The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXIII LEADING WHITE CITIZENS TO UPHOLD THE LAW Resolutions Condemning Crime Wave Passed By Body Nashville, Tenn, March 2—Sunday afternoon, February 24, in this city at Wilson Auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. there was organized by leading white citizens a Law and Order League for the suppression of lynch law. The meeting of the 24th followed a preliminary meeting of February 17th when a committee of seven, consisting of Dr. Edwin Mims, chairman; Judge George N. Tillman, Dr. Cray E. Morgan, C. A. Craig, Bruce R. Payne, P. D. Maddin and Lee J. Loventhal, was appointed to draft resolutions and to submit a plan of action to the meeting of the 24th. The meeting on the 24th was called to order by Chancellor J. H. Kirkland of Vanderbilt University who nominated Judge George N. Tillman as chairman of the meeting. The meeting was attended, according to the Nashville Banner of the 25th inst., which contains a full account of the proceedings, by the foremost men in education, business and professional life of Nashville, including Judge Samuel Cole Williams of the Supreme Court, Mayor Gupton of Nashville, and many others. The resolutions adopted occupied nearly three columns in the Nashville Banner of February 25th and are signed by twenty-six leading citizens of Nashville. The Law and Order League is to be incorporated as a general welfare corporation, the specific purposes of the corporation being outlined as follows: "The organization shall be known as the Law and Order League. "The object of the league shall be to bring about a campaign of education and by all other lawful means, the development of a sound public sentiment that will lead to the prompt and certain enforcement of existing laws for the prevention and punishment of crime. "To aid in the preparation and enactment of whatever new laws may be necessary for securing early and effective punishment of crimes and the maintenance of law and order. "To create and arouse a more active public sentiment in the young and old in favor of enforcement of law and to combat the evils of lawlessness. "To cultivate a spirit of higher respect for the majesty of the law, for the officers by whom and the agencies by which it is administered and to uphold the officers of the law in the performance of their duties. "To hold public meetings, prepare and distribute literature, provide lectures, and to urge the pulpit, press and schools to stress the necessity for the suppression of crime and the maintenance of law and order, to the end that mob violence and at least the more serious crimes shall be condemned by public sentiment and certainly punished by the established processes of the law. "The activities of this league shall be absolutely non-political—except in the direct advancement of the objects of its organization." The following excerpts from the resolutions are submitted: "We protest with all the emphasis we can command against atrocities that are too barbaric to be recited. We condemn any official who may be held responsible for the overthrow or non-enforcement of law. But we are forced to confess that the silence of the best people in the presence of this distressing situation and their unwillingness to grapple with it have helped to produce the conditions out of which have sprung lawless and frenzied mobs and timid officers of the law. We believe that the overwhelming sentiment of the citizens of this community and state is against this betrayal of law COLORED LAD GOES TO WEST POINT Military School Opens Doors Again to The Negro Race Dayton, O.—Byron Alexander. 17, colored, of 107 Gard avenue, has been named by Congressman Warren Gard as the appointee to West Point Military academy. Young Alexander, who grad- nated last year from Slivers, passed the preliminary test held in Dayton with the highest honor. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Forest Alexander. THE NEGRO STATE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION By J. H Wilson, Professor of Latin, Walker Baptist Inst, Augusta, Ga. The call for the teachers of Georgia to meet in Savannah for the purpose of a reorganization of the Negro State Teachers' Association was indeed a worthy one. It was highly gratifying to see the large number of teachers present and note the deep interest that all took in the too short session. Georgia having formerly had an organization of this kind, the questions that seem to be foremost in the minds of the teachers (some of them) are: What is the use of such an organization? If such an organization is perfected, what is the best way to make it a success? To the mind of one who is deeply interested in such a movement there are these suggestions: For an organization of this nature to meet with the greatest degree of success, it must be all embracing. The effort must be made to reach every section of Georgia. The organization must stand for more than the mere meeting of a set of teachers once a year to pull off some stale speeches that even their anxious classes are tired of hearing. The state should be divided into a number of districts. Each district should be comprised of a certain number of schools. These districts should have annual meetings known as district meetings, in debating, declaiming, essaying and athletics. The winner in each of these feats should be taken to the annual meeting of the association which should meet at some central point at a time of the year when all of the teachers can be present. These district meets will encourage the teachers of their particular districts to take an active part in the state association in the way that letters and circulars cannot. These meets will put every section of the state to work in a way that will begin permanent success to an organization that the Negro teachers of Georgia are standing in great need of. To the district doing the best work at the annual meeting of the association in debating, declaiming, essaying and athletics, a trophy should be given. These trophies should be brought back to each session of the association and contested for as before. An annual contest of this kind will create a high degree of enthusiasm and will do much in helping to train the young Negro in forenic and athletic contests. This is no small undertaking and it cannot be worked out in a day. Yet it can be done in a short time by an energetic committee of men and women who want to see the Georgia Negro Teachers' Association second to none in America. A. B. The above is the likeness of Mr. Paul R. Gray of Springfield, Mass., who invented the Gray Automatic Chute, a time and labor saving device which is being used by several large manufacturing plants. Mr. Gray is well known here, where he lived for many years prior to his going north a few years ago. While Mr. Gray is in the city he is placing his invention before the large manufactures, all of whom have spoken well of the device and several no doubt will install it. will meet at Urban League headquarters, Sunday at 4 p. m.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MARCH 9TH, 1918 Jeans Funds Teachers Meets Next Week DEMONSTRATOR E. A. WILLIAMS TO ADDRESS GATHERING Hope to Make "White Way" Across Southern States The Jeanes Fund workers of Georgia and other southern states will meet at Tuskegee, March 12th and 13th, to discuss the many problems which confront the rural worker. One of the problems necessary to the success of every endeavor is co-operation. Mr. Dugene A. Williams, district agent of the Ga. State Industrial College, has been invited to address the workers on "Community Co-operation." The phase of community co-operation which Mr. Williams has been asked to speak on is "Home Beautifying" and is extended through Prof. Geo. D. Godard, director of the Jeans Fund Workers of Georgia., as a result of a white wash and paint campaign which Miss Jaunita Conyers, home demonstration agent and Mr. Williams are conducting on the Fort Aryle road, Chatham county. Springfield Guyton, Ga., Newington, Ga., Oliver, Ga., Cameron, Zeigler, Sylvania, Millen, Midville, Wadley and Tennille, Ga. The school or some church is being made the center of this campaign, thus beginning at the heart of each community. This white wash paint is made of lime, cement, rice, soap, salt, alum, blueing, syrup and coloring matter. The demonstrator stated the paint will last four or five years. The cost completing a house including fence etc., ranges between $86 and $1.05, which is within the reach of every person living in the rural district. The demonstrators of Georgia intended to make a "white way" across the state but with the aid of the Jeanes Fund workers, an effort will be made to make a white way across the southern states. Mr. Williams left the city this week to address the Teachers and Farmers' Institute of Wheeler and Telfair counties at McKae, Ga., on "Food Production and Conservation" and attend a ham show by Agent O. S. Oneal of Ft. Valley. 1,000 hams were on exhibition. Several hundred farmers attended this meeting and many important speakers both white and colored were present. On his return from Tuskegee, Mr. Williams will pay official visits to many other agents in Georgia, to explain the food production and white wash campaign. NEW BEAUTY SHOP OPENED ON MONDAY The Nu-Life Beauty Shop, 530 West Broad street opened for inspection on last Monday. The hours for receiving were from 9 a.m. to 12 o'clock at night and during that time there was a steady stream of callers. The parlor is very neatly arranged and the fixtures and other equipment are of the very latest design. The proprietors Mrs. Edna Simpkins and Mrs. V. B. Roberts, received many congratulations among them was a letter from Mme. Estelle of New York, who founder the Nu-Life system. The room was very artistically decorated for the occasion and a large vase of flowers which was given by friends of the ladies added much to the beautifying of the place. PARTY OF BRUNSWICK MEN MOTORED TO CITY SUNDAY A congenial party of progressive business men of Brunswick motored to the city on last Sunday morning and remained until mid-night. The party consisted of Phoenix F. Williams, W. H. Johnson, W. A. Stewart, Dr. William Hammonds and Nathan Trezant. Upon reaching the city they drove to Savannah Home Association whose guests they were for the day and prepared to take in its pleasures that had been arranged for their enjoyment. After refreshing themselves, they partook of a well prepared lunch and later in the afternoon the party took a drive over the city accompanied by several members of the association. At night, after eating dinner, they were taken to the Eureka Club where they were cordially received. Everything possible was done to make their stay pleasant and they left for home well satisfied with what they received at the hands of their Savannah friends. It is said that unpolished rice is better for the health than the polished rice. Dr. Wilson Bruce Evans Dies Suddenly WAS A PROMINENT NEGRO IN DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Other Interesting News of the Nation's Capitol -Washington, D. C., March 6.—Dr. Wilson Bruce Evans, internationally known as an educator of the most effective caliber, dled suddenly last Thursday night at his home, 1910 Vermont Avenue, N. W., Heart disease, complicated with other ailments, was the cause. Dr. Evans had not been in good health for a number of years. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at St. Luke's P. E. Church, of which he had long been a member. The spacious edifice was packed with representatives of the school system, the religious and professional forces of the city and of the many federal departments. The last sad rites were conducted by Rev. T. J. Brown, rector of St. Luke's assisted by Rev. O. L. Mitchell, rector of St. Mary's P. E. Church, and Rev. A. W. F. Collier, assistant at St. Luke's. The music was furnished by the combined choirs of St. Luke's and St. Mary's churches, directed by W. Scott Mayo, and solos were rendered by Mrs. Charlette Wallace-Murray, of the public school, and Miss Revella Hughes, of Howard University. The culogy, touching the life, character and valued public services of the deceased, was pronounced by Rev. W. V. Tunnell, of Howard University. It was the ablest oration that has been heard on an occasion of this kind within the memory of this generation. The pall hearers were, honorary, Dr. Charles I. West, Former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, Judge Robert H. Terrell, Prof. W. S. Montgomery and Thomas L. Jones; active, George C. Smith, Lieut. Col. Arthur Brooks, R. R. Homer, J. Finley Wilson, W. J. Singleton and L. Melendez King. Dr. Evans has been actively identified with the public schools of Washington for twenty-three years, rising from the ranks by shear merit. It was he who developed the industrial idea in the local schools, working out the fundamentals in the old Mott school, which finally crystallized into the magnificent Armstrong Manual Training School on P Street, of which he became principal in 1902 and remained there until 1912. He built up the membership and teaching corps of this institution and it takes rank with the leading technical high schools of the land. Dr. Evans was an officer in the First Separate Battalion, District National Guard, a factor in the summer school at Hampton Institute, and was greatly admired by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. In late months he was contributing editor to the Washington Eagle and at the time of his death was head of an important division in the War department. He is survived by a wife, a son, who is a teacher in the schools of St. Louis, and a daughter, who is in the kindergarten department of the Washington schools. The life of Dr. Evans was a brilliant success. His work as an educator, soldier, journalist and a man of affairs in this community will keep his memory green throughout the years. Howard University will establish collegiate courses in agriculture and will confer the degree of bachelor of science in agriculture, starting with the next year's work. It has been felt by the trustees that Howard University can help greatly in meeting the demand for scientific agriculturists, farm demonstrators and experts in rural education, as well as to give an opportunity to those who may wish to prepare for the different lines of work in the federal service, such as plant inspectors, plant pathologists and horticulturists. Some of the main features of the new course will be agricultural chemistry, animal husbandry, horticulture, dairying, poultry husbandry and rural sociology. This is a timely recognition of the value of industrial training in the betterment of the everyday life of the nation. Representation for Negroes in the Department of Labor is assured. Secretary W. B. Wilson has announced intention to appoint a special advisor on Negro problems. This action was taken upon the advice of the advisory council after presentation of a peti- (Continued on Page Eight) STRINGENT ANTI-VICE LAW PASSED BY CITY COUNCIL Ordinance Expected to Reduce Immorality to Minimum. Augusta. Feb. 7.—City council last night put another swer in the lid on immorality. An ordinance was passed making it illegal for a driver of a public conveyance to transport women for immoral purposes, for one person to give to another information regarding immoral women or horses of immorality, for a person to entice another, on the street, to follow him or her for immoral purposes, or to rent a room within the city for the purpose of assignation. The ordinance, drawn and presented at the request of the Camp Hancock authorities, was passed without a dissenting vote. The penalty for violation is a fine of $100 or imprisonment for ninety days, either or both in the discretion of the recorder. Major Charles F. Clement, commander of the military police of the Twenty-eighth Division, appeared before council to urge the adoption of the ordinance. Major Clement made it clear that the purpose of the ordinance was to aid the government in the successful prosecution of the war. He made the rather startling statement that there are, at present, in the city of Augusta approximately 800 prostitutes and that 82 per cent of these are diseased. It is essential to efficiency, said the major, that venereal diseases among the soldiers be stamped out or reduced to a minimum. Major Clement urged co-operation on the part of the city in this matter, mentioning the fact that one army camp area is to be abandoned because of lack of co-operation between the military and municipal authorities. DR. CLAYBORNE TAKES WEST SIDE OFFICE Dr. O. C. Clayhorne who for the past several years has had his office at 217 Randolph street, where he resides has recently opened a new office on the west side in the Savannah Pharmacy building, West Broad and Maple lane, above the drug store. The new west side offices are composed of a suite of two rooms very nicely appointed. RELIGIOUS PROGRAM TO BE CONDUCTED AT CAMPS Atlanta, Ga.-At the recent conference of all Camp General Secretaries with Southeastern Department Headquarters Staff held in Atlanta, it was decided to conduct in the camps an intensive religious program during Easter Week, ending Easter Sunday. March 31st. "As Easter Week commemorates the last seven days of our Saviour's stay on this earth; likewise Easter Week of 1918 may be close to the last week for many of our boys in khaki and blue on this continent for many months to come," said Associate Executive Secretary W. W. Alexander, a Methodist minister of the Southern Conference, discussing the plan at the conference. "The men soon will be sailing overseas." "During Easter Week, away from home and church, men will be hungering in the camps for the proper religious services of all creeds. Nightly during Easter Week ministers representing the various denominations should conduct religious meetings in the Y. M. C. A. huts, with a service for all on Easter Sunday." The Camp Secretaries have returned to the training camps prepared to obtain the co-operation of the curious churches from the nearby cities and towns in arranging the intensive Easter Week religious program. Palms and Easter lilies will be used in decorating all Red Triangle buildings. CENTRAL PARK INSTITUTE NEWS Last week was examination and some hard work was done.

NOTICE TO RAIL ROAD MEN All colored men employed by the various roads coming into Savannah in any capacity, are respectfully requested to forward their name; and the nature of their position to J. H. Maxwell, 51 Massachusetts Ave., N. W., Washington, D. C. PAGE TWO Old-Fashioned Dresses for the Summer Wardrobe New York, Feb. 28—From Palm Beach, that winter playground, comes interesting fashion news. Everything is exceedingly simple, the lesson of conservation for the good of the nation has been thoroughly learned, and the designs shown by the New York.houses that have branches there are unusually attractive. There is quite a fad for quilting silks and satins and even cotton materials, so as to give an old time effect absolutely fetching. This is seen a great deal on hats—the brims, of course, and the crowns, too. Then there are patches of this quilting effect on the tunics of skirts and other unusual places. It is absolutely delightful on a cold snowy February day to stumble upon anything that will transport one, in the twinkling of an eye, to the fairyland of Spring. The shops on Fifth Avenue are glowing with color—jonquil yellow, apple green, dove gray as a foll, the deep blue of the hyacinth. The sleeveless jacket, which seems to have struck a new note in semi-sports clothes, may be of tawny copper or ruby red. Colored coats are beign shown (and worn now at Palm Beach) with white flannel skirts. White serge © MCCALL too, is to be much featured, and the straight-plaited skirt that may be easily laundered will be a favorite for tub materials. The knitted sweater of last year has given place to the sleeveless jacket or sweater of silk or wool. They are colorful, too, and are most becoming. Wool and silk jersey are being used a great deal for this purpose. If you are the type that looks well in old-fashioned costumes, now is your chance. You simply must have in your summer wardrobe an organdie dress that harks back to 1850 or so. The slightly full skirt and quaintly tight waist may be of one color, say robin's egg blue, with a kerchief or pleated © MCGILL For Spring—with Sammy Brown Belt ruffle of yellow around the neck. Gingham, too, is greatly used for these dresses, a glorified gingham combined with organdie. Silk mull has returned to favor, for it lends itself so charmingly to the clinging skirt of today. Indeed, the straight line is still the dominating factor of the mode. The skirts are narrow, waistlines changeable, sleeves long and tight or short and puffy; collars, too, may be either worn high or low. This is the day of individuality, so chose your style and stick to it. You have the sanction of Dame Fashion herself. Did you ever think it possible for you to have a dress made from two yards of material? Sounds like magic, does it not? But the explanation is very simple, as explanations usually arc. The Government of the United States asked that wool be conserved, so clever people set to work to see exactly how little material was necessary for a dress really smart and practical. The result is shown here, but it can either be made from two yards course, the collar is extra, but it can either be made of the same material, if more is provided, or a contrasting color. A dress of this type can be made of wool, serge or gabardine or the heavier cotton materials. There is a pocket—a great concession you must admit—only on one side. The question of the correct thing in footwear will be a very interesting one this year, for here, too, we must conserve. Leather has become very precious, and so there are whispers, and even more than whispers, of high shoes with the tops of cloth. Of course, this has been done before, but it was a fad then; and now, why, it is a necessity. Pumps and slippers with high spats will be in very good form for afternoon wear, and then, too, there is the sports shoes of wash kid, buckskin or canvas. The all-white pump and sports shoe are in better taste than those with insets of color. Heels are as you like them; for day-time wear the low or medium heel is preferable, and naturally the high heel is still in favor, for evening, though there are adorable little slippers with a low Louis XIII heel that is quite smart. Things military are still holding the center of the stage, and so it is not surprising to see an attractive little suit like the one illustrated here, of tan wool mixture, with the new Sammy Brown belt. The skirt is two-piece, buttoning at the side, and can be opened out. This fact makes it appropriate for cotton material as well as wool ones. NEGRO BUSINES LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER By A. B. Singfield The president of the State Negro Business League of Georgia is setting forth his plans to make the annual session of the State League a feature of interest to every business and professional man and woman of the race in the state. The first annual session of the state league will be held in May at Macon, Ga., and it is the hope of the president and the executive board that every section of the state will be represented. Therefore, it is deemed wise and necessary that in order to make this get together meeting in a business way at Macon as thrilling and inspiring as it should be every individual should do his "bit" to organize a local league in every town and city, where a local league is not organized, as well as to render support and encouragement by adding new members and building up the various leagues already organized. There are many towns and cities in this great state of ours in position to give splendid support to a local business league, which in turn would serve as a great incentive to build up substantial patronage to the Negro men and women conducting business in these various places. For we must forever admit that the power of organization is great. We are taught in the divine record that "In Union there is Strength," but there cannot be any union that will count for anything without organized efforts. Let us take a retrospective view of the uncultured part of our state where there is a crying need for organized effort along the business line and where the fields are fertile and ripe to harvest but because of the lack of co-operation and organization the other fellow is reaping all the profit and thereby waxing fat because of the failure of our people to organize. A list of the uncultured fields are as follows: An up-to-date and all-round Negro business league should be organized at Augusta, Ga.; Waynesboro, Warrenton, Washington, Macon, Americus, Valdosta, Brunswick. Thomasville, Bainbridge and many other places that time and space will not permit that I make personal reference to at this time. It is the hope of the writer that at some good day perhaps not very far in the future that every news paper in the state among our people will see fit to take up the issue of the day along the business line and help to champion the power of a business organization of the people, by the people and for the people. An Appeal The writer wishes to make this personal appeal to any business man or woman, that is engaged in business or who may be business inclined in any one of the above named towns or cities, or in any town not named for that matter, that believes in the progress and development of business or race enterprises where a league has not yet been organized to communicate with A. B. Singfield, 509 West Broad street, Savannah, Ga., and get any information wanted to aid in the organization of a local league. THE SAVANNAH TROPHONE, SATURDAY MARCH 9TH, 1918 This organization is of great significance and should be regarded as paramount to us. It was not the central act in the life of the Sainted Moses of our race, Booker T. Washington, when graduating from Hampton Institute, neither was it the central act of his life who he founded that noble institution of learning which must and will forever stand as a monument to his memory, but it was the central act of his life when he organized the National Negro Business League in August, 1900, at Boston, Mass., a medium thru which the Negro is brought together annually to discuss the success as well as the failures along the business line: For the last 15 years this great business foundation layed by that wizard of mental power together with the faithful few who assisted him has been gradually built up by the launching from time to time of the business or professional activities, as Miss Patrick puts it in her all directed paper, when she said, "the foundemental object of the Negro Business League as layed down by its great founder was to foster Negro enterprises, that the Negro standing in the business world will be made secure." One more farm bought, one more house built by Negro workmen for a Negro owner, one more patient cured by a Negro physician, some more successful men and women to organize and promote business, some more Negro lawyers pleading at teh bar for the untrampled right of suffrage. Some more Negro banks established for the financial safety of the Negro destiny, and last but not least, some more Negro customers and consumers to support the above mentioned lines of business will solve this vexed and intricate Negro problem, and thereby serve as many steps the Negro business league will have made up the progressive road of success and will make secure its place in the economic affairs of our great and prosperous country." "The paramount object the league wishes to impress on the masses is to aim to be your own employers as soon as possible. If you are a farmer, do not rest until you control the land on which you live and farm. If you are a mechanic seek first to build and own a home for yourself without mortgage, foregoing many things until you are free from debt; for a man that's free from debt is free indeed." Don't be contented as a hired servant to wash the windows of a building, but seek to own that building and be a blessing to the community in which you live. These are the things for which the Negro Business League stands. NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK APRIL 21th TO 27th Tuskegee, Inst., Ala., March 2.—Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, and chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, announced today that National Negro Health Week would be observed April 21st to 27th. He has received telegrams from Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the-National Negro Business League, and from Mr. J. G. Napier, president, in which Home Card UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINISTRATE WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP WIN THIS WA See other sites showing why you should do it. Our problem is to feed our Allies food as we can of the most concentrated space. These foods are wheat, beef, pork. Our solution is to eat less of these we have an abundance, and to waste. Bread and cereals.—Have at least oat, rye, barley, or mixed cereal rolls, bread certainly for one meal and, if p pastry. As to the white bread, if you vance; then he will not eat it and only as required. Use it. Meat.—Use more poultry, rabbit place of beef, mutton, and pork. Do more than once daily, and then serve meat cold or in made dishes. Use so nearly the same food value as meat.

As to the white bread, if you only from a baker, order it a day in advance; then he will not need it beyond its needs. Cut the loaf on the table and only as required. Use it in salt and cooking. Meat—Use more poultry, rabbits, and especially fish and sea food in place of beef, mutton, and pork. Do not use either beef, mutton, or pork more than once daily, and then serve smaller portions. Use all left-over meat cold or in made dishes. Use soup more freely. Use beans; they have nearly the same food value as meat. Milk.—Use all of the milk, must be no part of it. The children must have whole milk; therefore, use less cream. There is a great waste of food by not using all skim and sour milk your milk can be used in cooking and to make cottage cheese. Use buttermilk in cheese freely. Futs (butter, lard, etc.).—Dairy butter has food value vital to children. Therefore, use it on the table as usual, repelain for children. Use as little as possible in cooking. Reduce the use of fried foods to reduce the consumption of lard and other fats. Use vegetable oils, as olive and cottonseed oil. Save daily one-third of an ounce of animal fat. Waste no soap, it contains fat and the glycerine necessary for explosives. You can make scrubbing song at home, and, in some localities, you can sell your saved fats to the soap maker, who will thus secure our needed glycerine. Sugar.—Use less candy and sweet drinks. Use less sugar in tea and coffee. Use honey, maple sirup, and dark sirups for hot cakes and waffles without butter or sugar. Do not frost or ice cakes. Do not stint the use of sugar in putting up fruits and jams. They may be used in place of butter. Vegetables and fruits.—We have a superabundance of vegetables. Double the use of vegetables. They take the place of part of the wheat and meat, and, at the same time, are healthy. Use potatoes abundantly. Store potatoes and roots properly and they will keep Use fruits generously. Fuel—Cool comes from a distance, and our railway facilities are needed for war purposes. Burn fewer fires. If you can get wood, use it. GENERAL SUGGESTION.

Dr. Moton has also received a communication from Mr. Allen W. Clark, chairman of the National Clean-up and Paint-up Bureau, St. Louis, Mo., in which he states that the three silver cups which were given last year for the most efficient clean-up work, will be offered again this year. It may be recalled that last year, the three silver cups were awarded to Atlanta, Ga., Salisbury, N. C., and New Madrid, Mo., and were presented to representatives from these states at Chattanooga, Tenn., during the annual meeting of the league. It is hoped that members of the race will again welcome the opportunity to unite their efforts in one great and National Health Movement, and thus gain the benefit of the momentum and enthusiasm that will come from another effort of this character. As the late Dr. Booker T. Washington said in the 1915 call; "Without health and until we reduce the high death-rate, it will be impossible for us to have permanent success in business, in property getting, in acquiring education, or to show other evidences of progress. Without health and long life all else fails. We must reduce our high death-rate, dethrone disease and enthrone health and long life. We may differ on other subjects, but there is no room for difference here. Let us make a strong, long, united pull together." It is urged that communities planning to hold Health Week Campaigns, will notify the Secretary of the League and also write to Mr. Allen W. Clark, chairman of the National Clean-up and Paint-up Campaign Bureau, Security Building, St. Louis, Mo. He will be glad to send such printed matter as is issued by his bureau. A little later, a pamphlet, entitled, "The Conservation of Negro Health" will be issued from the Tuskegee Institute.

Among The Masons Among The Masons Masonry has grown to be a mighty factor in the cause of morality and human uplift. Don't forget our Masonic Home. Let us support it liberally at all times. Our Trust In this materialistic age, when old things are passing away, and the transition period tends to laxity and unbelief, it is refreshing to know that the Mason's trust is still in God—the great Jehovah of our fathers—the Supreme Architect of the Universe. As the ages come and go—as creeds are made and unmade—our faith remains unshaken and our hope is not dimmed. The Mason's God is not a mere abstraction—is not some far-off, mysterious being—but is 'our Father,' who is very near to us in time of trouble as well as in days of joy, and who will not forsake us nor forget us. Surely such a faith is better than riches, better than fame, better than power. It is our tower of defense, our rock of refuge. Masons may declare in very truth: "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want." The Strength of Masonry The most hardened pessimist in the fraternity cannot but see the enormous potentialities of Masonry. In its teaching it touches the very vital of most absorbing questions upon which mankind has ever speculated, the relation of man to God, the relation of man to man and the relation of man to himself. These questions are all touched upon in the great teachings of Masonry, although thousands receive the degrees and never realize that they are even approached. From the standpoint of the individual, then, Masonry contains the pabulum for his growth and development to a degree unguessed by most of us. From the standpoint of society, Masonry presents an organization dedicated to the uplift of the human race, which in numbers, in personnel and in social influence is unsurpassed. Where it has been allowed to show its influence the result has been instantaneous and powerful. Then it is not true that we are wasting our strength.—Masonic News. Masonry teaches men to think less selfishly of themselves and more for others; it shows them why they were sent into the world, and develops the instincts of benevolence and charity. The fraternizing of men whose religious or political opinions may widely differ is a reformation which Masonry largely promotes, and the influence is expassed.

Man is a social being; it is right that after serious work in the lodge room there should be that rational enjoyment which we call goodfellowship.—Selected. --- The mission of Freemasonry is to make men better, to refine their thots and purify their dreams, to broaden man's outlook, to lift up his altitude, to establish in amplitude and resoluteness the life of man in all its relations. Masonic Freemasonry. Introduction into Masonry Every step necessary to the process of induction into Masonry should be so fitting as to prepare the candidate in mind and heart for the reception and retention of its doctrines. T the end, the officers who are charged with the duty of clothing the novitiate should be circumspectly careful of their words and their conduct. Very much depends upon first impressios. If, in the preparation room there is permitted censure of conduct and slippancy of speech, these will pre-occupy the mind of the candidate and the chances for favorable and lasting impressions will be almost impossible. When the process of preparation begins, no one should be permitted to converse with or suggest to the candidate anything which will not prepare him for the lessons which are inseparable from the conference of the degree. If every step in the process is not dignified and considerate, he will not be favorably impressed and his promises of faithfulness and loyalty to his obligations will be frequently disregarded. The membership in general should be thoughtful and considerate, even in the presence of each other, especially in that of the novice. He is critically observing the words and actions of his new friends. If they are unkind and coarse in conduct and profane in speech he will be forced to conclude that Masonry is a farce.—Masonic Home Journal. It is asserted that there are only about ten per cent. of the members of Masonic lodge who are really Masons. Ninety per cent. who have been brought into the light have been unable to see anything.—Masonic Journal.

BEACH INSTITUTE NEWS Mr. Townsend, of Athol, Mass., a former instructor in Charleston, S. C., was present at chapel exercises of Beach Institute last Wednesday morning. He spoke to the school about the hard work that must be done to secure an education. He referred to his acquaintance with Miss Louisa M. Alcott and what she had told him of her struggle for an education and success in life. Miss Laura Beam, assistant superintendent of the American Missionary Association schools, spent Monday in visiting the different grades at Beach Mr. Denegal, the librarian of Savannah Colored Library, kindly allows Beach Institute to have some helpful books every two weeks. The students of Beach regret very much the death of Mrs. Mary Jones' husband, who died on Tuesday last Friday. Some of the pupils attequed the funeral on Harris street. Mrs. Jones was, last year, one of Beach's students. Two new copies of "Lorna Doone" and two of "A Tale of Two Cities," have recently been given for the school library. Some desks have been placed in the library and the senior pedagogy class will hold some of its classes there.

K JUDGE SCHWARZ Judge Schwarz is to be commended, even though he did but his duty last Monday when he imposed a severe penalty on the white man who insulted a respectable colored woman on West Broad street the night before. In his arraignment of the culpit, the judge said, "You are getting off light. I am surprised that these colored men did not take the law into their own hands." The good minister, husband of the victim of this insult, and his companion deserve to be commended too, for their great self-respect and their respect for law and order and for their faith in the law as dealt out in Savannah courts. It is this sort of justice that makes good citizens, breeds confidence in our people and makes us know that the dual standard of justice is passing out of the courts of the land. Yes, a man is sometimes to be commended for doing his duty. It takes a big man and a courageous man to do his duty, at times, under such circumstances. We are not surprised to learn that a clear case of undemocratic conduct of the affairs of the Taliaferro County Draft Board has been made out. Repeated complaint has been heard from this board and from some others. Early last fall another board in this state was turned out because it certified all Negro registrants and relieved all whites. During the recent farmers conference at the Georgia State College, at least one farmer made open complaint that in his county the wage hands and helpers on Negro farms were being certified while those on the farms of whites were being exempted or given "deferred classification". When pressed for details, the delegate said he could name ten men in his county whose business had been affected. We have no doubt that, in less degree, this practice may be found in many other places. So many narrow white men get into office, feeling that "the deer peepul" have honored and elevated them for the express purpose of taking care of their "interest" and they invariably construe the "interests" of their constituents to be to look after keeping the Negro man "in his place." But these things are going "to be done away." VICTORY VITAL TO NEGRO It is as vitally important to the Negro people of the United States and of the world that success shall crown the arms of the Allies, and perhaps more so, as to any other group of people. The reason is clear—we are farther away from the realization and enjoyment of the principles of democracy and the benefits of free civilization. Here in America we have been worsted and alienated in every quarter and have been driven for fifty years to undertake the unnatural and impossible task of setting up a "kingdom within a kingdom," of establishing and founding a group civilization, with different and varying ideals within a still more powerful group, with the onus all upon us. America was founded to establish the principles of Democratic government. Through the great westward movement, following its discovery, were nominally colonization, the spirit and undercurrent which stimulated successful emigration were primarily the innate desire of oppressed people for freedom of body and soul. Every European nation has had its day of slavery and caste and social and industrial oppression, and in most of them these conditions still survive, actually if not nominally. WRIGHTSVILLE, GA., NEWS Mrs. Willie Mae Dixon and her sister, Miss Willie Dixon, spent a pleasant afternoon in Donaver on last Saturday. Little Master James Jordan, Jr., is visiting Midville. Miss Alma Hicks has returned from contest prompt and it is pre the contestant week's Tribu Friday night Temple. JES The member These epochal periods of European history, known as the Reign of Terror, the Reformation and the Renaissance were but a sort of volcanic outburst of a too pent-up desire for human liberty and class self-determination. The great Civil war is now acknowledged, even by the South, to have been a great concession to the greater principles of human liberty for which oppressed peoples everywhere have been yearning since the barbarous institution of serfdom began in the childhood of the world. All the panorama of social war, industrial and economic conflict and militaristic and political unrest, of men and nations,—these cycles and changes which drive men and nations to war and blood, are processes in the evolution of ideal civilization. The great principles of righteous human relationships are lofty and above the sordid issues which selfish men and unwary governments have made. The right of humanity, individual and group, to self-assertion and opportunity is unquestioned and imperishable—and the world is moving irresistably on toward the permanancy of that right. We, twelve millions of Negroes of the United States, are as vitally concerned in the issues of this war as any people. The war is being waged under influence of the very principles for which we in America have been fighting since we have aroused from our sleep. We must fight for the preservation of the nation; and once it is saved, we must fight to have that nation propound the eternal doctrines of human liberty and democracy as practical realties. Yea more, we must begin to work on these against the days when peace shall be treated for, in order that our interests shall take consideration with those other groups in the great coalition for a permanent peace. Here follow, then, the salient reasons why the great war is our war, as much as it is that of any other group of Americans: The integrity and salvation of the nation depends upon victory,—without victory all is lost—yea, Hope even. In winning the war, we shall establish, beyond the peradventure of a doubt, our right to full incorporation into American life with heirship to all its ideals and traditions. Our race has a glorious record for valiant soldiery and unblemished loyalty to sustain. We have made martyrs in every struggle—we have made no traitors. It is our duty to rise supremely above all that is selfish and sordid and forgetting all else, to fight for the defense of starving and outraged women and children, of all races, and for the establishment of universal and uniform justice and democracy as the heritage to all men. The great institution of civilization is not fully developed and established, as there would be no race antagonism no mobs, no oppressions, no national greed for power and there would be no occasion for war. These conditions are manifestations of uncivilization and of barbarism; they are superficial because man-made, and they are ephemeral in the cycle of civilization because based upon wrong. Civilization is still in the process, and America is destined to be dard-bearer in the march of nations toward the great goal of a fully-realized civilization. The Negro must help to bear that standard as he has done from the time when man first got his foot in the path of Christian civilization. Wasn't it Simon the Cyrenian, who next to the Christ bore the first standard of civilization? And Crispus Attucks who ran through the streets with the first torch of Liberty? And Sergeant Carney who raised the broken flag-staff at Battery Wagner? Would it be strange if such another uncanny thing should occur in going "over the top."? We've got our own sense of honor, our own self-respect, our own personal and racial ideal to keep enthroned. Stick In, then, and help to turn the tide of the world to driving the wheels of civilization, for in it are life and liberty and fraternity and opportunity and equality in all things.

Dear Sir: Please allow me space in your paper to emphasize a few important facts concerning my school. It might be interesting to know that I have a real large school and that I am getting along nicely, with plenty of work to do. It might further interest you to know that I am interested in the work and am putting forth every effort as a teacher to improve the school intellectually, morally, spiritually and financially. Realizing the fact that this is a time of war, despondency and grief, let us put forth every effort for doing good. Let us cherish the hope that a better and brighter future awaits us, pressing forward to the future, and looking not back. I shall endeavor to teach this lesson in my school in order that the minds of both the large and small pupils will become awakened to the fact that there is a great responsibility resting upon them as to what the future generation will be. I hope every parent will realize this important fact and govern them selves accordingly, and by so doing we shall have better schools, better children, better teachers and better communities. I hope every one, and especially those who are interested in race pride, will extend to the Wrightsville school your best wishes and honest prayers. Yours for the cause of upbuilding Pearl C. Heath.

Bowen, one of the most wideawake colored real estate agents in the South, occupies a large section of this commodious building. The versatile and affable assistant cashier, E. C. Blackshear, exercises great pains and patience in answering questions and showing visitors even the minute details of this bank where resources are pushing a half million dollars. This bank does a mail order banking business, and with its modern equipment of the best constructed fire and burglar-proof safety vaults, it should be the pride and receive the patronage of the race everywhere.

Though but a year, dear father since you took your early flight, it seems to me that its only yesterday that death stole away with you and left me all alone. I realize that you would not live always, yet, it is so hard for me to give you up during the past twelve months. I shall meet you some day at the river where bright angels' feet have trod with its crystal tide forever flowing by the throne of God. Que the margin of the river, washing up its silver spray, we will walk and work hip ever, all the happy golden day.

It is to be hoped that she will buy just enough of that which is needed and not pay any attention to the current tumors that there will be a serious shortage of food. Our advice is to buy the usual amount of food and the United States Food Administration will see that there is sufficient food available for all of us, thus preventing hardships. MORTUARY Wm. C. Golf After a brief illness of a few days, Mr. Wm. C. Goff died on Sunday afternoon, Feb 24, at his home, 915 Elliott avenue. He was buried on Thursday Feb. 28, from Harmon St. Baptist church, Rev. Wm. Durden, pastor, of which he was a member for several years. He was a member of Mt. Moriah Lodge of Masons, Chas. Sumner Lodge, No. 87 K. of P. and Chatham Lodge of Oddfellows. He leaves a loving wife, little daughter, sister, father, brother-in-law and other relatives to mourn his death. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank the many friends for their kindness shown the bereaved family during the illness and death of Mr. Wm. C. Goff, also for the many floral tributes. A number of wealthy women of New York City have pledged their households to live on voluntary food conservation rations until the war is over. They have started a campaign to get their wealthy friends to sign the same pledge. This instance of the rich people, who have the most and can spare the most, agreeing to do more than the country expects of each individual citizen, is most gratifying. MNE. ESTELLE SURPRISED New York. On Saturday evening February 16th, a surprise was tendered Mme. Estelle by her mid-winter class. Indeed it was a real surprise. The party gathered at the residence of Mrs. Josephine B. Tate and at 12:30 o'clock marched to the home of Mme. Estelle where Mrs. Madge G. Flemming gained admission and the crowd followed. Mme was getting ready to retire after a day's labor in her college and had just returned from the South in the interest of "Nu-Life System" a few days previous. It was quite a treat and made her feel that her class had her at heart and was thinking about her while she was away. Dancing was indulged in and refreshments served in a way that one wouldn't think that the war was on. At 3 o'clock Mr. J. H. Anderson, editor of the Amsterdam News, presented an eight-day parlor clock in behalf of Mrs. J. B. Tate. Julia White and Mrs. Barron Mme. Estelle expressed her appreciation and quite an enjoyable time was spent by all until the wee hours. Quite a number was present, among whom was Mrs. Anna Hemmings of Washington, D. C. Try not to use any more sugar than necessary. One sweet dish is enough at a meal. The United States Food Administration has but one police force, in its volunteer food conservation campaign, the American woman, and she has responded nobly. She is depended upon to see that the regulations of the Food Administration are observed by the few who do not know what this country expects of them. There are always a few people who refuse to do what their government asks them. But it is the duty of all of us not to allow a few to continue to hinder the people of the earth in the struggle of freedom of nations. food 1 buy it with thought 2 cock it with care 3 serve just enough 4 save what will keep 5 out what would spoil 6 hemo-green is best LARVUS ALGES Weldon Lodge No. 26, I.

Shipping Rides --- Hampton, Va., March 2—War is making inroads on the Hampton Institute staff and student body. Hampton has "loaned" Charles H. Williams, physical director for boys since 1910, to the Phelps-Stokes Foundation and the Federal Council of the churches of Christ in America for the remainder of the school year. Mr. Williams will begin at once to make a careful study of recreational activities, in and around 16 army cantonments, as they effect colored troops. He will also study religious and social conditions. The intercollegiate sports in which Hampton has been scheduled to take part are all over. The inter-class athletics will be carried on, according to general plans already made, under the direction of Major Allen W. Washington, Hampton's Commandant of Cadets. Charles H. Williams, who has been so successful in training winning teams in football, basketball, baseball, and track athletics, hails from Camp Nelson, Ky. He received his trade and academic training at Hampton Institute, where he was graduated in 1900. Then he spent one year in the physical directors' course at the Y. M. C. A. College, Springfield, Mass. Since 1910, with quiet effectiveness and with uncommon thoroughness, Mr. Williams has worked early and late, summer and winter, for the building up of strong, pure bodies among the 500 boys at Hampton Institute and for the development of athletic teams that have reflected credit on Hampton and the entire colored population. Mr. Williams has succeeded in carrying out successfully his wise aim of giving boys all-round training, rather than training a few winning teams which would merely advertise Hampton Institute. His excellent work has attracted the attention of men who are interested in national problems. Atlanta. Ga.—An intercollegiate benefit concert will be given at the Auditorium-Armory on Friday evening March 22. The concert will be participated in by the combined choral and orchestral forces of the following six institutions for higher learning in Atlanta: Spelman Seminary, Gammon Theological Seminary, Morehouse College, Atlanta University, Morris Brown University and Clark University. The conductors are Miss Marie King, Clark University; Miss Marguerite Woodruff, Atlanta University; Mrs. Willie F. McKinney, Morris Brown University; Miss Eleanor Stevenson, Spelman Seminary and Kemper Harreld, Morehouse College, the last named being general director.

Each school will render one number as follows: Atlanta University, piano solo; Morehouse College, Glee Club; Morris Brown University, Girl's trio; Clark University, Soprano Solo; Gammon Theological Seminary, Men's Quartet; Spelman Seminary, Girl's chorus. The concert is to be given for the benefit of the Gate City Free Kindergarten, Lennard Street Orphans' Home and Carrie Steele Orphans' Home. The price of admission is: General admission to dress circle and balcony, 25 cents, children under twelve 15. LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE TO SUPPRESS CRIME and order, but it needs to be organized into definite action. If we do not do something we realize that what has happened in other places is just as likely to happen in Nashville or any other community any day. As for ourselves, we will be silent no longer. We not merely protest, but are resolved to do our utmost to prevent such catastrophes in the future. "We have a strong conviction that lynching is unjustifiable under any and all circumstances, and is wrong in the sight of man and God. Whatever may be said of a certain wild justice in pioneer days, or of conditions that prevailed after the Civil War, we cannot now defend lynching. We must condemn it at all times, and especially since it has become associated with the monstrous orgies of latter days. If one group of men decide that lynching is justifiable for one crime, another will decide that it is equally justifiable for another, and so on, until, as the facts established, it is resorted to for every sort of crime or offense. Reliable statistics show that only about one-fourth of the lynchings in recent years have been for crime of rape. Nor are the victims confined to the Negro race, for white men and women have been lynched as well. A mob knows no reason, makes no distinction and sets no limit upon its passion. Mob violence is a contagious social disease, and instead of deterring crime it incites it. Lawlessness begets lawlessness. If lynching occurred in every state, it would be none the less serious in any community. The fact that it has become a national menace should not weaken or mitigate local efforts against the practice." "While public sentiment is thus being educated, we shall use every opportunity to bring to bear upon the responsible officers the pressure of organized public opinion. We will uphold them in their enforcement of law. We request judges to make mob law a special subject of instruction to all grand juries. We urge sheriffs to prepare for any emergency that may arise. We notice in the newspapers that the judge and attorney-general of that district have already taken steps to investigate the most recent lynching in this state. They must be aware of the provisions of the ouster law of 1915, that allows them, or any ten citizens of the county in which the lynching occurs, to institute proceedings to oust any officer who fails to do his duty. The same law provides that the governor shall have power, and it shall be his duty, whenever he has knowledge that reasonable grounds exist for the proceedings authorized by this act against any state, county or municipal officer, to ask the attorney-general of the state, the district attorney, as the case may be, to institute and prosecute the same against the offending officer. This law has been construed by the Supreme Court to be applicable to sheriffs, and in the case of Sheriff Reichman of Shelby county, it was held that unless the sheriff uses all means provided by law to enforce the law, he has failed in his duty. It is apparent that it is just as much the sheriff's duty to protect human life and keep down mob violence as it is to prevent the sale of liquor. It is also worthy of note that the Supreme court has held that the officer is not entitled to trial by jury, but the proceedings are summary in character and the judge himself can render judgment on the facts." The resolutions further "earnestly invite the cooperation of the colored race," and refer to the unfortunate "impression which prevails with some that Negroes tend to expend their indignation against the crime of lynching and to lose sight of the crime which often leads to lynching. We insist that the condemnation of the cause shall be as unqualified as the condemnation of the consequences. The attitude of the Negro toward the Negro criminal is often too protective and that of the whites too retaliatory." Then follows an appeal to the leaders of both races to "obliterate the condemnation and punishment of those who as individuals or as communities, would take the law into their own hands." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has ad dressed a letter to the officers of the new Law and Order League why sire them that as an organization it o'vh not to wait until the next outrage occurs but that they should see to it that prompt and effective action is taken by the Governor, and the authorities of Tennessee to bring to justice those who so foully outraged the laws of Tennessee in the Estill Springs horror on February 12th. BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTER By Albon L. Holscy If this particular little article was not already named "Booster Number Three," I would call it "A Conference I would like to see." You know this thing of getting together is "in the air." Talk with men and women of the race and all of them are agreed that what we need is for the race to get together. Race unity, race loyalty and all the other terms applied mean simply that there should be more pulling together among us for permanent progress along all lines, and I noticed last week that half a dozen or more of our leading papers were pulling hard as usual for us to pull together. Now, we return to that Conference that I would to see. It is this: In each city or town of any size, let there be an occasional conference between housewives of our race and the Negro merchants. There is every reason, it seems to me, to commend and encourage such local conferences. In the first place, women purchase Super cent of the merchandise consumed in homes, which means that colored women have control over a "mighty big" purse; a purse that jingles a billion dollars a year. These good women have said in the past some of our merchants charged higher prices; fail to give good service, to carry a diversified stock, to keep their stores attractive, etc. We know that many of our business men are modern in every particular and cannot be classed with slip-shod merchants, but the fact remains that if more of that billion dollars was spent with Negro business men, many not complain; they do this willingly that victory may be won. The gratitude of the world will be for those who have joined with the United States Food Administration in so managing our food supplies that democracy may be victorious. When it is over "over there" what can you say that you have done to help win this war? You can't be a soldier or a sailor, but if you just help pass the message on that "food will win the war" you will be helping to bring victory to a peace-loving world. Yes, you can do something—where there is a will you will surely find a way. Miss G. A.

Whoever calls a conference in your city will begin a movement of far reaching possibilities. All of which reminds me that the progressive Local Negro Business League at Saranah, Ga., has decided to have a Ladies Auxiliary. That local league is a model in many respects. CANNING CLUB NOTES Tuesday March 5th, at the regular monthly meeting of the mothers at Mrs. Pearson's school at the college, a canning club was organized by Miss Conyers, home demonstration agent.

When bread is made with a fifth or more of some wheat substitute is may be called Victory bread. A meal that is wheatless is a victory meal. An American Victory meal is a meal which is in accordance with the request of the United States Food Administration relative to wheat, meat fats and sugar. The Council of Bishops at their meeting in Louisville, Ky., decided to allow their supervising officers and ministers to deliver food conservation messages to their congregations at such times as the United States Food Administration may desire. Try corn bread and see how goot it can be. There are many kinds. You will wonder why you did not use it every day before the war. It is nourishing, too. A cup of corn meal gives even more fuel to your body than a cup of wheat flour. Do you use corn meal mush for a breakfast food? It is both cheap and good. Cooked in skim milk instead of water it is extra fine and the fod value of the dish is nearly double. The United States Food Administration does not intend to place any restrictions on the use of such food materials as milk, poultry and eggs, fish, fruit, potatoes and vegetables, which are classed as 'perishable products'. Since we must save wheat, we shouldn't use more of the 'perishable products. Before you buy some of the food's which you are asked to use sparing stop and think that your demand f We have 13 American workers cut the now. Africa has only one missionary to ever 133,000 souls. Our Easter songs are good. Two of them by Dr. Tanney, a man of our own people. Surely this great Africa should be known to all our people in churches and schools. Africa contains one-fourth of all the land surface of the whole earth, and one-seventh of all the people in the world live in Africa. Colored Baptists during the last 40 years have given to Africa 62 workers and trained more than 100 native workers and evangelists. Africa's natural wealth equals that of any other two continents. Africa produces one-third of the world's gold and 90 per cent. of all the diamonds. The Easter program is a reproduction of sketches from Jean Machenzul's book "African Adventures," which beautifully portrays the work of Christianity among African tribes. With all Africa's natural wealth, there is a greater wealth of 180,000,000 or more souls for whom Jesus died, and they need the gospel. Will we go, let go or help go? At it, all at it all the time. Let every pastor see that every department of his church joins the Sunday school on the fifth Sunday of March in the Easter exercises so all may help our workers in Africa. War conditions make it imperative that we be loyal to the Lord as never before. For years the Foreign Mission Board has sent from 100,000 to 250,000 programs to our Sunday schools. This year, because of the tremendous cost of material and labor, we must confine our sending to those who will remember our Foreign Mission work on Easter Sunday. After 21 years of my very best self, given to interesting our Baptist Zion in the redemption of Africa, on this February 13 my twenty-first anniversary, I am saddened over the "little done and the vast undone." Enlistment of 500 churches who will give weekly and report monthly will greatly aid our workers and cheer your old field hand. Yours in His Service. L. G.

Prof. Arthur U. Craig, special agent of the Food Administration in charge of work among the colored people of the country, was a visitor at the recent session of the National Negro Press Association in Nashville, Tenn., and delivered a very comprehensive address to that body on how the Negro in his various employments and activities may aid the nation in the conservation, and production of food. Mr. Craig still maintains an office in Washington in connection with the National Food Administration and will soon have an important announcement to make touching campaign plans among the ten millions of Negroes of the country.
