EVILS OF THE JITNEY BUS The Negro Welfare League of the City of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County is an organization of citizens who stand ready to defeat the continuance of jitney busses in our city. The operators of these busses have directly, harmfully, prejudicedly violated the statute laws of the great State of California by refusing trade and travel accommodations to all citizens alike. The rankest injustice, the broadest, foolish, most deplorable part is due to the fact that after the establishment of these Jim Crow discriminating "vehicles of destiny," the street car companies have been compelled, for lack of patronage, to greatly reduce the service on some lines, and, in some instances, to discontinue car lines entirely. Denied the right of patronage by jitneys, robbed of the splendid transportation given by regularly operated street cars, we find ourselves facing a situation which must be fought out on the political battlefield on June 5th. This organization believes in justice and fair play. We are not opposed to the individual interests of any person or concern insomuch that these interests do not interfere with the rights and liberties of other parties. We are dedicated to the principle of safeguarding, as effectively as we can, the communal rights of our citizens at large. The street car system of Los Angeles City and County has spread a network of cars in and around our city and suburbs. Remotest points of our municipality are rendered accessible and easily reached by means of this splendid systematized traction company. It would be a calamity to those persons who depend absolutely upon street cars for transportation to allow an ill-constructed, irregularly conducted, carelessly driven jitney bus to impair and impede the progress of this public utility. It has required years of skill and study to weave this fibrous network through the thickly settled, and even the poorly populated sections of our city and country. It has cost million of dollars, to construct and maintain this car system which, in point of service, stands second to none in our whole country. This same company, aside from incurring enormous debts and grinding taxations, which must be paid to have and hold their rights to operate, gives work to thousands of employees who are paid salaries commensurate with their time and labor expended in the company's employ. These employees have at all times, in keeping with the rules and regulations as set down by the traffic managers of the Los Angeles Traction Company, treated us as citizens of this commonwealth, as patrons of their enterprise, with the utmost civil and courtesy. We deem it unfair that this great company should be forced to compete with this new, strange, barbarous parasite—the Jitney Bus—which lives on an organization more highly organized and beneficial than itself. If properly invoked, the power of our courts should be sufficient to wipe out this sea gull, this new bird of prey—the Jitney Bus. When you go to the polls on June 5, 1917, be sure that you vote against this nuisance, which has so infested the streets of our city that the life of an individual is constantly in danger of being crushed out. Los Angeles, Cal., June 1, 1917. To the Calored Voters of Los Angeles: Hhw long are we going to stand for the discrimination daily practiced against our race by the jitney bus drivers? Vote "YES" on No, 4. (It will regulate the jitney) Vote "NO" on No, 8—which was put on the ballot by the jitney bus men themselves. Very respectfully, J. B. BASS CHARLES ALEXANDER HAROLD PRINCE C. OLIVER Committee. 4. Shall the ordinance proposed by initiative petition, providing for the supervision and regulation of jitney buses, stages and auto stages; providing for the issuance of permits for the operation of such jitney buses, stages and auto stages; prohibiting the operation thereof upon certain streets, be adopted? YES X NO Shall the ordinance proposed by initiative petition, regulating the operation of motor buses, and providing for the issuance of permits to owners and drivers thereof and repealing Ordinance No. 31877 N. S., 32-518 N. S., 34934 N. S., 35-322 N. S., 36055 N. S., and 36112 N. S., be adopted? THEY ARE DYING HARD, BUT MUST GO and marks a new era in politics in this section. This procedure is in keeping with the tactics of Hoke Smith, Cole Blease, old Vardaman and other Southern fire-eaters. When their cause fails of merit they attempt to work on the passions of the people by injecting prejudice. But in this they will find that the make-up of the people of this section is different indeed from the people who make up the citizenship of Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina, and that the old familiar cry will avail them nothing. They must stand here on their merits, and if they only knew how small they make themselves by this cheap and snide clap trap they would sneak to cover long before the day of election. It only gives the people more reason to put this class of our citizenry out of harms way and to put there by the vote of the people, means they must stay down and out. This is the class that is the weight on the progress of not only our city and state, but the nation as well. The duty of every voter is to vote and work for amendment No. 4. Vote against and work against No. 8 on next Tuesday. [Portrait of a man in formal attire, facing slightly to the right]. SENATOR HENRY H. LYONS FOR THE CITY COUNCIL For the plain, common everyday citizen, for the masses, there is no candidate for the council to our mind who would serve the people more conscientiously than Senator H. H. Lyons. Mr. Lyons has been tried and found true on all occasions. The Eagle commends his candidacy to the highest consideration of our many readers and urge for him a hearty and loyal support. DO NOT FAIL IN THIS CRISIS. COME OUT, DO YOUR SHARE FOR SUCCESS OF THE HOME GUARD At the 14th street school on Wednesday evenings is the drill ground for the colored home guards of California and we are urging our people to see to it that Los Angeles raises the four companies that she set out to raise, the highest compliment we can pay to ourselves is to do our bit, it is not a question of begging in, it is a question of preparedness, so that when we are called we shall be ready. No matter what the croakers may say the black phalanx has never failed nor has it ever been shy on loyalty to country and home, and the proposition of filling up these four companies in Los Angeles should be one of the easiest tasks we could contemplate, so speaking to those of the race who believe that we should line up for all of the things that means the protection of our very own integrity of a nation, we are asking our men to rally to the call and be present at the 14th street school Wednesday evening to join with those who are already there and do your bit toward the mighty proposition of preparedness. Mr. J. S. Crail and Assemblyman Thos. L. Ambrose, who have charge of the campaign for the election of the Citizens' Ticket for the Board of Education, say that without question their ticket will be successful at the polls on next Tuesday. Mr. Crail is an astute and practical campaign manager and has brought about great results in the past, and no doubt knows whereof he speaks. Both of these gentlemen have requested the fullest consideration for the following candidates: Lucius K. Chase, D. K. Edwards, Lynn Helm, C. C. Parker, Charles E. Seaman, Frank Simpson, Mist Beesie D. Stuart. Amendment Negro Inventor Mr. Henry Gonsouland, patentee for a safety device for railway train toilets. Residence 1527 E. 7th St., Oakland, Cal. His ability to put into practice the knowledge he has acquired from experience and observation to apply it successfully has resulted in what he says is a success. The path of an inventor is not always an easy one in the case of a colored inventor. Mr. Henry A. Bowman of Worcester, Massachusetts, devised and patented a new method of making flags. After he has established a paying business on his invention, the information came to him that a New York rival was using the same invention and "cutting" his business. Bowman brought suit for infringement, but the suit went against him on a legal technicality and being unable to carry the case through the appellate tribunals, the destruction of his business followed. Another inventor, J. W. Benton of Kentucky, completed an invention of a derrick for hoisting and being without means to travel to Washington to look after his patent, he packed his model in a grip and walked from Kentucky to Washington in order to save carfare. He obtained his patent in 1900. Another instance in which the inventor regards his experience as one of special hardship is the case of E. A. Robinson of Chicago. He obtained several patents for his inventions among which are an electric railway trolley, September 19, 1893, and a journal for car wheels, November 23, 1908. He says this was infringed upon by two large corporations — the American Car and Foundry Company and the Chicago City Railway Company. He endeavored to stop them by litigation, but the discouraging aspect of a fight waged between a powerless inventor on one side and two powerful corporations on the other. So far as is known the case is still pending. A man may be the first to conceive a new idea, the first to translate that new idea into tangible practical form and reduce it to a patent, but too often that "slip twixt cup and lip" leaves him the last to get any reward for his inventive genius. Granville T. Woods, late of New York, appears to have surpassed every other Colored inventor in the number and variety of his inventions. His inventive record began in 1884 in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he then resided and continued without interruption for over a quarter of a century. While his inventions relate principally to electricity, his inventions in telegraphy include several patents. He patented fifteen inventions for Electric Railways. He organized the Woods Electric Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. The official records of the United States Patent Office show that many of his patents were assigned to such companies as the General Electric Company of New York—some to the Westinghouse Air Brake Company of Pennsylvania—others to the American Bell Telephone Company of Boston, Massachusetts, and still others to the American Engineering Company of New York. So far there is no inventor of the Colored Race whose creative genius has covered quite wide a field as that of Mr. Granville T. Woods, nor one whose achievements have attracted more universal attention and favorable comment from technical and scientific journals both in this country and abroad—From the Scrap Book by J. D. Reynolds. ANNUAL THANKSGIVING SERVICE OF THE U. B. F. AND S. M. T. Last Sunday was one long to be remembered by the members and friends of the United Brothers of Friendship and the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten. The occasion was their annual sermon at the 8th- and Townie Ave. church, forming in line of march at their hall accompanied by Los Angeles crack brass band, playing martial music, the great concourse of the brothers marched to the church edifice where they were joined by the S. M. T. beautifully gowned in immaculate white, the brothers in open order, the sisters passed through into the church which with the other members was fill- to its utmost capacity. Bro. A. L. Tilton, deputy grand master of this order in an eloquent and forceful manner depicted the principles of the order and told of the great principles of brotherhood of his soaring order. He beautifully portrayed the grandeur of its work and indeed in a highly creditable manner, introduced Brother M. T. White as the master of ceremonies. Among others who spoke was Attorney L. D. Barnett, a representative of the S. M. T.; Sister W. H. Shores and then Rev. J. Logan Craw preached the annual sermon which was a sermon evoking the greatest of interest and enthusiasm. At its conclusion the collection was raised and the order marched again to its halls, having marked another milestone in its march of progress. WALTER MALLARD Walter Mallard, candidate for City Council, received a very heavy vote at the primary election. He has been a student of practical city government while acting as Assessor of Los Angeles. In talking of his candidacy, he says he sympathizes with the people in their taxes, both special assessments and general taxes, they are compelled to pay, and knowing the City Council not only fixes the rate of taxation, but spends the money, will, if elected, oppose foolish legislation and extravagance, always endeavor to prevent frittering away of tax money, and will never be too busy to hear persons with grievances; will insist on lessening the number of special assessments in times of stress; stop paying for junkets of officials, and insist that city automobiles be used for official business only. He is committed to a consolidated form of government, consolidation of municipal functions of a similar nature, supports in principle civil service and efficiency, is a free agent and owes allegiance to none but the whole population. OUR TICKET Owing to the fact that we are on the eve of election, deluged with calls as to how the Eagle stands on the men and measures to be voted on, we are publishing here a ticket which we verily believe is worthy of the support of the people: What the Churches are Doing BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST Wm. A. Washington, Pastor Last Sunday was a great day at Bethel. At 11 a.m. the pastor preached a soul stirring sermon. Text, Rev. 19:13-14. At 8 p.m. again the pastor preached an able sermon full of inspiration and power. Text, Matt. 24:13. The members and friends of Bethel are looking forward to the opening of the great revival campaign, which will begin June 10th, 1917. This great meeting will be lead by Dr. C. P. Jones of Jackson. Miss. This great divine needs no introduction to Los Angeles, having led the great union revival here two years ago. The public will again have an opportunity to hear this man of God. Look for further information in next issue of the Eagle. DISTRICT CONFERENCE C. M. E. CHURCH The session of the district conference of the C. M. E. church, held at Santa Mnoica, May 23 to 27, was said to be the greatest ever held in the district. Under the guiding hand of Rev. Wm. Seldon, the new presiding elder of this district, the work has pirogressed by leaps and bounds, and great credit is due this eminent divine for the manner in which he is bringing things to pass. Rev. Butler and the Santa Monica people spared no pains or expense to make things pleasant and comfortable for the delegates, Dr. J. C. Anderson, Rev, J. L. Trimble, Rev. A. K. Ridge and Dr. Wm. Seldon preached soul stirring sermons. Mrs. M. R. Harris, president of the Woman's Missionary Society, rendered valuable service. She gave a grand concert on Tuesday evening. BIRCH STREET CHRISTIAN CHURCH Corner 14th and Birch Streets Wm. Z. Hopner, Pastor Services for first Lord's day, June 3rd; 10 a. m., Bible school, I. L. William, Supt. 11 a. m., preaching by pastor, subject, "Opportunities." 7 p. m., Christian Endeavor, Mrs F. B. Miller, president. 8 p. m., subject, "Service the Test, in the Judgment." ANNUAL RALLY CLOSES SUNDAY The Annual Rally at Wesley M. E. church will close this Sunday, June 3. Every captain and every member is urged to contribute the largest possible amount on the closing day. Indications are that with united effort on the last day, last year's splendid record will be broken in spite of these strenuous war times. At 11 a. m. the pastor's subject will be "What Shall the End Be?" The subject of the evening sermon will be "Well Done." These are both great messages that ought to be heard by capacity audiences, morning and evening. Wesley Chapel exists not for its membership alone but to minister some hat to the religious life of the city. We, therefore, extend a cordial invitation to the members and friends of other churches to worship with us at one of the services and to contribute something to the success of our rally. Every member is urged to bring or send an offering on Sunday, even if conditions make the offering small. It is certainly better to do something though small, than to do nothing. PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor An exceptionally large and appreciative congregation attended both services at the People's Independent church Sunday. Rev. J. M. Riddle of Pasadena preached an able sermon Sunday morning. His theme was love. This sermon touched the hearts of all who heard it, and a number of persons accepted Christ. At 7:30 o'clock the consecration sermon was preached by the pastor. Two deacons were consecrated, namely, Brothers Osborne and Carrington. Next Sunday will be the first Sunday. The first Sunday always means a big time at Independent church. All are invited to be present. WARD CHAPEL A.M.E. CHURCH 1354 Channing Street N.Y.C. 10022 Rev J. W. Price, Pastor Sunday was another successful day for Ward, as we had three splendid services, one accession to membership, at 3 o'clock p. m. Dr. B. C. Robeson delivered a fine sermon to the delight of all present. At the closing of the evening service the returns of the rally were quite pleasing, and we believe that when the final reports the made we will reach the desired amount. We are very grateful to all of our friends for their unstinted aid in our efforts to raise the required amount for our indebtedness on this property. The members and friends of Ward Chapel are very grateful to the First A. M. E. church for their hospitality is not only throwing open their hearts, but the doors of their banquet hall to allow Mrs. True to give an co- tertainment there Thursday evening, June 7th, for the benefit of this church. We are sure the affair will be a success, for Mrs. True never fails. Services Sunday, June 3rd, preaching at the morning hour, at which time the Lord's Supper will be administered, and at 8 p. m.; Sunday School at 9:30 a. m., Mrs. S. E. Mann, supt.; Allen Christian Endeavor, 6:30 p. m., Mrs. B. F. Bryant, president. All are welcome. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Corner 8th and Townne Ave. Rev. J. Loren Craw, Pastor The pastor preached and there were seven accessions to the church membership. At 3 o'clock the anniversary services of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. lodges were held and the church auditorium and balcony were taxed to their capacity in seating the people. June is here and with it comes the getting ready for the annual conference to be held in Oakland, Cal., the first Wednesday in September. Who will be the first to pay "dollar money?" Let us pay this magnanimous charity claim and get it out of the way. The "dollar money" maintains the greatest Negro organization ever conceived or established. Come prepared to pays yours the first Sunday in June if possible. The pastor will preach at both services Sunday. It is communion day. The Lord's Supper will be administered. Let every member be present at one or both of these services. Everybody welcome to attend. Come on time for a good pew. THE BAPTIST UNION The Baptist Union met with the Alliance on last Monday. The meeting will be in session next Monday. One of the features of the meeting will be a discussion of the subject entitled "Should a Baptist church consult the Baptist Ministers' Union before calling a pastor?" We expect that this subject will precipitate quite a discussion. Everybody is extended a cordial welcome. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH 34th Street and Central Avenue E. E. Lightner, Pastor Two splendid services were enjoyed by the worshippers at this church on last Sunday. The pastor spoke at the morning, taking as his text, And the patriarchs moved with envy sold Joseph into Egypt, but God was with him. Acts 9:9. At the evening service, Rev. N. B. Ghormley and wife, who for eight years were missionaries in Africa, spoke of their work there. They also exhibited many curios of the natives together with specimens of the work done in their school by the natives. Next Sunday, being the first in the month, there will be the regular communion service. The pastor will preach at both services, morning, "The Bequest of Jesus;" evening, "Little Foxes that Spoil." Christian Endeavor, 7 p. m., topic, "Confidence and How to Get It." Neh. 6:1-16, (consecration meeting.) Mrs. M. L. B. Byers, leader. A cordial welcome to all. RE-ELECT W. A. ROBERTS A large and enthusiastic gathering of Colored voters assembled at 1162 East 12th street last Saturday evening and endorsed the candidacy of W. A. Roberts for re-election. Mr. Roberts was highly complimented for his advocacy of the humanitarian measures for which he has stood both as member of the city council and as member of the State Legislature. Every class of the laboring energetically for the re-election of Mr. Roberts. His record stands unimpeached as a labor advocate. Vote for W. A. Rob- The Colored men of Cleveland, who cleaned cars on the Big 4 R. R. struck for higher wages. The company immediately employed Colored women for the same work at the same wage. They are making good and will hold down the job. AIRPLANES IN MEXICO Non-stop airplane races, one between San Francisco and San Diego and the other El Paso and San Diego, will be unusual features of the program of the Friendship Fiesta to be held at San Diego on June 21, 22, 23 and 24. If accomplished these will be the longest non-stop flights ever made in the west. Military and civilian aviators alike are co-operating. GET FREE SEEDS FOR YOUR GARDEN Owing to the generosity and patriotism of E. T.

Miss Hazel Brown deserves special praise for her designing of the costumes for the occasion, and the Misses Bolds, Josephine Brown, Gwendolyn Baker for ease in which they acted every part assigned them. Miss Ivy Washington's voice was sweeter than ever in her song, and the four end men, well there are no better ones for the part. No one would ever suspicion the Miss Grace McDowell had such a sweet voice or could play the ukulele so divinely. But probably she.was saving her talent for this grand occasion, which was made more supreme by the danseuse by Mrs. Murdock and by Miss Mamie Cunningham and her comic selections. In fact, it was the best yet and it had to be because Mrs. Rosetta Warner Penbroke played the grandest music. "so full of 'pep' don't you know." OPEN HOUSE The Alpha Tennis courts were crowded all afternoon on the 30th, because it was the day the club held open house. Among those most prominent in the games were Mesdames Broyles and Young, Miss Bolds, Messrs. Broyles, Mathews, Broks and two visiting young men from Pasadena and Paul Williams on Doctor Jordan and Lawyer Tyler. Some people say tennis is a game for the tall, willow or the slender, well George Johnson and Paul Williams are certainly willows, but Ray Mathews and Lawyer Tyler made "their brows wet with honest sweat, and they earned what're they could," which wasn't much. VISITING Among the charming visitors in the city is Miss Patte Preston, from Ogden, Utah, who is visiting her sister, Miss Ruth Preston of East 23rd st. MOTORED Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Anderson of San Diego were the house guests of Mrs. Murray and sister, Sunday and Monday of this week, while Mr. Anderson, who is the foremost business man of San Diego, transacted business in Los Angeles and vicinity. They motored up in Mrs. Anderson's new seven-passenger Lozier, presented to her by her husband on her birthday several weeks previous. OUT AGAIN Friends of Miss Inez Bailey will be glad to know that Miss Bailey was one of the enthusiastic watchers at the tennis grounds on Wednesday. Miss Bailey has been on the sick list but is much improved. *** TWENTY-FIFTH WEDDING JO ANHYS3AINNV MR. AND MRS. R. H. HALL Account of the Twenty-Fifth Wedding Anniversary of Our Very Esti- mable Citizens, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Hall On last Thursday evening, May 24th, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Hall, 3947 Trinity, were the charming scenes of all that would encircle and embellish the happiness of "home, sweet home." Such was the celebration of the Twenty-fifth anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Hall. This lovely, well and favorably known couple, together with their daughter and son and wife, formed a line as honored guests o the occasion, while a constant stream of their friends poured in and out from early in the afternoon until the dreamy hours of night to give words of congratulation and leave tangible expressions of their fond remembrances. The pleasures of the evening were enhanced by an inspiring program, Mrs. James J. Leggett acting as Mistress of ceremonies. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. D. Gordon, followed by a piano solo by Miss Cornelia Leggett; Mrs. Mannie Smith, vocal solo; C. A. Biggers, original poems. The next was a short address by Rev. J. D. Gordon. Dr. Gordon's inspiring treatise on "Married Life," as exemplified by the twenty-five years of matrimonial existence of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Hall brought us to a sublime consideration that married life is not a failure. Music was furnished by Britton's orchestra. The decorations consisted of green ferns, white carnations and silver paper.

Gonsouland Car Toilet Device (PATENTED) The laws of sanitation make it compulsory that toilets on all passenger coaches be closed while in the city limits and while being transferred across all bodies of water. Especially in the State of Colorado. The traveling public has suffered patiently from this inconvenience with the belief that the railroads could find no remedy for the causes that required such stringent SANITARY MEASURES. The Gonsouland Toilet Hopper and Improved Water Heater and Flushing Device is the outcome of over thirty years of research and development studied the further to understand in consequence of the present UNSANITARY methods of operating toilets on all cars, whether Pullman, Private or Regular Coach, but has witnessed the many hardships and inconvenience the traveling public is put to—particularly women and children—at all time, and especially during LAYOVERS and train delays. The Necessity for some more modern comfortable and sanitary relief from the present ANTIQUE and UN-HEALTHY arrangements now in use has always appealed to the Railroad Officials who constantly study the comforts of their patrons, but it so happens and quite naturally, that the practical and permanent relief has been devised by a man whose daily occupation brought him forcibly in contact with these long-felt needs. Everything that pertains to the comfort and convenience of the traveling public in the toilet, coupled with facilities for keeping clean the cars with a minimum of trouble and a maximum of hot water, and the possibility of avoiding delays, losses of pocket-books and rings, etc., of passengers, financial losses and litigation to the Railroad, is all combined in these two devices working as one, and I respectfully submit same to the human factors who are constantly studying the interests of the public and the roads they represent, and hope for a favorable consideration and adoption of my patents. The use of these patents may be leased separately if desired. The use of these patients may be leased separately if desired. May be used on street cars, overhead trains and suburban electric trains. No removal of present equipment required. Will fit all trains and will meet the approval of the traveling public, Board of Health and Railway Commission. H. P.

H. P. THE WOMAN'S DAY NURSERY Perhaps one of the worthiest and most humanitarian efforts undertaken by Club women in the West is the Woman's Day Nursery at 1322 Channing street. This institution was organized a few years ago by what was known as a Day Nursery Association and since that time has been operated and managed by that organization. It has always been the object of the women, who conceived this idea to give shelter and succor to unfortunate and homeless children. From its incipiency the home has filled a great need in this vicinity, and now with the efficient Mrs. Sarah Middleton, a woman of superior ability, at the head as matron the home, a neatly furnished five-room cottage, promises to be one of the leading institutions of its kind in this section. Since becoming matron last April, Mrs. Middleton has systematized the order of the institution and in many ways brightened its future outlook. COLORED CITIZENS ASKING FOR JUSTICE ALL ALONG THE LINE Last Monday morning some of the Colored citizens wended their way to the Hall of Records and when the Supervisors went into their chamber to begin the county's business for the day it was requested by the Colored representation that the matter pertaining to the transferring of the Colored fanitors from their present 1525 Seventh Street, Oakland, Cal. status to the Engineer's Department be laid over until Tuesday, which request was granted. Tuesday morning a delegation of clergymen and citizens presented themselves at the Department of the Supervisors and asked that inasmuch as the Negroes of this section were law abiding citizens, contributing to the growth and development of this state and county and that inasmuch as the Janitor's Department under the direct supervision of Mr. Robinson had been up to the standard in efficiency that this department continue under Mr. Robinson as head. The citizens who made the request believe that after this change which seems to be the inevitable shall have been tried out under this new department that it will be found that better results can be obtained with Mr. Robinson at the head. ANNUAL BALL The Colored Workingmen's Club will give its annual ball at Blanchard Hall on the evening of June 19. It will be a grand affair. Many prizes will be given.

The election next Tuesday is an all important one and our people should get out, every vote and put the iniquitous jitney bus out of commission. , > The Independent Ticket for the Board of Education as ap- pears elsewhere in these columns, has the support of some of ‘our foremost citizens and the Eagle i alf fairness presents-in this issue the same for your consideration. See After all, there is a difference as to environment. The rough necks at East St. Louis went up against a people who met steel with steel and inside information tells us. that they got more than they were looking for. Looking over our exchanges the Negro press played shy on commenting .on the Memphis horror. Hgwever, the New York News came forth with the strongest editorial denuncia- tion of any journal which has been our lot to see. The proposed move on part of the counsel of defense to conscript the idlers for farm work has caused more fear in the ranks of this gentry in the city than the proposed conscription for the U. $. arms. Next Tuesday is ‘natidnal registration day and we urge every young man between the ages of 21 and 31 to walk right up to the place of registration and perform that duty, and let there be no evasion or subterfuges because such will only regult in much trouble and lasting disgrace. We are pleased to note the active way in which Rev. A. P. Shaw of Wesley Chapel-is doing his bit for progress in this community, and we appreciate very much the splendid way in which his loyal congregation are holding up his hands. Beginning this incoming week the Masons will have their eyes focused toward Sacramento to the annual sitting of their grand body. Grand Master Harris and quite a delegation will be in attendance and we expect to hear good reports from the capital city. : We had intended to bear down hard on the candidacy of a certain candidate for the city council, but owing to the fact that we were forced to make it a personal fight, we have been con- tent to let our readers size up the situation and act accordingly. VOTE YES ON NO. 4 ON THE BALLOT, BECAUSE: No. 4 is designed to make the jitney busses assume proper responsibilities as ‘public carriers, and to give the public safe and adequate service. No. 4 does not in any way change the present licenses col- lected by the city for the use of its streets. No. 4 provides a business-like method for the issuing of li- censes to engage in the jitney business. No. 4 provides thaf the jitney busses shall be controlled by the rules and regu@itions of the Board of Public Utilities. —No. 4 provides a proper bond of $10,000 for the protection of the public. > No. 4 provides that each jitney-bus shall be operated from 6a. m. until midnight (the drivers may operate, if necessary, in double shifts) to insure adequate service to the public, just as the street cars have to do. i No. 4. prevents the operation of jitney ‘busses.in the dan- gerously congested district of the city. : Records ‘of the police department show that the jitney busses-are responsible for from 25 to 50 per cent of the con- gestion in the busi district. . Under municipal laws in the following cities in California jitneys cannot operate on’ certain streets: Oakland, Bakers- field) Fresno, San Diego, Marysville, San Francisco (during certain hours), Santa Ana, and Long Beach. A great number of other citits throughout the United States have found it nec- essary for the same reason to enforce similat regulations. : eriemenet eda: ia VOTE “NO” ON PROPOSITION 8 , Cnr } It repeals the present jitney.r rdinantes. a Ie satuees thes wpe pasture tt $50 for Local jitneys, and cons intérutban jitneys. ¥ oo feproaae +0 Diet, Mayme ieee Hale.

PERNICIOUS JITNEY BUSSES MUST STAND TO BE REGULATED. : REGULATED ES This momentous question calls for every voter to turn out on June Sth and vote YES on Amendment NO. 4 and vote NO on NO. 8 © ‘ By far the most important proposition which affects the very foundation of the rights of all the people, is the initiative Proposition destined to regulate the pernicious and discriminat- ing Jitney Bus. This industry has become a menace to the community and the people on all sides are crying out for relief therefore it is the bounden duty of the people who stand for “Jitbtice and fair play, to turn out on Tuesday, June the Sth.. and cast a ballot which will regulate the Jitney Busses so that they will cease to ply their work in the manner which has brought them into such disrepute, and the voters should not stop at cast- ing their 6wn vote, but should see to it that their friends and acquaintances get ‘out and vote YES on Amendment NO. 4 and NO on NO. 8. - , ‘ PERNICIOUS AND EXASPERATING * The Jitney Busses as operated in and ont of this city by their reckless methods and by rank discrimination ‘has become a veritable nuisance and all classes of our citizenship have felt their reckless abandon of the rights of the public, and to such an extent that the people have risen almost:en masse as it were, and demand that they shall be regulated. , | It has come to the point where it is not the railway people’s- fight, afd the situation demands that the people should take no chance with this pestiferous sore on the body politic, but that every voter must get busy and turn out on Tuesday, June the Sth, and vote for the initiative Amendment No. 4, which makes the Jitney Bus amenable to regulation the same as any other common carrier. ce Leading Citizens to the Forefront * In this battle for fair play and justice the leading citizens are taking a lively interest and will leave no stone unturned to arouse the people to the importance of this question. The fol- lowing letter from Dr.’H. D. Prowd, who is pastor of Second Baptist church, and president of the Interdenominatignal Minis- ters’ Alliance, is enough to arouse every voter to the necessity of voting and working for Amendment No. 4. NOW:IS THE TIME Dear Friend: . Now'is the time and opportunity to protect yourself. ‘The ballot is our Weapon of Defense against prejudice, and unjust and unlawful discrimination. ; qThe present effort to “Regulate Jitney Busses” is, on the one hand, a street car company.affair. But it‘does not -stop there. It vitally touches every black person’s interest in this city. j At present these jitney .busses positively refuse to carry our people. In fact they have on many occasions gone as far as to stop and put them off in instances where they were mistaken for.white people. At present we have no redress, as the men do not even own the busses. But if they are put under bond and properly regulated as is contemplated, we are sure to have our rights under the law and be rid of contempt and insults. y Let every Colored man and woman use the‘ oppor- tunity of defense. In coing ‘this vote for the ordinance put on the ballot by the railway employes. H. D. PROWD, President of the Interdenominational Ministers’ Alliance. The above letter is timely indeed and shows that our re- ligious leaders have their ears to the grass roots, and are alive to the situation and the EAGLE is glad to say that the senti- ment expressed in the above letter has the unqualified endorse- ment of the-entire ministry of this great metropolis. Jitneys Have Unlawfully Inaugurated Jim Crow Methods ‘Without warrant of law the Jitnye Busses have and even now-discriminate in their service to the public, and the very spectacle of this class of business sowing the seeds of segrega- tion, of malice, at this stage and this section-of our country, is fertainly to be condemned by all good citizens. > Must Be Regulated ~ . ~ . Se nefarious and so-pernicious has the Jitney Bus nuisance » become: that the business men of the city have organized and are taking a leading role in the movement for their regulation.

There are some issues upon which we can afford to differ. There are times when it may be fitting for us to walk in different directions—sing different songs—and read different stories, but we are coming to the day when it behooves all Negroes to bury differences and walk, sing, and read together. Tuesday June 5th is that day. We have been slapped in our faces long enough by these Jitney drivers. We have submitted too long to insult, abuse, and humiliation. We have seen our rights trampled upon and abridged by these Busses, who feel not the iron grip of the law. Their hour has come. The clock has struck. Our opportunity is here. The battle is ours if we want it. Victory can be achieved if we fight with a vim. Success will grace our portals if we do our duty. Not revenge, but duty calls. Not animosity, but a keen love and regard for justice urges us on. Whole-hearted action is the cry of the hour. Oneness of purpose will wave the flag of triumph. Every Negro who refuses to vote Yes on Ordinance No. 4 is a traitor to the cause. Every Negro who stays at home and turns a deaf ear to the clarion call of duty is a denier of the faith-recreant to his trust. Let us fight with all our might. Let us speak through the mouth of the ballot. "I slept, and dreamt that life was Beauty: Beauty, I awoke, and found that life was Duty." Rev. B. C. ROBESON, Pastor A. M. E. Zion Church.

It is not due to the fact that we have not been active for activity has been the cause. We have just been so busy until we had not the time to write. Since we are behind we will begin with the second Sunday, at which time the Second Baptist church was the scene of a great meeting, the occasion being that of "Mothers' Day." The church was beautifully decorated in keeping with the occasion. A program was rendered as follows: Duet, Mmes. Decatur and Reed; "Mther's Prayer," poem by Miss May Goodwin, "The Bravest Battle;" solo by Miss Cecil Stokes, "Mother's Bible;" sermon by Rastor Reed, who in his usual masterly manner preached from Isa. 49:15, "Can a Woman Forget her Suckling Child?" Also from Prov. 19:18, "Chasten Thy Son While There Is Hope.' It is needless to say that the texts were handled logically and with the spirit. The church was moved to tears. On last Sunday Memorial Services were conducted, a short program was rendered. Mrs. Mary Scott read a very select piece on "Death"; Mmes. Reed and Robinson sang a duet; Miss May Wiley sang a solo. Pastor Reed preached from 1 Sam. 25:1, "And Samuel died and all Israel gathered themselves together and lamented him." Taken as a subject, "Men worth While." He said among other things that men of value are not soon forgotten. Centuries nor millenniums cannot erase their life and deeds. Samuel lived more than three thousand years ago, but his name and deeds are still upon the lips of the children of men. Well, it was a sermon worth hearing. The church is now holding a series of meetings with Rev. Keller of Redlands as the preacher. All things are now ready for the big state convention which is to be held June 19-22. SAN BERNARDINO Mrs. Sheffield and little daughter Evelyn are visiting in Sacramento. Mrs. Brown of Riverside spent Sunday in our city. Mrs. M. E. Andrews, Mrs. O. V. Harrison, Mrs. R. C.

Quite a surprise to society is the secret that has leaked out, the betrothal of Miss Dora Dumene of Stockton to Mr. Edward Dawson of Oakland. Miss Dumene has been the guest of Miss Pauline Ray on many occasions and claims a host of friends among the younger set. Miss Naomi Brown will leave on the 10th of June for Oakland, where she will be bridesmaid for Miss Lillian Gray, who will become the wife of Mr. Henry W. Wright at a pretty home wedding on the 12th.

Miss Delia Harris enjoyed a visit with friends in Marysville last week, after attending the dance and supper in Chico.

Zion church last Sunday was a high day. The pastor spared no pains in sending the truth to the hearts of his hearers. He played the part of a hero and was as mild as a sweet spring morning. The service continued by an old time class meeting. Showers upon showers fell upon us and we left feeling like new souls at 7:30. J. C. E. Society was at its mark, led by its noble president, W. D. Hollins, who knows no failures. At 8 p. m. the pastor introduced the Rev. Wm. A. Washington, D. D., he chose for his text, Ezra 9th chapter, 8th verse. To say he preached is putting it mildly, yea, he preached and electrified his hearers. At its close he made an appeal to the Christians to reconsecrate their lives. About 30 came forward and bowed at the altar. Pastor Henry prayed a fervent prayer. On Tuesday evening at 8 p. m. the evangelist chose for a text 1st Cor. 6th chapter, 19-20 verses. Truth he sued his large audience Office 742 8rd St. The United States Member San Diego Cleari INTEREST PAID ON BANKI TIME ACCOUNTS Broadway and Second United States San Bernan Home 509 — Phone MARK B.

Mr. Sanford Harris has just received word of the death of his brother, Preston Harris, who was a well-known citizen of Leavenworth, Kane. - PASADENA A. M. E. E. CHURCH NOTES Services last Sunday were especially good. The pastor spoke at morning service and at evening a patriotic program was enjoyed. Mr. Gaines and Comrade Burlingame of the G. A. R. were the principal speakers. A flag was presented to the church by Mr. F. M. Prince and unfurled by his small daughter, Lulu. The flag was a gift from Former Mayor Vedder. As the flag was unfurled the Glee Club rendered a patriotic selection. The Aid Society met with Mrs. Cora Owens last Thursday and was entertained by Mrs. McAllister. Sunday evening Mr. Jones led the Young People's meeting and a short program will be presented. Sunday the pastor will preach and administer the sacrament at morning service. Committees are at work, the whole church is interested in preparation for the coming of the District Conference and Sunday School Convention next month. The Sunday School is preparing a special program for the evening service of the second Sunday in June, Children's day. METROPOLITAN BAPTIST CHURCH The sermon by the Rev. Wm. Prince was preceded with a song by Mr. Frank Prince, the congregation joining in the chorus. The sermon was well received. At the Sunday School hour gleaners were given out to different persons for the purpose of soliciting for the rally the second Sunday in June. The B. Y. P. U. at 6:45 was very much alive with enthusiasm and the topic was well discussed, and preparation was made for the Federation picnic, and messengers were elected to the state convention to be held at Riverside in June. The pastor preached at the evening service. Brother Wm. Reynolds lead in singing "He's the One." The choir sang beautifully at all services. Services next Sunday will be as usual: Sunday School, 9:45 a.m.; preaching at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m.; B. Y. P. U. at 6:45. Good music at all services. Strangers made welcome. By special request the choir will sing "I couldn't hear nobody pray." Led by Mrs. Williams. At the evening service Rev. J. M. Riddle delivered a most-wonderful sermon which made a lasting impression on those present. The Ladies' Aid Society was entertained at the home of Mrs. John Lewis on Thursday evening. The Queen Esther Circle was entertained by Mrs. T. C. Walker. At the official board on Tuesday night Scott Chapel finds all of her current expenses paid up to date and the pastor paid in advance. It was shown that it is a misrepresentation to claim these times hard when there is plenty of work and good wages for all. Because of the economy of people no one's expenses are more than they were last year at this time. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be administered on the Sabbath. Pastor Kinchen will preach at both services. FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH Morning and evening services were conducted by Rev. Tillman. The sermons continue to embody the principles of practical Christianity and are presented in that plain, simple manner peculiar to him.

Lady Assistant Service San Bernardino call of the church to be its pastor and will take up those duties on June last. The installation ceremony upon his own' request will consist only of a sermon by Rev. Haghes, pastor of the Metropolitan church, and a few words of welcome. This service will be held in and as a part of the regular monthly meeting of the Women's Home & Foreign Society at the church next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The public and congregation will no doubt be present in large numbers to hear this service. The church board met on Tuesday evening and formed several recommendations of importance which they presented at the monthly meeting of the church on Thursday evening. There is a movement on foot to arrange to hold the church meeting on Wednesday evening following the prayer service for the convenience of members not residing within a main distance of the church. The main topic of discussion and interest in the church life at this time is the rally scheduled to take place Sunday, June 10. Club enthusiasm and rivalry is on the increase. The membership is becoming more and more settled, consequently in the right mood to take seriously an affair of this kind. This one condition is going to be an important factor in the final returns. A last appeal is made to those members not connected with one of the working clubs, or units, to identify themselves with one immediately. There are five active ones in the field and each is anxious to increase their membership and efficiency. Dr. Tillman will preach morning and evening next Sabbath. The Sunday School is making steady progress but the necessity of regular attendance on the part of every man, woman and child cannot be made too emphatic. The B. Y. P. U. continues to present good lively topics of discussion, as well as meritorious offerings on the part of the program committee. Do your bit by attending these auxiliaries. WATTS NEWS Rev. A. P. Ramsey preached a wondersul sermon Sunday morning and Rev. Prowd Sunday afternoon. The rally was a success The choir-concert under leadership of Mrs. Gordon was a grand success, last Friday night.

Mr. McClellen and wife were visiting in Boyle Heights, this week. The Baptists birthday supper was a success on May 26th. 1. OPPOSE MORE POWER BONDS Don't vote for the power bonds. This is the advice carried in the resolutions passed by the California Citizens' Civic League of Los Angeles to the colored people of this city. The resolutions passed at a meeting of the league Monday night declare that "it would be unwise at this time to burden the taxpayers with more bonds." The league also endorsed a ticket for the council which included the names of Farmer, Lyon, Conway, Conrad, Powell, Mallard, Langdon, Wright and Conwell—Adv. AGAINST POWER BONDS The Colored Citizens' Civic League adopted resolutions against the Two Million Dollar Power Bonds, as follows: "Vote "NO" on Power Bonds The Colored people of Los Angeles number several thousand. They own a very considerable amount of property and they will average up well with any race or class in their willingness to do all in their power for the improvement or benefit of the city, but they work hard for their money and they are just as much entitled to be heard when it comes to great expenditures of public money and taxes as anyone else. There are many good reasons for opposing the $2,000,000 power bonds, which are to be voted on next Tuesday, June 5. Our people are entitled to know why. Those bonds should be voted down, because the city already has voted $10,000,000 for an ample power plant and a COMPLETE CITY DISTRIBUTING SYSTEM, both of which were promised the people to get them to vote those $10,000,000, and they have not had a "square deal." In the second place, the people have been promised lower light rates, lower taxes, better lighting and several other benefits by the crowd that was at the front in getting the voers to favor the last $6,500,000 put through, and they have been given NOTHING. Third, the extra $2,000,000 asked for now is only the first of a lot of new bond issues planned, and the voting of the first means another to be called for a little later until $12,000,000 to $20,000,000 more bonds have been voted for power. That means taxes so high that no one among the Colored people could afford to own city property. Every bond issue for power you vote, makes it just that much easier for the politicians to come back for another slice. DON'T GIVE THEM THE FIRST BITE! Fourth, the Colored people have reason to complain of the slight recognition given them in the past by the Public Service Board that has the handling of the water and power business. HOW MANY COLORED MEN OR WOMEN have been given employment out of the TEN MILLION DOLLARS already handled and spent by this Commission? Readers, you could almost count them on the fingers of your hands! How can these politicians have the nerve to come to the Colored people for votes for their power projects when it means nothing but higher taxes, more mortgages on their hard-earned homes and properties, and nothing in return? The hypocrisy of those who demand this extra $2,000,000 is seen in the fact that there is much more than $2,000,000 in UNSOLD POWER BONDS at this very time in the CITY TREASURY! If money is needed so badly for this power scheme, let them use the proceeds of bonds we have already given them. Therefore, the League advises: Vote "NO" on the $2,000,000 POWER BONDS! B. Y. P. U. FEDERATION SCORES SUCCESS IN ITS INITIAL EFFORT The First Annual picnic and outing given by the B. Y. P. U. Federation at Playa del Rey on last Wednesday proved to be a success, as hundreds of our people wended their way to that place on last Wednesday. The best of order prevailed throughout the day and both young and old enjoyed themselves to the utmost. President Reece and assistants are to be congratulated on the success of the day. "ANNOUNCEMENT The 50th Session of the California Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church will convene in Oakland, Cal., Fifteenth St. First A. M. E. church, Wednesday, August 15, at 9 o'clock, instead of on the first Wednesday in September.

Logan Craw, pastor of First church, Eighth and Towne Ave., will now double his zeal in getting ready for this annual meeting. Let us all pay our "Dollar Money" at once, and be through with it.

"When this European war began the world involuntarily speculated whether the Irish would be loyal and the Russian Jews, because of the denial of home rule by England, and of civil and politiccal rights dy Russia. As the United States of America enters this awful war the world speculates whether Americans of color will be loyal because of the denial of rights to a majority of them." Since colored Americans in the past have offered their lives in every way for the country, if Germany is seeking to induce them to revolt, it but proves how notorious is their prosecution. If this nation, knowing the active loyalti of the Americans in the past, believes this alleged plotting could succeed, it shows that the Government and people believe that colored Americans are most unjustly treated.

I enclose you herewith copy of a letter from the War Department which explains itself. I received a complaint from Mr. Morgan T. White, a colored man, residing at 1016 S. Mariposa Avenue, Los Angeles, that his son, John W. White, had been refused enlistment at a Los Angeles Recruiting Station. I took the matter up with the Secretary of War, and the enclosed letter is the result. Mr. White will be permitted to enlist, and I hope and believe that he will, like many other colored men have done in the past, make a brave soldier in the army of his country. Washington, D. C., May 21, 1917 Mr. Henry Z. Osborne, House of Representatives. Dear Sir: In response to your letter of 17th inst., with which you inclose a communication from Mr. Morgan White, a colored man, of 1016 S. Mariposa Ave., Los Angeles, Cal., in which he requests the enlistment of his son, John W. White, for the band, 24th Infantry, his enlistment having been requested by the band leader, and in which letter Mr. White makes mention of the fact that his son was refused enlistment at the Los Angeles recruiting station, I beg leave to inform you that enlistments for colored organizations have been confined to the enlistment of former soldiers, due to the fact that no vacancies have existed in any of the colored organizations for some time past. In the case of this particular applicant, however, enlistment will be authorized for the band, 24th Infantry, your letter, together with its enclosures, having been referred to the recruiting officer, Fourth and Main streets, Los Angeles, Cal., with authority for acceptance of this young man accordingly. Very respectfully, (Signed) H. P. McCAIN, The Adjutant General ORATORICAL CONTEST A MAGNIFICENT SUCCESS Promoted by the Young People's Advancement Club of the People's Independent Church The People's Independent church at Paloma and 18th Street was filled toits capacity on last Wednesday evening to greet the first oratory contest arranged by the Young People's Advancement Club of that church. The club covered itself with glory in this initial effort. Everything was carried forward with the minutest detail. The ushers in full dress, both laides and gentlemen, were on hand to seat their guests and to make them comfortable. On the platform in the order in which they were to speak, the embryonic orators were seated. The six judges consisted of Attorneys C. A. Jones, E. Burton Cerutl, Hugh E. MacBeth, Afue McDowell, G. W. Wickliff and Leroy D. Barnett. These six selected the seventh judge in the person of J. B. Bass, editor of the California Eagle. The program began at 8:45 o'clock. After preliminary remarks by C. A. Biggers, who acted as master of ceremonies, the invocation was performed by Dr. N. P. Gregra. The first number was a solo by Mme. Corine Busch Hicks; Oration, "International Patriotism," by Miss Della Hart. This was a splendid oration indeed, but Miss Della Hart rendered it to a disadvantage, masmuch as it was only a few hours before that her sister, Lella, was taken ill, and she had to take her part rather than to disappoint the people and disarrange the program, which had been aranged with such care. Miss Mamie Albritton sweetly rendered a vocal solo selection, and Mr. C. B. Dones followed with an oration, the subject of which was "Building a Race." Mr. Dones proved himself a worthy foeman and was in the race for honors every minute of the time. The third number was a bass solo by Mr. Carl Hanley, and was so well received by the vast audience that Mr. Hanley was compelled to respond to an encore. Mr. Hanley is a product also of the great Western University, and his effort was a revelation, and stamps him as among the foremost basso soloists of the country. Miss Luvenia Hickman, graduate of Western University, chose for her oration the subject, "Reaching the Goal," and so well did she measure up in its rendition that when the averages were struck by the judges, she was awarded second prize. The victory of Miss Hickman is remarkable from the fact that the burden of the work of arranging the program and attending to the details of this great entertainment has devolved upon her. The fourth number was a vocal selection by Miss Mamie Lowe. As in the case of Mr. Hanley, so pleased was the audience with her rendition that she, too, had to respond to an encore. (B) "Liberty and What Is Meant by Liberty," was the subject of the next contest, James H. Rodegers, a splendid composition, well rendered and when the averages were struck. hoodets, it not a winner, was high up in the running. No 5, "What Will the Harvest Be?" an oration by Miss Myrtle Anderson, proved to be the best effort of the evening, and by the high mark of 97 points, she was awarded First prize by the judges. It would be futile to attempt to describe in words the remarkable oration of this young lady, but she is a natural orator. She carries her theme with her at all times and it seems that her very soul goes forth with her burning words of eloquence. At the conclusion of her address pandemonium broke loose and it was minutes before the applause ceased. The concluding number was a solo by Miss Bertha Achols, and an oration, "President Wilson and the Adamson Bill," both of which were well received. The first prize, awarded to Miss Myrtle Anderson, a beautiful gold emblem engraved badge, was presented by Attorney G. W. Wickliffe. The second prize, awarded to Miss Luvenia Hickman, a beautiful solid silver medal and engraved, was presented by Editor J. B. Bass. It was one of those occasions long to be remembered and the Young People's Advancement Club of this church and its officers are to be congratulated upon their splendid efforts and magnificent success of the same.

Langdon, who is a candidate to succeed himself to the city council, is now and always has been an advocate of district representation in the City Council, as he believes that the best interests of all sections of the city would be served by having such sections personally represented in the legislative body of our city. His record is an enviable one, as he has been in the City Council for more than five years and at all times one of its most active members. He has been particularly identified with the development of the harbor at San Pedro, holding the position of chairman of the Harbor Committee of the City Council, and many of the features for which the harbor is now famous can be traced to Dr. Langdon's intelligent co-operation with the Harbor Commission. There is one thing that Dr. Langdon did during his term of office which would more than justify the citizens in keeping him there, if he did nothing else during his entire incumbency, for he is the author of the ordinance requiring all delinquent assessments to be set forth on the general tax bills. This feature has Readers Attention 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 same, 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 securedeed 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 gushore, 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.
