ALL NEW YORK TURNS OUT TO SEE 'BUFFALOES' Service Flag Presented to 367th Infantry Regi- ment in Front of Union League COL. MOSS PRAISES TROOPERS Fourth Flag to be Presented to Colored Soldiers by the Members of the Union New York, jarch 27—The 357 infantry regiment, composed of initially colored drafted men from New York city, were greeted with arousing emotion as they marched through the principal streets of the city last Saturday. They were met by an admiring populace when, more than 3,000 strong, they arrived from Camp Union. "The Buffaloos," as the regiment is called, marched for seven miles, ending up in Hardem, where the colored population is thickest. The parade line formed at the old armory of the Sixty-ninth regiment, and the men looked as spite and spam as if they had just come out of a bandage. Overlooking huge skyscrapers, a tint sky formed around the sun, bursting forth with glory, as the bells in a big tower beamed forth. Headed by a platoon of mounted police, the troopers swung up Fifth avenue to 35th street, where a reviewing stand had been created in front of the Union League Club, and there they lined Governor Whitman, with militant staff Emmet J. Scott, the supposed junior secretary of the Fifth Avenue, famer James H. Hughes, Charles W. Anderson, former collector of internal revenue for the Wall Street district, and other notables were on the sand. As Colonel Moss, commandant of the regiment, lined this men, Governor Whitman stepped forth to present a stand of regimental colors, the gift of the Union League Club. WHITMAN PRESENTS COLORS "into your hands this day," said the governor, "on behalf of Union League Club, I commit to your keeping the most sacred trust ever committed to—mang the flag of the United States." "Four times have colors been presented by this famous club to colored soldiers upon the very ground where you, stand today. Four times have those colors come back to this historic spot sometimes tattered and torn, it may be, but always honored and glorified." "I charge you to cherish, protect and preserve it with all the power and strength that God has given you. Should the necessity arise, your lives you should sacrifice for it. Your countrymen will watch you knowing that you will be true to the trust as Negro soldiers have always been." "Bring it back with you," he concluded, "though stained in blood from the far battlefields, without one stripe dishonored, without one star dimmed, without one fold saddled. Bring it back honorable, bring it back victorious, and may God bring you back to the land you sent you forth to fight for civilization." As the thousands burst into cheers, none seemed happier than Emmett Scott and Charles W. Anderson. COL. MOSS' RESONSE In responding, Col. James A. Moss praised highly the colored soldiers, with whom he had been connected for eighteen years. "We will return when the war is over," he said, "and present to the Union League Club the very sound of colors which you have presented to us. The banners then will tell a story to which all Americans may listen with pride and pleasure. That the colored soldiers will guard the flag, goes without saying, for the record of the colored troops is too well known. They will shield the flag with their lives. The regimental bane struck up the "Star-spangled Banner" and patriotic feel broke loose. Just as Emmett Scott, Charles W. Anderson and others entered automobiles for the other reviewing stand at Seward avenue and 139th street, where Mayor Hylan and other notables were awaiting the troopers, the command "Front!" was given. The troopers then faced the north, and began their long march to Harlem, where the ties of affection and relationship gave vent to the enthusiasm of the day. The men were quartered in the armory of the old 69th Regiment Saturday night. A big crowd assembled at the Manhattan Opera House Saturday night, to hear 1,000 members of the "Buffalo" regiment sing Southern melodies, egro spirituals and patriotic and popular songs. Abbie Mitchell also lent her sweet voice in the big volume of song and melody. It was a tired and happy lot of 5,700 men that re-entrained for Camp Upton Sunday night. "BUFFALOES" PRESENTED COLORS BY UNION LEAGUE CLUB Immediately after the presenting of the colors to the "Buffaloes" they sang the Star Spangled Banner. The photo shows one of the members of the Regiment leading the singing. The colors are also shown. Copyright Underwood & Underwood New York WAR SAVINGS STAMPS PARADE DR.

JONES LECTURES In an interesting lecture at Morgan College, on Thursday evening of last week, Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, of the United States Bureau of Education, took issue with the prevalent impression that he favored the curtailment of higher education for the Negro. He discussed the survey of Negro education that he made several years ago, and declared that his recommendation that several strong Negro colleges be maintained at strategic points was only for the purpose of building up institutions worth while, which could be maintained endowments. Three or four well equipped colleges, he said, would not provide anything like the higher educational opportunities needed for the 15,000,000 colored people of the South, but help greatly in training high-grade leaders. Dr. Jones deprecated any impression that he was for any limitation of Negro education, and said that newspapers had used extracts from his report to create the idea that he only favored industrial training. The higher education was needed, he said, to make the lower education more thorough. The speaker read extracts from his survey to show that the country had been given a false idea of his stand. He said that he did not urge any special educational for the Negro because of race.

BAPTISTS TRYING SAYS WAR HAS TO RE-UNITE HELPED NEGRO Conference Held Last Oeck at Memphis, Looking Towards Uniting Big Fractions Meeting of Two Big Leaders Forms Striking Scene Memphis, Tennessee, March 27.—A two day conference was held here at Howe Institute last week looking toward a reciting of the two National Baptist Conventions. A big splash occurred at the session held in Chicago in September, 1914, one faction continuing Rev. E. J. C. Morris, of Helema, Ark., as president and the other electing Rev. E. D. P. Jones, of Vicksburg, Miss., as head. The meeting was the result of an action taken at the session of the Southern Baptist Convention, (white) held in New Orleans last year. That body appointed Dr. A. L. Railey, Dr. J. R. Cambrell, Dr. A. J. Earley, Dr. J. B. Cambrell, Dr. A. J. Earley, Rev. Ben Cox and Dr. Rafus W. Weaver as a committee to meet with the colored Baptists. The Morris faction of the National Baptist Convention was represented by Revs. T. O. Fuller, Tennessee, chairman; Joseph A. Booker, Arkansas, secretary; L. K. Williams, Illinois; C. T. Walker, Georgia; C. H. Purrish, Kentucky, A. K. Criggs, Texas, and W. H. Moses, Pennsylvania. The Boyd faction was represented by Revs. D. B. Gaines, Arkansas, chairman; J. W. Hunt, Mississippi; E. W. Bowen, South Carolina; S. R. Prince, Texas; J. L. Carding, Tennessee; G. W. Alexander, Mississippi, and S. J. Jones, Oklahoma. These twenty-one men labored all day Monday and Tuesday of last week to come to a basis of agreement. While they deliberated more than 5,000 Baptist ministers from various parts of the country, as well as many laymen, were in session at First Baptist Church praying for a coalition. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, of Washington, who heads the women in one of the conventions, was a conspicuous figure. When the joint commission filed into the church and announced that it had been agreed to sink differences, much enthusiasm prevailed. The two wings will meet jointly in Washington next September, at which time the breach will be formally closed. MORRIS GREETS BOYD A striking feature of the notification that a basis of re-uniting was reached was when President E. C. "Morris" walked over to Dr. K. H. Boyd, head of the National Baptist Publishing House at Nashville, and gave him his outstretched hand. The two men grabbed each other's hand and the plaudits of the assembled hosts. Among the things agreed upon were: 1. That the National Baptist Publish House at Nashville be surrendered to the National Baptist Convention, the chair of the National Baptist Convention be changed so to bring the publishing house under the direct control of the convention. 2. That both factions hold their next annual sessions in the same city so that all differences may be formally buried. THE WRONG MR. LEWIS Washington, March 27—Washingtonians were surprised to notice in the planographic section of the Sunday Star a picture that was supposed to depict the well-known president of the Industrial Savings Bank. Investigation revealed the fact that it was the likeness of a John W. Levy, who at one time lived here. St. Denis, Md., March 25—The colored farmers of St. Denis, most of whom are members of the Patapsco Negro Business League, had as their guest last Sunday that Mammett Scott, a former Navy SEAL, now serving as special assistant to the Secretary of War. Accompanied by C. C. Fitzgerald, president of the Patapsco League, Van H. Langley, Jr., of St. Denis, and J. Lesterdale, Mr. Lesterdale to St. Denis Sunday afternoon and was met by an immense crowd of farmers, who, accompanied by their wives, had come for miles. In delivering an address to the farmers, he said, "Along with the increased demand for the things which are produced upon the farms, has unfortunately come a shortage of labor available for carrying on the work of the farms. Serious attention has been given to the need for the use of the question, and it is expected that an order will soon be issued by the proper officials in Washington, granting permission for all bona fide farmers and farm hands who have been caught in the act of stealing from the farms during the coming season. This, I trust, will afford some direct immediate relief to the farmers and truckers of Baltimore county and identity." James W. Johnson Makes Floquent Address at Big N. A. A. C. P. Meeting NEGRO'S OPPORTUNITY Declaras Nagro Now Has Better Chance to Become New Bedford, Mass., March 27.—In a recent address before the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People James Weldon Johnson, the national organizer, said that the war had helped the Negro through migration and the race is endowed with a vast fund of emotional force. This force, Mr. Johnson said, when compressed, harnessed and run through a channel, will give to America the greatest poetry, drama and music of its history. The speaker said that he believed the cause of the war was a struggle between two sets of powers to see which set, would have the right of exploiting the colored peoples of the world. So indirectly, he said, the colored people are at the bottom of the war. He thought the indirect result would be of far greater importance than the direct results. The direct results would be the defeat of the Tetonic power, and the indirect results would be in line with those things the people have greamed of for years—democracy. He told of the great changes taking place in the world at the present time, and to narrow it down, it points to a greater freedom, a fuller democracy for the colored people, as a part of the American people. The speaker said the first great event which directly affected the colored people was the exodus from the South. A great many people had been taken for the war, immigration was cut off and there were none to take the places, and a vacuum in the industrial life of the North was created and since that time his people had constantly been coming North. The people were obeying an economical law. They had better working conditions of the Negro in the South were secured but in the North they were not. Up to this time the men of emancipation had been previous. But the time came for his opportunity to get his hands on this thing and to plant his feet firmly as a rock. The people from the South came up North and can now earn a steady and dependable livelihood. He said the Irish race had come here and became rich and independent, as well as the Greeks and Italians, and he didn't see why the Negro could not do the same thing, like the other people. He said that in taking these large number of people from the South, it had taken the pressure of the race question. He said there is a growing disposition in the South to listen and to grant conditions to the colored people which would have not even been considered live and ten years ago. He said even the Southern press is now speaking out against the outrages on the Negroes as they have never spoken before. If the colored people of the South are wise, they will take advantage of conditions and demand the abolition of lynching, plead for a larger school fund, have the police persecution abolished and sue for a distribution of municipal benefits. The American Negro, said Mr. Johnson, has not done so much before. He registered the first effective protest that has made the South take notice. He had the pioneer spirit. The teacher that are at work we can control them. The exodus to the North has allowed the Negro to carp and enjoy what hundreds of thousands of others are enjoying, and a right to educate their children. With this movement keeping up declared the speaker, soon we will have 500,000, 750,000, a million, 1,500,000. Negro voters casting their ballots where they will be counted when we will have a power that will make municipal governments and the national government up and take notice. The speaker said that there were forces opposed to the Negro and what the national association is trying to do but he said the opposition must be combatted by organized forces. He said the morale of the whole country will be undermined and destroyed should the forces that are working against the association's movement be successful. In conclusion, he said that individual success is no solution of the problem. He said no matter how far or how high an individual colored man may go, that until the laws are made equal there would be no benefit to the race. He said the people right here in New Bedford, where the impression didn't prick, have got to feel it is amouh their problem as the lowest Negro in Mississippi. He told some of the more important things that the national association had accomplished. GLTS' LEGAL POINT Pittsburgh, Pa. March 222—Robert L.

Church last Sunday evening to listen to a special sermon by the pastor, Rev. Julius S. Carroll. PYTHIANS AT PERKINS SQUARE PHILIPHIA A large number of members of local lodges of Knights of Pythias and the Courts of Calanthe, along with the Uniform Rank and the uniformed women of the Order, were present at Perkins Square Baptist Church to attend the annual thanksgiving services last Sunday afternoon. Similar services were held at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church the previous day afternoon. C. H. Stepten, pastor of Allen E. Church, preached a special sermon to the assembled Pythians. That the hand of God is in the present world war and would result in better conditions for all mankind was the view taken by Rev. D. S. Tute, in an address before the Unity Baptist Ministers' Conference last Monday. He cited numerous passages in the Bible and historical prose in effect that the present world conflict was a fulfillment of the Biblical prophecy of the second coming of Jesus Christ. Segregation and race prejudices must go, he contended, in the light of present happenings and the. Negro must be prayerful and continually on the alert. BISHOP LEE PREACHES Bishop W. L. Lee, of Brooklyn, N. Y., filled the pulpit at the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church last Sunday morning and evening, congregations greeting him at each service. This was the first time he had been in Baltimore for thirteen years. The bishop is the biggest prelate in his denomination, being tall and weighing 280 pounds. A. M. E.

Dr. Naylor preached the sermon, Only a few weeks ago, the pastor, choir and congregation of Allen Church visited Sharp Street Memorial Church, Rev. Dr. C. H. Steptan preaching the sermon. A reception was given Rev. R. W. S. Thomas and family of Metropolitan M. E. Church last Monday evening by Mrs. Chara Parker and son, Mr. Thomas H. Campbell at 515 W. Biddle street. Music and addresses were the evening's program, after which forty-one persons were ushered to the dining room and served. Every one present enjoyed the occasion. Rev. Dr. T. L. Thomas, superintendent of the Washington district, Washington M. E. Conference, was in the city Wednesday. He looked better than he has for months, and expressed the belief that he would be entirely well within a few months. Dr. W. Simpson Brooks, his chole and congregation will worship at Bnon Baptist Church, Park avenue and Dolphin street on April 3rd. He will preach to the Tribe of Manassah of which Mrs. Frances Butler is captain. TO SING AT EBENEZER The Perliss Singing Society will assist the choir of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church by furnishing special Easter music all day. They will sing Stainer's "Alpha and Omega," "Lord of our Life," by Nevin, and Kost's "Failehujah Song." The pastor, Rev. Charles E. Stewart, will preach a special sermon. Rev. J. G. Robinson, of Nashville, Tenn., has been conducting revival services at Waters A. M. E. Church this week for the pastor, Rev. A. L. Gaines. Rev. C. E. Bishop, the new pastor of Eastern M. E. Church, was warmly greeted by the congregation Sunday. Rev. Alfred Young preached to a large congregation at John Wesley M. E. Church Sunday.

There has been a growing desire recently that the ministers should again come together. A joint meeting met on Wednesday of last week and agreed upon a tentative plan of coalition. The committee included: Revs. D. G. Mack, W. F. Dickerson, George A. Crawley, G. B. Lockhart, A. B. Callis, W. W. Allen, J. H. Taylor, L. W. Wyatt and L. L. Price. Following an illness of a few weeks, Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson was at Union Baptist Church Sunday. He remained only a short time, however.

Church of which she was a faithful member, Sunday, March 24, 1918. She had been alluring only three weeks and her demise was not expected. She was born in Baltimore City. She was a full member of the church, became a Christian 28 years ago at John Wesley Church under Dr. E. W. S. Peck's administration. He was conducting one of his famous revivals at that time. She became a member of Ebenezer A. M. E. church, after a few years transferred her membership to Bethel A. M. E. Church. She was a consistent Christian, a devoted wife and a faithful companion. She became identified with the various organizations of the church, member of the Home Department, Sunday School, she was also a member of the Cosmopolitan Choral Society, a member of Bethel Choir. She was identified with the Lily of the Valley Court of Catanite, Knights of Pythias. Her last words before death were "Blessed Jesus take me now, I don't want to be impatient, but my suffering is so great, oh, Jesus take me now." And then she fell asleep, and then made many friends who came and dropped a word of consolation during her sickness and also those that showed their appreciation to her at the time of her death and for the beautiful floral tributes coming from her many friends. I cannot find words to express my thanks for their loyalty. I also thank Dr. Hughes for the splendid attention he gave. I take this time to thank the public in general. I also thank the various organizations for the beautiful resolutions, the Cosmopolitan Choral Society, the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias, the Superintendent's Council, the beautiful expressions from her pastor, Dr. Brooks, who she deeply loved, Dr. C. H. Stepthein, Dr. Chus, Dr. Lee, Lee Bold friend of the family. She was happily married to Chas S. Tolson, August 22, 17 years ago by the late Rye, Dr. C. W. Morsell. --- CLARK—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear daughter, Vivian Carpenter Clark, who died one year ago, March 25, 1917. The rose that is dearest and rarest is the one that was baked by the frost that was purest and fairest. Is the one that we have lost. She is blooming in God's garden Among the illies fair; God saw she was too good for earth, So transplanted her up there. In her health she sought the Saviour In illness He was by her side In death. He sent His guarding angel Safely her spirit to heaven to guide. There are many who bear a daughter's name. But few who fill the place Not so with our dear Vivian Oh, how we miss her loving face. Though cast down we were not forsaken Though down we were not alone; Though dill give and thou has taken Blessed Lord. Thy will be done. By her devoted parents: Wm. H. and Nannie T. Carpenter and the rest of the family. HUGHES—In loving remembrance of any dear sister, Josephine Hughes, who accompanied this life three years ago, March 1. The month of March once more is The saddest of all the year Because it took from me My dear sister, three years ago today I can not forget you sister dear I thought long the years I often offer you lonely hours I wipe away the tears Her devoted sister, Laura Rozier, 674 W.

EASTER HOPE AND DUTY Next Sunday is Easter—the Christian Passover and Festival of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This sacred festival is celebrated in every part of Christendom with solemnity and devotion and also with proper sports and observances. At the Eastertide it is customary with many to make presents of one kind or another, expressive of good-will and joy. The fact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ has indeed become the world's hope and assurance. It is the ray of light that has burst through the gloom of doubt. It is the sweet and beautiful response to the soul's inmost yearning and questioning to live again. This it is that causes and gives what we call the Easter hope and joy and impels to the Easter duty. Throughout the Christian world on Easter morn from thousands of Christian churches their bells will proclaim this joy in tuneful chimes with ever recurring sweetness. With the coming of Easter the heart is thrilled with gladness, for it brings the assurance that the time of gloom is past, and that of bud and blossom, of leaf and sprig, of glancing wing and sudden song; of floating cloud and prismatic shower—of beauty and growing—the wondrous time of high vitality in all life has come again. all life has come again. Easter not only brings its Spring thoughts, but it takes us back in thought to the garden where our crucified Lord lay, and we behold his empty tomb—one of the many evidences that He is the victor over death. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is an established fact and is an assurance of immortality and an abiding comfort. Every Easter is a confirmation of the hope born of the resurrected Christ, who proclaimed Himself the resurrection and the life, and assurd all who trust Him that because He lives they shall live also. The glad acclaim which will be heard around the whole earth on Easter day: "He is risen from the dead," will fill the world with the peculiar Easter joy and thrill the heart with the peculiar Easter gladness. Every blade of grass springing fresh from the earth, every swelling bud, tells the story of life after death. He is risen from the dead, let all the earth rejoice. The Easter hope is the hope of immortality beyond the grave—is the hope of meeting again our loved ones gone before. And the Easter duty is as joyous as the hope. It is to carry the tidings everywhere. Go quickly and tell "He is risen; He is risent as He said." The Easter duty is to pass the blessed news on; that the crucified Savior is risen, risen from the dead. He is risen the reigning Redeemer and Lord. COMMENCING AT THE WRONG END. The Evening Sun seems to be very solicitous that there shall be no hard feelings between the two races on account of the recent decision of the Supreme Court in reference to the Segregation act. According to an editorial in its issue of Saturday last, it announces that at its suggestion, Mayor Preston called together a number of white and colored citizens for the purpose of "selecting and appointing a committee to whom should be referred this question, and approach it in a spirit of friendliness, for the purpose of removing misunderstanding, and for the cultivation of kindness and helpfulness." What a pity the Sun did not think of this long ago, when the subject was first broached? Why was it that the Sun, instead of giving all the space possible to the action of the City Council and those most responsible for the segregation act, and the riotous proceedings of the mobs that destroyed the property of colored people, did not suggest that the better way would have been to get the best white and colored citizens together for a purpose of a friendly discussion of the question, and try to reach a common understanding? Now that the Supreme Court of the land has decided the question, the Sun would reopen it and put it up to the colored people to segregate themselves by remaining in unsanitary districts, instead of getting out and living under proper housing conditions, where they can raise their children with something like common decency. The colored people of this city do not regard the "decision of the Supreme Court as a license to overrun the city and to thrust white people to the wall, to trample on their prejudices and to threaten their inerests," as is suggested by the Sun, but they do regard it as their right under the law to live in as acceptable conditions as possible. It is hardly thinkable, that with all this city and the suburbs at their command, that one-fifth of the population could by any possible means thrust the remaining four-fifths to the wall. Especially, as the Sun suggests, "as the colored people are largely in the minority, and who are financially and politically far weaker than the whites." Notwithstanding the seeming friendly advice the Sun would give the colored people, there is beneath it all a veiled threat; that if the suggestion of the Sun and Mayor Preston's committee is not acted upon, the colored people might find themselves antagonizing the white people, who, in turn, would and a way to visit such punishment as they would deem fitting. The colored people of this city have no desire to antagonize the white people in any way—in fact they desire nothing better than to live on the very best terms possible with them. On the other hand, would it not be well for the Sun and all who are in sympathy with it, to recognize that colored people desire for themselves only the rights, privileges and immunities that all other citizens enjoy and are entitled to. Inasmuch as they are citizens and taxpayers, and are recognized as such in the eyes of the law, they are entitled to and shall demand all the protection the law allows and should give. The Supreme Court has condemned segregation, and the colored man or men who would in any manner attempt to abrogate that decision should be considered a traitor to his race and treated as such. There is such a thing as wasting at the spigot while pretending to save at the bunghole. And this is just what parents are doing who keep their children out of school because they can probably earn a fairly good wage now. During present conditions, notwithstanding the high cost of living, there seems to be very little excuse for poverty. Thousands of positions and jobs of all kinds are open to everyone who cares to work, and all at good wages—far beyond what ninety-nine one-hundredths of the people of this country, white or black, have been used to earning. There is absolutely no excuse whatever for anyone to be out of work. For this reason, if for no other, every child should be in school. It cannot be said, because of hard times, the child has to be a wage earner, for this is not true, for there is now more work than workers. Moreover, keeping the child out of school is bad policy both for parents and child. No one knows what will be the conditions after the war. It may be then that everybody will have to work in order to get along. But this is not true now. By keeping in school now, the child will be the better able to earn a living, if the time comes when he will have to go out and do it. Again, it is poor policy, for even if the child is able to earn a little now, he will be able to earn a good deal more when he shall have finished school. It is, therefore, unfair to the child to send him to work now and thereby condemn him to drudgery all his life, instead of giving him the opportunity to prepare for something better in life. By sending him to school you are also giving him a chance to be of greater help and service to you in the days to come, if you should need it. To do otherwise, one is wasting at the spigot while trying to save at the bunghole. UNDERESTIMATING THE OTHER FELLOW. One of the surest ways of getting licked is to underestimate the strength of one's antagonist. We are afraid that the American people—thinking of the vast stretches of this country, its abounding wealth and tremendous resources, its victories in past wars—have greatly underestimated the power and strength of the enemy "over there." If this is true there has been a great mistake made, and the sooner it is corrected the better. America has been a peace-loving country, desiring only to make money, and live in peace to spend it. All such ideas as these must be banished and the people come to realize that we are at war, and such a war as has never been seen or heard of before. If this war is to be won by the Allies every one must not do "their bit," but must do their whole BEST. This is no time for bits, it is time for the greatest effort ever put forth by the American people, and unless it is done, we will pay a far greater price for peace than we ever did for war. It is a matter for gratification that we announce the amount of five hundred dollars for a "Sun Parlor" for convalescents at Camp Meade, has been collected and the order given for the builders to proceed at once with the work. A trifle more than the amount necessary has been collected, and this will go towards the furnishings. This is not the time for discouragement, even tho the enemy should be within striking distance of Paris—bad as that would be. It becomes necessary, however, for Uncle Sam to tighten up his breeches a little more, take a fresh chew, roll up his sleeves a little higher, spit on his hands and sail in for keeps. Commence to put away a few dimqs every day or so for that new Liberty Loan which comes out next month. If we keep on buying Liberty Bonds, we will all become "bloated bondholders." But say, it is a mighty good way to do some saving for a rainy day. Saving Thrift Stamps is a splendid idea. Get the boys and girls to save their pennies in this way instead of spending them for candy, peanuts and the movies. Buy a brick in that Y. M. C. A. Building and stick it in your window. Let folks know you are a real estate owner. In November, 1912, the offer of Mr. Jalius Rosenwald to give $25,000 for a colored Y. M. M. C. building to any building with a $25,000 for a $100,000 building was taken up and an agreement entered upon, between the white, and colored citizens. In which, the former pledged, $50,000, and the latter $25,000—the same to be paid before January 1, 1914. A campaign was inaugurated and subscriptions were secured from 3,400 colored citizens amounting to $31,000. When January 1, 1914 came, the colored citizens had not paid in the amount for which they were pledged in the terms of the agreement, and it was necessary to have the time for the payment extended which was concerned in by Mr. Rosenwald and our white citizens. By earnest and protracted efforts, the colored Association has been able to collect $15,000 of the $31,000 subscribed. With this amount in hand and with the assurance from its committee of management that the balance of $10,000 would be forthcoming, Mr. Rosenwald and our white citizens made available at once the amount of his offer and their pledge. Contracts for the new building were let, and the building is now under construction. We are $10,000 short of the amount required of us by the agreement; and this must be secured us soon as possible if we are to keep faith with Mr. Rosenwald, and our white citizens hero at home.—I am sure that we will have many tasks, could we do what seems to be impossible from past efforts—collect the more than $10,000 dollars of unpaid pledges of our people. Realizing the necessity of in some way ruling at least $10,000 to keep our part of the agreement, we are in the midst of a campaign appealing to our citizens to contribute to at least one dollar to the building, fund, for which we are issuing Brick Card Certificates.

WEEKLY VIEWS AND COMMENTS THE WAR'S WORSE BLIGHT In an interesting article from the pen of Rev. Hugh B. Chapman-Chapplain of the Royal Chapel of the Savoy London, England printed in the Baltimore Sun, of March 24-18 speaking of the effect of the war upon individuals in England, he emphasizes the fact that its worse blight is upon women. Admitting that while the result of the war, thus far, in many instances, has been to lift women up to the heights of heroism heretofore undreamed of, he claims that many others have sunk to the depths. The war is proving he says "a terrible danger to virtue and to that modesty so necessary between sexes if they are not to return to an almost primitive animalism and a carelessness of morals which brings in its train inevitable shame and degradation. While to many women the war has brought the opportunity to display courage, heroism, patience and devotion of the highest kind, and they have seized it with cagerness, and thereby inspired the men who have gone to the front and left them to fill their places, with the highest and noblest aspirations; yet to a number of women it—the war has brought only the opportunity to drag many of these same men down to a loss of self respect and of manhood. The iowness and vileness to which many women resort, as said to be such, that even those who have spent years working in the slums would deem hardly possible. The war seems to furnish these harpies the opportunity they covet, to degrade their own sex, and to ruin many of the men and boys who at great sacrifice have been and are being trained to serve their country and their God—to have called forth the worse that is in these women not only in those, who are "old hands in sin, but in little bits of girls who seem to have lost the veriest instincts of goodness or self restraint." This is true not only in England, but we read that the same story obtains every where that the results of this cruel war are felt and seen. America is not free from the danger of this war blight to its women and girls. One has only to notice the women and girls, who with painted faces, and half exposed bodies and limbs, meet the troop trains from our camps, and parade the streets of our large cities advertising their business and displaying their wares, to feel and to think that American women are greatly exposed to, if not already under this awful blight, and too many of them by far aiding and abetting this giant evil. The most erotic is so crucial in any and every aspect that serious thoughtfulness should be given to every one of conduced on the part of women, who would promote the welfare and increase the efficiency of "our dear soldier boys" and see to it that no guise of endurement on the part of women, girls, or others, be allowed to tempt them from creeal lives consecrated to a righteous cause and a holy purpose. POOR SCHOOL ATTENDANCE Since the reopening of the public schools after the enforced vacation caused by the fuel shortage the attendance of colored children, it is reported, is only about fifty per cent of what the normal attendance was before the said vacation. There may be various reasons for this, but the present poor attendance is due in a large measure to the fact that many pupils, old women, have been allowed to go to school, and parents are considering that their earnings in case of a considerable extent the family resources and are very helpful have not compelled them to return to school. This to some parents may seem a justifiable reason, and yet it is not wise, neither is it profitable to allow even such a reason to interfere with the youths education. Whatever the gain in dollars and cents may now be by permitting the child to continue at work and not return to school—the loss to the child, and perhaps to parents also in the future will be far greater, and almost irreparable. Whatever may be the parents' aims or purposes regarding the child's future work in life—or that of the child itself, the neglect of the good preparation by means of a good elementary curriculum is a positive injury and the lack of such an education will decrease the child's earning capacity in any or every pursuit in. In these times the demand is for trained trustworthy power in all lines of work and duty. Literacy is as great a handicap as ignorance and the effort to overcome the one should be as persistent and great as to remove the other. The parents of our children should at almost any cost and sacrifice allow their children to make use of the present opportunities for securing the training our schools offer. We are responsible to God, to the State, and to the children themselves for their right and proper training, and no excuse we may offer them, for the enrichment which God makes of us regarding all the children he gives to our care and keeping. "Take this child and train it for me." NEW VOLUNTEERS AND DRAFTERS AT CAMP MEAD The new colored volunteers and drafters at Camp Meade who are confined to their quarters because of recent inculcations to prevent disease, and in consequence are deprived for the present of the advantages which the Y. M. C. A. offers in its services, are to be commended for their action in arranging and conducting for themselves a service. This action is not only praise worthy, but evidences the value of the home training they have received, and the benefit of the habit of Sabathia, of religious observance, or service, of young men will find it a source and means of strength and help, of joy and, comfort to love, serve, and trust their mother's God, and to keep an far as conscientit with their position.

PEACE HOVERS OVER THE COLORED BAPTIST OF THE COUNTRY Gratifying news comes from Memphis, Tenn., to the effect that at a meeting of Negro Baptist of the United States of America recently held in that city—a document of agreement was formulated and adopted by the Joint Peace Commission representing the National Baptist Convention, the National Baptist Convention Unincorporated and the Southern Baptist Convention (white). The document prepared by the Joint Commission is said to be highly satisfactory to all the parties concerned, and will no doubt be ratified at the proper time by the conventions affected. This gives cause for thanksgiving and encouragement. The rupture which came in Chicago in 1915 was most unfortunate and be regretted and certainly so long as the separation continued and the harsh feelings growing out of it lasted the best and most effective work or which the great denomination is capable could scarcely be expected, but with peace reigning and unification of aims, purposes and actions brought about, the largest accomplishments are not possible but highly probable. It is to the credit of all the parties concerned as well as matter for praise and gratitude that they found a way to settle their differences and cue to a satisfactory agreement outside of the civil courts. This same spirit of peace and unification seems to be hovering over the two Baptist Ministers' Conferences of this city. Action has been taken by a Joint Committee from these conferences looking to their resulting,—the two conferences being the result of a separation which occurred a few years ago. This union is expected to be consummated at a meeting to be held next Monday at the Union Baptist Church. For this may the Lord be praised. "Echolow how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." A SOUTHERN WHITE CLERGYMAN DE- NOUNCES LYNCHING It is gratifying to know that there is at least one prominent white minister of the. South who has the many courage to denounce in a sermon from his own pulpit lynching, and to declare that those who engage in it are worse than cowards. Rev. James L. Vance, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Nashville, Tenn., recently preached to his congregation a sermon in which he showed the cowardice of mobs, pointing out that they lacked the true spirit of chivalry, regardless of what their pretensions—that they are without bravery or courage—that they are yellow, and are blood thirsty only where there is no danger, and "have out the bravado of a bandit, or the daring of an assassin that they are without reason and wholly given up to hate and the passion for revenge. He pointed out the remedy to be in the speedy trial of offenders—the punishment of mobs. The courageous action of officials—the cooperation of good citizens in cultivating a sentiment against lynching—by speaking of it only in the strongest terms of condemnation—by demanding and seeing that the majesty of the law is upheld and respected. Dr. Vance's sermon which was highly patriotic and emphasized the truly humane sentiment of the guilty in his response for law and his hatred of wrong and crime, is receiving / the commendation of leading Southern papers, and will not be without the happy effect and influencing the many law abiding and self-respecting citizens of the South to such action as will put a stop to these outrages. And the sponer this is brought about the better it will be for all concerned. The savage spirit so frequently exhibited in our country by the merciless hate and barbaric tortures it inflicts must not be tolerated and allowed to be practiced us it has been. The American people must see to it that mob violence here stops, especially from now on, when we are to some extent justifying our participation in the present world war to prevent this self same spirit from ruling the world. FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1918 THAT SEGREGATION CONFERENCE The action of Mayor Preston in selecting five colored citizens to attend a meeting held in his office last week, as representatives of the colored people of this city, to consider the feasibility of keeping the segregation ordinance passed by the City Council and Mayor operative, in spite of the recent decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States and the Court of Appeals of the State of Maryland invalidating the same is only another evidence of what most white people in this country assume, the right to do; namely to select the representatives of an designate the leaders for the colored people, without reference whatever to those for whom the selection is made, or care for the opinion or wishes in the matter. It is the that the white people who are posed to so act be given to understand that the right to appoint and select for us not theirs, and will never be knowledge by us. No more has the right to choose our leaders or appoint our representatives in any case or matter. The choice of race leadership and the selection of race representatives is one that we will never surrender to any man or men be he or they white or black and the selections and appointments so made will have neither our acknowledgment, nor endorsement. What the position taken by these colored gentlemen of the Mayor's selection was, on the scheme proposed and discussed at the meeting "cooperation in maintaining white blocks mixed blocks and colored blocks—in the interest of health, safety and good order of the community," we do not know from any statement which has appeared from them, we would be led to suspect from the account given in the daily papers and from an editorial of the Evening Sun in which the said paper claims to have suggested to His Honor the Mayor the wisdom of holding such a conference, they agreed to cooperate in efforts to secure and so much desired by the segregationist, and allowed them to be appointed on a committee for that purpose. We can, accordingly conceive of these five colored citizens doing any such unseeless thing and have been and are expecting from them some statement as to what was and by their position. It is no easy task to represent a people when selected by them to do so. What will it be to even attempt to do so at the suggestion and appointment of those who assume a right that is not theirs, and whose interest in our highest welfare is questionable? E. W. Bundy, exalted ruler of the strongest Elk's lodge in Washington, D. C. is opposed to the calling off of the annual session of the Grand Lodge of Elks this year, says the Washington Bee in its last issue. Grand Exalted Ruler Armand W. Scott is said to agree with his view. The session is scheduled to be held in Baltimore next August and Monumental Lodge is in the midst of big preparations for the entertainment of the visiting Elks. According to the Bee, George W. F. McMechen, of Baltimore, the present grand attorney of the Order, was promised the support of Grand Exalted Ruler Scott last year for the position now held by the latter. Mr. Bundy, it is stated, will support City Councilman Thomas W. Fleming for the position. It is evident, therefore, that there will be a big light for the grand exalted rulership. MISS MARIE BUNDY 1144 In a private room in a Washington hospital lies Miss Mario Bundy or "Angel of Mercy" critically ill of a nervous breakdown. Only conscious at times, yet even in delirium she murmurs, "I am not sure what happened.

For others who do not know the truth and are suffering as I suffered, I wish to state that about two years I had a terrible cough, weakness and loss of flesh. Our own physician Dr. Mace attended me for some time, and said I had tuberculosis. I was sent to the Johns Hopkins, and they worked on me for some time and wanted me to go to Bayview, but as I got worse all the time, I said it was best to die at my own home as anywhere else. I went down until I weighed only 95 lbs. Someone told me to try Dr. Campbell; the Lung Specialist, 1369 N. Carey street, Baltimore, Md., as he was the best out on lungs. I went to him in company with my sister, weighing less than 96 lbs. He examined me and told me the truth. He put me on the Lung Base Treatment; and I started to change for the better immediately. Thank God am living, and on November 17, 1917, I weighed and tip the scale at 148 lbs. No one will believe now that I ever was sick in my life. I know several others Dr. Campbell cured of the same trouble, and these who are suffering with the same trouble should know where they can best be helped. MRS. LETRIA L. SMITH Back River, Rosville P.

Albany, Georgia AGENTS SHINED - Write for us THE AFRO-AMERICAN DO ANGEL SPIRITS GUIDE AND HELP US? Sir William Ershaw Cooper - the famous scientist says they do, here is what he says "the man who denies 'spiritualism' or the part of the spiritual body is capable of playing in our nature, living, daily life because it remains useless and is so far as he knows, imponderable, intangible, and unfree is in the position of his skeptical prototype who a hundred years ago, derided the power of steam because its potentialities were blinded and developed. Steam is a mighty power today. What is wanted here, is a broad open mind that is prepared to recognize the truth. The last century has revealed so many marvels, discoveries and inventions and has strewn the world with many strange and wondrous devices, along has come to the foremost the spiritual unfoldment. As a master of fact, the scriptures seem with spiritual manifestations as to leave no doubt of communications between spirits and living people on earth. Scientists found the Egypt Assyri, Babylon, Peshawar and other countries, experienced spiritual manifestations through their prophets, seers and wise men. Not ignoring Easter countries where those professing the Occult science are very numerous, the reason that Eastern people have never lost touch with the spiritual science and are therefore, perhaps, more highly spiritually than before in Western States. It is I find computed that considerably over twenty million of men and women in the civilized world are spiritualists. Many of them have wonderful charisective powers and constantly communicate with angels and spirits who have passed to the beautiful life above the grave. In England, such names as Alfred Russel Wallace, Sir William Crooks, M. A. Osson, Des Hodgson Myers, Gurgey, Silgwick Sir Oliver Lodge, and many others illustrations in the annals of modern times testify to the truth of spiritual science. France sends a powerful contingent in such men as Dr. Paul Gibber, Allen Kardes, Charles Richet, Col. DeRochees, Victorien Sardow, Theophile Gaudier, Victor Huro, Candie Flammarion, and many other famous people having investigated spiritualism generously give their testimony to the truth. In the United States, Belgium, Switzerland, Romania, and other countries have not fallen behind in their testimony; for we did conient names inscribed on the roll of spiritualism too numerous to mention in this short article. There are millions of people who profess their faith in spiritualism, they implicitly believe in this wonder-compelling, energy-moving, animating vitalizing force; and this secret power they worship is the SPIRIT OF GOD.

PALMERS SKIN SUCCESS Soap Brooklyn, N. Y. WHAT'S THE USE? A STORY By Margaret Black. "Other folks do it, and I can't for the life of me see why we can't. Now there never was any one woman so contrary as Sophia. I simply can't supply the things they wished for, so as well by fixing herself in that way. Stand it any longer, as the harder I work the less I have." Adan Hicks ruminated as he was plowing the twenty acre field of farmer Downey's; as he got to the end of the plow, he put the plow handle and sat down under an old spruce tree to rest a few minutes. Bowing his black face on his hands, which were grunted and rough, he said, "what's the use of no trying to save? I've got so far and I swear I can't get no farther. When Tim McCoy joins and his wife he just took his wife and family and moved away from here. His people said he never would do any good up north, but I notice they had to go to work when they would do no good away from here. Jack Hicks was home on a visit last month and he said that Tim was getting along fine. And "Tim with a farm I know that I could do the same, as Sophia would do a lot better if she was away from these folks who are continually borrowing and never able to help your folks along even though you know they are imposing upon you. Well its just this if Tim can get along I know that I can and I'm going to help Sophia or no Sophia." Over the hill, sitting in a swing under a big cherry tree, behind the house, she watched the children in the middle of a fifteen northe of land bought by Adam just five years before, contrary Sophin, his wife, was sitting in the garden, her dress. When Adam was sitting dinner at noon he had brushed the subject of moving away from Dalton to her, and then she had signaled that sign a deed to their place and go up North or out West away from all her people, where she didn't know a living soul. Suppose she got sick, But whether relations were near or far away did not trouble Adam. To get away from the place and the life was objected to. He wanted to go where he could be a man and his children could get good schooling and live like human beings. He wanted to get out in the world and be an equal chance, and he at least could call his soul his own. What was he here for? Everybody called him "Old Adam" and the white folks called him anything but a man, and he was wrong. He could not come under the draft, but not too old to cast as, he had threatened to do. to try to scare Charles into condescension, he thought he would and didn't bother her head about it; she seemed to know that he would not go away and leave her with all the children to get along the best. Adam was six years old his father died, and when he was nine his mother married Charles Spencer, an ex-soldier, and in the ten years that followed Adam was six years old little Spencers to call him brother. If having a step-father was no fun, as Adam soon found out. He stood it until he was twelve, and being tired of scoldings and cullings and inlending babies and every body's little slave he decided to run away, and went to work for farmer Fergus for his keep and his schooling. He had wanted to go to school above everything else, and decided to stay no place where he could not attend school the short four months it was in session. Farmer Fergus was a good master and allowed him to attend school every day, just so he did his work he didn't mind. Being a very bright pupil and especially anxious to learn, his teacher was very proud of him and helped him by every means in his power, he easily out-stripped all the other pupils, but like a good many other boys when they reach the age or seventeen, he thought more of a certain girl in the school than he did of his books, and one day they ran away and was married. Sophia Barnes was just sixteen and the competition between Adam and her at school had been over. She had been the best she loved Adam because as she put it, "He was wonderfully smart, and he had promised her a nice home as soon as he could save enough money." Adam was a boy who always kept his promises. They had no trouble getting married, because Adam was large for his age and he did not attention to the colored folks getting married anyway. When his mother heard he was married she opened the door and was told he would be a clever decker for issuing the license and to poor Kevin Ellas Cook for murmuring them. She knew of that Sophia Barnes and she was the best she loved him his stepfather was volubly disheartened. "Poor fool and Sophia won't never have anything she predicted, nothin' but a houseful of young ones, and mind they will all end up in the poor he seems as though his step-father's decision was true in one instance anyway, because Adam and children did not marry, and Adam and Adam's proud father of six boys and one girl, he did amount to something as his home testified for itself. Contrary to all expectations he took care of his children and children no odds of anyone. Adam proved himself a fine business man, and in ten years he had saved his family. Adam was quite happy until his younger brothers and sisters, not excepting Sophia's relatives, began to appoint to prosperous brother Adam for material success. When his sister Alice decided she wanted to go North to act as lady's maid, Adam furnished the money for ladies' dressing and hair dressing and was real hardy with a needle, and seeing an advertisement in a local newspaper for lady's maid, wrote for the job and Adam was doing well at home but with all she made she never saved a cent, and whenever she wanted extra money expected Adam to furnish it without having to him to a few months after. going North she was taken sick and it was Adam who furnished the money to bring her back home and pay the doc. It was money, money, money for the whole family, and matters came to the pass when he and Edward, his wife, sold in a road of that or fifteen corn or other produce from the farm, they did not know when they would be called upon to yield up their price Young's Hair Food and wanted to be always dressed in the best of style, and his mother's dress was a little more formal, to supply the things they wished for, so his mother demanded that he help. Poor patient good-natured Adam was attuned to be able openly, and he was able to supply the things of his hard earned money for finery for a dance in town for his two younger sisters, he resolved it should be the last of his money that should be spent in that town. "Adam," said Sophia, "let's you and I go to that dance in town. The girls are going to have a good time, I would like to go as it has been a long time since I have been to a big dance like this is after the children and baby is old enough for me to leave alone for a few hours. I don't need anything now as I am not going to dance but to look at the children and baby is old too complicated for me to attempt and I am satisfied to see the young folks enjoy themselves. Edward does not want to be home and read that new book he bought on agriculture. That boy is a regular old shoe. Give him a book and supply him, for all we need like his father." Adam had no desire to go to that especial dance, as he had seen his sisters practicing some of the techniques that don't approve of them and told them so. "Oh, you are a regular old foggy" they had told him, "really too old for you." Adam wanted to go and he had no excuse to offer without disappointing her, he said nothing at all, but went to the dance, and wished himself at home all On their return from the dance he breached the selling out subject again, are not making any money, are still selling things are picking up and they need farmers I feel that we could all do better someone else. Somewhere, anywhere, have you been to a school and you have always been such a help to me Sophia, that I can not see why you are so determined to stay here when you know you are going to be there but seem to be standing still. You know that Edward wants to go away to college to take a course in agronomy and finish high school so she can go away to school, and they will never be able to do anything but work in some one else's kitchen so not sure what to get out of this. Will you sign the deeds Sophia and let old man Brown have this place? He will sign the deeds for that it is meant for the boy he says he wants the place for a big hotel for tourists." "If you are so anxious to go West, last go ahead," was her reply, but you will go along. We are getting along alright here and I don't intend to go trapping all over the country for you or any other man. The children can come and go, but don't see what you are always harping about moving away from the South for. Here I am and here I am going to stay, for someone to come anyway, and don't say anything more about it." When Sophia awoke early the next morning, Adam's place beside her was empty. He gave that about it only to me, and I didn't see there that he had gone to the stable to feed his mules and horses so as to get an early start. She got up and went down stairs to get the breakfast reach. When it was ready she called to tell her father to come to breakfast. Allie was her father's idol and as she raced along, swinging her sunbonnet in her hand, she was like a cat, and she ousted her oldest brother Edward feeding the chickens. "Where's Daddy, El," she called? "I don't know," he replied. I "I don't know," he was morning. I that he was still in bed." "Well he isn't, she answered, 'Did you ever know Daddy to be in bed at seven o'clock in the morning. What reason?' "Perhaps he wont over to Kellar's to see about some plowing he wanted done. If the weather keeps open like a window, he'll be out a lot of spring plowing for other folks. "Oh. I don't care about the old plowing, I guess I go over and see if he will. Well you must be hard up for a walk, said Edward, 'Why don't you go to the house and telephone over?' "Because, she answered, 'I want to talk with him; I've got something to ask him and something to tell him why that I don't want any one to hear but him. But it is a new outfit for Easter or a trip to town.' laughed Edward. "And I bet you it is neither, she called back, as she ran off. He was not at Kellar's nor had he been there, so she had to come back and tell her mother that she could not go." "Oh, wouldn't worry," said Edward "Dad knows the way home and I guess he went to Farner Downey's and that's a waggy way off. He'll be at him. Let us have breakfast, as I am hungry." "But your father has never gone any place before this without telling me where he was going, and I think it was like this, without saying anything like this, without saying anything about it. Perlms he went to town. Is his 'motorsycle' in the barn Edward?" "Yes mother it is there" answered Tom, the next oldest boy, "I saw it when I went for corn for the hogs." "Well, I guess he will be home for dinner," said Sophia. But things seemed to work better for him. I told them Sophia could do, she could help but, think how queer that Adam should leave without "telling her where he was going." "I know what I'll do," she said "I'll go Adam a good sipper and then I'll go Adam a good sipper and then that white pique color and cuff set I've just finished embroidering, and plait my hair and let it hang down my neck with a big pin bow and a tie that white pique color and cuff set as the children," that Sophia as she cleaned away the dinner dishes. She smiled to herself as she looked in the glass. Sophia knew that she could please not only Adam but the children as well by fixing herself in that way. Sophia was a pretty woman in spite of her eighteen years of married life. And with her pretty brown color, rosy cheeks big black eyes and a wealth of woman's crowning glory, that fell in a heavy mass to her waist, she was a wife any man could be proud of, even though she refused to leave the South. And she was the woman that Adam still loved in spite of her decision not to go anywhere with him, but Dalton. Though Sophia was looking her very best, "Fretty as a picture the children told her," and had a lovely supper, no Adam was there to enjoy the supper or to tell her how nice he thought she looked. When nine o'clock had struck, and Mr. Kellar and Farmer Downey and Mr. Brown answered Sophia's telephone message to the effect that Adam had not been there or been by any one of them, Sophia became frantic. Everywhere she sent or telephoned no one had seen Adam. As the days passed and Adam did not return, people concluded he must have fallen in the creek and been drowned. Sophia, for once in her life, missed her husband did not know what to do and was nearly crazy. To the wonder of Sophia, who worried and mourned him as dead, Edward and his father better than any of the other children, seemed unnaturally calm and callous. Edward went quietly about his wife pleasing and looking after the stock, and Alie even went so far as to sing over her work, and appeared always bright and happy. Alie then on and do things just like Daddy wanted us to do them," said Alie, and Edward to their mother. "Crying and worrying will not bring him back, so what's the point?" said Sophia. About three weeks after Adam disappeared, Sophia commenced to miss things. Every day it was something missing. Some one stole two of the largest hams, then her week's churning was missing; eggs disappeared from the barn by the dozens; flour from the barrel and the corn meat discovered that three of the largest hams was missing out of the smoke house. "she wailed" this would not have happened if your father had been home." Sophin, was a good housekeeper, and though she knew her folks as well as Adam's were continually borrowed, and though she usually had enough to get what she wanted even though they could not save anything, and she never bothered to get anything, but Adam was not there to look after things, and Sophia was a poor business manager, the inevitable result being she never had money enough on hand to buy anything, and the necessities. Then there was the worry of not knowing whether Adam was dead or alive, and hearing people say what more could she expect of such a man. Adam had been gone, three months and Sophia "had ceased to weep, but her grief found expression in words." "I ought to have consented to go with him," Sophia said, "but to go" she hamented. "I if I had known this would happen I would have let him sell, I am sorry that I was so foolish as to oppose him. Dear Lord if I was consented to sign that deed, why didn't I?" "if I dadmy was well and would come back home would you be willing to sign a deed and let him sell out and go to Kansas like he wanted you to do?" Edward asked her eager- “If he would come to me alive and well, I’d go the minute he said the word. I’d go anywhere he wanted me to go, and sign fifty deeds fifty times over, if it was necessary and I wouldn’t care if it was the North pole he wanted to go to,” said their mother. After supper Edward and Allie stole out to the barn together to have a little talk that they did not want any one to hear. “Do you think it safe?” asked Alfie. “You know how excitable mother is, and I’m afraid Grandma Spencer will persuade her to change her mind.” “Never mind grandma. I’ll see to it that ma does not change, there’ll be no changing minds in this business. You write that letter and I’ll attend to the rest. Be sure it’s ready to go in the morning. I’ll run into town first thing in the morning and mall it before any one is up.” If Sophia had been awake at four o’clock the next morning she would have wondered what was up between Ed and Alfie. But no one around knew of that little trip to town. But ten days later the result of that morning trip was a telegram to Mrs. Sophia Hicks, “Will be home in a few days. Get yourself together and pack your trunks.” “Adam Hicks.” The telegram was so... unexpected that Sophia fainted, something she had never done before in all her life. When she came to herself she never thot to FREE STYLE & BOOK HAIR To Colored Women in the manufactures of Colored Women's clothing, the book showing new styles in hair and fashions.

Adam came home and Sophia was so glad to see him that she cared little where he had been. When she did commence to ask questions Adam kept her mind off of his sudden ance by telling him he expected that when a surprise he had in store for her if she would only wait a few days. In Dalton it was a nine days wonder the return of Adam, and more so because one could see Sophia was talked about and snubbed on every occasion, because everybody that she knew all the time where Adam had been, but now he was not there, and as little of his disappearance as they did, and that was nothing at all. "Where are we going Adam," asked Sophia, "will tell you later, Just go and get ready to go to town as Mr. Brown says he'll meet us in town this morning at ten o'clock, and I can hardly imagine tomorrow. Tomorrow we'll be ready for the sale. I will be glad when it is all over. Our week's hurry and bustle and confusion they left the South behind for ventures new. What few questions that Sophia had asked not been answered, but now she wanted to ask all kinds of questions, and she wanted to know what the place looked like that they were going to call home. "Never mind said Adam just have a little time to relax and right. I want to surprise you and I do not want to spoil it by telling you anything about it before hand. If things were to change, I would choose another place." When they reached the small town of Stewartville, they found a couple of teams. It was late in the afternoon when they reached the big, white farm house behind the poplars, which was decorated a pleasant home from the outside, and when Sophia saw the inside she was as proud she could be. A farmhouse all the modern conveniences was new to Sophia, but she rose to the occasion, and she asked, "No," he said, but it will be ours if you say so. I have nearly enough to pay for it. There is one hundred dollars, and I leased it for a year, with the option of buying if you like it." "But will we be able to buy the house, so she asked. No, little lady, it is already ours," he replied. "But how Adam, is it ours, when did you buy it?" Well, I see. I must tell you all about it." We were told we always my chums. They were told to leave Dalton, and when they found you would not consent to sell and come West. they planned they were to know where I was to go or when I was goering. they wrote them under an assumed name, and let them know how I succeeded. They agreed to do the best they could until I had found a place to settle. then I found how things were going and after I found a place everything depended on Skin Cream was 270 percent greater January 19th than January, 1017.
