VOLUME XXXIII Drowned at Ocean Steamship Wharf WAS RIDING ON TRUCK WHEN ACCIDENT OCCURRED Dragged for Body Several Days but Has Not Yet Been Recovered Mr. Middleton Anderson was drowned at mid-day on last Saturday at the Ocean Steamship Company docks. On account of the strike of the dock hands he was pressed into service to assist in provisioning one of the company's ships that was lying at the pier. He had sent in several trucks of provisions and on the last load he boarded 214 one of the electric trucks to ride up to the gang plank and seated himself on a barrel of sugar. As the truckman reached the point to unload, he turned sharply, which brought him near the edge of the wharf; the turn was sudden and with such force that it jolted the barrel upon which Anderson was seated off the truck, the barrel striking the edge of the wharf throwing him violently against the side of the ship as the body plunged into the water. So quickly was the occurrence that those about him were bewildered for a time. An attempt was made to rescue the drowning man and a line was thrown out to him but he made no effort to grasp it. It is thought that the lick he received when thrown against the side of the ship caused him to become unconscious. Efforts have been made every day since the accident to recover the body and the point where he fell overboard has been thoroughly dragged, but up to this time the body has not been recovered. Mr. Anderson has been in the employment of the company for a number of years and was baggage checker. He was considered a valuable man. He was 29 years old and has a wife and three children.

Pekin Theatre Gutted By Fire Pekin Theatre Gutted By Fire POPULAR PLAYHOUSE SUSTAINS ABOUT $2,000 LOSS Cause of Fire Proves a Mystery to Theatre Managers The Pekin Theatre, Hull and West Broad streets, was visited by a disastrous fire Wednesday morning about 2 o'clock. The entire upper middle portion of the house was gutted by the flames which shot high into the air and attracted a large crowd. As to the cause of the fire the management is at a loss to explain. It started in the looth containing the two moving picture machines, and before it was put out, had eaten its way through the entire middle portion of the house and down to the back entrance of the lobby. It was stated that every thing seemed all safe and sound when the house was closed down about midnight and there were no lights left burning up stairs where the fire started. It could not be ascertain yesterday whether the house would be reopened by the present owners. The Pekin was one of the best theatres in the South owned and operated by Negroes.

Department of Education, Miss S. C. Houstoun has organized with the assistance of other ladies a reading club, which, when the course is satisfactorily completed, entitles each student to a diploma from the department at Washington. It was at one of the resume meetings of this club that Rev. T. J. Goodall delivered an elevating lecture upon "Educational aspects of the Book of Deuteronomy." The club has just completed a study of this book under the supervision of the department experts. Dr. Claxton, the head of the department of Education has definitely promised Miss Houstoun that he will speak to the club if he can come to Savannah this year. Prof. E. B. Hodges of the Savannah High school is scheduled to address the club upon an "Insight into Shakespeare's Works". at a later NUMBER 32 Army Continue Recruiting Stevedores CONTRARY PRESS DISPATCH ARE UNTRUE Unlimited Number of Qualified Negroes Wanted for This Work No instructions have been received by the Savannah, Ga., army recruiting station, which is headquarters for the district, to discontinue enlistments for the Stevedore Regiments of colored men, as press dispatches from Washington stated recently, according to information received from the Savannah main station today. In reference to the press dispatches, which stated that War Department will not prosecute further recruiting for this branch of the service in the Southeastern states, the recruiting officials stated that the article, as far as their knowledge of the facts is concerned, is erroneous and misleading. Attempts to obtain a verification from the War Department were of no avail. "Such statements are an injustice to the recruiting service," it was stated by the officials, "especially at this time when extraordinary efforts are being made to recruit colored men for the Stevedore and labor units. A special advertising campaign is now on as may be seen by the hand-painted posters in towns and cities throughout the district calling for colored volunteers for the army. An unlimited number of colored men are wanted for this work and any between the ages of 18 to 21 and 30 to 40 who are physically qualified may enlist at the nearest army recruiting station. "In order to clear up the doubts which such statements have caused," the statement continues, "the army recruiting officials request the newspapers, post masters, and city officials of every town and city in South Carolina and Southeast Georgia to post in consplcious places posters and notices informing colored men that they are still wanted in the Stevedore'regiments of the army." EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION PLANNING BIG MEETING The Georgia Association for the Advancement of Education Among Negroes is planning to hold a great meeting in Atlanta May 2nd and 3rd. Prominent ministers, educators and business men from all sections of the state are expected to attend and address the gathering. A committee of prominent business and professional men will urge the governor and state superintendent of schools to be present and speak also. It was planned at first to hold the meeting in Macon, but after convincing the matter very thoroughly the committee having in charge the place of the meeting decided it would be better to meet in Atlanta this year. Among other reasons urged upon the committee for holding the meeting in Atlanta were the great probability of having an address from the governor and state superintendent and the desire of persons from all parts of the state to visit Camp Gordon and see our soldier boys; the opportunity to visit the large schools located in Atlanta and to hear the great chorus made up of the students in these schools. Dr. Jas. H. Dillard, who has charge of the John F. Slater and Anna T. Jeanes Funds and who is unusually well posted on educational conditions throughout the South, has been invited to make an address. It is the plan of the management to bring together a group of persons unusually well informed on educational conditions with the hope of arousing interest on this all-important subject among all classes. This is expected to be the largest gathering in the interest of education among Negroes ever held in the state and every person interested in having our educational facilities improved should, if necessary, make a sacrifice to be present. Business men, ministers, teachers and other professional men and women are especially urged to be present and take part in the deliberations. ARCADIA CHURCH President A. H. Dunhay and Messrs Fred.

C., April 1.—Five hundred young colored men have been taken from Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va. and sent to Camp Upton, New York, one of the most liberal of the cantonments of the National Army. They will there be connected with the 367th Infantry and will be under the command of colored company officers. Other transfers are also being made from Camp Lee to other camps where the men will be under command of colored company officers, and it is probable that shortly there will be no colored drafted men at that camp, from which place so many complaints have come growing out of race issues. This solution of a situation which has given the colored people, and the War department considerable concern, will be warmly welcomed, and promises to yield helpful results. * * * At the urgent request of Hon. Henry B. F. MacFarland, 1st Vice Chairman of the District of Columbia Chapter of the American Red Cross and former District Commissioner, Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, has consented to serve as a member of the finance committee of this chapter in connection with the drive for one hundred million dollars, which is to be made by the American Red Cross during the week of May 20-27. The chairman of the District of Columbia Chapter of the Red Cross organization is Rear Admiral S. A. Staunton, retired, an ardent friend of Negro education and an earnest advocate of the equality of opportunity for every American citizen. --- "The Loyalty of a Race," the elaborate historic photoplay, to be presented throughout the country under the auspices of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee, is being filmed this week by the firm having the contract for the art work.

The production will be placed before the people under the personal supervision of Ralph W. Tylor, secretary of the Soldier's Comfort Committee. The goal sought is a fund of $2,000,000 for the relief of the dependents of colored soldiers who are fighting the battles of liberty in the national army. The picture will be shown in the leading theaters all over the land. Bookings are being rapidly made. Jerome A. Johnson, for fifty years clerk in the Internal Revenue Bureau, Treasury Department, is dead. A strong letter was sent by the Internal Revenue Bureau commending his long and efficient labors and regretting the loss of so valuable a government helper. --- Emmelt J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, was at Tuskegee Institute, Ala., last week, attending the exercises commemorative of Founder's Day. April 5, set apart as the birth of the late Booker T. Washington. --- It is expected that the proposed colored bureau in the Department of Labor will be organized at an early date. Eugene Kinckle Jones is favorably spoken of as special advisor for this department, as his ideas on Negro labor and Negro migration are in sympathy with the progressive Negro through the country. Any colored man who is opposed to the free development of the Negro in American industry will not be acceptable to our people. URBAN LEAGUE ADDS NEW BRANCHES Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League has returned to New York after a two weeks' visit to cities in the Middle West, where the League has affiliated organizations and to additional cities which the league is organizing. In St. Louis and East St. Louis the League has succeeded in getting together organizations which in the very near future will open offices on both sides of the river, with trained executives in charge of each. For the work of these two groups, including the expenses of a settlement house in St. Louis, the sum of $10,000 will be required, the receipt of which reasonable assurance has been given by interested local persons. Addressed forty members of the Rotary Club composed of leading business men of East St. Louis, which will make itself responsible for the raising of $2,000 of the fund needed. In Milwaukee, the local group of white and colored citizens, which met in the City Club on Tuesday of last week, authorized the making of a survey of the colored population at an expense no greater than $200. This work will be done by a member of the League's staff from Chicago.

The league has issued the following statement from its National Office, 2303 Seventh Avenue:Persons of training and experience in dealing with social problems, or trained persons desiring to hold executive positions in social work are invited to correspond with the league's office, inasmuch as numerous positions requiring ability are being brought to the league's attention and the number of competent applicants for positions is far below that of the demand.

Lewis Engaged Springfield, Massachusetts, April 6 The case of Ralph E. Powell, the young Negro who shot Floyd H. Pollhill March 12, after the latter had headed a demonstration of workmen in the Van Norman Machine Tool Company's plant in Wilbraham Avenue against the employment of Powell among the white men, was again postponed this morning in Police Court on the request of representative colored citizens of Springfield who have interested themselves in the young Tuskegee graduate. The date now set for the preliminary hearing of the case is April 12. Powell, who was alone and friendless when he made the attack upon Poll hill, whom he held to be chiefly to blame for his discharge from the Van Norman shop, will not be lacking in chlamps when the case comes to trial. One of the leading Negros of the cuntary. Atty. William A. Lewis, of Boston, former assistant United States district attorney, has been engaged as chief counsel for Powell, and he will be assisted by Attys. Willmore B. Stone and Thomas F. McGlynn of this city. The colored people of this city have been aroused by what they consider unfair discrimination against the Negroes who are seeking a chance to earn a living, as was shown in the Powell case. They are determined, if possible, to make this a test case to establish whether the color line can be drawn in the manufactories of New England. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE.

The Bible study groups are doing good work. Practically the whole student body gives forty-five minutes of its time on Saturday evening to the study of the principles of Jesus Christ. President Hope and three other members of the faculty are treaching these groups; and, as a result, keen interest is manifested by all. The faces seen on the campus during the week were those of President Hale of the State Normal School at Nashville, Tenn., Mr. Trent of the Atlanta Y. M. C. A., Rev. L. P. Pinckney of Augusta, Ga., Mr. G S Cohron of the Camp Gordon Y M. C. A. and Mr. W. T. B. Williams, who represents the Jeanes Fund. Among the good things heard in chapel this week was a talk by President Hope on Friday morning. He said that "The soldiers are taught to be on the offensive. Not only should soldiers do this, but also those left behind should act as becomes the good soldier along this line. The soldiers will not forget this teaching in a day, but will ever remember to be on the offensive." As one looks over the student body in chapel and notes a vacant seat here and there a feeling of joy thrills him to know that this school was able to furnish me who are striving to put down autocracy and elevate democracy. This democracy will be for the Negroes not as Negro American citizens, but as American citizens. The number of stars to be placed in our service flag is now 86. There are others who are expecting to be called within a few days. Saturday, March 30, the Morehouse Tigers played a team composed of members of the Eleventh and Thirteenth Battalions at Camp Gordon. The soldiers won 6 to 4. The game was exciting throughout. It was a free for all hitfest—both sides receiving equal stries-out and hits. This is the beginning of a number of athletic contests with the soldiers who are led by Mr. George Brock, the athletic director. FARMER'S INSTITUTE AND CANNING CLUB MEETING At the regular monthly meeting of the Farmer's Institute on Monday April 8, which was held at the State College, a number of Interesting and timely agricultural topics were discussed. Mr. S. Wilson one of Chatham county's progressive farmers, spoke on "Co-operative Farming." In his remarks he outlined how this farming could be done through the Farmers' Institute of Chatham county. Mr. E. A. Williams discussed the diseases of plants and how to prevent them. With this topic each member seemed to have been anxious to learn more about their plants and different insects that attack them. Prof. R. R. Wright was present at the meeting and spoke to the farmers on the improvement of their livestock. There were twenty farmers present who seemed to have enjoyed the meeting greatly. It is interesting to note that during the past three months there have been twelve new members to join the institute.

NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE In compliance with our previous promise to give to the public thru the weekly letter of the Business League the series of papers by the good teachers of the Waycross public schools, we are submitting the following paper by Mrs. Lula Taylor Harriel, teacher of Refidville School: Subject: The Negro Business League and its Object. strings of life and give them potentiality. Therefore, aside from the church, there stands out in the financial and commercial world, the Negro Business League, which had its birth in the City of Boston, Mass., August 23, 1900. "The lamented Dr Booker T. Washington never launched a greater movement than this, for the uplift of the Negro, and though he no longer walks among men, his great life still lives and vitalizes this representative organization of Negro leaders and race men. "The Negro Business League binds and unites the race together wherever they may be found. We note that this organization covers almost every city and town in America; crosses the sea, and touches the reno of Africa, and in all presents a personnel of race men and race institutions capable of stimulating any people. The Negro Business League unites the members of the race together in the highest financial and. commerella activities of the age, and co-operates with all progressive movements which tends to refine and uplift the Negro. This organization unites the race in business groups which aim not only to assist progressive men and women of the race In accomplishing better results from investments, but opens up to the less fortunate ones new ideas of doing ordinary business. This organization creates new business enterprises in the community; and with the welfare of the Negro boy and girl inview, negotiates better school facilities. "The Negro Business League is the wisest step forward of the Negro. Whatever we may say of other movements, the step that organizes the financial and commercial life of a race gives that race the rare opportunity to discover itself, nd push its way into the life of the nation, as nothing else could do. The Negro found himself outclassed until his leadership led to the control of the purse string. Therefore, the step which has led the Negro to husband his dollar, and cultivate thrift gives the Negro the key, if led wisely, shall enable hi into stand in the years to come among the finincel and commercial masters of America and the world. "The wisest gain of this organization is the stimulation of race pride and race confidence in leadership. Probab ly, the greatest weakness of the Negro is his lack of confidence in his own men and in his own institutions. This organization has the happy faculty of bringing before the world the ablest men of the race. The president, secretary and board of directors rank among the safest and soundest men in this nation. "In the annual assembly of the National Negro Business League, we find the best life and brain of the Negro, and in sections of our country where they assemble with rare fact and skill has brought the race recognition, and consideration to a degree absolutely beyond the dreams of its friends, thru the Negro Business League America no longer doubts the Negro but in its reckoning brains to consider him a factor and the watchword is you cannot count the Negro out continuously, for he steadily marches on, and will soon reach the place where all men must reckon with him. "The record of these men at the head of this organization gives us the joyous hope that Negro men and Negro institutions are laying the financial and commercial foundation for a structure which shall enable the Negro to take his place, so effectively among men that dollars, commerce backed by the high qualities of capacity and honor shall open the doors to the generations to come, and once opened they shall stand forever open. "It is my pleasure to pay the Negro Business League of Waycross, Ga., the compliments of the season and to congratulate the race leadership for this splendid organization, for its high record and for a future for your city, which this is but the beginning. May you in your united effort for the welfare of your city, the interest of your boys and girls, the progress of your business enterprises, continue to sail on, and curve your name high on the tree of usefulness, and like the sainted founder, leave foot-prints on the sand of time when you lie down to pleasant dreams.

C., April 1.—Five hundred young colored men have been taken from Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va. and sent to Camp Upton, New York, one of the most liberal of the cantonments of the National Army. They will there be connected with the 307th Infantry and will be under the command of colored company officers. Other transfers are also being made from Camp Lee to other camps where the men will be under command of colored company officers, and it is probable that shortly there will be no colored drafted men at that camp, from which place so many complaints have come growing out of race issues. This solution of a situation which has given the colored people, and the War department considerable concern, will be warmly welcomed, and promises to yield helpful results. ```markdown ``` At the urgent request of Hon. Henry B. F. MacFarland, 1st Vice Chairman of the District of Columbia Chapter of the American Red Cross and former District Commissioner, Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, has consented to serve as a member of the finance committee of this chapter in connection with the drive for one hundred million dollars, which is to be made by the American Red Cross during the week of May 20-27. The chairman of the District of Columbia Chapter of the Red Cross organization is Rear Admirai S. A. Staunton, retired, an ardent friend of Negro education and an earnest advocate of the equality of opportunity for every American citizen. --- "The Loyalty of a Race," the elaborate historic photoplay, to be presented throughout the country under the auspices of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee, is being filmed this week by the firm having the contract for the art work. Thrilling incidents illustrative of the achievements of the race are included in the fine scenario written by Marce Edmund Jones of New York City. The production will be placed before the people under the personal supervision of Ralph W. Tylor, secretary of the Soldier's Comfort Committee. The goal sought is a fund of $2,000,000 for the relief of the dependents of colored soldiers who are fighting the battles of liberty in the national army. The picture will be shown in the leading theaters all over the land. Bookings are being rapidly made. Jerome A. Johnson, for fifty years clark in the Internal Revenue Bureau, Treasury Department, is dead. A strong letter was sent by the Internal Revenue Bureau commending his long and efficient labors and regretting the loss of so valuable a government helper. --- Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, was at Tuskegee Institute, Ala., last week, attending the exercises commemorative of Founder's Day. April 5, set apart as the birth of the late Booker T. $ ^{\circ} $ Washington. --- It is expected that the proposed colored bureau in the Department of Labor will be organized at an early date. Eugene Kinckle Jones is favorably spoken of as special advisor for this department, as his ideas on Negro labor and Negro migration are in sympathy with the progressive Negro through the country. Any colored man who is opposed to the free development of the Negro in American industry will not be acceptable to our people. URBAN LEAGUE ADDS Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League has returned to New York after a two weeks' visit to cities in the Middle West, where the League has affiliated organizations and to additional cities which the league is organizing. In St. Louis and East St. Louis the League has succeeded in getting together organizations which in the very near future will open offices on both sides of the river, with trained executives in charge of each. For the work of these two groups, including the expenses of a settlement house in St. Louis, the sum of $10,000 will be required, the receipt of which reasonable assurance has been given by interested local persons. Addressed forty members of the Rotary Club composed of leading business men of East St. Louis, which will make itself responsible for the raising of $2,000 of the fund needed. In Milwaukee, the local group of white and colored citizens, which met in the City Club on Tuesday of last week, authorized the making of a survey of the colored population at an expense no greater than $200. This work will be done by a member of the League's staff from Chicago. A public meeting to secure members was held in Cleveland; and in Colum- bus a noon-day luncheon of white and colored social workers was held, at which time the raising of the local budget and the program of work was discussed. The league now has affiliated organizations in twenty-eight cities—thus making the need for trained social workers to do the League's work increases from day to day. The league has issued the following statement from its National Office, 2303 Seventh Avenue:Persons of training and experience in dealing with social problems, or trained persons desiring to hold executive positions in social work are invited to correspond with the league's office, inasmuch as numerous positions requiring ability are being brought to the league's attention and the number of competent applicants for positions is far below that of the demand. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE SUMMER SCHOOL The ninth annual session of the Tuskegee Institute summer school for teachers will be held this year, beginning June 10th and extending through July 10th. This summer school has become a permanent feature of education in the South. Already teachers are registering and securing rooms. It means greater efficiency, and that the work of education must go on. Courses will be offered in all common school subjects, in teachers training subjects, and in industrial subjects. The subjects will be studled and methods in the presentation of these subjects. The work in teacher training will include Psychology, Class Room Management, Primary Methods and kindred subjects. There will also be classes in Cooking, Sewing, Handicrafts, Manual training and Canning. This year through the interest and help of the General Education Board, a special course will be offered for all the teachers who work in schools aided by Mr. Julius Rosenwald. All the Rosenwald teachers in all the Southern states are expected to attend. Addresses will be delivered each day by such men as, Dr. Phillips, Supt. of Schools, Birmingham, Ala.; Mr. Spright Dowell, State Supt. of Education, Alabama; Mr. Richard Hobble, Federal Food Administrator for Alabama; Mr. Crawford Johnson, State Director, National War Savings Committee, Birmingham, Ala., Prof. Z. V. Judd, State Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Ala.; Mr. Jackson Davis, Field Secretary, Gen. Education Board; Dr. J. H. Dillard, President of the Jeanes Fund and of the Slater Board; Dr. Bruce Payne, President George Peabody College for Teachers; Dr. Denney, President University of Alabama; Mr. J. R. E. Lee, Principal Lincoln High School, Kansas City, Mo.; Dr. Haynes, Fisk University; President John Hope, Morehouse College; President N. B. Young, Florida A. and M. College; Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary Tuskegee Institute and Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, and Dr. R. R. Moton, Principal Tuskegee Institute. The principal and director, Mr. E. C. Roberts, is anticipating a very large attendance. COLORED PEOPLE PLAN TEST CASE IN POWELL TRIAL Unfair Discrimination Underlies Assault—W. E. Lewis Engaged Springfield, Massachusetts, April 6 The case of Ralph E. Powell, the young. Negro who shot Floyd H. Polkhill March 12, after the latter had headed a demonstration of workmen in the Van Norman Machine Tool Company's plant in Wilbraham Avenue against the employment of Powell among the white men, was again postponed this morning in Police Court on the request of representative colored citizens of Springfield who have interested themselves in the young Tuskegee graduate. The date now set for the preliminary hearing of the case is April 12. Powell, who was alone and friendless when he made the attack upon Poll hill, whom he held to be chiefly to blame for his discharge from the Van Norman shop, will not be lacking in champions when the case comes to trial. One of the leading Negros of the cuntary, Atty. William A. Lewis, of Boston, former assistant United States district attorney, has been engaged as chief counsel for Powell, and he will be assisted by Attys. Willmore B. Stone and Thomas F. McGlynn of this city. The colored people of this city have been aroused by what they consider unfair discrimination against the Negroes who are seeking a chance to earn a living, as was shown in the Powell case. They are determined, if possible, to make this a test case to establish whether the color line can be drawn in the manufactories of New England. Floyd Polhill, the man who was shot by the young Negro, has entirely recovered from the bullet wound, but he has felt some of the after effects of the incident. He was not permitted to return to his work in the Van Norman shops, as many threats had been received that several colored men were "lying" for him and the manager of the shop had all the trouble over the affair that he wanted.—Springfield Union. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE NEWS Easter was observed with due ceremony throughout the day, and was marked, at night by special services conducted by Mr. McFadden. The Bible study groups are doing good work. Practically the whole student body gives forty-five minutes of its time on Saturday evening to the study of the principles of Jesus Christ. President Hope and three other members of the faculty are treaching these groups; and, as a result, keen interest is manifested by all. The faces seen on the campus during the week were those of President Hale of the State Normal School at Nashville, Tenn., Mr. Trent of the Atlanta Y. M. C. A., Rev. I. P. Pinckney of Augusta, Ga., Mr. G S Cohron of the Camp Gordon Y M. C. A. and Mr. W. T. B. Williams, who represents the Jennes Fund. Among the good things heard in chapel this week was a talk by President Hope on Friday morning. He said that "The soldiers are taught to be on the offensive. Not only should soldiers do this, but also those left behind should act as becomes the good soldier along this line. The soldiers will not forget this teaching in a day, but will ever remember to be on the offensive." As one looks over the student body in chapel and notes a vacant seat here and there a feeling of joy thrills him to know that this school was able to furnish me who are striving to put down autocracy and elevate democracy; This democracy will be for the Negroes not as Negro American citizens, but as American citizens. The number of stars to be placed in our service flag is now 86. There are others who are expecting to be called within a few days. Saturday, March 30, the Morehouse Tigers played a team composed of members of the Eleventh and Thirteenth Battallons at Camp Gordon. The soldiers won 6 to 4. The game was exciting throughout. It was a free for all hitfest—both sides receiving equal stries-out and hits. This is the beginning of a number of athletic contests with the soldiers who are led by Mr. George Brock, the athletic director. FARMER'S INSTITUTE AND CANNING CLUB MEETING At the regular monthly meeting of the Farmer's Institute on Monday April 8, which was held at the State College, a number of interesting and timely agricultural topics were discussed. Mr. S. Wilson one of Chatham county's progressive farmers, spoke on "Cooperative Farming." In his remarks he outlined how this farming could be done through the Farmers' Institute of Chatham county. Mr. E. A. Williams discussed the diseases of plants and how to prevent them. With this tople each member seemed to have been anxious to learn more about their plants and different insects that attack them. Prof. R. R. Wright was present at the meeting and spoke to the farmers on the improvement of their livestock. There were twenty farmers present who seemed to have enjoyed the meeting greatly. It is interesting to note that during the past three months there have been twelve new members to join the institute. The White Bluff canning club meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Matilda Owens on Tuesday, April 9th. Miss, Conyers gave a demonstration in making corn-meal rolls. She was assisted by Mrs. Willie Figures a member of the club. The members of this club have already ordered sexenty-eight dozen jars for their summer canning. They are planning to begin canning English peas next-Tuesday at the home of Mr. S. Wilson of Flowerville. By A. B. Singfield In compliance with our previous promise to give to the public thru the weekly letter of the Business League the series of papers by the good teachers of the Waycross public schools, we are submitting the following paper by Mrs. Lula Taylor Harriel, teacher of Reldville School: Subject: The Negro Business League and its Object. "It must appear to the observer that nature depends not only upon her vast stores but upon organization and co-operation. Races therefore, no less than nature, must show themselves capable of organization and cooperation and demonstrate their ability to utilize thru knowledge and wisdom the untold field of opportunity which unites them to the independence and power. The Negro shows rare skill in organizations. It reminded however, for a rare mind to thread those great strings of life and give them potentiality. Therefore, aside from the church, there stands out in the financial and commercial world, the Negro Business League, which had its birth in the City of Boston, Mass., August 23, 1900. "The lamented Dr Booker T. Washington never launched a greater movement than this, for the uplift of the Negro, and though he no longer walks among men, his great life still lives and vitalizes this representative organization of Negro leaders and race men. "The Negro Business League blinds and unites the race together wherever they may be found. We note that this organization covers almost every city and town in America; crosses the sea, and touches the reno of Africa, and in all presents a personnel of race men and race institutions capable of stimulating any people. The Negro Business League unites the members of the race together in the highest financial and commercial activities of the age, and co-operates with all progressive movements which tends to refine and uplift the Negro. This organization unites the race in business groups which aim not only to assist progressive men and women of the race in accomplishing better results from investments, but opens up to the less fortunate ones new ideas of doing ordinary business. This organization creates new business enterprises in the community; and with the welfare of the Negro boy and girl inview, negotiates better school facilities. "The Negro Business League is the wisest step forward of the Negro. Whatever we may say of other movements, the step that organizes the financial and commercial life of a race gives that race the rare opportunity to discover itself, nd push its way into the life of the nation, as nothing else could do. The Negro found himself outclassed until his leadership led to the control of the purse string. Therefore, the step which has led the Negro to husband his dollar, and cultivate thrift gives the Negro the key, if led wisely, shall enable hi into stand in the years to come among the finincial and commercial masters of America and the world. "The wisest gain of this organization is the stimulation of race pride and race confidence in leadership. Probab ly, the greatest weakness of the Negro is his lack of confidence in his own men and in his own institutions. This organization has the happy faculty of bringing before the world the ablest men of the race. The president, secretary and board of directors rank among the safest and soundest men in this nation. "In the annual assembly of the National Negro Business League, we find the best life and brain of the Negro, and in sections of our country where they assemble with rare tact and skill has brought the race recognition, and consideration to a degree absolutely beyond the dreams of its friends, thru the Negro Business League America no longer doubts the Negro but in its reckoning brains to consider him a factor and the watchword is you cannot count the Negro out continuously, for he steadily marches on, and will soon reach the place where all men must reckon with him. "The record of these men at the head of this organization gives us the joyous hope that Negro men and Negro institutions are laying the financial and commercial foundation for a structure which shall enable the Negro to take his place so effectively, among men that dollars, commerce backed by the high qualities of capacity and honor shall open the doors to the generations to come, and once opened they shall stand forever open. "It is my pleasure to pay the Negro Business League of Waycross, Ga., the compliments of the season and to congratulate the race leadership for this splendid organization, for its high record and for a future for your city; which this is but the beginning. May you in your united effort for the welfare of your city, the interest of your boys and girls, the progress of your business enterprises, continue to sail on, and carve your name high on the tree of usefulness, and like the sainted founder, leave foot-prints on the sand of time when you lie down to pleasant dreams.

ENLING— 318 PARTY FROCKS FOR SPRING Belts, Sashes and Other Accessories New York—"When one is young in springtime," the natural sequence of lenten is galley, parties and party frocks. This year, they will be simple affairs, but the frocks must be dainty and appropriate, and, most important of all, becoming. The American materials are very lovely, and American designs seem to suit our American girls perfectly; they are so youthful and slim, these fascinating little dresses. Dainty figured volles, mulls, organdies and afternoon or summer evening, and the soft silks, taffetas and satins are suitable for the more formal occasions. © McCALL They are doing interesting things to the dress of organdie. Sometimes the organdie is plain, a soft shade of rose or blue; more often it is checked or striped, in fact, doing the things that organdie has never done before! One quaint little dress had a wide inset of dull blue above the deep hem of a rose organdie dress. Tiny ruffles of footing, turned up, instead of down, edged this inset, and the same effect was gained on the waist and sleeves by the means of collar and cuffs. Waistlines and Thereabout Every one is concentrating a great deal of attention upon the belt or girdle. If the waistline is long (as it very often is), the girdle may be a mere chain of beads, or a heavy cord. Then, too, there is the wide, loose girdle of heavy brocaded ribbon, adding a touch of richness and color to an otherwise somber frock. A dark navy blue Georgette creme made on very straight lines, pleated from the shoulder, had a wonderful sash of peacock brocade in all the shimmery glow of bronze and blue and green, with just the proper amount of intense purple. The sash was put twice around the waist and finished in a huge bow on the left side of the back: a bustle, and yet not a bustle! Leather bolts and bolts of heavy crocain ribbon, perhaps sk or seven inches wide match the hat and perhaps the parasol of the sports costume. Snacking of parasols, they are very unusual this year. The trimming is as a rule underneath a flat arrangement of satin flowers for instance under the Georgette. One novel sunshade was absolutely square, a wide hand of black satin bordering the white Georgette of the parasol. As you can see, their are purely ornamental, for the sun can easily find its way through the thin crone or chiffon. The Charm of Youth There is something refreshingly young in the plainty little dress illustrated long. Made of flowered silk it is chipped around the waist and dress shoulder. The long sleeves and upper part of the waist are of white Georgette crepe, and a bunch of French rosebuds nestle at the waist. ... The Place of Embroidery For a time it looked as though we would not use any embroidery at all on our Spring and Summer dresses. "Trimmingless models" were the cry, But from Paris, the latest news is of the wonderful embroidered volles, linens, satins, silks—in fact, there seems to be embroidery on everything. Reading, braiding and odd designs in ap- © MCCALL plique make things of beauty out of the simplest frock. Sometimes there is a hold design on the panels of the skirt, near the hem, with it repeated on the waist. Oftentimes the sash has a touch of the Orient in a colorful splash of embroidery. Sheer crepes and chiffons and even nets are being embroidered in white, black and colors. There seems to be no limit to the use of embroidery, so simple and effective and so easy to do if one is at all deft with one's fingers. More About Tunics The tunic is playing a most important part this spring. Sometimes it is made of lace (for lace is coming into its own) as shown in the dress illustrated here. Simetimes bordered materials are used, and sometimes the tunic is made of the same material as the dress itself. This one has the newest of collar effects and smart sleeves that are long and tight. The tunic may be omitted if desired, thus making a dress of simple design. BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTER No. 8 By Albon L. Holsey Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Simetimes, I think it remarkable how the Business League officials have been able to give to local leagues and to the business men of the race, such valuable and important suggestions. Sometimes ago a pamphlet of suggestions was sent out to all the local leagues suggesting to them, that it would be a good thing if the local leagues could co-operate with merchants, where the number of such merchants were sufficient, by urging them to engage, either individually or co-operatively, a trained bookkeeper or auditor who could assist the merchants and other business men in keeping accurate records, so as to keep tract of their profits and losses and thus help to prevent them from slipping into many of the pitfalls of business. In a recent issue of "The Advertising Age", I find an article entitled "Pitfalls of Merchants" written by Mr. Lee Joslyn, Referee of Bankruptcy of Michigan. Mr. Joslyn's article contains the following very interesting statistics. I am quoting briefly from his article: "Commercial statistics and my own experience of more than twelve years in the bankruptcy court proved that out of every hundred men in business today, about twenty-five will fall within five years. Fifty will fail in ten years, and in less than twenty years Less than a dozen will have succeeded out of the original one hundred. "If nine out of ten fail, what assurance have you that you will be the lucky tenth? 'The life of the retail business is reported to be only six years.' And again his article proceeds as follows: "Very often the man who paid cash for his first stock makes subsequent purchases on credit. Money realized from the sale of the first goods enables him to meet bills for the other and have some left over. He thinks what is left over is profit; but most of it is original investment. Little by little he lives up to his first investment entirely and gets further and further in debt. Then the awakening comes with a crash. "Don't just think you are making money—get the facts, for that supposed profit may actually be loss." (To be continued next week) Dr. L. S. Parks DENTIST 210 BARNARD ST. Savannah, Ga.

Sometimes the organdie is plain, a soft shade of rose or blue; more often it is checked or striped, in fact, doing the things that organdie has never done before! One quaint Jittle dress had a wide inset of dull blne above the deep hem of a rose organdie dress. Tiny ruffles of footing, turned up, instead of down, edged this inset, and the same effect was gained on the waist and steeves by the means of eollar and cuffs. Waistlines and Thereabout Every one is concentrating a great deal of attention upon the helt or gir- dle. If the walstline fs Jong (as it very often is), the girdle may be a mere chain of beads, or a heavy cord. Then, too, there is the wide, loose gir- dle of heavy brocaded ribbon, adding a touch of richness and color to an otherwise somber frock.

Sometimes it {s made of lace (for lace is coming Into its own) as shown in the dress Mlus- trated here. Simetimes bordered ma- terials are used, and sometimes the tunic 1s made of the same material as the dress itself. This one has the new- est of collar effects and smart sleeves that are long and tight. The tunic may be omitted if desired, thus mak- ing a dress of simple design. BUSINESS LEAGLE ROOSTER No. ¢ _ By Albon h. Holsey Tuskegee Institute, Alr.—Simetimes I think it remarkable how the Busi ness League officials have been able to give to local leagues and to the busi- uess men of the race, such valuable and important suggestions. Sometime ago a pamphlet of suggestions was sent out to all the local leagues suggesting to them, that it would be a good thing if the local leagues could co-vperate with merchants, where the number of such merchants were sufficient, . by urging them to engage, elther indivi- dually or co-operatively, a trained bookkeeper or auditor who could as- sist the merchants and other business men in keeping accurate records, so as to keep tract of their profits and losses and thus help to prevent them from slipping into many of the pitfalls of business, =” In a recent issue of “The Advertising Age”, I find an article entitled “Pit- falls of Merchants” written by Mr. Tee Joslyn. Referce of Bankruptey of Michigan. Mr. Joslyr’s article con- tains the following very interesting sta- tistics. I am quoting briefly from his article: “Commercial statistics and, my own experience of more than twelve years in the hankruptey court proved that out of every hundred men in business today, about twenty-five will fait with- In five years. Fifty will fail in ten Fears, end in less then twenty years PETE DANCED ON EVFRYRODY'S FFET BUT HIS OWN Jess than a dozen will have succeeded out of the original one hundred. “If hine out of ten fail, what assur- ance have you that you will’ be the lucky tenth? “The life of the retail business {s reported to be only six years’ And again-his article proceeds as fol- lows: “Very often the man who paid cash for his first stock makes subsequent purchases on credit. Money realized from the sale of the first goods enables him to meet bills for the other and have some left over, He thinks what is left over is profit, but most of it Is original Investment. Little by little he lives up to his first investment en- tirely and gets further and further in debt, Then the awakening comes with | acrash, “Don't just think you are making money—xet the facts, for that supposed profit may actually be loss.” (To be continued next week) Dr. L.S.

SER , = SATURDAY APRIL 13, 1918 a BOMESTIO SERVICE AND “THE NEW TIME” ‘We have been reliably informed that ‘wader the “new time” many of the do vmestit servants, porters, etc, ‘re warking an hour longer to the day. ‘Bee intention of. this plan was not to garke the worker’s day any longer or Was task any mére irksome and burden- seme, The idea was to maintain the same number of hours per working day fer all industrial workers, and because these really went at their work an ‘our earlier (by the sun) they were iso to leave off an hour earller, ¢. It is discovered that although cooks, ‘aadds and other workers are golng to work an hour earlier in following the usw time, in many cases they are not zilowed fo leave an hour earller at wight. ‘i ‘They should not be required to work any longer day, unless the pecular ex- igencies of the occupation makes it necessary and in that case-they should be paid an additional sum per “diem commensurate with the overtime_and additionat service they render. Work. sz and servants are iu position to con: trol and regulate this matter for them salves, if they will observe and work the matter out for themselves and then will take It up and talk it ove with their employers. It will do nc Rood to go outside their place of em ployment and complain, Each worke for himself, must know his workin; day, his wages, his, just time to repor and to leave off, and when his employe: imposes additional duty or time upo. ‘him, then and there be should take th: ssatter up for settlement and adjust ment, We believe employers will not wisl te impose additional hardships upo: thelr employees without extra compen gation and consideration. THD PIGNIO SEASON __ With the arrival of the beautiful “Weather, all mankind yearns for the out-of-doors—the forest, the field, the meadow, the seashore. It begins to look as if there will be little in the way of boat excursions down the river this summer, due to probibitive war precautions, It is a good thing In a way that this is true, because it will mean a great saving to the thousands of colored people, mem- bers of churches, Sunday schools, so- tieties and clubs, who yearly squan- der thousands of dollars, most of it going for boat-hire. Colored people, it can be said, supported the boat excur- sion business. True, these were en- Joyable outings and the hest to be had around here, but the return in enjoy- yaent and” pleasnre were not commens- arate with the outlay in money for other necessary expenditures for these occasions. It is unfortunate that our churches and other organizations have found’ it expedient or necessary to extract from the peeple hundreds of dollars for boat owners In ordeg to set @ paltry sum for ‘kemselygp CZ course, ihese or- nanizations may have missed the por- tion they cet for themselves, but they ‘were hardly justified in exploiting the people for the larger sums which boat companies recelred. « 7 Tn this same connection, the useless expenditures for chartered trolley rides 4s open to the same condemnation, and, 4t fa pretty safe to say that in alter of these instances did the organizations gromoting them benefit to any appre- einble e&tent. We are glad to call attention to the fact. that several enterprising color, ed men have organized the Hope Cres! ‘Development Company and have taker over the water front portion of th beautiful Hope Crest tract, and are now spending thousands of dollars fr the making of this beautiful and at tractive spot, where colored people, a! any time of day or night, may go and find refreshing diversion/and outing A beautiful pavilion, electric-lightec and well-appointed in every way, Is already erected. A bathing pool and Lath-house and a thoroughly first class cafe are now under construetion for the enjoyment and recreation of the col ored people. A natural well with an abundant flow of good water is gushing there all the time, and shade trees, flowerg,and seat ing accommodations contribute to the comfortable and restfol surroundings It will be opened all the tlme—and let it be, here and now, understood, the management wijl maintain perfect or- der and decorum, and guarantees that this will be maintained as a resort worthy in every way of the patronage of the most exacting people. Several passenger trucks are already on hand and will scon be operating a regular daily schedule to and from the scene, All our organizations, as well as thoxe which hare already secured dates, will do well to take their mem- berships to this beautiful, race resort, severnl times during the hot season. It costs so little and takes you away from home and the job for such a short while, we can afford to avail ourselves of its advantages and en- joy its comforts more. We urge our people to rally to the <upport of Hope Crest, as to other en- terprises, and make it the mecca of the amusement-secking colored people this summer. ‘We must hare amusement and di- rersion; but let us exercise moderation and good judgment in all things. MILITARY DISCIPLINE AND THE A RACE ISSUB % See See: eee, oe ere Se oe ae | cer, who refused to line-up the Ne- 8rO units of his command along side) of white units, in retreat, thus diso eying the orders of a superior officer, ‘bas been liberated, and charges against him have been dropped, according to newsnaper diepatches from Camp Pike }and Little Rock. "Thus thé ¢irse of race discrimina- tion invades the national army, and 'Yhe rigid discipline of our military sys- ‘tem quails and fizzles’ and falls before {t, In first attack. ‘The officer was removed from his command, arrested and Jocked up,. at} ‘frst imoulse of his affronted super- {ior officer—hut upon a day's reflection: ' shout he precedent about to be set, the. situation was composed ard the officer released. And we shall hear no more ee Rowan, -in the way of his being prosecuted for insubordination. Such a whitewashing of this offense’ of Captain Rowan, cheanens and de feats the discipline of the American ‘army and encourages disobedience to ymilitary orders if thelr execution runs counter to the ‘views of the one in ieharge, on the race question. In other - words, prejudiced officers will less re- -Junetantly use their positions to mis- ‘treat Negro troops. 1 No one, knowing the distemper of _ hating Southern men, can galnsay this, jno one car deny.

It sometimes seems that the great [oe leaders, themselves, are unrea- ‘soning to figure that Negro men will ‘continue, unthinking, to bear these in- ‘Tsults, these humillations, these abuses, {no other people has ever done -so,— none ought be expected to do £0. Captain Rowan should have been | ct and severely punished es- " Peclally since this order which he dls- obeyed tu still belng carrled out and ‘jeppears to be an established and con- ‘firmed practice. There {fs error and ‘I dereliction of duty somewhere that this | officer, because of his own views, pahoutd be exempted and excepted, from executing a regular order and duty. '|A great many more like him, in stml- ‘Jar and kindred instances, will baik, and discipline may become chaotic. {self-respecting and worthy Negro “men; men who love the country and {who love and honor the liberty and 'freedom for which the nation fights today; men who think, and know ang lreason the great and serious conse | quences of such coups as Captain Row- Jan's, will not forget and forgiye the weak and childish disposition of the matter. : A soldier, guarding the water-front in Savannah, recently severely mal- treated a parsing Negro laborer, with- »out provocation, The soldier's con- BACON—In memory of my deal brother, Major P.

Everywhere, all over the country, Negro newspapers, Negro, preachers, Negro leaders are Calling ot Negro inex, women and children to put forth’ every effort and energy to strenghten and equip the arms and spirit af the-nation.

The intention of this plan was not to make the worker's day any longer or his task any more irksome and burdensome. The idea was to maintain the same number of hours per working day for all industrial workers, and because these really went at their work an hour earlier (by the sun) they were also to leave off an hour earlier. It is discovered that although cooks, mids and other workers are going to work an hour earlier in following the new time, in many cases they are not allowed to leave an hour earlier at night. They should not be required to work any longer day, unless the peculiar exigencies of the occupation makes it necessary and in that case they should be paid an additional sum per diem commensurate with the overtime, and additional service they render. Workers and servants are in position to control and regulate this matter for themselves, if they will observe and work the matter out for themselves and then will take it up and talk it over with their employers. It will do no good to go outside their place of employment and complain. Each worker for himself, must know his working day, his wages, his just time to report and to leave off, and when his employer imposes additional duty or time upon him, then and there he should take the matter up for settlement and adjustment. We believe employers will not wish to impose additional hardships upon their employees without extra compensation and consideration. THE PICNIC SEASON With the arrival of the beautiful weather, all mankind yearns for the out-of-doors, the forest, the field, the meadow, the seashore. It begins to look as if there will be little in the way of boat excursions down the river this summer, due to prohibitive war precautions. It is a good thing in a way that this is true, because it will mean a great saving to the thousands of colored people, members of churches, Sunday schools, societies and clubs, who yearly squander thousands of dollars, most of it going for boat-hire. Colored people, it can be said, supported the boat excursion business. True, these were enjoyable outings and the best to be had around here, but the return in enjoyment and pleasure were not commensurate with the outlay in money for other necessary expenditures for these occasions. It is unfortunate that our churches and other organizations have found it expedient or necessary to extract from the people hundreds of dollars for boat owners in order to get a paltry sum for themselves. Of course, these organizations may have missed the portion they get for themselves, but they were hardly justified in exploiting the people for the larger sums which boat companies received. In this same connection, the useless expenditures for chartered trolley rides is open to the same condemnation, and it is pretty safe to say that in neither of these instances did the organizations promoting them benefit to any appreciable extent. fact that several enterprising colored men have organized the Hope Crest Development Company and have taken over the water front portion of the beautiful Hope Crest tract, and are now spending thousands of dollars in the making of this beautiful and attractive spot, where colored people, at any time of day or night, may go and find refreshing diversion and outing. A beautiful pavilion, electric-lighted and well-appointed in every way, is already erected. A bathing pool and bath-house and a thoroughly first class cafe are now under construction for the enjoyment and recreation of the colored people. A natural well with an abundant flow of good water is gushing there all the time, and shade trees, flowers and seating accommodations contribute to the comfortable and restful surroundings. It will be opened all the time—and let it be, here and now, understood, the management will maintain perfect order and decorum, and guarantees that this will be maintained as a resort worthy in every way of the patronage of the most exacting people. Several passenger trucks are already on hand and will soon be operating a regular daily schedule to and from the scene. All our organizations, as well as those which have already secured dates, will do well to take their memberships to this beautiful, race resort, several times during the hot season. It costs so little and takes you away from home and the job for such a short while, we can afford to avail ourselves of its advantages and enjoy its comforts more. We urge our people to rally to the support of Hope Crest, as to other enterprises, and make it the mecca of the amusement-seeking colored people this summer. We must have amusement and diversion; but let us exercise moderation and good judgment in all things. MILITARY DISCIPLINE AND THE RACE ISSUE Captain Rowan, the Camp Pike officer, who refused to line-up the Negro units of his command along side of white units, in retreat, thus disbeying the orders of a superior officer, has been liberated, and charges against him have been dropped, according to newspaper dispatches from Camp Pike and Little Rock. Thus the curse of race discrimination invades the national army, and the rigid discipline of our military system qualls and fizzles and falls before it, in first attack. The officer was removed from his command, arrested and locked up, at first impulse of his affronted superior officer—but upon a day's reflection about he precedent about to be set, the situation was composed and the officer released. And we shall hear no more of Captain Rowan, in the way of his being prosecuted for insubordination. Such a white-washing of this offense of Captain Rowan, cheapens and defeats the discipline of the American army and encourages disobedience to military orders if their execution runs counter to the views of the one in charge, on the race question. In other words, prejudiced officers will less reluctantly use their positions to mistreat Negro troops. No one, knowing the distemper of hating Southern men, can gainsay this, no one can deny. It is in line with all their history on this grave point. Negro men must make us im our nation is mobilizing for European service, but we go into the ranks expecting to be accorded every consideration of a free American citizen. We are worthy to fight for the freedom of the world, if we do not lasst and demand freedom for ourselves. Negroes in the army and out of it, may so easily be charged with seditions utterances and acts, because of the great frequency and flagrancy with which they are affronted and imposed upon. It sometimes seems that the great white leaders, themselves, are unreasoning to figure that Negro men will continue, unthinking, to bear these insults, these humiliations, these abuses. No other people has ever done so,—none ought be expected to do so. Captain Rowan, should have been summarily and severely punished especially since this order which he obeyed is still being carried out and appears to be an established and confirmed practice. There is error and dereliction of duty somewhere that this officer, because of his own views, should be exempted and excepted, from executing a regular order and duty. A great many more like him, in similar and kindred instances, will balk, and discipline may become chaotic. Self-respecting and worthy Negro men; men who love the country and who love and honor the liberty and freedom for which the nation fights today; men who think, and know and reason the great and serious consequences of such coups as Captain Rowan's, will not forget and forgive the weak and childish disposition of the matter. A soldier, guarding the water-front in Savannah, recently severely maltreated a passing Negro laborer, without provocation. The soldier's con- duct-betrays the psychology of all his ilk, his conceit and consciousness of his power and protection in almost any act he may do to Negroes. These occurrences, like many others all over the country, almost breed disgust among colored people; they tend to discourage and depress patriotic fervor and enthusiasm; and were it not for the almost "uncanny enthusiasm" of Negro people, referred to last week in these columns, conditions might be a whole lot different. Everywhere, all over the country, Negro newspapers, Negro preachers, Negro leaders are calling on Negro men, women and children to put forth every effort and energy to strengthen and equip the arms and spirit of the nation. They are responding unanimously and nobly to the call. We call upon the President and the nation, through the Army and Navy authority, to accord our enlisted and drafted men the due consideration of American soldiers, and let them go to battle, clothed in the consciousness that they bear the love and respect of a great people as they also bear its responsibility and its honor. RESOLUTION ON THE DEATH OF BRO C. C. KING Whereas, Almighty God omnipotent in majestic in dispensing of His wise providence, has seen fit to remove from our midst our beloved brother, and exalted ruler, O. O.

Maxwell SEABROOK—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother, Mrs. Daisy Seabrook, who died April 14, 1915. Dear mother, April is here. The saddest month of all the year; Three years have passed, our hearts are sore. As time goes on we miss you more. Your cheerful voice, your smiling face, No one can take our mother's place; When days are dark and friends are few, Dear mother, we long for you. Time may drown a world of sorrows. Passing scene one's thoughts may still, But through life where'sr we tarry, You will live in our memory still. Mrs. Mary Ann Fieldsh Miss Pearl Seabrook, Mr. Robert Seabrook LOYD—In sad but loving memory of our beloved father, Richard Loyd, who departed this life April 7, 1917, age 87 years. Gone but not forgotten Long days and nights he tossed in pain To wait for cure, was all in vain. But God alone who thought it best Did ease his pain and give him rest. My self I cannot save. Myself I cannot keep, But strength in Thee I surely have, Whose eyelids never sleep. My soul to Thee alone, Now therefore I commend, Thoy, Jesus, love as thine own, And love to me the end. Sons: A. S. Loyd, Savannah, Ga. Slah Loyd, New York REID—In memory of my loving pastor, Rev. D. Augustine Reid. By Milton S. J. Wright ton S. J. Wright. Dear pastor Reid, the great, the good, A noble leader of our race. With task complete his spirit fled To heaven, its final resting place; And there in peace it shall remain, Securely wrapped from care and pain. His body neath sweet flowers sleeps And angels o'er him vigil keep. Weeping for one so dearly loved, Too soon it seems we had to part: To see him hid beneath the clay, Sharp sorrow fills the aching heart. It seems, I see him on the stand, Fain I could hear him give command; And with his out-stretched, loving arms Imploring people to reform. Think of the good work he has done, Behold the great reformer's hand; Ten thousand marching to and fro, To seek, to help, to lend a hand, Thy-life has not been spent in vain, Thy deeds are monuments of fame; Tis stamped with kindness in the heart, No more to meet us here on earth, The noble impulse thou hath given Will urge us on our mighty course, Until we too, are called to heaven, Beneath the clouds, is it the last? Oh, no! the memory of the past, As Bethlehem's star the wise men led.

J, Thomas, played airs that,caught the 400,00 peo- ‘ple that lined the streetse Then there was the dram major, Sergeant Lan- ‘ders, a Philadelphian, whose ‘masterly handling of his staff was the talk of the town. Each of the dally papers was loud in ite praise of the band, ‘drum major and regiment. When the regiment reached the stand where sat the President, his at- tention, that of Cardinal Gibbons and other notables were immediately cen- ‘tered upon the masterly way the drum ‘major bandled his staff.

New York, April 6.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John S. Shillady, announces that the Association has addressed letters to Governor Richard I. Manning of South Carolina and Gov. Hugh M. Dorsey of Georgia commending them for their efforts to bring to trial the participants in recent lynchings in their respective states and has protested to Gov. Thomas W. Bickett of North Carolina against the failure of officers of the law of that state to apprehend the lynchers of Peter Bazemore, a nineteen-year-old youth accused of an assault on the wife of a white farmer, who was lynched at Lewiston, N. C., on March 23. Bazemore was lynched fifteen minutes after having been found. The Association's letter of protest to Gov. Bickett follows: April 5. 1918 Hon. Thomas W. Bickett, Governor, Raleigh, N. C. 8 Dear Str: From clippings from the Virginian-Pilot and the Norfolk Landmark of March 26, we read that Peter Bazemore, a Negro youth, accused of an assault on the wife of a white farmer, was lynched near Lewiston, Bertle County, North Carolina, on March 23. We quote the following from press accounts: "None of the mob was masked, the lynching created no excitement, no attempt has been made to ascertain the citizens that hung the Negro, and it is presumably a finished episode." For the information of the newspapers receiving our press service, the National Association for the Advancement of colored people asks you what as governor of North Carolina propose to do to vindicate a hearing in a court of law. In this time of national crisis, when President Wilson's moral leadership has placed American statesmanship upon so high a lev- el that the eyes of all the world are on America, the whole nation looks in amazement and deep chagrin at the spectacle of lynching, and mob violence unrebuked in any of our states. This association condones all crime, whether committed by white men or Negroes, and holds that North Carolina's laws are sufficient to insure punishment of such crimes as that with which the mob's victim was charged. Sincerely volrs. Note for information—Gov. Manning demanded an investigation of the lynching of Walter Best at Fairfax, Barnwell county, on February 23, and instructed Sheriff J. B. Morriss to arrest all who were involved, as a result of which action seventeen persons said to be prominent farmers have been placed under bonds aggregating $97,5000, for trial in the courts. Governor Dorsey offered a reward for the arrest and conviction of any member of the mob in the lynching of Spencer Evans at Crawfordville, Ga., on the night of March 22.

AND 7 P. M. DAILY ECONOMIC JUSTICE KEYSTONE OR NEGRO ADVANCEMENT Frank Callen, Worker with Colored Children Regarding the welfare of the American Negro, the concensus of intelligent opinion seems to be that the economic idea is the only safe and sane one, if world democracy is, in truth, our goal. It is the one natural outlet for Negro brain and muscle. It is the one thing, to lay bare incompetence, wipe out illiteracy and make merit, the basis of reward. It is the one gigantic, forceful, compelling thing to bring about a more human sympathy on the part of industries and the state; not according to the old economists; that all adjustments between wage earners and employed be governed by supply and demand, but in line with the present day economists. The fluctuations of industries are too frequent, too severe and detrimental to too many members of society to be allowed to proceed unfettered. Today the state must stabilise the situation by interference in regulating hours of work, minimum wages, incomes and price fixing generally. Finally the state, to save itself from itself, must bring about better living conditions among the masses. From without, the magnitudinous extensions of the world war have opened unlimited industrial opportunities to Negroes. They have about completely absorbed all skilled workmen and are, at this time, bringing about a close census of the unskilled. There is no altogether open hearted attempt to share the recognized privileges of democracy in this stupendous fight for world democracy. It is the urgent necessity of the times which makes the masters of the situation yield as much as they do. Such an outlet is causing the race to face the fact that, within the ranks while pre war conditions gave us an over supply of skilled workmen; at present we have a shortage. Among the unskilled, the prices for labor are on a rise, in the South, with few exceptions. In many instances quite remunerative employment may be had. Yet, there is an amazing number of incompetents on hand, both men and women, who make it their aim to see how little they can do to exist. Such a condition was with us before the war, but in the general run of things, its vastness was unseen. These incompetents are but the result of educational, medical and social neglect on the part of the state in its days of peace. Negroes had no liberal share of the work in the various industries in America and consequently were not a power such as to bring about essential state protection where most of them lived. This predicament shoulders upon the leaders of the race the responsibility of keeping the thought of efficiency ever in the minds of their people. The supply of skilled labor must be kept flowing in a continuous and progressive stream. It must be ever on hand to fill the ranks of those now in the industrial foreground or the economic advantage will be lost. There can be no reasonable fear of flooding any particular branch of labor as might have been before the war. Millions of men are now dead and millions more will be killed and millions more will be killed and incorporated for worthwhile compition. The laws of warring foreign nations are going to prohibit the physically fit emigrating for several generations to come. The laws of our own land are already set up as a barrier to the inflow of the tremendous cosmopolitan hordes. There will be a shifting of endeavor, but no labor vacuum. The principles of democracy preached today by American statesmen and politicians at both the North and the South, will be as impossible to check after the war as the spirit which controlled the revolutions of 1776 and 1793. The industrial and agricultural pursuits America must multiply as a sequence of trade revival. Merit, will be the sign for general admission into America's labor market, not custom, not traditions, not color. And the only true way to meet the severe tests of merit among men is to lay down our lives for the proper training of our children. Today, the Negro in the skilled trade is experiencing a closer relation between reward and effort than has ever before been realized. The unskilled workman is also undergoing the very same condition. They both have now a better understanding of what they owe society and what society owes them. They know the multifarious reactions through which they have come. They will be stimulated to do their best. The black men are going to cause the industrial system of America to work with full efficiency. America thrives because of the output of products today, if for any reason this output falls off; social corruption and reforms may level down, but they cannot level up. Here, then, lies the greatest opportunity of the American Negro since emancipation. This country can not afford to go backward. She can not afford a decrease of the products of today. Self preservation forces a forward movement. The war has opened the eyes of several governments, this government included, to their stupidity of peace times. The eyes of these governments cannot be so easily closed when the new peace comes. The new America must recognize the claims of the masses of twelve million people, to the requisites of a healthful and promising life, with freedom of opportunity and general regulations which will permit of decent living. Then with opportunities from without; the spirit of efficiency from within; the realization of the incompetents on hand and sympathetic treatment of them which, in fact, is the wiping out of illiteracy; the filling of the industrial ranks so as to keep America's industrial system to the fullest efficiency, will make the Negro a most important factor in the nation's life. Economic justice must be the general condition of the times under a new peace, in the land of the leading standard bearer of world democracy. The power which this condition will create will force a concrete expression of the high value of twelve million people. And their claim for better living conditions even in the Southland will seem infinitesimal. Only with better living conditions can race standards be raised. Then only can we duly perpetuate ourselves by giving our children the training necessary to mold them into the honest, industrious, intelligent Christian men and womem of tomorrow. This is why we are forced to organize our men in industries and the trades. For their own protection. For their children's protection. For America's protection. Among The Masons Among The Masons A Mason's proudest boost—an upright life. The mission of Masonry is to uplift humanity. Let us make our lodges centers of moral and social uplift. Let us seek to perform our duty always, in every relation of life. Spread good Masonic literature. It will stimulate Masonic enthusiasm. There are no "fads" in Masonry. Our ancient order is one of the world's most conservative institutions. Do not forget your vows made at the altar of Masonry. You may not care what the world thinks of you, but you do not live to yourself alone. The good name of your brethren and the care of the widow and the education of orphans are involved in your disregard of the fulfillment of your vows. These may cry out against you in the days to come. Be loyal!—Masonlc Journal. --- Free masonry interests us in the duties and engagements of humanity; produces an affectionate concern for the welfare of all around us; and, raising us superior to every selfish view or party prejudice, fills the heart with an unlimited good will to man.—Missouri Freemason. The Melting Pot Our fraternity may well be compared to a melting pot or crucible in which the various elements of our population may be fused into one common mass, and the figure is not inapt. When we consider the many classes and conditions of men that are daily landing on our shores and becoming part of the national life, we can easily see that any influence which tends to remove from them the dross of ignorance and prejudice, belonging to their old condition, and bring them into sympathy with our own institutions, is most useful and worthy. Whatever of antagonism exists between races and classes is most unfortunate, and of all societies, Freemasonry is especially called and fitted for assimilation work. Its general spirit should throw into streams of sympathy the key barriers which too often separate men, and unite them into one common band of friends and brothers; and, falling in this, it signally falls in one of its missions. If this be true, how strange to hear or to know of lodges into which GAL SEVEN men of certain faiths are denied admission; or even more strange, a lodge at whose door a policeman, a fireman or a letter carrier knocks in vain! A lodge erecting such barrier or holding such prejudices is manifestly lacking in that broadness of thought and feeling which should characterize every member of our Fraternity. Let us hope that wherever such spirit may now exists it will soon disappear forever. Intelligence and good moral character may be found in all walks of life. Freemasonry should regard no man for his worldly wealth or honors. With education, as now generally diffused, there is no occasion for The curse of our present system of Masonry is ignorance. There are many Masons who profess to know all about the catechism, yea who never read anything Masonic, not even the great light upon the altar. If asked as to the meaning of any of the symbols, emblems or legends, they appear dumb. They even refuse to read in the bylaws the answers to simple questions, wanting them referred to the Grand Master, imagining that individual to be an infallible walking encyclopedia of law and usage, and a compendium of history, landmark, and tradition. One trouble with our present system is that we are not teaching Masons to think, but to remember, and so long as it is possible for a man to stand up and recite ritual by the yard, and receive the plaudits of admiring friends. he has very little desire to search after those things which go to build the fraternity into its high relationship to human activity.—Illinois Freemason.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE ECONOMIC JUSTICE KEYSTONE OF NECRO ADVANCEMENT Frank Callen, Worker with Colored Children Regarding the welfare of the American Negro, the concensus of intelligent opinion seems to be that the economic idea is the only safe and sane one, if world democracy is, in truth, our goal. It is the one natural outlet for Negro brain and muscle. It is the one thing, to lay bare incompetence, wipe out illiteracy and make merit, the basis of reward. It is the one gigantic, forceful, compelling thing to bring about a more human sympathy on the part of industries and the state; not according to the old economists; that all adjustments between wage earners and employed be governed by supply and demand, but in line with the present day economists. The fluctuations of industries are too frequent, too severe and detrimental to too many members of society to be allowed to proceed unfettered. Today the state must stabilise the situation by interference in regulating hours of work, minimum wages, incomes and price fixing generally. Finally the state, to save itself from itself, must bring about better living conditions among the masses. From without, the magnitudinous extensions of the world war have opened unlimited industrial opportunities to Negroes. They have about completely absorbed all skilled workmen and are, at this time, bringing about a close census of the unskilled. There is no altogether open hearted attempt to share the recognized privileges of democracy in this stupendous fight for world democracy. It is the urgent necessity of the times which makes the masters of the situation yield as much as they do. Such an outlet is causing the race to face the fact that, within the ranks while pre war conditions gave us an over supply of skilled workmen; at present we have a shortage. Among the unskilled, the prices for labor are on a rise, in the South, with few exceptions. In many instances quite remunerative employment may be had. Yet, there is an amazing number of incompetents on hand, both men and women, who make it their aim to see how little they can do to exist. Such a condition was with us before the war, but in the general run of things, its vastness was unseen. These incompetents are but the result of educational, medical and social neglect on the part of the state in its days of peace. Negroes had no liberal share of the work in the various industries in America and consequently were not a power such as to bring about essential state protection where most of them lived. This predicament shoulders upon the leaders of the race the responsibility of keeping the thought of efficiency ever in the minds of their people. The supply of skilled labor must be kept flowing in a continuous and progressive stream. It must be ever on hand to fill the ranks of those now in the industrial foreground or the economic advantage will be lost. There can be no reasonable fear of flooding any particular branch of labor as might have been before the war. Millions of men are now dead and millions more will be killed and millions more will be killed and incorporated for worthwhile compition. The laws of warring foreign nations are going to prohibit the physically fit emigrating for several generations to come. The laws of our own land are already set up as a barrier to the inflow of the tremendous cosmopolitan hordes. There will be a shifting of endeavor, but no labor vacuum. The principles of democracy preached today by American statesmen and politicians at both the North and the South, will be as impossible to check after the war as the spirit which controlled the revolutions of 1776 and 1793. The industrial and agricultural pursuits of America must multiply as a sequence of trade revival. Merit, will be the sign for general admission into America's labor market, not custom, not traditions, not color. And the only true way to meet the severe tests of merit among men is to lay down our lives for the proper training of our children. Today, the Negro in the skilled trade is experiencing a closer relation between reward and effort than has ever before been realized. The unskilled workman is also undergoing the very same condition. They both have now a better understanding of what they owe society and what society owes them. They know the multifarious reactions through which they have come. They will be stimulated to do their best. The black men are going to cause the industrial system of America to work with full efficiency. America thrives because of the output of products today, if for any reason this output falls off; social corruption and reforms may level down, but they cannot level up. Here, then, lies the greatest opportunity of the American Negro since emancipation. This country can not afford to go backward. She can not afford a decrease of the products of today. Self preservation forces a forward movement. The war has opened the eyes of several governments, this government included, to their stupidity of peace times. The eyes of these governments cannot be so easily closed when the new peace comes. The new America must recognize the claims of the masses of twelve million people, to the requisites of a healthful and promising life, with freedom of opportunity and general regulations which will permit of decent living. Then with opportunities from without; the spirit of efficiency from within; the realization of the incompetents on hand and sympathetic treatment of them which, in fact, is the wiping out of illiteracy; the filling of the industrial ranks so as to keep America's industrial system to the fullest efficiency, will make the Negro a most important factor in the nation's life. Economic justice must be the general condition of the times under a new peace, in the land of the leading standard bearer of world democracy. The power which this condition will create will force a concrete expression of the high value of twelve million people. And their claim for better living conditions even in the Southland will seem infinitesimal. Only with better living conditions can race standards be raised. Then only can we duly perpetuate ourselves by giving our children the training necessary to mold them into the honest, industrious, intelligent Christian men and women of tomorrow. This is why we are forced to organize our men in industries and the trades. For their own protection. For their children's protection. For America's protection. Among The Masons Among The Masons A Mason's proudest boost—an upright life. The mission of Masonry is to uplift humanity. Let us make our lodges centers of moral and social uplift. Let us seek to perform our duty always, in every relation of life. Spread good Masonic literature. It will stimulate Masonic enthusiasm. There are no "fads", in Masonry. Our ancient order is one of the world's most conservative institutions. Do not forget your vows made at the altar of Masonry. You may not care what the world thinks of you, but you do not live to yourself alone. The good name of your brethren and the care of the widow and the education of orphans are involved in your disregard of the fulfillment of your vows. These may cry out against you in the days to come. Be loyal!—Masonic Journal. Free masonry interests us in the duties and engagements of humanity; produces an affectionate concern for the welfare of all around us; and, raising us superior to every selfish view or party prejudice, fills the heart with an unlimited good will to man.—Missouri Freemason. Our fraternity may well be compared to a melting pot or crucible in which the various elements of our population may be fused into one common mass, and the figure is not inapt. When we consider the many classes and conditions of men that are daily landing on our shores and becoming part of the national life, we can easily see that any influence which tends to remove from them the dross of ignorance and prejudice, belonging to their old condition, and bring them into sympathy with our own institutions, is most useful and worthy. Whatever of antagonism exists between races and classes is most unfortunate, and of all societies. Freemasonry is especially called and fitted for assimilation work. Its general spirit should throw into streams of sympathy the key barriers which too often separate men, and unite them into one common band of friends and brothers; and, falling in this, it signally falls in one of its missions. If this be true, how strange to hear or to know of lodges into which GAL SEVEN men of certain faiths are denied admission; or even more strange, a lodge at whose door a policeman, a fireman or a letter carrier knocks in vain! A lodge erecting such barrier or holding such prejudices is manifestly lacking in that broadness of thought and feeling which should characterize every member of our Fraternity. Let us hope that wherever such spirit may now exists it will soon disappear forever. Intelligence and good moral character may be found in all walks of life. Freemasonry should regard no man, for his worldly wealth or honors. With education, asnow generally diffused, there is no occasion for ```markdown ``` The curse of our present system of Masonry is ignorance. There are many Masons who profess to know all about the catechism, yes who never read anything Masonic, not even the great light upon the altar. If asked as to the meaning of any of the symbols, emblems or legends, they appear dumb. They even refuse to read in the bylaws the answers to simple questions, wanting them referred to the Grand Master, imagining that individual to be an infallible walking encyclopedia of law and usage, and a compendium of history, landmark, and tradition. One trouble with our present system is that we are not teaching Masons to think, but to remember, and so long as it is possible for a man to stand up and recite ritual by the yard, and receive the plaudits of admiring friends, he has very little desire to search after those things which go to build the fraternity into its high relationship to human activity.—Illinois Freemason.

WEST BROAD STREET WILL YOU VOLUNTEER TO FIGHT IN THE WAR? This is strictly a call on the Patriotism of the People of Georgia, who never have passed up a hunger call of a suffering people of their own or another nation in distress The foregoing are FACTS. Those rules are LAW and they apply all over the United States. Compliance with them means furthering the fight against Ring Power of a Monarch and to save the world from Monarchial Government. No State has offered the nation of which it is a part more than Georgia has in the past. No people have responded to humanity's plea more readily. Now to the point: If ESTIMATES promise to accomplish the task this country MUST meet, of feeding our own and our associated armies by the conservation of wheat flour products under the foregoing REGULATIONS and by the observance of TWO WHEATLESS DAYS A WEEK, how much more certain will that accomplishment be made if we VOLUNTARILY go before the world with A WHEATLESS WEEK—SEVEN DAYS, FROM APRIL 21 TO 27 INCLUSIVE—IN WHICH EVERY HOUSEHOLD IN GEORGIA WILL FOREGO, ON ITS OWN MOTION, THE CONSUMPTION OF ANY WHEAT? No other state has been asked to do this, but if Georgia does it others will have to follow or prove their shortness of a patriotism in keeping with that of the EMPIRE STATE OF THE SOUTH. It is going to be only a repetition of that history which this state has written, by action in past years. Georgia will stand in all the nation, and at the most critical period of the war, as THE LEADER AMONG STATES in a voluntary service which will be CERTAIN OF RESULTS. The County Council of Defense in Each county, and the Chamber of Commerce in each community in Georgia is asked to immediately put itself behind the request for a and communicate to the Federal Food Administrator for Georgia, 414 Chamber of Commerce Building, Atlanta, Ga., just as nearly as possible the exact amount of wheat and wheat products saved in their community. This statistical information is desired to present to the United States Food Administration in Washington TO KEEP GEORGIA'S RECORD STRAIGHT and to be held up as AN EXAMPLE TO ALL THE OTHER STATES OF THE UNION Strict wheat and wheat products regulations have been promulgated by the United States Food Administration, as a MILITARY NECESSITY, so that the United States may meet the Demand made upon us to supply the armies associated with us on the battle lines in France with food. Fifty per cent of the wheat consumed by the people of the United States in normal times MUST be conserved and shipped to the soldiers. There are two ways by which that MILITARY NECESSITY can be met: The people themselves can do it by voluntary action or the Government can do it by the force of enforcement. Prizes to be Awarded Again for Best Cleaned Communities Tuskegee Inst. Ala.—Some days ago in the announcement that National Health Week would be observed. April 21-27, it was stated that Mr. Allen W. Clark, chairman of the National Clean Up and Paint Up Campaign Bureau, St. Louis, Mo., was this year, as done last, offering three silver cups for the best cleaned communities. Since that time so many requests for full details of the contest have been received that the following suggestions and conditions for entering the contest are herewith offered to the public. These conditions are the same as for 1917 and are as follows: In order to enter the contest for the cups it will be necessary for each community to organize and appoint committees to carry out a definite program as outlined below. Records must be accurately kept in order that the report of the campaign in each community may cover the following points: 1. How was your city, community or section organized to carry on the campaign? 2. What organizations, etc., co-operated with you in the campaign? 3. How many public meetings were held? 4. What was the attendance at each meeting? 5. What were the programs rendered at each meeting? 6. How many house-to-house circuits were distributed? 7. How many pieces of advertising matter were placed in conspicuous places? 8. State briefly how you inspected your community before the campaign began its work to find out what was most needed to be done. 9. State your method of inspection after the campaign was over, to ascertain how much cleaning up had actually been accomplished. 10. How many homes of volored people are there in your city, community or section? 11. How many of these were cleaned up during the campaign? 12. What was done to get rid of files mosquitoes and rats? 13. What was done to encourage the planting of flowers and beautifying of premises? new coats of paint or whitewash? 15. What system did you employ to dispose of house and yard rubbish? 16. Describe here any special feature of unusual interest in connection with your campaign. It is suggested that in each community there be a Clean Up Committee which shall arrange a program for Health Week. This committee should appoint other committees as follows: 1. Committee on Inspection—The duties of this committee will be, two weeks before the opening of the campaign to make a thorough inspection of the community and decide what especially needs to be done. After the campaign is closed, this committee is to make a second inspection to see what has been accomplished. 2. Committee on Publicity—The duties of this committee are to provide house-to-house circulars and other advertising matter and decide on a plan for thoroughly distributing the same throughout the community. 3. Finance Committee—The treasurer should be Chairman of the Finance Committee. The duties of this committee will be to see the business men of the town and solicit a moderate contribution to defray the expenses of the campaign. Small contributions and many of them is the best way to finance a campaign. 4. Committee on Meetings—The duties of this committee will be to arrange for public meetings in schools, churches and other places in various parts of the community. 5. Committee on School Children—The duties of this committee are to have a proclamation prepared and read before every class in each school, appealing to school children to do their part in the campaign to make their community the cleanest, and most beautiful in the country. Adopt some plan for interesting school children, such as offering prizes for essays on clean up subjects. 6. Committee on Files and Mosquitoes—The duties of this committee will be to provide and distribute circulars, giving simple rules for destroying breeding places of files and getting rid of same; also simple rules for preventing the breeding of mosquitoes; confer with city officials and health department officials to have such rules observed and carried out. Program for Campaign Householders of the United States have been called upon by the United States Government to reduce their wheat consumption, at once, to not more than one and one-half pounds per week per person. That's to be voluntary. The merchant and dealer has been limited by order to sales strictly conforming to not more than 24 pounds per customer at one time to people living in towns and cities, or 48 pounds per customer, at one time, to people living in the country. No sales may be made by a merchant at any time without the purchase AT THE SAME TIME by the customer, or an equal amount of substitute cereals. how to keep physically and morally clean. Monday—Fire Prevention Day—Clean your basements and attics of rubbish, greasy rugs, and waste paper. Fifty per cent of the fires start in rubbish piles.

Wednesday—Yard Day—Clean your yard of all rubbish. Cut lawns, plant flower beds, clean walks, repair sidewalks, and fences. Thursday—Paint Up and Whitewash Day—Paint up and whitewash inside and outside, porches, fences, woodwork, porch chairs. Make everything radiant with fresh colors.

CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH The services on last Sunday were well attended.' The pastor preached at all services. His text-on Sunday night was taken from the 7th chapter of Revelations and 14th verse, subject. "These are the company saved." The sermon was very noble. The Sunday school is increasing. 'The P. V. 18 begins Sunday afternoon at 7 p. m. The revival is now on. BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION On Wednesday April 3, there was an interesting meeting of the City Union of which Prof. J. W. Hubert is president, at the Bryan Baptist church. There were two additions to the large membership of the union. Among those who took part in the discussions were J. E. Johnson, W. S. Roundfield, Prof. W. D. Thomas, Mrs. L. O. Hubert, Miss J. K. Fisher and Miss Charlotte Jenross. The features of the literary and musical program were solos by Miss Fisher and J. E. Johnson and reading by Mrs. Hubert. The next meeting will be at the Mt. Zion Baptist church, May 1. TUESDAY MEATLESS ONE MEAL WHEATLESS 92nd DIVISION IN NEED OF SOLDIERS The 92nd Division (Negro) National Army is in need of soldiers who can qualify as stenographers, electricians, auto-mechanics, machinists, pharmacists, hospital attendants, clerks, typists, saddlers, harness-makers, bakers, horse-hoers, etc. Through the co-operation of the press we have secured a number of specially qualified men, but our need as yet have not been fully supplied. Doubtless there are many Negro registrants who are qualified to meet the requirements of the Division, and who will be called sooner or later, who are willing to enter the military service ahead of their turn on registration in order to serve. Reciprocally, there are distinct advantages to such men of entering the Army when they are needed most. In so doing, they fit into places for which they are best fitted and which they prefer to fill. All correspondence should be addressed to Lleut. T. T. Thompson, Assistant Personnel Officer, Headquarters 92nd Division, Camp Funston, Kans. The Spirit of '18 fats are fuel for fighters bake-boil-and broil more fry less United States Food Administration We hear much these days about colored people not patronizing colored business enterprises- The truth of the matter is that many Colored business men have neither kept pace with the broadening and discriminating tastes of the Colored customer nor with the specialised efforts of their white competitors. This is the age of specialized selling methods and the Colored merchant must "fall in" or "fall out." The difference between the business which is "mighty fine" and "just so so" is the difference in merchandising methods. We can help you to put your business into the "mighty fine" class.
