Colonel Young, being an instructor in this well and widely known school for a number of years, and many of its students coming west, living in the two cities, the meeting was that of a family reunion, after many years separation. The gathering was a most enjoyable one, and many experiences and reminiscences of college life were dug up and made the property of much amusement. Songs of ye olden days were sung, accompanied on the piano by Col. Young, Mr. Oneil Mitchell, and Mr. A. L. Foster. The colonel never enjoys himself quite so well as when he can meet with a bunch of Wilberforceians. An abundance of refreshments were served during the evening and it was at a pretty late hour when the twenty-five or more departed to their homes. Those who were present were the honored guest, Colonel Charles A. Young, U. S. A.; Mrs. Gertrude Jenkins and her little daughter, Yvette; Miss Anna Jones, Rev. G. E. Horsey, Editor Thos.

CITY KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY nt," Wednesday, June COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES WESTERN UNIVERSITY President Peck Closes Very Comm Work. Colonel Young of United States Vital Message. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY BIG EVENT President Peck Closes Very Commendable Year's Work. Colonel Young of United States Army Brings Vital Message. Western University and Lincoln High School cadets joined in a big demonstration to celebrate the Annual Comencement exercises of that great institution. The Lincoln High School band and cadets forming a military escort for Colonel Young, marched from The Paseo Y. M. C. A. on Eighteenth street to Grand and north on Grand to Ninth, thence to Eighth and Wyandotte streets. Here the cadets and band boarded special cars and were taken to Kansas City, Kansas, where Civilized Long Before 1861. "Contrary to the stated belief, the black man was not freed fifty years ago in America, a savage. We were a civilized people under the highest laws of men when we came over here, and we were a civilized people when we were freed. Had we not been, we could not have taken the white man's language, religion, customs and habits—good and bad—and progressed as we have. I am proud of that achievement. "Beginning back in ancient history, the black people had kingdoms and civilization. The sphinx of Egypt is fashioned with a flat nose and the mouth of a black man. No one knows when it was carved from the rock, or what early nation of artists fashioned it. I am proud that I am a black man. When it comes to statesmanship and ability, you will get plenty of it among the black men. "You had better get out your good black clothes that the good God made you in and stay with the genius of the black man he has given us. We need more knowledge of the history and accomplishments so our own race." Twenty-five members of the graduating class were given diplomas. An entertainment of music and speaking was given, in which three students delivered orations of their own composition. One of the largest crowds attended the commencement exercises that has been seen on the campus for years, and weather conditions kept away as many more. President Peck has done a noble work for the school in his first year's administration, although he entered upon it with a number of handicaps. The music rendered by Prof. Jackson's chorus and Miss Carney's Girls' Glee Club was of high class. The orations by the two young ladies and the young man showed thoroughness of the finished course. Those who met Colonel Young at the depot were Dr. T. C. Chapman, Rev. J. F. Griffin, Dr. Perry, Attorney W. C. Houston, Editor N. C. Crews, Dr Miller and Editor Thos. Kennedy. They were joined later at the Y. M. C. A. by others and with their honored guest went on a sightseeing trip over the boulevards. The Wilberforce Club of the two cities entertained Colonel Young Thursday evening from 8 to 12 at the residence of Dr. Chapman. About twenty-five were present. A new store, 524 Minnesota avenue, The Leader, is opening up under very encouraging conditions. The managers and proprietors are liberal with their customers and cater to the demands of the public. Their goods are fresh and new and prices commensurate with conditions. These gentlemen offer their goods under the slogan, "Better Merchandise for Less." Good reports are reaching us to the effect that they are rapidly coming to the front because of their satisfactory dealings. The Advocate readers are finding bargains with The Leader people.

The Lincoln High School band and cadets forming a military escort for Colonel Young, marched from The Paseo Y. M. C. A. on Eighteenth street to Grand and north on Grand to Ninth, thence to Eighth and Wyandotte streets. Here the cadets and band boarded special cars and were taken to Kansas City, Kansas, where they met the committee and honored guest again in autos at Fifth and Minnesota avenue and took up their line of march west on Minnesota avenue to Eighth street. Throngs of white and colored people crowded the walks to hear the martial strains and get sight of the greatest militray genius the race has produced in a century. The final lap of the march was made from the end of the Quindaro car line to the University, led by the University band, where a large tent, under which 5,000 people awaited in anxious expectancy the arrival of the guest of honor and his escort. At 3 o'clock the program began. The music and orations of the graduates showed careful and scientific training, this reflecting the high quality of the faculty. Colonel Young was introduced by Editor Crews of the Kansas City Sun in an eloquent and stirring speech. The colonel arose to the occasion with the Chautauqua salute from 5,000 hands. He appeared in the trim uniform of his rank. His bearing was graceful, his gestures were fitting and his voice reached every part of the large tent. The audience sat in wrap attention. Every eye was fastened upon the polished and erudite speaker who, without manuscript, launched into one of the most notable addresses heard in this part of the country for some time. Time and again the speaker drove home his points with telling force by the employment of the famous Sorites Method. We quote from his speech: "If you want the freedom that President Wilson has asked for the world, and I take it that he means freedom for both black and white you have got to get back to God, and realize that there is a 'divnie consciousness in the world,' Colonel Young said. "The black people have gone to hating, and that gets you nowhere. Love, Christianity, gentleness, kindness and courtliness get us everywhere. How many here can give several good reasons why they are proud of the black race? "I am proud God made me black," said Colonel Young. "I am proud that I belong to a race that has solved problems in Africa that we are struggling with in America to day. In Africa, among the black nations, there is no poverty; no prostitution; no ill harmony among the peoples. The missionaries who wen there to save the black people found the black people were saving them selves and that many others did not need saving. I am proud that I am of a race that has a higher sympathy for its fellow man, and which has a more beautiful disposition and a more appreciative view of art, literature and culture, in spite of its pov Notes.

B. Young, made a short talk. He recounted the progress of the race from the past fifty years. He said that it was fitting that the race at this point in its history should celebrate the coming of the Negro to America three hundred years ago, and the race celebrate that time by opening a bank near the spot where the slaves landed with a trust department. The officers of the bank are P. B. Young, president; G. H. Francis, M. D., Levi C. Brown, and M. R. Jackson, vice-presidents; J. S Jones is the secretary treasurer.

Start Friday night, June. 13th. "Salt Boulevard," between Kanopolis and Ellsworth, is being planned by the board of county commissioners. The material to be used on the road will be cinders and salt, both of which can be obtained at the Kanopolis salt works free, except the cost of hauling. The plan for a "salt boulevard" is fathered by County Engineer Storey, who says the undertaking by no means is an experiment. He asserts highways have been constructed before of these materials, and have proven very satisfactory. If properly graded, he says, the combination makes a hard, compact substance which sheds water and dries out quickly after a storm. Attorney General R. J. Hopkins has sent a circular letter to the county attorneys of Kansas calling attention to the fact that he received many complaints that the state law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes is being continuously violated. The attorney general's letter says: "War conditions caused an extensive use of cigarettes among the soldiers, and it seemed for a while that the legislature would repeal the anti-cigarette law, as it now exists. However, that did not happen, and it remains your duty to see that the law is enforced." HERE IT IS. History of the American Negro in the Great World War by W. Allison Sweney.

NOW:WE MAY-KNOW BOSWELL ' Description E Blographer, 1 Weittenby - Himself, Reveals Him aa * "Very Home, =" OC | How pleasant it is to know that Boswell, who-we have always thought was merely a kind of animated note- book, was a droll, vain, bibulous, warm-hearted creature, a god deal of 8 Pepys, In fact, says Colller’s Weekly. ‘A’ Edward Newton's ‘éntertiining “amenities of Book Collecting,” a vol- ‘ume of éSsays which shows that a ‘business man.can write better Iitera- ture than a hundred professors mulled into one, makes Boswell very human! How jolly to hear that Boswell wrote press notices about himself! Here Is the’ of hiS own blurbs; Which We ‘quote from Mr. Newton's book? “Boswell, the-author, is a itiost ex cellent man; ‘he“{s-of an ancient fam- ily In the west of Scotlasid, upon which he values himself not a-little:: Athis mativity there appeared omens of: his future greatness. His parts are bright, and bis,education-has'been-good.

Unless a man has a litle worry apathy, indifference and the mechan- {eal physical disinclination: to do your utmost without stint will be lacking. Without this condiment of life, this salt of the human cosmos, “we see to what absurd yet tragie physical lengths he is driven by the whip of that still vigorous tyrant, his self- Instinct to fight.” This thrilling force, whith one time had been used square- ly and successfully against the real world enemy, Is now absorbed In trivial and self-debasing skirmishes with the grotesque bolsheviki of ‘bls Imagination. In other words, if a man has a va- rlety of anxious explosive outlets via his muscles and intellect, such as driv- Ing, tennis, swimming, dancing, compe tition, golf and the like, these act as safety valves for the multitude of Im- pulses and reactions which haDit and custom have compressed out of his external activities.

Algerian Grain Production, Methods of grain production used in Algeria are very similar to those used in Utah, Idaho ond eastern Washing: ton. Owing to the light rainfall much of the land Is cropped’ only alternate years, a clean fallow being maintained during the summer preceding the sow: Ing of the crop. In more favorable situations it 1s often customary to pro duce two or three grain crops In suc: cessive years, allowing the land to lic follow one year in four or one yea! In five. Speaking generally, the soils of the grain-growing regions are rather heavy; and are very productive when.the rain fall is adequate. Some of the land: are underlain by calcareous hardpan which it is sometimes necessary t: break up by an occasional deep plow ing in order to secure maximum pro duction. Making Arrangements.

Emma ts dead. .She died, not pér haps altogether that others might live, but she surely dled to make an Amerl- ean holiday. Most of her life she had been petted and dined, for it was de- signed that she put on welght, much as the female of the species objects to embonpoint. Emma was, in her tender youth, removed from base hospital 15 to base 32, And that Is just where in- terest for all the folks at home who have boys at base 82 starts, for surely no member of the hospital so far for- got his surroundings as not to mention Emma in his letters. So Emma grew and grew. Recently the end came. It was announced in a letter home thus ‘Icouically and graphically: “We ate Emma yesterday.” She was served to the hospital attaches, and while it may be disloyal to say so, the diners say she tasted better than American pork, But weep not, you outsiders who read this, for Emma was only a wild hog.— Stars and Stripes.
