Need More Dairymen.
The committee also believes that
there is a good opening for dairymen
in the vicinity of Topeka. City Milk
Inspector Campbell, when interviewed
on the subject by State Journal rep
resentative, had the following to say:
''The Shawnee County Dairymen's
association has set the price of milk
at is cents a gallon. Some of the
local milk depots, due to the keen COM
petition which exists and the scarcity
of milk, are already offering 1 8 and 10
cents a gallon. That goes to prove
that we need more and better cows in
the vicinity of Topeka, and more
dairymen also.
eff there was any surplus the deal
ers could dispose of it readily in Kan
sas City. The dealers have been able
to buy milk at but one of the small
towns near Topeka. as the people sur
rounding these places are engaged in
general farming. Topeka Is supplying
these towns around here with ice
cream, and the Continental Creamery
company has shipped as far as Den
YER.
II. A Borman made the statement
at one time before the city council
that it would tickle him to death to
be able to pay $4,000 year for milk,
but instead of that he has been able
to buy only about 1000 pounds of milk
daily. He paid 40 cents a pound for
butter fat this summer in whole sweet
milk. The report is that he will offer
more this winter
1.-THE cows in Shawnee county are
not as good as those found in Wiscon-
sin and other states, a great many of
them being of an inferior grade from
a dairyman's standpoint.

FEEGCE LOD1E.

at Odd Fellows Hall to conduct a
most impressive service as a mem.
orial to their departed dead during the
past twelve months. The arrange
ments were in charge Of Messrs. Noah
d. Thompson and Morris Lewis.
The recent sudden death Of Bro
Wyatt B. Johnson, who had been
Treasurer of the lodge for many
years. was the incident that brought
to the mind OF the members OF this
branch Of the order he thought that
L was time to halt and count the
ossss by death and on a Sunday
morning draw beautiful lessons from
the lives Of the departed
The services was held in the lodge
hall and many not members of the
order, for the first time had oppor-
tunity to witness services there. a
most interested audience gathered
and but for the lack Of a collection"
was all that any church service could
hope for. There was a sermon, there
was prayer, there was beautiful sing
ing. and sacred music from an organ.
The program was as follows: Organ

Of the best periodicals Of Europe and

We are happy to say that while at
one time there was a tendency to
dread the word Negro. and take up
the word "Afro-American, as we have
already said, this latter term is grad
uaIly losing ground, as is also the
term "Colored people" which applies
to any of the darker races.
No one who has any real knowl-
edge of the American Negro will deny
that Prof W. E. B. Dubois. OF Atlanta
UniVersitye, and Professor Kelly Mil
Ter, of Howard University, are men
Of learning and standing and have
done as much as any two other Ne
groes in this country to mold senti-
ment; both these gentlemen use tbs
word Negro always as the titles Of a
few Of their publications win show.
Professor Dubois has the following
Mortality among Negroes in cities;
The Negro in Business"
The college-bred Negro"
The Negro artisan"
The Negro church." etc.
Professor Kelly Miller has the fol-
lowing:
Disfranchisement Of the Negro"
The Educated NeTo's Mission"
Early Negro convention" move
ment, etc.
And what is true Of these is also of
very nearly all the Negro bishops and
leading Negro newspapers.
II the term Negro" is used in op-
robrium We expect to dignity It, as
did the early Christians their name. OF |
he Methodists did theirs. These have
become some Of the most honored OF
he earth.
The Negro has learned it is not |
what you call him but what he is.
We believe the most appropriate and
most generally accepted. and that
which the best thinkers of our race
nave settled upon, is not '9he Colored
people" nor %Afro-Amercan.' but
,lain simple Negro" q person Of
Ifrdcan descent, but spelled with
arge an" Cali us Negroes.
