Business Failures

Commercial statistics indicate
that business is a great hazard,
Failure is inevitable for the aver
age business man wether he is
engaged commercially OF in manu-
featuring.
Bankruptcy, said a director of
the Union Bank of Boston, is like
death. and almost as certain.
Business enterprises fall single
and alone and are thus forgotten,
but there is no escape from il.
A person who looked through
the probate Office In the same
city found that ninety percent of
all tbe estates settled there were
insolvent. Yet more discouraging
to the commercial adventurer
were the conclusions of Governor
Briggs and Secretary Calhoun,
who a few years ago gave it as
their deliberate opinion, after
diligent inquiry, that out of every
hundred young men who come
from the country to seek their
fortunes in the city ninety-nine
fail of success. To all these
statements may be added the opin-
ions of some of the shrewdest and
most experienced business men of
New York and Philadelphia, that
not more than one percent of the
best class of merchants succeed
without failing in the former city,
and that not more than two per-
cent of the merchants of the latter
retire on an independence after

NO RECORD OF
NELLIE FENTON
Hutchinson Girl Who Took
Acid Not Known at
Hospital

Attempts at suicide are eyiden-
tly of little Importance to the men
who run the city hospitals at Kan
sas City, or there is some slip on
the part of the record keeper.
Nellie Francis Fenton, the Hutch
inson girl who was found after she
had taken a dose of carbolic acid
there in an attempt to commit sui
eide, has disappeared so far as her
parents here can discover, and the
emergency hospital writes that
there is no record that she was
ever there.
G. t. Fenton, the father, recei-
we'd a letter yesterday signed by
E. w. Davis, the hospital clerk,
saying that they had no record of
the girl. The Kansas City papers
carried a story of the girls attempt
at self destruction. A long dis
lance telephone message to the
Gazette from the general hospital
Wednesday night said the girl
was improving.
Her sister, Elma Fenton, arrived
here from Liberal yesterday. She
intended to continue on to Kan

letter deferred her. The parents

Kansas Pottery

Kansas University announces
that after a year of experimenting
in pottery making they have a.
chieved success. That the exper-
mental stage is passed and that
the time for commercial expansion
is not far distant. Machinery for
working the clay has been installed
which grinds, washes and mixes
the clay, which is taken from the
side OF Mount. Dread. Pottery
naturally accompanies the cement
construction of houses. The great
potteries of America, and the
lockwood at CINCINNATI ranks first
in the world, have passed from the
making of vases and other objects
to art to include the manufacture
of tile for floors, hearths, fireplace
etc. They also make the entire
mantel, and many other useful
necessities of the modern home.
Great artists are being attracted
to and developed in this compare
lively new American industry.
This Kansas pottery will be watch
ed with much interest by many
people. During the holidays we
noticed a collection of vases, from
one of our best pottteries, inwhich
the prices ranged from one to sew
eral hundred dollars each.

This Conference is for the purpose
OF discussing tue moral, civil and
spiritual condition of the Negro, to
study sociological problems and to de-
wise some means Of working along
practical lines for. the uplift Of the
race, especially through religious
channels. We realize that the colored
minister is the real leader Of his peo-
pie and that there should be co-opera-
ton between him and all others who
are striving for the racial uplift. We
believe that the colored minister holds
the real key to the situation, and for
this reason we desire to have heart

irrespective Of denominations.
Such practical questions as these
will be discussed: What Is the moral

week, concluding arrangements for an
extended missionary tour of the Mid
ole West In the interest of his thriving
institution that is doing so much sub
stantial work for the uplift Of the Ne
gro people of the South and Of the
nation. The. plan or this great school
Is known everywhere.
DIR. Shepard, having in mind the
needs of the great masses ofthe Negro
race, has consented to issue a call for
a conference Of the ministers of the
united States, to meet at the National
Religious Training School in Durham
N. G., July s, 1912. The conference
Will last one week, and the visitors
VIII be guests OF the school, without
charge or expense of any kind. Every
possible courtesy will be extended by
the institution and by the citizens
OF Durham, who are among the most
progressive in the entire Southland
1t Is certain that great good can be
accomplished by an interchange of ex-
periences and ideas among the recog-
nlzed leaders of race thought and NOR
ais, and the meeting will doubtless
be attended by the most influential
clergymen from all sections of the
country. The lure Of the cities, the
weakness Of the race along economic
lines, and the dangerous tendency to-
ward disease and the increased temp
tations growing out Of our modern
life, render such a conference a crying
necessity for the near future. Dr.
