Good Pictures and Good Music at The New Dunbar Theatre, 1614 North Tenth Street. The average taxpayer never knows what his neighbor in the next state pays for his tares. He is unaware of the fact that the tax rate in counties in the same state vary and so for the convenience of the taxpaying public, Wm. G. Bird, county assessor of Wyandotte county, has compiled the following tabulation, so the public may see the standing of this county with other counties in the state of Kansas, as well as similarly populated counties throughout the Middle West. The county clerk compiles and tabulates this rate after the city, state, school board and county furnish his with their budgets. The rate varies and with the rapid increase in the cost of materials and labor the rate in Wyandotte county has increased correspondingly. This rate with the rates of these various counties have been tabulated so the public may see how the county compares with other counties as furnished below. In the states of Michigan, Texas, Iowa, Ohio and Kansas the city rate carries its proportion of state, county and school tax; for example: Kansas City, Kansas, taxpayers pay $2.47 on every $100.00 of real or personal property they own; so do the taxpayers in the other cities named in these states. In Nebraska, Minensota, Tennessee, Colorado and Missouri the county and city rates are two different and separate taxes assessed and collected at different periods, by county assessors and collectors and city assessors and treasurers and collectors; for example: St. Joseph, Mo., taxpayers pay county tax of $2.20 per $100.00 valuation in addition to their city tax of $1.25 per $100.00 valuation, making their total tax $3.45. In Kansas City, Mo., the county rate is $209, and the city rate is $1.45, and the total rate per $100.00 valuations in Kansas City, Mo., would be $3.54, so does the taxpayers in the other cities in the states named below: STATE—COUNTY Avg.

M. Townsend of Arkansas is in earnest about some few things he said to me, and I don't blame him. He is in line for election, and many of his people declare that he shall return home with the Church Extension bacon, and we are just going to watch developments. You know that the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias met in Atlantic City last August, and they had a great time there. I met Editor Kennedy there myself, and he treated me to a glass of root beer which was all-foam and not much beer, but it went down into my eternity just the same, and I got on the outside of foam. It was sweet foam. Grand Chancellor Thompson was there, and he was a man among men, and one of the strongest in the Supreme Lodge. I am sure that the people of Kansas are proud of him. I am glad that he is at the head of the order. Great things are planned for the Grand Lodge of Kansas this year, and committees will be appointed looking forward to the Supreme lodge next year. It is not going to take it long to roll around. The musicians of Kansas City, Kansas, have met, and elected the poet, Tilford Davis, president, and he is a deserving young man. I think you would call him a young man, for he is not killed with age. He is just the man that can be reached, and with a heart to do things for his fellow being. He totes the mail in Kansas City and I am told is a good one. His son is following in his foosteps. Long may both of them live. The Calanthe Courts are doing well under the leadership of Mrs. Norene Davis. I am not going to have much to say about it just now, but later, I am going to write about the lodges and courts. I will let you know about it. Lincoln Institute is in better condition than it has been for years. It is a greater Lincoln, and it is due to the fact that they have a real man for president, and I want to congratulate Missouri on being able to secure President Clement·Richardson.

TURNS OVER A NEW PAGE IN HIS BOOK OF LIFE There are 80 Men Who Want to Be Bishops of A.M.E. Church CHICAGO, Ill.—As I take my pen in hand and my ink and paper on the table and sit down to write to you, I am looking on a new page of my book, and only here and there can I see a thought, for what this old world is going to have me write down, I am not prophet enough to tell, but we have just passed through a year, the like of which has never been seen, and perhaps never will again. At one time it looked to me like this whole country was just over a powder keg and only needed a lighted match for an explosion, to drop here and there some new passenger into eternity. Will you stop and take an inventory of your stock and see what the year has meant to you, and how much you have gotten out of it and how much you have contributed to you. Have you made anyone happy? What have you done for humanity? Has the Lord prospered you? If so what have you given in return? Have you done anything for a brother in need? Then did you publish it from the housetops, "I have contributed to some one and want the world to take notice: I gave 25 cents to a man in need?" Some even want it to go down about giving 5 cents, or any other cents. But the year has been here and gone, and we are now in the new year. Some people are going to meet with disappointments, and some of us are going to leave this world during the year. I don't know who it will be, but it is sure to happen. Man is born to die, and then after his death he is to live on and on forever, and the kind of living he is to do in the other world is to be determined by his life here, about the steps he takes for his soul. I wish I had the time to write all that there is in my mind, but since I have not, let us hope and pray that man will get what he is looking for, but it is utterly impossible. I am sure that it is. There are about 80 men wanting to be elected bishop in the A. M. E. church, and a number in the A. M. E. Zion church, and they cannot all be elected, and God don't want some of them, but some will be elected, because they are wanted. Next May will deter mine who are to be selected and those who are to be left at home. I want to congratulate all who were fortunate enough to be elected. Those who were not elected are in the position that some will be when they are not elected in May at the General conference. I want to express thanks to Dr. J. C. Caldwell, for the many nice thinbs he has said to me in a letter, for it is just like him to do these things, and he is a friend to the old men as well as to the young people, and the, world will know that he has been this way. He will make a mark something like that of Bishop Alexander Payne, the great apostle of, education. He deserves all that may come to him. I had expected to have been in Wichita, Kansas, this week, but could not make it. I am sorry beyond expression that a big man, who is looking forward to landing in the episcopacy disappointed me, for men of that type should be reliable, and when they say a thing let the world know it is going to be, because they said it, but I am not going to talk about him.

Covers were laid for twentv-one. Some of those present were: Mrs. Kemp, the honored guest; Mr. and Mrs. Martin, Mr. and Mrs. Harman and daughter; Mr. and Mrs. T. H.

Mr. and Mrs. Graves showed themselves to be ideal entertainers. SUMNER NIGHT SCHOOL LEADS. When the monthly report was made for all the night schools in the city, a few days ago, Sumner lead all in the city in the average of attend ance. This ought to make every student enrolled feel good and each should work the harder for the balance of the school year, to hold the present honored place among our night school of the city. Principal King is anxious and working hard to increase the enrollment to one thousand. MRS. McRANDLES ENTERTAINS The beautiful new home of Mrs. McRandles, 436 Washington boulevard, was the attraction of an open house on New Year's, for the Present and Past Mantzons Council of the two cities, from 2:30 p. m., to 9:30 p. m. The house was tastefully decorated. There were about one hundred and fifty called during the afternoon and evening, including other friends. Mrs. U. S. Rogers is president of the Council-Mrs. Marr-Hultz, vice president; Mrs. A. Pleasant, secretary. Ice cream, cake and punch were served. THE TWO BILLIES. Billy King at the Auditorium has more than pleased his audience. His first appearance was the cue for a multitude of applause and screams of laughter, and again when he made his appearance with our old friend Billy Higgins there was fully ten minutes of applause and more good solid laughing, and so it went on through the entire show which ran fully two and one-half hours, it being without a doubt the best show ever witnessed by the theatre going public, and there is no mistaking, that the two comedians, Messrs. King and Higgins, are a credit to the Colored race, as they are second to none. Among others that go to making it enjoyable and laughable are the following: The Misses Gertrude Saunders, Theresa Brooks, Laura Hall, Ollie Borgoyne and Ida Forsyne; the Messrs. Whitman, Stevens, Rodgers, Burton, Read and Slater comes in for rounds of applause. Then there is a very realistic battle scene between a Zeppelin, submarine and a U. S. battleship. Those who have, not as yet seen "Over the Top," should not fail to see it. The show will be on Sunday night for the last time, as next week Mr. King will show for your approval another musical comedy which he said will, he hopes, please the public as well if not better than "Over the Top." Do not overlook Dishy. NUMBER 23. TRUCK HIT BY TWO TRAINS; 1 KILLED AND 1 INJURED Henry King, 51, Victim of Grade Crossing Accident.

E. church, by ex-Congressman G. W. Murray of South Carolina, on "Power of Impression," was something new to the people of today, and new lines of thought. While one can get much out of it only hearing him once; but it's a thought that ordinary thinkers should hear argued several times to get the real impression of its vital substance. It was a master bit of human logic and it has a master mind in Mr. Murray in presenting its fundamental principles. There is no room for any logical contradiction produced by this scholarly thinker. Pittsburg, Kansas The year of 1919 has skipped into eternity. But we are thankful to God for having spared our lives to watch the old year out and the new year in. The pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church preached an excellent sermon Christmas morning on the birth of Christ. All went away well pleased with the service. The Stewards gave the pastor and wife a fine turkey for Christmas and a few dollars. They received quite a number of very fine presents; some from Charlotte, North Carolina, St. Louis, Mo.; New Bedford, Mass., and Kansas City, Mo.; also from their many friends in this city, for all love them. Watch meeting night was a great night with the members of the A. M. E. church. The pastor preached from these words, "Let me alone." Oh, it was grand and 10 minutes to 12 o'clock we were all on our knees praving to God. So we greeted 1920 with prayer. And again we give our pastor and wife a New Year's gift. The members are well pleased with them. So we have started out to do more for God and His church. We wished this church could come into the new year clear of debt. Thank God for our leader, Rev. T. A. Wilson. The members of Class No. 2 the ladies' class, of which Mrs. E. N. Wilson is teacher, says she is the finest they have ever had—a wonderful Bible instructor. The school is growing in interest every week. Miss V. M. Jackson is assistant superintendent. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH J. F.

CHURCH NEWS While the sun brightly shone, yet the air was brisk and bracing Sun day morning, but the members, friends and visitors came until old First church was filled to the doors in the lower auditorium, and many of its old regular members and scores of its friends, had to be sat isfed in the second auditorium. Dr. Griffin filled his pulpit and his sermon drew on the minds of his vast audience so quietly and intensively, with its power, that when he closed, the very walls of the church seemed to cry out hallelujah And when he sang as he only can, one of the old fashioned hymns, the entire congregation were moving in their pews. Then Miss Tillie Moss, with her sweet contralto voice, accompanied by Mrs. Summers, on the pipe or gan, sang a solo that enraptured the souls of the weeping audience and when the call was made by the pastor to join the church, eleven came forward at once. It was a great time in old First Church on the first Sabbath of the New Year. There were three baptized by sprinkling. After which the Lord's Supper was administered to the largest number that has been seen in this church for many years. The choir rendered beautiful anthems and Gospel songs at both morning and evening. Rev. Taylor, one of the church's local preachers, delivered the mes sage at the evening service to a good audience, which was received with joy. The Sunday school had a good attendance in the morning and the lesson was of much interest to the scholars present. Many strangers and visitors were present at both of the preaching services and were made to feel that real Christians abided in this church. Let First Church be one with a smile. Come again: you are welcome. Rev. Reed, who has been in the hospital, was removed to his home this week. The Advocate one year, $1.25. Good for January only.

Rubin’s Armourdale Department store, situated within three blocks of a police station, was entered and robbed of several thonsand dollars’ worth of goods last Friday night. The police admit there are no offi- cers walking beats in the vicinity of Osage and Packard. The thief gained admittance by breaking the lock on the front door facing Osage avenue, Indications are that the culprits were familiar with the surroundings as they took their time and_ picked the best in the store. Their haul consisted of silk shirts, waists and numerous other articles. It will be a rard matter to determine te arlount of the loss until an in- ventory is taken.

A ‘large congregation listened to the promises and several joined the church. AX 8 p. m., Pastor Holmes preach- ed a very appropriate New Year sermon from the 37th Psalm 1-6. Theme, “Confide in Go dand imitate His benevolence. Trust in the Lord and do good.” It was a wonderful sermon and given at the right time. This church has planned greater work for next year, They have add- ed more to their Deacon Board, have re-elected some of the old officers, among them Mrs. Mimms, financial secretary; Mrs. I. M. Thomas, re- cording. secretary and have asked Mrs. M. C. Matthews to be a secre- tary also, but as Pastor Holmes has reappointed her publicity committee and she is asked to do‘so much oth- er writing it would work her pretty hard. Mrs. Fowler is over the choir; Mrs. A. Younger, assistant recording secrdtary; Mrs. Lk Esk- tidge over B. Y. P. U.; Mrs. I. V. Brown, secretary and the Sewing Circle has not elected yet. They will raise money not so much by ‘rallies, as this church does better in ordinary collections and gives more ‘to the sick than any church in town. Mrs, Z. Nelson is superintendent of |Sunday school. The sacrament was ‘one long to be remembered; again ‘some joined church and a very large collection was taken. Come out ‘Sunday, January 11th, and work for the Master. All are welcome. ‘We truly have many true disciples samong us, but gs in all bodies, the wheat and tares must grow together ‘and God will. separate them.

After quota- tions and the usual preliminaries, Judge Bradley, the delegate to ‘the Inter-State Literary society at Wichita, was asked to make a re- ‘nort, He renorted having a nice time and said the meeting was har- monious and well governed. Mrs. W. Dwiggins, now ex-presidert of the Inter-State, reported an enjoya- ble time and praised the paper read by Judge Bradley at Wichita, which caus~d a request for it to be read at the Forum. The Judge quoted much Bible and gave Christ great praise for his meekness in pre*ching to the voor, also for His sermon on the Mount. He also spoke of other great men, among them John the Baptist, Paul, Moses and Abraham Lincoln. Prof, A. J. Neely asked him ques- tions. Attorney Wm, Towers said, “He agreed with the paper in some things and in same he did not.” He said, “He thought the judge was sonewat like the Sesiolists in his views.” Rev. D. A, Holmes did not agree with all in the poper. and wished he had time to reply to the eontury. muss Jewel washington received the greatest applause of any on the program. She was en- cofed.

On New Year's night quite a few of the Saints assembled themselves together to sing and praise God and see the old year go out and the new year come forth. After about eight ministers and missionaries preached, an invitation was extended for some one to unite on the Word. Three individuals walked out on God's word. On last Sunday, January 4, the Sunday school was called to order at the usual time and a wonderful lesson was recited. All are welcome to attend our Sunday school. At 11 a.m., the cabinet of evangelists of Kansas preached a beautiful sermon and said many good things. The Bible Band is called to order every Sunday evening at 6 p. m. Come out and take part in the lesson. The lesson will be found for next Sunday, January 11, Luke 24th chapter. On account of last Sunday being the first Sunday in this year the cabinet of Kansas called a Covenant meeting Sunday night and many brothers and sisters testified. We had a lovely time. Rev. Stuckey made some good remarks. Rev. Farr and wife, who have been attending the divine services regularly, but who have not been in the brotherhood, came forward Sunday night and united with the brotherhood and had their names enrolled although they joined the Church of God about 20. years ago. Don't forget that you are cordially invited to be with us. The church will have a baptizing in short. It will be announced later. Sinners—Do you know that God does not hear sinners pray?
