Mr. Garvey was here not many weeks ago and spoke to a mammoth audience at First A. M. E. church and the meeting of last week was none the less. Rev. John H. Lee, the president of the local division, in a few interesting remarks, introduce Harry Calhoun as master of ceremonies, who in turn introduced the speaker, after a number of musical selections: Mr. Garvey was at his best and entertained the large assemblage for an hour and a half on the possibilities of the Negro forming and controlling a colony in Africa Mr. Garvey stated many false accusations had been made, by press and public; as to the fundamental principles of the organizations, of which he was at the head. He said it was his life work and expected to use the balance of his days in trying to show his people the wisdom of his vision. Other speakers were Mrs. Lillian Willis, of New York; Hon. A. W. Pendley, of the Denver, Calo., division; Charles Jackson and Prof. J. P. King, of this city.

Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, May 26, 1922 CITY MONARCHS OPEN WITH 13-FRAME EXHIBITNON Wilkerson's gingery Monachs in their opening game Saturday on their home grounds, was made to go 13 frames by their competitors, St. Louis Giants. Manager Wilkerson selected the old faithful Rube Currie for his opening pitcher, with Frank Duncan receiver, and everything went well until the ninth inning, when the visitig team put over two runs and tied the score, then nothing was doing until the last half of the thirteenth inning, when the Monarchs put over the winning run. Mendez was called to the mound for the home team in the tenth and held the strong Giants until the winning run came across. The St. Louis manager selected as his mound performer his star flinger, the mighty Drake, with "Jay Bird" Ray, former Monarch receiver behind the bat, but one Mr. Oldham worked the last four innings. The mayors of the two Kansas Cities, Harry B. Burton of the Kansas side, and Mayor Cromwell of the Missouri side formed the battery at the start. A crowd of 3,500 saw the opening game, all going home with a seasoned smile on their faces. At 12:30 the two teams in autos, with hundreds of citizens in cars, led by the Second regiment K. P. band, paraded the colored districts and down town and then to Association Park, where the band after the two teams and the Twilight City League teams with the two mayors leading marched around the field. Band gave concert until 3 p. m.

A fellow can just mingle and mingle with, educated people, until he can imagine himself to be one of them and it makes him just feel all over himself. Such as this is the feeling I have today as I sit down in the office of the president of Allen University, Dr. R. W. Mance, and pen you a few lines to inform you of my health and to let you know that I have been going some, and give you a kind of hankering to be with me. Just at this time you find young men and women holding up the universe with one hand, and in the other they have a great future. They have in their minds because they are today receiving their diplomas, and graduating from this and that high school, and from that and the other college and university, the world is going to look up to them and their much learning. That is far from being true, for they are just now ready to come in contact with a cold bloody world, a world that will not stop to read a diploma, but will demand of each individual to stand up as a man or woman or be ground into a frazzle. Those who applauded the young graduate when he stood up with his rounded sentences, and correct gestures, and told him that he delivered the greatest speech they had ever heard since they had been listening to speeches, will turn to the other fellow and declare it was a poor offering. This world is full of deception, and your worth cannot be measured by your applause. I would just like to be able to make a world and give a place to every one who graduates, but then I cannot do this, and if I could make a world I would not have a place to put it without infringing on God's world, for He has taken up all the spare space—and I am informed that He made space also. I am just going to keep up, and I believe that the time will come when some of these graduates will just invent another world and make a place for mine. You will agree that I have been going some, and I am going some more. When I took my pen in hand to write to you last week, I was in Danville, Virginia, looking at them Baptists, put down money for education and missions. I just looked and looked at them. I saw so many young men in the front, and so many young men doing things. I just had to take off my hat to President T. J. King of Richmond," the man who is leading the Baptist host in Virginia. He is just a leader. When I got through with the convention I started for another part o fthe world. There was a young man hitched up his automobile car carriage, and started me off for the stable to get on the, iron car for Richmond. I got down, there, and when I got up the steps I could hardly er part of the world. There was were back trying to make a claim on my frame for food and drink. I told the young man that I wanted a bed car over to Richmond, and he told me to walk right in, and soon had me in lower six. I did some sleeping, believe me, honey. There were others, for I heard one person sleeping in spranner, another in contralter, another in alter, another in base and still another in baretone. I do not know what my key was, but I joined in the chorus at any rate. Richmond reached, I went out to see some friends. I went to the home of Mrs. E. C. Jackson, the trained nurse, and she fixed me up some medicine that had already been furnished by Dr. George C. Hall of Chicago, and that checked the bug seek (Concluded on Fourth Page) SOMETHING NEW—"THE LUCKY 13" OF Calvary Baptist Church, Kansas City, Mo.

Canadian Justice An Ontario farmer caught a young woman doing a "September Morn" on his property and had her hailed before the county magistrate. The aged dispenser of justice consulted a dog-eared copy of the statute and buried himself in its pages for several minutes, then closing the legal tome and stroking his beard he said very solemnly: "The charge is dismissed and the miss is discharged. I find that she has just as much right to a bath in the spring as in the fall." In the Chair I felt his soft breath on my cheek And the gentle touch of his hand His very presence near me Seemed a breeze on the desert sand. My head he did-unfold, Then he broke the silence with, "Shall the filling he silver or gold?" Modest Desire Fond Mother: "Dorothy, if you are bad you won't go to heaven. Don't you know that?"

C., going to the home of Dr. W. H. Jernagin, the president of the National Race Congress, where I spent the night, and spoke for him Sunday morning at Mt. Carmel Baptist church. They had a fine congregation and the people all declared that they were proud to see me there. I tell you it was a fine congregation and Mother's day: They pinned a white flower on me, because my mother was dead. I will never get another mother in this world. In the afternoon it did rain some, and when the rain was over I went to the Vermont Avenue Baptist church, where I found Dr. James E. Willis, the pastor, and the successor to the late George W. Lee.

I enjoyed looking at them, and they called upon me to preach a sermon to the Odd Fellows and the Ruths, and believe me, I tried my hand. After preaching I went down to the stable, got me another bed car, for Philadelphia. Reaching Philadelphia, the next morning, when we got there I went right on to the home of Mrs. Emily Gaines, and she received me, declaring that she was glad to welcome me to her home. She is a product of Normal, Ala., under the late William H. Councill. Her husband is a well trained man. He got his foundation at Snow Hill, and then attended some of the leading schools of the North. I do not remember. Mrs. Gaines is the victim of an automobile wreck. She was in the hospital three months., and is now getting around the best she can. I got around some in Philadelphia, and left there, returning to Washington, and then to Richmond, Va., where I spent a whole night and them on to THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE, KANSAS CITY, KANSAS THE BEST LAUNRY SERVICE POSSIBLE SOFT WATER USED EXCLUSIVELY BY US PHONE HARRISON 0592 KANSAS CITY, MO. Norfolk. I find that they are real busy there getting ready for the National Negro Business League. They are going to put on some stunt there during the session, and the people will be highly entertained. Already to the committees are being formed, and there is one man to give his whole time to making plans. L. W. Bright is going to out hotel. Mt. Vernon in apple pie order, and everything will be ready for the people when they get there. There is an unusual amount of interest in the National Negro Business League this year, and it promises to be the greatest in the history of the organization. These men are going to keep alive the great organization brought into life by Dr. Booker T. Washington. We are showing to the world that we can keep alive the work of our great men and they walk around here in more grandeur than when they were on earth. Such is the love of our people for Dr. Washington who lived well yesterday and is resting today. I wonder what he is doing in Heaven today? I wonder if there are any activities up there? If so, he is one more busy man. I know he has met those who left ahead of him, and has reported to them and then he has talked with Jesus. I am going to join him myself one of these days. You get ready and attend the meeting is Norfolk. All Tidewater will entertain you. They know how to do things in this part of our common country. Next then I started for Kinston, where I had been invited to deliver the commencement address at Kinston college. Now you see they think I am one of the "ITS" for they invite me to speak to graduates at a college. I made the talk, and they had many people to hear me. It was a pleasure to be there. Now I am right here at Allen University the guest of Dr. R. W. Mance. Do you know him? Well he is one of the leading men of this country and I am sure that, South Carolina is proud of him. He is some educator believe me. He was born right here in this state; and got his swamp university training here, and that was the school of common sense, and then he took on the education which places him with the educated men of the country in the public schools and then Claflin University. He took time to get it well. He taught in the public school and later accepted a call from Heaven to carry the word where it was needed. He was pastor of some good schools and churches. Six years ago, he was called to the presidency of Allen University, and wonderful has been his pro-progress. They are going to have three graduates from the college department, two from the theological department, and 63 from the normal department, and six from domestic arts and science. I want to tell you what else. In 1924, the general conference has in mind to call him up higher, and he has won the place. He is going to be one of the bishops of his church, and you may tell them now that I told you. Will let you know more later. I will have to bring this letter to a stop.

No matter how little we think about it, the Junior church 10:30 a. m., is doing good work. Each Sunday some child is helped. We might not be able to see it now, but if we continue to cultivate the tender plants it will show itself after while. The 11:30 services were well attended. The spirit is running higher and higher as the rally day draws near. Our pastor, Rev. J. R. Richardson, preached a very able sermon. He had the spirit without measure. The third chapter of St. John. With the coming of summer and its many natural attractions on the outside our faithful community meeting was well attended. The program last Sunday was very good. The music and literary part of the program was excellent. The address by Rev. Ream was wonderful. His subject was "Practical Community Welfare." The hinderance to this, he said was personal independence; ignorance about the community needs; indifference toward the community and laziness; prejudice. The cures, he said, were good strong physical bodies; intellectual welfare; community welfare coupled with moral welfare; religious welfare. Come out next Sunday at 4:30 and hear one of the greatest programs ever witnessed. It will be given under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. As next Sunday will be the last until the first of September, we would like to have a full house. --- INTER-CITY B. B.
