MRS. TILLMAN VERY ILL. Mrs. Katherine Tillman, the wife of Rev. G. M. Tillman, pastor of the A. M. E. church, at Leavenworth, has been very ill at Douglass hospital, from a nervous break down and had to be removed to a sanitarium Wednesday. Mrs. Tillman was editor and publisher of the Women's Mite Missionary Journal of the A. M. E. church connection and she was a very brainy woman, splendid writer and is said she got out the best periodical of this department of the connection of publisher that has been its editor. Mrs. Tillman took ill a few weeks ago, while attending a national meeting of the society in Brooklyn. Her many friends hope for a rapid return of health and their sincere sympathy go out to her husband and daughter Dorothy. Card of Thanks. We hereby thank our many friends for their kindness during the illness of our beloved relative and after his death. We thank them for the many floral designs, printed programs, for all resolutions.

"How far the candle throws its beam, so shines a good deed within a naughty world." Mr. Thomas Richards, a respected and worthy citizen, residing at 338 Greely avenue, generously gave about one hundred and eighteen dollars worth of meat during the week of the state convention to feed the delegates and friends. Mr. Richards is a trusted employee of Swift Packing company and through his influence this kindness was done. May his tribe increase, so say we all. IN MEMORIUM. In loving memory of our dear mother and wife, Bertha E. Carroll, who departed this life October 26, 1921. We all know how she suffered, She bid no one a last farewell, She said good-bye to none. Her loving heart had ceased to beat. Before we knew she was gone. Her cheery smile and kindly ways Are pleasant to recall. She had a kind word for each one And died beloved by all. Sadly missed by, M. E. CARROLL AND CHILDREN: SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 BISHOP VERNON AND WIFE BID FRIENDS OF FIRST CHURCH GOOD-BYE. Rt. Rev. W. T. Vernon, presiding bishop of South Africa, and his wife, Mrs. Emily Embry-Vernon, attended the morning service at First A. M. E. Church last Sunday, and talks from both of these God-faring people, reached the hearts of the large congregation. It was a farewell to their friends, they leaving Thursday for their return to their field of labor, in far-off South Africa, more than ten thousand miles away from aged mother and loved ones, but the bishop said "we must go," as they were needed there and that badly. Bishop Vernon and his wife, who has continually stood right by his side, returned home more than a year ago, when he was taken very ill and went through a serious operation and was confined to Wheatly hospital for months. He has practically regained his normal strength and next Tuesday, October 30th, will set sail for the land and people he has learned to love. They were there two years and their work among the natives and community have endeared them to the people, who wait with longing hearts for their return. The bishop leaves an aged mother at Quindaro and a loving sister. Their friends of both races are legion, all over this country. Bishop and his wife, since he regained his health, have lectured as far as possible, all over the country and will go back to the people with a new message of encouragement for their future. The prayers of the church and their friends go with them for a safe voyage and a holding up of their health and a greater success for humanity, in the Master's work. CITY BRIEFS AND IN SOCIETY. Alpha Art Club Meets This Friday at Mrs. Rice's, Nebraska Ave. Mrs. McKenzie of New York, and son, Claude, stopped by and visited Mrs. Henrietta Patterson and Mrs. Gayden. They were en route to San Francisco. Miss Cynthia Henderson is very sick at Douglass Hospital. Mr. A. Grant, near 11th and Oakland, is reported ill. Mr. Ernest Gayden of K. U., spent the week end visiting his parents and relatives. Mrs. Ida Oliver is somewhat ill as we go to press. Miss Mayday Gayden entertained the Olahe Camp Fire Girls at her home this week. Mrs. Thomas of Normal, Ill., and Mrs. Neal of St. Louis, left for their homes Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Victoria Gates, niece of Rev. J. F. Griffin of Wheatly, Ark., is visiting him this week. Mrs. Gates is on her way home from Sioux City, Ia., where she represented her church in a convention of the M. E. Church. Rev. Wm. H. Peck and his wife, Mrs. Peck of St. Louis, who have been visiting Mrs. Peck's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Campbell, and Dr. Peck, his brother, president of Western University and family, at Quindaro, were worshippers at First A. M. E. Church last Sunday. The Rev. Mr. Peck has entered his ninth year as pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church of St. Louis, the second church in membership and financial standing in the Missouri conference. He found, when appointed there some eight years ago, about two hundred members and today it has a membership of over a thousand healthy communicants. A new parsonage has been built, at a cost of $10,000 and now there is a new church edifice under way, which, when completed, will be one of the largest and finest houses of worship west of the Mississippi river. Dr. Peck was unanimously endorsed at the last conference of his state and the Fifth Episcopal District for the highest office in the gift of the church—the bishopric. He is a scholar and churchman of the highest type. Miss Cynthia Henderson, a faithful member of First Baptist church and a loyal friend and worker for Douglass hospital, is confined to bed in Douglass hospital at this writing. She is somewhat improved. Our prayers and sincere desires are for her speedy recovery. Kansas City, Kansas. October 26, 1923 MIDNIGHT MOVING, BUT SLOWLY. HIS LEGION OF FRIENDS REGRET HIS ILLNESS MIDNIGHT MOVING, BUT SLOWLY. HIS LEGION OF FRIENDS REGRET HIS ILLNESS Poro College on the Map in California. The Malones Live in the Hearts of the People. They Are Friends to Humanity El Paso, Tex., Oct. 25.—Will you be glad to know that I am away from the hospital, and still fight the bugs, for I am not well yet? I have had a fight of it, believe me honey, and now I am headed for another part of the world, and from this you will see that I am once more out of California, and now in old Texas, the state of states, and if the K. K. K. people will let me alone I will wend my way to Guthrie and go in the Park Sanitarium, but I am not discussing that now. Just two days ago I was told that I might leave the Lane hospital in San Francisco, after my bills had been paid, and I am glad to say that I was able to get out without being in debt, but I am bent somewhat now. But that will not bother me very much. I will not be able to do much work for a long time. The bugs were about to make a buggy out of me, and then let the worms get fat by eating my body, but this has not taken place yet, and I am now on praying grounds and pleading terms. Now you need not expect to hear from me from a different place every week as before, because I am not permitted to do that much riding. I am just passing through here en route to another part of the state, known as San Antonio, and there I will remain all the week with Rev. S. J. Johnson, and in the bed at that. I must ride awhile and then lay up awhile, trying to get back all I have lost. It cannot be done in a day. But let me step back to California, and say a few things about Los Angeles. Prof. Aaron E. Malone, A.M., and Mrs. Annie M. Malone, A.M., have put Poro on the map in California, and the people are singing their praises. They are truly benefactors of this race of ours. They believe in doing things, and then they seem to live to make others happy. They will live in the hearts of our people, and I join with' the women of this country in saying, "God bless Annie Turnbo-Pope Malone, and we all praise God for her life." These two friends of humanity have spent the summer in California, down on the beach, making good their health. It is getting time for them to return home, and it is closing the summer season. So, Mrs. Malone called together all the Poro agents, all their patrons, chartered trains and carried them down to the beach for a picnic. She paid all the bills, furnished the refreshments, and I mean by that sandwiches, chicken, soda pop, ice cream and cake, fruit, and many other good things, and it was there in abundance, enough for all, and after the thousand who attended had been fed until they wanted no more there was enough to feed others. Los Angeles had never had such a treat. Then a few days later followed the graduating exercises of Poro college, and it was a great event in the history of California. The exercises were held in the First A. M. E. Church, Eighth and Towns streets, and Noah D. Thompson acted as master of ceremonies. I am wondering where I shall begin to tell you about it. I suppose I will tell you the names of the graduates first, and here they are: Mrs. C. K. Randall, 1302 E. 18th street, bench work; Mrs. Lula Collins, 1121 E. Grand street, bench work; Mrs. Mary Gale, 912 East 12th street, bench work and fancy hairdressing; Mrs. Hattie Chamberlin, fancy hairdressing and chiropody; Mrs. Mamie Black, bench work; Mrs. Cornelia Marine, bench work and fancy hairdressing; Mrs. Sarah Aryed, bench work and fancy hairdressing; Mrs. J. L. Freeman, Poro system, manicuring and facial massage; Mrs. Izzy Washington, Poro system, manicuring and facial massage; Mrs. Verda May Reed, Poro system, manicuring and facial massage; Mrs. Ida Shelby, Poro System, manicuring and facial massage. These are all ready now to take their places ADVOCATE at the head in their chosen profession. It was the first graduation of Poro college in Los Angeles and the people turned out in large numbers to witness it, and I was there myself. I was not able to do much walking, so they sent a taxi for me, and I went there in great style. The exercises opened with a selection by the choir of the First A. M. E. Church, and they have some choir, believe me. "Holy, Holy, Holy," was the opening, and they chanted the Lord's prayer. The next selection was "Triumphal March from Damascus," by the choir and then followed the opening remarks by Noah D. Thompson, the newspaper man, and one of the noted young men of the country. He recalled two great events in his life. One was when he was called to take a place at Tuskegee by the late Booker T. Washington, and the other was when he was invited to be associated on the program of Poro college commencement. He spoke of the greatness of the modest woman and her husband. Concluding his remarks he presented the president of Poro college, Aaron E. Malone, who delivered an address. He commenced by saying: "We welcome you most heartily to this our first graduating class of Poro college. It is very fitting that we should have our exercises in this church or some other church or some institution or building dedicated to God. It would seem strange that a commercial institution such as we represent should devote time to prayer, but all that we are and all that we are to be or have accomplished we owe it to God and we should ever praise Him. "We welcome you here because our institution stands for cleanliness of heart, head, body and life. This class which we send out into the world today, we are asking them to take Jesus with them, to live a clean life, to have clean sanitary places. God has chosen us as his stewards, and we are putting forth an effort to serve Him and He would have us serve. Poro college stands for honesty, reliability, for service, and honest service. We are glad to have you hear. We beg of you to give these women an opportunity to serve. We are urging our people to have sanitary and clean places of business. In this way we can serve God as well as ourselves." I then heard a wonderful piano solo by Mrs. Naida McCullough, "Caprice Espagnole," Moskowski. Remarks by Mrs. C. K. Randall and Mrs. V. M. Reed; vocal solo by Mrs. Sadie J. Aryed and this was followed by a paper read by Mrs. Izzy Washington, "Cultivating the Inner Beauty of Woman." "Who Knows," solo by Mrs. J. L. Freeman, and then the class was presented by Mrs. Birdie J. Hawkins, demonstrator of Poro college, St. Louis, Mo. At this point Noah D. Thompson introduced Mrs. Malone, who, after an appropriate address, presented the diplomas. She extended a cordial welcome to the class into the Poro family: She said that Poro stood for the best. "Do not count your dollars," she said, "but count results. Always aim to satisfy your customers, and never allow one to go away displeased with your work. Give to the people what they want and they will find a way to your door. Courteous, polite service well rendered will always make a beaten path to your parlors. Be loyal, and remember at all times that prayer is the royal road to happiness and the only way to serve God. The prayers of our mothers and fathers back in the days of slavery, made it possible for this day of happiness, this day of sunshine in our lives, and when we think of it, it makes us real happy. "Of all the races in the world, we should be the last to get away from God, He 'hath done great things for us, whereof 'we are glad.' In life do not forget chairty. If you keep your hands closed little will get out and (Continued on Page 4) THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER RALLY AT GREATER BETHEL CHURCH. Greater Bethel Church Chicago has planned a great Debt Paying Rally and Cornerstone Laying during the week, March 16-23, 1924. The plan is to secure five hundred persons who will agree to raise One Hundred Dollars ($100) each in six months' time. Then to simplify this we are asking each helper to give fifty cents a day, which in six months' time will make nearly One Hundred ($100) Dollars. Greater Bethel Church, in Chicago is engaged in an epoch making fight for the race and the Church. In no city in America has African Methodism been so sorely tried and tested as in this great Mid-west city, Chicago, the city of "Go." Rebellion, treachery and base ungratitude have sought to do their destructive work. There have been more defections here in Chicago from established denominations than in any other one city I know of. This is the breeding place and hot bed of the dissenter and schismatic. In no other place in our church have we had so much trouble with divisions and splits, with the establishment of new organizations and social service "Churches" as we have had in Chicago. There seems to be an infection in the air in Chicago that makes our men unwilling to be moved from Chicago once they are given a charge here and in some instances they are not willing to be moved from one charge to another in the city. And worse than that they complain that although they are comfortably located this year, yet they are anxious about the year to come and at times are to be found in the ranks of the dissenters—that they are not moved at this time but feel that they may be moved in the future. A striking illustration of this psychological condition is the case of Rev. Harvey. This Brother was in charge of one of our best and most prosperous charges in the city of Chicago. At the last Annual Conference he was anxious for two things: to be returned to his former charge, St. Mary's and to be elected delegate to the General Conference. It cannot be asserted that he intended to leave the church at any rate, no matter what the Annual Conference may have done, because he was anxious for a place as a member of the General Conference and the General Conference does not meet until May, 1924. It is certainly to be concluded that he intended to remain in our church at least until after General Conference, or he would not have desired election to membership in a body to which he did not belong. Hence the falsity of conclusion that he was already determined to leave the Church. That he was not elected was due to his own attitude toward the men rather than anything else. Certainly, if there ever was a fair election it was that of the last election in the Chicago Conference. The Tellers were nominated by Mr. Harvey and were President Gregg of Wilberforce University and Dr. Griffin of the Northwest Illinois Conference—men whose integrity is above suspicion. If he was not elected delegate, it was simply because he did not get enough votes. However, the peculiar psychology of his leaving as was declared by him, was the fear that while he was sent back this year, he might not be returned next year. Men who have always been tractable and loyal seem to be infected with a germ of rebellion when they reach Chicago and on the least provocation they are ready to raise the standard of rebellion. Yet in the midst of all that has come to us as the result of the defection of Cook and Harvey, the Church has shown tremendous and steady strides and I doubt if anywhere in America is the cause of African Methodism growing as it is in Chicago. Coppin Chapel under Rev. Coston has risen with mushroom rapidity and today we have a congregation of over eight hundred; the pastor's support is from two to two hundred and fifty per month. The same is true in regard to the congregation of Allen Chapel, now worshipping in the building of old Bethel. Rev. T. S. Scott, evangelist and preacher, (Continued on Page 4.) Number 11 REVOLUTIONS NEVER SWING BACKWARD It has been said "That revolutions never swing backward," let us try to add another instance to the truth of the saying. By exerting our every effort to make BUSINESS WEEK a glowing success. And the first step that may be well taken in that line, could be in every business man and business woman, and every professional man as well, coming to the open meeting of the Civic league on Tuesday, evening, November 6, to hear the address that will be given by a leading wholesale grocer. This gentleman will dispense words of wisdom, interest and profit, to the Retailers of our group. And we sincerely hope that every one in business will be interested to be present, and to take a strong hold and give his best effort to make BUSINESS WEEK what it ought to be to our group. The idea means much, even all; in the field of Economics and material welfare. No sane man will refuse to patch the holes in his own roof, and continue to expect to remain dry in case of rain. No man can afford to refuse to embrace opportunity, and still expect to reach and reap success, in the same degree that he would did he open his door freely, and invite its entrance. And as it has been with others through all time—so it is, and must needs be with our Group now—Rgiht Now. The consummation of this idea of BUSINESS WEEK will be the means of each one of us, learning a great deal, of that which we do not know. And it is true now, as it was when Solomon said it, "That it was a great thing to get knowledge, but a greater one to get Wisdom and Understanding." Also, that "When we shall have gathered and gotten these we will have gotten POWER." Let's get them, and all of them, and that too, by our own effort. And let's do it, by bringing BUSINESS WEEK to a successful head. We were treated at the last meeting with the very able and instructive address of Commissioner L. H. Chapman. The Drive for membership is still on, we expect many new members. I. F. BRADLEY, ADDITION TO "OLD FOLKS DAY" Will you allow me a little space to add to the write up in last week's paper, about "Old Folks Day?" The article was hastily written and when we saw it in print, we felt at once that Sister Ida Lyons, the untiring president of the Pastor's Aid. Board, deserved SPECIAL mention, for it was through her and her good members that the great work was done. May God include all in His blessing. Mrs. Annabelle Hall, 1000 Walker avenue, who has not been so well for quite a while, is much better and was able to attend her church Sunday. Mrs. M. A. Turner, 1244 Ann avenue, returned home from a visit at Denver, Colorado. PASTOR'S AID BOARD THANKS. The Pastor's Aid Board of the First A. M. E. Church, wishes to thank all who assisted in any way, Sunday, October 14th, "Old Folk's Day." Especially are we grateful to Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Brockman, Messrs. Geo. McClelland, A. J. Bouldin, A. A. Dunlap, A. Watson and H. Cornell for the use of their cars. MRS. IDA LYONS, President. MRS. LULU HORNBEAK, Secretary. HUMOROUS HUMMING PLAYETS First Baptist Church, Halloween night, October 31st.

MESSLEY, Pres. REV. W. A. BOWREN, pastor. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. FLYING CHAFF Woman is the ancestress of the lady. Honesty is the best policy and the most restful. Ice cream never tastes again as it did when you were ten years old. Don't be so sure about pronunciations. The wise are not. In a man's estimation there is nothing too good for his wife—except himself. Some men who won't trust them selves wonder why others won't trust them. Some women are not as fresh as they are painted and some others are more so. It sometimes happens that a man convinces others without convincing himself. Wise is he who knows when not to be patient. Don't forget that a flatterer always has an ax to grind. With old age comes the knowledge of lost opportunities. Even a stingy man opens up when it comes to giving advice. Only a woman is capable of transforming a yawn into a smile. It's hard for most of us to be good when we have a chance not to. Some men blame their wives every time it snows. A tight man and a loose dog are equally dangerous. The peculiarity of a crank is that he always thinks that it is his turn. Some people learn a great deal with trying to teach an old dog new tricks. Instead of trying to convince a woman the wise man proceeds to coax her. In "learning life," it isn't absolutely necessary to get into scrapes. A good fellow is given all the peace-making jobs. Being out of debt is the best thing out. The obese man has no friends in a crowded street car. Of course, it isn't to a man's credit if his credit isn't good. When two women argue the winner is the one who can talk the fastest. It is a woman's duty to set a good example—for man follows after woman. Distance prolongs the life of many friendships. Tears will often win a jury if backed up by sufficient good looks. Many a man who calls himself conservative is nothing but a coward. Other people's self-admiration proves that there is no accounting for tastes. Flattery is the praise we hear bestowed on other people. More men are locked up for safe-keeping than for safe-breaking.

Pastor Bronson preached a beautiful sermon on "How Christian Brethren Should Agree." He illustrated and explained it so fine that many gave vent to the Holy Spirit, and several united with the church. Rev. Jeltz of Omaha, sang beautiful solos and a large offering was taken up. Through prayer, Pastor Bronson talks encouragingly. At night he preached another famous sermon on "Watch," and the visiting singer sang sweetly again. Miss Burke, of Sumner High, made a good talk and secured volunteers to solicit for the proposed new Orphans' Home. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. are doing fine. Dr. Bronson sang a solo at the B. Y. P. U. The sewing circle is leading all the church clubs. They had a fine chicken dinner, Friday. The Daughters of Zion met at the church last Friday night, and elected Mrs. Lulu Thompson, president. The funeral of Deacon Enoch Louis Oliver was largely attended. Printed programs made it more solemn and impressive. The obituary was read by Mrs. J. Thomas; resolutions from the Church and City Deacons' Unions, L. S. Johnson; from Trustees, Mrs. Lewis; eulogy and only original poem, Mrs. M. C. Matthews, called superfine; sermons by Pastor Bronson and Dr. D. A. Holmes, Kansas City, Mo. Dr. Holmes coincided with the eulogy and Pastor Bronson also used some of the poetess' references. Mr. Langston sang a solo, and after all reviewed the remains they went sorrowfully away. Next Sunday October 28, Dr. Boone, founder of our church, will be here from Chicago, and will preach at 11 a. m. and at 8 p. m. Come out, everybody. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH Kansas City, Kansas. Rev.

Olive Baptist met for religious worship Sunday morning and began their services on time. The Sunday School was ably led by our Superintendent, Bro. W. Thomas, after which the deacons and members opened a spiritual prayer service which was soul-stirring and helped to prepare the way for the shepherd to reach the hearts of the people. The pastor's text was St. John 10:27-28-9, "My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me: And I give them eternal life and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father which gave them to me is greater than all and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand." Subject, "Perseverance of the Saints." He placed great stress on the stability of a true Christian and that regeneration comes but once and when his discourse was completed every one felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and one soul became a candidate for baptism and two other additions were made to the church. The pastor preached at 8 p. m. from the text, Psalms 127, "Except the Lord build the house they labour in vain that build it, except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh in vain." Subject, "The Great Architect." He placed great stress on the building of this great universe by the Lord who is the greatest architect known. Much good was gained by his discourse and all felt the presence of the Holy Spirit love. There was one addition to the church. At 5 o'clock our B. Y. P. U. met and had a grand time. Come to our B. Y. P. U. at 5 o'clock every Sunday evening. You will enjoy it. Our Children's Sunshine under the guidance of Sister Mattie Vandike, is doing fine. Give her your little ones and let her train them in the ways of right living. h Sister Jamison is back with us again. We are proud of her return. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Kansas City, Kansas. Rev. W. A.

Corner Fifth and Nebraska. The splendid services on last Sabbath were like the weather, ideal; all day the attendance and spiritual fervor was excellent. Pastor Bowren preached one of the most logical, practical and withal spiritual sermons, we have listened to. Subject, "How-to know God better, increasing in the knowledge of God." Col. 1:17. I want to speak to you my dear hearers about growth in the knowledge of God. The great apparent need of Christians today is interest in spiritual things and one of the reasons of non-interest is not knowing God as they ought. How can we strengthen our grip on spiritual things. I wish to call your attention to three or four ways of increasing in the knowledge of God: (1) Be still and know, Ps. 45-10. We are living in a busy age, an electrical age, an age of commotion, but to know God we must draw aside, be still and quiet learn of Him. Take time to be holy. Speak oft with thy Lord, abide in Him always and feed on His word. Take time to be holy, the world rushes on, spend much time in secret with Jesus alone. Here the minister gave Elijah's experience. (2) Do his will, and you shall know. Here the minister gave Abraham's experience in doing God's will in the offering of his only son. The man with the withered hand, and other striking illustrations. (3) Know by seeing God in nature. (4) God in personal touch and sacrifice. Many rejoiced; there were several accessions to membership. The report of Mrs. Ada Garnett Messley, general chairman of the entertaining of the convention, was made. The report was the best of its kind ever made. Sister Messley turned over to the church, clear of all expense, two hundred dollars, and thanked everyone for the co-operation and assistance given her in her work of entertaining and caring for the convention. A standing vote of thanks was given her. She proved in her excellent management of affairs to be a capable, efficient, withal affable christian woman and may God bless all who labored with her. B. Y.

The prosperity of Greater Kansas Cily, like any othe: city surrounded oy an agricultcral territory, depends gn the prosperity of the farmers. When the farmers are prosperous and save plenty of money to spend for che luxuries as well as the necessities, Kansas City factories and merchants are also doing a good business clong with"the merchants of all the smaller ‘towns. When the farmers are ha ing hard times the same condition pre- rails in Greater Kansas City as well as in all the towns in the territory, The entire state of Kansas and West- ern Missouri-compose the major part of the trade territory of Greater Kan- sas City. Wheat Is 75% of Kansas Crops. Kansas has long been a‘ leader in ‘the production £ wheat. Gen-rally speaking, the wheat farmers have made money. It has always been a gamble to grow wheat, but the game has been sufficiently profit- able and fascinating to hold the Kan- zas farmer and keep him from turning to a more diversified farming pro- gram. The Kansas landlord, in many cases, has insisted that his tenants raise only wheat. For the last few “years, and this year especially, the wheat crop has been a losing propo- aitien, The Curtis Publishing Comrany says that the wheat crop represents only 6 per cent of the total income to the farmers of the United States, and that aside from wheat the farm- ers of the United States are far bet. ter off this year than last. The Kan- sas wheat crop usually represents 75 per cent of the tot=l crop income to the Kansas farmers; therefore, while the poor returns on wheat has not crippled the farmers of the entire United States, still it has been a hard blow to the Kansas farmers and all of the towns in Kansas as well as Greater Kansas City. It is theref not surprising that bankers and bust ness mon in Kansas and Kansas City should be deeply interested in seeing the Kansas farmers turn from ~a much wheat to diversified farming, which includes many crops instead of one, more gucd dairy cows, more lay- ing hens, thrifty pigs and many other means of converting the farmer's la bor and his crops into ready cash, with a payday every day instead of once a year as with wheat. Western Missouri is in our trade territory and is also ineneed of more diversified crops, as the major part of the returns from the farms are from corn and wheat and beef cattle and hogs. The Missourl farmers as wel: a I a eccccecee as the Kansas farmers need to adopt a Program similar to the Wisconsin farmers in order fo have larger and more dependable returns from their farms, What Is “Diversified Farming?” Some may ask, “What do you mean by Diversified agriculture?” We mean a farming program whereby the crops are rotated in order ty re- build the soil and thus secure larger yields per acre. It means instead of two crops, as wheat aud corn, to hv “2 ten or fifteen crops that bring in good cash returns. It means convert- ing the farm crops into cash by feed- ing them to live stock, as dairy cows, pigs and chickens. It means a pro- gram by which the farmer and his family do most of their work with- out so much cash being paid out for harvest hands and threshers and other work requiring so much extra help. It means cash crops that bring in large returns per acre. More at- tention to silo and less to whe t Bins; making the care of a good herd of dairy cows a part of the day's work instead of a chore; giving time and care to a good flock of heavy laying hens in place of feeding a lot of non- layers without knowing whether they are layers or loafers. The farmers of Wisconsin have been following a program of diversi- fied agriculture for thirty-five years, and as a result that state today is the most prospero~s agricultural state in the Union. The fields of Wisconsin are producing about double the yield of grain and bay and other crops per- acre as the Kansas fields and sbout 50 per cent more than Missouri. The soil and climate of Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri is far better than that of Wisconsin. We hrve long summers and mild winters, while Wisconsin has Jong, cold winters and short cropping seasons. But the Wis- consin farmer has learned how to win against these odds, Missouri vs. Wisconsin. To illustrate further what we mean by Diversified Farming, a program of many crops and methods of making money on the farm, I will give you a concrete illustration. Ray County, Missouri, is located fifty miles north- east of Kansas City. Richmond is the county seat. Excelsfor Springs ison the line between Clay and Ray counties, Ray ,county extends from the Missouri river north, which gives it all of the fertile bottom lands long the river on the north side for thirty miles. It is one of the fifteen best counties in Missouri. It is close to eood markets, and if farmed like the farms of ‘Wisconsin, it would produce twice as much per acre as it does now. You ask, how could such a thing be done. Here is a comparison between Ray County, Missouri, and Jefferson County, Wisconsin, one of twenty teading dairy counties of that state: Thirty-five years ago the farmers of Wisconvin were raising wheat, corn. barley and rye. They had no more cows than the Missouri farmer and they did not know whether their cows were boarders or profit makers. ‘They discovered that they were mak- ing a big mistake by impoverishing their soil and depending wholly on two or three grain crops. Then they turned to dairy cows and crop rota- tion and diversification. Here are some comparisons between these two counties: Value of animals on hand January 1, 1922, and value of all crops raised in year 1921: ~ Double “the Income Per Petson. it gives to eyery man, woman and child ‘on the ‘farms of Ray County $405.42 each per year and to the rural Population of Jefferson County, Wis- consin, $833.15 each per year. It also gives a gross income per acre of im- proved lands in Ray County, Missouri, of $19.39, whilé in Jefferson County, Wisconsin, it gives a gross income per acre of $61.72 per year. ~~ During the past ten years the av- erage corn crop in Jefferson County, Wisconsin, hag excelled the corn yield per acre in Ray County, Missouri, by Ii bushels; wheat by 5 bushe: - oats by 13.5 bushels; alfalfa $33,56 per acre; clover and timothy $9.21 per acre more. Jefferson County, Wis- consin, cows produce 500 gallons of milk per year, while Ray County, Mis- souri, cows only produce 309 gallons. Milk produced in Ray County, Mis- souri, in 1921 was $900,125, while in Jefferson County, Wisconsin, it was worth $4,221,364, Milk vs, Other Crops. e The milk crop in Jefferson County, ‘Wisconsin, brought the farmers as ‘much'as the combined value of all of the cattle, horses, mules, hogs and sheep owned by the Ray County, Mis- sourl, farmers January 1, 1922, and the total value of thelr wheat, corn, alfalfa, clover and timothy, oats arid rotatoes for the year 1921. The Ray County farmers do not like to milk cows ner care for poultry. They Jook upon these matters as chores chiefly to be done by the women and children, If the farmers would give as much time to the cows and hens ag they deserve, the income to the average farmer would be increarcd and made vastly more dependable. Ray County, Missouri, has no hard reads. Jefferson County, Wisconsin, has over 400 miles of gravel and paved roads, The Jefferson County, Wisconsin, farms are smaller than in Ray County. In Ray County they av- erage 104 acres of improved lands, while in Jefferson County, Wisconsin, it is\67 acres. While Ray County, Missourf, has 46,000 improved acres more than Jefferson County, still there are 3,500 more people living on the farms of Jefferson County than there are in Ray County, Missouri. Advantage In Diversification. To sum up the results of diversified agriculture as demonstrated in Jetfer- son County, Wisconsin, as against the system in Ray County, Missouri, the advantages are as follows: More peo: ple on the farms, smaller farms. more income per person, larger income rer acre of land, more milk per cow, more miles of good roads, gross production on the farms of Jef ferson County $13,464,573 as against $5,120,498 in Ray County. An advan tage or increased buying power to the diversified farmers of $8,344,075 pet year. ‘A comparison of the gross value of all crops, Hve stock and agricultural products produced on the farms in the seventy-one counties in the 100 mfle radius of Greater Kansas City it 1921 with those produced in the state of Wisconsin shows that if our farms were producing like those of Wiscon sin the increased value of all farn products here would be $592,000,000. If this wonderful increased produc tion could be reached in the nex twenty years ana each year woul: show an average improvement i wofd mean an average increase it grogs production of all farm product: of over £29,000.000 per year. You can very properly ask, “D¢ the farmers of Kansas and Missour take Kindly to the suggestion tha J they follow more nearly the progran of the Wisconsin farmer?” { will sa} that they do. This program has beer presented before meetings of farmer and business men in some thirty-fiv counties during the past year an without an exception it has been er corsed. Some communities are turn ing to it faster than others, but 2} are getting more and more interester 57% of Profits Depend on Buying Power, A representative of one of the larg est and most reliable commercial ot ganizations of New York, who keep tab on business ‘conditions and th: causes and effects of trade, made th: statement before one of the civic club of Kansas City a few days ago: “Tha 57 per cent of the profits of ever: business is due to the buying powe of the people in its trade territory while 43% comes from the efficienc; of the organization and popularity o the product.” In, other words, 57 pe cent of the profits of every busines man in Kansas and Missouri depend: largely on the buying power of th Own Your Own Home-or Property.

Remember the orphans and the old people and God will bless you. I congratulate you, upon having pushed your studies to the point that you are now ready to step out into active work. It is with pleasure that I present each of you with your diploma." "Viking Song" by Coleridge Taylor was sung by the choir, and the principal address of the evening was delivered by Mrs. C. A. Bass, editor of the California Eagle. It was scholarly and practical. After this, Mr. and Mrs. Homer Dean toed me down to Santa Monica Beach where I spent the night, and the next day they toed me around, showing me some of the sights, feeling that it would add to my health. I want to express to Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Cooper my sincere thanks for courtesies extended me while I was in the city, and the interest they manifested in me when I was in the hospital. They were indeed kind. Now I am here. I will not tell you about the ride. I have written enough, and must stop to go to bed. I am to take plenty of rest. Bishop W. D. Johnson is holding conference here, but is on the eve of closing. I will not be able to tell you anything about it in this letter. J. O. MIDNIGHT. RALLY AT GREATER BETHEL CHURCH (Continued from Page 1.) has gathered in five hundred within the last eight months. We are to have a new church in Hyde Park. With the opposition we have, two things are absolutely necessary. First, Christian vigilance that we do not loose our hold nor be forced to surrender to the opposing forces, and second, We need more of doctrinal preaching, more polemics, more of the history, purpose and plan of our great church. We must stop any apologetic method, word or act. We have a history and a heritage. We have a mission to the darker races and to the white race as well. We need to be proud of it and assert it. Church loyalty is like political loyalty, it must be cultivated. Men do not become loyal tocountry or church by intuition, but because of their relationship to it, their knowledge of its purpose, power and place. Because we are struggling here against tremendous odds and because we hear and feel a call to serve God and our fellow men such as we have never known before, we are putting forward every effort to push the battle to the gate. The magnitude and character of our work at this Church, to which I have been assigned for another year, doubtless this city, also, offers the greatest problem and greatest opportunity in dealing with our people that can be found anywhere in the fold of the Church. We are carrying forward cartain Institutional features in connection with the Church, namely: Tailoring, Printing, Music, Athletic, Employment, Millinery and Dressmaking department, Clinic for Women and Children and Chiropody Clinic. Our church work, strictly speaking, must be carried forward at the same time. As you can well imagine, it takes an immense amount of money to run this church. In the winter time our overhead is eleven hundred ( $1,100.00) dollars per month. Our present indebtdness is $58,000.00, provided the sale is consumated of the old church to a new congregation for $45,000.00. We are holding a big Rally in the month of March, 1924, and are striving to secure five hundred persons who will raise us one hundred ($100.00) dollars each by that time. To assist us in raising the money to advance our work, we are sending a Company of young men known as "Bethel's Big Six" to sing in some of our churches in Ohio, Pnnslyvania, New York and other different sections of the East. Prof. James A. Mundy is the leader of this troupe. They will leave this city December 4, 1923. They are seeking to raise three thousand dollars to cancel immediate pressing debts. None of these young men is receiving a stated salary. The Church is to give them a concert befare they go, and a reception and banquet when they return. They will travel in my seven-passenger Studebaker Sedan, to save railroad fare. I shall go with them, at least part of the way. I am very anxious that we make the best possible terms with the churches, where they will secure engagements to sing. I would be glad if it is possible; to locate them among the members of our churches, as they will stay but twenty-four to thirty-six hours at the longest in any place, except, possibly, in the city of Philadelphia, Bethels Big Six is a male sextette of selected singers THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE from the famous Bethel church choir and is ready to fill engagements anywhere at any time. Burglaries Are Increasing The losses paid by burglarance companies grew in the We are asking every bishop, general officer and church lover in our connection to help us in this struggle. When the strain o four indebtednss is gone, we shall be able to do with greater success, freedom and tangible results, the institutional work of the church hampered as we are with the burden of obligations that are upon us. I call upon the church to help us. Thus far we have not received from any department of the church the gift of a silver dollar because we have tried to carry the load without aid from the financial or missionary department. We are grateful to Bishop Coppin for the loan of five thousand dollars and to Bishop Carey for a loan of six hundred dollars, the first money that was, ever paid on the building; to Dr. John R. Hawkins for securing us the loan of two thousand five hundred dollars and also Rev. B. U. Taylor and two of his members for the loan of two thousand dollars, but we must be helped at this time. If any of our Brethren, North, East, South or West, will give these young men, splendidly talented, and devoted to the work, opportunity to serve Bethel and our beloved Zion as well, write to me at Chicago. We hope to be able to pay the church practically out of debt by the time we lay the cornerstone in March 1924, and dedicate it free of debt before the General Conference in May. WEAR PATH TO PAY WINDOW Floor Leading to Disbursing Office of House of Representatives Replaced With Cement. The marble floor leading to the disbursing office of the house of representatives has been worn away by countless feet and is being replaced by heavy cement. That fact points to one of the chief drains on the treasury and gives a line on the heavy payroll of the house. Besides the 553 members of the house who get their salary checks there each member is entitled to a secretary and a clerk paid by Uncle Sam. By the time the capitol police are lined up and the large number of political appointees there is a small army in front of the windows. "No wonder the floors are worn out," said a former guilde, but he may be prejudiced. He said even heavy carpets which covered the space about the disbursing offices could not protect the floor from the mob. The floors have been given no rest, not even in congressional recesses, as the same old crowd lines up twice a month just the same.—New York Herald. OLD "FOUR HUNDRED" DEAD Best American Society Nowadays Models Itself After the Court of St. James. The fiction of a four hundred leading linedighted Americans has been dead a long time—longer than the aged patrons of Ward McAllister's Newport plenics at $10 per guest care to remember. The best American society nowadays models itself after the court of St. James. In London beauty, brains and breeding can obtain entrance anywhere. Even In America those familiar terms "exclusive," "well born," "smart set" have been pitched out of the snob dictionary. Only very dull nobodies posing as somebodies lisp, "Who is she?" "Who are they?" Queen Victoria may have asked the questions by divine right, but it is recorded that she was cajoled into forgetting them —sometimes—Harper's Magazine. 16,500,000 Books Printed. Basing conclusions on what is considered reliable data, an English librarian estimates that since the invention of printing in Europe in the Fifteenth century the output of the world's book presses has amounted to about 16,500,000 titles, of which some 4,400,000 have been printed since 1900. The librarian believes that perhaps 20,000 of all the books printed still possess value.—Scientific American. Hard to Please. Mrs. Beanpole was giggling to herself as she read the paper. "Can't you stop that giggling?" demanded Mr. Beanpole. "How can I get my accounts audited?" She preserved a hurt silence. "There you go," snarled Mr. Beanpole. "Smile, consarn it."—Loulsville Courter-Journal. Wood choppers have disappeared, and in all the big wood centers of eastern Connecticut. Where thousands of cords should be piling up, not a single tree is being felled. Prophecies are made that wood will go up to $20 a cord, if not higher, by early winter. —Indianapolis News. "Emphatically," answered the haughty girl. "Then there's no use my proposing." "Oh, but you're not quite the best man in the world, are you?"—Washington Star. Burglaries Are Increasing. The losses paid by burglar insurance companies grew in the United States from $1,686,195 in 1916 to $5,670,700 in 1919 and to $10,189,833 in 1920—an increase of 543 per cent in five years. In 1915 New York had approximately eight times as many burglaries as London and nearly twice the number of burglaries reported in all of England and Wales. In 1916 Chicago had 532 more burglaries than London and in 1919 2,146 more. Thrifty After All. Mr. Jones—"What conclusion have you reached, Mrs. D Vorce Saye, regarding the French imbrogillo?"
