Griffin, manager of The Topka Plaintiff and member board of trustees for Western University, returned home last week from a trip through the South, where he visited his aged father at his home in Shreveport la, when he had not seen for two twenty-five years. He visited a number tical at City, Kansas. Has Carefully Sized Up Presents Men Worthy or They Seek. He has always been known by his friends as "Little Jerrie Fulton." Since his entry into the medical profession, he has treated poor people night and day, regardless of color or creed and without hope of reward. He has devoted his time to care of children at Orphan Home gratuitously. Known by every one who knows, him to be honest and capable, Kansas City, Kansas is composed of people who work and struggle and succeed and we want a man for Mayor who will be in accord with the wants and wishes of the people and that man is Dr. J.

Newland, candidate for Commissioner of Streets and Improvements is a business man of Kansas City, Kansas who has for the last fifteen or twenty years been engaged in the transfer and storage business. He needs no introduction to the people of Kansas City, Kansas, because on many occasions he has helped the poor and needy ones of this city. Mr. Newland is also engaged in the coal and food business which he has made a success of and therefore a man who makes a success of his own business is a safe man to handle the affairs of the people of a great growing city like Kansas City, Kansas. He is a large tax payer and employs many men and among them he employs several colored men, whom he speaks of in the highest of terms and we recommend him to the voters of Kansas City, Kansas as being the proper man to vote for and those who wish to see the streets of Kansas City, Kansas improved and kept in good condition should vote for George C.

GRIFFIN IN THE SOUTHLAND! They Tell Topeka Newspaper Man Where to "Head In." Hon. Adolphus triffin, manager of the Plisidealer and leading Democrat of Kansas has returned from a trip to Shreveport, La., where he visited his aged father, sisters and brothers and other relatives and friends. This was his first trip to his home in twenty-seven years and he says things have undergone a radical change since that time. He says that with a few exceptions the colored people are treated like animals, in fact, they are not treated as well as animals. He says he visited the court house where a trial was being held and that he was ordered out by the southern white officials who said to him, "what are you doing here, don't you know we don't allow niggers in the court house unless they are on trial or are witnesses." He says that at the post office in calling for a letter which had not been delivered to the proper address, he was told that they never delivered mail down among "niggers," especially in that part where it was unkind, that they looked in the postman's sack and found the letter. These are a few of the many outrages that are perpetrated upon the colored people in the Southland. In Texas it is almost as bad as in Louisiana. He met the Governor of Texas and while the governor conversed with him, he was in a hurry and did not give him a conditional reception that should be given citizens. He says the colored peoples' waiting rooms are fithy, with no heat or water, and that in most places you will find the ticket agents insolent with no respect for the feelings of colored passengers and treat them as they would an ordinary annual. Mr. Griffin says the South is far behind the times in progress and that all the ambitious aim of the lower class of white people is to harass the colored people; that if it was not for the few educated classes of white people in Texas and Louisiana the colored people would be forced from those two states. IF ALL WHO HATE WOULD LOVE US If all who hate would love us, And all our loves were true, The stars that swing above us Would brighten in the blue; If cruel words were kisses, And every woul a smile, A better world than this is Would hardly be worth while; If purses would not tighten To meet a brother's need. The load we hear would brighten Above the grave of greed. If those who whine would whistle, And those who languish laugh, The rose would rout the thistle, The grain outrun the chaff; If hearts were only jolly, If grieving were forgot, And tears of melancholy Were things that now are not; Then love would kneel to duty, And all the world would seem A bridalower of beauty, A dream within a dream, If men would cease to worry, And women cease to sigh, And all he glad to bury Whatever has to die; If neighbor spake to neighbor, As love demands of all, The rust would eat the saber, The spear stay on the wall; Then every day would glisten, And every eye would shine, And God would pause to listen, And life would be divine. THE PEOPLE LIKE WESTERN U. The people of Kansas ought to be proud of Western University and the great showing they made at the State Capitol last week before the joint body of the House and Senate. They have one of the finest bands and glee clubs in the West. There was over three thousand people present at the entertainment is the state house and the Free $1.50 Per Year. band, had given club received many accolades. Prof. Jackson had charge of the chorus which consisted of some of the best singers found anywhere. Prof. Jackson is a first class musical instructor and has been connected with Western University for years and has, turned out some of the best singers and musicians to be found anywhere. Mr. Stone, Speaker of the House said that he had attended some of the finest operas, but that the entertainment given by Western University band and chorus surpassed them all. He said that they were doing a great work that no other institution of its kind was doing. He said that he was proud of Western University, and its students, that the attendance was voluntary and there was no segregation nor attempt to segregate. Prof. Kealing spoke on the progress that is being made by the race and the advantage of industrial education—that the money spent by the legislature resulted in great benefit to the state and such expenditure would never be regretted, by the tax-payers of Kansas as the school is turning out young men and women who are going out into the world and making good. The House recommended an appropriation of $44,000. OGILSVIE FISHING CLUB HAD A ROYAL TIME. Meeting Monday Night Was Enthusiastic and Full of Joy. The meeting of the Ogilvie Fishing and Hunting club at the home of M. A. Ogilvie, 1048 Grand Ave., was beyond all doubt the swellest thing staged in Topeka this season. The all important question before the members was the erection of a camp, which was spoken of in a former issue of the Plumdealer. After discussing the matter thoroughly and plans mapped out for the future, the boys were called from labor to refreshments. It was a feast fit for a king. The good things were there in abundance—enough to feed a small size army, and no one failed to do justice to the spread, which was prepared by Mrs. Ogilvie's own hands, and by the way, she is one of the finest cooks in the West. Mr. C. C. Officer, upon whose beautiful farm the club intends the camp, was unable to be present, but sent his regrets as follows: Paxico, Kansas, Feb. 14, 1915. Mr. Ogilvie, Topeka, Kansas.

Owes His Old Age and Present Activien- ness to Regularities—Scolds Young Men of Today. From The Lawrence Journal-World. Quite a philosopher is old Charley Wilson, the North Carolina Negro who will soon be 72 years of age, and who is called "Honey" by many University students who know him. "Honey" Wilson is also an interesting old fellow. He was born near Charlotte, N. C., and was owned by a prominent planter of that southern state. He wanted to join the Northern ranks during the Civil War, but he could not manage to get away; he was watched closely by his master and made to stay at home and work. After the war "Honey" went westward and married an Alabama Negroes who was also a slave. They went to Miss. Isiappi and got a small trust of hand where they raised cotton for several years. They decided to go to Kansas and located in Lawrence over thirty years ago. They have always lived here since. For an elderly person "Honey" is unusually strong and active. He believes in Benjamin Franklin's saying "early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." While it has not made "Honey" wealthy it has made him healthy and wise, he says he never went to school, but he claims that just because a man cannot have an education is no reason that he cannot be smart. He says that tired gave him brains and that he has learned more for himself than any who have gone to school and college. Indeed he is a wise old fellow, and he says it looks as if he is good for twenty years yet. He can read and write well and is posted on the Bible, current topics, history and geography and has read a number of good books. The old fellow's wife is also quite well posted, and like her husband, is an example of the old type of colored people. "Honey" claims that the average young man of today does not get the necessary amount of sleep, that he does not follow the ways of a routine that he should. He says it is also true with the young women of today, generally speaking. He says that the irregular ways causes many of the people to die young in these hard times. The young folks go too much on music dancing, parties, joy riding and other things of gavety, the old fellow declares. In his time "Honey" was a popular violinist and dancer and even today he could entertain with his music and possibly could dance a little. But he says he was regular in his habits when he was a young fellow, and this accounts for his present activities. He will work for the county until the weather becomes warmer, when he will begin the work of getting McCook field in shape for the spring athletics. He has done work on McCook field for quite a while. "Honey" and his wife are members of the coloured people's Baptist church of Lawrence. "We have had a good time nearly every day of our lives and we are happy and contented," said "Honey" this morning. Pool and Billiard Parlor.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC:Mr. Theo Baughman is the authorized solicitor and traveling agent for the Topeka Plaindealer. We beg the public to give him their support as he is a man who is interested in the uplift of the race and will call on you not only to subscribe for the paper, but will interview you for write ups on leading men and women of our race, also cuts of prominent people and their homes in the various portions of the United States.-Nick Chiles, Editor and Owner of the Topeka Plaindealer. The time is now at hand when the colored people should get busy and clean up their back yards, rent their vacant lots, put in garden truck and raise a few chil kens and get a few hops. The present legislature of Kansas, now in session is to be commended for the great work they are doing. Heretofore, the legislatures have made it their indispensable duty to cry down corporations as a detriment to the state, the legislature and her progress. Business men can set up and take notice that their business will not be interfered with and they can go along and make contracts and arrangements for two years, hence, because this nature is trying to do business and remain in Kansas and others on the outside to come in and participate.

At 7:30 p.m. the choir rendered a very helpful sacred program. We should like to mention all the numbers, but suffice it to say that, every one on program rendered his part well. The Sunday school was largely attended and lessons interesting. At 0:00 p.m., the Endeavor carried out the "Founder's Day" program. Needless to say that all was well done and the exercises were splendid. Several were baptized at the altar at 11:00 a.m. and one at the evening service. It is more than gratifying to see so many apparently good and conseculous people coming into the church. Pastor Brown preached the funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Allen at the Presbyterian church at 3 p.m. Sunday. He also went to Lawrence Tuesday and preached the funeral of Mr. Barnett, one of the good trustees of St. Luke A. M. E. church. The Western University Band and three clubs concert at Metropolitan hall Thursday evening was quite a success noted. The Lincoln Day exercises at Saint John Friday evening under the Lincoln Day club, was also a very grand affair. All the speakers room to have been at the last. The special committee appointed by church conference last Wednesday night to plan for the coming financial campaign for the church, met following official board meeting the Wednesday evening and shading on some of the most logical and practical plans ever put into location by the church. These plans and its commendation will be brought back to the church conference next Thursday evening in the conference assembled for confirmation or question. Every member of the church should be present at this meeting to assist in adjusting just such methods as will be the most intelligent and assured success. It is wonderfully gratifying to see the interest apparently manifested for this worthy cause, so far, by the charity. The future look bright. Let us nothing good, let no one say anything that may now obstruct in the least. The trustees entertained the Circle Wednesday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Buckner, East Fifteenth street. The attendant was good and every thing was more than pleasant. Circle is doing some fine work for the good of the church and deserves to be encouraged. The stewardcases are taking on new life and all should help them. The Junior Stewardess were royally entertained at the home of Mrs. Blackwell Friday. Mrs. Smith, evangelist, of Oklahoma, is in the city and will speak at Sdnt John Sunday evening. All are welcome to worship with us. Our old printer friend, "Marah" G. Holloway, of Horten, attended the Lincoln Day banquet here last week, and while in the city made us a fraternal call. Besides being the main linotype squeeze on The Headlight-Commercial, Mr. Holloway publishes a neat little magazine called "The Sojourner." From a literary and typographical viewpoint, it is a gem and we gladly welcome it to our exchange table and wish Mr. Holloway and his Sojourner a smooth voyage on the journalistic sea. BROWN CHAPEL NOTES. (Rev. B. R. Rosa, Pastor.) The Sunday school was well attended. It seems like the blue ribbon has taken great hold on the pupils for punctuality. At 11 a. m., selection by the choir, prayer by Rev. A. DeMoss. S-scripte lesson St. Mark 121-34 led by Rev. A. DeMoss. sermon by the pastor, subject, "So Near and Yet so Far." He surely handled the subject with care and palms. He showed us very plainly where we could get so close to God and yet be lost. It was a wonderful sermon. We were made to declare it was good to be here. Junior Endaver at 3 p. m., Miss Louise Dupree superintendent. A. C. E. L. led by J. S. Chiles at 8 p.m. Selection by the choir, prayer by J. S. Chiles, sermon by the pastor, subject, "The Man who was Afraid." On Sunday evening Feb. 28 at 8 p.m., the Gospel Team from the First Methodist church led by W. T. Tiffany. Be sure and come and hear them as they are doing some good work. Don't forget the date. "Aunt" Lucy Chiles is on the sick list. Mr. Damon Donelly is very sick at this writing. Listen! Come and hear the splendid program that is being arranged for the week of March, beginning Monday evening March 22d and continuing throughout the week. See programs later. Our meetings are still being continued every evening. Wednesday evening Mrs. Smith, the evangelist from Oklahoma City, Okla., broke the bread of life to us using as a subject, "Faith." She is inked a God fearing woman and seemingly to be in the right place and is on the King's business and is on the right way of righteousness—pleading with men and women to come and accept Christ. WHERE OUR PEOPLE WILL RECEIVE A SQUARE DEAL! "The New Racket" at 021 Kansas avenue is the place that is supplying a long felt want among our people and The Plaindealer takes an especial pride in calling the attention of our readers to this worthy enterprise, and urge them to patronize this enterprise. Mr. J. Taylor, the proprietor, is a graduate and registered optician, and his long experience places him in the front rank of the profession. He is an educated and refined gentleman and his pleasing manner, honesty in all transactions makes it a pleasure to enter the store and transact business with him. Mr. Taylor's wares are just as represented—you get just what you pay for. We hear numerous complaints from many of our people about being alighted in business places, or if they send children to shop, they are oftimes humiliated by some clerk who may be suffering from a bad case of colorblindness but at Mr. Taylor's store you will not come in contact with things of this kind and your child will receive the same contested treatment as a "grown up," "The New Racket" and the proprietor are all right and The Plaindealer is glad to say a good word for them at every opportunity. Obituary. Mr. Thomas Jackson was born in Denton county, Kentucky, March 10, 1842. He died in Chicago, Jan. 27, 1915; aged 72 years, 10 months and 13 days. He first moved from Kentucky to Missouri, then from Missouri to Kansas a great many years ago. He followed railroading, but made his home in Tucson a good many years. His last work here was in the employ of the City street R, R, Co. He went to Chicago last fall and took paralysis and died there on date as stated above. He made a profession of the Christian religion many years ago and joined the Calvary Presbyterian church, but of late years has not been interested in the church life.

Mrs. John Ingram, formerly of this city, now of St. Joseph, Mo., was here on business Monday, returning home on the evening train. A boy in the Thomas Riley family, who lives on Walnut Creek, is very low with tuberculosis; and a girl in the same family is similarly afflicted. There were several to unite with the A. M. E. church last Sunday and Rev. J. D. C. Taylor, the pastor, reports the church in a better condition at present than it has been for a long time. It seems that since Rev. Taylor came here that the church took on new life and has been steadily advancing. It is out of debt, and it is no wonder that the members are proud of Rev. Taylor, as he has proven the worthiness of his calling. We are bagging for new school house for our children and the parents should see to it that a new school house be built. Ask for what you want. You have a light, and if you do not exist that light we will go on forever in that old trumbled down shack until by its own solution it will accumulate to mature and refuse longer to stand, and probably several lives lost in the end. Rev. W. H. Hill is doing a commendable work at the Presbyterian Baptist church and several additions made to the pill last Sunday. He provided a soul stirring sermon Sunday morning and a large congregation was out to enjoy the services. Rev. Hill, with the assistance of the members, is paying off the church debts, and expects to start on a new office as soon as those outstanding debts are sheared up.

Ventus Corn Just as Well as Any Expensive Contrivance. With an expenditure of half a dollar or even less and an hour's time a good corn tester may be made at home that will answer every purpose. This simple device for selecting good good cars is known as the "rag doll tester," probably because it resembles nothing more than a rag doll when it is rolled up and put to soak in a pail of water. Its efficiency was proved in several years' test of it at the Iowa agricultural experiment station, which says that it will select good cars as satisfactorily as the best ex-ample manufactured testers. Buy a few yards of sheeting of good quality and tear it into strips eight inches wide and from three to five inches long. If it is planned to use the strips a number of times bem the edges, as otherwise the ravelling some discarrange the kernels in unrolling. Down the middle of each cloth strip twice draw a line with a heavy pin. Then draw squares about three inches wide and number the squares. Wet one of the strips thoroughly and match it out in front of the cars to be tested. Take six kernels from car No. 1 and place in square No. 1; take six kernels from car No. 2 and place in square No. 2 and so on. when the cloth has been filled begin to roll and roll the cloth up. If the cloth is well molested the kernels will not push out of place. When the cloth has been rolled tie a string round each end rather loosely or, bet- ter still, use a rubber band. Number the roll No. Then proceed with No. In the same way. As many rolls may be used as are necessary to con- tain the corn which one has to test. from thirty to fifty ears can be teste- d each roll, depending upon the length of the strip of cloth. After the rolls have been filled they should be placed in a bucket or tub of water, where they may remain from two to eighteen hours, depending upon the preference of the operator. At the end of this time pour off the water and then the bucket or tub upside down over the rolls or use a common dry wood box for this purpose. A couple of small pieces of wood should be under the rolls and one edge of the roll should be lifted from one-half to one inch in order to give ventilation. At the end of five days the kernels should be ready to read. Depending upon the arrangement of ears, select either roll No. 1 or the last roll filled. This cloth will be rolled in front of the ears represented. Examine all kernels carefully. In all cases in which all six kernels are strong, in germination the ear should be thrown away.—Farm Press. Truck For Spool Fence Wire In the accompanying illustration, taken with the description from Popular Mechanics, is shown a handy rig for carrying a spool of barbed wire. BREACH WIRE TRUCK, SIMILAR TO A BAG-GLASS TRUCK, WITH A BOD BETWEEN THE HANDLES FOR THE SPOOL. When putting up a fence. The manner of construction is obvious. The spool of wire can be easily handled by one man with this device. Economical Has Traugh. When rough lumber is $18 a thousand, about the price at present, a six foot hog trough made of two, inch plank costs about 20 cents for lumber. Labor and nails add 25 cents to the cost. Hog destroy from one to three each trophys in a year. Feed gets wasted, too, for a new trough is selvedge made till the old one is poorer than it ought to be. Three troughs at the above estimate cost $2.25. An iron trough six feet long costs $2.25 and will last a lifetime.—American "Agricultural." Heavy Fertilization Is Best. the wheat fertilization experiments at the Indiana experiment station on clay and team soils the complete fertilizer more the largest average increase and the greatest average profit per acre. The use of 200 pounds of fertilizer per acre wheat proved more profitable than the use of 100 pounds per acre. Thus Are Worth Received. You can be bridging progress by an hour, and then time to do it. A man who could invest a quarter and get back a dollar and a half would think he had something good thing. That is almost what others can do in the handling of measure. Twenty-five cents worth of acid photos added to the sterile mixture will return 180 cents, worth of crops. The Ohio experiment station has proved that ordinary farmers have found it to be safe and yet most of us fail to invest the quarter or make the worse mistake of failing to care for the manure at all—National stockman and Farmer. Spanards Methods May Be Good For Others to imitate. From Spain comes the report of a spanard who grew four crops of potatoes on the same land in twelve months. The potatoes were grown under ordinary conditions, and the ground was fertilised with horse manure. First crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Aug. 22 and dug Nov. 6, 1911, hair size, firm and good quality; second crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Nov. 9, 1911, and dug Feb. 19, 1912, hair size and very good quality; third crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Feb. 21 and dug May 19, 1912, large size and much better than those of preceding crops; fourth crop, Spanish seed potatoes, planted May 22 and dug Aug. 19, 1912, poor yield and potatoes small. The grower attributes the poor quality of the last crop to inferior seed; lack of water for irrigation and to several very hot winds that prevailed in July; but, as in other years, the crop of this same period has been a good one, the low yield of 1012 does not detract from the feasibility of the plan.—Rural New Yorker. FOES OF THE ROSEBUD. Get After the Fly and the Slug if You Want to Save Your Flewers. To destroy the green fly, colonies of which congregate on the young growth of the rosebushes and suck the juices of the plant, and other insect pests, we spray the bushes with tobacco dust after wetting them so the dust will adhere. We have also found fresh white hellebore dusted on the bushes a very good remedy. A sifter can be made by punching the cover of a baking powder can full of small holes and using the can in the same manner as a salt or penner shaker. The rose slug, a light green worm that eats the leaves, may be controlled by applying whale oil soap, one-half pound dissolved in four gallons of water. The rose bug, a hard shell beetle that eats the leaves and blossoms and greatly damages the roses, is best controlled by hand picking or knocking off on a sheet in the early morning. Rosebushes can be kept quite free of insects, however, by liberally and frequently sprinkling with tobacco dust.-Rural Life. Keen the Calves "Coming." The calves must be kept "coming," whether they suck the cows or are hand fed. Skimmilk calves grow strong and thrifty if given a chance. Their milk has to be clean and enough of it. With it they need something to take the place of the cream that is gums. Corn is a good substitute. Oats help also. Ground flaxseed in the milk is fine, but it costs too much these days. For cheapness and results corn and oats crushed together or just plain corn coarsely ground and fed dry are hard to beat—lows Homestead. Hand or Power Spraying$ Hand spraying is more expensive than power spraying. The cost varies much in different cases, depending on the efficiency of labor, convenience and other essentials, and much depends on the apparatus used. The pump should have capacity to maintain high pressure, and the nozzle must throw a fine spray. The requirements are the same for every kind of spraying—Farm Progress Handy Trash Cleaner To a short piece of half round post securely tack on the curved side with shingle nails a sheet of heavy galvanised iron about fifteen inches long.

She died Feb. 10, 1915, aged sixty-two years and five months. She was married to Mr. P. M. Allen in Topeka in 1889, remaining his faithful wife until death. She be amicable to Christianity more than forty years ago, and joined the Baptist church. Several years ago she became a member of the Presbyterian church, being about the same time that she was married to Mr. Allen. She remained a faithful member of Calvary Presbyterian church until death, having served as president of the Willing Workers' club and various other organizations of the church. She was very highly esteemed by the members of the various churches of Topeka. She was was a member of the Order of Eastern Star Chapter No. 8 for more than twenty-four years. She had been in failing health for about four years, and became seriously ill about four months ago. She bore her sickness with marked patience. While she was grateful to all for the smallest favor, she was inclined not to want to disturb or be of more trouble to any one than she could possibly help. She did not even desire to burden the sisters of the lodge with having to sit up with and care for her. She was always very happy as a Christian, ever ready to give an account of the hope within her. The day before her death, she sang part of the following songs: "On Jordan's Stormy Banks," "There is a Land of Pure Delight," and "I am Going to Spread Eternity Singing Around the Throne." When asked by her husband just before dying, how it was with her, she answered, "All is well, All is well!" She then called for Julia, While Mrs. Pearl Martin was singing, "Nearer My God to Thee," she quietly fell asleep in the Arms of Jesus. More than two months before her death, she asked Rev. J. M. Brown to preach her funeral, which had been her request for many years, from 2 Tim, 4:7. "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith," she also asked that he sing, "What a friend we have in Jesus," "She leaves to mourn, a husband, one brother, four nephews, other relatives and friends, all relatives, with few exceptions living in Topeka.

Testimonials: Dear Madam:—This is to certify that I have been taking treatments from Mrs. R. B. Berry, for the last five months, and can say that my hair has greatly improved. Mrs. Berry has finished the Oxford College Course, which, in my judgment is the best course I know. If you want your hair to grow, take treatments from Oxford College graduates. Yours very truly, Mrs. M. A. Bray. Texarkana, Tex. Oak St. The Oxford College treatment, when applied by Mrs. R. B. Berry, who has finished the course from that place, will work wonders with your hair. Tewarkana, Tex. 720 N. 6th St. Dear Madam: I wish to express my gratitude to those who are head of Oxford College for the help they have been to me through Mrs. R. B. Berry. To have seen me when I began the treatments, and to contrast the difference now, you would say I have a new head. Do you wish to have long, beautiful hair? Permit, if you please, Mrs. R. B. Berry to use the Oxford treatment on your hair. Mrs. Nancy Pettis. Texarkana, Texas. My husband suffered with a bad case of Tetter. He scratched his head so until I was ashamed for him. We used every thing anyone would tell us. A friend was telling me of Mrs. Berry's treatment, so I thought I would try it, and I found it the best food for the scalp I ever used. The Tetter is gone and the hair is growing nicely. May God bless this wonderful treatment. Mrs. Albert Wise. Texarkana, Texas.
