KANSAS Kans. Hist. Society. THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION TO BE SEPTEMBER 10-15 THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION TO BE SEPTEMBER 10-15 Will Be About the Last of National Meetings for This Year Chicago, Ill., August 28.—The silver anniversary of the National Negro Business League has just passed into history, and we are now facing the session of the National Baptist convention, September 10-15, in Nashville, Tenn., and then there will be other state meetings to follow it, but I think about all the National meetings which are to be held will be over, and the deeds of this year will be a matter of history. Before taking up any other matters, let me say to you, that if you are going to attend the National Baptist Convention to be held in Nashville, Tenn., and want to be able to buy a round trip ticket, just drop a line to Prof. R. B. Hudson, Selma, Ala., and he will furnish you with a certificate which you may secure the rate. It will be necessary that you get this document from Secretary Hudson. If you could just attend one session of the National Negro Business League, I am sure that you would thank God for making you to belong to this race with its history in front of it. To take in this great history making epoch, and let those who are to follow you, read of your deeds. I heard some wonderful things and met some wonderful men last week, and I am still rejoicing over the face. The success of this League shows how the mind of man is in harmony with God and how he can make his way into the hearts of men, and this tells of the great work, the constructive brain, and the loving heart of the late Booker T. Washington, the founder of the National Negro Business League. He planted this seed just 25 years ago, and it is still growing, and honey my people are getting in shape to do things. Booker Washington planted the seed, and when the time came, he put aside everything and stepped home to heaven, and he was followed by one of the greatest geniuses of the age, Dr. Robert R. Moten. He is truly successor to Dr. Washington, and he is just putting things over. You come into the world, and you lay the foundation, and then comes along the other fellow and he reaps the name and fortune, for he finishes the work begun by you, and that is the way the world is made up. We pluck cluster from vines other generations planted, we admire pictures and states others' hands carved and painted; we sing the song that the past did write, and speak languages that generations long since did fashion; and our happiness is through law and institutions other generations thought out. What part are you playplaying in life? What are you doing to bless humanity? I have tried to study the wonderfulness of Dr. Robert R. Moton, and I do not understand him all the way yet. -He is a wonder and a servant of the people. He is a great man, because he keeps his mind tuned in harmony with the Infinite—God. I was present when this wonderful organization was called to order by Editor R. S. Abbott, of the Chicago Offender, the paper that is doing so much to reach the unreached and to plead the cause of my people. He is a leader of men—yes of women too, and he is devoting his life now in trying to get others in harmony with God, to do his will and render service. I think he is coming along well. I just could not hold my people as I heard the story of the struggle of some of the most successful business men in the world. They are inspiring others, and causing the black boy to look up and "Tse going to follow that and this myself." During this session I met lawyers, bankers, merchants, college presidents and professors, then just the ordinary teacher; editors, newspaper men and women—in fact all class, trades professions and business were called into life and let others know just what they are doing. When Editor Abbott called the meeting to order, he made some remarks, and then after the opening (Continued on page 3.) ! . —SUBSCRIPTION PRICE— TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 ANNUAL REUNION OF THE ROBINSON-STEWARTS.

She leaves a devoted husband, Mr. Primus Smith, and a loving daughter, Mrs. Mary B. Young. Must Produce Food Compulsory cultivation of food crops has been ordered throughout several departments by the Peruvian government, in view of the persistent drought in that country. The haciendas and farms of the department of Inca and the provinces of Chancay, Lima, Calloa and Canete are required without exception to devote a minimum of 5 per cent of their cultivated lands to the exclusive sowing of articles of food. On to Man's Estate Bobby's first day at school was a lonesome day for his mother. When he returned home she petted him and welcomed him with baby talk. He squared his shoulders and said, "Mamma, I wish you wouldn't talk girl talk to me any more. I'm learning man talk now." "Mother Looks af Forgives Anything Understa PR MA EM --- "YES WE WILL COME AGAIN" To Celebrate Emancipation Proclamation This time bigger, better, and more interesting than ever. The celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation will take place at Heathwood Park, September 22, at which time it is expected that it will be as good as the best we have yet had—while we have a healthy determination to make it decidedly better. The several committeemen, who are now soliciting the business and professional men, for what they will donate towards making the affair a credit to our group; will report at the League rooms Tuesday evening, at which time it will be learned how much has been obtained. And that having been ascertained—the joint committee from all the churches, which will also be there, can, and will immediately take steps to perfect plans and arrangements. Everything points to a glowing success, with everybody taking part and bearing his proper proportion of the burden. This is pre-eminently the affair, and business of all the people, and it is indeed refreshing to see them get behind and push it forward, to the success which will crown it. CITY BRIEFS AND IN SOCIETY. Mr. Byron D. Baskerville, 1137 Grandview boulevard, left Sunday night for Los Angeles, Cal., to make his future home. His wife and children will join him later.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. GATHERED REMARKS Rattle of dry bones is heard in the dice cup. Fair words gladden so many a heart.—Longfellow. The only way to make men speak good of us is to do good. If things fall to come your way go around and head them off. A man isn't necessarily polished be cause you can see his finish. It is better to marry a crying wom an than a hair-pulling one. When a man marries he saddles another mortgage on his life. Many a man who eats ple with a knife wishes he bad an ax. Awhile you live, tell truth, and shame the devll.—Shakespeare. If all the talkers were fighters the world would soon be depopulated. Good manners and soft words have brought many difficult things to pass. Without labor there were no ease, no rest, so much as conceivable.—Carlyle. To have the feeling of gentility it is not necessary to have been born gentle. A man who is satisfied with what he has, usually delights chiefly in the pleasures of the intellect. It is joyful to think that breaking a handglass doesn't bring as much ill luck as breaking a big mirror. GO FROM COLLEGE TO MARRIAGE ALTAR To judge from statistics compiled at Goucher college, marriage continues to be the most popular vocation among the students. Of nine different kinds of occupations in which 2,270 Goucher alumnae are engaged, 979, or about 40 per cent are "married and are intelligent homemakers." More than 90 per cent, or 2,050, including the 979 married coeds, are listed as being engaged in "the duties of home and society." The unmarried graduates are occupied as follows: 633 are teaching or are engaged in the work of educational administration; 172 are in business; 119 are in social work; 52 are in scientific work; 23 are physicians; 28 are librarians; nine are doing statistical work; 42 are doing varied work, such as encouraging community music, sponsoring community dramatics and other activities.—Chicago News. Tree That Pinched Your "Tall Ones From Vermont," writes a correspondent of the Youth's Companion, reminds me of a story a man told in my home when I was a boy. He said he went coon hunting one night. Soon the hound struck a hot trail and after a short run began baying up a large oak. The tree had two or three promising holes, and as the man was meditating whether to climb it or to cut it he leaned against a smaller tree. Soon he felt something pinch his back and then again two or three times. He turned to investigate and found that the tree was hollow and had a small crack running up the side. And—would you believe it?—that tree was full of coons, and every time they breathed they opened the crack a little, and when they exhaled the tree crack closed and pinched him in the back! His Frank Opinion An Englishman and a Scotchman were discussing the Darwinian theory, according to Clarence Milhelser, Houston attorney, and after prolonged argument both men had reached a point where they were almost in agreement. "So," said the Englishman, "we are both agreed that we have descended from the monkey?" The Scot was silent for a moment and then replied: "Well, not exactly. My opinion is that the English descended and the Scotch ascended!"—Houston Post. --- THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH Located Cor Eighth and Nebraska. C. E. BROOKS, Pastor.

The pastor's text, St. John 3-16, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Subject, "The Greatest Love Known." He made great stress on the need of love for humanity, love for our neighbor and on Love for Our Supreme Being, which should exceed all others. We all enjoyed his discourse and the Spirit of the Lord was in the meeting. This being our Speaking Meeting Day, or Fourth Sunday, the evening and night services were given mostly to the members speaking service. The contributions were good. 2 persons were added to the church. The Mission Circle meets every Monday night. Prayer meeting every Wednesday night. Choir every Friday night.

Hubby at Home "I told you to stay in the house while I was gone," stormed his wife. "Why did you leave?"

Call Fair- fax 0380 Or 4422 --- THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE J. O. MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) prayer had the addresses of welcome, and when they were through telling them how welcome they were then Dr. Moton was introduced, and had the responses. The responding men were Mr. Roddy, the business genius and banker from Memphis, Tenn., and the other man was Hon. Perry W. Howard, assistant attorney general of the United States. Both were great men and made speeches in keeping with their dignity. Just accept of this if you please. Mr. Howard is helping to keep things in order in the United States government, holding a responsible position. Getting through with the welcome addresses, then Dr. Moton made some remarks, and followed the prepared program. The old timers, the men who took part in the organization had some say. I am here to tell you they were few. The first in order was Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durnam, N. Do you know him? He is the grand master of Masons for the whole state, and then he is more than that, because he is an educator. He established a training school, known as "Rational Religious Training School," and it made such wonderful progress, and doing such good work, until the state decided that it was just the thing needed, and took it in, so now it is a state institution, and Dr. Shepard is still the president. He is a wonderful speaker, and an educator of the first rank. He made a great speech, and I was delighted to hear him. Next, found me in contact with C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Durham, N. C., and if you remember I have told you about this great company before. It is without a doubt, the oldest, the strongest and the wealthiest in this country, and it is constantly spreading over other states. The president is a man of vision, a man of ability, and a businessman, and associated with him is that business genius of the race, J. M. Avery. I have tried to make you know him, because of his wonderful ability, and what he is doing for his race in many particulars. He is an active layman in the African Methodist Episcopal church, and a man with power. He had much to say in the last general conference his church held in Louisville, Ky. I was right there and saw the things go through. Mr. Spaulding is superintendent of one of the largest, if not the very largest Sunday School in America, the White Rock Baptist Sunday School of Durham, N. C. Now you see the combination, president Baptist, vice-president Methodist? That means things happening. Now you talk about education and educators, I met two men who represented their work, and they made some speeches. You will recall how North Carolina went up into the million dollar business, providing for our schools in the state. I told you about the one which was taken over by Dr. Shepard, and Prof. B. F. Bullock, connected with the A. & T.L college of the state, made a wonderful address on "Education" and he was followed by Berry O'Kelly, of Methodi, N. C. He told about what a wonderful agriculture man Professor Bullock was. He paid a tribute to what he termed one of America's greatest men in educational lines, Professor N. G. Newhold, who had charge of the educational work among my people in the state. It seemed to me that Mr. Newbold was well known, for when his name was mentioned by O'Kelly he received an enthusiastic ovation from all those present. So well is he in the hearts of my people that Dr. Robert R. Moton paid him a word of praise. Then Mr. O'Kelly paid his respects to the department of Vocational Education, headed by A. T. E. Brown, director, and he spoke of E. R. Garrett, director of industrial education at A. & T. college, and spoke of other great men in the state, A. B. Simmons, Professor Hudson, extension director, and J. D. Wray. I enjoyed getting the information which was dished out by Mr. O'Kelly. It is a great thing to meet these great newspapermen, and I met Editor R. S. Abbott, of the Defender, and he shook my lily black hand and declared he was delighted to meet Col. J. O. Midnight. Editor Rice was on hand, and if you recall he is editor of the Dallas Express, one of the best papers published. Mr. Rice is a well trained man, and connected with the Dallas High school. He is a professor of the highest rank. Speaking of the Dallas Express, the real power behind the throne, Clarence Starks, is a man of but few words, but a wonder in business matters. He is the son of his father in all implied in the word. I have not told you about the wonderful address made by Dr. Robert R. Moton, but will do so in another letter. I wish you could have been here. I wish you could have seen things. I heard that masterpiece, and without a doubt Dr. Robert R. Moton is one of the greatest men in this race of ours. I saw Secretary Holsey, but could not get close enough to him to give him a red ankle. I want to get in my mind that he is a very busy man, or perhaps I was so dark I shaded myself to the extent that he could not see me. I am small potatoes few in a hill. That session of the National Negro Business League has passed into history, and the next great thing now is that "Million Dollar" organization which is destined to be the greatest thing ever launched by the race, and with Dr. Robert R. Moton as president, they are able to do some real work. This is the latest thing, and believe me when I tell you the money is being raised. It will push us in business. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop, and in doing so, I want to tell Mr. Andrew Daris, Jr., of 705 North Line street, Mineola, Texas, who wrote me such a nice letter, I am glad to find him struggling for an education, that he has made up his mind to make of his head something more than a mere hat rack, that he is going to let this world know that he has passed through it. It just thrills my heart to get such letters from young men and women. Some of the strongest men, the men who have accomplished things, are men and women who had to do just what he is doing earn their education. Read the lives of such men—that is to say read biography of men and you will see how they had to make it. Get inspiration from Booker T. Washington "Up From Slavery," then read the life of Robert R. Moton, and I could mention others. Time will not permit me to go into all. When you read this letter I will have gotten rid of the Chicago dust. Write to me sometime. A letter will reach me 1341 Third street, N. W. Washington, D. C. I am going some. TIME TO LAUGH Certainly Little Boy—Sheep are the dumbest animals. Mother (absently)—Yes, my lamb.

They came from Russia. When Poland was still Russian territory and the Germans were advancing during the war, the bells were taken from the towers and churches and shipped to the Russian interior, for it was known that the Germans had stripped every invaded country of its brass bells. Now the bells have come back. The new chimes in the Warsaw cathedral pealed a merry welcome. The Warsaw opera gave a special concert consisting of selections all related to bells. Twelve thousand bells are still in Russia, but they are on their way and the Polish villages which have not heard that sweet melody of their merry carilons for nearly seven years, will rejoice with special celebrations when they arrive. Carilons and chimes are often a matter of great local pride. In Flinders and Holland there exists often a centuries-old naive rivalry among the different communities over the most beautiful bells. Indian Office Works The recent trip made by Secretary Work and Indian Commissioner Burke to survey health conditions among the southwestern Indians has produced definite results. A crusade to eradicate trachoma among the Indians of New Mexico and Arizona was inaugurated on July 1, under the direction of a special physician of the Indian office, assisted by surgeons of the United States public health service. Indian school buildings will be used as temporary trachoma hospitals during the vacation period, according to Indian Truth. Three operating units will be maintained in the field, each headed by a special physician with a corps of Indian employees sufficient to carry on the work of examining and treating efficiently and expeditiously Indian patients suffering with trachoma. Similar groups of medical experts will be organized later by the bureau of Indian affairs in an endeavor to eradicate trachoma on any other reservations where that disease exists. Not Enthusiastic : A young man in a northern city believes that he possesses one of the meanest and most unnatural parents in the world. Recently the old man took a holiday, and in his absence his son secured a contract worth thousands of dollars to the firm. He scribbled a triumphant note to his father, but waited in vain for a congratulatory telegram. The next day the old man returned and took up his accustomed place without a word. "I thought my letter would give you a bit of a shock," the young man observed, after bearing the silence as long as he could. "It did that," was the reply. "Ye forgot to stamp it, ye loon and I'd excess to pay on it." Danger Pointed Out A glided youth went into a doctor's office for a nasal treatment, the office boasting one of those machines which spray pine balsam and other soothing medicaments. The doctor pointed out that he was very busy, but that the nurse in attendance could administer the treatment quite as well. To this the youth assented with a supercilious smile. And as the nurse was making things ready he heard the physician say to her in a loud whisper: "Now, be careful or you'll blow his brains out." At Cross Purposes One of the joys of bus-top excursions is in the scraps of talk heard during the traffic lulls. "Just look at that dreadful woman giving her dog a drink from a public cup!" exclaimed an indignant woman. "Yes," agreed her equally indignant companion. "Perfectly dreadful. Those Pekes so easily catch distemper!"—London Chronicle. And Live Happily Producer—You must change this ending; I want a play that ends happily.
