During the third degree examination by the police department Mrs. Payne made a complete confession, exonerating her husband, and claiming that she was living in misery and unhappiness, and wished to have her husband lynched in order to get him out of the way. She wetted bitterly when she declared she was forced to marry against her will and to a man she did not love. After much persuasion Mrs. Payne consented to explain the reason in a signed statement of her purpose for writing the poison-pen notes. Annie Payne's Statement "I, Annie W. Payne, of my own free will and accord, make the following statement in regards to the letters that I willingly acknowledge writing to Mrs. — —, and in a feeble way will try to explain why: "Since my marriage I have not been treated right. If I had been let marry who I wanted to my life would have been different, but my mother, thinking, I wanted to shape my autonomy, and, I am sorry, to say her sorrow. I was never allowed to go about and mingle with the 'social' class of girls and boys. My mother having very strict religious ideas, being a member of the 'Sanctified' community, we were led in by another's blind impulse to do the right thing, and therefore made an unhappy marriage. "After marrying, I tried to make the best of it, but by abuse and mistreatment has made my life very unhappy. I was very ill, but I can't, and my people always in some way try to keep us together. "In September, 1917, my home was broken up by my husband, J. S. Payne, getting into some difficulty with the family. I was a girl, I girl, I asked him to grant me a divorce, as I have been mistreated by him. I've been beaten and knocked about and have had so much trouble that I was three and one-half years) that I've worried until I can't stand it any longer. I fear him, as he has more than once threatened my life, and will not grant him. I simply did not agree by writing the letters to me, not meaning any harm to the lady at all. and abroad. The Rev.

Those who rendered musical numbers were Charles Young, Lawrence Chenault, Eddie Gray and Mr. Ledman. Purchased Lot in Graceland Immediately after "Jack's" success he purchased a family lot in Graceland cemetery. This gave the family an opportunity to have Mrs. Johnson placed in the vault in this cemetery, pending a hearing from "Jack," after which the burial will take place. George Kersley of the Emanuel Jackson undertaking establishment, had charge of the automobile funeral. From there he and his friends went to the cemetery. Contrary to the reports of the daily papers, nothing has been heard from Jack. Two cablegraphs have been seen from the York to him at Barcelona, Spain, but they went as far as London and nothing has been heard of them since. War broke out between the transmission. Mrs. Janie Rhodes, sister of "Jack," has received telegrams and letters of sympathy from all parts of the country, and especially from their former home, Galveston, Tex. "I tried to get the letter back, the last one, and even talked with our postman, trying to get courage enough to ask him for it, but couldn't do it. I rang Mrs. — the last time to tell her, not fearing what she would do, I asked her to give me if she only knew, and I frown my husband, ANXIE W. PAYNE." Held on Blackmail Charge A warrant has been issued charging Mrs. Payne with blackmail, and James Payne, her husband, whom she acknowledges to have harbored nothing but hatred, and whom she hoped to have murdered by means of writing the letter, was ordered released from custody.

HELD FOR MURDER OF COBBLER SATURDAY CD I SE City Co Places Thr D IN V SE MA City Council Is Places of Amus Three Thous City Council Is Forced to Close Places of Amusement to Save Three Thousand Saloons The city council in its decree of last Tuesday sounded a die blow to the cabarets throughout the city. They are to be a thing of the past after May 1. The melodious chirping of *Has Anyone Seen Corinne?* must caculate anti-cabaret ordinance which passed in the House on May 6 to 2 sealed the cork on the wine bottle and forever dispensed with the flow of exhilarating beverages in the back rooms of dram shops. The two rooms were closed to adhere to the drastic order that the Crown Court ordered the Moulton Coughlin and Konna.

Saloons in Danger Phillips Has Filed $200,000 Worth in Damage Suits St. Louis, Mo, March 29—Many people wonder why more has not been heard from the damage suits which were supposed to grow out of the riots in the East St. Louis. The reason for this is that the suits are being warded protecting the victim's interests save what has been accomplished by Atty. Homer G. Phillips of this city, who is regular routine of his practice. These legal procedure because of the peculiarity of the law covering the cases and the fact that the field is unexplored. To date Mr. Phillips has filed damage suits against an aggravated suit. No other suits have been filed at this writing, except what he is looking after.

Watch Your Clock Sunday See Page Three PRICE FIVE CENTS VAULT RY 1ST Forced to Close sentment to Save and Saloons cused by constituents of "camouflag- ing" his ordinance by hurting the charge that unites the cabroots, we suppressed the government would close between 3,000 to 4,000 saloons within the five-mile limit zone extending from Grant Park. The threat of a dry Chi- icago is said to have hastened the ordinance which skipped the lid on the cabroots. "How can the United Societies say it is all right to drink and dance under a bar permit, and then say it is wrong do the same thing in a cabaret? This talk is not a proposal in is all hunk" said Alderman Michaelson in his attack on the proposal to stamp out the flow of drinks and dancing in the cabarets. He was backed in his contention by several members of the council, and the cabaret was against the suggestion and are preparing to protest against this discrimination. Alderman Anderson's Suggestion Accepted The first proposal of the council in stamping out the cabaret was that the ordinance should become effective April 12. At this point of the discussion Alderman Isabella protested at the unfairness of the declaration, and urged that ample time be given cabaret owners to adjust their business, and the amendment was accepted by Alderman Toman of the life-license committee and ordered placed in the ordinance, thus extending the time to May 1. The attack on the cabarets is viewed as a harsh measure and the owners of such cabarets are up against a proposition in decoding it permitted of entrance treatment the patrons prefer. The ordinance provides that if the proprietor contemplates continuing the sale of liquor he will have to dispense with such cabarets in permitted the liquor, will have to cease being sold. The ordinance that was passed Tuesday is practically the same one presented to the council last December the brewers. It was offered at at time several young girls become involved in scandals growing out of their tours to well known resorts. The cabaret owners are seriously contemplating taking the matter into court for a final hearing. "I am a Republican," said the orator, "have always been, and will always be. Mine is the party that opened again and bade he speak freely the good news of Mine. Mine is the party that shot the props from under the auction block and made the slave driver cry "Mercy." But I do not be vigilant for my Race, it should be been, nor as it will be if again it is to control the destiny of my government. I speak calmly. "During the address of Col. Simmons that tied two hours and that had the people in his office as they were in their seats, the government of Indiana and Mayor Jewett sat by his side, cheering almost every utterance, palefields of bills, state and judge's courts, sat in the audience spellbound by his masterly plea for his people. How to Forget "In a time like this, when war beckons all to the field, there to make the grand contest," said Col. Simmons, "we must forgive him, we must wem. The teacher must forgive him, but not his rule. The preacher must forget his creed, but not his religion, must forget politics, but not our purpose. That brought down the house, Gov. Goodrich beig the first to come down. Everybody knows Col. Simmons to be the original housekept man. We will stand by the President as he is there; he said, "stand by his life and the people and money. That will teach them loyalty. In 1920 we will accept the commission of the American force to operate the government and from the power of mind over matter." Standing Among Rulers "Note," said Col. Simmons, "note that once my ancestors felt the pain of being born of bondage, and see that tonight, among judges, governors and rulers, speaking up for my country and my party. That is the simple story of my party." Turning to Gov. Goodrich, the orator made a plea for recognition of Race Republicans, "When you come into your kingdom, governor," he said, "and you are around the council board, to remember I stood on the field fighting to gain for you the crown." Col. Simmons and the city-white, "I denounce them and the agents, in Indiana or Mississippi." Mayor Jewett, delivering a response, said that Col. Simmons was the greatest speech ever heard in Indiana. "This speech was on a divine mission, and the audience was chairman, Dr. Sumner A. Furnill, leader of Race Republicans, presidee, and as usual elicited affectionate demonstration from his host of followers, H. C. Furnill, the mayor of Henry Fleming, the organizer, was chairman of the committee. Not only the speech of Colonel Simmons, but also the person of the gathering make it more oracle in the story of Indiana affairs. 1 2 10 9 8 7 6 5 How to Forget PAGE TWO Blue-Rogers Nuptials A Progressive Woman One of Cleveland's noblest and most progressive women is Mrs. William Owens, wife of the late J.

SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1918. 3,000 PEOPLE IN BIG MEETING AT MEMPHIS Memphis, Teen., March 29.—At least twenty-five hundred people packed Avery chapel, on Sunday afternoon, March 17, in an enthusiastic mass meeting, the object of which was to demonstrate the appreciation of the citizens of this section, for the leadership and public utterances of Bishop Thos. F. Tailor (white), who has won two awards and affected the country in this section of country, by reason of the fearless stand which he has taken for the universal uplift of mankind. The meeting was organized by the Bishop of Vernon, pastor of Bishop chapel, and president of the United States' treasury, who has been universally acclaimed as champion of the rights of his people, at this time when every effort is being made to unite more closely the both places in the United States in the meeting. Dr. Vernon called together over one hundred of the leading business and professional men of Memphis and Shelby county, to secure their approval of the plan which he had in mind. The men organized a Committee of One Hundred to foster this move. Then came the wonderful meeting of March 17th, which will go down in the annals of the Race, as a red letter day in this section of the country. The meeting was scheduled for 4:00 p.m. check, and the bishop was rived at the church. Through a long line of prominent Race men, distinguished by badges designed for the occasion, the bishop was escorted across the sidewalk, up the aisle of the church, to the platform, then Bishop McCormick, entirely spontaneously rose to its feet, and extended an ovation such as one might expect would be accorded to the President of the United States. The appearance continued until the venerable bishop fell upon the almost deafened cars of the spectators. Dr. Vernon led upon Rev. M. I. Warfield for the invocation, after which he stated the purpose of the movement, saying that our face had learned a differentiate between friendship and that the honored guest, Bishop Galler, stood as a concrete example of one who exemplified the highest and best in religious and civic life; that he had deferred for equal and exact justice for the poor and for those in his high position, assured standing and eminent public service, all were being utilized to make a better day for all people of the Southland. The Committee of One Hundred of the best men here today to demonstrate, in a pronounced way, their appreciation and approval, and to do all possible to cement the races in an endeavor for better conditions in the South. He then directed the rector of Emmanuel Episcopal church, who in turn introduced the bishop. The bishop then rose and delivered a speech which from beginning to end was optimistic in the superlative. He began by enumerating the elements comprising the life of the Declaration and the pendence every human being is entitled to three rights. Life—that is existence. He has the right to exist. Liberty—he has the right to be independent. The pursuit of happiness—and that means prosperity—has been a three three rights are concerned all men are created equal." The bishop's talk hinged on the fact that the growth of government and life is a question of evolution, and later went on to say that when the Gospel of Jesus was planted on land, then everyone would get all of his rights and privileges, and a new age would begin for mankind, when the great doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the universal brotherhood of men would be paramount. New remarks from Bolton Smith, who stressed the point that our best opportunities await us. Then Dr. Vernon, who had just returned from Washington, where he worked, sent by the Bishop's Council of his church, to confer with President Wilson, relative to the rights and protection of the Race, said in concluding the meeting that the people of the country were in accord with Bishop Galler, in the stand which he had taken for humanity. The meeting came to a close with Bishop Galler, Dr. A. R. Griggs, Dallas, Texas, and the great gathering dispersed, greatly benefited by what they had seen and heard; and all felt that some real work had been done that would encourage understanding between the races. For this meeting had been called, organized and promoted, by men whom the people not only know, but also can trust. The leaders, on this occasion, rang true.

De Priest and His Latest Circular Considered; Observations of the Observer Continued Oscar DePriest submitted his nomination to the Republican voters of the Second Ward and failed. He now is running against the Republican party, and in order to justify this extortionate proposal, he felt obliged to make a statement to his supporters. Having no facts and no intelligent reason for such a course, he draws, as usual, upon his imagination, and manufactures his falsehoods and untruths to deceive and mislead the people. His observer pointed out in these columns, during the primary campaign, the bad record of Oscar DePriest, and his chap and petty schemes to destroy and betray again his Race for his own political and financial gain. This false leader, this betrayer of his Race and ward is again the reason for his in now political turn is his vile and infamous circular of falsehoods, some of which we must consider. Jackson Spoke, Kindly of DePriest Thousands of people heard Mr. DePriest and his speakers, heap upon Major Jackson the vilest and meanest of falsehoods and slander and now he, DePriest, accuses Jackson of what he, DePriest, actually did himself. Every person who heard Major Jackson womanized will testify to the fact that he always referred to Mr. DePriest in the most kindly terms and at no time standardized him or defamed his reputation Bribery and Dishonesty Charged Bribery and dishonesty charged Mr. Dr. Priest says that there was bribery and dishonesty at the polls, and he has not given a statement in his life. He secured the services of a detective agency and had operatives in all the Colored precincts to watch the Colored clerks and judges, men and women of his own Race. He had the election commissioners to send out special watchers from the office police and women of his own Race. He had all the Colored policemen called down before the chief of police and charged them with campaigning. They denied the charge. He was present when the vote was canvassed by the election commissioners, and when the count was completed showing that Jackson had won a fair race. 498 votes, he acknowledged that Jackson had won and he was not heard to complain. Now, after doing all these things which, he has been accused of, the honesty and integrity of our Colored judges and clerks of election, and having been defeated in the fairest counting of the votes, under the eyes of his own detective agency, that has ever been held in the Second Word, he has been accused of dishonesty at the polls. On the other hand, Major Jackson had no detections, did not ask for any special watchers from the election commissioners office, made no complaint against the police of his own Race, trusted in the honesty and integrity of his people, placed his cause in the hands of the people and won. That's what I call a man. How Workera Were Treated All of Major Jackson's workers, old residents and new comers, gave good service on primary day, and were paid for their services when the polls closed. It is said such is not the case with the workers in the other camp, some of them having not received their pay to have only a "promise" in their pockets. DePriest Attacked Whites Mr. DePriest preached "race hatred" throughout his entire campaign, published in his pamphlet that he was going to make, and took charge of the white people with arousing race hatred against him. Surely he must be loser, but he is the best political necoborn born. He is different kind of somersault every day. Falsehood No.1 Refuted DePriest says in his infamous circular that he has issued to his friends and supporters "that along State street George Hurling spent $25,000 as a part of the campaign to compile the result. Now let us see if this most absurd statement has or bears even the car marks of the truth. In the first week of the campaign from 31st to 39th street. The DePriest workers on State street outnumber Jackson's workers 2 to 1. The campaign of DePriest covering a period of eight months and Jackson's campaign covering a period of less than a month has dates $20,000, which is $5,000 less than the entire amount DePriest charges was spent for Jackson. DePriest had fifteen excits and Jackson had about twenty excits and Jackson had donated to both candidates by well-wishing friends. This is a total of thirty-five taxis, and far from the total of twenty taxis charged up to Jackson. Now to every fainting in world, can you see any truth in the statement of DePriest as quoted in the beginning of this paragraph? DePriest entire time has been devoted to living and calculating the people and now he seeks to "do his stuff" with his workers and his friends. Falsehood No. 2 Refuted Listen to this one. He charges Jackson and his "gang" with making the follower of Mr. DePriest's followers in the Second Ward and man, the scum of the underworld, and that no Colored person of respectability would line up with DePriest. This statement by Mr. DePriest can forever serve the crime of 1918. No argument is needed could have been printed over his signature. Major Jackson nor his gang (presumably referring to his speakers), ever gave utterance to such an unkind animally declaration. Major Jackson and his men and they have not forgotten their earlier training. They respect their mothers and sisters and all womanhood and have proven it to the world, they have never been charged with dishonor and have never preached "raca hated." Mr. DePriest's untruthful statement is a crime and it is cowardly. It personifies the true character of the man and our people should resent his villainy of honorable citizens by reloguing him to private citizenship on April 2. DePriest Plans for White Democrat His latest plan. He would rather see a white Democrat represent the ward in the city council than one of his own friends or maries for the Republican nomination and is now running as an Independent for the one and sole purpose of dividing the Colored vote to help the Democrat to win. He will think that we are too focused on winning the vote. He has no chance to win himself and has only one object in view and that is to defeat Major Jackson, the Republican nominee selected by the people to be president with the Democrats and put over a fake endorsement by a crowd of white Democrats who have been discarded by the Regular Democratic Organization of the Second Party, the object being to lead our people to a better future and while this is going over, the Democrats vote solidly for their man and beat Jackson out. A line scheme for a man who calls himself the Fearless Democrat, who never happen; our people are not the fools that DePriest thinks they are. We are Republicans at heart and belong to the Republican party. Major Jackson is fair and square and asks the support of every Republican in the ward. Break up this Democrat scheme by voting solidly for Jackson and the Republican ticket. Let all Chicago see and know that one man cannot make the race and the Republican party of the Second Ward.

TENNESSEE FOR HAIR THAT WILL STAY STRAIGHT USE PALM CREAM AND PALM OIL The only safe and guaranteed straightener on the market. Slay, Clara, Mr. W. would be a very handsome young man if it wasn't for his awfully bad hair, wouldn't he? Oh, he's all right now; he had his barber treat his hair with Palm Cream, and now he is simply a dream. Our Palm Cream will not only straighten hair, but will keep it straight. Water or change of climate will not affect it. We have thousands and thousands of men today—men in all walks of life throughout this country South America, the West Indies and various parts of Africa—using our goods. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods in his own home home. He often has to seek fields far away. But not so with us. We have succeeded in our home. If you know a barber in New York, write and ask him what he thinks of Palm Cream. Palm Oil is an accessory to Palm Cream, as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful. If your hair is harsh and dry or brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is sick, stubborn and will not grow it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy mess used by so many people for the hair. It is dry and neat; it will not grease your hat, but will give your hair that beautiful, silky, glossy effect so much desired by everyone. Big inducements offered to agents. Special rates to barbers.

CHICAGO PAGE SIX Theatrical Review Good Bills at All of the Vaudeville Houses "You can't judge an actor by his size; the biggest drum in the band plays the fewest notes." The Griffin Sisters and Lawrence Chemaint are the headliners here this week. They have a very pleasing nov clin in which the Red Cross idea and, some good military song produced. Mr. Chenault was in fine voice on Monday night, and was accorded a world of applause. They have lost none of their ability nor popularity with Grand audiences, if the response them can be considered a criterion. Emma Griff The last half had a splendid bill around Valyda & Brazillan Nuts, who remained a sensation over the entire week. They consisted of LaLine & Co. of the best tigers ever at the house, and one that will surely be heard from in fast company. The DoLards were the openers with a comedy balancing and tumbling offering, and wore followed by Ned Decker, a molecular biologist, who die spot being well held by Dunley & Merrill, a singing lady and a clever nut. Rucker & Winfred at the Avenue Rucker & Winfred did their familiar trick of stopping the show performance after performance here the last half of the past week. It was a return engagement, but the story was just the same. They presented a sample of a sketch presented by a group of would-be performers who brought us an obnoxious Southern tale that was as poorly acted as it was constructed; it left the house cold as it was. They were quite enough for those present. The bill opened with Blech Sisters, character singers and dancers of fair ability, and they were followed by Cooper & Levy, two boys, a plano and some girls, who were the closing act. Three Falcons, presented a fine swinging ring novel. The bill the first half of the present week was a fine one. Johnson & Arthur have a sleight of hand offering that is a bird and it went over in a style which was far above the usual style of his bird. King & Christy, with a new line of talk and some brand new songs faint and, took several nods at their finish. The Sketch, Wet Stockings, was well presented and told a detective story of unusual interest. Jere Sanford, with his Rube monologue, added a little whimsy to the cracking results and the end act showed Thaler's Circus, having well trained ponies, dogs and monks. It is a great novelty. Whitman Sisters at the Monogram The famous Whitman Sisters are here, held over for the second week, and the attendance has not diminished from last-week, at which time the response has been equally equal.

If energy and hard work count for anything, there should be no end to it. Whitman has made these girls and their fine company have gained. They are a clean, clever, well dressed and behaved group of ladies and gentlemen, and are a credit to the profession. They will always find a fine welcome on the stroll. Their office is one, and is well worth looking over. The engagement ends on Sunday night.

ADDITIONAL STAGE NEWS TO BE FOUND ON PAGE 7 THE CHICAGO DEFENDER WOLVES OF THE RAIL If there is any more popular star than Wm. S. Hart, the man who has rungheedleads in its way into the hearts of the audience, he is like to know who he is. And in the new Artcraft production, "Wolves of the Rail," the noted actor plays in a new production that the puppet comes to the States theater for the play Sunday and Sunday. of the appropriate play. Hart plays the part of leader of a gang of bandits who have a whole section of western country terrorized. This gang's operations finally turn to the holding up of railroad trains in loot. Hart's men and their dying bed, prays to him to change his living, and he promises. From then on he leads a different sort of life, commencing by defeating his own gang in their attempt to hold up a train the east who has been captured by a detective from the robbies, and the girl put an end to the robberies, and the girl becomes his sweetheart and wife, and who has accepted the position of telegraph operator after the death of her father, who had hold the job.

The gang, of course, seeks the "finish" of the reformed bandit, and their efforts along that line will make you hold tight to your seat. One of the most thrilling of the episodes is a live locomotive craft into a railroad train on which there are States soldiers.

Preston folks, as his aristocratic dancee, are off on a yachting cruise, and the family mansion has been left in the care of a discreet servant. So Preston offers to give Linnie the time of her life, asking her to attend an endless week the week where she wants to go. We see them on successive nights ding at a swell hotel, attending a musical comedy, taking in endless amusements at a near-by resort, and dancing in a cabaret. A policeman, who sees Linnie after night, communicates his suspicions to Linnie's dignuous brother Dick. "It is Linnie's whim to spend the last evening in the Preston mansion, where she is apparently tempted beyond her strength." While Preston is through an open window and a violent encounter leads up to an unusual denouncement. Will Preston be man enough to marry the girl, whose heart he has broken through a lark, or will he marry a frigid dancee she leaves poor little Linnie and come and see how intensely it works itself out in the last reel.

BIG WELL STRUCK AT 1025 FT. By Harrison Oil Co., Within One Mile of Our Holdings, on Thursday, March 14, 1918 Barbados Oil & Gas Co. continues to offer best opportunity to small investors and people of the Race. Since our last adv. in this paper we bought 110 acres in the Shallow Fields of Craig Co., Oklahoma, known as the Albert E. Weber Allotment, which joins production. TODAY IS THE DAY OF OPPORTUNITY. "Grasp Yours." Oil rigs in the field. THE ABOVE IS A VIEW OF THE FAMOUS FOREMAN OIL FIELD WHICH ADJOINS THE 100 ACRE LEASE OF THE BARBADOS COMPANY. NEGROES FORMERLY OWNED ALL OF THIS RICH OIL AND GAS PRODUCING TERRITORY, BUT UNWISELY ALLOWED THE WHITE MAN TO GET IT AWAY FROM THEM BEFORE THEY REALIZED THE GREAT WEALTH THAT IT CONTAINED ```markdown ``` Our Lease Just As Good There is no reason why our lease is not just as good as the one on which the big pools near us are located. The wonderful 100 acre lease owned by the Barbados Company is in an absolutely proven territory. This means that oil is actually being produced all around us. Geologists' reports and the drilling of wells show that the field runs toward us and we are only a short distance away. Drills are pounding down all around us. The famous leases which join the Barbados property are worth Millions of Dollars and cannot be purchased at any price. They are making fortunes for their owners every day. The Nancy Ely lease alone has produced over fifty thousand barrels of oil and is still yielding a small fortune daily. This property lies directly southwest of the Barbados 100 acres. The Gilmore lease is located just southeast of our property and the Craig lease joins us on the west. There are now 10 producing wells on this property, the last one, a 100 barrel well, being brought in less than two weeks ago. To the northeast of us is situated the famous Stamm Pool, operated by H. A. Beasley, a well-known Coffeyville man. It now has 28 producing oil wells and four gases. These properties have netted their stockholders big returns. The lease on which it was situated was sold to its present owners by our president, Mr. M. D. L. Cox. Others Have Made Fortunes Why not you? The Barbados Company opens the way. Come in with us now; help us develop our lease and share with us from the start. Just One Share will cost you Five Dollars and will be worth Hundreds of Dollars in a short time. Such has been the history of the oil and gas development in the State of Oklahoma. If you could stand here near our lease and see the rich liquid wealth flowing from the ground and filling tank after tank, at the rate of $1,000 an hour for 24 hours a day; if you could see the huge drills pounding away night and day and figure whatever new fortune-making well that is brought in means to this field and means to us, we are sure you would be excited, too. We believe you would put in every dollar you could rake and scrape. Wait until we hit this pool of oil—and it looks like you won't have to wait long—and then see where this stock goes to. If you haven't bought, you will wish you had; then it will be everlastingly too late—you will have missed your chance. A two thousand barrel well on our lease would make us all immensely rich. It would give us more than a Million to divide among our Stockholders. Why We Need Your Money Doubtless some who read this announcement will ask why we are willing to take others in with us if our proposition is such a promising one. Now, the answer, however, is quite simple. You couldn't get in this Company if we had plenty of money. We want to sell you stock for just one reason—it's a pure business proposition. We need your help to develop our holdings quickly and are willing to sell you shares, make you a partner and divide our profits with you in order to get your support. Be A Partner As a Stockholder in the Barbados Company, you will be a partner and part owner of all leases, equipment and property of every nature owned or ever to be owned by this Company and share in all profits the Company may make from any source. Now, while we own our lease, yet it will not produce revenue until wells are drilled and the property developed, and in order to raise the necessary capital to do this we have decided to place a block of stock on the market. The Standard and other great oil corporations were originally financed in a like manner. Money derived from the sale of this stock is to be used for immediate development purposes, with a view of getting a production started as quickly as possible. We are offering for sale only enough of this stock to accomplish this end. Why Our Stock Is $5 a Share Owing to the limited number of shares we are placing on the market and the almost certainity of our striking oil upon the drilling of our first well, our stock has a greater value than that of other companies engaged in "wild cat" drilling in unproven territories. Our lease is in a positively proven territory and it will be almost a miracle if we fail to find oil or gas when we put down our initial well. Both oil and gas have been found on all sides of us, and who knows but that our 100 acres contains the mother pool? Our capital of $25,000 is only conservative. Just Five Thousand shares at Five Dollars each. This means that five shares have five times the ordinary value. The One Dollar share has and that fewer people will divide the profit. If we invest in our neighbors, the profits on the $25,000 investment are going to be enormous and the big producers brought in near our lease would pay back $2,000,000 for every Hundred Dollars invested the first year. Our stock will rise in price just as soon as we have enough money to drill. BUY NOW. THE ARROW BELOW SHOW THE HOLDINGS OF THE BARBADOS OIL & GAS CO.

SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1912. FOR SHARES K AT 1025 FT. day, March 14, 1918 er we bought 110 acres in the Shallow Fields of Craig Co., NY. NEGROES FORMERLY OWNED ALL OF THIS RICH Y REALIZED THE GREAT WEALTH THAT IT CONTAINED HOW WE BEAT MILLIONAIRE OPERATORS TO OUR LEASE Our lease was held by the well known millionaire bankers and oil operators, Hess and Bucher of Bartlesville, Okla., and through the omission of their field clark they failed to pay the rental on said tract the day it became due, and our president, who is always alive to such conditions in the Oklahoma Oil Field, found this out and went and got a lease from the Colored owners of this land, had the lease of Hess and Bucher canceled in the District Court for non-payment of rentals, although with the assistance of an array of counsel they made a stiff fight to retain it, realizing its value and worth. The title to this lease is invested in the Barbados Oil and Gas Company and is on file in the office of the Register of Deeds of Nowata County, Oklahoma. Try to Buy Us Out The big white company surrounding us has been trying to buy our lease and has offered many times its original sale price, but we won't sell. If it's good for the white company, it is good for us. You could not lease a foot of land for miles around; merely through the cleverness and knowledge of our company did we slip into this exclusive, valuable field. No other Colored company has heldings in this famous Oldahoma section. Oklahoma is the big Oll State. Women Become Stockholders Our proposition interests women. We appreciate the opportunity to invest part of their earnings and they draw big returns as well as men. WHAT BANKERS SAY: This is a business organization, backed by business men of high standing and reputation. We make no extravagant claim which we cannot substantiate. Read the following letters from oil men who made good, and from bankers who are on the ground, regarding the practical oil man at the head of this Company: THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF COFFEYVILLE, KANS. CAPITAL $100,000.00 SURPLUS AND PROFITS, $50,000.00 To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that M. D. L. Cox, of Coffeyville, Kansas has been a customer of this bank for eight years, during which time we have had business relations with him which have consisted of various kinds of transactions and aggregating a considerable volume, all of which have been handled by Mr. Cox to our entire satisfaction. Mr. Cox is a member of our local bar, and in addition to his law practice, has devoted considerable time to the loan business, to the oil and gas business, and in each line has met with a satisfactory degree of success. He is possessed of industry and gives close attention to all matters entrusted to him. For purpose of verification we have had Mr. Cox sign this letter. Yours truly, J. T. WETTACK, President. (Signature of M. D. L. Cox): M. D. L. COX. A. S. NEWMAN, President D. M. CARILL, Cashier H. C. Welleb, Vice President H. N. Pernoud, Vice President J. H. Follard, Director CAPITAL AND SURPLUS, $35,000.00. The Peoples State Bank COUNTY DEPOSITORY Coffeyville, Kansas: February 12, 1912 February 12, 1913 Mr. M. D. L. Cox of this city, has had business relations with banks for the past six years. His transactions with us have always been satisfactory in every respect. He is the practice of law in this county and is a successful lawyer. In addition to his law practice in general he has special work in the examination of titles in Oklahoma and legal business in connection with oil and gas leases. He is well informed in regard to the oil and gas business and his acquaintance and experience in this line of work has enabled him to able to give valuable service to his clients who have oil and gas interests. Mr. Cox has always handled with care any business entrusted to him by us and we have found him reliable. A. S. NEWMAN, President. H. A. BEASLEY OIL PRODUCER AND CONTRACTOR Coffeyville, Kansas To Whom It May Concern: February 12. 1918. This is to certify that for the past four years I have been personally acquainted with Mr. M. D. L. Cox of Coffeyville, Kansas. During that time I have had him in the oil business. I have had him of Mr. Cox the famous Stamm Pool, situate in County, Oklahoma, on which there are at present thirty producing oil wells, a gasoline plant and four gas wells valued at about One-Half Million Dollar. Mr. Cox is an attorney and a member of the Montgomery County Bar and has known him well versed in oil titles, and besides his general practice of law he made in oil and gas, at which he has made a success. Mr. Cox is recognized as being one of the best posted men of his Race in this business, and I heartily recommend him to anyone desirous of his services in the oil and gas business. THE PRAIRIE OIL AND GAS COMPANY TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Mr. M. D. LeCompton Cox, a member of the Bar of Montgomery County, Kansas, has resided in Coffeyville for the last eight years and has been engaged in the practice of his profession. He has enjoyed a good clientage and presented many matters in the District Court of Montgomery County during the period that the undersigned was occupying the District Bench. In all his professional matters he has been prompt, careful and zealous, and active for his client's interest. Mr. Cox has shown the average in intelligence and education in his Race, and has had exceptional opportunities because of his location and contact with oil and gas matters, and I think would be a valuable man to any one needing some one for leasing of lands for oil and gas purposes. I have no hesitancy in recommending him and feel, from observation and experience, that he would be faithful to his employer's interests. Respectfully, T. J. FLANNELLY. TURDAY, MARCH 30, 1916 THE ETERNAL STANDARD I am not bound to win but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong—Abraham Lincoln. By Ben Baker LET US THINK and then LET US ACT. If we could get the "think factory" of our 18,000,000 forces to work in time, we would turn out a product that would be "Liberty, Justice, Pratenity and Justice" that would amuse old Mother Earth, and we could all sing "Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, goodwill to you." We address some months ago former Ambassador to France Myron T. Herrick of Ohio said: "There is no color line in France, I believe the time will come when the people of the United States will be just as much ashamed of drawing the color line as they are now ashamed that our country once had slaves." How we all love France! France, the king of love, the suffering, the living lie to the theory that color prejudice is necessary and like a badge of inferiority! "We have found our national soul," says the New York Times, and the Ohio State Journal goes on to say, That is the greatest event of the twentieth century, an institution of the American spirit, without which our material resources will amount to nothing. The national soul, what is it, is courage, sacrifice, unselfishness, honestness, the greater good, the Golden Rule. Then comes Dr. Frank Crane, the eldest syndicate newspaper spokesman, and adds this tenor solo: "We are going to take up the business again of hating people that don't speak our language, of despising people of countries, of customs and costumes different from ours. We shall have another war pretty soon." Hate has a large family, including race prejudice, competition, egotism, taint of racism, bank and the doctrine of inferior races. "Clean your mind of all this brood and you'll help win this war and prevent the next. Think humanity instead of race hate." The call for Justice and Opportunity is to ALL mankind. There is no respecter of persons. The call to action requires that justice must be from oppression must be universal. With our cause of justice is that fine group of high-minded white people who think aright and act aright. Their spokesman are few in number—Storey Spingarn, latest, Mrs. Gould and few others. In the halls of the Congress they can be counted with little difficulty. The price of courage comes high—as courage is better—but these are days of courage and courage must come, or we perish. "Wake Up, America!" These are not summer picnic times in America!" The Toledo (O. Blade says: "The United States of America at last realizes what this war means, and it is in which it is defeated in which, its allies beaten down, it may eventually be directly assailed in its centralizing and centring of overwhelming forces on the main battle front in France as to ARMY WANTS MANY EXPERTS --- CHICAGO ASKED TO SEND NEARLY REGIMENT OF SPECIALISTS TO CAMP DIX CHICAGO ASKED TO SEND NEARLY REGIMENT OF SPECIALISTS TO CAMP DIX Recruiting of specially trained Negroes for the 167th Field Artillery Brigade, Ninety-second Division, was begun in Chicago today at the request of Capt. Royal F. Nash, of the brigade headquarters at Camp Dix, N. J. Dr. Charles E.

Wanted—A Man "Wanted, a man in every state, county, city, village and hamlet in the coming bewildering reconstruction days for his courage to protect himself." "Wanted, a man with a soul; who will not yield to petty compromise; who has the courage of conviction; whom the spoils of wealth and position cannot buy; whom the lusts of office can consume; whom the standards of right, justice, humanity." "Wanted, a man who can keep an appointment and a promise." "Wanted, a man with a keen mind, a bionic brain, a keen sense of humor, who is bigger than his job; who can think quickly, act promptly, dare the impossible; who can guide men in the perplexing, hazardous paths of readjustment." "Wanted, a man overflowing with vigor, health, life; who does not violate Nature's laws; whose body can strain the strain of concentrated civilization; who can endure months of grind, and awake every day to find his place." "Wanted, a man who can mix with men; who can walk with kings nor lose the common touch; who can live with lesser men and be at home; who can broad sympathies with common folks; who can pursue to jerusalem and higher living." "Wanted, an all-around man, a broad man, who is educated all over; who prefers worth to money; who hates sham; who loves the beautiful; who hates physical practical; whose soul is not stuilt; who has a conscience, a heart. "Wanted-a good man. "Wanted, in thousands of banks, manufactories, attorneys' offices, political halls, editorial chairs, pulpits, colleges and universities, a man who can see aright, lead aright and to the things that dwarfed men cannot touch. "WANTED----A MAN!" Thinking Out Loud One of our most successful business men said the other day: "It matters not how serious the times, it is remarkable to see how easy going the masses of our people are." "Not another said this." He is appointed for office. He is the president of a big bank. He wishes our support. I told him. I will be glad to support him under one condition. I do not want a political job, but I want to put one of our boys in his bank as a clerk, where he can learn the banking business. Our people deposit thousands of dollars with that bank. We can see what's before us. A REGULAR JOB, without a doubt. It is necessary for us to Utilize. Utilize every means at our disposal. We do the duty of our history have we could greater industrial opportunities: never have we made more money; never has our man power been so much at a premium. Are we going to push our cause of equal justice in the midst of these conditions? Are we going to continue to be grateful, who we have and have the courage, in this course of demand to rightly demand all things that go to make us not half-men, but whole men? Or are we going to thrust against our enjoying the larger life, the ridicule, the burlesques and the caricatures? Are we going to answer them all, no matter from what source? British admit a retirement slightly west of that line, north of the Somme, to Albert and Bray. Lilion, west of the line farthest west, that of the battle of the Somme, near the figure (2), also has been taken, Berlin announced last night. The several dotted lines in the captured area represent the advance of the enemy each day. The New York Times is not too big to be answered, nor is the New York Evening Post, our constant sponsor, too far away to receive our personal attention. The New York Times is not too great to listen to receive nor is the Outlook too dignified to hear our protests. These conditions are larger than political issues, and we cannot understand these facts. We cannot mock the Governor of Massachusetts, a Republican, who declares for a square deal, and thank the Governor of Illinois, a Republican, who has East St. Louis nightmare. We cannot mock the nightmare. The Governor of Ohio cannot smite us with one hand in permitting infamous moving pictures and extraditions, and pat us on the back regarding our achievement, with the United States senators and congressmen cannot come before us with the old time good cheer hilly-gagging, and ask our men to vote to retain them, in order to ignore lynching, disfranchisement, Jim Crow" and segregation. These conditions are bigger than mere political parties. They call for men, high minded, heaven crowned and fearless. They call for the NOW, not next year nor the next decade. Where are the men? Who are the real sponsors of Equal and Exact Justice? We must know and we must know we. We must produce in our ranks more justice for the poor, boldly for Justice and not be swerped by more political jobs or bans of redd. WE MUST ALL WORK TOGETHER AND WE WILL GET SOMEWHERE.

Major Robert R. Jackson is the regular Republican nominee of the Republican primaries by a majority of Republicans voting therein. 2. The Republican party has no chance to win and only seeks to break up the Republican party and to injure the influence of his Race because he cannot control them for his own political and financial interests. 3. A vote for De Priest, therefore, is a vote for the Democratic nominee. 4. To vote for Do Priest is to divide the Republican Race vote and thus make possible the election of the Democrat. 5. Every Race man elected in Illinois and in the past has been nominated and elected to the Republican ticket. 6. Our Race has had to look to the Republican party for our protection and for assistance to full freedom, among the Republican and their allies, the Independents. 7. To vote Independent is to waste your time for the Independents have never controlled a council, legislature or a congress. 8. The Republican party is the only party friendly to our Race and a vote against our Race and its future interests. 9. The Republican party is the only party which stands for the civil liberty and freedom of our Race and a vote against it. We will retard the future progress of our Race. 10. The refusal of De Priest to abide by the verdict of the Republican prelude shows that he considers his wishes all those of the people and his Race's welfare. 11. De Priest defeated all Race aliens. We will weirst the candidate, he now looks to defeat the Race alderman with a Democrat until he thinks he can get it. 12. By voting for De Priest and the second alderman, we lose the second alderman but endanger if not lose our two Race representatives at Springfield. 13. By voting for De Priest and divide the Republican vote we will destroy our chance to secure a Race man on the board of county commissioners this fall. 14. By dividing the Republican and Race vote now, we destroy our opportunity to command by a united front representation on the Municipal court bench and other branches of the city government. 15. Our Race is now in control of the Ward and we are responsible for its political condition: if we endure another party primaries we will fall like Oscar De Priest fell; and if we encourage the De Priest guerrilla warfare in politics we will meet the fate of the people in Santa Domingo, Haiti and Cuba who together because they did not know how to use it. 16. If Oscar De Priest had won in the Republican primaries, Major Robert R. Jackson would have supported him for the polls and said so in his public speeches more than a thousand times. Sincerely yours, MAJOR ROBERT R. JACKSON. SOUTHERN FARMERS LINCOLN PETER DALEMONI Lewiston, N. C. March 27—A mob of vicious robbers razed a blackmaze-mortal 19, and struck his body a tree and riddled it with birdshot. When the news of the lynching reached the city, citizens gathered their belongings and immediately left the vicinity to watch the forty-five persons journeyed to Norfolk. Va., on foot and there boarded trains for points unknown. The city of Lewiston is practically depopulated, as all of the field hands have disappeared and handcapped. Efforts were made to obtain labor in other sections, but no one could be lured into the lynching district. Nothing has been done to apprehend the guilty parties, although they are known to the local authorities. A jealous quarrel is said to have arisen between two white farmers over the courtship of a woman and one of the women in her home. On accomplishing a purpose, attacked the woman in her home. It was rumored that the crime had been committed by the bride and Bazemore was seized and lynched. The true facts were revealed when smut was discovered on the waist of the attacked woman on a small creek, where the culpits had washed the blacking from his face. The two suitors are said to have participated in the lynching of Bazemore.

BY OSCAR DE PRIEST My candidate CAR DE PRIEST the alderman of the Second Ward is the result of a movement inaugurated by the people of the ward for local self-government—free from boss rule and free from the moralizing influences of the reckless man in the second man's inherited millions. This movement, composed of the most representative men and women of the ward, is here to stay, and demands that where the majority, whether in the preset in the ward, there the lace shall control. In this, I am sure, we are asking no more that what we are justly and appropriately a component part of the body politics, whatever to assume any "dangerous" measure of advantage over any other class of citizens. This movement is unalterably against any one man—he is the one controlling and controlling the political affairs of the ward. So much for the movement that stands behind my candidacy for alderman of the Second Ward. I take a great deal of pleasure in subscribing to the following platform of principles adopted by a ward condition, which made me its standard condition, on the 11th day of January, 2014. "2. That neither the present so-called Republican Organization of the World, which has resolved itself into self-interest, nor the privately controlled organization, has the right to arrogate to itself the exclusive prerogative of naming, selecting or otherly forcing upon the people of others any candidate of its choice. "3. That our government, in all of its departments, has the unfavoring, loyal, united and patriotic support of convention and the people for whom it serves, and this great war that is destined to make the world and especially this country safe for democracy to the end of time. "4. That we stand for full and equal suffragette rights of our commonwealth, taking in that most important element—the women." Upon this platform and with the assistance of the people, who have so support, I am earnestly rallied to my support. I am confident that the date for election as alderman of the Second Ward. Any statement that my candidacy means the election of a Democrat insults the intelligences of the men in our country. No person with an ounce of sense will charge me with running independently for the purpose of electing a Democrat. Democrat can be elected on April 25, 2016, or crates in the ward and 23,000 Republicans. On that day I will be elected and I will be the representative of the people of all the people of the ward and will be the representative of of my ability. OSCAR DE PRIEST.

Washington Speaks to Students of Fisk University Nashville, Tenn., March 29—Those who knew the late Booker T. Washington well often remarked the charitable failing generosity in his dealings with his own people and with the white people of all sections of the country. A person of persons of this day afterward held his white lecture at Fisk University the subject, "Woman's Part in Race Adjustment." President McKenzie had invited her to lecture course in race adjustment lecture course in race adjustment given at Fisk; and, while her message did not fall to plead for a man's white, her address breached good will to all people and was filled with concrete examples of work in co-operation which is actually going on between women and Colored women in the South. Her address in part was as follows: "In this question of adjustment there are to be sure, two sides. Each of us should not make up his mind to do his part in making it more possible and more profitable for the two races—differing some opposite because of different opportunities to live on the same streets, in the same neighborhood and to have the same interest in all civic affairs without trying to win them. The man who spends his time in trying to hinder and hold down another never gets very high himself." The years ago thirty Colored women in the state of Alabama came together and decided that something must be done for the small boys of the Race. They sought and found a sympathetic friend and advice in the state of Alabama, thus the governor of the state, a woman who had taken the lead in making it possible for the small criminals of her own Race to be protected from the indictment of the accused man in the crimes of the state." Of the reformally built as a result of these efforts, she said: "White women, including the wives and friends of the children, continue to visit Montgomery, giving to the children of the streets and alleyes a glimpse of a life built on opportunity, and thus saying to them: 'Every boy in this state. Black as well as white, we have a chance to be a man, to be a citizen. Industrial School for Children' 'Not more than eight or ten years ago the white women of Birmingham, Ala., became interested in the condition of one of its shims. It was natalized occupied by the old people who were occupied by the careful investigation was made and the women were shocked at its findings. They woke up the city officials, and the result was a $60,000 industrial school building which the entire neighborhood. These women have brought in doctors and nurses to give health talks. They keep in touch with the head teacher of the school, and the interpreter in Race to the other." "Here in your own city, Nashville, the educational pride of the South, you have your social service courses at the college, you have done under the direction of white women, your lecturers come often from Vanderbilt University. You have your public library, secured partly through the probation officers, you have your playgrounds, all secured, in part at least, through the same agencies." In closing her address, the speaker minds of accurate students of the problems of adjustment, has caused, and is yet causing more bitterness from the Colored people than almost Colored woman is almost without a law. On this point the speaker said: "Public sentiment must be turned in the direction of the Colored woman, protected by the law. She can lay claim to no justice. She lives in a world where the white man may work his will on her without let or hinder the colored code and moral restraint which protects the white women and should protect every woman. Equality of protection is imperative for the moral life of the Colored women of the country."

THE WOMAN'S PAGE CLUBS AND FRATERNAL THE CHICAGO DEFENDER From out of this chaos of world conflict the din of heightening battle, the moans of heaped wounded whose entreaties and feeble voices sway, as does the fevered summer breeze, and the bustle of war preparation, there comes a, lull. The darkening cloud of care passes, the last obbing boom of cannon is heard, the shrieks of the malmed have ceased, they smile in their pain; a tender plant attempts its growth between two shattered rocks, and on that desolate stretch, No Man's Land, a robin perches on a shattered cannon wheel. The plerced man free, bids "Peace." This Ease.

Agents—"Take Notice: Wt Manufacture, 130 Articles." KNITTERS NEEDED The pressing need for every woman who has one idle moment to busy herself knitting, whether or not she has relatives in any branch of the service of her country, is evident. The boys at the school are in need of many little things of comfort and only recently in a talk with Mrs. Julius N. Aventorph, who, by the way, is considered one of the knitters in this city, she contributed the *Dorfs for the Knitters of Socks* DONT cast on tightly. An otherwise knitted sock may become useless by a tight cord at the top. Don’t your wool. Join the ends by splitting the knitting ends double for 2 or 3 inches. DON’t make a beef with a seam on the sole. Remember, a man may not have a chance to change his socks for a blister, or cause a blister. If the blister breaks, blood poisoning may set in and result in the loss of a foot or even his life. We cannot afford to lose our men through ignorance or negligence. DON’t black, dark or bright colors. Here again lies danger of blood poisoning. DON'T use needles too fine for the wool. The knitting should be elastic if too tightly knitted the sock becomes hard and boardlike in use. DON'T make a foot less than 10½ in. long. DON'T use pins in fastening pairs. General Directions 1. To cast on double for sleeveless jacket, allow about 120 inches of yarn and glue on with double thread very loose. 2. To bind off double, knit first two stitches together, put new knitted stitch back on needle. Knit this stitch and one more together, and put new stitch back on needle. Repair very loosely until all stitches are bound off. 3. Make all measurements by laying the garment to be measured on a flat surface, such as table or floor, and measure with a wooden or metal measure on a tape line. 4. Measure carefully from tip of heel to tip of toe. Sizes should be from 10½ to 11½. 4. If is suggested that any bits of wool of any color may be knitted into yarn in bands in the oops of the socks, thus making a double purpose of putting to good use of wool that might otherwise be wasted; of making distinguishing marks of ownership or of palms, and of saving the stock of wool, which is scarce and of wool that is used such yarn for ten minutes in salted milk (thus twice and wring hard each time. 5.

ONE FALSE STEP A friendly rivalry existed amongst us as we vied with each other to sing the praises of one of the most beautiful characters that we have over me; we we had to fire at her, and that we had placed her upon a pinchable which no one else had just quite reached, and we were happy to accommodate her to a grand woman who like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, a serpent entured our Eden. "Oh, yes, she is airlight now, but I know her when..." and of a folly committed many years ago. It is characteristic of the feminine gender to gossip, but when a real woman hears malicious slander, and intentional blackening of a person's character, her whole being revolts, and she sometimes wishes that the one she evil tongue were bereft of speech. Youth and folly walk hand in hand, and who knows what temptation may have assailed the other one, for we alone know just what battles we fought and what we have very few women who reach the age of twenty, who have not committed some indiscretion in the interim, that they regret the rest of their lives. So much more glory to the woman who has made one false step and then realizes that will pull her backward, but few that will help her onward, and more often she fights alone, and knowing the pitfalls in front of her, she makes every effort to sidestep them; she is fully cognizant of the prejudices that she has been exposed to, and whole being is so full of goodness, that eventually she makes us realize that she is a gem of the first water. It is a homely adage, but a true one, that "if we keep our own homes clean, we will not have much opportunity to locate the dirt in our neighbor's house" for none of us are perfect, and another reason is that we are the best, for she is the most maligned creature in existence, and yet the most lovable. If women would practice the art of kindness when they speak of each other, it would make the men honor them more. You will not lose his admiration by speaking kindly of another woman, but you will not be aware of just what a noble nature you have yourself, for a woman who is giverous enough to acknowledge the admirable traits of another woman, must have nobility of character herself, or else she could not recognize the kindness of another woman. Instead of dragging the skeleton from the family close, let up help the "dead past bury its dead," for some of us may have a daughter of our own, and if she, in her youth, should make one false step, our kindness will smooth the path to a recompense for her, and may well better serve the command that "Let him, who is without sin, cast the first stone."

BROCKETT, PASTOR The National Metropolitan church, Chicago, of which Rev. J. A. Brockett, D. D., is founder and pastor, held its first services on last Sunday, in the Angelus building, 35th street and Wabash avenue. The metropolitan is projected on the broadest possible basin as a public church. Its special work will be not only the preaching of the Gospel, but the instruction of our new citizens in that which has made and now makes for Chicago's greatness as the giant metropolitan work. Dr. Brockett is now training a staff of forty-eight men and forty-eight women, many of whom were formerly his students in the South, or he was his pastor or presiding elder during his labor in that section of our country. These are being grouped, some as canvassers—workers in the publicity bureau and health bureau. The founder of this new church unit in our city is widely known for his sterling quality as a Racan man. He was a bishop of the oratory and a churchman of polish and refined culture. The warm and earnest welcome extended to him from W. Johnson A.J. Carey, W. D. Cook and many of our most prominent public men, and the prompt and effective manner with which he has aligned himself with the church will be the reason for the highest good of all, reveals a clearness of vision which is at once gratifying and convincing. St. Thomas' Easter Program At St. Thomas' church, 38th and Wabash avenue, Easter day services will begin with the early celebration of the Holy Eucharist at 6 a.m. and the celebration and sermon at 11 o'clock. The music will be a special feature; also an anthem of an elaborate character will be rendered by the choir. The choir will be a school will have their festival service.

In the year 1809 the nucleus of this commendable association international conference on Lincoln's centennial year later the present name was decided upon and the first issue of the Crisis, the official mouthpiece for the national indicting, was issued. Since the crisis has been steady and surprisingly rapid. There are branches in over ninety-six cities and the net monthly paid circulation of the Crisis averages 56,000, yet all of these are quietly and unobtrusively, as to have engaged the interest of comparatively few of us. The policy has been to work quietly, as it provides most of the quietly would have spolied many of the trumphs of the "N. A. A. C. P." However, it is well to inform the general public that this organization is in the process and is doing a most splendid work. It deals mainly with the cases of segregation and maltreatment of Race people. Because of the influential people of the board of directors, it has not been necessary to resort to the severest methods to obtain fair treatment for plaintiffs. The main branch is located in New York City, with Mr. Morefield Storey and the present chairman of the board, Mr. Spliggart; Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard is treasurer; Mr. Ray Nash, secretary; W. E. DuBols, director of publications and research; Frank M. Turner, bookkeeper; Richetta G. Randolph, James W. Johnson, field secretary; Marcia Grueling, research worker on lynching. Here in our own city the personelle on the board are: President, Judge Edward Osgood Brown; Allan J. Carr, president; M. A. Hirsch, second vice president; M. A. Johnson, Bentley, treasurer; A. K. Maynard, secretary; George A. Arthur, assistant secretary. The offices are located at 2659 Michigan avenue. During the last year the following are some of the achievements of the association: Supreme court decision in the Louisville segregation case was unanimous in declaring segregation unconstitutional. In the East St. Louis riot cases this body engaged a counsel and Arthur B. Spengarn visited St. Louis. The board also authorized all necessary expenditures for cases of rioters and for the arrest of the rioters. The branch contributed $200 to this cause. In Washington, action was taken to prevent discrimination in army. Secretary Baker was interviewed and discussed against Negro as a soldier was checked. The army training camp at Des Molines, Iowa, was secured and 688 Negro officers were commissioned. The Army also issued such a vital work its Chicago membership is listed at only 180 members. As was said in the beginning, the low rating of such a large city can only be excused on the basis of general ignorance of the aims of the N.A.A.C. B. C. B. Meetings are held frequently and there is a desire to have all classes attend. The presence of the working class is as it is to them that the aid of this organization can be of general benefit. The membership fee is as low as one dollar a year, and anyone paying more than two dollars is entitled to the benefit. All are urged, whether they are members or not, to attend the public meeting of this association and by their presence lend encouragement to the fight for equality of opportunity and fairness of treatment for all.

The Comfort club shipped as its second consignment of comforts for the 370th Inf., formerly the old 4th Illinois, $225 worth of leather jackets, books, wristlets, helmets, and filled kits. The home of Mrs. W. A. Buckner, 3704 Prairie avenue, president, was the scene of much activity as women, no doubt, were trying to dress Jones, Mrs. T. L. Jefferson, Mrs. Bunn, and Mrs. Crump, scurried about their tasks, proving that "the hand that runs the needle is the hand that backs the This organization is one of the foremost of its kind in the city, having a membership of over 100 members, all of whom are thoroughly enthused over the services of the club, which he described: "We are all interested, and would like the services of other women in the city to this great work that means so much to us and our men," said Mrs. Buckner, "We have the use of the 8th Regiment armory, 38th and Forest avenue, every all women interested to come at that time and spend the afternoon worthwhile." To great measure has this work gone; no sooner had the expressman departed, when a delivery wagon backed him up to the entrance, was ushered in to be knitted into articles which constitutes a partial portion of the club's "spring drive." Y. W. C. A. WAR WORK AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE By Almire F. Holmes, Y. W. C. A. Seyc Hampton, Va. March 29—An interesting and picturesque sight greets the eye as one stands on the threshold of the Hampton institute girls' study hall, where they learn to walk and down the length of the big room, anywhere from 55 to 100 girls are gathering in small groups of fifteen or twenty. Each group has its own teacher, who directs and inspects the work. These girls have as members of the Y. W. C. A. Patriotic league and have voluntarily given an hour from their busy day to do their bit for the men at the front. Some of the girls are seniors who have hurried home from their teaching day and are the night school girls, who have just come in from the long day of work in the kitchen or laundry. Service of Love As the girls come into the room, they find the work laid out and waiting for them. Hastily donning their aprons and coverings, they arrange them adequately, abrasively, where they are soon absorbed in the folding of gauze compresses. Over 2,000 of these surgical dressings have already been made by the Hampton girls, inspected, and packed, and hundreds of different bundages of different kinds. The senior girls, organized into a Lend-a-Hand club, have enjoyed the cutting and making of nineteen dresses, and sent to the Smith Reconstruction Unit. One class of girls has just finished 150 shirts and pajamas for the Red Cross. e enthusiasm for knitting became contagious last fall and the Hampton girls grew ambitious to supply the Hampton boys with sweaters. As fast as the wool could be procured, the girls knitted it up in their sleeves. They made 83 sweaters, 12 helmets, 9 pairs of wristers and 3 pairs of socks. These articles have been sent, as soon as they were finished, to the men who have gone out from Hampton into the camps. Many girls at Hampton at the camp are busy knitting socks, as the demand for them seems to be great. --- Man Sleepes; His Shoes Stolen Jonas Waltham, a native of Battle Creek, Mich., en route to Grand Rapids, was relieved of his shoes while he was on the way to some.

GODIVA CHEMICAL CO., Dept. 18 2009 WEST VAN BENCH AGENTS, TAKE NOTICE: We Manufacture 180 APERTURES FOR YOU TO SAVE MONEY HOUSE CLEANING A DANGEROUS OOGUPATION It has become well established in the minds of sanitarians and members of the medical profession, that many cases of mucous membrane infection, such as ulcers, skin infections, are caused through the agency of dust. It recently has been proved by animal experimentation that tuberculosis may be transmitted by dust from the shelves, furniture or dark nooks in human beings. Minnows housed in noticeed that a "cold" is often acquired in connection with spring house cleaning, and particularly so in connection with the manipulation of pictures, bookcases, shelves or other places where dust is to be turbed for comparatively long periods. While it is true that the agitation of dust in any form may cause much annoyance and that some classes of dust, such as that generated in the trades, trades, produce direct irritation of the delicate mucous membranes, the fact remains that when it has been thoroughly dried and subjected for even a period of time to direct sunlight, it becomes a source of infection agent. However, when we consider the small number of homes and other places continuously occupied by human beings that escape contamination from the coughing and sneezing with colds or other respiratory affections at some time or other during the long winter, it is not surprising that infected dust particles should lurk in books and corners that are self-damaged and not easily removed by the weak rays of the winter sunlight. In relation to those facts, it seems well to consider the wisdom of protecting the housewife against this source of infection. Every good housewife always in readiness to protect her hair and clothing from the loose dust agitated in connection with the customary dusting and cleaning. The admonition measures to safe-guard her respirator and to ensure that particles has never received her attention, while in certain dangerous trades the workers are compelled to wear respirators for protection against dust. It is suggested that a simple dust mask, consisting of a few layers of cheesecloth or gauze, slightly dampened, drawn across the nostrils and the back, across the head, would afford protection against infections and without causing any inconvenience in breathing. Transfer of Pupils, Causes Vigorous Protest in Evanston The transfer of 42 pupils from the North Evanston schools to the Foster school last Thursday, March 21 caused an indignant protest from residents of the Fifth ward of Evanston, in which the school located in Irs H. W. Whithee (which is the local school board declared the North Shore institute was overcrowded and conditions caused the hegira Citizens were stirred to action when Thomas Elliott, president of the Fifth Ward Improvement Association, declared that the move of these pupils a necessary and that such a move by the school authorities warranted the attention of the residents of Evanston and a thorough investigation. If they are not trying to get the attention of the residents, certainly is a curious coincidence that the entire overflow was 100 per cent black. He charged that the Evanstonians were becoming "too aristocratize." A petition has been drafted to solicit such action, the discrimination, and has the co-operation of the best civic interests.

GENEVIEVE WHIMP Buttermilk Biscuit Here is a recipe for buttermilk biscuit: Two cups of good buttermilk, 1 mixing spoon of cream, 2 teaspoons (a round) of soda, 1 teaspoon of cream in a rule for biscuit is right, so don't be afraid, a good pinch of salt and flour to make stiff enough to roll out and Elmer dissolve the soda and cream of milk (their proportion) or else sift with the flour as preferred. Bake in a quick oven. Molasses Doughnuts I think someone asked for a good recipe for molasses doughnuts. Two cup molasses, one cup milk, one cup molasses, one cup sour milk, one teaspoon soda (rounding full), one teaspoon cream of tartar (rounding full), mixing spoon of molted butter, $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon ginger, Mix in soft soak can be handled without slicing. Cut in strips and twist. **Lamb and Potato Au Gratin** Melt $\frac{1}{4}$ cup of flour blend $\frac{1}{4}$ cup of flour, then add slowly $\frac{1}{4}$ cup of flour, then add slowly $\frac{1}{4}$ cup of lamb stock or milk. Stir until smooth, season with pepper, salt and 1 tablepoon of chopped cooked lamb, $\frac{1}{3}$ cups of chopped cooked potatoes and $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of broken walnut meat. Turn into butter, baking dish, sprinkle with cinnamon, with melted butter and bake until brown. Lentil Soup One and one-half or 2 cups lentils washed and put to soak in cold water, to cover, over night. Cook in same water slowly 2 or 3 hours with 1 onion added. Strain. 1 sometimes put a few eggs in the water. 1 sometimes put per, butter. 1 teaspoon flour made smooth in water. 1 add more water when first put on to cook. Excellent Piecrust. I have had such good results with this pie crust I wish one else would try it. Three cups of sifted flour, 3 scant teaspoons of salt, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 3 even teaspoons of butter, and 3 tablespoons der slightly rounded. Sift all together three times. Add one large cup of shortening. I use cod fat, and cut it in with two silver knives. If all the lumps are not out, rub in lightly with fingers. Handling too much makes it too thick. Use a dough, as soft as possible to handle. The cornstarch makes pie crust more tender. Hot-Water Gingerbread One cup molasses, 1 teaspoonful of soda, 1 teaspoonful of ginger, 1 tablespoonful butter or hard (a pinch of butter) and 1 tablespoonful ginger and pons on ½ cup of boiling water and add 1 tin of flour! Bake in a sheet tin. Very nice if pains are taken to have the water boiling and to best well after the flour is added, the water should be boiled for per last night and my husband said it tasted like "mother's."

I BEG YOUR PARDON In last week's issue we printed a story where the K. of P. were to have their annual sermon on Easter, and the K. of T.s. were to have their regular sermon, was the order. Some of the followers of Oscar De Priest are claiming that in the issue following the election (primary) we were told that the sermon was bucked by the women of the underworld. We looked the said issue over and failed to find it; also the editor wishes it understood that we have such slur in the editorial columns.

BARRY Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill., March 23—When the 2,500 or more officers met Tuesday evening to say good by to him who had so guided the interests of the many for years, we unexpected more eyes than one was filled with tears. Of course, press announcements had prepared us for the worst, but in spite of ourselves we could not help but hail the courage of our team who told us he would be leaving forthwith. A Remarkable Man Gen. Barry is in every sense a remarkable-man. As rigid as an ancient taskmaster, as positive as truth, and as brave as a warrior, Barry had a way of dominating large situations without domineering. Perhaps by more than any other group he was able to outmanoeuvre officers and men. To him more than to any other is due that wholesome "Camp Grant atmosphere" about which we wrote last week. May he live long enough to realize that title "over there" and still longer to enjoy the soldiers' appreciation of a man whose life has seen & benediction to many. And no one could err who emulated. The 'aching Gun Battalion The co-ordinator of these notes is gratified t. earn that so many readers are intere. ed in what our boys are able to do, and that last our typewriter was ill, hence no news. Several readers reminded us that our notes did not appear. * With the opening of spring college lectures, their their lectures its. Lieut. Daniel L.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER MAKE SEGREGATION LAW INJUNCTION PERMANENT Action Announced by Judge Dyer and Agreed to by City Through City Counselor Office St. Louis County 828-A temporary injunction, issued more than a year ago by Federal Judge Dyer, forbidding the city putting into effect the segregation ordinances which were amended by Judge Dyer, permanently made by Judge Dyer this morning. The city, through the city counselor's office, agreed to this action. The injunction suit was never argued in the United States Supreme Court in the case of the Louisville (Ky.) residence to which a suit to test their constitutionality was pending in the Supreme Court. Supreme Court ruled that those ordinances were unconstitutional. In view of the fact that the St. Louis ordinances were practically identical with the Louisville ordinances, it was deemed that the city should be permanently enjoined from enforcing them. VOTERS RALLY TO JACKSON Candidacy of De Priest Generally Believed to Be a Scheme to Help Kuehne, Dem. Candidate Jackson's forces declare that many people who supported Oscar De Priest at the primary election on Feb. 26 now declare that they will vote for Major Jackson, the regular Republican nominee, for alderman of the Second ward. The impression seems to be growing stronger as election day approaches that the only way to get two Race committees to council is to vote for the regular Republican candidate, Robert R. Jackson. Henry Brown, former De Priest captain in the Fifth precinct, is conspicuous among those who have declared for him, the senator. Here are his reasons, as given to a reporter for the Defender: "I did all in my power as a supporter of De Priest to nominate him at the primary, the primaries are over my interest, like the primary men, centers in procuring additional Race representation in the city council. In my opinion there is only one way to accomplish this, and that is for all men to vote up on the primary choice of the Republican party, Major R. R. Jackson." WEST VIRGINIA Weston, W.

EXISTING WORLD'S PEOPLE RELEASED. It would seem satisfied if those who battlesfied of France, the abstract work of slaughter, the cruel and inhuman in turn lynchers are equal friends, provided said, when a justifiable cause of this particular time, that the thoughts,ured upon the enemy,people would be discoct at Nashville, Tenn.,up to these disgraceful one of the most prominent men took part in cons condemning and the, of course, is to secure the enforcement ofuals against violence will have been any things occur in any plan elaborate answer mean history will careing to our system of the present geniological information,men were not only part actually untrue. Reason passes judgment of a controverted queen who lived through the and prominent part the those lines than any one of the present day a real historical present midd book of which action." One of the is the reason why we Nashville will become CONCERNING LYNCHINGS IN SPITE OF THE EXISTING WORLD WAR lynchings in the South have not entirely ceased. It would seem that the lust for gore could now be amply satisfied if those who believe in such methods would appear upon the battlefields of France and assist those who are now engaged in the patriotic work of slaughtering Germans. The Germans are reputed to be cruel and inhuman in their treatment of their enemies, while the southern lynchers are equally cruel and inhuman in their treatment of their friends, provided said friends have a dark skin If there ever had been a justifiable cause for this cruelty and inhumanity, it appears at this particular time, when our country is engaged in a gigantic war, that the thoughts, actions and attention of all people would be centered upon the enemy, and that the pastime of lynching any of our own people would be discontinued—for the present at least. A public meeting at Nashville, Tenn., was recently held to take suitable steps to put a stop to these disgraceful affairs that we have occurred in that state. Some of the most prominent and influential business, professional and public men took part in the deliberations of the meeting. Strong resolutions condemning and denouncing such methods were adopted. The primary purpose, of course, is to create a popular sentiment which will demand and secure the enforcement of law and order and the protection of individuals against violence. If this result is not accomplished, such meetings will have been held in vain. Let us ask the question: Why do lynchings occur in any part of our country? We cannot undertake to give an elaborate answer in a brief editorial, but if the students of American history will carefully read and study all grave questions appertaining to our system of government, the answer will be found. Americans of the present generation have been accustomed to reading such historical information as has been written by white men, many of whom were not only partial and prejudiced, but their productions were actually untrue. No fair minded person passes judgment until he has heard or seen or read both sides of a controverted question. We are indebted to Major John R. Lynch, who lived through the reconstruction period and who took an active and prominent part therein, and who, perhaps, is better informed along those lines than any other man now living, for presenting to the people of the present day and generation one of the best and most impartial historical presentations of the events of that period in the splendid book of which he is the author, called, "The Facts of Reconstruction." One of the most interesting things to be found in this book is the reason why we have lynchings. Let us hope the start made at Nashville will become general, and that much good will result therefrom. Easter larly have to be a bible art for the display of bible faring, for the first time each individual's pur- pure. Perhaps we are d when our minds are who are inclined to at- tach they call "suitable to or than their neighbor for goodness and r for Christian- ship to Hunt. ONE DOES NOT necessarily have to be a Bible student to know that Easter Sunday is not a day set apart for the display of fine rament; yet the custom has become so general of wearing, for the first time, everything from head to foot new and as expensive as each individual's purse will permit, that the real significance of the day is lost. Perhaps we are drifting to paganism; surely Christianity is on the wane when our minds are centered on worldly rather than spiritual things. Many who are inclined to attend church services remain away if they have nothing they call "suitable to wear," meaning clothes as good as and preferably better than their neighbor's. While there is great cause for gloriness and refolicing on Easter, the day our Savior rose from the dead, more Christian-like ways of displaying our pleasures should be resorted to. Humbleness is next to godliness. It is the soul that God sees in Jesus, the blood or body coverings. The world was four thousand and four years old when Jesus, the promised Messiah, was born. The birth took place in fulfillment of the story in the small town of Bethlehem. It was part of the divine dispensation that should be, to mere human observation, an obscure event, and thus it was signally divested of all external symbols of greatness or importance. The ministry of Christ began when He was thirty years of age and lasted between three and four years. His death the Philareos decreed should be by crucifixion, and the Philareos decreed should be by the massacre of the slave for slaves and the lowest malefactors. When His atonement was completed on the cross He arose on the third day, Easter, just as it had been foretold, and on days thereafter sojourned on earth. On His ascension the work of promulgating His religion over the earth was intrusted to those who had been selected with the supernatural qualifications requisite for the discharge of their divine mission as teachers of the word. Every man, woman and child owes it to themselves to be identified with some religious body, if for no other reason than to keep in tune with the lessons taught upon a mother's knee. It is safe to say that most people in their lives should not be so should go. But drifting seems so much easier than rowing, and so to have bookclubs. On Easter, just as our Saviour rose from the dead, let those who have strays from the fold return, even as the prodigal son. Strike Germany a Blow VERY BAD NEWS has been coming to us from the front, and the spring drive which now on in full force will mean that our casualty list will be growing. We are going to fight to the last ditch, and the methods they are employing to force the world are so diabolical that the world for a moment had to stop to catch the enemy, to shoot him or a moment, and now the allies are pounding away meeting side with shot into the enemy camp at a rate that must bring victory before the summer. CHICAGO DEFENDER AMERICAN RACE PREJUDICE The Prohibition Movement THE PROHIBITION AMENDMENT to the federal Constitution, which passed both houses of congress and is now being acted upon by the different states, is supported chiefly by the states composing the "Solid South." Some states may not be required to comply with the world, which is in harmonious accord with southern political methods, is out of the world, which is in use methods when they are applied to the prohibition question. If that amendment ultimately be ratified and become a part of the federal Constitution it will be due, in the opinion of the New York World, to southern Democratic methods. The state adopted and enforced through the acquiescence if not the approval of northern states enforced to illegal and questionable methods that have been adopted and enforced by southern Democrats to suppress the Colored vote. The primary object in suppressing the Colored vote is to maintain the ascendancy of the Democratic party; to this, popular sentiment of the North has been adopted and enforced. The objection comes in only when the same methods are made to apply to something which is not applied in the North—for example, prohibition. If the New York World is an accurate interpreter of northern sentiment prohibition is not as popular in the North as it is in the South. And but for the suppression of the Colored vote of the South it would be no more popular in that section than in the North. THE "DRYS" are attempting to make every day a sober day. With nothing to eat and nothing to drink, it should not be a hard matter to put by something for the proverbial rainy day. THE PRICE OF COAL, it is said, will be lowered April 1. Somehow it would sound better if any other day were selected for this great boon, as we are in no mood to be joked. THEY SAY there are a lot of fools that were not born on the first of April. Guess so; otherwise newspapers wouldn't be sued for printing facts. WELL, the election is but a few days off and those on the fence are getting ready to say: "I told you so." Queer world, this. GO TO CHURCH EASTER and keep it up every Sunday morning thereafter. Religion is about the only free thing left. Food Administration Is Not a Price=Fixing Body There appears to be a good deal of misinformation circulated amongst the agricultural community as to the policy and scope of the Food Administration with relation to the price fixing. I wish to say at once and emphatically, that the Food Administration is not a price-fixing body, except with regard to certain commodities which are today dominated by wholly abnormal overseas commercial relations, and the surrounding factors with regard to which both against the farming community and at the same time the consuming community. The two commodities under regulation are wheat and sugar, which it has 'intervened purely as a friendly intermediary between organized producers and consumers—as in milk—the Executive Department of the government has no authority and cannot fix prices of products of agriculture. It seems necessary and desirable to re-state the reasons already referred to by the President which render it necessary to control the marketing of these two commodities. The economic forces arising out of the war, which have necessitated this action, are in the main as follows: there is a consequence there of the world has been placed in government control and the volume of this shipping is much reduced. As a consequence there is a commercial overseas traffic as the governments involved, must designate what tonage is to be assigned to each commodity and each class of ship. 2. Inasmuch as normal commercial overseas traffic has broken down, it was necessary for the Allied governments in Europe to purchase of the whole their food supplies from abroad. Of American wheat their purchases are of sufficient volume to control the price—and this is the only agricultural com 3. In the face of a necessary duty to reduce our consumption of food—so badly needed by the Allies—it has been established that we should substitute these two commodities in the common interest of the war, and to control the reduced supplies internally, in order that all may be treated alike—that is, that we should have a control of distribution and price. As stated, practically the only commodities, as to which these new economic forces dangerously involve the wheat industry, are the all control measures are the loss of evils. In wheat we were faced with a single agency whose proportionate purchases, to the total were such as to dominate price fixing, and whose agency our officials in limiting their operations thus, becomes absolutely price fixing, and it becomes at once a question as to whether it should be done openly and frankly with our producing community, and with the government officials. Furthermore, in the ordinary course of our wheat marketing, the wheat goes to the markets during the first four months of the harvest year and during the following months, it is lished with the Allos and neutrals, it would be entirely possible for them to export from the United States such a portion of our wheat supplies as to have no effect on the economy, that therefore been necessary in the interest of the American consumer, that the government should intervene to protect his supplies. Again, in the face of this abnormal situation, the government should intervene, that the country was completely paralyzed. To have attempted the normal course of marketing through the Boards of Trade and Exchanges, by which the buyers of wheat protect their operative sales of futures, involved a dangerous risk. In 1915, did the Exchanges themselves wish to be the centers around which such speculations should take place. Every action of the Allied buyer, every rumor of the Allied thereby the liberation of the large wheat estates, the australia, every monthly shipment of the wheat abroad in the depletion of national supplies, would have been the center of speculation and the cause of violent actions in the Exchanges, of the same change occurring during the last five months of the 1915 year, when, although the farmer had marketed his wheat at an average of $1.44 a bushel, the price, due to these prices, at one time rose to over $3.00 a bushel, and flour to over $17.00 a barrel. In these circumstances an independent commission was appointed by the president, upon which the farming community out of eleven and three mission unanimously agreed upon the price of $220 for No. 1. Northern based on Chicago, as a market center, and on its conclusions this committee considered to give to the farmer a price not only covering his cost and normal profit, but that would stimulate and assure his success. That their judgment has proved correct is denounced by the fact that $2,000,000 acres of winter wheat have been seeded, and the increase of about 2,000,000 acres over the previous winter is attributo known in our history and 7,000,000 acres over the pre-war average. Having established the basic price of the wheat for Administration has followed it through the manufacturing and distributing trades with limitations as to the profits to be earned in distribution and has thereby made a prime commodity to the door-of-the-company expense and at a margin between producer and consumer less than normal. The same situation confronts the American farmer and the American consumer in wheat for the next harvest year. In the matter of sugar, the same economic forces are in action to displace normal traffic, except that in this case the sugar industry has abroad of the large portion of its supplies and that, in addition to the necessity of government action to seize a division of the available sugar to the sugar industry, it would also be common business prudence to join with the Allied governments in a definite contract with the Cuban authorities as to price, rather than leave sugar to the American industry, would arise from short supplies and treasury shipping facilities. Where the various arrangements made have involved the interests of the American sugar producer, it would be made in consultation with him and the government, in order that he might be protected in his industry. In this case, as with wheat, the distributing trades in sugar regulation as to the profits in distribution of a stabilized commodity and the consumer protected as to price. The only other situation where the Food Administration has interested Itaquira has been in instances such as milk to the cities, where the producer was himself organized and was in sharp contrast to the other companies, these conflicts promised to work hardship on both producer and consumer. In such cases the Food Administration had to deal with the problem in securing a settlement between the parties. In all such cases the producer [must necessarily] be a contracting party and therefore must be satisfied party and therefore must be satisfied party and therefore, and if may be stated rhetorically, and such negotiations have been undertaken by the Food Administration except in the request of the producers. A similarity of pork products by the Allied governments, which while not sufficiently large to control the market, yet could be controlled in this instance, representative bodies were called together and upon their recommendation the Food Administration undertook, so far as the influences may be used, to use the purchases, for the purposes of maintaining a minimum price for live hogs in Chicago, in order to prevent an undue fall in the price of hogs during the purchase, and the discouragement of the producers. Beyond the above, the Food Administration has no powers or intention to in any way interest itself in price. The Food Administration has been actively interested in the elimination of profitering and speculation in the distributing trades by regulating the profits onto a market. The Food Administration should be placed upon the consumer by virtue of the high prices than bear a proper relation to producers' receipts. A still larger duty on the distribution course of food distribution in these times of the greatest dislocation in which the Administration is called upon hourly to help in many directions. The distribution course is most obviously disturbed by the condition of overseas transport and overseas market in any other food commodities than those mentioned. The law of supply is obviously interfered with in the other food commodities within the United States during the last three months by virtue of the cumulative shortage, irregularity and consequent delay of months in marketing the harvest. It is considered, however, by the Administration that the solution to this situation should be the mobility of transportation and thus the restoration of the free flow of commodities. HERBERT HOVER. EDITOR'S MAIL Mr. Abbott: In letters received from North Carolina, Texas, Indiana and Tennessee, he said Red Cross work and war work there are always most complimentary references to the Defender. We should appreciate so splendid a harbinger of news. The Red Cross work is going bravely on. We have more than a half dozen units now in Chicago among our people, besides many workers in the other cities where that our nurses be put into active Red Cross service. I think it is coming because our friend, Miss Ayres, is at the head of this department in the central division. We are forming a club to meet trains bearing soldiers in transit to the front lines. We please meet Tuesday, April 1. At Douglass Center, § p. m. I know you are one. MARY F. WARING. 521 Rowen Ave, Chicago, Ill. The Difference of Miles What a difference a few old miles can make, In the question of law and right; How man can distort God's written word And substitute love with might. And the Sunny South with its smiling face. Is mostly hell for men of the Race. Justice? The South never know the word. Love? It has yet to learn. While they use for their selfish ends the men Who acquaints and friends they spurn. It seems teach the cloak of bluff they wear. There is more hate at home than "over there." Yet who did respond like the Colored man To the call of his country's need? Has he been a shocker, or stayed at Or been false to his heart's best creed? Yet he lives he has hardly been worth a bet. In the South, where most of his days are spent. Can he vote? He doesn't know enough; at least in the Southern way. And he's treated so like the under dog, that he's crushed, and he doesn't say, "God made me a man of liberty, and not a sirt as you'd have me he." Has he a say in the government, How many would praise it he reaches How many would praise it he reaches How many would praise if he reached the top, the top, Or remember him after the war? Oh, it mighty encouraging, I must say, To only be loved for the price you pay. But what a difference, men, at last, Twint heaven and hell there'll be, When God says, "What you have done to them. I shall hold that you've done to Me." And the South in spite of its vaunted pride. With some of the Roosevelt Will die as some of the Race have died.

STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, CIRCULATION, ETC., REQUIRED BY THE ACT OF CONGRESS OF AUGUST 24, 1912. CLEANLINESS AND HEALTH Cleanliness bears a close relation to health. A person in order to be clean must be clean inside and outside. He must frequently resort to internal and external baths. The best factor in bringing about cleanliness externally is the use of plenty of soap and water with elbow grease. We desire that our readers put forth an extra effort in cleaning up and in keeping clean, but we are not going to talk so much this week on personal cleanliness as on cleanly surroundings. DR. WILLIAMS 44 We desire to call your attention to the propriety of cleaning up your yards, back and front. Your basement, your yard and your back yard should be clean and present a pleasing appearance. Every day you should appear. Every day you should be pleasing and inviting to the eye. Why not begin this work to clean up your yard? Perhaps your front yard needs a lawn. It is a rate and get busy. Pick up all the paper, rags and debris and burn them up. Next shape your lawn, fill up and level up the various holes in your yard. Trim your trees if you have any, and get the trees should should you be so fortunate to them. Open up your drains so that the spring rains will not flood your basement. And, by the way, now is a time to get upon your house and examine the roof. If the roof does not need a little repairing, Clean up the light and recoat the roof before the spring rains. Just as soon as you cleaned up your front yard sow some seeds and give it a good raking and then in doing so use job of that part of your home, turn your attention to the back yard. The Basement In our rounds we notice that many OF THE CHICAGO DEFENDER PUBLISHED weekly at Chicago, Ill., for April 1st, 1918. State of Illinois) iss.

Mitchell, managing editor of the St. Louis Argus, left last week for Hot Springs. He was injured when Mitchell was injured last summer in an accident when an automobile run into him, and was confined to his home. He is now a friend and friend attribute his present failing health, in part, to the previous accident. BIRTHDAY PARTY IN BUFFALO basements are very uninviting, and some are very offensive and unsightly. We notice that your front rooms are very clean, and you are not into your basement. In several places we observed that the ashes, cinders and dirt were piled up as high as your head. In fact, it was very difficult to clean them, and the basement appeared as though it had not been cleaned or whitewashed in twenty years. It was damp, musty and there were holes of old shoes covered in dust. We removed them a most slackening odor. You will agree with me that it will be good hygiene and sanitation to open the windows, doors, front and back, and give them a nice airflow and air out. Remove the ashes, remove the cinders, sell the old papers, old shoes and cast-off clothing and rags to the junkman or dispose of them. You will make a lot of your health and your self-pride. Community Pride We want you to give the lie to the oft-made statement that where you live—where certain people live—can readily be discerned by the way the property is kept up—from the appearance of the back yards. We want you to be careful not to drive strive to have your street, the one on which you live, to be the best kept in the way of clean yards, well kept lawns, clean front windows and stairways as are to be found in any community. Your neighbor seeing your good work will be impressed you and thus your life and efforts not be in vain. One's dress, home, place of business, automobile, if fortunate enough to own one, the front and back yards, should all correspond and should largely proclaim the charm of individual. Do not be satisfied with seeing to be or pretentious, but be real. House You Live In Your dwelling place is a very important factor in the health proposition. Your home should be a place of cleanness, comfort and convenience. Having a clean home is important, give your attention to your home. Window screens should be gotten out of the storeroom and washed and set, set away to dry and in readiness to dry. Protect the area against the fires, a protection against the fires, mosquitoes, bugs and other insects. Now, do not wait until late in the summer properly screen your house. The home should be cleaned inside and outside. If the paint is dull and sealing off in places, outside, it is better economy to have a coat of paint placed on your home than to wait until the paint is dry. Clean up the windows to damage your property. The bedroom and kitchen should be painted and calcined. Remove all rugs and send them to the cleaner or have them cleaned. Use water bugs, cooking oil or wiped down and the winter webs and dirt thoroughly got rid of. A diligent search should be made for bugs—bedbugs, water bugs, cockroaches, mice, flies, ants and out the bathroom and inquire of your doctor or druggist for a good deodorizer in your toilet. Remember that the housekeeper whose kitchen, bathroom and living room is a defensive odor at any time is not a good doctor. Remember that cobwebs, flies, bugs, mice, old, mold shoes and rugs pulled up in the basement are a great menace. Remember that people who tolerate such conditions are lazy or ignorant of the laws of sanitation. We want our readers to live as long as possible and as comfortably and with ease as possible. These two ends can best be trained in them by learning the laws of sanitation and hygiene. owning or holding 1 per cent or more of total amount of bonds, mortgages, or other securities are: (If there are more than state.)

Louisiana's Unpunished Lynchings The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People seems to have decidedly the better of the controversy with Louisiana authorities over the state's failure to punish lynching. The association; in a telegram protesting against the lynching of the Negro McNeel Kaufhouse yard at Monroe, LA, alluded to previous protests respecting the lynching of four other Negroes and asked if the Baton Rouge Chamber of Commerce had the law and order or mob violence. The court of the chamber having replied that the question was "an insult" and that "Gov. Pleasant's acts as executive, man of character and law-abiding patriotic citizen are above reproach," the association said. "What we ask is a statement from him and from representative organizations such as yours as to what steps Louisiana proposes to take to vindicate her law in face of the fact that Negroes have been lynched. In Louisiana with seven weeks. Legal action and not rhetoric is what the occasion demands." That is the point of the whole matter; What is the governor of Louisiana doing to vindicate the outraged law that stains its murders that stain its honor? Lynching will cease in the South when its authorities resolutely punish lynchers for crime against the law.—Edward J. New York Evening Post, March 22
