KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. AMERICAN FEDERATION OF MUSICIANS This is the biggest convention the American Federation of Musicians has ever had. More than 300 delegates present, 13 of them are colored. Colored delegates from Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, St. Louis, Columbus, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland and Kansas City. This city is dominated by the "malefactors of great wealth" and the William Penn hotel, where the sessions are held, on the seventeenth floor, has had recent labor troubles. This, in conjunction with the rank race prejudice so far east and north not only surprised me and shattered my preconceived notions, but resulted in the hotel management instructing the elevator employees to allow colored delegates to ride only the service elevator. This we refused to do. The opening session was delayed nearly an hour, while President Weber, Vice-President W. L. Mayer and the chairman of the local committee tried to prevail on the management to rescind its order. Finally the mayor, a stockholder in the hotel, came to the rescue, and by their combined efforts we were enabled to reach the session. Just as the session was about to adjourn, I claimed and received recognition, called the attention of the convention to the existing conditions and stated that unless arrangements could be made enabling the colored delegates to go and come without humiliation, we would all return to our several homes. The president explained the animus of the affair, gave the details of the magnificent fight made on our behalf, and called upon the convention to back him up in a further fight for complete and ample justice. Delegate Bagley, of Los Angeles, moved that the president and national executive board he authorized to exhaust every available means to bring about a satisfactory adjustment, employing the best legal talent, if necessary, to secure a restraining order. It was adopted unanimously, and the firm stand taken brought the hotel management to time. Sunday the entire day was spent in an auto tour over a scheduled route covering nearly 100 miles with dinner—oh, boy!—at the Syrian Mosque. Wednesday night, the convention attended a special performance at the Nixon theatre, and Thursday night a smoker in the basement and a ball on an upper floor of the Montefiore Auditorium, were staged in honor of the colored delegation. Pittsburgh is well named the "Smoky City," but the atmosphere, for us, cleared wonderfully since the first session of the convention. TILFORD DAVIS, JR. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR Presidents of Christian Endeavors and Pastors; Please send me the name of your delegate to the State Convention of the Allen Christian Endeavor League to meet in Lawrence, Kansas, July between the 4th and 10th.

"As one pushes through the fringe of undergrowth which skirts the forest and seats himself, at daybreak, on a stump or a fallen tree to watch and listen, the woods become instinct with life," says Arthur F. Rice in Boys' Life. "The blue Jay sounds his trumpet call, the crows hold noisy consultation over their plans for the day and a ruffled grouse whips the twigs of the pine with her wing as she leaves her roost. The chipmunks scurry about from stump to stump, now rushing precipitately to cover, now coming forth again to take a critical view of the intruder. Their larger cousins, the red squirrels, come out from the hemlocks and, perching on a dead branch, rattle out a challenge to all comers. At last comes the sound for which you have been waiting and which makes the heart beat faster. It is a thrashing among the boughs of the hollow maple nearby, telling you that the gray squirrel is out after his breakfast. "Away he goes toward some big oak or hickory, scattering a shower of dew from the leaves as he jumps from limb to limb, revealing his course by the springing branches he leaves behind him. If his suspicions are aroused by anything he sees or hears, he stops, cocks himself up on a limb or plasters himself against a tree trunk and harks disapprovingly, accenting each syllable with a jerk of his broad tail. Of all the sounds in nature, there are few which thrill me like the bark of the gray squirrel."

The Sunday school is improving and is doing nicely. Quite a few scholars are attending. At 11:15 Rev. Brazier preached a very fine sermon and he said many good things. Afterward the service was over another baptizing took place at Eleventh and Washington boulevard about 2:30. The baptizing was conducted by Rev. J. P. F. Stuckey, the cabinet evangelist of Kansas. The Minister and Deacons' Union was convened last Sunday evening at 2:30. A good topic was discussed. The union will meet again next Sunday at 2:30 p. m. on north Sixth, 2940. The subject will be as follows: What was in the cup at the Lord's Supper, according to Scripture proof, was it wine, water or grape juice? All ar welcome to be present. The night sermons were preached by Elder Farr and Elder J. P. F. Stuckey. Both spoke well and many good things were suit. A nice collection was lifted for the church and a good donation for Sister Brockman also. Sister Day is improving some now. But she has been awful sick. She is at 1216 Inde, endence avenue, Kansas City, Mo. Sister Mary Thomas, who has been on the sick list for two weeks or more, is now up and attending divine service. Sister Annie E.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Last Sunday, May 9, 1920, Dr. Prince addressed the Sunday school and many acknowledged a belief in Jesus Christ. At 11 a. m., Dr. Prince delivered a deep sermon to a large congregation on "Faith," using Abraham, Moses, Daniel and the three Hebrews in the fiery furnace as illustrations. This was his eighth sermon and while all were different spiritual, and beautiful, they all hinged on the greatest thing that sinners can do, that is to believe, then have faith to confess Christ. At 6:30 p. m., he addressed the B. Y. P. U. At 8 p. m., this great apostle preached another sermon on "How Careful Christians Ought to Live." At these Evangelist meetings, many praise God by weeping and shouting. Several joined church on Sunday and some were new converts. The sermons every night were fine and the Christians just feasted off of God's word and sinners said it was so plain they could not deny the great trutins. Monday night four were converted and a back slider reclaimed. Thursday night was Children's night. The ordinary collection on Sunday was over $145 and over $16 was given to Mr. Bettle Gaines for her sick son. Many were glad to see Dr. George McNeal present helping one evening. He is the first of the older Baptist ministers to come out to help. The Young Ministers' Alliance has attended nicely: Rev. Garrison, Rev. Davis and Rev. A. Royston. Next Sunday, May 23, Dr. Prince will preach another of his messages direct from God, at 11 a. m. Come hear this God-sent man, who can certainly preach. At 1 p.m. Pastor Holmes will baptize over 16 candidates (if they all come) in the glass baptistry; come witness the beautiful sight. There are also over 20 accessions to the church in the first week. By Monday evening, May 24, Dr. L. K. Williams, called the greatest preacher in the world, will come from Chicago and preach all the week to May 31st. Tell everybody to come, as the multitude who knows him knows that he can preach so that God will surely move on his throne and cause more men to accept Christ. Members of all churches are invited and sinners are asked as especial guests. Dr. Prince praised the choir and has yb his close walk with God greatly helped our church and the community. Come to church this Friday night, Sunday morning and night, Monday, May 24, and all week. NUMBER 42. Rev. J. A.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. HUMOR AND FACT When a man is really in love he imagines that he neither eats nor sleeps. The self-made man is often the only one who is satisfied with the job. Many a girl is wearing a solitaire diamond because she bought and paid for it. Perhaps a pretty girl is called a "peach" because she has a heart of stone. How disappointed the average man must feel every time he looks into a mirror. The Almighty evidently didn't have much to do when he created some people. Don't wait for your ship to come in, boy; charter a tug and go out to meet it. The mantle of charity protects a multitude of amateur theatrical performances. Usually the hand that rocks the cradle can't hit the side of a barn with a brick. A goat's head is sufficient proof that a striking countenance doesn't always indicate brains. Many a woman who doubts her husband's veracity believes every word in a patent medicine almanac. Prosperity has lifted many a man up for the purpose of dropping him into the deep waters of oblivion. Unless a woman is capable of earning $10 a day she has no business marrying a man to reform him. Probably more women would take out life insurance policies if they didn't have to state their real ages. His Thoughts Far Away. One of Dixon's greatest fallings is his absent-mindedness. The other morning he came out of his house, walked to the edge of the sidewalk, and suddenly threw his right leg into the air with a vaulting movement. Of course, he fell sprawling to the ground. "Halloa, Dixon! What are you doing?" cried a neighbor, who rushed to help him. Dixon rose to his feet, and brushed the dust from his clothing. "Oh, nothing," he muttered sheepishly. "Only thought I was mounting my bicycle! I forgot I hadn't the beastly thing with me."—London Tit-Bits She Read the Papers. "Conductor," said the nervous old lady, "I wish you would ask that man with the gun to leave it outside. It might go off and kill someone." "What! Not loaded! Then stop the car instantly and let me out. I read every day of persons meeting their death from weapons that weren't loaded;" and she nearly fell off in her haste to leave the car.—Boston Transcript.

It has a delightful odor; quickly cures dandruff and itching scalp; and keeps your hair soft and Evidence Indicates Indian Late Comer, Compared With Residents During Ice Age Several scientific investigators agree that the Indian as we know him is a comparatively late comer. Whether he arrived by way of Alaska from Asia may never be discovered, but the reliefs of his civilization are believed to date back not more than a few thousand years at most, observes a writer in Boys' Life. There is much evidence on the other hand to indicate that men lived in North America at the close of the ice age and perhaps during the glacial period. The evidence is found for the most part in the Ohio and Delaware valleys. The rude instruments these men used in their hunting and homes have been found buried deep in gravel which is believed to date back to the close of the ice age. If this be the case men lived in America 10,000 or 15,000 years ago. Some geologists believe that the gravel deposits are considerably older. How these men found their way to America in remote antiquity, how much of the land they occupied and where they disappeared are perhaps the most fascinating problems in American archaeology. The patient investigations of many trained scientists are carrying us every day nearer the answer.

Plans are being made to place this literature in the hands of every member of the church, and eight pamphlets will be given each family during the month, all on various topics allied to the work set for February. Retreats will take place the last week in January, when pastors, stewardship representatives, and groups connected with the Presbyteries and synods will complete their plans for the work and be ready to take it up without delay February I. Some ministers have already made their plans, are engaged now in completing arrangements to carry them out, and gathering their personnel. Among them are Dr. J. M. Blackwood of Mercer and Dr. H. J. Rose of New Wilmington. Dr. R. M. Russell, former president of Westminster College at New Wilmington, has been engaged as a special speaker along stewardship lines for the work outlined, and he will visit the Synod of New York, First Synod of the West and the Ohio Synod during the month. Dr. Russell has not completed his program of visits and dates, but intends to speak in every place possible, going from city to city for one meeting in each and addressing three meetings daily where this is possible. Some of the principal places he will visit during the month are: Buffalo, Rochester, Schemetady, Oneonta and Albany, N. Y.; Chickapee, Brockton, Quincy and Boston, Mass.; Providence, R.

THE STREET CAFE Here's a United Presbyterian Missionary in India about to set forth on an evangelistic auto tour in his jitney. More autos for missionaries is one aim of the New World Movement campaign in the United Presbyterian Church. The pagan of the present day has his gospel brought to him by the most modern method. Maybe it comes by a missionary, whizzing into the village on a motor cycle, maybe a whole mission party arrives in a Ford car. In northern India one United Presbyterian mission station finds a motor truck a wonderful convenience in moving a group of mission workers, their baggage and supplies, long distances. all of their belongings and supplies needed into the truck or the Henry and set forth, camping for about a week at each place. "The natives are as excited as when a circus comes to town," writes one of the missionary chauffeurs. "The machine itself, everything about it from the tires to the smell, is a tremendous attraction, and we never lack for an audience when we are ready to begin our real work." But the motor vehicles are not the "Every motor cycle or Ford or truck that is sent out to us means increased efficiency in spreading our work," writes one missionary, "because it enables the worker to supervise work in every part of his district." Through the hot season it is impossible to make long trips with a horse and cart, but the little old jitney jogs right along, heedless of the soaring mercury or the dust or the flies or any of the other discomforts that make travel in the hot season a misery to the horse. When a tour of a large number of villages is planned the workers load The chipmunk is a provident little chap, and stores up a prodigious quantity of food, sometimes a peck or more of nuts and grain; and when singly hidden in his winding burrow, the mouth of which he closes when the cold season arrives, a hard winter has no terrors for him. His enemies, the hawks, owls and weasels, may go hungry, but safe in the bosom of mother earth, with the warm mantle of the snow above him, the chipmunk passes a cosy winter, in the midst of comfort and plenty, dreaming of the time when the south wind shall blow away and the squirrel cups shall open, more.—Boys' Life.

But the motor vehicles are not the only means of conveyance used by the enterprising worker. There are several mission boats in use on the Nile and one ingenious preacher took advantage of the flood season to reach a number of villages difficult of access in ordinary times. He took a native canoe and paddled out to them. "But at first the villagers hid from me." he writes, "thinking I was the tax collector." The regular mission boats in service are the "Ibls," the "Witness," the "Allegheny," the "Evangelist" who has just been completed, and another which is building and will shortly be ready for use.

If you want to get to market before the best things are sold you want to start not later than 7 a.m." Such a refrigerator will not cool things to anywhere near freezing point, but in the hottest days of summer those at Syracuse maintained a temperature of 54 degrees, which is at least relatively cold. Big Co THE NEW LAMBR ELEGANCE IN SPRING SUITS THE WEEKLY PRESS The youthful and chic suit shown here will interest those who are looking for novelty. Taking advantage of several privileges offered by spring styles, it has assembled straight lines, flaring sleeves, crisscross tucks and rows of buttons in a charming model made of belge-colored, smooth-faced cloth. Except for diagonal, slit pockets, set in at each side, the skirt is quite plain, bearing out the elegance which the designer had in mind and executed so well. The coat has slashed seams forming five panels, two at the front, one at each side and one at the back. Each front panel is decorated with a row of buttons, and the side panels have beautifully crow-bar tucks as a finish at the bottom. Wild Animals in Banff. Although Banff, Alberta, is a hustling village during the summer and is thronged with tourists, wild deer from the mountains are to be seen daily on the streets and at night stately elk leap from the roads in the bushes to escape approaching automobiles. If a Banff cottager expects to eat his own "garden truck" he builds a deer-proof fence around his patch. The grounds of Brett hospital are open from the street and the other night a half-dozen mule deer made a raid upon the flower garden. Banff is the capital of Rocky Mountain park, and shooting game within the park limits is forbidden by law. The deer, being unmolested, have become very tame, and even a bear now and then pays a friendly visit to the village. Not long ago a bicyclist, speeding down one of the side streets at night, hit a dark object and turned a somersault or two before he hit the macadam. Sitting up, he looked around and discovered a bear hitting the trail for home as fast as four legs could carry him. Although tame and somewhat obtrusive, the deer, elk and bear do not relish too close an acquaintance with man, and have proved themselves to be not only picturesque but perfectly safe neighbors. Kanaka Swimmers Salvage Valuables From Schooner One of the characteristic and inviting features of life at Honolulu is the surf-bathing and swimming, in which the natives are distinguished. Their skill in the water, however, is something more than a national pastime. This may be seen from the fact that expert Kanaka swimmers have salvaged 300 tons of coconut oil from the cargo of a strained schooner. The natives as divers and swimmers recovered these valuable goods. Twin Electric Fans.

BOYD 6232 Ridge Avenue Lignum Vitae Only Used on Propellers of Vessels While inspecting the head of a golf club or fitting a caster to the dining room table, few land-men realize that they are handling wood from the West Indian gualacum, or lignum vitae tree says Popular Mechanics. Fewer realize that this same wood has been used to make propeller shaft bearings for every battleship and ocean liner on the high seas. This wood alone, of the thousands upon the earth, will survive the grinding rotation of the great shafts. The reason is found on examining a lignum vitae log. The sar cells are seen to be full of heavy, solidified resin. Successive layers of fiber are arranged obliquely to each other making it impossible to split the log. High Record in Tobacco Prices. What is believed to be a new world's record was made at the Owensboro, Ky., tobacco market when Pryor to baco sold for $60 a hundred pounds. Burley tobacco also made a record, it is believed, when it went to $80 a hundred pounds. At the theater a lady's hat obscured a man's view, and he leaned forward and respectfully asked if she would remove it. A stiffening of the neck was the only answer. After a few minutes he repeated his request. Then she turned to him. "There is no demand for my doing so," she said. "No demand?" he ecloed. Then he rolled up his overcoat and placed it on his seat, sat on it, and put his hat on his head. In a moment there were shouts of "Take it off!" "Take that hat off!" And instantly the lady drew out her hatpins and removed her hat. Coffins Rented in Moscow. Unofficial advice to the state department state that practically all stores in Moscow have been municipalized as a rule without compensation to owners. Eggs are quoted at 11 rubles and matches at four rubles a box. Individual coffins are reported to be no longer used, but are being rented out. The mortality rate is very high, with typhus, grip and erysipelas being especially prevalent and overcrowding the hospitals.

I. F. BRADLEY, Attest: Attorney: for Plaintiff. R. J. McFarland, Clerk of District Court. (First publication May 7, 1920) That corn and bodily ease are incompatible is the most trite of truisms. That of the two bodily ease is the most to be desired, likewise needs no proving. Therefore, eliminate the corn. That you can do it by using CORNEASE Cures Corns needs only a single trial to demonstrate the fact to the most skeptical. Try it and you will be convinced, because the corn will be gone. Don't think that because various "Corn Cures" have not succeeded, CORNEASE will fail you also. If it does you get your money back.
