Under the supervision of Prof. Joe E. Herriford, Sr., the spacious auditorium had been handsome and artistically decorated with a color scheme and lavishness that had never been attempted on such a scale in this city before. The orchestra was almost completely hidden in a bower of palms, plants and cut flowers ingeniously arranged into a beautiful landscape from whence issued entrancing and enlivening music and all over the hall were great baskets of carnations, cut flowers and American beauty roses which mutely demonstrated that expense had not been considered in working out this beautiful scheme of decoration. This club has as its president, Hon. L. A. Knox, attorney at law, who is serving his see and term. Secretary is Mr. Geo. K. Williams, registrar of Western University; treasurer, Mr. L. C. Stewart, HON. L. A. KNQX President of the famous Ivanhoe Club and one of Kansas City's foremost Attorneys. the well known member of the firm of Stewart & Smith, real estate agents; chairman of the committee on music and decorations, Prof. Joe E. Herriford, sr., principal of the Lincoln school; chairman of the committee on refreshments, is Kansas City's famous and popular caterer, Mr. W. Frederick Fairfax. Prof. A. M. Wilson had charge of door and invitations. Editor Crews and wife were present as the special guests of the club and the Madam carried a beautiful bouquet of American beauty roses presented by the officers of the organization. Among the many beautiful costumes that attracted special attention were those of Mrs. J. Edward Perry, Mrs. Slater Logan, of Columbia, Mo.; Mrs. C. H. Calloway, Mrs. W. C. Hueston, Mrs. The Kansas City Sun W. E. Griffin, Mrs. M. N. Young, Miss Margaret Bond, Miss Ruth Bradley, Mrs. J. H. Clayborne, Miss Ann Croschwait, Miss Beulah Douglass, Mrs. Jeane McCampbell, Mrs. J. A. Jones, and Miss Sue Hutchins. One of the delightful incidents of the evening was the arrival of Dr. and Mrs. T. A. Fletcher who had just been married at high noon and with their briday party arrived at the hall at 11:30. As they came in the door the orchestra switched from a two step to the familiar tune of "Here comes the bride" and they were greeted with much hand clapping and many congratulations. Mrs. Fletcher looked exceedingly charming in her magnificent costumes as well as did her bridesmaid Miss Ann Crosthwait and Mrs. C. H. Phillips, of St. Louis, her matron of honor. Dancing was indulged in until an early hour and all left for their homes unanimously agreeing that this was the greatest event Kansas City society has ever known. Much credit is due President Knox, Prof. Joe E. Herriford, Sr., and their splendid corps of assistants for the transcendent beauty and scheme of decoration as well as the magnificent success of the party. The gentlemen, with but two exceptions, were dressed costume de riguer and were really a handsome bunch of men. Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Fagan Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Calloway Mr. and Mrs. Joe. E.

James Weldon Johnson Chosen Field Secretary for N. A. A. C. P.—New Stamford for dean of Nat'l [Released for publication upon receipt of Roy Nash, Secretary.] New York, Dec. 18.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at the December meeting of the Board of Directors, appointed Mr. James Weldon Johnson to the new created position of Field Secretary. Mr. Johnson is well known throughout America as an author, of distinction, and as prize winner in the recent contest of the Philadelphia Ledger for editorials on "Why Hughes Should Be Elected." His appointment indicates that a consolidation of forces is being effected amongst colored Americans at the present time, and that the substantial unanimity 100 of opinion expressed by the leaders of all schools of though represented last summer at the Amenia Conference is working out in the direction of a more united front to the common enemies of the race. James Weldon Johnson was born in Jacksonville, Fla., June 17, 1871, where he was educated in the public schools. In 1894 he graduated from Atlanta University with the degree of A. B., and he received his master's degree at the same university in 1904. His southern birth and southern training will make it possible for him to work and organize in the South as no northern man could. Mr. Johnson also spent three years in graduate work at Columbia University, in the City of New York, and for several years was principal of the colored high school at Jacksonville. He was admitted to the Florida bar in 1897 and practiced law in Jacksonville until 1901, when he removed to New York to collaborate with his brother, J. Rosamond Johnson, in writing for the light opera stage. He married Grace E. Nall of New York in 1910. of brocaded pink charmeuse embroidered in gold. She wore a pink hat to match.

Do You Know That Advertising is the Life of Trade and the Only Real Business Getter Mr. Johnson, too, has had an interesting career in the public service. In 1906 he was appointed United States Consul at Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, being transferred as Consul to Corinto, Nicaragua, in 1909, and to the Azores in 1912. While at Corinto, he looked after the interests of his country during the stormy days of the revolution which resulted in the downfall of Zelaya and the abortive revolution against Diaz. His knowledge of Spanish has been put to use in the translation of many Spanish plays. He was the translator for the English libretto of "Goyescas," the Spanish grand opera produced at the Metropolitan Opera in 1915; and Mr. Johnson also has several translations from the French to his credit. But it is as an American author that he is best known. His poems have appeared in the Century, the Independent, the Crisis and other magazines, and his novel, "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man," is one of the most powerful stories ever woven about the theme of race relations. ```markdown ``` Mr. Johnson is a member of the American Society of Authors and Composers; of the Civic Club, New York, and is vice-president of the New York Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Recently he has been on a six weeks' mission throughout the South, representing the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, in an endeavor to persuade the editors of the leading white newspapers to take an enlightened attitude toward the exodus of Negro labor at present going on. Everywhere he was received with the greatest courtesy and consideration, and much good is expected to result from his presentation of the Negro case. Mr. Johnson's great abilities as writer, speaker and politician will henceforth be devoted to organize the millions of Negroes in America and spreading the doctrine of an uncompromising demand for their full right as American citizens until the program of simple social justice for which the N.

Negro Leader Sold Both That Was to Make "Subjects" Rich. The Barnacle Crusted Vessel Is Now in the Port From Which It Sailed to Establish Dream Empire Two Years Ago. From the Brooklyn Eagle. With the arrival in Erie Basin on the end of an 800-foot towline the other day of the barnacle crusted steamship Liberia, pitted with rust and sticky with tropical mildew from tossing many months at anchor off the African Gold Coast, the last chapter of the romance of an African negro's dream of a black empire in Africa was closed. The Liberia was back within three hundred feet of the spot from which it sailed in March, 1914, laden with negro men and women whom "King Sam" was to lead to a new promised land. Two years and eight months from the day it lifted anchor the ship was home again, and "King Sam" and those of his followers who escaped drowning and disease are scattered among the villages of the west coast of the continent of their ancestors, glad if they can scrape together a living, their dream of empire turned to memories of a half forgotten nightmare. "King Sam" himself, according to officers who were sent out to bring the ship home, has married his dusky stenographer he took with him and has had himself elected "omahin," chief of a village in the "bush" where he lives, clad in one garment, and does a small business buying and selling cocoa beans. Handful of Nations His Empire. Handul of Nations His Empire. His "empire" consists of a tiny group of African natives living in mud huts in the jungle. The Liberia came in towed by the Zealandia, a ship of the Universal Transportation Company, after a passage that in itself was one of the great romances of the sea. When the Universal Company, in scouring the seas for ships with which to carry the wealth creating cargoes that followed the beginning of the war, learned that King Sam's ark was lying deserted off the African coast, they offered, it is said, a prize of $65,000 to anyone who would go out and bring it back the six thousand miles to Brooklyn. Wrecking and towing companies, whose business it is to take hazards in salvaging ships, and even the mushroom navigation companies ready for almost any wild adventure from which money was to be gained, passed the offer by. Eventually the C. W. Morse, a wooden tug, started out on the long trip loaded with less than half enough coal for the voyage. It was never heard of again, and shipping men believe that the tug, its captain, his wife and the crew are lost. Finally the officers of the company made a proposition to the crew of the Zealandia, their own vessel. The crew accepted. The Zealandia itself had been engaged in some of the wildest of the war's attempts to evade the British blockade of German ports and its men were ready for anything. Crew of Rescue Ship Deserted. Two Brooklyn men were sent out ahead to disentangle the Liberia from the snarl of maritime litigation in which King Sam's peculiar system of financing had involved it. They were Capt. William A. T. Miller and Chief Officer Henry Lendeberg. The two went to Liverpool and from there to a port on the African coast. The rest of the trip to Animaboe, where the Liberia was lying, they made in a native surf boat. There they met King Sam, and after weeks of figuring cleared up the debts that held the ship a captive. For months they tossed on the swells outside the mud village of Animabo, waiting for the Zealandia to come for them. Disease came and five times Chief Officer Lendeberg was taken to the British government hospital up the coast suffering from tropical fever. The Zealandia left Brooklyn on September 17 last, commanded by Capt A. W. Barlow, with supplies for the Liberia and iron piping and tools for making repairs in the crippled ship they were to bring home. At Barbdoes the crew of the Zealandia sickened of the venture and left the ship. Another crew was shipped, and the vessel went on to the Azores, where again the ship was left without men to man it. A number of "bravos," natives mixed with Portuguese blood, were signed on and the rest of the voyage was made with them. Natives Couldn't Endure Shoes. In October the Zealandia drew up beside the rusty "ark" off Animaboe and October 18 the long return passage began. Captain Miller and his chief officer stayed on the Liberia with a crew of seven "Fantees," coal black surf men from a neighboring African settlement, who wore one small blanket and no shoes, and who were so lazy that "a hookworm is chain lightning beside them," according to one of their white superiors. An 800-foot, 8-inch hemp hawser was made fast to the blits of the two ships, with the "bravos" watching the end board the Zealandia and the "Fantees" on board the salvaged vessel. The long return passage of fifty-five days was made in almost perfect weather and that, according to an officer on the Zealandia, was the only thing that saved the ship in tow. As the ships came northward the "Fantees" began to suffer with the cold. In November the ships stopped at Barbados for coal and there clothes were obtained for the natives. They doned them for comfort and not for modesty's sake, but, on their arrival here, though covered with two and three suits a piece and wearing head coverings all the way from leopard skin caps to bath towels, they could not endure the shoes. In port here curious scarfers from all the ships at the Basin wandered over the Liberia's deck tracing from what they saw the story of "King Sam" and his voyage back to the land of black men, and they found the ship a veritable historical museum of the undertaking. In King Sam's "Holy Room." Why, OnyankoPong Guhna. and underneath the cushions of the seats about the wall in curious proximity, mildewed, were a white robe and an ironbound "billy club" which looked as if Sam might have held it in reserve to influence his followers when exhortation failed. In the saloon, backed against the wall, was an upright piano, the life of many a clog dance and many a "meetin'" of the board, but today capable of voicing only a muffled tunk-a-tunk-tunk. Where the Darkies Danced. Near the piano a circle of a double thickness of the linoleum had been worn through by heels of the clogging darkies, and all around the wall the front of the seats were jagged marred where the heels had stamped the tem in the floor. On the same seats were scraps of hymnals and inscribed with names of the colonists and the home towns in Oklahoma and Kansas which they had left behind. In the stewards' little office a moldy rubbed stamp, moldy stationery and twenty-three keys, the whole outfit lettered imposingly with the words, "Ethiopian Steamship Line," are all that remain of what was a widely advertised American corporation whose stock sold to trusting blacks at $25 a share and which was to bring fortune and power to the investors. "A GOOD PRESCRIPTION FOR DAILY USE." Don't worry; seek peace and pursue it. Don't hurry, too swift arrives as tardily as too slow. Sleep and rest abundantly. The best physicians are Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet and Dr. Merriman. Spend less nervous energy than you make; work like a man, but don't be worked to death. Be cheerful; a light heart lives long. Think only healthful thoughts. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Avoid passion and excitement; a moment's anger may be fatal. Associate with healthy people; health, as well as disease, is contagious. Don't carry the whole world on your shoulders, far less the universe; trust in the good Lord. Never despair; lost hope is a fatal disease. NEGROES RODE AS HEROES COLONEL OF TENTH CAVALRY TELLS OF CHASE FOR VILLA. The Troopers Smiled and Joked at the Tortures of Snowstorms and Sandstorms on the Mexican can Deserts. Washington, Dec. 20.—The story of the chase of the hard riding Tenth Cavalry, Negroes, after Villa and his bandits through the desert of Chihuahua was told by the colonel of that regiment before the Senate subcommittee on military affairs today. Col W. C. Brown, undeterred by the "military lockjaw" that has kept back expressions from most of Pershing's officers, gave his account in boot and saddle language. "We rode fifty miles the first day and fifty-eight miles the second," the colonel said. "We rode through snowstorms and sandstorms. Every night it was freezing cold and my men had only their light khaki uniforms. The officers had the same lot as the men. I used my saddle for a pillow every night. We were short of rations and water. It was torture. Smiled Through All Hardships. "But I want to say that my Negro troops stood that test in wonderful shape. They were always happy and contented. No hardships could drive their broad smiles and their jokes away. They sang and chatted through it all. No white troops could have stood the ordeal as they stood it. Not one dropped out. "The suffering of the horses was pitiful. We lost 10 per cent of them and would have lost many more except for the skill of my men as horsemen. The poor animals were on a third of the full corn ration and there was no feed in the long dry grass that we found along the way. The men dismounted in the bad places and led their mounts, and they were as careful of them as it was possible to be. Mexican Scotts." Mexicans Scattered Like Quail. "We had only one fight. That was at Aguas Calientes. After a 50-mile march we ran into a Villa band and we chased them fifteen miles. We killed forty of them and I don't know how many we wounded. They ran like qualls. They hid in the long grass and got away in the ravines. It wasn't fighting. It was hunting. "We got absolutely no aid from the Mexicans. They lied to us, misdirected us and in every way helped Villa's cut-throats. The Carranzista commander was a milk and water sort of fellow without will or ability to do anything. The Mexicans took our money, but would not accept our receipts. I had to spend $1,600 of my own money to get provisions for my men and horses. "The only reason Villa escaped us was because we had no aid in tracing him. The men he had plundered turned against us. We were right on his heels, but he had the advantage of knowing the country and that let him save his hide." THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1916 INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright 1916, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR DECEMBER 31 CHRIST'S COMING AND COMING TO CHRIST (REVIEW). READING LESSON-Rev. 22:6-14; 15:21. GOLDEN TEXT-The spirit and the bride say, come. And he that hearth, let him say, come. And he that is atirst, let him come. He that wills, let him take of the water of life freely.-Rev. 22:17. It is possible in lessons one to nine to review the past quarter's work, in a logical, chronological manner, but lessons seven and nine are not in their proper chronological setting. These lessons extend over five years of Paul's life from about 58 A. D. to 63 A. D. They are five wonderful years, and the last of the authentic years we have of the life of this wonderful man. The review should of course center in Paul, his conduct, character and teachings. The first twelve chapters of the Book of Acts, in which we have chiefly been studying, cover a period of about sixteen years, A. D. 30-46, with Jerusalem as the center. The rest of the Book of Acts cover another period of approximately 16 years from 46 to 62, and is the record of the foreign missionary work of Paul and his companions, Paul being of course the central character. The series for this quarter close with the vision of the final triumph of Christianity as seen by John in the Revelation. Maps should be employed if possible to show the journeys of Paul. The risen Christ and the enduement of the Holy Spirit were the vision and the power which wrote this first Church History, and which have been writing Church History ever since. The home church (Chs. 2-7) began with about 120 praying men and women, Peter's first sermon brought into "the way" 3,000 more. From time to time others were added. Persecution and deliverances, the first martyr, Stephen, and the dissatisfaction which led to the choice of the deacons, are the outstanding events of this period. The home mission period, with Jerusalem as the center and Palestine as the field (Chapters 8-12) covers a period of about ten years. Persecution scattered the disciples throughout the country. Paul was converted on the road to Damascus, Philip goes to Samaria, and Peter carries on the work throughout Lydda, Joppa and Caesarea. In this section we have the story of Philip and the Ethiopian, of Peter curing the palsied man at Lydda, the raising of Dorsac and Paul and Barnabas returning to Jerusalem with help to those at that city who were suffering from famine. Then begins the period of foreign missions, covering about sixteen years, from about A. D. 47 to 62. The principal characters begin of course with Paul and Barnabas, though Paul soon takes his place of leadership, Paul's first missionary journey lasted for about two years, from say A. D. 47 to 49. Barnabas being his principal companion. Returning to Antioch from Jerusalem, Paul soon began his second journey, this time taking with him Silas. Again there is a period of about two years, from A. D. 50 to 52. Paul had his Macedonian vision during this time, and the gospel first entered Europe, beginning with the conversion of the Phillipian jailer. Paul's preaching at Athens and his service at Corinth are perhaps the most outstanding features of this journey. Paul's third journey lasted nearly three years, A. D. 53 to 59 or 57. He re-visits the Asia Minor churches to strengthen them, spends nearly three years at Ephesus, and has some outstanding adventures as, for instance, the riot at Ephesus about the shrines of Diana. Returning to Jerusalem to take part in the feast, he is told of the ultimate persecutions which he must endure. For a long time he has desired to preach the gospel in Rome. Everyone of the trials, hindrances, oppositions and attacks proved to be the means by which he gained that desired end. In this particular quarter, in lesson one, we see Paul's calmness in persecution, his prudence under danger. In lesson two, his delicate courtesy and shrewdness in selzing every opportunity that he might witness for his Lord. In lesson three is manifested his unshaken belief in everything found in the Scriptures, and his wise use thereof in leading men to Christ. In lesson five, his fearlessness amidst danger and his absolute confidence in God. In lesson six, his humility. In lesson seven, his well balanced common sense and his love of peace among his brethren. In lesson eight, we see him longing for human companionship and sympathy, and have an evidence of his love for his own countrymen, and yet his faithfulness declaring the word of God to them as well as to the Gentiles. Last Sunday we stood with Isaiah, looking down through the centuries to the man of Galilee 700 years hence. Today, as we review this quarter and the lessons of the past year, we are looking back nearly two thousand years to the one who wrought out our salvation on Calvary, but we may also turn our faces the other way, and look for him whose returning will bring peace to the earth, and at whose coming the brightness of his glory shall cover the earth even as the waters cover the sea. We have seen the breaking down of "armed peace." * The proprietors of the Handy * Colored Store, 2409 Vine Street, * desire to thank their many friends * and patrons for their loyal and * consistent support during the past * year, and wish you all a happy * and prosperous New Year, and to * ask for your continuous support * during the coming year that we * may make a bigger, better and * larger equipped store.

As a young man he traveled westward to Colorado and California; finally he came to Kansas City in 1881, where he has since resided. He married Mrs. W. O. Taylor, February 25, 1889, and lived happily until his death. He was a member of John Turner No. 106 A. F. & A. M., for a number of years. He was a devoted husband and much liked by all who knew him.

ALLEN CHAPEL. "Peace on earth; good will toward men, Jesus the Savior is born" was never more clearly demonstrated than on Christmas morning at Allen Chapel, which was filled to its capacity by men, women and children who had left their homes so early in the morning to pay homage to Him "whose death hath won our life." We could feel how the shepherds felt upon the plain while the choir with lighted candles in the darkened church were chanting in "wondrous strains": "Unto us a King is given; Christ himself came down from heaven." And indeed it seemed His very presence was in our midst so awe-inspiring was the divine song service which Prof. Jackson had so appropriately arranged. The sermon by the pastor, Rev. William H. Thomas, was eloquent. What a noble way to start a day so sacred. And how our heartfelt sympathy went out to that mother who had prayed all night long that her son might be saved and God answered that prayer by bringing that Son into the fold Christmas morning...On last Sunday morning services by the pastor. At the evening services the choir under Prof. Jackson rendered the cantata entitled "The Coming of the King," which was filled with inspiration. There was one addition. Among the visitors present were Mr. and Mrs. Orlando Gasean of Cheyenne, Wyo., Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Green, Memphis, Tenn, and W. P. Brown...Everybody help in the coming Sunday school campaign ...Emancipation Day service will be held at Ebenezer church New Year's Day at 11 a.m. ...The Ladies' Social Aid will keep "open house" at Allen Chapel New Year's Day from 2 to 6 p.m. Everybody invited. Light refreshments...Watch meeting Sunday night, 9:45. Come and watch the old year out and the New Year in Start the New Year right...A happy New Year to all is the wish of the pastor of Allen Chapel.

From the Sun's viewpoint the allies will commit an irreparable blunder if they fail to meet the Germans half way in their expressed desires for peace. The editor and wife received many Christmas cards, for which they desire to return their sincere thanks and wish each of their friends a happy and prosperous New Year. On annual special rate of $1.00 for the year to be paid in advance begins today and continues throughout January. If you are wise you'll take advantage of this offer which will positively end the 31st of January. The Sun desires to extend its sincere thanks to its thousands of subscribers and advertisers who have so so loyal and generously stood by us through the year drawing to a close, and pledge you one and all that we shall strive to build up a bigger, brighter and better Sun in 1917 than we have ever known in the past. In the Masonic Temple building at Eighteenth and Woodland, there is a vacant storeroom. Why is it that the Negroes of this great city with their wealth and intelligence cannot establish a corporation or trust company where the $40,000 or $50,000 of fraternal organizations now on deposit in the downtown banks may be deposited. A MEAN NEGRO What would you think of a Negro who would have a memorial card published for a dead relative and then refuse to pay for it. We know one. Do you want to know his name? Masonry Among Wild Men While a young man and soon after moving from his native home in Kentucky to his plantation in Mississippi, Jeff Davis bought a cargo of negroes just brought over from Africa by a native slave trader, who ran the blockade and landed them at New Orleans. While they were working in the bottom fields one day Mr. Davis observed his new negroes making Masonic signs to the overseer. That individual, not being a Mason, thought the negroes were only carrying on a system of signals of preparation to revolt and was about to have them whipped. Mr. Davis stopped this proceeding. He tested the negroes thoroughly and to his amazement discovered that they were Third Degree Masons, though brought from the very heart of Africa. Being a Mason himself, you can give them their freedom and choice of either returning to Africa or reprovide for them in some other way. Most of them were shipped to Africa at Davis' expense, though some of them remained with him to the end. MASONIC BUILDING ASSOCIATION W. G. Mosely, President W. G. Mossy, President. T. G.

A NEGRO SOLD STEEL STOCK. And He Is Now in Jail On the Kansas Side. Charles R. Heath, Negro, was arrested yesterday in Atchison, Kas., by postoffice inspectors, following his indictment by a Chicago federal grand jury charging him with misuse of the malls. The indictment charges that Heath represented himself as a director and member of the board of control of the United States Steel Corporation and sold stock in this company to several Negroes at $250 a share. Some of the stock he sold here to Negro friends. Heath is in the Wyandotte County Jail and will be taken to Chicago tomorrow.—Star. THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 30. 1916 SUBSCRIBERS AND "TAKERS." From our long, lean years as an editor and publisher of a Negro newspaper we have learned to differentiate between subscribers and "takers" of publications. A subscriber comes in and buys his paper and pays real, spendable money for it; a "taker" is just what his name implies—he simply "takes" the paper. He tells you in a vain-glorious, sweeping, patronizing way, "Send me that paper of yours" and usually forgets to pay. A "taker" is usually one of your "best citizens" who stands "highest in the Church" and whose voice is always first in prayer from the "amen corner." He is the one who invariably places great emphasis upon that part of the Lord's prayer which says: "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." He occupies the highest place in the synagogues and is the most conspicuous in the market places. He appears always at great advantage at public meetings and never fails to expostulate to those gathered there that they should have "race pride." He wants his every act chronicled in the paper and kicks long and loud when his name is not at the head of the first column on the first page, crowding the date line off the margin. He has most to say about what you should elaborate upon in the paper and is most caustic in his criticism.—Saturday News. GREAT REVIVAL AT BETHEL A Glowing Success—Rev, F. D. Wells, Pastor. The Christmas revival at Bethel A. M. E. church, Twenty-fourth and Flora avenue, has been a glorious success up to this writing. On last Friday night after the evangelist, Moten, had preached from the subject, "Don't Camp Near Sodem," twenty-six young people struck the trail as Billy Sunday would call it, and decided to move their tents from near Sodem to the mountain of Jesus Christ. Xmas day and night the house was crowded and sinners were converted. Several people came into the church. Dr. Moten is growing in popularity. People came from Kansas side and from the north side and all other directions. All denominations are flocking to hear the story as told by Dr. Moten. Sunday, December 21st, there will be services all day. The afternoon sermon will be preached by Dr. Moten. The pastors of the different churches and their congregations are invited to be in the services at 3 o'clock p. m. The campaign will close with old year at 12 o'clock Sunday day. There will be two sermons Sunday night, one at 8 o'clock p. m. and one at 11 o'clock p. m. Splendid singing by the choir and congregation. A general speaking meeting will be conducted during the night. All unconverted souls are invited and whoever will may come. The evangelist will finish the sermon that he began at Allen Chapen, "What a Word Is This?" Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock Y. M. C. A. Notes Y. M. C. A. Notes Open House New Year's Day From 2 to 7 p. m. The St. Augustine Volley Ball team is planning to furnish a part of the entertainment for the open house New Year's Day. They are challenging all comers. The Bethel A. M. E. Basketball team is being coached by Mr. Wilbur Wood, a former basketball star of the University of Nebraska. With the help of Mr. Wood the Bethel boys will develop an unusually fast squad. At the members jollification over the results of the Red-Blue membership campaign on last Wednesday, the captains, lieutenants and workers voted to have another and still larger reunion of all the workers and members on next Friday, January 5. In the meantime the workers will attempt to add at least seventy-five more members to the association. Sunday, December 5, 3:30 p. m., the last Sunday of the year, Song and Praise will be the order of the day at the Men's meeting. "Spiritual Blunders," by Rev. D. A. Holmes of the Metropolitan church on last Sunday opened up to the men, the many mistakes of their religious life during the past year. The religious work committee is expecting a large attendance on next Sunday. Rooms to Rent FOR RENT—Two furnished rooms; modern. 1806 East 12th St. FOR RENT—3 furnished rooms; 2413 Flora avenue.

Bolden, dentist, at East St. Louis, who was injured in an automobile accident on Thanksgiving evening, while riding with Dr. J. T. Breedlove, The Standard Life Insurance Company, at its home office, Atlanta, Georgia, issued to Mrs. Wertie Lee Bolden, widow and beneficiary, a check for $1,500 in full settlement of this claim. The policy referred to was issued to Dr. Bolden on October 28, 1916, and delivered to him early in November, on which he paid one quarterly premium of $17.70, which placed the insurance in full force. It required two months of persistent canvassing by local agents to persuade Dr. Bolden to take this policy. But for this persistency The Standard Life Insurance Company would not have been able to pay to Mrs. Bolden, the widow, a check for $1,500, as a protection and to take the place, in part, of the support which Dr. Bolden gave her during his lifetime. Check in full settlement of the death claim of Dr. Bolden was forwarded from Atlanta to the St. Louis office, 2363 Market street, and paid through the agency director, Chrales H. Fearing. This is an instance of the promptness with which the Standard Life ad justs its claims. Another recent and prompt adjustment of a claim was made at Decater, Alabama. The policy holder insured on October 25, 1916. On November 12, Mr. Jacobs, the insured, contracted pneumonia that proved fatal November 21. Mr. Jacobs, like Dr. Bolden, had paid only one premium. A check for one thousand dollars was paid to Mrs. Emily Jacobs, the beneficiary, mother of Mr. Mr. Jacobs, at Farley, Alabama. These two instances show the advisability of not deferring to take out life insurance, for had these men waited one month longer it would have been too late. The Standard Life Insurance Company is an institution owned and controlled entirely by Negroes. It does strictly an Old Line business. It issues policies in amounts from $250 to $5,000. It has on its books about $5,000,000 in paid for business, and the average weekly production is about $125,000. It is at present operating in nine states and will in January, 1917, enter five additional states, including Illinois. The Standard Life serves its policy holders honestly and promptly. Its policy values are right. It is the policy of the Standard Life to pay its claims immediately upon proof of death. There was but one death claim paid by the Kansas City office during 1916, and that was Fred Lored, who died in the month of August. Final proof of death of Fred Lored was mailed from the office of Stewart & Smith, 1515 East 18th street, agency directors of the Standard Life in Kansas City, on August 9, to the home office in Atlanta, and a check was received in settlement of the claim on August 12. Stewart & Smith take this occasion to thank their many friends and patrons for the liberal support they have given them during the past year and to wish them a Merry Christmas and Happy, Prosperous New Year.

Johnson surprised all by coming back strong in the next round and had a shade the better of this stanza, the only one that he could be awarded. He shot in several hard lefts and a couple of right crosses that rocked Longford, although not causing Sammy to clinch or cover, the Boston man, instead, getting over a number of hard blows himself. It was the best round of the contest. Two other bouts and a battle royal made up the balance of the card. In the semi-final, Lawrence Hawkins was given the decision over Izzy Sanders in ten rounds by Sammy Dixon, who referred the preliminaries. In the opening event Young Costello won from Alligator Kid in eight rounds. CITY FOR CHRIST. Church and Sunday School Campaign —Interdenominational.

AGENTS WANTED 0. Department 100 23 Duane Street, NEW YORK SAM IS JIM'S MASTER ALL THE WAY. By J. M. BATCHMAN. St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 22.—After standing up before a terrific beating for eleven rounds, Battling Johnson of New York succumbed in the twelfth in his bout with Sam Langford of Boston at the Future City Athletic Club last Wednesday. The men are of the heavyweight class, the New Yorker scaling considerably over 200 pounds, while Langford is just under the mark. A fusilade of short punches in the middle of the final round had the effect of dropping the tired Johnson to the floor, from which he was unable to arise until after Referee Harry Sharpe had finished the count of ten. None of these blows had enough "steam" behind them to have dropped the New Yorker in the earlier rounds, but at this stage of the bout he was virtually out standing on his feet, the fact being that he was as much pushed to the floor as knocked down, but on falling his head hit the mat, for the blow was a real knockout. About the best thing that can be said for Johnson is that he took a fearful walloping and was "game," despite the fact that he held on for dear life after the first few rounds. It was no more than natural for him to clinch to the best of his ability under the circumstances. It is true that he managed to get over several solid punches on Langford, but they were few and far between in comparison to the punishment handed out by the Boston "Tar Baby." Johnson scored a number of left jabs that had a sting to them, and occasionally got over a right cross that rocked Sammy, but they in no wise appeared to hurt him and did not in the least stop his aggressiveness. Langford went down in the third round and was given the count of two, but, in my opinion, it was from slipping instead of a punch. Langford boxed just in contrast to Johnson and fought fair all the way and gave the packed house a good run as well as Johnson a very fine trimming. Sam used just about everything in the fight category, even pummeling John's face with the loop-the-loop punch as James was desperately hugging the Boston man in an effort to escape punishment. The most of these blows scored, nearly every one causing the blood to spatter. Although much taller and heavier, Johnson found it even a hard task to clinch effectively, so determined was Langford to win on a knock-out once he saw visions of gaining victory by that route. The rounds were mostly a repetition of each other. Langford doing the work generally. He would shoot out lefts to the face, left hooks to the head and stomach and occasionally bring over a right, and then Johnson would clinch. In the fifth round Langford put the New Yorker to the mat for the count of seven, a solid left hook followed by a right cross being the punches that sent Jimmy to the floor. These punches appeared to have more force behind them than did the blows in the twelfth that floored Johnson, but he had not as yet suffered the punishment that he later Badges, Banners, Books, Robes, Emblems, Buttons, Furniture, Uniforms Lodge and Church Societies The Love Regalia Company 2418 Flora Avenue Kansas City, Missouri Bell Phone.
