his studies and made fine record in
both the grammar and high schools.
graduating with honors.
After his graduation from tne high
school he entered the State university,
where as a student he made good by
the side of some of the most brilliant
students of both races. He made many
friends during his college days.
Having decided on his course in life,
he entered the medical school at How
ard university, Washington, being
eager to get the best training possible.
He graduated in 1899 in a class of
thirty-five. He was among the fortu-
nate in his class, because he was Sc
lected as an interTe for Freedman's
hospital. This Is an honor which
comes only to few and Is coveted
honor, because 1t better prepares a
man for practical service. In this ca
pacity he served for one year and
then returned to his home in Atchison
and took the state board examination,
which he passed successfully. His
worth and ability were soon recog
nized, and he was selected as the
health officer for Atchison county.
1t was In 1908 that he decided to To-
cate in what is destined to be the
greatest city in Kansas, Wichita. He
came with a reputation which he had
already made in his profession, and 1t
was not long before he had won the
confidence OF the people of the entire
community. DR. Brown is now a dep
uty health officer for Sedgwick county,
in which the city Of Wichita is located.
In his work he is often called into con-
sultation by the leaders Of both races,
who regard his opinion as being of
great value.
He is ever ready to give his time
and attention to matters for racial ad-
vancement In society, In public meet
ings and that which means the train
ing of the mind. helping the young
people to think, he Is always counted
as one of the best workers for their
good. He is one OF the organizers of
the Interstate Literary association, the
largest organization of its kind In this
part of the United States.
The term of Office is only for one
year; hence 1t was only in keeping
with the rules Of the organization that
Dr. Brown was allowed to retire. and
even then many expressed a desire to
have the rule changed. During the
past year and under his administra-
ton much good has been accomplished
through DR.. Browns efforts. He was
presented a handsome token Of esteem
by the association at the closing OF the
twenty-fifth annual session Of the as
ISOLATION. which meets In Kansas City
in December. 1917. Rumor has It IN
this section OF the country that DR..
Brown will soon lead a Washington
belle to the marriage altar.

REPORTING COST OF MILK.
New England Milk Producers are Prepar-
ing Statements.

Milk producers all over New England
are making reports for the New Eng.
land Milk Producers association on the
cost OF milk during the month of May;
and a surprising number of these show
an .sctual loss for every quart shipped.
Some, it is true, have made profit but
these are in a decided minority. The
principal reason for a deficit is in the
price of grain, which has scared to so
great an extent as to leave no room for
profit, even II, as in most cases, the
farmer does not charge his own time as
an item OF expense. Where less grain
is used an immediate effect is noticed
in lessened quantity of the milk and
the farmers are unanimous in declaring
that their only solution of the problem
lies in having cheaper grain or in Sc
curing higher prices.
This direct evidence of the increased
cost and decreased return to the farmers
is part of campaign of milk educa-
ton intended principally for public safe
ty committees and chambers OF com
merce, well as the great consuming pub
lie, which is to be conducted under the
auspices of the n. f. NJ. p. Al said Sec
rotary Richard Pattee, 1--WE believe war
preparations will greatly increase the de.
mand for the products of the dairymen
and it is necessary that there shall be
thorough understanding of the precari-
GUS situation OF the dairy industry under
present conditions, The aim of the pro-
ducers is to reduce costs, rather than
to increase prices, but the cooperation
of the public is necessary, in conjunction
with the various public bodies now
studying the case, else the world will
awaken some morning to find that 1t
Is impossible to secure more than
portion of the milk demanded by the
consumers in large cities. 1t is mneces-
sary to endeavor to make scare out
of the situation--the truth is sufficient,
but we aim to have all parties interested
know exactly how the matter lies in |
order that there may be no danger of
future suffering"

SEVERAL SHOTS FIRED
Before Suspected Thief Was Brought to
Halt.

Burlington, June 6.--P. M. Mckenna, a
soldier of G troop of the I'd cavalry, was
arrested yesterday morning after several
shots had been fired at him near the
camp ground OF the lst Vermont infan'
try. He is now in jail awaiting trial on
a charge of burglarizing the railroad sta
ton in Winoosk.
| McKenna, according to the statements
of the Winooski police, was discovered IN
a drunken condition opposite McGreev-
ey's drug store on Maletts Bay avenue
| by Officer Richilieu, who endeavored to
arouse him. The man was too far gone
to be awakened, however, and the officer
! went for assistance.
While the policeman had gone Mcken-
ma had evidently come to and when the
police returned there was no sign OF him
excepting his cap. There were other
signs in the way OF about 100 railroad
tickets which lay strewn about the
ground.
The police made search for the man
and went to the station to see If it had
been broken into. They learned that the
southeast window had been broken open
and the place rifed.
Station Agent Kellogg and Chef bar
Der were notified, with the result that a
thorough search was made. Burlington
and the officials at the post were notified
and net was drawn about the town,
with the result that McKenna was found
taking the short route from Winooski to
the post over the heights. When discov
red and ordered to halt McKenna broke
into run. The police fired several shots
at him in order to stop him and when
McKenna neared the camp ground of the
LIST Vermont some of the sentries ordered
him to halt and fired more shots at him.
Mckenna, however, did some fancy dodg
ing and was not stopped until a regular
soldier went to work on him with his
gun. None of the shots took effect, but
on seeing the regular, McKenna surren-
dered and went without opposition to the
Winooski lookup, where he spent the re-
mainder OF the night.
The police OF Winooski are satisfied
they have the right man from the fact
that McKenna, when arrested, was with
out cap and that the initials OF Mcken-
ma and his troop are in the cap which
was discovered lying where the man with
the tickets lay.
