PASTOR OF ST. MARY'S
CHURCH
Concluded from Page y


following Sunday evening and preach
sermon for him. and granting him
permission to do so, Bishop Carey in
"a round about way preached an old
time Democratic sermon.
On pulling out from St. Mary's
Church Rev. Harvey urged his warm
friends and followers to turn over
every dollar which they held belonging
to the church and on Tuesday evening
more than seven hundred Of his fol-
lowers met in the Williamson Chapel,
5l23 South State street, where they
perfected all arrangements to establish
new church for him. (See announce
ment in another column Of this news
paper).
Rev. Harvey wants it distinctly
understood that he has no bitterness
in his heart against anyone connected
with his former church and that he
had simply become tired of the way
its affairs have been so disgracefully
conducted by so many unfit and I'M
moral preachers
Rev Harvey was pastor Of St.
Mary's Church for four years during
which time he paid six thousand dol
,ars on the running debts Of the church
and he bought a six, seven and eight
room modern fiat building for it al
5145 and 5147 Prairie ave-, in which
the church parsonage is located and
the FIVE rented fats bring in two
hundred and eighty-hve dollars per
month, The building is worth twenty
four thousand dollars with only four
teen thousand dollars against it.
Rev. Harvey also established Mu-
tual Aid Society for the special benefit
Of the sick members Of ST. Mary's
Church.
Before coming to Chicago Rev.
Harvey was for six years pastor Of
Quinn Chapel. Louisville, KY. where
the General Conference will be held
in 1924.
All Of the foregoing tends to prove
that Rev. Harvey has been Of some
importance in the Great a. NJ. E.
Church.

MIGRATION DECREASING
(Urban League News service)

With the coming of fall smaller
and smaller number of our people are
coming to Chicago. They began to
come in large enough numbers to at
tract attention in the early spring, and
the in increasing numbers until about
the first Of August, when the first fall
ing off. was noticed.
While the movement was at its
height the Urban League and its good
friends made check up and discov-
cred that on four Sundays a total Of
over 5000 filed through the gates Of
the Illinois Central and Dearborn
Stations. If due allowance be made
for those who came in other days Of
the week and for those who were
merely passing through, it IS entirely
likely that from January up to August
/. Chicago's population was increased
on an average Of 1000 coiored people
each month.
Another check up made for all
trains from the South every day over
the Illinois Central Railroad for the
period from July 8 to September 8,
showed total Of 6,3l4 Negro travel
ers, or 5000 a month From this i
can be seen that the migration is de-
creasing, but is by no means over
as yet.

NEW YoRK.-Migration is being
reflected in the trading here as indi-
Gated by remarkable rise in cotton
yarn prices which show marked adj
vances. Raw cotton quotations are
rising momentarily and constantly It
is to be doubted If the spinners will be
able to make their December deliveries
unless relief is found in other markets.
The upward movement of prices in
the raw product is traced to bolI-wee-
VII and the migration of colored labor
from the cotton plantations.

Another good time awaits the
friends and members Of the Culinary
Workers Of Aberdeen and Hoquiam.
Just a few weeks ago they gave a
dance. everyone attending reporting
having the time of their lives. Now
it is a social program, including prac-
tically everything that is usually en-
joyed by good crowd. Prizes will
also be awarded the winners of the
contests staged, among which will be
be a pie eating contest
A definite date has not been set, as
a hall has not Seen secured. but will
probably be in lhe Moose hall of Alb
erdeen next Thursday evening. This
is one Of the finest halls in the city
for program of this kind. The lodge
room is large enough to accommodate
large crowd.
AS is to be expected the lunch
served late in the evening will be a
great attraction. II all the cooks take
hand in the cooking and the walters
and Mattresses do the serving, the
friends invited should have no trouble
getting their fill. Providing. however,
that too many cooks do not spoil the
cooking and too many walters and
Mattresses spoil the serving.
The committee in charge of the
program consists of Mrs. King, Mrs.
Defoe, Mrs. Andrews and Mr.. Evans.

LESS BOOKKEEPING
SYSTEM PERFECTED

George G. Dunno, who was a Har-
Dor resident three years ago, has been
in the city the past two weeks in the
interest of his system designed to re-
duce to a minimum the labor attached
to the selling problems Of the mer-
chant. Mr.. Dunno has worked upon
this Merchants Economic Cash
Credit System" for several years. He
is making Aberdeen headquarters for
the State Of Washington, as Portland
will also be for Oregon.
The Aberdeen Help-Yourself Store
has the honor of being first in the
state to install the system, which is
mutually beneficial to the customer
and merchant. A cash-credit book
good for face value Of IS, $40 and
$40 Is the basis. The customer bene-
fits In buyin gthese books at dis
count. The amount of the purchases
to a cent is torn from the books. The
merchant is freed from sales slip wor-
ries and the carrying of petty ac-
counts. The book shows at all times
the actual unused balance. This bal
ance is redeemable at face value at
any time.
In case a credit system Is used
great amount of bookkeeping is elimi-
mated, as only the one ledger entry is
necessary to enter the account. The
charge is made in round figures and
the purchasing OF goods goes forward
without any further entries of sales
until the book is exhausted.
Many other advantages are claimed
for the system by Mr.. Dunno. He is
especially interested in the success
of his system in Aberdeen because a
large part Of the preliminary work
upon it was done while he was work
ing here three years ago as a printer,
at which time he was a member Of the
Typographical union here.
Edwin G. Clark, postal clerk here,
is associated with Mr.. Dunno in the
venture.

BY DISCUSSIONS

One Of the most interesting and
largest attended meetings of the Elec-
trical Workers was held Wednesday
evening. After the routine business
of the local had been attended to,
Brother Reynolds gave an interesting
talk on the proprieties of electrical
apparatus. Naturally all the members
are interested In these discussions be-
cause they are educational and the
knowledge gained can be applied to
their work practically every day, not
only increasing their efficiency, but
also lettering the chances for promo

In the future a portion of the time
at each meeting will be reserved for
educational work and many electrical
subjects discussed by men well versed
in that field.

LABOR FORCES WILL
DEMAND INCREASE
IN COMPENSATION

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 24.-The
fight over the question of increased
compensation for injured workmen is
on in earnest at Olympia. Two bills
are now before the legislature. House
bill No. 80 was introduced in the
house last Friday morning by Adam
Beeler OF Seattle, and which provides
for amendments to the workmen's
compensation law increasing the
awards for widows from $50 to $3.50
per month; increasing the allowance
for children from IS to $40 per month;
eliminating the limitation as to the
number Of children eligible to bene-
fits under the law; also raising the
age limdt Of children from 16 to 18
years. Proportionate increases in all
other awards are provided In the bill
on the basis of IS per cent increase
IN the awards.
A bill is in course Of preparation
and will be introduced in the senate
during the coming week, possibly by
George Mccoy, chairman Of the in
dustrial insurance committee Of the
senate, and which provides. according
to reports, for approximately Is per
cent increase in awards, and is pre-
sumably the administration bill.
The employers lobby is still on the
job at Olympia, fighting against any
increases in awards, but with the hope
of SUCCESS practically abandoned in
this connection, but still on the job
fighting to hold the increases down to
the lowest amount possible.
The labor forces will fight bitterly
against any consideration of a 25 per
cent increase and will take the posi-
