KANSAS MIDNIGHT IN NATIONAL METROPOLIS. FINDS MAN'S HAND IN POCKET SEES FRIENDS OFF FOR SWEDEN K. P's. to Meet Next Month in Big City Vol. IX New York City, July 4.—I told you so, and I do not want you to think that I have been using any of them flying machines in order to get to this big city, but I am right here and I have a few things to say to you. Have you ever seen one of them big cities start from one country going to another? It is indeed a wonderful sight, and I shall never forget the one I saw here last Saturday, June 30, when Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, Revs. C. H. Parrish, G. W. Bailey, J. H. Mays, and many other Baptists left this country to go to Sweden to represent the National Baptist convention at Stockholm, Sweden, and they are either riding on that big ship or they are over there, when you read this letter, but I rather think that they are still riding on that little city on the Atlantic beating the waves. But they will not have much longer to ride. When I took my pen in hand to write you a few lines last week to inform you of my health, it strikes me I was in Hot Springs, attending the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, and it was a national meeting. When it got quit, I then got me a bed car and made my way to St. Louis, where I got in Monday morning, and soon there was that Hupmobile car carriage there waiting to tote me to Poro college, where Prof. Aaron E. Malone, A. M., and his wife, Mrs. Annie M. Malone, received me just like I was a member of the family and made a fuss over me. Soon we were having breakfast together and then down town for a few minutes, and made it out for Chicago. Speaking of Malones, believe me they are just keeping up. The building is just as neat and clean as the day it opened, and then they are constantly decorating and cleaning. They are to put in baths for me, both tub and shower, and they are issuing toilet articles as never before, and their powders and other things are so superior that there is much demand for them. Chicago was reached, and I made it to Mrs. Elvie L. Stewart's where I met another great reception awaiting me. She was as happy as a June bug, and I was treated with the greatest consideration. I came in touch with Dr. S. E. J. Watson, Dr. L. K. Williams, Dr. J. H. Branham and other great lights who were busy getting ready for the National Baptist convention. They are going to Los Angeles in large numbers and you may tell them that I told you so. It will be almost like Chicago in September in Los Angeles. People are getting their moneys together. I think the trip will be made over the Rock Island and some other reads, but I am not to discuss that now. Now about leaving Chicago, I got me a bed car out of the town headed for another part of the world. This bed car only toted me to Muncie, Indiana, and then I had to get up, dress up, and go in another carriage, which was not a sleeper, so I just had to be my own sleeper, and put it down that I lived up to the reputation. Cincinnati was reached the next morning, about 11:40, and before I could say scat, that wagon was ready to pull off another stunt. I went in to the stable, asked for a bed care preserved for Col. J. O. Midnight, and the man behind the bars told me that the diagram had gone out, and I though he meant that the bed car had gone, and I tried to run my fool brains out getting to the place. I saw a little white man, known as the conductor, and he told me to take a seat and he would fix me up for Washington. This was on the Chesapeake and Ohio. He kept his words, giving me bed lower 1. Later a man of the other race came in with his whole family, and said that he had whole section 1. But saw me sitting in there. I told him I just had one bed in it. He said that he would take a seat with his family elsewhere and leave it to -SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS. $1.50 this same corndoctor to adjust. Now there was just one big empty-headed white man, who's brains had become located in the wrong region, and he wanted me put out right now. "That's a nigger," he said, "and he has no business in here." I did not reply to this miscarriage in humanity, but just remained, and the man insisted that the whole matter would be adjusted by the corndoctor, and this was done when he came on the scene. Now that old thing did do some running, and landed me in Washington about 8 o'clock. Went to the home of Dr. W. H. Jernagin, president of the National Race Congress, and a man of worth. I talked with that noted Texan, Hon. Emmett J. Scott of Howard University, also Dr. B. F. Watson, and one or two others, and soon off for New York. I was a little disappointed on reaching New York City, under the Hudson river, for I expected to find all New York stirred up over Hon. Marcus, Garvey, and there was but little said about him. 'Well, such is life. When you think you are big, then you are not as large as you think you are. You will just about fit in a thimble. We at times make an inventory of ourselves, and find out whether we are increasing or decreasing, and if you fail to make the inventory, we are apt to run over, and the world will be laughing at you. You take that fellow that Goldsmith talks about, "And still they gazed and still the wonder grew how such a small head could carry all that he knew." This is some big town, believe me, and they have some big houses, and people upon people. This is one of the most peopleingest places I have ever seen. Here is where the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias is soon to meet. It is a city of churches and many of them, all sizes and kinds. They have the Baptists, all the Methodists, Presbyterians, Christian, Congregationalists, jumpers, Rollers, and I could just a few hundred other kinds. Now about this sailing business. Rev. E. Arlington Wilson is one of the secretaries of the National Baptist convention, and he left in great style. You see his wife came all 'the way from Dallas, Texas, to New York to see her husband get on the big boat. She inspected his room, saw his roommates, and learned all about the ships, and I think she osculated a few times, and then that old captain, or some other fellow, shouted "All shore who's goin' shore." Just think of it, in that big crowd a fellow had cheek enough to put his hands in my own pocket, looking for money he had not put in, and I told him if he did not take his hands out, I would land him right square in the place where the wind was never know to blow, and where the weather was hot all the time. He rushed away. That boat was just a block or more long, and it pulled out and I stood and saw it move off, and then I made my way to the next point. Back to the home of Dr. Montroe W. Thornton, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, New York, and the man who has won promotion in his church. Dr. Thornton is a young man, and has taken the time to prepare for his work. He has been pastor and presiding elder, and in Boston, Philadelphia, and he has put New York on the map for his church, and in 1924, the general conference will show its appreciation for his work by making him a bishop. He is not begging, but has won this place, and should have it. There are many reasons why he should be elected. He is a representative of the aggressive young men. He is a trained man. He is a first-class preacher. He is a leader of men. He is an organizer, and other things I will tell you later. I have had the pleasure of a woman, who is putting life into colored doll babies, Mme. Allone, of 2376 Seventh avenue. She is making a doll that can walk just like a human, can talk, can cry like a real CITY Kansas City, Kansas, July Kansas City, Kansas, July 6, 1923 The floral offerings were large and beautiful.

One of the City's Prominent Citizens Mr. Perry Brown, 947 Freeman avenue, one of the city's prominent and well known citizens passed away last Saturday, June 30, at 12:30 p. m. after only about three weeks' illness. He had been confined to bed but little and had been up most of the time and improving nicely until the day before his death, when he took worse and passed away at the hour mentioned, as his wife was supporting him, as he was walking from his room. Mr. Brown was a stone and brick mason and was one of the race's reliable contractors, he putting up the $40,000 stone building for Western University last year. He was a man of jovial spirits and always had a pleasant word for everybody. When the night school last year put in their course, brick and stone masonry, Mr. Brown was appointed as the instructor for this department and gave excellent satisfaction. He was very much devoted to his church and could be found regularly at its services, both Sunday and week night services. He had been a member of Prudence Lodge of A. F. & A. M. for 58 years, who had charge of the remains. The funeral was held Tuesday at 1 p. m., from First A. M. E. church, his pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, delivering the funeral eulogy, assisted by Rev. E. Wittenberg, Allen Chapel, K. C., Mo. Rev. Payne and Rev. Davis. The deceased leaves a devoted and attentive wife, Mrs. Esther Brown, three sisters, two brothers and one nephew. Mrs. Arrington, a sister, of St. Louis, was here at the death of her brother. Mrs. Minnie Weaver, 905 Washington boulevard, has been quite sick with sciatica, but is getting around some now.

Three first class barbers wanted at The Ideal Barber Parlor, 8 chair shop, with latest modern chairs. Call or write Ideal Barber Parlor, State avenue and Fifth street, Kansas City, Kansas. When the boat sailed, I got with Miss Myrtle Anderson and Mrs. Wilson, and they showed me around New York. This is how I met this wonderful woman, Mme. Malone. I think I will bring this letter to a stop now. I have just talked with Miss Ruth Bradley over the speaking tube. ADVOCATE MISS BROWN ENTERTAINED AND OTHER RACE WOMEN. Mrs. A. J. Bouldin, 611 Parallel avenue, Kansas City, Kansas, entertained Sunday afternoon from 5 to 7, in honor of Miss Hallie Q. Brown. The afternoon was very pleasantly spent and enjoyed by all.

Dominion bug experts will import from the United States this summer a horde of parasitic wasps which they will turn loose in the Canadian corn belt to destroy and fatten upon their hereditary enemy, the corn-boring worm. The campaign will be waged along lines drawn by W. R. Walton, superintendent of the insect division of the United States bureau of entomology, who offered his aid at a recent meeting of grain growers. Wherever corn is grown in America there lives the corn borer, taking his toll of millions of dollars from the value of crops each year. He makes his home within the green husk of the tender plant, and eats his way over the milky ear, completing his work of destruction long before the crop matures. Like Most Women. I shall never forget the agony of it. I was looking at ribbons in a department store. Like most women, I have a habit of putting my purse on the counter in front of me while examining merchandise. Not finding what I wanted, I picked up what I thought was my leather handbag and walked a few steps away when I became aware that my own bag was swinging on my arm. Fearfully I looked to see what it was that I had picked up, and, to my horror, discovered I had picked up another woman's purse.—Exchange. Honors Were Even. Jean was telling me how she encouraged her brother. She said, "At school when the teacher tells Hugh to go to the board he's afraid until I say 'go and try' and when he gets to the board he isn't a bit afraid." From another room plped up a small boy's voice: "Sister, don't you always call for me when you see a dog?"—Exchange. Obedient Child. Florence had been told many times not to swallow the seeds of different fruits. Having salmon for lunch not long ago, she was busily picking out all the small bones. Suddehly the four-year-old looked up at her mother and said: "Mamma, just look at the seeds I have taken out already!" California's Lemon Crop. The present lemon crop of the State of California with one exception, will be the largest ever shipped out of that state. It is estimated that it will consist of 10,878 carloads of 400 boxes each. The crop of 1920-21 was slightly larger. Lighthouse for Airplanes The first "air lighthouse." at Mitchel field. New York, has been pronounced a success by army air officers. It will flash in Morse code the first letters of the field's name at 10-second intervals for the guidance of night fliers. His Substitute.
