WYE are expecting "a very hard
w fight with Georgia today.
We have in no way under
estimated their strength. From all
reports that have reached US they
have A team that will give any
Southern team tussle to win. and
we are looking for that tussle.
Vanderbilt enters in the game in
fairly good physical condition.
There will be no lack Of prepare
ton on orr part although. ~
course. with the schedule in front
Of US. We have not been able to
bring the men up to the keenest
edge for this fight.
We can not afford to reach our
top speed this early in the season
and risk going stale for the Vir-
ginia. Harvard, Auburn and Sc
vance games
The team is not yet perfected IN
team play, either. as much Of the
early season has been devoted to
fundamentals.
Vanderbilt faces what is prob
ably the hardest schedule we have
ever undertaken by Southern
team, but We realize that the
Georgia game win be one Of our
hardest, and one Of the games on
which the Southern championship
will depend
Georgia gave us one of our hard
est fights on Dudley field last year
and McWhorter was especially hard
TO stop. We have heard that Geor-
gia is much stronger this year than
last, and that naturally gives us
cause for some uneasiness about
the game.
We hope, and l might say we ex-
pect to win, but we viii be satisfied
with bare victory We are work
ing for the seasons record this
year, rather than for any particular
game. but that means that we will
put up the very best game we can
in all our big contests
Team Fast, But Light.
AS to the Vanderbilt team this
year, IT is rather light, but is excep-
tionally fast. We have a backfeld
trio in Hardage. Collins and Skies
that equals in speed any that Van
derbilt has ever had, although It
may lack some OF the driving power
that marked the heavy hackflelds
of six and seven years ago.
The quarterbaok's place, left va TO-
cant by Ray Morrison, was a great
problem early in the year. but
think that in Curtin and Robbins
we have a satisfactory solution of
it, They are unfortunate in one
way, coming just after Morrison.

New York. The June meeting Of the
Utopia Neighborhood club in this city,
held the last week In the month. was
largely attended. The Rev. DIR. Will
liam Fl. Brooks, pastor of st. Marks
N. e. church, and Mrs. B. Kemp took
part in the opening exercises, which
were held in the Mount Oliset Baptist
church, DR.. w. P. Hayes pastor.
The meeting was held in the interest
of the Detention Home For Colored
Girls. Assistant Attorney General
William 81. Lewis Of Washington and
Ernest ]. Coulter, former clerk of the
children's court in this city, Were the
chief speakers for the occasion.
In his forcefur address, which was
listened to attentively, Mr.. Lewis said:
"Of the many graduates Of Amherst
college none are doing more effective
service than those engaged in the work
Of social service. Prominently among
them is the Rev. @. Fl. Parkhurst. who
gave to New York city It's first awak-
ening along social lines. District At
torney Whitman is alSo doing most
excellent work along the lines of so
cial service.
Throughout the country there are
graduates from this institution who
are doing excellent work for the up.
lift Of the human family generally.
It is far easier to condemn than to
save, and 1t Is through just such agen
cies as women's clubs that this work
is to be accomplished.
Under the social system which we
live in the evil surrounding the young
people Of our race Is destined to disap-
pear through the courts of social evo-
luton. 1t Is impossible for the white
people of this country to save them
selves without saving us. We should
not have to appeal to the public for
funds to carry on an institution of
this kind for colored girls, but there
should be homes provided and support
ed by the state for all of its citizens
alike"
Mr.. Coulter said: Ten years ago
the children of New York were treated
as If they were thieves, thugs or drunk
ards. Conditions are greatly improved
now, and the credit belongs to the no
BILE woman who first conceived the idea
of properly dealing with children"
Mr.. Coulter further said that If the
children Of our cities are not good we
as citizens are responsible. because we
should surround them with the best in
fuences.
1--WE hear so much Of the delinquent
boy and girl. but want to tell you
that the number Of delinquent parents
would astound you, and hope the day
is not far distant when there will be
an institution for such parents.
There are fewer delinquent boys and
girls among the colored people than
any other race This is remarkable In
view Of the fact that many of their
parents labor under such tremendous
opposition and obstacles"

Extent Of colored Soldiers Record.
The war record of the colored sol

Of San Juan hill. The late President
William Mckinley commissioned dur

266 colored officers. and there were
more than $1,000 colored soldiers who
gladly shouldered their muskets and

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.

For the week ending September I,
1912. Des Moines, In. :,
In respect to temperature and mois-
ture the past week was about all
that could be desired for the adj
vancement Of corn and for general
farm work. The lack of moisture is
however, beginning to retard plow-
ing in some parts of the state. The
temperature was considerable above,
and the rainfall below the normal
until Saturday night, when copious
showers occurred in many localities.
Corn made very rapid progress to-
ward maturity, and gives promise of
an exceptionally largo yield if no
damaging frost occurs before Octo-
Der 10th, which is the average date
of the first killingfrost of autumn
at Des. Moines The effect of dry
weather was beginning to show on
pastures and potatoes, but the show
ers on the night Of August 81, and
September l, will be of great bene-
fit. Good progress was made in
stacking and threshing, and prac-
tically all of the small grain is now
in stack or has been threshed.
