Seven first class restaurants, five tailor shops—an extension of cleaning and pressing shops, but sorry to say a city carrying about 120,000 population and have no colored bank. We hope the people will wake up to the point where they can see the need of a bank. We find here forty churches, but the slave of this country is the Negro man and the white woman. We also hope to see the day when the Negroes of the South will prize education higher than he does. We were in a small place, Forney, Texas, where there were about four hundred children and the principal informed me up to Oct. 16 he had enrolled only thirty-seven pupils. Not only should they wake up to education, but we hope to see them wake up to a higher regard for their morals. It is nothing to see girls fourteen wasting their lives in dissipation, and young women of twenty using their virtue for merchandise and the old toothless grandma riding in a charriot of lewdness. We find conditions existing in the South that are unspeakable. WINFIELD, KANSAS.

This was one of the largest funerals ever held in the city and the floral offerings were the most numerous. It was also a very sad occasion, as the relatives seemed almost inconsolable. Some of them floated and the doctor had to be called for some. The lodges nearly filled the church and hundreds remained outdoors until admitter to view the body. The embosed velvet casket was completely covered with flowers and the altar and small table held the many other designs. She received a beautiful large triangle of flowers from the S. M. T. s, and the Household of Ruth gave a pillow, and she had many other pillows and anchors and other designs and one of the tallest and most beautiful was a cross, standing about 30 inches high, of roses and white carnations, given by the Neighborhood club—Meadames M. Green, Marie Wilson, Lottie Williams, L. M. Millan, and M. C. Matthews as committee, and many others in the club. An humble Christian woman has gone leaving a husband, three sisters, several nieces and nephews and other relatives and friends to follow her to the better world. The Cadela's resolutions were praised for their loyalty to their queen mother. The eulogy and original poem in the Neighborhood club's resolutions were said to be a very fine tribute to the deceased. The choir, under the direction of Prof. Reynolds, sang fine. Rev. Bowren preached well and everything passed off in a beautiful Christian way. All sympathize with the family.

The Junior Deaconess Board turned out in a body and Mrs. C. Wood read appropriate resolutions. Rev. Ransom read the obituary and preached from Psalms: "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of the saints." Rev. Dr. Horsey made reviving remarks.

CHURCH (Be The Staff) Our splendid congregation enjoyed the services at St. John Sunday. The weather was ideal and many visitors were out. It. Rev. Bishop Lane of Jackson, Teen, retired bishop of the U.M. E. conference, who was here attending their 31st annual session, was present with us and preached at the 11 o'clock service. After reading for scripture lesson the 23th chapter of Isaiah he selected his text from Phil. 4:8: "Finally brethren whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are lovely, if there be any virtue think on these things." The theme: "Revealed Religion." The venerable father of the gospel, ripe with years of experience, preached on able sermon, full of excellent truths, inspiring the hearts of his hearers, at the close of which Mrs. Amanda Willgum and Mrs. Rose Jackson came forward and united with the church. This being the first Sunday in the month the elements of the Lord's supper were consecrated and administered to all communants. Pastor Brown pitched the evening session from the theme "Giving Satisfaction or Art of Pleasing" which was enjoyed by an appreciative audience. Excellent music was rendered by the choir. Revs. Wattfield and Harold of the C. M. B. conference were pleasant visitors at the morning service. Sunday school* and Pindavan were well attended. Bishop Lane made an address to the children of the Sunday school. The boys of the Sunday school enjoyed a hike last Saturday morning to the pleasant country residence of Mr. James Parks with Pastor Brown as their chaperone, and an excellent time was reported by them. The Ladies Sewing circle met Wednesday afternoon with the president, Mrs. Lizzie Buckner, at her home on Fifteenth street. The Junior Stewardess Board met on Friday of last week at the residence of Mrs. Bertha Smith, 15th and Kansas avenue. A profitable meeting was held.

Excellent programs have been prepared for each evening. The Ladies of the Sewing circle will serve meals at the church on Thursday and Friday for the teachers attending the Teachers' association and to other friends and well wishers. (Left over last week.) *Last Sunday was another day of interesting and beautiful worship at St. John. It was indeed very gratifying to be there. The worship was glorious in every respect. Pastor Brown preached at 11 A. M. upon the subject of "The Fruit of Faith", using as a text, the 3:6 of Galatians, "For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor circumcision; but faith which worketh by love." He so graphically portrayed Paul's reasonos for writing the letter to the Galatians; love as a product of faith; the contrast of legalism with Christ's life, and showing the necessity of being guided by the Holy Spirit and mortifying the deeds of the body. The congregation was large and appreciative. The services were beautiful and effective and the day well spent. The Sunday School and Endeavor were more than interesting. Miss Olive Newman led the Endeavor with very much satisfaction. The four clubs recently organized for grand rally first Sunday in December for the indebdedness of the church, have formed their several sub-divisions and organizations and started off with much interest. Quite a number of club meetings were held the past week and our entire membership seems to be stirred with such interest as has never been manifested before. Mrs. A. M. Lucas, Mrs. Alexander and Mrs. D| C. Scott have been added to the regular Stewardess Board. The board is promising some good things for the future.

Judge William Harrison of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, one, of the foremost and ablest lawyers in the United States, irrespective of color, wealth or age, delivered one of the most legal, logical and convincing arguments ever listened to by the Supreme Court of the United States, as has been reported by both Black and White men, accustomed to hearing arguments in that Court. This case was filed in the Federal Courts by Judge Harrison, his own conception, February 15, 1908, and is questionable deserving of more attention and more credit than any case yet brought to the Supreme Court, involving the rights of the Negroes in this country. It is unique in this that it was conducted by Negroes, or Negroes throughout its entirety. It was one of that class of cases that White lawyers hesitate to take in these days of public opinion and Poiltictl catering, and for that reason the Negroes found themselves called upon to bear their own burdens. In the Argument; Judge Harrison sought to interpret the mind of Congress as evidenced by the Enabling Act, approved by Congress, June 18th, 1900, and insisted that unless the Legislature of the State of Oklahoma could violate every provision of the Enabling Act, which the people of Oklahoma had accepted and adopted irrevocably as a condition precedent to admission into the sisterhood of States, it, the Legislature of Oklahoma, could not enact a law making distinction when it comes to the Negro Race, based upon color the same being forbidden by the language of the Act itself and this argument was clinched when the Judge pointed out that separate schools were provided for in the Enabling Act and no other distinction or separation. Arguing that the Act of the Oklahoma Legislature seeks to, and does regulate Inter-state transportation, the Judge said the Act must stand or fall as a whole not being separable, and being clear, positive and unambiguous could not be construed away and had to be taken as expressing the mind of the Legislature. The Judge exploded the theory of Police Regulation and showed that so far as the Police Regulation argument set out by Defendants was a mere subterfuge, and in this connection it was forcibly argued that the Mexican, the Italian, the Indian, the Turk, the Greek and every other race on the face of the earth had been legislated into White men, and educated, cultured, and refined by the Act of the Legislature complained of. Judge Harrison reached his climax by invoking the interpretation and construction of the Federal Constitution and specifically the 14th Amendment as applied to the Act of the Legislature of Oklahoma complained of. Perhaps the most finely drawn and keenest differentiation was shown by the able jurist when it came to comparing the case at Bar with other cases adjudicated; for he clearly showed that his case was different and new in the following particulars, to wit: The Supreme Court of the State of Oklahoma had not construed the law as had been done in cases coming up from Louisiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, etc. The case at Bar had evaded and avoided the State Courts knowing what its fate would be once in said courts, and finally that the word "Distinction" did not occur in the Organic Act of the States mentioned, but was purposely written in the Mobling Act of Oklahoma. Closely connected and intimately associated with Judge Harrison from the very beginning of this case has been Rev. W. H. Jernagn, D.D., pastor at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Dr. Jernagnia is a rare man of the cloth for he has from the beginning agitated and argued that competent Negro Lawyers were able and should have the conducting of the case. As Judge Harrison has taken the lead and kept the name legally from the inception of this case, Dr. Jernagin, untirag, uncompromising, unyielding and full of hope has stood on the spring line financially and told Judge Harrison to go on, and this he has continued up to the publication of this article. The fact is; these two unique characters in the conduct of this case are inseparable. It should be stated that while practically a very small amount of money has been furnished in this case yet, what has been furnished came exclusively from Negroes, under leadership of Dr. Jernagin, except the sum of One Hundred and Eighty Dollars ($180.00) furnished as a Supreme Court deposit, (for printing Brief) by the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, Sept. 1913. While we are advised that other Negroes have assisted materially, joyfully, hopefully, courageously and manfully in this case, our hat is off to Judge Harrison for his extraordinarily presentation and wonderful argument in this case before the Supreme Court and his standard bear, Dr. W. H. Jermagin who talked finance to the peo- ple of Washington, while the Jurist talked law to the Court. Judge Harrison addressed the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, Tuesday evening, the 27th and having paid high tribute to the Negroes or attainments along many lines charged the Negro with failure when it comes to co-operative efforts. Judge Harrison addressed the student body at Howard University at the Chapel hour and departed for Oklahoma the night of the 28th. Our best wishes attend such a man and hero. MAPLE HILL. KANSAS.

Burns of this city preached the sermon. Autumn Leaf Lodge, No. 81, A. F. & A. M. of this city did the work with ritualistic ceremonies, with much credit to themselves and honor to the cause. The members of the church take this method of thauling the public for their liberal donation. The Negroes of Independence, after years of waiting are preparing to make a business venture. Rev. G. Teal, pastor of the Second Baptist church is remodeling a building and preparing to open up a grocery store. There is no reason why the effort should not be a success.

Pettigrew, the aggressive pastor of Quinn Chapel A. M. E., church has begun another years work. He seems to be loved and respected by his members. This is proven not only by words alone, but by the manner in which they respond to his call. Circle No. 3 gave an entertainment Tuesday night and it seemed that they were meeting with great success. The Busy Bee club of the church gave a mask Halloween social at the G. A. R. hall Friday night, Oct. 30.

He couldn't till it well because 'Twas scattered over too much ground. He could not keep the weeds out down. Nor could he keep the fences up. He had to sell and move to town And now owns nothing but a pup. Jim Homestead bought a little tract So small that when he started out Folks laughed at him, but 'tis a fact That he is rich now and about As free from care as he could be And leads a life that's full of charm He tilled the soil so well that he Just made it pay—that little farm. —Charles H. Melers in American Agriculturist. TYING UP A FLEECE. Directions For the Proper Care of the Wool Grower's Crop. First, all the tag locks must be removed, whether they be dung or grease and dirt, writes W. C. Coffey of the Illinois station, describing the proper way to tie up a fleece; second, the fleece should be carefully rolled up by hand (not in wool box), with no ends or stray locks protruding and with the fleece 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 slip. 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. PLAINDEALER 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 tied 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 Homehead, from which article and illustration are reproduced. The barrel A is set on a small platform 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 auger hole which is kept closed by means of a plug. C. the handle of which is HANDY SWILL PERDER. 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 stir 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 convenient length. Spring Culture of Wheat. 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 rather dry weather, the harrowing of wheat with a drag harrow is good practice. So far experiments have shown at the Missouri station, however, the harrowing of wheat is not always sufficiently beneficial to pay for the work, although where one harrows in clover 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 Rats and Save Chicks. Kill the Rats and Save Chicks. 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 Rely on 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 succeed, and it is the part of intelligence to plant them. Kamir, mile and other crops grow and do well where corn fails. Then why rely on corn?—Farm and Ranch
