BANKS, Supervising Deputy of American Woodmen, State of Kansas and Vics-Chairman of the State District Convention Held at Lilie Rock, Arkansas, July 1 to 3. AMERICAN WOODMEN HOLD GREAT MEETING BY MATTE A. PERRINE. One of the grandest sessions ever held by any organization, was that of the District convention of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas, of the American Woodmen; the colored fraternal insurance order, was held in the city of Little Rock, Ark, July 1, 2, and 3, 1918, at the Arkansas Baptist college, corner of Sixteenth and High streets. The weather was ideal each day which made the meetings very pleasant. A large delegation was present from different points in Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri. The organization has a membership of 50,000 under the leadership of Hon. C. M. White, supreme commander. Monday evening, July 1, an excellent program was reuleder: 1. Song-America. 2. Invocation-I. D. Rasce. 3. Welcome on Behalf of the City-Hon C R Taylor, Mayor of Little Rock. 4. Vocal Solo—Mrs. C. R. McClure. 5. Response to Welcome—Hon. C. M. White Supreme Commander. 6. Instrumental Solo—Miss Ruth Hayman. Dr. G. W. Hayman acted as master of ceremonies. Tuesday Morning The Convention was opened at 9 o'clock. Immediately after the opening exercises, Hon C. M. White was escorted to the rostrum by Prof. W. B. Porter, of Boston, Okla., and was introduced by Deputy W. G. Banks, of Kansas City. Mr. White then made a very interesting talk on "The Purpose of the Convention." Every whit of Mr. White is an American Woodman, therefore in an able manner, he told to the great crowd, many good things that could be accomplished by a getting together once a year. At the close of his remarks, the following officers were elected: Chairman—Deputy E. R. Moody, Oklahoma City, Okla. Asst. Secretary—Miss Wallace, Little Rock, Ark. Little Rock, Ark. Reporter—Miss Mattle Perkins, Topeka, Kansas. The Chairman then appointed the different committees. After the report of the Committee on Credentials, the following sub- jects were discussed: 1—"The Duties and Responsibilities of the American Woodmen."—W. B. Walber, Muskogee, Okla. 2—"How may the officers of the local Camp promote its growth and development"—Prof. B. B. Young, Carlyle, Ark. 3—"The importance of paying axesessions in advance"—Deputy B. W.

Walker, Chickasha, Okla. 3—"What my Camp Has Done to Develop the Juvenile Department"—Miss Smith, St Louis, Mo 4—"The Responsibility of the Deputy and His Relationship to the Order he Represents."Deputy J. A. Allen, Little Rock, Ark. 5—Paper, "The Development of Fraternal Protection and its Present Outlook"—Deputy H. H. Moody, Oklahoma City, Okla. The paper by Mr Moody was one to be long remembered by all who heard it. Mr Moody is a bright man and in the course of his remarks said: "Every since divine injunction was uttered by the Father of the universe, there have been a growing tendency on the part of mankind to devise ways and means for the protection of the home as well as those of their associated fellow men to create a fraternal relation or the which would cement those sacred relations. This has been evidenced by the organization and development of a lone line of fraternal, benevolent institutions. Chief among those that might be mentioned are the Masons, Knights of Pythias and the Odd Fellows. These organizations have served their time and are still rendering valuable assistance in and under many varied and unwarranted conditions; and almost without regard to pay on the part of their great host of followers. They in their practically unsafe way, and many times in a feasible way and best of all, in a benevolent way, have looked after their constituents, cared for the wilds and orphans and have brought much sunshine into the dark, dismal valley of human life. God be praised that such noble institutions have existed, and are still existing. The good they have done the seed they have sown and the friendly relations they have created will live through ages. "Since these institutions have been operated by human beings, and since it is human to err, they have made some errors in recent years. It is not wise to promise or guarantee the protection of the home, the widow, the orphan, or the estate with an inadequate amount of finance to sustain the promise. John Jordan Upchurch, of Meadville, Penn., looked through the telescope of time, and was able years in advance to decide that the system of fraternal benevolence must eventually fall unless the system is changed. On Oct. 27, 1868 he decided on, and organized a system of fraternal insurance which has proven and is still proving the safest way. He decided that benevolence TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JULY 26, 1918 THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN HON. C. M.

Here inserted disability clauses guarantee certain cash as a means of spreading relief; that benevolence, sympathises and fraternal insurance pays. The American Woodmen are bringing light, relief and safe protection to sons and daughters of the African descent. By careful, tactful manipulation since the organization of these as well as other societies of the same character, there have been paid to widows, orphans and beneficiaries approximately three billion dollars and not only this but each year about one hundred and fifty million dollars in this way. Safety first is the motto of the fraternal insurance societies and has been since their organization, which has enabled them to go over rates; reducing instead of increasing death rates by securing safe risks. "Woodcraft is the guardian angel to the family and home. It protects its members, relieves in distress and honors its dead." The session closed Wednesday, July 3d at 1 o'clock. At 2:30 o'clock cars conveyed the large crowd to Camp Pike, which is about seven miles from Little Rock. The next meeting of the District Convention will be held in Kansas City, Kansas. Too much praise cannot be given to the local Camp at Little Rock for such a royal entertainment. THE ARKANSAS BAPTIST COLLEGE President Booker Has Built an Institution That is an Honor to the State. By MATTIE A. PERKINS. 1 Visited Little Rock, Hot Springs, Ark., Oklahoma City and Hennessy, Okla. Arkansas is noted for its Forest Primeval; 'the Murmuring Pines. For many miles I traveled through the giants of the Arkansas forest. Investments of outside capital in Arkansas may be considered from three standpoints: 1 Investments in public securities 2 Investments in private securities 3 Investments in real estate I will endeavor to give a brief bit of history concerning the state The last inhabitants of Arkansas of whom we have any record were the mysterious Mound builder : whence they came and whether they have gone we know not, but they Plaindealer play no slight skill in the potter's art. At the dawn of history, the western part of the state, was in the possession of the wandering Osages, while the eastern portion was inhabited by the Arkansas tribe, divided into branches, the Ozarks and the Quapaws or Cappas, Lieut. J. B. Wilkinson was first to descend the Arkansas river in 1806. He said at that time, there was not one that could produce greater abundance of game. The mountains of the north and west are unsurpassed for fruit and small grain. During the year of 1917 the record shows that four million dollars was spent in the maintenance and construction of the roads. I find the Negro of the Arkansas State as a whole, a very progressive people. Nearly everyone is engaged in some kind of industry. The corn, wheat and cotton crops are fine which means a prosperous year. AT LITTLE ROCK AT LITTLE ROCK I met a class of people who were all business. This business quality was a striking feature to me. I found nearly everyone doing something. I visited the Moslae Temple, which is owned and operated by the Moslaacs, an organization of the race. This building is located on West 9th street, covering a space of about half a block. In this building is a large drug store operated by Dr. Foster; the Moslae Guide Publishing Co., D W Wells, manager; a cleaning and pressing shop; several offices of the leading physicians and lawyers of Little Rock. Among these were Attorney Robt. J. Hooker, one of the world's brilliant young men. I also visited the office of Mr. Husch, the national secretary. He furnishes employment for fifteen young women, all of whom are expert typewriter operators. Our people need more business houses like that of the Moslae Temple. I attended the District Convention of the American Woodmen which was held at Little Rock, July 1, 2 and 3. The meetings were the best ever witnessed. The Arkansas Baptist college, corner 16th and high streets was used for the place of meeting. There was never a more intelligent gathering than that of the American Woodmen. The many delegates from the four states—Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas will never forget the local Camp of Little Rock for such a royal entertainment. Guest of President Booker, Arkansas Baptist College. While in the city we stopped at the beautiful home of Dr. Jos A Booker, president of the Baptist At Kansas college. This home is the pristine in all Southland. It is a large white store structure with some twelve or more rooms and located on the a large campus, just west of the main building. The Arkansas Baptist college I one of the best North institution in the South. It was organized by the colored Baptists of Arkansas at their State Convention at Hot Springs, Ark. Aug. 14, 1854. The first session was held at Mount Baptist church in the City of Littl Rock. Several sessions were held in THE MISSING MAN E. E. MOODY, Supervising Deputy of the American Woodmen, State of Oklahoma and Chairman of the District Convention Held In Little Rock, Arkansas, July 1 to 3. that and other local churches, but it has been many years since the school was obliged to use temporary quarters for its regular work. The primary aim of the Arkansas Baptist college was to aid the state in equipping teachers for the common schools of this and other states, and to give an improved ministry to the race, hence it was first known as the "Ministers Institute" carrying a normal and theological training for the two classes of registrants named above. But many improvements have been made on the working plans and courses of the institution within the past thirty-four years. It now has in addition to normal and theological courses, a well arranged college course, with a healthy underpinning of grammar and high school courses. The industrial and agricultural, including manual training, domestic science, home gardening, carpentry, music, military tactics, etc., have added much to the original and advanced courses, and given the institution a standing in the state on a parity with other Negro institutions in the South. The faculty of the Arkansas Baptist college is made up of graduates from various schools of the North and South, and of the graduates of the school. They are the men and women, with the necessary degree, proper training and correct spirit for the work laid out for the race and for the American student. President Joseph A. Booker is practically the builder of the school. He has been there for thirty-two years, has reared a family there; some of his children are giving him efficient service, as well as his wife who was schooled with him years ago, in Roger Williams University, Nashville, Teen. Dr. Booker stands at the head in his profession among the Negro or the white race. Dr. Booker with his faithful and energetic wife has toiled in this great educational field until today we now can behold the beauty of these magnificent buildings, and can look upon them as a pinnacle. The school owns eighteen city lots, whereon the school buildings are erected. It also owns a hundred-acre farm from which the school draws much of its agricultural supplies, and on which much of the practical agriculture is taught. The most important building on the city campus is the administration building the upper stories of which are occupied by the girls; the boys dormitory; the President's home, commonly called, "Alumni Cottage," because it was erected by the alumni association of the institution. The enrollment of the school last session ran beyond the five hundredth mark. There were fifty-one graduates from various departments, besides thirty-three grammar students who received certificates of promotion to the academic or high school department. The next session will open September 25th and close May 21st, 1919. This institution is constantly receiving students from the different states throughout the United States Happenings Around Little Rock. Perhaps one of the most attractive events witnessed in Little Rock in years, was an affair staged by the citizens for the twenty-eight officers stationed at Camp Pike, on the evening of July 2d. It was a reception to enable the officers to meet some of Price $1.50 Per Year Little Rock's most hospitable people. Long before the "new dial" struck the hour for midnight (and a little while afterwards too.) The Rose City Orchestra played the enchanting glides, the soothing waltzes and the military and patriotic numbers that made everyone move with such grace, that for a few minutes, only the beautiful auditorium of the Mosaic Temple, the lovely "Brown roses," their attractive gowns, and the fact, that Little Rock had with it some of the most representative officers in the country were on the minds of the many people who came to enjoy themselves. The officers present were from Camp Sherman, Meade, Funston, Dodge and Upton. They are here for the purpose of training officers in the central training camp, wherein students are found from different points throughout America. They left at an "early hour" saying that they were really glad that Uncle Sam had seen fit to send them to a hospitable place. Just before leaving, Lieut. Ferguson, of Nashville, Introduced Lieut. R. Jones, of Cincinnati, Ohio, who expressed gratitude to the people for such a delightful entertainment. Army Officers Entertain. On the Fourth of July in order that the officers of the colored training camp at Camp Pike might show some of the Little Rock young ladies how well they were pleased with the place, they gave a big dinner and invited them over. We could not begin to tell all that was served. Mrs. Parker, wife of Lleut, Parker, now serving the colors in France with the field artillery, acted as chaperone. Among some of the ladies were Misses Currie I. Booker, Edrolina Branch, Maude Cullens, Marguerite Moore. They were too filled with appreciation to the young Lieutenants for words, but promised to see to their enjoying all of the social facilities that Little Rock is noted for while here. --- On the afternoon of Monday, July 8th a group of ladies met and organized a Red Cross chapter, with Mrs. Mary Davis, president; Mrs. Pankey, secretary. Mrs. J. A. Booker and Mrs. Flourney have charge of units. The following ladies in Mrs. Booker's unit: Mrs. J. M. Cox, Mrs. Ashford, Mrs. E. W. Edwards, Mrs. Shepperson, Mrs. F. Nelson, Mrs. Corrigan, Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Henson. Hot Springs. Here I felt perfectly at home for I was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. church is the largest in the state Jos. T. Hill, formerly of Topeka. The Hills are held in the highest esteem in Hot Springs by the people of both races and Dr. Hill is recognised as a power. He is pastor of the largest Baptist church in the state, but like he did in Topeka he preaches to the people of Hot springs, all denominations and creeds flock to his church. Time and space forbid my giving any details about Hot Springs, but in the next issue I will write extensively of my stay in this city.

Kimball, veteran of the Civil War, that he is a Republican candidate for register of deeds. He stated to a reporter for this paper that he not only served through four years of war to help free the colored race, where he participated in many battles and was twice severely wounded but for four years following the war he was on duty in the South to protect the colored people, where his life was many times in jeopardy. Capt. Kimball also says that no colored man ever went back on a Union soldier and that they are not going to do it now, that the colored people are a grateful people and one might as well attempt to "dam up the waters of the Nile with bulrushes as to attempt to turn them from those who proved their friendship in a time of need.

Wolff Packing company have returned to work after being out several days at a loss of several thousand dollars to themselves for being out of employment and also their good standing with the company The Chas. Wolff Packing company is a corporation that has been a great asset and help to Topeka, business and laboring men especially. Many men have found employment with the Wolff Packing company and have been able to pay off the mortgages on their homes and live comfortably. This company not only pays the best wage, but their employees can secure their meat and hard almost at cost which means a big saving to them. This corporation wants to do the fair thing but with an investment of millions of dollars, they have to secure reasonable returns in order to pay taxes and at the same time give the stockholders a few pennies in dividends. It seems that so many laboring men do not have the interest of the corporation for which they work, at heart. It is their duty to work in peace and harmony and to the advantage of the company that all may go well.

If the Republican voters of Kansas want to pay the highest respect and compliment to a man who is doing much to drive the kaiser and his fortune from the soil of France and make the world a safe place in which life, they can do so by voting for Adjt. General Chas. S. Huffman for lieutenant governor. Gen. Huffman has made many young men and their parents happy by his work in the war service for he always exercises good judgment and stands by the law and the constitution. He has explained the meaning of the call to young men who would otherwise have been slackers, but following his advice they have gone on to the cantonments and made good soldiers. General Huffman's value to Kansas cannot be measured by money but by the high esteem and respect of the people and by voting for him at the primary election in August. By such action they will prove their loyalty to him and the Government. He is a soldier, statesman and gentleman and if elected lieutenant governor the citizens of Kansas will have nothing to regret. He served as state senator from Cherokee county and has been the instigation of passing some good, wholesome laws for the upbuilding of the people of this great empire. He is a great friend of the colored people and solicits their support. CAPPER MEETINGS.
