I will bet you my head to a ginger cake that I am at a place you have never been nor have you heard of it since you have been in the world. But I must not forget that I am a Baptist and it is against the rule of my church to be, but I will lay you or bound you, and that is as far as a Baptist can go. But this is a great community, and Bishop William Decker Johnson, who is termed the people's bishop, the common people's bishop. They put after his name C. P.

Wright of Philadelphia, president of the Citizens and Southern Bank, of Philadelphia, and you see we have money along with us, for when you get a banker with you then you have some pumpkins. He is president of the National Bankers' Association which met at Norfolk, last August, and will meet next year with the National Negro Business League. I am sure you are acquainted with Major Wright for he got his titleums during the Spanish-American war by Major William McKinley, president of the United States, who appointed him paymaster in the United States army with rank of major. He is here doing good business, representing his bank, and he has the confidence of the people in this country and that means much. He has been in the school room fifty years, and now he is in the business world, and he is making much progress, before the end comes. He is touring Texas with Bishop Johnson, and then he is going into many homes and cities and towns where Bishop Johnson don't have the time to go. This is the first time in the history of the church that they have held a conference way out in the country in Texas. Just five miles from anybody's railroad, yet I have never seen so many prosperous people since I have been in the world. I am proud that I'm out here. Now you want to know about it.

J. F. Griffin. The officers installed were: I. F. Bradley, Sr., president; Thomas Knapper, Vice-President; Booth Smith, Secretary; Wm. Towers. Assistant Secretary; J. H. Clayborne, Treasurer. The new President announced his committees for the year, which consisted of fifteen committees. The retiring president, Rev. Griffin, gave his farewell address as the League's head for the past year and thanked them for their hearty support in some effective work done by the organization in the past year. The League had as their honored guest Bishop W. T. Vernon, who has just returned from his field of labor in South Africa, who made an interesting address, complimenting the League in the work it was doing and the good it might accomplish in the future. He also gave a synopsis of his work and travels in South Africa. The address was a most helpful one to the League and a vote of thanks was tendered the speaker. Bishop Vernon was made an honorary member of the League. A fine banquet was served by Chef Woods during the evening program. A number of the members made short addresses. Dr. W. M. Blount, was master of ceremonies. The League adjourned to meet the second Tuesday evening in December. FIRST A. M. E.

M.-E. church at the corner of Eighth street and Nebraska avenue, now in his sixth year. Sunday, December 3rd will, without question, be the happiest day in all these years of his pastorate, at First Church. Dr. Griffin coming here in the middle of the year, found a program of remodeling had been started, but a congregation of low spirits, as to its completion, with an indebtedness on the church of more than $7,000. It was a discouraging sight to any minister, but with his wise brain and sane leadership, he soon had in operation a remodeling and building program, that soon led this congregation out of a wilderness to a house of magnitude and beauty, including a fine eight-room modern parsonage, with a cost of nearly $30,000. Sunday, Dr. Griffin, with his loyal congregation and its friends, will reloice in a dedicatory service, delivering the keys over to the presiding bishop, free from every incumbrance. DEDICATORY SERVICES SUNDAY AT THE FIRST A., M. E. CHURCH December 3rd, 1922, 11:00 a. m. Sunday, December 3rd will be a big day at First A. M. E. Church, when the church will be dedicated free from debt. This will mark a new epoch in the history of this house of worship and it is expected a great deal of heartfelt shouting will take place by this congregation of more than 1,400 members and its pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, who in his wonderful leadership and Christian character will have in a large measure one of his greatest days in his ministerial career. Bishop H. Blanton Parks, Presiding Bishop of this the Fifth Episcopal District, will deliver the Dedicatory Sermon. Bishop W. T. Vernon, who has just returned from his field of labor in South Africa will be present and have something to say. PROGRAM. 1—Processional. 2—Music—Choir. 3—Consecration Prayer—Bishop W.

PARENTS ENTERTAINED. The social entertainment given by the twenty-two Sunday school teachers to the parents of the children of First A. M. E. Sunday School last Thursday evening in the lecture room of the church, was largely attended by the parents. An interesting program was rendered, with music and helpful talks by teachers and parents. The superintendent, Dean Jones, made a fine talk to the parents, as to some of the needs and co-operation of the parents, in making the school of greater value to the boy and girl. Some splendid papers were read by others on child life and work in the Sunday school. There were about one hundred present. Ham sandwiches, on lettuce, hot tea, brick ice cream and cake in abundance, was served. Rev. Griffin, at the close made remarks and introduced the 19 teachers present. A standing vote of thanks was tendered the teachers by the parents for the evening's entertainment and the helpful information and interest take in their children.

I was shown every possible courtesy by all with whom I came in contact, Sergeant and Mrs. Thompson and Sergeant and Mrs. Edward Gordon, Sergeant and Mrs. S. B. Smith, and Mr. and Mrs. Lynn, entermtained me in their homes, while Sergeant S. B. Smith and wife, Sergeants Chester Lewis and Barfield, and Mrs. Alberta Rowlette afforded me numerous pleasant motor rides. The first named afforded me the rare treat of a trip to Garden Canyon, a fertile valley THE NEW YORK TIMES watered by many bubbling springs, from which Ft. Huachuca's water supply is pumped, and the natural scenic beauty of which, to my mind, was not surpassed by anything witnessed in California or elsewhere. Beth Esther Court No. 45 entertained in my honor at the Hostess House, with husbands and invited friends present, and the evening passed in games and social converse. By special invitation I met the juvenile department of the Royal Circle of Friends, Mrs. James Johnson, formerly of Kansas City, governess, with Sergeant I. H. Johnson, supervisor. Mrs. Gordon and I went over to Nogales, where we were house-guests of Sergeant and Mrs. Wm. H. Holden. Through the efforts of Mrs. Holden, a club had been formed, which I formerly inducted into the Order and is now Aster Court No. 47, with 41 charter members. It has the distinction of being the only woman fraternal organization there. Here I met Chaplain Carter, who, by simplicity, tact, and unassuming demeanor, has completely won the hearts of all who come under his ministrations. Mrs. Carter is an admirable example of what a chaplain's wife should be, and enjoys a popularity all her own. On Sunday I visited the Sunday School and noted the large attendance of men.

Goodlow of Parsons, Kansas, was in the city this week, making dates in the two Kansas Cities, for the appearance of Miss Bessie Leola Eads, who is now considered by critics to be one of the race's greatest artists, having a soprano voice of wonderful range and sweetness. Miss Eads will be in recital in and around here during December and the first part of January. Miss Eads finished from the Conservatory of Los Angeles, Calif., and expects to continue her studies in higher art, in the Conservatory of New York City, next year. This young woman deserves every encouragement by the race.

Griffin, the pastor, delivered the fourth and last sermon of the series for the month of November. These series of sermons on "Is Christ a Necessity?" brought more than three thousand hearers in the four sermons delivered. These series of sermons were so argumental, intelligent and scholarly in bringing out a substantial truth, "Is Christ a Necessity," no one with a rational mind could help to feel and realize the Necessity of Christ. A number of souls were brought into the fold through these sermons and Christians greatly strengthened. Dr. Griffin will start on his second series of sermons some time in this month. The Senior choir at the morning service and the Junior choir at the evening service, are rendering the finest music of their life. The Sabbath school is being largely attended each Sunday and many classes are reporting new members most every Sunday. The school has a fine orchestra under the supervision of Prof. Wise. The Senior Allen League is having splendid attendance every Sunday evening, with an interesting program; also the Junior Allen League is having their large and spicy meetings from 5:30 to 6:30 with orchestra. Everybody will be out Sunday and some more—its Dedicatory Sunday. Bishop Parks will preach at 11:00 o'clock a. m. At 3:00 p. m.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES A very large congregation attended Metropolitan Church Sunday, and it was hard to get seats in the main auditorium. Rev. Battles introduced our new pastor and he preached from Psalms 133 chapter, 1st stanza; "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." In part he said: "Get the fundamental principles of Christianity, form better homes, and get better boys and girls to get better men and women. No nation that forgets God, will make a strong race." Many acquiesced with "amen's," etc. At night he followed up the same subject. Said, "He came to Kansas to speak to the world." Urged Christians get themselves anointed, so men will believe we are Christians. Many, Joined the church and the collection was large. Rev. Davis, of Quindaro, Rev.

Cornell, a mother, Mrs. Lulu Dandridge, two brothers, Mr. James and Mr. Carl Dandridge, and many relatives and a host of friends, who regret her departure. Original Poem, Composed by Mrs. M. C. Matthews, and Dedicated to Mrs. Birdie Cornell's Relatives. I am here on this occasion Don't forget this dear young woman. She was happy as a bird. To all friends a ray of sunshine, And much happiness she'd bring; And at home she would be singing Like birds' carol in the spring. She at church, learned of Salvation, And to end all doubts and fears, She accepted Christ our Saviour, And served Him for sixteen years And you'd hear her sometimes singing Sweetest songs to her ear heard; "Couldn't hear nobody pray," and "Never said a murmuring word." "Told her husband and her mother That 'on earth she could not stay.' She was ready and was waiting. As she soon must pass away." That 'on earth she could not stay' And she told her oldest brother, "He must pray, or he'd be lost." As she soon would ford Death's river, When he came back, she had crossed. And she told her youngest brother, And all relatives galore, "To live right and follow Jesus And meet her upon God's shore." After suffering 6 months' illness, To her prayer God made reply; Called November twenty-second To all sinners on this sod; The best thing to do in this life Is "Prepare to meet your God." Weep not husband, mother, brothers, Aunts and cousins, she's at rest; She now lives in that bright city Where she'll be forever blest. Now dear Birdie, we must leave you For a little while alone; And we now say "Farewell to you," Till we all meet 'round God's throne. MRS. NORENE DAVIS (Continued from Page 1.) of Sunday School, invited me to accompany him on a visit to the guardhouse. Here I beheld quite a number of men, most of them youthful in appearance, behind the iron bars of the prison. The Chaplain made a brief address, well calculated to soothe, comfort and encourage, concluding by a few explanatory remarks of me and my presence there, then requested me to talk to them. But I was grief-stricken at the sight of so many intelligent looking, manly young fellows under confinement and holding exaggerated notion of the heinousness of their offenses, could only shake my head in the negative as the tears stole unbidden down my cheeks. On leaving, Chaplain Carter relieved the tension considerably by explaining that the most of them were confined for minor infractions of military discipline, and not for that degree of moral turpitude which would be necessary before a man in civilian life would be jailed. I was dinner-guest of Warrant Officer and Mrs. Gillum, who motored over into Sonora, Mexico, quite a distance for my pleasure. The Mexicans are very friendly toward our race and many beautiful senoritas have been induced by dusky suitors to soften their vigor of army life by their presence as wives and mothers. Nogales is a dual city, astride the border, and on the Mexican side the houses, with no attempt at regularity where none is possible, stand perched one above another, upon the mountainside. Of adobe-rooms tiny beyond belief, with heuks like shelves for sleeping purposes. The streets, where such are possible, narrow as our alleys, at every turn, roulette or other games of chance at one's elbow. Great chunks of fresh (at one time) meat exposed on tables, and seemingly the ranker it became, the greater the demand. Well, on Monday, we had the first meeting of our new Court and it certainly was pleasing in my sight the way they took to the work—just like old Court members in a very short time. As dinner-guest of Mrs. Hattie Barnes, whose husband, Sergeant Samuel Barnes is soon to retire, I had the pleasure of seeing a truly wonderful collection of needlework she had produced, many beautiful and rare curios from the Philippines and Japan, and a collection of the most beautiful dishes I ever beheld. I was informed the dishes were acquired in Japan. My palate was tickled with game of several varieties, cooked to perfection. While we arrived too late to hear the program rendered at the recreation hall. still Mrs. Holden, Mrs. Gordon, and I, accompanied by "Pap" Holden, were in ample time for the dance which followed. "Pap" Holden is famous throughout all the post and for miles around for his gallantry with the ladies, and they do say, the back-fence gossips, that he is one pig shy on account of it. Here I met Hubert Clark, post "movie" operator, and the son of "Jumbo," or "Rag" Clark. well known to Kansas City people a decade ago, as a ragman of an original genius, who secured rags as a gift, for which others less entertaining would have to haggle.

Dog Mothera Baby Chicks A Collie dog which of her own accord has adopted two, orphan chicks, is reported from British Columbia. One rainy day the wife went out to take the chicks in from the rain, and found them cuddled up in the fur of the dog. When they are kept in a tin in the house the dog rests her head on the tin, and when a cloth is put over the tin, she pushes it away and puts her nose in the tin. When they are in the yard she guards them constantly and when she leaves them they chirp quite pitifully. PLAYING TO A CROWD First Actor: Two is company, three is a crowd.

All Dressings to San-Y-Kit Co. 79 Beckingham St., New York ZINC IN PLACE OF STONE Invention of Recent Date Will Greatly Lessen the Cost of Producing Lithographic Prints. Because lithograph stone has risen in price, some 1,600 per cent, the lithographic industry of Prague, where lithography began, has been threatened with destruction. Two new inventions, by a citizen of Czechoslovakia, however, have now come to the aid of lithography. One of these covers a process which makes possible the use of a plate of zinc or aluminum as a substitute for the lithographic stone. The other invention is a combination of two processes which prolong the life of the stone and simplify the labor of printing. The method now followed requires a regrinding of the stone for each new operation, involving a loss of at least one-fourth of a millimeter (about .01 inch) in the thickness of the slab each time. By the new process the grinding is made unnecessary, and the stone is made ready in about, five minutes, whereas the regrinding usually lasts two to three hours. The complete preparation of the slab for printing requires only 15 minutes. A considerable saving is thus effected in material, time, and labor.

A New Zealand reader sends to a magazine the following story: A drove of sheep, attracted some attention in Eltham, N. Z., because a small pig was in their company. One of the ewes whilst on the run had lost her lamb. About the same time a little wild pig lost its mother. The ewe and the pig fraternized. The latter leaving the bush and accepting the ewe as its foster mother. After the sheep had been shorn the pig had no difficulty in recognizing its foster mother. Then the sheep were herded and driven into Eltham for sale. The pig remained close by its foster mother during the three days' journey to town. The gloomiest hearts on earth are those that have never earned any glow of gratitude. A well-known firm of London caterers has 225,000 pieces of crockery broken every week.

O: MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) just kept busy all the time and is accumulating a fortune, dressing hair and the like. She is at the head of her class in that kind of business and the wealth.of.Texarkana her to come to them. I also met Miss Virginia Adams, who is the housekeeper for Duckie. They were happy. I left home Tuesday, or Monday morning, as I had promised to meet Bishop William Decker Johnson, in Hubbard. Well, that old inn house would not behave himself, hence instead of getting into Hubbard at 6 o'clock Monday evening, we got there 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, and remained in the stable. I had with me, a blind boy, who was headed for conference. Bishop Johnson spent the night in Corsicana, and came on to Hubbard the next morning. We were soon headed for the place, Pelham, for they had automobile carriages cars to tote us out a distance of 11 miles. It would do your soul good to come out here and see our prosperous farmers, and business people. It is a community of my people, and here and there you will soon see some of the others around, but we are the ITS in Pelham. Reaching the community, the pastor had gone to Irene to meet a train, and I just went right on to the school. They have a fine Rosenwald school here, and at the head of it is Prof. T. J. Douglass, who has been out here for 18 years at the head of the school, and he is a real good school man. Associated with him are Mrs. Allie Cook, Juanita Huckaby, Mrs. S. J. Frazier; and they are doing the work, training, the youth to think. It is indeed a fine country school. It was noon hour when I got there, and all were playing ball. I returned to the church, and found the pastor had returned and he told me that I was to stop with W. M. Porter, just about two miles away, but he was prepared to get me to and from his place, and soon his son came along in a Hudson or some other toting and toted me to his palatial residence. Now this fellow Porter, was born to do things. You will agree with me that he has been successful, for he is the father of 11 children, and is still with the same wife. She looks as young as a sixteener. W. M. Porter came to the world via, back in the country, and had the benefit of the common school traininf, but he had studied, muleology, horseology, cowology, farmology and businessology—in fact he was well versed in all of them ologies. Now he has in school two sons, and two daughters, and they have two married two sons, and three daughters, and there is one son in Samuel Houston college, Austin, Texas, and you see this accounts for his living family. Perhaps you would like to know what he has. Well, 461 acres of lands, 16 mules, 6 horses, two lions, and they are time keepers, for they roar every night or every hour during the day and night, and they just the father of more mules, the old lion is, for I am told that he is father of over 300 mules, and the other fellow is young yet, and then there they have a male cow, who wanted to fight with me. He threw dirt up, got down on the ground, and tried in every way to get to me, but believe me honey I was ready for. that old fellow, and I intended to knock the very devil out of him. Then there is a stallion, hogs until they are so busy you can't count them, cotton, corn, milk and children are all to his credit. His wife is just a woman full of smiles all the time. They have three churches out here, 1 Baptist, 1 Methodist Episcopal, and 1 African Methodist. These churches are doing good work, and they are pointing the people to heaven and at the same time to business. Then there are the Cooks. I would mention Thomas Cook, and he is some pumpkins, too. He owns 10 mules, horses, cows and something over 400 acres of land; plenty children, grand children, married and single, one daughter in school, a daughter-in-law teaching, and thousands of chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks and everything else. Then we find among the other prosperous men, George Carruthers, plenty property; W. Square Porter, who has reached nearly three hundred pounds, and if you look at him you will see in his face prosperity. He has plenty of children, plenty stock, and something in the neighborhood of three hundred acres. Adolph Martin, with his family is another man of good standing and worth in the neighborhood of five hundred acres of land. and it doth not yet appear all it will be. David Henry is another important factor, and he is some land and stock owner; Wilson Walker, is still another; James Sweeney is THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE another; Louis Porter is another; Talbert Thomas is in line; Mrs. Fannue Thomas, a widow, but she has to her credit something over 200 acres of land, and believe me some day another big farmer will come along and ask her to "Will you be me." W. C. Carruthers, L. A. Allen; B. H. Short, Johnnie Cook, J. E. Guest, Mrs. Amie Fields, another rich widow; Mrs. Calisey Stanford, another wealthy widow; B. H. Henderson, Boss Ross, Oscar Ross, U. S. Ross, Levi Richie; John Henry, Luther Henry, Kobert Henry and C. D. Porter and Austin Beecher, and many others. They have groceries, restaurants and other business places. I would suggest that you come out here. The people have turned out in great numbers, and there we find, the men who are looking for honors in the A. M. E. church. I must not forget to tell you that L. R. Richie, operates the telephone system and all these people have phones, and they have automobile cars and other things. Dr. C. W. Abington is a new man I have met, and he is now in line to succeed Dr. J. W. Rankin of the missionary department and he has many friends there. Dr. H. A. Carr, who is up for the episcopacy; Dr. G. B. Young, one of the best trained young men here who is booked for the bishopric, and S. J. Johnson is bound to be secretary of Church Extention. He is a great man. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop. Let me hear from you. J. O. MIDNIGHT. The Advocate's Big Xmas Issue, December 15.

Here is the drawing of a labyrinth. It is designed to test your power of memory. Beginning at the center, in the place called "start," trace out the one path of exit. Time yourself. See how rapidly you learn the correct route. A person with keen memory START should learn in a few minutes. A dull mind may require a much longer time. Mazes such as this, constructed in the form of passages, are used to test the powers of place memory in animals. A rat's place memory equals or exceeds that of man. Dogs are nearly his equal, but turtles, snakes, and birds are decidedly inferior.—Chicago Tribune. ```markdown ``` How would this beautiful, sweet face look, if it was surrounded with short, snarly and unruly hair?

Sarah answered pugnaciously. Miss Dean, who had just askeh, "How rich is old Captain Johnson?" hissed out a long "Ouch!" followed by a frosty smile and "Pardon, I didn't dream you were interested there." "I am not—the way you are," Sarah said, coloring hotly. "I do like the old gentleman; he is nice even when he's trosome. If he were not I should make him welcome for my mother's sake. He knew her as a girl, and tells me so much about her nobody else can tell." "I see; an hereditary romance." Miss Dean commented, smiling from the teeth out, only she was furious. Sarah, tall and twenty, vigorous, muscular, with clear, deep-seeing eyes and unafraid even of Mrs. Grundy, was likely to prove a lion in her path. Or, rather, the path of the beautiful scheme she had mapped out before coming to Windmuead. Its cornerstone was gossip vaguely heard of a man there, old, lone, fabulously rich and so accessible. All that saved him from coming to want was the fact that he could not spend aught but the income from his big estate. Further, he could not divert nor parcel out the income through settlements—gifts had to be made of cash after the money had accrued. Thus astute and faithful trustees had so far saved him the orgies of generosities he might have been seduced into, but he gave enough and so freely as to make him worth attention. Miss Dean was of those workers in the vineyard of progress who feel worthy the highest possible wages—"all the tradic will bear." A keen nose for opportunity had led her at the welfare convention held a fortnight back to cultivate unknown provincial delegates, especially those who appeared shy and lost. Thus she had won the heart of Mrs. Linton, Sarah's devout sister-in-law, and been asked M. L. TERES "I See; an Hereditary Romance." to visit Windmead for at least a month. Miss Dean had accepted for some indeterminate future time. When she learned next day that the Lintons were friendly neighbors of old Captain Johnson, she began making her plans for an easy and profitable summer. Sarah owned Windmead, but gave herself no alrs of proprietorship. Brother Jim was her pal and mentor because she loved him so dearly she tried to feel more than a tepid fondness for Molly, his wife. It was an effort, but she did not let the fact appear. It was only to the old captain she ever even spoke truth, saying: "If it weren't for her ballast of piety Molly is so light the first big wind would blow her clean away." Thereent the captain had chuckled, merely pretending to frown. But next day he had said irrelevant: "What a pty, Sarahkin, you can't divide brains with Mrs. Molly. If you could I should not have so much trouble in thinking up a match for you. The country boys are pretty much cloaked poles, the town fellows sissies. I've a great mind to advertise, 'Wanted—A real man.'" "Do, please!" Sarah had entreated. "Find him and I'll agree to take him sight unseen, provided he measures up to your pattern. Otherwise nothin' doin'." "What a shame I have no grandson, else I could cut out fifty years or so," the captain cut answered, sighing. "I'll never insult you by saying 'Will you be an old man's darling?' You are not for sale. Pity your mother couldn't overlook the thirty years' difference, you might be my daughter, but I didn't try to change her mind; she loved another man, and I knew it." "I'll adopt you illegally as my grandpop," Sarah, had answered, masking a sigh with a laugh. Memory of all this made her flush a lovely scarlet at the Dean insination. She hated herself for blushing until she caught an exultant gleam in the Dean'eyes. It roused her protective instinct. She said lightly: "Oh, no romance at all; Samuel Diggs Scrap Iron, Rags and Metal A PERSONAL SERVICE—HUMAN CONSIDERATION YOU GET MORE THAN YOU PAY FOR—ASK ANYBODY WEST SIDE.....First and Third Tuesday Nights WEST SIDE.....First and Third Thursday Nights WEST SIDE.....Second and Fourth Thursday Nights WEST SIDE.....First Tuesday Afternoon EAST SIDE.....First and Third Wednesday Afternoons THE BEST LAUNRY SERVICE POSSIBLE SOFT WATER USED EXCLUSIVELY BY US PHONE HARBISON 0592 KANSAS CITY, MO.
