KANSAS Vol. X LOCAL ELKS CHARITABLE TO DOUGLASS HOSPITAL LOCAL ELKS CHARITABLE TO DOUGLASS HOSPITAL Elkdom has come into its own at last in our city with a very strong membership of highly representative people in both Ranger Lodge and Ranger Temple. Ranger Temple has given a signal evidence of the charitableness so characteristic of the order by the donation to the new Douglass Hospital of one dozen blankets and one dozen pillow slips. Since this has been done already with the ink hardly dry on the charter, only the future can tell the story of the good works and charitable deeds yet to be done. Mrs. Nettie Washington is making a conspicuous success in her station of Daughter-Ruler, backed by an able corps of officers and with the cordial support of the entire membership. A CONFERENCE BOOK My Dear Friend and Brother: All eyes are now turned toward the General Conference of the great A. M. E. 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.

Kansas City, Kansas, January 23. 1924 Whereas, It has pleased the Almighty Ruler of the Universe to take from our midst our dear neighbor, Mrs. Nellie Kennedy, who for a number of years has lived among us; who by her quiet and modest actions has endeared herself to us, and Whereas, We know that our loss is heaven's gain, we bow in humble submission to His will, knowing that some day if we keep the faith we shall see her again in that land where death never comes, in that land where loved ones will be united, where the saints will gather around the throne and sing the songs of Moses and the Lamb. Be it resolved, That we will ever keep the faith, that the Spirit of the ages will envelop us, and that through her life we may be led on to higher and nobler endeavor. She will be sadly missed; her place can never be filled; her vacant chair around the hearthstone and home will speak a silent warning to us all.

MIDNIGHT MINGLING WITH THE CREOLES Preaches at St. James and Other Noted Churches Thibodaux, La., Jan. 31.—If Col. J. O. Midnight should die, it would not be for want of attention, for he has certainly had that and then he has been extremely careful since he left the hospital, and is still looking around, yet he is taking extra care of himself, and is constantly consulting the best physicians in the country, and even going into their homes. When I took my pen in my little hand to write you a few lines last week, I was right there and then in the home of one of the leading physicians in this country, and a man who knows his business when its comes to looking into the aches and ails and pains of the human body, and then he is one more human bug destroyer fighter, and he puts them out of business right along. Now you want to know the man, and I don't blame you, and I tell you right now it is Dr. M. C. Gaines, of 2003 Milam street, New Orleans, La., and he is a man who took lots of time to prepare himself before he put out his shingle, and his recommendation has been his patients. I have had an opportunity to study him and to see just how busy he is, but he is not too busy to stop to serve God, to be interested in the work of the church and to go there, although he is often called out right in the midst of a big sermon to serve on a reception committee, or to keep some sinner from hell or to keep some Christian from going to heaven. He knows how to keep them out of both places, until the Lord steps in and commands him to stop and takes the man or woman on away. I had the pleasure of spending several nights in his home—and let me tell you he has a home, one of the finest in New Orleans, and all his and his wife's, Mrs. Celia Gaines. Large bed rooms, living rooms, parlors, eating room, library with books that count for thought. You can just sit in his library and take a trip around the world, and then you can associate with some of the best society the world has ever known, and that is going some, and you may put this in your pipe and smoke it. Mrs. Gaines is a literary woman, a well educated, cultured young woman, and you will account for this when I tell you that she was a Dumas, perhaps no relation to Alexander Dumas, yet she could be, for he was one of us. Her family has given to the world two noted physicians, one in Washington, D. C., and the other in Natchez, Miss., and then there is one pharmacist, H. J. Dumas, in Natchez, who owns his drug store and the two-story building where is the home of the store. Then she accepted the hand of the noted physician of New Orleans. All night long the speaking tube or the hello box was ringing, calling for the doctor. It is remarkable how busy he is now and how busy he is kept all the time. I had the pleasure of visiting his office, and honey it is just a palace, and I am delighted to tell you this. I would like to get to go to his office. One half of us don't know what the other half is doing, and it will be a surprise to know about this wonderful character. I met him in Oakland, California, last fall and he invited me to his home, and honey, he looked after me and fought them bugs like the devil, getting rid of them. But one Sunday was spent in New Orleans, and there were other big men in town, and they preached. Bishop W. A. Fountain, of Georgia, was there and he preached in the St. James A. M. E. church, where is stationed my good yaller friend, Dr. B. J. Dawson who used to be in Kansas City, and I had the pleasure of preaching in the Union Bethel. A. M. E. church, and the Old Baptist church at night. That was a big day's work for me, and I got some emoluments out of it as well as the service I was able to render. I must not get to talking about myself and fail to tell you that Dr. V. M. Townsend, from Arkansas, was in town, and he reached there --- --- THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Proprietor. THOS. KNAPPER. Associate Editor MRS. M. C. MATTHEWS, Society Editor.

Turquoise-Blue Dragon Flies Seen in Hampshire In South America I was accustomed to see dragon files in rushing hordes and clouds, and in masses clinging like swarming bees to the trees; here we see them as single insects, but I once witnessed a beautiful effect produced by a large number of the common turquoise-blue dragon fly gathered at one spot, and this was in Hampshire. It was a very bright windy morning in June, and the oak woods had been stripped of their young foliage by myriads of caterpillars, so that the sunlight fell untempered through the seemingly dead trees on the bracken that covered the ground below. Now, at one spot over an area of about half an acre, the bracken was covered with the common turquoise-blue dragon fly, clinging to the fronds, their heads to the wind, their long bodies all pointing the same way. They were nowhere close together, but very evenly distributed, about three to 'six inches apart, and the sight of the numberless slips of gemelike blue sprinkled over the billowy, vivid green tern was a rare and exceedingly lovely one.—W. H. Hudson, in "Hampshire Days." New Gas Mask Protects Painters From Poison Lead poisoning has long been the bugbear of painters. While working with paint having a high lead content the inhalation of the paint odors has been known to produce dangerous attacks of the well-known "painters' colle" while contact of lead paint with the skin, particularly where it is cut or abraded, often results in irritating diseases. To combat these conditions a special gas mask or respirator has been devised. This is not so cumbersome as the conventional type, merely serving as a filter against the lead fumes and not covering the whole face. It straps around the back of the head, covering the nose and mouth, but not the eyes, thus affording free-vision. Worn in combination with rubber gloves for protecting the hands, the new respirator affords ample protection against the possibility of contracting disease, no matter what may be the lead content of the paint used. Very Sad A teacher said to his class in English composition: "Now I wish every member of the class would write out a conversation between a grocer and one of his customers,' introducing some pathetic incident or reference." "Among the compositions handed in was the following:' "What do you want?' asked the merchant.' The woman replied: "A pound of tea." "Green or black?" asked the merchant. "I think I'll take black," said she; "It's for a funeral." Somewhat Different "My dear," said the newly married man to his wife, "where did all these books on astronomy come from? They are not ours." "A pleasant little surprise for you," remarked his wife. "You know you said this morning that we ought to study astronomy, so I went to the book-seller's and bought everything I could on the subject." It was some minutes before he spoke, "My dear," he then said, his voice husky with emotion, "I never said we must study astronomy; I said we must study economy." THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M.

He carried his sermon to the point that his hearers were benefited and felt the presence. of the Holy Spirit when he explained the great need of every one to hurry and see Jesus. The fourth Sunday being our day for communion and 'speaking meeting, the evening services were highly spiritual. Everyone that could tried to witness for Jesus. We certainly had a spiritual meeting. After the Junior B. Y. P. U. had a good sermon, the services were again resumed. The pastor-preached from text, Matt. 27:51, "The veil of the temple was rent in twain."

It is also rumored that the men are determined to march to "Victory," thereby defeating the fairer sex and hence put them in their place. Still, the women are not saying anything.

That Was Different Little Jimmy was suffering from a childish alliment, and the doctor ordered some medicine in the form of powder. "Now then, Jimmy," said his fond mother, preparing to administer one of the powders in a teaspoon, "take this at once and you will soon be better." But Jimmy was not so easily won over. "No. I don't want to take it," he whined. "I don't like medicine, and I won't take it." "Why, Jimmy," pleaded his mother gently, "you never heard me complain about a little powder, did you? "No, and nor would I," was the bright child's startling response, "if I could just put it on my face like you do, but, I have to swallow it." --- THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE ANNIVERSARY SALE Long To Be Remembered Price Wrecking Sale We invite our many friends and customers together with the friends and customers we hope to gain, to this fine Wrecking Sale.

FURNITURE AND HARDWARE OF ALL KINDS AT ANY PRICE When Boswell, at twenty-six, first met Johnson, the great man was in his fifty-fourth year and at the height of his fame, with the celebrated dictionary published eight years before and his pension recently conferred upon him. Therefore, about four-fifths of the "Life" are taken up with the last 21 years of Doctor Johnson's life. Archibald Marshall, the English author, has summed up the previous years swiftly and compactly in an introductory chapter. It was in 1736 that Johnson married. There is in circulation today an admonition to the effect that the wise way in which to deal with women is to "marry 'em young; treat 'em rough; tell 'em nothing." Johnson did not marry his wife young, but he saw the wisdom of treating her rough at the beginning with the idea of curbing coquettish tendencies. She was a Mrs. Porter, a widow double the age of Johnson, yet despite her maturity, or possibly because of it, inclined to be skittish. Long after the wedding Johnson gave Boswell the following account of their journey to the church upon the nuptial morn: "Sir, she had read the old romances and had got into her head the fantastical notion that a woman of fine spirit should use her lover like a dog. So, sir, at first she told me that I rode too fast and she could not keep up with me, and when I rode a little slower she passed me and complained that I lagged behind. I was not made to be the slave of caprice and I resolved to begin as I meant to end. I therefore pushed on briskly till I was fairly out of her sight. The road lay between two hedges, so I was sure she could not miss it, and I contrived that she soon should come up with me. When she did I observed her to be in tears." Salmon Eggs Are Used To Lure Mountain Trout Salmon eggs are another delicacy that the mountain, cutthroat, dolly varden and rainbow trouts of the western ranges are very partial toward. This balt is fished in the swift and tunbling waters of the little mountain rivers of Idaho, Washington and Oregon to a large extent; as they are obtained in the vicinity of the great salmon canneries. Used in connection with a small spinner or double spoon spinner these eggs are a deadly killer on the western trout. They are also great lures for the gray trout of the northern lakes—Sportsmen's Digest. Bird of a Scheme "You say this parrot is a voluble talker?" "Yes, sir, it's one of the greatest talkers in the store." "Tire out easily?" "This bird is simply inexhaustible." "Then I'll take it. It will be humiliating to my wife-to be out-talked by a parrot, but better that than to be talked to death myself."—Boston Transcript. Being Polite For days little Phyllis was warned that Miss Blank was coming on a visit, and that she must not say anything about her being fat. She came. Phyllis studied her for a while, and then remarked, encouragingly: "You're not nearly so stout as I thought you'd be!" Sticky "She makes a gracious hostess, they say." "Yes, but I'm afraid to alt on her chair." PUBLICATION NOTICE.

DANIEL (BOB) MAHER, Sheriff of Wyandotte County Kansas (First Published January 4, 1924) Coal in Argentina Newspaper dispatches from Cordoba, Argentina, assert that important discoveries of coal, petroleum and gold have been made in that province. The coal is said to be equal to, if not better than, the best Cardiff product in burning qualities. If the deposits prove to be economically workable they will be a great boon to Argentine manufacturing industry which is at present handicapped by the high cost of imported fuel, resort often being had to wood brought down from the upper Parana valley. The existence of petroleum deposits in Cordoba province has long been suspected, though most of the exploration of the Argentine field has so far been confined to regions farther south. The gold discovered 'was in alluvial deposits, nuggets weighing as much as thirty-one grams having been found. Detroit News. Roads Employ Many Men There are 77,000 trolley car motormen employed in this country every day on the electric railways. It requires 63,000 conductors for their cars. Approximately 150,000 other men are employed on the tracks and in the shops and car houses of these electric railways. The wages of this large group of men are derived from the receipts of the electric railways from fares paid by their passengers. Recovered Grand opera being under discussion, a Plunkville citizen was, asked if he had even seen much of it. By way of reply he had this to say: "Last year I saw an opera called La Boheme." There was a girl in it named Mimi. 'She was the heroine, in fact. Along about the third act, when I had to leave, she was pretty slick.

Let us wait and see ‘We were all on our way out tc this place where Bishop William Al fred Fountain, the educator, the lendér of men, the friend to hu- manity is presiding with dignity over the Louisiana African Methodist Episcopal conference, and I want to even at this late date congratulate the General Conference of 1920 for doing such a wise thing as to elect this scholar on the bench, He is strong, well trained and is a student of men. He is réndering a great service for his church. While he is Fountain, yet he is the Daniel Payne of this age. He is accompanied by his companion, who serves as his private secretary, and she is a good one. She worked by his side when he was president of Morris Brown University, and she is still right there to assist him in his work for human uplift. Rev. H. H. Dunn of New Orleans put my name in the morning paper, and I have just worn that paper out this soon toting it around showing it to all who wanted to see my name in’a daily paper. I am about to get a bad case of the big head. Well, the conference has opened up here, and I have been to the opening, and I have heard one more big address by Bishop Fountain, and then I have heard others speak, un- til I have just felt like I was some- thing myself—in fact, I am some- thing, and I will some day make the college president look wise or other- wise at me. They will get jealous of me and my Latin, Greek,-Hebrew, French and all the other languages. You will just have to get some one to go along to tell you what I am saying I am going to be so edu- cated, but I don’t want to be in the lass with Prof. Robert L, Lee, prin- sipal of the Thibodaux high school— seventh grade—and that is some high school, believe me, honey. He is not a college graduate, but the world was in such a big hurry hat he could not wait to get through sollege, and answered the call. In ther words, Prof. Lee was plucked nefore he was ripe, yet he is just wimming in his_own importance, until I think he must have been that fellow Goldsmith had in mind in the ‘Deserted Village” when he wrote ‘And still they gazed and still the yonder grew, how such a small head ould carry all that he knew.” He 1as been in some college, but I, have mown colleges to turn out dam- ghules. Associated with this son of ulture are’ Mrs. Cardelia Williams, Mrs. Bryant, Miss Mary Scott and rof. John Ward. I was very much mpressed with the modesty, with he ability of Mrs. Bryant, but did ot get to study the others. She was he only one who ‘invited me to sit lown. But I will leave them all to ur Father, and say that Thibodaux eds a few more teachers like Mrs. iryant. Praise the Lord for her fe. . People are all getting ready now or the General Conference to be eld next May in Louisville, Ken- ucky. Things are getting in shape nd we hope to be able to land them ome day by and by. What are you doing for the world nd what is it doing for you? I ant to go to Louisville to the Gen- ral Conference, and then I want » go to the B. Y, P, U. in Cleve~ dn, Ohio, Pray for me that I may old out until that time. I will ave more to say to you, but you annot bear it all now. Ruinous. Flora—Don’t you find the hot sun bad for the complexion? Fauna—it’s awful, It melts the rouge and leaves the face all streaky. Beware of the man who is always harping about hontsty being the best policy. 7 Spirit of Chivalry” -. * to Be Reincarnated The» spirit of chivalry is belng reli: sarnated. , That spirit, of self-sacrifice wud benevolence which characterize the Knights Templar and Knights Hospitalers inthe old days has been reborn, tn. ‘the Most , Noble Order o! Crusaders, an English organizatior fn which,many of England's highest und lowest, born’are enrolled. ' Taking ‘Its Inspiration of service from the comradeship'of the army; the patron saint of the order is the Un: known Warrior on whosé tomb a wreath Is to be.golemnly lald by the Crasaders every year. The ritual of the organization has not been divulged, all the apparatus of password, ‘sign and token being adopted In the man- ner of Freemasonry, The conclave meets in a secret place ind the members are sworn not to dl- vulge what takes place. The, specific purpose of the order Is to create a body, of men prepared to perform public seryice of an undefined char- acter and to help all those in difficulty. Its cardinal tenets are to honor God. to be true to the king, to serve the country, to exercise personal self-sac- rifice and to practice as well as t6 profess ‘brotherhood ‘without distinc- tion of rank or cldss. Vows of loyal- ty, obedience, service and self-sacri-' fice are taken by the 2,000 members now enrolled who, before being admit- ted, must serve a sort of novitlate. The members are in three ranks, freemen, yoemen and esquires. The robes worn at their ceremonies are similar to’ those ‘of the Hospitalers. The esquires wear a black gown and hood, over which is a surcoat of white linen with a red cross-on the breast, The,yoemen wear green, and the. free- men, earth-colored attire. The head of the order the pro-grand, master, wears rich ‘crimson robes with a white cross on the arm. a, One of the first, meetings of the or- der was in Westminster abbey in London a few days ago, amid all the trappings and splendor of a medieval pageant. At this time the pro-grang master addressed his subjects: 2 “You have,” he said, “made it your nigh atm to resolve to recover for this century the spirit of the age of chiv- ilry, whose keynote was brotherhood and whose talisman was service. It s fitting, therefore, that such a mis- fon should be sealed in this ‘abbey ‘hurch, where every stone—from the vorn and time-hallowed shrine of St. Sdward to the smooth slab which cov- rs the Unknown Warrior—is in Its flence an eloquent and immutable vitness to the unfading chivalry of yur race.” The gathering was perhaps the most nique ever assembled under the Brit- sh flag. The men, democratically qualized by the strange robes, ob- lously belonged to all classes, Many rere unmistakable workmen, and ‘one s told that the order makes a strong ppeal in the industrial districts, The rocession, filing out of the church fter the ceremonies, glided to the low and rhythmic cadences of the ‘regotian chant. 1 Four-Footed Epicure Here is a fox story with a moral: A certain family in Colorado, writes a contributor, caught a young for, which they kept chained to a kennel.” They fed the ttle fellow a great deal of bread. Bion on . Presently they began to miss thelr chickens, They thought first of all of thé young fox, but it did not seem Ukely that he conld, kill them, chained as he was. Nevertheless, several mem- bers of the family concealed themselves and watched. They saw the fox take his-bread to the end of the chain, then walk back a few ‘steps and drop it on the ground. After that he retired to his kennel and lay down, Soonor or later the chickens saw the bread and gathered for a feast. At the right moment the fox sprang among them and had a chicken dinner. The moral ts plam: all of us lke variety in our dlet—Youth's Com- panion. é Very Sorry A funny case came up in the’ police court the other day. A Merican with as much mescal in bis system as there was gas in his flivver, wobbled into town and was pinched on the usual charges, “I have & good mifid to send you to prison for six months,” snapped the judge. : 7 “I am very sorry, senor,” explained the Mexican patiently, “but already I have told you that I am returning to Tijuana tomorrow.” tg 7S Tg gl lge - Te — Experimental Fur Farm An experimental fur farm ils being eatablished. ‘in the ‘torthwestern part ‘of New York state by the bureau of biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture, in ‘order that observations and studies may be made of the habits of fur-bearing ant: mals and of the possibilities of grow- ing them In captivity and producing tar of good quality. A similar farm, which has been operatedby the bu~ reauat Keesville, N, Y., will be discon- tinuéd a8 soon as the new one Is ready. The new farm is located three and one- half miles from’ Saratoga Springs, N. ¥., on the state highway ‘to Corinth, and is more easily accessible than the old, both by automobile and by bus line. The tract comprises 20 acres, of.which approximately 15, are covered by an excellent-growth of timber, and will furnish an {deal situation for the desired purpose. - “Coming downtown at night,” as 8 pastime, has become almost obsolete, Be sure your bos will nd you out— but if they don’t your neighbors will. A soclety woman's idea of a foolish girl is one who wants to ,marry-for love. PUBLICATION NOTICE red A. Brffner, execptor of the estate of F. M: Bru- ner, deceased, Plaintiff. ° vs. S. L.
