She told the story of what she had been able to accomplish in twelve years through steady application to business and judicious investment of money. She started with $1.50 and a tots of faith.

Simple, oh yes, but so refreshingly, well, natural They were startling; rather narrow skirts, short sleeves, tunics, all thé ‘features” that we have stamped with the year 1918. But there was this about them, you simply“could not forget them! They were dresses that you would like to wear yourself! One was of corn-colored Georgette crepe; there were two widths of the crepe, gathered at the waist, and fall- ing to the bottom of the hem of the foundation skirt. These widths were not seamed on the sides, but were al- lowed to hang ag floating panels. Above the twelveinch hem were five two-inch tucks. Around the waist was a lovely soft satin ribbon, orchid-col- ored, tied in a hugh bow on the left side, ang thén falling down in cascade effect to the hem of the skirt. The waist has one of those stralghtacrass necks with tiny pin tucks, and the sleeres were very long and full with 4 double rufile of the same crepe at the lower edge. On the outside of the arm abore the wrist the sleeve was gathered up; so the whole effect was of a draped sleeve. ‘There were sleeveless jackets of var- ious colors and marvelous sports skirts, striped, plaid and plain. Indeed, it was a veritable revel of simple summer styles. ‘There is something awfully domantic about 2 cape, The long folds make far amystery, and the concealing yet reveal- ing lines and suggestions of sleeves ap- peal to the love of adventure in all of us. This year the cape has returned to its own. ‘There are military capes, swith all the swagger of material music and flags; there are practical blue serge capes with sensible collars; and , there are crafty little affairs of satin with bewitching linings. Sometimes the capes are draped on one side, with a make-believe sleeve, achleved by the way the long pointed end is thrown over the wrist. Sometimes they are coats in the front, with a belt, and real sleeves coming through the long slits. ‘They are practical, too, for so many purposes, On the cool summer even- ings in the mountains or by the sea, they are just the thing to throw about one. In wind or rain, too, they bold their own, for one can wrap 2 cape of waterproof gabardine or tweed abou! one, and venture forth in otherwise forbidding weather. _ Standing for America! There was once a great artist whe talked and preached “the beauty of the commonplace.” We here in America have to a certain extent made that out symbol.

Grant, teacher of Reldsvitie School, Waycross, Ga., Js given as fol- jows: ’ The Negro Business Leagu and Its Object The ,Negro Business League whose founder was Dr. Booker T. Washington has beén organized in several cities and towns and 18 doing a great work. No small help has been afforded to ‘our people by the insistence upon the use of the carefully prepared plans furnished by the Business League. While this means much for the town and community at large it means even more for our schools, which are thirsty ‘for some means of expression of the art longings now crushed within them. One of the main objects of the Busi- ness League is to urge every member and citizen to use his or her influence to bring the people together, and ~urge loyal Support on the part of the mem- bers of the race to the business en- The league is mighty in its cohesive power, strong in influence and rich in rrewnltss Again, its object is to exe- ente crime and criminals upon the same scaffold; and with equal deter- mination blot out both from their membership. 7 The curse of drunkardness and other evil habits, such as obtained among the less reputable of the race, can be more successfully reached by this jeague than any other institution in our midst. gaged in among ourselves. The Business League is well organ- ized, and can be of great service to the city of Waycross in fostering an in- terest {n civic affairs; such as sanita- tion, clean yards, cultivating pride, in making attractive in appearance the home districts of our people; and in other ways showing an interest in everything that tends to make up a better community life. The power of this league is easily summed up in two things: The plan of its organization, and the method of its work; gather- ing an active membership qualified by character and spiritual power, it at once gets the best of all in government and working force. A force generated which becomes, not that of Elijah un- der the Juniper tree, but that of an army of thousands of determined souls. The Business League recog- nizes this great law and simply puts the leaven of righteousness Into the Jump already formed. The great force which influences us possibly more than any other, is the social. Give men a good social environment, and you have ‘certainly done a great thing to start him upward. A man becomes like his companions, and his taste falls to the level of his surroindings. In order to better our conditions Spiritually, intellectually, financially and socially we must get at the bottom of all, place a moral foundation for the support of the building. We must learn to make our own literature as Well as to teach and preach. We must Jearn to be thinkers and producers, as well as jmitators and consumers. In other words, we must join hands and hearts with the Business League jin its great object to promote the com- mercial and financial development of the Negro, and let us arise in our midst and save ourselves with a complete salvation. Not only political salva- tion is needed, but moral, intellectual ‘social and financial’ salvation is need: ‘ed. 7 | He who would be free must first strike | the blow; he who would rise must firs! divest himself of welghts and invest himself with wings, The next regular meeting of the Negro Business Teague will be held at its headquarters, 458 West Broad street, Wednesday night,,.May 1, Come [ears and bring a new member.

This is true in busi- hess life. in social life, in the realm of Cligion and in the domain of Masonry. If your church is to he successful and fulfill its high and holy mission, you nust attend its services and Iend your hid to all its Iandalle undertakings, If your lode is to flourish and do its vart in the great cuase of Masonry, it aceds your active aid and earnest co operation. Z . Attendance upon Jodge meetings is fone of the xreatesf essentials of its growth sud prosperity. Your presence is absolutely necessary. The otlicers can accomplish litle or nothing without the assistance of the members. If there is dexree work to do, a large attendance adds much to the dizmity land solemnity of the occasion, If only ordinary business is to lid stransacted, the voice and vote of all the members should aid in its proper transaction, Tu any event, a well-attended lodge means a successful lodge. Do your duty, therefore, brether and attend your lodge regularly. eee Lecture—Twenty-ninth Degree ” This degree emphasizes the Masonic principle of relizious. toleration, Ma- sonrs does not dictate the form of re- Jigion which those who would enter its portals must have.

Any man may knock att he portal, he will not be persecuted for his belief, nor will he be accepted merely because of theth—but his life and his loyalty to the foundational laws of God, that is, the effect of his behef, will determine his worthiness ¢r unworthiness.” Masonry is not itself a religion, but Masonry is the exalted spirit of man- Leo that takes its bromer py the hen 1 gm) Teads Itim to te altar of the one tow God. sud sare teaches Lem to worship. adore, anu obey Do man's vision ¢£ iol and his con- sequent beliefs-are his own, He may comprchend more or tess fully the truth and thee beliefs and these compre- Rensions may = make up his religion. Masonry teaches that no institution has any authority over the form of that man’s religion provided if does no violence fo others. Hence, Masonry in- sits only upon the old primitive faith in the one trne God, a universal moral- ity, a trne, just and faithtul life in Joyal obedience to the laws of God. The trie Mason is one who seeks to we all his faculties in their proper sphere and for their natural functions. He does good from the pure motive of duty to God and justice to fellow man. “The.poor and the oppressed may look to hi min confidence. For the true Ma- son loves notconly the good, but even those that are evil, that he may win them to goodness. Yet, through the ancient and:honorable of earth bid him how down to them. his knee bends only when his soul hears the command of his God, Masonry declires that there is no Teligious bondage to men. but freedom for evéry man before the liv. ing God.

It looks to us as if this is a fine thing for the protection of the soldiers’ dependents, in case disease or death shotld befall the soldier; and it must ‘be added that there is no other insur- ance near so economical or near 50 certain of being paid to the beneficiary. The relatives of every enlisted or @rafted man should be certain that he oes not let this opportunity slip and should keep at him until he has taken eat the insurance. One happy child in this nefghbor- hheod has received nine thousand dol- lars from the government on account ef the death of her father who held the war insurance, He was 2 wise father. His child was well provided for in his death. Some of the companies of Negro troopers have the. insurance, not & single man being without it, A great many will dle or be killed if the war Jasts, and while mere money cannot atone for our loved ones, it will go @ long way toward removing the misery which poyerty would bring. Encourage your soldier boy to take out the maximum of war risk insur- ance. It is cheap and it is the hest ‘and safest investment of the day. FRANCE CALLS FOR NMP _ Additional numbers of youny men within the selective draft limits wil! go forward to the sarious cantonments within the next few days. These will take the places of those who have sone before them and who will soon be on their way to the fighting regions in France. These men are not as well trained as they might be, but they are as well trained as a great many of the French and English boys were when they took their places in the trenches. France has sent an additionai 1p peal to America for more men, France and England expect to be ready for the great spring drive of the German army, and rely upon the United States to furnish a strong mobile reserve for bolstering up the French, Fnslish snd Italian fronts when it ts needed. ‘The national army men are in splend- jd shape, in both physique and train- ing, according to army officers, nd their training reflects the high efficiency ‘of the men who have directed the work. It is,generally conceded that the Na- thonal Army units are far superior to the National Guard, most of whom had a wide smattering of practically us-lesa knowledge which had to ke unlearned before intensive modern training couid begin. From now on developnynts in the nation's part of the great war will come thick and fast, and the move- ments of our troops will be rapid to- ward fighting scetors. ” At home we shall have to donble- quick our plans and our operations, 89 ng to keep an unending stream of ma- terials and munitions mov:ng foward the trenches, A FORECAST The appointment of colored women to the police forces in some of the Jarger cities, the election of colored legislatures, the election of colored men to the city councils fn some, and the appointment of colored men to many other positions of prominence in muni- cipal, state and national government, savours of political opportunity for Ne- ‘groes, and presages what will one day ibe widespread throughout this country. _ Major R, R. Jackson, Negro council- manic candidate of Chicago, bas just defested his white opponent, although the white aspirant had the support of some of the Negro political factors. Our readers will recall the victory of Assemblyman EB. A, Johnson of New Fork City in the heated political fight of last winter in the great metropolis. We are learning the game of polities in some quarters, and while we have had our interest almost stifled here in the South, there yet smoulders the em- ‘pers of the days of Negro suffrage in "in the South, before that most precious attribute of citizenship was lost ,through white men and Negroes who exploited the ignorant and unprincipled ‘voter, . ® - We shall one day enjoy this lost heritage again-here in the Southland, ‘too, when progressive, thinking men of all classes and races shall be possessed ‘by their nobler selves and shall Inaug- urate the millenium of fair play'and Justice. There are many who know snd feel that this right is unjustly and also dis- honestly withheld from Negroes whom ‘they know to be fitted and competent in every way to exercise it, andthe number of these thinkers.is growing ‘as tho Negro's development and nd- vancemert make the wrong more con- ‘spicnons. . |. These men will one day fy into the teeth of a wicked and punishing public opinion, regardless of consequences, and assert the right they knaw to be ours. Until they do this, they, themselves are the slaves of a system of oppression, their consciences stultified by a spe ‘cles of wrong and sin, which must even now cause the more fair-minded no little suffering and annoyance. _ Grown-up in these conditions, where it is traditional to oppress Negroes and deny them full citizensh{p, where they are taught, to fear to entrust: power and position to Negroes, they have lost to great extent the keeuer sensibilities and acute sensitiveness to wrongs com- mitted against Negroes, especially what they look upon as negative wrong. ‘Their senee of fair-play and square dealing is dulled and blunted, but their revelations are coming with the new ‘order of things—this world-wide ac- quaintance with people and goveri- ments. , The days of slavery and restraint, of proscription and circumscription, are ‘over. Their sun 1s nearly set. ‘The days of-freedom and Negro par- ticipation in the affairs of the world, dawns, * AND THEY WENT FORTH TO DO BATTLE” Inspiring and magnificent are the mild words with which to characterize the great patriotic mass meeting which was held at St. Philip church last Sun- day. aftertioon and which was address- ed by the Canadian lieutenant, fresh from fhe trenches of Europe—just out of the horrozs of war. Followinx his grim recital of the pitt- less, brutalized warfare which the Ger- mans are making one only upon men but upon the defenseless women and children of the Allles, one could sense the burning and pulsating patriotism of those present, their unreserved de- termination to place at the disposal of ‘our government every possible contri- bution of men and money, that America may become, in truth, the divine in- strumentality by which civilization and humanity nlay he saved out of the del- uge of terrible war and still more ter- rible death. ° It was a momentous and significant occasion—was last Sunday afternoon— in its revelations of the real soul of white men and black men—all Ameri- cans—met to counsel together and to join hands to conquer the common en- emy—the Germans. Negro men responded to the nation’s all at Bunker Hifl; Negro’ men re- sponded to the colors at New Orleans; Negro men stormed the Spanish block- house at El Caney; Negro men poured out thelr blood upon the hot ‘sands at Carrizal; and Negro-men will not falter now. We believe we arep laying for great stakes in citizenship consideration and concessions of: freedom. We are will- Ing to stake and risk all we have and are and know in a world strugele for the enthronement of right and the se- curity of life and peace. "Because we have asked our govern- ment for justice and fair-nlay; because wwe are demanding a man’s chance, we are willing to take a man’s risk that the world may be saved for civilization and right. It does not appear to us that our self- ish ipterests, alone, are subserved Ty sending to the hattle line onr gallant song, the flower of the future of the Nogro race; we are no longer +> yisioned had self-cultured; we can never again be purcbased by sordid prizes of mere money and preferments, We are, thinking and feeling on higher planes, in these days of greater Ught, wider opportunity and visualized, def- inita goals. What we are fighting for cannot be purchased by money, can- not be inherited by individuals alone. Our prixe must be wroung from the con ‘sciences and hearts of men who haye ‘unjustly held us from It and it from us, but who, because in this critical dour as in many another we * onstrated, not only to them, but in the open forum of the world our right to Plenteous dividends in manhood rights, too Jong withheld, unjustly. And in our fight for the preserva- ‘ton of the nation and the perpetuation ‘of Its ideals and the vitalizing and act- ‘ualizing of {ts democracy, we shall be battling with the grand procession of the free peoples of the earth; they know, and will Know more of us and ‘ours; there will not, nor can there be anything hidden or submerged—for we have performed in the open courts of the world, whose doors are flung ajar "ona whose windows shut net out the light of truth nor the purging and purl- fying reasoning and decisions and pre- cedents of master minds. We shall be heard before the immaculate and un- tampered bar of worldi judiciary, where neither corruption nor perjury shall \be-known, nor ever bas been; and we shall speak unimpeached and unafraid. ‘We do not ask for quarters or con- eassion, save only as we are justly en- titled and because “our hands are clean” of having perpetrated many foul ‘deeds which have been committed Against ug by merciless and unthinking ‘men, and because we shall be planted upon the’ great principles to which so many thousands of lives have been consecrated and dedicated in the bloody maelatrom of Europe—We belleve we ‘shall win, by God’s help. 5 | Line-up! then, black men, black wo- ‘men ang'black children; and let us go forth to save our nation, to quench forever the fires of human hate, and to setup the scales of justice'in thelr stead, in that greater community_of all peaceable nations knit together into one ‘fering and sadness, welded into one ‘on the battlefield and sealed in a grue some ‘mixture of blood. THE NEGRO VOTH | Im bis recent address-before a. mass ‘meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the ‘Reverend Thos. J, Goodall made a strong plea for colored men to qualify themselves for the suffrage exercise. “Most of our disfranchisement” he, said, “4s by forfeiture and negation. We do not seek to know the layy governing the baliot: we do not endeavor to mect the simple requirements set up by the states and hence, we largely eliminate ourselres. ' “Here in Georgia, the requirements are so simple and reasonable that a man would not he a good citizen, could hot exercise and discharge the duties of citizenship If he could riot qualify under some one or other of the seteral conditions; and in those cases where Negroes are iegally and unjustly de- nied the right of registration, they should not be satisfied until the courts ‘have ruled upon the conduct of preju- diced registrars.” | ‘This analysis and summarization of ‘this vexing problem in this sectlon ap- Pears to us to he about the most plaus- ible solution which we have heard, and we think that leaders should bring this situation forcibly and regularly before their bodies, instructing them to fit [themselves fully and well for regisira tion, and prevailing upon them to turn out in Jarge numbers, pay their poll tax Ee register. It is no doubt largely true that Ne ‘grocs have lost out to a great extent by disuse and neglect of such little opportenity in this line as they once ‘had, and equally true that to a large ‘extent the coveted privilege may be ‘recovered, In any case we have got to keep on fighting for this deserved and logical attribute of citizenship, unceas- ingly, until we Have won out. } Constitutional amendments guarantec jing the hallot to the Negro, and giving Céngress power to enforce it in the states, have not been abridged or re- ‘pealed, and Negro people themselves must unite to defeat and destroy for- pever technicalities’gnd cireumventions which contravene our citizenship rights. The ballot is the only effective wea: pon of citizenship. M. W. REDDICK No mistake whatever was made In placing Prof. M. W., Reddick as the head of the colored department in this state of the War Savings Stamp Com- mittee. He is well-liked by every’ ene und has the facility of presenting his eause in such a way as to win success. Through his efforts and those of his associates he succeeded is pullin off the biggest demonstration ever, wit- nessed in the state among our people. In his state work for War Savings Stamps he ha¢ selected a fine set of committeemen, who will give excellent account of their stewardship in this exmpaign. Mr, Reddick is modest and he is unselfish, having the stamina that makes him indeed a big man. CONFERENCE OF WAR SAVINGS STAMP WORKER: A meeting of chairmen of the vari- ous Congressiona} Districts and ptom!- nent committeemen of the War Sav- ings Stamps Committee, was held Wed- nesday last in Big Bethel church, At- Janta. It was presided over by As sistant State Director, Prof. M. W. Reddick, Hugh Richardson, state di- rector, Mr. Rose and Mr. M. ‘Woods, white, were also present and added much to the conference. Ex- pressions were made by each work: er’ present, and all-seemed determined to have the colored people of the state do their fall duty in the thrift stamp campaign. - ‘This conference was followed by 2 mammoth .parade the next day in which all of the churches. headed hy their pastors, Sunday school, a bat talion from Camp Gordon the Uniform Rank, K. of P., the various schools, colleges, lodges, societies and manj female organizations took ‘part. It was mildly estimated that 10,000 per- sons were in line, It was indeed an impressive sight. : * jsthetimetodoyourbestinhelping : —-yourgovernment.

NEGRO FORTUNES Worthless Allotments Years Ago Now Worth Millions When the United States government made the allotments of 160 aeres of Jand to members of the Pve Civilized Tribes, beginning about 1899 and con- tinuing for several years. the older Tn- dians and Negroes secured their pick of thel and. ‘This fact explains the rea- on that almost all of the rich Creek Freedmen are minors, many of whom will not reach their majority for sov- eral years. Thos who had first choice of the, lands almost without exception selected the rich bottom farming land, leaving the rough mountainous country for those who came late. And here fs where the youngsters won out for the rugged lands contained practically all ‘of the olf and gas wells and with the opening up of these wells and the high + price of the products, money flowed in to them without the slightest effort. Minors ‘were generally supposed tn those days of allotting fo have come ‘out second best and many is the father or gnardian of these minors who tried to sell the 160 acres of rough land for a Httle ready cash, and in most eases _falled. One example of this is es pecially striking, Portha Rector, now 14 vears of aze, ‘ fm ebout 1909 tried her best throuzh hee guardian to sell her far off quarter section in the county court for $400. but no one would bid even half that “ gauich for ft, Te could herer he used for farming, they thought. But onls » year or two later the oil discoveries fn thatssection hegan and Sarah's land proved to he one of the best producers. Her income now is something like $6. 000 or $8,006 a month, making her al ee ae ee oe a a the cash she is-piling up for her pos session when she becomes of age. During the present year the first few of these rich Creek minors will attain thelr maority and will have the dis. posal of their fortune In thelr own hands, taking this power away from the guardians and the county court. ‘Just what the unlimited power over large sums will do for these almost un- educated, unbalanced Negroes—for practically all of the Creek minors ure full blooded Negroes—will be interest- ‘ing to see. ° Daith Durant, who is 18 on July 2, 1917, owns one’ of the richest of] ind gas producers in the famous Glenn Pool in Tulsa county, where the first oll was struck in this country, Lee Hays and Monday Durant, joint guard- fans, handed over to her Iu July 2 lease hy the Prairie Off and Gas Compans, giving her one-cigith of the production, $700,000 dy cash, 850.000 fir notes and mortgages and the title toa namber of farms in Muskogee county, mounting in all to more than 2 million eollars.

CALE TO BAPTISTS OF GEORGIA A final call to the Baptists of Georgia: We wish to call your attention to the approaching end of our StateWide rally which closes May 9th. Some of the brethren are sending in nicely, but many whom we expected to hear from have not yet sent in, but some how we feel that every one will come up loyally by the time the state wide rally closes at Macon, Ga., May 9th. A note of $1,200 on the reformatory will fall due at a very early date, and we must by all means save these two beloved institutions to our denomination. While there is scarcely any doubt that the brethren will respond liberally, yet there is danger of many putting it off until a late hour, and thereby cause the officers of the convention much anxiety and embarrassment as to the outcome of the rally. Let us come forward as men and for one time get the Baptist State Convention of Georgia out of debt. We are compelled to make this appeal owing to the fact that Dr. D. D. Crawford, our corresponding secretary, who was designated by the executive board to manage this campaign was suddenly stricken down with illness which threatened to incapacitate him for travel and general office work until too late to be serviceable in the rally. We therefore feel called upon to sur up your pure minds by ways of remembrance, and urge you to cheer his heart on his sick bed by collecting and sending in your money to the Baptist Headquarters, 162 Auhurn Ave, Atlanta, Ga.
