Successful and Harmonious Meeting in Iola. Order Increasing Numerically and Intellectually.
The Sunfl. wee Grand Lodge, K
of P., met in its eighteenth annual
session at Lah, Jul. 24, 27. This
was one of the best dinners
thus in the room ever held. The
local committee of Song of Myrt

to be congratulated for the fine
reception and a commodious ten

The citizen, both white and
colored searched in the hours of
making it pleasant for the guests
Loh is a beautiful city with fine parks, wide streets and good buildings. The count house is located in a beautiful blue grass park, with shade trees and fountains of water cooling the atmosphere and where crowds of people enjoy themselves.
The formal opening of the session was held in the Woodman hall, where the public was invited to attend. In delivering the addresses of welcome, Mayor Bollinger and Judge Atchison, one of the foremost lawyers of Kansas, caught the attention of the audience. They assured the delegates that they were welcome to the city and that they felt it their duty to extend them all that is due any citizens who are endeavoring to uphold law and dignity. This was the first time that a white public officer ever addressed this order and remained to the close of the exercises. He is a man who believes in "all men up and no one down."
The address of H. I. Monroe and the blind merchant, Mr. S Stewart of Bassett, a suburb of Iola, aroused the audience and set everyone thinking. They discussed race pride and progress, colored enterprises and the duty of white citizens toward the colored race. The two bodies separated and settled down to business in the afternoon, the court meeting in the G. A. R. hall.
The report of Grand Chancellor J. E. Lewis showed the order in good working condition He made a number of good recommended for the advancement of the order which were enacted into laws. He has a

plan on foot to purchase a building for the Knights of Kansas. The order is rapidly growing. He set up recent lodges during the past year, and reported all business of the various departments keeping
pice with the timer. The reports of the other grand officers were first clues, and we each must read his memoir he placed the cash on the table, a swing that the money was on hand. This has never occurred in the history of the order. The Past Chancellor's degree was conferred on twenty five or more Memorial services were held on Thursday evening at the Second Baptist church. Rev. J. W. Gordon, pastor, who is the grand prelate, reached the sermon. He is one of Kansas' leading pulpit orators and is member to pay the sermon.
Arrangements had been made for a parade and picnic on Thursday, but on account of run it was postponed. On Thursday evening the officers were installed at the armory, Prof R H. Wade performing the ceremony in a way that was interesting to the audience of over five hundred persons. Prof. Payne's Military band, which furnished the music for the occasion, and which gave a concert on the court house square, which was enjoyed by a large crowd of white and colored, is one of the finest concert bands in the state.
Fort Scott and Wichita were the places offered for the next session. Wichita won by a close vote.
The Grand Court of Calaythe is moving and prospering under the good business attention given by Mrs. Lulu Summers, the Grand Worthy Counsellor, who has the work a heart. She has done much to improve and increase the membership.
Hon, John K. Lewis will do more this year than ever to surpass his work for the previous year. The members have great confidence in him as he has proven to be honest and capable.
The present grand officers are to be congratulated upon their work Pythianism in Kansas is growin.g

TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, AUG, 4 1911
ot 1. at lola. The three days session was marked for a great amount of business transacted in an unusually quick and quiet manner. The weather during the first two days was delightfully cool and pleasant, which helped the ladies to keep a stock of patience and good humor; the fact that there were fewer men than usual attending the court sessions and participating in the deliberations gave the ladies a good opportunity to prove their business ability. The order of business was interrupted on a day for a few minutes to allow the ladies to divert their minds from their ardent labors as officers, committee members and floor workers by listening to papers, recitations, vocal and instrumental music from its talented members. In spite of this, they were able to expedite matters so as to adjourn shortly after noon on Thursday, at least six hours earlier than the adjournment of the 1910 session.
It was shown during the session that the subordinate courts had increased their membership with a younger and more able class of women, which speaks well for the Court of Calanthe in the years to come. Four new courts were set up during the term, and the same number suspended by the capable G. W. C., Mrs. Lulu Summers, in accordance with Calanthian laws. Death claims amounting to $800 were paid from the endowment treasury, and a balance of $687.24 was reported by the officers of that department.
The various committees reported new rules and recommended various improvements for the progress of the order, and the reports of the officers showed that they had renewed their zeal as the growth of the order added to their duties. In the election of officers no changes were made. At the close of the annual report of the G. W. C. on the second day, the rules were suspended and she was by acclamation re-elected for another term. The G. R. D., G. R. Dep, G. S. E B, and G. T. E. B. were re-elected in the same way when they finished their reports. At the regular time for election of officers, nearly every one was re-elected by acclamation. There was very little contesting.
Provision was made for the publication of the new constitution, which was approved by the Supreme W. C. last year. Also for defraying the expenses of two representatives to the Supreme session that convenes in Indianapolis, Ind. next month. Steps were taken to promote the work of the juvenile department and to insure its success.
Greetings were sent Supreme W C., Joseph Jones, P. G. W C W. W. Plumb, Seattle, Wn., the Missouri grand court in session at Springfield and Sunflower Grand Lodge, K. P., holding sessions across the court house square.
Memorial services were held at the Second Baptist church Wednesday night, Rev. J. W. Gordon, Grand Prelate, who is pastor of the church, delivered an impressive sermon and Mrs. Mollie Cox delivered an eulogy upon the life of the late S. W. C., Starks. A choir made up of representatives from the different courts sang a number of appropriate selections. A liberal collection was given.
While in section news was received of the death of Mrs Emily McClain, a member of Excelsior court, Cherokee
A resolution was passed expressing gratitude to the people of Iola for the gracious manner in which they extended the hospitality to the members of the grand court The people of Iola are a happy set, light-hearted and light-footed;

NEGRO ORGANIZATIONS.
What Their Arm Should Be, and What
They Already You Do to the Rose.
They Should Mean to the Race (P. Dennis, N. Thompson, Balthus, Kans.) Organization has been one of the most potent factors in the development of our great commonwealth, and its unanticipated resources. Through the medium of wise and faithful organization, it has been possible to accomplish almost everything within the reach of human skill, yet when improperly conceived, organization has proven to be one of the most detrimental weapons at the disposal of those who would contend to use it.
Through the power of organization, great monarchies have been raised up, empires have fallen before it, whether for the better, or for the worse the whole world resorts to organized effort to reach a successful and
To make a long story start, the whole world is one great organization; it is Nature's manifesto; some time we are wont to reflect upon the future possibilities of organization, when we look about us and consider the great good that has come about through organization of the right kind.
When we come to consider the Negro as an organized body, we are naturally hopeful that his coming together might at all times be conducive of a higher order of things. The Negro should never consider organization in the light that many are want to do, at this time, but he must feel that whatever steps he may pursue in this direction, had latter be for the promotion on the latter interests of his race, and not merely for social and political reasons, as is too often the case.
The greatest number of organizations among the Negroes are for the most part fraternal, as they feel that they must be cared for in the time of disability, and death, which is probably responsible for this particular class, being in excess of others. The Negroes do not figure to any great extent in substantial business organizations, a fact which must be neglected, since it is true that such organizations are the basis of success of any nationality.
The Anglo-Saxon by reason of majority of numbers, wealth and prestige, are in a better position than the Negroes to maintain fraternal organizations, and yet while this is true, they are seemingly putting more stress on business, of which they have an organization in every avenue.
In casting about, here and there, one may find that they are all in unity; professional men, farmers and all, while the Negro has his best eye on the "lodge" or fraternal order, so he can have a large crowd and a band to follow him to the cemetery.
But he must begin to look it matters in a different light now.
How the Negro can afford to ignore the things that have brought success to other people, is a matter for shop con-
servation, yet while he succeeds in his way, it is not in any great measure, and therefore cannot be listing.
The chief aim of the organization should tend to an improvement of conditions, no matter in what capacity it may be, at there is no thought of bet-
tlement over the all order of things, there is no need of bringing together any body of people, because the organization
of all designed people is no good for that people.
The great trouble with faternal orders among the Norse is that the older family, for one year I have been taking a study of the conditions of some of the faternal orders in the annual districts. There is little reason to doubt, but that these organizations are gotten
[Name]
up in good faith, and probably would work out for the good of the tree were it not for that spirit of忍恨 that patriates the hands and souls of those appointed to the leadership thereof.
These would be so called, self-appointed leaders, who go out from the city into the rural districts as organizers, are doing more to disorganize the people than any dozen other calls that are sent at this time.
But why should one be surprised at this state of affairs?
If we organizers are after the money; they as a general rule place at the head of an organization persons who are incompetent and not fitted to lead.
Lee leaders are not locked with a view to ethnicity or what they might be able to do in the way of uplifting the people, but they always come from the class that claim to be able to unite all the people regardless of what they are, or where they come from.
Right here is where the organization is working a detriment to the Negro. The binding together of persons of questionable character, is an act that must be looked upon as unworthy by people who are looking forward to the uplift of the race.
One father says, he wants his daughter in the organization because all the rest of the young people of the community are in it; he does not stop to consider that there are some of the worst classes of people connected therewith; that the leaders are an ignorant set, who delight in poisoning the minds of the young people against the right.
It is high true that parents would look into this matter, and try to save their children.
The organizers with their turbulent language and hospitable pictures of the possibilities of an order, and easy money among the unspecting. The larger the prospective organization, the more the money for the promoter who cares not what kind of people he gets together, since he gets his commission, after which the community has to suffer the consequence.
The Negro race has reached the point where it must put a ban on those "organizer-believers" who are simply preteners; all you are on the Negro, and the best that he can do will meet with severe criticism. It seems then that it should be the highest duty of every Negro to lend a hand in this matter of race advancement; something more than talk is necessary, because the people as a rule generally follow a good talker, and if he is not right, he will sooner or later trap himself.
To be honest with the people is one of the highest recommendations any leader could wish for.
Why not be honest then? It looks a great deal better than trying to pull the wool over the people's eyes in order to mislead them, and then whoever the newspapers take notice of the fact, condemn them and try to place the publishers behind the bars.
The organization in my opinion should
moin what we be best for the Negro,
and should, therefore, promote a higher
standard with allty. The leader orga-
zizing the people just to get a large crowd
together is a very poor one, and the
Negro race cannot afford to unite
a lot much longer. When the le-
gion付介 intellectuals of the two le-
gions, the question naturally arises
to why there are not more business
organizations material of a small ones.
We are being confronted more and
more each year with the fact that a race
NUMBER 31
occupying the position that the Negro two does cannot allied to give over the best of its time to pleasure and things that it unprofitable.
The organization is all right in the right place, but there is one fact invariable—the business organization must be legitimate if we are to succeed. It matters not what our avocation, let us have an organization to further the in-
traits of our particular calling, let us get together and talk over our business, and exchange ideas in a business way, but let us throw those fellows overboard who are always ready to organize the important class in order that they may build and maintain a kingdom of rule or rule, and that they might be king.
There is no longer room for this class of scapologist if the Negro race is to have organizations of any description, let them select persons of intelligence to steer the ship, who are capable of fully interpreting the meaning of united effort.

As one man said recently, ‘Nowadays you can do almost
everything with electricity."’
He referred, of course, to anything requiring mechaoical

work that electricity can perform better than it is done now—
and usually more economically,
We bave a depattment in our organization which specializes
in showing people how to use electric service.u
If you suspect that ELECTRIC POWER can be made

Young Doctor Makes Great Progress Among All the People-Owns Automobile and Can Speak With the Italians.
Special to the New York NY
Asbury Park, N. I., April 25—Dr William I. Park is making things lively for his numerous white competitors. Although Dr Parks has been practicing only five years in Asbury Park, his practice still points toward on the south wall of Long Branch on the north, a distant about eight miles on the west, he is highly respected by law and is in contact with whom he comes. Not only is his practice extended to other areas, but the Long Branch Memorial Hospital has extended the courtesy of allowing him to operate upon his private patients who are able to enter the pro wards and have their own physician.
So many patients have among the Italian colonies that he is swimming their native tongue to communicate with them. So well does he use the language that the Italian at the priest who is his tutor, insisted upon his singing the tenor solo parts of the Easter must.
The accompanying out is of the new car just purchased by the doctor and is said to be the hit of the season. The car is a Regal 20' and is said to be capable of making sixty miles an hour. The doctor has been driving a Maxwell runabout but finds it too light for his summer rushes up and down the coast.
Among his own people Dr. Purks also stands high and is frequently consulted outside of his profession.

ATCHISON, KANS.
In final remembrance of our dear mother and grandmother, Maita Crowe, July 31, 1911.
Just one year ago today we laid away
The one we loved so well;
How lonely our hands are today
No tongue can ever tell.
We miss you, Mother, our dearest one,
And your voice we loved to hear;
But God so sweetly called you home
To dwell with him on high;
We leave you to His tender care—
Good bye, dear one, good bye.
She slumber that peaceful sleep
That knows no waking fear,
Oh land, our blessed one keep,
The one we love so dear.
Our hearts still ask for you dear Mother,
So wait and full of pain:
But tinting when it's work hard
to load with water.

BLAZE OF GLORY AT STATE FAIR
Pain's Most Spectacular Production Pictured In Fire—Liberati's Famous Band and Twenty Grand Opera Singers at Popular Prices—Live Stock and Art Exhibits.
The night entertainments at the Kansas State Fair at Iopka, Sept. 11, 1915, will be the most elaborate ever attempted in the great west. In front of the amphitheater each evening of Fair week will be presented a program for 20 contests that will pay a trip from every county of Kansas to witness. Those who have paid lanye prices to the Libratail celebrated in honor of good man in great context with a multidimensional theme I have in mind the great event in the most attractive part of the show. People in every other have been invited for their posthumity to host Libratail's band and have not counted the cost. For the State Fair engagement Signor Libratail belongs to Topeka twenty of the world's best singers, renowned as operatic stars, who will render selections from grand opera, in costume, accompanied by this big band.
Just think for a moment what this means. Who is there that has heard or ever expected to hear grand opera by even one or two stars at popular prices? The State Fair management offers a much better proposition to the music lovers of Kansas. Instead of one or two great stars or one or two soloists at the head of a company of lesser lights there will be an all star company, twenty of them, with the same magnificent ward-obes they have used in the same operatic productions in the big cities of the east.
And that is not all. Please keep your seats and wait until the show is over. Following the dual attraction of Liberatt's band in concerts and the presentation of grand opera selections in conjunction therewith by a company of virtuosos never before assembled west of Chicago the patrons of the night entertainments will be given the additional treat of Pain's wonderful presentation of "The Last Days of Pompeii," the pyrotechnic topnotcher of modern times, depicting in seas of beautiful varicolored fires the historic burning of the ancient Roman city and the accompanying scenes of grandeur and terror told in its panoamic destruction following the elaborate holiday festivities. This production requires an army of people and to costume the scenes a world of paraphernalia and settings. Millions of people all over the country have admired this awe inspiring fireworks spectacle. Other millions have never witnessed it, and still other millions there are who, having witnessed one production, would travel across Kansas to see it again.
The State Fair management certainlly has crowded into its night programs for a popular price more than has ever before been attempted by a western organization and is surely an inducement to Kansans to come to Topeka and have the week of their lives. As a further inducement the regular exhibits will be open for inspection each evening the pavilions containing the best live stock ever shown in Kansas; the art building, containing in up to date collection of art, textile fabrics and miscellaneous exhibits that instruct and interest everybody. The buildings will be brilliantly lighted up and attendants will be on hand to lend every courtesy to all who care to visit the exhibits.
Another notable feature of the State Fair this year will be the appearance of the Pittson Great Shows, one of the most remarkable aggregations of the kind touting the west. It has the very finest class of amusements and educational features.
The managers of the State Fair want the people to go away from the Fair this year pleased and satisfied. They want to present as much for the admission charged as they can, so that all who come will mobilize the spirit of putting the best foot forward for Kansas and assist in building up a State Fair that will collapse all other similar expositions in character of exhibits and attendance.
STATE FISH EXHIBIT.
Professor Dyche to Have Fisheries Car
at the Kansas State Fair.
On a spur track to be built in the State Fair grounds at Topeka by the Santa Fe railway will be the car of the Kansas fish and game warden Professor L. J. Dyche with an exhibit of fish and their propagation that will be a revolution to visitors to the Fair Sept. 11 15. This car is equipped for the transportation and distribution over the state of fish and fish spawn to stock its streams. Some valuable pointers may be gained concerning the kinds of fish that the best adapted to our waters, their habits and their trees of gammon. To the followers of Frank Walton this exhibit will be of untold value and also to those who are unacquainted with the laws of our state pertaining to the care and protection of food and game fish the demonstration by Professor Dyche will be timely.

The State Fair management realizes this fact and encourages the sending of the best that the county fairs collect for cities on the exhibit at the big fair. The county that gets in line for more tickets at the fair proves to the stranger that it will visits the fair that that city is up with its toes all the time.

The cream of all the A. T. Whitles collected for show at the State Fair at Topkapi should not be with products of the soil. There are numerous and sunny interesting habitats in other lines that would be an advertisement for the country or locality from which it comes. There are a multitude of rare and interesting items that might be profitably sent to Topkapi from every county fair in Kansas that would be of greater interest perhaps to the State Fair visitor than it is at home. A perusal of the State Fair premium list will continue any board of county commissioners that it would pay to enthuse some one with the idea of going after the prizes.
CAMPING AT TOPEKA.
Kansas State Fair Offers Excellent Facilities For Fair Week. Hitch up and drive in to the big State Fair. Take the whole family and have a genuine outing right on the Fair grounds. A special privilege to those desiring to go this way is of the management of the Fair
No large will be exact
for this privilege, and the hunting
of a bed and board is obtained. The
nicking under such surroundings will
be an incentive to many families to
drive overland and see the Fair for a
week with comparatively little expense,
above the admission fee, which will
be collected daily, and one admission only
for the vehicle when it first enters the
gate.
What joy a fishing expedition would bring to the boys if allowed to hatch up the old plow team and hike for the tall timber for a day or two. How much more enjoyment they would get out of a trip to Topkapi under similar conditions. There they would be with in the great Fair grounds, where there is something doing all the time where they could see the rises from their wagon seats with at least the camp, hear the loud play of the two works at night without having to leave their own trishee get to the beach. Get up a patty! Take the old folks, the young boys and their friends. Have a good time at mind mam expense and see the Fair right
CATCH THE STEP; FALL IN.
Prepare Now For a Visit to the Kana
anas State Fair
It's none too early to make your preparations to attend the Kansas State Fair at Topeka, which is held Sept. 11 to 15, inclusive. Make up your mind to see the big show, and take a week of reservation and instructive diversion. You will test more like taking a stronger and better hold of affairs at home after you have seen the best that Kansas can produce in the way of farm products, machinery, live stock, poultry and the other thou sand and one thing in which we are the leaders. State pride if nothing else, to say nothing of the great advantages of learning something from your contact with the people that have made successes of some particular line of work, should prompt every Kansas to rally to the support of the state Fair. This year it will be bigger and better than ever. Get your plans shaped up so that you can at home for a day or a week. It will be worth your while.

GOOD QUALITIES OF THE GALLOWAY
The Galloway is the oldest breed of pure bred cattle. We do not know its origin, but it derives its name from an ancient province in the southwestern part of Scotland. The earliest histories of Scotland make mention of a breed of black polled cattle, and the excellent quality of the beef the breed produces became known to the English butchers centuries ago. In the early part of the present century thousands of head of Galloway cattle annually were driven from southwestern Scotland to the luxurant pastures of southern England, where they were fitted for the London market. Galloway beef is well marbled, has an excellent flavor, and there is very little waste to the carcass. That is why Galloways always sell at the highest market prices.
The early breeders in the Galloway country of Scotland give their attention to producing high class meat for the market. Although no attention was given to exploiting the merits of the Galloway in other sections of Great Britain, the breed was improved by the systematic mating of the best specimens of each sex.
The climate of southwestern Scotland is moist and mild, and the cattle are allowed to run in the open the year round. Centuries of outdoor life have made the Galloway the hardest of all breeds of cattle. Of the hundreds of head of Galloway cattle selected in Scotland for importation to America separately one has failed to pass the government test for tuberculosis. The characteristic coat of hair of the Galloway also is due to centuries of outdoor life. In many respects the Galloway robe is far superior to that of the buffalo. There is a soft, thick, mossy undercoat of hair covered by an outer coat of longer hair which protects the animal from the severities of climate. The most desirable color is a dark ma-

The four leading heat breeds of cattle rank as to size in the following order: Shorthorns, Herefords, Aberdeen - Angus and Galloway. This does not indicate, however, that the smaller breeds are the least profitable. Early maturity is an important factor in economical beef production, and the tables show that the smaller breeds approach maturity more rapidly than the larger breeds. The Galloway consumes less feed than the Shorthorn, and the cost of producing 100 pounds of gain is practically the same for both. Galloways are compactly built, and their weight is sometimes deceptive to those not familiar with the breed. Their condition is often astonishing when compared with their pastures, and their weight is no less so when compared with the apparent bulk of the animal. The Galloway bull shown was a prize winner at one of the fail shows.
hogany brown. Many of the calves with their first coats of hair are almost red in color. Galloways were first imported into the United States in the early eighties. They proved to be great rustlers on the range and soon became popular with ranchmen. Although ranching practically is a thing of the past, the rustling characteristics of the breed make it an economical producer of beef. On the cheap grazing lands of the west Galloways, by nature adapted to make such excellent use of the cheaper and coarser feeds that go to waste on every farm, are superior to all other breeds in producing beef economically. It is pre-eminently a farmer's breed, and it merits the important position it has attained in the field of beef production.
Study the Site.
If all that is claimed for the silo is true then it is one of the most important and valuable buildings on the farm, says the Kansas Farmer. If only one-half of it is true it is well worth investigating. Now is the time to investigate, before the spring work begins. Study the silo question from all points of view and see if the actual saving of nearly one half the corn crop that you have worked to produce is not worth while. Beef if the convenience in feeding this corn crop which is afforded by the silo is not worth while. See if the giving of a succulent ration which is greedily eaten by the stock during the dry spells of summer and the winter season does not pay. Note how the milk flow is kept up by the cows and how easy it is to fatten a lot of baby beef with silage and alfalfa. Then note the economy of it all and see if you don't need a silo.
Feeding Floor For Hea.
A good floor for feeding market hogs will pay for itself in a very short time. The bulk of the corn fed is fed on the ear or shelled, and in rainy weather the hog usually is compelled to eat more or less dirt with the corn, and in dry weather dust will necessarily be eaten. With a good feeding floor the grain may be fed with no waste, whether wet or dry. Cement concrete is probably the best material to use for this purpose, and a floor of this kind will last a lifetime.
