NO. 3 On March 14th, 162 members of the fighting Buffalo Division returned from overseas, to be discharged at the Presidio. The men were met at Oakland pier by about 500 friends and relatives, who let out one rousing cheer when the train run into the station and there was never such an affectionate greeting on the pier as was extended to the boys by their mothers, fathers and sweethearts and wives. The Mayor of Oakland, J. L. Davie, was very conspicuous in extending greetings to the boys. After detraining the boys were fed at the Red Cross canteen, where the Red Cross ladies did everything possible to make the boys happy. Afterwards Mayor Davie spoke very feelingly of the bravery of the boys and how glad he was to be able to extend them greeting home, as he had bid them God speed when they departed. Lt. J. L. Kimbrough of Los Angeles spoke at length of what the boys had accomplished in France, the hardships they underwent and how happy they were to get home and how he hoped due appreciation would be shown them when mustered back into civil life. Erol Marshall, Rev. Brown and Mrs. Tilghman, president of the State Federation of Colored Women's clubs, made a short and touching address. The boys then took the boat for San Francisco, where the great welcome awaited them. The siren on top of the Ferry Building blew loud and long as the boat was landing and they were met in front of the building by the municipal band, which played patriotic airs. Mayor James Rolph, Jr., escorted them to the north end of the building to the Red Cross canteen, where he gave a welcome address, touching upon their wonderful record on the battlefields of France. Mayor Rolph was attended by several other city officials. The Mayor, not being satisfied with the greetings thus extended to the boys hastily called a committee together, of which your humble servant was a member, and arranged a more fitting public welcome home for the boys. The committee, about twenty in number, met in the mayor's office on the 17th, presided over by the genial Edward Rainey, the mayor's secretary, Mrs. Prentice Cobb Hale, the head of the Red Cross Canteen service in San Francisco, Mrs. James Rolph, the mayor's wife and several other white ladies were present, as well as Mr. Ralph Pincus, the theatrical manager, and other white men. As the men of the Buffalo division were to be discharged the 22nd, it was necessary to get busy and get busy fast to arrange a fitting program, which had to be brought off on the 20th at the great Civic Auditorium. There were 48 more men in the division arrived on the 19th in charge of Lieuts. A. P. Alberga and Journee White. The entire 48 men were decorated by the French with the Croix de Guerre, in recognition of the services before Metz. Journee White alone was of the men who fought for twenty-one days without relief. The program at the Civic Auditorium was started by the Mayor, and his wife escorting Litu. Alberga, who by the way, is a native San Francisco, into the hall and onto the platform, followed by the other members of the committee and speakers. The mayor gave the address of welcome in a very feeling and touching manner, giving great commendation to the gallantry and courage of the men under fire. Lieut. Alberga spoke of the trip of the men to France, when returning the stand of colors to the mayor, of how they had defended it and never allowed it to touch the ground and had kept it unsullied and unstained by a single defeat when in action. He also touched lightly, but effectively upon the hardship the men were likely to find when seeking a job and hoped the mayor would use his utmost influence to see that the men did receive a square deal. The noticeable feature about it was that the mayor did not touch upon it when he answered the lieutenant. How ever, the mayor did his utmost to make the boys feel welcome and show his appreciation of the work they had done in France. His messenger, Len Harris, was very much in evidence, and too much credit cannot be given Mr. Harris for his untiring efforts to make the occasion the success that it was. The Auditorium, which seats about twenty thousand people, was well filled with both white and colored, as there were about eight thousand present. Rev. T. L. Scott of Chicago, who was holding revival services at Bethel church, gave the address of welcome on behalf of the colored people, his eloquent appeal for a square deal and fair-play was both well chosen and opportune. He did the race credit by his eloquent and brilliant address and received round after round of che The evening closed with dances, the music being furnished by the municipal band. Altogether it was voted by all present as the grandest and most efficient welcome home ever accorded our people in the west. There may have been more people present at other places, such as Chicago and New York, there may have been greater events staged for the enjoyment of our people, but never has there been at any time or any place a more thoroughly sincere welcome given any members of our race, than what was shown at the Civic Auditorium on Thursday, March 20, 1919. ORVAL ANDERSON, 25 Cook St., San Francisco, Calif. GLOBE~MIAMI Mr. James Lott, who underwent an operation a few weeks ago, is able to be out again. Oh, you California! Mr. Lott, your sins will surely find you out. We were pleased to have Messrs. Frank Hill, James Wright, William Kendricks and other unsaved men out to services last Sunday night. Come again, young men; the Lord will bless you. Mrs. Mary E. Wilson closed her revival meetings in Miami last week. The meetings proved quite successful. If you want to find your friends, advertise in the Tribune. Rev. Young of Globe placed an ad in the Tribune, inquiring for Rev. Bell. No sooner was the paper off the press than Rev. Bell sent a telegram informing Rev. Young of his whereabouts. It pays to advertise. Rev. J. B. Bell spent several days with us last week and preached two strong sermons Sunday. Rev. Bell himself received the reward which Rev. Young had offered for information as to his whereabouts. It was a nice fat purse of $20. Rev. Bell returned to Phoenix Monday. Mesdames C. F. Watkins, W. F. Watkins, Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins, Mr. and Mrs. Ray of Miami were visitors in Globe this week. Mrs. Mary E. Wilson is conducting a meeting in Globe this week. Mr. Warren T.

Watkins presided at the organ Sunday afternoon and night. Mrs. Cora Fry, vice-president of St. John's Missionary circle, presided at the meeting last Monday night in the absence of the president, Mrs. B. Taylor. Mrs. Feland is a new arrival in our city from Alabama. She is a strong Baptist. Mr. and Mrs. Skulock left Saturday on a sad mission. Their little daughter, who was only ten years old, died last Thursday at 3:15 o'clock after seventeen days' illness. Mrs. Skulock stated before leaving for El Paso with the body of her little girl that she desired to thank the good people of Globe, who had been so nice and kind to her during the illness and death of her little girl. She especially desired to thank Mrs. William Young, who had been as a mother to her.

As the demand increases I shall advise you and soon I expect to handle at least 50 copies of the Tribune each week. The people of this city are delighted with the paper and there is a growing demand for it. It's a pleasure for me to sell the Tribune. J. E. Brown gave an entertainment for the benefit of Samuel Huston college, which is located at Austin, Tex. The affair proved a grand success. The good people of Lampasas surprised Mrs. Mariah Hollman last week with a pound party. Mrs. Hollman has been on the sick list for some time and this burst of generosity was quite a treat to her. Mr. J. W. Doolittle received a letter from his son, C. A. Doolittle, who has been doing duty overseas, and he states that he arrived safely at New York harbor and will start for Texas soon. Mr. Doolittle, Sr., also received a letter from his other son, who is still in France, stating that he is well. This father is overjoyed to learn that both of his sons have come safely through the great war. Mr. John Adams, who has been "over there," is again in our midst, shaking hands with friends. Mrs. Daisy Turner, of Waco, is here visiting her mother and sisters. The oil magnates are here and all we can hear is oil, oil, oil. The drills are running night and day and we expect to strike oil at any time. Everybody in this community has nothing except oil on their minds. Mrs. M. Holman has been confined to her home the past two weeks suffering with a severe case of pneumonia. The Tribune reporter has been on the sick list a few days, but is all right now. PHOENIX,.ARIZONA,SATURDAY,APRIL 12,1919 An Appeal To the Nation Speak out, O nation, proud and great! Reveal thy love, and not thy hate— Thy kindler impulse, not thy scorn, For these thy children, humbly born, And dyed with sable hue. Speak out! and let the whole world know, What recompense thou wilt bestow, For deeds of valor and for toil, In native land, on foreign soil, Wrought by their loyal hands. In vain I strive to know and feel The worth of all thy boasted zeal, The secret spring of thy design, Toward this patient race of mine, Defamed without cause. Is not the man who gives his life, To free the world from greed and strife. strife, Deserving of an honored place, Whatever be his creed or race, Among the sons of men? Shall violent passions still hold sway And torture him from day to day? Shall mobs still burn him at the stake? 'Tis time, O, nation, to awake, And prove thy nobler self. The nations stand without thy door; They reverence thee as ne'er before; Then verify thy sacred claim, Mete justice with unsullied aim, And give to him his share. Speak, then, not as a scattered few But as a whole with purpose true; Speak thou in accents loud and clear; The words that comfort and that Rev. B. B. Johnson preached to a crowded house on last Sunday night. All present enjoyed his discourse. 0 Springfield, Ill.-For the first time in the history of Illinois a colored woman, Miss Lillian M.

RAY By Archie Lewis Excitement ran high in Sunny Side last week, when a report became current that Reuben Reed had made $60,000 in I. X. L. oil stock. Rube was being congratulated by every one, but unfortunately, he had no oil stock. They got his name mixed with another, I. K. Reed, who made a fortune in I. X. L. oil stock. Rube says that if he had $60,000, he would not care if this is a dry state. Rev. W. R. Burgess of Phoenix, preached to a small, but appreciative audience one night last week. Mr. Brooks of Superior was a Ray visitor last week. Mr. J. J. McDonald is confined to his home with a severe attack of tonsolitis. Mr. E. A.

Mr. and Mrs. John White are new residents of Bisbee. Philadelphia.—There is much discussion going on here in various daily newspapers concerning the proper treatment of Negroes. The daily newspapers are freer with their space on matters affecting the Negro than they have ever been before. Much of the writing is good and there must be some beneficial results. REP.

They want your trade and will treat you right—Editor. We are often reminded of the wrong and injustice many people do the home merchant, by ordering their goods from out of town concerns. How many people stop to think that every dollar they send out of Arizona for the purchase of goods that may be procured Jvom their local merchant, is so much money taken from the civie improvement fund of their respective communities? Your local mer- chant is interested in you and the city or town in which his store is located. A certain per cent of his profits goes towards the develop- ment of that community in the way of improved buildings, graded and paved streets, and other things which add to the value and attrae- tiveness of property in the community. Not only that, but he gives employment to men and women in Arizona, and indireetly supports many families, Let us suppose that you save 50 cents or a dollar on a pair of shoes ordered from a catalogue house ; you never know what the shoes look like until the expressman has gone and you have un- wrapped the package. Nine times out of ten there is some little defect, some disappointment and dissatisfaction on your part. The shoe fits all right and in many ways is like the description and picture from which you ordered it, but it just ‘‘don’t suit”, that’s all. You keep it, not because you are satisfied, but because you got a ‘‘bargain”’ and don’t feel like going to the trouble of returning it. With the home merchant it is different. Unless the shoe fits right, looks right and feel right on your foot, you don’t take it. is To us, it seems that people who persist in buying from catalogue houses just because they can save a few cents, are penny wise and pound foolish, The eastern merchant who offers to sell you goods cheaper than your local dealer, does so because of the fact that he is free from the burden of taxation in your state. He is not called upon to donate to churches and other charitable institutions in Arizona. He is not asked to give employment to your husbands and wives. Neither is he assessed for street improvements in your community. ‘All these things, yea, and more, are DEMANDED of the local mer- chant. An@ you wonder why the local dealer can’t compete with the catalogue houses. We dare say that if your home merchant were as unconcerned about Arizona and its development as the eastern merchant and could turn his profits back into his stock without being assessed, taxed and prevailed upon for donations, ete., he too, could sell you goods for less. Let’s form the habit of trading at home and by so doing we will help ourselves while helping others. Another thought, if a merchant jn Los Angeles or New York can get the patronage of Phoenix people through catalogues and other forms of advertising, he will never think of establishing a store in Phoenix. What's the use! He gets you money any way. Wake up! Buy your goods from your local merchant and keep the money in Arizona, Arizona for Arizonians is the demand of the hour. Trade at home.

MARKS, The friends and admirers cf Presi- dent Wilson are becoming so enthused that they are proposing that he do the impossible—aceept another nomina- tion—with the hope of having himself elected for a third time as President of this country. Every now and then some over- zealous followers of some particular bright star, who has served the peo- ple well, according to their views, Propose that the people break the greatest: unwritten law of this com- try and elect their idol for a third time to the chiet magistracy of this nation. ‘The friends ot General Grant tried hard to nominate him for a third term and failed, as did the worshippers of ‘Theodore Roosevelt, although he had not served two full terms as Presi- dent, they found it impossible to force him upon the country as President for more than eight years. It fs true that Mr. Wilson has sur- prised the natives by succeeding him- self after his first term, but obser- vant people know that the plea that he was the great factor which was de- pended upon to keep this country out of war won the votes of the women of the West and turned the tide in his favor. No matter what the question at is- sue will be, it is an utter impossibility to convince enough people that Mr. Wilson can accomplish the feat which neither Grant nor Roosevelt could per- form. “Coming events cast their shadows before,” and the fact that the people of this country returned a {ongress hostile to President Wilson in face of the fact that he haa made a personal er ae of hi ad ei a 4 a ox .

His party has proven beyond ques- tion that they have given the women the death blow to their hope of gain- ing national suffrage, and every ‘pos: sible known insult and discrimination has been shown to the Negro to cause him not to hope to even get the least consideration from that source, and if the Democrats find it impossible to find another hopeful in their party they certainly will be handing the election over to the Republicans with- out a contest should they succeed In placing Mr. Wilson before the party as their candidate to succeed himself. © The Bull’s Eye BULL’S EYE __E.

Twenty-six students are enrolled in the night class and under the able tutelage of Mrs. Clayton are making rapid progress. Prof. F. Landry, principal of Douglas school, and Mrs. Anna Marconey, teacher of the intermediate grades, have generously assisted Mrs. Clayton with the night school class, and no small degree of credit is due them. The night school affords an excellent opportunity for all who need intellectual training, and we are pleased to see so many of our people taking advantage of it. May the good work go on. Mr. R. W. Strode entertained last Friday evening at Backer's hall in honor of his birthday.

Scott of Texas. He made a decided hit with the people of Phoenix, for it has been many days since we had in our midst an orator the equal of Mr. Scott. Mrs. G. Hartman left Monday for Texas, where she will visit for a week or ten days. The people of Winslow all are enjoying the very best of health. No one on the sick list this week. Miss Ethel DeWitt Writes Los Angeles, Cal., April 8, 1919. Editor the Tribune, Phoenix, Ariz.: I receive a copy of the Tribune each week, and I must say I am certainly delighted with it. The Tribune contains all the news of interest, and when I read the Phoenix news it makes me wish I was there. Mr. and Mrs. Parker have been on the sick list, but are much improved at present. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Winston, Mr. and Mrs. I. Henley have a cleaning establishment and are doing nicely. Perhaps the mother and friends of Mr. M. Lincoln Burk will be interested to learn that he was a Los Angeles visitor last Saturday and Sunday. After being stationed at Balboa Park, at San Diego, for the past year, he was assigned to the battleship Minneapolis early in February. The Minneapolis sails for the east coast the last of April, and Mr. Burk is real anxious to go. He says that it is rather tiresome to be stationed at the same camp for a whole year, and he believes a change will do him good. Mr. Burk met with an accident in December, but it has not affected him in the least. He is the picture of health, and I honestly believe that sailor life agrees with him. Mr. and Mrs. J. Gooden are among the enterprising and progressive citizens of this community. Mr. Gooden is custodian of the Tempe National Bank building. Mrs. C. Glaze is a recent arrival in Tempe. She is from Oklahoma and came here for the benefit of her health. She is doing nicely. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Johnson, formerly of Phoenix, have started a hand laundry and are progressing nicely. Mr. Eugene Thomas, one of our prominent citizens, is conducting a first-class barber shop and is doing a land office business. Mrs. Magie Thomas, who has been slightly indisposed, is now well and able to perform her duties. Respectfully, ETHEL DE WITT. 1119 East Adams Street.

SHIRTS STETSON HATS CROSSETT SHOES THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING THIRTEEN MONTH YEAR A plan to save $50,000,000 a year in time and $15,000,000 in coin by the addition of a month to the present twelve month calendar has been launched by the American Equal Month Association, according to an announcement made by that organization. The idea is to divide the year into thirteen months of twenty-eight days each, making each month begin with a Monday. This, of course, will leave one day lying around loose in an ordinary year, so it is proposed to make that day New Year's day, an independent legal holiday, located between the last calendar day of the previous year and the first day of the following year. In leap years the extra day will also be made an independent holidays and will be slipped in between two months, where it will not be noticed. The thirteenth month, or rather the extra month under the proposed system, will be called "Liberty," to make the calendar more American, the officials of the association say. Thus the calendar will read January, February, Liberty, March, etc. The saving in money will be through the abolishment of printed calendars. That is where the saving of time and labor will come in, it is averred. The officers of the association state that the bill has been very carefully drawn for presentation to congress, and provides that the change will take place on Sunday, the first day of 1922 COLORED SOLDIERS COMPLAIN OF UNJUST TREATMENT BY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS (From The Baltimore Daily Herald) Baltimore, Md., March 29.—Please publish this in your paper for us: We are colored soldiers at Curtis Bay and they have been telling us for two months or more that they were going to discharge us in a few days and are still putting us off and discharging the white soldiers every day.

He also spoke against the discriminations of the Red Cross. So great has been the demand to get the facts proclaimed by him that several organizations have offered funds to produce the sermon in pamphlet form and scatter it broadcast.
