WILL ENTERTAIN FOR BOYS OF 805-606 At a citizens' mass meeting called by Rev. S. E. J. Watson on Tuesday evening at the City Auditorium; plans were made to entertain the returned members of the 805th, 806th Pioneer Infantry and the 92d Division in this city on July 24th. A committee on arrangements consisting of some fifty or more members was appointed to take up the plans and carry them to completion. This committee headed by Attorney Ellisha Scott, is composed of all the pastors, lawyers, doctors, principals of schools, women's clubs and church and lodge auxiliaries. Added to this are the following persons: Hon. John M. Wright, U. A. Graham, J. H. B. Taylor, Ira Smith, Geo. Charles, B. F. Payno, Hon. H. I. Monroe, Chas. C. Lyle, F. M. Stone street, Taylor Reed, Prof. Geo. R. Bridgeforth, Geo. W. Hamilton, S. H. Torhett, John Barker. Hon. Clyde Reed, secretary to the governor was present and read the telegraphic communications between the governor's office and the war department relative to the boys stopping over in the city en route to Camp Funston. He brought out the fact that every effort possible was made to stop the train in this city. Mr. Baer, chairman of the military committee assured the body that the Chamber of Commerce would be glad to cooperate in entertaining the boys and that they held a sufficient number of Shawnee county medals to be awarded to all returned soldiers and when the ceremony is arranged for will turn them over for awarding. Following is the resolutions passed by the body assembled: by the body assembled. Whereas, We have noticed with interest thru the daily newspapers, that the Chamber of Commerce of this city, has asked an investigation into the matter of the officer in command of the 805th and 806th Pioneer regiments, refusing to allow the bows of our race to stop long enough to be served, a thing that has not been denied any troop train that has previously passed thru this city, and in mass meeting assembled, we denounce as unpatriotic and a desire to be unfair on the part of this officer, and we further request the war department that if there is any way on earth to bring this officer to account for his act of perfidy, that it will be done without measure. We commend and are duly thankful and appreciative of the help given us by many of the white friends and organizations. We further petition the war department to take immediate action into the matter, and urge that charges be filed as soon as possible against said officer. Whereas, No signal honors have been shown to the returning soldiers of Topeka and Shawnee county by the City of Topeka; and, Whereas, The true spirit of Topeka was not allowed to be shown in the recent effort to entertain the 80th and 80th when they passed through. Resolved, That it is the sentiment and wish of the colored citizens that have been duly called and are here assembled, that a committee, sufficiently large, be appointed to wait upon the major and other authorities, and ask that a half holiday will be given in which to show signal honors to these men; Resolved, Further, That we ask for Thursday, July 24, 1919, as the day on which to show these honors, and that if this date is found impracticable, the committee will arrange for the nearest date thereafter, excluding Saturdays and Mondays; and, be it further Resolved That if no holiday is given that the above date shall be our day, and that the committee above mentioned shall work out the details of the program at its earliest convenience The Home Circle (By Miss P Lincoln Fields, Durlington, Kansas) To protect new table oil cloth take cereal boxes, cut at the side and spread out flat on the table. The dish pan and other utensils placed on the oil will not injure it. If you are economizing by using fats from drippings, bacon, chicken, etc. keep it in a new tin, rather than earthen ware. This is a quick and easily prepared dessert for a warm day and unexpected company. Place a layer of sliced oranges and banana on the bottom of a pretty glass dish; cover with powdered sugar and then a layer of shredded cocoanut, repeat until dish is full. To make delicious sandwiches of corned beef; Cook the corned beef well, chop fine, season with salt, pepper and mustard, mix with a little melted butter, spread on slices of brown bread. Serve with cold slaw. Kitchen, pantry and other shelves that require frequent cleaning are best covered with white oil cloth, rather than paper. When the shelf requires cleaning, move the articles to one side, wipe off move back and clean the other side. While loose and roomy dresses are more comfortable for these hot days, it is no reason such dresses should not be made neat. Sheer material of lawn, organdre, or daltry, light figured or white makes nice afternoon loose dresses or aprobs for home wear. Cold Slaw: Chop the cabbage fine after washing and looking over the head carefully. Put into a fancy glass or china bowl. Make a dressing of one-half cup cream, one teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice, salt and pepper, stir quickly together and pour over the slaw mixing it well. Serve cold. Cookies make a nice lunch, sometimes the home-made article is more to be desired than store cookies, the following is a good recipe. Two cups molasses (sorghum or substitute sorghum) one cup sugar, one soane cup water, one generous cup of fat, lard, butter, or compound, two level teaspoons soda, dissolved in the water, the water should be warm, ginger, cloves and nutmeg to suit, flour to roll. Roll and bake in quick oven. Blackberry Cobbler: Fill a shallow pudding dish with blackberries, add one-half cup sugar, sprinkle with a little flour a few bits of butter. Cover with a thick crust of biscuit dough made very soft. Bake, serve crust down with cream. Don't forget the slogan, "Save the Seventh Baby." Make an especial effort to keep your baby in health and also comfort. Hot days are trying for babies, keep them clean, dressed cool and comfortable; see that they are well fed and have proper rest and are not fretted. If the baby is in deficite health, consult your family physician in regards to the feed and its care. Creamed Cabbage: Chop cabbage fine, cook until tender, put to boll in hot water. Drain off the water, season with a bit of butter and salt, add half a cup of cream, boll up and serve. A Thought for the Week. Plant a pleasant thought each day, keep it weeded and well cultivated. FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. The Story of Jack Part IV. It's just fine to be a dog on the farm. They had an old cat on the farm named Tabby, she was an oil blue cat, quite a favorite with the family. I did delight to tease Tabby, she would get so mad at me. She would set up her wool and biggen her tail and look so mad and scratch at me. I would back and run away. Sometimes I would back way off, then run toward her as fast as I could to see if I could make her run up a tree. I had been told that cats could climb a tree. But she wouldn't; she would brace herself and when I got near enough the would strike at me with her sharp claws. I would jump back and lie down on the ground, roll over and kick. it was so very funny. Some times I would stretch out my front feet, lay my head down on both dear little feet and bark at her in the most tantalizing way, turning my head from side to side. She would look so cross at me, but would not move an inch; finally I would go away and leave her he so she could get glad. Yes she would get glad, anybody can get glad when they get mad. Try it yourself. The Mrs. would not let me stay in the house like the Mistress her Sid. I had to sleep in my same old box, near the farmhouse. Tabby slept with me. I liked to sleep with her she was nice and warm. I was good to her then. Sometimes I slept close to a stack, when I didn't want to sleep in the box, and sometimes I slept on the porch. Tabby was good to catch mice and sometimes she would catch a rat; but I could catch the most rats; so the folks liked us just about the same. I can catch mice, but I don't like to catch them very much, that's Tabby's business. A nice, fine dog like my self is too difficult to catch mice as a business. I just catch them when they get in my way. --- Can You Guess? What boy is always found in aa Automobile? (Answer) Tom. What boy lives in Alabama? (Answer) Al What boy lives in Delaware?

The many ceremonies that we enjoy today were unknown to those who lived prior to the eighteenth century. The first cast iron plow was first used in America in the year 1800. Electric lights came into general use in the year 1846. Furnaces for heating houses were first used in 1825. Reapers and mowers were unknown until in the year 1833. Steel pens, which all school children now use were invented in the year 1803, by Mr. Wise, of England. Today, the increase of knowledge and scientific inventions are everywhere to be seen. Wise men and women ever and always seeking a new and better way to do things. Everything we use from seaplanes to children's toys are being improved by these deep thinkers. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. JULY 11, 1919. A CREDIT TO KANSAS. Rev. Butler has builded Wisely and Well at All of Kansas as well as Wichita should feel proud of the great effort put forth by the Rev. S. B. Butler, pastor of Cavalry Baptist church and his members in completing their church at a cost of $45,000. This handsome structure is located on Sixth and Water streets. Last Sunday was the day set apart to hold the first service in the new edifice and to raise money to pay for pews and other incidentals. Rev. J. W. Dowren, Kansas City, Kansas, president of the Baptist State Convention, was insisted to preach the initial sermon. He preached both morning and evening and the effort was indeed able and highly instructive. Over three thousand people attended his three services. The entire church population of Wichita turned out as well as the pastors of all the churches, the result being the raising THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN REV. S. B. BUTLER of $1750 with enough pledged to make it $2000. These members are loyal to their church and pastor, they are made of pure gold. When one looks back a few years ago when they built a church at a cost of something like twenty-five thousand dollars, which was condemned and torn down to give way to the present modern tabernacle, it will have to be admitted they have made commendable progress, and then too, they are only about eleven thousand dollars in debt. This church was established in 1873 with a membership of only seven and today finds six hundred on the roll. The afternoon of Sunday was most devoted to dedicating windows depicted by the Mission Circle, B Y P. and church choir. The interior is beautifully finished all modern while the auditorium has a seating capacity of a thousand. The basement the Sunday school room has a seating capacity of of five hundred while the lecture room sends over two hundred. It is also equipped with kitchen, dining room, reading room, ladies parlor, pastor's study, ladies' and gents' toilet, choir loft, seating twenty five, circular swing gallery—not a post anywhere, double stairway in front on each side. In fact every detail is right up to the minute. The exterior is built of dark hard brick finished upon ledge of polished stone with stately columns modeled after King Solomon's Temple. When the work is completed it will be one of the best looking sites in the West Bay Butler, the pastor is a young man born in Mississippi and finished in theology at Western Baptist College. Macon Mo fourteen years ago. He was called to this church nine years ago. A young man who can accepcish this much in such a short space in the Hall of Fame, Rev.

Columbia Mo., July 8.—WHOAES the Missouri Federation of Colored Women's clubs has assembled with an eye single for the advancement of the south of the state and realizing that Lincoln Institute under the supervision of Prof. Clement Richardson, has reached a very high state of efficiency, and believing that it will be detrimental to said institution to return Ben F. Allen to the presidency, for the reason that he permitted it to lose its presence as an educational institution and be classed as a third rate high school and further realizing that this is the only institution for higher education for the Negro youth of this state and with homes of seeing it placed upon such a high plane that it will not be necessary for the citizens and taxpayers to send their girls and boys out of the state to be educated believe in that we have at its head a highly cultured educated gentleman and one that is seeking to raise its standard and pull it out of the mire, to which it has descended, we therefore heartily endorse the progressive and intelligent administration of Prof Richardson and beseech your honorable board to continue the same.

Lannigan, Kansan, Replies to Southerner American E F., France, June 28, '19. To The Topeka Plaindealer, Topeka, Kansas: Kind sir: Once more I beg a space in your paper to submit the following letters to the public: Since the war is over and especially since we have been where we can buy papers and learn news of the outside world, it seems as though much attention is given to what I call "The After War Consideration," and most especially what is due the Negro. In the columns for letters of the A. E. F. in our Chicago Tribune (European Edition) sometime ago appeared a letter from a man named F. C. Dobbs, merely suggesting better school conditions in the South and since the appearance of his letter, there has been a great many letters of criticism sent in by our prejudiced white Southern comrade. One letter which has particularly attracted our attention is the one here enclosed written by Mr. Charles E. Holland, which appeared in our European Edition of the Chicago Tribune, June 20th. Though limited in words and space in our paper, we have sent our letters in response to Mr. Holland through the Tribune. CLYDE A. LANNAGAN. Sergeant Co I 803d Pioneer Inf. Mr Holland's Letter. To the Editor: In reply to Mr. Dobb on the subject of "Negro Education in the South," let me say that it is evident from Mr. Dobb's article that he has never lived in the South and consequently does not know of what he writes. As a native of the South, I realize the folly of Negro enfranchisement. Do you realize that the Negro population in the South is almost two to one. That being the case what would the results be at our elections? In the first place, they would have all the power in the South and could nominate one of their own race and elect him to office with overwhelming majority. Do you realize, that they have had colored policeman both in Jacksonville and Talihassee. Flat I do not object to the education of the Negro so long as they are taught in their own schools and not along with white children. They may suit the people in New York and Pennsylvania and Ohio but not in the South. The Negro has done his part over here. I will admit and he is alright so long as he is kept in his place and the people of the South with the overwhelming majority of colored vote against them know how to do it. American H.F. France, June 28, 1919. The Chicago Tribune, Paris, France. To the Editor: Referring to Mr. Holland's letter which appeared in your paper of June 20th subject, "Franchisement for Negro, Folly for the South." I beg some time American to explain the ideals of democracy. Mr. Holland says, while he is in favor of Negro education, yet he is opposed to it if the Negro to get his education along beside the whites. We do not contend for mixed schools. Mr. Holland but we do contend for schools equal to those of the whites. From an authentic source, I learn it is not in the majority of the Southern States that the Negro population exceeds that of the white. And also since the laws have been stricken from the different state constitutions that prohibited the Negro vote, the poor element has resorted to the short run to keep the Negro from the polls. So this is what you call keeping the Negro in his place. Any man is all right in his place and each state, city, or village has laws to punish men out of their places so why not use the law or have you laws in your country? Mr. Holland while you feel that his association with the Negro is derogators to your standing with the element you represent kindly remember it is equally as humiliating to us to associate with you. Was this great war for Peace and Democracy, or was it for a divided nation and upholding segregation at home? CLYDE A LANNAGAN. Sergeant Co I 803d Pioneer Inf. Serget Lannigan is a Kansan, having been reared in Salina and was trained for service with a bunch of Kansans at Western University. He is very able and can take care of all such Southerners as Holland who by his language belongs to the "cracker" element of that section. YOU SHOULD HELP.

A Most Wonderful Formula Secured from a Soldier—Makes the Hair Soft and Straight—Prevents It from Turning Gray. During the recent war which involved a dozen or more civilized countries of both continents together with millions of fighting men, all the resources of modern science were brought into play in the execution of this war. Numerous discoveries in the medical profession brought to light what had heretofore been called the impossible. The world's greatest physicians have given to civilization facts which were unheard of. In the process of this great awakening a noted European physician prepared a purely vegetable compound for the treatment of scalp diseases in the allied armies which were found prevalent among the men on the firing lines. While at the front, an American soldier fighting with the French army was given this formula for the treatment of this seemingly unconquerable disease the of the scalp. On seeking relief he brought this formula into use, which not only relieved but cured the disease and left the hair soft, straight and glossy and in a healthy condition, which so improved his appearance that he sought to aid others by placing it on the market when he returned to America, but finding the ingredients so costly, and hard to obtain, he was unable to promote its manufacture and sale. In view of this the formula was secured by the Wilson Chemical Co., and is now being manufactured on a large scale. It is the only harmless and safe preparation of its kind on the market, for the treatment of short, coarse, kinky hair as well as the prevention of hair turning gray and a cure for any and all diseases of the scalp. The preparation was also named at the battle front. After the soldier had used the formula, his hair became straight, soft and glossy, and from that time on his comrades began calling him "SATINTOP." THE LADY OF THE WEST in 3 months will make the hair long, soft, and glossy. A trial will prove it. When in Kansas City call on the m manufacturer.
