DALLAS BOWSER who for a half century have been prominently identified with the social civic and intellectual life of the Col-ored people of Greater Kansas City. HALF CENTURY IN KANSAS CITY | Southwest. By J. Dallas Bowser. Fifty-two years ago, came March 25 next, a cousin and myself, attracted by the glowing accounts of the chances of a fortune by a wealthy farmer who was on a visit back home from the West, we left Ohio for Independence as our destined point, near which place our farmer friend lived. Two miles out of Jefferson City the train struck a landslide, the engine overturned into the Missouri carrying to a watery grave both the fireman and the engineer. Being asleep when Independence was reached we awoke to find ourselves at the Grand Avenue depot at Kansas City, near midnight. Setting out to go up town we discovered that most of the would-be streets climbed some hill and led to nowhere in particular. Feeling lost in a strange city we walked back to Independence that night, arriving at Aunt Emily Fisher's Boarding House about three o'clock A. M. The next day while on a country road in quest of our farmer friend a young white fellow carrying a gun threatened to shoot us because his horse shipd us at a bit while passing us. At once we began to feel that we wore in the enemy's country; so much so that my cousin returned to Ohio in two days after we were back in Kansas City. I chose to stick it out. There was one excuse for a hotel, the Gillis House at the foot of Main street. The Coates House was unfinished and rooftless, having been occupied as a fort during Price's raid and was known as Fort Union. A war time trench circled the slope near the Auditorium Theatre. Main street was the only paved thoroughfare. Delaware street was a winding ravine; at the bottom of it, just north of the Junction, stood an old flour mill. The book store was on Third street. There were less than ten thousand people in the city. But two thousand five hundred houses were built that year so great was the rush of immigrants to the town. This was a time of elemental things...before telephones, electric light, horse cars, footpads, holdups, strikes or dynamiters; the Negro had no vote but he was reasonably happy. Gas was $3.00 a thousand. A cart, a mule and Uncle Billy Lewis were the waterworks that supplied builders and washerwomen at twenty cents and up per barrel according as the water came from a spring or from one of the many ponds. The rickety fire engine was pulled by hand. Shelly Park was a cemetery. The West Bottoms was a forest of giant sycamores, a winding wagon road along the river leading to old Wyandotte. Indians were frequently on the market square. The white-tented wagons of the argonauts of the plains were busy loading their wares for their journey to the great La Belle College of Hair dressing, sires to sincerely thank its many patrons loyal support during the year now because they will be better prepared to give a class service that has made for them during the past year. Wishing all a Happy New Year, we remain, Yours for THE MA La Belle College of Hairdressing, 1607 East 18th Street, desires to sincerely thank its many patrons for their patronage and loyal support during the year now closing and to assure them they will be better prepared to give the same satisfactory, high-class service that has made for them such a splendid reputation during the past year. Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, we remain, Yours for service. A The Kansas City Sun Entered as second-class matter, August City, Mo., under the order of March 3, 1879. MERRY J. J. Mat E SUN WILL ARE THE KANSAS WIT By W A glance report issue of our sch compel one answer in ents of the one can sa seen but n New it n the whites our dual s schools, ha many patr The next year witnessed the organization of a fire company and the completion of the first bridge across the Missouri river, on which occasion there was a balloon ascension and a big barbecue in Dundee place, near Troost and Thirteenth streets, when a large ox was roasted whole, and the boys played ball with the hundreds of loaves of bread that were left over. Buffalo, deer and antelope steaks were plentiful and cheaper than beef is in Kansas City at present. The high school consisted of three teachers, the *principal serving as superintendent of schools, which were held in churches or in the basements of churches. The Negro school had been located near McGee and Eleventh streets by the Freedmen's Bureau, Prof. Copeland, a white minister in charge. When Hon. J. Milton Turner succeeded him, the school was removed to the small wooden church at Tenth and Charlotte where I took charge the following year of 125 pupils, of all grades from A B C to Algebra and of ages from five to forty years or more. Few people could write, so much of my spare time was engaged in writing letters for nearby settlers. The small A. M. E. organization held services across the way in the three-room dwelling of Thomas Logan, Sr. Picnics were held among the big trees behind the Baptist Church. All dances were pay affairs and public, at which the best people were not expected and Church members not at all. There were no card parties or daytime functions of any sort except picnics. Amusements were usually in churches, the program consisting of marching around the room or singing songs that ended in choosing partners to be kissed. Where the men outnumbered the women, they not unfrequently kissed one another. Fire arms and razors, shootings and shashings were frequent unwelcome accompaniments. In retrospect I see again men and women diving under tables or jumping through windows for safety. Often a woman would find her shawl or cloak cut in pieces by a jealous rival. What a transformation has taken place in these fifty old years! People alive now live as it were in a new world. Many changes in the naming of streets have been noted. We knew Twelfth street as Ottawa, Holmes as Hackberry, Charlotte as Gay, Troost as Kane, Forest as Elizabeth and so on. Nearly all the old timers I learned to love and cherish have crossed the dark river, and I, no doubt, soon shall follow on. I am 'only waiting 'till the shadows are a little longer grown." But as President of the Old Settlers' Association I long to see a reunion of the old timers of fifty years or more in some hall or church at which gathering shall be invited the less ancient settlers of the past century, some two hundred and upward of whom are already on the roll of the society.

A glance at, rather a perusal of, the report issued by the Efficiency Bureau of our school system last year will compel one, however reluctantly, to answer in the negative. Yet 25 parents of the Negrochildren of our City, one can safely say, not only have not seen but not even heard of the report. Now it must not be overlooked that the whites had a good start and in our dual system of distinctly separate schools, have all the advantages. How many patrons of Negro schools know MRS. GEO. W. LITTLE wishes her many friends and patrons a merry Christmas and a happy New Year and at the same time thanks all who have so generously supported her during the past year. Mrs. Little will continue to be representative for the Kansas City Granite and Monument Co. and solicits the patronage of all in need of anything in this line.

Lord God, what evil have we done? Still shines the gate, all gold and amethyst But I pass by, the glorious goal unwon, "Merely a Negro"—in a day like this! By William H. Dawley, Jr. that within 15 years no school building has been erected for Negroes and that during that time school architecture has been revolutionized. It is, however fair to state that two abandoned buildings have been partially renovated for them. Therefore, no modern building houses Negro pupils. Then they must be very superior beings to keep pace with those who have the last word in educational advantages. Despite these handicaps the Negro Schools are gaining, the units constructed around Lincoln High School, erected by our own students shed a bright ray of light as does also the product of our schools who have gone to higher institutions of learning and won distinguished honor with their more favored fellow students. But handicaps are not for the majority; they are for the exceptional, for Lincoln, for Douglass and for the sage of Tuskegee. We recognize them only after they are produced. It is the aim of public school education to remove handicaps. The limits of this article does not allow the going into detalf as to the causes of the situation. But may I conclude with this comparison. In our sister City one or the other of the Negro schools, subjected to the same examination as the whites carries off the prize or ranks high. The teachers are from the same schools as ours and are no harder worked. BUT THEY ARE MORE THOROUGHLY SUPERVISED. TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS. On account of New Year's coming on Thursday, we will be compelled to issue our paper one day earlier.

AFRICA. Liberia An Open Gate to the Descendants of Africa, In America, To Carry Modern Civilization to That Continent... By Rucker Smith You might not wish to believe it, but it is true, however. "if you have Negro blood coursing through your veins, you are the lineal descendants of a people who were, for a long period, victims of a brutalizing slave traffic. Every white Nation in Europe indulged in this inhuman traffic until they became conscience stricken, and finally, putting an end to it after much opposition. In 1807, an act of Parliament abolished the British slave trade, and later the other European powers united to put an end to this inquisitive institution in all parts of the civilized world. It has required time for man to become civilized. An act that is considered right at one time becomes a great crime later on. So far as history reveals the past to us, man has done the best he could every age has made him wiser, more humane, and in time the ancient law "might is right," which causes the strong to subdue the weak, disappears. While the American Negro is fighting a loosening game here for social and industrial rights, the civilized world is watching him. Has education and association with another race made us forget our people in Africa—if so then 250 years of slavery of our ancestors, was borne in vain. How Liberia came into existence and the chief purpose of the noble men who encouraged it, was to let the black man civilize his own country. In 1811, President Jefferson received a letter containing the proposition of Ann Miffin (afriend) that "people of color might be colonized on. He replied: "I have ever thought that the most desirable measure which could be adopted." In 1816, philanthropists desirous that Africans should come to their own, founded the American colonization society and requested Congress to secure territory for a colony. An Act was passed authorizing an agency to provide an asylum in Africa for refugees from slave ships. The society acquired a section of land on the grain Coast, named Liberia and the American flag was raised in 1822. The first emigration had taken place in 1815 and consisted of a body of black freemen conducted by Paul Coffee of Massachusetts, a remarkable man, whose father was African and his mother Indian. A Mr. Tubman of Georgia, freed his thirty slaves and put them in charge of the society with a gift of $10,000. Thomas Hunt, a young Virginian sent his inherited slaves to Liberia and paid the cost. Liberia became a Republic in 1847. No one can be a citizen who does not acknowledge Negro blood in his veins. Mrs. L. J. Mason and Miss Ernestine Mason of Sutherland, Neb.. are visiti ing their mother, Mrs. Alice Yancy 1007 Vine Street, for the holidays and will go East from here. --- Our Special Rate for 1920 $1.25 Good Until January 21.

D. where they have a commanding view of ful mansion with its spacious rooms, at library which Prof. Bowser has a half century. This delightful copy association are spending the even- her myriad friends young and old and life which is indeed a benediction as people of their wide circle of friends to THE NEGRO AND THE REPUBLI- CAN PARTY IN 1920. The political sky is clearing, and, brilliantly illuminating the horizon are to be seen a group of Presidential stars, the like of which was never before witnessed in the history of the Republic. Booms and boomlets, of "favorite" sons, have been launched, to be augmented, later on, by an array of "dark horses." Daws, Hitchcock, Upham and last, but not least, our fellow townman, E. Mont Reilly, seasoned political gladiators, are now in the arena proclaiming, in thunder tones, the eminent fitness of their respective candidates for occupancy of the "White House," but no word has reached us as to whom "Phil" Brown, the Little Napoleon of Kentucky, "Col." Roscoe Conklin Simmons, the Demosthenes of American politics, and "Gen." Bob Church of Tennessee, the black Mark Hanna, favor for President. The "political line up" of today, like that of yesterday, has been perfected without giving the brother-in-back serious consideration. The Mark Hanna's, the Matt Quay's, the Tom Carter's, who guided the Republican ship through many a political storm, steering clear of "breakers" are gone. They may not have loved the Negro more than do the men who are now at the "helm," but they possessed a faculty that is not now evident, "of making the Negro feel at home in the councils of the party." Like the great Worlds War, the campaign of 1920 will not be a holiday affair, and the G. O. P. will need every vote that it can get to put the Wilson cohorts to fight next November in what promises to be the greatest battle of the "ballots" ever fought upon American soil. The tremendous immigration, during the past two years, of Negroes from the South, to Northern, Eastern and Western states, will make the vote of that race a most potential factor in the approaching campaign; a fact, too vital, to be neglected. The present political unrest among Negroes must be quieted in some way before the campaign gets under full swing, else the result of the election will be in doubt until the last vote is counted. The Negro pulpit and the Negro press will have to reconstruct themselves; a task for which they are showing but little or no inclination, before anything like a united Negro organization can be effected. Our men and our women must be assured NOW of a square deal, by the party leaders, if their support is to be had next year. Mrs. Henrietta Mercer Wilson and Mrs. Stella May Williams formerly of this city but now residents of Riverside, Calif, wish their many friends in Kansas City a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Health of the Institution Miss Dannie Mae Borders Hospital of the University How I Can Help the Sick in My Community...Miss Vinton Capers Hymn. Addresses by Drs. Tuttle and Cox. Each young woman proved by the intelligent manner in which she handled her subject that she is conversant with the work so far as she pursued it. It is not the aim of the course to make graduate nurses of these pupils but simply to fit them to render intelligent service to the sick. Dr. Tuttle graphically described the dangers derived from contact with housefies and of careless people, infected, and moving from place to place, spreading their peculiar disease. Prepare now to exterminate next summer's fly. Dr. Cox emphasized the care and precaution to be exercised in dealing with that dreaded disease. Tuberculosis, to prevent spreading the germs. The meeting was inspiring and helpful from start to finish and we have every reason to feel that great good will result from a series of such meetings—setting the people to thinking and acting and thus lessening the danger of epidermics and unnecessary suffering.

Wilson. Charity si one of those amiable qualities of the human breast that imparts pleasure to its possessor and those who receive it. Charity like the dew from heaven falls gently on the drooping flower in the stillness of night. It flows from a good heart, refreshes and revives and looks beyond the skies for approval and reward. It never opens but seeks to heal the wounds inflicted by misfortune; it never harrows up, but strives to calm the troubled mind. Charity is the gold chain that reaches from heaven to earth. Like their Lord and Master, the truly benevolent man and woman go about doing good for the sake of goodness. No parade, no trumpet to sound their charities, no press to chronicle their acts. The gratitude of the donee is a rich recompense to the donor. Purity of motive heightens and refines the joys of each. Angels smile on such benevolence. It is the attribute of Deity, the moving cause of every blessing we enjoy. "Fair Charity be thou my guest and be thy constant couch my breast." BLUE TRIANGLE LEAGUE NOTES.

Mrs. W. W. Caldwell, Corresponding Secretary, 2432 Vine street, Kansas City, Mo. Prof. Jos. L. Bowler, Chairman Executive Committee, 2413 Goode avenue St. Louis, Mo. Three immense centuries—three hundred terrible but expressive years pregnant with the striving of a repressed people—have spent themselves. Therefore, it is particularly important that at this point we should pause, reflect, and survey by detailed inquiry the long drear past. For is not an idealized past a refuge and a solace of the spirit? Our group, above all, must not lose a consciousness of those sacred values which are born with tradition. Some notion, more or less clear and explicit, of our contribution to society, crossed and blurred most assuredly by an ignorant depreciation of our people, is needed as an anchorage of our faith. We live, we struggle, and we fight, but men revile us, because they are blinded by the passion of hate. Baseless charges of every description, founded on an imperfect knowledge of us and an inability to perceive our deeper qualities must give place to the unyielding persistence of the type of men and women who make up the Inter-State Literary Association. Our Association convenes at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Wichita, Kansas, December 29, 30, 31. We hope to make this session the grandest and largest meeting of our existence, for this is our Tercentenary celebration. Is this not worthy of your support? Share with us the joys and the responsibilities of this venerable institution. The Executive Committee has planned many innovations. A special essay contest will be held, and a prize of $5.00 is offered for the best paper limit (1000 words) on "Effects of Slavery on the American Colored Man." Manuscripts must be in the hands of the Secretary not later than December 15. Prizes will be offered, as usual, for original music, Declamation, Poetry and Oratory. The presidents of the Race Colleges in the Missouri Valley will be present and address the meeting.

The funeral of the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton was held last Saturday. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved parents. Mrs. Montgomery, our hustling correspondent at the C. M. E. Church, is on the sick list. We hope her illness is not serious and that she will soon be out again. Every one is preparing for the holidays. Any way you may chance to look, you will see women and men rushing along with arms full of bundles, Christmas bells and wreaths of holly. Miss Ella Smith, one of our prominent young ladies and a teacher at the Stowe School, is very ill at her home on North 3rd street. eW wish her a speedy recovery. The Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church will have exercises and a Christmas Tree Wednesday evening, December 24th. The children are being prepared to render a fine program.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Ver. 14. "In the beginning was the Word." (Gr. Logos, Aram, Memra), Used in the Targums, or Hebrew. Paraphrases, for God. The Greek terms means (1) a thought or concepe; (2) the expression or utterance of that thought. As a designation of Christ, Logos, is characterized as the second person of the God-head, as a condemnation of the God-head, as a condiction of supreme happiness and blissfulness. None of the gospel writers touch deeper chords of the eternal mysteries than the Evangelist John. He was doubtless in the divine order, best fitted for conveying to men those deep truths. Hence he was likened to the eagle by the ancient Church writers, as best able of all the Evangelists to look fixedly on the glory of the Sun of Righteousness. His flight indeed is so lofty and prolonged that sometimes men can hardly follow him, even those gifted with Spiritual vision. In this introductory potion of the prologue to his gospel the Evangelist emphasises the God-head of the Redeemer. The theme in all its fullness is far beyond finite, human comprehension. Man can advance only to the threshold of the divine mysteries here revealed. (1) In him are embodied all the treasures of the divine wisdom, the collective "thought" of God. (1 Cor. 1:24; Eph. 3:11; Col. 2:2:3.) ```markdown ``` (2) He is from all eternity, but especially in His incarnation, he is the utterance or expression of the "thought" of God (John 14:9-11; ol. 2:9). "The same was in the beginning with God. "In the beginning" Geneses Denotes the beginning of that movement of the divine creative energy from which sprang the visible universe. The Evangelists words takes us beyond this definite point into the immeasurable eternity. "In the beginning was the Word," the "Word, the Logos, was not then call into being. He existed before all worlds." (John 17:5-24). That is before time, which measures the vast universe. As eternity has no beginning nor end, the Word Logos had no beginning nor end. (Heb. 7:3). The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. He did not assume a mere appearance of man. Nor did he take to himself only a body as some other have said, nor was Word simply united with the perfect man, Jesus, as Nestorius maintained. He became flesh. He did not cease to be the Word. But he made the human body which he assumed—a true body and a reasonable soul, one with himself; so thenceforth he was the God-man, Emmanuel. God with us, or God dwelling with us. **EQUAL WITH THE FATHER.** Christ's claims to be equal with the Father ought to settle, at once and forever, the question of his divinity. For if equal to the Deity, then to him belonged the infinite perfections of all the divine attributes that God possess. Like the Father he must have possessed a wisdom omniscient, a power almighty, a presence universal, a holiness immaculate, a goodness overshadowing all, a justice without respect to person, a truth firmer than the everlasting hills, a mercy reaching even the rebellious and a love embracing all man-kind. All the attributes of the Deity clustered around the pathway of Jesus like so many burnished orbs, encircling the sun in his brilliant career through the heavens; therefore he must have been Divine. The calmness of Christ, in the presence of earth, dignitaries, proclaimed, or proved him to be infinitely above all who were in authority. The exact fulfillment of prophecy concerning him, bors sacred testimony of his just claim to the Messiah. And again the authority by which he forgives sins wrought miracles, showed him to be more than a mere man. The song of the angels at his birth, and the voice of his Father at the Jorden, and on Mount of Transfiguration proclaimed his ammaculate Sonship. "Truly he was the Son of God." And he proved himself to be infinitely above humanity, by his works and words, speaking so far in advance of all of the ages. And his Church stands today upon the solid Rock of Ages, and the "Gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Go to the grave of Lazorous and hear his matchless voice penetrate the region of the dead and awake that slumbering form. If you desire further evidence of Christ's divine nature Go to the Cross. Look at the darkened heavens, and the quaking earth, the rending Rocks, and the raising dead, all bears sacred testimony to his claim of Divinity. And then come on the first day of the week to his sepulchre. Wathh the dazzling of the two angelic messengers like lightning flash descend and roll back the stone from the door to the sepulchre and he arose with healing in his beam, "Truly he was Divine. JUNK!

A soldier brave lay down his arms To go with Jesus at the dawn; He kept the faith and earned the crown His soul is on the heavenward bound. Dear ones will miss tis gentle voice, Yet God has called this valiant choice; Cheer up and look, the brighter side, Trust God, be true—faithful and tried. His work is finished in this life, Oh God protect this lonely wile, His duty to his God and man Was built upon salvations’ plan. Husband and son, aye father, too, His home like love has proven him true, He sought the high ideals of life, Christianlike, above all strife, He sits around the throne above, Awaiting for the ones he loved; Oh keep the faith you'll see his face Some day before thethrone of grace, His absence leaves a vacancy Beheld with consistency; As some clouds roll swiftly by We'll meet again, God help me try.

While Rey, and Mrs, B. G. Dawson were having a delightful chat over past events, a rap was heard at the front door and in came two of the fairer sex bearing each a package and seated themselves as if they were there for the balance of tho night, Not for a moment did the inmates think that such a stunt was about to be pulled off, Alter a pleasant hour spent with these visitors, the sound of a multt- tude who were making their entrance through the door could be heard and seen which unnerved Mrs. Dawson to such otxent that she started through the back door, but she soon regained consciousness and began smiling as the sweet strain of music thrilled the air as it had been a band of the heay- enly visitants, One by one they en- tered bearing packages of the main necessities of life and laying them up- on the dining table: such as cans of corn, peas, tomatoes, peaches, apples, cherries, plumbs, sugar rice, spaghetti eggs, cabbage, coffee, potatoes, jelly, salmon, socks, stockings.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Representative Griest of Pennsylvania, a Republican, has introduced in the House a bill to reduce the postage on all local mail to one cent per ounce, instead of the two cents now required. All other mail would under the bill, continue under the same latter rate. In order to conserve the supply of newspaper paper which is getting very low, Senator Capper, of Kansas, das offered in the Senate a bill providing that until July 1, 1920, no newspaper or periodical shall be carried in the United States mails at the rates provided for second class postage which shall exceed in size limitations set forth as follows: thirty-six pages for any Sunday edition, seventy-five pages for any weekly or oy-weekly paper, or any monthly with more than 100 pages. The Postmaster General is authorized under the bill to refuse the second class privilege to any paper or periodical exceeding those limits. A WORD TO DISABLED SOLDIERS Every man who was in the military or naval service of the United States during the late war, and who on account of such service is not physically fitted to engage at once in a painful occupation should at once notify the Bureau of War Rish Insurance in Washington, D. C. Under the law this Bureau is charged with providing for service men discharged because of disability incurred in active service in the line of duty, compensation and free medical treatment until such time as they are restored to physical fitness. During the summer of 1918 there was a general combing out of the military training camps of the country in an effort to bring the standard of physical fitness and many men discharged at that time may be unaware of their rights under an act of Congress to compensation for disability and medical attention and hospital treatment where necessary. All cases of this or a like nature should be brought immediately to the attention of the Bureau of War fish Insurance. "HELP WANTED WHITE." Joe E. Herriford The Sun recently expressed uneasiness over the fact that so many help-wanted ads for domestic service openly discriminated against Negro applicants and appeared at a loss to understand why this condition obtains. Now we have all read these same ads and we have all thought about it with the same uneasiness; and the more we think about it the more we are inclined to see that the question is one which has two sides to it. In as much as most white people of the employing class are inclined to regard the Negroes as a born servant class it follows that this class should be mostly in demand for domestic service particularly. In fact it may be said safely, that ninety per cent of the white employing class naturally prefer Colored servants, all things being equal, and that these servants in most cases would be well paid, fairly well treated and permanently employed if they could be secured. There are in Kansas City many highly respectable Negro women who are employed in domestic service and who have held their positions during many years with supreme satisfaction. These are trusted implicitly, well cared for and in some cases actually beloved. But this class of servants is not large enough and that's where the trouble comes in. It is regrettable but it is true that there is a rapidly increasing class of young women of our race who are un fitted either by training or temperament to fit into the sphere which ought to appeal to them. It certainly is no disgrace to work. It is honorable, most honorable in a woman who has no one to support her in honest life. But this latter class of our women do not think so. True, many of them will accept a servant place long enough to recuperate a stock of clothing or to meet some other material ambition. But this ambition, being realized they quit their jobs unceremoniously after a short and unsatisfactory period of careless and desultory service characterized by tardiness, uncertainty and lack of devotedness. Any Negro woman of good character who actually wants to work can secure in Kansas City a permanent position with good wage, room and board, and the kindest treatment from her employers. Another fallacy which possesses a great many young Negro women who claim to be discriminated against is the growing disposition not to work for their own people. There are many good positions of this sort in Kansas City, just as good as places with white families, perhaps better, and which go unfilled because of this vanity. Negro families are unable to secure even school girls to live with them and wholly or partly earn their keep. In fact the educated or the half-educated girls appear to be the least dependable in this respect. In our own family we have tried several high school girls who, notwithstanding fairly good wages and fare, usually quit without notice as soon as they have worn out all the records on the victoria and the rolls on the player-piano.

Rice of 1015 Tracy avenue who has the distinction of being Kansas City's most noted Negro artist, has been joined by his brother, Cornellus Rice of Denver and their Studio is a veritable bee hive of industry.

You will find these dolls on display at most every prominent Negro business place in the city: People's Drug Co., 18th and Paseo. White-Wood Drug Co., 19th and Vine. Dr. Theo. Smith's Drug Store, 18th and Tracy. Mrs. Hubbard's Millinery Store, 1607A East 18th street. Smith and Thompkins Pharmacy, 3rd and Troupe, Kansas City, Kansas. And by calling Bell phone Main 2016 you will be able to get in touch with Mrs. Rice, who will take your order and deliver promptly at your door. These dolls can be purchased at any of the above places at a very reasonable price. The Rice Brothers are in hope that every race loving Negro in Kansas City will co-operate with them by having one or more of these beautiful dolls in their home and making their business a wonderful success. Kansas City should indeed be proud of this commercial art being done by these young men and let it be proven by giving them your hearty support. Miss Melissa E.

When he was quite young, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Stokes, removed with the family to Fredonia, Kansas, where he was reared and educated; Jat an early age, he united with the Gethsemene Baptist Church in Ra- leigh, N. C., and later removed his membership to the Second- Baptist Church of this city and has always lived a consistent Christian life and was a faithful member of the church at the time of his death. He was united in marriage to Mrs. Elizabeth: Harvelle in this city. He was severely stricken nine days be- fore his death and in spite of the most attentive medical authorities and tender care of loved ones, he passed away. Mr. Stokes was a kind and consid- exate husband and a devoted father and had many friends among white as well as Colored people. Besides his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Stokes, he is ‘survived by a son and daughter, his mother, Mrs. E. L. Stokes, of Fre- donia, Kansas, two sisters, Mrs. Beth- el Claybourn, Lawrence, Kansas, Mrs. E.
