TOPEKA PLAINDEALER IOLA WAS ROYAL TO THE MASONS M. PAST GRAND MASTER C. H. M. COLLINS. GRAND LECTURER. Historical Society State House Fifteenth Year. No. 36. Monday Sept. 8, the IOLA WAS ROY TO THE Three Grand Bodies Hold Best Session in the History of the Order...Peace and Harmony Reigned in all Branches. The Prince Hall Granl Lodge, A. F. & A M., met at Iola last week in their thirty-fourth annual convocation and we must say that this was one of the greatest sessions in the history of the order. Much credit is due Messrs Grubbs, Ross and others on the local committee for the entertainment of this grand body. The sessions were held in the large and commodious G. A. R. hall where plenty of ice water and electric fans had been provided, and made it a delightful place for the meetings. The citizens of Iola also deserve great credit for services rendered and the hospitable manner in which they entertained the visitors, who also enjoyed the park around the court house square, where comfortable seats and ice water was furnished by Allen county. The ceremonies began Wednesday morning and the welcome address by the Mayor was indeed a treat and greatly enjoyed. He spoke words of encouragement to the race and showed them that he was their friend and also cited several incidents where he had defended their cause against prejudice and ignorant white men. He laid off a force of men he had at work in order to be present and welcome the grandest and most noble body of colored men in Kansas, and he did not fail to remind them that it was the most intelligent and dignified body of men he had ever welcomed to that city. Past Grand Master Collins resounded to the welcome and made the hit of the day, when he cloquently reviewed the great things carried on by the race today and in spite of the obstacles thrown into their path that they were triumphantly carrying the banner of success, and that it was too late to try to check them. There were other addresses by business and professional men, also some beautiful solos by one of the sweetest lady singers we ever heard. Grand Master Hawkins has demonstrated that he is the proper man to be at the head of the craft, and the proof of his efficiency was shown by his reelection, which was unanimous. When he took hold of the old ship, much of the money had been stolen by Custodian Frank J. Jennings. Several hundred dollars was due the widows and orphans and many other bills unpaid, and notwithstanding his short period of one year in office, --- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 5, 1913. Granal Master Hawkins has succeeded in paying off all claims and put every thing in first-class condition in all departments. Grand Master Hawkins has proven that he is a leader of men as well as Masons. At the conclusion of his address, he was tendered a great ovation that lasted several minutes. He knows all the lartmarks of Masonry and looks well after the lodges throughout the jurisdiction, and by so doing has the admiration and respect of all the brethren. All of the Grand Officers have performed their duty faithfully and well. Deputy Grand Master H. I. Monroe has done a great work in assisting the Granal Master in conducting the busi- A. H. GRAND MASTER E. J. HAWKINS ness of the Grand Lodge Grand Treasurer Hine made his annual report and accounted for every penny that had been paid to him. Grand Secretary Stone showed that that his business is in fine shape. He is an excellent official, prompt and strictly reliable. Grand Custodian Soanes of the W. and O. Fund had everything up-to-the-minute, and was re-elected without opposition. Prof. Marquess, Chairman of the Committee of Foreign Correspondence made one of the best reports in the history of the Grand Lodge. It was complete and concise and showed that he was the proper man for the place. He reviewed over forty Grand Lodges in the United States and gave some valuable information and history that will be of great benefit to this buddy. Grand Orator J. P. King delivered a beautiful oration that was received with a great ovation. Prof. Fred Roundtree, chairman of the investigating committee made a good report concerning the bond of the delinquent Jennings, and the excellent light furnished by h'n on the subject, left all under the impression that the bonding company will "pay off" without going to court. This is the first time in the history of the Grand Lodge that the Grand Lecturer attempted to lecture the Grand Lodge to such an extent that he gave life and vigor to all present and put the subordinate officers of the local lodges to a test.. Past Grand Master Collins has proven that he is the proper man for Grand Lecturer and knows the work from the first to the thirty-second. The Grand Junior and Senior Wardens and other appointive officials are all up to the minute—not a block head in any station in Prince Hall Grand Lodge, and the re-election and appointment of the same excellent workers shows progress and wisdom. This Grand Lodge was composed of more doctors, lawyers, business men and tradesmen than any other ever held. Truly, it was the most representative body we have ever met in Kansas. They were from all walks of life and represented the progressive element of the different avenues from whence they came. Grand Master Nelson C. Crews, of the Jurisdiction of Missouri and Grand Secretary Geo. W. K. Love were visitors and were received with grand honors. Both delivered short addresses, and Grand Master Crews assured the Grand Lodge off Kansas that the Grand Lodge of Missouri was always willing to assist and help her whenever they were needed. Grand Master Crews was recently elected at Saint Joseph, Mo., and is getting into the hainess and preparing for a great work. He is an able and distinguished orator and a credit to his race and the lodge of Kansas left no stone unturned to make his visit one of pleasure and profit. He is also editor of the Kansas City Son, one of the leading journals of the West. Prof. Marquess opened his storehouse of eloquence in the way of a response to Grand Master Crews, and we must say that he awakened the Grand Lodge with one of the best speeches ever presented before that body, and he was roundly applauded and many said they would like to see him in the halls of Congress or on the chautauqua platform to present the cause of his people against men like Vardaman, Tillman, et al. He is a very useful man and we expect great things of him in the future. He is now principal of Sumner High school, Kansas City, Kas. Again we must add that the local committee has set a pace for all future cities that entertain the Grand Lodge. They secured Mount Oread drill team of Lawrence to drill for them on Thursday night at an expense of over $100. They came about thirty strong and put on one of the prettiest exhibitions ever witnessed in Iola's magnificent coliseum Their uniforms were nice and new, and as they encircled the spacious hall they resembled the gallant knights of old. Capt. Bower is to be congratulated upon his excellent work in developing this team, and the people of Lawrence should feel proud of them. The Grand Lodge paraded Friday, headed by the Coffeyville band and Mount Oread drill team. They encircled the public square and took cars to the park where a little outing was had for a few hours. At the park, they witnessed a baseball game between the Iola Go-Devils and a team from Independence. The Go-Devils wore without a struggle Grand Master Crews, of Missouri, spoke to the citizens in the coliseum Thursday night and was received with a great ovation. Rev. Gordon was master of ceremonies, and introduced Mr. Crews, who was greeted with a wave of applause. He delivered an address that will long be remembered and will no doubt be productive of much good. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Grand Master--R. J. Hawkins, Fort Scott. Denuty Grand Master—Henry I Mentoe, Toncka. Grand Treasurer—A. D Hume, Salna Grand Secretary—Fred M. Stone, Lawrence. Grand Junior Warden—J H Polt ton. Grand Senior Warden—W. J. Pierce, Pittsburg. Grand Orator—Jefferson P. King, Kansas City. Custodian W, arzl O. Fund—J. G. N. Soanes, Kansas City.

Investigating Committee——Fred Roundtree, Chairman, Topeka; C. H. M. Collins, Kansas City; B. C. Easter, Coffeyville. PRINCE HALL GRAND CHAPTER. The Prince Hall Grand Chapter, R. A. M. met at the G. A. R. hall on Monday, with Grand High Priest C. A. Long presiding, and proved to be one of the greatest meetings of this Chapter ever held. Grand High Priest Long has worked continually to bring this Chapter up to the standard and we can say that it is the equal if not surpassing any other like body in the country. It was through Mr. Long that the Chapter has been given new life, and reports of the different departments show a marked gain along every line. Mr. Long was re-elected G. H. P., as was all of the others holding office, except the Grand Scribe, who declined to serve again and B. F. Payne, of Topeka was elected in his place. THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR. Prince Hall Grand Commandery, Knights Templar, held their annual convocation with Grand Commander J. T. Chinneth presiding. The Grand Commander has used every effort to strengthen the Commandery and has started it on a successful march. R. Hightower, of Topeka, Deputy Grand Commander, G. W. Brown, Grand Recoider deserve much credit for their work as does also Fred M. Stoneestreet, treasurer of the Chapter and Commandery. The total collection, excluding the collection of the Chapter and Com- [Name] GRAND SEC. FRED STONE mandery up to the time of adjou- ment was ever $7,000.00 and when the balance is paid in the sum will swell to about $9,000.00 This sum just represents the Grand Lodge. The next meeting will be at Pitt- sburg in 1911. IN OLD MISSOURI! IN OLD MISSOURI! A few days ago we visited Ixington, Higginsville, Independence and Saint Joseph, Mo. and must say that the colred people in the latter city gave an excellent opportunity to make conditions better for themselves if they would hew to the line and stop so much grape vine dispatching. They pay too much attention to hear-say, prejudice talk and bickering that does not amount to anything. They should strive to earn an honest dollar and live in peace with the world. SAINT JOSEPH Among the successful business men we met was Mr. G. W. Walker, who conducts a fine craft, has a good building and doing well. Our friend, W. L. Gordon, is doing fire and is one of Saint Joseph's successful citizens. It is rumoured that he will soon lead one of the city's furthest bells to the altar. Mr. A. D. Butler has just completed a house residence. He is one of St Joseph's mail clerks. We were highly entertained at a 5 o'clock dinner at the home of Dr. C. S. Wheatley. He is a first class chiropodist and has one of the best money making professions of today, and enjoys a fire practice. He has a fine home, an estimable wife and two very fine daughters. Prof. N. C. Bruce off Dalton, Mo., was also a guest at this pleasant home. Mr. S. L. Alexander, who conducts a café on So. Fourth St., South St. Joseph, has a first class colored resort. He is a very pleasant gentleman to meet and has a host of friends and is well thought of in his community. We visited the Goetz Brewing Co., one of our old subscribers. This concern is composed of fine young men, who are progressive and nice to do business with. Their business is increasing daily. They control Saint Joseph and nearly all of the state. We were very proud to meet Mrs. Ida A. Walker, a woman who is doing a great work for the elevation and uplift of her race and sex throughout the West. She is president of the Missouri State Federation of Women's clubs, and makes a specialty of looking after orphans and old women. Mrs. Walker stands high in the community and is a polished, cultured lady, and we are proud that women of her type have taken hold of the work of uplifting the women of the race. Mrs. Walker is a woman of high literary attributions and her husband, Hon. Harry H. Walker is in the employ of the government and is highly respected. Dr. Carrion and family are enjoying the company of his mother, who is a fine Christian lady and very intelligent. She is an ideal old lady and represents that type of pure upright womanhood, who blessed civilization with men that are examples and an honor to their race. Would to heaven that we could only have women of that type today and the race would progress much faster. It was a treat to meet Dr. R. P. Beshears, who is a fine dentist and graduated from the University of Iowa. He has one of the neatest and most up-to-date offices in the country, located at 2612 Francis St. He enjoys a fine practice and is modern in his method of treating the teeth. He received an invitation to attend one of the dental conventions in Iowa, and one of the Professors of the University wrote him a personal letter, thanking him for some valuable information he had given and assuring him that they had profited much from his suggestions. Mr. A. D. Bell is the only colored man in Saint Joseph engaged in the huckster business, and we are very sorry, but this is one leading avenue that the colored people have overlooked and sat idly by let the white people capture the business. LEXINGTON. This is only a little mining town, but the colored people are doing fine and have plenty of work. Many of them are buying rice homes and beautifying their old ones. Mt. C. W. Holmes has purchased a free home and has a fine horse and carriage. He is a single man, but it is whispered that he has been pierced by cupid's arrow. Here we found the colored people in possession of more fine stock than any other place we have visited. Dr. S. A. Bell, physician and surgeon is enjoying a lucrative practice. He is a fine surgeon and has plenty of that kind of work. The Lexington Brewing Co. is controlled by an excellent gentleman, Mr. Hoffman, who controls the town. Lexington has a good class of white people and the two races dwell in peace and harmony. This is the city where a white girl was supposed to have been murdered by a colored boy, who was employed by her father. The girl's body was found in a pasture and the boys body on the banks of the Missouri river. It is reported that the girl's father carried a life insurance on both the girl and the colored boy employed by him, also that this man was only her stepfather. These reports are being investigated and if certain things develop, the affair will be thoroughly sifted. It is reported also that there are very suspicious circumstances surrounding the case. HIGGINSVILLE Here we found the colored people doing fine. One of the most prosperous men we found was Mr. Arthur Groves. He has a beautiful hme with about an mere of ground, through which flows a small ravine, which makes it an ideal bog pasture. He has three or four hundred dollars worth of hogs nearly ready for the market. He is progressive and prosperous and made his start about Price $1.50 Per Year. eight years ago. Ife has a very economic wife and a little child who contribute much to his success. The Perry Bros., are the most prosperous farmers in this section. Mr. James Perry is farming about 340 acres and raised this year over 4,000 bushels of wheat and has an abundance of horses, cattle and hogs. He has a wife, a beautiful daughter and four sons. Two of them are married, one conducts a farm a few miles from his father, and the other two are at home assisting their father with the farming. Mr. J. W. Perry is farming about 240 acres and raised several hundred bushels of wheat. He has two spans of the finest Missouri mules which are worth about $60000 each, and has hogs and chickens galore. CARROLTON. This is a fine town with a good class of colored and white people. Mr. A. A. Sanford, a young contractor and builder has plenty of work and is one of the best brick mason in the West. We inspected some of the best buildings in the town that were excellent specimens of the best that can be produced in brick and stone, and they are the creations of his handiwork. Young Sampson is one of the leading business men of the town, and enjoys the company of a wife and a cute little son, and also has a lovely home. His father, who had been a widower for many years has recently married and is enjoying his honeymoon. He is as active as a boy, and we wish him and his bride a peaceful voyage down the matrimonial sea. Mr. Sanford, sr., is engaged in the same work as his son and they are now working on a building that will cost about $35,000. Rev. L. W. Harris, pastor of the Baptist church is one of the leading citizens and orators of the country. He is honest and upright and enjoys the confidence and respect of all of the people. Mr. David Clecton has held a position as fireman at the ice and water plant for several years. He is honest and reable and highly respected. Mrs. M. L. Hammon, hairdresser, has a good business. Her husband is in the saw mill and threshing business. He owns his machinery and also some good property. He has resided here since 1853. Mrs. Leoti Fields, teacher in the public schools is doing fine. Her husband, who is one of the leaders of town, enjoys the respect and confidence of everybody. O. mistake the colored people of Carrolton make is that they depend too much on supposed race leaders, who live for themselves and none other. They have a colored man in the town that runs a restaurant for white people and poses as a Christian and race leader, and from the evidence of his surroundings we fail to see where he has contributed anything to the cause of the race or to any colored concern. He does not have time to show appreciation of the progressive colored people, but 1910 R. A. LONG, GRAND HIGH PRIEST Imagines that he is the whole show and should be leoled up to. And we want to add right here. That the sooner the colored people of Carrollton or any other place discard this class of men, the better off they will be. Mrs. Leola Bussle, 416 W.

I want you to please send by mail three bottles of your shampoo, three boxes of hair grower and two boxes of preserving oil. I like the remedy just fine, I would not be without it for anything.

P. Waggener for United States Senator, and there seems to be very little opposition. The Republicans will have to find a very strong man that can put up a fight against him in 1911.

His advert into the arena to battle for the Senatorial toga will be an instance where party lines will be swapped away and everyone will show a feeling of admiration and appreciation for him. It is an undisputed fact that he will be the Democratic romance for U. S. Senator.

The Austrian pine, often spoken of as the black pine, is commonly planted throughout the United States east of the Rocky mountains for ornamental and windbreak purposes. Under favorable conditions it will attain a height of alxy or serenity feet, with a diameter of fully two feet at the stump. It is pleasing in appearance, grows erect with a straight, heavy trunk and regular whorls of heavy limbs. The leaves are from five to seven inches long, very dark green and retain their greenness throughout the year. In keeping with the general appearance of the tree the foliage is dense and heavy, which makes it one of the very best of the pines for windbreak purposes.

The seedlings transplant with much difficulty, and there is usually a heavy loss in the first transplanting, but only a small per cent of loss in the subsequent plantings. Only trees that have been transplanted once or twice should be bought for permanent plantings, and these should be from fifteen to twenty inches in height. The Australian pine is generally propagated by all nurserymen handling coniferous stock and can be obtained in any desired numbers. The tree requires special care in the seedling stage. It is impracticable for any except skilled nurserymen to attempt to grow it.—Kansas Farmer. THE FARMER'S PROBLEM. According to Former Secretary Wilson, every day in the crop growing season is worth $50,000,000 to the farmers of the United States. This wealth, however, represents the work of nature as well as of men. The big problem for the farmer is to so arrange his affairs that he can keep nature working for him all the time. For the Asparagus Bed. The land for an neapagus bed must be well drained, warm, rich soil and thoroughly worked. For a home patch deep spailing may do, but care must be taken to get the moisture well mixed with the soil if best results are desired. For larger beds the moisture should be turned under with a deep plowing is advantageous in most cases. The first plowing should be done late in the fall, the second earth in the spring. Good, strong one year old roots are the best. A long bed single row for the home garden, is better and more easily managed than a short bed of a number of rows. The plants should have plenty of space. American Agricultural Let Out the Gas. In severe cases of damage or wind collis the life of the horse may be saved by prompt tapping for the removal of gas. The tinear and cantilever used for the purpose are thrust into the most distended part of the right flank, high up near to the rib and at the edge of the feather of the rib which runs the opposite way of that on the flies. In cow tapping is done on the left side. There is little danger in using the instrument, but it must be sterilized the fore use, and the wound should be disinfected after removal of the tracer - Farm Journal. It's a Useful Servant Where a former owner in wood to and iron work, he can make an excellent investment by purchasing a good line engine and wood sawing machine. Even a two and one fourth horsepower engine will do a lot of work, but it be- adable perhaps, to get a somewhat larger one because the drain is sure that after a former gets an engine he will other work for it to do. Don't Grow Scabby Souda. One thing is sure if your pots are healthy in the garden one year you had better not plant any on the same ground another year.

First, all the tag locks must be removed, whether ther be dung or grease and dirt, written W. C. Coffey of the Illinois station, describing the proper way to tie up a deeve; second, the fleece should be carefully rolled up by hand (not in wool box), with no ends or stray locks protruding and with the flesh side out; third, the fleece should be tied with a hard, glazed twine, not larger than one-eighth inch in diameter. In tying the ends of the twine especial care should be taken to make a firm, hard knot that will not alin. Tag locks are not so common that their presence in fleeces from farm flocks is the rule rather than an exception. The total effect of leaving them on fleeces is bad. It puts our wools in bad standing with wool houses and manufacturers. Long continued, it has led to the only logical result—namely, discrimination in price against our wools. Careful rolling, with the flesh side out and no ends or stray locks showing, adds greatly to the appearance of the fleece. It also prevents mixing the wool from different fleeces, and, by the way, each fleece should be tied to itself. In the wool warehouse it is a pretty sight to see the heaps of graded wool faced with a tier of carefully rolled and tiled fleeces. GOOD FOR THE GRUNTERS. This Handy Swill Barrel Doesn't Need Much Material or Labor. A very handy swill barrel for feeding a lot of hogs when they come crowding around the trough is made as follows, says the Iowa Homestead, from which article and illustration are reproduced The barrel A is set on a small planform immediately above a trough, B, next to the hydrant D, which has a goose neck so that water can be drawn into the barrel directly from the hydrant. In the center of the bottom of the barrel is bored a two inch nigger hole which is kept closed by means of a plug, C, the handle of which is HANDY SWILL SPEEDER made of an old broom handle and long enough to reach to the top of the barrel. Swill is made of ground feed, and when it is desirable to feed the hogs all the operator has to do is to attir the swill and pull the plug, and the swill runs out into the trough without any trouble. When enough has run out the plug may be returned to its place, and in this way there is no spilling or handling of swill. The trough may be of any contenent length. Spring Culture of Wheat Harrowing wheat in the spring is a practice that is receiving considerable attention of late years. Where the ground is compacted hard from beating rains of early spring, followed by ruthery weather, the harrowing of wheat with a dig harrow is good practice. So for experiments have shown at the Missouri station, however, the harrowing of wheat is not always suitably benefit to pay for the work, although where one harrows in lower seed at the same time the practice is usually a paying one. Where the wheat is badly "heaved" the use of a heavy roller in the early spring is a good practice. All depends, however, upon the extent of the "heaving." Kill the Bats and Save Chicks. All the hives and save crowns. In answer to a subscriber who complains of rats getting away with his young chicks and requesting a remedy for exterminating the rodents, a correspondent of the Kansas City Farmer says that if powdered sulphur and cayenne pepper are scattered around the rat holes the vermin will disappear. Another remedy is to scatter powdered lye around their holes. The lye will stick to the rat's feet. He commences to lick them, which causes death. Why Bely en Corn? In sections where corn has not proved a success it is folly to rely upon corn. In such sections there are crops which do an good, and it is the part of intelligence to plant them. Kaffir, milo and other crops grow and do well where corn fails. Then why rely on corn- farm and banch WHY CHICKENS PAY. Eight Arguments in Favor of Poultry Raising by the General Farmer. A well known Canadian professor at Ottawa, in reply to the question, "Why is poultry valuable to the farmer?" gave the following reasons: Because he ought by this means to convert a great deal of the waste of his farm into money in the shape of eggs and chickens for market. Because with intelligent management sons ought to be all year revenue producers, with the exception of perhaps two months during the molting period. Because poultry will yield him a quicker return for his capital invested than any of the other departments of agriculture. Because the manure from the poultry house will make a valuable compost for use in either vegetable garden or orchard. The birds themselves, it allowed to run in plum or apple orchard, will destroy all injurious insect life. Because, while cereals and fruits can only be successfully grown in certain sections, poultry can be raised for table use or layers of eggs in all parts of the country. Because poultry raising is an employment in which the farmer's wife and daughters can engage and leave him free to attend to other departments. Because it will bring the best return in the shape of new laid eggs during the winter season, when the farmer has most time on his hands. Because to start poultry raising on the farm requires little or no capital. Under any circumstances, with proper management, poultry can be made with little cost a valuable adjunct to the farm. WHAT'S IN A FARM NAME? Every Comfortable Homestead is Worth Its Own Distinctive Title. Every good man and woman has a cherished memory of the old home where childhood's days were spent, and if that old home was on a farm that farm should have a name that will distinguish it from all other farms of the county. Nearly every other business house, factory or firm has adopted a name and a credit is established. Every farm is worthy of a name, and every farmer can make a reputation and establish a credit for his farm and its products through intelligent, careful study and the adoption of approved modern methods of procedure. A well chosen name lends dignity to a place and is a sort of trademark which distinguishes it and its products; it characterizes its owner as a man of pride and stimulates all who are interested in it or its products to do and to be the best. We believe that a well selected name will furnish an incentive for better farming; that all implements, tools, vehicles, crates and products whenever possible should have the name of the farm indelibly stamped upon them; that it should inform every entrance to the farm and be printed upon all stationery used on the farm. We believe that the name should relate to some distinct feature of the farm, its location, topography or products—Illinois Farmers' Institute. Feeding Value of Pumpkins. Pumpkins are about 90 per cent water. It has been estimated that two and one half tons of pumpkins equal in feeding value about one ton of villas and that twenty pounds of pumpkins contain as much digestible protein as a pound of corn. The principal value of pumpkins lies in their succulence and as a part of the ration are valuable for all kinds of live stock—Kabasa Farmer. Labor Saving Log Roller. On every farm where there is timber of large size there ought to be a cantook, an implement shown in the picture, for the purpose of moving heavy logs, says Home and Farm, from which picture and description are taken. It will save a tremendous amount of heavy lifting, and one man with a cantook can do as much, or even more, than two without it. The handle should be about the feet long and the from book about twelve inches, or if very large logs are to be used fifteen inches. The book should work closely on a bolt through the handle and the "business end" be slightly curved inward and always kept sharp. --- Farmers in the future will not be so anxious to manage large farms, but will be more concerned in securing large yields per here. Science is teaching what can be accomplished by the intelligent use of manure and fertilizers so that the yield of our farms may be increased.-Farm and Irranch. Now Is the Time.
