Kansas City Advocate

KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. Johnson City, Tenn.—I'll bet you some of you never heard of this place. There are others just like it, but it is my duty to discover some places and let you know about them, and this is exactly what I am striving to do now, but you must take time and not be in a hurry, and I will let you know all that I know and perhaps I may stretch the blanket a little bit and pour out some things which may have happened only in a dream. Of course I have been going some, and I am going some more before I get through with this going business, and I want you to help me by praying that the Lord will keep them old iron horses on the track while they tote me around in the carriage from place to place. I note at times they get a little unruly, and then there are a few funerals. Of course should I drop into eternity just now, there would be but few people who would miss me. Those who have been reading would find something else to read, and I would continue to travel in the spirit, telling the world about how some of my people are being treated. I have just been coming in touch with big men, and influent'a women until I just feel my head swelling, and unless you get a band to put around it, I am going to be called away from this world with the big head, and I am told that when you get this disease there is no cure. It is often had by horses and mules. I have been associating with college presidents, bishops professors, editors, lawyers, bankers, grand masters, grand chancellors, supreme chancellor and his vice, and even been in company with some few whatnets, and I am yet on earth. I was down in Florida touching elbows with Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, and his associate E. Tidrington, of Evansville, Ind. These good men are doing their business, getting ready for the supreme lodge next year, and I am told that it is going to be a great session, because great things are to be done, I don't know just what part I shall play, but if I am in health, and left here on earth, I expect to be there to help to crown them Lord of all. I have been on terms of equal association with President John A. Gregg, of Edward Waters college, and he treated me just like I was a college man also, taking me into his car, into his home, into his heart, and told me a few things about the General Conference and how things went there. I was glad to get the information, and as I talked with that great man, I could see that there is to be a Bishop Gregg on the episcopal bench when the door is open again, and right by his side will be Bishop J. C. Caldwell. Bishop W Sampson Brooks is going to Africa, and I am sure that you are going to hear from him over there. He is made up that way, and when he was announced for that part of the world, I am told that he put on a gold dust twin smile, and thanked the Episcopal committee for the assignment. While we shall miss him, we shall be delighted to know that he is serving our Lord, and doing good work where it is needed to be done. Bishop W. T. Vernon, considered it a punishment to be sent to Africa, when he should feel thankful. Count the years he has been in the active ministry, and look as those who have been in so much longer, and he should rejoice at being honored so early. It is true that he is getting up in years, but he started late. I want to here congratulate Prof. Aaron E. Malone, upon being selected to preside over the laymen, and I am informed that he made an excellent presiding officer, and soon he will turn his attention to his work in connection with the National Negro Business League. The Lord has prospered him and he is putting himself where the Lord can use him in church and in state. Praise God for his life, and the wife of one of the greatest women in civilization, Mrs. Annie Trumbo Pope Malone. She has started at the bottom and worked to the top. She has helped to reconstruct women, and beautify them. She has given us the greatest institution of its kind in the world, Poro College—in fact the only one. While speaking of Malone, I want to pay my respects to a most remarkable woman, who is right by the side of Mrs. Malone, and that is Mrs. M. L. Lansing, a scholar, a woman of worth and ability. I would that we could find a few more like her in this country. The world is calling for competent trained women, but so many of them get just a little smattering of it, and then claim a place they cannot fill. But, honey, I have been riding some. I went from Jacksonville to Savannah, Ga., spending some time with President R. R. Wright, president of the state school, and a man who has his place in this world of education. He is the man who said, "Tell 'em We's rising." This saying dates way back yonder. He is a man who is doing things right in this world. I rode in his automobile by his side, and then with Prof. W. D. Thomas, another great educator. I had the pleasure of shaking hands with Mrs. Willie Hall, a young widow, who is also a teacher, and one of the best in the race. She was a classmate of that leader of women, Mrs. E. J. Colyer, Grand Worthy Counsellor of the Grand Court of Calanthe of Florida. These women are both workers in the order and are doing things in great shape, believe me. I made it to Atlanta, and there I had the pleasure of eating breakfast with Bishop and Mrs. Fountain, and their children. She has worked right by his side, and has helped him to make it. She was his secretary during the time he was president of Morris Brown, and a faithful one at that. Now she has been elected to take charge of her home, and to enjoy life. The home was being fitted up, and he has a program of work for himself. He is going to make good, and I think that—well, I will not express it now. I went out to Morehouse college, and saw them young men out there graduate. Prof. John Hope is one more educating man. He is one of the finest school men in this country, saying nothing about race or color. He is the man of the hour. He is not a bombast, but still and deep, and is doing his work without trumpets. I thank God for him and his wife, and their two sons. Morehouse college has outgrown itself under President Hope, and they are going to erect a building this summer to cost $100,000, and there are many other improvements slated. You will see them from time to time. The honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on Rev. H. K. Hill, of Orlando, Florida, and you may congratulate him when you per chance to see him. He is a worker in the state, and an educator. His wife was present to see him get it. She is a missionary. Then I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. G. R. Dwelle, a real doctor, but she is a woman. She totes herself around on her calls in her own automobile, and she is the driver, and believe me, honey she knows her business. She is the daughter of a noted Baptist minister, and she has a brother who is indeed a great preacher in Philadelphia. Dr. Ernest Hall shook my hands, Dr. P. James Bryant, Dr. A. D. Williams and the L. & N. toted me out of town. I wish I could tell you all. I did not have time to tell you of them big words I shot at Dr. Hope. They are going to fit up a hospital for the boys next winter. Off to Knoxville, and a day was spent with Editor W. L. Porter of the East Tennessee News. It is wonderful to see how this young man can put brains on paper. He is a power in the community and his paper is being felt. He is calling a shade by the proper name. He had pulled off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and handled a theatre without gloves, because of discrimination, and believe me, when I was in the office one night the manager of a show, of course white man, came into the office to get a copy of the paper to see what had been said about the house where his company was playing. I was in charge and let him have one. A day in Knoxville, then to the place where I am today, the guest of Rev. and Mrs. W. Lawrence Campbell. He is one of the leading ministers of East Tennessee, and is doing a good work. He is teaching men and women the way. I hope some day to see him in a large field, for he deserves it. I am proud of him as I can be. God bless him. I shall have to bring this letter to a stop. I have some other things to tell you about Jacksonville, Fla. J. O. MIDNIGHT. The last report we received of the serious illness of Mrs. Ramson, wife of Rev. J. R. Ransom, a former pastor of First A. M. E. church, she was no better. She is in Topeka at the home of a son. The many warm friends of Dr. Ransom and his family extend their full sympathy in their hour of sorrow and only hope it may be possible for his good wife to make a change for the better.

A large crowd was already there and the W. R. C. assembled around the graves of deceased comrades, while Major Holmes, Judge Bradley and others made suitable addresses. The firing squad then fired three salutes and the buglers sounded the final "taps." The Relief Corps ladies strewed flowers on the graves and the remnant of the G. A. R. returned slowly homeward until next Memorial Day. POSTMAN DAVIS BACK M4. Tilford Davis, Jr., has returned from Pittsburgh, Pa., where he attended as a delegate the National Musicians' convention. Mr. Davis states there were nine colored delegates out of the many hundred and that they were given every courtesy by their fellow craftsmen, and his trip and visit to the great Smoky City was an enjoyable one, as well as being helpful. MRS. SELF DIES The Advocate regretted very much to learn of the death of Mrs. Dawson Self, the wife of Rev. Dawson Self, the pastor of the A. M. E. church at Weir City, Kansas. Mrs. Self departed this life Friday, May the 21st, at their home in Leavenworth, Kansas. We extend to the father, husband and relatives our sincere sympathy in their sad hour of bereavement.

KENNEDY, PUBLISHER. More than 20 years ago George W. Carver was a Pullman porter on the Great Northern with a run between St. Paul and Breckenridge. Sometimes because of the prejudice against his race he found it difficult to buy meals in Breckenridge. Often he cooked his own meals on a stove in the baggage car of the train on which he was employed. For two years or more he shined the shoes and lifted the grips of Wahpeton and Breckenridge business men who made trips to the Twin Cities and used sleeping car service. When the sleeper was quiet and the shoes all shined he used to take a package of books out of the porter's locker and study. One day he resigned and went to Dixie. He became a student at Tuskegee institute and graduated with honors. Today he is known as Dr. George W. Carver, the "Plant Wizard" of Tuskegee Institute and he is chasing John Burbank for honors. Dr. Carver has just surprised the scientific world by demonstrating that milk as good as that of a cow can be taken from peanuts. A scientific description of his discovery says: "The milk consists of a perfect emulsion of the oils, fats, proteids and carbohydrates. If you did not know one was peanut milk and the other cow's milk the eye could not detect the difference. It can be used for cooking. The rich cream can be used on fruit, in coffee, on cereals and ice cream as fruit juices blend with it. Peanut buttermilk has a mild acid taste, closely resembling fresh buttermilk from cow's milk." Dr. Carver has also developed a substitute for rubber from the sweet potato and other important discoveries. It is related of him that when he was an infant in arms that he was sold as a slave for $500.—Richland County Farmer. THANKSGIVING SERVICE OF KORAN COURT NO. 37.

WELL KNOWN AND PROSPEROUS MAN PASSES AWAY Nathaniel Singletary, a Business Man-Was Spanish War Nathaniel Singletary, one of the city's well known and successful business men, after several months' illness, passed away last Saturday morning, May 29th, at 7 o'clock, at his home, 1307 North Eleventh street. Mr. Singletary was in the prime of life and had he lived until August he would have been 47 years old. As a business man, he was probably the peer of any of his race in the city. After coming out of the Spanish-American war, he took up the real estate business and at the time of his death was considered a man of considerable means, owning a large amount of valuable real estate in the city, besides land holdings in Kansas. The only thing outside of his business, he took an active interest in, was politics and civic affairs, and was looked to for council and advice among the party leaders of his and other races, and was loyal to his people and party. He was not a man that made much noise, but did things. He stood high as a citizen and his word was his bond. He will be greatly missed in civic affairs, as well as the social side, of which he was very congenial at all times. He leaves and estimable and devoted wife, Mrs. Lydia Singletary, and one girl, Louise, a mother, two sisters, residing here, and one brother, living in Idaho. The funeral was held Wednesday at 10 o'clock a.m., at his late residence, 1307 North Eleventh street, Rev. J. F. Griffin officiating. Remarks were made by Rev. D. A. Holmes, and a resolution from the Home Drug Co, by I. F. Bradley, Jr., was read. The family have the sympathy of the community, including the entire staff of The Advocate.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. DECORATION DAY. Monday, which was celebrated as Decoration Day, was an ideal one, so far as the weather man was concerned. Early in the morning thousands commenced getting ready to pay their respects and do honor to the comrades of many wars, and loved ones whose beds lie beneath the sod at home or in some foreign land, by placing flowers on their grave or dropping a tear to their memory. Some employed the day at various parks, with family and picnic dinners; others took in amusements and outdoor sports, while some had to be satisfied in their humble homes for the day. Others whose homes were draped in sorrow, by sickness or death. All of these make up a world of little concern, one to another. THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD (C.W.F.F.) (337 Oakland Avenue. Rev. J. A. Cook, Pastor, Last Sunday was a beautiful Sunday and it was very warm. Everybody seems to be going to and fro to different churches.

The morning sermon was perfectly preached by Elder Farr and some good things were said. Elder Stockey was followed by Elder Farr and he said many uplifting words to fallen humanity. The Bible Band was nicely attended. An interesting lesson was carried out. The night sermon was preached by the Prophet Jacob Dupree and Elder A. E. Galvin. Elder Galvin being the second speaker. The Prophet Dupree spoke very well in his manner of speaking. He also explained to the congregation how he saw Christ and God and the Holy Ghost in the flesh.

CHURCH NEWS A very fine audience was out Sunday to worship, many having to go to the balcony. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, filled his pulpit and delivered a most intellectual sermon. It was a mind sermon, one that appealed to spiritual thought. "As a man thinketh, so he is." Eight joined the church, three being strong, stalwart men, who said they had tasted enough of the world and would from now on, by the help of God, try to make up some of their lost time for His Kingdom here on earth. It was a grand and happy sight on this beautiful Lord's day. The choir was without a chorister, but they were not without their voices. The chorister could not be present at the morning service, but was present at the evening service. The Third Quarterly meeting will be held the second Sunday in this month, which is June the 13th.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES As it was Memorial Day, Sunday, May 30, the corresponding secretary had miniature flags drawn on the bulletin board for the announcement of the G. A. R. annual sermon, but while this was attractive the greatest attraction was assembling together to hear the Gospel preached. Pastor Holmes preached well at 11 a.m. and several united with the church. A lady from Pueblo sang two selections and a collection was asked for her. Then came the baptizing of some of the candidates who were to have been baptized last Sunday. The first two looked sweet and angelic, but when Mr. Williams was led into the water arrayed in white, the pastor preached a sermonette on him and it was very impressive. The other candidates will not be baptized until the third Sunday in June. At 3 p. m., Pastor Holmes preached a very appropriate and spiritual sermon for the old soldiers of Sumner Post, G. A. R. The Women's Relief Corps also turned out with them. The pastor presented Comrade T. McGruder, who was with the colored man who was the author of "The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground." A large collection was taken, considering the few. heroes who yet survive from the Civil War. At 8 p. m., the pastor preached his third sermon of the day, and the choir sang some beautiful anthems. Several united with the church and an ordinary collection of over $126 was taken. Mr. C. W. Rogers, traveling for the Western Baptist Mission work, talked, and over $13 was given to him. Many were fellowshipped into the church. Next Sunday June 6th will be Covenant Sacrament and sermon. All saints and sinners are invited to visit or join this church. Her doors are ever open unto sorrow. Come. Five o'clock prayer meeting Sunday morning; 8 o'clock prayer meeting Wednesday night and don't forget the greatest prayers which you can make at all times when alone with God. Allen Chapel A. M. E.

The money will be furnished in the form of scholarships and loans to nurses who wish to take post graduate courses in public health nursing in accredited schools. The Southwestern's quota is approximately $5,000. -This is the second national fund to be established by the Red Cross for this purpose. A similar fund was expended along similar lines several years ago. Of the total $60,000 will be given as scholarships and the remainder will be disbursed in the form of loans.

GASOLINE KILLS DANDELIONS Lawrence, May 13—Gasoline is useful in killing other things than bank accounts via the motoring route. The speed fluid is a sure knock out for that ever present foe to Kansas lawns—the dandelion! Prof. S. J. Hunter of the University of Kansas, has just called the attention of the city of Lawrence to the fact that a small spoonful or two of gasoline poured upon the crown of the dandelion plant will make it curl up and die, clear down to the very tip of its usual twenty feet or so of root According to Professor Hunter, the gasoline method is the best one known for clearing a lawn of dandelions as it kills the weed entirely. Merely cutting off the crown, which is commonly done in attempting to dig the dandelion out, does not kill the root except that part taken out and the remaining part soon springs into life as a new plant. The gasoline method also has an advantage over the digging method in that it does not break the soil and make a landing place for seed carried by the wind from other lawns. The gasoline must be applied directly to each plant. The method has been tried out successfully this season on Professor Hunter's lawn where three gallons of gasoline were required to clear out a space of about 100 square feet that was badly infested. MAKES APPEAL TO SPEND Washington, D. C.—With a shortage of farm labor threatening to be as acute as in 1918, Secretary of Agriculture Meredith has issued an appeal to city men, college students and others who can do so to spend their vacations working on farms, particularly as helpers in the harvest fields. Reports to the Department from practically every state indicate that the supply of hired farm labor is only about 72 per cent of normal, compared with 84 per cent normal a year ago. Secretary Meredith feels that the situation must be relieved if food production is to be brought to near normal. Hub—I don't believe in parading my virtues. Wife—You couldn't, anyway.

A strike was on against the Great Southern Lumber company at that time. The strikers refused to divide on racial lines and a posse of gun-men began a search for a colored worker of good reputation who was influential among his fellows. The colored man hid in the swamps and escaped to New Orleans with the assistance of the white workers. The next day a fleet of automobiles, loaded with armed thugs and company men, drove up to the union headquarters and demanded "that nigger." The unionists denied that they were concealing the colored man, and asked the leaders of the posse to come into their headquarters. This was answered by a volley from shot-guns, rifles and revolvers. The fusilade resulted in the death of five trade unionists. tin owes allegiance to no one. Originated by union labor for the benefit of the common people, its policy will ever be the true expression of the mind of the masses. The complete outline of the campaign is printed in another column of this issue. Plan and act! Mr. C. C. Schneider, whose meat market in Kansas City, Kansas, is located at No. 20 Kansas avenue, has a new ad this week on page six. In addition to the place at 20 Kansas avenue, Mr. Schneider has a market at 1118 East Twelfth street, on the Missouri side, and a delicatessen at 1114 East Twelfth. Besides doing a big business at all his three places, Mr. Schneider is worthy the support of Bulletin readers. Because his business is large, he can purchase in such quantities that he gets the inside prices and passes them on to his customers. Mr. I. B.-Morgan, director of the Continuation schools in the high school building at Ninth street and Minnesota avenue., left at this office a list of questions and answers which he is using in his naturalization class. This class is composed of people of foreign birth who are preparing for American citizenship. They take their examination on June 7. The questions are very explicit, and the course of instruction would be very profitable for every American citizen. "ARE POSTAL EMPLOYES HUMAN BEINGS?" After months and months of indifference in regard to the welfare of the employees of the postal service, Government officials are beginning to see the demoralizing effect insufficient gay has on the post office business, and is attempting adjustments through congressional legislation. Union Labor in general has an understanding sympathy for the men and women in the mail service. The butcher, the baker, and the rest, don't ask the customer whether he is a laborer, bank president, railroad man, or post office employee, but names the selling price with a sign to take it or leave it. The welfare of the people has been prostituted by Greed, which controls public affairs, and blocks the efforts of our government in behalf of the people.

Well, they reduced them to $10 this morning." "Then you are out $10 for not waiting till this morning." "No, dear, only $5. I went downtown today and bought another one for $10, making the two of them average $15 each." The loftiest test of friendship—understood as companionship—is the power to do without it. And in this world of external confusions and separations, there is often such need. We do not yield the friendship, but must forego the companionship. Then comes the proof of our capacity for sacrifice, our loyalty to the Highest of all. We turn our faces from each other, but never our hearts, and walk our opposite ways. Gradually the heavens widen and deepen above us; we find ourselves breathing new, yet strangely familiar atmospheres, sweet with the breath of the old affection; we see ourselves—each sees the other—met once more in a Presence which has never foraken us—the presence of one who puts his cross into the of one who puts his cross into the hands of all holist friendship, saying "Conquer by this!" There is no danger of losing love, here or hereafter, if it is only real; tar love is the one indestructible element in the universe. —Lucy Lareom.

'Collaboration' often produces a good play, or a good story, but, when applied to poetry, a collaborator becomes an acchye!" Sphinx RECORDS WRITTEN ON WOOD Laws So Recorded Were Rather for Preservation Than With Idea.of General Circulation. Ionian culture was different in its form from any development of later times, and most difficult to understand, having been addressed to the ears and not to the eyes, writes Mary Mills Patrick in the National Geographic Magazine. The sixth century, B. C., was an age without free distribution of written records, and the beginnings of libraries were mostly collections of wooden tablets. Some of the great men of the latter part of this period each wrote a book, but it was a laborious task. Heraclitus of Ephesus was one of those who wrote a book which was kept for safety in the temple of Diana at Ephesus. A book was not a thing to be lightly regarded, and the process of writing was so difficult that it was far easier to remember what one had written than to decipher it from a book. Greek writing was hard to read because neither the words nor the sentences were divided from each other, and the lines ran both from right to left and from left to right. Solon and Pittakos wrote their laws on wooden tablets. However, they did not write them for general circulation, but rather to preserve the laws they had promulgated. RUGS MADE TO APPEAR OLD Ingenious Method by Which "Genuine Antiques" Are Furnished to Supply the Demand. How "genuine antique rugs" are manufactured and prepared for European and American markets is told by an American who visited Bagdad. The shopping streets seem like tunnels. They are arched overhead with brick to keep out the heat; thus they run, like subways, up and down the bazaar quarter. Through those long, stifling, falsely lighted tunnels throngs the eternal crowd of men, mules and camels. Often one will see a fine rug lying flat in the fifth of a narrow street, ground beneath the tramp of men and beasts, but there is method in this. Foreigners make oriental rugs, bright and new, in Persia, and sell them through Bagdad. Since an "old rug" is worth more, wily brokers have hit on this way to make a new rug look old. WHEN A TYPHOON HITS GUAM Island Makes a Small Target, but Sterm Center Has Found It All Too Frequently. Typhoons sometimes visit the island of Guam and are very destructive in the path of the center. The Aslatic typhoons originate near Guam, but unless the center passes directly over the island the effect is not serious. As the island is small this does not often happen. But did happen in July, 1918, with disastrous results. The loss of life was fortunately slight, but the damage otherwise was great, consisting in the unroofing or total destruction of many habitations (Government house lost a third of its roof), the loss of all crops and the uprooting of or serious injury to all trees, especially coconut and fruit trees. These typhoons are rotary storms which have a motion of translation as well. Their coming can be foretold some hours in advance by an increasing wind with falling barometer, and by the direction of the wind and the appearance of the clouds. The center is, a calm area of some miles in diameter, with very low barometer, causing the sea to rise abnormally within this low-pressure area. Around this center the wind is whirling at a terrible rate. It works up gradually to a maximum as the center draws near, and then falls abruptly to calm. Emaciated Bride Considered Beautiful. Japanese marriage customs include a period of religious instruction for both the bride and the groom. The young man starts his instruction by paying daily visits to the priest of the village, and learning all the complicated phrases which he will have to utter on the day of his wedding. The pupil is placed in a tank of cold water and stays there submerged up to his chin while the priest bends over him and reads the Koran, the performance taking place in front of the church. The girl begins her preparations for the great day by several weeks of semi-starvation during which time she takes only sufficient rice and hot water to sustain life. Because of this hunger strike enforced by custom, she loses considerable weight, an emaciated bride being considered a thing of beauty on the island of Java.—Detroit News. That corns and bodily ease are incompatible is the most trite of trus- isms. 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 demon- strate the fact to the most skeptical. Try it and you will be convinced, be- cause 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. At druggists' or by mail, 25 cents.
