Kansas City Advocate

KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. Tag day on last Saturday for the Children's Orphan Home, was quite a success, reporting in cash for the day $329 and some cents. The women and girls who stood on the streets and canvassed homes worked faithfully all day, and they deserve untold credit for their excellent work. The board of directors of this home have been working faithfully and earnestly to take care of this home, although being handicapped to the extremes for means to keep it going and it is with much gratitude they have toward those who so willingly helped to make the sacrifice in this noble cause for unfortunate humanity. ANNUAL SERMON U. R. K. P. The annual sermon of Mid-West and Stringer U. R. K. P, was held at Mt. Zion Baptist church, Fourth and Virginia, Sunday afternoon. The Rev. Moses Williams. pastor of this church, delivered the sermon, which in his discourse brought out to the surprise and satisfaction of the organization some very valuable historical facts pertaining to its origin. The sermon was a grand one and full of the spirit. Remarks were made by the Brigadier General of Kansas, Thomas Kennedy; Col. Don Rife, commanding the Second Regiment of Missouri; Dr. S. H. Thompson, Grand Chancellor of Kansas; A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor of Missouri, and Col. Wm. Collins of Stringer Company. The Second Regiment of Missouri, with Col. Don Rife and his staff, added much to the fine appearance on the streets and many high compliments were heard as to their military maneuvers along the line of march. The two home companies, MidWest and Stringer, with Harry Forte in command of the former. and Capt. Messley in command of the latter, looked fine, as clean-out military units. The contribution given, after taking out the actual expenses, were divided equally between the church and the Children's Orphans' Home. A large number of subordinate members from the three numbers here were in line, and brought the line of march to many blocks in length. The First Regiment band of this city gave military pep to the marching units, with their snappy music. It was a big day, with a big display of soldierly uniformed Knights. Col. R. C. Houston was master of ceremonies and he was right at home in this position. DR. ADAMS HOME Rev. R. A. Adams, one of the A. M. E. church's noted evangelists, is in for a month with his family at 634 Franklin avenue. Dr. Adams is just from Kokomo, Ind., where he closed an extended summer campaign in a mammoth tent, of which was a great success among all races living in that city and the county in which it is located. It is said that more than 50 per cent of those who attended these meetings were of other races. many of them confessing Christ under the power and influence of the Gospel preached by this great evangelist. Dr. Adams will rest up at home until the first of October when he will invade the South against sin. NEGROES HONEST When Charles M. Schwab was returning from France he was on a boat carrying many Negro soldiers and learned that many of them were without money. Mr. Schwab loaned $1 each to 154 of the Negro soldiers and told them they need not pay it back unless they wanted to. He supposed very few of them would return the loan, and is agreeably surprised because 138 of the 154 soldiers have sent him a dollar, each. Mrs. Carry Miller, 920 Walker, who has been very sick, for two weeks, is improving of which her many warm friends will be pleased to know Mrs. Miller is a dear woman aid it is hoped for her recovery soon.

GALENA, KANSAS Negro President. Mr Editor Kennedy: Allow me space in your clean and newsy paper to say something about my church and good people of Galena, Kansas, in the closing up of my second year's work. We have just closed a campaign, in a presidential contest, of which the pastor of this church was a candidate, against the Rev. H. A. Thompson of the Baptist churches of Joplin, Baxter Springs and Columbus, making our public speeches on the highway, street corners and halls. Your humble servant, was able to corral 500 votes and was elected over my opponent, he only receiving 59 votes. These votes sold for 10c each, giving my church $50, with other cash money, $8.25, making the total affair $58.26. As it has been the first time for a Negro to be elected president I feel the great responsibility, but we have made good in everything, where we have been given an opportunity So nothing less is expected of my administration. Although a small membership the church is establishing her own here and expects to give a good account of herself at Kansas City. Our church and community lost one of its best members and citizens in the passing away of the young life of Mrs Evelene Gullet, August 25th, only 21 years of age, with a bright Christian future before her. She leavs a husband and a host of friends. T. E. WALKER, Pastor. ALICE WOODS, Reporter. Hear Col. Roscoe Conklin Simmons at First A. M. E. church Thursday night, Sept. 18th.

H. Oliver W. C. Queen of the West' Court No. 1, and Mrs. A. R. Merritt at the beautiful home of the latter, 913 Washington boulevard, Kansas City, Kansas. The honored guests were: Miss Jennie H.

They were then presented to Mrs. Charles Morrison who escorted them to the reception room where they were directed to the punch bowl by Mrs. Hettie A Nix. Mrs. John L. Minor presided at the punch bowl. Mrs. J. R. Rhoads, one of the best caterists on the west side, presided at the reception table. She was ably assisted by Mrs. M. E.

There was no trouble in getting here from all parts of the city for they all had their own cars. Mr. and Mrs. A. R Merritt were the guests of J. Rose of Baltimore. Md., while attending B M. C. of G. U. O. of O. F. in the year of 1910. DR. DYER LOCATES HERE. Dr. Wm. H. Dyer of Lincoln. Ill., has located here for the practice of his profession, opening up a nice suite of rooms at 1508 North Third street. While Dr. Dyer is a young practitioner his experience has been above the average, being one of the few doctors of the race selected by Uncle Sam, during the war. He served 18 months, nine months of that time was with the 92nd Division in France. Dr. Dyer is a graduate of the University of Illinois and was the only colored member of the 1916 class. The doctor is married, his wife being a Miss Bradley, who was an efficient school teacher on the Missouri side for five years. We wish for this young surgeon and physician every success in his new field, and from his seemingly make up of temperament and social disposition, he will undoubtedly make good. DR. THOMPSON RETURNS. Dr. S. H. Thompson, who attended the supreme session and encampment of the Knights of Pythias at Atlantic City, and the National Medical Association at Newark, New Jersey, the following week, returned home last Friday. The doctor also visited his sisters in Philadelphia and stopped for a few days with his mother in West Virginia on his return. It was greatly through Dr. Thompson that Kansas got the next Supreme session of Knights of Pythias in 1921, which will be held in Topeka. Misa L.

There is a fascination about gambling that unfits a boy or a man for useful service to and for his fellow man. --- It breeds envy, jealousy, need, avarice and a wheel brood of evils. Once a young man starts on the gamblers road he seldom returns. He loses sight of true values. He does not hold life dear, if he fails in attaining that for which he gambles. He cares little or nothing for authority, the happiness of mother, the comforts of father, are as nothing to him. He must have his fling. Gambling does not draw the color line, but its results create race riots. The cause of trouble is lost sight of and racial hostility prevails. Quit gambling! There are many avenues for noble effort. Work for an honest dollar. Part with an honest dollar wisely. Quit gambling! Be men. Be good citizens. Help build a god community. G. A. GREGG. THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD.

LABOR Out of chaos, out of work, I arose and did my work While the ages changed and sped I was toiling for my bread. Underneath my sturdy blows, Forests fell and cities rose, And the hard, reluctant soil Blossomed richly from my toll. Palaces and temples grand Wrought I with my cunning hand. Rich indeed was my reward— Stunted soul, and body scarred With the marks of scourge and rod. I, the tiller of the sod, From the cradle to the grave Shambled through the world—a slavel Crushed and trampled, beaten, cursed. Serving best, but served the worst, Starved and cheated, gouged and spoiled, Still I builted, still I toiled. Undernourished, underpaid In the world myself had made. Up from slavery I rise, Dreams and wonder in my eyes, After brutal ages past, Coming to my own at last. I was slave—but I am free! I was blind—but I can see! I, the builder—I, the maker, I, the calm tradition-breaker, Slave and serf and clod no longer, Know my strength—and who is stronger? I am done with ancient frauds Ancient lies and ancient gods— All the sham is overthrown, I shall take and keep my own, Unimpassioned, unafraid, Master of the World I've made!

With Military Demands Upon Ocean Shipping Relieved, World Is Able to Return to Normal White Since the advent of the latest wheat crop the only limitation upon American exports to Europe has been the shortage of shipping. Between July 1 and October 10 we shipped 65,980,305 bushels. If this rate should continue until the end of the fiscal year we will have furnished the Allies with more than 237,500,000 bushels of wheat and flour in terms of wheat. The result of increased production and conservation efforts in the United States has been that with the cessation of hostilities we are able to return to a normal wheat diet. Supplies that have accumulated in Australia, Argentine and other hitherto inaccessible markets may be tapped by ships released from transport service, and European demand for American wheat probably will not exceed our normal surplus. There is wheat enough available to have a white loaf at the common table. But last year the tale was different. Only by the greatest possible saving and sacrifice were we able to keep a steady stream of wheat and flour moving across the sea. We found ourselves at the beginning of the harvest year with an unusually short crop. Even the most optimistic statisticians figured that we had a bare surplus of 20,000,000 bushels. And yet Europe was facing the probability of a bread famine—and in Europe bread is by far the most important article in the diet. All of this surplus had left the country early in the fall. By the first of the year we had managed to ship a little more than 50,000,000 bushels by practicing the utmost economy at home-by wheatless days, wheatless meals, heavy substitution of other cereals and by sacrifice at almost every meal throughout the country. In January the late Lord Rhondda, then British Food Controller, cabled that only if we sent an additional 75,000,000 bushels before July 1 could he take the responsibility of assuring his people that they would be fed. The response of the American people was 85,000,000 bushels safely delivered overseas between January 1 and July 1. Out of a harvest which gave us only 20,000,000 bushels surplus we actually shipped 141,000,000 bushels. Thus did America fulfill her pledge that the Allied bread rations could be maintained, and already the American people are demonstrating that, with an awakened war conscience, last year's figures will be bettered. Our exports since its country entered the war have justified a statement made by the Food Administration shortly after its conception, outlining the principles and policies that would govern the solution of this country's food problems. "The whole foundation of democracy," declared the Food Administration, "files in the individual initiative of its people and their willingness to serve the interests of the nation with complete self effacement in the time of emergency. Democracy can yield to discipline, and we can solve this food problem for our own people and for the Allies in this way. To have done so will have been a greater service than our immediate objective, for we have demonstrated the rightfulness of our faith and our ability to defend ourselves without being Prussianized." Sending to Europe 141,000,000 bush-hels of wheat from a surplus of apparently nothing was the outstanding exploit of the American food army in the critical year of the war. GREATEST OPPORTUNITY WOMEN EVER HAD. It was given to the women of this country to perform the greatest service in the winning of the war vouch-safed to any women in the history of the wars of the world—to feed the warriors and the war sufferers. By the arts of peace, the practice of simple, homely virtues the womanhood of a whole nation served humanity in its profoundest struggle for peace and freedom. FIRST CALL TO FOOD ARMY. This co-operation and service I ask of all in full confidence that America will render more for flag and freedom than king, ridden people surrender at compulsion.—Herbert/ Hoover. August 10, 1917. A year ago voluntary food control was a during adventure in democracy during the year an established proof of democratic efficiency. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES A large congregation greeted Pastor Holmes at his morning service, which was devoted to allowing the members to testify for Jesus. After the offertory, he administered the Holy Sacrament to the large membership. At 2:30 p. m, over 2,000 people assembled at the church to attend the funeral of Mr. Samuel Jenkins, a devout member of the First Baptist church. The Odd Felows looked fine with their plumes and regalia as they paid their last respects to their deceased brother. Rev. W. A. Bowren preached a beautiful and true sermon on the exemplary Christian life of the deceased and the First Baptist choir sang softly and beautifully, with Prof. Reynolds our leading chorister, as their director. Every attention was given the griefstricken family, and the orde rwas perfect on the outside, at this, one of the largest of recent funerals. Pastor Holmes' and others paid truthful tribute to the deceased. At 8 p. m., the organist played a melodious voluntary on the great pipeorgan, and everyone knew by the quietness that "The Lord was in His Holy Temple." Pastor Holmes preached from Psalms 34: 13. "Keep thy tongue from evil and thy lips from speaking guile." It was a wonderful piece of advice for Christians and sinners. He said in part: "Unless the tongue is under sanctifying influences our religion is vain." "Avoid blasphemy, profaneness, falsehoods, anger and contention." "Instead of' gossiping, talk about Jesus." Mr. Hocket, Mrs. Ruffin, from Oklahoma, and others joined the church. Mr. Marshall, formerly private secretary at Camp Funston, made a god talk. Large collections were taken. Next Sunday, September 14th, special sermons and special music will be rendered. Come and join us. "Do You Know," sinners ought to accept Christ? "Do You Know," many of you Christians, who have not joined church, ought to do so at once? SAVE 16,000,000 BUSHELS OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY WAS LOST IN THRESHING Farmers, Urged by Food Administration, Provide Seven Extra Loaves of Bread for Every American. By adopting cleaner threshing methods and by literally combing harvest fields to gather grain formerly wasted, threshermen and farmers of the United States this year saved fully 10,000,000 bushels of wheat, estimated as equivalent to about seven one-pound loaves of bread for every person in the country. This result, accompanied by corresponding savings of barley, oats, rye and other grains, is shown by reports from 33 grain states to the U. S. Food Administration. Other states, although not prepared to furnish definite figures of conservation in the grain fields, report greatly reduced harvest losses. This rural food saving achievement, accomplished in scarcely six months' time, was in direct response to requests by the Food Administration, which asked farmers and threshermen to reduce harvest losses from about $3\frac{1}{4}$ per cent.-the estimated average in normal times-to the lowest possible minimum. Country grain threshing committees carried into every grain growing community the official recommendations for accomplishing the results desired. In numerous instances drivers of racks with leaky bottoms were sent from the fields to repair their equipment and frequently bad order threshing machines were stopped until the cause of waste was removed. But in proportion to the number of persons engaged in gathering the nation's grain crop, cases of compulsion were comparatively rare. The Food Administration freely attributes the success of the grain threshing campaign to patriotic service by farmers, threshermen and their crews. Incidentally grain growers of the United States are many millions of dollars "in pocket" as a result of the grain saved. NO ONE SUFFERED HERE. The marvel of our voluntary food-saving, now that we are "getting results," is that no one ever actually suffered any hardship from it; that we all are better in health and spirit and better satisfied with ourselves because of our friendly self-denial. THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD. Oklahoma City, Okla—The Church of the Living God (C. W. F.*F.) Rev. B. M. Campbell, pastor, gave place to our visiting minister, Rev. Hawkins of St.Louis, who rendered us a soul-stirring sermon; and all that was under the sound of his voice was made feel glad their hearts were lifted up. Our beloved pastor, Rev. B. M. Campbell, has tried his uttermost to please the visiting minister MenWanted I by, letting him and his beloved companion, Sister Hawkins (missionary) carry the meeting by giving it into their hands and letting them manage as they desired. We certainly had a glorious revival meeting, and we all were so glad to hearsister Hawkins and husband deliver the words of God so forecible and strong as also does our beloved pastor. I can say that there was good done in this meeting if there wasn't very many joiners for we as members of of the Church of God do know that the words of God must be fulfilled. For the words of God say straight is the way that leads to life and few there be that finds it. Sister Hawkins us some of the most noblest lectures that we ever had heard. They were beneficial too, and feel that they were taken heed of by many. We rallied on August 24, and raised quite a nice little sum of $58.00 and a few cents. We are getting along nicely in the church and we desire to have Rev. Hawkins and wife with us again in the future if they will and I m sure the pastor will have them to come back again when he deems necessary. The pastor invites any member or minister to be with him at any time while in our city. Located at corner Fourth and Nebraska streets, near fairgrounds. WILLIE HARRIS. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. Walking With Him.—The Apostles on the Emmaus Road did not recognize Jesus, who walked with them. It was god that they spoke to the stranger. But sad that they did not grasp the personality, that they did not know at the time so that hey might have enjoyed to the full the company of their distinguished visitor. But after all, how fortunate that Jesus did not reveal himself at once. All men should be treated with courtesy. All men can be helped by kindness. Heartburn. "Did not our hearts burn." One who meets a person and afterwards learns of his distinguished rank and then regrets his own conduct in his presence is not constructed aright. In a nearby state a colored brother was abusing the Indian behind his back because he was cloosed and treated as "white." A few moments later the colored brother's daughter informed him that he was wanted at once his restaurant was full of Indians. They were spending their money with him. Take care to treat everyone with due courtesy. We do not know whom we may meet just around the corner. Many an individual's future has been marred just around the corner. Wealth, station, happiness and all that we may hold dear may be changed just around the corner. Let us be thoughtfully prepared for what may occur just around the corner. The Christian life assures that kind of preparation.

Over Three Times Pre-War Shipments Required—Situation in Wheat and Fats Proves Government's Policy Sound. With the guns in Europe silenced, we have now to consider a new world food situation. But there can, be no hope that the volume of our exports can be lightened to the slightest degree with the cessation of hostilities. Millions of people liberated from the Prussian yoke, are now, depending upon us, for the food, which will keep them from starvation. With food the United States made it possible for the forces of democracy to hold out to victory. To insure democracy in the world, we must continue to live simply in order that we may supply these liberated nations of Europe with food. Hunger among a people inevitably breeds anarchy. American food must complete the work of making the world safe for democracy. Last year we sent 11,820,000 tons of food to Europe. For the present year, with only the European Allies to feed, we had originally pledged ourselves to a program that would, have increased our exports to 17,500,000 tons. Now, to feed the liberated nations, we will have to export a total of not less than 20,000,000 toas—practically the limit of loading capacity at our ports. Reviewing the world food situation, we find that some foods will be obtainable in quantities sufficient to meet all world needs under a regime of economical consumption. On the other hand, there will be marked world shortages in some important commodities. Return to Normal Bread Loaf. With the enlarged wheat crops which American, farmers have grown, and the supplies of Australia, the Argentine and other markets now accessible to shipping, there are bread grains enough to enable the nations to return to their normal wheat loaf, provided we continue to mill flour at a high percentage of extraction and maintain economy in eating and the avoidance of waste. In fats there will be a heavy shortage — about 3,000,000,000 pounds — in pork products, dairy products and vegetable oils. While there will be a shortage of about three million tons in rich protein feeds for dairy animals, there will be sufficient supplies of other feedstuffs to allow economical consumption. In the matter of beef, the world's supplies are limited to the capacity of the available refrigerating ships. The supplies of beef in Australia, the Argentine and the United States are sufficient to load these ships. There will be a shortage in the importing countries, but we cannot hope to expand exports materially for the next months in view of the bottle neck in transportation. We will have a sufficient supply of sugar to allow normal consumption in this country if the other nations retain their present short rations or increase them only slightly. For the countries of Europe, however, to increase their present rations to a material extent will necessitate our sharing a part of our own supplies with them. Twenty Million Tons of Food. Of the world total, North America will furnish more than 60 per cent. The United States; including the West Indies, will be called upon to furnish 20,000,000 tons of food of all kinds as compared with our pre-war exports of about 6,000,000 tons. While we will be able to change our program in many respects, even a casual survey of the world supplies in comparison to world demands shows conclusively that Europe will know famine unless the American people bring their home consumption down to the barest minimum that will maintain health and strength. There are conditions of famine in Europe that will be beyond our power to remedy. There are 40,000,000 people in North Russia whom there is small chance of reaching with food this winter. Their transportation is demoralized in complete anarchy, and shortly many of their ports will be frozen, even if internal transport could be realized. To Preserve Civilization. At this moment Germany has not alone sucked the food and animals from all those masses of people she has dominated and left starving, but she has left behind her a total wreckage of social institutions, and this mass of people is how confronted with absolute anarchy. If we value our own safety and the social organization of the world, if we value the preservation of civilization itself, we cannot permit growth of this cancer in the world's vitals. Famine is the mother of anarchy. From the inability of governments to secure, food for their people grows revolution and chaos. From an ability to supply their people grows stability of government, and the defeat of anarchy. Did we put it on no higher plane, than our interests in the protection of our institutions, we must begin ourselves in solution of this problem. Increase in American Hogs Will Help to Meet World Fat Shortage. Government Justified In Stimulation of Pork Production—Sevenfold Increase Over Pre War Exports. Through increased production and conservation we will be able this year to export seven times our pre-war average exports of pork products. With the heavy demands added in caring for the millions who have been freed from German oppression, the Department, of Agriculture and the Food Administration are justified to day in our every action of stimulation of hog production. In the coming year the greatest, world shortage will be in fats, and pork will help to save this situation. The efficacy, of the policy of stimulated production has built up in this country supplies which will enable us to supply a very large part of the fat deficiency of the world. In beef there must be a shortage in Europe, due largely to limited refrigerator ship capacity. All freezer ships available, however, will be filled by America, Argentine and Australia. The contribution made by the producers of this country to the war program as applying particularly to animal food products is illustrated by the following: Reports compiled by the U. S. Department of Agriculture indicate an increase in cattle of 10,238,000 head and 12,441,000 hogs. These figures were compiled to January 1 last. In this period there was a decrease in sheep of 819,000 head. The indications are that this decrease will show an increase, according to recent reports. Since January 1 unofficial information indicates an increase in hogs of not less than 8 per cent, and not more than 15 per cent, as compared with one year ago, with an increase in the average weight. Following the request of the U. S. Food Administration for an increase in hog production for marketing in the fall of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the increase may yield not less than 1,600,000,000 pounds more of pork products than were available last year. Without this increase the shipping program arranged by Mr. Hoover regarding animal food products would have been impossible. The dressed hog products during the three months ending September 30, 1917, amounted to 903,172,000 pounds, while for the corresponding months of 1918 the dressed hog products totaled 1,277,589,000, an increase of over 374,000,000 pounds for the quarter. During the same period for 1917 the records of inspected slaughter of dressed beef showed 1,263,000,000 pounds as against 1,454,000,000 pounds for the three month period ending September 1, this year.
