Doing Marvelous Work in South--- Visits Old Home and Will Preach at Mount Zion Sunday. REV, DR. J. T. HILL PASTOR ROANOKE BAPTIST CHURCH, HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS. Volume Thirty-Five DR. J. T. HILL C INTERN Doing Marvelous Visits Old Home at Mount Z It hasn't taken six years for this community to realize what it lost when the Rev. Dr. J. T. Hill decided to answer the call to other fields. Hardly had the Parewells been spoken and the faint toot-toot of the train, as it sped Eastward, been gone. Joseph was able to realize that things weren't as they used to be when Joseph T. Hill was in town. Where was all the joy in church work? Where all the music and high classed literary offering to which the public sat down and feasted perhaps without knowing from whence came the joy? Where was all the joy began to grow restless, running from one place to another trying to find the happiness and contentment they knew when there was someone to lead them on. Someone who at heart studied their interest and was fully capable and ready to stand in their behalf any time and anywhere. And the Cacusian of the city as much so as by his own people. Even yet there are some who come among us REV. DR. PASTOR ROANOKE BAPTIST CHURCH asking, not always by name, but by a description of his person or personality or more often by some good deed wrought or some word spoken that causes us with one accord to say, "Oh, that was Dr. Joseph T. Hill." So with his going the entire community realized that a great light had been removed from the city, the majority ceased from the stretching and straining of their eyes in adjusting them to the difference. Some, those who knew him best, those most closely associated with him in his work for nearly ten years, will always be clamoring for more light. From time to time through newspaper reports, so many good tidings his work and his word; we hardly know where to begin to tell you. However, we will leave it to him to tell you of the great church of about 800 members, of which he is now pastor in Hot Springs, Ark. and, mind you that in spite of the fact that it is located in the heart of country half of his audience consists of the wealthy and cultured class of Caucasians. He has so worked as to bring the church to the big work of establishing it as an Institutional church. It is needless to say that the people have rallied to him, for who, more than we, know of the magnetism of his personality! We would rather tell you of the unusual, of how he "skin" the sheer amount he held-bound audiences of the other race as he pastored them in the vacational absence of their pastors. During this time the white press spoke of him in Hear Rev. D glowing terms, and so grew in respect as to drop the "Negro Minister." substituting "Rev. Dr. J. T. Hill" in their headlines. Special reporters were detained to write special articles, and great crowds were turned away from every service, even during a crowded house. He did this by the preaching of the gospel of the Lord Jesus. Christ, as quotations from press clippings and letters of other race testify. These are a few quotations from Mr. G. A. Maybee, of the Zion Methodist church of Moose Jaw, Canada, which church Dr. Hill pastored last summer, when the church vacation. The Zion Methodist church is one of the largest churches in Canada, with a seating capacity of two thousand persons. Dr. Hill held sway over the masses at this place last year. In writing to Mr. Inkster, pastor of one of the largest churches in Toronto, who inquired about this church, Dr. Hill directed the who of Moose Jaw, Mr. Maybee writes: "In the first place, I consider the J. T. HILL ARCH, HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS. Rev. Dr. Joseph T. Hill, of Hot Springs, Ark. to be a man enjoying unusual inspirational functions, a man of brilliant education and absolutely free from vulgarity or any of that kind of language Billy Sunday uses, etc. He knows only one message, and that is, the solution of the world's greatest trouble in Jesus Christ, and he preaches with such power that he is the whole talk of the finest bass singers I ever heard in my life. In short, not forgetting my admiration of many friends, he is the greatest power as a preacher I ever heard, and if you could get him in your church in Toronto you could not find a building to hold his crowd after, he had sung, and delivered two or three messages. In spite of the fact that he is recognized in the South as a Negro, and the Southerner does not specialize very much on the comfort of men of his race, in the city of Hot Springs, his church of Hot Springs made it my duty to make special inquiries regarding himself among members of both races, and from a personal standpoint, power in the community and character, I never heard any better references. We had him here for six weeks, and the people fairly loved him. He filled our church to capacity, and without the slightest solicitation of any kind the members of the congregation of their own tree will give him $1200 to pay him. His memory lingers in this community yet, and I am asked nearly every day by somebody if there would be any chance of getting Dr. Hill back." r. Jos. T. Hill Su LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SEPT. 17, 1921 heard of Dr. Hill and Mr. Maybee's letter, the Rev. M. Inkster invited him to fill his pulpit and conduct a week of evangelistic services this year for him in the Knox Presbyterian church of Toronto, Canada, am going to give you in full a special article written by Byron Stauffer, a reporter to the daily paper. Dr. Hill filled this pulpit for five weeks, completing his engagement the 1st of September, and now he is here! He is really here this time, he has heard and dreamed of longed that he should so do that the news coming to us late last week that he was here at first thrilled and then caused us to doubt. But he is really here, for did we not witness ourselves the crowded house of the Friendship Bap. church Sunday evening, despite the fact that he had no publicity save the tongues of men and women the last day or so before. Didn't we hear him with glad and listening ears as he poured forth in double the eloquence, of equal volume and thrice the sincerity as an hour as long as the spell-bound than an hour he held us spell-bound on every word that would with the softness of a dove's coe, or as voluminous as a lion's roar, be uttered forth. At first he was reluctant to come, having spent his entire summer's vacation in conducting the meetings in Canada. He wanted rest, and needs rest, so as to be prepared to take up his work on the next month. His old friends insisted, and we insisted that he could not possibly pass us over without at least a sermon or two, so out of the bigness of his heart and the great (Continued on Page Three.)

A recent press comment says it was an education not only in the variety of musical expression but also a program that gave to the audience an inquiry into the philosophy and meaning of music. Director-Archile J. Williams offers (the public) the best in music that is seldom equalled and not surpassed by any rivals whatsoever. Prof. L. G.

Also it marks a new plan by which to determine just what satisfaction these cars are giving and how pleased each customer respectively was with his purchase. Mr. Johnston planned this tour at his own expense with the help of Editor's Note:—Mr. Johnston deserves great credit for the marvelous success of the above novel and unique stunt, which puts him in the front rank as a salesman with ideas put into execution. This young man stands today without an equal in the line of effort, and the Paige people are due the appreciation, as well as consideration, of all peoples who stand for fair play. Because of the fact that they are big enough and broad-gauged enough to give elevator access to Mr. Johnston's success is due to the fact he has elected to represent a winner, and the Paige people are now putting out just about the nifftest car on the market, and Mr. Johnston is efficient, knows all about a - car, is courteous and affable; is indeed, a black Premiere. He protects his customers and gives to them the very best consideration that is possible to obtain. The Colored people of this section are all becoming Paige owners. Johnston's eloquent communication and his consideration which gives to him the turn the tide, and all roads for prospective car purchasers leads to the Paige Agency. Even the Eagle man is about to put down his Haynes Six, which he loves so well, and join the army of "Paige Satisfied Owners." BACK FROM THE EAST STATE GRAND PRINCESS MRS. SARAH SHORES and STATE GRAND QUEEN MRS. MINNIE HARRIS, REPORT THEIR VISIT TO GRAND BODY U. B. F. & S. M. T., RECENTLY HELD AT CINCINNATI, OHIO. Leaving Sunday, July 24th, over the Golden State Limited, we arrived at Kanaas City, Mo., on Tuesday, the 26th, where they were met at the Union depot near Jesse F. Wesley University. Leaving the Western University, Leaving Kansas City we arrived at St. Louis Wednesday morning and were met by Rév. Wm. Peck, formerly pastor of the 8th and Towne Ave. church, now pastoring one of the largest churches in St. Louis. Leaving St. Louis on the Big 4 Railroad we arrived in Cincinnati at 6 p. m. Wednesday. We were met here by P. G. N. G. P. Sister Whitton, whose guest we were for two weeks. We attended the National Session. Cincinnati received the Grand Body in royal style; the streets were in gala attire and decorations, were profuse in welcoming the delegates to this great city. The Session was opened Saturday, July 30th, at 10 o'clock at the Duluth School and lasted six days. It ended with the greatest session in the history of the great Order, there being delegates all over the world, Africa and the West Indies being represented. The Session closed to meet in Hot Springs, Ark. in 1924. After the close of the Session we spent a week in visiting points of interest in and around the city. We visited the Great Odd Fellows Building, which is a magnificent three-story building in the business section of the city. We visited the Co. which is a wonderful institution; numbers of girls, women and men of the Race are here employed in manufacturing regalis of the different Orders, which are sold in all parts of the globe. We also visited in Kentucky, at Covington and Newport; also the Old Folks Home, which is a wonderful institution, with 30 inmates. Our time for home began by boarding the Penn R. R. Train and arrived in Chicago, where we were met by Mrs. W. M. Vance and Mrs. James MRS. SARAH P. SHORES Smith; leaving in three hours for Denver over the Rock Island, arriving at Denver on Monday at 3 p.m. and arrived at Salt Lake City Wednesday, the 10th day of Aug. at 7 p.m. Crossing the great Salt Lake, we were on our way to beautiful California, arriving at Oakland Thursday at Temple in that city and San Francisco, leaving on Aug. 20th for home, which place we arrived at on Aug. 21st, completing a journey of representation for the live and progressive Order, the U. B. F. and S. MRS. MINNIE HARRIS M. T. of the California Jurisdiction. Get Recognition for the West. It might be interesting to members and friends to know that so well did these two representatives serve that Mrs. Sarah Shores was elected by the National Body as Grand Chaplain and Safe Keeper of Finance of the Past Princess Council of the M.D. Harriet School to the position D.

B., AS A MINISTER AND A CITIZEN FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. Rev. G. W. Reed, LL. B., the subject of this sketch, came to California directly from Minnesota, Minn. September, 1911, by the request of Rev. W. W. Witthers, who had been called to the pastorate of the Second Baptist church of Stockton. On returning to his home in Minnesota, he was sent to him to return to Stockton, he requested the Rev. G. W. Reed to come to Stockton, which he did; arriving in Stockton in the month of September, 1911; and shortly after arriving there, he was called to the pastorate of the Second Baptist church, which church he pastored for nearly five years. While pastoring at the Second Baptist church of Stockton, he remodeled the church, changing it. from practically a one room structure, to that of a structure with auditorium, dining hall, kitchen, and study; and painted the building at a cost of approximately about $10,000. When he took the pastorate of that church, it had an active membership enrolled of about eighteen. During his pastorate, he brought the membership up to something over seventy-five. He baptized almost the entire Sunday school, while pastoring there. During the same period, he had to graduate from the Teacher's methods, three of his young people, and also his direction and influence, one of the young ladies was sent to Lincoln Heights school, at Washington, and one of the boys was sent to Tuskegee Institute. In October, 1915, he resigned the church of Stockton, to take effect January, 1916. His resignation was accepted, by immediately recalled as supply pastor of that church, and on leaving, the following him by the church, and also by the Ministerial Union (white) of that city: Stockton, Calif., Jan. 2, 1916 To Whom it May Concern: To Whom it May Concern: This is to certify that the bearer, Rev. G. W. Reed, served the Second Baptist church, of Stockton, Calif., of the First Baptist church, of Stockton, Calif., during that time, he has conducted himself as a Christian gentleman His reputation is as good today as the day when he was called as pastor of this church. His moral character stands without question. As a preacher, Rev. Reed is able and forcible; all of his sermons are filled with the Holy Spirit, intelligence and ably delivered. He leaves his church but by his own request. Since his pastorate here, our church increased largely in membership and efficiency. The property of the church has been increased more than five hundred dollars on account of improvements made under his wise direction. We further recommend him as a rapper, who bends every energy that he has received to the race. In view of the forging, we without reservation, recommend him to the Christian Brotherhood wherever he may go. Use him in whatever field you may, you will find him a conscientious, honest, and trustworthy, Christian gentleman, and a God sent preacher, who preaches a clear cut gospel. The day of the Second Baptist church of Stockton, this 2d day of January 1916. We are yours in Christ. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH OF STOCKTON. Mrs. E. Freeman, Church Clerk. This is to certify that the bearer, Rev. G. W. Reed, is a member of the Stockton Ministerial Union, and as such is affectionately commended to the fellowship of the Ministerial Association at Los Angeles, or wherever he may present this letter. It is the unanimous vote of this body that we most heartily commend our brother, and will cherish in memory, his fine Christian character, and utility as a minister of the gospel of our Lord. HORACE E. BEEKS Secretary Stockton Ministerial Union. January 3d, 1916. After the expiration of the time of his resignation, he left Stockton, and came immediately to Southern California, preaching as evangelist. For six months, he preached in the churches of Los Angeles and vicinity. During that time, there was added to the various churches where he held revivals, approximately two hundred seventy persons. In June of that year, he was requested to deliver lectures for the Baptist Sunday School Convention, which was held in San Bernardine. He so satisfied the convention with his lectures, that he was elected as Ralph Field's Religious Education of the Western Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Conventions. He has been elected to that position every year since that time. July, 1916, he was called to the pastorate of the Second Baptist church at Riverside. He accepted the church. When he took up the pastorate there, the church was in the act of remodeling. Under his administration, the remodeling was pushed to completion, together with the installation of the heating furnace and an oil tank to supply the furnace with fuel. This was done at a cost of between $600 and $700. Within one year, this amount was paid off, and the church absolutely out of debt, and a small sum left in the treasury. He pastored this church for two years, having resigned the first of January, 1918; but his Number Twenty-Eight FLASH As we lock up the last form of The Soaring Eagle we receive the news of a verdict in favor of J. E. Prowd (Acting Managing Editor) and Ira Smith, foreman of the Eagle Publishing Company in Judge Hahn's Court, Department 20 of the Superior Court, in which they were awarded damages for discrimination and costing a signal triumph, but no much for themselves, but for the Race. These men are to be commended for their zeal and determination when wronged to seek redress, and at their own expense they successfully prosecuted the action with the rebellion ended. Attorney E. Burton Ceruti represented the plaintiffs. resignation was tabled for thirty days. When the thirty days were up, it was tabled indefinitely. During this time, he took sick, and had to go to the hospital in Los Angeles. In April the resignation was taken from the table, accepted, and he recalled; the call being sent to him in the hospital; and having promised the people in San Bernardino that he would come when the time of his resignation had expired, he did not accept a recall to the Riverside church. During his pastorate there, he conducted a Teachers' Training Course; from which course, he had one to graduate at the Sunday School Convention at Watts. Quite a number were added to the church. On leaving the church, he left in full fellowship, with the church, and the regrets of the people at his leaving. The following letter of reference was given him by the Ministerial Union, (white) upon his departure: July17th, 1918. To Members of the Ministerial Union and all others Concerned, S.S. President of the Brehren in Christian Fellowship: I have pleasure and comfort in commending to your fellowship, a minister, the Rev. G. W. Reed, now pastor of our Second Baptist church of this city. He is an active member of our Ministerial Union and Church Fed- eration, the high esteem and prayerful interest of all connected therewith. The appreciation of his activity along lines of initiative and self- support in connection with his Church has deepened into admi- ration. He does things. He brings things to pass. He develops the laborer spirit in his people. I commend him to you as a man worthy of confidence and respect, and co-operation. His connection with REV. G. W. REED L. L. B. the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is added reason for my commendation, and the prayer that you will be able to give co-operation therewith. In prayerful interest for our common work in the Master's Kingdom, believe me. Very fraternally, BENJ. S. HAYWOOD, President of Ministerial Union, Riverside, California. At San Bernardino, He accepted the call to the San Bernardino church, and took up his pastorate there in July, 1818. He served this church nearly two years, and capped the call of this church, it then owed $500.00 on its mortgage indebtedness. Within one year after having taken charge, he burned the mortgage of that church, and paid off small debts, including that of the piano of the church. He resigned this church the latter part of May, 1920. His resignation was accepted wrote with the church, no church call him from that time to (Continued on Page Four) SMITH & WILLIAMS CO. (INC.)

Others. were lulready beating a retreat,” having |taken the big policeman's word for |for it. All this on a Sunday morning in August when at most churches the {faithful few comfort themselves with [the fiction that everybody's out of | town, |__ At the chapel entrance. alongside [you could see, through the door | glass., a grave elder shaking his head jt another group of early comers. Whereat a lady with a lovely rasp to her r’s indignantly declared that it Was high-handed buzz-ness to turn away people who had paid their dues faithtully during 35 years. Well, it made me fairly chuckle to see it all —and this on an August Sunday morning, mind, when. everybody's out of town. | I was at length shoved in—though I contegs it did seem like rushing in- {fo a lite-boat ahead of women and children—and shown where to stand till after the invocatnon was finish- rd. And I heard the soft voice . of the man who had drawn this multi- |tude together in Knox ehurch. He | Was-plainly talking to his God: de- | Werately talking in a low, earnest tone about the people coming _to- | kether to get bread, and by the pro- | found stillness T took it that that au- ‘dience was a million miles or ‘more from being a mob, a term’ sometimes applied in doubting Thomases when- lever pews are well filed. ‘Thea we were fairly hustled on to thé plat- form to seize the last seats even there. “Behind us the choir ‘loft was Packed with people; beneath! us, the pulpit steps were jammed: ahead of us, the gallery crammed—an.éager, decent looking throng. gatheted to chbrch on an August Sunday. morn- ing wien everybody's out of town. ‘The pteacher’s skin was ebony, and he bad @ big face, lonely eyes, broad shoulders and—oh. what a voice’ Does it require halt:a dozen generations of slavery, with its Ferushings and heart-breaks and de- j§pairs. to produce such a voice?

We appreciate the fact that on account of the sort of battle our printers are fighting that both readers and correspondents will readily excuse us. A CASE AT POINT. The Moving Picture Industry sends out a clarion call for the people to not judge the whole of a group for whatever act one member of that group might commit. This call is a just one highly meritorious and appeals to the consideration of all peoples who believe in fair play. We will be the last ones to condemn a whole group of people for the act, no matter how base or pernicious which one member of that group commits. But on the other hand let us say to the people of this great industry, at this particular time when men and women are prone to cast aspersions upon their calling (which are unjust) and say to them that they must now realize as it brought home to them how unfair and unjust it is for a race to be condemned because of some vicious act of some degenerate member thereof and if so join in at this time with all the sons of fair play and render unto even the humblest citizens regardless of race, color or creed, the same consideration which at this time is asked for the people of this great and grand industry.

On leaving this charge, the following letters of reference were sent him by the Ministerial Union of that city, and the Rev. Fish, pastor of the First Baptist Church (white): June 1, 1920 Rev. G. W. Reed. Los Angeles, Calif. Dear Brother Reed: We wish to express to you our appreciation for the service you rendered us, as a member of our association. Your helpful suggestions will be missed in our meetings, and we regret very much that you are leaving our city, but we congratulate you in that you have found a larger field for greater usefulness. Assuring you of our interest in you and your new work, and hoping that you will be blessed with much success, we are Sincerely yours. SAN BERNARDINO MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION By Fred A. Hughes, Secretary. Attest: L. J. Millikan, Pres. To the Los Angeles Baptist Ministerial Association: It is my pleasure to know Bro. G. W. Reed. He was pastor of New Hope Baptist church of this city. I am sorry to miss him from this city. We have fun respect for his devotion and ability. I trust that you and he will have good fellowship together. Afterwards, he was called to the pastorate of the Mount Zion Baptist church of Los Angeles. He was called to this church, the latter part of May, and then to charge the second Sunday in June. On coming to the church, he found it in a very sad condition, having recently been split, and the members scattered; only a few attending any of the services. He found the church owing nearly $2,000 on its mortgage indebtedness, and other small accounts. Within one year after accepting the church, he paid off more than half of the mortgage indebtedness, leaving the church at this time owing only a little over $800 on its mortgage indebtedness. The interest has been kept up regularly, to the last payment. Quite a number have been added to the church, and it has now a front line Sunday school. He conducted; a Teachers' Training Course at this church for the past year, and last July, five graduated from the Teachers' Training Department. A few weeks ago, he resigned this the church being out of the zone of charge on account of the location colored people; therefore making it impossible for the work to grow, and desiring to do larger work, he felt it necessary to resign to take up the work where his services would be of greater advantage; and also having accepted the position of Corresponding Secretary of the Western Baptist Association, and at the request of the Executive Board, he is to take up the Field work for the purpose of placing the programme of the Association before the churches for the next three months. His Activities Along Civil Lines During his five years stay in Stockton, California, the following was achieved eitherby his leadership or his participation: January, 1913, one of the largest and most effective Emancipation celebrations was carried out: at which time, he was the principal speaker. This meeting was held in one of the largest balls in Stockton, and was said-to be a record breaker along the line of race meetings. In the same year, working in connection with Mr. D. W. Boyden, the Dunbar Literary Society was organized with Mr. Boyden as president, and the Rev. G. W. Reed, chairman of the Executive Board. Working shoulder to shoulder, the two consumed a progressive program. Among the concrete things done, was that of establishing a park for the pleasure of the young people. The expenses for the institution of this park were paid for by the colored people of Stockton, under the auspices of the Literary Society, and the Executive Board. It proved a mecca for the colored young people, seeking pleasure in that city. Rev. Reed has the distinction of being the first colored man of that city to have the honor of delivering the speech of the evening on Washington-Lincoln Birthday Anniversary, under the auspices of the W.R.C., a white organization. He also was one of the principal speakers at the Golden Jubilee of the Congregational church (white) of A. that city. He also conducted an ice cream parlor and grocery store where he employed at times as many as six persons of the race. He made the initial fight in that city against the appearance of the Clansman. A few years later, as a result of his fight, and with the activities of Mrs. Hamilton, the Clansman was prevented from showing at that place. His leaving was regretted not only by his own people, but by the white people as well. Numerous requests have come to him to return to that city. While at Riverside, working together with Mrs. Perey Carter, the N. A. A. C. P. was established. The yearly memorial services for the late Booker T. Washington were held. He participated and assisted in getting on the police force, a regular uniform colored policeman in that city. Backed by the Committee of Redress and Legislation of the N. A. A. C. P. he acted as spokesman before the City Council of Riverside, and stopped that he affections play, the Clansman, which was billed to play the next day. During his two years of service at San Bernardino, he was very active there in civil life. January 1, 1919, with the commendable assistance of W. S. Johnson, president of the San Bernardino branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and the Riverside branch and also the assistance of 'Mr. Byron Rowan, one of the old settlers of San Bernardino, he promoted and staged the first Emancipation Day parade, held in the West. The daily papers commended the parade very highly. The parade depicted the life of the Negro from the days of slavery to the present date. He had the honor of being one of the speakers in this city at the celebration of the signing of the Armistice; which meeting was held in Pioneer Park, nearly ten thousand people being present. He also had the honor of being requested to deliver an address to the Polytechnic High school of that city. Work Done Along General Lines for Since the first year of his coming to the state of California, he has been earnestly engaged in assisting in the development of his denomination along all lines. The first office held was that of General Secretary of the Sacramento Valley District Convention, which office he held for three years; and while such secretary, he was made chairman of the Young Peoples' Chautauqua Committee, and directed the promotion of that meeting, the following being accomplished: The meeting was held in McKinley Park, Sacramento, for nine days. It was an inspirational and educational affair. Hundreds attended this great meeting. This was in 1914. When he left Northern California to come to Southern California, he was then the President of the Sacramento District Convention, and was Corresponding Secretary of the Convention for two years. During his administration as Secretary, the work of the Convention flourished. In Southern California as director of the Religious Education, he directed the great Chautauqua which was successfully held in Riverside the summer of 1919. Under his direction, there has also been organized in almost every church, a Teachers' Training Course, with an aggregate membership of more than one hundred, and several have graduated from the Religious Educational Department of the Sunday School Convention. At the request of the Western Baptist Association, he participated in, along with others, the organizing of the Pacific Slope Baptist Convention in Seattle, January, 1920; he having taken such an active part in bringing about the organization, he was elected as its first president, and was reelected at the meeting held in Los Angeles last October. The above is only a partial history of the activities of Rev. Reed during his ten years of service in the State of California. Since he has been in this state, he has proven himself a Christian gentleman, a man of great organizing ability, and has made good at almost everything that he has been appointed or elected to do. He is considered among the great preachers of the Pacific Coast. His reputation along this line extends from the Northwest to the Southwest. He is held in high esteem by the people of California. Since he resigned Mount Zion Baptist church, we understand that several requests have come to him to take charge of certain churches, as well as developing a new field in a section of the city where such is needed. At this writing, he has not consented, as we understand, to accept either of these propositions, but we predict for him, success, should he take a charge where there is a chance for development, or for promotion of a new field in this city. We welcome such men as he, to our field of labor in California. Now listen. I am only hunting the old thrown-down work, that has been worked over and pronounced ineurable; that is my job.

On page eight of this issue we call attention to a poetic dissertation composed by Mr. Clarence Coleman and dedicated to his father, the pioneer Employment Agent and livewire in this community in every forward movement. Mr. Coleman has developed a poetic strain and of every happening which he notes forms a base for his poetic construction. He is employed by the Glambaston Co., and at a recent trial with which that Company was concerned Coleman described it in poetic form, for which he received the complements of his employees and words of encouragement. The Eagle man of encouragement is young man and his ambition, as well as his skill of assembling ideas and ravying the same. J. W. Coleman, his sire, always alert, gives the additional encouragement by making it possible for the same to go out to themy thousands of readers for the Scaring Eagle. CALL FOR YOUR MAIL.

One of the most beautiful, and indeed one of the most enjoyable social events of the season was the reception tendered Mrs. Belle Mills of the Capital City by Mrs. Sarah Middleton Monday evening of last week. Mrs. Mills is one of the most prominent residents of Sacramento, who had been visiting here for several days as the house guest of the hostess, than whom none is more superior, summoning her to entertain and having them feel hospitalitya warmth and the easy grace of boundless welcome. The Middletown residence, 1111 E. 11th street, ever a place of "Home, Sweet Home," beauty and long, long ago reputed a domain wherein choice and kindred spirits found delightful revelry and hearty good cheer, but for this special occasion this well appointed and palatial home had been transformed into a veritable realm of rich loveliness. Beautiful flowers, giving off their fragrant perfume; ferns of rare growth, portrayed charms of refreshing gracefulness as only ferns can, and the lights shed rays of tinted softness that made a setting befitting Fairy's reception, or for the entertainment of Olympic's gods. The hostess, one amongst the first families of the city, had summoned in her inimitable style a host of her admiring friends to assist her in doing honor to this much to be honored guest within our gates. And merrily they came from all parts of a throbbing, hospitable city, representing some of the most highly esteemed families of whom Angelenos delight to point with pardonable pride. They came, matron and maid, beautifully gowned; fire and son groomed fit to courtesy a queen. They honored our guests, among whom were Mrs. J. O. Miller. New York City; the Misses Brandon and Hon. J. M. Frierson, Grand Eminent Commander of Knight Templars of Texas, and Potentate Doric Temple. Houston, Texas, with the style and grace of culture and refinement form of noble birth. As introductions were made and acquaintances were acknowledged and amid the dim of cheerful conversation or the tinkling of bunch glasses, soft strains of enchanting music could be heard. Refreshing dainties were served in abundance by young matrons in style as graceful, as in manner so tantalizingly pleasant. The moments tripped cheerfully along and in a shop while, in too short awhile it was time to bid adieu. "Twas so hard to break away; so hard to leave it all to say good-bye. The wonder is; 'Was it a dream?' No, Twas a reception given in honor of Mrs. Belle Mills by her amiable amiable hostess, Mrs. Sarrah Middleton. Mrs. Sarah P. Shores, 354 E. 11th street, entertained at, breakfast Wednesday morning in honor of Mrs. Wm. Mills of Berkeley. Mrs. Rhoda Harriford of Bakersfield and Melvine Clemmens of Austin, Texas.

CALHOUN, Public Stenographer; your private letters and legal Papers correctly drawn NOW LISTEN! NOW LISTEN! BE FAIR TO YOURSELF, YOUR FAMILY, AND READ THIS "Washington, Sept. 9.—The cost of living will be higher this winter. "This is the virtual ultimatum prediction of government officials, economists, bankers and businessmen as a result of careful study of the price situation and general conditions. However, economic experts in public and private service see in a price rise a sure indication that the country is striding back to normal once more. "Food prices are already on the increase in the principal cities, the United States Labor Department announced officially today. SHOWS INCREASE "Bradstreet's index of wholesale prices shows now an increase after 13 months of steady decline. "Various economists have noted and announced the same trend and predicted its continuance. "The encouraging thing about High Prices, economists say, is that it means "equilibrium and stability." "They explain that prices which declined sharply are now coming up to meet those which did not fall so far. No expert has yet satisfactorily explained why those which did not fall should not now go down to meet those that did, instead of the low ones coming up to meet the high ones "American consumers might as well abandon hope that pre-war prices again prevail, the experts warn. "Government figures show the cost of living never has dropped to the 1913 level. "The same figures show also that there is a bigger margin of profit today somewhere between the wholesaler and consumer than there was in 1913." The cost of living greater this coming winter. Even greater than what it is now.

NIGHT'S RESULTS. Young Sam Langford, (133 lbs.), knocked out Benny King one round. Battling Brown (165), knocked Ted Frenchie (155), knocked out Harlam, Kid. 2, rounds. Hafram Kham 118, knocked out Mahley 118, knocked out Flush, Sharer 2 rounds The greatest fight crowd of the season wedged into Alexander Park Wednesday night to witness six fast four-round bouts, and nobody went away displeased. Young Sam Langford, a lightweight with a future, waded into a Mulatto boy named Benny King and in less than one minute & 10 seconds King was wreathing on the canvas and was counted out by Referee Arthur Collins. A pair of mountainous looking men, 165 pounders Battling Brown and Kid Shackleford, stood at long range and slugged at each other for three rounds; the Kid felt that he had had enough in the third and simply layed down; Brown had a hay maker in his right arm which he layed against his heel, and when he brought it over and it landed it was curtains. After taking the count of nine in the opening round, Jimmy Adams managed to hug and stall through four rounds with Fighting Shields; both were clever 133 pounders and the fans took Shields' victory, graciously; this pair should be rematched. Battling O'Neal on, danced and squatted around the ring for two rounds and then was flipped into his own corner when Kid Mack brought him out of his mud-turtle crouch with a left upper-cut to the chin and his head rested heavily on the lower rope until helped to his chair. Ted Frenchie thoroughly convinced the skeptics that he is the Harlem Kid's master by stretching the Harlemite on the mat for a quiet snooze in the second session; in last week's battle the New Yorker claimed that Ted had fouled him, so this was a real grudge fight and some mill while it lasted. In the main show of two fast stepping little bantamweights, Flash Slater had picked out a nice soft spot to take hay in long before Kid Manley in the second uncorked his shifty right to the Flash's paper chewing aparatus; this pair might well be re-matched to see what's the idea. A classy card is being arranged for next Wednesday night. GIANTS TAKE TWO MORE NINTH ROUND VICTORIES FROM PUBLIC SERVICE, 10-9, SATURDAY 9-8 SUNDAY: PLAYERS LAY DOWN ON BAUGH. The "Wild Cat" crew, in both the week-end and Sabbath shows barely got into the win column with the scientific aid of a well oiled shoe horn, winning the pair in the last round by one point, and thereby humiliating the high-spirited taff-payers team, the Public Service nine, 10 to 9 Saturday and 9 to 8 Sunday. The mop day battle 10 was a brain fagger between gunner Ford Tally 56 of the city employee's outfit and South Paw Gene Cooper, who waged a teeter-totter warfare against each other, with Gene getting most of the tea in the finals. Everybody knocked the leather all over the Vernon district for a total of 23 bingles and 19 checks, which is almost enough for a summer season, but the thing was hot all the time and the ticket purchasers were kept on their toes By WILLIAM M. WATSON all the while yelling for some hero to break up the sea-saw affair, which was accomplished in the last session when McLaughlin doubled left; Captain Pullen advanced him a cushion with a single, Blackman strolled freely to first base after his leader had appropriated the keystone station, which left the corners drunk, while the score stood nine all and nobody dead. Johnny Baugh (who was playing rightfield in the absence of Butcher who is on the flick list), sent the majority of the crowd home rejoicing by lambasting one infield for a squeeze scoring Mack as all hands rushed from the field. Sunday Show Full's Pop. The Sabbath meeting was bristling with fire and brimstone all through the matinee period. Both teams stacked up enough miscues to last 'em a coup'sla seasons, a grand total of ten, seven being the property of Neal Pullen and his henchmen. Every Giant, including Johnny Baugh, seemed to be all soaked up with a full grown grouch, and Baugh, who was unfortunately doing mound duty and while he is known to be the most valuable man on the team, he also acknowledged to be the most unpopular with his mates as a result, and the outcome of a mess of phony plays in which Baugh was partially to blame, so he was made the goat. Mates Lay Down. For three rounds Johnny heaved great ball; the one tall in the first off three balls before Baugh was warmed up was the only legitimate run made by the visitors, as from then on the Giants began to cut up; if a ball was hit anywhere but into a fielder's unwilling palms all runners were permitted to chase around two or three bases until he was exhuiled and stopped; if a ball did fly into, the outfield, the runner was sate a mite, as even Goldy Davis, who had missed but three fly balls in his 17 months playing with the Giants, let the olive leak through his fins; it looked as though father time is playing havoc with Henry McLaughlin, and we might also wink at Papa Anda Kyle, as these birds muff everything these days. Seeing that the boys were bent on treating him precisely as they did last year while Bill Pettus was captain of the team, Baugh became more fretful than ever, he forgot himself once in the 4th, inning and threw the ball on the ground with a runner on first base and one on second and each closed up on one base which ran the stuff up into captain Pullen's neck to the extent of threatening to extricate Johnny from the same. The thing dragged on until the sixth when in an attempt to catch a runner off at 1st, base, Baugh threw to Blackman six times, the last time the apple core careened off of Blackman's ear and landed somewhere in the vicinity of Hooper Ave, while the runner crossed the plate of course Pullen gave vent to his feelings by sending Johnny to the shower which may or may not, have been correct under the circumstances but certainly looked bad for the fans who have the "Johnny Baugh fever" many of whom are more willing to pay to see Baugh pitch a Sunday game than to see the entire other 17 men on the diamond. We don't care to discuss this angle of the situation further than to say, Co-operation and team work is what the Giants need and not jealously and friction in their ranks the L. A. White Sox which propose to re-organize this fall are looking for just such a break, so "beware."

Rev. Carter read 13:1 Cor. Prayer by Rev. Skinner; solo by Mrs. Jackson. "The Holy City," Mrs. Jackson sang as never before. Dr. Griffith's words were, "The Resurrection of Love." John 19:41; Matt. 24:5-6. "Beautiful was the Garden of Joseph of Crimatra, but while taking his hearers through he paused to say that in the midst of the garden there was a tomb, so he pictured the world, the state, the home and the church as the beautiful gardens, and while we strolled with him through these beautiful gardens with eyes of tears, he paused to say, in each garden there is a tomb, but he gave joy to his hearers when he proved that love had a resurrection. All who heard will never forget this sermon. Two were baptized and three joined the church at the close of the morning service. The evening service was well attended. Rev. Carter read of the 12th chapter of Heb. Prayer by Rev. Lambert. Dr. Griffith text was from Heb. 2:3. "Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith: who for the joy that was set before Him endured the Cross, despising the sham and is sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." His theme was, "Running the Race." A blessed day spent in the old Baptist church. Dr. Griffith is truly a great preacher and the 2nd Baptist church has done herself honor by calling him, for we believe him to be a true shepherd, a pastor and a safe leader. On last Tuesday evening, the 6th inst., the church assembled in special call meeting and unanimously called Dr. Griffith as pastor. There was great rejoicing, for he hath truly found a place deep in the hearts of this people. Dr. Griffith has been with us and preached for the last five Sundays, holding his hearers spell-bound. He left Monday evening, the 12th inst., for Des Moines, Iowa, his home, to make ready his return to Los Angeles, where he will take up the work of the church. Dr. Griffith has two daughters and two sons, the youngest being fifteen years. We wish him all that is good and pleasant and a safe return. Next Sunday we will be honored with another stranger, who will be visiting in the city, Dr. Hall of Aalanta, Ga. All are invited to hear him. SECOND AM.E. CHURCH— 1736 East 53rd Street. Rev.

The Sunday School and League meetings were good. The pastor and trustees are asking for $700 next Sunday to complete the obligation of the renovation transaction. The work is about complete and is a credit to all who helped to make it possible.

At 6 p. m. the B.T.P.U. after a very good lesson, was favored by a splendid program by the junior members of the Union. At 8 p. m. Rev. S. H. Jennings preached. His text was, "For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior." This was another gospel treat. Rev. Jennings was guided by the Holy Spirit, as he was called upon on the spur of the moment. One soldier enlisted in the army. Pastor Holt is expected here, next Sunday. You are cordially invited to attend services at St. Paul. Many visitors were present at both services. WARD CHAPEL A.M.E. CHURCH— 1250 E. 25th Street. Rev. J. Edw. McCorkle Minister The pastor will occupy the pulpit at both services next Sabbath, preaching on the subject of "Steadfastness" at the morning hour. The services of the past Sabbath were up to the standard in attendance and spirit of worship. Every week is marked with some advancement. The dramatic entertainment, "The Temple of Fame," presented by Mrs. Vinita Pryor on Tuesday night past, was one grand success from every angle of vision. The staging of the play and the decorations wero of themselves an entertainment; the standing capacity house was an inspiration and an aid to the splendor of the evening, and each participant acquitted themselves nobly. Every character is deserving of personal mention with comment upon the part played, but economy of space confines our remarks to a brief mention of the "impersonations," which were the following: "The Imperial Queen." Mrs. Cranshaw; "Sapho," Mrs. Edna Hill; "Diogines," Mr. T. A. White; "Maud Miller." Mrs. L. B. Hallway; "Ruth," Mrs. J. G. Edmund; "Queen Zenobia," Mrs. E. White; "Rothchild," Mr. F. A. Daniels; "Red Cross Nurse," Miss Addie Davis; "Queen Cleopatria," Mrs. V. Robinson; "Columbus and Lief." Messrs. Hill and Carter; "Carry Sisters." Mrs. McClain and Mrs. Leathe; "Madam Selica," Mrs. C. Green; "Bluebeard." "Charity," Mrs. M. Bisco; "Famous Cook," Mrs. R. L. Carter; "Harriei Beecher Stowe and Topsy," Mrs. A. Manuel and Iverlee Carter; "Florence Nightengale," Mrs. J. E. McCorkie; "Hager," Mrs. Nelson Pryor; "Queen Esther," Mrs. A. Devera; "Joan of Arc," Mrs. Loupe; "Columbia," Mrs. C. R. Ransom; Mrs. Lucile Brown, pianist. The door receipts will amount to $70. Ward Chapel is a progressive church with a profitable program. All are welcome. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C-ME. CHURCH Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor. A crowded house greeted the pastor at the morning service on the past Lord's day. The pastor preached to the delight and edification of the congregation on "Perseverance." The service was blessed with the presence of the Holy Spirit and the hearts of the people of God were made glad as the message was brought in demonstration and power. The pastor also preached at the evening service to a splendid congregation. This service was also very enjoyable. There were five additions to the membership of the church during the day. The choir sang to the delight of the people at both services. The members are paying in their conference claims nicely. The pastor and officers urge that the members do not delay in the payment of this important claim. Great plans are being made for the entertainment of the annual conference which meets at this church on the 19th of October. Strangers and visitors always find a hearty welcome at all the services of this fast growing, progressive church. Come where a real gospel message awaits you and where the old-time fire is burning. Rav. A. P. Shaw, Pastor. Sunday was up to the usual Ram standard. The pastor preached morning and evening, and three pe- sons united with the church. We are now featuring our evening service. The gospel chorus was out in full force and rendered a half hour of soul cheering song, service. They will be present this Sunday evening in larger numbers. Come and hear them sing. It will do you good. The pastor will preach great revival sermons. Morning subject, "What Is It To Be a Christian?" Evening subject, "The Religious Slacker and What Will Become of Him?"

Four were added to our church membership. CHRISTIAN CHERCH— Rev. M. Frederick, Minister. We had one of our very best services last Sunday. The morning service was delivered by Rev. G. C. Coleman. Bro. Coleman delivered an excellent discourse upon the subject, "The Blood of Jesus." The audience was highly pleased with his efforts. The official Board of the church made an encouraging report of the doings of the church for the month of August. Sunday night, Rev. L. J. McConnell, one of our able white ministers, was present with us and gave us a fine message. Rev. McConnell was well pleased with the interest and showing that our church is making. He left us uplifted, with the assurance of his support. The contest between the men and women is steadily growing in interest. Our cottage prayer meetings are proving quite a success.

Coleman's Employment office, that stands in fame, I's 211 Bast Second Street, which carries his name, ‘It's a big place of business, and small in its size | Which is easy to locgte, as its’on the North Side, "Ho has a strict eye for business, that everybody knows, And handles his customers, without getting on his toesy the phones are kept busy, ringing early ‘and late | So there is no chance, to come there ang wait. ‘The rules in‘his office, are best-in town, Says, do not smoke here, when the ladies are around, ’ 'As:men are so large, and have pretty large feet. ‘They must always be polite, and give ladies a seat. ‘ om come there to laugh, although theysare low And some come there for jobs, that was never on the book Some come there to laugh, although the@are low ‘And would rather come there, than a moving: Picture Show. Ho tries much in vain, to give everybody work After leaving the office, they will go out, and shirk He gets much disgusted, and says many’a time Its no use going out, if you cant stand the grind. ' They will stand up, and argue, and ask for a chance, | And tell Mr. Coleman, what they did over in France, | ‘Mer getting thelr letter. out to a car they will take, And will pass by the house, which is out in West Lake. | ‘The conductor they will ask. “Where am I going this way?” | With their letter in their pockets, that they carried all day Why look at your letter, and then you will see. ‘The place you are going to, and don’t ask me. | ‘ ‘The ni¢e looking young lady, tat had just came in, Wore « smile on her face-although she was thin, : After asking for the fee. which was one dollar-and-a-quarter, She then thought she'd have a jcb made to her order. The man over in the corner, that looks much disguised, Sits all day in the office, and tries to look wise, He siniles at the ladies, as they enter the door, And these are the things, that makes Coleman sore. “Miss Ashfotd, the stenographer, who works faithful, and glad Is the best little lady, Mr. Coleman ever had, She is quiet and industrious, and very quick’ with a thought And when, Mr. Coleman gets busy, he will call her daught. | ‘Tho phones that she answers, are ringing all day For Mr. Coleman, to send out, a man that will stay,, | ‘The Jap they just hired, to clean up the lawn + Had worked ten minutes, and then he was gone, ‘Tho rough Icoking man, that looked hard as brass, | Coleman sent to the job, where the Jap couldn't last | Now. if all colored people, would do-the same thing, 1 ‘They would turn over Los Angeles, and make them a king. A young lady came in, who about-eighteen years old, Came way from Pasadena, just the way she was told, ““Twant an easy position, where there is absolutely no men, “Where I can sleep in tho mornings, and go to work about ten’ Now the funpiést thing, that I ever saw, After paying their fee, they begin to stall. Instead: of going to the job, and making the day, They will stop up town, to'a movie play. When she gets to the Job, the lady will say, “I'm sorry; little Migs, I couldn't wait all day. “I don’t think I can use you, in which you are late, “So good-bye, and dan’t bother me, and please shut the gate.” She came back very angry, which everybody could see, But when Coleman got throngh talking, she was up in a tree. Now to explain this little matter, to the world that doesn't kn This is one of the reasons, they hit Coleman such a blow. ‘Phis way of doing business, 1s not right you can see, But {f you. stay around this office, you will always believe, For their Fees they come back, which is wrong at the least. But if you hesitate a moment, they want to call the police. Mr. Coleman stands" up, for nothing, but what's right- But this little incident happened, its just one of the sighis, Now it people would realize, just before they consent. Mr. Coleman pays license, and a big office rent... - Just then, a college-girl came in, and sat down with ease, But when her turn came, she was Very hard to please. She got much indignant, and called Coleman a crank, And said she was out looking for a job in the bank, A 200 pound woman, who came in to rest, i Sat there for an hour, entertaining the guests. She did not seem bothered, as she came in alone, And thought she would make her little self at: home. Tho lady that drove up, in a big limousine, ‘ Wore so many diamonds, you would think she was a queen. She stepped to the side-walk, and Into the office she went, To get another-girl, Where Mr. coleman just sent. See here, Mr. Coleman, another maid is what I want, | One that fs quick, as a flash, and can handle a mop, | She must be very intelligent, when she goes to the door, | And.receive my company, without making a roar. | | Madame, the kind of girl you want, I can readily see, | And will be out to your piaie about quarter past three.

COLEMAN'S AUTOMOBILE TROUBLES. | The first car he bought, many times he would fix, ; | ‘Was a'7-passenger Touring, and called the Big Winton-Six; | And rode Iike a chariot ‘and was very slow, re ‘But when he passed 12th and Central they were all rareing to go: | The Big Mitchell was next, and had power to. burn, But was not very handy on a left-hand turn. 7 It was fast on the roads, and had speed on the hills, But when a tire blew out, there was always a bill. Up in Oakland, Cal., just a few months ago, The Grand Lodge met, where there never was snow; I will admit it’s a little chilly, but not enough to freeze, But down in Los Angeles we have good honey and bees. After receiving a message that the Grand Lodge would be there. Mr. Coleman got wild, and went into despair. He thought about autos, which are dangerous with rain, And once he decided to try an air-plane. - Of course airplanes are fait, and the air is very lean,. . But often talking over the mattér, hia wife wanted a machine. It didn't matter to Mr: Coleman just how he should go, Because the Grand Lodge was in Oakland, and he Wanted to show. He got busy| with agencies, and the words he did say, Was to send down a car t hat will be there, . ¢ “All right,” Mr. Coleman, ‘the car will be there, 7 All Breased np and shining, and a couple of Spare"’s The Big-Twin-Six Lozier, that was the first on the list, = Had so many cylinders that she would begin to miss. It was painted dark-red, and had a swell one-man top, But the noise shé was making would wake up a Cop. When he started for Oakland, with 500 miles in-his face, At the edge of the city limits, out went the crank-case. Of course this was sad, for the pegute in the car, Who ‘spoke about Oakland and ndering how far ‘The next thilig he did, he sent a flash to the Store me ‘fo send him another car, as he would try it once more. ‘They sent hin a Reo, which was pretty Little-Six; And also a garantee that there was nothing to fix The chauffeur he hired to drive his machine, . | Claimed he could drive, but was a little bit green; Inetead of him driving, like a civilized man, ‘The first thing we’ knew, we were over in-the sand When he got up the speed to forty-five | He said to Mr. Coleman, “are you still alive?” “I was when I left, but now I can't say. At the rate we are going,this will be our last day. He carried us so fast, through villages and towns, We did not havt time to even look around. So you see, the way this man steps on the gas, It would be utterly impossible for any car to pass. + When we began to give her gas some more, An attempt was made to jump out the door. When the speed-ometer began to read eighty-nine A woman in the car hollered out, “thats fine.” Two Motor Cops we pass, on the Lincoln Highway, Were waiting for business, to make the full day. They tore out for the “Reo,” that was traveling so fast, So Jack gaid to Bill, “I don't think we can last."' This kind of driving is veby dangerous, you see, —- But all he would says, “just leave it to me.” The men tried to smoke, and the woman tried to laugh, But the man at the wheel was still pressing on the gas. When they got out on the desert where no garages, but sand, It looked to the crowd like No-Man’s Land. Then all in a sudden there was a big noise below, ‘That made the-car stop and refuse to go. After jumping out the car and raising the hood, The engine was running, but did all it could. The noiso it was making was like a tin can, And the bearings, were scattered gll over the sand. When the women got excited and went up in the air; . They walked back to the station, to get a phone that was there; When they called up Mechanic about the troubles they had, They sent a man out in a Ford to make everybody glad. | After pulling off his coat, and the bearings he picked up, ‘That were scattered on the boulevard and some jn the ruts. After finishing up the job the Mechanic would say, “If you expect to get to Oakland, you must drive the other way.” ‘The, chaueffeur took it easy, as he was advised, So they artived up in Oakland without walking ties. a Both women and men, who had children at there, side, - Had been waiting several days for Mr. Coleman to arrive. ‘The hotels and cafes that are open all night = Took in Coleman's crowd. which they said was sight. * After cleaning up themselves and into the dining-room they went, Mr. Coleman began to count up the money he had spent. Hy Fried chicken and oysters, and the Porter-house steaks, Were served on the table just for Mr. Coleman's sake. 3 . The Grand Lodge membefs, who ate hearty and fast, ee Were wondering all the time how long Mr. Coleman would last. He was game to the core, and had a pleasant look;” When he don’t have the.change he would write a chck from his bool So when they went out riding and to the parks. on the hills, And Mr. Coleman was the man to pay all the bills. He toook them to many places, and across the bay they would go, To the ae of San Francisco, where he'd make another show. As they were: all out having such a time of their life; He spent so much money he forgotabout his wife. ‘These things Ho not happen every week, and every day. But when you are out with a crowd, there is no time to play; When they came back to Los Angeles, which some were very glad, They thanked Mr. Coleman highly for the good times they had. He's had long’ experience, dealing with automobiles, - And riow there’s another Agency right behind his. heels. Now what he will get in hia,mind is not fixed; # But [think he contemplated trying a Hudson Super-Six. The Hudsgn Super-Six, that js known all over town, ? “a Has a sweet running motor, and g pretty little sound. It is known for its speed, with a small up-keep and repairs, And on, very, pteep bilfé they call jt Bear. $ There are colored people that: own Hudson cars, | | Because their record is clean, andthey carry no sears. Now down on Central Avenue, when you are looking around, You will'see'more Hudson-Supers than any other place in town. Harold L.
