Furlong Tract Assemblyman Attempts To Pass ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 29 Furlong Discriminating Me Legislative Se Block VARDAMAN AND BEN TILL- MAN OUTDONE Bert Farmer of Seventy-Third Assembly District, Which Includes Furlong Tract, Insults the Race by Introducing a Resolution to Reduce the Colored Assistant Sergeant at Arms to a Member of the Whisk-Broom Brigade. (Special) Sacramento, Cal., Jan. 19, 1916. The first part of the bi-furcated Forty-Second Legislature has adjourned. It lasted but three weeks and during that time accomplished some great work by the introduction of bills and constitutional amendments which indicate that progressivism has come in California to stay. Every evidence of reaction was set down on with a dull sickening thud. Occasionally one of the "old guard" would arise both in the Senate and Assembly to assert the deep rancor of the fellow who knows at the start "that he just has to be good," and after the emission of a little hot air subside into a state of innocuous desutude. But theeer are some fellows who will not sensibly subside, they have to be squashed, and Assemblyman Bert. Farmer of the 73rd District is one of this kind. Like Governor Vardaman and Ben Tillman, Southern fire-eaters, felt the lustre of their political crowns was growing dim, they would invariably burst out with tirades against the unfortunate Negro. They would appeal to race-prejudice and thereby regain their lost popularity. But that was down South, and not in any civilized community. Bert Farmer spurred on by the embryo statesman, Al Bartlett, who when he arises to speak has a characteristic tremor in his voice, because he is not sure, saw an opportunity to slam the single Negro representative in the Assembly's attaches, arose in the Assembly and introduced a resolution to reduce Mr. J. B. Bass, Sergeant at Arms assigned to do police duty in the coat room, to a mere attendant with a whiskbroom. This reduction process was largely prompted because the Assistant Sergeant at Arms was the Editor of The California Eagle a Race newspaper that stands for the policies of Governor Johnson's administration, and will be found advocating Governor Stephens, who will accept loyally the same policies, and carry them out. From inside information received Farmer was only the stalking horse, and another Assemblyman, Bartlett, the instigator of this effort to humiliate the Race. Knowing that the present State Administration would be held responsible for the action of the forty-third session, it was the scheme to give it a "color-line" feature, hence Mr. Farmer, young and unripe in legislation, was chosen to do the 'dark act.' Farmer forgot that the Black phalanx of his district has practically elected him, and could leave him at the post when he would run again. Now this is great news for the loyal Furlong tract settlement of Colored voters, instead of reading some great oratorical effort of which they in common with his other constituents would feel justly proud, the best they get is this measely resolution to reduce an Assistant Sergeant at Arms, simply because it was believed it could be done without protest, on the score of the intended victim. But Farmer, Bartlett and their corporal guard reckoned without their host, for Assemblyman Frank H. Mouser, with the Ad-ministration forces behind him, whose appointment Editor J. B. The Tract A measure at First session, But is asked. Bass was, arose on the floor of the Assembly and made "re-actionaries" look like two-cent pieces. One of the daily papers of Sacramento in reporting the incident had the following to say: Colored Attachle Object of a Row Refuses to Brush Coats A resolution asking that "the cloak room attendant be furnished with a whisk broom" drew a laugh in the Assembly when it was introduced Thursday, but later it brought on a hot argument between Assemblyman Mouser and Chairman Smith of the committee on attaches. The attendant is J. B. Bass, Colored, editor of The California Eagle, a Colored publication, and a college graduate. Mouser brought Bass from Los Angeles and had him put on the job as Assistant Sergeant at Arms. But there were enough assistant sergeants, so Bass was shifted to the cloak room at the same salary. Bass declined to brush off members of the Assembly, and the resolution followed. Mouser defends Bass, saying he has a better education than three-fourths of the Assemblymen and could make as good a speech as any of them. "In agreeing to have him shifted to the cloak room," says Mouser, "I didn't expect him to act in the capacity of a servant and 'dust off' the assemblymen. I only expected him to see that no hats or coats were stolen." The result was that Mr. Bass was re-assigned, this time to a position of an Assistant Sergeant at Arms much to his liking, and an honor of the Race he so well represents. It is a great source of pride to all men who believe in fair play to note the Assemblyman Frank H. Mouser again goes to the bat fearlessly for what he believes to be right, and that he is unalterably opposed to unnecessarily humiliating a Race because of its Color. WHERE CREDIT IS DUE No man more than Hon. Alexander McCabe, Official Private Secretary to the Governor, has contributed to the six years successful administratioin of the governmental affairs of the State of California, than he. Governor Stephens will find when he qualifies as Governor of the State a thorough and efficient body of men who all in their way have helped place the State of California in the forefront. It goes without saying that had it not been for the rare efficiency of the personnel of the present administration the six years of Governor Johnson would not have attained its high place in the estimation of all the people of the United States who believe in humane government and the unenabling reign of the people. And it is here where Mr. McCabe figures to an eminent degree. It has been accepted as an uncontrovertible fact, that Mr. McCabe has been the Governor's closest adviser not only in all matters of appointment, but his rare ability as a political organizer, his intimate knowledge of men and their records and their known limitations has made him indispensable to any manner of success. Mr. McCabe is nearly as popular in Southern California as he is north, and this is owing largely to the fact that he is at all times affable, reasonable and unprejudiced. It is largely through these qualities he has built up in this state, "a machine," if you please to call it that, that is simply invincible. Governor Stephens is to be congratulated that he will take on the reins of government, finding already-erected the safeguards of the best government California ever had. And in this Mr. McCabe had been the veriest Warwick. ```markdown ``` California Eagle San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, JANUARY 27, 1917 AT THE STATE'S CAPITAL OUR WEEKLY LETTER Sacramento Citizens Your staff writer had the privilege of visiting the local Odd Fellows lodge and found it a wide awake, and businesslike institution which is really doing something. The officers and members vie with each other to keep it up to the highest possible standard, with a treasury of more than $3,000.00 and the funds safely invested. eW said, "Good for Sacramento." Saint Andrews Chapel We visited St. Andrews chapel A. M. E. church, found Rev. A. T. Harvey, formerly of San Diego, as its pastor and while he has been here only four months, he is contemplating many improvements and a very successful year. The Reverend is a wide awake and very capable divine, and no doubt will render to this community a signal service. Business Men We called on our old friend, Taylor Walker, who is a living demonstration of the old saying, "Sticktoitiveness." For generations Mr. Walker has stuck to the job of shining shoes and conducting one of the leading tonsorial parlors of the city, and has made good with a vengeance. We visited his beautiful home, which is within a stone's throw of the State Capitol building, and for finish and completeness in its appointments it cannot be excelled. From cellar to garret everything is complete, even to the most minute deail. The home is presided over by his charming wife, who is a worthy aide to her thirty and hustling husband. Mr. F. J. Butler also conducts one of the leading tonsorial parlars of the city, and has a clientage of the most popular citizenry of the State Capital. The shop is modern in every respect and a high credit to any city. Mr. Butler himself holds a very responsible position with the State government to the credit of himself and the Race. He is a prominent member, and for many years the treasurer of Sacramento lodge of Odd Fellows. R. J. Fletcher conducts a chiropodist parlor on one of the main streets of the city and has a high class patronage. The famous Hahn Jubilee Singers will play here Feb. 9, under the auspices of the A. M. E. church and will appear in the hall of the far-famed Tuesday Club. This will be a great occasion and one long to be remembered. The members and most of the attaches of the Legislature will leave Saturday for their respective homes to return for the long session on Feb. 26. Ben Cohen, well known in Los Angeles business and political circles, is serving as a committee clerk. Assemblyman Harry Lyons is credited with his appointment. GREATEST PLAYERS HAVE BEEN DENIED MAJOR LEAGUE UNIFORMS Some of the greatest ball players the world has ever produced have never worn major league uniforms, though it was their life ambition. This statement seems rather peculiar, but the explanation is simple enough. The color line is never violated in organized baseball. It is a very distinct demarcation. They say there is a little letter carrier in Los Angeles who played third base for two seasons with Rube Foster's Colored Giants and later with the Cuban All-Stars, that McGraw once saw perform. The famous "Muggsy" told friends that he would have given $50,000 if the boy had been born white instead of black. The Colored man's name is Will Lane. He played third base on the same high school team for which Zeb Terry was the shortstop. Chet Bost, an Oakland lad; has also cause to complain against an unkind fate, for Chet was two years with the Chicago Colored Stars, and could hold down a high-salaried job right now if it was permissible. Del Howard, Oakland boss, musing over the subject the other day, recalled some wondful Colored athletes against whom he has played on Chicago diamonds during practice games. "Some of them," said Del, "were never equalled by any major leaguer." McGraw once tried to slip into the Baltimore line-up a second baseman named Grant, claiming that he was an Indian, but the players knew otherwise and they struck. Grant was given his release.—Oakland Tribune. Baptists Open Old Folks Home For a goodly number of years the Baptists of California, but especially Southern California, have labored ardently to erect a home for the aged and infirm members of the race. Slowly, but step by step, have they moved on until at last the California Eagle, the oldest Negro journal of the Pacific Coast, that has kept vigilant watch over this worthy undertaking is pleased to announce to the world that the Negro Baptists of California have completed a ten room all modern home with all conveniences that goes there with except the furniture for the rooms. The Board, consisting of Dr. J. M. Riddle, Mrs. S. B. Strickland, Mrs. I. H. Ford, Mr. S. P. Johnson, Mrs. M. J. Davis and Atty. Afue McDowell figure that the cost of furniture for the entire building will not exceed $1,000, and further announce that any person wishing to assist with this last end of the work may do so by communicating with either of these officers. DISMISSED OFFICER SUES POLICE BOARD William E. Spencer, a Colored police officer who was dismissed from the police force several weeks ago by Chief Butler, filed suit in the Superior Court to secure his reinstatement. Petition is made for a writ of mandate, directed against Mayor Woodman, Parley M. Johnson and Frank Owen, members of the Police Commission, and Chief Butler. It is charged that Spencer was not served with a copy of a written statement and that there was no written accusation filed in his case. The dismissal of Spencer, according to Chief Butler, was because suspicion was directed toward the officer in the raiding of a Chinese lottery joint in San Diego. Spencer claims that he was guilty of any offense. LOS ANGELES MUSIC LOV ERS THRILLED The Hahn Jubilee Singers at the People's Auditorium last Monday evening up to date is the season's eventful affair. The great hall was filled to an overflow, and each number was madly applauded, but when Mme. Florence Cole Talbot came forth, so thrilled was the audience with her magnificent propensities varied with her melodied sweetness as a lyric soprano that they whispered "not half was told by the papers." Mme. Talbot after five years study at Oberlin, Chicago and other Eastern centers, comes back to her home town and is loudly proclaimed the queen of song. Sojourner Truth Club women came in for much praise for presenting to the public this treat. LITTLE BOY BLUE BOUGHT FOR $2400 Chicago, January 20.—It was announced at the close of the allied bazar tonight that the manuscript of Eugene Fields' poem, "Little Boy Blue," brought $2400. It went to John McCormack, the Capt. F. H. Crumbly on Death of Islum Lewis. Our brother, Isham Lewis, was born in the city of Atlanta, Fulton county, Georgia, on the 3rd day of July, 1851, and was approaching his 66th anniversary at the time of his death. In his Southern home he was distinguished as a man who lived an upright exemplary life as a Christian citizen, contributing his guota for good to the life of the people with whom he was intimately identified as an earnest colaborer of every movement having for its aim the advancement of his neighbor, society and the Race. That he might fit himself for a useful life he became a student at the night school conducted by the teachers of the American Missionary Society, who came south in that early period following the close of the Civil War. He applied himself constantly to satisfy his thirst for wisdom and finally become a student at the Atlanta University in which institution he prosecuted his studies as long as circumstances would allow. in our knowledge, for next to God and his family he loved Masonry and he was never happier at any time than he was when in a lodge of justly constitute Free Masons listening to or giving lectures or imparting wisdom to his less informed brethren, to whom he was a living encyclopedia, whose conceptions of the lesser and greater lights of that most ancient order was acknowledged to be equal to any and superior to most men. Advancing through the Royal Areh Chapter, the Commandery, he became the Illustrious Commander for the past three years of Egyptian Temple No. 5, Mystic Shrine or 33rd degree Masonry. He had been a member of B. F. Tolbert Lodge of this city since its organization and was one of its Worshipful Masters. The members of that lodge testify to his extraordinary ability, soundness of judgment and knowledge of Ancient Craft Masonry. That most ancient department of Mystic Shrine as well as the Blue Lodge all appreciate About 1878 he was married to Miss Fannie Wood, the esteemed daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wood, with whom he lived faithfully until her recent death, and from that marriage he is survived by two sons and three daughters. Leaving Atlanta about 26 years ago enroute to this city, his beloved mother, Mrs. Charity Lewis, declined to separate from her old home, of which she was a pioneer, where there were so many associations of a life time near and dear to her in her old age, and where she was well and favorably respected and loved by all the people. With all she was an exemplary character, especially known for Christian integrity and her ever increasing devotion to Big Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Her charity for the needy, the splendid sons and daughters she had nurtured into manhood and womanhood under the fear of God gave to her a distinctive place in the hearts of the people. Although many thousand miles away from that mother the subject of this sketch was faithful to her in her old age and in her declining days and comforted her to the end. He was a Christian, having been one of that little band who met weekly in the old school house for prayer and it was here that he was converted to Christ more than 20 years before coming to this city. This little band of believers soon set about to erect, consecrate and dedicate a house of worship to the God of their salvation and in a few years through the aid of philanthropy they built the First Congregational church of that city. Throughout all this evolution the service of our deceased brother was a potent factor. He served the church in many important positions, being trustee for a long number of years, and at the time of his death was an influential member and officer of the Lincoln Memorial Congregational church of this city. In the month of December, 1882, he was made a Master Mason in Rising Sun Lodge No. 26, Free & Accepted Masons of the jurisdiction of Georgia. He was a charter member and was its third Past Master. During his administration he conferred degrees upon men who in later years became beacon lights in Masonry, presidents of institutions of learning for higher education of the Race, members of state legislative bodies, ministers of the Gospel and prominent churchmen who in no few instances ascribe much of their accomplishments to the tenets and purposes of that most ancient order. He was a devoted Mason, always charmed with its precepts and examples and was representative of its principles for more than 35 years. He lived the life of a true Mason, devoting more time in searching its storehouse of knowledge through and through than most any man with THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 50 in our knowledge, for next to God and his family he loved Masonry and he was never happier at any time than he was when in a lodge of justly constitute Free Masons listening to or giving lectures or imparting wisdom to his less informed brethren, to whom he was a living encyclopedia, whose conceptions of the lesser and greater lights of that most ancient order was, asknowledged to be equal to any and superior to most men. Advancing through the Royal Arch Chapter, the Commandery, he became the Illustrious Commander for the past three years of Egyptian Temple No. 5, Mystic Shrine or 33rd degree Masonry. He had been a member of B. F. Tolbert Lodge of this city since its organization and was one of its Worshipful Masters. The members of that lodge testify to his extraordinary ability, soundness of judgment and knowledge of Ancient Craft Masonry. That most ancient department of Mystic Shrine as well as the Blue Lodge all appreciate the great loss that has been sustained by the death of this most honorable Mason, and with all of his extraordinary ability and the high esteem in which he was held by the brethren. He was not puffed up, but one of the most modest of men, never intruding himself upon the society of any one or demonstrating in an unseeming way or manner his superior knowledge of Masonry, modest and quiet as a churchman, husband, father and citizen. His chief aim in whatever he laid his hand to was simple honesty of purpose, his charity included all mankind and covered the globe. Upon the record of Masonic annals in another section of this country there is chronicled events that tell far greater than any words from our puny lips what he has done for mankind, more especially for a brother Mason. There live today persons in far off Europe enjoying life and liberty who remember what he did for them. He regarded Masonry a universal fellowship that knew no distinctions among men but those of worth and merit, that it was founded upon the equality of man in his inherent and inalienable rights, that its greatest aim was the amelioration in all things of the individual, the family, the neighborhood, the state, the nation and the race of mankind, always reverencing and utilizing the influences of the past upon the living present and ever striving for a more glorious future, welcoming the co-operation of all who love their fellowman, that the order was a grand superstructure erected as the cosmic temple of humanity, that man, the rough ashler, was symbolically taken from the quarry of life—hewn, squared, polished, and made fit for his place in the living temple whose chief foundation stones are truth and right, and whose main pillars as wisdom, strength and beauty, and whose adornments are all virtues the keystone of whose world o'er spanning arch is brotherhood and whose Master Builder is the Great Architect of the Universe, that it inculcated all the mutual duties and obligations of man to man in all the relations of life, of the ruler and the ruled, of the master and the servant, of the employer and the employed, the high and the lowly, the rich and the poor, the learned and the unlearned, the teacher and the pupil, the strong and the weak, the parent and the child, the hale and the infirm, of the living to the dying and the dead and in short that it inculcated and inforced the practice of every moral virtue and every duty which man owes to himself, his neighbor and the Most High. "Then let us pray, that come it may— As come it will, for a' that— That man to man, the world o'er, Shall brothers 'be, for a' that." So mode it be. What the Churches are Doing PAGE TWO "CHRIST COMING—AND COMING TO CHRIST" Revelation 22: 6-14 The Kingdom of God not yet set up in the earth. Trouble for the true church throughout the Gospel Age. Their triumphant reign during the Millennial Age. The marriage of the Lamb is not yet accomplished, therefore there is as yet no Bride. The Heavenly Jerusalem not yet ascended from God out of Heaven, therefore there is no River of Water of Life now. The Golden Text a picture of Millennial conditions. "The spirit and the bride say some. And he that he hearth, let him say come. And he that is atthirst, let him come. He that will, let him take of the waer of life freely." Those who claim that God's Kingdom was set up at Pentacost, that it has ever since been conquering the world, that its conquest will still proceed until God's will is done; on earth as it is in Heaven; that then the second advent of Christ will take place, and He will commend their work, and that He will proceed to take all the faithful to Heaven and to burn up the world—these, dear friends, must be perplexed when they read the Revelation. Surely they must admit that the three chapters, containing our Lord's message to the churches imply nothing of the kind enumerated above. The message to the different epochs in the history of the Church suggests nothin gto the effect that the Church of Christ is reigning now. They indicate that, downto the very end of the age **I will be a suffering church. The Revelation promises a coming reign to those who faithfully endure the trials of the present time preceding the establishment of the Kingdom. Each message to the church closes with an exoration to the overcomer The intertwining chapters between the third and the twentieth deal with the conflicts between good and evil and evidently cover the entire Gospel Age. Yet in all of these presentations the evil is shown to be triumphant, and the people of the saints of the Most High are worn out and cry from under the altar, etc. These chapters do not, describe anything like a Reign of Righteousness. It is only at the close of the book of symbols—from the 18th to the 22nd chapter—that the close of this Gospel Age and the inauguration of the Millennial Age is pictured, showing the triumph of our Lord and His saints. The introduction of the Reign of Righteousness is shown, marked by wonderful events connected with our Lord's second advent—the glorification of the church, the binding of Satan, the rising of the Sun of Righteousness, the blessing of the world, the scattering of its darkness, ignorance, etc. One would suppose that, even with no knowledge of the symbols of the Revelation, no thinking Christian would, have any difficulty in realizing that the book portrays trouble for the church throughout the Gospel Age and the triumphant Millennial reign at its close. The River of the Water of Life The New Jerusalem, the church in glory. The walls are "living stones," such as the Apostle Peter describes (I. Peter 2: 4-7). The foundation stones are the Twelve Apostles of the Lamb (Rev. 21: 14). The throne of God and the Lamb is in the City From the Throne of God will proceed the River of the Water of Life, of crystalline purity, not muddy traditions with false doctrines. It will be the pure message of the Lord, going forth from the Millennial Kingdom for the blessing, refreshment, rejuvenation and everlasting life of the whole world of mankind, or so many of them as will accept the blessed provision. Not only will the message of peace and the offer of life go forth from the Throne to the whole world, but there will be trees of life on both sides of the river, bearing twelve manner of fruits and yielding their fruit every month; and the leaves of these trees will be for the healing of the nations. This symbolic picture suggests nourishment and healing for the sinick, starving world, which then may partake freely of all the blessings and privileges thus symbolized. When the New Dispensation, represented by this symbolic city and its river of the water of life and trees of life with their leaves of healing is made available to man, it will be the beginning of times of restitution spoken of by the Lord through the mouth of all the Holy Prophets since the world began (Acta 2: 19-21). The Restitution will affect all the willing and obedient, not only physically, but mentally and morally. The uplift will be individual and worldwide. This is the very object of providing the River of Life, the Trees of Life, their leaves and their fruits. "Whoseover Will May Come." The call of the Gospel Age is limited. "He that hath an ear, let him hear." Let him come, and coming, he one of the elect. But the majority of mankind cannot hear the message in the present time, hence they cannot be of the elect. The Scripture clearly indicates a reserve in the matter of the Lord's grace at the present time (John 6: 44; 12: 32). This Gospel Age is the period during which the Father is drawing the church to be the Bride of Christ; but as soon as the marriage of the Lamb shall have taken place, as soon as the New Jerusalem, the Church in glory, shall have been established in the earthm, then the drawing of all the families of the earth will ensue. They will not be drawn, however, to the same things to which the Church has been drawn. They will not be drawn to the Heavenly things, to the joint-heirship with Christ Jesus in His Kingdom. They will not be invited to become members of His Bride; for the Bride class, the Kingdom class, will then be completed beyond the possibility of any further addition. The River of Water of Life represents the blessed influence that will proceed humanity from the glorified Christ—Head and Body—from the Kingdom of God's dear Son. When the Sun of Righteousness shall have scattered the darkness of ignorance and sin, when Satan shall have been bound, when the River of Water of Life shall flow freely, then the invitation which will go forth will no longer be a call of the elect, but an invitation to every member of Adam's race to partake of the blessings and privileges which God has provided in Christ, in order that they may have the everlasting life and the everlasting joy which is to be the portion of those who will avail themselves of the gracious provision in Christ. "The Spirit and the Bride Say Come There will be a Bride then; but there is no Bride now. The Church is an espoused Virgin, but the Marriage of the Lamb is still deferred (II. Cor. 11: 2). The last member of His Church must complete his course, must pass the final examination and enter into glory with Him, before the marriage can be consummated. After the Marriage of the Lamb not only will there be the Holy City representing the Chuch in her official or governing capacity under Christ; her Head, but there will be the bless work of the Church—the calling of the world's attention to the River of Water of Life, to the leaves of healing, to the fruits of the Spirit. Then the Spirit, the power of God, will cooperate with the message then promulgated, and the result undoubtedly be that all the world shall hear, and that all who love righteousness and hate iniquity will return to life everlasting. It will require the entire Millennial Age for the delivery of the message to every creature, and for mankind to avail themselves of the privilege then afforded to whosoever will. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Corner 8th and Towne Ave. Rev. J. Logan Craw. Pastor Two magnificent congregations assembled at the morning and evening services Sunday past and enjoyed the messages delivered by the pastor. At the afternoon revival service the Rev Price of Channing street church delivered an enthusiastic spiritual sermon which was very acceptable and one young lady was converted to Christ. There were four accessions to the church membership during this Sabbath day worship. A new collection of music, a new collection of surplices, a new addition of choir members to our talented aggregation of singers who have already made the Eighth and Towne church choir a world famous organization, is now the order of things under the direction of Prof. Bynum, our efficient chorister. Come and enjoy this special feature of the services each Sunday morning and evenings. Everybody welcome. Occupy the pulpit at both services Sunday. Come early if you would get a good pew and derive the benefits of the entire service. All are welcome. Extraordinary—The Farewell Concert by The Hahn Jubilee Concert Company at First church. Wednesday night. Jan. 31. 8:30 p.m. sharp. Admission 35 cents. You will have to hurry if you want a seat. WARD A. M. E. CHURCH 1354 Channing St. Rev. J. W. Price, Pastor Last Sunday was another day of feasting at this church, the Rev. Dr. S. E. Edwards delivering the message in the morning which was filled with fire, and the congregation feasted. The Sunday school was well attended, and a great deal of interest manifested, especially since we have a new teacher to assist in the work. On account of having been sick herself and having sickness in her home, our Sunday school superintendent has not been with us for some time, but her very faithful assistant, Mrs. S. A. Lee, has been at her post, and things are moving nicely, and God is leading on. The evening service was fairly well attended and all enjoyed the message by the pastor. We called on Sister Wm. Galloway in Boyle Heights a few days ago and found her spiritually strong and somewhat improved in health, for all of which we are very thankful to our Heavenly Father. Services for Sunday, Jan. 28th: Sunday school, 4 a.m. We thank your Christian Endeavor, 6:30 p.m. Regular services at the morning hour, 4:00 a.m. and 7:45 p.m. The astor will speak at both services. All THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH The pastor brought the message at the morning service last Sabbath and introduced Rev. Archie Williams of Los Angeles as the speaker for the evening service. A good attendance and a generous contribution toward the effort the trustees are putting forth, characterized these services. At 2:30 the B. Y. P. U. Federation of Southern California held its quarterly meeting and election of officers. J. Alen Reese of Venice was again selected to guide the work of this useful organization through another term. The reports of the committees, the missionaries and of each individual Union were most gratifying and sufficient to enthuse those who have not taken the proper interest in this work. The week of prayer conducted last week was spiritual benefit to those who were undaunted by the rain. The services were led by some of the lay members and proved to be valuable as a preparation for the gigantic effort launched this week under the supervision of Rev. F. H. Davis of Los Angeles and the pastor for the saving of souls. Rev. W. H. Tillman is assisting in the work. Meetings are being held each evening this week at 7:30, except Saturday, and will be continued through next week. At the evening service next Sunday the newly elected officers of the Sunday School will be installed. METROPOLITAN CHURCH For the benefit of the Day Nursery the Hahn Jubilee Singers will appear at the High School on the evening of the 29th. This will be the only opportunity to hear this company in the city. The Dunbar Club of the church announces weekly meetings on Monday nights while the Booker T. Washington Club meets every Thursday night. The pastor will speak to young people especially Sunday. The "Road to Success", and "How to be Great Men and Women" are his subjects. A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES At last Sabbath's meeting of the Sunday School the newly elected officers of the school were installed and a start made on a New Year of endeavor. The pastor preached at morning service and again at night. The Ladies' Aid Society met with Mrs. Jas. Owens last Thursday. Rev Dyett is busily preparing programs for the anniversary and fair which will be held at the church beginning Feb. 21 and continuing through the 22nd, 23rd and 24th. The captains are also busy lining up their workers for the rally against the church debt. Announcement is made that on the evening of the first Sunday in February the service will be in the charge of the young people with special music. At next Sunday's meeting the Endeavor Society will be led by Mr. Walter Dyett, and a special program will be rendered by the young ladies besides an address by Mr. Kincard. The pastor will preach morning and evening Sunday.... REVIVAL REPORT The Union revival meeting under the auspices of the Methodist Ministers' Alliance closed its third week of meetings at the First A.M.E. Church. Rev. J. Logan Craw. D. D., pastor last Sunday. The meeting began with much promise and enthusiasm at the First A. M. E. Zion church last Monday night. Dr. B. C. Robeson is the genial pastor here, where the meeting will continue each night for two weeks. The following are the visible results for the first three weeks: Accessions to First A.M.E. church, 29; to Wesley Chapel, 1; meetings held, 23; sermons preached, 23; prayer meetings, 23. The following pastors preached a week each: Rev. J. C. Anderson, Dr. B. C. Robeson, Rev. J. W. Price, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. True lead the prayer meetings very successfully. The collections totaled $34.40; expenses. $28.00; leaving a balance on hand of $7.40. REV. E. R. JOHNSON. Statistician. SECOND A. M. E. CHURCH Rey, E. R. Johnson, Pastor The services were inspiring all day Sunday. Rev. Hartnett spoke for us in the morning. On next Sunday the trustees will hold a dollar rally for the street paving debt. The voting contest for the most popular "missionary lady" was a success in spite of the very inclement weather. Mrs. Stella Ross received 745 votes. Mrs. Mamie James with 100 votes was next. Amount presented stewards, $845. On the sick list are Mrs. Silvia Martin, Mr. Milton Hicks, Mrs. Baker, and Miss Doris Young. The pastor is seeing everybody that can possibly be enlisted in the spring rally. PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor Cor. Eighth and Wall Sts. The Signal light was hoisted high on last Sunday, and several sinners caught a glimpse and got on board the old ship of Zion. A large congregation greeted the pastor at both services, and the sermons were unusually interesting. In the morning the pretty and impressive hymn, "Pass It On," was sung by Mr. Emanuel Hall, and by special request, repeated in the evening service, at which time Rev.

THE KENSINGTON ART CLUB ENTERTAIN OUTGOING STATE OFFICERS IN ITS CONNECTION The Kensington Art Club gave an exclusive affair for the club members on Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 24, at the residence of Mrs. J. O. Banks, 1235 New Hampshire st. in honor of the outgoing officers and president of the Federated Clubs. The Kensington feels honored to have four of the state officers in its club, President Mrs. M. Bates, Organizer South Mrs. Minnie Davis, Superintendent of Literature Mrs. L. Slaughter, Chr. of Exchange of Southern Division Mrs. G. Bartlett. Mrs. Banks served the club with an elaborate ten-course dinner such as only Mrs. Banks knows how to serve. Christmas has passed, yet turkey and every other good thing was greatly and abundantly in evidence. Covers were laid for 19. While the entire membership is 25. The beautiful decorations were in club colors, white and gold. Dinner over: the remainder of the afternoon was spent in story telling, acting, reading and singing. Talent was discovered that no one had the least idea existed. Mrs. Mary Smith sang "The Rosary." Mrs. Lula Slaughter and Mrs. L. Roan gave a two-act original comedy sketch. Mrs. M. Bate, Mrs. G. Bartlett and Mrs. M. Crumbly excelled themselves in reciting from Dunbar and other authors. There were numerous stories told from diverse subjects, like the unwritten law, mother will have to tell the daughter and so on, for those stories will never be forgotten. Each member took part on the program. The gowns were beautiful. The program was concluded by a valedictory by Mrs. Slaughter. "We deal with the most high potentate of the land, the peace treaty president. So if you want everlasting peace to exist among the members of the club, have treaty drawn by Wilson and have Minnie to Bate the hook with Egg-es-ton, for she is a Skinner and then some.

Among the Churches SCOTT CHAPEL NOTES Tuesday that the interest runs high at Scott Chapel along all lines of church activity is to express it very mildly. In the memory of all of the older members there never was a time when the little church was fulfilling its mission as well as now. Every service is one of real worship and the practical sermons of Pastor Kinchen are greatly inspiring the people in the manner of every day Christian life. Services last Sunday brought out large audiences. Next Sunday will be of special interest as this is rally Sunday. The members of Scott Chapel just among themselves and a few friends expect to raise a given sum on next Sunday. The church has not given any entertainments and very little money has been solicited among friends. Chairman Hamilton of the Board of Supervisors will be the principal speaker in the afternoon at 3:00 and a great many friends from Los Angeles and our own Crown City are expected to worship with us at that hour. Pastor Kinchen will preach morning and evening. FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Zion has a large host as her guest this week. The big Union Revival has been housed with us. The Rev. J. Logan Craw, pastor of First A. M. E. church, has preached very able sermons. He is both able and eloquent and many hearts have been deeply touched because of his efforts. Many are heeding: the call to service as shown by the large interest and crowds turning out. All sinners and doubters, backsliders, now is your time to be influenced, instructed and saved if you only have a care. Our poular and capable pastor. Rev Robeson, was not with us last Sunday. He responded to the call of Wesley Chapel to preach for them, showing his unselfishness toward a good cause and willingness to assist, drugging and pastorless congregation. But he will be back "home" next Sunday to all members and friends, and especially to those friends who came out last Sunday and were disappointed. You are invited to come back next Sunday. The pastor's subject at 11 a.m. will be. "The Power House of the Christian." At 8 p.m., "Behold I Have Played the Fool." Visitors and strangers remember that this is the People's Church. You are welcome. Sunday school for old and young at 9:45 a.m. Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. Dr. Craw will bring to a close his week of preaching. Don't fail to hear this message. Next week Rev. Johnson of the Second A. M. E. Church will deliver the messages. Good times await those who will drink from the fountain that never runs dry.

Bethel Church of Christ The Sunday school was well attended. At 11:30 the pastor delivered an eloquent sermon; Subject "Salvation." He made the Gospel so plain and simple until a child could understand it. At 3 10 p. m. the Pastor taught a beautiful lesson from 2 Cor. 5:18 The B. Y. P. U. met at 6 p. m. the topic being "Santification." Three very helpful papers were read on the subject. At 7. 30 p. m. the Pastor came before us and again preached a wonderful sermon, the text being taken from Matt. 7: 13-14, "Enter ye in at the straight gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat." Showers of blessings fell upon us while he preached, and we all enjoyed ourselves in the Lord. Come and hear our Pastor next week. SECOND BAPTIST Very interesting services are being held at the old Second Church. Last Sunday Rev. Tillman assisted Dr. Prowd, and preached a most inspiring sermon, on "The Triumphant Entry." After the services in the morning, the entire church voted that we go into a series of protracted meetings in the interest of souls. The Rev. A. C. Powell, the beloved Pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in New York City, and justly called "The Spurgeon of America" will help Dr. Prowd in the laudable work. Dr. Powell will preach his opening sermon on the second Sunday morning in February, and at night will preach from his greatest, "The Valley of Dry Bones." On the Thursday night of this same week, he will deliver his wonderful lecture—"Broken—But not Off." All members and friends are urged to come out to the meetings which will begin next Sunday night, and continue on through the ensuing week. Dr. Prowd sincerely thanks his numer- ```markdown ``` Just to Get Acquainted Our initial advertisement in the Eagle will be one that will bring results. That's our aim.

If you have any of your handiwork worth displaying bring it to the Second Annual Conclave of the All American League, at Exposition Park, February 22nd, and receive for it on its merit a beautiful diploma or medal. So far in the "police clean-up" nineteen officers have been bounced, three of them being Colored. One of the vacancies of the Colored has been filled by the selection of Mr. Jesse Kimbrough. Let more of our young men go into the examination in February. President Wilson should start recommending measures for the uplift of American citizenship. How about 11,000,000 native born American citizens who are treated worse than aliens? Why is not the embryo statesman and school teacher we now have at the head of this country a sufficient clear vision to quit his prattle about foreign affairs, and tell the people that governmental brutality is fast making a domestic menace? No sensible Colored man wants more nor less than his rights as an American citizen. The All American League, which holds its Second Annual Conclave at Exposition Park, is going to make genuine history for the Race, Feb. 22nd. There will be beautiful medals and diplomas gixen for exhibits, and there will be a free barbecue of meats all raised by members of this Race. The Governor of the State, the Mayor of the City of Los Angeles and the Chairman of the County government have been invited to be present to make short addresses not on politics, but on the obligation of civic government. Excellent papers will be read by thoughtful members of the Race and the true spirit of Americanism which knows no man or woman by his or her Race and Color will get a great boost. The word has gone down the line that the superintendent of the Owl drug stores of the Southern District of California, has instructed his hired help at the soda fountains to refuse to serve Colored people. This innovation is not because disorderly poor attired Colored patrons have asked to be served, but it is simply a concession to rabid Race prejudice. Well, the $30,000 that has gone into the coffers of the Owl concerns should be diverted to our only Colored druggist, Dr. Prentice, on Central Avenue near 12th Street. This drug store is modern in every respect, has careful prescription clerks and fresh drugs, and an established reputation for treating the Negro right, and every other Race. Anyhow, neither prescriptions nor trade of the Negro should go to the Owl folks so long as Race discrimination exists in their establishments. Assemblyman Bert Farmer has gained a little questionable fame for himself in the Forty-second sessions. It seems Editor J. B. Bass had been appointed through the efforts of Assemblyman Mouser, an Assistant Sergeant at Arms, and on the Editor's own request he had selected the coat room as his assignment. An Assistant Sergeant at Arms is appointed to do police duty. In the coat room to see that the personal property of the Assemblymen is not stolen, that there be no lobbying on these premises, to preserve order and to see to it that only certain designated persons can enter and lounge there. In fact, in the cloak room the duties of the Sergeant at Arms is nowise different than his duties at the doors, galleries or lobbies. But it seems Assemblymen Bartlett and Farmer expected because the only Colored attache had he cloak room, to make him do the valet act of brushing off with a whisk broom the clothes of Assemblymen. Mr. Bass, standing within his rights, refused to double up on his job, so Farmer at the instigation of Bartlett, introduced on the floor of the Assembly "a whisk broom order" for the only Colored Assistant Sergeant at Arms in the Legislature. Mr. Bass stood within his rights and he received another assignment, which probably the enterprising Assemblyman from the Furlong Tract District will not be able to "limcrow." THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE PRESIDENT WILSON'S PEACE MESSAGE President Wilson in his "swan cry" to the U. S. Senate is not only academic, he is platitudinous. The Allies having answered his monograph on "lasting peace," and the Central Powers having used the President for self-exploitation, which is self-glorification. As a matter of record Woodrow Wilson has proven he is the one and only chump that has ever occupied the White House. With his special envoys and his "kitchen cabinets," he is now in a fair way to make real red-blooded Americans blush with shame. This "peace message" of Mr. Wilson transcends all boundaries of consistency and decency. In endeavoring to show his profound erudition, his statecraft and his tender sympathies for the European international "mess," he has earned for himself the title of being the boss hypocrite. A single reference to his treatment of a weaker Nation, not Poland, Haiti; his disfranchisement for all practical purposes of the Negro Porto Rican citizen; his lack of sympathy for the two million Afro-Americans in the Southern division of his own country; the injustice of all of his treatment of his Colored fellow-citizen, and his double-dealing with the Suffragists, in addition, his hoodwinking the various labor organizations of this country, is enough to make all of his official utterances questionable and his sincerity doubted. How-any one with a memory can consider President Wilson's recent "peace message," anything but the veriest bunk, it is hard to conceive. ONE OF THE INCONVENIENCES OF BEING A CONVICT The little evening Record has again displayed the huge development of its colorphobia. In its issue of the 22nd inst., under a flare-head display heading on the front page of this delectable sheet appears: SHACKLE WHITE TO NEGRO. Then follows the story: A white convict was brought from San Quentin to testify before two grand juries, when he had "stool-pigeoned" to the satisfaction of the authorities he needs must be returned to the penitentiary. As is customary convicted men are coupled with irons to another prisoner. In this case it appears that this particular white convict was coupled to "a coal black Negro," and he feels very indignant, very much humiliated, not because he is a convict, but his feelings are hurt beyond repair because of his enforced servitude with "a coal black Negro." It has long since been decided that the "coal black" don't come off, and the odor of an unwashed Negro is no more offensive than the odor that proceeds from a dirty whiteman. The Negro convict, according to the regulations in such matters had to be chained to some one, and we hear no complaint from him, and we cannot see why the other fellow has any kick coming to him. And another thing we cannot quite understand the aversion at this late date of a white man being chained to a "coal black Negro" in the berth of a sleeping car, when it is an uncontrovertible fact that for nearly 250 years the "white gentlemen" of the chivalric South were raising mulatto children by Black women. At least the complaining white convict has the consolation of knowing that he has not been guilty of any gross immorality, though he had an undesirable berth-mate. COLLY BROS.

MOORE, Prop. 1254 East Cotorapo Sr, |Jesus Christ, and in the same love }you embrace Jesus Christ, the same {love you embrace the church. God jsaid in His Holy Word: “If you ‘love_me, keep my commandments.” |! You love the church, your first ‘duty is to adhere firmly to all that the church teaches. The church {3 not only an authority commanding faith and obedience; she is also a mother who loves us and commands us to love her. As Christians, we have many reasdns for having pride in and loving the church, Today the church is hated by the world. She is the representative of God and hence she. is the personification of good jand it is natural that the Devil and his followers would be its enemy. The church has been hated throughout the centuries, but in our day this hatred has attained propor- tions which history has never known before. Men can be found who make ‘an open and avowed profession of insulting ‘the church ,and do you not realize that in the face of so great a hatred, you have a sweet and solemn duty to perform? It is your duty to love the church, You imust love her the more bécause she is hated. If we have pride in and love for the church, we will, not be neutral on subjects of Importance, which might arise in the church. We must enlist in one or the other con- tending armies. To lean sometimes toward the church, sometimes toward the enemies of the church, is not only weakness, but cowardice. God deliver the church from the paral- yzing power of men. The church to- day has far too many men ready to put the brakes on her progress. Cautious, men; cautious, very cau- tlous—but far too few men of steam power, and when a church is on the downward grade, she not only needs brake power to stop her, but still more steam power to pull her up again. We sadly need in the church, men to tell us what to do, and who go and do it. “I'm going to fish,” sald Peter. And in a time of paral- ysisi, when men were eating out theeir hearts with fear ‘and misery, not knowing what to do, or where to ‘turn, there rang out this one voice, saying: “Let us do this,” and they did it and God almighty met them, and whenever a band of, Christians undertake to do anything in Christ's name, with zeal and with pride for their church, Christ will meet them. The worst thing that can be said of any ‘Christian community ‘is, this: “Thou hast a name to live and art dead;" “Thou art neither cojd nor hot.” Our Lord: Jesus says: “I would thou wert cold or hot, so then because thou art lukewarm and nei-. ther cold nor hot I will spew thee out of my mouth.” A church without life and zeal makes Christ sick. How long must the church live before it will learn that strength is won by action, and success by work? Let us as Christians do all the work we can for God and His church. If we cannot be a lighthouse; let us be a candle, and if each one of us indi- vidually Jet our light shine, all to- gether it will make a great light for Jesus. If we are going to be successful, we have got to take our stand for God, and let the world and everyone know we are on the Lord’s aide. God's very service f= wages. Dear Christian friends, let us do what we can for the church, show our love for and pride in our church by doing something. But remember that you will never be saved by works; and you never will be saved without works, If we have church pride and love we will not fail, above all things, to give to God the portion of our substance. In the case of the widow there was nothing left. You are not to look at me and I am not to Sook at you, but each alone, each man and woman, is to look upward before God, and remembering Him and His offer- ing, let each soul give with the keen but kindly eyes of Christ reading us to our bottom thought. Dhen we say, or how often we use the words, with a kind of mock modesty, “I will give my mite,” did you ever stop to think that the mite is all, and to know, too, that although man looketh upon the outward appearance, God knows the heart?) So let us do our duty io God, to the church, and to all man- Kind with an “eye single to God, and if we are truly Christians, we will reap our reward in the work to come, for at our best estate we are only pilgrims and strangers here. “Heaven is our home.” Death will never knock at the door of that Mansion, and in all that country there is not a single grave. DEATH OF MR. F. L. ANDER. NOS We pause at this time to say a word about our good friend and brother, F. L. Anderson, who died last Friday evening at his late resi+ dence, 743 E. 27th street.

A. building only a few months, but in that short time so. endeared himself to the seretary, the dormitory men and all those connected with the as- sociation by his beautiful and Christ- like life, that no death in the associ- ation ranks during the ten years of its existence has caused more sadness than his. Every man and boy re- spected and loved Brother Anderson. He was indeed a brother-man in the fullest sense of that word. He was so meek, so sweet in disposition, so scrupulous in word and acts that his very presence made one feel that his claim of righteous and holy. living was no idle dream, but a real living fact. . While he was far from a well man during the whole time he was with us there was never.a moment that he could not say that everything was lovely’ with him. “His influence for. good upon the young men in the building and the older ones, too, will live forever. With all of his good- ness and piety he loved to be sociable and agreeable and always enjoyed the jokes, especially when they were di- rected at himself. In keeping with his modest way of doing things he stole away Christmas day without the knowledge of anyone at thé-building except the secretary: and was married to Mrs. Josephine Williams, a most excellent young woman with rare qualifications and a temperament so nearly like his that-they were easily made one, indeed and in truth. But how strange—how incapable are we of understanding an all wise Provi- dence. We had scarcely hailed our good friend when we were called to say farewell. ey God bless and keep. that wife and those children: ‘The Y. MC A.

Wade is fashped Gospel preach sermons have bad telling You can "catch" cold only from a person who has a cold, according to the California State Board of Health. Acute colds are not caused by overeating, or lack of fresh air and sleep. These are but predisposing factors. All acute colds are due to infection received from another who is so infected. Dirty hands, soiled handkerchiefs, and infected drinking cups are some of the ordinary vehicles by which the infection is transferred. The promiscuous sneezer, who does not sneeze into his handkerchief, is also a big factor in the spread of acute colds. In order to keep well, one must observe the common rule of hygiene, and to avoid a cold he must keep away from a person who has a cold. This is easier said than done, for there are large numbers of people who are harboring such infections. Much misinformation regarding the evidence of cold is published. There is no denial of the fact that a person must do all that is possible to keep up his bodily resistance, but it is a mistake to claim that colds are caused by indiscretions in mode of living —Templeton Times. FUNSTON SENDS MILITIA HOME 25,243 Guardsmen Are Relieved From Further Border Duty and Will Be Mustered Out Washington, January 21. More than 25,000 National Guardsmen now on the Mexican border have been designated by Major General Funston to return home and be mustered out of the Federal service. All these organizations will be started homeward as soon as transportation facilities can be provided. Their departure will leave between 45,000 and 50,000 guardsmen still in the Federal service doing border patrol. S. P.

Of the sum $54,000 went as a bonus to the help on the Sacramento division of the road, most of the men living in Sacramento. The bonus to the shop workers was $69,669, all of which is paid to Sacramento men. A similar 5 per cent bonus will be paid in July. RAILROAD GUARD FOILS SECOND ATTEMPT TO WRECK "THE LARK" Logging Chain Locked to Tracks Near Salinas, Cal., Halts Southern Pacific Train Salinas, January 20.—The second attempt within three weeks was made tonight to wreck the Lark, the Southern Pacific Company's fast train from Los Angeles, by tying a logging chain on the railroad track about two miles south of here. The obstruction was discovered about eleven minutes before the Lark was due, by one of the company's guards who have patrolled the track every night since the first attempt. The guard's motor car hit the chain and was wrecked. It was necessary to stop the Lark for a few minutes, as the chain was locked, and it took some time to get it clear. Within a few minutes after the discovery of the obstruction a large number of Southern Pacific detectives and special officers were rushed here, and tonight they are searching the countryside for the wreckers.

Los Angeles, Cal., Jan, 25, 1917 Editor Eagle: Since our last communication, another mass meeting has been held in the "Forum," which was very largely attended and the results were very satisfying. This meeting like all others that have passed and gone is now a matter of history, and the good that will result therefrom time alone can tell. In traveling over the lands of the Papago Indian country, we were amazed at the wonderful fertility of the soil, and the immense crops that were being produced on the same. The month being July they were just preparing the ground for the second crop, which but goes to show how very prolific the soil is, and its value as a farming country. Previous to our going to the land there was a question mark in our minds as to what sort of reception we would get from the Indians, whether they would be friendly or hostile. To our delight, figuratively speaking, we were received with open arms, and had we been of a smoking type we would certainly have gathered around the camp fire and all joined in a pipe of peace. They are certainly civilized far beyond expectation, and are a thrifty, peace-locing people. We are satisfied that whoever takes up their abode in this region and pursues the proper methods, they need anticipate no trouble from these noble "Redmen" as they will meet all new comers more than half way in all overtures of friendship, and furthermore it is the intention of the government to segregate these lands so that a proper division will be made concerning the lands allotted to the Progressive Educational Association and those given to the Indians. Some doubt has arisen in the minds of some wouldbe critics as to the citizenship of these Indians. We want to say right here, without fear of successful contradiction, that these people are not Indians as pictured in the minds of so many people with the tomahawk, feathers, paint and other accoutrements which go to make up the Indian of history. But they are citizens according to the wording and terms of the Constitution, and enjoy the liberties and privileges of all other peace loving people. In our next we shall take up the methods of living and other characteristics of this simple minded people. Again we say, now is the opportunity of a lifetime for the Race to get in on the ground floor and be independent and progress educationally, financially and spiritually. JAMES H. LONGDEN, Legal Adviser Progressive Educational Association. Another Long Step. The Comobabi Mines Co. through its vice president, Theodore W. Troy, accompanied by Attorney Hugh E.

Are you satisfied with working all your life at starvation wages and keeping your nose to the grindstone? Why not seek independence and comfort in life? There are many ways to attain it if you only know how. All you need is an opportunity to get into a legal and honest money-making enterprise on the ground floor and at the right time and you are in the road to success. This is Your Opportunity—The Chance of Your Life to join us in the Oil Land Development Industry—the greatest money-making industry of today. Small investors have made and are still making fabulous profits from oil and oil lands. In many instances small investors have made from $50 to $500 for every dollar invested. You can have the same opportunity if you will accept our cooperation. This is an opportunity so unique and so remarkable in its profit-earning possibilities that it should awaken the interest of every person to whose attention this announcement comes. It offers an opportunity for you to invest a large or small sum in a sane, clean, economically managed company on a most profitable cooperative profit sharing basis with all the stock risks illuminated. JUST THINK, $75 in cash or in 15 monthly payments will secure deed to eight large oil lots and an interest in all the oil out of four or more wells, to be drilled under our liberal cooperative profit-sharing plan, giving each investor a chance to secure a LARGE MONTHLY INCOME from the oil as well as from the land, being situated in the center of three large oil fields in Hardin County, Texas. Said fields produced more than 10,000,000 barrels of oil in 1914-15, and more than 50 gushers, from 1,000 to 10,000 barrels came in during that time. Single lots in the fields near by have been sold for $1,000 to $15,000. Our investors will have the same chance, after we have brought in one or two wells, to sell their land for just as much or more. We have only one thousand shares in all, (each share consists of eight lots, being one-fourth of an acre,) therefore the profit for each share will be large. The following illustration will show the profit each investor will receive out of a certain number of barrels at the present price of oil: Should our first well prove to be a 5,000 barrel producer, then each share of eight lots will receive $150 a month and should the first four wells produce 20,000 barrels, then each share of eight lots will receive $600 a month. CERTAINLY, NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER BEEN OF- FERED THE PUBLIC BEFORE You probably have neglected many a money-making opportunity but dont neglect this one, it means your fortune, and is right within your reach.
