Hear Wm.Pickens Next Wednesday Night First A.M.E. Church TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. Hear Wm. SIXTH ANN AND FORK SIXTH ANNUAL KNIFE AND FORK BANQUET The First A. M. E. Church, at the corner of Eighth street and Nebraska avenue, has, for the past six years brought to this city some one of the biggest men of the race that the people of the two Kansas Cities and the neighboring towns might have an opportunity to see and listen to a speech out of the ordinary. This year they have secured for their principal speaker a man that has long been rated as one of the brainiest and best platform orators of the age, Dean "LOVE IS CATCHING" Great Play Presented by Seniors of Western University. By far the largest crowd that ever jammed into Ward Hall at Western University, save on Commencement occasions, was present Wednesday evening, March 17, to see the presentation of "Love Is Catching", a comedy acted by the class of '20. The play was written by Prof. Caswell W. Crews, the author of "Who's Who and Why", which was so splendidly presented last year by the Braithwaite Players, the dramatic organization of the school. Many pronounced this year's production superior to that of last year despite the fact that all were enthusiastic in praise of last year's production. Long before the curtain rose standing room was barely obtainable, students being present from both the High Schools an lboth Kansas City's turning out in unprecedented numbers. The play turned upon an interesting plot involving a rabid suffragette who was determined to annihilate men. Her own husband was not allowed in the house during the presence of company, and was thoroly henpecked. Miss Ida Brown took this role and was excellent. Moses May was decidedly good as Mr. Pinkhurse, whom Mrs. Pinkhurse did not allow to be called mister. Silva, interpreted by Miss Cassie Shannon, angered at her sweetheart, Ennis, for taking another girl to a dance, elects to be a suffragette and really deludes herself and her mother into thinking she is sincere until thru a plot of Ennis' chum, Chester, a feigned attack of illness on the part of Ennis, deluges her in tears and it all ends by her renouncing her suffrage, having learned that Sibyl, her chum, and Chester are engaged. Even Mrs. Pinkhurse "catches it", and all ends merrily. The role of Ennis was well played by Xanthanese Brown; William Simms as Chester was splendid, and Miss Alencia Jones as Sibyl charmed her audience. Miss Alberta Roberts, in search of a husband, was a scream, as was Miss Birdie Hill as Mrs. Eat-'em-Alive. The Pinkhurse baby and a number of suffragettes completed the cast. Interspersing the play were lively choruses well sung, possessed of haunting melodies. The beauty of the costumes elicited much favorable comment. In recognition of the services of Prof. Crews, the Senior class surprised him with a dinner-social of a very elaborate nature on the Friday evening following, which was a highly enjoyable affair, five courses being served. The public is invited to attend "Ritas", a comedy with music, also written by Prof. Crews, which will be presented by the Braithwaite Players in April. The date will be announced thru the columns of this newspaper. Mrs. J. H. Dickerson, 1054 Freeman avenue, who underwent an operation at the hospital, is doing nicely. President Peck of Western University and Mrs. Peck attended services at First A. M. E. Church last Sunday morning. Mrs. Williams, 2900 North Seventh street, is quite ill. Her mother, Mrs. Gentry, of Argentine, is nursing her. Mrs. Bennetta Valtz, 2906 North Allis, is much improved from her illness. Rev. James Miller, of Indianapolis, Ind., is visiting his sisterin-law, Mrs. James Boose and family. WHEAT LAND FOR SALE We have fine wheat land for sales milo, kafir corn and other crops do well. We are selling this land at the right price. Write to T. K. King, P. O. Box 16, Garden City, Kansas. VOLUME VI. Wm. Pickens, of Baltimore, Md., and the late field assitant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement for Colored People. Everything is ready for this big affair next Wednesday night, March 31st, when it is said more than 1,200 will be present to hear this great speaker and partake of the fine menu. Western University Orchestra will furnish the music. Garden City, Kansas I mentioned in my last article of organizing an International Protective League for Colored people. I feel more than glad to say that we have succeeded, through the help of God and the spirit of righteousness, in the hearts of the people, to complete our organization with fifty members. The following-named officers were elected: Wilson Carter, President; Rev. M. S. Jones, VicePresident; Chas. T. Price, Secretary; T. K. King, Treasurer; G. C. Pennington, Corresponding Secretary. After the closing of the election Rev. J. P. Henderson was called forward to install the above officers, after which he gave a very instructive lecture and everyone felt inspired to push the work forward. Mr. Willie Williams, Garden City, and Miss Mosise Thompson, of Fulton, Mo., were united in marriage February 23, 1920, by Rev T. E. Walker, at the home of the groom's mother, Mrs. C. Williams. Oh, say, man, the dinner I had set before me at this home I haven't words to express how I enjoyed it! People are locating in our city very fast. Mrs. Smith and family of Boley, Oklawa, have moved to the city to make their future home. On last Sunday four of the family united with our church. Rev. A. Hill, of Dodge City, since uniting in marriage with Mrs. Moses Berry of this city, is going to make Garden City his future home. He is also entering into business. We wish him great success. On last Sunday night Rev. Hill preached a wonderful sermon and will also preach for us on March 21. Each service many hearts were made to rejoice while he talked to us by the way. Mr. Stairretts and family have also moved to our city, and have purchased a half-section of land east of the city. Mr. and Mrs. Cousin have purchased a quarter section of land five miles east of the city and are now building a three-room house on the place. They have a fine well of water, one hundred and twenty-five feet deep. Mrs. Ernest Roberts of Coffeyville, Kansas, who came to this city on October 10, last, for her health, has been greatly benefited and is about restored to the normal health. She expects to return home some time in June and move to this city to make her future home. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts have been great benefactors to our church since they have been in the city. They have taken an active part, have these two individuals. They have made friends among both colored and white. Mr. Roberts, on the first of April will begin working at the High School, which will bring to him a few cents less than $100 per month. Our God has promised to reward the righteous and punish the wicked and open doors for those who trust Him. Our membership when I arrived numbered 18; now we are numbering 42. We ask the readers of this paper to pray for our success in this part of the vineyard. Last, but not least, the above-named organization is behind Dr. J. R. Ransom for the bishoprick. I want to say that it is time that we as brethren look well for the future. I believe in giving flowers to someone when they can see them and enjoy them. Dr. Ransom has been one of the great leaders in the Kansas Conference and also has stood by our schools and has helped to make them what they are today. Let the delegation from the 5th Episcopal district remember the bridge that carried them over and give honor to whom honor is due. I shall not take any more space in your precious paper. I will remain yours in Christ and for the uplift of suffering humanity, REV. T. F. WALKER SIXTH ANNUAL KNIFE AND FORK BANQUET FIRST A. M. E.

KENNEDY, PUBLISHER. First A.M. NEGRO LEADER HERE MA (By William Pickens). Now and then somebody pays an indirect and unintended compliment to the growing power and group consciousness of colored Americans. Recently the enemies of the Negro race have "paid attention" to the Negro press. They have even "cussed" out the colored papers in Congress and wanted to legislate them out of existence in that Graham Bill. That is the greatest recommendation ever given the Negro press. When they meant nothing and stood for nothing and had no sort of backbone about anything, nobody worried about them. Some people smiled patronizingly at their platitudes. When one got a little bolder than the rest, they killed it, as they did The voice of the Negro in Atlanta, Ga. But now the Negro press as a whole has risen to a tone and pitch that commands the ear of the ENEMIES of the Race. But the greatest compliment ever paid the growing consciousness of the race, is the fact that the enemy is now beginning to worry over the kind of LEADERS which the Negro race is appointing for itself. It need not be asserted and cannot be denied, that in the South the white people have generally "appointed" such Negro leaders as they saw fit. They did it indirectly; they would only listen to such and such a "level-headed" Negro—and when colored people wanted to confer with white people, this Negro must be the medium through which however the Colored CITIZENS' FORUM The Forum had another very interesting meeting Sunday, March 21, at Metropolitan Temple. President G. Booker presided. After the invocation and quotations, Mr. C. S. Matthews' and some others gave current events, and a female quartet from Stowe school sang. The principal feature of the program was the address by Rev. James Small, of the Hyde Park Christian church of Kansas City, Mo. He was a chaplain in France with the colored and white troops. He told many reminiscences of their bravery and sorrow. Said, "Color of skin makes no difference in a man." Christianity is the main thing, he impressed upon the audience. He told an anecdote of how, when commanding in the absence of the captain, he marched the soldiers, Presbyterians, Methodists and all into the river to be baptized. He gave good advice to our race, and received prolonged applause. The violin solo, by Master Edward Thompkins, was beautiful and well rendered. He is a young virtuoso in this musical art. The tenor solo by Mr. Joseph Holloway was fine. He has a beautiful voice, which is under good control. His solo and violin solo would have been recalled had it not been so late. The program was in the main a classical one. Attorney Wm. Towers read the critique and spoke of resigning. After the offerty, Chaplain Napper pronounced the benediction. Come out Sunday March 28 and hear an instruvtice program. Don't miss it, as a few missed this Sunday. The writer is told that Miss Mickey and Prof. Buster had charge of the above program. And some other executive committee will have a fine one next Sunday. IRELAND'S PARTY. The St. Patrick's party program was said by critics to be instructive and fine. Mrs. J. T. Roberts, in costume as Ireland, and Mrs. Monroe in Scottish costume, were worth a 50-cent fee. Miss L. Harlan as Liberia, and Mrs. M. C. Matthews as an Afro-American from U. S. A. were instructive in their talks. The latters poem was interpreted by these ountries, and Miss Summer's reading and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Shackelford's appropriate address made all say it was one of his finest programs given this year. The Sewing Circle was pleased with their receipts. Mrs. A. Allsbrook rendered classic music. Mrs. Dora L. Porter sang a beautiful and inspiring solo, last Sunday at the church services at Rev. Everett's church in Argentine. The title, "I Am Saved." It was greatly enjoyed. Mrs. D. A. Holmes was reported somewhat indisposed Sunday. We are informed that Mrs. Curry has been sick again this week. R. NUMBER 34. E. Church ER TO SPEAK ARCH 31 people might despise and distrust this very Negro. And, behold the other day a white Congressman shouted out words to the effect that white people had better begin to pay more attention to the leaders which they ordain for the Negro, lest the leaders which the Negro is appointing for himself get the better of the matter. He points out in plain words that the superimposed leaders are beginning to be discarded by the colored race, and asks that the white people who want "their Negroes' to stay on the job, had better begin to give extra attention to them and help to build them up in the request of colored people. The Congressman's idea is the old one; that whenever these favored leaders ask for anything "for the race", the white must seem to give ear to it and to hear it favorably—so that the race will fall in line behind these usable leaders. To be brief and to the ponit, it is just like bear hunting; we set a trap and leave a piece of beef for the bear—BUT in order that we might eat the whole bear later. It is up to the Negro race to open its eyes and consider in all such cases whether it wants a temporary or a permanent advantage. It is a plain issue. Mr. Pickens will speak at the Knife and Fork banquet at First A. M. E. church next Wednesday night. NATIONAL CAPITAL CODE OF ETIQUETTE AND SHROT STORIES FOR COLORED PEOPLE A new book, rare and unusual—something entirely different, will soon be placed on the market. The publishers, Austin Jenkins Company, Washington, D. C., will present "The National Capital Code of Etiquette", by Edward S. Green, appropriately illustrated by exceedingly lifelike pictures of Washington's colored society people in their beautiful homes, strolling through the parks, at the theater, etc., etc., pictures that will appeal to every colored man and woman in America.

Floyd of Augusta, Georgia; Stories of Adventure, stories of success, stories that will make you laugh and others that will bring tears to your eyes, but all of them intensely interesting.

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs, and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting, too; If you can wait, and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies; Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise.

The people enjoyed the first day of spring so bountifully they remembered that God was the source of all this sunshine and warmth that had been stored away for months just for them. And hundreds found themselves on their way to the house of God, who had forsaken it for days and months. First A. M. E. was one church where hundreds found their way into its pews with new vows. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, filled his pulpit for the first time for several weeks, and a great congregation greeted him with their presence. His sermon was of that usual spiritual power. At the evening service a large audience was out to hear the pastor speak on his Pacific coast trip, which the church gave him a few weeks ago. It was very interesting and will be continued. The banquet is next Wednesday evening, when one of the largest crowds will be present in the history of this great annual affair. Prof. J. P. King will act as master of ceremonies, and Prof. G. A. Gregg will introduce the speaker. Mrs. Mattie Childers, an old member of the church, died at her home on Oakland avenue, Sunday night, and was buried Thursday afternoon from the church. She was sick less than a week, having pneumonia. Her relatives have the sympathy of the church and community. First A. M. E. church will look for you Sunday as usual. Visitors and friends always have a warm welcome. Among those who joined the church Sunday was Milton Collins, whose father was a minister for years in this western country and his sainted mother who passed to the beyond, with her husband just a short time ago. Rev. T. J. Young, 1958 North Sixth street, the pastor of the Church of God on Oakland avenue, has erected a fine and commodious church.

Garnier's Properly Fitted GLASSES Prices Reasonable The Garnier Jewelry 618 Minn. Ave. CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD (C. W. F. F.), 337 Oakland Ave. REV. J. A. COOK, Pastor. The Lord spared us all a beautiful sunshine day on last Sunday, March 21, and all churches were crowded with their members and visitors to hear preaching, I suppose, in Kansas City. At the Church of God last Sunday, between Third and Fourth street, on Oakland avenue, the Sunday school was excellent, and their scholars are very bright in the Bible. After the school was over the pastor began his morning service at 11:15. While the short prayer meeting was in session just before the pastor began to preach Mr. Geo. McClelland. of the First A. M. E. church, at Eighth street and Nebraska avenue, approached Rev. Cook and explained to him the Sixth Annual Knife and Fork banquet, to be given at the above place March 31, 1920. So the pastor explained it all to his congregation, morning and night. The pastor said he would be glad to have Mr. McClelland out at the divine service some time; not only him, but all are welcome. Rev. Cook preached a grand sermon. Quite a few visitors were out to hear his sermon. Oh, yes, Dear One, Bro. Arch, who is president of the Bible Band, would be glal to have any one come out and take part in the good work that he is carrying on there every Sunday evening at 6 p. m. The lesson for next Sunday, March 28, will be St. John 6th chapter. All are welcome to this Bible Band, of all denominations. After the lesson was over Sister Annie Arch had a nice paper prepared on "Unity", and it was excellent. On next Sunday Deacon McLaurance will make a speech and Sister Miller will produce an excellent duet or solo. Come and hear this and be with us. Last Sunday night Rev. Cook introduced to the audience Rev. P. C. Roe, a Baptist minister. Rev. Roe took for his text "Jonah". The Revcrend preached a fine sermon and everybody enjoyed it to the highest. If all ministrs had an open heart like Rev. Roe it wouldn't be longbefore divisions would cease and all be in Unity and in Love. The Church of God will be glad to have that brother back with us again at any time, and any other preaching brother. All are welcome. If you don't believe you are welcome. Come and see—Then you will know for yourself. Rev. E. R. B. Quinn, a noble divine, followed Rev. Roe, and he sure preached an excellent sermon. May the Lord bless both those preaching brothers. The pastor extended an invitation to the unbelievers—one sister came forth. She was given the right hand of fellowship. Next Sunday afternoon at 1:40 the Ministers and Deacons' Union will meet in the 2900 block on North 6th street. Come and be with us if you can. Sister Josephine Brockman, who is sick at 1216 Independence avenue, is improving some, and said she would be glad for all her friends and members to call to see her some time. Friends and visitors and members, don't forget to read St. Matt. 7-12, please. All are welcome to be with us at 337 Oakland avenue, at the Church of the Living God.

In witness whereof, the undersigned, Probate Judge in and for the County of Wyandotte, State of Kansas, have hereunto set my hand, and affixed the seal of the said Probate Court, this 15th day of March A. D. 1920. JOHN SIMS. (SEAL) Probate Judge. (First published March 19, 1920) Every well regulated private business has some manner of a budget. Income can not make prosperity unless outgo is kept under control. The budget is a system for the allotment of expenditures. In common sense it can not aggregate a total above total revenue, and it enables the executives to make sure at least that both ends shall meet. The going business house that does not have an item for surplus, or saving, in its budget, is on a mad-house basis. Before H. When I was going money was limited, take my best girl twice a week. O were about to star girl, not wanting to alone, asked her thought I said, "S with us; I've only can borrow a di- less to say, she de- As an instrument of home economy the budget is most useful. Any level-headed housekeeper can transform a small deficit into a steady saving by employing a budget. It puts a brake on expenditure, discloses leaks and excesses, and in general furnishes the opportunity to keep the business of home-running always in hand. What did you spend last month for this? Too much! Cut it down. What did you spend for that? A little more, might be worth while. Something new tries to get into the budget. If you need it, perhaps you can shave elsewhere. If you merely want it, use common sense. You know whether or not you can afford it. The budget tells you. If you have never worked out a household budget, do it now. One year hence you will wonder how you ever got on without it. Favorite Sites for "Paper Towns" Along Great Lakes Were at Mouths of Rivers Sites of lake cities "located" in the days of wild speculation, before the panic of 1837, were scattered here and there along the shore of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. Promoters, encouraged by the sale of lots, would spend a little money in making a small clearing, often many miles from the nearest actual settler, would mark out some streets and put up, in the midst of burned stumps, a hotel and a bank. Favorite sites for "paper towns," according to John Bach McMaster's "History of the People of the United States," were at the mouths of small streams. The buildings of one such town, Port Sheldon, were of large frame construction and well finished without, but the bank was empty and the hotel tenantless. Port of Havre was another such "paper town" on Lake Erie, near the mouth of Mammie Bay. But the site chosen was low and marshy, and a score of abandoned cabins were all that marked its streets. Another was "White Rock City." believed to be on the shore of Lake Huron, at the mouth of a fine river. The maps represented a flourishing city on a wide river, with piers running out into a harbor, but one, coasting on a trip along Lake Huton who stopped to see this city, found none.

Before He Thought When I was going to high school my money was limited, but I managed to take my best girl to a play once or twice a week. One evening as we were about to start for the movie, my girl, not wanting to leave her mother alone, asked her to go. Before I thought I said, "Surely, Mrs. — — go with us; I've only got 20 cents, but I can borrow a dime uptown." Needless to say, she declined the invitation, and I felt like the 20 cents in my pocket.—Chicago, Tribune.
