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.

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.

CONDITIONS
GRAPHICALLY
DESCRIBED
Riga, Latvia, June 20.?The chaotic
conditions and daily tragedies that
followed upon resumption of free
trade in South Russia are described
graphically by a writer for the Moscow
ISVESTIA who has just made a
trip through the Ukraine.
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.
(d) He is a good bluffer.?Farm
