AN ADVERTISEMENT IN THIS PAPER WILL BRING THE BEST RESULTS. VOLUME XVII. NO. 17 A. & T. COLLEGE RELIGIOUS WORK Y. M. C. A. AND TEMPERANCE WORK AN IMPORTANT FEATURE OF COLLEGE ACTIVITIES GOOD SUNDAY SCHOOL. (By John D. Wray.) Greensboro, N. C.—I have heard the statement that State Institutions are of an irreligious nature, just how much truth there is in such an expression, I am not able to say, but if it is true, the A. & T. College of this city is a very great exception to the rule. In the first place, our worthy president, Dr. James B. Dudley, is a firm believer in religious training, and exercises as much care in this particular part of the work, as he does in the Industrial Arts and Sciences. A regular service is held at 3 o'clock each Sunday afternoon, and the best ministers of the city, white and colored of all denominations, preach to the students from the beginning to the end of each session. A most excellent service is rendered by these friends which is absolutely undenominational, and because of the latter, it has a very reverential effect upon our student body. There is also a live Y. M. C. A. Association which meets every Sunday at 8 a.m. This organization is a volunteer movement among the students, and has a wonderful effect upon the moral and religious life of the student body. I recall, very distinctly, a poor boy, who got sick here on one occasion and the Y. M. C. A. boys relieved the college entirely of his care and responsibility. They took turns and sat up with him day and night. They supplied from their own treasury a great many things that the college would have freely provided. They took the place of a trained nurse, and intelligently carried out the Doctor's instructions, until the boy recovered. Another occasion, I remember also, one of the best prayer meetings I ever witnessed in my life, was held in our College Chapel. It broke up the study hour in the whole school, and five boys were converted. I reported the matter to President Dudley. I do not recall the exact words of his reply, but it was an expression of congratulation, and gratification over the success of our meeting. Very recently a boy got his leg broken playing football, as soon as he was able, the boys carried him back and forth to every game, to the service in the Chapel, and each of them seemed to pride themselves of the opportunity to render this service which continued until recuperated. These are only a few of the many incidents of this kind. There is also one of the best Sunday Schools in the State, held in connection with the college work, and it meets at 9 o'clock. If there are any who may doubt this statement, I will ask them to drop into our College Chapel any Sunday morning at 9 o'clock. All these religious organizations have the hearty approval of the president, and receive his personal attention, and all teachers and students who have charge of the various branches, are given all the encouragement necessary. President Dudley was not satisfied with the above work alone, he believed that temperance was an essential part of his students education and would best fit them to render a much needed service among our people. So early in the session of 1912 while I was teaching in my Alma Mater, he asked Professors W. N. Nelson, F. D. Bluford and myself to organize a Temperance Society for the boys, and hold monthly meetings, at which time the importance of this subject should be discussed, and the students who desired might sign a ledge which is as follows: people of alcoholic liquors as a beverage; to abstain from the use of tobacco and other narcotic; to abstain from the use of profane and obscene language." This pledge was gotten up by the boys and approved by the committee of teachers and the president. At our first meeting, Mrs. Chas. D. McIver of this city delivered a most appropriate address, and the impression she made is still fresh in our memories. And from then until now, the best qualified person that could be found have been sought to impart in "I promise to abstain from the use formation to our boys on this important subject. President Dudley authorized us to secure competent persons for the occasion, if they could be gotten anywhere in the State, and even outside of the State, if necessary, because he believes that on account of the prohibition laws it is necessary to disseminate the knowledge and nature of temperate living, to say nothing of its important effect upon the life, health and character of our people. Now I haven't a complete record, but a conservative estimate shows that about 700 students have joined this society in the last five years, and so far as I have been able to learn, very few of them have failed to live up to their pledge. One of our boys, Mr. O. M. Wilson, reflected much credit upon himself, the society and the school in an experience he had last summer. We are all very proud of him, and many others who have done likewise. The Journal and Guide Last Sunday afternoon I attended the temperance meeting in the College Chapel, and one of the most interesting programs, of its kind, I ever heard was rendered, and all the participants were students who are under the supervision of F. D. Bluford, W. N. Nelson and D. K. Cherry. At this meeting extracts were read from various writers on the temperance question representing the leading Universities of the world. At the conclusion of these most excellent selections, several songs were sung, and 43 boys without any coaxing whatever, came forward and signed the pledge. This seems to me a splendid representation of the five years work of this organization, and I felt that the public ought to know about it. With the greatest respect for the modesty of President Dudley and his corps of excellent teachers, I make the same criticism on him, I made on Prof. T. S. Inborden of the Joseph K. Brick School. Too little is known of the great work of A. & T. College, and its effective influence, not only in North Carolina, but throughout this South Land. So I feel that it should be highly congratulated for the success of its Temperance and Religious organization, both of which are doing untold good and have a wholesome effect upon the life, and character of our people. WILMINGTON Musical Extravaganza Presented For Bencfit Of Recreation Center. Wilmington N. C.—A noteworthy evidence of the interest of the colored citizens, of this city, in their own welfare is the Civic League organized about a year ago. Among the numerous efforts, the one that has effected the largest results is the work of the Playground and Recreation Committee, of which Miss Jane Crawley is the head. They have succeeded in almost fully equipping an up-to-date Playground on the grounds of the Williston Industrial and Grammar School. Many have been the plans and efforts to raise the money necessary and the most recent was the Musical Extravaganza entitled "Contrary Mary" arranged and conducted by Mr. Arthur E. Nixon, with the collaboration of Mrs. Lulu Richardson George at the piano. This was presented at the Academy of Music, on Friday the 19th. With the exception of Mr. Nixon the entire cast was young boys and girls, and their efforts were very praiseworthy indeed. The affair was very pleasing and was enjoyed by a fair-sized audience, which however should have been much larger. These special features were introduced; a piano solo by little Miss Alice Wood, who rendered the Piano Variations of 'Old Black Joe' to the credit of herself and her instructor; a vocal so, 'At the End of a Beautiful Day', by little Miss Blanche Hall, whose rendition elicited several encores; and last and most entertaining of all was the violin selections of young Master Charles Stewart, whose performance was so lightful and captivating that after repeated encores, several pieces of money was thrown onto the stage for him. While the entire company was very good, the principal characters deserve more than passing mention. They were: Olive Parris, Gladys Cobb, Janie Lane, Ernestine Nixon, Chas, Kellog, Wm. Green, Chas. Hill and Chas. Stewart. Mr. Nixon has arranged to form the members of this cast and any other interested children of the city into a Jubilee Club, and is devoting two hours each week to their instruction absolutely free of charge. Too much credit cannot be given this young man whose effort in this respect bids fair in time to compare favorably with the Musical Settlement of New York City. It is hoped that other musical instructors of this city will co-operate with him. The proceeds of the affair is to be divided between the Playground Fund and the Colored Y. M. C. A., of which Mr. E. G. Story is president and who made fitting remarks on the above occasion. Thanks is due Messrs. Telfair and Hill who so ably assisted in the success of the occasion upon the Cello and Cornet respectively. RETURNS HOME WITH NERVOUS BREAKDOWN Chas. S. Morris, Jr., a student of Nynek Academy, Nyack, N. J., who was selected by the students of that institution to represent them in an oratorical contest at Columbia University in March of this year, came home recently suffering from a nervous breakdown. Mr. Morris is under the professional care of Drs. Paey and Byrd. It is hoped that he may have a speedy recovery in order that he may again resume his studies. Armstrong Day. The Norfolk County Chapter of the Armstrong League has prepared a program for the celebration of General Armstrong's birthday, Sunday, January 28th, at 3:30 p. m., at First Baptist Church. Good music and inspiring addresses may be expected. The celebration is not restricted to Hampton graduates and ex-students by any means. All who are in sympathy with the "Hampton Spirit" and with Negro progress in general, are glad of this opportunity to pay tribute to the "Prophet of Negro Possibilities." The usually large attendance is anticipated. NORFOLK. VIRGINIA. JANUARY 27, 1917 LOCAL BRANCH NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED At a conference of Norfolk citizens held in the offices of The Journal and Guide last Monday night a local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was organized. Mr. James Welden Johnson, of New York City, field secretary of the Association was present and addressed the meeting and directed the formation of the local body. The following officers were elected: P. B. Young, president; M. R. Jackson, vice-president; Mrs. Laura E. Titus, secretary, and Mrs. F. S. Barbour, treasurer. The executive board and other committees will be named at a subsequent meeting to be announced at an early date. Eighteen members were enrolled at the meeting Monday night. As soon as twenty-five are secured a charter will be applied for for the Norfolk branch. In a very interesting talk Mr. Johnson reviewed the history of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and outlined the general scope of the work being done by the organization in interest of the race. Those present at the conference with Mr. Johnson were: Dr. A. B. Green, Dr. G. Jarvis Bowens, Dr. J. A. Byers, Dr. R. J. Mathews, Dr. R. J. Brown, Messrs. C. C. Dogan, M. R. Jackson, F. E. Puryear, J. T. Tanner, C. H. Oliver, F. M. Johnston, Robt. H. Cross, P. B. Young, Prof. Harvey Robinson, Attorney Walter L. Davis, Mesdames L. E. Titus, F. S. Barbour and E. L. Young. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has its general offices in New York City and branches in practically all of the principal cities. Its executive officers are: Mr. Moortfield Storey of Boston, president; Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard of New York, first vice-president; E. Spray of New York, chairman of the board of directors; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois of New York, director of publications and research; Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard of New York, treasurer and Mr. Roy Nash of New York, secretary. The definite program and purpose of this organization has thus been stated: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People seeks to uplift the colored men and women of this country by securing to them the full enjoyment of their rights as citizens, justice in all courts, and equality of opportunity everywhere. It favors, and aims to aid, every kind of education among them save that which teaches special privilege or prerogative, class or caste. It recognizes the national character of the Negro problem and no sectionalism. It believes in the upholding of the Constitution of the United States and its amendments, in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln. It upholds the doctrine of 'all men up and no man down.' It abhors Negro crime, but still more, the conditions which breed crime, and most of all the crimes committed by mobs in the mockery of the law or by individuals in the name of the law. "It believes that the scientific truths of the Negro problems must be available before the country can see its way wholly clear to right existing wrongs. It has no other belief than that the best way to uplift the colored man is the best way to aid the white man to peace and social content; it has no other desire than exact justice, and no other motive than humanity." PROF. J. RILEY DUNGEE AWARDED $10.00 FOR PRIZE POEM. At Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, Monday night, January 22, 1917, Prof. J. Riley Dungee, A. M. LL. B., one of our distinguished townsmen and an educator of some note was awarded ten dollars in gold by "Praiseworthy Muse," a magazine of Negro verse, for the best poem on the life achievements or death of Dr. Booker T. Washington. The presentation address was delivered by Rev. Jas. S. Hatcher, A. B., B. D., pastor of the John Brown Memorial Church. In his timely way, Rev. Hatcher made quite an interesting appeal for Negro poetry and encouraged the movement that has begun recently, for the purpose of engendering in every Afro-American's heart a larger appreciation for the poetical literature of the race. Rev. Hatcher also stated that the occasion was the greatest of its kind that Norfolk had witnessed and possessed a favorable stimulus for our rising poets. After the address, Prof. Dungee recited his winning poem on Dr. Washington and a humorous selection, both of which received much praise and applause. In connection with the presentation a spicy program was rendered, music being furnished by the "Ideal Quartette" a solo by Miss C. Lamb. Miss Sims gave a reading and Rev. Mr. Hamilton acted as master of ceremonies. In the Y. M. C. A. news of last week the name of Wm. Wm. Gordon was mis-spelled. Instead of Wm. Dordor being treasurer it should have been M. Wm. Gordon. ASK BETTER LIGHTS AND STREETS IN HUNTERSVILLE Attorney James M. Harrison sent a letter to the Board of Control a few days ago complaining of the poor lighting system and poor streets provided by the city authorities for the Huntersville section and the Board replied to Mr. Harrison as follows: Mr. James N. Harrison, 410 Queen Street. Dear Sir: Yours of the 22nd. instant in regard to the necessity for lights in the Huntersville section of the city in the localities you specify, has been received and the Board has referred this subject to the Superintendent of Electrical Affairs for his investigation and report. In the matter of the bad condition of the streets, this has been referred to the Street Department for attention. Very respectfully, DAVID AND CLARA MANNES TO APPEAR IN RECITAL The story of David Manness life is so well known among musical people and people interested in the development of the art of music in this country, that to repeat it seems almost unnecessary. But there may be some who have not heard it, and if there are any such among those who go to Mr. and Mrs. Manness's concert on Friday evening, February 2. at Hampton Institute, they will be interested to know something of the history of this artist. The Manness family enigrated to America from Poland in 1862 and settled in New York's lower East Side, where, in the poorest, most miserable surroundings, David was born. A none too strong constitution (for he grew up in a somewhat constant state of ill-heath) produced in him an unusually sensitive mind, and it was only natural that his life should seem to him almost unbearable and thus should be given birth in him his first ideal—to make music. So, in his very early years, "idealism" marked David for her own. A violin was bought for him, and he had a few lessons with some musician. One day he was, as the saying goes, "discovered" by a Negro violinist, John Douglas, who was attracted, as he walked through the street in which the Manneses lived, by the beauty of the boy's tone. Douglas took David Mannes under his musical care and taught him after the way of the European masters with whom he had studied. Shortly he got a position, and for some years he played in cafe and theatre orchestras, keeping himself always free, instinctively, from the influences that naturally beset him; until he was again discovered—this time by Walter Damrosch, the director of the Symphony Society of New York, Mr. Damrosch at once offered him a desk among the first violine in the orchestra. From that position he soon rose to that of concert-master, which he held for some twelve years, and during which time he married Mr. Damrosch's sister—Tara Damrosch. By saving out of his earnings Mr. Mannes managed to go to Europe during the summers to study, and satisfied only with the greatest, his last teacher was Ysaye. While still concert-master of the orchestra Mr. Mannes began, with Mrs. Mannes, to give recitals of Sonatas, a form of music very little known in this country at that time. The distinction and fine musical standard of their performances brought them very quickly into prominence, and now the Sonata Recitals of David and Clura Mannes have become an artistic institution ranked with such chamber music organizations as the Flonzaley and Knelsen Quartets. This season is their tenth. In New York Mr. and Mrs. Mannes give a series of three recitals yearly. The concert which they will give at Hampton Institute, on Friday evening, February 2, under the auspices of the Hampton Choral Union, is one of a long list which they will play throughout the country. Inquiry In Negro Arrests Inquiry in Negro Arrests. Savannah, Ga.-The Police Committee of the City Council is instructing and investigation agents to the wholesale arrests of the Police Department of Negroes who were said to be leaving Savannah to work in the North. Attorneys for the Negroes, employed by the Colored Business Men's League, maintain that the majority of those arrested were young Negro students and that the arrests were illegal, and without cause. A Grand Debate There will be a grand debate at the Queen Street Baptist Church, Monday evening, January 29th, 1917, under the auspices of the Norfolk Temple No.1, for the benefit of the Queen Street Baptist Missionary Circle. Subject: "Resolved that Virginia Would be in Better Condition Iaht It Not Gone" Dry." Affirmative, P. I. Christian, and C. Snowden, Negative, S. H. Winchester and Charlie Billups. Rev. F. W. Williams, pastor; Mrs. E. V. Kelly, secretary of Temple. Ad M. A. B. Mr. Roscoe C. Deans. After an illness of eight days, Mr. Doscoe C. Deans dies Tuesday, January 23d, at his late residence, 428 Cumberland street. Mr. Deans came to Norfolk in December, 1906, to accept the position of bookkeeper for the Chas. S. Carter Tallorning Co., which position he held up to the time of his death. He was popular in business circles and had endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact. He was a member of the choir of Bank Street Baptist Church, had served as assistant superintendent of the Sunday School and at the time of his death was one of the teachers. He was a newly elected director of the Home Building Association, president of the Mistletoe Beneficial "Club." Mr. Deans was a graduate of West Virginia Institute. Funeral services were held over the remains Thursday noon at Bank Street Baptist Church, after which they were shipped to his home in Montgomery, W. Va., for interment ROANOKE. VA. Arrangements Complete For Meeting Of State Dental Association. (By W. A. Reed.) Ranoke, Va.—Arrangements have been completed for the annual meeting of the Old Dominion State Dental Association which meets in Ranoke, Va., February the 21st and 22nd, 1917. The business and public meetings will be held in the St. Paul M. E. Church cor. Park street and Fourth Ave. Rev. Beane, pastor. The local program committee of which Dr. E. R. Dudley is chairman, has prepared a splendid program for the public meeting. Interesting subjects will be discussed and many helpful suggestions will be offered. Rev. G. C. Taylor, is still confined to his bed but we are glad to report that he is much improved. Mrs. Hawkins, wife of Rev. J. H. Hawkins, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, Charlotte C. H., Van, preached for the pastor Sunday morning and evening, delivering two very helpful sermons. The members of the church showed their loyalty Sunday by raising more than ($270.00). Many captains were not prepared to report Sunday and a final report will be made Sunday, January the 27th. An effort is being made by the pastor to raise ($500.00) at this time for two purposes; ($220.00) for educational work, this being the amount asked to be raised by this church to help meet the conditional gift of ($12,500) from the Duke fund when alike sum is raised. Mt. Zion is sure of her part and hopes to raise the necessary amount for other purposes. Dr. R. C. Wood, president of the Va. Theological Seminary and College at Lynchburg, Va., filled the pulpit at the High St. Baptist Church for the last two Sundays both morning and evening. The St. Luke P. E. Chapel is progressing under the leadership of Rev. O. Meade, rector of Christ Church. Mrs. Julia Schley of Montgomery, Ala., has been in Roanoke for the past two months, the guest of her son, Mr. W. S. Schley. Mrs. Schley will leave Thursday afternoon, January 29th, for her home after a very pleasant stay in this city. The Wednesday Afternoon Whist Club met January 17th with Mrs. F. L. McCoy. A very pleasant time was spent. Mrs. Halle Terrell and Mrs. E. D. Dudley won prizes. Miss Mary J. Peters of Pittsburg, Pa., arrived in Roanoke this week and will spend the winter here. She is a relative of Mrs. Richard Hurt and Mr. Whitney Peters. Miss Irene Richardson of Marion, Va., is visiting her aunt, Mrs. W. B. Hunter of Henry street, N. W. Gainsboro School Exemptions.

PRICE FIVE CENTS TO OBSERVE TAG DAY MARCH 3D NEGRO ORGANIZATION SOCIETY WILL RAISE FUNDS FOR INDUSTRIAL HOME SCHOOL FOR WAYWARD GIRLS. (By T. C. Irwin.) Petersburg, Va.—On two previous occasions the Organization Society has conducted a state-wide tag day in the interest of some cause that concerns all the people of the state. Tag Day for the present year will be Saturday, March 3, and the beneficiary is to be the Industrial Home School for Wayward Girls located on the Mill Farm near Peake, in Hanover County. The institution was founded through the efforts of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, and is fostered by that organization. It receives a small annual appropriation from the state for equipment and the maintenance of the inmates. To meet all other demands, which are many, the treasury must be replenished from other sources. The plant consists of more than one hundred acres of land, buildings, equipment, etc. costing about $20,000. Last May a modern brick building, well designed and substantially constructed, was dedicated. The erection of this building, which cost $10,000, necessitated a loan of $8,000 secured by mortgage on the property. At the present time thirty-seven girls are being cared for and trained at the Home School. The institution can accommodate fifty girls. Quite a number of other girls, committed to the institution by the courts, are waiting to be admitted. In the meantime they must be held in detention homes and in the jails because of the lack of funds for support and to pay additional workers. With the present debt to be liquidated, unless friends help, it will be difficult to go forward with this much needed work. The girls at the institution at Peake are not criminals in the strict meaning of the term. In every instance they are girls who have not had the directing and restraining influences of a good home and have found them selfs drifting downward as a consequence. They are unfortunate rather than bad. The Industrial Home School for Wayward Colored Girls gives them an opportunity for development that they have never had, and which without the aid of such an institution they could never expect to have. It gives them a chance and gives them hope. Nothing thereof could be more constructive than this Home School. Tiger Day on March 3d will furnish an opportunity for every one to contribute to an important cause and to a very useful and necessary institution. Workers to sell the tags can be easily secured in the cities and larger towns. Persons in rural communities and in the smaller towns who desire to contribute their services by selling tags in their communities should state as much in writing to T. C. Erwin, Field Agent, Negro Organization Society, State Normal School, Petersburg, Virginia. ress, William Grayham, Ellen Fisher, Oliver Hill, Gordon Henderson, Charles Palmer, Arnosta Lesta, Robert Ramsaw, Robert Woodliff.

Mrs. Napier is a daughter of the late Hon. John M. Langston and the wife of Hon. James G. Napier, former register of the United States treasury. Another interesting point in her letter is that among the women affiliating with her organization are a group of the most noted white women in the United States, a few of whose names are as follows: Jane Addams, Zona Gale, Grace Abbott, Anna Strunsky Walling, Katherine Leckle, Rhetta Walling, Katherine Leckle, Rhetta Childs Dorr, Miss Fola La Follette, Florence Woolston, Sophronia Breckenridge, Esther L. Kohn, Mary Rozet Smith, Harriet P. Thomas and Anna O'Hagan Shinn. This is a gratifying list and ought to be sufficient to spur our people on in a mighty effort to save the home of Frederick Douglass and to make it the Negro's mecca for generations yet unborn. Every Negro boy throughout this land should be asked to give from 1 to 25 cents as his contribution to this object, and every Negro man and woman with any red blood in their veins ought for their own self respect to give at least $1. There should be a rivalry between the boys and girls of school age to see which can raise the largest subscription toward this fund. I believe our girls could raise $500 more than the boys because they have got more vim and push in them than some of our boys. The contest is on, and time, will develop whether we Negroes can do big things in a big way. Donglass was a great leader and a great man, but not ten Negroes in a hundred really know how useful and great he was. We don't read enough about our own leaders. --- MRS.

Talbert of Buffalo is president, is making a herculean effort to raise funds to lift the $15,000 mortgage off of the Douglass home at Anacostia, District of Columbia, and the disgrace off the race for which Mr. Douglass suffered insult and contumely at the hands of organized mobs, for its past neglect, apathy and failure to show its appreciation of the greatness of Frederick Douglass, by coming forward now as he came forward in the days when our forbears writhed in chains of slavery, and denounced in virile language the hell black crime of human slavery. These good women of the National Association of Colored Women have or are about to circulate the teachers and pupils of our Sunday schools and Jay schools throughout the United States urging co-operation with their association by the formation of Sunday school and day school leagues and that the teachers in the schools become members of these leagues and such adult members of the Sunday schools as may be interested in the project. Ten is the number required to form a league. These teachers and others organizing leagues are requested to offer their leagues as a Christmas present to the National Association of Colored Women. This can be done by sending at once for an application blank and the payment of 10 cents per year per capita. No other dues or assessments are allowed or expected. The money thus sent is to be used for postage, stationery and literature, "to make our voice heard," reads the circular before me. And "surely you will realize with us that we need the very closest cooperation during these days in which we are traveling through the wilderness. Our president has issued a call to save the home of Frederick Douglass. We want you to help us save that home.

THIRD NETS Press. Write BLASSTIC MAT Ellenotte INVIGORATE SILVER MARKET THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE DEATH OF LEWIS H. BERRY. Well Known Churchman and Government Employee Was Notable Figure. In the death of Lewis H. Berry, which occurred in Brooklyn In January, the race in that section of the north has lost one of its most stalwart members. Mr. Berry was a native of Clark county, Va. He was a member of a family noted for its ambition and thrift. The deceased was born a slave, but when freedom came he made good use of his opportunities to better his condition. Not long after striking out for himself Mr. Berry obtained employment in the government service and was assigned to the department of the east, United States army, as general messenger in the chief quartermaster's office for a number of years at Charleston, S. C.; Louisville, Ky.; San Francisco, Philadelphia and on Governors Island, New York, where he was serving at the time of his death. At this 'after place he had been stationed for the past twenty-five years. His serv- A. B. ice In the employ of the government extended over a period of forty-five years. By thrift and economy Mr. Berry was able to provide comfortably for himself and family. He owned properly in Philadelphia and Brooklyn. He was a man of steady habits, sterling character and great fidelity. As a member of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ in Brooklyn for forty years he rendered faithful and efficient service. He was chairman of the board of trustees for a quarter of a century and was a member and an official of the Concord Mutual Relief society of the above named church. He was a liberal contributor to the church and each of its twenty or more auxiliary societies. Mr. Berry was one of the founders of the Society of the Sons of Virginia in Brooklyn, which he served for many years as chairman of the board of directors. He was also a member of the Southern Beneficial league in New York city and a member of the Grand United Order of Moses in Brooklyn. Members of each organization to which he belonged paid glowing tributes of love and affection to his memory at the funeral services, which were held at the Concord Baptist church. The funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss, pastor of the Concord church, and N. B. Dodson delivered a brief eulogy, representing the Society of the Sons of Virginia. Mr. Berry's wife died in August, 1216, shortly after which he became ill and never fully regained his health. He was greatly beloved by his church and the societies in which he held membership. He is survived by a devoted daughter, Mrs. Charlotte A. Bell; a grandson, a foster son and a host of friends in many parts of the north and south. THE EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE. Militant Race Organization and Its Branches to Honor Douglass' Memory. The National Equal Rights league is urging the race everywhere to hold Douglass centennial exercises with local Equal Rights leagues or committees. The Boston meeting will be held in Faucull hall. It urges the race to push this matter and has issued the following appeal to the race and its friends: Hillburn, N. Y., Jan. 1, 1917. To All Colored Citizens and Bellevers In Justice; The National Equal Rights league, which at its ninth annual meeting held in Washington in October advocated reduction of southern representation, believes the re-election of President Woodrow Wilson to be illegal and unconstitutional, because the forty, or thereabouts, electoral votes of southern states based on disfranchised colored men are what re-elected him. They are in direct violation of the second clause of the fourteenth article of its federal constitution. The white people of the north are the ones especially defrauded by this intislawful count, and their leaders are calling this fact to their attention. It is well to let them realize this result of color disfranchisement. A contest is being urged, especially by Hon. W. E. Chandler and Hon. A. E. Pillbury. The colored citizens have an opportunity to help on this movement, however, by writing to United States senators and representatives before Feb. 1. BYRON GUNNER, President.

Saturday, January 27, 1917 OUR HEALTH TALKS AND FARM TOPICS. Beginning with this issue The Journal and Guide begins a department of health talks, dealing with personal hygiene, sanitation and preventive and remedial measures for the conservation of health. The department will be conducted by Dr. J. W. Pierce, of Dendron, Va., a progressive and highly capable young practitioner, whose situation in the heart of the most thickly populated rural district in the State eminently qualifies him to deal with the health problems that concern the masses of our people. About one-half of the thirty thousand readers of The Journal and Guide live in the rural districts, and this department, edited by Dr. Pierce, should be of great benefit to them as well as to the other half who dwell in the cities of Virginia and the Carolinas. Next week we will begin a department devoted especially to farmers and their wives and children. This department will be conducted by Prof. John D. Wray, Negro Boys' Farm Club Agent for North Carolina. These two new features are inaugurated in line with our purpose to make The Journal and Guide of more service as a race newspaper. It is our purpose to pursue at all times a constructive policy and this can be accomplished in better way than in promoting better health, better homes, better farms and better schools among our people. BETTER STREETS MOVEMENT. delivered residents of Norfolk will mail with delight the announcement that Postmaster John A. Lesner, president of the Tidewater Automobile Association is heading a movement under the auspices of that body to have the city improve the thirty odd miles of dirt roads in the city. It happens that these dirt roads are in the sections of the city where colored people live and own property, and to all of their appeals for some attention from the city authorities a deaf car has been turned. The members of the Tidewater Automobile Association are merchants and dealers whose teams have to use these dirt roads in the regular course of their business and it is no doubt a deep sense of self-interest that prompts them to take this matter up. Whatever the motive that prompts the movement we take it that the men behind it mean business and in the long run a lethargie city and its long-suffering colored inhabitants are bound to profit. The wage-earning women of the District of Columbia have perfected an organization and have high hopes of benefiting themselves in many ways. Miss Jeannette Carter, is president; Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman is secretary; and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, is treasurer. It is to be hoped that the women of Norfolk and other points, will see the necessity of doing in like manner. It is of the greatest importance that the wage-earning men and women of the race should organize for their own protection, but they do not seem to understand it in that way. The death of George Dewey, Admiral of the Navy, at his home in Washington, "the Hero of Manila" who broke the power of Spain in the Far East as Sampson broke it here in the Far West, in the Spanish-American War, last week, at the ripe age of 79 years, removes from human activity the most heroic character of the century. He did things. It is the person who does things, in low or high station, in a small or large way, who contributes most to the world's progress, and is missed and lamented by his neighbors, his fellow-citizens, Say. --- It is a pity that Harry K. Thaw did not succeed in committing suicide. The public eye is tired of having a degenerate like him in it. Question: Is Thaw Thaw! That is to say, was Judas Iscarlot Judas Iscariot? Echo, MOVEMENT OF AFRO-AMERICAN POPULATION NORTHWARD. One of the questions uppermost in the public mind at this time is the movement of large numbers of Afro-American wage-earners from the congested labor conditions of the Southern States to the open labor markets of the Northern and Western States. The opening in the Northern and Western States has been made because of the withdrawal of large bodies of alien workers called to the colors of their Nationals by the horrific war in Europe. It is an old saying and true that "What is one man's loss is another man's gain." It is also true of Nations. The spiritual and historical significance of these race movements is traced by Timothy Thomas Fortune in the January number of the A. M. E. Church Review. They are easily traced from the flood to the present time, beginning with the calling of Abram and his house out of Ur of the Chaldees to the calling of the African, as a marked people, to the United States, "to serve them which are no people," in 620. The main purpose, Mr. Fortune concludes, has been to remember the three sons of North and their families, whom their father cursed, whom God had equally blessed, in Canaan, who was not in the offending, but by the designation and curse of the grandfather, became, by retro-active reversion, the father of all the faithful. The spiritual theory is that prophecy works from the end back to the beginning. Mr. Fortune's contention is that the Africans were brought to this country, marked as to color. "to be servants of servants" (which means servants of serpents), and by their helplessness as slaves, to be forced to mingle their spirit and blood with that of the Indo-European inhabitants of the land, and thus ultimately to become a part of the National race type and coinheritors of "the new and better covenant" (government), promised by the hand of "Me Paul." The dispersion of the mixed Afro-American people from the South, and scattering them in the nation, Mr. Fortune concludes, is in line with "the divine (from the vine) plan" (land of Phut, or Put) of salvation (the salt of the nation in I of On, the God of the sun.) We Afro-Americans are a paterial as well as a material people, and the material, out of the natural, has been magnified by Christian people above the paterial, which is all wrong, (the paterial dominating the material necessarily). The average mind may not be able to grasp the meaning of spiritual phenomena in the thought and action of mankind, which appears to "Anna Dominate" human life in everything, but we can reasonably consider seriously the spiritual aspect of the migratory movement of Afro-Americans from South to North as presented by Mr. Fortune. --- The Afro-American Lawyers of Washington have organized a Bar Association. They have hung separately so long that we are glad they have decided to hang together. --- If the European War does not soon end we shall not be able to buy and pay for what we need to eat and drink. The high cost of living is a joke. Think of pork chops at 26 cents a pound. --- Put money in the savings bank. It is the way to "get ." But, "I have no money," you say. Perhaps. What, then! Get money! Get money! The best friend any person has in any time of trouble is the one dollar bill in the savings bank. --- The Dunbar high school dedication has just been celebrated in Washington with "great pomp and ceremony." The building cost $550,000, which the Federal Congress appropriated for the purpose. It is a far cry from the Jamestown slave pen, in 1920, to the Dunbar High School, in Washington, in 1917. New Enterprises Springing Up. There are many new projects on foot which will boom and give new life to business in the city. Among them, Messrs. W. J. Watts and C. H. Oliver have just purchased a one-ton Republic Motor Truck, capacity 3000 pounds, at a cost of $1,135.00. They are prepared to and are doing a profitable delivery business in the city. Messrs. Watts and Oliver are men of business, known to be reliable and trustworthy, and their services will be sought by all business men. You will find their ad. containing their number and 'phone in the next issue of The Journal and Guide. Mrs. Ella F. Dixon left Saturday morning for Joplin. Mo., where she will spend the winter with her husband, Mr. Dixon, who is a waiter at the Connor Hotel. She will stop in Philadelphia to visit her mother, Mrs. Jones; also in New York and Atlantic City. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Taylor of 723 Avenue C, are the proud parents of a baby girl—their first born. PUBLIC OPINION 1 A Governor Of Governors. "What can one man do?" is the question that mediocrity and timidity often ask as an excuse for not trying to satisfy the demands of duty. What "one man can do" in the face of tremendous odds was demonstrated not long ago by a New Jersey sheriff who dared the worst from an infuriated mob with the simple words: "You may kill me, but so long as I am alive, the law shall not want a champion." Kentucky has not had a good reputation for peace and order. Oftimes its high officials have been implicated in occurrences which conflicted with the traditions of a Commonwealth-reowned for chivalric sentiment. Rank lawlessness has prevailed because Galley Eleven those charged with its suppression had the coward's hesitation to assert and maintain the right against the wrong. But "one man" has proved fully equal to meeting and conquering the mob spirit which in some sections of Kentucky has for years overawed the representatives of law and the processes of justice. To Governor Stanley bolsters the honor of proving that the voice of authority counts for more than the tongues of a lawless multitude. There was threat of personal violence to the judge and sherrif of a Kentucky court unless there should be delivered to a mob on murder bent the body of a prisoner not yet convicted of the offense with which charged. The local officials temporized with the mob, but the Governor repaired to the scene of trouble, attended only by his secretary, and facing a thousand infuriated men he told them he had sworn that the laws of the State should be executed and that he would redeem that oath even if his life should be the forfeit. And he won out. When the chief magistrates of other States shall display the same brave devotion to duty the rule of the mob will be at an end. It is in the failure of public officers to meet and discharge their responsibilities that the rule of mobocracy finds its strength.—Virginian-Pilot. The Danish West Indies Purchase. This will add 188 square miles to the possessions of the United States. For these islands we are paying a higher price per square mile than for any territory purchased by the United States. The addition of the Danish West Indies will bring the total area of the United States up to 3,743,444 square miles, or about one-fifteenth of the surface of the earth, which amounts to 57,691,345 miles. Here is the way the United States has expanded territorially: 1783 - Original 13 states..... 892,135 1803 - Louisiana purchase..... 827,897 1819 - By treaty with Spain..... 13,435 1819 - Florida..... 58,666 1845 - Texas..... 389,166 1846 - Oregon..... 286,541 1848 - California, etc. from Mexico..... 529,189 1853 - Gadsden purchase..... 29,670 1853 - Alaska, from Russia..... 590,884 1898 - Hawaiian Islands..... 6,449 1898 - Porto Rico..... 3,485 1898 - Guam..... 210 1898 - Philippine Islands..... 114,958 1899 - Samoa..... 77 1901 - Additional Philippines..... 68 1904 - Panama Canal Zone..... 436 1917 - Danish West Indies..... 138 For what is known as the Louisiana Purchase we paid $15,440,000. The Gadsen strip cost $10,000,000. For Alaska we gave $7,200,000, for Florida $5,000,000, for the canal zone $10,-000,000, for Hawaii $4,000,000 through assuming that much of the public debt, and for Porto Rico, Guum and the Philippines $20,000,000. For the additional Philippine Islands we made a subsequent payment of $100,000, and the acquisition of Florida, the Mexican at the end of the Mexican war we gave $8,250,000 to that country. One unusual feature in American history is that on three occasions, on the acquisition of Florida, the Mexican possessions in our present west, and the Philippines, we soothed the feelings, or sought to soothe the feelings of the nations forced to relinquish territory, by a money balm. By the acquisition of the Danish West Indies the population of the United States will be increased about $5,000. The United States not only represents about one-fifteenth of the earth's territory, but about one-fifteenth of the earth's population. The territorial figures have been given. The population figures are: The United States, 111,000,000; total for the earth, 1,628,800,000—Commerce and Finance. FUNERAL OF MRS. MILLS the funeral of Mrs. Amy Mills, mother of Dr. J. E. Mills, who died at her late residence, 349 Bute Street, Monday as a result of shook from burns accidentally received, was held Wednesday from Bank Street Baptist Church, Dr. C. S. Morris conducting the ceremonies. Mrs. Mills was the widow of the lato William H. Mills and had been a faithful and active member of Bank Street Church for forty years. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of our brother Charles Hackney, who died January 29th, 1914. The golden gates were opened And a gentle voice said "Come" With farewell words unspoken Calmly entered home. Hot Springs, Ark.—I do not know what is going to happen about now. Legislatures are meeting everywhere, and of course there are to be new measures introduced, because every man wants to make a record, and then he wants to get back the next time or go up higher. It is to be regretted that in the places we suffer as a race, because they feel that it is a big thing to do something which will cause our people to have to take a back seat, and look front. I believe in looking ahead, and shall continue to do so, although there may be laws of proscription passed by those who are elected to look after the interest of all the people. Right here, permit me to say that it is marvelous that we are able to save as many of our boys and girls as we are. The door of hope is constantly closed in their faces, and they are told to go way back and sit down. They are told in almost every walk of life that is upward that they are not wanted and that it is intended only for the white boy's feet to trod, and for the black boy only to look up and wish him well. In most of the country if one should apply for position of messenger either for the Western Union or the Postal, I believe he would be locked up as a dangerous lunatic. He would not be given as much show for his liberty as Harry K. Thaw, but I do not mean to put him into this. If you want to black the messenger boy's shoes, you can get that job, but nothing higher. But by the help of God and by the inspiration furnished by the men and women who have broken through the line and have gone to the higher places, we are able to here and there inspire boys and girls to become thinkers. After all, it is the thinker that makes his way up in life and not the fellow who stands around and broods over his color or race. He tells race prejudice to stand aside as it is just as easy to dip the Atlantic Ocean dry with a teaspoon as it is to put a limit on brains. He goes on making good, and the world is glad to honor him because he is a thinker. We have many strong examples—Fredrick Douglass was a slave, and I am told that he fought with the dogs for food, but the world knows that Fred Douglass lived. I could mention, John M. Langton, B. K. Bruce, Major John R. Lynch, who lives today; Dr. R. R. Moton, Major Allen Washington; Dr. DuBois, Emmett J. Scott, C. N. Cabrier, I. T. Montgomery; E. C. Morris, of the National Baptist Convention; William H. Steward, editor American Baptist; John H. Murphy, editor Afro-American; Sol Johnson, Savannah, Ga.; W. G. Parks, D. D., Philadelphia; W. F. Graham, D. D.; Editor Young of The Journal and Guide, and there are many others I could name, and these men are furnishing inspiration to the young Negroes although many of them are dead, they still live. I have tramped over this country, and many things have claimed my attention from time to time, and it will be my aim to keep you posted, and here and there tell you what we are doing. I am going to look up men and women who are doing things. I am now trying to guess where I was when I wrote the last letter. I think I was in Kansas, and if so that was a trip worth while. In Salina, Kans, I was the guest of W. W. Shobe as I told you, and he made me sit up and take notice, for he is loved by all the people and no one would ever take him to be a white man. He has a kind of stove black color for his skin, and is nearly six and a half feet tall, and almost as large around as he is tall. But then, I am not going to talk about that. I met many able people in Salina, and I am glad that I had the pleasure of making the trip. Now from there, I found my way to Wichita, and from there to Nowata, Okla, then to Clarimore, Okla., and from there to Ft. Smith, then to Little Rock, and now I am here. I am sure you will recall some of the things I told you about this place when I was here last fall. People come here from all parts of the world to get cured of something. All kind of diseases come here to get into the water and be healed. There was a time that we could not get the baths only by taking the oath of a pauper, and then the Government bath house was opened to you, but the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, with S. W. Green at the head has purchased a bath house and now you can go into it as a man and be healed. Hon. J. T. T. Warren, one of the busiest men in the race, and a gentleman with it is in charge. He is one man that with all of his education and money, can be reached at all times and under all conditions. The poorest and the humblest man or woman in the country can get an audience with him and you don't have to reach him through a private secretary, but just take your turn. Miss Susie Bemett is stenographer there, and he has other bookkeepers and clerks, but I mention Susie because she is the daughter of Rev. J. R. Bennett, and because she is such a good writer, and is assisting her sister, Maggie, in taking care of her mother. A fine young woman. She is true to her mother. Sunday morning I went to Visitors Chapel, where I found the Rev. Dr. J. M. Sutton, preaching. He is some preacher. Then from there, I went to Roanoke Baptist Church, that fine building erected by Dr. J. H. Henderson, and met his congregation. I have spoken of the church before. I shall have to tell you about Dr. C. M. Wade, the great physician, in another letter, because I have said enough for this time as I see it now. I wish that I had just a little more time. But you will excuse me. I am going to be in Virginia in April as I see it now. C. J. HARDSTEW. PREVENTIVE AND REMEDIAL MEASURES for the CONSERVATION OF HEALTH By DR. J. W. PIERCE meas- you, it is quite possible to keep the air mies, of in rooms, and halls, and churches, etc. that in a fairly good condition commen- gence in surate with good health. This brings us to another important point in ventilation. That is, the method or how to ventilate. This has also been worked out on an elaborate and scientific basis, but which for practical purposes in a large per cent. are not conducive to practical utility. In large manufacturing establishments, colleges and universities, Federal and State buildings, etc., this system is observed with a marked degree of accuracy. But for the average and where ventilation is ignored, a more simple method is required and can be instituted by all. In next week's article we will discuss various methods of securing proper ventilation. Rocky Mount, N. C. The Rev. Sidney Edwards of Port Tampa, Fla., delivered an interesting lecture at St. James Baptist Church last Monday night. It was for men only. The movement inaugurated by the Rev. Mr. Nixon and others to organize Galley Six a colored Y. M. C. A. in the city seems to be gaining in favor. An enthusiastic meeting was held at the Zion Methodist Church last Sunday evening. The effort seems to have the favorable consideration of a majority of the substantial citizens. Many subscriptions have been taken, some of which have been paid. The temporary organization consists of the following gentlemen: Mr. L. L. Battle, president; Mr. R. K. Bryant, secretary; Dr. J. W. Bryan, treasurer; Mr. A. T. Spice, Dr. P. W. Burnette, Rev. T. M. Nixon, Atty. C. F. Rich, Mr. Jas. Sessom. There will be a great men's meeting at Mt. Zion Baptist Church next Sunday morning, at 11 o'clock. "Save the Men and you Save the Town" is the object as expressed by the committee, which consists of Dr. M. A. Tally, Dr. B. J. Burnett and Mrs. L. V. Mehane. These represent the Sunday School under which auspices the meeting is to be held. The A. M. E. Church is preparing a great Kittrell College Rally for next Sunday night. It is planned to be a Kittrell booster evening and a general educational rally. A special program of choice speakers has been arranged together with choice music by some of the city's best talent. The Rev. P. O. Jones is pastor. In accordance with suggestions sent out from the office of The Journal and Guide your correspondent will place emphasis upon general views rather than personal items, though the latter will have their place in the columns. With many people taking cold is a habit, but fortunately one that is easily broken. Take a cold sponge bath every morning when you first get out of bed—not ice cold, but a temperature of about $90^{\circ}$ F. Also sleep with your window up. Do this and you will seldom take cold. When you do take cold take Chamberlain's Cough Aspenb su 31 piz qa³ puu Akamay Mr. C. H. Oliver was in Richmond Friday and Saturday of last week in interest of Tidewater Hospital. Miss Esther Portlock was the delightful hostess for the Aquila Art Circle, January eighteenth. How Much Xmas Will You Need Next Year? TOMMY HENRY Among the many preventive measures instituted against the enemies of health, probably there is none that occupies a more important place in the list than proper ventilation. Especially is this true at this season of the year when the members of the human family are thrown so closely together because of atmospheric necessity, both in private and public gatherings. An apology on the part of the writer may be required by the general reading public for venturing to discuss a subject of such commonplace consideration, and the discussion may wound the finer sensibilities of some in whose hands this health talk may fall. But common observation daily on the part of one who finds himself face to face with this unhealthful situation, makes an apology, if one is forthcoming, negligible. It would not be overstretching the imagination if we would say that from 90 to 95% (per cent.) of gatherings in churches, school rooms, public halls, private assembling and even individual homes don't get the proper and necessary ventilation commensurate with good health. If this statement is accepted as being true, what does that mean? It establishes the fact that from 90 to 95 per cent. of the people during the cold months of the year at least, knowingly or ignorantly, subject their lives and health to conditions that predispose to diseases and disordered physical constitution. This huddling together in practically sealed rooms and halls during the winter months is based upon a false premise. This false premise is what you may designate as "cold-air phobia"; i. e. by admitting a normal current of fresh air into the room is to the unacquainted a drought of air which they interpret as pneumonia, "colds," "grip" and other consequent respiratory diseases. And as a result of the lack of the proper ventilation they put themselves into position to obstruct nature's efforts and contribute their share to the contracting of these same ailments which they attribute to fresh air currents. It is absolutely necessary for all classes of individuals to address themselves to this most important question, and conclude for themselves the good results derived from the observance of proper ventilation, and the bad results as a lack of it. It has been stated on authority as the outcome of painstaking investigation that each person should be provided with 1000 cubic feet of air space with a reasonable amount of air change from time to time in order to insure proper contents of air in keeping with good health. To put this in another way, it means that a room measuring 10 feet long, 10 feet wide and 10 feet high is required by each person to keep himself in the bounds of healthful atmosphere. This at first would seem to be quite a very large space to be occupied by one individual, and it doesn't seem reasonable for such a provision to be made for practical purposes in keeping the air of rooms free from vitiated elements during the hours of occupancy by more than one. But it does not destroy the fact that such an air capacity is necessary to maintain normal purified air which influences the health for good by the process of respiration. It does not take one person very long to make impure and vitiate the air of a room with the capacity 1000 feet. Now since it is impossible to afford each person this air space, how shall the people get the benefits of pure air when a few or many occupy such a small space? There is only one solution to the problem; and that is continuous ventilation with a constant change of air. With this kept before (Continued next week.) ROCKY MOUNT (By O. R. Pope.) The Habit of Taking Cold. Mr. Louis B. Tennette, who for the past few months has been connected with the mechanical department of the Guide Publishing Co., left Sunday morning for Tuskegee Institute, where he accepts a position as assistant instructor in the printing department of the school. Mrs. James Morris was hostess for the members of the Needle Craft Art Circle at her home on Queen street, Wednesday afternoon, January 17th. A very enjoyable time was spent. The Swastika Club met at the residence of Mrs. Marie Byers, on Bute street; Thursday evening, January 18th. Mrs. Byers proved a charming hostess and the evening was most delightfully spent. Mr. S. B. Morris, of 1109 Monroe street, was reported resting quietly from the injury received on January the eighth. His many friends wish for his speedy recovery. Mrs. Lucy Wiggins, who has been indisposed for the past two weeks is much improved and wishes to thank her friends for their kindness. The Woman's Exchange Art Circle met at the residence of Mrs. Dollie White on Ave. C., Tuesday afternoon, January 17th, and with Mrs. Russell on January 9th. Both meetings were profitably and enjoyably spent. Miss Ruth Williams is president. Mrs. Bridgers, mother of Mrs. Willie Carr of Fremont street, died Monday morning at the residence of her daughter. The Langston Reading Circle presented to their retiring president, Deacon G. W. Giddings, a handsome medal for the twelve years of service as president. The presentation took place at the First Baptist Church, Bute street, Sunday evening. The presentation speech was made by Mr. J. Archer, Jr. The yearly officers of the Sunday School and the B. Y. P. U. of the First Baptist Church were installed by the pastor, Rev. R. H. Bowling. The Alumni Association of the John T. West High School request the members to attend a meeting Wednesday, February seventh, at eight o'clock in the auditorium of the school. The meetings will be held every first and third Wednesdays in the month at eight o'clock. Benj. F. Etheridge, president; Miss Laura Williams, secretary. CORNER STONE LAYING. The corner stone laying of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Lindenwood, took place Monday, January 22nd, 1917 and was conducted by the Masonic Fraternity. The program was an interesting one and was orderly conducted from beginning to end. After the dedication services Mr. N. R. Floyd presented the master of ceremonies, Mr. J. H. Riddick. Miss Mary Dinkins was introduced to deliver the welcome address; response by Mr. Sylvester Williams. Music was furnished by our R. Y. P. U. choir and owing to the lateness of the hour we could not finish our program. Quite a lively collection was taken by Mr. Ed, Irrain, which resulted in $27.42 for the day. The ceremonies laying the stone which was conducted by the Masonic Order was very interesting and was enjoyed by the large audience. After these ceremonies were over all members of the Masonic Order and officers of visiting churches were conducted to a table which was laden with a well prepared dinner consisting of the best the rank affords including many dainties of the season of which all feasted to their hearts content and all seemed to enjoy themselves delightfully. Those who were active and rendered valuable aid in serving dinner to the visitors and made everything pleasant and enjoyable are as follows: Mrs. Annie King, Miss Ada Dinkins, Mrs. Mary Scott, Mrs. Edwards, Miss Clara L. Trotter, Mrs. Susie Taylor, Mrs. M. Bizzell. Committee of Arrangements were as follows: Messra. C. H. Taylor, Levi Trotter, N. R. Floyd, Sylvester Williams, Mr. Isaac Falkner, treasurer; H.

Mr. Miles Badham of Edenton, was in the city a few days last week. Mr. Badham is a trusted mechanic of the N. S. R. R. Co., which position he has held for years. Mr. Walter Worrell is very sick at his home on Euclid Ave. Mrs. Henrietta Sawyer, Boston Ave.. Mrs. Henrietta Sawyer, Boston Ave. is also on the sick list. Mr. John Thos. Lamb made a business,trip to Newbern, N. C.; Monday. The pulpit-at Corner-Stone Baptist Church was filled by Rev. Dennis Hogard Sunday. The rally at Mt. Lebanon A. M. E. Zion Church netted $1,100.00, breaking all previous records of a single rally. Dr. Geo. L. White and congregation are to be congratulated upon efforts put forth in this rally. They desire through the columns of The Journal and Guide to thank all who helped in any way: Mr. Jas. Arthur Lewis of this city, and Miss Incz Jones of Gates Co., were quietly married at the bride's home a few days ago. They will make Atlantic City, N. J., their future home, where Mr. Lewis is employed as wireless telegraph operator. Mrs. Joshua Bags and daughter, Vivian, returned home Friday from Gates County, where they spent about two weeks visiting parents. ASHEVILLE (By J. H. Hamilton.) Asheville, N. C.—Mrs. Laura Huggins, mother of Mr. C. C. Lipscombe, died at her home on Valley street, Monday, January 15th. She was 70 years old, and was a constant member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The funeral taken place Tuesday, January 16th, at 3 p. m. She leaves a husband, two sons and one daughter to mourn their loss. Mrs. Henry Geyer, wife of one of Asheville's most industrious young men, died in Indianapolis, Ind., last week, where they had been living for the past three or four years. The body was borshed home Saturday, January 20, and the funeral taken place Sunday, January 21st. Dr. E. L. Walkin, one of the leading Negro physicians of Knoxville, Tenn., is in the city greeting old friends. He was a resident of Asheville several years ago, but after finishing medicine he taken up practice in Knoxville, where he has had wonderful success. Mr. F. S. Campbell, who has for a number of years been running a little grocery store at the cor. of Valley and Eagle streets, is having his phace remodeled and will soon have one of the most up-to-date stores in the city run by a Negro. Mr. N. Murrough, one of our successful business men, says business is good with him—no wonder he looks after the living and the dead. He deals in real estate, runs an employment office and is one of Asheville's leading undertakers. He takes the first and last chance at you. When a stranger comes to the city he can give him employment, rent or sell him a house to live in and should he die he does the last thing that can be done for you. Mr. B. J. Jackson knows a good thing when he sees it. After reading several copies of The Journal and Guide he handed me his subscription for 1 years in advance—saying, "I have already got my moneys worth but just have it sent to me because it is one of the best Negro papers I have ever read." Mr. Jackson is the only Negro green grocerman in the city market. He caters to the best white people of the city. All the other Negroes, who once ran stalls in the market years ago, have been forced out by high rents, etc., but he is still very much there. It requires two delivery wagons and several wheel boys to deliver his goods while he, his wife, two daughters, and one son are kept busy waiting on customers and preparing orders to be sent out. Williams Invincible Concert Company, phyed at the Y. M. I. Saturday night, January 20th, to a small audience, for the fact it being Saturday night was against them, however they consented to stay over Sunday, and gave a free sacred concert to a crowd that packed the hall to the door. The performers consist of two blind men, one other young man and two ladies. The program was fine and every selection called for an encore. One of the ladies, Mrs. Johnson, sang rosy to the words f "Just as I am without one place," which was well rendered. They carry several different instruments which they use with much effect. Their closing piece Sunday was "Honor to de Lord," the house went wild over it. A silver offering was taken up which amounted to $20.00. We have been informed that Mr. E. W. Pearson, one of our leading real estate dealers, and organizer of the Asheville branch of the Negro Business League, is to be married this week. Not being able to get the facts will give full account in nxet week's paper. Holy City Quartette Won In the contest between the Holy City and Wynona Quartettes on January 8th, 1917 it is announced that the Holy City Quartette won the decision of the judges. The matter seems to be in dispute as the Wynona quartette also claims to have won the contest. This is denied by the Holy City.

Carter, Superintendent of Missions for the Baptist State Convention, delivered a most inspiring sermon at First Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, at 3:30 o'clock, January 21, 1917. Mrs. Ramah H. Greene left the city Monday for Richmond, Va., where she will visit her mother, who is ill. Mr. W. M. Granderson, one of the popular Pullman porters', whose run was from Richmond to Danville, has been recently promoted. His run now is from Richmond to Roanoke and Hagerstown, Md. Mr. Granderson has made many friends and also become quite popular during his run here. His many friends regret to hear of his change, especially the members of the Baraca Class of the Calvary Baptist Sunday School of which he was an active member. Mr. J. E. Bailey of Ross street spent last week at the Halcyon Private Sanitarium in South Boston, visiting his father, who underwent a serious operation, and who is improving slowly. Mrs. Martha J. Smith returned to the city last Friday after a flying trip to Philadelphia, Washington and Warrenton. Mr. Winslow Smith, son of Mrs. O. S. Smith, was run over by a large auto truck January 13th. He was hurried off to the General Hospital; but upon examination it was found that nothing could be done to save his life and he died in a short while after arriving at the hospital. His death was a great shock to his family and many friends. In Memory. In sad but loving remembrance of our dear son, Raymond Baxter Williamson, who entered into eternal rest January 14th, 1916.

Church Notes The attendance unday, January 21, was excellent considering the weather. At 11 a. m. Rev. Hatcher preached on "The Penitent Thief and the Awe-Stricken Centurion." The theme of this discourse gave us to understand that Love and the Cross are more powerful and effective than Law and Revenge. Our hearts were made to burn as Rev. Hatcher culigized the Blood of Jesus. The spirit was felt by the whole audience. At 3:30 Rev. Hatcher delivered his popular sermon and lecture on the Cause and Meaning of the Black Exodus at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Hampton, Va. Little Bennie Hatcher sang a sol. At night the pastor spoke on "Poor Gehazi." The effects of covetousness were plainly exhibited, and we still believe that honesty is the only principle and best policy. Our special revival services at 11 a.m. every Sunday are proving effective. So far we have added 7 members and been blessed with 12 conversions. Special evangelical services Sunday m. m., subject: "The Quest for Jesus"—John 12:21, 22. Bring your unconverted relative and friend, bring some backslider. At 3 p. m. the Twelfth Anniversary of our Sunday School will be celebrated. Special address, music, and representatives of all the city Sunday Schools will be present. Come up and enjoy a good program. The evangelistic services will continue through the month of February. No one need be without Jesus and a church home. Come thou with us. Bank Street Baptist Church Rev. S. W. Timms, D. D., of Franklin, Va., pastor of the Cool Spring Baptist Church, will preach at the Bank Street Baptist Church at both morning and evening services Sunday the 28th. VIRGINIA BAPTISTS VIRGINIA BAPTISTS BREAK THE SILENCE. Danville, Va., Jan. 22, 1917. Dear Brethren of the Virginian Baptist State Convention—Greeting: I call your attention to Luke 10:40, "If these should hold their peace, immediately the stones would cry out." This important passage of Sacred Scripture teaches the fact that there are causes and occasions when men and women of worth and value can not afford to hold their peace. And such was the case of the triumphant entry and such is the case of the coming Baptist Jubilee, July 10-15, 1917. And the theme of this discourse is "Break the Silence." And I am sure of voicing the sentiment of all the brethren in saying how we all have enjoyed the articles of all the brethren who have written about the Jubilee. And yet for the most part, the silence has not been broken, for ninety-nine per cent of our brethren have not said a word in the press about our work since we adjourned the convention in Norfolk last THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE May. And we are asking those brethren to break the silence. Undue silence is an indication of death in that it both leads to death and follows death. Brethren Break the Silence. Break the silence now. Break it now, now, now. Many colored Baptists of Va. and other states who would join in this mighty effort for God and humanity, have not even as much as heard that there is to be a Jubilee meeting next July. And those people ought to be informed and stirred about this the greatest occasion that ever engaged their attention as colored Baptists of America. Break the silence by writing an article about the Jubilee and put it in the press. You may have great plans in your mind in the interest of this meeting but if you hold your peace we will not know it and we will thereby suffer for a necessary inspiration that will mean much for success. Write in the Planet, write in the Christian Review, write in The Journal and Guide. Let us know of your interest, your zeal and what you have planned to do. Let us know what you think and how you feel about the work. Brethren break the silence first in your own bosom. Plan this matter in your mind. Then let your spirit take fire and let the fire burn. Then break the silence in your home. Talk with the members of your family about this thing as talked the fathers in Israel, about great religious occasions centuries ago. Every Baptist in our conventional territory should know all about this Jubilee meeting. Brethren break the silence in your churches. Let your members know what is about to happen in Baptist circles. If you need any information on this subject it can be easily had. Loyal Street Baptist Church of Danville, High St. Church and all the Convention churches of this city are catching on Jubilee fire. We are raising our money now. I am to bank some this week for the Jubilee. Brethren break the silence in Virginia, "from the mountains to the sea" and from the sea back to the mountains. Brethren of the Capitol city of our nation, break the silence. We expect you to be in evidence, at the Jubilee meeting of our conventions, as never before. Brethren of Maryland, break the silence in your cities and state. We expect to see the great and venerable Dr. Harvey Johnson, the young and strong Prof. Winston and other great lights from Maryland in July at Lynchburg. Brethren of Pennsylvania have largely broken the silence in their state but we want an article from a number of others of them in all parts of that great Commonwealth. Brethren of New Jersey, break the silence from east to west and from north to south in your state that is so rapidly growing in Baptist importance. New York brethren have spoken and we want them to speak again. We certainly are glad to hear and get the pledge of Dr. W. W. Brown and his great church. And so reliable is that great man of God, that we have already counted $500.00 from the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Brethren of Rhode Island and Connecticut break the silence. Let us hear from you. Brethren of West Va. break the silence please. You are our brethren and you have affiliated with this work and now do not leave nor forsake us. One and all, break the silence by sending in your pledges. Oh how we rejoice at the pledge of Fifth St. Baptist Church, Richmond, with her auxiliaries of $500.00. And now let us all take the following statement as our Jubilee Motto: "For the Baptists' sake I will not hold peace and for the Jubilee's sake I will not rest until the news thereof goes forth as brightness and the enthusiasm thereof as a lamp that burneth." When Thinking of Better "Buildings" Consult 722-Ave B., Nortalk, Vla. Phones: 8870-J and 2523-W Please send in your pledge at once. Let us all endeavor to break the silence. Yours for the interest in the Jubilee meeting, A. A. GALVIN, President, Va. Baptist State Convention, 232 S. Main St., Danville, Va. PEOPLE HONOR FATHER UNCLES PEOPLE HONOR FATHER UNCLES Baltimore.—The recent celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Father Charles R. Uncles' ordination to the Roman Catholic priesthood was an unusually brilliant event in the religious circles among our people in this city. St. Francis Xavier Catholic church was the scene of the most interesting series of services perhaps in its history. The occasion was significant of the growing tendency of the race toward broad mindedness in religious affairs without regard to denominational affiliation. Members of the various Protestant churches mingled with the great throng at the celebration as freely as did members of the Roman Catholic church. The anniversary sermon was delivered by the Rev. Joseph Warling. Among the noted prelates at this service were Bishop O. B. Corrigan and Mgrs. Foley and Starr. C. M. Dorsey P. FATHER CHARLES R. UNCLES. was chairman of the committee having charge of the arrangements for the civic exercises, which were held at St. Peter Claver's hall. Addresses were delivered by Messrs. Dorsey, Thomas A. Johnson, W. M. McCard, Dean William Pleckens of Morgan college, Hon. Harry S. Cummings, Father James J. Nally of St. Peter Claver's church and others prominent in the civic and religious life of the community. The presentation address to Father Uncles was made by Frank A. Simmons, treasurer of the local committee. Mr. Simmons said that the token of esteem which he had been requested to present to Father Uncles was from both Catholics and Protestants; that it was a purse containing $700 as a small gift from those whom he had the honor of representing. In accepting the gift Father Uncles in part said: I thank you most heartily for your cordial greeting and extraordinary generosity. This testimonial comes as the elixim of thousands and thousands of evidences that the friends of my youth are still my friends. For this I thank God, and I thank you. Blessed be he that has many friends, ever has no dollars; most unhappy he that has no friends; he is a millionaire. How grateful, then, and how happy must he be, now that I have many dollars and friends galore! Twenty-five years a priest of God! The mere announcement suggests a refrain which, like most good music, has notes of sadness as well as of joy. Though all anniversary remind one of the rapid march of time, of the gradual approach to the bourne whence no traveler returns," yet, as I have health and strength, as my mind is strong and alert, as my glad and young as ever, I ought and I do give thanks to God for these and other blessings innumerable. After twenty-five years! The meeting of intimate friends, the congratulations of loving and helpful colonizers, the remembrance of twenty-five years of earnest labor and dutiful service, the hope of living yet longer to help others along the straight and narrow path, these facts, I thought thoughts and inspirations, not but fill my heart with gladness and gratitude. For all that has been commendable in my life and in labor I here and now gracefully give credit to Almighty God, to my parents and to all my teachers in all the schools that I have attended, especially to my teachers in St. Joseph's and St. Mary's seminaries. And I give unstinted praise and unqualified thanks for all the teachers through those zealous and efficient missionaries, the fathers of the Society of St. Joseph. Nor am I unmindful of what I owe to you, my dear friends. Gladly, therefore, do I seize this opportunity to assure you of my heartfelt appreciation of all that I owe to your sympathy and friendship and encouragement. Yet I bag one more favor, a frequent remembrance in your prayers. Ask Almighty God to strengthen me, to protect me, to make me so serviceable as to win his favor and deserve your approval. God bless you. God bless all my friends and benefactors. "FEMALE HELP WANTED" A rare opportunity; comfortable living; home sewing, plain cloth seams. Any sewing machine, Steady. No canvassing.

WILBERFORCE TO BROADEN WORK WILBERFORCE TO BROADEN WORK In outlining the work for the new year, 1917, and speaking of the urgent news of the Wilberforce (O.) university Dr. W. S. Scarborough, president of that noted institution, says in a letter to the New York Independent that it is the purpose of Wilberforce university to erect a science building as a memorial to the late distinguished editor of the Independent, naming it the "William Hayes Ward Science hall." We feel that no better tribute could be paid to his memory by the [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. DR. W. S. SCARBOROUGH. Negro. He virtually devoted his life to the interests of the race. By voice and pen he aided our emancipation, uphold our rights and denounced our wrongs, advocated our education and encouraged our ambitions. He inspired us with hope for a future free from prejudice and proscription. Dr. Ward was also a personal friend of Willberforce university and of Bishop Daniel A. Payne, the chief of its founders. Whatever pertained to its welfare deeply interested him. Therefore he noted with deep regret on a visit some four years ago when he addressed us during commencement week that our quarters for science teaching were totally inadequate. Every one who knew Dr. Ward knows what a keen interest he took in all lines of scientific endeavor and research. It seems to us, therefore, very fitting that we strive to build for our great need a monument to him that will not only show our grateful appreciation as a people of his labors in our behalf, but that will also have a close connection with the things in which he took so great delight. It is equally fitting that the oldest Negro school in America should be the one to put forth this effort and that its campus should be the spot where such a memorial shall stand. Dr. Ward was always quick to recognize a real need, and there is no question that a science building is one of the greatest needs of Wilberforce university today. All its class work along scientific lines is greatly hampered by lack of room for work and for even the proper placing of the laboratory equipment for which friends are making arrangements to provide. Our work planned for advance study demands the new building, as does the constantly increasing work in certain industries and in agriculture. We cannot even make the most profitable use of our small but well selected museum because it cannot be properly arranged in our present crowded quarters. Thus we find very important work suffering at every point because of needed enlargement. Wilberforce university, because of its strategic situation, its environment and many admirable facilities, is one of the strongest centers of Negro higher education in the country. Its work is constantly growing. It provides all around training in Literary courses, teachers' training and vocational courses, of which there are seven. With forty-one instructors and 500 students, it is serving most acceptably in a wide field of Negro education. It is the oldest institution of its kind in the United States, as I have just said, dating as far back as 1847, when was founded the Union seminary, a manual labor institution for the education of colored people, and which was subsequently merged into Wilberforce university. It was named in honor of the great English statesman and benefactor of the colored race, William Wilberforce. It was incorporated in 1836, and its first board of trustees included Governor Salmon P. Chase, who at his death left it $10,000. Major General O. O. Howard. Major General Saxton, Dr. Bellows, Dr. Edward Everett Hale, Frederick Douglass and other men of prominence have served as trustees of this institution. Mr. Andrew Carnegie recently gave $17,500 toward the erection of a $50,000 building for girls, which with the $20,000 already donated by him for a library building made his total contribution to Wilberforce university $37,500. It has today an enrollment of 500 young men and women, from nearly all the states of the Union, from the islands of the sea and from Africa, and needs still larger quarters for them. We are therefore sending this appeal to the Independent, to the readers of this stanch and fearless paper, to the friends of Negro education generally and to the friends of Dr. William Hayes Ward in particular, asking their alpin in accomplishing our purpose. The cost of this proposed building will be $40,000. We beg correctly that our of their philanthropic love of humanity, out of their interest in education as the saving and uplifting power of a nation as well as a race and out of their friendship for and pride in the master mind that has gone to its reward our friends and Dr. Ward's friends will assist us in accomplishing our purpose. The memory of one who delighted in service will thus be perpetuated in an institution whose aim is service. Hamilton Holt, editor of the Independent, New York, throws the weight of his influence toward the efforts of Dr. William Sanders Scarborough to raise funds for the erection of a suitable science building at the Wilberforce university. Mr. Holt says: "The independent is glad to publish the appeal to its readers from the president of Wilberforce university. I may add that I have visited Wilberforce, know its president well and can vouch for the good work being done there for the elevation of the Negro. "While the university maintains a very good industrial department, it has always stressed the higher education of the Negro, believing its greatest service lay in training its students for professional life and for the leadership of the race. I have often heard Dr. Ward speak with enthusiasm of the work Wilberforce was doing, and I am sure that any of his friends who feel like responding to President Scarborough's appeal will be aiding a genuinely worthy project." WIDE SCOPE OF HAMPTON'S WORK WIDE SCOPE OF HAMPTON'S WORK The rapid growth of the Hampton school has been made necessary by the fact that hundreds of applicants have been refused each year for lack of room and by the insistent demands made upon the school for industrial and agricultural leaders, as well as for teachers for the rural schools, says Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of the Hampton (Va.) institute. The enlarged number of students has filled the dining rooms to overflowing, and the increased interest which the community takes in all the activities of the school has brought so many to the lectures and the Sunday evening gatherings that the present assembly room in Cleveland hall is very much overcrowded. For this reason it has seemed best to the trustees to enlarge the plains of the Ogden Memorial auditorium so that it will seat 2,400 instead of the 1,600 originally provided for. The new auditorium will make it possible to use Cleveland Hall chapel for an additional dining room and so solve another serious problem. The increased size and the rapid rise in the price of materials, however, will almost double the cost of the building. One hundred thousand dollars has already been raised, and at least $50,000 more will be needed for its completion. The building is to be erected as a memorial to Robert C. Ogden, for many years president of the school's board of trustees and a lifelong friend of the founder of Hampton institute and of the Negro and Indian races. The auditorium, however, is not only to commemorate Mr. Ogden's service to Hampton, but is also to be a monument perpetuating the appreciation of the south for his assistance in developing its educational resources. The southern education board in its Ogden memorial booklet said: "Through the conference for education in the south he touched the great hearts of the north and south and put upon the nation's conscience a universal need. Not by persuasion, not by fanatical insistence, but by the contention of his own personal devotion, he rallied men from every section, from every walk and station in life, rich and poor, high and lowly, white and black, to the cause which he advocated." Thus the Ogden auditorium at Hampton is to be a national monument, and people of all classes, races and sections have already contributed generously toward its building. Here the Negro and Indian young men and women who are preparing for their life work will have an opportunity not only for lectures and concerts, but for the visual instruction, now so valuable, through stereoticon and moving pictures. Large choruses of the people from the community will gather here. About 20,000 visitors pass through the school grounds each year, and this building will speak to them of Hampton's efforts at race adjustment through mutual understanding, sympathy and helpfulness. Here will gather people of the white and African and Indian races to talk over their problems, which, after all, are worldwide problems, and educators who come from every continent and climate to study Hampton's methods will meet with them. In the center of Hampton's campus, where beautiful trees as old as the school itself have been sacrificed for it, a great excavation makes a mute appeal to the friends of Mr. Ogden, of Hampton, of the races represented there and of the south, to meet this great need of the present and future.

THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE TO PRESERVE WOOD SILOS. To prospective purchasers of stave silos the United States department of agriculture gives the following hints: Of the various preservatives in general use a good grade of coal tar creosote is very satisfactory for preserving timber. Superficial methods, however, such as applying with a brush, dipping in the preservative or spraying, are not sufficient. By far the best method is to have the staves treated with the preservative in a closed retort under pressure, and when so treated, they should last indefinitely. Those considering the purchase of treated silos should investigate the methods used and, if greatest permanence is desired, should choose only material that has received a thorough pressure treatment. MULCHING STRAWBERRIES. An Essential Feature For Success Is Winter Protection. Winter mulching of strawberries is one of the essential features for success, for strawberries are only semi-hardy and suffer from winter injury just the same as clover and wheat, writes M. N. Edgerton in the Orange Judd Farmer. One phase of this injury is caused by the heaving action of frost on all moist soils, especially clayey types, which tends to lift plants, tearing loose much of their fibrous root system and leaving the crown exposed to injury. Another injury occurs when the ground is frozen solid and the crown and foliage are exposed to bright winter sunshine. The thawing and freezing of the foliage cause it to shrivel and often result in the death of plants. Snow would make an ideal covering, but it cannot be depended upon. Even in attitudes where snow falls in generous quantities sweeping wind oftentimes leaves the ground bare or so nearly so that the first few sunny days of early spring leave the crowns of the plants exposed to the injury. When establishing the field of plants advantage may be taken of the shelter afforded by wood lots, stretches of timber and hedges, which check the winds, permitting the snow to remain as it falls and holding any drifting snow. If a covering of straw is spread over a blanket of snow the snow will be out of reach of wind and will be protected from the sunshine. In any event the snow covering should be used only as a supplementary covering, even under the most favorable conditions of sheltering belts. Improved Fence Wire Stretcher. An improved fence wire stretcher has been designed which an operator can adjust as to position with one hand while with the other he is rotating the drum on which the wire is wound. The drum is supported by a rectangular iron frame, one side of which is slightly concave. An adjacent side projects at a right angle to the curved side, thereby forming a recess ```markdown ``` which is designed to be fitted against the fencepost to which wires are to be stapled. By means of a chain suitably attached to the frame the machine is firmly anchored to the post. The drum, which is turned by a crank, has a toothed head, which, with a pawl, prevents its rotation backward. Wires to be tightened are fastened to a chain which extends through a slot in the side of the frame and is fastened to the drum. Extending upward from the side of the frame normally farthest from the post is a handle, with which the position of the stretcher can be shifted as desired during preliminary winding. For work close to the ground the crank handle may be removed and the drum resolved by use of a bar inserted successively in holes in the drum's axle.—Popular Mechanics. Acid Phosphate and Soil Acidity. Contrary to common opinion that acid phosphate increases soil acidity, this material has not been found to make the land more acid in field and laboratory tests at the Ohio experiment station. Yields of clover on Wooster soils treated with acid phosphate were larger last season than on soils receiving no fertilizer. Unlimited plots to which complete fertilizers were applied with phosphorus in bonemeal and basic slag in a five year rotation produced more clover than soil similarly treated, except that acid phosphate carried the phosphorus. However, lime applied on the bonemeal plot produced larger, effects than on the one receiving acid phosphate. Laboratory tests at the experiment station have likewise indicated that acid phosphate does not have any important influence in increasing soil acidity.

The Federal Trade Commission is an agency; competent and equipped to decide just such a question as this. The country wants ships and they should be built in the quickest possible time. We therefore repeat an offer which in our original bid for battle cruisers we made to the United States Government: The Bettlehem Steel Corporation is prepared to undertake the building of the battle cruisers included in the Government's naval program UPON ANY BASIS WHICH THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION SHALL, after examination of the facts, determine to be fair.

Just as a good fertilizer will nourish the soil and produce a rich crop of wheat or corn, so will the proper remedy create a healthy condition of the scalp, and promote the growth of the hair. QUINADE, made by the SEEBY DRUG CO. of New York City, stimulate and nourishes the roots of the hair, thereby inducing a healthy growth. It makes the hair soft and smooth. Secby's QUINASOAP, the ideal shampoo, is an excellent aid to QUINADE in creating a healthy condition of the scalp. Both articles may be obtained from your druggist or dealer, at 25c each, or will be sent direct by the manufacturer on receipt of price. Write for a sample package of QUINADE, mentioning this paper. Bad Habits. Those who breakfast at eight o'clock or later, lunch at twelve and have dinner at six are almost certain to be troubled with indigestion. They do not allow time for one meal to digest before taking another. Not less than five hours should elapse between meals. If you are troubled with indigestion correct your habits and take Chamberlain's Tablets, and you may reasonably hope for a quick recovery. These tablets strengthen the stomach and enable it to perform its functions naturally. For sale by all Druggists. TITUSTOWN TITUSTOWN (Mrs. Adlena Hollomon.) Mr. R. T.

OUR NEW HOME: The First Specially Built and Equipped Newspaper Plant Owned by a Colored Paper in the United States M. Newly Equipped for a Larger Business Usefulness THE removal of the plant and offices of The Guide Publishing Co., Inc., to its own, permanent home has been completed and the production of Guide Quality printing has resumed. But we have done more than merely move machinery and other equipment to more suitable quarters: our plant has been reorganized in every department--a reorganization based upon needs to be of larger business usefulness to users of printing. Regarding what has been said by Rev. Dr. William H. Moses during the series of sermons preached by him at the First Baptist Church, I desire a few expressions through The Journal and Guide. I wish to say that behind the able declarations and truths laid down to us in his sermons is emphasis born of interest and conviction. That the need of all needs in the Christian Church today is the power of Penticost. May he whose presence and power is the subject of these little remarks be instrumental in bringing to bear the crowning day for which we toil and pray. Modern equipment has been installed, methods have been revised, workmen have been specialized and a genuine Service Department has been added for your convenience in prepraing matter for printing. I never desired or wished to pastor any church though I have. Closing with this invitation I wish to say, Whoever is on the Lord's side let him come. I am ready to go and help take this city and elsewhere for God. Location 364 E. Queen street. Our Ample Facilities The Service Department ROANOKE, VA.
