WIN WAN CANDIDATES WHO WILL "CARRY ON" AND WORK FOR PRIZES WORTHY OF REAL WORKERS In the K. C. Advocate "Everybody Wins" Campaign, a Real Opportunity is Presenting Itself to the ePople of this Section Kansas City and this entire section today is talking over The Advocate's great "Everybody Wins" free gift distribution. Everyone is talking. And but few are doing. It is not talk that The Advocate wants. It is candidates. And candidates are slow in getting in. It really is puzzling to the management. Why are so few contestants taking advantage of this great gift giving campaign. Over $6,000 in automobiles and cash prizes is offered. Winners will get more for their efforts in the next few weeks than the average family makes in a year. Yes, considerably more. Active candidates are wanted—candidates who are real candidates, who will get in and "carry on"—candidates who are big enough that every little flurry will not scare them. Fighters are wanted. What difference does it make to you, a candidate, what John Jones is doing? You don't win that way. It is what you do yourself that wins for you. Winning is positive, not negative. It is the subscriptions that you turn in that will pile up your vote total. It takes headwork as well as footwork. It takes foresight as well as hindsight. It takes a "DO" spirit. All Hate a Coward. If you are in, go get 'em. If you have been considering going after the big prizes, go after them. Everyone hates a coward. And how about a quitter? Remember that votes are what win. Promises won't get you there. Noise won't win for you. Just votes. One subscription in this big vote period gives you 10,000 votes. Ten subscriptions give you 100,000 votes. A six-year subscription will give you 360,000 votes this first period. Subscriptions will win for you. Only in the first period can you get the biggest votes. Publish Names Soon Names of the few candidates that are enrolled will be published soon. There should be at least as many active candidates as there are prizes before the list is published. But no matter whether there are five candidates or 500, the gifts will absolutely be awarded. That is certain. You win if you stick. You can't lose. "Everybody Wins" is the slogan. There is no such word as "can't." "You can" but you must will it so. That's the how of this campaign. There never was and never will be such an opportunity offered you. Think. Realize what this means to you. Without spending one cent you can win as high as $1,285.00 in the next few weeks. You can do it in your spare time. You cannot lose.

Each and every prize will be given away, absolutely free to the persons who make the effort to get them and if your name is sent in immediately and included in the list of candidates YOU can win a prize of your choice.

December 4,1925 By this drive for subscriptions and the consequent struggle for the wonderful prizes to be had, we may observe a fine example of co-operation. And there are many other phases of the proposition in which the appeal to our race, pride, is in the strongest terms; and the benefits equally as evident and direct: It ought to appeal to ones good sense and judgment, that it is a material benefit, in more ways than may be easily enumerated; to have thousands of papers circulated, in which there is a fair and truthful statement of all those matters and things which concern, and are of interest to the members of our group. The full force of this great benefit, is made more apparent, when we consider how unfair, and even positively false, are the statements which are so freely published in other papers. It has always been a puzzle, which the editor of this paper has had to pass up—to find out why our people could not, or would not, see and appreciate a truth so easily apparent. We will call mass and indignation meetings, and cry out long and loud at the horrible lies, wrongs and outrages of the other group; by and through their newspapers. Without ever a thought of what we could do for ourselves, to correct or obviate such practice. Much better in all such instances, would it be, for us to take counsel of ourselves, of what we could do to present to the world the actual truth in the premises. A thousand times better, and more effective would it be, for us to spend the money we pay the other fellow, for speaking falsely or unfairly of us; in building up a paper means of which the truth as to ourselves, as well also the other fellow; can in all cases be heard. And that is but one of the many phases wherein we would be materially benefitted. While that alone is amply sufficient to awaken all uor pride, and call for our energetic action; still it is not the only way in which we would be benefitted. The more papers circulated, the more work must be done and performed—and that too, by members of our group which means more and pleasant employment for members of the group. Employment, means earnings upon which to subsist, and increased means of subsistence, means better environments, better homes, better associations and better conduct; all of which, go to make a better and more desirable life; lived in the best way. In fact, we are quite satisfied, that this idea of co-operation and self help, is of the very basis and substance of well-being. And that all human progress, is dependent upon it, and that where there is a lack or absence of it; there we will also find stagnation and lack of progress. In truth, it is but putting into practice the spirit of the golden rule. It is but lending gurseurs to the doing of those matters and things taught by the great Master, when he walked and talked with his deciples. And concrete examples of the truth and application of what we have said may be given in great number; and of them, we shall have more to say hereafter. Suffice it to say now—the fore-going is a fore-runner of what is to follow, as to our becoming to be group- MOSSON'S Shoe Begins Saturday morning at 9 this great shoe sale and save the quick.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. FAMOUS NEGROES Alexander Dumas Thackery, the English novelist, called Dumas, "Alexander the Great." Like Alexander Pushkin of Russia, the great French romanticist is the third descendant from a Negro, except that in this instance the line begins with the grandmother rather than grandfather. Dumas' grandfather, who was a marquis, married a Creole of Haiti. The author's father was a dark giant of a man—of the heroic generals of Napoleon's army. The general married the daughter of ann inn-keeper. From this union the novelist was born in 1802. The father died while the son was four years old. Having but little money, Dumas soon found himself in Paris seeking his fortune. For a time he attached himself to the Duke of Orleans as clerk. Like Voltaire, Hugo, and many other French men of letters, Dumas sought to make his way as a playwright. In this he succeeded modestly, having presented successfully, "Henry III," "The Tower of Nelsc" and several other plays. But Dumas' claim to fame, a claim which he holds undisputed, rests upon his romances, "The Three Musketeers," "The Count of Monte Cristo," "Twenty Years After," and scores of others. The critics say that he possessed a "rare mind, rare attention. subtle spirit, and quick comprehension." THE BOSTON EDITOR A. J.

CHURCH NEWS Services at First church Sunday, at the eleven o'clock preaching was largely attended. Rev. J. B. Isaacs, the pastor, delivered a most wonderful sermon. Subject, "Accumulative Faith". It was not only instructive to his attentive hearers, but scholarly in thought of spiritual power.

Vernon, presiding bishop of the 17th district and a part of the 4th district, Mrs. Vernon, Presiding elder, W. T. Osboren and Mrs. Osborne worshipped with First church at the 11 o'clock service.

S. convened in regular session, with the usual very good attendance. At 6:30 the B. Y. P. U. met, with the president, Mr. N. F. Johnson in charge. He is doing a great work with his assisting officers, making this organization into a wonderful group of Christian young people. The Thanksgiving committee served an appetizing dinner on Thanksgiving day in the dining room, and the sisters in charge made a splendid financial report. The congregation share the pastor's grief over the loss of his sister, Sister Smith, and extend their sympathy to the bereaved family. All members of this church are being urged to subscribe for the Advocate. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Sunday, Nov. 29, 1925, was a pleasant autumn day, and again the Sunrise prayer meeting was very enjoyable. At 9:30 a. m. many attend Sunday school and at 11 a. m. a large congregation assembled in this, the largest church auditorium of our group. They were rewarded by hearing a wonderful spiritual sermon by Dr. H. B. Bronson. Some shouted for joy, some wept, and even some in the choir shouted with God's Spirit and had to be carried out. Pastor Bronson let the Holy Spirit use him, and thus pleased Saints and sinners. At 4 p. m., the Forum had a large audience, and at 6 p. m. the B. Y. P. U. had a fine meeting and program. One feature was a pantomine, "Jesus Lover of My Soul." At 8 p. m. Pastor Bronson was ready with a sermon on God's Word. His subject was, "Pray Without Ceasing," Thess. 5:17. In part he said: "Before our bodies lose life let's expand it trying to save souls," "God takes man's spirit back to himself." "The Salvation of the soul is the greatest work of all," "Jesus Christ came to seek an dto sace that which was lost." Again the hearers in our vase auditorium were overjoyed and still more joined the church. There were 31 taken in at our last revival (instead of 21). Next Sunday, Dec. 6, convenant at 6 a. m. Preaching by Pastor Bronson at 11 a. m. Baptising of 15 candidates, of Oak Ridge Baptist church in our glass baptistry at 12:30, and at 8 p. m. the Lord Supper will be given to the hundreds of members, who already belong and to the many members who have joined lately. Come to Metropolitan church Sunday, Dec. 6, and all the time. All are welcome. Their collection was over $148. The Wide Awake club had a fine Thanksgiving dinner after a fine sermon by Dr. Bronson. Their playlet at night was said to be good. Mrs. L. Thompson and Mrs. A. Masterson are good workers. KING SOLOMON BAPTIST CHURCH DR. S. MONTGOMERY, Pastor. Sunday school well attended. Mrs. Pace of Houston, Texas, was one among the many visitors present. Mrs. L. L. Bastic said many good things to the school. At the morning service the Junior Choir rendered excellent service. The pastor preached a soul stirring sermon Text: Acts 26:29. B. Y. P. U. met at 6 p. m. Brother U. J Scott, president. Dr. Flutcher, M. D., lectured to a large audience at 7:30. The pastor again delivered a short sermon, and the hearts of many leaped for joy. The pastor and family enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner at the home of Mr. Silas Reed, 2030 North Second street. The Rev. B. F. Laden will preach at King Solomon Sundayy at 3 p. m. Come early Sunday morning and avoid the rush to hear the pastor's sermon.

WARNS OF DANGERS IN HEAT DEVICES Topeka, Kansas—Winter weather, tightly closed houses, stoves, fires ans heaters in action—these form a combination which the householder will do well to consider,, declares the Information Bureau of Kansas Public Service Companies in a statement setting forth the dangers of poisonous gas fumes, open fires and improper ventilation. "All fires use oxygen," the statement points out, "and as oxygen is necessary to life it is important that all rooms containing fires be so ventilated that the oxygen will be replaced. "Gases produced by incomplete combustion are always objectionable and often dangerous. The poisonous gas, carbon monoxide, has no odor, but as this gas and the aldehydes are produced under similar conditions, appliances that give off bad odors are likely to be dangerous. "Carbon monoxide is not peculiar to the incomplete combustion of natural gas. It is contained in manufactured gas and may be produced also by incomplete combustion of solid fuels. Carbon monoxide is the cause of the most serious effects when one is asphyxiated by manufactured gas or 'furnace gas.' Following are some of the suggestions of the bureau, the observance of which will prevent disaster: Don't run your automobile motor in the garage while the doors and windows are closed. Don't burn an open fire—coal, oil or gas—in an unventilated room. Don't operate a water heater any place in the house unless the heater is connected to a flue. It is advisable that all appliances using gas in considerable quantities be connected with flues. Flues carry away ordinary waste gas and provide escape for burned gas if the fire is accidentally extinguished or for poisonous and disagreeable gases if they are formed.

So, it is a plan that works both ways and to the ultimate good of all concerned. In order to gain this end quickly and advantageously, the most valuable and attractive list of prizes ever offered by a local newspaper in this section of the country has been made ready for distribution among those who participate most heartily. Ambition and energy are the only requisites for success. The plan adopted is the fairest and most impartial conceivable. There will be no "double vote" offers extra votes given, or any other vote inducement whatever inaugurated during this competition. The plan of the campaign is straight-forward and simple and is fully outlined in this announcement. Let it be fully understood at the very outset that this is not a "beauty" nor "popularity" contest, but a strictly legitimate competitive proposition for enterprising men and women, and boys and girls, and one in which no element of chance enters. One feature of this competition is the fact that there will be no losers in this race. HOW TO ENTER THE ELECTION The first step, in order to become a candidate and compete for a prize, is to clip the nomination coupon appearing in this issue; fill in your name and address and mail or deliver to the campaign department of the Kansas City Advocate. This coupon entitles you, or the person whom you might wish to nominate to 5000 free votes. HOW VOTES ARE SECURED The next step is to call on or write the campaign department for a free working outfit, consisting of a special receipt book, sample copies of the paper and other information relative to launching an active campaign. Thus equipped you have but to go to your friends and neighbors, relatives and acquaintances, and have them clip all the free coupons from their papers or pay up a subscription to the Kansas City Advocate through you, THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT. However, you will never win anything unless you make the start; and, while it will not be a very diffi- RULES AND RULES AND REGULATIONS 1—Any reputable man, woman or child residing in Kansas or Jackson County is eligible to enter this election and compete for a prize. Nominations may be made at any time during the election. 2—No employee or near relatives of any employee in The Kansas City Advocate office is eligible to enter this distribution. The Kansas City Advocate reserves the right to reject any nominations. 3—The winners of the prizes will be decided by their accredited votes, said votes being represented by ballots issued on subscriptions, and by coupons clipped from the papers. 4—Candidates are not confined to their own particular town or community in which to secure votes and subscriptions, but may take orders anywhere in this section; or for that matter, anywhere. 5—Cash must accompany all orders where votes are desired. There will be no exceptions to this rule. Cand'dotes will be allowed to collect subscriptions and votes will be issued on both alike. 6—Votes are free. It costs the subscriber nothing extra to vote for their favorite. Subscribers should ask for votes when paying their subscriptions. 7—Votes cannot be purchased. Every cent accepted through the election department must represent subscriptions. 8—Votes are not transferable. Candidates cannot withdraw from the race or his or her votes will be cancelled. Neither will it be permissible for candidates to give or transfer subscriptions to another candidate. Votes on such transferred subscriptions will be subject to disqualification at the discretion of the management. 9—Any collusion on the part of candidates to nullify competition or any other combination arrangement for effort to the detriment of candidates of this newspaper will not be tolerated. Any candidate or candidates entering into or taking part in such an agreement, arrangement of effort will forfeit all rights to a prize or commission. 10—Any ballots issued on subscriptions may be held in reserve and voted at the discretion of the candidate. The printed coupons appearing from week to week in the paper must be voted before the expiration date appearing thereon. 11—In the event of a tie for any one of the prizes identical in value will be given each tying contestant. 12—No statement or promise made by any solicitor, agent or candidates varying from the rules and statements published through the columns of this newspaper will be recognized by the publishers. cult matter to capture one of the big prizes, nevertheless you should start at once. You must plan out your campaign the same as any successful business man plans out his work for a season, and above everything else let no one discourage you, but stick to the finish. Anything worth having is worth striving for. A few short weeks and you may be riding in your own automobile. It takes votes to win, and votes are secured in two ways: First, by clipping the coupons appearing in each issue of the Kansas City Advocate. Begin by gathering them now. After a short time these coupons must be deposited at the campaign department of the Kansas City Advocate on or before the expiration date printed thereon. Get your friends saving these coupons for you—they all count. The other, and faster way to get votes is by securing a new and renewal subscriptions turned in a certain number of votes are issued, the number varying according to amount paid and during which "period" same are received at the campaign department (see schedule of votes elsewhere.) So, you see, the more subscriptions you secure the more you can get and the better your chances are to capture the grand capital prize. EARLY START MEANS EASY FINISH The advantages of any early start are manifest. Not only do you have the full time in which to secure the winning votes, but now and up to and including January 2nd, 1926, you will receive the maximum schedule of votes on subscriptions, while those who put off entering until a later date will have to take what is left. Don't lose valuable time by waiting to "see what the other fellow is going to do." But pitch right in and show the "other fellow" how to do it. ADVISORY BOARD It is the sincere aim of this newspaper to conduct this election, from start to finish in a fair honorable and impartial manner. Every precaution has been taken to safeguard the interests of participants and absolute honesty in all dealings is guaranteed. However, not all wisdom lies with any one man or institution, and for that Advisory Board has been decided upon, whose functions shall be to decide any question of sufficient moments that happen to arise during the competition and from which a committee shall be selected to act as judges and count the votes the last night of the election. REGULATIONS 13—In case of typographical or any other error, it is understood that neither the publisher nor campaign manager shall be held responsible, except for the necessary correction upon the same. 14—Every candidate is an authorized agent of the Kansas City Advocate and as such may collect subscription payments from present as well as from new subscribers. 15—Extension of subscriptions will receive votes according to the vote schedule in effect when the first subscription was paid. 16—It is distinctly understood and agreed that candidates will be responsible for all moneys collected and that they will remit such amounts in full at frequent intervals or on demand to the campaign department. 17—There will be several big prizes awarded, besides a 20% cash commission to all ACTIVE non-prize winners, but it is distinctively understood that in the event ANY candidate becomes INACTIVE, failing to make a cash report twice a week, he or she will, at the decision of the management, become disqualified and thereby forfeit all right to a prize or commission. No commission will be paid under $5.00. 18—To insure absolute fairness in the awarding of prizes, the race will be brought to a close under "sealed ballot box" system, and will be under the personal supervision of two or more judges selected from the Advisory Board. During the last period of the election, the box, locked and sealed, will repose in the vaults of a local bank, where candidates and their friends will deposit their final collections and reserve votes. And not until the race has been declared closed will the seals be broken, the box unlocked, and the judges begin a final count. In this way, no one, not even the campaign manager, each possibly know the voting strength of the respective candidates which precludes any possibility of favoritism and insures fairness to the minuteest degree. 19—The Kansas City Advocate reserves the right to amend or add to the rules of this election if necessary for the protection of the interests of both the candidates and this newspaper. The right is also reserved to increase and add to the list of prizes. 20—Twenty-five thousand extra votes will be given on each new yearly subscription during the first period of the campaign; 10,000 extra votes will be given on each new yearly subscription during the second period and 5000 votes the third period. No extension or extra votes during the last period. 21—The Kansas City Advocate guarantees fair and impartial treatment to all candidates, but should any question rise, the decision of the management will be absolute and final. 88—Campaign opens today—closing January 30, 1926.

Sending our missionaries into home and foreign fields, sending our teachers into houses of light and power and soul making, sending our superannuates and widows and orphans to stations of want and poverty, because of the passing of their almost martyred dead, conscientious churchmen must be serious and unselfish. Each of these classes become a meritorious payee, unto whom we have guaranteed a stipulated sum. This sum is based upon the definitely admitted numerical strength of our general body. For every member listed, the church promises, to pay to those with whom we have contracted for services either past or present, a certain per cent of one dollar per capita, which through its agencies, it stands obligated to collect. It is clear then, that in order to carry out the obligation of this stupendous intention and promise, it is necessary to have the good will of every individual of whom we may by law, expect to be a contributing factor. In our articles of incorporation, set forth in the discipline, we talk about bequeaths, donations, gifts, grants, etc., "to be held in trust for the general church." Now what does this mean? It means that we anticipate the day when the philanthropy of our membership will be more largely inspired because of the accomplished and expected result of our operation, and the conserving interest manifested by our directorate. Now when some blatent fool so far forgets his obligation to the general body and its program, and goes forth selfishly to deter our expected success, by maligning, black-mailing and slandering the name and reputation of those whom we have placed in a position of trust, in order to discourage and disconcert those upon whose charity we can only hope for perpetuity, the time has come for the people to rise en masse against such destructive conduct, as a matter of sheer self defense. The Council For the correction of such gross errors "The Council" is not without power. The church has supplied it with the necessary machinery and all they have to do is to set it in motion. The fact is, that in every part of the church there is increasing demand for a better protection of the connection's interests at the hands of the bishops. The only thing needful on the part of that "high body" is a fuller cooperation one with the other to protect the honor of the entire bench against the unlawful conduct of those defamors placed in positions to be heard, and from what ever rank they may rise. The distribution of bishops over our various boards, the fact that the boards and the departments of the church are represented by members from each district of the connection; the fact of our positive law controlling the conduct of the whole seems to me to give the "Council" a method by which it could and should act ad interim. In our little book of power and certain rule, we read: "General officer accused of a crime sufficient to exclude a person from the kingdom of grace and glory, if a minister, shall be subject to the rules for trying minister; if a layman, shall be subject to the rules for trying laymen; as every minister is connected with a Quarterly conference, and every layman, a society." Now that there might be sure and certain administration of our protective laws and the instigation of any legalized act by our administrative body to effect that protection where the good of the body requires it, we have elected bishops for life, and made them free. Free from political necessity. Our system rotates bishops that they might not be tempted to yield for the good of the work in the immediate territory over which they are presiding, to any bossism at expense of the church. We gave to the bench, a "legalized council" with the hope that after their semi-annual assembly, they would grasp the judicial power and direct it for the suppression of wrong, and unless the council takes this protective provision, and stands together upon a unified agreement to protect, our cause must be irretrievably ruined. Be it known that under our system we have one episcopate, functioning through those elevated upon our episcopal bench. Just as there is but one district, superior or supreme court, functioning through as many judges as constitute it; so that when one judge is unjustly assailed, the attack is against the court which he represents. By the same reasoning when one of our "Reverend Fathers" is attacked unjustly, the aim is against the entire episcopate, for you cannot effect a part of any organic Then we have that other type of youth who thinks that in order to be a man he must first be a ruffian. Disappointment In love wrecks many a malden's life, but most of them are willing to be given the heir. Science enables us to "sall in the elements," but it sometimes falls to tell us how to get back to earth again. A man in London has been fined 10 shillings for whistling for a taxi. Then how does a Londoner locate his dog? A young woman asks a lovelorn department editor, "Do clothes count?" They count, but not much beyond four or five. Another season has opened on Broadway with three or four new arguments for formaldehyde in the drama. It is estimated that crime is costing this country $10,000,000,000 a year. It comes high, but of course we must have it. The newest song hit is entitled "I Miss My Swiss," apparently written by a gentleman who had just hocked his watch. A pretty good come-back to use on the traffic officer is one that is delivered about six blocks from the traffic officer. Uncle Sam has just taken a game census. It is probable that mah-jongg wasn't included, because that seems to be extinct. It is said only one person in a thousand can dance the Charleston properly, and if it is too proper it isn't a Charleston. In case one is absent-minded and wears a two-pants suit, there is virtually nothing to be done about it but buy two sets of keys. A scientific paper says that life is anything but a safe bet after forty. Well, you ought to be thankful if the reckless autoists let you live that long. A new nonstop Bible-reading record has been established. Wonder why somebody doesn't introduce nonstop contests in practicing more of its precepts? Another point that isn't entirely clear is whether the unidentified genius who writes blurbs for book jackets also collects royalties on his fiction. Woman may be rapidly emancipating herself, but as yet she hasn't succeeded in establishing the custom of killing fatted calves for prodigal daughters. Chicago's claim to being the center of the greatest rose-growing district in the world is not very vigorously pressed when prevailing winds are from the south. Fable: Although he was a popular author he was never revealed in his photographs with a pipe in his mouth, and the facial expression of a stricken spaniel. The census figures showing that there are 400,000,000 hens in the country gives us an idea of how the omelet situation could be relieved if the hens only would apply themselves. Luther Burbank has created a new type of sweet corn and new varieties of the aster and rose. We ain't interested in what he creates. When is he going to destroy the carrot and sphincth? The standing in the Channel Crossing league at the close of the season is as follows: Channel, 1.000. Oratory is said to be in its decline. That is exactly what the situation demands—more that will decline. The prosperity of this country and the general satisfaction of the people must be maddening to a radical. The public may get tired of the pictures of bathing girls but the bathing girls never get tired of publicity. Anyway, they can't revive an old complaint and apply it to the modern girl—that she puts everything on her back. "Never mind," sighed the Chicago motorist, "it's only a pistol shot—I thought for a minute it was one of the tires." There is a lot in the way you say it: What the college boy calls an allowance is only what the Briton means by "dole." Musicians five miles apart played a radio duet, indicating that no matter how far away a saxophone is, you can't escape it. It must be wonderful to be so rich you can keep on wearing shoes after they have become disreputable and easy on the feet. whole without by the same act doing injury to the unit.

Schaefer tells an amusing story anent the modern doctor's practice of extracting teeth as a cure for so many ailments. "A man went into a clinic one day and complained that he had lots of trouble biting his finger nails. "Well, the medical staff in charge did everything they could to find out what was the cause of this pernicious psychiatric phenomenon. They couldn't find the cause anywhere. As a last resort they looked at the man's teeth. There was something suspicious about them. They pulled out a couple of them. Instantly the patient showed improvement! Encouraged by their success, they pulled them all out! Their patient pronounced himself completely cured and from that day to this he has never bitten his finger nails!" His Attempt "My least boy, Bearcat, got sorter rilled, as it were, at his brother, Runt, ylist'd'y and hit him on the head with the ax," related Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge. "Great guns!" ejaculated an acquaintance. "What was he doing with the ax, anyhow?" "Trying to —yaw-w-wn—make Runt eat it, or something that-a-way, according to what the rest of the kids said afterwards."—Kansas City Star.

Zavalishin, has just made public a vehement protest against “The Eagle.” The protest reads as follows: “The motion picture play entitled “The Eagle’ in which Rudolph Valentino starred as Doubrovsky, is a misrepre- sentation when it purports to be the story written by the great Russian author Alexander Poushkin. Not only is the historical setting incorrect, but from beginning to end the production is full of interpolations. “The introduction of Catherine the Great (who, by the way. Mr. Poush- kin never mentioned in his stery) es- pecially is an unfavorable rel2, does much to prejudice the pubiie mind, which does not investi~ate. Lut takes for granted that the characterization upon the screen is based on actual fact. 4 “We take this opportunity to voice our deep protest against the use of the name of the great Russian author in connection with a story he never wrote.” TUCKER-GREEN On Wednesday evening, Nov. 25, Mrs, Neutie Tucker of Argentine, and Mr. Thomas H. Green of Stockton, Kansas, were quietly married at the home of the ‘bride, 3520 Barber Ave, The bridal couple were attended by , Mrs. Goldie King, as matron of honor and Mr. J. Jackson as best man. The wedding party stood beneath a beau- tifully arranged bridal canopy in the spacious living room, and the cere- mony was perfromed by Rev. Wm. Williams, pastor of Mount Zion A. M. E. church. Besides the immediate members of the brides’ family only a limited number of friends witnessed the marriage. After the ceremony, an informal re- ception was held and the guests were served danity refreshments. The bride wore a beautiful gown of Chinese blue velvet, and wore the grooms’ gift, a diamond necklace. Mr. Green is a wealthy farmer of Stockton, Kan- sas, and besides his farm, is the own- er of other valuable real estate hold- ings. Mrs. Green is a popular matron ef Argentine, and is a past matron of Jeptha Chapter. Her friends regret very much her departure from their community. Mr. and Mrs. Green will make their home in Stockton, after the holidays.

At our last meeting, Miss Frances Addison talked on the Community Chest. Miss Addison emphasized especially the activities of our own group which are included in the chest. These are the Orphans’ Home, Douglass Hospital and Y. W. C. A., all of which are performing genuine servie. Miss Catherine Anderson gave a talk on the results which should “be obtained from the Junior College. The fact that every one should get every thing possible out of the course was brought out very fer- vently by Miss Anderson. Mr. Cordell White, parliamentar- ian of the Junior College, gave a very instructive talk on parliamen- tary usage. Mr. White set forth the general laws that govern the con. duct of a meeting. . Mrs. Cozetta K. Seals, Junior re- presentative on the annual staff, re- ported that the committee of which she is chairman has selected a play entitled “When a Fellow Needs a Friend,” which will be presented by the students of the Junior College at a later date for the benefit of the Annual. . It is the custom of the class, in order to develop good fellowship and the college spirit generally, to give social entertainments during eacn six weeks’ period. The date of the second sociat will be decided upon at our next meting.. The day before the Thanksgiving holidays the students were fortun- ate in having 2n opportunity to se- cure some first hand information as to what the freshmen are doing at the University of Kansas, Messers. James Davis and Columbus House, former Sumnerites, spoke to the English elass very interestingly on ‘the conditions that obtain at K. U., on the attitude of the students to- ward their work and on what they feel the college training is doing for them. The talks of both gentlemen were indeed interesting and we hope they will visit us again. We hope to get a great deal. out of the Junior College, and are ex- pecting to do whatever we can to raise its standard. -THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE a a aaa : ° | 3 @ Visit the BIGGEST TOY STORE for Children in Kansas City, Kansas.

In a good old-time Republican speech, delivered at Youngstown, Ohio, last week, Senator William M. Butler, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, brought the party back to its original moorings, when, in his ad- dress, which formally opened the 1926 Congressional campaign, he declared: “There must be a more general under- standing that after-all we are only members, not owners of the Republi- can party, and that we offer mem- bership in a growing concern; that we know neither CLASS, CREED, NOR RACE; that we stand for equal opportunities for all, and will fight those who seek to destroy that right.” Mr. Eugene Bell of Atchison was in the city Tuesday of this week on busi- ness.

From a psychological point of view. Music, is the art of producing sound which has a joxtopositfon of the period in which we Tive. © ‘The sound producing medium of to- day is very much different from the past.

BANNISTER. GOOD OLD GEORGIA Washington, Dec. 6—Flogging of prisoners in Georgia was abolished by the Legislature some months ago but there appears to be a desire, on the part of the wardens, for a return of the lash. One of the present brutal methods of convict punishment is to fasten a prisoner in a shallow box and to smear molasses on his exposed faee, to attract flies. The arms of the prisoner are bound to prevent brushing’ the insects away. It is re- ported that at other convict eamps prisoners are backed up to a post with their arms chained behind them. Their arms are then raised as high as possible and then fastened to nails, the prisoners being left in this posi- tion for hours. Uniform punishment methods will be sought at a Decem- ber meeting of the Georgia prison commission and members of the State Board of Health will pass on the hu- maneness of the proposed disciplinary methods.
