HOSPITAL CHIEF QUITS UNDER FIRE Thrills And Spills Greet Fair Visitors RESIGNATION IS VOLUME II. NO. 31 STATE FAIR HELD ATTENTION AS NEVER IN HISTORY STATE FAIR HELD ATTENTION AS NEVER IN HISTORY Tragedy Interrupts Auto Race When One Driver Is Killed; Another Burned. "INDIA" PROVES ART IN DISPLAYING FIREWORKS Concessions, and Cafeterias Are Operated Efficiently by Race Numbers. One automobile race driver was killed and another probably fatally burned in two spectacular accidents before 50,000 people at the Minnesota State Fair race track Wednesday. A third automobile driver was severely injured in the auto polo match when the opposing car ran into his machine and overturned it. The man killed was: OWEN B. VAN DRAKE, 31 years old, 690 St. Peter street, St. Paul, a driver for the Hall-Herschbach Motor company, 117 University avenue west, St. Paul. The injured are: JOSEPH LEHMAN, 31 years old, 1506 Jefferson street northeast, employed by the Faber Motor company, 250 Plymouth avenue. WALTER STERLING, 27 years old, Wichita, Kansas, a member of the Canadian Championship polo team. Thrown Against Wall. Van Drake was killed when he was thrown headlong into a concrete retaining wall just beyond the bleachers to the right of the grandstand. His head was crushed and mangled and he died in an ambulance while being rushed to the State Fair Emergency hospital. Lehman's automobile crashed into a fence on the far side of the mile track. His body was enveloped in blazing gasoline. His own presence of mind saved him from being burned to death. He ran to the grass on the infield, threw himself to the ground and rolled over and over to put out the flames. Burning Car Hits Fence. The accident in which Lehman was burned was the more spectacular of the two. A shrill cry swept over the huge grandstand as his car plunged into the fence, throwing the driver headlong. The driver's mother was in the grandstand and fainted when she saw the dust, fire and timbers shoot into the air. She was carried to an ambulance and taken to the emergency hospital. The race was re-run. Van Drake was killed in the 10-mile invitation race for Minnesota drivers. He was driving a Ford special, a racing car constructed out of a Ford motor with overhead valves. Spectacular Features. One of the unique features of the fair was "India," the spectacular display of fireworks which was a nightly attraction. Splendid weather augmented the attendance. The style show proved a great attraction, especially the two pages who opened the book for the Fashion Revue. Many race people of the Twin Cities operated concessions and cafeterias. The fair was one of the most successful in the history of Minnesota. The Uptown Sanitary baseball club defeated the Sifo Product Co., 10-3, at Dunning field Sunday afternoon. Davis and Luck were the batteries for the Sanitarys. Sunday, September 9, they will be at Shurburue, Minn., and expect to defeat them. Roach and Lee Davis will be the batteries for that date.

FAMOUS PANCAKE WOMAN IS KILLED IN AUTO CRASH Became World Famed During Her Exhibition at World's Fair Thirty Years Ago. Mrs. Nancy Green, nationally known as "Aunt Jemima" of pancake fame, was killed Tuesday in Chicago. She was the victim of an automobile accident. Mrs. Green developed a national reputation following the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893. Her skill in preparing flapjacks caused one of the foremost milling concerns to purchase her recipe. Since then "Aunt Jemima Pancake Flour" has appeared in all markets of the world. For years "Aunt Jemima" was a prominent figure at fairs all over the country, where she demonstrated her ability as a pancake and flapjack turner. These tours were continued until age overtook youth and the famous lady returned to her home in Chicago. Active in Church. "Aunt Jemima," as she was best known, was very active in civic and church affairs. Her generosity along charity lines soon won for her a reputation almost equal to her flapjack fame. In church circles she was for years a staunch and active representative. Her willingness to always serve probed conclusively that fame did not rob her of Christian living nor success bury her duty to others. Although she had reached the age of 80 years, she still did much for the good of the race. Few people knew her as Mrs. Nancy Green (intimate friends only) yet she was known all over Chicago as "Aunt Jemima," as practically every old resident had at some time met her during her tours as demonstrator. Her acquaintances were nation-wide. She was killed when a car driven by Dr. H. S. Seymour collided with a truck and hurtled onto the sidewalk where she was standing. Wins Promotion in Salary; Rank (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Sept. 7.—B. G. Johnson of the collector of customs' office here has just been notified by his chief collector, Nellis Juul, of his promotion in rank and salary to a first-class position in the local personnel. Congressman Morton D. Hull of the Second district, seconded by Mr. A. L. Jackson, were responsible for the promotion, of which Mr. Johnson is justly deserving. Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Pickett, 725 Sherburne avenue, have moved to 1045 Cross street. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1923 J. Finlay Wilson Reelected as Opposing Candidates Withdraw Bulletin Representative Thoroughly Covers Sessions Held in Windy City. CANDIDATES WITHDRAW IN FAVOR OF WILSON All Chicago Response to "Hello Bill" When Antlered Herd Take Over City. When Dr. J. J. Q. Mills, past grand exalted ruler, dropped the gavel at 8 o'clock Friday morning, bringing to a close the 24th annual convention of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, it marked the closing of what was, in many respects, the most remarkable session in the history of the order. The year had broken all previous records for the institution of new lodges as well as the increase in membership and the treasury. In addition to this, territory had been invaded and lodges set up in states and countries which heretofore had been closed to all attempts to invade them. All day Saturday and Sunday rumors were flying thick and fast as to startling disclosures that were to be made, and when the grand lodge convened every one was alert to hear something of a sensational nature. But the cooler heads evidently got the belligerent factions together and what was expected to be a most stormy gathering resolved itself into one of the most peaceful and harmonious sessions in the history of the order. On Sunday evening, at the Wendell Phillips high school, the annual sermon was preached by the grand sermon, the Rev. George Avant. A splendid musical program was rendered in conjunction with the sermon, and the only drawback was that the building was inadequate to accommodate the throngs that sought to gain admission and hundreds were turned away. The great number of delegates and members of the order, who thus early were upon the scene, was an indication that, in point of attendance at least, this grand session was to surpass all others. On Monday afternoon, in the same building, the opening exercises were held and the keys of the city were presented to the Antlered herd and their friends, not by a representative, but by his honor the mayor himself. The Hon. Edward H. Wright was the presiding officer and his opening address was a gem of thought, delivered in as masterly manner. The governor of the state sent a representative in the person of former Mayor Hale Tompson, and the manner in which the audience received him was ample evidence of the esteem in which the Negroes of Chicago hold him. Morris Responds. Our own Wm. R. Morris responded to Mr. Thompson in his usual dignified manner. Many other prominent grand lodge members contributed to what was a most splendid program. By this time (Monday evening) visitors were arriving in such numbers that the headquarters were literally Announcement The Bulletin wishes to announce the acquisition of Mrs. Mae Edwards, 3841 Fourth avenue south, as staff correspondent in Minneapolis. She will gladly receive social news and other items of interest. Mrs. Edwards needs no introduction, as she is well known in Minneapolis, being employed as telephone operator at the Maternity hospital. She is a graduate of Willerforce college and recently took a course in sociology at the University of Minn. Much of the social activities of the Mill City were contributed to the Bulletin by Mrs. Edward prior to her entering upon other activities. Owing to the multiplicity of duties, she found it impossible to continue her social items and for a time found it necessary to withdraw. She has again been secured to resume the work and will cover the Minneapolis society news. swamped and hundreds sought their own stopping places as best they could. On account of this, many delegates were never registered at headquarters and much difficulty was experience in locating them. Already the different candidates' headquarters were thronged and were busy either setting forth the particular merits of their man or claiming a victory. The Minnesota delegation had procured what eventually proved to be the most attractive and commodious headquarters of any delegation here, and all the week it was thronged, by not only Minnesota, but hundreds of visitors who partook of their hospitality and paid them many compliments. On Tuesday morning at 10 A. M. Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson called the grand lodge to order and the twenty-fourth annual session was on. Committees were read, a partial report of the credentials committee was heard, appointments of assistant grand lodge officers were made, delegates' badges were distributed (as far as they went) and the grand lodge took a recess to prepare for the grand street parade. Parade Takes Place. There are many who question the advisability of these annual street pageants, but no one can deny the beauty and spectacular effects of these hosts of beautifully costumed men and women nor the stirring feelings created by the martial music provided by the splendid bands. The Elks' parades are always big and beautiful, and Chicago's was no exception to the rule. It may not have been as big as some of its predecessors, but none have ever excelled it for the beauty of the uniforms worn by both the men and women. Owing to lack of proper arrangements, the parade, which was to start at 1 o'clock, did not get under way until nearly 2:30. Then, with a platoon of Negro police at the head, they were "on their way." They were attired in unique cowboy uniforms with about 400 men in line and made a fine appearance. Then came Ft. Dearborn No. 44 of Chicago with their band. They had drill corps dressed in black tuxedos, white trousers and straw hats with purple bands. The marching club was attired in Prince Albert suits, plug hats and canes and the entire lodge made a most pleasing appearance. No. 233 of Kansas City, Mo., was led by the Pullman Porters' band. Their uniforms were blue coats, white flannel trousers and straw hats. They had a huge mounted Elk on wheels at their head and was one of the most attractive lodges in line. Then came Alpha No. 1 of Cincinnati, followed by Jones Valley No. 19 of Birmingham, Ala., both of whom made a fine appearance. Morning Star No. 40 of Washington with their band was one of the most striking looking lodges in line. They were followed by their sister lodge, Columbia No. 85, of Washington. Then came Auyahoga No. 95 of Cleveland with their band and about 200 numbers this city was making a bid for the convention in 1924 and carried a huge banner pro- (Continued on page 4) "TOO GOOD TO BE NEGRO," SAYS LONDON OF SHOW London, England, Sept. 7.—So great a success has Florence Mills created here in the musical comedy, "Dover Street to Dixie," that her reviewer in the African World decides she is not colored. "To call them Negro would not in this case be correct, though perhaps a few members of Vodery's clever Plantation orchestra show the pure characteristics of the race. Certainly Florence Mills and Edith Wilson and the "Dixie Vamps" in particular could easily pass in any Southern European country without being recognized as belonging to the aborigines race of Africa, which is so rapidly and rightly emancipating itself to the higher levels of Caucasian culture. Miss Lets Hudson left Saturday evening for an extended trip to Seattle, Portland and Vancouver, B. C. A. H. S. W. WILLIAMS Worshipful Master Prince Hall Lodge DENVER GREETS F. A.A.Y.M.WHEN DELEGATES COME Local Delegation Attend Annual Convention Convening in Denver, Colo. Mr. S. W. Williams, 318 No. Grotto street, returned Saturday evening from Denver, Colo., where he attended the grand lodge of the Free Ancient Accepted York Masons, who convened August 27-31. Perhaps at no time in the history of grand lodge sessions did a more-progressive and enthusiastic group of delegates assemble than at Denver. Everything from balmy breezes to the city at large was available to the visitors who partook of all hospitality of the Rocky Mountain Metropolis. The only obstacle encountered was in the form of an injunction on the part of the State Mason to prevent the session. The attempt proved invalid and the convention opened its session. Denver Welcomes Them. The city of Denver appropriated a generous fund to decorate the streets and to entertain the visitors. Nothing was spared by the municipal body. Following the session a parade was made through the loop section of the city and hence to the state capitol, where pictures of the delegation were made from the steps of the capitol proper. From a point of finance as well as attendance, the convention proved a grand success. Many new members were announced by the lodges represented. The coming year promises a greater membership than the past one. Among the various topics discussed was the creation of a Minnesota grand lodge. This is now assured, as the necessary quota of auxiliary lodges is available. The Minnesota grand lodge will take over Iowa and possibly Nebraska when organized. Local Delegation Sent. Mr. Williams, who is worshipful master of Prince Hall Lodge 105, A. A. Y. M., St. Paul, also potentate of Cairo Temple Shriners, represented the local lodge at the convention. Mrs. Taylor was the delegate from Sheba court. The women proved themselves as competitors of the men in conducting their sessions. The 1924 annual national grand lodge was voted to convene in Kansas City, Kan. The Kansas City lodge will also entertain the annual grand lodge next year. Messrs. Emmet, Twin Brothers, McClain, composed the Dixie Four which was one of the topnotchers on the bill at the Palace Orpheum this week. The dance given at Union hall by the ways and means committee of St. Paul Chapter No. 29, O. E. S., on Monday evening, was well attended by Twin Cities folk. Steven's orchestra at its best played the latest hits and the committee exerted every effect and saw that everyone enjoyed themselves. FERGUS FALLS CHURCH FEATURE GALA EVENT Saturday night will be a literary and social event at Central Baptist church in Fergus Falls when a fried chicken dinner and literary entertainment will be held. The proceeds of the entertainment will be used for incidental expenses of the church. Major Bennett will give an address, followed by Hon. N. T. Moen. Edw. L. Fuller, pastor, will give the response and act as master of ceremonies. The occasion will be held under the auspices of the Willing Workers' club, of which Mrs. Marie Taylor is president and Mrs. Robert Tate secretary. Under the capable leadership of Rev. Fuller, Central Baptist church is making rapid strides in progress. The Bulletin heartily commends the citizens of Fergus Falls for their zeal in doing great things for their community. Clef Club Will Feature Great Moore's Band South Side Auditorium Again to Broadcast Strains of Moore's Eight-piece Band. The many Twin Cities patrons of the South Side Auditorium will be pleased to know that the Auditorium has not been made non-available to the race. Mr. J. W. Moore (Bill), popular musician, has secured the hall for a series of dances and entertainments for the coming season, the first one to be Monday evening, September 17. Runners were circulated during the early summer that no further entertainments would be held at the auditorium by the race. Mr. Moore got in immediate touch with the management and convinced them that the major portion of the Twin Cities people were not of the rowdy element. Re-assured of the proper conduct, the manager again promised the hall under proper conduct. Many New Features. The Minneapolis Cief club is the social organization that will give a series of twice a month novelties during the coming season. Good, clean and wholesome entertainment will be the only kind offered. About the middle of October Mrs. Edith Moore will offer her second annual Style Show. It will be remembered that Mrs. Moore gave one of the best style shows ever held in the Mill City last year. Practically all the garments used were from Askin & Marine clothiers. When speaking of the coming venture to a representative of the Bulletin, Mr. Moore said: "We expect the hearty co-operation of the Twin Cities in making these twice a month affairs a success. We only ask that all attending deport themselves as ladies and gentlemen. This we shall positively insist upon." The music to these entertainments will be furnished by Moore's eight-piece band. Cohen Visits Pres. Coolidge (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Sept. 7. —Walter L. Cohen, Negro political leader in Louisiana, saw President Coolidge last Friday. He is comptroller of the port of New Orleans under a recess appointment by the late President Harding. He did not discuss his reappointment with the President and does not know, he says, whether he will be named to succeed himself when Congress meets or not. "I merely called to pay my respects to President Coolidge," he declared after he had left the White House. The following gentlemen, Messrs. Horace Spencer, Ray Walls and Harvey Spencer of Mason City, Iowa, accompanied by their wives, motored to St. Paul and attended the Minnesota State Fair. The Spencer Bros. are well known contractors in Mason City, Iowa. Mr. and Mrs. David Hall have moved to 725 Sherburne avenue. PRICE: FIVE CENTS FIRE RESIGNATION IS GIVEN BY VETS' HOSPITAL HEAD Col. Stanly Quits Post as Chief Under Fire From Every Approachable Angle. LONG FOUGHT BATTLE ENDS WHEN HEAD QUITS New Man Placed in Charge Until Proper Personnel of Doctors Are Secured. Tuskegee, Ala., Sept. 7.—Another battle has been won in the now famous War Veterans' hospital case at Tuskegee. Col. R. H. Stanley, who served as general superintendent of the institution, has handed in his resignation to Director General Hines and asked to be relieved of his duties. This action came as a surprise to outsiders, but those close to officials at Washington declared it came at "the proper time and when expected." The "proper time" version of the affair is being treated confidentially at present, and bears great significance, it is claimed. Was Storm Center. Ever since the hospital was thrown open Stanley has been the storm center. His prejudice began to assert itself shortly after he took charge, and he became so glaring and bold in his conduct that much criticism was hurled at him. Letters poured into Washington objecting to his method of conducting affairs at the hospital. Conclusive proof of his feeling toward professional men of our race came to light when he gave support, it is said, to the Ku Klux attitude during the time a parade was staged on government property in protest to changing the hospital staff. Fired Nurses. He was accused of delivering a letter of threat to an auditor at the hospital who later had to ask government protection to retain his position. In addition to this it was disclosed that the white sheets used by the Klan on parade had been obtained from the hospital supply room. Nurses who discovered this were later fired, it is claimed, through complaints made by Stanley. "I stayed at Tuskegee despite the criticism and attack until the future policy of the government in conducting the hospital was made clear to me. Then I asked to be transferred." Stanley said in commenting on his letter to General Hines. It is thought that by this statement the policy of the government is to give our people what is rightly theirs—the entire hospital. Gets New Head. Stanley is being sent to Fort Bayard, New Mexico, to the second largest hospital under Federal control in the United States. It has over 1,000 white war veterans there for treatment. Major Charles T. Griffith, formerly of the Federal hospital at Alexandria, Iowa, has been temporarily placed in charge of Tuskegee. Major Griffith is a Tennessee by birth. It is the purpose to keep Major Griffith at the head until a complete staff of our professional men is selected and detailed for duty at the institution. Affairs at the hospital are taking proper shape since white residents of Alabama are beginning to realize that the late President Harding's wish is to be put into operation. Many compliments were passed on the beautiful and commodious headquarters of the Minnesota delegation and too much praise cannot be given to Brother Jos. Lpvy for the capable and splendid manner in which he kept it well stocked with refreshments. Every one was welcome, whether from Minnesota or Georgia, regardless of whether they were members of the order or not.

Various sections are witnessing the formulation of new parties together with a recognized shift from the established and heretofore accepted party. Along with this revolution in the political program is the expected efforts of some of our recognized race leaders to "feather their nest" at the expense of the rank and file of voters. Such has been the state of affairs for years, forgetting the real race progress when selfish desires of individual promotion were in sight and not race benefits. The revolution has not only caused the light to be shown on the party in power, but also brings the small man face to face with the fact that he has given his efforts to sustain certain political Baron, within the race, without receiving the promised benefits. Self-styled leaders, both local and national, must be forgotten and support given to those men who possess one hundred per cent race pride and will, at all times, give their best efforts toward the permanent advancement of the race. The come-by-mefirst group or those who consider themselves best fitted to act in the major cases are first in order to be dealt with. It is this type of leadership that has proven costly in the struggle for advancement. No matter how brilliant the suggestion offered by the small man heretofore, to be successful, must receive the support of the "higher ups." The unfortunateness of this situation will be eradicated by shifting the small fellows' support to an appreciative channel. The balance of power is in the hands of the rank and file. But when capitalized by the self-appointed leaders it become so manipulated as to serve an individual and not a race purpose. Its being thusly capitalized is largely due to the fact that polished words are used in the form of promises only to loose their lustre under the shade of the "plum" tree when once the coveted position is secured. The real race man is not always the man so represented; when given an opportunity the ordinary man proves himself to be of large caliber than those in the foreofest position. The powers that be are soon not to be. The selfish individualistic leaders of the race will be supplanted by men of clearer vision, race pride and ever desirous of giving the best of their knowledge, experience and influence for the race and not for themselves individually.

A such reference might be expected from the outside press, but when it comes from within, we seriously question the thoughtfulness, race pride and progressive worth of the offending medium.

The St. Paul Negro Business league should carry a representative body composed of every race business enterprise in the city. It is regrettable that such is not an existing fact instead of a suggestion. The value of knowing how many of our people are in business and being able to accurately tell what is our financial worth is something the importance of which has not been recognized by a great many. The inability to answer the question concerning ourselves must have caused a great deal of embarrassment.

(By the Associated Negro Press) (By the Associated Negro Press) Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 7.—That the United States government is able to protect all of its employees and has the disposition to do so is the burden of a letter received by Mrs. Otto J. Leeds, white, or this city, from Postmaster General Harry S. New. Mrs. Leeds objected to having a colored man deliver her mail and when the local postmaster refused to remove the carrier from his route, she wrote General New, threatening bodily injury to the carrier if a white man was not placed on the district. General New's letter has won general satisfaction from both white and colored people, not only in this state, from which he hails, but from all over the country.* The letter follows: "My dear Madam: Your letter of July 23, complaining that a colored man is serving as mail carrier on the route on which you happen to live in Indianapolis, has been brought to my attention. I note your complaints and your implied threats directed against this man. I am further informed, as I have been on previous occasions, that you have repeatedly complained of the fact that your route was thus served, employing most intemperate language and threatening all sorts of consequences to the carrier if the matter was not arranged to your personal satisfaction. "I have to say that there are a number of colored carriers in the service of the Indianapolis postoffice, as there are in postoffices all over the country. These men have attained their positions in accordance with the requirements of law and the postoffice regulations. They are entitled to the respect to which faithful employees of the United States government are entitled at all times and at all places, without regard to race, color or political consideration. The Postoffice Department could not, if it would, and would not, if it could, be so unjust to this man as to cause his removal as the consequence of such a violent outburst as is contained in the letter over your signature, which is now before me, and the department would remind you that all the power this government has at its command will be employed to protect its employees against violence or wrong resulting from anybody's prejudices, from whatever cause arising, so long as those employees faithfully discharge the duties which have been entrusted to them, which I am assured by the postmaster at Indianapolis the carrier in question does. Very respectfully yours, Harry S. New, Postmaster General." Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Roper, 977 Fuller avenue, arrived home last week from their motor trip, including Indianapolis, Ind., and Chicago. CONVENTION S ON THE EL The Bulletin representative is under many obligations for professional courtesies extended by the staffs of all the publications of the race in Chicago. There were 257 lodges, an increase of 78 over last year, and 622 delegates the largest. Two new lodges were made in Canada and one lodge and one Temple in Monrovia Liberia. The Temple was set up by the new Grand Daughter Ruler Nora Taylor. New states invaded were Louisiana and Tennessee, and plans are under way for the invasion of Texas and Mississippi. Among some of the Twin Cities residents who were noted around headquarters were the following: Mr. M. W.

LOUIS (By the Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 7.—This city is the host of the most successful national convention of medical men ever held in this country and the members of the professions are making them more helpful each year because they are alive to the situation confronting the race with only two schools purely Negro offering these courses to the race. Dr. W. P. Curtis is chairman of the entertainment committee and has made a big success of it. PORTERS TOTING SATCHELS OF WHISKY ARE ARRESTED Two porters were arrested as they left a Great Northern train yesterday on charges of transporting liquor. Each of the alleged offenders was said to have had a suitcase in which were 10 quarts of Canadian whisky. The men are George Berry and Robert W. Holland, both living at 570 St. Anthony. According to Prohibition Officer J. P. Brandt, the men confessed they purchased their "stock" at Seattle. Berry and Holland are in the county jail and will be arraigned today before United States Commissioner Sam Whaley. MAN HELD IN SHOOTING; VICTIM SERIOUSLY HURT Lester King, a Negro, 1107 Fifth street south, was shot and seriously wounded at Sixth street and Lyndale avenue north, Sunday afternoon. He was waling along the street, according to witnesses, when another Negro ran up and opened fire on him. One bullet pierced his right lung. He is in a serious condition at the General hospital. North Side police were Sunday night holding Joe L. Green, a Negro, 509 Lyndale avenue north, in connection with the case. According to the police, Green confessed doing the shooting, but said he shot in self-defense. 'PUSSYFOOT NOW IN ATTEMPT TO DRY AFRICA Cape Town, Sept. 7.—William E. "Pussyfoot" Johnson concluded his tour of the wine-farming district with great meetings at Cape Town. He addressed a crowded colored audience one night and was received with bands, banners and choirs. He emphasized the boon that prohibition had been to the colored race of America, encouraging as it had, thrift and regular working habits. A colored speaker named Baron was enthusiastically applauded when he said that if the colored people had their way, they would have prohibition in South Africa tomorrow. One day they would push the Europeans into prohibition. At the final meeting in Cape Town, the chairman stated that South Africa was ready for prohibition. The immediate object, however, was to put the plan of local option into operation. With a little more pressure on members of Parliament, he expected this would be done. Mr. Johnson said that he had never had a more orderly meeting in his life, and he now knew what a South African welcome meant. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank the neighbors and friends for their kindness and sympathy during the illness and death of our son and brother, Arthur Botts, and for the many beautiful floral offerings. We also thank Rev. H. L. P. Jones of St. James' A. M. E. Church; Chief Niles of the Fire Department; Capt. W. R. Godette and members of Engine Company No. 9, and the Firemen's Relief Association No. 21, for the many courtesies shown. Mrs. Hattie Ball, Mrs. George W. Brooks, George W. Brooks. and sister, Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. George Mundell, Mrs. Carrie Lindsay of St. Paul. Brother Chas. Miller had the bad luck to have his pocket picked soon after his arrival, but Charlie never missed a session nor lost an ounce of pep. Bismarck Archer received his grand lodge degree as early as possible, and from then on was a constant and interested attendant at all the sessions. "Bis" learned much of grand lodge procedure that will be useful in the future. The entire Minnesota delegation deserves great credit for their faithful attendance at the sessions. No social features or pleasure parties kept them from their duties. I don't believe either lodge could have sent a more hard working, faithful set of men to represent them, and I know they will have splendid reports to make. To Become a Stockholder in the Strongest Colored Financial Institution in the World Here Is the Record of the The National Benefit Life Insurance Co. Race Men Meet In Chicago; Plan New Voters Club Non-Partition Plan Adopted When Present Powers Fail to Live Up to Promises. (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Sept. 7. In a conference held in Chicago, participated in by colored Democrats and Independents, a temporary organization was formed, and the name of "Non-Partisan National Association of Colored Voters" was adopted. Several sessions were held, with representatives from at least twelve states. Major A. E. Patterson of Chicago was made temporary president; Ferdinand Q. Morton of New York, chairman of the executive committee; Everett T. Chappelle, secretary; Lester Walton and Edgar Brown, assistants; Harry H. Pace of New York, treasurer. Dr. Isaac W. Young and Dr. Arthur Wallace, president and secretary of Langston university, Oklahoma, prominent aides of Governor Jack Walton of that state, and Dr. Howard Smith and Dr. Wm. J. Thompson of Kansas City were present and took active part in the deliberations. The association adopted a declaration of principles, in which was stated: "The national government, alike, under Republican and Democratic administrations, has failed, neglected and refused to use its power and authority to preserve and maintain the constitutional rights of the colored American; and whereas it has been the policy of the government, in violation of the Constitution, to treat colored citizens as political and civic inferiors of other citizens. There are more than a million colored voters in the so-called pivotal states who possess political power sufficient, if intelligently employed for the benefit of the race, to secure the election of office of men who will not violate their oaths of office where the rights of colored citizens are concerned, but who will in the performance of their official duties, act honorably and humanly and endeavor to administer the government so as to protect all rights of all the people.

As the last words of the minister were spoken the solemnly bowed heads came up with a sudden alertness and a slight rustle passed over the congregation as men stooped for their hats and women greeted their neighbors in quiet undertones. Slowly they made their way toward the doors and out into the almost blinding sunshine that poured over everything with all the abandon of a bright spring morning in the country. "Sunday!" John Walters unconsciously whispered the word under his breath as he hesitated a moment on the top step of the church. It was strange, he reflected, that there should be a subtle difference between Sunday and the other days. Something intangible, but nevertheless there. He could see it; the roads, the trees, the very sunshine itself was not quite the same, and so strongly did he feel this difference that he believed that if in some manner he could lose all track of the days of the week he would know when Sunday came. He walked slowly down the street, breathing in the fresh clean air. What a contrast to the ten years he had spent in the city trying to make a name for himself—working, working day and night with just one idea in mind. After all, it was worth while? He had missed so much, he had had no time for friends or recreation. Now as he glanced about at the passing couples a feeling of loneliness swept over him. Nearly everyone had some one to talk to, but no one knew him. He was the stranger in the land. He had motored out to Newton several times before and attended church because somehow it took him back to his boyhood days and he felt that there was more sincere religion in a little country congregation than in a dozen fashionable city churches. Perhaps he was right, perhaps not, but a strange peace and comfort seemed to come over him when listening to the simple sermon of some earnest young minister. As he walked back toward the boarding house where he expected to have dinner he dimly noticed the slender figure of a girl in front of him and there was something vaguely familiar about her that teased him every time he glanced in her direction. Who could she be? He knew her, yet he didn't know her. Anyhow, there, was one bond between them, they were both alone. Who could she be? He quickened his pace. "Margaret Cole, as sure as I live!" he exclaimed as he came abreast of her. "John Walters, as sure as I live!" laughed the girl, extending her hand. "How you have changed," he said admiringly as he took in the dancing eyes and flushed cheeks. "You're— you're positively—" "A girl's apt to change a little between the ages of twelve and eighteen," she smiled, breaking in on him. "But what are you doing here?" he asked. "Oh, we moved out here two years ago. Father's teaching at the girl's seminary." Soon they were laughing and talking of old times—of the days when they were next door neighbors in the West. "I fell quite in love with you that last time I went back home," he laughed. "I watched you playing with your dolls one day and you were the happiest, motherliest little kid." "You're a fatterer," she told him. "Not a bit of it. May I walk home with you?" Oh, you're coming to our house to dinner, of course. I didn't even think that it was necessary to mention it." "Thanks so much. I hoped you would ask me. I shall enjoy seeing your parents again." Never was youth more fascinating, he thought, as he glanced at his companion—the lithe figure, the quick step, the parted lips, the radiant face that seemed to be expecting some thrilling thing to happen every second. It was a gay dinner they had that Sunday. Everybody laughed and joked a great deal, and John Walters felt really happy for the first time in years. "You'll came back next week, won't you?" Professor Cole asked warmly as he took his guest's hand. "And the next and the next and the next, if you'll let me," laughed Walters. "You'll always find a warm welcome," the professor assured him. Before the summer was over it had become a regular habit for Walters to motor down to Newton on Sunday, take Margaret to church and have dinner at her home afterward, and by the time the trees were turning he knew that he had at last found the girl, but Margaret showed no signs of a similar feeling. When he said anything to indicate his feeling she laughed at him and called him a perfectly dreadful slirt. What was the use of proposing to a girl in that mood anyway? Yet he must know where he stood. He could bear the suspense no longer. "I have something to show you after dinner," he told her one day. "Oh, good!" she answered in an undertone. "I love to see things. How can I ever wait?" they were again seated on the porch, she brought up the subject again. "What was it you were going to show me?" she asked eagerly. "Oh, yes." He slipped a hand into his pocket and brought forth two birthday cards addressed in a childish scrawl to himself. "I've kept them all these years," he said, handing them to her, "because—because I loved you even then. Now do you still think I'm flirting?" "Oh, John," she said softly. "What a dear you are! I'm afraid I've been too flippant. Really, I didn't know you cared that much. I was afraid it was only at best some passing fancy. But—but I'm awfully glad. No, walt a minute. Sit down. For a penny I show you something because I've been so horrid to you, but I guess it'll spoil you forever. I'll do it anyway. You stay right here and I'll be back in a minute." She flitted through the doorway and returned a moment later with one hand behind her back. "Shut your eyes tight," she said. "now look." And there in front of him were three birthday cards addressed to her in a handwriting that he had little difficulty in recognizing. "I-I kept these because—" she stammered, but got no further for John had taken her into his arms. "You little fraud," he laughed happily. "You're the flirt and all the time I thought you didn't care. What a dance you've led me!" MASTERPIECE OF GREEK ART Bronze Mirror Made Centuries Before Christ Added to Collection in British Museum. A Greecan bronze mirror, 2,400 years old, has been added to the British museum's collection of Greek antiquities. Its age has been deduced from a comparison with other early Greek bronzes found in the Acropolis excavations. According to a bulletin of the Copper and Brass association, the mirror dates from earlier than 470 B. C. It measures seven inches in diameter across the disk, which is plain, except for an egg-and-tongue molding and beading around the delicately-worked edge. Marvelously well preserved, it bears witness to the greatness of the ancient Greek metal workers, as indeed to the enduring qualities of the material in which they wrought. The disk rests on a base forming an arc of a circle, with a voluted palmette in the center supporting it. Below are the figures of a winged youth and winged malen, springing apart, one on either side, as though for flight from a central lotus flower. Under the flower is a spike which was probably fixed originally in some kind of a pedestal, as the whole work seems too large and heavy to have been used as a hand-mirror. The figures themselves are molded in the round, but the rest of the group is in flat relief. The girl, whose figure is draped, is shown holding a fold of her skirt, while the boy, who is nude, carries a wreath. It is believed that they represent Agon (Contest) and Nike (Victory). The earlier bronzes found in the Acropolis excavations allowed less freedom to the forms. The new statues, in fact, a later modification of the "kneeling run" pose, as the feet of the figures are brought closer together than had been the former custom of the bronze metal workers. Age of Glants. In these pages I praised the publishers of Augustus Thomas' autobiography for making it a light book, easy to hold. Just after reading my compliment Prof. F. W. C. Meyer of Rochester received a German folio Bible printed in 1672, weighing twenty-five pounds, and the title page bore this comforting legend, which I translate: "Now, however, through the grace of God, we have for the first time printed this book in comfortable and readable shape." The old Bible readers were a hardy race.-Scribner's Magazine. Odd Names. Odd names appear occasionally in American newspapers, as for instance one in an obituary notice in recent New York dailies, in which the name Gardner is printed thus, with an apostrophe; but this is outclassed by the following, brought to light by an accidental turning of the leaves of the English "Who's Who": Sir Rustomjee Cowajee Corsetje Jameset Jeeeboy of Mazagon castle, Bombay; and Gen. Roger Pine-Coffin of Berhamsted, Herts—Outlook. Two Purposes Served. The operation was a great success and the lady spoke of it with enthusiasm around the circle of her feminine friends, which included the doctor's wife. But when a bill was sent in for $200 she protested that it was too much. The medical man was kind but firm. "The bill, madam," said he, "is very reasonable. That operation has provided you with health for a long time to come and with conversation for the rest of your life." Handling Eggplants With Gloves. So sensitive is an eggplant that the mere warmth of bare fingers pressing upon the surface ever so lightly, bruising the tender tissues underneath the skin the tiniest bit, will cause it to decay. This slight mashing of the tissues takes place in any event, but if they do not come directly in contact with warm hands it does not have any harmful effect on the eggplants. For this reason professional packers of the vegetable wear canvas gloves.

Edwards (For A. N. P.) 34. Were colored troops with General Jackson at New Orleans in 1812? On the eve of the battle, General Jackson reviewed the white and colored troops and had read to them his famous address. To the colored troops, he said: "To the men of color: Soldiers! From the shores of Mobile I collected you to arms—I invited you to share in the perils and to divide the glory of your white countrymen. I expected much from you; for I was not uninformed of those qualities which must render you so formidable to an invading foe. I knew that you could endure hunger and thirst, and all the hardships of war. I knew that you loved the land of your nativity, and that, like ourselves, you had to defend all that is most dear to man. But you surpassed my hopes. I have found in you, united to these qualities, that noble enthusiasm which impels to great deeds." 35. What Southern newspaper won a Pulitzer gold medal for 1922?

(By the Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 7.—Considerable interest is manifested in the political situation in Philadelphia. Aside from lack of harmony in the organization, forward looking Negroes have taken a decided stand on certain political issues. The day has past for soft talk, and in communities where the population is large, like in Philadelphia, these men and women are facing real issues, and are going on record as making no compromise. There is one thing certain, Negroes are learning to stick together as never before, and are striking out in untried fields. The latest pioneering movement in the political field is the announcement that a very progressive Negro, J. Henry Duckery, successful in business here, has filed his nomination petition and formally entered the mayoralty race. He is backed by the United Civic association, comprising the best element of the city's colored population, so it is said. Mr. Duckery was asked to enter the race by a committee of which John W. Sparks is chairman, Dr. Walter L. Brandon, C. J. Grant, C. A. Judge, William Bush, Harry Phillips, Isaac L. Banks, Jesse C. Evans and Arthur L. Boykin. Mr. Duckery has been a resident of Philadelphia for ten years. He has four sons and one daughter, two of the children being graduates of the University of Pennsylvania. He was born in Delaware 55 years ago. He has been politically active for a number of years, having during his residence of fifteen years in Boston, helped to organize the colored voters, and assisted in electing a Democratic mayor, governor and United States senator. "The invitation to run expressed the wide-spread dissatisfaction with the other candidates in the field, and called attention to the lack of interest shown in the Negroes "after election." As expressed further in the invitation, "We may just as well face the indisputable fact that, in politics as otherwise, we are a segregated group, consistently forced to such positions after election by the willful neglect of those we helped into office. We may not be able to elect you, but hope to be able to present through you our cause for complaint against a system which denies social, civic and political justice to a citizen because of the color of his skin." Somebody Wuz Sayin' that— As the Belle of St. Paul is leaving town Saturday, it will be wise to stick close to your girl, because E. J., the national back biter, will be at leisure. Guess they will be burying W. B. shortly after Saturday, but he might as well die one way as another. It's all heart disease. E. B. boasted of having a sheet iron back, but it looks as though somebody has destroyed it, as his evenings are not so very well taken these days. Even the flies came down from their perch on the wall when Bingo started to harmonize. Drink "Puritan Brand" Milk and Cream Produced and Delivered to Your Door Every Morning BY THE ST. PAUL MILK CO.

Humboldt 4346 Daddy's Evening Fairy Tale MARY GRAHAM BONNER COPYRIGHT BY WESTERN PERUVIAN UNION IN ZOOLAND SOCIETY The Giraffe Family are still the lead- ers in Zooland society. There are none, A fox standing on a rock. Miss Libby Hippopotamus is the debutante daughter of Mother Chloe Pygmy Hippopotamus. This means, the mother states, that her daughter is ready to be a Pygmy Hippo society bud. The daughter was named after Liberia where the mother was born. The old homestead was given up when the fam- "Maudie." stead was given up when the fam- lly moved to the zoo in the city. Four American Bison have arrived at the zoo this year. They are all very choice and fine and Zooand society welcomes them. The Indian Mongoose is giving a series of Friday afternoon talks on "Snakes We Have Killed," and other interesting topics. The Indian Mongoose is famous in India for the number of deadly King Cobra snakes which it kills so bravely, even though the Mongoose is a little creature. The Mongoose sees and acts quickly and knows just how to catch a snake behind the head. The Cobra, strange as it may seem, has a weak heart, and after the Mongoose has caught the snake behind the head he whirls him about so fast that the Cobra becomes dizzy and his heart gives way. These and other interesting facts the Mongoose will tell in his Friday afternoon talks. No admission charged. The Cobra would kill many thousands of people in India were it not for the brave members of the Mongoose family. As it is the Cobra does a great deal of wicked work. Two pairs of Rocky Mountain Sheep and one pair of Mountain Goats have arrived in the zoo. Another young Giraffe leader is expected to arrive with his mate almost any day now. They, of course, will add greatly to zoo society. Besides, they give the visitors so much to talk about. They are almost as popular as a topic of conversation as the weather is, they say. The zoo is hoping to get a West African Pygmy Elephant before long. The other animals say that this will be an addition to zoo society. Some Royal Elephants are expected to arrive, too. They will surely give an aristocratic touch to the society of the zoo. The Rifle Bird is trying out his voice, which, it is said, sounds something like shots being fired. He says he has never been robbed for he is his own policeman and burglarls would always be afraid of him. Maudie, the Australian Kangaroo, is celebrating the approach of spring by coming out of her den, also bringing with her a fine young daughter which she carries in her pouch. She also carries a handsome son in her pouch, too, for Kangaroo mothers think baby carriages are not nearly so smart as pouches for carrying children about in. A porcupine arrived at the zoo last week and it is said to be a handsome and a worthy creature for Zooland society. A South American beaver, whose name among those who know him well is Coypu, has also taken up his residence in the zoo. A white-faced monkey has arrived and is a charming young monkey, it is said. Khartoum, the African Elephant, has been getting fixed up for spring so TX The Lions and the Tigers are greeting spring in their usual restless fashion by pacing up and down their yards. Silver King, the Polar Bear, spends all his time in his bath. Spring is here and warm weather is on its way, he announces. The Frogs have begun to croak and the Frog Glee club meets every evening for practice in preparation for the great spring concert. The other creatures say that the frogs need plenty of practice. The Squirrels and Sparrows about the Park are still boasting of the Christmas party they had when the children came and hung bags of nuts and suet on the trees and wished them a Merry Christmas. These are some of the latest items of news in Zooland society. True. Sunday School Teacher—Now, Tommy, do you know what we should do before our sins can be forgiven? Tommy (anxiously)—Well ——I guess we must sin. A Crushed Peach Ice Cream and Chocolate Sundae. (Prepared by the United States Department | of a pound of sugar) is e of Agriculture.) Far from the soda fountain—out in the country, at shore or mountain resort—the children may enjoy chocolate sundaes and fruit ice creams of many kinds if ice is procurable and if they are willing to furnish the labor when it comes to turning the freezer. The small boy who is not willing to help out in exchange for the privilege of licking the dasher would be hard to find. Plain Vanilla Ice Cream. 1 qt. market cream (usually 16 to 18 per cent fat). ¼ pint whole or evaporated milk. ¾ pint sugar (½ pound). ½ pint milk. This recipe is recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture. It can be served with a hot or cold chocolate syrup as chocolate sundae; it is good with maple syrup poured over it and a few chopped walnut meats; with crushed fruit in syrup it may be some other kind of sundae—either strawberry, peach, raspberry, pineapple (the pineapple should be cooked or canned), apricot, or any other preferred fruit according to the season. The recipe can also be varied by introducing different flavors into the mixture before freezing it. A cupful of sweetened fruit pulp is the right amount for the quantity of cream and other ingredients in the recipe. Half a pint of sweetened peach pulp (made from three peaches and one-fourth HOW VARIOUS FOODS MEET NEED OF BODY (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) A new and graphic method of showing the composition of 50 common foods has been followed in Department Bulletin No. 975, Food Values: How Foods Meet Body Needs, by Emma A. Winslow, which has just been issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. The bulletin is of interest both to dietitians and to housekeepers. A chart for each food shows, by lines of different lengths, what percentage of the total necessary fuel and protein and also of three of the important minerals—lime, iron, and phosphorus—is contained in a pound of that food, thus making it possible to compare foods with respect to any of their nutrients. The charts do not show whether or not the foods graphically illustrated are sources of vitamins, but certain paragraphs discuss this important phase of nutrition in detail. The comparison made by the charts is helpful in combining food materials so as to make a complete ration, for it shows not only what a given food supplies but also what it lacks. A glance at the milk diagram, for example, shows that a pound (pint) of milk supplies over eight-tenths of the calcium (lime) a man needs per day, and less than one-tenth of the iron. The other foods of the diet should therefore include some in which iron predominates, and turning over the pages of the bulletin it is possible to find many such very easily. Vegetables and fruits, it is seen from the charts, are useful in supplying mineral substances and bulk in the diet without unduly increasing the protein and fuel. Milk, eggs, cheese, fish, meats, and almost all the foods depended upon to supply efficient protein, are, with a few exceptions, of animal origin. Peanuts and soy beans, however, differ from other legumes such as dried beans, peas, and lentils, in containing efficient or adequate protein. Milk is one of the best foods for young and old and cannot be satisfactorily replaced in the diet of growing children. Some of the protein foods are rich in mineral substances. Meat and egg yolks supply iron, milk furnishes calcium and peanuts phosphorus. Many of these protein foods, especially milk and egg yolks, are valuable sources of vitamins A and B. Cereal foods provide protein and energy in about the proportion needed by the body. Their protein is, however, of such kind that it needs to supplemented by milk, eggs, cheese, and flesh foods. When made from the whole grain, cereal foods also supply some mineral substances and vitamins, but a diet containing large proportions of refined cereal foods must be supplemented by plenty of dairy products, vegetables, and fruits. The various kinds of cereals differ little in fuel SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN of a pound of sugar) is enough for about two quarts of the crushed-peach ice cream illustrated. A few tablespoonfuls of caramel flavor in vanilla ice cream give a pleasant variation. After combining all the ingredients for any ice cream, the mixture should be put in the refrigerator for several hours to improve the texture and make it easier to freeze. When packing the freezer six pounds of finely crushed ice should be used for each pound of salt. If the freezer is turned slowly and steadily for eight minutes at the beginning it will only need to be turned fast for about two minutes. To mold ice cream after it is sufficiently frozen, any clean can of suitable shape, with a tight-fitting lid, may be used. Baking-powder tins, lard pails, or coffee tins, if they permit turning the ice cream in good shape, may be used. The mold should be well filled to prevent water from coming into it. When it is time to unmold the cream, the mold should be slightly warmed in hot water and a hole made through the center of the cream with a pencil or rod to admit air. Chocolate Ice Cream. To plain vanilla ice cream add one-half cupful of chocolate syrup made by cooking three tablespoonfuls of powdered chocolate or cocoa and four tablespoonfuls of sugar in one-half a cupful of water. Mix, let stand in refrigerator several hours, and freeze. value. Rice, wheat flour, and corn meal, for example, all yield about 1,600 calories to the pound. Sugar and energy foods are valuable for fuel. A few sweet foods such as maple syrup, jelly, and preserved fruits also contain small amounts of protein and mineral substances. Sweets in proper amounts are an important part of the diet, when served at the right time. Fats and fat foods as a class have a higher fuel value than those of any other group. They add flavor and richness to the diet, but should not be used to excess. Milk fat is a particularly rich source of vitamin A. Butter and cream are, therefore, far more important than most other fats in the diet of growing children. Chocolate and nuts, which are fat foods, also contain generous proportions of protein and minerals. In estimating the value of a "made" dish containing materials from several different groups it has been convenient to chart these in the form in which they are eaten. The bulletin, "How Foods Meet Body Needs" is available free on application to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. WAYS FOR COOKING CHICKEN Steam Pressure Method Saves Time, Fuel, Labor, Heat and Much of Food Value. Chicken cooked under steam pressure is delicious, states the United States Department of Agriculture. This method saves time, fuel, labor, heat and food value. Smothered chicken can be prepared as for frying, dredged with flour and browned in hot fat in the bottom of the pressure cooker. It is then seasoned with salt and pepper and transferred to the rack of the cooker, with one-half cupful of water below. When the cooker is closed it is brought up to 15 pounds pressure and maintained there 40 to 60 minutes, depending on the age of the fowl. The stock should be thickened and served with the chicken. Roast chicken with dressing and chicken fricassee can also be prepared in the pressure cooker. A lower pressure and longer cooking is preferred when the fowl is left whole.

Opposite Public Library THE NEW HOTEL HOWELL THE HOME OF THE FAMILY ```markdown ``` A real condition confronts us; we are a part and a very important part of the big Railroad Family. This has not always been the case. But the more we quit ourselves like men, the more will this statement prove true. Looking back into the past, we see great strides in all lines of man's activities. Modern comfort in travel can scarcely be compared to what the traveling public enjoyed 15 years ago, and at that time only a few, comparatively speaking, of our group knew the great Trunk Lines that comb the nation. Today there are fifty thousand of our men moving daily from one end of the nation to the other. Just think of the power these men have in their hands. You will remember it is said that knowledge is power, therefore we should study to know how to use this power we have already in our hands. In reality we have a transportation system that no other fifty thousand men in the nation possess, and we ought to make a study of the automobile as a means to complete our transportation system. Just think what that will mean to us in the long run when our people wake up from their long Rip Van Winkle slumber and start to thinking and acting along productive lines. We cannot say too much in praise of our fathers and mothers for the work they have done in building and equipping our churches, lodges and schools and their byproducts. But these institutions, while good and while we should be proud of them, are not producing anything that we can sell, so we style them non-productive institutions; so we Men of the Rails must cry out for a new day in our economic life. We must not content ourselves with what has been done, for say what you will, we are still following the shadow instead of the substance. The climax in all of our national gatherings is the grand parade; that over then we take a long breath and go back home to get ready for the still bigger and more grand parade that is to come off next year. The truth of the whole matter is we are out in the deep sea and what we want is on land and we do not manufacture or produce even the clothes we wear or the food we eat. This is a chotic condition, but a real condition that confronts us. The duty of the hour is evident to thinking men and women everywhere. A new demand should be made on all who call themselves leaders, so that we may more fully prepare ourselves to cope with this vital issue. We should ask ourselves one question, and one question only, "When are we to face the real issues and begin to talk to our people about factories and stores?" For in the last analysis this is the only issue that should engage us in our local and national gatherings until these conditions are improved upon. Horace S. Scurry. Famous Resort May See Dempsey Fight (By the Associated Negro Press). New York City, Sept. 7.—There is a remote chance that Harry Wills and Jack Dempsey will settle their fistic differences at the Tia Juana race track of Jlm Coffroth before the winter is gone. This race resort is located in Lower California, within an hour's ride of Los Angeles, and is said to be an ideal place in which to pull off a fistic encounter between the renowned Wills and the supposedly unbeatable Dempsey. Coffroth has had several meetings with Tex Rickard and the wise ones are predicting the fight will take place in the Far West after Dempsey disposes of Firpo—if he does.

The effort put forth by the colored citizens of this city for an inter-racial commission has resulted in creating considerable favorable newspaper comment and the selection of nine members to represent the Negro end of it. These commissions when kept free from politics have been really helpful in bringing about better understandings. There is nothing to the so-called race problem when both white and black people reason dispassionately together. The problem crops out simply because there is little or no effort made by either side to understand the other's viewpoint. Contact in such cases will always make for helpful understandings and good will. It is to be regretted more of it is not attempted, because both the Negro and white man soon learn the other is not such a bad fellow after all.—J. M. B., Staff Correspondent.

From 1900 to 1921 the dividend rate was 7 per cent per annum. In 1922 this was reduced to $5\frac{1}{4}$ per cent and in 1923 to 5 per cent. Many people in the territory traversed by the Great Northern are among its largest shareholders, and are therefore directly affected by its ability to pay a return on capital invested. Most of the large life insurance companies have money invested in Great Northern securities. Therefore, nearly everyone who holds a life insurance policy, and many depositors in savings banks, are partners in the operation and development of this railway, and their livelihood is partly or wholly dependent on its ability to pay.

D. Wiley, 875 St. Anthony avenue, is critically ill at the Ancker hospital. Mrs. Florence Duckett, Mrs. Bertha Lewis King and Mrs. Corrinene Woodford, all active in affairs of St. James' A. M. E. church, are attending the annual conference in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Mrs. Oscar Tudos and daughter Gladys arrived home Saturday morning from Chicago. They have been visiting relatives and friends in Bridgeton, N. J., Pittsburg, Pa., and various points in the East. The Everywoman Progressive council will motor to St. Cloud, Minn., early next Thursday morning to be the special luncheon guests of Supt. Charles A. Vasaly of the State Reformatory. Every privilege possible will be accorded the club, and they will visit the institution. Automobiles will be provided for the entire club and their out-of-town guests. Dr. Lightfoot A. West, owner and surgeon-in-chief of Mercer hospital at Memphis, Tenn., en route home from the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, is visiting his relatives, Attorney and Mrs. W. T. Francis, and Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Chapman of St. Anthony avenue. Dr. West, who formerly lived with his aunt, Mrs. Maggie Griswold, is one of the leading surgeons in the country. At the regular monthly dinner given on Thursday evening by the T. S. T. C. club, with Mr. R. B. Chapman as host, Dr. West was the guest of honor. Messrs. Ernest Graves and Harry Hughes, members of Gopher lodge, welcomed the Seattle delegation of Elks en route to the convention in Chicago. Their names were omitted last week. Mrs. W. B. Overton, 1160 Sherburne avenue, entertained last Friday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. L. Hodges, 628 Pershing Road, Chicago. A number of guests enjoyed Mrs. Overton's hospitality. The afternoon was spent in playing cards, followed by a delicious repast. The Bulletin received a postcard from Attorney and Mrs. W. T. Francis, who are making a 1,000-mile tour in their Studebaker sedan. The country over which they are passing is decidedly picturesque and they are enjoying every mile of the trip. CHOOSE WILSON GRAND EXALTED RULER OF ELKS (Continued from page 1) claiming the beauties and advantages of Cleveland as a meeting place. Franklin lodge of Columbus and Cato No. 20 of Philadelphia followed, both beautifully uniformed. Wolverine No. 72 of Detroit had a brown uniform that was so different from the general trend of bright colors that they attracted marked attention. Then came Minnesota, Gopher and Ames, and what they lacked in numbers was made up by enthusiasm. Brother Chas. Miller of Gopher and Brother Clarence McCullough of Ames kept the spectators constantly applauding with their fancy cake walking steps and comical antics, and Minnesota was voted by all as the liveliest bunch in line. Imperial No. 127 of New York City were next, and this was one of the largest and handsomest attired lodges in the parade. Then came "Mighty Monarch" of New York, and they were just what their name implied. Eureka Temple of New York followed and these daughters in white flannel suits trimmed in purple with white capes lined with purple satin were certainly good to and pay that overdue subscription account.

Bulletin Service Is Not Equalled Anywhere in the Northwest proper manner. For 10 hours every possible method and means was tried to evade the law, but the old war horses of Minnesota with the valiant assistance of Brother Cernt of California stood their ground and chair most reluctantly, finally had rule in favor of them. The most important legislation was the extension of the session from 3 to 4 days and the appointment of a committee consisting of the grand exalted ruler, the grand secretary, grand legal advisor and the grand trustees, to negotiate for the purchase of certain described property in Pennsylvania for an Elks' home, the cost not to exceed $70,000. Pittsburg was chosen as the next place of meeting and at 8:05 A. M. Friday, August 31, Past Grand Ex. Ruler Dr. J. Q. Mills, after duly installing the newly elected officers, dropped his gavel, adjourning Sine Die, the 24th annual session of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World until it shall convene on the last Tuesday in August, 1924, in the city of Pittsburg, Pa. The grand ball on Wednesday evening was held at the Eighth Regiment Armory and was a most disappointing affair. The hall was far too small for the vast crowd that sought admission and before 10 o'clock the jam at the entrance was uncontrollable. The Bulletin representative was, of course, not enabled to gain so much inside information on the doings of the temples' session and can only give such as he could secure at second hand information. The most surprising thing, of course, was the defeat of Daughter Mamie Hodges for the office of grand daughter ruler. For fifteen years she has successfully defeated every aspirant for her throne, but as early as Sunday the word was being passed that she was to go, and when election time came the opposition had manned their forces in sufficient numbers to elect Daughter Nora Taylor of Chicago by over 100 majority.

NINTH @ FRANKLIN M. E. BARRY V. R. NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN great work in the order. She is a brilliant speaker and will, no doubt, be remembered by many in the Twin Cities who had the pleasure of listening to her a year ago. She should prove a most desirable grand daughter ruler. Grand Secretary Daughter Emma V. Kelly of Norfolk, Va., just squeezed through and the hand writing is on the wall that she is the next to go. There were 27 new Temples instituted last year and 19 Juveniles. Four hundred thirty-six members took the grand lodge degree. The grand treasurer has a balance of $10,127.56. $898.70 was collected for the establishment of a Juveniles home for dependent children. Heiltrope Temple of Chicago leads in membership with 1,000 members. Warden Temple of Chicago is second with 800 and Eureka of New York third with 675. Our own Daughter McCullough of Minnehaha Temple No. 129 of Minneapolis was the reading clerk of the grand temple sessions, and many words of praise and compliment were handed to her by the delegates for the capable and efficient manner in which she performed her duties, and especially for the wonderful carrying power of her voice. Delegates were unanimous in declaring that never before were they able to hear so distinctly the business that was being carried on. If all the rumors that I heard were true, then it won't be very long (maybe at Pittsburg) before Minnehaha Temple will have a member in the grand temple. March on Minnesota.
