Dr. Smith is Kansas City’s pioneer druggist and a business man In the fullest sense of the word He Bpplies himzelf to his business Ike business man should which cannot be said of many of the men of his race who are engaged in various Noes of business. Dr. Smith pays more for advertising than all the colored drug stores West of the Mis. sissippi river, and he advertises in the best weekly and daily papers In the country, from which he reaps big returns, When he opens his mall in the morning he is kept con- tinually bur) for several hours fill- ing orders He alzo has n large roda water and ice crenm trace though he does not pay epecial attention to that We saw hix ice cream bijl where he had paid £300 for a short perfod He now has a stock of several thousand dollars whvlexale and retail goods stacked up in every nook and corner.

He wants his rice to succeed but wants them to do it in an honest, business ike manner. All of the fixtures in the Smith drug store are strictly modern in- eluding Folid silver service at the goda fountain and he also has all of the leading colored newspapers for sale, The following are a few of the hundreds of articles carried In bis stock. Vim and Vigor Hair preparations, face creams and bleach. es, collet water and perfumes, shoe and glove cleaners, sundries, scnoo supplies, sporting goods, teas, spices, extracts and sick room necessities, also makes a specialty of filling pre- scriptions, This 1s what Nelson Caesar Crews, editor of the Kansas City Sun says of Dr, Smith: Dr, Smith a Real Leader. “In writing the history of the strug. gies and achievements of the race in this community, a grave Injustice would be done, and euch a history would be incomplete did it not record the struggles, the determination and the ultimate and overwhelming suc- cess of Kansus City’s foremost busi- ness man in the person of Dr, Theo- dore Smith, Kansas City’s ploneer druggist, and a man who has vire tually wruog success from the very jaws of vpporition and adversity.

Mr. Banks has purchased a fine auto for his wife and they take trips to Kaneas City and other surrounding towns very often. The colored people at Bonnet are doing fine, The only thing we have to compl.in of about the town is the place conducted by a “peckerwoud with a sign displayed bearing the words, “We Feed Whites Only,” It 4 posted in an eating house and Is very obnoxious to ajl decent people. We called the proprietor’s attention to it and he became very indignant. The disgraceful thing about it is that he has this sign hanging beside an American flag, He is a pro.German and as bad as the kaiser and should be made to remove the sign or leave the town, We wrote the mayor con. cerning the matter sometime ago and as yet bo has taken no action,. wae At Edwardsville we were the guest of Mr, Groves, the potato king over night and enjoyed our visit. Mr. Groves will put in an hundred acres of wheat which will be something new as he has always grown pota. toes, His brother, Robert Groves who recently lost his wife and was left with thirteen children {x getting ajong well under the conditions. lie has made a wonderful success in gardening this year.

O.E. 8, AT KANSAS CITY Prince Hall Grand Chapter Shows Marked and Com- mendable Strides. We attended the grand session o! the O, E. S.., which was held tr Kansas City last week at the Metro. politan Baptist Temple. Too mucl praise cannot be given Grand Royal Matron Pauline Freeman for she ja certainly a Jewell and Is loved by the entire order, All of the members sing her praises and say they never had a finer Matron in the history of the order, She ruled like a proud queen and when any of the members became discourteous she quickly cal. Jed them down in a soft voice and Christian like manner thet turned them to shame, The greatest trouble she has is with the men as they persist in meddling but she is equal to any occasion, and succeeds in keeping them Js their place. The ladies of the Eastern Star have reached the period In thelr exis. tence where they can manage thelr own affairs and only need the men where the law requires they shall serve, This grand body can con. gratujote themselves upon having as grand patron, Dr, F. D, G, Harvey, of Lawrence, He * a widower and has learned better thun to talk back to women, He fs rendering excel. lent service, | A recepton was tendered on Tuer. day night at which time Mr. Lou Chatman, representing the mayor, welcomed the delegntes to the city.

WRIGHT.” | Governor Capper is to be compli. mented for having been fortunate in securing the services of such a valu- able man as Mr, Harry Wright to manage his senatorial cmpaign. Mr, Wright has no equal as a manipula. tor, campaigner and politician, We have met scores of leading Repubi!- can politicians and manegers, chai. men of county and atate committees, and bad the pleasure of a personal acquintance with the late Mark Hana and Mr. McKinley, former congressman from Illinois and man. ager of the Taft campalgn, but we confess that Mr. Hurry Wright 1s the equal of any of these men. All that has to be done is to give him a chance and tell him what is wanted. We hope the representatives of Kan- sas, Congressmen and senatora will see to it that the National Committee secures Mr, Wright's services in 1920, In so doing they will have no excuse to make for any mistake for everything Mr. Wright dues In up to the minute. The Plaindealer wishes Mr, Wright continual success and that he will be fully rewarded by some honorable porition by the Re- publican party with a salary com. mensurate with bis fine ability, KANSAS CITY, KANSAS AND KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.

Come is on the sick list Mr. and Mrs. Sam Montgomery have moved to Kansas City. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Holmes have rented the Montgomery property on Fourth street. THE operator is human; she makes mistakes, though not. She has womanly feelings and qualities and is affected by sharp words as any one of us. She has wung a tremendous telephone traffic in a way to put many who boast of the activities to blush—and she is still at it, holding down the "man" or "woman," as you please.

No words can make amends for the great loss we have sustained. The Palatium Chain has been broken and one of the Princesses has departed from this world into a world unknown. The expression of condolence wholly falls to restore the loved and lost one. We weep for them, yet our fears are in vain. We must acknowledge the affliction in God's will. Princess Annie Williams was a woman of a quiet disposition and her personality and cheerful humor caused all who came in contact with her to love and respect her. The Palatium has lost a faithful member and a Christian woman who did her whole duty nobly in society as well as in the social circle. Now she passes on into another state of existence to reap the reward of a life well spent on earth. The bereaved husband has the heartfelt sympathy of John G. Burdette Palatium. He it resolved that these resolutions be entered upon our Minute Journal and a copy to the bereaved family and also published in The Toneka Plaindealer, our official journal. J H.

Mr. Robert Moody, son of Mr. and Mrs. Will Moody hanged himself early Tuesday morning. Despondency was the cause of the rash act. Young Moody has been in poor health for more than a year, and for the past few weeks has been confined to his bed. Tuesday morning about 3 o'clock his father heard a noise on the rear porch where the young man usually slept. He rushed to the scene only to find his son as he supposed, standing near the bed. Mr. Moody called to his wife to turn on the light, when this was done, it was discovered that Robert had hanged himself. The family is almost prostrated over the deed. Young Moody is well known in Topeka having at one time operated a clothes cleaning establishment on E. Fourth street. The family has the sympathy of the entire community. Patrolman K. K./Pinkston has received a letter from his son, Sergt. Lewis Pinkston, who is "over there" in which he states that he is well and that he has met many home boys on that side of the earth.

Pinkston says it is a fine country that as soon as they put the kaiser out of business that he will more than likely remain. PIERCE ADDITION.

K. Williams and Miss Thelma, at the family home 914 Buchanan street. Mrs. Garret is a pleasant lady and a woman of excellent judgment. She is industrious, thrifty and enterprising, and her visit to the Plaindeneler office in company with the "Big Chief" and daughters was indeed a source of pleasure to the force. From here, they were piloted by the happy, smiling Editor to his farm east of Oakland where they enjoyed a watermelon feast. This writer has been associated with Mr. Chiles for the past nineteen years and it has been many moons since we have seen him as happy as when he returned from his trip to the farm, and when the shop girls accused him of having received a promise from the fair widow as they strolled among the giant oaks, his smile broadened, and like a bashful, but fumbling boy his only reply was "I don't know what you are talking about.

We regret to learn that Mrs. Nellie Weaver, of Muskogee, Manual Training school, who has also spent the summer session at Pittsburg, Manual Training, specializing in Red Cross work could not stop by on her departure to Muskogee and deliver one of those spicy, patriotic speeches she always has in store. This is an ideal woman and all who listen to one of her lectures will agree with the correspondent, and any organization fortunate enough to get a date from her will be benefited in every respect. Being one of my instructors at the Oklahoma State (Brance) school, I found her an amiable woman, congenial, scholarly and one who is qualified to deliver the goods properly.

TOPEKA INDUSTRIAL AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE Biggest and Best Agricultural and Industrial School West of the Mississippi River For Further Information Write: G. R. BRIDGEFORTH, Principal --- IN MEMORIAM Kansas City, Kansas—In loving memory of our dear husband, and father, Edward Campbell, who died one year ago, Aug. 11, 1917. On how patiently he bore the pain, Which God alone could heal. And when his work on earth was done, His eyes in sleep God sealed. He is gone but not forgotten. Gone to rest upon that shore. Where in peace he awaits our com- ing. How you suffered clear father. None but you can tell. But we know you are now happy. With our Lord, with whom you dwell. Sadly missed by Wife, Daughter and Son. CARTHAGE, MISSOURI. After many months of suffering and pain, in the early morning of July 29, 1918 at 7:30 o'clock, the only child of Mrs. Sophia Flippins passed from this to a higher life. Mary Beatrice Woods was born July 30, 1890 at Fort Scott, Kansas. She lived a short life of 28 years. She was a graduate of W. U. Normal department, Quindaro, Kansas, and of the State Manuel Training school at Pittsburgh, Kans., from which she held a life certificate. The community mourns for this Christian young woman. Here was a life filled with activity. With her all was human, all had faults, all would err. We will miss her for the high example and for the joy and light, for the dark side of life was a total stranger to her. She and her dear Phone West Bell Phone West 190 932 WM. R.

Steam Heated 1—ACADEMIC 2—AGRICULTURAL 3—WOODWORK 4—IRONWORK mother journeyed hand in hand until the end came and severed her relation with that which is earthly and her soul was wafted to its Creator. She only wanted to live to do something good. She often told her dear mother and others she had not accomplished anything. When the storms surged hardest and all seemed a great sea of darkness and despair, she faced it with the same sweet smile that was ever with her through the happiest, sunniest moments, and you as she journeyed through the shadows of the Valley of Death, she feared not for evil. Humanity has lost a faithful friend, this church one of its best members, the choir and Sunday school their leader, a mother a dear, dear daughter, the community a good neighbor. A splendid young woman she was. The world is better, the banner of the Christian religion has been held aloft and humanity benefitted because of her having lived in it. Now she is "Safe in the arms of Jesus; safe from corroding care; safe from the world's temptation, sin cannot harm her there. Free from the blight of sorrow, free from doubt and fear, only a few more trials, only a few more tears." Funeral services were conducted from the Second Baptist church by Rev. Givirand, of West Plains, Mo., assisted by Rev. M. T. Reeves, pastor of the M. E. church, of this city. The funeral hymns were sung by Mrs. J. T. Wallace; "A Perfect Day." "Hold Thou my Hand." The pallbearers were; Mrs. Jennie Mitchell, Mrs. Bessie Williams, Miss Mayme Cole, of Joplin; Mrs. Nettle Jackson, Mrs. Myrtle Webb, Mrs. Jenewia Rhodes. She leaves to mourn, a cousin, Mrs. Gee, of Carthage, an aunt, Mrs. Marshall, of St. Louis; a father, Mr John Wood, of Parsons, Kuna., a half sister, Mrs Bentrice Howard and a host of other relatives and friends.
