YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER RACE PROGRESS As Reported By The National Negro Business League FOURTEENTH YEAR The life and career of of Berry O'Kelley of North Carolina should be an inspiration to the youth of his race. His home is at Method, a community of colored people mostly, three miles west of Raleigh. He was born in slavery; but being bereft of his parents at an early age, he was cared for by and aunt and her husband. Under their fostering guardianship, Mr. O'Kelly laid the foundation for a successful career, which has made him one of notable characters of the race. In prgportion as he gave close attention to business and studied the laws that underlle successful commercial enterprises he prospered as the village grew He is postmaster of the place, his commission dating back as far as 1890. He is also the rail road agent, chairman of the school committee and conducts one of the largest general stores of any man in the state. Mr. O Kelly owns a number of highly cultivated farms and is an extensive operator in real estate. He owns much valuable property in the city of Raleigh being at the head of a company that has recently purchased for $10,000 on the main street of the capital. property formerly used at the office building of the News and observer. This will be overhauled and enlarged into States for Negroes, the girl outnumbers the boy almost 3 to 1. The boy of today varies greatly from those of yesterday. He is no longer the chaste and almost underfield being of the past but his senses have turned (just a few good ones) to rowdines bad associates, unclean habits that are shortening his life, ruin a splendid building with up-to-date appointments. He is also a member of the Raleigh Shoe Store Company and Millinery Store, which is now one of the principal mercantile houses in the city. Mr. O'Kelly by devoting himself almost wholly to business pursuits, has by square dealing prompt attention to obligations rounded out a measureiof succes, rarely attained by few men of the race. His note is good any day for $50,000 in any baulk in the city of Raleigh. Then there is the people's Mercantile Company, capitalized at $5,000.00 but which is now on the eve of expanding the capital to $20.090 on account of the growing demand of the trade. The firm does a general mercantile business, carrying a high grade of commodities in the grocery, hardware and dry goods lines. The stack of goods appeals as much to their white patrons as to the blacks, so that it is necessary to employ five cleeks, besides the general manager who is Mr James Gibson. The incorporators of the firm are easily worth $60,000 and the two story brick building in which they do business was erected at a cost of $10,000 including the lot on which it is built. The Eddy High school is located here and has the reputation of being the center of educational facilities in Middle Georgia. The curriculum of the school comprises five different courses of study. Seven college graduates make up the faculty with A. B. Cooper A. B. as principal. A few years ago, Messrs. R. L. and J. L. Williams started in the business of manufacturing cigars as the field and opportunity seemed inviting. Now, after four years of experience they have become fixtures in the business life of the city of Tampa, Florida. Their output is not only large, but the brands are of such superior quality as to cause the firm to be well known throughoet the country. J. Andrew Williams is the manager. New York real estate dealers, among whom are Messrs. Nail and Parker, take high rank in the business world. The other day this enterprising firm closed a deal involving $1,070,000 opening ten modern apartments houses to colored people. A feature of the deal is that all parties to it are colored—the selling end being St. Phillips Church, the richest of Negro corporations in the country.

Milledgeville, Ga., can boast of some as refined, intelligent and thrifty members of the race, as may be found in any place of its size, or even much larger, in the country. The colored people not only own nice comfortable homes, the fruit of their industry and frugality, but they also have "an eye" for business opportunities, when in sight. Among the largest and most prosperous of the latter is the colored drug store, which compares favorably in stock and management with the best in the city. It is under the control of Dr. Lee and Mr. Frederick Davis. Splendid Meeting.

Where Are Our Girls On hearing a speech made by one of the prominent colored doctors of this city, my mind has been haunted by those facts he uttered ever since. He spoke on the scarcity of Negro husband for Negro girls and brought out some interesting and acute facts that should be given due and just consideration by every Negro boy and girl. The doctor exemplified the refined wife with the unpolished husbands, the all of interest taken by you men in social affairs, where the intermingling of the two sexes were required. Also, he spoke of the girl who is classed high, that associates with the young man who has been ostracised rom society circles for some immoral act, then being an associate of our best girls. The doctor made some timely remarks The girl on a whole is being educated and trained for the various essentials of lite, while the with the same chances, is neglect To Get Husbancs? ing his.

What sort of a husband would one of these insert, insignificant beings make for a busband for one of our best girls This grave question stares every one in the face. Today we see boys who should be school, lounging around sa loons, pool halls, roving the slums and attaching themselves to the very worst habits. What sort of husbands will they be? There should be as much interest taken in the boy as there is in the girl, for in their union the outcome may be regretted. We should use evero effort in persuading the young man to toe the mark, socially with the girl, for social interminging will be one of the primary actors in aiding the young man to realize the required quality to enter upon marrage life.

Although William Gaylord had a penchant for producing none-too-clever short stories and halt-and-lame verse, no one in Toddytown knew this except pretty Mamie Montclair, a girl who secrets from confidential admirers only to give them freely to the world. Gaylord — the serious, angular, spectacled William—had long traveled conspicuously in the train of Mamie's admirers, and although she deigned him barely more than a curt nod and pleasant salutation on any occasion, there were those who averred that she cared more for him than for all the others. The Montcalair damsel was a thorn in the sides of the envious feminine contingent of the town. When Mamie, a gawky girl in pigtails, had been thrust upon a train and sent to Mrs. Gentry's finishing school at Savannah there was no one to prophesy the mighty change that was to take place in her during her two seasons with the famous southern beauty maker. Mrs. Gentry deplored Mamie's diminutiveness, but she marveled much over the maid's complexion, and astutely saw great possibilities in her dark but clumsy braids. There had been no beavies of men admirers in those days. Willie Gaylord had peered mistily at the departing one through thick and ugly glasses—and he had been all! His hand had gripped hers in a tight clasp, and after several attempts he had convulsively spoken a formal goodby, and hurried away. Mamie was young, but she had understood. Now it was different. Willie was only an humble one in the group of fluttering male moths around the flame of Mamie's personality. At least this seemed to be the existing condition to the denser brains of the men who watched. With the women it was different. They could see the trend of Mamie's thought. Much of the Montclair currency—the family coffers were kept replenished from the profits of a factory manufacturing popular hand soap—was spent upon Mamie. She was given trips abroad, seasons in the metropolis; yachts and automobiles were at her disposal, and, in fact, anything for which she wished was laid at her little feet. She ran the gamut of innocent pleasures. She sounded the depths of every man's effection—that is, every man except the slim, narrow-chested William. Serenely he watched her trimphs, but his lips remained mute. In these days William had begun to destroy much good white paper, and with two fingers he was laboriously, painfully, learning the intricacies of the typewriter. His attempts at fiction were crude, his unskilled pencil generally building a stick for a hero and a frump for a heroine. His stuff was unreal, lifeless. His effusions hastened promptly back when submitted to the magazines. It was well that the Gaylord fortune was large—ample enough to allow the attenuated youth to favor his profitless fad. There was no money in the production of fiction for William. Just before Mamie had taken leave of Toddytown on another suddenschemed, mother-chaperoned trip across the seas she had given the youth a whole afternoon. William had not wholly improved his opportunities. He had not spoken a word of love. He had, however, broken into the crypt of his heart to parade his ambitious secret to her. Mamle Montclair had listened so renely to the budding genius. "Have you sold any of your stories?" she asked, deftly arranging a dark curl. "Not yet," acknowledged William bravely; "but I have received two letters from editors—outside of the regular run of refusal slips, you know—asking me to submit more of my work." "Keep it up," encouraged the girl. "I—I am sure you can win, if—if only you will believe in yourself. You haven't enough self-confidence." She blushed at some subtle thought not plain to the admiring Gaylord, who was now watching her with admiring eyes. "I believe I can do much—if you want me to," he said simply, and this was as near sentiment as he approached during the afternoon, although the forelock of opportunity dangled temptingly time and again before his fingers. After Mamie had been gone for some time, there came back to Gaylord a letter bearing a foreign stamp. Willie recognized the handwriting. "From her," he murmured, and as there was no one there to see, he pressed his lips to the envelope. Mamie, it seemed, was interested in Willie's ambition to become one of the producers of popular fiction. She wished to keep in touch with him, to learn of his triumphs, to condole with him over his failures, to encourage him. Some of this was implied; some boldly told him in frank sentences. Through the letter, however, ran a thread of romance, not wholly agreeable to the youth. "I have met a perfect dear of a man here," the girl wrote. "He is a duke or a count or something, and he is just too sweet! He shows me marked attention." Several other allusions were made to this scolon of nobility; so many, in fact, that William felt impelled to answer promptly—and he gave much space in his effusion to the "national duty of an American girl, viz., to marry an American." In a tardy answer to this she spoke again of the count—it now seemed that he hore this title—and assured her old Toddytown friend that he was different from the usual run of small fry lordlings. This count, said Mamie, was a perfect gentleman. In a timid sentence she confessed that the count was even then with them—he had joined her party. They were in France. Latent personality developed in William Gaylord. He wrote angrily and demanded that the girl scan the scores of alliances contracted between American dollars and continental blue blood and write him if she found a truly successful one. He bluntly—and brutally—insisted that her count was thinking only of her money in his wooing and not of her personal charms. Between letters he savagely dashed off a story with an American girl as heroine, a messaillance as motif, and a lover literally beat the corneted husband to a pulp and dragged the girl-wife away to an American divorce colony. An editor bought this promptly and sent the cynic a substantial check. Gaylord was the frenzied recipient of just one more teasing letter—and then Mamle came home. "Well," roared William—a strong-jawed, harsh-featured William, with cold gray knobs of polished steel in lieu of eyes scintillating behind the thick glasses. "I suppose you brought that idiot along with you." Mamie stared. "If you mean the count," she answered meekly, "I didn't. You seemed so—so set against it that I didn't dare." She lowered her eyes. They were on the vine-covered veranda of the Montclair mansion—and alone. "Say! I've sold a story!" In his elation Gaylord abruptly changed the subject. "I—I am glad," whispered the girl. She still stood before him, a diminutive goddess of beauty with eyes lowered. "I—I told you you could win—if you would." Gaylord came resolutely up and closed fierce arms about her. "I'm going to marry you," he said loudly. "And—and no darned count can butt in." Such was the manner of Gaylord's wooing. Nightcaps Coming Back. Nightcaps, the solace of our fathers and our grandfathers, have gone out of fashion. No one—or but few—wear these cosy overalls for bald heads that were considered indispensable a generation ago or so. A gentleman who likes to sleep with his bedroom window open, but who cannot because he catches cold in his bald pate, sought all over New York for nightcaps lately. In one big department store he found them. He was in inquiry for "children's caps made of stockinette or something of that sort." The saleswoman cross-examined him so rigidly that he consciously lifted his hat. "Oh, you mean nightcaps," she exclaimed. "We're the only store in New York that keeps 'em. They're coming into use again. Where we sold a dozen last year we're selling a hundred now. Fresh air. That's the answer."—New York Sun. Exporting Walnut Trees. Walnut trees are becoming scarcer from year to year in eastern Pennsylvania, owing to the high prices they command. Exporters make systematic tours through the rural regions, buying up all the walnut trees that can be had. They pay $50 to $100 a tree, or even more if the specimen is particularly attractive. A big walnut tree on the Hutchinson estate, in Cheltenham, has just been cut down and the timber will be shipped abroad. A Willington exporter of walnut logs bought this and other trees in the vicinity. These logs, it is said, are to be manufacturer into gun stocks in France. Formerly walnut timber was in demand in Europe, principally for use in making veneer for furniture. How the Ostrich Travels. Ordinarily two feet is the stride of the ostrich, but when the bird is frightened it is known to have run 30 miles an hour. When it runs it takes both feet off the ground at every stride; its progress being made in a series of jumps so rapidly performed that it seems one foot is on the ground while the other is placed. Birds of lesser leg length usually cover four or five feet of ground at every normal step. "My little boy can give a perfect imitation of a phonograph."

If the pickle is not sour add a tablespoon of vinegar. Spread the sauce over chops or fish. Cucumber Sauce. This is a sauce especially nice with broiled fish. Pare two cucumbers and cut lengthwise in quarters. Cut of the edge containing the seeds if they are large, then chop fine, and squeeze quite dry through a cheese cloth. Mushrooms. During the month of May our first mushrooms appear and with a little study and a good teacher one may become proficient in telling the edible varieties in a short time. They are so delicious, digestible and dainty that it seems a shame that so many pounds of the delectable vegetable should go to waste from indifference and lack of knowledge. When they are carefully picked and cleaned before putting into the basket they need never be touched with water to cleanse them. Water soaks and spoils their delicate texture and flavor. Take a dozen large fresh mushrooms, sprinkle with salt after peeling the caps and broil over a clear fire. Add bits of butter to the cups and arrange on pieces of buttered toast. Saute in two tablespoonfuls of butter, one cup of chopped mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and add a fourth of a cup of heavy cream. Reheat and pour over the mushrooms and toast. Baked Mushrooms Peel the caps of 12 large mushrooms, sprinkle with pepper and salt. Remove the stems, cook in a little butter, add a cup of chicken stock or cream, simmer 15 minutes. Place on rounds of bread on a buttered platter, cover and cook 15 minutes, basting with melted butter once during the cooking. A few gratings of nutmeg is an improvement. Mushrooms With Tomatoes. Prepare half a pound of mushrooms, break in small pieces and saute in butter for five minutes. Slice six tomatoes after removing the skins and arrange them in layers in ramekins or a buttered baking dish with the mushrooms. Cover with a tomato sauce seasoned with onion. Sprinkle with buttered crumbs and bake until the crumbs are brown. Deviled Mushrooms. Mix one teaspoonful of mustard, a few grains of cayenne, one teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce and half a teaspoonful of paprika. Cover broiled mushrooms with this mixture and serve on slices of bread.

The strongest enemy is a bird's beak a man to his God is a wife's devotion. Economical Suggestions. There are so many rich and attractive dishes which we would like to afford; but the cost is in the way. The rich steamed pudding which is such a favorite can seldom be served in homes of moderate means because of its expense. The following is a recipe that is especially good and one quite inexpensive. Steamed Pudding. Take one and a half cups of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder sifted well, a cupful each of suet, brown sugar, raisins, currants or chopped prunes, grated carrot, grated potato, half a cup of orange peel, half a grated nutmeg, one lemon peel grated, half a teaspoon of cloves and a teaspoon of cinnamon. Steam three hours. This pudding can be re-heated and is good as long as it lasts. When oranges are reasonable in price, orange marmalade is not an extravagance as it is used only in small quantities as a delicacy, yet an economical rule for making a marmalade which will take its place acceptably is the following: American Marmalade. Shave very thin one orange, one grape fruit and one lemon. Peel and core two small greening apples. Measure the fruit and add three times the amount of water. Let stand over night; in the morning boil ten minutes. Let stand another night. Add an equal quantity of sugar and cook very slowly until it jellies. Stir as little as possible. HE love of praise is not the HE love of praise is not the lowest motive that can move the human soul. The outside of man is of so much surface after all: the gentleman is a lover of men, and seeks not to charm but only to serve them. Meat Sauces. There are a few common sauces which are well known, such as tomato, white sauce and the brown sauce. A sauce, if well prepared and served, will change the character of a dish on which it is passed, and as the following are not so commonly served, they may prove acceptable. Pickle Sauce. Rub an ounce of butter (two tablespoonfuls) to a cream, add half a teaspoonful of salt, a speck of cayenne and one tablespoon of finely chopped sour pickles. If the pickle is not sour add a tablespoon of vinegar. Spread the sauce over chops or fish. Cucumber Sauce. This is a sauce especially nice with broiled fish. Pare two cucumbers and cut lengthwise in quarters. Cut off the edge containing the seeds if they are large, then chop fine, and squeeze quite dry through a cheese cloth. Season with salt, paprika and vinegar and stir in one-half cup of thick cream whipped stiff. Hollandaise Sauce. Hollandaise sauce. Cream a fourth of a cup of butter, beat the yolks of two eggs in a saucepan, add two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and one-fourth of a cup of hot water, a few grains of salt and cayenne. Place the saucepan over the fire and stir constantly until it is quite thick. Then quickly stir in the creamed butter and serve at once. Bread Sauce. Cook one-half cup of style bread crumbs, a slice of onion and three cloves, in one and a half cups of milk 30 minutes. Rub through a strainer if the crumbs are large. Add two tablespoonfuls of butter, one-half teaspoonful of salt and speck of paprika. If too thick add a little more milk. Serve with eggs and game. Garnish with one-half cup of coarse bread crumbs browned in butter. Horse Radish Sauce. Take three tablespoonfuls of grated horse radish, one tablespoonful of vinegar, a fourth of a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of cayenne and four tablespoonfuls of heavy cream beaten stiff. Serve in a pretty glass dish. ONG do we live upon the ONG do we live upon the husks of corn. While 'neath untasted lie the kernels still. Milk besides being a food is a most useful liquid in the household. It will take out ink spots of long standing. A little put into cooked starch gives it a gloss. It will remove discoloration from gilt mirrors and picture frames. Used with bluing for lace curtains it will make them look as fresh as new. When washing fine laces instead of using starch to stiffen them, a little milk will answer the purpose and make them creamy in color if so desired. If a window is desired, clouded, apply a strong solution of epsom salts mixed with vinegar. This gives a beautiful frosted appearance and will be permanent if varnished with a white varnish. Use a little vaseline to rub over the shoes to keep them soft and water-proof. When there are several pieces of cheese too dry to serve, try toasting them. It changes the flavor and makes a dainty way to serve cheese. A little grated cheese added to escaloped potatoes adds flavor and changes an otherwise common dish into a new one. The Uses of Cheese. Cheese is such a concentrated food that a little of it is valuable in the bill of fare. There should never be a crumb of cheese wasted as there are so many dishes that are improved by a tablespoonful of grated cheese. Served as it commonly is in cubes or slices as an accompaniment to the dessert, or as dessert itself with crackers it needs no recommendation. Cheese alone or in combination makes a fine filling for sandwiches. Take equal parts of the grated cheese and walnuts pounded to a meal, moisten with thick cream and season to taste with salt. Spread between thin slices of buttered bread. A little grated cheese added to a white sauce which may be served with eggs or toast is a nice breakfast or luncheon dish. A plain omelet served with grated cheese sprinkled over it just before folding, changes the omelet into a fancy dish. Tomatoes and Rice. Prepare tomatoes for stewing and add when boiling two tablespoonfuls of rice to a cup of tomato. Cover and cook slowly, then season with salt, pepper and a little butter and sugar. Rice with cheese makes a very acceptable escalloped dish. Rice croquettes may be served with any preferred sauce. Bolled rice may be served in the place of potato in the Fatherland Loaf, lining the baking pan with a layer of rice, then put in the meat and cover with rice. Mock Angel Food. Sift together one cupful of sugar, a cupful of flour and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a pinch of salt, five times, then beat into this mixture a cup of bolling hot milk; when smooth flavor and cut and fold in the whites of two eggs. Bake in gem pans or layers for a change. Small cakes baked rather thin and frosted are now the popular cake. A variety of frostings may be used, a filling may be laid on top of the small cakes and carefully covered with boiled frosting. Sunday School Lesson for May 7, 1911 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT-2 Chronicles 26. Memory Verses 18, 20. GOLDEN TEXT—"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."—Prov. 16:18. TIME—Uzziah's reign extended (Beecher) from B. C. 806 to B. C. 755; (Hastings) B. C. 801 to 749. Uzziah may have become a aaper about B. C. 768. Jotham being the reagent from that time. PLACE—The Temple in Jerusalem. KINGS—In Israel, Jeroboam II. In Assyria, Shalmanezer III. PROPHETS—Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, the Zechariah of our lesson. On the murder of King Joash he was succeeded by his eldest son, Amaziah, a man of piety and force, who slew the murderers of his father, sparing their sons, and then turned upon the enemies of his country, the Edomites south of the Dead Sea, who had been ravaging southern Judea. He hired thousands of mercenaries from the Northern Kingdom, to aid him in the war. When a prophet rebuked him for thus involving himself with an idolatrous nation he dismissed the mercenaries, who on their way home, plundered the cities of Judah. Amaziah went on, however, and with his own troops conquered the Edomites in the Valley of Salt south of the Dead Sea, and thoroughly subdued the cruel nation. He brought home with him some of the Edomite idols and worshiped them, thus dishonoring Jehovah, who had so signally helped him, in favor of gods who had proved their own powerlessness! A courageous prophet rebuked him, but we are told what the effect was. In his pride of success, and perhaps to avenge the towns which the Israeliteh mercenaries had plundered, he sent a boastful message to Joash king of Israel, challenging him to fight. Joash promptly accepted the challenge, completely worsted Amaziah, captured Jerusalem, and went away with all the treasure of the Temple and royal palace, and with many of the citizens as hostages. Amaziah continued to reign for fifteen years, but his subjects never were contented, and at last they rose in revolt and murdered him. The son of Amaziah, Uzziah, a lad of sixteen, was chosen by the people. He continued his father's conquest of the Edomites by fortifying Eloth, an important city at the head of the eastern branch of the Red Sea, thus putting Judah in a position to renew the rich commerce with India which Solomon had established. Uzziah's was a religious life. He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. He followed Amaziah in the better part of his life, and not in his idolatry. There is no better preparation for the eyes of the world than to be conscious ever of God's eyes upon us. The period of Uzziah and Jeroboam was the golden age of Israel. As a result of conquest and of commercial enterprise the accumulation of wealth was greater than had ever been known before. The rich lived in palaces of hewn stone and of ivory. They reposed on couches with damask coverings. They lay upon beds of ivory, and stretched themselves upon sofas. They ate lams selected out of the flocks, and calves fattened in the stall. They sang to the accompaniment of harps songs that they thought as fine as those of David. They drank beakers of rare wine, and anointed themselves with precious ointments. This prosperity, however, was restricted to the upper classes. While the nobles flourished, the poor grew constantly poorer. The peasant proprietors were crowded cut, and all the land came into the hands of a few great nobles. The free-born Israelites sank to the position of serfs. Prosperity has more perils than adversity, and pride is one of them. Dressed, according to Josephus, in priestly attire, and perhaps on the celebration of some high national feast, Uzziah presumed to enter the Holy Place, which it was death for any but a priest to enter, and to offer incense upon the sacred altar. Uzziah appears to have desired to become supreme pontiff as well as king, and to exercise the same dual functions as the Egyptian Pharaohs were wont to do. He had to disregard the direct command of Jehovah that the priests alone should burn incense on his altar; he had to despise the history of his people, to defy the holy name by which he himself was called. Thus a reign of fifty-two years was spoiled in an hour. What terrible punishment came to Uzziiah? The infliction of that most loathsome, incurable disease, leprosy. Thus Miriam had been punished, and Gehazi. According to Josephus, it was at this very moment that the famous earthquake of Uzziiah's reign occurred. For the rest of his life he lived in a separate house. It was perhaps some place in the country to which the king confined himself. We are not told whether he repented of the sin that he had committed; but we may perhaps assume that he did so. The story of Ahaz reinforces the warning that comes to us from the story of Uzziah. The pride of Ahaz was pride of opinion; that of Uzziah was pride in accomplishment. Pride may spring from good looks, fine clothes, plenty of money, a keen intellect, distinguished social position. A boy may be vain of his ball-playing and a girl of her white hands. What ever may be the source of it, pride is always a terrible danger. $3.50 RECIPE CURES WEAK KIDNEYS, FREE RELIEVES URINARY AND KIDNEY TROUBLES, BACKACHE, STRAIN- ING, SWELLING, ETC.

ANXIETY WAS FOR THE KEG Overcharge a Small Matter, but Customer Did Hate to See Good Material Hurt. Every nail-keg in the store had its occupant, the checker-board was working overtime, and mittens and muffiers were stuffed in bulgy pockets, as their owners drew closer round the big, rusty stove. The door opened noisily, letting in a blast of the storm raging outside, and in its wake followed Rufe Blevins, a giant wood-chopper, whose good nature and ready wit made him a welcome addition to the store circle. The loafers moved a little closer together to make room for Rufe on a soap-box, but he marched past the friendly circle, plumped an empty molasses-keg down on the counter, and drew a stained bill from his pocket, which he held out to the proprietor of the store. An expectant grin went round the circle, for Storekeeper Jones had the reputation of never wronging himself by overweighing or undercharging. The merchant adjusted his glasses and looked expectantly from the bill to the wood-chopper. "Notice you charged me for five gallons o' molasses last time I had this four-gallon keg filled," drawled Rufe. "I don't mind payin' for the extra gallon, Mr. Jones, but I do kinder hate to have a good keg strained to pieces." —Youth's Companion. A Missionary Tree A missionary, during a Lenten tea, said, pointedly: "I have established missionary trees all over the country. But perhaps you don't know what a missionary tree is? A missionary tree is one whose profit goes entirely to missions. "A Roxborough farmer has in his apple orchard a golden pippin tree that helps to support the Chinese mission. A Florida woman has an orange tree that helps to uplift the cannibals of New Guinea. A California nut farmer devotes a walnut tree to the spread of the faith in Zanzibar. "Missionary trees," the speaker ended, "are very good things, but the principle that underlies them need not be confined to farms and farmers." A Herford Bon Mat Oliver Herford and a friend were strolling through a section of town that was plentifully strung with pulley lines on which many a family "wash" was waving in the wind. Mr. Herford's companion called attention to the manner in which these garments shut out the sky and otherwise disfigured the landscape. Mr. Herford gazed at them thoughtfully and then gently murmured: "The short and simple flannels of the poor." Hér Way Mrs. Woggs—So you keep your husband home evenings?

PRET RRC army with its general staff or board of direc- tors, but in even greater degree is it evidence of the value of that comparatively new insti- tution, the U.S. Army War College. The news- paper-reading public has been told repeatedly these past few years that it is the special prov- ince of the officers detailed to duty in the great red brick building, overlooking the Potomac in Washington, to have on hand and to keep constantly up to date detailed plans of cam- paign for use in the event of war with any cther nation. However, the present instance affords the country at large its first real ex- amplification of the practical value of the in- formation that is kept under such close guard in the plan vault and the map rooms of the War College. Tt was shown by the rapidity with which or- ders were formulated and issued for this sud- den movement of the largest body of troops that has been handled at any one time since the Spanish war that the War College has de- pendable information as to just what can be expected of the railroads in| an emergency. This showed, too, the wisdom of Uncle Sam's policy of keeping his war plays up to the min- ute by revising them everytime there is a change of railroad schedules for, in this in- stance, most of the troops traveled by regular trains instead of by special trains and the lat- ter would presumably be resorted to only in the case of extreme emergency. Another feature of the plans forthe army in action for which the big trek to Texas has proven a most beneficial dress rehearsal is that which contemplates reliance upon the tele- graph system of the country in the movement of troops. The use of the network of wires covering the continent, in the event of war, has been the subject of study on the part of the military experts that has gone hand in hand with the investigation as to how the rail- road arrangements could be made to promote the mobility of the military force. This work- ed out just as anticipated the day orders were issued for the advance to Texas and there poured into the department a continual stream of telegrams that kept the officials advised in detail as to the movement of every body of troops headed for the rendezvous in the Loue Star State. It may be a trifle early to talk about the les- sons to be drawn from this taste of war but one is already apparent. It emphasizes that the field artillery yet has a very important place in our military paraphernalia. There has been a disposition on the part of some people, of late years, to regard any considerable amount of field artilery as not the most useful equipment for the American army. Such advo- cates took the view that Uncle Sam ought to put his money into heavy coast defense guns just as he is concentrating his naval expendi- ture upon battleships of the heaviest class. However, the unexpected call to Texas, empha- sizing as it did, vistas of trouble that had been completely overlooked in cpnteripletion of fe “yellow peril,” called attention to the possible sore need for ample field artillery under cer- all over the country at widely separated mili- tary posts, Exireme mobility, which in the case of the American army has oeen so strikingly put to be test by the double quick advance on the Rio Grande, is the one attribute above all others for which our military experts have wen working ever since the Spanish-American, war. The United States needs a mobile armed force as does no other nation on the Zobe. Indeed, it is absolutely imperative. The explanation is found, of course, in the immense extent of the republic and our far- fung coast ine. To protect so extensive a territory needs an armed force that can move with extreme rapidity from place to place. The fact that broad oceans separate us from the tations that, in the event of trouble, would bwve our most formidable foes, presumably ‘insures us reasonable warning of dttempted favasion but even with this leeway it needs quick moving soldiery to rush at short notice to any threatened point of attack. The circumstance that the rushing of troops ‘o our southern boundary left the Atlantic coast virtually unprotected is belng made an ‘asument for a larger regular army by the Mdvocates of such an organization. However, our military experts have not waited upon @ larger army to perfect a state of military pre- Paredness, But whatever the merits of this question of 4 large standing army the military experts have not waited upon its solution. They have Ene right ahead, bending every energy to hake a force of considerably less than 100,000 men equal in emergency to a body of soldiery ‘everal times as numerous. To that end Uncle Sam's soldiery, with due acknowledgement of the modern tendency of specialization, have teen rendered as versatile as possible In the tris of warfare. And, best of all, there has teen cultivated the “fire alarm” propensity to cut and run for a scene of trouble at the Stovest warning. In their part of the pre- Patatlons, too, the administrative officials in ‘ey branch of the army have kept constant- 'y {a ound this aim and purpose. Of all the preparations for war which have Sne forward under a clear sky perhaps the Host wonderful have had to do with the trans- rtation arrangements, Our military experts lave awakened to the fact that the United Sates is the greatest railroad country in the fold aod that even in the event of the most PLUS conflict it is unlikely that many of uf? communteative lines would be seriously | Eerfored with, Why not then, make these iulbllators of time and space @ military as- ES Indeed tt is imperative to do so if the a 's to be rendered a mobile force, for no ty lit can serve as the twentteth cen- or ygultitute for the forced marches of oth: ton’*:, Consequently, whereas European na- ta. htt their circumseribed areas and per- milftvays have been experimenting with yar 42, Sutomobiles and other innovations our sin c’tTsuent officials have been wrestling Ging “A?

And Incidently it © onveyed the hint that the m ountain batteries, in which guns and ammu- nition are “packed” on winia hick. might prove as invaluable in the mountains of Mexico as they have under somewhat similar conditions in the Philippines, Similarly the conditions existing at the scene of the present campaign are such as to empha- size the fact that there is yet a very important sphere for the cavalry in the army. It as though the crisis in this unexpected quar- ter were a providential answer to the argu- ments of those persons in and out of official life who have been urging in recent years that the foot-soldier should be practically the whole thing in our military complement. It must be apparent to everybody who Is even casually conversant with geographical condi- tions that if Uncle Sam is to keep peace “From the Canal to Canada” he will have need of a considerable cavalry force and a force pro- vided with the best possible class of mounts. There are mountainous localities in the region to the south of us where only cavalry could operate successfully. Neither automobiles nor yet aeroplanes would serve as a substitute. And incidentally it may be noted that conditions on the Mexican border have afforded an op- portunity much earlier than was anticipated to test the practical military value of the airship. ‘The servicability of the sky craft for scouting operations ought to be pretty well attested ere the troops return to their home stations. No better theater of war, real or mimic, than the southwest could be chosen for demon- strating the progress made during the past few years, both in the methods and equipment of the U. 8. Signal corps. The general public, with its craving for the spectacular, has heard most regarding the introduction of the aero- plane as a utensil of warfare but as a matter of fact the Signal Corps has recently tmtro- duced innovations far more important from a military standpoint than the aerial scouts, and these communicative utilities and novelties for day and night signaling would obviously prove especially valuable in rough country where there are few existing telephone or telegraph wires and where the erection of such lines would be difficult and expensive. The Signal Corps is fully abreast of the times (and of the military establishment of any other nation) in its experiments with wireless telegrapby and wireless telephony and it has developed some yery ingenious expedients for the use of rap- idly moving forces in the field,—as for Instance, the autotelegraph car or telephone and tele- graph station on wheels and the apparatus which enables a mounted trooper to lay or reel in a telephone wire automatically while his horse is at full gallop, the rider meanwhile con- tinuing telephone conversation over this elastic wire. It is expected that when the joint operations of the army and navy in the south have passed into history the record of operations will af- ford argument one way or another as to what shall be done with the U. S. Marine Corps. Our readers will recall that this force, the “sol- diers of the navy” has been for some time past a bone of contention in service and official cir- cles. Many persons have contended for years past that this body of sea soldiers who are pre- sumably no longer needed on our warships as they were in the days when most of the sailors were foreigners, should be transferred to the army. Some time ago all the marines were ta- ken off the warships, but Iater by order of con- gress they had to be restored. Now that hun- dreds of the marines are scheduled to partict- pate in extensive land operations,—either inde- pendently or in conjunction with the soldiery of the regular army—it is hoped that evidence will be forthcoming as to whether or not they would render better service if actually enrolled on the army roster, ‘The “team work” of tue army and navy which is a consistent policy with Uncle Sam is being followed along with other up-to-date ideas in the operations on the Gulf coast. Co-operation be- tween military and naval forces is, of course, an axiom with all the great powers of the world, but many of the European nations which have no very extensive sea coasts have not given the attention to thin that has been bestowed in the United States. It will be remembered that:in most recent war games on the Atlantic coast there was joint responsibility between the two arms of the service. However many persons had litle expectation that such concerted action would be advisable when planning operations not in reference to a foe from overseas, but rela- tive to possible disturbance In a neighbor repub- le on our own continent. In this respect the present activity has proven somethiag of a rey- elation, But {t has been realized that not only can the warshipe render a service by a patrol of the Gulf coast but are also a factor in that they can land for shore service thousands of seamen, trained by regular small arms practice for serv- ice as infantrymen and light artillerymen. One of the marvels of the recent quick work in the southwest is found in the very creditable manner in which the commissary department has met the respopstbilities suddenly thrust up- on it, Here again there has been most gratify- ing contrast to the conditions of the Spanish war period, but it must be remembered that Uncle Sam has made very tangible progress these past few years in the very vital provlems of subsisting troops in the field. The army has made most advantageous use of fireless cooking by means of fireless cookers on wheels, designed to cook the food while the military force to which the equipment is attached fs on the march and to have the meal, piping hot and ready to serve the minute the force halts for the noon- day respite or to pitch camp at night. There has been plenty of work too, for the en- gineer corps of the army in this “Texas cam- paign” for there have been big camps to lay out and to lay out such sites in various sizes up to a divisional camp covering 800 acres means an immense amount of work for the surveying corps and the map makers in the field. The en- gineers are also likely to find some opportunity for their searchlight work,—including that with their new portable searchlights conveyed by au- tomiobile trucks and ere the “war game” is con- cluded they are likely to have more or less prac- tice in bridge building. And finally the opera- tions of 20,000 soldiers in the field cannot fail to afford its share of work for the hospital corps —the more so by reason of the effect upon the health of many of the officers and mem of so sudden a change from a cold to a warm climate. And the best part of all this practical try-out of our military preparedness is that not only will the rank and file get experience but the higher officers of the service from Gen. Leonard Wood, down, will personally direct or observe the important movements, thereby learning at first band the tactical and strategic lessons tm volved. FRENCH METHODS OF COOKING These Two Ideas in Serving Potatoes May Be of Interest to American Housewives. Pommes Hollandaise——For a family of four boll six good-sized white pota- toes; peel and cut them into quarters; put them in a porcelain-lined pan with a tablespoonful of butter and a pinch of finely chopped parsley; season with salt and white pepper and warm them thoroughly without browning. Servo on a hot dish. Potato Quennelles or Croquettes.— Peel, wash and drain six medium-sized mealy potatoes; cut them in quarters, put them in a saucepan, cover them with water, add a little salt, cook for 30 minutes and drain. Then beat the potatoes up in a bowl or mortar with an ounce of fresh butter, and when they are well mashed add the yolks of three eggs. Season with salt, pepper and a tiny bit of grated nutmeg; mix all well and then divide into 12 or more parts, shaping each round or like a cork, Dip the croquettes separately into raw beaten egg; roll in finely Powdered bread crumbs, and fry a golden color\in boiling olive ofl for three or more minutes, Serve on a folded napkin with mashed sprigs of parsley alongside. USEFUL HINTS FOR THE COOK Small Thinge, but They Mean Much In the Preparation of Really Successful Meal. When cooking eggs always break them separately in a cup, for one bad egg will spoil all that have been broken before, For poaching or fry- ing, it is better to break them singly in a saucer, from which they can be easily slipped into the pan without breaking the yolk. | A tablespoon of “vinegar, and a little salt should be added to each pint of boiling water used for poach- ing eggs, ‘There {s much nourishment, also medicinal properties, in fish, and as a Tule it is cheaper than meat. If fresh fish cannot be obtained, salt fish, it properly cooked, {s quite as nutritious. Too much cannot be said about the nutritive qualities of cornmeal, which ought to be used more than it is in every household. | Dried peas and beans also rank jtigh among the cheapest and most nutritious foods. Beans that are old require longer soaking than last year's crop. Never fall to add 9 little salt In the water in which they are put to fe Sago and Currant Pudding. A quarter of a pound of sago, a quarter of a pound of cleaned cur rants, slx good cooking apples, ‘one heaping tablespoonful of butter, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, . half of a lemon. Put the sago into a saucepan with four cupfuls of cold water, and boil until the sago becomes trans- parent, stirring all the time; next add the thin rind of the half lemon, the currants, and the sugar. Butter a pudding dish, put in the apples (pre- viously peeled, cored and sliced), and pour over these the sago preparation. Put the butter in small pleces on the top, and bake until the apples are ten- jer. Serve with a good custard sauce. Walnut Catsup. There are various recipes for ma king this relish. The following will be found a good one: Select fine firm nuts; they are best when fresh and, soft. Pound them well, reducing them to a pulp, then put to soak in vinegar enough to well cover. Add to this after two hours two tablespoonfuls of salt, one teaspoonful of horserad- Ish, one teacupful of mustard seed and garlic, two ounces of allspice, two ounces of cloves, two ounces of nut- meg, one ounce of black pepper and two ounces of celery seed. Boll all for an hour. Then strain through a hair sieve and bottle, sealing the covers. | If a pan is burned or blackened, rub the inside of {t with a hard crust of bread dipped in salt and afterward! wash it with hot soda and water. ‘Add a little soda to the water im which you wash your plates and dishes. The soda loosens the grease. ‘on them and gives the china a good, shiny surface. Be very careful to keep the lids of ‘saucepans clean, for the flavor of one dish may cling to a lid which has ‘not ‘been washed and spoil a second dish which is prepared in the same pan. Wash a saucepan in plenty of hot water; but never wash cake tins or frying pans. Wipe them well with a piece of paper, which is afterward burned, and polish them with a dry cloth. Here are a few rules it would be well to cut out and paste in your kitchen. They are hints about wash- ing, and will give much success in the affairs of that very {mportant region. of the home. Pudding cloths, jelly bags and so on should be well washed, scalded and hung up to dry. It is not neces- sary to fron them, but they should be smoothed and folded before they are replaced in the drawer. Stand saucepans, fish kettles, etc. in front of the fire for a few minutes: after washing them, so that they may be thoroughly dried inside. This makes them, last longer and helps to ‘Keep them in good condition. W. N. MILLER, Editor. Residence 1401 West 23d Street. Office: 630 N. Main Street. Residence Phone, Market 1641.

Ada Coulter, Plaintiff R. B. McWilliams, Atty. for Plaintiff Attested J. B. Fishback, Clerk City Court --- The Qualnt Belluga. Cavira can be made of the roe 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 Astracan throw away the flesh—which is whiter than veal and vernality—and preserve only the spawn, 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 swims about for provender. --- TABOR CASH PRIZES $15.

MILLER, Editor 630 N. Main St., Wichita, Kan. Agents wanted everywhere TEACHERS' TRAIN WRECKED ELEVEN WERE KILLED NEAR EASTON, PA. The Train Carried 168 Persons—Of the Ten in Hospitals Three May Die. Easton, Pa.—Eleven persons lost their lives in the school teachers' special excursion train that was derailed and burned on the Pennsylvania railroad at Martin's Creek. Three of the dead have been identified. The bodies of six others are in the morgue and two male passengers are missing. It is expected that their bones will be found in the debris. Three of the ten injured in the Easton hospital probably will die. Officials of the Pennsylvania railroad who declined to give the exact cause of the wreck, declared that it was almost miraculous that more of the 168 excursionists did not lose their lives. A. P. Gest, division superintendent, said that in his opinion the fire that swept the entire train was caused by the simultaneous bursting of the gas tanks on the cars and instant ignition from friction. There was no oil tank near the train. The accident was probably due to a weak track and the high speed of the excursion train In rounding a curve. The roadbed was soft at this point and the rails and ties appear to have been old. When the swift express train struck this part of the track the rails gave way. BUT 1910 NICKELS ARE GOOD Some One Caused a Lot of Trouble by Starting a Rumor That None Were Coined That Year. Washington.—Some joker in the Middle West has caused the banks, treasury, the secret service and a lot of other folk much trouble by spreading a story that the government coined no nickels in 1910 and that every five-cent piece in circulation bearing that date must therefore be counterfeit. The fact is that the mints coined 30,169,953 nickels in 1910 and about $1,000,000 worth of those coins are in circulation. For the last two days the mint bureau and the secret service have been besieged with calls for help from banks of the Middle West. Many of the genuine coins have been sent to Washington as counterfeit. RAILROADS REBATED $1,413,000 That is the Amount Commerce Commission Investigators Allege Was Returned at Cleveland. Washington, D. C. — Preliminary figures have been compiled by the interstate commerce commission's investigators showing the amounts which the government alleges have been illegally rebated in the recent cases at Cleveland. Between April 1, 1908, and July 31, 1909, it is alleged $480,000 was rebated by the Pennsylvania railroad to shippers of which $133,000 is said to have been paid subsidiaries of the United States Steel corporation. Between January 1, 1908, and June 30, 1909, it is alleged, more than $798,000 was rebated to the Carnegie Steel company by the Bessemer & Lake Erie railroad. QUICK REPORT ON RECIPROCITY The Intention is Announced to Push the Measure and Get it to the Senate as Soon as Possible. Washington, D. C.—"It is the intention of the finance committee to press the reciprocity measure to a speedy report. There is a general desire to get it into the senate at the earliest possible moment, and we are working hard to accomplish that result. There is no good reason why there should be any delay and I certainly am not in favor of holding the bill in committee." The foregoing was the statement made, following the first session of the finance committee, by Senator Penrose, the new chairman. No Immunity Baths. Columbus, Ohio.—Ohio legislators who hoped by testifying before the grand jury now investigating alleged bribery in the assembly to escape conviction by means of an immunity bath, were disappointed when Prosecuting Attorney Turner and Attorney General Hogan refused to accept their testimony.

Chicago Evening Post The Idea of Making a Star Pitcher Cut Grass in the Afternoon. MR. BORAH GOT QUICK ACTION POPULAR ELECTION OF SENATORS BEFORE SENATE. Judiciary Committee Made a Favorable Report in Record Time—Is Now Unfinished Business. Washington, D. C.—A marked victory for popular election of senators was achieved by Senator Borah in record time, when the proposed constitutional amendment was favorably reported by the committee judiciary. The measure now takes its place at the head of the senate calendar. The action of the committee came as a surprise, even to the most sanguine friends of this great reform. When the committee met, not even Mr. Borah thought it would be possible to pry out the resolution until after it had taken the usual committee course. Senators Root, Dillingham, and Clark were prompt to ask for delay. They insisted that the matter ought to take its natural course. The resolution was not new to senators. Mr. Borah pointed out. It had been debated long and exhaustively during the last session and he insisted that the committee act at once. Somewhat to his own surprise he had his way about it. When the vote was taken the committee was recorded as follows: In favor—Bacon, Chilton, Culberson and Overman, Democrats; Borah, Brown and Cummins, Republicans. Against reporting the resolution—Clark of Wyoming, Brandegee, Dillingham, Root and Sutherland all Republicans. FOR THE McNAMARA DEFENSE The American Federation of Labor Will Take an Active Part in Defending Accused Men. Indianapolis.

J. McNamara and his brother, James, who are under arrest in California, charged with complicity in a number of dynamiting outrages. Peaches and Strawberries Safe. Kansas City, Mo—According to information received by Kansas City southern officials, the strawberry crop in southwest Missouri did not suffer from the frost. The frost, according to the road's weather bulletins, did not extend south of Pittsburg, Kan. The indications are that the peach crop also was uninjured. A heavier yield than ever before known is expected from the Ozark region and northern Arkansas. Railroads Get the Cash New York, N. Y.—Railroads representing probably two-thirds of the total mileage of the country have borrowed since the first of the year the enormous amount of $427,410,000. Add to this the $100,000,000 the Missouri Pacific system is arranging to borrow in order to finance the extensive improvements and the grand total for the year will exceed that of any similar period for more than a decade.

OHIO LEGISLATURE UNDER FIRE Forty Members Charged With Bribery —Lobbyists Must Tell What They Know of Wrong Doing. Columbus, Ohio. — The Franklin county grand jury met to consider the wholesale charges of bribery involving about 40 members of the Ohio legislature. The matter was taken before the grand jury instead of a legislative committee on the advice of Governor Harmon and others in order to prevent any accused members from escaping punishment by an "immunity bath." Scores of witnesses have been summoned and it is said the jury may make a partial report some time soon. Officers of state organizations interested in legislation before this assembly have been summoned to tell what they know of efforts to hold them up by members. They include officers of such bodies as the state board of commerce, the Anti-Saloon league, the Personal Liberty league and heads of large corporations. DECISION ON FOREST RESERVES State Laws Do Not Govern and Stockmen Must Have Permits to Use Lands. Washington, D. C.-By holding that the federal government without consent of the state affected may set aside vast areas of public lands as a forest reserve and that such reserve is not subject to the state fencing laws, the supreme court of the United States settled two burning Western issues. Stockmen of the West lost a hard fought contest when the supreme court also decided that indictments be brought against persons grazing stock on forest reserve without permits. The First Installment of Democratic Employes Begin Work at the Capitol. Washington—Climbing the long stairs of the capitol with reluctant feet Saturday, the advance guard of the deposed office holders wended their gloomy way out to the cold world. Twenty-five policemen, janitors and elevator conductors were replaced by loyal Democrats who have been fighting madly for the favored places. Fifty more will go today and fifty each day thereafter until all the Republicans have left. BANGOR ME. PARTLY BURNED At Last Reports $6,000,000 Worth of Property Had Been Destroyed—Dynamite Failed to Stop It. Bangor, Me.—Property valued at upwards of $6,000,000 was destroyed, hundreds of persons made homeless and almost the entire business section of the city devastated in the first five hours of a fire which, at last reports, firemen were getting under control, although it still burned fiercely in places.

Oldest Military Company Savannah, Georgia.—Members of the Chatham artillery, the oldest active volunteer military company in the United States, and one of the Nation's most historic batteries, celebrated their 125th anniversary as an organization with a banquet.

Nebraska Bank Robbers Got $1,500. Hastings, Nebraska.—The Bank of Rosemond was entered by robbers and the safe was blown after the third explosion. The robbers got $1,500 and escaped without leaving any clew as to their identity. Washington, D. C.—Protection and free trade were the themes of debate in the house over the Democratic bill to put agricultural implements, certain food products and manufactured articles on the free list. PUT SENATORS TO A TEST President Taft Is Making the Reciprocity Bill a Party Measure—Squarely Up to Senate. Washington.—The administration is marshaling its forces in the senate for the Canadian treaty bfh. The president will known finally when the measure comes up for passage what reliance may be paced in the friendship of the senators who have assumed the guardianship of the administration's interests in the past. For it is recognized here in Washington that having made the treaty an administration issue and called the extra session for its passage, failure in the house of the administration's friends would be fatal to the prospects of the party under his leadership. So there will be no compromise and no sidestepping the question. The Democratic house having accepted the bill as it came from the president, without, as was declared in the house debate, "the dotting of an I" or the crossing of a "t," the responsibility is checked up to the senate direct and plain. The Reputicans either must pass the bill or humiliate the administration. MEXICO CITY IS THREATENED If Peace Negotiations Fail Insurrectos Will Make an Effort to Take the Capital. Mexico City, Mexico. While peace negotiations are pending between Gen. Madero and President Diaz in the mountains of northern Chihuahua armies of the insurrectors are almost within striking distance of the Mexican capital. The latest and boldest strike was the capture of the city of Durango, capital of Durango state. It was reported to Gen. Cosio, the war minister, that the rebels are now concentrating about Cuernayaca. Should they capture that strategic point they would be practically at the gates of Mexico City. There are now less than 3,000 federal soldiers to defend the national capital and the rebel forces are so scattered and so well entrenched that it is practically impossible to move additional reinforcements into the city. THE PRESIDENT COMING WEST He Plans to Visit Kansas City September 25 on His Way to Kansas City, Missouri—President William Taft has accepted an invitation to stop in Kansas City September 25 on his way to Hutchinson, Kan., to visit the state fair. The invitation came from an organization here which calls itself the Kansas City Press club. A dispatch from Washington said that so far as arranged the president will spend the entire day in Kansas City, although Secretary Hilles had not completed the dates for the president's trip. It is possible that the arrangements to 'be made later will change the order as to the Kansas City visit, but the president will spend at least a part of the day here. SENT WARSHIPS TO CHINA The Revolution is Spreading and They Go to Protect Americans. Washington, D. C.—Dispatches from China say the anti-Manchu revolution has extended from Kwang Tung province, in which Hong Kong and Canton, to the Fukien province, in which is the city of Amoy. These provinces are the closest of any part of China to the Philippine islands. United States warships already are on the way to Canton to protect Americans, and the state department at Washington cabled Rear Admiral Hubbard, commander-in-chief of the Asiatic fleet, to send more vessels if they are needed. BIG TRUST CASES MAY GO OVER Unless Decisions Are Announced May 15 or May 29 They Must Wait Until October. Washington, D.
