FIRST ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED TUESDAY NIGHT FIRST ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED TUESDAY NIGHT Kansas City, Kansas, League of Uniform Ranks. Reception and Banquet Feature. The Kansas City, Kansas, League of Uniform Ranks celebrated their first anniversary Tuesday night, at Knights of Tabor Hall, Everett avenue and Ninth street. This organization was founded by W. R. Johnson one year ago and its purpose was to bring the uniform companies of the city closer together in a social way, as well as to putting over large things financially. The first year has shown conclusively that both of these ideas have been successful, according to their annual report Tuesday night. The league is planning to put on in the early spring some big affairs that will add much to each company's treasury. Thos. Kennedy, Brigadier General of Kansas Jurisdiction of the Uniform Ranks of Knights of Pythias, was its first president, but later in the year resigned and W. R. Johnson of the Patriarche was elected and is still at its head and has led it to victory. Mrs. Lena Downs, captain of the Palestine Guards, is secretary and M. D. Dedmon, treasurer. Companies, members of the organization, are: Patriarche, of the Odd Fellows; Troop A, K. P.; Palestine Guards; ladies' drill team U. B. F.; Sunflower drill team, K. of Ps.; Universal drill team from York Rite Masons, and First Regiment band of K.'of Ps. General Kennedy was present and made an inspiring address on the success of the organization and its worth, socially and financially. The president and others also gave expression of the satisfaction of the first year's results. At the close all partook of a big spread that had been prepared by the ladies. Guests present were Capt. Joe Parant, Lieuts. Johnson and Carson of the U. B. Fs. of Missouri. The meeting closed to meet at the same place the third Wednesday evening in February. MINISTERIAL·ALLIANCE. The Ministerial Alliance of the Kansas City, Kansas, Methodist churches met Tuesday at First A. M. E. church. A goodly number were present and many phases of the church was discussed. Presiding Elder W. T., Osborne of this district was present and gave some inspiring and helpful remarks. Rev. J. S. Payne of Allen chapel, Quindaro, is the president and Rev. J. W. Watts, St. Luke, is the secretary. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 WOODMEN HOLD MEETING. Major General Jones Here. The American Woodmen, State Supervisor Jenkins in charge, held a public meeting Tuesday night, January 8th, at Knights of Tabro Hall, corner of Everett and Ninth street, the occasion being in honor of their commander of the Uniform Rank, Major General Jones of Texas. A fine program was rendered, General Jones principal speaker. Refreshments were served free to all present, while an orchestra entertained the audience. OLD TIME WINTER IN KANSAS. Kansas is having an old time winter, with the thermometer registering, at times, as low as 15 and 20 degrees below zero. All of Kansas has a heavy blanket of snow, which has been here three weeks and every day or so a new supply is brought to us. The kiddies are having what they term a great feast costing and the merchants for the first time in years have also had a feast in sleddom. While the weather has been cold and many out of work, but few reports have been made as to the suffering on account of the severe winter weather.

N. U.) CIVIC LEAGUE ON THEIR METAL; SPIRITED DISCUSSIONS PREVAIL A most excellent meeting of the League was held Tuesday evening, the 15th. Much important business was transacted, and decisive action taken in regard to certain increases to be made in the city payroll. It seems now almost certain that certain additions, substantial and permaent in character, are to be made, and quite a deal will be added to the amount which our group will draw monthly. Committees were appointed to cooperate with the proper authorities, in regard to men and measures in the premises. It is only by such action as was taken at the meeting that we may hope to secure our proper proportion of patronage, and thereby have come to us some reasonably fair portion of the taxes we pay for the maintenance of city government. It was also shown that a great deal more is possible to be accomplished than has been, or even what we are now asking to be done. Now that something seemed to be in the offing, much interest seemed to be manifested, and the discussions were spirited and lively. A large attendance is expected at the regular meeting February 5th, at which these matters along with others will be further discussed and advanced. Among which will be that of the Community house project, which we feel must be brought to an actual realization. Some abuses, which come under the head of welfare, were mentioned and discussed and a committee appointed to work with the welfare committee, in looking into and reporting upon the same.

Church for 1924. Great preparations are being made for the same. It will be the greatest general conference ever held. You have been honored by your conference by election as alternate. You will help to make the laws and shape the policy and direct the destiny of this great church. It is an honor of which any man might be justly proud. To preserve the records of the men who make up this conference, I have decided to publish a book entitled "Who's Who in the General Conference of 1924." I want this to contain a sketch of each delegate and each alternate, each bishop, general officer and college president. The book will be presented the men who make up the guiding force of the church, and there will be an appendix of the leading missionary women and wives of our delegates. In 1912 I published "Who's Who in the General Conference of 1912." Because I began late, many were left out, especially lay delegates and alternates. But I am beginning on time this year, and I want EVERY DELEGATE AND ALTERNATE. I particularly want a good representation of the laity, because they represent so many different fields of activity and show up really what our great church is. There are physicians, dentists, lawyers, business men, farmers, mechanics, men high up in fraternal circles, and holding responsible positions in other fields. This will be the RECORD of the men who "served in '24," and in years to come, you and hundreds of others will look back with pride upon this record. I want a sketch of your career of 250 or 300 words and a single column cut of yourself. The charge will be $7.50 for sketch. If you furnish your own cut, it will be only $.500. This also includes a free copy of the book "Who's Who in the General Conference of 1924." I am writing you early so that I can make a copy of your sketch and send it to you for O.K. The book will go into thousands of African Methodist homes. It will be the most complete historical record. Besides giving your own sketch, you will have the sketches of your brethren, which will be an invaluable thing, growing more valuable as the years go by. I am sending you a blank for reservation of space. Please fill it out at once and send it back to me. I expect to be proud of this book. Wishing you great success, I am, Your brother in Christ Your brother in Christ, R. R. WRIGHT, JR., RRW:BC Compiler. Mrs. Cordelia Earley of Rosedale was a pleasant caller at the Advocote office this week. Mrs. Earley renewed her subscription for 1924 for which we appreciated. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER YATES BRANCH, Y. W. C. A. The committee of management of the Yates Branch was very happily surprised on the 9th when the members of the board of directors of the Central Association came down and brought quite a number of useful articles for the house, including pillow slips, towels, cooking utensils, etc. There were ten members of the board present and quite as many from the committee of the branch. An hour was spent in an informal way, exchanging plans and ideas; thus both groups of women were helped and much encouraged. We have room for five girls. Any girl wishing to make her home with us may see either the secretary or matron at 337 Washington boulevard. The Branch would appreciate very much the gift of a clock, as it stands in great need of one. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank our friends here who sent the beautiful floral offering to the funeral of our dear brother, William Vaughan, who was buried at his home, Louisiana, Mo. Mrs. Hattie Gamble, 438 Washington boulevard; Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, sisters. POOL HALL KILLING Charles Colman Fataly Shoots Lee Woods. Tuesday evening at the Franklin pool hall, in the basement of the building at Oakland avenue and Tenth street, Charles Colman of Washington boulevard, shot Lee Woods, of 924 Nebraska avenue, through one of his lungs, and died Wednesday morning at St. Margaret's hospital. Colman gave himself up Tuesday night and Wednesday morning was bound over in police court for one week and his bond was fixed at $10,000 by Judge Roberts. It is said Woods had been sick for three years and had not been able to work in that length of time. ADVOCATE RENEWALS.

SEEKS WARMER CLIME; FRIENDS GLAD TO SEE HIM Atlanta, Georgia, Jan. 17.—Here I am with my pen in hand and ink and paper on the table and seated in a chair with arms to it to write you a few lines to let you know that I am here and if I were not here I would be at some other place, and believe me, honey, I struck some real winter weather up yonder in Virginia, and I got away as fast as the iron horse would pull me away, and here I am way down here in Georgia where it is not as cold as up in Virginia. I believe Virginia must be up north or some other cold clime. I am sure you will agree with me that I have been to just a few places and have seen a few people since I wrote to you last and it may be that I will see a few more before I write to you another letter, for this is the most goingest age I have ever seen, until I just have no other place to go, but just get ripe for the kingdom of God. It is near at hand, and you should be ready for and get ready with God right now. When I wrote you the other letter I was in Virginia, and since that time I have been to Washington, D. C., but did not get to see the President, although I went there. He is not a man you can see walking on the streets at will, but is an exclusive man. It is strange how hard a time a prominent man has in this world. If you are a man of money, a man with big position, people who ought to help such a man to live are often people who would seek to take their lives. The President of the United States, when he is serving, must have men to follow him everywhere he goes, men you call detectives, bodyguards, men to keep others from taking his life, and yet now and then some fellow will slip in and get in his dirty work. Why this should be I do not understand. It is true just the same. I got rid of the dust from the Gloucester County and the Gloucester Court House, and Hon. T. C. Walker rode down a piece with me in an automobile car carriage and bade me goodbye, and I made it to Richmond, going direct to the office of Levi C. Brown, of the National Insurance Company of Washington, D. C., and he was delighted to see me, he declared, and soon walked in Rev. Lucian H. Miller, formerly of Helena, Ark., and he shook hands and made me welcome also, and declared that I would have to spend the night at his home, while Mr. Brown invited me to stay with him. But it was eventually decided that I could remain with the Miller family. We went home at night and were chatting, when in the room where I was to sleep there was something like fire, but when we opende the door, lo and behold, they were making it a Methodist room, for the water was just pouring down. All water was shut off, because the snap of cold had caused the pipes to burst open and spill the water, thereby flooding the room sufficiently for me to make a Baptist baptizing if I so desired. I then had to go to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Levi C. Brown and spend the night, leaving bright and early the next morning for Washington. Rev. Miller accompanied me to Washington, so when we stepped off of the iron carriage horse, we found Dr. W. H. Jernagin, president of the National Race Congress, and one of the busiest men in the race, awai,ting our arrival, and he soon had us in his automobile car carriage headed for his home. He was all full of smiles, for he said he had spent many hours on his knees praying for me, that I would remain down here in this world of sorrow a little longer, and that the Lord would not tome me to heaven from San Francisco, the Golden Gate. I had nothing to say about this, for this is the Lord's business, and I am only a creature, so to speak. The Race Congress is doing a big work in Washington—in fact all over this country, and I am real proud of what has been accomplished by Dr. W. H. Jernagin, who has been able to get in direct touch with the President of the United States and (Continued on Page 4.)

Odd Marriage Customs. of ‘Russia and Egypt A queer marriege~ custom exists among’ the Circassians of the Cau: casus mountain district of southern Russia. At the time of his daughter's betrothal the father pays only half of her dowry to his son-in-law. The other half {s not due until the birth of the first child. Then the woman Is given her long veil to signify that her dowry has been pald in full. : It ts not until after the wefding ceremony that the Egyptian sees the face of the woman he marries, Sbe is always heavily velled and seldom ap- pears outside her home. Many women make a profession of matchmaking, and often a man entrusts his choice of a wife to one of these, who conduct | matrimonial negotiations for a price. | _ On the day before her marriage the Egyptian girl goes to her bath. under /@ canopy drawn by four men. “After this, the bride and groom give 4 din | ner to thelr friends. When the ‘feast Is over a quantity of henna paste I: spread over the bride's.hands, and the guests “make her contributions by sticking coins Into the paste, until be hands are covered. : Dege Remember Tonee. ‘ Can dogs pick up a foreign: lan- guage and still! remember that of the land of thelr birth?

The splendid audience which greet- ed Pastor Bowren 11 a, m. was re- paid for their coming through the cold by hearing a wonderful dis. course from the subject “The Religior of the Extra Mile.” Text Matt 5:41. And whosoever shall compel thee tc go a mile, go with him twain. The minister treated his subject from four divisions (1) obligation. Show. ing obligation to be a condition of all moral life. None too high, non too low, or insignificant to be ex- cluded from its jurisdiction, and tc equal the demands of obligation one must do his best now, and every day as opportunity gone is lost eve: and the future has its own obliga- tions.

Olive Baptist church met in religious worship Sunday in spite of the in- clemency of the weather. The Sun- day School was fairly attended by a faithful few who never miss. The morning services were fairly attend- ed and after a spiritual prayer ser- vice the pastor took his text, St. Luke 20, 2, 8; “And spake unto him saying ‘Tell us by what authority does thou these things.’ or who is he that gave thee this authority.” Subject, “An Unquestionable Char- acter.” He made great stress on the power existence and authority of Jehovah (or Jesus Christ) being be- yond questionaires of curiosity seek- ers. No one needs to know why and how God does his work today, but believe it, which is sufficient. By his discourse he taught a great les- son whch benefitted all. The Holy Spirit blessed this meeting. The B, Y. P. U. met at 5 o'clock and had a good session. Our presi dent, Sister Fanny Hopkins, is put ting forth every effort to make ow B. ¥. P. U. second to none. So let us help her carry it to the desired goal. The night services were good, thi pastor’s text, Heb. 11, 1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen.” Sub. ject, “The Power and Influence o} Faith.” All are welcome to Mt.

Health is the first requisite for a life ; of usefulness and happiness. The mind is affected by the body, | and a soul lodged in a diseased and suffering frame cannot achieve . the highest usefulness. We all know that the human race loves to . ; cling to a luxury, especially when there is no perceptible harm, | but after the danger presents itself, how, like a child, does the ; sufferer grasp for prompt relief with hopes of a cure—this is why | we now offer our Tobacco Antidote to liberate the slaves of the ; Tobacco Habit. The mind is affected so that active thoughts are : Jess active; the eyes are blurred and the sight impaired through | the narcotic and over-stimulation, causing paralysis, not only of | the optic nerves, but in many cases portions of the body; the ; digestive organs are taxed to the extreme, and the nervous system | in general weakened to a great degree. STOP THE USE OF TOBACCO and you will have no more Dyspepsia, Sick Headaches, Sleepless | nights, loss of Appetite, Constitpation, Bad Taste in the Mouth, - Heartache, Paralysis, Loss of Memory and Motion, and many other ‘ reasons why the Use of tobacco to excess is the cause of many | wrecked individuals. UPLIFT, or Moseley’s Antidote for the To- | bacco Habit, removes all these forms in less than twenty-one days. | Worth Many Dollars to YOU. ‘ “No more heart and liver trouble and stomach disorders. Moseley’s Antidote for Tobacco is all right. I most heartily | endorse it. Used tobacco 30 years.” CONTRACTOR. ' Price by Mail anywhere per box, $1.50.

Piniregota Ave. | i Seansas Clty, Hans Strange Pets Owned by Sailors on Warships The proverbial sailor Is still some- times depicted ag returning from for- eign parts with a fine green parrot whose vocabulary {s largely bullt up of profanity. ‘The bulldogs of “Charlie B,” as the late Admiral Lord Beresford was called by bis men, are, of course, famous. Each ship of his squadron had a mag: nificent specimen of this breed, each one of which was a recognized member of the ship’s company. But parrots and bulldogs are only typical of the more ordinary pets. The sailor’s tastes Me also in other direc- tions, and his Innate love of animals Is displayed by the selection of the strangest pets, Charlie the Ibex—a species of goat with very large horns—occupted an,{m- portant position In a certain light cruiser. He roamed the ship at his own sweet will. Diet? Paper, spun: yarn, and eigarette-ends mostly. All was grist to the wonderful mill inside him, | Micha—a baby bear from Batum— arrived on board In a very small bas ket. He grew apace, however, and soon nothing was safe from his sharp little claws, Cushions, sofas and cur tains only excited his zeal for destruc: tion He fed on tinned milk, tinned Jam, and occasionally raided the cook's galley In search of plum-duff. But perhaps the strangest pet of al was a Hzard which survived the Battl of Jutland fn one of his majesty’s su perdreadnaughts—surely the only liz ard known to have been through 4 naval action. Synthetic Sugar Made by Australian Scientist An Australian scientist announces that in his laboratory he has been able to produce a synthetic sugar which differs in no way from the produzt of the cane, Experts, according to the re- port, have been tmable to distinguish between the artificial product and the genuine grown variety. The actual process of manufacture {s at present a carefally guarded secret. The principal difficulty to be overcome was the producing, in the laboratory and by chemical means, the condensa- tion of certain elements which Is ef. fected by sunlight during the growth of the cane in the field. Careful exper!- mentation has solved the problem, says the inventor of the process, reproducing perfectly the actual conditions of growth. = Knock or Boost? Swinhem had invented a new hair restorer and had sent a large number of sample bottles out to various well- known people In the hope of securing some testimontals for advertising pur, poses, “T don't know whether to publish this testimontal or-not,” he satd to a friend who was calling on him as he was opening the letters. “What does {t say?* inguired the other, “Well, {t says,” said the proud In- ventor, “before I used your hair re- storer I had only three bald patches, now I hate only one’” Not Dangerous An Englishman was paying his first visit to Scotland. He arrived at a small town and began to question the Dorter. “I suppose you have a provost bere?” “Aye,” said the porter. “And does he have insignia like our mayors?” “Have what?” “Insignia—well,- for tnstance, does be have a chain?” “A chain?” said the astonished por- ter. “Na, na. He gangs loose; but dinna be feared, he’s quite harmless.” The Great Defeated Returning from Washington, the lame duck wandered around town for several days. Meeting him in front of the post office, an old friend slapped him on the back and said: “Well, I did my share, John; I voted for you.” The lame duck thanked him feebly and responded: “I'm at a loss to un- derstand how I failed of election.” “Why so?” “I can't find anybody who didn't vote for me.” Hie Kind Act. ‘The Sunday school teacher was tell- Ing her class that they ought to do at least one act. each week to make some one else happy: ‘Turning to one boy, she sald, “Have you made anyone happy this week, Robbie?” “Yes, miss,” the boy replied. “I went to see my aunt, and she was happy when I left.” He Wouldn't Make It. An frritable old sportsman was aroused from his bed at three o'clock in the morning by the insistent ring- Ing of his doorbell, On answering he found Rastus standing at the door. “What do you mean by waking me ‘up at this hour?” “Ish yoh Mr, Smithers?” “Yes, yes, What of it?” “Ish you the gent what advertised for a partner to go lion huntin’ in Afr’ca?” “Yes, I'm the gentleman, What do you want to know about it?” “Nothin’, ceptin’ I just wanted to tell you that on no condishuns what- soever will I go’ with you."—North Carolina Boll Weevil.
