CO-OPERATION. Last week we had something to say about co-operation, of how in all ways and manners, it works well for our group. And we stated then, that we would have more to say on the subject of specific cases, which were of easy observation in our group. In taking the position that we do, we find that we were in unison with so great a man as President Coolidge, as will be seen in the reading of his most excellent message to congress. One among the strongest features in it, was that on co-operation marketing between farmers; wherein he asserts that it is the hope of salvation in successful farming. And it is equally true of all other callings in life. And no other group has more to profit in that line than we have, and especially true it is, in this age when conditions of living are strictly drawn on every possible line which may be commercialized. And there is no line which is played more strongly than that of race and color. And in such cases, the balance is always aganist the weaker race. And nothing in the game and play is more damaging or destructive to such weaker race, than a false notion which pervades it, the weaker race; to the effect. That in all instances where there is a contest of right between members of it, and other and more powerful groups—that the interest of such weaker race is best subserved at the hands and by the efforts of the other race. Such a notion is grossly false first of all, and woefully weak and of poor economy. This may be seen daily, in the ordinary transactions of life, and in no case more plainly than in the professions, and particularly the profession of law. Where there are palpable instances of where members of our group are misled, neglected and grossly overreached by members of the other group—in all of which instances they could and would receive decidedly better and more efficient service at the hands of members of their own race, in the same line of profession.

Eat Sunday Dinner at the Cozy Nook, Fifth and Quindaro. Number 20 ANDER Lee Jones. by the decree of the band's name. vision of defeat fell upon the Rhine- ry in the courtroom at White Plains, so to be one of the most glaring cases of annullment to Kip Rhinelander, Jones, his Negro bride. It was an eager sympathetic crowd that had listened attentively for over two weeks to the brilliant oratory of Lee Parsons Davis, Alice's lawyer, that with deathlike silence, heard the verdict read. Victory Basis for Divorce Suit. It is the firm belief of most of those present that Alice will now sue her wealthy husband for divorce upon the basis of the outcome of this trial. The court ruled that Rhinelander was aware at the time of his marriage that his wife was of Negro descent, therefore he was not deceived as was alleged. Jury Not Prejudiced. The jury rendered an unbiased verdict and this is quite a victory for Alice as well as our group. The color question never entered in the case. The findings of the jury were based on the evidence as stated in the trial. The men who composed the jury deserve much credit for their fairness in view of all the ridiculous things that were said and done during the trial; for it must have been trying upon them to weigh evidence in face of some of the things presented. Alice Not in Court. Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander was not present when the verdict was read, she being confined to her home as a result of nervous shock from having to disrobe before the jury. This was done to bring out a point as to the color of her skin. Father Creates Scene. Several times during the closing arguments Mr. Jones, Alice's father, interrupted the court, when the plaintiff's counsel called him a cab driver, by reminding him that he was not a cab driver. ENTERTAINMENT SUCCESS The Living Picture Entertainment given by Mrs. Lulu Gibson, under the auspices of the Usher Board of Trinity Institutional church, Fifth St. and Greeley Ave., on Tuesday evening, Dec. 8, was a huge success.

WALKER Friends, relatives and acquaintances of Mr. J. H. Walker, 816 Nebraska avenue, were shocked beyond measure upon hearing of the accident which befell him on Friday morning at 8th street and Minnesota avenue and which resulted in his death. Mr. Walker was on his way to work and was standing in the safety zone waiting for an approaching street car. Just as the street car stopped and Mr. Walker placed his foot on the step to board it, a Ford truck fairly dashed through the zone, struck Mr. Walker, and hurled him into the street. He suffered fatal injuries, the most serious ones on the back of the head, his side and stomach. He was immediately removed to Douglass hospital, where he recovered consciousness about noon, with no recollection of what had happened to him. His condition rapidly grew worse and death released him from his suffering Sunday morning at 7 a. m. Charles Faint, of Dasehor, Kansas, white driver of the truck was held by police pending the outcome of Mr. Walker's injuries. Since death has occurred it is probable a murder charge will be placed against him. Mr. Walker was one of Kansas City, Kansas, foremost citizens, being representative of every form of good citizenship our racial group is capable He has lived in Kansas City, Kansas, for thirty-eight years and has been an employee of the Woolf Bros., Clothing company in Kansas City, Mo., for thirty years. As a youth Mr. Walker attended grade school in Sedalia, Mo., and from there went to Hobsons Institute at Parsons, Kansas, from which school he graduated. After teaching school for several years in Missouri, he took up his residence in Kansas City, Kansas. Mr. Walker was a member of First Baptist church and was a deacon there for thirty years, and also served his church for a number of years as church clerk. He was a past W. M. of Pritchard Lodge No. 42, Kansas City, Mo., and a past officer in Gate City Lodge, Odd Fellows, Kansas City, Mo. He was a member of Koran Temple, Consistory and Knights Templars in Kansas City, Kansas, and was a past Potentate of the Shrine, past Commander-in-Chief of the Consistory and past presiding officer of the Knight Templars. At the time of his death he was holding an office in Koran Temple. Mr. Walker was unmarried and lived with an unmarried sister, Miss Kitty Walker, at 816 Nebraska avenue. Two other sisters are Mrs. George H. Brown, 330 Greeley avenue and Mrs. Mattie Johnson, 2106 No. Third street.

Vernon one of the church's strongest and scholarly prelates on the bench delivered the message at the 11 o'clock service. The church was filled with members and visitors. Bishop Vernon, as he always does, fed the hungry souls present and touched the hearts of the sinner. Rev. Geo. F. Martin, president of Flipper-Key-Davis University, Tallehasse, Oklahoma, preached a most wonderful sermon, at the evening service, both instructive and spiritual. The morning service opened with a fifteen minute talk by the pastor to the children of the Sabbath school. More than two hundred were present and occupied the front rows of pews. Master Orvil Green read the Scripture Lesson. They sang their own hymns, with Miss Bernece Wilson at the piano. Dr. Isaacs demonstrated his short sermon with a magnet.

At 11 a. m. Pastor Bronson assisted in the musical service by singing a pretty solo, then he preached a good spiritual sermon, which pleased the large congregation. Many visitors were present, and many from the Oak Ridge Baptist Church. After the offertory, 15 candidates were baptized in our glass baptistry by Rev. Riggins, pastor, of Oak Ridge Baptist Church. It was one of the most beautiful baptizings we ever witnessed. Both sexes were arrayed in white robes and while some of our members started the beautiful song, "Where He Leads Me, I Will Follow," the preacher immersed them at the end of each verse of the song. Most of the candidates were over 15 years old, and it was so solemn and spiritual we felt like we were around the real River of Jordan. Some of the congregation were in the balcony. At 4 p. m., the Forum had another large audience. At 6 p. m., the B. Y. P. U. had a large crowd, and interesting program. At 8 p. m., after Pastor Bronson had preached a fine sermon on the "Last Supper," little Albert Smiles about 7 years old, who was converted at the Week Dey. Religious school, was baptized. He seems to be born for a preacher, he is so devout. After the baptizing our pastor administered sacrament to hundreds. Several were fellowshipped into the church. Next Sunday, December 13th, greater Bible sermons will be preached. Come to Metropolitan Church, a church which God will not let fail.

I can go to Diltz meat market and buy a roast that pleases me. I never have any trouble with my meat problem. I deal with a market that carries fancy meats at cost that meets every competition. I wonder why some housewives complain of tough meats and worry about their Sunday Dinners, especially when they have company. I never have to make excuses for “Poor Meat,” or other purchases I make there during a family meal or for a large affair. The meats I buy are always tender, palateable, and its taste pleasing.” IT recommend to my friends a store that gives you equal service, honest weight and courteous treatment.

Kansas City Advocate PAGE THRER ```markdown ``` AN OCCASIONAL LETTER Bishop J. A. Gregg. South Africa. Time passes so rapidly and the calls upon one's energies, strength and resources are so incessant and insistent, that he finds himself wishing he possessed a pair of those fabled "Seven Leaegue Boots," or an "Addadin's Lamp" or that he might discover some alchemy whereby he could convert one shilling into four. To hear the constant Macedonian cry of our people from the various quarters of our work, to see how eagerly they hang upon our words; to note how white the fields are for harvest and how few are the reapers, one forgets the fatigue (or at least disregards it), thanks to God for a strong body and a willing spirit and "puts his aching shoulder to the wheel of the world's busy task with the hope that, perhaps, he has come to his position of honor for such a time as this. Since arriving here in December last we have been kept very busy, that with the building of the new Bethel Memorial Church at Cape Town, the resurrection of our work at Wilberforce Institute and the visits to the several centers of our Methodism. Already we have covered over fifteen thousand miles of travel, seventeen hundred and ninety-eight miles of which have been off the railroads, and with the trips we must still make to the three missionary conventions and the annual conference, during our first year's work in South Africa, we shall have done between twenty-three and twenty-five thousand miles. Our Episcopal District is very large—in fact too large for one man to supervise properly. Lay a map of Africa in front of you, and when you realize that from Cape Town to Blantyre in Nyasaland in a straight-away course is over two thousand miles, or about the distance from Kansas City to New York, and that you must add to that the sections on either side in Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal, Natal, Southern Rhodesia, Pondoland, Basutland, Bechuanaland, Swaziland, you get something of the vastness of it all. Since my first letter, we have visited several points in the districts of Presiding Elders Tantsi, Mabote, Marska, Mpepeto, Labala, Nojekwa, Phigeland, Gordon and Denas and are now planning with Presiding Elders Khaile, Khasake, Kuze, Mesebi, Tjaoane and Nyombole to visit their districts at an early date. I have sent to the A. M. E. Review, an account of our visit to Swaziland in Elder Mpepeto's district and I now wish to speak of trips to Phokeng the headquarters of Paramount Chief Mokgatle of the Mapherings in the district of Elder Makete, and to the Pietersburgs district under Elder Labala. I single these out from the other districts because they are in strictly native territories. The Mapherings live just out from Rustenburg, Transvaal, in a country that reminds me much of Florida, because of the extensive cultivation of oranges. They seem to be the most advanced of the natives we have yet visited in the strictly native territory. They live in good homes made of raw bricks with roofs of thatch or corrugated iron. The homes of the chiefs and some of the more well to do are made of burned bricks. All of these houses are surrounded by spaceous yards enclosed by mud fences from three to four feet high. The yards proper are about a foot or eighteen inches higher than the road or ground around and are made by the women. The material used is clay mixed with cow manure, which is beaten hard and smeared with a dark substance, giving it a high polish resembling master-builder's cement. The women take great pride in the fences, yards, stoops, floors and walls of their homes. With their fingers they trace in the clay, while it is still damp, patterns and designs of surprising regularity. They make blue, white and red pigments from the soil which they use to fashion these fingered designs and so symmetrically do they execute them that I thought one such wall done in blue and white was covered with wall paper until I noticed an irregularity, which, upon closer inspection, revealed the fact that it was one of their famous "Hand made" walls. After a bit of conversation with sub-chief Stephen Melagoe, the head of the village of Luka, one of the forty or more under the Paramount chief, I found that he was one of the students of Bethel institute some twenty-one years ago when I was there. We were given a rousing reception on Saturday night, to which the members of the other congrega- tions joined, and on Sunday we held three splendid services, baptizing a number of babies and taking quite a large class of young men and women into the full membership of the Church. Sub-chief Stephen is both a member and an officer of our Church, and although the Paramount Chief belongs to the Lutheran Church, he is very kindly disposed toward us, and wishes to send his daughter to school in America. On Wednesday, September 2, after the long and tiresome ride from Cape Town, we were met at Pretoria by Rev. Lebala and started on a thirteen day's trip through his district. Our first stop was at Warmbaths, where an auto was to have met us to take us to Moheme. When it failed to put in its appearance, we were compelled to take a truck. Our seats on top of the load were none too pleasant, but we reached the place without mishap and found a great throng awaiting us. The sight made me think of our old fashioned camp meetings at home, for they had come from ten to fifty-five miles to this meeting, some of them having spent two days and two nights on the way. Their means of travel had been by foot, ox wagons, donkey carts, and mules, and as I looked at them I thought of the throng coming to the holy mountain of Jerusalem as prophesied in Isaiah 66:22. It was very interesting indeed to see them gathered around their twinkling fires preparing their meals and singing their beautiful African hymns. As the church was rather small, we held the meetings out doors. In the afternoon the schools gave us a reception, and at night the church and community gave another. The next day we held a large meeting beneath the trees, at which we baptized 14 babies, received a large number of probationers into full membership and administered the Lord's Supper to the people who had come such long distances for the purpose. On the last night before we left for the train, the young people organized an impromptu entertainment for our pleasure. The whole was staged in the large yard of the home where we were stopping. The moon was full and the humidity of the atmosphere gave it a brilliance that is ever the wonder of those from other climes. There were four groups of singers, representing the four schools of the district, and the concert at once took on the nature of a sort of contest, to which the large crowd gathered in the yard and leaning over the fence from the road gave instant approval or disapproval. Quaint native airs, intermixed with a sprinkle of native "jazz" with now and then at attempt at Amreican spirituals, made up the list. One sung by a group of boys in English (?) was a sort of actoin song each verse of which ended in "I'm just from Cheek-a-go," and it was some time before I recognized them as from the "windy city" of Chicago. We left on a late train for Nylstroom arriving just before day, where Mrs. Gregg had her first experience in a "covered wagon," one of the old Boer Treking type drawn by fourteen oxen. The next day we held two services, baptizing a number and administering the Lord's Supper: At night we were given a reception, caught a late train and arrived at Petersburg at 8:30 Saturday evening. Saturday night a receptin was held at a large hall and Sunday we preached three times. In a conversation with Mr. Thema, the head of the native congress of Petersburg, I learned that he is a former teacher of Lovedale college, and has been instrumental in sending three boys to America for education, one of whom is his half brother, Nathaniel Motlange, upon whom I conferred the degree of B. A. my last year at Wilberfore university. Monday we drove fifty-five miles to Molehego a very thrifty and interesting community under a young chief who is a local preacher in our church. We held a great outdoor meeting with his people and others who had come from distant points. In the hills a few miles away is a hospital conducted by the Frantz family, Germans are actually doing a splendid bit of real missionary work. Many years ago young Frantz and his wife, both doctors, consecrated themselves to THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Buy On Credit Buy On Credit We are here to extend you all the credit you want.

For a long time they had only their own funds and what their kindly disposed friends in Germany sent them. They have reared a family, all the children of which are devoted to the cause of their parents, the oldest son having received his medical degree from a German university and returned to take up the work of his father who recently passed away. The union government has now granted them a subsidy and has made their hospital a base for the care of virulent diseases of the natives of that section. About two miles away from the main hospital is the leper colony. For the first time in our lives, we saw unfortunate people suffering from the awful disease of leprosy. Oh, how our hearts went out to those poor sufferers, some of them with only stubs from which the hands and feet had been eaten, and others with parts of their faces gone. As we passed along through the colony we had some misgivings, but the Frants daughter told us we need have no fear so long as we did not touch the diseased ones. They have plenty of fruit trees, fine truck gardens and a small farm on which they raise most of the food stuffs for their own consumption. How grateful they seemed to Miss Frantz as they called their greetings to her. It was distressing beyond words, and when we got out of sight of those poor people, we thanked God for our own undiseased bodies. The Frantz family certainly deserves the prayers of all Christians, for theirs is a real sacrifice. The next stage of our journey was to Ramakopa's Kraal, a distance of forty-seven miles. The old Paramount chief, Mamokotope, is a very unique character and showed great interest in our people of America. He told me of a tradition that has been handed down for many years in their nation of the stealing of some of their people by whites who took them to the coast and landed them onto a ship which then raised white wings and sailed away across the sea. He wanted to know if we are descendants of those people, and I told him that it might be so. This is the way our conversation was carried on: he would speak to his son, his son to Rev. Mabuleong, Rev. Mabulelong to Rev. Lebala and Rev. Lebala to me; my messages would go back to him through Lebala, Mahulelong and his son. Sikukuneland, some seventy miles over behind a great range of mountains, which is reached through a very narrow pass, was our next place of visit. The Paramount chief, Sikukune, is an intelligent man, having attended school at Lovedale college. There are some thirty or forty thousand people under him. He gave us a splendid reception according to the custom of his people, and looked the part of a ruler. He was dressed in western style, but wore the belt of tiger skin which signifies his royalty. He is a member of our church and has given his youngest daughter, a girl of about twelve to the church, which means that she is the special care of the church and that the local congregation is under her patronage. Entering and leaving Sikukuneland, we had to cross the Olephant's river, through the drift (ford) of which we had to have ten oxen tow our car. Taking off my shoes and rolling up my trousers, I got out into the water to take a picture of our party crossing the stream. I was careful to be in a shallow place where I could see the bottom around me, for crocodiles lurk in the damp places. Our last stops were Hamenskraal, Makapanstad and Kunane, where we met Makapan, the regent who is ruling for his young nephew who is at school in Cape Town, Kunane and Matebe. When we left Pretoria I wondered why Rev. Lebala was carrying so many boxes of food, but I soon learned. This district is a very poor section of our work and very often the people would say, "Bishop, we are very happy to see you and Mrs. Gregg but we are sorry that we have no food to place before you." This is not to be wondered at, when you realize that these pastors receive for a year's salary from thirteen to seventy-five dollars. Each is serving a circuit of from four to five points five and thirty miles apart, which places they must reach on foot. Rev. Lebala is known as the "Bicycle Preacher" for he travels over his district on his wheel. These poor preachers are doing real missionary work in preaching the Gospel to "them that sit in darkness." But, you ask, why cannot the chiefs help? They have never learned to give anything, for all their lives the chiefs have been receivers. One evening when our food had run out and we were making a meal of dry bread, rancid butter and a cup of tea, keeping our cups covered with saucers and incessantly waving our hands against an army of flies, only a little less troublesome than Pharch's pleague, we thought we were suffering for the Gospel's sake until we realized that for months and months all these people have to eat is porridge made from mealies and kaffir corn, and that their fight against the flies is eternal. When we saw a poor woman come up to the table where the offering was being received and hesitatingly place thereon two eggs, we thought of that other woman of whom the Master said she had given her all, we thanked God for the privilege of serving with people who are actually sacrificing fr the Gospel. We have placed Dr. F. Herman Gow at the head of Bethel Institute, and he is giving splendid service. He and Mrs. Gow are fitting in the work nicely. The education of Dr. Gow, Dr. Tantsi and Rev. and Mrs. Maxeka is bearing excellent fruit in their Fatherland. The contractors are putting the roof on the Bethel Memorial Church this week. in Grand Lodge ons Officers Wichita, Kas. Grand Lodge Organizer, W. H. Garnett, Newton, Kas.
