We made our first stop at Fresno, a
city where they have plenty of fruit and
flowers, large vineyards and gig fields
Of grain. 1t is lovely county, where
nature has blessed the soil and carved
it to answer to the desire of mans
heart In this county there are many
Negroes who own their own farms, but
they are sadly behind in the city of
Fresno and have not pace with the city's
growth. They have three churches and
all are very we'll attended.
AT Fowler we have an energetic and
industrious colored population. Mr..
Gordon Young is one of the old pio-
neer residents and has several ranches
and city property Quite few Of our
people are doing well here.
AT Bakersfield we have a thriving
colored population, with two churches,
Baptist and Methodist. Rev John Price,
pastor Of thea NJ f. Church, is a
great factor in the community and all
like him. He has recently finished a
three thousand dollar structure and
was recently returned for another year.
He has model church organization.
Every boy works, and father too. He
has divided his members and friends up
into clubs and each works to make their
club outrank the others.
We were introduced to the Quarterly
Conference by the Presiding Elder and
made few remarks All the churches
and Sunday schools attend the Quar-
terly Conference and in fact this is a
real church going community, where the
old and young alike attend the House
Of God Bakersfield is indeed a real
progressive city and haven for our
people.

Well Known New York Book Dealer

burg Wrote Introduction.
Charles Fred Heartmann, an anti
Quarian and BOOKSELLER of New York
city, has brought out three volumes
de luxe dealing with Phillis Wheatley,
which collectors and book lovers will
appreciate because of their rarity. Mr.,
Hartmann is a German scholar and
former journalist who has travelled
much In Europe and, like a good jour
nalist. has made excellent use Of his
eyes and ears. He has long had the
idea in mind of doing justice to the
little African poetess who in her day
was lioniZed by the best class of Amer
leans and the nobility of England,
where she made an indelible impress
sion by her talents and genius as a
writer of poetry. says John E. Bruce
Grit"
There have been several editions Of
Miss Wheatley's poems published In
the United States and in England, but
there has been no such attempt made
as this of the altruistic German gentle
man to give this Negro girl her true
place in American literature-that OF
the first American pOetess, for no
white woman in this country, so far
as we have been able to discover, had
achieved any distinction as writer of
either prose or poetry at that period.
so that Phillis Wheatley was easily
first among American literary women
Of that day.
Mr.. Arthur A. Schomburg, secretary
of the Negro Society For Historical
Research. who collaborated with Mr.
Hartmann in the compilation of these
books. in his introduction to the poems
and letters of Phillis Wheatley cites
DR. Samuel Stanhope Smith QS1O IL
his essay on the variety Of complexion
and figure in the human species, who
said, answering Jefferson'S criticisms,
that religion had produced u "Phillis
Wheatley, but it could not produce
poet" and added that her poems were
below the dignity of criticism
To this Dr. Smith made answer as fol
lows: The poems OF Phillis Wheatley
a poor African slave taught to read by
the indulgent picty OF her mater, are
spoken of with infinite contempt. But
| will demand of Mr. jefferson or any
other man who is acquainted with
American planters how many of those
could have written poems equal t.
those of Phillis Wheatlcy" page 269

BAD SPOTS IN ROADS
Temporary Expedlents for Making
Them Passable.

Temporary repairs to roads are, or
at least should be, confined to emer-
gency measures. In proportion to the
results obtained, temporary work is
always expensive and is never justi-
fled by ordinary conditions. Unusual
conditions, however, often occur to
plague the road man. For example,
the closing of main highway to traf-
fic because of construction, repair, or
washouts may suddenly throw heavy
traffic for short time on little US.
ed and probably unimproved byway.
Clearly, in such a case temporary ex-
pedients are legitimate.
The most common troubles met with
in case of this kind are mudholes
and ruts if the soil is heavy, and
dust and loose sand if the soil is
light or sandy.
MudhOles the Chief Source OF Trouble,
On clay or gumbo road mudholes
usually cause the most trouble. AS
water is absolutely necessary for the
existence of a mudhole, any treatment,
whether temporary or permanent In
character, must provide for getting rid
OF the water. The first step is,
therefore, to dig a trench to the side
bitches. Furthermore, remove all of
the soft mud left in the mudhole. The
bottom OF the trench should be filled
with broken stone or coarse gravel
so as to provide drain to prevent
any further accumulation of water.
Gravel is the best material for filling
the old mudhole. If gravel is not
available, use the best earth at hand,
tamping it down in 8 or inch layers.
II possible, spread little gravel or
sand over the new fill, which should
be made slightly higher than the adj
| Joining road surface. The best treat
ment Of all, however, is to keep the
| drainage in good condition Serious
mudholes will then rarely develop.
Don't try to fill mudhole without
first draining out the water and re-
moving the soft mud Don't try to
fill it with large stones, because ii
this is done there will soon be two
mudholes instead of one. Don't try

to fill mudhole with sods or similar
material which absorb water readily.
On an earth or gravel road ruts are
best treated with the drag. Don't be
afraid of dragging too often during
rainy spell. If thin coat of sand
or gravel be spread over the road
surface when it has been softened
by rain and then worked in by traf-
fic and liberal use of the drag,
a poor earth road can be much i'm
proved and made to carry a surpris-
ingly heavy traffic for short time.
In contrast to the clay or gumbo
road, the sand road gives least trouble
during wet weather On sandy roads
anything that will prevent the free
movement of the sand particles will
be of value. AS long as the road is
damp, the surface tension of the cap
Hilary water acts as binder and
holds the separate grains of sand in
place All efforts should, therefore,
be directed toward preventing the
sandy places from drying out, or to
adding some binder. The addition of
clay furnishes a positive binder and
is really the best and most permanent
treatment. The addition of any fl
brous material such as straw, spent
tan bark, sage brush or pine needles
is of value and when spread on the
road and covered with thin coat of
sand or allowed to work into the sur
face, will make an almost impossible
sand road fairly good for time. But
the best way to treat a bad place,
whether on clay or a sand road, is
to treat it before it gets bad. I'M
mediate attention to small injuries
will prevent later prolonged attention
and extensive repairs to serious dam
