So Far, the Springfield, Mo., Lynchers Remain Unpunished! Is Folk Playing to the Grand Stand or Does He Mean Business? VOLUME VIII. This Lodge is Making Marked and Commendable Progress—Best Session in Order's History. The Knights and Daughters of Tabor met in their fourteenth annual session at Wichita, Kansas, last Tuesday in Young's hall, 601 North Main street. Chief Grand Mentor Frank Wilson and Chief Grand Preceptress Emma Gaines, presiding. All the grand officers answered roll call. Every lodge was represented. Delegates from Montana and Nebraska sent good reports showing great progress in those states. Over $10,000 was paid out for all purposes during the past year: over three thousand dollars left in treasury. Several thousand dollars invested in halls and parks, There were no new laws of a material importance passed at this session. Much praise is due the Temples and Tabernacles of Wichita and the good citizens who did so much to make it pleasant for th. visitors. Concerts and parties were given in their honor. Most of the same grand officers were re-elected for the ensuing year. The parade took place Thursday morning, headed by the Wichita Colored Cornet band. Over thirty carriages and automobiles were in line, with hundreds of Daughters in robes of purple, blue, yellow and other rich colors, and crowns and wreaths of gold, bedecked with jewels of every description. The Knights with chapeaus and long silk ashes made the pageant gorgeous in all its splendor and adornment. This was not all. Those who wore these costly costumes are the most progressive and hard-working people of this state and own their homes; some are in business; others in the professions. Some have good bank accounts, a number own buildings which they rent to members of the race. Let others do likewise. After parading the principal streets of the "Peerless Princess," where both white and colored admitted that never before in the history of Wichita has a secret society ever made such a showing, this being the first grand secon ever held in that portion of the state, the people of Wichita have learned that the colored people are moving rapidly, notwithstanding the obstacles placed in their way. Cars were in waiting to take them to the park, where refreshments, baseball and other amusements were enjoyed until evening, when the installation took place at Redman hall. The annual sermon and memorial services were the best held for years. Rev. Fishback, the grand orator, preached the sermon at the A. M. E. church, (Rev. King, pastor,) Wednesday evening. The church was crowded, over two hundred could not get seats. The church choir with its orchestra and the best in the state, rendered a few of their choice selections which electrified the audience. Rev. Fishback was at his best, and preached a soul-stirring sermon, which was uplifting both morally and spiritually. At the memorial services there were two converts, something that has not happened in years. The session closed Saturday, after a resolution was passed thanking the people of Wichita for their kindness and courteous treatment while in the city. The People Like 'Em. At the ending of the fourth quarterly conference of Columbus and Baxter, which was held in Columbus Tuesday night, July 10, Rev. J. R. Ransom delivered an able sermon. He is a fine gentleman, presiding elder of the Ft. Scott district. Quite a large congregation was out to hear the interesting dis course of their beloved elder. Tuesday night he seemed to do even better than at any time before. In all, he is a splendid speaker, whom when once you've heard, you are always glad to hear again. With Rev. Ransom was Hon. W. W. Fisher, the governor's messenger, who gave an able lecture, that was highly appreciated by all present. He is also a noble young man, and destined to make his mark in the world. He gave some wholesome advice to the young people present. In fact, his lecture was interesting from the beginning to the end. His listeners were held spell bound from the moment he started to speaking, and he told the young people of his race several commendable things, which, if they followed would lead to their upbuilding. He is a through race man and believes in the uplifting of his race, and helping our young boys and girls to higher ideals. If more of our young men would pattern after the Hon. W. W. Fisher, we would soon have a great many loyal citizens to fight for their rights. These two gentlemen were accompanied by our own able and efficient minister, Rev. T. W. Greene, who is well liked by his members and was very pleased with his congregation that so well entertained by these two honorable gentlemen. GETTING MORE LIKE WHITE FOLKS! A White Woman Could Not Tell Her Little 12-Year-Old son from a Big, Black, Burly Negro--A Very Course Lle. A Kansas City special to the Topeka Capital under date of July 11 says: "To wake up at 2:30 o'clock in the morning and find a big, burly Negro in bed with them was the experience of Mrs. N.D. Green and Mrs. A. N. Gilbert. The two women retired early and as the night was warm they did not lock the door. Mrs. Green's 12-year-old son, Rolla, went over to Kansas City, Mo., and had not arrived home when she retired. At 2:30 o'clock she woke up and found what she thought to be her son in bed with her. She told him to get up and go to his bed. Mrs. Gilbert was fast asleep and did not hear any commotion at that time. The 'supposed son' answered 'alright' and rolled out of bed over Mrs. Gilbert. "The 'supposed son' took a few steps, into the light which was shining through the window, and it was then that Mrs. Green discovered that the 'supposed son' was a big, burly Negro, as black as the ace of spades. She let out a yell, which woke Mrs. Gilbert, and then grabbed a chair and swung at the Negro, but missed him. Mrs. Gilbert rolled out of bed and also grabbed a chair and went after the Negro. She did not hit him. The Negro ran out of the door and Mrs. Gilbert secured a revolver, but the Negro had got away by running down the steps." A more unreasonable lie has not appeared in print since Aggie Myers, a she devil brutally murdered her husband, and attempted to make it appear that two Negroes committed the crime. It is foolish to attempt to make people believe that a big man piled into a bed—boots, spurs and breeches would be mistaken for a 12-year-old boy. It is this class of liars that cause trouble, and in many instances the lives and property of many innocent colored people have been destroyed. We do not believe that any one entered the home of this woman, and if a "big, burly Negro as black as the ace of spades," was really in the house, it is more reasonable to believe that his presence were known than to swol' low the story that he was mistaken for a little 12-year-old boy! TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 20, 1906 to be Hanged. As a result of testimony before prominent citizens and ministers of Little Rock by the woman, Annie Hartley, who had alleged that she was his victim, Govan Beard, a Helena Negro, may be granted a respite, probably a pardon, by Governor Davis tomorrow morning, when the sworn statements of the woman, relative to the circumstances of the alleged criminal assault and the allidavits of sixteen or more people who testify to the bad character of the woman, have been laid before him. The woman made her final statement at the law office of Baldy Vinson this morning. She had testified practically the same thing several days ago at Fort Smith, and only strengthened her statement concerning the details of her relations with the Negro, and of her complaint to the police, in a fit of anger, and his arrest and conviction of criminal assault on her testimony. During the questioning of the woman by Hon. H. Remmel, Chancellor Hart; and others who aided in the examination, she was at times almost unable to proceed, as she appeared laboring under such anguish and uncasiness... "I cannot see a man hung for a crime he is not guilty of," she cried. "That is the only thing that prompts this statement, and I am going to do all I can to atone for my false testimony." At the close of the examination it was clear to all present that the woman was telling the truth aout her not being the victim of a criminal assault by Beard, and on motion of Rev. Ben Cox, seconded by Rev. W. F. Andrews, it was declared to be the sense of the witnesses present that the Negro should not be hung for the crime supposed to have been committed. It was then decided to appoint a committee to wait on Governor Davis in order to secure a pardon for the condemned man. COMMITTEE TO SEE THE GOVERNOR. The committee who will sue for the pardon of Govan Beard before Governor Davis is composed of Judge W. M. Kavanaugh, chairman, Chancellor Jesse Hart, Revs. W. F. Andrews, Ben Cox and R. W. McKay Max Hieman, A. Brizolara, J. E. Osborne and Dean Robotom. They have decided to present the woman's statement and the affidavits of persons who are acquainted with her low character tomorrow morning. The governor being out of town until late this afternoon, it was thought best to delay the errand of mercy until tomorrow, when efforts for the immediate granting of a pardon or a respite will doubtless be successful. The Negro was to be hanged at Helena on Wednesday, July 18th, and the interposing of another statement by the leading witness, a practical confession of perjury, came just in time. The conviction of Govan Beard for criminal assault on Mrs. Ann'e Hartley was perfectly legal, and in spite of the denial of the prisoner of his guilt, the bulk of the evidence favored the supposed victim, although her reputation was not of the best. The woman's testimony was convincing and the Negro was tried and found guilty in a very short time by the court at Helena. A sentence of death was pronounced and the case was taken to the Su- THE CONVICTION JEGAL. preme Court. There the ruling of the circuit court was affirmed and the hanging fixed for July 19th. Nothing could intervene but a pardon or respite from the governor. After the trial was over which branded Beard as guilty of an infamous crime, Mrs. Hartley, or Mrs. McCabb, as she was then known, became worried, for she said that she didn't know that the penalty meted out to Beard would be death or she would not have warped the facts as she did. She went to South McAlester, I. T., and lived there awhile, then she went to Fort Smith and back to Helena. Her conscience would not rest and she was haunted by the thought of her perfidy. While riding to Forest City from Helena the woman came upon J. I. Altchul and a traveling man, and remarked that she was sorry Beard was going to be hung for nothing. Mr. Altschul knew the woman's escapades in Little Rock in former years and told her that she ought to save the Negro's neck if he was not guilty. She was bound for Ft. Smith, having just been given a ticket and a dollar by the Helena authorities to leave. CONFESSED HER WRONG DOING. It was at Fort Smith that she confessed her wrondoing and low moral guage. Dean Robottom, Col. Oscar Miles and others witnessed the statement at Fort Smith. The woman was suffering from great mental agony at the time and seems to be almost on the verge of nervous prostration, since her confession today. The story that she tells of the occurrence is enough to cause the optimist to despair and the pessimist to chuckle. Such a tale of wantonness and loose living has never been aired so publicly before and the climax was reached in her recountal of her association with the Negro last December at Helena. She declared that she met the man in a Negro restaurant and demanded money, which he refused to give her. A policeman happened to be coming toward her at the time and she immediately made a complaint to him, saying that the Negro had assaulted her. After seeing him arrested and placed in jail, she started to leave town on foot, but was arrested and kept to testify in the case. She says that she knew all the time that her damaging testimony to the court was false, but that she did not know the penalty was so great after conviction. HAD A BAD RECORD. In addition to being the star witness in the Beard case, she was one of the principals in a case of immorality in Little Rock some time ago, her deserted husband being the complainant. Her first husband was Henry Ludwig, whom she deserted and gave good cause for an absolute divorce on statutory grounds. She married Hartley some time later, but left him and has been known in many parts of the state as having a bad character. While she was in Little Rock last year and the year before, the police knew her as a habitue of the red light district. She was living with a blacksmith by the name of John McAbles at Helena, according to her story, when she became destitute of money and provisions, and committed the offense that has come near sending a Negro to his death on the scaffold. AFFIDAVITS AGAINST HER. The father of her first husband and her two former brothers in law led in testifying to her low character; two policemen followed, the landlady of a boarding house where the first was heard of her low morals by the public, and many others who knew her state in their affidavits that she is morally depraved. At the meeting this morning in the office of Baldy Vinson, who was Beard's at:orney and has been working on the case ever. Ince it came up, many leading citirens and ministers were present to hear the examination of Mrs. Hartley. Those who were present included H. L. Remmell, Max Hieman, W. S. Holt, Captain Tucker, Charles McKee, W. M. Kavanaugh, A. Brizzolara, J. E. Osborne, Jesse Hart, Revs. W. F. Andrews, Ben Cox, R. W. McKay and Dean Robottom and others. The examination continued for more than an hour, until the entire disdraceful affair had been drawn from the nervous and half-distracted woman. After its conclusion several of those present stated the most probable conclusion to be that the woman was even a worse character than she admitted, when the affidavits had been properly considered. They were a unit in wanting the Negro to be given his liberty and released from the death sentence on the criminal assault charge, and the committee appointed to wait on Governor Davis in the morning will present the case strongly in favor of the pardon of Beard, and his resumption of his razor and scissors at his little barber shop at Helena. KANSAS CITY, KAS. The place of meeting of the first annual, ten days Pentecostal Meeting has been changed from Leavenworth to Kansas City, and will be held in a large tent, at Second and Lafayette Avenue, beginning July 19th and ending July 29th. It will be under the auspices of the A. M. E. church, and Bishop Grant and a number of other ministers have been selected to assist in the meeting. An outing was given by the Sunday School Union, Thursday, July 12, and an excursion was run from Kansas City, Kan., to Leavenworth. Nine Sunday Schools were well represented. The visit to the Penecteniary, the Soldiers Home, and the Fort was very interesting. The officials of the various places visited and the officials of the cars said that the crowd taken from Kansas City was the most intelligent and orderly crowd that had been taken on an outing in many years. The cash receipts were $256.65, the expenses were $183.65, and the amount left to be divided among the nine Sunday Schools was $73.10. Six cars were secured for the outing and about seven hundred persons attended. The day was pleasant and God seemed to show a smiling face upon his people, that they might have a pleasant time. The success of this affair causes us to feel that God is pleased with the work of the church and Sunday School, and we hope that spirit of union will continue throughout the Universe. The annual Sermon of the Young Men's Christian Union was held at the A, M. E. church, Sunday afternoon. Although the day was rainy and disagreeable, a large crowd attended the sermon. A reception was given at the Knights of Tabor Hall Wednesday evening, July 11, by Mr. Clayborne and Mr. Gibson for the students of the city at Lincoln Institute. A large crowd of young folks attended and all enjoyed a very pleasant evening. NUMBER 29. Miss Weston Sees Only One Successful Way-She Gives Some Good, Sound Advice. Miss Tillie Weston believes that there is only one way for a woman to manage her home successfully, and that is, by using the same amount of common sense that a man does in his business. Most men know that their business would not last long unless they exercised all the common sense they have. A man does not close up shop every time his business goes wrong, and a woman has not the right to do it. "I feel," said Miss Tillie Weston "that a woman's happiness or dissatisfaction depends on the amount of sense she has and uses in the management of her home. If she uses her best energy in making the home run smoothly, and in giving it an air of wholesome content, the home will show the desire "Now, in the first place, common sense calls for a wise expenditure of money, and many people show that they don't exercise their sense all the time by spending their money so foolishly. It does not take much to make home attractive if we only know how; it should be furnished with the things that are attractive, simple and represent what we enjoy most. "No home that ever was built made its owner happy; for happiness germinates from within. A splendid mansion and beautiful gowns may increase our happiness, but they don't make happiness. Clothes add to a woman, but they don't make her. Wise expenditure is therefore the first principle to be recognized in the founding of a happy home. A woman cannot do this alone, her husband should assist her; he should let her know exactly what they may and may not afford, and together consider the household expenses as carefully as he does his business expenses. "Extravagance and needless extravagance is one of the great evils of the modern home and especially in this country. Women must be taught that the simple may be beautiful by its very simplicity and the elaborate by its very costliness is oftentimes vulgar. An actress who is known for her beautiful gowns was told recently by a friend that her wardrobe must cost a king's ransom. She explained good-naturelly that she selected her frocks for their becomingness and not for their cost. Modern life offers us many advantages and new resource, but it still must teach us the value of simple living." Not be found in homes ruled by the law of common sense. "In short, to have a successful home we must have plenty of joy and simple living. Nature, with all her splendor in form and color, given added pleasure through her simplicity. Nature is not wasteful and extravagant; she makes a point to conserve energy." Says Miss Tillie Weston: "The home is a great social force—it is a medium civilization affords us to enjoy the best, or what we consider the best. The big world belongs to us all, but it is our privilege to put in our homes the things we enjoy most—they characterize us and reveal our individuality. The home gives us an opportunity to enjoy the society of our friends more than does any other social institution; the English know this, for when they want to pay some one a great CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 LOCAL NEWS.

That is why there is so much lynching. This woman, who calls herself Mrs. Armstrong, acknowledged that she left her house and her children between eleven and twelve o'clock and went one block and a half from her home looking for some colored man to insult her and when she could not find any one that would insult her she came across Willie Crews, who was standing on the corner waiting for a street car, and when she walked up behind him and stopped naturally he looked to see who it was, and seeing it was a woman he said howdy in a polite manner. As he did not insult her she called Bill Neff (the bobtail soldier who is on the police force) to come and arrest him, which he did, and the court fined him, after Mrs. Armstrong had acknowledged that she hunted him up expecting to be insulted but was not insulted. Now, we citizens of Junction City should vote men out of office who will put bobtail soldiers in responsible positions when they have pot even the right to vote and are too poor to own even one foot of ground and will swear anything on a man to get the arrest fee, and then keep what little money that happened to be in his pocket. Judge Pratt and the whole police force have nothing to do but sit and im. nose lines unjustly just to get the money there is in it. Let us all as citizens put our heads together and vote for Christian men, who believe in justice to all mankind regardless to the money there is in the office he holds. It came out in the papers that Crews was arrested for peeping and it was for what is stated, and when the editor was asked to change it he refused. They wanted it that way to make people against him and it was a deliberate he. The warrant read disturbing peace and at the trial it was proven that he was not within a block of her house. You would oblige some of the citizens to own very much by putting the rest on the front of your paper. --- Mrs. H. A.

Thursday of last week as the first side of this "great guide" was about half finished, our large press suddenly went wrong and some of the most important parts were put out of commission. Two machinist and the office force went to work taking the machine apart so that the broken shafts, etc., could be repaired. They worked night and day including Sunday, and Monday noon it was in running order. This accounts for our delay last week. THE annual catalogue of Western University, Quindaro, Kas., is on our table, and is one of the best ever issued by a school of its kind. The faculty is putting forth every effort to make this the most prosperous year in the school's history. The manner in which Joseph B. Bass is conducting his Helena Montana Plaindealer is not only a credit to the black race, but the city and state in which it is published. The paper is bold and fearless in defense of right and a terror to all that is evil. Mr. Bass is every inch a gentleman, and a splendid newspaper man, and in him, the black citizens of the great Northwest will always find a man ever ready to champion their cause against anyone who wants to crush a man simply because he has a black skin. Down in Linn county where they elect a man to do the county printing, we notice that our esteemed friend, Mr. James R. Holmes, the geniel editor of The Pleasanton Enterprise has consented to become a candidates for this position. The writer was born and reared in Linn county, and we know of none more worthy of this office than Mr Holmes. He has been an active Republican all his life—working in and out of season for the party's success, and now that a little pie is about to be passed, we think it just and right that this wee slice be given to Jim. Itinerant news paper men have settled in Linn county just long enough to capture this prize, draw the salary and depart for greener fields, while young men like Mr. Holmes, who were born and raised within the borders of this historic spot were forced to take a back seat. Mr. Holmes lives in the county, a taxpayer and is rearing a family in a place that will always be his home, and we believe that the Republicans will nominate him. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. The seventh annual session of the National Negro Business League is to be held at Atlanta, Ga., Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 29, 30 and 31. The Atlanta Negro Business League is well organized and is at work maturing plans for the proper entertainment of the hundreds of visitors expected. Reduced rates of one and one third fare have already been secured from the South Eastern Passenger, the Trunk Line and the New England Passenger Associations. Only one or two lines to the far west are yet to concur in the arrangement. The program promises to be, as all of the League programs are, devoted to an intelligent discussion of those features of business development wherin the Negro people of the country are making progress. The governor of the state of Georgia, the Mayor of the city of Atlanta and the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce joined in the invitation asking that this session of the League be held in Atlanta, and everything will be done to make the visit of all who attend pleasant and satisfactory. Information with regard to reduced rates may be secured from C. F. Adams, Transportation Agent, 934 S St. N. W., Washington, D. C., or with regard to other matters connected with the coming meeting from the president, Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee University, Ala. JOPLIN, MO. Master James L. Washington, a boy of 18, who is known as "The Boy Prodigy," was here last week. He is truly a wonder as he has been in the work since he was five years of age. He was born in Little Rock, Arks., his mother dieing when he was one year and one month old and his father losing his sight shortly after. He has been holding revivals all over the U. S. He never attended school in his life or had private instruction, yet uses the best of language. When four years of age the boy picked up a book written by Talmage and began to read the contents. From that time on he could read anything. At 5 years of age he joined the church and began to preach. Tuesday night he lectured at Unity Baptist church upon the "Foot" and recited passages of Scripture from memory. He also had a poem on "Color." Wednesday he lectured at the A. M. E church on, "Run, Speak to that Young Man," Poetry, "A Womans' Lecture." On Thursday they went to Pittsburg. Friday he preached on "Warming by eDvil's Fire." He wrll return in August to hold a tent meeting. Rev. Duncan made a flying trip to Pittsburg, Kas. Mrs. E. Hughes went to Parsons last week, Miss Alice Hobson was in the city last week, shopping. The Baptist Sunday School gave a lawn social at Mrs C. H. Knaves. Quite a number were present and the affair was voted a success. Mrs. T. Bland arrived here from Granby this week. POETRY Walnuts for Fowls. Every year thousands of bushels of walnuts go to waste all over the country, and few farmers think of their value for poultry food. For years we have been gathering the walnuts and storing them in some shed or outhouse, and we consider every bushel of them worth fully as much as a bushel of oats. It is not necessary to remove the hulls, but do not store them more than a few inches deep, as they may heat and rot. A 10x18 space will hold a big wagon load safely. Who real cold weather sets in we hash in a bushelful with an old am and feed them to the laying hens. The great amount of oil contained in the kernels will do more to help keep up animal heat than almost any other foodstuff we can produce, and we have never had disease in our flocks when we have walnuts as part of the winter ration. With eggs at present prices, and high prices during the past year, we may look to see them sell high all though the coming winter, and should do all within our power to make our hens lag.

If so, it will interest you to know that it can be stopped with Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills; and without any bad after-effects, and this without danger of forming a drug habit or having your stomach disarranged. They positively contain no opium, morphine, cocaine, chloral, ether or chloroform in any form. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain, and leave only a sense of relief. The reason for this is explained by the fact that headache comes from tired, irritable, turbulent, over-taxed brain nerves. Anti-Pain Pills soothe and strengthen these nerves, thus removing the cause. They are harmless when taken as directed. "We use Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills for the cure of headache, and we think that there is nothing that will equal them. They will cure the severeest spell of nervous or sick headache in a very few minutes. I am of a nervous temperament, and occasionally have spells when my nerves seem to be completely exhausted, and I tremble so I can scarcely contain myself. At these times I always take the Anti-Pain Pills, and in a right way, it is remarkable what a nothing effect they hate upon the nerves." MRS. F. E. KAIL, Detroit, Mich.

Lucas, Sheriff of Shawnee County, Kansas. By J. A. Ostrand, Deputy W. S. McClintock, Attorney. First Pub. June 15th KEEPING CREAM WITHOUT ICE. "For two years," says a practical diyymm, "I have kept the cream from ten cows in first class condition without ice. In the corner of my house cellar, near the drain outlet, I built a plattform about 3 feet high and 3 feet square. I marked to the sides buildup sinks so as to bring to the ground. On the platform I placed a half barrel with both heads in. In the cop head I bored a hole to take in a hose pipe, which I ran to a pull in the sink where we pump water from the well, and fill the half barrel with water. I place the cream cans under the plattform and by several small gunkt holes let the water only to the top of the cans. This forms a cold storage chamber, and I think it is equal to the tank of water with ice in it to keep the cream. I cream gatherers say my them has been in as good order as the lost." Lest you cows and sell the unimportant ones. Recently Professor Lif, of the agricultural college, concluded tests at a year of the college cows and found that one cow charged $1. cents per pound for her butter while another charged 21 cents per pound. The other cows ranged between these figures. He also found that by selling half the head he could make a hand-one profit whilst it kept them all he could not make one cent. Thousands of cows are now being milked in this country that are in a dead loss to their owners. So correct this condition the farmer should weigh the milk from each cow daily and make a test for butter fat about once every seven weeks. He should ventilate light on and choose his stable, and keep the cows comfortable all the time. He should study the principles of salting feeding and balances his feeds into the best milk producing ration, and he shall get a good, pure bred dairy cattle and raise them his helpers into good milk cows. Questions come to this office as to how best to send cream samples for of most test. Great care should be exercised in taking the samples. The cream should be thoroughly mixed by pouring from one can to another at least four times. Then fill the sample bottle entirely full, cool tightly and place in a mailing case and address to Prof Oscar Dif, State Agricultural College, Manhattan, Kan. The test will be made free of charge, and the results reported. Be sure to cool or seal the sample bottle tightly to avoid evaporation, and fill it full to avoid churning of the sample. Don't oppose your dreamery if it is endeavoring to disminute against inferior cream. The butter market has recently been flooded with inferior products that could not be disposed of at any price. The leading creameries have all decided that they must no longer pay as much for poor cream as for good cream. This is what they have been doing in the past, and to the detriment of both themselves and the dairymen, but particularly to the detriment of the dairymen. It is to your own interest to deliver No.1 cream. Get busy. During the summer drioths it is important that the cows be kept on full flow of milk. This can be done by feeding new hay with the grain ration or by feeding soiling crops such as green corn, sorghum, Kafir corn, or alfalfa. The best combination of dry weather feeds is made by mixing a grain ration of one put corn, one put cuts, and one eighth put oil meal, and feed with plenty of alfalfa. Another ration may be made by mixing one put corn, one put batches, and one put bean, and feed with alfalfa. We often very heavy investment of capital and the keen competition which exists between creatures, the farmer I do not fear desmenit; treatment at their hands. They have too much at risk to risk the penny wise and pound the policy of present gain against future business. If other crops fail, you can still raise a feed. You draw your dividend on it now every night and morning. The wheat lots in the field and the corn thats always in the field. The hay does from the chickens and the beef trust squeezes it profit out of the stores, but the old quintessentially plains-always faithful always doing a big share to make the farm. Ignorant showing the comparative profits to be causing and dairy farming are difficult to obtain, but there seems to be no doubt that dairy farming is much the more profitable. On the up land that will grow good grass, beef production can be made to return a good profit on the capital and labor invested, but on large pieces and the dairy is the thing. Driving is by for the most profitable branch of agriculture, but, like other professions, it requires special training and special methods. Running milk through a duty separator is similar to running it through a duty strainer, with all of the fifth of the previous milking left in it from twelve to twenty-four hours. The millions of unleavable bacteria from the dat, manure and slime lodged in the separator bowl spill all the milk, to a greater or lesser degree, that passes through the machine. Many people have been lead to believe that milk relatively poor in butter fat is as good for the manufacture of cheese as is that which tests 4 per cent or so. This is a mistake. The fact is that the amount of cheese to be made from a certain quantity of milk depends in a large measure on the richness of the milk in butter fat. Clean the udder with a mild cireoln solution of about a teaspoonful of the cireoln and a bucket of water. Then cut off the varts with common scissors or knife and touch the roots with a perl of silver nitrate. The only treatment needed after this is that of keeping the udder and teats softened with lard. HOUSE FLIES AND TUBERCULOSIS. The prevalence of that summer pest, the mouse fly, prompts us to repaint a paragraph from a high authority in medical journalism: "The recent stress which has been laid on alimentary infection in tuberculosis should lead to a more careful consideration of the means by which tubercle bacilli may reach the alimentary canal. The recent studies of Loud show that the吸附 fly may play an important part in alimentary transmission. The bacillus not only pass the alimentary canal of the fly unchanged, but undergo a marked proliferation there. Fly spikes may contain as many as 50,000 bacillus, and according to Lord's computations, thirty infected flies may deposit within three days from 60,000,000 to 100,000 tubercle bacilli. The danger does not seem to be from the liberation of bacilli in the air, but from the deposition of the fly spikes on food. That this can and does occur under certain circumstances was alldudely demonstrated by our experience with typoid fever during the Spanish-American war. We should be in mind the possibility of infection by the fly, and be much more strict than we are in the deposition of sputum and in the protection of food-stuffs, and this refers particularly to the summer months." HUMAN AND BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS. The question of immun and bovine tuberculosis is being continually studied both in this country and in Europe. One of the latest reports on this matter is that mounting from the German imperial malthouse. This should receive a great deal of credence, as that office does not issue reports except upon good foundation. During the extensive studies carried on under the auspices of this office the conclusion was reached that there are two distinct types of tubercle bacillus, the bovine and the human. This does not mean, however, that the bovine type is confined just to cattle, and that the human type is confined simply to human beings. Tuberculosis in cattle is to be traced exclusively to infection with the bovine tubercle bacillus. This apparently means that cattle can not take consumption from human beings. Swine, says this report, are susceptible to both forms. The further statement is made that tuberculosis may be produced in man by bovine tubercle bacillus and that the disease may be transmitted to human beings by food derived from tuberculous animals especially by cow's milk. If we interpret this report right, cattle are in danger only from bovine tuberculosis, while man is in danger from both kinds. The very great increase of tuberculosis among our cattle and hogs indicates the necessity for greater precautions against the appearance of this disease. Milk and its products seem to be the most effective means for conveying the disease to man from cows. If meat products are tuberculous, the application of heat in cooking them renders them harmless, and this is what generally occurs. But in the case of milk and butterfat, it is different. They are almost always used cold or are not heated enough to dispose of the spores of the disease germs. Pasteurization of milk will help some; but few people will take the trouble to pasteurize. The only really effective way to check the spread of the disease is to establish a severe system of inspection. -Standard Guide. AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES. What the agricultural college of today needs, what the young men of the country need, is to be inspired with the nobleness of the vacation of farming with its possibilities when conducted along skillful lines. What the people of the state need to learn is that agricultural education is a practical success; that it has passed the experimental stage and is now on a firmly established basis. The people of the state also need to learn that agricultural education is expensive, that many of the failures in the past have been due to wrong impressions of what an education suitable for the manner should be, and to the state sum added out to those in charge of education and research work. No other type of education properly given calls for more elaborate equipment and more expensive apparatus than that of agriculture. Generous financial support and a helping hand are the chief needs of the future. In state's most permanent printable investment will follow when thousands of young men are educated to become the leaders in agricultural practice. There are two crops raised on a farm those utilized for the maintenance of the human race due to age and indulgence; and the crop of boys and girls. Much thought and labor has been expended on the raising of the format, and still only a little has been achieved; but in the stile to establish dominion over vast areas of primal territory, the time education of the crop of boys and girls has sometimes been overlooked. Shall this be end of the future, or will the marvelous progress of the United States along all lines be marked by the education of a class of farmers superior in skill and intelligence to any the world has ever seen? Surely this is a communion devoutly to be hoped for, for in its frumification lies the establishment and maintenance of the supremacy of the United States, along both agricultural and industrial lines, for one can not succeed without the other.—Andrew Soule. RAISING A DAIRY CALE. I believe grain can never be fed to better advantage and with greater profit than to the young stock on the farm, from weaning time until grass becomes good the following spring. Not that calves should be given all the grain they can eat right through, but a reasonable amount is very beneficial while they are getting a start. When the calf is running with the cow, I would commence feeding grain just before weaning, and with the hand raised calf it has already commenced and should not be discontinued until it is a year old, and on good, substantial pasture. If a calf is fed a little more than half of what it will eat up clean of oats and corn and given good clover hay, plenty of salt and pure water and sheltered from the cold, stormy weather, the animal will pay for it all and leave good profit to the owner. While the cell is being grown, not fattered, one should be taken in feeding food in quantities that will come just a little short of satisfying the appetite as a rule, the spirit of dutyman is a very ambitious individual, proud to raise anything in the line of fine stock, but sometimes his ambitions overcome his judgment and in mistaken kindness to the animal, he feels too heavily of rich and not easily digested foods. He may be conscious of the fact, yet he is likely to take the risk for the sake of out-dressing his neighbor in passing something good. The result is that the animal becomes stunted and is almost worthless. Feed such as steers or other fattening stock get, is not what the dairy calf should have. It is fattening food, and the result is that the calf becomes excessively fat without sufficient muscular or bony development. If a farmer treats all his calves alike, steers and calfers, and gives them practically full food, it is useless for him to expect profitable dairy cows out of them—W. Stenson. SOME FOWL OMENS. In our study of folklore, superstitions, and omens, we find that the laying of eggs and the actions and doings of lions and tigers have always been looked upon by the superstitions of all nations as "some signs" of a number of good as well as bad things. Below we note a few of the principal omens and superstitions. You are not lucky if your hen does double duty, for when a hen lays an egg with a double yolk, some of your tattlies will do. It is unlucky to bring in eggs after dusk. If your hen lays a soft-shelled egg do not keep it, throw it over the house and thus throw away your back luck. To break an egg when taking it from the nest is a sign of some unpleasant event near by. In Paris they say that if water touches eggs that are set the chicks matched from them will drown. If eggs have been carried over running water they will not hatch. If you want to remain lucky don't sell eggs after sunset. In Madagascar the natives think that whoever steals an egg will become a leper. Eggs lable during the twelve days after Christmas should be carefully preserved, for if placed under a sitting hen they will produce beautiful, large, fat chickens. If you put eggs under a hen when the wind is in the east, it will take two more days than usual for the eggs to hatch.

Then tenth egg laid by a hen will be the largest laid by her during the year. It is unlikely to put eggs under a sitting hen before sundown, for if you do, some of the chicks will be blind, so say the Arabs. Your hen will cease to lay if you burn the eggs-hills. If you set hens to hatch on St. Valentine's day, the eggs will not. Set hens to hatch while people are coming out of church and you will have plenty of chickens. To see a hen in the act of laying babies good luck. Here's one from Jerusalem: By tying an old tough hen to a fig tree, she will become tender. It is bad luck to kill a chicken and have it die in your hands. Fortune will come to the housewife if the blood of chickens are all roosters. It on a rainy, gloomy day, chickens try to fly on to fences and sit on wagons, it is a sign that the next day will be fair. Now comes a pointer for lovers. It chickens are disturbed at night and fly down and strike the house when two lovers are counting, it binds trouble between them. The natives in Africa have an easy way to detect crime, for if a man is accused of stealing a chicken, they kill a chicken, nad if the entrails be white, the man is considered innocent; if yellow, guilty.

VALUE OF COWPEAS There is often trouble in getting and keeping a stand of alfalfa on upland soils in Oklahoma, says the Oklahoma Farm Journal. Many have tried alfalfa faithfully, and have given it up. Careful farmers are feeling the need of some crop like clover to work into a rotation, both for the feed that it yields and the benefit to the soil which comes from growing it. There has recently been much interest in the cowpea crop for this purpose. A large acreage was planted last season. The good yield secured and the fine results that have come from feeding the cowpea hay has continued many doubters that this is a paying crop. We want to see this crop developed until every acre of land that is farmed in Oklahoma has a crop of cowpeas grown on it at least once in every three years. When we do that then we will be farming right. The following characteristics of the cowpea give to the crop such a value that no Oklahoma farmer can afford to leave it out of the list of crops which he grows: First, the cowpea belongs to that very important and valuable order or group of plants which, through certain provisions of nature, draw more or less indirectly upon the free nitrogen of the air for the larger part of their supply of this important and indispensable plant food, nitrogen. As four-fifths of the air is composed of nitrogen, this gives the cowpea and plants of the same kind access to an inexhaustible supply of this element that is so commonly lacking in many soils in sufficient amounts to produce good, vigorous growth of plants. Plants not belonging to this order to which cowpeas belong can not draw upon the free nitrogen of the air in any way, but have to depend for their supply of this essential element in plant growth upon the amount found in the soil in various combinations, and where very frequently it is lacking in sufficient amount or available forms. It is evident that such a crop leaves the soil with less nitrogen in than it contained before the crop was produced and removed. On the other hand, when any of the pepa beans, clovers, alfalfa, vitis or, in fact, any of the legumes (a common name given to all plants of this order) are grown on a field, the soil is left richer in nitrogen after the crop has been grown there than it was before. This is commonly expressed by saying that the cowpea and other legumes are soil builders because they add nitrogen to the soil. In growing cowpeas or any of the legumes, the soil must be borne in mind that for the plant to fully accomplish the above important results, the soil must be in proper with and contain the other essential plant foods in sufficient amounts, and possess no detrimental properties that will retard the growth of bacteria which cause the nodules to form on the roots of the cowpeas and transform the free nitrogen then from the air in the soil so that the cowpea can utilize it in its growth. If, this is not the case, the cowpea on any of the plants belonging to the order may make a very minor growth and add but little or nothing to the soil. On a very poor or depleted soil a large yield of cowpeas should not be expected at first, or of the crops that follow them, as it takes time to build up such a soil by cropping, but usually it must be done in this way and is the most economical method. In this connection the important point should be kept in mind that, by properly using the cowpea in a rotation of crops, it is possible to fully maintain the amount of nitrogen in the virgin soil and extend its original fertility greatly with comparative ease, and practically no cost. The second characteristic of the cowpea that makes it a valuable crop for Oklahoma is its high feeding value, as it is quite rich in the important and costly food nutrient, protein, containing much of this ingredient than most of our common farm crops. The hay is richer in protein than red clover by about four pounds in the hundred, and hicks but a title of being as thin as alfalfa in this important food constituent. The grain is richer in protein than many of the costly by-products that are often puch used by the farmer to supply protein. Cowpea is added to the usual ration fed by the Oklahoma farmer will greatly increase its productivity and lessen its cost. Both the forage and grain are eaten by all kinds of stock. Cattle, sheep and houses are fond of this crop in any form. Hogs getting nothing but corn will eat some of the hay and will do much better than when they are fed corn alone. When hogs have access to other kinds of green feed, they do not eat the vines very readily, and when turned into a good sized piten they root up the plants and eat nothing much but the roots. If there is not plenty of green feed to spare they should be turned on but a small pitch of cowpeas every day by means of handles. When so handled, they will eat all the vines. Hogs are very fond of the pods and grain in them. Thirdly, the crop may be planted during four months of the crop season with almost universal success as it is a vigorous, quick growing crop and produces well. Being a hot weather plant it is especially well adapted for summer planting as a catch crop following wheat, oats, and other early crops. In a fairly early season, two crops of cowpeas can be grown on the same land in one season. In the fourth place, cowpeas are one of our best drought resisting crops, and drought saldom cuts the yield below a profitable point. The grain crop may be a practical failure due to a severe and prolonged drought but no season has been so dry in Oklahoma but what during some portion of it, there was enough moisture to grow a fair crop of cowpeas. While mentioned last it is not the least important characterisle of cowpeas that they are seldom subject to the images of insects or plant diseases while growing and they are entirely proof against the ever present cmuch bug.

The largest capon weighted 10 pounds and 10 ounces, and the average of the 130 was 8 1/4 pounds apiece. The lot of cockerels was hatched mostly in April, a dozen or so of them were hatched the last of March and a few the first of May as they were marketed between the 20th and 25th of November they were but seven to seven and a half months old when marketed, and paid the grower 92 to 94 cents profit each. They were grown entirely by the dry feeding method; the food being one quarter whole oats, three eighths each corn and wheat, and beef scrap before them all the time. They were given about an acre of field to sow over tall about a month before marketing, when they were pinned up in a modest yard. My friend said these cockerels (myapon-tool) were just no trouble at all—he kept the food hoppers supplied with the foods and they did the rest. He told us that those named Rock cockerels weighed two pounds apiece when eight weeks old, grown on all dry feed, and that they were big, braid backed, "husky" fellows, and telt solid when lifted. On our way to the station at London town we turned in at the driveway of the man who buys up the fine dressed poultry of that section and ships it to New York and Boston. He was just buying a lot of about sixty splendid capons, which averaged to weigh nine pounds apiece, and he paid 20 cents a pound for them. They were a good lot, well fatted, and the farmer told us they paid him about $1 apiece profit—from 100 cents to $1 apiece. Quite a difference between these and the overgrown "old roosters" that had "taken their heads off"—V. I Hunter, in Poultry Advocate.

Problably the most important part of the farming operations of the average "wheat belt" farmer is the preparation of the seed bed for wheat, and it is at this time that a word on the subject of its preparation should prove most acceptable. There are farmers and farmers. The United States department of agriculture is authority for the statement that there are in the United States some six million farms, consequently we may safely assume that there are at least an equivalent number of farmers, farmers in name or in fact. We have no means whereby we can tell what proportion of the total number of farmers are wheat growers but it is probable that from one-town to one half are so engaged to a greater or less extent. It is to wheat growers in general but to those of the wheat belt most particularly that we address. It is a generally recognized fact that the last seed bed for wheat consists of a thoroughly fined top layer of soil from two to four inches deep underlay by thin earth. Numerous experiments at practically every experiment station, state, national and private, tend to prove the truth of the foregoing state ment. There are some who refuse to abide by the experience of others and go their way regardless of consequences but the wise farmer is one who profits by experience and avoids unnecessary mistakes. And just here it is interesting to note that less than one farmer in a thousand in the United States last year took direct advantage of the scientific training afforded by the agricultural colleges of the various states. But the problem that we are concerned with is the best method of seeing the seed bed we have learned to be best fortunately the preparation of the seed bed in the wheel belt is a comparatively easy matter and it is considerably principally that prevents the soil there being put in an ideal condition for a seed bed. There the soil is light and generally free from weeds, two conditions that go far toward making the preparation for sowing comparatively easy. Given a fairly sufficient amount of moisture the disk harrow is the only tool necessary for stirring the soil for the seed bed. Set the harrow so that it thoroughly pulverizes the soil that attaches and weight it heavily enough to make it cut to the desired depth. The disk harrow leaves the "trash," weeds, stubble, etc., on the surface thus avoiding an open porous condition of the soil that is almost always objectionable—always in a dry season. The disk harrow followed by a drag harrow, lever drag harrow preferred, and a roller will usually put the soil in good condition for sowing. In the disk harrow is used in the preparation of the seed bed the how drill is usually an unsatisfactory implement for the seeding for it will have a tendency to eaten and drag any trash that may be on the soil. In case the soil is too compact or is too soil with weeds to permit of the use of the disk harrow one must use the sturding plow to properly prepare the seed bed. Plowing should be done only so that the soil will naturally compact itself by the process of weathering, else much more work will be required to produce a good seed bed. It is usually regarded as most to plow shallow and not to turn under a large amount of coarse tissue. As stated before when need is a firm foundation in which to imbed its roots and deep plowing provides that a garden likewise a large quantity of time. I have two or three years the soil should be stitched to a considerable depth right in its more is not too deep but to put such plowing in shape to the seedling of what requires considerable effort. If one possesses a good substitute packet the task is not so difficult but such a tool is heavy and much mouse power is needed to use it well. In use a suitable packet is not so only available a tail substitute may be used by setting an ordinary disk harrow straight and weighting it as much as necessary. Continue to go over the field until the soil below is well compacted and the upper two or three inches is final and level. As to the kind of plow to use on peddle goes to show that that one is best that produces the best result, he puts the ground in nearest the ideal state desiried before. Which plow will be appropriate that result will depend upon a number of conditions the chief of which are the kind of soil, its strata as regards in time and the amount of trash to be turned under. In ordinary soil in fair condition we prefer the ordinary mold board starting plow at single or going according to field and term force. For hard, dry soil, go on in a field covered with a coarse dust, we put a disk plow. There is considerable untouched prejudice against the disk plow that we believe will disappear as time of more states its utility. Our experience tends to the heart that the draft of the disk plow is about one third lighter under the ordinary conditions that prevail during the summer season than that at the moll board plow of the same capacity. The conjugated bottom of the furrow is not a disadvantage to the soil and is considered by some as a distinct advantage. This is not an agreement for the disk plow but we take this opportunity to dispense some old prejudices, the lure of most farmers. In conclusion we would say: begin preparation for fall when sowing early; keep at it until you have the seed bed in ideal condition; after accomplishing that maintain it by judicious use of the harrow, either dish or drag or both; then when seeding time comes sow the best seed that you can secure and your likelihood for securing a good yield of wheat the following year will be far in excess of what it would have been had you followed the old "hit or miss" method of the majority.

BOLEY Indian Territory A progressive town. All eyes are upon the Indian Territory. More money is going to be made in the Indian Territory in the next few years than in any section of the country. In no section of the country has the Negro risen with such rapidity to financial imminence. BOLEY The exclusive Negra town of the territory, offers excellent opportunities to location and general resources to Negro farmers, orchardists, stock raisers and investors. The adaptability of the soil to growing all kinds of grain, fruits and truck would make a mill and elevator, also a earning factory paying investments.

"They also select the formal dinner as the best form of entertainment, and usually they make the company the important consideration. They select their company with the greatest care, so as not to have any jar to the joy of the evening. When Ambassador Choate invited Gladstone to dine with him it took three weeks to decide on his guests. "We Americans are just becoming conscious of the value and needs of social life. Entertainment need not be expensive to be enjoyable; their success or failure depends largely on the efforts of the hostess and the appreciation of her friends. There is no better way of getting to know our friends than by the social life to be had in the home. The higher we make our forms of entertainment the more we elevate our homes. "Foreigners have always been alive to this need for recreation; the French got it through the saloon, the English through the country home and the Germans by way of the open-air gardens. American women have expressed this same desire through the clubs; but they can furnish us only with part of our social life, the rest we must seek by means of our homes." "Common sense demands that a woman should be careful with her children's associates. The companions they have influence them in later years. "Although a mother should make every effort to have their childhood as bright and happy as she can, she need not make herself a slave to them. All women need thought and diversion, and they get it in no better way than by a sensible course of study. The club has therefore been womans's greatest blessing. "A sensible woman brings plenty of social life into her home, for company refreshens the atmosphere of a home. But entertaining should always be made a simple affair. Elaborate forms of entertainment are a burden, and therefore will not show common sense." Rolland Todd is in our city shaking hands with old acquaintances. Mrs. Walter Graves and little son are visiting with Mrs. Graves' father, Samuel Russel. Miss Anna Fouts visited over Sunday with her home folks. Rev.Byron and Miss Maud Fouts who were in Leavenworth, returned on Monday of last week. They report a fine District Conference and S. S. convention.

At a late hour delicious refreshments were served, after which the crowd dispersed pronouncing this a grand event.

For a to-date sample, it is a year. The use of Ford's hair formula (OZONIZED OX MARROW) removes and prevents the scalp, or pals, from the person's white, roux and makes it grow with, by rouishing the hair, and it will be rouishing the point after the hair and a long, elegantly perfumed, and a little unmelt, to a loft. For the "Female" OZONIZED OX MARROW has been made to add content to the hair and to add the OX MARROW and late OZONIZED OX. The "Female" line is set to be 100 in that long period of sun, short and never been a business year. It is the same line for the "Female" line, and we have it to be the line of the line. It is made on a stand off with a small line to get it up. You keep it in the line to get it up. So it is the line of the line. If it is a line, we can add it to the line. The "Female" line "FUMICILION" is a line that will be used to add the line to the line. For the "Female" line, it is only 10 or 20. The line is made only in the age and type of goodwill have the she� required. Charging is not a common practice in the case of a whole. Full-digited in the way it is a given only to be held by the drug sales and dealers. If your drug sales or dealer can not supply you to own the product from the line of the whole-scale dealer, it is not as if you can't add the post-all of the line for three times. So for the butcher, you can't add a post-all of the line. Charles Ford Best ed Wibart Ave., Chicago, Ill. Agents wanted everywhere. --- Sr
