KANSAS KANSAS CITY BRANCH HAD ONE OF BEST CONFERENCES So Says James Weldon Johnson, Secretary N. A. A. C. P. The following letter of thanks has been received by Mr. Andrew F. Wilson, president of the Kansas City, Kan., branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. To the Officers of the Kansas City, Kan., Branch: For the National Office I wish to express to the officers and members of the Kansas City Branch the great appreciation which we feel for the manner in which the local arrangements for the Fourteenth Annual Conference were planned and carried out. We have never had better arrangements for a conference than those which were made and executed at Kansas City, nor have we ever had a conference which produced more far-reaching effects. We wish especially to commend the Branch for avoiding the annoying and humiliating necessity of begging delegates and visitors for contributions to help finance the conference. In this the Kansas City Branch has set an example which we believe will be followed in the future by all other branches which entertain the Conference. We wish also to express our appreciation for the many marks of personal courtesy which the local committee extended to the National Officers and visiting delegates. These courtesies help to make a conference pleasant as well as important. We believe that the Conference had such a marked effect upon the community that the Kansas City Branch can now launch a campaign for membership and greatly increase its strength with very little effort. We hope that the officers will favorably consider doing so. With best wishes for the continued success and power of the Brauch, I am. Yours fraternally, (Signed) James W. Johnson. PASEO Y. M. C. A.

"TO HAVE FUN, BREAK RULES" Between the shores of the Great Lakes and the Pacific coast of the Golden West lay a small college town, a highway of joy, despair, hope of the past and of the future. It is situated far from dives, rivers, gloomy warehouses, shady hotels and clubs, but it swings to the pace of church, library, and ere it ends, to that desire of youth in endeavors, aspirations and ambitions. To the world rolling by in their cares toward larger cities, it seems more or less a quiet enough, yea, ideal place for girls and boys to study science, music, art and drama, but to the students enrolled it's a mecca of fun. "Rules are things to be broken," can be heard from the lips of each student. Their firm belief is that the fewer left unbroken the less amount of routine and discipline. There is a tradition that is handed down to the lower classmen of this little town, but there are rules governing this tradition, "but of course one can't resist the temptation of breaking a rule," quotes a sage of this town. "Sh-h-h, swipe all the freshie's keys you can get," whispered an old inhabitant of the town. "Why?" asked another. "Initiation tonight at one o'clock," replied the first speaker, followed by "mum's the word." It is written upon the matron's book, touch not another key," but that was just for fun and in less than fives minutes every new (Continued on Page 4.) LOCAL NEWS. Kansas City, Kansas, Octob A.

ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER THE PASEO YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. The Paseo Young Men's Christian Association is an asset to Kansas City. It is one of the most valuable institutions yet produced by the citizens of Kansas City. A brief visit will disclose a remarkably clean building from boiler room through gymnasium, lobby, offices, cafeteria and each of the forty-five dormitory rooms. Men of all ranks of -human constructive activity share the comforts of the building and the inspiration of the institution—men in overalls, students, the boy who labors daily, and men of professions, meet here on a common level—the level of human brothers. One of the delightful things about the Young Men's Christian Association is that its doors stand open twenty-four hours a day, to render an encouraging service to men and boys. The Young Men's Christian Association never sleeps. If it had quarters as large again it would not then be able to accommodate the increasing number of men and boys who appreciate its wholesome environments. It is a home for the man away from home. Once inside its doors there is little need for one to leave—for here care of body, encouragement of mind, development-of heart power and a firmer hold on the true values of life will engage him. No thoughtful man or boy can enter the building without being helped. A staff of secretaries is devoting thought, interest and prayer for the wellbeing of the men and boys of our city. They are Christian men. All are proud of the fact that over seven hundred men and boys are members of the Paseo Young Men's Christian Association, but there is a longing, yearning desire to reach many times that number. Another important fact is, that the Young Men's Christian Association is hand in glove with the fib host and best interests of the church. Again it is the one common ground where men of all races can and do meet. This is a fact fraught with unlimited possibilities for bringing about a finer and happier inter-racial relationship. "Inter" is the prefix that shows the pivotal position of the Young Men's Christian Association and indicates its universal service, viz: inter-denominational, inter-racial, international. To be a member of the Young Men's Christian Association is evidence that a man stands for the higher values of life. It is capital. A membership card carried in the pocket is a recommendation. The Young Men's Christian Association is due to the things for which it stands—receives calls for dependable men and boys. To recommend such is a pleasure. No man is so low in the gutter but that he can be helped. In the language of those who used to "tote" fire, "If you brush away the ashes you will find the live coals." Again no man is so high, or so prosperous but what he needs the gripping influence of this institution. So all men—the laborer, the student, the doctor, the merchant, the lawyer, the school teacher, the preacher, will find within the walls of the Young Men's Christian Association a hearty welcome and encouragement to meet life's sterner tasks boldly and victoriously. Fifteen hundred men and boys of Kansas City should immediately unite themselves with the Young Men's Christian Association, located at 1884 The Paseo. Its value cannot be estimated. Home From West Coast Africa Miss Frances B. Watson, Missionary, will lecture at THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, Corner of Nebraska avenue and Fifth street Under auspices of RUTH MISSIONARY CIRCLE. Miss Watson will appear in Native African Costume and give an account of her five years' work among Natives. Come and hear this great and good woman. IT IS FREE A Reception Will be Tendered Her After the Lecture. Silver Offering at the Door. COME AND HEAR THE MESSAGE FROM AFRICA After Six Successful Years at First Church. After six years and four months' service as pastor of First A. M. E. church, cofiner of Nebraska avenue and Eighth street, Rev. Dr. James F. Griffin, changes pulpits. Dr. Griffin came to this church from Mobile; Ala., a stranger to the congregation and not known to the ministers in the Fifth Episcopal district. He came in a time when the church had been without a pastor for quite a while; besides it was in a great financial struggle, with a congregation gloomy and disheartened. It was a scene of discouragement for any man whose ankles were weak and had not the faith in God and the spirit of a hero. But this stalwart Christian giant, with his great brain, soon put on a program that not only brought the membership in closer communion, but today one of the greatest plants in the Fifth Episcopal district stands as a monument to the memory and credit of this hero. We could not omit mentioning his noble and lovable companion, who was translated a few months ago, as having a large share in the building and success of her husband. She will ever remain dear and sweet in the hearts of hundreds, in the church and friends by the legion in the two Kansas Citys and the middle west. Dr. Griffin was not only a churchman, but he was a leader of men, and his work in this city for humanity will be seen and felt to unborn generations. He knew how to do things and never failed to do whatever he put his mind to do. He was a man of frankness, honest, sympathetic and never turned away from his door any one empty-handed that asked for help. He put Douglas Hospital out of debt the first year here, and has been the one factor in keeping its doors open for unfortunate humanity. And today a new Douglas stands on the corner of Walnut Blvd and Lafayette avenue, at a cost of $18,500, of which over half has been paid this year. He leaves First church with a membership of about 1,400 and free of debt. As a pastor and pulpit preacher he has no peer. Dr. Griffin since coming here has been greatly interested in Western University and was the superintendent and principal factor in the erection of Ward Hall, at a cost of some $40,000. The only children they have is an adopted daughter, Miss Almah, who graduated from Western University in 1922, and is now spending her second year in Tabor College, Tabor, Ia. Not only does the church lose a great leader, but this entire community will feel the loss of his counsel and citizenship. His many friends wish for him a pleasant, successful future in the work he is engaged and he will ever be welcome to our community and homes. Do you know that the Wyandotte Benefit Society offers you more in benefits than any other society in the two states for your money? It is organized to bring the Negroes together. Visit our own meetings the first and third Thursday nights of each month, and get acquainted with the important facts of this movement.

COTTON CROP IN AUSTRALIA Shows Fine Staple in Pod, Though Growing Almost Wild in the Northern Territory. Cotton in Australia has been found showing a very fine staple in the pod, though growing almost wild in the northern territory. Queensland is leading the way thoroughly and well in this matter. Expert and official opinion holds that a large portion of Western Australia is as suitable for cotton production as Queensland. Queensland is setting the pace. Last year 7,000 acres were under crop; this year the area is estimated between 80,000 and 100,000 acres. In two of its subtropical districts 3,000,000 acres are being opened up under the cotton prospects and 200,000 acres in another. The government is guaranteeing a minimum price of $5\frac{1}{2}$d (11 cents) per pound for seed cotton. If cultivation responds the guarantee holds good for three years. The British Australian Cotton association is helping with the erection of 48 ginneries. America demands more cotton; Great Britain is hungering for it. The world is looking for it. If Germany restores her prewar industry, then clearly the world's demand for some considerable time will be far ahead of the supply. Here is another golden opportunity for Australia.—A. S. Ledger, in Current History Magazine. Spanish Shawls. The vogue for scarfs increases as the season progresses. Embroidered crepe Spanish shawls now on lavish display in all New York department stores and specialty shops, proved an introduction to Spanish real lace shawls, scalloped or edged with fringe. The real lace shawl in its turn introduces the commercialized American version—machine-made lace scarfs in green, blue, rose or black for $5.50. Colored mittens displayed with the scarfs are $1.50. Mittens are shown but not worn as yet. They may be forerunners of a fad next summer. There are also gayly plaided woolen scarfs and others of soft striped cashmere, smart for sports.—Dry Goods Economist. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor.

Brooks, of New Orleans, transferred to the Southwest Missouri Conference, and a minister of 28 years in God's service of that state filled the pulpit, who delivered a most scholarly sermon, full of truths and gospel logic. The congregation was compelled to think and meditate upon his message. Rev. J. F. Griffin, the noble Christian minister and humanitarian of this church for six years and four months, who was transferred at the Nebraska Conference, was in charge, and for his last Sunday, as to this Conference year, he being appointed Monday from the Southwest Missouri Conference to Ebenezer church, corner of Sixteenth and Lydia avenue, Kansas City, Mo. While First church and its large membership, with legion of friends, loathed to give him up, the law and rule of the church must be obeyed. The prayers of the church go with him for a building up of his physical body and that his new field of labor may be a glowing success for the Master. First Church's new pastor will be here next week, and while we do not know who it will be by name, but let every member say in the name of God, I am going to do my Christian duty in helping, whoever it may be, to make this year the greatest in the history of the church, in saving humanity.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Rev. W. A. Bowren, D.D., Pastor At even, ere the sun was set, The sick, O Lord, around Thee lay; Oh, in what divers pains' they met, Oh, with what joy they went away! Thus did a crowded house of worshipers wend their 'homeward way from the morning services on last Sabbath morn, with joy and praise for what we heard in sermon, song, and missionary enlightenment. Pastor Bowren preached a great sermon. He started the spiritual fire to burning with the forceful message he delivered. Text, Acts 4:10. Subject, "The Name that Saves, or Salvation in Jesus Only." The subject was discussed under these topics: 1. The world neds a Savior. We do not need to prove the statement that the world needs to be saved. The daily conduct of humanity is all the proof we need. 2. Salvation.—Salvation is the great and central word of the Bible. Salvation as the Bible uses the term and as Jesus taught it, means the redemption of the whole man. Not so very long ago salvation was defined as missing hell and getting into heaven. An individual matter. But we are beginning to understand this. Great word better salvation means the redemption of the whole man, body, soul and mind. A man must be saved in his business, politics, journalism and amusement. 3. Other names have been invoked besides Jesus. Culture, education, travel, knowledge, wealth, commerce, science, legislative laws. But there is one name, and one only that'when invoked saves, and that is Jesus. Jesus laid great stress on heart, life. Get your heart fixed, and all will be well. This name is prominent above all others. "All hail the power of Jesus' name. Let angels prostrate fall." Several accessions. Rev. Booker, of Kansas City, was a visitor, and many others. Sister F. B. Watson made a brief address, but our hearts burned within us when she spoke and sang about her work in far-off Africa, closing with that old but sweet song, "Amazing Grace." The B. Y. P. U. was up to standard. At 8 p. m. Rev. Parsons, of Minneapolis, Minn., preached an effective sermon from Rom. 10-1. Mrs. Parsons sang sweetly, "I Heard the Voice Jesus Say." Music composed by Rev. Parsons, which was very effective. The entire services were inspiring and uplifting. A hearty welcome awaits all who attend our services. Hear Sister Watson, Monday night, 8 p. m. No admission.

The senior choir sang and Dr. Bronson introduced Dr. E. L. Harrison, our ex-pastor, in a kindly manner. Dr. Harrison, an extraordinary preacher, was at his best. His subject was, "A Prophetic Summons to the Modern Church." Text, Is. 60:1, 2, 3 stanzas. "Arise, shine; for the light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee." For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people, but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee." It was one of the greatest spiritual sermons we've ever heard, and the vast congregation gave vent to unanimous praise Some were converted and several joined the church. Pastor Bransan praised the sermon and asked for $50 for Dr. Harrison, which the people gave very quickly. At 8 p. m. another greater multitude crowded into this great church. Dr. Harrison preached another excellent sermon from Jno. 14:2, "Let not your hearts be troubled, ye believe in God believe also in me, etc." Scores of people shouted and more converts and those already Christians joined the church. The choir sang, "It Pays to Serve Jesus," "Let My People Go," and "Because He Loved Me So." Mrs. Over, wife of Rev. Over, of Denver, and Mrs. E. L. Harrison were introduced. Altogether Rev. Harrison was given over $72, and the church collection aside from this was over $155. Pastor Bronson asked Dr. Harrison to come hold a special revival for our church soon. The middle of this month, Rev. Boone, of Chicago, who founded this church, will be here. A banquet is anticipated. All churches and everybody will be invited. Musical Prelude. The Musical Prelude at Metropolitan Baptist Church was very fine last Sunday. The program consisted of a pipe organ solo, Mr. Karhan, violin solo, Mr. Langstron, piano solo, Mr. Brown; and an organ solo,*Mrs. I. I. Wood. The Studio will have programs often. MT.

A large gathering of worshipers assembled at the opening of our service and helped to make one more grand showing of praise and thanks to God for his goodness. Our Sunday school was well attended and much interest taken to see that the lambs were fed Our able superintendent Brother Thomas is very anxious to see that the little ones learn something from the lesson taught. Our morning services were opened by a spiritual prayer, after which a good sermon from Matt. 11:29-30 i "Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest for your souls. For my yoke as easy, and my burden is light." He pictured the bearing of burdens and the yoke with Christ is easy, but when we leave off connection with Christ and try self our burden is hard. All enjoyed a spiritual feast, and three additions to church were made in the morning service. At 5 o'clock, Sister Daniels opened a good B. Y. P. U. service which was successfully carried on until 7 p. m. After rehearsing the lesson, many good pieces were rendered to help make the occasion grand. Come to our B. Y. P. U. and enjoy yourself on Sunday evening, and the crowning part of our day's program for God's service, and every one seemingly tried to do her best. Our pastor preached from text, Daniel 2, 44: "And in these days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but DIRECTORY OF MASONIC LODGES it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever." He pictured this as a righteous kingdom of true Christians that Jesus Christ has established that is today taking the world and is called his church, and he pictured the final crowning of this kingdom to the dissolution of all others. All felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and 20 sinners came forward for prayer out of 2 candidates for baptism came to help make the occasion grand, making in all for the 6 additions to the church. Come to our weekly meetings. You are welcome. All strangers an friends are accorded a hearty welcome to come to our services. You will enjoy it. Our visitors, Rev. Biggs and Sister Biggs, are still with us, trying to help us make our meetings grand. They have our hearty welcome. Read the Advocate. SECOND METROPOLITAN BAPTIST.

Matthews, Sept. 1923.) Kindred, once more we've assembled, And we've met with good intent, In our seventh year's Reunion, To speak of the year we've spent. And since God has blessed and spared us, Let's be happy and be gay; Thankful for this annual gathering, On this great Reunion Day. We true ones, who've held out loyal, We all need to have great cheers; Let's make this the best Reunion That we've had in all these years. We are glad again to know that Cousin Johnny Logan's here, One of our great first ancestors, Who to all of us is dear. From the Soldiers' Home he travels, 'Tho' his eyes with age are kissed, Of our seven annual meetings He has not-one of them missed Cousin French could not be with us In our meeting here this fall, But we're glad he sent his family Who are here now with us all. And we're glad to see here with us, Full of life and full of glee. Our Orestes Scott, a cousin, Here again from Tennessee. And we have the first time wih us, Cousin Eva, full of cheer, Here with us from Indiana, Whom we kindly welcome here. So let us spend happy moments, While under this earthly dome, And rejoice that we are meeting In our President's own home. Glad to see Cousin Viola, Over from Missouri, too, Cousin Neal, our great inventor, And our Cousin Thomas, true, Cousin George and wife are faithful, Cousin Kate and Lulu, true, And Attorney Towers and others, Who talked for our meeting, too. There are others of our family, Who'll ne'er let our meetings fall, But as time will not allow me I'll not try to name them all. This year, we're surprised and happy And we're full of joy and pride. Because Cousin Neal has brought our Family a nice new bride. And we all thank Cousin Fanny For the kindness she imparts, And for her most lovely menu, We all thank her from our hearts. To our President and cousin, We want all to write this down, He has for his earthly partner One of the best cooks in town. Now let all of us be happy, While we are in session here, Thanking God for this great blessing, To be present here this year. Let's resolve, and be determined That next year we will do more And bring other kindred with us, In nineteen and twenty-four. Once more, I say good-bye to you, And repeat the sad refrain, God be with you all and bless you, Until we all meet again. (Copyright applied for by M. C. Matthews, composer.)

(First published October 5, 1923) HERE AND THERE Love keeps the family jars empty. China has more than 1,000,000 lepers. Tact points out the "psychological moment." Pollcemen in Egypt carry shields for protection. If one likes humanity, one can't be very wicked. Even the hotheaded man occasionally gets cold feet. Misfortunes often put us wise to our own carelessness. The Greeks looked upon pepper as a valuable medicine. A 15-cent can of American tomatoes costs 60 cents in Riga. London consumes about 18,000,000 tons of coal annually. The average man wastes a lot of wind airing his views. Carthage was founded by the Phoenicians about 850 B. C. A philosophical man when considering his own troubles isn't. Dates grow at the tops of trees 40 to 60 feet from the ground. If there wasn't so much world there might not be so much unrest. The man who is always hunting trouble never has to borrow any. Lukewarmness makes enemies as well as downright opposition. A college education does not make a man great, but it helps him. It's just as easy to be pleasant as otherwise—and it pays better. If nothing else can bring neighbors together, sometimes trouble will.

Who masters his tongue saves his head. The possessor of good luck is a worker. Every rose has its thorn; love has jealousy. He who endures with patience is a conqueror. Silence may be golden, or it may indicate guilt. But few men appreciate revenge until they get it. Genius is mainly an affair of energy. —Matthew Arnold. To know how to wait is the great secret of success. You can't be too careful in choosing your enemies. Even the hardened locomotive has its tender part. The man who carries a gun isn't hunting for work. Sooner or later the finger of scorn comes to the point. Better a close-mouthed friend than a close-fisted enemy. Admitting a mistake enables others to see it more plainly. Sense is another thing of which the common brand is best. Roads to happiness and to misery frequently run parallel. Any woman can marry any man she wants—if he is willing. The opportunity is often lost by deliberating too long. There is no pain so great that time will not soften it. Experience is the name every one gives to his mistakes. Occasionally the taxidermist stuffs himself—at meal time. There is no sufficient recompense for an unjust slander. Being sorry for others is often a mild form of boasting. If time is money you can't accuse a lazy man of being stingy. The successful manicurist has plenty of business on hand. Since the late war 5,280 families have settled on Wisconsin farms. So far this year Superior, Wis., has had more divorces than marriages. Tracks of prehistoric animals have recently been found in Kentucky. Whaling boats used by the Eskimos of Alaska are all American made. A shingle mill in British Columbia cuts 500,000 shingles in ten hours. Throw on the emergency brake when you find yourself talking too much. One can run until he is out of breath to become an innocent bystander. Isn't it a grief that a charming personality often has serious faults? SUGAR INDUSTRY IN FILMS United States Department of Agriculture Shows Process on Motion .Picture Screen. "Raising cane" and then crushing the juice out of it and making it into white granulated sugar is one of the latest subjects to be portrayed on the educational motion picture screen by the United States Department of Agriculture. The new film is titled "Sugar Cane and Cane Sugar." It is one reel long. Cultural processes from replanting preparations to the "laying by" of the cane when it has grown big enough to take care of itself are shown in the early scenes. Harvesting the crop, stripping, cutting and hauling to the sugar factory are depicted. The factory scenes include the various steps in the manufacture and refinement of granulated sugar, from the crushing of the cane between huge corrugated steel crushers to the bagging and barrelling of the finished product. The film was made in Louisiana, where nine-tenths of America's 250,000-ton cane sugar crop is produced. The bureau of chemistry and plant industry co-operated in producing the film. "Sugar Cane and Cane Sugar" will be loaned, free, except for transportation which borrowers will be required to pay both ways. Authorized persons and institutions may purchase prints at the manufacturing cost. Neatly Cured. "Mother, I'm very sick. I can't possibly go to school today," announced James, and his mother put him to bed and sent for the doctor. "What's the matter, my little man?" inquired the doctor when he arrived. The doctor turned to wink at his reflection in the mirror. "H'm! You're pretty bad. Let me see. Today's Saturday. You ought to be well by Monday." "What! Is today Saturday?" exclaimed the invalid. "Oh, I thought it was Friday." Ten minutes later James was better and he was sent to school, for the day was Friday after all. Peace at Any Price. Two women in a train coach argued concerning the window, and at last one of them called the conductor. "If this window is open," she declared. "I shall catch cold and will probably die." "If the window is shut," the other announced. "I shall suffocate." The two glared at each other. The conductor was at a loss, but he welcomed the words of a man who sat near. These were: "First, op n the window. That will kill one. Next shut it. That will kill the other. Then we can have peace." Dead Giveaway Margaret is only seven years old, but sometimes quite naughty. On one occasion her mother, hoping to be particularly impressive, said: "Don't you know that if you keep on doing so many naughty things your children will be naughty, too?" Margaret dimpled and cried triumphantly. "Oh, mother, now you've given yourself away!"—Everybody's Magazine. Call of Duty. "Don't you think sitting up until two o'clock in the morning at a poker table interferes with your regular duties?" "Friend," responded Cactus Joe, "when you've lost 17 stacks in the early evenin' there ain't any duty that seems more urgent than sittin' close up and tryin' to rescue your perishin' fortunes." Miss Phyllis Austin, English novelist, says that her best ideas for stories come to her in the bath. Had not science progressed as far as it has, many modern occurrences would be taken as miracles. WHY YOUNG FOLKS ARE WILD Booth Tarkington, the Novelist, Thinks the Real Fault Rests Upon Parents. "Why are our young folks so wild?" is a question that Booth Tarkington attempts to answer in Collier's. It is a question that parents pretty generally are asking. Tarkington has several suggestions. Young people are kept away from home these days by the automobile, the country club, the movie. They read books which regard reticence as a crime. They have the idea that it is smart to shock people, remarks the Kansas City Star. But the real blame, he thinks, rests with the parents. The elder generation was brought up under a stiff code of morals. "We developed a conscience," Mr. Tarkington says. There has been a breaking away from faith in recent years, with an underdevelopment of conscience. We sometimes have blamed the Puritanism of the past. We have said it was gloomy and repressive. It did have its faults. But it was a great discipline. It developed conscience; a sense of right and wrong; a feeling that conduct mattered. In relaxing the discipline which Puritanism engendered there is danger of going too far; of assuming that because some of the innocent pleasures that used to be repressed are all right, then it is all right to gratify every impulse and whim. The old discipline may have been too severe. But it tended to produce self-controlled men and women who were not at the mercy of their desire for indulgence. Here is something for parents to think about. The young people will not. WIT AND HUMOR WIT AND HUMOR He-I suppose you'd like to be free to marry again. "Rastus, are you a married man?" "Nossah, Boss, ah earns mah own living." If it wasn't for the way the walter keeps you waiting, few of us would take enough time for our meals.

That sounds thrilling, but the thrill comes in when the cook, who is fat and about 48 inches high, turns heels over head over the kettles, banana peels and milk bottles and the matron rushes out to give first aid to the injured, and her feeling of charity is turned instantaneously to one of hectic anger, her eyes spit fire like a dragon, more or less. Of course nobody knows who did the deed. That's mean, did you say? Oh, it's just a detour from the road of monotonous routine, and the inhabitants of this little city call it fun. There is another writ, that no one is to leave thru the folding doors after 10:30 p. m. Why should one disobey that rule when the sensation of escaping a guard by ladder is so great that it is never forgotten. Especially if you steal down slowly, and every step lets out a cry and you hear footsteps and jump from the ladder, alas, to find out that it was a colleague and not the guard. Maybe it's before the class fight and you find a dark place near the seat and watch for two hours and no one shows up and you start for the prison again and decide that a feed would be best before going back. Go to town and break into the only Inn, alias hotel, and the town marshal hears the noise, and—oh! well, things get pretty lively and one member rushes up stairs and arouses the son of the proprietor who is a classmate and all is well. Then some bright fool says, "the guy was sure wise who said, "All's well that ends well; and ain't we got fun?" Everybody laughs, but discovers a minute later that the ladder has been stolen, and everyone climbs the columns of the porch. The cook is awakened, but she is silenced by plastering her mouth with adhesive plaster. Thot she had a coin. Strange to say the moon only attracts the untried instead of the (tide) tied. For an those wonderful moonlight nights—and there are some great ones because this little town affords such an alluring setting—another thrilling trip is taken upon the ladder to a safe haven and some actually spoon while Luna blushes behind her veil of clouds. One whispers upon such an occasion, "Fun is an essential in my life." Another adds, "especially of rules are broken to get it." Chaucer says, "For this you know well, if a man tells a tale after a man, he must rehearse every word or he tells the tales untrue." Sorry to say, I'm telling what was told me without a rehearsal. He also says, "My wit is short," so is mine. Believe all of this you wish. There is some truth, but over none pine. SAMBO A Poet's Bride. "Cheer up, my dear," urged the poet. "I have had a poem accepted by a prominent magazine." "Where is the money?" "They pay on publication." "Do we eat on that plan?" Passionist Poems, Perhaps. Author—May I ask you to read my latest work—it is written with my heart's blood." Editor—Very sensible thing to do these times when ink is so high. A A MISFORTUNE Eel—Why so gloomy? Clam—Because I'm a little neck clam and can't get any collars small enough for me, that's why. Contributed Verse. These college chaps are very slow, They seem to take their ease; For even when they graduate They do so by degree. THE KANSAS,CITY,ADVOCATE It is impossible to destroy courage by plucking it up. Experience that is given away is seldom appreciated. Some men overwork themselves trying to live without work. For the most part man's contentment is due to his ignorance. Hanging is too good for many of the paintings sent to exhibitions. Over 1,000 years ago the Pueblo Indians constructed irrigation ditches. A Bohemian inventor, is said to have produced a glass that is unbreakable. If a man is the real thing he doesn't have to proclaim it from the housetop. Why doesn't a woman resemble a piece of music when she is composed? A successful physician is one who is able to relieve his patients of good fees. Fear is at the bottom of worry. Is there no gland that will exterminate fear? Time is a perpetual motion arrangement for making yesterday's of tomorrow. It is often a hundred times harder for one man to be a mixer than it is for another. Neither adversity nor prosperity ever changes a man; each merely brings out what there is in him. If people would reflect more they would be brighter and if they were brighter they would reflect more. According to census figures the number of farms in Alaska increased 64 per cent between 1910 and 1920. The man who monopolizes the attention of the prettiest girl at the party is both envied and hated by all the other men present. COMFORT FOR BOY BATHERS They Swim in Forbidden Waters and Then Dry Themselves in Hot Air Grating Blast. Those who enjoy bathing at Bailey's beach, Rye beach, Manhattan beach, Coney island and a dozen other places would possibly proclaim that their own favorite was superior to all others and dilate on its qualities and attractions. They would, however, be at a loss to produce evidence of a convenience such as is made use of by the 15 or 16 youngsters who enjoy a "dip" in Madison square. These youngsters, all boys, take their bath fully attired—the possibility of the arrival of an unfriendly cop has to be at all times considered and the means of a hasty retreat provided—and so when they are finished their clothes hang in dripping folds around them, says the New York Sun and Globe. This would be a decided discomfort but the Madison square bathers are well taken care of. They make immediate tracks for a large grating, in the sidewalk at Broadway and Twenty-second street from which emerges a warm drying breeze untainted by cooking or other odors. Over this they stand and in a short while they are completely dried. Forced to Own Bible. The first Bible printed in Scotland was issued complete in 1579. In the same year, by act of parliament, every man, householder, and others—"Worth thirte hundreth merks of yerille rent or abone," and every yeoman and burgess with $2,500 had to provide, under a penalty of $50, "a Bible and psalme bune in vulgare language in their houssls for the better instruction of shame selfils and thair famellis in the knowledge of God." And to see that the provisions of the above act were carried into effect, the following year a searcher was appointed with power to visit the houses of those signified by the act, "and to require the sight of their Psalme Bulkis and Bybils." Birds on Abandoned Farms Naturalists have noticed that the abandoned farms offer great opportunity for the study of bird life, and the birds seem to frequent these localities for some reason. Edmund J. Sawyer of Syracuse, N. Y., who has commented on this fact in articles for various publications, says that while the birds to be found at these places are mostly of the commoner varieties, but for purposes of observation the abandoned farms offer great advantages because of the numbers to be encountered. Within 300 feet of one of these houses he found nests with eggs and young of eleven species. Experimenting. The girl was very rich and the young man was poor. She liked him, that was all, and he knew it. "You are very rich," he remarked. "Yes," she replied, frankly; "I'm worth 75,000 pounds." Mary's Busy Hens Quite the Opposite. "My husband gives me so much a month to spend as I please. Does yours?" "So much a month? No, so little." PUBLICATION NOTICE. In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. Mathilde Ransom.
