Y. M. C. A. BIG MEN'S MEETING AT PYTHIAN HALL SUNDAY AT 3:45 NEGROESINDORSE HADLEY FOR U. S. SENATE State Republican League in Convention at Sedalia also Indores Judge Lamb for Governor, Educational and Sociological Subjects Discussed by Noted Men. Eloquent Speeches Delivered by Greatest Orators in the State. Sedalia, Mo., October 19.—The State Negro'Republican League in session here.for two days, has been a remarkable gathering of leading professional, educational, sociological, theological, commercial and political men in the state. Subjects of vital interest to everyone were discussed and many recommendations were made and resolutions drafted. The condition of Lincoln. Institute was thoroughly investigated and it was resolved to demand that it be made a state university. Referring to Lincoln Institute it was shown that the Negroes were not getting their share of the collateral inheritance tax, nor their portion of the United States agricultural fund and chairs, which the government provides. The academic standard of the school is so low that so-called graduates cannot pass the examinations provided by county and state authorities. The deplorable condition of Negro schools in the state, particularly in the rural districts, was presented by several experienced teachers who have suffered the humiliating conditions. The League also voted to request a Negro assistant superintendent of Missouri schools; to make an effort to have Negroes appointed on the various juries; to demand a delegate air large to the National Republican Convention and to use every effort to reduce the criminal statutes of the Negroes in the courts. Honorable J Babcock, mayor of Sedalia, welcomed the delegates and was responded to by Attorney W. C. Hueston, of Kansas City. Music was furnished by Prof. Andra's band of boys. At the close of the meeting, Tuesday night, the League indorsed Herbert S. Hadley for Senator and Judge Henry Lamb for governor. The meetings were held in the council chamber of the city hall and a packed house attended the closing meeting. The following St. Louisians were present. Reverends Abbott, Smith, Carter, Davis and Mosley; Doctors Caston and S. T. Phillips; Attorneys Vaughn and Phillips; W. H. Fields, Chas, Turpin, Jos. P. Harris, J. H. Jones, J. H. Fluis, Lester Taylor, Edw. Staten, Wendall Gross, Clarence Flemming, D. W. Green, W. H. banks, Wm. Mathews, Capt. Tandy and Herbert T. Meadows representing the Argus. Among the prominent delegates from other cities were Prof. J. Silas Harris and W. C. Hueston of Kansas City, Prof. Williams of Boonville, Rufus Logan and Prof. Washington, of Columbia. The important questions discussed brought forth much brilliant oratory. Especially noteworthy were the speeches of Caston, Phillips, Mathews and Vaughn, of St. Louis; Hueston and Harris, of Kansas City and Washington, of Columbia. The following officials were elected: President; Prof. J. Silas Harris; Vice-Pres., George L. Vaughn; Secretary, P. C. Gibbons; Treasurer, Dr. J. T. Caston; Chaplin, Rev. S. A.

His discourse was full of logic and reason. He showed how hundreds of people in all walks of life fail because they did not go a little farther. In his closing remarks, Rev. Ross said, "Almost is nothing if you cannot make the last step. Almost is but to fail, almost cannot avail. Sad, sad, that bitter wall, almost, but lost." Before he went into the ministry Mr. Ross was a resident of this city. He was an active worker in the Y. M. C. A. and had a host of friends among the younger set.

The extension committee under the leadership of Mrs. Henrietta Jones and Mrs. Rosa Dyson, is doing splendid work in getting the churches and schools of St. Louis and county aroused to the need of such an organization. The many departments of the work will be taken up from time to time, just as fast as we are able to do so. The Cradle Roll Department, under the leadership of Mrs. Mattie Tyler, as president, is destined to bring together hundreds of St. Louis babies, and we hope by the splendid literature to be used in this department, and the studies taken up by the mothers, that it will be of untold benefit to the city. It is a cherished hope of our state president, Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, that a network of clubs will be formed all over the state, by April, as we have a cordial invitation to meet in conjunction with the White Parent-Teacher Association which meets in Columbia at that time. We were pleased to hear, during the splendid meetings held in our city last week, that several of the towns throughout the state have Parent-Teacher Clubs, and some have two or three. We are glad to announce that we are given the co-operation of the ministers and representative laymen from all over the state, and we are looking forward to making this one of the strongest, if not the strongest organization of the kind in the state. We ask the co-operation of all lovers of humanity and those who are for the betterment of the home and the uplift of the child. Next Wednesday our meeting will be at the Providence Baptist Church, corner Pendleton and Kennerly Aves. Mrs. E. J. Smith, state pres, Mrs. Viola Winston, local president, Mrs. M. E.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 24 ELISHA'S HEAVENLY DEFENDERS. LESSON TEXT-II Kings 6:8-12 GOLDEN TEXT-The angel of Jehovah encampth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them-Pa. 56:7. A map is useful in teaching this lesson. The events occurred during the revolution which resulted in the extermination of Jezebel and her brood. Dothan, a small walled town, was about ten miles north and slightly east of Samaria, the capital of Israel, and in history is connected with Joseph (Gen. 27). Damascus was the capital of Syria. 1. Danger, vv. 8-13. Jehoram, king of Israel, cleaved to the sins of Jeroboam and of Ahab, his father. In Judah, Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, married Athaliah, the dangher of Ahab and Jezebel. General Jehush famous for his driving, was soon to become king of Israel. The king of Assyria, being otherwise engaged, allowed Syria, the constant enemy of Israel, to make a fresh attack unhindered (v. 8). Elisha, the patriot, the "man of God." proves to be Israel's real safety. Elisha has not left us great revelations like Isaiah and other prophets, but he knew from day to day God's will, and he has power with him so that he could warn his people of impending danger. He had what the king and the people both lacked, a vision of God. He saw the needs and dangers, but also the resources at his command. Thus he delivered Israel many times (v. 10). We too, are thus frequently delivered, let us praise God. The underlying reason for Israel's danger was its neglect of the word of God, and the same can be said as explaining the defeat of the Syrians. True patriotism combines vision and warning. The king of Syria, like countless other despoits, knew not friend from foe, but evidently he had one retainer who told him the truth (v. 12). Some have suggested that this was Naaman; perhaps it was a captive Israelite. In either case it suggests God's knowledge of us. (See Ps 139:1-10.) II. Defense, vv. 14-18. It was not a mere guerrilla detachment sent to Dothan to capture Elisha before making the main attack upon Samaria, but a well-offered army. Elisha meant more to them than did the king of Israel. The servant of Elisha had risen early and saw only the hills surrounding Dothan, upon which was "a host with horses and chariots round about the city" (v. 15), and in consternation he exclaims: "Alas, my master, how shall we do?" Again we are impressed with the vision of Elisha and the lack of it on the servant's part. Elisha saw what the servant could not see; walking by faith he was not affrighted (John 14.1; Phil. 4: 6, 7; Isa. 12:2; Ps. 56:3). In response to Elisha's prayer the servant's eyes were opened, yet he was not one whit more safe than before (v. 17). It is a striking contrast here with the Elisha of chapter 2:10. It is a suggestion of the Christian annotated by the Holy Spirit and that of the saved sinner before that experience. Our eyes need to be opened to see that "they that be with us are more than they that be with them" (v. 16). III. Deliverance, vv. 19-23. In the first section we are taught the danger of a lack of vision. In the second section the emphasis is upon the need of a vision, whereas in this there is presented the use of a vision. To crystallize vision into experience is a difficult task for us all. Elisha prayed Jehovah, for whom he was acting, to amite the Syrians with blindness. This was not for vengeance, but (a) to teach the Syrians who the true God is (b), to lead Jehovah, the king, to go to Jehovah for help, and (c) to deliver the people from the raids of the Syrians. This word "blindness" (v. 18) conveys the idea of dazzling, visual bewilderment, hallucination and not of total loss of sight, thus making it easy for Elisha to lead them as he willed (v. 19). Mentally bewildered as a result of their physical ailment they failed to recognize the prophet. He did not deceive them, for they at last "found him" when he led them into Samaria and once more they could see. Within the walls of Samaria Elisha's prayer is again answered, their sight restored (v. 20) and they find themselves, at the mercy of Israel's king. The older and wiser man Elisha, forbids the younger, the king, to use his advantage (vv. 21-22), but rather to heap coals of fire upon their heads by setting before them food (Rom. 12:20, 21): within his power, such acts could not be attributed to fear. There are here presented three principal lessons. (1) The foolishness of seeking to circumvent God or of thwarting his purposes. (2) The protecting care God is constantly exercising over those who put their trust in him, and in his boundless resources. Joseph's prison was made gloomy by physical discomfort; by the mystery of his suffering, although an innocent man; and by the fact that after his kindness to the chief butler the latter forgot him. Yet there was light in the prison and that in several directions. Prisoners of the Lord. To begin with, the text tells us that "the Lord was with Joseph." As we express it sometimes in singing one of our hymns: Prisons would palaces prove. If Jesus would dwell with me there. Paul was enabled to write the epistle to the Philippians with its keyword, "Rejoice," from the Roman prison. John Bunyan in his "den" at Bedford saw Immanuel's land and the Delectable mountains. Madam Guyon said the Lord had shut her up in prison like a bird, with nothing to do but sing. Again, the Lord gave Joseph favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison (Gen. 39:21). The hearts of kings are in the hand of God and his afflicted people may be certain that God is not at a loss when he wishes to relieve them. Stories more fascinating than fiction could be written from the lives of Christians who have been given favor in the sight of the great ones of earth. The Lord kept Joseph unselfish. Most of us would have felt justified in nursing our troubles, but this man had "a heart at leisure from itself, to soothe and sympathize." One morning Joseph noticed that his fellow prisoners, the butler and baker, looked sad. He immediately inquired the cause and proceeded to help them to the best of his ability. After all, the best way to bear one's burdens is to help bear the burdens of others. Moreover, although Joseph little realized it, his interest in these prisoners marked a crisis in his life; as a result of it he finally came to the throne of Egypt, but he was ready for the crisis only because he was daily caring for the interests of others. How little we know of the crises which every day will bring forth, and how we need to walk habitually so as to please God if we are to meet these crises adequately! It is evident that the Lord preserved the faith of Joseph. We recall his own dreams when in his father's house, and the assurance they gave him that he would come to a place of elevation over his father and brethren; but here he was in the dungeon and he would have seemed justified had he lost faith in dreams. Yet that this was not the case is evident from his interpretation of the dreams of the butter and baker, and his confidence that God would bring them to pass. Psalm 105:19 (R. V.) tells us that "until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord tried him." The Lord kept Joseph unretaliating. When speaking with the chief butler he said, "I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon" (Gen. 40:15). Not a word does he utter concerning that wicked woman, Potiphar's wife, who had designed his ruin. How slow even Christians are to learn that they need do no unkind thing in order to fulfill the plans of God! "He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light and thy judgment as the noonday." Hoping In God. Altogether, God was training Joseph to hope in himself alone and to obey him in any event. Doubtless his hopes of deliverance were high when the chief butler left the prison, yet two long years passed before deliverance came. By the grace of God Joseph was kept from growing rebellious, but persisted in the way of duty. When God finds a man who will 'plod on, delighting to do his will under all circumstances, he will quickly set him in a large place and put a scooper in his hand. Joseph was in training for a throne and so are all true followers of Christ. What a misfortune if the chief, butler had remembered Joseph according to his promise! Joseph might have been delivered from the prison and sent away a free man out of the land, but scarcely more than this. How his story encourages us to trust and not be afraid! The Christian's Easy Chair. An aged Christian woman living in deep poverty was asked how she bore her troubles. She said when they became especially heavy she sat in her easy chair and rocked them away. The visitor looked for this wonderful chair, but saw no trace of it, until finally the happy man explained that it was Romans 1:24, "All things work together for good to them that love God."

People often ask how it is possible for me to give such good values for so little money. The reason is simple: I am a direct maker to agent and dealer, which plan leaves out all middlemen and their profits. My large production cuts down the cost of manufacturing and selling direct to agents and dealers cut down selling costs. I have no salesmen to whom I must pay a salary and expenses. Each article is made of the finest quality of hair and the workmanship is the very best. Become my agent and cut the cost of your merchandise and make the profit yourself. Ira H.

Handi- capped, Places a Great Machina, in Field Today.—J. Lyle Caston Sumner High School, though much handicapped by cligibility rules, is turning out one of the fastest «a- chines in her history. — Eligibility rules have barred such good men as Slater, J. Williams and Davenport, with many. other new fellows that were showing up well. < The spirit of the boys cannot be surpassed. Everyone that was able at the beginning of the year came out and as many as fifty-three candi- dates were given suits.” The team was rounding to form when the clig- ibility rules separated about twenty- four good men from us. Coach Giles went right sad bringing forth new material and Working hard with his old men. The injury to Arthur Greene, our sterling little quarter- hack, was also a bad break for us Bobo, a last year's substitute, was placed in the position and is daing: well, Hence captain Wesley and Coach Giles have patched up position after position and it will be no easy matter for any team to defeat old Sumner in the face of all this. Today's game with East St. oxi will be the test of the new teanf that Suwanee has made of nothing but hard working boys with the school spirit throbbing in every pulse and peart-beat. Last year East St. Louis was the only team that held Sumner te a decent score, the “maroon and white” winning by the score of 7:0. This year, in order that he may re- peat this vietory, Coach Giles will probably send the following lineup against East St, Louis: Giles. L. E., Lancaster, L. T., Tankins or Lewis, L. G, Yaeger, Center, Hutchinson, K. T, Dickerson or Lawson, R. G.. Caston, RE. Backs, Wesley, Young Bobo, Williams, HL, ‘Thompson, Me- Clusky, Walker, Greene and Paxton. Other members of the team that have shown up well and may have a chance are C. Williams, Foster, Scott, Curt, Carr, Johnstone, Parr, Cos tello, J. Williams, Slater and) many more. ‘ The boys will win today and by the time Thanksgiving rolls around th: greatest football machine in the middle west will trot upon the grid- iron to bring home honors for Sum- ner. George Thompson, who was injured last week was able to be out in his | togs and work pategae. | Thomas Giles has shown ups ex- cecdingly well during the past. week and has almost beaten C. Williams for the left end position, left open by Davenport, being ineligible. The absence of Greene and Daven- port has left the mass of the kick- ing and open field work to the right end. ~ Atl foyal Sumnerites; come go-wittr ATTENTION!

If they are too long they are likely to mature late; if they’ are too short, they wil! mature too early and will not produce ‘as large a, quantity of corn. Ears which are too large around are late maturing and are Iikely to have too much cob; whNe eara which are too slender will not yleld a large emount of corm. _ Now we know what sort of an ear 1s Dest’ for seed, But why should’ we select It so early and why gather It from the field? This Is ‘so we may select as seed, corn which matures early. In short seasons, when the frosts come late in the spring or early th the fall, a tate maturing cern wilt not ripen for seed. We should have corn which we are sure will ripen be fore the frosts. You understand, of course, that {f frost touches the: cortt before it ripens, the germ may be de stroyed and this corn will not grow. When it fs late enough so that all the corn 1s ripened, we, cannot. tell which ears ripened early; so we will 0 into the field early and gather out corn, selecting that which is already matured. i Then we must know the type of stalk on which the ear grew. susty bulletins and articles on se leeting seed corn and let the schools lead the county in this movement vttal to the country’s corn crop next year. . . ‘The Agricultural Extension Depart: ment of The International Harvester Company issues a special school bub letin on selecting seed corn trom-the field which {a sent for the asking POOR SEED MEANS A POOR STAND. \ It Every Ear of Corn Intended tor Planting Was Harvested at the Proper Time, and Properly Stored and Tested Before Planting, Mib Hions‘of Dollars Would Be Added te the Value of the Corn Crop Every Year.
