RED GROSS MUST
 HAVE 5000 NAMES
Organization Has to More Than
 Double Membership

Nearly 5000 New Britain people must join the Red Cross in the annual roll call to be held during the period from Armistice Day to Thanksgiving Day, fl the work done by thie organization ln the city Is expected to be duplicated in tho coming year. Last year the organ. zation started out with a large surplus but demands were so great that this surplus has decreased until it is almost entirely gone,
 The entire membership in this city last year totaled l,65i; the membership of outlying districts such as NeWington Berlin, kensington, Plainville and Southington numbered 1,059, making q total in New Britain and vicinity of 2,713. Memberships at $1.00 each would be less than half the amount needed to carry on the work.
 A total of $7, ,96173 was expended last year by the local Red Cross in carrying on it's necessary work. The report of the expenditures for the past year is as follows:
 Service to veterans of the world

 Boy Scouts will distribute Red Cross posters to different places about the city this week, advertising the roll call. The following letter from the Chamber of Commerce also will be distributed by the scouts:

The State Colored Farm ers' Con-
gress has opened it's 18th annual ses-
sion under the auspices of the Ex-
tension Department of which G. II.
Waller is State leader. Because of
the unusual amount of interest and
activity eXerted over the State by
the Extension workers, the atten-
dance has run up far in excess Of
any number that has been known to
attend meetings of this kind at this
institution. Special features Of the
program are practical demonstrations
in various phases of farm life as re-
lates TO the making of tools, home
appliances and conyeniences which
are necessary "a the proper care
and keeping of poultry, hogs and
other live stock on The farm as

JOHNSON WHISTLE ANOTHER BIG CARD
WINNER MAY GET WHACK
AT JACK DEMPSEY'S HEAVY
CROWN.

New York, Aug 13.-Jack John
son will meet Harry Wills for the
Colored heavyweight championship
in Denver, Colo, on Labor Day.
This contest will pave the way for
worlds encounter between Wills
and Dempsey. Few pugilistic ex-
perts will concede the veteran John
son chance against the clever and
hard-hitting Wills. Harry will en-
ter the contest against Jack almost
as top heavy as Dempsey was over
Carpenter. The chances of Johnson
whipping Wills are almost none at
all. Wills victory over. Johnson,
however, will make Harry undisput
ed heavy weight championship of
the black race.
AS Wills is a clean-living temper
ate fellow of good record and rep
utation inside and outside of the
ring the public demand is likely to
force Dempsey into a match with
Wills. Harry is about the only man
in the world who at present is con-
coded a chance against the champ
ion. Should Tom Gibbons, however,
register a decisive defeat over Geo
rges Carpenter next =, October the
victory would make Gibbons as
logical a contender as Wills for
match with Dempsey.
Though Tex Richard repeatedly
has intimated that he would not
stage a worlds heavy championship
between a white and black boxer,
the great promoter is likely to
change his mind if there should be
an overwhelming demand for a
Dempsey Wills encounter. On ac-
count of Wills habits and reputa-
ton such a demand is likely to be
made if Harry is successful in de-
feating Johnson.
A Wills-Dempsey contest is not
likely to be staged next fall or win
ter, as the contest it too great an
attraction to follow so closely upon
the heels of a Gibbons-Carpentier
contest. Next Memorial Day looks
to be the most logical date for the
bout, but matters may be rushed
through and the contest staged at
an earlier date.
If by any chance Colorado should
prohibit the Johnson-Wills match
the contest will be shifted to Tia
Juana, Mexico. 1t is understood,
however, that sponsors of the bout
have received positive assurance
from the Colorado authorities that
there will be no Inference with the
fighters on Labor Day.

sembled a refinery, and. an automo-
bile truck was overloaded with the
coils. The outfit was found in a
farmhouse twelve miles southwest of
the city. A Negro was the only one
present. An automobile was used to
bring IN a portion of the stuff and
the still proper was brought in later
on a truck. Six five-gallon bottles of
whisky and 900 pounds of sugar were
eIzeu. Fourteen barrels Of mash, in
GLIDING two in the still, were des-
troyed

SERMON in CHURCH
BY JACK JOHNSON.

New York, N. Y, Aug. 11.-With
an open Bible before him and the
Golden Rule as his subject, John
Arthur (Jack) Johnson, former
worlds heavyweight champion, who
recently finished a prison term for
violating the Mann White Slave law,
protested his innocense here. He
assailed as hypocrites and towards
those who had attacked his charac-
ter, and closed with a plea to his
hearers to help in solving the race
problem by leading a Christian life.
This book teaches you to be
fairminded, said Johnson, pointing
to the Bible as he spoke in the New
York Baptist Tabernacle, 125th St,
and Madison Avenue, land to be
sympathetic to others in their trou-
Bile. have always tried to, live by
the Bibles teaching, as my mother
told me to do. Is there any one here
who has done more, any one who
has really lived up to the Golden
Rule? If there is one here with
out sin, let him rise.
THE Bible teaches us to go into
the bottomless pit, If need be, and
get out the one who is sinking
there. All the dirt that has been
done me Yves done by those cow
ards with prejudiced minds, these
hypocrites who kneel and pray on
Sunday and commit SANDER the rest
of the week. Cut me open, and you
will find written upon my heart that
have never done wrong to my fell
low men,"
Johnson then spoke of the race
problem, said he hoped the Ethiop-
ian race would come to have equal
rights with White men, and urged
his hearers to forget and forgive"
"You who are religious, follow
this hook" he cried Never carry
malice, remember that you must
crawl before you walk; and may
God bless you all"
The audience of 100, mostly wom-
en-, followed Johnson's talk with
murmurs of approval, sympathetic
cries of Eyes, yes and an OCCASION
al handicap. The minister, the Rev.
Lewis B. Twisby, in his opening
prayer, asked for "a blessing on the
speaker of the hour" J Frank
Wheaton, lawyer, introduced the
former champion.
"The victim of unfair treatment
and denied square deal" he said

feels wronged, l have paid the pen
