A PRESCRIPTION THAT EVERY HU- MAN BEING SHOULD FILL DAILY.
A PRESCRIPTION THAT EVERY HU- MAN BEING SHOULD FILL DAILY.
(Industrial News Bureau)
I first take 5 drops of good manners, 12 ozs. of common sense, 10 ozs. of consideration, 1 oz. of behavior and boil it down to normal, using a little self-respect and general behavior. Sweden it with manhood and race pride. Take 9 drops three times a day before meals, using it with prayer. When praying, use common sense. Only ask your needs—leave off your wants, and don't forget to say Maim. Some one else may feel like praying too. Squealing and hollowing really isn't praying.
You can have this prescription filled at the House of Understanding. Next door to reason. Now this should be taken according to directions.
I am yours truly in Christ.
National Convention Holds Great Session
(Continued from last week)
The Convention Sermon by Rev. M. J. R. Powell, D. D., Pennsylvania, was a masterpiece. In fact all the selections of the convention were exceptionally good. Dr. L. K. Williams preached from text found in Kings 1943; subject: "The Faith that The Church Needs." He was at his best and spiritually fed our hearts and hearts, Sunday morning, of Davis of Virginia Seminary, delivered the Annual Friday night Address for the Convention. It was filled with wholesome thoughts for a coming race. The Political Hour proved to be an hour of much information and warning the following speaker—"What to do with the one who will not vote?" by Dr. R. L. Bradley of Detroit. Among the many things he said were: "Whatever et-
the state or people, the church should have a part. A man who will not vote is effecting himself. He is an enemy to the race. He is an enemy to the republic." Dr. S. D. Ross spoke of "free Immigration Effecting Economy." It would bring into this country cheap labor and display the Negro must and send him into the town and they would not have money to run their own schools and colleges. Oppose any man who want to modify Immigration laws. Dr. Branham of Chicago, spoke on opposing any man who wanted to appeal the 18th Amendment. Judge Wm. Harrison of Chicago, introduced Senator Robbins of Chicago, in a masterly way, he spoke with authority and gave one very needed advice as to how to use the ballot and what it means to put the right men in office. Dr. W. r. Jernagain spoke on "Good Government." The Church of God must speak out for good government. We must not appeal any amendment; if we start, it will not be long before all the amendments will be appealed.
Report of the National Cradle Roll Convention showed they had raised over $1,000.00 with Mrs. R. T. Sims, President and her wonderful set of offices. They had a most wonderful session. They took prominent part in the Sunday School. Sunday morning. Two prizes were given away: Hicks of Illinois received 1st prize and Mrs. Kannie Shaw received the 2nd or state prize. They adjourned with a determination to double their energy for the next year.
The report for the National Convention of Women's Home and Foreign Mission proved that they had been busy. They raised during the year $26,505.81 and in this session 74,481. Mrs. Layton still holds the gave, and she is supported by a loyal lot of cheerers. They had a very peaceful and profitable meeting. Our own Mrs. I. F. Bates only needed a few more votes to have been the Vice President to take Miss. McDowell's place.
The Layman's Movement National Convention was indeed a success and every paymen of this country should be in touch with this great and much needed organization. Their demonstration to the National Convention was indeed a success and brought much commends. Hon. Jno. L. Webb heads this Convention, and is supported by some of the most substantial business men of this country.
Sunday morning opened with the officials of the Sunday School Publishing Board in charge. They raised $332.25. The prizes went to Alabama, 1st; Mississippi, 2nd and Ohio. Services Sunday were extremely good all day.
Monday was a busy day formulating Boards and winding up the Convention business. The Foreign mission report shows that Miss Williamson has raised over $10,000.00 for the Foreign Mission Board since her return and will sail soon.
Our own Miss Mildred Griffin was there and discussed a worthy, capable product for Mission in Africa, and is making ready to sail later. As an ideal worker in church and city

Foreign cities who maintain will

overlook one department of social
economy in which we lead the world.
There is no other country where so
much has been done to release women
from household drudgery.
Addressing an audience of women
recently, Lead D. Becker, Managing
historian of the Old Heating Institute,
declared that economists are only
beginning to recognize the importance
of this factor in our national progres.
The emancipation of women
from a monotonous hand labor through
the wider use of automatic heating
devices, washing machines, vacuum
cleaners, improved plumbing, and
other household mechanical improvements
should double the potentialities of the American people within
the present generation.
In the nation's pioneer days hours of the housewife's time were necessarily devoted to keeping the home fires burning. Men cut and piled the wood, but there their work ended. It was the women of the family who built the fires and kept them supplied with fuel. The utilization of coal lightened this task, but in many heres the woman is still the furnace tender, running up and down stairs a dozen times a day to shovel on coal, regulate the grate and regulate drafts from the standpoint of the American housewife, the perfection of the automaton of Lurner and gas heating sy tems are an important as the invention of the sewing machine.

The Girl Reserve Advisors met a the Bianch Saturday afternoon They discussed the Grade School Girl Reserve Program for the year. The Douglas Girl Reserves met Monday. Devotions were conducted by the Secretary. The subject was, "Where One Girl Found God." I. King, 19:11-14. "How I Spent My Vacation;" was discussed by the girls. High School Girl Reserves have selected for their theme this year, "The Friendly Road." The President and Secretary of this club have been invited to atted the Girl Reserve Cabinet Meeting at Wichita High School, Thursday evening.

Rev. B. L. Matchapit will speak at the Joint Committee Meeting at the Y. W. C. A. Thursday.
Miss Lucia Hill is assisting Mrs H. T. Greder with Y. W. C. A. Musk.
Miss Hill met with the High School Group Wednesday and introduced two new songs.
DESTROYING THE WEALTH WE CREATE.
(Industrial News Bureau)
"The rate at which we create wealth, and then convert it into a colossal heap of ashes is appalling" said L. G. Hoagland, a fire prevention engineer of New York recently.
"During the past two years the actual property loss in fires was more than $1,000,000,000 an amount that would finance employment of 400,000 men at $1.00 an hour for one year. Ard also the human casualties were heavy.
"During the past forty years the total property loss was $10,000,000,000. If the rate of burning during the past two years continues, the total for the next forty years will be $20,000,000,000.
It must be admitted that in the matter of fire we are the most careless of nations. Our waste for one year could very possibly bankrupt less prosperous countries. And the very fact of our prosperity is no justification for our countenancing destruction.
We must do more than merely regret fire waste. We must give every effort toward outawing it, and providing ways to prevent it. Fire is preventable in almost every instance. It is our own fault if we fail to control it.

WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Sept. 28, 1928
Citizens on political party lines called "get-out-the vote" clubs are being pushed for the November election. In six states the last chance to register is already past and in 37 states registry right expire 30 days before election. In a few states there is permanent registration for property owners whose taxes are paid—Indiana has repledied its registration laws. In many states registered voters lose their rights if they omit voting a certain number of times in each biennial period. The enormous volume of state and federal laws relating to naturalization, registration primaries and election laws, have all tended to in pressing the non-voting class.
Doing away with manhood suffrage and increasing the obstacles, difficulties and voting requirments cause uncertainty and chaos with the results that in many instances minority of voters control election results.

ANOTHER CHANCE AT BOXING TITLE
JOE DUNDEE SIGNS FOR RETURN FIGHT WITH THOMPSON
Negro Boxer Gets Chance to Capture Boxing Title.
WINNER MEFT'S BAKER.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25—Business in the wetterweight division is booming as a result of the 15-round title match definitely arranged between Joe Dundee of Baltimore the champion and young Jack Thompson, California Negro boxer, for November, 10, at Madison Shuare Garden. Thompson knocked out Dundee at Chicago, a few weeks ago in a non-title affair and will have his chance to lift the crown in the forthcoming match at the 147-pound limit, which received the approval of the state athletic commission today.
It is stipulated that the winner of the Dundee-Thompson bout must defend the title within 60 days against Sammy Baker, soldier boxer, but presumably this will depend on the outcome of the scrap tomorrow night at Ebbets Field, where Baker meets Young Cotbett, 3rd of Fresno, Calif.

TRUTH BROUGAT TO THE PUBLIC
"I am very strong for aloover," says Frank Caldwell, prominent Democrat of Eldorado," so much so that I would have been for Hoover, whether or not Smith was the Democratic nominee. In my opinion Hoover represents the very highest standard in our civilization. I could not be for Smith and I cannot maintain my allegiance to the Democratic party until it purges itself of its present leadership. I believe there are enough people who cannot and will not swallow the Tammany jill to deflect Al Smith, but nothing should be left unborn to insure that much to be desired end."
Caldwell, besides being a Democrat is an author. His most recent work is "Wolf, The Storm Leader," a story for boys, which has been widely approved. He is also an experienced public speaker and has already taken part in two national campaigns.
Another "died in the wool" Democrat can't stand his party's leadership in 1928, Oscar Evans Independence, Kansas, Democrat, believes that this election will show the "liquor rulers whether they are in the Democrat or Republican party, that prohibition has come to stay." Mr. Evans promises not only to vote the Republican ticket, but to work for the ticket's success, "They have always said" concludes Mr. Evans "that a Democrat will vote for a 'yellow dog,' but here's a Democrat that won't vote for a whisky bottle."

KEEP THE CROOKS ON THE RUN.
KEEP THE CROOKS ON THE RUN.
(Industrial News Bureau)
"Philadelphia, is developing the same crime situation that cost hundreds of lives in Chicago's gang, gunmen and beer wars," says the Philadelphia Public Ledger "The cowardly shoot-and-run type of murderer is increasing here. So-called 'gang shootings' are increasing. The frequency of these outbreaks, the growing use of machine-guns, sawed-off shot-guns and pistols and the comparative rarity of the arrest and punishment of the human rats who do the shooting demand imperative and drastic action on the part of the police.
"Closer control over the sale of firearms will not wholly meet the emergency. Firearms can be "bootlegged" as easily as liquor. The underworld cannot be easy or wholly disarmed. Ending these "gang wars" is a police job. It can be done by keeping the known "gangster" continually "on the run."
As the Public Ledger says the underworld cannot be disarmed, and it is a fact that laws restricting the sale of small arms are observed only by the good citizen and act to his disadvantage.

KANSAS STATE CONVENTION NEARING
AT LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS
OCTOBER 9-14, 1924.
It is a fact that the Kansas State Convention is hearing time of its annual session and to find out whether the Master's Cause has been neglected and its tenants have honest and faithful stewards. If so, then the cause will be taken care of, and there will be plenty to spare, but if not, there will still be much confusion and many wondering what we do to meet the retraction. If from this Sunday until time of the meeting, the Shepherds would put their whole souls into the Lord's Cause, and let the Shepherds know what is really required of them, they could bring
than astounding report. Some are wondering what are we going to do about a Missionary and Executive Secretary, when they should leave all that up to the Hoy Spirit and He will show the one that is worthy and arranged from the foundation of the world in the mind of God. We should have one, because the Baptists are too free to not have some one to round them up and lead them. They must be called to duty and there should be some definite one to do this work: Everybody's work soon becomes nobody's work.
Every Superintendent, of B. Y. P. U., should be busy and send up your to the S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Boards, which will meet during the session, so you can start off this next year's work with a clear state and clean conscience. Neither the S. S. nor B. Y. P. U. Conventions paid then requirement and you are the cause. If you had just done your duty, everything would have been up to date and the Conventions would have been honored and praised by the State Convention. Will you please send in full amount if possible, if you are not able to send in all, send what you can; let your conscience be satisfied that you have done your best and God will be pleased?

"The right of the states to control local affairs, their people their life, liberty and happiness, all is being subjected to federal legislation and federal control." declared Justice John Williams Kejah of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
"If this nation permits, through legislative, judicial, or regulatory authority, the spirit of the constitution to be violated, then it so far transgresses the maniable rights of the people as to call for a rededication of its principles and re-establishment in the government of those fundamental rights.
"We have no fear for the nation as such from external causes; our fear is from our internal affairs, and that coming from a change in the spirit of the constitution."

EXTENDING PROSPERITY AND HAPPINESS
(Interracial News Burceu)
Supplying electriclight and power to a community is not merely a business. It is a public service that for ever frees men from the tyranny of excessive burden; that spells the difference between less toil and more comfort; less confinement and more leisure; less poverty and more wealth It is the measure of human prosperity and happiness.
Every time electrical service is extended, every time there is a new labor saving device introduced in the home or in the factory, labor is made more useful and productive the individual is released for those pursuits which make for better government, and civilization is broadened and strengthened.
'THE VALUE OF HIGHWAYS.'
'THE VALUE OF HIGHWAYS.'
(Industrial News Bureau)
"Rome was only as great as her highways, a keen minded historian has pointed out. He was right," says the Grand Forks, North Dakota Herald.
"As the roads spread the power and prestige of the nation spread. The Alps were sealed, the territory now occupied by the French, republic was covered with a network of hard surfaced highways, and all roads led to Rome.
"The old roads of Caesar's day were built as military roads, of course, but they were used for purposes of the hour and served their end.
"In the United States hard surfaceed roads are not needed primarily as military roads, but we are living in the age of the automobile and nobody is going back to the horse and buggy. We travel by motor and move our supplies to a considerable extent by motor. The state with poor roads is behind the times and not abreast with the needs of the age. Progress depends to a considerable extent upon roads and so long as we burn gasoline and travel on rubber this will continue to hold true.
"Is the United States or any state within United States, only as great as its highways? An affirmative answer may be a tittle hailsh and a bit overdrawn, but at that it would not miss the mark a great deal."
