ANOTHER BIG MEN'S MEETING AT FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28TH. 3 P. M. 1 (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z) A Paper that Prints the News and Tells the Truth. Delivered at your door regularly every week at 150 per month. VOL. 5. TW SUNDAY IS FOOD CONSERVATION DAY PRESIDENT WILSON APPEALS FOR COLORED AID AND UNITED NATION. Washington, D. C., Oct—Sunday, Oct 21, is to be observed as Food Conservation Day in all the churches of the country, in response to a patriotic call made to them by the Food Administration. It is expected that on this day the claims of food conservation will be presented to all congregations, and the home and pledge card program described so the people will know what is coming, and be ready to respond. During the next few weeks an effort will be made to organize every church, society and other organization to help enroll all families for food conservation. Every-man, woman and child can make some contribution toward the winning of this war, and all good Americans will do their duty as soon as it is shown to them. It is only a question of a few weeks before a million Americans will be on the battlefield, fighting for democracy. Some will give freely their lives for the same. They are determined to win this war, and win it they must. But we must realize that they must be fed, and it is up to us to feed them. Not only are we required to feed our men, but we must feed the Allies, for in France, England and Italy food is scarce, and we must supply it. Only a little care is required from each of us. If each individual of our millions saves a little, the total will be immense. The colored American must do his part. The ministers must write to Arthur U. Craig, United States Food Administration, Washington, D. C., and get full information and prepare their people to take part in the October drive. They must all do their duty. The race has always been loyal and patriotic, and it must keep up the record now. If it were necessary to eat only one meal a day in order to help win the war, then we should do that. But this is not necessary. We are not asked to etarve ourselves. Herbert Hoover, United States Food Administrator, asks that all loyal Americans "eat plenty but wisely and without waste." Our sons will be in the trenches side by side. With them, they will go to victory or to death. They will defend with their lives Old Glory, and they stand ready now to do what they are told. Fortunately for the colored race in America, it knows but one flag, one country, and ONE PRESIDENT. We are not foreigners, but are truly Americans. There are enough Germans in the world to get one colored man to raise his hands against Old Glory. For the education of our people in the matter of food conservation, every colored editor in the country will throw open his columns and freely give his space. They are anxious to help in this fight, and are asking the government to tell them what is wanted, and it shall be done. The twelve million colored people in the United States must be reached and they must be educated. The selection of Arthur U. Craig, of Washington, D. C. for this work is considered by the colored people themselves a good selection. This department is being thoroughly organized, with some of the best colored men and women in the country connected with it. Every organization among colored people is cooperating in the work. They are assisting one or more of their best workers to be associated with Mr. Craig, and these workers, as he is, are serving with out pay. They are patriotic. They are interested in their country. Sunday, 12 April, 1911. This large structure, dedicated to the Lordl, had Dr. J. T. Hill as his pulpitreater at each of its regular services. At 11 a.m. his text was taken from Zech. 2:11.2. "God Measuring Jerusalem." In part he said, "The love of God is immeasurable, and the greatest destiny of man is being like Jesus. We have no language adequate to define the beauties of Heaven, the New Jerusalem." John's prison gave a slight description when the saw a number that no man could number. His sermon was a spiritual warning for men to follow Christ to the end and enjoy the beautiful glories of God in eternity. At 7:45 this great apostolic leader preached from 11 Cor. 5:20. "Now, then, we are ambassadors for Christ, be ye reconciled to God." In part he said, "Since we are ambassadors of Jesus, we Christians are foreigners here. Therefore our language should be hearsay, and we should speak and, not so all many we are sons of God." Not do what we term little ones, secret sins, etc. For just as we fear Satan gets yen to do tricks TWELVE MONTHS $1 50 thinga, this emissaries will say you are no better than they are. As to pleasures, the greatest pleasure is following Christ. For that we get the greatest reward. He said -true Christians should never fear, as God is the greatest and truest Being and His word will never fall. Rev. J. T. Hill is truly a great preacher and his words were very elifying to the large audience. - Two united with the church. Mr. Jasl Ford, head of the, Deacon Board, gave the invocation and the choir sang "He Is Mine" sweetly with Mr. C. White as soloist. The collection was good. All Christians were admonished to pray, especially for Pastor D. A. Holmes, who is undergoing throat operations. At the close of the service, an informal reception was given to Rev. Hill, who was to leave for Hot Springs, Ark., to hold a ten day revival. He will return here if necessary and remain a week. Sunday, Oct. 21st, Rev. Dotson, will preach at both services in the temple. He also, preaches well. All members, friends and sinners are invited. DR. BUNDY MUST STAND TRIAL HEORIC DENTIST EXTRADITED FROM CLEVELAND, OHIO, TO EAST ST. LOUIS. Columbus, O. Oct. 13. Governor Lowden of Illinois for the extradition of Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, heoric colored dentist, now held in jail in Cleveland for alleged complicity in the East St. Louis race riots early in July. Dr. Bundy is charged with leading the colored men of East St. Louis in defense of their homes on the fateful 2d of July, 1917. The matter has been pending for about two months. Governor Cox, in an explanation of the delay in granting the extradition, said that it had been caused by his fear that race feeling in St. Clair county, ill., was so strong that harm might come to Dr. Bundy. CITIZENS' FORUM President Buster is a punctual man, and, although at first, there were not many present, opened the Forum on time. The quotations were good, but the current events were very, very good as many of them were of vital importance to our race. After a while many who had been attending other meetings came in. Miss Daisy Reed, of Summer High school, played a beautiful waltz and her execution was so good she was encored. Then came the speaker of the evening, Judge I. F. Bradley; subject, "The Wherefore of Our Every Act." It is based on "Misconception." He said in part. No one is satisfied with what they have to day. Rockefeller and Morgan can draw their checks for one billion dollars, but can not use any more than we. The result of misconception is what Christ preached against, saying, "Lay not up treasures in Heaven, etc." "As a man thinketh so is he." His climax was a plea for the democracy of Christ. A few should not be allowed to corner and possess everything, but fields, food, lands, etc., should be used (free) for the common good. He also made a plea for the Lord's prayer, greatest of all prayers, which should not be set aside for other prayers; and believes there is hope from this war expenditure of $3,500,000 a day, also hopes for a cessation of this maclustrum of economic disturbances from war; and thinks that it will come only through a Christ like spirit. At the close of this great address, resembling a sermon, he received very great aplause. The address was discussed by Prof. Jno. Hodge, Mr. A. Saunders, Prof. J. P. King, Mr. J. T. Thomas, Rev A. Browne, and President Buster. Sunday, Oct. 21st, at 4 p.m., Mme. D. Walker-Booker, a good speaker, will speak on "Dreams and Dreamers," and the Alabama Quartet will sing. Don't miss the Forum, the largest intelligent civic body in the twin cities. Forum Publicity Committee. Women's Day Sunday, Nov. 18th. BIBLE CLASS. The Neighborhood Bible Class meet with Mrs. Gardner and were led by Mrs. B. Carroll and meet again with Mrs. Holmes on Oakland and both meetings were spiritual. Mrs. Williams spoke at the last meeting. The next meeting is Wednesday, Oct. 24; at Mrs. F. Morris', 721 Everett avenue. Lesson Col. 3rd Chapter. The local talent that supported Madame Walker-Booker 'nursery' evening was of high order in every respect. Kansas City, Kas, has easily the superior talent when it comes to numbers that can be found in the west. Mr. James Stafford, 405 State avenue employee, is visiting in St. Paul and will stop off in Kalamazoo and Chicago on his return home. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS OCTOBER, 19 1917. COLORED SOLDIERS FACING GALLOWS TWENTY-FOURTH MEN FACING DEATH SENTENCE BY COURTMARTIAL. El Paso, Oct.—Developments inn the preliminary inquiry by an army board into the recent rioting of colored troops at Houston have been such that the whole 24th Infantry has virtually been placed under arrest at Columbus, N. M., where the battalion is stationed. Of the rest of the battalion 156 troopers are in the stockade at Fort Bliss, and 26 are in the stockade at Columbus. In the rioting in Houston 17 whites were killed, and more than a score wounded. The main body of the Third Battalion, under actual arrest, is held under guard in a quadrangle at Columbus. Testimony collected by the Board of Inquiry is being completed, but the date of the convening of the court martial on which four Bitgadier Generals are expected to sit, has not been set. The court martial, the greatest of its kind in the history of the United States, will bring under guard the whole Third Battalion, officers and men, to the place of meeting. It is the official opinion that many of the troopers will be executed by hanging instead -- being allowed the more honorable death at the hands of a firing squad, and that a number of officers may be tried on charges yet to be filed. No officer of the battalion will be allowed to transfer to another regiment before the convening of the court martial. BATHURST STOVE GO. The only exclusive store store in Kansas City, Kas., is the Bathurst stove firm, 614 Minnesota avenue. Stoves are their specialty, buying direct from the store foundry, and by the carload. So one can readily see where a firm, like this one has the advantage over a store who buys from the jobber or as some call them, the middlemen. Anyway there is a big difference when you notice the price and quality. This store has doubled its capacity every year since it entered business. When you visit this store, if you like you say to the manager what The Advocate said concerning their advantages over others. Prof Nutall, one of the old school teachers about Kausa City and Wyandotte county, passed away this morning after a short illness at his home, 619 New Jersey avenue. His sickness was known to his many friends, but little did they think it being of such a serious nature. The Advocate extends to the family in their sad hour, its sincere sympathy. 8-ROOM HOUSE FOR SALE. A good 8-room house; 1½ story; 5 rooms on first floor; 3 rooms on second floor; good cellar; cistern; gas; good barn. On corner lot 45 by 120 feet. About two blocks from Quindaro car line. Price $2,400. Terms $500.00 cash and balance on monthly payments. See W. M. Stratton, 603 Minnesota Ave., Room 209. Scripture Cake to Be Cut Sunday. Club number 15. The Happy Hunters will give a fine program Sunday afternoon at 3 p. m. at First A. M. E. church. Miss Mabel Jackson will sing a solo and Lawyer C. H. Callaway of Kansas City, Mo., will give an address. At the close the large and much talked-of Scripture Cake will be cut and distributed to those present. MRS. ANNA HOLDER, Captain. CONGRESSMAN LITTLE HOME. Col. E. C. Little and his wife arrived home Wednesday morning from Washington. Col. Little has made a fine record in the lower house of his first term and the second district of Kansas should feel proud of being represented by such an able statesman and lawyer. THREE FINE LOTS CHEAP. We have a .75 foot frontage or a fine building lots. Will sell cheap. Cistern on lot and water in the street. Bearing fruit trees and good chicken house. Cee Martin W. Stratton, Room 209 Portsmouth Bldg., Home Phone West 258. Rev. G. E. Horsey, after spending some four weeks with his legion of friends here left Tuesday evening for his home in Great Falls, Mont. The doctor gave a number of addresses and delivered several appreciative sermons while in the city and neighboring communities. MUSICALE OF A HIGH CLASS. The musical Tuesday evening at First A. M. E. church under the management of Mrs. Mabel Clayborne deserves of much praise in many ways. Probably there has never been a higher class of local talent before any audience in the two cities, and made up of Greater Kansas City than the program rendered Tuesday evening. While we may not be able to speak of stars in the full sense of the meaning; but one could see a flash of some very brilliant sparks. A most gratifying and music-loving audience shower their hearty appreciation. Invocation ..... Rev I. J. F. Griffin Piano Duett—William Tel Overture ..... Mrs. Summers, Miss S. Miller Violin .....

Building Shattered—Windows Fallen Out of Homes for Many Blocks. About 2:30 Wednesday morning the home of J. W. Bell, colored, at 409 Waverly avenue, was nearly blown to kindling wood from the explosion of dynamite that had been placed in the coal chute on the east side of the house. All that side of the large two-story house was wrecked and nearly every window was broken. None of the occupants were injured, only a severe shake-up and a nervous scare. Windows were broken in the neighboring houses for nearly a block around. It's somewhat a mystery as why this murderous intent was made, as Mr. Bell had lived in that neighborhood and years and was a quiet and peaceful citizen. If these murderous desparacies are not brought to justice soon, it's no telling where such attacks will stop. Talking about the war, incendaries and German plagues. It seems that peace at home is the most essential thing to pray for at this time. Bell Main 2302 Specializing Union-Nado CLOTHING OF MERIT MERIT CLOTHING CO. 1019 Main Street HANGAS CITY, MO.

ADVOCATES AVIATOR "SOMEWHERE" REPORTER EASTERN TRAVEL NOTES BY A. — N. OBSERVER. Friend Editor: My last notes were sent from Washington, Penn, and since then I have have made the trip from W. s. by Penn. R. R to Baltimore and from there by steamer to famous Norfolk I shall mention two special incidents of the trip. 1. Arriving at Harrisburg, P. r the train was two hours late and the train for Baltimore and W. wington D. C., had lost patience with us and had left before our arrival. That what do you think happened? Well, we quarrelled and booked sour and the officials decided to give us passengers, just twelve in number, a special The special consisted of an engine and one coach, and I tell the honest truth when I tell you that it made more than a "mile a minute," for we made the distance from Harrisburg to Baltimore in less than two hours when it usually requires three hours. Just think of your humble servant riding on a Penn, special and flying faster than sixty miles an hour. 2. The second incident I mention midstly, for it was a surprise and was "so sudden!" Briefly told it was a reception by some friends and admirers, male and females (mo ty female, but do not tell it), at the house of one of Observer's friends. Being quite thirsty the cream disappeared till it was dangerous to go to sleep. It is such a nice thing to have friends, especially when they have ice cream about midnight. 3. The third incident had to do with the trip from Baltimore to Norfolk, and involved race prejudice. Negro ignorance and prayers for patience. It is indeed we'll that the victim was not an editor, for editors are—nice fellows. When I bought my ticket for Norfolk and asked for a state room, the clerk declared that he could give me only the carapace room, notwithstanding that there were three hundred rooms and about one hundred passages. He gave me No. 30, a number I shall remember till I cross the river and I fear I shall be afraid on No. 20 on "The Old Ship of Zion" after this experience. It was an inlet room where the only chances for ventilation was a little peep-hole opening into the saloon, and that little air was everything but frost. The room was near the bells and there was no such thing as quiet, for the bells rang every few minutes. Moreover, it was the hangout of the belt boys, males waiters, et cetera, and they talked like people at a place rather than on a beat, and like midnight, they talked as if it were mid day. Agata I am gled I was not an editor, for I know my religion would not have stood the test. In addition to all three "tails" and tribulations," I was amid a cluster of Negro passengers, and the ones in the room neat to me talked loud, rang the bell otery few minutes, beat on the walls—and I would not like to hear the walls' tell all that did happen in that room. They were continually ordering something or calling "The Mald." They ordered so many "chicken sandwiches" that the waiter ran the price up from 40 cents each to 80 cents each, in order to get rid of them; and they bought them at 80 cents each—50 cents for a "chicken sawhail!" After these noise makers were exhausted and sleepy, I had about two hours sleep and was glad to find that it was day. I dressed, put on my overcoat and sat out in the ope nail on the deck and enjoyed the fine, brazing morning air. After a night on the great Chemeake Bay, the morning brought us insight of Norfolk. We passed Hampton, Va., and from the skimmer we could see the tower of the chapel of Hampton Institute, the alma mater of Booker T. Washington and the prototype of Tuskegee. "We passed Old Point Corfort, and for once it was neither stormy nor foggy; thanks to Old Point. We had a glimpse of Fortress Moncey, the strongest fort in the U.S. It commands the entrance from the Atlantic ocean into the bay, and woe to the hostile vessel that would attempt to enter, for the great guns would shatter any vessel before it could come within range of the fort. Passing through the world-famed Hampton Roads, I saw a number of those foreign vessels which are loaded with the grain that is wasting and concerning which so much is being raised. Swedish, Dutch, Norwegian, Scandinavian, Danish, and other vessels are there tugging at their anchors and with their great cargoes of wasting, rotting grain. Among them I saw a number of Belgium Relief ships, soon to get out and go on their mission of mercy—if the U-boats do not get them. From Hampton roads we entered the Elizabeth River which divides Norfolk from Portsmouth and the great navy yard of the government, arriving at Norfolk about 8:36 a.m. I was glad to step on the In the next notes I shall tell you more of Norfolk, its Negroes by the thousands and what they are doing—good points and bad ones. Praying that the editor may have patience and may not "fall from grace" as so many editors before him have done (that is, if they ever rose). Yours on the wing. A. N. OBSERVER.

Secretary, Paul Saymore. Motto: "From School Life to Life's School." Columbus day was observed last Friday. All classes were assembled and up stairs and given an interesting talk on the discovery of America. Night school began October 15. People are noticeing the in proved order on the school ground. Let all boost the school. Rev. J. C. C. Owens preached two interesting and helpful sermons last Sunday. Those who do not attend any church services are missing a good deal. Dr. Wrenes has had a long and careful experience and those are fortunate indeed who are in a position to get the benefit of hearing his thoughtful sermons. Glen-Olive We would be glad to head your good deeds. Get some one to write a few lines. Hand them to Prof. Gregg at Western University. Highland Baptist: You are doing some good work. Let us know about it. Prof Gregg will receive any interesting matter. Rev. Thurston has moved into his new and own home. Nothing as good is being on your own soil. Bro. Thatcher is a happy man. Congratulations, Bro. Thatcher. We did not know you were thinking. But who knows when a man is thinking about getting married? We are informed that theirs was a fine church wedding. We did not learn the particulars. Let us know about them. That is what a newspaper is for. Don't do these things in a corner. Mrs. Pearl Williams is in the hair dressing business. More about it later. Rev. R. E. Everett, the new pastor of the Argentine A. M. E. church and his family have moved from Cofferville and are pleasantly located at 2324 Ruby avenue. Dr. Everett entertained the annual conference this year in fine style.

CAMP FUNSTON FOR NEGRO SOLDIERS Secretary Baker Says Negro Soldiers Will Go to Camp Funston. Secretary Baker of the War Department has issued orders for colored soldiers in the first draft to be sent to Camp Funston, Kas. All arangements are being made at the camp for about 12,000, of which the greater bulk will come from the Mississippi Valley. The officers from captain down will be colored, of whom were trained at the officers' training school at Demolines, Ia., and were dismissed last Saturday and are now having a few weeks' furuflough before they go to Camp Funston. HERMIONE COURT SPRINGS SUR- PRISE ON ITS WORTHY COUNSELLOR At its first meeting for this month Hermione Court, Order of Calanthe sprung a surprise on its Worthy Councillor, Mrs. Norene E. Davis which will be long remembered by all the participants therein. Notwithstanding the fact that about six weeks had been spent in the preparations, no inkling had reached the beloved presiding officer. She was astonished when a committee, headed by Mrs. Fannle Lake, arose and through their spokesman, announced themselves as a grievance committee." What was wrong now? What had happened in the Court to make such a committee necessary? were questions which agitated the bewildered Worthy Councillor. Mrs. Lake, in a speech that will be long remembered, gradually folded the purpose of the committee, and as a ollmax, presented the astonished Worthy Chancellor a Past Worthy Councillor's jewel which had been made to order for the occasion, and 'astonishment gave way to a flood of tears. Mrs. Davis has been but five years in the order, but in that short time has risen to the exalted position of Grand Worthy Councillor of the state and its jurisdiction. ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF C. M. E. CHURCH. The annual conference of the C. M. E. church will open its session next Wednesday at 9 a.m. with Bishop M. P. Jalinson of Texas, presiding.

STOCK YARDS SWEPT OUT BY FIRE; THOUSANDS OF CATTLE AND HOGS BARBECUED BLAZE DISCOVERED IN A HAY S HED NEAR UNION PACIFIC TRACKS AT 2:15 O'CLOCK TUESDAY MORNING, RESULTS IN GREATEST FIRE IN CITY'S HICTORY. J. B. Dill, assistant fire chief of the Kansas City, Kas., department is most positive in his assertion that the fire at the stock yards is of an incendiary nature. Chief Dill was first on the ground this morning and is in a position to know. He said that at the odd method in which the hay was burning first gave him grounds for the suspicion and later on the peculiar way that it spread strength end his feelings. United States officers of the secret service who are investigating as to whether or not German agents started it, could not be reached this morning as to the truth of the matter. While none of the stock yards officials would state for publication their views on the subject speculation runs rife as to just how it started. Little credence is placed on the report that a man was seen running away after the fire started. There are always countless rumors and that is probably one of them. In case an arrest is made prosecution would be conducted by the government and not by the stock yards, under the espionage act. England in the beginning of the war was the scene of many dangerous man sources and this may be one, fire that were later traced to Gertoo. While some scott at the idea of Chief Dill, others point to the war plots over there and feel with him. No one can state for a few days, at least as to whether it was set or if the sparks from a passing engine set it off, so until then we have to wait.

The cattle, locked in their pens. The blaze, however, had burst out of the shed and, with a strong wind showing from the north and east, it was traveling through the alleys and pens and wooden feed racks, filled with hay, almost with the rapidity of a prairie fire. From all parts of the two cities fire companies rushed to the yards, hooking their hose onto plugs in the alleys that run through the yards and also the streets fire blocks around.

The men could do little more than to surround the fire in three alleys and to complete the destruction in an area embracing about 60 acres lying between Georges Stripes and the river and surrounding The musical Tuesday night was a treat from every point.

Everybody is busy at the First A. M. E. church. Should you find any professing ones not busy; they belong to the down and outs. Bro. Albert Brown leaves this week for Wilberforce to continue the study of theology. The church is praying for his success. The services were well attended last Sunday. A warm welcome was given the many visitors. Come again, my friends. If you have no church home in the city make your home with us in the work of the Master. A large number of the auxillaries meet this week. They are doing a great work in this division of our church. You may depend upon them in time of need. We wish to command the men of our race for the stand they are taking in the industrial conditions "around and about here." These are times that afford an excellent opportunity to put to flight a certain element who have been busy for years. Get ready for our revival. Let us be prepared in every way to be used for the Master when the time arrives. The choir is giving great service. Which one is it—evens or odds—that will be banqueted.

No one can state for a few days, at if the sparks from a passing engine set Twelfth street down almost to the tall exchange building at Sixteenth street. In this area, however, were approximately 12,500 cattle, which were in the pens, and several thousand hops confined in the concrete hog houses. Only the concrete hog house was saved. The cattle, locked in their pens, weer cut off from all means of escape and thousands of them were sufficited by the heat and smoke. Saved Hundreds, of Cattle. Employees in the yards and hundreds of men from the packing houses went in and saved all the cattle they could by driving them down the arrows to the lower end of the main yards, or across the bridges to the quarantine yards on the Armourdal side of the river. The heat from the fire was intense, and large sparks were blown across the river by the high wind, threatening the quarantine yards. Two or three times the quarantine yards caught fire, but each time the fire was successfully extinguished and it AT damage was done. A double deck bridge used to take stock back and forth across the river was burned, however. Stopped by Hog House. It was announced at 3:55 o'clock an hour and forty minutes after it had begun, the fire bed jumped across Sixteenth street and began devouring the wooden enclosed concrete structure for the new hog house. High peafolds caught fire and fell on this structure, spreading the flames. Just east of the hog house and a block and a half west of the exchange building fireman worked furiously against insistent flames that were still traveling south and destroying big cattle chutes and scale houses. For an hour the fire fighters seemed hampered by poor water pressure and just northwest of the exchange building the flames raced unchecked through big hay aheds. At 4:30 o'clock it became evident that the fire was under control, except where it raged in the big hog house. This concrete structure was one of the main factors in eventually stopping the fire. Just how many battle perished nobody knows exactly, the estimates as to losses varying from 2,000 head to as high as 10,000. It was stated by men in the yards who should be in position to know that the total would reach 8,500 head, which of itself would mean a loss in beef cattle or $1,500,000. It is known that Clay-Robinson's losses were 1,075 head of cattle and a car of hogs. Witherspoon-McMullen lost 1,000 cattle and 320 hogs. Several other commission firms lost from 75 to 500 cattle each, besides several car loads of hogs. There were about 41,000 cattle in the yards, officials said. The receipts of cattle Monday were among the largest on record. Several officials said approximately 8,000 or 10,000 were burned to death. Some gave as an estimate even a higher number. Losses Unestimated. No attempt had been made up to this afternoon to place an estimate on the losses by the fire. The men at the yards were too busy to look after saving what they could and taking care of such odors as were possible to fill. Insurance Companies Take Over Cattle. All the cattle were fully insured, stock yards officials said today. The insurance companies will take charge of the situation, so far as salvaging the stock is concerned. Settlements will be made in full not only with the owners of the cattle which were burned, but also with the owners of all cattle which escaped from the yards and were scattered and lost their identity. "All the cattle which are found will be placed in a common pool by the insurance companies," said Thomas G. McCrosky, local manager of the Hartford Fire Insurance company, "and sold as calvage. The proceeds will be distributed, of course, proportionately among the owners of the cattle which were in the yards. There is no possibility ever of identifying the cattle which survived, and so the usual practice of insurance, which I have outlined, will be followed." U. S. AGENTS INVESTIGATING. Agents of the U. S. government are investigating the origin of the fire which, early Tuesday morning wiped out a large section of the Kansas City Stock Yards, with a loss of more than 8,500 cattle, 3,500 hogs, besides a loss in the improvements aggregating about $200,000. The belief in Kansas City is general that the blaze was started by German agents or sympathizers for the purpose of crippling the food supply. Weather this be true will probably be revealed by the investigations. Won't Disclose Results. But no information is being disclosed by the government representatives. The police and the state fire marshal also are making investigations and they will work hand in hand with the government. It is also believed a separate investigation will be made by the Missouri side underwriters through Captain John F. Pelletier of the insurance patrol. Losses Reach a Million. At the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange today it is admitted that the loss by the fire will reach if not pass $1,000,000, and that the number of animals lost by fire is substantially correct. The Stock Yards company will lose no time in rebuilding the pens in the portion of the yards destroyed, but it will use concrete for the walls of the pens. Removing the Dead Animals. Dr. C. W. McLaughlin, city health commissioner is busy at the Stock Yards superintending the loading of the burned cattle on cars. The Standard Rendering company purchased the carcases. Tracks were laid this morning, connecting the yards with the rendering works. The company expects to take 20 carloads a day from the burned yards.

QUESTS AT GOOD GOVERNMENT CLUB DINNER LAST NIGHT ARE THRILLED WITH ADDRESSES OF NOT-ABLE SPEAKERS We have come to a time when the principal business of America is war. All your efforts must be centered on that purpose. To aid in the great effort to make the world safe for democracy is America's task. Americans must put their souls and their bodies into this war. We are not going to win in the air—or by hot air. We are going to win with the machine that God has made—with men. All these other things are a necessary part of our equipment. But man is first. The speaker was no less a person that Major General Leonard Wood, commander of an army of 40,000 of the best manhood of the nation, now in training in Kansas, at Camp Funston. It was at the annual dinner last night of the Wyandotte County Good Government club, an organization of women which is striving for better a nd grander things, and some 400 men! and grander things, and some 400 men and women—leaders in business, social and civic life of the community, were seated in the banquet room of the Scottish Rite Temple. The rugged soldier, in khaki uniform, spoke in a calm, pleading voice, and every word he uttered in his address of forty minutes was heard distinctly. His face was gravely earnest, for he was talking about war and its realities. "You should be thankful that the line is holding while you are, getting ready," he went on to say. "We must make preparations while the war is going on. For war is here, never in a more brutal form. They have gone back one thousand years. The old chivalry of war has passed away. The object is to kill. Chivalry of War at an End. "The weapons of war are being forged, and we are going to win, but we are not going to win easily. "The man who belltles this effort is the man who strikes against the nation. Mary of our men are going to die for the nation—it will make better men and a better nation. "But this is not altogether a man's war. Every wife, mother, sister, girl—every sweetheart—must see some kind of service. "You've done a great deal to make the nation dry. Now it is for you to help make the nation clean." General Wood spoke with pride of his army at Camp Dunston. "The draft army of forty thousand men is as fine a body as was ever assembled," he said. "They are a perfect and loyal outfit, but they are not soldiers. Their training has got to be carried on. And we can't make a success of this unless all back us up. "You who can't go can help us a good deal. Your job is to see the family of the soldier is cared for while he is away fighting for you and your country. Show your appreciation of his services. Make the man who wears the uniform to know that you honor that uniform, and he won't wear it where he wouldn't take his mother or his sister." General Woods' reference to military training drew applause from his audience. He spoke for a system of intensive training. Intensive Military Training. "Let us take your-boys and in six months we will give them back to you made over into fine specimens of true American young men." The basic principles of our national policy were outlined by General Wood. He said a regular army was needed for police duty at home and in the nation's island possessions. Always there should be a good navy. Back of that there should be a prepared army. The nation must build up to that the world may have a care. "The real shouts of war are the bodies and souls of men consecrated to the service of their country. I like the volunteer service, it's fine, and I like to have it behind the income tax. But we need men trained for service. The women can help in this work of preparation—not for war, but against it. I like that spirit which you find in a girl who wouldn't dance with a man unless he had military training. Yu can set a high standard." General Wood spoke in praise of the work of the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. And he also spoke of the Mebrity Loan. "Give, give, give until it hurts," he emphasized. "In giving to any fund that will make the Nation more efficient, the army or navy better you are only cutting down that much in the blood of American men. For our efficiency tends to shorten the war and the shorter the war the less America will have to pay in blood." "Let you motto be I Serve;" Chering Words From Kansas Mrs. Z. Nason, president of the club, officiating as presiding officer, had many pleasing things to say in announcing the speakers. Mayor H. A. Mendenhall spoke a fine welcome for the club's guests and Judge U. S. Guyer introduced General Wood in a happy speech. A message from the women of Kansas that was bright and cheery and full of the real Kansas "pep" was delivered by Mrs. Mary L. Parsons of Chinote. From the State of Mississippi came a young woman, Mrs. Florence F. Buckmaster, with a sweet voice and a happy smile that despoils of morgans blossoms and the true Southern spirit. "We are all banded together in the cause of democracy and human rights," she said in clear tones that could be heard throughout the big township. "And under the leader's ship, our great and good commander, we will win for ours in God's hands." Senator Thompson's Remarks United States Senate William H. Thompson brought a message from Congress and he said it was a good one—"Congress has adorned." The senator reviewed briefly the work of Congress in preparing for war. He said the business of Congress was to provide a means of obtaining men, money and food, and it had responded nobly to every demand. President Wilson, he said, got more out of the special session than any other president ever was able to get out of Congress. Representative William P. Borland of Kansas City, Mo., was given a fine welcome when he arrose to deliver the closing speech. "The only...great nation that was prepared when this war began was Germany," Mr. Borland said. "And we now realize that this nation was the least prepared of all. For his we ourselves, wore a blame, for our thoughts had been along other lines." Mr. Borland then declared that with an equal degree of preparation and thought this nation single handed is more than a match for Germany. When the War Began "When war was declared, April 6, 1917," he said, "Our army of eighty-five thousand was costing half as much as the German army of 5 million. Our navy was fourth or fifth class. We had no merchant marine. We didn't realize what the world struggle meant. A crisis of commercial affairs impended in the United States, despite the war. We were hewers of wood and drawers of water for the rest of the world. "The American navy will have won its spurs in 1918," he concluded. "Our soldiers will prove the world is safe for democracy. The Stars and Stripes, spreading across the bleeding battlefield of Europe will be the star of hope for world democracy." A pleasing and inspiring feature of the evening was the playing on the piano of a patriotic medley by Miss Louise Heaton, which ended with the singing of "The Star Spangled Banner" by the assembled audience. Miss Louise Talbert gave two vocal selections and received fine applause. GOLDEN COMPANY RUSHING WORK POWER HAS BEEN INSTALLED AND PUMPING BEGINS AT ONCE WILL PUT DOWN TEN WELLS BIG OPERATIONS ARE TO FOL -LOW AS DEVELOPMENT The Golden Oil company is making rapid strides in its development work. Messrs. DeLoe and Ruch, oil well drilling contractors of Coffeyville, Kas., have their drill located on the Golden company's lease of 180 acres near Chanute where they have a contract with the company to drill ten wells. Drilling would have been in process except for the shortage of fuel. Coal was not obtainable in Chanute and a delay of a few days was necessary till the company could install power on their new well and start the pump going; then the drillers can use the oil for fuel. Monday of this week Mr. Rugh purchased in Coffeyville a power plant PALMER PALMER WHITENER A WHITENER FOR A SMOOTH COAT A SMOOTH COAT LUXURY PRINTY GL ALAMEDA, CA WHITENER WHITENER DR.FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER Whitens dark or brown skin Bleaches and clears sallow complexions, removes all blenisms and causes the skin to grow whiter.

The Golden's new well was already cased and pump.set with tubing and rods in place and conected with a hundred barrel tank already located on the field so that as soon as this power is in place, pumping will begin. Pumping their new well will be a good advance for the Golden company as it will save several hundred dollars in fuel for drilling in putting down their ten additional wells, and also at, the same time store oil for sale. As oil accumulates and sales of oil are made this money goes into the treasury for dividends. This is the plan under which the Golden Company is developing, stock is sold for drilling and all money above that received for oil over and above the actual cost of pumping goes into the treasury for dividends. The production they now have warrants a dividend soon, and as Messrs. DeLoe and Rugh expect a new well every twenty days and fully believe every well will be a producer, their production must necessarily increase very rapidly and the dividend fund from the sale of oil will increase monthly. So that with a dividend of 4 per cent December 25, and new wells coming in all the time, a large dividend will be in line for February 1st, 1918, and a still larger one on March 1.* The company presents to the investing public a very square oil opportunity. Prospects are so good that they guarantee to every stockholder investing his money in this company that his money will be refunded if, upon his personal investigation of their acreage, within ten days after purchasing his stock, he is not satisfied with his chance. They further guarantee that money received from sale of stock will be spent only in the scientific development of the holdings of the company. They will drill a sufficient number of wells to come under the law of average in oil production. In accordance with this guarantee the Golden Oil company is now starting on this series of ten wells. All Golden Stock is common stock. The oil business is the world's greatest money maker. Oil is not oply the foundation of the greatest fortunes in the world but also the foundation of the greatest number of great fortunes. Operating in shallow fields of proven production, with both scientific advice and exact data as guides the company will make money and procure good dividends. To Rent.
