SHOW THAT YOU CARE. Community Drive Starts Monday, Nov. 20th KANSAS WATCH YOUR STEP MR. HARDING IN 1924, SAYS J. O. MIDNIGHT Little Rock, Ark.—Did you hear that they had an election recently? I heard so, and that the Democrats got on top in New York, Ohio, New Jersey and some other places, and have served notice on President Warren G. Harding that they expect to step into the White House in 1924. It seems that there is nothing left for me and mine but hash all the time, and it matters not now which party is on top. I am still lying at the bottom of broken promises, and they are just crushing the life out of me and mine. It was at one time declared that the greatest man since the days of Abiraham Lincoln was the president of the United States, and he was going to be president of the people—all the people at that, and it was declared by him at one time that if he could not be president of all then he was unfit to be president. I don't give a heat of hen feather about office, yet we have been turn down on that, for we made sure that a man of my race would have been register, and then there comes this lynching business. During the campaign Mr. Harding spoke out against it, and when he was inaugurated he spoke right out in church, so to speak, and did not hesitate to say that lynching should be stopped. Now the Republican house of representatives passed the bill, but when it came to the senate, it was not passed, for the Democrats chased them into their holes, so to speak, and now it is about to be democratic the country, and I give it unto you that this Republican part of ours cannot win without us, I care not what others may say. But I am not here to talk to you about politics, for I have been doing too much riding since I wrote you the last time and I am riding some now. I have been hobnobbing with Bishop William Decker Johnson and others down in Texas. You see they are doing great things in Texas, but nothing to what is going to be done down there. The Ku Klux Klan won down there, but I am not losing any sleep over it. The devil must get at things at times in order to make the christian walk in the straight path. I don't know about this Ku Klux Klan business, and I am not saying about it much, but I am just watching. It is going to work for good or for evil, for zeal or for woe, and I am prepared for whatever may come, even unto death. It strikes me that I was in about ```markdown ``` [Image of a man in a dark robe with a white collar, holding a book and a small object.] BISHOP WM. T.

HARDING IN 1924, MIDNIGHT Galveston, when I took my pen in hand to write to you last week, or when I wrote that other letter, and from there, I went into Houston, and found that the people were doing things there. Prof. I. M. Terrell, was as busy as busy could be at Houston College, and he was pushing things for who should last the longest. I came in touch with Dr. T. V. Overton, had a long talk with him. He is a busy man, and the owner of some race horses. He is one of our leading physicians. While there I visited the home of Mrs. Milton H. Griffin, the widow. She is doing a good work in the school room. Then I met that scholarly young woman, Miss M. E. B. Isaacs, who is a member of the high school faculty. Have you ever known her? She is a great woman, and you will agree with me if you have the pleasure of meeting her. She is in for that which means the development of our people. I was so glad to have the pleasure of meeting and talking with her. She is just an embodiment of inspiration. Then, I had the pleasure of visiting Wesley Chapel A. M. E. Church, the pastor of which is the Rev. G. B. Young, whose name is before the church for the highest position in the gift of his church. Dr. Young is a graduate from Paul Quinn college, and a man of parts. He is making many friends, as he goes through this world, and is making his way to the bishopric. He has done some good work in the city. Off then to the next place, Chapel, Hill, Texas, and I could remain here, because I had a physical breakdown. It must be that I am getting ready to cash in, because I am having so much sickness. I have a letter from Mrs. Elvie L. Stewart, telling me to notify the readers that I am no longer homesick, and that I am going to remain down here a longer time. For some reason she has changed her mind, and have decided that I am to remain down here just a little longer. I will not stop to argue the case with her because she is a woman and thinks that man must not question what a woman says, right or wrong, she is a woman. God keep ner a long time. Olearning Chapel Hill, I had the measure of meeting Mrs. Mamie Carr, who is a devoted graduate of Paul Quinn college and the wife of Rev. H. A. Carr, bishop timber, and a leader in this part of the world. Mrs. Carr (Continued on Page 4.) 1930 November 14th, with his wife and boy signed to by the last General Confer- work in that far off field and comes ves at Quindaro, Western University, I deliver a number of lectures in the CITY Kansas City, Kansas, Friday.

CHURCH NEWS Although the day was very inclement, a large congregation was present Sunday morning to hear the second sermon of the series by the pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin. It was indeed a great inspiration to the minister to see such an assembly on a morning as this. The large attendance of the choir also rendering their angelic songs lifted up the pastor and the congregation. The second sermon of the series was equal and in many respects stronger than the previous Sunday, whose subject was "Is Christ a Necessity?" Subject Sunday was "If Christ is a necessity—Why?" The sermon was a most scholarly one, with an argument that was convincing to the uttermost, the necessity of Christ. Next Sunday Dr. Griffin will deliver his third sermon of the series. Dean Jones, assistant pastor, filled the pulpit Sunday evening with a fine sermon. Dean Jones' sermons are always enjoyed. The junior choir has added two cornets, which adds much to this splendid evening musical organization. The dedicatory services of the church will be held the first Sunday in December, Bishop H. B.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES A large concourse of people attended services at this church to hear Dr. L. K. Williams of Chicago, explain God's word. Some sat in the main auditorium, and some sat in the balcony. His subject at 11 a. m., was "The Highway to Heaven." He said in part, "If men go to heaven, they must go Jesus' way. You must keep in the straight path. You don't have to be a scholar, theologian or a philosopher to get on the highway. The way is so simple that a little child or a fool can understand the plan of salvation. But first be sure you are in Christ." He asked for those who have been redeemed by Christ and hundreds held their hands up. The spirit was manifested audibly by many. At the close, after prayer, the choir sang "Jesus Paid It All." It was a wonderful sermon. Dr. Williams always delivers great sermons. At 8 p. m., Dean Rogers of the Kansas City, Missouri, College, delivered a deep sermon from Col. 2:10. "And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power." Theme, "Complete in Christ." He portrayed three philosophies by three philosophers.

This year is the thirty-fourth anniversary of the introduction of the modern, street car trolley in this country, in Richmond, Va. Since the first Richmond trolley line, street car service has grown prodigiously in the United States. It is said that 15,000,000,000 persons a year ride on trolley cars. According to estimates, the total trackage is 47,555 miles, while there are more than 105,000 street cars operated by 838 companies. The capital invested totals $6,000,000,000, it is said. The Richmond line was completed May 4, 1888, by Frank J. Sprague, now of New York. Finally Coughed Up Nail. Nature has effected a remarkable last hour rescue in the case of an English schoolgirl, who, when at the point of death, coughed up a brass nail swallowed two and a half years ago. The nail, which had turned black and was so rotten that it broke into pieces, had penetrated her lung, and she became a patient at the Royal Gwent hospital, Newport. Monmouthshire, England, where several doctors treated her for tuberculosis. Her condition during that time was more than once regarded as hopeless. It is now expected that she will recover. Mere' Appendage. "I'm grieved to observe," said the veteran Thesplan. "that you are taking your wife's poodle out for an airing. It's beneath your dignity, sir." "I know it," said Rantington Roarer, the eminent tragedian. "In the old days when I toured the country with a 'Tom' show I was proud to lead a pair of fierce instiffs in the street parade, but the poodle, sir, as you are well aware, has never contributed anything of note to the American drama."—Birmingham Age-Herald Crow Takes Annual Vacation. Taking a crow from its nest, a boy in New Brunswick trained the bird so that it would light on his shoulders. The crow is now four years old and has gone south every winter, except its first winter, when the boy kept it in the hen house. The bird seems to be very glad to get back home every spring and only three weeks ago returned from its journey as tame as ever.

The Scrap Book Philosopher Had Before Him the Evidence of His Senses, but Still He Pondered. The proprietor of a tanyard was anxious to fix a suitable sign to his premises. Finally a happy thought struck him. He bored a hole through the door-post and stuck a calf's tail into it, with the tufted end outside. A man and a woman are standing in front of a building. After a while he saw a solemn-faced man standing near the door looking at the sign. The tanner stepped outside and addressed him. "Good morning, sir," he said. "Good morning," said the other, without taking his eyes off the sign. "Do you want to buy any leather?" asked the tanner. "No." "Perhaps you've got some hides to sell?" "No." "What are you, then?" "I am a philosopher. I've been standing here for an hour trying to find out how that calf got through that hole." NOTHING DOING FOR SWAIN Belgian Courts Afforded Little Satis faction to Suitor Whose Courtship Had Been Expensive. Matrimonial advertisements in Belgium have been putto a new use by a young woman in Brussels. She inserted the usual advertisement in the local press and shortly afterward received a reply from a wealthy sheep dealer. They met and the sheep dealer was somewhat impressed, but the lady proved unexpectedly coy. To impress her wandering fancy the more forcibly the eager swain bought her a snug little cafe at Saint Gilles, for which he paid 40,000 francs, and proudly presented the title deeds, we are told by the Montreal Family Herald. No sooner had she received them than she told her admirer that he did not take her fancy, after all. He brought an action against her, but the court has just nonnited him, declaring that as they were not engaged the cafe was a free gift from one friend to another and there was no legal reason against it. An Australian writes: "During the Gallipoll campaign, when a general appeal was made for sheepskin vests, my sister sent a postal note to pay for one and enclosed a letter to be placed in the pocket, asking the recipient, if he came across our only brother over there, to give him our love. The peninsula was evacuated before the shipment arrived, so it was sent on to France. In the winter of 1916-17, during a distribution of vests, one was passed to my brother. In a pocket of it he found his sister's note. We have it as a souvenir, though the grass now grows over our boy." Woman Wins Arnold Prize. This year's award of the Arnold essay prize is a notable incident in the history of the higher education of women, for it is the first instance of the winning of a university prize at Oxford by a woman candidate. The throwing open to women of the competition for such distinction has been one of the corollaries of their admission to degrees. The Arnold prize was founded in honor of Dr. Thomas Arnold of Rugby, and is awarded annually toJunior graduates for the best essay on some subject of ancient or modern history.—Manchester Guardian. T. W. CAUSE AND EFFECT. "Say Sis, do you sing to your baby when he cries?" "No, he cries when I sing to him." Here's Real White Crow. That there are exceptions to the saying, "black as a crow," was proved when one white crow and several black ones alighted on a fence near a Nova Scotia farmyard. The white crow, which was like the others in every respect except that its plumage was snow-white instead of black, was unfortunately shot by the farmer, and mounted by a taxidermist, who pronounced it a freak of nature.

TO THE POINT Soft water softens wash day. Even the bad dye young now. Overland route—the airship line. An early quitter is a foolish critter. In time of peace, prepare for more peace. People who admire us are pleasant company. The greener the pitcher, the greater the windup. Only a man of push can propel a wheelbarrow. Giving advice is all right. If we give it to ourselves. Know-it-all kind of people generally do know a lot. If you expect nothing all you get is so much velvet. Old families always engraft pride in their family tree. Aim at the top. It may help you to land in the middle. Luck is a good thing to trust to—if you aren't hungry. It is easier to stay out than to get out.—Mark Twain. Don't rob yourself by calling other people hard names. "This," we often hear people say, "is a very critical time." Clubs are the most valid excuse for not staying at home. Virtue is its own reward if it can corner some necessity. High salaries don't pay unless hitched to high ability. Don't have a head like a bell—nothing but a tongue in it. How easy to borrow money when you haven't any use for it! If you don't feel superior you will not offend by acting superior. Few men can resist the temptation to swallow undeserved praise.

In any business a bad rule comes to be ignored or it breaks the business. Most people are afraid to speak as correct English as they know how to. If a man has no trials and tribulations he is unable to appreciate happiness. Sometimes a man's back seems to be as self-conscious as his countenance. Some people are noted for their ability to recollect things that never happened. If the face of a small boy has a set look it's a sign that mischief is about to be hatched. Experts are as jealous of their authority as kings were of their royal prerogatives. Probably when we have established communication with Mars we shall wish we hadn't. What we can't understand is how a weak fire knows there isn't a shady spot within a mile. Our idea of a philosopher is one who has hay fever and thanks heaven he isn't an elephant. It isn't difficult to teach the children good manners. Much easier, in fact, than to show them. We have no Minute Men now. But the country is full of men any inspector would class as seconds. Folks over fifty haven't forgotten what a good time is, but they seldom have the chance for one. There are already thousands of people who don't understand why so many "go on so" about "home." A moratorium is just the high-brow way of admitting that there doesn't seem to be any blood in the turnip. HAD PROVED HIS ABILITIES Little Doubt That Applicant for Position Was "Strong and Pushing"—He Had Evidence. Chief Justice Taft, revisiting Cincinnati, his boyhood home, said at a dinner party: "It is strange, but the Cincinnati lads who have got on best were all pretty objectionable—too selfish and pushing, you know. "One of these boys—he's a railroad president today—applied for a job in a wholesale drygoods house. "We advertised,' said the boss, 'for a strong and pushing boy. Are you strong and pushing?" "Well," said the boy, 'the way I come to git in here first this mornin' was that I licked everyone of the twenty four other boys wot was ahead of me." Diplomatic Approach "May'I have a word with you, Mr. Greene?" began the young man. "Certainly, you may," said the Wall street father. "I want you to decide a bet." "Very good. Go on." "Very good. Go on." "I want to marry your daughter." "Tut, tut, sir." "But wait. Your daughter has bet me that you will give your consent to our marriage and I have bet her that you will not. Now, you certainly would not want to decide a bet so that she would lose, now would you?—Yonkers Statesman. Following Instructions. Gene, the three-year-old daughter of the teacher of the Bible class, was the proud owner of a much-berlibboned hat. Her daddy advised that she put the hat beside him on the front pew while she went to her class. When the little ones marched back, Gene noticed the pew occupied. She looked perplexed, then dashed from the ranks and cried: "Oh, heavens, daddy, my hat!" Who Knoweth the Lord's Mind. He that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him?—I Corinthians, 2:15, 16. Perseverance Is Necessary. Few things are impossible in themselves. It is not so much means, as perseverance, that is wanting to bring them to a successful issue.—Rochefoucald. Happy. "That old fellow says he is not lonely any more." "Got a wife?"

"What in thunder will they do with a mummy?" surprisedly asked an acquaintance. "He says they hadn't done nut'in with it when he came away, but some folks were advising 'em to go into the opry business and show it around the fairs in a tent, and others thought they ort to elect it to the legislature."—Kansas City Star. A Return Desired. "How was the political speaking last night, squire?" asked old Riley Rezzldew of Petunia. "My rheumatiz was hectoring me so that I didn't feel like attending." "The Hon. Thomas Rott pleaded with the voters for a return to the principles of the Glorious Old Party, and—" replied Squire Ramsbottom. "He did, hey? That reminds me: if he is in town yet I am going around and plead with him for the return of them ten dollars he borrowed from me six years ago, when he started for the convention."—Kansas City Star. Two Irishmen who were old friends met in the street one day. "Sure, I met a man last week, and, bedad, I'd have sworn it was yourself," said one. "And wasn't it?" replied the other. "Divil a bit," replied the first. "But he, was your very image, barrim' he was a trifle grey. I suppose, now, ye haven't a twin, brother a few years older than yourself?" To Preserve Welsh Language. In order to prevent the native language from falling into disuse several rural district councils in Wales have passed resolutions to the effect that all their minutes should be recorded in Welsh instead of in English, and that all communications with government departments be forwarded in Welsh.

"What he handed us made us too sick to worry over any kind of law," replied Cactus Joe. "All we could think about was medicine." Protecting Native Birds Grent efforts are being made in the United States to protect the native birds, mainly because of their usefulness as insect destroyers. One expert says that in the state of Massachusetts birds destroy 21,000 bushels of insects every day, and in Nebraska 170 carloads. Referred to the Anatomists.

The wife of a banker advertised last month in a Munich newspaper for a good educated woman secretary, able to speak three languages: wages $60 a week (Swiss money). She has already received more than 1,600 replies, 'the applicants including three princesses, nine baronesses, and thirty countesses. The Attraction. "The congregation seemed unusually attentive this morning," remarked the pastor. SENTIMENT IN "POESY RINGS" What Would Now Be Called Mushiness Was. Characteristic of Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries.' The age of sentimentality which cropped up during the Fifteenth and Sixteenth centuries resulted in "poesy rings." These were regulation wedding rings on which were inscribed eplgrams revealing the sentiments of the contracting parties. Frequently the rings were inscribed in a puzzling fashion by interlocking the names of the bride and groom. One bears the inscription, "AeIoHrPgOeS," which reads George to the left and Sophia to the right. Then again, stones were, used to spell out the name. "Sophia" would be represented by a sapphire, opal, peridot, hyalite, lolite and amethyst, the first letter of each stone spelling out the names. She was proud of her rings, this medieval woman—so proud that she could not bear to hide them with gloves. When she went out to functions that required the wearing of gloves she wore a variety that had the lower part of the fingers slit so that the gold and precious stones could peep through. HAD HIS NEPHEW SIZED UP Uncle Fogy Came Pretty Near Knowing Just What Was the Matter With Lucas Purt. "My nephew, Lucas Purt, is a handy man who can do a little of everything but make a good living," admitted old Uncle Fogy. "He can play most any sort of musical instrument well enough to be in active demand at home-talent entertainments, but not well enough to get paid for it. He can work various puzzles and drive children crazy with admiration, but he can't interest the bankers in any of his problems. He can fix a contrary clock with ease, but he can't concoct an excuse that will cause anybody to lend him money. He will do a thank-ye job cheerfully and well, but when there is cash to pay out it goes to a grouchy professional. "So he proceeds, making things easy for other people, but getting very little out of it for himself, b'cuz, while he is capable and accomplished, he hasn't learned to bunch his hits. Looking over him, I am inclined to believe that the matter with Lucas is that while he has the key to success, he can't find the keyhole."—Kansas City Star. Bobby's Wish. "O dear!" grumbled Bobby when ordered to get busy with the soap. "I just wish I was a clock." "Why do you wish that?" his mother asked. "Cause I wouldn't have to wash my face and hands then," explained the youngster.—Boston Evening Transcript. "Whatever became of that Prof. Richard Garner who went to Africa to study monkey language?" asked Bilinks. "He's probably camped down in New York among the cake eaters and flappers trying to decipher their talk," replied Jinks. First in the Field.

"Yes," repiled Farmer Corntossel; "but I dunno whether it'll make him happy.

NOTARY PUBLIC The Scrap Book Saddened by Long-Threatened Calamity, Edwin Still Had Regard for His Wife's Feelings. He looked weary and haggard, and when his wife met him in the hall her heart was full of fear. "Tell me the worst," she implored. "Oh, Edwin, I'm ready to bear anything! What has happened? Have you failed in business?" A "No, my dear— not that." He buried his head in his hands and looked the picture of despair. "Then you are ill! You have got another attack of that dreadful indigestion?" "I'm not ill," he answered, stonily. "No; it is not that." "This suspense is terrible," she said. "It is killing me, Edwin. Tell me all—everything! I am ready to know the worst! Has your mother died?" He looked at her sadly. "Oh, my darling," he cried, taking her hand, "that—that button I told you about has got tired of hanging on by one thread. Here it is!" Had Double Supply of Legs. The body of a perfectly formed chicken containing four legs, two necks and four wings was for some time on exhibition in Quinley, Mass. The chicken was an Anaconda breed, and was hatched in an incubator. It came out of the shell apparently strong and healthy, but its four legs got in the way of one another, causing the chicken to go in a circle and fall down every time it tried to walk. This resulted in its being trampled over and smothered to death by the stronger chickens. The chicken was such a perfect example of a double bird in every respect but the head, that the owner had it preserved. A. Good Reason. The Plute Indians of California are notoriously lacking in chivalry toward their women. Uncle Arch Farrington was driving down Westgard Pass road one hot summer afternoon and met Fatty Jack, a Plute, astride a small pony, which was visibly wabby under his burden. Uncle Arch was incensed to note Jack's wife about 50 feet behind the pony carrying a sack of flour and tolling along on foot.

MARION COTTEN DENTIST 514 MINNESOTA AVENUE KANSAS CITY, KANSAS PAGE FOUR (Continued from Page 1.) is working among the women and she is a fine scholar. I was so glad to have the pleasure of seeing her, of talking with her, and of hearing her talk. Believing that woman had something to do with the fall of man, she believes that she should have to restore him to the image of his maker. Man's ruin was so complete that nothing would fully restore him to his father's place, but a new creation, hence "He must be born again." She is working for his redemption. Man is daily becoming more and more like unto his God daily. He is doing wonderful things, but his wonderfulness tells more of the wonderfulness of God. The more God man gets into him, the greater he becomes. She is behind her husband, and she has decided to help to place him where God can use him to better advantage. I admire this in her. Then I met Mrs. L. M. Hughes, the legal wife of her husband, Rev. Hughes. Rev. Hughes is a man who raised all of his dollar money and is visiting all the conferences awaiting his turn. His concerence is the last one, and he has just been going from conference to conference looking wise. He wants to go to the next general conference, and is getting his ducks in line for the march. He is a good man, but he does not disturb any one. Mrs. Hughes holds an important position with the women of the A. M. E. Church. She is a national secretary, devoting her time to the religious work. She is right now making good. She is an old teacher, but has returned in order to be of more service to her church and race. It is wonderful how the people love Bishop William Decker Johnson. He was made to love—he was born to lead men, and he is just now doing things in Texas. They are going to give birth to a new conference. That will mean 8 conferences in Texas, and they are going to bring things to pass down here. Major R. R. Wright of Philadelphia, the banker and educator, is still down in Texas, and they are receiving him with open arms. He is doing a great big work down here in this part of the world. He is inspiring our people to business. I am sure that you remember him, for he is one of the great men of the race, and age and country. He is helping us to get more great men. I am going to have more to say to you in my next letter. I think I will bring this letter to a stop for this time. Let me hear from you. You may send me a letter to Pelham, Tex., care A. M. E.

LADDY We keep the laddy's playthings in a chest, His books and pencils, little chamois shoes, His top, his kite, the Barlow knife he had To whittle ships with when the days were sad With rushing rain and he could not go out Upon the hills of morning with his shout. And often when a great six-footer comes To maul us over with his hairy fists. We go and bring his trumpets and his drums— And, oh! how shamefully he turns and twists! All Laddies grow to hate them afterwhile, To spurn the trinkets of their childhood day, Because the pride of growth and power is theirs. And they put on such airs! But still we keep the trinkets put away, For with them safely kept in Memory's chest We can rebuild the happy hours again Before our children grew to strapping men. Great girls, with fellows asking them to dance. Our sons and daughters, not our little ones! But, ah, how of the trail of revery runs Back to the hidden trinkets, top and book, And when we lift the cedar lid to look, How like a vision from a magic box Leap phantom figures, airy, light and free, That Memory from her treasure-house unlocks With re-created glee! —"B. B." in Baltimore Sun. LADDY CANYONS GROOVED BY WATER By Strange Freak, in the Operations, the Rainbow Bridge Was Formed and Left. The land of southern Utah, where the great Rainbow natural bridge is found, consists of a flat tableland, deeply carved with canyons, remarks the Chicago Tribune. As the land rose here the streams all felt the urge to cut. The rubble on their bottoms was their tool. They ground and scoured grooves, and from grooves they cut canyons. At Rainbow bridge a brooklet found a crack down through a lower strata. With joy it gurgled in, carrying its tools. It splashed and swirled through the dark passages, and at every turn it hurled its cutters against the restraining walls. It ate itself a hole to flow in. No little cave sufficed. It cut a gallery. Then Rainbow Bridge Compared With Washington Monument. streams above sensed that the ground was hollowed out beneath them. Drops came seeping through the roof. They came singly, by trickles, and by torrents, dissolving and eroding as they ran. The surface water broke the cave roof in. The story is almost told. Rainbow bridge, 309 feet high and 279 feet in span, is a remnant of the roof. Some freak of chance left it standing all alone. Its magnitude denotes the gallery worn by the stream in the foreground of the picture. If you are ever in Gallup, N. M., or Flagstaff, Ariz., you must try to see this wonder.
