Martha Merrick Library Dedication Event of Great Importance — Dr. James B. Dudley Delivers Eloquent and Forceful Address. (By G. W. Nicholas). Kittrell College, N. C.—The thirteenth Commencement Day program of Kittrell College last Thursday and the many advance steps taken by the Trustee Board mark the dawn of a brighter day for this useful institution. It was with much sorrow that we accepted the resignation of Dr. C. G. O'Kelley as President of the institution, for he has done great things for the school during his five years as its head, and has left a lasting impression for good upon all who were fortunate enough to come in contact with him. Still in the election of Prof. G. A. Edwards, a graduate of A. & T. College and Cornell University, and for fifteen years a most successful and popular teacher at Shaw University, we feel that we have gotten the men best fitted and equipped to take the place made vacant by Dr. O'Kelley's resignation. Indeed we count ourselves most fortunate in securing so able a scholar and fine a gentleman as Prof. Edwards, who with his large experience in school work, and his many and varied accomplishments ought to make the school go forward as never before in all the years of its history. The event of greatest importance after the election of the president, was the dedication of the beautiful "Martin Merrick Library." In the selection of President James B. Dudley of the A. & T. College, Greensboro, N. C., to make the dedicatory address, no mistake was made for President Dudley measured up in every respect to the occasion. Being introduced as only the eloquent John R. Hawkins could, Dr. Dudley gave us a gem in the way of literary composition and a classic many averred, and so eloquently and forcefully did he deliver his address that we sat spellbound as he told us the value of a library. He called it "n repository in which are stored the wealth of the ages—not that of diadem nor coronet — that which sparkles and glitters from the flash of jewels and diamonds, but the enduring wealth of master minds." His tribute to the donor, Mr. John Merrick, distinguished citizen, great financier and noble philanthropist was fine and even elegant, but well deserved, for well did he say that the gift was unique and probably the first of its kind in the history of Negro assemblies. We were yet again to hear a masterly Commencement address, by that master of composition, learned in the Greek Classics with a style and address like the premier orator Demosthenes himself, whom he must have closely studied. I refer to Dr. R. B. McCrary, distinguished Mason and successful business man, and as I have said, an orator of the first magnitude. I haven't time or space to speak more of that masterly oration, but any one who has ever heard Dr. McCrary speak will know that I use no exaggeration in what I have written concerning him. Dr. E. H. Hunter was asked by Dr. C. G. O'Kelley to introduce Dr. R. B. McCrary and these three distinguished persons, great preacher, great teacher, great orator were all members of the great class of '85 of Lincoln University. It was North Carolina Day at Kittrell, for with Dr. Dudley and the three above named gentlemen, the new President Edwards (sounds nice, doesn't it?) I have yet to speak of perhaps a still more romarkable and successful scion of the Old North State, who did the biggest thing I have ever heard of any Negro doing before. But he is a big man and holds the biggest job in the world of Negroes, some one will say, but this would make some men small. When you talk of orators he is second to none, and financiers, he is first and in a class by himself, he must altogether a big man for he did a big thing at the Commencement. Let me relieve your anxiety by telling you who this big man is and what big thing he did. Prof. John R. Hawkins, lawyer, financier, orator and premier bookkeeper. Ever hear him tell about "That Dollar" (remember all these distinguished North Carolinians: Drs. Hunter, Dudley, McCraarey, O'Kelley, Hawkins know and appreciate the value of a dollar) but back to Dr. Hawkins and his title to bigness. Prof. John R. Hawkins through Bishop J. Albert Johnson announced that Lillian M. Hawkins, wife of said Prof. Hawkins, had given two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) for the erection of a new chapel at Kittrell College. Thereupon Bishop Johnson announced that Mrs. Johnson, his wife has given the first one hundred dollars towards the additional $2,500.00 needed to build the chapel. Nor is this all. We can almost speak with assurance because we are so confident that with the additional $600.00 to be raised by the Virginia Conference; $1000.00 by the Baltimore Conference; and the balance of some $5,000.00 by the two North Carolina Con- The Journal and Guide ferences, all to be in hand by the 31st of this month, we will with this $12,500.00 go to the Messrs. Dukes and have them pay over the $12,500.00 they promised to give us if we raised our part. So that we can affirm that we will by the 31st of this month have the $25,000.00 in hand. Surely there is a brighter day ahead for Kittrell. Plans were laid at the trustee meeting for the erection of a modern brick boys' dormitory to take the place of the one destroyed by fire. Once again big hearted Mr. Hawkins came in and by his generosity will enable us to house our boys 'till the dormitory is completed. A business manager, an administrative board and a raise of $2.00 per month on students boarding expenses, making the minimum fee of $10.00 per month for all students desiring to go to Kittrell for the future. The high cost-of living is responsible for this raise on board. There were seventeen graduates, eleven normal, four domestic science and art and two commercial. Bishop J. Albert Johnson conducted the business of Trustee Board in his skillful and business like way, and all these new and splendid features were added and the dawn of a brighter day is already apparent for Kittrell. Both Virginia and North Carolina had a large representation at the trustee meeting. CAPE CHARLES NEWS. (W. P. Jefferson.) The Northampton Lodge No. 3150, G. U.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, MAY 19, 1917 HOWARD UNIVERSITY GETS TRAINING CAMP WILL PREPARE COLORED MEN FOR OFFICERS IN UNITED STATES ARMY More Than Fifteen Hundred Applicants From Leading Institutions of the Country Already On File—Plan Endorsed By All Schools—Howard Foremost In Camp Movement. (By Alphonso Land.) Washington, D. C., May 16. At last the earnest efforts made to secure a camp for the training of colored officers have been successful. The great victory means that the many young men in the colleges and universities, who are eager to become leaders, leading their own colored through the din of battle to victory, now have been presented the opportunity to prove that they can lead as well as follow. Too much credit cannot be given to Dr. Spingarn credit for his efforts in bringing about the success of the camp. Howard University also deserves much credit. This institution not only stands ready to furnish leaders along the milder pursuits of peace but it stands ready to render service in the sterner emergencies of war. Howard displayed its patriotism when it, by formal declaration, offered itself "mind, body and estate" to President Wilson. Immediately after this declaration, Howard took the lead in the camp movement and sent out student committees to other colored institutions to urge their co-operation in order to bring about the establishment of a COLORED OFFICERS TRAINING CAMP. The Central Committee was composed of both members of the faculty and students, with Professor Montgomery Gregory at its head. The diligent work of this committee at the War Department, with the co-operation of other students, who kept Congress flooded with letters, effected a speedy establishment of a training camp for the training of colored officers. Other committees, composed of students elected by their peers, to go to Atlanta, Fisk, Lincoln, Union, Taledega, Biddle, Hampton, Virginia Institute, Tuskegee Institute, and other prominent institutions of learning. They placed before the faculties and students of these institutions the technical points of the movement and showed the necessity of their co-operation. Every institution visited by this committee not only approved of the proposition, but also responded readily to the building up of a sufficient number of applicants for the proposed camp and Lincoln and Union Universities sent student representatives to Howard University to offer their service for the furtherance of the cause. And now more than fifteen hundred applications have been made. The opportunity to become officers has presented itself; we have now the The Ivor Meeting of April 21st The patriotic celebration held in Ivor, April 21st, did honor to the colored citizens. Mayor L. C. Pully spoke in complimentary terms of the loyalty of the colored people. He was followed by Ex-Mayor R. H. Rawls, who in pathetic tones made mention of his early training at the hands of a Negro woman. Rev. G. E. Miles, pastor of the Methodist Church, was introduced and in a scholarly manner he presented facts from history which proved the past loyalty of the race. The next address, which strongly appealed to the hearers, came from the lips of Mr. E. P. Johnson. He in his introduction, referred to the prophecy of the time, when the lion and the lamb should lie down together. He declared that we are not Afro-Americans, but loyal, patriotic citizens. He reviewed the history of the Negro in the war of 1776; his devotion to the flag in 1812; his faithfulness in 1863-65, and declaimed that the valor and heroism then shown still burns in the Negroos' breasts. In closing he pledged the faithful service of the race in the present crisis of our country. Mr. A. B. Doles, next introduced, urged loyalty on the part of every colored citizen. Resolutions were adopted, and the spirit "To raise not only enough produce to feed ourselves, but for those allied nations needing assistance" prevailed the body. IVOR COLORED CITIZENSHIP. WILMINGTON, N. C. (T. H. Snead.) Rev. A. J. Boney, of Castle Haynes, preached a splendid sermon at Central Baptist Church Sunday night. Rev. J. H. Bryant, of Watha, N. C., was in the city last week. Mrs. E. P. Whitehead, or Burgaw, N. C., was among those on the sick list last week. Mrs. Addie Johnson, Mrs. Rosa Johnson and Mrs. E. A. Carter are still on the sick list. Miss Ellen Allen and Mr. Joseph Tate were married April 28th, 1917. They are now residing at their new home, 515 N. Eighth Street. long wished-for chance—the chance to prove our ability to lead, as well as to follow. It has been supposed that the color of the leader accounted for the efficiency of the colored soldier during the Civil War. He fought gallantly and proved to be the best soldier in the army. This was not due to the fact that he was officered by white men, for he has also proved to be the best soldier under colored officers. An immediate example of his efficiency while officered by colored men can be seen in the work of the First Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia during service on the Mexican border. Now that this splendid opportunity has been accorded us, we should take advantage of it, and cast aside the idea of segregation. When Dr. Spingarn introduced this movement before the public, he told them to lay aside their prejudices for patriotic reasons. It is a fact that when we think of the segregation and unjust discrimination which have hampered our spirit and progress, there arises a feeling of indignation to think that the same will be carried into war. But, now, in this grave crisis, there is no time to entertain thoughts of prejudice when such a movement is presented to us. Many of our people, however, objected to the statement of Dr. Spingarn to lay aside their prejudices for patriotic reasons. If the thoughtful colored Americans had stopped to think of prejudice, we would have no camp today. But the thoughtful colored men realized that the establishment of this camp for the training of colored men, would afford a great opportunity for the Negro race whether segregated or not. It was the work of these men that brought on the camp victory. It is our duty to encourage every volunteer who has so nobly offered himself; who is so anxious to make a noble history for his race and show the world that when given a chance he can prove to be just as efficient, proficient, loyal, and patriotic as men of other races. This is not the time for abuse and discouragement from our own race, for if we shamefully fail in this attempt we shall become an object of ridicule to the whole world. It is, therefore, our sacred duty to exert every effort to make this cause a success, and prove to all the world that the Negro is equal to any task placed upon him. Every man who enters this camp feels that a grave responsibility rests upon him; that upon his success or failure hinges the development or degradation of twelve millions of people. The Howard girls, as well as the boys, have shown that they can serve their country in this great national crisis. A Red Cross unit has been organized and for weeks the members have been drilling and training for service. On the twelfth of May, when President Wilson reviewed the great Red Cross parade that took place in Washington, there was in the midst of the parade a corps of colored girls whose faces beamed with loyalty and patriotism. Over them floated the banner which bore the gilted letters "Howard University". Joseph Benson Foraker Dead Joseph Benson Foraker Dead Joseph Benson Foraker, United States Senator and a staunch friend of the Negro died at his home in Cincinnati, Ohio, May 10th, 1917, at the age of 70 years. Senator Foraker is remembered by the Negroes as the man who opposed the discharge of the Negro soldiers, who were charged with the shooting-up of Brownsville, Texas. Patients Surprise Nurse Waters. The patients under the care of Miss Octavia Waters in Campostella and Berkley very delightfully surprised her on the evening of May 3rd as an expression of their gratitude. Mrs. Rosa Williams in a unique way presented her with a purse and Miss Ellen Smith held the reception at her home. Miss Waters appreciated the affair very much. Reception in Honor of Mr. E. B. Tucker. The Southern Aid Insurance Company's Agents of the Norfolk division, gave a farewell reception in honor of Mr. E. B. Tucker on Friday evening, May 11th, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Hamnic on Avenue B. Mr. Tucker, after ten years with the Southern Aid Insurance Company, has resigned to take up the distribution of the Virginian-Pilot among the colored population of the city. Mr. C. J. Williams acted as master of ceremonies and introduced Mr. Hamnic, district superintendent, who spoke in the highest terms of the honesty and straightforwardness of Mr. Tucker during his years with the company. Others who spoke of the worth of Mr. Tucker as a business man and citizen were: Messrs. J. H. Hamlin, Chas. Llewellyn, P. B. Young. Miss Nannie Holmes and Mr. Hill rendered solos, which captivated the audience. Mr. Tucker in very fitting words responded. There were about fifty ladies and gentlemen present to do honor to Mr. Tucker. Delicacies of the season were served after which the guests left wishing for Mr. Tucker many more years of useful service.

Hatcher preached the baccalaureate sermon to the graduates of the public school. The sermon was very touching and impressive. He also rendered one of his original songs. On Monday night, May 14, the commencement exercises were held. The rendition of the program showed that much care had been taken in the training of the children. Much credit is due to Prof. Jordan and his corps of able teachers for their successful work in our community. They have not only shown interest in the public school work but in the church and Sunday school as well. We shall be glad to welcome them back for the next school year.

HUGHES COOPER OFFERS ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE PREPAREDNESS MOVEMENT. Urges Audience To Prepare For Strenuous Future Which Confronts Country—Sees Opportunity For Negro In South. Columbia, S. C., May 16. At morning chapel, Mr. Cooper in an inspiring way made plain the food situation and did not hesitate to show the friendliness of the well-thinking white people for the good colored people of the South. The students received his message and greeted him warmly. He urged them to prepare for the perilous conditions that confront us and to this intelligent audience he presented all phases of the question leading up to the possibilities and uncertainty of Russia's position in the great conflict and the admitted demonstration to the world of the food supply. They were all urged to prepare for every avenue to, to economize and take the message back to their homes in the various section of South Carolina, warning people of their danger and to join in the efforts to increase agricultural advantages and raise foodstuffs. Mr. Cooper also made a strong plea along the line of the opportunities for the Negro who would work in the South. Mr. Cooper was introduced by J. J. Atwell who cited the strong part that the American Negro has played in all wars in which the United States was concerned and told of the sincere patriotism that was expressed from all sides. He referred to the substantial opportunities in the South for the colored people and pled that the white people might give some thought to better wages and a square deal in order that the trend of migration might not be so large. He urged the establishment of Thrift Club Plan. Both speakers were met with hearty applause. President R. W. Mance presided. There were also a few remarks by Mr. Dickerson, the teacher of the North and a nephew of the late Bishop Dickerson who founded Allied University. A Thrift Plan. During the natural extravagancies that are common during this season of the year, and in view of the perils that will very likely confront the working masses hereenbouts in the winter and spring, such a plan would afford us an opportunity for placing in the savings department small sums that would otherwise be squandered. We make the suggestion that the Thrift Plan cover a period of 50 weeks, for 2, 5, 10 and 25 cents savings, with the customary interest as an inducement. The entire management would be with the bank and we would advise absolute control and deposit to the bank as is customary with the Christmas Savings Clubs. The Bank of Columbia is seriously considering the advisability of inaugurating a Thrift Club for colored people of Columbia and community, as a part of the plan for civic preparedness. BASS' DRUG STORE NEWLY FITTED AND RE-STOCKED.

At the Teachers' Meeting held in the Chestnut Street School, Thursday, May 10th, an address was delivered by Prof. Charles Stewart, of Chicago, on "Child Study." Mr. Stewart is connected with the Associated Press and then his broad experience and superior knowledge of life's material things gave to the teachers thoughts and facts worth while. Saturday morning, May 12th, the public school teachers of Portsmouth assembled in the Orpheum Theatre, High Street, to listen to a very helpful address by Mr. O. McBrien, Commissioner of Education, Washington, D.C. His subject was "The Essentials to Successful Teaching." In a practical, forceful, humorous manner, he drove home many truths. Wedding bells were ringing sweetly last Sabbath afternoon at the home of Mrs. Rachel Williams in Glasgow Street, where friends witnessed the quiet and happy union of William W. Brown, and Miss Effie Reed. Mr. Brown is a student of the law school at Lincoln and the bride a public school teacher in Norfolk and was given away by Mr. John Barnes. The ceremony was solemnized by the Rev. Mr. A. D. Weaver. Ices were served. The couple is spending their honeymoon in Baltimore. The Deaf, Dumb and Blind School of Newport News, Va., held its first Annual Commencement Friday, May 11th, a fitting climax to the pleasant and profitable year both for teachers and pupils.

Gordon's Laboratory THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE ELLISON'S MODEL By RUTH GRAHAM The two countries that are the choicest depositories of art are Italy and Spain. Italy is regarded as the world center of art, but it has been asserted that there are more famous pictures in the galleries of Spain than in any other country. The paintings of the great Murillo are chiefly to be found in the Spanish peninsula. It was for this reason that Tom Ellison, American art student, when he went abroad to study chose Spain in preference to Italy. He was a great admirer of Murillo, who has left the world so many beautiful pictures of the Madonna and the Christ Child. On reaching Spain Ellison hunted up the various pictures by the artist he admired and became more infatuated with them than ever. He was seized with a desire to paint a picture the central figure of which would be of the type of one of Murillo's Madonnas. For this he must have a model, and for his model he went up into the mountains, hoping to find her among the dark eyed Spanish daughters of mountaineers. One day while walking on a road on a plateau he came upon a girl tending a small flock of sheep. As he came near her she raised her eyes to his, and he knew at once he had found his model. There were in them trustfulness, purity, love. It occurred to Ellison to paint her as he found her sitting on a rock, a crook in her hand, a little lamb in her lap, while the sheep were nibbling the grass about her. To call out the expression he desired Ellison clatted with her, or, rather, to her, for he did most of the talking. He was a handsome fellow, with a musical voice, and had the faculty of imparting information attractively, and the girl listened to him with wrap attention. But she said nothing. Every day Dolores—that was her name—was at the place he first saw her tending the sheep, and every day Ellison brought his easel, and while she posed for him on her rock seat he sat on his camp stool before her with his canvas set up on his easel. Gradually the picture took shape, but the artist was a long time about his work. The position he chose for the girl was looking straight at him, for he wished the figure in the picture to appear to be looking at whoever gazed upon it. Ellison was so absorbed with his work that he did not notice what any one else would have seen plainly—that the girl was as much absorbed in the artist as the artist was absorbed in his picture. Another strange feature is that he got something of her wrapt expression on the canvas without being aware of what was causing it. When the painting was finished Ellison was delighted with it. And he had cause to be. It was a beautiful picture of a shepherdess-pure, innocent, loving. Ellison produced a gold piece, which he handed to his model, for he considered her well worth the price he paid for posing. She refused to take it. Ellison made every effort to induce her to do so. Failing, he gave her his heartfelt thanks. She was at the time looking up into his face with the same expression as when she had been posing. She looked so sweetly innocent that he bent down and kissed her as he would kiss a child. "I go down the mountain tomorrow," he said. "I will come here and bid you goodly." Gathering his belongings, he walked away from her. Before passing out of sight he turned and threw her a kiss. She was still looking straight at him with those Madonna eyes of hers, but made no motion. After he had gone a marvelous change came over her face. If Ellison had seen her then he would have wondered how with her for a model he could have made a picture of innocence. Had the innocence been there and had it been warped by love, or rather, the prospect of losing the object loved? The only explanation is that the lower the scale of humanity the nearer to the brute creation. The moods are there, but they have not been cultivated. Looking on the ground, Dolores saw that the artist had left the pipe he had smoked while working on his picture. She took it up and thrust it into her bosom. 'True to his promise, the next morning Ellison appeared to say goodby to his model. He gave her another kiss, which she accepted passively. Ellison noticed that her lips were cold. "Senor left his pipe," she said. "See, I have filled it with tobacco. Have one more smoke before you go." "No; I have only time to give you another kiss. I will smoke it tonight, thinking of you." That evening Ellison at his inn after supper lighted the pipe. There came a tiny flash. He wondered what could have caused it. The tobacco was very bad, and he concluded that he could smoke better of his own weed. Emptying the pipe on a stone pavement, there came several separate small explosions. Under the outer layer of tobacco had been placed a charge of gunpowder. Had he smoked longer he would probably have been blinded. This episode made a great change in Ellison. What during its occurrence had seemed to him a more trifling affair became later a very bitter memory. He never could again look upon the picture without seeing in the beautiful face not the former innocence, but the tuner wifi of the soul.

One of the most prominent drug-gists of America made a statement a few weeks ago which has caused a great deal of discussion among scientists in the medical press. He said: "If the now hair grower, Mildredina Hair Remedy, increases its sales as it has during the past year, it will be used by nearly every man, woman and child in America within eight years. "When Mildredina Hair Remedy is used almost universally, dandruff will disappear and with its departure baldness, itching scalp, splitting hair and all such scalp diseases will follow and twenty years from new a bald head will be a variety."

ADVERTISING Hampton Institute Notes Colonel Charles E. Hasbrook, Editor-in-chief of the Richmond TimesDispatch, has sent the following telegram to the "Greater Hampton Patriotic Movement," Chicago: "Hampton Institute, in this time of national stress, in keeping with its long and honorable traditions, is taking splendid and efficient steps to develop its men and women into worthy and useful citizens. Its agricultural extension work and instruction in military tactics are its greatest measures of war preparedness." Sergeant-Major C. M. Hooper, of the 5th New York Infantry, National Guard, has sent these telegrams to Hampton Institute: "Heywood B. Hill has recommended William McK. Hubbard, Leslie E. Booker, and John H. Watkins for the Fifteenth Infantry band. They are to receive forty dollars a month in addition to all expenses." "Am sending transportation from Hampton to New York, including sleeper, for W. McK. Hubbard, L. E. Booker, and J. H. Watkins, to leave by the Cape Charles boat to join Fifteenth Infantry band." The Hampton Institute Faculty have granted permission to these students to leave school and report for military service in New York. Heywood B. Hill was a member of the Hampton Institute Senior class. Maurice E. Thomasson, of Monticello, Ark., who is a member of the Hampton Institute Senior class, in discussing the question of Negro Migration, recently said: "The argument that only inefficient, lawless, never-do-well men would be involved in the exodus has been amply disproved by the fact that thousands of most trustworthy men—men who have spent years in the employ of one firm—and many land owning farmers, as well as common laborers, have gone. . . . Here lies the hope that when Southern white people have come to realize that better economic opportunities for Negroes do not decrease the prosperity of white men, but increase it; that better educated Negroes are not refractory, insurgent, but lawabiding efficient citizens, then will Southern men not return to the old order." "Chamberlain's Tablets Have Done Wonders for Me." "I have been a sufferer from stomach trouble for a number of years, and although I have used a great number of remedies recommended for this complaint, Chamberlain's Tablets is the first medicine that has given me positive and lasting relief." writes Mrs. Anna Kadin, Spenceport, N.

As a marked excep- tion among European people, the Irish have the white potato as their unil The native Hawsdians have as their unit of foodstuifs the poi root, a sort of potato; the Chinese, Japanese, Pili pinoes and the East Indians, general ly, have the rive as their unit, Wher there is a shortage in this unit the people starve if they do not ket relict from the outside, and this has ofter happened in the past, as many rend: era of the Journal and Guide muy re- call, There was a time when corn was th unit of foodstafis ia oar Souther States, and when very little wheat o Tye bread was seen or exten, It wie that way after the Civil War, Cont meal was mule into all sorts of dainty dishes, but the plain corn pone, a meal and salt and waler, was the mos popular and carried into the systen more health and strenyth thun all o the hifqlutin dishes made of meal an other things by the ambitious cook But wheat, in the long run, supplant ed corn, and is now regarded sill ove the country as the unit of foodstuffs What is the wheat prospect, then, be comes of parnmount importance ti everybody. The following Associnte Press dispatch, therefore, will be o general interest and information: Washington, May §.—Oricial wheat crop estimates, announced today, show that with the world facing a dread shortage, the United States, unless it cuts its Present consumption, —prutably will produce only enoush wheat this year to supply its own popu- ation. The forceast, compiled by the Department of Agriculture on conditions May 1, put this, coun- try’s winter wheat yield at 366,- 000,000 bushels, the smallest in thirteen years. There will be no estimate of spring wheat acreage until July, but with a crop of 250,- 000,000 bushels, which is higher than the average, this country would grow this year a total of only 616,000,000 bushels. The normal American consumption * with seed requirements, is put at slightly more. than 600,000,000 bushels. The Allies’ wheat requirements for the coming year are put at 500,000,000 bushels, as a mini- mam. The United States will be asked to supply more than half that amount. Wheat crops in other parts of the world are puor. The Argentine crop failed, and home consumption will require the entire yield. Canada’s produc- tion is confined chiefly to # spring, erop of normally about 200,000,- 000 bushels, much of which is available for export. Already, in many cities of the con try, the five-cont loaf of bread hy gone out of the market, haviny giv place to the ten-cent loaf. The si has not much increased. It will mo Yikely grow smaller than larger. Th means untold hardship to the ve poor, who make up so large a part the population of every city, and ¢ tails much sacrifice and solf-den upon the average person who depen upon a stipulated wage to feed | family, often a large one, and to p the rent and fuel and clothing charg besides, with little incidentals no m can number or figure upon until . gets to.them sneaking in on the side.

War has many ways to make itself felt and heard and feared, and pinehing the bread allowance is one of the most ter- rible. In view of all the facts in the sit- uation, it should be the first duty of the farmers who read The Journal and Guide to plant all the space possible in wheat or corn, and to raise as many hogs, and other domestic food animals, as they can, not only for their own use, but because there will be a ready demand for any surplus they may have by the millions who are not so situated as to raise such things. Now is the time to think about planting and to plant. | AS OTHERS SEE US. Jof the Scottish people, as Paul Tau- ‘rence Dunbar is of the Afre-American Leople, was deeply Instructed In the Joys and miseries of human existence.

Uncle Billy's Experience By DONALD CHAMBERLIN "Uncle Billy, why is it that all your colored friends marry and you remain a bachelor?" "Don' wan' to git married," replied Uncle Billy, with a grunt. "I fancy you must have been jilted." "I been fooled." "If it isn't a subject too near your heart to speak of, I would like to hear about it." "Near ma heart! Mo' likely near dat spot in ma head wha' de fernologists say de mad is. It war dis way: Mandy war a likely gal, an' I was gittin' to dat age whar a man gits tired o' cakewalks an' breakdowns an' all dat, an' I tink it time fo' me to settle down. I'd been po'ter on a sleeper cyar fo' nigh on to fifteen years, an' de tips war might' big. Sometimes dey war so big I thought I'd rudder be de po'ter dan de president. I tuk all de tips I got 'cept wha' I paid de railroad fo' de privilege ob wo'kin' fo' 'em, an' I tied it up in a red hanchicuff an' put it in de chimbly. "I wa'n't wok'in fo' de railroad any mo'. I war thinkin' bout gain' inter bizness. While I was waitin' fo' somepln' to turn up I reckoned it war might' lonesome light' all alone in ma house by myself, an' I got to thinkin' ob Mandy. Mandy she war twenty, au' I war part' nigh fifty. But I reckoned dis way: De sayin' is, 'Yo' mought as well hang fo' a sheep as a lamb, but I 'spected in matermony fo' de man hits 'Mought as well hang fo' a lamb as a tough ole sheep. So I tole Mandy ef she marry me she don't hab to wok no mo', 'cause I got 'nuff fo' bote ob us. "Mandy say she was within, but I talk notice she didn't say it lak her heart was set on it. But ma heart was set on it, and I often talk notice she was set on it, and ma heart was set on many things, and ma heart was set on many things, with him. He all might good to die, but till she pick up de poker and knock he brains out. After dat she got all he money, an' dat war what she was atter. "I was bigger fool dan dat nun, but I come out in de end better'n he. De Lawd saved me. Somebody tole me dat Mandy war keephr' company will Mose Tucker when I axed her to marry me. I axed Mandy ef dat war so. Mandy say: 'Mose Tucker no' count. I lub yo' better'n all de worl.' Den I say to dat nigger wha' tole me dat: 'Wha' yo' say Mandy lub Mose Tucker fo?' Mandy lub me better'n all de worl.' An' he say, 'No fool lak an ole fool.' But dat didn' count wid me nohow. "Mandy an' me war gwine ter he married on de fourt ob June, when de roses war bloomin'. De dhy bode' de fourt I war walkin' tong de street when I kick a wire hangin' from a telegraph pole. It must' a' been a live wire, kase it tuk all de life out ob me. Anyway I didn't know outtin' twill all ob a sudden I woke up in a coiln. I war lynn in ma house in de idhn room, wha' had been got ready fo' to bring ma bride de nex' day. De lamp war burnin' low, an' dere wan't nobody in de room. "Wha' day gwine leab me all alone fo'? war de first ting I tink ob, 'Ef I'm did I air entitled to de respec' ob a regular colp'. Ef I hain' daid wha' I doin' in a collin? Dut's what' I link to know." "Jist den I hear some low talkin' in de udder room. I listen, an' I hearn Mandy's voice. "Mose.' she said, 'I wonder wha' de ole man kep' he money.' "Mebbe he put it in de bank.' "Don't belieb it. I think he kep' it heath. I'm gwine to look." "I keep still, an' dey go huntin' 'bout in de bureau drawers. In de closet, everywha', twilt Mose he looked in de chimbly. Out he pull de banchleuff wid all mn sabens in it. He an' Mandy dey emptied all de tips I got for fifteen yeas' on a table an' war lookin' at it all wid de green in dere eyes. Den dey began to count it. While de war countin' it I sot up in de codin. Purt' soffo Mandy she turn roun', an' she see me sottin' up lookin' right at her. She gib a shrick an' tumble down on de doof'. Den Mose he turn, an' he see me sottin', an' he backs outen de room, he eyes sot on me all de while he war backin' an' a-buigh' out ob he haid. "I war might' glad. I Jes' dived out ob dat coffin' if I was jumpin' out ob a boat, an' I run atter dat nigga', an' I catched him, an' I made he eyes a lot bigger 'n dey war befo' when he war lookin' at me sottin in de collin. "After I finished punchin' Mose I went back to find Mandy. Dere won't no Mandy dere, an' dere won't none ob my tips what I'd been fifteen yea's collectin' mudder. "When I see Mandy ag'in she try mak' billeve she war might' sorry. I axed her wha' my money all gone to. She say she hain't seen no money. Den I tell her I sor her an' Mose countin' it an' I went atter Mose an' gib him a hamin' an' went back an' she an' de money war hof missin'. Mandy she eried an' said I had a bad dream when I war comin' to muself. "I had Mandy tooken befo' de judge, an' when he heered my accursation he said, says no: "Vo' been puttin' up a job. Yo' bett' go back to heaben, whar dey don' lay up no tre giures." "If dat war wha' yo' call jiltin' den I reckon I war jilted might' bad." An Ambition and a Record THE needs of the South are identical with the needs of the Southern Railways; the growth and success of one means the upbuilding of the other. The Southern Railway asks no favor—no special privilege not accorded to others. The ambition of the Southern Railway Company is to see that unity of interest that is born of co-operation between the public and the railroads; to see perfected that fair and frank policy in the management of railroads which invites the confidence of governmental agencies; to realize that liberality of treatment which will enable it to obtain the additional capital needed for the acquisition of better and enlarged facilities incident to the demand for increased and better service; and, finally— To take its niche in the body politic of the South alongside of other great industries, with no more, but with equal liberties, equal rights and equal opportunities. “The Southern Serves the South.” 14 CALL AND SEE 951 Church St., N WOOD WOOD Cord Hall Q'rtir 9.00 4.50 2.25 Heater Wood..... 9.00 4.50 2.25 Oak Slab..... 7.00 3.50 1.75 Oak and Pine Slab..... 7.00 3.50 1.75 Forrying With Inferior Wood and Order Some of Our Solid, All Quality Slab, or Stick Wood WHITE & BRO TELEPHONES 750, 751 and 7241 Meton Avenue and Norfolk & Western Guide Quality Commencement Announcement Invitations and Program 951 Church St., Norfolk, Va.
