Christmas Bazaar at the Church of the Ascension, Stewart Avenue and Third Street COME! December 17-18. Delicious Menu and Christmas Novelties COME! KANSAS WE WISH OUR FRIENDS A MERRY CHRISTMAS A. B. DEUTCH DRY GOODS, SHOES AND READY TO WEAR 507 Minnesota Avenue VOLUME VII CALDWELL LUNCH COUNTERWOULD NOT SERVE HER Educated Race Woman Refused Service at Kansas Railway Hotel Fort Worth, Texas.—I believe you will agree with me that I am one more moving man, and that I have been going some in the past few days, and yet it is nothing to what it is going to be, so you just keep your eyes upon me, and I will let you see just how fast I can move around in this world. I was in Beaumont, Texas, and beat it from there to Texarkana and from there to St. Louis, Mo., to be at the opening of Poro college annex, which put over half a million dollars in one building and all paid for. There I met many of my friends, and even the editor of this paper was there and shook my ill black hand, making me welcome. Mrs. Malone was as happy as could be, and J. Finley Wilson was there from Washington, and J. H. Murphy from Baltimore, Fred Moore from New York, and I was there from the places I had been before I got there. Getting through with Poro, I packed my things together and left Sunday night for Kansas City. I pulled out over the Rock Island, taking a bed car and going to bed, and I wished you could have heard that old engine and then heard me. It is hard to tell where the noise was coming from, and I did not try. I snorted and puffed, and so did the old iron horse, and you would have thought that both of us were going to die with-the-eagle or some other kind of stomach trouble. In my grunting I was asleep, but that old iron horse was just pushing and pulling, spitting flames of fire from his nostrils. He acted just like he was crazy, and they tell me that it is necessary for him to do that in order that he may get around and make time. It is a mighty poor way, but I just put up with it just the same, and made it to port. Reaching Kansas City, I was a real sick man, and beat it over to Mrs. Norene Davis, but she was out. She had gone over to the stable to meet me, for she heard I was sick, and she was going to do all she could for me. When I found her away, I went then to the home of Mrs. Mabel Sainclair, a young woman from Mississippi, and who has a husband that is a gentleman, every inch of him. These young people are struggling as many other young people have done, in the purchase of a home, and they are working together, and as loving as two little children. Mrs. Sinclair, discovering that I was sick, and she made me some bitter tea which I sent to my eternity, and next had me to take a nap for a few minutes. Dr. G. McNeal came for me and tooted me over to see Dr. S. H. Thompson, who is at the head of the Knights of Pythias for Kansas. He put his head to my chest, and listened to my time beating, and then he took a little glass something out of a case, placed it under my tongue, said he was taking my temptation, but discovered that I did not have any of that, but said I should go to bed. I thought that going to bed would mean going there to die, but that was not my time for that, I asked him to let me ride around with him, which he did, so if death should knock he was there to tell the story of how it happened. Dr. Thompson knows his business, and got the medicine, went over to Kansas City, Mo., and landed me right at the home of Mrs. Norene Davis. Dr. Thompson, who is at the head of the Knights of Pythias, was my doctor, and Mrs. Norene Davis, TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. who is at the head of the Court of Calanthe for the state, was my nurse, Rev. George McNeal my spiritual father, Tilford Davis, Jr., the poet, my poet, and here I am in luxury for a spell of sickness of 12 hours. I must have been one more sick man, because Mrs. Davis watched me until 3 o'clock in the morning, giving me medicine and watching my time piece. I got a relapse, for the next morning I was up and ready for the stable to leave for this place. I made it over all by myself, got my trunks checked for this place, and the other trunk checked for Heaven, but I did not make the trip this time. I made it through, though. In the stable I met Miss Nora B.Hyder, who was returning from Washington, where she had filled a position as typist in the War Risk Insurance; stenographer in the National Benefit Life Insurance, Washington, and later a clerk in the Census Bureau. She had resigned and was on her way to Boley to take up some social work there, and to return to Washington in a short time as a representative. She has high ideals and is indeed a working young woman. Just think of it, we have a woman who is right now preparing to go to Congress. Miss Hyder is a well educated woman, and knows the affairs of her country. I wish you could have heard her ringing out to me the defects in the League, the pet baby of our President. She is well posted on it, and then she knows about other affairs of state, and I for one would like to see her in Congress, and she is going there. It will take a little time. Oklahoma will yet get back to its own. I had some eats from Kansas City and some from Poro college, hence I did not need to get out when they cried at Caldwell, "Twenty-five minutes for dinner." Miss Hyder had been riding in the bed car and she went in to eat, but came out as mad as a wet hen, because they had refused to serve her in the eating room. She is going to look into it. This is the state of Governor Allen, free Kansas. Well, this was the changing place, and she left the bed car and took quarters, in our first-class end of a smoking car. I chatted with her until she got off at El Reno going to Boley, and I continued on down here. Reaching town, I went direct to the home of Dr. N. T. Willis, the man who is one of the best tooth dentist doctors in the country, and believe me honey, he is doing something. The people have paid him as much as $1500 in a week for putting half sores on teeth. I recall when that young man came out of Mcharry Medical college, he did not have enough money to buy a jack rabbit a walking suit, and a fellow had to fit it so that he could go look up a location. In this poverty stricken condition he found his way to Fort Worth, got together money enough to get an office, without paying all of the first month's rent. In this condition he met Miss Bertha Sims, a taecher in the high school. She looked at him, and he looked at her, and he told her that his mission was not to make doll cloth, or to do quilting, but he was looking for a wife. He had nothing but a profession, health and ambition. He could not promise her a home, then, for he did not have one, but he needed a companion and she accepted the hand of an honest man. They did not rent, but borrowed a house in which to live, and they started out together 10 years ago. As a result they have three children, Charles Oscar is the oldest, a boy 9 years, and there are two girls, 7 and 5 years old. What else? Recently he has erected a fine two-story home with 8 rooms, all modern improvements, everything that goes to make a comfortable home, a court, an automobile and they drive right into the house, so to speak. He is as busy as a man can be, and they are happy. They tell me that he is devoted to his own children and all the other children around, and give them rides from time to time. Mrs. Willis is conducting her own little kindergar- Open Letter From Homestead Development Association 1314 North Fifth Street Kansas City, Kansas, Dec. 10th, 1920.

She knows how to use the rod when necessary, and if you don't believe it, ask Charles Oscar. This is where Bishop William Decker Johnson is holding the North Texas conference, and I wish you could hear the men say good things about this great man. It was fortunate that the church laid hands on him when he could rehder some real good service, and not wait until his foot was in the grave, and trot him out in the bishopric. He is young, active, vigorous and full of pep which he is putting into the work. Bishop Johnson is accompanied by his wife, and his brother has been over here also, but has returned home. Prof. A. S. Jackson, that refined, cultured young educator, is on hand, and he is giving them the benefit of his wisdom, of his able advice. The men who are looking for promotion in this section of the country are many, and if the general conference will listen, the general officers and bishops for the next twenty years will come from Texas. The state is going to get its share, but not so many. It would just mention a few of them. Revs. P. C. Hunt, H. A. Carr, G. B. Young, D. S. Morton, E. J Howard, would like to be bishops; S. J. Johnson, church extension secretary; H. S. Sims, financial secretary; W. D.

Mr. Crump was one of our old citizens and stood high among the Pullman porters, as well as the officials, of which he had been an employee for 28 years, and had for many years, run on the Missouri Pacific between Kansas City and Lincoln, Nebraska. His service card, when examined, disclosed the fact that he had the cleanest record of any man in the service. Mr. Crump had not done, as many of his fellow porters, but saved his money and at the time of his death owned several pieces of valuable real estate and a number of lots. He had long been a consistent communicant, of the Episcopal church. The funeral was held at the home, Friday, November 26, at 2 o'clock p. m., Father Wright officiating. He leaves a devoted wife, a daughter, Leah, who is in her third year at Kansas University, and one sister, Mrs. H. R. Stines, 439 Walker avenue. The Advocate extends its sympathy to the bereaved in their hour of sorrow. Miss Patterson of Muskogee, Okla., is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Smedley, her uncle and aunt, on Washington boulevard. Mrs. S. Rollins visited her husband at the Soldiers' Home in Leavenworth this week. Mrs. Charles; Slaughter was called to Murfreesboro, Tenn., last Friday by wire to the bedside of her father. best man the church has ever had; and A. S. Jackson, the best educational men.

G. A. GREGG, CRANE & SON. The Crane store at 622 Minnesota avenue, the leading women's wear house in the city, put on sale Wednesday morning, for a nine-day December bargain offering in Ladies' Suits and Coats, that is breaking all records as to price and quality. There is certainly one business firm who has returned back to normalcy, and in some garments considerably below pre-war prices. This house has made good because Mr. Crane knows how to buy and only wants a fair return on his investment. Neither does this house Jim crow our people, like some do on the Missouri side, and then pay more. ENTERTAINS SON. Mrs. Ophelia Gilford gave a delightful dinner in honor of her son, John Gilford, it beng his birthday. It was given at the residence of her son, George Gilford, 2722 North Allis. Covers were laid for sixteen. A huge birthday cake decorated with candies was greatly admired by the guests. Some of those present were Mrs. Anna Cox, Mr. and Mrs. Plough, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph, Mrs. Mary Bruce, Mr. and Mrs. Olie Jenkins, Major Thos. Gilford, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Gilford and Mrs. Henrietta Tellis. A very pleasant and enjoyable evening was spent. BARBER CUTS PRICES. R.B.Brown, proprietor of one of our leading shaving parlors at Fifth street and Oakland avenue, has reduced his hair cuts from 50 cents to 40 cents; shaves at 20 cents and all other work proportionately reduced. Mr. Brown has on his first chair a Chicago barber, and it is said, he is some hair cutter. Brown says he is the prince of hair cutters, and only asks to be given a trial to convince you.

Third Street COME! EXHIBITS A NEW MACHINE GUN IN KANSAS CITY, KS. Race Man Invents New and Improved War- fare Electrical Machine. Mr. Clarence Gregg of Caldwell, Texas, an inventor of the Gregg Machine Gun, exhibited his marvelous invention to a large audience Monday night at First A. M. E. church corner of Eighth street and Nebraska avenue. Mr. Gregg has been four years completing this gun, when it was completed a short time ago, in Kansas City, Mo., coming here about six months ago. It is a wonderful piece of mechanism, firing fifty balls at a time, firing and reloading automatically by electricity, nearly in the twinklign of an eye. A reservoir water cooler is installed, the water operating around the barrels when in action, on the same principal as the blood traveling through the human body, returning to the reservoir. Mr. Gregg expects to leave this week for Washington, to demonstrate his rapid firing gun to the government, when he probably will sell it. He was granted a patent some months ago. The gun was also exhibited at Summer night school and Argentine night school this week. This model is only a miniature piece to compare with the full size gun, it weighing only 170 pounds. The standard gun, when mounted, will weigh 2,500 pounds. Mr. Gregg has received several communications from foreign governments as to the possibility of buying his invention, but he is giving his own country the first refusal, being a great lover of his native land. His brother, Charles Gregg, is his assistant. Dr. G. E. Horsey, who for a num- of years was one of this city's popu- lar and successful physicians, but who went into the ministry some five years ago and at the present time is pastoring in Kansas City, Mo., has been drawn on so heavily by patients of this side, that he has opened an office at 516 Minnesota avenue. Mr. Howard Berry stopped off a few days to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Berry, 742 Oakland avenue on his way from Denver to the East. Mr. Berry is a fine singer and is with a high-class company. Mrs. J. T. Smith of Lawrence visit- ed her daughter, Alberta, the week end, at Western University and rela- tives and friends in the city.

As for the girl, if ‘she's the one who put mutiny into ‘the quartermaster’s head, I’m voting in favor‘of leaving her with the tug.” “So am 1,” I replied, and then, as the tug was almost below the bridge and about twenty yards away, I called to its skipper: “Want more hot water?” “This man here says you're kid napping a man, and he asks if you will be kind enough to let him come aboard the tug and get back to San Francisco.” “Who is he?” I enquired. The captain consulted the young man a moment and then replied: “His name is Person.” I was turning to send Crawfrod to tell Doctor Rountree to come up, when the gentleman came upon the bridge. . “The man on the tug wants Per son, Doctor Rountree,” I explained. | “I'd rather not, captain,” he said. “shoy, you tug captain!” I called. “You can’t have anyene from the ‘Cleo, Make a bee line back to port.

An hour later theit smoke was a sinudge on the horizon. I left Crawford on the bridge and went below. Doctor Rountree was ir his cabin. A huge Negro was serv ng him with a drink.

He discovers that the car car- ‘ying him to the vessel is in charge of a young lady who wears 2 chauf- feur’s uniform. Unseen forces try to prevent them reaching the vessel. They are arrested and taken to a police station. They are released by the desk sergeant in charge when the girl impersonates the daughter of a Prominent politcal “boss.” March- nks attempts to pay a second chauffeur and is accused of passing counterfeit money. Finally they reach the vessel, the “Cleo.” 1 Before the girl had reached the water in her leap I had signaled and the propellers were stopped. The Cleg was a twin-screw vessel, and the propellers of such boats have a nasty suction which takes anyone who leaps overboard from about mnidships and mangles the body until it is unrecognizable. I watched for the body to come up and as soon as it did, I signaled the engineer to back, at the same time instructing the new helsman to put the rudder hard over, But before the vessel had time to back, the little tug dashed to the girl, a rope was thrown to her and she was pulled aboard. ‘The young man met her as she came on deck. With a shake like a wet Gog she threw the water from her. Then she turned and shook her fist at me. Yn this the young man joined her. Crawford, by this time, had joined me on the bridge. “Did the girl fall overboard?” he asked. “The engineer was so intent on the * hot-water-cure for hoarders that he answered that ‘stop’ order more from force of habit than any thing else.” “The girl leaped overboard.

Excitement had caused me to forget that Ihad eaten nothing since breakfast. “At what time to we dine, Doctor Rountree?” I asked. ““Jt’s a strange question to ask, I know, but you will pardon me.” “How soon will dinner be served, Archie?” the doctor asked the Negro. “Within half an hour, sir,” the darkey replied. : I rose. “You can show me my “eabin,” I said to Archie. “With pleasure,” he said. I fol Towed him from: the cabin. The one allotted to me was just opposite that occupied by the leader of the expe dition, “I trust you will find every- thing as you wish, Captain March- banks,” the Negro said. I looked at him, somewhat surprised, for my previous acquaintance with men of his color had been those who were common Jaborers. In my time at sea’ I never shipped a darkey as seaman. I had shipped many who were not the equal of the -darkies, but some- how or other none of his color had served under me. “Are you with Doctor Rountree or one of the seamen?” [ asked. He busied himself placing things at rights. A glance showed me the place was furnished more elabo- | rately than the usual captain's berth abroad a tramp steamer. | “I am one of Doctor Rouniree’s confidential men.” he replied. “While I am 4&cting ‘n the capacity of his || personal servant, and will be pleased to serve you us well, I have the rey- ferend gentleman's confidence and [hope I may prove worthy of it.” | “Your name?” | “arehtbald Levering.” {| “If I address you as Archibald it will be all r'ght, I suppose?” | “Yes, sir” : “What part of the states do you hai) from, Archibald?” J asked. “Like the doctor, Ym from Kan- sas.” “J thovgnt he came from Utah,” “T believe we stopped over at a | ctation in that state twenty minutes, | ct sshich time we ate lunch.” | “But I am sure Doctor Rountree "1 fave me a card on which was printed * an addiess in Utah, and, acording q to the card. he purported to be the ,| pastor of a Presbyterian church.” “The reverend doctor has been compelled to assume various dis- I guises and apzellations during the ‘Jagt few wegks.

Miss Roun- tree, the elder, came to the table, Arvhibsid served her with a cup of | tea, which she drank in silence and .| then retired. I saw nothing of the [ others. “Do you think we will have fair weather on the trip down the coast?” Miss Rountree asked. “J think so,” I replied. “At this season of the year we have little to fear from foul weather. The lat- ter part of the cruise is all I am anx- ious about. I'm trying to forget it until I get to it” ’ “What part is that?” “Getting into tbe Ocos river,” J explained. “We'll have to go in af- tér cark. The searchlight is placed op the bridge. If we use it, every- ane in Parto Ocos will see some thing strange, and those Guatemala. tivens are as gabby as a Woman’s A’d Association member.

He walked to a place just opposite where we sat, and made ‘what was intended for a military sa- lute. “Mr. Crawford wishes me to in- form you, Captain Marchbanks,” he said, “that Mr. ‘Person and the quartermaster you had put in irons this afternoon are missing.

It wouldn't be quite within the Jaw, I was well aware, nor would it be ethical, but it would be safer, and I was, while on the hihg seas, responsible for the vessel | commanded. I did not want to show the Negro’ that I was re- lieved to hear the news he grought, however, and I asked sternly: “Can the boat be seen?” “No, sir.” . I got up from the table. “I'll see Crawford and have him explain why he didn’t see -that better watch was kept.” Miss Rounthee detained me. “Tell Mr. Crawford and father that Captain Marchbanks will be up in a few minutes.” The Negro left and I sat down. “Will you be angry, captain, if I tell you something?” the girl asked. “Not at all,” I assured her. Well, while you were excited about the tug and throwing hot water at them, and all that, I bribed three sailois to belp lower the boat and I released the men and saw them safe away from the Clea. I know you will think he inhuman, but the hap- piest moment I huve experienced since this expedition started was when Misa, Person leaped overboard. They were spies of Fred’s. Fred, yeu know, had a vessel leased or chartered, or whatever you call it, to go on this expedition and beat father out. By a mere fluke we learned of his 2!ans, and all the time he was supposed to be helping us. Rut his vessel hal to deliver a cargo of lumber own the bay before he came into posses-lon, Father, by merc accident, got the Cleo and here we are. I have no dozbt but that Fred will come after us. “Does he krow the location of what we are going after?” “Y thing Miss Person came abourd to finyl out.” “Do you think she discovered any- thing?” “{ have my doubts about it!” “It will he inquisitive on my part to ask just why this expedition ever sailed?” J insinuated. “It would be very inquisitive. My father will tell you in good time, if you are 2 member of the land party. If von are not you may never know anything about itt.” ‘ “My curiosity prompts me to vol- unteer for the land party.” “My common sense tells me to take you. Do not fail to practice shoot- ing. Let's go above now.’ I relieved Cravford and we ar- ranged watches. J would stand until eigh tbells, or midnight. He yrould then stand watch until sometime in the morning. During the day time we would divide the time as suited our convenience. In this way the loss of the second mate would not cause any inconvenience. I called ithe quartermaster to his place on the bridge and while the vessel went ithrough the quiet water I questioned ‘him. He proved to be an able se1- man of ripe experience and could have stood a watch himself if the necessity required. He assured me there were several able seamen on board who could act as quartermas- ters. He had but recently shipped boar? the Cleo and could give no in- formation regarding the man whom i ‘had caused -to be put in irons and | who had escaped with Mr. Person. He gave me a comprehensive review of the crew, as he knew them, ever to the stokers.

Prescriptions a Specialty Free Delivery BOTH PHONES 77 534 MINNESOTA AVENUE Small reductions in the price of single articles of food will have very little effect upon the cost of living to the average wage earner, Ethelbert Stewart, commissioner of labor statistics, said, in reply to inquiries as to the effect on the average family of price reductions that have taken place in the past three months. "There was a drop of 1 cent in the price of a loaf of bread in New York the other day," said Mr. Stewart, "that is, the price fell from 10 cents to 9 cents per loaf. Now let us see what this much heralded reduction in the cost of living really means to the average worker with a fimly of five. On the basis of October, 1920, prices, the total annual cost of food items carried by the bureau of labor statistics would be to an average family in the United States $682.57. "If bread were to drop a cent a pound this would make a difference of $2.25 per year, or one-third of 1 per cent of the total food expenditure. When milk drops 1 cent a quart it means $3.55 per year to the average family, or 52-100 of 1 per cent. A drop of a cent a pound in the price of flour saves the average family $4.54, or 77-100 of 1 per cent of its food cost, based on October prices. Sugar may fall 1 cent a pound and the average family saves $2.69 in a year, or 39-100 of 1 per cent of the total food cost. A decline of 1 cent a pound in the retail price of sirloin steak means but 70 cents a year to the average workman's family, though a similar reduction in pork chops would mean $1,14 a year, or 17-100 of 1 per cent. "If butter should decline 1 cent a pound, the average workman would gain only to the extentt of 1.17 per year. "A drop of 1 cent a dozen in eggs would mean 85 cents a year; of 1 cent a pound on lard would mean 84 cents per year, in each case only 12-100 of 1 per cent. A drop of 1 cent a pound in bacon means 35 cents a year to the average family, or 8-100 of 1 per cent. "For coffee to decline 1 cent a pounds means 47 cents a year. In the case of rice it would mean 25 cents a year; tea, 11 cents a year; cheese, 16 cents a year, and the percentage of total cost of these things becomes almost too small for the human mind to grasp. To be sure, if potatoes dropped 1 cent a pound, which means 60 cents a bushel, the average workman would feel it to the extent of $8.82 a year, which after all is but 115% of his total food costs." A financial writer in a local paper says engineers generally consider the present methods of refining sugar "the most inefficient and wasteful of our industrial processes." These conditions are rarely discussed by those whose efficiency ideals consist of driving workers at top speed and having them close their day's work in an exhausted condition.

DIGGS Sometimes members of the "upper" classes are afraid even to trust their own kind Last Sunday Governor Hobby of Texas and a number of big manufacturers and mining men reached, Laredo, Texas, in a special train bound for the City of Mexico to witness the inauguration of the new Mexican president. The I. & G. N. railroad company owned the dining car and baggage car on the train and demanded a cash deposit of $30,000 before letting the car go into Mexico, as all the crews down there are natives and handle trains pretty roughly. The railroad officials, although interlocked with several bonding companies, refused to accept a surety bond and finally a banker was routed out and furnished the money in the shape of a cashier's check and the party went on, more or less merrily. It will be a long time before the railroads of this country trust Mexican train crews with their equipment. They are telling it on a certain railroad executive in Kansas City that it takes him a month to make up his mind. People who know him well assert that when he was ten years old his father gave him three snails to watch. Two of the snails ran away from him. Lou Chapman, one of the city commissioners, will go to Washington, D.C., December 16 to represent the city in protest in the hearing before the interstate commerce commission of the application of the Southwestern Coal Operations' association's appeal for increased freight rates on Illinois coal. Fire Chief McNarrey has recommended the erection of two new fire houses, one at Eighteenth street and Kansas avenue; the other at Twentieth street and Quindaro boulevard. The last named house would not be needed if the streets were put in repair. The first one is in the heart of Armourdale's industrial district. Many Mexican laborers are leaving the United States for their own country. The section foreman at the third section out from Kansas City, on the Southern Kansas division of the Santa Fe went out last Thursday morning with six Mexicans. At night he had to walk home alone as he had no one to pump the handcar. The Mid-West Detective agency of the Missouri side has been given a new lease of life by a friendly judge. Beasley, the policeman who allowed an alleged murderer to escape while bringing him from the north, at a point in Nebraska, has been given a job by the Mid-West. No further developments have occurred in the serio-comic fight between Dr. Gloyne, health officer, and the deposed city chemist. George Washington Jones, our porter, says he can find bugs right in his shirt. without having a knowledge of bacteriology or anything. Billy Bird, county assessor, says he is going to do what he thinks is right' regardless of all the dodgers ever printed and circulated. The Minnesota avenue banks and the big industrial plants fought Bird hard at the last election and seem to be trying to get back at him in other ways now, that he is elected: A new picture show will be built between Sixth and Seventh streets by the Grubels, owners of the theatre near the corner of Sixth street and Minnesota avenue. The old one will be used as a medium by which chorus girls can exhibit their comely shape. The opening of the new Providence hospital, Eighteenth street and Barnett avenue, probably will be postponed several weeks on account of delay in arrival of equipment. The opening was set for December 19, The hospital, the first and most modern in Kansas City, Kansas, was built through the efforts of the Sisters of Charity of the Leavenworth diocese. The project was started three years ago, but war restrictions as to labor and material delayed the work. The building is of the Maltese cross plan, every room being an outside one. The institution will be open to patients of all races, colors and creeds, as are all other hospitals operated by the Sisters of Charity. For persons who have many packages to tie a Chicago man has invented a device to hold a ball of twine on one wrist. The plant of the Kansas City (Mo.) Times-Star was badly damaged by fire Monday night. The paper was issued without much loss of time, however. Aliens who claimed draft exemption to dodge the army during the late war are having a hard time to secure naturalization papers. Five were denied citizenship papers Monday in Judge Fisher's court. The Evereat restaurant, 525 Minnesota avenue, has closed its doors. This restaurant, was purchased to make a home for the new Capper daily. The Greek proprietor was going to close his business anyhow. A fall of 40 feet from a scaffold on a building being erected at Central avenue and Ewing street Monday afternoon proved fatal to Tom Hopkins, a Misouri side negro, 35 years old. He died at Bethany hospital an hour after the fall. The plan of Lou Chapman to sell electrical household appliances to customers at cost, plus expense of handling, is meeting with opposition from dealers in electrical equipment. It is said a suit will be instituted to prevent the city handling such goods and selling them at a low figure. During the last year more than 3,000 persons have purchased homes in Kansas City, Kansas, the tax books show. The total number of homes now occupied by owners in the city is more than 20,000. Most of the homes recently purchased have been bought by laboring men. The Wyandotte county commissioners have voted to take over and proceed immediately with the work of removing the debris and other accumulations in the Kaw river channel near the East Kansas Avenue bridge. The work was contracted to a scab structural steel company in Argentine, who failed to keep its contract. Street car fares in St. Joseph, Mo., have been reduced from 10 to 8 cents. It is now up to the "receivers" of the Met to-loosen up a little. With the cutting off of the salaries of "Col. Kealy, the elimination of the $20,-000-a-year "publicity bureau," the revenue from advertising and the fact that the street car company pays no judgments, the fare should be reduced to at least 6 cents. C. B. Trimble, well known among members of union labor in Kansas City, has accepted a position with the Wilson Packing company at Nebraska City, Neb., and left Monday night for his new field of labor. Mr. Trimble has been one of the consistent boosters for The Bulletin and has always helped in its operation, even to doing manual labor. A large portion of the tonnage of paper now in storage at The Bulletin plant was piled by Mr. Trimble. While he was a worker for the Labor-Democratic ticket at the last election, he has a thousand friends in both parties. 3091 N. 27th St. Kansas City, Kan.

The United States Department of Labor estimates that there are already between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 out of employment. It is time that the Kansas City working people give some concern to what in all probability faces them before the winter is over, for this city is already affected by the general and uncalled-for layofffs. Every member of organized labor should immediately quit "drifting" and get the habit of regular attendance at the meetings of their organization. Important business is before them in the next few months and it will require the best brains and advice to meet the problems. Do not shirk the responsibility you have as a member. Your influence may be of large benefit to the movement. The Sleeping Car Conductors have thirty-six local unions with a total membership of 2,500. This union pays a death benefit of $1,000. Foreign money has fallen another notch. An English pound is now worth 3.72. It is no longer referred to as "pound, sterling." French and Italian money is almost as good as that issued by the late warrior, Pancho Cilla, who is now a peaceable farmer. HAIR DRESSER Mrs. James Barlow (Mme C. J.
