FACTS PROTECT AGAINST FRAUD FACTS PROTECT AGAINST FRAUD A knowledge of the facts is the best safeguard against security frauds, in the opinion of Edward T. Hall, President of the National Better Business Bureau. Unprincipled Promoters, through the medium of "tipster sheets," high pressure salesmen and other devious means, are said to extract a billion dollars yearly from hopeful, but financially ignorant people. In this country we have a group of financiers, stock exchanges and investment institutions that rival, in integrity, knowledge and plain common sense those found anywhere in the world. Sound investment advice is free for asking. The major stock exchanges and investment bankers do everything in their power to protect the public by thoroughly investigating the, securities they list before offering them to the public. Yet the trickster flourishes. The old attraction of "easy money" brings the sheep into the fold. And until the investing public realizes that get-rich-quick schemess are almost certainly unsound or fraudulent and that recognized securities alone are profitable in the long run, avoidable losses will continue to occur.

TO PRAYING MEN AND WOMEN OF AMERICA: In the name of Jesus, I am appealing to you to unite with me in prayer to God for the restoration of my health. I have been ill for several years, and have been constantly bed-fast for two years, suffering great physical agony. I am blind and physically helpless. This condition has befallen me in spite of the fact that I have spent more than $10,000.00 for medical and surgical treatment and care. I am now convinced that I cannot get relief through any earthly means. My case cannot be reached by medical and surgical treatmet, by change of climate, or by health resort; I have tried them all. However, I believe in the power of God, and I am asking Him to give me relief. I am seeking to procure the prayers of one hundred praying Christians, and I desire you to be one of them. I am asking for one week of prayer, beginning Sunday, August 11th, and continuing through Sunday, Aug. 18th, and that prayer be offered at any time during said week, but particularly at the hours of 9 o'clock a. m. and 9 o'clock p. m. of each day. with echoes from the state B. Y. P. U., and National Congress at Charleston, S. C. Mrs. Eula Mae Hamilton talked on "A deeper reverence and its effect on the young life when Taught at the Junior Age." Mrs. Laura Anderson sang, "Building." "How to Reach and Hold the Children's Interest," and address delivered by Mrs. Olga'Baker, Wichita. The sermon was preached by the Rev. G. T. Raimey, Junction City. The outstanding features of this morning session were an address, "The_Responsibility_of the Church as to the Social Life of Young People," by Mrs. Laura Anderson, Wichita; music by the Arkansas City Quartet, and a Demonstration, "Music as a part of the Worship and What It Contributes to the Service," by Miss Dorothy Sims, Wichita. Miss Luvena Gunn is pianist and Mrs. Laura Anderson, director of music for these services. (Continued next week) AN AUTHORITY ON CRIME Writing in Harper's Magazine, Jack Black, who served several long terms for felonies, effectually explodes much of the hysteria about crime and criminal legislation. He says most of the reformers begin at the wrong end. They advocate more laws, when present laws are adequate and additional legislation serves only to make the problem more complex and create more criminals. They criticize the police, when the fault lies in the system that has undermined many of our police departments. Graft and corrupt politics have so lowered respect for public authority that police departments are crippled and honest, intelligent men are discouraged from taking up such work as a vocation. Mr. Black speaks as an authority. He has been a criminal and has known thousands of other criminals. He asserts that third degree methods the American prison system and a burden of laws, tend to increase crime. There has been too much favoritism in handling crime. We must apprehend the guilty and protect the innocent. We need well-paid, high-class police officers. Otherwise, we will remain impotent in our fight against the underworld. ANYTHING MIGHT HAPPEN From The Twin-City Herald One of the most recent racial troubles, occurred in the neighboring State of Nebraska, which is considered "up North." This race problem has a way of appearing at points where least expected. We who are usually the sufferers, should always be prepared to demand that the laws be obeyed and that all citizens are protected. The only organization WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Aug. 16, 1929 BOGUE. KANSAS. among us that makes any attempt to protect the Group's civil rights through appeals to justice and thro the courts is the N. A. A. C. P., and the support that it receives in the Minneapolis is pitiful. St. Paul has no active organization and Duluth, is in worse shape. One of the most sincere workers in this organization was the late Dr. R. S. Brown who is said to have remarked that the only way to get the average group member to realize the necessity of supporting the N. A. A. C. P., was to have something like a lynching or a race riot occur. That this is true is regrettable. If Minnesota think that they are safe from racial disturbances they are fooling themselves. Every day the law that prohibits discriminations an account of color is violated in Minnesota and nothing is done about it. Yet there are people who say that this organization is not needed. It is tiresome for this writer to continue week after week stressing the need of support of this organization financially. Membership in it costs only One Dollar. If a man's rights are not worth One Dollar per year, he should have them all taken away from him. There are people in this country who are interested in accomplishing that very thing. People who live in this section of the country and are always lamenting on the condition of southern Negroes had better look around right here at home, was only a few years ago that mob violence caused lynchings right here in our own state. A recent scrape, interracial in character at Sixth Avenue and Lyndale, Minneapolis, could have easily assumed race riot proportions. What such instances have to do with support of the N. A. A. C. P., need not be explained to people of intelligence. Colored citizens must always be prepared for anything. Rights unless protected and contended for, have a way of slipping away. E. B. B. CLUB NOTES The members of the club met on Wednesday afternoon in the home of Mrs. L. Anderson, 928 N. Wichita. The time was devoted to the transaction of business.

NEGROES DISCRIMINATION DFISCRIMINATIOT ASBURY PARK, N. J., July 26—"We are going to use our beach as other people use it" Is the unequivocal demand that has just been made upon the Board of Commissioners of the Asbury Park Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. in a letter which was today made public. During the summer of 1928, following the action of police officers who approached colored people and told them to "go down where you belong," protest by the Asbury N. A. A. C. P., to mayor brought forth the statement from that official that "no such order had been given any officer of the force and no such orders will be given." The discriminatory practice comed of was ended. This year, however, it is rumored, certain colored people approached the City Commissioner and asked for a segregated Section of the beach. As a result there have been several instances recently where colored people have been ordered away from certain parts of the beach. In the letter to the Board of Commissioners relative to this latest instance of discrimination, the Branch declares: "We are citizens and not cattle and we will not be quiescent under any practices or conditions that seek to deprive us of our inalienable rights. If it must be so, we shall peaceably submit to arrest in order to have the courts inform you what are our rights; but rest assued that we are going to use our beach as other people use it." The N. A. A. C. P., letter then calls attention to an attack made upon three colored men by a life guard on July 14th because they went to a part of the beach where the guard thought they should not have gone. The letter ends with the statement: "We feel that we have been patient and have endured much. We shall not annoy you with further communications unless you so desire, but please be advised that the National Association never fights except for the rights of citizens, and it never stops fighting until the court of last resort has passed upon the issue." The outcome of the case is being watched with interest by the citizens of Asbury Park and other New Jersey beach resorts. It is the feeling that had Negroes maintained a united front against discrimination or segregation, the present issue would never have arisen. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CH We were pleased to have out-of-town and other visitors present at the session of our Bible School that opened at 9:30 a.m. At 11 a.m., there was a large attendance; our pastor, Rev.

F R FITZWATER D.D. Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago (822) 1222 Western Newspaper Union Lesson for August 18 THE RETURN FROM CAPTIVITY LESSON TEXT—Jeremiah 29 10-14; Erra 1:1-8; Pa. 126.1-6. GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Happy Home Coming. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Second Chance INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Making a Fresh Start TOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Historic Significance of the Return. 1. The Return Predicted (Jer. 20:10-14). False prophets were flourishing in Babylon telling the people that they would speedily be restored to their own land. To counteract this the Lord moved Jeremiah to send a letter to the captives in Babylon (vv. 8, 9) in this letter he advised them to settle down and quietly pursue their regular callings of life, and not to be led astray by the false prophets (vv. 6, 7). 1. The length of the captivity (v. 10). Their coming back was to be "after seventy years" From Daniel 9:2 it is clear that seventy years means a definite time. It dates from the time when the first company, among which Daniel was found, was taken captive 2. Recovered by God (vv.10-14). God's purpose in the Captivity was to cure them of their idolatrous practices. He assured them that when Ills purpose was accomplished he would visit them and convince them of Ills good purpose toward them 11. The Predicted Captivity Fulfilled (Dzra 1:1-0). 1. The Proclamation of Cyrus (vv 1-4). (2) By divine initiation (v. 1). "The Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus." How this was done we do not know. Possibly Daniel brought to his attention the prophecy of Isaiah and Jeremiah (Isa. 44:28; Jer. 25:12) (3) The content of the king's proclamation (vv. 2-4). (a) "The Lord God of heaven hath charged me to build Him a house in Jerusalem" (v. 2). This makes clear that he had some impression of God's hand upon him. (b) Appeal to Jewish patriotism (v. 3). He invokes upon such as possess the national religious feeling the blessing of God, and commands them to go and build the house of the Lord God. (c) To lend assistance (v. 4). Many of the Jews were established in business and therefore were not free to go. Many, no doubt, had lost their national spirit and were not anxious to go. All such were to lend friendly assistance with silver gold and beasta. 2. The response to Cyrus' proclamation (vv. 5, 6). The chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin and the priests and Levites presented themselves as willing to go. The company which returned was largely made up of representatives of Judah and Benjamin. 3. The roral favor (vv. 7-11). Cyrus returned 5,400 vessels of the house of the Lord which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jeru salem and put into the house of his gods. This was a great encouragement to every loyal Jew whose heart had been gleaved over the profanation of these sacred vessels III. The Gladness and Rejoicing of the Returning Exiles (I.n. 120:10) 1. The proclamation of Cyrus as a dream (v. 1). They recognized that their going back was through the favor of the Lord. 2. Their laughter and singing (vv. 2, 3). They not only recognized the favor of the Lord upon them, but testified thereof in the hearing of the heathen round about them. 3. Their prayer for prosperity in the land (v. 4). They were not only going back with the consciousness of the good hand of the Lord upon them, but were trusting Him for the fruitfulness of the land. 4. Sowing in tents (vv. 5, 6). The seeds which they were to sow on the land were so precious that they seemed to have hesitated as to sowing, and yet they recognized that joy would follow their sorrow when they should bring in the sheaves of the harvest. Galing Fragrance We never miss an opportunity of giving innocent pleasure, or of helping another soul on the path to God, but we are taking away from ourselves forever what might have been a happy memory, and leaving in its place a remorse.—Frances Power Cobbe. Victory A victory won over self is the only victory acceptable to God.—Charles Noel Doulglas. BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 1929 "Making Use of Nature's Laws." Gal. 6:7; Matt. 13:8; Mark 4:28. Making the best use of nature's laws are known, hence, a knowledge of the laws of nature is of great value. The study of science is an effort to find how God works in nature. The laws of science never end the laws of revelation and of are of God and from God. We cannot deceive God, if we try, we only deceive ourselves. God knows our thoughts afar off. Man reaps what he sows, quantity he reaps more than he sows in quantity. The harvest depends much upon the land and, the earth has the power to bring forth in divine order. THOUGHTS The harvest depends upon the land, the seed and the man but most of all upon God. Each man must reap his own labor. Nature's laws cannot be broken. We suffer, therefore, not because we take the law, but because we tried. The law remains the same, the change is in us. Calvary Baptist Church REV. J. W. HAYES, PASTOR M. LIVINGSTON. REPORTER. S. S. at 9:30; Supt. Mrs. Strother in charge. Opening song, "Sweet hour of Prayer;" Prayer by Bro. L. W. Walters.

Scripture reading, Dan, 1st chapter, Pastor chos his text from Dan. 5:27: "Tekel, Thou art weighed in the balance and are found wanting."

U. at 6 p. m., was not as well attended as we would like to have it. Evening worship at 8:00 o'clock. Pastor being out of town, Rev. J. F. Greene, had charge; devotionals in charge of Deacons. Scripture reading Mark 12th chapter. Rev. Green preached from 1st Peter, 4:17: "For the time is come that judgment begin at the house of God and if it first begins at us what shall the end be of those that obey not the Gospel of God?" He did his best trying to make plain this all important subject, and what it means to stay close to God. THE DISCONTENTED SERVANT There was once a man who lived in town. And if everything didn't go his way, He'd go about the town with a growl and a frown; He'd growl at this, he'd growl at that every day. You'd never him see, unless he had a rumor; He'd start at sunrise with a grown and a doubt. Folks had often told him, they tho't he was right, For many things he'd ask for, he'd, always get: So on he went, Long afterwards he asked them to help him to win the fight; He woud always start something else before one thing could be set. But if he had just had faith and hold the long and shabby bridge; God is our bannister and if we trust. He will guide us across the long and shabby bridge. They will help us overcome our caes, When we have faith and not be afraid to ask; All who trust Him will be able to climb climb Without a stumble or a fall, up life's stairs. —By Gail Dudley, Atchison- S THE'TUNNEL OF LIFE (Composed by Gail Dudley) Tho' the journey of life may acem dreary We should use the light Ho gave us, We sometimes get tired on the road and become weary. When our lights grow dim simly in Him trust. As we travel the raod it is like a dark tunnel. We enter the broad end and are bruised by many thorns. Every day's journey brings us to the end of the horn; Life is a broad road, gradually closing up like a tunnel. But at the entrance of the way Stands one who has tried to keep us in the dark all the way; Simply in Him trust and devil will flee from you, But at the end of all, if you trust you'll find Him a friend true.

Who is His Duty Toward God? 2. To His Fellowman? 3. To His Country? 4. To His Home? 5. To His Church? Continued from last week) "Mans' Duty to his Country." In my scripp, man's duty to his coun- try would be to make it what it ought to be, and to make it a safe place in which to live. If you would live in a country to become a part of a country, and to think in terms, always of it being our country; one cannot successfully make a thing what it should be unless that one becomes interested in or a part of the thing. To make clear what I am trying to say: Suppose I was seeking employment, and there were plenty opportunities providing I am able to come up to the requirements, and suppose the requirements would be like unto this; or suppose the one of whom I was seeking employment would say, I want a man that will become a part of my firm by investment; or make bond in that I may feel safe when I am away, to trust my business in his hand. Then what you think would be the wise thing to do, give bond to assure the safety of the business safe in your hand, or invest, that you may know in reality that you are a part of the business? Without a word of contradiction one will surely become a part of his own; that is he wants to succeed. I hold that in either way, you take a position, hether you invest, give bond or are tarustworthy wormman, in order to succeed, one must be interested or become a part of the thing to which he is connected, that some results of impotence may be obtained, of which you will not be ashamed; for it is truly writ- in the book; your works shall follow you; winner is good or bad. In order to be loyal and as one's duty to his country one should be interested enough in his country to see to it that if there is anything going on around him contrary to the laws of his country, his duty as a law-abiding citizen, is to see that it is stopped; whether you are the law or not, help to make the country a safe democracy. If the law violator does not heed your advice, then it is your duty to your country to see that the law is enforced. (Be sure you're on the safe sidebefore investigating) We should all be intelligent enough, in this civilized country to know that if we don't help make a country what it should be, we cannot hope to obtain results that we may think we should have; and it out part of the program. There must be some suffering, somewhere, on the part of someone neglecting a duty, for it is a sure fact the time is just about past for one to ride the bling baggage any more as in the past; there are more detectives now in this country now, than ever before, and we are glad of one thing on the part of some, that this country has a law, that if one expects to make it by riding the blinds, always, there are places prepared for them all over these countries. Those who expect in any way to live by dishonest means, have a chance to be corrected by law. My advice to all is to line up to uphold the law and show your duty to your country by becoming a part of the country and not an enemy. (Continued next week) OTTAWA IDEAS Bethany S.
