DEDICATORY SERVICES, NEW DOUGLASS HOSPITAL, SUNDAY, 3 P.M. --- KANSAS TRIP TO NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION BY REV. W. A. BOWREN, PASTOR FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Our trip to the National Baptist Convention, Los Angeles, Cal. We left Kansas City, 11 a.m., September 2, by the way of the Rock Island. Our train was the third section of Specials over that road leaving out of Kansas City. Our first stop was Topeka, where we were greeted with a large citizenship who wished us well on our trip. A part of them joined the delegation. It was a beautiful Sabbath day and we were not unmindful that it was the Sabbath day, because service was had on our train. We trailed behind the President's special. At Herrington, Kansas, we were joined by Dr. Van Leu, Rev. Ramey, and others. Our next stop was Pratt, Kansas, where we overtook the President's Special. We were met by Dr. N. J. Stokes, who had arranged for service, at which the President, Dr. L. K. Williams spoke; after which the conductor hollowed "All Aboard," and we all entrained. Our next scheduled stop was El Paso, Texas, where we arrived Monday at 1:30 p. m. We were met by the N. A. A. C. P. who had arranged for our entertainment. They had taxi's and special street cars, conveying us to the Douglass high school, where sumptuous feasts were prepared, thence to Juarez, Old Mexico. A quaint oriental town that knows no color line, no segregation, and in fact the city was turned over to us. It goes without saying we enjoyed ourselves. From thence we went to Port Bliss, on the suburbs of El Paso. Our sight seeing trip took in the important places of El Paso. We arrived back to Union Station, which had also been turned over to us. Just before leaving, 9. p. m., a great concourse of singing was led by the delegates on the President's special, from the rear end of the Observation car, all the other delegates participating. Again our attention was called by the "All Aboard," by the conductor. Section after section pulled out until seven had pulled out; each section having on-board not less than 250 delegates. Making a total of 1750 happy and (Continued on Page 3.) NEW DOUGLASS HOSPITAL DEDICATORY SERVICES SUNDAY.

KANSAS CITY MONARCHS WINS THE PENANT BY TAKING TWO GAMES FROM DETROIT. The Kansas City Monarchs, a member of the National Negro Baseball League, closed the gate so far as the pennant is concerned when they won two games in the series, just finished Tuesday against the Detroit Stars. In fact, it was_won a week ago, as had been given out to the press from Chicago, but that old sly foxy Rube, unearthed or exhumed one of his old skeletons of this or last year's records and wired Wilkinson during the Detroit series, that the Monarchs would have to win two more games to claim the 1923 flag, so they just went to work and pulled the chestnut out of the fire. The standing now is the Monarchs first, Detroit second and Uncle Rube's Giants, third and the other teams of the league feathering on down to the bottom. Well, it's all over and the great Negro baseball magnate is forgiven. While Detroit took three games out of five payed with the Monarchs, the pennant was sewed up before the last game was played Tuesday. Saturday, September 29, St. Louis will come for a three-game series, playing a double header Sunday, September 30, first game being called at 2 p.m. On Saturday, October 6, the Denver Western League (white) team picked from the entire league, will come for two games, the second one on Sunday, October 7. Other games to follow will be announced. Greater Kansas City should feel proud of their team, and Mr. Wilkerson, as they played 31 more games than Rube's American Giants and many more than any team in the league. Rev. W. J. Davies and wife, Mrs. Davies, arrived here the first of the week from Pocatello, Idaho, of the Puget Sound Conference, where Rev. Davies was a successful pastor. Rev. Davies went out of the First A. M. E. church in the ministry some six years ago and was sent to the California conference, where he did good work for several years. Mrs. Davies was a member of First A. M. E. choir when they left. Rev. Davies will probably take work in one of the conferences in the middle west. They are the guests while here of Mr. and Mrs. Al Bryant, 2109 North Third street. Their many friends are glad to see them with us, after a long stay from home. CITY Kansas City, Kansas, September S, NEW DOUGH EMANCIPATION A GLOWING SU OF LARGE MAGNITUDE. I VERNON DELIVERS A OF HIS LIFE Fifteen Thousand Attend Exercise Crowned Queen Kansas City, Kansas, September 28, 1923 EMANCIPATION A GLOWING SUCCESS. PARADE OF LARGE MAGNITUDE. BISHOP W. T. VERNON DELIVERS ADDRESS OF HIS LIFE Fifteen Thousand Attend Exercises. Miss Swaney Crowned Queen In the summer of 1896, a strong, buxom young man stepped up to your humble servant at Fifth and Minnesota saying: "I have come to your city, I know of you, as one of the boys from dear old Lincoln Institute. I haven't got any thing, but I am willing to do almost any thing." I told him we were pulling off an emancipation business at Kerr's park and wanted somebody for the main speech—and as he had the gift of gab, he could trot in there if he would, and I thought we could "dig him up ten dollars." He took the job quickly, and performed it most excellently. It was truly "bread cast upon the waters." For that same young man came back to us on this 22nd—not so young as then—nor over-wrought with years—but rather in the fullness of his manhood, full with facts and information and withal, ripe and good judgment, to deliver to us, without the ten dollars, but free of charge—the greatest speech he has yet delivered in all of his great many, great and good ones—this was our friend and fellow townsmen, the Rt. Rev. William T. Vernon, Bishop of the A. M. E. church in South Africa, who gave us the speech of his life. It made us happy and he seemed the same, and thus closed a truly glorious and profitable day. Miss Swaney of Walnut boulevard Baptist schurch, was crowned as queen. Miss Flora Caraway of Memphis, Tenn., is visiting her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Caraway, 2522 North Seventh street. Mr. G. Robinson has opened up a grocery and meat market in the McNair room, corner of Freeman avenue and Tenth street. Mr. Robinson is an experienced groceryman and his store shows it. --- THE CIVIC LEAGUE AT HARVEST The Civic eLague desires to express its thanks to the various individuals, schools, military, fraternal and religious organizations which helped to make the Emancipation Celebration parade an unqualified success. The interest manifested in the various features of the parade, and the favorable comment thereon, assures the participants of a hearty welcome awaiting their future efforts. The annual celebration affords a splendid advertising opportunity to our business and proessional men, to awaken or revive public interest in their several lines of vocation. We hope that the business men, will grow a deep sense of appreciation of this worthy occasion, and lend themselves fully and freely to the success of the occasion in the future in every way possible. Too much praise can not be given the military display made by the squadron of cavalry from Fort Leavenworth which was mentioned by many as the strongest feature of the parade. It was, in and of itself, wonderful, and served to make the affair one of the most historic and logical presentations ever given as a celebration. That is to say—the proclamation—a masterpiece out from the matchless brain and great heart and soul of that most immortal of men; the lovable and lamented Lincoln. Held within, the salvation of an humble, docile and outraged group of people. Which condition was in a highly creditable manner represented in the parade, by a bunch of slaves, followed by a living picture of an incident in their lives—the fierce and dreaded blood hound. This was considered one of the strongest features in the parade. Next followed a number of men who were actually subjects of the proclamation, and who became free by it. And thereupon enlisted and entered the war to save the Union, and make their freedom secure. How well they performed their newly assumed duties, the record of those black soldiers in the bloodiest battle fields of the bloodiest war the world has ever known, tells in thunder tones, the reverberations of which, may yet be heard as they sweep down the ages. These brave black soldiers were ably represented in the bevy of old soldiers from Sumner Post No. 10, which should be rechristened "Corvine Patterson Post No. 10," on a truck provided for them, because of their age. That also, was thought to be a most worthy feature of the parade. We hail and stand uncovered in the presence of these grand old men—who without homes and without a country, and without even the right to call their loved ones their own, fought as bravely and as faithfully, as did those who fought for their "alters and their fires, and for the green graves of their sires, their God and native land." This feature of the parade was followed by a representation of what that slave-soldier, transformed into BIBLE CLASS NO. 7. Bible Class No. 7, the First A. M. E. Sunday School has organized their class for the coming year. This class hopes to be of much service to the Sunday School and church. The officers of the class are as follows: President, Thelma Mae Ish; Vice-President, Mayme Walker; Secretary, Velma Fields; Corresponding Secretary, Allena McNair; Treasurer, Floris Gulliford; Reporter, Lucille E. King; Social Committee-Adabooth Penn, Chairman; Lola Belle Shelton, Louise Orme. Teacher, Miss Mae McClelland. ADVOCATE a citizen has done, and is doing to make good as a factor in the community. His eforts and inclination to thoroughly prepare himself as an intelligent and efficient integer in the strenuous equation of civilization, was most aby represented by the altogether worthy display of the schools—the Sumner High, and the Junior High, the grade schools and Western University, were all in line, and were there in great numbers, and in the "pink of condition." The teachers of those schools deserve all the praise which is being heaped upon them. And thereupon followed a display of what our group, after being properly prepared, is striving to accomplish in the industrial- civil and economic fields of human endeavor. This feature evidenced the fact that we are trying to grow some adequate conception of the proper action in each of these fields. That is to say, we are learning something of production and distribution, and of the conservation of our powers and possibilities as well also, something of our relations to ourselves and of ourselves to individuals of other groups, and of our group, to other groups, all of which go to make the sum total of the scheme of welfare of our commonwealth. For this display, considerable has been said in favorable comment for which we are truly thankful. Having made our way to Heathwood, in that line of march—we assembled to hear the treat of our lives. It may be given in a few words, which make a story too good, not to tell. I. F. BRADLEY. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER HOSPITAL, SUNDA TROOPERS DRAW LARGE CROWD AND ARE HIGHLY ESTEEMED. The. detachment of cavalrymen from Ft. Leavenworth, who camped at the tourist camp on the Reidy road from Friday until Monday, were visited during those days and especially Sunday by hundreds of the city's best citizens. Bishop W. T. Vernon, Mrs. Vernon and Dr. J, D. Barksdale, editor of the Western Christian Recorder, were among the many callers on the troopers Sunday. There were sixty men, 48 horses and three large army trucks to carry the camp equipment. The boys made many acquaintances and many friends among Kansas cityans while here. Compliments of the highest order were heard everywhere for the soldier boys, by both races, as to their neatness, cleanliness and high citizenship. Everyone had the mark of a gentleman. They are certainly welcome to the city and homes of our best citizens at any time and their commanding officer at the Fort, must be just as proud of them as those who come in contact with them. The unit was in command of Sergeant John Bailey, with Sergents Rhoades and Reese assistants, the former two with twenty-five years' service, who will retire soon. This was the first time they had ever left the Fort on a hike in charge of one of their own in full command, which was not only appreciated by them, but by the colored citizens of Kansas City, Kansas. The display on the streets in the parade and the exhibition at the park, with their beautiful trained horses, was an attraction that will long be in the minds of the thousands, who were present. They started on their return trip Monday morning. CITY BRIEF'S AND IN SOCIETY.

All the people have not left California yet, for I am here, and I am not prepared to say just how long I am going to have to remain here and it is not yet decided whether or not I will follow Warren G. Harding and have a special train to convey me back to my friends. There is now a contest between the doctors of the hospital here and the bugs, and my friends may write to me at 2462 Clay street, San Francisco, Calif. The fight it now on. Of course I have told you that one of the greatest sessions in the history of the National Baptist convention has passed into history, and now the Baptists of this country have turned their eyes, their money and all toward the Sunday School Publishing Board, for that publishing house must be a go, and next September it must be dedicated. Baptists of the world will go there to see the work done. I hope you will be in position to join them. If you want to make a contribution to the work just send it right along to Rev A. M. Townsend, A. M. M. D., and he will receipt you for it, and turn it right into brick and mortar. I know you want this done and since you want it it will be accomplished. I have put one hundred bucks to it myself and I am going to get hold of some more when I get away from here. After this week, I fear that I will be the only one left to talk about the convention, and this is the way I can console myself and at the same time fight them bugs. Some of the people have decided to remain out here, while others have gone home to sell out and make their way to California to remain until separated from the earth by death. You may expect to hear great things from here in the future. I am here to tell you that all the damphules are not dead, and the biggest of them all lives in California, and in Los Angeles at that. I know when he leaves here the devil is going to have a good time. I think his work will be to make the water hot for Hot Springs, Ark. He is just one more damfule. Of LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS. Alfred Emery Dies. Alfred Emery died September 17 at the Soldiers' Home military hospital. He was born in Green County, Ky., 1841. He was well known in this city, living here 50 years. For 10 years he carried mail at Fort Leavenworth. He was a member of the York Masons. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Winnie Emery-Turner, and one son, Alfred Emery, both of this city, five grand children, Elmer Turner of this city, Walter of Detroit and Henderson Emery, Seattle, Wash.

By 12 o'clock we had all retired safe under the watchful care of the Master who has promised to watch over us, and true to His promise He did, for there was not the slightest disturbance. We were enabled to see the sun rise in the West from the West. Our first stop that morning was 8:00 a. m. at Tucson, Ariz. A beautiful health resort. Here we changed crews, refreshed ourselves, and bought lunch. Again we heard the cry "All Aboard." Our next stop was Yuma, Arizona, the hottest place in America. The people in that section call it "Hell." It is said that the thermometer left there in the sun will burst. This is an Indian town the Yuma tribe, after which it is named. There was stationed on the ground at the station, Indians selling beads, tapestries, relics and etc. Some of these Indians were 110 years old. All tourists disembarked to see them; we met the Chief of the tribe, a young man, who speaks the English language fluently, having been a student at Tuskegee. Again we heard the conductor cry "All Aboard," for our next scheduled stop, which was Los Angeles. On our way we went through mountains, valleys, and the inevitable desert, inevitable because Los Angeles cannot be reached without crossing some parts of it. This desert spreads across the following states: Mexico, Texas Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, so that in order to get to Los Angeles, from this side without crossing some parts of this desert, one would have to sail on the Atlantic, into the Gulf of Mexico, and into the Pacific ocean, and land by steamship on the western side of Los Angeles. For hundreds of miles we traveled through this desert, where no natural streams of water were observed, no shrubbery other than the Cactus bush. Barren hills, mountains of sand, and desolated regions, were objects of our gaze, until we came to the imperial valley, which by the means of irrigation is made very rich and fertile, and it is said, here is where some of the best fruit and cotton grows. At 11:45 p. m. Tuesday we reached our destination, Los Angeles, where it seemed that all the colored citizens of Los Angeles had turned out to meet us. As we passed through the Union Station each state was greeted, by representatives of the respective states who were citizens there. Some of the delegations went East, some went West, some went North and some went South, with friends who met them there; others who were not met by friends went to the National Baptist headquarters where they were assigned homes. I was domiciled with Mrs. L. B. Williams, 1541 E. Twenty-first, by Kansans, who had gone before. At 10 a. m., the National Baptist Convention was called to order by the president, Dr. L. K. Williams. After devotionals the program was adopted, thus opening one of the greatest sessions of the convention. The Convention was more largely attended than was anticipated; it was thought that because of the distance our delegation would not be large, but it seemed that everybody took the advantage of this trip to see the West. The program was excellent; the deliberations harmonious. The president's address, which was his first, was a masterpiece that cannot be eclipsed even by himself, however long he may be in this position and irregardless to the number of annual addresses we hope he will be able to deliver that none will surpass this even though it is the first. All Baptists were proud of Dr. Williams, because he is a Baptist. All the other denominations colored were proud of him, because he is a Negro; all other denominations and races that were not Negroes were proud of him because he is a man. Under the leadership of Dr. L. K. Williams our denomination is destined to higher heights, and the program that has been arranged, and the foundation that was laid by our lamented chieftain, Dr. E. C. Morris, will be perpetuated by Dr. L. K. Williams, with the cooperation of his constituency. The services were successful, both spiritually and financially. Great sermons were preached and gospel singing thrilled as it seemed, the entire city. Notwithstanding the cost of getting to the convention and lodging while there, the finance was a success, raising approximately $20,000. Los Angeles will ever be grateful for the splendid deportment of the christian influence of the delegation while abiding in its city. In the midst of the second day of our abode in Los Angeles melancholy hung over the entire delegation and particularly the Kansas delegation when the voice of God called from labor to reward our State Missionary, Dr. J. H. Van Leu. At 3:00 p. m., Thursday, Dr. Van Leu, with twenty-four others mostly Kansas brethren, went sightseeing. Upon our return to the convention headquarters, he was called upon to respond to the "Guide" who so nicely entertained us to which he refused, stating that he did not feel like it, however, we planned another sightseeing trip for the next morning, 10:00 o'clock. Rev. Van Leu consented to be one of this number; but at 7 o'clock the next morning, he had gone sightseeing to the "Gloryland" from which place no sightseer ever returns, therefore our 10 o'clock engagement was providentially postponed. Dr. Van Leu's funeral at the National Convention was the first in the history of the convention. About the time we had become reconciled to God's providence and had readjusted ourselves to duties of responsibilities, the voice of God called again, and Dr. Harris of Texarkana, Ark., answered to the call, and he, too, went sightseeing to the "Gloryland." Los Angeles is a beautiful city, where equal rights and civic opportunities and temperate climate all serve as an inducement to our group. Every man could look every man in the face and feel that he is a man irregardless to race or color. Splendid opportunities are offered to our group, and the voice (come West) is almost audible. They have 39 colored policemen, colored magistrates, and in fact, colored officers in all the municipal affairs. This has inspired them to run a colored man for the next mayor. Los Angeles has a population of over 700,000, covering an area of 350 square miles which comprise Los Angeles County. We left Los Angeles at 7:45 a.m., Tuesday the Eleventh, from our return trip, by the way of San Francisco, over the Southern Pacific R. R. Things noticeable on our way: 1. The tunnel, a mile and a quarter long, out of which we came to the famous "Horseshoe Bend," where figuratively speaking, the engineer could shake hands with a passenger in the Observation car. This bend in the railroad is necessary to make the mountain ascent; after we had made this Horshoe Loop, we were 1300 feet above sea level. Our next noticeable place was San Magrriel, Mission, established in 1790 by the Spaniards. The scene along this route was very beautiful; beautiful flowers and hundreds of acres of all kinds of fruit were the objects of our gaze. Oxnard, beet sugar and lima bean district, largest in the world, compares with Madagaski. I saw some of the seven destroyers that were wrecked on September 8. At 8:30 p. m., we arrived at San Francisco, in our number were twenty-four, who all went to the American hotel (white) for lodging; we were accorded all privileges, that were due hotel guests. The following morning we took breakfast at a white cafe, went back to the hotel, took the sightseeing bus and soon our company was augmented by the other delegation, who had arrived. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE On this sightseeing trip our attention was first called to the Palace hotel, where our late President Harding paid the world "Good-Bye." From there we went to the Golden Gate park, the beauty of which is indescribable; 10,013 acres are planted in vegetation. Fifty years ago this park was barren. The common tree here as well as throughout California is the Eucaliptic tree, native of Australia; there are two beautiful lakes in this park, the Middle Lake and the Enchanted Lake, which lake is below sea level. From thence we went to the famous Cliff House, located on the Pacific Ocean, with nothing intervening; this is the third house that has ever been located on this spot. Directly opposite the Cliff House, 2000 miles away is Honolulu, to the South of which is Japan, 4000 miles from the Cliff House. The Golden Gate, from whence the park gets its name, is a narrow channel of water, which, at its shortest point is seven-eighths of a mile in width, connecting the bay to the Pacific ocean. Into this Golden Gate, all vessels report. The Golden Gate is called the Golden Gate, because of the golden glow of the setting sun, which seemed to go down in it. San Francisco has 241 churches, 94 public schools, 45 private schools, and ten acres of hospitals. The military prison is located on a small island in the bay with nothing else on it. San Francisco covers nearly 46 square miles, embracing the entire of San Francisco county. San Francisco and Los Angeles are the only towns in the United States comprising the entire county in which they are located. The earthquake fire covered an area of four and seven-tenths square miles destroying 28188 buildings; the total cost of the fire was $300,000,000. This area is now rebuilt. We left San Francisco at 1:20 p.m. Wednesday, by the way of the S.P. Ferry into Oakland, at which place we took the ferry, that took the whole train across the river; from thence we wound our way through the historic Sacramental Valley into Sacramento, the capital city, eighty-six miles from San Francisco, and on through the Northern part of California until 12 o'clock Wednesday night, we were in the eight hundred-mile long state of California. We came into Nevada, the first town was Reno, where Jack Johnson was made famous (the next town was Elko, of which place it is said was insignificant before the fight, but now a very important town.) The Sierra Nevada Mountains were beautiful to behold. The Grand Canon, the Valley of the Eagle river, all which are charming scenes. After leaving the valley we came to the highest point, or to what is called the Top of the World, 10,000 feet above sea level. At this place the mountains wrestle with the clouds. From Ogden, Wednesday, 6:25 p. m., we came to Salt Lake City, 8:30 p. m., which derives its name from the famous salt lake, over which our train passed, which is said to be the longest tressle in the world, 22 miles long, the lake being 44 miles long. The Mormon temple is the center of all attraction, together with the tabernacle, into the temple only members are admitted and that only once in a lifetime. The tabernacle is a cone-shaped building with a seating capacity of 10,000; and the last time it was over-filled was when President Harding passed through on his way to San Francisco. The roof of this building is self-supporting, ten feet thick with no nails in the roof. The organ, which was until recently the largest in the world, and is now the best sounding in the world, has 700 pipes, installed in 1869, at a cost of $200,000. There are several other fine buildings on the campus, which campus is surrounded with a great stone wall. This institution is maintained and supported exclusively by tithing. They have service in the tabernacle from 12 to 12:45 o'clock. The doors are closed promptly at 12 after which no one is allowed to come in or go out, until the close of the service, which is 12:45 o'clock. The order of these services are organ recitals. Our delegation attended this service. The acoustics were fine. Demonstrations were made. One of the officers standing in the rostrum, whispered, and dropped a pin in his hand, and GRAND SATD'Y 29 SEPT. rubbed his hands together, all of which was heard by those in the remotest part of the building. No one was allowed to whisper. During the recital the organist stopped playing and requested that those who were compelled to cough, put handkerchiefs to their mouths. I never saw colored brethren so quiet in all the days of my life. We spent a night in Salt Lake City at a Japanese hotel. We left this city at 4:45 p. m. Thursday, by the way of the D. & R. G. on the Scenic Limited; we saw the sun rise on the Rio Grande, this is a beautiful scene, where on one side is the mountains, the other side the Rio Grande, beyond the river another chain of mountains. It seemed that the river, the mountains, the clouds, the sun and the trees, all mingled together. Further on we went through the tenn., pass at Leadville, the place mentioned above as the "Top of the World," where we saw the snow-capped mountains, of which Mt. Massive, of the Rockies, is the most conspicuous. We entered the Royal Gorge at Texas Creek, Saturday, 4 p. m. It was twenty-four miles through this Gorge; 3000 feet deep, three passages through this Gorge, the railroad, the highway and Texas Creek. We went out of the Gorge at Canyon City, Colo. On passing through this Gorge it seemed to me an infidel would be forced to acknowledge that there is a Supreme Being. We reached Pueblo at 8 o'clock Saturday night; we took the Missouri Pacific for Kansas City, arrived in Kansas City Sunday, 2 p. m., having traveled 4400 miles without even getting a cinder in my eye; however bent almost to the broken point; for all of which I thank the Lord for inspiring you to help me take this trip, which we thank the Lord. The mountains stood like sentinels to the desert and the beautiful blue waters of the Pacific ocean. Saw many of the members and friends from Kansas City on the coast. Took dinner with Sister Ruth Edwards. Shook hands with Sisters Brisco, Bell Mobiley, Lillian Adams, and friends galore. In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. Lulu M.

LULU M. BLOOD, Plaintiff, By I. F. Bradley, her atty. Attest, Carl W. Fincke, Clerk. (First Published Sept. 14, 1923.) Some people are always looking for an excuse to make an excuse. Poker is a game of chance when you lose, of skill when you win. When exercise becomes hard work it is going to be neglected. Most people who are dignified are so because they can't help it. Why is an unmarried woman only thirty on her fortieth birthday? Discontent is the first step in the progress of a man or a nation. All men have prejudices. Some apply reason to them; others don't. --- PUBLICATION NOTICE READ AND SMILE Science Note. He—"Does the moon affect the tide?" She—"No, only the untied."—Michigan Gargoyle. Between Friends.

Must Have Liked Her Little Tommy came across his father seated in his favorite armchair, smoking his pipe and reading the evening newspaper. He stood for some time looking at his seated parent until at last he put the paper down and said: "Well, Tommy, what makes you so quiet and thoughtful? "Just wondering," answered Tommy. "Wondering what?" "If you're fond of cats or not, father." "Cats? I hate cats." "You don't even like our cat, do you?" "Our cat? No, I am not particularly fond of our cat." "I bet our cat hates you more than you hate her." "Why?" "Because you're sitting on her." No Such Luck. Wandering down to the New York aquarium, a couple of East side girls proceeded to inspect the various denizens of the deep. The dogfish did not intrigue them much. Neither did the sea bass.

YOUR NAME Is it on our subscription list? We will guarantee you full value FOR YOUR MONEY course, like them all, he has a big following. He is one Shields. I cannot disgrace the ministry by calling him "Reverend," and I would just say Devil Shield. He is just as sure of hell fires as if he were there now. He calls himself the Almighty. I believe he says that Fred Douglass is his God, and he is the Messiah or something like that. It is the biggest mess I ever heard of and white women and men, black women and men, large and small, follow him. They get up and tell what their Lord and Master has done for them and a lot of other damphuleishness. They make the songs honor "Shields." For instance, they sing "Since Shields Came Into My Heart"; "I Am Going to Tell Shields All About It." "Shields Will Take Care of You," and I can't see to save my soul why God dont put an end to this mess. It is in His power to do so. I heard him one night say: "You don't need not John or Jesus when I am here, do you?" "No, sir," came the reply from many throats. "I am the Almighty," [he said, "Amen," "Praise Shields," and the response from that same crowd of candidates for hell. "I was laying at hell's door and Shields came and lifted me out," said a woman of the other race, "and I have been happy ever since. Praise the name of Shields." They have good singing, and people from all over the country go to see and witness people walking into the infernal region. I think I will not have more to say about them this week. I had the pleasure of shaking hands with the Rev. Dr. S. B. Butler. He was on his way to Ogden, Utah, and from there on home. He shook hands with me, and told me that he was going to pray for me. He dropped something in my hands and told me that I could get me some of the California fruit, and I thanked him. The Rev. `Dr. W. F. Graham of Philadelphia, offered a special prayer for me in the meeting in Los Angeles, and I mean by that in the Ministers' Alliance of that city. He said that I had been of untold service to the Baptists and the race, and he asked God to spare me for a little more service. I thanked him so much for such good words. The Rev. Dr. J. Madison Young also said some real nice things about me as did the Rev. Dr. Westbrooks, of Indianapolis. I have heard them preach my funeral before I crossed over. It is a rare thing that we get to smell any of the flowers before we cross over Jordan. If people have a good thought of you, they reserve it until you are dead, and they shed tears and say their say. Robert R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute, is one of the greatest Americans living today, and the whole race will bow at his shrine now since the hospital question is taking the right attitude. They say "we told you so," or "we knew it was going to happen that way," or the Lord knows what else. But Dr. Moton just put his little feet and his big feet down at the same time and he just stood flat-footed until something had to drop. President Harding had given his word. People wanted him to tell every move he made, and his raise the devil, so to speak, by showing how wrong the white folks of Alabama were, but he was like the wise old owl. This owl did not speak "the less he spoke the more he heard," and Dr. Moton was as wise as that old bird. Just watch the development at Tuskegee. I have had the pleasure of meeting the Rev. C. A. Hamilton, of Oklahoma City. He is one of the leftovers from the National Baptist convention and he is right here doing San Francisco, and believe me honey, when he gets back he will have something to say about California. He is a teacher, and he is going to tell his children about the big ocean, about the ride over the mountain. Everyone of them will take the trip with him to California. He is just filling his think-tank full of information. God bless him. He is doing what we should all do and that is to get information to give to others. The Baptists in several states are turning their attention toward their state conventions. The Rev. Dr. E. Arlington Wilson, of Macedonia Baptist church, will entertain the Baptist Missionary and Educational convention of Texas next month, and I want to be there if the doctors will permit me to do so. Already I have been assigned to stop with Dr. Wilson. He has my room in good shape and Mrs. Wilson says that she is going to feed me until I want no more. Thanks. Oklahoma convention will meet in Sapulpa, and they are going to have some convention there, believe me honey. Missouri convention is to meet, but I do not know where, but I do know that Kansas will meet in Kansas City, Kansas, and be entertained by President Bowren and his people. They are just going to put the big pot in the little one and all of them will have enough to chew on at this convention. I am sorry that I will not be able to attend them. PUBLICATION NOTICE In the District Court of W County, Kansas. Mathilde Ransom, Plaintiff. vs. Dan Ransom, Defendant. To the Above Named Defend You are hereby notified have been sued in the above court, by the above named Bishop William Decker Johnson will open his conference series in El Paso, about October 15, and the next week at San Antonio and on down the line until he is through. He is doing a big work in Texas and I hope to tell you something about it. Speaking of Texas and the A. M. E. church, you know that Prof. A. S. Jackson, one of the leading educators of this country, and I care not about race or color. He is a man with wonderful influence and a great speaker. He is commissioner of education for his whole connection and he is doing a great work. He will be retained at the next general conference, for he has done his work so well that there will be none against him. Dr. S. J. Johnson, will be put in charge of the Church Extension Society, and he is just the man for the place, and then I come to the missionary department. Just now, Dr. J. W. Rankin is there, but he has failed in health, and doubtless will be succeeded by Dr. C. V. Abington of Dallas. I will tell you more about it in time to come. I have something to tell you about Rev. H. S. Sims, and many others in Texas. But I am not going to make a Texas letter from California. Look out for my other letters. J. O. MIDNIGHT. CLEANING LONDON BIG JOB Great City Gets Almost Incredibly Dirty in the Course of Twelve Months. Cleaning is a gigantic task for a city like London, England. Daily 5,000 tons of rubbish are collected by 1,320 vehicles, at a cost of ten cents a hundred weight. Cleaning Victoria, station takes six months and forty-five tons of paint (thirty-four white lead, eleven linseed oil at $200 a ton). One of the biggest spring-cleaning jobs ever undertaken was the dusting and renovating of the British Museum library. Two hundred and fifty men were kept busy for fourteen months. Redecorating the dome and walls of the great reading-room took 250,000 leaves of beaten gold. Another big renovating job carried out periodically is spring-cleaning Tower bridge. Twenty tons of paint are used in the process, which occupies roughly five months. Big hotels like the Savoy and the Carlton are thoroughly spring-cleaned every year, although the work is so well organized that few visitors to the hotels know that it is going on. Armies of Anta Ants are harmless creatures in Canada. In South America are some big enough to hide a quarter. Fierce of them are the army ants, which organize themselves into battalions. At certain times of the year these insects move in dense masses along the narrow forest paths. No living creature, not even the jaguar or the tapir, can face them. If any animal failed to move out of the way of the army they would simply pass over it, each ant taking a bite without stopping, and in a few minutes nothing would be left but bones. Amongst these ants are special classes. The fighters have huge jaws, almost as big as their bodies. The workers collect food and build the nests, but they do nothing of the tidying up, which is the work of a special class of housemaid ants. Others make massage their particular duty. When tired workers come in the masseurs take charge of them, rubbing down their weary limbs. In a Japanese English Class The lesson was on the farm house occupation of churning. When the teacher had explained that the milk, after the cream was skimmed off, was called skimmed milk, she proceeded to explain the process of butter making. Later she asked, "What do we call the milk that is left when the butter is taken from the churn?" The student replied, "Skimmed cream." Hia Trouble. "My stars!" surprisedly ejaculated a tourist who had stopped in the big road to ask a direction. "What makes that lad scratch himself so vigorously?" "His last year's chiggers, I—p'tu—reckon," repilled Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge.—Kansas City Star. Agitation. "It has been hinted that you are an agitator." "That's unjust," replied Senator Sorghum.
