COLORED TEXANS: "PAY YOUR POLL TAX NOW AND HELP ENLARGE THE PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL FUND OF THE LONE STAR STATE." Race Woman Member West Virginia Legislature NOTED SHRINERS' CASE ARGUED FINAL EDITION VOLUME IX Race W NOTI The Mirror By C. F. RICHARDSON Far be it from the conductor of this column to brag, but while sitting in our editorial sanctum, with all windows raised, all doors to the building opened and writing in our journal, we could not mop the perspiration from our brow (and there is absolutely nothing on the interior just to provide a view of the weather), we could not help but think about some of our unfortunate frigid cities of the North and East. We are wondering how Frater Chick Coleman, Dewey R. Jones and John C. Babb, editor of Richard (Dick) "Dickes" of the Chicago Bee; Joe Bibb, Judge of Chicago Whip; C. A. Franklin of the Kansas City Call; C. A. Barnett, editor of Chicago Whip; C. A. Franklin of the Chicago; George S. Schuyler of the Messenger, New York City; Floyd J. Calvin, former feature editor of Chicago Whip; and a host of the members of the Fourth Estate, are enjoying the winter while ideal spring weather is prevailing in "Heavenly Houston."

While running to completion all projected municipal improvements would be the erection of a masonnage structure to accommodate fully 20,000 to 25,000 people (for benefit of outsiders we have a $120,000 municipal auditorium seating fully 6,500, we feel that the building is not ample for the needs of the city, and the attendance at convention proceedings), the city father's and civile leaders will do well to see that the city is really ready to move forward. The elled streets close to the business area and convention hall, already full of holes and ruts, are repaired; that the city is ready to move forward to Smith, or at least from Louisiana to Smith; that McKinney is paved from Louisiana to Baggage Dallas; that the remnants of bridge THE HOUSTON INFORMER LANDED MEET JESSE H.

The face of the earth," he said, never forget, no matter what anti-secret society may say against the Grand United Order of Fellows, be it done for the adoration of the earth or society of organization (with the exception of the church of Jesus Christ) done for the adoration of the earth, socially and morally, and none, as much for the peculiary aid in the hour of askance of the United Order of Fellows. The work was not for a select and special minister of management. As master builders of the Grand Order of Old Fellows of the United States, the Order of Old Fellows low me to call the roll of the honored man, and he is truly honored until he be dead. Let us go back to 1843, and call from the dead the lamented Fellows of the United States. He was the founder of the first lodge of the United States for Ogregrus. His troubles were many, his burdens were heavy, his trials were hard, and he had undertaken faith in the guide him with a mighty force and power, but he had undertaken faith in the guide him with a mighty force and power, but that he could not fall, and victory was sure and certain, because God was on Peter Orgden was scouted, insulted, and denied admission in the lodge skin was black. His skin was black but his heart was olan, and his heart was filled with love for humanity. He was born in the hearts of the thousands by multiplied thousands of men, women, and girls who will ever cherish the skin. Hearty Odd Fellows, again allow me to call the roll of some of the men in our church in sowing the seeds of friendship, love and truth in cities, towns, hamlets and plains: James Fields, our first grand master; George T. Dowling, our first master; Joseph W. Crummell, W. Gipson, Joseph W. Johnson, John Bower, Roy M. Burrell, B. Roweer, Roy Burr, Remeud Fausen, and Wm. T. Forrester. They are gone, they have carried in their their work trampled in the dust. Let us not be found wanting when the men in our church selfishness, malice, hatred, strife and ery. We use us sow the seed of encouragement in our young men and women's hearts; that we be in honorable and upright path. The manhood and womanhood of today must be built upon the pilgrim who are in honorable and upright path. We should be ashamed to die, unless we have done something to help our world just for himself. The ourself life of every man bends him toward us, and toward our own and toward, for the help of others.

In the form of a skin, the palm of the palmion which stretched the skin. To put new wine in the bottle after it was stretched would cause it to be broken and the palmion would place.

The Disciples Picking Ears of Corn on the Sabbath (Mark 2:28-29). 1. The charge made against the dishonest person. Perhaps they were on their way to the synagogue to worship when they were supposed to be the plaicees accused of lawlessness. Defends them against the charge (vv. 25-28). 1. (He) Cites a precedent (vv. 25-28). He showed them that the very law breaking recorded the fact that David the great king of Israel had gone into the house of God and eaten the meat only by the priests. 2. (He) shows the eaten nature of a Sabbath (vv. 27). The Sabbath was made for man, therefore its right use is to be deter- bent, to be forgiven, to be honest, to truth, purity and love differ from the law, purity and love differ from the law of the Sabbath and there is no circumstance or condition which they may be departed from. (3) Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath (v. 28), who he instituted it when creation was finished, therefore He had a right to use it as it pleased Him for man to do. (4) He handed a Man's Withered Hand on the Sabbath (3:1-6). (5) The place the synagogue (v. 2) was on the Sabbath. He went to the place of worship. the presence of the man with a withered hand gave him a substitute and administrator a rebuke to the plaisees. (6) The plaisees watching (v. 2). they knew that Jesus would be interested in them, they surmised that some work would have to be performed to heal him. (7) The man made an exercise (v. 3). they wanted to be open to all, so He communed the man to stand forth where all could see him. "Is it hailow to do good on the Sabbath or, to do evil, to save life or to do evil, to make the issue clear, to do good, to show works of mercy to do good, to show works of mercy to save life, is to be guilty of wrong actions," the man healed (v. 5). The man healed (v. 5). Christ healed him by speaking the Word so they could not accuse Him. The pliaress were silenced. There was no ground upon which to accuse Him. But since their hearts were filled with sorrow, they might not peril Him to death. Effect of One Sin Where one sin has entered, regions will force their way through the same breach—Rogers.

The Hurricane lead and Morehouse found herself trulling. Two points behind, Sapp and Morehouse found the lead. The game ended here. It was short afterward that Morehouse broke Roberts, star Atlanta U. forward, was the only invader who managed to win the Tigers' defense and took high point honors with 7 points.

Late in the extra period, and trailing by some eight points, the Atlanta team shot long shots from past mid-floor and failed to follow through.

We take pleasure in presenting this column devoted to business and its problems as an instrument for constructive change in the race reading public. We have numbers; we have religious institutions galore; our educational progress continues to improve with gratifying satisfaction; our welfare and protesting agencies are doing splendid work, and politically our problems are being met with varying success and disappointment by the organized machines designed to handle them. It is in the field of commerce and business that the greatest assistance, and the greatest amount of education is required. Here is where intensive study of experience of the Negro, as well as those of other people who made good, are most needed. Our business efforts will succeed in proportion as the men business have made available to them the statistics, the knowledge of governing factors, the practical policies, and the benefits of market research that has created the other big businesses of the land. How to obtain this information and to crystallize it into readily distributed form has long been a problem to those in race advancement. The Associated Negro Press has, we believe, solved the problem of the distribution of the Negro Press has effected an arrangement with the National Negro Business League, the Bureau of Domestic Commerce of the U. S. government and with a number of other reliable agencies on business information and research. We have a reliable news and views. In addition to the carefully edited column of news If your cost of operating exceeds 27.7 out of every dollar's worth of goods sold, then it is time for you to cast about and find out where the cost is and ascertain what may be done to reduce the drain on your business. This sort of budgeting will help you program the construction of a more profitable nelling program; a closer coordination of sales and purchases, the need for your financial program and a better supervision over your whole business. More careful and better guided thinking will result. You will learn to make and expect employers to make more speedy reports; you will have an understanding of the business process, which will give you to rather than to chance, the control of your business. This table is but a bit $o$ an extract from a fourteen-page treatise upon budgeting business; one of the eight chapters in Retail Business, which will give you to know when he needs a first-hand, dependable adviser; a friend to help him in time of business troubles. It costs but twenty cents to procure the whole business, and is dependent of documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. Indiana, Miss.—(A N P)—Unable to stand the rain caused by the reports that the bank had a large deposit in the Fraternal and Solvent Savings Bank of Memphis, which closed its doors a few days ago, the Delta Penny Savings Bank of this city closed its doors last Wednesday. Indiana, Miss. —(ANP) That the failure of the Delta Penny Savings Bank, here last week, did not destroy the confidence of Negroes in a Negro bank, was evidenced here Tuesday when plans were launched by a group of leading citizens to organize a new bank, which would take over the bank, and a new bank, an all liabilities and certain securities of the old bank. The run had its beginning early Friday morning of last week, when the bank closed its papers that the Indiana bank was in jeopardy because of the failure of the Memphis bank. Local depositors who had been withdrawn their funds until Wednesday morning the officers of the bank were forced to call in the bank. The Delta Penny Savings Bank, which closed here, following a run in the institution in 2015, had a large deposit in the Fraternal and Solvent Savings Bank of Memphis which closed its doors in 2016. In the hands of a white receiver and the bank examiners and auditors are the agents auditing the affairs of the institution. It is also reported that the assets of the local bank, like that of Memphis, include a large number of frost-banks in 1914 and in 1914 and some 40,000 deposits with deposits of over $200,000 of all which is protected under the guaranty banking law and will be back with four per cent interest.
