No community that tolerates such wutrages ishould be permitted to stand. Whcre there is no law the people fall, suys the proverb, so Iet us meet fite with fire. If one crowd can lynch and burn human beings, why cant another crowd burn and destroy the property of these same people that participated inthe crime. When the law is power- less, let the people act. No city or town should be allowed to exist on such a reputation. Sodom and Gc morah fell fur just such acts, Get guns, shoot into thee mobs. (They can be stopped if the officers and court so desired, As long as Okla- homa permits such thugs and thieves to run the state, s0 long will she be the dumping ground for criminals. No decent progiessive citizens in any great number will locate within her borders. People will not settle where mob rule predominates, How long will this condition of affairs be allowed to continue? It is the courts of the country that are re- sponsible for these outrages, Ag soon a3 they decide that the law shall apply to all ake, then will the colored man become a citizen. We Jook for the solution through the Jap-| anese coutroverrery. They will not stand the white man's abuse, nor will they stand for anything less than a man’s chance—the same that is de- manded and aecejved by those of other races, s0 the colored man is awakening to this and MUST sooner or later come into his rights. Now. when the scrapings of the white race can get first-class treatment on rail- road trains, how under high Heaven can a decent, respectable, educated colored man, who pays the same fare be expected to submit to anything, leos than that accorded to other men?

On cross examination Attorney Bert ‘Van Leuven, who appeared for the defendants brought out the fact that with the possible exception of Daniels and Fields, none of the defendants were anywhere near the Ballentine farm when the rioting occurred. Deputy Wade Kivett told of finding Daniels in a barn after he was wound. ed and also told of the shooting which occurred at the Ballentine faim. He said that he did not see any Negroes at the place of the shooting and es- tamated the crowd of white men at 75. C.

There are 92,000,000 people in Un- cle Sam's domain—t0,000,000 Ne- grees and 42,000,000 foreigners, and these people are different in ideas from the real American, This coun- try has more to fear at the hands of the foreigners than that of making discriminating laws against the Ne- gro.

SAMPSON'S The great work which has beer carried on by the Rev, W. Sampsor Brooks, pastor of the St. Paul A, M E. church, St Louis, Mo, deserves great commundation. We think g man with such rate ablity should be at the head of this gieat Christian or. ganization und we want it destinetly understood that The Plaindealer 4 In favor of anahing him a bishop in the A. M. 1. church, and every loyal Christian, layman, mini-ter and bish- op should vote with that intention at the next General Conference. When a minister can taise $25,000 within two years and $7,541.15 within three months, he certamly bean hammer. To do this one must have great person: alny, alone with business sigacity and plenty of vim and push, His equal has not twen found on earth, heneath the carth or above the earth. This great church has been groan- ing under the burden of debt for nearly a half century, and nt least for the last quarter of a century, and there have been several ministers sent there to reduce the debt, but in- stead of a reduction, the debt hept in- creasing, fo such an extent that in forty yearn*they have paid out about $50,000 in interest. This is a mistake that is so often made among our pco- ple. There Is no reascn why a well oianized church should be burdened with debt from one year to the other, and constantly increasing, instead of decreasing, and would not be if the money was properdly invested, We ure told that Rev, Brooks will turn the mortgage on his church next) August, the balance beine $2,00000, Ict every one in the North, South, East and West sing praises to Rev, W Sampson Brooks, who iy the hero of the day in church work, and who is surpassed by no mumster of the rave of any denomination, and has but few equals tmorg the wine Now let the members of the A, M. E. church, laymen and bisops tay aside all personal feeling and elect him to the bishopric at the neat General Conference, and The Plaindealer vill always be foun! fichting the bats of such men. The great trouble with our people is when a man hke Rev, Brooks maher good they let petti- forgers pull them down. He has teached the tap round of the Indder, in «church work anid there is nothing else to do but give him the huhest ponor in the gift of the church, Tls reputation a3 a pulpit orator cannot je surpassed and when he speaks he draws all men unto him.

On the first day of May, 1780, the constitution of the Supreme Council of Sovereign Grand Inspectors General of the Y3d and fast degree were al- leged to have granted at Berlin, Prus- ‘sia, But no Supreme Council of the Soverelen Grand Inspectors General was ever established of this grade in the world until after this date. Pre- viously the Deputy Inspector General was charged with the high powers and duties now vested in the Supreme Councils and the grand bodies under them. In the new vonstitutloons this high power was lodged in a Supreme Council composed of nine Sovereign Grand Inspectors General for each nation which possessed all the Mas sonle prerogatives in their respective districts or states, while two Supreme Councils were provided for in the United States of America, with equal powers in thelr respective jurisdic. tions. The first Supreme Council ever established under this new constitu. tion was in 1786 In Charleston, S. C., whuse jurisdiction extended constl- tutionally over the whole United States until they constituted the North and South Supremt Councils, Then the North and South jurisdie- inns were geographically defined, In 1881 a Council of deliberation wits called in the city of New York, vomnposed of Scottish Rite Masons holding Patents of the 33d and last degiee. After an exchange of Pat+ ents on the part of individual Scottish Rite Masons then present, showing each to be on equal Masonle standing and pretegatives, S. G. I. G. of the std and last degree, they, after due deliberation, proclaimed the United Supreme Councils of the North and South Jurisdictions of the 33d and last degree with powers concurrent, and geographically defined, of which Illustrious James Rickards, 33d of Detroit, Mich, is at present M.

Whose who stand in high places of moral and intellectual nd- Vancement gumong the people ought to be the exponents of the highest in- telligence and character and material moxiens, ‘The condition of the col- ored man in this country presenta un- Houted opportunities fraught with infinite possibilities for the develop: ment of the race's natural resources, Let none imagine that because a peo- ple ix partlally ignorant and lowly that their moral and intellectual lead- ers do not require all the discipline, learning, culture and practical wisdom that the most complete education can afford The more Ignorant the led, the more slulled and xagacious should be the Teaters, Scottish Rute Masonry Is not an anslum to domicile social drones or visionary dreamers, but a fraternity of the most profound thinkera of the Wilent practical applicabitity, A hody of men thus constituted and recing the needs of thelr people should avail themalves of every opportunity to muniater unto their necessity, There his been much spoken and written on What some are pleased to term the “Race Problem.’ But this, like other M-founded theoiles that have error for their basis, can never be success: fully combaited with argument of enlightened reason, because it {a Dlind to light, and bereft of reason. ‘| There haa arisen in this country i: [recent years between the white an } the colored people an acute condition | This condition which has grown ou Jot the spirit of commercialism, hat robbed the people of the sweetnes: of their lives. Wherever its powet and influence, whether in lodge ot church or state, ts felt its reign has been a rule wrought of iron rathes than one of compassion. Wherever these conditions obtain you may expect, especially sur. rounding a people that is disposed to be timid, that they are most likely to be made to feel the effect of this demoralizing and degrading influence more keenly than their more favored brother. Hence, in the North this opposition to colored men finds its potential influence in the social and Industrial activities; while in the South this opposition is almost pure- ly social and political, This twin condition imposes upon the leaders of the race a double responsibility, It is in effect a demand upon their abil- ity and capacity to devise means that will secure to the colored man a more equitable, social, political and indus- trial consideration, It fs evident, as a fact in the body, politic of American affairs, that the: white man has grown tired of further care of the colored man. He has grown to be a social burden, a politi. cal parasite and an undesirable in- dustrial associate. In fact, he has never been regarded as much of a social factor, and has long since been eliminated from the political equation. All of this in the face of the race's rapid progress, This statement of facts should have but one significance to all fair-minded, Intellizent colored men: [What they onght, at any cost t> themselves, by ca panized effort and concerted action, retieve the white man of further responsibility of our burden, Fifty years are euf- ficient for any child to nurse. There ought to be u weaning time, some where and at some place. We may wonderfully imprdve our condition and yet command iespectful consid- eration, by iieing up hke men, put- ting forth determinate effort in an or- ganized intelligent manner, with the means at our command for the bet-| terment of our people. You may think as you will, if this race attains to any appreciable height it muet be carried aloof by the character, in- telligence and money voluntarily con- tributed by colored men. This happy solution finds ite best expression in the ability of the race to grasp pres- ent opportunities for future needs. Our corporate institutions are £0 formed and constituted, notably our trust companies, that any man of or- dinary intelligence, after havine suce cessfully performed the duties as- signed him, may step into any of the fovernmental depaitenents of like character and discharge the functions of his office with honor to his country and credit to himself. Demonstrated experience and fitness in large pri- vate affairs is evidence of qualifica- tions to discharge public trusts. The absence of any appreciable number of large businesses success- fully captalized and conducted by colored men, especially of a corporate character, is traceable the cause why coloved men ae denicd recognition in party councils and never consulted relative to gover:mental policies or called upon to fill adminetrative of- fies, A people who cannot organize themselves Into corporate capacities is hardly fit to Fit in councils of the state o r nation or preside over the destinies of others, The corporate laws of the several states and nation afford the widest poxsililities at the! smallest individual cost for any peor ple to evidence thelr fullest capacity for self-government, Our territorial jurisdiction 1s Lound- ed on the north by the Dominion of Canada, cart hy the Atlante Ocean, south by a patallel line coinciding with the Ohio Raver, and the wort by the Pacific Ocean, Missouri and Cal- ifoinia excepted.

By chance your paper reached my desk and after carefully looking it over I remembered your paper like a top, and saw the names of many of my old friends, and knowing the great power of your paper and a strong man behind it, and noting the spunk of your reply to old "Pitch-fork" Ben. Tillman, I am prompted to say, "Bully for you!" Only a few more brave boys who are not afraid to sing or talk or pray are needed. By the way, I am on the edge of the world and preaching for life in the "baby" state—lifting up my voice for Jesus. I have been here two months. We have the sunshine, but everything is lovely. The churches are doing fairly well for a new country. If I can help your paper some among the colored here I am at your service. I see two or three people here who take your paper, but none of them seem to talk of its excellent qualities. The paper is just the thing for these people as it broad-guaged, fair and liberal, with a good fighter at its head. May the Lord bless you and your noble work.

Ragen, pastor of the Second Baptist church, Mrs. A. E. Shackelford, and Mrs. R. B. Perkerson were delegates to the National Sunday School Congress at Muskogee, Okla., recently. They were joined at Arkansas City by other delegates and a delightful time was experienced on the trip, and occupied a special car from that point on. All report a successful meeting. Rev. Ragen met many of his old acquaintances, all wanting him to come home, but he is very well satisfied in the Sunflower state. BALDWIN. KANSAS. Mrs. Elizabeth Porter was born at Knobnoster, Mo, Sept. 12, 1863, and died at Lawrence, Kansas, May 21, 1913, aged 49 years, 8 months, and 9 days. About twenty-nine years ago she came to Baldwin. She was a member of the Baptist church, a consistent worker and ever found at her post, always willing to give her time, money and talent. She was a faithful wife and a loving mother, and took special pride in beautifying her home. Her kind words and deeds won for her the respect and admiration of both white and colored, of which a deluge of floral offerings was a tribute. Rev. J. M. Brown of Lawrence preached a most sympathetic and appealing funeral discourse, admonishing all to live as the deceased, thus making a record esteemed by all. Most beautiful music was rendered during the service by the white quartet. She leaves a husband, Mr. Sydney C. Porter, one daughter, Mrs. N. J. Stokes, Paola, Ks, a sister, Mrs. Amy Smith, Lincoln, Neb., and three brothers, Mr. Charles Huff, Kansas City, Mo, Mr. Henry Huff, Warrensburg, Mo, Mr. Lilburn Huff, Lincoln, Neb. Her last words were "All is well." Interment at Oakland cemetery, leaving only a mound of flowers. "Face to face, Oh blissful moment! Face to face, to see and know; Face to face with my Redeemer, Jesus Christ, who loves me so." Rev. N. J. Stokes of Paola, spent a few days in Baldwin visiting his wife. Mrs. Anna Lowry and daughter were down from Lawrence Decoration Day. Card of Thanks. We wish to thank relatives and friends for their kindness and sympathy during the illness of our faithful wife and loving mother, Mrs. Bettie Porter; also for the beautiful floral offerings. MR. SYDNEY PORTER, MRS. JOSEPHINE STOKES, REV. N. J. STOKES. Nowata is not on a boom, but quite a lot of building is going on. The First Baptist people will soon be in their new building. When completed it will be the finest colored church in the city. The Second Baptist church has just completed the steeple of their church and it adds greatly to the appearance of the structure. The Pastor's Case Again. Since our last writing the actions of A. Jones, pastor of the Second Baptist church, by running the church in a monarchial form, has succeeded in turning out enough members and those who were disgusted and quit to give him a chance to organize a new body called a Christian church. We that are members and own our homes here must suffer this treatment for falling too pay three months' dues, such were recommended by said A. Jones, when he refused to pay $83.00 house rent, claiming that his wife rented the house. Mrs. Jones made many friends while here in the last sixty days. She left this town in good standing, but the pastor refused to recommend her with a letter when she asked for one and even opposed it. Preachers must do better or hunt new fields. We want ministers of the gospel who are Christian gentlemen, and not mere shysters who can bleat and spout wind and make a great noise, but have as much education and religion as would make a mere speck on a gnat's heel. We do not need the kind that believes God is asleep or deaf, and that it takes yelling to make God aware of his presence on earth. J. J. ROSE. WICHITA, KANSAS.

The party returned to the city in the wee hours of morn on a hayrick, which was the finishing touch to their evening's merriment. The Ladies Shamrock club closed for the season Tuesday, June 10th, with a picnic at Wilson's Summer Garden. There were about twenty-five guests present and the ladies had some very beautiful art work on exhibition. Mrs. Burton received first prize for the best work, and Mrs. Wilson received two prizes, one for the most work and one for the best attendance. Mrs. Edmonds received a prize for good attendance. Mrs. Wilson awarded her second prize to Mrs. Bradhaw for good work. The ladies of the club have donated $10,00 this year for charity, besides numerous personal gifts.

THE NEGRO EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS AND ITS OBJECT! Any movement that has for its end and aim the betterment of mankind, is deserving of more than a passing consideration by the people. To become a greater factor in the activities of American life, and a larger contributor to its growth and prosperity, is the home of the members of the Negro National Educational Congress, of opposition to the Negro, as a citizen and a man, be on the increase, there must exist some cause or reason for such opposition—the location and elimination of which is one of the tasks that we have undertaken. We shall be pleased to have the good will and hearty operation of all who are in sympathy with the race, strugling against great odds—endeavoring to teach a higher sphere in man's civilization. By thrift, honesty, industry, economy, intelligence, and good deportment, coupled with greater reverence for law and the responsibilities of citizenship, we hope to win and hold the respect and confidence of the people. The Congress—Its Object. The Negro National Educational Congress, called to meet in Kansas City, Mo, July 15 to 19, 1913, will devote its entire time to working out some plan whereby conditions of the race may be bettered. During his half century of freedom the Negro has made marked progress along all lines of human endeavor, and the hope of the race lies in his ability to make greater strides in the future. This Congress will concern itself not only with the affairs of the men and women of the race of today, but seek to so guide and direct the youth that they may be better prepared than were their fathers and mothers to enter into all of the activities of citizenship and national life. It is not the purpose of this Congress to supercede, displace, or usurp the plan of any other movement having for its object the betterment of the race, but rather to contribute all possible support in the same direction. To find some ground of mutual sympathetic and harmonious cooperation upon which the races may work for the common good, is an effort rich in possibilities and worthy of the time and energy devoted to its development, as intended through this movement. If this Congress succeeds only in awakening interest and changing conditions along ONE or TWO neglected lines it will have well rewarded each and everyone who contributed to its success. As it is one of the penalties of intelligence to burden its possessor with increased responsibilities to one's fellowman, and as the means of developing a higher type of useful and self-relying citizenship becomes the more apparent as the race advances intellectually, the men, and women of today cannot escape their indebtedness to their less fortunate neighbors and to their own posterity. The following address was issued at the Saint Louis convention in 1910. It was prepared by a committee of the most thoughtful and intellectual men of the race. It should find a place in every Negro home in the land: An Address to the American People Issued by the Negro National Educational Congress, Held at Saint Louis, August 25, 26 and 27, 1910. "We the delegates to the Negro National Educational Congress, commissioned by the President of the United States and the governors of the states which they represent, to assemble in convention and earnestly to consider the ideals which should determine and control the thought and deeds of the people whom we represent, congratulate our country upon its era of peace and prosperity. "While the country is at peace and is prosperous, there are, nevertheless, many grave problems claiming the attention of all serious Americans, among which is the relationship of all mankind under the flag. "We declare our faith in the democratic from of society in which we live. No other form of society guarantees to the individual the requisite freedom for the maturing of his power for great public service, and at the same time secure to the individual the fruits of his own toil. "Believing that a democratic form of society requires for its members in all things that make for good government, rightous civic life, commerce and industrial property, we regard equality of opportunity as the sacred guarantee of a democratic unity to each and all the members. "We affirm our faith in the following declaration of principles: "We believe that the owning of property gives the people amortage in the community life, that it develops a consciousness of manhood and womanhood, and that each ownership has moral value since it implies thrift, morality and a sense of responsibility. It makes one an alert, useful and cautious citizen in his community. Let each American own his own home, "We believe that the school has been established by county for its own preservation. The needs by society require that the largest and fullest training shall be given to those men and women who are to be the leaders of the people. At the same time no child should be denied the opportunity of the best possible elementary education, act impaired by such form of manual training as may be suited to its strength and degree of development. We further believe that vocational training should find a place in all secondary education. "We believe that the best interests of society are promoted by giving to each of its members an equal chance to participate in the political, commercial or industrial life of the patton. Each individual should be "APEX" THEATRE 302 Kansas Avenue. MOTION PICTURES 5c----ADMISSION----5c 3--EVENING SHOWS--3 :: 3--REELS--3 H. O. ABBOTT M. A. OGILSVIE FRANK R. WILSON permitted to work where he can work best and may secure the largest return for society and for himself. Efficiency and trustworthiness are the qualifications for good service, and these should be recognized among all classes of men. "We believe that the new call, 'Back to the farm,' should become universal. Brain, brawn, a few acres and faith in God are calculated to make any man happy. The rural home, the rural school and the rural church should be made attractive to the youth of the rural community in order that they may be kept from the crowded cities, where are found the sunken multitudes, sleeped in crime with lost vittue, without purpose and without hope. "We believe in the spread of temperance as a result of a seed-sowing of a quarter of a century. Only a sober and temperate people can hope for good health, long life and happy homes. "We believe that disease and crime are far too prevalent among the people, but these must be scientifically studied and proper preventive measures adopted. The hygienic and sanitary conditions must be intrusted to trained officials, and the administration of justice must be committed to unprejudiced men. "But the church with her kindred institutions, without regard to parish and denominational lines, must adjust herself in every preventive and rescue measure to the actual needs of the people in order to save them. Simple, busy lives, in neat, sunny homes, with a crown for idleness, will greatly lessen both disease and crime. "Any kind of legislation which wrongs one member of society must ultimately wrong all. The common carriers in some parts of the country, which make ample provision for one part of the traveling public, fail to provide for another part and suffer ladies and children to be placed in the most indictment situations, wrong the entire body of society." "We indicate any qualifications for suffrage which will give an orphanate electorate. We condemn any legislature or practice which prescribes a qualification for one voter that does not apply to all. Such a dental or control undemocratic and traught with mischief. "We do believe that the press of the country, whether daily or weekly, or monthly, exerts immense influence frequently, however, the power of the press is abused. This Congress, while approving of any and all measures giving freedom to the press, insists that a race should not be held responsible for the crime of an individual of that race by the practice so commonly in vogue in the American press of almost invariably mentioning the race stock of certain races in connection with the crimes of individuals of those races, thus indicating the race as well as the individuals, or at least creating a presumption in the public mind against the race so insulted."

Mr. Patterson has just received notice of his appointment by Gov. Hodges as a delegate to the National Negro Educational Congress. Mr. Wm. Gardner, a highly respected citizen of this city, died early Monday morning at his home on N. 5th street. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the chapel of Undertaker Jno. W. Jones, 440 State Ave. Rev. M. I. Warfield officiated. The members of St. Paul's Chapel, C. M. E. church, gave a reception last Monday evening for the Golden Eagle club, in appreciation of the good work of this club in raising money for the rally. A very nice programme was rendered, after which ice cream, cake and punch were served. The Ministers' Alliance met Monday at the Metropolitan Baptist Baptist church, Rev. J. M. Booker presiding. The most interesting feature of the program was the presence of Miss Cora Annis, of Cleveland, Ohio, head of the Galeda classes of the N. B. S. S. convention. She explained the work of the Galedas. Election of officers will be held at the next meeting Monday June 23. The State Federation of clubs convened last Wednesday morning at Lawrence. A large number of delegates from Kansas City are in attendance, among whom are: Mrs. O. B. Johnson, Mrs. Scott, Miss Marie Johnson, Mrs. Isaacs, Mrs. Jacobs, Mrs. D. W. White, Mrs. S. M. Banks, Mrs. I. F. Bradley, Mrs. Ethyl Weeden King, Mrs. Nellie Holloway and Mrs. Eona Berry Swain. Rev. and Mrs. James E. Richards, 1027 Minnesota avenue entertained at 6 o'clock dinner on June 13 for Rev. W. Bannon, of Canon City, Colo. Miss Ruth Bradley entertained last Saturday evening at her home, 400 Haskell avenue, complimentary to Miss Clora Polk and her brother, Mr. Polk, of Arizona, Miss Desdamona West of Kansas City, Mo., and Miss Mabel Gleed of Lawrence. About seventy-five guests were present from the two Kansas Cities. A very enjoyable evening was spent in dancing and cards, after which refreshments were served on the beautiful lawn. The guests were received by Miss Ruth, Miss Erva French and little Louise Thompson. Everyone left well pleased, and all declared that Miss Bradley and Mrs. Bradley had lived up to their records as Kansas City's most lavish entertainers. The Knight of Tabor and Daughters of the Tabernacle held their annual sermon Sunday at the Eighth St. Baptist church, Rev. D. B Jackson pastor. The Knights, 75 strong, formed in a line and matched from their hall to the church, headed by the Western Imperial band. The sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. G. E. Horsey, M. D. Dr. Horsey delivered one of the most powerful lodge sermons ever heard in this city. Another feature of the program was an address by Prof. John M. Marquess. The Railway Clerks Progressive club was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Bianche, 815 Nebraska Ave. Kansas City, Kansas. The object of the entertainment was that a bond of friendship might be cemented between the postal clerks and their wives whereby they might be one closely affiliated for the good of all concerned. The program was as follows: Instrumental music furnished the Mandolin club; address, Mr. S. H. Randolph, stating the origin of the club, which was very interesting, being outlined in a few well chosen remarks; paper, "Am I My Brother's Keeper?" Mr. W. D. Holmes, which was very interesting; remarks by the president, Mr. C. W. Bailler, subject: "How We Came to be Thus Far," speaking of the conditions which prevailed; paper, Higher Yet," Mrs. DeWit Howard, written by Miss Williams, ten years old, of Bruce school, and was read to show the importance of the subject in which we were all concerned; closing selection, Mandolin club. At the conclusion of this the guests were invited to partake of the contents of the punch bowl and prepare themselves for a short game of progressive whist for one hour. The prizes were won by the following:—1st, Mrs. DeWit Howard; 2d, Mr. C. Williams; Srd, Mrs. William Lewis, after which refreshments were served Mrs. A. M. Pope—Turnbo Results of "Poro" Treatment.

All present agreed that they had spent an enjoyable evening, and paired, hoping they would witness these occasions more frequent. 1. Splendid Sermon. To say that Rev. J. R. Ransom preached a splendid annual sermon to the old soldiers and the Woman's Relief Corps would not be doing him full justice, but we do say that he preached a sermon that will never be forgotten, one that aroused many thoughts that were lying dormant. After a few timely remarks by the post commander, Mr. Caston, Rev. J. H. Denby told incidents that proved the valor and integrity of the colored soldiers, and compared the Christian warfare and the earthly warfare, which was well received. Miss Cornelia Wilson, the efficient secretary of the W. R. C., recited the poem of the day, "Let the Old Soldiers Talk." All credit must be given Miss Cornelia Wilson, Miss Lucinda Wilson and that tireless worker, most worthy president of the W. R. C., Mrs. Cora Dameron, who can point with pride, mingled with sorrow to the monument (in Woodlawn cemetery) erected to their country's dead, marking the final resting place of those who died in battle, whose loyalty impelled them to protect their families and their homes, and die in the defense of their country's flag.

Editor Plaindealer: I took the advice offered in your valuable paper and I am now on a claim in Cherry county, Nebraska. The only thing I am sorry for is that I did not come here three or four years sooner. A great many people will prove up on their claims this fall. All of them are doing well—raising their own produce—corn, potatoes, peas, rye, oats, alfalfa, millet, hogs, cattle, mules, horses poultry of all kinds. They are here from Canada, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, Kentucky. Kansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Texas, still room for more, who are living in the cities, paying rent and depending on jobs for a living. If our people would only come out here and invest $14.00 in a homestead, and go on their claim and prove up in three or five years, that section would be worth in cash from from $3,000 to $5,000, which is big pay for 3 or 5 years of hardship. If only our people would come and take this land! So many come and say it is no good, but the white people are taking it every day, while our people are contented to black shoes and look after other little jobs just to be in town, when they could come out here and soon be a man. I had rather be a king among dogs than a dog among kings, for the man who lives at home is a king in his own palace. I pray the time will come when our people will get busy and get this land. It will soon be too late. So, come now. I am as ever yours for the church I am as ever yours for the church and the race, (REV.) T. B. J. BARCLAY. G. Q. LAKE, Drugs, Medicines, Toilet Goods.

In raising hogs cheaply it is necessary to begin with the sows. They must be fed well in order to produce a good litter of strong, vigorous pigs. Oats are a splendid feed. They are a well balanced food. Corn is not suitable. It is too fattening. Also provide plenty of pure water. Exercise is necessary. This can be provided by feeding the oats on a feeding floor, scattering them thinly. It is not necessary to grind the oats. The sows should be handled so one can go up to them at any time. A good time to have them farrow is about April 4. A good place is a stall in the horse or cow barn. The time of farrowing can be deter-mined quite exactly. The milk comes into the teats four to six hours before farrowing. Don't feed the sow for twenty-four hours after farrowing, but give her slightly warmed water. They feed some feed like oats and some shorts. When the little pigs are five or six weeks old begin feeding them some grain feed like ground oats. A good A man in a suit is kneeling on a dog's back, with the dog lying on its side. The dog appears to be a small breed, possibly a puppy. The background is a plain, light-colored surface. FEEDING THE LITTLE FELLOWS. way is to fence off their trough so the sow can't get to it. Wean the pigs when about twelve weeks old. A good pasture should be provided For early spring a rye pasture is fine This can be followed by a mixed pasture, as follows: Peas, two bushels pet acre; barley, one bushel, and rape three to four pounds. Some grain should be fed, as the pasture alone will not be sufficient. Then plant a patty of squaw corn. The pigs can be turned into this the middle of August. The sows that are to be used for breeding should not be turned into the corn, but keep them on the pasture and feed some grain, as its or shorts. This requires the minimum of labor and makes cheap pork. An expensive hog house is not neces sary. A straw shed will answer very well. Set up some posts in a circle with an alley leading to the east. Put woven wire fence on the posts and some poles on top. Throw the straw over it when thrashing. The A shaped houses are fine for the sows after they have farrowed - W. R. Lanson, Super Intendent Hettinger Substation, N. D. DAIRY FARMS LAST. The greatest advantage in dairy farming is its relation to the fertility of the soil. No other system of farming exerts it in this respect, and but few equal it. A farm used for dairy purposes does not lose in fertility, but gains, and may be used for this purpose almost indefinitely. --- Drilling Oats Is Best. Oats which are skilled usually yield just a little better when broad casted. Because of the uniform covering less seed is required and the ripening is more even. Alfalfa land should be disturbed as early in the spring as the ground is in condition, as alfalfa starts rather promptly and will be injured if it is already under water. "GOING TO LAW."

Small Seed and Delicate Nature of Plant Require Compact Soil. When alfalfa is grown on corn or potato ground the preparation of the seed bed is a comparatively simple alfalfa, writes I. R. Waldron of the North Dakota experiment station. The land should be disked in the spring and worked with a peg tooth harrow. After disking and harrowing, the ground should be worked occasionally during the spring with disk and harrow, in order to conserve the moisture and to kill the young germinating weeds. Growing alfalfa after a corn or potato crop is of added advantage in ```markdown ``` Photograph by Long Island agricultural treatment station BLEEDING ALFALFA WITH HAND DRILL that the seed bed is firm below the top, two or three inches. The small seed of the alfalfa and the delicate nature of the young plant demand a compact seed bed in comparison to what is allowable for corn or even for wheat. In an open, porous seed bed the soil is apt to dry out in the upper few inches, and if this occurs shortly after the germination of the alfalfa the young seedlings are quite liable to die through lack of moisture. If alfalfa is to be grown after a crop of small grain the land should be fall plowed. The fall plowing allows the seed bed to become more compact than spring plowing and, in addition, aids in conserving moisture. The fall plowing should be worked in the spring in much the same manner as the corn or potato ground. Alfalfa may be grown upon summer fallow, though this probably has no advantage over corn ground in most instances. GOOD ADVICE. Reading good farm papers never made any man a poorer farmer or a poorer man How many do you read? SAVING THE STRAWBERRIES. Marsh Hay is Good For Use as a Mulch—Way to Keep Celery. As soon as the ground froze mulch the strawberries. Use a light, con- crete material that will not pack down too closely and thus smother the plants. Marsh hay is excellent for this pur- pose, as it contains few seeds. Last winter I kept celery in the fruit cellar nearly all winter. At harvest I dug the plants, leaving considerable soil on the roots, removed them to a dimly lighted corner of the cellar and picked them closely. A little ad ditional soil was packed in among the roots, and the plants were then thoroughly watered, taking care not to wet the tops or get any in the heart of the plant. Every three weeks during the winter it was thoroughly watered. It kept perfectly and continued to grow slowly throughout the winter. - Professor Wright, Pennsylvania State College, in American Agriculture. Among the Animals. For some years past a number of dairy men in Australia have adopted the practice of blanketing cows during wet and cold weather. The results in every case are spoken of as being highly satisfactory. Keep the horseshoes well tightened on the hoofs now, as this is the time of year they are most frequently lost by being hooved in the mud or snow or because of long usage. They are too high priced to be lost, and, besides a house shelters the hoof and is a disturbance to the animal in travel. When an ewe drags her lamb put her in a small pen for two or three days or until the lamb is strong enough to follow the hoof. Examine the udder and fores to see that they are not fevoured. If the lamb is unable to consume all the milk for a few days the ewe should be milked out at least once each day. The production of farm yard manure in this country now represents a value greater than the total value of the corn crop. The estimated annual value of farm manure produced in America is $233,000,000. All authorities agree that more than one-third of this material is absorbed wasted by the farm. (First Published in The Topeka Plaindealer, May 30, 1913.) Case No. 27,919.
