"The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People does not concern itself with universal military training as such," says the statement, "but in behalf of the colored people of the United States objection must be made to the propaganda against colored soldiers by which it was hoped to discredit." "Brigadier General Sharburne, and Newton D. Baker, secretary of war, have testified to the valor of Negro troops in France.

It was held by the owner at a price in the neighborhood of $200,000. This sale represents one of the biggest transactions handled by Colored investors in this section for a long time judged from the stamppoint not only in dollars, but in the commanding amount in the judgment of the brokers who sold it one of the most valuable sites for improvement in the entire Harlem section.

DAVENPORT NOTES. (R. C. Moore). The concert held by the Woman's Mite Missionary society was a decided success. A very excellent program was rendered, and a special feature of the same was a bologne produce and produced and played by Mr. Raymond Moore and two other characters in the person of Miss Irene McGaw and little Evelyn Sheppard. The play will be repeated in the near future. A neat little sum was realized by the society, the amount being $20 and still more coming in. Raymond Moore is now a first lieutenant in one of the many government units stationed in Davenport. Sometimes ago Mr. Moore was elected to a very prominent position in the U. S. Scouts that of being chairman of the board of officers of the drum, bugle and fife corps, and also a platoon sergeant of the latter. He acted as a governmental messenger for Captain Packard the board of officers of the drum, bugle and fife corps in Davenport. We are all proud to see the rise that he is making, and we hope that he will continue. Mrs. Mollie Smith of Waterloo, Iowa formerly of Chicago, Ill., spent last Tuesday in Davenport visiting the home of Rev. and Mrs. S. B. Moore. She reports that she had a very nice time. Mrs. Ella Williams has for the past two weeks been quite ill at the home of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Nellie Turner. We all wish her a speedy recovery. The Y. W. C. A. is progressing quite rapidly since they have attained their new secretary in the person of Mrs. Richey. She has certainly made everything go right to the “Y” since she has been here. And the young people are all quite interested in the “Y” last Friday night there were a large number of young people out to the party and the evening and short recitations, games and short recitations. The vesper services at the “Y” are also taking on new life and there are numbers of attendants out every Sunday afternoon. Let’s us all help the Mrs. Richip do the joins of the “Y” over the top.

SATURDAY SERVICE LEAGUE "In our work we have strafed far from the rulings of the Scripture, 'Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, and not five; that is the word God made.' In our work we have as a people has been built. Do you realize what you lose when you stop work of Saturday? The average farmer plows four acres of land every day during cultivation for one month. If he lays off Saturday he misses sixteen acres. If he lays off Saturday he plows four acres thirty-two acres. In great many cases our crops suffer because of lack of cultivation. If you work all day Saturday, during crop season, you can double your amount of cultivation and increase very materially the yield of your corn and cotton. Of 60,000 members joined the league. This estimated that these farmers worked at least twenty-one Saturday, which would make 1,000,260 days. This would be equal to adding 8,400 men to the productive forces of the South, Mr. T. C. Hancock, the chief pointman from Tuskegee institute, distributed 10,000 buttons, 10,000 posters and 20,000 circular letters. A POLITICAL QUIZZ. The Pan Des Moines club endorsed John W. Budd and Marshall Miller. The club placed 1,800 copies of its endorsement into the hands of Negro voters. Upon investigation it was found that 64 voters in one group had never registered or voted before in Iowa. Similar groups were found in other parts of the city. These voters supported the endorsement to a man. It is estimated that at least 1,000 Negro voters supported the endorsement to a club, John W. Budd won by 149 votes. Marshall Miller won by 40 votes. What would have been the result if the Pan Des Moines club had not supported John W. Budd and Marshall Miller? How is Your Complexion?

WM. PICKENS THRILLS LARGE AUDIENCE. Wm. Pickens, formerly dean of Morgan college Baltimore and now field a large audience the N.A. C. P., thrilled a large audience Sunday afternoon at Corinthian church. Mr. Pickens who is one of the country's greatest scholars is a great asset to the National association. Mr. Pickens urged as a solution of the race problem that the white and colored races in America learn to know each other. Mr. Pickens represented that each himself in the place of the other and strive to see the other's point of view. Mr. Pickens came in the interest of the membership drive and a large number of new members were taken in as well as old subscriptions renewed.

BUXTON NEWS The second quarterly meeting held March 29 at St. John's A. M. E. church, Buxton, was a grand success from every point of the compass. Rev. Thos. B. Stovall, presiding elder came on time and was full of intellectual and spiritful and also inspiring sermons, morning afternoon and evening. One person was added to the church. Communion was administered in the afternoon in which a great number came forward and partook. The offering was just superb. Class money for the day $55.40. Total for the day for the quarters $55.00. Grand total from all sources for the quarter $587. The presiding elder presented a very unique and yet, righteous plan, for the purpose of dignifying our pulpit. Many responded to this act of consecrating one dollar to the Lord and His service. The idea is to consecrate one dollar per quarter to the Lord absolutely in all of all established plans and customs, already in vogue in the church. Consecrate, dedicate this to the Lord. This new plan carries with it the honor roll which already has fifteen names and a total of $15 has been raised to date. The stewardess' report was excellent. It showed they had done a good work this quarter, raising $15.00 in leaders and teachers. The report also went to top. The trustees had also a good report. The missionary and Sunday school reports were also interesting and encouraging.

Our people are so widely scattered over this country that one section probably knows every little of the achievements of the other. Their activities are many and as varied as any other one of citizens. It is the aim of the writer to bring before the country, and our people in particular, the achievements of colored athletes during the last decade. We believe it would be a source of knowledge to the older ones, inspiration to the younger ones, and pride to all, to know of these achievements. Since we are going to deal primarily with amateur athletes, we will confine ourselves almost wholly to those members of our race, who have attended universities and colleges throughout the country, and who, from their constant association with other races, are creating a feeling of coercionship and better understanding. The boys who are making these records are confined to no particular section of the country. Many of them come from Southern schools and not only make enviable records for themselves in competition, but return to their Alma Mater and are equally successful in the development of other athletes. A recitation of the difficulties and some of the privations experienced by these boys and of the results attained sound more like fiction than real life. The old adage, that you get out of the game what you put into it, is as true in athletics as in any other line of endeavor. Permit me to cite a few of the outstanding features of the Negro athletes achievements in the last few years: An eminent sportswriter said, "In 1913, that if the Colored track athletes competing at that time could be brought together and a team chosen from them, it would be strong enough to defeat any college team or athletic club in the United States, and would have taken at least two-thirds of the first places. In 1915, a half mile relay team chosen from the Colored sprinters competing at that time, could have defeated any relay team in the country, and have set a new world's record, as each man could do better than 22 seconds in the 220. There is one class of events in which the Negro seems particularly adapted and that is in the sprints. There are many reasons for this, chief among which are the facts, that the Negro is of a nervous and excitable temperament, requisites which are primarily essential in a sprinter; also a less rigorous and exacting course of training is necessary in this class of events than in others, and finally, it was in this class of events that Negros first made a success, and this inspired others to try the same. In fact all the records in running races held by our people, are confined to races not greater than a quarter mile. There has been no time in the past ten years but what a colored athlete has been a member of some college team in the United States, and a point winner, They have secured points in every Inter-Collegiate or National meet in the country, and they hold no less than thirty collegiate National A. A. U. and World's records. There is one goal, however, which they have not attained, and this is an Olmypic championship. This is the ambition of every track athlete. We have had members of Olympic teams but we have never had a winner, although we have had men who have beaten Olympic winners. However, in the Inter-Allied games in France last June, we had a winner in the broad jump, and in winning it he came within two inches of the world's record. Heretofore we have ealt largely with track athletics, but these are other branches of athletics in which the Negro has proven his ability beyond a doubt, and has gained the highest honors. There is no branch of athletics that commands the admiration of the public more than foot-ball. The highest award possible to be placed on Walter Camp's All-American foot-ball team. Negroes have achieved this dis- No More Muddy Skin!

It will be the dreamtable of the best families in the South and throughout the country for a great many years.

Y. tinction and at least a half dozen others have been second and third choices and honorable mention, and the indication is that this number will constantly increase. Then there is basket ball which also has strong appeal for our people. As yet there is no recognized authority rating Colored basket-ball players each year, as in foot-ball and track. So we are not justified in comparing the relative merits of the Colored basket-ball players with those of the white. However, we have had many representatives of the college and university teams of the country who have been recognized and awarded for competitive teams. In addition to this, we are represented by entire teams both in our southern schools and by athletic clubs around New York, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburg, Kansas City and Des Moines, Iowa. Another sport of which we do not hear so much but in which many of our people are finding much pleasure and enjoyment, is tennis. This year for the first time, Colored tennis players of the country have been officially rates. Washington, D. C. seems to lead in the number of people engaged in this sport and in the amount of enthusiasm shown, however, there are other cities having tennis clubs ranking very high, among which are Los Angeles, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, Boston, Springfield, Mass. and in New Haven, Conn. As for baseball, since it is a professional sport, and our reputation as baseball players is so well recognized, the writer feels that it is superfluous to dwell at length on this subject. One of the outstanding features is, that beginning next year we will have an organized Colored league. The circuit as yet has not been definitely decided, but St. Louis, Detroit, Kansas City and Philadelphia. So much for professional baseball. As for amateur baseball there are but few towns that do not boost of a team. All of the southern colleges are represented by excellent teams, and as members of teams representing the Northern colleges and universities, the Negro has been a very important factor. With an aforementioned sports are those which are the largest following and in which the largest number of our athletes have competed. However, in association football, rugby, La Crosse, hockey, Inter-collegiate wrestling and boxing, we have had representatives and very often champions. In fact there is no athletic sport of which I have knowledge, in which the Negro has not proven himself highly proficient, unless it is golf, and it is possible that we will have National representatives in this sport in the future. As the reader will see, we do not attempt to do more than give a resume of Negro athletics as a whole. We do not claim to cover the field in its absolute entirety. It is the purpose of the writer, in future articles, to bring to our readers knowledge of individual athletes and their records, also the work of the Southern colleges and athletic clubs throughout the country. We shall also make mention of some of our people who have been prominent in the fostering and development of Negro athletics and of the very liberal encouragement given by the amateur athletic union of the United States.—Charles P. Howard, Des Moines, Iowa. WESTERN RAMBLES Editor Bystander: Again I have come to the point in my rambling to let you hear from me. I took a swing from Des Moines on the 10 of this month and found myself in Maryville, Mo. I have not rambled that way since I have been on the field and I was delighted to receive an invitation by Rev. Jessie R. Young the pastor of the Second Baptist church. Arrangements had been made for my coming but the threatening rain, as usual, hindered us from having the crowd the pastor had expected. Those present seemed to have enjoyed my lecture to the highest and urged upon me to return as soon as possible. I had only one hour to talk, of course, I had to hurry. I don't think I ever said so much in so short a time. Rev. Young though a young man, seems to be succeeding there where older preachers have failed. He is making a oodood pun qupam qupa qupa qupa. The people seem to love him. On the 13 I had wandered in Galesburg to be with Rev. W. B. M. Scott. On my previous visits to that church I stopped with the Rev. Scott but this visit I the pleasant of stopping with Rev. and Mr. Scott. My job is that daughter of our late Dr. T. L. Smith He was well known throughout the states of Illinois, Missouri and Iowa. Sunday afternoon I lectured at the Second Baptist church, subject, "The Power of Knowledge." The message was received with enthusiasm. Again at the evening service I spoke from the subject, "Leave a Light in Your Window." Both messages were received with gladness. This was the first time I had a real opportunity to present our claims. Previous visits were during the week, but here the work of the convention is known because Rev. Scott is interested in every phase of the denominational work and too Mrs. Susie Hazel has been with the convention for these seventeen years and if I a mightly informed, all these years she has been defraying her own expenses. Not only that, but for five weeks Rev. Scott has been attending the different meetings of the denomination at his own expense with the exception of the association; and most of the time bear his expenses too then. He is an untiring worker. He has THE BYSTANDER INFLUENZA starts with a Cold Kill the Cold.

No man could have done the great work he has in Galesburg unless God were with him, Some of his strongest opposers in building the new church, which is a credit to the denomination and the community were members of the church. It took a Moses to lead the children of Israel from bondage, it took a Lincoln to emmancipate the American slave and it took a Scott to build a church for the Baptists in the city of Galesburg. The Sunday school is doing nicely under Sister Baker. The Baptist Young People's Union is doing nicely under the leadership of Miss _____ who has been trained under Rev. Scott. The young men and women of the church have been given a chance since Rev. Scott has been pastoring there. This is what we need, some one to take an interest in the young men and women of our church, give them a chance put them to work, encourage them and the results will be as bread cast upon the water. Collection good for the number present. Monday morning 15, I started on another ramble and came to Kewannee, a very industrial center. It is said it is the best industrial city on the Burlington. On my arrival in Kewannee, I found that a strike had been called and three thousand men walked out of the industrial plants, among them were some of our people. Rev. C. Lindall, the pastor had arranged for my entertainment. Announcement had been made and every one of the members was awaiting my coming. In the meantime a dance had been arranged at one o'f the city halls. It does seem that Satan knows when to have things arranged to detract. We did what was out of our interest to those present. The amount of interest put in the meeting by the pastor gave inspiration to those present. The dance had its effect upon the congregation, yet we can say the people gave freely. I had to promise them to visit them at an early date. I left Kewannee Tuesday morning, for Peoria. Here I was billed to be with Rev. F. W. Penick, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church. This church has made a wonderful progress since Rev. Penick took charge. At first it seemed that some of the members did not understand the pastor, thereby causing a friction, but since finding him to be a man possessing the necessary qualities and qualifications as a pastor and leader they have fallen in line and the results point strongly to Mt. Zion Baptist church in the front ranks with the leading Baptist churches of Illinois. After all the thing most needed is an understanding between individuals and among the members of our church. When we shall have learned to value the opinions of others as well as our own in a business way there will be more harmony in our ranks. St. Paul Baptist church was in a revival, hence I did not get to speak there, but the pastor had his church to donate something to the work which will appear in our report. The pastor Rev. Wm. Hayes was confined to his bed not able to be at his services, though the meeting was being conducted by Rev. Skellton, Rev. Hayes has done a wonderful work among the people of Peoria. I will close here after this evening and will start on another ramble for the city of Hannibal, Mo. OSCEOLA ITEMS The pastor preached at Osecola Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. to a large congregation.

We are expecting every church in Clark county to be represented. St. Paul A. M. E. church will be present when we speak of the uplift for God and the race. The pastor always on hand to take the part for his church when we come to advance God's kingdom we can see so much can be done in Clark county in going over my circuit from Garden Grove, Iowa, Chariton and Osceola I find all the pleasure for the world, no place in some of the towns for the house of God. It is time the Christian people should wake up to the reality of what is happening interpretate what Christ meant by saying "Go into all the world and preach my gospel to every creature. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Jackson, formerly of this city now of Wichita, Kansas was called here on account of business after spending a few days with his mother and father-in-law departed for their home but will return to the city in time for the May term of court. Atty, Spear, a well known colored lawyer of Witchia, Kansas arrived in the city Monday evening to look after court business returned to his home Tuesday night.

One often hears the expression, "My child is sick, I give cold which developed into diphtheria," when the truth was that the cold had simply left the little one particularly susceptible to the wandering diphtheria germ. If your child has a cold when diphtheria is prevalent you should take him out of school and keep him off the street until fully recovered, as there is a hundred times more danger of his taking diphtheria when he has a cold. When Chamberlain's Coup is given, the sickly child is given the cold and lessens the danger of diphtheria or any other germ disease being contracted.

The delegates, who have been attending the city council of mothers at the city library are also asked to report and discuss the programmes given at these monthly meetings during the school year. The fundamental principles of this association have been to try and close the gap between home and school and to raise the status of the home itself, by awakening the fathers and mothers to a sense of their educational responsibilities. We have made many calls in many homes with results that have been positive. The study of the child, the respect for the individuality of the home.

How Diphtheria is Contracted. One often hears the expression, "My child caught a severe cold which developed into diphtheria," when the truth was that the cold had simply left the little one particularly susceptible to the wandering diphtheria germ. If your child has a cold when it is prevalent and could take him out of the room and keep him off the street until fully recovered, as there is a hundred times more danger of his taking diphtheria when he has a cold. When Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given it quickly cures the cold and lessens the danger of diphtheria or any other germ disease being contracted.

DU BOIS ASSOCIATION The Du Bois association will hold its bimonthly meeting, Wednesday April 7 at 2:30 p. m. at Franklin school community center. The delegates, who have been attending the city council of mothers at the city library are also asked to report and discuss the programmes and monthly meetings during the school year. The fundamental principles of this association have been to try and close the gap between home and school and to raise the status of the home itself, by awakening the fathers and mothers to a sense of their educational responsibilities. We have made many calls in many home and school have been announced highly successful. The study of the child, the respect for the individuality of the home. The acquaintance of Jane's and John's teacher is a practical contribution to home and community betterment. Schools have been visited, conferences held with the principles, leading colored magazines and periodicals sent to schools and homes, thereby creating a common standing ground for interracial co-operation. Mrs. Z. C. Thornburg and Mrs. Edwar Paul Jones have encouraged and assisted the project from the very beginning, and the project has become the foundation of nation, "Boys and Their Problems," will be the interesting lesson for Wednesday afternoon, the questions to be discussed are as follows: Is a work bench in the barn or basement used for the project? In a paper route value in more ways an economic sense? Is earning while learning an idle phrase? How much money ought a boy to spend? How understand the "gang spirit?" How keep father and son chummy? How live in this community getting an education? How eradicate the idea "I must go out for pleasure?" Does the home offer plenty of games, books, music and sociability to offset the corner drug store? How become acquainted with his pals? How brand upon him that honorable defeat is far finer than dishonorable victory? How brand upon him that a lie is deeply dishonoring that cigarette smoking is harmful physically and morally and has become one of the greatest evils of the age? JOHN L. T.
