GO TO HIGH SCHOOL AND GO TO COLLEGE CAMPAIGN NOW ON Washington, D. C., May 11. "Go to High School—Go to College" is the message being delivered this week to the Colored students of America by the members and friends of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Starting with the observance of Educational Sunday, April 29th, and continuing through the week with conferences with parents, teachers and students, and with visits to homes and special communications to leaders asking cooperation, this educational campaign will end in a great mass meeting in the various large cities of the country on Sunday, May 6th, at which addresses will be made by outstanding educational leaders. This year marks the fourth annual campaign to spread the gospel of "Go to High School—Go to College" among the youth of our race. From all indications, this important message will be carried to every State in the Union as there are now some 45 chapters of the Alpha Phi Alpha with members in practically every city of importance in the United States. The goal of the Fraternity is to reach over Three Million parents and students with the fundamental message regarding the need of education. Phoenix Tribune key 10 Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes GRAVE CHARGES MADE BY BISHOP VERNON OF THE A.M.E. CHURCH Philadelphia, Pa., May.—Where is the $15,000 appropriated by the A. M. E. church for work in Africa? Missionary leaders of the denomination thought that $5,000 of it had been sent to Bishop W. T. Vernon in charge of the A. M. E. church work in South Africa. Members of the denomination thought he had also received $10,000 appropriated by the last General Conference for the South African work. Has Not Received a Penny In a letter to the Christian Recorder, official journal of the denomination, last week Bishop Vernon denies receiving a penny of this sum during the nearly three years he spent in South Africa before returning home recently ill. Although he begged for the money to carry on the work, Bishop Vernon said, it was withheld. Publication of this letter created a sensation. Accuses Bishop Beckett ACCUSES Bishop Beckett Bishop Vernon charges that $5,000 of the missing fund is held by Bishop W. W. Beckett, 200 Adelphi street, Broklyn, N. Y., formerly in charge of South African field and now head of the Missionary Department of the Church, since an alleged shortage was discovered in the funds of a former missions secretary. Bishop Vernon made public the following letter from Bishop Beckett when asked to turn over the money in October, 1918. "Relative to the money I collected to build the church in Cape Town, South Africa. * * It is now on interest in a Trust Company and will not be available until April 7th, 1921. I do not see the necessity of making such a desperate effort to collect that which already has been collected? Which is only about one fourth or less of the amount required to do the work. When this money is available it will be turned over to the Missionary Society from which I received it." Bishop Vernon declared Bishop Beckett suggested privately that the latter be allowed to hold the money... Similarly Bishop Vernon charges John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the denomination with offices in Washington with holding up and refusing to pay out $10,000 appropriated by the church at the last General Conference for South African missions. Not only did he fail to receive any of this money while in Africa, Bishop Vernon says, but "He has given me first one excuse and then another." Mr. Hawkins besides being financial secretary of the church is also connected with one of the D. C. banks. Flays Absenteeism Referring to Bishop Beckett's absenteeism while on the South African field, Bishop Vernon said "Men who are unwilling to go or who are unwilling to stay and perform their duties in mission fields ought not be permitted to hamper those who are permitted to go and stay. The A. M. E. church is facing either reform or revolution. I am against revolution, but will stand with the reformers." GRAND CHAPTER O. E. 8.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1923 MASONS OF ARIZONA IN FOURTH ANNUAL GRAND COMMUNICATION The Most Worshipful Sovereign Grand Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, of Arizona Jurisdiction presided over by Grand Master William P. Crump, held a record-breaking session in the city last week. This fourth annual communication of the Grand Lodge, has gone down in history as the most harmonious and instructive session in the history of the order in this state. Preliminary to the meeting of the Grand Lodge, which was attended by more than 35 representatives from subordinate Masonic lodges in the state. a union service was held Sunday night at the A. M. E. church. After the invocation by Grand Chaplain Allen Smith, welcome address by M. A. White, W. M. of Salt Valley Lodge No. 4, response by S. H. Hill, Deputy G. m., remarks by I. W. Hayes, P. G. M., and Clay C. Credille, Grand Patron, O. E. S., the principal address was delivered by Grand Master Wm P.Crump whose sound logic, ready wit and matchless eloquence, electrified and thrilled the audience. As an orator, Grand Master Crump is in a class to himself, and the brilliant address he delivered Sunday night, impressed the audience with the wisdom manifested by his brethern in selecting such a capable, eloquent and representative man to preside over and shape the destiny of the Masonic Order in Arizona. The Grand Session opened Monday morning May 7 at 10 o'clock in the hall of Salt Valley Lodge No. 4, with Grand Master Crump presiding. The morning session was taken up with the appointment of committees and other routine business. The afternoon session was enlivened by the annual address of the Grand Master, report of the Grand Secretary, Clay Gredille, report of Grand Treasurer Jacob Tull, report of Grand Lecturer A. M. Carter an able address by Grand Orator D. J. Todd and other important business. The address of the Grand Master showed a wide range of thought, covering his work among the subordinate lodges in the Jurisdiction during the past year and offering many helpful suggestions and recommendations for strengthening the Masonic Order in Arizona. The Grand Secretary's report showed the Order to be in a healthy financial condition, comparing favorably with Grand Bodies much older than the one in Arizona. The Grand Treasurer's report and also that of the Grand Trustees, tallied to the fraction of a cent with that of the Grand Secretary. Grand Lecturer Carter's report showed that during the past year, he had visited all the lodges in the Jurisdiction and instructed them in the work. His report, like that of the Grand Master's, showed all the lodges in fine condition. Grand Orator Todd's address was a gem of rhetorical excellence, scintillating with profound logic and deep significance. The evening session was devoted to the reading of the reports of the various committees and other business of more or less importance. Tuesday, the second day of the Grand Session, witnessed the election of the Grand Officers for the ensuing year. Grand Master William P. Crump was unanimously elected to succeed himself as head of the Colored Masonic Lodges in Arizona.

He has been a resident of Arizona for Twenty-five years. 2000 KU KLUX KLAN Hooded Order Operates Openly From Downtown Headquarters Without Fear Of Molestation. Los Angeles, Calif. May—(Pacific Coast News Bureau.) Wielding considerable influence thru intimidation of certain politicians, the Ku Klux Klan has become a factor to be considered in California. Operating openly from Room 20 Walker Theatre Building. Grand Ave., Los Angeles, the Klan is carrying on its membership drive and spreading of propaganda throughout the entire state. 2000 Candidates Initiated On a hill top within a few miles of Los Angeles, a recent ceremony was held in which 2000 candidates were admitted to the order. As a means of publicity the services were conducted at night inside a roped circle 400 feet in diameter. In the center and elevated 100 feet in the air was a hugh electric lighted cross whose light attracted thousands of autoists and nearby residents. To insure press publicity, a staff photographer of the one of the big dalles, was an invited guest In the councilmatic election of May 2, Titus Alexander and Booker T. Washington, Jr, colored candidates were defeated. Alexander running as an anti-Klan candidate, was defeated by only a few thousand votes, the result of the Klan opposition and the split of the Negro vote. the Grand Master introduced Rev. S. E. Newell, erudite scholar and an orator of no mean ability who delivered a masterful address on the subject: "Unity in Freemasonry". Past Master Wm Jones of the Alabama Jurisdiction was next introduced and made one of the most eloquent, interesting and instructive addresses ever heard in this hall. He chose for his subject; "Freemasonry In Arizona", and his discourse showed that he had given much time and thought to the subject. Past Senior Grand Warden, Daniel Roberts of Los Angeles who made a great sacrifice in order to attend this session of the Grand Lodge which he was instrumental in helping organize and of which he is still a member, was next introduced and made a few timely remarks. Roy Parker, a visiting brother from the Illinois Jurisdiction was next introduced and made a short but interesting talk. After thanking the members of the Jurisdiction for their loyalty during the past year, Grand Master Crump spoke a few words of advice as a parting injunction and closed the Grand Lodge, to meet the first Monday in May, 1924 in Prescott, Arizona. Grand reception Friday night at the A. H. A. hall, 4th street and East Jefferson, was the Grand Finale of one of the most successful Communications of the Most Worshipful Sovereign Grand Lodge, F. & A. M., Arizona and Jurisdiction, ever held since its organization. JOHN MITCHELL, JR. IS SENTENCED TO 3 YEARS IN THE PENITENTIARY JOHN MITCHELL, JR. IS SENTENCED TO 3 YEARS IN THE PENITENTIARY RICHMOND, Va., May. — John Mitchell, Jr. banker and fraternal man of this city was convicted by a jury who rendered a verdict of guilty and fixed his sentence at three years in the penitentiary in connection with the failure of the Mechanics Savings Bank. It is understood that Mitchell will appeal the case as there is a general feeling that racial prejudice figured in the case. Mitchell is a national character, having at one time aspired and was a candidate for governor of his state. He has the reputation of being one of the leading bankers of the country. He was for a long time the only member of his Race associated with the American Bankers association. He founded the bank, of which he was head, and is also editor of the Richmond Planet. He is at present a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (London), member of the National Geographical society, and of the American Society of the Advancement of Science. He was at one time grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Virginia, but a recent court injunction dethroned him in favor of the national body. ONENESS OF SPIRIT The following paper was read by Mrs. Julia Shannon of 121 South 1st street at the Women's meeting of the Executive Board of the Progressive Missionary Baptist Association which met April 25 to 29 with Antioch Baptist church in Phoenix. The article follows: When I was asked to write a paper, I thought the best subject for me to use was the one that was uppermost in my mind—Oleness. This is a time of so much misunderstanding, dissatisfaction and general unrest, it seems we are at a crisis or the end of our rope. At the end of our Savior's life, He prayed that His followers be one as He and His Father were one. Sin severed man from God and He gave His Son that we might have life. Jesus said: "I lay down my life for your sake." Can you see how closely He and His Father were connected? The Savior's greatest desire was that we be brought to oneness with God, and we can only be so through Jesus. The slightest desire of our Savior should claim our attention. Oneness is by no means a small thing. 'Twas the sole purpose of His birth, life, and even His death to bring man to oneness of spirit. O what pain, persecution and disgrace He suffered that we all be one. Do we realize how necessary it is for us as followers of Jesus to be one, one destiny, one goal. I would just love to read to you the 15th chapter of St. John; but you say, "O I know that." Then, we are forced to ask, are you a doer of the word? "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch and is withered. Oneness with Him means, growth, strength and fruit-bearing. What are we getting Weakness, men and women will not hear us; Withered, we have no power with God; Barren, we are not bringing forth much fruit? The church, some say, is a body of Baptised believers in Christ Jesus. Think, what a large body and so many branches—enough to protect the world if the branches were connected with the body which is Christ. I wish I could show you this picture Everyone who professes to be of Christ's body, standing together, making one great pull against the stronghold of satan. Can you imagine anything standing out against such an effort when all power is given unto Him and we in Him and He is us? "Ask what ye will and you shall receive." Are you asking for what I want? Do you want what I ask for Are we of one accord. Oneness means everything that is right and good for the followers of Him. Why will we sever ourselves from Him when He is such help and consolation? Oneness with Him is all that's profitable. O for that oneness of spirit that we might conquer satan through Christ. What is the object of this organization? That the world be made one with God through Jesus Christ who lives in us and we in Him. Can I love my feet and hate my hands? No, because both are a part of me. So you GROUP OF WHITES IN LOUISIANA SAY THAT LYNCHING MUST GO Prominent white women of Louisiana, working through the commission on Interracial Cooperation, have issued a statement denouncing lynching and mob violence, and repudiating mob murder as a "protection" to womanhood, according ao a report forwarded by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The statement from the white women of Louisiana follows similar statements from prominent groups of white women in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Texas, North Carolina and other Southern states. The paragraph on lynching in the Louisiana women's statement is as follows: "We register herewith our protest against the barbaric custom of lynching, which arouses violent and unchristian passions, brings law into disrepute, is inhumane and brutal, and unknown outside of our own land of America. We hold that no circumstances can ever justify such violent disregard for law and that it no instance is it an exhibition of collaric consideration and honor of womanhood." In connection with the above utterance, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People issued the following statement: "The white women of the South are themselves driving the last coffin nail into the untrue statement that Lynching protects womannood. Lynching having been deprived of every last vestige of excuse and pretense at justification, there remains only to end this evil once and for all in America. This we hope will be accomplished through the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill which is to be reintroduced in the next session of Congress." see we have to love one another to be one with Him. He was so kind even to those who abused Him because He loved them, being one with God His Father, God's word draws all and drives none. What a great, kind and loving Savior the world would see if we all were lifting Him up with that oneness of spirit He so earnestly prayed that we might have. Do we see so that it we have not the spirit of Christ we are none of the. Suppose we all with one accord said with our way and action 'Get their hence', so Saten when, he cared to offer his temptations? He is the cause of our weakness. He keeps us from being one with God and with each other. The world would be made better each day if those who profess to know Jesus, only had that oneness of spirit which is offered to all every day we live. COLORED ASSEMBLYMAN PRESIDES AT CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE Frederick M. Roberts Applauded As He Wields Gavel At State Legislature. For the first time in the history of California and the entire West, a Neo-president over the State Legislature during the debate over one of the most important measures to come up before the California legislature, when Frederick M. Roberts, assemblyman from the seventy-fourth district in the city of Los Angeles, and the only colored member in either house, recently was called to the chair in the debate on the three quarters jury bill. When Speaker Merriam called upon Mr. Roberts to assume the gavel, the colored assemblyman, who is serving his third session as an assemblyman, was greeted with applause from his fellow members. Roberts Bill Passes The preceeding day, the assembly passed and sent to the Senate the following bill introduced by Assemblyman Roberts: "To require booking officers at prisons to give receipt for property taken from prisoners at time of arrest." Man comes into this world with nothing on him, but Col. Lou Wharton says, in a short time everybody has something on him. A certain absent minded Walnut Hills man threw his clothes on the bed and carefully laid himself over the back of a chair. Race prejudice is bound to way before the influence, poster, education and wealth. These are necessary to the growth of our race. Without wealth there can be no leisure, without leisure there can be no thought, and without thought there can be no progress. Booker T. Washington. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year METHODIST WOMEN IN SOUTH DECLARE WAR ON LYNCHING Mobile, Ala., May. (Special):—Plans for an aggressive South-wide campaign against lynching were formulated here last week by the Woman's Missionary Council of the M. E. Church, South, which went on record in unmeasured condemnation of mob violence and called upon the authorities, the pulpit, the press and all good people to unite for its suppression. The following resolutions were adopted by unanimous vote: "Whereas, the defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill has thrown back upon each State the whole responsibility for removing this hideous crime; therefore, "Be It Resolved; That the Woman's Missionary Council of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in annual session in Mobile, Ala., April 4-11, 1923, do now demand of the authorities of the several states that they make good their claim of the right of local self-government by proving their competency to abolish mob violence and lynching. "That as citizens we assume our responsibility for the protection of human life and hereby call upon all the people of all the States, upon the pulpit and the press, to join against these barbarous practices. A plan was adopted for enlisting, in an intelligent, systematic anti-lynching campaign, the 6000 local organizations affiliated with the Council, which have an aggregate membership of nearly 250,000 of the South's most influential women. The plan provides for a study of lynching on the part of each local society, for the effort to secure in each state such special legislation on this subject as may be needed, for vigilance in the prevention of mob violence, for active cooperation with officials in bringing the members of mobs to justice, and for a sustained effort to develop in each community a spirit of good will that make such crimes impossible. In pursuance of these ends, the societies will seek the cooperation of all other religious and civic groups. The Council pledged to the campaign both moral and financial support. Mrs. Luke Johnson, who is director of Woman's Work in the Southern Commission on Interracial Cooperation, was reelected chairman of the Council's Commission on Race Relations. Southern Methodist women, led by the late Miss Belle H. Bennett, have for a number of years been deeply interested in the Christianizing of race relations and have been doing very effective work to that end. COLORED MASONS OF ST. LOUIS TO BUILD $300,000 TEMPLE St. Louis, Mo., May—Plans were completed during the past week for the new five story Masonic building to be erected at the Northwest corner of Pendleton and Finney Avenues, by the Masonic Hall Association, under the jurisdiction of the various lodges in St. Louis, representing three thousand men and twenty-two thousand women. The building will cover a plot of ground which attends 184 feet on Finney and 145 on Pendleton. The preliminary plans are being drawn by William W. Cooke, a well known Colored architect at Gary, Ind. The building, when completed, will be the finest owned by Colored Masons in America. The architectural drawing provides for ten to fourteen store rooms on the ground floor and a large hall which can be used for dances, having a floor space of 8500 square feet or a measurement of 85 by 100 feet. The second floor will have a spacious auditorium including stage and several office suites. The third floor will be arranged entirely for office rentage. The fourth and fifth floors will be occupied by the various local masonic lodges. This is the biggest building plan in the history of St. Louis Negropes. Arrangements have not been made for the ground breaking. With regard to Mr. Harding's ambition to break the Solid South, Leslie Tull says he'd like to remind him that the boll-weevil has been trying to do it for 15 years.

It is not sufficient for any form of ceremonies, if such may be considered necessary. Mother's Day is every day, and every son and daughter who loves and respects his or her mother should be as prompt in manifesting that love, honor and respect on one day as upon another. Let there 365 Mothers' Days in each year, and let every child born in American be taught to love, honor and respect that mother who gave him birth on each and every day of the 365 days of the calendar year. Let mother love be constant, and let every one do his duty in a thousand ways to make mother realize that she is queen of hearts every day in the year. EDITOR GETS IN BAD An Oklahoma editor just about to go to press "pied" a couple of articles, one concerning a public sale, and the other a write-up of a wedding. He asked the office devil to get the two articles together—and he did—but here is how he put the two together, and the mixture was not known to the editor until an angry preacher and the mother of the bride appeared on the scene: "William Smith and Miss Lucy Anderson were disposed of at a public auction at my barn one mile west of a beautiful cluster of roses on her breast and two white calves before a background of farm implements too numeruos to mention in the presence of about seventy guests including two milk cows, six mules, and one bobsled. Rev. Jackson tied the nuptial knot with 200 feet of hay rope and the bridal couple left on one John Deere gang-plow for an extended trip with terms to suit purchasers. They will be at home to their friends with one good baby buggy and a few kitchen utensils after ten months from date of sale to responsible parties and some 50 chickens." THE MINISTER'S DUTY We recently overheard a group of men discussing preachers and their duties. The concensus of opinion was that the minister had an easy snap job. However, in our opinion, this group of men had reached the wrong conclusion, for we take it that the modern preacher has a job which takes a big man to fill. In fact, it is a job that does not always lie in preaching. While the preacher's first task, is preaching, he must know how to preach. The world is as willing as ever to listen to the man with a message. The minister who is really called of God is recognized by men as one speaking with authority, with the holy unction. The minister is an executive and his office is one that offers an almost unlimited field for the exercise of executive ability; he must be an adept at organizing men, resources and interests in the continuous direction of this increasing organization. Year after year, demands that the minister be an executive of no mean ability. He is of necessity a pastor; the faithful friend of the people. He must know the hearts of his people; he must carry the burden of others. The pastoral task of the modern minister offers a big field for the expression of consecrated friendship and sympathy and in that capacity he can do a world of good for the elevation and christianization of the people. And in this station, we fail to see the "easy snap.—Exchange. The chances are that the man who doesn't live within his present income won't be able to live within it when it grows larger.—Detroit Free Press. There is more fatigue in laziness than in labor. Someone has said: "It's the things we don't do that tire us most. The income tax shows where the money comes from and then sets us all wondering where it goes to. Where you find conceit it is folly to look for much of anything else. No one has yet invented an alarm clock that can arouse indifference. The trouble is that a lot of folks get married who should never have even become engaged. Indifference is the hardest obstacle progress has to overcome. Knowledge and timber should be seasoned before using. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING Week Day Sermonette BY H. T. S. JOHNSON, Interracial Secretary for Oklahoma THE CASTING OUT OF FEAR Luke 12:32: "Dismiss your fears, little flock: your Father finds a pleasure in giving you the kingdom." If I were asked to name one emotion which every man feels I would unhestitatingly name "fear." You are acquainted with fear, no matter who you are. Christian or heathen, white or black, you are afraid of something. It is so now, it was so when Christ delivered the message from which we quote today. For the benefit of his hearers and for the benefit of all mankind, Jesus said: "Dismiss your fears, little flock: your Father finds a pleasure in giving you the kingdom." 1. Dismiss your fears of sickness. The average man is in daily fear of sickness. Many people bring on disease by using all sorts of patent medicines to prevent disease. Men have become multi-millionaires as manufacturers of patent nostroms, because the public feared sickness. Many people think themselves into the sick-bed and, in many cases, to the grave. Most people who are sick are sick mentally. If men generally would "dismiss their fears" of sickness, the human family would be as healthy as brute families. Coueism is a fact because the health suggestions which it recomemnds dismiss the fear of disease. 2. "Dismiss your fear" of death. Some people get very little joy out of life because of the fear of death. Constantly they are thinking of death as a monster lurking at their heels. This takes the joy out of life for too many people. "Dismiss your fears" of death by seeing death as something other than "the black camel which kneels at every man's gate," "a leap in the dark," "a cruel monster." Think of it rather as "the gate to endless joy," "the friend who relieves us of all care, sorrow, sickness, pain and death," the guide who leads to a home blessed with so many advantages that "eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard, nor hath it entered into the heart of man the things which God hath in store for them that lovie Him." Become reconciled with God, continue that relation, and there will be no need to fear death. 3. "Dismiss your fears" of poverty. O, how we dread being poor. So great is our fear of poverty that we focalize thought and energy upon the accumulation of wealth. Thus one may succeed in the getting of things but he often sacrifices that which is far better. The average person cannot get wealth and keep an abiding interest in things eternal. Instead of getting wealth, wealth gets him. The fear of poverty makes many men resort to corrupt practices which cost them character, the association of good people, helpful example before their children, and a home in heaven. The price is too great. Better far to take comfort in the fact that the God who feeds the birds of the air and clothes the lilies of the field beyond the magnificence of Solomon, will surely care for His human children for whose redemption He gave His "only begotten son." 4. "Dismis your fears" of the success of others. This fear makes for individual strife and race conflict. It has its ground in envy. It made the first murderer and has been the cause of multitudinous murders ever since. The strife between man and man, the fight between capital and labor, the ever-present conflict between race and race, would not exist except for the fear men have of the success of others. The panacea for all these fears lies in the practice of brotherhood. Brotherhood cannot be practiced without interracial co-operation. In proportion as this is done will mutual respect and good will obtain. Frequent association will ripen into love and "love casteth out fear." SAM LANGFORD ADDS ANOTHER TITLE TO HIS LIST—DOWNS CHAMPION OF SPAIN Mexico, City, Mex.—May 11.—Sam Langford, the veteran American Negro fighter of 20 years activity, has within the last thirty days acquired the titles of heavy-weight champion of Mexico and Spain. A few weeks ago Kid Savage the champion of Mexico met defeat at the hands of the veteran Negro. Last week the idol of Spain was disposed of in the sixth round. Before an immense audience in the El Toreo bull ring, Sam Langford defeated Andrea Balsa, the heavy-weight champion of Spain, in the sixth round of what was scheduled to be a finished fight. Langford received a rousing reception. Kid Savage was at the ringside and issued a challenge to the winner; however from the neat manner in which Langford disposed of the two champions there is but little hope of a return match or a likely candidate for Champion Langford.

C., May 10.—Charles Price, convicted killing Robert Smith, on May 30, 1918, walked to his doom in payment of the penalty for his crime on the gallows at the district jail Thursday morning with a hymn on his lips.

The crime for which Price was hanged last Tuesday, it is said was committed after he, Smith and other had quarrelled over the payment for a bottle of whiskey in a house in Cullinane's Court southwest. Owing to many appeals granted counsel for the convicted man, Price's execution was repeatedly postponed, until it lacked only a few days of being five years since the deed was committed.

Mrs. Wallace read a paper on the subject: "Is Mission Work a Choice or an Obligation?", and it has been commented on favorably by many. Mrs. Shannon's paper dealt with The "Oneness of Spirit", and is produced elsewhere in this issue. Other numbers on the program deserve mention but space forbids further comment on this subject. On the opening day the devotional exercises were led by Deacons Goodlow and Haughton of the local Antioch Baptist church. A feature of the meeting was the big free dinner served at the church on Sunday, April 29. This is something known only to true southerners who know how to show genuine hospitality. Rev. Gilmore, pastor of the local Antioch Baptist church, his officers and members are to be congratulated on the success of the meeting and for the satisfactory manner in which they entertained the visitors Mr. and Mrs. Robert Williams of 1222 East Madison street are having an addition built to their home, the interior decorated and other substantial improvements.

Too Numerous To Mention Automobiles purchased by colored people in Phoenix since our last issue, are too numerous to mention.

The company was organized by Herbert E. Miles, formerly president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States; Hans Rieg, formerly chief of the foreign language division of the United States Treasury Department; William L. White, president of White & White; J. B. Allay, president of the Real Estate Finance Corporation; Hiram Barney of the firm of Barney & Pruyn, lawyers, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. The company's methods are a combination of those of the Federal Reserve System and the Morris plan. The plan of the organization is to form a subsidiary in any section in which a sufficient number of new dwellings are needed to permit the scheme to be profitable. Such subsidiaries have been formed in Kansas City, Mo.; Washington, D.C.; and two States in the West. "The applicant is carefully investigated. Following this investigation is determined the cost of a home that he can carry without undue financial stress. "After that is determined and he has secured two co-indorsers there are laid before the applicant ten different designs of houses from which he can make a selection. "When the applicant has decided on the type of dwelling bus. suited to his needs, he pays down 10 per cent of the total cost. "If the applicant owns a lot, the lot is substituted for the cash payment. "If he does not own a lot, a lot suitable to him will be bought for him by the subsidiary company "The amount of money in addition to the down payment of $500 necessary for the purchase will be advanced by the subsidiary company. "In the construction work all standardized materials will be bought by the parent company at wholesale prices and shipped to the local contractor, who will have the actual work of construction. "When the house is completed and the owner has moved in, a monthly payment of 1 per cent of the total cost, in this case $50 a month, will start. "Fire and life insurance, the latter taken out on the group insurance basis, plus 10 per cent of the cost of construction, is added to the principal, but it is at all times arranged so that such charges, plus the actual construction cost, will never exceed the originally determined price range. "The $50 payment a month takes care of all interest charges and the remainder is applied to the amortization of the second mortgage. "On a $5000 house this would be $1500 and the first mortgage would amount to $3000. The second mortgage under our plan is paid off in a little less than forty-eight months. "The owner can then apply the money for the reduction of the first mortgage or can continue the first mortgage at 6 per cent interest a year." 50 GOOD CIGARETTES 10¢ GENUINE "BULL" DURHAM TOBACCO PAGE THREE NOTICE Spring time is here.
