NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK To Be Observed April 22-28, 1917 VOLUME XVII. NO.29 URGE RAISING FOOD CROPS URGE RAISING FOOD CROPS GOVERNMENTS WANTS FARMERS TO PLANT AN ABUNDANCE OF FOOD STUFFS. Food Is a National Problem Of Defense, As Important As Men, Guns, Ships and Cannon. Business Men Must Co-operate With Farmers. Dr. Bradford Knapp, chief of the United States Co-operative Extension Work in Agriculture and Home Economics, has issued the following statement to farmers and business men of the country: For nearly three years I have done my best to warn you to prepare for the present emergency. For years we have tried to encourage diversification in the South as a basis for greater safety, both agricultural and economic. Since the war began in Europe we have urged safe farming. When prices were low you did well and made great progress. When cotton went to 18 cents and over you made large profits because of your progress in safe farming, but some were tempted to go back to cotton. In common with many other men, I have tried to warn you of that danger. Cotton has not been high but has only increased in somewhat less proportion than food and feed. Now the crisis is here! This great nation must arouse herself for a mighty struggle for liberty. People without food and armies without rations are conquered before they can begin to fight. Our greatest safety now lies in food production and in saving the waste products. If the South is to be strong she must have food. If this country is to be strong she must be well fed and have an abundance to sustain those friendly people who are even now fighting our battles for liberty and democracy. Transportation may be disturbed. Your own defense requires you to produce and conserve your food supply. Don't fail now! It is a national problem of defense as important as men and guns, ships and cannon. Business men, if seed is short canvass the situation like patriots and get the seed for farmers. Arrange the credits. Furnish farmers seed corn, soy beans, cowpeas, velvet beans, peanuts, sorghum, etc., at cost. See that all things necessary to help farmers are done. Of course, we must produce cotton, but with a moderate acreage and a good season there will be enough. Do not sacrifice acres of food to increase your acreage of cotton. Look ahead! Get the warehouses, the feed mills, shellers, cleaning stations, creameries, packing plants, etc. ready. You must do your share and co-operate with farmers. They must do their share and tend the crops faithfully. Farmers, in your unions, clubs and other organizations, resolve to use the best methods now. When the nation faces a crisis we must have the best farming in its history. Labor is short, hence the best tools and all labor-saving devices must be used to make it possible for every farm laborer to cover as much ground as possible and do the most efficient work. Farm women and girls have important work to do in the garden, the orchard, in raising poultry, and especially in canning, preserving and conserving our food supply. Your county agent and home demonstration agent become more important officers now than ever before. Your State Extension Division at the Agricultural College will have still more important duties. Look to these for counsel and advice in this new burden of extra work. The county agent will, without doubt, have new duties and responsibilities in the near future. Farmers and business men, save the breeding stock. Don't sell cows, heifers, mares, sows, gilts, ewes or hens. Keep them for breeding. If the breeding stock is sold where will you get the means to supply the meat of this country? Let us forget all past difficulties and join in a mighty effort to feed the South. What can you do in the next sixty days? PATRIOTIC PARADE MAY 1ST. Norfolk Emancipation Association will have a grand patriotic parade May 1st. All colored organizations whether connected with the Association or not are invited to take part in this parade. Good music will be in line. The public school children, principals and professional men of all vocations are asked to join in and make it a grand occasion. The parade will form in Bute street and move off at 3 p.m. After the parade all colored citizens are invited to Booker T. Washington High School to hear addresses from Judge Thomas H. Willcox, Ex-Justice Barron, Atty. Walter Lamb, Rev. F. W. Williams, and veteran Jas. P. Carter. All associations will report to Chief Marshall Ackiss on time. Each pastor is requested to mention this occasion to his congregation and urge them to take part in this demonstration. Any desired information will be given by G. W. Giddings, D. E. Ackiss, Prof. D. G. Jacox, Jas. P. Carter, Maj. Braxton and F. L. Carter. Norfolk Emancipation Association—G. W. Giddings, president; A. E. White, secretary; F. L. Carter, reporter. The Journal and Guide 'LION AND MOUSE" MADE DECIDED HIT Play Presented By Local Talent In Truly Artistic Style. An audience that filled the entire seating capacity and standing room of the auditorium of Booker T. Washington High School was unanimous and loud in praise of the manner in which the local cast headed by Mrs. Eugene Diggs and directed by Mr. J. J. Sethapp and Chuck Kley's celebrated play, "The Lion and the Mouse," last Monday night. There was nothing evident to indicate that the players were not professionals except the local setting. Mr. Stith as "John Burkett Ryder," and Miss Eliza Coppage as "Shirley," played the leading parts in a most creditable and capable manner, displaying artistic ability seldom seen in amateur ranks. Mrs. Diggs, as "Mrs. John Burkett Ryder"; Mr. C. A. Palmer, as "Rev. Pontifix Deetle"; Miss Mayme Diggs, as "Kate Roberts"; Miss Mabel Moseley, as "Mrs. Rossmore"; Prof. Harvey Robinson, as "Judge Rossmore"; Dr. S. F. Coppage, as "Judge Scott"; Mr. Thomas Winborne, as "Senator Roberts"; Mr. D. Gatewood Thomas, as "Jefferson Ryder"; Mr. Garnett Deloach, as "Jorkins"; and Miss Lucille Douglas, as "Jane Deetle" each displayed artistic ability of a high order, while Miss Bessie Burke, as "Miss Nesbit," and Miss Mayme Diggs, as "Eudoxia," demonstrated that it requires brains to play the reverse of that mental endowment. Mr. Ralph Jones distinguished himself in the perfectly delightful manner in which he depicted the "blooded" Briton as "Hon. Fitzroy Bagley." Mr. David King was stage carpenter for the production and his mechanical skill added to the facility with which the play was presented. The patronage and cordial reception accorded the play were highly gratifying to Mrs. Diggs and her associates. This play will be repeated at the Colonial Theatre Monday night, May 7, for the benefit of St. Joseph's Catholic Church. KEEPING GOOD FEELING INTACT Leading White Citizen Expresses Confidence In Loyalty Of Colored Americans Some days ago when talk of German plots to stir up strife between Southern Negroes and the United States government was going the rounds and many people were skeptical as to the real attitude of colored Americans, Attorney J. M. Harrison sent a communication to the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch emphatically denouncing the rumors and insinuations of German intrigue. As an expression of confidence in the loyalty of colored Americans upon the part of the best Southern white citizens we quote the following from a letter to Mr. Harrison from Mr. W. F. Robertson, president of Hampton Roads Paper Company and one of Norfolk's most prominent citizens: "I read with a great deal of pleasure your splendid and common sense letter published in the Ledger-Dispatch yesterday. Such sentiment as expressed in your letter is calculative to do great good. I have never given the report that our colored friends would take sides with the Germans and cause us any trouble any concern whatever. I have always had too much confidence in them to believe that they would be guilty of anything so contemptible and mean. "The two races have been living together in the South too long to separate now in this crisis. We are dependent one upon the other and I believe it is ordained of God that we should live together in peace and harmony. The white people are fond of the colored people and I believe the same thing can be said of the colored people. "Occasionally someone who has some selfish motive in view tries to create a feeling of dissension, but with all their contemptible efforts I do not believe there will ever exist between the two races in the South anything but the very friendly relations. Personally, I long for the old days when the old back mummy in the home sang songs to the children around the kitchen fireside and told them ghost stories. However, they seem to have gone, never to return again." A CORRECTION. In the advertisement of Mr. A. E. Drake, real estate dealer of Newport News, which appeared in the Virginia State Negro Business League Bulletin, Mr. Drake's name appeared E. A. Drake. His initials are "A. E." instead of "E. A." Mr. Drake is one of Newport News' most progressive colored business men and has made quite a success in the real estate business. In justice to Mr. Drake we gladly make this correction.

C., who is taking a treatment at the Norfolk Sanitarium, Dr. Cummings' hospital, is improving and getting on fine to the delight of his many friends. THE NEWS 300 NEGRO EMIGRANTS DIED DURING THE WINTER MONTHS PHILADELPHIA SEGREGATION FOLLOWING NORTHERN MIGRATION Chicago Real Estate Board Adopts Plans For Legalizing Proscriptive Measure On Account Of Increase In City's Negro Population From South—Pittsburg Facing Serious Housing Problem. In the course of this series of articles dealing with the migration movement The Journal and Guide has several times expressed the opinion that segregation and unwholesome living conditions would follow wherever any considerable number of the immigrants settled in the North, and that the members of the race who are seeking through migration to escape these disadvantages in the South would eventually meet them in more aggravated form in the North. If we had any real faith in the philosophy that transplanting the Southern Negroes in the North through the medium of a general unorganized exodus would remove the cause or cure the effects of their problems we would have a different view of the migration movement. The root of the American race problem is race prejudice, and race prejudice is a human problem with no geographical boundaries. We are not defending nor excusing race prejudice anywhere, North or South. Race prejudice is indefensible anywhere, and Southern people, both white and black, especially white, are learning that it is unwise to cultivate it, and especially it is unwise at this time when so many questions of vital moment are confronting the nation, requiring the best patriotism and the best common sense of all the people in their solution. Normal Movement Not Injurious. The normal movement of members of the race from one section of the country to another, or from the thickly populated black belts of the South to the North would not to any noticeable extent affect the political, social or economic status of the race. When a growing plant is pulled up the roots generally come with it, and we are finding that the same principle obtains wherever members of the race are transplanted in the North in large numbers. The roots of their political, social and economic problems follow them just as surely as night follows day. Chicago Leads In Segregation Movement. The first evidence of the above truth manifested itself in the announcement a few days ago that in Chicago, which for months has been inviting the Southern Negroes to "come up out of Egypt," the real estate board had launched a movement to bring about municipal race segregation. The net result will be the exploitation of the thousands of new Negro families in a manner that will fasten upon them the weight of an economic pressure which they cannot long endure. Unless the Supreme Court interposes and places the ban of illegality upon the iniquitous segregation ordinances colored people"fir Chicago will find themselves confronted with the same form of proscription that they left the South to evide. Northern Cities Unprepared To Care For Great Influx. In commenting upon the migration movement the Baltimore "Afro-American Ledger" says editorially: "One of the proplems, if there were no others, is the housing of this great population in already congested districts, in almost every large city in the country. This influx must be cared for in some way and there is hardly a city in the country ready to take care of an increase in population numbering hundreds and in some cases thousands. In ordinary times the increase is gradual and preparations can be made to take care of this increase, but where there is a sudden influx of hundreds there is at once a problem." Living Conditions In Pittsburgh. "The leaderless masses," going where they can find better living conditions, is the designation often applied to the migration movement by zealous adherents of the exodus, Pittsburgh, Pa., is a typical Northern industrial city, and one which has afforded for many years employment to thousands of colored men. An idea of the housing conditions in Pittsburgh from an article which appeared in the current issue of the Pittsburgh "Courier," in which it is stated that the colored masses were compelled to "live in shacks with no modern conveniences." "But our chief problem," says the "Courier," "is the accommodation afforded the Negro . . . Shacks unfit for cattle are occupied by Negroes. In some instances families with several children are housed in quarters reckoning with filth and veritable hotbeds for disease; where rodents and verwin lose their natural timidity for man and scamper about with bold assurance. Here are bred the germs of tuberculosis and other diseases with the propagation of which the Negro—given an ordinary chance to live—is unfairly charged." The Remedy For Existing Conditions No one who is at all familiar with conditions in the South can deny that the Negro has been unjustly and even brutally treated in the South, and especially in the far South. With lynching, disfranchisement and segregation in combination with the iniquitous crop lein laws the race has had almost insuperable obstacles to combat, in spite of which we have made almost superhman progress since emancipation. Lynching is beginning to react upon the lynchers, and we are approaching a new awakening of the public conscience in a mighty protest against this diabolical sin of the South in which practically every influential Southern paper has joined during the past few months; the United States Supreme Court has declared the "grandfather clause" unconstitutional, and in most of the Southern States where it "operated to disfranchise the Negro nothing, prevents him from ex- FIELD SECRETARY JOHNSON MADE SPLENDID ADDRESS Twenty-five New Members Added To Local Branch Of National Association For Advancement Of Colored People. A representative audience was present Tuesday night at the meeting held at the First Presbyterian Church under the usurpices of the Norfolk Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and at the conclusion of the program twenty-five new members were added to the local branch. The feature of the meeting was an address by Field Secretary James Weldon Johnson of New York. Mr. Johnson discussed in the course of his address the economic, social and spiritual phases of the Negro migration movement, especially as it related to the far South; the scope of the work that is being done by the National Association for the suppression of lynching and race segregation and emphasized in eloquent terms the loyalty of Negroes to the American flag in the present war crisis. Secretary Johnson was introduced in a very appropriate speech by Rev. D. F. White, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. Following Mr. Johnson's address Dr. A. B. Green of Berkley Ward told in a stirring address of what had been accomplished in his ward and in Princess Anne County for the improvement of sanitary conditions through co-operation on the part of citizens. The following new members were added to the Norfolk branch: Mr. J. Eugene Diggs, Mrs. A. E. Banks, Prof. E. P. Southall, Miss Milred A. Dudley, Mr. W. J. Scott, Mr. Eugene West, Dr. W. Moore, Mr. E. H. Moseley, Dr. J. Hamilton Francis, Mr. H. C. Young, Rev. J. Sas. Hatcher, Mrs. S. E. Casper, Rev. R. J. Lungston, Prof. D. C. Jacox, Prof. J. Riley Dungee, Miss Loise Shepard, Mr. Albert Bainns, Mr. F. Greenleaf Kussell, Rev. D. F. White, Miss Bessie Burke, Mrs. Florence Burke, Mr. V. R. Skecter, Prof. John Selden, Mr. D. S. Alston, Mrs. Annie White. The officers of the Norfolk branch are: P. B. Young, president; M. R. Jackson, vice-president; Mrs. L. E. Titus, secretary and Mrs. F. S. Barber, treasurer. The executive and other committees will be named at a meeting to be held at an early date, after which the branch will get down to a definite program of work. INCREASE OF DOLLAR MONEY African Methodists Raised Last Year $223,796, Acording to Secretary Hawkins Washington, D. C.—According to reports submitted by John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. church, at the annual meeting of the financial board Wednesday of last week, $223,796.05 was received in "dollar money" collection last year, an increase of $9,476.44 over the previous year. Of this sum the Virginia Conference contributed $4,928.25, an increase of $168.20. Bishop B. F. Lee presided and the following board members were present: Revs. M. H. Thornton, A. L. Gaines, T. H. Jackson, A. J. Carey, C. H. Shelton, W. H. Edwards, J. D. Dennis, S. P. Roseboro, S. P. Johnson, J. Ransom, J. W. Saunders, J. E. Stark and R. W. Mance. Of the big sum raised $89,518.43 was for general denominational needs, $80,566.58 for the local needs of annual conferences and $17,903.68 each for the departments of education and church extension. Professor Hawkins was highly commended for his report and not one of his recommendations was turned down. Rev. E. H. Hunter, of Portsmouth, Va., was among the visitors. Elizabeth City State Normal Commencement The State Normal School of Elizabeth City, N. C., will hold their commencement exercises beginning April 20th and ending April 27th. The commencement address will be delivered by Rev. H. S. Osburn (white) of the Episcopal Church. Hon. R. W. Turner will present the diplomas; Rev. R. R. Cartwright, moderator of the Roanoke Association, will deliver the sermon. There are twenty-six graduates from the Normal department, twelve from the Domestic Science department. ercising the right of suffrage now except a failure to pay the capitation tax; segregation is losing popularity and its fate now hangs in the balance before the Federal Supreme Court and the days of the notorious crop lien laws are numbered all over the Southern States. All present indications point to the fact that the Southern Negro is at the threshold of a revolution in his political, social and industrial status. The question is, will he stand still and hasten by sensible means at hand the amelioration of present conditions or will he throw away a great industrial opportunity by following the lead of labor agents to an uncertain future in unknown lands? PRICE FIVE CENTS TRAINING FOR NEGRO OFFICERS Summer Military Camp Now Seems Asured Of Success Over Three Hundred and Fifty Candidates Have Applied For Admission, Including College Students and Professional Men. The Military Training Camp for colored officers which is being organized by Dr. J. E. Spingarn, of New York, is now almost certainly assured of success. Over three hundred and fifty candidates have applied for admission, including about eighty students of Howard University, twenty students of Hampton, a dozen physicians, seven or eight clergymen, and twenty-five or thirty lawyers. The newspaper reports that all civilian camps for the summer are to be abolished are not official, for the government has not yet decided exactly what arrangements it will make for training officers for the new regiments that are to be created. One plan that has been suggested is that an Officers' Training Camp be organized for each of the four divisions of the country. If colored men are not admitted to these camps, a separate camp will undoubtedly be established for their benefit, and the three hundred and fifty candidates who have already applied will be assigned to this camp. It is still not too late for further applications, which should be sent to Dr. Spingarn at 9 West 73rd street, New York. Five hundred is by no means too large a number for such a camp. The new arrangements that will be made for the camp will probably include free training and subsistence at the camp, free uniforms and a t refund of all transportation expenses, but a deposit will probably have to be left with the Camp Commander when the uniforms are handed out and this deposit will be returned at the end of the camp when the men return the uniforms. Full details of the camp and official government application blanks will be ready for distribution soon. LANCASTER ASSOCIATION PLEDGES ITS LOYALTY The members of the Lancaster Social and Beneficial Association at their meeting last Sunday adopted the following resolutions expressing the attitude of themselves toward their country in the present war crisis: "Whorens, the United States of America, the government to which we owe allegiance, and which has always been first and foremost in the spreading of liberty and justice throughout the world, has been forced into war with the German government, be it Resolved, That we, the members of the Lancaster Social and Beneficial Association hereby re-affirm our loyalty to the United States Government in the hour of national peril. And be it further Resolved, That we hereby pledge our support to the flag—the only flag that we know and the flag that gave us freedom—and our services in any manner that our Great President may see fit to use us for the maintenance of our national honor as a nation and the upholding of the principles of freedom and justice throughout the world." The resolutions were unanimously adopted and ordered engrossed as a part of the Association's permanent records.

What a nice and ngreeable place the world would be to live in if everybody should “do wnt his neighbor as he would that his néighbor would do unto him.” As it fs with races so it is with individuals; if they do not hang together they in- variably hand separately, as a signer of the American Declaration of Inde- pendence put it as he scrawled his sigs nature to it. It is estimated that there are not more than 10,000,000 Jews in all of the world, while there are that many Afro-Americans in the United States, with an unlimited number of their far-off kith in Africa and the islands of the seas, Well, the few Jews we haye in this country have pledged themselves to give $10,000,000 for the relief of their brethren in Europe who bye heen made destitute by the way. ir condition is deplorable, and ap- peals to the charity of universal man- kind, but universal mankind, just like the individual man, is more disposed to help those who help themselves than those who wait patiently for others to do for them whut they can and should do for themselves, Well, at a little dinner party in New York, recently, given by Jacob H. Schiff, a good friend of the Afro-American people, $2,000,000 was subscribed towards the $10,000,000 fund, by a handful of men, in a jiffy. Whnt do you think of that, you, readers of The Journal ani Guide? ‘There are two phnses of this inci- dent of the Schiff dinner that Afro- Americans should profit by: The Jews do not disown and run away from Jews, They are proud of themselves and their race, in prosperitysis.well as in adversity, and, being men and brethren, they love and assigtione an- other in all reasonable ways’ when it ie necessary to do so; they, in the second place, have money, got by de- spoiling the American Gentiles as they despoiled the Egyptian Acthiops al Goshen in the times of Moses and when they were departing the country. Hav: ing money, and loving one another: and standing together at all times ani in all conditions, those or them whe have plenty give of their abundance in all conditions, those of them whe hhave little. Moral: Afro-Americans, study the Jews and the way they do things an¢ learn of them. THE STATE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE BULLETIN.

It is reported from Washington that the Government has rounded up and arrested some 10,000 suspects, those who are not’ wellutffected toward the Government. We do not understand that there are any Afro-Americans among the number; if there should be we are sure that a mistake his been made in their case which “will come out in the wash.” ‘There was a report in the daily newspapers recently that the German agents were busy among “Southern Negroes” in the effort to seduce them from their allegiance and ogalty to their country, and that sev- eral arrests had been made; all which may be true, but we may rest assured that any such dupes were deeaived ‘with promises of employment, or some- thing else, and that nothing of rebell- ion against the government of their country was hinted at or made plain to them. We have faith in the race, that, for the most part, it will stand the test of good and loyal cittenship during the existence of the present hostili- ties, as it has done in the past, and that any effort, any inducement, to se- duce it from its loyalty will fail. Why not? Unlike others of the cltizenship, they have no other country than the United States, which they have helped to make great and glorious from its foundation to the present, in peace and in war. The trouble with the country is that it has opened in yenrs past its doors wide to the discontented people of Europe, and thet many of these peo- ple have not unlearned the tyranical and oppressive methods of govern- ment from which they have sought deliverance in this free country, and undertake. here to get by, underhand methods what they want,.of Govern- ment or society, as they were compell- ed to plot and strive to get in their home countries. ‘These people are new in this country. When they have been here long enough to unlearn the teach- ings of their generations of oppres- sion, as millions of them here have lone, they will make good and desir- able citizens. After all, too, 10,000 suspects, or twice that many, is a small number of aliens as compared with the hosts of the suspected concerning whom the newspapers have been warning the country for the whole period of the war, Let us be thnnkful for that much. It is not any more pleasant or safe to have a lot of serpents in the National body, than in the natural body, in times of trials and tribula- tions. DON'T FORGET THE WAY TO THE BANK. | In times of great excitement and up- heaval people are liable to forget muny things that they should remember. ‘They don’t intend to do it, and do not remember that they have done it un- til it is too late to remedy the error, Then they have only regret for com- fort, There are two things that good Christians should not forget. First: They should never forget the way to [the Christian Church, built upon the ‘rock against which the waves of in- justice and crime beat only to be dash- ‘ed to smithercens, as is the Christian ‘home, without which there would be no civilizsttion, but the degradation that prevails in the Heathen and Pa- gan lands of’ Asia and Africa, out of Iwhich the light went centuries ago. |Second: They should not forget the |way to the savings bank, because without money the Christian home land Nation and Church would have no ‘foundation at all that could with- ‘stand the floods of want that assail all flesh—because all sentiment crea. ‘tures have appetites and thirsts: that ‘must be administered to, man being |the only one of them that can make provision, now and in advance, for himself and all the others dependent ‘upon him, as are his domestic animals and his fowls.

IT OFTEN LEADS TO NERVOUS. NESS IN CASES OF CHILDREN. it is a fact that many parents do not consider eye defects in children of much importance and let matters knock along under the presumption that. the children will outgrow the trouble. As n matter of fact there are few, if any, such cases and the longer a'case of eye strain endures the more serious becomes the trouble. Uneheeked eye strain in children in- duees nervous habits and attendancy to. produce distorted positions of the body, corrugation of the forchead and squinting of the eyes. It is generally thought in this country that glasses give the eppearance of age to a per- son.

HARDSTEW TUUOREUAUERUSAUAUUOUUSREDEVNTEUEVECERELOGETUNOE Common Sense In Staying South and Growing Food Crops Now Jacksonville, Fla. — Perhaps you may think this a sudden jump for me from Virginia to Florida, and this included a trip through North and South Carolina, and even throuyh Vir- ginia, because after writing to you last week, I made a trip to Washing- ton, D. C., and Baltimore, Maryland, and several other places, and returned to Petersburg. , Of course you know the war is on, and our people continue to go to the North, but I am of the opinion that now is the time for them to show some common sense, and stay at home during these times, when the country is calling for patriotism, and the fel- low who lays down his shovel and hoe, stops his plow, closes up his home and breaks to the North in search of money, or anything else, shows the lack of love for countéy, and is work- ing against himself. Go to the north, make dollars, or even earn them, but it is not possible to eat them, and unless attention is turned to the raising of food stuff | just now, the future is dark and starv- ation is looking right into our faces. |We must make food, and I plead with my people who have left the farm, to lay aside the dollar craze und come back down home, and get to work in jthe earth, and’ plant therein. the wealth which God wants you to have. It is yours, and believe me this old dirt down here will not draw the color line. This is our opportunity, but if we fail to make it now we will have ‘only self to blame. Young men are called to the front, and they are willing to go, but us oid men must get down to helping to feed them while they fight, and even while some die. I never realized be- fore what it was to love country, and how much one will do for his country. He will kiss wife and children good- bye and walk into death just, like he was going into a meal for the protec- tion of the flag of country. Black Troops on Guard in Washing- ton I have spent a little time in and around Petersburg, goin from there to Washington, and Baltimore, took- ing at things, seeing how well we are xuarded and ‘protected, You are im- pressed with this going into Wash- ington, when you sce them black boys just across the bridye pacing up and down with their guns ready to shoot down any invader, and when you set into the city, you still sce them at guard ut the capitol and other places, and they will shoot. Hence our pres- ident can sleep when be: oes to bed because he knows “Cuffy” is on guard, and he realizes that he is a real man with soul and brains, and will die if need be right now for his protection. No invasion with this black man on guard. I am proud that I am a citi- zen of the United States, and belong to this great mee. In Washington, I had the pleasure of attending one of their big meet- ings, and. meeting some of the big men’ up there in that big city. The meeting was held in the Y, M. C. A., and you will believe me, honey, when I tell you them people have’ some building up there in Washington. Prof. Beckett is the secretary, and he is just one man who knows how to reach and how to handle men. He is a map who treats all his fellow beings well Dr. 3. Milton Waldron presided over the meeting. I have been hearing about this- great preacher for a long time, but now I have seen him. He is a ‘great presiding officer, and well up.

TION of HEALTH. By DR. J. W. PIERCE Tt cannot be srainsaid that exercise is a very important factor in maintaln- ing health. It has for its purpose, when indulged in to reasonable limits, a tonic influence upon the physical economy. The old adage that “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” is a truism that cannot be al- together disputed, notwithstanding the fact that it is’so frequently dis- carded by so many people, especially the youth. What we mean by exercise is not muscular exertion per sc. Everyone who performs any sort of labor is compelled by virtue of the task to set in motion certain movements of the muscles of the body, thereby causing a certain and definite amount of ex- ercise. Different tasks at intervals require the use of only groups of muscles leaving others in a state of quietude; on the other hand, other tasks call for the use more generally of all or many groups of muscles, but in most instances the exercise is 'voic of the element of recreation or pleas: ure. Exercise, then, when viewed from a different angle, ‘carries with it, in ‘addition to mere muscular movement some form of pleasure or recreation Taking this view of exercise, we may define it as having for its pur- pose the bringing into play or move ment the several muscles of the bods with a pleasurable or recreational end in view. For in this really lies the tonic effect of muscular exercise upor the constitution and upon conserving the balance in the economy of the tis sues and organs of the body. No! only does such exercise produce salu tary results upon the physical make up of an individual, but it has a cor. responding effect upon te mind a: well.

She has touched many lives during the 25 years she has been in the Flor- ida Baptist college, for she started with it, and is now its secretary. She was kept busy as could be during the anniversary, hence I did not get to talk to her. Florida Baptist College ‘The anniversary was a great time and a great meeting.

For the past five years we have made an annual trip to Richmond and upon each trip we find new business enterprises conducted by our people. They are facing their obligations bravely in spite of the great war crisis and high cost of living. Richmond has no peer as a city in the South when it comes to racial co-operation and solidarity. Numerous and beautiful are its church edifices and its school facilities are on a par with those of the most progressive southern cities. The city is a great center for insur- ance and fraternal societies as we find there the offices of some of the lar- gest and strongest organizations of that kind among our people in. this country including ‘The Southem Aid Society, The True Reformers, United Order of St. Luke, Home Beneficial Insurance Company, The American Beneficial Insurance Company, ‘The National Ideal Benefit Society, the Good Samaritans, and last but not Teast; the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association of Durham, N.

This is easily demonstrated in the contrast between any two boys, who in the one case all exercise is work and drudgery, and in the other work, plus recreational exercise. ‘The former does not measure up to the full manly development, where in the other, you get a picture of symmetri- cal growth and mental development. | Again, pleasurable exercise pro- duces a'certain amount of rest and ‘relaxation to hard-worked and over- jused muscles; it establishes an equi- librium in the. circulation of blood: it rests the mind from hard mental labor; it tones up the nervous struc- tures of the body, increasing their en- ‘ergies to healthful ends; it creates a marked degree of contentment thereby fortifying and renewing the forces of the body for work. ' _ Those pleasurable exercises that call for more or less all of the muscles of the body into play, should be the ones more generally indulged in, ‘These are such as swimming, raaning, baseball, skating, lawn tennis, hurdling, cycling, ete. Such exercises make a’ demand upon almost all the muscles and give health and vigor to them. Tt matters not where you may be located, these exercises should impress you with their healthful results. They can be had in the country on the farm as well as in the-cities in the parks, jor at some schol or college.

We first viewed the chapel and beautiful yard and then were shown where the dead would be quietly laid in plots sur- rounded by pavements running here and there. We saw colored men and white men all busy at work. We were shown over an adjoining ‘tract con- taining a beautiful lake fed by two freely flowing streams, which is to be made into a park for colored people. Here too colored men and white men were busily engaged preparing the grounds. I thought it the best thing had ever seen in the land for our people. Mr. John Mitchell is presi- dent and Mr. T. H.

Dr. Simms has as mem- bers of his church a splendid people who are energetic workers. ‘They are jat this time repairing the church and when it is finished they will have a creditable edifice. We hope to visit West Point again when we have more time to spend. Farmville. We went to Farmville from West Point, where we found the Virginia: Aa ot E,, Conference in session, pre- sided over by Bishop John Albert Johnson, whd is one of the brained men of our race. He is punctual, sticks to business and “feeds all the preachers out of the same spoon.” Many visitors attended the Conference and the Bishop among them said the hospitality of the Farmville people could not be excelled. Farmville has many beautiful homes and progressive people, Lynchburg. In thinking of somewhere to go from the Methodist Conference, we thought of Lynchburg, the city built on bills. There is no city North, South, East or West just like Lyneh- burg ‘when it comes to hills. One would stand and cast a wistful eye to get upon the next hill without walk- ing.

The Southern Aid Building was dedicated on Friday night. It was attended by a large crowd of people at the High Street Baptist church. Prof. I. W. Taylor was master of ceremonies. Mayor Wooden introduced Mr. Geo. W. Risen who made an appropriate address and the response was made by Mr. J. C. Carter, a member of the local bar. The building was recently completed at a cost of $15,000. The office was opened all day for inspection and vanity purses were given the visitors as souvenirs. After the program all those who took part were served to one of Mr. Risen's best banquets at his restaurant on Spring street. A string band rendered music. Lincoln University of Chester, Pa., and Biddle University, Charlotte, N.C., crossed bats at Danville on Monday last. The score was 11 to 4 in favor of Biddle.

The church has been overrun each night. Monday night and Tuesday night over sixty persons have made application for membership and several converts. Dr. Willbanks has held his audience spell-bound each night and the crowds are steadily increasing. It is saying little to say he is a great expounder of the Word. He will preach next Sunday at 4 p. m. at the Queen Street Baptist Church to men and women. Next Sunday there will be visiting by the members of the above-named church. Dr. Willbanks is known the country over as Black Billy Sunday.

Let us pray that God will pour out his spirit upon this city of ours. VA. CONFERENCE A. M. E. CHURCH. Farmville, Va.—The Virginia Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Church held its fifty-first annual session here last week. The Rev. J. Albert Johnson, D. D., the learned prelate of Philadelphia, Pa., presided. Eighty-seven ministers representing nearly twelve thousand members of the churches in the connection in the State, answered the roll call. The Bishop made it plain in the very outset that the law of the church as laid down by the last Conference would be strictly enforced, especially as regards the finances of the conference. Twelve hundred dollars was given the superannuates as their annual stipend, the Special Missionaries were paid in full $325.00 and all the widows and orphans were paid their full allowance. The Mite Missionary Ladies held their annual anniversary on Friday afternoon. Mrs. Jonnie E. Day presided. Mrs. K. T. Boland of Roanoke; Mrs. C. L. Davis of Richmond, Va.; Mrs. G. B. Roberts of Norfolk, and other ladies addressed the Conference on the subject of Missions.

Review; Rev. Thomas H. Jackson, D. D., Dean of Payne Theological Seminary, Wilberforce, Ohio; Rev. Dr. J. Frank McDonald of Kansas City, Kansas, editor of Western Christian Recorder, and Rev. R. R. Wright, Jr., D. D., of Philadelphia, Pa., editor Christian Recorder, were welcome visitors to the Conference. Sunday was a great day in Farmville, not only for the Methodist folks but to everybody, for the eyes of the whole community for miles around seemed to have been focused upon St. Paul, the seat of the Conference. Dr. Ransome preached a great sermon, after which the Bishop, assisted by several elders, ordained the Revs. A. L. Seruggs, J. H. Hawkins and D. V. Young, Elides. This report would be considered quite incomplete if the great financial movement conducted in the month of January, 1917, were not mentioned. Twelve thousand dollars, our good Bishop said, "must be raised for Kittrell College, and you have the month of January in which to raise it." Well, do Doctors Hunter, Morris, Davis, Taylor, Watson, Nottingham, Baker and others, who were equally interested. We will raise one-third of that amount. Their Conference reports showed that thirty-four hundred dollars of the amount pledged had been collected, and sent to Dr. John R. Hawkins, the reminder will of course be forthcoming within (30) days. So said the Conference to the Bishop last week. town, Va., was in town shopping on Monday last.

On Monday evening, April 16th, just after the pastor's arrival from the Annual Conference a representative number of the members of Trinity Church prepared a most beautiful surprise supper at the beautiful home of Mrs. Mettie Carson, 1008 Berkley Ave. The pastor was given as a mark of appreciation for the return of the pastor, Rev. G. W. Nicholas, for another year. The pastor's wife, who by her faithful service has won a place in the hearts of this people, with the children all were invited. Nor were these large hearted folk forgetful and welcome the popular and much loved late pastor of St. James Church, Dr. L. L. Berry, whom the bishop had promoted to the position of presiding elder of our district. Dr. Berry and his faithful wife were present as was also the veteran and beloved pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Dr. E. M. Lassiter. All these and other honored guests sat around the festal board and partook of the sumptuous repast prepared for them. It was indeed a splendid treat gotten up in such a short time and served with such a happy and winsome spirit. The pastor wishes in this public way to express in behalf of himself and family and our brother ministers who were privileged to be present to thank all those who contributed in preparing and serving that bounties and much enjoyed supper. Certainly Trinity has made a good beginning and everything points forward to a successful year's work.

Hatcher returned for another year. ‘This is a record for our church in that Rev, Hatcher has his fourth appoint- ment to this charge: he has already been with us longer than any pastor in the history of the church. Last Sunday he delivered a special sermon to, the Young Converts on the subject: “The Christian Race,” Heb. 12: 1-2. Rev. Hateher set forth the struggles and delizhts of the race they have begun and comforted them with many prom- ises of victory from God's word. At night. he preached on “Our_Mottos for This Year,” Ps. 20: 5. Here are the mottos that are found on our walls and to which he urged us to subscribe: “ Will Speak To Some One Of Jesus Every Week, I Will Seek To Build Up My Church,” “My Motto This Year Ys Do More, Pray More, Give More,’ “Not How Much Of My ‘Money Will’] Give To God, But How Much Of God’: Money I Will Keep For Myself” and “y'Will Pursue Peace And Fellowshit With All Men, I Will Be Tender Heart. ed And Forgiving.” These motto: were beautifully treated’ and illus trated. , ‘Next Sunday the pastor will fill th: pulpit, be sure to hear him.

Griffia, Agent for Jericho Our Home Suffolk has an experience of having a home, and then not having one. For some time Mrs. Laura Harris, together with her friends of the city and county, has been working most assiduously for the elderly development of the dependents of this city. Recently, it may be noted, Mrs. Millie Bailey, one of the oldest, if not the oldest, member of the Pine Street Baptist church, of which the Rev. P. L. Boone, one of our most successful and up-to-date ministers is pastor, has been taken to this home, which is located in Saratoga Place. Mrs. Bailey may be numbered among our youngest—being only 104 years of age. It was by the ever watchful eye of the Rev. Mr. Boone that Mrs. Bailey, and many others, are laked after in this home. The home cost over $450.00, and over half of this amount has already been paid. In connection with this great work, it is well to note that the Rev. Mr. Boone is identified with every missionary and charitable interest of the city. He is also a business man with the most liberal ideas on every thought.

JAMES S. ROBINSON. MEMPHIS, TENN. Marine Firemen's Protective Brotherhood PAGE EIGHT J. G. ETHERIDZE. President On November the second, nineteen hundred and sixteen, Mr. Chas. H. Bowens, having given the matter considerable thought, called together the colored stationary and marine firemen of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Berkley, for a meeting in his store in Campostella. The result was the organization of the Firemen's Protective Brotherhood Numer One of Norfolk and Tidewater. Since that time Mr. Bowens has been delivering thrilling speeches to the firemen, instilling into them the importance of organization for their own protection. There are a large number of Negroes employed as firemen on all the vessels sailing from the Norfolk harbor, besides a large number employed in the buildings of this vicinity. Membership Rapidly Increased. The membership has increased rapidly until it numbers two hundred members. The success of this organization is due largely to the officials, who have the honor of holding the positions of responsibility, known in the above photographs, as many as space will permit us to publish. Mr. J. C. Etheridge, who has served as president from the origin has demonstrated his ability as a man of broad views, "Slow to Anger and quick to mercy." The vice-president, Mr. James Sweat; third vice-president, Mr. R. Pervis and several field agents such as Mr. Albert Dabney, employed on the steamer Virginia as water tender for the C. & O. Co.; Mr. John A. White, steam donkey man for the steamer Hamilton, of the Old Dominion Line; Mr. M. Rollins of the mechanical department of the electric plant; Mr. W. Ellington and Mr. William Cobbs of Money Point; William Askew of Portsmouth; Mr. White Anthony and others who have worked zealously deserve much credit for their untiring efforts to establish the organization. The treasurer, Mr. Monroe Little, has proven himself a man of his word; Mr. Boyd McClennon is recording secretary. Mr. Chas. H. Bowens, business manager, has conferred with Mr. Robt. L. Goeck, business manager or the Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association, Number One Hundred and One and received the following reply Mr. Chas. H. Bowens. Sec. & Business Mgr, Firemen's Protective Brotherhood No. 1, Nortfolk, Va. Dear Sir: Your communication advising this association of your organization, and in which you solicit our co-operation, was read before our regular meeting Friday evening last. I beg to herein advise that this association on that date adopted a resolution endorsing the Firemen's Protective Brotherhood No. 1 and providing arrangements for co-operation which will be brought before our next regular meeting for further consideration. This association approves and endorses the principals of organization of labor in all its various branches, wherever found; especially organizations of those employed in Merchant Marine. Therefore, it will be the policy of this association to provide some form of working agreement whereby our members will be required to employ only members of your Brotherhood for similar support from them. You will be notified of the action taken by this association at its next regular meeting with reference to this matter in order to meet the demand, the men are out of the organization, are being rounded up and obligated as fast as possible. Field Agents Elected. There have been three field agents elected in each city of Norfolk, Portsmouth, Berkley and Newport News and from one to three in each steamship company. Their receipts are recognized by the impression of the Lodge Seal. The duty of all the field agents will be to go on all steamers and in all stationary plants, look the men over, keep in touch with them and make a general report of all scales including conditions that necessitate the attention of the Brotherhood. Mr. Bowens is urgently requesting all the Brotherhood men to render the very best service in order to be held in high esteem by the employers. Headquarters will soon be opened in Norfolk from which fremont will be detailed in all directions covering an area of 150 square mites on land and sea. Spring. Spring is looked upon by many as the most delightful season of the year, but this cannot be said of the rheumatic. The cold and damp weather brings on rheumatic pains which are anything but pleasant. They can be relieved, however, by applying Chamberlain's Liniment. For sale by all druggists. JAMES SMITH, Vice President M. CHAS. BOWENS Organizer and Business Manager ROCKY MOUNT ROCKY MOUNT (By O.

It will shoot a solid or explosive shell over fifty miles. It is propelled by gasoline and electricity, and is so constructed that the gun can cross any marsh or trench.
