They are singing about the train of education passing through the nation, commanding that all get aboard lads and lassies of the train, before she passes, and our young people are taking them at their word and getting on theirs. friends, for he has made of me a friend, and welcomed me to his home night or day. What is more he has an automobile car carriage and you just ride and ride all the time. I spent only one day there and I was the most ridingest man in the country, and with a big chicken lunch I left for Savannah, Ga. I got to town about 2 o'clock Monday morning, and got a man to tote me over to the home of Rev. P. W. Wrenn, on the Baptist church, and a good I have seen thousands of young people in the variuos schools this year, and they are doing good work. Schools are full, and there will be graduates in, a few weeks from now who never graduated before in their lives, and some of them will graduate again from some other school. They are getting the foundation, the finishing touch, and making it ring out for good in all parts of the world. You will hear beautiful rounded sentences words in their places, all the commas in their places and periods just where they belong. They will hold the universe in one hand, and the destiny of the nation in the other. They will receive many applauses, and told of the fine address delivered by them, but then they will have to face the future. They will have to face a cold bloody business world, and if they cannot measure up to the requirements they will eb told to stand aside. The diploma is simply a diploma, but practical service will count. I am here at this time with one of the most practical men of the nation, Prof. G. A. Edwards, president of Kittrell college, one of the institutions of the African Methodist Episcopal church, and a man who believes in doing things. He is not a gas bag, nor is he a man who is afflicted with the running off at the mouth. Only a few words, and every word has a meaning. He is busy all the time, and I am here to tell you that he has put Kittrell on the map as it has not been in many moons, saying nothing about the sun and the stars. When I wrote you last week I was struggling to keep my mouth from jumping out of my heart, and after getting it straight and out of Miami safe, I made up my mind to see some other part of the world I found my way to Titusville, where I was when I wrote you last week, and from there right into Jacksonville, and to the home of J. S. McLane, and believe me when I tell you he has some home. I have told you about this wonderful character before, but I had never been in his home where dwells his queen, and she is indeed a queen, and a fine entertainer.

What is more he has an automobile car carriage and you just ride and ride all the time. I spent only one day there and I was the most ridingest man in the country, and with a big chicken lunch I left for Savannah, Ga. I got to town about 2 o'clock Monday morning, and got a man to tote me over to the home of Rev. P. W. Wrenn, of the Baptist church, and a good friend of mine. He was looking for me and opened up, and had a bed ready for my frame. These old bones were soon resting and about 8 o'clock, Mrs. Willie Hill, who has been a teacher for a long time, but is now staying at her home, and is Receiver of Deposits for the Grand Court of Calanthe, just came for me and toted me over to her home for a hunkerdorous breakfast. She was at the steering wheel, and I was delighted to ride with her, although I had my mind on Heaven all the time I was by her side. But she landed me safely to her home to the stable when I was ready to leave town. I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Mary E. Moore of 36 Warwick street Boston, Mass., who is indeed a remarkable woman, and a worthy representative of this race of ours. Mrs. Moore is educated, and is putting it to practical use. She is manufacturing toilet articles which she is placing on the market herself and then she is teaching our people how to do the beautifying act. She is called "Skin Specialist and Hair Culturist," and in this she is an expert. Her position is that of president of the Mary E. Moore Manufacturing Company. They turn out from her place of business hair grower, tetter ointment, gloseen, shampoo, bleaching cream, perfect cold cream, woman's delight, brunette rouge, brunette face powder, rose pink face powder, dark brown face powder, flesh colored powder, toilet waters, and many other things that I will not have time to mention. I want you to know this remarkable woman, because she is doing something as she goes through the country, as she is preparing others to do. I just had to look and look at her. I was in great company, Mrs. Willie Hill, Mrs. Mary E. Moore, and Mrs. W. P. Wrenn, and all accompanied me to the stable where I was to leave for this place. I passed through Denmark, and met Prof. and Mrs. Martin A. Menafee, with some real lunch for me, and I got on the outside of it as that Seaboard iron horse grunted and groaned like it was having spells unto death. It was a fine ride, and I HIGH SCHOOL at , FRIDAY EVE, MAY 6 RAINING AND EXHIBITION nts in Action (ten seats in a box) Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, May 6, 1921 A few energetic ladies met at the home of Mrs. Rhoe, 2729 North Allis, for the purpose of organizing an Art club. After devotional exercises were conducted by Mrs. Rhoe, and also an inspiring lecture, which was enjoyed very much by all, the ladies went into the organization, electing Mrs. Rhoe president pro tem. She read for the Scripture lesson 100th Psalm. A brief talk was made by all the ladies as to how they felt towards the organization after which the election of officers was in order. The following officers were elected: Mrs. Lizzie McGraw, president; Mrs. Leala Morris, vice-president; Mrs. Julia Rhoe, chaplain; Mrs. Ida Thompson, treasurer; Mrs. Lemis Turnet, secretary; Mrs. Allen Cocket, teacher; Miss Owens, embroidery, tea and current events instucto. It was then moved and approved that the membership consist of fifteen ladies. Our meeting day is Thursday of each week. Weekly dues are 10 cents per member. All visitors are heartily welcome. On Thursday April 21 we met with Mrs. Allen, on Tremont street. enjoyed it, from Savannah to Henderson, N. C., where I found Prof. G. A. Edward's automobile carriage awaiting totote me to his palatial residence. It was about 3 o'cock in the morning when I reached his home, but believe me, honey, that college president was just waiting for me, but his wife had gone to Slumbereen, and did not know anything about my arrival until the next morning. Prof. Edwards received me just like he was receiving a brother in the Lord, and made me welcome. He said many nice things to me, and then told me to take some rest. I am an honest man and refused to take anything. I did go to bed, and when I went t sleep I do not know, but I believe it must have happened while I was getting in bed. He told me about the wonderful student body the next morning and showed me around from place to place, meeting educated people, and even Mrs. Sallie Norris shook my lily black hand and declared she was glad to look into my beautiful blue eyes. I am sure you will recall Mrs. Edwards, because I have told you about her. She is just one more fine musician—one of the finest in the race. She has charge of the music at Kittrell college, and this says to you they have a fine musical department. You may take my word for it. Ruth Norris, the oldest daughter, Melba Hines; Edwards, the next daughter, and then there was a baby, Hazel Lillie, all made me welcome. Melba is indeed an interesting little girl, being now five years old, while Ruth has spent 10 years in the world, and she is a good scholar and the other has not been here two years yet, but is interesting and devoted to daddy. They are getting ready for commencement—in fact it will be in progress when you read this letter. Rev. E. H. McGill, of State college, Orangeburg, S. C., will preach the commencement sermon; Rev. John E. Jackson, of Wilmington, N. C., will speak to the religious societies, and Rev. J. S. Hutcher of Roanoke, Va., will speak before the literary societies; and Dr. John A. Gregg, the new president of Wilberforce University will deliver the commencement address, and believe me, there is going to be some address It will take place Wednesday, May 11, at 10 o'clock that morning. I shall have more to say about it later. J. O. MIDNIGHT ADVOCATE N. A. A. C. P. DRIVE MOVING TOWARD GOAL The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of the local branch, are making a strong and vigorous drive for their one thousand members, with Rev. J. F. Griffin as its president and Colonel J. P. King at the head of the drive. Thursday night of last week a mass meeting was held at Pleasant Green Baptist church when the majors, captains, lieutenants and workers made their reports. Tuesday night of this week another mass meeting was held at St. Paul's church, Argentine, when splendid reports were made. Thursday night a rousing meeting was held at Metropolitan Baptist church, which brought in a large number through the untiring workers. Every race-loving man and woman of this city ought to not let this drive close, without becoming a member. There is no organization in the country that has and is doing the work for the colored people as this organization. DR. WM. M. BLOUNT Kansas City has recently added to its professional ranks another physician in the person of Dr. Wm. B. Blount, who comes here from Ennis, Texas. He has opened a well-appointed office at 428 Minnesota avenue. Dr. Blount comes to Kansas metropolis highly recommended as a physician and surgeon and did not come here to better his condition, financially, but for the school advantages for his family. Dr. Blount is a product of Meharry Medical college, Nashville, Tenn., and has been practicing medicine for 13 years and has been a most successful practitioner. He took a course last year, specializing in surgery, at Chicago. The doctor's first step after arriving here was to purchase a nice home, located at 402 Lafayette avenue. The citizens of Kansas City, Kansas, welcome Dr. Blount, his cultured wife and family among us and hope they may feel they are among friends of worth. From the natural appearance and conversation of this genial M. D. he will soon forget his large practice back in the Lone Star State as he will have plenty to do in his new field. The Advocate wishes you every success and that you and yours may feel right at home. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH Editor The Advocate: Services at St. Paul A. M.

Sir Jenkins in a short address aroused the vast audience to the occasion as he only can. Sermon was delivered by Rev. N. B.

George McNeal was a conspicuous Sir Knight in the line of march. The reverend can always be found with the boys. The lady drill teams, uniformed in their natty white dress, with white caps and white shoes, were the real bouquet of the parade. Sunflower Company No. 1; ladies' drill team, made their first appearance on the streets and with Captain Mary Maxie and their master instructor, Lient. Duvall, made everybody along the line move from the sidewalk to the street when they passed by. Look out for Team No. 2. Col Don H. Rife, staff, Second Regiment and ladies' drill teams, with one of the greatest bands in the west, brought everything to the streets, if it had not been dead over three days, when they come stepping through the old town.

Specia to The Aldvocate: My first stop after I left Topeka was Emporia. I stopped with Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Tidwell, 802 Congress avenue, while there. While I was in Emporia I was at the home of Elder Wood church, the pastor of the A. M. E. church, corner Sixth and Congress streets. I attended the Wednesday night prayer meeting and after the prayer services were over the pastor read the baptismal ordination to twelve new members, who were to be baptized May 1. He just recently closed a big revival with 40 additions, with which he now has 177 enrolled. Before the prayer meeting was adjourned I represented the Kansas City Advocate to his congregation. Enclosed find some new subscribers for your mailing list. While there also Mrs. Booker, the mother of Lawyer Guy Booker of Kansas City, Kans., passed away. Her funeral was held at the St. James Baptist church, Elder C. P. Marrow, the pastor, officiating. Emporia is a very nice town, but it is now dull. I also met Mr. Oscar Lucas, a young man. He is a great worker for the Y. M. C. A. I arrived in Newton April 28. I found things quite lively. Last Sunday, May 1, I was at the morning service at the A. M. E. church, where Elder Enyard, the pastor held services. The morning service was preached by the pastor. He used for his text, St. Matt. 17-4, Lord it is good for, us to be here. The basement of the church was ready and the table was all decorated with all good things to eat, such as greens, sweet potatoes, corn bread and many other good things to eat. After the collection the pastor introduced me to his congregation as a traveling agent for The Advocate, so in my remarks about The Advocate and am sending you some subscriptions from Newton to be placed on your mailing list. After the morning service adjourned at 1:30 p. m. everybody was made welcome to a big dinner free. I sure enjoyed myself and I want to say again, I certainly was treated nicely by the pastor and all the members. At 3:30 p. m. Elder J. R. Ransom of Wichita and some of his members were at evening service. Elder Ransom ascended the rostrum. He preached a wonderful sermon. He used for his text, The Power of God. The house was very full. Elder Glass of the C. M. E. church, was present. On account of night services Elder Ransom returned to Wichita right after service. At 7:30 p. m., the night service began. After a lesson was read by the pastor Elder W. H. Cole occupied the rostrum. He used for his text Psalm 19-1. The congregation was very large. On last Sunday was rallying day for the benefit of the church; $5.00 for all sisters; $10.00 for the brothers. The Sewing Circle raised $137.00 and the subscription money was $219.35. Total for the entire day, $356.35. After the collection was announced the whole church sang "Praise God-I'm Satisfied." At 10:20 the church was adjourned and all went home rejoicing. This will be all for this time. You will hear from me on May 9, with some more subscriptions if the Lord wills. Yours in the right, W. C. ARCH.

It is to be conducted by the Rev. John Albert Williams, of Omaha, Neb. Father Williams is one of the most widely known priests of the Episcopal church in the country.

There will be three services daily, the chief service being at night. Father Wright of the Church of the Ascension is desirous of having it known that these services are all open to the public.

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.

The co-operative movement is the only movement today that refuses to recognize the supremacy of capital. Co-operation sees a more promising field than the producer, and builds its system upon the consumer. It is therefore a movement of every man, and not of any class. As thing; now stand the producers are powerfully organized—the capitalists in great corporations which tend rapidly towards monopolies. The laborers into unions powerful enough to make the government plead for a truce. The farmer is less effectively organized but is rapidly increasing his power. The only field, here in America, that is still unorganized is that of the consumer. The unorganized consumer is as well qualified to treat with organized capital as a Belgian peasant is to deal with the German army. He has no friends at the court. He is as helpless and unprotected as a young bird in a feline world. The producer awakened first to the absolute necessity of combination in the modern world. The distributor is awakening. The consumer too must read the old warning, "Unite or die." Co-operation is the next step in the world sweep of democracy. We cannot long continue to be satisfied to exalt democracy in the political world, and ignore it in the industrial world. Co-operation means business and industry, trade and commerce, of the people, by the people and for the people. How long had a dog's tail ought to be? Long enough that he can carry the end of it comfortably in his mouth. Why so? Because it would give his mind a chance to circulate and would not grow stale or have bad dreams in his sleep Some men have carried their load so long that they fear to put it down. They are like the old maid with a wart on her nose and did not know how she would get along without it. We are glad Mayor Burton is not inviting anyone to flirt around the City Hall. He evidently wants to give the city the kind of thoughtful administration that it needs. Reason and not rainstorms are what men need use to moisten, their characters.
