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.

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.

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.

Tree That Pinched Your “Tall Ones From Vermont,” writes a correspondent of the Youth's Companion, reminds me of 2 story a man told in my home when I was a boy. He sald 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 ronning up the side. And—would you belleve it?—that tree ‘was fall of coons, and every time they breathed they opened the crack a Uttle, and when they exhaled the tree rack closed and pinched him in the back! His Frank Opinion An Englishman and a Scotchman were discussing the Darwinian the- ory, according to Clarence Milheiser, Houston attorney, and after prolonged argument both men had reached a point where they were almost in agreement, “So,” seid the Englishman, “we are both agreed that we have de- scended from the monkey?” ‘The Scot was silent for a moment and then replied: “Well, not exactly. My opinion ts that the English descended and the Beotch ascended!”"—Houston Post. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER. OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH Located Cor Eighth and Nebrasks C. E. BROOKS, Pastor.

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.
