Plaindealer

THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER There Will Be to Recall in Topeka's Government. Commissioner Porter Bowed Politely and "Backed Up!" A Few Personal Notes Cleaned Among Progressive Kansas Citians. Fifteenth Year. No. 17. There Will Be Through the Editor's A Few Personal No Progressive K Prof. Bowser, one of the oldest teachers in Kansas City is now engaged in the real estate business and is now an active work. Mr. A. W. Harris is doing a great business in his new printing shop, 1515 E. 18th St. All of his work is first-class and up to date. He is an artist and knows his business. . Mrs. S. M. Lee, formerly Mrs. Pryce of Topeka, is one of the correspondents and agents for the Plaindealer in Kansas City, Kan. She is an industrious lady and has a nice home and is doing well. The many friends of Prof. J. L. Hefeford are insisting on him being a candidate for Grand Master of the jurisdiction of Missouri, A. F. & A. M. which meets in St. Joseph, Mo. He is now chairman of the committee on Correspondence, which position he has held for sixteen years. Mrs L. Summers, G. W. C. of the Court of Calanthe, has just returned from a trip in Southern Kansas. She set up a lodge at Chanute. She says everything is moving along nicely and all their business is in good shape. She will continue her visits until about the 4th of May. Mr. T. H. Watkins and brother, leading undertakers of Kansas City, Mo., have a first class establishment and we are compelled to say it is inviting as well as enjoyable to visit their place of business. The roomate decorated with flowers of every description and variety and it is quite a relief to mourners who have to call at their place on funeral occasions they handle most of the business in the city and their work is first class and up to date. --- We visited the office of Dr. W. L. Hayden, 100 Minn. Avenue, Kansas City, Kans. He has well equipped and furnished dental parlors adjoung the office of his brother, Dr. R. C. Hayden, one of Kansas City's leading physicians. Mr. Hayden is a graduate of Meharry in the class of 1912. He is a model young man and deserves the support of the people of Kansas City, especially the colored people. --- Mrs. M. R. Green, one of Missouri's most prominent and intellectual ladies, is connected with the provident association and is doing a great work among her sex. She makes a specialty of looking after the poor, needy and distressed young girls of the race. She was formerly a resident of Topeka, her husband being a pastor of St. Simon's church. She is a beautiful widow and has three fine young sons, who are well educated and industrious and live at home with their mother. They save their money and make their home happy and any man who desired to better his future and be happy would be well benefitted and repaid if he should secure the coveted prize. --- Two of the happiest people we met in Kansas City was Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Branch, who were recently married. Mr. Branch is one of Kansas City's leading young men and is employed in the railway mail service, where he has been for eighteen years. He was a widower and has a host of friends, but he decided it was not good for a man to live alone and therefore obey the commandments laid down in the scripture and went over in Missouri and formed the acquaintance of a beautiful and intellectual young widow, Mrs. Josephine Hill. He was unable to endure the blows of little cupid and they were betrothed a short time ago. The ceremony was performed January 14, at the beautiful home of the bride, after which they moved to his home on Nebraska Avenue, where they new venture We predict for them a height and happy future and wish for them every success. Rev T. H. Ewing, pastor of the Yone Street Baptist church of Kansas City, Mo., has one of the best organized churches in Kansas City and has pastored there for fifteen years and they do not own a dollar on the building; property worth $25,000. He has 625 members and 235 Sunday School children. The church building has a recreation hall for children, library, latest rest room and twelve living rooms, including the pastor's study, parlor and sitting room. The pastor receives a salary of $2,000 per year and some of the wealthiest colored people of Kansas City are members of his church. The reverend teaches industry and instructs the people to save their money and this is one of the reasons that he is successful and his salary is paid right up to date. They make a specialty of looking after the poor and needy and the distressed members of his church. Much credit is due Judge Lucas for compelling some dishonest lawyers to return the money on a mortgage on some colored people's property, who were their clients. We are glad that there are some courts that will take interest in colored people's welfare and stop this wholesale robbery of that class of people who lay and wait for such a class of people to rob and coast. It is no more than right that the inexperienced should be protected from such witty and crafty people, who try to beat them out of their hard earned money. We have been fighting this kind of graft and will continue to do so, notwithstanding, we have a case pending in the courts for speaking out against just such dishonesty and look to the time that the world will credit such editorial material at condemning them. FOR COLORED TROOPS IN THE KEYSTONE STATE. ☐ Harrisburg, Pa. A bill has been introduced in the State Legislature providing for mustering in of a colored regiment of state militia. It has received the indorsement of prominent men in various sections of the State. The above is just what we are contending for in this state and in all other states. There is no reason why the colored man should not be murdered in the various states as well as the whites for colored militia. If this country was called into war the Negro would be pressed into service as well as the white and it is very important that each state should have a colored regiment of state militia, with colored officers. The state of Illinois is the only state that has a colored regiment of state militia and this one is doing fine. THE TRUE CHRISIAN. Paper read by Prof. Jno. H. Hodge before the R. Y. P. U., at the First Baptist church. Prof. Hodge in instructor in Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Sumner High School Is it absurd to ask, "What is a Christian? When we consider the many ways in which the word Christian is used and interpreted by several groups of people called Christians, and by the individual persons within each group we shall probably decide that the question at least admits of discussion. In temporal affairs it is a very common practice to have some one person or group of persons to interpret definitions. For example, a United States Supreme Court often decides upon mere definitions of words. A court may decide what a criminal is; what a murder is, etc. If likewise, if we wish to know what a Christian is; we must have a court of last resort TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING APRIL 25, 1913. to set up straight. And since the name literally means a follower of Christ, Christ himself must constitute this court of last resort. The natural way to reason, then, is to say a Christian is one who follows, or at least this all he knows how to follow, the teaching of Christ; and the next step in the reasoning is to say that in order to be a Christian one must learn what Christ taught; what he stood for; what his creed was; what he considered essential in the conduct of one's life. We might say he taught many things in the three years of his ministry. That is true, but upon one occasion, when a certain lawyer approached him with the question: "What is the greatest commandment?" Christ gave us two commandments (one of which is implied in the other) "upon which hang all the law and the prophets?" "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart with all thy soul with all thy mind, and the second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self." This is the way our court of last resort implicitly defines a Christian. In these two commandments are not only included all the other commandments, but in them is also all that Christ attempted to teach; and all his sermons and all the myriads of sermons that have been preached since his time have been only amplifications of these two commandments. Now, how shall we go about loving God with all our heart and soul and mind? The word love is a very much overworked word, meaning almost anything from the feeling of the horse for his master to the feeling of man for man, mother for child or the kind of love that Christ must have had that he gave up his life for men. But whatever we mean by love is it something we can possess merely by concentrating our minds on what we think it is, or by merely willing to love? Probably not; and yet Christ commands us to love God and our neighbor. One can not love without in some way knowing what he seeks to love. Let us, therefore, define a Christian as one who knows and loves God and man. One of the greatest hindrances perhaps to our becoming acquainted with God is the fact that we consider God to be all powerful, to be sure, but always at an infinite distance. Some think of God as having existed at the time He created the heavens and the earth and never since. We so often fail to realize that He is everywhere, demonstrating his presence in the multitude of natural forms and phenomena that make up our environment. It happens sometimes however that we do all unaware, so to speak, some face to face with God. It usually happens when we are most at leisure, very often when we are experiencing some new pleasure, and always when we are in the attitude to see the beauty in some natural object. We have all had these glimpses of God—these short, happy, intoxicatingly pleasant moments when we were in tune with nature. Our real introduction to God and our real contact with Him comes especially at times when we are traveling amid new scenes, among beautiful landscapes, or when we stand in the presence of some one of God's creatures that we regard as perfect. It may be a foaming waterfall, such as Niagara, a mountain peak glistening in the sun, a sunrise on the placid ocean, or it may be so small a thing as a flower—a lily, a rose, and occasionally the angelic face of a human being. There is no end to the ways in which God manifests his presence and legion are the avenues that we may tread to meet him. It may be one of my own personal ways of looking at the subject of Christianity, but I believe the best way to know God is through some such agency as that of the sunrise or some of the other thousands of objects through which is manifested this miraculous and superhuman wisdom of which we are all creatures. That poet must have been thinking along the same line and at the same time must have been becoming more and more acquainted with God when, standing before an old crumbled stone wall, he discovered growing in one of the cracks a tiny beautiful flower. Here is what he said: "little flower in the cranried wall, I black thee from the cranles; I hold thee in my hand, flower. If I but knew thee all and all by all, I should know what God and man is. That tiny flower had enclosed in it the wisdom of God as much as the whole solar system or the thousands of solar systems. What the poet said to the flower was only a prayer, asking for a complete knowledge of God. Love of God follows knowledge of Him and His ways. And when we come to the realization that all He has created is for our good we are learning to love Him in reality. One cannot resist the effect of kindness. Kindness is always the loadstone that attracts love. And is God kind? If he is in the flower, the wind, the stream, the rain, the stars and the song of birds then He is kind. For to us He comes in the sunbeam when we most need His light. He twinkles in the stars by night, and when we look into the pretty sky and remember that each star is a sun like ours, that three are thousands of them visible to the naked eye, and many more thousands visible through the powerful telescopes, it teaches us that God is, as space is--infinite. He is in the tides, the trees. He displays His beauty in the cataract, the springs and geysers. He puts into the fields our food, our grain, our veins of gold and silver and the materials to be used in carrying forward His work of perfection. He grows our forests and fills the spaces between the towering trees with the herbs that destroy the fever and make us well. Can we reflect long upon this infinite kindness without loving the giver of it all? It is our duty to love God. It is our duty to know Him. But first of all it is our duty to take time to reflect upon His kindness until we are finally overwhelmed with admiration. It is probably true as has been said that the reason that so many of our pioneers became famous men is because in the sort of life they led they had ample opportunity to reflect upon nature long enough to get completely in tune with her. Think what this meant to our backwoods Lincoln. Our own Booker T. Washington says himself that he acts best, feels best and thinks best when he has the three eyes out in his garden and "get his feet into the soil." One of the greatest curses of the present commercial age of exploitation and money getting is robbing of man's time to think, and reflect as those pioneers reflected. But so far we have considered only the first half of our definition of a christian. We are not only to love "d. but also his most perfect creation—men. "I love thy neighbor as myself." Again I wish to question the possibility of losing merely by willing to see and finding ourselves immediately in the possession of such love. One of the greatest faults to my mind is the teaching or the believing that as soon as we want to be a Christian he is one. Becoming a Christian today after having been a wicked person yesterday is accomplished by only a few. (The reader will understand that there is a distinction between what is called conversion and becoming a Christian in reality.) Some men have been transformed in the twinkling of an eye, to be sure, as Saul in the desert, but for the most of us becoming a Christian in the true sense of the word is the task of a life time. Let us see why: As far as keeping the commandments is concerned we are able to do so until it comes to the one which says "Love thy neighbor as thyself." And yet it is upon the love that man has for his fellow men that depend all the chances of future peace and happiness. In the first place the struggle for survival that runs through the whole series of plants and animals continues to be a dominant factor in man. One effect of the struggle that must necessarily go on is to create within us a kind of selfishness that can be overcome only by the greatest vigilance and the strongest of will power overcome only by the greatest vigilance and the strongest of will power—a will power that is not acquired all at once, but one that grows stronger day by day because we begin by willing small things. We begin perhaps by allowing ourselves to compliment our companion for his ability along some line; then we gain the strength of will finally to vote him into some office that we ourselves want. Next we learn to know the wrongs of an enemy and continue to treat him kindly. After a while we are ready to sacrifice our most precious pleasures in order that our inhuman may have a taste of joy and happiness. Then after a few cases of failure in periods of retrogression, during which we actually become victims of temptation, we may become strong enough to do something really heroic; for example, give up a good remunerative position because we believe someone else can do the work much better than we can do it. Or we may consent to accept some position of responsibility with little pay because we think we CAN do the work better than others. You can see that some of these things are very hard even for Christians to do, although in so doing they would only be carrying out the golden rule. It is easily seen therefore that being, or rather becoming a Christian, is a matter of discipline. The torrible with solving most problems in life is that we are not willing to start far enough back. We wait until the disease has gained a strong foot-hold, then we use all our energy in vain. There are many who believe that most of the sins of the world are due in a large degree to ill health. More and more are we beginning to realize that crime is the child of diseased bodies and minds. Now, if we are to love God we must want to see IIs creatures brought to perfection. The things we love we strive to cultivate, to improve, to make perfect. Each year men win prizes for the raising of fine specimens of live stock. The United States has a Department of Agriculture to study the growth of plants, their diseases, how to eradicate their enemies, and spends thousands of dollars each year experimenting on how to raise perfect grain; but does not deem it feasible to have a department of health presided over by a cabinet officer. Too little stress has been put upon the importance of raising perfect boys and girls. Very recently we have begun to turn our attention to the perfecting of God's highest creature which Christ commands us to love. A few weeks ago the Kansas City Star published a picture of the coach of the athletic sports at Catlise College and said he was considered a perfect man. It is indeed gratifying to find that after being sure that perfect ears of corn, perfect apples, oranges and cattle are possible we have finally found time to give to the perfecting of physical man. We are beginning to see that some crimes are traceable to a disease which got its start in some more or less remote generation. In order, therefore, to be sure that we may at all times love our neighbors as ourselves we must first put ourselves in the attitude for such conduct by providing suitable habitat for this feeling. Instead of making it our life work to gain fame or to accumulate wealth at whatever cost, wouldn't it be a much better step to choose the helping God to perfect his highest product—first, our own bodies, then to help others to do the same thing? In a short discussion of this subject I am conscious of the fact that I cannot impress upon you the importance of this as a life work, but I have at least perhaps outlined our duty. The definition of a Christian as one who knows and loves God and man is stating in another way what Christ believed the most important thing in the conduct of life. The only things that I have tried to suggest in the application of this definition is that we try more and more to understand God and to become acquainted with Him through His other creatures in order to see how Nature herself works and evolves Her wonderful features—to try earnestly to get in tune with God or Nature—to see not only the beauties of Nature, but more of her truths. Secondly, I have tried to suggest as a way to carry out the second part, namely, to know and love man is first to make it possible to carry out the Golden Rule by preparing a safe and sound shelter for wholesome thoughts, and by helping God to create both loving and lovable men and women. This extremely simple interpretation of Christ's words cannot be preached too often and I hope the time is not far distant when we shall begin with earnestness and enthusiasm its real practice.

Scott, who is the only Negro ever nominated for president of the United States by a properly constituted national delegate convention, representing thirty-seven states in the Union, and who is at present a candidate for minister to the colored republic of Haiti, was today placed on the house payroll here as a janitor. Scott has been working, it was reported, since January 8, without pay. A recommendation by the contingent expense Committee placing half a dozen additional janitors on the payroll, Scott being one of the number, produced a row on the floor at the opening of the session today. The national Liberal party, with four hundred delegates, met at St. Louis in 1904 and nominated Scott for president over three other prominent Negres; J. Milton Turner, of St. Louis; Bishop Alexander Walter, of New Jersey, and J. M. Mitchell, of Tennessee. The above article is intended as a reflection on the colored man that had the courage to stand up and be nominated for President of the U. S. We admire such men who have the courage to stand up for what is due them and strive for whatever they think they are capable of handling. So many Negroes sacrifice their manhood and their rights on account of criticism. We are taxpayers and deserve the rights of any office in township, state or nation. They have killed the Jim Crow bills in Illinois and Ohio. This shows that the white people of the North are not going crazy over the color line. They know that the races are not amalgamating and it is only the Southern white man that live in open adultery and in violation of the law. These are the class that are always passing black laws and make it hard for the honest, upright people of both races. We are sorry to note the death of Bishop W. B. Derrick, who was one of the most intellectual Bishops on the bench. He passed from this life April 15, at his home, known as Bishop's Court, Flushing, N. Y. He lived to a ripe old age and did a great work for the race and church. OSAWATONIE, KAN. Mr. Mack Jones of Kansas City, spent the week end with his mother, Mrs. S. Jones.

Curculie and Codling Moth Are Responsible For Much Damage. Sponsible For Mud Damage. Braying is the chief method of control of curculio and codling moth in apple orchards, but there are a number of other natural or artificial checks. Banding of the trees to capture the descending worms of codling moth as they search for a place for pupation will sometimes capture as high as 40 per cent of the worms upon the tree, but it cannot be considered a practical operation when such far better results can be accomplished by spraying. When bands are used they must be looked after every ten days and the worms destroyed to prevent the moth from maturing and making its escape. If this is not done they will only offer safer hiding places and do more harm than good. They are sometimes useful in trapping the first emerging worms in the summer in order to forecast the date of apparent no of second generation worms. Scruping the rough bank from trees in the spring destroys many bilberry- ing rodding moth larvae, and the screening of cellar windows and doors where wormy fruit or fruit packages are kept, for the capture and destruction of the emerging moths, is sometimes practiced. The destruction of fallen fruit for the purpose ofidding the orchard of rodding moth is not a very effective measure from the fact that the majority of the worms leave the fruit before it falls to the ground. In Ohio it was shown by experiment that THE NEW YORKER Photograph by United States department of agriculture Photograph by United States department of agriculture APPLES DAMAGED BY PLUM CURCULIO. 72 per cent of cooling moth larvae leave the apples either before the apples have fallen or within twenty four hours after. On the other hand, the destruction of windfall apples either by picking up the fruit by hand or pasturing with bugs is adultered. Cultivation of orchards is one of the best procedures for curculio destruction. It keeps the orchard free from many of the desirable illiteration places for the adults, and it uniquely destroys a high percent of the insects in the ground. Shallow cultivations through the months of July and August will crush many larvae and pupae of this insect, which are present in greatest numbers just beneath the surface of the earth at this time. It is possible that cultivation succeeds in destroying some coding moth larvae. The thinning of overloaded trees in the summer is often an opportunity for removing apples bearing these insects, and the destruction of such apples and women at least may prevent their further damage and leave a higher per cent of perfect fruit upon the tree. There are many useful natural insect permutations and other enemies of both curculio and codding moth.—Missouri Bulletin.

Stalwart Methodist Prelate Finally Secumba, Victim of Arteries Hardening—Naval Hero in the Civil War and a National Political Figure in Grant and Greeley Campaign, and a Friend of M'Klnley'. Amsterdam (N. X.) News: Bishop William B. Derrick, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, died at his home in State street, Flushing, Tuesday morning. He was 76 years old. A few months ago he was taken ill on his return from Panama, where he had made arrangements for the election of a church for the colored workers on the canal. Death was due to arterio schlerosis, hardening of the arteries. Bishop Derrick was born on the Island of Antigua, British West Indies where he received his early education. When 17 years old he was sent to England to study. Coming to the United States at the opening of the Civil War, he enlisted in the navy, participating with much gallantry in the battles of Hatter's Inlet and Hampton Roads. At the end of his enlistment he started to prepare for the ministry. He received his first assignment to preach in 1866, and began his work among the emancipated slaves. Bishop Derrick was a campaign orator in the Grant Greeley campaign, and later became known personally to Blaine, Reed, McKinley and other prominent men. His was a potent force for many years in the ranks of the Republican party and in the seventies and eighties and early ninties he was looked upon as the logical colored political leader in the Northern states. In all the party conventions of his prime his eloquent voice was always raised and his party paid obedient heed to his pleadings. He attended several international church congresses and preached the 355th anniversary sermon in the Church of the Martyrs, Canterbury, England. One of his prized possessions was a gold framed resolution, the gift of Edward VII of England, in recognition of a sermon he preached in commemoration of Queen Victoria. He became a bishop in 1896. Bishop Detrick was elected to the bishopric of the African Methodist Episcopal church in 1890 over sixteen other candidates. He received forty-five more votes than the required number, which attested as perhaps nothing else in his life the admiration and esteem of the great Methodist connection for him. In 1888 he purchased the magnificent, stately home which he has occupied ever since and is known far and wide as Bishop's Count. The body will lie in state at Bishop's Court. State street, from Saturday morning, April 19, until Monday morning, April 21. The funeral services will be held Monday at 11 o'clock and the bishops and prominent ministers of the connection will be present at the funeral. A widow, the Bishop's second wife, and two daughters, Misses Minnebelle and Lillian survive him. BURLEIGH MORGAN SOLIST BURLEIGH MORGAN BOLIST According to the written directions of the late J. Pierpont Morgan, Harry A. Burleigh, the eminent baritone soloist of St. George's Episcopal Church, of which the great financier was a leading member, sang "Calvary" at the funeral services. Mr. Burleigh's voice, it is said, never was in finer settle and his condition of the sacred solo made a deep impression on the most distinguished audience gathered. The most recent instance of a colored soloist singing at the bier of a great American was when Neille Brown Mitchell sang the Recessional at the funeral of Weedell Phillips.—Exchange. From the Kansas City Star Not only did Judre Lucas of the circuit court yesterday set inside the deed given by John and Louretta Cranshaw to John H Greer, attorney, but he ordered Greer and Hul R. Lebrecht, asso an attorney, to pay in court飞 6550 they be housed on the Cranshaw property. The court ordered judgment for that amount, less about 435 in taxes and insurance, against the $900 bond which the attorneys had filed with the court to secure a reopening of the case. William Huttig, G. B. Gray and Henry J. Lebrecht are aureties on the bond. The court said it had been plainly shown that the Cranshaws "were overreached" and that "their property was burdened with a burden they knew nothing of nor ever consented to." In court when the decision was announced was John B. Gauge, member of the grievance committee of the Bar Association. A few minutes before giving his opinion, Judge Lucas had allowed John I. Walthamson, president of the Bat Association, $75 as fees in the Mohenschild divorce case, which was on trial for two days, and in which depositions were taken. The fee charged the Cranshaws was $400 and the suit has not come to trial. As attorneys for Greer and Lebrecht had argued that the court had nothing to do with setting the fee, Judge Lucas made no order in that regard, except to order the total amount to be paid in court. This means that Greer and Lebrecht will have to have a fee allowed by the court in the divorce case proper, or will have to go to law to collect, by civil action, from the Crunsaws. Last October, the Cranshaws agreed to separate. The wife went to see Greer and he called Iobrecht into the case. It was agreed that the wife should get the $2,500 home and the husband $100. A loan for the latter amount was to be put on the place. The Cranshaws, however, made a warranty deed to Greer, who then borrowed $850 on the place. Of this, $400 was retained as fee, taxes were paid and Cranshaw was offered $888 as the balance. He refused to take it and his wife refused to take a deed from Greer, conveying the property to her. She said she and her husband had become reconciled and that the loan was not to be made. This notice, she said, had been given prior to the making of the loan. Suit was then brought and the deed set aside by default, the attorneys not appearing. Then the case was reopened and contested, and the decision of yesterday resulted Judge Lucas said; "This case clearly exemplifies one of the unpleasant duties that a judicial officer has to perform. There are not only charges made against officers of the court here—licensed attorneys—but the protection of property rights is involved Negroer Over-Reached. "Now no witness has testified that John Cranshaw was ever told of any mortgage of any such an amount as was made on that property, or any such a fee as was proposed to be charged in the case, as was contemplated for the wife, and the only thing that was ever said to him was the discussion in regard to the amount that he would take, and let the wife keep the property, and that was $400, and then the only reference that was made to him in regard to the deed of trust to be put on the property; so he was left virtually with the understanding that the property to he returned to his wife was only to bear the deed of trust, $400, which was to be turned over to him, if he went out of the property; and as soon as he learned there was a contemplation of getting a larger loan he at once took steps to repudiate the transaction entirely; and I am satisfied from the evidence the lawyers were notified before the loan was completed, that these parties no longer deserved that loan, and it terminated the desire to have the proceedings proceed any further if it meant the practical wiping out of their property." "Of course, if these charges are commemorate with the value of the services, charged by the time that was consumed there, attorneys whose time is that valuable ought not to be handling colored people's divorce suits, but send them to some other less fortunate people who would be glad to handle them at a less figure, I anticipate. "But in reviewing all the evidence the court cannot come to any other conclusion than that those colored people were overreached in the transaction there, and did not understand the situation that was prevailing, and that their property was burdened with a burden that they never consented to or knew anything about, and I see no other decree that the court can enter than one restoring them their property, getting inside this deed that was made Deed to be Canceled. "The degree of the court will be that this warranty deed or proposed warranty deed will be canceled, and the amount of the loan for which this property was encumbered, be entered as a judgment against defendants, and that money is to be paid into county; the debt of trust, also the note, will by the Waltrip McMullen Realty Company, is to be brought in, and that money paid over on that, and that deed of trust canceled. The relief so far as the Whipple McMillan Realty Company are concerned, will go to that effect, that they must bring in this note and apply this money on it, and let the deed of trust be taken up. I don't think these people should be burdened with that loan, running for the time it runs and the Whipple McMillan Realty Company cannot lose anything by having it canceled, of course, they lose the extension of the time that it is supposed to run, but they must bring it in and let it be canceled when this money has been paid that has been put on there. "And in regard to the items of expense that were paid out. The item for procuring the extension of the abstract and the insurance and the taxes may be deducted from the amount paid in, in other words, then, they have credit for these amounts they are matters which the owner of property receives all the benefits for, anyhow. That will be the way the decree will be entered." WOMENS CLUBS TO MEET WOMENS CLUBS TO MEET. The State Federation of Women's clubs will meet at Lawrence, Kansas, June 18 and 19.

Otis L. Benton, who was appointed by the government to look after Indian Affairs, headquarters at Washington, D. C.

Mr. Benton was a prominent business man of Oberlin, Kansas. He was president of the Benton and Hopkins Investment Co. Down in Coahoma, Mississippi, a cultured Negro girl was forced to leave her home by the threats of a lusting brute; a white man who used every means to take the advantage of the girl. He sent her notes every hour in the day to meet him. The young lady would not consent to do, so the brute went to the mother of the girl and threatened to shoot them both or burn their home. The mother planned and got the girl away. The above incident is one of common occurrence and only shows the insults and humiliations that are forced upon woman's virtue, under a black skin, and who has no power whatever to look to for protection. The eyes of the law are always turned from such cases as this and they go on unpunished, only to inspire other white butts to do the same. We see where a little island away off in the sea called Japan has made a great nation like the U. S. stand up and take notice that they will not be imposed upon or stand for any mistreatment of their citizens in this country. We cannot understand how a little handful of Japs in California or various parts of the U. S. can compel any state to refrain from passing any laws infringing upon their right as men, when the colored citizens, who were born here of parents who served the white people of this country but this as theirs cannot demand the least respect from the lowest white man in this country. Japan is contending against any discrimination against the whites in the oriental country. We hope that the demands of the Japanese government will have a wholesome effect on the white people of this country who are so fanatic on passing black laws PILLSBURG, KANSAS.

Job Work Prices Reasonable Secret of Mysterious Power Revealed at Last. HOW PROMINENT PEOPLE HAVE GAINED WEALTH AND POPULARITY. Simple Method That Enables Ante- to Control Thoughts and Acts of Others, Cure Disease and Habits Without Drugs, and Read the Secret Desires of People. Though Tousands of Miles Away. WONDERFUL BOOK DESCRIBING THIS STRANGE FORCE AND A CHARACTER DELINEA- TION POST FREE TO ALL WHO WRITE The National Institute of Science has appropriated $25,000 toward a fund for the free distribution of Book Knowles' new book, "The Key to the Development of the Inner Force." Development The book lays bare many as tounding fact concerning the practices on Eastern Yogi and explains a wonderful system for the development of Personal Magnetism, Hypnotic and Telepathic Powers, and the curing of diseases and habits without drugs. The subject of practical char acter reading is also extensively dealt with, and the author describes a simple method of J. accurately reading the secret thoughts and desires of others, though thousands of miles away. The almost endless stream of letters requesting copies of the book and character delicacies indicates clearly the universal interest in Physchological and Occult Sciences. "Rich and poor alike benefit by the teachings of this new system," says Prof. Knowles, "and the person who wishes to achieve greater success has but to apply the simple rules laid down." That many wealthy and prominent people owe their success to the power of Personal Influence there is not the slightest doubt, but the great mass of people have remained in utter ignorance of these phenomena. The National Institute of Sciences has therefore undertaken the somewhat arduous task of distributing broadcast, without regard for class or creed, the information herefore possessed by the few. In addition to supplying the books free, each person who writes at once will also receive a character delineation of from 100 to 500 words as prepared by Prof. Knowles. If you wish a copy of Prof. Knowles' book and a Character Delimitation, simply copy the following verse in your own handwriting: "I want power of mind, Force and strength in my look. Please read my character And send me your book." Also send your full name and address (state whether Mr. Mrs. or Mrs. write plurally, and address your letter to: National Institute of Science, Dept. 356, No. 258, Westminster Bridge-road, London, S.

A jury in the district court of Shawnee county returned a verdict of "not guilty" Saturday of last week in the Case of State vs. Andrew Wallace, charged with the murder of Miss Mable Morris. They were out from Friday evening until Saturday evening. They first stood nine for conviction and three for acquittal, but after the testimony had been thoroughly gone over, they found that the evidence was conflicting concerning the time she boarded a car at Sixth and Kansas avenue, and the time she was seen at the Rock Island depot, and now they are just as far from finding and punishing the the guilty party or parties as they were when her body was found in the Kaw river, near the Sardou bridge. We blame the officers for not using more diligence and making a more thorough search for the guilty party or parties, for when such crimes as this go unpunished it works a hardship upon the community and inspires others to commit atrocious deeds. A DESERVED PROMOTION Mr. Charles G. Lytle, who served under Capt. Wintrode as deputy marshall of the court of Topeka, and under Col. J. D. Norton as deputy sheriff and was serving as deputy marshall of the court of Topeka under Geo. B. Frost, resigned that position Wednesday, and was immediately appointed as a member of the city detective force by Col. J. W. P. Hughes, chief of police. Mr. Lytle has made a most efficient officer and this promotion, entirely unsought, comes as a fitting climax to his brilliant record. The position was virtually tendered him on a silver platter, and we venture the prediction that Mr. Lytle will add dignity and honor to the position. He was reared and educated in Topeka, and as business man, friend, neighbor, citizen and officer of the law, none are better. --- The only evidence against Wallace was that he was the last person seen with her alive, on the fatal Sunday evening preceding her disappearance. The public is divided on the question of Wallace's guilt or innocence, which bears no weight whatever in the eyes of the law. --- Mr. and Mrs. O. G. Alexander and son, LeRoy, left Los Angles, Cali, one day last week for Vancouver, B. C., via San Pedro, San Francisco and Seattle. They left Frisco on the steamer, Pueblo, and was met in Seattle by Mrs. Anita DeMoss, a sister, who spent two days in showing them that city and afterwards accompanied them to Canada to become British subjects. We are pleased to note that Miss. Kate Boswell, of Saint Louis, Mo. has purchased a fine seven room house on Garfield avenue in that city. Mrs. Boswell is a great Christian worker; in chairman of the Board of Baptist Women's Union of her city and is also supervisor of the Second District B Y P. U., and also of the Fourth.

If near a good cash market-say a city of 20,000 to 30,000-a general line of garden truck may be raised. A load 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 directly 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 produce that is used and instead of running a dairy it will be better to rob 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 grain boiler quit business in the city a few years ago to engage in flower raising. He wished to try life an entire life. Being a practical man he decided to get a good fish income, so he bought twenty acres and went in for rentations and esters. To keep up soil fertility drain the land thoroughly cultivate well, rotate systematically with frequent use of clover, use all the herbard manure and apply some plant horus. - Farm Press QUINCES A PAYING CROP. One Man Thinks They're Worth Ten Times as Much as Apples. Two acres of quinces ought to make more money for the farmer than twenty acres of apples, according to Professor J. Whitten, a well known authority on horticulture. "The quince is more neglected in proportion to its merits than any of our orchard fruits," he said. "Nobody ever saw an overplus 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 fruit is the finest we have to ship, the most handsome and the best keeper." According to Professor Whitten quince growing has never had a boom THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK Photograph by Long Island agriculture experiment station FINE SPECIMEN OF ORIGIN "This is because the quince grows on ordinary treatment, as most of our apples and other fruits are grown, does not have a good flavor and is poor in quality. "The trees must have individual care and expert treatment. It requires the problem skill to select the right site for the orchard. If properly handled pruning, spraying and tucking are easier than in our other orchards. "When cultured the quince is the host of our cure or snow fruits. But pre- serves, jellies and the like the quince is the richest, most highly flavored and the most delicious fruit we have." Alfalfa Without Baccala? It seems that the department of agriculture in its world-wide search for varieties has discovered an alfalfa which produces rilizomes. A rilizome is an underground stem, like that of hermannia grunn and quack grunn, by which the plant is able to reproduce itself without seeds. If this is true it is enormously important The Maryland experiment station builts that印刷 greenhouse hot water pipes with concentrated light pulp and evaporating the fine pulp in open containers controls mildew or greenhouse roses. THE LITTLE PAY By C. C. BOWSFIELD In four months from the time he had secured his land this practical business man was shipping carnations to the city market. One greenhouse covering nearly an acre had been put up, and a large steam heating plant was being installed. The latter feature was in working order before winter set in. Two dwell ing houses were also put up. As soon as his help was well organized and accustomed to the work at hand another large greenhouse was erected. 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 enjoying an income of $1,000 per month. It is probably true that when a larger proportion of trained business men turn their attention to tilling the soil there will be greater financial results and less waste of land. When men take hold of farming in earnest they will work the soil for all there is in it. Just as they conduct stores and in stores. The American farmer is industrious, frugal and intelligent, and yet, as a rule, he does not farm on business principles. It has acquired his textile trade too easily, and the handling of three men his best business and most confidence. The new way that I am trying to tell about is to in the twenty five to forty acres produce the same results that before have been gained from 10 to 200 acres I would cut out the long hours of drudgery and make the business of farming tolerable to young people of ambition and spirit. This is the improvement needed in American rural life. The day is coming when farms will breed their seed corn as carefully as the best farmers now make their animals. This means a breeding plot for every farm - Country gentleman. --- "BIDDY'S LUNCH COUNTER." Dry, Clean Trough is a Necessity in Every Henhouse. One of the greatest needs in a hen house is a dry clean trough for feeding shell grit, bran on the dry ration. The man who has a rolled house can try my methods and I'll guarantee he WALL ATTACHED FEED THROUGH [From Orange Judd Farmer] will like it, says a correspondent of the Orange and Farmer. Cut through the ceiling board between the studdling and take out the board. Put two small hinges on it, replace and fix a button to hold it in place. Next cut a slit about two inches wide and nearly to the studdling on both sides, about a foot above the floor. Insert a trough running back and slanting to the out side of the clapboard. Allow the front edge of the trough to come a little above the opening in the wall so the food will not overrun. With a coal scuttle the trough may be easily filled, and the bens cannot waste or get on top of the trough and foul it. I have three in my house for grit, shell and bran during the winter. Where one feeds grains and thinks it best to keep a hopper before the fowls all the time this plan will be liked, as it takes up no room whatever. If one's home is not called the boxes may be put on the outside of the house with drought running through. The tops of the boxes should shant on the rain will run off. Those of course will have to be filled from the outside. With this plant the food drops down as fast as the beans remove it from the drought. DAIRY DOINGS. Beware of the coughing cow. Labor voles is found most frequently in the lungs and throat passages. Carrots in some Massachusetts tests were used to replace a part of the hay ration supplied to cows. They in crease the yield of milk more than corn village. Do not let the horns grow on the young heifer calves.

Industry without it is the do not win into one without industry because the win and the two to win must be coupled with perseverance to its must be honesty in doing with one's not-libs that make friends for life. WHITEWASH FOR FARMS. The Australians use a whitewash cloth less absorbent will not rob off. It is important to the following manner: Describe two parts of ordinary glue to soak pints of water and when all is dry and hold six ounces of bleached potassium dissolved in a pint of water. Stir the mixture up and the old sufficient whitening to make it up to the usual consistency and apply with a brush in the ordinary manner as quickly as possible. This dress in a very short time and by the stir of light to most converted into a perfectly insoluble waterproof substance which does not wash off even with hot water and at the same time does not give rise to mold growth. An white wash make 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 consult report states that a traveler in the rural districts of Uruguay will be struck by the fine white color of the farm buildings even during the wet season. This neat effect is secured by the use of a whitewash prepared by浸渍 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 utilised with advantage in this manner. The effect is durable. PRINTING These whitewashes, like all those which contain milk, flour, glue or other organic matter, are not recommended for use in damp, interior places. Hoard's Dulry man Roller Gate. A farm gate sixteen feet long, as it should be to get through easily with a hayrack, it too heavy to slide easily. There is a cast iron roller made for the purpose and sold in hardware stores. The cut shows how it is fastened to the posts so the gate slides halfway back. In a long gate there is always a center piece up and down with a diagonal brace running from the center in the ```markdown ``` ROLLER GATE. the center to the front end of the gate. The posts are mortised to let in a two inch block, and the casting that holds the roller is let into this block and an iron wash or all-ped over the bolt so the casting will turn easily.—Farm Press Encellent Horse Rules. Excellent Horse Rules. No horse should stand on a cement door. This is an axiom insisted on by all who know much about breeding following are others, and they are excellent. Every horse should have clean building and his feet picked out and kept clean. There is no excuse for thrush. Have no mangers and feed hay off the ground. Feed grain out of a pail or portable feed box that may be removed when the horse has finished. Keep the horse clean and be sure he has feed, light, rest and exercise. No man has a better right to stand up squarely and look the world squarely in the eye than the farmer. He is the creator of this nation's wealth. Stand up so the back of your neck will touch your collar.—King as Farmer. The Hive In Winter. Either the blue entrance should be too shallow for a mouse to intrude or it should be protected by wire cloth having three meshes to the inch. The essentials of successful bee wintering are good stores, warmth and hives. Do not place bees in clumps upon low ground where the bottom boards will become damp and remain so all winter. Place the branches upon dry ground raised up on 2 by 4's or upon blue stands. A southern slope with shelter 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 door. This is a positive advantage to the fire ones and in a large measure prevents the air of the cellars from becoming bad—Farm Journal. =
