CHAPTER II.
As related in our last chapter, amid the enthusiastic goodbyes of a large number of the representative citizens, men and women of Memphis our "special" left at 8:45 p. m., for our next stop—Birmingham, Ala., where after an uneventful run, we arrived at 7:00 a. m. Sunday morning and were met by a large delegation of the leading business and professional men of that city and escorted to the Elk's Rest, a beautiful and commodious hall on one of the principal thoroughfares of that city. Birmingham has been termed, "The Chicago of the South," and to an outside observer it lives up to its name. The Colored people are very progressive and they have some splendid business institutions that reflect credit on the race. We were particularly pleased to notice the seemingly splendid and cordial relations that exist between white and colored people of that city and large corporations there who employ thousands of our people seem to be putting forth unusual effort to retain the confidence of their employees and make them satisfied with their employment. It is here the great Tennessee Coal and Iron Corporation is doing remarkable work for the betterment of the social, moral, and intellectual development of their employees of which we shall speak later.
After being escorted to the Elks Club where a delightful breakfast was served, we were allowed an hour or two for our correspondence and to become acquainted with those of the receiving party, after which the members of the delegation were taken to various churches over the city where quite a number were called upon to remark. A larger part of the delegation attended the 16th Street Baptist Church of which that brilliant and popular pulpteer, Dr. A. C. Williams, is pastor, and heard a very able sermon by an evangelist of New York who was conducting a series of meetings for Dr. Williams. The Editor being an old friend of the pastor was called upon for a few remarks; also Drs. J. W. Hurse and C. C. Callaway took part in the preliminary services, Dr. Hurse filling the pulpit at this historic Church at the night services. In the afternoon the delegation was the guest of the Elks at their annual memorial services and witnessed one of the most beautiful parades we have ever seen participated in by more than 1100 uniformed Elks headed by a splendid band of high school boys. By the way a large delegation of Elks will be in Kansas City at their National Encampment in July and we have no hesitancy in saying that the delegation that excels them will in the vernacular have "to go some." At this service remarks were made by Dr. D. M. Miller, Dr. E. B. Ramsey, Dr. S. H. Thompson and Mr. T. B. Watkins all of whom are members of the fraternity.
On Monday at 9:00 A. M. a tour of inspection of business houses was made including the famous Pythian Temple, then a tour of fifty miles in automobiles was taken through the Blue Ridge mountains and the beautiful properties of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co. There was a distinct revelation in this great tour. The men were able to see the new conditions of labor standard brought about by a change in sentiment and the migration to the North of so many hundreds of thousands of Negroes. It has been very wisely observed that, in any event, it is necessary to bring about better living and educational conditions if it is hoped to retain in the South a sufficient number of Negroes to perform the necessary labor, skilled and unskilled to maintain the commercial prestige of the section. It is a difficult job, at least, in face of certain conditions known to exist, but the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company has made a wonderful step in advance, which is certain

This Company has provided villages with model homes, schools, churches and places of recreation, where the laborers with their families live amid surroundings unsurpassed anywhere in the land. These villages of Eligwater, Bayview and others are truly astounding steps in advance, where seemingly money has no object in carrying out complete plans, and where there is a spirit of cooperation between employer and employee, between white and black that means much both at present and for the future. The magnificent $1,000,000 hospital should be visited by every physician in America. It would require much space to fully describe that institution alone.
At Bayview we were served an old fashioned Southern Barbecue by the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company in which, strange to say, we were wait-

AN APPRECIATION.
I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to the many friends and acquaintances who refused to believe me guilty of the offense charged against me in the Federal Court of this City and for the many kind expressions extended me during the days of my trial. I further wish to state that the statement which was printed in the daily papers that the girl making charges against me was not called on the witness stand is untrue as she was called to the witness stand on both of the two days during the trial and did testify against me. I am pleased to state that I have proven to my friends that I was innocent of the offense and wrong.

OIL MEN ACCOMPANIED BY THEIR WIVES VISIT WELLS.
Mr. J. J. Allen, President of World Wonder Oil and Gas Co., Mrs. J. J. Allen, his wife, Mr. Samuel R. Hopkins, President of the Square Deal Oil and Gas Co., and Mrs. Samuel R. Hopkins, his wife, had a delightful trip to the famous Allen County Kansas Oil fields. Having secured drawing rooms on the "Oil Special" they arrived safely in Humbolt, Kas., Monday morning.
They were met at the train by Mr. Warren Stoval and driven to his residence where a delightful breakfast was served. Mr. Stoval is the field manager for the two Oil Companies. After breakfast they motored to the Oil Fields. The two companies have four producing wells and it was a wonderful sight when they reached the oil field and saw the oil flowing from their own oil wells into the great tanks, it was an unusual sight, all the wells are on the pump and making an excellent snowing.
Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Hopkins also had the honor of seeing the "spud in" of well No. 5. Both companies are paying handsome dividends and nothing but great success is in store for both companies. While in Humboldt Mr. Allen and Mr. Hopkins were both offered enormous sums of money for their holdings; they both refused. They are completing the drilling of six wells and are going to continue

NEGRO TOURISTS VISIT SOUTH
(By Associated Negro Press.)
Nashville, Tenn., May 5—The "Kansas City Special" carrying the "live wires of progress" from city to city, where epoch making events mark new milestones in the march of success visited Tuskegee Institute for two days and more. What transpired in that wonderful center makes a story complete in itself, for every minute from the time the Special reached the grounds, amid the welcoming music of the Institute, military band, until the same band played "Till We Meet Again." was crowded with history.
The Special arrived in Nashville Sunday morning and was met at the station with automobiles by the local committee composed of the President, W. J. Hale, Dr. Henry Allen Boyd, Dr. C. V. Roman, J. C. Napier, Ira T. Bryant, Dr. J. H. Hale, A. N. Johnson and others. Sunday as in Birmingham, the party divided into groups, and visited the local churches where they were cordially introduced and delivered brief addresses making the welkin ring with the story of group activity throughout the nation.
The big event of the Nashville visit occurred at the State Agricultural and Normal Institute, a most beautiful and successful institution only a few years old. There, in the midst of the splendid student body, faculty, citizens of Nashville, and the entire Kansas City party, Governor Alexander H. Roberts of Tennessee, delivered an inspired message that will forever mark the turning point of the new South's determination to be counted with certainty in the world justice and human brotherhood. There is no mistaking the sincerity of purpose of Governor Roberts, he is an American of unquestioned loyalty, a white man whose conscience is quickened by the responsibilities and duties of the present day, an executive who thoroughly feels the weight of his office as it applies to all the people of the commonwealth. "without regard to race, creed or color," as he himself said.
"There is one plane above all others," said Governor Roberts, "on which there rests the solution of all difficulties; it is not new, and it is simple, but it affords the only solution, and that is the plane of justice."
"This justice," he continued with an earnestness and sincerity that could not be questioned by the most skeptical, "applies to all men without regard to race or creed. There is no such thing as one justice for one group and another justice for another. Those looking for right do not look for color.
"The Colored race should have its own leaders, and at all times, in every avenue of life, needs honest, educated, high class, dependable leadership, who will receive the hearty co-operation and good will of the white people. It is only through leadership of this kind that the great opportunities can be worked out, and the goal of success reached in educational, industrial and religious and political life."
Governor Roberts then called attention to the need of such leadership and unity of action in a concrete way. He stated that there was about to be sent to the electric chair, a Negro whom he had once reprieved, and whose real guilt was somewhat questioned, but that he was unable to review the case, because the man had been assigned inadequate legal assistance, and he had been informed that "the evidence in the case had been lost."
"There must be," said Governor Roberts, "equality before the law, and that means absolute equality. The principle of the Golden Rule must apply everywhere. A quickened conscience will demand that these things be written into all laws.
"There will be peace when we have justice. As long as I am Governor of Tennessee, I will see people only as they are, and not as they profess to be; I will let nothing deter me from using every force at my command to uphold the constitution, and give to every person, no matter how humble, equal and exact justice."
Thus-spoke the Governor of Tennessee. He said much more that was just as good, and just as straight forward, and just as earnest. He did not mention politics. But the speaker who followed him did, "that speaker was Nelson C. Crews, the well-known, forceful, eloquent, successful editor

2313 Tracy Avenue Kansas City, Mo,
‘One of the most remarkable cases
of coincidence ever brought to notice
is remarked in the fact that Roy Le
MeCardell’s story of “The Evil Bye,”
playing at the Lincoln, Friday, May
13, in which the lMghtweight cham-
pion, Benny Leonard, has the star
hole, is absolutely identical with the
front page accounts in the daily news:
papers of the five million dollar bond
theft conspiracy in Wall street, which
are attracting the attention of the en
tire world.
Every detail of this gigantic plot
was anticipated in “The Evil Bye.”
Roy McCardell, in his story, tells of
every move made later by the gang
of criminals who had plotted to ob
tain millions by the holy-up method;
of the great “Master Mind” who dt
rected the gang’s daring operations;
and of the courageous messenger
whose pluck and quick wit served to
bring the band to griet and landed
them behind prison bars where they
now await trial,
That Roy MeCardel! should have sc
accurately foretold every maneuver o
the most powerful ring of criminals
ever banded together is little short
of uncanny. Sir Oliver Lodge and
|Dr. A. Conan Doyle may be very pro
‘ficient in communicating with the
spiritual world, but Roy McCardell’
wonderful forecast of events to tran
spire in his story of “The Evil Bye’
lifts him far beyond the realm o!
spiritualism and puts him on a pedes
tal in the supernatural class as being
the most wonderful prognosticator of
all times
Benny Leonard, who has the sta
role in “The Evil Bye,” that of the
messenger who thwarts every scheme
of the men higher up and the master
mind in their efforts to make the mos
colossal coup in the annals of crim
inology, will be first seen in “Belov
the Dead Line,” the first episode o
the “The Evil Eye.” to be presentet

Athlete: aid while ‘serving In France,
Was brought Incontact with many” of
Our bave who ‘made athletic history, and
‘of whieh he wl" speax in the Future.)
Our people are so widely scattered
‘over this country that one section
probably knows very little of the
achievements of the other. ‘Their ac-
tivities are as many and as varied as
any other class 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.
Since we are going to deal primar.
fiy with amateur athletics, we will
confine ourselves almost wholly to
those members of our race who have
atetnded Universities and Colleges
throughout the country, and who, from
their constant association with other
races, are creating a feeling of com:
radeship and better understanding.
‘The boys who are making these rec-
ords are confined to no particular sec-
tion of the country. Many of them
come from Southern schools and not
only make enviable records for them:
selves in competition, but return to
their Alma Mater and are equally suc-
cessful in the development of other
athletes. A recitation of the results
attained, sound more like fiction than
real life, The old adage, that you get
out of the game what you put in it, is
as true in athleties as In any other
line of endeavor,
Permit me to cite a few of the out-
standing features of the Negro athletes
achievement in the last few years:
‘An eminent sportswriter, in 1913
said, 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 Halt Mile Re
lay 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 the sprints, There
are many reasons for this, chief among
which are the facts, that the Negro
{is of a nervous and excitable temper
ament, requisites which are primarily
essential in a sprinter; also a less
rigorous and exacting course of train-
ing is necessary in this class of events
than in others, and finally, it was in
this class of events that Negroes first
made a success, and this inspired oth
ers to try the same, In fact all the
records in runnig races held by ow
people are confined to races not great
er 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 InterCollegiate or National
Meet in the country, and they hold not
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 Olymple
Championship. ‘This {s 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 Olym-
pie winners, However, in the Broad
Jump, and in winning it he came with.
in two inches of the World’s Record.
Heretofore we have dealt largely
with track athletes, but there are oth:
er branches of athletics in which the
Negro has proven his ability beyond a
doubt and has gained the highest
honors.
‘There 1s no branch of athletics that
commands the admiration of the pub-
lic more than football, ‘The highest
award possible is, to be placed on
Walte Camp's All-American Football
Team. Two Negroes have achieved
this distinction and at least a half
dozen others have been second and
third choices, and indication is, that
this number will constantly increase.
Then there is basketball which also
has a strong appeal for our people. As
yet there is no recognized authority
rating Colored basketball players with
those of the white, However, we have
had many representatives on the Col-
lege and University teams of the coun:
try who have been recognized as stars
on their respective teams, In addt-
tion to this we are represented by en-
tire teams in our Southern schools
by Athletic Clubs around New York,
Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Washing:
ton, 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 play:
ers of the, country have been official
ly rated. 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 rank-
ing very high, among which are Los
Angeles, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chi:
ago, Boston, Springfield, Muss, and

He is such a magnetic speaker aptly compared, a black Beecher and realizes the world values one and judges him by the services rendered. When he left Little Rock, Ark., he was so proud to get away without any trouble and feeling he had conquered him: Veni, Vide, Vice.
The Father and Son Banquet, held at the First Baptist Church, under the auspices of the Ladies Sewing Circle, was a success in every way. A very interesting address in behalf of the fathers was given by Judge I. F. Bradley. The Sons were represented by Lieutenant Sherman Scruggs. His address was both interesting and instructive. Prof. T. H. Reynolds conducted the musical part of the program. After the program everyone was served. Prof. J. J. Lewis, Master of Ceremonies. Mrs. Edith Edmonds, President of the Sewing Circle, deserves much praise for her untiring efforts to increase the building fund.
The Citizens' Forum celebrated the Sixth Anniversary of the exchange of programs between Kansas City and Lawrence. Fifty-four or more left via the interurban and were met at the station in Lawrence by the Chairman of Executive Committee and others. When the delegation reached the church nearly every seat available, except those reserved for our party, were taken for the people were out en masse. Every number on the program was present and well rendered. The address by Prof. G. B. Buster. The changing Order was deep and instructive. He stated that there was a movement absolutely necessary to free men's souls from despotism of wealth as the Renaissance freed men's souls from the despotism of ignorance and the French Revolution the despotism of King. As a solution of this great universal movement, some thing beyond bare necessity cooperation, he suggested that kind brought about first by education and secondly by religion and closed by saying social revolution will free the world of the despotism of wealth. Mrs. Felix Payne's so pleased and charmed her earers that an encore was demanded. As is the custom to have the visiting Forum President preside, Lawyer Guy Booker took charge of the entire program and at the close of the program the Chairman of Lawrence Executive Committee requested the visitors to all stand and be led to the Reception room of the church by the chairman of the Citizens' Forum, Mrs. H. G. Dwiggins and Rev. T. D. Lee, where each received a spray of ferns and sweet peas and a refreshing repast was tendered all. The whole affair was a success from start to finish.
The demonstration made by the K. of P.'s and Courts of Calanthe - N. A. S. A. E. A. A. & A., at their Annual Thanksgiving sermon Sunday, May 2, was a revelation to the general public of the strength of this powerful organization. More than 600 Sir Knights in parade formation marched to the First A. M. E. Church to the inspiring strains of military music furnished by the two crack bands of the organization, the First Regimental Band of Kansas and the 2nd Regimental Band of Missouri. The parade was led by Brigadier General Kennedy and his staff and Colonel Rife and his 2nd Regiment were the observed of all all observers.
It is indicative of the enthusiasm characteristic of this organization when a statement is made that the Uniform Rank Co. No. 1 of Wichita, was present with Captain R. R. Jones in command and by their fine and soldierly appearance contributed much to the greatest military pageant ever staged in this City by a fraternal order. On arriving at the church they were joined by over 200 Calantheans including a Calanthean Drill team from Kansas City, Mo., in white uniforms and fezes, which added a distinctive note to the already brilliant coloring of the assemblage.
While the church is perhaps the most commodious in the city its capacity was taxed to accommodate the assembled order and with the spectators was really overcrowded.
The excellent and well balanced choir of the First A. M. E. Church furnished appropriate and highly appreciated music for the occasion, under the superb direction of Madame L. Cunningham Summers. Among the distinguished visitors present were: Grand Chancellor, A. W. Lloyd of the State of Missouri. Those of Kansas, Mrs. E. K. Bowers, G. W. Inx, Wichita, Miss B. E. G. Garrett, G. R. of D. Leavenworth, Mrs. M. Drumgold, G. S. E. B. Arkansas City; Mrs. E. M. Roberts G. T. E. B., Mrs. Cora Jordan, G. W. Con, Leavenworth; Mrs. L. A. Wilson, G. W. O. Kansas City; Attorney F. L. Martin, C. Sol, Wichita; Mrs. Mamie Quick, G. Mother Matron of Missouri Jurisdiction and Mrs. Birch G. Escort.
Brief addresses were made by G. C. D. S. H. Thompson of Kansas; Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd of Missouri; G. W. C. W. Mrs. Norrene Davis and Mrs. Braken; Brigadier General Thomas H. Kennedy; Colonel Rife

Captain John R. Jones, Sir Alonzo Morgan C. C. of Golden Star Lodge No. 42 as Master of Ceremonies and Sister Maude Maryweather as W. C. of the day, discharged the duties of their offices with conspicuous ability. Sister Nettie Washington and Sir Ben Richardson filled the exacting stations of marshals of the day with more than ordinary credit. The sermon by Sir Rev. D. A. Holmes, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Temple, was a masterpiece of logic and homely philosophy, illuminated by frequent bursts of eloquence, so characteristic of this gifted pulitor orator. Incidentally it might be mentioned that the sum of $150.00 was laid upon the table.

Senator Spencer, of Missouri, introduced a bill creating a commission on the racial question. The commission is to be composed of three white men from the North, three colored men and three white men from the South. It is to be appointed by the President of the United States and is to be divided into three groups of three men to the group, two white and one colored, serving for one, two and three years. The commission shall have authority to inquire into and thoroughly investigate the conditions surrounding the Colored people in this country, and make an effort to ascertain the cause of unrest among them, and if there be racial friction, the cause of the same, and to suggest such remedial action as they may deem best calculated to relieve the situation and to bring about harmonious relations between white and Colored Americans. The bill was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The bill is a very good one, so far as it goes, but why have only three Colored men? Why not six Colored men from the various walks of life, and three white men? Or, better still, why not a commission of Negroes of nine to study and report upon conditions—the actual conditions under which the Negro now lives? No white man understands the Negro or the conditions under which the Negro lives as does the Negro himself. The commission of nine then could report to a special committee of the Senate, who could then pass upon its. (the Negro Commission's) findings. However, we thank Mr. Spencer for the introduction of his bill. May it become a law!

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, MAY 8. 1920
IN MEMORIAM
In sad and loving memory of our dear son, father and brother, Joseph Lacey, who passed away, one year ago, May 9, 919 at Leavenworth, Kas.
He is gone but not forgotten
Sad and sudden was his call
It was God who took him from us
And he was loved by us all.
Death has robbed us of our dear one
Whom we loved and cherished dear
He was taken without a warning
Can we help but shed a tear?
But God who dooth all things for the best,
Called him away to eternal rest.
Sadly missed by:
Mrs. E. B. Lacey, Mother,
Harry Lacey, Son.
Mrs. Matthew Williams,

THE ZACKERY RECITAL.
On last Monday evening aout five hundred of Kansas City's representative men and women listened very attentively and appreciatively to the splendid program rendered by one of Colorado's "song-birds" Madame Jessie Andrews Zackery in recital at the Junior High School, 11th and Locust streets under the auspices of the Clippers Club.
The most unusual feature about the program was the fact that there was but one other number on the program save Madame Zackery, this number being rendered by Prof. Clyde L. Glass who was also the accompanist for Madame Zackery.
Just how well this splendid singer was appreciated was demonstrated by the many beautiful bouquets of flowers which were sent up to her after each number.
The Clipper Club is to be congratulated upon for bringing such high class artists to furnish entertainment for the community.
The Matrons Round Table Club formerly known as the D. D.'s met with the Vice President, Mrs. Fredericka D. Perry Friday afternoon. April 28, from 1:00 to 5:00 p. m. Considerable time was spent discussing the Y. W. C. A. and the N. A. A. C. P. in which the members are greatly interested. A delightful four course luncheon was served after which the minutes of the last meeting were read and planned for a spring party for the inmates of the County Home were made. Mrs. Anna B. Smith will be in charge of the program. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Sallie Dibble Friday, May 28. Mrs. Dibble will introduce current events for discussion. Officers and members present as follows: Eva M. Fox, Pres., Fredericka D. Perry, vice Pres.; Anna B. Smith, Treas.; Rosabelle Jones, Secy.; Sallie Dibble, Sadie Mallory, Rosalind Shannon, Addie Bluford, Tom James, Edmonia H. Brown.

WILSON'S MISSILES.
By Ona B. Wilson.
3101 East 16th Street
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Wednesday afternoon accompanied by a lady friend we visited a patient at the City Hospital and there in the isolation ward we found a friend strapped to the bed with the obnoxious odor from the hog pen beneath the window, making our stay so miserable that we were forced to leave with a splitting headache after a very brief stay. It is to throw no reflection on the management that this article is written, but merely to say that the woman confined is an aunt of a business young woman near 18th street who claims that each week she tips the different nurses from seven to eight dollars. The woman confined has more than seven hundred dollars in the bank. Sick benefits whose checks are sent to the hospital then to the niece. I am sure some one would be willing to see after aunt, some institution open their doors to her that she may spend her last days in fresh, pure air and wholesome food.

The Sun last week was the recipient of the 1920 Year Book of Swift & Co., a picturesque booklet of 64 pages. Of its interesting topics not the least was the address of President Louis F. Swift to the stock holders.
Only four corporations outnumber this in stockholders to-wit: U. S. Steel Corporation, American Telephone & Telegraph Co., Pennsylvania Railroad, Santa Fe Railroad. Of the 35,000 share holders of Swift & Co., over 10,000 are employees and under the 1919 Employees Stock Savings Plan more than 13,000 other employees have subscribed for shares. Total sales were over $1,200,000,000 and net earnings for the year $13,870,181.34.
President Swift is hopeful of the decline of H. C. L, and gives his opinion as to H. C. L, as the public's ex travagance: "When the public economizes in purchasing then prices will decline and not before." During the fiscal year Swift & Co., handled nearly 16,000,000 animals. He discusses the rise and fall of prices carefully for five years and shows an average in beef prices in New York, Philadelphia, Washington and Chicago for 1915 at 11.42 to 1919 at 18.97.
The segregation of Tanneries and side lines is announced and the hope is expressed that the agreement with Attorney General Palmer will stem adverse legislation 68 per cent of the 8,500 employees that were called to arms returned to find their positions awaiting them. For one year after the declaration of peace the arrangement made with the President's peace commission, whereby matters of wages and differences, which cannot be mutually adjusted are referred to Judge Alschuler will continue. Such a corporation is a benefit to mankind. It supplies the most sanitay and toothsome food at only a quarter of a cent profit per pound.
"EVERYWOMAN"
By Prof. W. H. Harrison of Attucks School.
"Everywoman" presented by the Dubois Dramatic Club was well worthy of the effort. It was clean, inspiring and elevating. While the performers might be classed as amateurs in this line of work, yet the earnestness and the brilliance with which each played his part would be a credit to the most seasoned actor or actress. It simply proves the fact that our race can and will ultimately become important factors in all lines of activity. I believe that after our girls and our boys have seen this play rendered by our own artists and if the forces in the community that stand for good will emphasize the great lesson drawn from "Everywoman" the community is far better by having seen it. We feel indebted to all of the participants. They were all good. Let's have it again.
HIGHLAND AVENUE BAPTIST
CHURCH.
The services were attended by appreciative and responsive audiences last Sunday. There were three additions to the church... At 11:30 the pastor delivered a wonderful sermon, choosing for a text, "Be Strong and of a Good Courage"... At 1:30 Sunday school was well attended... At 3:00 P. M. Rev. Johnson delivered a good sermon... The 6:30 B. Y. P. U. was good and well attended... At 8:00 P. M. Rev. Hopkins delivered a wonderful sermon, after which the Clubs reported for their four weeks' work... We thank the different pastors for their help during the week.

—That conceit is half pretension and one half—more pretension.
—That the humble potato nowadays rules as the MIGHTY SPUD.
—That great will the artist be who will paint a picture of the fellow who "could but didn't."
—That in some countries a man and his wife may travel for one fare and a half. Suppose the half fare is for the husband.
—That there is just enough difference between celebrity and notoriety to make one hesitate before aspiring to the possession of either.
—That that spring is here and the sun is shining on both sides of the street, a lot of the fellows don't want anything to eat, but plenty of gasoline to burn.
—That lynching as a sport appears to be a joke only to the fellows standing around the other fellow dangling at the end of a rope or bound to the burning stake.
—That the following poem has been dedicated to the missing dollar bird in whom all of our friends are interested:
"Here's to the missing dollar bird.
Who causes grief wherever he's heard
The moment he shakes his sinister tail,
Pleas for help congest the mail.
Bankers despair and brokers fall
Light grows the working man's dinner pail;
her bail;
Prisoners cannot get out on bail
Oh, troubles come in a regular gale
When the Missing dollar bird wags
his tail.

Every dollar received from the sale of our oil is to go into the "DIVIDEND FUND." Every dollar received from the sale of our stock is to be used for developing our leases.
The Square Deal Oil and Gas Company is controlled and managed exclusively by competent and successful Negro business men—men who have studied and know the oil business—men who act rather than talk—men who know no such word as fail.

has collected a large number of very valuable pearls which his men have taken from the sea and with which he hopes to buy back from Rankin the freedom of his tribe.

WHAT THE SUCCESS OF THE SQUARE DEAL OIL AND GAS COMPANY MEANS TO THE NEGRO OF THIS COUNTRY.
Since this company has succeeded in bringing in real oil wells, with a good production of oil, and since it is paying a 10 per cent dividend, it marks a new epoch in the financial history of the Negro in this country. It proves to the world that the Black Man is fully able to finance and operate big business enterprises the same as anyone else.
We have a very limited amount of stock now selling at $3.00 per share. In order to raise money to continue the development of our already proven and very valuable oil leases that our company might pay its stockholders larger dividends, we are now disposing of a special allotment of Square Deal stock at this very low price.
We feel that it is your duty, and the duty of every race-loving Negro to

all over the world, but while she is about to tell her story to young Tom Carewe, she sees Trent watching her, she drops the pearls into Tom's hand, tells him to keep them for her and flees with Trent following. After a thrilling chase through the streets of New York she eludes her pursuers and that night at the Carewe country home, Tom brings to dinner Michael Casserly, who poses as a friend of Lord Vincent, an associate of the elder Carewe. Casserly becomes the house guest of the Carewes.
While they are at dinner, Tom Carewe shows his father the pearls Jane gave him. Just as he is about to tell what happened, Trent who is in league with Casserly and has entered the house, puts out the lights in the dining room and grabs the pearls. As he is about to escape he is confronted by Jane and Anoto, who are just entering the house, Jane gets the pearls and Trent escapes.
With Anoto she is taken to the dining room where she tells the story of Rankin, the captive tribe, and the ransom money she hopes to obtain by the sale of the pearls. The elder Carewe locks the pearls in the safe and plans are made to send Tom to Constantinople, where one of Carewe's clients has asked for a set of pearls. During the night Trent misses Casserly in the Carewe house and they take the pearls from the safe, after having knocked Anoto unconscious. Jane, who has been asked to spend the night with the Carewe family, hears the noise and rushes downstairs but is thrown to the floor by Trent. Then Tom enters and engages Trent in a fight. Casserly hiding behind the curtains at the time, Tom takes the pearls from Trent but before he can restore them the unseen Casserly holds a revolver to the back of his head as the first episode ends. Episode two will appear next Friday at the Lincoln Theatre and every Friday thereafter. Follow the story in the sun.

NEGRO TOURISTS TOUR SOUTH.

‘of the Kansas City Sun. Those who
‘have known Nelson Crews, for years
claim that in all of his masterful ut-
‘terances covering a period of many
‘yours, never had they ever heard him
wax so loquent, and express such pro:
found edicts. “But here is the high
point of his address:
“The time has come in the life of
the Negro when he must stand by
those whom he knows to be his
friends regardless of party affiliation.
Men like Governor Roberts are given
to but few generations. He is wor-
thy to be called in the galaxy with
John Brown, Charles Summer, Abra-
ham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and
Joseph B. Foraker, ho is a friend to
man and may God give him power,
and life and strength to do what he
knows to be right, let come what will,
jand he will not find us, asa race,”
weighed in the balance and found
wanting.”
In the moming at Nashville, the
various colleges, including Meharry,
Medical; Walden, Roger Williams,
Fisk were visited. A banquet was
spread at State Normal, where the
delicacies of the season were served
according the “latest edition of
Hoyle.” ‘The business enterpirses of
Nashville including the A, M, B, Sun-
day school Publishing “House, the
Baptist Publishing House, under the
mighty leadership of the Boyds, the
unique enterprises of Preston Taylor,
“from the cradle to the grave.” aprks,
ceemtery and coffin factory; the
banks, durg stores, residences, public
schools, all denote revelations of pro-
gress that prove to the world that the
Negro has arrived,
It is evident that the story must
be a continued one, Those who are
keeping up with the story of the
Kansas City tour, note that there
was a jump from Montgomery to
Nashville. In between there are
‘Tuskegee Institute, Atlanta and Chat

Each denomination has its own detailed budget, and
will administer its own funds. Your pastor has copies
of the budget: examine them for yourself. In the weekof
April 25th-May 2nd you will be given your opportunity
tohelp. You can do it with the full satisfaction of know-
ing that every dollar of your gift has its post assigned
to it in advance.
Every dollar for better America and a better world.
When your church calls on you give—and give with

MOST UNIQUE STRIKE
Red Faber made, perhaps, the
most unique strike ever seen on
the bowling alleys of the Chi-
cago Elks’ club. Faber rolls
with terrific speed, which ac
counted for the freak. He cut
the ball loose and it hit a lttle
to the left of the center pin,
leaving No. 8 standing. One of
the pins flew clear to the pit,
hit the wall, caromed off the
wooden side of the alley and
got the lone pin standing.
When the game finished the pin
boy remarked: “I'se sho’ glad
that big red-headed man ts done
finish, ‘cause if he ain't I ts.”
