FooD.sAvlNG FARMERS

The people of Texas alone have
saved, In the last three months,
enough wheat to feed the American
army In France for one month This
fine achievement has been accom-
plished by the state going on an alb
solutely wheatless basis from the
middle OF April until the milling OF
the new crop.
TO appreciate this generous sacri'
flee at It's full value IL must be re-
membered that Texas Is an agricul-
tural state. itself an important wheat
producer. A large proportion of those
Texans must have had In their bins
wheat -four of their own raising. They
abstained from eating their own
wheat and gave 1t to help feed our
allies. That. II will be admitted, Is a
more difficult and commendable act
than the abstention of mere con.
sumer who has no wheat except what
he buys.
II appears all the more admirable
when compared with the attitude OBJ
served in some farmers in other
states. One of them was heard to re
mark recently: I'VE have all.wheat
bread. as usual. You see, we have
our own -four, and so we don't have
to bother about the food regulations.
The priucipIe Of tha thing npvat
seemed to occur to him.
As matter OF fact, not only are
farmers families supposed to observe
the same rules laid down for city foil
but their failure to do SO is NOTHING
less than u sneaking advantage taker
OF fellow-citizens less fortunately sit
uated. They should learn from the
Texas farmers,

Thursday evening In front of the

The Sunday services were well at

son, has been away for two Sundays
and the congregations and members
enjoyed his sermons. ... There have
been been two additions to the
church recently . Rev. Wilson has
just returned from the New Era Dis

sion both financially and spiritually.

work under the leadership of Mrs.

The termination of the p~astorate of
no minister of the city occasions more
sincere regret than hat of Rev. F. d.
Wells, who is closing up his fifth and
last year at Bethel Church and who
will hold the final Quarterly meeting
of the year tomorrow. All of Kansas
City, and especially African Method
lists, should be there to testify by
their presence their appreciation of
the remarkable and inspiring work
done by this stalwart young leader
of the race and bid him Gods speed
and the same continued degree of sue.
cess at his next appointment.
Since coming here DR.. Wells has
graduated as Valedictorian from the
Theological Department of Western
University. He is president of the
Interdenominational Ministerial ALI
ance, Deputy Commissioner of Negro
Boy Scouts of Missouri and Kansas
and is Vice Chairman of the Negro
Commission to Superintend the cree
ton of the Jackson County Home for
Aged and Infirm Negroes. Before
coming to this city, DR.. Wells built
at Moberly, Mo-, the most beautiful
and modern church in the North Mis-.
souri, Conference. And when he came
to Bethel he found eighteen members,
which he has increased to 2S6, paying
off a large part OF the cumbersome
debt and preparing plans for a new
modern and c%ommodious House of
Worship. an every public movement
he has been a prominent factor. Kan
sas City can i'll afford to lose a strong
and popular leader like Rev. Wells
and many African Methodists are sim
cerely hoping that the good Bishop
may see his way to give Kansas City
the continued use of his splendid abil-
ity and leadership.

LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL
An Opportunity for Men Who
May Be Called

Today schools are being opened to all men between the ages of
eighteen and fortyfve years in which special training is being given
in order that they may be in position to render more efficient service
in the event they volunteer or are drafted. Enrolling in these classes
does not mean that any man is to be singled out and drafted because
of his identification with government work. 1t does mean, however,
that he will in all probability be permitted to remain in school until
he has volunteered o r been drafted just IS he would have been had
he had no connection with government work.
The Kansas City Polytechnic Institute has enrolled white men in
its various branches of engineering and in all cases they have been
able 10 get preferred classification. Lincoln High School wants to
help our Cohored men.
What does this special training mean to the recipient? 1t means
this: you have specialized in some line of work that will be of value
to the government and will therefore be preferred to those whose
talents are not developed in any particular capacity. When a certain
degree of efficiency has been reached cards will be issued showing
what has been accomplished. If you volunteer or if you are drafted
in the service your worth to the government is greater if you are
trained than il could be otherwise. All special work begun in school
is continued when the camp has been reached.
All men between the ages of eighteen and fortyfive years who are
interested and would enroll in any of the following branches; RADIO
ENGINEERING, AUTO MECHANICS, OPERATING OF MOTOR We
HCLES, DRAFTING AND AEROPLANE CARPENTRY, will signify
their intention to do so by communicating with the Principal of Lin
