Prince Hall Grand Lodge, Royal Arch Chapter and Commandry held their annual session at Chanute, Kansas last week. Everything went off in fine order and in harmony. The Chapter met on Monday and transacted business of much importance to the good of the order. The following officers were elected: On Tuesday the Commandry met with a large attendance. Considerable time was devoted to routine business. Several members leaving to go to Cincinnati to attend the National Conclave. On Wednesday morning the Grand Master, H. L.

Prayer was offered by the Rev. Johnson of Osawatomie and the Grand Chaplain, Bro Fred Estes. A beautiful solo was rendered by Mr. N. H. Campbell who was followed by Mrs. Beulah Gaston Williams who rendered a most inspiring solo. The address by the Mayor, Hon. J. J. Hunt was well received and caused much applause. He drove several points home to his hearers and added much vim to the occasion. Every one expressed the utmost satisfaction at his speech on behalf of the city. We compliment Mayor Hunt on getting away from the usual custom of white municipal officers who address Negro audiences and who invariably use the terms, "You people" and "Your people." It was not so with this mayor and he Hon. T. W. Bell, Masonic Gr to the Grand Lodge at Chas prisoned members of the 24 the Kansas Defense Society. addressed the body as Brother Mason and Follow Americans. He spoke as he would have spoken to any similar audience at any place. In speaking of the race, he gave credit for its loyalty and fidelity to the flag of this country and expressed hopes that they would receive the full benefits and rights thereof, just the same as any other nationality, and had bravely fought and established the same on the battle fields of France. "The Past Master, a young man who was born in Chanute, remarked that he "was pleased to have the pleasure and opportunity to meet such a splenifraternal societies of Chanute," "Brethron," said he, "and I am proud to say that we are all brothers, and should live as such.

I want the American Negro to have and enjoy the same opportunity that all other races have in this country. The constitution guarantees it and it is due them." On behalf of the churches of the city, Rev Gray, pastor of one of the white churches, made welcome remarks. He said in part that "the world had produced no better race of people than the Negro." He also seemed delighted to address the body as brethern. He was enthusiastic and loud in his praise of the body assembled. The Rev. J. D. Hunt, also welcomed the visiting officers and members on behalf of the churches. He paid a splendid tribute to the Masone order. Mr. J. B. Odair on behalf of Blue Eagle Lodge assured the Grand Lodge that the members of Blue Eagle Lodge and the ladies of the Eastern Star would see to it that Grand Orator, who presented minute, the case of the [m- 4th Infantry. Counsel] for their stay would be made pleasant. He eloquently denounced the lynch- ing and burning of the race and sug- grated a National law which will pro- bibit such outrages on the Negro.

I enjoy this lovely climate and the beautiful flowers. The roads in California are the best I ever saw. I went 146 miles over the Tunnel Drive and through the canyons we found the best paved roads and the big car we had swing so easily along around the curves. I have just returned from Westwood, a town 411 miles from San Francisco. This town is in the mountains 5575 ft. above the level of the sea. On the morning of 6th, 5th and 10th of August, the grass was full of jellies where it had been watered on the night before. It begins to get cold about 4 60 p. m. and by 9, 00 at night we had to turn on all the steam we could get. It remained cold until about 11 o'clock in the morning then it got hot and I never saw weather Prof. J. P. King, Chairman, respondent, who was re-elected. of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, A. F. and A.

BROOKLYN East India Hair The Negro State Fair will be held on the above dates at the Ranch of J. Coody Johnson, six miles north of Wewoka. The Fair bids fair to be the greatest effort ever put over by the Colored people of the State. The location is an ideal one for this exhibition being located in the heart of a 2500 acre Ranch, in the best agricultural district in the County, or State. M. The idea of having a Negro State Fair originated with J. Coody Johnson, who is the founder and President of the Fair. The object of the fair is to promote and encourage agriculture and live stock raising among the Negro citizens of our state. Too many people of our race are leaving the farm for the already overcrowded cities, and increasing the high cost of living; and in order to bring our people up to their true worth we are offering premiums for live stock, agricultural and domestic arts Exhibits. The Negro has this assurance that he will have a chance to compete for prizes against members of his own race to be judged by Judges of his own selection. Here is a chance to encourage your boy and girl to do something that will be a credit as well as profit to themselves. Just what you produce and exhibit will be shown at the fair. If you have a fine horse, cow, pig or other domestic animal bring them to the fair. The good housewife will have a chance to compete with other women of her own Nationality, in cooking, needle work, and all other arts in which women are interested. premiums will be given to the boys and girls Clubs for their exhibits. There is no better way to advertise your business than by bringing an exhibit to the fair. LOCATION—The grounds are located on a beautiful elevation where you can see the surrounding country for miles, on J. Coody Johnson's vast Ranch, the finest Ranch and Farms owned by any Negro in Oklahoma. The grounds are electric lighted, at night, and presents a picture long to be remembered. It is easy of access, being on the main highway through Seminole County State Highways from all points east and west, north and south lead to this fair ground. A few gallons of gasoline will bring you in your "car" with the whole family to the greatest fair ever attempted by Negroes, here you can have four days of real pleasure. Amusements of all kinds for all classes of people. A splendid race track is being prepared where horse races, auto races, and cycle races will take place. Some of the best horses owned by our people will be at the fair. Airplanes in which you can ride and see the whole country will make daily ascensions J. COODY JOHNSON, President.
