Cabbage, tomatoes and cucumbers are my specialties. Early cabbage is the best money-maker of all, and this is mainly because I get it on the market very early, usually before any is shipped in. Next to cabbage, my most profitable crop is early tomatoes. Practically all of my stuff is sold to the local stores, to which I make daily deliveries. I have never made any effort to develop a retail trade. Probably that could be made into a concerted site, based on those bought. I had the time to devote to it. As it is, I am often kept busy evenings and holidays waiting on people who drive out here for fresh vegetables. The lots on which I began were about six acres. For several years I rented the land, and then bought it; the rest of my land, which was purchased later, is a separate piece just out of town. The buildings on the original place were poor, but I did not let that fact bother me. I knew that whatever such a land, I help. I think I was a little more eager than the quality of the house and barn. About four and one-half acres are watered by an irrigation system. For lack of funds I was a long time getting this. With it I can raise two to four crops a year on the same ground. It helps. I think I most appreciate the fact that my children have been educated. I have four boys and two girls, and all have been graduated from the University of Kansas. One of the boys is now a practicing physician. I am a student here.

Houston, whose work in the educational and fraternal fields is well known throughout the nation, is head of the Household of Ruth of Texas, and has wielded a powerful influence in the circles of the order for HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1924 Houston Contractor Lands Job Of Erecting State Temple Here; Plans To Start Work February That Houston will be the home of the state temple of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of the Texas jurisdiction; that a handsome, modern building will be erected on the site purchased by the grand lodge at the corner of Louisiana Street and Prairie Avenue; that work will commence on the structure February 1, 1924, and be rushed to completion by August 1, 1924—were all decided at a meeting of several members of the cabinet in this city last Saturday. Representing the grand lodge of the order were H. G. Goree of Texarkana, grand master; Prof. G. W. Jackson, Corsicana, deputy grand master; Prof. David Abner, Jr., Houston, district most noble governor of the Household of Ruth; J. H. Riddle, Denison, secretary of the endowment department, and James T. Ewing, Austin, grand secretary. Several sealed bids were submitted by contractors on the proposed building, both with and without the roof garden features, and the lowest bidder was Contractor C. K. Smith of Houston, whose bid of $247,500 for the construction of the temple, minus the roof garden, but with constructural provisions for its addition later, was accepted by the grand lodge officers. Contractor Smith agreed to begin work on the building by Saturday, February 1, 1924, and have the building ready for occupancy by the time of the grand lodge next summer, which will be held in Houston; to also employ as many colored men as possible and practicable. The figures of the only colored contractor to bid on the building were greatly in excess of the successful contractor, the race concern bidding $237,500, or $80,000 more than the lowest bidder who landed the job. The awarding of the contract for the immediate erection of the construction of the building for its temple sets at rest rousers in the construction of the building in this city, and means that before the end of the present year Houston will be the proud possessor of the most modern office facilities in the convention building owned by our people in Texas. All the original plans, as en tect W. Sidney Pittman of Dal- las, will be incorporated in this building, excepting the roof garden. The grand lodge officers concluded that the order was not in a financial shape to add this feature just now, but ample pro- visions will be made in the construction of the building for its addition later. The plans and specifications, this temple will be both modern and complete throughout, with hot and cold water in each suite of offices, electric elevators, electric light fixtures, ventilation devices; all rooms outside rooms and all fixtures and equipment modern and mani- The construction will consist of steel, concrete and brick and will be fire-proof and a credit, not only to the order and race, but to the city and state.

The main floor will be available for business purposes; the second and third floors will be utilized for auditorium purposes, while the second and third floors will be devoted to offices.

(G. 1914, Western Newspaper Union.) The teeth stroke from the strong hand of the Almighty, the teeth turn hard and the teeth turn soft. Pharoh to tine and make him willing to let Israel go. The Israelites went out on their way to the promised land and were compelled to walk the path of the Philistines the Journey would have been comparatively short, but, as they went along, the path that way, let, going through the land of the Philistines, they would be dislodged and would turn back to turn back to Egypt. The way of the wilderness was a long route, and they would have to walk the path to turn back. Then by that they escaped the experience of war, but learned the crooked and broken ones of their own hearts (Jerub 8:2). The Lord went before them in a pillar of cloud by a day and a pillar of fire by light. He not only thus indicated the presence of God with them in it. At the Lord's direction they turned from their first course and were made to face something difficult. They were then forced to mountains on either side. The strenken Egyptians had recovered from their narrow and now saw the desert beyond. They could not extricate themselves. They interpreted this to mean that Moses was unable to lead them out of their difficulty. Thereafter, they was in pursuit of them from going out of the country. 1. The Miraculous Escape of the Is rasites (Exod. 14:21, 22). They were in a straitened condition, but had no reason to fear, for the Lord had led them there. There seems to have been a twofold object in leading them into this particular place: to strengthen the faith of the people and to lay a snare for the overthrow of the Egyptians. The people, as usual, displayed their unbelief, even censuring the men for their return out of Egypt. Moses resided to their pouring by saying: "Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord." Standing still in such a trial is faith-taking hold on God's promises. God said to Moses: "Wherefore priest thou unto me? I speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward." Having had His definite promise, to have prayed longer would have been unbelief. The lifting up of the rod simply served as something tangible upon which their Lord could be they, and to the great step at a time without raising any question as to the outcome, for from the same source from which came the command came the power to obey. The presence of the Lord was adapted to their needs as they went forward. The form of the Divine presence and help is determined by His people's needs. The eloud then passed to the rear and held the enemy at bay. The presence of God had a double effect: dark and cold, and a cold to the enemy. His light and coldness. His people. As they went forward the very thing which seemed their destruction became a wall of protection on either side. 11. The Overthrow of the Egyptians (Kod. 14-28-31). Darwin and his people muddy pursued them. They inmately thought that they, in their unbelief, would be punished by children. The Lord leaked forth from the cloud and wrought confusion among the Egyptians. He not only punished them, but also charter wheels, cutting them to realise that God was fighting against them. He then directed Moses to stretch out destruction upon the Egyptians. III. The Bong of Triumph. (IBcod: 15:1-21). Standing on the other shore of the island, they silently stagger the song of triumphing warriors in raucous deliverance and overwhelming defiance. They attributed all to God, and the day was a similar day but a similar day a similar but larger congregation will sing the song of triumphing warriors in raucous deliverance. (R. 15, 33).

One of our local journalistic contemporaries carried an editorial dissertation recently that sought to prove that the colored man is not discriminated against in the courts of the South, taking as a predicate for the argument a North Carolina supreme court justice's decision in a case in which a colored man was the defendant. This Tar Heel state supreme court justice, according to this newspaper, cited the fact that in his state colored Americans have equal protection of the laws; that North Carolina is spending $4,000,000 annually on Negro education, $2,000,000 for colored teachers and $1,000,000 for new school houses, aside from money spent for colored colleges and normals; that the 1923 legislature of that state appropriated $445,000 for the establishment of a colored agricultural and mechanical college, $50,000 for colored reformatory and $10,000 for its maintenance; that libraries and parks for colored are provided along with those for whites; that everywhere the policy is to provide equal advantages for the colored people with the whites. North Carolina's wonderful program in behalf of bettering the condition of its colored citizenry is one of the exceptional undertakings of the South for racial amity and good will, and the late president was largely instrumental in setting this great program in motion. North Carolina has an Inter-Racial Commission that really functions, and that committee has been quite instrumental in putting over, or suggesting and aiding this far-reaching program. But North Carolina is an outstanding exception in this respect among her sister states of the South, many of which have done very little for the black man since his emancipation, save to discredit him in the racial harassment and outrage him in various and sundry ways and manners. Yes, Georgia recently completed a building program in Atlanta, resulting in one high school and four grammar school structures, involving $1,200,000; the migration of the colored brother to the North and East and racial blocs on bond issues were necessary; the program was even suggested, to say nothing of being undertaken. But where in Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Texas and other Southern states, save in a few isolated communities, can a colored person get anything like a semblance of a fair trial, particularly in the criminal courts; in educational facilities and opportunities; in fair and decent living conditions; in respectable and fair housing; in fair and decent business; in square deal; in park and recreational provisions; in being immune and secure from the wrath and hellish depredations of the mob? The Informer has often stated that the black man generally gets a fair deal in civil cases in the South, but such precious few of our people are ever involved in such cases. Failure to have business at the court houses of Dixie are usually brought before the bar in criminal courts, where the iniquitous fee system obtains and where the mere fact that the prisoner is black condemns and convicts him before any evidence has been adduced or a single witness, either pro or con, has been placed on the stand. This particular Southern court policy reminds us of a Western fraternity, said: "We'll give the defendant a fair trial and then hang him." Penance or abject slavery exists in nearly all of the Southern states, and the victims of this obnoxious and damnable system of bondage are generally black men, women and children! The colored man wants something else besides schools, teachers and justice in civil cases—even in "Bam!" and the efficient, but they are not sufficient and all-satisfying! The economic situation in the South works to the disadvantage and hardship of the colored man; and, it was not until the war of 1861 that the South began to pay even pay the colored skilled and unskilled laborer anything like a decent wage. Because of the racial complexion of the South, the colored man could be more involved in the work of organized laborer fore, he was and is the easy victim and tool of the designing, hog- THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JAN. 26, 1924 gish and avaricious capitalistic group—virtually stranded between Seyla (organized labor) and Charybids (capital). Let's bring the issue nearer home. In all Texas, despite the state's size, wealth and its large color-coded population, the state or home has made for the betterment and improvement of the colored race? We have one little state school for colored teachers; one city has a colored library (Houston); but here the matter about ends. ("You know it's the truth!") We have one little state school about Texas' educational program and policy is that there is little discrimination in the per capita appropriation for colored and white scholars; but, gehena, there is such vast disparity in the salaries paid the teachers of the two races and the buildings and physical equipment of the schools for the two races. Black students in the rat-trap called a colored high school building would reflect discredit upon Podunk Creek or some other jerk-water settlement; while the ward school buildings are fire traps, health menaces and abominations both in the sight of man and God! Very few Southern cities make any civil provisions for the sections (ghetto) of the city occupied by colored residents, and virtual all the money is spent in making improvements in the parts of the city where black men are railroaded to prisons and penal institutions, and what the kangaroo courts lack in giving the colored race a fair and impartial trial, the court of Judge Lynch makes up the deficit and brings up the rear. If the other race in the South who still cling tenaciously to the Dred Scott decision—"A Negro has no rights that a white man is bound to respect." Railroad accommodations, notwithstanding the law stipulates that they must be separate but EQUAL, are indescribably rotten, bad and disgraceful; yet colored passengers are compelled to pay their fees, who enjoy first-class accommodations, or travel some other way. All the Southern commonwealths levy taxes upon colored citizens for the support and maintenance of their several state, county and municipal governments, but they deny these same tax rights to the black people in the state governments; often hurting defiance in the face of federal government by this policy of disfranchisement and nullification of the national statutes on this particular score. We could enumerate injustices and abortions of justice ad infinitum. The fact that North Carolina is putting over such a big program is one happy and encouraging sign and far be it from the Informer to try to discredit or belittle it; but what are the other 12 states of the South doing for the colored constituents? This is the paramount and all-important question. The Informer is putting over state upon its constructive program, not uniminded of the fact, however, that while North Carolina is in the South, it is not the South! The South has sought to make a problem out of plain and holden duty, and, if this section would spend more time doing its work, it would be less in trying to solve the problem," greater headway would be brought about and maintaining more amicable and friendly relations between the two races. The South keeps the record straight, for North Carolina is a pluribus unum (one out of many); yet while the light holds out to burn, her sisters in this path may turn! More anon! VOTERS ABOLISHED JITNEYS SATURDAY "Yes, we have no jitneys!" All Houstonians can sing and whistle this parody after April 1, 2014 for the "jitts" went away Saturday. Aside from the decisive licensing the white jitneys in last Saturday's election, when the voters went to the polls and booted to abolish these transportation "diverses" and "cook-outs" for the jitts, the voters of the city played in the election is not only an encouraging sign, but also a redeeming one. The Informer urged, coaxed and reasoned with our people to go to the polls and vote, whether for or against the ordinance abolishing jitneys, and the colored vote was about the largest ever regulation of jitneys in recent years, excepting the black and tan campaign of 1920. Perhaps a handful of discontented and disappointed colored seekers after spoils and mawzu, who found out to their sorrow that there was no pork barrel, either voted for the retention of the jitneys or remained away from the polls; but the vast majority of the ordinance abolishing these white jitneys, which automatically cease business midnight March 31, 1924. In the five city precincts where colored people vote in large numbers (and where they voted rather briskly Saturday) the jitneys were defeated at the ratio of 3 to 1, 877 voting for the ordinance abolishing these white jitneys, and 234 for the ordinance abolishing these white jitneys, which automatically cease business midnight March 31, 1924. In the jitney election of 1923, these five precincts (Nos. 14, 18, 19, 27 and 28) gave the jitneys a majority of 80, 489 voting for the retention of the jitneys and 418 for their abolishment. Not only did the jitneymen lose 214 votes in these precincts in the election of 1923, but the jitneys' abolition last Saturday than voted on June 9, 1923. This difference in the majority given the ordinance for abolishing the white jitneys was due largely to the interest the colored voters took in the recent election; for few, if any, of our people were interested in the jitneys, the rumor was going the rounds that the San Felipe line would be reestablished in the event the white jitneys were retained. But this political palver did not have its usual charms in the recent election, for quite a number of former owners and operators of the Felipe colored jitney line were some of the most evident supporters of abolishing the jitneys, and they voted for the white jitneys' going. Roughly estimated, perhaps more than a thousand colored voters cast a ballot against the jitneys in last Saturday's election, which indicates that our people are waking up in such issues and are not indifferent and unconcerned in elections, but the interest our people manifested in the recent jitney election and the manner in which they went to the polls and voted, augur a new day for us in community, if we will only keep up the practice in subsequent elections. Now, with the jitneys' interment just a few, weeks off, The Informer suggests to the officials of the local traction company that they do all in their power to better the service and see that all passengers in the same consideration on their lines and that extension projects and benefit others of the outlying colored residential districts. The Informer feels gratified with the results of last Saturday's election, and the colored voters showed their faith and confidence in their paper by helping to roll up an overwhelming majority of white voters. "Truly, 'we met the enemy and they are ours." In the meantime, let's all pay our 1924 poll tax and get ready for the political battles of the year. Selah!

HOUSTON PUBLISHER TENDERED SANHEDRIN COMMITEE POSITION That The Houston informer has taken more than local and sections of the city, and the following communications recently sent the editor of this publication. Excerpts from the letters follow: "Washington, D. C., Jan. 16, 1924. Dear Sir: I am to request the use of your name as a member of the enlarged committee of the All-Race Conference, the committee of the week of February 11, 1924.

Your very truly. ROBOSC C. SUMMERS ROBOSC C. SUMMERS The Informer takes this occasion to again remind the college citizens of Houston, Harris County and Texas that they will must exercise certain duties unless they pay their poll tax or secure an excuse certificate to vote. The college citizens no person can vote in any of the elections of the present year without a poll tax receipt or exemption certificate, and, in order to qualify as voters, it is imperative that this be done at once. The college citizens must also qualify as voters, not only for the political issues of the year, but also because the greater portion of this tax is employed for educational purposes. But the state has made it obligatory and mandatory upon every voter to vote, to either pay the poll tax or receive a exemption certificate before February 1 of the year in which they hope to exercise their elective franchise right. This year promises to be a memorable and perhaps humble one in the political realm, and every public-spirited citizen should be aware of the opportunity to get familiarized for the impending ballot battles. This is presidential election year and every public official, former president down to precinct constable, will be elected this year. The college citizens will be the fourth in coming elections will take, and he or she may not have non-exemption certificate will be both voteless and unlicensed. Special arrangements have been made by Mr. James R. Griggs, president of the American Mutual, to issue poll tax receipts and to collect votes at the office of this company at 714% Prairie Avenue. Here your proper title will be given you and there is no possibility of any "jim-crow" line for our women. You will be required to give your pursuance with a long article on the necessity of qualifying, but suffice it to say that you will not be a citizen unless you pay your pallack or accuse your exemption certificate before the expiration of this month. Thursday, January 31, 1924, is your last chance. Do it now! SOUTH'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER MRS. BARLOW CHOSEN W. Y. C. A.
