WILL BOOST NEGRO BUSINESS (Special to Journal and Guide). Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Octo- 1—One of the most important for- ward-looking steps taken by the Exe- rive Committee of the National Negro Business League which met me at the Macy's Museum was the decision to inaugurate definite plans for directly assisting Negro merchants to increase their business and to extend their influence in the communities in which they operate. A number of plans were suggested and considered and considered the best and most effective order that the best and most effective plan might be adopted. "Trade Boosting Campaigns" similar to those recently conducted in Nashville, Tennessee, and Atlanta, Georgia, seem at this time to be the most effective way to help the colored business men in all parts of the country and it was unanimously decided by the officers of the National League to urge Local Negro Business League to change to conduct these campaigns in their communities. How It Worked In Atlanta. In November, 1915, a Trade Boosting Campaign was held in the city of Atlanta, Georgia, and the Negro merchant movement have expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the results. Some of the merchants realized as much as sixty per cent increase in their business as a result of co-operation. A representative of the National Negro Business League spent several days in Atlanta early in September and went over the whole matter very fully with the representative colored business men of that city. "The colored people of Atlanta have never had such an awakening of our campaign," said one business man. Another man who began on the corporate business for over ten years in Atlanta said: "One expérience which I had during our Trade Boosting Campaign was worth all the time and effort I put into it. A certain well-known colored man who had never been into my store before although he lived in the neighborhood and looked around and finally bought some high grade merchandise. During the time I was serving him, he kept on looking around at the stock of goods which I carried. Finally, he said, 'This campaign which the colored business men have on, induced me to come and see what you had. I must confess that I have never traded with a person of my own race because I had that colored business man first-class class and never taken the time to investigate before now. You may say for me that your campaign has converted at least one man of the race.' Other similar statements were made by other business men in other lines and the general impression among the business men of Atlanta is that these Trade Boosting Campaigns are splendid weapons for arousing pride of race and for educating our people to support race enterprises. Prixes Offered. The plan by which the Atlanta business men worked to arouse interest in their campaign is a good method to be used in any community and it is best described in the words of one of the leaders in this constructive movement. He says: "A group of Atlanta business men worked for aiding the people of Atlanta to the importance of supporting business enterprises owned and operated by colored men. Various plans were offered and finally some one suggested a ten days campaign in which the colored people would be urged to patronize their own stores. Coupons were to be given for each 25 cents cash purchase and for all sums of money spent. The business must have some value, so it was decided to give prizes for the persons having the most coupons at the end of the campaign. Our prizes were first class—including a lot in Mendow Brook, barrels of floud, hams, a sewing machine, s.liverware, dishes, etc. This made the people realize that we really meant business and they were encouraged and turned the money into the hands of the colored merchants." When asked how they got the prizes, our informant said, "Some of the prizes were donated by white business men and others were purchased. Every man who is in business in Atlanta was asked to participate and to contribute at least one dollar towards the expenses of the campaign. Some of them gave as much as $10.00 but most of them gave $1.00. Our conditions totaled nearly $250.00 and everyone had paid or a man helped pay everything we had and a balances of nearly $30.00 which is in our treasury now." To Armenia Roy, Trade Boosting Campaign In all the business men together we visit them that the object of the inquiry is to help each man to get the business. 2. Secure a pledge from each man to contribute enough to purchase prizes, have coupons printed and to thoroughly advertise the campaign. 3. Appoint a committee to create on such merchandise as is present at the meeting. This committee is to talk with them and urge their co-operation in the campaign. 4. Appoint another committee to arrange for announcements to be made in all the churches, at all the services. 5. Decide upon a definite date when you think it will be best to conduct the campaign in your city and then all work together to have the whole town aroused by that week. Talk about prizes, the value of team operation, and how much money Dollar spent with number of the race who is in business means an investment in prestige for the race and in opportunities for the boys and girls of the race. Let the opening day of the campaign be on a Monday and on the Sunday before invite each minister in the church to preach a sermon on the occasion of the campaign the value of race cohesion in business. Make it very clear that these campaigns are not organized in any spirit of antagonism to merchants of other races, but for the sole purpose of advertising the existence of Negro merchants. In many instances managers in many stores with men colored men do not be glad to make contributions of merchandise which can be used for prizes. In communities where Local Negro Business Leagues are already organized, it should not be difficult to organize the Trade Boosting Campaigns. If no League exists in your city, you should communicate once the Bureau met with the National Negro Business League, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and definite information will be sent you at once. All lines of business are eligible to participate in these campaigns and all communities where there is any considerable Negro population are urged to arrange a meeting to discuss the fall. For more detailed information regarding the Trade Boosting Campaigns, write the Secretary of the National Negro Business League, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.

Christiansburg, Va.—Under the auspices of the Christiansburg Institute, Prof. E. A. Long, principal, a Fair and Conference among colored people was held here Thursday and Friday of this week. The fair was an exhibition of products grown under the direction of faucus Cox and demonstrated by the Agent for Montgomery and Floyd Counties and Mrs. Ida V. Woodlyn, Industrial Supervisor for Montgomery County. A large number of white and colored people attended, including students from the High School with their teachers who came in a body. The articles exhibited by the colored people were excellent. The farm products—corn especially—were unattended and the Farm Denonator had at least taught the men how to select good corn. The exhibit by the Christiansburg Institute, of products grown by the students was a show in itself. At the State Fair for colored people held at Hampton Institute, the Christiansburg Institute merited first, second and third prizes on yellow corn. He made a good shading and indicated that the work was being directed along right lines. No snaer thing can be done for the Negroes to teach them to buy land and stlek to farming. In Montgomery County one-third of the Negro population is engaged in farming, and they own 96 per cent of the farms they operate, the credit for which situation is due at least in part to the influence of the Christiansburg Institute. Acres and requires all students both boys and girls to take a course in practical and theoretical agriculture before graduation. The Conference was held on Friday at the Memorial Baptist Church adjoining the school. The question of Health was discussed by Dr. A. M. Showalter, Mr. T. C.

State Supervisor of Canning Clubs, spoke on the Home-makers Clubs, Mrs. Ida V. Woodin told of the work of Canning Clubs among colored girls in Montgomery County, and Mrs. R. I.

He spoke to Better Schooler, Mr. Arthur Wright, State Supervisor, told what the State is doing to help colored people secure better schools. Prof. E. A. Long, president of Negro Teachers' Association told of League Work in Colored Schools in Virginia. He showed from records of the past five years that Negroes in Virginia through their school improvement leagues had expended more than $150,000 on their schools than they would have made to operate them. Perhaps there is not another State in the Union that can show so good a record for colored people. In an open discussion a number of patrons of Montgomery County told what was being done in their communities to better the schools. The topic which brought out greatest interest was: "More Farmers and better Farming." Mr. Robt. E. Clay, president of the Negro Business Association, said "fully" "The Business End of Farming." Mr. Jesse M. Jones, director of Cooperative Extension Work in Agriculture, and Home Economics in Virginia, whose headquarters are at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, told what the government is doing to aid farmers. His address was brimful of helpful information, and every man who heard him went away from the school. "The co-operation to the extension work than ever before Mr. John B. Plerco, who is Collab- rator with Mr. Jones, but working among Negroes, told what is being done in Virginia among colored farm- ers. Mr. Rufus H.

There has been reliable information, and the old Finnegan's Philosophy BALAAM Well do I mind the story, said Finnegan. Balam was a bighbrow that knowed less than his Jackass. He took an office to curse the people. The Jackass saved them. "Tis all in Numbers Twinty-two. Och hone! 'Tis different these times. The Jackass knew better till Balam tumed him: 'Lave me ride ye,' says Balam, "an' I'll make ye the biggest Ass in the wurld." "Great," says the Ass; "what dye feed?" S* Baham mounts. But soon the Jack baiks. "Phwat is it?" says Balaam. "Snakes," says to the Ass; "Ut looks like the jawbone up the mother." "G'wan," says Balaam, hittin' the Ass a clip, "'tis me furren' policy," he says. "Phwat's ut for?" axes the Ass. "Faith," says Balaam, "ut takes a bigger Ass than you to know that Love it to Brine," says Balaam to the Ass; an' the Jack walks on meditation'. "Hee, how," says the Ass, balkin' an' klickin'. "What now?" says Balaam. "Divil a Jackass ever seen the like," says the Ass. "Ut could be a frog," says he. "for ut stands up in front, an' sits down behind; an' 'tis mostly mouth," says the Ass. "Ut has white feathers," says the Jack, "wild yaller streaks, that changes," he says, "to Very Crooz Red, or Ningaray Blue, an' now they're Carrysall Yaller again," says he.

"G'wan, in the service uv Mankind," says Balamn to the Ass, touching him up. An' the Ass shuffles ahead, wavin' his ears in admiration. "Hee-haw!

Institute convened. Here we find ourselves amidst a cluster of beauty. Bethel A. M. E. Church is in a spell of fasionation. Miss H. B. Traynham is elected secretary, and Miss Fannie Brekeridge, district superintendent. After the welcome address, the response and the appointment of committees by the P. E. Dr. Geo. R. Jones, the Institute got down to business and it was a source of inspiration to sit and take notes. Papers were read from these subjects: "How May We Interest Our Girls in Sunday School Work," "How to Conduct a Sunday School Rally for Members," "The Bible in the Sunday School," "The Pastor in the Sunday School," "How to Conduct a Sunday School Review," "The Absence of Boys in the Sunday School (Causes)" by Bro. J. H. Hale, Rev. J. E. Harris, Miss H. B. Traynham, Rev. G. E. Harrington, and Miss Sabylla Bennett, of Martinsville, Vn. Miss Bennett is from one of our best families and will graduate from Danville High School this term. These excellent papers were well discussed by those in attendance and many conducive ideas advanced. Saturday night was the District Conference Concert, when there appeared some of the best talent; in song, recitation, select reading, and in many other ways which showed the district to be in line with the 20th Century Methods. Sunday Services. Sunday morning was bright and clear. "Old Sol" showed his invigorating face, while the church bells rang, giving us moving orders. We soon found ourselves in Bethel, where we witnessed a Model Sunday School, and the occasion was fraught with peculiar interest. Rev. J. W. Wright, A. B., of Norfolk District, gave the address. Many of the ministers were sent abroad to give the message to the sister churches, while Rev. A. J. Nixon, D. D., the old guard, was held over to impart the message at the seat of Conference. It was a great message too. Our hearts burned within us, as he said, "Before you gain port you will smell the land breezes of heaven, and Christ, will meet you as you come into the marrows of death," and tasseen to you and say, "Well done good and faithful servant." At 3 p. m. there was a great Sunday School mass meeting, and the writer was Master of Ceremonies. This created much enthusiasm and injected new life while Rev. J. A. Valentine, Miss H. B. Traynham, Miss Breckeridge, and the scribe delivered addresses. Mr. Editor, I am very appreciative of our good friend, Bro. Valentine, for the systematic style and glorious manner in which he mentioned the names of the following in his write-up of the District Conference: "Dr. E. H.

A five days' city-wide canvass will be started Monday, October 9th, to raise $2000.00 for the Day Nursery and Children's Home, which is conducted at 816 Chapel Street, under the auspices of the Children's Aid Society, Incorporated. The money is needed to pay off debts incurred in remodeling and making additions to the Home necessary to meet the increasing demands of the work the Society is doing for the dependent and delinquent children of the city. The building now has twenty-six rooms, with modern improvements such as baths, electric lights, etc. The citizens of Norfolk could not give their financial and moral support to a more worthy cause. The proper handling and disposition of the large number of children who through poverty, neglect or other misfortune become charges upon the public, is becoming a serious problem. The out- cast child nearly, always becomes a juvenile criminal or in some manner a menace to the morals of the community. Unfortunately the State makes very little provision for the prevention or reduction of this tendency, but on the other hand intentionally of course, accomplishes the complete downfall of a juvenile offender through its efforts to protect society by the application of the same methods to the juvenile that are applied to the adult criminal. In Norfolk the needs of the unfortunate children have been largely supplied through the co-operation of Mrs. Ida Nugent Paey, president and founder of the Children's Aid Society, with the juvenile branch of the criminal court. Hundreds of boys and girls that were headed straight for a criminal court have been taken in charge by Mrs. Paey, fed, clothed, sheltered placed in school and in the paths of rectitude. Such an institution is a valuable asset in any community and deserves the encouragement and support of all public-spirited citizens. A group of canvassers will begin work Monday morning and it is hoped that their efforts will meet with a hearty response from the public. Persons who are not reached by a solicitor may send their contributions direct to the Journal and Guide or to Mrs. Ida Nugent Paey, 816 Chapel Street.

The white woman of this country has not taken one step to help safeguard the chastity of her colored sister. This whole race problem will be quickly and easily solved when the white women teach their children around the fireside not to respect white women less, but to respect colored women more. The health and happiness of the unity of both races is wrapped up in a fair treatment of the colored women. While white men are building Y. M. C. A's for colored men and show great sympathy and interest in them, we are praying that white women around their firesides and in their work of uplift will remember that we are in need of just such agencies and just women who can help the hood to save us from the social evils that now masquerade in the history of both races. Why should the better class of white men be so close to the better class of colored men that they can work together in these uplift agencies and the worst class of white men and the worst class of Negro women be so related that they can together with white men destroy the purity of both white men and best class of white women and the best class colored women stand apart in sympathy and in broad, beneficent cooperation in solving the problems that vex us. Let it not be understood that we overlook those individuals who are working with us and for us, but the world knows that the great white sisterhood and the great colored sisterhood is for us, for apart in friendship and practical sympathy as the East is from the West. The two races used to be so close together that the elders called our fore-parents "uncle" and "nunt," and their children called us "mammay," but the spirit of contempt and hatred has offspring, try to humiliate us by calling us "coon" "darkay" "nigger." Why the change? What a travesty on boasted culture and superiority. The "mammies" taught white children to love us, but their mothers have new lessons that are too easily learned. The race problem will never be solved, until white and colored women work together for mutual respect and protection. The longer and farther apart the women of the two races remain, the greater will be the encronment by white men. We have had quite enough of this relationship that is making the white race blacker and the black race white. The same women who lead in other more reforms and are willing to work give attention to this most vital question. It can be done without arraying the criminals before the bar of social justice. Let the white youth be taught to respect all women. Let uplift agencies work to lift and protect colored women and girls and the problem will work out for itself.—The Worker. Some School Statistica. The annual report of the superintendent of education for Charleston county, S. C., shows some interesting results. The majority of the population of the county is colored, yet the expenditures for schools were: For whites, $148,734.37; and for Negroes, $57,807.06. The teachers in the white schools received $89,885.22; and in the Negro school, $49,770.02. The per capita expenditure per white pupil was $27.16, $8.79 less than last year; while the per capita expenditure per black pupil was $6.88, $2.6 cents less than last year. Notwithstanding these reductions these figures are far above the average for the state. The schedule of teachers' salaries is above the average for the state and for the nation. White men received $1,161.29; white women, $511.26; men in Negro schools, $911.23; women in Negro schools, $913.24. In white schools the teacher had an enrollment of 35 pupils and an average attendance of 43. A recent report of the public schools of Greenville county, S. C., shows that the annual per capita expenditure for white pupils was $19.38; for colored pupils $14.40. Three years ago these figures were $15.32 and $1.25 respectively. Each white teacher had 39 pupils and each colored teacher 95. SAVING THE WASTE. The supply train rattled into a-way station on a local division of the Norfolk Southern Railroad the other day and the supply train brought some hills of lading, a scratch pac, a bottle of ink and two boxes of safety matches to the agent at this way station. Farther down the line it would put off a keg of spipes and some rails for a section gang. Once every few days the supply train goes from station to station leaving supplies for its agents and section foremen. Having left the agent the few little supplies he needed, one of the train crew bawled out "Any Paper"? In reply to the question the station agent tossed him a grass sack filled with waste paper, probably seven pounds of waste paper all told. The trainmen tossed the bag into a freight car and the supply train moved on. Upon inquiry I learned that the railroad company has ordered its station agents to save every scrap of waste paper. The supply train gathers this waste anew every trip. If only amounts to a penny or two per station, but there are many stations and the supply train makes many trips a year. The amount of waste paper gathered from these railway stations swells to thousands of pounds a year and a thousand pounds of waste paper is worth several dollars. Here we have a big, busy, opulent railroad saving pennies that most of us throw away. There may be a lesson in this little story of the supply train. If x railroad with millions of dollars in bigger things to look after can stop waste paper wouldn't it be a save paper thing for the rest of us to save our waste paper? - Elizabeth City Independent. AGED NEGRO RESIDENT PAID UNUSUAL TRIBUTE AGED NEGRO RESIDENT PAID UNUSUAL TRIBUTE Norfolk Boat Club Adopts Memorial Resolutions To John Reed, Its Janitor. Unqual tribute was paid yesterday to the memory of a colored resident of Norfolk by the board of governors of the Norfolk Boat Club when memorial resolutions on the death of John Reed, janitor and boatswain of the club, were unanimously adopted. John had been connected with the club from the date of its birth to the time of his death. Unfailing devotion to the organization to which heowed allegiance, uniform courtesy and energy, emulation made him the favorite full member and agent him the respect of all citizens who knew him. He died Thursday morning at St. Vincent's Hospital, at the age of about 72 years, following two years of failing health. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the Queen Street Baptist Church. Members of the board of governors of the club will be members of the club will attend the service. George H. Sargeant, secretary and E. Griffith Dodson, commode, will also attend. Following are the resolutions: On motion, the following memorial resolution was unanimously adopted: John Reed, the veteran janitor and boatswain of the club, has this day passed to his rest. The board and the membership learn of his death with genuinely affectionate sorrow. He has been identified with the entire life and history of the club. Coming into its service shortly after its organization, he gave it more than twenty years of faithful and efficient labor. Even in his last two years of infirmity and old age every brief convalescence found him by his poets, his poet and heart devoted to its welfare. An unbroken connection of house-ceptains testify to his intelligent guidance in keeping up the property and promoting an efficient and economical management. Some have called him the "brains of the club," and might have called him, too, the "soul" of it, because he has always loved it and felt and shown his pride in it. His fidelity and loyalty to it have amounted to a sort of patriotism. Only one short vacation has interrupted his many years of service until his last two years of failing health divorced him from his devoted duties. Members and visiting yachtmen alike use his skill and friendliness to all and his cheerfulness of service. Gentlemen found in him the heart of a gentleman. He was a type for his race to emulate, and was in many qualities an example to us all. Therefore, Be It Resolved: That we record upon those minutes our sense of loss in his death and this memorial tribute to his life; and that a copy of this resolution be posted in the library of the club and a copy transmitted to his widow—Virginian-Hilot.

MANY CHILDREN MAKELOW MARKS Their School Work Hindered By Poor Eyesight Resulting In Slow Advancement. At the last school session, not only in Norfolk, but in every city in the Union, it was noticeable that nervous, fidgety, timid boys and girls were especially backward in their studies. Children who suffer from headaches and dizziness were also behind in their classes. Upon good authority it has been stated that in a great majority of cases this lack of advancement was largely due to poor eyesight, which could easily have been overcame if parents had had their children's eyes examined by an eyesight specialist and the proper glasses prescribed. Many parents, while particularly careful of their children's health and food neglect entirely the condition of their eyes. While the children's eyesight may appear normal, often there exists a strain of weakness that seriously affects the health. This condition is aggravated by study and school work and in time will likely result in serious trouble. Dr. Masrow, the well-known Norfolk Eyesight Specialist, makes a specialty of children's eye troubles and will give expert advice and competent reliable service. Every modern facility is at his command. Dr. Masrow's office is in the Dickson Building, suite 405-405½. Office hours from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. NEGRO CONFERENCE AND FAIR PRINCESS ANNE COUNTY.

Mothers are sometimes so thoughtless as to neglect the colds which their children contract. The inflammation of the mucus membrane, at first acute, becomes chronic and the child has chronic catarrh, a disease that is seldom cured and that may prove a life's burden. Many persons who have this tonsilome disease will remember having had frequent colds at the time it was contracted. A little forethought, a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy judiciously used, and all this trouble might have been avoided. For sale by all druggists.

Dear Sir,— Because it will interest you to know that I have been ruptured six years and have always had trouble with it till I got your Appliance. It is very important that you be careful and that it is not in the way at any time, day or night. In fact, at times I did not know I had it on; it just adapted itself to the unfortunate body and was a part of the body, as it clung to the spot, no matter what position I was in. I would be a veritable God-send to the unfortunate who suffer from rupture if all could procure the Brooks Rupture Appliance and wear it. They would be so hurt that my rupture is now all healed up and nothing ever did it but your Appliance. Whenever the opportunity presents it, I will rupture it and also the honorable way in which you deal with ruptured people, is a pleasure to recommend a good thing among your friends or strangers. Yours very sincerely, JAMES A. BRITTON, 60 Spring St., Bethlehem, Pa. Confederate Veteran Cured Commerces, Ga., R. F. D. No. 11. Mr. C. E. Brooks.

It is absolutely the only Appliance of the kind on the market today, and embodied the principles that Inventors have sought after for years. 2. The Appliance for retaining the rupture cannot be thrown out of position. 3. Being an air cushion of soft rub- tables, you may yet never blisters or causes irritation. 4. Unlike the ordinary so-called pals, you blisters, it is not cumbersome or unruly. 5' It is smalt, soft and pliable, and powder, cannot be detected through the clothing. 6. The soft, pliable bands holding the Appliance do not give one the unanticipated sensation of wearing a hardness. 7. There is nothing about it to get painful when it becomes soiled it can be washed without injuring it in the least. 8. There are no metal springs in the tie-down. By cutting out the brushing the deal. 9. All of the material of which the Appliances are made is of the very best that money can buy, making it a durable and appliable to wear. 10. My reputation for honesty and fair dealing is so thoroughly established by an experience of over thirty years of dealing with the public, and prefers to season his my terms no fay, that there is genuinely no hesitancy in sending free coupon today.

CUMMINGS Norfolk Sanitarium Of The New Science of Healing all Diseases Without Drugs or Operation by The German Bath System. 719 Washington Avenue, Norfolk Virginia 719 Washington Avenue, Norfolk, Virginia A LETTER OF THANKS AND TESTIMONY Norfolk, Vn., August 2, 1916. To who it may concern: This is to certify that I have been suffering with extreme pains from two abcesses in both ears, in so much I was compelled to quit work. The next question was to whom shall I go to? My wife and I decided for Dr. Cummings to treat me. I saw him and he said for me to come to his Sanitarium. In the third day every pain disappeared and after two weeks I was restored to my work. Now this I can say, that Dr. Cummings treatment consists of a scientific method of applying water, not as a way that the people believe that he applies water, but quite a different way altogether. He is the first man I saw to give a bath with your clothes on and do not wet your clothes. And not only are his baths scientific but also his method of dieting, for it is believed that Dr. Cummings is one of the most leading dieticians that we have in this country among the colored race. Now I recommend Dr. Cummings and his treatment to all suffering humanity. While my two weeks' stay at his sanitarium I saw some of the most remarkable work performed on suffering individuals. My observation was very keen while I was there, and there was nothing I saw that was reproachful, every thing was done decent and in order, and it is a place where any decent man or woman can venture to go without being molested by any one. He is kind, generous, hospitable and full of sympathy for his patients. I hope if there is any one suffering I kindly recommend this work to you Go and prove it for yourself. JAMES G.

I visited this progressive old town January 1, 1914, when I was Emancipation orator in my father's stead. The people were most courteous and hospitable. There is a good Methodist and splendid Baptist Church here. A great revival was in progress during my visit. The educational life is by no means void or destitute. The day on which I arrived a banquet was given to the outgoing students who will fill the ranks of Shaw, High Point and other THE SOUTHERN SR SERVES THE SOUTH SOUTHERN RAILWAY PREMIER CARRIER OF THE SOUTH Lv.

The business was most commendable. Mr. Burke conducts a successful grocery store; Mr. Lowe is the town undertaker; Mr. W. J.

By the way I might remark that his son, Robert, kept me out most of the time in his father's "Ford." A dozen or more people own this make of car. I have a sense of the most profound commendation for these unostentatious loyal people of this little village of the "Tar Heel State." We might almost call it a model community. My trip opened to me many features, and was one of pleasant surprises. I firmly believe that when we make a survey of the towns and cities that are contributing to Negro elevation and land management. N.C. will occupy a helpless place. CHARLES SATCHEL MORRIS.

Mr. Bailey announces that he has just renovated his hall and dining room and is ready for the entertainment of the public for the fall and winter season. The hall will be under Mr. Bailey's personal supervision and nothing will go on there to mar the feelings of the most distictuous. Mr. Bailey also announces that the same high standard that has been maintained by his place throughout the summer season will prevail this fall and winter. Obscene or vulgar dances or language or objectionable persons will be rejected from the hall. Mr. Bailey will personally see that the best of order and decorum are properly enforced. Mr. Bailey's dining room is also in operation and his friends will always find it clean and inviting, with the best service and the best food the market affords. The first football game of the season will take place at Norfolk League Park when West High School eleven will play the "Monarchs," Norfolk's crack semi-pro team. The contest promises to be an interesting one as the high school boys are on edge and in good condition and the "Monarchs" have a long established reputation for cleverness on the gridiron. The admission price to the game is 25 cents for adults and 15 cents for children. CARD OF THANKS. Mrs. Lucy Perkins extends sincere thanks to all for the many kindnesses and words of sympathy, also the beautiful floral designs at the death of her mother, Mrs. Hester A. Johnson AT THE MANHATTAN There is no question about the shows at the Manhattan nowadays. They speak for themselves louder than words can speak for them. The programs are always full of entertainment, education and inspiration. The crowds go there because the programs are always inviting, the order always good, and their comfort well looked after. The theatre is always sanitary and clean with the best ventilation. It is cool in summer and comfortable in winter. "The Grip of Evil" every Wednesday is pleasing its host of followers, and is proving to be one of the most attractive serial features ever shown in this city. The program for today (Saturday) is one of exceptional merit and deserves the patronage of all. THE CREAM OF MOTION PICTURE PRODUCTIONS AT THE PALACE The Palace Theatre is affording its patrons the cream of motion picture plays. The best and nothing but the best are the offerings to be seen at this popular house. World, Fox, Metro and Triangle represent the acme of perfection in the moving picture world and the Palace has them all. The people who can discriminate between high class productions and ordinary ones go to the Palace, that has won for itself the reputation of "The Home of Good Movies." Saturday's Features. Aside from the "Grip of Evil" Saturday, the most sensational of the Pathe serial features, the Palace will present a great Triangle feature entitled "The Lamb," featuring Douglas Fairbanks, one of the best known screen favorites. The feature is a remarkably good one and will be one of the biggest hits of the season beyond a doubt. Raymond Hitchcock will also be seen along with Max Sennett and Mabel Brown in a sensationally Keystone comedy entitled "The Valet." "Two Gun Hicks" Monday. William S. Hart, (Two Gun Hicks), who is in a class by himself when it comes to impersonating the sure enough westerner, comes to the Palace Monday in a five-reel Western drama. Hart has won an immense following at the Palace, being the star in the best western features ever shown there. "The Disciple" is the title of the drama, and from the success it has achieved it appears that it is an engrossing production. A Keystone Comedy, "Saved by Wireless," will also be screened. Helen Holmes Tuesday. Tuesday will bring to the Palace that Peerless Railroad girl and screen favorite, Helen Holmes, in a thrilling five-act railroad drama entitled "Medicine Bend." The fact that Helen Holmes is on the program for this day is enough to draw one of the biggest crowds ever gathered in this picture house, but that isn't all, "Medicine Bend" is the acme of perfection in moving picture production. Wednesday. Valeska Suratt and William E. Shay comes to the Palace Wednesday in a wonderful Fox Feature, "The Soul of Broadway, the most amazing photodramm ever produced. The story concerns the life of a typical New York stage woman, wonderfully beautiful and old in son, who wields such an influence over her lover that he becomes a thief to satisfy her craving for the luxuries of life, is sent to prison where he reforms. When he leaves prison the woman sees him and tries again to lure him in the ways of sin; he refuses to yield and is saved by the hand of destiny. Exploits of Elaine Thursday. The second episode of the most thrilling serial the Pathe people have ever produced, and which was so popular that the Palace management, is bringing it back in a return engagement will be screened Thursday. Pearl White as Elaine, Arnold Daly as Craig Kennedy and Sheldon Lewis as the Clutching Hand, will long be remembered by the movie fans for the brilliancy with which they played their respective parts. Theda Bara Friday. William Fox presents the queen of Vampire women Friday, Theda Bara, in "The Serpent," in which she is at her best as a beautiful Russian peasant girl. In its magnitude, it even excels "A Fool There Was," in which Theda Bara gained such world-wide popularity. Rollicing Musical Comedy Coming to the Colonial Monday If for no other reason than that they have consistently given a remarkably good show whenever they appeared in this city, S. Tutt Whitney, J. Homer Tutt, Miss Blanche Thompson and their host of supporters can very well afford to look forward with pleasurable anticipation to their return here in "How Newtown Prepared and Bullion Fared," for the public will certainly turn out to see their favorites in what is said to be one of the best vehicles ever used by the Smart Set Company. In keeping with the times, S. Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt have written a show along the lines we would naturally expect, for they are men who keep in touch with the things going on around them and when they announced that they had a show built along "preparedness" lines the least intelligent could readily see the PALACE THEATRE WEDNESDAY THE SOUL OF BROADWAY Fox Feature FRIDAY THEDA BARA in THE SERPENS OF LY.

If the show is half as good as "George Washington Bullion Abroad," we can predict a very successful engagement for them at the Colonial Theatre next Monday, matinee and night. Ford THE UNIVERSAL CAR! CHASSIS $325.00 opportunity for a barrel of fun. Newtown, as we understand it, is struck by the idea with preparing and placing at the disposal of the President a company made of former soldiers now in the state of "old fogyism," and the fun incidental to their preparing, starting and getting lost on the ocean is great. At one period these well meaning old fellows with funny Bullion along, find themselves The greatest of them all. The red-blooded action of the Western world blended into a serial of wonderful national interest. F.O.B. Detroit TOURING CAR $360.00
