Kansas City Advocate

KANSAS J. O. DIAMOND NOW SOJOURNING IN SUNNY FLORIDA Orlando, Fla.I told you so. In my last letter, which was from Pittsburgh, I told you I would be practically in another world when you read the letter, and as I sit down in my seat and have my paper on the table and pen in hand to write to you this week I am away down in Florida, and I will not be here when I write you a letter next week. Perhaps I will be in the state because I think I am going to be here several weeks. There was much stir in Pittsburgh about Klu-Klux Klan. Some notices had been found on the door of some of our people and even on the door of a few of the churches, and that got the real devil in the preachers as well as in the other people, and the thing was looking a little ugly. I got with them and advised that they pray and trust in God and the whole thing would turn out in good shape. I believe in prayer. The fellow who needs the gun will get it without being told I have had a great time in Pittsburgh, and I have touched many people, and I feel proud of the trip there. While in the city I was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. J. C, Austin, and they are some workers in that part of the world. Rev. Austin is pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist church, and it is one of the largest churches in the country. It is Ebenezer Baptist church. I am not going to talk about the church, for that would take up all the space I a mto give to this letter. They have many preachers there and they meet together every week just like they were in a big association. I attended one of the meetings, and everything went along like pie and cake until a committee reported, recommending that a certain book be kept out of the hands of the people, or that the preachers would declare it unsafe to be put into young minds. It passed and then the preacher got up. He is by name the Rev. Dr. Samuels, B.W. He is tall and lank, and would resemble the moon in its darkness, but although he would vie with the shoes he wove for color, he turned right red in the face and I wish you could have heard him cuss just a little bit. He just out cussed the man who invented cussing, and told one of the preachers to go to hell or Jamaica, and that preacher refused to go to either place. He told the Rev. J. St. Claire Drake that he was entitled to be known as a "dirty black liar." I don't want to hear that man preach, for I am sure that when he gets to talking and sweating black ink he would just cuss the devil out, of the city known as "Devilville." and there would be h-1 to play or something on that order. God forgive him for he knows not what he is doing. He left the meeting as a gambler would leave a gambling den after he had lost all of his money, at any rate none of the men were excited. They declared that they were going to serve God, and let the good preacher go his way rejoicing. He had his hand in his pocket while he was saying them words which are not in the Sunday school lesson I will dismiss him. I had the pleasure of visiting the office of the Pittsburgh American, which is the youngest paper in the city, but it is here on an important mission—to help humanity and believe me when I tell you that it is filling its place I met the editor-in-chief, Arthur W Lynch; managing editor, Golden B Darby; city editor, Robert F Douglass; society editor, Mrs, Daisy E, Lmapkins, and her assistant, Miss Julia Bumry, Miss Burmy is an accomplished stenographer, and is the chief of the office, She knows her business. It was a pleasure and a delight to come in touch with these young men. Rev. J. C, Austin, is the live wire in the city, and he is bringing to the people of Pittsburgh, some of the leaders of the race He was celebrating his anniversary and it is still on. I am glad to see how our people honor the young men. Getting through with these sermons and addresses, and going out to see the Rev. J. H. Burks, at Braddock, and calling on Mrs. J. L. Mitchell, the daughter of Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, I then got myself together for to leave, going via Baltimore, and then over to Washington. Leaving Pittsburgh, I was able to get a bed car and went to bed, where I slept like a log. It was a pleasure to be able to sleep and the next morning got up and had me a good hot breakfast in the eating wagon. Then when all this was over I was right in Baltimore, where I called at the office of the Afro-American, talked with them, then talked with the greatest church financier in the race, Dr. W Sampson Brooks, and when he is made bishop there are to be many changes made in church money raising. I want to see him. elevated. It would be nice to make J. R. Ransom, J. C. Caldwell, W. Sampson Brooks placed on the bench, and then Dr. A. J. Carey would be there to give the statesmanship to the whole bench. Iut en this is a matter to be considered another time. Now, from Washington I started for the south, and I could no longer ride in the bed car, but had to take my place in the end of a smoker. I left there in that end, and in the place was a mask "COLORED." It matters not how much money you had, how well dressed you were, how poor or how ragged you were all looked alike, and all had to ride together, and all were treated alike. Well, this may be a good thing. We got in there, and we rode. There were many people all the way down. Now and then a white man would drop in to see how we were getting along, and that made me feel like saying some of the words that the Rev. Dr. Samuels used, but I did not. I rode from Washington, down the road and could not get anything to eat, until the cook from the dining car came in and offered me a hand-out from the kitchen. I gave a quarter, and he brought me on a dish, chicken, roast beef, potatoes, pie, bread and butter. I got on the outside of the eating and soon landed in Florida after riding for 23 hours. I spent the night in Jacksonville, and made it on to this place where I am now. I will have some things to tell you about Florida next week. I O MIDNIGHT THE FIRST VICTORY BANQUET·THE·27TH A large crowd of several hundred people assembled to take part in the Victory Banquet at Metropolitan Temple Thursday, Feb. 27th. At the last moment Governor Allen found he could not attend, owing to an extra night session of the legislature. He sent a telegram of regrets. The Adjutant General Martin also was compelled to be there. The program was Music, "America," choir and audience. Invocation, Rev. T. Knaper. Music, "Battle" Hymn of the Republic," choir and audience. Welcome address to the governor and others, Attorney Booker. Vocal solo, Mrs. Henderson, Kansas City, Mo.: encored. - Pipe organ selection, Mrs. W. G. Wood. Male quartet, led by Prof. Reynolds encored twice. Announcements. Closing music, "Star Spangled Banner." Attorney Henderson was master of ceremonies. The decorating committee had the words. "Victory" arranged in front and many vases of beautiful natural flowers. Many expected to hear of the victories from children or some of our local talent, even if the governor had been present. Also, think it would have added to the occasion to ask the fine singers to ing to the menu, it was very grand sing some song on victory. But comfort the small sum of 50 cents. They served salad, peas, patties, sweet potato croquettes, hot Vienna rolls, ice cream and the finest of cakes with black coffee in abundance. In army language some said, "O boy, 'twas delicious! Never saw so much served before!" The ladies and others sold over $177 worth of tickets in about a week. Mrs. Thompson receivé the first prize, and Mrs. Simpson the second prize. To the ticket sellers, publicity committee, and refreshments committee and others belongs much praise as at least two of these committees did the hardest work and the ticket sellers and publishing committee caused those who did to come. Pastor Holmes was able to be present. Had he not gotten ill, and had not some one made a mistake in the day on a handbill, the crowd would have been larger. In so short a time, they cleared over $145. Mrs. Nellie Walker has been appointed matron of the Childress' Orphans' home, corner of Washington boulevard and Ninth street. CITY KANSAS CITY, KANSAS,' FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1919. THOS. KENNEDY, PUBLISHER. NOTICE SIR KNIGHTS OF KANSAS You are asked to be present at a Reception and Banquet in honor of our Major General R. R.

The most important of the governor's pet measures, land tenantry, constitutional convention, have been defeated. The response to the call for a statewide mass meeting, issued by the Kansas branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colorful People, was in deed very liberal there being some 20 or more different organization represented, and much interest in the work of the association was manifested. Mrs. W. D. Hawkins, of St. Joseph, Mo., and Mrs. T. M. McCampbell of Kansas City, Mo., were house guests of the Rev. and Mrs. G. W, Gray for a few days last week. Mrs. Ruth Bradley-Sanford of Kansas City is the guest of Prof. and Mrs. Fred Roundtree and is ivisting friends in the city. Mrs. Sanford reports that her husband, Captain J. O. Sanford, has arrived in New York and is expected home on a furlough soon. The call for a statewide mass meeting to convene in Wichita, March 25 and 26, should be well attended and good results should follow. This is the "get-together" period and the colored people of the state should observe it closely. The marriage of Dr. K. L. Curd, of Chester, Pa., to Miss Ursula Alberta Guy, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. G.W. Guy, of 512 Western avenue; this city, was solemnized at the home of the brides parents Wednesday evening, Feb. 26, the Rev. Dr. D. M. Fisk, of the chair of sociology in Washubrn college, of which institution Miss Guy is a graduate, officiating. The bride wore a white satin gown, silver lace trimming, with a train. She wore a veil, and carried a large bouquet of bride's roses and lilies of the valley. The groom was attired in the conventional evening costume. Following the ceremony a reception was given in honor of the bride and groom by Mr. and Mrs. James H. Guy., 224 Topeka avenue, where a large number attended, extending congratulations.

GENERAL THOMAS KENNEDY, Commanding State of Kansas, PREPARING FOR THE CONRGESS Bessemer, Ala. (Reciprocal News Service)—Since the announcement that the Sunday School Congress will be held in this city June 11th to 16th the Sunday school forces have been getting together on a plan of organization that will spread throughout the state. Every Sunday school superintendent pastor and church worker will be asked to form a mammoth committee of five, hundred to further push to perfection the organization so that when the Sunday school forces arrive, this district, in which there are more than one hundred thousand Negroes, will be touched as never before by the spirit of Sunday school work Encouragement along this line has come already because of the recent visit of the Rev. R. H. Boyd, D.D., the secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board at Nashville, Tenn., who is the director and promoter of the congress. He delivered an able address at Birmingham and another one in this city. The way is already paved for other national workers, as it has been announced that the secretary of the Sunday School Congress, Rev. Henry A. Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., has consented to touch the suburbs of greater Bessemer during the month, making his initial appearance at Ensley under the auspices of the Sunday schools of the city. Reys. T J. James, J. H. May, wood and others are pushing the congress idea as never before, and the state of Alabama, irrespective of denomination, is still rejoicing over the tidings of the coming of the meeting. 92N DIVISION BEING ENTERTAINED IN MISSOURI TODAY Two contingents of colored soldiers of the 92nd Division got into Kansas City this morning and they will parade from the depot down town with Home Guards of Kansas City, Kansas, Boy Scouts, Uniform Rank of Knights of Pythias, U.

Mr. Crawford was moved to his home where he is resting comfortable. 18 CONVICTED NEGRO SOLDIERS GET NEW-TRIAL Chicago, March 4.—Eighteen Negro soldiers, convicted of an attack on a woman visitor at Camp Grant last May are to be given a new trial as the result of an opinion by the judge advocate general that they were not fairly tried.

AN EASTER CALL Kansas City, Kansas February 97, 1919. To the Ministers and Menbers of the A. M. E. Church of the Topeka District, Greeting: Dear Brethren: This is a special Easter call to you. Now is the time to begin special programs and music for Easter. The demands are so great this year I deem it befitting, that I take up the call and pass it down the line of this district. This is the year of reconstruction—in our Mission fields and to set the missionary machinery in motion again, is going to require a large sum. Let the men of the Topeka District be equal to the occasion. Remember, men's worth is measured by what they do—that is our chief recommender. So I urge upon you to help us increase Easter collections, at least 25 per cent. Send one-half to Rev. J. W. Rankin, 61 Bible House, New York City, and the other half to Rev. J. R. Ransom, 506 North Water street, Wichita, Kansas. Yours in Christian Faith, H. D. HARRIS, Presiding Elder. NUMBER 31. FIFTH ANNUAL KNIFE AND FORK BANQUET THE 18th MAJOR R. R. JACKSON OF CHICAGO TO BE THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKER The Fifth Annual Knife and Fork banquet, which has always been since its organization one of the affairs that has become of such magnitude and is talked of from one year to its next annual date, will take place this year, Tuesday, March the 18th. As has been its custom from its first to have as its principal speaker a man of the race of a national character, and the biggest man that could be secured, regardless of expense, it has been the committee's foreme this year to secure the services of one of our greatest statesmen, and orators, Major R. R. Jackson of Chicago, a retired major of the old Eighth Illinois regiment, who saw service in Mexico and later, as the most of us know, went to France and as the records will show, was one of the greatest fighting units that ever put on soldier uniforms. Major Jackson retired after coming back from Mexico. Major Jackson, for more than twenty years, has been the chief commander, and was its organizer of the uniform department of the Knights of Pythias, and has now under his command over twenty thousand Sir Knights, which is considered the greatest civil military organization of color in the world. This great soldier and statesman has been highly honored along other avenues—was elected two consecutive terms to the general assembly of his state and is now serving as alderman of that great city with honor and credit to his constituency, of which the majority are white. He is not only loved and admired by his twenty thousand K. of P. boys, but by all races and creeds, who know him. The Uniform department of Kansas, Thomas Kennedy as its chief commander, with his men under him, and the Second regiment of Kansas City, Mo., will have charge of Major Jackson during his stay in the city. Special reserved seats and tables will be at their disposal on the evening of the banquet. Col. Wm. Stewart of Galena, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Bullard on Tenth street a few days ago, being on his way from Topeka, where he had been for some weeks, lobbying against a segregation bill.

There are probably many of our ciltzens in Kansas City, Kansas, ignorant of the fact that one of the best and latest improved shoe repair shops is run by a colored man. But it's a fact and one will only have to go to the corner of Washington boulevard and Third street to see for themselves. And not only this he has it in his own two-story brick building. There you will find a shoe finisher of the latest design and the latest and only stitching machine of its kind in the city, costing $550, known as the Landis No. 12, which can be adjusted to make any kind of a stitch that's put in a shoe. It's a most wonderful piece of machinery and the two machines are run by a two-horse power electric motor. Mr. R. Pickens is this enterprising business man, coming here last October from Muskogee, Okla., and has been in the business twenty-five years with great success. Mr. Pickens is not only a repair finisher, but is a practical shoe maker, and is kept busy nearly night and day turning out new shoes for the trade, and they are shoes, too. He makes them in any color leather, made if any style and the fit is perfect, something you can not get in a shoe store. We, as Kansas citizens and lovers of race enterprises and especially such a one as this one, should not feel it a sacrifice if we had to walk, even across the city, to patronize this worthy and efficient business man. Little Miss Unis Gregg, 2214 Russell avenue, is on the subscription staff of The Advocate. She is a little hustler. The executive committee of the Union Labor organization has opened up headquarters at 721 Minnesota avenue and a vigorous campaign for the city labor ticket is on in full blast. The organization appears to be very active in the prosecution of its campaign.

No one knew the suffering the pastor was enduring until after he had closed his sermon. Two joined the church, Mr, and Mrs, Perry, who presented strong letters from Allen Chapel. The fifth annual Knife and Fork banquet will be held Tuesday, March the eighteenth, with Major Robert R. Jackson of Chicago as the principal speaker. A fine program is being arranged for the occasion, and preparations are to be made to banquet fifteen hundred, serving five hundred at a time. The committee of arrangements say it will be one of the biggest feeds ever seen at an annual banquet. The (Mock) General Conference rally have commenced laying their plans for the one great finishing financial campaigns that ever was pulled off in the west. Every member who calls him or herself an African Methodist are going to pull together as one man. Sunday is the second quarterly meeting of this conference year Rev. J, T, Smith, presiding elder of the Kansas district, will be present and preach at 11 a, m. Dinner will be served Sunday in the dining room by one of the church clubs. Editor Thomas Kennedy was elected Friday evening delegate to the Electoral College and Prof, Shelton French, alternate. All departments of the church have their reports ready for Monday night to be read to the Quarterly Conference. Leaders and members have their quarterly assessment Sunday and turn over to their leader or district steward. and a weekly bulletin is issued. Elsewhere in this paper will be seen a communication to the colored labor public, in the form of a resolution adopted by the executive committee. So far as it goes, so good, but it does not go far enough, in the opinion of The Advocate. It is well enough to commend the colored laborer and "resolve" that such and such treatment should be accorded the colored toiler. But so long as the Negro is prevented from joining the organization and taking his place among other laborers and receiving the recognition justly due him, as a laborer, just so long will his aid in promoting the things for which organized labor stands, will be retarded. His sympathies, of course, are with the men who toil, in making their living by the sweat of their brow, but it is natural as can be for him to hold aloof from entering into full accord with the designs and activities of the organization. No doubt that many of the organization are in sympathy with the position of the colored laborer and would gladly accept him into full membership and bestow upon him all the "rights and benefits of the order," but this minority of liberal souls is prevented from accomplishing this desire by the majority, which is opposed to this recognition. Until the colored laborer is received into "full communion," with the organization, it is not surprising that this class of laborers will continue Influenza and kindred diseases start with a cold.

FIRST ROUND OF WICHITA DISTRICT Editor of the Kansas City Advocate: Please allow me space in the columns of your most valuable paper. I am very thankful to the Great Head of the church for sparing me my life through the great epidemic that swept the country. It pleased the chieftain of the Fifth Episcopal District, in the person of he Rt Rev. H. B. Parks, to hand me an appointment to the Wichita District on the third day of October. I started out feeling fine, but before I reached my district, the dreaded disease laid its hands on me. But, thank God, He spared my life. I reached Minneapolis—this was the first charge I had in the Kansas conference sixteen years ago. Their pastor had not arrived, so all thought I was sent to pastor them. I said, "No, I am your Presiding Elder." And all those good people came out to hear their son. I was in Abilene on Sunday. The membership there is small, but they paid the assessment. From there I went to Ellsworth and there found Rev. J. S. Gauss, who had only just arrived and we had a wonderful meeting that night. My next stop was at Salina, where I found Dr. H. M. Mickens, who was reappointed to Salina for the third year. On my arrival he informed me that the bishop had appointed him to Sacramento, California, and that he would leave that da yat 11:30. We held no services there, but the people responded nicely. My next stop was at Hill City. Here we have Rev. Wm. Martin. We held no services, but the people responded creditably. From here we went to Sterling, which had no pastor as yet, but the people had something left over and responded. From Sterling we went to Great Bend, where we found Rev. Davis's church closed, but the election was at hand on the fifth inst., so we held a meeting and had a great time in Zion. Rev. Davis knows how to pastor and our collection was good from there. Next I went to Dodge City and here I found not only the churches closed, but the barber shops as well, and the elder, Rev. Brown, afraid to go out. I did not reach Garden City. The people were dying at the rate of five a day so we came on to St, John, where we had no pastor, but the people were glad to see me. The church was closed, but the authorities let the people open their doors, so we had a great time that day, We came from there to Hutchinson, where we found that able man, Dr. R. C. Henderson, who shouted for joy. He said, "I just said to my wife, that I wondered where the Presiding Elder, was, and while I was yet speaking I received your card saying that you were on the road." The ban was lifted Friday night and on Sunday we had a great time in Zion. Rev. Henderson knows how to pastor and bring things to pass and his good people laid down sixty-four dollars on the table. I was next in Pratt and there found Rev. H. Merritt, who is a young man, but is doing great work in that town. We had a great day and just did get out before the ban was put on. Next we came to Wichita, the head of the district. Rev. J. R. Ransom, the Prince of Preachers, holds that fort. Here the ban was on tight, but that did not hinder the secretary A HOME FOR SATISFYING RELIEF FROM LUMBAGO SATISFYING RELIEF FROM LUMBAGO Sloan's Liniment has the punch that relieves rheumatic twinges This warmth-giving, congestion-cattering circulation-stimulating remedy penetrates without rubbing right to the aching spot and brings quick relief, surely, cleanly. A wonderful help for external pains, sprains, strains, stiffness, headache, lumbago, bruises. Get your bottle today—costs little, means much. Ask your druggist for it by name. Keep it handy for the whole family. The big bottle is economy. Sloan's Liniment Kills Pain from writing the Presidnig Elder a check for thirty-five dollars, with a paid up pastor. Wellington Circuit next. We had service on Sunday, leaving on Monday for the other end of the work. The ban was on tight, but the district steward was looking after me and so the assessment was already raised. Winfield was next. We found the ban on tight. Ten persons died one day and eight another, but the pastor, Rev. H. C. White, looked after the Presidnig Elder. Arkansas City was next. Here we found Rev. J. W. Williams with his church doors closed. But the mayor ordered the churches opened, so on Sunday we entered and praised God. And one of the biggest snows fell that night and all the next day that had been seen for several years. Our collection there was about $70.00. My next stop was at Newton. Rev. William Inyard holds that fort. To say the least, the ban was off and the Lord poured His spirit out upon us. This place will entertain the District conference. You may hear from me soon again. The men are at work at all points and we are bringing things to pass.. You're in his name. Yours in His name. REV. E. W. SMITI I, Presiding Elder Wichita District, 606 North Water Street, Wichita, Kas. Mrs. Anna E.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES At the morning service, God enabled Pastor Holmes to be present and preach to a large congregation on the Holy Ghost. His sermon was soul-reviving, and he then sang a solo especially to the sinners and the congregation joined in with the refrain "Jesus Lover," etc. It was effective. At 7:45 p. m., Rev. Alva Royston preached from John 3-7: "Marvel not I say unto you, Ye must be born again." His theme was "Régeneration," and he delivered his sermon in the most intelligent, biblical manner than many we have heard. It was short and beautiful and reached the hearts and caused many responses of the Holy Spirit. It was so fine that Pastor Holmes praised it to the highest. Rev. Royston gave Bible proofs fo revery assertion he made. After the sermon, the Lord's Supper was taken; and the pastor did not forget to sing of "Christ Praying in the Garden of Gethsemane." It was appropriate and beautiful. It brought to mind the Crucifixion 1919 years ago. Several joined the church during the day and it was announced for all to come next Sunday and bring sinners to enter into an "Enlistment Mission,' or, in other words, a revival. Everybody welcome. A choir of nearly 100 voices are asked to sing 'God's praises. The Metropolitan Sewing Circle meets with Mrs. Arthur Younger on Freeman avenue Friday afternoon. THE SOCIABLE 20 ENTERTAINED The Sociable Twenty entertained in honor of the "Undefeated Five" at the beautiful home of one of their members, Miss Gussie Gant, 1928 North Walnut street, Kansas City, Kansas.

They also furnished the champion basket ball team with white carnations. Ice cream and cake were served in abundance. All the guests left, declaring the "Sociable Twenty" excellent entertainers. The members composing the Sociable Twenty are: Floyd Anderson, Mary Adams, Carrie Adams, Eddie Lewis, Thelma Kennedy, Alma Sayers, Ollie Henry, Gladys Posey, Inez Gregg, Leora Edwards, Ernestine Talley, Levi Terrill, Alfred Banks, Roosevelt Butler, Wesley Stevenson, William Gregg, Chauncey Downs, Eunice Anthony. IN MEMORIUM In fond and loving memory of our beloved daughter, Mabel Brown, who passed on two years ago, March 6, 1917. She went to join three little brothers who ha dpassed on before her. Memories of you are just as fresh today. For my heart has not ceased aching since our darlnig has passed away. Sadly missed by father, Brooks Brown; mother, Jennie Brown; three brothers, other relatives and a host of friends.

MICHIGAN ONCE HAD SLAVES Only in 1836 Did Human Chattels Become Unprofitable to Their Owners in That State. Few Detrolters of the present generation know that Michigan was once a slave territory, or that the city of Detroit, for a period of nearly one hundred years, included a considerable number of slaves in its population, observes the Detroit News. The early French settlers lived largely by trading with the Indians. At first they bought furs only, but each spring the Indians of Michigan would make war raids into territory south and west, and they would bring back captives whom they sometimes killed by torture, but later they found it more profitable to sell them to the white settlers as slaves. Most of these Indian slaves were from the Pawnee tribe. Later negro slaves were bought in the East, principally in the state of New York. When the British took possession in 1760 they found quite a number of slaves, Indians and negro, and they continued the practice. The census of the district in 1773 showed 46 men and 39 women slaves in a community that numbered less that 300 adult white men. In 1872 there were 179 slaves in Detroit. The ordinance of 1787 forbade slavery in the Northwest territory, but Detrolters paid no attention to this Constitutional act. There were enough negroes in Detroit in 1807, slave and free, to enable Governor Hull to organize a company of colored militia. In 1818 the assessor for Wayne county made slaves tuxable property, and this proved a discouragement to slave holding. By 1832 there were only 32 slaves left in Michigan territory, and in 1836 the last one had been manumitted. Less than 20 years later Michigan, having found slaveholding unprofitable, became ardently abolitionist, and Detroit was converted into a terminal of the "underground railway," through which runaway slaves from the South found their way to freedom in Canada. ANIMAL HEROES IN WARFARE Some Praise Should Be Spared for the Dumb Brutes Who Gave Their Lives for Liberty. There was one factor for victory in the war which we overlook in passing out the praise and medals. To the dumb animals who bore much of battle's brunt, to the horses, mules and dogs, great credit is due. Patient, plodding, brave, obedient creatures of faithfulness! Wondrous fine the steed of officer, but equally grand the sturdy haulers of calsson and gun carriage! Butt of limitless jokes, the long-eared, lean-legged, tuft-tailed army mule has glorified himself. Endless the supply trains he tugged fagging distances, across shell swept spots and through fierce fire. The Red Cross dog, too, and the sledge dogs in the Alps have been canine heroes, leaping into the jaws of death on missions of mercy or pulling precious packsleds among mountain peaks and passes. Perpetual pasturage would be a just reward for our four-footed fighters, with freedom from further work. To Fldo, allot choice bones to gnaw and if you'd make his home dog heaven rid the world of fleas for these, the "dogs of war." At the entrance of this Paradise park or preserve, place a shaft to record for posterity a tribute to the war's 42,311 animal dead.—Toledo News-Bee. Forecasting Storms By means of what is believed to be a new scientific discovery, it is claimed that weather forecasts may be made with reasonable accuracy two weeks in advance. As a result of research, conducted by a former chief of the weather bureau and a representative of the Smithsonian institution, it has been found that there are rifts in the upper clouds of the solar atmosphere which cause a variation in the amount of heat radiated to the earth. It is said the investigators have discovered the period of time between the passage of a heat rift in the solar atmosphere and the appearance of resulting storms on the earth. It has been found that at times these heat rifts persist for several months and that they have produced corresponding disturbances here. Typewriter Used As a Pendulum. In the show window of a downtown typewriter concern stands an imposing looking clock more than six feet tall. It is attractive, but what especially invites the attention is the pendulum. The bob is unlike any other in the city, being a full sized typewriter, one that could be set up on a desk and put in active use. The suspended typewriter swings to and fro all day long. Judging from the excellent time the clock keeps, the typewriter bob does its work faithfully and well.—New York Times. Power Problem in England. In its reconstruction thinking, the question of electric power development in.Great Britain is engaging the minds of many experts, and it is probable that the government will take some part in the movement. It is proposed to utilize the great mineral resources of the country for production of electric power on a huge scale, and for the conservation and more economic use of the country's goal resources. The idea is to divide the country into large areas for power distribution. NOW WE MAY KNOW BOSWELL Description of Blogger, Written by Himself, Reveals Him as New Yorker How pleasant it is to know that Boswell, who we have always thought was merely a kind of animated notebook, was a droll, vain, blubulous, warm-hearted creature, a good deal of a Pepys, in fact, says Collier's Weekly. A. Edward Newton's entertaining "Amenities of Book Collecting," a volume of essays, which shows that a business man can write better literature than a hundred professors mulled into one, makes Boswell very human! How jolly to hear that Boswell wrote press notices about himself! Here is one of his own blurbs, which we quote from Mr. Newton's book: "Boswell, the author, is a most excellent man; he is of an ancient family in the west of Scotland, upon which he values himself not a little. At his nativity there appeared omens of his future greatness. His parts are bright, and his education has been good. He has traveled in post chasies miles without number. He is fond of seeing much of the world. He eats of every good dish, especially apple ple. He drinks old hock. He has a very fine temper. He is somewhat of a humorist and a little tinctured with pride. He has a good, manly countenance, and he owns himself to be amorous. He has infinite vivacity, yet is observed at times to have a melancholy cast. He is rather fat than lean, rather short than tall, rather young than old. His shoes are neatly made, and he never wears spectacles." This brings the excellent Boswell very very close to us indeed; he might almost be a member of the Authors' league. Especially apple pie, bless his heart. A Little of It Excellent, but It Must Not Be Enduring or Excessive. Unless a man has a little worry apathy, indifference and the mechanical physical disinclination to do your utmost without snint will be lacking. Without this condiment of life, this salt of the human cosmos, "we see to what absurd yet tragic physical lengths he is driven by the whip of that still vigorous tyrant, his self-instinct to fight." This thrilling force, which one time had been used squarely and successfully against the real world, enemy, is now absorbed in trivial and self-debasing skirmishes with the grotesque bolshevki of his imagination. In other words, if a man has a variety of anxious explosive outlets via his muscles and intellect, such as driving, tennis, swimming, dancing, competition, golf and the like, these act as safety valves for the multitude of impulses and reactions which habit and custom have compressed out of his external activities. Worry is one of these, if not enduring or excessive. For the average man set in society, in work and in his family circle it takes the place of larger and better outlets for his destroyed initiative. Chinese Woman Encoffined Alive. An unusual case of filial ingratitude is reported from Huchow, China, in the Tokyo (Japan) Advertiser. A very aged woman lived with her son's family, who were so poor that they did not have necessary food. To reduce expenses, the son, forgetting his country's traditions regarding filial plety, conceived of disposing of his aged mother. He secured a coffin, placed his mother therein, without protest on her part, nailed on the cover and deposited the coffin in a vacant lot. Neighbors informed the police, and the coffin was taken to the station house, where it was opened. The woman was still breathing, and when removed asked: "Why did you disturb me? I am a burden to my son and do not want to live. Please put me back in the box and let me die." The request was refused, and officials are detaining both mother and son in the yamen awaiting a judicial disposition of the case. Algerian Grain Production Methods of grain production used in Algeria are very similar to those used in Utah, Idaho and eastern Washington. Owing to the light rainfall much of the land is cropped only alternate years, a clean fallow being maintained during the summer preceding the sowing of the crop. In more favorable situations it is often customary to produce two or three grain crops in successive years, allowing the land to lie fallow one year in four or one year in five. Speaking generally, the soils of the grain-growing regions are rather heavy and are very productive when the rainfall is adequate. Some of the lands are underlain by calcareous hardpan, which it is sometimes necessary to break up by an occasional deep plowing in order to secure maximum production. Making Arrangements. A stray but friendly cat wandered to the front door of a home where lived Charles, ah only child. The little fellow was pleased with his new visitor, and was endeavoring to welcome him by bringing him into the house, when the mother appeared on the scene. She told the child that the cat was not allowed in the house. Immediately after the cautioning and while the cat was on the front porch Charles went to the door and said: "Say, klity, you come around to the back door and I'll meet you there."

PAGE FOUR THE FOURTH PIPE ORGAN RE- Before 4 p. m., many people could be seen wending their way to Metropolitan Temple, eager to hear Prof. R. G. Jackson's fourth pipe organ recital, complimentary to the Forum. Promptly at 4 p. m., President Hodge opened the meeting. The preliminary program was chorus, "Onward Christian Soldiers," Forum. The Lord's Prayer, by the audience; Reading of the Journal, Mrs. V. Calhoun, Secretary; Current Events, Prof. Williams; the events were interesting as he spoke of the League of Nations. Rev Robinson gave a fine one on the success of National Prohibition Messrs, W, H, Rloades and Mr Roy Garvin, also, gave events, Then came the main program, the musical recital as follows: Beethoven Sonata, technique very fine, Air of the Dauphine, (Eng, writer) pretty Then Miss Cora Leverda Boulder, formerly of Fisk University, but now at the Topeka Industrial school, made her debut to a Kansas City, Kansas, audience, and sang Bach-Goundod's "Ave Maria," so melodious that she charmed the large audience. She made her words plainer than most of our great race singers and her technique and respirations were good, without all the quivering staccate voice that some of our so-called noted singers attain after having their voices trained Her volume and range of voice was wonderful When encored she returned to bow, but the audience would not accept that but would not cease their vociferous applause, and she was compelled to sing again. She then sang most beautifully, "The Lord is My Light." Prof. Jackson accompanied her on the pipe organ then he continued his program and played, "The Gondolier," Handel's Largo, Schumann's Traumeria, Killarney and Dvorak's Humoresque. Then Miss Boulder sang "Like as the Heart," and was called back again and again and after Prof. Jackson played two state songs, "I Love You, California," and "My Old Kentucky Home," the latter is his masterpiece, and he received an ovation on it. That closed the enjoyable musical program. The next pipe organ recital will be Sunday, April 6th, and he will have a violinist and a chorus of 150 or 200 voices. Also the Historian will report on the day of the recital. The offertory was taken by Messrs. Dickerson, Cunningham, Williams, Wood and Miller Prof J. P. King, the critic, made a favorable recital. The order was perfect. Next Sunday, March 9th Prof. R. T. Coles, of Kansas City, Mo., and Prof. Cox, of Phillips school, will be the principal speakers, and Miss Anna Smith, daughter of Major N. Clark Smith, our great Kansas musician, will have charge of the music. Crowd the temple. Mrs. Wiseman will have a reading and Dr. Bundy will tell all about East St. Louis. Mrs. Dwiggins and Miss Smothers gave way for the pipe organ recital. WE HAVE ON BOOKER T. V. 16x22-in. Elegant B Will be sold Call at Room 6. 6 HY The New ANGEL O 622½ Minne Open Sundays.

Stines.) While my stay here, I have noticed the movement of the civil life, and I find all of my people in a prosperous condition. They are all wove into the industrial parts of life; and all walks of life, physical, spiritual, social and civil. They have good churches with able ministers, and good schools with a fair system; one or two grocery stores conducted by colored people and they are doing well. Barber shops in fair condition and a refined colored doctor having a good practice, and they have a good drug store there, White, where they are giving good brown skin service. They serve all just the same, in fact all the commercial businesses are on a fair base and I see no necessity for fault finding at this point. They have for industries, farming on good soil, two gins, one oil mill, working two shifts with the mill, employing-from fifty to sevent-five men and paying off every Saturday. They have water works, electric and gas light, a telephone system, and a line of good officers that understand local affairs. They handle everything from a business standpoint. I see that they understand one another and get along as a family. Truly, Mississippi is a prosperous state. There are a few counties where the Ethiopian does not get a fair play, but they are getting wise enough to move into counties where they do get fair deals and I can see that it is a good solution for the problem. There is a Mr. Thompson, agitating the Ethiopian to leave the south. I don't see where that would better the conditions, the problem is solving itself every day. There is as much difference now and conditions twenty-five years ago as there is between chalk and cheese. The people down here are heavyweight owners in stocks and bonds. There are only a few left out that do not own anything. The Ethiopian of the south has been misrepresented; the people are living down there and not existing; they produce everything that is catable in abundance. The time will soon come when the south will be the garden spot for everyone and a good place to live. The climate is good and everything that is produced from the earth is wholesome and good; the water is healthy and green grass grows the year around. The people of the south have become acquainted with sanitary ideas such as doing away with flies and everything that carries unhealthy germs. Hinds county is in the lead from a sanitary standpoint having good roads and a sewer system. As for, homesteading, you can buy some good land very cheap; the avenue is open for all desirable citizens. As for jim-crowing and the condition of the cars, as far as I can see, the passengers are at.fault a great deal; they load up the cuspidors with all kinds of peelings and tobacco juice and trash of all kinds and the porter does not have time to keep the car clean under such conditions and the THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE ones-who are not acquainted with the situation, they will murmur at an unclean car. I have rode over a good many miles and I have noticed every error and I believe in placing the blame where it belongs. But even at that, the south will be the garden spot. We are in receipt of Chaplain Dinsmore's dues for this year. It is of much interest to think that Chaplain Dinsmore, who is now in France and just about to take ship for home, should be mindful of what the N. A. A. C. P. stands for; that he has been experiencing in a large degree the fellowship characteristic of Europe and that he desires to do his part in preparing similar conditions for his children and people over there. Those 'who have been over there see the needs over here. Help us to help each other and make conditions better here. Join the N. A. A. C. P. You count one. Ones count. Remember the monthly meeting March 14, at Y. W. C. A., Ninth and Nebraska. Address—Prof, R. T. Coles. Current Events—Prof. C. L. Cox. Solo—Miss Anna Smith. Reading—Mrs. T. H. Wiseman. All from Missouri side. Come and hear them. Mrs. Florence Moore, who has been confined to her home on Nebraska avenue for a week, with illness, is able to be up. Miss Turner and Mrs. Jackson, teachers from Topeka Industrial school, were visitors to our city and Forum on Sunday. Mr. Louis Oliver, on Everett, was in off the road and attended his church Sunday. "I like to pass my books on," said the friendly woman. "When I get a new book I begin a 'roster' of readers on the flyleaf. If the book proves to be a good and helpful one, it is a delight to multiply its usefulness by passing it on. The penalty assessed is that the reader sign the roster. I have one book that has been loaned to 23 different readers, and another that almost as many have read. The flyleaf bears a request that the book be returned. "In time the books get broken hacks, of course, but you learn to love books," as you love people, that get crippled in a good cause. The plan enables me to encourage my friends to read good books, and the list of readers is interesting to others to whom the book is offered." Mrs. Bertha Walker and Mrs. Dora Monroe are assessors for Quindaro township. This is a new experience. The new woman! Rev. A. H. Jones preached an interesting sermon Sunday. At church board meeting it was decided to buy the lot adjoining the church. A swival and rally were planned. Mr. Edward Banks is looking for the arrival of his son, Solomon. Mr. W. M. Rollins and Mr. F. M. Daniels are subscribers for The Advocate. People are beginning to get their ground ready. Dr. Peck spent the latter part of the week in Topeka. Mrs. Peck's mother and sister, who have been very sick, are improving. Her sister, Mrs. Allen, of St. Joseph, visited the school last week. Lieut. and Sergeant Brown visited Western University Tuesday. Lieut. Brown spoke at length of his experiences in France. It was enjoyed by all. The Pen Point, the Western University student paper, is quite a neat news paper. It reflects credit upon its editor, Prof. Steele, and his associate, Prof. Crews. It will give tone to the institution, We wish them well—yes, with a paid up subscription, The men's meeting was very helpful. We are in sore need of these discussion groups. Where two or three meet together in discussion the destiny of a republic may be determined. Weighty problems are before us. Let all of the men of the community get the habit of coming out every Thursday evening. Meeting in Ward Hall at 8 o'clock. G. A, GREGG, President, FORUM SUNDAY Helpful Home Library. QUINDARO President Wilson Realized He Held Higher Position Than Hereditary Monarch of Britain. Man is a queer critter. Apparently he loves to make him a fetish, crawl in front of it on his belly and beat his forehead on the ground in object submission. Since the dawn of history men have made and unmade kings as easily as a child makes mud pies. They have lifted one of their number on the throne, worshiped him, trembled at his power, kissed his feet and, tiring of him, they have often killed him as the ox is slaughtered. Again and again they have proved that kings are common clay depending for their prerogatives solely upon the acquiescence of their equals, yet the worshiping of royal personages as though they were appointees of the Delys has continued to this day. The grandfather of the president of the United States was an humble subject of the mighty British king. The president sat at the king's table, the elected representative of the richest, most powerful nation on earth. The president addressed the king. But he did not say "your majesty" or "your royal highness." Knowing that the elected head of one hundred million occupies a more exalted position than the hereditary, titular and nominal ruler of forty million, knowing the hollow emptiness of royal pomp and trappings, knowing the character of the common clay of which kings are made, the president declined by humble speech to give homage where none was due, and smashed another precedent and addressed the king as plain "sir" and "you."—Sunset Magazine. MIND CONTROL WORTH WHILE Not an Easy Thing to Acquire, 'but Its Value Is Beyond All Computation. Jealousy is a kind of misery that could be avoided if one could forcibly remove one's mind from a hurtful subject. Anyone who has ever been jealous knows how the mind runs round and round from one suspicion and one torturing thought to another, like an animal in a cage. Mind control would enable one to take the mind out of the cage and set it free. Anger is another energy waster which would be minimized if one could control one's mind. One might be momentarily angry, of course, but one would not permit one's mind to brood over real or fancied wrongs until one's whole brain was filled with the poisons of hate. These states of mind are but a few of the many which could be avoided if one only began as early as possible to control one's mind. Begin in the little things and by and by you will gain a larger control. Say, this very day: "I will not worry over that problem." Mind control is not an easy faculty to acquire. No one can say that. But one always has this to encourage one—that every victory makes the next victory easier.—New York Evening Telegram. Making Furniture With Home Tools. "Some of the neatest furniture that I ever saw was made with no other tools than an ax and a knife, the blade of which was made out of a piece of barrel hoop, tempered and sharpened for the purpose," says Dan Beard in his article on "How to Make Rustic Furniture" in Boys' Life. "In a little log shack in the northern wilderness of the Quebec country, miles and miles from either wagon or railroads, I saw rocking chairs made by hand by an Indian who had never seen a carpenter's chest of tools. He had made all the tools that he used except his ax. The rocking chairs were trim, shapely and better made than any we can buy in the stores." Italy's Present to Wilson. Italy's Present to Wilson. A gift, a combination of beauty and rarity, is to be made to President Wilson by the Italian government. If reports speak true, the gift consists of an antique and beautiful painting, which has only just come to light. The rarity, for a newly discovered painting, even if beautiful, is not exactly an uncommon thing in Italy, consists in the extraordinary fact that this painting was made on a piece of the sail of the caravel on which Christopher Columbus embarked on the voyage which resulted in his discovery of America. Nothing more appropriate could have been presented to President Wilson; certainly no discovery of a buried bit of antiquity was over more apropos. Rhine Whines. Apropos of the whines for mercy that keep coming out of Germany—Rhine whines, as they are called—Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia, said the other day: "Germany reminds me of a woman who, entering her little-boy in a new school, said to the teacher: "'Leedle Fritzy he is delicate, und so, if he iss badt—und he vill be badt sometimes—joost lick der boy next to him, und dat vill frighten him.'" Grain: Quiékly Handled. A remarkable speed record in handling grain was made recently when 450,000 bushels of wheat, the product of 30,000 acres at 15 bushels to the acre, was loaded in four hours from an elevator at Superior, Wis., into a lake steamer. The cargo was shipped to Buffalo and ground into flour by one of the big mills there in four days, making flour to supply 1,900,000 people for a month. Little Cordelle White, Jr., is quite sick.
