c~HlLLlcoTHE, MISSOURI.

A very large congregation of frineds,
including Prof. Joe E. Hereford, Miss
Scottie Hereford, Prof. and Mrs. Joe
E. Hereford, Jr.; Mr.. Neal Hereford,
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Estella Woods and
Mrs. Emma Green of Kansas City,
Mo-; Mr.. and Mrs. Gudgell and daugh-
ter and Mrs. Frazier of Ludlow, Mo-,
and Mr.. Kay Kiles of Brookfield, Mo-,
gathered at Bethel A. NJ. E. Church
last Sunday at 10 a. m. to pay the
last tribute of affection to a kind and
loyal soul which passed out at Kan.
sas City, Mo-, November Is. The SER
vices conducted by the pastor were of
an extremely simple and exalted char,
acter. The sermon by Rev. J. H. Ward,
which included many particulars OF
Miss Jessie Herriford's activities
throughout her life, was most appro.
pirate. 1t was a singlarly comprehen.
sive analysis of her unusual character
And it is true that the going out of a
soul like Miss Hereford is a distinct
loss, not only to her family and friends
and the Church in which she was so
long and favorably known, but to the
race at large, of which she was an in
fluential teacher. As the dirge was
played at the conclusion of the ser
vices and the many and beautiful flo
raj tributes of love were removed
from every side of the bier, we re.
called with tenderness the many oc.
casions upon which in Bethel Church
the deceased had come to worship.
Slowly the procession passed through
the town she loved in her childhood
and young womanhood and memories
of which she so fondly cherished
through life. And there beside her
mother, where flowers bloom, the re,
mains were committed to their last
resting place.

This unsolicited letter was
handed to us by Mr.. Upton at
the close of our examination,
and after his board had examin-
ed every certificate in force by
the American Woodmen. When
it is remembered that not a half
dozen fr%aternals have so high a
valuation, we should all rejoice
at this wonderful achievement
of Negro big business.
Mr.. l.. H. Lightner,
Supreme Clerk, American
Woodmen,
Denver, Colo.
Dear Sir:
1t affords me great pleasure
to inform you that after care
fully validating your certificates
for the closed calendar year, l
find the American Woodmen

F~raternals of America with a
valuation of 112.1 per cent.
When it is considered that a
large per cent. of the Fraternal
Societies of the country have a
valuation of less than rs per
cent, you are especially to be
congratulated for the very ex-
cellent standing of the American
Woodmen.
Very truly yours,
JOHN H. UPTON,
Actuary.
This letter proves to you the statu
f this society. Then you shout
raste no time to become a member.

NATIONAL DEFENSE
 PLANS DISCUSSED
HOUSE COMMITTEE WORKS ON DETAILS OF THE S80OO0O,oUo
 MILITARY BUDGET.

Washington.-Wh subeommtt- tee of the Senate Military Committee continued the accumulation of data and opinions of army officers on uHl- versal military training, House com mittees worked on details of the Seoe'- GOO. 1000 military budget for 1918, and the Senate Public Lands Committee was informed that all efforts to reach a compromise with the Navy Depart ment on legislation affecting navy oil lands had again failed
 Senator Pittman of Nayada, chair man of subcommittee appointed to confer with navy officials, said efforts would now be made to pass oil land measures considered proper by Con gress over the objection of the depart ment. Western senators expressed in dignation al the attitude of the navy.
 The controversy is over proposed relief for claimants OF oil land lhclud- ed in naval petroleum reserve No. , in California. The department has held that passage of the pending bill would threaten the nayy's oil reserve supply and make it dangerous to build oil-burning battleeraft in future
 The Senate military subcommittee heard Col stephen NJ Foote of the coast artillery school and Gol. Charles D. Rhodes of the mounted service school Both strongly favored uniyef- sal service legislation and agreed that the present volunteer system, particu- larly the national guard feature, Was a failure. Col. Foote presented plan of his own. providing three months summer training for each of four years for all available youths aged 17 years A million boys could be given this training annually. he said al cost of about S100.000, 000
 Col Rhodes decared the dual con. trol by federal and state governments over the national guard rendered it an unavoidable system. He thought every state would come to the establishment of eonstabulary force for its own use
 Brig. Gen. Crozier, chief of army ordnance. told the House Military Committee that European var orders were crowding American army con. tracts out of private intuition plants. There was little eagerness among manufacturers. he said, to get the gov. ernment's business. A vast sum would be required to fit government arsenaIs to turn out wartime needs of the army, Gen Crozier estimated. add. ing that he favored continuance of the practice Of fostering private plants for this reason.

WEBB.KENYON LAW
 HELD TO BE VALID
RULING IS MADE BY UNITED STATE SUPREME COURT AT
 WASHINGTON.
PREVENT LIQUOR SHIPMENTS
3tates May Now Prohibit Possession, Receipt, Sale and Use of lntoxIcat- ing Liquor and Not Be Hampered
 By Interstate Commerce.

Washington.-In the most sweeping ef all decisions upholding prohibition laws the Supreme Court upheld as constitutional and valid the Webb Kenyon law prohibiting shipments or liquor from wet" to dry" states. IL also sustained West Virginia's recent amendment to her law prohibiting i'm portation in interstate commerce of liquor for personal use.
 After having been vetoed by Presi- dent Taft, who held it unconstitution- al, and having been repassed by Con- gress over his veto. the law was sus- tained by the Supreme Court by a vote of to 2. Leaders of the prohibi- tion say it is second only in import ance to the proposed constitutional amendment.
 Lawyers for the liquor interests who heard the decision admitted it upheld and applied the law in it's fullest sense"
 Chief Justice White announced the majority opinion, to which Justices
  Justice McReynolds, while agreeing with the majority decision, did not concur in the opinion.
 The all-reaching power of the gov ernment over liquor is settled" said the chef justice in announcing the de- cision.
 There was no intention of Con- gress to forbid individual use of liq- uor. The purpose of this act was to cut out by the roots the practice of permitting violation of state liquor laws. We have no doubt that Con gress has completed authority to pre- vent paralyzing of state authority Congress exerted a power to co-ordi- nate the national with the state au- thority.'
 Wayne E. B. Wheeler, attorney for the Anti-Saloon League of America, said:
 The states may now prohibit the possession, receipt. sale and use of in toxieating liquor and not be hampered by the agencies of interstate com merce.'

R1YtheYille.

BlyIneVlllSt-
 An enormous fertile area of land be- tween the St. Francis and Little r1v- CTS east of Big Lake, will be openel up by this drainage project. In recent months tremendous demands have been experienced for lands in North east Arkansas, and such is the condl- tion that little doubt Is felt that the drained lands will be cleared up and converted into profitable farms as fast as they become fit for cultivation.
 In addition to construction of more than 500 miles of canals and ditches, plans for the district contemplate util- ization of existing channels of Little River and Right Hand Chute, as far as possible. Tn order to do this to the best advantage, it will be necessary to divert part of the flow of Little River into Right Hand Chute and pth into the outlet channel of Drainage Dis trict No. g, of Mississippi county.
 Drainage on colossal scale is to be undertaken in the Keystone Drainage District of Arkansas in which 280,000 acres of land in Poinsett. Craighead and Mississippi counties is to be re- claimed
 Plans for the system of 300 miles of canals, which will constitute the second largest drainage system in the United States, Is being prepared by the Morgan Engineering Company of Memphis They will be filed with the commissioners of the drainage district at Blytheyille, Ark, within 30 days.
 Cost of the improvements likely will run into the millions.
 Located in extreme Northeast Ar kansas, the Keystone District is imme- dfately south of the Little River Dis trict in Missouri. the largest drainage system in the United States. Though part Of the water from the Little River District is carried into the Mississippi river, a large portion of it's water flows south into Arkansas through Little River
 This very fact almost necessitated action on the part of residents of Mississippi, Craighead and Poinsett counties, as a matter of protection from the water dumped on them by the Missouri district.
