NEGRO BAPTISTS PREACH LOYALTY
 AND EDUCATION Yesterdays Meeting Wit nesses Many Strong Ad- dresses in Lofty Causes. JUBILEE SERMON
 A MASTERPIECE Splendid Progress of the Negro Thru the Years From Savagery to
 Present Excellent
 Standing.
lBy CHAs. sTEWART.ls

Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president o1 the Arkansas Baptist college, and sec retary of the home mission board ot the National Baptist convention preached the sermon at the negro Baptist state convention last night anC it was in keeping with the 50th jubi lee.
 In opening the services last night special music was rendered by a choil of 50 voices, conducted by Profs. F, J Work, and M. B. Holloway. Jubilee songs were used and brought forth with many shouts and praises from the large congregation.
 Revs. F. o. Bryant, M. B. Goodwin and M. F. Weatherspoon, took special part in the religious opening.
 Thanks White People.
 After preaching a strong sermon Dr. Booker closed by saying:
 "I am quite unwilling to close this sermon without giving the white man credit for some part of the progress which we have been truthfully recit- ing for ourselves all the week.
 "In the first place, our fathers were members of the various white churches during slavery times. True, many o1 them belong to the churches of their masters, which masters did not belong to the old Baptist denomination; but so soon as their time came to choose they chose the church of democracy
 "The first associational secretaries we ever had were white men; the first church clerks we ever had were white men, many of whom did not know God as we'll as we did, but they knew letters, and could aid us nightly in the oragnic life of our denomination I was surprised to find that the South ern Baptist convention long before war was declared between the states, provided small funds for advisory mis- sionary work among the colored peo- ple on a thousand plantations in the South. I repeat: am quite unwilling to close this sermon, and this weeks event without giving our white breth- ren a part and parcel in this great lot of ours. At this very time, l am re- ceiving from twelve hundred, to flt- teen hundred dollars quarter from home mission board of the Southren1 Baptist convention to be distributed among the various missionaries of the various Southern states, that the good work might go on. and Arkansas IS getting her full quota of that appro- priation."
 Will Raise $25,0O0.
 Yesterday was full day for the negro Baptist, and there were many strong addresses delivered, and much business transacted. All the depart ments of the work in the state were at the meetings yesterday and each was looking forward to raising for

WOULD PUT WAR RELIEF IN ONE
 IMMENSE FUND
Wisconsin Town Would Have Everybody "Go
 Across or Come Across. ?

A special from Kenosha, Wis, to the, Chicago Tribue, under date of November 16, says: ls.sa N .sss <. ss, sa
 The city of Kenosha today offered tQ the nation 2 new plan for meeting the costs of war benevolences. Thou sands of men and women in Keno ehA are enilsting as members of 8 new corporation, known as "the Pa triots' fund.-"
 Generalization of war relief work is the object with the elimination of all wasted effort and expense involved in separate money raising campaigns for individual purposes. Bond issues are the only exceptions made and the fund will meet all other legitimate re- quests for contributions.
 ssGo Across or Come Across" is the slogan of the organization.
 From now until the dove of peace lights thousands of Kenosha men and women will give up half hour of their time every week for the support ef the various movements to take care of the soldiers in the field and at the cantonments. This half hour is to be contributed to the one big central fund in cash.
 No Exemptions Allowed.
 ssIt is going to mean something over three hundred thousand dollars with something over twenty-two thousand working people at Kenosha contribut- inR. There will be no exemptions from payments.
 1Labor and capital have united with religious and fraternal organizations to make the movement success. It is indorsed by every church, every lodge, every labor union and every business organization in Kenosha and the slack er who fails to meet his obligation is already slated for business and social
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1917-11-23

Since this is the case it's much more sensible to go at is systematically than to grope our way along wasting time and effort that should be used in other channels.
 We've been to hysterical, too senti- mental. It is time to substitute one concerned movement for many scat tering seasons for as many different causes, but in their support by sep crate campaigns great deal of en- thusiasm has been developed only to be lost when the single aim has been attained.
 Consolidation always means con servation of both time and energy. The pledges recognize no possibility of deceit and they read until the war is won by America and through America"

isolation.
 The plan was conceived by Clark 8. Judd and presented firsr to the Manufacturers association of Keno. sha. The whole design of it was to put Kenosha and not few Keno. shans behind the war.
 When a fund is to be contributed to Kenosha's quota will be determined and check sent. This will close the incident against the meetings, banquets and drive, tactics ordinar. lily found necessary.
 The card system which has been adopted pledges the worker, the man who employs him, the retired capital. ist the shop girl and the retail clerk to give to the fund. In the factories Il. Is collected through the paymasters .Ahd sent to the control office month lly. In the shops and in offices of professional men it is collected by employees of the new corpol ation.
 Many Already Sign,
 Many persons signed the cards to- day. In some instances the entire employed forces of factories received the plan with cheers and signed. "Go Across or Come Across was the slo- gan seen all over Kenosha and thou sands 'came across"
 Kenosha's first patriotic half hour comes next Wednesday. At half past Ill o'clock whistles will sound in every industry in the city and for the next half hour all earnings will go to the fund. The first payment from the central fund will be the quota of Ken osha for the support of the work of the Y. M. c. A. in the war camps.
 2. G. Simmons, leader of Kenosha manufactures, who by personal ef- forts put Kenosha on top in the sale of the Liberty loan bonds. is the chair. man of the central committee. His executive officer is MT. Judd. Before the plan was launched every indus. trial organization in the city had pledged to itself to give to the fund an amount equal to the total amount to be paid by all of it's employees and this pledge had been obtained from practically every corporation in the city.
 ~COld Business'' Is Idea.
 We are exploiting cold business proposition, said MT. Simmons in. troducng the plan, which we hope will conserve the patriotic energy of Kenosha and the whole United States. We've just begun to fight this war and were in for ceveral years of it.

Crop Reports Greatest Ever Known

Reports coming to Colorado's g
State Board OF Immigration from all
parts OF the state, together with the
detailed reports of the bureau OF
crop estimates of the Department of
Agriculture. indicate that the crops
grown in Colorado this year will be
worth in the neighborhood Of 40
per cent more than those Of 1915.
The value OF Colorado's 1915 abri-
cultural output was the largest on
record to that date.
These reports are based upon es-
Inmates Of yields OF principal crops
as made by the Bureau OF Crop Es-
Inmates. and prices at the market
time, as indicated by present prices,
price tendencies and in some instan-
ces the prices which certain pp-
ducts are now bringing for future
delivery. 1t is safe to say that, un-
less some unforeseen and unprece-
dented damage occurs at this late
date, the states crops from farms
and orchards will be worth $780,
000,0 or more.
or course the yields will not be
40 per cent greater than last year,
since much of the increase in value
is due to higher prices. There is In
creased production. however, OF al
most all crops. The states fruit
crop this year will be very close to
the high record. The hay crop also
is very large. The bean crop shows
the greatest increase, being 347 per
cent greater in acreage than last
year.
This is due principally to the
large increase in acreage devoted to
the cultivation OF the Mexican pinto
bean In the eastern part of the state.
This increase in crop output has
been due largely to the appeals made
early in the season by the federal
and state governmental for maxi
mum production OF food products as
an aid to the conduct of the war.
The Colorado State Board OF Immi-
grafton made an appeal to people in
every county TO organize promptly
for increased production and the
campaign was put under way early.
The governors war council was or
ganized later. took over all this work
and has been OF much service to the
farmers Of the state in meeting the
many problems they encountered be-
cause of their attempts at increased
production at a time when seed was
scarce and high. labor hard to find
and farm implements all working al
full capacity.
