KANSAS Midnight and Companions Find Traveling Through the South is Fraught With Certain Difficulties. On Pullman Compartment Car El Paso, Compartment A. & B., Sumewhere in Texas. It would be worth a dollar if you could guess where I am when I take my pen in hand to write to you this week, but believe me, honey, I am doing some riding and through the State of Texas right in a Pullman car, and on that train which nothing but Pullman passengers ride. As we prepare for it, you will find that we are getting more and more accommodation, and it is not granted through abuse, not with hat under arm, looking down at the ground with your mouth open to men of the other race, but through common sense, polite courteous business methods. There is no law, nor combination of laws that can make the white man do what he does not want to do when it comes to me and mine, hence t is up to me and mine to get on the good side and win concessions, and this has been demonstrated this trip. They have told me time and time again that it is impossible to get sleeping car accommodation into Texas, and I have thought cuss words and almost said them. The National Bactist convention, the largest Negro religious organization in the world, is going to meet next September in Los Angeles, and you may put it down that I told you they are going to be out in large numbers. Dr. E. C. Morris, the sage and wizard of the race appointed a commission of three, Secretary H. W. Holloway, of the National Baptist Benefit Board; Rev. R. M. Caver, B.D., A.B., of Little Rock, pastor of Mt. Zion church, and manager of a large ice plant in Little Rock, and Charles Stewart. A.M., general missionary of the National Baptist convention, to visit the place where the convention is to meet and to see how they are getting along. They were to see if the people are prepared to care for the large delegation, and these three men got together and invited me to go with them at their expense, and going is a middle part of my name, and I was Johnnie on the spot. I was told to meet them at the Southern Pacific station 10 o'clock Sunday, June 18, and I was there on time. I saw them march to the gate, and one fellow showed tickets for us all. That was Stewart, and then I saw him stop where the white people were stopping to have something done to his tickets, and we went from there to the bed car, where they have sleeping beds. We were given a whole room just for us. Think they called it drawing room, and I looked to see it draw pictures or something else. But it did not draw anything, but that was just a name. It was not long before a fellow came in, I think they called him the reporter. He proceeded to make up beds, and I never dreamed that there were so many beds in a little room like that. But at, any rate we all got in, and when we went to sleep you may just bet your last cent that there was some music in that room. It was just a little music house. I want to stop right here and pay my respects to the officials of the Southern Pacific in New Orleans. They are indeed a fine set of men. They did not hesitate in letting the representatives of the Negro National Baptist Convention have beds, and any other courtesy they desired. Everything went well until we reached Houston, Texas, although the reporter told us that there was some trouble ahead caused by water, and we realized it when we got to Houston, for we had to get out of that bed room, we had, and wait over in Houston, for another one to come at night. They gave us what was called a transfer. We went to the ticket office in the depot stable, but there was nothing doing there, and we were told to come back a little later. It was then that Stewart told us to follow him, and we obeyed. As that fellow walked five or six blocks he was sweating black ink, and I wish I had a bucket to catch it and sell it to the merchants and business offices. We followed him to a great big high building, and we went in and took a thing that lifted us up to the eighth floor. He called it an elevator, but what I called it I am not going to tell you for if I don't you will know how green I am, and I will want to class me with the damphules of America, and the country is full of them. But we got there, and he went to an office, and said: "We want to see Mr. Hellen, the general passenger agent." That clerk did not ask what we wanted to see him about, but told us to walk into his private office and Mr. Hellen would soon be there. It was only a few minutes before a, fine looking man walked in and he was Mr. Joseph Hellen, the general passenger agent. He shook my lily black hands and then shook hands, with each of the others, told us to be at ease, he was glad to see us. He received us like he would receive a convoy of railroad men. I tell you there was no put on about him, it was all real. He is a man who will recognize a man according to his ability. We explained to him what had happened, and he assured us that he would get us out on train No. 101, which was a solid Pullman, but he would have to telegraph for reservation. The train had left New Orleans, but he told us to come back about 4 o'clock, and when I reported there he told me he was unable to get a drawing room, but Mr. John F. Sullivan, the assistant general passenger agent, would fix us up. To his private office I went. He wrote on one of his cards a few words and told me that he would be there to see that we were all right, and believe me, honey, that official was there. We got in our compartments, which were two' little bed rooms, and this man told the conductors, the Pullman man, the eating car man and all the others about us, and now we were soon off. As I write to you at this time I am on that car and in one of the rooms writing and the train is moving, at the rate of fifty miles to each hour. We are getting our eatings in the eating car, our sleeping in the sleeping car, and this compartment business is a CITY ADVOCATE JULY 7,1933 Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, July 7. Impressive Services by Masons-Over $600 Raised to Apply on Building of the New Structure. The cornerstone of the First Christian church, corner of Everett avenue and Eighth street, took place last Sunday. The ceremonies were performed by the A. F. & A. M. of the State Rite Masons, which was nicely performed by the State Grand Master, H. I. Monroe, of Topeka. The Widow's Son lodge of the city had the honor of laying the stone in this coming beautiful structure. A fine representation of citizens, lodges and churches were present, with each contributing in a liberal way financially. The amount raised for the church netted something over $600, which the pastor, Rev. A. W. Davis, and his congregation showed their appreciation in words of praise. Many compliments were extended to the pastor and his splendid members in their ability to erect such a magnificent house of worship on this beautiful corner. The workmen are going right along with its completion and in a few weeks it will be ready for the roof. The basement will soon be put in order for worship and the old church on the rear of the lot will be remodeled for a parsonage. On Tuesday evening, June 26th there was a grand surprise party given by the ladies of the Courts of H. of J. of F. & A. A. Y. Masons and the university drill team at the residence of the G. M. A. M., Mrs. D. F. Cummings, 2922 North Seventh street, in honor of her fifty-second birthday. The members of Excelsior Court, Naomi, S. C. Bowers, Honor Bright and Lily of the Valley presented a very expensive Boston hand bag and the members of the drill team gave many useful and beautiful presents and Mrs. McRay presented a beautiful birthday cake, which she had baked decorated in the colors of the order. A very pleasant evening was spent and every one enjoyed themselves, after which the drill team gave an exhibition drill in front of this house and I, through this paper wish to thank every one that contributed. May they live long to be useful that when they shall be called hence they will not be forgotten. Mrs. Lulu Ellison, 932 Nebraska avenue, who has been confined to her home with illness for some weeks, is improving, of which her many friends will be pleased to learn. smoker, five bed rooms, a parlor and a porch where you sit and observe. I a going to tell you all about the trip in my letter from California. Look out for it. Of course you are going to the National Baptist Convention. We will have many people there. Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Tennessee are going with the Southern Pacific. There will be a first class train from New Orleans, and these will be joined by Louisiana, and I think that Kentucky will be on hand also. I recommend to you the Southern Pacific. It is just the road. I will tell you about the other plans later. Get ready for the trip. I'm riding now and must mail you this letter from El Paso, so it will be there on time. God bless you. J-O. MIDNIGHT. Mrs. Norene Davis Was Guest of Honor at the Desert Fort While Organizing Court of Calanthe. (Special to The Advocate) Fort Hauchuca, Arizona, one of the border posts, nestles among the mountains from whence it takes its name, and over a province of sage-brush, cactus and mesquite, which speckle mountain and mesa, within a limited circle rules, and, by its ever present threat, dominates for unknown miles around, both "Gringo" and "Mexicano." The headquarters detachment of the Tenth Cavalry ("Buffaoes") calls this place home for the present, as a not unwelcome change from the Philippines. Here they are with (in many cases) wives and children, isolated by burning miles of sun-scorched desert from their fellows, with the dull monotony of military routine reaching from "reveille" to "taps" and back again. In the ordinary course of events, it's the same old thing day after day, unless, as frequently happens, on returning to your house you find a rattlesnake has called to demonstrate the latest thing in door bells or burglar alarms. A stranger of any sort or condition is a rarity, and a visitor of recognized standing and importance becomes a real personage of sufficient importance to set the entire garrison on its mettle to demonstrate that though only an outpost of civilization, they are in nowise deficient in hospitality and courtesy. Clubs, art, literary and social, flourish and thrive, and secret societies find a fertile soil upon which to sow their seed. The memory of General Love is here a thing reverent and adoring in Military Lodge of Masons, and the names of Nelson C. Crews, Joe Sherwood and Ed Baker care of magic significance. Staff Sergeant Edward Gordon recently organized Mountain View Lodge Knights of Pythias No. 50, of 82 members and followed with a company of the Uniform Rank of 42 members. He completed the trinity by organizing a club for the Court of Calanthe and sent for the Grand Worthy Counsellor of the Kansas Jurisdiction, Mrs. Norene Davis, to come out and organize and constitute them as a duly registered Court, with Mrs. Fannie Smith as Worthy Counsellor. Now this is how the Tenth Cavalry does things: The honored guest was met by Staff-Sergeant Gordon and her hostess, Mrs. Lynn, in the seven-passenger car of Sergeant George Smith, at Douglass, 80 miles away. Stopping first at Agua Prieta, Mexico, for a late supper and then onward beneath the starry skies and over the mountain roads until the engine was throttled down at Fort Huachuca. It being then midnight, she retired and 'on awakening at dawn,' gazed in wide-eyed amazement at the rugged scenery which constituted the earth, and towered to the skies. On Tuesday night following came a public reception with an opening prayer, also a short address of welcome on behalf of Post and Christian Circle, by Rev. Snowden, then Sir Knight George Smith, on behalf of Uniform Rank and Knights of Pythias Lodge; Mrs. Alberta Rowlette, on behalf of Calanthean Club; Sir Knight Andrew Lewis, on behalf of the Masonic fraternities of the Post; Mrs. Mawine Clark, on behalf of O. E. S. of Missouri Jurisdiction; Sir Knight Walter Barfield, on behalf of O. E. S. of Texas Jurisdiction; Sergeant Milford V. Bell, on behalf of VOTE FOR THOMAS KENNEDY FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER SECOND DISTRICT PRIMARY AUGUST 1, 1922 EDITOR AND OWNER OF THE ADVOCATE PHONE. FAIRFAX 2663 The Royal Circle; Mrs. Mae Reese Johnson, on behalf of the Sunday school, and last, but not least, by Sister Thompson, who, while belonging to the Calanthe Court, E. & W., joined in extending to their honored trust a hearty welcome. Sir Edward Gordon was a bright, particular star in his capacity as master of ceremonies. During her stay here she was banquetted, in turn, by every organization represented at the reception and showered with courtesies by her admirable hostess, Mrs. Lynn. The following program speaks for itself: 1866 1922 Band of The Tenth Regiment of Cavalry U. S. Army Wade H. Hammond, Conductor Tuesday Morning June 29th Compliantary to Mrs. Norene Davis Program: Spanish March, "A Bunch of Roses" ..... Chapi Overture ."Tancredi".. Rossini Selection fro the Ballet "Capelia" ..... Delibes Cornet Solo,"Neptune's Court" ..... Herbert Clarke (By Musician Fred D. Grifin) Intermezzo, "The Wedding of the Rose" ..... Jessel Air Varie, for Miramba, "Long for Home".Hartmann (By Musician Wm. E. Moore) Waltz aprice, "Flirtation"..... Steck The Wabash Blues. Now, it might be added that this band stands in the front rank among all the Army bands; that Warrant Officer Wade H. Hammond, at one time of Western University, and director of Hammond's Big Band of Kansas City, has achieved high rank as a band conductor; that Musician Wm. E. Moon, an expert on the "Marimba," is a nephew of A. T. and H. B. Moore, of Kansas City, Mo., and that Musician Fred D. Griffin is a cornetist of distinguished ability. Warrant Officer D. F. Taylor and Dispensary Clerk, Sergt. I. H. Johnson, contributed greatly to the pleasure of the visitor, and in Dr. Robt. J. G. McClurkin, she finds a medical officer of the highest standing yet reached by any race surgeon. Mrs. Davis was called away to constitute a Court of Calanthe at Columbus, New Mexico, on her way home, and left behind many at Fort Huachoca, who will bear her in grateful remembrance for her timely remarks, contrasting the economic advantages which her auditors enjoyed over those of the race in civilian life.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. The editor took a trip to Junction City last Saturday, where he mustered in a company of the Uniform Rank of Knights. This being the seat of Fort Riley, the most of the company was made up from the Fort, which gives the company an advantage as far as understanding the drill manual. This Jurisdiction now has three companies made up of soldiers. Fort Leavenworth, Fort Huachuaca, Arizona, and the one at Fort Riley, the three having about 130 men. While in Junction City the commanding officer was royally entertained at the fort by Sergeant Hurd the captain of the company and Sergeant Wilson, first lieutenant. He was also entertained in fine style at the lovable home of Captain Hurd and his excellent wife, who have a lovable family of three children. Every courtesy was extended to the Brigadier General by all the Sir Knights while there, with a fine reception with eats after the company was mustered in that evening. The captain and his company are making great preparations for the entertainment of the State Encampment of this Jurisdiction the last of this month, when the Grand Lodge meets there. Everything will be ready for the boys on their arrival to go into their quarters. Mess quarters, cooks and equipment will be ready on their arrival. The people of Junction City are anxiously awaiting the coming of the Sir Knights and its citizens are preparing to receive the boys with open arms. HAVE YOU REGISTERED? IF NOT, DO IT AT ONCE.

The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, filled his pulpit at the evening service to a good audience. He preached a strong sermon on "Religion in the Home." Sucn a sermon should help any home and bring about a greater union, peace, harmony and happiness therein. The Sabbath school had its usual large attendance and that same interest was manifested in the lesson as has been each Sunday. The young people of this school are showing much love for the church and its principles.

He said in part that "Metropolitan and Second Baptist were the only churches heard of all over the United States and he gave advice to us as to how we should select a pastor. Mr. Calhoun came up as the door of the church was opened for joiners, and stated that he is called to preach and has tried to resist the "call." Our assistant pastor gave him good advice. Our church has had pastors who stayed with us 17 years. God is helping us, and He will send us a shepherd. Next Sunday, July 9, a fine preacher from some other city will preach for us.

Durign the war, when food was hard to obtain in, Budapest many a family tabby made the supreme sacrifice and ended its career in a stew. After the armistice cat fur became popular as a substitute for more expensive furs and most of the surviving cats lost all of their nine lives. Now that cats are scarce and cats too plentiful Budapest shopkeepers are willing to pay three or four thousand krone for a mere, inexperienced kitten. According to recent press reports, the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture has received a request from the Protective Emigration office of Berlin for the transportation by the Brazilian government of 10,000 German families, comprising about 50,000 agricultural laborers who are reported to be refugees from Poland in Germany. Although the general lockout in Denmark has been settled and the men in the different industrial lines are gradually going back to work, there are still 74,000 laborers out of work, which is 5,000 in excess of unemployed at the same period in 1921. Pullmans for women are being run on the Chicago & Alton and the Wabash railroads, out of Chicago and on the main brannhes. This is an innovation and is meeting with the approval of many. Norway is making Cheddar cheese for England, Edam for Holland, Gorgonzola for Italy and Roquefort for France. Of the 2,000,000,000 pounds of milk produced each year, one half goes into the chees industry and between thirty and forty million pounds of cheese are exported each year. The Bolshevist, George Critcherin, was 'photographed at the economic conference in the act of shaking hands with Louis Barthou, head of the French delegation. When M. Barthou discovered that photographs had been taken of the exchange of greetings he demanded that the film be destroyed. The movie men ignored his request and prepared to show the film in the motion picture houses along the Champs Elysees. Elderly peop'e often say that the old district school turned out better spellers than do present-day educational institutions Mrs. E. B. Finley, of Bucyrus, Ohio, held that opinion, and recently, at the age of 87, she proved her point by defeating twenty-five high school and college graduates in a spe'ling bee. The field was reduced to twenty by "reraissance" Seven more joined the also rans at "virtiginous." Ten others came croppers at "rendez-vous" The three survivors battled desperately for almost an hour, and then "fortissimo" left Mrs. Finley an undisputed winner. Last year more than a million people visited the parks and monuments under the supervision of our national park service. In 1916 only 256,000 visitors went to the playgrounds provided by Uncle Sam for his big family. VOTE for Thos. Kennedy for County Commissioner, Second District. Election Aug. 1. That 1922 may see the worst European crop failure since the terrible dearth of 1315 is the warning of Sir William Henry Beveridge, a distinguished British scientist Sir William has made a study of wheat prices from 1500 to 1869, from data collected at fifty places in Great Britain and on the Continent and bsaes h's opinion on the fact that peak prices have prevailed on an average of once every 153 years for the last 350 years. The worst crop failure have occurred 123 years apart, and as 1800 was a year of extremely small harvests indications seem to point toward a small wheat crop in 1923 and high prices in 1924. Rats in the Montreal court house showed their contempt for the judge by eating his gown and silk hat when they were placed in the judge's chambers at night. Court stenographers had their notes eaten by rats during the right and civil suits involving valuable property were delayed through the disappearance of records. When "Exhibit A" in a murder trial was eaten, and the prisoner liberated from lack of evidence, the authorities appointed an official rat catcher. A bill to substitute an "arsitocracy of trains for an aristocracy of birth," has been presented to the British House of Commons in an effort to reconstruct the House of Lords. The measure provides for a reduction in members of the upper house from 740 to 300, apart from princes of the blood. The measure also provides for the creation of peers for life with uninheritable title and privileges.

"You have had some trouble with angina pectoris, haven't you?" "You're right in a way, doctor," said the young man, sheepishly, "only that isn't her name." "If a job isn't worth praying for, it isn't worth having," si the slogan of the Drexel Biddle Bible class in Philadelphia, which conducts an employment bureau for its members, and reports had the highly creditable record of having found jobs for 271 of 299 applicants. Anglican (Episcopalian) churches in Canada are using a new prayer book which takes the place of the one compiled during the reign of James I. The new volume is free of obsolete and archaic words and references. The world's largest paper machine makes a stub of paper, 12 feet 2 inches wide, 327 miles king every 24 hours, using 110 cords of wood. Three thousand five hundred acres of pulpwood are required to furnish the paper for one day's issue of the newspapers published in the United States. A separate library has been provided for boys and girls of Pasadena, California. The library is situated in one of the city's parks, close to the downtown district. Save for the attendants, there are no adults. Mystic symbols and signs were discovered recently, chiseled on volcanic rock in a remote section of Owyhee County, Southwestern Idaho. Certain of the inscriptions resemble Chinese alphabet characters and this resemblance was taken by some to substantiate the theory that the North American natives descended from a race which came from Asia by way of Bering Strait. An exchange says the housing problem started when Adam and Eve left the garden of Eden; also the report that the fruit crop was a failure. A doctor returned from a hunting trip and announced to his wife: "Well, my dear, I didn't kill anything." Her instantaneous reply was: "That's what you get for going off and neglecting your business!" Reports from Geneva state that 40 men and one woman were killed during the winter sports season. This does not include 25 persons, the members of a Hungarian wedding party, who were killed trying to cross the River Tisaa when the ice gave way, drowning all. "What would you do if I turned you down?" she asked shyly, as they sat on the parlor sofa. The young man looked straight ahead, but said nothing. After a few moments of silence she nudged him with her elbow and said, "Didn't you hear my question?" He looked around, apprehensively. "I beg your pardon," he replied.
