Groves died of heart disease at his superfine residence, which cost $22,000, at Edwardsville, Kansas. Monday, August 17. He was called the richest colored man in Kansas. One year he produced 72,150 bushels of potatoes which was 12,150 more bushels than any other grower in the world. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Emily Groves and eleven children, eight sons and three daughters. All the colored people and thousands of white people condole with the family. Office of Jas H. Guy, Lawyer, 404 Kansas Avenue. Topeka, Kan., Aug. 18, 1925. To Editor Kansas City Advocate: In the death of the Hon. J. G. Groves, of Edwardsville, Kansas, the state has lost one of its most able financiers, one of its best known business men, one of its most worthy and highly esteemed colored citizens. For the past eighteen years, I have been closely associated with Mr. Groves, in business and to some extent socially and I have never known a more careful and painstaking business man, nor have I ever enjoyed the association of a closer and more devoted friend. Mr. Groves was a man of very great vision, and a staunch believer in the future success of the colored race, in which he was deeply intercested. He was a man of great integrity, had a high sense of honor, and of a kindly disposition, with a deep affection for his family, a devoted lover of his home, and held an unchanging devotion for a friend. Mr. Groves was a man of great courage, and very marked business accumen. He held very pronounced views as to citizenship, and was an ardent believer in the principles of government, as set forth in the Declaration of Independence, the constitution of the United States, and its amendments. Indeed, a great man has fallen . JAS. H. GUY. MANAGER MRS.

THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER HOME COMING DAY A GLORIOUS SUCCESS At First Baptist Church Fifth and Nebraska—Rev. W. A. Bowren D. D., Pastor In the lives of nations, races and individuals there are epochs which are stamped indelibly upon our memory. Last Sunday was such a day. The committee with Mrs. Anna Hodge as chairman, spared no pains to make the day a success and every one whose good fortune it was to be present at the services are loud in praise for what they seen and heard. Before Dr. Bowren ascended the restum the church was comfortably filled, ere the services closed, the galleries were in use. Flowers bedecked the chancel rail of the choir stand and rostrum. The committee made special provisions for aged members to attend the services and they were out in large numbers. Pastor Bowren preached a wonderful sermon from the subject, "A Glorious Home Coming." Text, "I Will Arise and go to My Father." Luke 15-18. The sermon was spirit filled and delivered with power and many rejoiced. The music was a special feature of the occasion. The choir under the direction of Prof. T. H. Reynolds rendered sweet music. Special numbers were a solo, "The Lord is My Light," sang by Mr. Aaron Jackson. Duet, "That Beautiful Golden Gate." Misses Rudenia McReynolds, Maeday Gayden. The Reynolds quartette, Messrs. Robert Armstrong, Samuel Stewart, James Spaulding, Prof. T. H. Reynolds. All of these musical numbers were gems and given perfect renditions. The quartette sang, "Mother is Praying For You." The collection for the day was more than $200. Christians may we continue these earthly family reunions till we all meet at the glorious home coming, where parting will be no more. KANSAS K.

Jones had waited on the appointed corner for her for 15 minutes and was beginning to grow impatient. At last he esplied a tall, familiar appearing figure coming down the street. She arrived at the corner, and he took her by the arm, saying: "Come, dear, we must hurry." "Sir, how dare you?" the woman answered. "Why, Hartle, what in the world—" "Officer, this masher is attempting to be familiar with me," the tall woman said to a John Law who had just approached. On his way to the station Jones had an opportunity to think it over. Suddenly it dawned on him—he had forgotten to remove his colored glasses and had accosted a blonde instead of his dark-haired spouse.—Washington Columns. Their Presence Defined She sat up in bed and clutched her husband's arm. "Jack!" she whispered, hoarsely. "Burglars!" "It isn't nonsense! I tell you they're downstairs!" "Well, I say they're not!" "And I say they are!" "Gently, gently!" growled a deep-voiced stranger, popping his head in at the door. "Your husband's right." "What do you mean?" screamed the frightened wife. "Why, that we're not downstairs," replied the burglar as he closed the door again. "We're upstairs. Good-night." CITY Kansas City, Kansas. BRIGADIER GENERAL KENNEDY as City, Kansas.

Mother Wants Two Sons Confined in Jail for Life Philadelphia. — A seventy-year-old mother appeared in a police station here with the request that the magistrate sentence her two sons to jail. "even for life." If necessary, to "just keep them away from me." The sons, the aged mother, Mrs. Margaret Friel, sald, would not work and made themselves a nuisance about her boarding house. They had been arrested 12 times for intoxication and disorderly conduct, the police said. "When I wouldn't give them money to buy drinks," Mrs. Friel declared, "they threatened to kill me. I'm through with them. I disown them here and now, and I don't care where you send them, or how long you give them. I don't want ever to see them again, not even when I'm dying." The sons, Daniel, forty, and James, thirty-eight, were sentenced to three months in the county jail. May Keep Ring San Francisco. — An engagement ring is a gift and not a trust, and if the fair recipient retains it she is not guilty of embezzlement, it was ruled here by a police judge. Louis H. Peterson asked for the arrest of his former fiancee, Miss Dorothy Howard, on a charge of embezzlement, asserting she had retained a diamond ring he had given her when Miss Howard promised to become his bride. He said they subsequently abandoned their plans and she refused to return the ring The County The County's Bouquet FAIR WOMAN WRITES OF ENGLISH CONCEIT An American journalist asked me if I thought his people thought more of themselves than the British did. I said it was a nice point, and added: "You do not think more of yourselves than we do, but you think more about yourselves. We live in an older and more interesting country than you do, but you won't hear an Englishman ask any foreigner what he thinks of England; nor, I am frald—if an opinion either praising or adverse were volunteered—would he care a rap for the reply." As a nation we are not touchy or vain, but we are conceited, Margot Asquith declares in the London Magazine. Vanity undermines self-confidence, conceit stimulates it; and if success is the object aimed at, I do not know a defect more likely to insure failure than vanity. If you refute this by citing the famous men who have been vain, you find that their vanity did not cover the ground; it was redeemed by qualities of heart, head or judgment rare even in the humble. Women are credited with turning the tide in favor of Hindenburg in the German election. This shoots full of holes the theory that with the women possessed of the right to vote the handsomest male candidate would always win. If there is anything Hindenburg is not, it's a prize winner at a beauty show. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 LAW AND ORDER BILL PENDING IN GEORGIA . Seeks to Make End of Riots and Mob Violence—Sheriffs Held Responsible. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 18.—(Special) Georgia will join the growing list of southern states which are taking active steps to end rioting and mob violence if the legislature enacts the law and order bill introduced in the House of Representative last week. The bill, entitled, "An Act to Maintain Law and Order," provides that in any case of rlot, riotous assembly, or mob violence, careful investigation shall be made by the judge of the Superior Court. If it appears from this investigation that any sheriff, deputy sheriff, jailer, or other peace officer was negligent or incompetent in dealing with such disorder, the chief justice or other justice of the supreme court shall appoint a special law and order commission to hear all the evidence in the case and render judgment as to the faithfulness or negligence of the officer in question. If he is found by the commission to have been negligent, judgment to that effect shall be communicated to the governor, who in turn shall remove the officer from his position. Proof that any person was taken from the custody of the officer by the mob, or killed or injured while in his custody, shall be prima facie evidence of neglect, to be offset only by affirmative proof that the officer had in fact used all reasonable precaution and/exercised the utmost diligence in the effort to maintain order. The bill provides further that in the case of an officer so adjudged negligent in the prevention of rioting or violence, the attorney general of the state shall bring suit against such officer for the full value of any property destroyed by the mob and for the sum of $5,000 for each homicide committed by it. Any person removed from office under the provisions of the act shall be disqualified for a period of five years to hold any peace office of the state, county, or municipality. Friends of the measure point out that it is in line with similar laws enacted in other southern states which have been found very effective in the reduction of mob violence. It is said to be widely supported by religious, civic and welfare organizations over the state. Mrs. Maud O. Butler, 407 Everett avenue, is spending her vacation in Buffalo, N. Y., points in Canada and on her return home plans to stop in Detroit, Wis., and Chicago, Ill. Mrs. Alice Browne, matron of summer high school has returned home from a two months visit in the east. Mrs. Browne spent some time with her son, Rev. Albert Browne, of Charleston, W. Va., who is presiding elder of that district. She also visited Philadelphia, New York and Washington and a number of the smaller city's of the east. Number 1 COMES TO DEFENSE OF THE NEGRO SOLDIER COMES TO DEFENSE OF THE NEGRO SOLDIER (Ex-Governor Melcolm R. Patterson in Memphis Commercial Appeal) The article of G. W. Lee published in Sunday's Commercial Appeal is well worth reading. Lee, a colored man, was an officer in the 368th infantry in the world war, and his statement is one of the many replies to the charges of General Bullard to the effect that Negro soldiers of the 92nd Division were lacking in courage. The statement of Officer Lee is well presented, and while he and others of his race are no doubt chafing over the strictness of General Bullard, the article is as free from acrimony as could be reasonably expected under the circumstances. The writer of the article mentioned does not content himself with a general denial but quotes from a speech of General Pershing as follows: "I want you officers and soldiers to know that the 92nd division stands second to none in the record you have made since your arrival in France. I am proud of the part you have played in the great conflict, which ended on the 11th day of November. I realize you did not get into the game as early as some of the other units but since you took over your first sector you have acquitted yourselves with credit. I commend the 92nd division for its achievements not only in the field, but on the record it has made in their individual conduct. In addition to the foregoing statement of General Pershing, Officer Lee quotes from other white officers, and includes a memorandum made on the field by Colonel Allen Greer of Memphis, all of which are wholly at variance with the charges of General Bullard. Colonel Greer is the son of Judge James M. Greer, an old and honored resident of this city, and was born and reared in this city. Colonel Greer made a great reputation as a young lieutenant in the Phillipine Islands during the native insurrection, was decorated and cited for conspicuous gallantry, and since that time has become a colonel in the regular army. If the number and character of the witnesses are to determine the accuracy of General Bullard's statements, he has failed to make out his case, and on the record presented the Negro soldiers stand not only acquitted of the indictment for cowardice, but as having established in addition the positive fact of their bravery. The Negro is an American citizen, and forms a considerable part of the integral life of the nation. The general impression has always been that he was thoroughly patriotic in the world war and it came as a distinct surprise, especially to those who know the Negro best, that a charge of cowardice should have been lodged against him by General Bullard or any one else.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Our idea of nothing to dispute about is a balloon race. Some men in the public eye feel much like a cinder. No matter what happens in France, the people are used to it. Some husbands have a den, while others growl all over the house. A good many men have chiffon daughters and only cotton incomes. Drive, and your friends ride with you; walk, and they run over you. Some people are never seen in a hurry unless they are driving an automobile. Give feminine fashions time enough and they will starve all the moths to death. This is the greatest of all nations. At any rate, it has the most filling stations. It isn't that marriage makes men meek, but that the meek ones are easily caught. Europe to America, 1917—"Come across!" America to Europe, 1925—The same. The objection to sleeping out of doors is that insects don't know when to go to sleep. The cycle from shirtsleeves to shirt- aleeves requires three generations or one hot wave. Scientists have found a skull half an inch thick in Arizona. But why go as far as Arizona? As soon as somebody loses a war nowadays in Morocco, somebody else goes out to find it. It is decidedly more than a riffle in the Riff that has been caused by the rifles of the Riffians. An old-timer is one who can remember when it was daring to buy a married woman a lemonade. Noah may have organized the first stock company, but one thing sure, he never tried to float alone. Something is retarding the progress of the war-debt negotiations, but it certainly isn't lack of gas. The mosquito is like a child. When he stops making a noise, you know he's getting into something. The reason some great men are lonely is because they sacrificed too many friends on the way up. If it takes $137 worth of equipment to land eight ounces of bass, then fishing is something like war, isn't it? Women drivers demand only half of the road. But sometimes they are slow about deciding which half. Students of war say that the next conflict will be waged with gas. And it will also be started that way. About all the average town-bred man knows about farming is what to do when the dinner bell rings. Considering the fact that one is born every minute, Luther Burbank seems to be wasting his time producing prunes. One of the mall-order houses intends to sell coal. However, postmen should not feel alarmed. Delivery will be by freight. A scientist says that in a hundred years there will be nothing in the World to laugh at. Won't there be any scientists?

Rubber's high cost should tend to reduce the number of discarded automobile tires now adorning the landscape and the rubbish heaps. Everybody knows that a fool and his money are soon parted, and it might be added that a fool and his gunny do not remain together very long. It may be only happenstance, but the vegetable man seems always to stop his wagon directly in front of the house of a man who has a city garden. Bolshevism is the bad boy of civilization, starting fires for the fun of seeing the blaze; and it seems to have found some tindery material in China. The Department of Agriculture is taking extra care not to repeat its mistake of having a year-book cover showing a farmer plowing left-handed They are also expected to try not to give a picture of the left-handed farm aid in vogue. Improved Sandals Spring sandals strapped on like skates and with two stout steel colls fastened between the bottom and a lower leather-padded sole, are now on the market for boys' and girls' amusement. They are made in five different sizes and stiffness of springs for small and larger children, and the springs are so flexible that there is practically no danger of turning the ankle. Walking or jumping with them is said to strengthen the muscles of the feet and legs and besides providing healthful sport the sandals lead to the development of new games for the playground—Popular Mechanics Magazine. How modern life is teaching also the young dears to shoot! An open mind gets as many problems as an open shop. The eternal triangle leads all the other irregular figures. Crime grows less by what it reads than by what it feeds on. Money doesn't mean everything, but everything seems to mean money.

At 11 a. m., a large number assembled to worship God. Pastor Bronson preached on, "How Christians should give to the Church, so we can take care of our sick and pay all debts on God's Temple here on earth. The Sunday school was large and enjoyed a piano solo by a blind young man from New York's Blind Institute. At the morning church service, some united with the church. At 2 p. m., the funeral of Mrs. Emma Wesley was held. Five lodges turned out and the crowd extended into the balcony. Pastor Bronson preached a sermon, which helped the relatives bear their grief some better. Many beautiful floral emblems were given. At 6 p. m., the B. Y. P. U., had a good meeting. At 8 p. m., it looked like rain, but many attended church anyhow, and it was found the days collection was $106. Next Sunday, Aug. 23rd, is another big day. Sermons lifting up Christ, and telling that He is mighty to save will be preached. We hope, and we wish a large congregation to come to hear them, also next Tuesday, August 25th the church clubs will begin their community reunion at the church which will last till Aug. 29th. All visitors, friends and members are asked to attend 5 days and nights, and hear programs. Come to everything at Metropolitan Church. Shriners and Isis ladies specially welcome at services and at Community reunion. Needed Information The shopwalker approached the rather perturbed-looking young man just inside the entrance of the big store. "You look as though you wished some sort of information, sir. Can I be of service to you?" "I don't know," said the young man. "I was told to buy either a camisole or a casserole, and I can't remember which." "Well," said the shopwalker, patiently, "if you'll tell me what kind of a chicken you propose to put in it, perhaps I can help you."—London Tit-Bita. His Occupation A feller from down about Slippery Slap, while passing along the big road in the Rumpus Ridge neighborhood, encountered beside the road a resident of the region sitting on a stump and gazing at the ground. "Howdy!" he saluted. "What are you doing there?" "What's that?" "Durned if I know."—Kansas City Star Telephone when you want that next job of Printing You will get first-class work, and you will get it when promised, for having work done when promised is one of the rules of this office.

Let Us Show You What We Can Do For some reason or other, the picnic as an institution still survives in spite of showers, ants and falling in love. Americans are not taking their amusements so seriously or their Sunday automobile rides so fatally as they formerly did. What a fine world this would be if people would spend as much money practicing their religion as they spend quarrelling about it. In the purchase and maintenance of motor cars, the United States spends annually the sum of $8,000,000,000 exclusive of hospital bills. When Calllaux tells the French that their debts must be paid with taxes, he is slipping them some mighty bad news, but it is the truth. It has been estimated that a locomotive can take an automobile apart in one thirty-second of the time it takes a mechanic to do it. PUBLICATION NOTICE Johnnie B. Irvin, Plaintiff.

Love Wavers dt Religion In India there is a Christian (community that contains a large number of Hindu women who have been born into or professed the Christian religion. Great alarm is being felt just now because some of these Christianized women are marrying out of the Christian religion by choosing husbands who have not been converted. One of the reasons is that there are too few Christian men in the community. Another reason is purely-economic in that the Christian young men are not able to support these girls in the manner offered by those who profess the so-called pagan religions of the country. A Palmer avenue grocer handed up one of his early-season canteloupes to a critical customer and the customer pushed thoughtfully at the stem end with his thumb. "Not ripe," the customer announced, and proceeded with his thumb-pressing work until he finally selected a melon that suited. "I always get good canteloupes," the customer declared. "because I know the trick of telling the good ones. If the melon is ripe the scar left when it was pulled from the vine will give. If it is green, it won't. That's the secret."—Detroit News. Electric Street Railways The first electric street railway to run successfully in the United States began operations in Richmond, Va., in 1888. That is only 37 years ago, but today there are in the country a total of 45,000 miles of track of electric street railways, and last year the 900 companies which form the street railway systems of the nation carried a total of 16,000,000,000 passengers, or nearly 160 times the total population of the country. Something to Puzzle Over Something to Puzzle Over They had not been married so very long, but even so the young bride knew something about the ways of fishermen. So she remarked to the fish market man: "You know, my husband has gone fishing today." The fish seller nodded noncommittedly. "So I just wanted to ask." continued the bride, without pausing to look at "what kind of fish you think" and to hurt his feeling. T. T. G. O. T.

On this farm, which has nearly a level plateau of about two acres in extent where several families of the Sokokis Indians once lived, a peculiar Indian burial mound, 75 feet long, 50 feet wide and about 25 feet high, was discovered soon after the Revolution. This mound, which is located upon a beautiful intervale, is filled with the skeletons of thousands of Indians entombed in a sitting posture and circling around a common center facing outward. These form concentric circles, which were added, one after another, until the outer was formed, when another tier was begun above them. This mound is estimated to contain no less than 8,000 or 10,000 skeletons, which would seem to testify of a numerous or a long-established race in that locality. Japanese See Garden Japanese look upon a garden as a picture, beautifully designed and framed, much as the occidental looks upon a painting, Prof. Takuma Tono, landscape architect of Waseda university, Japan, told Seattle on a lecture tour of the United States. Professor Tono is a graduate of Cornell university. "Our Japanese gardens are entirely different from gardens in any other part of the world," Mr. Tono said. "In all western nations the garden is considered a collection of rare and beautiful plants, flowers, shrubs and trees, rather than the picture for which the Japanese strive. Japanese gardens are more naturalistic than architectural."

STATE OF KANSAS OF NORTH AMERICA Dies by Fire Little Corn Wasted Remarkable progress in utilizing the waste products of the corn crop, such as corn cobs, stalks and leaves, has been made during the last few years, says the Des Molnes Register. A list of products made from corn, published by the United States Department of Agriculture, reads like an industrial catalogue. The list contains 148 commodities, including such items as axle grease and face powder, shoe heels and chair cushions, cigarette holders and gun powder, incense and punk, phonograph records and shaving soap, shoe horns and varnish. The list of commodities ranges from absorbents for nitro-glycerin in the manufacture of dynamite to xylose, a kind of sugar. Good Reason for Pardon Dr. William E. Barton's "Life of Abraham Lincoln" relates that the governor of a certain state was visiting the state prison and stopped to talk with a number of prisoners. They told him their story, and in every instance it was one of wrong suffered by an innocent person. The real criminal had always escaped, and the imprisoned man was the unfortunate victim of appearances or of conspiracy or perjury. There was one man, however, who admitted the crime and the justice of his sentence. "I must pardon you," said the governor. "I can't have you in here corrupting all these good men." DR.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE NOBODY CARED LEAVES ESTATE FOR TOMBSTONE JEWELER SAVES $100,000 IN GEM BY FOOT W Executor Has Nearly $14,000 to Spend for Her Monument. Jersey City.—Over the grave of a friendless widow in the railroad-flanked Jersey City cemetery a monument costing between $12,000 and $14,000 is to be erected. It is to carry out her will that because she had no relatives or friends whom she cared anything about, or who cared a whit for her, her earthly all go into stone above her body. The woman was Mrs. Anna M. Panghorn, who died here recently. She left her entire estate to former Police Judge Frank J. Higgins, a stranger to her, to hold in trust as executor, with instructions to sell her property and with the proceeds erect "a suitable monument, tombstone or other memorial" over her. Nearly $20,000 was realized, out of which came the cost of litigation and taxes. Mrs. Panghorn was the third wife of John W. Panghorn, who was president of the Jersey City board of education. They moved to the Prospect Park neighborhood, Brooklyn, in the '80s. He died in 1907 and his widow returned to Jersey City, living in seclusion. Three Contested Wills. One day she mentioned to a neighbor that she wanted to make a will and she was referred to Judge Higgins. The will was drawn according to her wishes, in July, 1918. Bank deposits, bonds, mortgages and jewelry were listed in the probate of A the will after her death, seven months later. Three persons appeared, seeking to upset the will. They were John Davies, a nephew, and Gertrude and Frances Fitzsimmons, nieces. The will was declared legal. The proceeding cost the estate $2,500. Charwoman Got $400. As itens were sold the money was deposited in the Commercial Trust company, Jersey City. Taxes took some and $400 was paid to a woman who said she worked for Mrs. Pang horn by the day for years without pay, being content with a promise of being remembered in her will. The last legal obstacle having been removed, Mr. Higgins has decided he has no alternative but to carry out the widow's direction and erect the monument. It will have inscribed on it the name Davies, in memory of her father, and the name Panghorn. A single small tombstone inscribed "Jane Davies, wife of John Davies," now is on the 14 by 14-foot cemetery plot. From railroad yards on either side of the cemetery smoke has begrimed the tombstones. Superintendent Brad hurst of the cemetery says a handsome monument such as is to be erected will be ruined in a short time, unless provision is made to care for it. Mr. Higgins says he is authorized, as executor, to devote the entire funds to the monument.

JEWELER SAVES $100,000 IN GEMS BY FOOT WORK Defies Revolvers and Beats Heels Against Door Until Aid Comes. New York.— The frantic tattoo which Abraham Podolsky beat with head and feet against the front door of his jewelry store at 74 Forsyth street frightened away two holdup men who had entered the place with drawn revolvers a few minutes before, intent on looting his safe of more than $100,000 of diamonds. Podolsky's terrified face framed in the glass panel of the door and the robbers fled. One of the pair leaped to the running board of a passing taxi-cab and at the point of his revolver forced the driver to take him to Chrystle and Canal streets. The other ran north on Forsyth street to Grand street and lost himself among the Sunday promenaders. Driver Returns to Scene. Harry Bender of 1536 St. John's place was the driver of the taxicab. As soon as the bandit jumped from the cab he drove back to Podolsky's store with the two passengers he had in the cab. Then the party, including Louis Stein of 1679 Fiftieth street, IAMONDS 74 Yelling for the Police Brooklyn, a customer, who was in the store at the time, went to the Clinton street station and reported to Detectives Whalen and Cavanaugh. Podolsky said he was alone in the store when a tall, dark youth entered and asked to see some diamond rings, ranging in price from $200 to $250. Something in the youth's manner made Podolsky suspicious. Before going to the big safe at the rear, which stood open, he went to the front door and locked it. Customer Arrives in Time. Then he brought out some rings, but while the pseudo customer examined them Stein appeared at the locked door and Podolsky went to let him in. Another youth crowded in on Stein's heels, and as soon as he was in both he and the first youth drew revolvers and ordered the jeweler and Stein into a rear room. Stein prepared to obey, but Podolsky, shouting that he would die rather than let the robbers make off with his goods, ran to the door, beat his head against it and kicked it, yelling for the police. The men took fright and fled. Saves Crippled Husband; Wife Loses Her Own Life Endlcott, N. Y.—Mrs. Lelia M. Teetsal of this city was burned to death when she returned to her burning apartment to save her valuables after she had carried her crippled husband, Richard M. Teetsal, to safety. Mr. Teetsal was seriously burned. The couple were trapped by the fire in a bedroom off the kitchen of their second-floor apartment. Teetsal, with both legs severed above the knees, was powerless to save himself. His wife took him in her arms and, fighting her way through the flames carried him downstairs to safety. Then she returned before any one could restrain her to obtain valuables left in the apartment. She did not reappear, and when the fire was extinguished 30 minutes later her charred body was found on the kitchen floor.
