There is only one answer to base ball-the club that can make the most runs is the one that wins. FIX change. Not at all, The Cardinals lead the National league in run mak- ing by 50 precious tallies, and both Tigers and White Sox lead the Red sox in runs. The only one answer to baseball is games won and lost.

A Peep at the Records.

You've heard quite bit this season about Alexander, Scott, Mamaux, Wood and several others in the School of Peg.
 You haven't heard So much about Gene Dale and Fred Toney, and yet these two Reds deserve a place only a brief span back of Philadelphia's femous Seventy-Five.
 The Reds have not been tearing up the circuit this season, and yet Fred Toney has won IA games with Her zog's troupe, against defeats; while Dale has blown himself to IS vic- tories. against 10 defeats-records that place them next to Alexander and Mamaux.

people who are achieving. The
people who have got plenty of time,
and some to spare, and is. always
ready to help the other fellow out
with his job, is not likely to con-
tribute much towards making the
world better.
The world is not looking for peo-
pie with an overplus of time, but for
busy people, because it is always the
busiest people who are doing the
things that count for the most good
in life
A good proportion of the people we
meet are in need of a lift of some
sort. Some need material assistance.
work, food, fuel. Others need to be
cheered, and others still to have their
good resolutions stiffened and con-
firmed.
We can not always tell when the
person with whom we are chatting
is in need of a lift, and the only safe
way is for us to be continually CIV
ing out our best. 1t would be a dis
aster, indeed, if an, overcast face add
ed new weight of depression to the
heart already overburdened, or one
careless speech confirmed some wa
vering listener in the belief that it
did not pay to try to do right. The
sunny, sincere soul, always giving of
its best, gives many a lift of which il
never knows.

THE TEST.

The test of the'%nan is the fight h,
makes.
The grit that he daily shows;
The way that he stands on his feet
and takes
Fate's numerous bumps and blows
A coward can smile when there's
naught to fear,
When nothing his progress bars,
But it takes a man to stand I'D and
cheer
When some other fellow stars.
1t isn't victory, after all,
But the fight that brother makes,
The man who, driven against the wall,
Still stands up erect and takes
The blows of fate with his head held
high,
Bleeding and bruised and pale.
Is the man who will win in the by
and-by,
For he isn't afraid to fail
It's the bumps you get and the iolts
you get,
And the shocks that your courage
stands,
The hours of sorrow and vain regret,
The prize that escapes our hands,
That test your mettle and prove your
worth;
1t isn't the blows you DEAL
But the blows you take, on the good
old earth,
That show If your stuff is real.

BARTLETT AGRICULTURAL AT
DALTON, MO.

At our seventh annual meeting of
trustees in st. Louis June 25, 1915,
the Hon. Charles Nagel, through whose
influence and representations, he him
self giving the last $3.50, our $4,000
Busch boys building has been com
pleted and paid for, spoke deeply and
feelingly Of the practical good results
and the important mission of this
school.
Recently gifts by Mrs. and Judge w.
X. James, Mrs. and Mr.. Herschel Bart
lett, and Mrs. Latham Bartlett, st.
Joseph, Mo-, in valuable farm land
valued at $4,000, was also announced
by the principal at this meeting. Be.
sides a budget for the year 1856 of
$4,000 was shouldered by the white
trustees.
These practically made contribu-
tions by our white friends totalling
over $4,000 at this meeting. These
were secured, not by any buster or
faxed showing, but by the earnest
hard work with good results and the
clean character of the school during
the seven years.
Moreover, Gov. E. W. Majors had
just previous to this meeting appoint
ed the principal of this school upon the
good record made by the school, a
delegate, and the only Negro delegate
to the Universal Corn Exposition to
be held in San Francisco August and
6, and the trustees of the school voted
his expenses.
At this meeting the colored men,
bers of the board of trustees in order
to show their appreciation, not only
of the work and results of the school,
but of what great hearted white men
and women are giving to promote
and develop it, voted to appeal to our
colored men and women for the S2,500
necessary for the dairy and stock barn
the school so badly needs and which
all the trustees voted to be the next
permanent building to get for the
school before the coming winter if
possible.
Those willing to help will send their
contributions either to me or to Mr..
w. c. Gordon, 2649-51 Morgan street,
st. Louis, Mo-, or to Mr.. Alex Hicks,
merchant, Columbia, Mo-, or to our
school t reasurer, Mr.. Herschel Bart
lett, Ninth and Felix streets, st. Jo-
seph, Mo. Your aid, however small
will greatly help not only this first
country life school for Missouri and
Western states colored people, but
will encourage white friends to do
more for people who will help them
selves. Mr.. John Lange of Kansas
City has just given $1OO in cash for
the barn. Sincerely,

THE NEWSPAPERS COURAGE.

lite NEWSFAtEH'S COOhAGE.
Once In a while somebody gets the
idea that the reason the local paper
does not report every scandal that
comes to public knowledge is because
the publisher is afraid. That's not
the reason. The reputable newspaper
takes no delight in giving publicity to
those things that have brought dis.
grace to some family or heartache to
some wife or mother. 1t is much more
pleasant to record the good things
that happen, to tell about incidents
that tend to make life more eudurable
and that uplift rather than tear down,
that bring Joy instead of sorrow,
pride instead of heartache. So if you
don't always find in our paper the de-
lectable bit of gossip that would
doubtless make good reading" and
If you are inclined to blame the edit
or because he doesn't print all the
news" consider that some home has
had enough worry over unfortunate
happenings, and that the gossips and
scandal mongers of the community
can and will gladly and ghoulishly
give sufficient publicity to the details
to satisfy the lowest tastes.-Ex-

DR.. MATTHEWS REFUTEs RUMoR
OF PREJUDICE AT PANAMA
PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL
EXPOSITION.

Several inquiries have been made
since my arrival here last Saturday
concerning the Panama-Pacific Inter
national exposition at San Francisco.
Among other things that have been
asked about the exposition was this
question: "Is it fact, DR.. Matthews,
that colored people are Disseminated
against and shown discourtesies by
the exposition people?"
l wish to state that so far as the
exposition management and managers
are concerned there has not been any
other than the kindest attention shown
to all visitors of the exposition ire
spective of race, color or creed. /
live in San Francisco, being one of
the pastors in charge, and am per-
sonally acquainted with Mr.. Moore, the
president of the fair commission
board, Mr.. James A. Barr, the direct
or of congresses and conventions, and
several other of the prominent Off
cials, and they each have offered the
most flattering inducements to our
people and to all people to attend what
is known as the worlds greatest in
ternational exposition. And for the
good name of my fair city 1 must say
that it would be unlike San Francisco
and her generous spirit to be in any
way discourteous to her visitors. San
Francisco has always been cosmo-
politan city, and she has not the time
nor the inclination to stoop to petty
things, such as has been charged by
some of the Eastern papers.
