The RACES TO BE HELD AT FAIR GROUNDS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS TO TAKE PART Friday, May 18th General Admission to all Children And Adults, 10 Cents The races committee composed of the principals of the public schools and representatives of the Urban League, has decided to hold the school children's races and the threat patriotic demonstration at the Fair Grounds, south of Granger Tract, on Friday May 18th. A five cent street car fare will be secure the same as to the base ball park and admission to all will be ten cents. Aside from the races themselves the kindergarten, schools and the playgrounds will, entertain the little folks with folk dances, folk-songs and tableaux. The pageants by the larger girls and the May-pole dances by several groups of the smaller girls are expected to be very interesting, as will be certain military drills, executed by groups in several of the schools and dressed in the national colors. Prof. R. W. Gadsden will conduct the music for the occasion. The music will embrace the several national airs and the National Negro Hymn, all led by a brass band. All children and visitors will wear the national colors and the national flag. Preceding the exercise, the officers and members of the various societies fraternal organizations and business enterprises, will parade in carriages and automobiles through the streets. Mr. J. C. Lindsay is chairman of a committee for this purpose. He will be assisted by Mr. E. H. Burke and Mr. J. A. Monroe. Messrs. Butler and Middleton are charged with the program arrangements and the direction of the many committees, an account of which is published elsewhere in The Tribune. Misses Helen Lee, Lucille Spencer and Mrs. Emma Swangin will arrange the details of the folk dances and displays. The Fairground with its race course, parking space, grand stand, buildings, grassy plots and public comfort buildings is admirably suited for the races. There can be more freedom for the great crowds which attend the races. Ample car provision can be made, owing to the spur-tracks and a five cent fare can be had as at the former scene of the races. The occasion will be one of general holiday and jollification. All colored Savannah will turn out and close up business. Supt. Gibson has promised the same cordial co-operation which the school has given in former years. We expect to overshadow the attendance record of last year when 7,300 persons paid to go through the gates. Prizes will be offered the contestants as formerly. For Boys The following are the running events to be pulled off: 50yd dash.....60 to 70 lbs 75 yr dash.....70 to 80 lbs 100 yd dash.....80 to 90 lbs 220 yd dash.....90 to 100 lbs 120 hurdle.....100 to 110 lbs 220 hurdle, open. 1 mile relay.....1st to 6 gradee .1 mile run.....1st to 6 grade For Girls 45 yd dash.....50 to 60 lbs 60 ydy dash.....70 to 80 lbs 50 yd dash.....60 to 70 lbs Quarter mile relay 75 yd dash.....80 to 90 lbs MOORE AND RUSSEL DRAW Scott Moore, one of the best lightweights in this section of the country, and Jack Russell of Montgomery, Ala., fought a ten round draw Wednesday night at the Air Dome. Neither boy was hurt much in grilling and both emerged from the contest without showing any signs of the clean scrap. Most of the leading was done by the Savannah boy who kept constantly after the rope playing Alabamian. The decision of the referee was a popular one to the small but appreciative audience. Russel is remaining in the city for a bout Wednesday night with Barbershop Williams, one of the toughest boys of this city. The scrap will take place at the Air Dome and no doubt a large crowd will be present to see these two fast boys mix it up. Admission 25 and 50 cents. VOLUME XXXII WRITES MAYOR ON NEGRO MIGRATION J. C. Lindsay Reiterates Necessity of Mixed Conference J. C. Lindsay, writer of the weekly Negro Business League letters in The Tribune, took occasion Tuesday to write Mayor Pierpont on the subject of Negro migration, which received some attention from the mayor last week in an interview in one of the daily papers in which the latter, observing the necessity of steming the great tide of Negro labor which has been moving to the northern states for some time, stated that he had written the heads of certain southern cities on the matter and called their attention to the fact that a stop should be put to this steady out go of labor, Mr. Lindsay re iterated in the letter what he has said in The Tribune several times recently and what was emphasized in a publication this week by Prof. H. Pearson of the Ga. State College, the great migration movement might be very materially decreased by a more thorough understanding between leading white and colored citizens brought about by frequent conferences. The following is the letter sent the mayor by Mr. Lindsay: Savannah, Ga., May 1, 1917. "Hon W. J. Pierpont, Mayor" "Savannah, Ga." "Referring to your remarks in an interview, on Friday afternoon, April 27th, in the Savannah Press, concerning the migration of Negroes of the South to some other section of the country, in which you are quoted as saying "I have written President Hyde of the Association of Mayors of the South Atlantic and Gulf States, asking that the association give the matter consideration, suggesting some means of putting a stop to it." I wish to state, to you, as the executive and honored head of this great southern municipality, along with all other men who love this section of our country, matters not what the color of their skin might be, cannot fall to see that something more than writing letters to one of the parties concerned in this great migratory movement of the south's best and strongest laborers to other sections of our country, must be done. "In our Negro Business League weekly letter, in The Savannah Tribune, for more than nine months, we have called attention to the importance of the fair minded white men in every community where live any appreciable number of Negroes, to the fact that Negroes in all such communities should be assured thru their representatives, that the ruling class of white men in the South would see to it that the South would accord to them just as good treatment. in every respect as would be given them in any other section of the country, east, west or north. "The Negro Business League welcomes most heartily the cordial cooperation which it is now receiving in its contention along this line upon which it has been struggling for nearly a year. "Not only are the Negro newspapers and magazines of other communities and cities aiding us in our efforts to cause the ruling class of white people of the south to see and feel the importance of calling a meeting of the representative Negroes together to join with them in a free and fair discussion of this much mooted and vexing problem, but on Monday afternoon, April 30th, a certain professor, in one of the Negro schools of this community, came boldly to the front in a splendid article, indorsing all of the things which the Negro Business League has been advocating in its weekly letter for nearly a whole year. "Mr. Mayor, to verify our contention in this regard, we are handing you herewith, two clippings of our weekly letter in the Savannah Tribune, under dates of April 7th and April 28th, both of which will speak for themselves. "The caption under which the Savannah Press quotes you, Mr. Mayor, is "Mayor Pierpont Wants Colored Labor to Stay." Again Mr. Mayor, we beg to suggest, that a meeting with the Negro men in every community in whom the common people confide, would mean more in the solution of this complexed migration problem than many letters written to mayors away from the various places in which this trouble is now so prevalent. "Yours to command, the local branch of the National Negro Business League. J. C. Lindsay, Chairman Executive Board, Negro Business League. The reply sent to Mr. Lindsay to Savannah Tribune. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MAY 5, 1917 NEGRO BABY WELFARE WEEK TO BE OBSERVED HERE BEGINNING MONDAY URBAN LEAGUE WILL STAG E EXHIBITS AT THE CUYLER STREET PUBLIC SCHOOL Doctors Will Address Gatherings Each Day Parents of School Children Urged to Witness Exhibits—Interesting Program Rendered Each Afternoon The colored people of Savannah and Chatham county, through the Urban League will make a big occasion of Baby Welfare Week. If possible, the importance and splendor of this exhibit will eclipse the celebration of National Negro Health Week. truths of baby care and child rearing Mrs. Geo. S. Williams, general chair man, has things well in hand. With the short time at her disposal, she with her committee, is busy appointing the various committees to look after the special phases of the work. All th Preparations are being made to install the highly valuable and picturque exhibits of the Savannah Health Department, The Department at New York and those of local white organizations and individuals, in the large dining room at Cuyler Street School, beginning Mouday morning. Here, they will be viewed by thousands of men, women and children. Monday May 7th will be West Broad Street school; Tuesday, May 8th, East Broad Street school day; Wednesday, May 9th, Maple Street school day; Thursday May 10, Cuyler Street School and Friday May 11th Beach Swangin and private schools day. On each afternoon a physician will lecture on some topic pertaining to Baby Welfare, while another will explain the charts on baby health and mortality statistics. The charts are well conceived and admirably significant of the high mortality—the almost unnecessary illness and death—of colored children. The charts, prepared at the local Health Department by Dr. V. H. Basset and his assistant. Miss Van Decurde, are unusually well-designed and impressing. There are numerous adjects to the charts in the way of economical devices for feeding, caring for food, caring for babies, seething food, icecel refrigerator, etc. Consplenuous among the collateral exhibits is that of the two housekeepers, Mrs. Careful and Mrs. Careless, the one exhibiting industry and care, the other shilllessness and its consequent of filth, dirt and disease. It would be useless to try to give an adequate idea of the great exhibit. One must see it for himself. One Negro baby out of every six dies before reaching his first birthday, while one white child out of every twenty-four dies during the same period. Thirty Negro children died of stomach complaint last year, against 12 white children. These comparisons represent something of the ratio obtaining in practically all diseases. These figures should arouse every Negro man, woman and child to this all-important matter of excessive child mortality, and the people should turn out to these lectures and exhibits at Cuyler Street school next week to learn these great CHARITY HOSPITAL RECEIVES LETTER FROM PRESIDENT Charity Hospital officials are in receipt of a letter from Pres Wilson in which he expressed his appreciation of the generous offer of that institution in the present war which was made some time ago. 'The hospital was the first colored organization of the city to offer its services and the officials felt justly proud of the President's acceptance. THOMPSON—JAMES "I appreciate your interest in the matter of the migration of Negro labor from the South, as evidences in your favor of 1st Inst. and will be pleased to co-operate with the Negro Business League in any manner that seems to offer a reasonable chance of checking a movement that is probably not for the interest of the Negro race any more than it is for the interest of the South. "Respectfully, "W. J. Pierpont, Mayor" truths of baby care and child rearing. Mrs. Geo. S. Williams, general chairman, has things well in hand. With the short time at her disposal, she, with her committee, is busy appointing the various committees to look after the special phases of the work. All the ministers, physicians and dentists, nurses and the whole citizenry of colored people are urged to take an active hand in this campaign. The parent-teachers' organizations of the several schools will work up the crowds for their respective days and the ministers are urged to preach sermons on Infant Mortality in their services next Sunday. The play ground children and those from the several kindergartens will entertain with plays and folk dances on next Friday afternoon in the Cuyler Street school yard, and a parade of the children will he had around the square. Supt. Gibosn, Prof. Ferguson, Miss Van Deurede, Dr. Pinckney, Dr. Middleton and Dr. Brunner will speak on that afternoon. Dr. V. H. Bassett has volunteered to put on the stereopticon lantern slides, hearing on Baby Welfare and General Health topics, during the evening, and many working people, unable to come during the afternoon hours can have the opportunity to attend the lantern, exhibition and view the general exhibits. Miss Van de Vrede, assistant to the bacteriologist, will give demonstrations each day on the pasteurization and sterilization of milk. The ladies conducting the Baby Welfare Week among the whites, including Mrs. Dr. Bairrow, Mrs. Dr. Jabez Jones, Miss Van de Vrede and others are giving full and cordial co-operation to the work. Supt. Gibson always alive to any movement for community welfare, is giving valuable aid and suggestion in working out the plans. The Lindsay & Morgan Co., through Mr. Fred Davis, manager, very readily granted use of all the furnishings and paraphernalia which was furnished for the white exhibition. It begins to look as if the sene of the exhibition will be full of interest and interesting and interested people all the time, and that is just what the committee so much desires. Come, out and bring the babies! Invite every mother to come out! It means 'life' to come out! REV. GOODALL APPEALS FOR LARGE ATTENDANCE All members of the First African Baptist Church, Franklin square, are requested to attend all of the services tomorrow, Sunday, which is the first Sunday in May. All our members from the country, and our prayer houses will be in, and a great time in the Lord's Zion is anticipated.

The Clivedon was bound for Beaufort, S.C., on the annual excursion of the Second Pilgrim Baptist church. There were in the neighborhood of three hundred and fifty excursionists aboard and every one had settled down for a pleasant trip when just about a mile from the starting place the accident happened. The blowout caused considerable noise and the escaping steam made matters worse. The excursionists became extremely alarmed at the accident and there was considerable screaming aboard. Immediately after the accident the pilot turned from midstream to the Gordon wharf where the boat was tied up and the damage investigated. As the boat neared the dock it was listing heavily, due to the frightened excursionists all banking upon the side of the boat nearest the landing. It is said that even before the boat tied up three women jumped overboard amidst the excitement, but others claimed that they were pushed overboard in the scramble to bet ashore, the gang plank slipping from its fastening when the crowd rushed upon it. The three women were all fisked out but two of them were seriously hurt. The excursionists returned to the city, most of them vowing to forego boat excursions any more. It is thought that the accident will cause a great decrease this year in the number of persons who usually patronize river boat excursions. PAGE TWO The Fashion's Latest Whims Fine Ginghams Combined with Silks In Summer Suits DRAPERIES IN AFTERNOON FROCK New York, April 30.—To keep apace with fashion, one must be ever on the alert in these days when there is constantly something new appearing. We do not look for any change in the silhouette, for that has been finally settled, at least for the coming season, but there are countless important minor details always turning up which make the game of keeping up with the mode a very interesting one. Almost each day something new is brought to the attention; a certain material suddenly rises into prominence, a new way of draping a skirt is devised, and sundry novel accessories appear upon the scene and are quickly taken up with enthusiasm. © MCCALL Draped Styles are Again in Vogue In opposition to the frocks that are absolutely straight in line, there are many ways of draping skirts to give that slight puffiness about the hips which is now one of the accepted modes in the dresser type of frock for afternoon and evening wear. One of the latest ways is by gathering the straight lower section of a skirt to a yoke, and leaving the sides free to form looped draperies which fall very gracefully into position when the soft pliable materials are used. An illustration of this charming style is shown in the skirt. The dress is of pongee trimmed with narrow bands of ribbon. The waist of this costume is made with kimono sleeves of the loose, baggy type, the kind that were in fashion some time ago. The unusual V-shaped collar and flaring cuffs add to the note of distinction which all such simple styles require. McCALL A Sports Costume in Plain and Checked Jersey Cloth Sometimes long, straight tunics or apron effects take the place of draperies in frocks of silk, chiffon or Georgette. A beautiful dress of white satin for a bride was made with a long pleated apron of fine white net edged with white glass beads. The transparent glass beads are now being used for the bead work, which is strongly in evidence. Ginghams for Summer Suits and Dresses Bright, colorful ginghams in very fine qualities have risen into prominence and are used in fashioning not only separate blouses and skirts, but also entire summer dresses and suits. In making suits, the latest fad has been to combine gingham with pongee and other sports silks. A skirt of gingham is used with a silk coat which has the collar and cuffs, and sometimes, pockets, of gingham. A surprising combination, but distinctly effective when one gets used to the idea! In other instances, plaid and plain ginghams are used to make the popular middy dresses with silp-over blouses and pleated skirts. With the plaid used for the skirt and to trim the blouses, a dress of this kind is exceedingly attractive for summer wear. Ginghams are crisp and cool and may always be kept looking fresh. The separate skirt of plaid or checked gingham, to wear with white volt and batiste waists, is also a pleasing novelty for summer. The skirts are sometimes made with belts of silk in some bright color matching one of the colors in the plaid or stripes as the case may be. Smart gingham blouses are trimmed with white pique collars and cuffs, and buttonholes bound with the pique. The new blouses that look like coats keep, rising in popularity. They are especially smart in costumes of jersey cloth. A very attractive model is plain and checked jersey is shown in the sketch, and with it is worn one of the fancy girdles that are all the rage just now. These ney girdles are of metal and celluloid and come in a variety of colors. Very pretty are those of colored stones with oxidized silver or gilt chains. Others are made made of squares or circles of jade, jet, amber or ebony, linked with metal chains. Girdles of this kind are used with coats as well as with dresses. Vests Apper in Suits Some of the new tussar summer suits are trimmed with silk fringes around the edges of the coats. Silk fringes are also used to finish the narrow silk or cloth girdles with which most frocks are provided. Vests seem to be an important part of the newest suits. White silk or serge suits are frequently made with vests of bright colored satins, or the embroidered Oriental silks. In the woolen suits, collars and vests are made of broadcloth, striped silk or of natural-colored pongee. Sometimes the vests are embroidered, and, again, the edges are bound with braid, to give a neat, tailored finish. Detachable collars of blue and white striped cottons on dark blue serge and twill suits have also been noticed as well as those of silk. FEEDING THE CHILD OF FOUR Third of a Series of Weekly Articles On the Care of Young Children During the fourth year, milk still remains an important part of the child's food, but much of it may be given in the form of bread and milk, milk soups, or milk puddings, or it may be poured over the cereal. Some children object to drinking milk, and in such cases it is wise to offer it under some disguise. The cereal need no longer be strained but must be very thoroughly cooked. The diet at this time should include all the articles advised for two earlier years, with the addition of more meats, vegetables, and fruits. Baked potatoes, with a little butter, are a staple food at this period. Bread and butter, or toast and butter, and plenty of hard crusts or zwieback are important. Eggs or meat, such as roasted, boiled, or broiled beef, mutton, chicken or fish, should be given at least once a day. The child of four will probably thrive on three or four meals a day, the heaviest being taken in the middle of the day. If he appears to be hungry, a light lunch such as milk, may be given in the interval between breakfast and dinner or between dinner and supper, but no nibbling should be permitted between meals. A child should be taught to come to the table with that vigorous appetite for his food which leads to good digestion and assimilation. Food should be carefully prepared to fit it to a child's powers and should be served in an appetizing fashion at proper intervals. Young children should not be offered "tastes" of the family meal, as this habit tends to destroy the appetite for the simple, rather restricted diet adapted to their need. Children should have an abundance of pure cool drinking water. This is especially important in summer when they are perspiring freely. If there is any doubt about the purity of the water it should be filtered or boiled, or both. Since it is always difficult for children to chew their food properly it should be finely minced, mashed, or softened for them throughout these early years. Never under any circumstances should children be given coffee, tea or strong cocoa. They should have no highly seasoned or spiced foods, rich pastries, raw vegetables, onions, corn, or cabbage. Bananas and all partly ripened fruit are apt to make trouble. If children are inclined to be constipated they should have plenty of laxa- THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE; SATURDAY MAY 5, 1917 tive foods. These are cereals, particularly oatmeal; the coarser breads, such as graham and whole wheat; fruit or fruit juice, particularly orges and prunes; and vegetables like string beans, asparagus and spinach. Watch Your St When in New York, visit the man's Exchange, 135 W. 1325 and Beauty Parlor of Mme. Many children suffer from malnutrition, that is, they fail to secure the food material they need for development and growth, and consequently they are undersized pale, often slow and listless, and do not show the eager, alert habits of healthy children. Malnutrition may be due to lack of sufficient food of any kind, to improper food, bad cooking, or some fault of digestion, or to illness which makes it impossible for the child properly to utilize the food he eats. It is a wise precaution, therefore, if children are out of sorts, have deceived teeth, bad breath, or seem tired and disinclined to play, to have them examined by a good doctor, and to take all the trouble necessary to get them into sound eating habits. The neglect of these early sumptoms may mean a lifetime of only partial health and efficiency. NOTICE!

Atlanta, May 1.—On Wednesday of last week Morehouse College played Clark University a benefit game on the latters' campus. Morehouse took the game from the start by batting Bridges from the mound. Morehouse divided the game up to the four slabmen, Engram, Nance, Goodloe and Maddox with Fisher catching. Clark got two hits and scored in the 7th on an error. The game was without features and ended Morehouse 13 and Clark 1 Morehouse met Morris Brown on Saturday and sent them down by a score of 9 to 6. In the first inning Morehouse counted 5 runs, and added another, in the third. The score then ran 6 to 2 until the 7th when Morris Brown tied the score. In the 6th Morehouse drove Albrittain from the box and Johnson came to his relief. In the 8th inning by bunching hits, Morehouse added 3 more runs. The Giants were unable to score in their 8th. By this time, which was 6:40 it had become too dark for the outfielders to see what was being done with the pill in the infield. Thus the game was called in the unfinished first half of the 9th inning. Engram was on the mound for Morehouse. He was wild but invincible, giving up only two hits, and allowing the ball to reach outfield only 4 times. He walked 8 men and hit 4 at one time walking and hitting 4 men in succession. This is the first city bame Morris Brown has lost since Morehouse beat them two summers ago. The leading pupils in Swangin Normal and Industrial School for the month of April are as follows.

Chester, Pa.—Just what the conflict with Germany will be and how many will be killed is unknown at this time, and we are all looking and trusting in God. The war is on, and while some people do not realize just how critical it is, those who are in authority are not losing any time nor are they taking any chances but every where are preparing for whatever may come, and hope to be able to meet a stout opposition. While the people of the nation are preparing for war, the Baptists of Georgia are preparing for the big Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. Congress which meets next month, and they are going to encourage patriotism in that big meeting. I am a man of peace, and I believe in the doctrine of peace and love for all mankind. Since writing you my last letter, I have been to may places and have met many people. I was in Jacksonville, Fla., when I mailed the letter, and I jumped from there to Fredrickburg, Va., and remained around there a few days. I had the pleasure of attending a patriotic meeting in that city in the Mt. Zion Baptist church, of when the Rev. Daniel L. Reed is pastor. I learned the lesson of a minister having a good wife, on this visit. Now there was Rev. J. C. Diamond, pastor of the Shiloh Old Site Baptist church. He was sick in bed, and I was booked to be with him for one service, which was Sunday night. Everything was placed in the hands of his wife, and she was indeed cordial in her reception and just carried things on to perfection. I want to congratulate her upon her wonderful ability. When she was a girl she took time to prepare herself. She was found in school, and did not spend her time in having a good time. She is now among our best trained women and she is prepared to be of service to herself, her husband and her people. It is wonderful indeed. Rev. J. C. Diamon, is a young man, well trained, and a good preacher. He is a man who strives to do things, and do them in good style. We get so much out of these young men who will work. I spent only two days in town, reaching there Sunday morning and leaving Monday evening. I am sure you want to know just where I went from that point, and I will have to tell you. I am not like some of you fast writers, who can put down a man's thoughts before he can put them down. I saw one the other day that would just catch words as they came out of a man's mouth and put them on paper. I went to Richmond. Va., and there I remained over night the guest of Rev. M. D. Davis, pastor of the Third Street A. M. B. church, and one of the best men I have ever met. Getting up bright and early the next morning, I went out and found Editor John, Mitchell, Jr., the happy man, happy because he had won the suit in court which had been pending so long and which had attracted the attention of all the Knights of Pythias, Mitchell won his case, and that is why he was happy. He invited me to get in his car and take a ride with him, and he got Rev. M. E. Davis, and the pastor of the M. E. church. It was out to the new cemetery known as Woodland Cemetery, and is destined to be the finest in the world for our people alone. He has already invested $40,000 in it, and now he is spending thousands of dollars in beautifying this piece of track. It will not be second to any burying ground. They are just putting money into it, and then there will be other attractive features connected with this purchase. John Mitchell, Jr., is now in the heart of his people and he has erected for himself a monument. He is not a grafter but jut a straight forward business man, and we must all take off our hats to him, because he is doing things. He explained all of his plans, and told us what he was going to do, and all for his people. There will be next to the cemetery or near by a park for our people, and he is going to donate it to the Sunday school free of charge. Plenty of water, plenty of pleasure to be found out there, and it is just two blocks from the street car line. I looked around the city, and then turned my attention to leaving town. I met Hon. J. C. Daney, who had been down in Norfolk. He was one time Register of Deeds in the District of Columbia and then he was editor of the A. M. E. Zion Quarterly Now into Washington, D. C., the great head city of our country. I went into the office of the church Extension Society of the A. M. E. church, which is presided over by Rev. B. F. Watson, the efficient secretary since 1900. He certainly has his business down fine, and can tell you every church in the African Methodist Episcopal connection in debt, how much they owe and what they are doing to pay off the indebtedness. He knows the value of all the churches in this country belonging to his denomination. He should be kept in that position until claimed by death. His report was a wonderful one. His board met for the purpose of auditing his books and then looking after the work of the department decide on applications for loans and donations. It is composed of men of each Episcopal district and it was a fine set of men. Bishop Lovil J. Coppin, who served as chairman of the board for four years, retired, and Bishop William H. Heard, was elected to fill the position, and he makes a good presiding officer. Miss Marie Thomas, is THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, the chief clerk and bookkeeper. She has been in the office over twelve years and she may remain there because of her ability and worth. Speaking of church extension, I am reminded that Secretary Watson is not a sleepy man, but is ever up and ready to look after the interest of his church and people. He called attention to the large number of people making it to the North just at this time, and immediately his board appropriated $5,000 looking forward to erecting church homes for them, and employing preachers to do the preaching. Each of the other boards were requested to do the same thing, and it was immediately acted upon and the appropriation made. New let me turn attention to some other things for I was in Washington, and it was my desire to know what was going on there in that part of the world. Here I turned attention to it and to my surprise I had the pleasure of going to the war department and shaking hands with the Secretary of War Baker. He is a small man but I am told that he is all brains. He is filling the position and just now is a busy man, yet not too busy to receive a delegation of our people, and listened to them in good shape, heard all they had to say. While they were rushing, and it was his day and near the hour for him to receive the big men who were coming from across the waters, from France and England yet he told them to take their time and do it right while they were atti- Rev. W. H. Jernagin, D. D. was Chairman of the committee, and Dr. J. Milton Waldon was the speaker for the committee, and I tell you in a few minutes he told that Secretary what our people wanted, and what they wanted our country to do. He agreed with all that was said in a way and told the men representing us, that they would be recognized in due time, and he thought that in the draft, the Negro would be set apart in separate regiments, and would have all they wanted to do. He told them to just tell their people to do what they were told to do, and that applied to all Americans at this critical time. "I have spent much of my life with colored people," said Secretary Baker, "and I know of their loyalty and their efficiency. All of these things will work out all right in due time." I was delighted to meet him and to meet Assistant Secretary of State Phillips and to see how cordial he was with our people. He is the grand son of the late Wendell Phillips. Dr. Waldron and Dr. A. C. Garner talked with him and then we left. I made it to Baltimore and from there to Chester, Pa. Next week I will be in Portsmouth attending the general association. News has just reached me that Mrs. Ruth L. Bennett will be in Atlanta, Ga. C. J. Hardstew SATURDAY MAY 5. 1917 Among the Masons Among the Masons The Lodge Many persons object to Masonry because it levels all distinctions and consequently teaches principles which tend to disorganize society and reduce all to the same level in life—the rich with the poor, and the learned and intelligent with the unlettered. Of course, such reasoning is false altogether, since we only teach the equality of man as seen by his Creator; and Freemasonry makes, although one of its dogmas is the level of all, the same distinctions in organization that exists in the different departments of life. The Worshipful Master sits in the East to rule and govern the lodge, and his power is absolute to will and to do as seems to him right for the good of the brethren. So absolute is his sway that one stroke of his gavel is sufficient to silence the large body over which he presides, and no one can question his judgment. The Wardens are his deputies—not, his equals; each performing his allotted task, and beyond that, are of no authority save as assistants. The deacons are lower yet in the grade and are simply messengers of the lodge. The Senior curties messages from Worshipful Master to various portions of the body, and it is his duty to receive the candidates for initiation and to be their guide and conductor. This office is, therefore, difficult to fill and is made the stepping stone to further preferment. The other officers of the lodge have their various duties to perform, and each ranks in regular succession; but outside of their regular functions are without authority in the lodge, and to obey the will and pleasure of the Master is the unquestioned duty of all. When the lodge is opened, the brethren are, as Masone, equal, and in the working of the lodge, each bears the burden assigned to him in pursuit of a common object—knowledge. When the lodge is closed we part upon the square, giving "honor unto whom honor is due." In no organization in the world is there such harmony in the work as in the Masonic Fraternity.—Masonic Free mason. . . . Death Knows no Mason When lives were snuffed out by fire, flood and water in such number that strong men sluddered as they read the startling stories of the sudden slaughter: your life was spared.

Plenty of Chances The other day a brother was complaining because he had never received any preferment to Masonry and charged it all to the statement that he had never had a chance to do anything in the lodge. We have heard thus remark a great many times and it is always the excuse of the lazy man. The man who never had a chance is the same one who is always waiting for someone to come around with the proverbial silver platter. Masonry is full of chances and good ones, too. All that the brother has to do, who wants a chance is simply to go up to lodge and try to be of some service. No man ever failed to receive Masonic recognition and preferment who was doing what he could-to advance the cause of Masonry and be mindful of his fellowman. Masonry is a reciprocal PAGE THREE Institution. You get out of it just what you put in. Therefore if you do not put anything in, do not be disappointed if you fail to get anything out. Illinois Freemason. Masonry Masonry's teachings and principles uniting with the other moral and spiritual forces of the universe, human and divine, are operating and co-operating day by day throughout the centuries to enlighten the minds and hearts of those who are sitting under the shadows of ignorance and prejudice, seeking to reflect upon them the golden rays eminating from the great source and origin of all true light. It is a quiet silent power influencing not merely the outward acts and public conduct of its followers, but shaping their motives and guiding their lives. It points with an unerring finger to the path of duty amid all the changing scenes of life, and with a volceless command heard and obeyed in the deep, still chambers of the soul bids its loyal sons to walk therein.

Saturday May 5th, 1917 FREE CLINIC It would seem from the agitation among leading white people as well as colored, that the day for the free clinic for colored people is not far distant. The Urban League has been agitating and espousing this need for a long time and the people have been impressed of the crying need for the thing. Health Week investigation and observation again brought the need of it forcibly to the front. The campaigners saw thousands of young and old too poor and too ignorant to get the attention they need, they remain negected, to swell the great numbers of the ill, to increase the high death rate, and to become a continuing menace to others. Talking and lecturing to these people is attacking this problem superficially and from the top—the Clinic would be like putting from its roots. The resolution passed at last Friday night's mass meeting, not only urged the establishment of the Clinic, but provided for a plan to put it on foot. We are ready to make any reasonable sacrifice to see this necessary institution established at once. We believe the rank and file of Negro citizens, the Medical Association, the organizations and many leading white people, including the Health Department and various civic and charitable organizations will be ready to work to bring it to pass. The committee must get busy. JUST VIEWS The two articles following are reprinted from the Pennsylvania Grit of April 27th. They exhibit the views of the fairminded Southern people: . The Negro and the South I have seen two or three letters on different phases of the so-called Negro problem. In all but one the writer seemed to be grossly mi-informed or filled with prejudice. Here in Tennessee, which I suppose is a Southern state, I never heard of the so-called Negro problem, though perhaps it is here. If the newspapers are to be believed, irreverence for the marriage tie is not confined to the Negro race. I know of no more Negro men being untrue to their wives than those of any other race. Also I note in the applications for divorce, the charges against the white man and the Negro are practically the same—non-support, desertion and cruelty. An article in the January number of a Southern magazine says that one-half of the colored school children do not attend school. Perhaps their parents did not go to any, either, so how could the schools implant anything? As for that bogy of politicians and other publicity seekers, social equality, I don't believe it is sought but by very few, if any, here in our grand state. Personally, I think the South is the best place for the Negro, as the better class of Southern whites are his best friends. In answer to the article entitled "The Northern Negro Problem," I wish to say that the marriage tie is as sacred to the colored people as any people on earth. There are certain classes among all races that have no regard for the marriage vow. Colored people are as a whole, moral, clean-living people. It is a vile slander upon a whole race to hold them up as immoral. There is the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, whose aim is as high morally as that of any organization of women on earth. The home is sacred and marriage is sacred to colored people. The North can easily absorb the surplus colored population. It has absorbed 1,000,000 foreigners per year until the war reduced immigration. Surely it can absorb a half million honest, hard-working, colored people. The morals of the race are good in most instances. There are immoral white men who seek to despoil the morals of the colored race. They are the class who claim to be teaching morality to the Negro. Hypocrites of the deepest dye! Look to your own morals! This call for Negro labor, this exodus, is God's way of giving the Negro a chance in America that has been denied him for half a century. Georgia Mrs. Maude M. Todd CHANGING ATTITUDE It has been several times suggested, and we have observed that the South, rural and urban, is changing sentiment on its race problem. It has commenced to deal with the various phases and issues in this great question with more patience and the application of some of its best thought. Hitherto, as these issues have arisen, they have been cast aside, arbitrarily, because the complainant was in no position to demand that the big employer, the landlord, the superintendent, should treat with him on the wage question or other vital issues relating to his well-being. High living cost and a scarcity of labor of all classes, due to the restive conditions in the South, have caused many of the sober and more thoughtful white leaders of the South to give some thought to the consequences of this continued movement of labor toward the North They were slow to learn and take heed, at that, for already a considerable amount of the best of it, has gone. To refuse to take notice to acknowledge that it is no ordinary and negligible matter, is folly. The wise man sees the highly probable and serious danger, not far ahead, if not already in sight. In a few localities action has already been taken by white men who have been affected by the migration, but along an incorrect and illogical line as to the causes of the trouble and the means of their removal. In any proposition, the hypothesis must be consistent with the conclusion and vice versa. If the solver of the proposition reasons from a false and incorrect hypothesis, he must undoubtedly reach an impossible and indefensive conclusion. To deny that many of the Negroes who are leaving the South, have, at least, reasonable cause, (in low wages, lack of just consideration in business and public affairs, want of protection to life and property, etc.) is to assume a false hypothesis as a basis of developing a conclusion. No fair argument could proceed without admission as to these things. To set up that Negro common labor is a negligible factor in southern commercial life, is likewise, to argue from a wilful refusal to concede ordinary common fact. To set up the bugbear of impossible climatic and industrial conditions at the North is to dodge the issue and waste time. Any reasonable basis of debate must contemplate a full and frank admission of the plain facts. There can be no argument on the merits of a cause until it is stripped of all extraneous and admittedly collateral matter. The great South, through its leaders and the press, still clings tenaciously to its contention that the Negro has no adequate reason for migrating to the strange and unsentimental fields of labor at the North. They must see more of it, and feel it more keenly in purse, before they will have full conviction and surrender of heart. The causes of migration are glaring and fully sufficient everywhere. One does not need to go out of his bailiwick for ample example, past and present. For instance, the average wage of common labor in Savannah, including all employments, is too low to afford a decent living under present conditions. Thousands of med on regular jobs in this city and its suburbs are working nine and ten hours per day at $1.00, $1.10 and $1.15. How can a man pay the rent for a simple, comfortable and sanitary home; buy even the ordinary foodstuffs; make even a meager average expenditure for clothing, furnishings and current incidentals, like insurance, etc.; on $6.00 to $7.50 per week? The low wage scale forces the people in Yamaecraw and the Fort to live there, compels them to keep their children ragged and ill-fed and untrained. There is no proposition or suggestion of a commission to investigate the economic causes of poverty and bad and improper living conditions. Why not have such a commission investigate the wretched conditions in our city, intelligently and scientifically, beginning by inquiring into the wage scale? Other cities have appointed such commissions and have found that much of the crime and poverty and delinquency of a city was traceable to too low wages. A man must get money enough for his work to live decently, care for his family, at least consistent with sanitation and health, to buy school books and common clothes for his children, or he cannot be wholly blamed for his condition. We are quite sure that careful study will disclose that the hard conditions in Savannah are traceable largely to insufficient wages. Suppose we take it up as the first inquiry into the cause of migration, it is at least desirable to regulate wages in accordance with services rendered and profits yielded by it. ARMY TRAINING CAMP May 8th is the date set for opening the army training camps. We wonder if the military authority will have breadth of character and manliness enough to authorize at once the training camp for Negro officers? This will be a first test of their military wisdom and courage. The white men and black, who are urging this proposition, do not look upon this camp as a temporary, volunteer and experimental measure. They are pressing it as an institution of the regular army and part of the plan for permanent preparedness. It contemplates other Negro units of the regular standing peace forces under trained, commissioned Negro officers. A proportionate increase in the Negro units of the regular standing army would see many more regiments of Negro soldiers and marines. From this latter part of the national defense the Negro is practically eliminated, for his attitude in the navy is purely servile. There is no training in naval strategy or tactics. He is the domestic of the navy, according to accounts. The draft system provides for the recruiting of an army of 500,000 men within the next few months, and it is inconceivable how this plan could fall to contemplate additional Negro regiments of infantry and cavalry. The next logical move is the camp for training Negro officers to command these troops. The American Negroes cannot be classed with the Negro subjects of England and France, in ability and versatility. He is far in advance of these and eminently more valuable as an asset. He has demonstrated that he can be made more of than a mere fighting man. He is a competent and capacious patrol, susceptible to the finer and subtiller detail of governmental plan and purpose, as well. The government will do well to cope, to its senses on this point. SELECTIVE DRAFT BECOMES LAW By an overwhelming majority, both houses of Congress have passed the President's selective draft measure. It now but remains to execute the simple details of the plan and the government will be on a real war footing. The governmental principle involved in such perogative by the nation is correct. In democratic government there can be no argument against universal military service. The government must have the right to summon and assemble all its strength of man-power and material resources for purposes of self-preservation if it shall endure to defend and protect Individual and community interests. It must, in the nature of things, have that right, whether it be necessary, often, to exercise it. This principle is more paramount in a democratic government than elsewhere, because the government derives its power and perpetuity from the people. It would thus be obligated to defend the people—the state. In the exercise of their power through the suffrage, the people create and complexlon the Congress, and likewise thrut Congress express their will to the world. Now, then, the people have spoken. Hear and act, lovingly. WHAT SELECTIVE DRAFT MEANS Here is what will happen when the selective draft bill, now before Congress, becomes a law: 1. The President will designate by proclamation a day of registration, the voting prescinct being used as the smallest unit for enrollment. The governors of the various states will be asked to have the sheriff of the counties appoint registers to take the names of all males between the ages of 19 and 25. Those who refuse to enroll will be arrested. 2. The state officers will exempt from military service 'persons engaged in industries, including agricultural, found to be necessary to the maintenance of the military establishment or the effective operation of the military forces, or the maintenance of national interests during the emergency." 3. Those not exempted will be reported to the War department, which will make further exemptions. 4. It is estimated that by August 1, the 500,000 men desired will be in training camps. In the meantime the government must provide equipment for the recruits. 5. It is estimated that the registration will result in an enrollment of 7,000,000, and about 40 per cent, of this number will be weeded out on account of physical disabilities. The 500,000 to be selected from the remaining 60 per cent, will be chosen by lot. BEAUFORT, S. C. NEWS Mr. Samuel Bryant has been appointed mail carrier for the city of Beaufort, beginning May 1st.

TRAINING CAMP DEFERRED New York, April 29.—A delegation, consisting of Dr. J. E. Spingarn of New York, Moorfield Storey of Boston, Acilbald H. Grimke, Prof. Geo. W. Cook, Prof. Montgomery Gregory, James W. Robinson, James A. Cobb, Dean Kelly Miller, Whitfield McKinley and Roy Nash had an interview with Secretary of War Newton D. Baker on Friday morning, April 27. Dr. Spingarn acted as spokesman and asked that the secretary immediately authorize General Wood to invite three hundred colored men to enter Plattsburg or any of the regular training camps which have just been instituted. The Secretary replied that he could not do that at this time, but that he was seriously considering the whole matter and was committed to the plan for training colored officers for colored regiments. He stated he had not decided whether to have a separate battalion of colored officers in a regular camp or a separate and distinct camp for colored officers, and would take "which was least offensive to the colored people." This means that an opportunity for the training of colored officers will probably be deferred until the end of the present camp. That is to say, until about September 1st. It is not impossible, however, that a camp may be organized before that time, and it is incumbent upon all colored people of the country to get together and make a fight for this form of training. Nothing is more important at this time than that colored men should be given an opportunity to train themselves as officers. The names of applicants now in the hands of Dr. Spingarn will be retained for future use, and all further applications should be sent to Roy Nash, 70 Fifth Avenue; New York. Every man interested in this project should not only send an application to Mr. Nash, but should write to his Congressman urging the latter to insist an officers training for colored people. Dr. Spingarn in an interview said: "On February 15, I sent an open letter to the colored people of the country, urging them to apply for admission to a camp for colored officers. I did not faver such a separate camp, but I realized that if we could only definitely commit the War Department to the training of colored officers before war was declared, that precedent would hold and colored officers would get training immediately. I have made this fight alone, with the help of only two or three men like Dean Pickens and Prof. Cook. If the whole colored world had risen and demanded such training at that time regardless of their differences, the camp would have been assured and, colored men would now be getting training as officers. As it is, that training must now be deferred for two or three months, and I urge all men, white and black, to start an organized campaign to see that the Secretary of War does not forget his promise." A number of ladies of the West End, being intensely interested in the welfare of the unfortunate ones among them, have organized a mission and are accomplishing much good. Rev. Henry Dunbar and his loyal congregation contributed to them $3.05. Rev. Grant of Taylor's Chapel contributed $1.05. Mrs. Josie Douglass is president and Mrs. Rosa Hamilton, secretary.

NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL Amid the fanfare of trumpets and the emblazoned banners of heredity, a large audience of our representative people at the Metropolitan A. M. L. church last Tuesday night gave a demonstration of a patriotic devotion to America and her new-found allies that left no doubt in the minds of the most skeptical that the loyalty of the Negro is 100 per cent. The occasion was a spectacular "Queen's Pageant" and was given under the auspices of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, with Mine, B. Azalia Hackley of Chicago, as director-general, and Miss Marie A. D. Madre, president of Bethel Literary, as business manager. The spacious edifice was richly decorated with the American colors, and here and there might be seen entwined with them the insignia of France and England. Fifteen governments were represented by "Queens" and following them in the pretty historical pageant were members of their trains—lords and ladies in waiting, chamberlains and color-bearers. Mrs. James E. Buckner, as "America" led the procession, closely followed by Mrs. Philippa B. Walton as "England" and Miss Medora Moxley as "France." The house rang with cheers as the united throng sang "The Star-Spangled Banner." joined in with, Mrs. Buckner, who had reached the center of the stage as "America." Mrs. Walton gave a stanza of "God Save the King," and Miss Moyley charmingly rendered "The Marseillaise," the audience standing throughout. The heartiest applause was given when the three "queens" on the main section of the rostrum, with graceful sweep entwined the "Stars and Stripes" of the United States with the "Union Jack" of Great Britain and the tri-color of the French Republic. It was a thrilling and dramatic scene and formed a new triple alliance for modern historian to place on record. The most signal individual triumph of the evening was achieved by Miss Captora Frye, formerly of Louisville, Ky., who gave a picturesque and vivid portrayal of "Africa" and received an ovation for her life-like assumption of the role of the "Queen of Sheba." She had not only the largest entourage—lords and ladies—but brought in the largest sum of money to the rally for which she was rewarded by being crowned by "America" as "Queen of Queens," winning the first prize of the pageant. Miss Annie Green as Japan and Miss Anna Washington as China were attired in the unique garb of their native lands and gave characteristic evolutions with fans and parasols. Some Greece, Mrs. Minnie Beeverly; India, of the other countries represented were Mrs. Ella Queenan and Hawaii, Cuba, Brazil, Haiti and others were appropriately woven into the gorgeous setting. Mme. Hackley gave an informal talk on pageants and their historical significance, and explained why she had for the moment abandoned prima donna work in favor of pageantry, showing the wonderful power of the latter in impressing the story of international progress and unity of people, as well as providing a means of raising large sums of money for worthy causes. In conception, production and returns the "Queen's Pageant was the most successful of its kind ever presented in this city and reflects great credit upon the artistic taste and teaching ability of Mme. Hackley and in no less measure it bespoke for Miss Madre a managerial skill and personal popularity second to none in the community. The Tuskegee Alumni Association is to the fore again and will be more actively in evidence in the future than they have been in the recent past. It is understood that the Tuskegeeans propose to form themselves into a nucleus for the preservation of the "Tuskegee Spirit" in the nation's capitol and to promote in every way the work so nobly conceived by the late Booker T. Washington. Plans will be held for the annual memorial meeting in this city to keep green the memory of Tuskegee's revered founder in the hearts of all who have come under the magic influence of his life and consecrated labore. At last the segregation cases are fairly and squarily before the highest tribunal of the land. Validity of the ordinances of many cities, designated to restrict the Negroes to certain sections, were argued last Friday before the Supreme Court of the United States. The test case bears upon the constitutionality of the Louisville, Ky., Ordinance, and is known as Buchanan vs Warley, the issue being joined on whether an individual can be hled to a contract for the ownership of property while being denied the use of it. Similar ordinances are in force in St. Louis, Baltimore, Richmond, Atlanta, Norfolk and other cities, and the fate of these depends on the decision of the court in the Louisville test case. Attorneys representing city authorities, improvement organizations and colored associations including counsel of national repute, appeared. Mr. Moorefield Story of Boston, is in general charge of the colored people's end of the litigation. The Louisville ordinance, as is well known by all who have studied the segregation statutes, forbids Negroes from occupying residences in any block in which a majority of whites reside, and whites are likewise prohibited from living in a block in which the majority of the residents are colored. The old story of avoidance of race friction—the stabilization of property values, and is not discriminative in that it applies to both races alike—is set up in defense of the ordinances. That the ordinance is a mere subterfuge discriminating against the color I race, restricting their development and is in violation of the constitutional clause prohibiting discrimination because of "race, color or previous condition of servitude" was argued in opposition to its validity. A unique feature of the Supreme Court presentation was a booklet of photographs of the Louisville Negro residence districts showing costly and beautiful homes and public buildings libraries, schools and society halls. The test case was argued before the Supreme Court a year ago, but no conclusion was reached, and it was ordered that the case be reargained before a full bench. At this hearing all of the justices were present. The outcome is being watched with interest and the speculation as to the kind of a decision that will be handed down covers a wide field. In importance to the Negro, many hold that this case is not of less significance than the Dred Scott decision. If unconstitutional, the whole segregation fabric falls to the ground. If valid, it is believed that most of the cities of the country with large Negro populations will enact such ordinances at once. Mr. Christopher H. Payne, of West Virginia, for fourteen years United States Consul at St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, was in the city last week, reporting at the State Department and visiting old friends.

C.—In these days while the world rocks and rocks domestic controversies here at the national capital are being subordinated, and national emergency and need are to the front as paramount questions of the hour. Every arm of the government is alive with enthusiasm to strengthen rather than to hinder, and citizens of every kind, color and degree are supporting the government locally and earnestly. The Negro and the part he shall play in the war is a subject of earnest discussion. His rights and wrongs, his handicaps and injustices are, along with other controversies, being subordinated to his duties and responsibilities in this hour of national crisis. His spokesmen at the National Capitol feel that it is not amis once again to call attention to the fact that this government is founded upon the theory of majority rule, a theory to which American people have always and always will subscribe. But the principle of majority rule does not and never has includes the power of the majority to override or ignore the personal and inherent rights of the minority. Such assumption of power is detrimental to good government and leads to a tyranny as repulsive as autocratic despotism. Repulsive as is the offence, it becomes duly offensive when a minority attempts to or succeeds in abridging or denying the personal freedom of the majority. Such a state of affairs is old world autochacy and repudiates the great American principle of judicious majority rule. Yet the agitation in the hall of Congress for the repression of Personal Freedom threatens to establish a precedent in that form of government.

Text of the Lesson, John xiii, 1-17. Memory Verses, 14-15—Golden Text, Mark x, 44—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The last evening of the most wonderful life ever lived on this earth had come. The living and true God in human but not sinful flesh had been on earth over thirty-three years, thirty years in the humble Nazareth home and over three years in His public ministry, filled with the Holy Spirit, going about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with Him (Acts x, 3S). This was the passover that He had so desired to keep with them before He suffered (Luke xxil, 15, 16). The time had come to which He had looked forward before the world was (1 Pet. 1, 20), and, notwithstanding all their blindness and unbelief He was still loving this little company whom He had chosen to be His disciples. There is a lot of comfort in the first verse of our lesson, with which I have in my mind Jer. xxxl. 3, and rejoice in the fact that He still loves this bit of His property, although He knew it so thoroughly before I ever heard Him say that He loved and gave Himself for me (Gal. ii, 20). Peter and John having made ready the passover feast in the upper room to which the Lord Himself had directed them, He sat down with the twelve, saying as He took part with them that He would not eat of it any more nor drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God should come. Then He instituted the supper by which we commemorate His death till He shall come again. Some time during the evening there was a strife among them as to which of them should be accounted the greatest—I suppose in the kingdom of which He had spoken—and He had to teach them again that lowliness was true greatness and He was among them as one who served (Luke xxil, 7-30; Matt. xx, 25). Verse 2 reads in the revised version "during supper" instead of "supper being ended" and that the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot to betray Him. In Luke xxil, 1-6, we read that before the feast Judas had been to the chief priests and had agreed with them to betray Him unto them. Yet here he is at the table with the others as if he was a true disciple and none of the others had any suspicion that he was not. See verses 18-30. What a desperate hypocrite the devil can make of a person when he is allowed to take control! If we allow his suggestions to enter our hearts he will soon enter in himself (verses 2-27). How infinitely patient was our Lord to tolerate the presence of such a one and to wash his feet with the others, as He seems to have done, knowing all the time how devil possessed he was! The key to His great humility, His grace to do the lowliest things and to be patient with the devil himself and to bear such insult and injury as came upon Him is seen in verse 3. He knew who He was, that He came from heaven and was going back home and that the Father had given all things into His hands. He was not aiming to be somebody, for He was the only real somebody that ever lived. Real greatness can stoop gracefully to lowliest service, but it is impossible to those who are aiming at greatness. Only as we believe that we really are what God says we are, because of our being redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, can we walk worthy of such a high calling. We are not aiming to be children of God and joint heirs with Christ, for such we are by our receiving Him (John 1, 12; I John ill, 1, 2; Rom. vill, 16, 17). But being such by free grace we should hold ourselves ready for any service by which we can glorify Him. His sevenfold act of verses 4, 5, as He rose from the supper and prepared to minister to them is suggestive of perfect humiliation in order to perfect service. This act of ministry in the matter of water for their feet was within the reach of any of them, but people who are striving for greatness, as they were, are not apt to think that any lowly service is in their line. Water for the feet was an act of common courtesy, as in Gen. xviii, 4, and implied in Luke vll, 44. Having done for them what any of them might have done, He said, "I have given you an example that ye should do as I have done to you" (verses 12-17). When Peter objected to allowing Him to wash his feet His reply, "If I wash thee not thou hast no part with me" (verse 8), might well search us all and lead us to ask. Can I truly say "Unto Him who loved me and washed me from my sins in His own blood?" (Rev. i, 5.) Then to Peter's request for more thorough washing His reply, "He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit." suggests the difference between a sinner's being washed once for all and the daily cleansing of a believer. As Christians we are in constant touch with the defilements of sin and the world and need continually the washing with water by the word of Eph. v, 26. This He will let us do for one another provided it is done lovingly, with water neither too hot nor too cold. It is possible that no sentence in this lesson is more often quoted than verse 7, "What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter," which may have both a near and a faroff interpretation.

Your memory is as dear today as the hour you passed away. A precious one from us has gone, a voice we love is still, a place is vacant in our home which never can be filled. We all still love you dear, and even though your voice is still we feel that Jesus is near. It fills our heart with sadness to see your vacant place, we long to hear the voice we love and see thy dear sweet face. Miss Stella Jinins Mrs. Ida Burke Mr. I. B. Jinkins Mr Steve Jinkins, Philadelphia SHEPPARD—George A. Sheppard died May 1, 1912. Since you have left me in loneliness, I fain would cover my weary head Under the rolling waves of the sea Of Forgetfulness. Under the seething waves of the ocean, My misery, despair and distress, I fain would hide under the turbulent sea Of Forgetfulness. My heart is sad since you left me, I could not, I would not forget thy tenderness, And only an aching heart would I bury In Forgetfulness. When I cease to remember you, dear one, Of all thou were to me, thy loving kindness. Then my weary heart, weary soul, lie buried, In Forgetfulness. I know that we shall meet again, dear one, In the beautiful realms of eternal bliss. All parting, all pain, forever buried in Sweet Forgetfulness. Mrs. H. Sheppard. (wife) Mrs. Evana Boon. (slister) Mrs. Rebecca Robertson (slister) LYNCH—In loving but sad memory of my devoted husband and our loving father, Frank Lynch, who departed this life April 24, 1915. He Suffered much and murmured not, We watched him night and day; Until at last with broken hearts, We saw him pass away. Where trees and branches wave, Lie our dear father, In his cold and silent grave. On a higher plain he now dwells And with his soul we know its well. Mrs. Hannah Lynch (wife) Mrs. S. M.

Prothro Hiltonia, May 2—The twenty-fourth session of the Epworth League and Sunday School Convention of the Waynesboro district of the Savannah annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal church convened at Hiltonia in Leet's Chapel Methodist Episcopal church with Rev.

Sumner, district organizer and W. H. Gambles, assistant organizer. After this partial organization the convention proceeded with the business by hearing first, report from the district superintendent, which was full of enthusiasm and showed much good work being done by the Sunday schools and Epworth Leagues throughout the district. Next came a report from the Sunday school superintendents and Epworth Leagues. Both of these young people's institutions showed that the district was a unit and that they are helping to place the young folks into various avenues of helpfulness. Preaching was had each night by some of the ministers. All of the ministers who preached seemed well prepared for the task assigned them. Greetings of welcome on behalf of the people of Hiltonia were given by Miss Susie Rock and Miss Brown of the Baptist church. Resolutions on the state of the country were adopted, re-affirming loyalty to the American flag in war as in peace. Subjects were discussed and papers read touching every phase of progress of our people as civilians and as churchmen. All showed that the Negro is thinking some for himself. The convention which closed on Sunday night, was one much enjoyed and achieved much. Many thanks were tendered Pastor Peter Rock and the kind people of Hiltonia. Too much cannot be said of their hospitality and preparation made to entertain the delegates. BUTLER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Bth services were well attended on Sunday last. The pastor, Rev. S. T.

ATLANTA UNIERSITY NOTES Atlanta, Ga., May 2—Atlanta University defeated Talladega College last week in two games. The first resulted in a score of 28 to 8, and the second in a score of 3 to 1. In the last game John Cade was the pitcher for A. U. He is the latest acquisition to A. U.'s fine string of pitchers. No one thought that Cade could pitch so well as he has proved he could in two games. In the game with Tuskegee Atlanta won by a score of 2 to 1. Tuskegee scored one in the first inning and then could score no more, whereas Atlanta waited until the fifth inning before she got one, and then one more in the eighth. This gives some idea of the excitement. The features of the game were the slugging of Maxwell, the professional base stealing of Captain Cater. It was admitted on all sides that Cater-Maxwell wireless circuit makes stealing against Atlanta an impossibility. The prospects for Atlanta's next year's team are brighter than ever before. There will be four pitchers as good as any we have met this season, with prospects of others to be added, while the infield and several recruits in training and anxious to try themselves in varsity games. At present preparedness is the watchword on the campus. Never before has Atlanta had so much land under cultivation for food supplies and never have prospects seemed brighter for meeting war conditions when school opens next October. Prof. G. A. Towns represented the University at the important conference held in Macon, called by Principal Hunt of Fort Valley High and Industrial school. Prof. Towns will be the commencement orator at the Normal Institute at Cordele, Ga. Last week Prof. Webster in company with his class in Geology took a hike to Kennesaw Mountain to study rock formation in that vicinity. NOTICE!

C.—Seed to plant an acre of Irish potatoes cost about $40 this spring. Seed sweet potatoes will not cost more than $4 per acre where vine cuttings taken from early-set plants are used. The yield of sweet potatoes per acre is usually greater than that of Irish potatoes and as a food they are as nutritious. Sweet potatoes may be grown throughout the Southern states and, of course, in certain other sections. Specialists in the U. S. Department of Agriculture are urging an increase acreage of this crop wherever it can be easily grown. Sweet potatoes, it is pointed out, are the South's chief instrument for quick and effective increase of the food supply. Seed is plentiful; last year's crop was second to the largest ever produced. By means of vine cuttings it is possible to plant almost unlimited acres of this crop and at the same time conserve the present supply. That is, a farmer who wishes to plant 10 acres will bed seed enough—say 8 to 10 bushels to get slips for one acre. Vine cuttings from this acre would plant many more acres, planting being possible until the first of August in the low South. This system, now widely used in the South, enables the utilization of land from which early potatoes, cabbage, and other truck crops have been taken. Sweet potatoes are not expensive to grow. The main limiting factor to the production of vast quantities by this plan is labor. Yields from fields set with vine cuttings are as large as from plants grown from slips. This method has the further advantage of preventing the transfer of disease which is carried on the tubers. The South doesn't need to learn how point out. Farmers know how to produce large yields of this crop. But the farmer must be impressed with the necessity of increasing his average of this crop, and then, when harvest comes, to prevent the enormous loss from improper handling and storing. The best way to keep sweet potatoes is handling and storing. The best way to grow sweet potatoes, the specialists to eep sweet potatoes is to store them in well-ventilated storage houses, not "dougouts." Storage houses should be made ready as soon as possible. In Farmers' Bulletin 548, "Storing and Marketing Sweet Potatoes," instruction for building such houses and for converting old and unoccupied buildings are given. NOTICE!
