And the pleasant land." Eight valiant women who believe in the slogan, "Be Something, Have Something, Do Something," less than six years ago met and organized in a wee small way a Woman's Business Club. Like the above sentiment their organization now bids to become a mighty force in the business world of this section. "Step by step they have accumulated in their treasury finances which enabled them in the last few days to undertake a business proposition which stands them more than $8,000,000; they have purchased the splendid property located at 1219 E. Adams street, which property is a lot 80 by 165 feet and has a large building of ten commodious rooms, the "Woman's Business Club" will maintain their headquarters here, and rent apartments and conduct the same in a thorough business way, ultimately they plan to erect here a building which will be a Property at 1219 E. Adams St. Purch ness lasting credit to this city and the same will be through the business acumen of the valiant women Its Origin Less than six years ago Mrs. Mary L. Motley of Amy street, conceived the idea of the women of her Race contributing to the success of the Race along business lines and called a few of the women of her immediate neighborhood together. They consulted over the matter and organized this club. They met from time to time, their treasury continued to grow, and as new members were only admitted on the payment of pro rata shares the payment to enter soon began to be of considerable portion, but these women kept on until at the present time we take it that a membership is worth real money. Personnel of the Club Mrs. Mary L. Motley, the president, is one of our foremost citizens THE WOMAN WHO WAS THE LADY OF THE WEST and prominent in, religious, fraternal and club circles. Under her leadership the organization has grown to its present proportions. Mrs. G. P. Peyton, vice president, like the president is an active worker along the same lines and has been a valuable asset to the upbuilding of the club. Mrs. A. M. Williams, the secretary, is also a tireless worker along the same line and has made an enviable record as the secretary of this club. Mrs. E. R. Baldwin, the treasurer, is well known in religious, fraternal and club circles and has been the The Women Big Busine Mrs. A. M. Williams Secretary Women's Business Club head of the Knights and Daughters of Africa since its incipiency. Mrs. Celia Brookins, Mrs. May Brookins Redlick, Mrs. Margaret Head and Miss Harriet Hollins, lay members, are also equally as prominent in the line of endeavor and have stood behind the officers of the company to the utmost, which has made possible its marvelous success. These women are of the plain, common, every day people, without based by the Colored Women's Business Club any frills or beating of drums' they have qualified on their slogan to Be Something, Have Something and Do Something and our men will do well to emulate their example. We congratulate them upon their progress and we are glad to exploit their ac- 2 complishment to the world. Mr. Sidney P. Dones, our hustling real estate dealer handled this deal and did so to the entire satisfaction of the club, and their judgment counts for much as they have demonstrated their ability to do business.

San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MAY 11, 1918 CALIFORNIA BOYS SELL LIB ERTY BONDS By Floyd G. Snelson, Jr. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. May 5, 1918 — The boys of the Hospital Unit No. 3 accepted the invitation of the Women's Liberty Loan Committee via Mrs. S. Willie Layten to sell bonds at the Gibson Theater, the largest colored theater (vaudeville) in America, at which time $4000 worth of bonds were realized during the two evening performances. The boys were highly congratulated for their patriotic services. The boys are very grateful to Mrs. Layten for her admirable consideration. The boys have entirely refrained from social functions and entertainment and have become greatly interested in baseball and out door sports. Sidney P. Dones, our own real estate broker, who handled big deal for the Woman's Business Club. Mr. Dones takes the lead as the most progressive colored real estate dealer in he west. This office is well having a real estate, insurance and legal department. Aside from this big deal, he is handling an apartment bond issue that will cost $60,000, and is selling from two to three houses to two or three houses to our people each week. His services are sought by some of the largest property owners in the city, as well as the majority of our people who are buying homes. His ability to secure a high class of homes, and at low prices, as well as easy terms, has caused hundreds of people to call on him for homes, who heretofore had not thought of buying. It would be well for our people who are renting property or who are in the market to buy, to see Mr. Dones at once. PROMIENT PORTLAND CITI- ZEN VISITS-LOS ANGELES Mr. Fred D. Thomas of Portland, Oregon, who conducts a leading catering business at that place and who is prominent in both religious and fraternal circles in that city is visiting Southern California this week and will remain here for some M. B. Mr. Fred D. Thomas of Portland, Oregon few days, his visit is for recreation and he is enjoying every minute of the time. He is entranced with the balmy climate and flowers, and says that he is having the time of his life meeting old friends and making new ones. Mr. Thomas, we learn from his friends, is well situated and prosperous. He is a widower and we of course know that will sometimes happen when the beauty of Southern California is accentuated by the fact that there reside in this bailiwick many eligibles from which any man may well be suited. LOS ANGELES HEIRESS MAK ING GREAT STRIDES IN THE MUSIC REALM Two Recitals in Fisk Memorial Miss Manila Owens was paid the unusually high compliment of an audience which almost filled Fisk Memorial Chapel last Sunday afternoon when she gave her graduating organ recital. The program has already been published in The Tennesseean and American. It was executed with an ease and skill which made the audience feel that the performer is one of the real artists in her work and mastery of the organ. Fisk has a great pride in Miss Owens' skill in performing on this instrument. At the same time she is one of the popular students in the university. Friday afternoon another member of the graduating class of the department of music—Miss Ruth Inez Rowan—gave a piano recital in the same place. One of the most unassuming of the pupils of this department, she is at the same time one of the most capable. A lay writer cannot describe an technical terms the character of the program which she rendered, but lay readers will understand what is meant by the simple statement that her playing completely charmed the audience. Fisk faculty and students are very proud of these two young musicians, and there will be genuine regret when their work at the university is completed. THE FAR FAMED EVANGELIST MISS MARY G. EVANS HOLD- ING FORTH AT 8th AND TOWNE'AVE. CHURCH. Billy. Sunday, when it comes, to speaking from the shoulder and creating real enthusiasm among the people in the interest of the salvation of souls, has nothing on the talented and forceful Gospel proacher in the person of Miss Mary E. Evans, who is conducting the revival services at the 8th and Towne E. Church and who will hold forth there until May 23rd. She is creating a furore in this city and great crowds nightly turn out to hear her, and before her time is half out it is quite likely that this edifice will fail to hold the people who desire to hear her. Don't fail to hear her, if you do you will want to hear her again and again. ELDORADO GOLD STAR MIN ING COMPANY'S STOCK ALWAYS PAR VALUE The EAGLE has no apology or anything to take back in representations we have published about the progress of the above company, we stand squarely back of everything we have said. We are particularly proud of this company, from the fact that it has demonstrated the possibility of an organization of the plain, common, everyday people, making absolutely good. We now are in a position to assert that this company will eventually succeed even to a greater extent than its most enthusiastic supporters, had hoped. 'Present developments indicate this fact. This week the company is loading ores, which it is shipping to the smelters at Salt Lake City, and is preparing to put a large force of workmen on the properties to extract and ship the ores. Stock Has Par Value A straw as to the stability of the company is gleaned from the following: Recently W. T. Geter of this city, died; time for burial came and the only possession of the deceased was 37 shares of stock in this company. The undertaker called up the company to ascertain the value of the same, they told him that they would be accepted at par value, and that they had on their books 53 more shares, making a total of 90, and to bury him and come up and get their money. Therefore, Geter, by possessing stock in this company was not a subject to charity or a prospect for the Potter's field. OLD TIMERS WIN In the first decisive battle of the financial war between the Old Timers and New Comers at Wesley M. E. church the Old Timers won, having collected $352.87. The New Comers collected $238.54. The financial war will be continued until the close of the $3000 rally, June 2. Brother O. S. Stout, the commander in chief of the New Comers, is lining up his mighty army of fresh reserves for the final smash when they plan to go over the top of the Old Timers and the $3000 also. Brother J. A. Jackson with his victorious army is confident of even a greater victory. The whole city is getting interested and is lining up on one side or the other. Watch the news in this paper for every movement of the "enemy" and every plan of the "friend" in this effort and lend your aid, be it large or small. REV. A. P. SHAW, Pastor: Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Pinchback (see Birdie Griffin) will be at home to their many friends at the Christmas apartments, Sunday, May 12th, from 3 to 5 p.m. BOONE NEWELL FOR SHERIFF OF KERN COUNTY D. Boone Newell, who for the past three years has served as Sheriff of Kern County, will again be candidate for that office at the primaries to be held August 27th, of this year, according to an announcement to the voters through this issue of the California Eagle. Patriotism and a pledge to do his best to enforce the laws is the keynote of Sheriff Newell's candidacy. Here is his announcement: "To the voters of Kern County: At this time when our country is A. at war, it is to be taken for granted that all of us who are loyal and patriotic citizens will do our utmost to win the war, but in announcing my candidacy for the office of Sheriff I cannot refrain from pledging myself to do all within my power, both as an individual and if re-elected, as a public official to aid the nation in any manner whatsoever to further its ends in the war into which it had been thrown. "For the last three years I have served as Sheriff of Kern County and my record is well known to most of the voters of the County. During those three years I have, tried at all times to handle my official duties with thoroughness, efficiency and dignity and I pledge to you that if re-elected I will not lessen my efforts in this direction in a single regard. "I believe in the practice of rigid economy in the discharge of all public duties and it shall ever be my endeavor to handle the office of Sheriff along that line. "I believe in equal privileges for all, and special favors for none, and if re-elected as Sheriff, will continue to carry out my duties in this manner the same as I have in the past. "Along the lines of these general pledges I shall conduct my campaign and submit to you my previous record as proof that if re-elected I will carry them out. "Yours truly, D.B. NEWELL. "Sheriff of Kern County." JOHN H. HARRIS FOR CORONER OF TULARE COUNTY J. M. (Josh) Hadley and his friends are desirous of the support of all the people for the position of Coroner and Public Administrator of Tulare County, and with much pleasure places his announcement in the California Eagle, which paper is the organ of the Colored people of the state. Mr. Hadley is a prominent business man of Lindsay and has a host of friends, who are enlisted in his behalf for this position. Mr. Hadley is a young man, 31 years old; is married and has three children attending the grammar schools in this county. He is progressive in business and if chosen to THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 13 administer the office of county coroner would do so with the promptness and carefulness the position requires. Mr. Hadley has many friends in this city who believe he has the judicial ability that is often required in bringing out a fair verdict in serious cases, and they heartily endorse him to the voters of Tulare county. SOARING THROUGH THE MIGHTY SAN JOAQUIN. VALLEY Annual Visit of the Eagle Editor We arrived at Visalia at 4 p.m. Tuesday, the 1st day of May, and repaired to the home of our good friend M. T. Love. After talking over old times, we proceeded to look over the county seat of Tulare and found here many improvements and that more of the Colored people had come here to live, where there is plenty of work at the best wages. Toney Love, our host, is one of the progressive citizens here, himself and estimable wife are among the highest respected citizens of this city. They own their own home and also an acre of ground right in the heart of the city, and a ranch not far from the city, which place is well stocked with fruit trees, etc., and here Mr. Love labors day by day. We also met Mr. M. T. Draper, formerly of this city, who foreman at present on a beet ranch not far from town. We spent the night with Mr. and Mrs. Love, and on the following day visited many of the prominent public officials, transacted considerable business, and at 3:20 clock boarded the Santa Fe train for Corcortown the Santa Fe train arrived at about 4:30 p.m. Our only mission here was to see Mr. F. M. Parker, a prominent rancher in this section, and to tour two 1:2 miles from town, to place where we slowly but surely wended our way. We found Mr. and Mrs. Parker to be splendid and hospitable people, the kind that Kansas produces, and they made us at home. It was not necessary to wend our way back to the hotel. They cared for us at their home and in the morning in record time placed us in town, in time to catch the 6:55 a.m. train for Allensworth. We certainly enjoyed the night on the farm. We watched Mr. Parker milk and separate the same from 14 cows; we smelled and touched the new mown hay, watched the feeding of the calves. We were reminded of earlier days when we, too, were well acquainted with the farm. We talked about farming, about Kansas and found out that we knew many people from the same town, which was their home, found no trouble in completing our business and felt well paid for our effort. We arrived at Allensworth about 8 am. As we alighted from one train our former Kansas friend, Judge Oscar Overr, was boarding the train for Pasadena, where his brother was seriously ill. We proceeded to the hotel, took our breakfast and then proceeded to look over the colony. We found Mrs. W. M. Dotson, the very efficient librarian, at hat post of duty and caring for the wants of the people. We also found Mrs. M. Gross conducting the drug store and doing nicely. The old war horse along business lifeses, G. W. Singleton, after a long absence in other fields, had returned to Allensworth and again opened up a general store, conducted by himself and wife and seem to be doing well. Singleton is a live one and will make good, aside from business lines he is an accomplished musician. He placed a nice order with us for printing and renewed his allegiance with the Soaring Eagle. We called in on the genial postmaster, D. W. Wells, found him at his post of duty attending to the wants of Uncle Sam's patrons. Z. Hinsman conducts the largest general store on the colony, he told us he did a business of more than $39,000.00 last year and expected to do even more this year. One of our most pleasant, but short calls, was to the Woman's Club of Allensworth which was holding a meeting. Here we greeted among the other ladies, Mrs. Col. Allensworth. We next visited the public school and met the principal and his assistant, Miss Prince of Pasadena. These two educators have held the Allenworth public school to the highest degree of efficiency, and we could hear of nothing but praise throughout the county for the school. We enjoyed immensely the rendition of songs by the combined school. We had pleasure of addressing the body of pupils and they in turn seemed to make it mutual. From here we wended our way to the station and boarded the train for Bakersfield, and in a reminiscent moode we thought that after all these people had made real history, on the Pacific Coast, and like the real pioneers, they became discouraged not but kept on, and who knows but that with the promised relief in the water situation that proud Allensworth at last will not scale the heights and do even more than its most enthusiastic supportss had hoped. (To be continued) What the Churches are Doing --- PAGE TWL FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Corner 8th and Towne Ave. Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor Evangelist Mary G. Evans of Indianapolis, Indiana, thrilled two packed and jammed congregations last Sabbath to the complete honor and glory of God, and the loving edification of the church. This peerless, consecrated and cultured young lady evangelist, who stands without a superior among the licensed women preachers of the great A. M. E. connection, measured up to the high standard of endowed spirituality and Christian refinement that is ever becoming a minister of the Gospel. In the delivery of both sermons of this Holy Communion Day, Sister Evans won the admiration of all Los Angeles and neighboring community. Twelve souls were added to the church, three of whom were converts. Nearly four hundred members, communed. The Revival Chorus sang beautifully. An offering of deserving commendation was freely and punctually given by the appreciative throng of true worshippers. This God-sent young lady evangelist will preach this coming Lord's Day at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. You will have to come early for a good seat. Everybody welcome. The great revival campaign is assuming the most admirable and substantial launching.

The Lord's Supper was observed at night and indeed it was a most solemn time in waiting at the Master's feet. Plans for raising funds for a new house of worship are on foot.

His subject, the occasion being communion, was "The Blood." Dr. Stovall preached an excellent sermon. He sat down in the midst of shouts and Hallelujahs. The choir rendered beautiful music. The doors of the church were opened and three came forward and united with the church. Seventy-nine persons partook of the Holy Communion, the largest number from any quarter.

Subject, "For I ay unto you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God shall come." Luke 22:18. The Lord's Supper was then celebrated.

God has an inheritance in us, we being of the royal family of God and heirs of His kingdom. W should not neglect God's great love, it's wonderful that he is so mindful of his children. God is not a mystery as some think, he is full of love and patience, felling our need of him he sent his Son in our likeness that we may know him. Jesus said, "I am the father and the father in me." He is revealed to us in his word. Very simple and plain obedience is all it takes to understand him and to know him. His word is for our understanding him better.

Don't forget the date and place. The funeral of Mrs. Rachel E. Mills, who died Thursday last, was held at the Friendship Baptist church Monday afternoon at 2 p.m. Mrs. Mills had lived in Pasadena for over 11 years and was one of the most respected citizens of Pasadena. She was a member of the Friendship Baptist Church and a member of the Deaconess Board. She always had a smile and kind word for all who met her and therefore endearedly herself to us all. She is survived by a husband, Mr. Geo W. Mills, and two sons, Rev Mills of Philadelphia and Clarence Mills of Pasadena. Friends of Prof. and Mrs. J. C. Moore were shocked Sunday evening to receive the news of the death of their second son, Titus, who was accidentally killed by falling from a window at Knoxville College where he has been a pupil for the last two years. Prof. Moore had just a few days ago arrived in Pasadena for a visit. FIRST A M E Sunday services were very impressive and well appreciated by the audiences that attended. Although the pastor was off attending to some urgent business for the Bishop, the morning services were remarkably manager. Rev Prince preached his ablest sermon and soon had the people feasting on the mountain that never shall run dry. The spirit was there in every sense of the word. The choir presented a message in song under the direction of Miss Maynoid. At the evening session the same flowing spirit prevailed when Rev Taylor occupied the pulpit. If there is any organization in the church that needs to be more encouraged than the Christian Endeavor, we should like to hear from it. At present the Endeavor is doing a great work in trying to make its last payment in the Sacrifice Rally and it is under a strain. The appeal is to the young folk to come out, enjoy and contribute their services and their money for a great cause. The Pastor, Trustees and every officer of the church wishes to brake known that Sunday, May 12, 1918, is the last payment in the Sacrifice Rally. We are certain that every individual in Pasadena would like to see the church free from a debt that has been hovering around for many years, and we invite each individual in Pasadena to visit our Church, Sunday, anytime during the day, bringing with them, if possible, a little contribution to help in removing the great "white elephant."

Riddles of Woodland presided at a mass meeting in that city of 150 negroes, who adopted a resolution condemning H. Siebe's candy store for refusing to serve ice cream to several negro women who entered the place. The resolution state that Mrs. Cora Diggs of Woodland, accompanied by her sister and her niece, entered the place and were told by the proprietor, H. Siebe, that they could not be served because his white patrons objected to being served with dishuse used by glorified persons. The meeting branded Siebe's actions as unjust, an-American and undemocratic in the resolutions, which state Prussianism is the refusal of rights and a square deal to the weaker, smaller races. His actions were also called pro-German. Attention was also called by the meeting to the fact that 10,000 negroes are now serving in the United States army in an attempt to crush just such race prejudice. The women insulted were urged in the resolutions to bring suit against Siebe, and the meeting pledged itself to support the suit financially. The resolutions were signed by J. C. Corbett, George Howaard, W. J. Keitht, Rev. J. M. Riddle and E. Craitier.

Itvis a twelve million dollar investment, and has only recently thrown open its doors, and through these portals passes the produce largcly of Cali- fornia, Ti you will take a walk around this immense structure, you will note hundreds of firms who make up the tradesmen of the same. You will see many. many Japanese tradesmen, some Chinese, Greeks, and in fact, all nations exgept the colored citizens of this country. Now the query will rise. why? The answer is, they are not producers and thércfore cannot qualify in the market of producers, the Japanese, Chinese, ‘Greeks, etc, are real producers. For everyone you see con- ducting a place of business in this market he has great numbers of his people producing from the soil, which makes it possible for him to have a place side by side with the Anglo Saxon who also can hoast of a strong backing in the line of producers. Those of you who want proof of this assertion and who can visit Los Angeles can sce the prattical demonstration of this by walking around this great market and read- ing the names on the various places of business. Now then if our peo- ple shall ever gain their place in this march of proyress they must en- list in the army of producers from the soil, no matter where that soil is located. get to it, and get there quick. The man who leads us to this goal is the Moses whom we have sought for lo these many years. ‘Turn a deaf ear 16 the men or, women who have their hammers aloft for any movement which means progress, and do your: utmost to qualify in the march of progress. When we do this thing all other things will be added unto us. oe THOMASH.

AND A LIAR The term, liar, is one of the most disrespectful epithet which may be applied to a person, and it's use has been the cause of much mischief. This expression is very frequently not only much misunderstood, but badly misused, and we must remember that words are representatives of ideas, and if we use the wrong words to express our thoughts we are liable to be misapprehended, and thus do ourselves and others injury. A truly honorable man is very sensitive in all matters which appear to cast discredit upon his integrity or veracity, and for this reason the dishonorable man affects a sensitiveness he really does not feel. The dishonest man may lie, and cheat, and steal, and his distress arises, not from doing these dishonorable acts, but in being discovered and told of it. A story is told of a man who had a quarrel with another man and after considerable abuse, concluded by calling him a liar. Preserving his temper, the latter calmly replied, "You have called me a liar, which is a very grave charge against one who claims to be a gentleman and Christian. Now if you can prove it, it must be true, and I shall be ashamed of myself; but if you cannot prove it, it is you who should be ashamed, because you state what is not true for the purpose of mischief. It is you, then, who are the liar." As a lie is any intentional violation of the truth, it is plain that to make a lie it is not necessary to use spoken language; it may be uttered in words, insigns, or gestures of the head, or motions of the body. A pupil may cough a lie in school to deceive his teacher—in short, any means taken to create a false impression is a lie, and telling a lie is like letting a wild beast out of a cage. You can never tell how many people that animal will wound or kill before he is caught again. Telling a lie is like dropping sparks in powder. It is sure to make an explosion, and no one can tell before and how much harm that it will do. Lying, common though it be, is denounced by the fair himself. He protests that he is speaking the truth, for he knows that truth is universally respected, while lying is universally condemned. "Dare to be true," "nothing can ever need a lie." Mrs. Laphus and her five little children are in San Diego from Imperial Valley. Mrs. E. E. Shepherd is confined in her home with whooping cough. Mr. and Mrs. A. Green entertained the Harmony Whist Club last Monday evening Mr. Joe Robinson, Mrs. Edwards, Miss Carrie Robinson and Mrs. Bertha Fairiax and Mrs. Nichols, in Mr. Robinson's machine, motored to Tory Pines on last Sunday Miss Ellen Summerville, on hearing of the recent death of her sister in Texas, was taken every seriously ill and temporarily lost her mind.

The Texas Club held its second meeting Monday evening at the residence of Mrs. C. Akers on Valley street. A large number of Texans were present and an interesting meeting was had, after which a delicious repast of cake and chocolate was served. Mrs. Akers being the oldest member of the club, was voted to be an honorary member and exempt from dues. The next meeting will be held on the third Monday night of this month, at the residence of Mrs. Rosa Dedrick, in East San Diego. Mr. Walter Maney of the aviation corps at Balboa Park, spent the day at La Jolla with Miss Carrie Robinson. Sunday. There has been quite a number on the sick list at La Jolla, among whom are Mrs. Lawrence, Miss Mamie McNabb, from Greenwood, Miss., and Mr. John Arusty The Silver Gate Club, an auxiliary to the Paint Club, gave an entertainment last Thursday evening at the Mt. Zion parsonage which proved to be an overwhelming success. The most exciting feature of the evening was a beautiful water pitcher and six glasses. The most popular lady, that is, the one receiving the most votes, was to receive the set. There were four who started out in the race, but two were left so far behind that they gave up the race, leaving Mrs. Isabella Brashears and little Miss Guetna King, running at breakneck speed, for the winning, first one in the lead, then the other, until the president, Mr. Ed Davis, announced the time up, when little Miss Guetna King, 7 years of age, carried the bacon home. Her friends, at a critical moment, proved to be friends in need. She received 800 votes, $8, and Mrs. Isabella Brashears, close behind, received 700 votes, $7. The amount raised was near $20. The Silver Gate Club says that the church "must be painted," and the N. B. B. O. O. Club says "it will be painted"; so, by these two clubs working so faithfully towards one end, we hope to see Mt. Zion wearing a new coat of paint in the near future. On the fourth Sunday in June the two clubs will have a grand rally, at which time we hope to run past the $150 mark. On this special occasion all are cordially invited to come out and enjoy the afternoon, both spiritually and giving financially to the cause. Prof. C. A. Heath has returned to the city to take charge of the music for the Arline Union Revival meeting, beginning on the 12th inst. His Jubilee Singers are to play an important part in the meeting.

Terry, and in the evening sang at the community service the appropriate song, "If I Were all Voice." Too much praise cannot be sung of the hospitable people of La Jolla, the most beautiful of San Diego's suburbs. Evidently the professor has made himself one of the most popular singers of San Diego among both races. The Carnation Club held its art meeting last week at the residence of Mrs. Geo. Denny. A very pleasant evening was spent in knitting and other fancy work. All enjoyed the evening. The mysterious package was received by Mrs. V. L. Goodwin, which was a beautiful dining room table cover.
