Growing Thank You! $1.50 a Year. 5c a Copy Colored Americans and Food Control Specially Prepared for the Weekly Press by Charles Stewart in the Office of the United States Food Administration, Section Co-Operating Organizations. Washington, D. C. "can I do to assist in this great struggle into which our country has been seeded?" is the question being asked. Negroes all over this country, while there are thousands of them, have passed the age limit for arm's service, yet their loyalty, their love, country, and their patriotism them to strive to do something. Through the weekly papers of the race throughout the country the United States Food Administration is attempting to answer this question, and show each individual what can be done in this direction—how to help to win the war, for win we must. Our soldiers who are to do the fighting must be fed and clothed, and the feeding of the American soldiers is up to the United States. Not only must we feed our own, but we must feed the soldiers of the Allies, and we are now trying to make the supply equal to the demand. The food shortage in Europe forces the peoples of Europe to look to us for foodstuffs, and we must supply it. To accomplish this, we must have the co-operation of every American citizen in the matter of conservation of food. It is hoped that every family, every man, woman and child of our race will enter into this work and study well the information which is being sent to them by the Food Administration, free of charge. There is no doubt that food is the deciding factor in this war. Then let us furnish food and back it up with money and men—men who are true Americans, men who are not afraid to die, men who will fight for the right. Our country is reverently dedicating to the battle of free government the lives of some of our best young men. Not white men alone, nor black men alone, but men—young men of both races, white and black. With hearts full of love for freedom and democracy, and tears of love for their boys flowing down their cheeks, our mothers are giving to their country their sons. These young men, strong and vigorous, are willing to spill every drop of blood coursing through their veins as did their fathers, when called upon in every conflict in which our country has been engaged. When these young men are out on the battlefield or in the trenches it becomes our duty to see that they are fed. Our Allies must have more food than they can raise, and to them we must send more than we can really spare. Looking forward to doing this we must make a change in our daily habits, a change that can easily be made and must be made. It must be recognized that we are one solid America—not white Americans, nor black Americans. We have all been happy together, and now come the hardships of war. Can we suffer together, if need be? Can we go to the battle with a solid front? Within our race we must unite—unite our local, State and national organizations, for it is through these that we must carry to all of our people information about the national need of conservation of food. Our women must do their part. They must willingly give their signatures to the United States Food Administration pledge. If you are at the head of an organization, or even a member, whether it be local, State or federal, see to it that Prof. A. U. Craig, United States Food Administration, is put in touch with your organization at once and literature will be sent to it. Let us look at some of the things we can do in the direction outlined. We can help to win the war and to furnish the necessary food by changing our diet, by seeing to it that there is no waste in our kitchens, in our dining rooms and through our garbage cans. How to Save. We must cut down on our dishes. That is, we must not have so many courses at our homes, and cook only what can be used at a meal, and if there be any left over use it in another meal. Have fewer banquets and big spreads. There must be common, economical living until after this war. Use less sugar, less wheat flour, less bacon and the like, and make your meals as far as possible from the things produced in your own garden, or in the community where you live. This will help, and the request is THE MONITOR due to the increasing necessity of using our transportation system for supplies connected with the war. By this the usual transfer of foodstuffs between different sections of the country has been interrupted and this puts upon every family the patriotic necessity of increasing as far as feasible the use of foodstuff produced locally. Use your local vegetables and fruits, those from nearby sources rather than thoes transported from long distances. Use what you have rather than buy something. Make what you have last as long as possible. We may have a surplus of perishable material as the result of our home gardens. Let us adjust our eating habits so as to utilize this present crop. The plans outlined by the Food Administration are meeting with general approval and people everywhere are falling in line. We must not be behind, for whatever concerns one concerns all. Make feeding yourself a study, keeping ever before you the men in the trenches and their needs. In this you are helping to win the war. Nebraskans Will Go to Camp Funston Three-Fourths of State's Quota of One Hundred Men Are Drawn From Omaha, Lincoln Sends Lincoln, Neb.—Governor Neville on Monday received notice from the war department that Nebraska's Colored men in the draft army will proceed to the cantonment at Fort Riley, Kas., between October 27 and 31. Nearly a hundred Colored men in this state were drawn on the first draft. Three-fourths of the Nebraska Negro contingent will come from Omaha, there being seventy-three men to go from Douglas county. Lincoln and Lancaster county will contribute six. The following other counties are represented in the movement. Two men eachl Kimbal, and Phelps. One man each, Adams, Box Butte, Buffalo, Cherry, Custer, Jefferson, Keith, Saline and Thayer. This is the fourth contingent sent to camp and it is the smallest one from Nebraska, owing to the relatively small percentage of Negro population from this state. PUBLIC RECEPTION FOR SOLDIERS The Negro Civic and Industrial League Has Secured Council Chamber for Meeting Under the auspices of the Negro Civic and Industrial League of Nebraska, a public, informal reception will be given in the Council Chamber of the City Hall next Wednesday night for the purpose of giving our citizens the opportunity of congratulating the officers who have just received their commissions at DesMoines and for bidding Godspeed to the consecrated men who are leaving for Camp Funston at Fort Reilly, Kansas. It is planned to make this as democratic an affair as possible, and for this reason the Council Chamber where everybody will feel free to go has been secured. There will be speeches and music and the public is cordially invited to attend this patriotic meeting. BALTIMORE LAUNCHES COLORED DAILY Baltimore, Md.—The Daily Herald made its initial appearance Monday, October 8. Its salutatory stated that it would be an afternoon newspaper devoted to the interests of the race. It has four pages and is the only Negro daily published in the country at this time. W. T. Andrews, formerly of Sumter, S. C., is the leading spirit in the enterprise. WIN SHOULDER STRAPS HOME ON FURLOUGH Lieut. Harrison J. Pinkett, Amos B. Madison and Edward Turner, who received their commissions at the officers' training camp at Fort Des-Moines and have been assigned to duty at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, where they report November 1st, are home on furlough. They are all looking fine and feeling well. They wear their uniforms with unconscious grace and carry themselves like veterans. They are receiving the well-merited congratulations of their friends. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, OCTOBER 20, 1917 The Negro Soldiers' Valorous Part In America's Wars They Have Been Eager Volunteers and Brave Fighters from the Revolution Until Today; Only Two Isolated Blots Were the Outbreaks at Brownsville and Houston. Colored Officers Get Commissions More Than Six Hundred Men, After Four Months of Intensive Training, Receive Shoulder Straps. NEBRASKANS HOLD RECORD Entire State Quota Secures Commissions. Nebraskans Are Assigned to Camp Dodge. (Special to The Monitor.) Des Moines, Ia.—Nebraskan hold the record among the six hundred and twenty-four men who were given commissions here, Monday, October 15, after four months of training. It was the only state represented in which the entire quota received commissions. Nebraska's allotment was only five men, but other states had equally as small quotas, and some even smaller, but Nebraska was the only one that made one hundred per cent. Iowa's quota was was seven men, and five of the seven were commissioned. California's allotment and percentage was about the same as that of Iowa. Kansas made a good showing, but Nebraska beat them all. Nebraska may also claim with justice, Clyde G. Brannon, of Fremont, who was accredited to the Howard University contingent, and S. Harris Dorsey, of the Twenty-fifth infantry. The five men assigned from Nebraska were H. J. Pinkett, Will N. Johnson, Dr. W. W. Peebles, Amos B. Madison and Edward Turner, all of Omaha. All of these were commissioned as first lieutenants, except Johnson, who was made second lieutenant. Those who claim to know, say that he who was a former football star on the Nebraska university eleven was slated for a captaincy, but that some breach of discipline caused him to lose out. He has the military and The Negro Soldier Part I They Have Been Eager Volunt the Revolution Until Today Were the Outbreaks at B (Confirmued from Last Week.) "General Orders," published near Santiago on Aug. 11, 1898, contained the following words direct to the Twenty-fifth: "Seldom have troops been called upon to face a severer fire, and never have they acquitted themselves better." The late General Joseph Wheeler, ex-Confederate, one of the commanders in the Cuban campaign, in writing an introduction for Herschel V. Cashin's book, "Under Fire with the Tenth United States Cavalry," paid this tribute to the Negro soldiers who took part in the battle of San Juan Hill: "With unfaltering courage and devotion they took part in the heroic charge of the cavalry at Los Quassimas, and after that gallant fight moved steadily forward with the cavalry division, forded the San Juan River, and captured the formidable intrenchments of the Spaniards, driving back the astonished enemy, fighting by day and working by night, until glorious victory crowned their efforts and peace once more dawned upon our beloved country." Thus runs the story of our soldiers in black—praised for their bravery by General George Washington, General Andrew Jackson and General Benjamin Harrison in the first conflicts with a foreign foe; honored for their loyalty and intrepid valor by President Abraham Lincoln in the fight for the preservation of the Union, and at the same time blessed by their masters for their unfailing service on the Southern side; and, finally, in our war with Spain in 1898, credited equally with their white comrades for their unwavering courage under a murderous fire. There was, until the recent outbreak at Houston, only one black spot on their record—Brownsville. For more than a century the historian and the military critic had looked in vain for any stain on the history of Uncle Sam's Colored soldiers. But on Dec. 19, 106, President Theodore Roosevelt dismissed nearly all members of Companies B, C, and D of the Twenty-fifth Infantry without honor. intellectual stuff in him, however, and his friends expect to see him rise rapidly in rank. At the close of the camp addresses were made by Brig. Gen. C. C. Ballou, who commanded the camp for the first three months and is exceedingly proud of the splendid record made by the men; by Col. J. E. Hunt, at present in command, and Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the secretary of war. In his address, Mr. Scott complimented the men on their work and said: "We meet today under circumstances of commanding interest and peculiar significance. Never before in the history of the world have men of your birth and traditions had the opportunity of being prepared in the arts of modern warfare in such numbers and of such promise, to go forth as representatives of 10,000,000 of your kind to battle for human freedom and human rights. "In this supreme hour, when the fate of the republic is at stake, your emphasis, I am sure, will be upon duties and responsibilities; will be upon the sacred privileges of serving one's country in her hour of need. You will remember always that you are on trial. It will be for you to prove that the men of your race, when led by competent, efficient and fearless men of the same race, are not afraid to do, to dare, and to die." The commissions were distributed as follows: One hundred and four captains, three hundred and twenty-four first lieutenants and one hundred and ninety-eight second lieutenants. The new officers have been assigned to the various cantonments to train Colored troops and will command the Seventeenth division of the national army which is to be composed of Colored men. The Nebraska men have been assigned to Camp Dodge, where they will report for duty November 1st. On Aug. 13, 1906, about midnight not more than twenty soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, which was then stationed at Brownsville, Texas, leaped over the walls of the barracks and began a mysterious fusilade upon the town. Bullets flew in every direction. A Lieutenant of Police was wounded in the arm, which had to be amputated. A children's party was riddely broken up by rifle balls, which put out the lights. Many homes were riddled with bullets while the inmates slept. It was clearly established that the missles came from the guns used by the army and the affair soon sifted down to the simple question, "Who were the guilty members of the Twenty-fifth Regiment?" To solve this puzzling question, President Roosevelt went to extremes. He sent a commission consisting of Brig. Gen. Ernest A. Garlington of South Carolina, Lieut. Co. Leonard A. Lovering of New Hampshire, and Major Augustus P. Blockson of Ohio to Brownsville, instructing them to apprehend the guilty members of the Colored regiment and bring them to justice through a speedy court-martial. In this the officers were balked by an apparent effort on the part of every member of the Colored regiment to shield the violators. President Roosevelt was criticized in some quarters, the charge being made that he had acted upon the findings of the Inspector General of the Army, (Garlington,) who was a Southern man, and, therefore prejudiced against the Negroes. To this President Roosevelt, in a message to the Senate, replied in his own peculiar way, as follows: "As it happens, the disclosure of the guilt of the troops was made in the report of the officer who comes from Ohio, and the efforts of the officer, who comes from South Carolina was confined to an endeavor to shield the innocent men of the companies in question, if any such there were, by securing information which would enable us adequately to punish the guilty. But I wish it distinctly understood that the fact of the birthplace of either officer is one which I absolutely refuse to consider. The standard of professional honor and loyalty to the flag and the service is Vol. III. No.16 (Whole No.120) the came for all officers and all enlisted men of the United States Army, and I resent with keenest indignation any effort to draw any line among them based upon birthplace, creed, or any other consideration of the kind." President Roosevelt said he had exhausted every effort to ascertain who were the guilty members of the Colored regiment, but finding that they were being protected by their fellows in arms, he would himself, have been guilty of retaining in the service "a body of mutineers and murderers" had he not dismissed the companions in question from the army. He said he recognized the great service the Negro soldiers had rendered the country in the past, but he wanted to impress upon Negro soldiers in the future the lesson of upholding at all times the honor of the army. Race in Kansas City Most Progressive Monitor Representative Gives Readers Interesting Account of His Observations in the City on the Kaw. Kansas City, Oct. 16, 1917. To the Readers of The Monitor: You will note by my last letter that I arrived in Kansas City. I stopped at the Y. M. C. A., an institution that the Colored people of Kansas City should well be proud of. It is a large commodious, comfortable four-storied building with basement, and is complete in every detail. The basement is occupied by the gymnasium, swimming pool and heating plant. On the first, or main, floor by the office, in charge of polite, neat and intelligent secretary, are the barber shop, billiard hall, reading, writing and reception rooms. The upper floors are given over to rooming, except the second. The cafeteria is located here and is a most unique and economical institution. Mr. Harris, the secretary who replaced Mr. De Frantz, is a very agreeable as well as efficient director and meets one in that most affable manner and way which some men have and which makes you feel that he has always been your friend. I have tramped all over the city meeting men in business and professional men and Kansas City has quite a number of them. To attempt to name them would occupy too much space, but I will say that I was greatly impressed with the progress the race is making here. The schools and churches are largely attended; the fraternal organizations and auxiliaries have a large membership. The knowledge of business and the advantage of investment is steadily increasing. Kansas City real estate men, that is of the race, are all wearing broad smiles, as the new residents from the southland are arriving daily in large numbers and they have brought their money with them and are willing to buy. Well, you know they are buying, that accounts for the smiles of the real estate men. Kansas City seems to be the Mecca of the travelers from the south and it bids fair to become the goal of opportunity for the Negro to the western business world. I leave for Excelsior Springs, Mo., Lawrence and Leavenworth, Kansas, in the morning. Until next week, I am. Traveling Representative for The Monitor. Editor's Note: It will be of interest to Monitor readers to know that Mr. Fred C. Williams, who is the traveling representative of The Monitor, is blind. Despite this handicap, he refuses to be dependent, and with commendable courage and an optimism which is contagious, he goes on his way earning his living. His articles will, we are quite sure, be read with marked appreciation.

The two thousand members of the regiment subscribed $45,000 last Thursday and are after more subscriptions. COLORED SOLDIERS BUY LIBERTY BONDS El Paso, Tex.—Colored soldiers at Fort Bliss have subscribed $100,000 to the Second Liberty Loan, according to the local Liberty Loan committee. Lifting Lift, Too! Present Memorial at White House Resolutions of the National Equal Rights Convention Held in New York City Go to President Wilson. Washington, D. C.—Tuesday afternoon, October 2, a large delegation of Colored citizens called at the White House, and delivered to Secy. Tumulty the following resolutions adopted at the tenth annual meeting of the National Equal Rights League, held in New York City, Sept. 18-20 with the request that it be given to the President for his careful perusal. The resolutions presented by this delegation marshalled under the auspices of the District of Columbia branch of the league with Mr. Maurice W. Spencer as spokesman read as follows: The War—President Wilson and the Kaiser. The National Equal Rights League congratulates the nation upon the fact that the basic principles of the government, human equality and human freedom, have been applied with increasing comprehensiveness to those races which make up seven-eighths of our population; and it declares that the increasing withdrawal of these principles from the other eighth of the population is a challenge of the patriotism of our governmental administration and of our fellow white Americans. Demands Made Upon President Wilson The legalized killing which is called war always requires justification. When national self preservation is not pleaded, only moral principles and equity can be. The entrance therefore of the U. S. A. offensively into the most terrible war in history and one in the other hemisphere, can be justified only by vouchsafing freedom and equality of rights to all citizens of the United States regardless of the incidents of race or color over which they have no control. Likewise all true patriots should lay aside hatred and discrimination against fellow Americans. Now comes the President of the United States and declares officially to the world that this government takes part in the European war to promote World Democracy and World Humanity. He tells the new army raised specifically to make the world "Safe for Democracy" that this war "draws us all closer together in human brotherhood as did the Revolutionary War for American Independence." Hence, in view of his own words and of this war, we do now call upon President Wilson to abolish that essential violation of democracy, race segregation of government clerks and to recommend to Congress the enactment of laws; (a) To enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments of the Constitution which forbid peonage and disfranchisement, thereby restoring to millions of Americans their civil and political rights; (b) To make lynching a federal crime; (c) To forbid segregation for race in interstate travel in federal territory. Segregation in Army Not Democracy. Colored Americans demand only that the "rights of free peoples and the common rights of mankind" which this government proclaims for Europe be also in the possession at home of all our citizens subject to risk or suffer disease and death in carrying this cause to these foreign nations. We believe in democracy. We hold that this nation should enter the lists with clean hands, and that in this formation of a new army, in the absence of any law compelling race distinction, the exclusion of Colored Americans from Officer Training Schools, from camps and cantonments with the rest is a betrayal of the cause of democracy, and is causing fresh contempt and persecution. We demand equality of rights for all in all departments of the government. No Success Without Justice. All patriotic Americans must be alarmed that with the country at war, American citizens are burned at the stake by mobs, are massacred because they work for a living, are beaten and assaulted. All should unite against the tyranny of mobs and of labor organizations. Until the right of trial for crime is secure, until the right of travel, to work and to vote is free to all citizens alike, our country can not expect or deserve success in this war, or the favor and blessing of Almighty God. Of course it pays to advertise in The Monitor. It is the only newspaper published in the interests of the Colored people in Nebraska.

GIVE US A COLORED COMMANDER FOR COLORED TROOPS. OUR LOYALTY AND SERVICE MERIT THIS RECOGNITION. 2 CONGRATULATIONS The Monitor desires on behalf of the race in Omaha to extend hearty and sincere congratulations to Lieutenants Will N. Johnson, Amos B. Madison, William W. Peebles, Harrison J. Pinkett and Edward Turner on the splendid records they made at Fort Des Moines. Nebraska is the only state, we believe, whose candidates for commissions scored one hundred per cent. Nebraska had five candidates and every one of them won his commission. It is a record to be proud of. Moreover, the two other Nebraska men, Clyde Brannon of Fremont, who was accredited to Howard university contingent, where he was a student and S. Harris Dorsey, who went from the Twenty-fifth, who were at the camp, also won their commissions. Nebraska can therefore really claim seven candidates and every one scored. Gentlemen, we are proud of you. Accept our congratulations. We believe that in the equally difficult task which lies before you in the coming months, you will do your level best to prove yourselves officers and gentlemen of the first rank and to maintain the record you have made in training. We confidently expect to learn of your promotion to higher rank as the war continues. We know that every man of you will strive to do your full duty. Congratulations and thanks, gentlemen, for the work you have done, and the honor which you have not only won for yourselves, but for the unique distinction you have conferred upon the state of Nebraska. TURN OUT AND HONOR THEM The Negro Civic and Industrial League is to be congratulated upon its initiative in arranging for a public reception for the newly commissioned officers and the conscriptioned men who are to leave within a few days to serve the colors. In every other city, of any size throughout the country, our people have taken similar action and it is fitting that Omaha should do the same. It is quite proper that as these men are citizens of Omaha and go as the representatives of the city and state that such a public meeting as that proposed should be held in one of the city's public buildings, where all classes will feel perfectly free to go. Let us all turn out and honor our soldier boys. Let us give them a rousing send off and let them know that our hearts and hands are with them. This is not to be a select social function but a public patriotic meeting which everybody should attend. Turn out, turn out and honor them, who go to fight for us and for world democracy. WATCH IT GROW Those Mississippi farmers who have formed an organization to promote thrift and have made one of the conditions for membership the possession of a bank book showing a deposit of at least $1.00, and a pledge to increase it at the rate of 25 cents a week, are on the right track. They have made the conditions so reasonable that any one can become a member and the probability is that every one who starts with $1.00 will be anxious and ambitious to see it grow. People may smile at a bank account of $1.00; but the man or woman who starts saving $1.00 has laid the foundation of his fortune, while the man who waits until he has saved "something worth while" before he will start a bank account, seldom saves anything. Saving the first dollar counts. The next important thing is to add a little to it regularly. By the way, can you show a bank book with $1.00 to your credit? Are you adding as much as 25 cents a week to it? Better begin then. "Only 25 cents a week?" Yes, but do it, and watch it grow. SIDE BY SIDE It is gratifying to note how many of our race and of the other races work side by side without strife or friction in the erection of buildings and in local industrial plants. This is as it should be. Why should there be strife? Why should not men, as men work side by side, each respecting and helping the other? HELP THE RED CROSS Mrs. Isaac Bailey, president of Crispus Attucks Chapter of the Red Cross, is quite anxious that our people should contribute more generously to this work. There are expenses connected with the work which have to be provided for. The ministers of our several churches are to be requested to take up a special offering or collection for this work on the last Sunday in October. All should respond. PAYMENT OF BONDS A purchaser may pay in full for his bonds at the time of asking his application or, if he so prefers, he can take advantage of the installment plan and pay 2 per cent on application, 18 per cent on November 15, 1917, 40 per cent on December 15, 1917, and the remaining 40 per cent on January 15, 1918. Although so far as the Government is concerned the purchase price for the bonds must be paid as above, nearly every bank in the country will make arrangements by which Liberty Loan Bonds can be paid on an installment plan providing for weekly or monthly payments, and a great many employers will make the same arrangements for their employees. Payment can be made to the Treasury Department or to any one of the Federal Reserve Banks, but purchasers are urged to make their payments to the banks or other agencies with whom they placed their subscriptions.

Sworn to and subscribed before me this 15th day of October. 1917. Good morals means happiness and good health. We as a people should cultivate good morals. THE MONITOR Obvious Observations The average citizen gets as much news about the war as a husband gets from his wife when he asks her about a man he thinks she's flirting with. You don't need a million to become a money lender. With a dollar at a time you can buy a Liberty Bond and make one of the greatest nations on earth owe you something. Have you glimmed the new Cullud ossifers, Clarice? Some pumpkins among a mess of peas, eh? Omaha seems to be a pretty clean city until the wind starts blowing. After the White Sox cleanup, Chicago got such a strenuous case of bulging bean that a tapping is momentarily expected. Get up your storm doors and windows. Don't wait until that zero breeze catches you amidships. Some folks declare that spuds would be fifty cents per at harvest time. Any listeners to that noise who are sticking around to watch for the drop had better get busy. It is a pity that 10,000 cattle were burned in Kansas City stock yards, but one thing certain is that there ought to be an over supply of roast beef around Kaw City. By the way, did I understand you to say that you wanted to pay up that subscription? Thanking you for your careless attention, we will now scrape together a few small change and buy a Liberty Bond. SKITS OF SOLOMON The Liberty Loan, my son, is a loan which the citizens of the U. S. A. are putting across in order to prove to der Kaiser that his place in the sun which he was talking about is only a pipe dream. War requires mazuma, much mazuma; in fact, more mazuma than anything else. Uncle Sam is playing papa to something like a million, and any papa who has four or five chips of the old block to look out for can sympathize with Unk. A few millions suits of clothes, shoes, hats, caps, overcoats, gloves, underwear, socks, guns, tents, ammunitions, eats, and sundry other millions of things can't be bought with an anaemic bank account. This is the second Liberty Loan. Unk went through the first one like the White Sox went through the Giants and he intends to go through the second one with the same animation. The Kaiser has borrowed so much from his folks that it keeps him hot footing it to dodge the bank examiners. It wouldn't do the bank examiners any good to try to examine anything, because there is nothing to examine. Willy has salted all his loose nickels to buy suds when he and Nick Romanoff will be playing whist somewhere in Siberia. But back to the Liberty Loan. Buy one. It doesn't take much and it helps a heap. It shows you've got some regard for your country, and the boys in the trenches. We've got to count ten over the groggy Kaiser and your mite will help to put a rainbow around his oculars. Pass up single file and decorate the mahogany with some simoleons and some paper with your John Henry. MISSISSIPPIANS ORGANIZE BANKING UNION A Unique Organization is Formed for the Encouragement of Thrift and Industry. Houlka, Miss.—Originating at Houlka, a banking union has been organized by Negroes of Mississippi. The object is to encourage larger production and conservation on Negro farms. The rule of "bank book ownership" is original with the members of this organization and provides that every member must have at least $1 to his credit in one of the Mississippi banks and must add a minimum amount of 25 cents to his balance each week, or the sum of $1 a month. If these conditions are not complied with the name of the member is dropped from the roll. To remain a member in good standing, each man must increase his bank balance every year. The dues for a year's membership amount to 25 cents. Prizes are offered for industry in raising and selling produce and in saving money. CRISPUS ATTUCKS CHAPTER OF THE RED CROSS The Colored women of Omaha who are actively engaged in Red Cross work have very appropriately named their organization the Crispus Attucks chapter of the Red Cross. A largely attended meeting was held Tuesday afternoon in the parlors of Grove M. E. church, and a good deal of work was accomplished in making hot water bags. The chapter has decided to hold meetings hereafter until further notice every Tuesday afternoon at the N. W. C. A. home on Pinkney street. All women are invited to join in this Red Cross work. Always be a gentleman. Our Women and Children The movement in Omaha to protect, to safeguard young girls from the evils and temptations of the street is most highly commendable. Preventive work rather than remedial work, important as this latter may be, is being more and more rightly emphasized. It is not that the remedy for social ills is of less importance, but that the suggestions for the prevention of these ills is of more importance. In the majority of cases family conditions are abnormal. The home life is in need of reform and the parents often need their duties outlined. Bringing the subject home—our editor some weeks ago wrote of the menace of our young people, especially of very young girls, "hanging out" on North Twenty-fourth street until late hours at night. Now parents are directly, almost wholly, responsible for this condition. Parents should satisfy themselves that their girl or boy is not found there and the only way to accomplish this, is to go and see for yourself. Make every effort to save the children. Spend your dollars and time for prevention; it is so much easier, so much better to prevent than to reform. Thousands of dollars are spent in picking up and patching up. We will take a forward stride when we are able to invest for preventive purposes much of the time and money spent for remedial.

It is often times said that the trav- eler sees and hears strange things, so it is good to travel. As you cannot very conveniently leave home, follow me thorugh the pages of the Mon- itor and I will describe the things to you I have seen and heard. St. Joe, Mo., proudly boasts of the possession of a dog who is a moving picture fan. He is the property of James, the little seven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. James Saunders, 214 Francis street, and the grandson of Charles Phelps, the owner of the Dudley theatre, where Speck, that is the dog’s name, and his little mas- ter are seen nightly. Speck has taken possession of a seat in the back row on the aisle which he claims as 11is own and if some stranger happens to stop there and occupy the same be- fore Speck arrives, he runs up and down the aisle barking loudly until some of the attendants come to his rescue and secures him his usual seat. He enjoys the pictures as well almost ‘as a person, showing his pleasure or disapproval by the tone or manner of his bark. When a dog appears in the picture Speck usually barks loud- ly and seemingly with joy. When the scene denicts shooting or a rough and tumble fight Speck growls his dis- approval. Love scenes seem to please him most, and when two people are seen cuddling close and kissing Speck gives vent to a pleasing whine, and people who have watched him closely, say they have seen him wink and nod his head in a knowing manner.
