Plaindealer

The Topeka Plaindealer As we to go Press, the Hell Hounds of Texas are Being Given a Lesson in How to Respect United States Soldiers Nineteenth Year. *No. 35* This is the former home of Nathaniel Sawyer and G. F. Clinkscale of Topoka, Prof. Hereford and Nelson Crows of Kansas City. It is said that this town has furnished more educated colored men for Kansas and Missouri than any other town of theire anywhere. We can not see how it occurred, for we found fewer colored people reading papers and books than in any town we have visited. We found one colored man running a lunch stand and making good at it. In all the towns in Missouri that we visited on this trip we found no colored people engaged in business except at Chillicothe and Macon, and at these places we found restaurants and confectioneries. The people seem to lack push and energy, and we suppose it is on account of the effects of slavery, from which they have not get recovered. We saw our old friend Creece Jones, who has been in that town fifty years. He owns property and is getting along nicely. BROOKFIELD. Brookfield is a division on the Bullington and has a colored population of about 150. We found one colored man doing well in the taxicab business. Here are to be found two or three saloons, and colored men drinking at the lower end of the bar. Here is where you find the bar bites and a few greasy, loafing colored men who show that they are slaves to whisky. They look dull and shabby, with uncombed hair, and they stand around waiting for someone to treat them. We found about a dozen of this type. We met Mrs. Sophia Towers, who is one of our old subscribers. She keeps a good boarding house and has splendid business qualifications. She owns good property and is making money. She is assisted by her daughter, Mrs. Stella Phoenix, who has a daughter attending Western University. MACON. This is a college town, and here is located the Baptist college for Missouri and the West. This school turns out ministers and other scholars who are making good in all walks of life. More men and women have gone from this school and made good than from any other school in the West. Prof Inman Page is president, and his name is enough to guarantee that the school is as represented. Meron has a class of good colored people who own nice homes and are progressive. Rev Howard and wife have a nice home and a fine, up-to-date conference close to Mason College Mrs Howard has charge of the business, and as they are doing others can do in other towns. There is an old colored gentleman who has a "restaurant" down town, but he has nothing in it to sell; he large sign advertising fresh fish, but he only has fish on Saturdays, and those who buy the fish must take them home and cook them. He sells a little cake cup and ice cream in summer, and the Lord only knows what he sells in winter. If some energetic colored person would get hold of this business he could make money. Mr. Jacob Maxwell, the truck gardener of the town, is a fine young man and owns a rixty acre farm at another place, and a truck farm near town. He farms on a scientific basis and is making good. C. M. Johnson, who has lived in this town several years, owns a nice home. Mr. H. D. Mott owns good property. Mr. Thos. Adams, who is junior at the court house, owns a nice little store at his home. This shows progress and we would like to see more men of his type. Mr. Henry Bragg is employed at the postoffice and is making good. He is one of the town's most progressive citizens. We stopped only a few hours in town and while here was the guest of Dr. J. E. Smith. He has a beautiful home, and his estimable wife and daughter complete the household. Mrs Katherine is a beautiful and highly cultured young lady who has a fine voice and we predict OUR NEIGHBORS IN OTHER CITIES The Editor Notes Many Interesting Things Among People of the Race. We visited Maryville, Galatin, Trenton, Chillicothe, Brookfield, Macon and Norbome, Mo., a few days ago in the interest of the Plaindaler, MARYVILLE. At Maryville we found a clean little city with about 150 colored people, all working and seeming to be industrious. The colored people for the most part own their homes and they speak very encouragingly of the treatment they receive from the white people. We stopped at the home of Rev. J. D. Wells, pastor of the A. M. E. church. He is a bachelor and is beginning to feel the need of a wife. If some good woman would correspond with him she would have no trouble securing him. He has remodeled his church, and we must say that it is the most beautiful church for a country village we ever saw. Rev. Wells raises chickens and hogs and has a nice garden. We also met Mr. H. Wilson, who has been in the town several years and owns good property. He is an influential citizen. Mrs J. H. Malcome, one of the caterers of the town, is doing fine and owns a nice home. What is needed at Maryville is that instead of having male teachers, women should be employed. It was to our surprise and disgust that we were told by the pastor of the church that there was no young lady in the town who can play the piano, and the reason given for this condition was because no public school teacher who comes to the town cares to take pains to see that the people are educated along musical lines. Now, what the people of that town want to do is to get together and employ some lady teacher who has musical ability and will be a help to the community and to the church. We do not think very much of a man who will hang on to a school for $60 or $70 a month for seven months in the year, when he could be making more somewhere else and giving expression to his ability. When a man has a good education as a school teacher and can not rise above a position as instructor in a country school, he should seek mechanical labor at $2 and $3 a day. We find this condition existing in a great many places in Missouri, and these towns should do away with men teachers and fill the plates with women. GALLATIN. Our next stop was at Gallatin. We got out at Wahsh Junction and took an automobile to the town two miles away. A peculiar thing about many Missouri towns is that most of the county seats are from one-half mile to three miles from the depot. Gallatin is a slow, easy-going place and the old ex-shelolders still predominate. There are about 100 colored people here and most of them own their homes. They have two churches. The people of the town will probably wake up when Gabriel blows his burn, for both races are sleeping quietly and peaceably. We stopped with Mr. James Butts one of our subscribers and an old citizen and landmark of the town. Mrs. Butts, his good wife, is a fine woman and we enjoyed a good wholesome meal prepared by her. She is one of those old-timers and knows how to cook. We fund Mr. Wint. Downing and wife progressing nicely. They own good property and have lived in Galilah about ten years. Mr. Jefferson Halloway is a brilliant old gentleman whom we were pleased to meet. He is an old soldier, having served in the rebellion. TRENTON. We arrived at Trenton late at night and had to arouse our friend, Rev J. B. Bryant, who is pastor of the A. M. B. church and who kindly arose from his bed and took us to the home of Miss Edna Cooper and her parents, where we stopped, and we have never been entertained better anywhere. Miss Cooper is one of the popular school teachers and church workers and the pride of Trenton. She is a young woman who is very deserving and looks after the people who cannot read or write. She gives them any information they may desire. We do not know what the people there will do when some young man changes her name and takes her to another town. We expert there will be a general uprising. Row Bryant and wife are much heavier and respected by the people of Tromont. He has improved his chuck and next year will build a parapenage, a nice bunzabaw, which will compare favorably with any house of its size in the town. Tromont has a colored population of about 200 and from the prospect we do not think the population will increase very fast unless some newcomers move from the country or from some village where people are not so wise. We are told that there has only been one baby born in this town in two years. At this rate there will not be many colored people left in Trenton in the next quarter of a century. If the ministers expect their churches to prosper and their schools to grow, they had better get busy and hurry the people up to their sense of duty, or, as we have said, they will soon become extinct. We met our friend Harrison Steele, who is a widower. He is a contractor and has several pieces of property. He says he wants a young wife, and he is amply able to take care of a good wife, so any young lady wishing a good old darling should try to get into communication with Mr. Steele. We met Mrs. Mary Bummell and husband. They live on a farm, own good property and have a fine family of children. We met Mr. and Mrs. Burke. Mrs. Burke is a sister of Frost. Clinkscale of Topeka. Mr. Burke owns a barber shop and is doing well. CHILLICOTHE BROOKFIELD MACON TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING AUGUST 24, 1917 THE AGRICULTURE BUILDING, STATE FAIR, HUTCHINSON. that within the next few years there will be no finer anger in the country than this young lady. Dr. Smith enjoys a large practice among both races and keeps busy. We are under obligations to him for the many courtesies shown us and he has our best wishes for continued success. He is the leader of the colored people of that town. MOBERLY. We passed through Moberly on our way to Norborne. This is the town where the colored people know less than they do in any other town in the United States. We think it is on account of slavery or the effects of slavery. We speak of the majority of the colored people. Of course there are some excellent people here who own good homes, but the non-progressives predominate. NORBORNE. We stopped at Norborne for the first time. Norborne is a progressive little town in one of the wealthy sections of Missouri. There are about fifty colored people here and they have one church, the A. M. E., of which Rev. J. Siler is pastor. He succeeded in buying a building and is moving it on the location of the former church. We must say that it is one of the nicest in the state of Missouri, is finely furnished and the church is almost out of debt. Rev. Siler is to be commended, for he not only preaches on Sunday, but is a beacon light for the people in that town. He has a good garden spot and raises plenty of foodstuffs. He has made a specialty of raising fine chickens and has about 300. He sells the eggs at 50 cents to $1 a setting. Here we met Mr. John Marlow, who owns a bungalow that is as nice as any in the larger cities owned by colored people. He has a clothes cleaning establishment and is assisted by his wife. We met Mr. M. A. Howe, who has lived in Norborne forty years. He is a finner and is one of the town's most substantial citizens, owns his home and is an excellent gentleman. Mr. Chas. Thompson is one of the old timers. He owns a threshing machine and is doing fine. He employs eight or ten people. We like Norborne and shall visit there again. INDEPENDENCE We visited Independence and found our all friend Dem Hawkins still employed by the city as poundmaster. He is also a special officer on the police force and is making money. We met Miss N C Pooh, who has been employed in the laundry for years. She is a gift church worker and an upright Christian lady. She has succeeded in organizing a union choir composed of members from all the churches and they are making good. The people are proud of her for she is an industrious young lady, and some good man is losing in opportunity by not entering the ST JOSCPI Upon our recent visit to St. Joseph we were agreeably surprised when we learned that Dr. R. Beshare, the popular dentist, had recently married Miss Tena Jeasamine Burns, the ceremony occurring at the home of the bride's sister Mrs. R. G. Armstrong, Rev. N. C. Purner pastor of the A. M. K. church, officiating. They had a six clock breakfast and then motored to Great Bend, Kun., to visit some friends of both contracting parties. This couple is among St. Joe's most popular young people and they have the best wishes of their many friends for a long and happy voyage through life. We visited the home of Dr. E. Y. Strong while in St. Joseph and must say that he has one of the finest and most in-ordinate bungeaus we have visited for many a day. Dr Strong is a fine young physician and surgeon and is making good. He attended Lincoln Institute and is a graduate of Howard University. He married a young lady from one of St. Joe's best families and they are certainly enjoyful life. They have an electric washing and sewing machine and an automobile. We met our old friend Anthony Morton, who has lived in that town over forty years and has been in the mail service most of that time. He collects mail from the boxes. Mr. Morton owns several good pieces of property, is a Christian gentleman in all is highly respected by everybody who knows him. He is always on the job and the daily papers recently paid him one of the highest compliments ever paid anyone in the mail service, as did also the postmaster. He recently bought an auto machine in which to collect the mail. Moore & Bell are among the leading barbers of St. Joseph and have been in business ten or twelve years.

TUSKEGEE COURSE IN AGRICULTURE Great School is One of the Best Equipped Institutions in the United States. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Boker T. Washington preached farming, living on the farm, growing more food products, in feed, becoming independent through farming. Three or four years after he had espoused this doctrine the United States government, the food specialists and the whole world begin to preach the same for all people. What the Negro statesmen preached abroad, he sought to practice at home. He always maintained a flourishing garden; indeed, one of his pastimes, when he was at home, was gathering and sending out to the neighboring vegetables from his garden. He kept hens, geese, ducks, all kinds of fowl, and allowed nobody to gather the eggs but himself. He kept pigs, which were his favorite animals, and fed them himself. Doing the thing first himself, he insisted that the agricultural department of his school keep to the forefront in all farming activities. It is only in these trying days that the Tuskegee Institute farm appreciates his rigid insistence on up-to-date farming. Seeing this and realizing the pressure of the times, the department of agriculture of the Booker T. Washington school is driving in the spurs, to intensify the studies in each of its courses, to make farming in all its branches very practical and attractive, to turn out leaders in community and state farming. 13. Negro school in the world is better equipped for the purpose. A three-story, agricultural building, with class rooms, office rooms, assembly rooms, laboratories, agricultural museum; a large farm, raising all the products common in the South exposition; a truck garden raising every variety of foodstuff; and an orchard, a swine herd with several varieties of the best breeds of pigs; a dairy herd with the leading breeds of cattle; a horse barn with mules and horses; a poultry yard; a veterinary hospital, to study the lills and cure of animals; and an experiment station, to examine the lills and cure of plants—all these make up the great laboratory in which to train the Negro boy and the Negro girl as scientific and practical farmers. The course of study covers a period of four years. In a broad way, it gives plant study the first two years; animal study in years three and four. Beginning with the junior class, the students of the agricultural department spend one-half of each day in the study and practice of agriculture. Marking off the two main divisions as mentioned of all farming, namely, plant and animal life, the department of agriculture gives the subjects and the phases of subjects by grades as best suited to the classification of the student. While pursuing academic studies which correspond roughly to the seventh grade the junior class studies in agriculture, soils and fertilizers, live stock, farm crops and agricultural drawing during the first half year, adding dairying the second half. In the B middle year, the classes study seed and seed testing, garden crops, farm crops, live stock, during the first half year, and fruit culture, market and marketing with farm crops the second half. In the A middle class the students add to their courses feed and feeding, farm engineering, agricultural factiology and farm sanitation, insects and spraying, fruit, entymology and canning. The senior class adds agricultural chemistry, farm management, farm accounts, landscape gardening, agricultural extension work, such as is done under the Smith-Lever bill, corn club and pig club work. But farmers have more to do than to farm. The tools and implements of the soil have to be kept in shape, homes have to be built and kept up. Hence certain short courses in mechanics are required in the four years study of agriculture. A junior studies wood work, a B middler studies iron work and leather work, and an A middler painting, cement and brick work; the senior, farm mechanics, in addition to regular agricultural studies already outlined. Again, in their literary work, the courses of the student of the soil take on a certain twist to supplement work in agriculture. His English composition, his grammar, his rhetoric, his public speaking, his economics, his course in education, his arithmetic, all have for their theme farming. His sentences are on farming. His arithmetic problems deal with farming. His course in education studies Burbank, Knapp and Morrell and the Smith-Lever act, rather than Aristotle and Pestalozzi. Along with the routine work there are two main sources of inspiration for the student in this department. The first is a weekly assembly of all classes in the department. Gathering in the assembly room of the Milbank agricultural building, the students and their instructors confer on various agricultural problems and discussions, listen to inspirational lectures by outside men and by experts in various branches of farming. These experts are not always men from the schools. Often they are men and women who have made their reputation as practical farmers and farm business men; or they are frequently men and women who are studying a few weeks side by side with the students, studying the two months course in soils and plants or in animals and animal products, which the department is offering. To these individual cases are added what for years has been known as the short course and the farmers' conference. Here again is a great inspiration as well as much knowledge in agriculture. The student men who, with all kinds of limitations in education, in money, in locality, with all sorts of odds, such as prejudice and injustice against them, have triumphed, have wrested money, intelligence and wealth from the soil. Thus is he spurred on to reason that if such men and women have succeeded in spite of ignorance and poverty, how fair must be the way for him, skilled in many branches of the subject and having a knowledge of the business of farming, the chemistry of the soil and an acquaintance with the demands of the market. Reverting to his specific training in agriculture, the student finds his work set off into two main divisions. He has his study and practice in prescribed area, then goes into the productive departments of the school to increase his efficiency. Thus in the study of dairying he has in his class a cow or two. He studies in general the figure of the animal, the eve, the curs, the horns, the mouth, the chest, the trunk, the udder. He learns the kind of body a good dairy cow should have. He learns how to curry and clean the cow; how to treat her to get the most milk; how to feed her in various seasons to get the most milk and the best yield of butter; how to cure her more common ill. He learns what breed of cow is best for milk producing, what is best for butter or cream, what is best for all-round use. When his knowledge is thus perfected in handling one to five cows, he is sent to the school's large dairy barn of fifty Price $1.50 Per Year. or more cows to apply on a large scale what he has learned in a sort of class room laboratory. So he does with the pig, with the chicken, with the horse, with farm crops, with fruit trees, with trucking, studying intensely isolated cases first, then applying his knowledge to the large group. Further, before the student is granted a diploma he must pass one more course. It is a course in work on the farm. All the studies thus far, though on a large scale, have about them the idea of school. The student must pass the test in an actual situation. Thus before he can gain his diploma he must have completed twelve months work on the actual farm. This time may be spent on the school's farm or on some farm or plantation approved by the school. This with the regular academic work pursued by all students in the school gains him a diploma. And it is hoped that he will be in a measure what Dr. Washington eagerly wished for all such students—a skilled farmer, an intelligent live stock man, a good teacher, and a rural community leader and builder. Popular Young Teacher Laid to Rest on Saturday The heart of the entire community were bowed in sorrow Tuesday, Aug. 15th as the news spread over the city that Miss Willa Abe Cooper had passed to a higher life that morning at Colorado Springs, Colo., where she had gone a month previous for the benefit of her shattered health. Miss Cooper was the youngest daughter of Mr. W. D. Cooper of this city. She was one of the state's brightest and most lovable young ladies and that her untimely passing is keenly felt was evidenced by our pressions of sorrow and regret by men, women and children of both races. She had taught in the public schools, where her strong character and sterling worth proved a strong factor in the uplift and advancement of the future and women into whose hands will soon be thrust the destiny of a struggling race. By precept and example she proved to them that the knowledge of books without true character and moral worth are but chaff cast before the winds. Here was a busy life from the beginning of her journey upon life's highway twenty-three years ago until her soul was summoned to its Creator on the date mentioned in a preceding paragraph. As a child, Miss Willa Abe never found time for the things that claim the attention of children of tender years, always applying her thoughts and energies to matters taken up by those of more advanced years. It seemed that she had a work to do that required her immediate attention, and now that the end has come, who knows but what some Divine spirit whispered, "I hurry, your stay is short?" Thus her brief sojourn ended, but there is a sweetness in her memory that will ever live and the thoughts of her always pleasant amide as she greeted friends will be a happy inspiration to the desolate mind and a consolation that the world is better, brighter and sweeter on account of her having dwelled in it. As a daughter she was obedient, kind and loving; as a sister she was sacrificing and devoted; as a friend and neighbor she was broad, liberal and true to every trust, and thus she wove about her a web of faithful friends who bow in sorrow with the bereaved father and sisters. Miss Willa Abe Cooper was born in Topeka twenty three years ago where was reared and educated and resided until Aug. 14, 1907, when is the presence of her sister, Miss Emma Ellen, and her devoted friends, Miss Diffie Burge, Thelma Chiles and Messlames Lucy Jordan and Arnicholli Williams, she passed to a higher life. She was a graduate of the Topeka High school and State Manual Training school at Pittsburg where she was taking a post course at the time she was taken ill. She also taught in the public schools of Topeka. She professed a faith in the religion of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and was also a member of the Household of Ruth under whose auspices brief funeral services were held from the family residence, 1314 Jackson street at 10:00 o'clock Saturday morning. The Rev. F. Jesse Peck, pastor of Saint John, A. M. E. church, offered and paid a glowing tribute to the memory of the deceased Employees from the Santa Fe offices where the father works, club girls and teachers turned out in a body. Touching and appropriate songs were rendered by Miss Ruby McKnight, Mrs. J. M. Wright and Mrs. C. Gentry. At the close of the services the big gray funeral car followed by automobiles went its way to Mount Auburn cemetery where the remains were laid to rest beside the mother who preceded her many years ago. May angels guard her soul. Decreased is survived by her father and two sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Sheppard, Los Angeles, Calif.; Miss Emma Ellen Cooper, Topeka, and numerous other relatives. -I. S.

Mr. Henry Perry, the barbecue king of Kansas City, is putting in a plant to make rabbit sausage and it will be in operation about the first of September. Larson Brothers, one of the oldest and best established grocery firms in the West, located in Kansas City, Kan., for the past quarter of a century, control all the business in that part of the state and a large part of other states. These gentlemen are fine business men, courteous and polite Christian gentlemen, for which reason they prosper. We are at a loss to know why so many colored physicians fall over themselves making application to get into the medical department of the army, when after getting their commissions they have not been ordered anywhere nor are they drawing any salary. We can not understand why so many of our educated men make such fools of themselves. White men are being called in all departments of the army, but nothing has been done to encourage the colored man or make him feel that he is an American citizen. We see that calls are being sent out every day from Washington for men to fill positions in all departments, yet the colored men are running over themselves for appointments. We hope they will learn something later on. DUNLAP, KAN. Beginning on Sunday, August 5, at least three inches of rain fell during the week.
