C. L., spoke to two lage audiences this week in Kansas City, Kansas. Tuesday night, the local league held a meeting at First A. M. E. church, when Mr. Garvey spoke to a full house of enthusiastic members and good listeners. The speaker, having another meeting on the Missouri side, was a little late appearing and the meantime a short program was rendered, then Mrs. Henrietta Vinton Davis of New York, and, as she stated, "A forerunner" of Mr. Garvey was introduced, in a creditable manner, by Mr. James Moore, president of the local branch, who entertained the anxious audience in fine language and striking sentences, until the president arrived. Mrs. Davis showed she was fully able to take care of the situation and received many hearty applauses. Mr. Garvey arrived about 10 o'clock with great cheers and was immediately introduced by Rev. J. H. Lee in a few well chosen words. The speaker started in at once, giving and outlining his movement, which would be in the final as he greatly emphasized, wou'd be a country that rightfully belonged to the Negro, where he would be in full control, as its heads of judicial and legislative powers and this country was Africa. He spoke for one and a-half hours and at, times with great bursts of oratory. He said they had four and one-half million members, with 800 Leagues, and the movement was only four and one-half years old. Mr. Garvey spoke again Wednesday night at Mt. Zion church on Virginia avenue to another large crowd. Prescriptions called for and delivered free. Call Drexel 2556.

CHURCH PULLS OFF RALLY FOR $1776.76 The Mason Memorial M. E. church, at the corner of Oakland avenue and Ninth strete, Rev. P. A. Morrow, pastor, pulled off Sunday one of its greatest financial rallies, the sum of $1776.76 being the total turned in during the day. This amount was remarkable for the size of this membership.

ADVOCATE PYTHIAN CARNIVAL TO RUN TWO MORE WEEKS The Pythian Carnival that has been running two weeks and was to have closed last Monday night, was decided by the managers on the to be closing night, to run another two weeks, closing Monday night, March 20. While the weather in the past two weeks has been very inclement, the attendance has been very good and if the weather man wil just do a little better these two weeks, the building committee feels they will soon turn their attention towards putting up the next story. Everything is dry and warm in the basement of the Temple where the Carnival is being held at 524 State avenue. Many new features are being put on and excellent music every night. A CALL FOR A DELEGATE CONVENTION By virtue of the power vested in me by a resolution adopted by the Kansas Lincoln Day Club, at its meeting held in the city of Topeka on Feb. 13, 1922 I do here by issue a call for a delegate convention to be held on Saturday, the sixth day of May, 1922, at 12 o'clock m., cf said date, in the city of Topeka, Shawnee County, Kansas. The meeting will be held in Metropolitan Hall, 404 and 406 Kansas avenue. As fixed by the resolution adopted by the club, the apportionment is as follows: Counties having a colored population of 5000 or more 7 men and 3 women delegates, and alternates. Counties having a colored population of 2000 and less than 5000, 5 men and 2 women, and alternates. In counties having a colored population of less than 1000, 3 men women delegates and alternates; 2 men and 3 women delegates at large may be appointed. It is desired that the voters of each county interested, will select their delegates and alternates, and forward the names and addresses to Jas. H. Guy, Topeka, on or before the first day of April; 1922, that a complete roster may be made. According to resolutions adopted by the club, the purpose of the convention is to organize and form a political league; to adopt a constitution and by-laws for its governmt; to appoint a national board of directors for the purpose of securing such political patronage to the colored people of the state, as they are justly entitled to have. In your selection of delegates, it is desired that care be taken, and that persons be selected, who are really anxious to see the colored voters of the state have, and receive, proper political recognition, and who themselves are devoid of personal interest. It is now time that the colored voters of the state put forth their best efforts to regain some of the political patronage and prestige once enjoyed in this state and nation. President Harding's Birmingham speech, on the race question, is an eye opener. Coming as it does from the head of the nation, should cause the colored people to stand up and take notice. The time for playing politics is past. It is time to get down to business. JAS. H. GUY, 410 Kansas Avenue, Topeka, Kansas, Phones 3251 or 3979. Dated this 25th day of February, 1922.

I am just as proud that I am a member of your race as you are that you are a member of mine, and at all times rejoice in the fact that we have given to the world some great men, and these men have made their places just like others. For when you speak of Abraham Lincoln the Emancipator, there comes before your mind Frederick Douglass, who was also a great man and a member of the emancipated race. Frederick Douglass was a great man, and we all are proud that he lived and he still lives in the hearts of the thinkers of the lovers of true manhood. He lived and erected only a monument by his efforts for his people at the time they needed a man to speak out for us. We do not see any great institutions established, but we do see here and there men who caught a new hold on life, by him having lived and walked these streets down here, and we all stopped to shed a tear when he passed away. His memory is sweet, and we can point him out as an example to our boys and girls. We are going to keep his name alive, and some of his deeds. There have been other great men produced in America, and they have filled well their places, but in this early manhood I speak of only two men, but I have in mind now another man, who stood at the head of his class during his life, and he had but to fold his arms, and welcome the change of worlds. He went to be with Douglass and others who had inspired him. They are going to unveil the Booker T. Washington monument at Tuskegee Institute, April 5, and if you can get hold of the money you should be there to contribute your presence to this occasion. I would like for it to be the greatest in the history of that great institution, and then the founder, if he could tell you how pleased he would be at your being present on this occasion. Every human being who knew Mr. Washington should be present and should lend their presence, if nothing else. Every race and nationality will be present, and some of the biggest men in America of both races, will be there. The Founders' Lay address itself will be delivered by Dr. Wallace Buttrick, chairman of (Concluded on Fourth Page) THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop. Thos.

Old First church was packed with church goers, the downstairs being full at the appointed hour of worship. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, delivered his fourth sermon of his seris of five. The fifth sermon will b edelivered Sunday, March 19, as this Sunday is quarterly meeting, causing the postponement. The fourth sermon, "Souls Returning," was of wonderful power and greatly felt by both saint and sinner, so much so, that some came for the first time and acknowledged Christ, as their Savior. At each one of these series of sermons, sinners have confessed a hope in a saving Redeemer. This (Friday night) quarterly love feast will take place, the presiding elder, Rev. A. C. Terrell, having charge. Sunday is the second quarterly meeting for this conference year. The communion semon will be preached at 3 p. m., by Rev. T. D. Scott, pastor of our church at Leavenworth. Monday night the quarterly conference will be held by the presiding elder, when quarterly reports will be made from every department of the church. The Knife and Fork banquet is all the talk now among members and friends who attend this mammoth affair each year. It looks now as if it will surpass any banquet of the seven that have been held. If you expect to be present on this occasion, you had better secure what tickets you need now, as only a certain number will be put out.

W. MORGAN, Reporter. The Junior church is still on the job. The little soldiers show no signs of tiring at this stage but on the contrary they are going better than ever. Come out and help encourage them. The 11:30 services were benefited very much by the splendid sermon delivered by Rev. Minlon, the Saviour's worker in the Kansas missionary field. We are always glad to have our missionary with us. The Sunday school is holding its own. Our teachers study unceasingly to be able to give their classes an intelligent explanation of each Sunday's lesson. We enjoyed the sermon by our pastor last Sunday night. His subject was "Jesus Our Bondsman." His text was found in St. John 18,8, "If therefore ye see me let these alone!" I am reluctant to say that the members of the community were very slow in gathering last Sunday. The cause is not known, but I hope to see the seats filled at 4:30 next Sunday afternoon so the program will not be delayed. The city has already felt the effects of this meeting and it is talked about everywhere. The aim of this meeting is being carried out, but not to the extent that it should be carried out with the extensive field we have to work in and the unlimited talent in this city to draw from. Our aim is to render service. Do you wont to serve your community, your race, humanity and God? Then come out next Sunday and help us in this great work- We were entertained last Sunday by Group No.1. The program was good. We enjoyed some good musical selections, after which the members engaged in a discussion of the Dyer anti-lynching bill. Next Sunday's program will be rendered mostly by local talent. Come out and see your own. Help, encourage them for making an effort. IN MEMORIAM In memory of Alex W. Marr, who passed away twenty-two years ago, March 1, 1900. Out in Woodlawn softly sleeping in his narrow sodded bed, lies our dear father and husband. While the stars shine overhead. The nights are sad and lonely. The days roll slowly on. Oh, many are the heartaches, since you, dear husband, have gone. Gone in the best of his days, blighted in manhood's bloom, torn from hearts that loved him, to leave only sorrow and gloom. A wonderful father, patient, loving and kind, but a beautiful memory, but has left behind. How often our thoughts do wonder to a grave not so far away, where we laid our dear husband and father. swenty-two years ago today. Sadly missed by wife and daughter, Alice T. Marr; W. Houston Marr, Ida Mae Marr Cantrell. PETER M. BURKE MEN AND WOMEN WANTED The People's Overall and Shirt Manufacturing Company, Kansas City, Kansas, will soon throw open its doors for business.

"LEST WE FORGET" Let it be remembered, that Tuesday night, the 14th, the Civic League will meet at its rooms over the Home Drug Co. A large attendance is expected, as many matters of importance will come before the members for consideration, among the more important will be the schools, taxation, the expenditure of public money, our quota of public distribution, as well also, matters of rational import. And in addition, the all-important matter of the spring drive for membership will be put on by which we hope to raise the roll to several hundred. Several other matters are ripe fo action also, among them that of the election. It has been suggested that we meet more frequently, so that the meetings will not have such an accumulated amount of work to perform. It is hoped that members will spare no pains in bringing out a goodly number. "To the work, to the work, There is labor for all; If we should have the kingdom Of darkness and terror to fall." We must ourselves become the factors who shall bring to bear this most desirable situation. There will also be an address by a gentleman from outside of the city, on the subject of organization. Mr. Walter McClelland is said to have gone to Los Angeles to administer to his father, Mr. George McClelland, who is still sick there.

WASHINGTON MONUMENT TO BE UNVEILED (Continued from First Page) the general education board, and there will be present Hon. Josephus Daniels, ex-secretary of the navy, who will represent the south; and our people will be represented by Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago, who was a personal friend of Dr. Washington. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, who served for almost a quarter of a century as secretary to the noted educator, will formally present the mon-ument, to the Board of Trustees. I have it from Dr. Robert R. Moton, that Honorable William G. Wilcox, New York City, chairman of the Board of Trustees, will be present with a large party from New York, and Julius Rosenwald, Chicago philanthropist, will have a large party from Chicago, and many other prominent people from both races will come in groups and special Pullman cars, and others. You know of th work of Booker T. Washington, and he has lived well his day, and now we pause just to pay a tribute to him, and this will be done from time to time. Even our unborn children will keep up the custom. It was fitting that there was a strong intellectual giant. Dr. R. R. Moton, to take up the work and go right on with it. Each man stands for himself. Moton is not a second edition of Dr. Washington, for that would be impossible, but he is a strong man, a giant in intellect, a giant in thought, a giant in work. He is just keeping up the good work in a manne pleasing to Dr.Washington. These two men were personal friends. Both of them products of Hampton, served under General Armstrong, both of them worked their way through school, both of them worked side by side in this work. Do you know Robert R. Moton? I would like for you to know him, for some day you will be able to refer to him as you do to Booker T. Washington. There are but few men alive today who knew Abraham Lincoln, and I doubt whether there is a living soul who saw George Washington, but it was but yesterday that all business was paused to pay a tribute to this great hero, and so it will be with Booker T. Washington, and we are all proud that Moton still lives. Right by his side is Albion L. Holsey, his secretary. I find much pleasure in spending my last days in coming in touch with great men and women and in visiting the schools that are helping to bring out true manhood and WE HAVE THEM FOR ADOPTION LET US CARE FOR YOUR BABY, SICK OR WELL, IN OUR NURSERY DEPARTMENT Private Confinement a Specialty THE PIONEER MATERNITY SANITARIUM 422 MINNESOTA AVENUE KANSAS CITY, KANSAS PHONE FAIRFAX 4995 DR.

We are getting into our heads that to be a man you must be a thinker, and you must not be led around by the nose by the thoughtless. There was a time in this world that "Mister Charley" used to appoint leaders for my people: The man who could go around and make a speech or two, cry down his people, talk a little about "Gib us separate cars; and we don't want no Social Quality.' was announced as the leader of the Negro race; and called a smart man, and you could see him any time with his hat under his arm scratching where they were biting and looking down at the ground saying, "Yassa boss." But he is being shoved back where he belongs, and the man who can stand erect and look very man in the face and say, "I want for my people anything and everything that any other man wants for his people' is the man who is being pushed to leadership. When it comes to this social business, it will take care of itself, for every man selects his guest for his home, and no man can legislate another man into the private home of another man. If it should be tried, Hades would break out on earth. I am here at Voorhees normal and industrial school. This school was founded by Miss Elizabeth Wright, who has gone to her long reward. She was a product of Tuskegee Institute, and she is succeeded by Martin A. Menefee the man she married just before she crossed over the river. He was with her in the establishment of the school. He is a safe leader and the work going, and then all without debt. I don't know how it is done, but it is done. I went to Marianna, Florida, a few weeks ago, and the people were all stirred up, because Prof. Aaron Malone was booked to be there, and they wanted to meet the great man of our race. I did not know of his coming to this part of the world, and I was there myself to meet him. But there came a slick looking individual, who declared that he had bought out Poro College, and that he was going to distribute among the people the Malone wealth. That he was an agent for the wealth, and Mr. and Mrs. Malone had retired. I just slipped out, secured an officer and this fellow was placed in jail for a few minutes, and then given a few hours to leave town. He got out in a hurry, declaring that he was misunderstood, that he represented Madame Walker, but would resign and would go out preaching as he had been commissioned to do: Just as soon as the Washington Monument is unveiled, then we are going to turn attention to the National Baptist Sunday School and B.Y.P.U. Congress. Did you know that Booker T. Washington was a Baptist? He was, and Robert R. Moton is now a good strong Baptist, and the executive board of the National Baptist convention will meet in Tuskegee, April 4, and will be through in time to attend the unveiling. We will be there for that purpose. Will you attend? Let every Baptist who can raise the price be there. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Our best efforts are put forth in our Prescription Department.

"Grace, however, I made a very stormy passage across the Atlantic, and got frightfully seasick. The ship's doctor, a genial young chap, prescribed champagne for me, a half bottle twice a day, and say, I wish you could have seen the perfect and unfalling regularity with which that young medico would drop in at the appointed hour and join me in carrying out his prescription. On the Other Hand. The late Edgar Saltus, the brilliant and satirical novelist, said one day at a New York wedding breakfast, where the bridegroom was a millionaire of forty-five: "Our Rockefellers and Schwabs and Russell Sages married in their first youth. Well, our successful men don't marry now as early as they used to, but, on the other hand—" And Mr. Saltus looked round the table with a bland smile. "On the other hand, they marry oftener." 'N Ev'rything. "My own!" he exclaimed, as they were starting on their wedding journey. "Does it make you happy to know that you are mine—all mine—forever?" "Yes, it makes me awfully happy," she replied. "Now I can eat candy without being afraid of getting fat, and have a charge account and everything, can't I?" Did She Admit It? "Well, remarked a gentleman, after a long argument on the question of man's superlity over woman, "at least there is one good, sweet and perfect thing which a man can have and a woman cannot." "Never!" cried his wife, passionately. "Never! I deny it! What do you mean?" "A wife?"—The Sealsman. After Christmas Task. Blackstone—Have a cigar, old man. Webster—No, thanks. I'm trying to get rid of mine, too. "What is worse than amateur theatricals?" "Amateur paperhanging." Favorite Season—in June. She—Don't you love winter?

Arthur MacLaughlin of Detroit is responsible for this story sent me by my friend, Leo D. Brown, of the Cosmopolitan Book corporation: "A Reno gent had, on a Saturday night, become very much absorbed in 'The Tale of Two Cities.' Particularly was he impressed with the description of the guillotine and the misfortunes upon whose necks it descended so devastatingly. The vision preyed upon his imagination. "Next day his wife insisted that he accompany her to church. He drowsed during an inordinately long prayer and dreamed that the guillotine was about to descend on his bent neck. Wife, upon, resuming her seat when the prayer was over, noticed that her husband was asleep and still leaning forward, his head resting on his hands on the pew ahead. And so, with her fan, she tapped him lightly upon the back of the neck. Whereupon the gent fell dead." What a fearful lesson for wives!—W. O. T. in the Philadelphia Public Ledger. KNEW WHAT MADE THE DARK To Small Girl, the Shades of Night Were Matters of Quite Simple Explanation. When the late John Bigelow, once minister to France, was calling at a friend's house, he was entertained while waiting for the home-coming of the older people by the small daughter. At last Mr. Bigelow said, "I don't think I will wait for them any longer, as you see it is getting dark." "Mr. Bigelow, what makes it get dark?" she inquired. "Ah," he answered, "I don't think I can explain it so that a little girl could understand it." "But I know why it is." "You do? Then you explain it to me?" The blonde head nodded. "God shuts his eyes," she replied. To be truly out of the world is never to hear any of the risque stories. It will generally be found that one has less faith in exercise than he has in medicine. Don't tell your hard luck story to the other fellow—he may be waiting to tell his. Most of the uplifts fall because the uplifters are mad at the folks they want uplifted. Never hit a man when he is down unless you are sure of your ability to keep him down. One of the faults of antique furniture is that it needs a room about 20 by 20 to show it off. CHRISTMAS GIFTS. THE best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your hearr; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to a mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity."—F. M. Balfour. Ironing Board Cover. Cut and hem a piece of unbleached muslin, about four inches wider and longer than your ironing board, so that it laps over about two inches under the board. Then crochet an edge of six chain and fasten, and so on until you have edged the entire piece. Lay the cloth on the board, turn over and lace it with, a slit card or tape, the same as you would lace a shoe—using, however, only about every fourth loop. The cover can be easily removed and washed. QUAKOR OIL Hunt for Colda. Catcatch. Gripe. Bronchitis. Was in great demand for use as a preventive during the epidemic of Spanish Influenza.
