TWO PROMINENT WOMEN DIEIl
Mrs. Amelia Gibbs and Mrs. Amanda Navew, living with
in one block Of each other on Michigan Ave., pass
away Suddenly last Monday Morning.
BOTH MEMBERS OF ALLEN CHAPEL AND THE MASONIC FAMILY

Mrs. Amelia Gibbs, 2518 Michigan
avenue, one of the best known woman
of our race in this city was found dead
in her bed Monday morning at 500
o'clock. Mrs. Gibbs had just recently
recovered from a paralytic stroke, but
had been able to resume her duties
and was supposed to be getting along
nicely. Her death was distinct shock
to the older citizens, white and Col
ored, of this city. She was member
of many years standing in Allen Chap
ell and was also a member of Carna-
tion Court, H. of j. under whose aus
pices the funeral services were held
Wednesday afternoon at Allen Csapel.
She left only one relative so far as
known, a son, Roy Gibbs, the well
known musician. Her husband, Ed
ward Gibbs, who died several years
ago, was one of the best known bar
bers in Kansas City and in ibis life
time he made host of friends among
the representative white people of
this city.
Hardly had the announcement been
made to immediate friends than that
entire section of the city was again
startled by the shocking announce
ment that Mrs. Amanda Naview, who
lived just half block away from Mrs.

Gibbs residence, had also passed
away without warning during the
night and was found cold in death on
Monday morning at about the same
time the lifeless form of Mrs. Gibbs
was discovered. Mrs. Naview was al
so an old member of Allen Chapel
where for a number of years she has
served on the Senior Stewardess
Board and was at her post of duty
in that church apparently in good
health on the preceding Sunday. Mrs
Naview was about 81 years of age
and leaves an immediate family con-
sisting of a husband, three sons:
Joseph, William and Octavious Ma
view; three daughters: Mrs. Eliza
Edwards, Mrs. John Edgar Taylor and
Mrs. Emma Brown; also brother in
Chicago. Ill. She was member of

whose auspices she was buried from
Allen Chapel Thursday afternoon at
200 o'clock. Rev. VIM. H. Thomas

Dr. ]. Edward Perry, Kansas City's
foremost physician and the founder
of Perry's Sanitarium, now the Wheat
ley-Provident Hospital, left last Mon
day evening for an extended visit to
his native state Texas.
He will visit the community of his
boyhood days: the old fam place, the
little old school house, the old well
where many, many times he quenched
his childhood thirst, and some of the
old settlers who may be living and
who were lifs long friends of his saint
ed father and mother, who have long
since passed to the great beyond. He
will also visit his Alma Mater, Bishop
College, and enjoy the commencement
exercises after an absence of twenty
six long years.
Missouri in general, and Greater
Kansas City in particular is exceed
ingly proud of DR.. Perry, who has for
twenty-five years been a citizen of
this commonwealth. During the Span
ish-American war, he served as a first
lieutenant in one of the Immune Regi-
ments and his patriotism and loyalty
to his country has always been pro-
nounced. Only those who know real
ize the splendid sacrifice DR.. Perry
has made to advance the interest of
his race, and when there was not a
single hospital in Kansas City to ad-
NIT Negroes, he drew on his personal
funds for the construction and devel-
opment of the famed Perry Sanitar-
ium, which is filling much needed
want in this great city DIR, Perry is

men in the medical profession. The
Sun wishes him a pleasant trip and
a delightful sojourn among old scenes

DR.. Perry possesses a charming

TO ROSCOE CoNKLIN SIMMONS.

Thine is the Muse that unto Poets belong
Thy words fall sweet as those of Song
The Soul may soar, when thy tongue speaks,
Like the bird that spurns the Andes peaks
And when you it feels pain,
To find itself on earth again.
You stand before us on the stage
And hushed are all, both fool and sage,
With that strange spell that long ago,
Held Rome, when spake great Cicero.
The heart beats quick, the blood leaps fast
AS Warriors hearing the trumpets blast.
Speak, on! Speak On! They who were slaves,
Look smiling thee from their graves,
Happy that you their son can rise,
And speak their souls unworded cries
Thy name Truths record of light
Fame has dipted her pen to write!

FREE FAIR A SUCCESS
Sherman County Surprised Her Own
9 Citizens With Exhibits.

Goodland, Kan, Sept. 25.-Friday
afternoon marked the close of the tree
fair and Farmers institute meeting at
this place. When this free fair pro-
position was first mentioned a great
many people remarked that this place
was not a city like Topeka and that
it would be impossible to carry out a
free fair as proposed by the promoters
1t is conservatively estimated that
1900 people passed thru the free gate
during the two days taken up to carry
out the free program given.
The big feature of the first day was
the speech by C. o. Dralyton. national
president of the Farmers Equity
union, and the placing and judging of
ments
The agricultural exhibits was the
finest and best ever thrown open to
the public in Sherman county. Many
of the home people even remarked
that they had no idea that the county
had such products as were shown.
Some men questioned whether the
products shown were all grown in
Sherman county.
On Friday a big community dinner
was given in honor of the old settlers,
it is estimated that at least 500 people
partook of this dinner.
Ross NJ. Sherwood, of the State
Agricultural college and Hays B.

addressed the people during the after
noon, and three minute talks were
also given by a number of our old set

BACK TO BUGGY RIDES!
Health Hint by Carriage Makers
Business Booming Despite Autos.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-The old fash
toned buggy ride as a health conserv-
err was advocated today by George
w. Houston of Cincinnati, assistant
secretary of the Carriage Builders Ma
tional association, the oldest business
organization in America. A three-day
convention of the association opened
here today.
Automobiles are enjoying a boom
but manufacturers of buggies and car
riages are doing more business now
than for many seasons" Houston said.
Ambulance bodies, gun carriages and
other war equipment are being made
in carriage manufacturing plants"
Houston also said there has been a
40 per cent increase in the price of
horse drawn vehicles within the past
year. Increased price of steel and
higher wages caused the advance, he
said.

The two weeks mail vote closed at
midnight The ballots will not be
officially counted before Thursday,
but Victor Olander, secretary of the

tically unaQimous in favor of the
strike.
Olander and other union officials
are expected to make one more effort
to effect an agreement with the~Iake
Carriers association before the strike
becomes effective October 1.
Our demand is the extension of
the Atlantic agreement to the Great
Lakes in the manner recommended
by the Washington conference August
1, which was approved by the gov
eminent" said Olander.
1--WE believe the Great Lakes should
be used in training men for merchant
ships which ply in the war zone. This
was the purpose of the Washington
conference. Under existing conditions
young men on the Great Lakes are
not given the opportunity to become
able seamen. AS a result thousands
quit the boats annually in disgust"
If the men walk out, freight traffic
on the Great Lakes would be prac-
tically paralyzed. Owners of pas
senger steamers have expressed their
willingness for Cancellation. About
four thousand, seamen, four thousand
firemen and two thousand cooks are
affected by the vote

CHANCE FOR ALL
War Bonds Will Be Issued in
Denominations of S..
Every Man, Woman and Child
Can Purchase Them.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Every man,
woman and child in the United States
is to be given the opportunity to be-
come a contributor to the war funds
of the nation by the provisions of the
bond and certificate bill now before
the president. The measure provides
for the issuance by the federal treas
ury of war savings certificates. Sec
rotary McAdoo has announced that
they will be sold in as small denom-
nations as SIS. These certificates will
also be used to encourage war time
thrift among the subscribers.
Pans are under way by which
stamps of small denominations may
be purchased and carried in books is
sued for that purpose and accumulat-
ed until a sufficient amount has been
saved to purchase a war savings GER
tificate of SIS, which will bear interest
at the rate of four per cent per an
mum, payable at maturity.
Redeem Certificates.
The government will also redeem
these war certificates at any time be-
fore maturity upon request of the
holder, allowing interest at a less rate
than four per cent.
Secretary McAdoo has appointed a
war savings committee to direct the
campaign for the encouragement of
thrift and economy, by means of these
war savings certificates. Frank A.
Vanderlip of New York has been
named chairman of the committee,
which also includes Mrs. Geo. Bass of
the Women's Liberty Loan committee,
Frederick A. Delano, of the Federal
Reserve board, Henry Ford of Detroit.
Eugene Myer, jr., of New York, and
Charles L. Paine. secretary-treasurer
of the Boot and Shoe Workers Inter
national Union.
McAdoo's Statement.
Secretary McAdeo made this state
ment:
at is vitality necessary that the
American people should practice saw
ing on a large scale during the prog
resS of the war. In no other way can
the government be financed and with
out adequate financing our soldiers
and sailors can not be supplied with
guns, ammunition, clothing and food
nor can the war be carried to a swift
and victorious conclusion. This will
| give every man, woman and child, in
! America, no matter how small his
means, the opportunity to do some
thing to help the government"

what a difference only a few
hours make was the expression made
by several members of the medical de-
tachment of the field artillery this
morning after looking into their
empty Golfers Monday night.
1t is quite a change, they all declare,
in speaking of the finances. From
40 cents to more than $500 is quite a
change, every one agrees. From
nearly a moneyless company to indie
pendence is the climb in the financial
world that the detachment made with
the proceeds of their street military
ball given Monday night on Topeka
avenue, between Eleventh and
Twelfth street.
Revenue from the dance amounted
to more than $500, including money
taken in from the SO cent ice cream
and rs cent confetti. 1t was scheme

SWEET POTATO SEED
Digging Time Is the Time to Select
Best Tubers

Manhattan, Kan, Sept. 25.-Select
disease free seed sweet potatoes at
digging time and avoid severe loss
next season thru stem rot. black rot,
ring rot, and soft rot diseases, is the
advice of L. f. Melchers assistant
professor of botany in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
Stem rot is found in IS per cent
of the sweet potato fields of Kansas,
and because of this fact the industry
has taken slump in the last few
years, points out Professor Melchers.
The repeated use of the same soil in
the hotbed year after year spreads
these diseases in the field. Soil once
infested spreads these diseases every
season, even tho perfectly healthy seed
is planted.
Healthy seed should be selected at
seeding time and stored under proper
conditions, thereby insurng the best
possible seed for next seasons plant
ing. Select-a large number of healthy
appearing hills or vines and split open
the crowns of the runners and exam
inc for stem rot. If the crown is in
ternaIly free of disease select the seed
from such hills, for this will insure
clean seed for next year.
