Washington Wednesday night at Convention Hall, Thirteenth and Central streets, 8:30 p. m. The Public is invited. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS TO HONORED WITH UNCLE SAM'S BEST NATIONAL ALLIANCE OF POSTAL EMPLOYEES HERE NEXT WEEK. While the National Negro Business League is meeting across the Kaw in Kansas City, Mo., next week, Kansas City, Kansas, will be entertaining at the same time the National Alliance of Postal Employees. This organization which is made up of our Colored railway clerks in only three years old but the class of men in which it found its birth one could readily see how quickly it could develop in power and strength and next week our city will have as its guests one of the highest and most cultured set of men from all parts of the country, that ever held a convention in the city. We will not only honor and feel proud of them, but the entire citizenery will welcome their coming. The local Alliance has about completed all arrangements for these great men and their wives. Uncle Sam is proud of these men of dependable activity, so let us as their brothers spare neither time nor money in their pleasure and comfort while in our homes. This will be the first National Colored convention ever held in our city, and so let us show to them we are not inexperienced even if it is No. 1. On Wednesday evening the 16th, a public reception will be held in honor of the delegates and their wives in the auditorium at Sumner High school, at which time a splendid program of music and oratory will take place. Mayor Green will welcome the postal clerks to the city with an address. Also some of the superintendents of mails are expected to be present. The banquet will be served with the Business League Friday evenings, at Convention hall. Thursday after the parade the visitors will be taken over the two cities on a sight seeing trip. MASONS TO HAVE CORNER STONE LAYING. Hiram Lodge No. 89 and Olive Branch No. 74 will lay their corner stone this Sunday in the building they lately purchased at the corner of Tenth and Washington boulevard. Grand Master Ernest J. Hawking of Ft. Scott and ex-Grand Master Milton Collins, of Kansas City, Kas., will be the principal speakers. The committee on arrangements, R. T. Trotter, Andrew Cox and E. L. Blue, state many of the Masons who attended their Grand Lodge session this week in K. C.. Mo., will stay over for the ceremonies. Miss Soparah Miller of 837 Freeman, is improving nicely from a three weeks illness. BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETS AT MR. CLAYBOURNE'S GROCERY STORE ON WEDNESDAY EVENING. On Wednesday evening a Business League meeting was held at the vice-president's grocery store, Mr. Claybourne's, corner Tenth and Washington boulevard, at which time Mr. Albon L. Holsey of Tuskegee Institute and National Organizer of the National Negro Business League and Prof. Jesse O. Thomas, principal of Voorhees Institute, Denmark, South Carolina, gave two excellent addresses. Quite a number of Kansas City, Kas., business men were present with a number of professional and citizenery. Prof. J. R. Lee, principal of Lincoln High school, Prof. Hodges, principal of Sumner High, Judge Bradley and others made short talks Mr. Fortune Weaver, president of the local league, was master of ceremonies. While this was not a large meeting in number, it made up in interest of thought and deed. An altercation at the Buffalo club at 544 State avenue last Saturday night between Leslie Woodfork, rural mail carrier and Chas. Turner, a train porter, resulted in the death of Mr. Woodfork from a shot by Mr. Turner just above the heart. Woodfork was hurried to St. Margaret's hospital where he died Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock. It was a case where two of like temperament met. They had some words over $1.25 which Turner claimed Woodfork owed him. When t he news reached the community what had happened no greater shock could come to the people. Both young men were from our best families and the sadness and sorrow it has brought to them, as well as their many friends is beyond words. The many friends of these two families including The Advocate, extend to them their sincere sympathy in their hour of trouble. The funeral will be held at First A. M. E. church Sunday afternoon. MOTHER FRANKLIN LAID TO REST The funeral services of Mrs. Amanda Franklin were held Sunday at 2 p. m. from the First Baptist church. Rev. W. A. Bowren officiated. Electa Chapter No. 2, O. E. S. turned out in a body. Resolutions from the church were read by Mrs. E. Edmunds and from the Chapter by Mrs. A. M. Brown. Deceased was a faithful Christian and leaves two daughters, a son, and other relatives and friends who miss her.

The board expects middle west. to get some of the big track meets "Our plan is this," said W. H. Seymour, clerk of the board, this morning. "We will pay each year to Thomas Carey, owner of the ground between Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets and between the north line of Barnett avenue and the east and west line between Armstrong and Ann avenues, a sum between $3,000 and $3,200, for a period of 20 years. At the end of that time the ground will become the property of the board of education. Within in the next 30 days graders will begin work on a field 600x529 1-2 feet. This of course, is much larger than Federal League Park in Kansas City, Mo. which has been considered the best field west of the Mississippi river. "Some persons will belive that such a large field will be built in a slipshod manner," continued Mr. Seymour. "But it will not. The plans which our architects, Rose & Peterson, will be instructed to draw will call for a concrete wall a little more than eight feet in height, and a grandstand that will seat 10,000 people also built of concrete and making it absolutely fireproof." The board has also considered how much street car fare would be spent by the high school public if they attended only forty events during the year. If the attendance should be only 900 to each event this would amount to $3,600 yearly. When the field is finished which will be about PUBLIC RECEPTION Greater Kansas City, being the city of conventions, during this month, we desire to invite the public's attention to the convention of Negro Postal Clerks which convenes in K. C., Kansas, Aug. 16th. We are exceedingly anxious that the public shall meet these clerks during their stay in our city. In order to become better acquainted, we desire your presence on Aug. 16th at 7:30 P. M. at Sumner High. At which time a program will be rendered for the entertainment of the delegates. We hope to have the presence of the Honorable Mayor of our city, the Supt. of R. M. S. from St. Louis, Mo., and the various chief MRS. BESSIE M. WEAVER, THE ESTIMABLE WIFE AND BUSINESS WOMAN OF MR. FORTUNE J. WEAVER. M. B. Mrs. Weaver has made more than good in the florist business and in the past few months has associated with it a fruit stand which has been a success. Mrs. Weaver is a faithful and ardent supporter of the Business League and has been exceedingly active in assisting the local league in getting ready for the entertaining of the National body which convenes in Kansas City next week. Mrs. Weaver is chairman of the entertainment committee. Her business place is located at 1516 East Eighteenth street. November 1, the high school students can walk to it. But the field is not to be for the high school alone. The board expects to get some of the big track meets from the University of Kansas and Missouri here. Also other important athletics as this will be absolutely the finest field in the middle west. The total cost of the field will be $140,000 and will be paid for over a space of twenty years, said Mr. Seymour. "Many locations were considered, including Heathwood Klam park and City Park were too far away from the high school." Last year the high school athletic association was obliged to pay $25 for each football game that was played here, or rather in Association Park Kansas City, Miss ouri, and yet under the advisement of Mr. Bailey and four members of the faculty the students managers were able at the end of the year to show all bills paid. "The movement for the field was started by three members of the high school, who were graduated last year," said Supt. N. E. Pearson today. "the boys came before the board a year ago with a petition signed by fifty business men favoring the field. This petition was based on the fact that the board was allowed to levy a quarter of a mill tax on every dollar for play school grounds. It was then that the board felt that it could start to work on the field. I made it my business to see the field of every high I visited this year." The boys to whom Mr. Pearson refers are Howard Blum, Edward Shanberg, and Clarence Bennett. clerks of this division. We know you will enjoy the program, so please favor us with your presence and bring your friends. ALL ARE WELCOME. J. C. BRANCHE. FRATERNAL ORDERS TO DEDICATE WINDOWS.

Office 932 Oakland aveane.—Ed. ———_—_—_i THOUGHTS TO DIGEST. Judge I, F. Bradley, one of our old scholarly jurists, has been contributing to the pages of The Advocate from week to week matter which has brought to the notice of its thousands ef readers something of a revelation. The first two or three articles of the judge’s thought was somewhat over- iooked as to its meaning and logic, but when once they got the gist of its substance matter around the core they then commenced realizing the difference in the taste of the fruit and now many acknowledge they ale eating the fruit, core and all. While some may look at these weekly let ters carelessly, but if you will only take the time to read them with a di gestive purpose you will soon sce¢ yourself and the race in that attitude just as Judge Bradley’s camera ha: photographed his subject. Read anc reflect on these everyday practica subjects and your present and futur understanding will be greatly to you common welfare, CANDIDATES CLAIM THEY WERE DOUBLE CROSSED, Candidates who were in the primary claim they were double-crossed to a fare-you-well by some of the clubs that were in operation during the campaign. Candidates, whether elect- ed or defeated get together after the primary and talk over the if's ete and tell who were their standpatters in certain wards and preceincts and then when it is, they get wise to each oth- er that they had been doubled crossed. Men running for the same office then find to their disgust and disgrace to their supposed constituents, they had received money from both candidatey and in the count neither had a look in. Saying this be true, these candidates should expose these parties to the public so others might know who they are. The Advocate believes in clean politics and when it can be’stown that men and women and especially of the race are doing those things that retrogrades and is pulling the race downward it is fearless enough to publish the names of those who are so disgracefully and dishonestly taking away what confidence of stand ing and character we now have. It’s a blot on any race to be classed a: such characters and we should be the last to allow ourselves to be a party to this low degrading kind of politics OKLAHOMA BUSINESS MEN WILL MOTOR TO LEAGUE IN 20 cars. * The business men of Oklahoma will Jeave Muskogee Monday in 20 ears for Kansas City to attend the Nation- al convention next week.

Presentlx the renter finds himself pay- ing a sum in monthly rent entirely dis- proportionate to his total income, Usually this brings a domestic finan- cial stringency, all the more felt when necessaries in food and clothing are elso advapeing In price. The renter fn such circumstances finds himself on a three-pronged di- Jemma: He can go on paying high rents and expenses, thus using up his income and falling to lay anything for emergencies, sickness or old age. Or he can buy a home on the popular con- tract plan if he possesses enough In savings to make the first payment of 10 or 20 per cent of the purchase Price. Or he can buy a cheap lot far out and begin bullding his home plece- meal, a room or two at a time. Most persons prefer to buy the ready-made home. Building one’s own home Is Jabor and tribulation and ex- penses, seen and unforeseen. And mod- ern folk are content to avoid tribula- tion by as wide a margin as may be Possible, But the person without avail- able funds to make a first payment of 10 or 20 per cent must be content to see Income consumed by outgo or turn to the task of creating a home a bit at a time, And this can be done. It Is being done, Success Is more frequent than failure in these attempts, too. The man without a nest-egg of money can get a lot, can bulld a kitchen, then a bedroom, then another room, until he at last possesses a home of his own if he will endure hardships with pa- tence, if he will arouse the spirit slumberlng within, the spirit which led his forefathers to wilderness con- quests. “Where there's a will there's & way”—even though it sometimes is @ way beset with thorns. And he who conquers hardships has some- thing real on which to congratulate himself. TOUCHED HEARTS OF SEAMEN Sailor Tells of Deep Regret Felt When German Cruisers Were Forced to Sink a Ship. Mucke’s account of the manner of sinking 2 prize is exceedingly graphic, with all its Teutonic exactness. “It 4s a queer feeling for a seaman to see a ship sinking, and we who were used to helping each ship in need were al- ways touched by {t, The destroying was usually done in this way: We ‘went down to the engine room and re- moved the covers of pipes leading out- side. In rushed the water in jets as high as a man. The water-tight door of the boiler room was then opened, to allow that compartment to be flood- ed, If there was cause for haste, oth- er holes were opened by explosives. For a time the ship would rock back and forth as if It did not know es- actly how to behave. Always deeper and deeper it sank, until the upper deck touched the water, “Then it acted like a body taking its last breath, The bow went down first, the masts struck the water and the screws were raised in the air. The funnels blew out the last smoke and coal dust; for an instant the ship Stood on end, and then shot down to the depths like a heavy stone, After half a minute greetings from the depths would begin to arrive. Long Pieces of wood came up vertically, like an arrow, jumping several yards in the air, In the end the place where the ship sank was marked by a large oil spot and a few smashed boats, beams, life preservers and the like. Then it was time for the Emden to make for the next masttop."—Lewis R. Free man, in the Atlantic. Burning Gas Through Ice. An interesting scene was witnessed on a skating Jake near a western city. White spots resembling air bubbles were noticed in the ice, and one of the skaters bored a hole into such a bubble and applied a match to it, whereupon a flame burst out at the surface. Further experiments showed that when a small hole was bored down to the bubble a long, thin jet of flame could be obtained, which would last for a considerable time. The bubbles ‘were due to accumulaticns of marsh gas, formed by the decompssition of Yegetable matter at the bottom of the lake. Russlan Newspapers. There are said to be about 309 daily newspapers In European Russia. The Russian press is fairly free on all but Political subjects. On these it has to exercise considerable circumspec- tion In regard to what it prints, but not to the degree generally supposed, however. 3 ; Spruce for Aeroplanes. Great Britain and France have spent More than a million dollars for 18- 000,000 feet of spruce wood from Washington azé Oregon for making aeroplanes, accoriing to Robert B.

Stories of detectives’ escapades are read by men who enjoy a little non- Sense now and then, and it would take much of the flavor out of the newspa- per accounts of such proceedings if ‘wwe should require that they be writ- ten up in the dignified manner of the opinion and judgments, of this court. “For example, although we might deem it more appropriate to say, in commenting upon what we considered a mistake, that a reversible error or an abuse of discretion had been com- mitted, a newspaper reporter might well say of a more or less serious er- ror, without Intending any disrespect, that a bonehead stunt had been pulled of.’"—New York Sun. é DIFFER OVER NAME OF TOWN “Muscle” or “Mussel” Shoals Is a Question That ts Agitating the Minds of Tennesseeans. ‘The name “Muscle shoals” is golng to be decidedly an important one if the government nitrate plant is located there, says the Nashville Tennessean and, in any event, it is certain to be a T™uch-used name during the next sev- eral months. We should agree, there fore, on its spelling. As matters stand one newspaper spells It one way and another the other way. It is a well-known fact that the place recelyed its name because of the abundance in that region of a certalt fresh-water bivalve. The commor name of that bivalve Is spelled both “raussel” and “muscle,” the former be ing given the preference. But, in spell ing the name of the place, the latter got the ascendency. The United States government spells it “3uselc Shoals” The Century Dictionary spells it that way. The Standard dictionary spells it both ways, but gives the preference to “muscle.” Five or six years ago the cities of Florence Sheffield and ‘Tuscumbia solemnls eliminated themselves, and then as solemnly reincarnated themselves a: ‘Muscle Shoals, And they spelled i “muscle.” That is the generally accepted spell Ing of that great water-power site Why stickle for the preferred spelling of the name of the mollusk from which the place took Its name wher practically everybody from Andrew Jackson on down has spelled it the other way. Libraries of Nish. Whether German or Bulgar be re- sponsible for the destruction of the libraries of Nish, It is an act of un- pardonable vandalism, which leaves the world the poorer. For Nish is rich in traditions and historical asso- ciations, As Nalssus, the capital of ancient Moesia, it played a large part in the making of history. It was here that the second Claudius defeated the Goths in the third century with slaughter as great as is recorded to- day of the Germans at Verdun; and it was here—for all authorities are now agreed In disregarding the rival claims of Nicomedia and ar unnamed place in England—that an innkeeper’s daughter, Helena by name, gave birth to a royal infant who was to be known throughout all the as the powerful | Emperor Constantine the Great—Lon- don Chronicle. —— | Wait Till the Read le Drv.

RECLAIMING A GREAT SWAMP Scientific Farming on an Eleven-Thou- sand-Acre Tract In Western New York. One of the largest and most scien- tific agricultural enterprises in the eastern part of the United States is a farm in western New York. Popular Mechanics Magazine tells of aclentific methods and modern Implements used on this big farm, which has been in the course of development for the last three years, This farm comprises 11,000 acres and is two miles long end nine miles wide. A trip of sixty miles ig required to pay off all the pepsi undertaking is backed by New York financlers and is managed by a civil engineer who is also a sclentific farmer. ‘The land comprising this farm was originally a vast, undrained swamp, and its reclamation was accomplished only by employing a dredge which cut a deep main canal, with many lateral branches, through the tract. As the land was drained lumbermen were put on ft to clear off the trees and stumps with axes and dynamite. These work- men were followed by others with five- gang plows, ete. drawn by caterpillar tractors of light construction. These light engines have almost wholly sup- planted horses on the farm aud are a source of special Interest to the boys of the farmers. One tractor has eight times the pulling power of a horse. Of the 4,000 acres of muck land in the tract, only about 1,000 acres have been reclaimed and are now in use, Much of the farm is devoted to truck gardening conducted on a strictly scl- entific basis. A cost system Is main- tained, and it ts possible to know just what each crop costs. All the produce fs prepared for ship- ment according to factory methods. The crates are made on the farm, a special nailing machine bejng one of the labor-saving devices used In their construction. The workmen are well provided for with bungalows of mod- ern type and with modern social con- veniences, and such improvements as telephones, electric lights, etc. An evidence of the success of the enter- prise is that much of the land is now valued at $500 per acre. HOW SUNBURN MAY BE CURED Really Painful Affliction Gan Be Al- leviated If Treatment 1s Under- telah at Once. Sunburn is often extremely painful, Jn many cases, where a girl has been out in the sun practically all day, the skin blisters and causes very real suf- fering, It is a wise girl who knows how to care for her own sunburn, for she will save herself a good bit of pain by doctoring it ut once. When you return to the house after a day in the open and find your arms, ‘neck and face all rose colored from the sun, don’t stop to question why, but start in treating it at once. The burn never hurts the first day and sometimes it does not the second day, but you will certainly get it the third, unless you are very careful. Don’t wait until the skin begins to itch and smart before you put on a eream, but at the first sign of rose color, where white usually is, start your doctoring at once, Cocoa butter is excellent to take the sting out of sunburn and witchhazel cream is another fine emollient. Rub either one in well at the first appear- ance of the burn and then again the next day and you will not be bothered so much by the palp and itch. Increasing Motor Truck Efficiency. In a recent issue of Factory a con- tributor suggests a simple yet most efficacious method of securing greater service from any motor truck, He recommends the use of a number of crates or tubs, which can be loaded at any time and handled by a derrick which places them on and removes them from a motor truck, Thus the motor truck becomes practically in dependent of loading operations and the minimum of time Is spent in load. ing and unloading. If a trailer fs used in conjunction with a motor truck, this system of loading is even more ef. fective, - “And where do you expect to g0 next?” we asked the great explorer when we had finished interviewing him about the results of his latest ex: pedition. “I don’t know,” he replied. “You see, I've been to about every place there is except one." “And that is?” “That's the place the taxi driver told me to go to when I refused to pay him any more than the exact legal fare.” The Immediate Problem. “Where are the snows of yester. day?” inquired the man who quetes poetry. “Never mind that,” rejoined his wife “The important question is, ‘Where is the Ice that was due to arrive this morning?” “What are you doing, Billy?" asked Mrs. Nannie Goat of her soa. “Practicing economy, maw,” replied Billy, who was chewing on an old umbrella, “I'm putting away some- thing for a rainy day.” No Dry Days in His.

This sight, will be those ladies and gentlement, of Color, in our commu- nity, who“ill take great pride in dis- tributing themselves in, about, and around the meeting of The Business League. They will appear and be in many places, and in many roles, where they naz be entirely out ef place. They will have much to say, (that will be false in them) about the suc- cess of this great affair—a success too, jto which, they have contributed. abso- lutely Nothing, but instead, have lent the force and power of their economic yelue to the very opposite—by stub- hornly refusing to give their trade to the upbuilding of Negro business, and im refusing to patronize Negro Profes- sional men, It will be that stripe of Individual, who has a Sack of false Pride in the place, where a Stout and Manly Heart ought to beat, The kind who will be at every point and place, where the Race will receive Credit and Praive, for what has been Gone—and Cuck-old-like, they will ac- cept it, Let us fondly hope, that these poor unfortunate beings, whose Souls are |so small, that they could dance a sis- iteen-hand set, in mustard seed skell— Iwill profit by meeting the broad guaged and manly men and women who will constitute the Business league. | So that within the next uvelve months, they will be found in the elass ‘ef builders of a Race of Noble Men snd Women, who are not afraid or ashamed to respect themselves, and hence will have the same sort of feel- ing for their fellowmen—although they are Black. | (Not done yet.) | I.
