"Make a Flower Grow, if Your Heart Aches and the Bloom Will Cure the Pain." Being a city girl and a farmer's wife, it is of the crucial moment in my life wherein the two become reconciled, that I write. My husband felt the call to the land five years ago, but at that time I thought, like so many have thought, that it was a millionaire's undertaking; but as time passed on we talked a little of the feasibility of turning eighty acres of our two hundred-acre desert claim into a homestead, until at last we came to a definite conclusion that we would change it in the next year and go out and live as God must have intended man to live. So it is to any who might perchance be standing at the crossroads where a like decision awaits them, that I tell my little story. We have now been on our place eighteen months, but into those months has been crowded a whole gamut of experience that seems incredible when I think them over. One thing, my husband and I know each other better in these last eighteen months than in all of the eigh-previous years of our married life. I feel that we personally owe tribute to all who have ventured and toiled and endured, and, in doing so, have made the homestead-way plainer to all who have followed them. It seems true that the original settlers rarely become permanent; in our own township only ten sections are now occupied by the original claimants, yet those first settlers were the road breakers. I smile as I think of the different greetings that I receive when I visit Los Angeles, such as, "My! How remarkably well you look," and "you haven't fallen off a bit." For well do I know that most of the city folk think that desert and country folk mean living from day to day, never in actual want, probably, but bordering so nearly upon it as to render supper thru the eyes of the breakfast table as a far-off and obscure proposition. But just as surely as "His truth goes marching on", those same folk will some day learn to know better than this. To be sure, we received countless discouragements and, judging by the sharpness of the world's bites, when we first made mention that we were going to live on the desert, I thought it was teething. We tried to interest other young people in the country idea, but of no avail, with the excuse that it would take "a lot of money." Well, we are out here and started with practically nothing but a horse and wagon. I have my first dollar to earn towards helping my husband out, yet some of those whom we spoke to, their husbands were making almost twice as much as mine, and besides, some of their wives were helping out. Yet, they couldn't see their way clear. It is just knowing how to manage; we started to plan for the country home a year before we moved, and for months I chased "bargain sales." Days were spent in dreaming of how I was going to fix this thing and that; where I was going to plant this tree and that rosebush; but then, all or any of these things furnish material for that intangible substance of happiness, the stuff that dreams are made of. We live long years before we know how much dearer is the dreamm than the substance, but we must have both or life is a failure for us. Not long ago a city friend said to me, "My, but I would be out of my element if I lived in the country, for I am too much of an artistic temperment." Bosh! There are quite a number of affected, posing women who are pretending to be interested in music, or art or literature; they think that they must not like a country life nor housework; they are afraid of seeming common. Neither one of these things will hinder you from being personally fine. If you are really interested in these arts, it is easy to take them to the kitchen. I read The California Eagle all of the authors, many books on artists and essays on literature and music while the kettle was boiling and the bread baking. Right now I am in the kitchen writing, waiting for my pie to brown. The best thing about household work is that you like it better year by year, and as age comes on, many tasks that in years back we thought were hardships, are real delights which we take joy in doing. In my case, to make a cake I would have to think about it for two days; now I make one every week and think nothing of it. Our place is one hundred and sixteen miles from Los Angeles and twelve miles out from Victorville. We call it "L'Allegro," meaning the cheerful. The name is well applied, for here in Apple Valley, where "L'Allegro" lay nestled, it draws health and cheer, contentment and tranquility from the influences of Nature, unspoilt by contact with the busier and wearier world. The farmer ought to know, if he does not, that he is the groundwork of our civilization. The industries may tumble into the sea and we shall still live, if the soil produces bread and meat. Doesn't he know if the really great man and woman should stop at his gates, their simple human interest in the cattle, the hogs, the poultry and the dairy work would be as genuine as his own, since they are the real things: for no man or woman can be great and not be "real." Our nearest neighbors are from one to three miles apart; they walk or drive over, bringing their books and magazines in exchange for ours. We women crochet, darn, knit or patch, while the men settle the affairs of the nation. Our whole community is a friendly, social one, though none of us are specially well-to-do, but when did good-feeling, friendship and happiness ever depend on money? Although many people associate happiness with riches, it is a thing so elusive that it is like a butterfly finding sweets in some poor little weed blossom beside the most barren roadway. It is like a hummingbird in the lovingly tended flower bed of a poor woman. Life on a farm is so interesting, so varied and includes so many different enterprises that we farm women do not miss the neighbor's back-fence gossip and the cheap entertainments that our town sister pites us for having to do without. We have our trips into Victorville, which includes a set or two of tennis in the city park or at the High School, and may be an hour at the time movie, if there is a film worth seeing. We have our weinie bakes on the banks of the Mojave river which flows thru Victorville, and our fishing trips. We can get into our little Ford machine and go to Ore Grande, Big Bear, San Bernardino, Riverside, Redlands, Deep Creek or Quail Springs in a short while; we can make the trip to Los Angeles in four and one-half hours. In the long evenings at home we study together—for both my husband and myself are taking a correspondence course in pharmacy. We play the ukulele and piano, sing and recite, pop corn in the fire-place which was made from the rock and sand off our place, and, most of all, we indulge ourselves in family talk, talk which includes what we did when we were mere boy and girl, back in the sleep old town of Savannah; talk which includes plans for the ranch, plans for ourselves, plans for a motor trip from coast to coast, plans for everything under the sun, it seems sometimes. We killed a small hog this winter and made forty pounds of lard, besides we cured and smoked with sage brush two hams, two shoulders, sparcribs, and pickled the rest, which lasted us up to a month ago; while m the city I didn't, or couldn't do it. After the light, gas, telephone and water bills were paid and my social obligations kept up, there was scarcely enough left to buy one ham, much less a hog. Out here our wood, water, desert tea, rabbits, birds, turtles and fish are all free. My husband is his own boss; if he wishes San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, JULY 20, 1918 to get up at 5 a. m. or 10 a. m., he can do either; if he becomes tired or sleepy during the day he can stop work and take a nap, for there is no one to rush him; he looks younger now at thirty-two years than he did at twenty-seven. So I see no need for such sayings as, "Eoor child, away from all our friends, sacrificing on the desert." The desire for friendship is an instinct and a beautiful one, too, but along with it goes so much that is also instinctive and far enough from the ideal of friendship. Envy, jealousy, selfishness; all these things constantly mar our best and closest friendships, and so taking my friends for what they are worth. I miss them in a way, but I am happier here at "L'Allegro" watching the sun as it goes to rest behind Mt. Baldy. I am happier far when I scramble over the rough trails of these mountains with Muggins and Twee-Twee (our dogs), than ever Los Angeles could make me. Several have said, "Why, girl, you are missing all of the fun and good times." Do you imagine it is more fun to go to teas, luncheons and dances, to take a bunch of wild flowers, set a hen or take a gallop on a horse? It is a question which is the most pleasurable distraction; on a certain scale I have tried all; I believe I may safely say that society is the poorest, though I like society and sympathize with women's longings for it. The first requisite toward having a good time worth counting as gain when you look back upon life, is to have a really happy home. A place where it is a joy to stay and where there are always things to interest you. Lacking this, your good times are only anodynes applied to heal the incurable disease of homesickness. We try to make "L'Allegro" mean home in every sense of the word, a, place for confidences, and untrammeled individuality, a place where we each may return sure of sympathy and repose, there to find healing for the frictional abrasions of daily effort; a place where we can sit down in peace unafraid to rest our souls from the strenuous battle with the outside world's conflicting thoughts. One fact we must all keep in mind, and that is the fact that we make our own world. This sounds a rather frite saying since it has been repeated so often, but sometimes these old sayings suddenly come to us with new illumination. The day of spontaneous palm wavings and popular demonstrations are over. If we want a brass band to meet us at the station, we must wire ahead and stand responsible for their pay. Having made up our minds to remain on the desert, unthought of means of providing became apparent. Out here a tropical looking plant grows in abundance, a greater cluster of long needle-pointed leaves springing from the root and sending up in May a beautiful tall spire of creamy, bell-shaped flowers. Some one experimenting with the tough fibre of this plant found that it could be used for matting, ropes and brooms, thus yucca became a commercial product. A good profit is made in the winter from the hides of coyote, fox, skunk and wild cat which are found back in the mountains. One young man cleared twelve hundred dollars last winter trapping. The past year has been kind to us in many ways. We have increased the number of our chickens, hogs, and pigeons. We have a horse and wagon, a 50-foot lot in Victorville which runs back to the river; a Ford machine and a cow. We have a plot of ground fenced in and have planted a garden, some trees, milo maize, barley and kaffir corn. These things, small, as they seem to some folk, mean to us rooting down greater comfort and economy. We never could have done this had we remained in the city. My sister, Mrs. Roscoe Conklin Brown, and her husband take as much pride in keeping up our home in Los Angeles as we would, so there is no worry on that end. I wouldn't make the picture more ideal than truthful. There has been plenty of hard work; (Continued on page 3.) (Continued on page 3) M. Graduate of Los Angeles High School Class 1918. Mr. John Mitchell, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. K. Hines, proprietors of the Hines Hotel is a young man of whom Los Angeles may well be proud of. Besides completing the regular High School course, young Mr. Mitchell completed with high honors the regu- JOHN MITCHELL lar music course, including orchestra, sight singing, mixed chorus work with Choral Club, music history, music appreciation. His orchestra course prepared him for director of orchestra in ensemble. Of a graduating class numbering over two hundred, Mr. Mitchell was the only colored young man; he, together with two colored young women, exemplified the fact that in this case, as in all others where honors are given for merit, our Negro is there to get his share. Speaking of Mr. Mitchell's musical attainments, while his accom- The Managing Editor of the California Eagle on Tuesday, our opening day, will give away a brand new, latest model, New Home Sewing Machine to any Misonary Society presenting us with 30 new Subscribers at $2.00 per year. plishments in this vocation merits for him a high appreciative place in the professional world, he has not stopped at this point, but is continuing his study of music under a reputable and very able instructor, and intends, in later years, to master adorable art by finishing in one of the country's best Conservatories. Mr. Mitchell already has a large class in violin instructions. Those who heard this accomplished young man play at the Alumni program declare him to be a soloist of A No. 1 rank. Parents having children whom they desire special training in violin music, would do credit to them by placing them for training under this very efficient young man. WASN'T THAT SWEET?" "I should say it was!" the girls exclaimed all in one voice, and although they were saved sweets, yet they were not talking about them. They were talking, however, about one another. Real human beings can be sweet, as the girls of the New Hope Baptist Church proved to the utter satisfaction of all the Y. W. C. A. girls Monday evening. The Young Women's Missionary Society of New Hope are true specimens of all they represent. MISS JENNIE D. CATLEY. In our last issue there was a mistake in the write-up concerning one of our graduates. Miss Janie D. Catley, a 1918 graduate of the Compton Union High School. She is some of our most promising young women. Not only is Miss Catley a student of the higher arts, but also a religious worker in her home Church, being president of the Young People's Society, which has a membership of some two hundred, over which she presides with Christian dignity. The Saint's Home Church, of which Miss Catley is a member, is duly proud of this young woman.

MURDERED OVER A DRESS PATTERN. According to Mrs. F. K. Hines, who is the proprietor of the Hines Hotel, 577 Central Avenue, as we go to press Mrs. Olive Martin killed Mrs. S. Smith by stabbing her to death with a nut pick. The nut pick reached the heart and the Smith woman died almost instantly. A dispute arose over a dres spattern which the Smith woman had borrowed from Mrs. Martin. Mrs. Hines held the Martin woman at the point of a gun until the police arrived. The body was taken to the morgue, where the Coroner will hold his inquest. Particulars in next issue of the Eagle. ```markdown ``` What the Churches are Doing Good and worship with us.

The committees in charge carried out their respective duties in the most commendable manner and to the entire satisfaction of our honored guest and appreciative congregations. The pastor delivered both sermons. There were two accessions to membership at the morning service and two Thursday night at the class meeting, making four for the week. The choir sang beautifully.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH Services were good all day. Those who were present received a blessing indeed, the subject being "What Think ye of Christ?" The evidence produced would cause the world to say, "surely he is the Son of God." Upon this great question depends our eternal salvation and happiness. It is the center of our hope today. The prophet died without seeing this day, yet many prophecied of its coming. John tells us that he is the Son of God. He exclaimed, "Behold, the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world." Evening services were also good. Our hearts were made glad by one brave soul coming forward for membership and service.

At the close of the evening services, with the aid of $120.77 contributed by the First M. E. Church, the effort reached the splendid sum of $3160.45, to which is added the $1000 by the city Missionary Society, making a total of $4160.40.

The children's exercises in the afternoon were very successful, as well as interesting. The Sunday School seems to have taken on new life; it is very encouraging to see the interest manifested. The affair under the auspices of the men's Progressive Movement Club Monday night was in every way a success; an excellent program was rendered with a display of some of the best talent; and much credit is due the program committee for their good work. On Sunday, July 25th, will be our last grand rally, at which time we hope to raise sufficient funds to satisfy our claims for the year. Dr. J. L.

Prince U Kabba Rega preached at the morning service and delighted the congregation with his gospel message. The pastor preached at night to a large and appreciative audience. The revival meetings which began with the Sunday morning service are being attended largely and souls are being convoluted to Christ. The powerful messages of Rev. Kabba Rega are being blessed with wonderful results. Come carly and secure a good seat and enjoy this gospel feast. Services the coming Sunday as usual. Rev. Rega will continue to thrill the congregations with his messages at both services. Strangers and visitors are always welcome to any or all of the services of this Church. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Corner 18th and Paloma Sts. Rev. N. P. Greggs, D.D., PaSTor Last Sunday was indeed a magnificent day at People's Independent Church. At the morning hour Pastor Greggs occupied his pulpit and delivered a very edifying sermon on the subject, "The Pale Horse." The pastor will continue his series of sermons on John's visions next Sunday, using for his subject, "The Opening of the Fifth Seal." Prof. Wm.

This money goes for the furtherance of her education. The total collection taken at this Church during the day amounted to $220.74. The music was especially good. The choir is being wonderfully blessed with assistance from outside talent. On last Sunday morning a most beautiful solo was rendered by Mrs Earnstine Beavers. In the evening the great audience was electrified by a most brilliant soprano solo rendered by Mrs. M. R. Jackson of Seattle, Wash. On last Monday evening, a grand reception was tendered the choir by Mesdames Shackleford, Moore, Grant Smith, Weir and Evans, at the residence of Mrs. Shackleford, 115N E. 34th St. Many pleasant games were participated in and covers were laid for forty. An enjoyable evening was spent in wholesome fun and entertainment. It was indeed a grand treat for the choir. On next Tuesday, July 24, the Sunday School picnic will be held at Lincoln Park. All members and friends are invited to come and enjoy a very pleasant outing. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH—MAPLE AVENUE. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Our Sunday School was well attended. The lesson was that of the conversion of the first Gentile to the Christian religion. Philip was not disobedient unto the heavenly command to leave a field of civilization for one of desolation and loneliness, and God blessed his service in the conversion of a great plan. The subject attuned quite a grip on the attention of all, and was followed with evident blessing. At the 11 o'clock service a large audience greeted our Bro. Shipley who delivered the message of God to us. His text at once took hold of us all. "I will not let These go except Thou bless me." From the beginning to the close, our brother had the sympathy of all the people. All who heard him expressed delight and satisfaction. Additional captains of clubs for raising money for the new Church were appointed, and a stirring appeal made by the pastor brought response from the entire audience. The members are alive to the situation, and much is expected of their laudable effort. A big meeting was held on Wednesday night, when the pastor's plans were outlined and accepted, and on Sunday morning every captain will be handed printed material for giving and collecting subscriptions for the work. Our Young People had their usual meeting, which was helpfully carried out. From now on they will meet in the main auditorium instead of downstairs. Our old friend, the Rev. Mr. Byers of San Jose, preached for us in the evening, and took for his text, "Look unto me and be saved all ye ends of the earth." Truly, the Lord spoke to us in the word that came to us, and all greeted the brother and wished him God speed. We request all to be out on Sunday, and come prepared for a blessing, and to take part in the work of the Lord.

At the evening service we were pleased to have the annual sermon of the Christian Aid Society of the Tabernacle Baptist Church, preached by our Pastor, J. D. Gordon, who took for his subject, "Unity." His discourse was so remarkable that each heart was lifted up to a higher standard. We also listened very attentively to the timely remarks by Bro. T. A. Harris, giving a brief history of the organization, its aims and purposes. Next Sunday Dr. J. D. Gordon will occupy the pulpit at both morning and evening services. All members and friends welcome.

BLYTHE NEWS: Although the thermometer registered a temperature of 120 Tuesday, the 10th, a large number filled the A. M. E. Zion Chapel to witness the fourth and last quarterly conference of the Church, held by Presiding Elder Stovall. The proficient pulpit orator selected his subject from the 12th verse of the 6th chapter of 2d Timothy, from which he delivered a most instructive sermon. The cleverness in which he augured his subject left a long and lasting impression upon his hearers. The conference was deferred until after the sermon; every person held his pew and waited with eagerness to hear the report of the faithful pastor, A. R. Simpson, and his work and its loyal followers. The presiding elder commented highly upon the progress made. "I have heard your most excellent report," continued the pre- siding elder, "but above all things, let me not make my report to the annual conference without including the name of your new Church in it." "Stimpson," ejaculated some one, "Stimpson's Chapel." After several names had been introduced, a prevailing motion thrusted the great honor upon the pastor. The pastor thanked the people for the honor paid him, saying that he was very much surprised at the movement of the meeting. A few remarks from the presiding elder followed by the benediction.

Adopted by Board of Supervisors. Whereas, The Nurses' Training School connected with the County Hospital of Los Angeles County, is a public institution maintained by public funds; and Whereas, Members of the Negro race have heretofore been denied admission to and training in said Nurses' Training School, but are entitled thereto; therefore, be it Resolved. That members of the Negro race be admitted to the Training School for Nurses at the County Hospital in the County of Los Angeles, State of California. And it is also Resolved. That no discrimination be made or permitted on the ground of race or color at said Hospital or the connected Training School for Nurses, in respect to the admission to or training in said Training School. And be it further Resolved. That all former orders heretofore made by the Board of Supervisors, or any member thereof, or any officer of said Hospital or said Training School, not consistent with these Resolutions, be revoked, repealed and declared to be void. THE SO. CALIFORNIA ALUMNI Association held its annual picnic on Friday evening, July 12th, on the luxurious roof garden of the palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Reeves. The garden was a veritable bower of spring-time verdure and tropical splendor. A mysterious crescent moon and myriad twinkling stars cast their mellow light upon a "fountain of youth" whose sparkling, rippling, dancing waters revealed a rainbow of riotous colors, and cast upon the faces of the guests a veiled light of etheral beauty, transforming the scene into enchanted land. From either entrance to the garden an inviting "Lover's Lane" filled with mysterious whispering of the night, enticed the wandering feet of those to whom solitude is bliss. The different brilliant rooms of the house afforded a playground and a stage for those who indulged in games and music befitting the occasion. Amid the perfume of the flowers and muscle of the fountain, great salvers of delicious food and luscious fruits and ices were served the guests, after which they bade a lingering farewell to the "enchanted garden," vowing that its charm had so bewitched them that the hours had sped by with lightning swiftness, and that the charm and beauty of the lovely scene live forever in the courts of memory. N. A. A. C. P. and Associated Committee Gain Great Victory in Nurses' Training School Fight. On Wednesday morning the room of the County SSupervisors was crowded with representatives from the various organizations forming the associated committees to present the matter of admitting colored girls to the Nurses' Training School of the County Hospital. Attorney Burton Ceruti, chairman of the legal redress committee of the N. A. A. C. P. also chairman of the associated committee conducting the hearing, presented a petition to the Supervisors, which was read, asking that colored girls be admitted to the school and that no discrimination be made on account of race or color. Judge Forbes made an eloquent and sincere address in behalf of the petitioners. Judging from his remarks, the speaker was thoroughly familiar with the race question. He spoke of the constitutional, legal and moral rights of colored people, and the injustice of denying them any of the privileges accorded to any citizen of America. Mrs. Richardson, chairman of the Central Republican committee, also made an appeal. Much of the credit ofr r this victory is due to the efforts of Attorney E. B. Ceruti, chairman of the Legal Redress Committee of the N. A. A. C. P. In his winding up address, Mr. Ceruti gave a plausable answer to all objections which could be made to the petition. By a unanimous vote the petition was affirmed by the Board of Supervisors, and now the door of opportunity is open to all colored girls who are qualified and are desirous of entering the institution. CUPID: YOU OLD MISCHIEF: Special to the California Eagle. Now you have done it. With your little cute wiles you have another in your power. At the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Boston, Mass, the Choral Club of the N. E. Conservatory of Music and a host of friends, gathered on the night of July 4th, the day of Independence, flags and flowers. The table was resplendent in these decorations. From the chandelier red, white and blue ribbons streamed, and at the end of each a little Kewpie bashfully smiled. All looked expectantly as a young lady, accompanied by her sister, and a young gentleman smiled into his place at the table among his friends. Miss Minnie Albritton announced the engagement of her sister, Carrie E. Albritton of Los Angeles to Mr. Frederick Douglas Daniels, a prominent young man of Boston. Mr. Daniels is a violin student of the Conservatory, and the Misses Albritton are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. M. Albritton of this city. Mrs. L. S.

Last Monday evening a crowded house greeted Dean Pickens, the head of Morgan College at Bathmore, and he came up to all expectations by delivering one of the most inspiring addresses heard here in many moons. His subject, "The Lowest Struggles For Democracy," was handled in a masterly manner and evoked the greatest enthusiasm. The Dean was introduced by Rev. E. E. Lightener, who was an old school mate of the Dean's. Attorney H. E. Macbeth acted as master of ceremonies. Quite a pretentious program was rendered preceding the address. Dr. Shaw and members of Wesley Chapel are to be congratulated upon the success of this great meeting. 1. W. C. A. CLUB NOTES. Had a real surprise Monday night at the New Hope Baptist Church, "Eats!"

SAN JOAQUIN FARMERS INSPECT LOWER CALIFORNIA LOWER CALIFORNIA LANDS—FAVORABLE REPORT Without doubt the most notable event in history in the life of the colored people of America, during the past week, was the trip of inspection into Lower California made by the committee of San Joaquin Valley, as announced in last week's issue of the Eagle. The committee was headed by Mr. L. M. Young, who founded the colony of colored farmers in the San Joaquin Valley at Fowler, California, 28 years ago. Mr. Young had with him such stalwart and successful farmers as W. W. Eason, J. Patrick, E. S. Ellard, W. Green, Mr. McLendon, and others. These men represented the great back-bone of Fowler, Bowles and Mamouth, in whom has developed during the past 28 years the most successful single group of Negro farmers to be found in America. The committee, which comprised eight from San Joaquin Valley and one from Los Angeles. Mr. George Harvey, Los Angeles' leading hauling contractor, motored all the way from San Joaquin Valley to Vallecitos and Santa Clara ranches. Lower California. The party arrived in Los Angeles Saturday, July 6th, at 6 p.m. and left Los Angeles for Lower California Monday noon. They arrived in San Diego Monday afternoon, and spent the night at San Diego, leaving for Vallecitos and Santa Clara ranches about 1 o'clock the following day. Arriving at Vallecitos ranch that evening, the party camped for the night under the spacious roof of the cotton ranch at Vallecitos. With the sunrise the following morning, the party awoke on Vallecitos to behold one of the most beautiful stretches of scenery and fertile valley to be witnessed anywhere in the western country. After enjoying the appetizing breakfast prepared over the camp-fire, the party motored from the main Vallecitos Valley two miles over to the Rincon Valley, where they began afoot an inspection of this wonderful valley. After more than three hours of continuous and vigorous working, this committee of seasoned farmers and soil experts, by overwhelming opinion, pronounced the Vallecitos ranch one of the finest pieces of farming property that had ever been their pleasure to witness. After the inspection of the Rincon Valley alone, the great majority of the committee were willing to go back with a most favorable report. But upon the insistence of President Theo. W. Troy and Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth, who accompanied the party to Lower California, the committee was taken to other parts of the Vallecitos ranch and then over to the famous Santa Clara ranch, where they were shown so much that their eyes and legs became almost paralyzed in their effort to see and cover the various sections and small valleys contained in these two wonderful properties. Thursday evening the party started out for home, camping along the way and arriving in Los Angeles Friday afternoon, where, gathered in the Y. M. C. A., 9th and Hemlock, the committee by overwhelming opinion pronounced Vallecitos and Santa Clara ranches as the greatest opportunity for acquiring producing lands that has ever been brought to the colored people of the State of California. Wednesday morning the committee continued its homeward journey to San Joaquin Valley. Negotiations and deliberations are now on the way, the result of which promises to have more effect upon the practical future of the colored citizens of America than any big convention or talkfest ever held by the colored citizens of America. The Negroes of California must become producers. UUnder the leadership of the greatest and most successful Negro producers in the country—the colored farmers of San Joaquin Valley—the final arrangements are now being developed, which will not only enable the Negroes of the State of California to become producers under the expert leadership of successful farmers of our own race, but through the practical guidance and leadership of these colored giants of the soil who have built so well in the San Joaquin Valley. The Negroes of America are about to be led on to a brighter future in Lower California than they have ever enjoyed since they were brought to this country as slaves in 1620. The eyes of the Negroes of California are now centered on the colored farmers of San Joaquin Valley, and from this source is coming the strong leadership of the immediate future. Last Monday evening at the home of Mrs. A. Alexander, 706 E. 18th St., the young people's Missionary Society gave a farewell party for Mr. Claude Shipp, and Mr. Frederick Thompson, both having enlisted in the Navy, and Mr. Harris, who is on his way to see his mother before going to the army gamps. There were about thirty young people present, and each enjoyed the piano solo rendered by Mr. Charlie White; the reading by Miss Grant; the Saxaphone solo by Mr. Wm. Dixon, and especially the reading by Mrs. Smith. At the end of this part of the program, Mr. Eugene Fisher made some very appropriate remarks before presenting Mr. Thompson and Mr. Harris with the Bibles which were a token of love and remembrance from the organization to the boys. After responses by the boys, refreshments were served. The boys left Tuesday morning from the S. P. Depot. We wish these young men Godspeed, and would say to them and to all others who may have to be in active service before the war ends, that man has to die but once, and at any time in life when a man sees and feels that he is in theright, he should rather die defending his principles than live by acceding ground to the wrong.

Jones, pastor of Christ's Church, 2021 Central Ave. Rev. Jones is one of the greatest preachers of this country and has performed a great work of saving souls throughout this country. This sermon was in the way of prophesy, based on the Bible, and at this time it is interesting, indeed, as the great world's war proceeds. "And another horse came forth; a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword." Rev. 6-4. I have preached this text four times in my home town in Mississippi, each time, except the first, by special and urgent request. I have preached it four times in this city, and by request each time; this is the fifth time. There is a reason. It is one of the sermons of the hour. How inscrutable are the ways of Providence! His thoughts are above the thoughts of man as high as the heavens are above the earth; so are His ways above ours. For the last twenty years, more or less, men have predicted in their magazines and papers that the world would never see another great war; that men have invented such destructive implements of battle, such terrible engines of warfare that a great war could not be sustained between civilized nations. A Peace Congress has been organized at The Hague by the Czar of Russia, Nicholas II, to consider the best methods of maintaining the peace of the world, and of ameliorating the conditions of warfare. Men began to declare that all civilized nations would settle their disputes by arbitration. A Court of Arbitration was established at The Hague. A peace palace was built there. Mr. Carnegie, who despises Jesus Christ, whose divine love, death, resurrection and intercession made possible for him to make his millions, and who uses those millions to exhalt his own name instead of the Savior's, endowed the world peace movement with $10,000,000. The noble prize was arranged for the man of influence who through the year should do the most to promote world peace. And this is how man thought to perpetuate peace and bring the millennium. But this was man's way of peace; not God's. God had said to Isaiah "The wicked are like the troubled sea when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace saith my God, to the wicked." Isaiah 57. 20-21. And how fity verified is the Scripture, when they shall say, "Peace and Safety," then suddenly destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with a child. When God proclaims peace there is peace, and not before. When He takes His peace from the earth there can be no peace. Every man's hand is against his brother. Men cry, "Peace, peace, when there is no peace." Jer. 6, 14. The Scriptures gives us light on the things. What was written aforetime was written for our learning. Rom. 15, 4. But how slow we are to learn. How prone are we to lean to our understanding. Indeed; I should not be surprised if this sermon should be misunderstood, as to give me trouble; for when men are ripe for judgment they hate all but their time-serving, psychophantic prophey. The true messenger of God is regarded as a nuisance or a menace; as a troublesome parasite; as a fanatic worth only the bread and water of affliction, or death, according as his message may seem to them ill. Nevertheless, there is light in the darkness, and the true prophet is a light bearer, though he may say uncompetitive and unpleasant things to all.

What is life or popularity to the soldier while men are dying to do the will of their commander? If God has spoken who can but prophesy? Amos, 3:7-88. In this sermon I hope, by the grace of God, to give some light to the soul who feels the need of the same to guide him through the dark valley of the shadow of death. In spite of all men's prophecies and their efforts for the same, in 1914 there broke out the greatest war the world ever knew. Servia and Austria fiew at each other's throats. Then came Russia to the aid of Servia; Germany to the aid of Austria, and France to the aid of Russia. Germany, taking advantage of an opportunity for which she had been forty odd years preparing, mobilized her army in twenty hours and flew at the throat of France, trampling little Belgium under foot, driving her king into a small corner of his already small dominion. England came to the aid of heroic little Belgium, and the world shook with the thunder of such cannon as had never before belched fire and death; the air was filled with flame, and hell let loose upon the earth its armies "like locusts" and belched forth its "deadly stone." John's visions was realized at last. Two million men were soon prisoners of war, suffering horrors worse than death, while death fled from them. Hundreds and hundreds of square miles became desert; nations began to know want of food. Cities were ruined, women ravished, and the elders of the cities slain, as Issalah had said would be so. Men asked me when I went down town in my city: "Dr. what do you think of the war? How long do you think it will last? How do you think it will end?" My reply was, in spite of the prediction that six months would end it: "It will last at least five years. But as to how the war will end, there is no telling. Germany cannot win, because the world is against her, and she has Turkey fighting with her. God has decreed the downfall of Turkey. Islam must fall. But the war will not end as any of the nations decree. This is God's war, and He is going to end it in His way." ```markdown ``` 643 12th Street Joe Robinson Will Collins Phone Pico 3375 GOD'S WAR Phone Main 4011 Sunset Main 1186 Has large sunny rooms, baths and all conveniences!

This is sure a world war. It is God's war. He is chastening the nations. Germany is His prepared rod, and when He has used her well, He is going to give her hers, as He did Babolyn and Assyria of old. Don't be uneasy about that. Men cannot mistreat their fellows without paying for it. 'He that killeth with the sword shall be killed with the sword.' Rev. 13-10. See what has happened to Belgium. Just what she meted out to the nations of the Congo, has come back to her in full measure, and then some. And what England has done to the natives of lands who rebelled against her agents, Germany is doing to her. She destroyed villages with her navies and killed women and children. Germany invented a navy of the air and destroyed her cities and kills her women and children. The hour of God's judgment is come. It is the hour of divine retribution. NOT ARMAGEDDON. They said, "Dr." do you think this is Armageddon? My reply was, "No, sirs; Armageddon will be one decisive battle, fought in the valley of Megiddo in Palestine, and in the valley of Jehosaphat. It will be the last battle of the world and will be fought between the righteous and the wicked. This war is between nations. This war is what we see in the Revelation, 6th chapter. It is the sending out of the Red Horse and His rider. REVELATION DEALS WITH THE FUTURE. The Book of Revelation was written to show the churches of John's day; things that must shortly come to pass. And the Book of Seven Seals was not the book of redemption but the revelation of the future history of the world and of the church, to such as have ears to hear and eyes to see. We see that Christ revealed Himself as already present in the Church, as has been since the day of Pentecost. Then He sent messages to the Churches through their angels or bishops that had to do with their personal discipline. Then opening a door in heaven He said to John by His Angel, 'Come up hither and I will show you things which must be hereafter.' He then showed John a series of visions beginning THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE * SAN DIEGO * MRS. C. E. NORWOOD, Mgr. M. T. LAWS. Aest. Mgr. with that of the Book of Seven The Federated Clubs of San Diego Seals." held their reciprocity meeting at It was so important that the Church know what was in this Book that John wept because no man in heaven, earth or hell was found worthy to open the Book or to unloose the Seven Seals thereof. But one of the elders before the throne said to John, "Weep not for the lion of the tribe of Judah hath prevailed to open the Book and to unloose the Seven Seals thereof." So the Lamb of God, for the lion was also a lamb, took the Book and all heaven rang with His praises because He has been slain to receive power. He is the only man on earth who ever received power that way and He got All Power in heaven and in earth. And it is true that wherever the sun, Jesus shall reign. "Does His successive Journney run, His Kingdom spread from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more." THE WHITE HORSE. When the Lamb opened the first seal, the first beast of the four seen about the throne of GoGd said, "Come and see." Or as the Revised Version has it, simply, "Come," as speaking to the horse and its rider, rather than to John. There went out a white horse and he that sat on him had a bow. And a crown was given unto him, and he went forth conquering and to conquer. That white horse was The Gospel; its rider is Christ. We see that from Revelation, 19th chapter. It also represents the host of believers; Christ's witnesses; they, too, ride white horses and have the bow and crown. They, too, are victors and overcomers of the world. John was trying, by the Spirit, to show the Churches discouraged then by Roman persecution, and those of today discouraged by materialism, false philosophy, boastful science, false religion and what not, that the Pentecostal, Holy Ghost, Christ-exalting gospel is going to conquer. And helelujah! It shall! Pralse Our God forever! We feel like joining the heavenly host in the jubilations of an undying faith. We know Him. We believe Him! He hath already overcome the world. And every enemy shall be brought to his feet. They must come. The white horse shall conquer, but there are three other horses to help him. that was red. This is the calling out So there went out another horse of the red horse and its rider. When men will no longer hear the gospel; when they turn to science and commerce and false philosophy and culture and worship art and pleasure, and blood and race and human power; when they desecrate the Sabbath and turn from the Church to athletics and the burlesque show and seek to destroy the Bible and overthrow every commandment, then out goes the red horse. When men forget that other races are human; when they crush and oppress the weak and mock their religion and suppose themselves to be gods; when there is no more justice in the courts for the poor, and no redress for the stranger and the alien and the weaker race, then out goes the red horse. It is God's way of vengeance and retribution. This is God's war. He called out that horse. It is His day of vengeance. It is the hour of His judgment. Isiah spoke of it; in the second chapter he said that both the mighty and the mean man would be brought low, and the Lord alone would be exalted in that day. Are they not coming down? Down has come the Czar of Russia and all his retinue of princes; and the peasants have taken control and the Germans have brought them low. The King of Greece has come down. The Kings of Servia and Rumania have virtually no kingdoms. He is bringing down the great. The cry of the world is, "Down with tyrants." But poor men who are wicked are tyrants, too, when given power of any sort. Down they shall come, too. The Lord alone shall be exalted, for He alone is just and holy. Isiah saw the airships flying as to the clouds and as the doves to the windows.—Isa. 60:8. He saw the earth turned upside down and cities in desolation, the vintage destroyed. Isa. 3:4. the women afflicted and diseased; then the earth returned to holiness. Isa. 4. He saw those who drank because the liquor traffic would cease. Isa. 24:28.

Never before has peace been taken from the whole earth as now. Surely men are killing one another. The great The great sword is reaching out after man. THE BLACK AND THE PALE HORSES. There were two other norses going with this red one. The black horse and the pale horse. Their riders had a pair of balances in their hands and cried the price of food. That is the food dictator. They started in Gerd-many. They will soon rule the tables of the world. Then, the pale horse, its rider is death. Ah, so many die who are not slain with the sword. This war, as no other, is followed with a piague of tuberculosis, the Pale Disease. God said it in Deut. 28, that He would anoint the disobedient with consumption and fever and extreme burning. It is all here now. But let those who must go to war, look to Jesus. The soldier who kills a man in battle is not a murderer. He has not broken the commandment, "Thou Shalt Not Kill." For the people to whom the ten commandments were given were also commanded to destroy the Cananite, the Hittite and the Perizzite. Only they were not to shed the blood of war in the time of peace. The man who bears the sword is God's minister, if he be obeying his government. Rom. 1:3. Stonewall Jackson was a man of prayer. Many other warriors have been men of prayer.

I ask a continuance of the confidence of the people of Los Angeles and pledge them four years more of honest and efficient service which has marked my administration of the Sheriff's office." This is the platform of Sheriff John C. Cline, who has started his campaign for re-election. Sheriff Cline has been a resident of Los Angeles County for 49 years; and his private and public career is an open book to all who are familiar with the social, political and industrial development of the metropolis of the Southwest. He was born at Ballarat, Australia, of American parents, but nearly all of his life has been spent here. On his official record alone, Sheriff Cline is making his campaign for reelection. At the beginning of his present term pledged himself to conduct the business of the sheriff's office honestly, efficiently and economically, and that he has faithfully kept that pledge is attested by the fact that every Grand Jury has commended all of his official acts. When Sheriff Cline took office, the new Los Angeles charter provided that all fees collected within the county by him should be turned over to the County Treasurer. The letter and spirit of this law has been observed. Thus far, $163.763.23, all the fees collected, have been turned into the county. The so-called "fee controversy," which is now in the courts, is purely a test case, and will decide whether per diems allowed by the State to all sheriffs in California for the transportation of insane persons and prisoners are fees to which the county is entitled. The District Attorney of Los Angeles has advised the sheriff to retain these per diems on the ground that they are allowed by a State law, and that they do not come under the provisions of the charter. The code specifically states that these per diems are to be paid to the sheriffs. If they are discontinued, the expense of transporting insane persons and prisoners will have to be borne by the county. If the final decision is adverse to Sheriff Cline, all the per diems, which now represent about $16,000, will be turned over to the county. The sheriff bonds to the extent of $60,000. The question as to whether per diems were fees was not raised until the final year of Mr. Cline's term and after he had announced his candidacy for re-election. The sheriff has FOURTEEN about $10,000 tied up by the State at all times, as he must finance the transportation of his charges to the various State institutions. The per diem is for the use of his money, and the county is not out one cent. The high efficiency introduced into the sheriff's office under Mr. Cline is best shown in his preparedness measures to give Los Angeles adequate war protection. He has built up a powerful organization and has guarded the war industries so well that not an outbreak has occurred, although alien enemies have been active in Los Angeles. Federal, State and local officials have praised his cooperation with the National Government, and are urging his re-election on the ground that a change now would break up the formidable organization he has perfected to aid the nation's war Mid-Summer Dance and Specialty Review Presented by The Young Wom League JULY 24, 1918, GAMUT ADITORIU 1044 South Hope St. (Ta General Admission 35c N.

Writes on Democracy. Robeson Arrives Safely Over There. Writes on Democracy. It was my privilege as you know to attend a few weeks ago a Training School for Chaplains and approved chaplain candidates at Camp Zachary Taylor, Ky. While there I witnessed expression of pure Democracy which was fine, indeed. I wish to briefly describe it. I refer to this because it was marked, and again because it means much to us in this hour of toil and struggle. There were just three colored students among the ninety-one in attendance, and the manner in which they were treated will no longer be forgotten. The relationship at all times was cordial and courteous. No distinctions made, no discriminations in any form; every man was placed on his metal and caused to submerge all individual whims and fancies and lose himself in the stream of mutual consideration. The word democracy, let alone its expression, has been torn in the flesh of many. We have watched, and almost incredulously, for its expression. In the face of Waco, Dyersburg and others in our memory, I point you to Louisville, Ky., where for five weeks your representative told the warm rays of a Democratic sun. My faith in Democracy's eventual triumph was made strenger. Such a stream is bound to widen and deepen, as the days pass. The glowing success of the School was due to the mirroring efforts of Major and Chaplain A. A. Pruden, who was its commandant, and his very efficient corps of assistants. Major Pruden is one of the finest men God ever visited with His blessings, thoroughly Christian, markedly conscientious, and a great lover of men. The Government was indeed wise in its selection. The boys will never forget his Chaplains Chess with. Fleming, Feeley, and Lieut. Drinkley cannot be forgotten, the parts they played were continuous indeed, for side by side did the labor with the commandant. Also beneficial, strong, and fishers of men. We have got to work with their benediction determined to do our best. When the colon hang heavy and your hearts are sore, think of Camp Zachary, and remember it is in Kentucky. Mrs. M. L. Gothechalk and Mrs. J. M. Edwards Entertain. Mesdames Gotschalk and Edwards gave a most delightful party on last Saturday evening in honor of their daughter and niece, Hazel Theodora.
