JOHNSON & SON GROCERY COMPANY We have among our racial group at what is known as Greystone Heights in the south part of the city, one colored enterprise, the Johnson & Son Grocery Company; located at 28 Blaine street. Frank Johnson is the senior partner, an old and popular railroad man, who has lived in this community for a number of years; in fact he bought and located next door to his place of business, which is only a year old, when there were only two other colored families in this community and today they have a school building employing two teachers, which is surrounded with a large number of home owners and many others are buying substantial homes. Mr. Johnson owns several nice pieces of property on the street he lives and has been the leading factor in building up this community and its improvements. Mr. Johnson has a fine family, a splendid companion, with a daughter, who looks after the business of the store when he is out on his run. He has two boys in High school closing their first and second years, respectively. The grocery is located in a fine stone building of which Mr. Johnson had built to suit the business and, in the time he has been in it, he has drawn a nice substantial trade and it is still increasing. Mrs. Mary Brummel of Trenton, Mo., was here last week to see her son, Willie, graduate from Sumner High school. Mrs. Brummel stopped with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Perry, 814 Nebraska avenue. - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE - TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 AN'OMISSION On the Sumner High School Commencement program, the name of Evonne Adams should have appeared in the list of graduates who received special merit seals. Her name was in adventently omitted, and Prof. Hodge takes this means of correcting the mistake. KITTRELL HONORS OUR RENOWNED RACE WOMAN Kittrell, N. C., May 2.—At the thirty-sixth anniversary of Kittrell college, and the annual commencement held here today, the honorary degree of Master of Arts was conferred on Mrs. Annie E. Malone, founder of Poro college, St. Louis, and one of the foremost women of the race. The Master of Arts degree was also conferred on Prof. J. H. Avery, of Durham, of the North Carolina Life Insurance company. He is regarded as one of the leading educators of the race and a man of wonderful influence among the people of the state. Diplomas were awarded 28 graduates. Miss Daisy E. Cenrad, of Guthrie, Okla., graduated from the college department with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The annual commencement address was delivered by the Rev. Dr. A. L. Gaines of Baltimore, Md., who is a prospective bishop of the A. M. E. church. Seivice and Co-operation was the theme discussed and some real practical common sense advice was given to the young people, who were urged to be manly, and not to sacrifice manhood or womanhood for position or name. "Serve well in any capacity you may be placed," he said, "and let that be your recommendation. Be a real doer and not a plodder. "The world is calling loud and long for a man, and color has nothing to do with a man—a man who can render the service of a man; it matters not in what capacity, is the one that is wanted. Take time and prepare, and you will find yourself growing." Dr. G. A. Edwards, president of the college, made a few remarks, and the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred by Bishop J. Albert Johnson, D.D., of Philadelphia, on Revs. A. D. Avery, Winston-Salem, N. C.: W. C.-Cleland, Durham; J. D. Cowan, Asheville; D. L. Crady, Wilmington, J. S. Batcher, Roanoke, Va.; W. S. Bowerton, Richmond, Va.; J. Alex Valentine, Kittrell. At the annual meeting of the trustees held yesterday it was decided to erect a dormitory for boys costing $150,000 and the work will start at once. President Edwards, who is an architect, will superintend the building. THE CIVIC LEAGUE On account of the uncertainty of the weather, and the many other attractions going on, the meeting of the Civic League was postponed until next Tuesday, the 6th of June. At which time all committees are expected to report, upon the matters and things in hand. Much general good feeling has been expressed by many persons as to the possibilities for good in the League, and many have expressed a desire to affiliate. It seems that our eyes are opening to the real facts in the case, and we are learning, as all others had to learn, that our success depends upon our own efforts, while our failures may always be traced directly to the lack of them. There are several matters mentioned for consideration, but on account of a larger number not being present it was thought best to adjourn the meeting until June 6. Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, June 2, 1922 NEW LAUNDRY ORGANIZATION N. B. Robinson, the Prompt, Efficient Laundryman, has founded a company, which will take over the business owned and controlled by him.

HOLDS ITS 26th ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT The twenty-sixth annual commencement of the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute marked the close of a successful year. The commencement sermon was preached by Bishop N. C. Cleaves of St. Louis, Mo. He is a forceful speaker and a wise leader. The auditorium was filled and seating room could not be found for all those who came to hear him. Bishop N. C. Cleaves took for his subject, "Daniel's Noble Purpose." He pointed out Daniel's temptation, his stand, and his reward. The life of Daniel is a model for all young people. *World Living Too High* "One thing that threatens the American people today," he said, "is that they are living on too high a plane. They are living above the things that are conducive to the best thinking." The commencement exercises were held at two o'clock Wednesday in the chapel.

He urged the graduates that if they had gotten all this school could give them, then go out into the school of hard knocks and complete their education. Helm Gives Alumni Address Hon.

I. that I first thought of becoming a lawyer, and where I first found myself. I am interested in better citizenship, and I believe that good citizenship is the boy or girl, man or woman, that lives a better life, every day."

Hopkins, attorney general, to the graduates at the commencement exercises. Urged Them to Be Useful Principal G. R.

If any sane United States Senator, who claims to have the least bit of humanity running through his veins and had any doubt in his mind, as to the timely necessity of the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, since the awful inhuman atrocities, in Texas and other states has taken place, in the last few weeks, certainly would be classed less than a human being. These 10 lynchings in Texas alone have been the most brutal and barbarous that has ever occurred in a Christian nation. How long will the powers to be allow this mutilation of human beings to continue? It is sure to continue and the perpetrators go unpunished, so long as the hearts of those who are in authority are unchanged. Think of it—women and children being schooled in the arranging of a funeral pyre! It is a certainty our government cannot stand or hold her place among civilized nations and survive long with its present present depths.of sin. SHOWS UNAPPRECIATION Tuesday afternoon and evening, the Douglass Hospital club, a very worthy body of our best women, held a bazaar and entertainment at the Pythian Temple for this needy charitable institution and the attendance and support was very meager, saying the least This club has worked hard to assist this hospital, that it might be kept open for those who need its service from time to time and which is giving to our community relief solely on charity, you might say, and then show such little appreciation as is demonstrated, is discouraging to those who are making such a sacrifice for its welfare. This institution is ours and we ought to support it for the good of unfortunate humanity. You may not need it today, but you can not tell how soon you may be asking for its aid. Miss Alma Griffin, the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. F. Griffin, of 1111 North Eighth street, had the honor of being chosen Valedictorian of the class of 75, who were given diplomas yesterday at Western University Miss Griffin was very active and was found taking a leading part in every avenue of college work.

CHURCH NEWS A congregation of great magnitude attended the services at the 11 o'clock service, whose minds were made to think from the wonderful discourse of the pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, on the subject, "Religion versus Business." The minister showed in a logical and concise argument that business without religion as its fundamental, was a failure, in so far as one's eternal destiny was concerned. It was one of those sermons that caused one to think of how he was dealing with his fellow man. A fine audience attended the evening service, when Dean Alex Jones delivered an excellent sermon. Dean Jones, the assistant pastor, will leave today for Tuskegee, Ala., where he will teach in the summer school of this great institution. The Sabbath school is still growing in numbers and interest but there are many boys and girls still out, who ought to be in attendance every Sunday and learn of Christ and the things that would help build character and good citizenship. Send your children to Sabbath school and give them a chance to develop in good manhood and womanhood. The two Allen Leagues, Senior and Junior, are having helpful meetings every Sunday evening.

He does so wel lthat some seem to think some other great preacher has thrown his mantle on him like Elisha. Rev. Royston is a moral young man and God is giving him greater power daily. The way they shouted over his sermon you would. Have thought an evangelist was preaching. Some also, joined the church. Other visiting ministers were present and all enjoyed a spiritual feast. Mr. E. R. Milton, of Calvary (white) Baptist church of Kansas City, Mo., sang a pathetic solo. He has the principal part in the play to be played at Sumner High school Friday night. At night many heard another good sermon. The children are practicing for Children's day, the second Sunday in June, and the Daughters of Zion and some other clubs are working harder than ever. The coections are large and we gave a sick preacher $11. Next Sunday, June 4, Dr. Redd, who has been recommended very highly, will preach for us. Come and hear him and tell all of your friends to come. Then on Sunday, June 11, Dr. Upshaw, the great, and Dr. E. L. Harrison, ex-pastor, are advertised to be here. We are not sure which one, but one of these great preachers will preach. Dr. Upshaw will be here Wednesday, June 7 and preach in the week. Everybody hear Dr. Upshaw.

THE EDITOR THE WAY OUT OF THE TAX TANGLE The Hon. Board of County Commissioners sitting as an Equalizing Board, County House, Kansas City, Kansas. Gentlemen I wish to inform your honorable body that the real estate as on the tax roll now shows a variation of from $11\frac{1}{2}\%$ to $982\%$ of the bona fide sales value in comparison with the assessed value. I am sure no such difference will exist after the 1922 assessment is completed and written on the tax roll. From my hurried survey of the returns I am sure there is a conflict of judgment, some, in my humble opinion, too jow while others are—above the sale value, but very much nearer a level than at present. I feel sure the real estate dealers and contractors who made the sacrifice to make this assessment were the highest class men who were ever gotten together to make an assessment in this county and that they more closely followed the instructions given them by Judge Howe, chairman of the State Tax Commission, and the statute, which was to asses property at its actual sales value. With many thanks to these splendid men for doing their duty faithfully and honestly as well as efficiently. I have since learned from a reliable source that the other large counties in the state, namely, Sedgwick, Reno and Shawnee, have not adhered to the Tax Commission's instructions or statutes as close as we have and returned their property at 65, 70 and 75 per cent, while we as a whole, in my judgment, have returned ours at 89 to 90 per cent and whereas we were on a 70 per cent basis. To protect our property owners from an unjust proportion of the state tax, I will recommend that your honorable body make a uniform or blanket reduction on every piece and parcel of real estate on the tax roll in this county of 20 per cent. Such a procedure is in your power, as you will note in Section 11336, General Statutes. While it is beyond human possibility, under the present laws, to make a truly just and even assessment, yet we have materially improved the condition in this relation and it will more evenly distribute the valuation. I make this recommendation after careful consideration, so the personal property, which has been reutred very low, will carry its just share of taxes. Yours respectfully, WM. G. BIRD, County Assessor The direct loss to the community, due to the coal and gold mine strike at Cape Town, South Africa, and in the power stations and engineering shops at Johannesburg, together with the loss occasioned by the subsequent revolutionary uprising, which covered a period of ten weeks, is estimated at $35,000,000. The Nova Scotia Employment Service reports an increase in the registration of workers from an average of 2,000 during the winter months, to 2,500 during the first part of April, 1922. "Are those eggs fresh?" "Fresh, mum?" replie dthe veracious dealer, in confidential tones. "I'll tell you how fresh they are, mum. Suppose a friend of mine was to come and say, 'Henry Tripe, I've got a quart of the finest liquor that was ever tasted by mortal man. I'm going to make a little eggnog and I want you to be at the party.' Well, mum," continued the dealer, after a dramatic pause, "them's the eggs I'd give him." The election of Miss Anne Griffey as a member of the board of education in Pulaski county, Arkansas, gives that state its first woman of office holder.

His appeal continues: "It can not be questioned that if the workers succeed in becoming their own furnishers, their own merchants, their own apothecaries, the enormous amount of money which the workers spend for their living will return to its strength to prosecute their fight, for freedom from wage slavery." De Negri calls upon the Mexican workers and farmers to organize immediately for co-operative production and distribution along the lines which he suggests: "I am convinced that if the Mexican-workers will carry out this program he will in a short time become an example of economic independence, and will have an effectiveness and stabilizing influence that we have never reached in all our history. He who thinks he can be called a free man without being the owner of what his efforts produce is simply a miserable fool. Liberty and freedom consist in receiving that to which one has a right, and in fulfilling that which honestly creates a duty as a result of right. If we do this thing the workers of the world will approve our act as a step to liberate ourselves from economic poverty, which is the greatest national calamity of any nation." A new day will dawn for organized labor in America if the administration at Washington were as much concerned about the welfare of the workers as is the, Mexican director general of railways and his official colleagues. Perhaps that is the reason why our department of state refuses to recognize the Mexican government! "How is it that you are never affected this way, Captain?" asked seissick old lady. "Because I always bolt down minceals, madam," replied the weary captain, turning on his heel. FAR WEST LODGE NO. 5 (Lawrence, Kansas) Far West Lodge No. 5, F. & A. A.

You are hereby notified that suit have been filei against you in the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, for a divorce; that the suit was instituted by the above claimed plaintiff on the grounds of Extreme Cruelty That unles you answer, the petition filed herein on or before the 7th day of July, 1922, the allegations and charges contained will be taken as true, and judgment and decree rendered in accordance therewith, divorcing you from the said plaintiff; and with such further relief as to the Court may seem just and proper. Women's-organizations that advocate better social and health conditions for workingmen and women need not look to members of the Ohio Manufacturers' Association, for Contributions. That is made plain in a letter addressed to members urging them to withhold donations to the Ohio Council of Women and Children in Industry, the Ohio Institute for Public Efficiency, the Young Woman's Christian Association, the National Consumers' League, the Women's Christian Temperance Union, the Vocational Bureau of Cincinnati, the Ohio State University, the Urban League of Columbus, the Ohio Council for Family Social Work, the Cleveland Welfare Federation, the Columbus Temple Sisterhod, the Woman's Trade Union League, and the Industrial Health Conservancy Laboratories. All of these' organizations were blacklisted because they have had the temerity to advocate minimum wage and maximum working hours before the Ohio legislature. Oppose Welfare Legislation Manufacturers' attention is called to a recent meeting of the Council of Women and Children in Industry as being prejudicial to the interests of employers, who are urged to make no further cash gifts to any organization whose aim is to improve the condition of women and children workers. These organizations have all adopted the program of the American Society for Labor Legislation," says the Ohio Manufacturers' Association boycotting circular, "and this program includes the short( and shorter) work day, with the S-hour day as the maximum in all employment; minimum wage, old-age pensions, unemployment compensation or insurance, one day's rest in seven, no night work for women, etc., and the establishment of the employers' responsibility for living and housing conditions." "The organizations which are doing this work are largely supported but not directed by you. The Y. W. C. A., which was a most worthy and useful body as originally conceived, is now—at least in industrial centers—a hotbed for socialistic propaganda and legislative experimentation. Its local bodies are often offered by the wives and daughters of business men and manufacturers who have never sought to present the economic side of social problems to their women folks. The libraries and reading courses and reference works are largely made up of socialistic works and the officers will give no hearing to books or speakers on the other side. "What are you goine to do about it? Meetings under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. are going on in every county, and candidates for the legislature are being interviewed and pledged. We are making the campaign possible. I have no right to more than tell you the facts, but I am going to venture to suggest that unless you approve of these schemes to lead industry with the maintenance in decent living conditions, the standard being established by the beneficiaries, of all the inefficient, the lazy, the thriftless and maimed or defectives, you might stipulate the purpos for which your contributions to these organizations may be used and expressly provide that no part of it shall be used to promote the passage of legislation or to carry on propaganda. for the social service labor program adopted by these organizations." This boycott follows similar action takes by the Better America Federation in California in 1920, the Pittsburgh Employers' Association in 1921, and other similar employers' organizations against the Young Women's Christian Association following its adoption two years ago in Cleveland of the social and industrial program known sa the Sicial Ideals of the Churches. Boycotts Fall Short of Mark All of these boycotts have, according to Mrs. Albert E. Speer, president of the national body, dropped short of the mark. "Contrary to a widespread impression," said Mrs. Speer at the biennial convention of the association last month, "a careful study shows that the stand taken on the social ideals of the churches did not bring financial losses." Many manufacturers rebelled at the calloused materialism of their organizations, and many people of modest means were awakened by the effort to destroy the organizations because they sought to improve somewhat the condition of the less fortunate members of society; Mrs. Speer declared. In every section of the state of Wurtenberg, Germany, new buildings are under construction, giving an aspect of great prosperity. Poverty and unemployment have apparently disappeared from this district. Mr. C. C. Cannon, the grocery king, at 1949 North-Third street, is still spreading out in that part of the city. The late addition to his place of business is a fine overhead extension from his store to the curb over the sidewalk to his filling station lately installed, which adds much to the front, as well as to the convenience and protection from the weather in taking care of his automobile customers. It is a handsome piece of work, with sixteen electric light bulbs distributed in the ceiling, and when lighted, at night, can be seen for blocks away. Mr. Cannon has also just completed a fine garage on one of his lots close to his residence just around the corner, where he is getting ready to erect a fine residence. On this same street, Mr. Cannon owns five more residences of worth and beauty. Mr. Cannon keeps all of his property in good repair and is never without a renter. His grocery business has grown to the extent in the last few months that he has been compelled to add several more clerks and help about his building. This enterprising business genius has been a great asset to this part of the city among the race and is rapidly putting things on the map in this city, as a business man. His trade is not confined to that part of the city, or Kansas City, Kansas, alone, as many come from Missouri and the towns around the country in this county.

The stream at the county court house last week was almost as regular as the dirty water that flows down the Missouri river. Some of the complainants were trying to get their valuation decreased when they knew that they had not been assessed more than two-thirds of what their property is worth. Only occasionally was an assessment above the actual value. The law says property shall be assessed at its full value. Really the thing that people should get thoroughly into their minds is the county board's action in cutting almost 4 million dollars of the assessment that, William G. Bird assessed one of the mill companies at. For it has been proven that the assessment Mr. Bird made was a proper assessment. The county board's cut only made about $175,000 more taxes that the other property owners of the county will have to make up. Maybe the reason your wife has gotten next to some of your crookedness was by the assistance of the man who just spent three weeks in Kansas City and knows all about you. Alexander is his name. Mistaken Identity As a steamer was leaving the harbor of Athens a well dressed man approached the captain and pointing to the distant hills inquired: "What is that white stuff on the hills captain?" "That is snow, madam," replied the captain. "Well," remraked the lady, "I thought so myself, but a gentleman has just told me it was Greece." The request of the Chirese Carpenters' Guild; that the miuumnm daily wage of carpenters be increased from 50 cents to $1.00, and the employers' offer of an advance of 15 cents, have been submitted to arbitration. Pending the decision of the arbitrators the carpenters have been given a temporary increase of 25%. This is in a country where a few years ago there were no labor unions and carpenters got 10 cents a day. The major portion of the iron mining companies at Bilboa, Spain, are said to have offered to resume operations on a full time basis, but on the 1919 wage scale, which would mean a considerable reduction in the average daily wages of the miners. Sea Air vs Mountain Dew Mother—"I wish that the papers would quit writing about these mountain moorshiners." Daughter—"Why, mother?" Mother—"Because I want father to take us to the seashore this summer." The reason why some people don't talk more is that they can't think of anything further to say about themselves. A cut in the wages of stevedores and porters in Georgetown, British Guiana, and the steadily increasing rentals were the subjects of discussion at a large meeting of laborers, recently held. A vigorous demonstration was made and although it was decided to continue work, several thousand laborers proceeded to the government buildings and petitioned the Combined Court, which was then in session, for legislative relief.

Canadian Justice An Ontario farmer caught a young woman doing a "September Morn" on his property and had her hailed before the county magistrate. "What's the charge?" asked His Honor. "Takin' a hath in the spring, your worship," said the constable. 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." WHY`NOT JOIN THE MOSIAC? The best paying lodge in America. We pay $300 at death, and a burial. Also a $50 monument.
