ESTABLISHED 1870 LEADING RACE JOURNA THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 SOUTHERN MOB- OCRATS BURN BODY IN A CHURCH Baltimore, Md., Nov. 20.—There is a new form of outrage being practiced throughout sections of the South. This time it takes the form of desolation of property rights as well as life. Time and time again stories come here showing an organized plan to take from the colored people the property they have lattred and saved, and it is done by mobocratic methods. The lawbreakers use any and every pretext as an excuse for the plan. They claim a colored man has insulted or spoken back to a white man, or struck him, or outraged or spoken insultingly to a white woman. With this as an excuse, they make demands which no self-respecting human being would comply with, and then kill him in resentment. Word has reached this city of the action of a mob in Texas, which urged a colored minister to sell a pair of mules owned by him, but which he refused to sell because they were not only the best mules in the neighborhood, but he needed them in his work. The mob then burned his barn and house and drove his family out of the country. The minister took them over into Oklahoma, where in a short time he was visited by a Klu Klux crowd, at night, and told that a check had been forged in his name in the local bank by one of the local young white men but, that he would do well not to say anything about it. He was oblidged to stand the loss of the money. That man had a son in the army in france fighting, perhaps in the place of the very white men who were in the mob, and for the country which professed its laws powerless to help him and his kind. Today there has come the story of a dastardly outrage in Cadwell, Ga., where a mob cut out the tongue and otherwise maimed a colored planter named Cooper who refused to sell his cotton to them at a lower price than that of the general market. Not satisfied with this crime, they placed the body in the neighboring church, of which he was an official, and burned the church and the body. Things did not rest here, but the mob searched out a neighboring colored planter, J. A. Steele, who was a friend and sympathizer with the victim and ordered him to leave the neighborhood in twenty-four hours. This man passed through Washington las Monday morning with his five small children and wife, having left behind him his sixty acres of land and his home and property in general. Through the Editor of The Eagle and the Ministers' Alliance he was assisted on to Comden, N. J., where he has a son. These are but a few instances of the, many which have occurred among the white people in a country which went to war against the Hun because he did these same things to white people. When indignant colored people protest against this treatment they are called radicals, and when they arm and protect themselves they are mobbed whenever large groups of white men find a single or a few colored people unprotected. It is common to read where a mob of from 200 to 500 whites mobbed one to four Negroes. Not only the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution being negated, but the fundamental principles of American government—the protection to life and property and the pursuit of happiness—are a dead letter when people of color are concerned. The California Lagie vigilance societies and protect themselves and the officers of the law whenever a man of color is threatened with violence. Let sheerls in these lawless sections swear in a pose of colored citizens to aid him in defending the man and upholding the law and this form of lawlessness will cease. CORNER STONE LAYING. The Corner Stone of the First A. M. E. Zion Church, Pico and Paloma Avenue, will be laid Sunday, December 21st, at 3 p. m., by The Grand Temple and Tabernacle, International Order of Twelve, Knights and Daughters of Tabor. The pastor, Rev. J. Edw. McCorkle, B. D., assisted by brethren of the Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance of Los Angeles County will conduct the Ritualistic Service. Rev. E. M. Clark, Presiding Elder will deliver a short address. It is expected that twelve or fifteen hundred people will witness this ceremony as the church, Temple and Tabernacre command a following of half that number. The Knights and Daughters of Tabor is one of the two Fraternal Orders on the Pacific Coast operated entirely by Negroes, this fact has contributed largely to its wonderful growth and progress. On this day the Order will be represented by six Tabernacles and three Temples and the Masonic Temple, 12th and Central, headed by the Band of the Uniform Rank, and march to the church. Bro. E. R. Swain, Master of Ceremonies, Rev. J. Miller Beane, pastor Hamilton M. E. Church, Grand Chief Mentor. GARVEY'S SHIPS FLOAT NEGRO NATION. "SAIL ON FOR BROTHERHOOD AND LIGHT!" Dedicated to Marcus Garvey, the Moses of the Negroes. (Py Louis Michel, the Jew.) Sail on, Black Star line ships, sail on Through deepest seas and testing gales. Sail on, sail on till truth has won And great goods sales mean not souls' sales! Sail on till Negroes have regained Their stolen land, their brother chance And every Black child defamed, pained Has wakened up from cruelest trance! Sail on good ships and plough your way Till Afric' sees her virgin day And all freed Negroes earn their pay As men, not as harsh tyrants say! And when these ships the oceans plough And bring to Blacks their kinfolks news— Cementing ties, rough severed now, Put healing through these sailing crews— And when through dark of night, day time The look-out guide spies visions grand Then all sing 'midst joy-tears and chime: "Again we see our motherland!

New York City, Nov. 27—So many applications for membership in the Roosevelt Memorial Association are being received at the Association's Headquarters, One Madison Avenue, New York City, it was announced there today, that it will be several months before all of the membership certificates can be mailed out to the great number who have subscribed to the Memorial funds. William Boyce Thompson, President of the Association, made the following statement concerning the Association's problem in keeping up with the vast amount of mail which it is receiving: "Everybody who has subscribed to the Roosevelt Memorial Association's funds, with which it proposes to perpetuate fittingly the memory of Theodore Roosevelt, will receive a membership certificate. So great has been the Association's call for men, women and children of the United States to join the Association and thus register their appreciation and approval of those high ideals of Americanism which Theodore Roosevelt exemplified, that membership applications are being received in increasing volumbe daily at the Association's offices, One Madison Avenue, New York City. The great amount of indexing and tabulating of these returns, together with the work necessary for making out these certificates properly, and mailing them, means that of necessity several months must elapse before everyone will receive his or her certificate. As the membership movement is continuing throughout the United States more applications will continue to be forwarded to this office daily, thus increasing the cerical work. The officers of the Association have asked me to make this act public in order to assure those who have not yet received their certificate, that they will be forthcoming as promised." ATTORNEY GOES BEFORE BAR OF JUSTICE The trial of Attorney W. A. Tyler, for improperly driving an automobile on last 4th of July, is on as we go to Press in Judge Gavin Craig's Court we will give account of the result in our next issue.

Santa Clara, Lower California, Mexico December 8, 1919—With R. M. Massey, the veteran farmer, formerly of Rivera, California, in the lead, the largest group of plow teams in the history of the Santa Clara Valley is now plowing the fertile lands of Santa Cara as they have never been plowed before. The season's rafffall today has been copious and the prospects for wheat crops are above the average. President Theodore W. Troy of the Lower California Company announced today that it is his intention to put in the largest wheat crop in the history of he Santa Clara Valley. Mr. Walter J. Simpson, the efficient engineer, who has subdivided practically all of the Palo Verde Valley lands surrounding Blythe, California, arrived here today and immediately began the survey of the divisions of the Santa Clara Valley lands which will soon be thrown on the market. One of the sights of the Valley is to see young "Teddy" and Claudius Troy playing with their new Mexican playmates. These youngsters are acquiring the Spanish language with a remarkable ease. Already the youngsters have dubbed young "Teddy" as their "Presidentee" or Mayor. Their mother, Mrs. Mary Troy, the wife of Mr. Claudius A. Troy, of Los Angeles, California, is gaining reputation in the Valley as a hiker, having walked over more of Santa Clara Valley than any other of the new comers who have lately arrived there. The Valley residents are looming forward to the coming of new settlers from the San Joaquin Valley and the Palo Verde Valley in California. The mornings here are crisp and cold and decidedly invigorating, while the days are heavenly. The children for the past two weeks have been spending their days in wandering through beautiful Summer Canyon, which they call a "Wonderful World." IN THE WEST AY, DECEMBER 13, 1919 MORE ABOUT LOWER IN CALIFORNIA PRESIDING ELDER J. LOGAN CRAW IN POCATELLO, IDAHO Pocatello, Idaho, Nov. 28, '19. Mr. Bass, Dear Editor: Allow me to say a word through the columns of your very valuable paper, "The California Eagle." Our good Presiding Elder of Puget Sound Conference, who has been with us seven days holding his first quarterly conference, which ended on the 17th day of November was a grand success, and his many friends whom he had the pleasure of visiting, while in our city were sorry to see the time come when he could not stay with us any longer. Rev. Craw arrived in our city on Tuesday evening, November 11th from Bolse, Idaho, where he had finished his first quarterly conference. He reported a delightful trip. On his arrival in our city he was met by Rev. H. C. White, pastor and Bro. Jas. W. Minto, district Steward. In a very short time he was escorted to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Jones No. 325 North 5th Avenue, where dinner was waiting for him, a dinner he enjoyed very much. On Wednesday, breakfast at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes of 345 N. 5th Avenue. Thursday morning, breakfast with Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Carter, 726 West Halifax St.; dinner at 5 p. m. with Mr. and Mrs. C. Youngs, 341 N. 4th Avenue; Friday morning was fast morning which was observed by all. Friday at 1 p. m. lunch was served by Rev. H. C. White and wife; dinner at 5 p. m. by Mr. and Mrs. Overhart, 355 N. 5th Avenue; Saturday breakfast with pastor and wife; Duck Dinner at 5 p. m. by Mr. and Mrs. Killguars and Sunday breakfast with pastor. At the eleven o'clock service Sunday Elder Craw preached a wonderful sermon from the theme: "The Model Congregation." After the service Rev. Craw was entertained until 7 o'clock at the home of District Steward Minto and wife with a turkey dinner. Rev. Craw preached at the evening service and gained three converts, total collection for the day, $45.61. Monday 11 a. m. Rev. Craw and party dined in the Railroad Dining Hall the guests of Bro. Chas. Albert; at 6 p. m. dinner was served by Bro. S. O. L. Boyd of 243 N. 3rd Avenue, Mr. Boyd maintains a first class tonsorial parlor and kept Rev. Craw in A-1 shape while here. Tuesday a. m. breakfast with Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong and dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Brown. While in the city Rev. Craw stopped at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Pearson. Mrs. Pearson was away during the stay visiting her son in Seattle. On Wednesday 6.45 a. m. Rev. Craw departed for Butte, Mont. NEW PREACHER COMES TO PASADENA The Rev. John H. Lewis of Kansas City, Mo., but originally from Atlanta, Ga., is the new pastor of the First A. M. E. Church at Pasadena. The Rev. Lewis received his A. B. at Morris Brown; P. D. at Yale and A. M. at Chicago, comes to Pasadena at this time from one of the largest churches in Middle West fully prepared to begin the reconstruction period in church life in Pasadena, and since he is but a young man splendidly equipped for the great work entrusted to his care greater Los Angeles is looking for a great revival at Pasadena. Now that we have started, let us not become discouraged, but cultivate a happy, cheerful mood and a determination that will crush obstacles and opposition right and left, and continue to press on and on, or winners if we say we are, for life is what we make it, and the world without reflects the world within. Bye and bye, as we progress, our strength and speed increases, and it seems that all nature and conditions begin to take sides with us, and graciously acknowledge our masterfulness. The pathway becomes more beautiful and enchanting and we can hardly realize that we once had a humble start. I would like to call your attention to an incident concerning a certain "Deacon Greene" down South. For years Deacon Greene had convinced the folk that he was the bravest man around. So one day, during the absence of an aged hermit who lived in a supposedly haunted house about seven miles from town, Deacon Greene was called upon to hide there for a few nights to prevent any theft or damage to the property, Well, now, of course the Deacon was in heart and mind as brave as could be, but it seemed as though all at once, his legs and feet got so ambitious. However, he put on a solemn face and consented to go. He arrived before sundown and examined the entire place thoroughly and concluded that perhaps it wasn't so bad after all. He retired shortly after dark and left the window open and put his clothes under the pillow, feeling that he might change his mind about staying all night before morning. Well, about 2 a. m. a large eyed owl flew in the window and perched on the foot of the bed. It happened that the Deacon was dreaming about ghosts at that time, when all at once the owl flapped his wings and uttered 'Who-0-0-0, Who-00-00-0. The Deacon started up, and seeing those large sparkling eyes, thought his finish had begun. He made one grab for his clothes and cleared the foot of the bed, owl and all, and out the window without touching the floor. In his haste he forgot some of his clothes; in fact all he had was his hat and socks. He made the seven miles in seven minutes, and when he reached home he said, 'Dat ghost kin have all dem woods; an ah knows ah lef him out thar, 'cause ah sho been travelling some." And likewise we, too, can diligently run the race set before us, and when the autumn shadows of this life begin to gather and our locks are tinged with silver, we can proudly look back upon our pathway and realize the great amount of real good we have accomplished. We will know that the Great Creator shall richly reward us for our labors. We shall enjoy limitless consolation because of the fact that we have benefited some portion of humanity and helped some poor pilgrim on to better, grander and more joyful realizations. We will know that God Almighty will most certainly give us our crown of victory, with great honor and happiness, because we did not fall to use our talents. Then, when our period of usefulness has almost ended and we are expecting soon to be assigned to our mansion above, in the Celestial Domain of the Great Beyond, we can, perhaps, pause to lightly consider that, like "Deacon Greene," we, too, have been traveling some. The Allensworth Club will entertain in honor of its returned members Wednesday afternoon, December 9th at the residence of Mrs. Kendall of M. 9th St., near Central Avyne. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP—NO MAN DOWN. COLORED MAN SUES COMPANY Declaring he was discriminated against because of his color and that he was insulted and humiliated on a Southern Pacific Train, Edwin M. Thompson, a Negro, filed suit today in the Superior-Court for $2000 damages against William J. Beurield, steward of the dining car, and W. D. Hines, federal railroad administrator. The plaintiff alleged he was denied the full accommodations and privileges of the dining car on the way from Bakersfield to Los Angeles, Nov. 21, ast. POLITICIANS IN GRAFT CASE THREATENED A underworld plot to destroy the lives of a well known former Negro politician and a former investigator for the district attorney has been hatched by denizens of the Central avenue district, according to reports received by the police today. Detectives were detailed to make a full investigation. According to police informants, the former Negro politician and the former investigator, who is a white man, will be killed if the gangsters carry out their threat, in retribution for their alleged participation in a recent graft scandal. Pleas To Desert It was reported that the Negro has sought refuge in the Mojave desert, while the white man is still in the city. More than a fortnight ago the first reports of the alleged death plot reached Chief of Police George Home. No attention was paid to the report as the officials believed it was the work of a joker. During the last few days the reports have been persistent and have come from most reliable sources: In each instance it has been stated by the informant that the two men have been marked for death because of their work in the recent graft cases. The former Negro politician, it was reported today, has hidden at an isolated spot in the desert and lives in constant fear for his life. According to the police reports, this man remains in his retreat and is never without a rifle in his hands, while watch dogs guard as he sleeps. ENTERTAINS: Mrs. Arnold Bankston of E. 23rd St., last Sunday evening with a reception honoring Sgt. G. K. Jouce of Co. B, 25th Inf., Nogales, Arizona; Misses Emily and Lyda Duncan; school teachers of Kansas City, Kansas; Misses Carrie Mitchell and R. Hackley of Houston, Texas and Mrs. S. Thomas of Oakland, Cal.

Mrs. Gamble and Misses Beatrice Whitted and Ethel Wood presiding over the coffee and chocolate tables. Thirty-five guests were present to enjoy this very hospitable affair. The Policemen's first Annual Hall will be held at Shrine's Auditorium, December 27th.

Some people are wondering where to go on Christmas night—That's easy—The Owls at Blanchard Hall. Those Owls were a wise old bunch when they chose Christmas night, because they knew everybody would be there. THE REEVES JUNK COMPANY H. A. REEVES, IT'S GENIUS In making the rounds, the Eagle correspondent dropped in on Mr. Henry A. Reeves proprietor of the Reeves Junk Yard, 1429 Santa Fe Street, and had a very pleasant visit. The wanderings of Ulysses are not more interesting than the facts that circumscribe the past history in the life and endeavors of Mr. Reeves. This progressive business man of the race was born in Montgomery, Alabama, where his boyhood days were spent attending school and art classes working for the small sum of fifty cents a month, trudging along, planning, hoping and accumulating what little he could until the day came that he went to Little Rock, Arkansas, where he spent his time working for a while, until his advent to California. Nature semingly has hammered out his success and character on the avail of adversity, for in 1906 tiring of the jobbing work in which he was employed, he entered the junk business and has been in the same business at the same location every since. This proves not only that determination and tenacity will merit success but that Mr. Reeves possesses that rare quality that is so essential to the man in the commercial world, which we commonly term 'capacity.' Mr. Reeves has a wonderful ability to accumulate and in talking over business with him, it appeared to the Eagle Correspondent that his whole ambition was set upon creating more avenues for business for our people—stimulating it with activity that would offer greater encouragement for all; to quote him exactly, he said: "There can be no dealer or jobber if there is no one to produce and sell." He maintains a large establishment where he deals in sacks, bottles, rubber, and metals of every description and quantity as well as rags and paper. Few businesses, if any, afford such a broad scope of science in de- With war-time prices still upon us, such stores as BULLOCKS, at 7th and Broadway, are not only time savers but also money savers. For the management of BULLOCKS is up-to-date in every way. Each man and woman on the job is interested in the firm, for they realize that a firm so firmly established can but swim at the top of the great commercial stream that bubbles through our country, and that it is an honor to be a member of such a business family. It is this pleasant condition of affairs that makes it a pleasure for shoppers at Christmas time at the great. BULLOCK DEPARTMENT STORE, where thousands of them wend their way at this season of the year to do their gift shopping. Yes, it is easy to shop at this store, where even elevator service completes a pleasant day's shopping, with salesladies and gentlemen who are alert in helping you to make a choice. MRS. STEARNS TELLS ASSOCIATION'S WORK. Well Known Woman Urges Better Understanding Between White And Colored Races. And Colored Races. Riverside, Dec. 10.—To uplift the colored men and women of this country by securing to them the full enjoyment of their rights as citizens; justice in all courts, and equality of opportunity everywhere." This is the purpose of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which was explained last night by Mrs. Charlotte L. P. Stearns of San Diego. Mrs. Stearns who spoke at the Congregational Church, has long been interested in the problems of the colored peoples, has made a thorough study of it for years and her task bore the conviction of careful investigation and knowledge. Mrs. Stearns spoke on the natural inheritance of the Ethiopians, of their life in their native lands, and the unfortunate servitude which engulfed them when they came to this country. It has taken three generations to partially emancipate the traditions of slavery, and in the south, the speaker asserted, many conditions which marked the slave days still prevail. "The interest of the Society," Mrs. Stearas said, "is nation-wide. The nation will not progress while it is hampered by the ignorance of the colored people. The white people do not want to fight the colored race. They do not want to provoke social hatred with it subsequent unrest. What is needed is a careful understanding between the two races. ```markdown ``` --- BULLOCK'S. termining values and qualities as this line does, and only a man of sound judgment as the thirteen years of his business career has proven him to be, can succeed. Mr. Reves has a lovely family, his wife who is a refined and highly cultured lady was Miss Senola Maxwell, prior to her marriage to Mr. Reves and at one time a teacher in the City Schools. They have two children—Henry Jr., and Jarvis Maxwell, who is but six weeks old. Mr. Reves is a prominent factor in the life and achievements of the Negro citizenry of Los Angeles, being a member of the M. E. Church, 8th and San Julian Sts., and is also President of the Progressive Business League. Few men equal the jurk magnate in judgment and his keen sense for fair dealings goes to prove that he believes, "the laborer is worthy of his hire," and hence he is well posted on the market quotations and pays the full marginal price for his wares. Ho is yet this side of forty years of age and informed the Correspondent that if good health should still continue to be his good fortune he desired to accomplish greater efforts whereby he could offer a larger amount of employment to our people that are working for him. A man thus equipped is worthy indeed of emulation along the lines of business effort, it is so seldom that our successful business men show the keen interest in the success of others, it is indeed refreshing to take notice of the efforts which Mr. Reeves has put forth on behalf of the promotion of business in this section. Already his efforts have brought forth gratifying results and a new impetus is manifest along business lines. The Eagle appreciates the successful business men of the race and we indeed glorify them, when, after succeeding they do not hesitate to step out and assist others to scale the heights of success in business and a cooperative working program." Mrs. Stearns' talk was largely devoted to the recounting of personal experiences among the Negroes. Her work among them, she said, had convinced her that between Negroes and white people who have had the same advantages, the Negroes will reflect a more genuine courtesy than their white brothers. After her talk Mrs. Stearns conducted a question box, in which perplexing problems were cleared thru ner explanations. Mayor Horace Porter presided during the evening, introducing the speaker and pointing out the necessity of harmonious understanding between the colored and white races.—Riverside Enterprise. THE KIDDIES XMAS FESTIVAL Abbot Kinney to Entertain 5000 Children at Venice. A magnificent, revolving electrically illuminated Xmas tree loaded with thousands of wonderful gifts, will stand in the center of the Venice pavilion for the kiddies of Southern California. Mr. Kinney extends a cordial invitation to each and every youngster to join with him in spending Xmas afternoon at a merry festival that will begin at 2 o'clock and last until 5 o'clock. There will be dancing, pretty gifts on the spot numbers, a Xmas play introducing some of the cleverest of the juvenile dancers in the west, special features by the Lew Lewis orchestra and the event of the day "The Grand March" around the tree where each and every kiddie will receive his or her Xmas gift. For one who has not attended the festivities at the Venice pavilion on Christmas afternoon and seen thousands of children in their happiest hours, at play, it has been a wonderful treat missed. The beautiful ballroom with its thousands of youngsters in gala holiday attire rivals any picture that you may conjure of fairies. Venice offers an all-day program for its visitors. Free turkeys will be distributed on the band plaza, afternoon and evening concerts by the Venice of America band with Ferullo directing. Yuletide ball at the dance pavilion, swimming races by the best swimmers in the southland and fireworks at night, complete a varied program of unlimited interest. Pacific Electric cars will provide service from all points. Rev. S. W. Procks pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church made a business trip to the Imperial Valley this week. Mr. Geo B. Gordon and his cousin James Gordon were visitors in the city from Riverside, last week. SFLP-GOVERNMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES By Maximo M. Kalaw, Secretary of the Pidilpine Mission Washington, Nov. — The writer at a Lake Mohonk conference heard the argument that the minute the Filipinos were given political freedom the public improvements so magnificently built by American officials would be neglected, and that grass would begin to grow on the splendid roads and streets of the Islands. At the end of 1914 there were only 2,317.6 kilometers of first-class road maintained by the caninero (cantennier) system. The length was nearly doubled at the end of 1918, there being over 4,023.4 kilometers of first-class road maintained (see Report of Bureau of Public Works for 1918). At the time of Governor General Forbes, whose main boast was his achievement in public works, the government rarely spent over 3,000,000 pesos a year. The appropriation for 1919 for public works alone is 17,000,000 pesos. The artesian wells which are proving such wonderful health measures for the people of the Philippines have also increased in number. The Philippine government has successfully followed a policy of nationalizing and controlling industries when the public welfare demanded such a step. It bought over the Manila Railroad Company, enlarged its activities, and made it a much more efficient means of transportation. It is now (1948) operated with a million dollar profit every year. A law has recently passed to extend its lines so that it will only be a question of time when the big Island of Luzon will be crossed by railroad from one end to the other. Several years ago the government established a Sugar Central Board to further the development of sugar centrals in the Islands. It should be remembered that principal source of wealth of Cuba and Hawaii is the sugar-cane. The last few years have seen a tremendous growth of this industry, and it will only be a question of years when the Phillipines will surpass Hawaii in the production of sugar. Since 1913 in the Island of Negroes alone over 30,000,00 pesos have been invested in sugar mills or centrals, as they are colled in the Philippines. In the development of resources which are untouched by private enterprise the Philippine government has taken the ead. In order to supply the need for coal, the price of which increased tremendously during the war, the National Coal Company has been established with the government as the chief stockholder. In order to aid more effectively the general economic development of the country; to suppress profiteering, and to aid and foster all legitimate business enterprises, a National Development Company has been organized, capitalized at 50,000,000 pesos. The government control of charities must also be mentioned. The public Welfare Board has been organized to supervise and organize governmental aids to charity and to apportion government funds to the needy charitable institutions. The government maintains special institutions for the deaf and blind in Manila. There are orphanages and reformatories for young offenders, and a juvenile court will soon be established if the bill recently introduced should become law. The philippine Health Service, now under a Filipino chief, has established free dispensaries in every part of the Philippines where poor people can receive free treatment. There is a leper colony established at Cullion where lepers are treated and from which several of them have already left after it was successfully demonstrated that they were completely curred. There is no reason why the Filipino people, under the present or any oth- er government, will not be able to continue the economic development of the country, opening their doors to all foreign investment. There is probably no other country in the Orient which welcomes foreign capital more than the Philippines. This is more true in the case of American capital. In fact, the Philippines do not consider American capital foreign All sorts of facilities are given to Americans who desire to do business in the Philippines. There is nothing in the laws of the Island that is antagonistic to American capital, and the attention of the people towards it cannot be more pleasant and favorable. Scores of great American corporations are doing business in the Islands, while millions of American money find its way into the capitalization of companies incorporated under the laws of the Islands. There is a place for everybody in the Philippines. The Philippines realize that American brains, capital and initiative constitute a great factor in the development of their resources and in placing the Philippines on the high road to prosperity and wealth.

The Sunday School was very interesting last Sunday morning and the children were greatly inspired by the large attendance. The morning message was delivered by Rev. J. T. C. Taylor former pastor of the First A. M. E. Church of Passadena. He spoke from Isaiah 54: 17. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and the righeousness is of me saith the Lord. Holy Communion was administered both morning and evening. Miss Minnie M Albritton was the solist of the morning. She gave to the congregation a divine message through her sweet lyric Soprano voice. In the evening our pastor occupied the pulpit. He spoke from Malachi 4:1. For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, safthe Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. As our pastor quoted this text, he was filled with the holy ghost; great was the rejoicing and the very atmosphere was permeated with the spirit of Christ. Three people united with the Church. The Choir under the direction of Mr. J. B. Jones, rendered very effective music. Mr. Jones, former director of one of the largest Choirs of Dallas, Texas, has accepted the position as Chorister of this church. The members of the Choir are elated with Mr. Jones and know they will be greatly benefitted by his instruction. Members of this church on the sick ist are Sisters Mary Wrenn, Mattie Williams, Bird, Coleman of Pasadena and Bro. Green. Total collection $168.26. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH—1406 Newton St. Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor. Sunday was another great day at this fast growing, progressive church. The pastor preached two forceful, practical and spiritual sermons. At the close of the morning service there were three accessions to the membership of the church. A large number of the members of the church were in attendance and partook of the sacrament of the Lord's supper. The Choir of this church was again at its best and thrilled the hearts of the worshippers with their gospel in song. The coming Sunda pyromes to be one of unusual interest and enjoyment. Preaching at the regular morning service. At night the Choir will render a special program of soles, duetts, and anthems. There will be a short sermon also. When this Cohir renders a program there is always something in store worth hearing. Services will begin at seven o'clock in the evening. The meetings of the Epworth League are full of interest and enthusiasm. The League meets every Sunday evening at five-thirty o'clock. Strangers and visitors are always welcome. Come where the old time fire is burning. ST. PAUL BAPSTET INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH— At the close of the Executive Board of the Westerfin Baptist Association came Rev. R. A. Whittaker of Tulsa, Oklahoma to assist "Pastor Holt" in a campaign for souls. This meeting opened Wednesday night of last week and had reached a high pitch on Sunday when a large audience filled a greater part of St. Paul's spacious Auditorium. Rev. Whittaker after electrifying the Sunday School with a message worth while, came to the pulpit at eleven a. m. and chose for a subject: "The Shepherd's Song," Psalm 23. This great Gospel Preacher and philosophical reasoner held the congregation in touch with the "Spiritual battery" for one hour, and while shouts and tears told of the presence of the Holy Ghost this man of God acquitted himself worthy of his calling. Sunday night brought another great crowd which alike was electrified by an able sermon from the Subject: "A man whom God can trust," text, Job 1:4-6. Many young men came forward expressing their desire to become Christians. New passengers were taken on at each ser- THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Rev. Whittaker will be with us for a short while only and you will do well to hear him. The Executive Board was a success and "Moderator Holt" is all smiles, having layed plans for the Associational Year. Come to St. Paul and get into the "Vibration" for "God is in Zion." Services each night; Saturday included. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH— 740 Maple Avenue! Our Sunday School was well attended last Sunday. The Lesson was heartily taken up and discussed. The chief point made evident was that of entering into Gethsamane with The Christ. In the hour of the Lord's sorest trial the Disciples failed Him. We on our part must be loyal to Him at all times, but especially in the time of trial. The 11 o'clock service was very helpful. The Church had opportunity for Testimony, and very many took part much to the delight and edification of all. At the close one joined the Church. At night the Lord's Supper was observed after the pastor had spoken on the last hours of The Master. One came forward and united with The Church at the close. The Young People held a most inspiring service at the regular hour. We are indeed glad to welcome home Mrs. Pauline Hubert, President of The Missionary Society and Mrs. Busby one of the members of our Choir. We trust their long rest and change has given them insentive for greater service for The Master. Come out early on Snuday and come praying for a blessing. The Sunday School at 9.30 a.m. was well attended. Much good is being done in this department. The Superintendent, and teachers are striving to make this the greater Zion of the future. The pastor's text Sunday morning was "Watch one hour." Service was well attended and all present were inspired. Three persons were added to the Church during the day. Special sacred concert will be given this Sunday evening featuring Miss Minnie Albright—Come early to get a good seat. WARD CHAPEL, A. M. E. CHURCH 1354 Channing Street Rev. J. H. Green, Minister. 9.30 a. m., Sunday School, E. A. Daniel, Supt.; 11.00 a. m., Preaching; 6.20 p. m., Allen C. E. League; 7.30 p. m., Frehacing; 2 p. m. Monday, W. M. M. Society; 8 p. m. Monday, M. and W. P. Club; 7.30 p. m. Wednesday, Prayer and Class Meeting. Last Sunday was Communion Day. Our Minister delivered quite an inspiring message from St. Luke 22: 19. Subject: "Remember." At the evening service, Romans 8:9, Subject, "The image of Christ." The services were quite interesting, and we were made to say in the language of the Apostle, "Did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way." Sunday 11 a.m. he will speak from St. Luke 10:42--But one thing is needful; Subject, "Rightful Choice." We extend a standing invitation for Saints and Sinners. We'll welcome you, Come! MACOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGA- TIONAL CHURCH— "Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it," (Eph. 5:25) was the text used by the Pastor on last Sunday morning as he spoke to the appreciative audience assembled on: "The Church in the World." At the evening service the subject was: "The Unspeakable Gift." Many members and friends partook of The Lord's Supper which was administered at both services. There was one accession to the membership at the morning service. The Evry Member Canvass which was conducted in the afternoon was the most successful in the history of the Church. The remarkable way in which the people subscribed to our budget for 1920 bespeaks to us the fact that the Church of Jesus Christ is making its way in the world and Does influence men's lives for good. Let God be praised. Services this Sunday, December 14th as follows: Sunday School, 9.45 a.m.; Preaching 11.15 a.m. m. and 7.30 p. m. Christian Endeavor, 6.30 p. m. Strangers especially welcomed to all services. . . WESLEY M. E. CHURCH— Eighth and San Julian Sts. Large congregations worshipped at Wesley last Sunday. The pastor's morning subject was "Redeemed by Blood." His evening subject was "God's Little Flock." Both of these sermons were very helpful land comforting. Three persons joined the Church during the day. Our offerings were never better in the history of the Church. They have run over $100.00 for all purposes every Sunday for the last two months. This Sunday will be a great day. You will miss a great treat if you fail to hear the pastor's sermon, Sunday morning on "Loved, Lossed, Lifted." Rev. S. B. Danley of Pasadena will preach the evening sermon. Visitors and strangers always welcome. Wesley is the homelike Church. Come and see. At the meeting of the Official Board we decided to ask all of our members and friends to put aside a Free-Will Offering will be taken on Christmas Sunday, December 25th. Come and worship with us.

Visitors and strangers always welcome. Last Sabbath's services were unusually impressive, a Saxaphone being added to the musical instruments of the Choir has increased the charm of the music. An impressive solo by Mrs. J. E. McCorkle was rendered which helped to prepare the people for the message that was delivered on "Family Religion" which really gripped the people and left them with the idea of the one great need ringing in their souls. The services of the Corner Stone relaying will be held on the Third Sunday, December 21st. The International Order of Twelve will have charge of the services. It is expected that one thousand people will wit- ness the ceremony. This order alone commands quite a great number, having nine organizations in this city. BOYLE HEIGHTS A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Rev. J. W. D. Henry, Pastor. Last Sunday's service was very impressive. The Sunday School was largely attended the Superintendent and tetachers were in their places long before the hour appointed the explanations upon the lesson given by the pastor and teachers burned upon our hearts. Three new scholars were added to the School. The pastor preached a great sermon at eleven n. m. to a very good crowd; subject: "An unfailing friend." Every heart was touched; the Holy Ghost truly fell upon us. At six-thirty p. m. the young and the old assembled for an hour-an a half in discussion of topic. The pastor preached another burning sermon at seven-thirty p. m. to an appreciative audience. MACEDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH— Watts, California The past first Sunday was a day of rejoicing in the Spirit as usual. Our.Sunday School lesson taught us to "Watch as well as pray," lest we enter into temptation. A beautiful lesson to us is that we may not fall asleep at our post of duty as did Peter, James and John, but be wide-awake Christians, obey the Master and lead others into the fold. At eleven o'clock service Rev. Fleming preached a highly spiritual and up- Our B. Y. P. U. is in fine condition, progressing rapidly, spiritually and in membership. Our testimonial meeting at the evening service is always a spiritual feast, especially this Sunday, being the last Communion service in the year. Six of God's childrens were given the right hand of fellowship into this church, this being a part of the members taken in for the month.

The church has been methodically organized and every department from the (shers Board with Mr. Earl Teems as Chairman to, the Cradle Roll with Mrs. L. G.

Dr. A. M. Ward, pastor of the 1st Church will preach for us at 3 o'clock p.m. next Sunday, December 14th. All are cordially invited. When out of chaos earth was hurled And God's great mandate spread: When Hh made the races to fill the world. Yellow, white and red. There was one black, and the other three. Seeing him asked to know Whence from wat darkness cometh he And wither doth he go? Lieut Eugene Lucas, a hero in the Vosges, Muse, Argonne and Marbache sectors, speaks again this week for his comrades telling us of their deeds of valor. We read in a recent edition of the rescue of a wounded man, by a soldier of the "Red Hand" division—No name was given, but if there is a soldier of that division in the city will he kindly phone this office? SCOUTS Securs were one of the most important arms of the service and when I say arms I mean that they were treated as a unit having their own commander and were drilled and trained and even messed as a distinct unit. This was done to work up an "Esprit De Corps." Men who were picked for this branch were picked for intelligence, physique, braveness; which was to play such an important part under trying circumstances. These men while forming a separate unit were in army parlance "Detached for special duty" and were supposed to be men chosen by company commanders as men being possessed of the above requisites. But rarely was this a fact as all company commanders were reluctant to weaken their respective commands by giving or rather lending their best men and consequently very few men that were suited for such duty were given the chance in this important branch of the service. Yet some few were accorded the opportunity to make good in this service. Now the duties of the Scouts were those of prime importance as it was they who kept in contact with the Germans; men who were the first to know the position of the enemy, approximate their strength, locate the machine gun implementes, find out all the information that was so essential to the higher post commands. Naturally you can see men were to be chosen who were apt and who could acquire and absorb the training. Very few of these men were rewarded with the distinguished service medal or Crox De Guerre excepting those who were brigaded with the French Division and I could name some few who to my personal knowledge were entitled to at least mentions in orders, which while not equal to the L B G or C de G. were somewhat of an incentive to inspire one officer of my company, while in St. Die.Vosges, namely First Lieut Jack Leanord of Boston and mentioned in orders for the first capture of German prisoners. This was during the month of August, 1915. Sgt. Podson of Washington, D. C., was one whom I would name as being worthy of a D. S. C. or C. de G. He was brave beyond any doubt; Corp. Jesse Outlaw of Co. A, 368th Inf. Raymond Tyler (Corp.) of the same; and men whose names I can't recall at the present time; were to my mind men who I would recommend for distinguished honors. Of our own officers, Lieut. Jesse Kimbrough was Scout Officer of his battalion and none were braver; none who showed mere courage or were more entitled to honors than he and every oversea man will say the same. If scouts' doings have to be a bear—ask our Lieut. Kimbrough—"He Knows." Girls! Are you interested in the Crisis, "History of the Negro in the Revolution of 1914-1918?"

Dear Editress: I am a young woman of good character, fair education and good looks, but I have never been able to attract the attention of young men.

A Worker is Very Hearful in Approval of Work of Negro Women. New York, Nov. 6 — In reporting the work of the colored work committee at the final meeting of the War Work Council of the Young Women's Christian Association, held recently at national headquarters, 600 Lexington Avenue, Miss Eva Bowles was heartily applauded when she declared that the war gave opportunity for colored women to prove their ability for leadership, and that she had her chance and made good, and that the time has passed for white leadership for colored people. Miss Bowles during her report said: "As we report our achievements we find ourselves facing the future that will test all of our powers and conserve the work already launched, the problem of promotion is our immediate task. All the problems that faced any girl in war times were ours, together with the more serious problems of race relationship and understanding. "We have ministered to our problem from three outsanding ends. 1. The immediate one of the hostess houses in camps which was so acute and the most picturesque of war time activities. 2. The colored girl as she entered the industrial field. 2. In communities affected by camps and cantonments where abnormal conditions affected the life of the girl, here were organized club and recreation tents. "Today this committee with the other committees of the national board is facing the great problem of reconstruction. The giant task that lies ahead now that the world has been raved for democracy is to make democracy safe. The colored woman leaders stand ready to do their part. The war has given opportunity for the colored woman to prove her ability for leadership; she had the chance and she made good. "With all the strength of having suffered she will be able through the patience born of suffering to lead the women and girls whom only she can lead. The time has passed for white leadership for colored people. As white and colored women we must understand each other; we must think and act, plan together, for upon all of us rests the responsibility of the girlhood of all nations."

She says that in her three years in France she observed the aston THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE AFUE McDOWELL, ATTORNEY AND COUNSELLOR-AT-LAW NOTARY Has just returned from Military Service in the U. S.

The sale of tickets up to this point indicates that we are going to have a good audience at our Lone Star All-Star Song Recital on Monday night, December 15th at the Central Y. M. C. A. Auditorium. A great program is arranged for the occasion including such talent as Mrs. Norwood, who recently appeared successfully at the First A. M. E. Church in recital; Jas. Warren, a youth of no main ability and popularity as a violinist; Mr. Jones, Earitone, who is attracting much attention as a new-coming; A Glee Club that will second to none in the city; Bilbrew's Harmony Four with the newest of the new and the sweetest of the old; and if you haven't heard Mrs. Bilbrew recite from Dunbar you haven't California's best. These are some of the features of that occasion. Besides this we have got to make this affair a success at all costs for the sake of the boys and even other interests. Bible Class.

The semi-annual meeting of the League held at the Forum was a great big success. The public responded to the call and a good audience was on hand. After adjournment quite a few persons voluntarily stated that they would help finance any legitimate business that might be attempted. The meeting had a good effect, and much good will doubtless emanate from it.

Do not overlook the advertisers who appreciate your patronage, and do not let that fact go unsaid, as indicated by the splendid offerings set forth in this publication. The Republican chieftains gathered at Washington, D. C. to get in motion the mighty movement which will result in unhorsing the present one sided and narrow-minded administration which is now in charge of affairs of Government at Washington. The Eagle is swamped this week with Advertising matter and all from our very own race business concerns too. The various firms realize that to reach the people The Eagle is the one best bet. And now the war clouds have again passed by and we will again call attention to the fact that Georgia, Texas and Mississippi are mobbing, lynching and burning human beings as usual; and still "Nero fiddles while Rome burns." To our mind dastardly crimes, such as are in vogue in the Southern section of this country, and allowed to go on without comment from our President, are worse than any crime committed on American citizens abroad. The Eagle has turned down several offers of using itself for the purpose of accenuating the sale of books, etc. We do not believe such is the province of a real newspaper and we prefer to rise or fall on our very own merit. Too many irons in the fire, some of them are bound to burn;" is an old adage, but true, show us a man or woman who attempts to fill too many places and we will show to you a person who will utterly fail to fill any one of the places with aptitude and credit. We opine that the colored voters of this country will be as wide awake along political lines as they are along other lines, and something tangible in the way of recognition must come forth for this loyal element of the G. O. P. The fact that Gov. Stephens was renominated by their vote; he has absolutely withheld from them any recognition even to the remotest degree. Some day this is going to rise and stare somebody in the face. We will not hesitate to give honor where the same is due, at Bogalusa, Louisiana, the Union men of the white race stood up with a grim determination for their dark-hued brothers, and should all Unions do the right thing by this people, all would be well. It seems as though the democrats who are so incensed at the reputed corruption of the ballot in Michigan and who are behind the inquiry as to the fraudulent election of Senator Newberry from that State, will get their belly full of investigation before they are through with it, especially so if Senator Moses' resolution passes, calling for the investigation of election in the Southern States, where the suffrage of American citizens are willfully and continually denied. "THE NEGRO PRESS" In these perilous times of change when the old order of granny is fighting against the advance of democratic ideas Negro press can be of im- ple. Policies and principle should take definite shape, and we should resolve somewhat after this fashion: We are on the side of law and order where law and order is administered fearlessly without fear and without discrimination. We shall not stifle the truth, nor suppress it, nor distort it, believing that pitileless publicity is the greatest foe to hidden wrongdoing, and that discontent with things that are wrong and unjust and unfair and cruel is divine, indicating progress and advancement. We shall remain unbought by money or fair words or fear, and shall throw the full light of truth upon the things that are undemocratic and un-American, knowing that by so doing we serve best the nation of which we are a part. We shall print the news—all the news, from every angle and with all the breadth and fair-mindedness we possess and shall interpret it, using all the wisdom and knowledge at our command. We shall not besmirch our honor with the sin of silence, becoming either coward, opportunist or knave. We shall not sell out and we shall not betray, but shall hew to the line of right as God gives us to see the right. And we shall be fearless—the times demand it, the people need it, and conscience will accept naught else. —Monitor. SERMONETTE (By Miss Ellen Consuelo Prowd) "GIVING." There are men and women today who hardly will give to churches, Missionary work or the poor, but instead will give presents to those who can give to them in return. Do you ever get a real blessing out of that? To my mind the answer would be NC! If we all had the right minds and our lives were spirit-filled we would do and think differently. Recall to your minds young men and women the money you spend daily in buying dance tickets, lottery tickets and all manner of useless things, which tend instead of drawing your soul to higher ideals, down to perdition. This should be each one's motto: "It is more blessed to give than to receive," and if each of us were only to follow that motto, there would be more shining stars in our crowns. One today may test his own character by asking the question, "If Jesus knew me personally, what would be his estimate of me? Would He think me Noble? Would He think me good? Would He think me true? Not only to myself but to those around me?" As we grow older our minds stretch to include those about us until, if we become like Christ, our minds are as big as the world. The minister's eyes swept with intense searching the apathetic faces of his stylish, worldly congregation. He had made an impassioned appeal for help in the support of a little mission church among the mountains—a section where the rough men and women knew scarcely anything of God and of the religion of Christ. He had hoped to inspire the people with the spirit of giving, to make them feel that it was a sweet, blessed privilege, and—he failed. A sense of desolation crept over him; "God help me," his lips murmured, mutely. He could not see the bent figure of little crippled Maggie in the rear of the Church—a figure which was trembling under the fire of his appeal. "Lord Jesus," the little one was saying brokenly, "I ain't got nothin' ter give; I want the people in the mountains to hear 'bout my sinier. O Lord, I ain't got nothin' ter—" What was it that made the child catch her breath as though a cold hand had taken hold of her heart? "Yes, you have, Maggie," whispered a voice from somewhere; "you've got crutch that was given ter you, an' is worth a lot of shinin' dollars. You kin give up your best friend' what helps you ter git into the park where the birds sing, an' takes you ter preachin' an' makes your life happy." "Oh, no, Lord," sobbed the child, choking and shivering. "Yes, yes, I will; He gave up more'n that for me." Blindly she extended the polished crutch, and placed it in the hands of the deacon who was taking up the scanty collection. For a moment the man was puzzled, then, comprehending her meaning, he carried her crutch to the front of the church, and laid it on the table in front of the pulpit. The minister stepped down from the rostrum and held up the crutch with shaking hands. The sublimity of the renunciation unnerved him so that he could not speak for a moment. "Do you see it, my people?" he faltered at last; "little crippled Maggie's WOULD YOU LIKE THIS FOR A HOME? 6 large rooms, south front, sunny living room, large dining room, fireplace, clothes closet, large kitchen, hot water heater, large pantry, rear screen porch with two laundry tubs, two toilets, cement floor in basement, 3 bed rooms, spacious closet in each, large plate glass wall mirror, bath rooms convenient to all bed rooms, gas and electricity throughout the place.

She has given it, and you—" There was a moment of silence. The people flushed and moved restlessly in their cushioned pews. "Does anyone want to contribute to the Mission cause, the amount of money this crutch would bring, and give it back to the child who is helpless without it?" the minister asked gravely. "Fifty Dollars" came in husky tones from the banker; "Seventy-five;" "One Hundred;" and so the subscribing went on, until papers equivalent to six hundred dollars, were lightly piled over the crutch on the table. "Ah, you have found your hearts—thank God! Let us receive the benediction," almost whispered the minitser as he suddenly extended his hands, which were trembling with emotion Little Maggie, absorbed in the magnitude of her offering and the love which prompted it, comprehended nothing that had taken place. She had no thought of the future, of how she would hear the birdies sing, of how she would be able to see and smell the flowers, of how she would be able to see her playmats, of how she would reach her humble home, or of the days in which she would sit helplessly in her chair as she had once done. Christ had demanded her al, and she had given it, with the blind faith of Abraham. She understood not better, when a woman's arm drew her into close embrace, and soft lips whispered into her ears.

Crumbly---RealEstate---Insurance---Notary Public---785 San Pedro Street To the average man, old 'Santa' comes but once a year, but around Young George's dug-out, he will make two trips, his first visit was last Tuesday night, when the referee gave a draw decision in the bout between Young George and George Shade. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Shade had the best of the fray and received a draw for his efforts. George found the goings putty rough, he hit Shade about two good punches but did no damage. Shade would only come back for more. It leaked out last night that Young George stated that he was off the Shade family for several years and maybe for life. The Shade boys won't be satisfied until Dave Shade takes on a few pounds and kick George's dog around. Chile Roselli. the pride of Spring street caused his followers to be drooping around, with a down-cast lock, singing the blues. Bob Benson one of Chile's strong backers is the alib, Kid. he found a dozen or more excuses to offer for the showing Chile made. In getting right down to facts Roselli was in good condition, but he met a different fighter when he took on Danny in their return engagement. The first round went to Chile by a shade after the first round was over, Watson Burms had Roselli's address when the second round started Edwards fought a different fight. From the start of the second round the fight was his, he got his straight left to working, which spelled defeat for Roselli. Danny took us back to the days of old, when he let up on so much foot and resorted to a straight left cat and right hook. In place of dancing all over the ring to get away from Chile's attacks, he stood his ground and blocked, which resembled the work of the old "Master" Joe Gans. Danny is improving every time he starts, if he could be matched with boys as near his equal as Chile it would be a safe bet, that he would be at the top, in a year's time. Edwards is a very small man, the boys near his weight are giving him a wide berth, forcing him to go out of his class to keep busy. Watson Burms is doing wonders with the little fellow, but with three great handicaps against him, which are very important to all fighters, the going is putty rough. Almost every boy Danny meets has these advantages—Weight, Reach and Size, and all this means everything. Joe Rooney lost to Sammy Gordon in four rounds, while Jimmy Pappas tooke care of Charley Jones. Eddie McKinna showed plenty of class in his bout with Fed Titus. The latter is a tough bird to fight, but McKinna took care of him and led all the way. Johnny Woodruff met Jack Duarte in the certain raiser. Woodruff was dropped twice early in the first round but he wouldn't stay down and disconcerted Duarte after the second knock down. Duarte started to missing and he soon found a soft spot and there he flopped for the count of ten. Duarte played true to the old saying: "If I hit you and you don't take the count, it's time to air." Behaves as Duarte cured. Young George and Steve Dalton can feel at ease for a few week's longer. Billy Shade is going north until after the hot days. Billy will leave Bro George to look after the wellers while he is away. BATTLING ORTEGA BEATS JACK JACK REEVES. Battling Ortego, the crack coast wetter weight won the decision over Jack Reeves in a four-round bout in Oakland last Thursday night. DRISCOLL RECEIVES BIG PURSE Jimmy Driscoll, the English Light- weight was recently presented with a purse of $8,500 by English admirers. Driscoll fought Ledoux and lost; realizing his day as a fighter is over, he announced his retirement. It was announced in Kansas City, Mo. that Otto Floto, who is associated with a number of oil men, has given an offer of $300,000 for the ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` 21 Dempsey-Carpentier battle. Floto stated that the contest would be staged in America over the 20-round route if the bout was secured. Y, M, C, A, AND POLICE POST- PONE GAME—DEC. 20TH The hard hitting all-star Police team will play the snappy "Y" squad Dec. 20th. The teams were to play last Saturday! the game was called off on account of wet grounds. The Police are playing championship ball and promise to get revenge. At present they are taking everything into camp that face them. The game will be played at the Police home lot. Slauson Playgrounds; take Watts car, get off at Slauson, walk one block West. HARVARD AND OREGON TO PLAY NEW YEAR'S GAME. The Tournament of Roses committee in Pasadena officially declared the University of Oregon football team the champions of the Pacific Coast, and selected it to play at Pasadena. New Year's day against Harvard. The committee secured a wire from Cambridge, Mass., announcing that Harvard has decided definitely to come West for the game. Harvard is a heavy favorite, she has one of the greatest teams in her history. The Oregon eleven is not the least bit disheartened, their one desire is to show the world that the Pacific Coast football compares favorably with that of the East. EASTERN FOOTBALL CLASSIC ENDS IN DRAW. Fifteen thousand people watched the Lincoln University (Penn.) Eleven and that Howard University (Washington, D. C.) struggle fiercely and desperately for the championship of Negro College foot ball at the National League Park, of Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day. Special trains came up from Washington and Baltimore conveying the H. U. squad and footers, special cars came in from Pittsburgh, Harrisburg and the West, and from Boston, New York and the East, while Atlantic City enthousiasst crowded all roads between the shore and Phillie with motor cars. The park was a sea of colors, the west section being covered with the H. U. blue and white and the East section overflowing and respiendent with the Lincoln orange and blue. White furs and chrysanthemums were prominent in the boxes and stands. The same was a struggle from beginning to end with Lincoln the favorite in every quarter but the Howard team held in the very tight places and saved itself by its "never say die" spirit from defeat at the hands of its oldest and greatest rival. The final score was NOTHING to NOTHING. The summary of the game follows: Penalities. Howard—10 yards Lincoln—15 yards; Downs: Howard—2 yards; Lincoln—22 yards; Yards gained by Rushing: Howard—54; Lincoln—386; Average distance of Punts. Howard—55 yards; Lincoln—44 yards: Referee, Wilkerson, Union, Empire, Matthews, Harvard; Head Linesman, Trigg, Syracuse; Time of halves 15 minutes. ATHLETICS ARE AT A STAND. STILL. What has come over the athletes in these parts? For a while things looked as if there would be plenty of action in the athletic line, for some time to come, everything started off with a big rush and it ended the same way. About the only thing we have in athletics now is baseball and tennis and a very little of these. It seems that the young men of this city are as backward as a crawfish unless someone take them by the hand and do the leading in everything They are staving clear of everything that is a help to the coming generation. "Push Cart" Steward, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. made a great effort to start something in the way of out-door athletics, but soon found out that it was impossible, so he is devoting his time to the younger class, which we all appreciate. One thing sure, if Steward continues we will yet see Los Angeles on the map in the Sport World. We are rattling our brain trying to figure out, just how that bunch of nine tennis sharks who left the city and briquet San Diego recently disported around the border city.—How did they pose as married, single or both? It's too deep for us. What was wrong with Henry Jones who is accused of knowing every cattle trail West of the Sierras and South of the Teachapain and being the best auto guider in town? Why did he lose his way and steer them on a wild goose chase and get tied up in Santa Anna? the one joint in the world they wanted most to dodge, and how did Littlefon McDuff and Billy Glenn duck the gang on the way back home? But get this, from a "pretty maiden" asking questions about Al Matthews, Rosco Hulsey and Chester Williams, but strangely this sweet-scented not writer seems mostly interested in que Al Matthews. We say pretty maiden because foxy Al has never yet been caught dangling to the arm of an unnightly Vampier, Q—Are Messars, Hulsey, Matthews, Philip Davis and Chester Williams married? What does Mr. Matthews do for a livelihood and how old is he?—Answer: Being married we consider our judgment fair; we have been out until the wee hours many a night with these gents, but never yet have we seen a rolling pin hickey reposing upon any of their domes; Uncle Sam, twice each month spreads Mr. Matthew's bread heavily with real butter for leisurely tossing a few eeters into a bag and reading other peo-ple's papers at the oval post office; dear Madam this is all we know or feel safe to admit about this bird, as to his age that's a secret, besides we are not good on ancient history, as old man Matthews was voting when heck was a pup and that poor dog fled of old age long ago. Say, what do you know about that Omega crowd? After christening their new course last Saturday with an out door dance, they raced up to Normandie Hall and schuffled around until a little husband crowded for midnight. They also awarded the championship of the Thanksgiving day scrap as follows: Fern Caldwell, Ladies Singles; Mrs. Henry Young and Eddie Harris. Mixed Doubles; Rosco Broyles. Men's Singles; all of Los Angeles County. Rosco Broyles is somewhat peeved over his newly-won laurels as Ballinger Kemp defaulted the final match and incidently blunted Broyles' sting. Lest We Forget—Let's have A Pacific Coast Champion, 1920; Men's and Women's, "San Francisco or bust," July, 1920. You will doubtless recall that Harold Prince stated last Fall that there was a swarm of raqueters down at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, who would enjoy a little entanglement with our best next Summer, so start now to getting your traps and pitfalls ready to "treat 'em ruff." These soldier boys are some e'tuff' customers and don't anybody tell you different. The Saburhan Tennis Club, that powerful body of promoter of the club-house project had a rousing meeting last Saturday night at that Progressive Business League Rooms. 12011 Central Avenue; their meeting nights are the first and third Saturday of each month; next meeting, December 20th. This is a real live athletic club proposition that we have been camoring for, so get behind the thing and shove it "over the top." we are simply going to have a regular structure with an assembly hall, billard parlor, warm water water punge, club dining room, gymnasium room, tennis and croquet courts, garage and auto accessories, etc. Better get in now folks.

IN THE CITY me out and give this PAGE EIGHT Two new Negro spirituals by Harry Burleigh were introduced by Royal Dadmun, concert baritone at his recent New York recital. They were "Hard Trials" and "He's jus' de same today." The critics say that these new spirituals are among the best that Mr. Burleigh has done and they were so effectively rendred that Mr. Dadmun was obliged to respond to an encore. He then gave, "Oh Peter, go ring-a dem bells." The John Church Company has announced the publication of five new songs by Nathaniel Dett. Three of these are spirituals and the remaining two are Art Songs for high-voices Mr. Dett is rapidly becoming one of the leading composers of the race and being still a young man, we may expect brilliant results from his future development The Troy Voca Society of Troy, New York scored a success recently with Will Marion Cook's "Swing Along" which was also heard here on the programs of the "American Syncopated Orchestra." Other organizations throughout the country are using the products of Negro composers and this shows that the musical world is awakening to the possibilities of the music made by Negroes. An idea of the thoroughness of musical education in France is vividly shown in the recent examination at the Conservatoire for the annual Prize Rome. The winner of this prize is given two years free instruction and travel in Italy. The requirements are that the competitors must go into seclusion for six weeks and remain under heavy guard the whole period of this time. At the end of this period each one must have a complete musical work to hand the judges. This year it was a Cantata and the prize was awarded to Marc Delmas. There were several other prizes of lesser value. Possibly if some of our American Institutions were governed along similar lines there would be fewer compositions of poor musical worth and more of merit. The Rev. W. D. Carter filled his pulpit last Sunday and brought to the people of Mt. Zion Baptist Church a wonderful message. The G. U. O. of O. F. met Tuesday night. December 2nd at their regular meeting place, Harmony Hall and are much enthused over efforts to get Grand Lodge services through California. Miss Zula C. Richardson the great dramatic reader displayed ability in execution in her Recital given at the Mt. Zilon Baptist Church, Thursday evening, December 4th. Miss Richardson was assisted by Mrs. McCay of Tacoma. Wash., who is talented as a Soprano Solist. Among her selections was "If Mother had not married Daddy, Daddy might have married me," while Miss Richardson recited the "Kaiser's Prayer;" "The Black Man's Burden" and several others. Coming! Mr. George Browne, recently from South Africa, will lecture in the hear future at the A. M. E. Church, 14th Avenue, on the "Ethiopian movements in Africa." The Seattleites would soon become accustomed to freezing weather but for the fact that their fuel bins are running low, while on the eve of a coal famine. That Claude Ellison at 232) E. Madison St., bears watching during the holiday, as he is likely to slip off to Yakima and bring back a better half. Mr. M. P. Davis is a new live wire around in the activities of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church and Sunday School, recently contributed a very brief and interesting paper on the late life of Booker T. Washington, during the Washington memorial at that Church. Mr. Davis is a student of the Tuskegee Institute and a carpenter of note. That unique Barber Shop of Bud Murray's at 12th and Jackson is where you get real service. You certainly have to go several thousand miles to find a grocery equal to the Alhambra. The Whangdoodle entertainers are still furnishing that sweet music for all occasions. They furnished music for Louie Cosler's, Sunday night, December 7th. It was swell. That pool and billard hall-run by Boyd and Williams is some place. "Hines's Place" is doing "Land Office" business on 3rd Avenue and Washington. Old man Norman Moore; 1928 Mer- more than five miles long. The thermometer in Seattle must have been knocked down with a sledge hammer, for it just won't rise. This cold spell seems to make Puget Sound drink folks. The Chicago Ice Cream Company which was recently purchased by a body of Negro business men, and incorporated into a stock company capitalized at $10,000 will throw open its doors to the general public on next Monday evening, December 15th, at its new location, 1809 Central Ave. Each and everyone is invited to inspect same and accept the hospitality of the firm in this new movement to place the race in possession of its own manufacturing enterprises. The old site will be given over entirely to strictly manufacturing, and the above address will be its down town office and store. All orders for Ice Cream deliveries will be received, either by phone or call, after next Monday at its down town address. At a later date, a Grand Official Opening will be held, at which a meritous program will be carried out befitting the movement. Join in the crowd on next Monday night. IN RELIGIOSO Miss Minnie Albrinton will appear in Sacred Song Recital, Sunday evening, December 14, at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 3rd and Traction Avenue. A special treat to her many friends for many a year. Miss Albrinton is superior in Sacred music—she touches the heart. Come early for a seat—Program to begin at 7.30 o'clock sharp.

A large number of stock- holders spells absolute success. INCORPORATED under the laws of the State of Illinois as an OLD LINE LEGAL RESERVE Insurance Company. IT proposes to issue policies and transact business along the same plans as the New York Life, Illinois Life, Metropolitan and all other Stand- ard Life Insurance Companies. WE call your particular attention to the fact that OLD LINE LEGAL RE- SERVE STOCK COMPANIES are considered the safest, soundest and most substantial Standard Life Insurance Companies in the world. 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 co-operate, we can never hope to be a power as a Race of people. WE must begin investing our money in legitimate race enterprises of all kinds, and remember, that no matter what our shortcomings 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. 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 criticising 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. 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, protecting to thousands of homes and help to educate thousands of our children. THE success of Standard Life of Atlanta, Georgia, and the North Carolina Mutual of Durham, North Carolina, has proven that our people are capable of managing the affairs of large financial institutions of this kind. Without any obligation on my part, will thank you to send me further particulars relative to securing stock in your company. 9 The only race establishment on the Pacific Coast where you may be fitted up in anything made from HAIR and secure the most fastidious costume for Masquerade Balls, Tacky Parties, or Colonial Dances. 952-54 Central Avenue Phone Pico 1698 Mme.
