The chairmen of the various committees, representing the different states took pride in reading their reports. Many brought in over fifty dollars, while there were several who brought in a hundred while proud West Virginia brought in more than three hundred and last but not least Virginia brought in over one thousand dollars. Then it was that it seemed the walls would fall on account of the great praise coming up from the throngs of thousand enthusiastic friends and members.

An Appeal Our Nation is engaged in a war for its very existence. To win this war we must save food, grow great crops off foodstuffs and substitute other foods for those most easily shipped to our associates in this war and our own soldiers in France, thousands of whom are men of your own race. The Food Administration realizes that the Negro of this Nation can be of the utmost help in food conservation and food production. Every Negro man, woman and child can render a definite service by responding to the appeal and instructions of the Food Administration and its representatives. The Negroes have shown themselves loyal and responsive in every national crisis. Their greatest opportunity of the present day, to exercise this loyalty, is to help save and grow food. I am confident that they will respond to the suggestions of the Food Administration and thus prove again their patriotism for the winning of this war. (Signed) Herbert Hoover. April 21st. A Day of Prayer for Better Health Conditions. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. In response to numerous calls for suggestions as to how National Negro Health Week may be observed, the following for the first day, Sunday, April 21st. has been issued by the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, Dr. Robert R. Moton, Chairman. Specific instructions for observing the other days of Health Week have already been published in circular form and may be secured by addressing Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.

Singleton, had killed E J. Bonds, a white railroad worker about a year ago. He was arrested a week ago for this Business League Boosters that the program may be effectively carried out, it is suggested that the ministers of all the colored churches throughout the nation, set aside the Third Sunday in April, the 21, as a Day of Prayer for better health conditions and that each minister agree to preach on this day a special health sermon to his congregation, and arrange if possible for some physician to deliver a special health talk at an afternoon or evening meeting. minutes of meeting. As this much longer as possible, an ongoing discussion of local health conditions and any other matters which in his judgement will make the Clean Up Week a success. In cities and communities where there is designated a date other than April 21st to 27th for general cleaning, it may be well for colored people in such cities and communities to arrange for their cleaning to be done as part of the community cleaning. It has been emphasized however, by Mr. Allen W. Clark, of the National Paint-Up and Clean-Up Bureau of St. Louis, Mo. who will give the three cups that the local campaigns should continue longer than one week but that the opening date of cash local campaign should be April 21 27.

(NUMBER EIGHT) The Local Negro Business League of Houston, Texas, has been holding a series of rallies in various churches of the city of Houston, and in this way has carried the message of race enriched by hundreds of have been fine example of community work and th' campaign has been warmly supported by two of the splendid local colored papers "The Houston Observer" and "The Texas Freeman." The Prarie View Standard published by the Prarie View College, Prarie View, Texas its last issue of April 6th describes the visit of the members of the Houston Business League to the College, and gives a full account of the interesting addresses delivered by the members of the League. The party, from Houston included Messrs. F. L. Andrews, L. G. Axauder Jon Hubert, Phil Herbert with their wives and friends. (Continued on Page 4) The great rally at Roanoke Baptist Church last Sunday marked an epoch in local church financial history. It was a great evidence of brilliant leadership by a great pastor and a great lesson of what can be accomplished by a united church impregnated with the "pull together" spirit. We believe the not only should Roanoke relieve overir wonderful effort and compliment themselves upon having such a splendid pastor, but that citizens generally without thought of creed or color should feel proud of his grand effort. Roanoke went "over the to." Let us hope that other churches may be able to do likewise and not only in our church work, but in business organization, let us hope that events will be opened, and our people will join themselves together in the accomplishment of big things.

VOTER Important That You Read This TO THE VOTERS OF HOT Springs, ARKANSAS: We, the undersigned, Commissioners of Hot Springs, here give our reasons for granting of the franchise to the Memphis, Dallas & Gulf Railroad over Gnd Avenue. They are as follows: FIRST: We became convinced after getting full knowledge of all the facts that the Memphis Dallas & Gulf Railroad could only be retained for the city of Hot Springs by the granting of this franchise. SECOND: We found that there would be a saving to the City of Hot Springs of over $100,000.00 per year in freight rates which would go into the pocket of the people. THIRD: We found that the granting of this franchise would make the connecting link binding the great system of the Rock Island Railroad and the greater system of the Frisco Railroad to Hot Springs. FOURTH: We found that it would open up 100,000 acres of virgin soil for dairy farming, near and adjacent to Hot Springs. FIFTH: We found that it would offer opportunity for the establishment of one of the largest saw mills in the country by giving the railroad facilities to many thousand acres of virgin pine timber just north and east of Hot Springs. SIXTH: We found that it would give free of rent, an eighteen acre tract of land as a site for mit purposes, for which the Railroad park No.000.00. SEVENTH: We found that it would improve Grand Avenue from curb to curb from Valley Street to the city limits and create a fund of $1000.00 per year for the maintenance of this street. EIGHTH: We found that the failure to grant this franchise to the Menphis Dallas & Gulf would result in the removal from the City of Hot Springs the Memphis Dallas & Gulf Railroad from the City of Hot Springs to Murfreesboro, and would derive this city of this railroad. NINTH: We found that the one hope for a through he through Hot Springs depended upon the granting of this franchise, otherwise Hot Springs would terminate at the end of the two branch railroads. TENTH: We found, after personal investigation by personally going over the routes suggested with the City Engineer that the only practical route for connection of the Memphis, Dallas & Gulf Railroad with the Roek Island Railroad is over Gran venue.
