Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.14, No.30 EDITORIAL SQUIBS. THE ELECTION is over and a season of mud slinging, political gunning, unfair propaganda and vicious attacks on character has again passed down into the current of time to be swept out into the oblivion which much of the political claptrap so well deserves. Results of the election always an unknown quantity until after the ballots have been counted and which wise acres in the political game never attempt to forecast except as a encouraging stimulus to party weakness some what upset things thruout the country by not running exactly true to form. Due to an apparent Democratic landslide which may be attributed to some several causes Republican candidates not only in Kansas, but over the entire country went west down Salt Creek. The causes of Republican defeat generally, however, may be attributed to the general spirit of unrest and discontent which is and has been for a number of months running current in the body politic of the American People. Attitude of the National Administration on problems having to do with measures affecting legislation favorable to ex-service men; Unwillingness of the American Laboring Forces to adjust themselves to prewar economic conditions, together with a general disposition to make some one suffer for ills which the average voter believed to have existed in governmental circles. To the Colored man in various section the election must stand as an acid test applied to the general sentiment of the white race as touches certain vital issues which eventually must be solved by the powers of peace and harmony based upon a better intercial understanding and relationship or the startling forces of moderized anarchy teeming with bolshevik tendencies. In Kansas it may safely be said that no man would have predicted a Democratic governor elect with an entire state ticket of Republican officers elected to accompany him into office next January, and the entire situation may be attributed to the general disgruntled attitude of the laboring element of the state and the inclination of the average voter to be swayed by radical, passionate attacks against the established order of things without exercising supreme right of American Citizenship "THE RIGHT TO THINK FOR ONE'S SELF." In Sedgwick County which stood out as a remarkable exception to the ordinary run of things due to a determined display of an intent to think for themselves the Negro Voters thru the spirit of party organization placed the ballot which beyond all doubt prevented an overwhelming loss to the Republican Party and saved to the party the major portion of the county ticket. With one exception the Democratic successes in the county election may safely be attributed to the individual popularity of their candidates together with some minor defects in the Republican County Organization. Never perhaps before in the history of the county has such an excellent opportunity been afford the Republican Party to make tenuible reward to the Negro man for loyal party service. A FATHER AND SON'S BANQUET such as was recently held in this city affords an exceptional opportunity to get first hand information concerning the fathers of the community who have really caught a world-wide vision of the place the younger men of the race are to play in the rebuilding of the world along safe and conservative lines in which the leaders of the race are to stand out as something more than "Also Rans." More it afforded opportunity to determine in a great measure the fathers of the city who by force of thought have been able to fully determine the vast responsibility of FATHERHOOD and have measured up to the full requirements of modern society. Boys accompanied by men other than their fathers, far outnumbered the boys seated by the side of diginified fathers, thrilled with a sense of duty to society and God, playing the game of "Old Pal" to the last inning with their sons. Where are the fathers of the race? Alas! One need not go far to determine the cause of juvenile demoralization and delinquency, for without the strong guiding hand of a father, the boy life of no community under ordinary circumstances can measure up to present day standards being set by the Christian Church and modern social agencies. The spirit of Christian Fatherhood is the spirit of the "Old Pal" father in the life of the growing boy and the Christian father who cannot play the game with his boy as a pal joining in his plays and joy, sorrows and terrors, succeedces and failures, materially failing to catch the proper conception of the attitude of parent and child upon which all races have developed their racial grandeur; Like Father, Like Son, God help the race if the spirit of parental neglect manifest at the recent banquet is to become a characteristic of the future fathers of the race. THE cry of the leaders of the race and their struggle must for an understanding with one another in order that they may better be in position to present a united front to those forces with which they must deal for the betterment of conditions having to do with the national and local racial life. A few leaders who while they may differ on ordinary propositions, can at least arrive at definite understandings where the national life of their people may be concerned and an intelligent mass of followers will accomplish more to bring about satisfactory adjustment of racial problems in the United States than all the vain boasting of present-day political leadership. This is the era of COMMON SENSE and ORDINARY DECENCY of attitude on the part of racial leadership towards their fellows and where these are lacking on the part of individual leadership, nothing is to be gained by the race. MORE AND MORE to the ordinary thinker does it stand out in spite of all that may be said by opposers to the contrary that the Colored Minister and Educator are the two vital factors in race-building without which there can be no continued progressive trend of the Colored Race. Eliminate the influence of the minister for good and with it do away with the pork' of our all-too-often unfairly attacked teachers and the race as a whole will not be able to stand another twenty-five in the security of American Citizenship.

ANTI-LYNCHING CRUSADERS HOLD MONSTER MASS MEETING. THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM GULF COAST HIGH SCHOOL The Pride the Gulf Coast Baptist in Mississippi located at Gulfport. (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, PA., Nov. 17—Speaking before an audience that taxed the seating capacity of Ebenezer Baptist Church, of which the Rev. Junius C. Austin, is pastor. Dr. James Weldon Johnson, executive Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., made a profound plea for racial co-operation on the part of members of the race to do all possible to urge passage of theayer Anti-Lynching Bill now pending in the United States Senate. The seating capacity of the church is 2,000 and fully twice that number could not gain admission and had to be turned away. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Anti-Lynching Crusaders of which Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkins is director general for the state of Pennsylvania. The music for the occasion was furnished by The Arion Male Quartetto Robert A. Lewis, director; and Col. William Blue, national music director of the American Woodmen. Rev. J. C. Austin, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., acted as master of ceremonies; Mrs. Mary Turner-Burwell, chairman program and music. More than a score of the various women's clubs and organizations of the city co-operated in selling buttons and securing memberships to the Anti-Lynching Crusaders organization. The speaker pointed out in detail the long and difficult struggle that had been put forth to pass the Dyer Bill in the House of Representatives and how it was kicked and cuffed in the Senate and finally left over unpassed by the act session. He told his hearers that if members of the United States Senate were sufficiently convinced that the Negroes throughout the country were in earnest for the passage of this bill to stop the curse of lynching in this country favorable action could be expected. The lack of co operative interest shown thus far by Negroes throughout the country failed to compel the members of the Senate to feel that they must act favorably on the Dyer Bill. This strenuous effort by Negroes throughout the country on the eve of this important national election is bound to bear fruit. He urged every Negro voter to write his Senator asking for the passage of the Dyer Bill. Millions of letters and telegrams from Negroes from all parts of the country urging the passage of the bill will aid greatly in having the Senate enact this bill into a law. He urged them to ask their white friends to use their influence with members of the upper house of congress for the passage of the bill. ohn Davis Wins Suit From Santa Fe R. R. Mr. John Davis was confiled in jailed Aughst 26, 1918 for five days which proved to be against his health and more of a fame up than truth, entered a suit for $3000. He was accused of making insulting pro-German remarks, but when Atty. Fred C. Helm, one of the best legal advisors in the city, was through with the loyalty of the Negro from his first appearance in American, through all he wars and as a Southern slave with the responsibility of his master's family and plantation, when he produced a witness, who stated that he was a purchaser of War Saving Stamps, the jury and the judge were give evidence in the case of its worthy. So eloquently did Atty. Helm emphasize loyalty of the race and point out the facts of this case, with purchasing of the Stamps as a particular fact, the jury had evidence enough to give decision for $940. The railroad had 6 witnesses to Davis' two. For four hours the jury worked to reach a verdict in the case. Dr. J. E. Farmer, ne of the most dependable physicians of the city, testified as to the health of the client from the five days of imprisonment. We feel proud of the these race men also of our city, that can produce a judge and jury, who can be fair and impartial to its citizens. LAST CALL Mr. and Mrs. Subscriber here in Wichita, will you please ask your neighbor or friend if their family has been listed in the Year Book compiled and printed by The Negro Star Pub. Co., 1241 Wabash Ave., which is about to go to press. Now, if you find a family, who is moving or was out of the city when survey was made, you may call Market 3130 or Market 5700-W and let us know, that we may list them in this book. If anyone is missed it will be your or their fault so help us to not miss you and to make real history for Wichita.

Want Dempsey to Fight Wills and Siki in Europe. (Preston News Service) NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 10.—According to a statement made public by Dan McKettrick, eastern representative of the Kearns-Dempsey interests, the champion may go to Europe again. this time to meet Battling Ski or Oarry Wills. McKettrick announced that he is in receipt of two offers for Dempsey's services, both of them from England. The first bid, he said, offered Dempsey $125,000 to meet Ski; the second a quarter of a million to meet Harry Wills. Just what Dempsey will do in this matter has not been announced. Kearns is striving in every way possible to keep his meal ticket before the public without letting him take a serious chance in a fight where there is a possibility of losing the title. It is thought that Dempsey may take on he bout with Siki, but serious doubt is expressed with regard to a bout between Dempsey and Harry Wills. Dempsey thinks that Siki will be a set-up and he appears anxious to meet the conqueror of Carpentier. European fight fans are anxious to see Harry Wills in action, but say frankly that Dempsey is the only man they know of who has a chance with the Bronze American Panther. Ministerial League Holds Elecetion. The Wichita Ministerial League at a meeting held at Calvary Baptist Church, Monday elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Reverends E. T. Fishback, president; I. H. Edmond, vice president, B. C. cannavalona, Secretary; Walton Brown, treasurer. Rev. Fishback appointed Rev. J. E. Douglas, chairman of Executive Committee; John Wesamman, chairman Committee; J. E. Douglas, chairman of Program Committee and B. C. Rannavalona, chairman of Resolution committee. A hearty endorsement was made to he general Community Chest Movement to which the ministers pledged he full support of their organization. Plans were made for a Union Thanksgiving Service under the auspices of the organization at New Hope Baptist Church at 11:00 a.m. Thanksgiving Morning. JACKSONVILLE, FLA., Nov. 17, (Preston News Service) Edwin Burch, charged with vagrancy, handed the police judge a copy of his booklet which he was distributing among Negroes here and was discharged by the official with the following comment: "I think your work will accomplish more for the betterment of your people than me sending you to the prison farm. I am told that the police found you at the union depot passing out these books to colored people. You say you have just landed in town. After looking over your booklet I am confident that you will be able to accomplish much good in this city by placing it in the hands of your people. You are at liberty to carry on this good work here." The Commandments follow 1. Men, women, boys, girls. husands. wives, sweethearts and lovers hate not work, it is the first step to progress, prosperity, honesty, respectability and wealth. 2. Keep within the confines of the tw. Crime and violation of laws pay off only in grief, worry, sorrow and misery. 3. Love, adore and cherish the Negro woman; by this you respect your mother and gain the respect of your fellowman. 4. Remember, America has done more for you than any other country in the world, and will do more in proportion to the number of converts from ignorance to intelligence. Let well enough alone. 5. Remember, in America, Canada, Mexico or across the sea, you are a Negro wherever you may be. The stain shall be forever upon thee. The history of the Negro has been written and cast to 4 corners of the world. You cannot overcome history. 6. Remember, when mingling with evil associates, you are swinging upon the fail house gates. Desperadoes, outlaws and bad characters, all must bow before the forces of law and rder. 7. Do not attempt to do some things you see in the movie show. Moving pictures have caused the eyes of many to be opened and have caused the eyes of many to be closed. 8. Respect the man who owns this country. He is your best friend, after all. He gave you a home in the best country in the world. Otherwise you would be, perhaps, this day, in dark Africa, the least civilized, less developed and recognized of all countries. 9. Listen not to slick-tongued self-styled Negro leaders, who give you a mouthful of sweet dreamy talk and take a handful of your hard earned money. 10. Remember the money the Negro spends in fine churches, automobiles, conventions and foolishness would build hundreds of mills, factories, plants, hospitals, office buildings, and old folks' homes, thus giving work to thousands of Negro men, women, boys and girls who pose and repose upon out street corners. Commenting further Judge Beckham said: "This man has evidently seen the curse that is being reeked upon his fellowmen by the insiduous Garvey movement, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Niagara movement, and such other tony-rot that witted lazy Negroes are foisting upon the hardworking members of their race. Material progress of the colored race in this country will be the salvation of the Negro. This man's philosophy is sound. I hope Negroes will do as he points out. The white man of America is the best friend the Negro has. The Negro must now consider life seriously and develop himself and help better his material condition if he would hope to enjoy the full status of Ameri-an citizenship. White men have to work for their salvation and why not the Negro. I sympathize with the Negro and believe I fully understand the many difficulties confronting him. There are too many lazy, good-for-nothing members of that race n this country today. This group must get to work and contribute something to the general welfare. It is the only hope of the Negro race."

The various auxiliaries of the Scc- ond Baptist Church, including, Sun- day School, B. ¥. P, Un Miasion Cir- ele and Brotherhvol, are laboring with that never-tiring effort, which it takes to put Gru tause over. The members of the church and other lis- teners were wonderfully blessed with two splendid sermons on Sunday, Nov. 12, The pastor, Rev, G. T. Rai- mey chose his morning text from Matt. 9:36; subject: “Sheep, without a Shepherd;” and his evening text, from Phil. 2:15; subject: “Christian Example;” and ably delvered Voth sermons, Dear Christian Readers, how many have read ang know of how the bare barious Turks are so savagely, bru- tally and heartlessly murdering and driving Christians out of vartous centers in Asia Minor? Those who have read of these horrible crimes will agree with me that it is heart- rending to read of such. These Tarks that are committing these atrocious erimes are to be pitied and prayed for because they know not what they are doing. But what about us people who, in a Christian country, having the advantage of education and civ- ilization, who profess to have been regenerated, and yet by the hypocrit, false-pretending way some of us live and conduct ourselves, are driving sinners from Christ in greater num- bers than what the Turks are mur dermg Christians in Asia. Turn with me to the 3rq chapter of Paul's Letter (2nd) to Timothy and read the lat 5 verses. Paul says, ‘In the last days, perilous times shall come;’ whether these be the last days, I know not, but Ido know that not even one thing mentioned in these 5 verses fails to be at hand today. And the most sad part is that all things thus mentioned in the 6 verses, exist among Christians, henee and there- fore, why should sinners become Christians? Sinners know these things are wrong and actually refuse to jon themaclves with churches be- cause they know they are as well-off as these would-be-Cristians, and they misjudge all Christians to be alike, I imagine it was such people as the hypocrita, false pretenders or would- be-Christians, whom John the Bap- tist termed “Generation of vipers.” Gentle readers, my advice to the would-be-Christians, those who are capable of thinking, is for them to stop and reflect, steal away to their secret place, (if-they have such a place) and talk with God and ask Him to recelve them back into Jils fold and give them more of His Grace. I beseech of them to move In or move out and not be held account- able at the judgment bar of ‘blocking the traffic’ to Christ’s Kingdom. Salina Happenings, 8ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH.

For a century er more the washing (in certain sections of the country was done by colored people. The Depart- ment of Labor, through Phit HM. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation, Instituted a survey to excertain to what extent “Negroes were still em- ployed“ in the laundry Industry. Washington, D. C., was selcted as a typical city for the investigation, and the result indicates that 64.4 per cent of a total of 1,549 workers of both colors and scaes, engaged in the luun- dry basiness in Washington, D. C., are Negroes. This does not includo Chinese tand, hand laundries; only those plants employing machinery. Tris per cent is based upon a tott! of G51 white and 993 colored workers, whe are further divisble into 268 white males, 223 colored males, 282 white females, and 776 colored fe- males, the colored males and females forming, respectively, 14.4 per cent end 500 per cent of the grind total of 1,549. ‘An anclysix, by shall, of these work- ers, after cliuvinating 196 unclassi- fied worlers, discloses the further fact that it takes 863 skilled work- ers, as. against 490 unskilled workers, to conduct the plant laundry industry of Washington, D. C. Colored skilled workers wth a per cent of 57.2 are performing the bulk of the skilled duties, and of that per cent colored female workers with a per cent of 426, which is practically equal to the entire white increment, male and fe- male, of 428 per cent;,are performing virtuelly one-half of the entire skill- ed laundry wérk, Their male co- workers account for the remaining 146 per cent of the skilled work, Coming to the unskilled group of 490 workers, 73 white ang 417 color- ed, it is found that the latter have a percentage of 85.1 ag against 149 for the former; snd that the colored females with a per cent of 74.1 are, as before, performing the greater part of all duties. Colored males have an inclusion among the unskil- ed workers of 110 per cent, A further analysis wes made, as far as possible, of the avtual occupa- tiona of these workers, and it is found that they were principally dis- Imbuted as follows: ~~ Occupations White Colored Assorters and markers..129 70 Drivers sensmenneen woes UT 58 Engineers cece Ib 5 Toners senccnssnsce seeennee 122 492 Office help numnnenwee 44 0 Shakers cevsseseserrsetenene 10 44 Shirt and collar girls... 12 57 WESHErS cescecueeseereernnenee 17 103 AM Others cesiccsmunnne 89 164 Total oo wveneenreemnerne BSL 998 ars Se MESS, Se lee tors and deliverers. 1. 2, “Washers” Include starchers and wringers. “ ' 3, “Ironers” include machine ‘op- erators and feeders, 4. “Engineers” include firemen and mechanics, 4. “All others” include supervis- ors, catchers, cleaners, general helpers, ete.

Hayes, interpreted to us a literal meaning of the "Golden Rule" A maximum which many have known, verbally at least since first we started to school. There are many or equally as many who have never known the spirit of this God-given principle or learned how to apply it and that it applies both ways. We were given some of the other maximums of philosophers, pertaining to the same thing. "As ye would not that men do unto you, do ye not unto them." Confucius, the Chinese Philosopher. "As ye would not that men do not to you, do ye not to them." Augustine, the Roman Philosopher. These maximums were as you will observe, stated negatively. So, the negative part served as a barrier to help one from doing at all to his brother; and they involved a different standard of ethics. Although there is such thing as "righteous indignation," becoming offended for the cause of the kingdom or a contention for the observance of divine principles, our pastor showed us in many practical ways that at times we do become indignant and not "righteously" so either some time. How often we are so primitive as to resort to the old Mosiac Law "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" or to something more modern "dog eat dog." The Bible infers that by treating wrath with love you heap coals of fire upon your enemy's back. "A soft answer turneth away wrath." Our pastor reminded us that to "ball somebody out" over the 'Phone was defiant to moral desecency as well as to Christianity. There are members of the church, children of The Most High King, who will go all the way around the straight aisle to avoid meeting a "sister" or "brother" that they may avoid speaking to him or her. Yet those same folks "are genuine right straight to Heaven." Heaven is their home. They have another building, not made with hand; their garments have been washed and made clean. How easy we may "kid" ourselves even about God and Heaven. Sunday night our pastor preached us a sermon, one of the Articles of Faith from St. John 1:13,14 "Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14—"And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld His glory of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth." Suffice it to say we heard a wonderful message. The church is now looking forward to its week of prayer and harvest gathering meeting. The Sunday School, B. Y. P.

(Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, PA., Nov. 17 Mrs. Harriet Googins, aged 82 years, widow of the late Lemuel Googins, died at the home of her youngest son, Lemuel Googins, Jr., in Webster Avenue, on Thursday afternoon at 8:45 o'clock following a lingering illness of three years. Mrs. Googins was the daughter of Rev. Louis and Caroline Woodson. She was born in Pittsburgh, and has resided here all her life, being a life time member of Bethel A. M. E. Church from which funeral services were held on Monday afternoon, with the pastor, Rev. J. C. Anderson, officiating. She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Virginia Proctor and Mrs. Emma Lovett; two sons, Granville and Lemuel Googins and several relatives. In a will probated sevral years ago by her husband, who preceded her in death, she was left the sole beneficiary of property valued at over a half million dollars. The late Lemuel Googins was regarded as the wealthiest Negro in Pennsylvania. The two sons are the sole heirs to this vast fortune which has been kept in tact since the demise of her husband. Elijah Runnels Awarded a Carnegie Hero Medal. (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, PA., Nov. 17,—Dr. J. W. Holland, for almost 19 years connected with the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, was elected president by unanimous vote last Friday afternoon. Among those being awarded posthumous medals for conspicuous service was Elijah Runnels, aged 21 yerls, of Ferris, Texas. Runnels died in the attempt to save the life of his employer, a farmer, from drowning when the latter slipped from a levee and was carried down stream. The employer likewise lost his life. The ages of the various heroes ranged from 12 to 48. Practically all represented were workingmen, school children or stenographers. School Boys Send Governor 15 Pound Sweet Potato.

ONE ordinary school teacher, training the black boy of today for the vast problems of tomorrow is worth a thousand ordinary, political wife acres, and one ordinary minister of any denomination touched by the guiding hand of Divine Providence can secure for the race, considerations through the influence of the Christian Church and its teachings that will outshine any efforts of a radical group of forces which may strive to work divorced from the spirit of the church and school which after all are the prime factors in the solution of all racial differences. To laugh and dream of what might have been had not the foe's keen dagger been stayed by the guiding hand of God's redeeming love; To catch the sweet scent of life's fairest blossoms and feel that you too have played your part in planting kind deeds, friendly smiles and forgiving prayers in the eternal garden of God's, where others in passing will remember you for what you did not do in resisting the poisonous attacks of a vicious foe; To recognize in the bitterest foe the faintest spark of soul life and divinity rather than be on the alert to catch the sinister influence of the serpent and slay in the justification of righteous defence; To attribute all evil influences to the powers of hell and daily battle to overcome from within and without that Christ may ever be till in all in the affairs of the individual and collective life of the race. These are the things that give courage to those striving for the greater good for the race who go up against the malicious intents of selfish individuals teeming with an ignorant sense of forceful importance in the affairs of the race. THE man who can pray while others, and scheme while others sleep; The man who can laugh while others curse and battle, while others despair; The man who delights in the friendly help of all men but resolves to win with or without help; The man who will never turn until he is master of the situation, but can stoop to conquer; The man who with a pleasing smile can hide his bitter contempt while he resolves to fire above the head of his disarmed foe; The man who struck to the heart by Satan's fiery darts comes up back to the fray, strengthened by communication with a powerful God. —Mark Ye, that man in life's most terrific storm will find his bark sailing safely into some tempered haven, ____S____ No man can attain to the highest degree of respect in the estimate of his fellows who is forever offering suggestive knocks against his fellowman. The Knocker employs the same weapon against his hearers tomorrow that he uses against another person with them today. ONE RACE with strong leadership will accomplish much, yet one race with a strong and fearless press to stand forth as its racial mouthpiece will accomplish more, READ SOME NEGRO PAPER, and help the fair-minded editors of the race mould racial sentiment in your favor as well as develop the firm spirit of racial pride within the race without which it cannot hope to enjoy the glories of an Americanism to which it has so materially contributed during the last fifty years. AS THE NEGRO STAR goes to press, the sad news comes that Mrs. L. Flemings of Los Angeles, Calif., wife of one of the outstanding Baptist ministers of Los Angeles, and daughter of Mrs. Matilda(Mother Clark) Clark, 628 North Water Street, died Wednesday in Los Angeles. Mrs. Fleming was a visitor in Wichita, during the early part of the summer and captivated all whom she met by the general sweetness of her sunny disposition and determined Christian efforts. Since residing in Los Angeles, Mrs. Fleming has played a prominent part in both the women's religious work of her home church and throughout the community in which she resided. As a public speaker and religious worker, she had gained great note in California lub and church circles. Born and reared in Wichita, news of her death came like a lightning stroke to her many friends in the community. It is probable that the remains will be brought to this city for burial.

To these, time is as import- art as to the*newspaper man, for a r’se or fall in the markets can make ©. lose for them thousands of dollars. The special stamps often are a means of bearing them news which saves them misfortune or makes them for- tunes, Sweethearts must not be forgotten in the rechoning of the disposal of special delivery stamps. according to Mr, Wallace. The postoffice has many regular customers among the younger men and girls of the city, whho send their “heart’s dearest” a letter for delivery every Sunday. ' Holyoke Hall, the girls’ dormitory at Fairmount College, is the recipient of many letters on Sundays. “There is absolutely no steeping on Sunday mornings,” wrathfully la- ments a resident of that community, whose particular boast of his locality during the week is its “restful quiet, by Jove, where a fellow can forget the doggone noises of the city,” "Every fifteen minutes a fiendish chugging motorcycle explodes and pops its way to Holyoke Hall to de- liver to some young thing a special delivery letter from her sweetie, from whom she hasn’t heard sjnce the pre- reding afternoon.” However, the general belief that these rush letters are associateq with summertime, the “open season for spooners,” is given a rude jolt by the figures which disclose that more spe- clala are sent in the last quarter of tho year than during any other period, indiceting probably that the average ritizen ignores the mail early plea and tken spend ten cents to get his Christmas package rushed. The number of special delivery stamps sold during the last year to- faled 79,092,980, Total receipts from the sacle of the stamps were $7,499,- 298, averaging more than one-half a million dollars a month. | Following these figures every man and boy in the United States sent one | ppecial delrvery stamped letter and every other man and boy recelved a reply last year,—Beacon, . That an invidual, who {s sharply Impressed by anything of vital inter- rst or otherwise sometimes evidences it by rising to the point immediately? That interest is a quality péculiar- ly adaptsble in the hves of normal people; but is an unwelcomed strang- er to the subnormal minds. That “little small” Jimmie Taylor has added much to his popularity? He accompanted us on an Ark. City, trip last Tuesday evening, where he made a very splendid address on all phases of the Hi-Y work. James will some day “weigh quite a bit” if he keeps growing.
