KANSAS Vol. XI J. O. TO BE PRESENT AT SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS NEXT WEEK AT WICHITA Beaumont, Texas, June 18.—Here I am this week at the home of Dr. and Mrs. C. B. Charlton, but honey before you can say scat I will be away headed for some other part of these mundane shores, and none of you will be able to stop me. I have been going some since I wrote you about the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias, one of the greatest organizations in America, and the wealthiest fraternal society in this country among my people, and it would crowd any other people to touch it. This is due to the fact that they have a leader, and that leader is W. S. Willis, a well educated Christian gentleman, and a man with wonder power and a leader among men. He is honored and respected by people of both races, and I am proud to tell you this. I told you about the money handled by this wonderful organization in my other letter, hence it will not be necessary for me to tell you again in this letter, hence you just look wise and keep your mouth closed. When the Grand Lodge closed, I got with Bishop William Decker Johnson, of the African Methodist Episcopal church, and we just pulled across the country for another part of the world. We rode the International & Great Northern iron horse carriage from Waco, to Houston, where we spent just forty minutes, and went out to see Dr. T. V. Overton. Found him in the drugstore and busy as could be looking after the sick people. I do not mean in the drugstore but in his office, and when I talked with him he sent us back to the stable in his automobile car carriage, and soon we were on our way to New Orleans. There were two carriages of people returning from Waco, and they cut them off at Beaumont. Don't ask me what happened to the old iron horse, for I do not know, but I do know that he got in New Orleans about one hour forty minutes late. But believe me when I tell you that Dr. B. G. Dawson was right there with his automobile car carriage to tote us wherever we desired to go. I went to the home of the Porches, and they received me like I was a brother or something also, and so treated me. But Grace was down in bed, sick, hence that put some sadness on this visit. But she was able to broadcast over the radio and get some better before I left. They do some broadcasting in New Orleans. The schools had all closed and the people were down to business. But let me here pause, before discussing New Orleans. While on the iron horse carriage, Bishop Johnson read to me in a paper where Mrs. Bocker T. Washington, had crossed over into the Great Beyond, and was with us no more. She died Thursday evening, June 5, and I learned that she would be buried at Tuskegee on Tuesday at 5:30, and I had planned to go, but after talking with a physician he advised me not to go, and this was to me a stroke of real sadness. I recalled how hard she tried to make me comfortable when I was sick in the hospital in Tuskegee Institute. She had sent to me daily ice cream, and it was fine for me during my illness there. It was February 5, that Dr. Dibble stuck that human cutting knife into me, and on that same day in June, Mrs. Washington who was so kind left us. I am sure you will remember Mrs. Docker T. Washington, because she was one of the most remarkable and most useful women in the whole race. At Tuskegee she was not a mere wall flower, the wife of Docker T., during his life time, but during his life, and since his death she devoted a real busy life there. She was at the head of activities among girls at Dorothy Hall, and she was an expert in her line. Out in the world, she worked for the betterment of women, and her whole life went out for the womanhood of her race. At one time she was president of that wonderful organization among women, and worked hard there, and then took part in everything that meant good. In her death we have lost a friend and an advocate. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER It is but another friend gone over to welcome us when we shall gross. She will be missed by us all. Her place is vacant. Others may do the work, but none will ever fill the place that this remarkable woman filled in our racial life. She is not dead but sleepeth to await the arrival of others of us to join her. I hope she is with our sainted friend Bocker T. Washington. I spent Saturday, Sunday and Monday in New Orleans, and left there Tuesday morning on the Henry Allen Boyd Special for this place. You see I had been mingling with the people of New Orleans, the place where my people are not killed with enterprises, but some day they will wake up. I believe we have more Catholics to the square inch there than any city in the United States. People each with some particular Virgin to plead their cause and look after their salvation. People who make their confession to "Father" and he will forgive their sins. People who have no dealing with Jesus Christ direct, and they have the velvet handed priest to read the Bible for them. But I am not talking about that this time, for it is their business and none of mine. How about this Boyd Special, it was coming here for the Congress. This special train started from Nashville, and landed in New Orleans with 105 people, headed for the meeting. One bed car containing Dr. C. H. Clark and his people were cut off and attached to the Gulf Coast Lines while the others used the Southern Pacific, and I got with them. They had two standar dsleepers, one tourist, two day coaches, one eating car, and honey that man did step on the gas, and put them in Beaumont 40 minutes ahead of the schedule time. I got to town in the crowd, saw Rev. Dr. A. W. Williams, pastor of the A. M. E. church, but could not get close enough to hand him a red apple, and met his wife, spoke to her and she hardly responded. Now what has happened, I do not know, but I have asked God to give me knowledge of their seasickness. I may get a revelation later. How glad I would be, but then I cannot expect people to be friendly all the time, especially when so many Baptists were entering town. Let the future take care of itself and I will serve my Master. I met some of my old friends on this trip. There was Mrs. Lizzie Fouse, from Lexington, Ky., and she was at one time a classmate of mine in the state University, now known as Simmons University in Louisville, and she is now an active worker in the affairs of the nation and race. Rev. Dr. D. A. Over, was on hand. He is pastor in Baltimore, the North Street Baptist church, which was pastored by Dr. Harvey Johnson, and I talked with Henry Allen Boyd, the son of his father, and Rev. J. E. Woods, of Danville, Ky., moderator of the General Association of Kentucky. I met the widow of the late R. H. Boyd, and the daughter, Mattie. They were happy, and I met so many other people that time will not permit me to talk about them. Now comes the last call for the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U., Congress, June 23, in Wichita, Kansas. This is going to be one of the greatest meetings of the age. They are going to be there from everywhere. Dr. D. W. Cannon, of Atlanta, Georgia, is the president, and Dr. H. K. Hill, of Orlando, Fla., is the corresponding secretary. There are other officers, and then you will come in touch with some real experts in Sunday School and B. Y. P. U., Methods. This is really a school of methods. In connection with the board the executive board of the National Baptist convention will meet. This call has been made already by President Williams, and sent out by Secretary R. B. Hudson. You should try to be there because of the importance of the meeting. They will make a program for the meeting to be held in Baltimore in September. Now, here I am here this week stopping with Dr. C. B. Charlton the tooth dentist doctor, and they declare that he is one of the best in the country. This young man was born right here in town, and erected his home right next to that of his mother, and near his own advent place into the world. He got the foundation for his education here in the public schools of Beaumont, and then went off to college, and I am sure you want to know what college. He went to Howard University; college in Washington, D.C., where he not only got his education, but he got hold of that education which made him a first class tooth dentist, and learned how CITY ADVOCATE GLAD TO SEE YOU AUTO TRIPS SUMMER VISNICS (Copyright, W. N. U.) RESERVES FUNERAL PEWS FOR NEGRO MOURNERS (Columbian Press Bureau.) LITTLE ROCK, Ark., June 18. Leaving instructions for the conducting of her funeral services, Mrs. Margaret T. Rose, who recently died in this city had provided that: "Pews on one side of the pulpit are to be reserved for the. Negroes who have done much for me; have waited on me and kept me from drudgery all of my life; and I have never received one act of unkindness from many of them." LILLIE SMITH-KING DIES IN MILWAUKEE Mrs. Lillie Smith-King formerly of this city, died June 4th at 318 Niollette avenue, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She 'eaves in this city a mother, Mrs. G. E. Mosely, 930 Oakland avenue, father, daughter Naoma King a sister, Mrs. Bertha Smith-Myers and many relatives and friends. Mrs. Rosa Stephens and her two grandchildren, Linwood and Hamilton Queen, of 830 Nebraska avenue, left last Thursday for a two months' visit with relatives in Texas. to half sole teeth. He has been out of school since 1909, married 1913, and God has blessed his home with three children, two girls and one boy. That boy is to hold up his name, while the girls may select other names. Now you want to know his wife? She is from one of the best families in this town, and was in her maiden name days, Miss Juanita A. Roland, and her father and mother are yet living, and are Mr. and Mrs. James Roland, a real estate man, but has retired, and is able to retire. They were four in this family, and she was the oldest. She got her education in Beaumont, and put on the finishing touch at Prairie State School, and taught for two years and then she decided that God had placed her here to have a kindergarten of her own and make a home and a happy husband, and this she has been doing ever since she marched to the tune of that Mendelshon's Yankee Doodle wedding march. She is a happy soul and a real fine house keeper. Grand Chancellor W. S. Willis, always stops at this place, and I don't blame him, for it is headquarters. They are well fixed people and enjoy doing for their friends. Dr. Charlton is a first class bookkeeper, and if you don't believe it just lend him a book and he will certainly show you his wonderful ability. He believes in his people and is devoting his life to the work of inspiring the youth. He is active in church and Sunday School, and I wish you could see him study his Sunday School lessons, and attend prayer meeting and is in Sunday school every Sunday. He is not educated away from his people but to them. He has common sense with his education. Perhaps you want to know what I am going to say about the meeting here. I have nothing to say this week, but may talk about it next week. God bless you. Send mail for me to 1241 Wabash avenue, Wichita, Kas. MR. LEROY BOONE'S FUNERAL One of the saddest funerals ever held in this city, was Mr. Roy Boone's held Sunday, at Eighth Street Baptist church. The galleries and church was crowded and over 100 Pullman porters attended. The choir sang appropriate songs and resolutions were read from the church. Many clubs and the president of the porters made a talk praising the deceased's character; the Robinson-Stewarts Family Reunion Resolutions by Mrs. M. C. Matthews, had the only original poem. Mrs. Vida White read the obituary and Rev. D. B. Jackson gave a beautiful sermon. More men wept at this funeral than has ever been seen. The deceased leaves a loving wife, two small sons, a brother, two sisters and a host of relatives and friends who regret his demise: Mr. Roy Boone died in Los Angeles, Cal., while attending the Shriners. The Advocate and all extend sympathy to his widow and relatives.

The colored pool was just $3 less than the largest amount taken in for the day, it being 197.00, that meant that nearly 2000 rented bathing suits. Many own their suits and it was estimated that about 3,500 took a dip during the day. LeRoy Cook, park commissioner, was well satisfied with the days receipts, as well as with the management of his employees, who are in charge.

Mr. Elliott Fairfax of Huntington, W. Va., a classmate of Tilford Davis, 1116 Washington boulevard, who graduated last week at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, accompanied him home. Mr. Fairfax will spend several days here. Costly Fishing The high cost of salmon fishing in private Scottish waters has gone higher this year. For some reason the fish have refused to provide sport for the wealthy anglers as in other seasons, says a writer in the New York World. The salmon population of the River Spey this year was estimated at 300, compared with approximately 2,000 in normal seasons. A sportsman is said to have paid $3.50 weekly for the privilege of using one fishing rod. He remained five weeks and caught one fish at a cost of $17.50. Remarkable Feat William Shakespeare — the other William, who has written a book called "Plain Words on Singing"—tells an amusing incident about Lablache—the greatest hasso of all time—whom a friend of his knew intimately. At dinner one day, Lablache, full of fun, sang a long note from piano to forte and back to piano; then drank a glass of wine, without having breathed; then sang a chromatic scale up the octave in trills still in the same breath, and finally blew out a candle with his mouth open. There were giants in those days! Number 44 SEVEN COUNTIES IN SOUTH LOSE 3925 CROPPERS SEVEN COUNTIES IN SOUTH LOSE 3925 CROPPERS WASHINGTON, D. C., June 18. The system of tenant farming in the South is rapidly undergoing a change, and it appears that the "cropper" system, which has long held the colored farmers in a state of serfdom is doomed. It is a system, peculiar to the cotton-growing section of the country and has left in its trail thousands of poverty stricken and hopeless human beings. But the ravages of the boll weevil and the opening of industrial opportunities in the North are bringing about a change that should result in a readjustment of agricultural conditions in the South—a change that will be beneficial to all concerned, especially to the colored farmers who too frequently are the victims of the "naught's a naught 'na figger's a figger" method of book-keeping so generally used by their exploiters. During the five years between January 1, 1920, and January 1, 1923, thousands of these tenant farmers, mostly "croppers," have left the farms and are now engaged in industrial pursuits. Sumter County, Ga., has lost 961; Fayette County, Tennessee, 808; McCormick County, South Carolina, 790; Lincoln County, Arkansas, 592; Warren County, Mississippi, 295; Giles county, Tennessee, 286; laiborne County, Mississippi, 193, making a total of 3,925 colored farmers in seven widely separated counties. If this movement continues, there is every reason to believe that conditions more favorable to tenant farmers in the South will be urged as an economic necessity. BRIEFS There are only two colored motormen on street railways. We have 90 retail dealers in curios, antiques and novelties. Of the 5,000 females employed in button factories, 227 are colored. The knowledge of smelting land forcing iron is of ancient date throughout Africa. In Fayette County, Tennessee, there are 800 less colored farmers than five years ago. "Before" or "After the Birth of Christ" has been in general use only since the middle of the eighteenth century. Now that the South is manufacturing cotton goods on a large scale we hear less democratic objection to the protective tariff policy of the republican party. The night schools of Washington recently graduated 141 colored students from the eighth grade and from courses in domestic art, millinery and dressmaking. More than $10,000,000 worth of meat animals are sold daily in the United States. Nearly one-third of a million cattle, hogs and sheep bring this total. Mr. Leon N. Hefflin, a progressive colored citizen of Los Angeles is the president of a household furniture manufacturing company for which a modern factory is being erected. One of our "natural-born orators" recently held his audience at the Fortieth Baptist Church (there are 65 in Washington) that "The Ethiopian is prognathous and dolichocephalous." Great applause followed the statement. The total attendance at Howard University this year was 2,064 from 47 states, the British West Indies, Africa, British Guiana, Canada, Central America, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Porto Rico, Columbia and the Virgin Islands. Mrs. Leola Miller, 1010 State avenue, left last week for Claremore, Oklahoma, where she will take treatment at the springs.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. LIVED FOR YEARS Hale and hearty at the age of eighty-five years, having celebrated his birthday with a party, School Tax Collector Edward H. Frary a day later observed the sixty-first anniversary of his "death," the Buffalo News says. It was on May 6, 1864, that Mr. Frary was left on the battlefield for dead. Serving with Company A, Ninety-seventh New York volunteer infantry, Mr. Frary was wounded by a minnie ball penetrating his neck in the Battle of the Wilderness. The bullet passed through his body in such a way that it fractured a rib, injured the spinal cord, severed the nerve leading to the left arm and finally lodged in the upper part of his left lung. Unconscious, he was left on the field for dead, but was picked up many hours later when he regained consciousness and carried several miles to a hospital, from which he was discharged after three months. He was wounded just an hour before General Wadsworth, grandfather of United States Senator James W. Wadsworth of Geneseo, was killed. Experts at Work on New Potato Species The homely Irish potato may soon lose its simplicity and adopt sophisticated foreign manners if experiments now being conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture succeed, according to a bulletin issued by the department. Agricultural explorers have brought from the high Andes of Colombia and Peru rare varieties of potatoes that have a flesh as yellow as butter and a delicious nutty flavor. The tubers are a little smaller than the North American variety. Experts of the department now are engaged in crossing the new Andean potato with the common "spud." It is hoped that new forms will be developed that will combine the flavor and color of the Peruvian potato with the size and reliability of the North American tuber and one that will be readily adaptable to the climate of the United States. Luck Ray Long, editor of the Hearst's International - Cosmopolitan Magazine, tells why he doesn't believe in luck. He thinks every man gets about what he deserves. In proof he tells a story in which Sam Harris, the theatrical producer, points the moral: "Luck may be 5 per cent of life, but the other 95 per cent—which is what's in the man—always decides the outcome. I've met thousands of people everywhere, in every walk of life, and I never knew one who got much more or less than he deserved. When a chap knows medicine and Europe and five languages, and still is a waiter, something's wrong!" --- Cynical Farmers The $65,000,000 gifts of James B. Duke and George Eastman to the American people led George Jay Gould to say on disembarking from the France: "Gifts like these clear the mind of cynicism. I have just come from France, where even the farmers are cynics. The French farmer, if there was a Duke or an Eastman over there, wouldn't say cynically of friendship: "Friends stick to you like your shadow, but only, when the sun shines." All His Teeth at 116 At the age of one hundred and sixteen years Ramon Gomez recently died in Spain and although he had been a hardworking farmhand all his mature life, and was subjected to the handicap of having few facilities for dental and medical care compared with residents in the cities, he had all of his teeth at the time he died. He was not bald. He had never left his native village, and had never seen an automobile, railway train or telephone. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH C. E.

LOUISE ORME: Coat of Arms Changed The eagle and the sword on the West Point coat of arms has been reversed. For thirty years the coat of arms consisted of a perpendicularly striped shield, bearing on its face a helmet of Mars through which a sword ran diagonally downward from the right or "sluister" side. Surmounting it was an American eagle. Food for Protest There isn't much wrong in a country that doesn't afford grievances enough to feed a party of protest.Duluth Herald.

Foolish Fears French Consul Antonin Barthelmy said at a reception in Chicago: "There is no danger of a bolshevik revolution in France. Those who quake and wall over such an absurd danger as that remind me of the little boy who ran to his mother's bed in the middle of the night and sobbed: "Oh, muver, muver, I dreamed I was a stick of candy and eated myself up!" Wyoming Leads in Elk In the state of Wyoming there are more elk than in all other states and territories of the Union. The 1923 sense shows that state alone has 22,572 head. About 11,000 of these inhabit the Jackson Hole region. In the last few years elk have increased in number.

Grand Master of Masons Wife's Old Love Affair Nothing will ever convince me that husbands do not hate old love affairs in the history of their wives. Husbands have been trained by wives to say they do not care, but they do. If a woman has been engaged to two or three men before she finally lands one, and submitted to their endearments, it is a bad start. In Sacramento a man quarreled with his stepson because he ate so much butter on his hot cakes, and the row ended in a divorce. The man didn't object to the butter; he disliked his wife's former history; her former husband, the boy's father.—Designer Magazine. As the world knows, George Bernard Shaw is a staunch vegetarian, and all the many disciples of this particular dietetic cult look up to him as a shining example. Imagine, therefore, their amazement and disgust when G. B. S. said in public: "If I feel that I can enjoy a nice juicy beefsteak I have it." One of his followers took him to task about this. "Calm yourself, my dear fellow!" drawled Shaw. "I never do feel that I can enjoy a nice juicy beefsteak." Along the Mexican border between Monclova and Pledras Negras bandits have a habit of trying to get across the Rio Grande, and it is necessary for the Mexican government to pilot steam trains by airplane lookout. Elmer Leighton is the alrman intrusted with the job, and he precedes all trains quite a distance to spot bandits in the chaparral. Recently he took his honeymoon trip with Miss Clemencla Conteros, his bride in order to keep up his unbroken record of piloting every train between the two stations. Emigration to America is emptying many an Alpine village and district in the canton of Tienio, Switzerland. In some places only the young and the aged are left, all the work people having gone to the United States, especially to California. Out of 60 young men called to the colors to perform their military service in this canton, only five could be found, all the others having emigrated. G. A. O. T. U.

Paper Airplanes What promises to be a great improvement in the construction of airplanes is the use of paper in building the fuselage which is said to have the strength of wood and other material used for the purpose, but with a great decrease in the weight, which, of course, is a considerable advantage. The navy is making tests of the use of paper in this connection and the trials so far have indicated that the change will be a very desirable one. Back Anti-Chinese Law The Philippine bookkeeping law requiring that accounts of merchants shall be kept in English, Spanish or native dialect has been declared constitutional by the Philippine Supreme court. It was aimed at Chinese merchants. An appeal will be taken to the United States Supreme court.

Worth more than all her personal belongings was the compact of love, plety, faith and common sense which a New York woman left her family. Like all the great things of life, the message is simple, and valuable enough as an item of interest to the public at large to find space in the newspapers. The letter was written by Mrs. Lydia Harding Hammond, widow of the Rev. John Dennis Hammond, a Methodist minister, to be read by the children after her death. It runs as follows: "Dear Children—I've just made my will, and this is to tell you what I want done with my personal belongings. Don't keep anything just because it was mine; they are just things, and worn and shabby at that; love doesn't need such things for remembrance. "Most of my books are old and many of them I haven't looked into for years. I have loved and kept them because they have enlarged my life. Henry is to have them and my Bible, typewriter and Verdun vase. "I won't be separated from any of you, dear children. I'll just be closer to God and will understand better the ways in which prayers and faith can open ways through which God can help you and I'll be able at least to love you with all my heart and without anything in that love that will make you feel as if I wanted to control you or bother you. "Bury my body as cheaply as you can and forget it. Don't wear mourning, unless, of course, 'Lynx' wants to. And think of me as alive, alive beyond your farthest thought, and near, and loving you, and well at last, far as the winds of heaven and learning more and more the things I want to know and growing more toward what God wants me to become. "I think, maybe, John will have our home ready when I come and we'll have a real home at last. "Love one another. Hold fast to that whether you understand one another or not, and remember nothing really matters except being kind to one another and to all the world as far as you can reach. Such faith as this Methodist minister's wife displays, says the Boston Globe, "is the best evidence of those things this woman believed. She lived them and her faith revealed through her will shines like a star. Here in very truth is the victory that overcometh the world, the life eternal, lived now in the midst of time." Says the New York Sun: "We prefer to accept this letter as more nearly revealing the spirit which today generally animates and inspires American family life than to join those who see in occasional records of domestic discord, parental inattention and filial neglect true indexes of the national character. The beauty of faith, and of hope, and of unselfish devotion its simple phrases record are found in countless households from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Lakes to the Gulf. The power to set forth the sentiments of loyalty and virtues as Mrs. Hammond set them forth, is possessed by few, and this gives to her letter a unique and universal value."-Literary Digest. To the above named defendant, Willie Tucker: You are hereby notified that you have been sued in the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, for a divorce by the above named plaintiff on the grounds of extreme cruelty; that unless you answer the allegations and charges as set out in the petition filed herein on or before the 3rd day of July, 1925, the same will be taken as true; that judgment and decree will be rendered against you divorcing you from the said plaintiff and with such other and further relief as to the court may seem just and proper. I. F. BRADLEY, JR. Att'y. for Plaintiff (First publication May 22, 1925.) LIVE IN PRESENT, AND LIVE LONG "I read the news to keep young," Chauncey Depew told the reporters who interviewed him on his ninety-first birthday. And, that, in the terminology of a flippant generation, was not "applesauce" for the young men of the press. Chauncey Depew not only reads the news, but continues to be a part of the news. He is active and alert at ninety-one because he always has lived in the present, the Minneapolis Journal says. In youth Depew did not sit around dreaming of an impossible utopia and neglecting the opportunities of the present. In age Depew does not sit around mourning the passing of the good old days and scorning the opportunities of 1925. When the threatening infirmities of advancing years demanded certain changes in the diet and habits of this remarkable man he made the changes without a murmur, nor did he let fear betray him into a state of near-invalidism. He merely followed his life rule of accepting uncomplainingly whatever time might bring him. Japs Learn English English is taught in the public schools all over Japan. Later, when I came to travel widely in the interior, I often found bright schoolboys fourteen or fifteen years old who would volunteer as interpreters, Theodore Geoffrey writes in the Saturday Evening Post. In another generation English may be a second language for the Japanese, even as the Dutch today are competent linguists, because the world cannot be bothered to learn Dutch. English, unless a Japanese has been educated abroad, becomes rather peculiar in Japanese mouths, for according to Japanese custom, every consonant must be followed by a vowel, and there is no "l" or "v" or "th." Thus "beer" becomes "bleru"; "glass," "gursu," and "hotel," "hoteru." NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT State of Kansas. County of Wyandotte, ss. In the Probate Court in and for said County and State.
