The people of Los Angeles, as ex- sultively announced by the Eagle in last issue, will be highly favored the presence of Colonel Roscoe onkling Simmons, the great orator, Sunday evening, at the historic h and Towne Ave. church. His sub- ct will be "Race Loyalty and Our entry." Colonel Simmons worthily wears mantle of the late Booker T.

The Eagle welcomes to our city is noted leader and we feel highly mored in his coming.

The City Council voted on Thursday to attend the lecture in a body, her prominent city and county of- fials will also be present. Better me early to avoid the rush. Editor and Managing Editor's Trip Through the Great Imperial Valley (continued from last week.) At Imperial it seems that as a re- t of the closing of the border, this vien has fallen heir to the vice of it city, and a regular red light dis- ct is in vogue. As a result of these indi- tions, a wave of crime is the re- t. We could hear of daily hold- s and other crimes being commit- t. The business people of this city, course, are not in sympathy with these conditions, and as we left a- vement was on foot to clean up leaving Imperial we journeyed to Mexico. We were met by Rev. E. Dyer, the wide awake pastor of Christian church of that city, and though the courtesy of the Calexico investment Company we were driven the city by auto, and we were each impressed with the same. The easing surroundings and the business thrift displayed, the homes and apparent industry, and business amenities of the colored people, the od use they were making of their ice and time. We viewed the great cotton compress, with its acres of cotton waiting for the commiss. We then repaired to the beautiful court of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. tt, at whose home it had been arranged by the committee for us to p. and after a short rest and an aptuous repast, we proceeded to Christian church, where the meet which had been arranged for was be held. The people were out in ice, the church being filled to its most capacity. They were most numerous in their reception of the message of both the editor, and manning editor, and at the close of ours, many new subscribers were en for the soaring Eagle. We arranged while at this meeting a correspondent in the person of S. E. J. Lane, one of the progress- and leading citizens of Calexico, are indebted indeed to Rev. Dyer this opportunity. The next day, through the courtesy Mr. E. W. Meyers we were his best for a drive to his ranch some over in Mexico. We had to eat awhile, however, before we got that line, and only from the that we were duly accredited owners of a newspaper and the pervasive powers of Mr. Meyers, who great influence in this section, we succeed in crossing. We were accompanied by Mr. A. J. Fitzrick. We then, aside from visit Mr. Meyers' ranch, were shown great irrigation system of the key, which is in Mexico. The place called Sharps Head, and we viewed great machinery and conduits such cary forward the waters of the ranch river and the Alamo. brazo. He and we visited the offices of returning, we visited the offices of Calexico Investment Company, sed business with its officers and in were off to fill our next enment at El Centro. We are indebted to Mr. Meyers and Mr. patrick for their hospitality, and cannot forget the kindness of Mr. it and his very estimable wife, who so much to make our stay pleas at their home. These two people, king hand in hand as they are, are serving of the greatest success. site here we also met personally Jeffers, who is making great dies and Mr. and Mrs. Webb, who among the foremost citizens. At El Centro driving at El Centro at about 7 ack, we repaired to the residence Mrs. Whitley, formerly of this who is the business woman of Centro, and were directed to the residence of Mrs. Williams, where stopped. was soon time for our meeting, he was held at the Baptist church, place we found filled to hear message. The editor was by this so hoarse that he spoke under a hat, but thanks for a team we able to please the people, and before our effort was not barren The California Eagle of results. We had in our audience at this place R. L. Armstrong, the "Cotton King." Also S. L. Bostick, a big cotton grower; Miss Christman and Miss Barber, teachers in the El Centro schools—these young ladies are making enviable records in their work and the people all speak of them in the highest praise. We also met our friend and former townman, F. B. Alexander; he is making good here, and his wife's health is much improved. We accepted their kind invitation to dinner, and indeed her reputation in the culinary art was not in the least diminished since leaving Los Angeles. On the following day we visited the school at the invitation of Misses Christman and Barber. They had especially invited the school trustees to be present. We addressed the children at length, and both the addresses by the editor and managing editor seemed to please the children immensely. While in El Centro we were shown every courtesy by Miss Christman and Miss Barber. We were their guests at luncheon on this day. Feeling that the presence of the managing editor was needed in Los Angeles at this time, on Thursday evening the managing editor boarded the S. P. train for home, feeling that the trip to the mighty Imperial Valley was really worth while, and feeling that at least our presence had been appreciated, we left pleased. HAVE YOU ANSWERED UNCLE SAM'S CALL? I listened attentively to the address by Mr Motley H. Flint. Tuesday evening, which was very interesting, impressive, and instructive. I left with a deeper sense of the crucial period which we are passing. I came to the conclusion that if there ever was a time when we should ring true that time is now. Calls are being made which urgency demand instant and continuous action. Demands are being made now which exactness touch as never before the springs of sacrifice and devotion. A world is being re-born. Standards are being revised and elevated. Ideals are being purged. Faiths and beliefs are being altered. Life itself is being clothed in a new dress. In common with other American citizens we have been asked to do our bit, to contribute our quota, that victory might be gained, and justice, truth and brotherhood reign. The fiendish hordes of Prussian militarism are galloping, along with devastating fury, while their backs are being lashed with the stinging, cruel and soul-killing whip of Germanic Kultur and a Kaiseristic autocracy. This carbuncle on the neck of the world threatens to putrefy the whole body. This bloody, grimy and awful sore is striving to stain the Stars and Stripes, the emblem of the greatest and grandest republic ever rocked in the crade of civilization. Stop that ravager and destroyer! muzzle that beast, is the united cry of humanity today. To do this is no easy task. Many burdens must be borne, many loads, lifted, many sacrifices must be made, before democracy is made safe for the world. It is possible for every man and woman to help the government in this trying hour. We can all buy the "Thrift Stamps." We can not only push forward the cause of the Allies by doing this heart and soul, but also help ourselves, by preparing for a rainy day, by developing habits of thrift and economy. Time is precious, duty is calling. Do your bit now. Buy the thrift stamps. Help to whip the Kaiser. "Life would have nothing worth to give. Had men not for their duty died; True patriots would scorn to live. If they the sacrifice denied." MOVEMENT FOR FARMING LANDS IN LOWER CALIFORNIA MBETS WITH HEARTY RESPONSE FROM THE PEOPLE The frantic efforts backed by real-ice, envy and hate, to throw cold water on the proposition of the people, who so desire to better their condition by acquiring land and becoming producers instead of consumers, found no solace with the forward locking people of Los Angeles on last Monday evening at the meeting held at Robert's Hall, for the purpose of acquainting the people with the details of this project. The chap- San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland Historic First A. M. E. Church, Where Col. Roscoe Conklin Simmons will speak Sunday Evening el was filled to capacity, chairs were not obtainable for all who came, and after the proposition had been presented by Mr. Macbeth and Mr. Troy, and they described the lands and the proposed manner of obtaining the same, Mr. Troy asked for hands on all who desired to procure these lands, the hands of everyone present with the exception of only two or three who possibly, were only there for curiosity, and came to see the trost, which turned out to be a house warming indeed. The next meeting will be held on Monday evening, the 28th inst., in the People's Auditorium 11th and Los Angeles streets, and as the hall holds 800 people there will be room for all. If developed at this meeting that the proposition to locate our people in Lower California in agricultural lands had the approval of our State department at Washington; and by all the people who desire real progress this movement is endorsed. The Eagle stands for all movements which mean the material advancement of the Race, this is why we urged our people to get in as producers on the lands of Imperial Valley, as these lands would practically be only a handful. We too, welcome this opening for our people to procure land at price within their reach and that they may become independent in their declining years. This land can be acquired for a maximum cost of $15.00 per acre, so fertile and rich is the same that it is possible to clear from 40 acres $5,000.00 per annum. The writer has this information from a resident from there this day. This movement is to our minds a splendid opportunity to better conditions, it is not colonization, is it businessation, and those who desire to and possibly can, will do well to fall in line with the great army which stands for real progress. Their motto is: Produce something. CAMP LEWIS NOTES Mr. Sun Shine visited Mr. and Mrs. Cam P. Lewis Friday and Saturday last week. Mr. Sun Shine is an old acquaintance of the Lewises, who moved here last October from God's country, Southern California. Your correspondent can assure you that Mr. Sun Shine was a welcomed visitor. The boys from Imperial Valley received Christmas boxes. Wednesday from the patriotic citizens of that see- Historic First A. M. E. Church, W mons will speak tion. The boxes contained an assortment of Bishop's sweets, and they were just the thing that a soldier appreciates. A letter from home, pay day and sweets are the soldiers' three favorites. The three things he dislikes most are K. P. kitchen police duty, reville, and doing his own washing. Too much stress cannot be laid on letter writing. In "doing your bit" do not overlook letter writing. Letters play an important role in the making of soldiers. The soldier who receives letters is cheerful and active. The soldier who receives no mail is generally discontented, unhappy and melancholy. Naturally the cheerful, active man makes the good soldier, while the one who receives no mail makes a poor soldier and occasionally a deserter. Do your part in the making of good soldiers. Write to some boy you know. If you don't know any, get the names of some from someone who does know. Do it now. Address your mail correctly. Tons of mail has gone astray or is in the postoffice dead letter department on account of incorrect addresses. The following the correct and only form of address: Private (Corp. or Sergt.) John Brown 49th (50th of 51st) Co. 133 Bn. 41 166 Depot Brigade, Lewis Branch, Tacoma, Wash. Earl Snoddy, Archibald Rainey, Lee Austin, Percy Venable, Hugh Bowdan and Elmer Blackstone were discharged last week on account of physical disabilities. Twenty-six more have been recommended for discharge. Wm Nichols left Friday on a fur lough to attend the funeral of his father, who died jn Los Angeles. Private Nichols has the heartfelt sympathy of the 13th Bn. Cornelius Ballard of El Centro, who has been acting as company clerk for the 51st Co. was discharged Friday on account of physical disabilities. Private Ballard has many friends in the 13th battalion who were sorry to see him go. Mrs James Barr of Santa Barbara, wife of Private James Barr; typist at Bn Hqts, has moved to Tacoma that she might be near her soldier-husband. It is rumored that Lance Corporal Ray Gibson was married in Tacoma Saturday. Facts next week. Private Ed Wilkinson received news of the death of his uncle, Robert Wilkinson, in San Francisco, a few days ago. Wilkinson is expecting a furlough Monday. Private Wilkinson has the sympathy of the Eagle and the men of the 13th Bn. The 49th Co. will give a vaudeville and dance in Tacoma next Saturday night for the benefit of the company mess fund. Corporal Jimmie Thompson is the promoter and Sergt. Clarence Jones will be the floor manager. It is rumored that Private Henry Columbus will be married in Tacoma Wednesday. Facts next week. Corporal Harry Williams is chaufering for Col. Weeks. Alva Garrott, Eugene Reed, Wm. J. Thomas, Walter Norwood, Raymond Isum, Bentley Wylcliffe, Ellis, John Gray and Leroy Busby are clerks in the Depot Brigade post-office. The ban on Seattle has been lifted and many of the boys visited the big city Sunday. A letter brought bad news to Private Snowden. His father was accidentally killed by a train in El Paso, Tex. one day last week. Private Snowden has our sympathy. The colored companies are doing guard duty twice a week now owing to the transfer of so many of the white companies to Linda Vista. The next draft should refill the Depot Brigade and the colored boys will be relieved some of this wearisome duty. The boys of 49th Co. received their second issue of clothing Thursday.

A MATRIMONIAL STEP Contributed to the Eagle by Mrs. C. P. Williams, 1522 E. Adams It's always a step in the darkness, but the step must be taken, friend. We never can fathom or guess when our troubles begin or end. The step can be bravely taken or halt, it's ours to choose. There's no one to blame but ourselves, if we gain in the fight or lose. There is ever a duty awaiting. Tis duty that we alone can master. Why shirk it, since its given to you or me? The soul that shrinks from disaster or quails when it faces defeat, will never walk in the light, or never find its mission complete. The feet that can march straight onward over pitfalls that block the way, that vallantly enter conflicts and march to the thick of the fray; om, friends, these are feet that take us unto heights which our eyes cannot see. The step in the dark once taken has glorified you and me. Oh, what was love made for if it's not the same through joy, through sorrow, through So love in our hearts shall grow mighty and strong, through crosses, through sorrow, through manifold wrong. Should thou be torn from me to wander alone in a desolate land, where the sun is scarce known. Through forest I will follow and where the sea flows; through ice, through iron, through armies or foes. With my light and my sun the threads of our two lives are woven in one. And this turns to a heaven the hut where we dwell, while wrangling soon changes a home to a hell. RECIPROCITY CLUB MEETS The second reciprocity meeting of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs was held at the Sojourner Truth Home-Thursday, Jan. 17, with Mrs. Lulu Slaughter, first vice president, presiding. An interesting board meeting was held in the morning, considering plans for the State Federation, which meets here in August. In the afternoon reports were read from the different clubs. The speaker of the afternoon was Rev C. B Robeson, subject, "Women, the Light That Never Fails," which was most heartily received. Mrs. Seward Simons, secretary of the State Council of Defense, and president of the Friday Morning Club, spoke, inviting the colored club women to join the Council of Defense, as their aid was needed. Noah D. Thompson, representing the National Colored Clubs' Comfort committee, also spoke. He also introduced Mr. McKinney, a distinguished visitor from Manila, P. I., who made a few remarks. Program rendered: Solo, Mrs. Viola Hibbert, Tabernacle Art Club; paper, "Education," Mrs. Olivia Wilson, kissing Art Club; reading, Mrs. Mabel Simmonds, Tabernacle Art Club; instrumental solo, Vernon Art Club; reading, Mrs. L. V. Stewart, Day Nursery. Miss Gladys Harris, chairman of music, presided at the piano. As an incentive to get the club women out to the meetings a prize was offered the club, having the largest attendance. Sojourner Truth Club won the prize, a silver dollar. P. MR. GLOVER SCHULL Of Minneapolis, Minn. The above is an excellent likeness of Mr. Glover Schull, prominent and progressive citizen of Minneapolis, Minn., who, with his wife and two daughters, are sojourning here for the winter, in the balmy climate of the wave washed shore of the Pacific Ocean. This is Mr. Schull's second trip to California. His previous trip was in the role of a hotel worker twenty-eight years ago, when he came to San Diego and worked, for a few months, at the famous Florence Hotel in that city. Mr. Schull's life reads like fiction. Born in the backwoods of Missouri near Carthage, he was reared in Chillicothe, left home at an early age, and came to Kansas City; worked at old jobs. While here he met Miss Lillian Brown, member of one of the leading families of Wichita, Kas. They pligged their troth and journeyed to Minneapolis, Minn., where he arrived with $30, but undaunted with a little thing like a shortage of funds, he entered the business arena of that city, and step by step he grew until today he maintains a business which we have been told is worth at least $10,000 per year. He owns handsome property in the Twin City, and as president of the Waiters and Porters' Club of that city, has demonstrated that it is both possible and profitable to conduct such an institution on a high plane. Travelers from all over the land who visit Minneapolis are enthusiastic in praise of this institution. Mr. Shull, his estimable wife, and two beautiful and accomplished daughters, who are graduates of the Central High School of Minneapolis, are delighted with Los Angeles, and will remain until the middle of March before returning to their home. He is a staunch race man and one of the strong forces for race advancement in the bailiwick in which he resides. CALIFORNIA BOYS MAKE GOOD D. Geo. Taylor of Pasadena is spending a few days at his home at 961 South Fain Oaks, having come home on account of sickness from Gibson, N. M., where he and many other California boys are employed by a large mining corporation. Going to Gibbon, N. M. during a The Man of The Hour walk-out by 2000 I. W. W.'s, some of these boys got in on the ground floor and are now holding positions which are denied us here in California. Being thrifty, energetic and full of pep, these boys are making good and holding their own. Within the last two months five or six out of twenty-eight that went to the mines from California, viz., Duarte, Monrovia, Pasadena and Los Angeles, have been called to the colors, and have responded very willingly. Snow stands in New Mexico between two and four inches deep at this writing. Wonder why the California boys don't return to Sunny California? There's a reason. Coal costs employees only $2.50 per, and the salaries are handsome and very substantial during these war times. Herbert L. Rainey of Pasadena, who has a fractured arm from an accident in the mines, is up and about again. Junius Fisher of Monro.ia drives a truck for the company and is giving efficient service. Dock Taylor of Pasadena, who is employed in the mining company's warehouse, is performing his dutices splendidly. The remainder of the boys are doing equally as well in their line of work, and send regards to all readers of the California Eagle.

Mrs. Walker, the wife of Rev. T. Walker, is ill at her home on L St. Rev. Donahoo, after three weeks in Reese Hospital, is home again, much improved. Rev. S. E. Edwards was the new minister at A. M. E. church Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The sermons were powerful and we feel greatly blessed over his coming. During his stay in the city he was the guest of Mr. J. I. Pinkney. Mrs. Ophelia Boswell, after spending several months in Los Angles, is home again. All the young set are glad to welcome her home, glory and shame? I know not. I ask not if guilt's in thy heart I know that I love thee whatever thou art. Then come the wild weather, come sleet or come snow, we will stand by each other, however it blow. Oppression and sickness and sorrow, and pain shall be to our lives as a link to a chain. As the palm tree stands so straight and so tall, the more the hail beats the more the rain falls. THE GREAT FASHION SHOW AT INDEPENDENT CHURCH GRAND SUCCESS The concert given at the Independent church Wednesday evening was a splendid success. The church was crowded to its capacity. There was a gorgeous array of beautiful gowns, a violin solo by Mr. John Mitchell, solo by Miss Joy Washington, duet by Mrs. M. Osborne and I. Butler. Miss Fannie Wilson presided at the piano. At the close of the program Mr. Shackleford presented Mrs. Adah I. Clement of Denver, who directed the program, with a beautiful token and some California roses, in appreciation of his interest and as an invitation to return to California again soon. What the Churches are Doing I SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH MAPLE AVE. The Sunday school was largely attended last Sunday and the newly appointed teachers, were delightfully at work. In a very appropriate address by Supt. S. P. Johnson, Mr. Groves, the former incumbent, was presented with a purse of gold, the gift of the school. Mr. Groves' reply was well received. The Rev. Dr. Mackey of New York occupied the pulpit at the 11 o'clock, services, and greatly benefited the large audience. Dr. Mackey is in the city on a visit, and at the same time introducing his wonderful remedy for the sick and afflicted. He is a personal friend of Dr. Prowd, and a most reliable minister. The Young People's Meeting was greatly enlivened by the service of the piano, and the young people had a splendid and instructive program. Last Wednesday night the officers were installed and a banquet followed. The Missionary Society and the Ladies of the Church deserve much credit. Dr. Prowd will occupy the pulpit this Sunday, and it is expected the Lord will be on hand to bless. Let us not forget the Grand Dollar Rally for the Old Folk's Home. Come and help us free the house of debt. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Cor. 18th and Paloma Sts. Rev. N. P.

Robinson, to which those attending were asked to wear a "smile" throughout the afternoon or pay a forfeit when caught without smiling. A large card was placed so as to be seen on entering the door displaying the word "smile" in bright red letters, which reminded the guests of their duty. Quotations containing the word "smile" were used as place cards and created no small amount of merriment. Those bidden to enjoy this playing affair were MOR. by this pleasing charm we dessames T.

Monrovia The idea that Governmentment control of railroads by the present Administration would for a moment give all of its citizens equal right as interstate passengers, or the abolition of the Jim Crow car was only a dream. Our associates are asking today for 25 per cent more meat and fats than we consider our monthly production permits us to send them without trenching on our own supplies; or, on the other hand, unless we consume less. Every particle of diminished consumption by the American people is one particle more for the soldiers, men, women and children, our associates in this war, and for the starving people in other countries. This is a personnel obligation upon every one of us toward some individual abroad who will suffer privation to the extent of our own individual negligence. The gum shoe statesman, Senator Stone, who is now trying to do politics in the U. S. Senate in preference to prosecuting the war as it should be, will get all of that he wants. The Republicans have been very considerate indeed, and have eschewed politics to the possible detriment of the prosecution of the war; but now Senator toneS, the Unterrified, from Missouri, has spilled the coffee and the political fight is on and the Democrats are due for a lacing. We must not overlook the fact that Russia collapsed, not because of the Germans on our borders, but largely because of the failure to organize and feed her own citizens; and, if we are to emerge victorious from this war, we cannot risk the collapse of another of our cofighters from the same cause. There is no waste of food among our associates in this war; there is the most drastic reduction in its consumption; there is actual privation among our women and children—there is starvation in Belgium. The problem of saving in feed is a local and individual one, so that more precise and dfinite rules just to all cannot be formulated. It is a matter for the consciencious consideration of evrey individual that he or she should eat only that which is necessary for bodily health and strength, and unselfishly to select those foodstuffs the use of which relieves international necessities. In this winter of 1918 lies the period when there will be tested, in this great free country of ours, the question as to whether or not our people are capable of voluntary individual sacrifices to save the world. Food has now taken a dominant position in the war, and we must ask the American people to sacrifice far more than was first thought necessary. We have exported the whole of the surplus of the wheat from this harvest after reserving an amount for ourselves sufficient for our normal consumption of seed and flour until the next harvest. In other words, every grain of wheat or its products that our associates in this war receive from the United States from now on will be exactly the amount which our people have saved each month on their behalf. Remember the gospel of the clean plate, the serving of small portions, the purchase of less supplies. HOARDING—Any person in the United States who buys more more foodstuffs or fuel than he customarily keeps at home in peace times is defeating the government in its purpose to secure a just distribution of food and fuel in its great endeavors to reduce prices. The hoarding of food or fuel in households is not only unnecessary, as the Government is protecting the food supply of our people, but it is selfish and is a cause of high prices. Such actions, multiplied by thousands, increase the demands upon our railways for cars already, because of our military demands; it is with extreme difficulty we can now move the necessary food to markets. Uncle Sam is today the quartermaster of a hungry world. He is playing the game squarely and counts on you to do the same. The American people cannot expect more than their share of the food supply, which for 1918 does not measure up to expectations. It is now time for every American to get these facts by heart. In order that you may know the facts, the United States Food Administration from time to time issues statements and announcements which are printed in the newspapers for the information of the American people. The fuel Administration and Herbert Hoover, in giving you the facts of the food situation, believe that you have the courage to face the truth and adjust your household to new war sacrifices. As the war goes on and the need becomes greater, we Americans must be ready for greater sacrifices. More than ten million familiars have pledged themselves to help make the food go around. This pledge, unless we interpret patriotism as mere lip loyalty and insincere affectation, it is a pledge to service as real as that of the soldier. The pledge card is not a mere scrap of paper, but the pledge of the American women to stand by the declaration of war. Men, help the women. HAVE YOU JOINED THE ARMY? Thousands of our boys are already fighting the Huns in France. Other thousands—yes, hundreds of thousands—are training in great cantonments to go abroad as soon as the ships can be provided for them. And a million more are building these ships or making rifles and cannon, cartridges and shells. All are serving, in a way, in the Army of Freedom. But have YOU joined—you who have to remain at home; you bread-winners, you women, you children? There is a place for you in the great Army of Thrift that must back up the men in the trenches. You, too, can serve; you can serve by saving, by doing without things things you do not need, by sacrificing useless luxuries? Uncle Sam has given you your opportunity to serve by inviting you to buy War Savings and Thrift Stamps. He asks you to save your money and help him by lending him the money you save. He will pay you good interest. Learn the lesson of Thrift. Practice it every day. Become a partner with your government in the prosecution of the war. Enlist TODAY in the THRIFT ARMY. The Sunflower State Agricultural Association, composed of the colored farmers of Kansas, hold a meeting recently in Topeka Industrial and Educational Institute, Topeka, Kansas, and by unanimous vote declared support to the United States Food Administration, urging full cooperation of the Kansas farmers and other members of the race to the Government in its gigantic task of fighting for world-wide freedom. President William R. Carter of the Association told the farmers that it was their task to help win the war. "We are a part of this great country," said President Carter, "and it is up to us to respond to every call made by our President through any department of the Government. All the world insists that food must play an important and essential part. "Since it is food, then food we are going to have, and the farmers of Kansas intend to see that it is furnished. These young men are going into the fields—those who do not, go into the trenches, and become producers as well as consumers. They will produce more than they consume, for they retilize that there are sons and brothers in the trenches and on the battlefield who must be fed." Poultry, farm and industrial displays attracted the attention of many who attended the conference. Women showed by demonstrations how they could help win the war, and how easy it is to observe the meatless and wheatless days and still remain happy. "Poultry raising must be given special attention this spring," declared J. G. Grove, the 'Negro Potato King' from Edwardville, Kansas, "because poultry and eggs must, to a considerable degree, take the place of meat on meatless days. There is a great demand for poultry at present, and it will be still greater in the future." ATTENTION!

Norwood Many do with opportunity as children do at the seashore—they fill their little hands with sand, then let the grains fall through one by one, till they are all gone. Four things come not back: the spoken word, the sped arrow, the past life, and the neglected opportunity. Opportunity has hair in front, behind she is bald. If you seize her by the forelock you may hold her, but if allowed to escape, it will be impossible to catch her again. Opportunities are the offers of God. Heaven gives us enough when it gives us opportunity. If you think your opportunities are not good enough, you had better improve them. Remember, you are responsible for talents, for time and for opportunities. Make Hay while, the sun shines. As a general rule, those who have no opportunities despise small ones; and those who despise small opportunities never get large ones. Now is the time to use your opportunities; for what may be done at any time will be done at no time. It is not accident that helps a man in the world, but purpose and persistent industry. These make a man sharp to discern opportunities, and turn them to account. Every negro woman and man in San Diego should avail themselves of the opportunity of subscribing for the California Eagle; and if in business of any kind, use the opportunity to increase your businesses twofold by advertising through the California Eagle.

The two lodges participating in the above occasion were McCullough Lodge No. 1 and Golden West Lodge No. 2. Officers were installed as follows: McCullough Lodge; Grant Smith, W. M.; A. J.

An encouraging number of elderly people may be found in school every evening, earnestly striving to learn. It is a real pleasure to teachers to to labor with such diligent seekers after knowledge. Messrs. Reeves and Westheimer were welcome visitors at the school this week. Miss Pauline Slater is very enthusiastic in her work, and her pupils are evidently very proud of her. The Government is in search of young men and women prepared to fill stenographic and clerical positions. The East 51st Street Evening School is in quest of young men and women who would like to qualify for these positions. It is rather discouraging to find so few young people who seem to scent the keen morning air of these new times. It is discouraging to find so few young people who are awake and eager to better themselves to make ready for the new opportunities of the new day. Young people, awake! arise! prepare! If a little education is a good thing, more education is better. If you cannot go to day school, then go to night school. If you cannot go to day school, then go to night school. Bear in mind, young people, in the future it is going to require a certain amount of education to fill even the humblest places. This should not be disquieting thought for citizens of Los Angeles when schools of the best grade are open day and night, free to all. The school is arranging a course of lectures for the benefit of the people of this vicinity. Some of the leading business, professional and successful men of other avenues will be invited to speak on subjects of vital importance to the race. We hope to make this a branch of our school work from which the people shall garther great good. CALIFORNIA CONFERENCE CALIFORNIA DISTRICT, A. M. E.
