If you think so take a walk down to 36 West 135th street about 8 a.m. or 12 noon and you will see a crowd of colored girls rushing out. Of course it is not a suffragette meeting going on upstairs, but they are simply some of the many employees of Berry & Ross Manufacturing incorporation going out to lunch. This rapidly growing manufacturing enterprise has been in operation right here in Harlem, the largest, most up-to-date women's and children's dress factory, owned, operated and controlled by Negroes anywhere. But to see the plant in full operation would make Ben Tilman turn over in his grave. The company's stock is here sold at WATERLOO ITEMS. Rev. J. W.

The Trustee rally at the Franklin Noted Lawyer ORATOR, POLITICIAN AND BUSINESS MAN DIES AFTER SORT ILLNESS Chicago, Ill., Dec. 12.—Beauregard F. Moseley, for nigh on a quarter of a century an honored and respected citizen of this city, passed away Monday night at 7 o'clock at Fort Dearborn hospital, Thirty-eighth street and Vernon avenue. Mr. Moseley's illness was of brief duration and his sudden death was a severe shock to his family and many friends. His activities for civic worth and political preferment extends over a period of many years and reached its zenith in 1912 when the progressives attempted the election of Theodore Roosevelt for president. In this campaign Mr. Moseley played a conspicuous part and enjoyed the confidence of all the leaders of the Roosevelt movement. A few years later it fell to him to be the chief exponent of our people in the movement to elect Medill McCormick to the United States senate. He was an able orator and a ready debater and was a favorite on the public platform.—Defender. Should Be Quarantined. catching as measles. One thing sure—the sooner one rids himself of a cold the less the danger, and you will look a good while before you find a better medicine than Chambrain's Cough Remedy to aid you in curting a cold. Many physicians believe that anyone who has a bad cold should be completely isolated to prevent other members of the family and associates from contracting the disease, as colds are about as $10 per share, and so as to make every race man and woman a part owner, they are selling on the installment basis, accepting Liberty Bonds also. It is gratifying to see the large number of people who flock to the office daily in order to take advantage of this opportunity. You could do yourself and your children no better service than to invest in this enterprise. The company will not except your money without first allowing you to inspect the plant. A very strong feature of this corporation is that they give first preference to stockholders in reference to employment.

Stigger, who has been with us for the last two months helping her father in his church work, returned to her home at Mt. Vernon, Ill., to take up a school. Miss Stigger was a great church worker and made friends with all she came in contact. The wedding play given by her in the interest of the general claims on the evening before she left was a success.

Colored People Have Too Much Prosperity in West to Suit Southerners. A $3000,00 HOTEL Chicago Also to Have State Bank Backed by Colored Capital. Chicago, Dec. 12.—In a recent address at South Park Methodist Episcopal church, here, Dr. W. W. Lucas, assistant general secretary of the Epworth league, Methodist Episcopal church, declared: "The white people of the south feel that if they would wipe Chicago from the map, the race problem could easily be solved." What has Chicago done; what is Chicago doing, and what is it going to do? The people of Chicago have initiative economic opportunity, political power, commercial advantages, wealth and numbers. With these combinations, it is no wonder that it is the most talked of city in America, and yet, the opportunities have not all been worked out or even taken advantage of. There is no city in the country where the people of the group are more united than they are in Chicago at this time. What is this unity doing for Chicago?

Bullock of Wabbeka, Ark., editor and manager of the Wabbekae Journal, a prominent newspaper man and favored among the people. The nuptial knot was solemnized by the Rev. W. H.

May happiness and prosperity attend them throughout the entire walks of life. Prosperity in the South Jackson, Miss., Dec. 12.—Evidence of the progress of Negroes in Mississippi, especially along educational lines is found in the fact that Mound Bayou, a Negro settlement, owned and controlled entirely by Negroes, has just voted the issuance of $100,000 in bonds for the erection of a school. It will be for teacher training and vocational training purposes. It will be the largest institution of its kind in the south. According to Bura Hilbun, state supervisor of colored schools, upward of $300,000 will be spent for Negro schools before the close of the present year. The state board of education is lending every possible aid to this development, and employs a Negro supervisor of schools, as well as Mr. Hilbun.

"The Liberty" has been incorporated; a state bank backed by a group of prominent businessmen, is to be opened the first of the year; the Chicago Defender is soon to enter its own building with a $100,000 equipment; a building and loan association "The Pyrimid" has been established; the Associated Negro Press is preparing to increase the force of its service for 1920; a fully equipped moving picture studio has been opened; there will be a candidate for a member of congress; and more than $1,000 will be expended next year in building and real estate transfers. These scattered illustrations serve to show the practical working out of Chicago spirit—"I Will" and probably explains, in part, why some are uneasy about group progress in the "Windy City."

Mr. Adam Dixon, caretaker of the church has secured two large loads of wood and coal and the church will be comfortable for service Sunday. The church must be the center of community activity. Its influence must permeate the home where the true, the beautiful and the good thrive in an atmosphere of Christian enureture. Multitudes of homes in Des Moines are in peril; homes where grace is never said at meal time; where there is no family altar and no regular attendance at church; where making a living, sending the children to school, attending commercialized amusements, and clubs in the sole program. The church must sound the alarm, Bondary services took on an evangel- lite spirit. One person united with the church and one knelt for prayer. The Sunday school enjoyed a large attendance.
