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 Volume VII. MIDNIGHT USED WRONG PHONE BOOTH-ALMOST GOT "PINCHED" Nashville, Tenn.—Revs. A. L. Gaines, J. C. Caldwell and John a Gregg are praying for me, and I am asking other friends to join in these petitions to the throne, for I do not want to miss Heaven, yet I have been mighty cussified for the past few days, and I think if the Lord had laid His hands on me while I was reading about Covington, Ga., and when that policeman approached me in the union station in Nashville, Tenn., I think this old frame of mine would have heated hell ten times hotter. You note I have named three men for I think they have mighty influence with Jehovah just now, and when they reach the amen part of their prayer in 1924 that will be bishops in the A. M. E. church, and I desire to thank God for them. They are three able men. Dr. Gregg will go to South Africa to succeed Bishop W. T. Vernon, who will be returned to America and given work, and I think the other two named will have home work. When I reached Nashville last night I was made to think before the Throne. I want to have my trunk packed up all the time and a through ticket for Heaven in my hand. I reached town from other places that I will speak of later Went up stairs to that station, saw public telephone booths, places where you go and say hello to your friends. I went to one of them asked for a conversation with Dr. J. C. Caldwell, which was granted after I had deposited five cents in United States coin in a box, and heard a bell ring. The conversation was over; when I turned to walk out and walked right into the arms of the law. I mean one of these Nashville policemen. He looked at me and I fixed my eyes right in his and he shouted out to me: "You don't know where you are at, do you?" I turned a little red in the face, and replied: "I don't know, sir, I thought I was in hell, have I made a mistake?" He said, "You should have gone over yonder," pointing to the door labeled "colored," "and you would have found a phone in there." "I did not know it, sir, for I did not go in there." "Then you should have asked someone." "I did not see your royal highness, and if you had been here I would have asked you, kind sir." "Don't give me any of your lip, and if you do I will arrest you." "That is your business and none of mine," I said with all the force I could muster, "and I will not object to you arresting me, because I am a passenger here, and I need a little pocket change." I wish you could have seen them white folks getting around me, looking at the show. I left the station, and was followed by a detective until I reached the Millie Hale Infirmary, where I went to get some real medicine for my trouble. I have been moving just a little since I took my pen in hand to write to you last week, and believe me. I am still going, honey, for I started this letter in Nashville, and now I am in Tuskegee Institute finishing it. I was looking around in Cynthiana, and when I got through with that I just got myself together and went to Cincinnati, spending the night with the Rev. Dr. J. Franklin Walker, and bright and early Concluded on Page Four SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 of Bethel A.

BOY SCOUTS CLEAN WEEK The Boy Scouts of the city will start next week in a clean up campaign. The program planned is, every home in the city will be visited by the Scouts and in their little manly way, try to help every home and surroundings to keep sanitary and more beautiful. The boys, seemingly to some, may ask some pertinent questions, but it is only for the good of every one's best interest. So don't speak harshly or insulting to these little health savers. Lieut. Howard Brown will be in charge of the colored Scout boys who will inspect and clean up our colored community, where they are not able to do it themselves. Number 36 Church Eighth Johnson, Pastor BETHEL RALLY SUNDAY, 3 P. M. AT FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH HERE Bethel A. M. E. church, located on Water street, pastored by Rev. W. B. Johnson, a real progressive churchman and who with his energetic congregation, are planing to erect a new church in the near future on Fourth street and Troup avenue, are asking for help and the First A. M. E. church has opened its doors (as it does for all needful churches) for their big rally this Sunday, at 3 p.m. Every one, irrespective of their church affiliation, should assist this struggling congregation in its efforts for a much needed church home. They have a fine location, which was secured some time ago, through their faithful and untiring pastor, and the sacrifice of his small membership. The church in which they have been worshiping in for some years, is entirely too inadequate for much growth, besides its location is out of the way to its drawing influence. There will be good music and a number of spicy speakers Sunday. The church and pastor will appreciate your presence. Rev. G. S. Sawyer, pastor of Mason Memorial M. E. church, corner of Oakland avenue, and Ninth street, left Tuesday for Oklahoma City, Okla, to attend his annual conference. He expects to be returned back here for another year, where he has done a great work. CITIZENS' FORUM The Citizens' Forum, the chamber of commrece of our people, had a large meeting at Metropolitan Temple, where they gained much information on civic affairs and on what the commissioners-elect propose to do for the city.

She received great applause and much praise. Miss Mabel Jackson rendered a clasic solo and was encored. Miss Willa Dwiggins was her accompanist. Mrs. M. C. Matthews read an original poem on "The Biennial Battle. Next Sunday, April 10, Chaplain James Small, of Hyde Park Christian church will address the Forum. Hear him. All are invited.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Some of the members of this church keep after the former writer to say something about their church. But not being able to get there for several weeks, she writes this from hearsay: Last Sunday Dr. Holmes preached in the morning and, although he is quoted to have said on the preceeding Friday night, "He had too much interest in Kansas City, Kansas, to leave here, but was praying over the matter," he intimated that he would offer his resignation Sunday night. On Sunday night we are told he said, "He would preach his farewell sermon in May." To make it about 60 days would it have to be May 29. This is unless the officers have called a preacher before then. If he made this announcement, that proves the people of Vine Street church told the truth. Many preachers have been asking to pastor Metropolitan, but the officers ought to be careful and get a progressive, intelligent man, who has a truthful Christian record. There are true Christians in this church and God will hear their paryers and give them a good leader. Sunday, April 10, a large prayer meeting at 6 a. m.; preaching at 11 a. m., and 8 p. m. All are invited to this famous church. M. C. Matthews, Reporter. HAIR DRESSER Mrs. James Barlow (Mme C. J. Walker System) hair dresser, 326 Parallel avenue, Kansas City, Kans. Bell Phone Fifield 4484-R. Randolph Springs National Health Sanitarium With Medical Mineral Wtaers and Bath House. There are many Colored American Farmers in Missouri as well as elsewhere who have been very successful in gathering about them the wealth of the land. Some have raised large and useful families have been mighty men in their day, and in their community, but Time has wrought his change. Friends and family are gone. The light and bounding steps of other years now give place to aches and pains. Nervous prostration, rheumatism and general debility have now taken the place of all the strength, health and agility of a period long passed. The approach of age, with money and means, is now left to this mighty man of the past. He needs a place where he may build himself a little cottage among congenial friends, who like himself linger lovingly in life. A place where the touch of the world is not denied him, where the rapidly moving throng will give him a smile, a word of cheer as it passes on. Such a place is Randolph Springs. J. C. Branhe & Co., representatives, 1314 North 5th St., Kansas City, Kansas. The differene between an industrial bandit and the ordinary garden kind is: The industrial bandit sits in his office and pulls a string, and the ordinary bandit stands in the open and pulls a gun. Each works, in his own way, toward a common end—the plundering of society. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor.

Several visitors were present and those who were present were made welcome. The rostrum was filled with Elder S. H. Trotter and Elder Wright, Elder Trotter being the first speaker. He used for his text Heb. 11-1. Subject, "Faith." Elder Wright followed. He sure preached a wonderful sermon and he said many things on the doctrine. He made things plain so that anyone with a common understanding could see into the doctrine. Right after the sermon the candidate for baptism was escorted to the water side to be baptized. The baptizing was performed by Elder Wright, the pastor, and he was assisted by one of the deacons. At 6 p. m. the Bible Band was called to order and a good les was recited. Come to this noble Bible Band; all strangers and visitors are perfectly welcome. This band is perfectly for reading and discussing the Scriptures.

(First published March 18, 1921) An examination for clerks and carriers will be held on April 23 to fill some existing vacancies in the force as they may occur in the future. Entrance salaries $1400 per annum. Promotions automatic to $1800 per annum. Supervisory positions paying greater compensation are filled from the clerk and carrier forces.

Yes, lumber and other building material was down from the highest peak about 30%. The lumber and building material barons audited their books and found that they could stand more of the war-time profiteering, so up shot prices again. These same barons, linked up with the big I. W. W. national chamber of commerce, are trynig now to force the men in the building trades unions to a slash in wages. Seventy-five per cent of the men in the building trades cannot work the year around and the season he is out of work is when work elsewhere is slack. It therefore requires a good wage for these workers when there is work to do else he will go hungry and cold when there is no work. Most everyone will admit that it is necessary that we have these men of the building profession. Then why not pay them a living wage and shut up. The corporations set the price that they sell at and why not the union men set the price at which he shall sell his services. Charles Whatshisname, who used to be kink of Austria before the war, wandered back home last week and wanted his old job back. He was promptly shipped out of the country. Kinging, like a good many other trades, appears to have a lot of its members out of work at the present time. At the present rate of exchange a man in Budapest, Hungary, has to pay a little more than 100,000 crowns for fare to Kansas City. In the old days a crown of Hungarian money was worth 25 cents, American. A local man learned this when he was going to send for some of his relatives who live in Hungary. California mills cut approximately 8% more lumber in 1920 than in 1918, according to indications from complete returns made to the Forest Service, San Francisco office. JURY SYSTEM SET ASIDE Charleston, W. Va., April 2.—The state legislature has set aside the American jury system by making it possible to go into any county in the state and select a jury to try cases in another county. Under this system, the Matewan citizens who have just been acquitted on the charge of killing a Baldwin-Feits detective, can be tried on other indictments by a jury drawn from counties controlled by these coal company thugs, who have replaced constitution and law by the machine gun and rifle. Strong appeals are being made to Governor Morgan to veto this vicious legislation that is so glaringly in favor of the coal miners.

These figures do not include unemployed who have not registered, nor those who are employed only part of the time. The government is distributing out-of-work doles, but it is evolved no constructive policy.

New York, April 2.—A committee of the Bar association denounces legislation pending in the state assembly interded to force Americanizatoin in the public schools.

INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CO. on the assumption that good morals, wisdom and sound judgment can be inculcated by statutory regulation prescribing in sonorous words conditions that are to be complied with in order to secure a desired result, but which cannot be carried out because, after all, they remain loud-sounding phrases. The true spirit of Americanism is the outgrowth of good sense, good judgment and love for our institutions. It cannot be stimulated by Prussianizing our schools." William Joseph Simmons, Imperial Wizard, Knights of the KuKlux Klan, sends us, among other things the following explanation of the principles of the organization, which we give without comment, as, so far as ws known, there are no members in this vicinity. It has been charged the order is fathered by rich northern planeters who fear the result of organization among the negrces. Mr. S'mmons says: "Committees representing the two local lodges of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan have been named to confer with local police and city officials (of Memphis) to lending their assistance in the preservation of order in Memphis. "The Klan membership in Memphis numbers at present approximately 1,200 men whose Americanism is unquestioned and who stand ready and willing at all times to stake their all upon the principles upon which the ancient and noble order has been reorganized. In other sections of the country and particularly in the South members of the Klan have volunteered their assistance to the constituted authorities in these troublous times in much the AMERICA FIRST! same manner as the Ku Klux Klan of old during the dark days of the reconstruction period." The Bulletin may say here that organized labor is suspicious of any organization which has to prate its "Americanism" before the public instead of acting it. For, it will be remembered, the Steel Trust, the Meat Trust, the chamber of commerce of the United States, the perjurers who sent Mooney to prison, all have, prated their "Americanism" instead of acting it. Anyhow, the two largest fraternal bodies, Masons and Knights of Columbus, both have "sat down" pretty hard on the Ku Klux Klan. The above is given partly because it is the of first this sort of propaganda sent out to labor papers. The Associated Press handles a great deal of it, favorably, proving that the big interests in the north have something to do with it. Sacramento, Cal., April 2.—Employing interests in this state are opposing labor's proposal that every article of merchandise offered for sale be stamped with the cost price, so that the purchaser may compare it with the price he is asked to pay. The employers insist, however, that labor's living costs be figured down to the last fraction of a cent and that this information be given the widest publicity. But objectoin is raised when labor suggests that these employers be compelled to make public not what it costs them to live, but what their goods cost them.

She is indeed a refined, cultured woman, and Dr. Greggs mother also had a smile for me. I was soon in touch with Mrs. Castella Johnson, and others. Dr. Gregg was in an important meeting. He has been in the army and is a man of discipline. It had been necessary for the executive board to issue an order prohibiting the young men from walking to and from class, to and from meals, and to and from chapel with the girls, and they had declared war and were expected to strike. and the president was equal to the occasion.

WARFIELD PLAN NOT POPULAR Railway executives do not look with favor on the plan proposed by the National Association of Owners of Railroad Securities for co-ordinating the railroad business. In some quarters the plan was regarded as providing for a somewhat cumbersome organization which would have authority to make investigations and submit reports but not the power to make effective their recommendations. Many railway executives feel strongly that what the railroad situation needs more than any other one thing is that the railroads he left to function along ordinary lines of business followed by other successful private industries. In labor circles the Warfield move is accepted as another indication of the railroad operators' awakening to the realization that economic conditions were fast forcing the lines closer and closer to a return to government control. "We are still standing firmly behind our plan for government control," says a statement from the American Federation of Labor. BUILDING PERMITS March 28—F.

Revenues from the 1920 income and profits tax will be considerably larger than the minimum estimated by the treasury officials. First definite information that the government's financial program would not be unset by tax receipts falling short of the amount expected became known in Washington when reports were received at the Treasury from collectors of internal revenue, showing that payments on account of the March 15 installment of taxes had passed the 600 million dollar mark at the close of business March 31. Knowledge that the total will be more than 600 million dollars is most gratifying to treasury officials as well as the business interests. For the 8-year period. February, 1913. to February, 1921, the percentage increase in all food articles, combined, was 63%. The price of hens increased 107%; flour, 97%; ham, 90%; storage eggs and bread, 89%; lamb, 85%; bacon, 75%; pork chops, fresh milk, cheese and potatoes, 73%. The other articles for which prices were received on both dates showed increases ranging from 22% for rice, to 72% for corn meal. Mrs. Gilbert of Chillocothe, and Mr. Denny, of Omaha, visited Rev.
