We approached a police-officer and made enquiries relative to the International Street Railway car. He gave us the desired information. In a few moments we were on our way to Mexico. We reached the International Bridge and the car stopped. A short, elderly official clad in blue Mexican uniform passed through the street car examining closely every package or bundle carried by a passenger. A white man had a parcel about 18 inches long. The Mexican official made some inquiries, opened one end of the parcel and then directed the owner to get off the car and go to the Customs Office on the side of the Bridge. THAT INTERNATIONAL BRIDGE Persons with souvenirs or cheap trinkets are not disturbed, but others must pay the custom duties on their purchases in either country. We had heard much talk about the International Bridge and we thought we would see a massive and expensive structure. On the other hand we saw a cheap structure, so cheap that it reminded us of the rickety Mayo's Bridge of Richmond, Virginia. The waters of the Rio Grande River were low and the scene was dismal and uninviting. ON MEXICAN SOIL: A few moments later we had been carried into Mexico by the electric overhead trolley line, Into the town of Ciudad Jaurez, where the civilization was as different from that of the city we had just left as that of the Chinese and the English. We alight ed on the main street of the town and wandered almessly about feeling the effect of the heat during midday of October 1st, 1910. We saw souvenir stores on every side. Pictures of President Taft of the United States and President Diaz of Mexico were everywhere in evidence. THE TAFT-DIAZ MEETING This was on account of their meeting at this point and in El Paso October 16th, 1909. We saw fruit venders on the streets and we now remembered that we had not gotten any Mexican money in exchange for American money. We asked the price of apples. WILL NEVER KNOW. The Mexican answered something What he said, we shall never know. We gave him five cents in American money. He gave us two pennies, Mexican and we went on our way eating the apple. We bought another apple from another Mexican and he gave us the same amount of change. They spoke no English and we spoke no Mexican. Here we were within a half mile of American soil and here we found another civilization and another tongue. BEGGARS IN THE STREETS We saw beggars in the street, emaciated women in a sitting or kneeling posture with the black shawl wrapped around the head, shoulders and arms and with the outstretched palm extended and the beggar spoke not a word. The streets are narrow, with the sidewalks of narrow construction and resembling the garden paths on a country road. The houses were nearly all of one story construction and few women were to be seen along the streets. MANY IDLE. Those we saw were neither bewitch ing nor inviting, while the men were mostly of the ordinary type. We had reached the court-house and a park with benches and a band stand were the features. Mexicans were lounging about in idleness. We were tired and we sat on one of the settees to observe the movements of the crowd. Truly, this mass of human- ity, sullen and yet good natured, seemed prepared to do anything and yet they were orderly. No loud or bolstered language was observable. THE BULL FIGHT A Mexican boy handed us a flaming handbill. It was in the Mexican language, but we could decipher enough to know that it told of a bull-fight and a famous Spanish Matador would be the presiding genius to kill the bull. It would take place on the next day (Sunday) and a rare treat was in store for those who cared to witness the performance. A HAPPY FAMILY. We saw a Mexican or Spanish woman, a wife and a mother, sitting with her husband who seemed to be an American. She was attractive and compared favorably with a Spanish beauty, whom we had seen on a street car. For half an hour we looked at the lounging multitude and then we arose and went wandering about the streets of this quaint city. PECULIAR HOUSES The houses are built of mud, baked mud and straw. They are all one story. All that is needed it seems is two door frames, two doors, a window frame and a window sash. The rest is easy. The renter, usually builds his own house upon leased ground. The mud bricks are about 12x18 inches and about 5 inches thick. The roof is of earth and sand. We saw one of the houses in course of construction. Two men and a boy were doing the job. A mud pit had been dug and the mud mixed like mortar. The boy did the carrying just like our hod carriers in Southern cities. THE MEXICAN BUILDERS We stood there and looked at them work, but not before we had given them the salute of recognition. If they could speak English they gave no indication of it, while we were equally silent in the Mexican language pro position. We saw the adobe, called "doble" houses. A small block is occupied. The houses front on the four streets, while in the centre of the block is a large yard or court, which the occupants of all the houses use. A hydrant in the centre of the open space furnishes water for all of the tenants. A STRANGE TRIO We could see into some of the houses. The walls were either white washed or papered and these dwellings are said to be cool in summer and warm in winter. But then they do not seem to have much winter in this sunny land. We saw three Mexicans as we wandered about. Their peculiar shaped hats with their snout like tops made them appear all the more peculiar. One of them seemed to be under the influence of liquor. We veered in another direction remembering the frenzied declaration of Mr. C. C. Shelton, "Hang him in El Paso? I have been living here for twenty odd years and I never knew them to hang a man in El Paso for murder. They'll hang a man for horse-stealing, but not for murder." ALONE IN A STRANGE CITY We were only across the river from El Paso. We were in Old Mexico and the words of the frenzied colored man rang in our ears as we looked at these Mexicans, who were only about a half a block away, with no one else in sight. What if they should assault us in our banker's costume for we had all of our money upon our person and only a pocket knife as a means of defense. We had left our automatic Cottol revolver in (Continued on Fifth Page.) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1910. NEGRO VOTE IN DOUBTFUL STATES BALANCE OF POWER BIE STICK TEDDY TAFT American Syndicate Co., St. Augustine, Fla. The balance of power held by the Negro in a few Northern States could mean the awakening of the Republican Party to the necessity of living up to its obligations to the black Republicans of the South, who to-day are shorn of power by various infringements upon the federal constitution under guise of State's Rights. That this balance of power could teach the nation a wholesome lesson and the redemption of the Negro, there is no doubt. What will the Negro do with his "BIG STICK?"—JOHN HENRY ADAMS. BUCK—STANTON.

Two Meetings.—Officials Speak Plainly.—Dr. Taylor's Position. There has been no change in the situation so far as it relates to the Order of True Reformers. The Receiver, Mr. William A. Moncure has a number of experts at work on the books of the Savings Bank, Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers and hopes to have his report ready as soon as possible. In the meantime there is a feeling among the depositors of the Bank that they will not get "a square deal," in that the Grand Fountain and its accredited representatives say absolutely nothing about assuming any of the obligations of the bank and seem disposed to treat this part of the Order as a separate corporation, and its accredited representatives, say absolutely separate corporation and to put in a claim against it for money due by it to the Order of True Reformers.

Many persons spoke and some harsh things were said concerning the past management. There were mournful times over the downfall of the Organization. Messrs. W. P. Burrell, R. T. Hill and Rev. William L. Taylor were called upon to state what sacrifice they would make to save the Order. Mr. Burrell said that he had talked the matter over with his wife and he was ready to yield up everything he possessed to help the Order in its present financial embarrassment. CASHIER HELL'S PROMISES Mr. R. T. Hill stated that he had made arrangements to yield up his property and Grand Master A. W. Holmes said that he would do the same thing. Mr. Hill was made the object of much ridicule. Rev. Taylor stated that while the Order had paid him nicely he had rendered ample service for all that he had received. He wouldn't tell a lie about it, he wouldn't agree to give up all he had and leave his wife and children penniless. He was willing to make a sacrifice to help save the Or- der, but he would not give up all of his hard earnings and it was useless for him to say he would do it. LAWYER CRUTCHFIELD'S MOTION. On motion of Lawyer Crutchfield, the members present agreed to stand by the Order. Last Tuesday night, a meeting was held in keeping with a call issued by Mr. James H. Sampson and Pharmacist James E. Jackson to consider the securing of counsel to protect the interests of the depositors of the Savings Bank, Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers. Speeches were made by the Chairman, Dr. William H. Hughes, Lawyer J. R. Pollard, Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham, Lawyer Giles B. Jackson, Lawyer Leroy S. Edmonds, Mr. Jacob F. Wright Dr. R. E. Jones, Mr. I. J. Miller and others. Mr. W. P. Burrell occupied a prominent seat in front, but did not speak. After much discussion, the body decided to wait until after the report of the Receiver, before employing counsel. LAWYERS EMPLOYED. It is a fact though that many of the depositors have already employed competent attorneys to defend their interests and the indications are that a swarm of lawyers will ultimately figure in the litigation, which must necessarily result unless some steps are taken to relieve the anxiety of some of the depositors who had their could mean the awakening of the black Republicans of the South, who constitution under guise of State's lesson and mean the redemption of TICK?"—JOHN HENRY ADAMS. all in this institution. No further information could be obtained as to the outlook for the depositors or for the Order. It is a fact that that inasmuch as the Order is not in the hands of a Receiver, the officers control the money that is now coming in from loyal members. Many long delayed death claims are being paid. REVOKES THE LICENSE The Commissioner of Insurance in Washington, D. C. has revoked the license of the Order to do business in the District of Columbia and all new work is "marking time," so to speak. It now has developed that the Grand Fountain actually owns in its own name only the True Reformer buildings at 604, 606 and 608 N. Second Street and the Reformer's Hotel on the corner of Sixth and Baker Streets. All of the rest of the property is owned by the Reformer Mercantile and Industrial Association. This is the organization which owned the chain of stores, which lost heavily in the business world. The value of this property is now being ascertained. Much of it is heavily (Continued On Fifth Page.) 5TH ST. BAPT. CHURCH Located at Cor, 5th and Jackson Sts, RICHMOND, VA. Weekly News Column. REV, W. F. GRAHAM, D. D., Pastor. Residence: 108 E.

Moore against the estate of the deceased, which estate is represented by Mr. Edward J. Cook. Action was brought for breach of promise and was heard in the Civil Justice Court, Judge William M. Turpin, presiding, Thursday November 3rd, the amount of damages being placed at ($395.00) three hundred and ninety-five dollars for money expended by her in purchasing her wedding trouseman. THE JUDGE HEARS EVIDENCE Judge Turpin after hearing the evidence and the argument took the matter under advisement, desiring to look up authorities before rendering his decision. It will be remembered that Miss Lillian L. Moore, a teacher in our public schools was engaged to marry Mr. Richmond P. Swann. The date was set and Livermerman A. D. Price had been engaged to furnish the carriages, and the minister selected to perform the ceremony. A few days before the wedding date, Swann disappeared. It was rumored that he had committed suicide. The rumor proved to be true for a few days thereafter, his body was found upon the beach at Buckroe Beach, Va., near Old Point. SUIT FOLLOWS FUNERAL His remains were interred here. He had purchased and furnished a house for his bride elect and she had purchased all of her wedding clothes and she had also resigned her position in the public schools of the city. She subsequently withdrew her resignation and was reinstated in the system. Friction has since arisen as to the disposition of the estate and her claims for a share of the same to the extent of her alleged expenditures were disallowed. As a result, through her Attorney's, Messrs. Christian, Gordon and Christian, she is endeavoring to secure the amount which she considers to be her just due. The indications are that the case will be appealed no matter how it is decided. The New American Minister Dr. William D. Crum, of Charleston S. C., who arrived at Monrovia a few weeks ago, has actively begun his duties as Minister Resident and Consult-General near this Government. Dr. Crum has been engaged in public life for a number of years and has been a prominent factor in his own State as well as in the National Conventions. He served as Collector of Customs of the Port of Charleston for several years, which position created more unpleasant notoriety than any appointment President Roosevelt made during his Administration. Notwithstanding the constant threats made against Dr. Crum, he held his post and performed the functions of his office faithfully and efficiently. He resigned only a few months ago before being appointed as Minister to Liberia. Dr. Crum is a practicing physician of standing reputation and had an enviable practice in his home city. We are glad to have Dr. and Mrs. Crum in our midst and we feel certain that he will bring his knowledge and experience gained from a long career to bear in half of this Republic.—Monrovia, Liberian Register. Still Hoping The placing of the True Reformers Bank of Richmond, Va. and the Fishermans Bank of Hampton, Va. in the hands of receivers is exceeding unfortunate and it is to be regretted. The reasons for the failures amount to very little as the effect will be serious without any regard to the reasons. The banks may be able to pay the depositors in full but the confidence which has been lost in the ability of members of the race to conduct banking business properly has been shaken and it will take a long time and considerable success along that line in the future to restore that confidence. It has been our fear for sometime that banks were multiplying faster than the commercial development of our people demanded, for these institutions cannot be run on sentiment. It not only requires integrity and capital to operate a bank but experience and a keen insight into the intricacies of business and finance. With these lacking there is danger and perhaps this may be responsible for these failures. It is to be hoped that the officers of these institutions may come out with clean hands and that the depositors may be paid dollar for dollar.—Louisville, Ky.

New York, African Society For Mutual Relief Elections New Officers. Perhaps the oldest organization for mutual unfit among our people in the United States, secret societies excepted, is the New York African Society. For Mutual Relief, with headquarters in New York city. The society was founded, and a charter issued to those forming the nucleus to the organization in 1897. During the anti-slavery agitation and through the civil war the society rendered valuable assistance to the operators of the underground railroad, and also during reconstruction days, when at times it was found to be quite unsafe for many of our people even in New York. Edward, V, C. Eato, who is one of the best known men in the north among members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and in Masonic circles, has been president of the society continuously for twenty-five years. At the recent annual election of officers Mr. Eato declined the use of his name. The newly elected officers of the society are: President, Charles H. Lansing; vice president, Henry Cunningham; secretary, S. Williams; board of directors, William Russell Johnson; chairman, William G. Green, Charles T. Smith, James Cohick and Vernon C. Murray. Brooklyn's Friendly Society Seeks Good of All the People. The Halloween social given by the Young People's Friendly society of Brooklyn was one of the most enjoyable events of the Halloween season. Jerome A. Loving presided over the literary program. Among those who took part were Miss Lulu Brown, Miss U. Hall, Charles Hensen and James Brown. In keeping with the old Dutch custom of celebrating Halloween the pleasure committee introduced a number of unique plays and games, which gave the members and invited guests a very clear idea of how the event is observed in Dutch society. The social was therefore instructive as well as pleasing. The Young People's Friendly society was organized a year ago by Mrs. George Phillips, with whom the idea 1. CHARACTERIZATION originated. The primary object of the society is to cultivate friendly relations between the young people of the community, especially those belonging to the various churches. While the movement originated with Mrs. Phillips and other members of the Blooms Preynterian church, desorbational Houses are eliminated. The impoly social gatherings of the society are well attended, and it is building up friendly social union among the young people of the community, the manners neymon before undertaken by any unjust organization or yet by individuals. Mrs. Phillips deserves much credit for their unimaginable spirit, which she has infused into the organized and the many societies which she has personally made for success. Mr. Charles Henson is one of the organization's most helpful members. He is a search Baptist to religious faith, and an activist with the Friendship Society in a good imagination of the kind which would be necessary to be accomplished. The organization is by no means a religious organization. Story of the Achievements of a Self Made Man Who Believes in the Time Honored Principles of Honesty, Perseverance and Emloyency—Has High Commercial Rating. The successful career of G. W. Franklin, who is in many respects the most successful of our business men in Chattanooga, Tenn., should well serve as a distinct inspiration and encouragement to the thousands of young men and women of the race in entering upon their life's work. Mr. Franklin's career is in all essentials that, of the self made man. He has been in business for about twenty-six years, a feath of which have been spent in Chattanooga. In the whole state of Tennessee there is not a man who has a higher commercial rating 100 or who enjoys the confidence of the financial man and institutions of the community more than he. His immediate activities are centered in the large undertaking establishment which he conducts in Chattanooga. But besides this establishment he has large real estate interests, owning more than fifteen houses and lots and, having recently disposed of a lot in the heart of the city for $1,000. Hasides, this valuable reality in Chattanooga, Mr. Franklin owns two very profitable farms, one of which he conducts himself and the other being rented out to white tenants on a profitable basis. Mr. Franklin has a large force of employees, and his payroll foots up about $300 per month, besides other expenses which in the aggregate make a total of about $1,000 monthly. During Dr. Booker T. Washington's trip through the state of Tennessee in 1009 the inspection of Mr. Franklin's establishment and the comment upon the remarkable ingenuity displayed by him in the manufacture and design of funeral cars of every description will perhaps be remembered by the individual members of that party as one of the most notable features connected with the whole trip. His worth as a business man has endeared him to the people of the community. He has been called to places of honor and trust time and again. That "worth is the measure of worth" is one of the pet theories in his business and household. "Everybody works—and father." is his facetious paraphrase of the latter day slang, and his, establishment and household this title mying is carried out. Mrs. Franklin is a valuable assistant to him in all, his interests, and his son, Benjamin H. Franklin, is also a licensed emulator, rendering efficient service. It is well to call attention to the fact that Mr. Franklin's unparalleled success is the result of close application to business and of hard work and that other individuals can succeed by the same methods. He has not allowed his success to turn him away from a proper consideration of the value of conscientious effort in church and educational activities, as is often the case with some successful men. He is one of the most influential men in the Wiley Avenue Methodist Episcopal church, of which the Rev. J. W. Tate was the recent pastor. His counsel is sought and respected in everything that pertains to Nero life in the community. For usefulness to his people in a substantial way and for a concrete example, of the efficiency of the time honored principles of honesty, perseverance and efficiency, Mr. Franklin has but few equals in our social life. Educational interest in Illinois. The Illinois section of the national educational congress in Springfield has elected the following state officers for one year: President, Dr. J. H. Miles of Springfield; vice president, Dr. B. T. Cottoman of Springfield; corresponding secretary, Dr. Bryan E. A. Hamilton of Springfield; recording secretary, R. J. Williams of Measouth treasurer, Hurus Nelson of Chester. Coving event for Virginia Teachers. The principal topic in educational teachers' training in South Bake, Va. is the provision of school teachers in South Bake. School teachers are trained in the subject of school teaching. Mashville Pastor Donated Church and Serves Without Salary. The Rev. Preston Taylor, Founder of Greenwood Park and Leader in Many Good Movements For Racial Advancement, Has Done Much Practical Work in a Quiet Way. The Rev. Preston Taylor of Nashville, Tenn., has perhaps contributed more to the welfare of our people in the community in which he lives than any other member of the race in Tennessee. That is saying a great deal of one man, for it will be remembered that in Nashville live a long list of our people who have national reputations. This is no disparagement of men like Dr. K. F. Boyd, Hon. J. C. Napier, Dr. R. H. Boyd and Benjamin J. Carr nor of any of those men who have labored for the welfare of their people and who are yet doing it. Rev. Mr. Taylor has not been in the limelight. He has worked steadily on until now he is one of the most prosperous Negroes in the south, being variously rated at from $75,000 to $100,000. He has been identified with every laudable enterprise begun in Nashville and stands in the remarkable attitude of being the pastor of a large church without accepting any salary. The church cliff in which the Lee Avenue Christian church worships is the gift of his pastor, Rev. Preston Taylor. He is the one Afro-American living who, having made a fortune out of his people, gives largely of that fortune for their own unlift. The story of the establishment of Greenwood park and Greenwood cemetery makes interesting reading. It was through many hardships and adversities that the colored people of Nashville have what is in every respect the finest and best appointed public ground in the south. There is no white cemetery in. Nashville that surpasses Greenwood for beauty. It is kept in shipshape order at an enormous expenditure. At Greenwood park our people have every facility for amusement and quietude that can be found in any other park is the city, and it was only by the expenditure of about $5,000 out of his own pocket the past summer, which was necessary to construct the roadway and purchase right of way, that the Rev. Mr. Taylor was able to get the street railway company to extend its lines to the park. As a consequence, the Tennessee state fair for the first time was placed on a paying basis, and now the colored people of the city flock to Greenwood park in the warm summer evenings. Rev. Mr. Taylor has performed a signal service to the colored people of Nashville in the maintenance of Greenwood park. There one finds the usual amusements to be found in other parks—a miniature zoo, the merry-go-round, skating rinks, shooting galleries and an auditorium, and grand stand. The colored state troops hold their annual encampment in Greenwood park. The state fair is also held there. Plans are now on foot to establish a national Chaufauntau for six weeks during the summer under the direction of Bishop Evanna Tryce. SAVANNAH·BAPTIST HIGH To Forest City and Adds New Department of Instruction.

The night school section will be charge of competent Instructors and students will receive, the same careful attention in this department as those attending the day classes. persons the better. It will be for the masses of people who need direction as well as instruction. The hope of any race, no matter what its environments may be, lies largely in the elevation of the masses along all lines of tighous endeavor. Wins $800 Built From a Daughter. Mrs. Johanna Husselmann has been awarded $9800 damages* from her daughter, the wife of Dr. Wilhelm Becker, in the circuit court in Milwaukee. Wis., in a $25,000 allotation of affections suit of mother against daughter. Mrs. Hussolmann and Dr. Becker wore married in Chicago on March 17, 1900. She was then forty-six years old. He was thirty-one. She had two daughter. One of them was Hattie Bott, aged twenty-six. Mrs. Bott was then living in St. Paul. Her husband was Dr. Henry C. Bott. Shortly after the marriage Mrs. Bott came to Milwaukee to visit, at the home of her mother and her new stepfather. The result was that on Sept. 29, 1905, Mrs. Becker and her husband separated. On Nov. 3, 1906, Mrs. Hussolmann got a divorce, resuming the name of Hussolmann. On Nov. 9, 1906, Mrs. Bott began suit for divorce from Dr. Bott. She got the divorce Nov. 24, 1907. Five days later, according to testimony, Mrs. Bott and her stepfather were married. The mother said among other things that her daughter "wilfully, maliciously and wickedly" gained the affections of Dr. Becker, and sought to entice him to desert his wife. Boy Shoots His Sister Miss Anna Banvard, aged twenty, and one of the best known markswomen in New Jersey, is lying in the hospital at Paterson, N.J., in a serious condition after having been accidentally shot by her sixteen-year-old brother Harold. The two engaged in target shooting with a 22-caliber pistol in the rear of their home. Miss Banvard had stepped towards the target, when her brother, believing the gun to be empty, playfully pointed it at her—and pulled the trigger. The girl fell unconscious. The bullet struck her in the side below the shoulder. Four Die in Burning Home. Four persons lost their lives in a fire of unknown origin which destroyed the combination stochrome and dwellings of T. M. Carpenter, at Pigah, near La Plata, Md. The victims were the daughter of Benjamin B. Compton, two children of Marcellus Bowle, and a negro servant girl. "Compton's sister had a narrow escape from death. When she awoke the blaze had gained so much headway that there was no chance for her to warn the others who were trapped by the flames. The Pisgah postoffice was in the burned building." Haltien Gunboat Sinks; 70 Lost. "The Haltien gunboat Liberate has been lost at sea off: Port De Paix, Halti, following an explosion on board. It is estimated that seventy persons were either killed or drowned. Twenty others were rescued. The Liberte sailed from Fort au Prince on Monday last, having on board ninety persons. So far as known only twenty of these escaped. Among the seventy who were lost were ten Haitian generals who were on their way to take command of the several divisions of troops in the department of the north. Basa Husband Slav. With his wife and baby standing by his side, Frank Bell shot and killed Harvey Duncan and Charles Duncan in the railway station at McCarry, Miss. After having shot the two men Ball boarded an outbound train and came to Columbus, where he gave himself up. He refused to talk. Bit on Cartridge: Dead. Joseph Deponti, the five-year-old son of Frank Deponti, of Haverstraw, N. K., while getting ready for school, picked up a pistol cartridge and put it into his mouth and bit on it. The cartridge exploded and the bullet went upward through the boy's brain, killing him instantly. Just as Easy.

If a diamond is worth polishing at great trouble and cost, much more is the mind of a boy or young man worth all the polishing that the schools can give it. The best education is not too good for a promising youth. Who would choose a poor objection to save a law case when health is in danger? And who would choose an inferior school to save a few dollars when a better school will increase the strength of character and of mind for life and prepare one for a larger usefulness? THE COLLEGE COURSE is broad and complete. Its requirements and standing are as high as any college for white youth in the State, according to the rating of the State Board. * ITB THEOLOGICAL COURSE has for many years been the standard course for colored Baptist Schools. Hebrew, Greek and all the regular subjects given in Northern Seminaries are given here. One hundred students for the ministry are enrolled in different departments of the school. IT'S NINE GRANITE BUILDINGS, its finally equipped science laboratories, its library of 12,000 volumes, its abit faculty and its full courses of study enable Virginia Union University to offer colored young men an education equal to that enjoyed by the favored of other races.

NOVEMBER 12, 1910. We have received the souvenir program of the Western Negro Press Association, which meets at Muskogee, Oklahoma, Nov. 25-26. Mr. John L. Thompson of the Des Moines, Ia. Bystander is President. --- We have received a booklet, entitled, "Our Home Colony, a Treatise on the Past. Present and Future of the Negro Race in America," by Mr. M. F. Walker. The author has shown much ability in compiling the facts in this work and it will prove an interesting production as well as a useful reference to all who are interested in the success of the colored people in this country. We do not know anything about the motifs of the contoury between Hon. T. McCants Stewart and the Liberian government as is set forth in the Liberian Register of September 20, 1940, but we candidly admit that the editorial deliverance on that distinguished barrister is one of the abest that we have ever read in any journal in this country and marks the writer a scholar of exceptional merit and rare judgment. He is severe, while he is fair. He concedes to Mr. Stewart all that belongs to him and then "he rakes him fore and aft." Even then he shows a displeasure to make up with him if he will see the error of his way. There is one concession though that he makes that is greater than all else and that is that Mr. Stewart's erratic attitude is not on account of a disposition to sell out the people's interest in order to better his own financial condition. He seems to understand well that the mistakes alleged to have been made by this newly made citizen of Liberia is due more to temperament than anything else. Mr. Stewart has always been that way. He is not responsible for his condition. He evidently inherited his persuasion. He is to a greater, a man of almost superhuman abilities and with this goes usually traits and characteristics which make his possessor anything but companionable to other men, or woman at times. LAST TUESDAY, MARCH 11 Conservative citizens of color in this country will view with satisfaction the result of the elections held last Tuesday. They will construe it to mean the ultimate retirement of Hon. Theodore Roosevelt of New York and Hon. William Howard Taft of Ohio. To our mind, this will mean the return of the great Republican organization to its "first love," its recognition of those great principles, which brought it into existence and which made its past achievements possible. The retirement of Hen. William J. Bryan by the Democratic Party is now to be equalised by the elimination of President Taft and Col. Roosevelt in the Republican Party. This should result in the reestablishment of old party lines, and place the Republican organization in the most advantageous position in the coming contest. The election returns show that Massachusetts where William Monroe Trotter and his Guardian are located went Democratic, that Now York City with its army of Negro independents went the same way, that Indiana with its George L. Knox and his Freeman failed to keep time with Republican or alleged Republican music and that Ohio, where H. C. Smith and his Gaetzte have been belaboring the Republican managers for so many years has gone completely over to the Democratic hosts. It might be well to add that New Jersey, where Bishop Alexander Walters has labored and gave a tremendous majority for the anti-Republican forces. And yet with it all, we, who amitated with the Republican Party have no tears to shed or regrets to spend. The National Republican administration, following the precedent set by Mr. Roosevelt, highly announced that no colored men would be appointed to high offices in the Southland. This was a recognition of the color-line, the enunciation of a doctrine which was antagonistic to, and in violation of the Constitution of the United States, which every federal officer is sworn to support. President Taft followed this up by operely appointing Democrats to federal offices. Colored men and white men could see no difference in voting to do what a Republican President was doing: that is, vote to put Democrats in office in their respective localities. Certainly the statesman who set the precedent cannot complain. He "voted" for Democratic Commissioners of Revenue. Collectors of Customs, Postmasters, because he was the only one to vote. When he named them they were at once "selected" to office for he was the appointing power. Now, white and colored voters throughout the country have done the same thing and he should not complain. He said that he did it with the idea of breaking the "solid south," of causing Southern States to wheel in line for the Republican ticket. Vain hope! As a matter of fact he has lost West Virginia and broken the solid North, causing even "rockrubbed" Republican Massachusetts to become so disgusted that it went against Mr Taft's party by a vote which indicates a tidal wave. A report emphasizes the situation in the following language: "No inroads upon Democratic control of the 'Solid South' were made by the Republicans. The appeals of both President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt in this respect were in vain the returns show losses to Republican leaders limited number which that party has in the membership of the House from the Southern States. There is little doubt that most of the Insurgent Republicans from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas have been returned." This is enough. Col. Roosevelt is said to have shut himself up at his home at Oyster Bay and President Taft has "hied" himself to Panama; it is unfortunate that both cannot drop themselves out of the political light-lime forever. --- THE VOTE IN VIRGINIA. The Democrats of Virginia made no inroads upon their political antagonists last Tuesday. The result is not only disconcerting, but discouraging. Hon. Henry C. Stuart was successfully eliminated both as a candidate for Governor or for the United States Senatorship, if the returns mean anything. A great deal of "boosting" was done in the Richmond newspapers, which are not even read in the North District as a rule and the effect of their argument was upon the people of other localities who had no votes in the district most affected. but not see any reason for the desire to deny to the Republican contigent of the State one lone representative in the congressional delegation and other persons could not see it. There has been much talk about the elimination of the Negroes as a voting force and the recognition of the "black-white." We have scanned the election returns and it was seen that this white Republican votes more than not to have materialized anywhere except in the Fifth and the Ninth Congressional Districts where colors of Republicans were recognized as much so as white Republicans. In Richmond, the Republican can candidate polled only 252 votes, which vote could have been secured upon the basis of the colored population alone. The result has its lesions. We hope the party leaders may profit thereby. A good, warm, stylish Berry Beacon or O'coon at $5.00. Light or weight at $2.50.

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATIC Sole Republican Congressman Ousted by the Democrat. Richmond, Va., Nov. 9. — For the first time in years Virginia will be represented in the next congress by a solid Democratic delegation, Stuart, the Democratic nominee in the Ninth district, having won out over Slemp, the Republican incumbent, who was seeking re-election. All the other Democratic candidates were elected, including Holland, in the Second district, and Saunders, the present incumbent, in the Fifth. A Democratic legislature also was elected to choose a successor to former Governor Claudie A. Swanson, who was appointed to the United States senate to dull the unexpired term of the late Senator Daniel. The state also voted on proposed constitutional amendments to make the session of the general assembly 90 days long instead of 60 days, to allow county and city treasurers to succeed themselves in office immediately, to propley that commissioners of the revenue be elected by the people and may hold office indefinitely, and to provide that a bill may be read only once at length in each house of the general assembly, instead of three times, as at present. Republicans Live in Illinois Chicago, Nov. 9-10. The Republicans state committee obtained the special election of only six out of the twenty-five congressmen from Illinois. It was pooled that state were still in doubt with the probability that most of the Republicans would be defeated, and the other eleven districts were conceded to the Democrats. The Democratic news, but all members in the present legislature delegation. ```markdown ``` INDIANA IN DOUBT Vote is Very Close. With Democrats in the Lead. Indianapolis, ind., Nov. 8—Reports from about one-third of the state outside of Marion, county show that the vote is very close on the state ticket, but that the Democrats are loading by a slight majority. In order to overcome the vote of 1906, with which comparisons are being made, they must gain fine votes to the precinct. The returns show that the average gain is about seven to the precinct, with only a small percentage of the country precincts reported. While the Republican legislative ticket, consulating of eight candidates for representative and one candidate for senator, is making a better showing in the ticket, there is no possibility of being elected. This counts also against Senator Beveridge, and his managers are greatly discouraged over the vote in this county. They admit that the outlook is bad, but they don't concede that the legislature will be Democratic, though the indications are now that it will be. HARMON CARRIES OHIO Democratic Governor Re-elected by 50,000 Purlity. Cleveland, O. Nov. 9.—Oklahoma joined in the Democratic landslide by reelecting Governor Judson Harmon by a plurality which the Democratic state headquarters estimates at better than 50,000. The state budget under the governorship is in doubt. The legislature also is in doubt, though Democratic victories in Lucas, Hamilton, Cuyahoga and other big counties indicates a possible Democratic majority on joint ballot. The election of only a new congressman is assured, those certainly elected being: J. H. Geeke, Dem, Fourth district; W. A. Ashbrook, Dem, Seventeenth; James M. Cox, Dem, Third; Nicholas Longworth, Rep, First, Jas, Cassley, Twenty-first, and Paul Hawken, Twentieth, both Republicans, are probably defeated by R. H. Bulkley and William Gordon, Democrats. FOSS ELEUTED GOVERNOR Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Wa by 24.00% Plurality. Boston, Nov. 9.—Congressman Eugene N. Foss was elected governor of Massachusetts by a plurality of 24,000. The remainder of the Republican ticket went into office. The defeat of Governor Eben S. Draper, the Republican nominee, is due to the agitation over the increased cost of necessities and the outcry that the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill is one of the chief causes. The incoming legislature will show large Democratic gains, but there are still enough Republicans to insure the re-election of Senator Lodge, even should there be a fusion of Democrats and what few anti-Lodge Republicans who may have cried in. Rhode Island elects Republicans. Providence, R. I., Nov. 9.—The reelection of Republican congressman, Republican governor and state ticket and a Republican mayor of Providence is indicated. For governor, Lewis A. Waterman; the Democratic candidate, has reduced over 1000 Governor Pothier's figures of last year, when Pothier has a plurality of 12,800. In spite of this inward showing Republicans claim Pothier's reelection by at least 5000 plurality and the election of the rest of the state ticket is conceded. Naleigh, N. O., Nov. 9.—Bleadman, Don, for congress in the Fifth district, polled heavier majority than was anticipated, May reach $2000, defeating Blake. Rap, now now, held by Mooreshead, Rap, Cowles, Rap, in the Eighth, is re-elected, majority. It is impossible to tell at present whether Gunt, Rap, is selected in the Tenth. Majority will not be other than was, Winthorpe, Rap, polled a heavy vote in the Ninth, but Webb, Dew, is re-elected. The state went Democratic, by $20,000. Idaho district Republican, Boles, Idaho, Nov. — Returns indicate the election of the white Republican lead them by about $40,000, but by no more than $20,000. French, in Minnesota, became the sole candidate will be. Boles, now now, will be the sole candidate will be. Young Man, Have You a Trade? Good Barbers earn from $15 to $25 weekly.

Interests in the election in Florida centered in the state wide prohibition contest. A constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture and sale of all liquors in the state was voted upon. Both sides赢 victory and the official canvass will be required. The indications are, that the anti-prohibitionists have carried the election by about 2000 majority, but this is by no means certain. The Republicans had no ticker' in the field for congress or for state of force. The present congressional delegation, S. M. Parkman, from the First district; Frank Clark, from the Second, and, D. H. Mays, from the Third, and D. H. Mays, led by larger majorities than usual. Socialists in the First and Third and Socialist and Independent in the Second.

Representative Cornel Head, administration Republican, is re-elected in Wilmington the Republican elected three of the five leg. Military representation. A Republic made constitution is now elected. Almost all British colonies, including the Isle of Man, Northumberland, Manitoba, the Isle of Wight, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New Castle, county all of the country outside of Wimborne, the area defeated the dry land in a local polio election.

Send Name and Address To-day You Can Have It Free and Be Strong and Vigorous. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, falling memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in their midst, about any additional help or medicine, that every man who wishes to regain his many power and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. My prescription comes from a physician who made a special study of men and I am sure the surrest-acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. 215 Bowery. ned Seles ea = oy iy By oy si 2 ES “a a 7 SOSH ahaa aera nN oe et SARONDAN MO Onan 181010, SE ‘ eras ‘Editor...

PETER POSTELL'S · FORTUNE Brief Account of What Bome of Our Enterprising Citizens Are Doing in Flourishing Little Town in the Blue Grass State—Cordial Relations Between the People. Hopkinsville, Ky., one of the most enterprising little towns in the south, hosts of a large number of Afro-Americans who are in every way keeping pace with the progressive spirit of the times. There is a large number of men in the town whose names for a long period of years have been of worldwide fame. The influence of the Postell family has for years been of widespread significance. Although the founder of the family fortunes, Peter Postell, Sr. has been dead for twelve years, the fortune which he amassed is kept intact, and the family estate is easily one of the most productive in the community. Peter Postell, Jr., the well known business man of today, keeps alive the luster of the family name and has no equal for progressive ideas and enthusiastic conduct in business affairs of the community Nero Kirkpatrick, the brother of Peter Postell, Sr. is rich in his own name and, with the younger Postell, maintains a lucrative business in the Postell block. In recent years another and younger set of men has arisen, who have taken up the lead set by their seniors. One rejoices in the business establishment of E G Lamb, the Jeweler, in the business establishment of E Lewis, in the few years by D S Stewart, the rapid ease of a score of young men such as James M Moore, Robert Waters, R Philps, John Buckner, Henry Mogg Esq; Ned and John Brounghill Charlie Lynch, Merritweather, J T Whitney, William Knight and a host of others and cannot but applaud the remarkable spirit displayed by the Ne- WALTER ROBINSON, MSQ. gro citizens of Hopkinsville in the constant patronage they give to the business men of the race. In this connection it would be well to call attention to the success attained by T. Walter Robinson, a young and promising lawyer, who bills fair to stand in the place of pre-eminence. Born in the place of pre-eminence, Robert N. Larson. occupied by the minister. As fearless, brave and conscientious lawyer Mr. Robinson might be considered his proty. He succeeded his only proty. Mr. Landry good will, but was bequeathed his valuable library and enters the profession, as his one disciple. Mr. Robinson passed the Kentucky examination with credit and has already won one or two very important cases. The people of Christian county impose remarkable confidence in him. That he will eventually be a great success goes without saying. He has served successfully and satisfactorily as a teacher in the county for a number of years and has a wide acquaintance. He is straight politically and in every campaign is in demand as a speaker who can convince his hearers of the wisdom of the cause he advocates. More Negrons own property in Hopkinsonville than in any other town of its size in the country. Some of the individuals have large holdings, with rent rents that make a comfortable income. Among them are E. W. Glass, Rev. John Moore, the estate pastor, Peter Cottell, Jr., Luctan Dade, and Andrew McKinnon, the estate manager, John Kujtuit, Mrs. Carlie Bean, Rev. Edward Williams, Nero Kirkpatrick and George A. Leavell, while hundreds of individuals own comfortably and well appointed homes. As executive secretary to John B. Atkinson, the wealthy local operator and railroad magnate, Phil H. Brown, well known in major centres as a local health holdout of the most important positions in the state. He worked his way into Mr. Atkinson's empire by his appointment diplomatic to the Morning News on labor issues in the state and with appraisal of his property. Since one beyond a doubt of the purity of the community as far as the Negro citizens are concerned, who would, not only be struck with the progress displayed, but with the cordiality that exists between the races and with the strong force the Negro leaders have in county and city politics. ST. MONICA'S MISSION. Another Roman Catholic Church In the West For Afro-Americans. Within the past decade the Roman Catholic church in the United States has gained a large following among Afro-Americans. New impetus was given in this direction in the early spring of this year by Father John E. Burke, director general of the Catholic board for mission work among Afro-Americans throughout the country. It is Father Burke's aim to raise $100,000 annually until a sufficient number of suitable edifices shall have been erected for worship and for the maintenance of schools for the education of those who are to study for the priesthood and subsequently become leaders in the work among Afro-Americans. It has been a Roman Catholic church for our people in St Louis, Mo. for the past twenty-five years. Another was opened in a cottage in Kansas City, Mo. the latter part of October. It is stated that a new edifice will soon be created in its stead at a cost of $30,000. Miss Katherine Drexel of Philadelphia recently gave $8,000 toward the sum necessary for the erection of the new building. This enabled Father Burke and those associated with him to begin the work in Kansas City sooner than was expected. In speaking of the possibilities of the movement, Father Burke says the Negro needs the Catholic church and it is our duty to convert and educate him. The church in Kansas City will be known for the time being as St. Moni ca's mission THE NEED OF ORGANIZATION. Hon. George McAney Glive Reca Some Sound Advice Speaking at the National Negro Business league in New York last August, Borough President George McAney said, "For a long time past it has seemed to me that in addition to such beneficial organizations as this the colored people of the United States ought to have a strong national committee of their white friends could direct their energies and their friends' energies toward the preservation of their liberties and the righting of their wrongs, precisely as there have been steering committees for the Irish people and for the Poles of Prussia." BAR ASSOCIATION HONORS MEMORY OF EDWARD BROWN Richmond (Va.). Attorneys Show Respect for Law Library Assistant. By N. BARNETT DODSON The actions of the bar of Richmond, Ya. in calling a special meeting for the purpose of passing a set of resolutions in honor of Edward Brown, late junior and assistant in the state law library show the high esteem in which he was held. Mr Brown held the position for over forty years. During that time he proved himself to be a man of worth, honesty and intelligence. It is related of him that he could put his hand on any book in the library at once when called for by any one of the many persons who made use of the library. The white people of Richmond who knew him showed him the very high est respect, and no favor which Mr Brown would give to any of them would be withheld when asked for. When we consider that the bar association of Richmond is composed solely of white men it is easy to see the high honor conferred upon the deceased by southern white men of influence and high standing in the community. Mr. Brown was always courted, obligeing and respectful to those whom he served in the line of duty. He perhaps knew more public men of wealth and position than any other man of our race in the city of Richmond. Governors, educators, senators and representatives of the lower house were among his daily companions, as it were, while in the performance of their duty as state and city officials. In thus honoring him, the Richmond bar reformed his duty in life the lawyers of the Richmond bar reflect honor upon the community and at the same time prove themselves to be men of broad sympathies, possessing at the same time a high sense of duty and humanitarian virtues. True Reformers In Difficulty According to information received from Washington, Nov. 2, the insurance officials of the District of Columbia have suspended the license of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers, pending the restoration of its license by the state of Virginia. The association has been doing business in Washington for a number of years, including eight lodges in the District, with 1,918 members, and according to a statement filed with the Washington officials, owns properly valued at $80,000. The Rudition of Citixanship The Question of Citizenship. The question of citizenship in the United States, like the question of slavery was, must sodder of late before forced to a successful and final conclusion, says N. Burdett Doyle. The bulk of foreigners and their ability to become naturalized, hold offices and help to dictate, the policy of the government, are problems which the United States cannot ignore. In the United States, all citizens must have right and right to protection guaranteed in the constitution. Table Cultivity. The first table culture made in the United States was made in Granada Mass. in 1834. IMPORTANT PUBLICATION. Murray's Encyclopedia of the Race Reading Compilation. Murray's historical and biographical encyclopedia of the colored race throughout the world, upon which Daniel E. Murray, Constant Librarian of congress, has been working for the past fifteen years, is about ready to be published. It will tell of the progress and achievements of the race from the earliest times down to the present. It has over 20,000 biographical sketches of men and women of the race in every age of the world. There are also sketches of the authors of the 6,000 and more books and pamphlets written by members of the race which they have contributed to the literature of the world. Another feature of the encyclopedia is a synoptical account of all the works of fiction by Caucasian authors that deal with the race question. The work will be published by the World's Cyclopedia Publishing company in five volumes. It will be the most complete and comprehensive work brought out which deals with the history and progress of the race the world over. TRYING TO SAVE SINNERS. So Said Vice President Sherman to Dr. Booker T. Washington, "I, too, am down here' converting sinners," was the greeting of Vice President Sherman to Booker T. Washington when the two met in Salbury, N. C., while Mr. Washington was on his tour of the state which ended on Thursday, Nov. 3. The vice president in his campaign tour of the state reached Salbury in October, where he met another special bearing the educator arrived. Dr. Washington, at Mr. Sherman's invitation, visited the vice president in his private car, and later both were driven in an automobile to Livingstone college, where they made short talks to the student body. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS HEAR ANNIVERSARY SERMON. Ben-Hur Lodge Encouraged by: Rev. Dr. Moss' Schoolly Discourses. By N. BARNETT DODSON. One of the most progressive of the younger lodges of Knights of Pythias of the Eastern and Western Hemisphere in Greater New York is Ben-Hur lodge, No. 10. It was organized in October, 1908, and has steadily grown in usefulness to its members and into the good graces of the public. The second anniversary sermon to the lodge was recently preached by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss at the Concord Baptist Church of Christ in Brooklyn. Dr. Moss, who was recently installed pastor of Concord, bade the militias of the church to welcome the members of the church and ordered the members that it was a pleasure for him to serve the order in the north as he had done in the south. Dr Moss gave a vivid account of the story of Damon and Pythias of old, their friendship and loyalty to each other and of their final ending. He then delved into ancient history and into geology, from which he showed the harmony and cooperation of substances. His astronomical illustrations were lofty, and the truth of his logic was convincing. At the conclusion of the sermon E. Burton (Ceruit, chancellor in command, expressed the thanks of the lodge to Pastor Moss for his scholarly sermon, which, he said, was highly satisfactory to the members and was also encouraging and full of hope. Choristor P. Albert Myss of the choir of the church, prepared and reordered a special musical program in honor of the occasion. Among the special numbers rendered were "Father in Heaven Above" (Gray), by Mrs. Laura Bowie, soprano solopr, soprano solo and chorus, Mrs. Harriet L. Brown; choir selection and professional, "Culus Anium." The officers of Ben-Hur lodge, No. 10. are E. Burton Cerdall, chancellor commander; vice chancellor, J H Williams; prelate, John Curtis; master of work, H B. Baynard, keeper of records and scale, Thomas E. Scott; master of finance, William H. McFarland, master of exchequer, Charles C. Porter; master at arms, Charles McKeever; outer guard, George D. Moss, and idler guard, Chadon Smith. The Dear of Opportunity Still Opens. Colored men, do not imagine that the door of opportunity, or the window of hope is closed to you. Remember the latchings of the door of opportunity and the window of hope are not held in the hands of men. God keeps these in his hands, says the Dallas (Tex.) Express. Whatever your condition, unless it is lasiness, God can help you. Even if you are a fool it makes no difference, for the good book says, "If any man lacketh wisdom - let him ask of God, who growth liberally and upbraideth not." Improvements at Sharon Hill, Pa. The development of South Sharon Hill, Pa., into a promising little town suitable for residence and the owning of homes by out people has been accomplished.

Address all communications to 311 North ROAD AND FARM IMPROVEMENT ROAD DRAINAGE. The Moat Important Factor For Maintenance of Good Highways is to Provide Outlets For Water. To undertake to locate, drain and construct a railroad or a building without plans would be disastrous, financially and otherwise, which applies with equal emphasis to road location, drainage and construction. Skilled location of a road accurately determines route, drainage and grades, and skilled supervision and construction intelligently and economically executes the plans of the engineer and conserves the monies, resulting in enduring, permanent work at minimum cost. Education is the one great factor that makes the engineer a necessity in road location and construction. His training for the purpose qualifies him to Effects of Improper Drainage obtain results, whereas one uneducated and untrained usually leaves us "in the mud." A mixture of soil or dirt and water produces mud, the depth of consistency being determined by the quantity of water present. This simply a question of cause and effect; remove and prevent the water from obtaining access to the soils and subsequent evaporation and absorption will leave only dry soils or dirt remaining after a mudhole is drained. Such a simple remedy for the treatment of a mudhole surely can be applied by any ordinary mortal, though he be not educated or skilled in the work. In the location of a road or highway a survey of the route will locate the road, so as to obtain the shortest distance between the two points to be connected. The loss mileage there is to maintain the loss the cost of maintenance. The shorter the distance the less time it requires to cover the road between the two points. A road should be located as direct as is practical and possible. To reach points off and away from the direct line or route, branch roads should be made. Under no circumstances, when easy grades exist, should the highway or thoroughfare depart from a direct course from the point of departure and the objective point. The old adages "Time is money" apply when a circumscious, unstructured, easily road with steep grades is constructed. and drainage follow, and both should receive careful attention and consideration at the hands of the road builder or those about to give out contracts for road construction. First the grade line must be established to reduce the hills and fill the valleys and bring the Same Road Properly Drained. roadway to a maximum uniform slope or grade, of easy ascent and descent; not too steep, so as to permit heavy loads to be hauled without overtaking the team, and where long ascents obtain rests or level sections should be introduced in the grade line at proper intervals to enable the teams to obtain a breathing place and take the loads off the collars. This will materially increase the tonnage that can be drawn and be a factor in determining the value of the road commercially, as the steep sections of the road limit the tonnage though the major portion of the road may be practically level. When an embankment across a waterway imposes as a dam and obstructs the free run off of the storm water a culvert should be provided under and across the roadway of adequate size to accommodate the storm water from each drainage area centering at each waterway, thus effectively draining the sub-base of the embankment so as to give it a dry footing. The one energy of good roads that must be continuously combated is water. Unmolested, it will undermine and wash away the most expensive and carefully constructed roadway, and if permitted to stand in ditches on the upper side of the roadway it will sleep through the sub-base and destroy the embankment. Thorough and perfect drainage secures a dry, permanent sub-base, without which a good road cannot be maintained with any reasonable cost. Expensive surfacing of roads with macadam, asphalt, oil or any other approved, material cannot stand under travel without a dry, well drained sub-base, which is the foundation of all permanent road construction. THE COST OF FARM TOOLS. They Should Be Made the Object of Great Care—Large Loss, Sustained by Misplacing or Misusing Them. Among the leaks in farming, in which, because of their apparent importance, little attention has been directed is the waste which occurs through a general lack of comprehension as to the extent and value of the minor articles which are necessary to the smooth running of a farm. This waste is exhibited in extra expense through the purchase of unnecessary tools and materials, in loss of time and discounts in buying numerous articles slightly or in small lots, in the loss, theft and rapid depreciation of items of equipment considered too unallocated to require systematic care and in the losses in many directions through the lack of or misplacement of the equipment at times when it is unusually needed. Now, armor, realizes the extent of their investment in small items of A choice stock of printing sundries and our supply rooms have an assortment that will please the most fastidious. We print programs, hand-bills, posters, visiting cards, business cards, bill heads, special designs in book-keeping, financial cards, and books, order books, statements, note-heads, letter heads, placards, minutes, pamphlets of every description, envelopes, large and small, streamers, badges, milk-tickets, labels, seals, policles, supplies for insurance companies and benevolent and secret orders. We can print any thing from a label, the size of a postage stamp to a poster as large as your front door. equipment or the item and inconvenience involved in buying numerous articles singly or in small lots. Before planning the farm equipment due consideration should be given to the necessary outlay for minor items, and where possible the latter should be secured at one purchase, thereby saving time and usually money. The purchase of these articles in such a manner will mean a total expenditure sufficient to impress the farmer with the need of their systematic care. A LADDER ON WHEELS. Can Be Constructed of Old Materials And Will Be a Great Help in Harvesting the Fruit Crop. Here is a good suggestion for a movable ladder, which should prove particularly valuable during fruit picking time; For the blind wheels, which are described as A A in the illustration, the wagon wheels can be used. The ladder B B is about ten feet high. The upright braces C C are maple boards six inches wide. The small wheels D D are fifteen inch iron drag wheels. A Ladder on Wheels. The platform at the top is a very convenient place for the basket. It is best to have the ladder about two feet wide at the bottom and let it taper so that it will be about a foot and a half at the top. This Indicator can easily be moved about and will greatly lighten the work of harvesting the fruit crop. Bpraying Trees. Before beginning to spray determine what kind of insects or diseases are destroying your plants. Leaf eating insects are killed by paris green, while those which suck the sap are not affected by it. Spray thoroughly. Going over the tree carefully and touching a spit here and there will do no good. Great care must be taken in the preparation of the solution. Many trees and plants are killed for lack of proper attention in this respect. Spraying will pay if intelligently done. Starting Lawn Grass in Fall. Make the home grounds as beautiful as time and means will allow. Now is a good time to start with a grassy lawn if you do not already have one. Late summer and early fall is good weather for either sodding or seedling. But plenty of expressions this month. They are beautiful at all seasons and particularly charming in winter, when plants are devoid of foliage. We Arranged It For You.

FARM NOTES If your neighbor gives you a suggestion that is helpful, thank him and pass it to some one else. This is your duty. Winter grazing will be needed if you expect profits from your animals. Sow rye oats, retch or crimson clover for your life stock. The man who plants four crops has four times the chances for a good yield that the one crop man has. It pays to diversify crops. Informed farming means that such methods are employed upon the farm, that the highest possible yield is secured, is it not worth while? More business as well as more ut- liance is needed upon our farms. Good crops will not benefit farmers—unless they are economically produced. Conservation in soil fertility should have the attention of every intelligent citizen. The progress of this nation is the result of the financing. Only $1.50 per year in advances.
