GREEN the honored guest of Sunflower Grand Lodge next week at Junction City. PROMINENT OHIOAN SPENDS SUNDAY HERE Mr. Fred Patterson, president of the Greenfield Bus Body company of Greenfield, Ohio, dropped in on his sister and family Sunday morning, Prof. and Mrs. G. B. Buster, 1934 North Sixth street. Mr. Patterson is of one of the best known and prominent families in the Buckeye state and now he has the distinction of being at the head of a business, only of different character, that was established by his grandfather. The Pattersons in the early days established a buggy and coach factory and in their day of service turned out the best vehicles on the market. When the automobile came into use they took up the business they are now in and employ a large working force of both races. While the grandfather and father have passed away and the son and grandson is successfully continuing the business. Mr. Patterson is a college man and has a brilliant and fertile brain and has that business acumen of modern times. Mr. and Mrs. Buster entertained for their brother Sunday evening with a group of Greater Kansas City's professional and business men, who were highly entertained by the honored guest, in a reminiscence of the business in which he is now engaged. Mr. Patterson's trip in the west, at this time, was in the interest of his company, calling upon jobbers- who handle his goods. He left Sunday night for St. Louis. It is hoped that Mr. Patterson may soon honor our city again when he can stay with us a longer time and give us and the west a greater knowledge of the Negro in the commercial world.

The committee of the Children's Orphan Home pulled off one of the most successful contests Monday night at Sumner High school that has been put on for the financing of the new home. A fine cedar chest was the banner prize, which was given away that night to the one reporting the most money.

C.—It is a great thing to live in the hearts of the people while you are living, and then it is a greater thing to so live and serve while you are living that you will ever live on and on in the hearts cf many who have never seen you, but by what you have done you will take up and keep you living. Such a life is that of General G. R. Hutto, of Bainbridge, whose summon came to him while on duty at the Grand Lodge of Knights cf Pythias, July 14, and while his body was consigned to mother earth last Tuesday, his soul returned to the God who gave it, there is a something which will cause him to live right on, and his influence will be felt. As I take my pen in hand to write to you this week, I pause to remind you dear readers that another one of our great men has left us, but we must continue to work, for the world is going right on and we must keep up with it. I was in his room a little before the end came. I was there often during his last day on earth. I heard him as he said, "Father I am your son, have mercy." There is always something about a Christian life, when it is returning to God, that is beautiful, and I am proud to say that Grand Chancellor G.R. Hutto, who was at the head of the Pythians of Georgia, and had just been elected to succeed himself for another year, passed out with a smile on his face indicating that "It Was Well With His Soul." When the end came his wife and his son were by his side, and when I saw Mrs. Hutto shortly after his death, she said: "My Pl—— has gone. He will not be with me any longer. Soon I am to see him no more." These words brought tears to my eyes, for I knew of the greatness of the man, I knew how loving he was to his family, and how he and his wife lived together truly as friends, as companions, as lovers. They worked together in the school room, in the home, in everything that was for the betterment of our people and it was fitting that she should be by his side when he took his flight to Heaven. The Grand Lodge had its opening exercises. Monday night July 10. in Shiloh, Baptist church. He was there, and presided at the opening, but could not remain through on account of his physical condition and the gavel was turned over to Mrs. Mary Nelson Jones, the Grand Worthy Counsellor of the Court of Calanthe. He retired before the exercises were over. He was present, took part in the opening of the Grand Lodge Tuesday morning, and appoint (Concluded on Fourth Page) ADVOCATE Edwards, $10.60, who received beautiful flowers donated by the Moseley Floral company.

Join now. REV. J. H. LEE. President. I am pleased to learn that our fellow citizen, Thomas Kennedy, editor of The Kansa's City Advocate, is a candidate for County Commissioner for the Second District of Wyandotte County. Since all citizens of this great county are interested in the duties of the commissioners, it is fortunate that a man like Mr. Kennedy is willing to render service subject to the will of the people. Mr. Kennedy is a straightforward looking, upstanding citizen. He has shown every quality of trustworthiness. He has kept his own business going through the trying war period and the more testing reconstruction crisis while thousands of newspapers were compelled to suspend. This alone is a worthy recommendation for him. A man who can conduct his own business and keep it going in times like these has one of the best qualifications for supervising and directing a business which concerns every tax paying citizen. As a tax payer of Wyandotte county, I give my qualified endorsement of Mr. Kennedy and feel assured that the voters of the county will do credit to their best interest by electing Mr. Thomas Kennedy to the position of County Commissioner.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. BONNER SPRINGS, KAN. Services at First Baptist church began with devotional services and was followed with an excellent sermon by Rev. A. C. Kyles, the pastor, from Pss. 139-6, using for a subject "The Greatness of God." As usual Rev. Kyles put his very soul into the sermon and it was distinctively noticeable that he was filled with the Spirit, for as Nicodemus said to Christ, "No man can do these things except God is with him." B. Y. P. U. was good and very well attended, showing a real spirit of work and devotion among those present. At evening the pastor preached a baptismal sermon from Matt. 3-15, after which he baptized the candidate, Brother John Bryant, who came to us from the A. M. E. church. Club No. 1 gave a short program and served refreshments Monday night, July 17, which was quite a success, although not so great numerically. Rev. Steward is tired of certain ones, or in other words, one special person, trying to make good with him by intending to gorge him on one green apple pie, because he was among old associates of the church of which once he was a member, on last Sunday. That person lives in Bonner and has a little girl that relishes bread and butter.

He invokes God's blessing on His word before preaching and after preaching. This is what makes him one of the best preachers we have ever heard. He spoke very correctly and caused many to witness with the Holy Spirit. The choir sang very appropriate songs and were highly praised by the great Dr. Clark, Deacons Taylor, S. L. Johnson, J. Ford, McCombs, Oliver, Hulsey and Thomas seemed greatly pleased with the sermon and also many members and friends. At night Dr. Clark preached another great sermon which also pleased the large congregation. Some united with the church. The collection was nearly $200. Last Wednesday night Mr. Calhoun preached a trial sermon and a large number were out to hear him. Every Wednesday night some minister will preach after prayer-meeting. Come Wednesday nights. This Sunday, July 23, another great preacher will preach. Come out or you will miss hearing the Gospel preached in its purity. Come to Metropolitan Sunday, July 23, and help swell the big crowd.

With the above increased valuations the Tax Rate should have been Steadily Decreased since 1918, instead of being increased. What is the trouble? Ask your Levy Boards.

Bird's administration has placed hundreds of houses and hundreds of acres of land on the Tax Roll which have been carelessly omitted by his predecessors, thus relieving the tax burden of the conscientious taxpayers who have listed all their property at a fair value. The Valuation placed upon your property has nothing to do with the amount of money actually paid for taxes, provided all property is assessed Equally. The amount of your taxes is determined by the various Levying Boards such as the State, City, County, School Board, Drainage District, School District and Township Officials, when they compile the budgets of the amounts to be expended by their respective departments. The efforts of this department, during Wm. G. Bird's administration have always been directed toward the assessment of all Property equally and fairly, as provided by law at his post, opened the Grand Lodge, and after the preliminary exercises, it was announced that the Grand Chancellor's annual address was the order of the day. He arose and made some remarks, stating that it perhaps would be his last address, and he being unable to read, Bishop William Decker Johnson, of the A. M.

Wear your approval, I will appreciate your vote. Respectfully submitted, Wm. G. BIRD REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY ASSESSOR KANSAS INDU ng men and women to enter wh Dr. Edwin J. Turner, presided. It was a great document, and contained valuable information to the order. He had taken time to give information concerning every department of the order, its financial condition, and made an appeal for the women. It made such an impression, that he was unanimously elected for another term, which he will not be able to serve. There was a lively time in the meeting. When recess was had, he was carried home, escorted by Dr. G. N. Stoney, Dr. H. R. Butler, and Dr. E. J. Turner, and he never returned. All day Thursday he lingered between life and death, and at 6 o'clock Friday morning, the death angel came down and conveyed G. R. Hutto to his eternal rest. He has left a record behind him that means that he will live on and on. It is a-great thing to live for others. This is what has been the life of Grand Chancellor Hutto, and he is now at rest. I commend the widow and the son to the God who gave him and who hath taken him away, and ask them to live so when their time come they may join him around the throne of God. I have been moving just a little bit, for during the month of June I covered 15,992 miles, and that is going some, and I have started out for this month, but will not go so many. I opened the month in Chicago, having reached there July 1, from Los Angeles, California, where the Baptists are going to put the big pot in the little one commencing September 6, and I expect to be there to help them. It is going to be a great session of the National Baptist convention, and if you have money and influence enough I would suggest that you be there and help to put it ever for the Christ and the church. I want you to know what big and great things Dr. A. M. Townsend has been doing and is still doing. He is furnishing the Sunday schoos with some real literature, and he is going to put up a building. It will be the finest and largest of its kind in the world owned and operated by the Negro Baptists. While in Chicago I had the pleasure of mingling with Dr. L. K. Williams, pastor of the Olivet Baptist church, and his assistant pastor, Dr. J. H. Branham, and they said many good things to help me over the road. Dr. J. H. Branham is one more loyal man to his chieftain and he is a busy man all the time, yet he always finds time to talk to me. I was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stewart, and Charles Junior. They made me enjoy myself. I got around some little bit in Chicago, and found that the preachers were active getting ready for the National Baptist convention and there were some laymen also as busy as busy could be. They are going to California in large numbers and I am sure that they are going to make a great impression. I talked with that great preacher, Dr. L. K. Williams, pastor of Oivet Baptist church, and found that he is not going to make the race for President of the convention, but will throw all his strength to Dr. E. C. Morris. He believes that Dr. Morris should remain in the harness as long as he is able and should have the support of the denomination. He has almost broken down in health fighting the case of the denomination and Dr. Williams believes that this is the time the Baptist should show their love and appreciation for a leader. I am ready to second the motion. Simmons and Vann died in the harness.

Branham, the first assistant pastor. He is the detail man and a great preacher. He is in full charge when Dr. Williams is out of the city, and it is almost true when he is at home. It was a great thing to see the church and its various activities. I am now getting together money for two things, to go to California, and to go to the National Negro Business League. The League will be in Norfolk, Va., August 16, and the other meeting in Los Angeles, September 6. Dr. Moton is busy getting ready for the Norfolk meeting, which is going to be FRIDAY; JULY 21, 1922 one of the greatest in the history of the organization. The old friends of Dr. Booker T. Washington, are going to be there, and they are going to put new-life in the organization brought into life by the wizard and which has done so much to inspire the race into business activities.
