ESTABLISHED 1870 LEADING RACE JOURNA' THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 33 PRESIDENT TROY OF THE LOWER CALIFORNIA LAND COMPANY MOVES INTO MEXICO Santa Clara Valley Population In- creasing Every Week. With the announcement that or Thanksgiving day that President Theodore W. Troy, of the Lower California Mexican Land & Development Company had closed all of his business affairs in Los Angeles, selling all of his possessions here and had taken up his permanent home in Lower California. Mexico, in the famous Santa Clara Valley, the movement of the Negroes into Lower California, Mexico was considered as having been officially begun. With Mr. Troy, Mr. R. M. Massey who was for thirty-three years a resident of Rivera, California, and his son, Dewey Massey, two of the most efficient and practical farmers to be found in Southern California. Before leaving, Mr. Troy informed the newspaper men that he considered his move into Lower California the most important move in his life. "I see," said he, "health, happiness and prosperity ahead in Lower California for me and for every man and woman of my race is the United States who follows in my lead. Five of the finest men and women of our race preceded me to Santa Clara yesterday and took with them nine of the finest children that are to be found anywhere. They have gone to join those who have gone before them in this wonderful new development which is about to turn the Santa Clara Valley into an earthly paradise. I am going to a land where freedom and opportunity beckon me as well as every other man, woman and child of dark skin. In this land there are no Jim Crow laws to fetter me; I am not denied opportunity because of the color of my skin and wonderful undeveloped resources of a country smiled upon by God beckon my genius on to their development. As soon as I get upon the ground and we complete our surveys we shall open up a new section of Santa Clara Valley where I hope many of my old friends in Los Angeles and California generally will be able to join me in the possession of some of these fertile lands." Mr. R. M. Massey stated that he was taking his son into this new land of freedom in Lower California to demonstrate to the white men of America that a colored man in the land of freedom and opportunity can develop as beautiful and as productive a country as ever Southern California dared to be, said Mr. Massey. "Tall all of the boys for us to watch our furrows fly. We are going down to produce something. My son Dewey and I are challenging all of the real farmers of our race in California to beat us in the production game at Santa Cara Valley. We are going down to produce and before a year passes by all of Lower california will know that the Masses are there." On Monday morning of this week the Lower California Mexican Land & Development Company shipped a 20,000-pound car of agricultural implements across the border at Tia Juanna. This car load was taken down over the new San Diego and Arizona R. R. to La Puerta, Mexico, and there unloaded twenty-two miles from Santa Calara Valley. With these implements the value of which runs up into thousands of dollars, the Santa Calara Valley settlers are now plowing the soil for the first time that it has ever been properly plowed. And as the plows make the furrows and the disc drills follow to drill the wheat seed into the ground, so the setters of the Santa Calara Valley are sowing the seeds of Liberty and racial feeling in Mexico for the 15,000,000 of the Negroes in the United States of America. The California Lagie THE SUNFLOWER AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION AND THE FARMERS' CONFERENCE The largest delegation in conference history, attended the 13th annual session of the Sun Flower Agrilultural Association at Kansas Educational and Industrial Institute, November 11, 12 and 13. This was the greatest meeting of its kind ever held in the Kansas State. Many wealthy and prosperous farmers from every section in Kansas were present. Each session was interesting, instructive, and uplifting. Various subjects were discussed relating to the management of the Farms and its profits. Tuesday at Eight o'clock Mayor Corwine delivered a splendid address. Aside from addresses several Instrumental and vocal numbers marked the program. Others who delivered addresses were as follows: H. G. Groves, the noted potato king, Edwardsville, Kansas; J. R. Rogers, Ottawa, Kans.; Editor Wm. Bettis, Wichita; Atty. Elisha Scott; Hon. Jas. H. Guy; Mrs. Emma Gaines; Drs. T. P. Martin and M. L. Ross; Mrs. C. C. Bailey; Mr. B. W. Watkins and Principal Geo. R. Bridge forth. During the Wednesdays program the picture of the late Charles Groves was unveiled by two students, a fitting and touching tribute to the memory of he founder of the Sunflower Agricultural Association and Farmers Conference. The collection of exhibits was the largest in the history of the Association. Prof. Bridgeforth and faculty should be highly commended for the royal manner in which they entertained guests during their stay at the Kansas Educational Industrial Institute. NOTICE EXTRAORDINARY Miss Minnie Albritton will leave in this coming week for San Diego, a return engagement to the Women's Federated Clubs (White). She will return home en route East. The Choir of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church will present her in Sacred Concert, Sunday evening. December 14th at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. PROGRESSIVE BUSINESS LEAGUE Its Presentation at Forum Last Sunday Receives Favorable Comment. The Progressive Business League of this city held forth at the Forum on last Sunday and presented most forcefully its aims and objects for the betterment of conditions along business lines. All business (excepting the opening exercise) of the Forum was dispensed with and the Business League had the right of way for the afternoon. The officers of the League, H. A. Reeves, Pres.; J. W. Coleman, Vice-Pres.; M. G. Stokes, Secretary; E. L. Dorssey and W. L. Gordon, occupied seats upon the platform. Secretary M. G. Stokes acted as Master of Ceremonies and in a few well-chosen remarks stated the aims and purpose of the League and the things already accomplished by the organization, after which he introduced various members who from differen en angles presented the hopes of organized efforts along business lines. The first speaker was J. H. Base, editor of the California Eagle, at the conclusion of his address he presented Miss T. Johnson, shirt maker, who aspires to open a shirt factory in this city. She was enthusiastically received and given assurance of a hearty support. Others who spoke were Mr. E. L. Dorsey, E. P. Marshall, Editor Chas. Alexander, who at the conclusion of his address favored with a humorous Dunbar selection. Also President of the Forum, J. W. Coleman; J. H. Shackelford; Mrs. S. Reaves and President of the League H. A. Reaves. It was a great meeting and we are LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1919 sure making sentiment for the revival of efforts worth while along the lines of business enterprise. YOUNG MAN MAKES GOOD AS M Look who's here! Amid songs of triumph and loving friends, Rev. and Mrs. F. A. L. Gordon; and we say here to stay, each looking fine. They arrived safely Friday morning and were met by loving friends, who have been prayerfully awaiting their return. But that isn't all—the members of the Progressive Club entertained with a beautifully appointed welcome home dinner at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis, 341 Austin street. The guests assembled in the beautifully decorated dining room amid carnations, roses and ferns. At the head of the table sat Rev. and Mrs. Gordon, encircled by the Deacons and Deaconeses of Tabernacle Baptist church; near them, 'neath a bower of ivy ferns, sat Mr. and Mrs. Smith of the Smith & Williams' Undertaking the establishment; also Mr. and Mrs. Williams Homer Dean and a large number of members and friends of this great speaker, Rev. Gordon. A very unexpected feature of the affair was the presentation of a lovely bunch of American beauty roses by Mrs. Dean, and a bunch of Coell Brummers, the minister's favorite flowers, by Mr. Homer Dean. Of course Miss Florida L. Hayden gave an original reading in keeping with the occasion. A number of local musicians furnished sweet music for the evening. Don't miss the welcome home reception and sacred concert given in honor of Rev. and Mrs. Gordon Friday evening. December 5th. Reservations held. All are welcome. They will spend this week at Riverside and will be back for the reception Friday. Rev Gordon will preach Sunday morning and evening, and will be glad to meet his people once more. The installation exercises for the purpose of inducting into office the newly elected officers of the National Association for Colored People was indeed a notable event on Monday evening at the Y. M. C. A. Quite a crowd of members were present and it seems with a renewed determination to make the organization stand up and take its rightful place at the head of the procession on the great Pacific Coast. The outgoing administration in a very befitting manner, pledging fealty and support, presented the incoming one. Dr. Sommerville, who has served faithfully and well for many terms as the head of the organization in turning over the reins of office to his successor, J. H. Shackelford, did not do however, without taking a shot at the Soaring Eagle (not in a vindictive spirit however) in which he seemed to think the Eagle unfair in its report of the Association on at least two occasions. Delivering himself of this load apparently, his burden of office was light indeed, and to the care and keeping of the new president, Mr. J. H. Shackelford, Mr. Shackelford in trun made a straightforward inaugural address in which he sounded the slogan of Progress and something for each member to do. His address was appreciated by all and following in his wake the other directors and officers in like manner pledged their unswerving support for a magnificent success and a continued progress of this great body. - Quite an addition to the business firms conducted by our racial group on Central Avenue, is the acquisition of the Sohn Drug Store, at 9th and Central Avenue, by Dr. Baumann. The Doctor is a pioneer in the drug business and only a few months ago came to this city from New Orleans, where he conducted for years one of the largest and most pretentious Drug Stores in the South. MR. RYRON E. KENNER There was a genuine reunion at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Offutt, caused by the return of their son, Mr. Pyron F. Kenner, who is home after almost ten years in the East at college and work. Mr. Kenner is the brother of Miss Ruby Offutt who also received the greater part of her education in the East. He is not a native son, but almost, since he was brought here when but one year old from St. Louis, Me. where he was born. His father may be remembered by many pioneers as one of the first young men of the race to enter business in Los Angeles. Roy Kenner came to Los Angeles in 1880 and was a successful Blacksmith and Wagon Maker, but lost his life through an accident when young Kenner was but two years old. When he entered high school his mother urged a profession as a life work but inherited the mechanical love and ability that his father for machinery, he chose mechanical engineering. Hence his parents said, "Alright, anything left so you make good." MR. BYRON He finished the grades in Los Angeles at 13. The high school in Pasadena at 17 and established a precedent in Pasadena by being one of the first two race boys to graduate with his class. Prior to that, Race students by lack of close application to duty had taken from five to seven years to finish the high school course. This was commented upon by the Superintendent at the time of graduation and too, Mr. Kenner's credits were of that high standing that he was excused from several final examinations. From Pasadena he went to Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo. State Normal, the Alma Mater of his mother, and spent one year, mostly to get acquainted with a Race School and Faculty. Not finding the course of study there he wished he went to Illinois University at Urbana, Ill., and took up Mechanical Engineering, and was graduated with honors from the college of engineering in 1916 with the Degree of "Bachelor of Science." Since that time he has worked almost continuously with the "Allis Chalmers Manufacturing Co., one of the largest plants in America, working the only Race man among so many felt that he must "make good" for more reasons than one. Two years of apprenticeship took manly courage to forge ahead regardless of minority in numbers and the work of that enemy "Prejudice." But so well did he do his work that his superintendent said when he completed his apprenticeship: "He's the best engineer we ever finished." These words made him feel the year he spent in hard study and sacrifice were worth while, for while his parents gave him an occasional small lift, his food, clothing, books and material for shop work were all procured by himself, which proves a young man can, if he will, climb to the top. After some months he was made traveling erecting engineer, perhaps the first Race man to hold that position: one of his first jobs was that of erecting the largest pumping engine yet made at Louisville, Ky. Mr. Kenner has established a record of being one of the few who can pump 50 millions per day. As the Winter came on he began to think of home and California, but the firm refused to allow him to quit but gave him a 3 month's vacation. This was soon taken advantage of F. KENNER and young Kenner was found speeding home to parents and the many old friends of former school days. "There is room at the Top," is once again proven, and young Kenner's friends in and about Los Angeles are looking for even greater works. All three Los Angeles Lodges of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows are joining in the mighty march of progress and have voted for the Endowment plan recently adopted by the Grand Lodge of that body. It has been demonstrated beyond per adventure that it is at least expected of these organizations that real benefits should be a part and parcel of the result of their closer bond of union, and this great Order has taken heed and joined in this progressive movement. In the recent year, as a result of progressive methods, this Jurisdiction has taken on new life and in all of its various branches is thriving and growing. Many of the Lodges now are taking in new members at every meeting. And with the adoption of the pending Endowment plan, it will not doubt triple its membership in this section. Reception Tendered Miss Ellen Prowd Friday evening, November 23, the Second Baptist church, with its different auxiliary, tendered Miss Ellen Prowd a farewell reception which was excellent in detail. For four years Miss Prowd has been so useful in every department of the church work that it is to be greatly regretted that she will leave soon to take up new duties in Brazil. At the reception many words of praise and commendation were showered upon this young lady because of the high standard she has set in this community, which should be an inspiration to others who must come after. The feature number on the program was a duet by Miss Velina Wood and her baby brother, Johnny, who took this occasion to uncover one of the sweetest major voices that one would wish to hear. My friends, we are today living in a most, wonderfully progressive age. All about us we can see the results of patient, faithful effort, which is good evidence that this old world is on the move now as never before. We are far beyond the age of the ox-cart and log-cabin, and are continually making rapid strides in almost every line of endeavor. Does not this tell us that progress must be natural and necessary, and that there is a purpose to be accomplished? good unless we, too, are progressive? Then my friends, I think you will readily agree that we are losers to a greater or lesser extent unless we set about to lay the foundation or plans for our journey through this earth. My plea is especially to the young folk, who are the future generation. Now, to have a solid, durable foundation, it must be constructed of solid, durable material. Therefore, I say most emphatically, make the Rock Christ Jesus your corner stone. Then let it be interlaced with the stones of Faith, Love, Charity, Hope, Inspiration, Ambition, Knowledge, Thrift, Diligence, Efficiency, Honesty, Unity, Patience, Preparedness, and Health and a good Conscience. We can take a front seat in the carriage of "Industry" on the road "Constancy," which will eventually lead to the "Heights of Ideals." Now, to accomplish any worthy task, we must first be masters of ourselves. To do this, we should study ourselves thoroughly and know our talents and understand our ability. We should endeavor to eradicate all objectionable traits wherever and whenever possible, and earnestly strive to develop our talents, knowledge and ability to the atmortem, and withal, be faithfully and constantly diligent. In other words, we must be highly efficient. It is useless to give in each time we seem besought with burdens or obstacles; in fact, they are exercises, and most always make us stronger. Presuming now that we are masters of ourselves, let us prepare to start our journey. First, we must set our hearts and minds on a worthy goal; one that commands a strong desire. Desire creates inspiration, inspiration creates enthusiasm, which in turn creates ambition, which gets the wheels in motion. Then we must strive earnestly, faithfully, patiently and constantly in order to reach the mountain top and obtain our reward. Of course we are not working for ourselves alone, but for the benefit of others as well, and it is indeed a pleasure and a privilege to benefit some other brother or sister. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP—NO MAN DOWN. MINNIE M. ALBRITTON FAREWELL RECITAL A BIG SUCCESS St. Paul Baptist Church Scene of Brilliant Affairs. Mire Minnie L. Albritton appeared in her last public recital in her home city before leaving for the East, and eventually Europe, last Tuesday evening at St. Paul Baptist church. Upon this occasion the little singer's voice was in excellent trim and she appeared to great advantage. Miss Albritton's voice is a lyric soprano, with even greater sweetness than range. Her soft tones are produced with a birdlike trill, while her high notes are gracefully reached, with a wonderful amount of melody. She has perfect control of her muscle, hence is able to entertain her audience with greater ease than the average singer. Her stage manners are good and particularly characteristic of the artist who is wrapped up in the art, and not in him or herself. Mr. A. S. Lacey, who was in charge of the affair, and the St. Paul Baptist, with its progressive little pastor, the Rev. Holt, are to be congratulated upon the success of the affair. The others, persons who aided in the success of the affair, were Mrs. E. Roberts-Saunders, accompanist who appeared also in a piano duet with Miss Manila Owens; Mr. John Gray was wonderful in execution at the opera. Mrs. Idell Albritton as leader of the choir, and Helt Ammons, baby boy, who simply cleans Ammons, baby boy, who simply cleans up wherever he appears. Lawrence Dunbar, and many others. Our opportunities are more numerous and much better than many of them had. We can be something, if we will only try. Wishing and waiting never accomplishes anything, and are only the delights of idle dreamers. We want to be workers. Our minds should be trained and experienced. We should take good care of our bodies, as they will be very useful in the battle of life.

At night the Missionary Societies had charge, the pastor leading in a short Sermon on Steadfastness. The others on the Program did excellently.

Fletcher rendered a pleasing solo and Miss Viola Brown gave a recitation. There were three new members. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH— The services at this church the past Sunday were of unusual interest. The pastor occupied the pulpit at the morning and evening services, speaking at the morning hour on: "Christian Stewardship." At the evening service he brought a helpful message on: "Prayer." At three o'clock in the afternoon Rev. J. E. McCorkle of the First A. M. E. Zion Church thrilled the hearts of all present as he spoke on: "Mountain Top Experience." An offering of $51.71 was taken in the special effort. This Sunday the first of the month will be our regular Communion service, morning and evening.

The Sunday School was well attended last Sunday morning and the lesson was very interesting. At the eleven o'clock service our Pastor spoke from Revelations. 22:17—"And the Spirit and the Bride say come, and whosoever will let him take the water of life freely." This is the last message that Jesus Christ left to sinners. In this effort the spirit of the Lord is not alone, the spirit of the church says come and then the spirit answers whosoever will come. The message whosoever means you and me. The Lord gives all blessings, all He adds so for a appreciated heart. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE from the Psalms of David 144.15.

Whittaker of Oklahoma preached a wonderful missionary sermon; Text, John 4:4—"Where there is no vision the people perish." Subject: Human Needs.

The Sacred Concert of last Sabbath and the eleven o'clock services both were inspiring and appreciated by the many people who gathered to hear the services and the program. The spirit that is predominant now is the proper kind upon which we base calculations for great events. Too much cannot be said about the growing efficiency of the Choir. Many promising voices are producing real harmony that is causing even the "Luke-warm" to say "Amen."

Anderson, Pastor. Sunday was a great day at this church. The pastor preached at both services to appreciative audiences. There was one accession to the membership at the morning service and one other during the week. The Holy Spirit was present and blessed both services. The singing of the Choir was a pleasing feature of the services. The unexcelled choir of this church charms and thrills the hearers with their gospel insong. The Epworth League held a very interesting session in the afternoon at five-thirty o'clock. The discussion of the lesson brought out many helpful points. The League increases in interest and numbers. The coming Sunday being the First Sunday in December will be Communion Day. The pastor will fill the pulpit and the saintment of the Lord's Supper will administered at both services. Every member is expected to be in attendance at one or both of the services of this day. The services at this church are always highly spiritual and powerful gospel messages are always given. Strangers and visitors are always given a hearty welcome. Come and worship with us. GRANT CHAPEL Watts, California Sunday at Grant Chapel was old folks day, and before the Sunday School had closed, these old souls were being brought to the church by the committee appointed by the young people, whose guests they were, in machines that had been detailed for that purpose. At 11 o'clock the pastor, Rev. Price, preached a soul-stirring sermon for these old people and the Amens and praise God, were heard from all, that showed how they did enjoy the soul feast. An excellent dinner had been prepared and while they were estifying in a class service arranged for them, the sisters were spreading the dinner, and on such a dinner; a plenty for all and then some. Tuesday was also the beginning of our Thanksgiving Rally and the collection during the day was 161.47, quite a number have pledged to pay $10.00 and the names will appear later on of those who pay. At the meeting of the Iroquois Social and Civic Club which held its regular session at the residence of Mrs. George Brown, 1340 Newton St., Friday morning, November 28th the Parliamentarian, Mrs. Wilson took charge with a very satisfactory drill. Aiding to illness and other misdiplications, there were few members present.

A, 368th, furnishes us with « bit of nistory. 3 Heroes I Would Recommend EL sison.? There are to my notion two (2) beancbes of the service in the pact war that were sadly neglected when it camegto the passing of rewards. These two were Laison and Scouts and were of the greatest importance in battle and really could not be dis- pensed with. Laison was the medium that kept the advanced points or lines in communication with the rear and from the rear all ordérs are istued The men were picked for intelligence, physique, reliability and braveness an were intrusted with the most im- portant messages concerning the dis- pesition of troops and) keeping onen the lines of communi¢ation so rhat all part of the line would know..ap- provimarely just what the other part of the line was doing. These mien to begin with must be brave, courage- ous and pen them many and at times the success of the battle depented The French were so mindful of this importance that dogs and pigons were vewarded with Creiz de Guertes. These men had all-kinds of hardships and bad weather to contend with. sithont proper equipment as they had to go light to\make speed—a rifle" canteen of water and stteh necessary equipment as could not be dispensed with, Sometimes whem parts of the line were lost they found ther. brougat ord-rs and took back imes~- saces that let those in high command know exactly what conditions weré. These men showed rare courage at all times and I have as yet to re nem- aber their being rewarded. As exactly all that transpired in the Division was _net at my command TE tan only say ‘ther many should be rewarded and to name theri, would say: Sergt. Dod-, son; Corp. Jesse Outlaw; and Rand Tyle:. A boy by the name of Battise from New Qrleans who was used as ah interpretey <nould have been reward- ed with Croix de Guerre. Now, these are not all by any means, for}many things that I had kept data ciwere lost and [ am trying off handed to say a werd in their defense. Of the men named I have never seen one of them shirk at any duty and each seemed to bear a charmed Ife. as they took the greatest chances and usually came out not mieh the worse for ware. Aniong. the officers from Califdrnia, Lieut Jesse Kimbrough was scout officer fér his Battailion and showed rare courage and exceptional adaptability in .he line of scouting and had the “confidence of his command to a man. I have heard some wonderful things said of this young man by members of his Regiment. LIEUT. EUGENE LUCAS. ; (To be Continued) _ Girls! One of the greatest fields ‘ open to colored girls today fs in news- paper work. Women of our race have made splendid records in this work. As long ago as 1886 (Mrs. M. A.

The new Ice Cream and Ice Corporation starts out under the most favorable auspices and will be one of the great business concerns of this section in a short time. Only a few more months of trials and tribulations under the banner of democratic rule and the people will again have the opportunity of rendering their verdict. Down in Georgia they have discovered a new way of demonstrating "Democracy" (from the Georgia viewpoint) to mob or burn a human being they now take him to the church and burn the church with their helpless victim chained therein. The message received by Congress on last Tuesday had the Wilson ring even though it is alleged he did not write it; but it doesn't go big with the Republican majority by any means. Going back to the old democratic "Free Trade" slogan is too great a stride backward. Have they caught Villa yet? was a by-word and joke, so much so that it became a chestnut, but for all that they persist in bringing back the same. The Gringoes who are always ready for war are rubbing their hands just now with ghoulish glee; but at that price, watch our prediction, there will be no war with Mexico. The Democratic party is best in levying taxes, in their game they excel, they no more hesitate to put an unbearable load on a tax-ridden people than when the democratic slave driver would wield his lash on the back of some unoffending slave. You can't beat "em" this party levied a war tax when there was no war and then when they actually had a war they levied a super tax. You have got to go some to beat the Democrats when it comes to levying taxes. Despite any feeling to the contrary all of our criticisms (if they might be so called) of the Association have been calculated to promote its growth and not to set it back; it has been our desire to see this branch more democratic and the feelings of brotherhood obtain and that we should all get together on common ground for its advancement. This could not be, if selfishness and narrowness in the slightest degree prevailed, so if it has been simply along that line we have labored and we feel at least that we have caused a great many of its members to think. The Simmons' date in Denver which he failed to fill was made by the editor of this paper; it was a postponed date made by us with the advice and consent of Mr. Simmons in perfect good faith as far as we were concerned, why he failed to fill it, or to give either the Denver people or ourselves any reason, we are unable to say as we have not heard from Mr. Simmons since we separated from his Pacific Coast tour at Seattle. We make this statement in view of the fact that we have received so many letters inquiring as to the affair, we will make no further announcement until such time as we have heard from Mr. Simmons.

Mr. Troy was a live wire in the community, a clean cut upright citizen and a great worker for the advancement of his race. He leaves this city and goes to Lower California that he might be of greater service for the advancement of the race, he has gone to prepare and make possible a haven of refuge, when the storms of prejudice and discrimination breaks over his native land. He got tired of hearing the clanking of chains and the rumble of Jim Crow cars, and being not content he sought solace and relief. In doing this act Mr. Troy "Has stepped out" and presents a practical demonstration of his faith. Here he demonstrates his real manhood and proves to the utmost his unselfish devotion for racial advancement, Troy was on easy street, so far as this world's goods are concerned, all he had to do was to rest easy and collect his rents, but no, he was not satisfied with that, he wanted his race to take its proper place in the march of progress and become real producers, and sought and obtained the ideal location, in a land which does not decryeworth on account of the texture of hair and color of skin, and in this situation do and accomplish the things which not only make a race but nation as well. He will have others who have a vision to join him and with this nucelous may a mighty movement and nation be the result.

ADMISSION FREE!!! Thanksgiving at the Old Folks' Home was a day of happiness with the inmates in acknowledgement to the loving kindness of the Heavenly Father, as did the Pilgrim Fathers some 229 years ago. The Board of Managers of the Old Folks' Home, which consist of loyal, faithful workers, had planned previously to Thanksgiving day; that all the inmates should be made happy on that day, if possible. Mrs. Mage-Lawson of Pasadena, the chairman of the food committee, and well efficient to plan for such an occasion, deserves no little credit for caring for the desired wishes of the President and members of the Board; everything asked for was given. Mrs. Jack Barrett of Pasadena sent down 100 pounds of flour; Mrs. Ida Jackson of Los Angeles, 25 pounds of flour; Mrs. Pat Ward of Pasadena gave a 10-lb. fine turkey. The food came as a whole and carried 12 cans of milk, 12 cans of corn; 1 lb. of tea, 1 1-2 lbs. of coffee, 2 lbs. of butter, candy, bananas, 5 lbs. lard, 18 lbs. of potatoes, 1 box of shredded wheat, 1 box of cream of wheat, tomatoes, appricots, 2 cans of baking powder, 5 lbs. of sugar, apples, box of sweet potatoes, 1 leg of lamb. The matron, Mrs. Townsend, paired no pains in preparing this dinner, which suited the appetites of all present. Menu: Roast turkey, roast lamb, cranberries, celery, cream potatoes, candy, sweet potatoes, macaroni, string beans, corn, sweet pickles, coffee, chocolate, tea, ice cream, cake. The table was beautifully decorated and set by the President of the Board of Managers, who came down the night before to see that everything was carefully carried out. The following inmates happily enjoyed the repast: Mrs. Bowling, Mrs. Worth, Mrs. Susan Thompson, Mrs. Emily Carter, Mrs. Scott, Mr. Wallingford, Mr. Dowdy, invited guest; Mrs. Bruce of Pasadena, Mr. V. Borgkin of Pasadena; Mrs. A. McGee, Eugene Pricket, Mrs. B. Johnson.

THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Miss Theodore Lord and Solomon Gordon on last Wednesday December 3rd, slipped away from their friends and were quietly married and herein comes the story of a double surprise. It had been planned for Miss Lord and Mr. Gordon to have a quiet marriage on the bride's birthday at home, 2003 E. 20th St., Wednesday evening at 9 o'clock. However, this leaked out and their friend began to plan a surprise by having present all their friends and acquaintances and also the far famed Walker's Jazz Band, and spring a sure enough surprise. The prospective bride and groom in some way or another were put wise and they too sprang a surprise and were quietly married at 2 p. m. and came to the home of her mother, Mrs. Morgan at 9 o'clock. The rooms were darkened as they approached and as the bride and groom entered the threshold, lights were turned on, and Jazz music burst forth, and amid a shower of rice was the greeting for the bride and groom. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion in a color scheme of red and green entertained with ivy. A mammoth bridal cake was in the center of the room on which 18 candles were placed indicating the 18th birthday of the bride and the bride personally cut the cake and saw to it that each one present received a piece of this most beautiful Wedding and Birthday Cake. Refreshments were served, and the guests indeed partook of a wedding feast fit for royalty. The bride Mrs. Theodore Gordon is the daughter of Mrs. Morgan of 2003 E. 20th St., and is a charming Miss, who is well-known amongst the younger set. She formerly lived at San Diego and at that city was one of the contestants in the contest conducted by the California Eagle. The Groom, Mr. Solomon Gordon has just recently returned home from over seas, where he served in Co. K of the 815th Pioneer Infantry with high credit and on his return claimed his bride. The Eagle joins with the many friends in wishing the happy couple a most pleasant voyage over the sometimes tempestuous sea of Matrimony. READ AND REMEMBE Queen Esther Xmas Bazaar, Wednes day and Thursday, Dec. 26 I take it upon myself as president of the Q. E. Misionary Society to urge all to come and patronize our bazaar on the 17th and 18th of this month. First I shall state to those who do not know our mission, what we stand for. We are a missionary society, our motto is, "America for Christ," also "For the Love of Christ and in His name." You may all wonder what the proceeds of this bazaar are for; it is for the poor and needy to buy food to provide for a while for families that are sorely in need. Yes, I know what we all shall say, we are poor, but listen, my friends, we are most of us poor in gold and silver, but when one has his health it is more than wealth. So come and help and you will be well benefitted by coming for we shall sell all kinds of pretty things our young people have been making for the past two months. Things for every one, from grandma down to baby. There will also be good things to eat, served in a Japanese room. Cake, pies, cookies, etc., will be sold. So I wish you one and all would come and spend liberally for the good cause in which we are striving to gain and make a wonderful success. Remember the Queen Esther Bazaar for the very Xmas Presents you MISS MAY ROGERS, Pres. ARMY OFFICERS CELEBRATE The city of Los Angeles is honored with the presence of 15 ex-officers of the A. E.

The rooms were gaily decorated with patriotic colors. Mrs. Josephine Johnson the cateress prepared an excellent dinner consisting of fruit cocktails, old fashion chicken dinner, with vegetable salad, pie a la mode, ice cream and cake, and demitasse SERMONETTE (By Ellen Consulo Prowd) "When the Eagle Builds His Nest." The eagle is the mightiest bird to be found in bird kingdom. When he builds his nest no other bird would think of intruding upon his premises. Even as the eagle builds well his nest and reigns supreme over his kingdom, so should man build so well the foundation of character that the winds and rains of adversity and temptation that would daily beset his path would have no effect upon his life in the way of destroying his foundation. When a workman goes to build a house, first makes his foundation—and then if the foundation is alright, he knows his building will prove safe. The question that should come to our minds is "How are we building and what will be the result?" The trouble is that the people in the world today are paying too little attention to the most essential thing—and that is character building Mothers and fathers, draw back the screen with me to your childhood days. How did you spend them? Were they spent in having beautiful thoughts and noble ideals? If they were, then you have no regrets, but can carry this thought with you to your grave: "I soared and built high." A boy leaving home to make a start in life said, "Mother and father, I'll never forget the hometraining you have given me, and if there is anything that would keep me straight as I leave you both, would be my mother, for she has been a benefit to my life." The poor mother, bursting into tears, said, "My son, my heart is sad as you leave us today, for I realize that I have not got a bank to put into your hands, as other boys receive when leaving home, but this thing I'll say to you: you'll drift into the world, meeting with all kinds of people; take this Holy Bible and may it ever light your pathway, and above all, be good and never be contented to remain in the same old cuts, but have ambition and soar high." Years rolled on, the old mother and father became aged and were looking for the time when God would say, "It is enough, for you both have done well, come up Higher." The mother had a longing wish to see her son before she passed out. It is true, she had heard from him, and friends gave glowing accounts of the good work of the young man in the city. But still, mother's love is so deep she wanted to see and know for herself. Finally, she disguised herself and went to the city; having her son's number, she readily found the house. Ringing the door bell, she was admitted and given a seat. Presently her son came out and said, "What can I do for you?" His occupation being that of a doctor, she said, "I am not well, I suppose old age is beginning to tell on me." After examining her and giving her medicine, he stepped out to answer a phone call; the label on the bottle attracted her attention, and when she looked she saw in large letters, "Do not stop where you are, but soar higher." Tears come trickling down the old lady's cheeks, and she ran hastily to her son and said, "Why is this inscription on the bottle of medicine?" He said, "My dear old lady, since you ask me, I will tell you, I have a dear good mother who taught me to build high, and after leaving home and building high, I wanted someone else to receive this blessing. Being a doctor I had this inscription put on my labels, not only doctoring their bodies but doctoring their minds. That is how we get the joy out of life old lady; receiving it ourselves and then giving it out again." The old lady flung herself on her son and said, "I can die in peace; I have truly seen the fruits of my labor." Aim high. Let us be like the eagle that soars higher and higher, until he is lost out of sight.

Call Miss. 331— and tell about your news items or call at 779 Market St. Rev. Washington of Los Angeles certainly stirred things up in Park Avenue Church, Tuesday, November 25th. He delivered one of the most powerful soul inspiring sermon delivered in Riverside in many a morn. And the members will not forget the message. Thanksgiving was cold and most disagreeable. The service that was to have been held at the 2nd Baptist Church did not obtain on account of the cold high wind which commenced blowing on Wednesday night. Rev. J. D. Gordon of Los Angeles dropped into town late Saturday night to rest. Well, think of a man like him resting in Riverside—not much, for before the sun gladdened the day with his beautiful smile, he was called over the phone, and just had to preach at Park Avenue Church, Sunday night. There was a splendid gathering of the town's people to greet him. Rev. Gordon is a favorite in this city and his presence here is the signal for an inspiring gathering whenever he will preach. He also preached at the 2nd Baptist Church, Monday night to a good audience. Rev. Gordon also visited Mrs. Moulton, who is confined at the County Hospital and left this week for home. Mrs. H. B.

It was Rally Day for the Old Folks Home. The pastor, Rev. F. W. Cooper, delivered the morning message from Psalm 41:11: "Blessed is he that, considereth the Poor." He delivered one of his best sermons in presenting the claims of the Old Folks Home. He certainly preached money out of some pockets that decided to give nothing at all and if every pastor preached in the same forceful manner the results of the Rally throughout the Associational bounds will be most gratifying indeed. Rev. H. H. Williamson preached at the evening service from Acts 16:23. "To the Unknown God." The day's collection was $21.00. Park Avenue Church. The service at this church was of the usual high spiritual nature. Rev. G. P. Littles held forth in the morning and Rev. J. D.

Crumbly---RealEstate---Insurance---Notary Public---785 San Pedro Stree DANNY EDWARDS HAS OFF NIGHT Danny Edward Danny Edward the classy little Banty. had his share of bad luck last week. when he was matched against Danny Kramer in the semi-wind-ups. at Jack Doyle's swat palace The two Dannys have met on several occasions and each time have put up a bitter fight THE to the fans' delight. In their contest last Friday night Edwards and old bad luck had a set-to of their own. In the first place. Edwards should not have went on. The first of the week he became sick and went stale in the training, not being able to eat as he should have, he he went in the ring four pounds under weight. But at that the game little fellow rather than disappoint the public, refused a substitute and did his best to make a showing in his condition. Hurt Hand in First Round. The first crack out of the box he pasted Kramer with a nice left hook to the side of the dome and sprained hand, not being able to use it. And throughout the contest he had to fight a difficult fight, using his right hard waiting for Kramer to lead, something that he was never known to do before. As long as Danny has been fighting he has always carried the fight to his man. But with Kramer doing most of the leading and he fighting with one hand, the fight was a draw. Just before the gong in the fourth round, when he was winning a draw for his effort, Todd had luck appeared again. Danny slips down, realizing the round was near over, and he could not wait a second for fear that the bell would find him on the floor. In getting up quickly, he became overbalanced and staggered as if Kramer had struck him, which was against him, and had a great deal to do with the decision. Had there been an experienced referee, the slip-down would not have made any difference. The first round was even; after the gong Kramer realized that he was up against a different man. Then he had fought in the other contest. Edwards has improved 50 per cent in his hitting power and Kramer is the man that knows it. He saw that Danny war riving to put him away, so he resorted to rough it all the way. Kramer being the heavier of the two, it made the goings pretty tough. He said nothing and kept slamming away with his one good hand, which made life miserable for his opponent. The second round was Edwards all the way; the third went to Kramer by a shade but the fourth found Danny back on the job slamming away trying to land the punch for a goat. When Edwards returns to his lugout up north and starts to putting the R. C. on the boys he used to outpoint because he couldn't hit hard enough to slip them a sleep producer, he will find the sailing in those parts rough, when they discover that he has developed a Kramer knockout kick. Watson Burns is the man to give credit for the improvement in Ed.wards' punches, and if he could be persuaded to take Danny in charge and handle him the same as he has handled other promoters, it would only be a course of time before he would have his charge on the trail of our present champ. Officer Charles Broady In Rare Form The Police and Union Oil teams met last Saturday afternoon on the Slauson diamond and gave the spectators a real treat. The Officers won 8-6, and for awhile it looked as though the Oil team would get away. Charles Broady was on the mound for the Police and pitched a nice game until the last, when he got himself in a bad hole, which looked like defeat. There were three men on with the score 5-6 and no outs; he walks the next man up, then hits the next, forcing in two runs, leaving the bases loaded. He then pulled himself together and struck out the next 3 to face him, retiring the side and winning the game. Now that the Police have won them but two starts, they are on the heels of the "T" team for a game Satur- Whether the challenge will be faced or not, we do not know, but when they are doing good they don't know it, and will try for something out of their reach or harder to subdue. The critics say they had better let the Y. M. C. A. alone and pick on some one else TRUCK RIDE TONIGHT. Those wishing to get their Xmas holly, will now have the chance tonight there will be a truck leaving the Y. W. C. A. at 9 o'clock for Ventura county to carry the holly pickers to the 160 acre ranch and will return on Sunday evening. All you need is (two beans) and a blanket. Your breakfast and lunch will be included. Call Miss Caution, Secy. of the Y. W. C. A. and make reservations. FERN CALDWELL WIN COUNTY TITLE. Mrs. Rosco Brown a Comer. Say, people! You missed a rare treat last Turkey Day when you failed to attend the Omega tennis tournament out at the Y. M. C. A. courts on Sephenson avenue. From start to finish the entries had the spectators sitting on the edge of their seats, in that steen below zero weather, with their fly-traps open gasping for breath, not saying a word, but doing the shipmy. What? Say, this guy said they wasn't shimmying, they were freezing. Anyway, whatever they were doing, it was alright. Ever, anything was so exciting, until no one knew the difference. There were only four ladies to enter, so they had their hair-pulling contest first. After the drawing, Mrs Henry Young was the first to speak. She was so surprised to know that when the drawing was over, that the first time in history that she did not draw Fern for a starter. Not that she is afraid of Miss Caldwell, but it is just her luck to pull the hardest nut to crack at the beginning, before having a chance to choke a few first Mrs. Young drew Mrs. Allen, while Mrs. Brown had to pick on poor little Fern. Say, guy! When these four relied up their sleeves and stepped on courts one and two. Or elimination, and a chance at the final round, the feathers started to fly. Take it from us, when the winners had won two out of three sets, they did something to be proud of, for it was anybody's set until the finish. The contest between Mrs. Brown and Miss Caldwell was a whang. Mrs. Brown winning the first set 6-4, then Fern staging that regulation come-back, winning the second set 6-3; then the final standing 5-1, in Miss Caldwell's favor when Mrs. Brown came back and won three straight, making it 5-4, and for a while it looked like she would tie up the score. But Miss Caldwell settled down as cool as a cucumber and won the deciding set 6-4, ending the contest and at the same time eliminating her hardest opponent. Miss Caldwell stated that Mrs. Brown gave her the hardest game she has had for some time. We then ad, journeyed over to Court No. 2., where Mrs. Young and Allen were still battling for the clowns, and until the finish you could pick any one of the two to win and no one would say different. Mrs. Young won the first set 8-5 and the second 6-3, but Mrs. Allen had the grand stand sitting with the entrance to their cafeteria open, expecting to see her stage a rally and come out of the scrimmage the winner, but "ole had luck" put his arms around her and she doubled a few times. Mrs. Young took advantage of the play and eliminated her by a hairline. Mrs. Allen is playing a wonderful game, and with a little more coaching we won't be surprised to see the May Day trophy go strolling out to the Allen dugout. Mrs. Young is going to lose that stage fright and giving-up spirit on one of those bright days, and when she does, somebody is going to be sick. She is a good enough player now, and say, that hack-hand stroke is a knockout; it is so good until she has all the men racket swingers talking about it and trying to learn it. And when she gets so she will stand up and fight Fern as hard as she does the others, she will be a bumble-bee in any one's dome cover. Miss Caldwell won the final round from Mrs. Young, retaining the championship and adding another trophy to her collection. The prizes will be awarded at the Omega dance tonight at Normandie Hall.

When it comes to hiking a few miles for prizes, we will have to hand it to the four ladies named. Charlotte Brickhouse, Bertha Johnson, Artie Dixon and Ethel Caution. They were the only ones game enough to stop the distance last Sunday, without a dozen machines trailing along to pick them up, in case they became weary of their task. It is claimed that the forced march of Caesar's troops had nothing on these four. They left the Y. W. C. A. at 8:05 a.m. migrated West on 12th St. to Main, South on Main to Pico and West on Pico to the Sea, not stopping to take on water, gas or oil until they reached the La Bonita at Santa Monica, at 12:35. Resting for 15 minutes, they then again took to the road along the Ocean Front, reaching Venice at 1:25, maxing the entire trip of 27 miles in 5 hours and 5 minutes. They claim to be the original concrete blisters and have sent out a challenge to the Y. M. C. A. for a match with Leon Steward's "Sugar Plums." Just why they call the "Y" boys such sweet names, we do not know. We heard one say when speaking of the Y. M. C. A. that those boys are big and husky enough to go bear hunting with a switch, and when you ask them to take part in something that "Y. W." is giving, you may as well ask them to drink the Ocean dry with a soda, water straw. Now Leon, from what we can learn the "Y. W." would like to see you no something aside fro/ picking on the Cops all the time. It base ball is all that you can promote, stay off the Cops' beat for a change and let us see you kick someone's else dog around. In giving out the trophies last Monday night, Miss Caution awarded them for constant speed, endurance and good sportsmanship. Miss Charlotte Brickhouse was the first one to flat-foot it into Venice winning the Loving Cup, which was given by Miss Caution, Secy. of the Y. W. C. A. The second prize was won by Miss Johnson, who too stepped in just a couple of seconds behind the winner. The prize for second place was a beautiful Overnight Bag, which was donated by the Bullocks Department Store: the prize for third place was a Hand Bag offered by the Broadway Department Store, which was won by Miss Artie Dixon, who did the FroT trot for third honors. Miss Ethel Caution, the promoter of the hike did the Tango somewhere between the winner and no two at the finish. She announced later that any time "Push Cart" Steward and his chair-warmers could come out of the parlor long enough for a contest, she and her pace-setters will be ready to take them on—that is, if they are sure that they will not catch a severe cold for coming out.

Young Jack Johnson, the coming Middleweight has sent out a challenge to meet any of the Middleweights in the country barring none. Jack is well known on the Coast. After joining the Army he made a rep for himself, winning over everything that looked like a boxer. Since his discharge he has been fighting all the top-notchers that he could coax over the line for a match. Johnson is a two-handed fighter and carries a K. O. in either mit. During his stay around Boston he met all the best boys in and out of his class. The only man that got away with anything was Pocky Klyrn. It is believed that in a return match he will take good care of Flynn and the another scarp to his belt. SAM LANGEORD KNOCKS OUT McBRIDE Sam Langford; the 'Terror' of the heavyweights, added another victim to his credit when he stopped Dave McBride at the end of one minute of boxing last Wednesday night at Rock Island, Ill.; Sam seems to be getting better as he grows older in place of going back. GEORGE CARPENTER KNOCKS BECKET OUT Joe Beckett, the English champion had his boxing career cut short, when he went down to defeat at the hands of the French champion, George Carpentier, last Wednesday night. The fight was scheduled to go twenty rounds, but, Beckett unfortunately stepped into a right upper cut, which sent home the bacon for Carpentier. Georges will now turn his attentions to this side of the pond, for a match with Jack Dempsey for the heavy-weight championship of the world. Dempsey stated that he would box Carpentier providing that the purse is large enough. Dempsey is now starring in the Movies and will enter the ring as soon as he finishes his present contract. Jack states that he will be ready for Carpentier in March. What is said to have been the greatest Football as well as social event among the Negro population of the East occurred on Thanksgiving Day at Philadelphia, when Lincoln University and Howard University met on the grid iron of the National League Base Ball Park. The final score was nothing to nothing. Details of the event will be found in next week's issue of this paper. Without a doubt Mrs. Henry Young is the queen of mixed doubles of Southern California, having demonstrated this fast several times in the last four years including last Sunday in the semi wind up of Thanksgiving Day Tournaments at the Alpha Courts where she and Eddie Harris smashed their way into the L.A. County Championship, much to the consternation of their able opponents, Fern Caldwell and Roxie Byrnes and a multitude of marping onlookers. In their first two tournaments not only did they win, but they YB WM . M. WATSON terry working in perfect order in the back court, the pair smothered the champions to the tune of 6-4, but the final victors had resuscitated sufficiently in the next period to break loose with some big league stuff, leaving the reading, 6-2. Then to prove that the stunt was human and not artificial, they duplicated the dose with sincere compliments and winning the match, 6-4, 6-3. The belated Broyles-Kemp match was side-tracked and will be played Sunday, December 7th. Mrs. Brown and Wendell Gladden defaulted their match to Caldwell and Broyles. Don't you dare mis the "Trophy Dance." Saturday night, December 8th, at Normandie Hall, as the entire tennis element is expected to raid the place, so let's all be in on the round-up. aye—boy! Indeed all of her many friends and well-wishers will feel sad to hear that that graceful little tennis wonder Miss Florence Harris recently sustained a painful injury of the spine and has been warned by the doctor to 'ay off tennis henceforth, but here is hoping that the pill maker had the wrong cure, and that this pleasant and sweet manned little athlete with again grace the wire-en-screened turf. And right now let's begin planting mines, bombs, submarine demipiers and quantities of other destructionable tennis propaganda in order to blow-up the sleepy fan's idea that the national pastimeing has reached its goal. Nay, nay Pauline,—next year we are going to have some real sport, get me! The slogan for 1920 is "Frisco, or bird!" Every summer several hundred of the local crop of capitalists, laborers and members of tennis fraternity, either motor, sail, ride the ratler or walk to the Gate Cities; we need a Pacific Coast tennis champion; there are ninety-three members of the Alpha Tennis and Outing Club of Seattle; (which itself is a full-fledged member of the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs) there are enough hams, sharks, tennis-slackers, players, pretenders and plain fans camping around Tacoma, Spokane and Portland to whip Villa and his gang of bandits, and it's ten to one that these birds would be tickled to death to beat their way to Frisco to meet our Southern bunch of immigrants at the half, way house and tiss apples and oranges at each other Get the idea?

Forgiveness, yes, but to repossess yourself of what you have lost would take the judgement of the whole mind of God in Christ. Now, it is a fact that chastity is as clearly marked on the form of a human being as the color of the skin, and is just as readily discerned. The race that cannot tell by the sight of the eyes the difference between the chaste and the unchaste, do not know what virtue means. They may think they know, but that is because they inform themselves within their own limits. The white man or woman by the sight of the eyes knows a virgin, and the evidence in view is against the idea that chastity exists to any great extent among the youth of the Negro Race. "CHARACTER THE BASIS OF RACIAL SOLIDARITY." Concluding Chapter of the Famins Address Delivered by David Mendes at Forum I can conceive of no greater enormity. But that explains but one-half of the peril. Colored boys need to be taught that a sin against the virtue of their girl companion is a sin against the Race, and keeps it in darkness. The damage done is altogether irreparable, no matter what the preacher of evangelical foolishness may falsely declare. It is my duty, and I feel a sense of grave responsibility to tell you so, that you escape speedily from a place that is no longer tenable. If the white race wants cooks, and washwomen for themselves, and That this feeling has its acutest expression in the United States is merely because nowhere else is a Caucasian population in their native habitat confronted with such large numbers of people of a different ethnic type. It would be a reflection on Christianity if it were unable to overcome race prejudice. But it is a fact that Christianity does overcome race prejudice, and in a way that is absolute and complete, leaving nothing to be desired. I predicate what I am about to say on this proposition: that if the youth of a race, and especially its unmarried young womanhood, are not chaste virgins, there would be in that race nothing to respect certainly no basis of equality with a race that values morality; the Christianity of such a people would be an empty form. A young woman who, at the time of marriage, not a virgin, is not fit to be the mother of children. Her motherhood means nothing at all in racial evolution. "For he that is joined to a harlot is one body, for two saith he shall be one flesh." A people in such a predicament could never overcome the deadness of sin. But he that is joined to a virgin there is a great mystery of Christ and the church." This union of flesh of husband and wife, man and woman for good or for evil, light or darkness is always expressed in the child. The wickedness of the white race is very great for looking on, while one-half their number take advantage of the economic, political and social helplessness and defenselessness of the race to make prostitutes of their girls. This, in my opinion, explains attacks on white women when they do happen—a sort of psychical retaliation. The white man well knows the Negro will never rise above the level of his mother, yet his help is to veneer a fallen girl with the drapery of social accommodation, never to protect her from the perils of sexual violence. Some years ago there ran in one of the magazines a series of articles on, "Following the Color Lines," in which it was stated by a white woman of Georgia, "How many colored girls can attain the age of maturity without falling into the hands of some white (shall I say man?" The question was hers, not mine. Now, upon the testimony of this white woman it appears, then, the race is first terrorized by the brutalities of lynch law, and by every other weapon of an aggressive social repression, and the next moment one of its women is asked for sex favors by the creator of their fears. It is perfectly clear that in such a place a young girl is without the right of independent, untrammeled decision.

BY JOHN A. GRAY The value of correct breathing in singing is fully appreciated and much attention is paid to it by all good singers. However, few instrumentalists are aware of the value of breathing correctly while performing their numbers. THE laws governing the insurance companies are so much more rigid than any other branch of the financial world that a FAILURE of a life insurance company organized under the Old Line Legal Reserve Plan of the various states is almost unheard of. NOW! is the time to take advantage of our mistakes for the past fifty years as a race of people, by proving to the world at large that we CAN and WILL cooperate the same as other groups are doing, and until we do learn to cooperate, we can never hope to be a power as a Race of people. The heart is the seat of the emotions. This irregularity in turn affects the breathing and causes the blood to flow faster through the body. WE must begin investing our money in legitimate race enterprises of all kinds, and remember, that no matter what our shortcomings might be, it is up to us to work out our own destiny, and in doing so, we are going to make many mistakes. However, that should not discourage us, because, no people have ever accomplished anything who did not make mistakes. Hence, in a passage that requires deep emotion with it. As an illustration let us take some well-known composition like the "Traumerel" of Schumann. This evensgoing, smooth, number requires deep, slow breathing. The "Romance," which is generally played with it as a sort of trio, is entirely different in character and requires a quicker, more agitated breath. RECENT disturbances throughout the United States have "AT LAST" convinced us, that WE CANNOT and MUST NOT, depend upon other groups to help us. And after all, it will be better for us, because they have forced us to begin opening up businesses of our own, whereas, before we were satisfied with supporting theirs, not knowing at what moment they would close their doors against us, which they did without a moment's notice. STOP FINDING FAULT with those who are trying to promote business enterprises. Instead of criticizing their methods of doing business and predicting their downfall, GET BEHIND THEM and help them to succeed in whatever business they are trying to promote. No performer can render, let us say a "Cradle Song," with the proper interpretation unless he breathes with a quiet, regularity, free from all agitation, otherwise the effect is lost, and instead of lulling one to sleep it will keep one awake. The performance of a stirring march calls for another type of breath control. Most players know that in all tremendous climaxes the lungs should be filled with air and emptied slowly as the climax wanes. START TODAY by subscribing for at least one share of stock in the LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, which is going to give employment to thousands of our young men and women, protection to thousands of homes and help to educate thousands of our children.

For Further Information, Call on or Address LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Home Office—3515 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Now a good many players do this unconsciously, and that is because they really feel what they are playing and this emotion regulates of itself the kind of breath necessary. The subject is too great however, to be fully exposed in a short article like this, but he who would like to know more about this phase of his art will do well to experiment along the line and investigate of its worth and importance for instruction. Without any obligation on my part, will thank you to send me further particulars relative to securing stock in your company.
