KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS $1.50 NEGROES CONTRIBUTE WELL TO RED CROSS The Negroes did their part well in contributing to the Red Cross fund in the city. The lieutenants worked faithfully under the captaincy of Dr. D. A. Holmes. As the greater part of the colored donations were made through their employer, such as the packing plants, steel mills, elevators and all the federal employees we are only able to give the list received from the preclinet workers which is as follows: METROPOLITAN CHURCH. The auditorium was filled with a good crowd at the morning service and the pastor rendered another of his inspiring sermon and several joined the church. In the afternoon, an immense congregation gathered to witness the York Masons' annual sermon by Rev. E. P. Green. At 7:45 p. m., Pastor D. A. Holmes preached another fervent sermon to a large throng. The ordinary collection was near $100. In August this church will have a great rally and many captains are chosen to raise $25 apiece thus to obtain $1,000. Mr. S. H. Randolph, our popular mail clerk, is one of these captains. He also has in view a wonderful penny scheme where each person taking a book will give just 1 penny each day in the year making a total of $3.65 by 1918 for each 1,000 persons. He has selected Mrs. M. C. Matthews as his publicity agent. All should prepare to help Mr. Randolph in his zealous church work. Mr. Alva Royston preached such a good sermon last Wednesday night, that by vote of the church members, he was given a license to preach. EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE As Captain of the Negro Teams of Kansas City, Kas., we desire to express our gratitude to the Lieutenants for their work in the Red Cross War relief and the very fine showing made by the Negroes of Kansas City, Kas. When we include the packing plants, the Structural Steel, Peet Brothers, Railway Postal Clerks, Postmen and all in the various departments of the city and park board our grand total will amount to $5,675.00 which is a grand showing for the Negroes of Kansas City, Kas. (Signed) D. A. HOLMES, Captain of Negro Teams BIG 4TH JULY BASKET MEETING --THE BEST EIGHTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. The services were well attended last Sunday. Rev. Harris preached a good sermon at the morning service, and Rev. Dotson delivered an appreciative sermon in the evening. The church is doing splendid work in raising means to rebuild the church that was destroyed by fire; $1,493 has been raised thus far. The members are praying for the recovery of their faithful pastor, who has been confined to his room for several weeks. MASONS MAKE FINE SHOWING The 50th Annual Thanksgiving service of the F. & A. A. Y. Masons was held at the Metropolitan Temple, Sunday June 24th at 2 p. m. Their procession preceded by a band and the Women's Drill Corps proceeded to church followed by a large crowd of admirers. Rev. Moses' Johnson acted as Master of Ceremonies and the following program was rendered: Song, Metropolitan choir; invocation, Chaplain; song, choir; sermon, Rev. E. P. Green; address, Dr. N. S. Jenkins, P. G. M.; Invocation, Rev. J. W. Wilson of Westport; address, "Patriotism," Rev. D. A. Holmes; chorus with solo (classical), Mrs. Holmes and choir; annual address, Mrs. C. Briggs, G. C. S., from Atchison; solo, Mrs. I. Henderson (sweet); address, Mrs. D. Cummings (very good) reading, Mrs. E. Brooks, (good); paper, Mrs. B. Hayes; instrumental solo, M. Hawkins (good); reading, W. Buford. Rev. Green preached an inspiring sermon and Rev. Holmes was given a rising vote of thanks for his remarks. The drill corps was said by some present to be the finest women's team in the city. These York Masons are from the original ones in England and the ladies auxiliaries are all Heroines of Jericho. They always have aristocratic grand lodges, banquets and sermons. They are doing good work with Rev. Frank Wilson of Topeka, as their grand master. The possibilities are that they will increase greatly in numbers and cause many more to unite with them in taking care of the widows and orphans and to "meet upon the level and part upon the square." FIRST BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL. We were pleased to notice a large attendance at Sunday school, also to have obtained the liberal collection we did. Since some of the classes are very large it was thought necessary to have two more teachers in the persons of Mrs. Anna Hodge and Mrs. Mabel Reynolds. 11 o'clock services. Rev. Bowren discoursed upon Faith. Abraham justified by faith. Paul's version of it. The sermon was well delivered and was an oasis to some heart. Convention reports. Miss Mattie B. Tolbert on the B. Y. P. U. convention at Lawrence. Mr. Mobiley on Sunday school at Lawrence. Mrs. Francis Watson on Supt. convention at Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. Watson also made an interesting talk on the condition of our people in Georgia and other southern states. CHURCH EDITOR. Master H. K. Fuqua passed through here from Chicago en route to Pleasanton, Kas., to visit his grandparents. He visited his aunt, Mrs. Mattle Lawrence, while here. Mrs. Mary Green, of 934 Washington boulevard, will leave for Denver and Colorado Springs, Colo., to visit her daughter, Mrs. Waymond Ward, two or three months.

A NICE TIME IF YOU COME TO LINCOLN, 20TH AND WOODLAND. UNCLE IKE SPEAKS AGAIN ALONG THE LINE OF REASON. "Well, fer the love of Mike—eh here you ain't 'er gin,—wid dat Rez- zen-in bisiness—some more. "Yes—yes, I'se in town Honey,"— The' not per-zackly fer the love of Mike." Yes, I use back for the summer anyhow, maybe longer: It depends altogether, on how much comes up to be done, and how many there are to do it. And that brings us to a matter worth mentioning. I notice there has been a substantial and permanent organizations among "you all in the form of the Civic league. This step is to be highly commended; it truly is important, even necessary, and altogether the correct thing to do. Its force has been felt in a great measure even already, and for which it is entitled to commendation in the recent Red Cross work. And it may be observed, that its accomplishment in that cause; opened the field to new and additional endeavors for it. For, as unseemly as it may appear—yet 'tis true, that the citizens of our race who showed their un-selfish love of Justice, and their devotion to human help, by giving freely and liberally to the great Red Cross cause, have an apparently just cause of complaint. It is well known, how, well and successfully the work among us, was accomplished by that company of good women and girls, who sacrificed their time and money for the cause; under the wise and gentle leadership of Rev. D. A. Holmes. Also, that it was the same sort of service—if any difference there was—'Twas rendered under disadvantages not common to other companies and captains, and yet not mention has appeared as a report of the work done by these people, while the acts and the doings of all other companies were reported daily with appropriate commendation. While I am satisfied that neither Rev. Holmes, nor any of his excellent company of workers, are complaining, because not commended, still it is due to the public that it be known how much they gave and what became of it. And I have no doubt that the league will quietly, yet persistently, look into this matter, and learn what actuated such a course of conduct on the part of the public press representing the public conscience of a great commonwealth, now sorely pressed by the dread scourge of a ruthless red-handed war. I understand this matter will be discussed at the league meeting July 3rd at 4 o'clock p.m. at which a large attendance is expected. ALL HAIL, AND GOD SAVE—PROTECT AND INCREASE THE LDAGUE. Now den, dere's jes one little comment, what Your Uncle Ike wants ter make—an' he jes cain't he it—mean 'tis. In the words of that Matchless Master of them all, Carl Marx, to working-men, (paraphrased) "NEGROES, UNITE—ORGANIZE you have NOTHING TO LOSE—but your CHAINS OF OUT-RAGE and WRONG—you have THE WORLD of JUSTICE and RIGHT to GAIN." Mrs. Camille Briggs of Atchison, was in the city attending the Compact Masons' annual sermon. A BIG FOURTH Lincoln Elec Starting with Sunday and all n Jackson's 23rd Greatest Musical Organization MISS WILSON GIVES FINE PIANO RECITAL On Tuesday evening Prof. R. G. Jackson presented to the public Miss Elizabeth Wilson in piano recital at the First Baptist church. Miss Wilson performed with the greatest satisfaction to her appreciative audience and for a young miss she has but few equals. Her touch and harmony is exquisite, and with a few more years under that master teacher she will be classed with our best performers of the middle west. DEATH RATE MUCH LESS This year in April was observed for the second time the movement known as the National Negro Health Week. Statistics have been given out showing that the death rate among members of the race in this country has decreased, although it is still considerably higher than that of the white race. By various forms of education, by incipulation of the laws of hygiene and sanitation on the part of experts of both races, the ratio of mortality has become materially lessened. It remains to be seen, however, what effect northern migration, with severe climatic and miserable housing conditions will have upon the race. It is said that of 225,000 Negroos who die annually in the South, 100,000 could be saved from death by applying the rules of modern medicine which operate on a prophylactic rather than a curative basis. The credulity of the Negro has been capitalized, particularly in the South, by manufacturers of patent medicines according to a bulletin issued by Hampton Institute. More than 60 per cent of Negroes are addicted to the use of nostrums and in some districts of the South 100 per cent. The larger number of these false remedies cultivate the use of alcoholic liquors. Judging from advertising which is observable in many religious papers throughout the South that the Negro is not the only patent medicine guzzler in that region.—The Standard. SALE NOTICE.

THOUSANDS LEAVE NATIVE LAND The State of Alabama Has Lost Over 50,000 Negroes Since the Great Migration Movement—Conditions Are Alarming. Montgomery, Ala.—The state of Alabama has lost over 50,000 Negroes since the great migration movement, and many white people have become greatly alarmed over the loss of so many colored people from this section. The following startling charge has been made against the white people of the South by Mayor W. T. Robertson in speaking of the unfair treatment to which Negroes have been subjected since the Civil war: "There is money in farming, lots of it, but the Negro farmer has been systematically robbed by the white man since the close of the Civil war. They haven't been treated right and no one can blame them for quitting the soil. If the Negro farmers would be returned all the interest in excess of 8 per cent, charged them for money advanced them, they would today be living in brownstone mansions, just as the rich white advancers do. How the Negro has been treated is borne out by an instance which happened last week. An old Negro came to me and asked me if I could 'advance' him this year. I asked him if he had a 'falling out' with his white folks. He replied that his white folks, who had been making money off him for 25 years, had decided to refuse him any credit this year, as they feared he was growing old and perhaps would die before another crop was ade."—Interstate Reporter.

Owner Before discussing the graduating exercises of Lincoln high school one must recognize the capable leadership and acknowledged executive ability of Principal Lee, who with his staff of capable teachers gave a demonstration at Convention Hall that, to use a quotation, "far surpassed the expectation of his most sanguine friends." The fact that Convention Hall was actually filled with Negroes convinced the most skeptical that the Negro race in this city can be deeply interested in anything that pertains to their vital interest if presented by the proper person in the right manner. It was gratifying to note that the musical numbers were accompanied by a Negro orchestra which, considering the fact that it was composed of students of the school, gave very creditable service and due credit therefore must be given its instructor. The practical topics of the graduates so interestingly given were acceptable to the vast audience and the automobile number was so novel that it could be called a thrilling climax. Unhappily the reverend gentleman who spoke in behalf of the alumni members of many past classes must have been surprised and disappointed that the audience clapped him down. The gentleman should heed the handwriting on the wall that the masses of his race are now beginning to appreciate sound practical ideas and teachings and they are conscious of the emptiness of high sounding phrases that dissolve in thin air. To be sure, good manners and proper moral must be taught our people and a little spirituality is necessary to feed the hungry soul and give ideals and inspiration to the mind. As our people get more intelligent they are seeing the wisdom of being practically useful In this world and are less and less attracted by the graphic descriptions given by a certain class of the clergy of an unknown world. Candidly, the more intelligent a man becomes the less merit he sees in merely walking on gold paved streets. But to return to the audience at Convention Hall. To the thinker its size and race solidarity was a revelation, its interest in the cause of education was very hopeful and one could not help seeing the vast field for the Negro professional and business man capable to satisfy the needs and wants of his people. There is a Negro barber in this city who ran a white shop for quite a while until either prejudice or his lack of good service caused his trade to drop away from him. His friends advised him to run a mixed shop or a straight out Negro shop, but he persistently refused until his patrons dropped to one or two roughnecks. He became almost a year in arricars in rent, he got sick, his trade quit him, he is now shopless, penniless, lodgless and dying-on his feet when he could have been making a living serving his race and when he is dead and buried perhaps in a potters' field a fitting epitaph on his grave will be "Here lies a fool barber." I am told that at the oratorical contest of this school the young men acquitted themselves ably on the theme, "The Value of Business to the Negro." Charles Dickens, the great novelist, made one of his schoolmaster characters teach his pupils various verbs and when they learned them thoroughly he would make them perform in a practical manner their actions. Thus when a boy learned the verb, to scrub, and its moods and tenses, he was then sent to scrub thoroughly his master's kitchen. Now if the young men and the audience who heard and approved and applauded them would put into practice their themes and patronize their people in business, then the civil progress of the race would receive a big lift. Altogether it was a big lift. Altogether it was a big week for Lincoln High. J. A. WILSON. NO.44 NOTICE. ADVERTISING RATES Made on Application. Bell Phone, West 2968.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Keep in mind the story of doing something and escaping the police. Since we voluteered and registered and donated our services to the government on registration day why are we forgotten when the boards are made up? Why is loyalty so generally remunerative and honorable, committees so one-sided? Why did not the governor nominate some of us to go to New York or somewhere and get information so we could from the platform arouse our people to the needs of the hour? Is this war of any concern to us. We should be pleased to have a share, since it must be, in the preparation, consummation and final adjustment Why are we so out of mind? "Jackson, Miss. Both races armed. Trouble feared." No fear of trouble when the black man is unarmed, or disarmed by the law. When he is without arms a quiet, orderly dignified mob destroys body and property. The black man is loyal. Surrenders his personal police power and puts his trust in the police power of the city or state. Many the time he is without the promised support. If Captain Hobson is right in his scientific analysis of alcohol, expect this nation is in a mighty bad way. He is of the impression that the saloon and the social evil will whip America is immediate and drastic action is not taken to abolish them. This is not encouraging in view of prevailing conditions.

Woman Finally Recovers From Nervous Breakdown Impoverished nerves destroy many people before their time. Often before a sufferer realizes what the trouble is, he is on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. It is of the utmost importance to keep your nervous system in good condition, as the nerves are the source of all bodily power. Mrs. Rosa Bonner, 825 N. 18th St., Birmingham, Ala., says: "I have been suffering with nervous prostration for nine or ten years. Have tried many of the best doctors in Birmingham, but they all failed to reach my case. I would feel as if I was smothering; finally I went into convulsions. My little girl saw Dr. Miles' Nervine advertised in the papers and I at once began to take it. I continued to take it for some time and now I am well." If you are troubled with loss of appetite, poor digestion, weakness, inability to sleep; if you are in a general run down condition and unable to bear your part of the daily grind of life, you need something to strengthen your nerves. You may not realize what is the matter with you, but that is no reason why you should delay treatment. Dr. Miles' Nervine has proven its value in nervous disorders for thirty years, and merits a trial, no matter how many other remedies have failed to help you. Sold by all druggists.

Bell Phona 138 Grand 6th and Oakland Ave DRYDALE > SALOONS MOVE OUT Leavenworth, June 28.—Following the report of an order declaring mar. tial law in Drydale, across the state line from Leavenworth and conceded to be the “wettest town in the world,” proprietors of saloons began at noon to move out of the village. ‘The official order had not been re- ceived when preparations began. The town contains four saloons and three wholesale ligor houses, and has been in existence several years on the Missouri bank of the river. <A recent order issued prohibited sol- diers from crossing the line from the fort, but officers reported booze was being sold to the military men, and authorities began a campaign to close liquor trafic in the village. The move will leave only a barber shop and blacksmith shop in Drydale. Col. Little's Million Dollar Ap- propriation Causes Rejoicing Among Citizens AID INDUSTRIAL GROWTH Passage of Measure By Senate Will Mean Early Start On Improvements ‘The news from Washington that Col. H C. Little had secured for Kansas City, Kas, a share in the Missouri and Kaw river improye- ments out of the $27,000,000 Rivers and Harbors appropriations, told in ‘The Globe yesterday. brought rejoic- ing to the business men of the city. For years, since steamboat traffic on the Missouri river was restored to any considerable proportions, the business interests of this city have been hoping to secure such channel and harbor improvements as would put this city on an equality with Kansas City, Mo. Col. Little's amendnient to the bill provides for all that, and should the Tfouse bill be passed by the senate that is lttle doubt but that Kansas City, Kas.’ ambition will be’ realized. Col. Littlc’s amendment provides that the river imprevement at Kan. sas City shall be continued up to apove Kansas City, Kas. as far as Quindaro Bend, extending the work about three and one-half miles. Im- provement of this stretch of the channnel has bee sought by the drain. age board for several years in con- nection with their flood protection work. It also will give Kansas City, Kas. ,the same commercial advantage of the river "as Kansas City, Mo. ‘The same fight was made on the Missouri river appropriation as in previous years, the argument being that the project was not beasible and a waste of money. Borland of Kansas City, Rucker and Alexander of Missouri and Little of Kansas de- {neded the project and secured the appropriation of $1,060,000. Rev, C. Mohammed of North Africa passed through the city Sunday and attended the evening service at the First A. M, E. church.

English Rainproof Mohair Suits If you buy your suit of us you cause we make the clothing in our rectly to the wearer in all the prin If you buy your suit of us you save the Middle Man's Profit, because we make the clothing in our own tailor shop and sell them directly to the wearer in all the principal cities in the U. S. K. C., K. Branch, 524 Minnesota K. C., Mo. 1121 Walnut The Wonder Clothing company that recently opened up and added another Wonder Clothing store to their long chain of houses throughout the United States, is meeting that same approval, that all the other stores have done and are doing today. There is no secret to the success of the Wonder Clothing company as they don't believe in secreting anything from their customer and that alone is success. But let us state a few things of the Whys. In the first place they buy from their own tailor shops which means a saving of the middle man's profit or 25 per cent, whereby the customer gets the middle man's 25 per cent. Another large saving to the customer is there are no traveling salesmen to get another piece, so it is an evident fact one can nearly cut their clothes bill in half in buying from a house of this kind, and always wear high class tailor made clothes. The Kansas City, Mo., store at 1121 Walnut, has always had a big trade from the Kansas side, and this new store at 524 Minnesota avenue, was established solely to accommodate their large Kansas trade and the up-to-date clothes buyers are certainly taking the advantage of the Wonder clothing. A certain popular widow was offered $25 by a good charactered widower, for the Red Cross if she would let him go with her with a view to matrimony and as she did not accept the offer she did not get a penny for the Red Cross from him. Wedding bells rung on a street not far from Washington boulevard. Ask a certain popular pastor. Mrs. Rhodes on Washington boulevard organized a Blue Ribbon club for children which meets at the Y. W.

The church building is finished in white stucco. Rev. T. F. Jones is an alert, active, conscientious minister and pastor. We are sorry that his five years close this fall.

Dr. McDonald, editor Western Christian Recorder, preached at the morning service and the pastor, Dr. Griffin, delivered a strong spiritual sermon at the evening service. Sunday being set apart as rally day, although no fixed organizations had been planned, the people laid down in cash $1,004 which came out of the pockets of its members and church going friends. There are still others to come in this Sunday. Dr. Griffin closed his first month last Sunday as pastor of this church and the net cash raised in the four weeks were $1,727.84. Quite a flattering showing for 30 days. The contract was let this week for the plumbing in the basement and as soon as it is completed the concrete floor will be put in. The pulpit will be filled this Sunday both morning and evening with able speakers. FIREWORKS AND PATRIOTISM The time has passed when any one believes that real patriotism can best find expression in a pandemonium of torpedoes and giant crackers, or even in nocturnal displays of beautiful fireworks. In these critical times when every ounce of powder is needed for the guns that shall defend the nation, needless waste of these precious materials not only is not an expression of patriotism but is an actual hindrance to our boys who will go to the front. The attendant waste of life and valuable property in the past should also be taken into account. In the last fourteen years 1,892 people have been killed and 42,909 have been wounded by the use of fireworks and other high explosives on the Fourth of July. There are plenty of ways in which to express patriotism without grasting valuable military resources, destroying costly property by fire and sacrificing the lives of our children. It is to be hoped that all good citizens will co-operate with the local authorities in making Independence Day, 1917, a genuinely "Sane Fourtn." State Fire Marshal.
