KANSAS Men Like Them Would Draw Color Line in Heaven and Hell, If They Could — Other News from J. O. Wheeling, West Virginia. This is one more moving world, and it seems that I am moving with it, for just when I sit down to write to you last week I was in Chicago, and just a few hours before that I was homoligating in Kansas City, and right in the office of the editor of The Advocate, and just look where I am now. They say I am one of the more ridingest men in this country, for before you can read the first line of this letter I will be way down in Texas. I have never been in this town before and I am certainly having a good time. Reaching here the Rev. S. A. Davenport, BTh., pastor of the Macedonia Baptist church met me at the Baltimore & Ohio railroad stable in his automobile car carriage and toted me right over to his home and told me to be at home as long as I desired to stay, but that was short, of course, for I must be about my editor's business, getting information to give you. Rev. Davenport is a young man. It strikes me that he came into this world via Prince Edward County, Virginia, and decided it was a good world. He landed about 25 miles from the place where General Lee handed his sword over to General Grant and acknowledged that he was whipped and that he was unwilling to fight a lost cause any longer. I was right there and have told you about it before. But now about this young man, found his way to the public school of Darlington Heights Va., and from there he went to the Virginia Theological Seminary and college, remaining there just eight years finishing there, he finished also the Theological course at the same school under President R. C. Woods, and stepped out into practical life. He was called to take charge of a Baptist church in McKeysport, Pa., where he was then 27 years old, and the about to do good work. The indebtedness of the church was much larger than he was, for it was over $7,000. In two years the debt was paid, and one thousand dollars worth of improvements had been made on the property and building. For in consideration of the service this young man rendered the congregation got together, planked down the money and presented him with an automobile costing one thousand dollars. Finishing this great work he heard a call from the Macedonia Baptist church at Wheeling and came over to answer it. It needed a man, for they had only 60 members and no where to go to worship, their building having been destroyed by fire. Since being here, they have purchased a lot costing four thousand dollars, paid for it and put in $15,000 improvements, paying for them and now they are getting ready to erect a building to cost $30,000, and the people believe in their leader. The membership has jumped from 60 to 500 USE HUTCH-O NON-ALCOHOLIC EXTRACTS EXTRA STRONG which will not Bake or Freeze Out ABSOLUTELY PURE Ask your grocervman for HUTCH-O If he doesn't hardle it send us his name Hutch-O Food Pro. Co. Kansas City, Mo. - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 AND THE COLORED BOYS WERE THERE Just as, when they went over the top, so were the boys in line, in the Legion parade. They made a respectabe showing as they proudly marched in the great parade. We understand they are to do themselves grander still, in the celebration of Armistice Day. And let us all hope that they will as well also, that all the civic and fraternal bodies and orders will turn out largely and help us make the day all it should be. For indeed the idea of disarmament, for which we shall on that day stand, is quite as important as that which we have just celebrated. And we do hereby most urgently request that every member of Hardy Harpole Post, as well also, every ex-service man, who has not yet joined, will meet on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 6, at 2:30, at Thatcher's undertaking rooms, on North Fifth street, to make final arrangements for this great and most worthy event. I. F. BRADLEY, Adjutant. in nearly three years and in the bank is to be found over six thousand dollars to the credit of the church on the building fund, and more is being added every week. That's going some. This is what it means to have a trained man. Now I am here in this city, and I am here on the invitation of Miss Alma R. Lightfoot, who is one of the public school teachers, and a worker in the Y. W. C. A. I shall not be able to tell you much about them this time, but will do so in my next letter. This is one of the cities that I have not been in before, and I find from observation that it is worth while, but I am not going to talk about it now, because I want to tell you that Pesident Warren G. Harding has been going some, and I want to congratulate him on his speech. What President Harding has said, is what is true, and the position that all sane Americans should take, but it has given the belly ache, the tooth ache, the heart ache and all other kinds of aches to a few of them moss backs in the United States Senate from Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and some other God forsaken place. Men who would like to keep a man of my race out of Heaven and then keep them out of hell unless they would be allowed to draw the color line, but his satanic majesty is too wise for that. He will take them as they come, and assign them according to arrival. I would just like to be chief fireman in Hades when some of them Negro haters arrived, and I wouldoke the hot irons in them for one time. I would just like to be boss in that clime long enough to teach them a few lessons down there that they should have learned up here. But let me not get wicked, let me not forget God. To God I commend all of those who are now abusing President Harding and I am sure He will take care of them. I am a citizen of of the United States, and when we were getting it and it seemed that the Huns were going to give us a heliva time, it was then that all the south wanted us to join in and help to protect our flag. I could not go myself, but my money went. I want to get into the fight myself, and I was willing to bare my breast for Old Glory, and this is what I am willing to do at all times. They wanted us to buy and we did buy stamps. bonds, contributed to the Red Cross, and every other cause which meant winning the war. We were willing to make a charge on hides itself to protect OUR FLAG. We have always been willing to enjoy some of the things for which our fathers, sons and brothers died. I wonder where, in the 'll (Concluded on Fourth Page) Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, November 4, 1921 WITH THE BUSINESS INTERESTS OF THE RACE IN KANSAS CITY In this column we will endeavor to give a review of the business interests of our race from time to time.

His splendid wife, Mrs. Miles, is one of the strong spokes in the wheel to his success. J. P. McNair some few years ago placed on the corner of Freeman avenue and Tenth street a two-story concrete building, with a business room attached, in which he put in a stock of groceries and fresh meats. Today Mr. McNair is doing a business to be proud of and his trade is increasing in a satisfactory way.

Meade, ‘Fist published Oct. 21, 1921) DIAMOND HAS MANY VIRTUES But According to Superstition the Gem Must Be a Gift to Person Who Wears It According to superstition (and to fact also), the owner of a diamond is lucky, mdeed. The diamond should be worn upon the left side, for it Is of greater virtue there, for the strength of Its growing is toward the North, that is the left side of the world, and the left part of a man when he turneth his face toward the East, He who carrles a diamond will have strength and manhood; it will keep him from harm, especially from broken limbs, It will give him vic- tory over ull his enemies if his cause Is righteous, It will keep him from strife and rlots, and is a talisman against enchantments. In fact, if an enchanter tries to work a spell upon the possessor of a diamond he will find It wilt work upon himself instead. No wild beast will attack the diamond owner. It heals all manner of mental troubles, If poison be brought near It, the diamond will become moist and sweat. Iu order to be of the greatest virtue, the diamond must be given freely instead 6f being bought. PUT MUCH FAITH IN ACORN In England It Is Looked Upon as Protector Against Lightning, and as Love Charm. From Dtuidical times the acorn has been held to be a sure protection against lightning, 1s the tops of many flagstafts, the end of cornice poles, umbrella tassels and blindcords still attest. Even to this day, in English rural districts, when a thunderstorm threatens, farm-laborers and others will hie them to the nearest oak tree, gather un acorn, an‘ carry St about with them tll the sky clears, In many parts of Great Britain a girl jilted by her lover will seek by the light of the moon for u dried acorn beneath an oak tree, This she will burn at mid- night In a candle flame, reciting mean- while the following doggerel: “Tis not this acorn J would burn, but my true love's heart that I would turn, May he no joy nor profit see, tilt he comes \back again to me.” Welsh peasants hold that to plant an acorn brings lifelong gocd luck; a simple way, one would Imagine, to assure one’s future success. Tlie resultant sapling, how- ever, must on no account be trans- planted, If this ts done, most terrible things are bound to happen.
