Bishop W. T. Vernon Will Preach at First A. M. E. Church Sunday at 11 A. M. and Bishop H. B. Parks at 7:30 P. M. Two Great Men. Hear Them KANSAS VOLUME VII MIDNIGHT GETS TO ANOTHER K. OF P. CONVENTION Louisville, Ky.-I have been the most ridingest man in the country, and I will be far from here when you get to look at this letter, for I am packing up to leave while I write, and you may put this in your pipe and smoke it. I wrote to you last week, and just as soon as I got through writing I beat it to another part of the world. It is hard for me to get over that great meeting in Hutchinson, Kansas, when I was made to shout and do other things when I saw how the people worked together in peace and harmony. I wish you could have seen General Kennedy in his uniform. He looked just like a real soldier instead of a mere Pythian soldier. He is some good looking man in uniform. Then I was delighted to see how them women followed Mrs. Norene Davis. She is queen among them, and at the same time a companion. She is destined to fill one of the big places in the supreme court, and I might say the same thing about Dr. Thompson and the supreme lodge. He is a leader of men. These two work together in peace and harmony doing all the good possible for the race. I could just praise the Lord. Now where have I been? I have just been going, and gonig until I am back in Louisville, but will spend a day with Dr. J. C. Caldwell, and his people, and then on to Birmingham, from which place I shall write, my next letter. I spent one day with Rev. Robert Mitchell, D.D., Lexington, Ky., and if you know anything about Lexington you know that it is an aggressive town—people believe in doing things there in that man's town. For years people have gone to Lexington from all parts of the country to witness the Lexington fair, and it is some fair, believe me, honey. The people are up on the fair business. Rev. Mitchell is one of the leading preachers in Kentucky, and a Christian gentleman. His wife is a very queen in the home and she is found right by the side of her husband in church work. We are not on the same side of the fence in the convention matters, but he is not going to destroy his friends on account of convention questions, which do not mean so much. I spent all day Sunday in Lexington, reached there Saturday night, and was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Mitchell. It was Monday morning bright and fair, when I mounted an automobile drawn by a horse headed for the stable in order to get over to Cincinnati, which was quickly done, and a day was spent there, most of it was spent with Attorney Bush and Joseph L. Jones, at the head of the Central Regalia company and a business man. He toted me around some in his automobile, and then at night I stated for Clarksburg, W. Va. I got on the B. & O., got me a bed in the regular bed car, and just as soon as that corductor man got my ticket I went to bed and slept like a log until some fellow punched me in the back. He was the porter on the bed car. He told me toget ready for Clarksburg and just as soon as I got myself together, washed and dressed I was in town, where the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias were to hold their annual grand lodge convention. I could see men getting around with red badges on, and I called one of them to me and told him that I was there for the meeting. He looked at me and called another man, and he sized me up, and I did not come up to their ideal in looks, and they just left me stalking at the stable. I don't blame them much. I put my junk in the luggage room and went out in the street. I looked around, and some one informed me where Prof. J. Rupert Jefferson, the Grand Worthy Counsellor of the Grand Court of Calanthe, was stopping. I found the house, and believe me as I looked at that fine house I made sure that white folks lived there, but a white man passed along and assured me that I was in the rigid neighborhood and the right pew, so I took a seat and read the magazines on the table, or at least read the pictures in them. About 7 o'clock the door opened, and to me it was exciting times for I though the lady would call an officer. She belonged to my race, and I learned that her name was Mrs. J. A. Hickenbotan, the wife of J. A. Hickenbotan, who is perhaps the wealthiest man or our race in town, and a business man. He owns the TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. pool room, the ice cream parlor, the barber shop and the cafe, and all in his own buildings, and one right next door to the other, and he is a fine man himself. My knees were shaking when I spoke to the lady and I told her I was looking for Mr. Jefferson, and when I told her that I was Col. J. O. Midnight she smiled a broad smile and invited me to come on the inside. She told me they had a fine stopping place for me, and she would see that I got to it. Mr. Jefferson was soon on hand shaking my lily black hande, and then I was soon shaking hands with Hon. T. G. Nutter, a member of the state legislature, and a leader among men. He was as cordial as could be, and getting in company with all these big men I felt my head swelling. We were soon headed for the Baptist church, where meals were served, and where I met the pastor of the church. Cleveland Brown, the keeper of records and seals of the local olds, looked at me, and he like Brother Stepteau, did not understand why I should be left at the stable, and he assigned me to one of the finest homes in town, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Johnson. Mr. Johnson is a plumber, and I am told that he is a good one at that. He was plumbing the line, but his wife and two daughters gave me a welcome that made me feel that they meant it. I tell you when I met Mr. Johnson, I met a man. He is as busy as could be, but Kentucky had something to do with him and I got that Kentucky welcome. Soon I was in the meeting and saw the opening. Time will not permit me to go into all of it except to say to you that the mayor delivered the address of welcome and there was some one responding, believe me. That man J. Rupert Jefferson was a speaker from way back yonder. He made them big speakers come back to this earth, and I just sat with my mouth open letting the good things he said go down, and if possible become a part of me. I was called upon to make a few remarks, and when I was through with them remarks the local committee that left me at the stable regretted it to a large extent. They were men with brains and hearts and they had a fellow feeling and felt that they had done wrong, and you know it takes a real man to acknowledge his sins. I met many able men and women during this great meeting: Mrs. Mary J. Hazlewood, who is an officer in the supreme court, was there and she shook hands with me. She is one of the women who be- I have been going some, you see, lieves in doing things. My friend was with me all the time or every opportunity he could get. When I was ready to leave, I telephoned over to the B. & O. for a bed car, and the man who answered said that he would teelgraph for a space for me, and I only wanted a bed. I reported to the station that evening and that 2x4 ticket agent told me that there was nothing secured, and turned away, to wait on someone else. I waited, and then Mr. Johnson joke up and told him that some big man had said it was there, and he wanted to speak to him, and I wish you could have seen that lying white man busy making out the ticket for my bed. I got it, went to bed that night. It was a great meeting, and I am proud that I went there. People are doing things in the town. We are getting ready for this election business, and it is a gone conclusion that Senator Harding will be the next president. I shall vote for him. I will bring th's letter to a stop for this time. Get yourself ready for the National Baptist convention in Indianapolis, Ind., September 8 to 13. Mr. Thos. Anderson, one of our popular railroad men and prominent citizens, came in off his run last Friday quite a sick man, but we are pledsed to say he is somewhat improved at this writing, at his home 1040 Freeman avenue. His good wife, who is a trained nurse, is taking the best of care of her husband and his many warm friends will rejoice to see Mr. Anderson out at an early date. Miss Gertrude Lankford. 837 Nebraska avenue, and a teacher at Langston University, Langston, Oklahoma, is home for a few weeks with her mother for a rest. Miss Lankford also taught in the Summen school. Mr. M. H. Hockett, 2731 North Allis, is spending a week at Excelsior Springs taking baths, which his friends hope may be beneficial to him. Mrs. Warfield's mother, 617 Troup keept sp very weak.

Moses Williams, pastor, is holding outdoor meetings at the corner of Third street and Troup avenue, under a mammoth tent. One of the church's noted evangelists has been conducting the campaign with great success. Thousands have been attending these services from both cities. Most all of the churches of this side of all denominations have been given a night. The pastor, their choir and congregation conducting the services. Rev. Moses Williams has built up a large and loyal congregation on Virginia avenue, and has crested a fine and commodious house of worship. A FINE DELIVERY CAR The Peoples' Mercantile Company at-418 Minnesota avenue, has now on the streets a fine new delivery auto. Mr. Banks, the genial manager of this Co-Operative Store, is keeping abreast of an up-to-date business. This store has also one of the latest and most complete individual clerk cash registers in the city. The success of this store has been marvelous in its first six months of operation. "ALONG THE LINE OF REASON" "Hello, Uncle Ike,—did you heard how de lec-shun went?" Well I sho i did—lemme tell you sumpin,—lisin ter what I says. Des like some of dat Lec-shun went,—de same way ever thing else what your Uncle Ike bin er tellin yer, could-er WENT." Yes, suh,—'pears ter me lak I see what-dar was Com-bern-nation, Co-er-la-tion, and U-ni-min-ity, 'mongst us for wunst." Umph, Humph,—Yes, And we should get busy and keep all three of them things a-going in our midst. And what is more,—we should work them FULL,—Over-time, and Sunday. In every line of human endeavor, we should give them first place. And now where should they be more prominent, than in our theory and practice of economy. I am satisfied that almost every one, when questioned, will agree that it is the duty of all of us to Co-operate with the members of the race; in order to get the best result, be it in business, in the professions, or otherwise. And the best way to get results by co-operation is to CO-OP-E-RATE. And to do that,—we will have to believe in it, talk it, preach it, teach it, live it, and act it;—do not cut-out any line of human endeavor,—but believe in it, talk it, preach it teach it, live and act it, as to all matters and things, in every enterprise and business in each of the professions;—just as we are forced to co-operate in our churches and schools. We had just as well be plain and open,—We have to grow less like the mule,—"With Thick Hide and Short Recollection," and become more like a Race Horse,—"With Thin Skin, and easily impressed." We must teach each other to be ashamed, at patronizing people who religiously hate us,—while we refuse to patronize our own people, in the same lines of endeavor. As long as we are not ashamed to do such;—just so long we will be guilty of such unreasonable and prideless conduct. Then, "On"—to and for—the best method of bringing about this sense of shame in the rank and file of the race. We have talked and preached up one thing,—Let's us do some more.) I have given my idea and notion, which is, Commence Right Now, to Believe in, and to Talk, to Preach and to Teach; and to Live and to Act,—CO-OP-E-RA-TION. Who has anything better? Speak right out in the next issue. UNCLE IKE.

NUMBER·2 5 NEW CHURCHES ON THEIR WAY TO COMPLETION Kansas City, Kansas, could well take the name, "The City of Churches." At this time, with the high cost of labor and material, five new colored churches are on their way to completion, and not one of them are of the cheap kind by any means. The First Baptist church, at the corner of Fifth street and Nebraska avenue, has been under roof some little time and is now ready for the inside finish. Rev. W. A. Bowren is pastor of this splendid edifice. The C. M. E. church at-the corner of Eighth and Oakland is under way of completion and will be one of the finest churches when finished, in the Conference. Rev. H. L. Bolden is pastor and builder of this houses of worship.

Sawyer is its sturdy Christian pastor and builder, and when completed it will take first place in this conference. The fifth church to go to completion is the Walnut Boulevard Baptist church, an octagon, imitation stone building of God. It will be a beauty when finished. Rev. J. Richardson is the architect, builder, and pastor of this much admired church. The combined cost of these churches will run up in the hundred thousands of dollars. Where is there a people or city who can beat it? DR. H. FRANKLIN BRAY, ROCKY MOUNTAIN EVANGELIST, RETURNS FROM CANADA Dr. H. Franklin Bray closed a four weeks' campaign in Halifax, Nova Scotia, last Sunday night and returned to his home at 446 Bowen avenue, Chicago, on Friday afternoon.

The evangelist will spend the remainder of this month in resting and preparing for the fall campaigns at his summer cottage in Idlewild, Michigan. WALKER WINS. Sam Walker, Republican candidate for marshal of North City Court, won out in the official count by 61 votes. The ticket this fall will have two race candidates on it in Wyandotte county. J. H.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. AND HE NEVER CAME BACK! Pursuing Swimmer Had No Idea of Letting a Chance Like That Get Away From Him. There were mutinous murmurs aboard a certain merchantman when word spread among the crew that the ship would not, after all, put in at Tahiti, but merely drop the mall over and go on. Tahiti, being French soil, is a little island of liquor in mid-Pacific, and the thirsty men aboard had been lying awake nights thinking of the drinks that lay ahead. The disappointment was too much for one seaman, who, uttering a plaintive cry, leaped into the sea and started to swim for the visible shore. The captain, much vexed and a little envious, ordered the best swimmer in the crew to go after him and bring him back before he reached land. An excited lookout kept all on deck posted on the progress of the race. "He's gaining! He's gaining! Two hundred yards—a hundred yards—fifty yards. In a dozen strokes he'll have him. Five more strokes!" A yard to go. * * * Great guns!" "What is it? What is it?" "Great guns, sir, he's passed him!" —American Legion Weekly. A Cubist Difficulty Blasco Ibanez, the Spanish novelist, was talking in New York about the cubists. "I know a cubist in Madrid," he said, "who paints portraits that look like eggs, chains, bottles, rocks—anything but the models they are painted from. "I dropped in on this cubist in his studio one morning, and found him examining with low, troubled oaths some 20 or 30 of his masterpieces. "What's the matter, old man?" I said. "The matter is," said he, "that Don Mucho Denaro, the oil profiteer, has just sent around for his portrait, and to save my life I can't remember which it is." Too Good to Work. A tall ancestral clock stood upon the mantelpiece in a Southern home, faithful to its duty. It had run uninterruptedly for years. On a holiday occasion the maid, an old-time negro, decorating the house with holly and mistletoe, furnished the clock with a particularly brilliant wreath, and as she said, dressed it up for the occasion. The next morning when she came to work, the faithful old clock had stopped. She stood before it, arms akimbo, and apostrophized it: "I knowed you was going to stop, clock! You is just like a nigger—no sooner 'n you gets all dressed up, you think you is too good to work." HANG OLD HIGH The Way to Do This is Become a We can sell you valuable, unimp on most liberal terms.

Wednesday, prayer meeting, 7:30 P. M. Friday class meeting 8 P. M. CHURCH NEWS Sunday brought out a large congregation of worshippers. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, filled his pulpit both morning and evening. Both sermons were of a high spiritual order and especially the evening discourse, when the audience were set on fire by the Holy Ghost sermon delivered by His Apostle. Men and women arose from their seats and gave God the glory. First Church will be honored Sunday with two of its distinguished bishops. Bishop W. T. Vernon will preach at the 11 o'clock service and Bishop H. Blanton Parks, the presiding bishop of this, the Fifth Episcopal, District, will preach at the evening service. Both of these Gospel ministers are powers in the pulpit. Come and hear these two great churchmen. The Senior Choir, with Mrs. Ophelia Jackson, organist, director, rendered exceptionally sweet music at the morning service, and the Junior Choir, with Prof. Wise at the organ, and director, rendered equally as fine music at the evening service. These two choirs are alternating each Sunday, the Senior in the morning and the Junior at the evening service. The two iced sanitary drinking fountains, one in the north east lobby and the other in the southwest lobby of the church are both beautiful and cooling to the thirsty drinker. They are highly appreciated by the patrons of the church. One can stop in any time of the day and be refreshed by a cool drink. The Annual Conference is only a few weeks off, and the pastor is asking the members to hand in their dollar money at once, so he can make up the roll for his Conference report, and have the names of all who pay ready to be printed in the Conference Minutes. Dr. Griffin, with his Junior Choir and a large number of his congregation had charge of the services at Rev. Moses Williams' tent meeting Thursday night at the corner of Group avenue and North Third street. Sunday was also good from the temporal side, some over $200 being reported for the day. The Official Board held its meeting Monday night, with a fair attendance of stewards and leaders. The leaders reported quite a few of their members being on the sick roll. The church is asked to pray 'for them, and call to see and inquire about them. Now is the time they would enjoy your visit. He Knew. A western youngster who attends an eastern college came home recently for a few days. His mother, of course, cooked up all his special dishes and the youngster rejoiced as he sat down to the well-filled table. "Till tell you, John," began his father, beaming at the boy, "the happiest time in most people's lives is right when they are eating, isn't it?" John looked at mother, who had acted as cook, and then at the rest of his family. "Yes, it is," he agreed, "provided that they are eating with some people for whom they actually care." THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES At 11 a. m., the pastor preached an enjoyable sermon to a large congregation. The choir sang nicely and all were enthusiastic and gave a large collection. The Mission Circle and B. Y. U. P. held their meetings and at 8 p. m., another large crowd came to worship, and the collection was increased to a higher mark. Thursday evening Excelsior Club gave an auto excursion to Garner's Grove. Next Sunday, August 15th, after you have prayed in your secret come to 6 o'clock prayer meeting and to Sunday school andchurch. If you can't come to all, come to one or two at least.

Elder B. M. Campbell, Pastor. On last Sunday night a big revival started for the purpose of saving sculs for Christ.

The married lady at the wedding party wiped her eyes and grasped the bride's hands fervently. "Oh, my dear," she said feelingly, "I only hope that Mr. Dinwaddle and you will be as happy as my husband and I are. Through all the twenty years of our married life we have continued to use to each other the dear little pet names of our engagement days." Then the married guest went home and found hubby waiting for his supper. "Amella, my angel," he snapped, "it's about time you did get home! I want some supper!" "Don't you ever think of anything except eating, darling?" asked the lady with a sour look. "Don't talk like an idiot, little sugar plum; I'm hungry!" was the reply. "Well, ducksy, you've been hungry before, and I expect you'll be hungry again, so you needn't be disagreeable about it. And don't dare to call me an idiot, fluffkins; I don't like it!" As she spoke she grappled with a can of salmon which she was opening for his supper. SMALL COMFORT FOR TITUS Mr. Titmouse Might Have Felt Better Had He Not Called on News-paper Editor. Titus Titmouse was infuriated, but the editor of the Western Wind shut him up in two seconds. "Is this the newspaper office?" inquired Mr. Titmouse. "It Is," responded the man at the desk. "Didn't this paper say I was a liar?" "It did not." "Didn't it say I was a scoundrel?" "It did not." "Well, some paper said it." "Possibly it was our contemporary down the street," suggested the editor, as he picked up a paperweight. "This paper never prints stale news."—Los Angeles Times. Mr. Charles Lee, 1050 Freeman avenue, who has been sick, is improvniig. WHAT UNION (From The Labor Bulletin, Kansas City, Kansas) The election gave numerous political surprises. John H. Lee, Republican candidate for representative from the Ninth district, was in bad favor with the machine political leaders of the county. Lee carries a union card in his pocket and had the endorsement of the Central Labor Union. He ran so far ahead of his opponent that he could have thrown away half his votes and then won. While Lee is a colored man, he is a square one, and color doesn't go with the labor movement. Mr. Lee is an officer in a packing house union, and is liked by union men of both races, as is shown by the fact that he ran "wild" in a district where but few colored voters reside. Another good colored man, Forrest B. Anderson, was steam-rollered by the local Republican machine. Mr. Anderson is not a member of organized labor. The Getty-Ridgway fight is an example of a man trying to serve two masters. Getty was on the fence in the industrial court fight, while Ridgway was for it. Between the two the union men preferred the man who fought in the open. Ridgway was nominated. At previous sessions he had shown a favorable attitude toward labor while Getty hadn't. The union men voting the Republican ticket put over a quiet joke on a former union man. U. G. Gates, register of deeds, had an element against him in his own party. Cecil Vallade, a former member of organized labor, persauded the Sartin wing of the local Republican machine to back him in a campaign against Gates. Gates had antagonized the colored Republican votes by refusing to appoint any of their race to places in his office. Vallede probably would have been nominated weer it not for the fact that he had been expelled from his union several months before for conduct unbecoming a union man. He failed to tell this fact to his Republican machine backers. One can almost calculate the number of labor union men voting the Republican ticket in the primaries by counting the votes Vallade did not get. Billy Bird, Republican candidate for county assessor, and a union machinist, ran away from his opponent. Billy was opposed by most of the banks, the packing house interests, the serum plant owners and the grain men who will pay to the county treasury this fall enough money to carry the current expenses of his department for 1920, over and above their sworn statements, by the increase he successfully landed against them in a contest carried to the state tax commission and won by Bird; and interests who had successfully dodged the assessors who served previously to his entry into the court house. But Bird had the backing of two strong elements, the negro voters, to whose race he had been fair, and the labor union men. By the way, Bird's only advertising was done in The Bulletin and in the Advocate, the colored newspaper of the city. He depended upon the small home owners to nominate him. The big interests could not muster enough votes to down him. Mrs. John Collins entertained Mrs. Jennie Taylor of St. Louis in an automobile ride over the boulevards and in the two Kansas Citys.

The thing to be explained is that of the ten members which Winnipeg will have in the provincial assembly four are men who were accused of seditious conspiracy. Only two are conservatives belonging to the party which, according to reports, was attempting to save Canada from a red revolution, and four are liberal conservatives and the labor group. Three of the men elected are in jail. Either at least half of the voters of Winnipeg are in favor of the revolution and like to be represented by criminals, or these voters do not believe what has been said about the Winnipeg strike of a year ago, and do not believe that both the court and the law under which the labor leaders were convicted violated fundamental justice. The first explanation seems too far-fetched to be worth anything. It is much more easy to believe that the hue and cry of disloyalty was set up in Winnipeg to stampede the people into supporting the profiteers, as has been done in so many other parts of the world. The men on the ground could see better than we could what has been going on and they have had some time to think it over. Their opinion as expressed by their votes should be worth more to us than all the noise of the "kept" press. It is also significant that our daily papers have had little to say about this-recent Winnipeg election. Seattle, Wash., presents a situation in many respects similar to that of Winnipeg. Its former mayor, Ole Hanson, was praised throughout the country as saving the city and perhaps America from revolution. Within a year the Hanson regime was overthrown and now the city council of Seattle has voted money to investigate the methods whereby the Hanson clique unloaded a street car system on the city for a great deal more than it was worth.—Ellsworth (Kas.)

CURED HER FITS Lrs. Paul Gram, residing at 916 Fourth Street, Milwaukee, Wis., recently gave out the following statement: "I had suffered with Fits (Epilepsy) for over fourteen years. Doctors and medicine did me no good. It seemed that I was beyond all hope of relief, when at last I secured a preparation that cured me sound and well. Over ten years have passed and the attacks have not returned. I wish everyone who suffers from this terrible disease would write R. P N. Lepso, 194 Island Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis., and ask for a bottle of the same kind of medicine which he gave me. He has generously promised to send it postpaid, free, to anyone who writes him."—Adv. It isn't always a compliment to the baby to say it looks like its parents. A babbling brook is probably called so because it can't keep its mouth shut. Only a very brave youth would attempt to steal a kiss from an unfair maid. Sobriety may not increase the wisdom of the world, but it gives it a better chance. A brilliant conversationalist is in danger of falling into a belief in art for art's sake. Look pleasant, even if you force a laugh. Life's always taking your photograph. A man's first conviction of his importance comes when a newspaper interviews him. About the only fault the average woman has to find with her past is that it's too long. Black, green, brown and white amber, as well as the yellow variety, is sometimes found. Don't boast of what you can do unless you are willing to take off your coat and make good. Yes, Hazel, dear, repartee during courtship develops into plain back talk after marriage. A married man's idea of heaven is a place where wives do not ask their husband for money. If you train servants in the way they should go, the first thing you know they are gone. If a man is born lucky he discovers the hole in his pocket before he puts any dimes into it. Cheerfulness and content are great beautifiers and are famous preservers of youthful looks.—Dickens. Make your chart before you start. Know what you're after before you start out for it.—H. Kaufman. I hate to see things done by halves. If it be right, do it boldly; if it be wrong, leave it undone.—Gilpin. No girl can successfully chew peanut brittle and nurse a case of disappointed love at the same time. Courtesy is the eye which overlooks your friend's broken gateway but sees the rose that blossoms in his garden. If all men were compelled to practice what they preach the majority of them would discontinue preaching. And the average injured woman would doubtless spend more money if her husband had any more to spend. Pete Johnson, carpenter on the farm, was on the meridows of Hoboken looking for game. He walked around a half day, and, finding nothing, he started for home, meeting a cow which he shot at and missed. It was his last shot, so Pete was out of luck when he met a bear, which chased him a half mile to a friendly oak tree. The bear and Pete circled the tree until both were becoming exhausted. Then Pete grabbed the bear's paws and held them around the tree until the bear died of starvation. They had bear meat at the farm and the skin of Bruno adorns the farm gates. Note —The recent storm prevented us from verifying this item. We hope it is true.—Unidentified. Loton Horton, the milk king, was talking at A New York dinner about the modern woman's "ultra" gowns. "A profiteer," he said, "was dressing the other evening for the opera when his wife stalked into his dressing room. "Here you are,' she hissed, 'a war profiteer getting 300 per cent dividends, and I've only got one decent dress.' He turned and looked her up and down; then he said: "Well, I wish to goodness you'd wear it!" Dr. Pillers' Handicap "I understand that young Dr. Pillers had a hard time getting established here." "So he did." "What was the trouble?" "Chiefly the fact that his whiskers wouldn't grow fast." "Indeed?" "Yes. It took him about four years to raise a respectable Vandyke beard." —Birmingham Age-Herald. Her Viewpoint. "If I were rich you'd marry me quick enough." "Thank you, Freddie! That's the nicest thing you ever said to me, and it is so unusual." "Why—er, what—" "You, and a lot of others, have paid compliments to my beauty, but that is the first time any young man has ever given me credit for common sense." Yes, you will pay a 50-cent "meter rate" when you pay your next gas bill. All the city officials "protests" against the increase were mere camouflage, as The Bulletin said a few weeks ago. There is no way, under present circumstances, by which the people who pay bills have any representation in the make believe "fights" between themselves and profteering corporations. City officials "protest" just enough to get their names in the daily papers. Then the increase goes into effect.

A. was unable to get the money, other less popular movements need have small hope. -It must be admitted that the recent drive came after a number of others, which overlapped and so wearied the public. This seems to be part of the postwar reaction. During hostilities America became accustmode to "giving until it hurt." In fact, America rather enjoyed the "pain" as a sort of vicarious offering to be compared with the real sacrifices of the A. E. F. Idealism was popular and gifts for worthy causes appealed to aroused imaginations. Just now we are in the backward, The pendulum has swung to the other extreme. "Drives" will have to be abandoned for the present. But the lessons learned in the war drives should not be forgotten. Thorough organization, popularization of a good cause, appeals to imagination and idealism will again serve when the pendulum swings back. Meanwhile the plight of the Salvation Army should be a matter of deep concern to the public.New York World. CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING. Manhattan, Kans., July 28. The middleman must go. American farmers are tired of seeing the price of cereals they grow multiplied by five or six from the time it leaves their hands until it reaches the table of the consumer. Beginning with 1922 the farmers of the Middle West will market their own grain co-operatively. At a meeting called by the American Farm Bureau Federation in Chicago last week it was decided J. R. Howard, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, should appoint a committee of seventeen to formulate a co-operative plan to handle all grain grown in this section of the country. The plan will be submitted to the different co-operative marketing associations for their approval. It is expected it will take two years to get the plans worked out and the system in operation. The postoffice department has for years used newspapers for its own publicity, while never failing to charge every cent for its service to the papers. This fact was called to the attention of the newspaper publishers forcibly the other day when a notice was received asking for clerks and stenographers in the department in Washington, which the newspapers of the city were asked to publish. At the rate The Bulletin charges advertisers the notice would have paid $6.20 per week. But one newspaper of the city "bit" and that one has less than 500 subscribers. This plan of bilking the newspapers for free space was inaugurated during President Grant's administration. Local postoffice officials are not at fault in the matter. "I can breathe easier now." "What's happened?" "The laudlord called for his rent today." "Well." "And he went away without leaving notice that next month he would charge us $20 a month more. Perhaps he has gotten over his rent-raising fever." WESTERN UNIVERSITY THE GREAT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION OF THE MID-WEST The location is ideal. near Kansas City.

Mrs. Jackson's Epileptic Fits [Signature] No wonder Mrs. Jackson is anxious to have the whole world know what Dr. Kline's Epileptic Remedy did for her. Doctors tried and failed to help her. Fifteen convulsions in three hours is a terrific experience. But Mrs. Jackson is well now. Read how it all happened: Gentlemen: About six years ago I was taken with convulsions. I had fifteen convulsions in about three hours. I had two doctors with me and they worked for some time, then I was sent to the hospital and there I laid for three weeks before knew where I was hospital for four weeks. Then my husband took me home. Every year after that I would have several attacks of convulsions. A little over two years ago when I had four very hard convulsions, at one time, a lady friend told me that Dr. Dimmel was very apprehensive to try anything as I was troubled so severely, I got one bottle and took it and it made me feel a little better, so my husband said to continue it, which did, and at the present time I will tell you that I will help anybody that has that kind of trouble, I hope they will take your Epileptic Remedy, as I believe it will cure them as it has cured me. Yours very truly. (Signed) Mrs. W. G.
