(Bx Convention Reporter

The Woman's convention of the
Southwestern Baptist association
(colored) Friday morning was
working hard to finish with
their work. They were hearing re-
ports of various committees. They
suspended the regular work to listen
a few minutes to Principal Reddick
on the great need of a special effort
to raise more funds for Americas
Institute before January / 1921.
Quite a number of the sisters eX-
pressed their endorsement of what
Principal Reddick had said.
When Bethseda's Missionary So
ciety reported the sum of SOB from
her senior and junior bands, 500
and IS respectively, Sister Wade, of
Marshallville, stirred the convention
with the declaration that next year
her society would prove that they
could raise as much money for the
cause as anybody else, Many like
remarks We're heard throughout the
body.
There was great inspiration Great
ed by the fine reports of the field
workers Of the convention. The
spirit of the convention to do more
than ever before was evident

MorehouseJColleg HeadITo
Address Colored Baptists

The greater part of the morning,
the brethren spent in board meet
ing. The board having adjourned
they resumed the hearing of reports
from churches.
Some prominent visitors to the As
ISOLATION are Dr. NJ A. Fountain,
Americas; Dr. W. G. Lee, Cuthbert
DR.. G. w Phillips, Americas; C. H.
Harold. Americas.
The feature of Friday nights SEES
sion will be the address of Prof John
Hope, Phi. D., president of Morehouse
College, Atlanta. 1t will be a rare
treat to hear DR.. Hope speak He is
a man of large information and
travel both in America and Europe.
And his wide experience and deep
scholarship make it worth while to
listen to him.
Thursday Afternoon
Deacon j. H. Hicks, Reynolds, Ga.
opened up the Thursday Afternoon
meeting. And after the season OF
prayer and praise, the report OF
churches was resumed. 1t riquired but
slight observation to detect that in.
terest in these reports is increasing
as the association draws toward its
close. A very lively scene was enact
ed in the house when the Bethesda

the crusade in Atlanta against reck-
less driving and other violations Of
traffic laws.
Councilman Al Martin has announc-
ed that he will introduce in council
next Monday a resolution calling for
the creation of a special investigat-
ing committee, the duty of which will
be to force a revision of restaurant
prices downward toward pre-wal
rates. Mr.. Martin is a restaurant pro-
prietor.

church, of this city, reported. The
New Hope church, rural body of
Houston, had reported on Wednesday
a contribution of $3.50. And Deacon
B. W. Warren in reporting for Be-
thesda, announced that her contribu-
ton was $I55 whereupon the pastor
of New Hope, the Rev. j. S. Patten,
of Macon arose and said, ''NeH Hope
sends up one hundred and fifty-five
dollars to equal Bethesda" Immedi-
ately two of his deacons, j. Manor
and E. Mckenzie had out their rolls
with the pastor to make his words
true. Then Deacon Warren exclaimed
I"Bethesda's money is one hun
dred and sixty dollars" The house
was wild with applause as the rival
delegates laid the additional coin up
on the table.
SO far, Bethesda and New Hope
have led in financial contributions.
But one of the most interesting
things to be seen in the association is
Moderator Staley urging delegates to
increase the amount sent by their
churches when that amount is rather
smaller than the moderator thinks it
should be- The delegates so urged US
ually make the required increase with
pleasure from their own purses.
Another pleasing feature of Thurs
day afternoons session was a progra
gram rendered by the Woman's Mis-
sionary society of Bethesda church.
This program illustrated to the asso-
citation the character of the work
done from time to time in their reg
ular weekly meetings and on pubic
occasions. Sister Reddick showed how
they conducted their Bible study
from week to week. Sister Eliza Be
thune read a paper on Missionary ac-
Invites, Sister L. L. Brown sang a So
10. There was trio sunk by three
little girls, Jamie Joiner, Lille Brown
and Mary Henderson. Sister A. L. La
mar pleased all by reading. Sister
B. E. Battle is the president of Be-
thesda society and had charge of this
program.
DIR. M. W. Reddick edited the au-
dience with brief history of Ameri-
Gus Institute. And in doing so he en-
deavored to prove to his hearers that
the institution is a "chIld of prayer
and faith" How the early fathers
did not know but prayed an trusted to
find those able to lead them. He
closed with an appeal to the members
of the association to stand by the in
stitution and raise $4,000 that would
enable him to secure for the school
$4,000 more now waiting in New
York until they have raised $4,000
Thursday Night
Every night is rally night at the
association. But Thursday night was
the banner night. But before the
rally in finance, there was a rally in
spiritual fervor.
After the usual devotions, Rev. r.
D. Ponder prayed and DR.. j. M. Nor
ris preacehd a sermon to the salts
faction of his vast audience. For all
available space in the building was
taken. Dr. Morris fully sustained his
reputation as a powerful preacher as
he taught the people from Psalms %;
"The Lord is my Shepherd" Rev. ]
N. Jackson again prayed,
In the financial rally these are the

PAY PROMPTLY
: ELECTRIC LIGHT BILLS

The city electric light commission
held meeting last night~to consider
the difficult problems it has to contend
with owing to the high price of coal
and labor necessary in operating the
plant. It is the aim of the commission
to furnish electric light and power at
the lowest possible price and as near
to the cost of production as possible.
It does not wish to increase rates to
consumers if it can be avoided. Gus
toners can aid the commission very
materially in keeping the electric light
plant running by paying their monthly
bills promptly. Many customers are
in the habit of delaying settlement of
the small monthly accounts until they
grow quite large and are not as easily
paid and. the electric light commission
is also deprived Of the use of the money
during the time of delinquency, max
ing it difficult to meet its obligations.
It is absolutely necessary therefore
that electric light patrons pay their
bills promptly or else higher rates will
have to be exacted.

Our bureau of agricultural eco.

give. a much better insight into the
supply and demand of agricultural pro

lead to more efficient marketing.

making a study Of necessary transport.

water, for the marketing of our farm
crops. The purpose of this bureau is
to get at the real facts in the transpor-

THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving is the time when we
Give prayers OF thanks for all we see
For all the joy that's come our way
With every week an every day;
An just to show our gratitude
We. load the table down with food
And go to work to eat our fill -
Till mother says We'll all be i'll.
I've stuffed myself dozen ways,
Through forty-two Thanksgivin' days;
Enough to kill ploughman's horse.
If turkey hurts q man, vow 800
I wonder how I've lived till now!
OF helpings I've had three or four,
An 4longed to pass my plate for more.
To measure all the pumpkin pie :.
I've risked my life to put away
In real observance of the day; -
If good things which the Lord provides,
And fixed up by a cook besides,
Can deal q man q fatal blow,
j should have died long years ago. s
I've ct preserves an candied vans,
An Hubbard squash an sugared hams
Enough to feed q regiment;
I've ct unto my hearts content,
An spite Of all the doctors say,
/ never suffered much that way,
So ] just let EN- eat their fill,
Drum sticks or wings or piece o. breast
Whichever part they like the best,
j load upon their plates an say,
Now get that back here right away,
Fat all you've got before you, then
Let out your belts--that is the way
To celebrate Thanksgiving Day" !

Valley Prize Grains
Minnesota Crop Improvement Doubles
Premium Award Allotment.

Interest in the farm crops exhibits
at the Red River Valley winter shows
to be held at Crookston in February
will be given considerable emphasis
this coming year through the direct
connection being effected between the
valley shows and the state shows held
by the Minnesota Crop Improvement
association. ~.
The latter association last year do:
mated $3.50 to the valley show to be
used for premium awards. A tele-
gram was received yesterday by G. H.
Zealand, secretary of the Minnesota
Red River Valley Development asso-
citation, from G.. G. Selvig at St. Paul
advising that $500 would be allotted to
the valley shows this year for grain
and potato awards. In consideration
of this, the Development Association
plans to try and send all first, second
and third prize winning exhibits at the
valley show to the Minnesota Crop Inn
provements associations show to be en-
tered in competition. =. .@.s Is
As the requirements for exhibition
at the Red River Valley shows call for
only two quart samples whereas the
state show exhibits must consist of
peck samples, it will be necessary for
the owners Of prize winning exhibits
to have, six additional quarts Of the
same kind of grain that can be added
to the two winning quarts at the vim
ter shows.
As grain and potato exhibits from
the Red River Valley have before car
ried off number Of the high honors at
the Crop Improvement association ex-
hibits. 1t is urged that growers give
particular attention to their exhibit
now so that enough grain of the same
kind as is exhibited at the winter shows
at Crokston will be: saved to make up
an exhibit for the state show. rs. 1
