Kildeer is in Dunn county, and in
the center Of community that for
years has been changing from stock

announcement Of probable branch
line into the country, have been stor-

Today there is over 800, 900 bushels
of wheat, largely that from the past
three years, that is lying In great
piles or hastily constructed bins along
the railroad. More wheat is being
hauled into the town every day.
The Northern Pacific cannot supply
cars fast enough for loading. And the
loading operation is perhaps the most
unique ever adopted for a temporary
plan. Two big platforms have been
built and scrapers, the kind used for
excavation work. scoop the grain from
the piles, UP the platform and down

carrying eighty-four cars and total
of over 100000 bushels Of wheat was

WALTERS A. n E. ZION CHURCH.
Corner Ssth and Dearborn Streets.
Rev. h. J. Calls, Pastor.
Our special revival services are con-
tinuing to meet with great success.
Rev. s. s. Scissor who is assisting Us
in this effort, has been preae hing stir
ring gospel sermons and his diseourses
have been meeting with great favor.
During our meetings several persons
have been converted and reclaimed to
the Faith. Some few have seen fit to
east their lots in with u and have
connected themselves with our church.
The attendance and interest has kept
up in our evening services continually.
Our evening services are beginning at
eight O'Clock and are preceded by a
half hours service Of prayer and
praise.
Last Sunday morning the pastor Oe-
eupied the pulpit and delivered q ser.
mon that reached the very NsouIS of
those who were fortunate enough 20 be
present. Rev. Scissor preached at the
afternoon and evening services and
was well equal to the task of sustain.
ing the reputation he had made for
himself during the previous week.
The services for Sunday win. be as
usual and it Is hoped that ever y mem
Der OF the church win make q special
effort and sacrifice to attend the meet
ings and bring some one else with
them. After two weeks Of special
religious services in which our atten-
ton has been turned wholly to things
spiritual We should have such MEETINGS
Sunday as should long Be remembered
for the inspiration and encouragement
Of Believers and for the salvation Of
the UnsaEed.-s'C."

An Opportunity For Everybody.

Being under the direct patronage Of
King Frederick August Of Saxony the
exhibition is q rare opportunity for
anyone having some regular or irreg-
ular things relating to the book in
dustry and graphic arts for exhibition.
While many great concerns throughout
the world are sending their exhibits, it
should not be forgotten, that there is
one department not for rent to bust
ness exhibitors, it is open only for ex-
position of exhibition materials, that
will constitute afterwards valuable
part of the great Museum of the Book
Industry at Leipzig, the only institu-
ton of its kind in the world, when the
exhibition is over. Anyone may add
to this department printings, writings,
manuscripts, photos, pictures, book and
graphies with no, cost to himself.
School plans and pictures of stu
dent classes, professors, teachers and
buildings, photos and models of schools,
colleges, universities and publishing
houses will still be heartily accepted;
likewise drawings, lessons and papers
of scholars and students. Authors and
publishing houses should send OF all
books and pamphlets they have pub
lished good copy with order blanks
so that every exhibition-visjtor may
have a chance to order the exhibits
shown. Also editors should send the
best they have. The name of the send
er should always be mentioned upon
the exhibit. Here is an excellent OPP
pOrtunity for the COlored people of
America and for those who have devOt-
ed their lives to the culture work
among the COlored people, to demon
strate what they have already done
and what they could do in the future.
Another important feature while col
Letting exhibition materials is that il
will have great value fer the future,
as the great Museum library of Leipzig
will participate in the exhibits when
the fair is over. Readers of these lines
who have some materials of any kind
as mentioned above for this department
should direct it to Pastor Paul Hentsch,
Leipzig Lindenau, Gundorferstr. I, Ger
many, who as the only German special
ist in Afro-Amerieanism is especially
interested in the affairs Of the Negro
people in the United States.

The collecting of the exhibition ma
terials for the international Exposition
oftbe Book Industry and Graphic Arts,
which viii take place April to Novem-
Der 1914 at the old University town of
Leipsie, Germany, goes on very rapidly.
A very important part Of the exposition
will be the department Of the exhibits
relating to the culture Of the human
races of all times and nations. From
prehistoric times and primitive cul-
lures the plan touches all people who
ever lived on earth, up to Gutenberg,
the father of the modern printing sci
enee, and to our days. Here the old
Chinese and japanese printing proc
esses viii be shown in operation. Uni
versity and colleges will be shown in
their day work with class exercises,
laboratory work and student papers.
This part viii interest any visitor of
the exhibition. OF no less importance
are the different branches of the Book
Industry and graphies. One of them
will show "The Woman in the Book
Industry" another the art of illustra-
tion and earieature, lithographies,
photography, stenOgraphy, eolors, wood
carvings, book making and book trade,
musical exhibits, writing materials,
stereOtypy, eleetrOtypy, einematOgraph-
les, newspapers, advertising, canvass
ing, libraries, measures for the protee-
ton and welfare of the workers. Peo-
pie interested in public school matters
will find a rare opportunity to study
the development of the child from its
first breath up to the time when it
leaves the sehoolroom. The black chill
dren of Australia viii show their graph
ie arts as well as those from Greenland,
the. United States and Germany.
sixty-three Glasses.
The whole plan of the exhibition is
now divided into 6S classes and several
hundred groups with a historical and
technical department. Models and ap-
paratus for demonstrating will be
shown. The publications Of booksellers
and music publishers viii be brought
directly to the notice of the public
through the medium Of the libraries
and reading rooms, through lectures,
public readings, Rotations and concert
reeitals, so that anything in our minds
will be under the banner of the ''Blaek
Art" Many learned societies and
associations connected with the book
industry will have their congresses and
meetings at the exhibition ground.

and head resident Of Abraham Lincoln
Center, has propounded to the officials
of oakwoods cemetery. His letter was
written several days ago and he is still

The query was the result Of Mr..
jones' perusal Of q folder mailed to
him from the Offices Of the cemetery
and containing q recital Of its advant-
ages as place Of last rest for Chica-
goans. Near the end was q paragraph
which set forth that the association did
not desire among its patrons those
whose skins are other than white, and
its effect on the man who heads an in

freed the slaves was immediate. BE at

The Church Of the Lord Jesus Christ
Is to have an unusual emphasis in the
City of Chicago through q concerted
effort of the Christians and ehurch-go-
ing people on Sunday, Feb. !, 1914 It
will not be the effort Of any single con-
gregation to secure the attendance Of
its members and friends upon the
preaching Of some great church digni-
tary or whirlwind evangelist; it viii
not be the effort Of any one denomina-
ton to test its strength numerically
or spiritually through an appeal to the
pastor of every locality in the eityj it
is to be the effort Of all the people Of
all the denominations to reach and
interest all the church people to unite
in a day Of worship in Gods house
What An Opportunity For Christians
What shall this Go-to-Church Day
mean to the churches among Negroesf
Shall it be that we shall not plan and
work at this task to make this an
occasion of great spiritual and moral
benedietion to the Negroes Of the City
of Chicagoi Shall we wait for the
people of any race to come to our
neighborhoods and 60 from door to
door among our people and urge at
tendance upon our churehesi If we
remain apathetie this is exactly what
will take place to the shame Of our
professions of christianity.
We are fortunate that for this move
ment our preachers are already organ
lied as The Negro Preachers Union of
Chicago and vicinity. Last Monday
in their monthly meeting the president,
Rev. John W. Robinson Of st. Mark
NJ. E. church called their attention to
the "Go-to- Church Day" and the Union
Immediately decided to unite to make
this day a success in all our churches.
The Union will hold a special meeting
at the Wabash Ave. Y. N. G. A. next
Tuesday at l p. m. to which all our
pastors are invited.
The following committee was appoint
ed to arrange for the GO-tO-Chureh Day
among US: Dr.. A. J. Carey, DR.. E. T.
Martin, Father ]. B. NASSAU, Rev.
Moses Jackson, Rev. E. G. Lawrence,
DR.. J. C. Anderson, Rev. h. Knight,
Rev. II. NJ. Carol, and Rev. J. L.
Blaekshear.
1t is hoped that the Negro Press of
the city viii emphasize this movement
in their columns; that the business men
among us will aid the committee on
publicity by placing streamers on their
wagons, automobiles, etc. There should
be planned a monster parade for the
Saturday night before. There should
be raised Immediately at least s100
for the purpose of advertisements,
hangers, stiekers, etc.
Let US take a hold Of this in an
earnest and vigorous manner. Let no
one excel us in heroic sacrifice and
devotion to the success of this day.
It means success for the church which
will pay the priee.-"R."

HEALTH NOTES.

Crowded conditions create community
dangers.
Kentucky has passed q law prohibit
ing the public drinking cup.
1t is q fine idea to teach children to
think, but teaching them at the same
time to use their hands helps them
wonderfully in their thinking processes.
Every school in the state of Oregon,
whether in town or country, has its
school garden where the children are
taught to use their hands and at the
same time to think out the things their
hands are doing. In these schools a
certain part of every day the pupils
spend in the open air, where they laugh
and talk and work and think and have
a good time generally. The important
thing about this method of education
is that it tends to keep the children
physically well and strong. In short
it is q splendid idea from a health
standpoint. Don't you think soi
Another excellent feature of the Ore
gOn idea is that the public schools of
that state are beautiful and attractive
places for the reason that the children
keep the grounds and surroundings in
good order and with trees, shrubbery
and flowers make of them Yeritable
beauty spots that attract the delighted
attention of all who see them. And all
this is done without in any way inter
fering with or eurtailing the ehildren's
study hours. Their work out OF doors
under the sun and sky only tends to
broaden their views of life and helps
them to grow bigger and stronger in
both body and mind every day.
The STOPPING habit, when either sit
ting or standing, is one easily formed
and if persisted in, like all other habits,
hard to break. It is also an injurious
habit, affecting bodily health and vigor
and destroying the grace and symmetry
Of the human form. Physicians tell us
that continual STOPPING throws the
spine out Of alignment, the body out
Of its proper poise, the circulation of
the blood in the head is disturbed, the
lungs are cramped and the work Of the
digestive organs seriously hindered. In
addition, every one knows that round,
STOPPING shoulders and sunken chest
make those who have them appear in
ferior both in physical health and stat
ure. The person who hsbitually walks
and sits erect presents the appearance
Of vigor and alertness. Ths fact is,
too, that such people as q rule have
better health and are more vigorous
than are those who are stoop shoulder
ed and because Of that fact are lacking
in chest development.
The Commissioner of Health Of Gin
einnRti, o., is issuing certificates Of in
speetion to the bakeries Of that city.
The certificates are good for thirty days
only and are revocable at any time for
cause by the health officer. In discuss
ing his action, Dr.. lands says that
he sees no reason why the sanitary
bakery should not have a certificate to
that effect issued by the Department
Of Health. "I am also Of the opin-
ion," says Dr.. lands, "that as we are
determined to have clean bakeries in
Cincinnati, it win be up to the bakers
themselves to decide what kind of Ger.
tifcates they get. We shall advertise
the dirty bakeries and see no reason
why we should not certify to the clean
ones"
