People Of The Trustee Board of Iowa Federation Home The trustee board of the Iowa federation home held a special meeting Monday afternoon upon the call of Mrs. Helena Downey, chairman who presided over the course of the work of the board beginning July, 1919 and ending May, 1920 showed money having been collected amounting to $2,047.50.

At the state meeting in May nine trustees were elected every year, the Twenty 2 years, Mesdames Jessie E. Walker, Jennie Johnson and George C. Young, 1 year, Mesdames Helena Downey, Jessie E. McClain and Elnora Gresham. Practically all clubs responded to the urging of the chairman to subscribe to the home fund the money to be raised upon conditions favorable to the individual club, but positivity of the meeting has so solicited for this fund but the above named trustees. Clubs and friends have been generous, the board and the federation heartily command them but pleads with all to extend their assistance at this crucial point by renewing subscriptions, increasing donations, etc., thus the board to meet the next payment of the trustees 1920. For when this work shall have been accomplished neither the trustees the federation, nor the individual club should alone receive credit therefore, but the home should stand as a monument to the interest, generosity, progressiveness and substantial consideration of their own of the Negroes of Iowa. Again, urge that all people with unpaid accounts, meet your obligation at once. Clubs paying their full subscription to date are the Mary B. Talbert, $15; and the Intellectual Improvement, $10 both of Des Moines.

BOSTON THE NEXT MEETING PLACE (By Charles A. Starks.) Hello Bill! Hello Bill! was the real spirit that characterized the convention week of the Elks. From heenforce now and forever Kansas City must go down, at least in the minds of the visitors, as one of the greatest host towns on the map. Everyone seemed to be inoculated with the gavety of the occasion. The days were bright, the clouds were dark, and the conspicuous by their absence, the whole week passed in a train of glorious fun mid a veritable riot of music. As early as Friday there was a noticeable influx of visitors. The local sections of Elkdom were highly primed for the occasion, the boys looked good, acted better, they were apparently all that could be required of progressive hosts to their teams and the public. As to the delegations arrived each were received with due cordiality, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, Birmingham and others from Minnesota and elsewhere sent their Elks here for the grand celebration. Great interest was shown in most of these particularly for the accompanying bands they brought. The sessions proper of the convention were all that was hoped for, the affair attracting the big men of the order through the country to the call of the Elks. Perhaps one of the distinctive features that the visitor will remember is the big carnival. Also, if the visitors had an eye for topography they probably were struck with the strikingly beautiful location of the show. I, the great exhibition of colored people. Talk about your black belts, here's one. And think of it, the Paseo, part of a grand boulevard system, with votaries touching a larger portion of the city, splits this long black belt into halves, so that our people, being in closest proximity, have a perpetual joy of trees and airy grounds, green expanses of airy grounds, racing course and other public utilities. Here, mid these happy surroundings, in this joyous atmosphere the Elks were highly entertained. Greatest of All Parades. In several noted features the parade of Tuesday was the greatest demonstration we have witnessed in these parts. Aside from the extraordinary length the parade was remarkable by the smacky uniforms worn by the marchers. If they were anything more remarkable than these, they were the rem themselves. All the favorable types of the race were represented. In the musically intense moments some of the more demonstrative marchers executed some indicous steps. The Drum majors vied with one another in their gyrations in the populating their directing stick. The Gentlemen from St. Louis is herewith extended the parade for out gyrating all the other marchers. Another big feature of the parade was the spectators themselves. Kansas City was out for a gala day and it was so Thousands and thousands stood along the line of march. The complexion of the crowd naturally - changed when the parade got to the down town district. The absence of success and contempt is probably indicative of some progress in the emulation of others. As per school records the parade ended at the Pascow, after having passed the reviewing stand of city officials. The day was climaxed by the Grand Ball at Convention Hall. This affair drew big. Society here was at its best. Opportunity for terpsichorean indulgence was offered. The offer was accepted by possibly countless people. Dame Pascow was brilliantly exploited this night by the many typed and well-trained women, who danced and entertained. Some of the ladies were notably gowned because of the georgeousness of their apparel, others were notably gowned because of the timelessness of their apparel. All, however, looked clever with variations in uniforms along with an occasional 'evening dress.' The music was furnished by the famous 'Eighth Illinois band,' who produced some spicy inspirations. Abendzeit. Ever since, dynasties have existed there are records of kings having abdicated from one cause and another. Far back in the ninth past one monarch gave up his throne because he was "wearied with dominion;" another tired out of preference for the freedom of private life; a third laid down because his aphemes failed; still another abdicated in a fit of malancholy; and there are two instances in which kings left their thrones because they were unable to cope with external stress.

E. S., Daughters of Isis, Heroines of the Templar Guilds and Administrative Department of O. E. S. held at Cincinnati last week, have passed into history and when the history of this the greatest Masonic gathering ever held in America among the members of any race is written it will disclose the fact that present and former residents of Iowa with a Negro population of less than 10 percent have attended conferences a more prominent part than those of any other one state regardless of the size of its Negro population. To begin with there was the International Conference of Present and Past Grand Masters and Grand Secretaries representing theodge headquarters of the various state in the Union and also from Ontario, Canada and it was presided over by Past Grand Master, John L.

Women's Federation Proceedngs Officers Elected—Next Convention Will Be Held at Carbondale. (By Elvie L. Stewart.) Galesburg, Illinois, August 27, 1920.—"Leaning on the Everlasting Arm" was the song that marked the opening of the second day's session of the Illinois Federation of Colored Women's clubs which has brought to Galesburg over two hundred women from all parts of the state. Devotions were led by the noted evangelist, Mrs. Nora Fields Taylor of Chicago. Mrs. Taylor is stained the sweet singer of the federation. Mrs. Elenora H. Gresham, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, president of the Iowa Federation was introduced to the body and made a notable address. Following this, a lesson in parliamentary usage was given by the parliamentarian, Mrs. Carrie Lee Hamilton of Mounds who is one of the past presidents of the federation and a member of the advisory board. This lesson was very interesting and showed many of the women to be well versed in this branch of laws governing all legislative bodies. The committee on art and crafts called attention to an exhibit of art displayed in this meeting, property of Leon Leonard, a resident of Galesburg and at present a student in the Art Institute of Chicago. This exhibition is a very creditable one and predicts that Cedar Rapids Notes (Miss Queene Boone).

DURR.....Circulation and Advertising CHAS. M. SHED.....Secretary and Treasurer EDITORIALS TO TAKE CHANGES The Negro might well look over the candidates that have been nominated by the two leading political parties and determine who in all fairness should receive his vote. As between nominees republican and democrat, Harding for president and Coolidge for vice president are head and shoulders above Cox and Roosevelt—don't confuse the latter with the late Colonel Theodore or his son. Then in Iowa we have Hon. N. E. Kendall of Albia, republican, and Hon. Clyde L. Herring of Des Moines, democrat heading their respective tickets for governor. In choosing candidates for whom he votes the Negro must not only determine whether this or that candidate will administer the laws of the state properly but also what's his attitude toward "us" and what influence will he have in the party as a whole. There are few people in Iowa who do not know Mr. Kendall for as an orator of marked ability he has been heard far and near. His record as a member of the Iowa legislature, as speaker of the house and congressman from his district has been clean. He is aligned with those who offer the best advantages to the Negro race. Mr. Herring has not been in politics heretofore. His career has been confined strictly to business activities. In that capacity he has been fair to Negroes. But the unfortunate side of Mr. Herring's case lies in the fact that he is aligned with a party which exists on the doctrine of oppression of the Negro race and is kept alive by men of the type of Hoke Smith and Albert Burleson and Woodrow Wilson. This alone disqualifies Mr. Herring. Further should Mr. Herring be elected and should a United States senator die during his term it would be up to him to appoint someone to serve until the next general election. A democrat would naturally be chosen. When a senator or congressman goes to Washington he is shut up with his party, political suicide follows if he refuses. Consequently Mr. Herring's appointee would find himself voting with the same Hoke Smith whose vote is always registered against the Negro. This is what Ham Lives of Chicago and other democrats did in days gone by. These times are too serious. We cannot and must not trust a man linked with such a party no matter how well we should like to. ST. PAUL A M. E. CHURCH (Rex. S. L. Bijtj, pastor.) The third Sunday in August witnessed one of the most unique meetings at St. Paul in the history of the church. All the colored congregations with their pastors and choirs met and conducted a service in testimonial to Dr. Birt's five year's service in this church and city. Rev. S. Bates, Maple street Baptist church was master of ceremonies. Dr. G. W. Robinson and his wonderful choir thrilled the great congregation. The Maple street choir put glory into the meeting; Union Congregational church sounded the depts; and Kyles A. M. E. Zion pastor thrilled the congregation; Bethel A. M. E. church with pastor and officers brought felicitations. It was altogether a happy affair. Contributions Corinthian, $20; Union Congregational, $8; Maple street Baptist, $11; Bethel and Kyles chapel, $10. Pastor Birt takes this method of expressing his deep sense of gratitude to the brethren, choirs and congregations and of all the kindnesses rendered to him in Des Moines. This one will stand out in his memory in bold relief. The S. L. Birt club entertained at breakfast at Union park on the 20th honoring Mrs. Birt's birthday anniversary. The breakfast was cooked in the log cabin on the park grounds. Twenty-two persons sat down to the breakfast viands. Mrs. Dora McGuire used the switches on the honored guest. A merry time was enjoyed. Every seat was taken at the Junior and Senior league last Sunday evening. The topic was well discussed, the music inspiring. All invited. Mother's meeting Sunday at 5 p.m. True significance of education will be discussed. The lawn social at Mrs, John Mayweather's was a fine affair. Rev. S. L. Birt attended the funeral of Rev. S. B. Moore at Davenport and Galesburg, Ill., last Friday and Saturday. St. Paul's congregation bowed in grief over the passing of Rev. Moore. He was well beloved as presiding elder.

This new Masonic Order was the curiosity of all jurisdictions where it did not exist and was compelled to devote much of its time to the conferring of the degree upon prominent Knight Templar and their female relatives who were in attendance and desired to carry the work back home with them. In this manner the degree was conferred upon sixty-five persons including Past Grand Matron Euth B.

SUNDAY SCHOOL NOTES Aug. 29 was bright and clear, and all humanity as well as all nature seemed serene, and to the writers' mind, just such a day as upon which we might expect the descension of the coming Prince of Peace. The atatendance was fair, but we ought to have an average attendance of two hundred and fifty pupils throughout the year. We were much encouraged on the 22nd as we launched our rally for equipment. When William Brown who is a member of one of the intermediate classes, taught by Mrs. A. M. Morris filled his card immediately and turned it in before we dismised, showing in a tangible way what he thinks about the Sunday school. William has evidently learned that actions speak louder than words, we have many excellent boys and girls in our school, of whom we are proud and without whom we would scarcely know what to do. Keep in mind the closing day of the rally, Sept. 12. On the third Sunday in September we will observe promotion day. On this day any child may be promoted on recommendation of their teacher. We are exceedingly proud of our normal department, which is serving the exact purpose for which the course was instituted, that of training men and women for Sunday school work; having passed this way doesn't mean that you know all about the Bible, and child training, etc., but if you have paid strict attention it does mean you have the rudiments of the above named studies and are capable of teaching them to some extend and studying them intelligently. This department has meant much to our school in the past ten years, in shaping up teachers for us the credit for which is chiefly due to the uniting efforts of our present teach. Attorney Brown. Lesson X, The Building of the Temple, I Kings 8:1-11. Golden text, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all people Isaiah 56:7. Opening bell—1:30. Teachers meet every Friday evening from 7:30 to 8:30. Difficult Achievement. "My young friends," said a member of the board of trustees, who was addressing the school, "let me urge upon you the necessity of not only reading good books, but also of owning them, so that you may have access to them at all times. Why, when I was a young man I used frequently to work all night to earn money to buy books and then got up before daylight and read them." Where We Are. A clergyman, in musing on our common morality, gave vent to his feelings in this remarkable apathegm: "We're here today and away tomorrow." Christian Herdite. Particular People 1930 AGENTS Mrs. E. F.
