LAST DAY TO REGISTER! 10 P.M. TONIGHT WILL SHUT YOU OUT!! KANSAS MIDNIGHT ATTENDING KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS GRAND LODGE Invited to Statesville, N. C. by Grand Chancellor Statesville, N. C., July 24.—As I take my pen in hand to write to you this week, I am sick at heart, and yet, why should I be, when it is but the will of God being carried out. We know that we are here for a short period, and then the old house must return to mother dust and the soul or the real man must report before the throne of God there to be assigned to the place we have earned. But why this meditation, it has been a real long time since I had any word from Mrs. Norene Davis, and when I did get a letter from her upon reaching here she informed me that death had visited Allen Chapel parsonage and had taken away Mrs. Wittenburg, and one daughter, Mary Wittenburg, and both on the same day. It was perhaps more of a shock to me than to Rev. Wittenburg, because he was there and could witness the changes, he was there no doubt when the death angel arrived and conveyed their souls back to the God who gave them. I am sure that it was a blow, and I extend to him my deepest sympathy, and say that it is simply just one more or two more dear ones passed into the Great Beyond to welcome us when we, too, shall go. Only a short time now when we, too, will be with them. Mrs. Wittenburg, was a wonderful woman, devoted to her husband and his work. It comes to me, how when he was assigned to Kansas City from New Orleans, she remained there, and entertained the conference. She had the meals for the ministers and had them ready on time, and then she found so much pleasure in representing her husband. While in Louisville attending the General conference, the notice reached Mrs. Wittenburg in Kansas City, but she did not convey it to her husband, for she wanted that he would get all possible out of the general conference, and he was surprised when he returned home and found her in bed. I spent the last days in May in her home. She was not able to be in bed, was suffering with some trouble of heart. I told her how the bugs had gotten after me, and even recalled how I was sick last summer in her home and she would get up in the midnight hours to help me remain here. I cannot write about it, and you will pardon me if I should stop right here, because I find myself filling up. She is with loved ones today. I have moved just a little since I sent you that other letter. Bishop Coppin had crossed over, and the wife of the Rev. N. W. Williams, Louisville, Ky., followed. I went to Atlanta, Ga., and knocked around there for a few hours, going to the home of some of my friends there, but did not have the pleasure of seeing Dr. John Hope, but did see Dr. Ernest Hall, the busy preacher, the man who has invested his wealth in brains. He has indeed a fine library. Then I talked a little with Miss Ola Walker, the business manager of the Atlanta Independent, and then off for Savannah, Ga., where I spent a few hours, before going to Denmark. They are just doing things in Denmark. School is not in session but things are going on just the same. It is a pleasure to see Prof. Blanton, and spend a night in his home and take all of my meals with Professor Menafee and his wife. It was a nice trip and I enjoyed it so very much. Then off for Raleigh, N. C. Now you will have to agree with me, for when I stepped off of the locomo in Raleigh, I had sent word to Berry O'Kelly, but he was not there, but his wife was standing right there at midnight, waiting to meet Midnight, and she carried with her a smile, and right by her side was Mr. White who is working with Dr. O'Kelly. Mrs. O'Kelly was working with his feet to keep them from getting to strong to carry his body and could not come to meet me, and his wife, who is interested in him and all his affairs of life, was there to take his Vol. X SAS SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 Y TO REGIST KENNEDY ENDORSED BY MASONS AT DENVER Mr. Thomas Kennedy, Editor Kansas City Advocate: Kansas City, Kansas.

NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH FOR COLORED PEOPLE TO HAVE BLOCK PARTY. On July 30 and 31, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, Church of Our Lady, the new Catholic colored church that has lately been organized in this city, will put on a Block party on Walnut boulevard, between Troup avenue and Parallel avenue. They are at the present holding services in the building at the corner of Tenth street and Walker avenue, which is nicely equipped. Their priest is a young man and is greatly interested in his work and with a small number of members are making a sacrifice for the erection of a new church. All the other churches of this denomination are giving their support to assist this congregation in building. There will be no admission to this Block Party either night and a goodly sum is expected to be raised toward their building fund. place. A man is in good luck when he can get hold of a good wife and this is what happened to O'Kelly. They did not carry me to Method, but he had called up the Arcade hotel and told the proprietor to provide the best room in the house for me, and I am here to tell you that they have some real good rooms. It is a real hotel. Mrs. P. T. Hall was awaiting my arrival; and honey she is one more pleasant lady, full of hospitality. They have a fine lobby, fine office, and honey they do some cooking in that hotel, but I went out to eat some of the cooking of Mrs. O'Kelly. Her husband must have asked God for this remarkable woman. She is devoted to her work, that is keeping house and entertaining Mr. Berry's company. She is just making another man out of him. I was delighted to be in her company. They have running water in each room. I spent Sunday in town, and Sunday night at Method at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O'Kelly. Monday morning I started for this place, and I am right here and here on time. This is the meeting place of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and I had been invited here by Grand Chancellor J. W. Jones, M. D., and Grand Master of Exchequer J. M. Avery, and accepted the invitation. I reached the town, and the chairman of the committee was away, and he had already assigned me a stopping place, but the others did not know just where it was, hence they sent me to a place to spend the night. It was a nice home, the home of a widow. Tuesday morning H. S. Byas reached the city and told me that I was to stop at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Ramsey, just a few doors from the church where the meeting was to be held. I got breakfast, went down the hill a short distance, and called, and a brilliant little woman came to the door, and told me that she was Mrs. Josephine Ramsey. She looked into my lily black face, and said that she thought she was to have some men from up in the East. But as I had been sent there by Mr. Byas she would receive me. I soon had my things in there, and I tell you they have a late up-to-date modern home. Mr. Ramsey is a man who has earned his way. He is a man who has worked and saved his money and invested it for his comfort, for his wife is just the queen of her home. At present he is holding down an important job in Vermont, in a town called Rutland, and he is just sending the "In God We Trust" home and his wife is taking care of it. There were four or five who stopped in this palatial home, and I shall never forget the kind treatment. (Continued on page 4.) J. A. BROADNAX, G. M.

Mrs. Porter, wife of the superintendent, responded and thanked the board and invited them to return at any time. Mr. Porter took the party through the home and they found it to be in excellent condition and in perfect sanitary condition. Quite a good number are colored and all seem to be well satisfied. They showed their appreciation to the visitors and all asked them to return soon. HELP!!! Mrs. H. D.

Williams and Alva, his wife, purchased a dandy 7-room modern home at 2058 North Fourth street. These people also own a nice home at 253 Mable, but realize the importance of investing. One of the best purchases to be made by a young couple whom ranks among our best was made by Stanley Grant and wife Bernice (Scott) Grant, a nice 5-room California bungalow at 1216 North 12th street. See it, it is a dream. Mr. A. T. Jacques and Mrs. Bertha Jacques purchased a nice modern home, of late design at 1214 North 12th street. This place has all lots built in features for home comforts.

Hnlf a loaf is sometimes better than no chance to leaf at all. A man's pride would be vanity if possessed by his neighbor. Wishing for things is as far in ambition as some people get. Some of the revolutions brought about are only somersaults. What is the use of a fashionable suit if one is going to be slouchy? If some men's reputations were visible they would look like porous plasters. Not often does the "fool killer" really slay. He only opens a man's eyes.

No Need to Bother With the Middleman A farmer of German descent entered the drug store of a small Ohio town, as the story was told at the Salesmanship luncheon recently by Martin L. Pierce of Canton, Ohio, expert in industrial relations. "I want an undertaker," he announced to the druggist, who, as it happened, was president of the local Salesmanship club. "Why, who's dead?" the druggist inquired sympathetically. "Nobody's dead, but my wife's sick, so I want an undertaker," the farmer repeated. "You don't mean an undertaker, you want a doctor; I'll get you one," the druggist replied reaching for the phone. "Oh, no, I don't; I want an under-taker," the man insisted. "Ain't we been hearing at every meeting of the Salesmanship club how we should eliminate the middleman?"—Houston Post.

The lesson was well reviewed by our pastor. New pupils are added to the membership weekly. At the morning service, 11 o'clock, our pastor, preached a wonderful sermon, choosing for his subject "Prayer." All those who heard this spiritual sermon were greatly uplifted. There were "showers of blessings" for all with open hearts to receive them. The League had a splendid discussion at 6:30 p. m. Visitors always welcome.

Making Progress Hiram walked four miles over the mountains to call on the lady of his dreams. For a long time they sat silent on a bench by the side of her log cabin home; but soon the moon, as moons do, had its effect and Hiram sided closer to her and picked up her hand. "Mary," he began, "y' know I got a good clearin' over thar an' a team an' wagon an' some hawgs an' cows, an' I call' late on buildin' a house this fall an'—" Here he was interrupted by Mary's mother, who had awakened. "Mary!" she called in a loud voice. "Is that young man thar yit?" Back came the answer, "No, ma, but he's gittin' thar."—Everybody's Magazine. Not a Bright Prospect "Got a new cook, I see," remarked Mr. Subbubs on arriving at his happy home as dusk was beginning to obliterate Lake Michigan. "Yea," responded his wife briefly. "How long is she likely to remain?" "Only a few days at best." "I would not be so pessimistic, my dear. Why do you say that?" "I gather from her talk that her last mistress was practically perfect, yet she only remained there a month." THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Supreme Ice Cream AND 1016 North 4th St. Drex 3644 Kansas City, Kan METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES. Many persons desiring to hear the pure and unadulterated word of God assembled at Metropolitan Baptist church, Sunday, July 20. Pastor Bronson preached a wonderful sermon on the subject "And Jesus increased in stature and wisdom." He portrayed the youthful life of Jesus in an instructive and spiritual manner. Preceding the sermon Mr. F. Fitchue directed the congregation enthusiastically in singing the good old gospel hymns, while Professor Langston directed the choir. The pipe organ and piano were used at the same time and the people certainly enjoyed the song service. At the close of the sermon several united with the church. A Spaniard from South America sang several songs in Spanish to tunes of our Christian hymns. At 8 p. m. as a lady from the Methodist church asked for Baptism, Pastor Bronson preached on the greatest Baptism the world ever had, ie e., "The Baptism of Jesus." He took his text from Mark, 1st chapter, "Thou are my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." It was a most wonderful sermon and one of his masterpieces. In part, he showed where Christ taught Baptism by immersion (1) as an example (2) he showed all power was vested in Him (3) that it is a sacrifice, etc. He also said He came straightway up out of the water, and could not have come out of a bowl or pitcher. The true followers of Jesus made exclamations of approval and the one baptized in the pool shouted for joy. The choirs led the congregation in singing but some were not in the choir loft. The Senior Choir had more present than the Junior Choir. Rev. Batie of Michigan was present and Mr. Reese, who has been sick, was present and praised the church members for being so kind to him. Mrs. Hattie Miller, one of the charter members, was reported sick. Mrs. Parker's mother's funeral was announced. A partial report on the Premium Rally was asked for this Sunday, July 27th. Pastor Bronson says he is getting very strong and can preach without getting tired. The Sunday School is doing fine, also the B. Y. P. U. They picnicked with the C. E. and other B. Y. P. U.'s at Swope Park this Thursday. Next Sunday, July 27, more great sermons will be preached and at 3 p. m. the Music School will render a program.

DOING AWAY WITH TEDIUM OF TRAVEL The phrase "the tedium of travel" will speedily become meaningless, so far as long-distance railway journeys are concerned, if other companies follow the lead of the London & Northeastern and run "cinema coachea," says London Tit-Bits. Experiments recently carried out on long-distance trains proved conclusively that even on trains travelling at express speed films can be shown with results as good as in a first-class picture theater. True, a few difficulties from oscillation and so on had to be overcome, but these have now been dealt with successfully. The coach used as railway filmtheater by the London & Northeastern was not specially constructed for that purpose. A coach in storage was taken out, dismantled, refitted, shuttered and equipped with operator's room and screen. Power was supplied by the train's electric-lighting system and the auditorium was seated for thirty people. All cinema-theater regulations have been strictly observed in the construction of this railway picture house.

DORSEY GREEN, Atty. for Plff (First Publication July 25, 1924.) Since Jean Ware, the noted horticulturist, is spending most of her time in her Hollywood foothills garden, she permits her husband to look after many of the household details, when he's home. The result was that Frank unwittingly bought a head of cabbage, mistaking it for lettuce. "My goodness!" exclaimed Jean, "you must have bought that from an itinerant peddler!" "I don't think so," protested Frank. "He looked to me like an Italian." —Los Angeles Times. Older and Wiser "When I was a young man I worked 12 hours a day." Son—I admire your youthful energy, dad, but I admire still more the mature wisdom which led you to stop it. The Continent. DRUGGIST Very Deep THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Knots have vast magical importance in Asiatic life, for they represent to the Asiatic mind the favorite psychoanalytic condition of repression. The mogul emperors refer in their annals to matters of state in the favorite phrase, "falling into the knot of delay." The Korean expressly refers to "the evil blowers upon knots," an act that baffles their untying. Knots tied in magical numbers upon a string, accompanied by a curse, are supposed to bring confusion upon an enemy. It is hard to get a servant in India to cut a string around a parcel; he prefers to unravel the knot. Indian merchants are fond of adding sealing wax to knots or parcels for the post because, as one told me, it increases the perplexity of untying. Other methods are the use of charmed wlics, papers inscribed with the lamp charm and burned with perfumes, while the patient possessed by the demon stares into the light. A fever of ague is thus treated: Take some olive leaves on a Saturday while in a state of purity, and write on one "Hell Is Hungry," on another "Hell Is Thirsty," on a third "Hell Is Refreshed." Put them in a bag and blind on the left arm of the patient. After the cure they must be cast into a well or river. Certain diseases are cured by winding threads around the thumbs or the great toes at night for a fortnight. Quartan ague is cured in northern India by winding a cord seven times around an acacia, after which the patient embraces the tree. Nor are Coue methods absent. The patient must frequently adjure the evil spirit of disease to depast.—W. G. Tinckom-Fernandez in the New York Times. Gold Common to Incas When the Spanlards first came to the highlands of South America they found many strange things being done by inhabitants who lived all the way from what is now Ecuador to the northern part of Chile. These people, known as the Incas, smelted copper, wove cloth, built houses of heavy masonry, embalmed dead bodies and used gold for household cooking, eating and drinking vessels. This last was their undoing, for while they put a value on gold only as something to use like any other metal, the Spanlards prized it as we do. These people were—and their descendants are yet—inveterate users of coca, says the Detroit News. This is leaves from the tree of the plant from which cocaine is extracted. For long feats of endurance they took a small package of these leaves and constantly kept a wad of them in their mouths wrapped around a small bit of unslaked lime to free the cocaine and other alkaloids contained in the coca leaves.

If a woman desires an early reply to a letter she should never give it to her husband to mall. When a man says that all women are alike he has had an experience with at least one of them. Tombstones are cold and cheerless, yet they always have a good word for everyone under them.—Ex. Elephants Increasing Persons fond of pets will be delighted to know that the size of the world's elephant tribe is increasing. There was a danger at one time that these animals would be entirely wiped out by the gunners from all over the world who went to Africa for the purpose of getting a shot at some real big game, and incidentally the ivory which they might gather up at the same time. A few years ago it is said that as many as 70,000 were killed annually, says the Providence Journal. In some localities the slaughter was checked by laws protecting the elephant, but what is said to have been the greatest boon to the big animal was the war, which had the effect of keeping the so-called sportsmen away from their haunts The world's supply of real ivory at present is said to be 250 tons annually.

Forced to Shoe Bulls Some Arizona cattlemen are providing their bulls with shoes to protect their feet from the rough rocks of the mountain ranges. The United States Department of Agriculture reports that the shoes are similar to those worn by oxen used for road work. Cattlemen say that heavy bulls brought to Arizona from the soft ground of the Middle West are slow to get their feet hardened to the rocky slopes on much of the Arizona range, with the result that the animals stay around the waterholes in the valleys and get little to eat. The result is the breeding of weak cows, which also remain near the water. Sometimes the bulls get up on the flat hilltops and refuse to come down over the rocky sides to water. Shoeling the bulls helps to solve the dilemma. --- --- PAGE THREE . Clark rance REXEL 1525 Over Drug Store Orders Delivered Free and Quickly Gardens WANT HAIR North Ninth Street O.

MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) Mrs. Ramsey treated me like I was her brother and I enjoyed it so very much. Now then will come that business organization, the Grand Lodge. The Knights of Pythias in this state have a brainy institution, filled with men of character and worth, men of brains. They opened Tuesday at noon, and Wednesday at 5:30 all business was over, they were then and there ready to go home. Now what do you think of this? I am leaving here Thursday for Manhattan, Kansas, via Chicago and Kansas City. I am to be with Rev. S. W. Bacote July 27, and I am to write up Charles Stewart, for he is to speak there on that date, and Dr. Bacote told me that if I would come along with him he would give me something to eat but did not promise me anywhere to stay. He lives in a small house, and does not have room to entertain guests, but he will provide for them. There is room enough in the parsonage for me and I think I will go right there. I mean I will go to 813 East Tenth street, Kansas City, Mo., the home of Dr. E. Wittenburg. He is my friend. You may send me a letter there if you desire to do so. Now about the Grand Lodge, they have some of our leading men. Dr. J. W. Jons, of Winston-Salem is the grand chancellor, and he is one of the leading physicians of North Carolina. He is a man with great power, and then there is the financier of the race, J. M. Avery, vice-president of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, and it is the largest and wealthiest company we have with C. C. Spaulding, president, and J. M. Avery, who is a business and financier vice-president, and then they have other officers in keeping with these. He is the Master of Exchequer, and you may know it is in keeping with the order. He made one more report. He is active in the African Methodist Episcopal church and was a delegate to the general conference and servied on some of the important committees, and was a commissioner for the next general conference. He stood right by Ira T. Bryant, and will be in the next general conference. But I am reaching the place where I bring this letter to a stop. I have had a few things to say to you and I have met a few people. It seemed that all the business end of looking after the Grand Lodge was on this H. S. Byas, and he was strong enough to hold up his end of it. I will have something else to say. Get ready now for the General Conference of the church, but you had better get ready for the National Negro Business League. It will meet August 20 in the city of Chicago, and then Chicago people are going to put the big pot in the little one. All will nave a big time if they will attend. J. O. MIDNIGHT Who Plants a Tree The really important bit of news that there were as many as 70,000 enroiled tree planters in the United States last year reminds us afresh of the good work of the American Tree association. The only duty for membership in that far-ranging fraternity is that one shall set out a tree—a service to which every citizen and particularly every homemaker should turn with delight. Choosing a Vacation Oscar had finally completed his education and now wished to be an architect. His father did not like it. "Nonsense!" said he. "There'll be practically no building for years you'll have nothing to do." "That's exactly the reason," said Os- "That's exactly the reason," said Oscar. "Meggendorfer Blatter (Münch). Has Ancient Flavor At the Coffee club Friday, among other, witty jokes, this one was told: "The rudder and the anchor of a ship entered into a dispute over the issue of which was the most important to the vessel. Each felt that it occupied this pre-eminent place. But after a time the anchor grew tired of the argument, run itself out and told the rudder that "you can now go where you dern please." The president of the club tried to prove that this one came from Joe Miller's joke book, but failed.—Houston Post. Most Ancient Pen The oldest known writing utensil in the form of a bone stylus for writing cuneiform has been dug up at Kish, Professor Langdon, director of the researches there, reports. He says that many scholars have vainly tried to reconstruct the instrument. The stylus is a triumph of simplicity. It is a bone, six inches long, with a triangular cross-section and pared ends. After a little practice Professor Langdon was able to make cuneiform inscriptions on clay with fair rapidity. The Radio Worm To the writing beetle, the bookworm and the bug that eats lead sheathing off the telephone cables we now must add the radio-set earwig. Mr. H. E. Adshead in the Wireless World (London) reports that so many of these humble insects have delighted to crawl into the hole in his telephone jack that it has been necessary to insert a small plug in order to keep them out. Some of the insects have been found even inside the cases of earphones. 1 Vote for Forest B. Anderson, regular Republican candidate for representative of the Eighth district, who has the unanimous endorsement of the "Citizens' Political League" and the "Universal Negro Improvement Association," and other civic bodies. If elected, he will propose among other things, the following legislation: 1. A civil rights law that will take the Fourteenth amendment out of that class of dead letters and put it in force. 2. A law prohibiting the use of the word "negro" in connection with crime, as now practiced by the daily newspapers. 3. A law placing the matter of examining electricians and plumbers under State control, the fact that colored men find it hard to get a license from the city. 4. A law forbidding race segregation in the matter of buying real estate. Mr. Anderson lives at 419 Minnesota avenue, eighth precinct, second ward, and is an attorney-at-law. By L. F.
