Growing, Thank You! $1.50 a Year. 5c a Copy Controls Millions In Real Estate New York's FIRST Apartment Houses For Colleagues in Hands of Mass. Its Man. WALT TERRY IS N. WEALTHY Began Life at Broton, Mass., With Fifteen Cents. Now America's Largest Colored Real Estate "New York.—The six largest and finest apartment houses in the world occupied by Colored people, the Washington, Douglas, Dunbar, Wheatley, Toussaint and Attucks Courts, are now filled up with a waiting list. This is the startling announcement that has been flashed through the real estate circles of the metropolis that has caused the staid and successful real estate dealers of the city, white and black, to start up and rub their eyes. 1446 Rooms. This is the accomplishment of Walt Terry, the young and genial real estate genius from Brockton, Mass., within a period of three weeks. Nor does this quite complete the story. The three hundred and six apartments containing 1,466 rooms, which have to be seen to be appreciated, and which are the last word in apartment house appointments, within and without, have been filled with first class Colored tenants each of whom could, or perhaps better, did exchange references with the landlord. The 6-story and basement, pressed brick, sandstone-trimmed, electrically lighted elevator apartments were purchased by Messrs. Watt Terry, E. C. Brown, of Philadelphia, and W. H. C. Brown, of Washington, about September 15, from the Philton Holding Company. On September 20 Mr. Terry took over the interests of his associates and became sole landlord. He immediately announced on hand bills thrown away by the thousands and the New York News that the rents were reduced. At that time about one-third of the apartments had been let. Despite the fact that at least ten other large white apartment houses adjoining on Lenox avenue had opened their houses to Colored immediately after the late Philip A. Payton had taken over the houses, and despite their frantic efforts to fill their houses, there was a rush for the Watt Terry houses by respectable Colored tenants, such as New York had never seen before. Mess Man's New Policy Startles City. Mr. Terry brought something new in the nature of his methods to this great new venture. He first of all resolved to fill his apartments at the same rentals that Caucasians had been paying and are paying in the neighborhood. He figured not as a matter of sentiment and race help, but as a matter of business that he would make more money if he got them and kept them filled at these figures than if he slowly half-filled his at rents above the ability of his clients to pay. Secondly, he introduced a courteous, considerate method of handling his tenants and yet with despatch, such as Colored tenants have not known here so much before. His personal attention has been given hours each day to his prospective tenants. His policy has triumphed. Property Worth Over Two Millions. Mr. Terry for years, it is learned from an authoritative source, has been for several years the third largest taxpayer in Brockton, Mass. The largest taxpayer there is ex-Governor William L. Douglas, the famous shoe manufacturer, beside whose mansion is the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Terry. All of his Brockton properties, and they include the finest there, are tenanted by Caucasians. These properties together with the six New York apartments, are valued at much more than two million of dollars. A Square Deal to All. To the surprise of The News reporter when he called at the New York office of Mr. Terry, he found the steam even at this early and unprecedented date in October, radiating heat and comfort to his hundreds of tenants. Upon asking Mr. Terry if he intended to do these unheard of things, he said, "I intend to give a square deal to the people of New York. That is my motto." Meteoric Rise. From a distinguished clergyman of THE MONITOR this city it it was learned that when Terry reached Brockton, Mass., a mere boy, he had 15 cents in his pockets, no friends and little education. He came from his birthplace, Mecklinburg County, Va., where his relatives still live. He soon secured however a job as coachman and began to improve his neglected education. Sober, religious, industrious and efficient, he found instant favor and grew in popularity and in the confidence of the Puritan people daily. World's Largest Real Estate Operator. He soon became a janitor in the Y. M. C. A., where he studied at odd times and in his few leisure moments. He became in time a shoe operator in a local factory. All this time, too, young Terry was not only making powerful friends, but was sacrificing his pleasures and saving his hard earnings. Twelve years ago he had a sufficient modicum of both to venture in the real estate business. His rise since has been continuous and meteoric. Today at thirty-five he is the world's largest Colored real estate operator. He is destined at the sure but rapid rate at which he is forging ahead now to become at no distant date, one of the great real estate magnates of America.—The New York News. Federal Food Admisistrator For Nebraska G. W. Wattles, Food Administrator. BIG FOOD PLEDGE CARD CAMPAIGN ON IN FORCE Nebraska's big drive for the enrollment of every true American in the food administration is on in full force this week and next, with the clean-up campaign next week. While the official campaign is set for next week; Nebraska's drive started this week through the teachers of the state, some fifteen thousand. This action was necessitated because of the possibility of many schools being dismissed next week, in response to Governor Neville's request. Much interest is being manifested in the food card pledge and signed cards are continually pouring into the office of Food Administrator Wattles. Mr. Wattles is quite optimistic and believes Nebraska will sign up ninety per cent strong. The campaign will be finished next week. If you haven't signed your card, DO IT NOW. If you haven't received a card, ask your public school teacher for one. She will supply you. Food will win this war, and it's up to the housewives to do the saving. This conservation does not mean eating less, but it means eating more wisely and the substitution of foods for meats and sugar. And, when you sign a pledge card you agree to assist, as far as your circumstances permit, in aiding in saving and substitution. This pledge does not bind you to anything save what your conscience tells you you should do. Sign your card right now. This is the time and the place. Do it now. TO HELP BURY THE "KAISAHS" A Negro Mammy Bought Bonds With Her "Funeral Money." (From the St. Louis Republic.) A mammy of the Sunny South entered the St. Louis Union Bank the other day and tottered to George M. Willing, and placed on his desk a bulky package in newspaper wrapping. "Mah name is Julia Morgan," she told Willing. "I's been a savin' this heath money to bury me. But I'm done read so much about them kaishas in Germany an' I done made up mah min' I would use it to help bury them, Youjes' fix me one of them bonds." Willing removed the newspaper wrappings and inside found an old stocking which contained $50 in quarters and half dollars. "I suah do want them burried an' I'm sorry I kaint go to the funeral. Willing gave her a bond certificate. PATRIOTIC ACT OF PYTHIAN LODGE New Rochelle, N. Y.—At a regular meeting of Douglas Lodge, No. 18, Knights of Pythias, held October 2, it was voted to exempt all members from dues who are drafted to become members of the National Army. It was also voted to purchase $200 worth of Liberty Bonds. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, OCTOBER 27, 1917 Citizens Honor Officers and Conscripted Men Council Chamber Crowded to Overflowing at a Patriotic Meeting to Congratulate Commissioned Officers and Bid Godspeed to Conscripts. If there ever was a doubt in the minds of the people that Omaha is proud of the men of our race who won commissions at Fort Des Moines and of the men who have been conscripted by the selective draft for the national army, it was removed by the enthusiastic patriotic meeting and informal reception held in the Council Chamber under the auspices of the Negro Civic and Industrial League of Nebraska Wednesday night. that the Negro had played an important part in the history of this continent for more than four hundred years in the fight for human liberty. After a selection by the band, Robt. Cowell, vice-president of the Thomas Kilpatrick company, and one of Omaha's foremost and most public-spirited citizens, was introduced and in an address of surpassing eloquence and the most convincing sincerity congratulated the officers and men called to The spacious Council Chamber was crowded to overflowing by a representative audience. Amos P. Scruggs, president of the league, presided. On the platform with him were seated Mayor James C. Dahlman, Robert Cowell, Capt. Rucker, Lieutenants Pinkett, Turner, Barrows and Bundrant, Sergt. Joseph Carr, retired, Messrs. H. W. Black, M. F. Singleton and the Rev. Jno. Albert Williams. The conscripted men occupied reserved seats in the center of the hall, and a detachment of white soldiers from the local department occupied seats to the left of the drafted men. The First Regimental Band K. P., under the leadership of J. N. Thomas, had seats to the left of the speakers' platform, and as usual stirred the audience to enthusiasm with their splendid music. The only adverse criticism of the band, which was indeed a compliment, was expressed by a boy of twelve years of age, who said: "Pshaw, they didn't let the band play half often enough!" After several selections by the band the meeting was called to order by Chairman Scruggs. A brief invocation was offered by Father Williams, rector of the Church of St. Philip the Deacon. Led by the band the great audience sang "America," after which the chairman in well chosen words stated the object of the meeting and introduced Mrs. Alphonso Wilson, who recited with telling effect "The Black Regiment." The chairman then introduced as the first speaker of the evening Mayor Dahlman, who in his usual happy vein, spoke of Omaha's pride in the officers who had been commissioned and the men who were going forth to help lift civilization higher. Sergt. Joseph Carr gave a thoughtful address in which he maintained Liberty Loan a Dike Against Autocracy By Hon. Willard Saulsbury, of Delaware, President pro tempore of the United States Senate. The most impressive patriotic picture I have ever seen is a poster by a great French artist advertising the war bonds of his country. A wounded soldier just from the hospital is shown watching men and women paying their savings to the Government for these bonds, and the soldier says: "They also do their part." A Frenchman told me the story of a sweet-faced old woman when the call came for the people to turn in their gold for the prosecution of the war. A few hundred francs in gold were the savings of her life. She sent them to the Government official to be used in prosecuting the war. These few hundred francs represented her only hope of comfort in extreme old age. She had grandchildren at the front. When the official, upon receiving the money, gave her a Government bond, she said: "I didn't know I was to receive anything for it." The free peoples of the earth have built a dike across Belgium and northern France with the bodies of their young men of military age. It restrains the ungoverned lust for power, prestige, and territory of what the world has termed the "Royal house of Hohenzollern." If that dike breaks America is not safe. We are fighting in the cause of humanity, to make the world safe for democracy, and also we are fighting for the right to live peacefully in America, unterrified by passions which should only animate wild beasts. Our own boys will soon be making the dike stronger. The front waves of that the Negro had played an important part in the history of this continent for more than four hundred years in the fight for human liberty. After a selection by the band, Robt. Cowell, vice-president of the Thomas Kilpatrick company, and one of Omaha's foremost and most public-spirited citizens, was introduced and in an address of surpassing eloquence and the most convincing sincerity congratulated the officers and men called to the colors and gave advice which will always be remembered by those who heard him. He said the eyes of the world in this war will be on the Negro as never before and he must be able to stand this scrutiny. He urged the necessity of purity and morality upon the part of all who will be exposed to temptation and stressed the fact that character is what counts. Mrs. Maud Brown then delighted the audience with a splendid rendition of Dunbar's "Why Lucinda Backsild." She was followed by Lieut. Harrison J. Pinkett, who gave an admirable address on experiences at Des Moines, in which he took occasion to give timely advice to the conscripted men, stating that it is up to the Negro soldiers and officers to make good in the present great world war. He also urged men to enlist for the stevedore regiment which is being recruited. This is a most important arm of the service. Maynard L. Wilson read "The Colored Soldiers," by Dunbar, after which Wynn D. McCullough, who holds draft number 258, and was the first man to be called, in brief well-chosen words, gave assurance to the audience that he and his comrades who had been called would strive to do their full duty and bring honor to Nebraska. Rev. John Albert Williams read a letter from Major Frith, who certified the officers from Omaha, complimenting them on the record made. Led by the band, the audience sang "The Star-Spangled Banner," and this great patriotic meeting, which will be a pleasant memory to the men who have been honored by the call to service for their country, closed. It was the greatest popular demonstration ever held by our race in Omaha. Prussian militarism grow less threatening. The French have held, the British are attacking, we must help. Lafayette's great-grandons are on the fighting line. Pershing, saluting at the tomb of Lafayette, said in simplest words: "Lafayette, we Americans are here!" The American great-grandons of Lafayette's friends will soon be in that line. They must have all the comforts, they shall have all the comforts, that we can give, and by swift and hard endeavor we must convince our foes that they nuts lose, saving the boys for America, it may be, in hundreds of thousands. The money those of us unfit for military service contribute will make the boys at the front more comfortable, may save their lives. Government bonds are the safest security for people's savings. The interest rates are fair, and profits not needed to keep business active should be invested in them. Patriotism and sagacity combine in recommending the new issue of Liberty Bonds. TWENTY-FOUR LABOR COMPANIES TO BE ORGANIZED Washington, D. C.—Army orders authorized immediate organization of twenty-four labor companies "by voluntary enrollment of conscripted Colored men after their mobilization," or, if sufficient men are not obtained in this way, by voluntary enlistment of Negroes. Each company will have four white officers, a captain, two first lieutenants and a second lieutenant and two hundred enlisted men. Negro noncommissioned officers will be obtained by transferring qualified men from the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry of the regular army. Vol. III. No. 17 (Whole No. 121) Stokes Not to Head Hampton Secretary of Yale College Declines Call of South to Work on Colored Problem. New Haven, Conn.—The Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes, secretary of Yale University, has declined the call to become the principal of Hampton Institute, succeeding the late Dr. Frissell, it was announced here Oct. 16th by ex-President William H. Taft, as chairman of the board of trustees. In a letter to Mr. Taft, Secretary Stokes said that the opportunity to advance the interests of the Colored people and to contribute something to the solution of the race problem appealed to him profoundly, but he felt it to be his duty and privilege to continue to devote his strength at least during the remainder of President Hadley's administration, to the building up of a great national university at Yale. FIGHTING TENTH SUBSCRIBING LIBERALLY Have Raised One Hundred and Twenty Thousand Dollars. Are Contesting for a Cup. Fort Huachuca, Ariz., Oct. 18, '17. Editor Monitor: The second Liberty Loan campaign opened in the Tenth Cavalry Post on the 7th inst, and since then we have had several meetings, all of which have been very successful. At the first meeting after listening to some very good speaking by the Chaplain and the district campaign manager and one of the county Judges, the real work of getting subscriptions began. Something over forty-seven thousand dollars was subscribed for in a very short time. On the 13th the second meeting was held. The orator of the day was Mr. Dunseath, an attorney from Tucson, who succeeded in arousing the interest of the men to a high pitch by picturing to them the advantages of buying Liberty Bonds instead of paying unreasonable prices for a bottle of poison disguised as whiskey and throwing their money away on other things equally as bad and useless. The men all seemed to have considered it good advice. He also offered a cup to the Troop turning in the largest subscription. Each troop seemed to be determined to win the cup. K troop was in the lead at the close of day with twelve thousand dollars; F troop was second, with eleven thousand nine hundred and fifty. As the contest doesn't close until the 25th, I am unable to say who will win. At the present time the regiment has subscribed $119,200, being second in this division. The men all consider it a good investment as well as a chance to show the world that the Filigiting Tenth is there with the goods when called on to do a thing, whether it is to give our money or our lives. The cause for which we entered the fight is worthy of the entire race's best effort and it will not fail, for we are going to stick until the finish. We are watching the race. We expect you to do your best. Will let you know the final results. Yours for success, HOWELL W, STRICKLAND, Troop F, Tenth Cav. Jersey City, N. J.—In the formation of the new State Militia, Gov. Walter E. Edge of New Jersey, has recognized the loyal Colored citizens by mustering in two Colored companies, one in Jersey City and one in Atlantic City. The State Militia takes the place of the National Guard which has been federalized. This is the first time in the history of the state that the Colored people have been represented in the military affairs of the State. GEORGIANS WANT STATE MILITIA RIGHTS Atlanta, Ga.—An effort is being put forth to have the law disbanding the Colored volunteer militia of the State repealed. A petition has been presented to the Governor and Legislature to that effect signed by well known citizens. Petitioners claim that it is the duty and constitutional right of every male citizen to bear arms in defense of state and nation. Lifting Lift, Too! Colored Citizens Will Participate Students of America Undertake to Raise Million Dollar Fund for Relief of Soldiers. HOLD PREPARATORY MEETINGS Members of Race Active in Association Work With Indian and Negro Troops Abroad and at Cantonments. Washington, D. C.—Under the direction of Channing H. Tobias, secretary of International Committee of Y. M. C. A. for Colored students, assisted by Misses Bowles and Evans, Y. W. C. A. secretaries, the Colored students of America are planning to wage the greatest campaign of sacrificial giving ever entered into by Colored students. To that end two preparatory conferences have been held: One at Hampton, October 12 and 13, and the other at Atlanta, Ga., October 19 and 20. Picked association leaders assembled in these conferences to receive instructions on methods for conducting the local campaigns. The students of America of all races have set themselves to the task of raising $1,000,000 for the relief of men in the prison camps abroad and for the work of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. for the troops at home. This Student Friendship Fund is to supplement the great $35,000,000 fund to be raised by the War Work Council. Colored students everywhere will welcome this opportunity to assist a movement that is doing so much for Negro soldiers in this and other lands. Already five Colored college men have been sent to work with Indian and Negro troops in British East Africa. Still others are to be sent in the near future. A full association staff of five workers will be provided for each of the National Army cantonments. Y. M. C. A. Starts Work at Southern Camps. The association has already begun its work at Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga., and Camp Jackson, Columbia, S.C., to say nothing of the important work that it has been doing at Fort Des Moines and at every national guard camp where Colored men have been placed. The National Board of the Y. W. C. A. has recently assumed a large budget to protect the interests of Colored women living in the vicinity of army camps. In an address on this subject delivered at Hampton Institute last Sunday evening Mr. Tobias gave the following reasons why Colored students should enter enthusiastically into this campaign: 1. Because it is the only way that students who are left behind in the schools and colleges can enter into fellowship with the sufferings with their fellows who are sacrificing life itself. 2. Because it is an opportunity to save life. Dr. John R. Mott, just returned from Russia, estimates that $10 will save the life of one prisoner of war this winter: 3. Because such a demonstration of unselfishness on the part of Negro students will give an added argument to those who are fighting the battle for justice and fair play to the race. 4. Because of the wonderful reflex in spiritual results that will follow such an effort. RHODE ISLAND PEOPLE IN PROTEST PARADE Providence, R. I.-Negroes from various parts of the state paraded the more important streets here October 14, in silent protest against outrages on their race in the South. Many banners called attention to their grievances. In Newport and other out-of-town places church services were suspended so the members might come here to participate in the demonstration. PHYSICIAN APPOINTED SCHOOL INSPECTOR Montgomery, Ala.-For the first time in the history of the public school system, Dr. F. C. Caffey, "a native son," has been appointed as school inspector for the Colored children of the City of Montgomery. The creation of this position and the appointment of a Colored physician is another evidence of the relationship that exists between the races in Montgomery.

GOODBYE, BOYS; GOD BLESS YOU icious act of extending as it has done Today, boys, nearly one hundred of you are leaving us for Camp Funston where you are to be trained for service in the national army. You form the first quota of our race called from Nebraska by selective draft to engage with others in the great international conflict out of which true democracy is to emerge. The issues of the war are clearly defined. You go not for conquest or for spoils, but for the safeguarding of manhood rights throughout the world. You are fighting for principles of liberty and equality in which we all must be sharers. Democracy cannot be advanced in the world unless it is advanced in the United States. And so you will fight to make America more truly democratic where every man irrespective of his race will be given a man's opportunity to develop all his God-given powers. Many of you are Nebraskans by birth, some of you known to us from your earliest childhood. Others of you are Nebraska's sons by adoption; but you are all our boys and we all have special pride and interest in you. We believe that every one of you, realizing the acid test to which our race is now being submitted, will strenuously strive to do his full duty and will do nothing to bring reproach upon your family, race or state. We send you forth with our best wishes and our prayers. We are most solicitous that every one of you will make good. You have splendid traditions to maintain and we know that you will maintain them. Be careful and watchful of your conduct, boys. You will have many temptations to overcome. "Quit you like men, be strong." Omaha has shown you how proud we are of you and what confidence we have in you. You are not going to disappoint us, are you, boys? We expect you to show yourselves Christian gentlemen and Christian soldiers wherever you may be called to serve. You are all going to be in our hearts and in our thoughts and in our prayers. We at home are going to do all we can to supply your needs. Tokens of our love will reach you from parents, loved ones and friends, from time to time to let you know how much we are thinking of you. Good-bye, boys. God bless you, every one, and keep you always in His loving care. This is the heartfelt prayer with which Nebraska sends you forth, as she places her safety, her honor and her reputation in your hands. Good-bye, Boys; our own dear boys God bless you, every one. The name of the Omaha Commercial Club is respected far and near for its thoroughness of method in whatever it undertakes, for its originality, its broad-mindedness, its liberality and progressiveness. These characteristics have made it a tremendous force in winning for our city and state the proud and enviable position they now occupy. Presidents of the United States, representatives from foreign governments and the most distinguished men in the world have been guests of the Omaha Commercial Club and all, without exception, have been outspoken in their praise of its generous open-hearted hospitality, the excellence of its unsurpassed cuisine, and the classicality of the entertainment furnished. Honoring and being honored as the career of this great commercial organization of wide-awake business men has been, in nothing has it rendered more appreciated honor or more highly honored itself than in its gra- 2 Better July 2, 1915, at the Post Office at 3, 1879.

COMMANDER FOR COLORED D SERVICE MERIT THIS REC- cious act of extending as it has done the same generous, open-hearted hospitality to its Colored men of Douglas county conscripted for the national army, as that extended to other citizens called to the colors, by the splendid banquet and entertainment provided for them. Of course, it was the right thing to do; but how seldom is it that either individuals or organizations have the courage to do the right when doing so runs counter to blind prejudice and established customs and usages. The Commercial Club has had the courage to do the right thing in this unprecedented and unparalleled but precedent-making and epoch-marking event. In so doing it has manifested both the highest patriotism and the truest democracy. Its action reflects credit upon the city and state. It will enhearten our men who fare forth to war in a righteous cause and so advance the democracy for which America stands ideally and will ultimately attain. It will be difficult for the members of the Commercial Club to realize how much this event means to the men whom they have thus honored as their guests. It will be difficult for our citizens to realize what an inspiration and uplift this will be for our race throughout the country. The Monitor desires to publicly thank the Commercial Club for its generous and patriotic action in taking the stand that the Colored men who go forth from this community to serve the colors shall receive at the hands of this gerat commercial body the same courtesy, encouragement and treatment as other citizens receive. Such sentiment as this, carried out in the spirit manifested last night, means winning the world for democracy. All honor to the Omaha Commercial club. The calling of so many of our own sons to war must bring home the conviction of the reality and seriousness of the conflict in which we are engaged. The work of the Red Cross, the need for conservation of food, and purchasing of Liberty Bonds must now come home to us all with more appealing force. We are engaged in war. Everyone must do his part to help win this war as speedily as may be. Let us all do our part. FOOD CONSERVATION We wonder if there is any reader of The Monitor who has failed to receive and sign a food conservation pledge card. This is a most important matter. We must save food if we are to supply not only our own needs, but those of our allies. Save food. The Monitor desires to call attention to the fact that the various banks and building and loan associations have provided easy payment plans by which one may purchase Liberty Bonds. It is a good way to begin to save as well as helping the government. Buy bonds. When you purchase Liberty Loan Bonds you do your country good, you do the cause of liberty and justice over the whole world good, you do yourself good, you do harm to the enemies of liberty and justice and civilization, and harm to the enemies of your country.

DO YOUR PART LIBERTY BONDS THE MONITOR Obvious Observations Have you seen our Cullud osifers? No flies on them, are there, Mabel? They are just as handsome as a warm cream browned pie and, believe muh, that's some handsome. Mr. Bill Kaiser is helping himself to all he wants of Russia. He is simply increasing his future pain by having to get rid of useless luggage. Most of us wish this weather would get settled and let us know whether it is to be warm or cold. This flighty thermometer gets on a man's nerves. Blessed is the man who has his storm doors and windows up, his potatoes and cabbage and onions in the bin, his shelves lined with preserves, his shed shiny with coal, and a few beans in the bank. Verily he has a good wife. What's a good dope to take when you feel rotten? Before you answer, remember this is a dry town. One sorry thing about time is that if you get behind it you can never catch up. Wasn't the food show some punkins? But after all, it only thought it was showing us how to cut the high cost of living. Somehow the high cost sticks from center to circumference. Did you gather unto yourself a Liberty Loan? If not, why notest? Apologizing for the above rank literary offering, ye editor will now take a snooze and try to recuperate his good nature. SKITS OF SOLOMON A beauty parlor is a neat looking little shop where one enters with the expectation of coming out looking good. Beauty shops appeal stronger to the female sex than to the foolish sex. The average man, no matter if he has a mug that would scare Vesuvius into an eruption, imagines that he can always go big with the dainty fluffs. He may be wall-eyed, blubber-nosed, valise-cheeked, flap-eared, and greasy-haired, but in his inmost dreams he thinks he has it all over Mr. Beau Brummel. If anybody would suggest a beauty shop to him, he would consider it an affair of honor: Little bunchlets, however, believes in the beauty shop more than she does in the Bible. When she enters the dainty front she will get cold feet if she doesn't see curling irons, steel combs, flat irons, a healthy looking vibrator for wrinkles and sag spots, a wholesome bust producer, a cargo of grease and a mountain of powder. The odor of sweet perfumes, also, must float about, or else she will right about face and beat it. That she comes out looking handsomer than Venus de Milo the night she went to Cleopatra's ball, to give a great boost to the beauty culture game. She doesn't care how long it lasts, because she can always get fixed up again. The only trouble with most of the little bunchlets, however, is that they play the beauty game strong until they hook a sucker and then they forget the shop address. That is just where they should begin to put beauty culture on strong, but no one ever accused a woman of reasoning. She doesn't reason; she talks.

Our Women and Children Conducted by Lucille Skaggs Edwards THE HOME TRAINING OF CHILDREN I have found parents fearful of the influence which non-parental environment might exert upon a son and eager to shield him from its contaminating touch, and I have wished that it might be possible to rescue the child from the environment of the over-solicitous home. Parents sometimes dread the environment of the street for a boy, who is never in greater peril than when he is exposed to the environment of his own home. That quickening of responsibility ought to arise from the consciousness of the inevitableness of ceaselessly molding the life of a child. Precedent to the possibility of training children must come the training of parents, a training which, it may be said in passing, must be achieved chiefly though self-discipline. The father is not to be solely the breadwinner, nor the mother the home-keeper, but both together are above all to be the guardians and educators of their children. Before all eugenics, for without it eugenics cannot be, must come the training of men and women for parenthood. The measure of preparations for parenthood in our day seems in inverse proportion to its paramountcy. One reads of preparations for tennis tournaments and golf matches and base ball games and foot ball contests and rowing regattas, which are speedily becoming alike the classic and the humanities of American colleges, but what college or university even hints at the need of the conscious shaping of one's whole life for fatherhood and motherhood? (From the Ohio State Journal.) And now the leaves are beginning to fall. There is nothing in the world that so reminds us that time is fleeting and ourselves going with it, as the falling leaves. It is really a solemn time for one to see a leaf fluttering down to the ground. It is a reminder that is the way we are going—falling to the ground and soon forgotten. But the thought should be one of hope rather than of despair, for the circumstance should inspire everyone to live a better and truer life, and make the world brighter because the leaves fall. The leaves have done their share in the world's work. They have brought beauty to the woods and fed the fruits and flowers through the summer. They have earned their rest, but they have something else to do, and that is to make music for the footsteps that pass CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP, THE DEACON OMAHA, NEB. By Rabbi Wise.

Not a single pro-German Negro has up to this writing, been found in the United States. To a man they are for Uncle Sam and the United States first, last and all the time.

This company, of which Mr. George F. West, a most excellent gentleman, is president, has in its employ a large number of Colored men as teamsters. Mr. West says that they are a good class of men and are giving good satisfaction. They are anxious to secure moer men of the same type. The company pays good wages and the men are well pleased with the treatment they receive. Here is an excellent opportunity for sober, steady and industrious men to get steady employment at good wages. Mr. Charles Mitchell, who is foreman, says: "The Merchants treats us all fine. It's a pleasure to work for them." begin saving. "There's scarlet all along the sky: The day breaks everywhere." OUR ANNUAL OCTOBER SALE OF Linoleum Monday OCTOBER 29TH An Entire Carload in Excellent Patterns and Colorings. --- John L. Kennedy, lawyer and financier of Omaha, has been appointed Fuel Administrator of Nebraska. His acceptance followed a telegram from Fuel Commissioner Garfield. In his acceptance Mr. Kennedy pointedly stated that he would dischare his duties without fear or favor. "Whether it pleases every one is of little consequence. I will do my duty at this time, because it is every American's duty to serve his country" said the newly appointed administrator. "The problem before me is to get coal into this state in sufficient quantities to supply Nebraska's needs. If the Government gets it into the state, I will see that it is fairly and equitably distributed." "I'm severing my connection with the Liberty Loan campaign so that I can give my full time and attention to the fuel work. With the closing speech at Norfolk last Saturday, Mr. Kennedy said goodbye to his co-workers on the Liberty Loan and assumed active direction of the fuel problems. LEAVENWORTH, KANS. At Bethel A. M. E. Church Wednesday evening one of the most inspiring meetings in the history of Leavenworth was held, whihch called forth over a thousand persons to this meeting. It was to give to the forty-four young men who were drafted and who will entrain Saturday for camp Funston, words of encouragement and wish them Godspeed. Sixty-five dollars was raised in fifteen minutes to equip them with blankets. A banquet was served on the first floor free to all present. Last, but not least, we owe it all to Rev. A. J. Sanders, who was the prime mover and whose untiring efforts made it a success. We were fortunate in having among our own race one man who, I might say, is the back bone of the American army, in that he has coached more men in all branches of the service who has successfully passed for officers, than any other one man. And who is he? Prof. B. K. Bruce. Needless to add that his address was an inspiration to everyone present. Excellent speeches were made by Attorney D. A. Jones, S. T. Jones (who was an officer in the Spanish-American war), Attorney T. W. Bell, Dr. S. N. Jackson, and Congressman D. R. Anthony, Jr. The impression made on the audience was, that we are Americans because we have fought and paid for it with our blood from Crispus Attucks down to Carrizal. VISITS POINTS IN KANSAS To the Readers of The Monitor: Keeping you in touch with my movements: I left Kansas City on Wednesday for Excelsior Springs, Mo. Arrived after a pleasant hour's ride over the Interurban and located the Albany Hotel, where my old friend, Hugh White, holds forth. Found it to be the meeting place of the most prominent members of the race. Succeeded in getting some business and made any number of new friends for the paper. Had dinner with Hugh and returned that same evening, left the following morning, Thursday, for Lawrence, Kansas, well pleased with my visit and the reception accorded me. Lawrence entertained me in the situate manner that well becomes a high brow community, and gave me some business also. Back in Kansas City, Kansas, Friday and Saturday. Worked hard; no results. Spent Sunday in Kansas City, Mo., left for Leavenworth Monday morning. Until next week. Correspondingly yours, FRED C. WILLIAMS. Traveling representative of The Monitor. TWO NEW BUSINESS VENTURES Two well known Colored men have started new business ventures this week. Mr. Frank Douglas, well known Union Pacific veteran, better known as "Doug," as opened a shining parlor at 2414 North 24th street. Doug is an all around good fellow and the prediction is that his corner will become the north end mecca. He will also have several whist tables and have on sale the leading Colored newspapers. Mr. Al Jones has opened a restaurant at 24th and Hamilton. Such a business is always a necessary thing and Mr. Jones' well known ability along culinary lines promises well. We trust that both ventures will grow and develop. A SHORT STORY Mother—What are you doing in that funny dress, dear? Daughter—I am going to the Mask Ball, given by the O. N. E.
