ESTABLISHED 1870 LEADING RACE JOURNA' THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 NEGROES TO PAY MORE FOR MANHOOD Clubs and Cliques Constantly Holding Meetings Under Different Leagues and Club Names to Agree on the Distribution of Pie. Big Bubbles Will Burst—But Too Many Bubbles A Nuisance. Four weeks ago a committee of leading Negroes met in Washington D.C. to discuss the political complexion of the Negro. They came from Georgia, Tennessee, N.Y., and in fact all over. Wined and dined and waxed fat on the oratory of their own and went home. Now on the 11th and 12th of February, they meet again under the liberal name of Lincoln League in Chicago for the purpose of considering "Political parties and the Colored American." "The Government and the Colored American soldier." Do we favor cutting down representation of the disfranchising states? If so, when? If not Why not? "The American Federation of Labor and the Colored worker." Can the Colored railroad worker hold what he has got when the railroads are returned to private ownership? If not, then what about that fact? How can he best get the news that the Jim crow car is eating away the heart of the American Nation? Is lynching to be the standard of law and order in the United States? If not who will stop it; how and when? Realizing that this is an age of organization and federation and that to consider these things that are so suited to he future welfare of the American Negro is highly in order and meets the approbation of every loyal and true Negro, is highly appreciated. But for years we have had National Committees meeting here and there discussing the same old time worn questions and never has the Race received any benefit from them. The only inspiration that helped to renew them with fresh vigor was that new blood added to the Committee. These Committees that meets ever so often as he program of the year might deem it profitable, always have an interesting program planned, and devoutly herald themselves before the world to represent the 14 millions of Negroes of the United States. They always fail to adhere to the strict furtherance of the program advertised and if this esteemed organization shows such coalescence, it will be the first time a "tailored" convention in a campaign year ever did so. Politicians fostering the control of the Negroes influence always find some willing barrier to carry the banner which advertises in behalf of his motives. I admit that it pays to advertise, but the stock of common destinies have always come forward, lacking a challenger after such tirades have been fraught upon our people. I like resolutions-conventional leagues only meet to express the idea and then, like the fillies waste their perfume on the desert air. Hence it is not strange that this bubble should take to a National formation instead of being birthed in the divers States where sovereignty is supreme within its boundary, but like a monstrous pillar it comes forth to form a hiding place for the selected few that fosters compromises on their less fortunate brother. It is time to stop sanctioning patriotism with the bible in one hand and hat in the other but let us sanction it with MANHOOD. Go with our heads up and look for a brighter day instead of holding conventions for the direct-purpose of singing the blues. In other words let us be MEN. WASH DAY AND NO SOAP Question of Agency Brown Bros. Scored. Anderson Majors, represented by Attorney H. E. Macbeth secured a judgment in Judge Forbes court on Wednesday for $350.00 and costs against Dr. W. B. Wood, of 21st and Central Avenue. This particular page was a remarkable one, as it involved a fine point of Agency, although Dr. Wood did not receive a coin of the money in question the Judgment was renured against him for this amount. The Brown Brothers of Oak and Central were the most notorious the money, they had the Agency from Dr. Wooo. Judge Farbes of装箱 his decision took occasion to appreciate the action of Brown Ames and remarked that they should be in the penitentiary. GREAT NOOK SELLING FOR THE SANTA CLINDA VALLEY Biggest Ploughing Contest in the History of the Peninsula. Engineer Complete Survey. Santa Clara, Lower Cal., Mexico. Jan. 15.—The greatest hit killing in the history of the northern part of the peninsula is now under way in the Santa Clara Valley. Mr. J. N. Littlejohn started the pork carnival with the announcement that in the next three weeks one hundred, and fifty hogs will be put into hams and bacon, hoghead cheese, chitterling, lard and crackling as well as pork sausage. Great eats are ahead for all of the lovers of pork'in the Santa Clara Valley. Arrangements have been made for the sale of hundreds of pounds of fresh pork from Santa Clara Valley to the Mexican conolists in Las Parmas Valley, twelve miles north of ploughing contest now going on in the Santa Clara Valley declare that the Santa Clara outfit has broken all Lower California ploughing records. While Mr. Eugene Roberts is in the lead with Mr. Dewey Massey close second. During the past week Dewey Massey's father, R. M. Massey, in spite of his age has made such a dash upward in his ploughing record that not many will be surprised if the Senior Massey comes off with first or second honors at the close of the contest on February 15th. The rains in this section have been ideal and abumper crop is predicted on all ends. Mr. Miles Henderson formerly of Redlands, Cal., a bosom friend of Sergt. Robert T. Flint, the great Lower California champion in the foothill district of Southern California, left for Ensenada on Tuesday to bring up to Santa Clara a small herd of milk goats belonging to Mr. Theodore W. Troy and Atty. Hugh E. Macbeth of Los Angeles. Mr. Ford and Mrs. Elizabeth Smith of Redlands, Cal., are expecting to arrive at Santa Clara tomorrow. Mr. A. J. Ellis is expecting Mrs. Ellis and her mother, Mrs. Villareal to arrive from Los Angeles on Saturday. Mrs. Villareal comes from Texas to Santa Clara and will be joined by her husband in the next three months. Engineer Walter J. Simpson has just completed his surveys of the Valley and is leaving for the Company's headquarters in Los Angeles today. The final big maps of Santa Clara Valley are expected to be completed in the next ten days. Mr. Simpson declares that the work which he has just completed is one of which he is justly proud and which will live as a monument to his children. It is the biggest job ever completed by a Colored engineer. PROGRAM OF WESLEY CHAPEL LYCEUM The Wesley Chapel Lyceum holds its regular meeting next Tuesday evening, the 20th inst., at 7.30 o'clock. The program provides for three papers on the following subjects: "Pickons, a nineteenth century writer and reformer," "The efforts of Prohibition on our National Life," "Home, the birthplace of character." LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1920 The Chicago Ice Cream Co. (Inc) a $10,000 concern, fully equipped and doing a lavish wholesale and retail business announces to the public elsewhere in the advertisement of this paper that it has and will offer for sale commencing next Monday morning, a limited amount of stock comprising 1,000 shares, at $5.00 per share.

Members of the Lyceum extend a cordial invitation to the public and are making a specia appeal to the young people of Los Angeles, or whatever church or creed, to come out and unite their efforts with theirs to establish such an institution n the cry as will be a creditable and praise-worthy accomplishment by the youth-life of our community. The following appeared in a recent issue of an Imperial County paper. Mr. Myers was well known in Los Angeles, which place was formerly his home. BOY LEFT OUT; The will of E. W. Myers, well known colored man who resided in Calexico for many years, was yesterday admitted to probate. Myers, it will be remembered, was killed last summer when his limousine ran off a bridge near San Diego. The will was contested by Edward Myers, son of the deceased, through his attorneys Ault & Anderson, and was held to be legal in spite of its irregular form, when the hearing was had yesterday before Judge Cole. The estate is valued at about $75,000. The plea of the contestant was, that the will could not be considered as such, and the light was made from that point. Below is given a copy of the will, as declared legal by Judge Cole. Calexico, Cal. May 4, 1917. Mr. George T. Collier: This will inform you that I am in receipt of missive you mailed to Mrs. Lula Thompson March 5, ult. She now lives in Los Angeles. She made some mistakes in trying to regulate my business, namely talking to my help. Constantly finding fault of my Lady Friend, and so on—well we will let that go as chaff to be—blow to the four parts of the Globe. I bought a little ranch last winter and quite a bit of City property all under paying bases at this Moment will aggregate 50 or 60 thousand dollars and when I shuffle off this mortal Soil the same is to go equally to my sister Lizzett Heirs—My boy is already provided for, he has in his own name 15 or 20 thousand.—Trusting the news will not surprise you and find all well—I am as ever. Your uncle, F. W. MYERS. REGISTER! REGISTER! The registration of voters is now in progress.

Out of town persons interested in buying or desiring information address all mail to the Secretary. women in Los Angeles who failed to register at the last presidential election to have changed the result of the election for president.- What a pity. All of this Wilson misrule is charged against you. Don't let it happen again. Register at ONCE. SHOOTING AFFRAY ON CENTRAL AVENUE A sensational shooting fray took place at 12th, and Central Ave. at 8:30 o'clock Tuesday morning when Barry Edwards at the intersection of the above named streets, opened fire on C. E. Knox who conducts a cigar stand near 10th St. on Central. Knox was driving his car when Edwards not more than 15 feet distant opened fire with a 38 calibre gun, his escape from death was indeed a miracle, firing squarely at Knox four times he shattered the wind suelld in his car and the bullets speeded on through the plate glass windows in the store of W. H. Guest at the E. corner of 12th, and Central Ave. A reporter for the California Eagle speaking to Mr. Knox a few minutes after the shooting said that he did not know the man who did the shooting or any cause whatever for the act. We told him that it was rumored that the man had a greviance against him about his wife. Knox said he did not know either the man or his wife. Therefore the shooting remains a mystery: Knox stands well in the community as a business man and in both church and fraternal circles. Detective Sergeants Glenn and McDuff were assigned to the case and in less than 30 minutes after the shooting occurred had Edwards who did the shooting in custody, apprehending him at 18th, and Hooper Ave. These efficient and capable officers can always he depended upon to deliver the goods. Paris, France. Dec. 31—The Petit Parisian, the feromost journal publishe din France, recently said editorially: "With 3,000,000 men lost in the war, France's poor in man power. We need 2,000,000 men to help in the reconstruction of France. The only country that can supply that man power is the American colored people. The colored Americans are very much disatisfied, and there is much unrest among them on account of the treatment by the white Americans. In some parts of American black men are lynched every day. In France they are treated the same as any other Frenchman. In our hotels and all other places there is no discrimination. Let the French appeal for 2,000,000 colored Americans to help build up France." FOR RENT: Large alry front room, near E. P. Depot; for rent to right room. Apply at 832 so.

Cerutti will be a candidate for the Assembly from the 74th Assembly district, thereby crossing bails with F. M. Roberts, the incumbent, dame rumor further says that E. T. Hubbard will do the comback and get into the tray. C. E. Barton, the genial treasurer of Imperial County is a broad gauged and clean cut official who stands for the fullest recognition of all the people. Frank H. Mouser is an avowed candidate for Senator from the 29th District and has a host of friends who are lining up even at this date for him. And now our Billy Vacher has moved it is said to the 73rd Assembly district from which he will make the race for the Assembly against the present title holder Elmer Bromley. The big plums have all been parceled out by Mayor Snyder and now the loyal colored supporters are anxiously waiting and asking the watchman, what of the hour? Down at. Imperial there is an appointee of Gov. Stephens for Judge of the Superior Court named Swing, from what we could see, hear and learn of him., we opine that at the first opportunity the voters have a chance at him he will surely swing out of this office for which it appears he is not the man. Started Something The accompanying clipping which appeared in the Times of a few issues ago evidently started up our reader who replies as follows: Colored Brethren's Grievance. The California Eagle, a Negro newspaper published in Los Angeles, opines that s"omething tangible" must come to the colored voters who have been loyal to the G. O. P. The Eagle claims that Gov. Stephens was nominated by the Negro vote, but that, "he has absolutely withheld from them any recognition even to the remotest degree." Dear Mr. Editor: I note the above clipping in the Los Angeles Times and read same with interest. Now I rise to inquire why stop with California in demanding political justice for the Negro? If the Negro would come to understand that the Republican party care naught for him except for his votes they could make their influence felt. If the newspapers would bring to the attention of the people the fact that the republicans could not have carried any of he few pivotal states they did carry in 1916 except for the Negro vote they might be brought to their senses. Without the Negro vote the Republican party is the minority party in the United States. There isn't any doubt of it but the proud Republican leaders would rather cut off their right arm than to have this fact generally known and the Negro press does not seem to be in any haste to make it known. The election figures to be had in Washington will prove what I have to say. Yours truly. FAIR PLAY. ELKS HOLD JOINT INSTALLATION. Elks from all around foregathered Saturday night at Masonic Hall, Members of Golden West Lodge, No. 8 met in joint session with Hiawatha Temple (the organization of ladies) and the object was the installation of officers for the first half of the year 1929.

EMINENT PHYSICIAN VISITS CITY DR. AND MRS. W. C. GORDON GIVE RECEPTION TO DISTIN- GUISHED VISITORS, At their beautiful home on Washington Street, Dr. and Mrs. Wilbur C. Gordon gave a Reception on Thursday evening from 8 to 11 in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Grant Daily of Chicago. The rooms of this spacious and well appointed home were beautifully decorated for the occasion and in keeping with the occasion at one end of the dining room Mrs. A. C. Richardson presided at the Funneh Bowl in the receiving line were: Mrs. Dr. Vada Sommerville; Mrs. Robinson and others. Hundreds of Los Angeles citizens paid their respects to Dr. and Mrs. Gordon and the distinguished guests of honor. Dr. Dale ystands preeminent at the head of his profession in the great city of Chicago; he is spending a few weeks in the West for a much needed rest and with Mrs. Dailey who is a sister of the eminent Dr Curris of Washington, D. C., is domiciled at the home of J. H. Shackelford on East 24th. Street. BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW WEDDING teresting weddings of the season was that of Miss Aline E. Foley, daughter of Mrs. W. H. Burns of 1407 Lawrence street, and Mr. Ernest E. Reading which took place at the Saints Home Church the evening of January 7th. The ceremony was read by Dr. Driver, the bridal party standing beneath a beautiful rainbow arch and bell. The bride was gowned in an exquisite costume of white crepe dhine and carried a bouquet of white roses. Miss Lucile Catley sang "O Promise Me" as the bridal procession started and the wedding march was played by Mr. C. Cooksey. The bride was attended by the following persons: Ethellyn Foley, Viola Baldwin, Jimmie Jackson, Matron of Honor, Mrs. Anna Wooten and flower girls Lauretta Clarette and Gladys Broadway; the men of the party were: Messrs. Willie Hunter, Chas. Bryant, Louie Driver, Henry Cook and Jesse Price. The couple were the recipients of many beautiful presents of silver, china, and linen. Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Saddle White had charge of the beautiful decorations and also served a dainty repast in the church after the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Redding entertained the members of the bridal party Monday evening at their home on East 14th street. We finally have the long-delayed December Crisis—but we are well paid for the long wait—the cover, itself being worth the price per copy; for there we have a beautiful colored mother fondling her babe—both being good to look upon. The Memphis Co-operative Stores run by Mr. B. M. Roddy is comprehensively presented, showing convincingly that colored People can do "big business."

NUMBER 49 THE MIGHTY IMPERIAL VALLEY IMPERIAL, EL CENTRO, CALEX- ICO. The Soaring Eagle representatives journeyed to the mighty Imperial Valley, although other by-crops grow grimage to that far famed and fertile valley. Truly this section is the pro- ducers paradise, here they delve in- to the earth and reap a harvest of gold. Cotton is truly "King" in this Vally, although other by-crops grow there and mature, but Cotton at 50 cents per pound, why its simple, you can't beat it. Everybody in Imperial Valley if they aspire to qualify as a producer has the opportunity to do so. There are many things we can tell the Eagle readers of this great country and we shall without fear or favor tell what we saw and relate what we heard. Landing at El Centro on Sunday we found it difficult to navigate on account of the rain which had come along with us and when it rains in the Imperial Valley there is absolutely nothing doing so far as traveling on foot or even in automobile, the only solution would be to charter an aeroplane. By Tuesday however we were permitted to address an enthusiastic meeting at the A. M. E. Church, here our Circulation Manager, Mr. R. C Wassom made his first stand before a California audience and was the recipient of a most flattering reception and procured many new subscribers for the Searing Eagle. On Wednesday evening the same effort was repeated at Calexico; however by this time the weather was again inclement and not quite so large a crowd present but the Circulation Manager and the Editor filled the date juts the same. On Thursday night at Imperial an enthusiastic audience greeted us at the Baptist Church; Mr. Wassom again scored and enlisted many new recruits. On Friday night again at El Centro we were the invited guests of the N. A. A. C. P. and addressed the Association. Mr. Wassom was again on the job and repeated Tuesday night's effort. On Sunday we journeyed to Calpatira where we had been scheduled to address the people of that vicinity, but on account of the continued rainfall this meeting was called off. We found the people as a rule on the upward trend, slowly but surely qualifying to "Do Things;" we found them ambitious to become real producers and perchance of failure for one year would not become discouraged, but enter with a renewed determination for the incoming year. We saw families by the score coming into the Valley seeking locations, some with families as high as 16 persons, they are fleeing from the desplorable conditions of the Southland. In our next issue we will write of the conditions in towns of the Valley, we will speak right out and tell it as we found it that the people may know how things are viewed by the passing visitor. THANK YOU! During my four years stay in Los Angeles and my connection with the Second Baptist Church, I feel that I accumulated many friends (true friends are certainly diamonds) who will be mine fill death do us part and the material parting will mean but a closer cementing of the bonds of our affection on a higher plane where changer come no more, and parting is unknown. In leaving my field of effort for Rio De Janeiro at this time, it is with heart quakes that I part with those I have learned to love, and in saying good-bye in this fashion I wish to thank each and everyone for kindness shown in every way; especially do I thank the members and friends of my church for the cash contribution to help make my journey comfortable and pleasant. And again I my thank you and blessings. PHONES: Office, West 7007 Res., West 2947 Williams' wonderful Excelsior Hair Grower guaranteed to grow the hair one-half inch a month.

Sunday was another great day at this fast growing, progressive church. The pastor preached at both services. He used as a subject at the morning hour, "A Teacher with Authority. The sermon was a rare treat. Many were the shouts of joy as the Word of God was preached. At the close of this service there were three accessions to the membership of the church, one of whom was a convert. At the evening service the pastor again preached to an attentive congregations. At the close of this service there were two more accessions to the church, making five for the day. The Choir was at its best on Sunday and sang to the delight and edification of the worshippers. Strangers and visitors are always welcome to the services of this home-like church. Come where the gospel is preached in simplicity and power and where the old time fire is burning. Services every Sunday, Sunday School, 9.45; Preaching 11.00 a.m. M. V. C. E., 6.30; Preaching, 7.30 P. M. Visitors and members always welcome. In spite of the disadvantages under which we are still forced to hold our services, not having a central place for all of our regular meetings, there is progress maintained in all of the departments of the work, and new life is manifest with the progress of the work on our new building. When this building is complete it will be the logical place for a real community center and its accommodations will be as inviting as its location. With its communious social hall splendid kitchen facilities, and excellent auditorium, her door will stand ajar for any galleries of community interest. It will be an ideal place for entertainments, special lectures and annual gatherings. The public is invited to inspect and contemplate its possibilities during the course of its erection. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST— 18th and 20th Ago Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added — St. Matt. 6:33. Our pastor preached a marvelous sermon Sunday morning from this text. He said that Christianity is a business and not a pastime. It is a beginning, it is a life, and that religion means service. Choose the highest and best in life and the highest will come to you. The kingdom and His righteousness is your true foundation, the foundation that supports your life. In The evening the pastor spoke from Cor. 32:1. There are many members but one body. The comparison of our bodies to the church of Christ was beautifully illucidated, and everyone present learned a valuable lesson. The familiar old jubilee, "Standing in the need of Prayer," was impressively rendered by the Choir. One occasion was recorded and collection amounted to $11.78. Members of the Choir were given a Reception last Wednesday evening by the Trustee Board of the Church at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. S. Pool. Everyone present spent & most delightful evening. Mrs. A. J. Jonea, Mrs. E. Keckler and Mr. Smith are on the slick lift. TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH Hemlock near 12th St. Sundayrise Prayer Services, 5.30 A. M.; Sunday School, 9.30 A.

CHURCH On last Thursday evening, January S. 1920, after the 8 o'clock service, the members of the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church gathered in the parrors of their Church and tendered a surprise to their pastor, Rev. W. H. Rozier. They gave him a $50.00 Overcoat and about $20.00 worth of Groceries. On Sunday, the pastor, Rev. Rozier visited Riverside and Rev. J. James filled the pulpit for the 11 o'clock service.

The pastor preached morning and evening to large audiences. The evening sermon was on the topic "What is the Matter with Los Angeles' Christians?" This was the first in a series of sermons on "What is the Matter with Los Angeles?" So well and so plainly put was the general description of religious conditions in this city that requests were made by many that the sermon be repeated in the very near future. Three persons united with the church. This Sunday will be a great day. it is Young People's Day anr the pastor will preach in the morning on the general topic. "What is the Matter with Los Angeles' Young People? This will be a helpful and inspiring message which all of the young people of the city should hear. The pastor-has been quite fortunate in securing the services of the Rev. G. Bromley Oxnam to address the Young People on "Some lessons learned on my recent trip around the World." Old and young will be helped by this message. He will speak at the evening service. The great 1920 Rally has begun in earnest. The outlook is exceedingly encouraging. Wesley Out of Debt in 1920 is already being realized. Come and worship with us. WARD CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH 1354 Channing St. Rev. J. H. Green, Pastor.

You are cordially invited to all these services. SECOND RAPTIST CHURCH 710 Maple Avenue Our Sunday School was well represented in attendance and interest. The 11 o'clock service was marked with evidence of th' Master's presence and bliss. The Choir was a veritable inspiration to the preacuer, who from the moment he announced the text—"All ye are brethren," until he closed, the entire audience eagerly drank in the words of the lord. There is really a movement of the Holy Spirit in the Second Church which it would be well for every member to notice and encourage. The Lord is really waiting to bless His people and save sinners if all would open the door for Him. Miss Ellen Prowd bade good-bye to the Church amid the most kindly remarks mingled with tears, nor was she forgotten in the matter of aid, for a very appreciative sum was taken up for her. The Junior Missionary and the B. Y. P. U. Societies held meetings of great interest. Come out early this Sunday. Come praying for a blessing. Come and witness the installation of the newly elected officers. The pastor's family left on their trip last Monday. Pray for them. GRANT CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH Watts, California Those who are interested in the progress of the church, are rejoicing with th' meibership of Grants Chapel on the miraculous work that is being accomplished; things that at one time seemed impossible are now common or every day happenings. Our collections are from 15 to 20 Dollars every Sabbath. The Rally of the Trustees on the 4th gave them $200. a continuation of the Thanksgiving effort. On last Sunday, Rev. J. H. Green, pastor of Ward Chapel preached for us, text, "What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?" Rev. Green preached an able sermon, and all enjoyed it. On Sunday night Ry. Price the pastor held the crowded house spellbound while he tarried with Jesus and the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, and then on to Galilee by way of Samaria, how our hearts did burn as this man of God led us step by step over the path of Christian duty. MACFDONIA BAPISTI CHURCH Watts, California Rev. John A. Fleming, Pastor. A great day of rejoicing in the Spirit was the past second Sunday in the year for Macedonia. After beginning the day with the excellent Sunday School issue about how Peter and John healed the lame man and we were taught that although these two had no money, they had power from above and gave freely of it where it was needed. They gave what money could not buy. Our pastor, after a slight illness, again preached one of his soul-stirring sermons from the text, "What think yo of Christ? Whose son is He?" matt. 22:42. At three o'clock, Rev. Holt, of St. Paul Baptist Church, preached to the Missionary Society. The presence of the Holy Spirit was made manifest by the shouts of joy and praise from all over the congregation. One candidate for Baptism resulted in this meeting. The B. Y. P. U. is progressing rapidly. Next week a full financial report of this church for the past six months will appear in this column. MYRTLE AVENUE A, M. E. CHURCH— The services of this church were well attended last Sunday, at the hour of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and 7 o'clock respectively, that day having been set apart to the Trustees as a Grand K rally Day. Our success was grand, thus proving that we are progressing both spiritually and financially. Our drive for which we had been preparing about sixty days, broke all previous records, netting us $110.06 with a few dollars yet to be reported. We thank G dofor enabling us to make this wonderful success and also thank the kind-hearted friends who so liberally came to our rescue.

M.T. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH— 3rd and Traction Sunday was a great day in Zion, the Sunday School was well attended and much good was gleaned from the lesson—"Freely ye have received, freely give." At the morning services the pastor preached from Matt. 11:28, "Come unto me all that are heavy laden and I will give you rest." Subject: Jesus' instruction to the faithful Christian.

N..Holt, Pastor Sunday was another high day at St. Paul. Pastor Holt preached at both morning and evening services. Dr. Holt on entering the pulpit spoke as to his fitness physically to preach, owing to sad news received of the serious illness of his father, but for forty minutes he forgot himself and held his listeners as usual spell-bound and there was a great shout in Zion. Both services were well attended. Our Sunday School has taken on new life, our roll of regular attendance tells six-eighths while our Sunday School membership exceeds ninety. Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock Dr. Holt preached for Rev. Fleming at Watts and two souls were happily converted.

Dr. Holt left the city Tuesday morning for father's bedside; we're expecting him to return in about ten days. THE FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH 8th street and Towne Avenue Rev. A. Milton Ward, Minister The pastor occupied his pulpit on last Sunday morning and was greeted by a large audience. Major George Prioleau worshipped with us and the spiritual tide ran high. There were six accessiones to the full membership of the church. In the evening the Rev. J. H. Green, pastor of Ward Chapel A. M. E. Church delivered a good sermon and showed that he is filled with the old time fire and earnestness. A large gathering was present and the Christians felt that it was good to be there. The two choirs under direction of Prof. Elmer C. Bartlett rendered excellent music at both services. The Sunday School was at high tide. There were many prominent visitors who worshipped with us and who were extended a hearty welcome on behalf of our church by the pastor. Major Prioleau is to deliver the sermon at 11 o'clock. Sunday morning, January 18th and our pastor is to preach in the evening at 7.30 o'clock. The last marriage the pastor had the joy of performing in the old year was that of two of the members of the A. B. O. U. T. Club who desired to surprise their many friends. It was that of Mr. Thomas L. Johnson and Misc Alma E. Dreyfus, prominent in church and social circles of this city. The funeral services for Mrs. Florence Mae Wilson, familiarly called by all who knew her "Mother Wili- son," a faithful and honorable member of the First A. M. E. Church of this city were held in that church on last Tuesday. There was a large gathering present including the Household of Ruth and the S. M. T., her class number 16 led by brother True and many other loyal friends; Rev. A. Milton Ward, assisted by Rev. J. C. Anderson of the C. M. E. Church delivered the eulogy. A beautiful tribute was telegraphed by the pastor and members of Visitor's Chapel A. M. E. El Paso, Texas, where Sister Wilson labored for many years. She had been a consistent Christian for 45 years. The interment was in Evergreen Cemetary. Mrs. Wilson is survived by her daughter, Miss Nettie Wilson of this city and four sons with several grand daughters who mourn their loss. Confidante FOR GIRLS (Charlotte Brickhouse) "Take up our quarrel with the foe, To you from falling hand we throw The torch be your to hold it high If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppier grow A Visit with the Mother of Corporal Benjamin Bowie. In a cosy little brick, cottage on Clanton Street livees a dear sweet-faced old lady, the mother of Corporal Benjamin Bowie, the first colored soldier from Los Angeles to fail on the battlefields of France while fighting for "DEMOCRACY" — (?) This little mother who has given her only son, her dearest possession to help make this country "a sweet land of liberty," left our city January 12th for her old home in Tampa, Fla. to spend a few months visiting among old friends. Mrs. Bowie arrived in our city, August, 3 years ago to visit her son, whom she had not seen for seven years, they had 3 short months of happiness together when the call "To Arms" came for Mr. Bowie. He left for Camp Lewis, Oct. 28, 1917. then to Camp Grant where he was made a Corporal in the 365th Regiment, Co. I. He sailed for France on June 10th and on the morning of Sept. 11, 1918 in the Vosges Sector he gave his life to make the world a decent place to live in. Mrs. Bowie gets much consolation from her son's last letter, he wrote: "Mother I am doing all I can to come home soon, but if I don't get home pray that we may meet in heaven." Corporal Bowie was 27 years of age a native of Monticello, Florida. "Sleep on, ye brave, the snirking shell The quaking trench, the startled yell The fury of the battle hell Shall wake you not, for all is well Sleep peacefully, for all is well. Your flaming torch aloft we bear. With burning heart an oath we sweep To keep the faith, to fight it through To crush the toe or sleep with you. Captain Daniel Smith of the 368th Reg., 32nd Division, A. E. F., who was one of the Negro officers tried by Court Martial and sentenced to death on a charge of alleged cowardice, has been honorably exonerated and restored to duty by Secretary of War Baker, who signed the order by direction of the President. Captain Smith's conviction on the charge of "shamefully" retreating and running away from the enemy on Sept. 28, 1918, when his regiment was ordered to advance near Vienna-Le-Chateau, is disproved and ordered set aside. It was proven that the charges were unfounded and grew largely from prejudice on the part of the white commanders. Miss Victoria Blackwell has the distinction of being the first colored woman lawyer.

Charles Young Says the Dead Soldiers Fought for Justice ments. New York, Jan. 2—Referred to in the same breath with the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and General Leonard Wood as one of the three great Americans, who was refused participation in the world war, Colonel Charles Young, military attache of the American embassy in Liberia, spoke here at St. Marks Subday night. Colonel Young told his audience that he was opposed to a monument of bronze or stone in honor of the Negro soldier dead. But he did request of congress a memorial to the Negro dead and that that memorial be the thing for which these Negroes gave their lives—liberty, justice, equal opportunities and educational facilities, the suppression of lynching by making it a federal crime, the abolition of Jim crow cars. He contended that all the monuments of great men in America belong to Negroes as well as to white and Negro children should be taught to love them and reverence them, and also to learn the history of the African people, lear nthat there is an African culture perhaps older than that of any modern people in literature, in art and in science.

Calls for National, State and Communities are now very much in vogue, the reason is apparent, the big show is on, the Presidential Campaign is on. The Soaring Eagle reaches the people; it states their case, and procures for the people a nearing. On its merit it comes to you 52 weeks in a year with the gospel of progress. We have never boasted of our circulation because of the fact that we ourselves are not satisfied, neither content at the number we serve, our goal is the 50,000 mark, we are launching a real campaign, major wide in its scope and at the end of the same feel confident that we will on this Pacific Slope announce a figure sworn and bonafide that will indeed be astounding. At the present time without special effort our list continues to grow day by day and we surpass any other Negro journal in the West many times, of this there is no question, the mails each day bring to us subscriptions from all parts of the country, we appreciate the same and indeed feel complimented and shall strive as ever to hold aloft the banner of progress, published a real newspaper devoted to the real uplift and benefet of a race Dr. C. P. Jones., of this city, far famed gospel preacher leaves on Sunday for his annual pilgrimage to the East on his return will build a great church in this city, we appreciate Rev. Jones and the wonderful gospel which he both preaches and lives. WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE? It now appears we have the returns from the scions of the wealthy at Yale, Harvard, Brown and other big institutions where only those with hefty bank roils can enter, also we have long since heard from Wall Street and the politicians; and now what we rise to inquire is, when will the people have their say on the all absorbing question? The League of Nations. THE NEGRO AND THE MULE BACKBONE OF U. S. The Charleston, S. C. New Courier states more mules and horses have been sold to Negroes this year than ever before in the history of the Country, and while in many instances the purchases have been purely a matter of business advantage in other instances it has been purely for the sole purpose of using the animals for riding over the Country. It has been accepted that the "Negro and Mule are the back bone of the United States," so long in that neck of the wood that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, however if the Negro were as stubborn as the mules are, in returning their affections for their oppressors- Maybe this world would be a better place in which to live. In church or in fraternal organizations the seekers of spot light honors are invariably the ones with the least spirit and those who are in fraternal circles for selfish aggravation. In other words the unworthy make the lime light at church and wear the biggest pins in the Masons, Odd Fellows, K ```markdown ``` In the Imperial Valley we noticed in one of the towns that the preacher of the leading church among the colored residents thereof, lives right in the center of the Red Light district, the question naturally arises, is he there for the purpose of trying to persuade the denizens thereof to lead a better life or because he can make money in that environment; at any rate he will have to do a lot of explaining to satisfy people who stand for the need to order to justify the need to demonstrate so. RECORD WANTS JITNEY SERVICE The Daily Record is both satisfied and discontented at the service rendered by the Los Angeles Street Railway Company. This is nothing unusual for the Record, which often whines and rave because this old world will not function just like this self-same Record would have to do. It is however a case of our problem so far as the complaint against the Street Car officials and their service is concerned, for be it known that the Record is to an extent the mouth piece of Union forces lost the car strike the Record got sore. The Record was the official organ as it were of the Jitney owners, they went before the people with this issue "Jitney or no Jitney" and the Jitney, their cohorts, advisors and propaganda were licked to a frazzle; and now it is with bad grace that this discredited mouthpiece bobs up serenely and wants to solve a so-called problem, via the Jitney route. But come on if you want to the people will never stand for the one sided narrow contracted system again and as often as you can stand a beating it shall be given you. The people are with the Street Car Company which would not stand to be bull-dozed at the people's expense and right loyally have they demonstrated the same. The officials of the Los Angeles Railway Company are big, broad-gauged men who aspire to give to all the people the best possible service, and stand out almost alone as officials who are satisfied by the fact that Los Angeles is one of big city where the fights cents has remained in force the var. during the war and after the war.

Grav) Alexander Brachocki, pianist, and one of the only three persons the great Paderewski has been known to take under his tutelage, and a race violinist by the name of R. Carlton Dorsey, gave a joint recital under auspices of the Y. M. C. A. at Nortolk, Va., January 6th. Prof. Hiram Simmons, a race musician of Portsmouth, Va., has a written an oratorio entitled "The story of the Lord's Supper" which was produced in that city recently. The leading tenor part was sung by Roland Hayes. Under direction of Mine. Florence Cole-Talbert a large community chorus is being organized at the community Welfare Association of Detroit, Mich. Q. Paul Reimers, noted tenor is very fond of Negro spirituals and is using them extensively in his recitals. He considers them of inestimable value and a great addition to the contributions to the art life of this country. Percy Grainger gave his first Boston recital of the season at Gordon Hall, December 11th, magnificently playing an unhackneyed program, including "Juba" by R. Nathaniel Deta, a dane in syncopation that caught the audience delightfully. Keep Your Eye Here Big things coming up! THE ACME-BUFFALO REALTY CO. 1400 Central Avenue M. H.

LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF ILLINOIS STOCK is being sold for $30.00 per share—$5.00 down and $5.00 per month. Two shares, $10.00 down, $10.00 per month, etc. The more stockholders we have, the stronger the company will be, and better for all concerned. A large number of stockholders spells a absolute success. INCORPORATED under the laws of the State of Illinois as an Old Line or Legal Reserve Life Insurance Company and is at the present time under state supervision. THE AWAKENING OF THE NEGRO The Condition of the Negro business men in Chicago today should be a warning to every Race-loving Negro in the United States TO GET TOGETHER. Because during the past fifty years those who have lived in Chicago have made MILLIONAIRES among every nationality known to civilization that offered there the least bit of encouragement for their patronage and they have also made a PAUPER of every NEGRO who dared to enter into COMPETITION with these people for our trade. The results of our loyalty to the other fellow fluids us today without any State Banks, Legal Reserve Life Insurance Companies, Fire Insurance Companies, Wholesale Houses of any kind whatever, Department Stores, Laundries, First Class Hotels and various other business establishments necessary for the upbuilding of a Race. WORLD'S WAR DISCOVERS NEGROES' BEST FRIEND The one fault which has retarded our progress more than all of the others combined has been caused by our permitting the other fellow to plant the seed of DISTRUST among us and so well did he plant the seed that not until the recent war did the Negro realize that his best friend was his own people. No matter what our past grievances have been or what our future understanding may be, when the smoke of Distrust has cleared away and the harsh words spoken have ceased to cause pain, every Negro must be found cemented together "ONE FOR ALL, AND ALL FOR ONE." LIBERTY LIFE TO OUR RESCUE The LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY of ILLINOIS is going to be to the Negroes what the other Life Insurance Companies are to the white race, a medium through which they can obtain cheap money on approved securities. Without an available supply of cheap interest money there is but little hope for our financial development as a Race of people. The success of Standard Life of Atlanta, Ga., and the North Carolina Mutual of Durham, N. C., is sufficient proof that our men are capable of managing large financial institutions. Life Insurance Companies of the United States control more money than all of the National Banks, State Banks and Private Banks combined. AN APPEAL TO EVERY RACE LOVING NEGRO More than Fifteen Million loyal Race loving Negroes are interested in the Liberty Life Insurance Company, and the few thousand shares of stock we have left cannot last very long, because every day subscriptions are being received from all parts of the country. Every Negro should consider it his indispensable duty to invest at least $30.00 in fostering such a noble undertaking, EVERYBODY TO BE TREATED ALIKE There is no Promotion Stock in this Company, nor is any stock issued for "Services Rendered." The stockholders are all on an equal standing with each other, all paying the same price, $30.00 per share, for their stock and each having an opportunity to purchase the same number of shares to the end that all may be treated alike and the control of the organization by a few owners prevented. NOW IS TIME TO ACT It has been said, "It's the keen-brained man who invests at the start of an enterprise who makes all the money. The stragglers who come in later are the men who help make it." DO NOT BE A STRAGGLER. SEND IN YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TODAY. DO IT NOW! NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT. PERSONNEL OF COMPANY BEGETS CONFIDENCE Never before has an investment been submitted to the Negroes of the United States which had a more substantial and reliable body of men who are financially responsible for its future success than those whose names appear below as Directors of this organization.

Roe gave it to them from God. Although it cut like a two edged sword, the text was taken from the 10th chapter of St. Luke, and the 20th verse. Those who failed to be present at Sunday morning's services certainly missed a spiritual treat. If the pastor will not have returned next Sunday morning Rev. Ross will preach "The Ship of Zion."
