ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE PICO 28 VOLUME 31 MA AU REVOIR IS NOT GOOD BY Time changes and with it so do we The mighty conflict now raging is disturbing the even tenor of many I am among them Uncle Sam has a training school for chaplains at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky. Here he helps men to become acquainted with the tasks they may have to perform. He asks me to be present. I told him, "I'll be on hand." I have enjoyed immensely my weekly labor in connection with my articles in the Eagle. Pleasant, because my hearers have been so appreciative, thoughtful and expressive. You know we always feel good if we think we are helping others. Then, again, the contact with the editors of the Eagle has been extremely helpful. Mr. and Mrs. Bass are ideal characters. The policy of the Eagle is to lift up. They always ring true. Nothing selfish or narrow about either of them. Anything helpful to the people gets their support. I will be away for five weeks, maybe longer, maybe not. If a vacancy exists at the expiration of that time in which I can fit "over the top" I am headed. Be that as it may, I shall write from where my hat hangs, and acquaint you with life in and around the camps. I ask meanwhile that all may arouse themselves in this hour of our country's need, and help her to fight and win. Exemplify in your deeds the lofty inspiring and true-tested principles which found expression in Dr. Ransom's glowing address. Be true to God, yourselves, and your country. I will see you again Au Revoir is not good by REV. B. C. ROBESON WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT On Wednesday evening, April 3, at the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, 125 North Westlake avenue, occurred one of the most unique weddings of the early spring, when Miss Bertha L. Achols of 217 North Bonnie Brae street became the bride of Mr. B. Eugene Hines of 1624 Palo Alto street, both of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Hines have the distinction of being the first couple to be married in this church, and in view of this fact, no pains were spared to make this occasion one of such that will always linger in the memory of all who were present. While the audience slowly emerged from the ench. ntment of a musical solo by Miss Fannie Wilson, they were wonderfully entertained by a vocal solo rendered by Miss Lucile Banton, which was a great factor in making this occasion such a successful one. Just as the pastor, Rev. W. H. Rozier, repeated the solemn words, "I now pronounce you man and wife," the wedding program was concluded with "I Love You Truly," so beautifully sung by Miss Viola Dixon. Mrs. Hines is very popular in musical circles, being a student of Prof. W. T. Wilkins for a number of years, while Mr. Hines is widely known in both society and church circles and has a rare ability as a poet; he is commonly known as the poet of Pleasant Hill. The entire program was originated and conducted by Mrs. Cox, and she deserves much credit for her marked ability as a directoress of such performances. The newlyweds will be at home at 441 North Burlington street after April 6, where they will entertain their many friends. The California Eagle Noted Woman Evangelist Coming to First A. M. E. Church Echos From Across the Contin- Hillburn, N. Y., April 11—To the California Eagle. On a Sunday during last fall a monster mass meeting was held in the Hippodrome, in New York City, under the auspices of the National War Council of the Y. M. C. A. The great buildin gwas packed, one of the chief attraction being Mr. Lauder, the world-wide-known comedian, whose presence at that meeting had been well advertised. Mr. Lauder, it is said, did not make the most important speech on that occasion. But he did make some very telling "hits," the greatest of which was, "If the Germans can stand solid for all that is bad, in God's name can't be stand solid for all that is good." Mr James W. Johnson, contributing editor to the New York Age, reports that this "dramatically explained part of Mr. Lauder's speech" brought the big audience almost to its feet. Mr. Johnson further reports that Mr. Lauder, in driving home the sentiment that in spite of past misunderstandings and antagonisms, Americans and Britons can now stand together, shouted, "We are all white!" (Pause) "Undoubtedly, the 'speaker expected applause during his first pause. It did not come. In place, a chill seemed to sweep over the immense crowd. The speaker then shouted the phrase with greater force, but the words found no echo, the great audience that had risen to every stirring sentiment remained silent and unresponsive. It was curious. After the first, cold blast of the words had struck and passed over me. I tried to analyze the psychology of the crowd and to understand why the audience had not showered down when Lauder shouted. 'We are all white!'" "Was it because in the same instant there flashed across the minds of the men present a picture of black men from India, black men from North Africa, West Africa and South Africa, black men from the West Indies lighting and dying to save England and France?" "Was it because in the same instant there rose in their minds the consciousness of the fact that in every war in which this country has fought it has had to depend in no small degree upon those who are now its black citizens?" "Was it because there is at bottom a sense of fairness in the average white-American which, in spite of the occasion and tense enthusiasm, made Mr. Lauder's remark sound small, mean and unfair?" "Whatever the reason, there is satisfaction in the fact that this portion of the speech failed to arouse applause, and tell in silence." Let us pray. O God, our Heavenly Father, we believe Thun hast suffered this great world war to be launched because in no other way would the ungodly rulers among the nations of the earth permit Thee to accomplish Thun beneficent purposes for all human kind. Believing that Thun hast not, and will not, yield the reins of universal government to any earthly power, we pray that this war, as dreadful as it is, may not cease until there shall be with the white peoples, as with Thue. "No respector of persons." Grant, Eternal God, that confusion and convulsions among the nations may continue until all white peoples, especially our color-prejudiced white people, shall realize that they can near "near child for all that good" while deep down in their souls they are craving and lighting for "white supremacy" and for the perpetual subordination of all their dark-skinned brethren. We ask this for Thy people, for our nation, and for all mankind, Amen.

San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 20, 1918 Send Forth Mercy Ship Every commercial body in Southern California, including the local organization, is being requested to "do its bit" toward helping load the relief ship that will sail from Los Angeles harbor for France some time after May 15. The project of making the first steel ship built in the Southland for the government, a harbinger of good will on its initial voyage is promoted and fostered by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. Moneyy food, clothing, bedding, garden tools and farm implements are wanted chiefly. The idea is to have the so-called relief cargo represent all Southern California and the purpose is to strengthen the morale of the heroic civilians of France, who are the support of the brave armies battling for the liberty of the world and the right of democracies to live without domination by the despotic Bohenzollern breed. There will be no "drive" for subscriptions, as the offerings are to be purely voluntary on the part of individuals, organizations and communities. Contributions will be assembled and forwarded to the docks through the local commercial body, the officers of which will be advised in detail of the plan at an early date. FIRST OLD GLORY QUILT IS MADE BY COLORED WOMAN Mrs. H. M. Talamantoes of 1366 W. 35th Place, assisted by her daughter, Miss A. Talamantoes, has made an Old Glory quilt. It is quite unique and all hand made. It is on exhibition at the Rhoades & Rhoades Co., auctioneers, on 15th and Main street. The quilt is exhibited on a bed made by Mr. Talamantoes from one limb of a pepper tree LOS ANGELES PRODUCT MAK ING GOOD AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY Miss Gotter, whose parents and grand parents live in this city and Riverside, are justly proud of the progress made by this young girl. She has availed herself of every opportunity, and at this time is one of Western University's star students. Recently in a popularity contest held at the University Miss Gotter, with Mr. Seward Hall, were the successful contests and this is what the University Pen Hall had to say: the race close付 with Miss Gertrude Gower and Mr. Seward Hall carrying away the honors. The young people have been in our midst for several years and as they close their senior year with the class of 1918, we sincerely hope that they will always hold high the name of old W. U." The Eagle predicts for Miss Gotter a brilliant career for-we believe that she has within her the qualities that spell success. A PROMISING FIGURE F THE NOT FAR FUTURE In the canta "Joan of Arc," given by the music department of the High School, our very, own Malcolm Patton, son of our esteemed citizens, Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Patton of Pico street, appeared as soloist, singing one of the leading roles, and bringing down the house in enthusiastic applause at the Y. W. C. A. Market Day this week. Young Patton is a member of the L. A. High School Student Body, and upon this occasion, as upon all occasions, when he appears in this connection did honor to his school, parentage and Race. It will be remembered by those who read and keep in touch with the progress made by our young people in this section, that this time last year, Miss Patton, sister of Mr. Patton, enjoyed the same honor and distinction he is experiencing. The California Eagle can but say, "Hurrah, Patton, go on dear boy, you must reach the top." YOUNG MAN PASSES TO THE GREAT BEYOND James Iverson, the only son of Mrs. A. Mitchell, quietly passed away at his mother's residence, Friday morning, March 12, at six o'clock. The funeral service was held Monday afternoon from the Taternacle Baptist church, Dr. J. D. Gordon officiating, but assisted by Rev. E. R Driver and Tillman of Pasadena. The short life of this splendid young man, though untimely, was a benediction to his family and friends, for he died with fixed faith in his heavenly Father. He leaves a mother, father-in-law, Mr. Abe Mitchell, and aunt, Mrs. S B. Strickland, a grandfather, Mr. Vincent Boykin, and an uncle, W M Boykin, to mourn his loss. The entire community is in the deepest sympathy with these loved ones in this great loss.

Layne After having passed through a very disagreeable wind and dust storm on last Saturday, we were glad to have the Sabbath dawn upon us most beautiful. Old Sol roar in all of his splendor, with that everlasting invitation to let us thy windows and open wide thy doors and let the blessed sunshine in. While the birds were singing and the church bells were ringing, we wended our way to EI Bethel Church, where we found our little boys and girls in their respective classes in Sunday school. The 11 o'clock service was well attended, but on account of the illness of the pastor, Rev. E. C. Dyer, we had prayer service instead of preaching, Rev. Keller preached Sunday night. There were three accessions to membership. The apron and string tie entertainment on last Wednesday evening, given by the Calexico Woman's Uplift and Social Club, was quite a success. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Aburs of El Centro, visited with their sister, Mrs. E. J Layne, on last Sunday. There is an epidemic oom mumps and measles with the grown-ups, as well as with the children, in our city. Friday, April 19, is spring cleaking day in Calexico. So clean up your house and clean your shed, and clean the barn in every part; but brush the colbanks from your head and sweep the snowbanks from your heart. Just when spring cleaning comes around, bring out the duster and the broom; but shake your foggy notions down, and sweep your dusty spell from gloom. PASADENA NEWS The lecture on "God in the War," delivered at the Y. M. C. A on Sunday afternoon by Dr. J. M Riddle, D. D., was a masterpiece of oratory. Everyone present could readily see the speaker was well equipped to handle the subject under discussion. The two young daughters of Rev Riddle, Miss Hazel and Florida, rendered splendidly an instrumental duet. Other numbers, were a vocal solo by Mme Corrine Bush-Hicks and jubilee numbers by a chorus directed by Capt Wm. Reynolds The Community Auxiliary Chapter of the American Red Cross are now installed in their new home in the old Opera House on Bellvue drive and Raymond avenue. The Tuesday evening meeting was very encouraging. A good many ladies were present in both the sewing and knitting classes. Two members from the headquarters were present to instruct the knitters, and many comor kits were finished by the seamstresses. Eight new members were taken in, which was very encouraging, as this brings the membership a good ways above fifty. The Thursday afternoon classes are expected to be equally as good if not better than the Tuesday evening class. All ladies are urged to become members and do their bit for the boys in the trenches. The rooms will be open on Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9, and on Thursday afternoons from 1 to 5. All those who missed the benefit recital Tuesday night at the Y. M. C. A. missed a rare treat of the season. Prof. E. Willis Bradley upheld his reputation of being one of the greatest tenor singers of the race and it can easily be said he is the greatest the west has ever produced. His familiarity with his songs, which were sung in English and Italian, and the ease with which they were rendered was noted by the entire audience. Miss Malcolm Massey, his accompanist, is destined to be one of the greatest pianists of the race, as well as a composer of no mean ability. Misses Dolores and Laura Burke of Santa Monica were the guests of Misses Donuroa and Lelia Harts of Ashtabula street. Sunday afternoon and evening. Prof. and Mrs. E. Willis Bradley and small son, Eugene, were the dinner guests of Mrs. C. May Harts on Monday evening. The Arion Jubilee Quartet, composed of Mrs. Corrine Hicks, Miss Estelle Harts and Messrs. James Collins and Clovis Fonche, appeared at the Strand Theater on Wednesday afternoon in several jubilee and patriotic selections, "The Rosaary," and Mme Hicks sang as a solo, "Swance River," which was never more beautifully and effectively sung. This is the first appearance of any members of the race on the stage of the Strand Theater, which is one of the most high class show houses of Pasadena, but we are sure with the successful start given by the talented Arion Quartet it will not be the last appearance. NUMBER 10 S.W. GREEN SAFE LEADER EVIDENCES OF PROGRESS IN MATERIAL AFFAIRS—CHANCELLOR S. W. GREEN HELPING TO SOLVE OUR ECONOMIC PROBLEMS PYTHIAN TEMPLE NOW OUT OF DEBT—A TRIBUTE TO NEGRO THRIFT AND ENTERPRISE. By Charles Alexander A short while ago, under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor S. W Green, a celebration was held in New Orleans. The beautiful Knights of Pythias Temple was paid out of debt, and the significant fact brought the two races in New Orleans much closer together—for this temple cost a great deal of money—in all $200,000; and money, you know, has the magic charm of bringing to pass good-will and friendliness where other things fail. The prompt discharge of financial obligations promotes a certain kind of confidence that is enduring. Moreover, the success of this enterprise in New Orleans was due from the start to the cordial co-operation of the bankers of that city. This cooperation was the result of the faith which these bankers have in the integrity of the leader of the movement of the business ably is well-known—his faithless abuses and prudence have been well tested in the estimation of the best commercial circles—he is regarded as a substantial citizen. Mr. Green is one of the outstanding, dominating personalities' among the Negroes in the United States. He is the Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. His manly attitude on all questions, his plain speech, his honest methods, his unassuming manners, have conspired to make him a great power among the Knights of Pythias. He is obviously one of the safest leaders the race has produced, and it is fortunate that thinking men in the ranks of the order have long since agreed that he is equal to every responsibility and every duty the fra ternity imposes upon him. MR. S. W. GREEN Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias. Mr. Green's home and headquarters are located at New Orleans, La. In this great city he is highly respected and honored by all classes; he is held in high regard by the bankers and business men of his community—the real test of the character and standing of the individual. It was through his influence that the bankers of New Orleans advanced the K. of P. $75,000 to finish and equip the great $200,000 Pythian Temple which was erected in that metropolis a few years ago. These influential business men assured him that as long as he was at the head of the order in New Orleans they would protect the financial interests of the organization—paying him the compliment of their fullest confidence in his business ability, fidelity, acumen and sagacity. At the last meeting of the Supreme Lodge at St. Louis, Mo., it was clearly demonstrated that the order has made wonderful progress under the guidance of Chancellor Green. The sessions were the most successful it has held in its history and the entire convention was conducted under the most favorable conditions—harmony and concord characterized every day's session. At the election of officers there was practically no opposition to the state and the old officers were re-elected. This was also true of the women's de- What the Churches are Doing THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Corner 18th and Paloma Sts. Rev. N. P. Greggs, D.D., Pastor St. Mark 8:34. "Whosoever will some after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me." This was the text used by Pastor Greggs in a stirring sermon on last Sunday morning. In the evening he spoke from St. Luke 9:18-20. Both sermons were very practical and edifying. The services were well attended and the audiences were charmed by the excellent music rendered by the choir. Great interest is being manifested in the Sunday School. This department under the efficient superintendency of Mr. J. H. Shackelford, is growing rapidly, both numerically and financially.

THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE SACRAMENTO NEWS Mme. Dr. Flood—Corns bunions and deformed nails. 302 Forum. M 4144 J. Miss T. Hackett of Alameda, was the house guest of Mrs. P. F. O'Reilly during her stay in town, last week. To say that Dr. Ransom's lecture was a treat would be putting it mildly, for it was indeed an inspiration to the young, the old, the black and the white, who were present and listened for the short hour to historical facts and current events which filled the minds of all with lasting knowledge. Would that a great many more could have heard him. The short but pleasing program was well rendered. Mr. P. F. O'Reilly, chairman of the reception committee, and master of ceremonies, introduced Mr. W. O. Tyler of Los Angeles, who in well chosen words introduced the speaker of the evening, Dr. Reverdy Ransom, whose subject: "A Challenge to the Knight Errant of World Democracy," was a revelation to the many that heard him. Mrs. J. H. Walker was at her best, the beautiful solo, "Somewhere in France," thrilled the audience and aptivated those who had never heard her sweet voice before. So loud and king were the applause that an encore was given. She chose her famous imitation of a cornet which surely is a wonder. The program ended with "The Star Spangled Banner" by the audience standing. Rev. J. H. Wilson offered the benediction. The Monday Club will give a "Raisin Society" the 30th of this month at St. Andrews' A. M. E. Church. Miss Myce Logan entertained in honor of Mr. W.

Bullard was a street sweeper. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Robinson on last Monday evening entertained the younger set. The home had been decorated for the occasion with callies and yellow blossoms. The evening was given over to music and games. Especially did the young folks enjoy the games, which were unique and amusing, and the best part of it was that everyone received a prize. The first prizes were won by Miss Naomi Brown, Messrs. Byron O'Reilly and Milton Wilson. Mr. W. A. Bigby of Fresno received the guest prize. The invited guests were Misses Myce Logan, Pauline Ray, N.

We found the people here, as ever, anxious to keep pace with the march of progress. Our former townsman, W. J. ‘Thompson, is located here and is kept busy at his trade of plumbing Rev. H. B. Thomas, prominent in Baptist church circles, former Mod- erator and President of the Western Baptist Association and State Convention, is the pastor of Mt.

Carter is the very live and versatile’ pastor of the \. M. E. church and seems to be the right man in the right place. Mr Al Graves, well known in Southern Cali- fornia is conducting a grocery’ store as wel] as a rooming house, and restaurant. Julius Jones is still the premier tailor and cleaner of the city and making good. Eugene Hester continues to the forefront in the musical realm and is indted a worthy representative tw his profession Great preparations’ were on hand for the lecture by Reverdy C. Ran- som, We could not wait to witness the same on account of having to catch a train at just about the time the exercises Were to begin. Our next stop was at Sun Jose where we met our good friend, Rev. wW. J. J. Byers, who has in less than two years accomplished a wonder- fal-work in that city and built one of the most beautiful and substantial er ‘edifices on the Pacific Coast. 2 THE CALIFURNIA | KAGLE We next stopped at the a Camp Fremont, where the soldiers are encamped, and viewed more than 8000 soldiers in this tented city. Arriving in San Francisco on Friday we proceedéd to Oakland, where we again met Dr. R. C. Ransom and W. O. Tylet and was pres- ent at the lecture on this occasion.

PUBLIC HIGHLY ENTERTAIN ED BY FISK JUBILEE SINGERS Last Wednesday evening found an eager crowd on hand at the Independent Church to hear the Fisk Jubilee Singers in recital. At eight thirty the house was almost full, and by nine there was hardly standing room. At nine o'clock, the singers, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Meyers, Miss Elonise Urgains, and Mr. Foster appeared on the platform. After the invocation had been offered by Rev. A. P. Shaw, Rev. Gregges introduced Mr. J. A. Meyers to the audience and be in turn presented the other performers. The singers proceeded immediately to entertain their hearers with many of the old melodies, among which especial mention is to be made of "Steal Away" and "I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray" too much not be said of the beautiful rendering by Miss Elonise Urgains of "Jean", which was composed by the famous Harry T. Burleigh. The great crowd left fully satisfied on the head of having had a pleasant musical treat. FEATURED BY STAFF REPORTER He did not last long with "Theda"—Capt. K. M. M. L. B. and L.

Assistant Superintendent Mr. Harry Patterson was in charge of the Sunday School last Sunday, and after a most lively session gave a hearty welcome to the new scholars and friends, Dr. Prowd's text at 11 a. m. was from 1 Cor. 7:29—"Brethren the time is short." The teaching and application was in keeping with current events and therefore came with apt acceptance to all. Many joined the church at the invitation of the pastor. The B. Y. P. U. was the scene of energy, inspiration, and profit. In this meeting the Bible is much in evidence and the young people given liberty to discuss subjects vital to the Christian life. On Sunday evening the session promises to be a most helpful one. The Young People's Missionary Society met at Mrs. Alexander on 18th St. last Sunday afternoon and a beautiful program was carried out. Dr. Prowd preached in the evening on the "The Open Door" and a solomil appeal for the Savior's admittance was made. Come out on time this Sunday and prepare for a message from the Lord. This is the time for Liberty Bonds and "If the Son shall make you free ye shall be free indeed. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH The services all day were very interesting owing to the variation in the regular Sunday program. In the morning the secretary of the Sunday school reported an attendance of 80 and also a fair collection. It was the pastor's impressive morning message that set the church in the correct atmosphere because it brought two people into the church. At the evening services the Christian Endeavor helda short but pleasing meeting discussing the subject, "How to Enjoy Sunday." Next Sunday the topic will be on "Reading." This topic should be of value to all because we have come to a stage in history of this world that markets are over flooded with literature of various sorts, and one must use good judgment in his selections. With the object in view of selection, the President urges everyone to come out and enjoy the meeting at 7 o'clock sharp. At 8 p.m. our efficient organist and chorister sounded the strains of the "Prelude in C minor." This heralded the repetition of the Easter program rendered by the choir. Each consecutive number, from the Prelude to the Doxology, was well worthy of comment. Many who haired both programs stated that the last one was better than the first. The weekly announcements are the same; namely: Prayer and class meeting Wednesday evening. Choir rehearsal Friday evening. Only three weeks left for the last payment in the Sacrifice Rally. The slogan now is "prepare and beware." STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP MANAGEMENT ETC. REQUIRED BY THE ACT OF CONGRESS OF AUG 24, 1914 CONGRESS OF AUG 24, 1914.

A GRAND MESSAGE On Monday evening, April 15, under the auspices of the Negro Women's Council, a grand message was delivered by Dr. Ransom, at Liberty Hall, to a small but appreciative audience. Heath's Jubilee Singers rendered some choice selections in openings the meeting, followed with invocation by Rev. C. Williams and a very choice selection of dialect by Miss Summerville. Attorney Tyler, of Los Angeles, made a short presentation speech, and introduced the speaker of the evening, Dr. Ransom. His subject was "A Challenge to the American Knight Errant of World Democracy". It was to be seen at once that the Doctor was perfectly at home upon the platform, having such a wonderful command of logic, force and fact, ever ready at his finger tips, to be poured out at the right and proper time. ("Sowing tare.") That picture he painted, just above the eastern horizon, of the Negro's entry into this country as a slave, the blood he shed on Boston Commons, his ever willingness to be of service, even up to this present crisis, and being rewarded with cuffs, denials and withheld promises, was painted with such vividness, such thundering but mellow force, and such lifelike volume of everyday fact, that the blind will be forced to see, the deaf be taught to hear and the mute, before high noon, shall be forced to speak in his behalf. Great-street was had on his advice to the Negro, to strive and demand the same, everything, the white man now withholds and enjoys. Not in a sense of social mingling, but as a right inherited through martyrred blood, and holding mativity to that country which boasts of being a home of the brave and a land of the free. Dr Ramson's coming to San Diego was a blessing to this community, and the many forceful truths he so guardingly enunciated are bound to bring forth abundant fruit. Mrs E. R. Hutson acted as mistress of ceremonies with much credit to the race. She spoke of the large flag which draped the front of the stage as being the flag of '61, and the highly esteemed property of the Negro Women's Council. Rev P. E. Robinson was to give the bengondition, but as Rev W. E. Robinson was there, and ready at all times to do anything asked of him, launched out with the bengondition, never realizing that he had taken another man's job. But nevertheless all things turned out well, as it always does to those that serve the Lord. Mrs. E. R. Hutson, president, and Mrs. C. E. Norwood, secretary of the Negro Women's Council, were the promoters of securing this grand lecturer for San Diego, and we do heartily thank the citizens who so beautifully responded to our call for help in doing so and especially the gentleman who stopped his work and helped us out at a critical moment. Many thanks to one and all who donated to the cause. Mr. E. B. Whiteside left San Diego some few weeks ago for Alaska to work in the fish cannery. Mr. Frank Hart, enroute to Capitramo last week, in company with Mr. Bob Lee, Mr. Williams and Mrs. Grass, all of whom were on motorcycles, met with a very bad accident just before reaching his destination. He had to throw himself off his motorcycle to keep from going off a very steep embankment. The machine fell on his leg, causing a very badly sprained ankle. Mr. Bob Lee was the Good Samaritan, bringing him home. Mrs. Luck Parker is reported very sick. Mrs. M. Wallace entertained last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Frank Seals, in honor of Mr. Seals' birthday. Mrs. Dickens has been very sick, but is better now. She was brought in town from the ranch last Sunday. The evil that men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones. The Carnation Club held their first art meeting at Mrs. John Allhouse's Tuesday evening. The mysterious package was won by Mrs. Jno. Langley, which was a beautiful coffa pillow, Mrs. C Wright, who is a genius in needlework, taught the members different stitches. Refreshments were served by Mrs. Allhouse. The Club Social will be held next Tuesday night at Mrs. L. L. Bennett's at 2025 Wesley street. All are cordially invited to come out and try to get the mysterious package. The play at Liberty Hall some few wees ago, called "Topsy Turvy," was indeed, a decided success, and the spectators were pleased immensely, so much so that they have been asked to give it again. Everyone played their part to perfection. Every member of the N. B. B. Q. O. Club is summoned to be present at a chitting supper given Thursday evening. April 25, at the residence of Mrs. C. E. Norwood, 3059 Martin avenue. Visitors are cordially invited. Other refreshments will be served to those who do not care for chitting, so don't stay away. And what you don't see ask for. Dr. R. W. Arline, the evangelist, was in San Diego last Sunday. He preached an excellent sermon at the First Street Baptist Church, and on Sunday evening came out and preached for the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Dr. Arline is planning on launching a revival meeting here, which is to prove beneficial to the whole city of San Diego in all avenues of life. Rev. W. E. Robinson stirred Mt. Zion Church Sunday morning more than it has been stirred for some time. His sermon was immensely enjoyed by all until the hour of 1 o'clock, when the meeting was turned into a testimonial meeting, when all expressed their warm feeling towards the white brother for his glorious message of true salvation. EAGLE Mrs. E. E. Shepherd entertained Wednesday at a dainty little luncheon in honor of Mrs. Lucile Jackson, who left on the afternoon train for Oakland. Coveres were laid for live. Those present were Rey R. W. Arline Mrs. M. G. Rutledge Mrs. C. E. Norwood, Mrs. Lucile Jackson and Mrs. E. E. Shepherd. The Little Sun Beam Band will give a literary program and may pole drill at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church Thursday evening, May 9. All are cordially invited to come out and spend a pleasant evening. A social will be held at the parsonage after the program. Mrs. M. A. Haydell entertained at dinner Sunday Rey C. Williams and wife, Rey R. W. Arline and Mr. J. Griffin. Dr. Ransom, Mr. Charles Alexander and Attorney Tyler were met as the stage came into San Diego by a committee of the Council and Mr. Gus Thompson and Mr. M. T. Laws with the large automobiles, also Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Dodge of Ocean Beach, and were taken at once to the most hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Plenty, where a goodly number of the noted men were there assembled to welcome the guests from afar. Also there awaited them a table all laden down with the sustenance of life, the Council feeling this the best to do on such short notice. All enjoyed the feast.

IMPERIAL NEWS The First Baptist Church has undergone repair, and everything is looking new, and the Baptists have the town. Our pastor is making a clean sweep in the town, with eight persons for baptism. There was good service at the church all day Sunday. The pastor out visiting the other churchese of the Valley Sunday morning, in the interest of organizing a Baptist Association in the Valley, but he was at his post Sunday night, and had a soul-stirring meeting at night. All of the churches of the Valley will send their boards of officers and pastors to meet with the First Baptist church of Imperial, to arrange time and place for organizing a district association of Imperial Valley. Faithful praying and hard work at last have made a clean town of Imperial, and God is getting a Feaming Booze and the rough elegant have been ordered out of town, and forbidden never again to make their shirts in the town. The bootleggers tried their hands, but they find themselves in hard luck, as law breakers are jived as fast as fast and brutal class. Colored and white people have decided to have a clean town, and bad men and women and booze must go. Mrs. Williams returned home last Sunday from a visit in Oklahoma. She spent four months with her mother and father, and a baby girl was born while she was there with her mother and father, and she presented Mr. Williams a sweet little baby girl on her return, and he has not yet sniffing. There were several new visitors in our town last week, and some of them found their way to the church Sunday. Mrs. Tressie Black is on the sick list; also Mrs. Heslup is on the sick list. Mr. and Mrs. Brown, our cafe host and hostess, have moved to Calexico for the same line of business. Mrs. Coleman is visiting the northern part of the state. Mrs. L. L.

DUNBAR'S LITERARY SOCIETY The Baithwaith Literary Society held a meeting last Friday at the regular meeting place President Wm. A. Johnson, opened the meeting with a few words of prayer by Rev. Hughs. Mr. H. B. Inghram suggested the name of Baithwaith, for the club, and was asked to give a biographical sketch of Mr. Baithwaith, a Negro literary critic, but could not find a sufficient sum, only as he was known as a literary critic. The question was discussed and the name has been changed to Dunbar's Literary Society and the motto is "They can who think they can." The program committee had a very excellent program to render in a In-Design by the Misses Ruth and Doodothy Inghram; reading, Miss Rena Mucketroy and a contralto solo "Who Knows," by Miss Mae Harris. It seems that the program was made up of the feminine section at next Friday the will be offered of courses ```markdown ``` AT YOUR SERVICE 2800 TRAINS Fast N Comfortable NOR Convenient RTH Dependable H PACIFIC ELECTRIC Pacific Electric ```markdown ``` M.

Next week Pres. Johnson is going to give an oration "What Is Democracy," quotations from Dunbar by the Club; vocal solo, Benjamin Anderson; current topics of interest, Frank Whiting and Rev. Hughes has introduced an idea of a question box which will be a part of the weekly program. Last meeting some interesting questions were asked, for instance, "Who was the last Negro register of the city?" Who was the man that Woodrow Wilson promised a political position if he should lend his support in his election." This man was not given the position and has died since. Many other questions wer asked and the idea proved very interesting, so come next Friday night with a question. Our critic, H. B. Ingham is certainly wonderful. There is nothing doing that should be that he doesn't see. He has even got the heart to criticize our beloved president.

The entire regime of the present officers has been marked by the most singular prosperity and no little degree of credit is due the presiding genius of the order for keeping and maintaining this splendid condition. Chancellor Green first joined the Knights of *Pythias* in 1883, when in the month of July of that year, as a charter member, he helped to form Tensas Lodge No. 21. He is the pride of Louisiana, the state in which he was born. He has served as Grand Chancellor in the state from 1892 to the present time, declining the office for two years, 1897-98; but being re-elected in 1899, he has been continued in that office ever since. He succeeded S. W. Starks in 1908 as Supreme Chancellor and was elected to that office in 1909, and has been re-elected at every session since. The Supreme Lodge meets in convention every two years. At the last convention held in St. Louis, over 4,000 uniform rank members were encamped, while fully 10,000 delegates and friends attended the sessions. Twenty-four grand lodges from as many states were represented; and the military parade, the climax to the convention, was pronounced one of the most impressive and beautiful ever witnessed in St. Louis. Crowds of people in every walk of life lined the streets and applauded the Knights as they passed by. The competitive drill, which took place at night in the great Coliseum, attracted a crowd that filled the building to its utmost capacity. Take it by large, this convention held the Coliseum to enable aable sentiment and will long linger in the minds of the people as indicating the dignity and self-respect of a class struggling for fair play and justice. At this convention the illuminating facts were brought out that the resources of the Knights of Pythias amount to $1,770,000 in cash and property. Eleven magnificent Grand lodge temples have been erected, ranging in value from $25,000 to over $200,000; while many temples owned by local lodges run into large investments. The Supreme Lodge owns a row of THE PYTHIAN TEMPLE New Orleans, La., Costing $200,000, brick flats in Chicago valued at nearly $50,000, a bath house and sanitarium at Hot Springs, Arkansas, valued at $22,000, and other valuable property. At the last session the Supreme Lodge was authorized to erect in Chicago a temple to cost $200,000. The following statement from his official report shows the growth and financial resources of the order at the pressure one. Number of lodges July, 1917, 3,113; number of members July, -1917, 118; 210 Total amount of endowment paid out for the term ending July 1, 1917, $935,153.64. Amount of endowment in treasury July 1, 1917, $463,688.08. Increase over last term, $124,850.02. Amount of Grand Lodge funds on hand July 1, 1917, $42,356.62. Amount of Supreme Lodge funds on hand July 1, 1917, $16,936.32. Value of property owned by Grand Lodges, $702,848.90. Value of property owned by Supreme Lodges, $70,000. Value of property owned by Subordinate Lodges, $474,619.93. Total resources, $1,770,449.75. A man who stands for so much and who has achieved so much for the material upbuilding of the race, cannot be stigmatized or held in contempt, once his history is well known. Chancellor Green is a man of vision and purpose and the great $200,000 temple erected by his faith in the race at New Orleans, stands as a monument to his genius for organizing and holding harmoniously together members of the Negro race. ```markdown ``` n Hair Store an on the Pacific Coast where you ostume for Masquerade Balls, RED BLUFF NEWS Miss Lucille Woote after visiting her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Clinton for two weeks, left for her home in San Francisco Sunday morning.
