The Afro-American

Every Male Citizen of Every Race, Between 21 and 31 Years of Age Must Sign Up For Service. It does not make any difference whether you are a white man, a black man, a yellow man, or even a red man. Whether you are an American, Chimman. German, Frenchman, or any other kind of man, between the ages of 21 and 31, you must go to the registration office next Tuesday and tell all you know about yourself. It matters not whether you are sick and in bed, whether you are blind, pricked or dead. You must either register or get some one to do it for you. This is the law and there is heavy penalty attached to failing perform this duty. It may be that you are immune, that you will have some very excellent reason for staying home, the law recognises none of these things until you have registered. Rich and poor, literate and ill, some, some, some. Uncle Sam says get home on the books and there it must go, or -- well Uncle Sam says come up and register or a long tail term or a heavy fine, and it will be some fine. So be sure and register next Tuesday. The exceptions will come later, no one will have Uncle Sam makes no distinctions, there is no segregation or Jimcrow business here, he says ALL and he means ALL. So get busy. If you live elsewhere and are visiting here send your registration to your home town, and in order to do this you will have to go to the court clerk, get a registration blank, certify it and then send it to the register in your home city or home place for registration there. Now this is no child's play, and unless you want trouble—REGISTER. Commencement At Atlanta University Atlanta. Ga.

These people were on their way to the Eastern Sho' where for the next four or five weeks they will do their "bilt" towards saving Maryland's strawberry district, but the sho' is located a short distance from Salisbury, lies ones of the largest strawberry districts in the country; and every year thousands of "pickers" are carried there from Baltimore and other cities to help gather the crop. Among those who left on the "Starlight" who, year after year take this pilgrimage to the old Eastern Sho' and the "strawberry country." Happenings of Interest In the City of Baltimore TRAINING SCHOOL GIRLS Instead of the regular "Class Day" exercises, the members of the senior class of the Teachers' Training School at Sharon Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon. A large and critical audience filled the church and listened with rapt attention to the addresses by the members of the faculty of the school as well as the numbers rendered by the members of the class. Most of the addresses dealt with the serious issues of the school's various relations to community interests. The speakers dealt with the necessity of cooperation between the parent and teacher to the end that the child might receive the greatest benefit. Prof. Joseph H. Lockerman, principal of the school, said that over four hundred young men and women had graduated from the Teachers' Training School and declared that the school could not be estimated. Other members of the faculty who spoke, were Mr. Lewis H. Murray and Miss Frances L. Murphy. It was a thoughtful tribute to the work of Dr. W. M. Alexander in the interest of education in this city, that the first departure from the "lighter side" of the church pressing duties and responsibilities of those who graduate, should be held in the church of which he is the pastor. The sermon to the senior class will be prescheduled on Sunday, June the first day of the month. Methodist Episcopal Church by the pastor, Rev. Dr. W. Simpson Brooks.

The Price of This Paper Is Three, (3) Cents Pay'No More At Any Time, Anywhere PRICE THREE CENTS Wonderful Strides Made Under Leadership of Secretary Booker. Association a Social Center. Probably no institution in the city has been more a centre for social workers than the colored Young Men's Christian Association, located at 1619 Gold Hill Avenue, rootwithstanding the cramped quarters and inadequate facilities, wonderful strides have made under the leadership of General Secretary S. S. Booker. During the two years he has been in charge of the work here, not only succeeded in giving the confidence of the people, but he has built up the membership from 97 to over eight hundred. In the report of the General Secretary for the year ending April, a great deal of information is brought to light concerning the work of the association, with reference to some of the reports read reads: 16 affection, the association has taken special interest in the youth of the city. More than 318 men and boys have been interviewed and advised in some Three hundred and sixty women have been directed to houses, railroad stations, bathhouses and restaurants. More than this, the association has become a centre for visitors, athletic teams and travelers who stop at route North and and have building from all parts of the country and especially from the Southland. "The association has held eleven membership socials, one hundred and fifteen committee meetings and group conferences in the interest of work. There have been in the twenty-three religious meetings, sixteen life problem group meetings and a six day Bible Institute with a general attendance of two eleven five hundred persons, three these meetings and a attendance of one thousand six hundred men. The association furnishes some recreation to the men. The pocket billiard room adds much interest to the life of the building. Two hard-dried different members have played five or more games through the year, and many members have been conducted and two matches with out-of-town clubs. "The social room is provided with five checker boards and several other games of interest. We can-date reading room in more than fifteen with paper and magazines is open to all. "With all we have done it amounts to little when compared to the great need and unusual opportunity that must be ours in the future. We not made much progress in constructing the rooms we are, limited in means and equipment. We can truthfully say that we have made a little progress during the year in which all hands have helped and every member of the brotherhood deserves to be grateful to the members of all the committees for the way in which they worked. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE TEACHERS. PASTORS AND CIVIC WORKERS AMONG COL- ORED PEOPLE. Perhaps never before has there been such an opportunity offered the colored people as is offered now for employment, outside of mental work. Women in factories and plants; men in almost every line of work; women in being at good wages and congenial hours. Advertisements in the daily and weekly papers calling for hundreds of men and women are seen every week, so there is absolutely no excuse for not finding work to make a living. Wages, in many instances, are not paid, as being offered, frequently for all the year round workers. Every race man knows just how unreliable much of this labor is among our people, and it is up to the race leaders to emphasize, for the people becoming reliable workers. From every public and from every rostrum. In every school room and in every civic society emphasis should be placed on this particular phase of our activity or inactivity. It is all very well for us to contend with it, but it is equally prudent that we should be taught how to live in this world while we are here and have to contend with things as we find them. Right living here will be all the preparation we need for living elsewhere. We are helping our teachers, and all others who have the ear of the race to emphasize this particular thing. A few words after the sermon, morning and evening, will in our judgment, help greatly along this line. Our future depends greatly upon how we take advantage of our present opportunities. We will build a race. We believe you will. THE AFRICAMERICAN. DUBois CIRCLE CLOSES. At the closing meeting of the Du- bois Circle, held on last Friday even- ing at the residence or Mrs. George E. Fry, the principal speaker was Dau- E. E. DuBois of New York, editor of the Crisis. COLONEL MIDNIGHT AT COMMENCEMENT Orangeburg, S. C.—Have you ever had the pleasure of standing before an audience and delivering your soul so to speak? I mean to ask if you have ever been a graduate in any school or from any school, and if you have you know what these times mean. You know what it is to stand before the professor and orate time and time again, getting ready for the day they call commencement. day the commencement day, for it is the ending of school and many leave the school room to never return again while others keep on going until they can't go no more, and then the end of time. I have been to school, and I have been to some school commencements in the past few days. I have seen young men and young women get diplomas, and then I have been called upon to say a few words to some of them. I was at the commencement of Voorhees Industrial School in Denmark, and there I heard Hdn. J. C. Napier make a speech, and he made a telling talk to these people, believe me. He is one man who knows how to talk, and I believe he had some to do with inventing it. I am sure you are acquainted with Hon. J. C. Napier, because he is president of the National Negro Business League which is to meet next August in Chattanooga, the historic place and I am told that they expect to hold one session on Lookout Mountain which will be a good place for such a meeting. The people will be given an opportunity to see things and to hold things down in their estimation. I am delighted beyond expression to have heard this great man, and what he told to the young people. At the Florida Baptist College, I was invited to make a speech and I made one too. I told those young people about the war and war times, and then I told them to go out in the world and make something. I told them how much better prepared they are for wars now than me and General Grant were when we were fighting. That battle has been fought and the victory won and all America is united as never before to meet the enemy. He has not been over here to bother us yet, but we are going over there to see him and to see what we can hear from him. We are going to sweep him away if possible. The people in the United States are the lightest people in the world. They had 18 young people to graduate from this school. I want to congratulate Prof. N. W. Collier on his good work, and then I would remember Prof. Martin A. Menafee, of Denmark. He is one man who knows how to run a school. He is a business man if you wilt listen to what I tell you about it. He took time to get trained. Getting through with Prof. Menafee, and back to Jacksonville, and then a trip to St. Augustine with Rev. J. E. Ford, D. D., pastor of Bethle Institutional Baptist Church, and one of the best preachers in this country. It is always a pleasure to be with Dr. Ford. Returning to the school I had the pleasure of talking with Miss Sarah A. Blocker, and others and then off to another part of the world. I made a trip from there to Bartow. Fm., found many strawberries on the road. Enjoyed eating some of them. Back to Jacksonville, where I touched the Rev. Dr. John A. Gregg, president of Edward Waters College, and one of the leading men in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. They are now getting into his commencement, and it promises to be something great. Dr. Gregg is one of the ministers of the A. M. E. Church with a good record and who is devoted to his work, his church and his God. I was delighted to see him and to talk with him from time to time. I would nominate him right now for the episcopacy, but that is too far off. The delegates are going to look after that in due time. I will not be able to tell you about Bartow, because I want to get through with the school question. I made it to this place because I was invited here by Miss Helen Wilkinson, the daughter of the president, to see her graduate. That young woman will make one more address. She knows how to speak, and is as modest as a young woman should be. It was to me pleasure to hear her speak, and to see how well she had down her address. God bless her and keep her forever. Getting through with her, next found me on my way to hear the others. Now about this institution. It is the state school. The Governor came down to the school to see what his people were doing. He is just one busy man, but not too busy to look after the school. I heard all the address, and then turned my attention to some of the things I had seen or heard. I think it is wrong to parade the faults of a minister, hence I am not going to tell you about the blunders made by the Rev. Dr. R. D. Brooks, of Alken, S. C., who was fired one hundred dollars for toting a shooting pistol. I thought all Americans would be allowed to tote a pistol now because we are in war. Dr. Brooks had been at war with his members, and they wanted to get rid of him. They said all manner of things about him and called him everything but a child, whether he deserved it or not. They were arrested, and I am told that they even engaged with selling strong I know this is not true, but I do know that the judge told him that he must leave town, and be out before the next day, and believe me they said that he gave me judge about three hours change, and is now away. I don't know as you know the Rev. Dr. Erooks, but he is a big man. He was a ring leader in the affairs which walked out of the National Baptist Convention. He was in the walkouts. I am praying for him and do not want to tell you about his mistakes. With a sad heart, I noted last week the death of Editor A. P. P. Caldwell. He was a fine man, and not only published a paper himself, but worked on one of the Philadelphia papers. He served his people and served them well, but he is no more in this world. People are still leaving the South, and a few more things like happened in Memphis a few days ago and we will all be gone. When we civilized Americans, with our culture, soak a in oil, we can hang him up, set him on fire and see the flesh drop from his bones, whither are we drifting? I ask the question without comment. God is not dead, and one day soon He will wake up. I will not say much about this. Thousands of people are leaving the South, and others will follow later. I want them to remain, but if powerless when I see so much going on. I will have more to say to you about this another time. We are not going to stand all things. This is our country and we are being told that. I hope that some day the American flag will float over us all at home as well as abroad. God hasten the day. We are going to die right by the side of the white man if we are to do any fighting. His fight will be ours and our fight will be his. We are Americans. I shall have more to say to you. J. O.

In deciding on what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomada that has stood the test of time. It is the invention of a New York chemist and is made under the personal supervision of a licensed pharmacist of many years' experience. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. It makes the hair soft, smooth and glossy, and easy to put up in the style desired. To get the best results from the use of Quinade the scalp should be shampooed at regular intervals with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and contains no animal fat of any kind. It lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp, unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. If your drugrist or dealer does not stock these two for you, please contact them for you from his wholesale. The price is 95 cents each. Write to Seeby Dr. Co. 79 East 130th street, New York City for a sample, mentioning the name of this paper.

TAKES NUXATED IRON to obtain renewed strength, power and endurance after the ancient fought political campaign of his life in when he was elected Congressman from the State of Illinois. The results derived from asking Nuxated iron were so surprising that曼努尔 Nuxated iron should be made known to every nervous, run-down anaemic man, woman and child. Opinion of Doctor Howard James, late of the Manhattan State Hospital of N. Y., and formerly Assistant Physician Brooklyn State Hospital, who has prescribed and thoroughly tested Nuxated iron in his own private practice. Senator Mason's championship of Pure Food and Drugs legislation has strong advocacy of all bills favoring labor and the rights of the masses as against taxes and combines, made him a national figure at Washington and ennured him to the position throughout the United States. Senator Mason has the distinction of being one of the really big men of the nation, intelligent thinking reader that it must be a preparation of very great merit and one which the Senator feels is bound to be of great value to the masses of people everywhere. He especially after the strong advocacy of pure food and drugs. Since Senator Leigh has obtained such an enormous sales force militant in annually-used organ preparations are recommended as a substitute for it.

Next take two 5 grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained.

It enriches the blood, brings roses to the cheeks of women and is an unfailing source of renewed, vitality, endurance and power for men who burn up too easily by their nervous energy in a tenacious business competition of the day." Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician who has studied abroad in great European medical institutions, said Mason is right to raise a bounty to over organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. "Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly a half century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. I was natanished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of twenty and of vigor; him with the same of young men; you might be really notwithstanding his age.

Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing anything to it. You can only out of it and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sickly taking just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test. See how long you live, how long you live without becoming weak. Next take two 5 gram tablets of ordinary nurged iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run-downdown pauses who were tired of strength and endurance and entirely tired themselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this after they had in some cases been doctoring for them, taking taining and not taking or reduced iron, iron accuse or tincure of iron simply to save a few cents. The iron demanded by Mother Nature for the red coloring matter in the blood of her children is alas, not that kind of iron. You must take iron in a form that is absorbed and not reduced to do you worse, otherwise it may prove worse than useless. NOTE—Nuxated iron which is prescribed and recommended above by physicians in such a great variety of cases, is not a patent prediction nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists and whose frog constituents are wily prescribed by eminent physicians both in Europe and America. Unlike the older inorganic iron products, it is easily associated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach, on the contrary it is a most potent remedy in nearly all forms of indifference as well as for nervous rar-dow conditions. The manufacturers have such great conscience in minced iron that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable institution if they cannot make any man or woman under 50 who lacks iron, and increase their strength 100 per cent or over in four weeks' time provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days' time, it is dispensed by all good druggists. Chestertown, Md.

For 17 years I was tormented with a terrible skin disease which the doctors called EUZEMA. It set me at times almost crazy from tiring. During those years, I went to hospitals and tried about 30 doctors without relief. The disease never checked. My son took me to Dr. Campbell, the specialist, 1359 N. Carey street, Baltimore. Md. He treated me months and I am now completely cured. My brother happens to suffer such awful skin disease, so to Dr Campbell, who I believe, can cure anything a person was not born with, and he is, to my relief, the best doctor in the world. MRS.

BALTIMORE, JUNE 2, 1917 No people in the world can best the Negro in the kitchen or on the farm. Here is where the race can serge," says a commencement orator to a group of Southern graduates. No one paid much attention to him for the Southerners are still migrating northward in order to best other people in something else as well. DRIBBLE OR STREAM? There are two ways of arriving at the number of colored people who for various reasons have left the South and sought homes in the North. One way is, of course, to determine how many people have left their homes in the South. The other way is to determine how many strangers have recently settled in the North. Either of these two methods pursued accurately would eventually bring to light the extent of the migration. A confusion of these two methods and a happy imagination have enabled authorities on the migration to arrive at very curious results. For example, a correspondent of the Union Springs, Alabama Herald quotes a Commissioner of the Department of Labor to the effect that "between 20,000 and 30,000 Southern Negroes have migrated to the Northern States during the past year." Realizing how woefully small these figures are, the correspondent adds, "since the Negro started job-hunting in the North, the communities in a number of Southern states have been deserted." In the current number of the "Crisis" Dr. W. E. B. DuBois attempts to summarize the exodus and its causes and effects. Dr. DuBois estimates the number of persons, who have already left the South as 250,000. He admits that the data at hand are vague, and have been collected from a hundred different sources. Perhaps the railway companies that handle the passengers are in a better position to give estimates than any other source. It is for this reason that the figures of the railway companies sent to the Conference of the M. E. Church, which met recently in Cincinnati, Ohio, are more trustworthy than any newspaper summaries could be. According to these figures, the number of emigrants in the past year alone is 1,000,000. Surely the "Margin of error" somewhere is extraordinary. J. H. Duckery of the Pennsylvania R. R. reports over 2,000,000 since January 1 of this year. As usual, what the house cat reports as a dribble, the cook roach calls a great big stream. Somewhere between 20,000 and 2,000,000 lies the number of emigrants. For the correct estimate of people affected, we can only wait for the census of 1920. THE ORIGIN OF CRAPS An appropriation of $100 by the Jefferson County Fiscal Court to the Annual Colored Fair at Fern Creek, because on the day set aside for the visit of the Court to the festivities, fried "waller leg" chicken and watermelon will predominate on the bill of fare, would seem to indicate that Kentucky like all Southerners are fond of the South's best dishes. When in addition some white high school youths of Louisville were arrested on the charge of playing "eraps," the Hopkinsville Saturday News arose to remark that all the colored people's time honored customs seem destined to be adopted by the whites. How odd. To go back no further than Shakespeare's time, when there were no colored people in Kentucky or any of the Southern states, the English poet speaks of a character who "was diced not more than seven times per week." The seventeenth century on the continent of Europe was famous for the bloody Thirty Years War between Protestant and Catholic, and the frequent dice games in which whole fortunes and estates changed hands over night. It might occur to the Hopkinsville News that the English and German colonists brought our familiar "craps" to America with them, and that the colored slave picked up the game by seeing it played by the gentry of the South. To be sure the Puritans of New England were entirely too strict for any such levity. When it comes to the chicken and watermelon, we are inclined to agree altogether with the News when it says: "Fried chicken and watermelon will tempt anybody." THE ATLANTA FIRE Several hundred colored homes, most of them frame houses in the poorer district of Atlanta, Georgia, a half dozen churches including the old Wheat Street Edifice and St. Paul's Episcopal Church, and the Hospital Building of Morris Brown University went up in the recent $3,000,000 fire. The loss among the colored folk will probably reach three quarters of a million dollars. Before the fire was over, agencies like the Odd Follows, Standard Life Insurance, Atlanta State Savings Bank and Atlanta Mutual bent all of their energies toward the relief of the sufferers. The charity organizations of the city aided all corners as far as they were able. In Washington, D. C. the National Red Cross engaged 100 workers, 8 of them colored at the rate of $8 per day and carfair, to go to Atlanta and assist in the work of distribution of supplies. Fortunately the people of Atlanta felt that they could handle the situation without help, so that the workers were held in Washington. The great damage of the fire, it was stated was due to the fact that the blaze started in the colored section of dry frange dwellings and was carried beyond into the best residential section of the whites before it could be controlled. The lesson of the Atlanta fire seems to be that bad housing breeds not only ill-health, but decreases the security from fires. RACE RIOTS IN EAST ST. LOUIS The race riots in East St. Louis, Illinois just across the Mississippi river from St. Louis, Missouri are nothing more than labor disturbances. Workers in the factories and on the river in keeping with the rise in the cost of living and the increased value of their products demanded more wages, and when these demands were put granted went on a strike. In order to hold out against the demands of the workers, employers imported, according to a rough estimate, 8,000 colored men from the South to act as strike-packers. Atho it first appeared that the trouble had its beginnings in friction and prejudice between whites and colored, later investigation showed that splice-breakers and strikers were the chief offenders involved. The Negro in coming Northward as cheap and therefore exploited labor is assuming the mortgage of the foreign workers, who before the European war worked is the first and by the employers of such a. The result will be finally that the Negro will be asked to join the Labor Unions like other workers. A BALD-FACE LIE "Came to his death from cause or causes unknown to the jury." This was the verdict rendered by the coroner's jury which sat on the case of Eli Person, who was lynched by a mob in broad daylight near the city of Memphis, Tenn., Tuesday of last week. Nobody on earth knew better than did this jury what had happened to Person, and what was the cause of his death, and moreover, it could without the least possible trouble put its hands on the people engaged in it, and responsible for it. Why then, as a legal body meet together and decide tell a lie of the very first water? Why, at least with the knowledge that no harm could possibly come to them, and knowing as they did that anything said or done unfavorable to the victim of mob law, would meet with anything else but condemnation on the part of the community, then the necessity of lying. Why add lying to the crime of murder? An assault and murder had been committed by a low down common Negro, the officers of the law, the Courts of law, all the officials of every kind were white, and one and all prejudiced against the race of the criminal, why then the necessity of mob law to punish the murderer? In the shortest possible time, possibly not more than twenty-four hours after his arrest he could have been convicted in any court of law in Tennessee, and in twenty-four more hours he could have been legally executed, why then the mob and ingaste? The poor devil had no chance whatever to escape the meshes of the law. Why then the mob and why then the law and the verdict of a coroner's duty to hide an infraction of the law? The wind is being sown and whirlwind will be the reaping. FATHER GRIFFITHS. Baltimoreans greatly regret the decision of Rev. George A. Griffiths, for nine years pastor of St. Mary's Church THE AFRO-AMERICAN. SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1917. to resign his pastorate and enter the novate of the Order of the Holy Cross. During his ministry here Rev. Griffiths has endeared himself to citizens of all denominations by his tireless energy in everything that meant for better morals and a quickened community conscience. Under his leadership St. Mary's Church has grown remarkably and his influence has been felt thrust into the entire community. While he enters his new field of labor with the best wishes of all the citizens, his leaving will be a distinct loss to the city. REPORT OF QUEEN'S RALLY The Queen's Rally at St. Matti M. E. Church, East 23rd street, May 4th and May 10th, was a success. The reports of the queen as follows: America, Mrs. Harland $1 The May Plower, Mrs. S. E.

While with this body of Uncle Sam's finest horsemen, Lieutenant Pershing won such a reputation as a strategist that he was assigned to West Point as an instructor. When the war with Spain broke out, he applied for and obtained his old command with the Tenth. At the battle of El Caney, he was raised to the rank of captain for exceptional bravery. As a leader of the forces that helped out of a tight place at San Juan Hill, the big tall cavalry leader came under the eye of Colonel Roosevelt, who when he became president, set aside all military precedent and jumped Captain Pershing over the heads of 862 officers, his seniors in rank and service, creating him a Brigadier General. There ensued quite a lot of hubbub and noise, but the President remained firm, and Captain Pershing kept his appointment. GET ON THE JOB When you have made a real determined effort to get a whole pie and only ensures in getting a half pie, then it would be very foolish if one should refuse to eat pie because you can only get a half one. To our credit it be it said we made a real determined effort to be real American citizens, believing we had just the same rights as other Americans, and only a question of right and justice to the country and ourselves, but having lost that end of the fight we ought not to sink in our tents and not go at all and thus deprive ourselves of whatever benefits we might derive from going into an Officers' Training Camp. If there are any young men among us who are desirous of this training they should get in touch at once with the proper authorities and take up the work at once. We are to have at least 290,000 colored troops and we must see to it that these troops are officered by colored officers. The white man has somehow gotten it into his head, or he makes himself believe it is there, that colored men will not fight as well under colored officers as they would. under white. An awakening is coming to this white gentleman if he will kindly get out of the way and give us a chance to prove whether we will fight or not. Perhaps there is a lingering suspicion in his mind that the money coming from the job is the milk in the coconut and not the question of fighting. LOVE. Unknew, I sob and co-lament.

The committees who tried the case did find the counts in each case true and correct against President Robbison but for peace and harmony sake in their report prayed the genius of the clergy to perform an effort to drop the charges which was done for peace and harmony. It was reported that the President made a false statement that the Rev. W. X. Edwards had been suspended. This was no true as no minister, according to the law of our church, can be suspended without a fair and impartial trial; and since there has been no trial there can be no suspension. The report is therefore simply false. Signed. RALLY AT AMES GREAT SUCCESS The Cross and Crown Rally, which was held at Ames Memorial M. E. Church, on May 24-25-27 is an original idea of the pastor, the Rev. Albert J. Mitchell. The unique feature of it is that it blends all the features that are so necessary to the life of the church, namely, the social, evangelical and financial, and it is also very instructive. The whole church was vested for three nights and presented to the congregation. Another memorable feature is that it can with appropriateness be given on Sunday, and could serve as a substitute for a preaching service, for it produces a great religious effect. With incomplete returns, over eight hundred dollars were realized. Everybody's going to Albaugh's on Jung Jath.

On Monday, May 28th, the children of Ebenezer A. M. E. Sunday School gave a beautiful Glen Flower Rally composed of little queens, to renovate the Sunday School room and to partake in a work on a more efficient basis. The sum of $208.95 was realized as a result. Too much credit cannot be given the committee for their work and their accurate accounts, as well as the Sunday School board in their earnest efforts to assure success. We thank the parents and friends of the school for their hearty cooperation. A beautiful stage curtain was presented to the school by Mrs. Anne Ballard, one of the local members of the Home Department. Prizes were awarded to the queens raising the highest amounts in all of the reports are not in a full and complete report will be made through these columns at a later date. Charles Tolson, Supt. Rev. C. E. Stewart, Pastor. ALLEN A. M. E. CHURCH Alen A. M. E. Church is now ablaze large crowds are being attracted to hear our pastor. On last Sunday at each service, large and enthusiastic crowds came and all were amply paid for being there. The pastor, Dr. Stephan, spoke from Exodus 34-2, subject, "On the Mount With God." The Lord gave Dr. Stephan unusual power and before he finished we all fell we were on the mount and God fell at night he spoken from Acts 26:16, subject, "Up." After giving a graphic description of Paul's conversion, he invited attention to the present day needs of the church in having people soundly converted. He said: "As God court not use Paul while he crawled in the dust, blind, groping his way, he commanded him to rise and stand. So his call today is for men to get up out of the dust, stand upright, and hear the message to the dust crawler, except to rise and stand when once upon our feet looking up to God, whether through tear-blinded eyes or stunned vision, God speaks his message to our hearts and we hear." The pastor closed with a strong appeal for the dust crawlers to stand, and those standing to stand more erect and the church was loud with her "amens." Thus the services of the day were closed with one accession and visible signs of deep spiritual awakening. The pastor preaches next Sunday at 11 a. m., from Rev. 21-25, subject to communion at p. m. Everybody is welcome will be good music. MR. MOSELY AT THE REGENT The well known theatrical manager Charles Mosley, has, to the delight of his many friends, returned to the popular Regent Theatre.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS There was a very stormy time on Wednesday, May 30th with the Maryland Colored Baptist State Missionary Convention, when the committee brought in Dr. Junius Gray's name as candidate for the presidency of the convention. A motion was made to elect the president by acclamation just after President Taylor delivered his annual address. Dr. A. B. Cullis, the president, ordered a vote of order, and nothing was in order had the report of the nominating committee. This ruling caused a heated discussion and about half of the delegates were on their feet, but the presiding officer was equal to the occasion and controlled the situation. Finally the committee's report on nomination was called for, renewed and adopted. They then proceeded in the election of officers, and in the vote for president received 55 votes. At this point, Dr. Taylor, the president, across when he saw it was a tie and stated that he had never run in a contest for an office in his life, therefore he declined. When he declined, a motion was made that Dr. Junius Gray, pastor of the Ishalmist Baptist Church and corresponding secretary of the Mt. Bethel Baptist Association was elected. The other officers elected are Dr. A. B. Cullis, the president first vice president; Rev. C. O. Carter, second vice president; Rev. R. D. Johnson, recording secretary; Rev. A. B. Cullis, corresponding secretary; Dr. Jones Watkins, treasurer; Rev. J. Eubanks, statistician. **** DEATHS AND FUNERALS. THE LATE DORA W. QUEEN. During the spring of 1892, Dora W. Queen was elected a vestryman of St. James First African Church, Baltimore, and, as such, continued, without interruption, a warm, generous and loving service of the unmuffed successors of the late Rev. William until the morning of the 26th of May, 1917, when his translation occurred. As a fitting tribute, and one richly deserved, the Vestry of St. James First African Church thus publicly records its thankfulness to the Almighty for the good example of our brother, Dora W. Queen, in every phase of his contact with the work and people of the parish. He was honest, loyal, and faithful in every treatment and took supreme delight, and engagement in the worship and work of the church. The resolute courage, and thanksgiving to God, with which he sustained his affliction revealed the depths, sweetness and power of his inner life. With him. The strife is over, the battle done.

Pierce Shows Results Obtained Through the Co-operation of Farm Demonstration Agents Under the States Relation Service. Great Interest Taken In Corn Clubs. BY WILLIAM ANTHONY AERY. Some 5,000 farmers of Virginia, under the leadership of John B. Pierce, who is a Tuskegee-Hampton product, were influenced in the single calendar year of 1916 to improve their methods of work and secure crop yields far beyond the expectations of the most hopeful advocates of the farm demonstration idea. Eighteen local farm demonstration agents working in twenty-two counties of Virginia under the States Religious Service South—the fruition itself of the epoch making work of Seaman A. Knapp—have brought to the Negro farmers not only new ideas and better methods of tilling the soil and caring for farm products, but also a new vision of farm life, a clearer insight into farming as a business rather than as a mere occupation and a deeper sense of responsibility for the all around education of their boys and girls. Let facts tell the story of organization's gift to Virginia, for whatever helps the Negro farmer to increase his earning power also helps the white people to make genuine progress. During 1916, so Mr. Pierce reports to Bradford Knapp, chief of the States Relations Service, South, 449 Negro corn demonstrators in Virginia, cultivating 2,450 acres under improved methods, secured an average yield of thirty-three bushels per acre. This was an increased yield of 0.9 bushels on demonstration plots over plots cultivated by ordinary methods. In addition, 1,001 co-operators reported a yield of twenty-four bushels per acre on 1,952 acres. Granting that a similar result could be obtailed by all those who raise corn if only education could be carried on broadly, Virginia in a single year would add $10,000,000 to the value of her output of corn. Who dares to be skeptical or cynical of the Negroes' interest in better methods of farming in the light of these facts? Corresponding results have been secured in the small grains demonstrations. The average yield of oats per acre on demonstration plots was 18.9 bushels, representing an increased yield of 5.7 bushels and of wheat 16.1 bushels, representing an increased yield of 5.5 bushels. Today over 1,000 Negro farmers are using better methods of growing small grains on account of the government's interest in them. Does all this pay in dollars and cents, in increased interest in farming, in better homes? To ask the question is to answer it—certainly! Hay, forage, cover crops! These words commonly mean little. To the Negro farmer of Virginia they now spell success on the land. The local demonstration agents have worked night and day to make farmers understand the importance of making the land produce (without wearing it out) more food for man and beast and this story of awakening life on the farm. "Community development along all good lines!" This is the object of the 134 Negro farmers' clubs which were organized in 1916 throughout Virginia through the co-operation of John B. Pierce and sixteen local demonstration agents working under the States Relations Service and the extension division of the Virginia Polytechnic institute at Blacksburg. The total membership of the clubs was 1,838 and represented a progressive, farsighted group of farmers in the Old Dominion. These clubs made a good beginning in co-operation by buying 2,234 tons of lime. Five of the local agents also kept a bulletin board, listing goods for sale and goods wanted. What do the local demonstration agents do besides helping the farmers till their land and grow better crops? Here is a partial list, based on Mr. Pierce's 1916 report of the farm and farmstead improvements which the farmers of Virginia have made with the advice and assistance of the agents: Buildings erected, 130; farm buildings painted or whitewashed, 552; sanitary conditions (farm and home) improved, 933; homes screened against flies, 837; farmers furnished with plans and induced to adopt a systematic rotation, 136; total acreage put under rotation, 1,005; drainage system established, 39; home water systems installed or improved, 55; home grounds improved, 394; home gardens planted or improved, 1,198; farmers induced to save surplus farm products for winter use, 1,573. Can there be any question that the work of the local agent is limited merely to helping the farmer grow more crops so that he can secure more money to raise more crops? We think not. That increased earning power is an important and basal factor must be evident to the careful observer of rural conditions. That better living is a worthy goal for the hardworking farmer and his family is recognized by those who are engaged in carrying to the Negro farmers of Virginia a gospel of hope which is based upon intelligent work and Christian good will. "GET THREE CAMPAIGN." JUNE 6-17th. The membership committee and the Board of Directors of the colored branch, Y. M. C. A., are anxious to maintain their membership ranking among the associations of the country. During the past year the local association has ranked fourth, including the associations with new buildings. In order to keep this rating, 154 men and boys must renew their membership during the next thirty days. To aid in this matter a five day rally will be instituted at which time fifty men have been requested to get three men, either new or renewal. The date of the canvas is June 6th to the 11th. We cannot afford to lose a man from our ranks, entering as we are upon the greatest year in the history of the work, and too, on the verge of erecting a new $100,000 building. Every influential citizen ought to be a member of the Y. M. C. A., and help to promote a more wholesome atmosphere for the boys of our race. Rev. L. A. Carter was in the city this week and paid a visit to the Afro-American office. ANNAPOLIS HAPPENINGS.

She would never believe one single thing about him—her husband—no not a thing—no matter who told her. Her own mother is mistaken, her father and brother have been fooled, and his father, brother and mother are prejudiced against her and his sisters are treacherous. Her friends are abusive, they never cared for him anyway, and as good as told her she was a fool to marry him. They don't know him. How can they? Nobody understands Robert, but Honor, his wife. But I really wonder if she understands Robert. She has arisen later feeling very ill, and she had not felt better after she looked in the glass. Her face was splotched and saggy-looking with great dark circles under the eyes. Her nose was swollen and red. And a persistent cough racked her body and her voice sounded like a worn out megaphone and just like she was talking thru a sponge. She had caught a cold and it was at its most disagreeable stage. Ker-chou Ker-chou. "Oh, dear!" she exclaimed. "Do what I will I guess! I must always catch cold at the wrong time." She knew perfectly well how she came by it. Robert and taken out an automobile party, two days before, the Smith's and Alice Tayman her boarder. She had refused to wear her thick coat because it was old and shabby and she wanted to look as nice as Alice Tayman who insisted on standing in front bestie Robert. At Centerville, the car broke down. It was at the garage three hours, and when she reached home Honor was stiff and blue with cold. She got little sympathy from Alice Tayman, who told her she looked like a frozen chicken, which of course made her angry. "It's your own fault," said Robert. "You should have worn your heavy coat. I can't see why you act so much like a silly child, you make me tired." She knew it was her own fault, but she thought he need not have reminded her of it, she has been his wife six long months, and she was not used to unkind words from him. She wooed if she would ever be. Then when she thought of how he spoke before Alice and how Alice tittered and looked at Robert, as though she approved of what he said and how he said it, it made her feel blue indeed, and she buried her face in her pillow and sobbed her very heart out, but that didn't help any, and she only looked more of a fright than ever. Then Robert had come to her room, and when he found she was unable to rise and give him his breakfast he had patience immediately, because he was so particular about his coffee which he wanted as clear as crystal, and his eggs boiled exactly three minutes, and his toast piping hot. He was said clear through, and told Alice to come on, they would get their breakfast at the Pelham's Boarding House, and had gone out shaming the door behind them. When mom came, he did not even ask how she felt, but just phoned up and said he would get his lunch down town. About three clock she combed her hair and twisted it into a careless though unbecoming knot. The doctor had dropped in on his way to his office and advised her to keep on taking the medicine and keep warm and cheerful. She made some preparation for dinner—stuffed a duck and put it on to roast, fixed a nice tomato and lettuce salad, with his favorite dressing and put it on ice and baked a lemon custard. There is nothing nice a good meal to restore a man to good humor, she thought; and roast duck and tomato salad are Robert's special fancies. Cuddled among the pillows on the couch, close to the radiator she closed her eyes and fell to thinking of Robert herself and Alice Tayman, and many other things. Robert was not a handsome man, but he was dashing and stylish, he attracted attention everywhere, and he had a way with women that won them. He had won her, but not easily. He had beid of a long time, frankly afraid to marry a man. Suppose he should tire of her? Was he really tired of her in six short months? She was neither beautiful nor handsome. But she had loved him and stood by him when others had lost faith in him and condemned him. She had never believed any thing she heard about him, and so she took her chance of being happy with him with her eyes open. She had commenced to fear those chances had been large and uneven. She had been considered a good natured little fool. She had been jealous of him many times. She had seen him admire other women while she stood by unnoticed. But she believed and endured. Her mother had told her to use common sense and not go around dreaming and thinking any man was a god, which seemed to be her case. Alice Tayman was the latest addition to the town's younger set, and she was beautiful, and Robert loved beauty, and she had never seen him so crazy about any woman before. She robbed as she remembered, and her eyes got redder and her nose got soppier than ever. The door bell rang a joyous summoning, yeal which she must obey. But she had not expected what she found—Alice Tayman, vivid, stylish, smiling. "I thought you had your key" said Honor. "Oh, dear. I always forget, as I never bothered with a key at home," said Alice. "You poor dear you, what a cold you have, and you've been trying too. Tears and influenza, the worst peace destroying combination known. Let me come in and comfort you." This was the last thing Alice could do, but Honor patiently led her back to the overheated den. "Oh, what a temperature, Alice protested, as she flung off her coat and hat. But I suppose in your condition you don't mind it. I've been walking fast and my blood is in a glow and I'm always so healthy you see." "You're very lucky" said Honor, feebly. "Now, Mrs. Deane, do you really think you caught cold on your motor ride? I thought the weather was perfect, what one would call ideal spring weather. I'm afraid, dear you won't get to Mrs. Triggs' whist party tomorrow evening. I've just come from the dressmaker's. She's finishing my new gown. It's rose georgette crepe. Of course, Iron—Mr. Deane—will go even if you don't go. Or is he so devoted that he can't enjoy an evening without you." She laughed, and Honor, gentle and patient tho' she had been, could have killed her. Their eyes met, but clearly Alice had the best of it. She was so beautiful, insolently healthful and triumphant as she sat there, and her manner held such obvious contempt for the small, ailing wife, to whom the great brown leather couch was just then so unbecoming. "Robert's devotion to me will bear inspection I think," Honor answered quietly. "And I'm sure I can't tell you whether he intends to go to the whist without me or not." At that instant the door opened and Robert stood on the threshold, smiling and radiant. "Hello," he said to Honor, and "how are you Alice?" "You're home eury," Honor murmured. She wondered if the thing had been precarranged between Alice and Robert. "I came to see how you are," he said: "I'm better, thank you." "Doesn't look it does she?" Robert inquired of Alice. "No: poor dear. She looks frightful. I guess I'll go to my room and get ready for dinner." and picking up her coat and hat, she sauntered carelessly out of the room with a song on her lips. Robert pulled his chair up to the radiator, stuck his feet up on the top and leaning comfortably back said "Honor. I'm hungry, how near is dinner ready?" "It will be ready in a few minutes," said Honor as she slowly got off the couch and went to the kitchen. She dished up the dinner, set it on the table, rang the bell and went to her room. Robert and Alice arrived to the dining room at the sound of the bell, as both were hungry, but no Honor was there. "We won't wait," said Robert, "Honor will be along pretty soon, she's not feeling well." They ate their dinner and then went to the den again. Robert was enjoying his smoke along with the talk of a pretty woman and seemingly had forgotten Honor when he was surprised by hearing the clock strike nine. "So late" said Robert, "I must see what has become of Honor." Going to her room he discovered the light turned on rail, and on her dresser a long business looking envelope with "For Robert" on it in big black letters. Opening it he found just these few words, "Am going home, if you really want me in your home and truly love me, you'll find me at mother's when you come for me. Honor: Robert stared, and for a few minutes he was dazed. Coming to his senses he ran down the steps, grabbed his hat off the rack and rushed out of the house. Honor went home as the she had just dropped in for an evening, and no one knew that she had planned to leave Robert if he did not come for her that evening. While talking to her mother the door bell rang, and Robert came in with a rush. "Where's Honor," he said "I want to see her right away." But Robert had not heard, he had rushed into the sitting room, and grabbed Honor into the arms and was holding her as she 'never intended to ever let her go again. "Are you two crazy?" asked Honor's mother. "No," said Robert. "We've just found each other, at least I've just found myself." "Worse and more of it," said the small brother. But they neither heard nor cared. "Get your wraps. Honor, and let us go home," said Robert. Honor struggled with herself all the way home. Arriving home she said "Robert, are you going to the whist party without me?" Robert stared at her. "Good heavens, no. I never go anywhere without you, do I? Whatever put that in your head? Ey the way, if you haven't a heavy motor coat to wear motoring these cool days you'd better get yourself one. I've got some money now. I sold that old Mason property today to old man Dorsey for a warehouse. I've been after the old codger for nearly three weeks, but he is the slowest old fellow to deal with you ever saw. He's kept me on pins and needles. But today he invited me to lunch and he was ready for the property and would take it off my hands at my own price. Now you get a coat a fur lined one like Mrs. Smith's. "But hers cost $300," cried Honor amazed. "Oh Robert," Honor faltered, "looking really joyous and happy. "Now, I'll clean up the dishes," she said. "Do you feel equal to it?" Robert asked. Honor laughed. "Why I'm almost well," she cried. Just then Alice entered the room. "Mr. Deane" she said, "I've just come to tell you. I have another boarding place and am leaving in the morning." She dropped her handierchief as she was leaving the room. As Robert restored it to her she looked him full in the eyes. "Take good care of her," she pleaded. "I will," he answered shortly, as he closed the door behind her. "Come on Honor, he said, "you wash and I will dry the dishes and we will soon get straight. Thank the Lord we'll soon be so ourselves." Honor was thanking Him also. But just held her face for a kiss and laughed, she was so very, very happy. YOU MIGHT TRY Don't throw away your scorched milk. Pour into a clean vessel and when cold the burned taste will be gone.
