The Big Rally of Bethel A.M.E. Church Will Be Held at First A.M.E. Church Eighth Street and Nebraska Avenue, Sunday. April 10, at 3 P.M. W.B. Johnson, Pastor KANSAS JONES & COMPANY HAVE JUST OPENED UP AN INDIVIDUAL FAMILY WET WASH ROUGH DRY LAUNDRY Volume VII. MRS. GEORGE W. HUBBARD PASSES AWAY Had World-wide Acquaintance Among Students Nashville, Tenn, March 15. (National Negro Press Association Service) - Solemn and impressive was the funeral services held over the remains of the late Mrs. George W. Hubbard in the Meharry auditorium Thursday morning. While simplicity marked the exercises, the deep sorrow and gloom caused by the death of the sainted woman was shown in every face. Dr. Tillott, dean of Vanderbilt University, delivered the funeral oration over the deceased. Hundreds of friends and students crowded the auditorium; the great floral designs, which were a great tribute of respect for the deceased, consumed a great part of the stage, Distinguished men and women from every walk of life in the city of Nashville, where Mrs. Hubbard has spent the better part of her life, were in attendance. Representatives from every educational institution of the city were in attendance and thousands of messages of condolence were received throughout the United States. In the obituary a pen picture of vivid and outstanding was made of the work and consecrated services of Mrs. Hubbard, who was in her eighty-fourth year. Her place of birth was given as a quaint Quaker settlement in Pennsylvania. She had been an active worker in Nashville for more than fifty years, said the obituary, and perhaps knew more students who had finished in Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Nurse training than any woman of either race residing in Nashville. While the eulogy was being delivered the great audience sat in sorrowful silence, which was a splendid tribute to the life just passed into the great beyond. The renditions by special voices and the musical selections made the occasion all the more solemn. President Mullowney of Meharry Medical College; Dr. J. A. Lester, dean, and the entire faculty were in attendance as were prominent members of Vanderbilt University, from which school Dr. George W. Hubbard. husband of the deceased was a graduate. In the pasing of Mrs. Hubbard it will be recalled that only a few of the early educators who came south to establish educational institutions remain upon the scene and are active in service There were scores in the audience who remembered Mrs. Hubbard as she came to join in the life work of her husband in the early days of her womanhood. Hers had been a life of sacrifice and service. Millions have been benefited by her counsel and advice through her tender care and watchful attention given to the students of Meharry Medical College and the Old Central Tennessee College in this city. Mr. and Miss. Wm. Gamble have purchased a flat on Franklin avenue, and will remove in six rooms of it in about a week and rent out the other twelve rooms. -SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 ELMER MOSLEY ELECTROCUTED Newcomer Here Gives Life to Recover Hat Elmer Mosley, a young man 17 years of age, lost his life Saturday afternoon about 3 o'clock by coming in contact with a live wire when he started down a pole o: the east end of the intercity viaduct after his hat, which had been blown from a truck on which he was riding. This young man had been here only about three three weeks, coming from Ardmore, Ala. He was a nephew of W. L. Long, one of our well known carpenters, who took the remains of the unfortunate young man in charge. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from the chapel of Undertaker Mrs. Jones, 444 State avenue, The deceased leaves back in the south, a father, mother, five sisters, four brothers and severa luncles and aunts.

Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, April 1, 1921 Twelve-Year-Old Boy Conducted Correspondence for Gay Old Lothario and Almost Had Him Married, But the Lady Didn't Know It —Getting Ready for Big Things to Happen This Summer ROBERT B. GRIMES FOR MAYOR I am asking to be your mayor because I feel that I am capable of handling the office to which I aspire. I am a native Kansan and have received both my educational and business training among the people of this state. My experience has extended from a common laborer, working in the dry salt cellar at the Fowler Packing plant, to the executive head of a large serum and biological business. In 1908 the United States government called me in special service under the bureau of animal industry and directed me to report at Sumberby, Pa., in the work of eradicating foot and mouth disease; such assignment continued until the disease was eradicated in 1909. Upon returning to Kansas City, Kan., I was then assigned to the eradication of tuberculosis, co-operating with the state of Arkansas, headquarters Little Rock, where 10,000 dairy cattle were tested for tuberculosis under my direction. Besides the high school and college training which I have received, I have devoted special attention to a study of all problems which affect you as citizens of Kansas City, Kan. I appreciate and will apply good sound economic principles to the civic affairs of Kansas City, Kan., if you repose such trust in me. If elected I stand for an efficient, honest and impartial administration. ROBERT B. GRIMES CITY Kansas City, Kansas, Fr M. E. Church Will Sunday. April 10, MIDNIGHT STILL IN THE S AND AS USUAL MEET Twelve-Year-Old Boy Conduc for Gay Old Lothario and A Married, But the Lady B —Getting Ready for to Happen This S Cynthiana, Ky.—You must think that I am the most movingest man in the country, and I am inclined to think that there is something in it, but then that is my business and none of yours. But I do not mean to say mean things to you, but would like to have you travel with me for a month, and then you will see that I am not a fake but a real riding man. It seems that the devil has moved right up here on earth and hell has been turned loose. Almost every time you pick up a daily paper now you will see where some black man has been lynched, and that is about all there is to it. Messrs. Republicans, and Dear President Harding, I am anxious to know just what you are going to do to check some of this hellish doings in this country? Is it possible that the white man with his superior boasted civilization cannot put over law and order? Must he say to the civilized world that we can take our soldiers, and our navy and put to death those who would try to keep a people down in Europe? That we can protect the people of Belgium, but our own citizens can be put to death at will by howling mobs, by uncivilized Christian heathens? Lynching had its origin from hell, and I think it should return there. I have faith in President Warren G. Harding and the men and women who were elected to Congress a few days ago. I am willing to bet my head on them, but it will take just a little time to put up the stakes. Just at this period in our history, I want my people to stay on their knees talking to God, and we must not for one minute get out of touch with Him. To Him we must look today, and He will right our wrongs, and if we can get Jesus into the hearts of those in authority then law and order will prevail and life and property will be safe. Unless there is a halt called to this Klu Klux Klan business, there will be many free trains going to Heaven and hell toting my passengers of both races. I do not like to hear of race conflicts, but would rather be able to join the Psalmist David in saying, "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." I want to love at all times my neighbor as myself. I believe in the protection of the home, and the protection of womanhood, and I believe in the free and unlimited use of the ballot by all Americans, nothing more and nothing less. Since I took my pen in hand to write you a few lines last week, I have been going some, ROBERT B. GRIMES I I am asking to be your mayor because of handling the office to which I aspire and have received both my education among the people of this state. My exp as a common laborer, working in the dry Packing plant, to the executive head of a local business. In 1908 the United States special service under the bureau of anime to report at Sumberry, Pa., in the womouth disease; such assignment continued in 1909. Upon returning to then assigned to the eradication of tuber the state of Arkansas, headquarters I dairy cattle were tested for tuberculosis ADVOCATE and will be after going some more. You will recall that I was the guest of Editor W. L. Porter, and his wife. They seemingly were glad to have me in their homes and made me one of the family. Bright and early one morning Mr Porter knocked on my door and told me it was time to get up. You see, I had promised to go to Gate City Va., and had to catch an iron horse wagon about 4:40 in the morning, and he was ready to tote me over to the Southern stable in his Hupmobile. Soon I was on my way, and had to make a change at Male Cow's Gap, reaching Gate City a few minutes past nine. It seems that there were many people down there to see the chow come in. They were headed by Prof. W. D. Morrison, whose guest I was to be, and who had invited me to visit that section of the country. He is a young man who is making good in the educational map, and is putting Gate City on the map, just as Dr. Booker T. Washington put Tuskegee on the map. Prof. Morrison has stirred in the people vace pride and I could see it sparkling as I talked to them by the way., I could see in this young man a true leader, and I was proud of him, and his wife, who is right by his side. They have started a fine school building, and it is the only one in the whole country for my people. The building is not completed yet, and they are raising money to finish it, and to have a piano. One of the features of the school will be a picture gallery in which will hang the pictures of our men and women who have made good. Prof. Morrison was writing for Mr. and Mrs. Malone when I was there. I met a young man up there, who did not know enough to get out of the rain and still he wanted to marry one of the teachers. He could tell me about his wealth and the like. I will just pity him, and will not expose him. I wish I could give you a picture of an Old Fool in town by the name of Tartar or something like that. He also wanted to marry a teacher and had employed Mack Turner, a little boy about 12 or 13 years old, to do his counting. Little Mack would write the letters to the young lady and then write the answers, had the old man all but standing on his head, thinking he was going to get the young woman, and one day he put on his Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes and called on her, wanting to take her out, and I wish you could have heard that (Concluded on Fourth Page) RECITAL—TWO STARS SHEBA CHAPTER NO. 18, O.

Admission.....25c THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER CRIES OF MAN CAUSE COPS AN HOUR'S SEARCH Injured Man Drags Himself a Mile Hunting Help For an hour and a half early Sunday morning, Stanley Beatty, W. S. Maxwell, patrolmen, and Earl Gilbert, police chauffeur, searched the willows north of the Kansas City Refining company's plant, First street and Troup avenue, in an attempt to locate faint cries for help which were brought to their ears by the wind. They finally located the source of the cries, and found Prince Pittman, colored, 30 years old, lying semi-conscious in a ditch near the river, one leg severed above the knee. He was nearly dead from loss of blood and exposure. He told the officers he had attempted to board an outgoing Missouri Pacific freight train at First and Walker streets to get to Omaha, Neb., and had slipped and fallen beneath the car wheels. Th einjured man had dragged himself more than a mile, believing he was going toawrds a house. He was taken to St. Margaret's hospital, where it was said he might recover. Pittman told the police that he was trying to "beat" his way to Omaha, Neb., to find work so he could support his wife and newborn baby, who live in Kansas City, Mo. MRS. MARY CORNELL PASSES TO THE BEYOND Mrs. Mary Cornell, 937 Freeman avenue, passed away Saturday, March 26, at 8 a. m. The deceased was one who had the respect of all who knew her. Her life was well worth emulating. Her neighbors and the entire community will greatly feel the absence of this noble character She was a devoted Christian and had been for many years a faithful member of First A. M. E. church church, from where she was buried Wednesday afternoon, Rev. J. F. Griffin officiating. She leaves an aged mother, Mrs. Gray; two children; one daughter, Miss Allye Cornell, one of our city teachers and Clifford Cornell, a son, living on Nebraska avenue, and a sister, Mrs. Price, 703 Oakland avenue, and a host of admiring friends. Rebecca Tabernacle had charge of the funeral. Bishop H. P. Parks stopped off here Tuesday on his way home from Oklahoma, where he had been looking after his work of which he is in charge now. The bishop was looking well and stated his district was in good working order and expected his district to come up with its quota in the Five Million Dollar drive that has been put on without much trouble. Mrs. Ozella Calhoun entertained the Sewing Circle at her residence, 928 Oakland avenue, last Friday night. A large number was out and a very pleasant time was had. Number 35 CITY ELECTION AND THE WINNERS Cold Weather Kept Many from the Polls The city election passed off very quietly, but a fraction of the registered vote being cast. There seemed to be nothing to relieve the deadly lethargy of the voters. For the first time in several elections there were no race men on the ticket. Also there seemed to be an absence of the usual "slate" politics so apparent heretofore. Here are the winners: For Mayor—Harry B. Burton and Dr. Robert B. Grimes. For Commissioner of Finance—Gerrard B. Little (present incumbent) and John W. Ferguson. For Commissioner of Water Works and Street Lighting—Lou H. Chapman (present incumbent) and E. J. Coleman. For Commissioner of Parks and Public Property—James L. Beggs (preesnt incumbent) and H. F. Schaible. For Commissioner of Parks and Public Improvements—T. A. Flynn (present incumbent) and Harry J. Kaelin. For Members Board of Education—Arthur J. Stanley, David Friedman, W. E. Barnhart (present incumbents) and I. R. McAdams, A. T. Long, Elmer Hickam. DR. BRAY, EVANGELIST, IN HAMILTON, OHIO Accompanied by his Gospel singer, Prof. Geo. H. Wright, Dr. H. Franklin Bray reached Hamilton, Ohio, last week and began at once an assault upon the strongholds of sin with such aroused and the Christians lined force and vigor that the city is up as never before. Dr. Bray delivers his mesages so that the simplest and youngest can understand the Gospel and results always follow. A square deal for every citizen, great or small, is the platform of Harry B. Burton for mayor.—Adv. J. HARRY J. KAELIN Another Union Man who is candidate for Commissioner of Parks and Public Property Member A.

Let us help this struggling church on its way for a new home, as it badly needs it. First Church changed its system in the steward's collections. Instead of the leaders running over the church at the close of the sermon collecting their class dues, which has always been annoying, their members will see their leaders after services, or the secretary, and pay their dues. It worked very nicely for the first time last Sunday. The choirs rendered charming music Sunday.

Here we have 60 acres of the finest land in the central part of Missouri, with useful, costly and beautiful improvements upon it. With the very best medicinal waters found anywhere in the United States, in great quantities buried beneath its soil and now flowing out for the healing of the Nations. Here is Our "National Hot Springs." Fourteen fine buildings are already erected upon this site, among which are two good hotels and a first class bath house, all ready for use. The furnishings of these buildings are the best that money could buy. This 60 acres of ground is laid out in town lots upon which it is intended to build a permanent health city and pleasure resort where our people may go and get first class treatment without insult or humiliation of any kind. Colored Americans with capital, here is your chance. This proposed health city already has complete sewerage with good water and two systems of lighting for all buildings and the entire grounds. The business opportunities here are the best that can be thought of because everything here must be done by our hands. The Randolph Springs waters are simply incomparable and invaluable in the treatment of all forms of liver, stomach, bladder and kidney troubles, resulting rheumatism (muscular, sciatic, or inflammatory), gout, dropsy, genito-urinary complications, or from ailments arising from im- POLITICAL AN Owing to Similar Names Remem HARRY B Cand POLITICAL ANNOUNCE LNTS MAYOR OF ALL THE PEOPLE I.

LARGE NAVIES The question of whether we should or should not have a large navy is one that is of paramount interest to the people of today. A little discus- sion and clear thinking along this line would not leave the question in doubt. We should or should not have a Jarger navy, according to whether we tuke one or the other of two views. Which one of these views we take wil] depend largely on ovhether we are. good honest working people or are members of the class that lives from the toil of others. The working ccople have no interests to serve in having a large navy, but the fellows who work the workers have large interests t> serve, and they control the avenues of public opinion through the pagers to such an extent that a great number of people who have no more reason for believing in a large navy than they have for an increased income for Rockefeller, will get all “het” up arguing for a navy second t) none. Possibly the money would be spent for a better purpose yet, which would he all the more reason for not Spending it for battleships. Brother, do you feel so awfully afraid that some little Japarese, Englishman o1 other nationality that y2u_ see now and then in your daily walks of life is so mean and wants to fight so bad that you have to make a walking ar. mory out of yourself to feel secure? Sure, you don’t, and those fellow: that are separated-from us by a lot ef water too deep to wade ure likels « just as peacezbly igclined as the fel ‘lows you see over here. It is th fellows with commercial axes te ‘ grirel over in Japan, in England anc in the United States that are always ‘so sure that everyone has designs or yhis hide. Ihe trouble is that the ore all right about it, insofar a: jer personally are conserned. ; Each is afraid of the other be Veauce he knows rers-nally that b thimself, honestly or dishonestly would do some lov-down, skuli-g 'snaky trick if he got the chance, tha ; Would call for a fight.

Sure some important people get killed in war, but they are likely to be of the Rozsevelt type, and not the Morgan of Rockefeller type. Some contezd that because men of the Roosevelt type are for a big navy, adm for an all the way round efficient fighting machine, that our contentions are based on the paste 2eason f.t wars are usually economic is wrocg, and that other causes are the real factors operating. ‘The immediate cause sor the big war was of course not economic, but just the same the little jealousies and friction set up and simmering for years played an important ‘part in furnishing batkeround and stage set- tirg for the affair, We do not need to throw discra, tion to the winds and not have any protection here, but the protection we need is not best furnished by battle ships. There are several common sense defensive methods that would be entirely satsifactory and at the same time incomparably cheaper. The one which deserves the entire support of the people is ts be tried out in a short time, and if the test is fairly made there is no doubt how the contest will come out. Mr. Dan- iels scoffed at the idea that bombing planes could sink a large battleship. We hope that Mr, Daniels was ser- ious in his offer of steering the ship while the bomhing planes dropped bombs on his ship. If things turn out as indicated by the word of men who saw big bertha shell holes, and all other kind of holes torn by the Jargest guns, and who say that the bombing planes by their bombs blew | larger holes in the ground than any ‘| other means of destruction, then we | cherish the opinion that Mr. Daniels '| is awfully liable to have to swim tc | met out, and with no malice toward Josephus, yet we hone that he ha: _| to do just that, for it will mear that | these $50,000,000 shins are useless || and have sbeen made so by instru ‘| ments costing but a fraction of tha’ | of a battleship. “| There is one large difference be ‘I tween the battleship and the b-tt! | plane or bombing plaze that sh-ul ; | make the heart of the common peopl glad if the ship gets the worst of it > {and that is that the bombing Irl:n | could only be used successfully in de “| fersiva,work.
