LOCKHART JUNCTION I am at home again, working mostly in my own township last week, and qo^lections were good. Some of the <^rored people who are taking the paper are renewing by selling chickens and eggs and trying to keep up their subscription in that way. Anyway "peddle, sell, barter, trade any way to make an honest dollar it is all right. Sallie Bailey, a colored woman, rejrwcd for her paper and said if I did not write oftener she would not take it any more. So I told her I was going to write often. She has three . fine hogs fat enough to kill now. I We find some of the colored people are doing well. Junius Rodgers and his brother, who are colored men, both renewed, one by check and the other paid the money. Junius handed me all the money he had in his pocketbook and a said "count that; it, is all I have," and he had enough to pay ahead for the paper. He said he would have some more when I came back. Olema Lindsay and Norah Giles paid bv sellinc chickens; anH oirrrc T took them myself and gave them credit on the paper. I just mention this, as this is showing a willing mind to keep up their subscription to the paper. So any others who want to pay that way I will take chickens or eggs. I did not mention Dave Jeter last week, who lives on Union Route T. Dave is another colored man doing well; lives on his own farm, takes the paper, and Dave never had the money at that time and said for me to meet him at Union Saturday at the bank and he would pay me. Dave is as good as his word?he was there and pave me the money. Dave has some fine stock. He has several hogs for this years killing. I must say for Dave I find him above the average. He told me there was two thousand acres of land in that section that was owned by colored people. I like to give praise to these people who are making an honest living. It is due them and thev are all good colored citizens. As long as they do right the white man will be their friend. While traveling in Jonesville township I went through a section I had not been to in a good long itme. This is in the upper part of Jonesville township, near Pacolet. I find a section of roads that are almost impassable and this is on a mail route. I don't see how he can stand to go over these roads. If I had the job I sure would give it up. I don't know who is responsible for these roads. I thought the government was going to help keep up the mail routes. I guess they don't know it is so bad. I would make an investigation if I lived in that section to see if mis roaa couldn't be put in better condition. f I find there are some good people living in this section?Messrs. Coleman Black, Hames Porter and others ?miu they need a better road. I drove up to R. R. Coleman's home ? -just at dinner time. Mr. Coleman, who is better known as "Big Bob Coleman," came out from the dining room and asked me to come in for dinner was on the table. They had beans and Irish potatoes and that , sounded good to me. I did enjoy this good dinner and my stop with him and his family. There was a little thing that occurred while I was there?not so funny, but a little exciting at first, laughable when it was all over. One of Mr. Coleman's sons while in the gear house reached down in a box for something he wanted and pulled out a snake. Oh, my! you bet there was jumping and hollowing, but they killed the snake and nobody was bit. Next I stopped at A. A. West's, who lives on L. M. Jordan's place. He is a new man on this side of Fairforest, as he moved from West Springs section. I took dinner with him and family and enjoyed my stop with him and family. All correspondents to the paper are requested to meet at Union Times office Saturday the 16th, at 11 o'clock. Every one be on hand. We want to talk a little business. Moxy.

I k m ' * N ' STEMS THE TIDE OF WORLDLINESS New York, July 7.?An appeal to Christian Endeavorers throughout the world to oppose Sabbath desecration, indecent dress, sensuous and promiscuous dancing and suggestive moving pictures was made by the Rev. Francis E. Clark, president, at the Sixth World's Christian Endeavor convention here today. In outlining proposed activities for the coming year ho said: "I should like to see a league of Endeavorers set themselves against indecent dress sensuous, promiscuous dancing and sensual and suggestive moving pictures, all of which are destroying the modesty and eating out the souls of millions of young people. Let not Christian Endeavor be trained by practices that lead to conformity with the world, the flesh and the devil. "The home is also our sphere of action. We are all children or parents or brothers or sisters. We be- ' long to homes. Why should not family Christian Endeavor be a vital 1 part of our program for the years to come? Many of us may establish or help sustain family prayers, at least breakfast table prayers, even in these busy days. "The decline of family religion is a terrible menace to the Christianity of the future. The men and women of generations yet unborn will have reason to bless you if you stem the tide of worldliness in the home and establish there an altar to our God. "We cannot escape our relation to the community and the nation. Christian Endeavor must be patriotic but not partisan. It must take its place against the desecration of the Sabbath and of every high and holy thing. It must stand for temperance and purity. In other words, it must stand everywhere and always for Christian citizenship." The speaker suggested.as goals for the society for the coining two years four aims. First. A better grading of societies so that wherever possible there will be junior, intermediate and senior societies and alumni councils. Second. Closer and more vital relations with pastor, church and denomination with increased emphasis on attendance on church services; by co-operation in denominational and local church plans and by efforts to obtain recruits for Christian service. Third." More emphasis upon religion in the home to help make the home an agency of constructive Christian training. Fourth. More emphasis on "personal stewardship" in duties to community and country as well as to God. Growth of the World's Christian Endeavor Union from one society to more than 100,000 in the past 40 years with a total membership, past and present of more than 18,000,000 distributed the world over was pointed out by the speaker. FAR REACHING CHANGEIN CHINESE AFFAIRS Peking, July 7.?The Chinese newspapers are freely and openly discussing prospects of a far-reaching change in Chinese affairs which have declared is possible and even probable this summer. One of the dominant figures to whom all experienced observers look for an initial movement in bringing about the predicted change is General Chang Tsi-lin, military governor of xviancnuna, whose influence in the capital is now paramount. The prevailing belief is .that General Chang is favorable to. the restoration to the Chinese throne of tjie boy emperor who has long been a prisoner in the Forbidden City. There was widespread expectation that Chang would inaugurate in the spring or early summer a movement to put the boy emperor back on the throne but it has not thus far materialized. This in turn has given way to internal dissensions between Chang and other leaders. Cabinet changes have ensued and there has been talk of suppressing the independent movement at Canton. While the newspapers discuss the whole subject quite freely yet there is nothing authoritative and little opportunity to substantiate the reports so freely circulated. Many observers attribute these movements and counter-movements to the well-known shortage of funds from which the military leaders in China are suffering. The fate of the government in China hangs to a larger extent than Westerners would suppose upon the attitude of the three military governors of the northern provinces who virtually control everything north of the Yang-tse River. Recently they held a meeting in Tien-tsin and entered upon some kind of an arrangement for the division of authority between them. The premier and several of the ministers made repeated journeys to Tien-tsin to confer with them and a shake-up in the cabinet was made to suit these military commanders. Thd premier, who is opposed to making any further loans, has pro ? - ? *?* ? ^ iju?u a ui reireni'nnwni which covers disbandonment of troops. The military governors 'refused to permit their troops to be dismissed and those of the ministry of war cannot be disbanded without paying up the arrears of pay which the government seems unable to do. There has been talk of a military movement to oust the president, Hsu Shib-chang, and restore Li Yuanhum? to the presidency. The shortage of funds is so great that even the cabinet secretaries have to accept part of their salaries in bonds 'which they cannot possibly sell. The, government's schools are all closed and the minister of education and all teachers have resigned because the government cannot pay over a sufficient sum monthly'to make sure that salaries and expenses will be met.

The peasants, he says, carrying sacks of grain or food to the cities are literally overwhelming the railways. He thus describes the appearance of one of the trains coming into Kiev. "Along the track is crawling a huge gray caterpillar?a train covered all over with the grey masses of foodcarriers. From beneath these masses neither the cars nor locomotives can be distinguished. The grey mass covers everything, the car roofs, the steps and even the spaces between the cars. Every available nook is occupied. Everything is filled up. Only when the train begins to slow down, nearing the Kiev station, it begins to shed its grey fleece. Little by little, while yet in motion, the locomotive and car roofs begin to uncover. "At Kiev all out-bound trains are literally pasted nil over with people. On the locomotive, cars fire-wood truck, water tank and under the car ?anywhere that it is only possible? people fasten themselves to every hook, nail or crevice. Those who have been fortunate enough to get a place on a brake platform are looked upon as favorites of fortune, who are comfortable for their whole trip. "The departure of every train is accompanied by lamentations, wails, crying, shooting and all inds of accidents. When the train is beginning to get in motion, those who were not able to board it and those \Vho have been forcibly removed from it start mad rushes for it again. The military detachments whose duty it is to main-' tain order during the boarding of trains run after the trains, pulling aown some ot tne surplus passengers who have managed to fasten on to them, while from others caps are pulled off and so on. "One of the results of this state of affairs is that porters take 50,000 to 75,000 of rubles for a 'guaranteed' place on the train. "Another result is that the Kiev railway shops every month have to mae about 300 coffins for food-carriers who have been run over by the trains." ' M. Dzerzhinsky, head of the "Cheka" or Committee to Combat Counter-Revolution, known as one of the most efficient men in Soviet Russia, has been appointed by Lefiine as Commissar of Railways to regulate this traffic of food-carriers. MOTOR TRAFFIC RULES v Chicago,, July 7.?Despite the coming of the' automobile there are still thirty thousand horses working today on the streets of Chicago. Faithful servants they are, Whose lives are hard At best, particularly in the very hot weather, observes H. D. Roberts, secretary of the Chicago-Cruelty Society. He suggests the following "donts" to teamsters here and in other cities. "Don't drive fast. The few minutes you save may cost you a horse. "Don't " put on heavy loads. Don't let your horse stand in the sun. Even if he has to stand for a, few minutes pick out a shady place 21 pOSSlbic to do SO* "Don't fail to water your horse as often as possible. It will not hurt him if^he is worked. If you are going to let him stand for a while, only give him a small drink. "Don't use a horse hat unless it has a canopy top. The ordinary kind is worse than none. . "If you use a sponge or cloth, see that it is kept wet. If it is dry it is worse than no protection. "Don't fdil to watch your horse closely. If he gets sick don't wait. Get him into the shade, take off the harness and bridle. Wash out his mouth. Sponge him off with cold water. Put cold water or ice on his head, and send for a doctor. Prompt action may save him. "Don't wash your horse .at night when he comes in from work. Wipe him off with a damp sponge. Let him cool off. "Don't keep him in a hot stable at night. He must cobl off at night, in order to be fit for work next day. "Don't forget that your horse is a good friend and faithful servant. "See that he is entitled to all the care and attention^vou can give him. , Why a Husband Smiles. When a married man is in a good humor, it is from one of the following causes: (a) His wife is in a good humor. (b) She is grouchy so much of the time he has got used to it. (c) He doesn't care.
