'U'-ALMUNI CLASH THANKSGIVING Twin Cities Will Meet at 2nd Exposition VOLUME II, NO. 42 'U'-AL Twin MINNEAPOLIS TO JOIN ST. PAUL AT EXPOSITION Last Days Before Big Event Being Used to Augment Business Enthusiasm. SECOND ANNUAL SHOW SLOGAN, 'MAKE IT BETTER Honorary Members Join Boosters to Help Committee Put Over Big Program. The final stretch of the Business League Exposition to be held at the St. Paul Auditorium December 10-11 is being made the most interesting of the campaign by the committee on promotion. The past week has witnessed a great attempt on the part of the local business people to lend every effort possible to assist the committee in putting over the project. Monday night, which will open the exposition, will be Minneapolis night. The honorary members and enthusiasts of that city are making great plans to be there in large numbers to manifest their interest in the commercial growth of the Northwest. Tuesday night will be St. Paul's night and the local merchants with the Boosters' club will be much in evidence. Both nights a 14-piece band, led by Wm. Moore, will furnish dance music. The dancing space is over 6,000 square feet, which will accommodate all who care to dance. "Make it Better," Slogan. "Make it a better One" is the slogan adopted by the committee on promotion in their plans to make this the season's greatest event. Many of the prominent business people of both cities have expressed themselves as believing this to be the biggest thing attempted in the city or in the Northwest. The ladies of the popularity contest are everywhere with their cards to secure votes. The race is proving to be very close and promises to become more exciting as the campaign draws to a close. The drive for honorary members met with more success than was expected and every indication points toward the success of the Exposition and Style Show by the St. Paul Negro Business league.

Hall, Sec. WELL KNOWN MILL CITY RAIL ROAD MAN SUCCUMBS Pioneer Railroad Employee Dies of Pneumonia Following Six Weeks' Illness. The death of Mr. Wm. Helm, 3115 Columbus avenue, Minneapolis, last Thursday afternoon at 2:30, removes from the community one of the best known railroad men in the Northwest. The deceased came to Minneapolis from Virginia 33 years ago and since that time has been an employee of the Soo line. He was one of the originators of the Railroad Men's association in the Twin Cities and did much toward its successful growth. Funeral services were held at Bethesda Baptist church, of which Mr. Helm was a member, at 2:30 Saturday, Rev. H. C. Parsons officiating. The funeral arrangements were in charge of Ames Lodge 106, I. B. P. O. E. W. Interment was made at Lakewood cemetery. Mr. Helm was one of the best known citizens in Minneapolis, a great race man and did everything in his power to promote racial advancement. His death is a serious loss to his fellow railroad men and the community at large. His life represented that of a great thinking dynamo, always deliberate, fair and making such decisions that won for him permanent respect from his many friends. The deceased leaves a wife and one son, William, Jr., a junior at Central high school, besides a host of friends who will miss him greatly. The death of Mrs. Mary E. Brown occurred Monday, November 19, at the Ancker hospital. Becoming ill about three weeks ago, Mrs. Brown, an inmate of Crispus Attucks Home, was removed to the hospital for treatment, but gradually became worse. Funeral services were held Friday morning at 9 o'clock, from St. Peter Claver's church. Mrs. T. H. Lyles, undertaker, was in charge. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1923. O. C. HALL CITED BY INDORSEMENT FOR MERIT ONLY Local Man Best Fitted for Position Because of Superior Church Knowledge. WINNING SUPPORT FROM FOREMOST CHURCHMEN Recommended to Stop Misuse of Church Publication by Present Manager. Mr. Orrington C. Hall sponsored for managership of the A. M. E. Publishing company at Nashville, Tenn., was born at Geneva, Ill., March 12, 1873. His grandfather and great-grandfather were members of A. M. E. church at the time of its incorporation; both were ministers, as was his grand father, Rev. A. T. Hall, in whose dining room the first colored church of Chicago was organized in 1847—Quinn Chapel. The father of Mr. Hall was also an ardent church worker and A. M. E. minister. The whole of the Hall family, from a commercial angle, have been barbers as well as church workers. Hall Bros.' Barber Shop of St. Paul was organized in 1906. Education and Activities. Mr. Hall is thoroughly educated, having became proficient at the following public schools: Elgin, Ill.; Drew Business College, Elgin; Dixon School of Administration, Dixon, Ill.; Dixon College, St. Paul Community School of Religious Education at St. Paul, Minn. Dixon College was an undenominational school of military requirements. In 1906 St. James' A. M. E. church encountered difficulty with a pastor. O. C. Hall, an unknown, advanced $100 to pay pastor's salary and secure his resignation. Mr. Hall organized The Helpers, which attracted Mr. O. C. HALL St. PAUL, MINN. Mr. Chas, Weschke, philanthropist, to the needs of the race; recently discovered Judge Willis as president of the local N. A. A. C. P. Two years ago he spread the propaganda leading to the organization of the Urban league. Besides these records, Mr. Hall drafted the constitution for the Crispus Attucks Home. Some Records Made. Mr. Hall was in the Spanish-American War and received a diamond ring from the citizens of Dixon, Ill., for saving the life of a major from that city. He was a Y. M. C. A. secretary during the World War and while in France he received a personal, verbal citation from General Pershing for work well done. This citation was the result of Mr. Hall having taken one of the worst camps in France and by raising the religious tone made a Negro guard house useless. For 14 years Mr. Hall has been deputy county auditor under Geo. J. Ries. Previous to that no race paper received legal advertising, and no race men were given positions there other than janitors. He is secretary of trustees at St. James' A. M. E. church, district superintendent of Sunday schools in N. W. conference, member of directors of St. Paul Community Training School of Religious Education and has been selected as delegate to the general conference at Louisville in 1924.

No matter what the test has been or how unfortunate may have seemed the result, yet there is no doubt but that it could have been worse. The gladness to be alive and with health is something to be greatful for, and if for nothing more than that, let us all give thanks to the creator for having lived in a land of plenty, with health and happiness, for another year. ```markdown ``` □ □ □ Visitors Shown Hospitality in Mill City Homes Several Social Entertainments Are Held in Honor of Chicago Visitors. Mrs. F. B. Jones of Chicago, with a party of friends, motored from Chicago to Minneapolis for a week's visit with the family of her brother, Mr. Wm. Smith, 2441 Fifth avenue south. Included in the party were Mr. and Mrs. J. Lego Carter and Mr. Wm. King, who, during their stay in Minneapolis, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. M. Foree, 3928 Minnehaa avenue. The visitors were generously entertained. Tuesday afternoon from 2 to 6 a reception was given in honor of her sister and friends by Mrs. W. M. Smith at her home, attractively decorated for the occasion. In the receiving line were: Mrs. Frank B. Jones, Chicago; Mrs. Owen Isaac, Louisville, Ky.; Mrs. Ida Sellwe, Mrs. W. C.

POSTAL EMPLOYE IS IN SERVICE GENERATION Monday marked the end of forty years of faithful service in the postoffice by Mr. Ralph Allen, who for a generation has carried mail to various Summit avenue families and also those in the St. Anthony Hill district. He first began service in the old postoffice at Fifth and Wabasha streets. His fellow employees presented him with an anniversary cake on which there were forty candles. □ □ □ TURKEY □□□ □□□ Wilson's Bake Shop is Opened Wilson's Bake Shop is Opened Another race enterprise was added to the rapid growing list of business houses when the Wilson Bakery, located at 560 Rondo street, corner of Kent, formally opened its doors to the public on Monday morning. The first of its kind to open in St. Paul and situated on a main thoroughfare, a lucrative patronage should be enjoyed by the Wilson Bakery. After gazing in the attractive window with its pleasing display of ples, cakes, rolls and bread, one simply can't resist the temptation to inspect the bakery from within. On entering, the customer is greeted by the winsome smile of Miss Mary Johnson, immaculately dressed in white and ready to give instant service. The bakery, strictly modern and sanitary, is equipped with the latest requirements. Everything is new and nothing but the best of materials is used in the composition of Wilson Bake Goods. The genial proprietor, Mr. J. R. Wilson, who is a real 100 per cent race man, informed us that he will endeavor at all times to please the public. The variety of goods will gradually be increased. Fancy pastries such as eclairs, cream puffs, macaroons and fruit cake can be purchased daily. In the opening of the Wilson Bakery an excellent opportunity has been afforded members of the race. Others employed under the supervision of Mr. Wilson are Messrs. F. Grigley and Maynard Alexander, who are employed in the baking department. Clef Club will "Balloon Strut" Clef Club will "Balloon Strut" A new dance novelty will be inaugurated by the Minneapolis Clef club Monday night at the South Side Auditorium in the form of a "Balloon Strut." The dancers are supplied with balloons which are tied securely to the ankle. The purpose is to puncture these balloons with using any form of sharp or blunt instruments. The one who goes through the evening and yet has the original balloon intact is decided the winner. The "Balloon Strut" promises to be one of the season's popular events. If you miss it you will not enjoy your Thanksgiving for thinking of what you should have attended. Mr. Wm. G. Wren, Jr., editor of the Scranton-Wilkes Barre Recorder, is stopping at the home of Mrs. J. Q. Adams, 527 St. Anthony avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Brooks, who appeared on the program at Union hall given by Mars Lodge, left for a concert tour throughout the state. □□□ □ □ □ □ □ □ --- Where To Go On Thanksgiving Folks in the Twin Cities on Thanksgiving Day, besides enjoying their Thanksgiving dinner, will also find plenty of amusement in store for them. Early in the morning at Duning field University Men and High School Alumni will clash on the gridiron, which should attract a large number of spectators. The Unity club will give a matinee dance at Union hall in the afternoon. At the same hall in the evening Fezanese Court No. 7, Daughters of Isis, will give their second annual ball, which is looked forward to with great pleasure. In the Mill City the Daughter Elks of Minnehaha Temple will entertain their friends at Elks' hall, Sixth and Lyndale avenue. All of the restaurants have arranged appetizing menus for those who dine away from home. The Ways and Means committee of Women's Clubs will serve dinner beginning at 12 o'clock until 7 at Pioneer hall, 588 Rondo street. Mrs. R. F. Wilson, culinary expert, will cook the dinner. It is hoped that all club women will give their support. Thanksgiving services will be held in many of the churches on that day. At Camphor M. E. church, 13th and Broadway, the ladies of the church will serve dinner and have arranged a tempting bill of fare. RENOWN ORATOR DRAWS CROWDS AT LOCAL CHURCH RENOWN ORATOR DRAWS CROWDS AT LOCAL CHURCH Request for Monday's Lecture Follows Appearance in Three Talks Sunday. Rev. Joseph Hill, who spoke at Pilgrim Baptist church, Cedar street and Summit avenue, last Sunday, brought to St. Paul three of the best messages ever delivered here. The renowned minister, lecturer, orator and gospel singer, spoke at three services Sunday to a large and appreciative audience and was in every respect equal to the splendid reputation he bears. So popular and much in demand was Rev. Hill that he was requested to lecture again on Monday evening at Pilgrim church. This request was compiled with and was announced Sunday evening following his address. The topic of Monday evening's discourse was relative to the human side of life and the many types of character represented. In his usual convincing and pleasing manner, Rev. Hill carried his hearers into every phase of human life, explaining as he went the things that make or break a people. Popular Speaker. Rev. Hill is beyond question of doubt one of the greatest speakers of the race. His triumphant success throughout Canada and in many sections of the United States has made him much in demand. His ability to rise up to his present place has been largely due to his own initiative. Born in Port Royal, Va., and being one of six children to be supported by a widowed mother, he succeeded in educating himself at Phillip Exeter Academy in New Hamshire. Rev. Hill has appeared on chataqua platforms as a lecturer for years. His personality is of such that he is always welcomed to appear again in every community he visits. His lecturers are the greatest inspiration to the young Negro as to what is possible for the person who wills to accomplish the best in life. The four addresses delivered here shall long be remembered by every one who heard them. The desire is unanimous that Rev. Hill may fill a return date at his convenience. Mrs. Clara B. Hardy, 518 St. Anthony avenue, has left for Montana, where she will visit with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Burnette, the remainder of the winter. PRICE: FIVE CENTS VING CLASSIC EVENT IS HERALD FOR THURSDAY, A. M. "U" and Alumnies Will Clash Second Time to Play Off the First Game. EACH TEAM ANXIOUS TO HANG CREPE ON OTHER Dunning Field Will Witness Ten O'Clock Game; Admission Is Free to All. The greatest event on Thanksgiving day no doubt will be the football game at Dunning field when the Maroon and Gold U gridders will try to avenge the almost defeat given them by the Blue and White high school alumni warriors on Armistice Day. The forward walls of both teams are strong and if the U fellows live up to their expectations the High forwards will have considerable trouble from the fleet-footed alumni backfield. The college team expects to feature straight football and the former High scholars the same. Yates, the great defensive college back, who was injured in the last battle, will be in perfect condition and will be a great addition to the U backfield. Stevens and Butler will start at quarter, while W. Minor will alternate on line and in backfield. Alumni Team Crippled. Brown and Vassar of the High backfield, also Clinton Minor, heavy guard, were injured in scrimmage this week, but may be in form before the whistle blows. Hoage and Woodard will be on hand to make big gains, while Walker will start end. No changes have been made in the alumni line-up. Much interest is being exhibited among football fans and the younger set and a great crowd is expected. The whistle will blow at 10 A. M., so it will be wise for every one to be on hand early. The probable line-up of both teams is as follows: University. H. S. Alumni. W. Minor... L. E... Foster H. Inge... L. T... Cassus P. Johnson... L. G... C. Minor Brown... C... Powell Lawrence... R. G... Rufner Neal... R. T... Howard Grissom... R. E... Walker Butler... Q... R. Brown Stevens... L. H... Vassar Yates... R. H... Woodard Chenault... F. B...

Triangle Club Gives Third Annual Ball One of the largest and most successful affairs of the winter season was given on Friday evening, November 16, by the Triangle club at Union hall when they entertained their numerous friends at a dancing party. Nearly three hundred persons tripped the light fantastic to the melodious strains of catchy music furnished by Stevens' Harmony Kings. The club members, who represent a group of the postal employes of the Twin Cities, lived up to their splendid reputation as entertainers and made special efforts to see that every one enjoyed themselves. Refreshing frappe was dispensed by the Misses Hall and Joyce. This was the third annual affair given by the Triangle club and in the language of the distinguished Coue year by year in every way they are larger and better. On November 29th a Thanksgiving dinner will be served by the club women. This dinner is for all, but especially those who have no home. Come out to Pioneer Hall, 588 Rondo St., on Thanksgiving Day. Dinner will be cooked by Mrs. R. F. Wilson (Villa) Nuff sed! Dinner will be served at 12 o'clock.

Member of the ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS "First in Service" KEEPING PACE WITH PROGRESS worth of any community is measured later development and the commercial development musiasm of the business men of that region every successful city are men who lend the making of their city. A second group the third set seek to retard any project they themselves. Still there is another group pertinacia because they oppose everything commercial activities or not. No consignits of organizations but the only thing dear down everything we cannot control attempt we will seek to create confusion that attempted will end in ultimate failure past two years St. Paul's race commenced rapidly than ever before, in the state through the organization of a Negro Business such capacities and at such times that to the race weare of this city. Like we were confronted with the "tear down" they met the "occasionally active" gentria" parties. Despite these adversities we men refused to be quitters and for the commercial activities of this work toward this end, were sometimes. They were accused of seeking to run. Then men who never attended the meete, who never concerned themselves as to speak of "a few men running things to take the helm. When the knockers were standing aloof and failing to co-ough they should have been members, utility was placed before the organization time men to be courageous enough to co-ough the nerve to be too broad to be nae envious, and too honorable to stoop to pulled the league into the top place. Running things. Must be expected of every organization. Do, some that can't do, yet they are ever other fellow for what he is willing to u-ure for some to seek to retard, others some seek to progress by hard work is the man that is too busy at his own neighbor lacks. The men who made them are deserving of the highest degree of in mind, and worked toward that end it false sentiment will prompt some, disjoint the organization, to congratulate because to be complimentary is some but those who bore the blunt to ache the race in St. Paul's commercial life. The worth of any community is measured largely by its commercial development and the commercial development is attributed to the enthusiasm of the business men of that respective community. In every successful city are men who lend their best knowledge to the making of their city. A second group work occasionally while a third set seek to retard any project that is not manipulated by themselves. Still there is another group that could be likened to inertia because they oppose everything, whether it be for greater commercial activities or not. No consideration is given to the benefits of organizations but the only thing in their minds is "let us tear down everything we cannot control or if unsuccessful in the attempt we will seek to create confusion to the extent that everything attempted will end in ultimate failure." In the past two years St. Paul's race commercial men have developed more rapidly than ever before, in the same time. This was done through the organization of a Negro Business league to function in such capacities and at such times that would prove beneficial to the race weare of this city. Like every organization, they were confronted with the "tear down" faction within the rank. They met the "occasionally active" group. They also met the "inertia" parties. Despite these adversaries there were some of the men who refused to be quitters and did the so-called impossible for the commercial activities of this community. These men, who work toward this end, were sometimes called "the higher ups." They were accused of seeking to run things their own way. Then men who never attended the meetings of the Business league, who never concerned themselves as to development, are the first to speak of "a few men running things." Well, somebody had to take the helm. When the knockers were busy, while others were standing aloof and failing to co-operate with the league, although they should have been members, while the burden of responsibility was placed before the organization, it was necessary for some men to be courageous enough to continue the fight. Those who had the nerve to be too broad to be narrow, too cosmopolitan to be envious, and too honorable to stoop to treachery, were those who pulled the league into the top place. Yet they are accused of running things. Such must be expected of every organization. There are some that won't do, some that can't do, yet they are ever ready to censure the other fellow for what he is willing to undertake. It is human nature for some to seek to retard, others to fail to function, while some seek to progress by hard work and persistence. The latter is the man that is too busy at his own task to find out what his neighbor lacks. The men who made the Business league a reality are deserving of the highest degree of support. They kept a goal in mind, and worked toward that end. It is to be expected that false sentiment will prompt some, who previously sought to disjoint the organization, to congratulate the league on its success because to be complimentary is sometimes a mark of diplomacy; but those who bore the blunt to achieve the desired have kept the race in St. Paul's commercial life in the van of progress. A PLEA FOR BETTERMENT the time when race artists are growing world there seems to be a concerted effort to select the most common of titles, borderlines, for the numbers offered. This is the representative power of seven professional artists in America. The ing used by our phonograph artists is a generally characterized by the conduit morph that is our industrial life. Just at the time when race artists are growing popular in the phonograph world there seems to be a concerted effort on the part of many to select the most common of titles, bordering on vulgarity and suggestiveness, for the numbers offered. This particular phase of industry is the representative power of several of the best known race professional artists in America. The regret that such titles are being used by our phonograph artists is partially because the race is generally characterized by the conduct and work of such of its members that are inpublic life. At his very best the Negro is not rated overly high by the other group, especially from a point of morals. It is the concensus of opinion in many centers that both sexes of the race are representatives of moral laxity. Yet some of our famed artists are contributing much toward this sentiment by giving titles of an immoral nature to commodities that reach hundreds of homes in every section of the country. The phonograph record can be made to express the exact disposition and characteristic of any artist. The fact that the action of a race person is so frequently branded as the characteristic of the Negro in general, should carry such weight that the utmost precaution should be used in safeguarding racial interest. When records were first made by race artists, the sale was largely confined to members of the race; not because of their lesser quality, but because the race purchaser was more interested in securing numbers by his own. Now the sale covers a much larger area, records being purchased as much, if not more, by the other group than by the race buyers. At this time when the possibilities of increased popularity is evident shall the impression be more forcibly made by the Negro himself that suggestiveness in selecting names for productions is more to be appreciated than a cleaner title? Have our famed "blues" singers and their popular accompanists disregarded racial interest in their quest for popularity? There is a certain element that the most unethical of literature and songs will appeal to, but there are others to be considered that do not find enjoyment in derogatory programs. We do not set ourselves up as criterions of morals, but when cognizance is taken of the fact that school children are being taught to read good literature only to find suggestiveness in music from those expected to represent the race the question of what is the effect, comes. The seed of suggestiveness is being sown into that which it is expected to become the future generation. Unless clean, wholesome pastime is afforded, great things cannot be expected of them. It would be better if not one record were made by some of our race artists than the type being put on the market at the present. We are not objecting to the music but we do suggest a different kind of title. A title that a woman need not hesitate to ask for when a purchase is made from a gentleman clerk. These embarrassing situations must be eliminated by those responsible for race records, some of which are the rottenest ever conceived to have printed titles, while many others are not of a better nature. With the fight against obscene literature and pictures that demoralize youth let the fight against vulgarity in phonograph records be waged. We subscribe word for word and thought for thought to the following remarks taken from a sermon delivered by Archbishop Ireland on May 5, 1890, in St. Augustine's Church, Washington, D. C. Thirty-three years have passed since these remarks were made. Oh, if thousands had given heed and other thousands had voiced the same sentiments, would prejudice still prevail? "It makes me ashamed as a man, as a citizen, as a Christian, to see the prejudice that is acted against the colored citizen of America because of his color. As to the substance, the colored man is equal to the white man; he has a like intellect, the same blood courses in their veins; they are both equally the children of a common Father. Who is in heaven. A man shows a narrowness of mind and acts unworthy of his humanity by refusing any privilege to his fellow-man because he is colored. Every prejudice entertained, every breach of justice and charity against a fellow-citizen because of color is a stain flung upon the banner of our liberty that floats over us. "No church is a fit temple of God where a man because of his color is excluded or made to occupy a corner. Religion teaches that we cannot be pleasing to God unless we look upon all mankind as children of our Father in heaven. And they who order and compel a man because he is colored to betake himself to a corner marked off for his race, practically contradict the principles of justice and of equal rights established by the God of mercy, who lives on the altar. Let Christians act out their religion, and there is no more race problem. Equality for the colored man is coming. The colored people are showing themselves worthy of it. Let the colored be industrious, purchase homes, respect law and order, educate themselves and their children and keep insisting on their rights. "The Color Line' must go and soon, too. The line will be drawn at personal merit." We wonder seriously at the value of Christianity as professed by the average church of the other group when the "Color Line" is recognized in the church just as much as on the street. True there is no desire on the part of race to become affiliated with the religious life of those of the other group. However, it is strange that some may call themselves Christians, yet violate the first principles of Christianity—the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. All of the society debs, co-eds, admirers and friends in the Twin Cities should turn out en masse to root for the maroon and gold or the blue and white. Wear your chrysanthemums and colors and make this a memorable event.

HOME OF FRED SCHUCK IS DAMAGED BY SMALL FIRE On Saturday morning the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schuck, 574 St. Anthony avenue, was partly damaged by fire to the extent of $500.00. A new furnace, which was not completely installed, caused the fire by becoming overheated. The blaze was confined mostly to the lower floor. Most of the family was asleep with the exception of Mrs. Benaree Hamilton, sister of Mrs. Schuck, who had gone to a neighborhood store. On her return the house was full of smoke. She immediately rushed upstairs and aroused the rest of the family and summoned the fire department, who responded at once, getting the fire under control without any great damage. The occupants no doubt might have been seriously injured had not Mrs. Hamilton arrived in time and by her presence of mind averted a calamity.

According to plans now being considered, Chattanooga is to have a model Negro community, the purpose being to provide living conditions so agreeable that the Negroes of this region will be dissuaded from seeking their fortune or happiness in the North. The Rotary club of this city will support the movement, and Adolph Ochs of New York will lend his aid to see that the venture is a success. Siki, the French representative of its fistic battlers, is here trying his best to work up some American sentiment. He has been quoted as having had trouble with his French lions, so it is hoped that the Eastern fighters will not bare this brunt. Kid Norfolk is scheduled to meet the European Panther in the very near future. The date has been indefinite since Siki's run-in with the Canadian officials. Mrs. Otis Woodard and little daughter arrived home from the hospital and are doing nicely. SIMON'S FURNITURE COMPANY 441 St. Peter St. BETTER FURNITURE FOR FEWER DOLLARS Listen Folks!

Cedar 8081 Uptown Sanitary System 339 Wabahsa Street THE FOUNDERS OF THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS AND CULTURES IN NEW YORK SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN coming along and looked into the uming car on this train I just was so hungry that I decided to hop on and have dinner on the diner and then get off at Arden. I knew a man that used to do that every night. "Then his wife didn't have to bother having any dinner when he got home. But I don't think that was nice at all. I think she ought to have been glad to get dinner for him, don't you?" "By all means," said Gregory, finding this very young woman quite diverting—far more diverting than any of the books, papers or magazines that he had used to read so diligently that he hadn't even seen the pretty face beneath the hat. "I had often thought I'd do it some time. I'd just have to, because I've never had dinner on a diner. Have you?" "Yes, I have," said Gregory, but he didn't add that it was not his idea of a great and glorious treat. "Sometimes you can smell the beefsteak broiling," said Marcia. "Um—but it's good. I've been in the station house when a dining car stopped and I always wished I could get in and have some. Those cooks, in their white capa, look splendid, don't they?" "Yes, indeed," said Gregory, and then after a pause, "Well, are you hungry now? If you are, let's dine." "You mean together?" "I'm asking you to be my guest." "Are you sure you—you can afford it?" asked Marcia, round eyed. "I mean, will you have enough to pay your fare back and still have enough to buy dinners? I was afraid I wouldn't be able to have dinner after all, because I'd have to save enough to get back." "I happen to have ample," said Gregory, and then, "Will your people be worried?" "Haven't any 'people,'" said Marcia. "Brother and I live at the boarding house and he's away. They won't worry—they may talk, at the boarding house." At one o'clock the next morning Marcia Ferguson rang the night bell of the boarding house where she and her brother boarded. She was let in by the owner of the establishment, to whom she offered no explanation. Forthwith, Mrs. Prunes began to speculate and her speculation took an interesting turn when she learned from one of her boarders that she had seen a young man who looked like "that very brilliant and rather eccentric Gregory Ives" leaving Marcia at the front door. The boarder had seen him through her front window. And so the gossiping began. Arden became interested. Gregory Ives had been following Marda Ferguson and she, the little minx, led him into the wrong train. "Well," said Mrs. Prunes, when the engagement was announced, "girls these days have to be pretty smart to get husbands." WAS TOO MUCH FOR DUTCH There is one piece of Holland soil from which even Dutch determination does not restrain the invading waters—one battleground which for generations has been held under tribute by the foe. It is the Island of Marken, in the Zuider Zee, about a dozen miles from Amsterdam. This island, detached from the mainland in the Thirteenth century, lies out of the ordinary routes of travel, hence its inhabitants have perpetuated the quaint costumes and queer customs that prevailed when their land became an island. The ground is barely above the water at high tide, so that any unusual storm would sweep completely over such protecting dikes as the people could afford to build. With characteristic shrewdness, they long ago counted the cost of such fortifications as the exposed position would necessitate and wisely concluded that the grounds at stake would not justify the expenditure. They therefore dug such canals as would drain the soil under ordinary conditions, and used the earth thus obtained in building hillocks on which houses are erected. On seven of these mounds houses are grouped, while on the eighth is the silent home of the dead. The buildings that are not so favorably situated with respect to the highest point of the hill are built on stilts, the lower story being merely framework and only the upper part occupied. A gangway connects with adjacent houses, so that in case of an overflow isolation cannot be complete. James Howard Gore in the National Geographic Magazine. Indians in the United States. There are about 340,000 Indians outside of Alaska. Of these about 180,000 have been released from the personal guardianship of the United States government, though many of this number retain an interest in tribal funds or tribal lands. To receive a parcel of land in individual fee-simple ownership is, for an Indian, the usual path out of wardship into citizenship. About 210,000 Indians remain in personal as well as property wardship, and in these "unemancipated" Indians the governmental, ethnic and cultural problem of the Indian is summed up. The following, with other states, have interesting or numerically important groups of Indians: Florida, North Carolina, Mississippi, New York, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, Oklahoma, North and South Dakota, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, California, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico. There are 210 reservations; their area is 120,000 square miles.—Current History Magazine. DEFECTIVE PAGE (©, 1923, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) To begin with, Gregory Ives merely knew her as the girl with the green hat. She commuted in a green hat for montha. Then she changed to French blue, and the first night Gregory nearly missed his train because he didn't have the usual green hat to follow. But he quickly adjusted his eyes to the hat of French blue. Gregory Ives read what he found worth while of the evening papers and got through a good many magazines besides, because from the time he left his office until he reached his house an hour and a quarter later he read whenever it was possible. He reached the station a few minutes before train time and used the few minutes reading. Occasionally he would give a quick glance to get whether the green hat—later the bright blue hat—was in sight. If he saw it moving toward the trainhead, then he knew it was train time. One evening when Gregory Ives was especially interested in an article in a scientific magazine he followed the blue hat without really thinking that it boarded the train on the right of the runway, whereas his train always made up on the left; and it was not until the train had drawn out of the great shed and was already going at a pretty good rate of speed that he noticed that except for the young woman in the seat opposite who were the blue hat there were no familiar faces in the car. Moreover, the conductor as he approached was none of those who usually punched his ticket. He jumped up, looked about and then sat down again. To the conductor, when he reached him, he handed his commutation ticket with an inquiring glance. The conductor looked at the ticket and then critically at the man. "Guess I'm on the wrong train," said Gregory. "This doesn't stop at Arden, does it?" "This is a through express," said the conductor. "We make a straight run without stop," and he mentioned a city that was three hours distant. "Don't you stop at Arden even if there are passengers to get off there?" came a sharp query from across the aisle—and Gregory Ives noticed that beneath the hat there were very pretty eyes and a face that somehow looked familiar. "No, we don't," said the conductor with something to contempt. "You used to stop there. You'll just have to get the engineer to stop tonight. I've got to get off there." "Sorry, miss," said the conductor. "They may have stopped there on request once, but not for a year or two. And of course we can't make special stopa." "I think that's perfectly outrageous," said the girl as she fumbled in her purse to get the necessary car fare demanded by the conductor. Then, having collected fare from Gregory also, the conductor moved on. "You thought we stopped at Arden, didn't you?" said the girl. "I imparted so," said Gregory. "But "I imagined so," said Gregory. "But it doesn't make any difference—I—" "Doesn't make any difference!" exclaimed the girl. "It certainly does make a difference to me. I won't get home till all hours. It's dreadful." "I only mean that it didn't make any great difference to me," said Gregory. "Well, I think if two persons could be mistaken like this," said the pretty young woman, "then the railroad company must be to blame. I certainly thought this train stopped at Arden, and you must have thought so, too, or you wouldn't have got on it." "I got on because you did," said Gregory quite calmly. "You followed me!" said the girl with low-voiced rage. "I always do. It's convenient—not you, but your hat. Then I can go on reading or thinking. You usually take the five-thirteen. This time for some reason you took the five-ten. I have just looked it up in my time-table and the conductor is right. It is not marked to stop at Arden. It doesn't stop again until eight-three." "I should think you were excessively rude, if not a little crazy, to talk the way you have been talking," said the girl, "if it were not that I know you are. You're Mr. Gregory Ives and I met you at a country club dance with my brother. He introduced you—but you have quite forgotten." "Not at all," assured Gregory, leaning across the aisle. "Now that I see you I remember. You're Miss Ferguson, Max Ferguson's sister—Marda, I believe. I merely knew your hat. Charming hat. Most girls wear such somber hats you can't follow them. You always wear something nice and bright. I got quite attached to that green one, though this is charming." Marcia Ferguson was frankly pleased with the rather blatant flattery, so she suggested to Mr. Ives that he take the seat beside her. For once he was quite content not to read. "Now," he said, "I've told you why I got on this train. You haven't told me why you led me astray. I'm really rather curious." "I was hungry," said Marcia simply. "It's cornbelt and cabbage night at home and I hate it, and I had a very skimpy lunch. But we got paid this afternoon and—well, as I was SHORT CUTS Howard is back in Luxfer to resume work in King Tut's tomb. The Fahrenheit system of college degrees shows a strong disposition to disagree. California's and Washington's alien land laws have been upheld by the U. S. Supreme Court. Perhaps the foul name of Ku Klux should be changed to the fowl name of Few Klucks. The vehement sentiment echoed by former President Wilson's Armistice Day speech is apt to encourage a split in the Democratic party. A Bible class at Kansas City is flatly accused by J. R. Lingenfelter of wilfully cheating in the inter-city attendance contest. Two white crowds were discovered in a flock of black ones at Cumberland, Md. The natives wonder if this is mythological social equality. It is said that France is considering the dispensatory privilege of permitting foreign women to keep their own nationality after marriage to Frenchmen. Washington police declare that a colored maid nearly strangled to death by endeavoring to secrete four stolen one-dollar notes in her mouth. Mayor W. C. Rhean of Lancaster, Pa., vehemently decried the placing of white roses on the flaming cross of the Ku Klux Klan during its ceremonies. The mayor deemed the action as an "insult" to the roses. Senator Underwood of Alabama is apparently waning in whatever enthusiasm he may have had for the Ku Klux Klan. The senator is quoted as saying that no progress will be made by any organization which has as its principal aim the fighting of races and religions. A delegation of Ku Klux recently became so invisible in parade formation that eleven prisoners, aided by outside assistance, escaped from the jail at Arlington, Va. The jail officials, it is said, had temporarily forsaken their duties for a glimpse of the hooded knights. EFFECT OF MIGRATION IS SEEN; 'YAMS' POPULAR (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Nov. 10.—Is the migration from the South affecting conditions in the North? The following story from one of the business men in Chicago will illustrate the point: "Some years ago," says the informant, "I received a letter from a friend of mine in the South asking me to find a Chicago market for yams—the bigger and better sweet potato. I went to practically every commission house in Chicago, only to be told that there was no market for them. They said they were willing to take Jerseys, the eastern sweet potato or Irish potatoes, but yams—nothing doing. "With the coming of migrants from the South, there also came a demand for yams; so strong was the demand that the stores of the South Side began to seek them. Today every store on the South Side sells them, and the demand has spread to all parts of Chicago." Along the eating line, the same is true of black-eyed peas, ocrа, hominy grits and other vegetables famous in the Sunny South. An Italian vegetable dealer, in one of the markets of Cleveland, Ohio, said to a racial purchaser, after she had bought corn, string beans and lettuce: "Don't you want some ocrа? "What's that, said the Cleveland lady? "Why, ain't you from the South?" inquired the surprised Italian. "No," said the lady, "I was born and reared right here in Cleveland. I think that is more than you can say." INFLUX CAUSES BIGGER SCHOOLS TO BE BUILDED (By the Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 24.—The Board of Education has begun on work the people of this city believe indicates large programs for the improvement of conditions in the colored schools. Sunday the cornerstone was laid for the new Lincoln school at 23rd and Walnut streets, before a large crowd of people, many notables being present. The Central School Patron's Association was given a prominent place on the program. The rapid growth of the city and the influx of new residents have given impetus to the movement for large school facilities. There is every reason to believe the board is alive to the needs and will not permit a shortage of facilities to long endure. The schools have been always considered of a high standard and will be kept that way. Mr. Geo. M. Davis is in the city from Los Angeles, Cal., visiting his sister, Mrs. Eliza Younger, 404 No. Dale street, and father, G. M. Davis, who he has not seen for 20 years. Send Us Your Clothes!

C., Nov. 24.—At the Greenwood county fair, held here last week, the Morris Tigers downed the Allen University team, 13 to 0. This is the first time that two race teams have taken part in the fair and the hearty support shown by the people was taken as a good sign. Mor- ris College has been beaten by the Allen team and this game was their revenge. They showed up well and satisfied the throng. Washington, D. C., Nov. 24.—The Howard aggregation slipped one over on the Virginia Normal in the shape of a neat defeat to the tune of 19 to 7. The game was played at the American League park before a larg crowd of rooters and spectators. Howard opened up with her substi- tute team and secured several touch- downs without much difficulty. The regulars took charge of the situation in the second half and secured the other touchdown. The game was the most thrilling that the Capitol city folk have wit- nessed in a long time. The Virginians kept things at high pressure with their aerial attack. The home team was not to be outdone in any way, so with their backfield play they kept things at a balance. In all of the quarters there were only four penal- ties made. Boasting of a fairly clean game. | Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 24.—Hampton won its fifth consecutive victory when they defeated the Shaw eleven here. This team is fast, repeating the feat of last season when they won the championship. After a series of Une plunges and forward passes the Hampton eleven put themselves on the long end of a 6 to 0 seore. This was a cleanly played game with no penalties. Hampton, V4.,~Nov. 24.—While the regulars were off trouneing the Shaw squad, the Hampton third team showered themselves with victory when they defeated the Union high school here to the tune of 21 to 2. A large percentage of the student body was out to witness this game. Hampton kicked to Union. This fast bunch of Righ schoolers held the ball for three successive first downs before Hampton got the ball. Hamp- ton, with a variation of field tricks, worked the ball down to Union high’s 6-yard line and Dryson carried it over for a touchdown. Hampton scored the other touchdown on a fumble. Lee picked the ball up and ran 35 yards for another touchdown. Robinson, Dyson, Lee and McKin- ale starred for Hampton. Smith car- ried off the honors for Union. Union secured her two points on a safety, downing a Hampton man behind the goal after fumbling a punt. Chicago, Ill., Nov. 24.—The Negro National League is scheduled to meet here on the fifth of December, at which time the affairs of the league ‘will be discussed. There are many ‘questions to be taken up at this con- vention. The Kansas City Monarchs will be presented with the pennant. “Ruck” Save— —he overheard Coach Stagg of the University of Chicago discussing the “Amateur-Pro” question with one of his old students and wondered if there might be anything in it for him. He said he couldn't see any harm ‘in some star getting some pay for playing the game. Most of the play- ers he knew weren't above receiving a little change for their efforts, After he had been listening for a while he resolved the situation into a battle between the promoter and the col- lege. ‘There isn’t a bit of doubt in my mind that the game played by the amateur, no matter what line of sport it might be in, is no better than the pro. It is true a player has to be a good amateur before he can enter the professional ranks. In most cases this comes after he has left college. This is where the pro beings to dig Into the profits of the college. He has earned his letter and since he can't buy a pair of shoes with his letter he turns pro. There is one thing I must admit. One doesn’t get the same thrill at a professional game that he gets while viewing the tussle between two rival Universities for a championship. The college game has not only skill, it has organized enthusiasm, music which touches the heart of ev- ery one whether he is @ college man oF not, and the school combined spir- it. So while in college boost your Alma Mater, when you get out put your support behind your favorite player. (By the Associated Negro Press) Cheyney, Pa., Nov. 17.—Cheyney Normal took the fast Wissahickon eleven into camp to the tune of 19-0. “Flash” Mason, star Cheyney back, showered himself with honors by his brilliant playing. At one time during the game he picked up the pigskin and carried it thirty yards for a touchdown. He was also able to take the leather around the end fifty yards before one of the Wissahickon tackles stopped him. “Lightning” Newton, Mason's run- ning mate, took his share of the hon- ors by three runs in the second half. “Bullet” Allen, fullback, showed the visitors that their line needed much strengthening. During the first peri- od of the game there was quite a good deal of fumbling, cutting down on the touchdowns which could have been made. (By the Associated Negro Press) Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 17.—Roger Williams’ huskies, under “Buck” Hunt, have drawn up a program for this month whieh will ring through the South. There is no limit to the honor Roger Williams can heap upon herself while on the gridiron. Their reputation will be made when they meet the following teams: Nov. 10—Tennessee State College at Nashville. Nov. 17.—Philander Smith at Memphis. November 29—Lane College at Nashville. Wes Business League Exposition — DECEMBER 10-11 Moore's Town Talk Band (By the Associated Negro Press) Marshall, Texas, Nov. 17.—Before a large gathering of cheering rooters, the Bishop Tigers gave the Prairie View eleven a very severe drubbing. At no time were the Tigers in any great danger, although they had to fight every minute of the game, which ended 22 to 0 in their favor. Jermany, captain and quarterback, took the honors. He made a drop- kick in the first quarter, scoring three points. This kick was made from the 30-yard line and passed squarely between the posts. In the third peri- od he carried the ball for a gain of 85 yards through an open field, plac- ing it on Prairie View's 7-yard line. His line plunging always netted his team from five to ten-yard gains. The constant pounding of the Tigers at the visitors’ line soon wore them down and enabled Jermany to carry the leather over twice. King, playing at halfback for the Tigers, carried the pigskin over once. ‘The Prairie View team had for their leading lights, Martin, Thomp- son and Pollard. C. C. Owen kept the ball out of the danger zone with his accurate punts, averaging around 65 yards on each one. Coach Collins, a protege of Coach Jones of the University of Iowa, de- serves much credit for the masterly manner in which he has whipped his team into shape. ~ f < ’ x J oad ie . 3 Cg eee Ea S {4 a oa ee | ara ii. | mie aie cera 1 4 Cg eS Pe (fee . a. af a =e ea ad . ; Mairama March. ce--eeee ogee eneenenen Me Js Spitalmy Who'se Sorry Now— Selection—Apple Blossoms ......-....-.------Kathleen R.

C., Nov. 17.—Pey- ton of Wilberforce took the honors and paved the way for the victory of his team by a timely touchdown in the second halt. Howard kicked off to Wilberforce, who made things appear as though they were going to make their points. Brown of Wilberforce got hold of the ball and threw a scare into the home team with a 24-yard run. Then fol- lowed a long series of kicks and passes. Once the Force got the ball off Howard's 8-yard line and three plunges failed to get the pigskin be- hind the posts. The half ended with Howard carrying the Ohfoans down the field with line bucks and short end runs. In the second quarter the Force came back strong. Hurd and Huff, their backs, made some good gains. Captain Doneghy slipped through the Ohioans’ line and tore down the field and covered 41 yards before dropped, Williams took a forward pass and added 10 yards to the Captain's gains. Doneghy made another plunge adding 9 yards but failed on the punt. ‘The half ended with the Foree in possession of the ball on their own 22-yard line, In the second half the Force was completely out-played. It was in this period that Peyton made his sensa- tional plunge, scoring the only touch- down. The final period was the final effort of the Ohioans to make a score. ‘They were well matehed in their fleld play, so they resorted to an aerial at- tack. Although some of these were successful, it netted them nothing. Howard started another rush down the field and were about to put the ball over again when the Foree put im three substitutes and held the home team for the fourth down. The Force kicked out of danger, but were stopped by the whistle. Peyton scored the only touchdown of the game, with Doneghy making the ex- tra point. ‘The annual meeting of the Sterling club will be held on Friday, Novem- ber 23, at which time the officers of the club will be elected for the en- suing year. New Insurance Company Being Backed by Pace Board of Directors Comprises Some of Nation's Foremost Financiers. (By the Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., Nov. 24.—An announcement has just been made of the organization of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company with headquarters at Newark, N. J., with an authorized capital of $199,999 and an authorized surplus of the same amount. The incorporators of the company are prominent New York and New Jersey business men who represent in the aggregate wealth of nearly $2,000,000. The Northeastern Life Insurance Company is the culmination of a series of attempts to organize a life insurance company in the northeastern section of this country during the past two or three years. Most of these efforts were made by white promoters who immediately abandoned the project as soon as they did not earn the commissions which they thought they should have earned. A number of these organizations have been gathered up and the men who are interested in them have been welded into one strong group who are backing the Northeastern Life. The company is being organized by two of the most thoroughly experienced and best known insurance men in the country. Harry H. Pace, the president of the new organization, was one of the organizers, and for a number of years was secretary-treasurer of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., which has grown to such big proportions during its 10 years of activity. Much of the success of that company is due to the pioneer work which Mr. Pace gave to that organization when it needed experienced business men. Many of the men who are now connected with it were unable to see any future for the organization until the results of his work began to be apparent. Associated with him is Mr. T. A. Dickson, who occupies the unique position of having written and paid for more life insurance than any other agent in the race. Mr. Dickson has had more than 15 years of experience in the insurance and banking business and resigned an important position with the Liberty Life of Chicago to come East and assist in the organization of the Northeastern Life. Organizers and Board. Prominent among the board of directors and organizers are Mr. Louis C. Bulloch, who has served as mayor of his home town in New Jersey, together with his brother, James H. Bulloch, both of whom are retired business men. Mr. J. W. Roberson and Mr. Charles J. Hilton are both large real estate operators, Dr. C. S. Donnell of Newark, brother of Dr. Clyde Donnell, medical director of the North Carolina Mutual, Dr. Louis T. Wright of New York, who was Madame C. J. Walker's personal physician, Mr. Ellsworth Mercer and Dr. S. G. Elbert of Wilmington, Del., the latter of whom is regarded as one of the largest property owners in Delaware, Mr. G. T. Young of Philadelphia, proprietor of the Sophia Beauty preparations, Dr. F. M. Jacobs of Brooklyn, the only Negro member of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, and many other prominent men and women. The attitude of the other colored life insurance companies toward this new organization might be well expressed by the statement of Mr. J. M. Avery, vice-president of the North Carolina Mutual, who in congratulating Mr. Pace on the formation of the company, stated: "There is room ETHIOPIA'S GETHSEMANE Page 4 enough in this country for ten Old Line Legal Reserve Life Insurance Companies. The North Carolina Mutual welcomes you into the field. We do not regard you as a competitor nor should any other insurance company regard any other colored life insurance company as their competitor. We all have more powerful competitors to whom we must give attention. We should all seek to help each other and I pledge you, for my company and my associates, any legitimate assistance we can render." Mr. F. L. Gillespie, president of the Liberty Life of Chicago, was one of the first subscribers of stock in the company, as is also Mr. T. K. Gibson, president of the Supreme Life and Casualty Company of Columbus, Ohio. The new company starts off with the best wishes of its friends throughout the country and gives every indication of early success. Committee Now For 'Y' Center Committee Now For 'Y' Center Mrs. Cordella A. Winn, national field secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association spoke to a group of club women at the club center, 598 West Central avenue, for the purpose of organizing a branch Y. W. C. A. The first thing to be considered in any organization is your working group. Without co-operation you cannot expect to gain results, Mrs. Winn stated, and in order to touch the lives of all girls and women in the community one hundred women working together as a standing committee are necessary. The board of directors, composed of twelve members, will select the chairman of the various committees. A democratic group, selected from all of the churches in the city, will be named. At least ten women will be used on the lesser committees, which are educational, finance, house, employed girls, membership, room registrary, physical education, girls' work and community study. Excellent results have been obtained in various places, Mrs. Winn says, by committee work, which is more business-like and systematical. A splendid outline of the work was given by Mrs. Winn. Short talks were given by Miss Amy Hall, secretary; also Mrs. Mitchell, president of the Y. W. C. A., and Miss George. Mrs. Elizabeth Houghton is our authorized collector on subscriptions for the Northwestern Bulletin. Do not pay any one else unless they can show proper credentials. Miss Maxine Salters has been taken to Ancker hospital, where she will shortly undergo an operation. A number of friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schuck last Friday evening and surprised Mr. Henry Petticord on his (?) birthday. The guests enjoyed music and dancing throughout the evening, which was followed by a delicious luncheon. ODD FELLOWS GIVE SHOW ON WEDNESDAY EVENING A snappy program was presented at Union hall on last Wednesday evening by Mars Lodge 2202, G. U. O. Q. F., which gave their Harvest entertainment. The various numbers on the program were highly enjoyed. In a comedy skit, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Brooks evoked great merriment. They were assisted by Messrs. Frank Madison in the latest dancing steps, George True, drummer, and Henry Wise, saxophone, who proved to be peerless entertainers. After the program dancing was indulged in until midnight. This form of entertainment was rather novel and made a big hit with those who attended. WHAT BUSINESS PEOPLE THINK OF EXPOSITION WHAT BUSINESS PEOPLE THINK OF EXPOSITION Local Commercial Enterprises Give Favorable Comment on Great Project. The life of the community is expressed in its business. If you are not dead you will exhibit and boost the Exhibition—Attorney Geo. W. Hamilton. The action of the Negro Business Exhibition which began last year and is to be repeated this year is the beginning of a new era of the Negro business enterprises in St. Paul. I predict a wonderful result from same.—Dr. R. L. Hill. One of the greatest things that has ever taken place in the City of St. Paul.—Dr. E. S. Weber. Indication of progressive Negro business. The people of Minneapolis and St. Paul should attend this great exhibition because the future of the colored people everywhere depends upon their ability to develop commercial enterprises.—Mr. Elmer Carter. Every one knows that the people must patronize race enterprises if they expect to keep economic progress of the country. As a medium for getting acquainted and as a method of demonstrating to us what the race can do is the best scheme possible.—Dr. J. Walton Crump. I think the exhibition presents a wonderful opportunity to display progress of business made by the people of our group in this community and should be well patronized.—Attorney W. T. Francis. It is the greatest thing that ever has taken place since the Elks' convention.—W. T. Utley. This exhibition should be patronized by every one in the Twin Cities and all persons who are in any kind of business should financially support it.—E. H. Starks. "We are going to make it a Grand Success." It only takes a little time and thought besides financial support to put it over.—Mrs. L. Ellott. I think it is a Grand "Howwelling" success and I am tickled that they have gone to the St. Paul Auditorium.—Mr. Bismark Archer. ROLAND HAYES RETURNS FROM EUROPEAN TOUR (By the Associated Negro Press) Boston, Mass., Nov. 24.—Roland Hayes, the famous American tenor, scored a triumph in his appearance at Symphony Hall last Friday. He returned to Boston from his triumphal European tour to appear as soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, one of America's leading musical organizations. His selection is a distinction of which colored musical America all feel proud of. Mr. Hayes was born in Curryville, Ga., and passed most of his life and received his musical education here. He gave his first recital in Boston, November 18, 1912. The critics are enthusiastic in their praise and predict a wonderful career for him. "SHUFFLE ALONG" MAKES BIG HIT IN ST.

Mr. Aaron Malone of Poro College fame, St. Louis, lead in the movement for a constructive instead of destructive policy to build up the A. M. E. church and is one of the backers of Mr. Hall. Because of the inefficiency of Ira T. Bryant, secretary of A. M. E. church Sunday schools and the injudicious use of Sunday school journals for scandal instead of teaching ideals and religion, the laymen of several Episcopal districts seeking to remove Bryant have asked Mr. Hall for permission to use his name as a candidate.
