THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER REFUSED NEGROES; WHITES LEAVE! Chicago Club Women go on Record Against Discrimination. --- Fifteenth Year. . . 15. School Will Soon Cl REFUSED NE Chicago Club Wom Against Dis Luncheon Stopped at Hotel La Salle When Manager Draws Color Line —White Club Women Loyal to Their Black Sister. Chicago, Ill., April 1.—Two hundred club and society women of Chicago and nearby towns were turned out of the Hotel La Salle Saturday when the hotel management refused to seat Negro delegates with the white guests in the grand ballroom at the annual meeting and lunceon of the League of Cook County Clubs. there is some talk of bringing suit for damages against the hotel people, as the civil rights laws of Chicago provide against discrimination in public places on account of race or color. Manget Ernest J. Stevens of the hotel drew the color line. His ultimatum was: No Negroes or no luncheons in the Hotel La Salle. The women protested with vigor, but he was obliterate. Finally, after considerable confusion, Mrs. Chas. H. Betts entertained a motion that the body stand by the Negro delegates and leave the hotel. The motion passed without a dissenting vote. The luncheon was announced "indefinitely postponed" and the women abandoned the meeting. Many expressed indignation at their treatment at the hotel manager's hands. Manager Stevens says that it should have been known that the La Salle had an nonrelaxed rule against Negro guests. Lieutenant Gov. Barratt O'Hara was among those who came to the hotel Mr. O'Hara was to address the woman on the aims of the Illinois Ace commission. I'a Wells-Barnett, Negro suffragist lea- matched in the votes-for-women pageant at Washington March 3, was out of the guests to whom the hotel management took exception. Mrs. Batty accused Stevens of vacillation in his ruling against the colored delegates. "We should have been notified in time if we were to have been turned out in such a fashion," said Mrs. Betts. "When it was first explained to Mr. Stevens that there would be several colored women among the dragates we were told that the La Salle did not entertain Negroes. We protested that last year when the league met at the Hotel Sherman no objection was made and Mr. Stevens consented to their presence. "Then, at the last minute, he positively refused to give the Negro women seats. They are regularly accredited members of the league and we feel it our duty to stand by them and resent any such treatment. There was not a woman in the league who did not indorse the motion to leave the hotel. Meeting Postponed Indefinitely. "The meeting has been indefinitely postponed. Those who bought tickets will have their money refunded to them. Arrangements for another meeting will be made. I do not think the league will countenance any attempt to expel its Negro members." According to Stevens' version of the affair, the first intimation the hotel had that Negroes were invited guests to the hotel was received on Friday when he was in conference with Mrs. Gortland Ames, chairman of arrangements, regarding the placing of tables for the lanceon. "Mrs. Ames told me to prepare a special table close to the speakers' stand, saying that it was for the Negro contingent of the organization," Mr. Stevens said, "I asked her what she meant and she repeated that there would be several Negro women, prominent in club activities of their own race. "I then assured her that while the w management of the Hotel La Salle he was only too glad to extend every ap possible courtesy to the clubwomen ha of Chicago, we could not break a the precedent which is as old as the hotel and admit Negro guests. Mrs. Ames, ho told me that the Negroes, already had been invited and that the invitations could not well be retracted. "My waiters, I explained would probably refuse to serve them, which would add greatly to the embarrassment of all present. In fact, I might have had a strike on my hands the moment the Negroes took their seats. "The matter was taken up again this morning with Mrs Charles H Betty, president of the league. She called a director's meeting. I understood at which it was needed to postpone the meeting. "It is true that some of the women who were uninformed us to the postponement came to the hotel, and it is a matter of deep regret to us that we had to inform them that their lunchcon could not be held in the Hotel La Salle." - New York Age --- KANSAS CITY, KAN Rev.

Attorney Quotes South Carolina Governor at Registration Hearing. --- Philadelphia, April 9. Recent differences of Governor Cole Blease of South Carolina were advanced as reasons in habeas corpus proceedings before Judge Perguton in quarter sessions court today why Joseph Grant, otherwise known as Frederick Brown, a Negro charged with killing two men should not be turned over to the officials of that state on regulation. The murders charged against Grant who was arrested at his barbershop here, were committed seven years ago at Edgefield, S. C. He is said to have confessed the killings, asserting they were killed in self defense. Governor Toner of Pennsylvania honored Gov Blease's reputation, and TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING APRIL 11, 1913. counsel for Grant sought a writ of habeas corpus. "Governor Blease, in public utterances," Grant's attorney said, "announced to the world that he will not protect any Negro accused of killing a white man. Public sentiment has been so aroused by these statements that a Negro cannot have a fair trial as guaranteed under the constitution." Judge Feiguson reserved decision. Minister Could Give No Evidence of Violation of Law. Abilene, Kas., Apr. 9.—Rev. E. E. Holler of Kansas City, Kas., preached in the Methodist church Sunday evening and is quoted as stating that Abilene needed cleaning up and scoring the officers for not enforce the law. County Attorney Hunt today subpoenaed Mr. Holler to give evidence on law violation. The clergyman claimed that a traveling man had told him in Kansas City that he could buy whiskey in Abilene, but there was no evidence on which to base arrests. Abilene had been congratulating itself that it was freer from bootlegging and illegal sales of liquor than at any time in its history. OBSERVATIONS OF THE EDITOR! kansas City, Mo.

He was born in Memphis, Tenn., 60 years ago, and came to Kansas City in 1884. He owns good property and has a good patronage. He is a man that is well versed in the history of the race and has many chippings and papers containing different things of interest to the race along the lines of growth and progress as well as of many outrages perpetrated against the Negro. He has lived in this place for thirteen years. 0 The people of Kansas City should be proud of one of the most successful grocery merchants in the West. Mr. J. H. Clayborne & Co., Mrs. Clayborne, his wife, being the partner in the Company. Their store is located at Tenth and Washington, where he has a large grocery stock, worth about $1,000, delivery wagons, clocks and a lady cashier, also owns considerable real estate. He is a young man of 37 years, born in Franklin, Tenn. He was for several years in the employ of the U. S. government in the Hospital Corps, in which service he enthed at the age of 18. He has been around the world twice. Leaving Europe he sailed East through the Suez canal, spent a few years in and also served in the Philippine Islands. He served in Cuba during the Spanish-American war and is well versed in this profession. He lived in Topka for a while and made a host of friends while here. He went to Kansas City in December, 1905, and engaged in the present business. He married one of the finest young ladies of the West. She is highly accomplished, beautiful and prepossessing, intelligent and very industrious. She is also Mabel Montgomery, whose birth place was in Tennessee.

They are a line of high class grocers and foreign groceries for the Domesia Science Department of Western University. Mr. Clayborne is a gentleman in every sense of the word, well as a diplomat and success in doing a large trade. We wish the full thousands of such business people as Mr. and Mrs. Clayborne, so in battling for the rights of the city as well as displaying such hard qualities that they demand recognition of all the business flows of our City. Their friends will be led to hear of their prosperity and prey for their continued success. → - We are glad to announce the organization of a Y. W. C. A. in Kansas City, which is located at Fifth and Sixth streets. They are connected with the National Board at New York and are now preparing to receive members and furnish comfortable, well equipped quarters, where the young Christian ladies can enjoy life and work for the upbuilding of their sex. This is an organization that is needed everywhere, as there are so many young ladies that go to the city to make their home and find it very difficult to find the right acquaintances to associate with and find employment in respectable places. This institution, if properly handled, can take up these matters and be of great service to the Christian young women of our race. They have secured the service of Miss Lydia Smith of New York City, a young lady, highly accomplished and well versed in this work and coming well recommended to assist them in the organization. Mrs. G. W. Woods, one of the foremost Christian workers in Kansas City, is president, and Miss Nellie Wilson, also prominent in Christian work, is secretary. They will have a safe in connection bath rooms, reading rooms, lecture rooms and everything necessary for an institution of this kind to make it pleasant for its members. We wish for its success. Mr. Chas Slaughter is contacting a fine business at Ninth and Everett. He serves luncheon, has an ice cream parlor, confectionaries and also groceries. He is a high spirited young business man and has a good patronage. He also manufactures ice cream for the community and does a good business along this line. His ice cream is home made, pure and delicious. --- We are glad to note that the white women of Missouri that are clamoring for equal suffrage have shown a greater spirit for fairness to the colored women than the white men have ever shown to the colored men by inviting Mrs. Victoria Hailey of St. Louis, Mo., to join them in their campaign for the equal rights of women of both races. Mrs. Hailey is an accomplished, intelligent, Christian lady and is very prominent in work for the uplift of her sex as well as of the race. We contend that women of this country should have equal suffrage and believe that through that channel we will get what is right. The white men have never dealt fair with the colored men or placed him on an equal footing in this country, but they have only used him as a chattel or a tool to get in office. We are also proud of the stand the good Christian workers of Chicago, took in defending Mrs. Ida Wells Burnett, who was refused admission to the reception given by the women's club at a hotel in that city. The white ladies resented the insult and withdrew in a body. We can say that all the good that has come to the colored race of this country has come through the white women. They are the followers of Mary, the mother of Christ, and feel that it is their duty to uplift the fallen. You will find the Plaindealer battling for the rights of women, for they are the mothers of the men and should be put in control of things that will make men walk in the straight and narrow path that leads to higher ideals and brings about peace and harmony. COFFEYVILLE, KAN. We, the Ladies of the Sewing Circle, wish to correct the statement that appeared in last week's issue of the paper concerning the Easter rally.

DORSEY In Kansas City recently nearly 300 men were arrested on no sort of a charge. Most of them were released, but forty-eight were locked up for forty-eight hours, and then hailed before the court on a vagrancy charge; but Judge Burney, before whom the men were brought for punishment, spoke as follows: "It is a disgrace to society and an outrage, to have kept these men in the holdover since Saturday night when you have nothing against them. It is not law to arrest 200 or 300 men in the hopes of getting one criminal. It is not right. If the police have nothing against the men they should not have been kept locked up from Saturday night until Monday morning. It does not make these men respect the law. I am surprised that the police would do such a thing. I don't blame you servant, you were obeying orders, and you did as you were told, but it is not right to put these men into court on a charge of vagrancy if they are not vagrants. It is an injustice to society. I am surprised to see you man as clean and neat as you appear after so many hours in the holdover. I don't see a one among you who looks as though he was a criminal." The prosecuting attorney had read the different things which constitute a vagrancy - frequenting a saloon, gambling, refusing to work, and twenty other offenses, and the police were unable to pick even one man out of the four dozen whom they could identify as being guilty of any of the offenses. Then the judge continued: "I don't believe the way to catch criminals is to arrest every man you find in the hopes that you will get one crook. These men must have some place to live. They can't all have homes and good jobs. They must take what they can get, and I am going to discharge every one of them." If this precedent were established throughout the land in police courts there would be less suffering on the part of men who happen to incur the displeasure of the men who draw pay from the people for the purpose of protecting them instead of persecuting them. We hope the new police judge in Topeka will follow the example of Judge Burney. When a white woman falls upon her knees and begs a colored man to marry and is willing to pay for the license there is something wrong in her upper story. It certainly must be filled with ebwahz, but it happened in Kansas. In many of the cities of Kansas the voters who believe in Republican doctrine had their choice between two Democrats for mayor, and many of them could not decide the lesser of the two calls and voted for neither. There may come a time when patriotic politics will cut out no race in city election, but not soon. It was in Alabama recently four men-two colored were hanged, but the sentence of death was carried out in "Jim Crow" order, the white men, swinging at the first call, while the colored men had to wait for them to be served, but it's a dead cinch that there is no first or second compartments in hell, where they landed everybody is equal down there. Down at the mouth of the Kaw the colored people cut some ice in politics. A campaign shout called "Think It Over," issued in the interest of one Porter, candidate for mayor of Kansas City, Kansas, gives the colored people credit for his defeat. If this is true, the colored people of Kansas City should certainly feel proud of themselves, for it the first good deed that they have been given credit for. We have often heard the saying "he will skin a flea for his hide and tallow," and we have now lived long enough to find such a person, and he is a lawyer. He was attorney in a case and bondsman for his client as well, and every time the client's case was postponed a new bond had to be executed and the client had to "dig up" again. He dug up several times, and when there was nothing more to dig the client was assigned to jail. Such actions on the part of bondsmen ought to be brought to the attention of the court when cases are continued against the wishes of the defendant and put a stop to the thing Article VI of the Amendments to the Constitution of the United States reads in part as follows: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused SHALL enjoy the right of a speedy and public trial," but it seems in these days of learned men and lawyers a person charged with crime can be kept in jail for a year before trial. It should be that when a warrant is issued for a man's arrest the state should have all necessary evidence to back up its claim, and if the defendant is ready for trial there should be no delay on the part of the prosecution. But it seems that a system of bond sharking is in vogue and a person who is accused of crime must run the gauntlet of these bond sharks through two or more terms of court before trial is begun. We do not believe in chucking a man in jail on a half-cocked charge and while he is in distance we have professional crime-makers manufacturing evidence on which to stick the accused. Try a man while his everyday movements are fresh in his memory. In a certain case and chat in Shawnee county there are more than forty witnesses called to testify for the state and not one for the defendant, and the case has hung fire for nearly a year. Out of the forty witnesses probably not more than five of them knew any more about the case than a man of China.

Farm and Garden Attempts to Grow Fruit Without Ferrous Ulcer Are Not Encouraging. The Illinois agricultural experiment station has conducted fertilizer experiments with muskulines at Anna, in Union county, and at Kimmundy, in Marion county, for several years. The chief objects of the experiments were to determine the relative efficiency of different amounts of manure and methods of application of manure, the effect of supplementing manure with commercial forms of phosphorus, the effect of using a complete commercial fertilizer in connection with manure and the effect of substituting commercial fertilizer for manure in the production of Gem melons. In both localities the experiments were conducted on typical melon soil of the region, that at Anna being unglacinated yellow silt loam and that at Kimmundy gray silt loam. Attempts to grow melons without manure were not very encouraging. When the complete commercial fertilizer was used in the bills in place of manure the yields were greatly reduced. This was especially marked in the field 100 Photograph by Liliana agricultura experimenta station READY FOR THE MARKET. planted crop where many plants were killed outright by the fertilizer and the maturing of the melons was greatly delayed on those that survived. Steamed bone applied to the hills gave fair results, but the yields were smaller than from the use of manure in the hills, and some years the plants were "burned" by the fertilizer, especially in the field planted crop. The check plot without manure or fertilizer produced small yields, especially in the field planted crop, where the melons also rheumatized very late. The results of the experiments referred to in this bulletin indicate that the influence of different methods of fertilizing the muskmelon are more marked upon a field planted than a transplanted crop, but that the most satisfactory results in either crop are likely to be secured from a moderate amount of well rotted manure in the hills. "BACK TO THE FARM." Let a youth whose sympathies are naturally with the land find out how best to get enjoyment out of it, and that boy will remain a farmer. The day will come, is now at hand, in fact, when boys will not be rushing to the cities, but will be hurrying back out of the cities to the land, answering the voice within them which insists and certain that they can achieve a comfortable living after they have done so.—Raymond A. Pearson, President Town State Agricultural College Geese Like Grazing Land. Geese live almost entirely by grazing. Marsh lands that grow a plentiful supply of succulent grasses are excellent for them, provided such lands are adjacent to higher places where other grasses grow. A mixture of the grass growing in the marsh lands and that on the rough hillside makes a better ration for them than either kind alone. In almost every locality there are rough or waste lands that cannot be cultivated. These might be made profitable if used for pasturing geese. Marsh lands furnish a supply not only of rich, juicy grasses, but of smalls, water beetles, worms and bugs that grow in such places. Small fish, toads and frogs are all eagerly eaten by geese.

The paint will dry in more slowly, there are no dies to both r and the job will be a good one all round. Season For Repairs. Build a sh to get some tools and let your boys learn how to use them.

Death of Nora Ritchie. "We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not figures on dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who think most, feels the noblest, acts the best. No lines can better express the life of Nora Ritchie, the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Squire Ritchie, who departed this life Wednesday night, April 2d at the early age of 18 years. Norn was a member of the graduating class and in all probability the valedictorian of her class. Her life though brief, was well spent, as she was a brilliant scholar, a kind friend and a loving sister and dutiful, obedient daughter. The funeral services were held from the Zion Baptist church, of which she was a faithful member. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. After such a beautiful, tho' short life, it will be impossible to forget her. Altho she is dead, she is not forgotten. When lautels shall wither, The marble decay, The garbands brought hither, Shall fade with today, But friendships unbroken By parting and tears, When good-bye is spoken Lives on with the years.

MATT CAMPBELL Attorney for Printing --- Entered at the Postoffice at Topeka as Second Class Mail Matter. REPUBLICANS HARMONIZING. The Plaindealer is pleased to note the "getting together" of the Republican party throughout the nation and can say that it means much to the people. The Republican party is the only one able to push the issues that are beneficial to the people and against the Democratic party, which has been adverse to prosperity since its organization. Senator Troutman deserves much credit for taking hold of this Herculean task in Kansas and if he succeeds, the mantle of Lincoln should be thrown around him. The Republican party is the greatest of all and it cannot be allowed to die for the sake of a few dissatisfied office seekers. It has championed too many successful undertakings, that have proved a blessing to the whole world to be crowded out of existence by a few slumbering prophets, whose idle dreams have always caused discord, trouble and unrest. TWO VIEWS OF KANSAS. Kansas is a good state to move to because it is a land of plenty; because we have neither millionaires nor paupers; and because it is easier here for a man to procure a home of his own than anywhere else. Kansas is a goodly land to live in because of its climate, because of the perennial good health of its inhabitants, and because of the kindly democratic, wholesouled spirit of its people. It is good to be identified with Kansas because its name is a synonym for all best in law and government, in education, society and morals, in civic progress and material prosperity. It is better to be a Kansan than to be a king.—John S. Dawson, attorney general. The location of Kansas is ideal. It is in the center of the United States. It is also in the center of the world, as can be proven by lines drawn eastward and westward, which will meet at a point on the globe exactly opposite Kansas. It is bound to be the market garden for the factory states of the East and the mining states of the West, with enough factories and mines at home to diversify its own industries. It has the climate of Italy, and often more so. It produces health and wealth and gives more opportunities for the pursuit of happiness and fun than any other tract of equal size on earth.—W. Y. Morgan, editor Hutchinson News. An Omaha divine claims that there is no vengeance of God in tornadoes. Probably not, but many people think so, and if less church edifices and several saloons had been in the disaster perhaps this divine would have things in a different light. President Wilson has set many new precedents in Washington since he has occupied the White House, and the latest is the reading of his message to Congress in person. It's dollars to doughnuts that but few words of the message were missed by the lawmakers, whereas before but few paid any attention to the reading of presidential messages. Press reports from Abilene say that Rev. E. E. Holler of Kansas City, preached in the Methodist church in that place last Sunday and in the course of his remarks stated that the city needed cleaning up and scored the officers for not enforcing the law. But when the county attorney issued a subpoena for the reverend gentleman to give evidence on law violation the clergyman didn't know "beans from turnips" when the proof was demanded. Topeka might try this little game on a few clergy gentlemen who know so much. The Kansas City, Mo., papers give an account of an affair in judicial circles deserving of widespread mention. A new brand of animal has been discovered—"street wolves." It is the varment in man form which preys upon womankind. A bunch of these "street wolves" was sentenced to pay fines of $500 for enticing girls away from home. Of course all the blame ought not to fall upon the men, because no woman or girl can be enticed into wrong-doing unless she is willing to be, but the range of such offenses in the streets and in the dens of vice should be given the limit of the law when caught in these acts. There are too many of these "street wolves" who infest the streets day and night, eating the best, drinking the best and wearing the best, who never work. No man who loafs continually can successfully exist and be honest. Put the eleuth hounds on the track of these "street wolves" and the women and girls will have a harder time finding some one to make them a victim. The Denver Star Changer Hands. We note with pride that Mr. Clarence E. Langston has become one of the owners of The Denver Star, Mr. Chester Franklin having sold to Langston and two other gentlemen, who operated a paper known as the Independent, which has been merged into The Star. A nice feature about the sale, it leaves Denver with only two Negro newspapers. Three or four papers of this class in one city are far too many, and no good can be accomplished by them. "Cub" Langston, as he is dubbed among the craft in Kansas, is one of the really good printers we have known, and it swells our head somewhat, as this writer inducted him into the mysteries of "printercraft," when he was an unshaved "gink" fresh from the sun-baked Philippines, where he faced shot and shell in the service of your Uncle Samuel. He took to the business like a duck to water, and when he left the service of The Plaindealer to again answer the "call" of his country—this time in the "Old Cayalry," he had absorbed the knowledge, and was capable of delivering the goods in any man's print shop. We felt at peace with the world and mankind—The Plaindealer had given to the craft a capable workman. Already The Star has assumed a different appearance, and its neat arrangement and make-up show plainly the "ear marks" of his cunning hand. Wait until old "Cub" gets away from the wire in proper shape, and you will see one of the neatest and most attractive weeklies in the country. REV. C. O. SMITH Hutchinson, Kan, April 8, 1913. Editor Plaindaleer: Dear Sir: Please allow me to say through the column of your valuable paper that Hutchinson is still on the map and looking forward to the coming of the great state fair that is to be held here in September. The political harvest is past and the people generally seem to be satisfied with the result. Good men like my best friend, Alexander Lee, and others are seeking positions at the hand of the new administration and as they are all competent to fill the positions they seek, I hope they may all be successful. Mr. T. J. Jordan of Wellington, the chief janitor of the recent state senate, is in our city looking for a location with a view of moving to Hutchinson. Mrs. I. K. Broaddus and Mr. H. B. Owens are both carrying a smile on the face in perfect harmony; on body hurt. Everybody is looking for as good at least, if not better, administration than the past. A young man E. L. Fornton teased in this city is now mayor. Rev. Duncan of the C. M. E. church is engaged in revival meeting. Rev. J. C. Rogers of the Second Baptist church preached a wonderful and logical sermon at the rally for Rev. Duncan last Sabbath evening. The people generally are much pleased with their choice of ministers this year. For it can be said of one Rev. M. A. Ellonth that he is a great builder, and a great man, his greatness consists of being a gospel preacher, and honest man and a Christian gentleman. The human mind is inadequate to imagine the amount of tears shed, the number of sleepless nights spent by Rev. Ellonth while suffering and doing what nearly everyone said he could not do; without any encouragement or any compensation and comparatively without ramont or food for wife or children he threw himself in the confidence of Jesus: allowing himself to be controlled by the influence of the holy spirit, honesty and righteousness; and today the $600 debt that has been hanging over the Tabernacle Baptist church, created by a great man who preached an unknown God, and an unself Savior, has been paid off and re- scripts to show for every cent by his honest Christian gentleman; a lowly naz., and I as a Baptist preacher, and a member of said church feel to be worst than an ingrate should I fail to commend, Rev. M. A. Eulonth to the kindest courtesy of all who love an honest Christian gentleman. Your friend, C. O. SMITH.

KAN --- Will Chief Hughes Reward Men Who Have Earned It? In reorganizing the police force, it seems to us that it would be proper and fitting to give some colored man a place above walking a beat with a club. There are plenty of men competent to fill places as sargeants or on the detective force. (Take for an example, Mr. K. K. Pinkston. A better officer never walked a beat in the city of Topeka. He is clean as a hound's tooth, and has eighteen or twenty years service to his credit without a single mark against him, set, the best "Pink" has ever received is that same old club. Col. Hughes would certainly gain for himself as an official if he would make an appointment of this kind, and if he selected Mr. Pinkston, it would meet the hearty approbation of every business man in town. Will Col. Hughes give the colored people recognition of this kind? Time will answer. Miss Mattie Perkins who has been ill for two weeks is improving.

Mr. C. Walker has now recovered from his run away excitement and is now again assisting Mr. Minnis on the farm. Rev. D. H. Williamson left for Dodge City Saturday, returning Monday. Mr. G. W. Winchester was called from Hutchinson Sunday morning, the occasion being the death of his youngest sister, little Joanna. Mrs. Major Martin left for Hutchinson, where she expects to visit for awhile with her daughter Mrs. R Wickhiffe. Lee Thomas is on the sick list this week. Mother P. J. Freeman, who has been indisposed for sometime, is now on the mend. Grandpa Caldwell, who is indisposed, is doing as well as could be expected. He says he feels badly most of the time, yet he is thankful to God that he is no worse. He is a 110 years of age; is very courageous and active; can sew and thread his own needle and when feeling good can walk over a mile to see the lady of his choice. The younger married daughter of Mr. M. Caldwell left to join her husband, Mr. Crane. Those who were not present at the Boys' entertainment Saturday night missed a chance of their life. The affair was conducted by Mrs. O. W. Preeman and a jolly time resulted. Mr. and Mrs. Sellars have resumed their position with Mr. R. E. Edwards. Death has again entered in to the home of Mrs. Maria J. Winchester, and claimed from her the youngest child, little Joanna, who was born April 3rd, 1900 and died March 30, 1913, aged 12 years, 11 months and 27 days. She leaves three brothers, three sisters, a mother and a host of friends to mourn their loss. But their loss is heavens' pain and may the relations and friends consider that she is free from trouble, free from care, free from all suffering and is at rest where sickness, sorrow, pain and death are felt and feared no more. Little Joanna was loved by all who knew her and will be really missed in her school room, in her class, in her journey each day to school and by all her dear schoolmates and teachers, who so lovingly came to pay the last respect to the little flower that bloomed on earth to bloom in heaven. As young as she was she was a loyal Sunday School pupil and even ready to do what she could in the Junior Christian Endeavor work. Although she is gone she will never be forgotten by her ardent friend, S. S. teacher and C. E. instructor, Mrs. O. Freeman, who will strive to meet her in the realms above. May I say through this great paper of yours, and ours, that the Eighth Street Baptist church is still moving. Our pastor, Dr. D. B. Jackson, is in the defense of Christ and the church. He has been with the St. James Baptist church, Emporia, Kansas, in a revival with Dr. Wm. Alford. Many souls were made happy; all enjoyed the gospel sermons, I am sure in Emporia, as we do in Kansas City, Kan. I learned that Dr. Alford has 21 candidates for baptism, and when Rev. Jackson left there, sixteen were at the mercy seat. On last Sunday morning and evening we had a large audience and Rev. Jackson was used by the Holy Spirit in teaching and in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ then. We are now at work on the building preparatory for the opening of our new church auditorium at Eighth and Oakland Avenue, June 1st. Mr. J. W. Wright Jr., who has the contract for covering the house, is now laying the slate; this means much to the church and community. Our motto is, "Meet Me Upstate in the Auditorium June 1st." Many of us in town, city and country rejoice to see the work go on so successfully. The church is in the spirit of doing things that are worth while. S. S. is good under the leadership of Sister L. E. Fitzhugh. The Rose of Sharon club is a great one, and is being led by the pastor's wife, Sister L. L. Jackson.

Farm and Garden DOES SHELTER PAY? Rockening the Cost of Keeping Farm Machinery Under Cover. A correspondent of the Kansas Farmer says that paper places undue importance upon the necessity of sheltering farm implements and that the cost of lumber and interest on the investment in a machinery shed is greater than the depreciation on implements as a result of exposure. The paper replies: "The average 100 acre farm is regarded as having $1,000 invested in farm machinery, including wagons and buggies. It is our judgment that the average Kansan farm has nearer $1,500 invested. We are confident that the depreciation on farm equipment when exposed to the storms is not less than 10 per cent per year. We are inclined to the belief that it is 20 per cent per year. We know that a 20 per cent depreciation will apply to at least a part of the equipment "The more equipment exposed to the weather the larger the depreciation in dollars and cents. One hundred dollars will erect a first class machinery shed. If $100 is not available $50 will erect a shed sufficiently large to house in a very small factory manner $1,000 to $1,500 worth of machinery. The $50 shed will be smaller than the $100 shed, and its use will require some piling up of machinery. "This, however, can be done with no cash outlay and with little outlay of time and labor. If the depreciation on the shed itself is 5 per cent per year and the interest on the investment is 5 or 6 per cent per year there is still a considerable amount in favor of saving the 10 per cent or minimum depreciation on the machinery." "It does not seem possible that a wide awake farmer would argue against the advantages of good machinery care, even though it be impossible for him to provide a machine shed." FLOUR BARREL COOP. Cheaply Made and Provides Plenty of Room For the Chickens. Flour barrels make excellent coops, roomy and cheap, says Farm and Fire-side, from which this article and illustration are taken. A little frame is made for the front, consisting of four pieces of board, the uprights 0 by 24 inches, and two cross pieces, top and bottom, 2 by 20 inches. Fasten frame to front of barrel by wire, leaving opening for door. O Fasten it so that a slide door eight inches wide can be easily dropped in from the top. This door is made of one half inch mesh cellar window wire, nailed PLOUCH BARREL. This door is made on one half inch mesh cellar window wire, nailed or stapled to strips of wood. This gives good ventilation and is absolutely veritable proof. Cover barrel with old tin roofing or spouting, so as to make it rain proof and prevent the sun from warping it. Of course a coat of paint will add to its attractiveness, but it is not necessary for practical purposes. Runs of any size made of wire netting can be attached to the barrel, and with netting over the top of runs the chicks are safe from crows or the annoyance of grown chickens. Barrels and runs can be easily moved to fresh ground. The runs are made substantial by the addition of a few stakes driven into the ground to support the wire netting Grow more leguminous crops and keep animals to consume these plants. This will build up your soil and increase the profits of your farm. What the Lawyers Tell Us. As a general rule, the owner of a vicious animal who has notice of its vicious character is liable for any injury committed by it and due to its fault. A person who, with knowledge that his agent, in violation of his authority, is purchasing goods for use in the business of his employer, fails to disent will be held to have ratified and adopted the agent's acts.—S. I. Keyes & Co. Versus Union Pacific Tea Company (Vt.) of Atlantic 201. If you well feel to a middleman, who sells it to the consumer and the good proves to be the usual to such an extent as to cause disease in the consumer, then you are liable to the consumer for the damage to his health. This is the decision of Judge Noyes in the federal district court in New York. A written contract should be drawn and signed to both the landowner and the renter when a contract agreement is communicated. This may avoid a no-underwriting and no-present trouble. An oral contract should be in writing as a written agreement, but the oral contract must be forgiven or its stipulations are fully understood. Farm and Garden HOME CHEESEMAKING. Product Helps to Lower Living Cost by Taking Place of Meat. In these times of high prices it be hootes us to manage in every way to reduce the cost of living, and yet be well supplied with plenty of whole some and nutritious food. Now, cheese will in a measure supply the place of meat, and if made in the home on the farm will cost but little in comparison with meat. Any one having sufficient cows to obtain five or six gallons of milk in the morning or part evening's milk can be used providing it is per cently sweet, can make delicious cheese and if a part evening's milk is used it may as well be skimmed, as that cream is likely to be lost. The often needed can be found in any farm home.

They Tell How Much Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Ammonium and Potash You Buy An essential question comes regarding the amount of the minerals used in designating a fertilizer. It should be well known that designation ever were used with the attention to the composition of the soil. The best thing is to the retains the second gives the phosphoric acid and the third the potash. When a fertilizer is designed in this way one's mind is drawn jointly to the actual content of plant land. 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 4810 fertilizer rather than 200 pounds of a 215 tons we would be getting the same amount of plant food by buying only 100 pounds of material - National Stock Exchange and Farmer Simple Silk Wisdom. The quality of silage depends upon the tour factors on air light and water light sills the age of the corn and the manner in which it is put into the air. With the proper construction, silage of sorghum or millet, the air wood may fulfill these requirements. The most important factors in Iowa show that the amount and kind of air silage which is as preservative, but not very greatly between the silage from field wood and fallow silage, and using that material of which silage is made does not substantially affect the quality of the content provided the silage is carefully conditioned so as to be air and water light.

"My word to the farm boy," he says, "would be that the three elements of success are industry, perseverance and intelligence. Industry without intelligence does not win, intelligence without industry does not win, and the two together must be coupled with perseverance, and to this must be added that degree of honesty in dealing with one's neighbors that makes friends for life." --- WHITEWASH FOR FARMS. Australian Method of Manufacture. South Americans Use Cactus Juice. The Australian uses 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 add six ounces of blechromate 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 drive in a very short time and by the action of light becomes converted into a perfectly insoluble waterproof substance which does not wish off even with hot water and at the same time does not give rise to mold growth, as whitewash made up with size often does. It may be colored to any desired shade by the use of a trace of aniline dye or powder coloring, while by the addition of a small proportion of calcic sulphite its antiseptic power is much increased. A recent consultar report states that a traveler in the rural districts of Uruguay will be struck by the fine white color of the firm buildings even during the wet season. This neat effect is secured by the use of a whitewash prepared by macerating the sliced leaves of the common cactus in water for twenty four hours, producing a liquid of creamy consistency, to which time is added and the whole well mixed. It is suggested that in sections of the United States where the cactus is abundant it might be utilized with advantage in this manner. The effect is durable. These whitewashes, like all those which contain milk, flour, glue or other organic matter, are not recommended for use in damp, interior places.

No horse should stand on a cement floor. This is an object insisted on by all who know much about breed ing. It usually are others, and they are excellent.

Either the base entrance should be too shallow for a mouse to intrude or it should be protected by wire cloth having three measures to the inch. The essentials of successful two watering are good stores, warmth and blues. Do not place trees in clumps upon low ground where the bottom boards will become damp and remain so all winter. Place the branches open dry ground raised up on 2 by 4 or upon hive stands. A southern slope with absofter from west and north winds is highly advisable. Practically nothing can be done at this season of the year that will be of any advantage to the bees. It is generally best to leave them strictly alone at this time. However, a slight exception might be made in connection with bees stored in cellars or other winter repositories, in which case it is well occasionally to ventilate the cellars and sweep up the dead bees that accumulate on the floor. This is a positive advantage to the live ones and in a large measure prevents the air of the cellars from becoming hot - Farm Journal The Plaindealer Wants Your PRINTING mee
