It is indeed fortunate for those who appreciate talent to have the opportunity of hearing a man of the calibre of the dean of the Western University, Acknowledged throughout the County as one of the greatest performers on the pipe organ living black or white. And it goes without saying that on this occasion he will receive a flattering reception the admission has been arranged at the popular price of 25 cents.

Gordon showed to the Eagle man the commission issued to our own Dr. W. A. Tarleton, who is now in the officers training camp at Ft. Des Moines, Iowa. The same reads that he is duly commissioned as a first lieutenant to serve until discharged. A line from the doctor himself shows that he is full of enthusiasm and is enjoying his work to the utmost. The doctor is sorely missed by his patients and a host of friends, as he was wide awake and abreast of the times and thoroughly progressive. All wish him a great success and that he will return to his home unscathed and singing the songs of rejoicing and triumph. The California Eagle REV. CRAW'S ASSIGNMENT The people are glad that Rev. J. Logan Craw has been returned to the 1st Church to begin the third year pastorate thereof, but they are very much displeased, that if it is true, as reported, that there are strings to this appointment. We have been told that the Bishop assigned him back to Los Angeles to stay until he heard from him; we learn until that Rev. Craw is wanted at some Metropolitan charge in the cast. Now this is the very thing that is displeasing, and certainly bodes no good for the church in this second middle to no other church in the connection, and while Rev Craw has just succeeded in getting the old ship righted and she is streaming the waves and progressing as never before, why this juggling and again unsettling conditions here. The people are justly up in arms over the prospect of such conditions and we verily believe if the mighty protest, which will go to the Bishop is not heeded, that it will be a set back to the progress of the church in this community. Miss Albritton Scores a Mighty Triumph. That Los Angeles is rapidly becoming a musical center, was indisputably proven last Friday evening, when over 500 music lovers packed Wesley Chapel to hear one of our young singers, who has returned to visit us after two years' absence. Miss Minnie Albritton is the young artist in question. I say artist because of the highly artistic work done by this young lady. Two years' training at the New England Conservatory, Boston, has made a wonderful change in the work of this favorite singer. She still possesses the same sweet voice but more developed and richer in resonance than it formerly was. Of course, in two years time one expects to hear only foundation work, but the fact that Miss Albritton showed not only an excellent foundation and evinced a knowledge of true artistic requirements in her rendition of the several numbers given, but proved beyond a doubt that she is on the right road to become a truly great artist. Miss Albritton might be classed as a mezzo-soprano with a strong leaning toward the dramatic style, although her great range gives her a fine command over songs that are written for high voice. One strange thing about her Italian and French is that in her French diction she surpasses the Italian, a very strange thing, since the Italian is much easier. Her correct intonation, style and accent places her French far above her Italian. The "Elegie," of Massenet, was exquisitely sung. In her English songs she proved that much discussed point, singing in English to be possible. Her enunciation is clear at all times. She never forces her tones and has accomplished that difficult feat of singing planissimo. In short Miss Albritton has demonstrated what can be done in two years time by one who is determined to succeed. It is evident, from the crowd that was present, that Los Angeles stands ready to help this young lady to continue her musical studies. Assisting Miss Albrighton were: Mr. Johnson, a very fine and capable baritone, who is a jewel to be added to the list of local musicians; our own Mrs. Dones, the violinist, who was well received in her share of the program; Prof. Greer, who for some reason did not appear, and last but not least, Miss Lorena Jordan, whose accompaniments sparkled and rippled under her dainty fingers. Miss Jordan showed herself capable and sympathetic in her playing of a very tiring and difficult program. Her playing of the last song without notes was a daring and successful piece of artistry. It is to be hoped that more or our young people will be inspired to follow in the fotostops of Miss Albrighton and her clever assistants. It is impossible to give too much credit to the committee in charge of the management of the affair, for their faithful, earnest and untiring efforts. Mr. Harold Prince was president of the Committee of Seventeen; Mr. C. A. Biggers, secretary and chairman of the publicity committee; Attorney Chas. S. Darden, treasurer; Mr. W. W. Gay, chairman of arrangements, and Mrs. C. C. Hulbert, chairman of the program committee. Fourteen young women selected from the social and business circles of the city and directed by Miss Mayme Cunningham, acted as ushers, while the Misses Juanita Patton and Anita Thompson served as flower girls.

McDONALD BANKER, MERCHANT, FARMER, STATESMAN Makes First Visit to Los Angeles Los Angeles has been highly honored this week to have in our midst one of the foremost citizens of the Lone Star State in the person of W. M. McDonald of Fort Worth. He is not only one of the most prosperous citizens of that State along business lines, but he is the real successor to the lamented Cuney as the political leader in that bailiwick. Those who keep track of national affairs in politics know of McDonald as one of the forces of all republican national conventions. He carried the soubriquet of "Goose Neck Bill." All of the great journals of the East have written column after column of his prowess in the political arena. We first met him at the Republican convention held at St. Louis in '96, at which time he was a strong adherent of Thomas B. Reed for President, and it was at this convention that Cuney was unhorsed by the first steam-roller process ever introduced in a national convention. Mr. McDonald is the dominant force in Republican politics in Texas today. He is leisurely taking a pleasure trip and left Wednesday over the Salt Lake and will visit Denver, Topeka, Kansas City and St. Louis before returning to his home in Ft. Worth. He is the president of the People's Bank of that city, owns a drug store, and this year has in cultivation 500 acres of cotton. Some man is he! Attorney Darden Learns Where Colored Applicants for Government Service Head In. The following letter, received by Attorney Chas. S. Darden in answer to an inquiry relating to the enlistment of colored men in the Signal Corps, seems to answer for all time the attitude of the Administration to 12 millions of its very own citizens. WAR DEPARTMENT. Office of Chief Signal Officer To Chas. S. Darden, 407 Germain Bldg., Los Angeles, Cal. [Subject: Colored Units]. Your letter of Aug. 10, with reference to colored men who have applied for enlistment into the Aviators' Section of the Signal Corps. At the present time no colored aero squadrons are being formed, and applications from colored men for this branch of the service cannot be considered for that reason. It is decided later on to form Negro aero squadrons. Recruiting officers will be notified to that effect and colored men may then apply for that particular service. By direction of Chief Signal Officer, THOS. H. McCONNAL, capt. signal corps, U. S. R. ```markdown ``` What the Churches are Doing What the Church WESLEY M. E. CHURCH—8th and San Julian Sts.—Rev. A.

Johnson desires to thank all of those who have stood by him in his struggle, especially Rev. E. T. Hubbard and Mr. and Mrs. Robert True. THE GREAT RAFFLE. Two prizes for one chance!

C. ROBESON Pastor A. M. Zion Church Not a day can you pick up a paper without reading where a decree has been granted or a union dissolved, or a request filed. The air is rife with it—so much so that many parties figure it in with the marriage contract. The evil is so strong that because of its frequency in action it has almost lost its sting, and the comments made by the young on marriages are often disgusting and bespeak a state of mind which bodes evil for the perpetuation of unity. No country can thrive with such an evil sapping its vitality—eating away its manhood and womanhood. The bible gives only one ground for the procurement of divorce—any other is man-made and must be judged accordingly. The result of our looseness in this respect has been that a verbal chat that grows too earnest may be used to untie the knot. If you bat your eyeballs a little too strong, away goes your contract for life. Where we will end at such a rate only God can tell; but one thing we do know, i.e., "We shall reap as we sow." The time has come for our consciences to be aroused, our feet to be put down, our doors to be shut. Some folk go to law to separate and others say au revoir and go. The underlying cause to my mind is the tearing down of the home life. It cannot be gaineaid—break up the home and you have a crowd of wanderers, of soldiers without armor and characters unable to stand the test of civilization. Home life in California is almost lost. With white and black it is the same. With the whites it is mostly an act of volition, with us it is a little volition and created necessity. By volition I mean that deliberate transgression upon all the laws of high heaven which bind a man to his family and home. He will spend the day away from home and then, after supper, put on his hat and leave his wife to bring up the children. With these little charges calling for a father's sympathy and love; with the mother's heart yearning for a little assistance in their rearing, he—brute that he is—turns his back on those cries and hies off to some 2x4 dance hall or 6x9 pool room, or else pollutes his mind and sears his soul frequenting some of these pleasure clubs. Plod on, thou breaker of eternal laws! Tear, in anguish, if you will, the heart of that woman who is sacrificing, toiling and laboring to bring up your children and make you a home! Tramp on and blight your manhood, blast your character and—damn your soul! But, don't forget, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Every tear that you have brought from that wife's eyes shall drop again from yours. It is amazing to know the sorrow and misery entailed in this way. Men, I call upon you now to change your ways. Act as becometh men with poise, power, plan and purpose. R·B STRICTLY HANDMADE 5¢ CIGAR The Lee & Henry Hotel 52 neatly furnished rooms. Hot and cold running water in every room.

Peace is much desired, but seems hard to obtain, and therefore the great forces backed by an unseen hand are fighting on and on, and the uninitiated proclaim "How long, O Lord! How long! The Central Avenue Protective Business League will again commence its activity on a larger scale and the continued progress along business lines will be stimulated to the utmost. There is no reason at all why the various business men represented on this thoroughfare should not receive from the people their united support. The prominent and dominant policy of The Eagle in playing no favorites, and recognizing in the most humble of our citizenship the real foundation for racial progress, has proved a winning one, and the soaring Eagles acknowledges its remarkable success has been its strong support from the common, every-day people, the masses—the people who do things. THE RETIREMENT OF YOUNG. Twelve million colored citizens look with suspicion and disfavor upon the forced retirement of Colonel Charles H. Young, coincident with his becoming a colonel in the regular Army. Nothing has done more to convince them that race prejudice alone in the General Staff is responsible for the colored army man's dismissal than the juggling of his case by the four examining boards and his military superiors at Washington. It seems almost incredible that a stalwart army veteran, still in his forties, fit and firm to all appearances and by his own testimony, should be retired now in the face of the greatest struggle that America and the world has ever seen. It would not seem possible that in such a crisis any man's Negrophobia should outweigh his patriotism. We submit the facts to the unbiased judgment of the world and posterity. We cannot do more. We cannot do less.—Amsterdam News. Twelve million colored citizens look with suspicion and disfavor upon the forced retirement of Colonel Charles H. Young, coincident with his becoming a colonel in the regular Army. Nothing has done more to convince them that race prejudice alone in the General Staff is responsible for the colored army man's dismissal than the juggling of his case by the four examining boards and his military superiors at Washington. It seems almost incredible that a stalwart army veteran, still in his forties, fit and firm to all appearances and by his own testimony, should be retired now in the face of the greatest struggle that America and the world has ever seen. It would not seem possible that in such a crisis any man's Negrophobia should outweigh his patriotism. We submit the facts to the unbiased judgment of the world and posterity. We cannot do more. We cannot do less. -Amsterdam News. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY. From the present state of labor conditions in this section and the call for colored labor in the fields, where they have never had a chance here-tofore, it is to be hoped that the people will take advantage of every opportunity offered and make good in the fullest sense of the word; and if, perchance, there are those who have no intention of making good, we say to them, "STAY BACK!" and do not be a stumbling block in the road of those who will. The man who simply works for a pay day and is content, is not the sort of man that is wanted, for he will do more harm than good. The proposition is to take advantage of the opportunities which present themselves, to the end that a practical demonstration as to the true worth of this labor may be presented, and in years to come it will be of lasting benefit—not only to the race, but to the community, state and nation as well.

THE DAILY EXPRESS SPEAKS RIGHT OUT. The Eagle has, from time to time, acknowledged the fairness of the Express and Tribune to the great masses of the people, and especially its attitude of a square deal for the colored citizens, and the clipping from the Daily Express of Aug. 13 which follows, more than justifies the same. They do not "hem and haw"—but, like Colonel Roosevelt, they speak right out and by all the people who stand for justice, this stand must be appreciated. The fact that strong friends are taking notice of these pernicious conditions means that, ultimately, justice will assert itself, and we verily believe that somebody must answer as to why this unfair discrimination prevails: The Eagle has, from time to time, acknowledged the fairness of the Express and Tribune to the great masses of the people, and especially its attitude of a square deal for the colored citizens, and the clipping from the Daily Express of Aug. 13 which follows, more than justifies the same.

The fact that strong friends are taking notice of these pernicious conditions means that, ultimately, justice will assert itself, and we verily believe that somebody must answer as to why this unfair discrimination prevails: UNFAIR DISCRIMINATION The claim is made by a local association that although the fire department is in need of men and fifty colored men are on the eligible list is in itself sufficient proof they have passed the examination of the civil service board "and therefore must be in every way fully competent to perform the duties of firemen." Appeal was made in vain to the chief of the fire department to appoint some of these eligibles to some of the existing vacancies, and it was urged that the department definitely declare itself against discrimination on account of color. We do not know whether the statements made in the communication are sustained by the facts; but, assuming that there are fifty colored men on the eligible list, if it be true that appointments are refused them when vacancies occur, they have just cause for complaint. The city of Los Angeles does not ask the color of a man's skin when it presents its tax bills. Government does not concern itself with racial prejudices when it exacts equal obedience to the laws. Negroes who have qualified through civil service examinations for appointment to public service are entitled to exactly the same sort of treatment that is accorded white men who pass like examinations.—Daily Express.

ATTORNEY GRASTY OF OFFL CERS TRAINING CAMP AT ET DES MOINES SETS AT REST ALL RUMORS WHICH HAD ANY REFLECTION ON HIS INTEGRITY AT HIS HOME IN SAN FRANCISCO AND OAK- LAND that are being used to hurt him be politically and in a professional w They say, however, that the effo will fall of their own weight just same as the ones to Col. Ballou, the San Francisco grand jury and the Alameda County Grand Jury. The Eagle is the People's Forum and in its columns all have a chance to be heard and when friends of Attorney Grasty, feeling that he had been unjustly assailed in his absence on behalf of his country, asked that the Eagle give to them a hearing. They did not ask in vain and therefore the following version and facsimile contract accompanying the same, follows: IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE COUNTY CHARLES M. JOHNSON, STATE VS.

SIXTY days from date, or less than thirty days, I promise to pay to JOHNSON S. GRASTY AND HUNDRED DOLLARS, on demand. It is claimed by friends of Mr. Grasty who vouch for his worth and integrity that a political and personal enemy in his absence from San Francisco and Alameda counties, based his vitriolic attack upon Mr. Grasty's professional conduct on an alleged agreement between Grasty and Chas. M. Johnson for service rendered by Grasty. It was made to appear that Grasty defrauded his client, but Grasty's friends now have dispelled that illusion which disappears like the baseless fabric of a vision, as we produce here the photographic copy of the agreement which was even dictated by Johnson himself, and that no one can see any fraud or questionable dealing in this contract goes without saying. Attempts to blacken Grasty's character therefore, go to the scrap heap.

I will be in your city Monday, and Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday, and desire very much to meet all ad- vertisers and subscribers, as well as correspondents. Be prepared to meet me. On the end of every rainbow, according to the old legend, is a pot of gold. On Labor Day, September 3, Venice will have a rainbow all day and part of the evening and not according to the legend, but from actual fact, the end of the bow will have twenty pots instead of one. All the event department is afraid of is that the old rainbow will not be able to carry the load. You will be interested in the following, for it is going, to tell you how to win one of these coveted gold pots. These gold pots are to be given away absolutely free—all you have to do is to find where the Rainbow Girl secrets them. This you will sneer at, saying that she will never bury any and that possibly there will not be any Rainbow Girl at all. Well, we are going to fool you this time, for at 10.30 a.m. she will drive down windward avenue to Speedway, t Brooks, to Ocean Front, to Z-phyr, where, at the edge of the sand, herself and her maids of honor and two detectives will proceed down to the very edge of the ocean and the pots of gold will be buried. You will have to keep your eyes wide open, for the Rainbow Girl is going to be the silkest of sleight-of-hand performers and you are going to miss that gold unless you pay the strictest attention. All day long the Rainbow Girls will hide these gold pots at the Race Thru the Clouds, at the dance pavilion, on the Scenic Railway, on the end of the pier, in the different cafes—in fact all over the entire amusement section. Where it will give everybody an absolute even chance, the Rainbow Girl will travel in a handsome Overland special car painted in all the colors of the rainbow. It will have signs on it telling that this is the rainbow gold distributor. In it you will see a vision of loveliness that will be the Rainbow Girl, with her two charming maids of honor, and two burly detectives to guard the gold. As the car goes from place to place the announcer will tell you where the gold is to be hidden, not the exact spot, of course, but as near as he dares without actually pointing it out. Watch this beautiful Rainbow Girl, for she is going to mean a lot of real gold to you, and the minute you lose sight of her you have lost your opportunity. Don't forget that the day is Monday, September 3 (Labor Day), and that the gold will be given away all day long and that every body has an equal chance to find it We are continually annoyed or shamed by the tendency on the part of our people to discuss private matters and racial secrets in loud tones in public places. This is not confiled to any special class of people, but is a general failing of the race. In bar-rooms tipsy clored men loudly discuss gambling, women and the short comings of other no account men like themselves. These same loungers, in far too many instances, discuss last Sunday's sermon, the preacher's frailities and their family business. In street cars, theatres, public meetings and on the highways our enterprises, our leaders and our social evils are made topics of public news. As a consequence the bartender generally a low-grade white man, and the white people of all classes are to believe that the white man is superior of the high class clored man; that the highest ambition of the colored man; is to dring booze, ware loud clothes, smoke cigarettes live in adultry and are all the weaknesses of the white man for that is where the colored man learned it all. The white man is every ready to listen to these conversations, as they generally show the lored man up in a bad light, but sinetimes they become so disgusting in their details that he gets nauseated Keep your private affairs to yourself, discuss racial affairs calmly and soberly amok those capable of comprehending and assisting in racial uplift. Do not discussthe moral lapse of your friends wives and daughters anywhere, especially when you have been criminally guilty of contributing to these delinquencies. Most white people believe that all colored people are morally bad, intellectually deficient and generally unworthy of respect and consideration. We are largely responsible for this belief. We have yet to learn that while "speech is silver, silver is golden." A jackass brays loudly, but he is neither intelligent nor valuable for he is the lowly burden bearer with highblooded stock.

Bigge:s The Grand Benefit Musical Recital in which Miss Minnie Albriton is a recipient of its success, stands first in the rank of the many benefit recitals recorded in the City of Los Angeles. Miss Albriton's singing brought this compliment from all over the house, "There is none better." Each of the participants assisting Miss Albriton, were truly Artist of first rank, strictly in a class to themselves. Mrs. Bessie Dones won not only distinction, but face for herself as a violinist; Mr. Thomas Johnson established a record for himself in Los Angeles, that no baritone singer san surpass. Miss Lorenza Jordan has long been regarded the choice piano accompanist, but at this recital she added to her reputation all that commendation could express to the redito of merit and ability. A full house listened with intense interest to the remarkable high class program. The finanary Club, the committee representing cial receipts neted a flattering neat sum for Miss Albritton. Sunday after noon 5:30, at the Mt Zion Baptist Church at the regular session of the Get Acquainted Literary Club the committee representing the various Clubs of Los Angeles, who fostered the interest of the Minnie Albritton Recital will meet in a body, and thru the president, present to Miss Albritton, the net receipts of the money taken in by the said Musical Recital.

HER GARDENING "I mean to raise my beets and corn And cabbages," said she; "I've figured up exactly what A saving it will be. "I've joined the Ladies' Garden Club Ten dollars is the due, "Ive got the sweetest garden gown, With little pockets neat To hold the seeds, and frilly hat, And gloves' and shoes complete. It costs me eighty dollars, but The time has come to pass When we must use economy, A LITTLE MISTAKE Since Gladys took to gardening And wields the rake and roe, She wears a pair of overalls Just like her brother Joe. And with her rakish Panama, She is a picture that Whenever I behold her makes My heart go pit-a-pat. Last night beneath the silver moon I stole upon her where She weeded the potato patch With slow and patient care. I clasped her in my arms and took A kiss and then another, Before I saw that it was not My Gladys, but her brother. Minna Irving. [Phones: Main 1613, Main 6128 If hot air was music, some of these home guards would be a brass band. Some of the women are doing their bit by wearing just as few clothes as they can.

Those who heard this sermon will ever remember "the trail of Death," and "the haunts of sin so vividly described by this "wonder of the age."

Colored Trade Phones Main 6512 A-9781 THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Twelve large, modern brick houses, giving shelter to 1,400 men, facing a grass covered, well kept rectangle of many acres, bordered on the other side by another imposing row of bricks called the "Officers' Row," having at the West end the Colonel's mansion and at the east the Colonel's office and his administrative forces and over this administrative building attached to a 50 ft. iron staff waves OLD GLORY—Fort Des Moines. But today Fort Des Moines is more than these buildings and rolling acres and waving flag. Fort Des Moines is a soul. The concrete expression of hope, good will, and faith in Negro manhood by those white men in the United States army in whom still lives the spirit of Robert Gould Shaw, blended with the aspiration of these Negroes as they struggle here taught, led, aided and encouraged to touch the mark set here for super-men that they might don the uniform and efficiently fill the proud position of officers in the United States Army; that they might draw their swords as free men and go forth to battle as peers and equals among all the men of the world, declaring that by their might, too, freedom shall not perish from the face of the earth. A score of West Point graduates (volunteers to the Negro uplift) compose the supervising faculty of this college. Each one a top notcher in his line. Among them First Lieutenant Max Murray, Ordinance Expert, served in the Boxer wars, a rare judge in men and a master disciplinarian; Captain Stever, the father of the Wisconsin plan for Military Instruction in American public schools; Major Ingraham, expert Tactician and a model in soldierly carriage and demeanor; Major Sturtevant, administrative expert—these and the rest are presided over by Col. C. W. Baltou, a grizzled old veteran of abolition stock who has led Negro troops for years, knows and loves them, because they never failed them. Such is Fort Des Moines, the soul; thrilling, inspiring, the mecca of the Negro's military hopes, and first page of a new volume of black history in white America. At Fort Des Moines, white America and black America have joined hands to pull the black race over a mighty barrier of race prejudice. And such an effort it is! These sons of black women are trying to do in three months what it takes West Point four years to do. These men, in the main, are not job seekers nor draft dodgere. Many are past the draft age. They are patriots and crusaders. Patriots, because they love Old Glory—Lincoln's flag! Crusaders, because they are the leaders of a rising race fighting to rise. And when the call came for Ethiopia to send forth her champions these boys left lucrative positions, deserted paying patients and good clients and threw down the gauntlet to Riley and Plattsburg and Sheridan. They told their instructors, "We ask no mercy, beg no sympathy. We want the same standard of efficiency set here that the white boys must rise to." And it was set. And when the black boys had worked and toiled a few weeks and their marks of efficiency were summed up, I had the life lasting pleasure to hear one of our West Point men say, "You men have made a most remarkable showing." Another one, a Major, stood in the field and cried out, "Boys, you are out of sight." Crusaders, patriots, champions of a rising race! From 5.30 in the morning until 9.00 o'clock at night they drilled and marched with gun and loaded haversack. We fought sham battles, charged with fixed bayonets, stabbing straw men. We went through physical exercises in the broiling sun bareheaded. All this simulate warfare that the men might prove their mental and physical efficiency, their fitness to lead men against that most efficient German fighting machine. The boys are fed on the best, are paid $100 per month for their time and are disciplined until discipline is no more. The Army requires scrupulous cleanliness of body and belongings—and they get it. The Government furnished books free, and such an array of books—books on drill, on firearms, on military law, on map drawing, on science of warfare and so on. All this work was supervised by West Pointers. But the men who are actually whipping the Negro army into shape are the Negro noncoms from the 9th, 10th, 24th and 25th. These heroes of San Juan, the Pacific Isles and Carrizal are all picked by the Government as the finest in the Army. Their shoulders, physical set up, general carriage and grasp of military science mark them as the finest soldiers in the world. They have carried the roll of honor for their race since 61, have worked up in the Army through drudgery from the bottom to the top, and they are now handing down the record untarnished to the younger generation of college bred Negroes. Aside from these lessons, the Training Camps teach this country that a million men can form a mob over night, but not an army of soldiers. The citizens who take his training will readily see the pathos of that miserable fallacy of a million men springing to arms over night. The men who graduate with their commissions have a long way to go before their soldierly ability will measure up to the grade of their commissions whatever rank they get in both the white and black camps. It takes more than ninety day to make a soldier.

Of course, at this time, we cannot write intelligently on the Houston affair between the civilians and members of the 24th Infantry. But, whatever the situation is, it is certain that these Southerners who lynch and burn human beings for a pastime, will be up against it every time they start against these trained soldiers. And it has never been charged against these men that they are not amenable to Army discipline; therefore, in Thursday's riot the provocation must have been great and unbearable. In the meantime we await the facts in the premises. The best Negro journal west of the Rockies is the California Eagle. 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 sane, clean, economically managed company on a most profitable cooperative profit-sharing basis with all the stock risks illiminated. 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 investor 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 don't neglect this one, it means your fortune, and is right within your reach.
