Official Organ of the Saint Paul Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. THE NORTHWESTERN ROCKEFELLER DONATES HUGE SUM N.A.A.C.P.Writes Letter to President FORTIETH YEAR, NO. 49 ROCK N.A.A FIRST LETTER TO COOLIDGE SCORES LYNCHING OF MAN Lynching Evidence of Continued Inability to Suppress Mob Murder. New York, March, 13.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Ave., through its secretary, James Weldon Johnson, made public the text of a letter to President Coolidge, calling his attention to the burning at the stake on March 2 in Georgia of a man by a mob, whose members made no attempt to conceal their identity. The letter offers this lynching as evidence of the continued inability of the states to suppress mob murder and as sustaining President Coolidge's plea to congress that federal action be taken to end the crime of lynching. The letter is as follows: "My dear Mr. President: As evidence of the continued inability of the states to apprehend and punish lynchers, I send you enclosed a clipping from The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph of March 3. I wish to call your attention to the statement made therin, both in the headline and in the account of the lynching of a Negro in Georgia on March 2, that the lynchers are well known in the community and that there was no attempt at concealment of features. Wire Governor. "We have wired Governor Cliff M. Walker of Georgia as follows: "On March 1 a Negro accused of crime was captured by a mob and burned at the stake near the town of Rocky Ford, Screven County, Ga. So reliable a paper as The Macon Telegraph in printing an account of this lynching states in the headline, "Lynchers All Well Known," and in the body of the article, "Men well known in the community were in the mob. There was no attempt at concealment of features." We note that you have offered a reward of $500 for the apprehension of guilty persons. We earnestly urge that in order that the state of Georgia vindicate the law and uphold its sovereignty you also call upon the police authorities of Screven county, particularly the sheriff, and use all the available police powers of the state at your command to secure the prompt arrest, prosecution and punishment of the murderers whose identity and connection with the crime are known. We urge this irrespective of the guilt or innocence of the victim, which cannot now be determined by due process of law." Recalls Speech. "We submit this matter as sustaining the correctness of the statement made by you in your first address to congress, that 'the congress ought to exercise all its power of prevention and punishment against the hideous crime of lynching.' "May we, in offering this new example of mob bestiality which disgraces and humiliates America before the civilized world, respectfully and earnestly request you to urge upon the incoming congress the necessity of enactment of an adequate law making lynching a federal crime." SPOKANE BARS DIXON'S "BIRTH OF A NATION" Spokane, Wash., March 13.—The protest of the N. A. A. C. P., headed by Rev. E. B. Reed, Pastor of Calvary Baptist church (cofored) against the showing of the "Birth of a Nation" resulted in the outlawing of the film in this city last week. The City Council, under the direction of Dan Dunning, secretary to Commissioner of Public Safety, ordered the picture stopped. The engagement of the picture was at one of the city's leading theatres.

VICTIM OF 1919 MOB BEGINS $102,000 SUIT New Orleans, La., March 13.—A suit for $102,000 growing out of the mobbing of a colored labor leader at Bogalusas in 1919, was brought up for trial in Judge Beatte's Federal Court last Tuesday. The plaintiff is Sol J. Dacus, colored, and the defendants the Great Southern Lumber Company and six former white employees. Ducus' home was destroyed and the lives of himself and family threatened during the labor war, which resulted in the death of four whites. SEGREGATION ORDINANCE SUPPORTED BY LA. COURT New Orleans, La., March 13.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People lost its battle in the Louisiana Supreme Court last Tuesday to nullify a segregation measure passed by the New Orleans City Council a short time ago. The "segregation ordinance" restricts colored citizens from dwelling in white neighborhoods and white citizens from living in colored neighborhoods. It was introduced and passed in the Council immediately after the stir recently created here by the "Louisiana Segregation Club" an organization of whites, including many leaders in the city, openly united to restrict the residential privileges of the Negro. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1925 N.A.A.C.P.AWARDS WALKER PRIZE TO THELMA BERLACK Presentation of $100 Scholarship to be Made at Dinner of Women's Auxiliary. New York, March 13.—The $100 Madame Walker Scholarship, allotted to the New York Women's Auxiliary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, for showing the greatest percentage of increase over last year's returns of any branch in the Association, has been awarded to Miss Thela Berlack, it was announced today. Thirty-four votes were cast giving Miss Berlack 16, Miss Mae Chinn 14 and Miss Louisa Hill 4. Presentation will be made at a dinner of the Women's Auxiliary, at Craigg's on the night of Wednesday March 11. On that occasion Miss Berlack will tell of what a scholarship means to a student, Miss Chinn will sing and Miss Frankie Dixon will play. The following letter from William R. Hayward, Principal of the Theodore Roosevelt High School, concerning Miss Berlack's record was made public: "I am asked to say a word about Thelma E. Berlack, a graduate of this school who is a candidate for the Madame Walker Scholarship. "Miss Berlack graduated from a four-year course in this school in June, 1924, with the highest honors. Her scholarship throughout the entire school was exceptional and her average for the four years was the highest of any one in her class. She also stood highest in scholarship in the entire school. "Her conduct was always above reproach and she was always ready and willing at all, times to serve in any capacity whatsoever. Her contribution to the welfare of the school was remarkably high and she is entitled to the fullest credit both as a student and as a young woman of character and ability." Miss Berlack was for a time a member of the staff at the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. Exodus Will Bring Large Crowd North Exodus Will Bring Large Crowd North Washington, D. C., March 13. Oppressed people from the southern states have begun their spring; 1925, exodus, heading northward into Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Missouri and other points farther West. Welfare workers and employment managers of Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus, Indianapolis, Wheeling, Pittsburg and typical industrial centers of the country report an inflow of sturdy southerners, who at once become applicants for placement in the factories and mills. It is stated that employment and problems of health and housing have increased in all the northern industrial centers, and that the migration supply indicates that it will leap high in practically every northern industrial city during the coming season. State and federal authorities, as well as privately-controlled agencies, are watching the migration movement, which is purely a voluntary one on the part of the people, and are co-operating with each other in the hope of diminishing to a minimum all problems which may arise because of this spring's migratory movement, which will probably be of large dimensions. Fred. C. Tobie, Long Resident ofSt. Paul, Dies Frederick C. Toble, who died suddenly in Chicago February 27th, was buried Thursday, March 5th from St. Peter Claver Catholic Church, the funeral mass being held at 9 a.m. Rev. Father Theobald officiating. Mrs. Toble and sister, Mrs. Carrie Lindsay, accompanied the remains from Chicago. Mr. Toble was born in Faribault, Minn., and resided in St. Paul for many years. He was a retired city fireman. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Ada Toble, and four daughters, Misses Ruth and Minnie Tobie, Mrs. Rosamond Collier and Mrs. Frances Hirsch; and granddaughter, Miss Rosamond Collier. Citizens Ask Equal Break in Ford Jobs Public-spirited business men of this city, headed by E. C. Carter of the local Urban league and Fred D. McCracken, prominent realtor and former housing expert of the United States Department of Labor, have been seeking to bring about the employment of a proportionate number of workers along racial lines, skilled and unskilled, when the local Ford Motor Works opens its Minnesota plant in the near future. It is estimated that this wing of the great Ford automobile industry will begin work with about 1,000 hands and that within a year the working force may swell to more than 10,000. With the prospect of an early spring migration of our people from the southern states, a portion of which will doubtless enter the Twin Cities district, local citizens and welfare workers are urging that the Ford company extend its usual policy of employing our Race in the St. Paul works. FORMER ST. PAUL PASTOR APPOINTED INSPECTOR Omaha, Neb., March 13.—Gov. McMullen has appointed Rev. E. H. McDonald, pastor of St. John Baptist Church, this city, to the office of Deputy Oil Inspector, with headquarters at Omaha. Rev. Z. E. McGee, pastor of Green Baptist Church, has been a zealous supporter of Mr. McDonald, using not only his personal influence, but that also of his large congregation in behalf of the appointment of his friend. This is the first recognition the race has received since the late elections. The selection of Mr. McDonald meets with general approval. He is a graduate of Chicago University. Rev. McDonald will be remembered by many residents of St. Paul, where he formerly held pastorates. He has many friends in the Saintly City who will be pleased to learn of his good fortune. CALIFORNIA LOAN CO. NEARS $100,000 MARK Los Angles, Cal., Mar 13.—After operating for a little over a year, the Liberty Loan Association, the last financial institution of the race to be organized here, will soon show assets of $100,000, according to a recent statement by Norman O. Houston, field manager. The association has enjoyed unusual success and filled a long-felt need here. Some of the wealthiest and most influential colored men and women in the city are guarantee stockholders. A. Hartley Jones is secretary-manager. Kingston, Jamaica, March 13—The libel suit for debt filed against the Black Cross Line Sleamer, the Booker T. Washington, has been satisfactorily settled and the vessel released to sail. ARKANSAS MAKES APPEALTON.A.A.C. P. FOR SCHOOL AID Colored Americans Should Help This Project Says National Secretary. Mrs. Bertha Cook Sanders, Superintendent of Schools in Phillips County, Arkansas, scene of the 1919 peonage riots whose cases the N. A. A. C. P. investigated and successfully fought through the highest courts of the country, has appealed to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for aid in building a County Training School for Negroes at Elaine, Arkansas. Mrs. Sanders states that the school will accommodate about 800 boys and girls and will be situated in the best alluvial land of the state. Mrs. aSnders writes in part: "I need financial assistance, and if I could get some help from your organization the people-of our County would appreciate it. "The white people and Negroes are doing all in their power to have the best opportunity for the Negro people in our State." Commenting upon Mrs. Sanders letter, James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. said: "Coming after the terrible revelations of peonage brought to light through the riots of 1919, the appeal for a training school for Negroes is significant of a more hopeful situation in that part of Arkansas. If, as Mrs. Sanders states, whites and Negroes are now working together to obtain educational opportunity for Negro girls and boys, that is a highly encouraging development and should have the support of colored people throughout the United States. For in education lies one of the chief safeguards against peonage and oppression of the colored farmer. "Those colored Americans who are willing and able to do so should help this project by writing to Mrs. Bertha Cook Sanders, Superintendent of Phillips County Schools, Helena, Arkansas, for further information and, if they are satisfied about the nature of the work projected, would do well to make a contribution toward the school for Negro children at Elaine." TWIN CITY SOCIAL WORKERS CLUB MEETS The Twin City Social Workers Club on Thursday at 6 p. m., at the home of Mrs. Lenora Brown, 455 St. Anthony Ave. At a previous meeting held at the Phyllis Wheatley House on Feb. 28, the following officers were elected: E.

PYTHIANS WILL ERECT MILLION DOLLAR TEMPLE New Orleans, La., March 13. Through the vote of the Knights of Pythias Temple Commission, a resolution has been passed to locate the new $1,250,000 national temple of the society in Chicago. A site has already been designated for the luxurious edifice, which will be ten stories high, at the corner of 37th and State streets. Over a million dollars in bonds, backed by securities amounting to $7,000,000, will be floated to finance the building. Generous Donor To Negro Education M. (Courtesy of St. Paul Dispatch) John D. Rockefeller, Jr. (Courtesy of St. Paul Dispatch) John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Mrs.S.J.Brown Writes History of Eastern Star The history of our order of the Eastern Star in our group is the name of a neatly bound new book that has just been placed on the market by Mrs. S. Joe Brown, author and publisher, 1058 Fifth Ave., Des Moines, Iowa. Mrs. Brown, who is a past grand matron of Iowa and present grand matron of the International Conference of O. E. S. and who has traveled extensively, covering practically every state in the Union and portions of the Dominion of Canada, has been for some time making a survey and research regarding the origin and achievements of the order in our group and reports that there are in operation in the United States alone 36 grand chapters, with one in Ontario, Canada, and another in Liberia, Africa, all comprising about 3,400 subordinate chapters, with more than 100,000 members. Many of these chapters and grand chapters are maintaining widows' and orphans homes, as well as assisting in the erection and maintenance of Masonic temples, valued all the way from $12,000 to $700,000. The history also contains the date and place of the organization of the first chapter, the first grand chapter and the date and place of organization of all the various grand chapters with their history to date and illustrated views of what the author styles outstanding tangible evidence of the achievements of the order, with a brief historical sketch of each. No number of the order of Eastern Star can afford to be without this history and all Race lovers should read it, that they also might be appraised of the marvelous achievements of this order.

GIVES TO HAMPTON AND TUSKEGEE FUND Donation Made Unconditionally Brings Endowment Fund To $3,500,000. New York, March 13.—John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has given $1,000,-000 to the Hampton and Tuskegee institutes for Negroes, it was announced by Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, chairman of the special gifts committee of the Hampton-Tuskegee endowment fund. Mr. Rockefeller's donation was made unconditionally and brings the endowment fund now being raised to $3,500,000. In a letter accompanying the gift, Mr. Rockefeller said, "Inasmuch as I have been profoundly interested in these schools ever since my father took me as a small boy to visit Hampton, when General Armstrong was its head; because they provide an education which fits boys and girls to be useful citizens, whether they go forward to higher and professional education or go directly into agriculture, industry or business; because they stress the development of character along with the development of mind and body, and because of my life-long interest in the colored race. I shall count it a privilege to participate in the campaign to the extent of $1,000,000. As I understand it, this leaves you still $1,500,000 short of your goal." Dr. Stokes characterized Mr. Rockfeller's gift as marking "the union of all those forces whose cooperation must be secured if the Negro is to be given an adequate opportunity in our country and if we are to have increasing inter-racial peace and good will." Other recent gifts of Mr. Rockfeller to Negro institutions included one to Fiske Institute and one to the Cleveland Colored Home. Hampton's enrollment is about 2,200 and Tuskegee's still larger. Both maintain extension departments, which reach more thousands. All the students at both places do part-time work. N.A.A.C.P.Sun. Forum Meeting Is Well Attended N.A.A.C.P.Sun. Forum Meeting Is Well Attended The meeting of the St. Paul Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. on last Sunday at Little Pilgrim was well attended. Mr. Louis S. Headley's address on "How the Property of Deceased Persons is Cared For" proved to be quite an interesting subject. The difference between an administrator and an executor was clearly explained, also the duties which should be performed by trust companies into whose hands the care of property is often placed. Judge W. Willis, the president of the branch, gave an interesting outline of his trip to South America, Porta Rica, Panama, Jamaica, and many other points. Miss Leah Mae Minor's instrumental solo was highly pleasing, so much that an encore was responded to. Tickets were given out of the Recital to be given by the branch at which Mrs. Dovie Adams Welsh will be presented at Pilgrim Baptist Church, Cedar St., and Summit Ave., on April 15; admission 50 cents. It is the desire of the board that all the members assist in this recital, so that the branch will be able to send in a large proportion of its apportionment to the National Office, which is $300 this year. Last year more than $450 was sent in to the New York office. FORMER ST. PAUL MAN DIES IN HOT SPRINGS Mr. William Evans passed away in Hot Springs, Ark., March 2nd.

ACQUIRING AN EDUCATION It happened twice, nay thrice—a poor fool graduated from a good school, and a good phool graduated from a poor skule! “What fools we mortals be.” The schools say it was not the school’s fault, but the fool's. That sounds reasonable. However, if it all depends upon the individual's self effort in school, why not outside, or anywhere? But the fool says it was not the fool’s fault, but the school’s. Well, we must remember that it is only a fool that says it, and it isn’t so. Everybody, inside or outside of any school, college or university knows it’s up to the individual to make good wherever he is. Hence it is right that we should stare the friendly fact in the face. An education may be acquired outside of an institution of learning by any individual possessed with an ambition and determination to succeed. Lincoln is a fine example of self-education. Frederick Douglass taught himself by “burning the midnight oil.” Thou- sands of earnest men and women, engaged successfully in the world’s work today, are self-educated. Thousands are busy in the art of self-instruction, acquiring knowledge and fitting themselves, technically, for the trades and the higher professions, through the aid of correspondence courses in connection with universities pro- vided with what is called the “extension system,” or other schoals which specialize altogether in such work. Even the United States government disseminates knowledge by the issuance of bulletins that cover a multitude of subjects, through its different depart- ments. Agriculture is largely taught to profitable advantage through the county agents in the states of the North. With the gifts of money now being bestowed upon Hampton and Tuskegee, it is to be hoped that these institutions will enlarge their extension service that has proven a boon to so many students. A liberal education may be acquired by any person with backbone and sufficient will power. The public library is a helpful factor. It may mean the denial of some sleep, but as a race we can afford such a sacrifice. We have had too much slumber. It is time now to keep awake. Education is easy to acquire and the cost is the cheapest in- vestment a man can make. It pays the largest dividend. REAL FRIENDS OF THE NEGRO The announcement of Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, Chairman of the Special Gifts Committee, Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund campaign, of the donation of $1,000,000 by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., following closely upon the gift of $250,000 from Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist and benefactor of the race, brings the institutions within striking distance of the $2,000,000 donation proposed by Mr. George Eastman, the Kodak manufac- turer, last fall when he allotted $15,000,000 of his stock to various benefactions. The Eastman gift was contingent upon the Endow- ment Committee’s ability to raise $5,000,000. The gifts of both Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Rosenwald were made without conditions. Thus far $3,500,000 has been realized. The munificence of such great sums of money for Negro education by furthering the usefulness of these two institutions argue well for the future of the race. Through repression and the denial of the right to secure an education by some of the states in the South, the Negro has been kept jliterate for the purpose of exploitation. Large percentages of Negro children of school age are not enrolled in school in southern states today. The salvation of the race is through education and religion. The people of the northern states unfamiliar with these facts will find it hard to realize the pitiable condition to be found jin the South where the value of education is not fully appreciated. ‘Twen. ty-eight and six-tenths per cent of the total number of Negro chil- dren between the ages of 10 and 14, living in the rural areas of Alabama, did not attend school in 1920; in Georgia the correspond- ing percentage was 32.5; in Louisiana 40; in Mississippi 26.2. * There is nothing more distressing to a parent—even though “he may be illiterate himself—than to be unable to give his child the advantages of an education. These conditions are alarming and should arouse the consciousness of the nation to overcome them. Illiteracy is the cause of vice and crime. The only thing that will successfully combat either and suppress lynching—burn- ing at the stake—is by educating the masses. The real friends of the race are loyally contributing to the cause of his education, for which we are profoundly grateful. A MODEL OF PERFECTION ville Enterprise is the acme of typ rfection.

Gleanings from Our Exchanges THE GREAT JOURNALIST “The great journalist, like the great painter, must have a ricl intellectual and moral background. All that he can learn in hi: college course of history or literature or economics or science wil flow into his writing in future years. He should know, too, th traditions, and the men of his profession. He must come to fee the responsibility resting upon every man who uses ink and whit paper to inform afd persuade the world. “Moreover, the journalist must learn to observe and to reflect By incessant drill he will increase the capacity of his mind Through such training he will enhance his opportinity to achiev: success. ~ “Finally, the true journalist must have an insatiable ‘itch’ t write. Good newspaper stories are vivid pictures, with words fo form and color and typewriters for brushes. So the journalis must learn to write well, to express himself simply, tersely, an forcefully.”—Bulletin of the University of Iowa. * * * . > Americanization Series The Bulletin-Appeal will publish, each week, biographies and auto-biographies of men and women of the race who have con- tributed something worthwhile to the history of our common country. The object of these articles is to acquaint. the youth-of the race, both native born and alien, with facts that are not to be found in the average school history. There are im the United States a large number of aliens of the colored races. The immigration laws limit the number of whites of each nationality, forbids orientals, but permits the darker races to enter with slight restriction. This fact is due, no doubt, out of deference to the American Negro. It devolves a duty, however, upon the race to prepare the new comers for American citizenship. That they may know America better We present the biography of Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield—Celebrated Cantatrice. cE e ELIZABETH TAYLOR GREENFIELD Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield was born gt Natehez, Miss., in 1809, of slave parents. She died April 25, 1876, at Philadelphia, Pa. Her patronymic was Taylor. A wéalthy Quaker lady from Philadelphia, a Mrs. Greenfield, who was touring the South at the time, purchased Elizabeth from her owner when she was but a year old. “Returning to her home with the wee tot, she reared her carefully as though she were her own, giving her every advantage in the way of schooling and Christian teaching that was possible. Between these two persons existed the affectionate relations of mother and daughter, which continued to the death of Mrs. Green- field in 1844, Early in life little Elizabeth exhibited a fondness for singing. A physician living in her neighborhood, himself musically inclined, heard her sing and at once took an interest in her, teaching her to play the guitar as an accompaniment, unknown to her foster moth- er—for such she was. A malicious person, bent of causing trou- ble, informed Mrs. Greenfield of what Elizabeth was doing, where- upon the latter called Elizabeth to account in the following words: “Elizabeth, is it true that thee art learning music and can play upon the guitar?” “It is true,” replied the young woman in con- fusion. “Go and get thy guitar, and let me hear thee sing.” This was her first appraisement of Elizabeth’s talent, and hearing her she said: “Elizabeth, whatever thee wants, thee shall have.” . At the death of Mrs. Greenfield, Elizabeth was left upon her own resources, although the good lady made ample provision for her in her will, which was contested by relatives in a long legal battle, resulting ini their favor. | Having been cheated out of her legacy she started for Buffalo, where she had some friends. While on board a steamer, en route, filled with the exuberance of melody, she occasionally gave vent to her emotions in subdued song. She attracted the attention of one of the passengers, Mrs. Potter, wife of General Potter, wealthy so- cial and civic leader. Mrs. Potter became interested in her, and through her influence a benefit concert was arranged. Her first public appearance created a furore in musical circles. Critics were loud in their acclaim and termed her the “African Nightingale” as an offset to Jenny Lind, then at the zenith of her fame and called the “Swedish Nightingale.” After a tour through the United States Elizabeth went to Europe to further perfect herself. Her singing took England by storm. «She was commanded to appear before the Queen and the nobility, who gave testimony of her wonderful gift. Her trip abroad was a triumph, both artistically and financially. Returning to America she again took up her residence at Phil- adelphia—the scene of her happy girlhood—where she engaged in teaching vocal culture and occasionally singing in public. She died at the age of 68. The race has produced many musical people, but Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield, who became known by the so’ briquet of the “Black Swan,” was the first great prima donna, and left a record that has never been equaled, She was the contemporary of Madame Parodi, Kate Hayes and Jenny Lind, who were among the world’s greatest singers. A comparison of the popularity of Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield and Jenny Lind is significant by the fact that the latter gave a concert in Rochestér, N. Y., to a house only half filled, and the for- mer, on the following night, at the same theater, filled it to over- flowing. Of this magnificent singer the Milwaukee Sentinel, in April, 1852, printed the following: “What shall we say? That we were delighted and surprised? All who were present know that from their own feelings. We can only say that we have never heard a voice like hers—one that with such ease and with such absence of all effort could range from the highest to the lowest notes.” She possessed a marvelous voice, embracing 27 notes, reach- ing from the sonorous bass of a baritone to the highest soprano—a voice with a range of more than three octaves, ‘THE NORTHWESTERN-BULIZTIN APPHAL =f ‘A Digest of General ther.

P. last week received a report from Palm Beach, Fla., stating that after the conviction and sentence of a white ex-policeman to 20 years in jail for murdering a colored boy, the City Council of Palm Beach went to the unheard of length of appropriating $1,000 of City funds for the purpose of assuring the ex-policeman an appeal and a new trial. Letters to the Editor To the Editor of the Bulletin-Appeal: Too much praise cannot be given Mr. and Mrs. Noble Sissle for taking the role of chaperones to members of their theatrical organization, the "Chocolate Dandles." They personally keep oversight of the young boys and girls to the extent that their moral conduct remains unimpaired. Should an acute interest occur between couples, the Blakes, ever on the alert, advise and encourage matrimony. This order-must be confirmed regardless of the position they hold, or else their service is discontinued. The result of their efforts keeps their company one of unusual merit from the standpoint of morality. The men who are married take their wives with them, and this has a moralizing influence upon the younger members—bany of whom are the scions of some of the best families and are graduates from high schools or colleges. Noble Sissle is the son of a pioneer Methodist minister of the Lexington Conference. The Cory M. E. Church, Cleveland, Ohio, is an outstanding monument to his memory. His mother was an earnest member of the Woman's Home Missionary Society. Having been brought under such strong influence is responsible for the attitude Mr. Sissle takes in his conduct of life. Messrs. Sissle and Blake have an exceptional company of clean minded young people, and are determined to keep it up to the highest moral standard. MRS A. D. McFARLAND.
