Thompson, SEO ee eres Beer ee The new day brings its troop of new duties, ahd we never can sit down and foel that we have no burdens, Ofttimes we get very tired of that, but there is aiwnys another side tu the mater that should not be forgat- ten. If the work never all gets pac. us, nejther do the opportunities; if there ate new dulics cuh day, so are there new hopes and new anilitions, or, at Teast, there ought to he. There Is to reason in the worll why we should not fill up the old re- curring duties with the elt oy of something new, frean and site ding At is so easy, in the m'dst of all the tashs that never get done, * Tet oureelves get dui and unamb tlous and self-centered, and settle down as if there were no new days or rosy dawns or fresh opportunitnes left anywhere In life. [Ie syne way to always keep well and happy in this life is to keep nopetuily, enthus- fastically busy. That is mB prpeeriee tion worth more that fifty that your physician will give you. The morning was hot and an oll man was trudging wearily to his work, across a hard-baked, stony field. The ‘path was rough, and he was fired already. His eyes ached with the dest and heat; but he plodded patiently on., Suddenly, almost un- der his feet, he spied the bright pur- ple of a morning-glory, dropped by a carelesa hand. Frail as it was, the old man bent and stroked the silky petals of the flower, and fell to thinking of happy childkood days, He left tne blossom beside the path, hoping it might belay @ message of gladness to other wayfarers; but he took with him a new warmth and cheer imparted by its_brightness, The seeds of kindness which we drop here and there, perhaps with thoughtless hand, may grow and bloom long after we have gone on our way, and bring a message of cheer to others. Let us never miss the opportunity for doing a kind deed, or let the encouraging word go un- spoken, eee Some years before his death, Dr. Booker 1’. Washington advocated the formation of pig clubs among the Negro boys and girls of the country, as a meins of encouragement of thrift, and furthermore as a means ef adding to the revenue of the fami- ly exchequer, Tis idea was for the parents to give eich child a p's, which the child should have the man- agement of, There were 4 great many of our people who were thoughtful cnough at the time the muggestion was offered to grawp this aplendid idea, and many boys and gr Were started on the Toad to self. lependence, The white people of the country were not slow ta take notice ef the fact that Dr, Washing- ten's idea waz a capital one, and as a result thousands of boys and girls have gone in for hog-raising, and many of them are making good. In view of the prevailing high prices of live stock, our people should awake to the importance of this pay- mg industry, Uf our people had heeded the nd- yice of Dr. Washington at the time he made the suggestion, they would have been worth several million dol- lara more than they are at this time, But it {s not too late even now to be. mn; with the majority of the world’s Reyslation locking to the United tates for their food supply, the re aponibitity of he!ping to furnish thle supply will fall upee the should- ers of every citizen of the rural dis- triets,. Beginning now, every family -nuld atart growing more live stock, et.ugh for home come ten and some to aell to the neighbors, and some to market. Those having farma of mulficient acreage should grow more gtain, which is neeqssary for the maintenance of live stock, There are great many things that can be planted during July that will be need ed to feed the people next winter. For ‘nstinee, beans and peas for cans ning ptiposes; black-eyed peas, cow. ie sweet coin, turnips, carrots, pect pumpkins, navy beans, cucums bore far pickling, and winter cab- vaye Sorghum cane may be plant. ed, ‘*ich will mike seol that mikes exertion feed for poultry, What. ever eon he plantel, 't should be done at ose beciure there are few people who sativa the serloueness of the foo' ob'em that may confront the cou? + next winter, oes ‘J! e-e are more than one kind of dirc> tent; discontent, however, is a grey ep In some instances, while on {'*-otker hand it may prove an inaveteonntable barrier, | Discontent iu » 4rag in one sense of the word, aad then ogain, it is a spur to drive us on. We dare not say too much epainst it, nor can we praise it too petty. It depends altogether on ind. There are 80 many of us who can think of people, and right around us, who are too contented. ‘There have been scholars in your class at echool who were always down neat the foot, and if their examination marks were enough to pass they were satisfied. We wil call the scholar in ques- tion Hannah Ann, In all probabil. ‘ty she has ability enough to do well, a she would,only wake up and fe ‘busy; but she is too contented, which sooner or tater will prove a serious Injury to her. ‘Hannah Ann ts a falr example of the wrong sort of discontent. Han- nah Ann fe always comparing her posressioons with those of some one more fortunate than she, Her new sult looks cheer and plain when she compares it with the costume of some one whose parents ate well to do, She never comes home but what she wishes the house was larger and that It was situated somewhere else. Hannah Ann {s dissatisfied with her friends because some are more beautiful and some more accomplish. cd than she; because some can shou prettier, and sing and play louder than she can. Hannah Ann's dis. content does nothing to improve mat- ters, but just keeps her out of sorts ant unhappy. We should never be 20 contented hat we are willing to leave things uk they are, instead of trying to mike hem as god as they can be, Pere naps the best rule for this vexea jwestion Is to try to be contented sith what cannot be helped, and cul- Ivate discontent with whatever needs rprovement. And then, whether ontented or disgitisfied, heep cheers ale GOVERNMENT AND THE COLOR LONE! We are informed that the medical department of the United States Government in soliciting applicants for physicians and rurgeons for the army omitted the colored doctors and went ta white colleges soliciting prospective graduates and when they considered they had enough, sit easy; but when the time came for these men to enlist, fifly per cent of them withdrew und the officials nre now asking colored men to join. In talk- ing to a colored physician the other day, he said that the government only paid $1600 a year to start with and that he could make more than that at ordinary practice and while it was not patriotism, that If the col- ored doctors had been treated fair and invited in the first place, bke other physicians, that he probabiy would have joined. This way of drawing the color line in the United States service, the Red Cross and medical department is all bash and moonshine and should not be tol- erated. —s»—— BETHEL,*KANSAS.

The Taborian lodge, with its scores of men, women and children, richly attired in paraphernalia characteristic of the principles held sacred by the order, were marching by the music of their own Taborian band into the Second Baptist church, 3rd and Quincy, promptly at 3 p. m. on the third Sunday in June, to render to God their annual Thanksgiving worship. Nearly four hundred members sat in the beautiful auditorium of the church. With their crowns, banners, flags and gorgeous costumes, enriched by friends and visitors, they formed one large, lovely bouquet. Mr. Wm. Buffington presided in his usual manner as a master of the situation. Scripture lesson was read by Dr. T. L. Griffith, pastor of the church and prayer was offered by Dr. Bolden of Lane Chapel C. M. E. church, Dr. Jos. T. Hill, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, was introduced as the speaker of the day, who delivered an eloquent, inspiring, forceful, spiritual sermon. His sermon was practical as well as helpful to all presents. The choir of the Second Baptist church rendered good music, adding greatly to the service. The vast audience with intense interest listened attentively to the splendid work done by the order, membership increased, all claims paid in full, home maintained and the successful handling of thousands of dollars annually were mong many of the good things considered by all. No order in the state of Kansas is so large, so well endowed, so helpful to the masses, of our race, as this order. From the viewpoint of one who stands without the impassion made by this order, its progress in many ways is quite encouraging and largely shows the Negro's capability and efficiency. Much credit is due the Rev. Frank Wilson and his faithful co-workers whose untiring efforts have brought these wonderful results. - J. D. R. Best of music and pictures at the Apex. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Brown have moved to their new home at Second and Poll streets and are now comfortably domiciled. Messrs Roger Campbell and Royal Tyler left one day last week for Great Bend and will work on the Robinson farm during the harvest season. Mrs. Lizzle Hagan Smith and little daughter, Mary Francis, have returned from Atchison, where they had been visiting her husband's parents. Miss Edna Roach, teacher of class No. 2, Second Baptist Sunday school is one of the most thoughtful young ladies along the line of interesting the children in the work in the city. Recently she promised a prize for those who would attend regularly for a period of three months. Instead of giving picture cards, Miss Roach presented the following pupils with "new" twenty-five cent pieces: Gertrude Johnson, Edith Johnson, Anna Sewall and Alice Stevenson. The Pierce Dramatic club will give a "Rain bow drill" and fish fry at Lakewood park Saturday evening, July 21. The following ladies will take part in the drill: Mesdames Mossie Hilton, Corn Finney, Katie Wilson, Hazel Waters, Mary Washington, Lillian Clark; Misses Noni and Melba Slaughter, May and Idella Woods, Viola Hilton, Myrtle Hanks, Vica Mae Williams. Mrs. G. A. Bigbee will have charge of the drill. Plenty of fish, pop and ice cream. Music by Pierce band. The public is invited. Admission free. The sweet, smiling face of Miss Minnie Jones brought back a memory of happy days in the past when she dropped in one day this week for a visit with the force. Miss Jones is the accomplished daughter of our townman, Mr. G. W. Jones, and a teacher in the public schools at Wichita and one of the brightest young women in the West, being a graduate of the Emporia State Normal and we are pleased to note that she is making good. Before entering into educational work, Miss Jones was a bookkeeper in this office. Dr. T. L. Griffith of the Second Baptist church, 3rd and Quincy, left Topeka Monday for Des Moines, J. L. to attend the Western Baptist convention. He was attired in a $50 broadcloth suit, tailor-made, the gift of his members. Mrs. Griffith was presented with a handsome dress pattern, of which both are more than grateful. Of such surprise was this kindly act that both Rev. and Mrs. Griffith were almost bereft of the power of speech. However, they will enjoy a vacation of three weeks and it is honored that by that time both will be fully recovered from this jolt of Christian goodness. Word comes to The Plaindealer from Kunisla City, Kas, telling of the ultimately demise of Eunetgary Beatrice, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward D. Montgomery, formerly of Tonka, which occurred July 1st. Services were held on the 4th the Rev. J. R. Richardson and Rev. Sims officiating, after which the remains were conveyed to Mpls. Full cemetery for interment. Little Eunetgary was a sweet, lovely girl of some three or four years and the sunshine and happiness of the Montgomery household, and host of good warm friends in the main join the Plaindealer in extending sympathy to the bereaved parents in the loss of their feet and only child. She was a granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. E. Moore, of Carbondale. (First Published in The Topka Plain dealer, Erdalen) July 6, 1937 dealer, Friday July 6, 1817.)

Weaver, Jr. Miss Minneola Murphy had the misfortune to fall and was seriously injured. Her hip was dislocated and her head badly bruised, but she is now resting easy at the home of her sister, Mrs. Genie Chiles, on East Seventeenth street. The Shamrock Art club was entertained Saturday of last week at the beautiful home of Mrs. Mollie Face. The occasion was a farewell to Mrs. Toliver Bird, who was leaving for California for an extended visit with her son, Rev. J. M. Brown. Mrs. Taylor of Leavenworth was present and made an inspiring talk, and after partaking of delicious refreshments all departed for their homes. One of the Haganbeck-Wallace funny men, who was mounted on a trick bicycle got a little too funny Wednesday while the show was on parade and ran down Mrs. Lana Grav, 1111 Monroe street, who was badly bruised and otherwise injured. A suit was filed against the circus owners for $2000 damages and after depositing a bond of $4,000, the show was permitted to depart. Through her attorney, Mr. Elisha Scott, the circus offered to settle for $150 which was refused. It seems that "Chiefie" Wilson has been retained as counsel for the circus as he called yesterday at the home of Mrs. Grav and it is said urged her to settle for the sum offered, and we are informed that he so excited the injured woman that a physician had to be called. This is a civil suit to be tried before the courts of Shawnee county and Jim Wilson has no business butting in. Had the Grav family done the right thing they would have showed Mr. Wilson the door. He has tried to engineer everything from a lynching bee down to the decorations in the store windows. This fellow ought to be muzzled. To Rent for Private Picnic Parties or Church Socials.

(Concluded From Page Ons.) have not heard of him and do not know whether or not anything serious happened to him or not. One thing we can be proud of at Dalton is the Masonic building owned by the colored Masons, built at a cost of $1800. It was erected by Mr. G. W. Boone, of Keytesville. It is built of corrugated steel. Mr. J. M. Barton is a teacher in the public schools. He is worshipful master of Mount Arrett Lodge. MARSHALL, which was our last stop, is a town where the effects of slavery still exists. The colored people have no stores or business of any kind except restaurants. Dr. W. H. Madison, a young physician is doing a fine business. He is an uncle of Mrs. W. E. Miller of Topeka. He has a fine auto, a nice office and is highly respected by the people of that town and community. While we were in the town a colored minstrel gave a show in a tent which would seat about 1500 people. We was the guest of the doctor and he invited us to attend the show and we did not even listen to the stale jokes of a minstrel, we accepted the invitation. The tent was stuffed with white and colored people and each had their different siles on which to sit, and the receive seats were for the white people. When the tent was neatly crowded some colored people cared in and as it was difficult to get a seat, the manager of the show went to two big, burly white men whom we were told officers of the law, and asked permission to seat the colored men and women in the rear of the reserved seats and these bosses shook their heads no. We suppose they must have been what were called "nigger drivers" before the war. The most peculiar thing about the audience was that colored people who had been sick near unto death before the minstrels came to town, were all at the show. The restaurant man closed his place of business to go to the show, remaining until it was out. This is he first time in the history of our life that we ever heard of minstrels having a concert after the regular performance; but that is what occurred at Marshall. When the show was nearly over, the man announced that when the last act ended, there would be a concert and expressed a hope that all would remain. About half of the people stayed to witness the "concert." The colored people had an installation of officers for some lodge booked for that night but the minstrels broke up the ceremony and the prayer and class service were also carried over until next time. In fact everything along social and business lines that the colored people had contemplated, was broken up in order that all might attend the minstrels. Families for many miles around were there, they quit work in the fields at noon and came to town in order to see the show. We visited the home of Mr. Konner, who is the leading Mason of the state. He has been ill for sometime but is much better. Here we met Rev. J. W. Jackson, pastor of the A. M. E. church and he has one of the finest churches we ever visited. Here too the colored people have no rooming house and we had to sit up all night in the C. & A. depot in order to catch a train the next morning to Kansas City. It is so much trouble in these small towns for travelers to find accommodations. We were taken to one rooming house and the landlord got a lantern to show us the room and when he opened the door, we could hardly get into the room for the oderifious smell of the foot power. Of course many colored men think anything is good enough for another member of the race no matter if he is clean, neat and intelligent or dirty and vicious, he treats all alike. One thing we have to say about several towns we visited in Missouri is that colored people do not care much about reading colored newspapers. Most of them are interested in baseball, prize fights and police court news. It is a shame and disgrace to talk to a man whom you think ought to be intelligent and have him tell you that he hasn't time to read a newspaper but this is the condition in a great many of the small towns in Missouri. The cause of this is the effect of slavery and the lack of school houses. Let the colored people wake up in old Missouri and get busy and strive for a better state, better homes and better education Leavenworth, Kun., June 16. The Mt.
