LIFTING
LIF TOO
Republican Candidate Swept Into Office Upon an Unprecedented Tidal Wave of Nebraska Votes.
BRYAN ELECTED GOVERNOR
Endres Defeats Sheriff Clark by
Close Margin; Beal Is High
Man for County Attorney;
Bauman Beats Ure.
Many surprises were revealed in the hotly contested election of Tuesday. Among these were the overwhelming victory of R. Beecher Howell over Senator Hitchock, for the United States Senatorship; the enormous vote given Charles W. Bryan, democratic candidate for governor; and Bauman's unlocked for majority for a county office over William G. Ure, veteran campaigner, for county treasurer. Howell's majority over Hitchock is over 70,000 votes, an unprecedented record in this state. Bryan's majority overtops the 50,000 mark. Bauman beat Ure by over 8,000, which is a democratic record. Sears, republican, defeats Hanley for congress by a handsome majority. Beal, republican, defeats Magney for county attorney, and leads the county ticket. The fiercest fight centered around the office of sheriff. This was a battle royal in which Endres, democrat, defeats Mike Clark, the republican incumbent for the past eight years, by less than 400 votes. The legislature will be mixed with the republicans in control. In Douglas county with few exceptions, the successful candidates for the legislature and senate were elected by majorities considerably under fifty, several being less than twenty, showing how close the election was, and pointing out how valuable and important a few votes may prove in determining success or defeat. The only democrat who pulled through on the state ticket with Bryan, was Charles W. Pool, for secretary of state, and it is worthy of note that he carried a half page advertisement in the last issue of The Monitor. Prospective candidates, please take notice.
An unusual feature of this election was the number of colored men and women who were active workers at the polls for democratic candidates. This is the first time in the history of this city that this has occurred. There can be no question that this unusual feature of this campaign contributed largely to the success of such candidates.

High School Athlete Wins Heart of
Sarah Rector, Richest Colored
Girl in the World.
Lawrence, Kans., Nov. 10.—The
community has just recently learned
of the marriage of Miss Sarah Rector,
reputed to be the richest colored girl
in America, and Kenneth Campbell,
crack high school athlete and winner
of a scholarship to Lincoln University.
Miss Rector will be remembered as
being amongst the first of the colored
Oklahoma oil land owners. Her
transformation from a poor farm girl
to a possessor of great wealth has
surrounded her name with romance.
Following the hard fight she made
in getting her fortune out of the
hands of the Oklahoma white oil
sharks, Miss Rector moved north.
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell will make
their home at their beautiful residence
at Lawrence, Kansas.
ADDRESSES EPWORTH LEAGUE
McCABE METHODIST CHURCH
The Rev. John Albert Williams, pastor of St. Philip's Episcopal church, delivered an address Sunday afternoon before the Epworth League of the McCabe Methodist Church, Forty-first and Harney. This enterprising organization which consists of earnest and alert young people have been studying as a mission class for several weeks the Negro in the United States, and frankly confess that they have learned many things about the so-called race problem in America which have opened their eyes. Under their broad-minded and able young pastor, the Rev. E Lamont Geissinger, these earnest Christian young people are broadening their vision and enlarging their sympathy for all mankind. Herman Crowell is president of the League.
THE MOSAIC TEMPLARS
MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN
The Mosaic Templars of America, one of the most powerful organizations of our group in this country, is making a drive for new members. This campaign concludes the latter part of December. The local lodge is exceedingly active and it is believed that no city or state will show a larger percentage of increase than Omaha and Nebraska. Monday night at Pleasant Green Baptist church, Twenty-second and Paul streets, a public meeting will be held by the Mosaics, with speeches by members of the order. A large enrollment is anticipated. Rev. D. M. McQueen, state grandmaster will preside.
INVITE PROMINENT MEMBERS OF RACE TO VISIT ISLAND
Vocational Education and General Industrial Survey Planned By the Haitian Government.
QUALIFIED FOR THE MISSION
Special to The Monitor by Walter J. Singleton.
Washington, D. C., November 10.
—President Borno of the Republic of Haiti, has invited Professor W. T. B. Williams, and Mr. Robert Church to proceed to that country on important missions, respectively.
Prof. Williams is to investigate the possibilities of establishing a system of vocational schools similar to that of Tuskegee Institute. Prof. Williams' selection for this work is a happy one. He is a graduate of Hampton Institute, Phillip's Academy and was graduated, with marked distinction, from Harvard University in the class of 1897. He went from Hampton to Tuskegee when Doctor Moton was selected to succeed the late Doctor Booker T. Washington. Prof. Williams' scholarship and personal qualifications are of such a high order that his selection by the Haitian government for so important a mission is well received in all circles, and acknowledged as a well deserved honor.
Mr. Robert Church of Memphis, Tenn., is known for his activities in public life. His business career, in his home city, as well as his wide experience, will make him useful to the Haitian public in promoting its industrial organization, which he has been invited to do.
These gentlemen are expected to sail for Haiti in the near future. President Borno has shown wisdom and foresight in sending to America for advice and assistance in the promotion of advanced educational methods and better industrial organization, and his policy will be far reaching in its benefits.

AFRICAN NATIVES RESENT COLOR BAR IN CHRISTIANITY
Lading African Newspepers Maintains That New Spirit Is Awakening Among People of the Dark Continent.
MOHAMMEDANISM ADVANCES
Attributes Islamic Successes to True Brotherhood Practiced by Followers o iCrescent Rather Than of the Cross.
Johannesburg, S. Africa, Nov. 10—(Crusader Service.) Commenting on the recent conference of the African section of the Johannesburg diocese, the Abantu-Batho, one of the leading native newspapers published in the vernacular and in English, makes the following interesting editorial statements:
"We are on the threshold of great things. There is something moving among the Bantu people—something with which both church and state will reckon in the near future. There have come into being among the Bantu people a new spirit—a spirit of nationalism. That is why there is a religious and political discontent among them. Today they know that they are a people, and that they have a definite place in God's scheme of things. They are growing into fanhood, and it will be useless for anybody to try and prevent their progress.
"Those who followed the discussion which took place in the conference must have been struck by the bold manner in which protests were made against the color bar in church. To some people these protests may appear to be childish or to be the work of "native agitators." In consequence they will attach no importance to them, but we who know how our people feel in the matter of their rights can see looming in the distance something similar to the European reformation.
"Christianity as taught by Europeans has so far failed to carry out the objects and ideals of its founders. In the first place, it has failed to establish one church, and in consequence has made the establishment of a human brotherhood under the Fatherhood of God impossible; while it teaches the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man nevertheless it still recognizes, and worse than this it encourages with all its might, the gulf between Jew and Gentile. It draws a line of damarcation between color and color, race and race, nation and nation. Thus it may be said, without exaggeration, that it is responsible for all the hatred and bitterness that exist throughout the Christian world. For how can we account for the atrocities and barbarities that were committed during the great war by the Christian nations of Europe. We never heard of a Mohammedan nation waging war against the followers of Islam. But the world today is in a state of turmoil and mankind is suffering because of the jealousies and quarrels that exist among the Christian nations.
"The failure of European Christianity lies in the fact that the religion of the Son of God has been used as a
political weapon for taming undeveloped races to facilitate their exploitation by white men. No one can find fault with Christianity as taught by Christ on the banks of Jordan, the sea of Gallilee, and on the Mount of Olives. There Christ taught the love of God for all mankind; He taught the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man; He preached the gospel of peace on earth and good will to all men. To him Jew and Gentile were the sons of God bound together by the ties of His Fatherly love. But European Christianity is the anti-thesis of these doctrines; it preaches nationalism, racialism and sectarianism.
"Now the question is whether here in Africa Protestantism will be allowed to continue its mischief making or not? But the challenge that has been made by the native section of the Diocese of Jachannesburg clearly shows that it will sooner or later, face an African Protestantism. No one can deny the fact that our people throughout the country are fed up with the policy of segregation in church and state. The day is not far off when they will claim absolute control of their affairs both religiously and politically. Already there is a good number of them who have, on account of color bar in church come to the conclusion that what is wanted is the establishment of a national church controlled by themselves. The agitation of the native section of the Anglican church for absolute equality in church is a significant sign of the times, it is a sign which shows that Protestantism is passing thru a crisis which is bound to culminate into something similar, as we have already said, to European reformation. More and more the educated Africans feel that they cannot occupy a place of inferiority in church as well as in state. They feel, also, that European Christianity is in many respects foreign to their national as priations, traditions and customs.
"In the meantime, from the north virile Mohammedanism is steadily sweeping southward. Before its practical application of the ideal principle of the Fatherhood of God and the consequent brotherhood of man, European Christianity fades wherever contact between the advanced lines of the two religions is established. The logical mind of the African cannot see anything worthy in a religion which fosters race prejudice and the color bar and even in the case of native converts to Christianity the present trend is to repudiate the religion of the dominant races of Europe for a religion based upon the practical application of the brotherhood of man."

Alleged to Have Ordered Shooting of Native Soldier Who Refused to Be Impressed Into Work Without Pay.
AROUSE HOSTILE SENTIMENT
Africans Bitter Against United States and Opposition to Liberian Loan Freely Voiced.
Monrovia, Liberia, Nov. 10.—The trial and conviction of Mendi Queite, a frontier soldier for the wilful killing of a native, Jamille recently, uncovered in fullest measure local hostility toward Americans and the American government.
The Liberian frontier force is under the sole direction of U. S. A. officers whom Liberians hold responsible for the outrageous murder. This is only a poor taste of what will happen when Liberia comes under United States rule, according to the natives.
Evidence produced at the trial proved that one Lieutenant Stanford, white, ordered his native soldiers to raid a village, in Bassa county, and secure by force laborers to carry his soldiers' baggage.
This order directly conflicted with the recent proclamation issued by President King that no forced labor is to be called out in the interior and that all workers must be paid for their services when rendered. The whole Bassa village revolted against Lieutenant Stanford's order and the native Jammie was shot. At the trial last week he was convicted for murder and sentenced to hanged.
Sentiment Against the Loan.
General sentiment among the civilized Liberians as well as the natives is that the United States is buying Liberia with the $5,000,000 loan, and that the U. S. marines will proceed in Liberia just as they do in Hali't or Cuba. Especially distasteful to the natives is the loan provision, that the loan commissioners will be immune to arrest while directing financial affairs in Africa. If commissioners are immune to arrest should they beat, rape or murder Liberians will not Liberians also be immune from arrest if they commit crimes against the American commissioners? Surely, immunity should work in both directions.
Under the loan agreement, it is declared here that President King will also receive an increase in salary so that he will be getting $23,000 per year.
CENTRAL HIGH TRIMS
LINCOLN—SCORE 19 TO 6
Galloway, Howell and Thomas Distin guish Themselves.—Lewis Makes Good Showing for Lincoln.
One of the best football games that devotees of this sport have seen in this city was that of last Saturday at League Park between Central and Lincoln wit he triumphant record and inasmuch as Central had gone down before the aggregation from the Capitol for six successive years, the Links were confident of another victory. They were doomed to disappointment. Central scored a touchdown within, the first five minutes of play. The terrific line plunges of Galloway and Howell took the legislators off their feet. It was a well-played game from start to finish. Both Central and Lincoln showed fine teamwork. The three colored boys, Galloway, Thomas and Ennis, on Central did stellar work but the two outstanding players were Galloway and Howell. Lewis, colored half-back for Lincoln, showed up to good advantage, but the outstanding star of that strong aggregation was Thomas. The score was 19 to 6, Galloway making a touchdown within a few seconds of the end of the last quarter.
A preliminary game between Central and Lincoln's reserves was also a snappy, well-fought game in which neither side scored. Lincoln would have scored when Wagner cleared the whole defense on an end run but for a fine tackle by Williams, Central quarter, which nearly knocked the speedy Centralite cold, but in which he sent Wagner through the air in a totally uncalled position. For the Central reserves Williams, Muxen and Hughes were the principal ground gainers; and Luscombe and Gordon for the Lincolnites.
75 PER CENT FOR DEMOCRATS
New York, Nov. 10.—Civil Service Commissioner Ferdinand Morton, head of the Colored Democracy League, pledged 75 per cent of New York's vote to Al Smith, white, democratic candidate for governor. Returns show that he kept his promise.
13-YEAR-OLD BOY
MUST FACE DEATH
IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
To Pay Extreme Penalty for Killing
of Woman—Another Example
of Famous "Oldahoma"
McAsterer, Okla., Nov. 10—Coming as a crowning and inglorious climax to the sordid record of Oklahoma, is the announcement that Elias Ridge, a 13-year-old colored boy, must go to his Maker via electric chair.
The youth, the youngest to have ever received a death sentence, was sent to the chair by Judge A. C. Brewster of Pryor, Okla., after the boy had pleaded guilty to the murder of Mrs. George Adair. According to the story, the woman was killed after a desperate struggle.
When asked why he had committed the crime, he replied that his brother-in-law, Hardy Smith, had told him to do it, and had promised to give him a pet, to which the youth had taken a particular liking.
PLANS COMPLETED FOR
RED CROSS DRIVE
"All plans have been completed for a very successful Red Cross drive," Dr. A. C. Stokes, Chairman of the local Red Cross Chapter, told women workers at a luncheon at the Fontenelle Hotel Wednesday.
More than 500 women will take part in the drive, which will start Nov. 13 to last three days. The city has been divided into districts and a quota will be set for each one of them. Omaha's total quota is $25,000. Many of the prominent men and women of this city have signified their intention of refusing to contribute $1.00, but insist on giving a larger sum. Subscriptions of $25 and $50 are being received from them.
"The work of the Red Cross is well known here," said Mr. Stokes. "What it did during the war—what it did during the Omaha tornado—what it did to relieve the suffering following two calamities in the city—what it is now doing to aid disabled soldiers, makes it one of the most important civic organizations of Omaha. It deserves your support, it needs your support, for it must live."

CLAIM THAT FAMOUS REGIMENT HAS BEEN RELIEVED OF ARMS
The Twenty-fourth Infantry, With an Honorable Record, Now Stationed in Georgia, Is Disarmed.
A PROTEST HAS BEEN FILED
New York, Nov. 10.—The office of the N. A. A. C. P. has received an authentic report that the 24th U. S. Colored Infantry Regiment has been disarmed after being sent to Camp Benning, Ga.
The commanding officer, Colonel Schofield, has been relieved of command and in his stead Colonel Ricklin, a Southern cracker, has been appointed. Protest was filed immediately with Secretary of War Weeks in Washington.
Apparently the action of the War Department was caused by white Georgians who feared a repetition of what took place in Houston, Texas, in 1917. The association is asking its members in all parts of the country to request the War Department to recall the 24th from Georgia.

TEN COMMANDMENTS
PROCURE AUTHOR'S
FREEDOM FROM JAIL
Man Arrested for Vagrancy Shows
Judge Book Containing New
Decalogue and Is
Discharged.
COMMENDED BY MAGISTRATE
Booklet Being Distributed by Author When Arrested Contains Sound Advice Which Should Be
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 10.—(Preston News Service.)—Edwin Burch, charged with vagrancy, handed the police judge a copy of his booklet which he was distributing among Negroes here and was discharged by the official with the following comment: "I think your work will accomplish more for the betterment of your people than me sending you to the prison farm. I am told that the police found you at the union deposit passing out these books to colored people. You say you have just landed in town. After looking over, your booklet I am confident that you will be able to accomplish much good in this city by placing it in the hands of your people. You are at liberty to carry on this good work here."
The commandments follow:
1. Men, women, boys, girls, husbands, wives, sweethearts and lovers; hate not work, it is the first step to progress, prosperity, honesty, respectability and wealth.
2. Keep within the confines of the law. Crime and the violation of laws pay off only in grief, worry, sorrow and misery.
3. Love, adore and cherish the Negro woman; by this you respect your mother and gain the respect of your fellowman.
4. Remember, America has done more for you than any other country in the world, and will do more in proportion to the number of converts from ignorance to intelligence. Let well enough alone.
5. Remember, in America, Canada, Mexico or across the sea you are a Negro wherever you may be. The stain shall be forever upon thee. The history of the Negro has been written and cast to the four corners of the world. You cannot overcome history.
6. Remember, when mingling with evil associates, you are swinging upon the jail house gates. Desperadoes, outlaws and bad characters, all must bow before the forces of law and order.
7. Do not attempt to do some things you see in the movie show. Moving pictures have caused the eyes of many to be opened and have caused the eyes of many to be closed.
8. Respect the man who owns this country. He is your best friend after all. He gave you a home in the best country in the world. Otherwise you would be, perhaps, this day. in dark Africa, the least civilized. less developed and recognized of all countries.
9. Listen not to slick-tongued self-styled Negro leaders, who give you a mouthful of sweet dreamy talk and take a handful of your hard earned money.
10. Remember the money the Negro spends in fine churches, automobiles, conventions and folliness would build hundreds of mills, factories, plants, hospitals. office buildings and old folks' homes, thus giving work to thousands of Negro men, women, boys and girls who pose and repose upon our street corners.

THE ELECTION
THE election is over. The voters of the country have decided as to the candidates to whom they will entrust the affairs of government and have expressed their sentiments upon the outstanding issues involved. Nationally, for the election of senators and congressmen is a national and not merely a sectional or state issue, there has been great searching of heart. The returns indicate that the people have not been satisfied with governmental affairs and that they are closely watching national legislation and are holding their representatives responsible. The republican majority in both houses has been reduced. Standpatters have in several cases been repudiated, or their election been so close, that they must take warning, if they are wise. Progressive candidates have in many instances been elected. Returns from many sections clearly indicate that our own people have begun to discriminate and while loyalty patriotize they are not slavishly partisan. Men and measures rather than parties concern them. This is a long-needed emancipation, long due because of the narrowness and insane bigotry of the Bourbon South and its dominance of members of the democratic party in the North and West by that element which has prevented our division along party lines. This has been doubly harmful. But political emancipation is coming. Evidence of this is seen nationally and locally. In the local campaign our people divided their votes. While affiliating with the republican party, they supported candidates of the other party, whom they believed were good enough Americans to give us a square deal and substantial recognition in the distribution of patronage as well as improving general conditions. Successful candidates of both parties ought to recognize the value of our vote. If they are wise, they will. The election should teach us all many valuable lessons. It should impress us with the fact, among other things, that we are individually responsible for the kind of government under which we elect to live.
HITCHCOCK'S DEFEAT
THE Monitor, as we have said before, is personally fond of Gilbert M. Hitchcock, whose friendship we prize. He is a man of unquestioned ability, and despite what his opponents may say a man of presidential calibre. Because of his ability, we regretted to see him indulge in playing small politics as he did in his belated speech in the senate on "The Black Horror of the Rhine", and which was widely circulated as a campaign document in German communities. It was a bid, as the Monitor hitherto pointed out, for the German vote of this state. We stated that he would undoubtedly need that vote to win, but questioned the wisdom and efficacy of the method employed to win it. Our judgment was correct. In injury to the lowly is always required. It acted as a boomerang. It was a belated attempt, and a stupidly bungling one, to placate an element which other acts had incensed against him. His attitude on many of these measures was sound. The women also opposed him. His defeat was overwhelming and being a national character it administers a body blow to the democrats in national affairs.
AN OPPORTUNY
GOVERNOR Bryan, Sheriff Endres, and Otto J. Bauman, successful democratic candidates, have a golden opportunity to strengthen themselves and their party by giving substantial representation to our people. No republican governor has given our people any recognition in the hundreds of state positions at their disposal. As mayor of Lincoln, Bryan was fair to all classes, and we confidently expect to see him maintain that record as governor. We believe that Sheriff Endres and Bauman will give our people recognition. New York has recognized her colored democracy and has found it profitable to do so. Nehraka

EMPEROR JONES
A large and cultured audience o. both races filled the Brandeis theatre Thursday night when O'Neill's weird and fantastic play, "Emperor Jones," was presented for the first time in Omaha, with the famous Charles S. Gilpin playing the title role. That Mr. Gilpin fully sustained the high reputation as an actor which had preceded him was justified by the ovation which he received at the end of the first act and again at the close of the play. The audience's appreciation of the great actor's art was attested by the stillness with which climaxes of several scenes, where applause was out of place, was received, as fully as by the thunderous applause which shook the house at the places above designated. As an actor Gilpin has not been over praised. He is a great actor. His presentation of the difficult role of "Emperor Jones" was first perfectly natural, which is the very acme of acting. This naturalness was sustained throughout the whole gamut of emotions, elemental and acquired, through which the stirring, primitive, semi-civilized and civilized plot of the story runs. The story is not a beautiful one, although like all of O'Neill's stories it teaches a salient truth, but the acting was superb. We are of course, proud of Gilpin and his art. His greatness as an actor, and his character, thank God, comports therewith, helps to elevate our race and give us higher standing in America. He was worthily supported.

Who brings her famous company of ten jazz playing musicians to the Gayety, week starting Saturday matinee, November 11th, in conjunction with Jimmie Cooper's "Beauty Revue".
The Nebraska Negro Democratic Club is receiving congratulations for the telling work it did for the party during the lively campaign which has just closed. The election of Michael Endres as sheriff and other democratic candidates was in a large measure due to the effective and intelligent work of this organization.
---
HERE'S THE RECORD BREAKER
"Jimmie Cooper and His Beauty Revue" are heading this way to open a week at the popular Gayety theatre Saturday matinee. It is without doubt one of the best attractions playing Columbia wheel burslees. Cooper has spent lots of his time and money this year on talent instead of scenic effects. If a high-stepping chorus is scenery then Cooper is a great scenic artist. The costume investiture is greater by far than most burlesque shows, but his chief boast is his collection of talent.
His principal comedian, is that master of funology, Eddie Fox, who sing, dances, plays instruments, turns flip flaps and can pull a laugh without using forceps. He will be assisted by Fred Harper, Betty Burroughs, a beautiful blonde and Ruth Osborne, a tall, magnificient brunette, holds down the soubrette and prima donna roles, with grand opera voices. Betty Delmonte, the ingeneus, is a symphony joy.
George Murray and Lew Druthers, juveniles, known as "The Dancing Fools", will show the local disciples of the kick and run a few new wrinkles on the old face of Terpsichore. Gonzell White and her jazzers of real jazz will be found one of the fastest moving specialities in vaudeville burlesque. The second added starter is the wrestling girls novelty act from the New York Hippodrome, Romanoff, wetterweight champion of the world known as "Tarzan, the Hairy Ape", will demonstrate at every performance. Jimmie Cooper will be there and that means a lot to burlesque audiences. Sunday's matinee starts at 3:00.

Mr. Leon Smith was in Des Moines, Ia., last Saturday, where he played on the football team from Morning-side College. Mr. Smith was the only Negro on the team. He has made commendable progress in athletics at Morningside as well as in his studies. Four other young men are attending Morningside this year and they are evidently holding up the banner of the race.

There will be a Thanksgiving dinner in the dining room of the Mt. Zion Baptist church, Thanksgiving day given by the church. The choir will render a program at night.
The Brotherhood of the Mt. Zion Baptist church are rejoicing over their success in the rally Sunday, November 5th. It was not only a financial rally but considerable stress was placed on a soul saving camaign. A very able discourse was listened to by appreciative congregation as the Rev. H. C. Boyd, pastor of the Malone A. M. E. Chapel, expounded a stirring message on "Brotherhood". A liberal collection was realized. Master Vernon Carriger, but six years old, recited "Are All the Children In?" A series of sermons is being preached by the Rev. Mr. Stewart, D. D., of Chicago, pastor of the Quinn Chapel of that city, here at the Malone Chapel. Every one should take advantage of the opportunity to hear this distinguished minister.
Mr. and Mrs. Warren Foster, 420 West Seventh street, entertained the Rev. W. N. Chapman and wife, Rev. Monroe Price, Rev. J. W. Tutt and Leland Green at dinner Sunday. The usual liberal spirit of the Foster family prevailed.
The property adjoining that of Mt. Zion Baptist church, corner West 6th and Bluff streets, has been purchased by that church for a parsonage. The pastor and his wife hope to be at home in the parsonage to their many friends in the near future.
Mrs. Maggie Joseph, who underwent a very serious operation some time ago is reported to have suffered a back set and is quite ill at present. Her rapid and permanent recovery is hoped for.

"FEAST IN THE FOREST"
A DECIDED SUCCESS
Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 10.—The play entitled "Feast in the Forest," given last Tuesday night in Montifire Hall, under the auspices of the American Woodmen, proved to be one of the most entertaining historical depictions of racial progress given here in many years.
The play was written by William Blue, formerly bandmaster of the 350th A. E. F. and now national director of music for the American Woodmen. Mr. Blue has cleverly compiled facts of historical development
of the race in this country since the close of the civil war, showing the obstacles and hindrances which have confronted the race and how most of them are being overcome. The play shows what a large part the American Woodmen fraternal order has played in this wonderful development of the race.

NOTES OF THE N. W. C. A. HOME
The N. W. C. A. held a very interesting meeting last Wednesday, Nov. 1. A large number were present. The in element weather did not keep the tatnful ones away. Plans were made for the doll contest and as soon as the agent for the dolls, Mrs. Joe LaCouer, hears from New York and gets the doll for demonstration we will give the books out to the little girls who are so anxious to start to work. We have seven little girls and when that wonderful doll gets here we will have more to enter for the doll is beautiful, walks, talks and goes to sleep.
For the past seven years the pastors of the different churches have asked their congregations to bring an offering the Sunday before Thanksgiving to the church for the benefit of the Old Folks Home, so the committees are all arranged and will appear in our next week's paper. We hope those who attend the churches on Nov. 26 will bring a liberal offering for the Home. We have four inmates to care for and it takes as much to operate that home as it does our own, and we are depending on the public to help us operate the Home.
Will who will see that the inmates have a fowl for their Thanksgiving dinner? Mr. John Broomfield has for the past four years seen that they had their Christmas dinner and we are sure of it this year from him. Anyone wishing to send a fowl can send it to 3020 Pinkney street or call Mrs. W. A. Shelton, Webster 6091, chairman of the house committee, and she will see that it gets to the home. Mrs. Elliase Turner, Cor. Secy.; Mrs. W. H. Mortimer, President.

We are closing out the greatest revival meeting ever held in So. Omaha. The effects of this meeting are far reaching and will be productive of much good to the entire church world of Omaha. People of all races and denominations attended this meeting and went away praising Rev. Mr. Brown for this great truth he was preaching to the people. Our immediate church has been renewed in spirit and zeal much to the joy of the pastor, and we look forward now to a continued growth and development of a real Christian people in the truest Bible sense of the word. We feel that a church should stand for the highest ideals in a community. Hence we are trying to remedy our defects by a closer relationship with God thru the operation of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We also see a way now to have a mission in South Omaha where many of our wayward boys and girls who will not attend a church may have a chance to come and hear the gospel ever ynight.

FRIEDMAN BROS. BOOTERTE
Have you visited recently Friedman
Bros. Booterie on North Twenty-
fourth street between Charles and
Seward Streets? It is one of the
handsomest stores in that section of
the city. The firm is well known to
our readers, Their stock of shoes is
complete and of the latest style und
at most reasonable prices.
CARLSON THE OLD RELIABLE
For thirty-two years C. J. Carlson
has conducted a shoe store at the same
location, 1514 North Twenty-fourth
street. He numbers among his cus-
tomers scores whose parents bought
shoes of Carlson for them when they
were kids. Now grown to manhood
and womanho@d and having married
they are continuing to trade with Carl-
son, buying their shoes for the whole
family as their parents did. For years
and years C. J. Carlson had the only
shoe store on North Twenty-fourth
street, It is still regarded as the old
reliable shoe store.

‘To develop a suit in the soft un-
broken lines thet characterize a dress
is one of style's requisites for those
models that would be truly smart. The
employment of finest fabrics and ad-

silhouette have made this requisite
not only a possibility, but the means
of achleving some unusually artistic
creations. One company has had ex-
ceptional success in developing the

Madam E, Hackley Lawson
ACME HAIR GROWER
has done for them.
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 18, 1922.
Enough ean not be said of Madam
E, Hackley Lawson's wonderful Hair
Grower. I was very much discouraged
with the many hair oils until better
than one year ago I began Madam
Lawson's treatment which has proven
a success, for my hair was then three
inches long and breaking harsh and
falling with an itehing scalp. But
now T have an abundant growth of
hair, ten inches long, with a healthful
sealp, owing to the wonderful Acme
Fair Grower.—MPS. A. BALDWIN,
