ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS MAKES NOTABLE ADDRESS thusiasm of Vast Multitude Has No Bounds—Acclaim Him the Moses of the Race The scenes enacted at the historic north and Towne avenue church on Sunday evening beggars descrip- tion and the eagerness of the people hear this far-famed orator caused gathering of some twelve hundred people to stand cooped up in the largest possible space for more than four hours awaiting his message, and ally when the time arrived for his appearance every ear was tilted that it the slightest syllable would be beused, and they hung on the sense of the address. "My Country, Flag," and never for one moment this keen interest lag. The address was up to the highest expecta- tion and throughout its delivery, the obvious points which he drove home are received with tremendous apuse, from the moment he began he has on easy terms with this great intelligence and for nearly two hours eat and stood spellbound under matchless and forceful eloquence. Everything by way of preliminary numbers was carried out with neatness and dispatch common to the service at this church. The vested choirs in excellent trim and furnishederal numbers in keeping with the occasion. Rev. J. Logan Craw, as sister of ceremonies, was the right in the right place. Rev. J. H. C. add offered prayer, and then Rev. Jaw presented Major W. H. Loving, so very creditably indeed introduced noted and distinguished orator: The following are a few excerpts on this wonderful address: In the changing scenes of time, in cups and downs of civilization, in movements of human leadership, and all who are with me in hope, stains chains, will yet advance to the sins of liberty. Having endured is long, we will endure on to the lord, for the end will not be as long the beginning. In the morning of time this land is picked and ordained as the home men. The images of God are to be cherered here in one grand government, under one law: one Constitution, one destiny! All tribes of men bringing to the universal home genius as was their from the est. Mine is the race that offers the science of Gethsemane and the suffering of Golgotha. That is sublime. I am a Negro. An hundred years since that name will shine among the words with the mystic light of an enning star. That name will tell the andest story of the weary climber in slavery to freedom the world has arned. First slavery and then sedom; that is the story of the life man. Why, then, should I be named? We are living in the golden hour of time. We live in the only free country the world has ever known. Ours the only flag that flies the stars oferty. We live side by side with American white man, the most vanced representative of humanity at civilization can boast. My faith is planted in the promise God and in the growing justice of American white man. I will kill the monster of Lincoln and it on my change! The bugle calls and the drums beat, d I am on my way across the seas seek my foe and ask him if he ows what Jefferson meant when his n struck the great Declaration. I ask him if he has read of Grant D Lee and Carney. I will ask him his military schools carry a record the Ninth and Tenth, and the centy-fourth and Twenty-fifth. If answers no, I will proceed to show what a soldier is. Instructing the foe in courage. I I'll teach my country from the golden ok of devotion. For my people I ask for nothing pm my government, save that chains taken from my hands, and the rope en from around my neck." COL. ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS The Eagle has not spared its space exploit the presence of this dis- guished leader who has honored with his presence during this week. He do this because he is in every worthy of all that has and can said about him. The writer has get all of our great characters in the quarter of a century, and as bril- tant and versatile as they have been, phonons measures up to the highest stable standard and that means a sole lot. He is thoroughly demote- d and his highest ambition seems to do the greatest good for the great mass of our people. He has not play to the galleries, but is other one of us all the way. We are never yet met one of our great men who was so unselfish. Tribute to tribute he has to us paid others his shine and are in the forefront as a great admirer of Dr. W. T. Tennon and speaks enthusiastically of The California Eagle the great service he has rendered Memphis. Also of Robert Church and his service in the same section; of Nelson Crews and other great leaders. We certainly appreciate this spirit and these traits among the many other noble ones that go to make him the giant he is. After his address Sunday, in company with Major W. H. Loving, he will leave for Oakland, where he speaks at the Auditorium on Monday evening, and from there will go direct to St. Louis and other eastern points to fill engagements.

SIMMON'S ADDRESS LAST SUNDAY EVENING Turn your gun off of me, and on the Germans; I am not after you. I can tell you how to end this war, put Gompers in jail, give each congressman a gun and each senator a hoe, adjourn congress, the war will end. It will take a long, tall, brown skin man in khaki to make the Kaiser lay down his sword. Some say they are not fighting the Germans but it is the German Government they are fighting. But not so with me. I am fighting the German people, and to win, this war we might as well wake up to the fact that we must fight the German people. I am not so sure that all of our enemies are in Germany, in fact, I know they are not. B. Y. P. U. FEDERATION Gives Grand Reception in Honor of Mr. S. P. Johnson, Mrs. C, A. Bass-and J. Allen Reese On last Thursday night at Normandy Hall, a fashionable and fond invitation in the form of a reception was given by the various unions of the Baptist young people of Los Angeles county, in honor of Mr. S. P. Johnson, the founder of the B. Y. P. U. Federation, Mrs. C. A. Bass, the first president of the Federation, and Mrs. J. Allen Reese, the present president of the Federation. A most excellent program was prepared and rendered. The program was as follows: Invocation, Rev. Eldridge; chorus; young people, directed by Rev. A. J. Williams; instrumental solo, Miss McKnight, of Pasadena; chorus; address on behalf of the young people of the various churches of the city, Mr. P. W. Ridgeway; instrumental trio, Paul Eldridge, Emma Garrett, Rev. A. J. Williams; address on behalf of the S. S. Union of Los Angeles county, Mr. Lee Copney; chorus; address on behalf of the business and professional men of Los Angeles, Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth; chorus; responses were made by Mr. Johnson, Mrs. Bass and Mr. Reese, the recipients of the honorary occasion. The entire program was forthy of much commendation. The choruses directed by Rev. Williams were much to the fond appreciation of the audi- R ORIG San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, FEBRUARY 2, 1918 ence, was composed of small children who sang well. Miss McKnight's instrumental solo was very pleasing. Mr. Ridgeway's address was a thrilling advice as to the study and practice of sanitary conditions for health among our young people. The instrumental trio by Paul Eldridge, Emma Garrett and Rev. A. J. Williams brought, cheers of appreciation. Mr. Lee Copney's address on behalf of the S. S. Union was very practical and was food for thought among the young, workers in the Baptist Young 1890 People's opinions as well as in the Sunday School Union. He showed from financial statistics the money that has been raised each year by the Sunday school picnics; how more than three-fourths had gone into the white man's hand on account of the failure of the colored people to see the necessity of preparing pleasure resorts and conveyances for the accommodation of our people. His talk was an exemplification of more truth than poetry. The address by Attorney Macbeth on behalf of the business and professional men of Los Angeles was filled with inspiration and contained wholesome advice. Excellent commendations were given the Baptist Young People for their initiative in making such a favorable demonstration. Congratulations were made to the honorable officers, in whose behalf the reception was given, for the faithfulness and worthy showing they have made as heads of the Federation. The Federation is composed of the following Unions: Second Baptist, Mt Zion, Tabernacle, New Hope, Shiloh, St. Paul, Pleasant Hill, Mt Olivet, Watts, Monrovia, Trinity First Baptist of Venice, Metropolitan and Friendship of Pasadena. The Unions that contributed financially to the success of the reception are as follows. Second Baptist, Mt Zion, Tabernacle, New Hope, Monrovia, Boyle Heights, Watts, First Baptist Church of Venice. The committee who acted for the reception were C. A. Biggers, chairman, Lee Copney, A. J. Willighs, Mrs. Venita Clairbrom, Mrs. H. R. Skates, assisted by Mrs. McMickin, Mrs. A. J. Williams and 'Mrs. Eldridge. Mr. S. J. Johnson, Founder of B. Y. P. I. Federation. Mr. J. Allen Reese, the Present President of the B. Y. P. U. Federation Mrs. C. A. Bass, First President of the B. Y. P. U. Federation Prof. C. A. Biggers, Master of Ceremonies at Reception WHAT'S THE TROUBLE? Some weeks ago a watchman at the court house assaulted one of the elevator men while he had a load of passengers aboard. It is said it was a cowardly assault, he striking the elevator man from behind. We called attention to the affair at the time. We were told by the head janitor that Superintendent Davidson would do the right thing, but we now learn he has don absolutely nothing, and Beatz has not even been reprimanded. Now we do not believe that the civil service or the board of supervisors will stand for such as this for a moment. At any rate we are again calling attention to the same. All we ask for is a square deal and that some sort of punishment be meted out to any man who while in the county's employ assaults a fellow employee. Supt. Davidson may be all right, but we are from Missouri and must be shown. We had some experience in the case of Rickettts who was 'sum moned from that office to accept a civil service' job as chauffeur and when he turned out to be a colored man the job vanished. EAGLE ATTACHE GRADUATES Mr. John E. Prowd, son of the Rev. Dr. Prowd and a part of the staff of this paper, was one of the graduates of the Polytechnic High School on last Wednesday evening. The commencement exercises were held at Trinity Auditorium. Mr. Prowd held a high mark in his class and graduated with high honors. This speaks well for this splendid young man, who although striving to keep up with his studies, held a man's place in the office; keeping track of the great big mailing list of this plant is no small job, but young Prowd has with signal success attended to that duty, worked in the office on Saturday and kept up the major part of our collections. His success is an object lesson for others. We congratulate him upon his success and expect to hear from him the best reports at all times. Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 13, 1918. To the Officers and Members of the Second Baptist Sunday School: Greetings: We your committee appointed to draw up resolutions touching on the service of our ex-Superintendent, Bro. J. D. Groves, beg leave to submit the followings: Whereas, Bro. J. D. Groves has served the Second Baptist Sunday School of the Second Baptist Church, faithfully and untimely for the past seventeen years, and. Whereas, During the seventeen years he has had to bear much as a Servant of God that his work as Superintendent might be effective, and. Whereas, We know it has been the desire of his heart at all times to teach the Word of God as seen, understood and acknowledged by the Baptist Denomination thus training the children up, not only to be acknowledged Christians, but as good Baptists, be it. Resolved. That in his retirement as Superintendent, he carry with him the sincere prayer and best wishes of the Sunday School, for a continual faithfulness as a Christian, and as a S. S. Worker, and that he fails in nothing that is good, that brings true happiness to us as Christians, be it further. Resolved. That as an expression of our appreciation for his valuable services we present him with twenty ($20.00) dollars in gold* that will serve at least to cover some of the much car fare paid out by him while serving the School. COLONEL ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS Will Speak for the Citizens of Los Angeles Sunday Afternoon at First M. E. Church, Sixth and Hill Sts. Yielding to the wishes of the people of Los Angeles that they be given the opportunity of hearing him again before his departure to the east, Col. Roscoe Simmons has kindly consented to speak to them Sunday at 3 o'clock at the above mentioned church, which was procured through the kindness of Dr. Charles Locke, the eminent pastor of the same.

COLONEL ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS The Man of the Hour. The Patriot of Patriots. The Pride of a Race. The Man with a Message. The Torch-hearer of Hope. The Personification of Inspiration. The Offspring of Ham. The Lover of Country. The Believer in God. Such a composite figure favors us with his thrilling presence. To sit at his feet is a blessing. To feel the force of his personality is to be uplifted, inspired and encouraged. To digest his message means a clarified vision, a more hopeful outlook and a former grasp on the fundamentals of progress, faith in the triumph of right, belief in one's self, a love for humanity. Thou leader of a people willing to follow. Thou thriller of souls who long to reach the heights of civilization and progress. Thou exemplifier of what a black boy can do and be if he tries. Work on in the name of justice, truth and righteousness. Eight the battles of humanity with a vam and vigor born of confidence in God and country. Speak, yes continue to speak to the loyal sons of Ham. Speak, yes continued to speak to the white man in the language of truth and some day "when the doors of that Jim Crow car have been opened, the chains taken from around our wrists, the ripe taken from around our neck." We will stand anywhere upon the face of God's green earth, wave the Stars and Stripes over our heads and sing as never before. "My country, its of thee, sweet land of liberty." We honor you, we receive you, we love you. We say of you as was said of your preceptor in younger days.

ROLAND HAYES AMERICA'S GREATEST TENOR, COM- ING TO LOS ANGELES The Sojourner Truth Club is to be congratulated upon its success in securing the services of Mr. Roland Hayes who will appear at Blanchard Hall in concert, February 11th. Mr. Hayes, who has sung before Boston and New York's largest concert audiences, is classed as if not the best, along the best tenor singers in the United States. Not only Sojourner Truth but the people of Los Angeles and all California should feel complimented in the fact that Mr. Hayes will be their THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 51 Tenor At Sojourner Truth. Monday afternoon the main auditorium of the club house was packed to its utmost capacity. Col. Simmons was expected, but "His Royal Highness" failed the anxious audience upon this occasion. Mrs. J. H. Wilson presided with great dignity and pleased the writing audience with a splendid literary program consisting of a piano selection by Miss Anderson of Seattle, a piano selection by Miss Hart of Pasadena, reading (from Dunbar) by Mr. A. D. Bowers; piano solo, by little Miss Williams; an address by Capt. McKinney of Manila, which was intensely interesting and filled with food for thought. Mr. McKinney spoke in glowing terms of the American race women who had settled at Manila. Even though many were disappointed because Col. Simmons did not appear, the program rendered was enjoyed by all present. There will be a joint meeting of the club-business and board. All members are urged to be present. Mrs. A. J. Booker, of Des Moines, Ia., is a very welcome visitor in our midst. The day had been a cold one; towards the close, just as the sun was receding beyond the western horizon, casting its last rays demurely, upon the surface of the water of Lake Erie, our attention was called to a ship which at anchor lay in the port at Buffalo. It was there that the lovers of nature and the seekers of beautiful scenery, came to embark in ships that ply the Great Lakes from Buffalo, N. Y. to Duluth, Minnesota. The city of Buffalo is a great railroad center. It seems that the interminable chain, of railroads, leading from all sections of our country have chosen that city as a terminal. Many travelers, wishing to reach middle and extreme western points, go as far as the city of Buffalo by train, and thence by boat to the end of the steamship company's line, where they must again mount trains in order to come farther westward. Shortly after sunset the cold become more piercing and the latent heat, beginning to subside, left nothing that could defy the chilly assaults of the bold December weather. At six-thirty the attendant removed the rope that served as cross-bar to prevent the entrance of passengers until some official arrived to inspect the tickets for proper designation. Passengers were filing in thick and fast. Everyone complained of the cold, but on reaching the spacious salons of the Steamer "Juaniata" they were forced to remark how pleasant and comfortable everything was. Steam heat sizzed through the lattice plates of the radiators; electric lights shared throughout the full extent of the steamer. On the library table the leading periodicals, newspapers and magazines of the country had been arranged for the entertainment and instruction of fastidious readers of literature and current topics. In the dining hall twenty-five Colored waiters, who at the signal from their chief had stationed themselves at their post, stood like ebony statues. With immaculate white shirts and collars, a port-au-soir tie in bow fashion and a tuxedo suit, the height of fashion for an evening's entertainment, these twenty-five men presented a scene that added greatly to the impressions of the guests of the Jumata. In the main salon, on port side of the ship, a string orchestra of eight pieces was playing excerpts from that then most popular light opera, "My Hero." The last persons to reach the salon were the Bradshaws, a family that had come from New York City and, who were making the trip up the Great Lakes for the first time. In company with Mr. and Mrs. Bradshaw there were two daughters, Margaret and Catherine. The orchestra was just finishing the last period of the celebrated waltz refrain. "I Love You Only, Hero Mine," and Margaret with her deep dramatic contralto voice joined in with the music and sang the little strain with such intense, pathetic expression that the attention of everybody around her was attracted. She was a winsome girl, her face round and full, gave expression to a deep-seated emotion and love for the true and the beautiful in life and love, and around a pair of blue eyes hung a soft penetrating expression. Though taller than the average, her height did not detract from the charming grace and degnity of carriage. She was full of those presture virtues that emphasized her aloof in the spirit of independent womanhood. Seven o'clock the gang plank had been, pulled in and the Juniata set out upon which promised to be a stormy trip. (To be continued) What the Churches are Doing --- PAGE TWO Rev. J. W Price, Pastor. The services at this church last Sunday were very pleasing as well as the attendance. Sunday will be communion day and a large number is expected to be present. We are expecting to have with us Sunday, Feb. 3, our distinguished Dist. Supt of S. S., in the person of Mrs. John R. Wright of Pasadena, on her official visit. The usual services Sunday; all are welcome to this church. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. Chuurch. Sunday was quarterly meeting day at this church an Presiding Elder. Seldon preached at both services.

Mackey, who will preach for us, and a treat is in store for all who attend. Dr. Mackey is a fluent preacher and doubtless the members will be out in large numbers to hear him. The congregational singing continues to delight all hearers. Visitors and friends are always welcome to the services of this church. TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH The Holy Ghost was present at all of the services, at the Tabernacle Baptist Church last Sunday, beginning with the sunrise prayer meeting, Deacon Johnson, conductor. This service is a service of inspiration. Much good is being done. The Sunday school was largely attended and the subject, "Jesus Forgiving Sin." The discussion was very timely and many good things were brought out concerning the lesson. The Sunday afternoon prayer meeting, Bro. Forster, conductor. Much good is being done at this service. After this service a beautiful baptismal service, conducted by the pastor, At 6:30 p. m. the P. Y. P. U. was called to order by the president, Sister Annie Lewis. The lesson was ably discussed. This union is becoming a center of attraction. A very able program was rendered. At 11 a.m. our pastor, Dr. J. D. Gordon, preached a very timely sermon. Subject, "But that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sin." Mark 2:10. At the evening service Pastor Gordon's subject was: "Teaching thou to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, and lo. I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Matthew 28:20. Pastor Gordon preached a soul-stirring sermon. The doctor was at his best. There were three accession to the church during the day. Next Sunday, at the morning service, covenant meeting will be in progress. At the evening service Dr. Gordon will preach and the Lord's Supper will be celebrated. BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST The morning service at this church was especially beneficial to all present. The pastor explained to Christians the need of their faith in Christ. They should have faith enough to know He can forgive sin and also heal. Rev. Washington advised all present to read Maark 2.10, 11, and to realize the need of a greater gift of faith to be poured on the church. The choir is still improving. Come and hear them. Services at 9:45 a.m. m. 11:30 a.m. m. 7:30 p.m. CHRIST TABERNACLE All services at this church were well attended last Sunday. The afternoon sermon was especially for Christian believers. Dr. Jones explained just what a Christian's duty is toward his fellowman. Beginning next Sunday there will be a series of protracted meetings for the sake of sinners. Come and hear some wonderful sermons. Services 6 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7:30 p. m., and every night. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH Last Snuday marked the first step in the drive for $3000 on the part of the church to meet the conditional donation of $1000 by the Los Angeles City Missionary Society, on our indebtedness. $190 was raised during the day. In the morning the pastor preached his first anniversary sermon on "Eye Hath Not Seen." It was said by many to be one of his most effective sermons. On account of a misunderstanding on the part of the district superintendent as to the evening service, he failed to arrive. The pastor, however, preached very acceptably on "Naaman, the Leper." Many who did not pay their anniversary dollars promised to do so this Sunday. As this Sunday is near pay day, a large number of anniversary dollars will be expected. This Sunday is Communion Sunday. the pastor's morning subject will be, "The Mind of Christ." In the evening Rev. N. A. Mackey, D. D., former pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church; New York City, will preach. Hear this wonderful man, whom God has SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH MAPLE AVE. The increased attendance at Sunday School was most encouraging. Banners for early, and largest class attendance, also largest offering will be another of the new features. Quite an inspiring discourse was presented by Dr. Prowd at 11 a.m. The text was from Jer. 1X:1. Truly it was a time for heart searchings. The young people had a splendid program. Arrangements were made for a reception to be tendered the President, Mr. John Prowd and Mr. Ferdie Thompson, next Thursday night, in coronial recognition of their graduation from the High School. The evening services were a veritable blessing. One united with the church. Dr. Prowd will occupy his pulpit Sunday morning and baptize some candidates at the close.

The pastor will sing his favorite song, "The Man of Galilee," at the evening service. Hear it. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Sunday was another glorious day at the People's Independent Church of Christ. At the morning service Pastor Greggs delivered a masterful sermon on the subject, "Jesus Forgiving Sin". In the evening Rev. Nathan Price spoke on the subject, "Being Led by the Spirit." Prof. Thomas L. Johnson of the Detroit Conservatory of Music made his initial appearance as choir director. He also rendered a solo at each service that thrilled the audience on both occasions. The addition of Mr. Johnson will materially strengthen this great choir and at the same time relieve Pastor Greggs of the stringent duties of choir director which he has so faithfully and efficiently performed. The first quarterly church conference of the year was held on last Monday evening, and a great inspiring meeting it was. That this church is still climbing the grand old ladder of success was very strikingly evidenced by the glowing reports submitted to this conference. The present membership is 696. Total receipts for the quarter, $204170. Total balance, $150243. FIRST A. M. E. CHUCH Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor A magnificent congregation greeted the pastor at the morning service and ask the close of the sermon four persons united with the church. In the evening the big religious and patriotic meeting with the pastor in charge of ceremonies, and Hon Roscoe Conkling Simmons, orator, scholar and statesman, the distinguished speaker, was the grandest meeting of its kind ever held in the historic First Church. Every available space was jammed and packed, while thousands of people were turned away. As the mantle of Elijah fell on Elisha, so has the mantle of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington fallen upon his nephew, the Hon R. C. Simmons, and blessings upon humanity are being bestowed wherever his voice is heard in patriotic speech. Our large accomplished choir evoked a deserving compliment from this noted speaker. Commission services will be conducted Sunday by the pastor with preaching at each worship. Don't let your seat be vacant at the Lord's supper table. The First A. M. E. Church War Stamp Saving Society was organized by the pastor Monday night. Mr. Edward Lee, efficient postal clerk, was elected president, and Miss Marguerite James temporary secretary. Next meeting Monday night, Feb. 25. You are welcome to join. Alter Endeavor Song Service Sunday evening at 6 o'clock. Don't miss it. A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Rev. B. C. Robeson, Pastor Pico and Paloma Sts. Pico and Paloma Streets "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life." These words were the basis of a burning message on the manner in which Satan pays his laborers. Three points mentioned were. 1. Sin always pays its debt. 2. It decries by promising joy and giving sorrow, success and gives failure, life and gives death. 3. God's great gift: it cannot be purchased, or worked, but is an expression of God's love. Tomorrow promises to be a day of great blessing. Zion's choir will be at its best. Come and be thrilled. At 11 a.m. the subject will be, "Picking Up Sticks." At 8 p.m., "The Power of Memory." At 8 p.m., "The Power of Memory." At a thriving Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. Send the children.

This far-famed orator, statesman and scholar has come to Los Angeles, and he has most certainly lived up to his great reputation as such to the utmost. He has made for himself, in Los Angeles, a name that will go down the ages resplendant with all the garnishings of a leader of men; and as Booker T. Washington has gone to join the illustrious dead, a worthy successor is found in Col. Roscoe C. Simmons—a MOSES who has taken his place, and with even more enthusiasm and fervor is preaching the gospel which the Wizard of Tuskegee gave forth. Like the mighty Douglass, Roscoe Conkling Simmons, with his matchless oratory, is the man of the hour, and his message is making a sentiment which cannot help but redound to the everlasting advancement of all the peoples of this country. He is an adept in the art of reaching the vital spot of the white folk by hurling at them the damning wrongs and injustice against the Negro, for which they are responsible; yet, he gives it to them in such a way that they not only cannot take offense, but become loyal boosters of Simmons' doctrines. The California Eagle is proud of Col. Simmons' visit; we appreciate the opportunity of Los Angeles to hear him; we like his talk; we like his plain, everyday democracy, his interest in the masses of his people and his intense desire, at all times, to meet them.

The movement for the Colored people to make the state some real PRODUCERS, instead of mere CONSUMERS, and that the acquisition of the fertile soil is the only thing that about, is making commendable progress.

A true to it one of these gentry would dare face any of the promoter movement with that charge. Last Monday's meeting is a bake of the feeling of the people; their patriotism is such that they produce something so that they can really do something to give a practical demonstration of the same—which will, after more than all the wind-jamming could do in a hundred years. A person who uses soft coal, buys as much heat in each person who uses hard, or anthracite, coal. The soft coal every way than the hard coal.

To sum it all, up, it has been very timely stated that we Go back to the simple life; be contented with simple feasures, simple clothing. Work hard, pray hard, play hard, eat, recreate and sleep. Do it all courageously." The movement for the Colored people to make the start and become real PRODUCERS, instead of mere CONSUMERS, and realizing that the acquisition of the fertile soil is the only thing that can bring that about, is making commendable progress. Anxious members of the race are hailing with delight the possibility of procuring such land right at our door; 98 per cent of the people are with this movement and are READY just as soon as this land is available. The pygmies and ghouls representing the barefoot leadership cannot throw dust in the eyes of the people. The leaders of the movement are strictly high-class citizens who count favor with none except the people who stand for SOME THING. Their patriotism cannot be questioned. A true test is that not one of these gentry would dare face any of the promoters of this movement with that charge. Last Monday's meeting is a barometer as to the feeling of the people; their patriotism is such that they want to produce something so that they can really do something tangible and give a practical demonstration of the same—which will, after all, count for more than all the wind-jamming could do in a hundred years. A person who uses soft coal buys as much heat in each pound as a person who uses hard, or anthracite coal. The soft coal is better in every way that the hard coal. The only redeeming feature the hard coal has is this: A hard coal fire does not need to be 'tended so often—it saves more time; but time is no object to us poor folk—for we have time in abundance. To sum it all, up, it has been very timely stated that we must all "Go back to the simple life; be contented with simple food, simple pleasures, simple clothing. Work hard, pray hard, play hard. Work, eat, recreate and sleep. Do it all courageously." "We have a victory to win."

Persons who do not help to save food by substituting other foods in their stead, are helping Germany, which means that they will prolong the war just that much and so cause many more of our boys to lose their lives than ought to be necessary. The United States Food Administration wishes to have the people increase their use of Irish potatoes. The potato today is plentiful, cheap and the best substitute for food staples, and we are being asked to save for our associates in the war. It furnishes strength, bulk, minerel salts, and helps the stomach to do its work better. If we are going to win this war, we must fight Germany man for man, shell for shell, potato for potato. Try the pinto and other colored beans which have become popular in the West and Middle West as a substitute for the common white or navy bean. In most of the larger cities in these sections, colored beans are used almost entirely. Colored beans are equal to white in food value, and many claim that they taste better. The housewife may save money by purchasing colored beans, for they are much cheaper than the white. The Army and Navy Commissaries are using the colored beans and the soldiers are fond of them. To increase France's crops and lighten the burden of toil on her old men, women and children, the United States Food Administration will ship 1,500 farm tractors to that country in time for the spring plowing. The tractors are expected to be not only of immense service to France by making it possible to raise more food on their land, but also through this very fact that they will enable the French to produce more food for their own consumption, and thus lessen the demands for food from America, they will release shipping for the transportation of American soldiers. Mr. Man, do not hurt your wife's feelings by demanding that she give you r gular pork chops. Let her help, in her kitchen way, to end the war, so that her men folk will not be called to the front. She may not give you everything you want to eat, but she will give you plenty of food and it will taste good, too. Surprise friend wife by asking her to make you a one-dish meal. Yes, the woman in the kitchen is helping to win the war. SUBSCRIPTION RATES AGENTS AND CORRESPONDENTS COL. ROSCOE SIMMONS. WANT TO BECOME PRODUCERS.

A VOICE FROM THE GREAT BEYOND To lose a friend touches the heart as nothing else can. To know a companion has gone never to return, causes a pang peril cannot describe. In such a position am I found today. Russell L. Darden, brother of Attorney Charles S. Darden of this city, has entered the gates of death. He had just reached the threshold of life, being about 24 years old. His future was before him, his prospects were bright, he would have finished law this spring. This young man was my room mate at Biddle University. My associate on the athletic teams, my friend, companion and brother. Three years ago I left him with the bloom of health upon his cheeks, the smile of promise on his face. That bloom has faded, that smile has resolved itself into the composeure of eternal sleep. There was one contribution Russell Darden made to the life of all who knew him. It is best expressed in those words, "O Dry Those Tears; Life Was Not Made for Sorrow." He exemplified this truth daily in his life. It was a pleasure to see him happy, cheerful, and gay, no matter how heavy the cloud or dary the day. One incident I will never forget which clearly portrays this side of his nature. He was in love, as all school boys ...think they...are. A prepossessing damself had stolen his heart. One day the wrath of the gods came down and there was a breach. She wrote him a 'scathing letter and said, 'Russell, we must part.' I looked at him and said, 'Rusty, what will you do now?' He replied, 'Robe, she says she doesn't love me, but I'm going to love her anyway.' This was his philosophy of life. It helped him over many a stormy sea. It thrilled the souls of his companions. You have your darak hours. You have your moments of anxiety. You have your sorrows and cares, but take this message from the grave. Attorney Darden, my sympathy is yours. Your heart is sad. If Russell could speak, though, I know he would say something like this: "When the shadows begin to gather And we are incearing home, When night overtakes us And we find ourselves alone, Be cheerful!" REV. B. C. ROBESON. FRESNO NEWS The central division of the Federation of Women's Clubs met with the Frances Harper Club last Friday, and a large number of delegates from Bakersfield, Allensworth and Hanford were in attendance. The session had its setting in the auditorium of the Second Baptist church, and also enjoyed the attendance of a large number of local people. Mrs. Pearl Lowery Winter of Bakersfield, second state vice president, presided with her usual grace and dignity. The afternoon session was unusually interesting, due largely to the excellent program which was rendered. The paper on "Domestic Science" by Mrs. Pearl Anderson of Hanford, and the one on "The Tongue," by Mrs. Fletcher Pruett of Bakersfield were exceptionally good. The solos by Mrs. W. I. Pelkinton of Bowles, and Miss Zelma Fitz-Price of Bakersfield were well received. "Preservation," the theme discussed in an essay by Mrs. Williams of New York, was ordered placed upon the minutes: A number, of prominent gentlemen were present during the afternoon, among them Presiding Elder, J. E Wilson, Rev. T. M. Davis, J. E Lewis, William A. Bigby, Jr., and A. W. Wolfskill. The meeting was a grand success and followed with a recital by Mrs. Pearl Lowery Winters, the accomplished contralto. A number of the ladies remained over the week end, and were lavishy entertained. Mrs. Fletcher Pruett, Miss Hazel Jonese, Mrs. Pearl Lowery, Winters, Miss Zelma Fitz-Price, Mrs. Major West and Mrs. Ed Jones made up an interesting party at the Orpheum last Saturday afternoon as the guests of William A. Rigby, Jr. In the evening the same congenial group, with Miss Zola and Miss Zella Chavers as additional guests, were his guests also at a party at the Liberty Theater. Sunday the Misses Chavers entertained the same party with a motor ride to Sanger, and in the afternoon Mrs. Pruett, Mrs. Winters, Mrs. West and Miss Fitz-Price were the dinner guests of Mrs. James Smith. Saturday they also motored down to Bowles with Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Pelkinton to their ranch for a dinner party. Mrs. Lulu Gains-Edwards has returned to her home in Oakland after a week's sojourn in our city, dividing her time between her father and her The join reception given by Rising Star Chapter No. 3 and Raisin Center Lodge No. 5, A. F. and A. M., at Colomb Hall last Tuesday night was a very brilliant affair. An excellent program was rendered, an address by Grand Master J. I. Scales and several piano numbers by Mrs. Lillian J. Davis. The patronesses of the evening were Mesdames J. G. Scales, Benj. F. Watkins, A. Wl. Wolfskill and G. W. Ayres. MRS. PEARL LOWERY-WINTERS IN BRILLIANT RECITAL AT FRESNO Sartorially considered, or reckoned with the shrewd estimate of critics, the recital given by Mrs. Pearl Lowry Winters, the eminent contralto of Bakersfield, last Friday evening, was a triumphant success. Her recital was given in the auditorium of the Second Baptist Church, under the auspices of the Frances Harper Club. Mrs. Winters was in glorious voice, and a packed house listened with absorbing interest to airs from different operas, snappy melodies and commingled tonalities which were graciously applauded. "Because," "The Rosary," "Who Knows," Arthur Foote's "Love Me If I Live," and his "I'm Wearin' Awa," were warmly applauded, as was Neidlinger's "Serenade," to which "Daddy's Sweetheart" was graciously given as an encore. Mrs. Winters' voice is possessed of a very deep volume and a wonderful range, the evidence of excellent training, and she uses it with that fine artistry and degree of culture that lends much to her wealth of personality. She has also gained a wide friendship by the excellence of her singing and dignity of manner, among them the world renowned diva, Schumann-Heink herself, who, by the way, wanted to make our singer her protege, with four years of study in St. Louis, and from there to Europe, which offer was graciously declined at the request of her fiance. Madame Lillian Jeter Davies, the distinguished artist, who has gained recognition in the most brilliant musical circles in the east, as well as the west, assisted Mrs. Winters, presiding at the piano, with her usual grace and delightful technique. Mrs. James L. Clark, our local piano genius, whose pronounced ability is emphasized not only in the United States, but in Canada, lent much to the success of the evening through her masterful interpretation of many difficult numbers from old masters. In keeping with the spirit of patriotism now prevailing, Mrs. Clark played her own version of improvised National Airs, which, like the other numbers rendered, drew forth the warmest encomium from the large audience. Marvelous technique this artist displayed in her execution, especially Schumann's "Carnival," in which the contrasted moods were emphasized with sympathetic interpretation, changing instantly from crashing chords into a plaintive, persuasive melody. The entire program was one of excellent musical taste, and there prevailed throughout the evening a noteworthy spirit of sincerity and enthusiasm. At the sacred recital Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Winter's sang her own composition, Oh. If the Gates Would Close," dedicated to Mme. Hackley, together with a number of other selections. WILLIAM A. BIGBY, JR. Critic Honorary Member of Frances Harper Club. Oroheum Outing.

The frigid weather which is now covering the United States along the Atlantic Coast and the Middle West is not only the paramount complaint of the California boys of our hospital unit, but is of the people of these sections who are undergoing it, and extreme weather is being greatly enlarged upon by the unexpected lack of coal. I have witnessed many riots where people raid coal cars on side tracks and the poire is powerless to prevent them. The people of California have no idea or appreciation of the fact that Nature does not deal out similar weather to them. The boys of California Unit No. 3 are gradually and patiently accustoming themselves to prevailing circumstances—though vaccination and innoculation of typhoid serum have caused much complaint among us. We are grateful to say that we have been often and highly entertained in the City of Brotherly Love (now nicknamed "Sisterly Love") because of their kindness. I have just returned from a visit at the National Hospital, where I received a hearty greeting from my aunt, Mrs. Mamie Snelson Chapman, and her family and friends. Washington is the brightest spot of the advancement of our race and is all aglow with the war spirit. "Tis indeed encouraging to see the vast number of women of our race, as well as the other, holding Government positions, and I am glad to say that my cousin, Miss Mamie C. Cooper, is one of the number. Many of these positions were formerly held by men. These positions number thousands in the Government Printing Bldg., the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, etc., and the holders of these situations come from all parts of the U. S. The salaries range from $2.00 to $3.00 daily, and many of those at work are students of both the colored and the white universities and are still attending school between times. So many girls have positions that the boys have decided to "let the women do the work." On my visit to Howard University I was heartily welcomed by Dean Kelly Miller, Prof. Tunnell and Mrs. Mary Church Terrill, all frirnds of my par-parents—and I also received much good cheer from the students in honor to my uniform.

C. E. NORWOOD The San Diego Division of the California Eagle is being handled by Mrs. C. E. Norwood and under her efficient management we are expecting big things from that end of the wire. The California Eagle has a very large circulation in San Diego, which was the work of Mr. M. T. Laws, who very satisfactorily managed the Eagle at San Diego for about two years, and gave it up reluctantly on account of press work in his own line as city employee. Mrs. Norwood is one of our best prepared young women in San Diego, and the management of the California Eagle considers itself complimented in securing her service at this time, and ask that the good citizens of San Diego give her their undivided support. Sunday; January 20th, it was my good fortune to meet and address the San Diego Women's Council. Mrs. Ella Hutson is president of the Council and a live wire. Mrs. C. E. Norwood, recording secretary; Mrs. E. E. Shepherd, financial secretary; Mrs. R. C. Plenty, vice-president; Mrs. Fowler, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Jones, treasurer. I am looking for great things from this organization for I was impressed not only with the officers, but likewise with the membership. During my four days' stay at San Diego I was royally entertained at the beautiful little home of Mrs. E. E. Shepherd, and on the evening of January 21st, was tendered a reception at the beautiful residence of Mrs. M. A. Gooden, of 3030 Franklin Ave, where I met the California Eagle's Star subscriber, Mr. Johnson. The others in attendance at this reception were: Mrs. E. E. Shepherd, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dodge, Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Plenty, Mrs. H. Saunders, Mrs. Precilla Fowler, Mrs. Ella Hutson and Mrs. Lee Grace. SAN DIEGO NEWS Visitors coming to San Diego from other places go away saying that San Diego is dead for the want of business men and women; that there is no businesses of any kind going on in this town; but by a close observation I am sure they are wrong. The fact is that our business men and women are here, and are really in business, too, but they fail to advertise in the California Eagle, a paper that everybody reads, even if they have to borrow one, they must read the California Eagle. We have in the city of San Diego two well-equipped hotels, four or five rooming houses, a furniture store, a second-hand store, five or six hair dressers, one ice cream parlor, a pharmacist, hand-painting establishment, three restaurants, three barbershops, two dyeing and cleaning establishments, and one jewelry store. Now I have not mentioned any name, but I do hope that as you read the Eagle this week and find what business you are in that you will advertise at once. Don't let your business bear the name of being dead on your port; for the lack of interest you take it; but call M 4423, and subscribe for the California Eagle, and have your ad put in at once. Mrs. P. Fowler will leave on the 15th of February for Seattle, Wash., where she will visit her son, Richard Smith, at Camp Lewis, who will be moved soon to parts unknown, and as she has not seen him for more than twelve years, she is anxious to see him before he makes his departure. She expects to be away three months. Mrs. Ingram is still on the sick list. Mrs. Lucile Jacks, who was visiting in Los Angeles for three weeks, has returned home. She is now rooming at Mrs. E. E. Shepherd's, 543 Twelth street. Mrs. S. Molan has been on the sick list, and is at home again now. Cupid is shooting his darts in San Diego—shooting at hearts that have been shot before, but nevertheless is proving fatal. On the 7th of February the wedding bells is supposed to ring at Mt. Zion. Guess who it is? Mr. M. G. Rutledge, 543 Twelfth street, was agreeably surprised last Thursday evening by a number of his friends, it being his birthday. Mr. Rutledge says this is his first birthday he has ever had, so he must be one year old, and he has not told his correct age yet. Mrs. Edna Bomar of Thirty-fourth street is very ill.

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 'tis 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 valiantly enter, conflicts and march to the thick of the fray; oh, friends, these are feet that take us unto heights which our eyes cannot see. The step in the dark once takes him glorified you and me. Oh, what was love made for if it's not the same through joy, through sorrow, through 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 hair beats the more the rain falls. So love in our hearts shall gry In Hair Store and on the Pacific Coast where you costume for Masquerade Balls, T e Phone Pie Have It! What? ros. V. H. Walker in Ladies and Gents.

Should thou be torn from me to wander alone in a desolate land, where the sea 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. WATTS NEWS Call up S 3676 R 3, after Monday. Revival at the Mission closed Monday evening with souls waiting to be saved.

This must be true, for many of them work all day in service, come to school at night and are the last ones to leave when the 9 o'clock bell rings. Those who feel too tired to go to evening school, and elderly people who think they are too old to go to school, ought to catch inspiration from these people. Mme. J. H. Cuffee, Prop.
