LEE BARES PERRY'S DEAL PRICE: 5 CENTS LOCAL PYTHIANS ME65. The annual thanksgiving services of the colored Knights of Pythias were conducted at the Pythian hall in the city of Pythias, where the great mass of it was, by far, the highest mess of its kind ever pulled off in Houston—at least in recent years. In the first place, the place was entirely too small and inadequate to be held. The great Pythian Hall, on the other hand, was turned out in Calanthian, who always turn out in masse on such occasions. But if was the effort on the part of two to three "big guns" to finish, and to make the affair a sickening mess and caused a large part of the congregation to get up and leave it disgust. According to the program, William W. J. Smith, G. C. C., saw to it that the "colonel" did very little "mastering," and throughout the attempted rendition of the program it was a conscientious man. The process of the "colonel" had the local pastor to sit down and be again introduced and presented him. Even when Smith had introduced and presented Rev. J. B. Burdett, passed the program, he was not required to preach the annual sermon, the "colonel" had the local pastor to sit down and be again introduced and presented him. The process was numbers on the program were creditably rendered and the Dokies looked good in their new regalls and paraphernalia, but the keenness of the program was not for the spotlight was a disgraceful and disgusting episode and reflected discreditably not only upon these two men, but the whole local order. The process was not well willing to learn and practice the lesson of teamwork and respect for leadership; but we are always trying and striving to outshine and outdo each other, and we are not going to be so. Or the pluscatic replons. The cause be hanged, if we can not see the replons, and the replons are replons, and Sunday's Ptyrhan fiasco was a typical illustration of the irth of this assertion and extentions. We have not yet found a good account. It would have put its best foot forward. Its chosen leaders bring disgrace and reproach upon the order, and both they and the order become the laughing stack of the town, and disgrace to the The local Python labs, we hope, will be able to provide a day's meal and it is unsurpassed that they exercise extreme care here.

We made a hurried business trip to Austin Monday night, being the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. James T. Ewing, the head of the Department of Riddle of Denison, who is endowment secretary of the Texas Odd Fellows and Ruthites. Mr. Ewing is grand secretary of the Old Fellows, and his family have now been a part-in their friends. After transecting our business, J. T. had his son to drive us around the city of Austin, and we were in the same营地. The city of the Capital Friends, L. D. Lyons, merchant prince of the Capital City and its leading race business man, and Rev. M. M. Haynes, erudite editor of the People's Market, was the chief of the business. By the way, while waiting to catch our train back to Houston, Governor Pat Neff hurried by to catch a train or taxi. Any man that goes to Austin and gets into the hands of this trumvirate, Ewing to Lyons to Haynes, will never regret his trip to the city noted for its towering lights, multiplicity of hills, and the greatness of the city. Mr. Ewing is connected with the American Exchange National bank and has a real position, not a "job." We had to look around several times to the victim of a dream. No resident in this state can go to Austin and flew the state capitol without taking pride in the fact that he is a very progressive, owning and purchasing of the State. The colored citizens of Austin are very progressive, owning and purchasing of the State. The feeling between the two races is fine in the Capital City and the thought that seems uppermost in the state. The race is advance the cause of their common city. Besties a public school and five word schools for colored children. Austin is also the home of Samuel Houston, the first of the first two states to have a higher education of colored youth. It has several colored churches, but, with its most popular, it is not as top-heavy with houses of worship as our city; the most popular is the one in the two foe churches or Houston has too many. These four own conclusions. It possesses several colored business enterprises and many professional businesses. All seems to be a common, credit-shares THE HOUSTON INFORMER LOCAL PLAYERS PRESENT DRAMA AT AUDITORIUM The Pierian Dramatic Club, with R. B. H. Yates as directing head and George H. Webster as stage director, staged a thrilling comedy drama, "The Splash," at the City Auditorium last Thursday night. This club has made quite an available reputation in presenting their plays and the recent drama came up in previous performances. The new plays were noted in the cast of characters, but they played well their part, and if applause was a barometer, then the drama went over big. In the fun-provoking role John Hopkins as Charlie Denton and Miss Vivian E. Malcolm, as Marjile Renneler, were the outstanding hits of the evening; while Mrs. R. B. H. Yates as Evelyn Foster, and Mrs. Leager V. Reed as Nonnie Calloway acted well in the parts of the same day. Miss Annie Lou Allen as Barbara Allison and J. A. Evalyne as Jimmy Westcott, who had the leading parts, were especially good; the former acting as brilliant, if not more so, than on any previous appearance. Albert Jones, as Joseph Westcott, shone brilliantly, and Joseph L. Tease as Horace Townsend was no novice in his career. He was a man who had a vaguely brought down the house with a vocal selection between second and third acts, with Miss Ida Mae Conway as a替补. By special request, this drama will be repeated at Bethel Baptist Church, Andrews and Creeby streets, Thursday night, April 17, and those who saw it last week or who failed to see it, will do well to witness it upon its next appearance. ANOTHER UNDERTAKING FIRM STARTED HERE Houston has another undertaking establishment, which threw wide its footprint in the city this month. The new firm is known as Daniels & Phillips and their funeral establishment, which has been connected with other local undertaking establishments. "Clever" Daniels was with Elvie Jackson for several years and was also involved with B. Lewis. Daniels, a funeral and memorial director and have opened up a first-class place in the city to support a cottage in a situation to inspect their funeral home. They can also preside at a funeral service: Preston 138-897-9115. TRINITY'S BRILLIANT BANQUET. The nater board of Triggs M. E. Church, R. E. G.

LIFE DEAL EXPLAINED BY HIGH OFFICIAL "Perry's Explanation As to Why He Said Mississippi Life Insurance Company Will Not Stand Light of Scrutiny," Says Vice President Lee—Charges Facts Distorted and Figures Jugged — Race Concerns "Frozen Out" (Preston News Service.) Memphis, Tenn.—"In all my statements to the newspapers," declared George W. Lee, vice president of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company, in a statement, "I have intentionally avoided mentioning Mr. Perry or the Standard Life Insurance Company, because I pictured the harm that might be done to an institution that represents humankind and centralized wealth for people. I have been censured in an editorial by the Afro-American for not bringing Mr. Perry in for his share of compensation, instead of hurling bitter critics of the Southern Life. Attempt to Hurt Negro Business "I believed that the destruction of the Mississippi Life was an effort to pull down the trade-mark of Negro efficiency and render impotent the opposition of Negro companies. I believed Mr. Perry when he told me that he had been double-crossed by a group of white men who were bent upon waxing fat at the cost of thousands of policy-holders and stockholders, and when he interposed to thwart their sinister plans the deputy insurance commissioner of Mississippi threatened to withdraw $50,000 of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company from his bank, and thereby render the life of the bank uncertain. I believed him when he said that they pressed him to the wall and made him sign a contract of reinsurance with the Southern. I believed him further when he said that the insurance commissioner of Georgia had charged off $150,000 of good assets of the Standard Life. And because I believed him, I regarded him more in sorrow than in anger. Now, when he comes out in a statement to the press, and attempts to set up justifiable grounds for his part in the drama, by casting unjust aspersions upon the officers of the Mississippi Life by twisting facts to suit his own convenience, it is incumbent upon me as an official (vice president) of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company to break the silence and give the general public something of the other side." Analyzes Perry's Statement. "Let us analyze the statement Mr. Perry made to the press. He says in paragraph one: That the representation had been made to him that the Misalsippl Life had $22,000,000 worth of insurance in force; about $850,000 of assets. So confident that this was true, these figures having been given to them by one of the officials actively connected with the company, that in printing the calendars they added the total amount of insurance of the Standard and Misalsippl Life." The truth of the matter is, Mr. Perry was not interested in the Mississipp Life until John A. Copeland and J. R. Cochran, actuaries of the Standard Life, and representatives of Mr. Perry, had been called to Memphis by the officers of the Mississipp Life to examine the company, audit our accounts, and make a financial statement for 1925. It was on their representation and assurance that Mr. Perry commenced, during the sum of 1923, to try in some way to get possession of the controlling stock of the Mississipp Life. Mr. Perry knew more about the actual conditions of the company than the officials themselves, and in buying it was not dealing at arm's length. The statement that Mr. Perry's actuaries made for 1922 showed that the company had deposited in banks $150,592.12, total admitted assets $469.

P. Press Service.) The New York Evening Post of March 22 published a biography of the noted colored musician and singer Harry T. Burleigh, who has just completed thirty years' service as barton soloist at the fashionable St. George's church at the fashionable St. George's Church in Stuyvesant Square. The biography recounts that Burrell, a graduate of Scotch and Indian ancestry. Left fisheries, the boy earned his own living by selling music of the music, where he was awarded a degree in music. He was a award-winning Burleigh man much of the noted composer Dvorak, whose manuscripts he to copy, and forage for him plantation owners.

NEGRO PULLMAN EMPLOYEES WIN IN CONFERENCE --- PRICE: 5 CENTS NO. 46 DEAL MADDEN FORCES NOT ALARMED AT TAYLOR'S ENTRY (By the Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Ill.—Martin H. Madden, for more than 18 years the president in congress of the First congressional district of Illinois, second most powerful district in the country, whose office is now sought by a Nathan, Nathan B. Taylor, running on a "black for black" platform, is expected to campaign in the district prior to the primaries, it is learned from his friends. The heavy responsibility of his position as chairman of the appropriation committee holds him in Winston-Salem. His battle will be fought entirely through the local organization. Advisors of Mr. Madden who have discussed the Taylor effort have found the white-haired veteran of Congress undisturbed. He has expressed himself as surprised that his opponents, in their efforts to unseat him, should have resorted to a muddling campaign. He declines to mix in this, or take a personal use of his own deavors in behalf of colored people, in his efforts to be re-elected. A list of his speeches in Congress includes a large number of the most important speeches in the Negro. Mr. Madden says that these have not been made, nor will he claim that they have, because his district is largely colorless—that—some out of the state to do whatever he can to help humanity. He professes to having tried to be more of a human legislator than either white or black. His confidence in the people who have supported him is unchanged. He has an abiding faith in the people who have supported him, and activities within the district have not sourced him. He looks to those who know his record best to do their best for him. Although they have not been yelling out loud, it can not be said that Mr. Madden's supporters in the district have by any means been quiet. The organization, the very name of which is cause for confidence, is led by Edward H. Wright. Wright is a courageous and smart leader. He has not been asleep, the public knows, and is awaiting a coup of some sort at any minute. It is known that Mr. Wright has lived up to the political organization behind Madden. He now predicts that Madden will win by a mile. He declares that the organization which Madden helped to build is functioning as never before and that the ravings of Taylor's irregular will be empty air on election day.

THE BOOK—The Story of a Foolish King. JUNIOR TOPIC - Reboobam's Folly, INTERMEDIATE AND BENIOR TOPIC YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT LEAP-ICY - Why the Kingdom WAS Divided. The kingdom so gloriously administered in David's time reached its height when the kingdom was led satyr through the influence of his heathen wives, and the kingdom had begun to wane. God had expressed his indignation toward him in the demand that the kingdom was to be rent from him, yet in his time, but in the time of Rebelooan (I Kings 11.19.3). The Demand of the People (vv. 1-4). This was occasioned by the burden to excessive taxation and enforced lawiness. In order to build costly houses and temples for his heathen wives. Owing to the multiplicity of his wives, this burden was so heavy that loyalty to him on the condition of lightened burdens. I. Rebelooan. The Foolish Decision (vv. 1). 1. Rebelooan Consuls With the Old Men (vv. 5.7). These were men of experience who had been Solomon's advisers. They advised that the peo- 2. Rehobom Consulted the Young Men (vv. 8-11). These young men had grown up with him, possibly were his half-brothers, sons of Solomon's many wives. Being thus brought up in the luxury of the harem, they were ignorant of the legal right of the people. Therefore, they advised even that the burdens be increased. 3. Rehobom Followed the Advice of the Young Men (vv. 12-15). At the appointed time he announced his purpose to the people. He even answered them roughly, asserting his purpose to increase their burdens and sorrows. 11. The Revolt of the Ten Tribes (vv. 16-24). Upon Rehobom's announcement of his rash purpose, I all Israel cried out, "What portion have we in David?... to your tents, O Israel." 1. Rehobom's Attempt to Collect Tribute (vv. 16-24). Adoram, his tribute gatherer, was stoned to death. So violent was the opposition on the part of the people that Rehobom had to flee to Jerusalem to save his life. 2. Jerobom Made King Over Israel (v. 20). They seemed to have lost no time in selecting a head so as to be strong in their opposition to Rehobom. R. Rebeoham's Attempt to Compel the Ten Tribes to Return to David (1180 BC) and to kill his army of 180,000 men. Through the prophecy of Shemiah, which fortified Jerusalem, Rebeoham was们 persevered to return. (V. Jeremiah) Rebeoham to Unify the Ten Tribes. 1. He Established Calf Worship (vv. 25-30). His pretext for this worship was his fear less the religious unity His fear was that the people would go back to Jerusalem to worship and therefore would gradually be led to worship His fear was that his own life would be taken. He was too shrewd a politician to away with religion. He knew that his man's life. The prevailing religion of the world today is a political one. It is used as a sort of consent to hold a religious ceremony. His Scheme of Worship (vv. 31-38). (1) He built houses and high places to break down the idolatrous centers. (2) He command of God. God had directed His people to destroy the high places, to break down the idolatrous centers. (3) He command of the people (v. 31). God had set aside the tribe of Levi to fill the office of priesthood. In this again he disbanded the tribe of Levi to fill the office of priesthood. (3) He changed the day of the Feast of the Tabernacle (v. 32). The time of this feast was set by the Lord that the change in the time would be better suited to their northern climate, but God who made the climate or climate that the business, therefore, to oed God. (4) Jerobem himself intrudes into the pristine's office. This act of presumption on his part was the clinic where he and his staff all grew out of his wicked heart.

At the first sign of a raw, severe throat rub on a little Musterole with your finger. It goes right to the spot with a gentle tingle, hooves congestion, drawn out, exuding pus. Musterole is a clean, white ointment containing a solution. It has all the strengths of the old-fashioned plaster without the blister. Nothing the Musterole for croppie children can benefit from unseasonal uss. 35 and 60 cents in jars and tubes; hospital bills are higher than a MUSTARD PLASTER. MUSTEROLE New Franklin Deposits. An important deposit has recently been made in New Zealand in the ford country of Southland. A deposit of Musterole which is the same size that is used in large quantities in New Jersey, has been identified by government officials. Origin of Honeydew Melon. The original seed of the honeydew melon is obtained from a melon shipped from Africa to New York city. The seed was planted at Rocky Ford, Chelsea, and New York, respectively for two or three seasons. The so-called honeydew melon is the result. As yet this melon has not been brought into a stable condition of reproduction. Dead Sea Fruit. The spore of gudgeon in the familiar name of a species of yellow fruit which grows on the borders of the Dead Sea. It is extremely beautiful to the eye but bitter to the taste and full of small black grains, not unlike ashes. This apple is often referred to as the "Dead Sea fruit," and the exposition used as a metaphor for below, unsatisfactory pleasures. Olive Growing. The region in which the olive may be successfully grown for commercial production of fruit in the United States is so acidic and frost-hardy. Commercial olive growing has been confined to portions of California and Arizona, although the heavens was seen by an English boy of sixteen living in Athens.

HOUSTON THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1924 LEEBARES (Continued from Page One.) $65.88, a surplus of $12,88.61. It is evidence that the president of the Institute areife was attracted by this large number of students. It seems that Mr. Perry's numerous inattentions were surely in need of attention, as was an opportunity to realize a long-term goal. Thus, in the summer of 2023, he launched a plan to get possession of the business. Immediately he set out for Washington, in company with one-time officials of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company. The service fees of Perry Howard for the service of going down to Bessemerer, Ala., to persuade his brother, W. C. Howard, who was at that time president of the Mississippi Life, and Mrs. M. C. Fox, who was at the time of the sale of a contract with the company, to enter into the service of their stock. The contract was up and signed October 19, 1923. Mr. Perry paid $5,000 in cash; the balance to follow in three installments. Mr. Perry then rushed to Memphis and at the time of the office of the Mississippi Life company. The deposit of the company's money in his life was to use the company's own money to buy the company and turned him down cold. Mr. Perry then secured the contract with an effort to borrow money, but the firm had to pay the costs. At this time the deal began to lag, who held the controlling stock made known to him that they were willing, and anxious to return to him the $5,000 and rescind the contract. Several other colored interests literally begged the business. The company and refund him all the costs and spent trying to get control. An official of the Mississippi Life called Mr. Perry over long distance phone to find out if he would be able to get the money to go through with the deal. Mr. Perry was a free officer that he would pay no more; that the business would be impaired and the business would be reinsured with the Standard Life. "A as matter of fact, the actuaries again visited the Mississippi Life office to show in a statement that the company was impaired $50,000. We then saw that the company had to get possession of the company without paying the Howard-Cox interest, the balance of some $50,000, and of information leaking out, and the officers of the Mississippi Life going to Hon. T. M. Mississippi, pointed out to him what was about to be done, together with the Mississippi, pointed out to him King, the coup would have succeeded. "Mr. Perry can not deny that he knew the details of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company long before the deal was consummated, and upon these details alone was his decision made. He had access to all the books of the company from October 16, 1922, to the company from October 16, 1923, to the company from the company, further, that this is not the first time he has sold business out from under a colored company to a white concern. Let him remember the business that he sold from the Atlanta Life to the Interstate, a white concern. Mr. Perry says, further, that because of the conditions, especially in the impairments of the company, such something over $50,000, has decided that it would be best to sell the industrial business. Mr. Perry is now butting his head against a wall of figures created by his own actuaries. I charge Mr. Perry to bring forth his insurance knowledge and actuarial assistance and prove his statement of $50,000 impairment in the Linslesippl Life. Let him deny that this is the own actuarial estimate of the connection with the deputy insurance commissioner of Mississippi, made on December 31, 1923, an audit of the Mississippi Life books and issued a financial statement for 1923, showing that the company has assets of over $570,000; that this same company had deposited in banks $171,325.45 and a surplus of $4,446.45. By that date, the information is presented to the company up as impairment in a company representing such enormous worth." "Mr. Perry excesses himself further by bringing the largest bldd received from the Southern insurance Company. As a matter of fact, the bldd is more than 600 less than the Southern Insurance Company. As a matter of fact, itmitted that the North Carolina's bldd was more than the Southern and explained that the reason the North Carolina wanted to send an actuary to the home office of the Mississippi Life and audiology not asking more than Mr. Perry had done when he bought the company. The North Carolina's bldd was $4,000 more than the Southern's bldd and the North Carolina officials were so sure they had qualified vigorous plans to take over the company that they returned home and commenced vigorous plans to take over the company that bought. Says Nothing of National Benefit. Mr. Perry and nothing of the National Benefit, a colored company whose financial statement shows them that they returned home and commenced vigorous plans to take over the company that bought. Even the Atlanta Life, his next door neighbor, declares any knowledge of the deal. After the company their attempt to buy the company from the Southern at a figure much larger than the Southern at a figure much larger than the company he claims that he acted for the best interest of the stockholder, when the company for forty to eighty thousand on the deal. Offered to Sell to Church. "When Mr. Perry found that he had to sell the company, he offered it to the church. He sold it for $890,000 more than he sold it to the Southern." All of Mr. Church's efforts were of no avail. In his statement to the church, Perry accused the church of gold-filled form with six hundred people and was in danger of losing his head wanted to add more money to his bank. of directors thought it not best to operate industrial business along with the Standard Life. It can not be denied that the stockholders stand a chance to realize two for one on their investment. But what about the forty two young women, representing the flower of womanghood and efficiency, whose positions will be lost? What about the field force of six hundred men, whose dreams have been shattered, whose firesides have been visited by sorrow? What about the fifteen years of toll and privation that were given without restraint for the building of an institution that would be an eloquent testimony to the efficiency of the Negro as a builder? What about the 168,000 policy holders who brought forth their blood and sweat money that had been acquired from the wash-tubs from the farms, and from the forge and poured it into the treasury of the company for the purpose of building a place for their young? “Will the profit made on this sale sanctify such a deal? Will this strengthen the confidence of our poor people in race institutions? I say, no. There are distinctive qualities and traits that must be created and preserved in order to build a race. Transactions bulded upon money at the cost of sacrificing those distinctive ideas are bad.” Good Wishes to Standard Life, Mr. Perry says, first in his own way, that he is happy to be as yet, by the Service company out of Mississippi. The truth of the matter is that Mr. Perry has deposited $600 of Mississippi Life and all the efforts of the company to withdraw that money have failed. The hundred-and-a-fine filmy excuses. Now hundred-and-a-fine filmy excuses. Now on $5,000 over a period of almost six months, he is, indeed, a poor business NOTICE TO STANDARD Mason Smith of Smithville, Texas has been discontinued as an agent of the company.

As a lucky these $19.75 YOU RIGHT: in's MARKET BIST BINNESS ay ls Some Food For Thought WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST, the largest publisher of newspapers in this country, says: "The newspaper is one of the most valuable articles in a community, and still, in spite of its actual and obvious value, it sells both its circulation and its advertising space at a ridiculously low rate in comparison with its values." This is precisely the truth when it comes to advertising in The Houston Informer The Houston Informer goes into more colored homes than all other local colored newspapers combined and enjoys the second largest circulation in Texas among colored journals. The Houston Informer also reaches more colored people than any daily newspaper in the city. Its circulation is LARGE and is still jumping by leaps and bounds, proving that it is THE PEOPLE'S PAPER Its advertising rates are LOW in comparison with its values to the advertisers. There are fully 40,000 colored citizens in Houston and this volume of business is surely worth going after. Mr. Merchant, if you desire and appreciate the patronage of this large number of citizens, advertise in THE HOUSTON INFORMER PAGE SIK upon good ground" The Sower, in the parable, cast his seed to the winds of heaven. That which landed among the stones, the thorns and in the barren places, perished. Only the seeds which reached the good ground had a chance to grow. The modern advertiser does not strew his seed of salesmanship to the winds. He plants it carefully in the "good ground"—in the places where because of favorable conditions it has a chance to bear a harvest of consumer results. He uses newspaper advertising because through the newspapers he covers completely the rest which is known, upon careful investigation, to be right places for his product to flourish. Advertising in The Informer Sells the On to him. Boroughs--good morning, Brown. Good bread--good bread. Brown--not for bracing me! I can't lead you a coat--"Boston Treasurer." THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1924 Casing-Head Gas. Casting-head gas has been made since 1904. An oil which has the facet of a gallon-shaped drum from natural gas is sprayed downstream from a tall pipe or tower, while the natural gas coming out at the top is practical for drilling. The gas is then absorbed by the bottom has absorbed it. Then, by a simple process of distillation, the gasoline is derived from the oil, and the distillate is used in the plant again. A good-sized plant can treat 80,000,000 cubic feet of gas this year, and obtain at least 8,000 gallons of gasoline a day. **Several Species of Rattlesnakes.** The most common and well known rattlesnakes are abundant in the East, Midwest, and Southwest, Hampshire, and Lake Superior, to the borders of the dry plains. The diamond rattlesnake is found mainly in the North Carolina to Texas, and a range varies westward to Lower North Carolina to Texas, and a range in the Rocky mountains region and northern Mexico. The ground rattlesnake is also found in southern states, and a range common in the Allegheny mountains. Pine Tree Pollen. Yellow rain in the Yukon territory and red snow in Greenland with a red snow in the Arctic also found to be caused by the pollen of pine trees growing miles distant. The pollen is caught by the wind. The snow is in "made" by wind-bleed deposits of minute vegetable organics or of snowed which contain red spots. The Jewish Star.

Because many things you can advertise are the things you buy and use in your regular daily life. By reading the advertisements, you can learn the names and read descriptions of the things that are best and most useful. But advertising teachers more than that. All advertisers try to make their advertisements themselves valuable to you. A good many people have learned a whole lot about good advertising. They know the best ways to live comfortably, how to keep the home and grounds looking well—they've learned all these things and many other things just by reading advertisements.

Carl Mays Makes Life National League umpire are bound to experience a challenge the coming season now that Carl Mays will pitch for the Chicago Cubs. He always has been a tough fellow for the arbiets to handle. To begin his career, he played the umpire plenty of golf. He throws underhand, all of his shoots starting from the back of the net around the batter's face. Carl Mays matches between a fast ball that breaks it a spitter and a curve that rises too high. Mays has a bad temper, too, and in his attempts to get all of the close defense it makes life miserable for the umpire. Walter Hagen Aims to Play in "British Open" for the British open golf championship.

Louisville has added another Cuban to its roster, signing Vincent Tarracho, a first baseman. Dallas has signed Bill Mackt, third baseman of the Southwestern university of Georgetown. Tex.

MARY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL AFTERWARDS. NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LEBS. — ROOSEVELT. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1924 SELECTING FOUR SCHOOL TRUSTEES Several candidates for members of the Board of Education of the Houston Independent School District have entered the field or been selected by organizations to fill the four vacancies on the board, and the election will be held Saturday, April 5, 1924. Every qualified voter can cast a ballot in this school trustee election and the Informer urges our people to manifest more than passing interest in this election. While it is true that our people had no voice in the nominations of the various candidates, they have as much voice in their election as any other group in our cosmopolitan population. There are several able, worthy and good candidates in the race, and the Informer is trying to particularly pick a ticket, thinks that our people can not go wrong by supporting and vot* for the following candidates: PALMER HUTCHESON, MRS. MAURICE GOLDMAN, A. C. FINN and DR. H. K. READ. Mr. Hutcheson comes from one of Houston's best, oldest and most highly respected families, being a son of Captain J. C. Hutcheson, Sr., and brother of Federal Judge J. C. Hutcheson. He is particularly important to enter that race and reluctantly contended for the position he will do credit to our local board of education and the school of this district; for his literary and legal training and experience will place him in good stead for rendering invaluable services to the community and society in this respect. Mrs. Goldman, only retiring member of the present board to offer her candidacy for re-election, needs no introduction to the voters of Houston; for her past distinguished and unselfish services as a member of the board of education warrant and justify her re-election and retention in office. Mr. Finn, recognized as one of the city's leading architects, strikes The Informer as a mighty good man for membership on the board; for an extensive building program must soon be put under way and he can be of vast assistance in this respect, not omitting nor discounting his worth to the board and system along other lines. Dr. Read, child specialist, is The Informer's fourth choice, because this paper is of the opinion that one physician should be a member of the board, and his peculiar training and specialty eminently qualify him for performing a great civic and humanitarian service on the local school board. Another element that should be considered aside from fitness, competency and ability, is the matter of age. The four candidates that The Informer withholds support have not been reached that stage in their earthly career where they are considered old, yet they are ripe with experience and rich in ability. The Informer, therefore, commends these four candidates to the colored voters of the Houston Independent School District and urges every qualified colored voter to go to his or her regular polling place Saturday, April 5, and cast a ballot for these four candidates. How to vote: Simply draw a black line through the names of the candidates on the ballot who are not your choice, and leave untouched and unmarked the names of the candidates you favor for the office. There are nine candidates in the race and only four of them can be elected; no scratch the five that you do not want. This election is open to every qualified voter, male and female, colored and white, and The Informer urges our people to go to the polls tomorrow and vote for the best interests of the schools and community. The Houston Informer South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper Ten Greatest Negroes America Has Produced Published by American Federation of Negro Students (Preston News Service) SYNOPSIS Two luminaries have been named: George Washington Carver, F.R.S., eminent scientist, creator of over a third of a thousand by-products from the pean, the sweet potato, the peanut, and dye from common clay of the southern soil. Frederick Douglas, orator, abolitionist, pioneer trail blazer. In deciding such an elusive thing an greatness, several pertinent questions must be settled. For example: should greatness be based upon popularity? How many great acts must one perform before he is entitled to greatness? Popularity is a favorable asset, but not an essential. The Savior, the matchless "Great One," was not a popular being in his day. Say the prophet, "He was despised and rejected of men." Such is it with many of our great characters. One's being widely known is not necessarily claimed as great. Thousands of people know Jack Johnson and Mamie Smith, who will die ignorant of the fact that the scientist, Dr. Carver, ever lived. Similarly greatness cannot be determined by single acts, though striking. Should our "Greatest" be determined by a few or by the separate opinions of millions? It would be a stark prejudice to say that the masses would make a gross error were it possible to obtain their just choice. A ballot taken from a hundred thousand persons, would doubtless, offer a cross-section of choices, considerably confused and, perhaps, unjust to truth. However, in order to balance opinion among the different schools of thought and from both sexes, it was interesting to note that males regarded men almost exclusively as forming the ten greatest. With women a larger per cent of their sex were included among the mythical ten. The choice of America's ten greatest Negro made by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell might be the New York school of thought, this being the ar, thinker, and orator, whose choice and reasons are listed below, says: "Here is a list of ten colored people worthy of mention. Whether they are the ten greatest will depend upon each one's point of view. 1. Crispin Attuck—Patriot 2. Phyllis Wheatley—First African woman to prove the intellectual heights to which it is possible for her sex and her race to attain. 3. Frederick Doughask—The first man of African descent to show he could measure arms successfully with members of other races, despite the handicaps. As an author, orator and publicist, he had few equals and no superiors. 4. B. K. Bruce—As United States senator and registrar of the U.S. House, he made a remarkable man, in which he performed his ditties, reflected credit upon his race. 5. Mme. C. J. Walker—Successful business woman. Established a large and lucrative enterprise, employing hundreds of her own race. 6. George Carver—F. R. S.—This scientist has attracted the attention of the world by the brilliancy and success of his experiments and achievements. 7. Roland Hayes—Has so successfully committed race prejudice by his wonderful voice that he is now engaged by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He is regarded here as one of the most outstanding musicians. 8. Lucy Lany—Strugging against tremendous odds she secured an education, then with the small savings from her teaching position established a school in a farm house in Augusta, Ga. Later the institution was named Haines Normal and Industrial School in honor of a friend who came to hear her. 9. P. B. S. Pinchback—Governor of Louisiana for several days, he being the only Negro who has been governor of a state in this country. How much that amounts to is a matter of taste. 10. Robert Heberton Terrell—Judge of municipal court in District of Columbia, who was the 22nd appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt and has been re-appointed by every president since that time. He was reappointed twice under a democratic administration, because of the fact citizens and members of the bar association have been奔赴. He is the only colored judge in the United States." Merr. Terrell was among the first to nominate the late Madam C. J. Walker, who has been selected as one of the ten. Madam Walker is the greatest single exponent of business achievement in the world. She has been a great help to support she battled her way to fortune and broad service. After her discovery of a treatment for the hair, she traveled back and forth between Pittsburgh and Denver, finally settling in Indianapolis, where her great work was consummated. She grew with her husband, who was a commercial executive and a former business woman. "She was a character who lunged at obstacles, though often discouraged, she persevered, apparently baffled time and time again, by sheer will power she forced her ambition back into the fight and lived to hold her own among the best women on the race." Her face, feature by feature, bespoke a personality as fit a theme for pen or brush as either an author or artist would care to immortalize. Her claim to greatness is her singular achievement, giving independent employment to thousands, opening the eyes of tens of thousands of people to her beauty and grace. The fourth person added to this list of notablees is James Weldon Johnson, editor, author and diplomat. Only distinguished Americans are listed in "Who's Who in America." In this volume under the name of James Weldon Johnson are items testify to her greatness, including a ceyphal mind and is easily the most versatile character the race has devised. He has served with distinction as author, poet, lawyer, editor, translator, plowright, diplomat and an secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. Indeed, Douglass, Carver, Walker and Johnson are four great persons who have produced in America. SYNOPSIS VOICE OF PRESS Walter Cohen is the federal collector of the port of New Orleans. He is in charge of education, a man of wealth and ability, to have certain qualifications of leadership, four or five of the LaFalle following, and he had no fault with him. He had no fault with him, except his color. He was black and not white, and it should be a white man's government, according to those high-minded fought confirmation to the last chitch. President Harven G. Hammerting more than two years before he died. It was rejected two or three times. He and his leaders chose to him advised the president to let Cohen slide and name him the plural states and the handler of a showdown came and Cohen was confirmed by a scanty auditor. This is a presidential election year. The president and the plural states and the handler of a showdown came and Cohen was confirmed by a scanty auditor. This is a *Patrick's Day observance*. The collector of the Port of New Orleans got that name. And why not Alain Martin. And why not Theatres An American. The above editorial from the Amesian respects. It is admitted that Walter L. Cohen, who was confirmed in the U.S. Senate in 1982, la, has been able to characterize and, in fact, is qualified in every reverence to fill the position to which he has been appointed. Mr. Cohen is not a lawyer, but he is responsible for his character. Character is the quality that makes a person a good citizen. If the people of this country will give character to character and best to color, we will have never Tempted us to gage the attention of the world. People who have nothing but color in their character will fill to fill high positions, are like the men who built his home on a unified foundation. Talk about this being a white man's country. Praise tell us whose country face Graceman shat, shell and gas? Who paid the supreme price for face Graceman shat, shell and gas? Who first blood for America indifference? Crispus Attacks on the phones of Bose. In fact, the black man has been found on the side of right in every battle. The black man has been John Christ, the Sim of the Ivory God, was making his way to the man of God, was making his way to the person of Sims the Cymran under the crown with Him. In every battle the black man has played his part. We wonder by what process of rebellion he has gone through, character, except that of prejudice and race hatred. No people, can permit anyone to hate their hearts against any other people because of things they are not responsible for. We will come when all men will decide to do unto others as they would have others do unto them.
