TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. FIRST A. M. E. RE-ENTERS THEIR NEW AUDITORIUM Bishop Jones Delivers Two Great Sermons at Opening 1,500 AT SERVICES Many Visitors Present From Churches of the City The going back into the new auditorium Sunday, after being out for some two months, brought an audience to the morning service of fully fifteen hundred people Friends and members from most every church and denomination in the city were present to hear Bishop J. H.' Jones of Ohio, and to do their bit in making the occasion a high one in the name of the master. Promptly at 10:55, with Mrs. Summers at the new pipe organ, the choir of 34 members, in their snowy white robes, with Miss Carney, chorister, slowly and gracefully marched from the choir rooms above from both sides, down the beautiful hardwood paneled stairway to the choir loft. Angels could hardly have looked more beautiful. After the doxology by the choir and congregation, an old and appropriate hymn was lined by the pastor lead by the choir, and a fervent prayer by Rev. Patterson. The choir then sang a beautiful anthem, following which the Scripture lesson was read Dr. Griffin then introduced the Rt. Rev. J. H. Jones, D.D. bishop of the Tenth Episcopal district, who delivered a most wonderful sermon of spiritual philosophy, which filled the large congregation to the utmost. Bishop Jones has no equal when it comes to Christian Ethies and philosophy. After the reception of members the choir rendered another beautiful anthem. At 3 p. m., a platform meeting was held, when many of the city's ministers were present. Rev. S. Sawyer of the M. E. church, read the Scripture lesson. Rev. N. B. Robinson made the invocation. Revs. D. A. Holmes of Metropolitan Baptist church; W. A. Bowren of First Baptist church; G. A Terry of the Christian church, and S. Sawyer of the Ninth Street M. E. church made remarks of great interest. Other ministers were invited, but sent their regrets. The choir rendered several fine selections. At 8 p. m., another large audience was on hand to help close the greatest Lord's Day in the history of First Church. Bishop Jones delivered another masterly sermon which was received with open hearts. The trustees' collection for the day I Told You Banks Would Do It The People's Mercantile Company has decided to make their capital stock $25,000.00, instead of $10,000.00. This will give us plenty of money to operate every department successfully. Dear friends, didn't you know you are missing the greatest opportunity of your life by not taking some of this stock and make this race just what it ought to be? We are going at this matter in the right way; we will incorporate under the Blue Sky Law of Kansas. Every dollar of your money will be fully protected. We will have our charter in a few days, and in 90 days we will swing wide our doors for the biggest Negro business in the West. Shares are still selling at $5.00 per share. You had better hurry before they go sky high. See our Mr. W. G. BANKS, the promoter of this great move. He will gladly explain it to you. 516 Minnesota Avenue Phone Bell West 255 UNIFORM COMPANIES TO HOLD ANNUAL REUNION Mid-West Company No. 2, and Stringer Company No.11, U. R. K. P., will hold their Annual Thanksgiving services Sunday afternoon at 2:30, at Mt. Zion Baptist church, corner of Fourth street and Virginia avenue. The Rev. Moses Williams pastor of this church, will deliver the sermon. A splendid program has been arranged for the occasion The two companies, with the First Regiment band, attended the annual sermon of the Second Regiment on the Missouri side last Sunday and they will return the compliment to the Kansas side this Sunday with their band There is expected a big turnout from the public, as the services are always feelingly patronized. One-third of all the collection will be given to the Orphans' Home. DR. DAVIS BUYS ON AVENUE Dr. A. Porter Davis, one of our prominent physicians, has purchased a twostory brick building at 422 Minnesota avenue, the upstairs of which has 12 living rooms, all modern. The first floor, which has been occupied by a blacksmith, has been turned into garage by the doctor, of which hq is operating himself. This building is among the most substantial ones in the block, and Dr. Davis is to be congratulated on purchasing this valuable piece of property, of which its cost run up into the thousands. was $1,002.25, bringing the total for the rally up to $8,950.25. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, was feeling at his best all day and received many warm handshakes and congratulations from hundreds of visitors in making it possible what their eyes had seen and their ears received on re-entering of such a beautiful and handsome auditorium. Although the good parson stated he tok no honors to himself for whatever had been done, but gave God the glory for it all, as it was His work and not man's and he believed that He was well pleased with the beauty of His temple. Notes. Thre were many out of town visitors and many members from the churches of the two cities worshipped all day Sunday with this congregation and people. Bishop Jones was one of the big drawing events Sunday, and many expressed themselves the desire of another opportunity of hearing, him The new pipe organ is a handsome one, and Mrs. Lulu Summesri plays it in the same way. Miss Carney, when directing the choir from her pedestal, spreading her milky white wings, resembles that of an angel. The choir certainly looks beautiful beyond description in their white robes; of course they are finelooking anyway.

Information write JESSE PECK, President. ONLY ONE W. G. BANKS Mr. W. G. Banks, the supervisor of the American Woodmen of Kansas, just can't stop doing things. As he has made the Woodmen of Kansas one of the great things of the state, and the people know it. Now he is going to make something come to pass in this city, that has long been the hopes of its colored citizens. And W. G. Banks is the man of the hour, or in other words there is only one W. G. Banks, a Texican by birth and a Kansan by adoption. And with Texian fearlessnes sand Kansan language he just goes right on doing things. Now it's a mercantile company among our people in Kansas City, Kansas, and it is sure to be a winner, with Banks at its head. Do you know "banks" seldom fail and this one is reliable. The capital stock of this company was started at $10,000; shares $5.00 but the stock was sold so rapidly that the capital stock was raised to $25,000 and now it looks like it might go higher in order to let a greater number have a few shares in this great race upbuilding enterprise. The idea is to place on the avenue an up-to-date mercantile store, operated by the colored people, where many of our girls and boys may be employed and at the same time, making a good income on the investment for each stockholder. It is the intention of carrying a large stock of goods-run on the order of a department store, but will carry groceries, meats, shoes, dry goods and ready-made clothing. 'An enthusiastic meeting was held Wednesday night at Mt. Zion Baptist church, when a large number of shares were sold, many taking the limited block of stock. Those who wish to take out stock or be enlightened as to its authenticity can see Mr. Banks at the Woodmen's office, 516 Minnesota avenue. Roscoe Conklin Simmons to speak here soon. Watch for date in this paper. N. A. A. C. P. We have all had a visit from meetings and activities related to the branch this summer. Let us take up the good work with renewed interest. Many questions of vital importance are before us. Friday, September 12, will be our regular monthly meeting night. Let us consider carefully the state of unrest in the country.

It was held in the city of Wilmington and was largely attended, more than 150 delegates being in attendance. Every presiding elder except one was there and a large number of the ministers and lay workers. The general secretary, Dr. Julian C. Caldwell, of Nashville, Tenn.; Dr. W. A. Fountain, president of. Morris Brown University; and Dr. E. H. McGill, of Orangeburg, S. C., were the special lecturers. Dr. John R. Hawkins, of Washington, D. C., delivered the closing address on Sunday night. The convention went on record as endorsing Dr. J. C. Caldwell, her native son, for the bishopric, he having been born in Chapel Hill, N C, forty-nine years ago. The convention also endorsed for the bishopric Dr. W. A. Fountain of Georgia, and Dr. R. C. Ransom of New York Dr. A J. Wilson, the state superintendent of the League evidenced his fitness for the position by his splendid leadership. THE MILO THEATRE PUTS OUT S. R. O. CARD The Milo Theatre, on North Tenth street, between Freeman and New Jersey, is having the biggest season of its career. There is hardly an evening in the week when the S R. O. sign is not put out. Of course there is a reason, and it is readily accounted for when one knows the class of pictures the manager, Mr. Stone, is putting on. Labor Day this large house could hardly accommodate the vast crowds, when that most wonderful 8-reel picture, showing the massacre of the Armenians in "Auction of Souls," of which has been read about in most every home in our land. On next Monday and Tuesday night our great Negro fighters will be shown in action on the battlefields of France, taken from real action. Mr. Stone says there is nothing on the market too good or price too high for his house to have for his people. No cheap, trashy pictures go in The Milo, says Manager Stone. Prof, Rueben Brown has rented his home out and moved to Rosedale for the winter, where he is principal of the Rosedale school. NUMBER 5. A WIFE FOR $47; $50 BILL FOR $15; BUT J. O. BALKED New Y'rk Hath Terrors for Our Traveling Correspondent MEETS A KANSAN And Then the Bed Car Fiend Makes Out All Right New York—It is an awful thing to be green in New York, and to have people play you for a rube. I have had my experience in this city, and I feel that I have bought a million dollars worth of experience I am here, but believe me, right after the meeting of the National Baptist convention next week I will be away from here. You will be interested, perhaps, to know that Col. J. O. Midnight will be in Kansas City, Kansas, September 24, attending the session of the Kansas Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church. I have been invited there by Dr. J. H. Ransom, Bishop H Blanton Parks, Editor Thomas Kenendy and Mrs. Norene Davis, and her poetical husband, Tilford Davis, and you will see me come stepping down the line in the latest improved New York style. Getting just a little over the shock of the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias, and the big things and little things that were done there, I got myself together and started for New York. I put my hat off and got out a clean shirt, and put them all in the rack over head, but when I got off I had my hat, but not my shirt. When I got to New York Sunday morning, I was a clean shirtless man. So I just got on that underground thing and rode to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Satterwhite, friends from down home. His wife, was once Miss Sadie Webb, was a teacher in Birmingham, and he is one of the finest men I have met in this country. I wish you could have seen him trying to do something to get me a shirt. He left for Atlantic City, and his wife thought it would be a great scheme to put two of his shirts together and try to get me a fit in that way, as I am just about twice as large as he is now. But that would not work. I went out in the street and purchased me a new shirt for $1.75, and I then had my partner ready for the church. I went to the Abyssinia Baptist church, of which the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell is pastor. The preacher for Sunday morning and evening was Charles Stewart, so I had to be punished by him. I had to stand all the time he was talking. That was over then I went to my stopping place which had been secured by Dr. J. W. Rankin. It was at the home of Mrs. H. S. Campbell, 20S 143rd street. She was looking for me, and believe me honey, she had a dinner that would make the mouth of the president of the nation hanker and run water. I sent that dinner into my eternity, and off to (Concluded on Third Page) KANSAS COAL COMPANY (Successors to J. M.

When there is so much strife, bitterness an cruelty manifested, it is esesn- tial that we call a halt or pause and consdier our'relations to others. ‘We should niake it a point to note the good qualities in others and speak of them There is pride in most of fis ‘and the traits-people like in us we will’ endeavor to keep in mind and act upon. This will aid us in suppressing undesirable traits. Children expand their stories be- ‘cause they see they are enjoyed. Each individual has some good quality.‘ If we would think more of others it would not be necessary, neither would we be so inclined to think, so much of ourselves. Thoughts and kidnnesses would be reciprocal. One of the cruel experiences is the silence of a friend when oppor- tunity for speaking comes. This may show that the term friend is not properly uesd Such an omission caused a loss of friendship. Lay up capital in friends. Make friends. Be friendly. Words make friends. Actions cultivate friendly relations, . Friendship is not confined to rac or ayy narrow distinctions. In these times of strikes, riots anc all manner of disturbances let us re: member that we are human Let u remember that others suffer. . So let us act then thet of other: should act as we do it will redount to our satisfaction and the good o all G. A.

The strike of employees of the Des Moines (Ia.) street car company was averted when the men's wages were increased from 47 to 60 cents an hour. They had demanded an increase of 65 cents. If it is found the company cannot meet the increase the city council will be asked to allow the company to increase its fares. Several hundred Boston policemen have expressed themselves in favor of affiliation with the American Federation of Labor. The chief reason for their action, it was said, is that they have had great difficulty in getting a salary of $1,600 a year, whereas Chicago policemen who are associated with organized labor are about to receive salaries of $2,000 a year. Work in all departments of the Boston navy yard was suspended while the mechanics joined in a parade and mass meeting to protest against the announcement that the working force of 8,000 must be reduced by at least 1,500, to square with the cut in naval appropriations made by congress. It was said that the walkout was virtually complete. Demands for wages of $1 an hour for oilers, firemen, boiler washers and maintenance men, and $125 a month for coal passers at the Chicago city waterworks were made by James B. Conroy, business agent of the International Union of Stationary Firemen and Oilers at a conference with Water Commissioner Edward E. Wall and Charles Hertenstein, president of the efficiency board. Chief of Mines Button of Harrisburg, Pa., was informed by the attorney general that questions relative to establishment of barrier pillars in mining operations are not to be determined by the attorney general, but by the mine experts, who constitute the proper tribunal under the law, and that the mine inspector in charge of the district must arrange a meeting and hold hearings. J. Hochman, president of Local No. 100 of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' union announced that the Chicago manufacturers had granted an increase in wages and better conditions, and a proposed strike had been called off. A settlement of the strike of the Haskell-Barker, Car company's plant, at Michigan City, Ind., has been effected by Fred L. Feick, mediator for the United States department of labor. The eight-hour day, time and one-half pay for overtime and an increase in wages approximating 15 per cent were granted the men. MONTANA MINERS GIVEN ADVANCE Wage Increase Conditional on Settlement of Factional Labor Disputes. I. W. W. LOCALS ARE IGNORED Agreement Affects Twenty Thousand Men, and It Is Believed All the Mines Will Soon Resume Normal Operations. On the proviso that the labor organizations will settle all factional labor disputes, without involving the employing companies, the mining companies operating in Butte, Mont., offered their employees a new wage scale, which carries with it a wage advance of $1 per day. Miners will receive $5.75, engineers $7, general tradesmen $6.50, and laborers $5. The agreement affects nearly 20,000 men of Butte, Great Falls and Anaconda, and is made with the recognized labor organizations affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. In the negotiations the two Butte I. W. W. locals were ignored, as well as the recently formed "One Big Union." It is believed that the Increased wage scale will result in many miners who have left Butte this summer returning to the city, and that the mines which have been operating about 35 per cent can soon resume normal operations. Plea for Americanism. President M. G. Scott of the International Typographical union has strongly indorsed the work of the bureau of naturalization, department of labor, in promoting the study of the English language by foreign-born residents, through the formation of classes in the public schools. "This movement to develop an intelligent understanding of American ideals and our form of government among those who intend to become citizens is most important, and I am glad to know that the department of labor's plans are systematic and comprehensive," writes Mr. Scott. The United Mine Workers, whose membership includes hundreds of thousands of aliens, has recently agreed to co-operate with the bureau in Americanizing these aliens. Workers Oppose Prohibition. At a conference of 300 of the 500 delegates to the Minnesota State Federation of Labor convention at New Ulm, a resolution was adopted to form a new political party to be known as the Working Peoples' Nonpartisan League of Minnesota. Among the principal platform planks are an eighth day and public ownership of all public utilities. A resolution pledging the new party to co-operate with the National Nonpartisan league was adopted by a large vote. The Minnesota Trades Union league took a firm stand against prohibition at the annual meeting of that organization, which was followed by the opening of the annual meeting of the Minnesota State Federation of Labor. Frank Hoffman of Minneapolis was elected president of the organization. Japanese Mills Increase. The cotton spinning industry in Japan is considered by many to be as important commercially as the silk industry. The number of cotton spinning mills increased from 152 in 1900 to 177 in 1918. The authorized capital of these industries totaled $96,500,000 in 1918, as against $56,500,000 in 1909. DEMOCRACY VS. AUTOCRACY. "There is no royal road to food conservation. We can only accomplish this by the voluntary action of our whole people, each element in proportion to its needs. It is a matter of equality of burden." The truth of this statement, made by the United States Food Administrator soon after we entered the war, has been borne out by the history of our exports. Autocratic food control in the lands of our enemies has broken down, while democratic food sharing has maintained the health and strength of this country and of the Allies.
