You Owe the Bundy Benefit Your Support ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE PICO : 28 VOLUME 31 You Ow REV. J. LOGAN CRAW, Pastor of Historic Eighth and Towne Avenue Church Wins Honorable Connectional Mention From the Christian Recorder --- The Otficial Organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Church The following is an editorial pertaining to Easter day returns by Prof. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor:* "Now and then we hear of men who want the honors of the Church. It is well to know the men who want these honors, and to know those who are doing the work of the Church. See how many are in both lists. "We are publishing this week the first returns sent by Dr. Rankin, our Missionary Secretary, and we note with pleasure the increase over last year. Euclid Avenue Church, Pittsburgh, pastored by Rev. H. P. Jones, still has the lead. Dr. Jones raised $300; sent in $150 to Dr. Rankin for Missions. Knowink the church and knowing the man we are not surprised. The church-at-large ought to know more about Dr. Jones. He is followed by Dr. S. S. Morris, of Norfolk, Va., a member of our own Publishing Board, and pastor of historic St. John's, who sent $112.50, thus leading the Second District. The leader of the First District is Dr. R. Cooper, the successful pastor of Bethel, New York, who sends in $105, thus keeping that historic church in the front ranks. Rev. E. H. Hunter, of Portsmouth, Va., comes fourth with an even $100; others who sent in less than $100 and not less than $50, are Rev. W. D. Cook, of Bethel, Chicago; $80; Revs. C. S. Williams, of Bethel, Indianapolis, W. Spencer Cappellier, of Bridge Street, Brooklyn, and J. S. Jackson, of Cleveland, Ohio; $75 each; R. V. Franch, of St. Philips, Savannah, Ga.; $55; R. H. Singleton, of Bethel Church, Atlanta; D. P. Roberts, of Allen Temple, Cincinnati; Timothy Reeves, of Wayman Chapel, Chicago; J. Logan Craw, of Los Angeles, Cal.; $50 each. The reports are far from complete, and many of the leading churches of the connection are missing from the list which we publish, but we presume in Dr. Rankin's next published statement their names will appear, and it may be that the records now set, may be surpassed by those who send in their reports. We note with pleasure the increased contributions from smaller churches. While we give praise to the great churches which turn in large amounts, we give no less praise to the small churches where the sacrifice is just as great and the heroism just as brave. God knows the humble pastor, who does his duty because it is his duty, and seeks not the applause of men. The small churches giving in larger proportion per member are an indication of the work which would be done were these churches larger. From week to week as these reports are published, we will see who is doing the work, and how African Methodism is rallying to the great cause of missions. Miss Mary G. Evans, noted evangelist of Indianapolis, Ind., will conduct revival meetings at First A. M. E. church, Eighth and Towne avenue, beginning Sunday, May 5, and continuing until Thursday night, May 23. What promises to be one of the most helpful revival meetings ever conducted in this city is that which will be launched at historic Eighth and Towne Avenue Church, the first Sunday in May, and continued through to Thursday night, May 23. Miss Evans comes heralded one of the foremost evangelists of the great A.M.E. connection. Her early education was obtained in the grammar and high schools of Chicago, while her theological training was obtained at Payne Theological Seminary, Wilberforce, Ohio. Miss Evans has traveled over the entire country, north, south, east, west, and has won thousands of souls to Christ. She has visited Europe, Asia, Africa, Italy, Greece, Turkey, the Holy, Land and Egypt. Rev. J. Logan Graw, pastor, extends an invitation to all Christian and unsaved souls to take advantage of this revival meeting and be benefited by this unusual soul-saving campaign. DR. LEROY BUNDY We can never forget that terrible massacre at East St. Louis. Its sting cannot be extracted, no matter what the future may bring forth. Innocent negroes who pursued the even tenor of their way in quest of a daily existence found themselves face to face with a brutal, fiendish and cowardly mob. The California Eagle Shot down like animals in the jungles, crimes perpetrated against them too terrible to relate, atrocities whose brutalness would make Germany blush, what an awful stain upon the emblem of a free republic? In the midst of this hellish outburst there were some things which bade the dawn of a better day—the negroes struck back. With odds against him, he fought and left the carcasses of a few roughnecks to tell the tale. I'm glad of that. I decry the needless shedding of blood, the deliance of law, but I say with President Wilson, "We will meet force with force." If a human life is precious we should preserve it. The sooner we adopt the law of self preservation, we will stop lynching and all its kindred evils. But I am leaving my story. Dr. Bundy was in East St. Louis at the time of the riot. They claim that he stood up for his rights, helped defend his people who were denied protection, and in so doing sent a few scalawags to Germany before they intended to go. He was in jail, but is now out on bond awaiting trial. They want his scalp, and we should fight to the last ditch to see that they don't get it. He did kill a few of them, I say "hurrah," and help him for his courageous stand. If he did not (and he says he didn't), we are bound to keep him from being so greatly wronged. The Raffia Club has given itself to this noble task. It wants you to assist them. If you care anything for treedom, if you have a heart able to be touched with a thrilling appeal, show your colors. A benefit for this fund is to be given May 3. I hope that when the list shall be read your name will appear. Let us stand together. If we fall, let it be in a heap. REV. B. C. ROBESON APPRECIATION The morning I left Los Angeles will long linger in my mind. The evidence of sincerity esteem touched my heart to its depths. I wish to thank all who helped to send me away in such a fine frame of mind. To Mrs J. M. Scott and the members of the Welfare Committee. I say, "You will not be forgotten! I am real proud of my button. A white gentleman asked me this morning its significance. I replied, "I'm a son of Los Angeles, and she wants you to know." To Mrs. Warner, Edwards, Gottschalk and others of the Harriet Tubman Red Cross, I say, "God bless you!" I peeped in my bundle when I got on the train. I made so much fun the folks wondered what was up. After gazing on the contents, all became my friends. "To my friends at Zion, "You drew me nearer to you in those few moments, and I am not certain that I won't turn around yet before reaching Louisville." My deep appreciation goes out to all. You shall hear from me again. Gratefully. REV. B. C. ROBESON MURDER CHARGE AGAINST DUARTE CITIZEN The finding of the body of Frank Sonopin, a Mexican, on a road leading from Duarte, on the morning of February 23, under circumstances that seemed to indicate murder, has resulted in the detention of Jeff Thompson, a colored citizen of that place. Thompson, together with his wife has resided in Duarte for about five years. He is a picturesque and well-known character. His many friends of both races are firm in the belief of his innocence, and confidently look forward to his acquittal. At the preliminary examination held before Justice Burr of Monrovia Thompson was remanded for trial in the Superior Court at Los Angeles, on May 20. Attorney E. Burton Ceruti has been retained to defend him, and interest promises to center around the trial. ON THE WING Eagle Editor on His Annual Visit Leaving San Francisco we again visited Oakland. We met T. E. Smith, general agent of the National Insurance Co., with offices' on Central avenue. He was up to induct into office a new agent for, Oakland. Mr. Smith expressed his appreciation for the Eagle by an invitation to dinner which we accepted. Here we also met Mr. Wm. Miles, proprietor of the Pot Roast Cafe on Seventh St. Mr. Miles formerly lived at Monrovia and knows a host of people in Southern California. We found him a pleasant gentleman to meet and he enjoys a lucrative trade. We also met Mrs. Johnson, 1689 Tenth St., who is preparing to become a citizen of Los Angeles. She will leave to join her husband who is in McCloud, as soon as the school is out at which her very bright daughter is attending. We visited the Undertaking Establishment of Hudson and Butler, located on 8th street, found Mr. L. M. Hudson in charge. He is a very pleasant and affable gentleman and we are indeed proud to know that this firm is keeping pace with the times and gained the confidence of the people of this San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 27, 1918 22 --- community. They conduct an up-to-date and highly creditable establishment. We visited our good friend, Attorney George Ingraham and found him as usual very busy attending to the business of his many clients. He was profuse in his praise of the Soaring Eagle. We assured him that we appreciate his encouragement and that we have in this section such a worthy counselor as George Ingraham. Probably the most pretentious business conducted by a colored man in Oakland is the "Shining Parlors" conducted by George Turner, 411 Fourteenth street. The place which employs fully 14 persons, is a veritable bee hive, of industry, and the customers in the long line of seats on each side of the room are always waiting. Piles of shoes are on hand, which keep two or more persons busy at all times. Turner's success in this line of effort is a practical demonstration of the possibilities along business lines. The place is kept spotlessly clean, ornamented with pictures, bric a brac and brass. Everything at this emporium seems to be strictly business and on that principle George Turner has built a business which is a high credit not only to Oakland, but to California as well. C Russell is the manager, while Miss Ferguson and Mrs Hickerson are assistants and cashiers. Six ladies and eight men are on Turner's pay roll. We next Visited the "Bay Cities Investment Company" with its genial manager, Mr. E. B. Gray, in charge, located in the heart of the business section of the city in the Blake block. Mr. Gray, before coming to Oakland, was prominent in business circles in Nevada at Tomopah. He looked over Los Angeles and Oakland and chose the latter place for his activities. We feel that Los Angeles MRS. M. C. who is conducting revival service MRS. M. C. HARRIS HERE Mrs. M. C. Harris of Cincinnati the noted Evanlist of the A.M. E church of that city will be at the Second A.M. E church Sunday, and will speak as follows: Morning, subject, "The Home of the Soul," 3pm, subject, "The Dime Potter," 5pm, subject, "The Conqueror From Eden" All are cordially invited to attend REV W MILTON TYLER, P.C. was unfortunate in losing this versatile and go forward business man. He is a man with a vision of great possibilities for his Race and not content with that vision, he can execute and take hold of big things and goes through with them. These are the sort of men we need to bring the Race to the forefront along business lines. We looked in on the office of the Oakland Sunshine and found the proprietor, J. M. Bridges, on deck with a smile indicating the fact that the name of his publication was ripping true. The Sunshine, under the management of Rev. G. C. Coleman, is showing marked improvement andoring to the front as never before. Both Bridges and Coleman are broadgauged men, that we can discern, unless they overload their staff with dead ones they will pull the hill. We found Serman A. Bridges, who conducts a first class print shop, still on the job and getting his share of the business. Attorney Oscar Hudson, the brilliant and energetic force with the people, lives in Oakland but his office is located in San Francisco. Hudson has built up a prosperous clientage and is withal one of the Bay Cities most useful citizens. Leaving Oakland on Thursday, the 18th, we journeyed to Vallejo, at which place is located the Mare Island Navy Yard. There are employed here, we were informed, 7000 men and employing new ones as fast as they apply. The minimum wage for unskilled labor is $3.60 odd cents, while skilled labor and mechanics earn as high as $7, $8 and $10 per day. Many colored men are employed here. We met E. U. Moore and L. J. Williams, both of whom hold clerical positions in the Yard. Mr. Moore is one of the progressive and leading citizens of this section. L. J. Williams is a former educator of note of Missouri and Tekas, and for the past few years has been located here. He is well abreast of the times and takes a lively interest in racial advancement. We met U. R. Dunn; now be it known that Dunn, who is a notary, expressman and all around business man, is a hustler, from way back. While there we witnessed the dexterity in which he commandeered the autos which he owns as well as the other business which comes his way. Dunn, with his two sons, will give a good accounting of Vallejo's Colored population along business lines. W. Watkins conducts a social club at which soft drinks are served and his action in patronizing such worthy business efforts as this paper, speaks louder than words that he stands for Race progress. By this time we had found our very good friend, A. B. Caviel, who had just returned from a trip to San Francisco. Now Caviel is a man who stands for the material and moral uplift of his Race to the utmost, and is also a clerk at the Navy Yard on Mate Island. A man of large heart and whose friendship is genuine. He made us feel at home and missing our last train, he would not hear of our going by auto to make a late train, but insisted that we accept his hospitality for the evening. We met Mrs. Caviel, who is an estimable woman, and their three daughters, one of whom is now attending the high school of Vallejo. In the Capital City Leaving Vallejo Friday am we ar- rived at Sacramento at noon on the same day. We found the beautiful C. HARRIS. Prices at Second A. M. E. Church city amid the throes of a Liberty Bond campaign and our people doing well their bit toward making the same a success. We were pleased to note the praises and satisfaction of the army of Eagle readers for the efforts we have made to make the Soaring eagle a real newspaper. Mrs. J. W. Scott, the local representative, has made an entitle reputation as a pamstaking and obliging correspondent. While here we stopped at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Scott and they did everything possible to make our stay pleasant. Mr. Scott is one of the Capital City's industries, solid and reliable citizens and for many years has worked for the leading show emporium of this city. We also met that prince of good fellows, T. H. Walker, prominent business man, who conducts one of the leading shaving parlors in the city. We met and lunched with, Mr. W. Slaughter and his estimable wife, also enjoyed the hospitality at dinner of the old war horse for advancement, Jacob Soreas. We were not overlooked by the mail carrier. E. H. Johnson and Mr. Wailo Flood and De Claybrook, and also dined on Tuesday, evening with and Mrs. E. W. Robinson, parents of our own Mrs. H. D. Greer of Los Angeles, and truly while ye editor was on the wing for business the good people of Sacramento saw to it that we were not neglected in the least. On Sunday we met with the Lyceum, of which our former townman, J. W. Mills, is the president, and enjoyed the pleasure of addressing this body. Mr Mills is entering into the civic life of the capital city and already his presence for good is telling. We visited the A. M. E. church on Sunday evening and were pleased to meet our good friend, Rev. A. Wilson, whom we knew years ago in Kansas. We also met Rev. T. A. Harvey, former pastor of St. Andrew's church, but now waging a campaign to build an A. M. E. Zion church. He also informed us that he is the local editor of the Oakland Sunshine, that he is a very busy man, but equal to the occasion of being an editor as well as preacher. While here we paid our respects to Governor Stephens, State Treasurer Richardson, Hon. E. A. Dickson, Sur- veyor Kingsbury, and other State officials, all of whom rendered to us every courtesy and spoke in the highest commendation of the Soaring Eagle. (To be continued next week) THE BROADWAY DEPARTMENT STORE MUST LET US KNOW For more than twenty years the California Eagle has been writing and publishing an advertisement once a year, at Christmas time for this store. We have always unsparingly congratulated the entire management of this, as we considered it broad gauged store, but this week our attention was called to what we consider a very serious matter, and this is what it was and is. On Wednesday, two neatly dressed Colored girls, who are employed downtown, went into the Broadway's Basement Tea Room, sat at a table to be served, not thinking that they would be refused because they had been served in the past. But the head of the department had changed hands. A Southern Woman "niggar hater" is now in charge, so after sitting out their time and seeing that they were not going to be served the girls left, and at the close of the day came down and reported the case to me. I told them to meet me at the store Thursday, and I would see what could be done. Hence at noon Thursday I met the girls and with them went into the lunch room, took our seats at the table and waited some little time, when a waiter finally took our orders and served us in the meanest fashion to meatless and butterless sandwiches and cocoa minus cream. We paid no attention to this difference, but feasted sumptuously, paid our bill and on our way out accosted the head waitress at the desk—the girls having having already told me that she said that they did not wish to serve colored. I quietly asked the young woman if this was true and she primped up her face and said, "yes." I said to her, "Well, why did you serve us today?" Because we can't refuse you, was the answer. Again I asked, "Where did you receive your orders to instruct Col- order citizens that they were not wanted at this department of the Broadway" From the head of the department, was the ready answer. I informed the young ladies that I was an American citizen and as long as they stayed open I expected to be served. Now while the world wide night for Democracy is on, let us see about our rights as citizens of this commonwealth. Unless the Broadway will correct this result to a large percentage of our best patronage, let's try the boycott proposition on her. Yours to right for the right.

Dones reports the following sales for this week: Mr. and Mrs. Holcomb of 1139 E. 29th St., purchased a beautiful bungalow at 1221 East 28th St. Same was advertised in last week's Eagle. Mr. Hays of 946 East 31st St. bought two houses located at 1138 and 1140 E. 20th St. Mr. Bedford, 1458 East 23rd St. 5-rim cottage same address. Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Royland have moved into their beautiful home at 1308 West 35th Place. Mrs. Stevens and Mrs. Moland have rented their home to Mr. and Mrs. Cox of Hollywood. The public is waking up to the worth of our own real estate dealer in the person of Sidney P. Dones, who has set a new record in selling homes to our people. He is a boy in appearance, but has proven that achievement is worth a great deal more than complaint. He is optimistic, courteous and pleasant to every one he meets, always ready to assist in any worthy cause that is of an interest to our Ree. We will do well to stand behind him, as surely some day Dones will be a shining light in the business world. IN URGENT APPEAL The Woman's Day Nursery Association is calling on the public to assist it in the care of three orphan children until direct help comes from another source by attending the grand recita of the Ohio and Louisiana Quartette, Tuesday night, May 14, at Wesley M. E. Church, Eighth and San Julian streets. The Quartette will be assisted by other talent, who are giving their bit to help the Nursery Home. Mrs. C. A. Murdock, of the Murdock Studio of Music, having heard for what this recital is being given and who is the accompanist for the Quartette, reduced her price for her services to a small sum regardless of the hard work required for several rehearsals she will have to give. Everyone appearing on the program is a star in the music world, therefore you will enjoy an evening of high class entertainment. This is the time to buy Liberty bonds, and we ask you to also take out a $500 bond in this issue. Our most efficient matrons in the persons of Mrs. Yaney and Mrs. Stewart, also our superintendent, Mrs. Skanks, are doing all in their power to more properly train these children whose training "has been so sadly neglected. We have tickets for this benefit in the hands of ladies all over the city and when one is presented to you if it reeds, "Ohio and Louisiana Quartette" don't hesitate to buy. TO THE LADIES OF THE COMMUNITY AND Y. M. C. A. AUXILIARY The secretary of the Y. M. C. A. has informed us that provisions for a dressing room for ladies at the Y. M. C. A. will be prepared inside the next fifteen days so that any women or girls who desire the use of the gymnasium and swimming pool may have that privilege. All who contemplate taking a part are requested to call Main 5819 and leave your name and address with Mr. Greene, who will in turn give it to me to record.

CHURCH Sunday was a great day at Wesley M. E. church. At 11 am, the pastor's sermon on "How to Win the War" was a great treat. Many requests have been made that it be repeated at an early date. A very appreciative audience heard the sermon by the Rev. F. I. Davis at the evening service on "Consider the Lilies." Seven persons united with the church in the drive to secure 30 new members to represent each year at the 30th anniversary services Sunday, May 5. The collection by the newcomers was quite gratifying. This Sunday will be Old Timers' Day. At 11 am, the pastor will preach on "Pathfinders." At 7:45 p.m. Rev. A. Lively of the New Hope Baptist church will preach a special sermon to the 10th Timers.

CHURCH 1406 Newton St. Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor The services at this church on the past Sunday were of the highest order. The pastor, preached at the morning service to a large and appreciative congregation. In the afternoon Dr. A. P. Shaw of Wesley Chapel, accompanied by the splendid choir and orchestra of this great metropolitan church were present. Dr. Shaw preached an able sermon and the Holy Spirit was present in demonstration and power. The choir of this great church charmed the congregation with the songs of Zion. At night the house was crowded to hear the choir in their rendition of the cantata, "The Story of Calvary." The choir acquitted themselves nobly and words of commendation and praise were heard on every hand. The pastor leaves on Sunday night for Chicago for the General Conference. The quarterly meeting will be held this Sunday and the congregation is expected to be present in large numbers to partake of the communion.

At the morning hour Pastor Greggs delivered a forceful and inspiring sermon on the subject, "Pressing On." Text, Phil 3:13-14. In the afternoon he delivered a very eloquent message to the Los Angeles Pioneer Club, the occasion being their anniversary service. In the evening the pastor concluded a busy day with another soul stirring sermon. Eight accessions to membership were recorded, one happily converted. In addition to performing excellent work as christier, Prot. Johnson is touching many hearts with Gospel soot. The Fisk Jubilee Concert was a grand success.

The second quarterly church conference of this church will be held on next Monday evening, the 29th inst. A great time is anticipated. BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH F. C. Cothran. Minister Did not our hearts burn within us as he unfolded to us the Scriptures: 11 a.m. "Man's Thoughts and God's Way." The lesson to keep is that God has a way, it is a highway. At 3 p.m the church assembled and extended a final call to Rev. F. C Cothran. Rev.

D. Gordon Rev. R. D. Arline has received the support of San Diego ministers of both races there for the conduct of a big union meeting. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE GATIONAL CHURCH Beginning with the Sunday School, which was a record breaker in attendance and interest, all the services of this church were enjoyed by the worshippers on last Sunday. The pastor spoke at the morning hour on "Christian Loyalty". At the evening service he gave his first in a series on "Congregationalism", the special topic being, "It's Origin". The Ladies Aid Society had a very enthusiastic meeting last Thursday afternoon. Their next meeting will be Thursday, May 2nd at the parsonage. All members are urged to be present. All the usual services on next Sunday. A hearty welcome to all. The choir has recently made another choreo. Owing to the impossibility of Mrs. M. Mills, the choirist, to act as director any longer, it was necessary to find a new director, so Miss Maynard, formerly of Alhambra was selected by the Trustees as the person fitted for the position. She has shown her talent in handling music at several occasions. With the co-operation of the choir members we shall soon have a very efficient choir. Warning has gone out from time to time that the last payment in the Sacrifice Rally is coming nearer and nearer. This is positively the last chance to free the church from debt. For this reason the pastor and Trustees are anxious to have everyone prepared for May 12, 1918. The slogan is "Prepare and beware, Go Get the Money." SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH MAPLE AVE. Superintendent S. P. Jones was home from his visit to the north. The full corps of teachers and a large attendance of the Sunday school gave him a hearty greeting. The lesson on "The Transiguration," was very enthusiastically gone over by the teachers, with explanations by the pastor. New scholars were given welcome. A very large audience listened to Dr. Crowd's earnest sermon on the text. Matthew 24:44: "Be Ye Also Ready." Expressions of approval were heard all over the church, especially from those not being able to control their emotions, while some showed silent but serious concern in the subject presented. The B.

PASADENA NOTES Sunday services at our church were carried through in an excellent manner by the earnest assistance of the church officers and friends. In the Sunday School an interesting discussion took place; the majority seemed so interested in this session that it was held a little overtime. The pastor occupied the pulpit at both morning and evening services and preached two of his oldest inspiring sermons, of such nature that they will be long remembered. Both sermons were compact with delightful observations of humane psychology and of nature observations in humane life. The Allen Christian Endeavor started, off with a snappy characteristic that prevailed in the other evening service. For next Sunday the Endeavor League has arraigned to have a program of such nature that it will be an adequate means of inspiring everybody, who can possibly come out, to do so regularly. Several preachers were at the evening services at 8:00 o'clock. Rev. Taylor stated that so many preachers around him at the services reminded him of conference.

This organization is a high credit to the fraternal craft and is an object lesson of real merit and worth. Our organizations throughout this section would do well to emulate the example of Sacramento Lodge, the name of which rests high upon the roll of honor. CHINESE LOTTERY Up in Oakland we noticed that Chinese lottery tickets seemed to be as staple as sugar and coffee, nothing at all to see people walking up and down the streets with their hands full of tickets, making their choice of characters for the next drawing. In the meantime the heaten Oriental is waving fat off Samba. We are told the players include all classes; that even some of the preachers thereabout are experts at the game and are among the leading patrons of these joints. Of all the games of hazard the percentage in this game is the least to win than in any gambling game. A player has 999 chances to lose and 1 to win; it is just the same as holding two six-shots in a man's face and telling him to give up his money. This is a pernicious and damning curse on the bodily politic and it should be suppressed. It exists not only in Oakland, but everywhere else in California and just why the officers cannot get wise to the same and suppress it is an enigma to us. The promised roll call on the professional men, preachers, and Race leaders will soon come forth. Who will be able to qualify? We are at this writing among our people over the State and constant inquiry as to the opportunity of procuring land, particularly the land in Lower California, consciences us that our people are waking up to the fact that if they scale the heights and go over the top in the mighty march of progress, it must be brought about by becoming producers instead of being simply consumers. The Eagle is strong for the Race to acquire acreage and produce from the soil its products and by so doing they will not only provide a competence for themselves and their families but they will take their part as real industrial factors in this country. They will provide the sinews of real development along all lines, and we, therefore, advise the purchase of acreage wherever it may be procured, and we look with high favor on the proposition of that unequaled land in Lower California. Now while assured of our status, knowing full well that we have a right to a place in the sun, we must keep moving to make our condition more self-supporting by becoming real producers. LET THESE PEOPLE GO Two more Lynchings in the Southland remind us of Pharaoh's time! The Lord sent plagues, Pharaoh promised to let the Israelites go, but just before they were released he hardened his heart. So the Southern cracker hardens his heart, his sense of brutality returns even as it is demonstrated that there are none who excel the American Negro in loyalty and love to country, and continues his luxurious pastime of lynching and burning, but we have an abiding faith that the day of reckoning is close, at hand and if these Southern crackers are not drowned in the Red Sea they will in some other manner be overwhelmed, for they must let the people go. THE EAGLE'S CHILDREN MAKING GOOD We really feel that at this time we have much to be thankful for. Little more than three years ago it was our privilege to meet a Miss Susie Lynch who was at that time a resident of this city. She impressed us as being a splendid young woman, and we did not hesitate to encourage her by publishing from time to time, her literary bits in prose and poetry. Miss Lynch was ambitious, which trait we rejoiced in to the utmost and oftimes grieved because we realized that she, too, must suffer many disadvantages on account of her color, the impediment in the way of Race Progress in this country, but Miss Lynch is made of that sort of material that never gives up. Our readers will remember that it was Miss Lynch who traveled with us last summer on our eastern trip as far as St. Louis, and as we parted in that great middle western city her last utterances to us were filled with hope—not only for her own future, but likewise for her Race. Today we have before us a letter from Miss Lynch stating that she had been appointed matron of the City Open Air School of her home town, Jacksonville, Ill. A few months ago Floyd G. Snelson, Jr., a young man who was a perfect stranger in the city, came into our office and expressed a desire to do newspaper work in this city. After listening to his testimony we immediately placed him on our staff as staff reporter, and for upwards of two months young Snelson made both young and old THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Snelson left us to serve Uncle Sam and is now located at League Island, Philadelphia, Pa. Little more than two years ago, Rev B. C. Robeson, a young minister, we believed possessing those sterling qualities that make reaf men, came also into our city life. Discovering that he was brim full of thought, we suggested that he would once in a while give vent through the columns of the California Eagle. This jee did, and now many of our readers look forward with no small degree of interest to the coming of his articles, but he, too, has answered the call of Uncle Sam and we must henceforth look forward to the coming of Rev Robeson's message from some where in one of Uncle Sam's camps, where men are being trained for chaplain. And even though we have given so much to the cause we still have our our staff some valuable material—our work shop is presided over by California's pioneer printer, Mr. John C. Wood. Miss Brickhouse, who presides over our business office, also a splendid young woman starting but a few months ago as raw material, has made greater progress in the business walk than we are able to describe. In spite of the fact that our aim has always been to encourage particularly the young men and women of our Race, our light has been almost single handed in the business arena. The sources from which we could have expected actual support gave us a bump. Negro men who pronounce themselves loyal Race men, are not aware of the fact that we give more than we receive, hence we have no waiting secretaries to edit the various kinds and styles of copy that come into our office. Truly we sometimes spend midnight oil trying to put copy in reading shape, but as a rule it would take a first class fortune teller to decipher much of it, and yet some of our big knockers get up in public places and say that we never get things right—that sort of encouragement has kept the Negro business aspirant on the ground floor for the past fifty years, and will continue to do so, so long as the public lends an ear to that sort of oratory. What we need, Mr. "Knocker" from you, is a year's subscription for the paper. We want business enough—we mean paying business, that will enable us to employ sufficient competent help to do things as the white folk do them. Now friend, stop knocking; we need you in our big boosters' brigade—we want to establish a business that will be a credit to you and an avenue through which your boy and girl may attain the ambition of his youth, but it takes finance, not air that's neither hot nor cold, to do this. THE LIBERTY LOAN AND BUSINESS "What has the Liberty Loan to do with the refrigeration business?" was asked by a subscriber in the fastnesses of the Rocky Mountains of the editor of the Refrigeration World. The answer was sound and patriotic. "At this critical time the success or failure of the impending loan have more to do with refrigeration than even the machinery and chemicals used in producing refrigeration. If the loan fails, everything else will fail with it. All business will eventually be prostrated; nothing States to see that the Liberty Loan does not fail. They should buy It is the business of every business and business man in the United could thrive." Liberty Bonds; they should encourage and assist others to buy them. No business in the United States is going to succeed if the Liberty Loan fails—it the Nation fails. It is better business to buy Liberty Bonds than to pay indemnities to a victorious Germany; it is better business to win this war than to have our foreign commerce subject to the dictation of the Postdam Government. The welfare, the success, the prosperity, the liberty and the happiness of every American is bound up in the Nation's success. We supply our own叔iant patern not opposing our arities. We are fighting for freedom and justice and humanity and civilization. But we are also fighting for the maintenance of our commercial rights, for the rights of our citizens to pursue their lawful journeys on the seas and transport their commerce to foreign markets. It is patriotic, and a duty, to buy Liberty Bonds. It is also good business to do it. LENDING THEIR BEST CUSTOMERS The proceeds of the Liberty Loan, including the greater part of that loaned to our Allies, are being spent for American products—the products of our factories, our stains, our矿es, and other industries. In lending to the United States the people of the United States are lending to their best and largest customer and obtaining the safest investment in the world. THE MONEY COMES BACK The cycle of money invested in Liberty Bonds is short and complete. The people lend the money to the Government, the Government lends to our Allies, and our Government and our Allies straightway spend the money, or the greater portion of it, among the people of the United States. In some instances the money paid in by wage earners on one installment of Liberty Bonds is paid by the Government to their employers, and by their employers paid back to them in the way of wages before the next Bond installment is due. SHORTEN THE WAR The sooner the irresistible might of this great Republic is organized and put into full action the sooner the war will end. Every dollar invested in Government securities works to shorten the war, to save the lives of American soldiers and sailors. LIBERTY AND LABOR The hope of labor lies in the opportunities for freedom; military domination, supervision, checks, bondage, he in Prussian rule It is not through a German regime but through democracy that labor is to receive adequate recognition and its realization of its rightful place in the world.

DOUBLY S'PRISED By Idell Albritton It all happened because there were two consecutive birthdays in a single household. "As wife and friend her power for thought was doubly taxed," it must be a surprise" she tended with a bite of finger nail and nod of the head. Together as friends they giggled and whispered over "surprising the 'hubby' Wife and 'hubby' planned to give the friend the surprise of her life. But there was a unisexevious twinkle in the wife's eye and a sinotroiled laugh whenever she found herself alone. Tuesday evening the guests assembled at the home of Mr and Mrs Surrey and Miss A. Johnson of W. Moth street. The atmosphere was charged with gagety and perfume of flowers. A chandelier in the hallway was changed into a large bell of lilies. Pink and white rose in large numbers were banqueted around in every book and corner, giving the room the setting of a garden of Miss Johnson's smile said, "We will certainly surprise him" to every guest, Mr Surrey greeted all as honorary guests to Miss Johnson. The guests smiled knowingly into the face of the hostess, Mrs. Surrey. So the evening was passed in merry games until Mrs. Surrey appeared with a large birthday cake on which the candles of life years burned briefly. Miss Johnson looked quickly at Mr. Surrey and Mr. Surrey was looking at her. In a minute Mrs. W Johnson appeared with another large birthday cake. The faces on Miss Johnson and Mr Surrey were blank as they turned them in mutual inquiry on the hostess. The hostess, gurgling with laughter informed them that in working for each other they had been working for themselves. While the guests cheered a lionad of beautiful gifts were showered down on the dumb-bounded recipients. "All's well that ends well." Everyone departed with a smile and felt just one hundred per cent better when the evening had passed and the naughty time-piece said that the small hours of morning had crept in unawares and unwelcome.

Armstrong who heads the Lower California Mex- Land and Development Company's movement in the Imperial Valley and guarantees that 1500 acres of this company's land will be spruced by New residents of the valley. He will be in charge of valley agents. This able leader and typical raceman with his good wife and family are living examples of what the Negro can do. Mr. Armstrong is now farming a ranch covering an area a little square planted to cotton, corn and alfalfa. He uses a tractor in the first breaking of his ground and has one of the finest equipments of plow, harrows and cultivate in the valley. While we were in the purchased span of horses costing $420 and one extra horse for $196. His daily expenses approximate $100. For example his last month's account was more than $200. Mr. Armstrong is highly respected by the white people of the valley and is an authority on soil and agriculture. He has the confidence of all the colored people of the valley and is named by them as the leading rancher of the valley. Mr. Armstrong realizes the valley lands are too costly to be purchased by Negroes and while the valley attaches to a good place to work as laborers, renters or bearers of land the Lower California Mexican Land and Development Company gives them the opportunity to own land. He states that it is possible at the low price of $20 per acre to town of El Centro. Californian Imperial Brawley, California and surrounding places are taking the initiative the 7500 acres in sale by the company. With him in the valley Elmo W. Tray presiding, Hugh L. Macbeth, secretary and Director J. N. Littlepohl of the Lower California Land Trust, were built out transect and ditch by Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Armstrong of Hobber, the California Brothers of El Centro and Mrs. R. L. Alexander of El Centro. Among the agents and boosters for the company, who will under the supervision of Mr. Armstrong and Director, Littlepohl in the valley are Rev. and Mrs. Geo. Moore of Calexico and Imperial Rev. Dyer of Calexico, Mr. Hamilton Latt of Calexico, Jr. and Mrs. F. A. Mander of El Centro, Mr. Carlo and Mr. W. W. Armstrong of El Centro. Other residents of the valley desiring to be agents may consult Mr. Armstrong of Hobber, Mr. Littlepohl of El Centro, or write the company at Los Angeles, Cal. The Company gave a stereopticon exhibition and lecture to the Second Baptist Church of which Rev Powell is pastor, and the congregation was crowded out into the vestibule of the church, by one of the most interested audiences we have ever met. At Calexico the Christian church was installed and the Pastor, Rev Dyer, stated the Calexico Investment Co. of which he was president, would purchase from 75 to 100 acres of the Lower California Company's land. We were very cordially received and refreshed by Mr. Lenga of the street department of Calexico. The EL Centro school teachers, the Misses Christman, Baber and Turner, extended us every courtesy and we were more than pleased with the high grade of work they are doing in training the minds of our youth and the special care they are giving to his high moral development. The school building and spacious green formerly the EL Centro high school buildings. They are nicely located, with large windows illuminated and well equipped rooms. The school is sadly imbedded of sanitary drinking equipment and the EL Centro parents should consult the board upon its immediate instalment. The sweetly rendered songs of the little children of El Centro's dark races are still ringing in my ears. May the tremendous responsibility resting upon the teachers of this school be ever present with them and may He who draws no color line give them strength to make those little black sheep an inspiration to the world. Last Sunday we attended a meeting of the Valley Baptists at the Imperial Baptist church. Rev. Geo. Moore, pastor, called for the purpose of considering the organization of a Baptist Association in the valley. The meeting was largely attended and the Association assured. We were in hearty accord with the movement, knowing full well that Christian co-operation widens its influence and gives a firmer foundation for the building up of a people. We left the valley somewhat loathe to leave our old friends residing there with the hope of meeting our new friends of the valley again soon. ```markdown ``` n Hair Store an on the Pacific Coast where you ostume for Masquerade Balls, The Lower California Mexican Land and Development Co.

El Bethel Church was crowded to its doors with Calexico's best citizens to see the stereooption views of the land and scenery of Lower California, shown by Lawyer McBeth. The funeral of little Ponnie Birts was preached by Rev Johnson at the Second Baptist Church on last Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. Little Ponnie was taken sick on his way to this place from Oklahoma and died last Friday night. He leaves a father, mother, sister and brother to mourn his loss. The services at El Bethel Church on last Sunday evening were well attended. The pastor, Rev E. G. Dyer, preached from 2 Peter 3:7, subject: The Sympathy at a Divine Care Bearer. He was quite effective. Five occasions to the church. Make no mind your idol. For the best you must have faults, and his will usually be your own in addition to your own. This is a true art as in morals. Yet it is a trick to misuse the world trust one wicked he is trusted by ones own intended. The earthquake on last Sunday afternoon out at 3:35 o'clock, brightened us so we weep not gotten over it yet. No damage was done in this city, it was not reported. Misses Marie Sims and Amina Lewis sang with the Glox Club of the high school last Friday evening. It is very sad indeed that Uncle Sam sent his Georgia soldiers to patrol this quiet border, as far as the people on our race is concerned, because they can't end uneasy breakers of color to knock over the head or shoot at to satisfy their hateful prejudice. Yet one of our best citizens, Rev. C. N. Moore, while taking a little walk this morning, walked upon the railroad bridge and back again to the public road, just about tour blocks this side of the line, and was shot at by one of the Georgia soldiers, marched to the custom house in trout of this little soldier and his big gun. The custom officer asked him what charge he had against him. He said he told him to hal, and he disobeyed him, so he fired on him four blocks this side of the line Why don't U. S. send him to the front? He's surely needed there. Half the wrongs people do to us are through sheet importance. We must he patient. In your patience possess ye your souls.
