MASONRY INCREASES RELIGIOUS DEVOTION SENATOR HARDING (By The Associated Negro Press) Marlon, Ohio, Jan. 21.—President elect Harding has chosen the biblical text upon which he will take the oath of office as president of the United States. He will ask that the same bible which George Washington used be opened at Micah, 6th chapter and 8th verse, which reads: "He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God." Senator Harding's thoughts have been much upon the bible of late. He commented last night upon the fact in the taking of numerous degrees in masonry in the last two weeks he has been surrounded by a particularly solemn religious atmosphere. He affirmed his belief in the efficacy of prayer and predicted that prayer will help him with the problems that are before him in the White House. "During the last ten days," he said, "I have been taken far back into the story of the creation and I have found it adding to my sense of religious devotion. Prayer grips the heart and adds to one's confidence. "I believe in prayer. I believe in prayer in the closet, for there one faces God alone. Many times the spoken prayer is only for 'one's ears. I can understand how those prophets of old in their perplexities, problems, perturbations and anxieties, found courage and strength when they gave their hearts to the Great Omnipotent in prayer. "How many things there are in scripture that we in our worldliness never discover. "After all, men are much alike. God made us all in the same image and there is no difference in us except as we have developed, or when the weight of responsibility is shouldered upon us. Then God makes human beings awake. "The government of this republic has been adrift, and the inevitable result has followed. But I am not afraid, for I know through courtesy, confidence and close adherence to justice one will have at his call the great minds and intellects in this great republic and with their truth, advice and direction, we cannot go wrong." MESA MESA By Alphonso Robinson Rev. Pettigree of Los Angeles was a visitor in Mesa last Sunday and reviewed the Sunday school lesson for us. He also lectured Sunday evening and again on Monday evening to large audiences. Mrs. Ella Turner is on the sick list this week but is improving. Mr. L. Purdy and Mr. Cleo Roberts of Phoenix motored to Mesa on last Sunday. The Washington school on North Center has organized a literary society. Every week a splendid program is rendered and all are taking great interest in it.

Rev. J. M. Robinson and a party of friends motored to the capital city last Saturday. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Wilson has recovered from his recent illness and is getting along nicely. Mrs. Clara Lewis was called to the bedside of, her daughter last week. It is reported that she is doing nicely. No man can be truly brave who is not truly free. At the C. M. E. church last Monday night a good crowd turned out to hear Attorney Watkins lecture on the work of the Colored soldier in the World War. He gave a detailed account of their engagements on the field and in the trenches. He spoke of the great fight of the 15th of New York, and that great stand they made at Chateau Thierry. They hold the world's record for staying in the trenches longer than any soldiers in the war. Their great stand at Chauteau Thierry formed the pivot upon which the Allies swung victory around to their side. After the war was over the Army and the Y. M. C. A. opened up leave areas so the boys could have some place to spend a little vacation. Aixles-Bains, the first place opened as a leave area for American soldiers in France, and one of the leading French summer resorts, was built up on the reputation of its mineral springs. According to the official guide, the first baths known at Aixles-Bains were built by the Roman pro-consul, Domitius, in the year 122 B. C. February 16, 1918, Aix-les-Bains was opened as a playground for the American Expeditionary Forces in France. In a hundred hotels at Aix-les-Bains the army can accommodate 5,000 soldiers at a time, besides 800 in Chambery and 700 in Challes-les-Eaux, the other two towns of this area. Chambery and Challes-les-Eaux were set apart as leave areas for the Colored soldiers. Some of the points of interest at this leave area are Temple of Diana, now used as a museum. The exact date of the temple is not known. The thickness of the walls are more than three feet and the enormous size of those Roman tsones and the fact that no mortar was used in its construction would indicate that it belongs to a very early period, long before the Roman baths which were built 122 B. C. The lake trip, a sail on Lake of Bourget, the largest lake in France. After a sail of 15 minutes we come to Hautecombe Abbey, which is a large Italian church and the royal burial ground of Italy. Hannibal's Pass.—To students of history one of the most interesting features in this whole region is a road, now known as the Chambery to Lyon road, but built by the ancient Romans. It follows the lake shore from Bourget to Bourdeau, then winds up Cat mountain and over the pass into the Rhone valley. That pass is called Hannibal's Pass, for there is pretty clear proof that Hannibal came over it on his way to Italy, 218 B. C. In the third century B. C., there were two strong republics; one headed by Rome in Italy, the other by Carthage on the northern shore of Africa. The rivalry between them led to a series of three wars, known as the Punic wars and dating respectively, 264-241 B. C.; 218-201 B. C.; 149-146 B. C. With a train of elephants and an army of about 100,000, this is what the Carthaginian general had done: Starting in the summer of 218 B. C. with a well drilled army he crossed the Ebro river and the Pyrenees mountains. His great care then was to evade the friends of Rome located along the coast, consequently he led his army northward along the Rhone valley. It was late autumn when he reached the Alps (218 B. C.) and his crossing was fraught with the greatest dangers. Overwhelmed by snow storms; struggling over a steep and dangerous trail, sometimes so narrow that the rocks had to be cut away to make room for the elephants; looking down over dizzy precipices or up to snow-covered heights where hostile natives rolled great stones down upon them, the discouraged army of Hannibal toiled on day after day, exhausted, cold and hungry. Heavy losses reduced the number of men to about 35,000, yet with this little army the dauntless Carthagenian youth entered the territory of the strongest military power of the time, a notion which could call to her defense over 700,000 men. Within two years after his arrival in Italy, and before he was thirty years old, this wonderful Carthagen- PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1921 BLACKS FLEEING FROM GEORGIA SAY LATEST REPORTS (By The Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 27.—Negroes are fleeing from Hall county. Race disturbances have been frequent in this section of the state for sometime past. This condition has led to much controversy as to the best means to ease the situation. The whites decided that only drastic methods could be successfully used because the Negroes were determined to fight the issue to a finish. This conclusion developed into a wholesale disarming of the Negro population. This was accomplished by the issuing of a general search order of the homes and a confiscation of all firearms thus discovered. Then a "nigger drive" was opened and the colored people forced to flee to other parts. Gainesville has gained in Negro population as a result and chaos is prevailing in that section as one of the results. The governor has been asked to take steps to relieve the situation. Up to this time he has evinced no interest in the matter. ian had four times overwhelmingly defeated the greatest military nation of the ancient world. Historians agree that Hannibal was one of the greatest generals of the world. The work of the Labor Battalions should receive great commendation. At Breast the American army submitted plans of a warehouse to be built of cement on the docks. The French government and their engineers said it would take them nine months to build the same; this was too long for the army to wait, so they put the Colored Labor Battalion to work and in six weeks they had finished the building that the French claimed they could not build in less than nine months. After the war was over the Labor Battalions had to police up the battlefields. One of the many duties they had was digging up the dead bodies, making coffins for the same and then burying them in the burial grounds set apart for them. In digging up the bodies sometimes it would be a whole body, sometimes parts of a body, and in a great many cases only a shovelful of decomposed matter. This awful task was carried on day in and day out, rain or shine, until all the dead had been properly buried. The Labor Battalion, or Service Battalion, as they were called over there, were the first of our soldiers to land in France and among the last to leave, but not being numbered among the combating forces they will receive no mention in history, although they deserve as much credit for helping to win the war as the combating forces. It was through their gallant work the boys on the front were kept in supplies and ammunition. Before the armistice was signed the boys at Brest and Saint Nazaire, the two seaports where the American supplies were handled, had what they called a race for Berlin. The test was to see who in a given time could unload the most cargo from the ships and load it on trains and send it to the front. The boys at Saint Nazaire handled more hundredweight of freight in one week than the French had ever handled in that port in one year. The secret of their great achievement was organization. If the people of Phoenix will support their organizations a world of good can be accomplished towards the uplifting of our group, thus making better homes and better school facilities, and a citizenship that will be a power for good in Phoenix. There is a great need here for a Community House where the physical, social and moral welfare of our boys and girls can be properly developed along these lines. Attorney Watkins spoke under the auspices of the Phoenix Protective League. The audience was well pleased with his remarks. On February 21st Attorney Watkins will address the members and friends of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at the A. M. E. church. Power is all right when you know how to use it. HOLDING OF BLACKS IN RICHMOND, VA., FIGURED $7,500,000 (By The Associated Negro Press) Richmond, Va., Jan. 27.—The chamber of commerce of Richmond has issued a special statement with reference to banks and banking among our people in this city. It is an indication of the larger interest in economic growth of the Race and says: "This is a reminder that the four Colored banks of Richmond have combined deposits of $1,381,526.00, and this does not take into account perhaps $2,000,000 belonging to Colored people on deposit in the white banks of Richmond. It is perhaps a conservative statement to make that the colored people of Richmond have on deposit in all banks something near $4,000,000.00. In addition they are paying taxes on property valued at approximately $3,500,000.00. In only one other southern city is the Negro population reported to possess greater combined wealth, and Richmond is fast overhauling them." GLOBE-MIAMI By Miss Modesta Young The people of Globe and Miami are glad to welcome Rev. Manse, pastor of the A. M. E. church, back to this district after a brief visit with his family in Colorado. Mr. and Mrs. City of Miami entertained last week with an old-fashioned home-cooked dinner. The table was tristically decorated with flowers of contrasting colors and each guest wore a cap to match the flower opposite his plate. Covers were laid for Mr. and Mrs. George Price, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Humphrey, Rev. Walter F. Watkins, Mr. C. F. Watkins, Mr. Monterary, Mr. Edward Warren and Madam Howard. A sumptuous repast was served and all had a delightful time. Miss Lorenza Skurlock, who the past week has been on the sick list, is able to be up. Last week Mr. and Mrs. George Price entertained with one of the most beautifully appointed dinners of the season. The table was decorated with carnations and ferns and a delightful five-course repast was served. Those to enjoy the hospitality of this home were Mr. and Mrs. George Humphrey, Mr. and Mrs. Robin City, Mr. Edward Warren, Mr. James Lott, Mesdames Howard and Simpson. Mrs. C. Hall has been on the sick list the past week but is improved. The bible study at the A. M. E. church is very interesting. Let us all attend and learn more of God's word. Where there is union there is strength. Mr. and Mrs. George Humphrey entertained on last Sunday with a four-course dinner at their hospitable home. Turkey was the piece de resistance and one of the most appetizing repasts of the season was served. Carnations formed the attractive centerpiece and place card covers were laid for Mr. and Mrs. George Price, Mr. and Mrs. Robin City, Rev. W. F. Watkins, Mr. C. F. Watkins, Mr. Edward Warren, Mr. Jackson and Madam Howard. Rev. Manse held service last Sunday at the A. M. E. church in Miami and a large attendance is reported. Services at St. Johns Baptist church were well attended last Sunday night. The members of the Baptist church wish to thank the sister church and friends of Miami and Globe for their kind assistance in helping them to pay off the indebtedness of the church. Mrs. C. C. Stewart is reported on the sick list this week. The A. M. E. church will hold a great rally the first Sunday in February. Get ready to attend. Little Loretta Young was the house guest of Mrs. W. T. Jackson last Sunday. We have the consolation that we didn't make ourselves black. God made us black. We love life, liberty and the flag. Yes, his name is Warren Gamaliel Harding. NO DISCRIMINATION IN ATHLETICS AT HARVARD COLLEGE (By The Associated Negro Press) Boston, Mass., Jan. 27.-Harvard has set its foot squarely on the neck of racial discrimination by refusing to meet the University of Virginia and the U. S. Naval Academy in the dual track meets which have been arranged with those schools. Of recent years it has become popular for northern universities to play southern teams. But two of the best point winners on Harvard's track team are colored boys. When notified of this fact by Harvard's graduate manager, who added that the team would not come without them, the United States Naval Academy, a government school, supported by taxes paid by both white and colored citizens, but said to be strongly prosouthern, joined the Virginia university in accepting Harvard's cancellation. TUCSON By Winston S. Strode Rev. C. C. Simmons, who is conducting the services at Mount Calvary Baptist church preached a soul-stirring sermon at 11 o'clock Sunday.

Mr. William Long is progressing rapidly with the building of his new home at 419 East Sixth street. Mr. Ed Thompson, formerly of 559 Davis street, has moved to North Herbert street. Mr. T.-J. Spann (barber) returned to his home at 619 Brady street last week from Mesa, Arizona, where he has been working at the barber trade in one of the shops there. Mr. G. S. Miller came in last week from the Comi Babi mines, sixty miles west of here, where he left Mr. Frank Watson in charge of the men clearing away and making ready for the contractors, who will return with Mr. Miller to begin drilling and extracting ore from one of their silver mines. A very interesting affair was the birthday party given Monday, January 24th, at the home of Mrs. Lizzie Graves in honor of her little grandson, Thomas Marshall Long, Jr., who was celebrating his first birthday, being one year old. The guest list included the little Misses Helen Charles, Anna Mae Charles, Minnette Long, Josephine Kirty and Mary SOUTH AND NORTH WILL BE UNITED UNDER HARDING (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Jan. 27.—"I have no message to the people of the South that I would not utter to all the United States." This is the heart motif of the message which President-elect Harding has written at the behest of Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, to the South. Mr. Howell, it appears, is one of the prominent Southern men who is very anxious that a genuinely new era shall be opened for the southland. The Howell type of Southern affects to be heartily tired of the present tangled situation which, they say, is operating to the great economic and business disadvantage of their section of the country. The "race problem" is, of course, at the bottom of the entire situation. This is acknowledged on all sides by all complexions of men. "What is the Republican party going to do about the South's fears in relation to the loudly expressed ambitions of its present-day Negro citizens?" is the question uppermost in the minds of all Southerns. Hence the request of the editor of the Constitution. He, with other white Southerners want to know and want to know so sincerely that they can literally taste it. Mr. Harding's message has not evaded the direct question, it is declared by prominent men here, black and white, but, in his effort he has clearly called to the attention of the South the fact that the problems of the country are not sectional in character but apply, with equal force to all the country. "Let's all pull together," he says. "Let us have oneness of Americanism," de declares in another instance of the "message." In the matter of Southern appointment, Mr. Taft is the only leading Republican who has worried himself with the fear that Mr. Harding may so far forget the Southern tradition that he will appoint Negroes to first class federal positions in the South. Why, no one has been able to answer intelligently. Up to date the president-elect has said nothing which would indicate his attitude in the matter of appointments outside of his cabinet, and a good deal of this has been of a tentative nature. Henry Lincoln Johnson is on the ground, but he has nothing to say about the question of appointments. Henry Lincoln may be playing "possum"—no one knows. But he is keeping mum, just the same, and sawing wood, maybe. Dr. Emmet Scott declared he is not in politics and therefore has nothing to say about appointments. In fact everybody is up in the air on this allimportant point and the result is a political fog so dense and thick one can almost cut it with a knife. PRESCOTT By Mrs. Dora Rose Mrs. B. F. Faulkerson left Tuesday for Helena, Montana, and will be absent about six weeks. The P. S. A. C. club met last Friday with Mrs. Thomas King in North Granite street and held an interesting meeting. Mrs. F. H. Alexander read a paper that was greatly enjoyed by all. Four new members were received. The hostess served a delightful luncheon, after which the meeting adjourned to meet this week with Mrs. Bell on South Virginia street. Miss Inez Smith (Dimples) made her first round of calls Sunday, accompanied by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Smith. Mr. and Mrs. Owens are at home at 440 South Cortez street. Mrs. Owens formerly was Miss Ione Smith of Phoenix. Mr. Owens is one of the popular employees of the Santa Fe. Mrs. Suddoth says: "Our club success depends on methods and management. We must deal with women as we find them, not as we desire them to be."

Y., Jan. 27.—A few weeks ago, we learned that the name of Frederick Douglass had been rejected for the Hall of Fame and many of our men and women felt very bad because this illustrious man had not been chosen. We have the opportunity to place his name forever in the Hall of Fame at Anacostia, D. C., by making his home so beautiful that visitors from all over the world will make a beaten path to "Cedar Hill." Four years ago the trustee board of the Douglass Memorial Home sought the help of the National Association of Colored Women and in ten months we paid off the mortgage and saved the home from any further embarrassment. We did not restore, we simply redeemed, then the war came on and we could not finish the job. It called for $10,000 for restoration, and during these years, in addition to wiping off the mortgage, we have raised an additional sum towards the restoration of $4000. To completely restore the home, at least $6000 is needed, and today we are sending out what we hope will be the last appeal to club women and race men and women to fittingly celebrate the birthday of our illustrious Douglass by appropriate exercises, and by raising as large a sum as possible. Every organization or individual that contributes $25.00 will have their names written upon the parchment that will hang forever upon the walls of the home, thus showing to our children the names of men and women who desired to make of Cedar Hill our Hall of Fame. Mrs. C. J. Walker was the largest contributor and to her memory a special tablet will be erected when the home is restored. The old Board of Tuskegee will meet in Washington March 3rd at the call of their president. The board representing the National Association of Colored women will meet in Washington, March 5, 1 p. m., at Cedar Hill. We desire that both boards will meet the public on the afternoon of March 5 from 2 to 5 p. m., and every colored man and woman who comes to Washington for the inauguration may consider this as the invitation to journey to this historic place, and here let us again receive inspiration by walking thru the rooms made hallowed by the immortal Douglass. Saturday, February 12, 1921, will be known all over by loyal Race men and women as Douglass Memorial Day. Send all contributions quickly to Mrs. J. C. Napier, 120 15th avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn., that she may have her report for us by March 5, 1921. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Miss Elizabeth Carter, Mrs. Nettie L.

PRIZE HOGS RAISED BY COLORED FARMER PRIZE HOGS RAISED BY COLORED FARMER (By The Associated Negro Press) Dublin, Ga., Jan. 27.—M. N. O'Neal, a colored farmer living in Rentz, this county, has just killed four Poland China hogs whose combined weights amounted to 1286 pounds, with an average age of 18 months. O'Neal has been raising hogs for some time, and at the Oconee fair held in Dublin, won the first prize for the best display of home-made meat.

HARD TIMES John Wanamaker's advice to men at the beginning of a new year was, "Don't be blue. If I only thought of my mistakes I should be miserable all the time." Many a once prosperous man has gone down in financial ruin because he dwelt so much on his mistakes and gave way to discouragement and the blues. During the past four years the people of the United States have been spending their money recklessly, and now that it is not so easy to get money, many have begun to cry "hard times." We have no sympathy for these mourners, because it is a Divine Law of the ages that, "A wilful waste, makes a woeful want." What result, other than a period of depression, could be expected from such a lavish expenditure of good, hard cash? Times are not hard, but those who have sown the wind are reaping a whirlwind. Brooding over your mistakes will not correct them. You must arise, right-about face, and meet the world with a smile. Remember that, "It is easy enough to be pleasant, when life flows by like a song, but the man worth while is the man with a smile when everything goes dead wrong." If you acknowledge in your thought that you are a failure, that you can't do anything worth while, that luck is against you, that you don't have the same opportunity that other people have, your convictions will control the result. Every time you think you are a failure it helps you to become one, for your thought is your life pattern, and you cannot get away from your ideals, the standard which you hold for yourself. When we give expression either in thought or word to the enemies of our achievement and happiness; when we talk about hard times or our misfortunes, tell and re-tell them over and over again to others, to the exclusion of everything else, we are making more and more real the things we want to drive out of our lives. A stalwart faith in God, and in the happy outcome of life, will do more to stimulate courage and self-confidence, lubricate the creaking machinery of our daily affairs and to bring back those good old days, than anything else. Faith in God means faith in ourselves, and is the basis of all courage. We can cultivate it by aspiring to all that is noble and true, by using every possible method to improve ourselves, and by constantly thinking that we can do what we desire to do, and can be what we aspire to be. To think you can is to create the force that can.

Mr. Roundy says; in part: "Too exclusively the Negro has been thought of in terms of the domestic servant. In the right light it is an honorable distinction. At his best the domestic has belonged to the Order of the Knights of the Christian Round Table whose motto has been: 'Whoseover will be great among you let him be your servant.' He has often shown the real spirit and heart of 'The Servant in the House.' This old-time relation of life has gradually changed since the days of emancipation. Only 21 per cent of all Negroes were of this class in 1910. The movement away from domestic service has been greatly accelerated since the wartime demands in industry came upon us. Even before the great war, Negro laborers were multiplying in lumber camps, mines, iron mills, and all forms of industry in the sunny south. Increasingly also they were coming north as industrial laborers. Only in southern cotton mills did the "poor whites" reign supreme. "The coming of the war meant accelerated industry and a new day for Negro labor. Negroes were needed in great numbers in factories, mines, munition plants, docks, stockyards, freight yards and in many other places not previously entered. Negro women in greatly increased numbers found welcome also as clerks, factory hands, milliners, wrappers, checkers. Race was no hindrance when economic law made demands. A new day for the colored worker had dawned. His work was a success. The department of Negro economics of the United States government in a careful study found that "with here and there an exception the Negro workers in the matter of turnover, absentism, wage scales, quality and quantity of the work on which they are employed, compared favorably with the white workers in the same plant on the same work. Here is substantial answer to the old charge of shiftlessness or laziness." LAS CRUCES, N. M. Following are a few of the papers read at the funeral of the late Mrs. Z. Z. Johnson, wife of Rev. Z. Z. Johnson, presiding elder of the Arizona district of the C. M. E. church: Sister Z. Z. Johnson As She Was (By Rev. J. W. Kinchloe, P. C.) Sister Johnson departed this life on the evening of January 1st, 1921, at her home in this city and Rev. Kinchloe and Rev. T. C. Cook of El Paso performed the last sad rites.

H. Phillips and wife of Nashville, Tenn., $50. All the above were free will gifts which were highly appreciated by our presiding elder, Rev. Z. Z. Johnson. The death of Sister Johnson brings sadness to our hearts and it is indeed a great loss to us, but we hope and believe that our loss is Heaven's gain. Sister, Johnson was born May 15, 1862 and was married to Rev. Z. Z. Johnson in January, 1881. She was converted in the year 1881 at the Gum Springs C. M. E. church, which was on the Douglasville circuit, under the Rev. Miles S. Griffin as her pastor. For seven years she lived there with her husband and by her upright Christian life, endeared herself to the hearts of all who knew her. Later, she went with her husband to Marshall, Tex., to help him carry on his work as pastor of Miles chapel, C. M. E. church in that city. For three years she labored there with her husband, then they were sent to Abilene, Texas. Here she THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING labored successfully for 13 years and seeing that she had stood the test, God promoted her and she was taken into the ministry with her husband. Her first charge was in the town of Alamogordo, N. M., in 1902, where she helped to build a C. M. E. church. Daily, while at her work, she lived a Christian life and her daily song was: "Lord, plant my feet on higher ground." After being transferred to Carlsbad and Roswell, where she helped to build churches and for two years continued in the Faith, she, with her husband, was sent to Phoenix, Ariz., where they built the Lucy Phillips chapel, C. M. E. church, which she loved so well, and for six years worked with the people of that city and went in and out before them as an ideal Christian woman. Now as one who had given her life to Jesus and His cause, she was sent with her husband as presiding elder to Las Cruces, N. M., where for six years and six months to the day, she breathed her last, which was Jan. 1, 1921, she "lived the life." She did not fear, death in that last hour; no, for her last words were: "Come on Lord, come right now," and to her life partner and companion, Rev. Z. Z. Johnson she said: "Children, I am going home this time sure." To her pastor, she said: "Be strong in the Lord." My answer to her was: "Sleep on, Sister Johnson, sleep on, for I shall meet you in the land beyond this vale of tears. Sleep on." Sister Z. Z. Johnson As a Christian Worker By Mrs. L. L. Bradley, Secy. W. M. S. We have met here to view the remains and pay our last respects to our beloved sister, in Christ the Lord. Sister Johnson, for more than 25 years labored in the vineyard of the Lord and by her good works in the church and outside of it, brought in the sheaves to the storehouse of God. Her life has been that of a model Christian, ever faithful and ready for duty when called upon, kind, gentle and loving to all. To know her was to love her. Like Dorcas of old, she was mindful of the poor. Her work in the Missionary society was efficient and never failing. We earnestly believe her stewardship on this earth will bring her the glad message: "Thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make the ruler over many. Enter thou into the joys of the Lord." She was a devout Christian, a loving friend, a devoted wife a faithful church worker and a true child of God. We must not grieve over her because she has gone to her reward, but rather for ourselves who have been left behind. By Mrs. A. J. Brooks, Pres. W. M. S. She arrived here about six years ago and began her work. She was elected president of Phillips chapel and for two years served as a faithful officer. At the time of her death she was vice-president of the society and has always done her duty, by administering to the sick and trying to comfort those who were sad and distressed. She delighted in helping the ministers who were sent here to lift up fallen humanity, and in this she made many sacrifices. On New Year's night, this dear sister folded up her tent, stuck her sword in the ground and has gone to "study war no more." The place which she has filled so faithfully is now vacant. She has gone, but the good deeds she has done still live. In Loving Memory of Sister Z. Z. Johnson By Mrs. J. W. Kinchloe On New Year's eve at ten fifteen, Gri mdeath came riding along He stopped at Elder Johnson's home And sung his unwelcome song. That faithful wife, who for 41 years Had fought life's battle hard, Was summoned to lay down her arms And receive her just reward. We loved you, Sister Johnson, But God, He loved you best And from toil and labor called you, To a land of peace and rest. Sister Johnson, your battle is over Your mission on earth is done You ran your race with patience, And a robe and crown have won. DOUGLAS The literary society of St. James A. M. E. church, under the leadership of Mrs. N. L. Reed, is doing splendidly. The Allen Christian Endeavor, under the leadership of Mrs. L. Garrison is progressing and considerable interest is being manifested in it. Rev. S. E. Newell, pastor of the Baptist church in this city, left last week for a business visit to Tucson, and while there, was taken sick and has not been able to return. The Sunday school at the Baptist OF INTEREST TO WOMEN MRS. HOLT'S EXPERIENCE P. M. MAY, N. E. HALL In the sewing room of my own home and what I have experienced: The advice I am now giving will be helpful to those who do not know how to sew. I will be very glad to tell you how I would go about making a plain shirt waist. I first decided how I wanted my waist made by looking through my fashion book. I found a very simple waist for myself. Next I reproduced my pattern, after getting my correct measure. While making my pattern the front of the waist called for a tuck about one inch wide on each shoulder. While drafting my front, I allowed for the tuck. After finishing my pattern I cut my waist out. I cut my fronts first, allowing for my tucks. I cut my back next. My sleeves, collar and cuffs next. I made my collar and cuffs first, finishing them off with a row of stitching near edge, pressed very smooth. Next I made my fronts first by basting my tucks in about one inch, stitched them and pressed. Removed my bastings and pressed again. Finished fronts by hemming one side and facing the lapping side turned over and stitched near edge. I basted my shoulder together, making a small flat seam, stitched them, removed basting and pressed them nicely. I basted my under arm pieces together on the right side, stitched them, turned them over on the wrong side and finished with a very small French seam, then pressed them very smooth. I put my collar on next with a narrow bias strip overcasted down very smooth. I made by sleeves next, finishing them with a plain church is well attended. It is now enjoying the largest attendance in its history. There is room for more and others are invited to attend. The B. Y. P. U. is still calling for volunteers and holding out its banner with this inscription: "Whosoever will may come to God." The Home Mission sisters are kept busy as there is much sickness at present. They are having some interesting meetings and the attendance is always large. Read third chapter of St. John. Douglas soon will have a string band. Plans already are under way and we hope soon to report progress. Mrs. J. A. Taylor has been visiting her sister, Mrs. J. M. Longstreet. She returned to her home in Nogales last week. Mrs. H. Billings is here with her mother, Mrs. G. D. Goodby, who is very ill, and just as soon as she is able to stand the trip, will be taken to her old home in Marshall, Texas. Little Persilia Scales, niece of Mrs. Bally and Mrs. Thomas of 627 16th street, is on the sick list. Mrs. E. White of 802 16th street is on the sick list. Mrs. Nettie Branch has been confined to her home the past week, but is now improved. Mrs. A. Williams, mother of Ben Brown, 900 15th street, is on the sick list and plans to return to Bisbee just as soon as she has improved sufficiently.

Mrs. Bessie Mae King has quite recovered from her recent illness. COLUMBUS, N. M. By Rev. Jno. D. Fears On last Sunday, a great sand storm was raging, but the men of God were at their posts at all churches as usual. The program at Fear's Missionary Institute was grand and Rev. Hughes preached to us from the subject: "Wait Until Our Change Comes" Job was talked about and all the congregation was made to rejoice. The services at 8 p. m. were excellent and Rev. J. L. Rainey preached a strong sermon—subject: "The Last Judgment." Matt. 24 Chapter, 26th Verse. The storm outside was raging and the people were becoming frightened when Deacon J. L. Morgan was asked to lead in prayer and all fears were allayed and there was great rejoicing in the house of God. Mount Bethel is showing a spirit of progressiveness and great things are being done for the king. While some are coming into life, others are going into judgment. This great subject is now being discussed by the pastor: "If a man die, shall he live again?" cuff, set them in the waist by placing a few gathers in the sleeves, finishing them off with a simple French seam. Removed all basting and pressed smooth. I made a very small hem at the bottom of waist to run a narrow rubber through. I worked my button holes and sewed my buttons on. Removed all bastings and pressed out nicely, folded and put away for use. CLUB NOTES Miss Captola Jopps entertained the Self-Improvement Art club with a delightful four o'clock tea Monday at the beautiful home of Mrs. Frank Turner, 802 East Jefferson street. Twelve members were present and Mrs. Hudspeth was a welcome visitor. The business part of the meeting was short, but very interesting.

SEVERELY BEATEN FOR MISCONDUCT (By The Associated Negro Press) Wilson, North Carolina, Jan. 27.—One dollar and costs was the judgment imposed by Magistrate J. R. Hardy on James Elons, Bill and Edgar Artis of Black Creek, who took George Moore, white, to a cotton field and gave him a good switching without doing him serious harm, and drove him from the neighborhood. Moore formerly was a resident of Black creek, but now resides in the Spring Hope section, Nash county. For several years, he has been cohabiting with Melissa Wilkins, a black woman, who formerly lived in Black creek. He took her to her father's a few days ago, where a dance was given and Moore and she were seen eating together. On Sunday morning he was taken from her room. Defendants told him that he should "feel ashamed for putting himself on an equality" so that it was not their purpose to violate the law but that they would not stand for social equality. These falling prices are irritating to the ingenious persons who had bought a lot of goods and had stored them while waiting for a further rise. Color does not always make a Race problem. Think of the pickle our Jewish friends are in these days and times. When you owe a man money he often forgets your color. Race leaders; race movements! Too much of both!

They Are Putting the Philippines on the Map in Washington M Hon, Jalme C, de Veyra, Who Has Just Been Re-elected as Philippine Commissioner to the U. S. THE CHILDREN OF THE P The Baby of This Group Speaks Th En Permit us to present the De Veyra family. The Hon. Jaime C. de Veyra is the Resident Commissioner from the Philippine Islands to the United States and has just been elected to a second term of three years. As Resident Commissioner he has a seat on the floor of the American Congress, the privilege of taking part in debates, although no vote. Commissioner de Veyra has an interesting wife and four bright Filipino kiddies. The De Veyra family, individually and collectively, constitute the best argument as to the tact and capabilities of Filipinos that the Philippine Islands have in Washington. The commissioner is a 100 per cent Fillipino, a Visayan, and is one of the foremost leaders of the party in power in the islands. During American occupation he has been successively governor of his province, member of the Philippine legislature, cabinet member and executive secretary of the islands. Like many statesmen of the Philippines, he was originally a newspaper man. He was one of the founders of El Nuevo Dia of Cebu, the first Filipino paper published advocating Philippine independence. The paper came under the censorship of General McIntyre, and on the appearance of the first number the editors were left in the singular position of seeing every prominent article blue penciled. Mrs. de Veyra, like her husband, is a "live wire" in the Philippines' cause. She is the best known Filipina in America. She is an interesting public speaker and is constantly giving illustrated lectures at women's clubs and other gatherings. Mrs. de Veyra is a publicity bureau all in herself and has put the Philippines on the map, so far as the women folk of Washington congressional circles are concerned. "I find that the Filipino people have been much misrepresented in the Unit- SCHOOL DAYS There, that'll be plenty.

She Is Doing Important Work for Her People in America. PHILIPPINE COMMISSIONER. Free Languages—Visayan, Spanish and English. ed States," says Mrs. de Veyra. "I do not mean to infer we are perfect, for we are not. My people have most of the defects, I suppose, that other humans have, but at the same time we are far from the people that many Americans have been made to believe. Not only are we a Christian people, but our race has a history that we are not ashamed of. Throughout the Philippine Islands the people are now working earnestly to improve themselves and their conditions so they will be prepared to take over their own affairs. We all love America for giving us a chance to help ourselves and for having promised us our independence, which is one of the dearest desires of the entire citizenship of the islands." To American women whose ideas of Filipinos have been founded on Sunday supplement descriptions of wild tribes, Mrs. de Veyra's gentle manner and evident culture have been a revelation. She is sought by women's clubs because of her charming manner as an impromptu speaker on the subject nearest her heart—the women of her country. At a recent Washington gathering she gave in perfect English a concise account of the work of a woman's club in Manila which supplies milk to the babies of the poor and trains mothers to care for their young children. She told of another woman's club which has branches all over the Philippine Islands and which maintains day nurseries for the children of the working women, provides Christmas cheer for the lepers, the insane and the convicts, and gathers data to influence legislation for the benefit of Filipino women and children. The four little De Veyras, shown in the picture, having attended the public schools in Manila, slipped right into the same grades in the schools of Washington. Even little Mary, the baby of the family, speaks three languages—her native tongue, Spanish and English. 30 hearts formed the centerpiece hanging from lights over dining room table.

TOLLOF CARELESSNESS Fifteen thousand people were killed last year in motor car accidents, according to statistics. In addition to this, there were 150,000 others more or less seriously injured. These figures should cause very serious thought, for they mean that 41 persons each day, almost one in every hour of the day and night, paid with their lives in motor car accidents for the carelessness of some one. With the number of motor cars growing rapidly and the streets becoming more congested, this startling toll of death and injury seems certain to increase.—Arizona Republican. ARE YOU PROTECTED?

TEN GOOD WAYS TO KILL ANY SOCIETY. ARE YOU ONE OF THESE 1. Don't attend the meetings. 2. If you do come, always come late. 3. If the weather don't suit you, or you cannot find a rent car, don't think of coming. 4. If you do attend, find fault with the work of the officers and other members. 5. Never accept office, as it is easier to criticize than do things. 6. Nevertheless, always get sore if you are not appointed on the committee, but if you are, do not attend committee meetings. 7. If asked by the chairman to give your opinion on some matter, tell him you have nothing to say. But after the meeting is over tell everyone how things ought to be done. 8. Do nothing more than is absolutely necessary, but when members roll up their sleeves and willingly, unselfishly use their ability and time to help matters along, howl that the organization is run by a clique. 9. Hold back your dues as long as possible, or don't pay at all. 10. Don't bother about getting new members, "Let George Do It." In conclusion be a bromide.

The study of contracts is by far the most important, as well as most extensive subject of the law. No relation of a business character nor of a transaction involving a duty to pay another for some benefit received, or to recompense one for some injury done him, no obtaining or accepting values from another (except by voluntary gift) that does not actually or impliedly by operation of law, constitute a contract that is legally enforceable accordingly. Therefore the importance of a clear and accurate knowledge of legal responsibilities and duties, out of which contractural obligations spring and by which they are created and of the legal essential of valid contracts is highly necessary.

This expresses all there is to a contract; anything less than this—that is, the omission of one of these factors will not constitute a legally valid contract enforceable by law.
