Predicted That Within Few Years Tillers of the Land Will Be Counting on the Fish Crop Just as New They Count on Wheat, Corn and Other Products. Washington—In a communication to the house of representatives asking for a new building for the bureau of fisheries Secretary Redfield of the department of commerce makes several interesting suggestions, and one of them is that within a few years farmers will be counting on their fish crop, and as now they count on wheat, corn and the other regular products of agriculture. The idea of harvesting sunflower, shad, fish, fern mackerel, shad, eels and carp is probably a strange one to the average city man, who has little practical knowledge of farming. But Secretary Red- Photo by American Press Association. SECRETARY REDFIELD. field's communication to congress shows that serious thought has been given to the idea. It is also possible that with the great weight in congress attached to the magic word "farmer," the members will give the fish commission a new building with more alacrity. The free seed legislation always meets unanimous approval. Perhaps in some future congress along with the packages of turnip seed and corn there will be sent out under congressional franks letters something like this: "Mf Esteemed Constituent—I am sending you under separate cover a choice collection of fish eggs, including the roe of the shad, the perch, the dace, the chub and the dogfish. Plant these fish ponds, where I hope they will grow to be large and luscious fishes." Secretary Redfield has been a consistent booster for the bureau of fisheries since he took office in the department of commerce, and under his administration the country has received several valuable suggestions as to the edibility of fish little known hitherto. On the subject of fish for farms he says to congress: "Nothing has been done toward the improvement of the races of fishes in respect to size, vigor, rapidity of growth and edible qualities. It is certain that the farms will assume importance within the next few years, and the farmer should have at his command the best brood stock obtainable and information in regard to its handling and improvement at least equal in reliability to that which he can obtain respecting poultry." FISTS TESTED RECRUITS. Riley Made Sure Men He Recommended Were Fighters. Chicago—TOM Riley of West Fifth street was told at the recruiting station that he was too old to fight, although he begged for an opportunity to enlist. "I guess I'm too old to fight," he said, as he twisted his pearled and bony hands he can send ye some likely lads. When he came in, cap, and tell ye ther'e r'm Tom Riley, we use wrd-r they'll be all right." That was one day recently. Since then more than twenty-five huskies have come in, saying they were "recruited" by Tom Riley. Barring black eyes and bruised faces, they were ideal recruits and were gladly accepted. Old Tom himself appeared again at the station and was informed that all of his recruits had been accepted. Shave Renews His Youth. Bridgeville, Del.—Shaved for the first time in fifty years, Daniel F. Long, who lives outside of Bridgeville, is expecting to become a regular village "cutup." Long is about eighty years old and has not been shaved since he was thirty years old. Long has never visited a large city, never seen him, never was on a railroad and never seen a movie show. He expects to go to a "movie" and plans to visit Philadelphia on the next excursion. GREAT AMERICAN GAME THIS YEAR, GARDENING Postal Card to Your Congressman Will Bring You Abundant Seed. Washington. — The great American game of 1917 is going to be gardening. By midsummer anybody over eight years old who hasn't learned how to raise foodstuffs on whatever land hapens to be handy will feel as lonely as a tourist in a foreign land who can't speak the language, says Renelette Lovewell of the Vigilantes. Villagers especially are interested, and little back yard plots that have hitherto yielded only a dozen or so radishes, a few anaemic tomatoes and a crop of sunflowers are going to be gardens this year, even if the hydrangea has to come down and the hydrangea has to move around to the frost of the house. Potatoes, turnips and cabbages will be stored away for winter use and peas, string beans, corn, tomatoes and lima beans canned. Nowadays there need be no worry about the jinx in the jars that used to make fruit and vegetables spoil. The department of agriculture and the state colleges send for the asking such clear and concise directions for successful canning that with the wash boiler and a supply of glass jars ten-year-old Susie can "put up" enough fruit and vegetables to see the whole family through until spring. A little bit of ground in the back yard, properly prepared, planted and tended, will scare Friend Wolf and old high Cost of Living away from the front yard. Fruit and vegetables are the heathiest anywhere, and with flour and "shortening" soaring to unheard of prices, canned fruits make an appetizing substitute for cakes and ples. A postal card to your congressman requesting seeds will bring an abundant supply in the mail, and the experts at Washington are glad to send practical advice about how to make these seeds yield real entable crops. The great American game of 1917, as we said, is going to be gardening. Batter up! Play ball! AFTERNOON TEA OF BRITON THREATENED City of London Alone Serves Million Teas a Day Seven Days a Week. London. — One of England's most cherished institutions was menaced with destruction in the nation wide crisis over shortage of breadstuffs. It is the afternoon tea, not the beverage, but the institution itself. Lord Devonport's declaration as food controller that the one meatless day a week had been a failure because of British tendency to replace flesh food with breadstuffs and his warning that rationing might be near unless there was an immediate reduction in consumption of bread and cake brought about the crisis on the afternoon tea question. From the food controller's office it was declared that if everybody in England ate two ounces less of bread each day the food problem would be solved. At least that amount of bread or cake is consumed in England's fourth meal every afternoon. Some bold spirits in England have already been writing to the Times suggesting abandonment of tea, but the idea is revolutionary. London alone serves a million teas a day seven days a week. The trains from Liverpool to London stop at Leeds—for tea—and this despite shortage of cars and power and necessity of speedy transportation. Business houses throughout England halt work for tea. Tea shops every afternoon resemble the morning rush on the New York subway. Tea stores's most recent appeal for bread savings the declared picturelessly that every loaf saved is as valuable as a shell. BATTLES WITH WOLVES Pack Attacks Veterarianian on Lonely Road, and He Shoots. Crane, Mo.-C. L. Egbert, a veterinarian, of Crane, had an encounter with a pack of wolves near-Garber. He was driving along a lonely road in a cart when he came upon the wolves, which had just attacked and brought down a yearling steer. Mr. Egbert fired into the pack with his revolver, killing one. The others immediately attacked the horse. The immediately leaped on the cart and was shot. Unarmed is horse to a gallop, Mr. Egbert drove the road to a point where he could safely reload his revolver. When he returned to the scene the wolves had fled. He brought the slain wolves into Crane. Wolves have become numerous in the Ozark region again, but this is the first time in a number of years they have attacked a person. Girls Making Own Dresses Sionx City, In.-High school girls of this city are designing and making their own dresses at a saving of $10 to $25 on each gown. All the girls have to pay for is the material. Teaching them how to make the dresses is part of the education given them in the public high schools. When done the girls may either wear or sell them. More than seventy girls are already taking the course, which is in its first year. M. G. Clark, superintendent of city schools, is heartily in favor of the plan. THE APPEAL Minnesota Historical Society THE ST. PAUL AND MINNEA ODDLY IDENTIFIES HIS CHUM BY RADIO Story Exemplifies Traditional Sea Caution on American Destroyer. Queenstown — American naval officers are highly amused over a recent "wireless romance" connected with an American destroyer. The story well exemplifies traditional sea caution and hangs on the fact that by reason of two Americans having been roommates at St. John's college at Annapolis years ago information was confirmed at sea that otherwise would have remained doubtful. One man is a civilian doctor, who has taken an important post in Great Britain; the other is a paymaster in the navy. Two days before the destroyers sailed from the United States these old friends ate a farewell dinner. The doctor was to sail by a liner, but was ignorant of the ship's name and date of sailing. The paymaster was under orders to join his destroyer. When several days at sea the destroyer got into distant connection one night with a certain vessel and made a code inquiry as to the vessel's position, course and speed. No direct reply was made, the vessel fearing a submarine trick and the possibility of a stolen code book. Instead of answering a demand was made to the destroyer. "Give the name of your ship in code." The das noncomplied. Even this did not accomplish. Second wireless was sent out, "What is the name of your paymaster, who is the friend of Dr. —, a passenger aboard this ship?" Then the paymaster of the destroyer was called into the wireless cabin and asked if he knew Dr. —, "Sure!" he replied. "He was my best pal. We were roommates at college and had dinner together two nights before I made a phone call." The destroyer sent out another radio, saying, "Paymaster —, the doctor's oldest friend." After this corroborative statement the vessel at last gave her position, course and speed. FRENCH GUN SCHOOL IS READY FOR AMERICANS Large Force of Instructors Assembled at Fontainebleau. Special Facilities Offered. Paris—An American newspaper man who has been able to visit the artillery training school at Fontainebleau describes the preparation the French military authorities are making in view of the training of American officers. Whereas otherwise a very stiff examination is necessary to pass into the school, in the case of Americans special facilities will be made. Four months will be required to fit the latter for the grade of what is called here aspirant, which is the grade preceding second lieutenant. Sixteen hundred American pupils are expected at Fontainebleau, and a special corps of English speaking instructors has already been formed so new arrivals can start work with a scant knowledge of trigonometry, elementary physics and chemistry. The ordinary procedure is to be assigned to a regiment of artillery. At the depot the men are equipped with uniforms and everything necessary, then sent to Fontainebleau as soon as possible. His anxious to avail themselves of this opportunity might even come to Europe on their own initiative, for they would be looked after by the American military attache and the ministry of war and would only require a very limited outfit, consisting of changes of summer and winter underwear and riding boots; if possible, also sugar, chocolate and canned beef. CHATEAU FOR PERSHING One Hundred Motorcars Free For Use of Staff. Paris.-General Pershing's headquarters in France already have been selected by the United States embassy and the choice approved by the war department at Washington, although the exact location has not yet been made public. The first American headquarters will be in a chateau offered free by a titled Frenchman and will accommodate General Pershing and his staff. French and American automobile owners already have offered the United States ambassador more than 100 motorcars free for the use of the station. A new field for American girls has opened in France with the decision to replace the chauffeurs of automobile ambulances, except those at the front, with women drivers. Since the great proportion of French women are already, war workers, it is expected that American girls will fill the positions. DR. SHAW DOES BIT. Sacrifices Coffee, Toast and Boiled Egg to Aid Nation. Pittsburgh.—Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, noted suffragist leader, began "doing her bit" for the United States. Accustomed to two soft boiled eggs and two large pieces of toast for breakfast, Dr. Shaw now eats only one egg and one piece of toast and drinks hot water instead of coffee. "It is a woman's part to conserve the food supply," Dr. Shaw said. "It is just one way for her to do her bit in the great war." Defective Page PRINCESS TO WED Ceremony Is Expected to Unite Japan and Korea. Prince Yi, Prospective Bridegroom, in Twenty Years Old and Princess Fateen—Young Prince is a Student in Military Academy, From Which He'll Be Graduated Next Year. Tokyo—the secret already suspected of the visit of Count Terauchi, governor general of Korea, to Japan is now fully revealed—the announcement of the betrothal of Prince Yi, eldest son of the former Kaizawa Imperial, the Princess Masako Nashimoto, first daughter of Major General Prince and Princess Nashimoto, says the East and West News agency. The prince is high in Japanese army circles. The idea of the union and the choice of the lady are highly approved in Japan. Prince Yi is twenty years old, and the princess is fifteen, and both are receiving the education, so the marriage will not take place for a few years. All the necessary arrangements have been considered except the formal sanction of the emperor and the formal approval of Prince Yi, father of Prince Yi, and Prince Yi, his brother—both stated to be matters of form, since Count Terauchi obtained the consent of the Korean princes before he leased. Prince Masako Nashimoto was born in November, 1901, and is now in the third year class in the Pine School. She will complete her course in the middle grade in 1918. She is one of the best students in her class. The young Prince Yi is a student in the Military academy, from which he will be graduated next year. Since he was brought to Japan by the late Prince Ito several years ago he has lived entirely according to Japanese culture. The idea of such a union originated with the late Prince Ito. No provision for a marriage of this sort is made in the constitution for the imperial family of Japan. As a result a revision in the constitution will be necessary. MOTORMAN FOR HIS HEALTH. Accident Discovers Son of Well to Do Parents on Sand Car. New York. How Frederick M. Hull, Jr. the son of well to do parents, became a motorman to regain his health became known after a collision between a trolley and a sand car of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company. Hull, who is twenty-four years old, was in charge of the sand car. As he was attempting to make a switch a passenger car in charge of John Doberty coming in the opposite direction collided with it. Doberty was taken to the Kings County hospital suffering from cuts and bruises. It was learned after the accident that Hull was the son of Mrs. Irving T. Hynds, who married a second time. In his earlier years he was a popular athlete in Erasmus Hall high school. On June 10, 1915, he disappeared from home and was absent six days. When he returned to town he was suffering from a nervous condition. His physician said he was suffering from amnesia and recommended outdoor employment. Four months ago he took the job as motorman. GUM RACK FOR SCHOOLS. Thinka Children Should Have it on Playgrounds. Madison, Wis. - The State Educational Bulletin, issued recently, comments favorably on a suggestion of President J. W. Crabtree of the River Falls Normal school that there should be gum racks in schools. "Pupils have a right to chew gum," said President Crabtree. "Teachers do it, but they know when and how. Why not teach these conventionalities to the pupils?" permit the pupils to chew gum on the playground and on the way to and from school. But what will the poor child do with his gum while the recitation or assembly room? A rack at the entrance of the room containing a number and peg for each pupil solves the problem." This Is Some Family. Berea, Ky.-Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Davidson of this city have eleven children, 100 grandchildren and thirty-two great-grandchildren. Their children, in the order of their ages, with their offspring, are as follows: Mrs. Hensley, fifteen children and twelve grandchildren; Mrs. Barrett, ten children and ten grandchildren; Mrs. Baker, eight children and three grandchildren; Mrs. Browne, six grandchildren; John Davidson, eight children; Mrs. Robbins, eight children; Samuel Davidson, eight children; Mrs Spurlock, eight children and one grandchild; Mrs. Robbins, five children; Mrs. Gilbert, five children; Caleb Davidson, three children. Didn't Believe in Banks. St. Louis.-Storles of gold pieces on a tray stacked six inches high, large sums buried in out of way corners of a Gasconade county (Mo.) farm and of large denominations stuck between the feet of the walls. Form the basis of a suit brought in probate court by the beirs of George V. Miller, a wealthy farmer, who didn't believe in banks. FARM HANDS GET $45 A MONTH, WITH BOARD That's in South Dakota, Where Bumper Crops Are Predicted. Sloux Falls, S. D.-Because of a shortage of farm hands it has become necessary in many parts of South Dakota for the women and boys of the households and even the girls to work in the fields. So the farmers and their wives and children are hard at work putting in what is believed to be the greatest acreage of spring wheat in the history of the state. With the prospect that prices for foodstuffs will continue high during the war the farmers have decided to increase their crop acreage. With a fad of the season South Dakota will produce that the greatest crop of foodstuffs in its history. The residents of towns are preparing to larger vegetable gardens than ever before there is every indication that the state will make a new record in crop production this year. Farm hands ready for work demand from $3 to $14 a month and board, and in many instances the farmers pay prices. Only a few years ago good farm hands could be bad from $12 to $20 a month and board, and those who received the higher nugre were the envolved of their fellows. NATIVES LOOTED SHIP DRIVEN IN BY A U BOAT Battle Between Crew and Beach Combers, During Which One of Latter Was Killed. New York.—Driven by pitiless "tigers of the sea" into the clutches of equally pitiless human tigers lurking along the beaches of northern Spain was the fate of the officers and crew of the schooner Phineas W. Sprague, the captain and chief officer of which vessel arrived in an American port on board a passenger liner from Cadiz. According to Captain F. A. Jervis, the Sprague was pursued by a German Minaus coasting through the bay of Biscay and forcing to seek refuge inside the ship under limit. There the vessel was caught by a treacherous current and thrown on the beach near Carbonares, Spain. No sooner did the residents of that part of King Afonso's domain see that the schooner was helpless, declares the captain, then boarded the vessel in droves and commenced, to loot her. A battle between the crew of the schooner and the beach combers ensued, during which one of the latter was killed. The Sprague was a total loss. On board the same vessel which brought Captain Jarris and his chief officer back to the country were several other survivings of marine disasters, including Captain Johnson and twenty-one men of the steamship Zward and five men from the schooner Edwin R. Hunt, both of which were destroyed by U. boats. OWL MAKES TOWN DARK. Alights on Electric Wire, Damaging Lighting Service. Durham, N. C.—A few nights ago about 9:30 o'clock the electric lights of Morgantown, N. C., began flickering and finally went out. It was later a little insignificant, but the trouble screen owl was the first to attempt to alight on an insulator. The bird was shown on the streets of the town. Its wings were scorched from tip to tip and its body was burned by contact with the live wire. When the owl alighted on the insulator the current was started racing to the insulator's insulator burst. The line wire was burned when it fell the current was cut off automatically at the switching station. BREEZE GOT THE MONEY. Any One May Keep Three One-Dollar Bills if He Finds Them. Wichita, Kan.—The wind blew freely the other day in Wichita. Mrs. Sam Sanders of Whitewater, who had been shopping, did not close her pock- ture at the corner of Main street in Douglass. At the corner of the dollar bill and three one-dollar bills were blown out. They rose high in the air, and John Young, a police captain, and others went in pursuit. A block away a negro overtook the "Twee." The others had disappe- pled. "Twee" to Mrs. Sanders, he returned it, with bow. "Thank you," said she. "You can have the others if you end them." DRAFT SONS TO FARM Fathers Plan Land Purchase to Exempt Boys From Army. Washington--Casting about for ways to keep their sons, who are a little over twenty-one, out of the army, two rich men in upper New York state have written to Representative Charles B. Smith to know if they purchased farms and put their boys on them would not that exempt their sons from the draft. They proposed to make their sons superintendents of the farms and thus entitled to exemption, they thought, as "agricultural," at the war department it was said that this ruse would not get very far, as neighbors could be depended upon to expose it. MOUNTAIN TRAIL BELLS TO HELP OUT TRAVELERS Located Thousands of Feet Above Sea Level In Rockies. Denver — Travelers accustomed to the sound of fg bellies on the Atlantic or Pacific coast will be amazed, perchance, to hear the warning ring next summer from 10,000 to 14,000 feet above the sea level in the Rocky mountain range. The tragic end of the Rev. Thornton R. Sampson of Texas, who disappeared in the Rocky Mountain National park while on a walking tour, has resulted in plans to safeguard the precipitous and dangerous trails of the park. L. C. Way, supervisor of the Colorado playground, has devised the plan of having fg bellies scattered along the intervals from a quarter to a half mile in the park's songs peak. The bellies glacier and Halley's Telescope will be of deep tone and will be operated by a system similar to weather vanes. The bellies will be placed on posts about seven feet high. Suspended over the bell will be a small, light wooden paddle. The slightest breeze will tilt the bellies and ring the bell. There probably would be one day in the year when the breeze would be insulted to ring the bell. While the mountains are not too dangerous for travel, even the most experienced traveler sometimes will lose the trails in the mountains. About 11,000 feet above sea level and above 11,000 feet line heavy clouds sometimes totally obscure the sight of the traveler. Walking in the face of the wind with his head lowered, he is apt to lose his bearings. LARGEST WIRELESS PLANT AT SAN DIEGO New $300,000 Station Is Made Ready For Work After Sat- factory Tests. San Diego, Cal.-The new $300,000 wireless telegraph station was recently completed and officially put in commission after suitable tests. It is the largest and most powerful radio station in the western hemisphere and is capable of carrying for 12,000 miles Messages from the British fleet cruising in the North sea, from the high powered German plant at Berlin and from American ships and from Australia have been intercepted. Three stations encircling radio service of the United States navy are now completed. These are the stations at San Diego, Arlington and Darden (Panama canal zone). A fourth is under construction at Manila. The three 600 foot aerial towers form a triangle. They contain 1,000,000 pounds of fabricated steel and are the largest radio towers in the world. They are 150 feet in width at the base and eight feet at the apex. They are placed 1,100 feet apart. His porcelain insulators embedded in concrete from the base of each leg of the towers. The receiving room is absolutely sound proof, the walls and floors being padded with asbestos. There are four distinct and complete controlling sets installed in the receiving room, enabling any one of the four operators or all four simultaneously to send and receive messages. The nerials or antennae weigh sixteen tons and have a sag between towers of 100 feet. They are twice as large as those strung from the Elfel tower. The helix is fourteen feet in diameter and the height, or nine feet higher than the helix used in ordinary naval and commercial stations. WOMAN IS A MAIL CARRIER. She Braves Winter and Bad Roads In Maryland. Baltimore - Drawing snow, sleet, drifts, biting winds in the winter and blistering and scorching heat in the summer. Miss Julia M. Shafer of Knoxville, Md., for twelve years has served the United States as rural mail carrier. She is now covering the same route her father traveled fourteen years ago, when the route first was established. Miss Shafer in those days was a substitute for her father; now the father is substituting for her. In the twelve years that Miss Shafer has carried mail it is estimated that she has traveled 93,600 miles. She makes twenty-five miles six days of the week. With the exception of the regular fifteen day annual vacation, Miss Shafer has been off duty only thirty days in twelve years. LINER SAVES TWO AT SEA; Barge Crew Drifting In Ice Covered Craft—Graft $40 Purse. New York.—The Ward liner Saratoga, from Havana, brought in two seamen, Jose Faria and Manual Baptista, crew of the coal bargel Edward P. Clark, which, with her sister barge, the Theodora Palma, broke away from the northwestely blast. The Saratoga, fell in the Clark, covered with ice and the seas breaking over her, about 240 miles south of Sandy Hook. The two men launched a dory and rowed to the Saratoga and boarded her by a sea ladder. Captain Miller of the Saratoga also noted another barge flying distress signals with a tank standing by and preparing to take off the seamen. Passengers of the Saratoga in a purse of $40 for the two seamen. $2.40 PER YEAR: MARINES GO FIRST Seasoned Veterans to Be Under Colonel Doyen's Command. MAINLY FROM WEST INDIES. Colonel Doyen, Fifty-eight Years Old, is Graduate of Naval Academy—He Has Seen Service In the Philippines and Orient and In Haiti and Santo Domingo. Washington.—A regiment of veteran United States marines continued as regular infantry, will go to France as part of Major John J. Pershing's command. There will be approximately 2,000 men in the regiment, probably the largest numerically that will be engaged on the western front. Colonel James A. Doyen, at present command of the United States marine barracks in this city, who has been in the service thirty-four years, will command this new American contingent. For the most part the marines will be taken from regiments now on duty in Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Cuba. Photo by American Press Association. COLONEL CHARLES A. DOYEN. This means that Secretary Daniels will send the pick of "sea soldiers" with General Pershing's command. Every marine in the contingent will be a veteran who has been frequently in action. The American marines have been characterized as the peer of any fighting force on earth. Colonel Doyen is a graduate of the Naval academy. He is fifty-eight years old, but remarkably active for a man of his years. He has seen service in the Philippines and the orient, in Haiti and Santo Domingo and in other places wherever marines have been in action. Secretary Daniels would give no inking as to when the big regiment will go to battle. This information will be in advance, just as the departure of General Peterson his staff and the force which is to follow them will be closely guarded by the military authorities. SCHEME TO BEAT U BOAT. Connecticut Man Would Corral Torpedoes With Magnet. Waterbury, Conn.-Fred Hemmings has invented a device to offset the danger of the torpedo in its attack from the submarine or otherwise. The device is an electric arrangement of great magnetic power attached to the side of the ship, which will attract the torpedo, bring it to the side of the ship attacked and then lift it to the deck without exploding it. Mr. Hemmings believes it is destined to revolutionize sea fighting and will make vessels practically immune from torpedo attacks. Lawrence Addicks, chairman of the naval board, is now considering its adoption for service. Theodore Roosevelt has congratulated Mr. Hemmings in a private letter. PLOWING DAY AND NIGHT. Tractors and Searchlights Used to Help Cayuga County Farmers. Auburn, N. Y.—The Cayuga County Home Defense league committee began intensive food production on the farms of the county by putting out tractors which will plow continuously day and night. Searchlights have been installed, and three crews will go with each machine, working in eight hour shifts. The committee charges farmers $2.50 per acre to plow and $2.50 an acre to plow and flat the land, which covers cost of operation and maintenance. PLAN HOW TO MAKE AN EGG WEIGH MORE Simple as adding two and two is the plan launched in Chicago by the American Poultry association to increase the nation's meat supply by 100,000,000 pounds in four months. Raise chickens; is the answer. Lone egg doesn't weigh much, but in it it can be trans-formed into a chicken weighing three pounds. AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ISSUED WEEKLY J. Q.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1917 ```markdown ``` "Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." —John Stuart Mill. OH, FOR ANOTHER EMANCIPA TOR! Today is the fifty-first anniversary of the issuance of the first Emancipation Proclamation of the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. He emancipated 4,000,000 of the people of the country from slavery, whose descendants, now grown to be 10,000,000 citizens, or, one-tenth of the entire population of this country, need to be emancipated from the blighting curse of color prejudice that seems to warp the very souls of the other nine-tenths of the citizens. Oh, for another emancipator from this condition almost as damnable as slavery. CONVERTING THE ESKIMO Christian missionaries seem to have made little headway in converting the Eskimo in the far north, according to Donald B. MacMillan, head of the Crockerland expedition, who has recently returned to New York, after four years in the Arctic. Mr. McMillan was in daily contact with the Eskimos. He finds them lovable and easily managed. The members of the expedition trusted, implicitly the little colony of six families at Eta, base of the expedition, on the northeast shore of Greenland, and never suffered a loss by theft. Yet the same understanding of the Eskimo character has made Mr. McMillan skeptical as to the power of missionary work to better their social standards. "I don't believe the missionaries will be able to change the social customs of the Eskimos very greatly. They are a happy, care-free, jovial people. They are continually laughing. If they see a man in serious thought for more than a few minutes at a time they think something is wrong with him. And, really, they have all the necessary virtues right now. They love each other, they care for each other's welfare, and they protect each other. If one is hungry all are hungry. They have a perfect socialism. "And they are absolutely honest. Our supplies at Eta lay on the ground in plain view of every one in the settlement for four years, and no one ever touched them without permission. In New York after dark they wouldn't spend four minutes before being stolen. "Piblocko" is the word that ex- R. H.

My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire.

It means "run amuck; gone clean crazy." The Eskimos believe that all the white man nations have gone "piblocko." "I tried to explain," Mr. MacMillan said, "that the war started because Germany wanted to acquire more land, but they wouldn't believe it; they only shook their heads and said: 'No; that's impossible. There is plenty of land for everybody.' When we were getting ready to leave Eta they begged us to remain with them. 'Why go back there?'—meaning civilization—they asked us, 'where everyone is piblocko? Stay here with us and be happy.'" THE APPEAL believes that the mis stonaries who are trying to "convert" the Eskimos are "piblocko," especially those from the United States who are trying to impose the American brand of jimcorw Christianity on them. If they have all of the necessary virtues right now, why waste time and money teaching them the murderous Christianity of America? THE FATHER OF SLAVERY. The first man to advocate the introduction of slaves from Africa into the new world was Bartholomew de Las Casas, a Spanish priest, who was born in Seville, Spain, on Aug. 23, 1474. "The father of African slavery in America" first crossed the Atlantic when, at the age of 19, he accompanied his father with Columbus to the West Indies. On returning to Spain, he determined to fit himself for the duties of a missionary and to return to America, "there to spend his days in preaching the gospel to the Indians, and humanity to their oppressors." It was his tender regard for the mistreated natives that led him to suggest that African slaves be imported to labor in the fields and mines and thus relieve the Indians of a burden they were temporarily unfitted to bear. His suggestion was followed, and the African slave trade was inaugurated. A dozen times Las Casas crossed the ocean to plead the cause of the Indians at the foot of the Spanish throne. The town of Cumana, in Venezuela, still boasts of an old church in which "the father of slavery in America" preached. Las Casas returned to Spain late in life and died in Madrid at the age of 92. In a recent speech ex-Senator Elijah Root said: "America's great opportunity was slipping away, but at the eleventh hour we grasped it and found opportunity to restore ourselves. Through it we shall find our national soul and I have faith in God's people, for they are the earth's democracies." The New York mayor's committee for National Defense will start a campaign this Fall for the Americanization of the foreign-speaking people of the city. The slogan is to be: "One city, one loyalty, one people." "The melting pot must be made to melt," said committee members. The colored man has a large part in raising cotton in the South. More than one-third of the cotton farms are cultivated by colored men, either as owner or tenant. PROTEST AGAINST SEGREGATION. Colored Chicagoans Wire President Wilson Opposing Jimcrowism in the New National Army. Protesting against the announced policy of keeping colored and white soldiers separately in cantonments and insisting "that regiments be formed and training provided with the right to vote on race, a letter of protest has been sent to President Wilson, signed by the executive committee of the committee on national citizenship defense, at Chicago, Ill. The signers are: Rev. Archibald J. Carey, pastor, and warden instituted by the National Association of assistant corporation counsel; Maj. Robert R. Jackson, member Fifth general assembly; Edward D. Green, former member Illinois legislature; Louis B. Anderson, alderman, second ward; George W. Ellis, assistant corporation counsel; Robert S. Abrahams, assistant corporation counsel; B. Turner, editor Illinois Idee A CORRECTION To the Editor OF THE APPEAL. I became interested in an article which appeared in your issue of the 15th September inst., because it was an attractive, and, to me, compelling harbour, "The Father of Slavery." But, I was doomed to disappointment, for I found that your statements were but a reassertion, substantially, of your charge against a man, whose power and authority were early history of the Western Hemisphere have compelled students of that science, after a lapse of centuries, to become more familiar with the life of such marvelous activity in the interest of progress and justice. You stated that Las Casas was the "first man to advocate the introduction of slaves from Africa into the new world," basing your opinion, I believe, on his assumption that it was on his own that African slave trade was inaugurated in America. Las Casas was not guilty of either of these charges, by Royal mandate given Sept. 3, 1500, to Don Nicholas de Ovando, Venerable Spaniolao, Negro slaves were introduced in America, the early historian, Herera and other writers, assert that the number of Negro slaves was increased for years afterwards. In the year 1516, it was known that the 'Spanish monarch gave letters to his Flemish friends in the traffic of Negro slaves in the traffic of Negro slaves. It was not until 1517, years after the introduction of African slaves into America and the undoubted establishment of the slave trade, that Las Casas came on the scene with his emigration which has since served as monuments as a basis for their outrageous charge against him. in the interests of truth and fair play, would ask you to find space for this book, and would ask you for Las Casas was specially designated as "a Spanish priest," a designation which will surely have the effect of making the minds of colored people against the Catholic Church by the method, so generally in use, of circulating falsehoods, whether or not by design. L. L. THEOBALD. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 19, 1917 DO NOT HAVE FAIR DEAL. Fight and Die for Country But Are Not Given Honor. (From the Christian Register, Boston). The mutiny of colored soldiers, and their murderous procedure, is peculiarly fortunate at the present time. It adds fuel to the name of race crimes, and no spouse the cause of colored people are to unmilh treatment, they suffer by no commit themselves to any extenuation of their wrongdoing. The crimes committed by these soldiers should be brought home to those guilty of them. But it should be recognized, even here, that colored soldiers do not have a fair deal. They are not given for their country and die for it, and they have done so creditably, but they are not given corresponding honor. The salute is not required, or at least is not given, to colored officers equally with white officers. It is possible that they are not justification, lies behind the insubordination which does not appear in the published reports. COLORED TROOPS Baker Says They Will Be Trained in States Where Raised. Washington, D. C.—Secretary Baker of the war department has announced that colored troops drafted into the United States army will receive the same consideration and treatment under the rules of the army. These troops drafted in states having camps of their own will be trained in them, which means that the Illinois contingent of colored troops will train at Rockford. Units from other states are trained and trained with their state troops as separate organizations, the same as is now done in the regular army. Will Be Called Separately. "The rule of the regular army in the matter of the training of the colored troops as separate organizations will be adhered to," said Mr. Baker. "The call for colored men will be postponed until one of the latter calls, so that they will be called at a separate time, the officer giving an opportunity to the office of camps to assemble the organizations of the corps, substantially all at one time. They will not be called last, but they will be called separately. May Volunteer for France. "All colored men called in a state which has a cantonment in it will be organized and train there. Provision will be made for the assembling of colored troops from those states which have no cantonments. It has not yet been made. An opportunity will be given to both white and colored men using the selected forces to volunteer for the war. This includes lines of communication organizations, which is necessary to form, and it is hoped that an adequate number will volunteer for this military but noncombatant service, but there will be both combatant and noncombatant organizations, just as there are white organizations. Those who volunteer for this service, it is said, will have an early opportunity to go to France." Graduation of Colored Officers Is Deferred. Washington.—The date of graduation of the colored officers training camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, is deferred until Oct. 15. Secretary of State announced today. Instruction at the camp will be continued until that date. Police Officer Is Indicted for Houston Riots. Houston, Texas.-Lee Sparks, the Houston police officer whose alleged assault on Sergt Baltimore, a colored trooper of the Twenty-fourth infantry, is said to have preceded the riot of the colored troops on August 23, in tenteen persons were killed and twenty-two wounded, has been indicted by the Harris county grand jury on two charges. One indictment charges him with aggravated assault on Sergt Baltimore. The second charges him murder in conjunction with the death of Wallace Williams, a colored civilian who was shot to death on the Sunday following the riot. Why Did They Prefer "Colored?"

Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says it Causes Mental and Physical Separation. (From the Amsterdam News.) bauter Amsterdam News: Sir: I cannot too heartily congratulate you on a recent editorial discouraging the use of the word "Negro." There is no greater delight enjoyed by people in the United States today than the present unfortunate term. Why? They realize that it is the most potential factor at work at the present to bring about both a physical and mental change in color of its use is on the increase in our speakers and writers, especially Do Bois and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nausea, is necessary to the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is inaccurate as applied to millions of colored people, but it is also alarmingly injurious, for the following reasons: It has never stood historically or in the present, anywhere in the word, for anything noble or uplifting. Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but to the Sudanese and Senegambians only. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negrofy," and its compounds, Negrohead, Negro-fly, Negro-monkey, are clearly, in their associations, degrading. d. Its feminine form, "Negress," is justly and correctly used to define your wife and daughter and sweetheart, if you favor the use of the masculine. e. It has been the word used by the southern whites for two centuries, when formally speaking or writing about an unworthy or criminal man or woman of the race. For when he invariably worthy he invariably says "colored." f. It is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Nigro" and "a." As stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in cutting us off from the thought, sympathy and co-operation of the millions of colored Africans, and Islanders of the Yonder world. "I hate the term Negro because it is being used in terms of hatred. It is the cause of the segregation of the town and the use of them in public places; it is the disfranchisement him; and it is an excuse for lynching him.

(From the Christian Register, Boston No one can be said to know any class of people who has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the class. We compare many persons we have the best in and think they know the colored race of people who have had no such contact, but who have come into intimate and sympathetic relations with large numbers of that race whom their Southern friends have never known; and of the people of people we should say that the second race whom they have better than the first. They know aspirations among them that the others do not know, or, knowing, do not enter into and appreciate; they know capabilities by direct contact with the second race whom they are obliged of; they know possibilities only respect and sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are blinded. If those who knew the colored race through the mass and know that individual possibilities could know what stratified in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously candid with themselves, they would revise their judgments and possibly soften their prejudices. At any rate, they would choose one whom they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the GOD GIVE God give us men!

That we much rather be, and associate among ourselves, is a saying by Coates, most almost true. That is a basement is a feeling of avowed cowardice and innate inferiority. It is an utter impossibility for the two races to subscribe to a common government, and, at the same time, each race works on the same theory that the theory has been tried and resulted in failure; instead of making for harmony and cordial good feeling between two races, it has increase race hatred and antagonism in leaps and falls, and have heeded too long the advice from the teachers leadership that resistance, wrong, that it only breeds race hatred and antagonism; that the thing for us to do is to get property and other rights will inevitably follow. Their advice fails fully and have been the terms of residence segregation, street segregation, confiscation and loss of property, anti-intermarriage—which is all the blackest pieces of legislation, since that it leaves our women of the mercy of white brutes, separate from the cars, and even legislating to exclude further Negro immigration. These are the evils resulting from "non-resistance" and "rather be by ourself." That with the same degree of resistance, legislation with which our property is confiscated, with this same effort and legislation will our political and manhood rights be taken from us. That is a fact. Every congress of fere legislation degrading and infiltrating being. Race prejudice, therefore, can be by attrition. We must send our children, and go ourselves, to mixed institutions and other places where we can mix with the other races and consequently become accustomed to the prejudice. WE MUST WELCOME AND PRACTICE JUXTAPOSITION. (Gerald Stanley Lee in Mount Tom). I am a human being.

(From the Eagle, Washington, D. C.) No, the colored delegates to the M. E. General Conference, held at Saratoga, to "walk out."

Murrell and wife and all persons who have joined the church this year. A very pleasant time is expected and the public in general is cordially invited to come and enjoy the occasion. PILGRIM BAP'ST CHURCH ACQUIRES NEW CHURCH PROP ERTY BY EFFORTS OF CHRIS. TIAN WORKERS. Considering the Strenuous War Times and the High Cost of Living, This is a Financial Achievement Worthy of More Than Ordinary Consideration. On March 29, 1916, Rev. B. N. Murrell, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, recommended to the church the acquisition of some lots for a new church location. The following reasons were advanced for such a movement: 1. The present location has become inconvenient to the membership and the people generally. 2. The building as located was too large and difficult to maintain. 3. The present site has been included in plans for a state capitol approach and eventually we will have to vacate. After a thorough discussion the church adopted the recommendations and authorized the officers to proceed to carry them out. Before taking further action the officers of the church called in the pastors of the Baptist churches and a few prominent business men and laid before them our plans and asked their help through investigation this meeting heartily endorsed our action and promised their co-operation. This meeting and its results were reported to the church and the pastor was authorized to appoint a committee to make an investigation and select a desirable location. The committee after a thorough canvass found that the property on the corner of Central avenue and Grotto a church consisting of two lots and a small church with the most desirable to be found and was be secured for $2,000 cash, and reported these facts back to the church. [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. Pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, St. Paul. With a membership of about 200 and no monies on hand the proposition looked hopeless; we could not get the members out to buy it, and finally urged on by Rev Murrell, a meeting February 7, 1917, we passed a motion to buy the property with only fifteen members present. The owners allowed us to pay down $500 the balance to be paid September this $500 was raised as follows: Ladies' Association, $100; Social and Literary Society, $60; Sunday School, $100, and the balance of $40 by members advancing money on their dues. We now faced the problem of raising $1,775 in six months, $75 having been added as the cost of the church benches. On February 15 a meeting was held and an organization formed to raise this amount. Little was done at this time, however, as the church turned all its resources, spiritual and the promotion of the Union Revival be during the month of May, 1917. Emerson and we had great meetings and before we could organize the results and get the church in working order, our pastor, Rev. Murrell, announced that he had applied for a commission as chaplain, had been accepted into the officers' training camp, and been ordered to report June 5. Mr. Murrell offered to teach his resignation but the church leave of absence for and granted him leave of absence for and had been arranged to end the financial effort on June 24. Without a leader, however, very little was done and the results netted only $350. The situation at this time looked hopeless. Depending on different preachers to fill the pulpit each Sunday, we found it difficult to keep up interest enough to meet even current expenses. In this discouraging situation our minds turned to a beloved pastor who had served us in the past, and who had led us out of many financial difficulties—Rev. W. D. Carter, of Seattle, Wash. The mention of his name brought new hope and confidence and immediately entered into negotiation. With Carter to secure his services, notifying Rev. Murrell at Des Moines of our plans. Rev. Murrell wrote giving his hearty approval and expressing regret at his inability to assist further than to report $100 promised him in case the whole amount was raised. On Sunday morning, September 9, Rev. W. D. Carter arrived in St. Paul, almost exhausted from a three days' stay at the National Baptist Convention and a 36-hour trip from Muscogee, Okla., part of which had to be made in a day coach. After a brief consultation with the officers he found he had to face the following conditions: $1,400 had to be raised by September 15, the owners having given an extension of time to that date. The forces of the church were not organized for work. The owners were greeting but unable to give and with war loans, Red Crown funds, Boy Scouts canvass and the "High Cost of Living" condition, it seemed an inopportune time to solicit the public. Rev. Carter praised a short but forceful sermon in which he predicted success, called upon the members to do their duty and set the example by putting down his name for $25. To our many obligations to Rev. Carter we must add credit for this splendid achievement and we hope to give some recognition in a financial way Sunday, September 23, the offerings on that date to be a free will contribution to him. We also wish to recognize the service of our pastor, Rev. B. N. Murrell, who, although unfortunately could not be with us during this effort. His influence in building up the confidence of the people of St. Paul both among our own people as well as the white people and the fact that he was engaged in the patriotic service of preparation for serving his country were strong factors in our success. We are indebted to the editor of this paper for the publication of this history of our achievement, who suggested that it should be printed as an inspiration for others to attempt to accomplish great things. In closing we wish to say that we trust and believe that God led us in this whole movement and we hope that this new location may be the center of Christian activity through all time. It is not the purpose of the church to abandon our present location at this time. We shall continue to worship in the old church until such time as it can be disposed of to advantage with religious services held occasionally in the new location. The Advisory Board.

PILGRIM BAP'ST CHURGH ACQUIRES NEW CHURCH PROPERTY BY EFFORTS OF CHRIS. TIAN WORKERS. Considering the Strenuous War Times and the High Cost of Living, This is a Financial Achievement Worthy of More Than Ordinary Consideration. On March 29, 1916, Rep. B. N. Murrell, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, recommended to the church the acquisition of some lots for a new church location. The following reasons were advanced for such a movement: 1. The present location has become inconvenient to the membership and the people generally. 2. The building as located was too large and difficult to maintain. 3. The present site has been included in plans for a state capitol approach and eventually we will have to vacate. After a thorough discussion the church adopted the recommendations and authorized the officers to proceed to carry them out. Before taking further action the officers of the church called in the pastors of the Baptist churches and a few prominent business men and laid before them our plans and asked their help through investigation this meeting heartily endorsed our action and promised their co-operation. This meeting and its results were reported to the church and the pastor was authorized to appoint a committee to make an investigation and select a desirable location. The committee after a thorough canvass found that the property on the corner of Central avenue and Grotto of two lots and a small church building was the most desirable to be found and could be secured for $2,000 cash, and reported these facts back to the church. [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. With a membership of about 200 and no monies on hand the proposition looked so hopeless we could not get the members out to even consider it, and finally urged on by Rev. Murrell at a meeting held February 7, 1917, we passed a motion to buy the property with only fifteen members present. The owners allowed us to pay down $300, the balance to be paid September 1, 1917. This $300 was raised as follows: Ladies' Aid Society, $100; Social and Literary Society, $60; Sunday School, $100, and the balance of $40 by members advancing money on their dues. We now faced the problem of raising $1,775 in six months, $75 having been added as the cost of the church benches. On February 15 a meeting was held and an organization formed to raise this amount. Little was done at this time, however, as the church possesses its resources, spiritual and financial, the promotion of the Union Revival began on the 15th of May, 1917. Emerging from these great meetings and before we could organize the results and get the church in working order, our pastor, Rev. Murrell, announced that he had applied for a commission as chaplain, had been accepted into the officers' training camp, and been ordered to report June 5.¹ Mr. Murrell offered to tender his resignation but the church used to receive it and granted him leave of absence for two months. It had been arranged to end a special effort on June 24. Without a leader, however, very little was done and the networks netted only $350. The situation at this time looked hopeless. Depending on different preachers to fill the pulpit each Sunday, we found it difficult to keep up interest enough to meet even current expenses. In this discouraging situation our minds turned to a beloved pastor who had served us in the past, and who had led us out of many financial difficulties—Rev. W. D. Carter, of Seattle, Wash. The mention of his name brought new hope and confidence and the presence of the church immediately entered into negotiation with Carter to secure his services, notifying Rev. Murrell at Des Moines of our plans. Rev. Murrell wrote giving his hearty approval and expressing regret at his inability to assist further than to report $100 promised him in case the whole amount was raised. On Sunday morning, September 9, Rev. W. D. Carter arrived in St. Paul, almost exhausted from a three days' stay at the National Baptist Convention and a 36-hour trip from Muscogee, Okla., part of which had to be made in a day coach. After a brief consultation with the officers he found he had to face the following conditions: $1,400 had to be raised by September 15, the owners having given an extension of time to that date. The forces of the church were not organized for work. The owners willing but unable to give and with little funds, Boy Scouts canvass and the "High Cost of Living" condition, it seemed an inopportune time to solicit the public. Rev. Carter preached a short but forceful sermon in which he predicted success,-called upon the members to do their duty and set the example by putting down his name for $25. Cheered by his optimistic view and spurred by his liberality, in five days the church accomplished the following results: Pledged and paid by the members and congregation ..... $602.50 Organized workers secured from business men and Baptist friends ..... 865.55 Received from Ladies' Aid Society ..... 25.00 Received from Social and Literary Society ..... 22.00 Total ..... $1,515.05 This with the amounts already raised, $650, more than covered our obligation and the money has been paid and the deed turned over and filed, adding at a conservative figure $2,000 to the church property owned by the colored churches of St. Paul. Under present conditions we feel that this was a remarkable effort and we wish to thank the public who so generously lent us their aid, especially our sister churches. To our many obligations to Rev. Carter we must add credit for this splendid achievement and we hope to give some recognition in a financial way Sunday, September 23, the offerings on that date to be a free will contribution to him. We also wish to recognize the service of our pastor, Rev. B. N. Murrell, who, although unfortunately could not be with us during this effort. His influence in building up the confidence of the people of St. Paul both among our own people as well as the white people and the fact that he was engaged in the patriotic service of preparation for serving his country were strong factors in our success. We are indebted to the editor of this paper for the publication of this history of our achievement, who suggested that it should be printed as an inspiration for others to attempt to accomplish great things. In closing we wish to say that we trust and believe that God led us in this whole movement and we hope that this new location may be the center of Christian activity through all time. It is not the purpose of the church to abandon our present location at this time. We shall continue to worship in the old church until such time as it can be disposed of to advantage with religious services held occasionally in the new location. The Advisory Board.

EVERY PERSON who receives THE APPEAL is expected to pay for it. THE APPEAL isolation of honesty, honor and law does so. THIS APPLIES TO EVERY ONE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Are you, reader, honest, honorable and law-abiding? Think about it. There is no law to compel any one to receive a newspaper who does not wish to do so, but there is a law that compels one to pay for a newspaper if it is received. There are many persons who receive THE APPEAL as regularly as it is issued, but who have failed to pay it and think about it. Don't stop, but kindly ask about it, either, but kindly come or send to the office and pay what you honestly, honorably, legally owe. There is not one single subscriber on our list who is ACTUALLY UNABLE to pay for the paper if the desire to do so is strong enough. There is no desire or intention to offend any one, but if this article is marked with a blue pencil it is to refute that YOU owe for THE APPEAL. Please come or send to the office, Court Block, 24 E. 4th street, suite 301-302, third floor, and pay what you owe. Take elevator. Few readers of newspapers fully and clearly understand the law governing subscriptions. Below are the decisions of the United States Supreme Court upon the subject: Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary when subscription are considered as wishing to renew a subscription. If subscribers order a discontinuance of their periodicals the publisher may continue to send them until all dues are paid. If the subscriber continues to take the periodical from the postoffice to which it is directed, or receives it from the carrier, he is responsible until he has settled his bill and ordered the paper discontinued. If the subscriber moves to other places with the informing the publisher and the papers are sent to the former address the subscriber is held responsible. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, and the subscriber will be responsible until express notice with payment of all arrearances is made. THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE. Of the Chicago District of the A. M. E. Church the Leading Event. in St. Paul This Week. For many weeks the coming of the 35th session of the Annual Chicago Conference of the A. M. E. Church has filled a place in the minds of many people of the Twin Cities generally and the St. James Church in particular. This Conference is composed of about one hundred and fifty delegates from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and South Dakota and is presided over by Bishop L. J. Coppin of Philadelphia. He is the presiding officer of the Fourth Episcopal District of the A. M. E. Church, which includes this Conference. Under the leadership of Rev. J. M. Hensley, the efficient pastor of the church, plans were put into operation that resulted in very satisfactory entertainment of the members of the august body. The delegates began to arrive Tuesday, many coming on the special from Chicago, and thanks to the excellent arrangements made, the people were ready to receive and care for them. The delegates were distributed in the homes of the people all over the city. St. James Church, through the effort of the congregation, chose of the church, had been put in excellent order for the reception of its guests and with the various improvements presented a spick and span appearance that pleased both hosts, hostesses and guests greatly. The sessions of the Conference began at 9:00 a.m. Wednesday, followed by the annual sermon of the Bishop and the routine business necessary to start the work for which they were here. The Sunday evening a. public reception was held at the church and it was packed to overflowing. Rev. J. M. Henderson acting as master of ceremonies. A very delightful program was furnished including: Invocation, Rev. Jas, Higgins, address of welcome on the part of Minnesota, Hon. J. H. Jones, Commissioner of Immigration, representing Governor Burnquist, who wrote the poem "Welcome to St. Paul," A. J. Carey, Chicago; solo, Mrs. Lilian Lewis; welcome on behalf of St. Paul, Mayor V. R. Irvin; response, Dr. J. Frank McDonald, Kansas City; solo, Mrs. J. H. Grey; welcome on behalf of citizens of St. Paul, W. T. Francis, Esq; response, Rev. Timothy Reeves, response, Dr. J. Frank McDonald; welcome on behalf of churches, Rev. G. A. Camp; response, Dr. W. D. Cook, Chicago; solo, Mrs. Eleanora Smith; welcome on behalf of St. James, Mr. Orrington Clifford Hall; response, Rev. J. D. Woods, Milwaukee. A special patriotic song composed by H. Williams of Duluth commended by Mr. C. H. Miller and sang by Mr. C. H. Miller and Rev. G. Holt, the orchestra led by Prof. Williams furnishing the music. The program closed with the singing of "America" by the audience, after which refreshments were served in the assembly room and a general exchange of friendly greetings was had. No adequate description of the addresses can be given but suffice it to say, they were given of purest rays serene, and could only be enjoyed properly by hearing them. A feature of Conference week has been the feeding of the delegates and visitors, which has been very satisfactorily done by the auxiliary bodies of the church as follows: Wednesday by the Deaconesses' Board, Mrs. Geraldine White, chairman; Thursday, by the One More Effort Club, Mrs. Ella B. Adams; president; Friday, by the King's Daughters' Charity Club, Mrs. Geraldine White; Thursday, by the Excelsior Club, Mrs. Bette Doyle; president, tomorrow, by the Stewartess' Board, Mrs. Cynthia Morgan, chairman. The ladies and their gentlemen assistants accomplished wonders in the gastronomic offerings that tickled the palates of these connoisseurs of culinary art and they were loud in their praise. Delegates and visitors to the District: Conference are guests of our citizenry. News Bishop L. J. Coppin, wife and daughter—Mrs. T. H. Lyles, 678 St. Anthony Ave. Rev. J. P.
