TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. WHITE CHURCH SCHOOL HOLDS COMMENCEMENT The school at White Church held its closing exercises Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Lydia Ellis of this city is its principal. Dr. J. F Griffin, pastor of the First A. M. E. church, delivered the address to the graduates and the A. M. E. choir furnished the music. About thirty from here attended, going out in motor trucks. A fine program was rendered by puils of the school, including recitations, declamations and readings. The parents furnished a big chicken dinner to all present, which included a large number of white citizens of that community. Mrs. Ellis has been at the head of this school for some years, and her work has been of the best. The trucks returned with their cargo of chicken about 6 p. m. WILBERFORCIANS MET MONDAY On Monday evening a large number of the Wilberforce Club of the two cities, who had located here from time to time, either teachers or some profession, met at the office of Dr. T. C. Chapman, 1503 East Eighteenth street, Monday evening to arrange for a reception to Col. Charles Young, who will deliver the commencement address to the graduating class June 5th, at Western University. A partial program was arranged, which will be completed at a meeting next Monday at the same place. All Wilberforcians are expected to be present at 8 p. m. Col. Young's home is at Wilberforce, O., where he was military instructor for several years. COL. CHAS. YOUNG, U. S. A. Colonel Charles Young, of the United States Army, the highest ranking officer of the race, and the only West Pointer we can point to, will make the Commencement ad- dress at Western University Thursday, June the 5th. Col. Young is a brilliant scholar and his army record of some twenty-five years' service has been of the highest character. He is a pleasing speaker, with that military training of exactness of choice words of thought and logic. Colonel Young from a governmental view, is the greatest Negro of the race today, and the president of Western University, Dr. Peck, and this great Western populace should feel it extremely fortunate, as well as a high distinction in securing his presence and service on this occasion. No doubt, the largest gathering ever has been seen at a graduating commencement in this part of the country will be present to see and hear this great army officer.

A. A. C. P. GIVES SWELL DINNER AT THE Y. W. C. A. The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Prof. G. A. Gregg, president, invited the ministers, business and professional men and a number of our women who are vitally interested in this Association to meet at the Young Women's Christian Association last Thursday afternoon to exchange ideas and form plans for the twelve hundred membership drive. A fine representative number responded from all of these classes mentioned. The president soon introduced his plan and program, as to what was wanted and what was expected from those present and others who were not there, in reaching the membership desired. It was unanimously discussed, that this Association was undoubtedly the only one which the race could look to in any great degree for a defense, that was practical, against injustice of every kind. While it was an enthusiastic gathering, reason prevailed in every expression uttered. The idea was carried out by every speaker, whatever we do, it should be done at once, if we expect to make this organization The power for good. The ladies of the "Y" served a four-course chicken dinner, which was enjoyed by the guests. Many compliments were expressed by those present in behalf of the ladies. It is hoped that this gathering will bring the desired results, for which is was intended. Lincoln High at Convention Hall, Thursday, May 29th. You know the rest.

Topeka, May 21—Governor Allen began making preparations today for the reception of the Negro soldiers of Kansas when they return to this country. The governor has been advised by the War Department that the three regiments in which the Kansas Negroes are listed chiefly have been assigned to an early convoy, but no definite date or even an approximate, date has been fixed for their return. The Kansas Negroes are chiefly in the 803d, 804th and 805th regiments of pioneer infantry. Most of them were trained at Camp Funston with the 92d division and then changed to pioneer regiments when they reached France. Col. C. B. Humphrey of the 805th, in a letter to Governor Allen, said that "the Kansas men in my regiment have made excellent reputations and you will be proud of them." There are 459 Negroes from Kansas in the 805th and about, an equal number in the other two regiments. The governor has written prominent, Negroes in various parts of the state asking if any of them cared to make the trip to New York or Newport News and pay their own expenses as all other members of the reception committees have done. It is expected that a committee will go to welcome the soldiers. It is also planned to give the men a reception at either Kansas City, Topeka or Camp Funston as they are returned to this state for demobilization. Remember the date, Thursday May 29th, at Convention Hall.

To abolish legal injustice against Negroes. 2. To stamp out race discriminations. 3. To prevent lynchings, burnings, and torturings of black people. 4. To secure to every citizen of color, the common rights of American citizenship. President Wilson declared for woman suffrage as a war measure. Black men are not allowed to vote in many of the states of the Union, despite the Fifteenth Amendment. 5. To compel equal accommodations in railroad travel, irrespective of color. 6. To secure for colored children an equal opportunity to public school education through a fair apportionment of public education funds. Unless the colored child can be educated he is at a fearful disadvantage. An uneducated Negro poulation menaces national well-being. This education should be of hand and brain and can be adequately done for all Negro children, not the fortunate few, only by public schools. 7. To emancipate in fact, as well as in name, a race of nearly 12,000,000 American born citizens. The only means we can employ are education, organization, agitation, publicity—the force of an enlightened public opinion. Membership fee, $1.00; Crisis, $1.

ATTENDS A. F. OF M. CONVENTION Special to The Advocate. Dayton, O., May 13.-The twenty-fourth annual convention of the American Federation of Musicians assembled in this city on Monday, May 12. The morning session was devoted to assembling and registering, outfitting delegates with badges, after which a monster parade was given, led by a band of about 70 pieces. In the afternoon addresses of welcome were delivered by the mayor, J. M. Switzer, Roland Baggott, judge of the court of domestic relations, and Judge W. A. Budroe, of the municipal-court. Never has it been my privilege to hear two such consummate humorists on the same program. Both the judges assured the delegates that their badge, if compelled to say while here, "Good morning, judge," would be a complete acquittal for any offense short of murder, and in case they committed that, to be careful who they killed. The second day was taken up with a trip to the plant of the great cash register company, where at noon an elaborate dinner was served. Then a trip to a beautiful community playground, known as "Hills and Dales Park," where a lunch was served. About 249 delegates composed the convention, seven of whom were colored, viz: Chas. L. Swayne, of Buffalo, N. Y.; W. E. Berry and Geo. A. Smith, of Chicago; M. D. Lucas and I. C. Harper, of Columbus, O.; Chas. Oldham, of Dayton, O., and Tilford Davis, Jr., of Kansas City, Local 627, A. F. of M. It is worthy of note that so far the colored delegates have received every possible consideration. We have compared notes, and found that we have all been sought out and approached by delegates from "way down south in Dixie," even, and not one has found any cause to complain of the treatment accorded us. The sessions are being held in the Gibbons Hotel. This, convention of musicians is representative of about 86,000 who are rated as professional musicians, and making a living exclusively from that profession, or using their ability to assist materially in keeping ahead of the wolf. It is a living argument for the musical education of our boys and girls, but, at the same time it bids—"Make it thorough." TILFORD DAVIS, JR. WONDER QUIT BUSINESS SALE The Wonder Clothes Store, at 524 Minesota avenue starts their big Quit Business Sale Saturday May 24th: This company which operates a large string of stores from coast to coast with headquarters in New York City owing to the great demand to supply the trade in their great chain of stores which their Eastern factory was unable to fill they were compelled to cut out scores of stores like Kansas City, Kansas, and many much larger. The company, wishing to protect their customers from dealers coming in at the low prices, that will only be one week, will not sell to one customer more than two suits and one overcoat. This company is one of reliability and has built up its enormous business in both cities, purely on the merit of more value at a living percentage on investment. Sale starts Saturday morning.

THINGS SEEN AND DONE IN KANSAS (By H. Milton Thurlow.) Editor Kansas City Advocate: Please let the readers of The Advocate have this little story. Beginning at Salina, Sunday, ult., 27th, I have followed-the trend of things and have the following to report: At Salina Revs. Burbridge and Banks of the A. M. E. and Baptist churches are moving forward with fair results. I made remarks for Brother Burbridge at 11 o'clock and tried to preach for Brother Banks at right. A good crowd of the members and friends greeted me and our Heavenly Father blessed the message. We spent two days in Ellsworth visiting our old friend (for we once preached there) preached and lectured to the edification of all. In one short six months many and marked have ben the changes. We visited the Denver Star Lodge of A. F. & A. M., at Salina and found W. M. D. L. Taylor and S. W. Sam Bryant moving things eastward. At the request of the W. M. I made an address on the duties of the craft in this new day of democracy. Topeka next claimed our attention and there we found Dr. H. W. King and his good madam hard at work for the Master and the cause of African Methodism and racial uplift. I visited the class meeting—it being Friday night—and had a delightful time. The work of the church is prospering in every way and anyone who thinks that old historic St. John and Rev. Dr. King are a misfit have reckoned without their host. St. John is a great church and Dr. King is a great pastor. Mr. Hawkins (the father-in-law of our own Rev. Dr. C. A., who built our fine church edifice at Wichita, Kans., and who now pastors St. Paul, St. Louis, Mo.) is doing the work of electing the great church which when completed will be a thing of beauty and a monument forever. The skilled hand of that polished Christian gentleman and great race leader, Rev. Dr. F. Jesse Pack (now president of Western University) is seen in no uncertain way. Among the men of St. John who are foremost in her success is Brother McNary. He is a real live wire. We journeyed Saturday to Wichita to spend Sunday with our old friend, Dr. Ransom. We found him as usual busy with matters of church, state and race. The church work moves forward at great speed and the people are proud of him as a leader. He had just returned from the city of magnificent distances, where he met the financial board of which he is an important member. Sunday was high day and God J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor.

CHURCH NEWS The usual large appreciative audience was present at the morning service. The pastor, Dr. J. F. Griffin, give to his hearers not what a theologian would call a sermon, but a lecture, or practical talk of the race or races. The pastor gives these talks of practical thought about once per month, and with his great volume of experience from day to day thought to all the people rich thought for their best good and the people in general. At the evening service the pastor continued his illustrated sermon with David and Jonathn, with moving pictures. The church was filled and many in the gallery to hear the second series of the Shepherd boy. The sermon was of great power and spiritual uplift, going back to those to those days, vividly portraying the hills with their flocks scattered over them and seeing among them their comforter and protector in time of trouble, little David playing on his harp, while his sheep nipped the grass. Also showing how God took care of him, when his enemies tried to lead him into traps. Rev. Collins will show two more reels of forty minutes this Sunday evening with a continuance of an illustrated sermon by the pastor. It's a wonderful picture and no one should miss seeing it, and hearing it explained intelligently. The choir gives a song recital before the beginning each Sunday evening of twenty-five minutes. Come by eight o'clock, if you want a choice seat. It's free. All are welcome. The Third Quarterly conference is near at hand, being the second Sunday in June. So every department of the church should commence to get ready for their reports. The Mock Conference districts 'are wakening up in earnest and each bishop and' his presiding elders, ministers and members are getting exceedingly active as to see which will reach the summit first. The baby contest comes off May the 30th, when will be known which district out of ten has the most popular baby and carrying with it the most popular bishop. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Stafford, who moved to Los Angeles some few months ago, have gone to Chicago, so don't be surprised to see them back in their regular pews at most any Sunday morning. They are surely welcome. blessed our feeble effort. The whole day was th eLord's and the people honored Him. Monday we visited the Minsterial Association and found the brothren as elsewhere driving away after the problems that meet us everywhere. We spent Monday with our friend, Rev. Enyard, at Newton. Sister Enyard makes an ideal minister's wife. The work was never in better condition and all goes well. We visited Emporia on special invitation, witnessed the Electoral College proceedings and preached for the good people at night. Pastor Woods and his dear wife seem to be well liked and the laymen evidenced an unusually high degree of Christian manhood. It was thoroughly layman from start to finish. The delegates-elect were G. A. Gregg, AiB., professor of mathematics Western University, Qindaro, Kans.; Percy Robinson, county coroner, Parsons, Kans. Thursday I returned to Newton, where I had been billed to lecture to the people of that beautiful city. A fine crowd greeted me and we had a great time. The people are really loyal to their race and are moved to do their whole duty in this new day of democracy and reconstruction. We left with a promise to return to them at some day in the near future. Ottawa next claimed our attention. Pastor Saunders had already invited us to visit him, for he was among the Kansas ministers we met at the Electoral College. It was early morn when we arrived, but like a brother, Dr. Saunders was up at the first rap and made us feel happy in no time. There was not the usual wait so common among us when INNOUNCER A. M. E. CHURCH you rap on a brother minister's door at early morn. The good pastor and wife are earnest workers and have wrought well in the little more than half year they have been in Ottawa. Indeed, they have rebuilt the church and in a measure the people. The work is a substantial one. There was one very noteworthy thing—Pastor Saunders never fails to give his predecessor the credit that is due him. Good! How often the man who succeeds you takes advantage of the situation to harm rather than help the cause that he is to espouse by trying to minimize his predecessor's work. That never comes to any good for, he who join a few grumbling and complaining souls today against one minister will not live very long before the very same fellows will make you the object of their hate and venom. Reverend Allen I found in Ottawa. He and his, good wife are faithful workers with Pastor Saunders. Rev. Allen is one of our faithful ministers in the Kansas conference. The people of Ottawa have given good account of themselves in the several walks of life which they have chosen. We lectured to those who came to hear us and felt paid for our trip. The very best of care was ours at the hands of Pastor and Mrs. Saunders. Saturday we were off for Coffeyville, the home of our old friend, Rev. H. H. Hones. The good Doctor and wife I found at home well and happy. It is needless to say that my greeting was anything save the warmest. We had a great time talking over the past and planning for the future. Mrs. Jones, although recently married, makes an ideal wife and with her friend, Jones will soon come into his own in this great church of ours. For forget not Mrs. Jones takes her place with the very foremost 'of our ministers' wives anywhere. Sunday we held forth at both night and evening services. The pastor had just closed a successful revival and now nearing the close of a rally which promises to eclipse anything yet in Coffeyville. Monday morning, in company with Pastor Jones, I visited the Ministerial Association and addressed the brothren. The state missionary of the Missionary Baptist church was there, Rev. VanLue, and also spoke. MAY FESTIVAL A grand May Festival by 40'little girls of the Yates Branch of the Y. W. C. A. Fancy drills, wrapping May pole, crowning the May queen.

Mrs. Corene Davis, 1116 Washington boulevard, Grand Worthy Councellor of Kansas, spent a few days in Topeka last week, with the local Court, to assist in plans to the sitting of the Grand Session.

A. Homes expound the Gospel. His subject was, "For me to live in Christ." The spiritual responses were many. Many Christians rejoiced while listening to the wonderful and truthful sermon. He then led the vast audience in "I've Anchored My Soul," and the choir led the congregation in "I Have a Saviour." Both were beautifully sung. Mrs. A. Hubbard of Chanute, Kansas, was asked to speak and her talk drew tears from the auditors' eyes. Pastor Holmes welcomed her nicely. A large collection was taken for the church and for a blind man who talked pathetically. At 8 p. m., our Servant of God spoke on "The Blood of Jesus." It was another soul-stirrer. It was very fervent and intellectual, and penetrated many hearts. The crowd was as large or larger than that of the morning. The Publicity Committee's narration of big night meetings and the work of the pastor and members through "God's Will." is bringing results. As the pastor led the multitude in singing "Nothing But the Blood of Jesus," some united with the church. Next Sunday, May 25th, the leader of this flock will preach two magnetic sermons. All are invited to come and hear them. Saints and sinners always welcome. The Mission Circle of the First Baptist church will hold their weekly meeting this (Friday) 2 p.m., at the home of Mrs. Davis. 449 New Jersey. This Circle is doing great work. MRS. LENA FISHER, Pres.

Long Ago It Was Universally Thought That They Originated From the Barnacle. The popular sixteenth century belief that geese originated from the barnacle was not confined to the uneducated, but was shared even by naturalists. John Gerard, in his "Herball (or General Historie of Plantes" (printed in London in 1597), in giving a description of this marvel, says he only tells "what our eles have seen and hands have touched." "On the Pile of Foulders," he goes on to say, "are founde certaine shels, wherein is contined a thing in forme like a lace finely woven; one end whereof is fastned unto the incide of the shell; the other end is made fast unto a rude mass, which in time commeth to the shape of a bird. In short space after it commeth to maturitie, and falleth into the sea, where it gathereth feathers and groweth to a foule which the people, of Lancashire call by no other name then a tree goose." He goes on to testify to their abundance by saying that the best of them could be bought for three-pence, and challenges the incredulous to "repaire unto me and I shall satisfie them by the testimone of good witnesses." The Pile of Foulders is the small island now known as Piel Island, near Barrow-in-Furness. COLD DRINKS REAM NDY 1614 North Tenth We Deliver Mr. R. M.

PEST SPREAD BY MOSQUITO Scientists Have Traced Cause of Disease That Has Long Been Prevalent in the Tropics. One of the most peculiar of all diseases is filariasis, common in the tropics. In the blood of persons suffering from it there are found innumerable little worms that can be seen only by the aid of a microscope. These are present only at night in the blood that is circulating. At about five o'clock in the afternoon they begin to appear in the blood, having been hidden away in the body until this time, and then they remain in the circulation until about midnight, when they begin to diminish. By eight or nine o'clock in the morning they have all disappeared, and a search of the blood under the microscope after this fails to reveal any. They are now collected in certain large blood vessels deep in the body, especially in the lungs, where they remain hidden until they go out on their next nocturnal excursion. 1 ME AT—— tte Cafe Third Street COOKED MEALS Drinks, Ice Cream Cigars" Made Pies—— Test 608 Lela Brown, Props.
