TOPEKA. Kan, Nov. 12.-Ten
acres OF goldfish bring Eugene Cate

annually than Is cleaned UP on the
average l60-acre farm. hut raising
and marketing ten acres OF goldfish
is no lazy mans job. In fact. Mr..
Cate puts In as many days work
In a year as does the average farm

differs from that of the farmer
His heavy work begins In the fall.
just about the time the heavy farm
work Is over for the season. and IL
lasts all winter. Wading in water
hip deep during the winter months
and sorting fish with the bare hands
are some OF the Inconvenience suf-
fered by the goldfish producer.
For many years Mr.. Cate has op-
Grated a private hatchery in Reno
County. near the little town OF
Langdon. He took up a homestead
near the foot OF the sand hills, some
of the land being covered with boys
and springs.
He built one pond and stocked II
with fish. expecting TO sell them on
the market Soon there came a de-
mand for small fish for ponds and
creeks. and he quit raising for the
market and went into the regular
hatchery business.
He gradually enlarged his hatch
cry until now II covers Is acres and
In composed OF Is ponds. The In
dustry grew to such proportions
that Mr.. Cate has turned his grain
farm over TO his son and now de-
votes his time exclusively to the
production OF nsh.
For some years he raised game
fish and shipped them all over the
West. Notwithstanding that nearly
every State has q hsh hatchery
which supplies small Ash for its
streams, ponds and lakes free Of

disposing Of his hatch. He still sup

also TO the Federal Government.

Certain experimental methods
have made It possible not only TO
follow the physiological changes In

learn something of their nature"
Prof. Child writes.
These animals grow old a. do
men. but they are also capable OF
growing young. The process of az

perimentalIy. and old animals
brought back to a condition OF youth

today. But news regarding more
important circumstances surround.

lists.

At the convention of colored Bap-
fists, held last week in Newberry, at
the Bethlehem Baptist church, of
which the Rev. ]. E. Kirkland is the
pastor. More than 500 delegates were
enrolled. They were formally vel
coined by lis honQ, Mayor q. F.
Wright and also by other prominent
citizens.
The convention exists for the fur
therance of Christian education, mis-
sions-home and foreign-Sunday
school work and temperance. In ad-
dition to a number of secondary
schools, the convention as State
organization is primarily interested in
the Benedict college at Columbia and
the Morris college at Sumter. Bene-
dict college is supported wholly by
Northern benevolence. Morris college
was founded and is wholly supported
by the negro Baptists themselves.
They report that they raised, during
the past year, approximately $4,000,
for this their college while in this
last session, subscriptions to the
amountrof $4,000 were received.
The Rev. VIM. Howard of Darling
ton and the Rev J. w. Easley of Green
vile were appointed as State mission
aries to work under this convention
and the home mission board of the
Southern Baptist convention.
The Rev. A. R. Robinson of Phil
adelphia, the chairman OF the foreign
mission board. of negro Baptists of
America, was present and delivered
an enthusiastic address in behalf of
the cause represented. To the Rev.
Dr.. R.. w. Baylor of Columbia, the
foreign mission work for the State of
South Carolina was assigned.
The officers elected at the sessions
were: Rev. J. j. Durham, LII. D,
Columbia, president; Rev. G. W. Ran
ford, D. D., Aiken, vice president; Rev.
H. Watkins; Belton, secretary; Rev.
E. W. Bowen, Spartanburg, treasurer.
The sermons and addresses as a
whole furnished an ocular demonstra-
tion of the wonderful advancement
these negro leaders have made in
education and Christian civilization.
Their, department in Newberry was
exemplary.
