THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Life and Labor on the Continent! Historical House State House VOLUME XIII. Dr. Boone T. Washington (Author of "Up From Slavey," "The History of the Negro," etc.) One clear, cold morning, about the first or September, I took a train at Bonar Bridge, in the north of Scotland, south-west bound. There was a cold wind blowing, and Bonar Bridge is about the latitude, as I learned from looking at my atlas, of northern Labrador—farther north, in fact, than I had ever in my lifetime dreamed of going. I spent the next four or five hours looking out of a tear window across the bleak, brown moors, stalking the flocks on sheep and the little thatch rooftops tapped clinging to the lichenous hillsides. I three days later I was in the beautiful mountain region below Dresden, on my way to Prague, the capital of Bohemia. In many ways conditions in the farming regions of Bohemia are quite as primitive as they are among the crafts of northern Scotland. There are, for example, a larger number of small farmers owning their own land in Bohemia than there are in most land, but the situation rather, although he remains a tenant on a small estate, has, at the present time, a more secure position on the soil than the man who rented his land in Bohemia. In other respects the western Highlands, whose country I had just left and the Czech, whose country I was just entering into, I should say, are at his rent as one all well im- Among other things I noticed that the farming people in this part of the world do not have apart, settled about in the open country, as they do in Scotland and it is the case everywhere in America on the contrary, the Bohamian farmers have built together in little villages in the center of the outnumbering hills, from which they go out to the work in the morning and to whil it they turn in the evening. These different manners of settling on the soil are one of the marks by which the people in the north of Europe are distinguished from those in the south. The southern people settl in widely water homesteads, while the southern people invariably land together in little villages, and each individual becomes to a great extent, dependent upon the community and loses himself in the life about him. This accounts, in large measure, for the difference in character of the northern and southern people. In the north the people are more independent; in the south they are more social. The northern people have more initiative to are natural pioneers. The southern people are more delicate, and get on better under the restruits and institutions of city life. It is said, also, that this explains why it is that the people who are now coming to America from the south of Europe, although most of them come from the land, do not go out into the country districts in America, but prefer to live in the cities, or, as seems to be the case with the Italianize the suburbs of the great cities. Another thing that interested me was the sight of women working on the land. I did not gone far on my way south from Berlin because my attention was attracted by the number of women in the fields. As I proceeded southward, the number of these women laborers steadily increased until they equaled and even outnumbered the men. One of these I had an opportunity to see close at hand; she was ours only, but food, and a little take out her shoulde. I had seen pictures of something like that latrine, but a near the real thing. outside of Italy I have rarely seen men going barefoot either in the country or in the city, but in southern Europe it seems to be the custom among the working women, and I took it as an indication of the lower position which women occupy among the people of southern Europe as compared with the position that they occupy in America. I saw many but not women later in the course of my journey, both in the field and elsewhere I encountered, however, I was impressed to meet in Vienna, Austria, as I did on any wild occasion, where I was there, women walking barefoot on the pavements in one of the most fashionable streets of the city. One day, in sparkling to a native Austrian, I expressed my surprise at what I had seen. "Oh, well," he replied. "they are Slovakas." How vividly this reminded me of a parallel remark with which I was familiar, "Oh, well, they are Negroes!" It was the tone of this reply that caught my attention. It emphasized what I soon discovered to be another distinguishing feature of life in southern Europe. Everywhere I went in Austria and Hungary I found the people divided according to the race to which they belonged. There was one race at the top, another at the bottom, and then there were perhaps two or three other races which occupied positions relatively higher or lower in between. In most cases it was some section of the Slavic race, at which there are some five or six different branches in the Austrian lamps, which was at the bottom. Several times, in my efforts, to find out something about these so-called "inferior people," I made inquiries about them among their more successful neighbors. In almost every case, no matter what it happened to be to which I referred, I received the same answer. I was told that they were lazy and would not work; that they had no initiative; that they were immoral and not fitted to govern themselves. At the same time, I found them doing nearly all the really hard, disagreeable, and all pill labor that was being done. Usually I found, also, that with few opportunities than the people around them, they were making progress. I was frequently surprised at the lat- tness between the trees. I have heard people talk more violently, but I do not think I have hurt any one any any thing worse in regard to the Negro than some of the statements that are made by members of one race in Austria in regult to members of some other. I rebel the city of Prague late at night, and awake next morning in a wall that was utterly new to me. It was not that Prague looked so different from other European cities I had seen, but the language sounded more strange than anything else I had ever heard. I do not pretend to understand German, yet it seemed to me that there was something tumultuous and friendly about that language is compared with Czech. The Czechs are but one of the seven countries of Austria Hungary, each one of which, with the exception of the Jews, who are an exception to everything, is seeking to preserve its own language, and, if possible, compel all its neighbors to learn it. Preserving its own language is not difficult in the country districts, where each two lives spent in its own village and mountains its own peculiar customs and traditions. It is more difficult in the large cities, like Vienna and Budapest, where the different nationships come in intimate contact with each other and with the larger European world. There is a region in northeastern Hungary where in the course of a day's ride one may pass through, one utter another villages inhabited by as many as five different races - Ruthenians, lowes, Bismuthians, Hungarians and Germans. Aerial map of the dust impure shows districts in which the bulk of the inhabitants are of one race, dotted with villages in which the fragments of other races still survive, some of them, like the banks, so low in number that they are not separately counted as part of the population. Under these circumstances (travel in this part of the world is made interesting but not easy) Fortunately, I had letters or introductions to Dr. Albert W. Clarke, head of the American branch of the American Board of Missions at Prague, and he introduced me to some of his native assistants who spoke English, and kindly was sent me in hiding what I most desired to see of the city and the people, through him I had an opportunity to get inside of some of the tenements in which European people live, and to see some of the working people in their homes. I did not have an opportunity to explore the poor parts of the city in which the very poor people live; in fact, I was told that there was nothing in Prague that corresponds to the slums of our English and American cities. There is much poverty, but it is poverty of a self-respecting out- not of those who have been defeated and gone under, but of those who have never get up. I found the average Bohemian work- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 22, 1911 for wages considerably less than the same kind of labor would have brought in England, and very much less than the same kind of labor would have brought in America. There is, however, very little use in comparing the wages that men earn unless you are able to compare all the surrounding conditions. During my stay in Prague I had an opportunity to see something close at hand of the life of the farming population. Under the guidance of one of Dr. Clarke's assistants I drove out one day to a little village where there were a number of people who had come under the influence of the American Mission in Prague, and where I was assured I should find a welcome. It was not, perhaps, the best place to get an idea of what is most characteristic in Bohemian country life. I had hoped to see something of the local customs of the country people; but, though it was a holiday when I made my visit, I did not see a single peasant costume. There are still many places in Bohemia, I understand, where the people take pride in wearing the national costumes, and there are still many parts of the Austrian Empire where ideas of the older civilization linger. Indeed, I heard of places where, it is said, the peasants are still paying the old feudal dues; in other places the old unfree condition of the peasants is still continued in the form of peonage, as it may still be sometimes found in our Southern States. In this case the peasants have got themselves into debt for land. They are not allowed to work off this debt, and this serves as a pretenso for keeping them bound to the soil. But education and the growth of manufacturing industries have finished the traces of the older civilization from the greater part in Bohemia. In the village which I visited, as in most of the farming villages in this part of the world, the houses of the farmers stand in a now quite close together on either side of the street. In the rear are the quinters of the servants, the storehouses and the stables, the pigs and the cow-stalls, all closely connected, so that it was often a little unfit to me where the quinters for the servants left off and those for the animals began. In fact, in some places no very definite distinction was made. One of the most interesting places that I visited during my stay in this village was a dairy farm which was conducted by a slave. He was evidently one of those on the lower or middle class a type one hour much of in Europe who with very little knowledge or skill in the actual work of agriculture, have worked by them superior business skill in getting possession of the land, and to doing the praetor to a position not much better than that of a slave. This man not only kept a dairy farm, but he operated two in three bank yards besides, and had other extensive business interests in the village. Although he was a man of wealth and intelligence, he had his dwelling in the mid-4 of a compound around which were grouped houses for his livestock, cow stalls, a wheelwright and blacksmith shop, places for pigs, chickens, and dogs, the whole in a condition of indescribable disorder and filth. the greater part of the work on the farm seemed to be done by women, most of whom were hard-toed or wore wooden shoes. I do not think I had seen any one wearing wooden shoes before since the days of slavery. They had remained in my mind as the symbol of poverty and deprivation; but they are worn everywhere in country districts in Europe. In fact, I remember in one instance, when I visited an agricultural school, finding one of the teachers working in the garden wearing wooden shoes. The people who worked on this farm all lived, as far as I could see, in one little all smiling and laughing room. There was no sign in the homes which I visited of those household industries for which Hungarian presents are noted, and which should help to brighten and make comfortable the simpleest home. I believe there are few plantations in our Southern States where, even in the small one town colonies one would not find the colored people living in more real comfort and more chanbness than was the one here. Even in the poorest Negro cabins in the South I have found evidences that the floor was sometimes磐硬, and usually there was a white counterpane on the back or some evidence of an effort to be truly. Prague is one of the most ancient cities in Europe. A thing that impressed me with the uniqueness of the town was the fact that before the beginning of the Christian era there was a Jewish quarter in the city. Prague is also one of the most modern cities in Europe. Within a comparatively few towns large manufacturing plants have multiplied through- out the country. Bohemia makes, among other things, fezzes, and sells them to Turkey; raises beans, and ships them to Boston. What is most interesting is the fact that this progress has been, to a very large extent, made possible through the education of the masses of the people. The Bohemians are to day among the best educated people in Europe. For example, among the immigrants who come from Europe to America, 242 per cent over fourteen years of age are unable to read and write. In the case of the terman immigrant not more than 6.8 per cent are unable to read or write. In the case of the Bohemians this percentage is only 3 per cent. There is only one class of immigrants among whom the percentage of illiteracy is lower. Among the Danish immigrants it is 0.8 per cent. From Far off ManNia. Tuao, Cagiyan, April 24, 1911. Mr. Nick Chiles, My Dear Friend: We are almost ashamed to enclose our subscription, as we have delayed so long and your little paper has come so regularly. However, we are enclosing herewith the sum of $100 (five dollars), which we hope will pay up back subscriptions and something in advance. It was very kind of you to continue sending the Plaindealer, though not hearing anything from me. We are always glad to get your little paper. We know it will have a word of encouragement for those struggling upwards. It is also encouraging to note the sad you are making these past Wells in the interest of the soil and to calls a little piece of verse I left in your other some yours ago, but, if I remember correctly, was never published: "Return Black Man, to God" Return to God. He's in the soil. He looks a winning to thee. Go—in his bosom safely to thee. He's not a Navier to thee. Park, back to God, the Little Sol Where from is just the given. There from as he hind can take one blessing, lost its given. Return to God! A scouting tool Awarts for him refusing. Row down! Imagine the faithful soil—no soil is left the choosing. Return to tool! There in the soil obtain what man denies thee. There's not a power on earth to trot can stay his justice from thee. The Sol! the Sol! Black man, thy God! shouldn't wound but fat, return thee. And in his best obtain sweet rest, let tool, the Sol, preserve thee. The More I mind of your and other's appeals to go back to the soil, the more I travel, the more experience I get, the more I learn of this great big world, the more I am convinced that not only the salvation of the Black Race, but the salvation of any race lies in its devotion to the resources of the soil. But the ex-slaves been given 160 acres or land and been forced to remain upon it for a number of years, there would have been no Negro Problem today. And so today, by encouraging the masses, congratulated about the cities, to take up land and enter the industries, you are doing much toward the solution of the so-called Race Problem; but that alone will not solve it as it exists today. We have just read a very timely and thoughtful article written by Mr. M.ville E. Stone, on "Race Prejudice in the air East", which is a true picture of the relations between the races and a colon twining to the whites. I have been in th. Orient eleven years, but am not an expert on any subject pertaining to it, but I honestly believe, from what I have seen and read, that Mr. Stone has struck the keynote of the great dissatisfaction over showing the East, and the cause of trouble he sees knowing. Pinnacle is the most dangerous pack- age that has been hankled out in the last. China, Japan, Africa and the Philippines all know what the colored America have suffered and all have wounds caused by the same cruel thirst, which, if not hooded, will cause a mora too grave to be hallowed by the wisdom of the so-called superior race. I have seen with my own eyes the last blood on the Orient instilled and their feelings trampled beneath the feet of some solitary white, who had nothing to show for his superiority other than the color of his skin. I have heard groans and unjust, unpathetic stories told of our men following the flag, against their school brothers, whose record the world does not question. Stories toll to the browns to alienate them from the blacks, and the same stories coming from the mouths of the whites created suspicion among the orientals that still exists. Nothing has been more negative to the permanent rule of America in the Orient than the predominance of Race Prejudice. If the same people of the white race are in earnest and are taking up a fight against this insane theory of race predomination, then they will meet more favorable reception in all countries of color and stand a fair chance to lead all other countries in influence and power, as the American seems to be the favorite and is much praised for thrift and fairness. If they do not check the spread of prejudice, as others have warned, there will be a day of reckoning for all the dark races of the world have been deeply wounded and the American black can at least feel consoled that he is not alone in his guarded sufferings within. For the good of all, the ferocious, insane brute that cannot ride in a street car, eat in a restaurant or walk on the same side of the street as a person of color happens to be, should be caged or given departments in travel and watched close enough in his wanderings to be kept from doing harm, the same as other ferocious beasts or insane persons are cared for. The world has had enough to do with this class of beings. We hope your little paper will continue to fight for fair play and all for which our great constitution stands for, "Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness," regardless of race of color. Light against the dangers of curiously enforcing the law because it has to do with a dark race on one side or string only enforcing it on the other side for the same reason. No government can remain safe from anarchy or rebellion with laws interpuncted or enforced in this manner, and no country can have faith in a country that tolerates these conditions. The decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States regarding the rights of Negroes in the several states are being as closely watched by all the colored world as by the little handful of patriotic black Americans who are trying to get fair play, and the effect of the decisions will be for reaching. Rigards to all friends. Tyson Again Head of Oklahoma Pythians. The fourth annual session of the Knights of Pythag grand lodge for Oklahoma and jurisdiction was held at Eufala, July 10 to 13. Never in the history of Oklahoma has no much interest been manifested in a gathering as was shown at this meeting. Delegates and visitors to the number of one thousand poured in from every nook and corner of the state and Eufala did herself J. DR TYSON proud in entertaining and caring for them. Hospitality reigned supreme and for three whole days theseenthustrae "brave men" owned one of the best cities in the whole state The eyes of the entire state were directed toward Efsala and every set of the fatherhood viewed with deep interest on account of the fight for Grand Chancellor. It was circulated throughout the state that Dr A. H. Tyron, the present in cumbent, would not succeed himself. Thus spread the news of a disgruntled few, but the good safe round conservative men were in NUMBER 28 control and once confronted with all the good sound business judgment not a soul could be found in this vast body who would oppose Dr. Tysen, and as THE PLAINDEALER predicted long before this memorable gathering, Dr. Harrison was re-elected by acclamation. A song composed by Mrs. A. U. Tysen, entitled "1900 and New," a beautiful ballard, portraying the history of the organization, was an interesting feature of the grand lodge, and shows much literary taste and ability.

Handy Little Homemade Instrument That Baves Trouble. One of the most simple and effective barbed wire stretchers may be made from an ordinary wood lever about three feet long. At about eight inches from one end a small iron plate is fastened to one edge of the lever, says the Orange Judd Farmer. This has a slot into which the wire just alips. A notch is also cut in the AVOIDS ALL CUT FINGERS lever at that point. The method of using is clearly shown in illustration, and as the lever is drawn around the post the wire can be brought up tightly for stapling with slight effort. Always Have Planty of Herbs. No garden can be considered complete that does not include a goodly variety of herbs, for nothing can quite fill their place in the household. The seeds of annual sorts should be grown early, but the perennial varieties (and many of the best are that) the seeds sown in mid-summer will produce strong plants that may be freely cut from the following year. Make the soil rich, inflow and fine before sowing the seed. When the soil ing plants are large enough they may be transplanted to the border beds, or the fence row, where they can grow undisturbed year after year. The leaves should be cut when fully grown and before the plant blooms, choosing a clear dry dry for the work Spread in a cool shady room to dry, as drying in the sun or by the fire spolls both color and flavor. The most successful dairyman at the present time is the one who reads and keeps abreast with the most modern methods. Information by word of mouth is too slow, and any one following the ways of his ancestors in dairying will be distanced in the chase. The dairyman who reads gets out of the ruts; he uses better ores and as a result has ows that will make nearly double the butter; he also feeds more intelligently, and the sanitary conditions about his premises are better. If money is to be made in dairying we must cut loose from the old hackneyed ways—Farm and Stock. This Cow Knew Finance Cow—Oh, but I ve a thirst. Wish I to a graduate instead of a farmer. Rooster—Why so? Cow—Cause they never forget so well for the stock. Judge An Absolute Cinch. It is said that only about thirty days stand between the average city wage earner and starvation. Most farmers could "keep the wolf from the door" quite a bit longer than that Dairy Doings. What do you do when you discover a leak in the milk jug? Step it, of course. But do you ever think about stopping the leak caused by your cow? The latter leak is the bigger of the two. So milked that she does not enjoy the operation will gradually retire from the business of giving milk. Do not milk her in a cold wind, or a hot stable, not where files torture her, but in a muddy barnyard. A cow will do much better if always cared for and milked by the same person. Cows do not like strangers, so when your visiting friend offers to help milk say, "No!" or not quite so much milk as usual will be the result. fering to stock ply falls or leaks be taken ply of jam it is more will the Button obtained heat, draw salt, jam washed La funnies mental state to butterfly a larger su equal in f to lean to sold protein To make one is curdled by and left undisturbed for a hour it is then heated after standing quiet for a hour the clear whey is dripped on the curd and the latter is placed in draining rack, which is covered with cheese cloth.

I. AMMON Amy for I. A. Lincoln Institute Jefferson City, Mo. Summer School Farm and Garden GROSBEAK IS OUR FRIEND. Much Maligned Little Bird Is Active Enemy of Destructive Insects. The grosbeak is a very much maligned bird and instead of being destructive to crops he is, on the contrary, of great benefit, according to farmers' bulletin 456, just issued by Secretary Wilson. The bulletin states that seven kinds of finches, commonly known as the grosbeak, summer within our boundaries. A majority of these are good friends of the farmer and deserve to be widely known in order that their services may be appreciated. The grosbeaks are easily distinguished from other finches by their stout form, bright plumage, massive bills and melodious voices. They live largely in agricultural regions and secure most of their food about cultivated lands. They perform invaluable service in destroying many of our worst insect pests. : The rose breasted species is a great destroyer of the potato bug. He breeds over Kansas and the mountains of Tennessee. The investigations of the department show that the bird is fond of green peas, but invariably consumes enough injurious insects to more than offset the damage. He has become famous for his preying on the Colorado potato beetle, and no less than one tenth of the total food it consumes has been proved to be the potato beetle. It attacks the cucumber beetle. It has proved an active enemy of the Rocky mountain locust during that insect's ruptious invasions, and among the other est it consumes are the spring and fall caterpillars, orchard and forest tent caterpillars, tussock, grypsy and brown tail moths, plum curts, army worm and chin bug. In fact, it attacks the worst cannles of agriculture. The cardinal or redbird species ranges from southern Mexico, Lower California and Arizona north to Iowa and Oklahoma and cost to the Atlantic coast. They are permanent residents, spending the summer and winter in the same locality. It has been claimed that they pull sprouting grain, but no evidence of damage to either grain or other crops is shown from over 50 exhalations (on the contrary, they do much good. They feed on houses, perilous cliffs, the Columbia potter leeches, the toad clawer, otten worm. ```markdown ``` INSECT DESTROYERS GUARANTEED BY UNCLE BAM. plum or cherry scale, the zebra caterpillar of the cabbage, the cucumber beetles, billbugs, locust flea beetle, corn ear worm, cotton cutworm, southern fig cater, codling moth and boil weevil and, in addition, are great consumers of injurious weed seeds. The black headed grosbeak halls from southern Mexico and invades North Dakota and Nebraska. It fills the same place in the west that the grosbeak does in the east. It is a foo to the worst pests of horticulture, the scale insect composing a fourth of its food. The blue grosbeak breeds over the southern to thirds of the United States and is greatly destructive to weevils, grasshoppers, locusts, caterpillars and worms. The gray grosbeak inhabits Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. It is a consistent enemy of the ball weevil and cotton worm. It also consumes great quantities of harmful weed seeds. The bulletin in his plan for the protection of the grosbeak says, 'The most investigations prove that the serier of the grosbeak in destroying nest posts are in trouble. Such land is especial attention to certain species which if unchecked would cost or must lose. Flow of our birds is be credited with more good. We fewer birds than this grosbeak, and none more clearly deserves protection as the practical farmer." Grain Speculator Is a Curse. It's the business of the farmer it raise the grain, it's the business of the grain dealer to receive, clean and market the grain it's the business of the miller to grind the grain, and it's the function of the speculator to buy the airships of the farm (p).pb) bushels of grain produced in this country as a speculation, and an farmer, grain dealer, miller, artisan or professional who attempts to reap a livelihood from fluctuating grain prices in a quack speculator, a counterfeit and a curse.-J.

The Business Men's League will meet in Little Rock, Ark, August 14th, '11 We hope some measure will be taken to arouse the Negroes to a sense of their duty as voters. All his rights are vested in the ballot box. He can only succeed so far as the fellow who controls the ballot will allow him and no farther. Our opponents control the judicial, legislative and executive departments in the Southland and feel it their unbounded duty to enact and execute laws against progressive colored people. The league should look into things that will give the colored man the rights to transact business and be protected. Whenever a southern white man wants something a colored man has he takes it, law or no law, and the fellow who executes the law turns a deaf ear when he is called upon to measure justice because the other fellow has made him so from the exclusive use of the ballot. A Worthy Enterprise ELSEWHERE will be found the ad of the Standard Life Insurance company of Atlanta, Ga., capitalized at $100,000, with a surplus of $40,000. All Negroes should get behind this gigantic colored enterprise. We are gratified to recommend this great corporation to the race and ask its hearty support. It is time the race was getting down to business. Life insurance stands for that and nothing else. The white man's companies don't want colored people's risks unless it is for a paltry sum of about $75 to $200, just enough to bury nothing left for the family or those dependent. Quit the white man's insurance and take out policies and stock in one of your own. The Standard is the only life insurance company in the world that is owned and controlled by colored people. Read the ad, write the company, take out stock and policies Don't ask a book of questions and do nothing, as most usually do. These are busy and business men and have no time to answer fool questions. WEIR CITY, KANS. Mr. R. C.

In one of the most interesting of the always instructive bulletins scat out by the United States department of agriculture the extension of sorghum growing is urged by Carleton R. Hall, one of Uncle Sam's first agronomists. "It is only thirty five years," he says, "since the first grain sorghums were introduced into the United States. It is only twenty years since any of them have become crops of recognized importance. Although grain producing varieties had probably been introduced from time to time since the early colonial days, none had remained in cultivation "The first permanent introductions were the two durras, brown durra and white durra, which reached California in 1974 under the names 'brown Egyptian corn' and 'white Egyptian corn.' On account of its earliness and drought resistance the white variety became popular in the central plains region during two different series of dry years. The most was from 1890 to 1894, when it was known as the corn." "Meal made from the grain sorghums, ground locally, is not infrequently used in the making of batter cakes and similar articles on the farm. The general testimony is that these are delicious in quality. Some experiments are now being conducted in a small way to determine the value of the meal for more extended use. There seems little reason why when properly milled it should not be used in much the same manner as cornmeal. Throughout Africa, India and the other parts of southern and eastern Asia, where these crops are largely grown, they are not only commonly used as human food, but in many countries they truffle the chief article of the "The advantages of pure crops are imminent and easily seen. Pure varieties are most likely to be uniform in height ```markdown ``` and in time of ripening, and hence are easy to harvest. The grain is of much greater value for seed purposes and also obtains a higher grade and commands a better price on the grain market. It is also better as a feeding grain because more uniform in quality. The formation of various boys' and girls' clubs, especially those for the growing of corn, is helping to create interest in the things of the farm. They are real stops in the right direction and should be extended to cover all farm crops, poultry and live stock. But it is not necessary to await the formation of a neighborhood club in order to interest the lay in selecting better seed. Help him to make selections from the year's crops. Let him prepare it for storing over winter but use a neld on which he can plant it the following spring. Plant alongside it some unselected seed. Assist him in comparing the two fields. Encourage him if stifling results are not obtained the first year. Give him a fair share of the profit when profit results from his labor. The best result will be the increase of interest in knowledge in the lay. No More Thirsty Plowmen. I thought my wife was extravagant when she bought one of those new fringed bottles for keeping liquids hot, but it has proved very convenient in the hot and now that I have found a new use for on the farm I am as eager to use it as she is. Before going out into the hot sun to work I will drink a bottle with the cold filtered water and do it in the reticent order so that the whole thing becomes thoroughly chilled. I then carry it out to work with me, put it in the shade or preferably under a bit of soil. The water keeps almost free cold all day long, even in the hottest weather. This detail is about the greatest thing for all comfort and cool refreshment that I have found yet—Eternal New Yorker. A Polite Request.

STANDARD INSURANCE : COMPANY OLD LINE Home Office, Rucker Building Atlanta, Georgia Legal Reserve NO BETTER OR SAFER OPPORTUNITY has ever been given the investing public---Standard Life Insurance Company. Charter was granted June 24, 1911, by the Secretary of the State of Georgia to 44 of the strongest and most successful business and professional men, for an Old Line Legal Reserve Life Insurance Company with a Capital Stock of $100,000.00 and a Surplus of $40,000.00. ance but he needs and should have the best. The STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY is the outcome of conditions and the response to the needs which call for an Old Line, Legal-Reserve Life Insurance Company, with the proud distinction of being the first and only Company organized by colored men in accordance with this safe, scientific, and approved method. It is very gratifying and augurs well for the success of the Company to say that before Charter had been granted, applications for stock had been received aggregating nearly $30,000, or practically one-third of the entire capitalization. Some of the best known professional and business men in Georgia and other States all over the South have purchased stock. They realize that a good substantial life insurance company is the kind of investment that makes money. The indications now are that the entire 1,000 shares of stock will be greatly over-subscribed and that the stock will be withdrawn from the market inside of 30 days. It is the plan of the COMPANY to scatter the stock with influential people in limited quantities throughout the entire United States, especially in the States where we plan to begin business, thereby securing a local identification, prestige and influence in each State that we could not otherwise get. The favorable influence of so large a number of persons over such a wide territory practically insures, in our judgment, large dividends on the stock. Twenty-one of the many reasons why you should invest in a safe, sound and conservative Insurance proposition Twenty-one of the many reasons why you should invest in a safe, sound and conservative Insurance proposition (12) BLCAME: The Standard Life Insurance Company will write Industrial, Intermediate as well as the Ordinary Insurance business. (13) BLCAME: The investment will be safe and sound beyond all doubt whatever. Old Line insurance has been tested in the "severe school of adversity", and it has given abundant proof of its enduring qualities. No man, unless he be utterly uninformed on current affairs, and particularly of financial affairs, will today question the soundness of the principles upon which such Insurance is based, and the absolute security afforded investors and patrons. (18) BECAUSE: Unlike any other commercial organization, the capital stock of a Life Insurance Company can not be insured, and must be invested in securities prescribed by the State. (15) BECAUSE: The Old Line Companies yiek, returns to their stockholders that no other busl. bess can coul. STOCK IN THE STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY IS SURE TO PAY LARGE DIVIDENDS. (10) BECAUSE: The investments of the Company will be limited largely to Real Estate, Mortgages and loaned in the States and among the people from whom the business comes, and at a low rate of interest. (17) BECAUSE: The stock is being scattered among the most prominent business and professional men, whose influence and prestige and work will give to the Standard Life Insurance Company a large volume of the very best business from their sections, an asset of great value. (18) BECAUSE: The Company has the endorsement of fifteen (15) of the leading Insurance Journals, North, East, South and West. Also the hearty endorsement of leading papers in the South. (19) BECAUSE: The Standard Life Insurance Company has enlisted the interest of a large number of men of reputation and reliability in the business, which means a large and efficient agency force at the very beginning. (20) BECAUSE: We should develop our own great insurance institutions, and thus keep pace with the rest of the world in this as in other great movements. The Standard Life Insurance Company proposes to be a factor in the development of the insurance business of the race and to demand by its inherent morals the confidence and patronage of the insuring public. (21) BECAUSE: The organization will give employment to thousands of our people. Now is the time to buy. A safe and profitable investment and is sold on such terms that every one can buy. The stock of the Standard Life Insurance Company is now for sale on the following terms and conditions: One Hundred and Fifty Dollars a share, par value One Hundred Dollars. Subscriptions to this stock shall be paid 20 per cent in cash, balances in four notes, each for 20 per cent of the purchase price and due respectively in three, six, nine and twelve months from date. STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Home Office, Rucker Building, Atlanta, Georgia A SAFE PROPOSITION.—The Life Insurance Business, conducted on the Legal-Reserve plan, as prescribed by the Insurance Laws of the State of Georgia, and other States, is almost an exact science. There is nothing indeterminate or haphazard about the business, so conducted, the elecents of chance and risk are entirely eliminated UNDER THIS PLAN THE STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY WILL CONDUCT ITS BUSINESS Experience and actual computation have produced what is known as THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE MORTALITY TABLE. Under the Georgia Law all Companies Incorporated under the legal reserve plan are required to set aside, as a LEGAL RESERVE fund, at interest, under the supervision of the Insurance Department of the State, such a percentage of each premium as the table slows is required, together with future premiums to meet death losses as they occur. Therefore a new Company operated on this plan is scientifically and conclusively just as safe and secure as the largest Company in the world. No other business has such inherent elements of strength and unusual safe-guards thrown around it by law as the business of life insurance. The colored man has long felt the need of Old Line Legal-Reserve Insurance. His attempts to fill the need have thus far been confined to assessment associations and fraternal orders. Experience has clearly proved that these organizations can not, from an insurance standpoint, be placed on a satisfactory and permanent basis. The colored man not only needs life insur- (1) BLCMSI: In the location of its headquarters the Standard Life Insurance Company is extensively favored. Atlanta is the center of the colored population of the United States. It has trunk line railways to all parts of the country. It is the third largest insurance department center in the whole United States. Its banking facilities are excellent, and it is the most progressive city in the south. Very so favored will afford unlimited scope to the Standard Life Insurance Company in which to expand and flourish. (2) BLCMSI: The Company will be under the strict supervision and closest inspection of the Insurance Department of Georgia, and every other State in which the Company operates. Every business transaction, every agency and policy contract, every investment of reserve funds, and every disbursement of funds for whatever purpose, are all subject to the careful scrutiny of the Insurance Commissioner of Georgia and all other States entered. (3) BLCMSI: The Standard Life Insurance Company is the first and only Company to be organized by colored men in accordance with safe, scientific, and approved methods; its growth and development will naturally be rapid, and it will receive "the cream of the race" as its patrons. (4) BLCMSI: The Standard Life Insurance Company is being organized on a strictly business basis. (The Western Insurance Review, St. Louis, Mo., says "The promoters seem to have gone about the business in the right way.") (5) BLCMSI: The men forming the Organization Committee, forty-four in number, in eight states, are men who have made splendid success in other enterprises; they are men of means and ability, having the reputation of being careful, successful and trustworthy business men. (6) BLCMS: The board of directors will be scattered throughout the entire country, men of the highest standing among the business, financial and professional men in their respective communities whose duties will not be perfunctory, but who will be active and advisory in their several localities. (7) BLCMS: Twelve months were spent studying the plans and best methods of the Old Limo companies which have been tried and proved so highly successful, consulted and received advice from several of the leading actuaries. (8) BLCMS: Og the fact that a few Old Limo companies extend their operations to the colored risks. (9) BLCMS: There is a greater demand for life insurance among our people today than there has ever been. (10) BCMIS: The Standard Life Insurance Company is to be a National Company in its invest- ments, and its agency policies, and also in its direction. (11) BCMIS: The entire United States will be one field of operation. We can and will enter all states where the colored population will justify the necessary payment of licenses, taxes and fees. In a report given out last year, there are in the United States 10,000,000 insurable risks, with only 100,000 insured.
