TWELVE MONTHS $1.50 NEGRO IS LOYAL TO HIS COUNTRY NEGRO IS LOYAL TO HIS COUNTRY THIRTEEN HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN REGISTERED TUESDAY IN CITY AND COUNTY The colored men of Kansas City, Kansas, and Wyandotte county showed their loyalty and patriotism Tuesday by registering 1316. Twelve hundred and sixty registered in the city and fifty-six in the county. The total registered on that day was 11,384, showing the colored to be a little more than eight per cent of the total, while over 300 aliens are counted in the white column. There were no slackers among the colored boys, but it was reported a number of whites were known not to register. Another thing that is noticeable, is there was not to be found a single alien among the colored registered. OUARTERLY MEETING FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NEW PEWS INSTALLED The services Sunday were largely attended, at both services, Dr. Griffin delivered at the morning worship the strongest sermon since his taking charge of this church. His messages are so full of thought and spiritual essence that the majority of his congregation at each service give vent to their feeling.

The delegates elected to the Sabbath school convention at Ft. Scott, were Mrs. Lottie Hall, Misses Theodosia Hamilton and Louise Thompson, Supt. Truman will also attend.

Germany, s not menacing, was able to shift heavy RUSSIAN ANARCHY FAST SPREADING; NEW RULE IS SET UP IN KRONSTADT London, June 6—Anarchy is spreading in Russia. Disorders were reported from numerous districts today. The turbulence in Petrograd resulting from the establishment of a separate government at Kronstadt was responsible for the hasty return of War Minister Kerensky from the front. M. Kerensky, who is now regarded as "the man of the hour," is making heroic efforts to establish order, but it is predicted by Maxim Gorky and others that there "will be much bloodshed before the anarchy can be overcome." The chaotic economic conditions have resulted in the resignation of Minister of Commerce Konovaloff and it is believed in some quarters that so on the cabinet will consist wholly of Socialists. "The council of workmen's and soldiers' delegates is apparently paying more attention to international affairs than the urgent domestic needs," said a dispatch from Petrograd today. "Just now it is working with all its energy for an international league of Socialists which will make future wars impossible. When the Russian delegates meet in Stockholm next month the first decisive steps in the formation of such an organization will be undertaken." The military expert of the Times declared today that the revolution in Russia has wrecked the 1917 campaign of the allies. It had been planned to undertake a powerful offensive against the German allies on every front simultaneously. But Russia failed to carry out her part with the result that the brunt fell upon the British, French and Italian troops. Germany, seeing that conditions on the eastern ront in Turkey and the Balkans were not menacing, was able to shift heavy forces of troops to France. The funeral of Brother R. T. Connor was held at his late residence. As many as could get into the house did and a larger number filled the yard. The crowd was in itself a tribute to his memory. The Immaculates, G. A. R., Relief Corps, A. M. E. church and Layman's Movement had resolutions. Rev. T. F. Jones delivered the sermon, which enlarged upon the life that Brother Connor lived. It was an easy sermon to preach, for Mr. Connor's life prepared the text. His stalwart figure and fine white hair were such that they always compelled admiration. Brother Connor kept himself young by always putting himself where he could come in contact with helpful ideas. Whenever anything extra was going on at W. U. he was present. Like Livingston, he was a man with the "forward tread." He was an advocate for the good. May he cherish his memory, emulate his virtues. Brother Connor was a faithful reader of The Advocate. Washington, June 6.—If it is found any great number of men eligible for conscription failed to register yesterday a second registration day will be set. This was learned today when Attorney Genral Gregory announced no decision had been made as to the policy to be maintained in the prosecution of men who did not register, since the department was awaiting the decision of Provost General Crowder as to the necessity of another registration day. Mrs. Shelton French, 1026 Grandview boulevard, attended the K. U. commencement at Lawrence this week. The baby of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, 523 State, is quite ill. ENCEMENT, WILBERFORCE UNI- SITY.

HIGHWARDEN-PATTRICK Monday evening at 8 o'clock at the beautiful home of the bride's daughter 2039 North Sixth street, was the happy scene of a beautiful June wedding, and it was not a conscript marriage, either. The parties were Mrs. Alice T. Highwarden, 1113 Grandview boulevard, and Mr. William W. Pattrick of 905 Ohio avenue. The ceremony was performed by their pastor, Dr. J. F. Griffin in the front parlor of Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Foster, Mrs. Foster being a daughter of the bride. There were about thirty relatives and intimate friends present. After congratulations, the guests were served deliciously. Mrs. Pattrick is one of our most worthy women and can count her friends by the score. She owns nice property on Grandview boulevard. She has two daughters, Mrs. Foster, whose husband is a railway mail clerk, and Mrs. G. A. Gregg whose husband has been connected with Western University as one of its scholarly instructors for several years. Mr. Pattrick has been one of Kansas City, Kansas', model citizens for his new bride. Mr. Pattrick owns other real estate in the city besides a nice farm. [Name] REV. JAMES F. GRIFFIN RECORD OF FORMER ENROLLMENT LOST IN HUSTED BUILDING FIRE. Some time ago the Rotary club listed the school boys who were ready to volunteer for summer work but the list was unfortunately lost in the Husted building fire. Through the council of defense, all available boys who are ready to do this emergency work, will find employment. Arrangements will be made so that the boys may spend their nights at home going to and from work on the car. Applications should be made to the office of the Chamber of Commerce or to Mr. C. N. Prouty, chairman of the committee, 611 Minnesota avenue. THE ADVOCATE DELIVERED AT ONLY 15c PER MONTH. YOUR DOOR EVERY WEEK FOR WHISKEY AND GIN IN HOT WATER BOTTLES WHISKEY AND GIN IN HOT WATER BOTTLES TOPEKA NEGROES FAILED TO GET BY POLICE WITH CRUDE TRICK. John and Paul Sims, Topeka negroes, brothers, thought in their crude way to "get by" the Kansas bone dry jaw. But the police were too much for them. The Sims brothers were arrested by Patrolman Ed Flournoy in the Union Pacific yards and when searched at headquarters each negro was found to be wearing a hot water bottle wrapped around his waist, one containing whiskey, the other gin. Police Judge Herrod assessed a fine of $100 each and 30 days in jail. A state charge also is to be placed against the negroes. The little baby boy of Mr. and Mrs. Roberts, 828 Nebraska avenue, has been very sick but is much better at this writing. Miss Bertha Hardin, 941 Splitlog received two handsome birthday presents Monday from her friend, Mrs M. C. Waters, on Barnett avenue. X ments will be made so that the boys may spend their nights at home going to and from work on the car. Applications should be made to the office of the Chamber of Commerce or to Mr. C. N.

A YOUNG LIFE GOES TO ITS REWARD On last Saturday, June 2, at the hour of 5 p. m. the death angel entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. H. Cox at 629 North Twelfth street and plucked from their fireside and family circle, their last born, Thos. H. Cox, jr., age 16 years and 10 months. This young man took ill shortly after the family moved here from Wichita some three months ago and with all the medical skill and mother's tender nursing he gradually lost vitality until last Saturday when the end came. While the family and also the afflicted had given up hopes of a reinstatement to health, as is natural when the hour came to say good bye they were not ready to give the parting words and that shock that comes to all mankind was present. This young man did not leave home, parents, brother, sister and friends without hope, but he had lived in harmony with his Master for a number of years and a few days before his demise, he stated to his pastor that all was well with his soul. The funeral was held from the house Tuesday afternoon. Rev. J. F. Griffin of First A.-M. E. church officiated, assisted by Rev. D. A. Holmes, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Temple. There were a number of resolutions and telegrams read, Mrs. Cox being worthy grand councilor of the Court of Calanthes of Knights of Pythias of Kansas. The floral offerings were large and beautiful. A chorus of young girls of First A. M. E. church furnished the music. Interment was made in Woodlawn cemetery. The Advocate extends its sincere sympathy to the bereaved. VERY LOW EXCURSION RATES TO NASHVILLE, TENN. "Not in the history of the Sunday School Congress has such a low round trip rate been put at the disposal of the Sunday school workers as has been offered for the twelfth annual session of the Sunday School Congress which weets in this city June 13 to 18," declared the Secretary of the Sunday School Congress this week when he handed out an announcement to the effect that a joint tariff giving the excursion rates authorized for the Congress this year has been issued. The Secretary of the Southeastern Passenger Association Territory sent this tariff in, which shows that the rates from all points South of the Ohio and Potomac rivers and east of the Mississippi, will be approximately one fare plus 500 for the round trip. "I take it, said the Congress Secretary, that is the one way fare from any point in this territory is $10.00, then the round trip fare from that point to Nashville will be $10.50." These tickets are to be on sale Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 11, 12 and 13th. They will be good to return June 21st. In other words, it is a ten days' excursion at the lowest rates that have been given. When the announcement was made at the Baptist Ministers' Conference Monday, renewed activity was taken on and the local committee, consisting of the pastors and superintendents of thirty-five Baptist churches and Sunday schools, held a special meeting to further perfect the plans for the coming of the visitors. The National Baptist Union-Review and the Nashville Globe, both published in this city, publish the full round trip fares from all the important points in the Southwestern Territory to Nashville. Prof. G. B. Buster, teacher in Summer High school, his wife and little baby girl, left Monday for Ohio where they will spend their summer vacation. They will visit Mr. Buster's folks at Wilmington, O., and Mrs. Buster's parents at Greenfield, O. Miss Sadie J. Buster, teacher in Stowe school, left Monday with her brother and family, Prof. Buster, for her summer vacation at Wilmington, O., where her parents live. NO.41 BIG CROWDS AT LINGOLN PARK KNIGHT TEMPLARS BAND ALL NEXT. WEEK—LINCOLN ELECTRIC PARK HAD TREMENDOUS CROWD LAST SUNDAY. While the weather has been anything but favorable for park amusements, the manager of Lincoln Electric Park, the beautiful amusement place for colored people, stated to an Advocate representative this week that he was well satisfied with the patronage thus far, taking weather conditions. Last Sunday being the first bright Sunday since their opening, the park was filled to its capacity. The evening crowds this week have been large and the large skating rink and pavilion have been full. The merry-go-round is kept busy whenever the weather will permit. Other attractions along the Mid-Way or Promenade are taking care of the overflow. KNIGHT TEMPLARS BAND Starting Sunday the famous Knight Templars band will be in the park all the week This noted musical body will give a special program daily and the general public of Greater Kansas City and the surrounding communities should avail themselves to hear these performers. Spend an evening at Lincoln Electric Park. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE A large congregation assembled in this church and at 11 a. m. listened to a splendid discourse by Pastor D. A. Holmes from Revelations. His apostolic doctrine was so fervent that at his close, five persons united with the church. The Baptismal service was also beautiful and effectiveness as it always is. At 7:45 p. m., another appreciative and large audience gathered and listened to the text from 2 Kings, 13th Chap., after which eight were fellowshipped into the church and (a total of) six joined. The ordinary collection was near $70. The Lord's Supper was taken and the congregation has grown so great, the silver service cups gave out. They will purchase two more sets. ATWOOD ICE CREAM CO STANDS THE TEST The Atwood Ice Cream Company at 606 Central avenue is one and about the only one in Kansas City, Kansas, that stood the test of the state inspector on his inspection of ice cream factories of this city. Everything was found within keeping of the state law on purity of quality and sanitary condition. This is a wholesale firm of a large capacity and they make and furnish ices and ice cream of any flavor desired. They deliver anywhere, any place and at any time. And they deliver from one half gallon to any amount wanted. They make a high grade cream at the same price as one would pay for, that does not at all times pass inspection. Their phone number and address can be found in their ad in this paper. NOTICE.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. AN APPRECIATIVE LETTER. AN APPRECIATIVE LETTER. The editor was in receipt of a nice letter this week from Rev. Geo. W. Prioulean, Chaplain 25th infantry, now stationed at Schofield barracks, Hawaiian Islands. The Chaplain stated their regiment had been drawn on for 84 non-commissioned officers, who will be sent to the colored officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. He also stated that the regiment was waiting for orders to go to the front. The Chaplain says he has gained 20 pounds since going on the island, weighing 168, and the family is well, with the exception of whooping cough of his three children. We wish to thank our old friend for such a fine message, and also for another year's renewal of The Advocate. In the patriotic parade Tuesday, there were some two hundred of our school children in line, besides the Boy Scouts. We also noticed a number of our colored firemen and mail carriers with their respective co-laborers, but not a black face could we see marching in our police squad. Tilford Davis, one of our popular mail carriers, was operated on Monday at the hospital and is reported to be getting along nicely. The operation is said not to be of a serious nature of which Mr. Davis' many friends will be pleased to hear. The editor acknowledges an invitation from his Alma Mater's fifty-fourth commencement of Wilberforce University, at Wilberforce, O., which takes place Thursday, June the tweney-first.

Women who suffer from extreme nervousness, often endure much suffering before finding any relief. Mrs. Joseph Snyder, of Tifin, O., had such an experience, regarding which she says: "Six months I was bedfast with nervous prostration. I had sinking spells, a cold, clammy feeling,—could not stand the slightest noise. At times I would almost fly to pieces; stomach very weak. My husband insisted on Miles' Nervide, and I began to improve before I had finished the first bottle until I was entirely cured." Many remedies are recommended for diseases of the nervous system that fail to produce results because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. Dr. Miles' Nervine has proven its value in such cases so many times that it is unnecessary to make claims for it. You can prove its merits for yourself by getting a bottle of your druggist, who will return the price if you receive, no benefit.

Bell Phone 138 Grand 5th and Oakland Ave MANHATTAN, KANSAS The proposed debate between the Progressive Literary Society and the Literary Society of Junction City, Kans., which was to have been last Friday evening, was postponed until Friday next, June 15, on account of the rainy weather. Mr. Arthur Anderson, with his son and daughter, Edward and Egypta, a part of a family of good musicians, appeared in the A. M. E. church last Wednesday evening before a nice audience. This family has appeared in many different countries of the world and are able to entertain anywhere. A week of program, beginning Tuesday, June 5th, will be rendered in the basement of the Second Baptist church, leading up to the grand opening, Sunday, the 9th. Each church and its pastor will have a right to appear, clearing what money it can toward the building fund. One of the best school programs ever witnessed in Douglass school was rendered last Thursday evening as the closing activities of a year's work for that school. The entire program was created by Miss Alberta Smith, the assistant teacher to Prof. E. C. Freeman. Miss Smith, having labored so strenuously during the last days of the close, was unable to appear in person to direct her program. Mrs. Lillian Carter and Miss Clarinda Alexander served as the directors. Miss Smith is still confined to bed under the doctor's care. The community herein expresses its deepest sympathy for her, with the hope of a speedy recovery. A few of our young men took examinations before the U. S. army authorities at Ft. Riley last week, at the same time make applications for officers' training in the camp to be opened for colored men at Des Moines, Iowa. These young men are to be commended for aspiring for the highest ranks possible for them. Rev. J. H. Wilson, a Baptist minister of our city, is making good as a pastor in Clay Center, Kans.

Bosse at the corner of Eighth and Minnesota avenue, dealers in wallpaper, paint and glass, has been one of the busiest houses of its kind in the city for the past two months. This is due in a large measure to the service and reliable standing this firm has. Another thing about this house, is they carry only the best in all departments and their prices compare with the lowest. A large, clean and handsome stock can always be found at A. L. Bosse's wall paper house. --- Take Notice: We are still jogging your memory about refusing to buy or eat DeCoursey's ice oream or his White Rose butter. He was the segregation candidate for mayor.

NOTICE: Argo-Phosphate which is recommended and prescribed by physicians in all enemic cases, is not a secret or patent medicine, but one that is sold and recommended by well known druggists everywhere, and physicians are daily subscribing the constituents contained in it. Being entirely unlike many other Phosphates, it is easily assimilated and will be found effective in the treatment of indigestion and stomach troubles, as well as for care worn, nervous conditions. The manufacturers of Argo-Phosphate will forfeit to any charitable institution $200.00 if they cannot treat any man or woman under 65 who lacks Phosphates, and increase their strength and endurance from 100 per cent. to 300 per cent. or more in one month's time, if they are free from organic trouble. It is dispensed by all reliable druggists. If your druggist will not supply you send $1.00 to the Argo Laboratories, 10 Forsyth St., Atlanta, Ga., and they will send you a two weeks treatment by return mail.

Dr. F. A. Jacobson says that Phosphates are just as essential to any man or woman who tires easily, is nervous, or irritable, worn out, or looks haggard and pale to make a strong, robust, vigorous healthy body, as they are to cotton to make it grow. The lack of Phosphate is the cause of all enemic conditions and the administration of 5-grain Argo-Phosphate tablets will increase the strength and endurance of weak, nervous, care worn men and women 300 per cent. in two or three weeks time in many instances, and their continued use will build up the whole nervous system, and give new life, vim, vigor and vitality to the whole body. I always prescribe Argo-Phosphate to patients who are pale and colorless, and it is surprising to see how quickly a few weeks treatment will transform a pale face to a rosy cheeked beauty. There can be no rosy cheeked, healthy, beautiful women without their system is sufficiently supplied with Phosphates. In recent interviews with physicians on the grave and serious consequences of a deficiency of Phosphates in the blood of American men and women I have strongly emphasized the fact that doctors should prescribe more phosphates in the form of Argo-Phosphate for weak, worn out, haggard-looking men and women. When the skin is pale, and flesh flabby, it is a sign of anemia. When the phosphates go from the blood, the TELEPHONES: Home 710 West Bell 3915 West R. D.
