When the United States government made the allottments of 160 acres of land to members of the Five Civilized Tribes, beginning about 1899 and continuing for several years, the older Indians and Negroes secured their pick of the land. This fact explains the reason that almost all of the rich Creek Freedmen are minors, many of whom will not reach their majority for several years.
Those who had first choice of lands almost without exception selected the rich bottom farming land, leaving the rough mountainous country for those who came later. And here is where the young sters won out for the rugged lands contained practically all of the oil and gas wells and with the opening up of these wells and the high prices of the products, money flowed in to them without the slightest effort. Minors were generally sup posed in those days of allot- ing to have come out second best and many is the father or guardian of these minors who tried to sell the 160 acres of rough land for a little ready cash, and in most cases failed. One example of this is especially striking.
Bertha Rector, now 14 years of age, in about 1909 tried her best through her guardian to sell her far off quarter section in the county court for $400. but no one would bid even half that much for it. It could never be used for farming, they thought. But only a year or two later the oil discoveries in that section began and Bertha's land proved to be one of the best producers. Her income now is something like $6,000 or $8,000 a month making her allotment worth close to a million besides the the cash she is piling up for possessions when she becomes of age.
During the present year the first few of these rich Creek minors will attain their majority and will have the disposal of their fortune in their own hands, taking this power away from the guardians and the county court. Just what this unlimited power over large sums will do for these al most uneducated, unbalanced Negroes-for practically all of the Creek minors are full blood Negroes-will be interesting to see.
Edith Durant, who is 18 on July 2, 1918, owns one of the richest oil and gas producers in the famous Glenn Pool in Tulsa county, where the first oil was struck in this country. Lee Hays and Monday Durant, joint guardians, will hand over next July to her a lease by the Prairie Oil and Gas Company, giving her one-eighth of the production, $100,000 in cash, $50,000 in notes
The
and mortages and the title to a number of farms in Muskogee county, amounting'in all to more than a million dollars The oil lease was extended last May upon the payment of $90,000 and the increase in royalty from a tenth to an eighth. Edith has had much trouble with her guardians and money affairs. When her case had been transferred to Muskogee county in 1911 after four years' litigation—she has always lived near Boynton—the final report of her guardian Tate Barnett, involved another legal battle, ending in the finding that he owed her about $52,000 because of bad investments and management.
Sallie Hodge now Lee is an other Creek minor who attains the legal age this year in September. Harry Smith, a local real estate man, has charge of her fortune and will turn over to her and her hus band next September the oil allotment, 600 acres of bottom farm land, $100,000 in cash and $60,000 in notes and mort gages. The lease on her land was also extended by the Prairie Oil and Gas Company last year by a bonus of $90,000 and an increase in royalty to an eighth.
Sallie has been married for three years to Curtis Reed, a Muskogee Negro, and they have a child of two years. Sallie's allowance is only $150.00 a month now, but specials for motor,cars, trips and other in cidentals bring the figure far above that mark. Every once in a while an additional amount is allowed by the county court for trips to the north in summer and to the south in winter, for Sallie's doctor says that she can't stand the extremes of heat and cold in this country.
But the court will have nothing to say about these expen ditures or any of her others in a few months and it won't be long before all of these Creek minors come of age and show the community how to take care of their own swollen for tunes. The Democrat.
Knoxville, Tenn.—A strong wave of resentment and indignation is sweeping Tennessee because of the treatment that was accorded B. Robinson and his wife by Deputy Sheriff D. S. Wilson and Johnson, at the Mascot railroad station Robinson, who was employed at the Mascot Zinc Plant. several miles from Knoxville, decided to seek employment out side of Tennessee. He bought tickets for himself and wife and was awaiting his train, when Wilson and Johnson, who, it is said, are in the employ of the Zinc Mines Co., brutally assaulted and struck him on the head in "Southern Chivalric Style." and also told him that he was charged with carrying a pistol, thereby placing him under arrest.

If the formation of the colored divisions and Negro Officer's training school had been left to a few Southerners and copperheads in the West, East and North, there would have been no Negro officers. But the leveled headed and christian men of this country, seeing there danger ahead and well convinced of their bravery, honest heads and true hearts in battle and in war which has been shown in all wart, keenly realized and appreciated the Negro's true worth Now that we have our own soldiers and officers, we must at home give, sacrifice and starve that America might win. She must win and you must buy bonds, you and you and you. No slacker is worthy to be an American citizen or to enjoy the blessings of liberty and free government. Your fifty dollar Bond will protect 1000 soldiers from the small pox and 666 from typhoid. It will assure the safety of 139 wounded soldiers from lock-jaw, the germs swarm in the Belgian soil. It will render painless 400 operations, supply 2 miles of band ages—enough to bandage 555 wounds. It will care for 160 injuries the way of the first aid packets. It will furnish enough adhesive plaster and surgical gauze as to benefit thou sands of wounded soldiers besides every purchaser performs a distinct individual service to his country and to our boys fighting in France. Just as our soldiers are going "over the top" thru fires of hate, caste and proscription, so must we do as much and be real Americans in duty.
True Americans will work, encourage and lend money to the Government. Hundreds of thousands of the flower of our manhood and womanhood have been called to arms and service and have taken away a great deal from the productive forces of the country. Now is it not our vital duty in the face of lessened production which produces a drain upon our resources that we work up and speed up to make up for the lessened production; economize in consumption to lessen as much as possible the drain upon our resources, lend money to the Government to prosecute the war successfully, by making our own soldiers powerful effective and victorious? The American Negro who does not help America to the limit of of his means and ability automatically helps Germany. You either help or hinder. If we do not take our duties as seriously at home as our boys take them overseas, the results to them will be disastrous. In short if our own dear boys and relatives can and will give their lives, surely we can lend our money. Cooperate with them buy a bond or obstruct and make them sick, suffer and starve.
NO VICTORY FOR UNITED STATES WITHOUT SACRIFICE
It is sheer folly to suppose that we can fight through this war without sacrifice here at home as well as on the battle field. The business of the Nation right now is war, and if we expect to put our strength into the fight before it is too late it will be suicidal to follow a policy of "business as usual." Americans who are spending as usual and consuming as usual are obstructing the rapid increase of our fighting forces and delaying the day of peace and security. It is up to everyone to help—to fight, buy bonds and eat less.

Your banker can take the bank and borrow money you find yourself in need of tacking at this time is just as the bonds and the money in bull through this crisis all time fires in your hearts, in the effort and sacrifice.
When you and your neighbor have bought your Liberty Bonds, don't take them home and hide them in the cupboard. Take them to your banker and have him give certificates of deposit for the bonds. Your banker can take these bonds to a Federal Reserve bank and borrow money for your use in case you suddenly find yourself in need of funds. Hiding a bond in your stocking at this time is just as bad as hoarding money. Keep the bonds and the money in circulation and the country will pull through this crisis all right.
Keep the home fires in your hearts, in their hearts thru your service, exertion, effort and sacrifice. That is not lip patriotism. Millions of children have bought Thrift Stamps, and you ought to buy a Liberty Bond and sacrifice. Negroes have been saved to service. Patriotism now and fight for our rights later on.

Ballou Order Causes Trouble
Troop Denied Usual Absence From Camp by Hot-headed Captain
According to reports from Camp Upton three hundred members of the Headquarters Company of the 367th Infantry have been denied the right to leave camp until a confession is made as to who tore down the order recently issued by Major General Ballou at Camp Funston, Kans., advising all colored soldiers connected with the 92nd Division to refrain from demanding their legal rights and to put policy above the law.
It is said that last Friday the order was posted in the barracks of the Headquarters Company and was quickly torn down; another was posted which met a similar fate. When the third order was put up for the soldiers to read and it, too, was removed Captain Norris, the only white captain in the regiment commanding a company, became indignant and called the soldiers together.
Captain Norris is reported to have told his men that he considered the tearing down of the order an insult to General Ballou and himself, and is said to have declared: "Not a man is going to leave this company on pass until hell freezes over unless the man is found who did this."
As the result of this drastic action on the part of Captain Norris not a non-commissioned officer or private of the Headquarters Company was permitted to go to New York Saturday on leave, and until the time of going to press the order was still operative, as no information had been secured leading to the person or persons who tore down the Ballou order.
Captain Norris has been popular with his men and is generally liked. It is thought that he "lost his head" when he declared that not a man was going to leave camp on pass until hell frooze over unless the man was found who tore down the order.
Since the publication in last week's issue of the Age of the Ballou order officials of the War Department have been bombarded with protests against what colored Americans claim was an unnecessary move to humiliate the Negro and "teach him his place." Better results would have have been obtained, it is pointed out, had General Ballou called his colored officers at Camp Funston in executive session and frankly discussed the matter with a view to arriving at some conservative plan of showing the men of the division the wisdom of exercising judgment so as not to provoke unnecessary race controversies.

Colored Regiment Excels on Range
Gives Best Exhibition of Shooting Yet Seen at Camp Upton
Camp Upton, L. I.—The 367th Infantry, New York City's colored regiment, which is training here in Camp, but which is not part of the Metropolitan Division, had its first day on the rifle range yesterday as a unit and it proceeded to methodically "shoot rings around" the best the camp affords in marksmanship. Practically the entire regiment went to the range and the work for the first day was of such a nature to prompt unrestrained praise from the experts.
The regiment will be on the range for the next ten or fifteen days, until every man has been 'shot'.
Lieutenant James M. H Wallace, Ordnance Department, rifle instructor and demonstrator at Camp Upton, who had visited the other canonments, was especially loud in his praise of the first day's shooting.
"This is the best shooting I have seen in this camp," he said said. "The results obtained today are remarkable and they speak highly for the preliminary training which the men have received and are now receiving. It has been methodical and thorough. It also speaks splendidly for the new 1917 United States rifle, which the men are using. I do not believe there has been any better shooting in the National Army than we witnessed today."
Baltimore-All Baltimore is still talking about the great impression that the 368th Infantry made Saturday, when 12,000 soldiers from Camp Meade marched in the big military parade. The day was a memorable one in that not only it marked the first anniversary of the entrance of the United States into the world war and the launching of the third Liberty Loan, but for the fact that President Wilson was here to review the marching troopers and at night delivered an address that clearly set forth the aims of the country in its efforts to crush the Germans.
There were four divisions in the parade, the 3,600 men of the 368th Infantry being the only Colored one. These men include the draftees from Tennessee, Southern Maryland, the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Pennsylvania. From the time the parade started at Central avenue and Jefferson street until it passed the reviewing stand at Mt Royal avenue and St. Pau' street, where President and Mrs. Wilson and a party of distinguished white citizens sat, the Colored troopers were given an ovation that far exceeded that given the three divisions of white troopers.

My dear Co-Worker:
PETITIONS! PETITIONS! PETITIONS are the things that will prove that there is countrywide sentiment and determination back of this demanding that an end be put to mob violence. Now, I will not rest until every Congressman is appealed to to take a stand for justice and protection. Will you get men to sign these Petitions in ink, and you divide the number and send them directly to the members of Congress from your State? Send them to men in the House and in the Senate. See that the work is neatly done so as to reflect the intelligence that there is back of this movement. Tell our people to take pride and pleasure in this. Resolution, begging Federal Investigation be taken up by Congress. Now, we must win. God will help us if we help ourselves. Keep at it! WORK!
I have good news for you. God is answering our prayers.

The storm last Tuesday night prevented the coming out of the full membership of the checker club, so that the tests which had been laid out for the different ones had to go over until evening was the scoring of Blakemore against Mason. Of course he was far outplayed by Mason, but it was not expected that he would even get a draw. Mason means to come back with vengeance next week.

The new time is working no hardship with the church services here. The choir, under the management of the newly elected organist, Mrs. Brown, and Rev.

The junior choir, recently organized in the Sunday school, will soon be able to sing for the morning service. The trustees are leaving no stones unturned nor sparing pains in the attempt to pull of a record-breaking rally Sunday, May 19th, and when the big gun fires the old enemy debt will surely be put out of commission.

Three Veteran Women, Old and Long Respected Citizens.
Denver has been greatly shocked through the loss of three of her long, respected and prominent citizens, in the persons of Mesdames Ella Harris of Washington avenue, Susie Troutman of 3131 Humboldt street, and Frances T. Bruce, 2231 Glenarm place, known as "Mamma" Bruce. Never in the history of the Star have so many deaths of our prominent and useful people occurred so heavily in such a short time, especially as has reference to our female sex, as have occurred in this past week, month and year. All of the deceased were ardent church workers, progressive citizens and loyal to their own. Mrs. Frances Bruce was one of the charter members of the Household of Ruth, No. 376, and for years and years their faithful treasurer. Her loss will be deeply regretted and keenly felt by her order. Scarcely any person outside of the immediate family knew of the serious illness of Mrs. Susie Troutman, and her sadden death came as a terrible shock to her large circle of friends, who regret their grievous loss.
Mrs. Susie Mary Troutman, daughter of James and Mahalia Davenport, was born in Nelson county, Kentucky, March 16, 1863. When but a mere girl she was married to Howard Troutman, Sr., and to this union eight children were born.
Mr. and Mrs. Troutman came to Denver in 1881, when Mr. Troutman entered business as a contractor and ranked among the leading business men of the community until death removed him, in 1913.
Mr. and Mrs. Troutman lived happy and useful citizens in the community and the congeniality of their lives radiated until they drew to them a large circle of friends, who, with the love any loyalty of her children, sustained her the few years that she survived him.
Her demise has stunned the family and friends, as her illness was very brief. She is survived by eight children, Mrs. Harry Bashee, Mrs. Lawrence Lightner, Mrs. Bessie Jackson, James, Lynnwood, Howard, Jr., Elmer and Tom Troutman; one grandchild, Harold Jackson; one sister, Mrs. Ed L. Thomas of Chicago; one brother, George Davenport of Louisville Ky; niecee nephews, and a large circle of friends. Thus she closed her eyes in Eternity's sleep, and may her ushes rest in peace. Earth's loss is heaven's gain
Mrs. Susie Troutman will be buried Sunday from Zion Baptist Church.

NEGROES APPEAL FOR JUSTICE.
To the Hon. Mr. K. A. Scheid, Commissioner of Public Safety, and Members of the Board of Commissioners of the City of Salt Lake: Gentlemen:—Greeting and congratulating you as the highest officers of our noble city, of which we as colored citizens constitute a part of its constituency. We beg to submit the following: But permit us first to assure you that we do not come to you with any spirit of condemnation upon your part, but we feel that we have a very serious and just cause to present to you. We wish further to assure you that we stand for all that is true and all that honest manhood can stand for. We wish further to assure you that we stand firm as any human can stand for law and order, and condemn all who do not stand for such, particularly at this most crucial time, when it seems that nothing but the shedding of innocent blood will keep imperialism from ruling the world.
We wish further to assure you that we do not bring any condemnation against the police department as a unit; but it is our desire to call your attention, gentlemen, to a matter that happened on the corner of Second South and Main street, Tuesday evening, April 9th, between the hours of 8:15 and 8:30 o'clock, when three young persons, a young woman and two boys of color, were standing there waiting for a car. (Names, Thelma Steward, Wallace Thurman and Wendel Hicks.) A drunken United States soldier of the Twentieth regiment came down the street, came up and went out of his way to push this 15-year-old boy off the sidewalk, knocked him down and beat him until this young woman interfered. The soldier turned on her and knocked her down twice. When she endeavored to stop their escape, she was snatched into a car with the license number 969. Although she was screaming at the top of her voice, not an officer could be seen. She was taken to Third South and West Temple and there thrown out by these men. Although they had the number of the license on the car, and its driver making his confession to taking the man to First West and Fourth South, there was no serious effort made to apprehend these men.
We admit one of the boys and the young woman were taken out last Friday to Fort Douglas to identify the soldier, but this was too late. No matter what mark had been on him remember four days had passed and the marks could have healed up.
We therefore condemn the action of the officers on that evening in the most bitter terms, and ask your honors to take this matter up and find out why there was no more effort put forth to apprehend these men, with the information they had.
We plead for a democracy that will be safe for all men in Salt Lake City, and not a land of autocracy.

Everybody is talking about the Y. W. C. A. Double Quartet, which is composed of the following named persons: Naomi Brown, Margaret Morrison, Vernal Barnett, Jennie Le Noir, Alberta Moore, Adah Elements, Mabel Cole, and Leone Bray, accompanist. Denver will not be satisfied until she hears Vernal Barnett play the Negro melody, "He Rose," transcribed by J. Rosamond Johnson; while all the people who know and some to whom Naomi Brown is unknown, will be tickled to death to hear this young sweet soprano singer. Harry T. Burleigh's "The Glory of the Day Was in Her Face." When Adah Clements, our new contraltoist, sings "Little Mother of Mine," by Harry T. Burleigh, every hearer in her presence will be pleased to know what Denver talent can do. Then Leone Bray will greet the audience with that famous popular Negro melody, "Deep River," transcribed by Coleridge-Taylor, to the delight of everyone. One of the most attractive numbers upon the program is our hitherto unheard of lyric soprano, Marguerite Morrison, who will sing so sweetly "Just You," while another star in our musical horizon is Alberta Moore, with her soft, penetrating

voice, will sing that always popular favorite, "Jean," by Harry Burleigh. All of these ladies are well known to you and they are appearing that night to show you what musical jewels Denver possesses. Tomorrow it may be your daughter.
The Y. W. C. A. Quartet (single), who have sung to crowded houses in Colorado Springs and white churches in Denver, will sing Negro melodies in the first part of the program; and in order to bring forward additional talent, "The Sleeping Beauty" cantata wherein Bettina Jackson takes the part of the Princess; Mabel Cole, the part of the Prince, assisted by Jennie Le Noir and the chorus, will be presented to the gratification of Denver's severest musical critics.

MONDAY, APRIL 29th MOORE FIELD STORY DAY AT THE WOMAN'S CLUB
Plans have been completed by the Denver branch of the N. A. A. C. P. for an effective finale to its membership drive on Monday, April 29th. It will be known as "Moorefield Story Day," as a fitting tribute to the great leader who has sacrificed of his time and money in securing the victories this association has won for our race. Practically every home in Denver will be visited on that day in the effort to bring up Denver's quota of 567 to the 50,000 members asked for by Mr. Story. The association is fighting for the greater emancipation of the colored people from the burden of prejudice, race discrimination, segregation, and injustice of every kind.
Whether of the white race, or colored, if you are an American this si your fight. The fee is $1 per year, and it is a dollar invested in American manhood and manhood rights. The drive will end with a rousing meeting at the Negro Women's Club Home. Bishop Irving P. Johnson will deliver the principal address and the Y. M. C. A. Glee Club will furnish the music. Everybody welcome. Refreshments free.
PROGRESS OF THE PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF REV. J. A. THOS-HAZELL FOR THE PAST NINE YEARS.
By Miss G. M. Striplin.
We have gathered here tonight, my friends, the object of our coming together has a dual meaning. We have adopted this method of securing funds for the promotion of our work here. And further to show in our feeble way our thanks and appreciation to Rev. Thos-Hazell for his most helpful and wise leadership. We are not able to appreciate fully his true worth, neither to the community or to the church. Rev. Thos-Hazell came to the people's Church quite nine years ago. He found here a church very much run down, the membership greatly depleted. With the assistance and kindness of one of the white presbyters he was enabled to get around to see those members who has strayed away; the result was that they returned to the church, the membership at this time being only fifteen communicants. Rev. Thos-Hazell was not long in finding out that church work in Denver was uphill work and different indeed to what he had been accustomed to in other places, and if there were to be a Colored Presbyterian Church in Denver that it meant much hard labor and many sleepless nights trying to devise ways and means for the development of the work. He was handicapped from the very beginning, as he found quite a large debt on the church property, with a few poor though hard-working parishioners to assume this obligation of $20,000. On the other hand, he did not have the co-operation and, I might add, the good will and sympathy of some of the sister churches, for what mattered whether there was a Colored Presbyterian Church in Denver or not? He soon found this out and learned to stand alone. Being a man well fitted for his life's work in every respect, these discouraging features of the work did not deter him. No obstacle seemed too great for him to overcome. So we see him through all these years working with might and main. As a result we have seen the People's Church grow from a mere handful to a membership of 139. It is not necessarily quantity so much we need as quality. Many found the standard of Presbyterianism too high for them and wisely and kindly took French leave. To the ordinary minister these obstacles would have been very discouraging; not so, however, with Rev. Thos-Hazell. His motto seemingly was, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheth me." Therefore what had he to fear? Under his leadership the church has grown from a state of insignificance to that of importance in the lives and hearts of the citizens of Denver. The People's Church has become a force to contend with in the community life of the Queen City of the Plains and beyond the limits of the city and county of Denver. The first step the presbyter took was to indoctrinate the membership into the principles of Presbyterianism, the majority of the
members being of other denominational persuasion. Through his pulpit discourses we learn that preaching is teaching. Those of us who had been accustomed to a mere emotional mode of worship he has endeavored to show that God is an intelligent Being who is not deaf, neither is He a thousand miles off, but He is ever present to interpret even a sincere sigh; and that this God knows our thoughts, be they uttered or unexpressed. Again, he has shown us that the money which we pay into the church is an act of worship without which offertory our worship to Almighty God is incomplete. And that this money should never be regarded as a side issue, as so many people think. Through him we learn that the church was never intended by God to be run by entertainments, as so many would have it, but rather by the Biblical method of regular, individual and proportionate giving that finds expression in a fuller, more complete, richer and more acceptable way than even the tithing of the Old Testament economy.
Thus, following in the footsteps of the Lowly Jesus. Hence the command and reward, "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life"—not one year or five years, but "unto death."

A banquet of potential character, promoted by Mrs. Goldie Hughes with the following named persons: Misses Jennie Harris, Julia A. Wilson, Bessie J. White; Mesdames Nellie Lander, Lula J. Brown, Lilly Hughen, Messrs. W. S. Evans, J. I. Butler, W. F. Lander and W. Brickler, surprised Rev J. A. Thos-Hazell, pastor of the People's Presbyterian Church, last Friday night, the occasion being the eve of the minister's birthday. The chapel was most attractively decorated. Mr. J. R. Woolridge as toastmaster most graciously presided. The audience was composed of the faithful members, their friends and well-wishers of the church. Participants on the program, Misses Cleo Hobson, Mabel Cole, G. Striplin, Prof. V. Spratlin, Attorney F. Taggart, W. A. Gatewood. Never in the history of the church has there been a better social and Christian spirit exhibited than on this occasion. The presence of the membership and friends was another evidence of the love and es-

teem in which the pastor is held. Mr. W. F. Lander presented a most elegant birthday cake manufactured by a distinguished Scotchman, representing the birthplace of Presbyterianism. Inscribed on the bosom of the cake was the official title of the pastor, with the name of the donor. The program selections were all strong and felicitous. The address of Judge Taggart was full of encomium. Mr. Gatewood's, witty and humorous. Miss Wilson's, pointed though brief. Miss Strippin's paper was a review of the "Progress of the People's Church for the Past Nine Years." By request the paper is published. Rev. Thos. Hazell responded most feelingly to all the good things said of him. He thanked the people for the kind remembrance and the expression of their devotion to him. And further assured all that the People's Church had reached the meridian of success and prosperity this ninth year of his pastorate. The supper was well prepared, sumptuous and appetizing. After much of fun and good time the gathering dispersed long after 11 o'clock.

THE PROTEST: LET NO SUCH
DECISION STAND.
I desire to protest against the ruling and decision in the case wherein a Colored officer, or soldier, must swallow discrimination without protest and do humbly yet strenuously petition the War Department to change any such ruling or decision which is not based upon a man's moral or legal right of action, use or enjoyment of a privilege. I further protest because such a decision is vicious in principle, unjust in operation in an army of democracy and un-American in suggestion.

EAST MAKES LITTLE CHANGE
Methods of Agriculture About Bethlehem the Same Now as in the Days of Boaz.
Belt Sahur is a small village lying eastward at the foot of the mountain whereon is built Bethlehem, and is what might be called its agricultural suburb. In the broad level valley beyond we see the shepherds' fields where the angels, the first Christmas eve, appeared to men in the lowliest walks of life. Here Boaz must have had his fields, for they are the only large ones near to Bethlehem suitable for raising grain, and such as would be in the possession of "a mighty man of wealth," as Boaz is depicted as being.
After threshing, the next process is to separate the wheat from the chaff. This is done by the aid of the gentle breezes that usually arise during the evening hours, no matter how warm the summer day may have been.
The tools are very simple. A two-pronged fork, converted from a single limb of an oak tree, is used to move the long straw, and with this the worker stirs the grain during the process of treading it out. For the winnowing a fork, also made of oak wood, but with five flat prongs, is used. This is the implement referred to as the "fan," of which we read in sacred story. A wooden shovel also plays its part.
In this land of no change, or at
at least slow change, it is quite conceivable that on and around these very
threshing floors, with the same appearance of life in olden times as now,
centered one of the Bible's most
charming stories.—Christian Herald.

THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH
David E. Qver, D.D., Minister,
Telephones Y. 6007, Y. 9377.
} The two weeks revival services
conducted by the pastor closed Fri-
day, with a marked success. Begin-
ning this week all the church activ-
ities will resume their routine of work.
Services were largely attended Sun-
day and splendid sermons were
preached morning and evening. The
morning text was: “And it came to
pass, that as they went in the way,
a certain man said unto Him, Lord,
I will follow thee withersoever thou
goest. And Jesus said unto him:
Foxes have holes and birds of the air
have nests; but the son of man hath
jnot where’ to lay his head.” Luke
9:57-58. In discussing this text the
jpastor brought out many beautiful
jend touching points. At one time de-
lclaring that ff in our modern exper.
liences who had power to transport
{ourselves to the time when these
words were spoken, a heavier sense
or condemnation would fall upon us.
‘That we would find that Jesus was
about as homeless today as he was
\two thousand years ago in Galilee—
{and that the very reasons that kept
Jesus out of the hearts of men then,
those same reasons kept him out of
the hearts of men today. There is a
great tragedy gnawing at the heart of
{the community because Jesus is left
out,
Additions to the church: Sister
Howard and Brother Israel Walker.

day. There were several visitors in

EXPLAINING ANTICS OF BEAN
Nothing Really Mysterious About Seeds Which Furnish Mexican Peons Cheap Gambling Paraphernalia.
One of the favorite amusements of the Mexican peon is the game he calls "los brincones," which might be translated "the jumpers." A circle of dusky laborers grouped about an apparently empty space in the sunny dust is a characteristic sight south of the Rio Grande. The objects of interest, invisible to the casual eye, are the "brincones," or jumping beans.
The game is one calculated to appeal to the Mexican temperament, being a form of pure gambling associated with the irreducible minimum of physical effort. To the visitor it bears also a touch of mystery.
The players draw a small circle in the dust and lay therein a number of little brown beans, which are really not beans at all, but the seeds of some native plant. Exposed to the rays of the sun and the solemn gaze of the players, after a time the beans begin to move. They turn, they stir, they actually hop about. The lure of chance consists in betting on which bean will first jump out of the circle, and apparently the game is fair. There would seem to be no way of "framing" the mysterious beans.
The Mexican neither knows nor cares why the beans jump, though their behavior is most unusual for members of the vegetable kingdom. Asked for an explanation, he will shrug and remark that it is the nature of "brincones" to jump. Why question the wisdom of providence, which has seen fit to provide her children with a cheap and satisfactory apparatus for games of chance? Science, however, steps in with the explanation that the innocent brown bean in question is the home of a certain larvae, whose spasmodic movements early in life are responsible for the antics of its vegetable home.
Need of Influence.
"Every one of us needs influence and some impulse outside of ourselves to compel us to strive for our ideals. The best impulse that can uplift the life is the friendship of Jesus. He says: 'Ye are as friends if ye do whatsoever I command you.'"
True Thanksgiving.
It is eminently desirable that we should emphasize the moral obligation which rests upon every child of God to cultivate the spirit of thanksgiving and to manifest that spirit in its full beauty and power in all the relations of life. The thankful spirit reveals itself in a broad and true sympathy with others who are less fortunate than ourselves. It delights to remember the widow and the orphan and strives to carry the message of joy and gladness into the homes of the sick and the sorrowing of Thanksgiving Day. It looks unto God as the author of every good and perfect gift, and insists on sharing the blessings which he has bestowed with those who are needy and in want—American Messenger.
Cause of Car Sickness
Car sickness, so common among children, is caused in the same way as seasickness, or the dizziness produced by spinning around rapidly or swinging. The fluid in the semi-circular canals of the ears is set in motion by the movement of the body and tends to keep on moving even after the body has come to a standstill.
Once accustomed to the new motion, the traveler acquires his "sea legs," and if he is at sea some time in rough weather he will need re-education for the stationary on leaving the ship, for he will feel as if the land were swaying under his feet.

AFTER THE SHOW VISIT
"Join the N. A. A. C. P.
"Subscribe for The Crisis."
"Help fight to make the race—
"Physically free from peonage,
"Mentally free from ignorance,
"Politically free from disfranchise
ment.
"Socially tree from insult."
No race in all history ever had a more commanding slogan than this. When Mr. Moorefield Story, former president of The American Bar Association and now president of our National body, appeared before the U. S. Supreme Court last May to argue the Loomisville segregation case, he positively refused to accept a cent for his service, and later, when the Supreme Court handed down that memorable decision declaring all such ordinances to be unconstitutional, he again refused to accept money tendered him by grateful nieces, and said the only tribute of honor he asked was that we build our membership up to at least 50,000. Should we not, as citizens proud of our growing into the fuller enjoyment of our rights, freely and unstintedly pay this humble tribute to Moorefield Story, the eminent Boston attorney who knows men by their worth and not by their color. He is our foremost white champion of manhood rights in America today. He is the very re-incarcation of Sumner and Garrison, those great yearning soils to whom God spoke. The Denver Branch asks the citizens of this place to do their part. May 1st is the date set for this number to be acquired. Join yourself. Ask your white friends to join.
In asking for a membership of 50, 000, Mr. Story virtually asks that many Negroes to clasp hands and stand in a solid phalanx for their own uplift, protection and advancement.
To the American Woodmen members and others who wish to join at this time: Your deputy desires to urge you to make a special effort to enlarge our membership in this camp. Our goal is 300. Everyone who is interested phone York 4612J. S. B. W. May, Deputy.
