THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT THE FASHION OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY Madame Anita Patti Brown OF CHICAGO, ILL. The World's Celebrated Soprano Singer TWELTH YEAR Madame Anita OF CHICA The World's Celebration Colored Voters Should Vote For The Man And Not The Party A Pointed Letter On The Political Situation of the Day Wichita, Kansas, Sept. 27, 1910. Hon. W. N. Miller. Dear Sir: I have carefully read your article of September 24, subject, "Colored Man—Republican Party." While I cannot agree fully with your article, I must, in fairness to you, compliment you upon its force, diction and sincerity. Without flattery I admit that your article of September 24 was one of the best "Republican" articles I have ever read. I am a republican and believe in republican principles—such as those which gave birth to the Republican party—the principles of Lincoln, Grant and McKinley. The so-called Republican party of today, so far as the negro is concerned, has not those principles. In "bleeding" Kansas, the home of that sacred martyr, John Brown, whose "soul goes marching on," the Republican party of today has shoved the negro aside, in Sedgwick county, what hope does the present day Republicans hold out to the negro voters? What act of the Republican party of this county would commend itself to and appeal to the negro voters for their suffrage? ```markdown ``` There is none! The Republican party of this county, so far as the negro is concerned, is rotten to the core; and there is no more reason why the negroes of this county should vote for the Republican ticket and its nominees any more than there is that they should vote for the Democrats. What recognition has the present Republican officeholders shown the negroes of this county more than has the present Democratic officeholders? I believe in fair play. In your article you very carefully say, "We do not say the negroes should never leave the Republican party, but we do say this: Until they find a political party that will do "more for them" and accord them "better treatment" they should stay where they are now." How can the negroes of this state or county expect any other political party to do "more for them" or accord them "better treatment" if the negroes continue with the Republican party that is only making empty promises? This is evident—no political party can do "less" for the negro than is the Republican party. Take yourself for an instance: For several years you have for 365 days out of each year espoused and defended the cause of the present day Republicans, yet what recognition, what marks of appreciation has the Republicans as a party or as men, shown to you? And what is true in your individual case, is also COMING TO WICHITA The Greatest Coloratura Soprano Soloist now traveling amongst the Negro race. In addition to this natural gift, she has had several years of the best training under competent teachers at The Chicago Musical College. Hear what F. Ziegfeld, President of the Chicago Musical College says of her. "Mme Anita Patti Brown has a fine Soprano Voice and sings with great taste and should find no difficulty in obtaining Concert engagements." Be sure and hear this wonderful song-bird in A RECITAL, assisted by our own excellent home talent at GARFIELD HALL, WEDNESDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER 19TH. 1910 Buy your ticket early so you can get a good seat and avoid the big rush at the doors true as to the race. Then again, what specialty is there to the Republican nominees to give them such special right to the negro vote? I submit that most of the men on the Republican ticket—as on the Democratic and other tickets—are gentlemen of the first type—but I also say that this is not the time for the negroes of this community to vote for any man for high office whose past reputation for sobriety can in any wise be questioned whether that man be a nominee on the Republican or any other ticket. In this the negroes should avoid a very dangerous pitfall. Let any man who will take the time visit the county building and make a leisurely stroll from office to office and from the standpoint of the presence of a negro in any of these offices one cannot tell the offices held by Democrats from those held by professed Republicans. Then wherein is the difference? What and why is the negro voting continuously with and for the Republicans who show them from year to year that they are only needed during campaign time? No political party can do less for them than the Republican aprty is doing. While I am not a Democrat, why should I vote for the Republicans? If the negro is good enough to vote with and for these Republicans and help get them into office—fairness would say that they are good enough to draw with those Republicans the fruits of the victory. While I am sure, Mr. Editor, that you are sincere in your article, yet I believe there is ample reason why the negroes should not vote as a whole with and for the Republicans this year. Let us try some one else once. Now, Mr. Editor, I realize that it costs money to publish your paper, and to publish this article and I enclose three dollars (one $2 bill and one $1 bill) to pay for same, trusting to you that should you not publish this article to return the money to me. Trusting you will publish this letter in full, I remain sincerely, DAVID G. HOWARD. N. B.—I will send you another article later. WEIR, KANSAS.

Good night! --- Archer's Engagement By CLARISSA MACKIE Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press Bert Desmond's hand came down on Archer's shoulder with a resounding slap. "Congratulate you, old man," he exclaimed, heartily. "Thanks," said the other, with an amused smile; "but what's all this row about, anyway?" "Your engagement, of course! Blake has told me. She's the—" "Blake's a silly old chatterbox. I'm not going to marry anybody—you might congratulate me on that fact," interrupted Archer. "Funny, isn't it," mused Desmond, perplexedly. "Blake told me plain as could be that Archer was engaged to marry—" Archer interrupted this time with a laugh. "Oh, it must have beey my cousin, Tom Archer! Go and congratulate him, Bert—you can't make a mistake; he's always engaged to somebody. Going down to the club house? No? Very well, so long." Bob Archer went grinning on his way down to the yacht club while Desmond pursued a soitary walk along the board walk that led to the big hotel. A girl seated in an automobile near by looked toward the shop before which she was waiting with a bored air. Through the folds of the white veil that swathed her face the color in her cheeks burned like a stain. Her hands were firmly clinched in her lap and her whole attitude betrayed restrained impatience. Helen Dale had heard every word of the conversation between the two men. She knew that she was the girl who had been reported engaged to Tom Archer, but to hear her name linked with Bob Archer's had brought her such a pang of exquisite pain that she stood self-revealed on the instant. So that was the reason she could not fall in love with the dozen men who had succumbed to her beauty and charm! She had claimed for herself coldness, aloofness, indifference to all men—and it was merely because she had given her heart, unasked, into the keeping of Bob Archer. It was well known that Bob Archer did not care for women. Yachting, tennis and golf and his office satisfied all his cravings. He lived at a club and his vacations were spent in the open, wherever there was good healthy outdoor sport. Helen's tastes were the same, but Archer's companions were mostly men and she had met him seldom, then when he had made one of his infrequent appearances in the ballroom. And Helen had fallen in love with him, unsought, undesired. A very agony of shame came upon her, but through it glowed a fierce joy that he had declared himself a confirmed bachelor. If he did not care for her there was nobody else. Then it was that Helen Dale's flirtation with Tom Archer came to an abrupt end. A few days afterward Helen was swimming far out beyond the float that marked the limit of safe bathing. She was an expert swimmer and rejoiced in the cold salt water, the warmth of the sun on her uplifted face and the soft resistance of the waves against her strength. Slender, graceful and muscular, she made a pretty sight, her white arms gleaming like marble against the blue sea, her crown of bronze-tinted hair shining in the sunlight. Her eyes were fixed on a distant buoy she had marked for a turning point. She did not see a man's form dive downward from a handsome yacht nearby, nor see his long strokes toward the same goal she was striving for. Helen was almost upon him when her attention was attracted by a low shout of distress, his brown arm shot upward and he sank before her eyes. It was not until Helen had reached the spot and grasped him firmly by his thick hair that she recognized Bob Archer. In that moment of suspense she forgot her tenderness for him, everything save the fact that he was a human being and that his life was in danger. The cramp that had selzed him had left him only half conscious. His eyes were closed and he did not struggle. Before she could cry for assistance she had been observed from the yacht and a boat was hastily lowered and came to her rescue. She was entirely exhausted with the hard pull. Archer was a heavy man and he had been a dead weight in the one hand she could spare. Inside the launch she fainted and only revived when a distracted sailor dashed stinging salt water in her face and eyes. Then she sat up and looked anxiously at the inanimate form in the bottom of the boat. "Is he—?" she asked, fearfully. "I think he'll be all right, miss," said the coxswain reassuringly, "He --- Good Night. -S. Weir Mitchell. must have been took with a cramp, for ordinarily Mr. Archer is a fine swimmer." Tears of thankfulness forced themselves to Helen's eyes and she made no reply. Once on board the yacht she declined the captain's urgent offers of hospitality. She did accept one of Archer's heavy ulsters and slipped it on. When she was assured that he was recovering and would soon be up and around, she asked to be taken ashore. The next morning she left the hotel with her mother and returned to her home in the city. Helen Dale knew that Bob Archer must seek her out and express his gratitude for what she had done; that she might not meet him again she had fled. Bob Archer awoke to a rather unpleasant realization the morning after the rescue. He who had always been independent of women was indebted to one for his life. He blushed to recollect that a girl had come to his rescue and he cursed his own weakness in succumbing to a mere cramp. But he set forth to the hotel, immaculate in white duck from top to toe, in his heart grateful to the plucky girl who had saved his life. He recalled Helen Dale as one of many other girls whom he had avoided as mere butterflies. When he inquired for Miss Dale at the office the clerk informed him of her departure. There was no doubt in his mind that she had gone to escape his thanks. Well, she was the right sort-some girls would have been glad of the opportunity to play the heroine. New York was not far distant, and in the evening of the same day, he presented himself at the Dale house. So unexpected was his coming that Helen was taken by surprise. She came down to find him in conversation with her mother. "I resolved you should not escape," he said, holding her hand in a warm friendly clasp. "I wonder if you know just how plucky you were yesterday!" "It was mere chance," evaded Helen, coloring. "Any one else would have done it. It was easy, too, for your boat came quickly to the rescue." "Nevertheless, if it had not been for you I would have lost my life," insister Archer. He remained for the evening, and was surprised at his own pleasure in the occasion. A day or two afterward he came again and took them for a spin in his new motor car. Then he came again and again. He did not return to Seaside, but his yacht received sailing orders and proceeded to the city, where she lay at his disposal. When the first crisp autumn winds were blowing Bob Archer awoke to the fact that he could not live happily without Helen Dale for his wife. What an ideal companion she would make—their tastes were similar and their love of the out-of-doors amounted almost to a mania. A honeymoon spent on his yacht— He clapped on his hat and made his way to the Dale house. Helen was alone in the library, when he arrived, and he sat beside her in the dim firelit room and told his story. But in spite of the great joy in her eyes she shook her head. "I know how you feel, Mr. Archer. It is natural that you should mistake gratitude for love, and that you should offer me the life I saved, but—" Something in the nicker of emotion that crossed her face brought him close beside her. "Helen, look at me!" he commanded, taking her hands in his. Slowly she turned until her eyes met his. "What do you see there, darling—gratitude or love?" he asked, softly. Her glance fell before his gaze, and for the first time since her heart had gone out of her keeping she was radiantly happy. "Love," she whispered, softly, and then: "I'm so glad I had the chance to save your life. We might never have known each other, Bob." She Could. But Wouldn't. Miss Johnson, an American girl, fair and twenty-five, was traveling in Germany with an elderly friend. One day in Berlin the two ladies had boarded a sight-seeing car and were just comfortably seated when an Englishman of a pronounced sporting type got in and sat down beside the young lady. After staring at her in silence for some time he inquired, insinuatingly: "Do you speak English, miss?" "Yes," replied Miss Johnston, without turning her head, "I do, but I don't care to." And Sidetracks Them. "Miss Flirty certainly attracts the men." "Yes, and then she distracts them." SCIENCE AND INVENTION Phonographic Attachment Produces Perfect Tones by Ingenious Device of Wisconsin Man. Another phonographic attachment and one that is more ingenious than most, is that devised by a Wisconsin man and shown in this illustration. It consists of so arranging a violin on top of the other instrument to produce perfect violin tones from the phonograph record. An arm projecting from the phonograph box holds the neck of the fiddle, which rests face downward over the record. The neck is pivoted on this rest so that the fiddle can turn about. Clamping forks engage the bridge of the violin and a stylus is secured to the bridge. When the record revolves the stylus communicates the notes through the horn, and, as may be imagined, the tone is vastly more realistic than when produced by the Plays Through Violin old method. In fact, the violin notes thus produced are almost perfect, as they may well be when it is remembered that they emanate from the same sounding board as when a bow is drawn across the strings. SIMPLICITY IN CAN OPENER Substantial Household Utenail Invented by Detroit Man Used Without Fear of Cutting. Every housewife would undoubtedly welcome the invention of a really simple and substantial can opener, one that she could operate without danger of cutting her hands. Simplicity and efficiency seem to be the keynote of the one shown in the illustration below, designed and invented by a Detroit man. In opening a can the point at the end is thrust into the central portion of the top of the can and the Cuts Top or Side of Can. bar brought so that it lies parallel with the top of the can. The cutter is then regulated on the toothed bar so that it will cut either the top of the can or the side. With a firm pull on the handle the tin can be easily severed. It will be noticed that there are practically two cutters, one for cutting the top of the can and another for cutting the side of the can. This will be found convenient when it is desired to remove the contents without disarranging them. UMBRELLA IN YOUR POCKET Twenty-Six Inch Screen Invented by Minneapolis Man Easily Folded Up and Carried. A 26 inch umbrella that will fold up and go in an inside pocket without crowding has been invented and constructed by a Minneapolis man. This seems almost incredible. The handle and all the ribs consist of fine steel tubes, in sections, which telescope one inside the other. The covering is of silk, which takes up but little room. The wooden handle of the umbrella is hollow and receives all the rest of the telescoping umbrella rod when shut up. A small light case is provided to contain the whole, which, as stated, goes easily into the pocket. If such a device can be made and sold for a reasonable price there is little doubt that the inventor will make a fortune. England's Radium Deposit. England's only radium deposit, the Trentwith mine in Cornwall, has produced its first little output, about one twentieth of an ounce, which is worth $150,000. The Austrian company which has a corner on radium has made arrangements to secure the product of the mine. PNEUMATIC HEEL FOR SHOES Invention of New York Man Makes Expression "Walking on Air" an Actual Fact. The expression "walking on air," hitherto used metaphorically, has now a real meaning. A New York man has invented a pneumatic heel for shoes by means of which the wearer of the shoes will actually walk on air. The Gives Resiliency to Step. expression has been used to signify a mental buoyancy; it will now indicate a condition of physical resiliency guaranteed by the inventor to be quite as uplifting and even better for the health. The leather heel of the shoe has a circular opening into which fits a conical metal body open at the bottom, thus leaving an air space around the apex of the cone. Across the bottom of the cone is an elastic rubber heel piece and on this a leather treadpiece, thus leaving an air space inside the cone. These two pneumatic chambers act as cushions and give a resiliency to the step that is not achieved by the ordinary rubber heel, besides relieving all jar on the spine and making walking easy and comfortable. WARN BY ARTIFICIAL VOICE Lighthouses Along French Coast Have Wonderful Resemblance to Human Beings. Ships that pass the danger spots off the French coast will now be guided aright by the lighthouse bearing a wonderful resemblance to human beings. The new lighthouse, which is the invention of Dr. Marague, a Parisian ear specialist, is an exact imitation of the human throat and mouth, with an air pump for lungs. Teeth, lips, jaw bones and all are imitated exactly, while a monster mouth and a compressed air device will enable it to shout in tones of thunder to ships on the horizon. Dr. Marague's small models, hardly appreciably larger than the normal human mouth, can be made to utter a faint wusper, or give vent to an ear-splitting cry, not possible for man to make. With a mouth six feet from corner to corner it is estimated that the artificial voice could be understood from three to six miles away, according to weather conditions. NOTES OF SCIENCE. The Portuguese navy has 5,000 men. In London, in 1907, 1,449 bachelors married widows. England's first Sunday newspaper appeared in 1780. Seven years ago there were 2,000 students in China, and in 1907 there were 175,352. Nearly 200,000,000 people in India are dependent on agriculture for their living. Oen of the tricks of the fur trade is to insert white hairs in foxes and sables to make "silver foxes." The Koh-i-noor diamond originally welged 800 karats, but by successive cuttings has been reduced to 106 karats. A discarded automobile tire makes a good life preserver. Its buoyancy is sufficient to keep several persons afloat. The largest delegation of foreign students attending American colleges last year was sent by Canada, 242. Of the world's stock of money $7,000,000,000 is gold, $3,500,000,000 silver and $4,333,000,000 uncovered paper. Among the peoples of the earth, except those of Australasia, the Americans are the most liberal meat eaters. Slam exports about a million tons of rice a year, breaking the record last year with 1,028,671 tons. A miniature anemometer, mounted at the nozzle of a funnel shaped instrument, has been invented to measure the amount of air leaking through crevices in buildings. Latin-American countries and the orient were the chief contributors to the $100,000,000 worth of hides and skins imported by the United States last year. Within a little more than a century the United States has produced one-fourth of the entire world's production of gold in the last four centuries. A substantial endowment having been secured for it, the world's first radium institute will be opened at Heidelberg, Germany, before the end of the year. Great Britain granted 28,958 patents last year, 420 less than in 1907. Of the total 1,450 were granted to residents of other countries, and 572 to women. A time saver for places where many tickets are sold in a short time is a machine which automatically prints tickets and stamps the hour on them as they are drawn from a roll of cardboard. It is the invention of two Chicago men. PRODUCED AT HOME PRODUCED AT HOME NECESSITIES THAT CAN BE MADE IN THE HOUSE. Baking Powder Is Made of Bicarbonate of Soda, Cream of Tartar and Corn Starch—Recipes for Pol- The housekeeper who objects to commercial baking powder can easily make her own. Get one-half pound' of the best bicarbonate of soda, one pound of cream of tartar and one-half pound of the best corn starch. Mix thoroughly, sift three times and put up in small covered tins that. This is the purest baking powder that can be made. A homemade tooth powder is made of seven ounces of precipitated chalk, three ounces of bicarbonate of soda, two ounces of powdered castile soap and 30 drops each of oils of wintergreen and sassafras. Sift all together and keep in a glass preserving jar. This powder is both cleansing and hardening to the enamel of the teeth. A polish for stained wood floors is made of eight ounces of yellow beeswax, two quarts of spirits of turpentine and one quart of Venetian turpentine. Cut the wax in small bits and pour the spirits over it. When dissolved, as will soon happen, bottle. Dust the floors well before using the polish and apply it with a soft cloth. An excellent hard soap for the laundry is composed of these things: Flye pounds of clean grease, one can of potash, one heaping tablespoonful of borax, two tablespoonfuls of ammonia and one quart and a cup of cold water. Dissolve the potash in the water, then add the borax and ammonia, and slowly stir in the grease, melted and lukewarm, and continue stirring until the mess thickens; then pour it into a pan to harden, and when firm enough cut it into cakes. Grease which is unfit for frying can be used for this soap, but it must be strained carefully to get out all particles of food. The brownness of old grease is no objection, for the soap is white when made. It must be kept a month before using. Old-Time Sponge Cake. This is my great-grandmother's recipe for old-time sponge cake, and it is most delicious of all, if made with care and attention to the important features, writes Mrs. May Peltnter in the National Magazine. Weigh any number of eggs (four will make a good-sized cake), take their weight in their shells of granulated sugar, and half their weight in sifted flour, the grated rind and juice of one lemon. Beat the yolks until very light colored and like thick cream, then add the sugar and the mixture, again beaten very light. The lemon juice and rind should be added and then the flour, which must be sifted until very light and full of air. The whipped whites should be folded in with the greatest of care. Have the heat of the oven moderate at first, increasing it gradually after the cake is well risen. Green Corn Fritters. Green corn fritters are one of the delectable dainties of this season. Use either cold boiled or uncooked corn, grating it from the ears and making it into an ordinary griddle-cake batter. Fry on a griddle and serve very hot. One recipe calls for two cupfuls of grated corn, half a cupful of milk, a tablespoonful of flour, an egg, a little salt and a teaspoonful of baking powder. The egg may be omitted and another tablespoonful of flour used. More milk or water may be used if the batter is too stiff. Knives come for removing the kernels from cobs. But if there is not such a knife on hand score each row of kernels lengthwise with a sharp-pointed knife and then cut them from the cob and scrape out the milk with the back of a knife. Chartreuse of Jelly. Cut the center of a round sponge cake, leaving the bottom and sides thick enough to hold one part of jelly. Prepare a lemon, orange, strawberry or coffee jelly. When it is cold, just ready to form, turn into the cake and set aside to cool. When ready to serve cover with whipped cream, sweetened and flavored. Do not add whites of eggs to gelatin when beginning to harden. Let cool. When ready to serve, pour custard around the gelatine. Lemon jelly, with whites of two eggs added is very nice. Cottage Pudding. One cup sugar, two eggs, two cups cream, one pint flour, $1 \frac{1}{2}$ teaspoons baking powder. Beat the eggs and sugar together; add cream, flour with the powder sifted in and a pinch of salt; mix into smooth batter as for cup cakes; put into long, narrow or oval buttered mold, bake in hot oven 30 minutes; serve with liquid or foaming sauce. Water Pound Cake. One cup sugar, one-half cup of butter, one-half cup cold water, $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups flour, scant level teaspoon cream of tartar, scant half teaspoon saleratus, two eggs. Cream butter and sugar, add yolks, then water, flour, with cream of tartar and soda, and lastly the whites of eggs, beaten stiff. Fried Bell Peppers. Slice peppers lengthwise, put in frying pan, cover with water and boll until tender, drain off water and fry in lard. Delicious on steak or any meat. Puzzled by Wireless "Mistah Jenkins," asked an old negro of Atlanta of his employer, "would yo' be so good, sah, as to explain to me 'bout this wireless telegraph business I hears 'em-a-talking 'bout?" "Why, certainly, Henry," responded the employer, "though I can do so only in a general way, as I myself know little of the subject. The thing consists in sending messages through the air instead of over wires." "Yassah," said Henry, "I knows 'bout dat; but, sah, what beats me is how dey fasten the air to the poles?" Not on Your Life An Irishman obtained a position in a skyscraper that was being built. He had to carry mortar up to the top floor. One day he went up and couldn't find his way down. The boss missed him and called up to him: "Pat," said the boss, "why don't you come down?" "I don't know the way," said Pat. "Well, come down the way you went up." "Faith, and I won't," said Pat, "for I came up head first." Increase of Commerce The commerce of the port of New York has had a growth of 62 per cent, in the last ten years.

Saratoga, New York.—The destinies of the Republican party in New York state changed hands when, after the bitterest verbal battle ever fought out on a convention floor, Theodore Roosevelt won the crucial point in the fight by defeating Vice-President Sherman, the candidate of the old guard for the temporary chairmanship, by a vote of: Roosevelt 567 Sherman 445. The battle was not won until terrific blows were given and received by both sides. Probably the hardest arrangement that the ex-president had ever received came from Abraham Gruber, a New York City district leader, who seconded the nomination of Mr. Sherman. Col. Roosevelt stood with head erect and shoulders thrown back as he surveyed the madly cheering delegates who had helped him beat the machine and the forlorn delegates of the old guard were heart-sick. He tapped the table before him with his fingers as the glint of victory shone in his flushed face. His jaws were firmly set. He had overwhelmed his opponents. Now he was to make his revenge more complete by trying to run the "bosses" out of the party. "There is no need for any other party to raise the cry 'Turn the rascals out' for we have turned our own rascals out," was the colonel's way of defining the victory he had achieved over the machine. Mr. Roosevelt made a strong point for the direct primary issue, saying that he stood for a law that would make it possible for the people to determine who their candidate should be, instead of having candidates forced upon them. The primary issue together with his attack upon bosses, formed the keynote of his speech. Gov. Stubbs Has Released on Parole From the Penitentiary Slayer of Mrs. Castle. Leavenworth, Kansas.—Jessie Lee Morrison, who ten years ago was convicted of the murder of Mrs. Clara Castle in El Dorado, Kan., is free. It was not until late in the afternoon that Jessie Morrison heard of her coming happiness. Gov. Stubbs had telephoned the prison that the parole papers were to be delivered to her. Warden Codding was not at the penitentiary at the time. The papers had been in the warden's safe several days, awaiting the governor's release. Mrs. Codding took the papers. Accompanied by Mrs. Elizabeth Robertson of Topeka and Mrs. Simpson the matron notified Miss Morrison of her release. 一 Topeka, Kansas.—Jessie Morrison was paroled because Gov. Stubbs, after carefully studying the case since long before he became governor, had concluded that the third trial was not absolutely free from prejudice. FEWER ACCIDENTAL DEATHS Mortality Statistics Show a Decline Also in the Number of Suicides in 1909. Washington, D. C.—Exclusive of suicide there were 47,135 deaths from external or violent causes in the United States reported for the census registration area for 1900, according to the annual bulletin on mortality statistics for that period issued by the census bureau. In this report it is shown that the death rate declined from 97.9 to 96.7 per 100,000 estimate population. In the matter of accidental deaths, railroads had the largest number of fatalities to their credit, 6,659 deaths being accredited to this cause. The number of deaths from suicide was 2,544, a decrease of 149 compared with the preceding year. Chancellor Strong Against Football.

If I can't get sunburned a little more evenly I simply can't come out this Fall! (CHICAGO EVENING POST) RAILROADS EARNING MORE THE TOTAL GROSS INCOME INCREASED $336,000,000. While the Net Operating Revenues Was $110,306,000 Greater Than the Previous Year. Chicago, Illinois.—An increase of $336,000,000 in the total gross earnings of the railroads of the United States in the year ending June 30, 1910, over those of the preceding year is shown by figures received from Washington by the Interstate Commerce commissioners, holding court here to ascertain whether an increase in freight rates is to be permitted. Total gross earnings of all the railroads, embracing 236,690 miles, in the last fiscal year were $2,799,250,000, an increase of 12.7 per cent. Total net operating revenue of all the roads last year was $938.....000 showing an increase of $110,306,000, or 13.3 per cent. It is said that the Interstate Commerce commission never was able to get total figures compiled so quickly after the close of the fiscal year as they have expedited the tabulations so as to use the figures in connection with the present hearing on freight rates. NO MONEY SHORTAGE NOW The Banks Have Fortified Themselves and the Crops are Proving to be Abundant. Washington, D. C.—It is unlikely that there will be any shortage of money this fall anywhere in the United States, according to the view of the treasury department. In its opinion the danger mark, if there actually has been one several months past, has been left astern. The department officials give these reasons for the prediction of plentiful money: Primarily the banks saw what looked like a money shortage coming several months ago. They have piled up gold, built up reserves and cut down risky loans and bonds or other securities, which might not be easy to sell have been turned into money. Nearly every crop in this country this year is reported to be a bumper one. Corn will set a new record. Four-fifths of the crop has been gathered, so the chances of loss from frost is small. The oat crop is the greatest in years. The cotton crop will be 1,000,000 bales greater than it was last year. EXTENDS THE CIVIL SERVICE Assistant Postmasters are to Come in and Congress May Include Second and Third Class Postmasters. Washington, D. C.—The first definite result of the present cabinet sessions in Washington was the announcement that President Taft will issue an executive order extending the civil service to include all assistant postmasters. The president also will recommend to congress that second and third class postmasters be placed under civil service. This action is in line with Postmaster General Hitchcock's recommendations. Some 8,000 assistant postmasters will be affected. Coroner's Jury Names Crippen London, England.—The coroner's jury returned a verdict of willful murder against Dr. Hawley H. Crippen in connection with the finding in the Crippen home last July of the multitated body supposed to be that of Crippen's wife, who was known on the stage as Belle Elmore. Commissioner Lane Returns. Washington, D. C.—Franklin K. Lane, interstate commerce commissioner, visited the president. Mr. Lane recently returned from Berne, where he attended the international railway congress. No Interest in School Contracts. Topeka, Kansas.—That members of a school board cannot become interested in school contracts is the substance of a decision handed down by the attorney general. TO SMASH THE SUGAR TRUST The American Sugar Refining Company Will be Charged With Violation of Anti-Trust Laws. Washington, D. C.—Orders from the attorney general to District Attorney Wise in New York to smash the sugar trust have gone out and the action will be filed there within a week. An amended and much shorter petition, though much more comprehensive in its charges has been prepared after a conference between the attorney general, District Attorney Wise, Special Attorney Stimson and Mr. McReynolds. It charges the sugar trust with violation of the Sherman anti-trust law and the court is asked to dissolve the trust and issue an injunction restraining the American Sugar Refining company of New Jersey from voting the shares of the subsidiary companies pending the redistribution of these shares among their original owners. The action will be in all respects similar to that which resulted in the smashing of the Standard Oil company in the United States circuit courts and in a general way it resembles the action against the tobacco trust. SHOULD RE-TAKE MINERAL LANDS Gifford Pinchot Believes Southern Pacific Has No Right to Vast Oil Fields. Los Angeles, Cal.-Gifford Pinchot, former chief forester of the United States threw a bombshell into the American Mining congress here when he submitted a report of his investigation in the California oil fields, in which he strongly urged the United States government to re-take the mineral lands in the oil fields which were granted years ago to the Southern Pacific railroad. These holdings of the Harriman railroads have been estimated by some to be worth more than the entire Harriman railroad system itself. A BLACKLIST LAW UPHELD Thomas Fitzmartin Awarded $10,000 Damages Against St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Co. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.—Oklahoma's new law for bidding the blacklisting of discharged employees by railroad companies was invoked to the benefit of the defendant when a jury awarded damages in the sum of $10,000 to Thomas Fitzmartin who was discharged from the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad in 1908. A Suit to Stop Bootlegging Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.—Fred S.

Coffeyville to Get Armory Coffeyville, Kansas—Coffeyville will get the first armory to be built under the new law providing for the building of armories in Kansas. The commissioners will call an election for the voting of $10,000. MR. TAFT IS WITH BALLINGER He Feels That a Conspiracy Has Been Formed to Persecute an Honest Official. Washington. D. C.—Secretary Ballinger's resignation was not presented at the first full cabinet meeting. What is more to the point, no resignation from the secretary is expected. Finally, if the secretary did not hand in his resignation based on the issues of the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy, President Taft would promptly refuse to accept it. The president stands flatly with his secretary of the interior. He believes that Ballinger has been maligned and persecuted by a combination that closely resembles a conspiracy; and if the view of the president is correctly interpreted by his friends, Mr. Taft proposes to show in this matter that it is not possible to hound an honest official from public office through a conspiracy deliberately formed for that purpose. TO BE A RECORD CATTLE SHOW The American Royal Will Have More Exhibits This Year Than Ever Before. Kansas City, Mo.-In the twelve years of its existence the American Royal Live Stock Show each year has shown increases in the quality and number of animals shown, and this year—the twelfth—some of the cattle classes have gained nearly 100 per cent over the showing made in the 1909 show. At the present the pure bred classes and those of fat stock have 1,100 animals entered. In every class the increase has kept up. This number does not include the feeder classes which will be shown in carlots and will augment the total by several thousand. More than 100 draft and coach horses have been entered. Many of the winners at the largest state fairs and several of the first prize winners at the world's fairs of St. Louis and Paris will be here. A NATIONAL CREDIT BUREAU The Government Plans to Protect National Banks of the Country From Borrowers. Washington, D. C.—In order to prevent corporations, firms and individuals from borrowing to the extent of their credit in their own cities then going elsewhere and doing the same. Comptroller Murray has decided upon the establishment of a central credit bureau in Washington in which will be recorded all such borrowings from national banks. The credit bureau will be located in the office of the comptroller. The necessity for its establishment arises from the fact that very often the local borrowings of institutions are to the extent of their ability to pay and if obligations of which the national bank examiners have no knowledge exist in other districts the effect is to impair the solvency of the national banks holding the paper. TREAT ALL CANDIDATES ALIKE Congressional Campaign Committee Makes no Distinction Between Insurgents and Regulars. Chicago, Illinois.—A decision to give insurgents as well as standpatters a square deal in the congressional campaign work for the elections throughout the country this fall has been reached by the Republican congressional campaign committee. In addition the action of the committee is interpreted in political circles as a renewed tender of the Olive branch to the insurgents—a sort of corollary to President Taft's recent ukase assuring insurgent congressmen and senators that they will get official consideration at the White house in the distribution of federal offices. LABOR QUESTIONS AT BALLOT BOX Railway Unions Vote to Place Their Own Interests Above Party Loyalty New York, N. Y.-For the first time in the history of railway unions members and delegates representing 308,000 men of the four great divisions of railway employees in the East voted unanimously at a meeting here to take concerted action in national and state politics. "The proper place to settle questions affecting labor is at the ballot box," said Warren S. Stone of Cleveland, O., grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locamotive Engineers. Whatever your political affiliations, do not let party lines blind you to your true interest or prevent you from doing what you think is best and right. Chaves Gets Half the Prize Milan, Italy.—The aviation committee which had supervision over the aerial flight across the Alps has awarded $10,000 half the amount of the prize to George Chaves, the Peruvian aviator who was injured after covering most dangerous part. Another Hurricane Coming. Washington, D. C.—Another West Indian hurricane is sweeping toward the North Atlantic from the tropics headed for the lanes of travel of the European steamship service. The KITCHEN CABINET The Problem of Left-Over Vegetables. Many housewives have numerous ways of serving left-over meats, but the vegetable is either thrown away or appears just as it was served the day before. Corn may be prepared as an escalloped dish or put into a potato or other vegetable salad to the advantage of the latter. A cupful will make sufficient corn oysters for four people. Add a tablespoonful of milk, a beaten egg, and flour with baking powder well sifted to make them hold together, then fry in hot fat. A small quantity of tomatoes may be added to a soup, a meat sauce or an escalloped dish of corn. Cold string beans make an excellent salad: Add a teaspoonful of chopped onion to a cupful of string beans with salt and pepper to taste. Cut a slice of bacon into dice and fry; pour the fat over the beans, then add a quarter of a cupful of hot vinegar, and serve. Cheese added to creamed string beans changes the dish to one quite new. A few peas may be added to the broth of a mutton stew and served with it, making a dish most palatable. Scalloped onions are especially nice prepared with cold boiled onions; flavor with cheese. A green pea omelet is a most delicious luncheon dish. Drain a cupful of cold cooked peas, mash and season. When the omelet is ready to serve spread the peas over one half and fold. Serve on a hot platter. Turnips and squash may be seasoned and baked. Cabbage is good treated as the string beans were, with hot bacon fat and vinegar. Celery is very nice cooked and served in a white sauce. Tomato toast is a nice way to serve a little left-over tomato: Take a cupful of boiling hot tomatoes, season with butter, salt and pepper. Stir in three well-beaten eggs and a half cupful of hot cream. Serve on buttered toast. Several vegetables together often makes a very acceptable dish; such as potatoes, a sprinkling of onions, a cupful of tomatoes and a few peas, with a little chopped roast beef. The dish is ready after a half-hour's baking, fit to set before the king. OW is the time; ah, friend, no longer walt To scatter loving smiles and words of cheer To those around whose lives are now so dear, They may not meet you in the coming Apples. Since Eve ate apples they have been a much prized fruit, and apple pie, apple pudding, apple dumplings, apples baked, fried, apple sauce, apple jelly and apple butter are good old standbys. Apple Trifle. Select tart apples, peel, cut them in half, removing the core; lay a slice of lemon in the center of each, pour a cupful of water over them, and steam until tender and clear. Take them out and set aside until perfectly cold. Lay a dozen split lady fingers or small sponge cakes in a glass dish, and moisten them with a little orange juice. Lay the apples on this, sprinkle thickly with powdered sugar, and heap over all a cupful of whipped, sweetened cream. Serve very cold. Apple and Rice Pudding. Peel small tart apples, core and put into a baking dish. Have ready a cupful of boiled rice, mix with two cupfuls of hot milk, into which has been beaten the yolks of three eggs and a half cupful of sugar. Stir into the rice a half cupful of blanched almonds cut into strips, a half cup of seeded raisins and a couple of dozen strips of citron. Pour this mixture over the apples, after having put a teaspoonful of sugar into each apple. Bake well, covered until tender, uncover and heap on them a meringue made of the whites of three eggs beaten stiff and two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar added, brown in the oven and serve either hot or cold. Parisian Apples. A dainty and attractive way of serving apples is to pare them and cut with a small potato cutter into balls. Put them at once over the fire and cook in water, sugar and a little lemon juice. When the balls are tender, before they lose their shape heap them on rounds of buttered toast which have been spread with apple jelly. Sprinkle with chopped almonds and heap over them the whites of two eggs beaten stiff and sweetened with two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and flavored with a teaspoonful of lemon juice. O LONG as we love we serve; so long as we are loved by others I would almost say that we are indispensable; and no man is use-less while he has a friend. -Robert L. Stevenson. Some Hot Weather Dishes. In these suiry days of summer the appetite needs new interest to awaken appreciation and new dishes are most welcome. Let nuts take the place of meats, as they will be found both satisfying and economical. Chilled fruits are the most wholesome of all desserts; but for those who care for more elaborate dishes, here are a few which will reward your efforts: Peaches En Surprise. Soften two tablespoonfuls of gelatine in half a cupful of cold water and dissolve in a cupful of hot cream. Add two-thirds of a cupful of powdered sugar and strain into a dish set in a pan of crushed ice; stir until it begins to congeal. Add a teaspoonful of orange extract, a few drops of saffron to give it a dainty yellow; pour into a pint of whipped cream and lightly fold the mixtures together. Line a large mould with strips of angel cake. Put a little of the cream mixture in the bottom of the mould and on each strip of cake to hold it in place. Have at hand some diced-ripe peaches generously sprinkled with sugar and lemon juice, fill the mould nearly full, then pour in the cream. Bury in ice and salt for three hours. The following will be a dessert that is at least uncommon: Creole orange cream with almonds in a double boiler, put two cupfuls of water, the juice of four oranges, the rind of two, and two cupfuls of sugar and the beaten yolks of ten eggs. Stir until the mixture thickens. Put into a freezer and stir until half frozen, then add the beaten whites of five eggs and one cupful of blanched shredded and browned almonds. Finish freezing, then stand packed for two hours. Creme de Menthe Sandwiches. These are a fine accompaniment for cold lamb. Steep two tablespoonfuls of mint leaves in a little cold water, straal nand add to a pint of whipped cream, season with salt and pepper and add half an ounce of gelatine softened in a tablespoonful of cold water. Cool in a square mold and when firm cut in thin slices and place between buttered slices of rye bread. HEN thou dost tell another's jest, therein Omit the oats, which true wit cannot need; Pick out of tales the mirth, but not the sin, He pares his apple that will cleanly feed. —George Herbert. Southern Ways of Serving Vegetables. The famous southern cooks, though not at all scientific in their cookery, knew how to prepare appetizing and attractive dishes. The following are some which have pleased the palate cl a northerner: Summer Squash Pudding. Boll young tender squash, drain and mash free from lumps. To a quart of the squash, add a culpful of rich milk, a tablespoonful of butter, three beaten eggs and salt and pepper to taste. Butter a deep dish, turn in the mixture and bake a rich brown. Another way of preparing this delectable vegetable that the southern cooks have is: Steam full grown squash until tender. Cool and slice carefully. Season with salt and pepper, pour over the slices a little beaten egg, sprinkle with crumbs and fry a light brown. Take up and prepare the other side in the same way, return to the par and brown. Serve very hot. Virginia Corn Pudding. Cut the corn from six large ears of corn. Add to this three well beaten eggs, half a cupful of meited butter, a tablespoonful of rice flour, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one of salt and a pint of new milk. Mix well, then cut and fold in the well-beaten whites of the eggs. Put into a baking dish and bake in a moderate oven until brown. A Creole Dish. Peel a half dozen ripe tomatoes, by pouring boiling water over them. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter in a frying pan over the fire; when very hot add the tomatoes and fry until brown on one side, sprinkle with salt and pepper and turn, cover with chopped and seasoned cold fowl or veal. Deviled Tomatoes. Peel large, firm tomatoes and cut them in halves, rub a broiler with butter, lay on the tomatoes, dredge with salt and better; when cooked pour over the following sauce: Mix a tablespoonful each of made mustard and butter, a teaspoonful of pepper sauce, the juice of a small lemon, a teaspoonful of currant jelly and a little salt.

The editor of the Searchlight wishes to pass a compliment on the mothers of colored school children for the neatness and tidiness with which most of the colored children attended the first week of school. The editor made it his special mission to drive around to the various schools during recess and at other times when he would not attract attention and took a close observation of the dress and personal appearance of the colored children and to the credit of the colored mothers we say that in most cases their children in dress and personal appearance compared favorably with the other children. Only two or three cases came to our notice which might call for comment—and in these cases the editor will take the subject up personally with the parents. May we say to the mothers that you cannot send your child to school too neat and tidy. The neater and more tidy,the better. This, of course, does not mean superflous nonsensities. You understand. We shall a little later on make a few personal mention of neat and tidy colored school children.

Meet me at Monday Night Dancing School at Masonic Hall. STIRRED A HORNET'S NEST. The strong republican article in the Searhclight last week has brought forth mcuh comment in colored circles on politics and political parties. We publish this week one letter, which is the type of sixteen up to date (Wednesday) which the editor has received touching on this subject. The letter referred to speaks for itself. Beside these letters numerous members of our race seem to voice the same sentiment and there seems to b an undercurrent of unrest among the colored voters at this time on account of the treatment accorded them by the republican party, both state and county. It must be admitted, that in a measure, there is ample room for this complaint by the colored voters. And the republicans can blame no one but themselves for any reason for this complaint to exist. We acknowledge the compliment paid us by the writer and our timidity precludes further comment by us. We say to the writer of this letter and to any others of our race, that the columns of the Searchlight are always open for an expression of their opinion on public questions, whether that opinion agrees with us or not. We rather invite a free and open discussion of these issues and men and "let the chips fall where they will." By this doing the race will be the more able to cast their vote intelligently and to the best interest of the race as a whole. It now looks as though some of the colored voters are going to bolt part of the Republican ticket this year. How far it will extend it is hard to say. If they do the republicans can blame no one but themselves. The shoddy treatment of the colored voters by the republican party is alone to blame. Loking the situation fairly and squarely in the face, one cannot blame the colored voters of this scounty for complaining against the republican organization this year. They have not been fairly treated—that is sure. Roosevelt said: "Vote for the man and not for the party." "There is not a "straight" republican newspaper in Sedgwick county this year. They are either "independent," "On-the-Fence" or "Democratic." What does this mean? What is going to happen? What is wrong? To the keen thinker some one is going to dream dreams. Some men who aspire for political preferment should withhold their abuse of other men until 'after the election' at least. In the contest it will be demonstrated that some fellows will need ecvry single vote they can get "and then some." The election is not here yet--you see!

He reports times flour- ishing in Oklahoma. of New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and the Virginias. Much public at- tention has of late been attracted to Arizona and New Mexico in connection with their ad- mission to statehood, and one gratifying result of this has been a greatly increased interest 4n their resources and conditions. Excluding the populous and thrifty coast region of southern California, the southwest Is the most thinly populated and least developed portion of the country south of Alaska. As this condition is due mainly to a climate so arid that but little can be raised without irrl- gation, its future development is to be meas- ured by the utilization of the vast volume ot flood waters now going to waste. This water can be applied to millions of acres of level lands with rich soil, which with the unending yours Wave In the inland districts the mining industry is the largest source of revenue. Por- tions of the southwest are richly productive of various minerals, notably those of copper, and Fecently southern California has become a heavy producer of petroleum. The value of the copper, oil and other products of the ground aggregates about $75,000,000 a year. It is probable that further exploration will disclose large additional supplies of ores of various kinds, especially those of low grade, which will prove profitable under improved methods of reduction. The southwest presents a variety of topo- graphic features, and many of its economic resources are closely related to them. There is great range in altitude, with corresponding variation in climatic conditions. One of the most salient features 1s the wide, high plateau of northern Arizona, which reaches an alti- tude of 8,000 feet. It is surmounted by vari- ous volcanic peaks, notably San Francisco peak, which {s 12,611 feet above sea level. To the east this district merges into an frregular series of high plateaus, constituting the western half of New Mexico. To the west and south it drops by huge steps into the great region of desert valleys or bolsoms of Nevada, western Arizona, and southeastern California. These deserts are wide, long plains, lying between mountain ridges of varying lengths and heights, ridges which are all very rocky and mostly treeless and trend north and’south. Diagonally across southern California there extends the long curving ridge of the Sierra Madre and San Bernardino mountains, be- tween which and the ocean lies the large oval area known as the valley of southern Califor- nia. This valley Is the great citrus fruit dis- trict, and Los Angeles. ‘There are two great rivers In the south- west, the Colorado and the Rio Grande. The Colorado river has been compared to the Nile and the similarity is notable. Both are streams of the first rank, rising In high moun- tains, and finally crossing a broad region of semi-tropical, nearly rainless deserts. Both empty into seas in nearly the same latitude, and their lower courses are through wide del- tas of fertile soil. The annual overflows add new sediments fertile with plant food and at a time favorable for the crops. ‘The agricultural capabilities are closely similar, but whfle much of the lower Nile val- Jey is utilized the Colorado valley is just be- ginning to be settled. .The watershed area ot the Colorado, with its two head branches, the Green and the Grand, is over 200,000 square miles, its course 2,000 miles in length, and its annual discharge 1s 11,000,000 acre-feet, or enough to cover that number of acres one foot deep. ‘The sediment which it carries each year into the gulf is estimated to be sufficient to cover 53 square miles one foot deep. For 200 miles of its course across the high plateau of northeastern Arizona it cuts the wonderful Grand canyon, which in places is nearly a mile deep. South of the canyon it flows mostly fin broad valleys, but cuts through several des- Sunshine of its mild ci. mate will respond with large and profitable erops. Unfortunately, there fs not enough water for all the land, but there is sufficient, if all were utilized, to support a population many times as. large ‘as the present one. The government is now spending $12,000,000 in reclamation projects in Arizona and New Mex- ico which supply water for nearly one-half mil- lion acres of fertile lands. This will give great impetus to devel- opment, and in time, when settlers take up the reclaimed land, there will be a large increase in its agricul- tural productions, In the great coast region of southern Cal- ffornia, with a popula- tion of nearly 600,000, the principal product is the orange and oth- er fruits, with a value of about $20,000,000 a Bc Nr ee : SOL isameadne baie Re Ae ae | Caen oe oe a Re eae Oi Si FR ice ee Bh J Perse.

Most portions of the average desert bear an extensive, though Somewhat widely spaced, flora. Many desert regions contain numerous settlements, the Sa- hara desert for instance having a population ‘of 2,500,000. Loose sand is a minor feature, and much more prevalent on the seacoasts and along the bottom lands of rivers. There are wide areas of bare rocks, and the larger des- erts include mountains, ridges, mesas and deep canyons. The deserts of the southwest are regions of very scanty rainfall, parts of them having only: three inches a year and evaporation of eighty inches or more. ‘This canyon is the miledeep gorge cut by the Colorado river across the high plateau of northern Arizona. The view from the rim reveals the most stupendous panorama tmag- inable, for one sees into an area of about 600 square miles filled with an endless variety of most rugged topographic forms of many beau- tiful colors. On the sky-line, ten to fifteen miles away, is the edge of a wide-reaching pla- teau, and in the middle ground of the picture flows the Colorado river, nearly a mile below one’s feet. ‘The features are so gigantic and so plainly in view that all sense of scale is lost,-and it 1s not until one has been down to the bottom of the canyon at the river level that any adequate sense of proportion can be gained. ‘The canyon was discovered by Cardenas, who went to its edge in 1540 on a branch trip from Coronado’s expedition, on information ob- tained by Tovar from the Hopi Indians. The original name given to the river was Tison, Spanish for firebrand, and it is to be regretted that the name has not been retained to avoid the present confusion due to the river having the same name as the state. : Coon butte, another of the greatest wonders in our country, is also situated in the south- west, but owing to its distance from the rail- road it {s seldom visited.

They live in villages of sev- eral hundred inhabitants, in substantial stone or adobe houses, some of which are in groups, rising in tiers to a height of four or five sto- ries, with streets and central plaza. They are peaceful and industrious, raising crops largely by irrigation. They have herds of cattle and sheep, and spinning, weaving and making their garments is one of their importaht occu- pations. Work appears evenly divided between men and woman in the queblos. The men do the farming, tend to the cattle and sheep, do the hunting, build the houses, and have many dry air and mild climate the southwest has be- come famous as a health resort, especially for those having tuberculosis of the respiratory or- gans. The percentage of cures made in New Mexico, Arizona and California, great as it is, would be much greater if a larger proportion of those who are seeking health cafe in time. It is necessary to come before the vitality is too greatly diminished and then to live under favorable conditions, the most essential of which is to be out of doors as much as pos- sible. Many health-seekers spend most of their money in railroad fare to reach the desired resorts. Physicians do a great wrong to pa- tients in sending them so far from home, friends and care without means to provide suitable quarters, nourishment and attention to sustain them while making their fight against death. . The climate of the southwest presents con- siderable variety, but in all the lower lands the winters are delightfully mild, and every- where blue sky is in evidence for more than 300 days in the year. The summers ‘are warm; in the southern desert area they are decidedly hot for several months, but the dry air even then {s much more endurable than the sultry summer weather of the eastern and central states. Sunstroke 1s unknown, and laborers continue their work without distress. The valley of southern California is pro- tected from the cold northern winds of winter by high mountain ranges, while to the south it is open to the Pacific. Owing to the pecu- lar configuration of the coast the cold Call- fornia current from the north is deflected west near Point Conception, and hence the south- ern California shores have waters warmer by about ten degrees than those to the north, This beneficent climate is responsible for the giant industry of fruit growing which has made California famous over the globe, Call fornia furnishes the major part of the very large amount of oranges and other citrus fruits consumed in the United States, and this business has been the potent cause in the development of southern California, The orange and other citrus fruits of southern Californla have an output of about 30,000 carloads a year, with a net value of more than $15,000,000. East of the mountains in southern Califor nia is an extensive desert country, much of it without water, but large areas can be reached by ditches from the Colorado river The most notable district of the sort of in the Salton desert, near the Mexican boundary. A few years ago this was a lonely and forbid. ding region, but now, by aid of irrigation from the Colorado river. it has several thriving settlements, with 100,000 people and 200,000 acres of cultivated land. -That portion of it known as Imperial valley has the greatest development, and with rich soil and semi-trop- Seal climate phenomenal results have been ob. tained when water 1s applied. One of the best known products of this region is the canteloupe, of which the annual shipments are over 1,800 cars, bringing nearly a million dollars. This valley contains over 400,000 acres of land, and just across the Mex. fean line are 200,000 more.

Canyon de Chelly is one of the most notable scenic features in Arizona, but it is so far off the main line of trav- el that it fs rare- ly visited. It is cut deeply Into soft sandstones, which rise in ver- tical wails, with many outlying pinnacles and monuments, ORM ee red tures appear also in the great wall of red sandstone on the north side of the wide de- pression through which the Santa Fe railroad crosses the continental divide east of Gallup. One of the most remarkable pinnacles of this wall is fancifully termed the Navajo Church. Few persons who travel across the south- west realize that in Arizona and New Mexico there are enormous forests of valuable timber and that the lumbering is an important indus- try. In both territories there arc several large forest reservations, and one of these in _Ari- zona, the Coconino forest, with nearly 6,000 square miles, is the largest single reserve in the United States. The total forest area re- served in Arizona is 15,250,130 acres, or more than 24,090 square miles, and in New Mexico there are 10,971,711 acres, or more than 17,000 square miles, Southern California also has several large reserves. ‘The Coconino forest in Arizona occupies part of the great plateau in which the Grand Canyon is cut, and extends to the brink of the canyon. ‘The visitor to the southwest usually takes keen interest in the Indians, who are numer- ‘ous not only along the main lines of travel, but in many remote villages. Some tribes, notably the Apaches, who continued to be troublesome until a relatively recent date, have become famous for the misdeeds that ma- terially retarded the development of Arizona and western New Mexico. Now, however, all is peace and tranquillity. The newspapers, es- pecially eastern ones, occasionally print ac- counts of uprisings, but these prove to be local quarrels with a few individuals. The Indians of the southwest are of two Kinds, differing-greatly in most of their char- acteristics. One is the nomad type, represent ed by the Apaches, Navajos, the Yumas, Pa- pagoes and Pimas, and smaller tribes; the other is the pueblo type, which ts comprised of 26 pueblos, or villages, scattered through central and western New Mexico, and in the Hopi reserve, in northwestern Arizona. Probably there “is greater popular interest in the pueblo people, for their settlements are smaller trades and occupations. The women do the house- work, grind the corn, make pottery, blankets and clothes.

A swimming suit that has the double advantage of aiding the swimmer's movements and protecting his life has been designed by a Washington man. It is intended primarily for the use of beginners, but will be found convenient for experts, who wish to take long-distance swims that either would tire them greatly or be impossible without some help. The suit has a Novel Swimming Suit. life-preserver fastened under the arm- pits of the shirt, and from the strong elastic bands reach down and are fastened just above the knees of the trousers. Just outside the ankles are fastened a pair of fins, which give resistance to the water on the back- ward stroke and fold in as the legs are drawn forward. The elastic bands help draw the legs forward and save the swimmer all his strength for the dick back. Equipped with such an apparatus a beginner may feel per- fectly safe in the water, and an expe- nenced swimmer will find himself able to swim miles further than he could otherwise do. The suit is made of light rubber so that it does not get heavy by becoming water-soaked. EGG EXPERIMENT IS UNIQUE Interesting Little Test Shows Why It is so Easy to Swim in Salt Water. Let us take two small pickle bottles, a and B, and one, C, twice as large. A is to be filled with clear water. If, now, we try to float a fresh egg in the latter we shall assuredly fall; the egg will immediately sink to the bottom, because the density of water is considerably less than that of the egg, says Magical Experiments. Next place the egg in B, which is full of concentrated brine, and try to make the egg sink. It is just as impossible to cause it to float in water. It is thus clear that strong salt water is deeper than the egg; and, from this sample experiment, we may guess why it is so much easier to swim in salt than fresh water, since the greater density of the former permits us the more easily to float. Now let us combine these two experiments, and pour into C the greater part of both these fluids, water and strong brine, which will, of course, summingle. By a few trials, pouring in a little more of one or the other, we shall obtain a liquid whose specific gravity is identical with that of our water; and now the latter, having no reason to go to the bottom, and finding no particular excuse to get to the An Egg Experiment. will rest, as the illustration shows, the middle of the jar of salt water; will move toward the surface you add a little more brine, or around the bottom if you replenish the jar with water. If Only. Nice to be a poet, and I would be, every time, when I had a thought, and a proper rhyme. A Queer Ache. One day Mary came to her mother and said: "Mother, my ear ache!"? Does it ache very bad, Mary?" ask- her mother. "No!" Well, run out and play, then you forget about it." Mary went out, but pretty soon she came back and said: "Mother, my mother does ache. It is not the hole, but the ruffle around it." rossinia the wife is master. If husband offends her she can turn set, for the house and its belong- ance are hers. THE LITTLE PURCHASER.

SMALLEST DOG IN AUSTRIA Baker's Wife Gave It to Princess Windischgratz, Thereby Making Her Very Happy. The Princess Windischgratz is the granddaughter of the emperor of Austria. When she was but about eleven years old she was known and loved as "the little Princess Elizabeth." There lived a baker in the city of Vienna whose wife was particularly fond of the little Princess Elizabeth. This baker's wife had, in 1894, a tiny white dwarf dog given her, which was so small that, when full-grown, it could sit on a lady's hand. So small a dog had never been seen before, and people often came to the house on purpose to look at it. It was Christmas eve. The baker's wife dressed herself in her Sunday best, put the dog in a basket lined with pink satin, and went to the palace where Elizabeth lived. No stranger was allowed to go into the palace except by permission. She showed the dog to the guards, and they were so delighted with it that they managed to get her into the palace, and when once in, it was not very difficult to obtain permission from the court authorities to see Princess Stephanie, the mother of the little Princess Elizabeth. "Your royal highness," said the baker's wife, "I hope that you will allow me to present a little gift to your daughter this Christmas eve"; and then she uncovered the basket with the tiny white dog in it. Wasn't the Princess Stephanie delighted with it? And of course the little Princess Elizabeth was. She loved it more than any of the rich gifts which she received for Christmas. The dog remained very small and never grew to be more than five inches high. A LITTLE HERO. He rides most daringly to hounds Upon the rocking chair. Or calls the cat a tiger fierce, And stalks up to her lair. The rug becomes a battle field Where spears and banners toss, The hall a river, wide and deep, That he must swim across. WHY SMALL BOY WAS HAPPY Near-Sighted Stranger Thought Lad Was Enjoying Sunset—Instead Schoolhouse Was Burning. As the ruddy glow increased beyond the brow of the hill the small boy on the bridge clapped his hands vigorously. "Ah, my lad," said the stranger, who was somewhat near-sighted, "it does me good to see you appreciate you beautiful red sky." "Yes, sir," responded the lad, with his eyes glued on the distant glow, "I've been watching it for fifteen minutes." "Well, well! It isn't often one has the opportunity of witnessing such a grand spectacle." "Couldn't be grander to me, sir." "A real poet, without a doubt. And do you watch sunsets often, my little may?" "Sunsets? Why, that isn't a sunset!" "Not a sunset? Then what is it!" "Why, that's the village school burning down." Why Sea Shells Murmur. Ocean is often perplexed by the murmuring sounds that come from a sea shell, but really there is no reason for this. The sound is not the echo of the waves. The hollow form of the shell and its polished surface enable it to receive and return the beatings of all sounds that chance to be in the air around the shell. There are many superstitions regarding the murmuring of sea shells. You Look Prematurely Old DON'T NEGLECT YOUR KIDNEYS. Little kidney troubles gradually grow more serious and pave the way to dropsy, diabetes and fatal Bright's disease. Begin using Doan's Kidney Pills at the first sign of trouble. They cure all kidney ills. P. H. Mrs. L. E. Wilcox, 27 W. Cherokee St., McAster, Okla., says: "I was seized with an awful attack of kidney trouble which came on me in an instant. My back ached intensely and I lost all power of control over the kidney secretions. My health became greatly run down and nothing helped. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and I have been well ever since." Remember the name—Doan's. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Teacher—Procrastination is the thief of time. Scholar—Yes, but there are other watch lift "My little son, a boy of five, broke out with an itching rash. Three doctors prescribed for him, but he kept getting worse until we could not dress him any more. They finally advised me to try a certain medical college, but its treatment did no good. At the time I was induced to try Cuticura he was so bad that I had to cut his hair off and put the Cuticura Ointment on him on bandages, as it was impossible to touch him with the bare hand. There was not one square inch of skin on his whole body that was not affected. He was one mass of sores. The bandages used to stick to his skin and in removing them it used to take the skin off with them, and the screams from the poor child were heartbreaking. I began to think that he would never get well, but after the second application of Cuticura Ointment I began to see signs of improvement, and with the third and fourth applications the sores commenced to dry up. His skin peeled off twenty times, but it finally yielded to the treatment. Now I can say that he is entirely cured, and a stronger and healthier boy you never saw than he is to-day, twelve years or more since the cure was effected. Robert Wattam, 1148 Forty-eighth St., Chicago, Ill., Oct. 9, 1809." In a Hurry. It was Anna's first visit at the seaside. She was only a little girl, and very enthusiastic over the long-looked-for opportunity to go into the water. They came too late the previous day for a dip in the surf, so Anna was up early, and as she put on her bathing suit while the rest were at breakfast some one questioned her as to her haste. "Well, you see," replied the thoughtful child, "I want to hurry and go in before so many people get in and get the water cold." Different Sort of Hair. "Deceiver!" she hissed. "I hate you!" "Hate me!" he gasped. "Why, it was only yesterday you said you loved every hair on my head." "Yes, but not every hair on your shoulder!" she retorted, as she held up a bit of golden evidence.—Stray Stories.

The Tenderfoot Farmer The Tenderfoot Farmer It was one of these experimental farmers, who put green spectacles on his cow and fed her shavings. His theory was that it didn't matter what the cow ate so long as she was fed. The questions of digestion and nourishment had not entered into his calculations. It's only a "tenderfoot" farmer that would try such an experiment with a cow. But many - farmer feeds him-self regardless of digestion and nutrition. He might almost as well eat shavings for all the good he gets out of his food. The result is that the stomach grows "weak" the action of the organs of digestion and nutrition are impaired and the man suffers the miseries of dyspepsia and the agonies of nervousness. To strengthen the stomach, restore the activity of the organs of digestion and nutrition and brace up the nerves, use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is an une-falling remedy, and has the confidence of physicians as well as the praise of thousands healed by its use. In the strictest sense "Golden Medical Discovery" is a temperance medicine. It contains neither intoxicants nor narcotics, and is as free from alcohol as from opium, cocaine and other dangerous drugs. All ingredients printed on its outside wrapper. Don't let a dealer delude you for his own profit. There is no medicine for stomach, liver and blood "just as good" as "Golden Medical Discovery." Tuberculosis in the West Indies. Associations for the Prevention of Tuberculosis have been formed in Cuba, Porto Rico and Trinidad. In Cuba there are over 40,000 deaths from tuberculosis every year, and the death rate from this disease is nearly three times as high in the United States. In Porto Rico there are over 6,000 deaths every year out of 1,000,000 inhabitants. In Trinidad, the death rate from tuberculosis in Port-au-Spain, the only place where figures are available, was 4.75 in 1909, nearly three times the rate in New York city. Conditions in the other islands of the West Indies, where no active campaign against tuberculosis has been undertaken is even worse. The chief reason for this high mortality is found in the unsanitary, dark, and poorly ventilated houses of the natives of the islands. Even the Children. Ex-Governor Pennypacker, condemning in his witty way the American divorce evil, tol at a Philadelphia luncheon an appropriate story. "Even our children," he said, "are becoming infected. A Kensington schoolteacher, examining a little girl in grammar, said: "What is the future of love? 'A divorce,' the child answered promptly." Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the dissection portion of the ear. There is only one way to treat the ear with an infusion of cultural remedies. Dearness is caused by an infused mucous mulling of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infused you have a rumbling sound or irritation in the ear. The infusion is the result, and unless the infusion can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, heartburn, headache, and ear pain are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an infused condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrh. Catarrh is cured by Hail's Catarrh Cure. For circulations, F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O. Man's Many Attributes.

AGENTS WANTED. The Qualint Belluga. Caviare can be made of the ree of any fish; but the principal supply comes from the sturgeon and the belluga. The latter is about the most curious fish in the world. It weighs up to 1,000 pounds and innabits the waters of the swift-flowing Volga. It is so abundant that the natives of Astrazan throw away the flesh—which is whiter than veal and vernalty—and preserve only the spawiz of which they sometimes take as much as 200 pounds out of one fish. This belluga lies on the bottom of the river at certain seasons and swallows many large pebbles of great weight to ballast itself against the force of the stream; that is, the pebbles act as an anchor. When the flood subsides and the waters are less violent the belluga disgorges itself; that is, it unballasts, hauls in its anchor and unballasts, hauls in its provender. LEAD THE IDEAL SIMPLE LIFE. Finns Devote Summer Months to Enjoyment and Pursuit of Health. In Finland everybody lives the simple life in summer time. They camp out on islands, in the forests and always somewhere near the water, for everybody swims and bathes. Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco at this time of year, and the town councils of the towns in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and public bathing sheds in all places where the working classes go in search of fresh air. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finna. They combine it with a surprising amount of gayey. They eat, drink and are merry in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and splashing they dance, they sing, they watch fireworks and practice gymnastics, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good natured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world. We might take many leaves from the Finn's book—Ladies' Pictorial. J. H. Sayles is going to make every body happy at the Monday Night Dancing School at Masonic Hall. 615 N. Main street.

Pursuant to a general custom, and by virtue of the official power vested in me, after conference with the Executive Committee and other officers we have called the Fourteenth Annual Convention of the Western Negro Press Association to convene in regular session in Muskogee, Oklahoma, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 25-26, 1910, for the purpose of discussing all things pertaining to the growth, development and advancement of the African race, realizin gthat the pen is the most potent power, when rightly used, for the betterment of civilization, and the ultimate solution of all social, industrial, economic and political problems in this country; therefore, we urge upon the editors, magazine writers, and men and women engaged in the industrial arts allied to the Newspaper work, to meet us here in regular session with papers, essays, etc., to be read and discussed at this meeting, pertaining to the real needs of our down-trodden, struggling race. All no longer than ten minutes. excent papers are asked to be prepared to be those that are especially invited; the discussion will be only eight minutes unless by common consent. All publications west of the Mississippi are eligible to membership, annual dues one dollar. This meeting will bring together some of the leading orators and thinkers of the country, and the program when published, will bear out this statement. Urgging the press to publish this call, and hoping to meet the members of of the fraternity in our meeting. Witness my hand this 14th day of September, 1910. HARRY R. GRAHAM, Chairman Executive Com., Quindaro, Kans. JOHN L. TOMPSON, President, Editor Iowa State Bystander, Des Moines, Iowa. A. J. SMITHERMAN, First Vive President, Muskogee, Okla. J. DALLAS BOWSER, Corresponding Secy., Kansas City, Mo. Office of Chairman Executive Committee, Western Negro Press Association. Quindaro, Kans., Sept. 26, 1910. To the Newspaper Fraternity, Greetings:— The Fourteenth Annual session of the W. N. P. A., will convene at Muskogee, Okla., Nov. 25-26, 1910. We are desirous of having, if possible, every Negro Journal published within the bounds of the western half of the country, send a representative to participate in the deliberations of the session, and make it the most enthusiastic and profitable meeting ever held. There are now before the American people, and particularly the Negros, many momentous questions which vitally concern the civil, moral and political, present and future of our race, and our press being the mouthpiece and moulder of public thought and sentiment, should be in unison and accord on all such questions. The Western Negro Press Association is a medium thru which a happy solution and analysis of the race's advancement, civil and legal rights may be agreed upon, and serve a field of usefulness that no other organization can possibly serve. It has, in its history of fourteen years, in several instances of great public and national problems, demonstrated its power and influence.: It is composed of men and women who have made a record for race loyalty, progress and attainment; who are alive and wide awake to the needs of the race. Our meeting at Muskogee will be an epoch-making one, and will be attended by many noted men and women of our race from every section of the country. The citizens at Muskogee are making special efforts to welcome and entertain the Association with a genuine hospitality, and each and every frater is cordially requested to be present and share in the generosity of the citizens of Muskogee. Take your Thanksgiving vacation at this time and to this place and on this occasion. Write A. J. Smithlerman, Vice President, Muskogee, Okla., for programs or desired information. Yours for the race, HARRY R. GRAHAM. Chairman Executive Committee, Quindaro, Kansas. Bakers in Germany are fond of making odd experiments, the following being reported from Duisburg, 'n West phalia. At a children's party recently held in that town there was exhibited, and afterwards cut up and distributed among the youngsters present, a bread twist which for size at least has surely rarely been equaled. Welging no less than 180 pounds, it had a breadth of six feet and a length of ten feet, and was thus found sufficient to supply a satisfactory afternoon collation to many as 500 boys and girls. The Searchlight is still doing business at the same old stand, 630 N Main St. Come up. NOTICE KNIGHTS! According to ur by-laws from October 1st, to April 1st, each year Taborian Temple No. 11, will meet at 8 p. m., each first and third Thursday night. All Knights of this Temple will please take due and timely notice an dbe governed accordingly.—W. N. Miller, C. M. Attend the Song Services on Sunday evening 7:30 p. m. at the A. M. E. Church. It is noticeable that the German papers have made no outcry over the fact that King Edward has personally written to Andrew Carnegie. There is a bank cierk in Elyria, who never has any difficulty in striking a balance. His father was a slack-rope walker, and his mother was a trick bicycle rider. Were the Mrs. Gilman brand of sociology to come into vogue there would soon be no society for sociology to operate upon and the exuders of gulf would be among the unemployed. Miss Ross Becker has been appointed a claim agent and United States pension attorney at Missouri. She has been known for years as one of the most successful women in St. Louis, being a notary public and an insurance agent. Massachusetts has a law to prevent recklessness and speeding in automobiles, which law may be rendered ridiculous by its wrong punctuation, as it forbids driving over roads "laid out under the authority of the law recklessly or while under the influence of liquor." Boston, in consequence, is in rhetorical spasms. The secretary of the Colorado state bureau of child protection believes that a bad child gets its start from an ill-ordered home or from parents who possess evil traits of character, and wants a law passed making parents responsible for the misdoings of their minor children. But as bad traits of character are often inherited, what would the secretary do in case of an adopted child? In a fire panic in a New York cheap theater, a so-called exit was found to be a veritable trap, barring in the fleeing crowd instead of letting them find a way to safety. One would naturally suppose that the holocaust in Chicago would have prevented this dangerous practice for all time; but the lessons of catastrophes are quickly least, especially when they are followed by no retributory measures. There will naturally be much feminine sympathy for the New Jersey woman who has appeared in court to complain about her husband's cruel treatment, relates the Washington Star, and who says: "I am a graduate of a cooking school. I make biscuits, pies, cake and all sorts of dainties to please him, and he calls it all 'indigestion fodder!'" The judge advised the woman to cook corned beef and cabbage occasionally, and she said she would. A Minneapolis woman is suing the Western Union Telegraph Company for damages because when she telegraphed to her brother that "Pat," her husband, was drinking, and "to come at once," the message was made to read "Pat is dying," and a horde of relatives, notified by her brother, came from fa. and near to attend the wake, and she had the expenses to pay. If Pat had had anything to say in the matter he would probably have permitted them to pay their own expenses. Said an anxious mother to the family doctor: "What shall I do with my daughter Mary? She is simply candy crazy and, of course, eating nothing substantial makes her pale, if not downright yellow." Said the wise physician to the anxious mother: "Put Mary into a sweet shop, and she'll soon abor the stuff! It is her noble treatment, but it will cure her appetite for candy." Poor Mary! says the Indianapolis Star, how much pleasure she is going to lose for lack of a little self denial. Send for the S. P. C. C. A "Young Mother" asks our opinion of "the alleged injurious effects of rocking on babies." We must frankly say that we consider it a brutal practice. As the father of a great many babies, of all ages, we never rocked on any of them intentionally, and we would probably be arrested if we expressed our full opinion of any woman who would presume to do so.—Lippincott's Magazine. JUMPED AT NATURE'S BIDDING. Would Be Suicide Not Completely Nerved for Final Parting. With a groan of despair he made up his mind to die. Ruined financially, and with not a particle of hope for getting on his feet again, he realized that the only chance for his family escaping pauperism and its attendant miseries was to obtain immediate use of his heavy life insurance. Furthermore, if he lingered on he would be unable to pay the premiums on his policies, which unfortunately were not old enough to carry them selves, so that they would forthwith lapse. Death, therefore, was the only solution to the problem. It was a decision the bitterness of which can only be understood by those forced by circumstances to confront it. He put on his hat and overcoat and went out of the house, lest the expression on his telltale countenance should betray to his loved ones his fell intention. While he was traversing the crowded streets he would consider the best and least suspicious modes of consummating his purpose. If he could encompass it so that the thing looked to the world like an accident, so much the better. 2) would then be no scandal. As he stepped from the curb to cross the street an automobile, driven by a reckless joy-riding chauffeur, came tearing around the corner at terrifying speed. And the energetic leap which the would-be suicide made back to the sidewalk out of harm's way was a caution. IGH IN CIVILIZATION'S SCALE Jnknown Peoples of America Who Have Perished Utterly. Between the region occupied of old by the Aztecs and the realm far to the south over which the Incas ruled lies an immense stretch of territory, a thousand miles long and 800 wide, where the remains of unknown and wonderful civilizations are being discovered, says a writer in Van Noren's Magazine. This region extends from the northern boundaries of Peru to the southern limits of Costa Rica in one section alone along the coast of Ecuador six entirely unkown civilizations were recently brought to light by Prof. Marshall H. Saville, and a vast collection of relics has been brought to New York. This collection is to be the nucleus of a great American museum, which will represent the history of ancient peoples who attained an extraordinarily high degree of civilization, yet whose very existence has been hitherto lost in antiquity. The famed marble chairs of Rome at its zenith were not more symmetrical or beautifully carved than those of one of these unknown civilizations. No pottery of any other ancient race was more delicately patterned than that found in vast quantities, an numerous almost as pebbles, on the sites where these extinct peoples dwelt. Their cloth was of truly manvelous weave; in beauty of decor richness of color and fineness of texture no fabric of to-day surpasses it. TO HESITATE LONG IS TO PAR Successful Business Man Must Have Attribute of Courage. Many a man fails because he does not dare to take risks, to take the initiative. When you expect to do anything distinctive in life? When do you expect to get out of the ranks of medicocracy? The men who do original things are fearless. There is a lot of dare in their make-up, a great deal of boldness. They are not afraid to take chances, to shoulder responsibility, to endure inconvenience and privation. There never was a time when the quality of courage was so absolutely indispensable in the business world as it is to-day. It does not matter how many success qualities you possess, young man, if you lack courage, you will never get anywhere. Not even honesty or perseverance will take its place. There is no substitute for courage. It does not matter how well educated you may be, or how good a training you may have had for your vocation, if you are a hesitator, if you lack that courage which dares to risk all on your judgment, you will never get above mediocrity. The men who stand at the top of their line of endeavor stand there because they have the courage of their convictions. They had the courage to climb, had the nerve to undertake even against the advice of others—Success Magazine. Pacullar African Race There is a peculiar sort of people living in northwest Rhodesia. These natives are small of stature, with large horns on their heads. The horn springs from the scalp, consists of the native's hair mixed with fat and flesh, and is sometimes as much as 18 inches long. For the most part these Kafu live on the great open flats to be found on both sides of the Kafu river. They build their huts on the great an heaps which appear like hills scattered over the flats. When the Kafu is in flood and the flats are changed into great lakes these people are safe in their huts on the ant heaps. Their cattle also take refuge on the ant heaps on which corn and meals are likewise grown.
