleading, although true as to the chief impression that the Board is making a success of its principles," says Mr. Walsh. "There is nothing mysterious about its operations excepting what it has shown in its recommendations, which in themselves reveal the mysterious change of heart that has come over the relations of capital and labor as a result of the awakening impulse of the war.
"The presidential doctrine which embodied the individual duty of all men during the war, is well understood. If I say that it is my opinion that labor understood it first, before capital looked into it with full perception of its supreme forces, I mean that labor is no longer in ignorance of war obligations. The War Labor Board has had exceptional advantages of observation. The principles upon which it was directed under the President's preclamation, to govern relations between workers and employers have developed to be sound an adaptable to the many changing conditions of disturbance between them."
HOUSING PLANS IN PROGRESS at Bridgeport, Chicago, and Pittsburg to Aid Workers.
Three important housing projects now under way as a means of promoting efficiency in war industries by relieving workers of worry and financial stress, are being handled at Chicago, near Pittsburgh, and at Bridgeport, Conn. The Department of Labor has, as a war emergency measure, established a Housing Bureau with headquarters in Washington.
The portion of Chicago south of Thirty-first Street, from Halsted Street to the Lake, has been carefully canvassed in order to list every available place for workmen to live. This section has become an important war industrial center. The Government here will endeavor to aid transportation facilities by advancing money to traction companies, rather than build new houses for the munitions workers
Near Pittsburgh, however, a site has been chosen for employees of the Naville Island ordinance plant. A large forces of surveyors is at work on the ground in Kennedy Township, bounded on two sides by the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad and its Moon Run line. It is expected that several thousand houses for workmen will be put up here.
Streets are being laid out and locations for public buildings made.
Recently contracts were awarded to house 600 families in Bridgeport; and, in addition to these homes, dormitories for 1,000 workmen will be erected.
"SPEED UP" RULES IN SHIPYARD.
Publications of Great Industrial Plants Illustrate the Spirit Prevailing Among Workmen.
Just a hint of the unprecedented activity of the American shipyards these days is afforded by the names of the papers that are being published in the various plants. These include "Speed Up." New ark Bay, N. J.; "Heave Together." of Portland, Oreg.; "Bare Together." of the same city; "Pore an Air." of New York; "Dry Dock Dial." of Brooklyn; and the "Compass." Chester, Pa. Many such publications come regularly to the Department of Labor.

HUNGER For three years America has fought starvation in Belgium Will you Eat less-wheat meat-fats and sugar that we may still send food in ship loads?
A record for hospital building that is likely to last for a long time, was made recently on work for the War Department at Staten Island, N. Y. The building, a one-story frame structure with every modern convenience, was put up in just 10 hours and 23 minutes from the time work started, at 7 o'clock in the morning. The hospital is 150 feet long and 24 feet wide, with a 10-12 foot porch the entire length of the building on one side. When the work began not a post-hole had been dug and not a piece of timber was cut to size. At 7 o'clock 130 laborers began to dig the postholes. Circus day never witnessed such elaborate organization or quicker progress, although circus organization and speed in tent raising is proviral.
Before 8 o'clock 434 carpenters plumbers, and electricians were at work, and by noon the roof was on At 3:30 the electricians, plumbers, sheet-metal workers and pipe coverers had finished. An hour later only 85 carpenters were left on the job—finishing up—and at 5:28 the whole task was completed. The building was completely wired, with lights ready to be switched on and water was run running in the pipes. Radiators were in stalled and connected, and fire extinguishers were hanging on the walls.
WILL WORK ON LABOR DAY.
Alabama Mine Workets. Because of Coal Shortage, will Celebrate Holiday on the Job.
Mine workers of Alabama will celebrate Labor Day by working harder than ever in the coal mines in order to prevent, so far as they are able, any shortage of fuel supply this winter.
This decision was made by the union men of Birmingham and its suburbs, who will give the money they earn that day to the Red Cross. It was made known through a letter of President William Harrison of the Alabama Federation of Labor, to the American Alliance for Labor and Democracy, and in this way reached the Department of Labor.
"The Central Labor Union of Birmingham and other outlying organizations have resolved to work on Labor Day," he wrote, "the proceeds of their labor to be devoted to the Red Cross. 'My own organization, the United Mine Workers of America, in Alabama is advising the miners to work on Labor Day because of the seriousness of the coal situation now confronting the country."
MUNITIONS MEN RAN STREET CARS.
Solution of Transportation Problem for War Workers Was Simple When Attacked in Right Way.
Street-car trouble—congestion and inadequate service—have arisen in many places where war industries have transformed overnight a small city to a busy factory center, perhaps of quadruped population. The Department of Labor and the War Department have been faced with many problems. In one such place the street car company was unable to provide service for the war workers, most of whom were forced to live at long distances from the principal factory, and as a result the men gradually dropped away from the workplace, who became desperate, and with only a small force left on the job decided to attempt a dangerous remedy—lengthening the working day to get more done by the men who were left.
This plan led to a crisis, and the Government was obliged to take a hand. The ordinance department sent an official from Washington to investigate and he discovered that the trouble was not lack of cars but lack of men to run them. The remedy he proposed was simple—he advised choosing experienced street-car men from among the factory workers to make trips on the cars morning and night to take the others to and from work. The solution proved thoroughly satisfactory and what might have proved a serious alteration was averted.
BIGGEST AIRCRAFT FACTORY HERE.
Dayton Establishment Turns Out More Planes Than Greatest Factories of England and France.
When the Dayton Wright Aeroplane Co., of Dayton, Ohio, turned out its thousandth aeroplane it developed that the 6,000 men at that plant are turning out more fighting planes than any two factories in England or France. This daily and monthly output puts the nation in the position of two countries, according to unofficial statistics sent to the Department of Labor.
Building of I Great Shipyard Ranks Among Chief Feats of American Labor.
When the war has ended, and it is possible to judge things more fairly than at present, the tremendous undertaking of the building of the Hog Island shipyard will, perhaps, rank among the greatest fats of labor ever accomplished in this country.
A distinguished Englishman has thus commented on the Hog Island establishment:
This is the most marvelous engineering feat that I have ever seen, and the organization which is conducting the work is unique. It not be duplicated anywhere in it!

the workmen are all entitled to credit for the construction of this "magic" city, with 50 ways for the launching of ships. In spite of difficulties at the start in making satisfactory housing arrangements at a spot so remote from the facilities required for the comfort of workmen, the force remained on the job until the difficulties were surmounted and the yards made ready for the manufacture, not more than a few months later. Department of Labor is informed that the number of accidents is being cut to uncommonly low figures.
SHIPIWORKERS WITNESS
LAUNCHINGS
Sight of Vessels They have Created Sliding Down the Ways Proves Inspiration to New Efforts.
No more practical means of inspiring labor to the great task of winning the war has been developed, according to information reaching the Department of Labor, than through the wartime practice of inviting the workmen in a body to witness ship launches. At the big Pore River yards and elsewhere the army are the men who have built the ships an opportunity to see them slip into the water, for the men in witnessing the spectacle not only come to a realization of the great work America is doing, but they take a personal pride in their own labor that they would not fel otherwise.
In the past launchings have been generally ceremonies for a comparatively small and select company, for in peace times nothing in particular depended upon the addition of one vessel more or less to the Navy or to the merchant marine. Now, all that has changed; every ship launched today is a body blow at the enemy. The feeling prevails at most shipyards that the workmen partners with the management in the building of every ship—should be honored guests at the launch.
LEAVE OFFICES FOR MUNITIONS WORKS:
Business Men, After Doing a Day's Work, Put in Four Hours for Uncle Sam.
Several hundred Toledo Business men have volunteered to work four-hours shifts in munition plants here, after business hours. Several similar instances have come to the notice of the Department of Labor.
They have formed a volunteer munitions workers' association to speed up production during the war and are going to devote their spare time to making shells instead of playing golf. The Toledo plants require 1,500 men to fill their capacity, and until the men are obtained the four-hour job will feature almost every able-bodied Toledo business man's day.

in time, We merely po.nt out there
is no evidence yet that the Govern
ment is performing no miracles that
might not have been expected of the
roads themselves, if they had simply
had enough money to go ahead in
| their ordinary way.”
| Mr, Price says that this is a fairly
complete summary of the criticism
| that is being directed at Governmental
| administration of the railways, and
after quoting the statistics upon which
it purports to be based he adds that
while they show that the number of
tons of freight carried one mile dar-
in the first five months of the year
was 0.6 per cont less than during
the same months last year, they also
show that the loaded car freight
mileage traveled in the carriage of
this freight was 552,968,512 miles, ot
8.6 per cent less than the distance
| traveled under private management in
| the carriage of nearly the same ton
mileage of revenue freight during the
same period in 1917,
Dealing with the reducation in the
average daily mileage of locomo-
| tives and freight ears, he points out
| that this is due to the heavier train
load and car load, and explains that
‘It 1s not economically practicable to
haul heavy trains as fast as Hight ones,
and that the Railroad Administration
has adopted the polley of loading
|trains to capacity and moving them
‘on scheduels that are not too fast to
be maintained.
‘This showing he claims, indicates
not inefficiency, but a striking in-
crease in the efficiency with wh'ch the
railroads are being operated, and
asserts that it is directly due to the
heavier loading of the freight cars
and the grenter train load now pulled
by each engine, \
He continues as follows:
‘The average carload has been in:
creased from 26.2 to 28.6 tons, or S8
per cent. If this ratio is. maintain.
od, it will be the equivalent of an
addition of 8.8 per cent, or 211,200
freight cars to the present equip-ment
of about 2400.00 ears, and if the ratte
of inerease in the train load, equal
to 27 per cent {8 maintained, it wil
be the equivalent of adding about 1,750
to the present equipment of some 65,
(000 locomotives of all sorts,
Surely this Is betted than buying
new cars and locomotives at a time
when they ean only be had at extrava-
gant prices and the manufacturing
cnergies of the country are overtaxed
to provide the things required for the
winning of the war,
Instead of proving the InefMelency
of Government management, these
figures furnished the strongest poss
ble proof of its efficiency and wisdom
in demonstrating. that the old. cars
and engines are being made to do
more work than thes performed un:
der private management. ‘The samo
progress toward the intensive use of
the present equipments is to be found
In the report of loaded cars arriving
at Philadelphia and Pittsburg during

‘Ths was the equivalent of 1,754,644

As to the alleged movement of
freight by motor truck it can only be
sald that the Government is moving
regular freight and passenger trains
promptly, notwithstanding the extra
tax imposed on its facilities by
troop movement now averaging
1,100,00 men per month, that. there

Of the other items in the indict
ment of government operation of the

marks:
1. That the advance in the cost
of transportation 1s less than the ad:
vance in wages and the price of al
most every other commodity that so
clety requires.
2, That through bills of Iading for
‘export cannot be issued because the
Government has preempted the ocean
‘room and that i no assurance that
the goods can be forwarded upon ar
Frival at the seaboard.
8. ‘That as competition between the
railroads no longer exists there is no
oceasion “for competive solicitors and
ticket offices and that thelr abandon:
‘ment will save the railroads - about
$23,000,000 annually.
4. That the Gevernment is not
authorized to extend credit to con
signees for the freight they owe
When the goods are delivered, and
that it cannot exceed its legal author!-
ty.
5. That a new and simplified class
fication and rate book has been pre
pared and will be effective and avail:
able as soon as the shippers them-
selves approve it
6. That a continuance of the pack-
age car service would have involved
& wasteful use of facilities that are
needed for the winning of the war,
and
7. That if shippers were allowed
to select the routes by which thelr
freight would ve carried, the efficien-
ey and economy that are shown to
have been secured by re-routing could
not have been obtained.

CITY WILL SAVE COAL
The United States Fuel Administration,
in pursuance to its program of
fuel conservation, has sent representatives to Nashville to study the fuel situation here, and to make reports and recommendations upon their findings.
On Thursday Messrs Crowley Wentworth, solicitor for the United States Fuel Administration; Howell Van Blarcom, general assistant of power and light division; J. E. Arthur of the electric power and light division;
W. E. Myer, State Fuel Administrator, Dr. C. S. Brown, administrative with the Board of City Commissioners with regard to the possibility of fuel saving by the city of Nashville. All the city commissioners were present.
It is the earnest desire of the United States Fuel Administration to avoid, if possible the necessity of closing plants this winter, as was done necessarily last winter. Its representatives are being sent to all parts of the country to make investigations and where it is possible to do so, whether the city lighting plants are operated by the city or by private contractors, they are curtailing and transferring and consolidating the operation of plants for the sole purpose of saving fuel. This is intended only for the period of the war.
The Fuel Administration representatives who have investigated conditions at Nashville discover that on account of the war, it has been impossible for the city to keep its plants equipped in an up-to-date manner; that the boilers of the plant are dangerous, and that the machinery is to a degree antiquated.
Mr. Van Blaircom makes it clear that no one is to blame for this condition, and that except for the war emergency the plant could have been kept in the best condition. These men have investigated the plant of the Nashville Railway and Light Company, and find it will be amply able to take care of the needs of the city lighting plant at a much smaller cost in production power and at a vast saving of coal. As is well known water power cuts a large figure with the Railway and L t Cohgjmaptmuutl the Railway and Light Company's plant and through the Fuel Administration that company has offered to furnish its current to the city at 10 per cent smaller cost than it is supplying any other customer.
Mr. Van Blaircom recommends the acceptance of this proposition by the Board of Commissioners and the board will meet again today to consider the matter, and will doubtles stake the step recommended. Should it fail to do so, it will only require an order from the nited States Fuel Administration to consolidate the plants for fuel conservation purposes, hence it would not be an enviabel position for the commissioners to oppose the proposition.
The Fuel Administration emphasizes the importance of steel at this stage of the war. Tons and tons of steel are needed for railroads, ships munitions and every branch of war work. Steel must be produced. Five thousand tons of coal mean one thousand tons of steel produced. These representatives of the Administration in Nashville estimate a saving of 5,000 to 7,000 tons of coal this winter by

SENTENCE OF NEGRO RIOTERS
COMMUTER.
Washington, Sept. 4.—Death sentences of ten negro soldiers who participated in the riot at Houston, Tex., to life imprisonment by President Will August 23 1917, have been commuted son.
In six other cases the President affirmed the death sentences because the condemned men had been found guilty of having deliberately and with great cruelty murdered civilians.
This action, announced today by the War Department, concludes the cases of twenty-nine Negroes given the death penalty for their part in the riot. Thirteen were executed, and the President was called upon to review the findings in sixteen cases.
The President found that the ten whose sentences he commuted had not been convicted of personally and directly causing deaths. The soldiers involved were not named in the War Department's statement.
"I commute the remaining sentences," the President said in a statement attached to the record, "because I believe the lesson of this lawless riot will have been adequately pointed by the action already taken and that now directed, and also because I sire the clemency here orderedig a recognition of the splendid lex of the race to which these so belong, and an inspiration to the ple o fthat race to further zeal in

With Her Children Who Had Severe Cases of Whooping Cough.
"This statement will certify that I have used Lung-Vita with my two children, who had whooping cough, and it has greatly helped them," says Mrs. C. G. Cates, who lives at 202 Grace Street, East Lake, Birmingham, Ala., in her statement given the latter part of June.
"Before I began giving them Lung-Vita I was up with them dozens of times each night, but since using Lung-Vita they rarely ever cough at all. I recommend Lung-Vita highly to all mothers."
For summer coughs and colds there is nothing so good as Lung-Vita. Usually the first dose or two of this wonder medicine scatters the congestion and others you to throw out the phlegm. Try it in a small bottle will last a long time and can be used by any member of the family.
Most Druggists and dealers sell Lung-Vita, but if yours won't supply you, write Nashville Medicine Co. Nashville, Tenn., for free booklet.—Adv.
REV. A. C. KENON, B. S., D. D., M.
D., I. IS CalLED TO THE PAS-
TORATE OF THE FIRST BAP-
TIST (M.T. ZION) CHURCH AT
ORANGE, TEXAS.
Orange, Texas, Aug. 30, 1918—
The many friends of Dr. A. C. Kenon,
pastor of First Battist Church at
Murfreesboro, Tenn will be glad to
know that he has been called to
the pastorate of the Mt. Zion (First)
Baptist Church at this place. This
is a large church of a membership of
about 500. The church has a large
parsonage built on the modern style.
The church pays a salary of $70.00
per month and it is thought that Dr.
Kenon will be paid well for his sev-
ron. The church considers Dr.
Kenon a preacher of Class A-one, and
thinks the can't do too much in
appreciation of Dr. Kenon has
been for more than five years a suc-
cessful pastor at Murfreesboro, Tenn.
His church there will give
him up. During the three years,
Kenon pastored at Murfreesboro, he
didn't even seem to have as much as
a single misunderstanding with the
deacon board of the church.
He will, we think accept his new call. We wish him much success in his new field of labor. Dr. Kenon is also furnishing an equipped office to practice medicine and surgery in Orange, Texas.

Mrs. Ellen Nichelson died at her home North High Street, August 27. While she was in very feeble health, her death was unexpected and a great shock to her family. She leaves two children, Mr. Robert Nickelson and Mrs. Florence Boyden and three brothers and four sisters. Her funeral was from St. Paul Church, of which she was a devoted and faithful member. The pastor, Rev. C. H. Boone officiated, assisted by Rev. Beecher Frierson and Rev. Cooper of the Presbyterian church. The floral offerings were many and the high esteem in which Mrs. Nichelson was held by her many white as well as colored friends. Mrs. Pauline Gentry of St. Louis is here visiting her mother, Mrs. Cella Birdsong. Mrs. Parlee Jackson of Nashville spent the weekend with her sister, Mrs. Lenie Sanders.

Long before the appointed hour for the demonstration in the afternoon the streets were thronged with a seething mass of humanity. Not since Ringing bros. Shows were here, have the streets of Columbia been graced with such a crowd. The speaker of the noun, Prot. Isaac Fisher of Fisk University was more than equal to the occasion and it was the cry on every hand, "He must come again." Too much praise cannot be given Messrs. Robert King and Si Dunnington for their patriotism in securing the hand iron Spring Hill. The entire finance for waken was furnished by our loyal white friends. The long parade to the station was one of the most impressive in the history of the town.

Mrs. Fannie Ridgeway, Mrs. Luellen Carful, Mrs. Mary Stovall, who are Dr. Shelton's best friend and provided for him while running a camp meeting at Powderly Road Crossing on South Bessener Carkine, where the greatest camp meeting was held by Dr. Shelton and assisted by Dr. A. W. Webb of Bessener. The success of the was simply a pleasure with us in this great meeting and solicited arms for this camp meeting. Proceeds were $107.43 The camp meeting was broadly attended by both sides. I take this method to thank those who extend a wide invitation to Dr. Shelton and Dr. Webb.
FAYETTEVILLE
Last Sunday night, the A. M. E. Church threw open her doors to our drafted boys and a special prayer-meeting was given for them under the auspices of the class leaders, Rev. L. M. Brown the pastor spoke very briefly to the boys, but his words were encouraging. Our boys left Monday afternoon for the camps. We learned that our mothers are called upon to give their sons from 18 to 45 and tell them to go to France and help wrench from the hands of Germany the Autocracy and make the world safe for democracy and those of who are left, behind will do every thing in our power so that these men will soon come marching back singing, we have won the war by buying War Saving Stamps, living economically, saving, praying and trusting in God. The colored Fair is the chief attraction of this week. Two big days, the Tenth Annual Meeting of the Lincoln County Colored Fair will convene at Fayetteville, Fair Ground on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 6 and 7, 1918. Mrs. Bessie R. Carty has returned from her summer vacation in Chicago, Ill., and is now ready for duty. Her peace has been filled by Prof. G. T. Hall, which placed him on double duty for near two weeks, but when the Prof. gets through with his work, nothing can be added to or taken from it, for it is just right in the school room. Mrs. Katie H. Bryson is still in Chicago, she reports a pleasant stay. Mr. N. M. Rhanie was very painfully injured when a train run against his train on side track. We will say more about

BRYANT GROVE
The members and friends of the Bryants Grove Baptist Church are rejoicing over the great success of the revival which resulted in seven happy converts, who went down and put on Christ by baptism in Stone River. The church is doing nicely under its newly elected pastor, Rev. J. E. Elder of Smyrna. We believe he is a God sent preacher and the right man in the right place. Father Strong and our preacher, Bro. Willie Bryant was also with Rev. in the revival. The Sunday school was largely attended Sunday, both old and young joined in the lesson, which was taught by Prof. T. I. Bryant, who is leaving no stone unturned that will lift the school to higher standard. The Sunday school was beautifully addressed by Mr. Wm. I Bryant of Cincinnati, O., on the subject, Prepare to do something in life," Mr. Bryant has been here for ten days visiting relatives and friends, also on business. He expressed himself as having an enjoyable visit, he leaves Monday night for Cincinnati.
SHELBYVILLE
We failed to mention the death of Mrs. Lizzie Little last week. She was the mother of Mrs. Caroline Miller and sister of Mrs. Tennie Seals. She was a good woman and reared a large family. Rev. Felix Allen was buried last week. The funeral was at the M. E. Church, conducted by Rev. A Ransom. He was buried with Prien honors. A very useful pen has gone away. On Monday afternoon farewell exercises were held at the First Baptist Church in honor of the thirteen young men who left for Camp Sherman. The house was full to overflowing. The address was delivered by Pres. B. F. Allen of Turner. It is safe to say that the address was by far the most scholarly that has been given on these occasions. It was replete with wisdom and advice to those going away and those remaining at home. A better selection could not have been made. Pres. Allen is the woman who very favor. He is unassuming and bespeaks the scholar and gentleman. In his every movement, Mr. L. Trail, Sr. announced his appointment of food commissioner and asked co-operation. Remarks were made by Rev. J. H. Hillzuan. Pres. Allen was fittingly introduced by Rev. F. W. Gardner. Dr. J. E. Bias presided. Mrs. Oscar Burkeen of Chattanooga is visiting Mrs. Ada Jennings. Mrs. Lillie Davis has been on the sick list but is able to be out. Miss Joanna McAdams is at home for a few days before leaving for Richmond, Va., where she will be instructed in pedagogy in Virginia Union University. This is one of the leading colleges in the state of Virginia. Mrs. Madeline Cowan and son have moved to Sewanee. Little Miss Cladys Whiteside, who has been sick with typhoid is rapidly recuperating. Mr. Willie Bell is on his way to France. Mrs. Melissa Rainey has returned from Nashville. Mr. Lee Trail, Sr., went to St. Louis. this week. Mrs. Tina Cunningham and Mrs. Harriet Frazier made a short trip to Tullahoma. Will Burkeen attended the colorful fair at Gallatin. He reports the colored fair at Charlien Clairmont out again after a severe illness. Mrs. L. A. McAdams has returned to Normal after a month's visit. Miss Annie Wiley is visiting Columbia. Miss Beatrice Brown is teaching for Mrs. Fillon Whiteside during the illness of Miss Gladys. Turner has received $400 from the estate of the late Bishop H. M. Turner. Mrs. Emma Thompson presented the public school with several valuable books. We are reliably informed that a prominent colored lady has willed her library to the public school. This is a significant fact. We are also reliably informed that a prominent white citizen who died recently directed that his library be given to the public school. Prof. McAdams has prepared a new lecture, "Life, liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." It will be delivered at Turner and is booked for four other nearby towns. A second lecture is being prepared "Keep the Fire Burning." Mr. Thomas Clairborne owns one of the most handsome span of horses to be seen anywhere. Thomas is a hustler. Mr. and Mrs. M. L.

Mr. Ewing Hill has returned to his home in South Bend, Ind., after spending a week with relatives Mr. Thomas Hill and sisters Miss Ruth L. and Cornelia E. Hill. Many social courtesies were shown him while here. Mrs. Jennie Hudson of Cincinnati, Ohio is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Leathie Dorris. Miss Ruth L. Hill, Mrs. Katie Rutherford attended the District Conference at Laguardo. They report a pleasant time. Mr. James Watkins was the pleasant guest of Miss Cornelia E. Hill, Sunday. Pilot Knob School of which Miss Ruth L. Hill is teacher has gone over the top with War Saving Stamps, $225.00. Miss Hill is the right teacher in the right place. We hope to keep her always.
PULASKI
Mrs. Ed Mason entertained delightfully last Friday evening at her home on Flower street, with a party in celebration of the birthday anniversary of her nephew, Mr. Rhiley H. Carter. The hostess was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Ruby Pinder and Mrs Will Suggs and frappe was dispensed by Little Misses Debery, Alice Tillery, Bessie Mae Bramlette, Sylvernia Johnson. Dancing and games were the features of the even-
ing, after which a two course menu was served. Those present were: Mrs. Amanda Deberry and two daughters of Mass., and Mrs. F. M. Utley, of Nashville, Misses Susie and Lenora Bridgeforth, Dimple Daily, Eiffle, Annie and Bessie Daugherty, Estella and Terridia Black, Josephine Bramlette, Mannie Turner, Carolina Brown, Mrs. Sylvona Cowley and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Daugherty and Messrs. Harvey North, Nelson Reynolds, John Abernathy, Walter McNairy, John Harwell, Bell Suggs, French Baltine, Walter Suggs, Paul Rhodes and Edward Turner.
JOHN ROBINSON'S CIRCUS.
The oldest, heaviest and most intelligent herd of elephants in the world are coming to Nashville, Monday, Sept. 9, as the special feature of the big menagerie with the John Robinson Circus. These elephants have been in America since before the Civil War and have been seen by more millions of persons than any other herd of pachyderms ever brought together. They are of the massive Burmiah family of elephants, and these, showmen say, are the most intelligent of all their kind. The elephants, besides being a feature in the street parade, are also one of the biggest acts with the circus. For half a century they have been trained until some of the things they do are amazing and almost human.
Be it said to their credit, they are good elephants, None has ever seriously hurt any one, and they are as affectionate their trainer as any other pet may be. They do a maze of work around the show and are justly entitled to the cognomen "The grand old men of the Circus." This herd of elephants is only one of many features in the John Robinson Menagerie, which is said to be the most complete with any circus in the world. On show day tickets will be on sale at De Movilles drug Store, 4th and Church, at the same prices charged on the show grounds.
THE SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY
COMMISSION'S REPORT.
The Southern University Commission for the scientific of race questions, created six years ago by the action of eleven southern state universities, has just published its first report. Meeting twice a year to plan and discuss is investigations, the Commission has spoken little and studied much. Its only public utterances have been three open letters to the college men of the South, all of which have been widely approved by the southern press. These letters are embodied in the present report.
ON LYNCH LAW.
The first is not only a strong protest against mob violence, but is an urgent appeal to college men to lead a crusade "for law and civilization."
A WORD ON EDUCATION
The second urges college men to work for better schools for white and black as a present necessity for the welfare of the entire South; but it pleads especially for "a larger share (of school funds) for the Negro on the ground of the common welfare on common justice" and link in our civilization, and our welfare is indissolubly bound up with his."
THE NEGRO MIGRATION
The latest letter, considering the causes o the migration, admits the South's inability "to compete on a financial basis" with other sections," but contends that "the South can easily keep her Negroes against all allurements if she will give them a larger measure of those things which human beings hold dear than material goods" "fair dealing, sympathy, patience, generosity, kind both spiritually and materially," Surely the South has nothing to lose and much to gain by adopting (such) an attitude."
A FORMAL REPORT.
The present report makes public the scope of the Commission's study, and the minutes of regular meetings, with their record of discussions of race problems with leading men of both races who have been invited to the various sessions. There are also valuable committee reports of investigations made. Gov. Brough of Arkansas, who was the Commission's chairman while a professor at the State university, outlines the plan of work in an able paper present at one of the earlier meetings. Dr. Scroggs, of Louisiana, has a careful historical study of the Negro's civic status, with present-day applications. Dr. DeLoach, who was, a member of the faculty of the university of Georgia, chairman of the Commission's Committee on Economies, has a convincing report of the economic results of the university's fine agricultural extension work among Negro farmers, a report of interest to all who have the welfare of the South at heart.
PERSONNEL OF THE COMMISSION
Dr. Doster, of the University of Alabama, is the present chairman of the Commission. The other universities represented are those of Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee and Mississippi. Dr. Dillard, of the Jeans and Slater Boards, Dr. Alderman and Dr. Barrow, presidents of the Universities of Virginia and eGorgia, and Dr. Mitchell, former president of the University of South Carolina, act as an advisory board to the Commission. Copies of the report ma ybe had on application to Dr. W. H. Hunley, Lexington, Va.
Foch has ten weeks or more of good fighting weather to round out his work for the year.
According to dispatches from Amsterdam a woman has been elected to the Dutch Parliament. The successful candidate is Miss Grovenweg, who was on the Socialist Labor ticket. Under the revised constitution of Holland women are eligible to seats in Parliament and Miss Grovenweg was one of 20 women who contested for election.

as we travel from place to place in
our professional duties and to pro-
pagate. patriotism, we are inconven-
