The conference was quickly organized and was soon in operation, the bishop calling for the roll of the conference and following committees were read and the second session of the Nebraska conference was off with a flying start. Reports of the charges of the Omaha district were read in order, showing a decided increase in this district over last year, in all departments of the church, Rev. Fred Divers, presiding elder. Kansas City district in their reports showed a remarkable gain over last year from nearly every charge. Rev. J. F. Griffin was the acting presiding elder of this district since the death of Presiding Elder A. C. Terrell, the ministers of this district co-operating with him in the work. Thursday evening at 8 o'clock the local pastor, Dr. Tucker, and his congregation zens welcomed members of the song by the choir; welcome on Nebraska conference and visitors to Atchison and their homes, including an excellent program by local talent.

Brown; vocal solo, Mrs. Oletha Kerford; welcome on behalf of the Mite Missionary society, Mrs. Ella Whiteside; welcome on behalf of the officers and members of Campbel Chapel, R. V.

C. Williams, who was on the program to respond to these welcome addresses, declined in favor of Rev. Mr. Harris, visiting from the Colorado conference. Bishop Parks closed the program with inspiring remarks. Rev. C. R. Tucker was master of ceremonies. The program was an excellent one and the vast audience graciously enjoyed it. At the close of the program education rally was entered in SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 to, the first speaker being Rev. Wayman Ward. Follownig came Dr. F. Jesse Peck, president of Western University, who told the great work this school was doing for Christian education. Several hundred dollars were placed on the table for this noted institution, some giving as much as $35 and many contributing $15, $20 and $25 for the cause of education. Friday morning session opened in due time with Bishop Parks in the chair and members of the conference, within the conference limit. Reports of the various committees were the principal work for the forenoon. Friday afternoon the Women's Mite Missionary Society held its session, with Mrs. A.C. Terrell, its president, presiding. They had a most excellent program, opening with song and prayer by Mrs. W. S. Metcalf, of Omaha; scripture by Mrs. Fred Divers of the same city. Then came the president's annual address by Mrs. A. C. Terrell, which was full of good thoughts and food for those present. 'A number of splendid papers were read by delegates and discussed by members and ministers. The report of the year's work of the society showed there had not been any idleness, as one of the best reports for missions was read ever coming from such a small group of wcmen. Bishop. Parks spoke in glowing terms of the fine work they had done for the cause. The Missionary sermon Friday night, was preached by Rev. Lovejoy Scott. Saturday brought the business part of the conference to a close, opening the morning session, in executive session. The afternoon session heard final reports and assignments to churches in the city Sunday, who had asked for ministers. Saturday evening, at 8 o'clock, Dr.·J. D. Barksdale, editor and manager of the Western Christian Recorder, delivered a lecture to a full house. His subject was "The History of the African Methodist Episcopal Church." For an hour and a half the speaker entertained his audience in his subject as few men of the church can. It was so interesting that not a single person left the room until he closed. Sunday a Big Day Sunday brought all Atchison out and many motored in from Omaha, Horton, Leavenworth and other towns in Kansas and Missouri, as it had been announced that the bishop, H. B. Parks, would preach at the morning service. Old Campbell Chapel was crowded from center to circumference and many had to be satisfied with standing room in the stairways. The bishop was at his best, with plenty of spiritual fire which soon got into the hearts of his audience. It was of power, logic and philosophy. The Campbell Chapel choir rendered their sweetest music Sunday morning, although they sang sweetly during the entire conference and never tired. A great choir. At 3 o'clock memorial services were held for the deceased members of the conference. Presiding Elder A. C. Terrell and Rev. H. H. Jones, who passed away, this year. Rev. Sandy Rhone, pastor of Trinity church, Kansas City, delivered the memorial sermon. Rev. W. A. McClendon, pastor at Lincoln, Nebraska, preached the closing sermon of (Continued on Page 3) Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, Sept. 22, 1922 Mr. A. J. Hill, after a long period of illness, died Sunday morning, at 6 o'clock at his late home, 1057 Freeman avenue. Mr. Hill was one of the city's old citizens and for a number of years conducted a successful grocery business at 1059-Freeman avenue. He was one of our substantial citizens and stood high among his fellow men. He was a high high churchman and was an active member of the C. M. E. church, corner of Oakland avenue and Eighth street. The deceased laves a devoted wife, two daughters and one son, all of the home, who have the deepest sympathy of their scores of friends. The feneral will be held Sunday at 2 p.m., from his church. The Advocate extends its sincere sympathy to the bereaved family. MID-WEST COMPANY PULLS DOWN PRIZE Mid-West Company No. 2 of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Knights of Pythias, Captain Harry Forte, commanding, took down the second prize in a drill contest last week at Electric Park, out of a field of five companies. It was a cash prize and a silk flag. This makes two-companies from the Kansas side that have gone into Missouri and brought back honors, Stringer No. 11 bringing back first money some weeks ago from St. Joseph.

Dr. Stewart is one of the best physicians and surgeons of his city and his practice reaches as far as Topeka and the two Kansas Citys, practicing in our best hospitals, in Kansas City, Topeka and Kansas City, Mo. He has two fine cars, which were in service to his guests day and night. Emancipation Day is being celebrated today at the City Park by the colored citizens.

ADVOCATE The free night schools will open Monday, October 9, with bigger, better and greater opportunities than ever before, so says the night school supervisor, Prcf. J. P. King. The program, as lined out this year, has added many more studies to its course, such as stone and brick masonry, carpentry, paper hanging and other trades of usefulnes. Sumner High, Stowe and Lincoln schools are to accommodate the large number of anxious-waiting men and women, who are clamoring for a place of better citizenship. This ought to be a great year for our night schools and a wonderful lot of good coming out of them. Mrs. H. Bigger, Mrs. Jenne Brown and Mrs. Ida Coffer attended the Nebraska annual conference at Atchison MOSIAC TEMPLARS CLOSE GRAND SESSION TUESDAY The Grand Lodge of the Mosaic Templars of this Jurisdiction, W. D. Bryson, Grand Master, closed Tuesday night at Metropolitan Baptist Temple a most successful two days meeting. While this Jurisdiction is not as large as some others, but that same spirit of business that is known to this order was exemplified here as in other jurisdictions with a larger membership. The financial standing of this Jurisdiction in proportion to its number stands at the head. A fine program was rendered Tuesday night, with music by the Juvenile band of Kansas' City, Mo. National Grand Master S. J Elliott of Little Rock, Ark., was present and gave some inspiring talks. Other noted visitors were D. McQueen, Grand Master of Nebraska; O. H.

Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Briggs, 612 T street, Atchison, entertained Rev. J. A. Broadnax, Editor Thos. Kennedy and wife at their lovely home Friday, to an elaborate six o'clock chicken dinner, during the annual conference at that city last week. Mr. and Mrs. Briggs are ideal entertainers and kept their Overland touring car in service night and day for their friends and visitors, Mrs. Briggs being at the wheel most of the time, as Mr. Briggs is in the mail service in the city. Mrs. M. L. Reed, of Monrovia, Liberia, South Africa, is visiting her grandmother, Mrs. Johnson, and her uncle and wife, Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Kimble, 413 Nebraska avenue. Mrs. Reed is the wife of Dr. Reed and has been with her husband, doing missionary work in Africa for seventeen years. They are representatives of the Metholist Episcopal church. Mrs. Reed will return to her husband late this fall. Most people believe that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, but Charles, John and Vivian Johnson, 1510 North Eighth street, believe that the sun rises and sets in grandmother, so they have brought their grandmother; Mrs. Sarah Butler, back with them from Texas, that they may have sunshine in Kansas for a while. Ex-Congressman Geo' Murry, of Chicago, was in the city a few days last week. There is Some Displeasure in Los Angeles Owing to the Postponement of the National Baptist Convention, But it is Being Ironed Out In the Midst of the Desert Midnight Finds a Sweet Singer With a National Reputation THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Bakersfield, California—Now you see where I am this week and if I were not here I would be in some other part of the world. I don't know as I told you I would be here, but you do know that the National Baptist convention was to meet in Los Angeles, but them striking fellows made the officials put it off, and now they have called a meeting for December 6, in St. Louis, Mo. I will have to be there. But you see some friends had voted me a vacation and I just made up my mind that I was going to take it, and I have taken it, believe me, honey, and I have been going some, and I feel much improved, although I am still having some head trouble. I would that you remember that I told you about the passing of President E. C. Morris, D. D., of the National Baptist convention and about his funeral, and now I am to tell you about my trip. I made it from Arkansas to Kansas City, and called up Rev. B. G. Dawson, of the A. M. E. church, who told me when I was ready to make the trip he was going to put the big pot in the basket for me, but will you believe me honey when I tell you that I was not able to get that good locking yaller gentleman, and when I did see him he toted me to a barber shop and said he would wait for me a few minutes, but when I came out he was going, and I never got to see him any more, but right across the street from where he left me, was Editor Franklin of the Kansas City Call, and he told me just wait and he would tote me over to the stable where I was to go to California. Believe-me it is only a question of a few days now when the Kansas City Call will be in the front rank. He is just there now, for workmanship and news, but the people are just learning about it. He has just purchased a new home for his paper, and other improvements are to be made, in keeping with the fine piece of property he has just purchased. It seems that some big doctor down there has stepped over line, turning his attention to the little frying size women, and the Call is just giving him a heliuva time, and I take off my hat to Mr. Franklin. I am proud to see an editor trying to protect our young. There are so many old sheep without destroying the lambs, and when a man is a damphule enough to get out of his age and class then give him what Patty gave the drum. Let 'er go, Franklin, and if you need any cussing done call on my friend and he will supply you with cussing enough to cuss the devil himself. The Santa Fe stable was reached, and in a few minutes I saw Tilford Davis, the poet and mail carrier, standing with his hand up. His wife was going west, for the Grand Court of Calanthe, recognizing her worth and service, voted her a western trip and she was going to start, and was booked for the same carriage I was. Soon she came along with an army to tell her good bye. Mrs. Mabel Sinclair had prepared an angel-food for me, and a woman brought one along for Mrs. Davis and she had a chicken-friend and chicken to eat and agreed that I could eat with her. Soon we were off, and soon I was in the land of Nod, and I don't know what happened to her, but the next day I ate chicken with her and other. N. O. MIDNIGHT PEOPLE WHO HAVE BUSINESS AND ART ure in Los Angeles Ow- ent of the National Bap- t is Being Ironed Out— Desert Midnight Finds a National Reputation good things, and she even had a big bottle filled with lemonade juice, and just poured in a glass some of it and added water and I had lemonade to drink. It was all fine. I got off at Colorado Springs, and she continued to Denver, but I went to Denver with Rev. W. H. Thomas, who used to be pastor of Allen Chapel, Kansas City, Mo. I am sure you remember him, for he is one of the finest men in this country, and I am told that they are thinking of making him a bishop. This would be a fine thing for his church to do. If I were in that church I would vote for him myself. I spoke (Concluded on Fourth Page) KERFORD BROTHERS The George W. Kerford Stone Quarry company of Atchison, Kansas, is one of the largest and greatest money making enterprises of its kind operated by colored men. This plant was founded some years ago by George W. Kerford, Sr., now deceased, having three sons, George, Jr., Lloyd and Clarence, the business was handed down to them, who through the training and business acumen of their father, have built up a business of great magnitude, with the business increasing every year. The editor had the pleasure to be taken out to the plant last week by the senior partner of the firm, Mr. George Kerford, Jr., and found there a stone crusher in operation, whose capacity is seven 50-ton cars per day, and one can imagine the large force of workmen it takes to do this work, the company employing some 30 men and often using two shifts, as they have to put on night shifts to fill their orders, having the entire quarry wired with electricity. A steam shovel is used for all the stripping. The drilling is all done by compressed air, drilling a foot in hard limestone per minute, then the stone is transferred to the crusher in steel cars drawn by horses, over a network of tracks. The crushers' power is given by a hundred horse power electric dynamo. After the stone passes through the crusher it is carried down in a large elevator and dumped into the car, which is billed to its destination. We were shown into their office, where a complete set of books are kept, orders to one party alone running nearly $50,000 and others way up in the thousands. They ship daily to many cities and railroads in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, and during the summer season are kept busy nearly night and day to fill their orders. All three of the brothers are married and have fine families, with splendid wives, each having beautiful homes. One other thing can be said about these three young men, that is, out of the ordinary for busy men and that is, they are exceedingly active in church work, being substantial members of Campbell Chapel A. M. E. church. They were busy last week during the annual conference, taking visitors and members of the conference to their plant in their autos, as all of them have their cars. As, citizens no set of men stand higher than the Kerford brothers and they are considered among the city's best assets.

Although the pastor was away Sunday a fine service was held, Rev. Wm. Mitchell filling the pulpit, delivering a splendid sermon, which was enjoyed. The pulpit was filled at the Sunday evening service by Rev. Wayman Ward, presiding elder of the Rocky Mountain district of the Colorado conference, who delivered a scholarly sermon to a nice audience. Rev. Ward's father was pastor of First church, when he was a small boy, and the older members of the church especially rejoiced to hear this intellectual young man. The new pastor will fill the pulpit Sunday and he would be delighted to see the house filled with worshippers and through the church bulletin asks you to come praying, that we may have a great outpouring of the holy spirit. Come out to class meeting tonight and start the new year with greater love for the classroom on Friday night. First church always has a warm place in its heart for visitors and strangers.

Prayer and praise service, Wednesday, 8 p. m. The pleasant weather drew a large attendance to all services. The Sabbath school was nicely attended. Next Sunday is promotion day. The pastor gave an inspiring talk to the Sunday school about many things seen on his recent trip saying the funeral of Rev. E. C. Morris was very sad and very impressive. Dr. Bowren one of the honorary pallbearer. Mr. Mosely, the florist, gave a beautiful chair on behalf of our church, for which the church is grateful and highly appreciative. At 11 a.m. the pastor preached a very logical and practical sermon from the subject Walking With Jesus. Text, Colosians 2-6. Paul here admonishes the church at Collossa to walk in Christ as they found Him in faith. To walk in Christ you must have His word abide in us. To walk in Christ we cannot walk in crooked paths. We must crucify the lusts of the flesh to walk with Christ. Rom. 8-1. Hear the voice calling you to duty. There is no time for pretension now. We must be honest and earnest. I wonder if Jesus was in Kansas City today, would He keep the Sabbath as some of us keep it, attending races, Sunday baseball, shows and other worldly amusements. No. Jesus set us a perfect example. We set up standards of our own. I believe in wholesome amusements, but we should always ask this question: What would Jesus do? and act as He would. We must walk humbly for after all we are of the earth to be exalted and honored of God. You must walk humbly for God resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble. Christ was humble events the death of the cross, because he humbled himself. He is now at the right hand of God and angels delight to adore him. If we walk with Christ here we shall walk with Him in white. Rev. 3-4. Walk worthily, walk as Jesus walked. The B.Y.P.U. had a splendid session. Sister Ada Messley, instructor of Group 3, gave a comprehensive outline of the lesson and all entered heartily in the discussion. Group 4, the junior group, will lead Sundya, 6:30, Mrs. Smith, leader. Come hear the juniors; it will be worth your while. At 8 p. m. the pastor preached from subject, A Good Soldier. 2 Tim. 2-3. A good soldier must first enlist, then measurements and examination are gone through. Some time you may get by Uncle Sam with a bad heart or other physical defects, but to pass muster in God's army as a good soldier a heart full of love for God is a searcher and a reintrying God. A good soldier will be disciplined. A good soldier must be armed. Put on the whole armor. Eph. 6-11. Many Christians like to parade in uniform and don't have or use the weapons of warfare, but the fight is on against the world, the flesh and the devil. We must be aggressive and fight, and not fraternize with the world. Then when we must pass, we can say we have fought a good fight, finished our course. Many visitors were present. A cordial welcome awaits all who attend our services. Although the practiability of beaver farming has not been full demonstrated, the United States department of Agriculture believes that the business of raising beavers for their fur may develop, under proper control measures, into a profitable branch of fur farming. With a small beginning the enterprise seems to promise an advance to the good returns and even great possibilities. A fertile field for beaver culture may be found in connection with projects for the reforestation with conifers of burned or cut-over timberlands. Many of these areas, cleared by ax or fire and later covered with a second growth of timber, are considered almost worthless. But it would supply food for beavers, and if stocked with them could be made to yield an income-while the process of reforestation is going on. FARMERS GET NEW DEAL ON WHEAT-PRICES The farmer is the only business man in the world who sells his product regardless of the cost of production and who lets the other fellow set the price for it. That is why the farmers of the Northwest were amazed to receive a telegram from the British Co-operative Wholesale Society asking them to name their price on large quantities of hard and northern spring wheat for export purposes. Although the great British Co-operative Wholesale society owns 10,000 acres of wheat land in Canada, as well as its own trans-Atlantic vessels and flour mills in England, the growth of its business has compelled it to arrange for the purchase of wheat from other American sources. Unlike private wheat exporters, instead of dealing with the big millers and speculative grain buyers, the British Co-operative organization came directly to the farmers, told them what it wanted, and asked them to name a fair price. The western farmers are learning that co-operative business is different; it means an honest product and a square deal for all.

That is the sum reported by the Co-operatiev District Association of Glasgow, Scotland, the details of which have just reached this country through the All-American Co-operative Commission. The 20 retail societies in the city own several hundred branch stores, supported by a total membership of 158,000 heads of families. The retail sales of these societies in 1921 reached a total of $10,142,494 ($53,641,223). In addition the sales of the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society advanced to $21,834,059 ($108,283,265), nearly $10,000,000 worth of which were consumed by the Glasgow societies alone.

Parks, the bishop's estimabie wife, always brings sunshine into the con- ference and to those about her. She is loved dearly by every one. There is but few men on the bench of ibshops that under- stands and can handle men so well, as Bishop Parks and with little friction. He is a great leader and his district stands at_the head. Mrs. C. R. Tucker enter- tained Bishop Parks and Mrs, Parks at the parsonage de- lightfully, during the confer- ence. ‘The many beautiful homes whose doors were thrown open wide for their guests will ever be remembered for their kind hospitaility and comforts. A great people. Mrs, Handy entertained the Women’s Mite Missionary so- eiety Saturday afternoon to an @aborate affair, at her lovely home, About fifty were pres- ent.

MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1) in one of the churches there, the Methodist Episcopal church in the morning, talked to men in the afternoon in the church of which the Rev. E. M. Colron of St. Joseph is pastor, and then I beat it to Grand Canyon, and I will not tell you about this wonderful thing this week. It would take two or three letters to tell you about it, but I must say you must not come this way without dropping in to see the place. You must not ask about my people, for they are not there, but they have two hotels in the place and I stopped at one of them. No question was asked about my race, and they could see my color, for I am of a fast color that will neither run nor rub. I put my name on the hotel book, and they threw me out a key, and I was soon in my room. I stopped at the Bright Angel hotel, and Mrs. Davis stopped at the same hotel. They fed us with all the others—no distinction made, and I just acted like I was used to this all my life. It minded me of the time when I was over yonder in Ey off to Los Angeles, Ca in. I got to town, and mi with many friends th Much of my time was sp with the editor and his wi of the Eagle. Mrs. Bass ha been in the newspaper ga a long time and she has it down fine, and her husband is an expert in it. They are doing well and they are giving us a good paper. They are born good writers. Now then, I talked with the preachers and learned that there had been some changes made in the National Baptist convention and they were some as some as wet hens, and they said some things about the officers of the National Baptist convention that would not do to, print in a religious paper, and the hoodlums would not want it in their paper if they had one, but I think everything will work out, for I believe that the 1923 meeting will go to Angeles. That is ust should be, and I be. If the build- --- CIVIC LEAGUE INCIPITATE CELEBRATE PARK CITY, KAN, Sep STREET-PARK AT 10:30 A. M.

Y. P. U. Congress, and do our duty there and then. This is the body that should go there. I will tell you about Los Angeles another time, for I want to tell you about Bakersfield, for here is where I am this week, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Winters, and they are both interesting and are doing things worthy of note. He is one of the financial men of this part of the world, and he has just made his way up from nowhere to somewhere. It strikes me that he came into the world via North Carolina Rcute, and there got an inspiration to be something and to do something, and he made his way at it. It was in his boyhood days that he found his way way to California, and started to make his way up. He got his education in Michigan and California, and then into the business world. He tried Fresno for a while, and from there about 22 years or more ago, he came to this city, and here is where he has made it. He is a dealer in furniture, and honey that is not all; he owns a half block right in the heart of the business part of Bakersfield, and if called upon to sell it would easily bring a half million or more, and then his home, a fine two-story building, occupying an acre and a half, and his handsome residence in the middle. He is just living like folks, and in this mansion is the song queen of California, Mrs. Pearl Lowrey Winters. Now I am here to tell you that Mrs. Winters is one of the finest in this country, and she not only sings, but she writes music as well. She has made her mark as a singer and song writer. She has just reutrned from a tour in the East. She was born in Kansas City, Kansas, and many of the citizens will remember Pearl Lowrey, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Lowrey. Well, she got her foundation in Missouri and finished her education in Los Angeles, California, graduating with honors from the Art School in Music right in Los Angles, and about eight years ago, she accepted the hand in matrimony of this business --- THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE man. She has studied music under F. Constantino, the world's greatest tenor. In speaking of her he said: "Mis. Winters possesses one of the most beautiful contralto voices I have ever heard and is an artist of rare ability." She sang before the General Conference in Convention Hall, 1912, where there were fully 25,000 people, I am told, present. While she is not devoting all of her time to singing, she is active in pleading the cause of her people. She is active in work in the state, and has appeared before many of the leading conventions in California of the other race and presented our cause. She is a fine speaker, and there is music in her voice to the extent that she can always get a hearing. People like to hear her talk as well as sing. She attracted the attention of the world, last March, when she appeared before the Federated Women's Clubs in Santa Monica, and made a speech that the Associated Press sent all over the world. It was the first time that a woman of our race had spoken before this crowd of wealth and culture, but she was right in the crowd, and believe me, honey, she was one of them, although she belongs to us. She has both culture and the thing that goes with it, and if she has not got it her husband has it for her, for he has a rating in Dunn's and Broadstreets. Put it down that I told you. I have had the pleasure of meeting Rev. D. J. Crawford, D.D., pastor of the Baptist church here who used to live in Arkansas. He is doing fine out here. Look out for my next letter. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Dr. R. C. Hayden and wife have moved into their flat, corner Sixteenth street and Garfield avenue, Kansas City, Mo., purchased from W. R. Johnson Real Estate Co. At Mukden the Chinese police have registered the Russian unemployed, and the total reaches 14,000. The Chinese authorities propose to open a number of factories to engage these aliens. Miss Daisy. McMillan, of St. Paul, Minn., is visiting her sister, Mrs. A. S. Dow, at 927a Nebraska avenue. Miss Gertrude Lankford left last week to take charge of her classes in the college at Langston, Okla. Mrs. Jackson, sister of Mr. Pickens, is teaching at Stowe schocl. Mrs. Richardson, on Nebraska avenue, entertained Miss Daisy McMullin of St. Paul, and her sister. Mrs. Noble Fine, on Nebraska avenue, took sick Monday, but is some better as we go to press. Mail Carrier Frye is building a comfortable modern house in the block between Ninth and Tenth streets, on Washington boulevard. Mrs. A. S. Dow had our society editor at luncheon Tuesday. Mrs. Virginia Elliott who now teaches at Dunbar school, is stopping again at Mrs. McMillan's. Mrs. M. C. Matthews received an ovation on her original poem to the A. M. E. conference and Bishop Parks, at Atchison. A great musician in Omaha, has asked her to send many poems to them to set to music. She also read an installation poem at Zion Baptist church while in Atchison. The First Baptists have postponed going in their church until they get their new pews. Rev. Moses Williams delivered the installation address and sermon at Zion Baptist church in Atchiscn for Dr. Dr. Phelps pastor-elect. Napolitans complained that the exportation of fruits had such a serious effect upon the local food supply that an ordinance was passed by the Bureau of Provisions prohibiting the shipment of fruits from Naples. As a result the middlemen and shippers have struck and refuse to buy at any price. ```markdown ``` THE POPULAR RECENT SANTAL MIDY BEFORE ALL SUBSTITUTE CATARRH of BLADDER Guard Your Health Be Sure To Use SANYKIT The Hands Propylactic Kit for Men PREVENTIVE Affords Uitment Protection Tubo Sic.
