Gabetha, Kans., Dec, 1,—Ifoward Wilson, son of a Negro farmer near here, grew an average of 102% bu shels of corn on five acres in the Kansas Agricultural College corn growing contest this year. James Wilson, the father, grew eighty- seven bushels of corn to the acre on 126 acres. Wilson will not permit a riding cultivator on his farm. It is to this and the fact that he plows deep that he attributes most of his success. Wilson grew more corn hiss season than his white neighbors. The reason for the walking cultiva- tars is that when the cultivator missea a weed the driver will stoop and pick it up, whereas on u riding cultivator the driver wil] not get down and pull weeds missed. A man could carry all the weeds on the en tire three hundred and twenty acres Wilson is farming, ——aA- -- CHETORPA. KANSAS. Dr. R. E. Smith of Parsons was in the city last week visiting fricnds.

Mr. Pryor Dicky, one of the wealthy colored farmers of the state, located at Old Well, Kun, attended the Farmers' Convention last week. In speaking of the country and the outlook for the Negro at large, Mr. Dickey does not take a hopeful view of things from the fact that he just returned from a visit to Kentucky, where he went to see his relatives. He was at Bowling Green, where he spent his boyhood days, and he says he is compled to say that the Negro is losing ground; that the white man will not rent him over three or four acres of ground because he is afraid the Negro will become too prosperous. Mr. Dickey also says that the races are becoming more mixed in the South and it is hard to tell one race from the other; that the accommodation on the Jim Crow cars is unambiguous, and that the rebels do not respect the rights of the colored people. He can not understand why such conditions exist, and he knows of no remedy to better conditions. Mr. Dickey owns a fine auto and enjoys life on his big farm. He is a great wheat grower, BOOKER T.

Ice cream in colors, fish, opusum with the necessaries, baked chicken, chitterlings, sandwiches, pickles, assorted cakes, cold pop, etc., were served to a packed house. Mrs. Henrietta Tyler, captain of the Blues, brought forward $23. Mrs. A. F. Greene, captain of the Pinks, took the prize for $27.31. Rev. R. C.

Cincinnati, O., Dec. 17, 1915.—A well known Distiller of this city has just produced a Concentrated Extract, with which anyone can now make right at home, any Whiskey, Liquor or Cordial, at a saving of over fifty per cent of the Liquor Dealers' prices. It's very simple and easy. A few minutes does the work, to immer no aparatus no boiling, no experience whatever. It is said that the Liquors made are for superior to those that can be purchased at most Liquor Stores, and as a result of this discovery thousands of people all over the country are already making their own Liquors at Home. The legality of this method has been carefully investigated by the highest authorities and found to comply with the Laws in every respect. No one now need be without their favorite Liquor as it can be made right at home or anywhere in a jiffy, just when wanted. The news of this amusing discovery has startled the country and he has already received thousands of letters of praise. Anyone can try a quart of his favorite Liquor free by writing to M. W. Prickett, 1615 Universal Ridge, Cincinnati, O., and ask for his interesting booklet, "Secrets of Making Liquors at Home," which he will send free to anyone sending their same ad address.

I came from Wilberforce University bere last July and wat here but a few days before 1 went to Portland, Ore. to attend the annual conference, There we were the guests of our son from Kansas, Rew J. 1. Craw, and his wife, Mrs Lillian Jelts Craw, the Topeka pro: duct who has mo euperior in church work, Rev. Craw and family are now in Los Angeles, where he is pastor of our First church, Before leaving this conference we made him the leader of our delegation to the Cen- tennial Anniversary of our church. This shows that his obedicnce to Horace Greeley’s “Son, go west and grow up with the country” was not in vain, and to go to the largest appointment in the West after four years is no » bad achievement, Dr. C, N. Douglass, one of the ol4 landmarks of African Methodism, {s the other detegate to Phitadelphin. Ne ta a min we can't do without. The young men of the conference havo no desire to supplant such fathers as he, for he keeps aprce with the needs of the church, Wherever 1 go I try to leave a Plaindeiler subscriber. 1 hope you are still sending the piper to Onio and recciving the subscription to It.

It is very unfortunate that the mayor of Topcka (House) did not get off the train when he passed through Butte. He received the wrong Impression of the city. Our Commercial Club here I think wil! send, if it hasn't, a booklet of Butte so he can sce what a wonderful city it is. Butte has a pay roll of $20, 000,000 a yoar new money, Janitors receive $105 s month here as wages. Barbers get 75 cents for a hair cut and shave. But recently, since my coming here, we raised at ong little effort $250 for our church. Thanks- giving alone the lacies cleared $50 ata dinner and at a little bazar the Baptist church raised $75. These last affairs were of course, among the colored. T am as strong a son of Topeka as Mayor House, but I must say there are only two things in which Butte is behind Topeka, viz: Butte is a wet town and haa a restricted dis-, trict for immorality. Even of the first one Topeka {s not entirely ex-| empt, for Mayor House himself will not begin to aver that liquor is not so'd in Topeka. And But‘e makes up for its deficiency in this respect in two ways: First, when Butle adopts prohibition she will prohibit, not partially; accond she gives to all of her citizens suffrage and equal rights. Any pubile place in Butte will serve all races, whereas, mn Kansas avenue, under the shadow of the State House, where the Amer- can flag ix unfurled {and many thinks to Kansans who recently waved it at half mast for my step- father—=Tolliver Byrd) prominent laces will not serve any of the al-| nast 10,000 of my race, I do point to Top ka as my home own with much pride, Lowever, re-| rirding the rcetricted district, This} ' s the greatest stim? resting upon] ur «ty here Tut even recently; he mayor ordered one of the Targe, st svoons in tho city clo ed hes 1 ase it Wa in thot d strict, It he a numoor of diss, however, | cfee ‘Popa cin boast of 85,009) nhilut ints, enterprises piylag oat’: 1 New morey every yerr twenty | ; nition dollars, ‘Uhere are no banks , n Tope\a that can equal our mil | | on dollar capital Lanks.
