EVERYBODY MUST REGISTER. HAVE YOU REGISTERED? JULY 25th IS THE LAST CHANCE --- KANSAS Vol. X EVERYBON CREDITABLE MENTION OF DESERVING Mrs. Dwiggins, who filled her post of Recording Secretary of the recent state meet of C. W. Clubs, creditably, was compelled to leave immediately at the close of the session for Philadelphia, Pa., to attend the N. N. E. C. and did not have time to publicly thank all who worked with her as chairman of the Arrangements committee of the State meet and instrumental in making it such a crowning success. Both white and colored cooperated and gave so liberally, food, etc., for comfort of large delegation. Especial mention must be given Mrs. Worthy, president of City Federation and Mrs. L. James, who delivered one of the finest addresses of the state meet on the "Story of Life," treating it from a scientific standpoint. Armour Cudahy and Wilson gave meat liberally (over 250 pounds), also Diltz sack of flour, each—Maddox, Worthy, Collins, Fisher and Chinery. Lard and Butter—West, Kister, Richardson, Peper, Belton, Miles, Roynane, Spolfts, Drees, Feld, Horstman, Consumers and Holmes. Sweet and buttermilk, each day—Meyer's creamy, Hoch & Son. Cream—Thomas. Bert Collins, 16 pounds onions, dozen lemons; 9 gallons ice cream each delivered Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evening from Globe, DeCoursey and Carl Atwood; 3 gallons other Atwood also; Folger's coffee for reception; 12 dozen large packages spaghetti from Mr. Cannon and 480 paper napkins from Kresge's and Woolworths; eggs, bacon, also crackers and cakes. Loose-Wiles. Much credit is due for bread from Kopp's, Rushton and Campbell, the clubs, from the smallest with 100 lbs. sugar, others 2 boxes tomatoes, 2 peas, 2 corn, barrel (large) apples, bushels new and old potatoes, 100 pound sack corn meal, $4.50 sack coffee; 2 bushels new cabbage, condiments of every description, all articles necessary down to ice.

Again we thank all for their generosity. CARD OF THANKS.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 BODY MUST RE "WITH THE POOR AND LOWLY" Here is a little story by Con Van Natta, for 25 years an employee of Senator Capper. In his intimate relationship with him for so long a time he has come to know and had a part in many such happenings as this which shows that in his dispensation of good works there is no discrimination in race, creed or color. "When Senator Capper was governor there was out in Tennesseeetown, a suburb of Topeka, an old colored auntie. She lived alone in her little shack. And oh, how she loved him. "I went out there one cold winter morning with John Starnes, for 16 years Mr. Capper's faithful colored chauffer, in his big "twelve." I had my arms full of stuff. The Governor had sent her provisions before. It was early. The old soul was still in bed. I knocked, and knocked again. At last aroused, she answered, but did not seem disposed to come to the door, probably because of the cold and her crippled condition. "Who dar?' she said. "I told her it was Governor Capper with something for her. "Fo' de lan's sake—yes, you wait till I git to de doah." "I could hear her scrambling around in the house and the plunk, plunk, and drag of her crutches on the floor. "Hep me turn de knob. "As the door opened I think I saw the light of Heaven in her face. With her nearly sightless eyes and crumpled old fingers she received the things the Governor had sent, and as I said 'Goodbye Auntie, good luck,' with her withered hands outstretched toward me she said: 'God bless you, Mr. Capper, Goodbye.'"

The picnic at Heathwood Park the Fourth was largely attended and a great outing was enjoyed, the day being an ideal one. The ball game was the one big feature of the afternoon athletics. The Kansas City Wonders (colored) and the Seventh Street Merchants (white) played a fine and interesting game. Although, the score was lobsided, they were hard-earned runs.

The residence of Mr. H. C. Bryant, 1044 Everett avenue, was destroyed by fire Saturday afternoon, between 4 and 5 o'clock. Mr. Bryant was at his work at the Courthouse where he is custodian, at the time and his wife was sick in bed. The neighbors carried Mrs. Bryant from the house not any too soon to save her life, as the flames were rapidly coming to her room. Everything was destroyed in the house before the fire department could subdue the flames. There was only a small insurance on the property and household goods. Mr. and Mrs. Bryant have the sympathy of their neighbors and many friends in their loss. Mrs. P. V. Ward and sons, master Ulyssis and Loyd, of 2051 North Sixth street, have gone to Texas to spend the summer with her sister. Number 47 COL. J. O. ATTENDS THE UNVEILING SERVICES OF MONUMENT OF GREAT MAN Helena, Ark., July 10.—The Democrats of this country have had a heluva time in nominating a man to run against President Calvin Coolidge for president of the United States, and perhaps it will have happened by the time you read this letter, and then we may rejoice in it. I hope my Republicans are going to exercise some real common sense and win the election. Tell them that I say work will have to be done, and they will not have time to throw away, for that would mean defeat. It can't be conducted on a white man's plank or any other man. They will have to take into consideration me and mine, for without us they cannot be elected. My advice, presented free of charge, is that in due time they get busy and real busy at that. Call on the best available men and women of the country, to bind the spell. You can no longer look into the face of a black man and tell just how he is going to vote. I don't care what the South may have to say about it, but the Democrats of the North are going to bid for our votes, and every vote up there will count next fall. In Illinois, and around about Chicago, I am told that they have selected a man of my race to make the run against Congressman Madden. I will tell you about it later. The other time when I took my pen in hand to write you a few lines to inform you of my health, I was in Virginia, and in Lynchburg at that, attending the Sabbatical Jubilee celebration of the State convention presided over by Dr. Thomas Jefferson King, and he is indeed a fine presiding officer. I told you about how I was entertained by President R. C. Woods, and his wife, as the guest in their homes, and then I told you some other things. It was a big time there for me. I enjoyed all of it and was soon headed for a point in Kentucky. That is, to say, I stopped at Ashland, Ky. Do you want to know why I stopped there? If you do I will tell you. Rev. Julian C. Caldwell, D.D., the editorial secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, who will prepare the Sunday School literature commencing next week, is there and I stopped over to chat with him just a little bit. I reached there about 4 o'clock in the morning and found this young minister awaiting my getting there, and soon toted me over to his home, which was just a hop-step-and-jump from the stable where I got off of the iron horse. Do you know Dr. Julian C. Caldwell? He is one of the brightest minds in the African Methodist Episcopal church, and you will have a splendid opportunity to see his worth to his church and race in a few days. For when he begins to prepare food for the young minds, you will see the real ability of the man. He can shine and may shine if he only will. It's up to him, for from that place he is to step into the episcopal honors. He deserves it. He is well posted on the work. It seemed that he tried to make me a Methodist and had solicited the elements to assist in putting the job over. Just after I had gotten in bed the rain poured down, and came right in bed on me, and was sprinkling me, but honey I got up, shoved the bed to one side, and said thank God I am satisfied. I spent the morning with Dr. Caldwell, and in the afternoon I made it to Covington headed for Chicago, but missed connection and spent the night there with the pastor of the African Methodist Episcopa church, but had to pay for it by speaking Sunday night. Monday morning found me headed for Chicago over the Chesapeake and Ohio. Reaching Chicago at 5:30 found Dr. J. S. Trice awaiting me and toted me out to the home of (Continued on page 4.) ein Rathi Sota toe aN i a | aks a rag ~f “ il.

Moseley, Pastor The congregation of religious wor- shippers that gather together every Sunday to help us praise God were very large today and night. The pastor preached an Old Folks sermon in the morning, but the Spirit seemed to touch everybody, both old and young. Text Ps. 71, 9 and 18. He made great stress on the zeal and interest taken by our old mothers and fathers to tear down the wickedness of their days and make it possible that we of today may serve God under these bright lights of intelligence or just as our forefathers cut down the trees, made roads out of paths, fields out of timberred lands for us to travel the highways and viaducts today and work the good farms of today. He gave them due credit for this, prov- jing that God’s hand guided them to Jay the foundation for this great good we are now enjoying. Everybody en- joyed his remarks. | The church auxiliaries were well atended. The night services were well attended by a large crowd. The pas- tor’s text, Matt. 8, 2, subject “The: Great Physician.” He proved that Jesus is the greatest physician known to mankind. He made a good repre- sentation of the life and office of. Jesus Christ and when he connected it to mankind all who heard it could well say “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked with us by the way.” The Mt. Olive Mission Circle is doing real mission work for the uplift of fallen humanity, without selfish motives. God is blessing their efforts and guiding their leader to the front. We thank God for such patient leaders, who look not for self agrand- izement, but for the good of the Mas- ter’s cause they labor on looking to the the Great Judge for their reward. These leaders, Mrs. E. M. Moseley, and her co-workers, are doing won- derful work for the good of all. Let us aid them and pray for their suc- cess. Come to church. We welcome you. Read the Advocate.

Pastor Bronson preachet a fine sermon at 11 a. m. on “The Spirit of the Lord Is Upon Me.” He said in part: “The two greatest books to reveal are Nature and the Bible.” He narrated beautfully how after Christ’s consecration, Satan took up warfare against Him; and said ‘the greatest battles are not won by guns, but by the Spirit of the Lord.” Some united with the church at the con- clusion of the sermon. Mr. Wilhite made a good talk and Dr. Davis also talked well. At 8 p, m, Rev. Brooks of the A. M. E. church preached a fine appropriate sermon to our Mission from II Cor. It was his first time to preach in our church, and all true christians en- joyed it. Mrs. Lewis played a violin solo and her son played a piano solo. The Mission took up quite a sum on their drive. At 8 p. m. the choir sang “How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds,” to a sweet familiar meter; and “I Want to See Jesus; Don’t You” which the congregation could sing. Mr. Fitchue directed the people fine and Prof. Langston directed the choir. Pastor Bronson uttered the Public- ity Committee’s sentiment when he said “He loves to have the congre- gation sing those beautiful old fash- joned hymns in gospel hymn books from 1 to 6.” Christian classical mu- sic is alright, but songs must be sung in which “all that have breath can praise the Lord.” He then preached a greater sermon to a larger crowd than he had in the morning, on “Christ Was Delivered for Our Trans- gressions.” As the Spirit of God en- tered the Temple so powerfully, he had to conclude. Some united with the church and twenty-one were given the hand of fellowship. After which hundreds partook of the Lord’s sup- per, and pledged themselves to be true to the laws of the church. Some workers for the rally in August have dinner every Wednesday. The Sewing Circle meets and has dinner every Friday. | The City Mission’s play last Thurs- day was pronounced by its hearers| as very fine. All the characters did so well that two large churches have| asked that it be repeated soon. Miss, Murdock’s vocal solo was recalled and Mme. Allsbrook’s piano solo was asked for again. Dr. Bronson praised the play writer very highly. The Metro- politan Mission president also asked the poetess to read for the Interna- ional Missionaries’ program this Thursday night. Details of this will ye given next week. The Music school gives its program this Sunday, July 13, at 4 p.m. Good sermons will 9e preached also. Come to Metro- volitan church, which has as many oted people as any church, and also, as many good people of common ense. Mrs. Dow is reported better. Mrs. 3. L. Johnson is better and Mr. Reese s said to be improving. Twins Her Specialty Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Connolly of South Boston, parents of twins born March 17, had little difficulty in pick- ing out thelr names. Of course it was Patrick for ‘one and Patricia for the other. Besides, they had had expert- ence in naming twins, This made the fourth set. The eldest are twelve years, Edward and Eleanor; the next, eight years, Frank and Frances; the next, four years, Joseph and Joseph- ine; last, and nolslest, Patrick’ and Patricia. Had Gay Funeral By her own request, the foneral of the mother of Gen. Sir W. H. Con- greve, noted British soldier, which took place in England, had as many of the features of a wedding ceremony as possible. The church was deco- rated with flowers, the service was fully choral, the clergy wore white atoles, the church bells rang a wedding peal and all the flags in the village were flown from the top of the staff.

CHURCH Re ee a eT Oe eae eee Sree Fee Greeley Ave. Phone Fx. 2330; Rev. N. B. Robinson, Assist- ant Pastor. Sunday School began at the usual hour with a large number of pupils and teachers in attendance. The les- son was ably taught in all classes, after which our pastor gave a splen- did review of the lesson. At the morning service our pastor, Rev. Rhone, delivered a powerful sermon from the twentieth chapter of Matthew using the 30th and 32nd verses for the text. His subject was “The Determined Will.” The large audience seemed to give him inspira- tion, as he ably exponded his inter- esting text. He showed clearly how these men had an aim in view, name- ly to see Jesus, They carried out their purpose, even though the multi- tude scoffed and rebuked them, and commanded them to hold their peace, They were determined to see Jesus, who was fully aware of their will- power and determination and gave| them their sight. Thus their deter- mined will brought them great com- fort. He exhorted us to follow this example, At 8 p. m. a visiting minister brought us the message. The classes are in the midst of their summer drive. Each class is organ- ized into a club and is eagerly work- ing. Some special form of entertain- ment is being offered every night in the week. The Lawn Excursion at Mrs, Hurts’ 2021 Walnut, promises to be the treat of the season. Sisters Winston, Meaddowbrooks, and Bruce are still on the sick list. Visitors are welcome to all of our! services—especially Wednesday night prayez meetings. ‘ Feast for Moths “I got out my last summer's sult yesterday, and while I'm a Christian and a God-fearing man, I'm afrald I made the air blue for several blocks,” sald the dignified man. “You see I had failed to have the suit cleaned before I put it away, and as I had no wife to do It for me the suit was laid away with all the soil of the summer on It. It was ple for the moths, They ate down the front of the trousers, over the front of the vest, on the coat shoul- ders, and along the front of the sleeves.

The boy was Wilbur Wetlin, and his sets were made out of such things as mother’s vanity case, her powder box, a pencil and a fountain pen cap. Also serving were a penny match box, a mouse trap, on old watch case’.and two peanut shells.

DORSEY GREEN, Atty. for Plaintiff (First Published July 4, 1924.) Callousness William A. Brady, the New York theatrical man, was talking about a play which had failed so horribly that it was taken off after the first performance. "The author of that play," he said, "now feels that the New York public is as callous as Jake, the scene-shifter, was. "Jake, the scene-shifter, started one night to lower the curtain a little too soon on a death scene. The actor who was dying rolled his eyes toward the wings reprochfully. "Half a minute, old man,' he whispered. 'I ain't dead yet.' "Well, hurry up,' said Jake, quite audibly. 'I got a hot supper waitin' for me.'" THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Dollars can't be acquired without sense. How slight a change may raise or sink a soul.—Bailey. Borrowing is not much better than begging.—Lessing. Take away some men's self conceit, and you ruin them. Be careful. Did you ever notice that when a mule is kicking he isn't pulling? No wonder a typewriter gets rattled when a pretty girl is working it. Pitiless publicity is all right, if it is the public's business; otherwise not. Economy is the road to wealth, but you can't travel over it on balloon tires. Hope and happiness are so chummy that when one dies the other commits suicide. A greater pleasure is to be courteous and smiling to those who are timid. Always give your wife her own way; it will save her the trouble of taking it. The stubbornness of some automobiles would indicate more mule than horse power. An actor always likes to have friends, yet he never wants any one to take his part. When a man is in love he is either so happy or so miserable that he doesn't care what happens. After a city reaches 50,000 population, the inhabitants don't have to speak to everybody who lives there. How Queen of Sheba Had Solomon Guessing One "English to Foreigner" teacher is proud of her class of adult mothers, and when she can't get people to come down to visit it, to hear her ladies read and talk, she brings samples of their written work home to show off. And this is a composition she proudly handed to the Woman, the work of a truly ambitious, elderly person struggling to master the language in the country of her adoption. "King Solomon and the Flowers." "The queen of Sheba loved King Solomon very much. She knew that he is very wise so she wanted to play a trick on him by sending to him a wreath of flowers exactly the same, but one was neturel and the other one was imitation so it would be very hard for a human beeing to see any differens. But mean while a bee flue in through an open window and after bussing around the room she sat down on the flowers from which she could get honey and to the immitation flowers the bee did not pay any attention. Then the king found out which is which."—New York Sun. Every time the average man makes a good guess he has a lot to say about his superior judgment. Wash and Jeff Senator Walsh of Montana said in New York the other day: "Warlike states hate one another because they see their own faults reflected in one another. It's like the Washington-Jefferson story. "'Look-a-yere,' said Washington, as he slammed his cards down on the table, 'dat's twice yo's called me, Jefferson! If yo' don't know no mo' dan to cornfuse me with dat bow-legged, flat-footed, hard-lipped no 'count colored man, Jefferson, why, we'll stop de game right now! 'Ah axes yere pardon, Washington,' said the other player. 'Ah sure axes yere pardon, sah. Don't go and draw yere shooter on me same as Jefferson done 'tother evenin' when Ah called him Washington by mistake. Yo' two fellers ain't alike nohow 'ceptin' in yere looks and gin'ral characterizations.'"—Detroit Free Press. Lost—A Mother! "Ive lost my mother," said Rene. "Do I understand you to mean that your mother is dead?" asked Ludovic. "Do I understand you to mean that your mother is dead?" asked Ludovic. "Oh, nothing so hackneyed," replied Rene. "No, she's simply disappeared." "But aren't you doing anything?" asked Ludovic. "Oh, yes." returned Rene, "everything that could be done at short notice. We've notified the police and the family solicitors and consulted a crystal gazer, and we've told the dairy to send half a pint less milk every day till further notice. I can't think of anything else to do. It's the first time I've lost a mother, you know."—From the Square Egg, by H. H. Munro. Certainly Sound Fred was a long-winded individual. He always insisted on giving any one and every one his views at great length, regardless of whether or not he had been asked for them. In short, he was what is commonly known as a bore. "Well, what do you think of my argument?" he asked his friend Tom after one particularly tiring tirade. "Sound—most certainly sound," replied his friend. Fertilizing Experiments That grain fertilized by manure produced by living creatures has more nutritive value than grain fertilized by the best known combinations of artificial fertilizers is indicated by experiments recently carried out at an agricultural station in India. Grain from land artificially fertilized was found to be lacking in vitamins as compared with grain grown from soil fertilized with animal manure. The report of the work is published in a recent number of the British Medical Journal. The experiments were conducted with pigeons, fed a diet of natural millet. The birds fed with millet grown from artificially fertilized land tended to develop the characteristic paralysis resulting from vitamine deficiency and they also suffered loss of weight. It was found that the efficacy of grain in promoting nutrition and preventing berl-berl bore no relation to the yield an acre, for although land well fertilized by artificial materials gave twice the yield of well-manured soil, the grain from the latter was decidedly the best in the content of vitamines.

Charles Stewart, and found them all in good spirits over the return of Charles Stewart to the city. His son is certainly a block off of the old chip. I got around in Chicago. Had the pleasure of seeing Miss Barbara C. Ford, who used to work in the office of Hon. John L. Webb, of the Woodmen of Union, one of the strongest fraternal organizations in the world, and a man of great worth and ability. He is a man who is pleading for our boys and girls and who is bringing about things in this world. Miss Ford is indeed a brilliant young woman, and she is now getting back some of her health. I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Elsie Criner, of Beaumont, who is one of the teachers in her home town, and is now putting more brains in her head, getting ready to get hold of better pay by becoming better prepared She is the guest of Mrs. Elvie L. Stewart, and I think they spent their childhood days or some part of them together in Texas. She is as busy as can be, and her city will feel proud of her. She is an enemy to ignorance, illiteracy and all that claims relation to them, and you may put it down that I told you that she knows how to make all the latest charges. She is one more useful woman. I had the pleasure of seeing some in the city, and when I was through, I made a bee-line to St. Louis, where I spent an hour or so at Poro, and was soon off for this place. Chicago is some city, and I tell you it is too much for me. There were several people I wanted to see, but could not. I beat it away from there, after meeting and talking with Dr. George Cleveland's office. He made a dash after the bugs, and told me to cut down some of my stomach. I think if you take off too much stomach from me, my body will sail up like a balloon, but then I am not here to discuss that now. Things that must be must be and those that must not be, of course, they just must not be, and I will leave it at that. Away from Chicago, to St. Louis, and then to another part of the world. At St. Louis, I had the pleasure of coming in touch with the Poro college people. It is wonderful just how they are keeping this place. It is just like the day it was thrown open to the public. Improvements have been made from time to time. Now Professor and Mrs. Malone are both away but things were going on there just like the workings of a well regulated clock. Each part was doing its duty, and all contributed to the whole. The business is well organized. I left on the Frisco for this part of the world, but not direct, from there I went to Memphis, where I met some other notables including myself, enroute to Helena to dedicate the monument or unveil the one erected to the memory of the late Elias Camp Morris, who was for so many years president of the National Baptist convention and one of the strong men of his race and country. This was a great man, and his life was spent for his God, his denomination, his race and his family. I named the family last, because the others seemed to be first with him. He took a stand, for which some abused him, others walked out and organized another convention, but Dr. Elias Camp Morris, insisted that the Baptists should control their own property, and the publishing house should be owned not by a board electing itself, and keeping itself in office, but by the convention itself. He went to his grave with this idea, and it will not die, for those who are left behind are following his lead. This was the forty-eighth anniversary of the church, the installation of the new pastor, Rev. J. S. Drew, and then the monument. H. W. Holloway, secretary of the National Baptist Benefit Board, and editor of the Inter-State Reporter, was the master of ceremonies, and he filled the position well. Among the visitors who attracted my attention were Rev. E. D. D. Isaacs, secretary of the National B. Y. P. U. Board; J. E. East, secretary National Baptist Foreign Mission Board; J. D. Crenshaw, editor of the National Baptist Voice; Chas. Stewart, National Baptist General Missionary; Dr. A. A. Cosey, J. R. Jamison, president of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention; A. A. Cosey, Vicksburg, Miss.; E. B. Topp, president of the Mississippi Baptist State convention, and others whose names I do not remember. There were many speeches made at the church, and the Rev. Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, of Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the Board, delivered the principal address at the cemetery. It was a wonderful address. He told of the life and work of the lamented Morris, for what he stood, for what he lived and for what he died, and he was pledged to help to carry out the plans of the great leader of men. The address was scholarly, and pointed. I was indeed glad to have had the pleasure of hearing it myself. Now I started this letter in Helena, at the home of Mrs. Eliza Miller, but I am away from it now. Since starting it, I have spent a day in Memphis the guest of Dr. and Mrs. T. O. Fuller, and then made it to this place where I am the guest of another great personage of this race of ours, Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle. I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. M. N. Biggs of Tyler, Texas, who is a supervisor in the county. She is well educated, but was on her way to Tuskegee Institute to take on some more education. She paid me a high compliment, by placing me as the head cook on a railroad. I want to thank her for the high compliment and hope some day to work up to it. She told me that she was striving to direct the lives of the youth into proper manhood and womanhood. God help her to reach the goal. I am now in Birmingham, and will have to bring this letter to a stop. Let me hear from you some day. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Veteran Razor Wielder Ablal B. Anthony, a Burlington (Vt.) barber, has been serving customers for sixty-seven years, of which sixty have been spent in Burlington. He is now eighty-five years old, and this colored barber is believed to be the oldest one in Vermont. Among his customers have been P. T. Barnum and Grover Cleveland. When he began his tonsorial career he received $3 a week, while his customers paid 6 cents for a shave and 18 cents for a haircut. During the Civil war hair dyeing was a profitable side line, most of his customers being women. That Much Settled A man with a little asthmatic trouble was thinking of spending a vacation in a high altitude. But first he went to consult a famous specialist.
