The Topeka Plaindealer White Real Estate Sharks of Tulsa Attempt to Steal Colored People's Property The Supreme Encampment Is Under Full Sail For Aug. 14--20 More Rooms are needed for the Supreme Encampment. Call 3983 or 3300 and tell us how many you can house. Washington. D. C. Dear President Harding: Dear President Huntington, Accept thanks for the expression used by you concerning the Tulsa Riot in your speech at Oxford. Also the hasty action taken by the Department of Justice towards an investigation. We wish to make a few requests of you. First, there are many homeless Colored people of Tulsa and for the comfort of the mothers and babies without shelter, we would be glad if you would instruct the War department to extend to these the use of tents and such other necessary equipment as go to make them temporarily comfortable until they are better able to support themselves. If this can be done by the War department, we would be glad if you would use your office in having the Red Cross or some other department to assist. They have organized a Colored Citizen's Relief Committee, at the corner of Franklin and Eastern streets, of which S. G. Hooker, is chairman. He was a reputable business man and was operating a large dry goods store, which was completely wiped out. He is honest, upright and reliable and the committee associated with him is made up of high-class gentlemen. We would be glad, also, if you would have Congress to appropiate a sufficient sum to assist them in rebuilding their homes. Mr. President. I wish you could understand that this was a life time savings of most of these people in this district. They had large buildings of stone, brick and concrete, hotels, grocery stores, dry goods stores, drug stores, printing establishments, and other firms which have been swept away by the rioters. Some of these people were ex-slaves; some are the descendants of ex-slaves, whose parents worked for over two centuries in building up the wealth of the white man of the South. And we think nothing would be more fitting than a large contribution should be made to these unfortunate people whose property was swept out of existence by no fault of their own, but who were defending themselves against thieves and vandals. We wish to call your attention further to the fact that members of the National Guard who participated in the riot before the militia was ordered out, along with other undesirable citizens, plundered and robbed Colored men and women of money which they had in their personal possession, as well as in their homes. This is all thru and can be verified. I wish to now call your attention to one of the most deplorable conditions and one of the most heinous offenses ever committed in a civilized country, that is, the Armory was broken open by some of the members of the local militia who took out four machine guns, placed them in four distinct sections of the city and there halled bullets upon the Colored people for a considerable time. Also 13 aeroplanes, mostly of the Curtis type, maneuvered over the Colored district, dropping bombs and other deadly missiles, which assisted in destroying property, as well as lives. I am informed that the Governor could not use this local militia, nor its officers in quelling the riot, as the men were participating with the mob, therefore the call for them was useless. We hope an investigation will be ordered looking towards the approbation of the guilty partios who used the government's arms to destroy human life, as we understand the equipment of the National Guards is the property of the United States Government. Much praise is due the Governor of Oklahoma for the immediate action taken in the matter. I presume you are in full possession of the information that there was no crime committed against any one, just a mere trifle where a Colored boy stepped on the foot of a white girl, who slapped him in the face, and he held her arm to defend himself. When a warrant was issued for assault and battery, and after he was placed under arrest, news spread that he had criminally assaulted some white women. The white ruffians began to assemble and threatened to lynch him, this is why the Colored people came and offered their services to the Sheriff, to help prevent such an outrage. It has been a well established fact that wherever the Colored man is charged with a crime, a mob is soon formed and officers do not attempt to give protection. So since the East St Louis riot Colored people of all sections of the country, The Mite Missionary Society gave a plate supper at the resident of Mrs J. Newton, on N. Evergreen, Monday evening. Rev.

E. church gave a Stocking supper at the K. of P. hall last week, which was largely attended. The Chanute Colored Band played in the Memorial Day parade and in the evening played its first concerts of the season to a large and enthusiastic audience, with Mr. Herman Thompkins directing have decided to defend themselves at all hazards until the officers of the law have learned to respect their oath of office by giving protection not only to all citizens, put their homes and property. Mr. President, I wish to call your attention and ask you if possible that you instruct the Secretary of the Treasury to assist those banks that will give aid and comfort to the Colored people of this stricken district in the building and rehabilitation in this city. We are proud that Congress has responded to the call of the flooded and stricken district of Pueblo, and we hope they will look upon this matter at Tulsa in the same light. Thanking you for the high manifestation of Christian acts and expressions you are continually using to the American people whenever the occasion requires it, and assuring you that the people of this great Commonwealth believe you to be a man of God and you are sent to fill a mission.

EDITOR CHILES SOJOURNS IN MINING DIS- TRICTOFSTATE We have just returned from a trip at Ottawa, Iola, Chanute, Cherryvale, Independence, Coffeyville, Parsons, Oswego, Chetopa, Joplin, Mo., Galena, Baxter Springs, Columbus, Weir, Cherokee, Pittsburg, Croweberg, Girard and Ft. Scott. OTTAWA At Ottawa, our first stop, we we the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Simpson Mr. Simpson is traveling insurance agent for the Frank Thomas Insurance Company. The Colored people are proud of Mr. J. S. Wilkins, who owns the best blacksmith shop in the state. He has a larg busineses. He has just recently completed a building for his blacksmith shop, which is a credit to that city. He owns almost a block on North Main Street, also a two-story building, almost in the heart of the city where all of the Colored lodges meet. During war times when rent was soaring high and the white people did not want to rent to Colored lodges, Mr. Wilkinson erected a building for their convenience. He has lived in Ottawa for 46 years. He was first located on a farm nine miles out, was born in Howard county, Missouri. He owns a beautiful home, has a fine family and is a stockholder of the Kansas State Bank of that town. At one time he was a director. He is not only one of Ottawa's most substantial citizens, but Kansas as well. We found the members of the Baptist church and citizens as well feel sad over the departure of Rev. S. A. Williams of the Bethany Baptist church. He resigned and accepted the St. John Baptist church at Salina. The members did not want to accept his resign but he thought that Salma being a larger field and needed soner work, he decided he would accept the call. Resolutions were passed by the church officers and deacon board showing the high esteem and respect they held him and how sorry they wore to accept his resignation, that he had done great work in that city, had improved the church, paying it out of debt and leaving everything in good order. The Reverend is a graduate of Roger Williams University of Nashville, Tenn., and also took a correspondence course at Chicago School Theology. He has built the membership from almost nothing to 150. He is receiving a salary of $150.00 per month. The church has a surplus of $500.00 or $600.00 in the bank. He is contemplating building a new church at Salma, between fifty and seventy-five thousand dollars. He is president of the Ministers and Deacons' Union of Noosha Valley Convention. This church at Salma is the largest of any church in the Smoky Hill District. Is wife is an educator and teaches at Pittsburg, Kan., he former home and is one of the finest teachers in that school. Rev. Williams is a Race man, full of pride as well as business. He has many friends who regret to see him leave Ottawa. He says he must move on and build larger church and help improve the people. IOLA We found the Colored people here doing nicely and preparing to entertain the Grand Scansion of Knights and Daughters of Tabor, which will convene in that city July 12-15. The Sir Knights and Daughters have formed committees and making great preparations. They have employed the Pittsburgh Band and will use the A, O, U, W, hall and high school on the reception and drill nights. Chief Preceptress Daughter Williamson and her committee will leave no stone unturned to make this one of the best sessions in the history of the order. While there we visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Love, formerly of Lawrence, Mrs. Love had just been brought home from the hospital where she had undergone PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR a very painful operation. We hope she is much better at this writing. Mr. and Mrs. Fields are remodeling their home. Mr. H. W. North, one of the prosperous farmers of that town, was recently married to Mrs. Arnetta Jones, of Omaha. They are certainly happy and enjoying life. Mrs. North was one of Omaha's splendid church workers. She is a polished Christian leader and Mr. North says he was never so happy in his life. Here we met Mrs. Gertrude Clark, of Lawrence, Kan., the Grand Matron of the Order of Eastern Star, who was making her annual visits over the state. She will also visit Colorado and Nebraska. They gave a fine entertainment for her. CHANUTE Our next stop was at Chanute. Here we met Rev. Nicholas and wife. Rev. Nicholas has charge of the A. M. E. church and is doing fine. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Tally bought a nice sixroom house at 610 Main street, right in the business part of the town, near the Katy depot, where they have furnished rooms for the public. Mr. C. E. Fields is connected with the Ashgrove Cement Works. This institution employs quite a number of Colored men. It was through Mr. Fields that so many of our people are employed. He is the man whom they have to see in order to obtain a position. He is a young man, full of push and energy. He is also connected with the Western Production Company, which now conducts a first class dairy. He has thirty Guernsey registered cows. They are now putting out many gallons of cream each day. He has been foreman at the cement works for the past thirteen years. He owns a beautiful piece of property at 822 N. Washington Street, has a wife and three children. He also owns some other valuable property and is making hay while the sun shines. Mrs. Dollie Tivis and husband are doing fine. They have two milk cows and are selling milk. They have a nice home. She and her husband are fine cooks and are now engaged in making ples and takes. They are also fine caterers and follow that kind of work. CHERRYVALE At Cherryvale we found the Colored people doing fine, mostly employed at the brick yard where thousands of brick are turned out each year. C.W. Landis and wife constitute the business end of the Colored people and have a nice restaurant-confectionery and grocery store, doing fine. Mr. Landis is highly respected in his home town. Our friend, A. M. (Bud) Robinson, is in the postoffice, looking after Uncle Sam's business. We also met Mr. A. F. Green, who is in the mail service and who owns property and doing fine. It is said he is one of the best railway mail clerks in the service. INDEPENDENCE At Independence, Kan., we found everybody busy. Both races seem to be getting along with peace and harmony as though no riot ever occurred. Mr. Charles Richardson owns a large rooming house and other property. He has organized a company, of which Rev. Teale is the secretary, known as Southside Realty Company. They have out of town lots now for sale at very reasonable figures. They have some other valuable property. Mr. Richardson owns some nice property and also a wash rack and other connections. Mr. W. M. Jacobs is a tailor and doing fine. Rev.

He is now enagged in evangelical work for the M. E. church, with headquarters at Independence. We visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Davis, one and a half miles southwest of the city. Here we found a beautiful two-story house, nicely furnished, presided over by that queenly lady, Mrs. Davis. They have a fine tract of land, where they are gardening, raising chickens and hogs. We never saw a finer lot of hogs anywhere as on this farm, as well as the truck garden. He is also employed by an oil and gas firm, which keep him on the go. Mrs. S. S.

All the girls are off for the summer school. Rev. Simms is holding a town revival at the First Baptist church. EDITOR CHILES SOJOURNS IN MINING DIS- TRICT OF STATE We have just returned from a trip at Ottawa, Iola, Chanute, Cherryvale, Independence, Coffeyville, Parsons, Oswego, Chetopa, Joplin, Mo., Galena, Baxter Springs, Columbus, Weir, Cherokee, Pittaburg, Croweberg, Girard and Ft. Scott. OTTAWA At Ottawa, our first stop, we w the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Simpson. Mr. Simpson is traveling insurance agent for the Frank Thomas Insurance Company. The Colored people are proud of Mr. J. S. Wilkins, who owns the best blacksmith shop in the state. He has a larg business. He has just recently completed a building for his blacksmith shop, which is a credit to that city. He owns almost a block on North Main Street, also a two-story building, almost in the heart of the city where all of the Colored lodges meet. During war times when rent was soaring high and the white people did not want to rent to Colored lodges, Mr. Wilkinson erected a building for their convenience. He has lived in Ottawa for 46 years. He was first located on a farm nine miles out, was born in Howard county, Missouri. He owns a beautiful home, has a fine family and is a stockholder of the Kansas State Bank of that town. At one time he was a director. He is not only one of Ottawa's most substantial citizens, but Kansas as well. We found the members of the Baptist church and citizens as well feel sad over the departure of Rev. S. A. Williams of the Bethany Baptist church. He resigned and accepted the St. John Baptist church at Salina. The members did not want to accept his resignation, but he thought that Salina being a larger field and needed some work, he decided he would accept the call. Resolutions were passed by the church officers and deacon board showing the high esteem and respect they held him and how sorry they were to accept his resignation, that he had done great work in that city, had improved the church, paying it out of debt and leaving everything in good order. The Reverend is a graduate of Roger Williams University of Nashville, and also took a correspondence course at Chicago School Theology. He has built the membership from almost nothing to 150. He is receiving a salary of $150.00 per month. The church has a surplus of $500.00 or $600.00 in the bank. He is contemplating building a new church at Salina, between fifty and seventy-five thousand dollars. He is president of the Ministers and Deacons' Union of Noosha Valley Convention. This church at Salina is the largest of any church in the Smoky Hill District. Is wife is an educator and teaches at Pittsburg, Kan., he former home and is one of the finest teachers in that school. Rev. Williams is a Race man, full of pride as well as business. He has many friends who regret to see him leave Ottawa. He says he must move on and build larger church and help improve the people. IOLA We found the Colored people here doing nicely and preparing to entertain the Grand Session of Knights and Daughters of Tabor, which will convene in that city July 12-15. The Sir Knights and Daughters have formed committees and making great preparations. They have employed the Pittsburg Band and will use the A. O. U. W. hall and high school on the reception and drill nights. Chief Preceptress Daughter Williamson and her committee will leave no stone unturned to make this one of the best sessions in the history of the order. While there we visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Love, formerly of Lawrence. Mrs. Love had just been brought home from the hospital where she had undergone PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR a very painful operation. We hope she is much better at this writing. Mr. and Mrs. Fields are remodeling their home. Mr. H. W. North, one of the prosperous farmers of that town, was recently married to Mrs. Arnetta Jones, of Omaha. They are certainly happy and enjoying life. Mrs. North was one of Omaha's splendid church workers. She is a polished Christian leader and Mr. North says he was never so happy in his life. Here we met Mrs. Gertrude Clark, of Lawrence, Kan., the Grand Matron of the Order of Eastern Star, who was making her annual visits over the state. She will also visit Colorado and Nebraska. They gave a fine entertainment for her. CHANUTE Our next stop was at Chanute. Here we met Rev. Nicholas and wife. Rev. Nicholas has charge of the A. M. E. church and is doing fine. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Tally bought a nice sixroom house at 610 Main street, right in the business part of the town, near the Katy depot, where they have furnished rooms for the public. Mr. C. E. Fields is connected with the Ashgrove Cement Works. This institution employs quite a number of Colored men. It was through Mr. Fields that so many of our people are employed. He is the man whom they have to see in order to obtain a position. He is a young man, full of push and energy. He is also connected with the Western Production Company, which now conducts a first class dairy. He has thirty Guernsey registered cows. They are now putting out many gallons of cream each day. He has been foreman at the cement works for the past thirteen years. He owns a beautiful piece of property at 822 N. Washington Street, has a wife and three children. He also owns some other valuable property and is making hay while the sun shines. Mrs. Dollie Tivis and husband are doing fine. They have two milk cows and are selling milk. They have a nice home. She and her husband are fine cooks and are now engaged in making ples and cakes. They are also fine caterers and follow that kind of work. CHERRYVALE At Cherryvale we found the Colored people doing fine, mostly employed at the brick yard where thousands of brick are turned out each year. C. W. Landis and wife constitute the business end of the Colored people and have a nice restaurant-confectionery and grocery store, doing fine. Mr. Landis is highly respected in his home town. Our friend, A. M. (Bud) Robinson, is in the postoffice, looking after Uncle Sam's business. We also met Mr. A. F. Green, who is in the mail service and who owns property and doing fine. It is said he is one of the best railway mail clerks in the service. INDEPENDENCE At Independence, Kan., we found everybody busy. Both races seem to be getting along with peace and harmony as though no riot ever occurred. Mr. Charles Richardson owns a large rooming house and other property. He has organized a company, of which Rev. Teale is the secretary, known as Southside Realty Company. They have out of town lots now for sale at very reasonable figures. They have some other valuable property. Mr. Richardson owns some nice property and also a wash rack and other connections. Mr. W. M. Jacobs is a tailor and doing fine. Rev. James Stratford owns a two-story building and doing fine. He is also a barber. We met Dt. G. H. Davis and family. Rev. Williams and wife have moved to 711 West Maple street. He is now enagged in evangelical work for the M. E. church, with headquarters at Independence. We visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Davis, one and a half miles southwest of the city. Here we found a beautiful two-story house, nicely furnished, presided over by that queenly lady, Mrs. Davis. They have a fine tract of land, where they are gardening, raising chickens and hogs. We never saw a finer lot of hogs anywhere as on this farm, as well as the truck garden. He is also employed by an oil and gas firm, which keep him on the go. Mrs. S. S. Teale is still conducting her grocery (Continued on Page Two) PARSUNS, KANSAS The delegates returned home from Topeka where they attended the State Federation of Women's Clubs.

The citrine of Claremore held a mass meeting Monday night at the Lincoln school plans were arranged to be putto before the board for a new brick school building guith eight rooms and an auditorium.

After considering the Church and community, what relations ought the Church bear with the community, and what the Church ought to stand for in the community, the question will naturally arise, relative as to the inability of the Church to accomplish a strong certain line. I have always held that there are certain ministers in our group who are well equipped mentally, are Christians of the highest type, and men of good moral character as well. While it is not my intentions to foister upon the Church any unjust criticism, I do know from personal experience and observation, of thirty five years of Church life, that we had among us a large majority of men who are in charge of Churches, who ought to be doing something else. Some are men who are well read in books, and others has had the various degrees conferred upon them by different theological Seminaries, but there they stop. Some has had so many degrees conferred upon them that they do not stop to heed the call. Everywhere there are the demand for men and women who will give themselves with determination and unselflessness to the task of religious training To be filled for leadership there must be capacity, character, knowledge, quickness to see and courage to do. For leadership, training is essential. Large opportunities exist today for the training of those who will load in Bible Study, Sunday School service in addition to almost unlimited calls for Christian effort in our land is the voice from beyond the sea where there will be required men and women in large numbers, as pastors, evangelists, teachers, physicians, nurses, workers of every type and qualification. With such an urgent demand upon us for the preparations for the saving of Human Souls, it appears that we are not deeply concerned as we should be, in the matter of religious training. A number of Churches have their they are struggling to support; some the State in which they are located, and are doing fairly well. Unfortunately, two much politics are being played in our Churches, and Schools, Bishops and Presidents of congresses instead of working to raise the moral and religious standards of Churches, and Educational institutions, are lending their energy to the furthering of the interest of men and women who will do their bidding Consequently, men of obsolete theories, and worn out ideas are placed at the head of Schools in preference of young men who are keeping step with the new order of things. hit them mercy forgeen CKQ1 70 The continued Suburgation of young men and women. In the Churches and Schools, are working a great advantage to our group because they are not qualifying for the ministry and trained Christian workers as fast as they should, if they were given the proper encouragement. Our best ministers are becoming aged and we are not turning out very many young men to take their places. A great many of our group are too averse to religious training. In fact many of our leaders discourage any idea of training, contending that if God calls one to a certain work, he will qualify them Christ trained his disciples before he sent them upon their mission, and every person that is successful in their Christian lives must be trained; likewise, if we do not know which way to go, how shall we lead others. The call for Inborners in the Christian work is universal, and for all who will accept; with the call goes the bestowment upon the individual of an instinctive power, that will gild the mind into channels whereby preparations and qualification for Christian leadership may be effected. God calls a man or woman here and there out from among thousands to do a certain work, and he will endow them with talent to carry on that work, but he has not promised to so endow everyone. Which we see the importance every day of a religious training, it is hardly possible to discuss advanced ideas of Christianity, without being attacked by persons whom we consider to be of a higher intellectual There are a great many leaders who have got their heads "under a barrel," and they are working in a way also to "Keep the wool" over the eyes of their followers, but many are catching the spirit of the new day, and rising above the waves of the illusions of the past. We should not depend solely upon the Schools for Christian development every Church and every community should have a training class, but as I have said before, the shaping of the child must begin in the home. The purifying power of Christianity in the home is the greatest reason for being a Christian. It is a well established fact that no City, no State or Nation, can be purer than its homes, and no home can be absolutely pure and uplifting in its influence without Havig Christ as its center. The child may be held by love and respect for its parents for a brief reason but unless the parents instill into the minds and hearts and the very fibre of the child respect and love for God as manifested in Jeasus Christ, the child is in danger of slipping from truth and purity, and away into the World Wilson's Summer GARDEN OPEN FOR ENGAGEMENTS UNTIL OCTOBER 1st.

Mr. Felix Roberts, of 1511 Clark street, of her customers she would not be owns several house, is a progressive able to furnish ice this year. When citizen and doing well. Our friend, she started out she only put two hundred pounds around the first day, but ber of the town and friend of the Plaindealer, is a fine gentleman. He now she is putting out several thousands each week. They wanted to and his wife are enjoying life and making it pleasant for their friends. make a white man administrator of her husband's estate. One bonding Mrs. Sheppard and Mrs. Clayton company refused bond and suggested that she got some white man. She just want to another bonding company OSWEGO Here we found our friend, P. H. Smiley, who is conducting one of the finest market gardens in the country. Must say he had the finest cabbage we have seen anywhere. He is one of Kansas progressive citizens. He and his wife are highly respected and doing much for the upbuilding of the race. We met our old friend, R. Montgomery, the clothing man who has many friends, we wish to see him postmaster again. He is a staunch Republican and should be kept working where he can overlook matters. Miss Olivia Porter owns a nice home where she and her mother live. She is one of the best teachers in that portion of the state. She is proud of her new building, which has been erected and which will occupy next term. They have a fine auditorium and the building was dedicated at the end of the schol term. They have selected as a new assistant teacher, Miss Cordelia Martin. There are already four teachers. Prof. B. C. Easter is the principal. CHETOPA At Chetopa we went out and visited the 160-acre farm of the widow of Harrison McMillan. Mr. McMillian bought this land in 1881. M.s. McMillan's brother ard niece live with her. She has cows, hogs, horses and is doing fine. She is a splendid Christian woman. Her huband died in 1918, leaving a god farm which she cherishes. We met Mr. B. Hudson, the grocer, who is doing a good business. He started his grocery store with only $10.00 and now he has a stock of over $500.00, a building and vacant lots and other residences. Mr. E. H. Bassett, Grand Secretary of the Burial Department of the Odd Felolws, conducts a fine restaurant and confectionery and soft drink stand. He is one of the leading citizens of the town, highly respected by all. Mr. W. J. Morgan also conducts a restaurant, cafe and fruit stand. He is a great lodge man and church worker. Mr. J. H. Hudson, one of the Grand Officers of Prince aHll Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M., also who holds a position in the cloak room of the legislature, is the official painter of the town and all the fine residences of that section of the country are not respected unless painted by him. JOPLIN Here the Colored and White people are dragging along for the want of business, but there are some who are moving along nicely. Mr. Charles Hageman, who has one of the best shining parlors in Missouri, is doing fine. His wife is a dressmaker and they are both succeeding and have a nice bank account. Mr. Hageman is very popular among the business men and they come for blocks to visit his shining parlor. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Caldwel, are among the leading citizens of Joplin. He is connected with the Miners' Bank. Mr. Ben Davis, the man who owns the hogs in and around Joplin and hauls all of the swill, says he has one sow he refused $300.00 for. He has some full blooded stock. He is a hustler and money maker and knows what to do with hogs. Mr. J. E. Aldridge is one of the leading citizens of Joplin. Mr. Arthur Young, our old friend, formerly of Topeka, is custodian of the Miners' Bank building and is highly respected by both races, standing in with the monied people of that town. He is an all around mechanic and can demand a good salary at any time and anywhere. He is one of the members of the band organized there and has a wife and three children, Mr. and Mrs. John Maddux and two daughters, of Chanute, visited Mr. and Mrs. Young a few Sundays ago and they enjoyed having them with so much. We were the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Cuther. They own valuable property on Kentucky street. They are just wild over their new baby, Mary Charlene, who is now eight months old. She is as cute and as active as any baby two years old. At this time she has not been allowed to eat any food and she seems to be the very picture of health. Mrs. Cuther entertained several delegates and members of the Heroines of Jericho. We met Mrs. M. J. Jones, the wife of the late Rev. A. J. Jones. We were certainly proud of what she is doing. Mr. Jones was pastor of the Unity Baptist church for over nine years and also conducted a coal, wood and ice yard at 719 E. 7th street. Mrs. Jones has taken hold of the business and conducting it in a successful, business-like manner. His business has only been established since 1916 and she assisted her husband, which was fortunate and permitted her to be able to take hold where he left off. The ice trust was formed this year and attempted to freeze her out by attempting to buy up the output of the different ice firms of the town, but through her ambition and courage, as well as nerve, she succeeded in getting a contract. After that, they told all just went to another bonding company and had the bond made out and now she is managing the estate of her husband. We wish more of our race had this nerve and ambition and would stop having white men administrators of Colored estates. This is a shame and disgrace and reflection on progressive Colored men of this age. Rev. D. J. Mitchell has been assigned from the M. E. Conference at Mexico, Mo. He is the one minister in the Conference who went over the top on the centenary money. He raised $100,00 considerable over the assessment. He also received a salary of $100,00 per month and was stationed at Columbia for years. Rev. J. A. Holt owns nice property, is janitor of the public school, which position he has held for a number of years. We visited the colored schools where we made a talk and must say that the principal and his assistants are doing a fine work. All that they need is that the School Board should do something to give an auditorium and also fit things so that the outhouses and toilets should be connected with the building. We are sorry to say that the toilets and outhouses sit way out, are old shacks of building, both toilets being exposed to each other and it is the duty of the parents of the children of Joplin to see that this thing is remedied. We are proud to see our friend, Mrs. Stover, who is a pioneer of Joplin, enjoying good health. She is an upright, Christian lady and she informed us that Mr. Romerie, who is formerly of Joplin, engaged in the harness business, paid her a visit a few days ago. She says he is doing fine in Florida. BAXTER SPRING We stopped off at Baxter Springs. The Colored people are doing fairly well. They own a blacksmith shop and a nice lodge hall. COLUMBUS Mr. M. Gilmore, one of the most substantial citizens of the town, has a daughter teaching in the public schools who is doing real well. We also met United States Attorney Williams here. We also met Lieut. Governor Huffman, who is a candidate for governor in 1922 and his friends say he is a winner. WEIR We stopped at Weir where the Colored people are doing fairly well. The miners are not doing much work. Mr. Wiley Johnson and Mr. Lollis are among the progressive citizens. Mrs. Lollis wants a boy about eight year old. This is a good home for a boy of that age. Any one knowing of a boy, correspond with Mrs. Lollis at Weir. CHEROKEE We found our friend, Mr. E. A. Reece here. He sprung a surprise on the people not long ago. He has been married to Miss Nellie Miles since 1919 and they just recently announced it and made it known to their friends in that town. He had been batching for a umber of years and we walked into his home we saw such fine furniture and other improvements we knew there must have been a woman about there and upon inquiry he admitted he had brought his stolen bride home. They were married at Independence. She is a graduate of the high school of Cherokee and from one of the best families of that section of the state. M. A. B.

The party was made up mostly of students of the Pittsburg normal, and citizens of the surrounding towns Mr. Percy Myers, of Kansas City, Mo, assisted by Messrs Myers and Foreman, furnished the music for the occasion. Mr. Myers returned to Kansas City the following day to resume his duties Frank T. Vanhook, reporter OTTAWA, KANSAS Bethany Chapel Baptist Church The members and friends of Bethany chapel Baptist church on the close of the six years administration, showed their appreciation by a great demonstration by each of the auxiliary. The Trustee Board and choicemembers gave a reception at his last meeting with them. Mrs Alice B. Cheek, and Mrs I. M. Hughes, read splendid papers expressing their appreciation. The Emergency Fund with Mrs T. L. Baller, president, presented him with a large check. This auxiliary is destined to be the largest in the church. Refreshments were served at the close of the meeting. The Sunday School, with Mrs Mary Allen, superintendent, rendered a programme and a token of a fine gold fountain pen was given him The B. Y. P. U., with Mrs Alice B. Cheek, president, gave an excellent programme in his behalf.

A splendid lecture full of advice was given by the pastor. Just before the close of the meeting Mr. Sid Moore, asked to have a word and he called for every one to come forward and to the surprise of the pastor and friends, they gave him a big silver offering. Every token given him came as a complete surprize. After six years of real success here, it would take years to repay the kindness and blessing which have come to us during his pastorate here. He has gone to Salina, Kansas, to build a $75000 office, but as members and friends, we can truthfully say he has built monumentaes here and taught us things which will never die. He has taught us by precept and example, the right way to living. His influence will never be forgotten in this church, community and the Neosha Valley district. He preached at Garnett on Thursday night and the friends there gave him a beautiful gold ring set with ruby and a large silver offering. Too much cannot be sold for Rev. Williams, as he is an ideal leader and pastor. Every one who stands for truth and the right loves him. He left for Salina Saturday noon, bidding friends goodby. Our loss is Salina's gain and we wish him the greatest success wherever he goes, but this we call his home. --- OSAGE CITY. KANSAS There was a social given Saturday night June 11th, at the U. B.
