niT imiini ni u ..................... Lincoln News S! ii The attendance at the program tendered by the D. M. S. Club at the Baptist church, Thursday. June 13, for the benefit of the Old Folks’ Home, was very small, probably on account of the hot weather. But friends the program was worth hear ing. Our young' folks want encour agement and can only be gained by you and me presenting ourselves at their entertainments. Miss Gladys Brown left oui city Sunday evening, June 16, for her home at Topeka, Kas., where she will enjoy a short vacation before the beginnig of the fall term of school, when she will return. Great preparations are now being made for the entertainment of the Mite Missionary society, which will hold its convention here July 30 and 31, under the auspices of the First A. M. E. church.

About seventy-five or eighty guests were present at the thirtieth wedding | anniversary of Rev. and Mr. J. S.! Payne on the evening of June 14, 1918. j After a mock wedding was performed , by the Rev. Burckhardt, some very j pleasing and yet congratulatory re ; marks were made in their honor by | some of Lincoln’s prominent citizens. A very enjoyable evening was enjoyed by all present. At a late hour the guests departed wishing the host and hostess thirty more years of happi ness. Friends were much grieved to hear of the death of Mrs. Wilber Woods Kansas City. Mr. P. A. Abner departed Sunday June 16, for a short vacation in the east. Before his return he will visit at the home of his sister in Pittsburg, Pa. The most impressive annual ser mon ever preached ty ^^ Sir Knights end Daughters of Tabernacle was de livered last Sunday evening at the Mt. Zion Baptist church, to a capac ity audience. The Daughters and Sir Knights, in their splendid uniforms and looking their best, filled the mid dle section of the church, ' It wag not only a grand historical review of the Yaborian organization, but it was a spiritual feast; bringing out many “amens” of approval. So n’easing was he effect on the audience that nearly a dozen names were presented to the drill master for memberships. Rev. R. R. Powers deserves tne high est compliments for the manner in which he discoursed the subject. At the close of the serin off’ the Taborian order sang “Tabor’s Band,” com nosed by Sir Knight A. F. Wilson, C. M„ of Washington Temp.e No. 25. Kansas City, Kas.

NEGRO BISHOPS FOR THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH A few months ago the Episcopal diocese of Arkansas elected Archdea- i con E. T. Demby, a Colored man. to the bishopric to supervise the work of the Colored church in the province of the southwest. Two weeks ago the Episcopal diocese of North Carolina elected Archdeacon H. B. Delaney also a Colored man, to the bishopric, with supervision over the work of the Colored churches in North and South Carolina. In the normal evolution of affairs, it is perfectly natural to ex- ( pect that Colored men of distinction ■ shall sooner or later be placed in posi- ; tions of high trust in church, in in riustry and in civic life. In the church it has thus been given the Episcopal communion to lead the way. It is to be hoped that the Methodist Episcopal church will soon follow suit. Truly Etheopia is stretching forth her hand vnto God—the God of justice, of op portunity and of fair play.—The In- i dianapolis Ledger. ANOTHER SAMPLE OF DEMOC RACY FROM DIXIE’S ANGLE Hattiesburg, Miss., June 13.—The question of carrying Colored soldiers by taxi operators between Camp Shel by and Hattiesburg is being discus ;rd by the military authorities at Camp i Shelby. An order was carried into effect yesterday directing the 'driver; of cars to take Colored passengi is. Several of the taxi drivers refused to do so, and their licenses were taken from them by the military police. The taxi drivers held a meeting, and agreed under no circumstances to transport Colored and white passen gers in the same car. They argue that it would be an infringement of the “Jim Crow” laws of the state. Several of the operators have offered to provide separate cars for the Col ored soldiers. Brigadier General Hudson, division commander, has trie matter under advisement.

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA. PARIS IS GAY DESPITE WAR People Accept All Privations in Cheerful Mood, Swiss Writer Says. EVERY ONE SAVES FOOD Postirs Remind Citizens That Conser. vation Will Hasten American Army, by Reducing Cargo Space in Shipping. Berne.—The correspondent of tlie Berne Bund sends his paper a de scription of life in Paris, which is published under the caption, “War Life in France; Paris as It Eats * ad Saves.” The article says: “Who would have thought possible before the war a world city in exist ence two days' march behind the bat tle front? During the first war weeks, after the government's departure to Bordeaux, Paris had been somewhat deserted. But since then everything is back. The big hotels never did better than Just now. In the streets there is a traffic that has never been beaten. The stranger notices tin. many uniforms; he thinks the French capital a big army camp, where mili tary men from all corners of the world meet. Used to Uniforms. “The Parisian long Ugo became used to the uniforms and forgot that once there wus a time when women were the only ones who added color to a street scene. Man gets used to every thing. After a while one found the dark streets quite natural. One paid the high war prices without blinking. One submitted to the necessity of a sugar curd and learned to get along with a moderate coal supply in win ter. "Lately, however, the Parisian ex perienced things that reminded him of the war rather impressively. Thu latest visit of German airplanes re sulted In energetic measures fur pro tection. At all the beautiful monu ments sand hags are piled high. On many large buildings tablets arc posted saying there Is a bombproof cellar there and how many people it will shelter. When darkness appears Paris wraps itself in a bine veil, which is very becoming. “The electric arc lights, the gas luu terns of all descriptions are painted blue. In tram cars, In the subway, in the suburban trains the light is blue. Brisk auto traffic is not without dan ger under such circumstances. Practice Economy. “Measures of economy are now taken up in earnest. Who wants to drink sweet coffee in the cafe has to bring Ids own sugar or lie satisfied witli the saccharine tablet the waiter will hand him. Oakes, pastry and candy are not made any longer. Confectioners are put entirely out of business. The tea houses, too. are in a had fix. No more sugar or sweetmeats, not even sand wiches, are to be had. And two francs for sueh a cup of tea is a pretty good price. “The authorities figure everybody will be sensible enough to see that saving is the patriotic duty of every non-combatant. Clever posters tell the people transportation of food takes up cargo space that ought to be used for American troops and war material. So every citizen cun see he will hasten the arrival of American help and thus support the French poilu by his own moderation and abstemiousness.” INDIANS GIVE TO RED CROSS Pay $900 for Dress, $400 for Mocca sins and $1 for Tom Cats in South Dakota. Terre Haute.—Mrs. Mary Elliott, government nurse and Ited Cross agent at the Rosebud reservation In South Dakota, writes to a brother here about a Ited Cross sale at the agency at which all the money taken in, $8,750, was from Indians. An Indian boys' quartet sang "There'll Be No Kaiser There." An old Indian woman, whose earthly possessions were $1,000 cash, paid $900 for a dress. An In dian "buck” paid $400 for u pair of moccasins. An egg laid by a hen dur ing the sale brought $5. Nine dozen doughnuts brought $1 a dozen. Cakes were $20 and a $2.50 gold coin piece brought $75, and two old tom cats $1 apiece. ! 4»**»*»»»»»**»»*******»*»* J MAKE BOCHE MARCH TO J * TUNE OF YANKEE DOODLE * ' 5 — * J Hazleton, Pa.—Leon Beam of } * West Hazleton writes from J { France that he and Ills coin- * * rades march German prisoners * * to tlie rear to the strains of % I j “Yankee Doodle” and that the * m Teutons seem to like it. * * * ! **********+* ******** *, Salute Gives Him Away. Chester, Pa.—Masquerading as a woman. Private John Hutchinson for got himself when he passed an officer and saluted. As a result he was ar rested and turned over to the military for punishment. Hutchinson was dressed st.vllsnly. He wore a low-cut gown, high-heeled shoes, white stock ings, summer furs and a large picture bat The Huns Atrcad and , The Pacifists at Home i (Contributed by CASPAR WHIT NEY, now at tlie front for tlie “N. Y. 1 Tribune," to the National Security League's campaign of Patriotism Through Education.) Although Germany, while yet a "friend," Intrigued against our peace and order, urged Japan and Mexico to make war on us, and murdered our •men, women and children, there are those among us professing loyalty and Intelligence who practically say tills is not our war and appear unable to real ize that the defeat of the lioche is as vital to us Americans as was the vic tory of 1770. Then we declared for independence; ; inow we fight to maintain It. It is not merely that we tight In answer to indignity and material In jury done us through attack on our rights as a nation and on the lives of our citizens—not merely to uphold our place among self-respecting peo ples—that we are at war; hut literally for our self preservation as a republic. To muzzle tills war-mad wild beast we have taken up arms—that the world shall he safe for the freemen of the world. The world cannot rest In peace while Germany holds the destiny of other peoples In her blood-dripping Jiands. The world cannot live in peace with - n people that commits, or permits her sponsors to commit In her name, tlie foul acts of treachery, of vandalism, j of bestiality, of murder, that have marked the trail of the German army over Europe. One doctrine nr the other must pre vail : either the German brutal right of might or the civilized might of right— one or the other—must succumb in this conflict* to the death. And should it he the German doctrine—then shall we fall under the domination of a people that have robbed and raped ami looted and burned and killed, that the "kultur'' of a military oligarchy shall live. Prusslanism is devoid of honor, truth, justice or mercy, as its own acts hai e proved, and Its defeat is a neces sary first step for the peace of the j world and the freedom of civilization. For the safety of American institu tions It must be destroyed; for the safety of American freedom, yours and mine and of all of us. We are In the midst of war. our war. the war of every freeman, of every man and woman whe does not Indorse cowardly murderous assault upon the weak and Innocent, brutal Injustice, and atrocious acts; and if we would preserve the Stars and Stripes and all they stand for we must tight the Hun* abroad and the pacifists at home with all our strength. • HORNED LARK (Otocoris alpestrlt) r r Length, about seven and three fourths Inches. The black mark across the breast and the small, pointed tufts of dark feathers above and behind the eyes distinguish the bird. Range: Breeds throughout the United States (except the South At lantic and Oulf states) and Canada; winters in all the United States ex cept Florida. Habits and economic status: Horned larks frequent the open coun try, especially the plains and deserts. They associate In large flocks, are hardy, apparently delighting in ex posed situations in winter, and often nest before snow disappears. The flight is irregular and hesitating, but in the breeding season the males ! ascend high in air, singing as they go, and pitch to the ground in one thril ling dive. The preference of horned larks is for vegetable food, and about one-sixth of this is grain, chiefly waste. Some sprouting grain is pulled, but drilled grain is safe from Injury. Cali fornia horned larks take much more grain than the eastern birds, specializ ing on oats, but this is accounted for by the fact that oats grow wild over | much of the state. Weed sends are j the largest single element of food. The i insect food, about 20 per cent of the ; whole, Includes such pests as May beetles and their larvae (white grubs), leaf beetles, clover-leaf and clover root weevils, the potato-stalk borer, nut weevils, hillbugs. and the chinch bug. Grasshoppers are a favorite food, and cutworms are freely eaten. The horned larks, on the whole, may be considered useful birds. !
