Wurzbach, United States congressman from the fourteenth congressional (San Antonio) district of Texas, and member of the house of representatives committee on military affairs, paid The Informer and the editor the following compliment: “I want at this time to congratulate you and your publication for the lofty and patriotic stand that you have taken in behalf of the party (Republican) and dear to you. I have on several occasions shown your editorials to congressmen that called at my office, and in every case the editorians met their high praise.” “I want to congratulate you for the fine publicity campaign you have put on in Texas, to induce your people to pay their poll taxes and qualify themselves for participation in the conventions this spring.” We merely reproduce these excerpts from the original version of the letter to show how The Informer is regarded and read in one of the highest branches of our national legislative body and to permit our readers to see, first hand, that we engage in no idle boast of the public interest. “The Informer as “America’s Greatest Weekly Newspaper.” Congressman Wurzbach, elected four consecutive times on the Republican ticket from the San Antonio House of Representatives, was the first of the 200委员.

The annual observance of “Negro History Week” will be held throughout the United States, beginning Sunday, February 5 and ending Saturday, February 12. The celebration of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, of which Dr. Carter G. Woodson, eminent historian of Washington, D. C., is director of The idea of this special week is to acquaint both the Negro and other races concerning the history and achievements of the African or black race, without reflecting upon or detracting from the history of other races. Additional purposes of the celebration are to popularize the study of Negro life and history and to secure more support for its promotion. Our great历史philosophy is that of a human and a human race, “Know thyself,” and, since the American Negro has devoted very little time to a study of himself, his past and present, but on the other hand has accepted, without protest or refutation, the same and similar delights and regards as those which by those who seek to burden the race with an “inferiority complex,” it is high time that the colored American should begin a systematic and unbiased study of himself and others. It is indeed encouraging and gratifying to observe the warm response to “Negro History Week,” as manifested in several sections of the country by educational, religious, and political programs, such as, among both races; and we are hoping that our many Texas institutions of learning, both colleges and high schools, will observe this special week with fitting and appropriate programs. We note that, Judge R. D. Evans of Waco, president of the Independent Colored Veterans' League of Texas, has been programmed to deliver an address at Samuel Huston College, Austin, Wednesday, February 8 (during said school's observance of “Negro History Week”), on “The Negroes' Politics.” It will be recalled that the statewide conference called by this organization, the Capital City, the meeting being largely attended by a very representative group of Negroes of the state, where a poll tax paying camisar was launched which had very few results. An selection of Judge Evans to testify only brought the attention of all important subject, shows that the thinking Negroes of this state realize that the elective franchise right can any group of citizen function as genitive American electors.

WINSLOW'S STYRUP 11 cups milk (By REV. P. B. PITEWATER, D.D., Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (40, 192, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for February 5 JEBSU MISUNDERSTOOD AND OPPOSED. LESSON TEXT - Mark 3:19-31; 6:14-16 DENTAL TEXT - He came into his house as many as he power to become the sons of God, and as many as he power to then give him a power to become the sons of God, PRIMARY TOPIC - Friends in Junior TOPIC - Friends in Junior TOPIC - Facing Unavoidable Opposition. MIDDLE TOPIC - Friends in Middle TOPIC - The Misunderstood Jesus. 1. Jesus Misunderstood by His Friends (3:19-21). 1. the occasion (v. 19, 20). 1. the importance of important events in the middle of an rapid succession. The twelve had been cheerful, and with Him his friends in preaching and healing in Galilee. Such great interest was aroused that though Jesus was weary and tired, he preached to his friends. 2. What His friends purposeed to do (v. 21). We lay out to lay in bed so that he gave Him giving Him self-help so they abasured Him himself so they helped him from His forbearance by taking Him from His bed. 3. What they sold (v. 21). "He in beside himself." His passionate devotion to saving the host seemed to be 1. Jesus Opposed by the Scribes (vv. 23-28). 2. He charged (v. 22). They charged Him with casting out demons by Bezzelbush. According to Matthew 16:16, Jesus charged the demons in this charge. The occasion which provoked the charge was the healing of a man possessed with a demon by Jesus. He warned the serving service for needy men by attributing His zeal to religious frenzy, and He being in league with the devil. 3. Christ's reply (vv. 23-27). He exposed his folly by a question and answer to the disciples (vv. 1). (1) "How can Satan cast our Satan?" If after Satan gets control he can be freed from the languish that he would thus become his own energy. In view of the nature of the devil, this is unlikelihood. (2) "If a kingdom be divided against itself that kingdom cannot be saved," he divided against itself, a suicide. A living example of this folly is seen in China today. He divided against itself, that house cannot stand (vv. 25). House here mean family. The family that wars against itself will (4) No man can enter into a strong man's house and spell his goods excessively (v. 27). Salam is the strong man, the house is the world, the goods of the house are the human beings whose welfare and happiness Sainam (v. 27). Christ's charge (v. 28, 30). Since He was doing the works of God (for before their very eyes He was doing the works of God) He was undoing the works of the devil. He went about doing good. Wherever He were men were blessed, wherever He were women were blessed, deaf ears were unrestrained, the lame were made to walk and the dead were raised. Having with unavailable resources charged home upon them most availful guilt, that of blasphemy against the Holy God, Blasphemy against the works of the Spirit to the deeds of the great sin there is no pardon. II. Jesus misunderstood by His Failure (v. 83, 132) He was mother with some of the object of getting Him home because they thought he had lost his reason. Of course His brothers did not believe that they had their final interview moved them to try to get Him home. No doubt he was most painful to Jesus. His most painful experience was used the deed to hinder Him. IV. Jesus misunderstood by His Failure Townman (6:1-8) He was unable to question the reality of Christ's work and the power of His words, but because he was one of them they were marvelous example of the blighting effects of prejudice. Because of this attitude of soul on the part of the brother, they were very limited among them. And he marveled because of their mislefth. **Vinity** Variety of vanity upon the preacher, all at vanity. And because, however, the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he gave good heed, and sought out, and proved many prose—Ecclesiastes 12:8-9.

"LOVE BAG" LOSES HOLDING POWER; HUBBY DEPARTS Birmingham, Ala.—(AN.)—To prevent her husband from "stepping out with other women," Mrs. Mary Jones bought a love charm which she wore around her neck constantly. Everything worked fine until hubby found out about the mystic little bag and conceived the notion that wifey was trying to "hoodoo" him. To escape the evil spell of the charm, George Jones, who was the husband, deserted his home and refused to provide for his wife as he had promised the minister he would do. Mrs. Jones stuck to the charm for a while and then decided to call in the Law, and last Wednesday morning found George before the judge trying to explain why he had not provided for his wife. With the bag destroyed, George promised the court that he would "do better." New hair for old Made makes your hair new! dressing.

ROBERT T. H. SIMMONS, president Crude Oil and Royalty Corp of Mexico, well-known oil mag- ister, who was in his native city during last week-end on important bus- ness visit, will be interviewed where here that he favors the candidate of Governor Alfred Smith and the highest office within the gift of the American electorate, and the political and spiritual, as Democratic vice-presidential candidate. The politician nor posing as such, the colonel made it quite clear that the Negroes of America were not being "armed" by the Republican party during the last seven or eight years, and that he thinks the time has arrived for the party to support North and South, to support men and princi- ples rather than more measure "During my extended overland jaunt during last summer," the colony governor Empire State, I observed that Governor Al Smith is very popular with the residents of Northern and other Northern and Eastern states; and, it is my candid belief that if the Democrat nominate him at the governor's convention in Houston during June, he will receive more votes from colorful electors than the candidate in the history of the nation. My chief magistrate of New York, Governor Smith has earned a well-deserved reputation for strength and impartiality in dealing with both men and measures, and his favorable attitude toward colored citizens has been a strong influence among New York and Eastern Negroes. Thousands of these colored men attitude and platform, but because they recognize him as a type of person who believes and advocates the fundamental principles of democracy, which, translational to the language of the rule—a government in which all the people share alike and are treat- "In my humble opinion I do not know a single man now being favorably appointed by the Republicans who can measure up to the Gotham governor whose name is not known, nor can be doubted or even consistently questioned. I believe that much, if not most of the opposition, particularly in the South, against Governor Smith was a result of his religious connections, and that he was not a candidate for high election grounds upon which to oppose and beat any candidate for the Republican, Colonel Simmons fired back this rejoinder: from framers of the Constitution, deemer or dreamed that the day would ever arrive in this country when a man's vote would be for any office within the gift of the electorate, and I am for AI Smith, the president of membership in the Catholic church and his pronounced opposition to the Volunteer law as presently constituted. I am not both domestic and foreign matters and represents the masses rather "Please don't forget to include in your interview," the colon insisted, "that I am a Democrat and that I name Hose. Jice H. Jones, our financial leader and eminent citizen, as Al Smith's running mate, in the campaign, but how does a Smith-Jones combination sound to you? Mr. Jones is the logical man for the Democraticocratic ticket, and I am firmly of the opinion that Texas Democrats are just as big from all angles as the party from other sections of the country. Then, as the banner Democratic state, Texas is this consideration from "Another thing," the colonel finally retorted, "can tell the world how much time has arrived in Texas for colored citizens who have followed blindly and ignorantly the so-called 'grand old party.' No genius can be so blind to any political party, and the Negro will never get the political and party power, and is entitled to, until he, racial speaking, learns how to use the ballot like other free American citizens.

Allen B. Doggett, Jr. edition of the magazine writes that: "It is a most valuable contribution to public knowledge that the facts cited are not generally known to the public." The writer develops the fact that the Metropolitan Insurance Company, second largest company in America, will not issue any form of policy to insurance relations with colored people upon the publication in 1868 of Fred R. Hoyt's book on insurance relations with colored people and Tendencies of the American Negreu. Mr. Hoffman predicted that the Negreu race would have died out by 1870 and social diseases, causing nearly all insurance companies to reject Negreu. During the National Urban League meeting in New York last year follow-up meetings with Harry H. Pace, writer of the Southern Workman article, took the Mr. Hoffman securely to talk for his stories and figures used in his book. Mr. Pace divides the 381 life service figures according to their attitude on the Negro. It is interesting to note some of the New York Life employees Negroes in its home office, but very grueling while the Metropolitan insurance everybody but will give no employment to them to make them less likely to the Metropolitan, it is reported, collects over a million dollars a week from New York Life insurance dollars to them in wages or salaries. Twelve colored life insurance companies have less insurance in force than they do in New York. Mr. Pace makes a place for race patronage of race companies. Mr. Pace makes a place for mortgage loans and investments and for employment of Negro boys and girls who are coming to the United States. A. M. E. Z.

The plan provides pensions in proportion to the year in which the pension was made, of $800 per year the age of 70 years. Membership in ministerial relief is daily common with the ministers and the proposed pensions are to be paid from interest on an endowment of $100,000 per year. Oscar W.

Of course, there are really many more types, or combinations of these types, but virtually all goods offered for sale come within one or the other of the three following definitions: Merchandise the customer needs articles which a customer may want, and articles which the customer may be induced to want. The habits and customs of different localities differ so that goods that may be in one category in one community, may be held in entirely different estates elsewhere, and be classified in one of the other two groups. It is, therefore, impossible to cite examples. Each merchant must determine this for himself: self-selling instinct is so highly developed, many people will be impressed with a more view of an article that has not been occurred to their minds as being at all desirable. Therefore, the reverse of the listing given above makes a very excellent plan for laying out the merchandise in a store. The customer will quite willingly walk through the aisles of a store for the needs he needs. To a less extent, he will travel through other department stores, where he will be taught to want to en route to these other, more or less, already sold commodities. Merchandise that may be sold upon impulse to the customer, and goods which he must be invigilated into wanting, should all be placed along the regular lines of traffic through the store. It is reasonable to expect that customers will go to any part of a store to buy essentials, therefore, the merchant must be able to place the thing he is to be taught into the proper co-relating of departments is a very important factor in the selling of many lines of goods. Does your display of goods in all lines function so as to give you the best possible experience? If not, you are in some sales that are rightfully yours. Dress materials suggest the findings and many minor contributions to the completed garment. Shoes and stockings are of all interested. So are ham and eggs. It is not necessary to continue a long list of possibilities. Slow moving stocks may be speeded up a bit by placing them near a more rapidly handled line. The psychological effect of quickly made sales often may be exercised, the nearby place which otherwise had been installed fashionable. In addition to these practices, the merchant must give due regard to the customer's ability to pay for the services. The comfort of the customers, for a tired customer becomes increasingly difficult to please or even to interest. The sense of pleasure must be encouraged. The efficiency of the sales force has opportunity for demonstration only after a fair chance to function has been provided by the merchant who himself must provide stock planning and general customer welfare in his es- Congress' Economic Expert Speaks "Of course, the consumer is largely to blame for this state of affairs." We hear a lot of talk about the tremendous gap between the cost of the service and the cost of the service. We know that the cost of the service reaches the ultimate consumer. Here is what happens: The average family wants too much service. A man will not move into a neighborhood where there is not a grocery store, a meat market and every other shoppers are in the same place. The price is a lot of the store seeking to render the same service, competition is too keen, and the volume of available business too small. "The housewife wants a spool of thread or a paper of pins. She steps to take the water and the time to do the work. All of these extra costs of delivery and service must eventually be absorbed by the consumer. We need fewer merchants, greater volume of business per store, greater economy of operation, and more knowledge of the costs of the service. We need more information and information, and we can do to guide the small business man into the light will be a boon." It is apparent from the words of the congressman that one of the developers of the company has a name that is what is a reasonable service to customers and what is an expensive burden upon the individual business entirely out of proportion to the ability of the business house to sustain. If a service costs more than the net profit upon the transactions involved, the cost of the service is higher than other business done, with the cost of the house, exacting excessive service in connection with their purchases, the business had best be lost. Better a small volume of business with a definite margin of profit upon each article sold, than a large gross turnover with a minimum of the sales costing more to consider them than the earned by the deals.

In last week's issue of The Informer, there appeared an open letter to the Republicans of Texas, from the pen of D. W. Worter of Sherman, suggesting a statewide conference of Republicans to be held in some Texas city in the near future; at which point some definite decision would be made to the at-large Republican of Texas Republicans who believe in a party of ALL THE PEOPLE. The employment department showed 847 registrations, 682 calls for help and 113 inquiries enrolled in Girls Reserve, 15 clubs 24 advisers and 10 committees. P. Sarbar is chairwoman of the committee, the following serving as heads of the various committees: Mme. M. L. A. D. A. Dewell, J. H. Lovell, T. M. Fairbairn, G. O. Smith, G. I. M. Methchell, G. H. Webster, W. P. Terrell, Ray Williams W. J. Howard; with Mrs. J. W. Finley (white), work commitment group In his letter the North Texas physician stated a mighty truth when he proclaimed: "No people may expect to enjoy civil liberty and the rights of freemen except through the ballet. Liberty must be given away! It is a whine be be fought! Fight with the ballet, the only safeguard of freedom and civil rights." The writer also took the position that, merely because the Texas Negroes have "failed in a few feeble efforts to regain our freedom," they should "be given the race should "skulk and whine" at its "sad and bitter fate." The following young ladies compose the staff of workers: M. Doris Warden-Wilton, executive secretary, M. Katherine and business; Miss Irene A. Booster caterer; Miss Marie E. Jefferson Girls Reserve; M. E. E. R. Washing The Sherman doctor is strong in his belief that the Texas Negroes should not hoist the "white flag" (admitting defeat) and thereby remain in their tents; but that past defeats should nerve and inspire us for greater conflicts, and that ultimately victory will perch on our racial standards. To substantiate this connection he cites attention to the age-old struggle of the Irish to attain their racial independence; how they struggled, fought, bled and even died over a period of 200 or more years—but victory finally came, and today the Irish Free State boasts of its political and national autonomy: Liberty, freedom, equality! Both the cateraie and assembly room were filled with the annual banquet-meeting. Tuesday and excellent program was rendered, including a practical demonstration of the cateraie's equipment. The Informer agrees with the Sherman medico that the Re- presentative should be able to present the present partisan regime now controlling and manipulating party affairs in this state, should hold a statewide conference in this state, and should be able to make any claims for, well-prepared, political campaign, during 1982. HOUSTON PASTOR DELIVERS SERMON AT STATE SCHOOI If there are no Republican leaders who wish to assume the responsibility for issuing the call for such a conference, then The Informer suggests that the call be issued under the auspices of the Independent Colored Voters' League of Texas, headed by Judge R. D. Evans of Waco—a state organization with a potent influence of between 200,000 and 250,000 qualified electors during 1928. Prairie View, Tex.-Sunday morning, January 29, 11 a.m., the auditorium at Prairie View State College. J. R. Novel, director, J. R. Hovell, D. d, pastor of Trinity M. E. Church, Houston. Music was furnished by the college orchestra. D. R. Novel, director of music. Prof. Carroll, assistant chaplain and staff. Shall such a meeting be called? If so, when and where? THE "BOYS" ARE STARTING EARLY! Upon the heels of the announcement that the Republican state executive committee of Texas, dominated by National Committeeman R. B. Creeger of Brownsville and State Chairman James H. Hobson of Brownsville, came of the dervish of Herbert Hoover on the Republican national ticket, came a denunciation of such "hasty and premature" actions by Congressman Harry M. Wurzbach, the only Republican from the Lone Star State, who has been representing the San Antonio governor since 1920, and President Warren G. Gandolfini, the country in 1920. Dr. Lovell, as soon as he was present to the college, began the main points of his sermon, announcing as he did that he sent me it is day, for the night cometh when no man can wait to see him "Facing the Sunrise." For more than an hour the able logician and pulpit orator, taking Jesus as the shepherd of the fundamentals of Christianity "Jesus was burying mingel with the angels," he said, saving lost men and women, said Dr. Lovell, and if男男 would grow in grace and accomplish something the Teacher, must also work and be busy in those things that make the world not only wiser, but nobler and better. Mr. Wurzbach, in a newspaper interview, asserted that while he had no personal objections to Mr. Hoover as the presidential candidate of the Republican party, he could not endorse the Democratic candidate in Texas, which he instituted themselves so far in advance of the state convention next May, are trying to "hog-tie" the Republicans of this state. While the law does not expressly forbid the executive committee to vote for any candidate of any aspirant in advance of state conventions or primaries for such purpose, the main functions of such a committee are to select place of meeting of state convention (date is fixed by civil statute), and transact other business of an executive nature affect Discussing crime in relation to labor, the eminent minister, among other things said, that 90 per cent of the crimes were committed by the idle classes, and that work, earnest unselfish, and righteous, was the salvation of the race. Many Texas Republicans, who are favorable to Mr. Hoover's candidacy, are opposed to the action of the Republican state executive committee in its recent action endorsing this candidacy. The Republican state stamped the Republican voters of the state to the Hoover camp. Dr. Lovell deplored the tendency to get away from the fundamentalism in the church, instead of those real, imperishable demands of immortal service to their fellowships and summoned the youth of the church to consecrate the consecrated service of the Master making the sweeter, richer and more glorious life they have lived. It must be borne in mind that the delegates to the Republican national convention, which meets in Kansas City, Mo., June 12, 1928, will be selected from the state, and will not be selected until the state convention of the party is held at Dallas during May, 1928. The delegates will make such commitments at this stage of the game, when the members are not sure that they will be delegates or alternates to the Kansas City powow, has aroused the ire and resentment of any number of Texas Republicans. These objectors claim that only the state convention will be held. TUSKEGEE PLANS COACHING SCHOOL DURING SUMMER They further assert that the individual members of the state executive committee have the constitutional right to support the party's nomination and to appoint its appointees such action should not be done as a body, nor should these party chiefs endeavor to fasten their individual choice or choices upon the members of the party in Texas, who are supposed to have a few rights left in the party of Lincoln.

You should find it to their advantage to investigate the course to be given in the summer school for coaches be held in the fall. Such premature and hasty endorsements and commitments to such a dangerous political explosives as was demonstrated Houston Housetown and the executive committee sought to endorse Governors Al Smith and Dan Moody for president and vice-president, respectively, of the In establishing this work in athletic coaching and physical education, we must demand which comes from school and which comes from home, in addition to teaching the regular trade and academic subjects of the physical exercises of the Three of the five members took the attitude that the duty of an executive committee was not to endorse or pledge support to any candidate for office, but to function for the best interests of the organization. They were not to endorse and, when the other two members of the local executive committee raised questions of two members' eligibility to further serve on said committee, the parley ended in confusion and dissension; with the minority contending that its Smith-Moody endorsed the resolution of failure of passage before its body. There is a constant demand for young men fitted as outlined above. Requests for this type of young men come from all parts of the South. Thus it would appear that the "boys" in both political camps are just "hissing to go"—are literally "biting the bite" to dash down the political track, or root themselves hoarse as supporters and adherents of certain presidential aspirants and "favorite Last year the placement bureau received requests from a number of schools for young men who could not attend one phase of trade or academic work. PROPOSES TRADE SCHOOL IN CITY M. J. R. TOOMER According to announcement made this week by J. R. Toomer, it is proposed to establish a school in Houston for the purpose of training young men and women of the race for work in industrial plants and race women for domestic service. This institution will be known as the Southern Practical Trade School, and the two women hopes to be able to open next September. Mr. Toomer states that “thousands of our people, who formerly worked in industrial plants, have been or are now being eliminated by labor-saving devices which they cannot operate, and thus unemployment is becoming acute. We need to learn how to operate such machinery and to do it efficiently and understandingingly. According to Mr. Toomer, he regards Houston as an ideal city for such a school, having a colored population around 60,000 and with several hundred industries. He is appealing for financial aid and announces the following trustees: Rev. A. Hubbard, W. J. Johnson, Rev. J. H. M. Boyce, S. H. Smith and J. Wesley Hall. Mr. Toomer states that he is a graduate in electrical engineering from Cooke Electrical College, Chicago, and A. M. College, Normal, Ala. and Texas College, Tyler.

Urge Houstonians To Back PV Meet; Local Youth Head Urge Houstonians To Back PV Meet; Local Youth Head Secretary G. T. Stocks announces receipt of a communication to the effect that the seventh Older Boys' State Conference will be held at Prairie View, Texas, March 2-4, 1928. The conference is regularly scheduled to meet in April, but due to the fact that R. W. Bullock, boys' secretary of the National Council, will be in this state March 2-4, the conference leaders thought it advisable to use Mr. Bullock's entire time in conference with the boys themselves, and therefore are setting the conference a month earlier. It is hoped that the Hi Yi clubs of the city, churches, Sunday schools and other organizations dealing with young men in large numbers, will also be the members of the opportunity to get a large representation to this conference. Houston has every reason to boost the conference when we consider the fact that one of Houston's sons in the person of C. F. Richardson, Jr., is president of the same.

PROGRESS SHOWN DIRECTORS PICK BY VICTORY LIFE HERNDON HEAD ANNUAL REPORTS ATLANTA LIFE PROGRESS SHOWN DIRECTORS PICK BY VICTORY LIFE HERNDON HEAD ANNUAL REPORTS ATLANTA LIFE Chicago, Ill.—The fourth annual meeting of the stockholders of Victory Insurance, in company of James W.

This figure is more paid-for business for 1928, which was $421,701, and for 1929, which was $421,701, and for 1929, which was representes an increase of 285% over 1926, or nearly three times as much. The significance of the production is that it represents a large number of with the records of other companies during a like or longer period. There was a large organization, which is re- presented a white organization, which is re- presented a Southern companies, and during its fourth year of operation, its agency had paid-for to the amount of $438,000, which also a Victory Life of Kansas, which during its fifth year had paid-for to the amount of $438,000.
