THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER DOINGS OF THE RACE! Fifteenth Year. No. 14. It's Mayor Cofra DOINGS OF Notes Gleaned For the Ec Busy R BRIGHT SIDE OF NEGRO'S LIFE Happily Represented by Register and Mrs. Napier at Official Reception Tendered by the Secretary of the Treasury. From the Washington Dec. Register of the Treasury and Mrs. J. C. Napier were given of figures at the magnificent reception tendered a few days ago by the Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. Franklin MacVaugh at their stately Sixteenth St. mansion in home of the late canon of the Duit. The Secretary was the only officer of the department of the State of the county Register and the claiming with fully justified the charity and social graces of our people at this notable function prior without the saving Mr. Napier was very usefully known as the changing personality unquestionably added to the brilliant assemblage which embraced the foremost social and official factors of the American republic. The thoughtful element of our citizenry are grateful to Mr and Mrs Napier for their attendance at the MacVegg reception—not because of any prestige the Naniers might gain through the quasi social recognition thus extended, but because of the opportunity given well deserved members of the other race to see the Negro it has best—to make a concrete observation of the possibilities of a people whose bright side is too seldom in evidence in such exalted circles. In accepting the invitation of Secretary MacVaugh Mr. Napier has set an example which, under similar circumstances, other colored business off it, would do well to follow. RALPH W. TYLER IS PRAISED!

"The same spirit that characterized Kansas in making her the initial battle ground of the awful conflict which clashed at Sumpter and climaxed at Appomattox, is the spirit that will show her loyalty to Christ and the great Sunday School Congress whose forces are marshalled by the intrepid and indomitable Henry Allen Boyd. We shall meet you at Muskogee with travers for a great meeting and a new invasion of the Master's kingdom. We shall be in a better position this year to answer your call to arms than we have ever been. Indeed, we feel it our duty to stand by Oklahoma hence reestricted that when the roll with us will we will be there to respond to the call of duty. We are getting in goodness to meet you with a large delegation from this late, especially since our church work and our Sandy Schools have been revived, day-school work. The Sunday School Congress was much in evidence in our board meeting which just closed at Abulene, Kansas a week ago. The bethren are all united and of one accord. They are striving for the enlargement of our denominational territory. Personnally, we might say that the Rev. Joseph R. Wilson, of Mount Zion Baptist church, of Texas, is conducting a revival with great results here in our city. "Yours truly until we meet at Muslegee, -R. Arlington Wilson in the Baptist Row."

My Dear Nui: Yours of the 12th last, at hand, and I assure you I greatly appreciate the interest you love in my behalf—or rather I ought to say in belf. If of our race, for I am representatively only. As yet, I do know what will be my fate, but that means that I, with all the will go, and that to the victors will go Zephyr. I have one consoil that I have so conducted my mind, and it suited myself as a way to reflect the highest credit race your race--mine and nure. When I go, if I go, I fear I will be the last number of our race to occupy this position. I fear that history will repeat itself in that when we appoint officers go it will be like when representatives of our race passed from the halls of Congress never again to re-center. I am quite obtain that no Nexto will succeed me that's the rub. I am going ahead, each day, performing my full duty, and when the summons comes for me to retire, I shall have, but one regret—that my race will be the loser. Again thinking you for the interest you manifest, and assuring you of my high regard and best wishes, believe me Sincerely, RALPH W. TYLER P.S.

REFORMING WICKED CHICAGO! Chicago, Ill., March 25, 1913. Bru. Editor: Knowing that your readers will be glad to hear of the work being done in this wicked city I want to inform them that the Lord is working mightily in Chicago. I am conducting services at Quinn Chapel, A. M. B. church, the leading Negro church of Chicago, by invitation of the pastor, Dr. D. William D. Cook, who is one of the best known and most successful pastors of this denomination. Within one short week the Lord gave us one hundred and twenty-five souls, and though we are only mid-way the second week of the services, conversions and accessions number one hundred and forty. While the services are conducted at Quinn Chapel, it is indeed a Union effort, for the people of all denominations come and converts go from the meeting to the different churches. Last Sunday thirty-nine persons decided for Christ. For the first time in her history, Quinn Chapel will have no Easter exercises, as the officers urged the pastor to dispense with Easter exercises and let the revival have the right of way. Christians everywhere are urged to pray for the continued success of the work in Chicago. Thanking you for past favors. Yours for God and the race. Statement of the Condition of Bishop Derrick.

DICK, Attendant Physician Topeka's Christians Are on the Job! Under a caption of, "Where's Topcka's Christians?" appeared an article concerning the Orphans at 12b Chandler street and one little girl, an inmate of that place. Since talking to a few of the ladies connected with the Home we think they are doing good work. As the Home has just reported they have not had the time to get all the conveniences necessary to make it a palace, but are doing much to make it comfortable for the who should happen to reside and participate of their hospitality. "The ladies connected with the Home are among Topcka's most highly respected and Christian workers. They have a little money in the treasury. Comports received up to the time of of the Institution They want to know where are the add five to worker who started side. (They invite all to help in this noble cause. Our intention of writing the article last week was to arouse the colored Christians of Topeka to a sense of duty and not a reflection on the managers of the Home as they depend on the public to make ends meet, and therefore cannot do nor give out more than they receive.

Cohen and Pamersbers His Old Time PAUL'S Storm Stretched Nebraska. Through the kindness of Mr William Newman, a former Tonckan, but now a resident of Omaha, we are able to give our readers an idea of genuine friendship—the kind that makes man great in the eyes of God and to mind. Our fellow township, Mr John W. Edmunds, shipping clock at the state printing plant, wrote his old time "pd" as follows, immediately after the storm in Omaha: Topoka Kasa, March 25, '13 Mr William Newman Dear Friend: Words fail to express how glad I am to hear of your safe escape from the great evolutions of last Sunday. I had heard that you had blown away a love could not bear but the real Lord has so loved things that it is worth that I am you alive again. And too, he has been so kind. Thanks to the Lord. Regards to your dear wife and baby are now at yourself after such an experience. I love you and have your job. I love you not at a big loss.

April 9, '11. Mr. J. W. Edmonds. Dear friend John: We were glad to receive your letter with us in our loss. We had no trouble insurance - we only had the insurance. Not one person out of a hundred had the torture insurance. Everyone in the town lost about all they had. Of course the ridiculous. The people have received a little help. Some of the colored people seem to have good friends but too than some of the white people have been made up and sent to them. I say this, I am glad our lives have been spared. My house want doesn't repair. I don't know where I ever will get on foot again. John, give my friends and yet write my best wishes. Write us dear Most sincerely. WILLIAM NEWMAN 11 North Twenty-seventh Street Immediately upon the receipt of the above, Mr. Edmonds mailed his trust a check for $1000.

On recommendations of Governor Fener of Pennsylvania an act will be passed in the state legislature taking away the charter of the town of Conesville, thus leaving that place without recognition on the map. It is a just punishment for the barbarous, humous crime of burning one Zack Walker one Sunday night not so long ago, when he was taken by the police and best citizens from a cut in a hospital in a dying condition and dragged through the principal streets of the town and finally taken to the outskirts of the place and incinerated. If the railroads would forget to stop there and Uncle Sam would cease to take in or out any mail from such an ungodly place the punishment would not atone for the act of barbarism. The "boze" artists are finding it rather difficult to keep up the pace since the price has so high. A prohibition crank in Washington the other day was telling how wonderfully effective the prohibitory was in Kansas and the wonderful good that had been accomplished under the prohibition in Kansas, but here at home a preacher had his pulpit full of booze, the jail is full of persons convicted of selling booze, and the "attacks" who manage to get on the outside of this "five water" are being hauled before the inquisition bound to tell where they get their drinks.

Her troubles of married life resulted in divorce. A lady friend now says that she had married a colored man, at one time couchman in the family of the dead woman. While great stress is laid on the claim of her being married to this Negro there exists no record of the issuance of a marriage license, and thereby hangs a title.

Pierpont Morgan is on the other side of Jordan some of the newspapers have been saying a good word or two of the greatest finance of the present age. It is too bad that some of the good things are not said before a man's eyes are closed in death. The election on Tuesday has set a list of people to worrying as to their source of meat and bread after next week, but for every fellow who loses a job there will be a fellow to quit a sort of a job. If the one got by at what he had the other fellow ought to manage to resist. --- The fellow who is summoned before the "inquisition" board is in a whole heap of trouble. If he tells where he gets his booze he will incur the enmity of that class and his supply is cut off; if he does not tell he stands a good chance of going to jail where he can't get it.

With an expenditure of half a dollar or even less and an hour's time a seed corn tester may be made at home that will answer every purpose. This simple device for selecting good seed corn is known as the "rag doll tester," probably because it resembles nothing more than a rag doll when it is rolled up and put to soak in a pool of water. Its efficiency was proved in several years' test of it at the Iowa agricultural experiment station, which says that it will select good corn as satisfactorily as the best expensive magnolia tured testers. Buy a few yards of sheeting of good quality and tear it into strips eight inches wide and from three to five inches long. If it is planned to use the strips a number of times them the edges, as otherwise theravelings sometimes disarrange the kernels in unrolling. Down the middle of each cloth strip lengthwise draw a line with a heavy pencil. Then draw squares about three inches wide and number the squares. Wet one of the strips thoroughly and stretch it out in front of the cars to be tested. Take six kernels from car No 1 and place in square No 1, take six kernels from car No 2 and place in square No 2 and so on. When the cloth has been filled begin at either end and roll the cloth up. If the cloth is well moistened the hernails will not push out of place. When the cloth has been rolled the a string ground each end rather loosely or better still, use a rubber band. Number this roll No 1. Then proceed with No 2 in the same way.

THOSE FERTILIZER FIGURES. They Tell How Much Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and Potash You Buy. An occasional question comes regarding the meaning of the minerals used in designating a fertilizer. It would be well if no other designation ever were used as it calls attention to the composition of the fertilizer and that is the one important thing. The first number gives the percent age of nitrogen in the fertilizer, the second gives the phosphoric acid and the third the potash. When a fertilizer is designated in this way one's mind is d. own directly to the actual content of plant food. We want to know how many pounds of each plant food constituent we are getting when we buy a fertilizer and would prefer to use 100 pounds of a 4-10 fertilizer rather than 200 pounds of a 2-45, because we would be getting the same amount of plant food by handling only 100 pounds of material — National Stockman and Partner Simple Solo Wisdom. The quality of slope depends upon the four factors: an air tight slope, a water tight slope, the age of the contour and the number in which it is put into the slope. With the proper construction slope of concrete, brick tile or wood may fulfill these conditions. Recent experiments in Iowa show that the amount and kind of soil in slope which acts as a preservative, did not vary greatly between the slope from left to right and follow the slope, indicating that the material of which a slope is made does not materially affect the quality of the contents, provided the slope is carefully constructed so as to be air and water tight.

More than a dozen of first and second class officers in Kansas are now recovering from "commission government" campaigns, and a glance at the general results of these minor poll battles' impressions on impartial observers that local politics have been short of any of its accomplishments on theiousness by reason of the "new rule." The majors who have been elected are of about the same type of men as those actually elected under the old postman team in better and no worse. The campaign for common rehaps was bitter in nearly all but the cities holding elections and the money spent by individual candidates must have been fully as much as under former conditions perhaps more. It is evident even to those most enthusiastically committed to the "commission form" that other arguments must be used in its behalf in suits the claim that it promotes good will and peace. In many of the titles, notably in heavenworth, Topeka and Wichita, various attacks were made up on the administrations of previous city commissions, wherein it was shown that they had own extravagant and incompetent Of course, such claims are expected under the old rule. It is part of the political game. But the public was told to pay better things of the "new rule" where implicate were "not with gain." Not was it known in any of the cities having commission government that taxes had been lowered or penal municipal authorities advanced by reason of the change in administration It is the common charge against those who have not accepted the common government that they are in bad sound relations with ever shut to improved methods. That charge is generally quite unjust as would be the charge that commission government is an unqualified failure. Perhaps the exact truth is that the new form of government cannot be an improvement. Unless men are induced to run for the important offices commission government can be no better than any other kind. Indeed, it can be much worse, for it places greater opportunities for blunders and bring irritation in the hands of individuals than under a system where responsibility must be more official. Commission government is entitled to a fair trial and it is getting at this trial it has not vindicated itself by any special witness. It has brought few benefits of common use the older form of city government and has it produced many other faults that it not be 、1.11100、4、11. born in Warrenton Kentucky on the month of November, 1861 At the time of her death March 14th. tilda Tolbert.

Two daughters, a little grand daughter, a son-in-law, two brothers in law and a sister in law still survive her. Mrs Sallie Walthall came to the waltham with her husband March 1879. Since that time she has had her home except for nine years when he accompanied her husband upon his ministerial work in various places always proving an efficient helper in advancing the cause of Christ. Since the death of her husband six years ago she has made this city her home. Mrs. Walbail conceived a hope in Christ twenty-five years ago and amided with the A.M.E. church and loved a faithful and constant life until death. She has been a faithful member of the Old Eastern Star hodge on the last fifteen years. Drama, no long illness, which lasted for almost two years, she was always patient and charitable ever looking on the right side of her. She was a kind and loving mother and a good neighbor. She will be missed not only by her two daughters but also by the many neighbours and friends who so faithfully and patiently helped to care for her during her sickness. Could we but hear her speak no doubt she would say weep not for me dear daughters and friends but rejoice in the God of your salvation, ever love and trust Jesus and walk in his footsteps.

The Time for Repairing the Natural Destruction of Winter is in The chill of winter makes it necessary, in the spring, to use something on the scalp which will have a tonic effect if you would have and keep good hair.

MAKING THE LITTLE FARM PAY MAKING FARM W 1111 the present tendency of city people to acquire land we will see better market type of not better farming There is a call for business methods on the farm to create profits will come when landowners study the needs of the markets which surround them. They should aim to produce these articles for which there is a steady demand and which give a good return for the ground and labor involved. Any one starting on a little farm can easily tell by the location what good nuts will pay best. If near a good cash market say a city of 200mm to 300mm a general time of garden truck may be raised. A local can be taken to town every day for six or seven months in the year. Private families, restaurants and hotels will gladly pay full retail prices to the farmer for fresh produce widely handled. This marketing may include eggs, poultry, milk and all kinds of fruit and vegetables. If three to five miles out from a station the little farm owner can confine his operations to produce that does not require a daily trip to town. Weekly trips will do for two thirds of the proof that is raised and instead of running a dairy will be better to raise hogs, poultry, potatoes and other things that do not have to have quick marketing. There is a steady cash demand for all these articles. A successful in the boiler quit business in the city a few years ago to engage in flower raising. He wished to try life on a farm. Using a practical man he determined to get a good cash income, so he bought two acres and went in for attractions and rests.

Two acres of quinces ought to make many mounds for the largest than twenty acres of apples according to Professor Whitten. It well known an authority on birth rate. "The quince is more requested in proportion to its size than any of our hard fruits we said. Nobody ever saw an overpopulation of quinces. There is an unlimited demand for them if the farmer has a place where they will do well the crop properly handled will pay better than any of our orchard fruits. The farm is the most we have to ship the most handsome and the best kept." According to Professor Whitten quinces growing has never had a boom 1 ```markdown ``` Alfalfa Without Spread? A.

'One greenhouse covering nearly an acre had been put up, and a huge steam heating plant was being installed. The latter feature was in working order before winter set in. Two dwelling houses were also put up. As soon as his help was well organized and a customer to the work at hand another large greenhouse was created. The production of flowers proceeded all winter, and the end of the first year found the man who was running his farm on business principles on business income of $100 per month. It is probably true that when a to get proportion of trained business not turn their attention to filling the soil there will be greater financial results and less waste of land. When men like hold of farming it earnest they will work the soil for all there is in it, just as they conduct stores and factories. The American farmer is industrious, frugal and in intelligent, and yet, is a rule, he does not farm on business principles. He has acquired his fertile acres too easily, and the handling of large areas his hard carelessness and over caution.

I would cut out the long hours of drugging and make the business of forming tolerable to young people of ambition and spirit. This is the improvement needed in American rural life.

Farmers should not allow their barns or outbuildings that are close to the road to be decorated with the advertisements of articles or the business of merchants of nearby towns. It detracts from the appearance of the farm and gives the place a too much commercialized aspect. A sign of that kind soon becomes an eyeore to both the farmer and his neighbors. What little protection the advertiser's paint gives the building is more than offset by its ugly appearance - Northwest Farm and Home. HOW TO KILL LAWN BUGS. Various Ways Suggested to New York Botanical Garden Expert. In answer to a call published in the New York Times Dr. W. A. Murrill, acting director of the New York botanical garden, received interesting suggestions relative to the extermination of white clubs that have killed many of the lawns in New York and violently cut them, the roots of the grass beetle the soil. It is thought the worm may be crushed on for watching the lawns and rolling them with a heavy horse roller.

The insects are attracted to swarms by the lights and finally fall into the tubs where they are killed by the kerosene. One advantage of this method lies in the fact that a town may be protected no matter where the insects originate nor how abundant they may be. WARNING! Washington Experts Want Every One to Look Out For Bad Vetch Seed. Warning has been issued by the United States department of agriculture against the purchase of certain lots of low grade hairy vetch seed now being offered by wholesalers. The greater part of this is imported from Europe. Recent lots have been found to contain 60, 15 to 20 per cent of hairy vetch seed, the remainder being forms of spring vetch not hardy in the northern states or outside species of wild vetch as of doubtful value. The seed of hairy vetch is spherical, varying from three thirty-seconds to five thirty-seconds of an inch in diameter, averaging about one eighth of an inch. The seeds of most other vetch are more. It is shaggy, gutted at the ends and varying in size by spreading a small quantity of the mixed seed on a cardboard and gently shaking it the hairy vetch will roll off, leaving behind most of the vetch seed that has been used as an adulterant. The color of hairy vetch seed grayish black, with a greenish tinge if fresh, is another test also the lemon color of the crushed seed.

Australian Method of Manufactured Australian Method of Manufacture South Americans Use Cactus Juice. The Australians use a whitewash which it is asserted will not rub off. It is prepared in the following manner: Dissolve two pounds of ordinary glue in seven pints of water and when all is dissolved and six ounces of hydro-mate of potassium dissolved in a pint of hot water. Stir the mixture up well and then add sufficient whiting to make it up to the usual consistency and apply with a brush in the ordinary manner as quickly as possible. This takes in a minute. It will be by the action of light becomes converted into a perfect solid with with of whiting which does not wash off even with hot water and at the same time does not give the to mold growth, as white does with water. With three pounds dissolved should be stirred with three pounds. With the addition of the sulphate it gains the power is much heavier. A term of the letter states that a trivially to the articles of Ursula gay will be struck by the fine white color of the fruit upon the even dringing the wet season. This next effect is secured by the use of a whitewash prepared by imitating the soiled leaves of the common cactus in water for five days, providing a liquid of creamy consistency, to which time is added. It is suggested that in sections of the United States where the cactus is abundant it might be utilized with adj. vantage in this manner. The effect is durable. Those which wish to like all those which cost in truth, flour, glue or other organic matter, are not recommended for use in interior phases. Roller Gate.

It's the Green Apple Worm, Which Spells the Fruit. The green fruit worm is a yellowish green, naked caterpillar, which eats into the sides of small green apples with the results indicated in the picture. It also eats the leaves. When fully grown it is nearly an inch and a half long. The caterpillars often make only small openings through the skin of the young apples, instead of healing smoothly these wounds form a rusty or corny area, which has often been mistaken for the true apple scab by persons who have not seen the latter. Similar injury is sometimes done to the pear, says the Montana agricultural experiment station. Besides the apple and the pear, a con- diderable number of other plants are sled upon by this insect, including peach, plum, quince, currant, oak, bickory, wild cherry, box elder and rose. This species belongs to the same family of moths as the ordinary cutworms, and the parent insect is a small, night Photograph by Montana agricultural experiment station. APPLES DASMUFFED BY GREEN Fruit Worms flying moth, which would not attract attention if it were to be seen by the fruit grower. The details of its life history are not well known. It is probable the eggs are laid soon after the leaf buds open, and the young worms, hatching a few days later, feed first on the leaves and litter on the fruit. They continue their feeding through the early part of the season and reach fruit size about the time the apples are an in h in diameter, when they go into the soil and pupate. In the late summer and early fall the moths issue from the pupae and pass the winter under any favorable shelter. In the spring they fuse as activity. Clearly, spraying is the only method by which we may expect to be able to destroy these worms, and from the fact that they feed extensively upon the foliage, it would appear to be easy to pet satisfactory results. Professor Slingerland of Cornell university has pointed out that in the experience of some of his correspondents it is very difficult to kill this green fruit worm after the apples are large enough to furnish food. It is probable that an early spraying would be effective and we recommend that four rounds of ursenate or lead be added to every fifty gallons of lime sulphur or the tomes extract applied just before the fruit lands open, or in writer at the same time or a little earlier it there is ```markdown ``` GET WISE!

Not Good For Peach Trees. Not Good for Fruit Vegetables Stable moisture alone is not the best plant food for a thrifty peach or hard. The moisture contains too large a proportion of nitrogen. The effect of this is to drive the trees to wood growth rather than to fruit. Apple and pinnapple can stand this sort of feeding far better than peach, the latter being more delicate and more inclined to make wood - Rural New Yorker What the Lawyers Tell Us.

Under the older common law a person was entitled to kill all pigeons coming on his land. Pigeons are now regarded as property, however and are protected by the law much to the same extent as domestic fowls. This means that a landowner is not justified in shooting them merely because of their coming on his property, but he may kill them where it is reasonably necessary to press; their injuring or destroying his crops. 1 Rev.
