The special program included musical and dramatic features. In addition to the nearly one hundred official guests, the chapel was crowded to its doors by the representative citizens of Washington, both white and colored.

The The Savannah Tribune. HOWARDITES AT CONFERENCE Those Who Are Most Concerned Should Speak and universities throughout the United States to the recent College Disarmament Convocation which was called by the Council of Church Boards of Education and other organizations working among young people to meet in Chicago, Ill., November 15th and 14th, 1921, three were Howard University representatives. The Invitiation to President J. Stanley Durkee, of the Howard University, asked that representatives of Howard be sent and attendance was urged upon the following grounds: "To the youth of the land now in college and point of the land now in college and high school, the significance of President Harding's attempt may be vast greater than to any men of middle age, or old age. To these younger men it means a vast change in mechanical and financial conditions, and it may mean the sacrifice of life in military service of multitudes of young men now in schools or of their children. No part of the community has a better right to speak than those who must carry the burdens and meet the troubles of the future. The success of the Convocation was attested by the important resolutions passed and the great interest which was aroused among the students in the schools and colleges in the great problems now under discussion by the delegates to the Conference on the Limitation of Arms being held in Washington, D. C. The delegates to the College Convocation appolated by the President of the Howard University were Dr. J. W. McDowell, President of the Chicago Howard Alumni Association, Attorney Herman P. Moore, and Dr. H. Reginald Smith, all of Chicago, Ill. PENNSYLVANIA MASONS MET The One Hundred and Sixth Communication Full of Interest The 106th annual communication of the Grand Lodge of Masons of the State of Pennsylvania was held last week in Philadelphia. It was presided over by Grand Master Andrew S. Coles. One of the most important incidents of the session was the retiring of Grand Secretary Wm. H. Miller, the veteran, who for forty years held that position. This act was voluntary on his part. The annual address of Grand Master Coles was considered a masterpiece. The Grand Lodge is securing a commotion temple. Each member was taxed two dollars for two years. To the additional taxation a delegation was present to protest but after hearing the excellent report of the building committee they joined in hearty approval of what was done. The report of Editor G. Grant Williams of the Craftsman, showed excellent management. The venture paid for itself with a balance of $101.11. Because of Editor Williams' success, some brother anxious to reap where another had sown, wanted to add to the management of the publication. The brethren were so well pleased with Editor Williams management that they total against the venture. In the report of Foreign Correspondence, Chairman T. W. Collins paid the Georgia Jurisdiction under Grand Master H. R. Butler, M. D. a deserving trifle by classing it the banner of all the sister jurisdictions. A committee was authorized to prepare a history of the grand lodge. The officers elected are: Andrew S. Coles, re-elected as Grand Master; Clarence C. Kittrell, re-elected deputy grand master; Wm. G. Butler, senior grand warden, re-elected and James R. Williams, junior grand warden, re-elected. Wm. H. Miller, P. G. M. who has served as grand secretary for about forty years declined to serve longer, and John S. Watson, was elected to succeed him, and J. Henry Sellers, was elected as assistant grand secretary; Howard D. gould was elected grand treasurer. Brother Wm. H. Miller, P. G. M. installed the newly elected officers, and the grand lodge adjourned to meet in December 1922. Hampton. Va. Dec. 18—Negro extension work in Virginia, which is carried on in 20 counties by 27 farm and 7 home demonstration agents, with 4 district agents, all of whom are colored, under the direction of the Virginia A, and M. College and Polytechnic Institute of Blacksburg and the U. S. Department of Agriculture co-operating, and which reaches annually 30,000 men, women and children, will receive Virginia appropriation July 1921 to June 1922 amounting to $43,000, according to a recent statement made by John B. Pierce, a Hampton graduate, who is the .ad agent for the Negro county-agent work in Virginia and six other southern states, before the agents' annual four-day meeting which was held at Hampton Institute on "Alms, Method and Results of Extension Service." "When we began this demonstration work," he said, "we had no local aid in any county. Now every country helps and 90 per cent of this aid comes from public funds. The vital need of colored people is better home life." John R. Hutcheson of Blackburg, who is the state director of extension service for Virginia, declared that "the battles of peace that American farmers, are facing are harder than the battles of war that most of them faced." Director Hutcheson paid a warm tribute to the colored Virginia agents, "who are trying to bring about the kind of of farming conditions that we want and should have in this country." Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in opening the conference, summarized th world food situation, as recently stated in "World Agriculture" by E. M. East of Harvard: "There are about 1,750,000,000 human beings on the earth to be fed—1,750,000,000 human engines to be stoked with food three times a day. It is estimated that about two and one half acres of land are commonly needed to support each individual. There are approximately 1,500,000 tillable acres of land in the world, of which not half are being cultivated. The maximum population which the earth can be expected to support is 5,000,000. We have not reached that figure yet, but we are nearing it. "Since it will become increasingly difficult to get the food that is needed, good farming is going to be more than ever necessary. We must mix brains into our work. We are rightly giving more attention to cooperative buying and selling. There is need of improving community life and of bringing people together. The farmer must be made to feel that he has real neighbors in thought and feeling. This improvement in country life is an all-round thing: it touches not only material things, but also religious family life, and every day, old fashioned righteousness." Virginia's leadership in colored farm demonstration work was vouched for by I. O. Schaub, field agent for the States Relation Service, white work, of Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana, who quoted Director Hutcheson's note on submitting the Virginia program of the Negroes of Virginia. "There are today in the southern states 185 or 170 Negro men and women" said Prof. Schaub, "who are working primarily for their race and are teaching farm men and women to know what to do and how to apply common sense to their everyday business. White and colored agents are mutually helpful to each other. The white Virginia agents made a fine showing at Blackburg, but they did not beat the colored agents, when it came to conducting a meeting and putting over a job." That those men and women who go out to do demonstration work and help in solving problems of home and farm must be equipped with agricultural information, as well as with agricultural inspiration. It was the conclusion stated by W. A. Lloyd, Washington, D. C., who is in charge of countryside work, North and West, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Mr. Lloyd reported his impressions of the Negro thrift which he saw in the neighborhood of Tuskegee Institute and the improvements which he noted among the Negro farmers of the Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama, after an absence of twenty years. "There came to me", he said. "a vision of the New South that is being created by people like the farm and home demonstration agents. We need Work Among Negroes Has 77,000 Members New Buildings For Negroes, Valued A More Than Two Millions New York, N. Y., Dec. 21st—Now that its sessions have ended and its delegates have carried back to their homes the experience and inspiration there gained, it is possible to appraise with some accuracy the work of the national conference at Chennai in December of the colored Men's Department of the Young Men's Christian Association of North America. With representatives present from 28 States and white as well as colored leaders participating, the conference devoted intensive study to the needs of colored men and boys and how to meet them. Opinions received from many sources by Dr. J. E. Moorland, Senior Secretary of the Department, indicate that there are numerous grounds upon which the conference may assume historic importance; not alone in placing the benefits of a practical Christian program more fully at the disposal of colored men and boys also in co-operative efforts to solve interracial problems. It is significant that the main headlines of an article in the Cincinnati Inquirer, reporting the first session of the conference and the address of Dr. John R. Mott, General Secretary of the International Committee, Y. M. C. A., was the phrase "Good Will." It is significant, too, that the conference took place simultaneously with the addition of Africa to the fields of permanent service of the American Y. M. C. A., the sending of a colored leader, Max Yergun, to that field being financed by members of his own group in this country. These things indicate the spirit of the conference and the broadening outreach of the work at home as well as abroad. Much time was given to considering the needs in the rural districts of the South, realizing that from both the Christian and economic standpoints the responsibility in that connection is a most compelling one, calling for sacrificial service in labor and money. Student, industry, city and boys' work were studied also, so that by exchange of experience and opinion methods might be formulated or improved. With "Cooperation" as the keyword of the conference, encouragement was found in the evidences of increased cooperation among racial groups within the Association. Among these evidences is the policy in force for several years in the Association in Cincinnati in having the branch, for colored men represented upon the general board by one of its own members; also the inclusive policy of the Chicago Association relating to Inter-branch athletics. The Finding Committee's report urged "the extension of this just policy so that a colored branch membership ticket will be recognized for such educational and other privileges as the holdover own branch may be unable to offer." The attendance and spirit of the conference were expressive of the remarkable expansion of the Association movement among colored men and boys since the previous national conference, five years before the war. During the twelve years since that time the number of Associations within the Department had grown to 174 and the membership to 33,000. Full recognition was accorded by the conference to the impetus imparted by the gifts of Julius Rosenwald of Chicago. These now exceed $300,000 and are included in the cost of the twelve modern city Association buildings for colored men, valued at nearly $2,000,000. Mr. Rosenwald's continued interest in the work was emphasized by his attendance at the conference. The upward and outward reach of the work as revealed by the conference may be fittingly summarized in the words of a delegate who recalled to Continued on Page Two. GREETINGS: With full appreciation of the many courtesies shown during the past year, we extend our best wishes to our patrons and subscribers for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Washington, D. C., Dec. 21—Pinkney Benton Stewart Pinchback, Negro governor of Louisiana from Dec. 18, 1872 to Jan. 18, 1873, died here today. He was 84 years of age and had lived in Washington for the past thirty years. Until his retirement several years ago, the former governor had practiced law here. Death came after a lingering illness. He succeeded to governorship as he tenant governor as a result of the impeachment of Governor Warmoth. He also was elected to Congress in 1872, but did not take office, as he at the time was waging a contest for a seat in the United States Senate. The contest, however, proved unsuccessful. He also had served as state senator, as delegate at large to many Republican national conventions and in several local offices in New Orleans. He was gowned and publisher of the New Orleans Louisiana for eleven years. During the Civil war he was a captain in the Louisiana native guards. He was born in Macon, Ga. Surviving him are a *widow* and two sons. Burial will be in New Orleans. CHAUNCEY WILSON AWARDED FIFTY DOLLAR PRIZE Chester, Pa., Dec. 21st (Associated Negro Press)—Before an audience which packed the Lincoln University Chapel and included many Oxford people, th Mrs. Louis Atherton, Dickey prize of fifty dollars was awarded by the donor to Chauney N. Wilson of Palatka, Florida. The essay which was read by the successful contant, was a thoughtful discussion of the subject, "Disarmament from a Christian Point of View." In introducing the Speaker of the evening Prof James Carter, who presided, said, while Warren G. Harding was President of the United States that Dr. Oswald Garrison Villard was head of "The Nation" and that Dr. Villard's grandfather was stirring the conscience of the nation while Dr. John Miller Dickey of Oxford was founding Lincoln University for the Higher education of the Negro. Doctor Villard who has been in daily attendance, at the Peace Conference at Washington, spoke of it as "A Conference to lower the cost of war." He contended that it was dealing with the syngonies rather than the disease, and that armaments are for war and not for peace. Mr. Hughes however, the speaker said, had stunned the world of diplomacy with his clear out, straightforward, business-like proposition. The Conference has focused the thought of the world on "armament and the rights of the new-paper men in attendance reach four hundred million people." The effects of Mr. Hughes' speech cannot be exaggerated, and it is not improbable that an annual conference, a demonstration association of nations, will grow out of the present gatherings. The speaker said, "If we do not get war out of the world, the world, will be wrecked by war." Doctor Villard approved a president Hardling's proposal to outlaw war, and said, that the "Knox Man" of bringing all international all-putes before the World Court of The Hague would be the most prompting method of securing world peace. RESIGN AS COUNSEL GENERAL New York, N. Y., Dec. 21st, Associated Negro Press—Reliable information has been received by the Associated Negro Press to the effect that William C. Matthews, of Boston, Assistant Counsel General of the U. N. L. A., the Garvey Movement has resigned his position. Mr. Matthews is a former Assistant District Attorney in Boston, and one of the recognized leaders of his state. It is predicted that other honors will soon come to Attorney Matthews. his fellow workers the words of the Apostle Paul; "Be of good cheer—I believe God." Practiced In Certain Play Houses In New York City New York, N. Y., Dec. 21—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today announced the result of letters sent to Loew's Incorporated, against whose theatres in Harlem complaint of discrimination had been made by colored patrons. The first letter sent by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. to Loew's Incorporated, stated: "A number of complaints have come to me regarding the attitude of certain employees at Low Theatre, especially those located in Harlem. In certain of these剧院, notably the Victoria Theatre in 125th Street, when colored people—if matters not how respectable they may be—attempt to purchase orchestra seats they are told that none are vacant but they will be seated in the balcony. In some cases when they have purchased seats in the orchestra they have been refused admission by doorkeepers—and told that they can sit only in the balcony." Mr. Johnson's letter further pointed out that this constituted a violation of New York State Civil Rights Law. In reply, finally, the following letter was received at the national office of the N. A. A. C. P: I have before me your letter of November 30th, addressed to Mr. Marcus Lassw. "We are thoroughly aware of the existence of the Civil Rights Law. Employers of the剧院, in which we are interested, are instructed by their respective management to afford equal accommodation to all persons irrespective of race, creed, or color BATH ROOM ADDED TO HOSPITAL A much needed addition has recently been made to Charity hospital in the form of a new bath room, a Christmas present from several of the doctors on the staff. The addition which consists of two baths, lavatories, a shower and other necessary fixtures will add greatly to the comforts of the patrons of this very worthy institution. The addition was built by Dr. I. B. Williams and the fixtures, gas and plumbing were the gifts of Dr. W. C. Blackman, W. H. Harris, C. B. Brent and P. E. Love, all members of the hospital staff. New York, Dec. 19—Rhiel Waters, star of the Black Swan Troubadours, has signed a unique contract with Harry H. Pace, which stipulates that she is not to marry for at least a year, and that during this period she is to devote her time largely to singing for Black Swan records, and appering with the troubadours. It was due to numerous offers for marriage, many of her suitors suggesting that she give up her professional life for one of domesticity, that Mr. Pace was prompted to take his step. Some love sick swains have fallen in love with Miss Waters picture appearing in new papers, while others have been captivated by her voice and personal charm. Although she travels with a maid, it will be necessary for her to employ a private social secretary to attend to her mail. If the endearing communications continue on the increase, While recently playing in Wheeling, W. Va., one promising young physician most broke up the tour of the Black Swan Trumbadours, so convincing was his picture of the delights of marriage. When the incident was reported to the New York office Harry H. Pace lost no time in sending Miss Waters a new contract containing the no parriage provision and a salary agreement representing a figure for each night's engagement and each record that most people would be glad to earn in a month, along with a detailed account of his reasons for depriving such an agreement and the slender promptly signed the papers and returned them to New York. Miss Waters contract with the Black Swan interests makes her now the highest safaried colored phonograph star in the country. NUMBER 9 Marmy Are, Advocating, That "To The Victor, Belongs the Spells" Washington, D. C. Dec. 21st (Associated Negro Press)—Announcement that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill had been advanced on the Calendar, brought a large number of interested citizens to the national capital. The determination of the Harding Administration to carry war against the various congressional "blocks" now in the national law making body, has created unprecedented interest in legislative matters. There is no denying the fact that the present Congress will accept the suggestion of President Harding in his address before the body in which the President declared strongly in favor of party organization. This followed by the unpleasant address of Secretary of War Weeks in New York, shows which way the wind is blowing, and proves beyond doubt that the Administration forces has walked from the dream of political triumph, and have begun a campaign along the line of the old saying: "To the victor belongs the spoils." If the Republicans could sing that ditty as the Democrats do, (always) in the opinion of several practical party workers, the Administration might be able to get off some of the rocks of disappointment on which it has landed the Republican ship. "High kills are all right" said in United States Senator to the A&N P. representative, "has to make hay while the sun shines"; the boys back home who deliver the votes must be given the jobs." Continuing he said: "It is enough to make Mark Hanna turn over in his grave the way our Administration has kept the Democrats in office, and listened to their wild stories of having changed party." The holiday season is on, but beginning the first of the year, the greatest set of year political contest in the history of the country will begin. The Democrats think they have a "world of material" of intelligence and failure to live up to promises with which to go before the voters. Northern Democrats, particularly, will make a strong bid for Negro votes for close centers. The Republicans will seek a vote of confidence, and will set about to establish a nationwide organization. ARRANGEMENTS UNDERWAY FOR EMANCIPATION DAY The officers and delegates of the various Social Clubs and all organizations connected with the Social Club Union are asked to present at the final meeting, for the Enamogist, Day celebration, which will be held at the Auditorium of the Savannah Hope Asso.

We need to begin to train young men and young women in the college itself for this work, which is very rapidly coming to be a profession. Those who go out to do correctly agent work must be filled, not only with enthusiasm—because enthusiasm burns out—but also with knowledge. Negro borg's club work in Virginia, which is now done on a state-wide title, was firmly commended by Federal and State officials of the States Relations Service who are responsible for supervising and developing extension work. I. W. Hill, Washington, D. C., who is in charge of aboys' club work in 15 southern states said: "Teach the boy modern farm practices and he will follow them for a lifetime. Guide and direct young people's social recreation in proper lines. Organize all the forces in your community and turn them into this extension work to make the life of the boy and girl what it should be." Home Demonstration Agents The home demonstration agent's program follows; "Hailing Poultry for Protif," F. S. Gammick, Hampton Institute; "How the Home demonstration agents" Mrs. M. M. Davle, Blackburg in charge of state home demonstration work; "Household Arts in the home," Caroline D. Pratt, Hampton Institute; "Knowing the Needs of Girls" Carrie Alberta Lyford, Hampton; "Girls' Club Work" and "How to Conduct County Ballies" Hallle L.

C. in charge of extension work with women, north and west. That the, homemaker, who works ten to thirteen hours a day, helping to care for the great human crop of other class of workers, larger than children, is a larger class than any the workers in all other industries, and yet is reported by the census takers under the heading "no occupation," although she is also a full partner in the farming business, was Miss Ward's graphic summary of America's mostorious economic and social problem. Miss Ward gave a summary of facts, "With the U. S. Department of Agriculture mode is being used for population data for the largest economic problem—the feeding of crops, than for the feeding of children. In 1914 there came the first legislation which ever mentioned the American home. It stipulated that a certain sum of money should go into the country homes of America to help train farm women to become more efficient. The next step is agriculture, from the economic landpoint, is to build up the American farm home. In the country there must be a center of life, warmth, happiness, contentment, amusement, good reading, and the spirit of hospitality. The home is the greatest educational institution in the world. Our great job is to help the average family to gain a margin an to spend that margin wisely." DISTINGUISHED MEN (Continued from Page One) ful presentation of the great spiritual merryman, *Simon*, the Cyrenian, written by Hidgely Torrence for the Negro Theatre. The play powerfully paints the tragic scene where Simon, the great African insurrector, while refusing to rescue the Christ by force from his Roman captors at the instigation of Procula, wife of Pilate, yet does relieve the stricken Son of God from the deadly burden of the Cross and bears it himself up Calvary to the place of crucifixion. Thus the play had a special significance because it stressed the Negro's message of peace and divine love to the world. The work of the Howard Players is now nationally established but individual Roy W. Tibbs rendered an effective musical program, showing the evolution of Negro music from the pure folk-song type such as "Roll, Jordan, Roll," "Swing Low," and "Steal Away," to the compositions of our latest composers, Harry T. Burleigh, Nathaulel Dett, Montague Ring, and Coleridge Taylor. The singing of the quartet and the solo work of R. A. Thornton won pronounced applause from the audience. The rendition of Beethoven's Adagio by the Associated Musicians called forth the special praise of the Washington Star. Chapel Converted into Little Theatre The University Chapel had been artistically converted; into a Little Theatre with a perfectly appolished stage. The charming proscenium and the beautiful scenery were the work of the players themselves under the personal direction of Thomas J. Hopkins. The very (effective) costume were designed and executed by the young ladies under the direction of Evelyn Lightner assisted by Alma Thomas. Margaret Smith in charge of publicity displayed rare executive ability in the excellent results obtained, thronon Darve was stage manager. The Howard Players under the direction of Montgomery Gregory and Marie Moore-Forrest, ably seconded by Alan Locke are working to develop the dramatic talents of the race. They aim to establish a National Negro Theatre, which as in the case of the Irish. Theatre at Dublin, shall win worldwide recognition and respect for the race. Mrs. Forrest known through the country as an outstanding leader in community drama and pageantry has sacrificed her time and energies to the notable success of the work. Her services in this regard cannot be too highly recognized and appreciated. Professor Gregory also has the crucial support of Percy Mackaye, Eugene O'Neill, Kenneth Macgowan, leading proponents of dramatic art in America. The Players next offering will be on January tenth when they will present a beautiful Persian play, "As Strong as the Hills", written by Matalor Lake, a Washington High School girl. This production will have many of the features of "The Garden of Allah" and "Summurn" in the gorgeous and exotic effects of the scenery which has been assigned by Cleon Throckmorton. This will be followed in April by the production of "Othello", Shakespeare's masterly tragedy. In this play the conditions of Elizabethan stage will be closely approximated. J. W. JOHNSON IN WASHINGTON REPORTS ON DYER BILL New York, N. Y., Dec. 28—James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the Nationit Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which has been in Washington, furthering the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, Hirn, in reports as follows: "Rest assured the Bill is in no danger. The leaders (in the House of Representatives) are almost as much interested in seeing it pass as we are. It is only a question of the propitious time for bringing it to a vote." Mr. Johnson explains that many Republicans are absent from Washington during the holiday season and the leaders no not want to bring the Bill to a vote until passage is absolutely assured. Mr. Johnson's report continues: "I am in daily conference with the men who are leading the fight: Madden, Barton, Mordell, Goodkyontz Longworth and Ansorge, and I feel convinced they intend to put it over. Dyer does not want to take any chances. He wants to play absolutely safe, and so there is a probability that the Special Rule will be adopted Monday or Tuesday (Dec, 19 or 20) the debate opened, and the vote laid over until after the holiday recess, when the full Republican force will be here." Mr. Johnson warms that efforts in behalf of the bill must not be slackened and says: 'In the meantime we must not slack en up on our pressure. We must still urge through our branches and especially through the colored press that citizens request their representatives in Congress to be present when the Dyer Bill is brought up and vote for it.'

Have you attended young man? REV. PRINCE TO PASTOR JERUSALEM BAPT. CHURCH M. This is the likeness of Rev. W. H. Prince who has accepted the pastorate of Jerusalem Baptist church. He is the founder and exporter of the Good will Baptist church, and pastor of Sweetfield of Edlen Baptist church. He was unanimously called to care for that Christian congregation of energetic men and faithful women. And we can say, without the least apprehension of a successful reputation, that they have called a young man who is easily classed with the foremost thinkers of our ministerial benefactors. He is courageous, thoughtful and persistent. He is liberal in the disminuation of helpful information and is constantly consulted in order to gain information as to the best solution of church problems and influences. His uncommon native ability, coupled with his acquired knowledge, makes him a master of the many problems incident to the operation of a successful church. We can safely say, that his unselfish ambition and his friend making disposition will bring to that praise deserving membership, much help from the general populace in the execution of their plans to advance the cause and to perpetuate the work. Now, if his defenders will cheerfully and self-sacrificingly, support their TWELVE E TAO HIR decender, our most sanguine, expectation of favorable results, will be measured up to, with the extraordinary service, his great mind, and his exceptional abilities are capable of affording. Under his leadership, may the church prosper in every way that will durante Christ's observation and approval. Little earnest desire of his and the church's many friends. A Contributor FIRST A. B.

THE ASSOCIATION MEDICAL PRIZE ANTI LYNCHING BILL During the week, the Dryer Anti-Lynching bill was up for consideration in Congress. Unfortunately the mering of the holidays has had some effect on its thorough consideration. The Democrats, especially those of this section are radically against the measure, and are already making every conceivable argument against the bill. The Democrats are well organized against the measure and are determined to defeat it. They are already classing it with what they call the "Force Bill" of many years ago. It behooves the Republicans and every friend of the bill to be on the alert, and that no advantage be taken against its successful passage. "MERRY CHRISTMAS" The coming Sunday will be celebrated as the advent of our beloved Saviour. In this observance Christians in nearly every cline will join and sing loud hoda nama to our Lord and King. The day springing on Sunday should cause observance to be fully in keeping with the event. With due reverence and joy it should be observed. Herefore Christmas day has been turned into a hilarity and wantonness. In this event many of those who are professed loyal followers of Christ have joined. There should be a radical change in the manner of celebration and more of the Christ like spirit should prevade the day in making joyful and happy all around us. EDITORIAL EXCERPTS DO YOUR OWN THINKING This is a good time for thinking. A little mental exercise of the right sought will show everybody that the signs of the times, the basic steps to stability, to improvement placed on the strongest foundation. It is foolish to be like the unthinking sheep that follows the irresponsible neighbor sheep over a fence. The man who lets himself do that sort of a thing, and so encourages others to go blindly as he is doing, is his own worse enemy and not the friend of the community in which he lives. Do your own thinking. Take a deep breath and hold your head up. Don't jump out of the grave pasture into a field of hairs that does not pay. Morning News. NO NORTH, NO SOUTH However the politicians mare prate an drive the bloody shirt, a governme- ment of the people, by the people, and for the people means: "No North, No South." To the task of governmental responsibility, they have bledged, and wore the bloody shirt, a governme- tration of purpose to the greatest good of all the people, will only suffice to obliterate sectional lines, and give us a government well fitted for the performance of the duties devolving upon it. The great big broad hearted American must learn that a disregard of the constitution, and the rights conferred upon her citizens, will redound to her discredit and precipitate disgraze. This must be learned in both the North and the South. The infringements upon the rights and an infraction of the privileges of the citizens of any country by the country itself argue the inability of that country to measure up to the demands, or an open disregard for the provision of her constitution. Some things like these are and have been, taking place in America. There is a law in physics that says: "The action and reaction are equal, and in opposite directions." In every case reaction will develop, or demonstrate itself in science, in law, in government and society. So it is incumbent upon humanity to observe the laws, which in reaction will produce the best results. The government is pledged to the task of giving protection to every citizen; to see that he enjoys life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And in all candor we declare that this is not the case. We are not making a course. tention, but wish to declare that the governmental responsibility will be demonstrated when she shall grant this privilege to every man in America without regard to race or previous condition of servitude.—Denver Star. WHAT AFRICA GAVE THE WORLD Who were the Negro's ancestors? As the white editor said, it is the duty of the educated to answer this question for the masses. Before all other things a race must be filled with hope. If he sprang from nothing, he will believe he can be nothing. If the leadership of a race has been busy having a good time, it cannot answer such vital questions. The majority of Negro leadership believe that their ancestors were jungle folk. The white man who asks the question does not know that when his ancestors were in barbarianism, the torch of civilization in Africa for 4000 years had been unfame. The black African had given the world the art of welding iron when the other races of the world were in the stone age, that age when men met life's stern necessities with rude stone tools. The Negro passed directly to the use of iron. In Africa no stone implements ever appear except in Egypt and South Africa. Llrington saw not one flint arrow head or stone chisel, though he looked diligently for them. The glazed pipes and earthenware used in smelting found in innumerable quantities, proved that iron was welded and pottery made on the Dark Continent in the remotest ages. They had this start when the white man's progenitors were grubbing flint to kill game. Andee declares: The Negro developed his own from kingdom, passed it to Egypt thousand of years ago, who passed it on to barbarous Europe. Consider what this invention meant to the progress of the human race. "The history of metals" say Myers, has been declared to be the history of civilization. No other agent has contributed more to the progress of mankind. At the time of the earliest African discoveries, blacksmith shops were to be found all over Africa. Livingston passed thirty in one day. Iron only came into use among Arran people 150 years before Christ. The African had tamed and given to civilization some of the world's most important plants; and a number of our so-called, modern medical discoveries are based on facts learned by black Africans of a thousand years ago. Von Franzius considers the African the original of domestic animals and Africa their first home. On the Congo are to be found today remarkable breeds of fowl and cattle and great skill is displayed in their management. "The natives" says Park, "know how to make them extremely docile by kindness and familiarity. In our civil war, no one could drive our army mules like the Negro. Arose of fable fame, was an African. The Hottentots of South Africa, today tell remarkable animal stories with a moral like his at the end. The African of 1600 years ago spun and dyed cloth more durable and beautifully colored than the European of today. Barth says the weaving of cotton was known in the Soudan in the 11th century. These people may have been the originators of weaving so universal is the art in all the homes of the Soudan today. Dutillo tells us that long before cotton weaving was a British industry. West Africa and the Soudan were supplying a large part of the world with cotton cloth. The Negro is aborn trader. Lenz says, "Even the Jew might learn much of the cunning of trade of the African trader." These are the people whom the slave trade wrecked. They were manufacturers of cotton fabric, earthernware, instruments and carpets, set gold and precious stones. There were great trade routes. The products of central Africa reached Europe long after trace of their source was lost. For thousands of years, active trade was carried on with the interior. The Bible spoke repeatedly of the merchandise of Ethiopia, not of Egypt so famous was it in the earlier life of the world. Worn trade routes seemingly in use from times innumerial are cut in Africa still to be seen today. Down to a recent epoch caravans were considered sacred. Passing fearlessly through contending armies, a relic of the fixed laws of earlier days. The spirit of traffic today prepares abnormally among numerous tribes. Their dealers display shrewdness and tenacity. The Bongo tribe are even acquainted with the art of mating. Some of the tribes have numerals in their language up into millions, proving their use in past highly developed trade. Redus says: We are indebted to the African even beyond Egypt for many valuable plants, sorghum, date, banana, kalifir and coffee plant, and for valuable domestic animals, dog, cat, pig, ferret, goat, sheep, and probably the ox were first tamed by the Africans. Ancient sculptors show the real African species brought tamed with lions into Egypt. In the Eastern Soudan and in the Congo state are cattle parks with tens of thousands of heads of cattle. There, after the ravage and destruction of five hundred: and we would hold up their owners as jungle savages today. The people of Soudan whom we call genuine Negroes are natural posts, orators and musidans. Traveling bards a thousand years ago, sang in rhyme on sweet toned instruments of their own invention, the great deeds and conquests of their people. Great cities had been built, that it took hours to truverse. Very numerous were the cultivated fields. Student terraces remain and evidences of where long ago they irrigated their fields. Lirlington found evidences of all these things in districts which had long been depopulated by the Slave Trade which were grown up into forests. The African is a natural agricultural as Dulbols says: "They are of all the natural races the best and keenest tillers of the soil." Major Leonard, a world authority on race psychology, found the disregarded Negro on the pestilential lower Niger. natural reasoners always thinking, even their children were natural orators. Wherece could spring such gifts but from ancestral heritage. The idol-which were found in Africa, which we supposed were gods, are images of their ancestors, the wonderful Ethiopian of old, ancestors worthy of veneration, whose memory they worship. Ancestor worship is all we have left them of a marvelous past. A past in which black folk were teachers, not slaves alone; as false history would teach us. A past to which we are in debt for much that we know. But for the wreck of the Slave trade, we do not know what other masters Africa might not have given to the world. Just as the Indian driven back from his natural environments, often lost his skill and knowledge of former arts, so these people, harassed, murdered and driven farther back into deserts and residential lands, lost their original arts, forgot their original family names and the location of their first homes. What need to accustom late for the spoil of the greedy Moor and Turk? Why plant to invite their ravage and murder. So he became an African living only for the day. The nature of the African was peaceable. He has been busy building, creating, benefiting the world. The wild and intracable hoards of Turkey and Arabia with horses and firearms found him an easy prey. He had been adding to the arts of life. They had been studying the arts of death. His mission had been constructive, theirs destructive. The Turk and Arab despised agriculture, they lived by reaping what others sowed. They pulled and packed the rich African cities destroyed and defaced the temples of Ethiopia and the myriads of other wonders which Arabs tell us are buried under desert sands today. Upon this earlier rule follows the debauchey of the Slave Trade perpetrated upon prostrate Africa by the civilized nations of today. One tribe was incited against another. The fruitful fields were laid waste. The weaker tribes were driven back into barren wilderness, where starvation made some of them cannibals. Livingston came upon cultured districts where the slave raider had passed through, the dead laying where they had fallen. In 500 years we stripped Africa of 500,000,000 souls. Today you may pass over the dark continent and stupendous rules, broken sculptures and defaced inscriptions are all of her glory that remains; yet in the museums of London, Paris, Rome or Berlin, they are the marvels of master workmanship after the passage of ages of black men that modern ingenuity cannot imitate. Mrs. Drunella Dunjee Houston in the Black Dispatch. AMERICAN NEGRO, GREETINGS: (By Kelley Miller) The race is now standing at the end of one year and the beginning of another. The World war marks the epocal transition. We are marking time, rather than marching forward. Our churches are augmenting in numbers, rather than gaining in spiritual power. Our schools are gaining in efficiency but wanting in moral energy and inspirational appeal. Our political life is retrograde. In business enterprise alone is there encouraging indications of a progressive spirit. The burden of race reclamation is shifting from philanthropy to our own shoulders. The future service of philanthropy will be material, constructive and advisory. It can no longer be kept intimate and directive. Two generations of philanthropy have wrought in vain and unless the Negro has been enabled thereby to walk on his own feet. The only help that is worth while is the help which helps the helpless to help himself. The Negro must henceforward furnish his own leader ship and guide its own segregated life which he is forced to live apart. Race cooperation, not race control, is the way for the future. The best elements of the two must unite in the spirit of mutual respect and good will for the common weal. Ten million Negroes possess all of the potentialities of civilization. But like the wild water power of our mighty rivers have been going to waste to full the centuries. Slavery harnessed the Negro's animal and mechanical powers to the crude task of the South's industrial needs. The new task of Negro leadership is to gear up his latent power to the engineery of race uplift and reclamation. There is no "fundamental, eternal, inescapable difference" of race which the Negro can recognize in any mood. The Negro must stand, if he stands alone, for the intellectual, moral and spiritual unity of mankind. Religion must not surrender to page. Christianity must not be allowed, to compromise, with color. The task which elevates upon the New Negro leadership is as great as any which falls upon human shoulders. An ideal must be formulated which is sufficiently tangible and definite to appeal to the whole race and quicken and inspire their dormant energies. Whether this ideal shall ultimate in America or on some distant continent boots but little. The thought is greater than the thing: doctrine is greater than the deal. A principle is greater than a program. The ideal transcends the deal. Let this be the fulcrum by which we shall uplift the race. I would say to the New Negro leader-hip: acquit Yourselves like men; awake, arise, make ready the New Way for the New Day. N. A. A. C. P. ANNOUNCES New York, N.

Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 12—(Associated Negro Press)—Officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad have recently notice of the annual career of John J. Jones, veteran employee of the System. Thirty three years of steady service on the famous "Congressional Limited" one of the finest trains in the United States is his achievement, equalled probably by very few dining or men in the country.

While he has occasionally operated on some other trains he is distinctly a Congressional man and during his long duty on this coach he has become personally acquainted with, and been called by name, by nearly all the distinguished national characters during the post quarter of a century, having personally served meals among others to presidents. Cleveland, Harrison, McKinley, Roosevelt, also to Congressman Reed and Cannon's speeches of the House or Representatives J. G. Blaine, Wm. J.

Binghamton, N. Y. DO IT NOW, BEFORE YOU FORGET. GRAPHER DIO IN of NE 1820 RUSKIN At first blush it would seem to be an old idea for a casket company to be the basis upon which a community should set up a plan that would have for its chief object economy in matters of general expenditures. Ift people die. It costs money to provide them a respectable burial. No people have a deeper pride in matters of this nature than the colored race in this country. Conditions have been so shaped that they have not been getting full value for their money and pride. These are among the more advanced reasons set out by Robert L. Ephrani, its general manager, for the organization of the Pyrimid Casket Company CAPTAIN AND MANAGER ELECTED FOR NEXT SEASON Washington, D. C. Dec. 2147 (Associated Negro Press)—As a final close to the 1921 football season, the Howard University Football Squad held its annual banquet at the Whitlaw Hotel, Thursday evening, December 18th, at which time "Bull Dog" Williams, star left end, was elected Captain of the Varsity Squad for the season of 1922. Captain Williams, who was recently In jured in the Institute, West Virginia game, is now rapidly convalescing. His election of captaincy for the coming football season came by a unanimous vote and is a well merited recognition by his teammates. John H. Smith, a member of the class of 1922, was elected to serve as Student Manager. For the very efficient work of Assistant Manager, Samuel Cheverers, the Squad voted that he should be given a special Varsity II. The manufacture of caskets and full funeral supplies is the purpose of the Pyramid Casket Company on a basis never before attempted by colored people in this line of business effort. The company has been organized with a capital stock of $10,000. A proportionate share of this stock is offered to the colored people throughout the country for the express idea to bring its advantages within the reach of all the colored families in the land. In connection with the banquet to the Varsity Squad, a most interesting program was arranged with Major M. T. Dean, Head of the Department of Physical Education, as tomaster. The program included the special "Team Song"; a speech by Captain Emmason D. Fuller, of the 1921 Squad a toast to the University by full-back Payne; responses by members of the Varsity Squad; singing of the Alma Mater; remarks by Coach W. E. Morrison, and a speech by Captain elect Williams, ending with the Howard Yell. The Varsity men awarded letters for the 1921 season are: John R. Nurse, end; Albert Brooks, tackle; E. C. Melton, guard; Leo Holton, center; Frederick Crawford, guard; Emmason Fuller, tackle (Capt.); Dennis Smith, end; Ernest Johnson, guard; William Kean, quarterback; Pezaria Hardwick quarterback; Raymond E. Contee, half back; Auron H. Payne, full back; Charles Doneghly, halfback; L. L. Melton, half back; Merrit C. Molson, half back; R. Gayland Howell, Student Manager was given a letter for efficient work and cooperation with players. The Asst. Manager, Samuel Cheevers, John E. Smith, and Robert Craff, were awarded numerals. The year men received sweaters instead of gold footballs as was the cast last year AMERICAN WOODMEN ESTABLISHED FOR NEGROWS Denver, Col. Dec. 19—(Associatl Negro Press)—Possibly, few Negroes know that the American Woodmen, the leading fraternal insurance organiza- tion among Negroes, was originally established by white men with the arrowed purpose of insuring the lives of Negroes. And still more interesting is the fact that these white men, after attempting to do business among Negroes from 1901-10, frankly ack- nowledged that they were unable to do so and turned the organization which they had established over to a group of Negro men headed by Hon C. M. White. At the time of this change in management, the association numbered a tenant membership of 1,846, with total available assets of a little over $7,000,000. In the 12 years since then, the society has grown under the management of Negroes until it now numbers over 60,000 members and counts its assets as closely approaching the "million dollar mark." The society is a living testimonial to the fact that Negroes can ungu their own affaires build up their own enterprises with its great efficiency as whites. INVESTIGATING FALL ELECTIONS New York, Dec. 20—Careful investigation by the Associated Negro Press discloses the fact that among the controlling factors in the wide swing of Negro votes to the Democratic party during the fall election was the failure of the Republican National Administration to come up to expectations in the matter of racial recognition, and the statement of President Harding recommending that citizens of the Negro race divide their votes. "We took the President at his word, and acted," said one life-long Republican. This wholesale detection of voters has created consternation in Republican circles, and already organization has started for 1922. Alderman George W. Harris, who sticks to his councilmanate seat by a plurality of 79 votes, and stating that he does not fear the result of the recount, took the lid off at a recent meeting of the city organization, and declared that unless the Republican party changes front, there will be little hope for success in the next election. COLORED BASEBALL LEAGUE SOON TO BE ORGANIZED Colored-White Motorcycle Races At Fair Grounds Monday afternoon at the Fair Grounds there will be a series of automobile and motorcycle races which will doublest attract one of the largest holiday crowds of the year. The races are being extensively advertised and will present several out of town speed kings of note, among them such well known motorcycle riders as Dare devil Zeke of Baltimore and Morris Exerett of Rockyford, both of whom will ride eight-valve Indian machines. These speed demos, however, will not in any wise have easy sailing as nearly all of the local motorcycle kings are entered in the races and expect to carry off a big share of the prize money. The afternoon's program will include five in storey race, two for colored boys and three for white boys. This is the first time a program of this kind has been presented to the local public. Among the colored boys who are going to ride will be Eddie Given, who took first place in the last two colored races, and Jimmie Walker, winner of second place in these events. The last event on the program will be two automobile races in which all the well known local white drivers will take part. Much interest is being manifested in these two events in which aide from the local drivers will be seen the well known Lexx driver, Bob White of Columbia. A colored interstate baseball league is about to be formed in this section by several prominent Negro business men, among whom is Joseph Jennings of this city; one of the leading sport promoters of Georgia. The league proposes to include seven cities of this state and one in South Carolina, they being Savannah, Charleston, Augusta, Macon, Albany, Thomasville, Wavercross and Brunswick, with the local interests in charge of Mr. Jennings. The general price of admission to the rue which bega at 2:30 will be 50 cents; parking space free. NEW CASKET COMPANY FORMED Chicago, Ill., Dec 19—(Associated Negro Press)—Newer conceptions of economy have brought into being the Perfidnid Casket Company of Chicago. It is the plan of the promoters to have a meeting here on the second Saturday in January at which time much interesting information concerning the league will be given out. SAVE FOR THE RAINY DAY!

BRUNBAR MAS CLUB and $1.00 meet next Xmas MASONIC NEWS MASONIC NEWS THE DIFFERENT VIEWPOINT Somethody said, the other day, that Masonry was a thing for young men to play with and old men to enjoy. There is some truth in this statement. The younger members of the Fraternity, attracted by the glamour of the ritual and the opportunity to discipline their minds and become expert in Lodge gymnastics, very naturally find an interest in the Fraternity and very often devote themselves zealously to the mastery of the externals, but to the older member of the society, who has spent years in his affiliations, the former gymnastics leo merely a passing interest and to think something which satisfies his higher ideals. This his longing for contentment of mind and companionship. It is sometimes almost pathetic to attend a Lodge meeting and notice the number of old men who are present and who give reverent attention to everything that is said and done and who go home with souls satisfied. There is no question in the world but that to the man well advanced in life, Freemasonry is a wonderful factor in contributing to his happiness in his declining years and for this reason every Masonic Lodge ought to be thoughtful of its older members and do what they can contribute to their comfort and pleasure. These men do not see, in the Fraternity, the same things that the younger and less thoughtful see. To these older men Masonry has become a part of their lives and they regard it as serious and of far real value in Illinois. Precaution. . . . HOW TO INCREASE INTEREST No barge alums officers have caught a vision of the opportunity for benefient service that Masonry offers will suffer from the indulgence of its own bership. Let the absent brother be placed on a sick committee with instructions to visit a given home and report at the next meeting. Canvas him for a subscription to a benevolent fund, and he will discover the value of a barge to the community and to him self. Lift the lodge out of his rut, place it on a higher plane—the plane of service to its fellow citizens, to the state and to the world. Endow a ward in a hospital, give concerts at the Children's home, furnish a Christmas feast for newborns, form a study club, build a Mesonis Temple—in short, undertake that form of service your community requires, and every member of your judge who has not blood in his veins will experience a thrill of pride in his association with such a body of men; his personal interest and attendance are assured.—Selected. --- 1 THE GOOD MASTER The Master of a Locke should be a pattern for initiation by the brethren, the one for the illumination of the Locke, the custodian of its work, the equivalent of a gentleman.

This has always been so, but with the advent of strong men into the fold of newspaper workers the power of the race press to make itelf felt has become more and more significant. A veteran of the game who has not only kept pace but is in the forefront with the progress of journalism as it is today is Nalum Daniel Brascher editor-in-chief of the Associated Negro Press the largest and first organization of its kind in the world. As representative Mr. Brascher is at present the only accredited race correspondent covering the conference on limitation of armament here As an indication of the valuable service which Mr. Brascher has rendered to the press and to the general propagation of the true spirit of the conference, the editor-in-chief was the recipient of the marked token of esteem from President Harding during last week. Mr. Harding presented him with a large photograph of himself, upon which were inscribed the significant words, "With fraternal greetings of the Fourth Estate to the Negro Press." This with the recognition accorded Gilpin constitutes a gracious consideration for the stage and the press, our two most advanced outposts.

CANTALOUPES OF FINEST QUALITY Early Picking Is Reason Given for Melons-Reaching Market in Inferior Condition. Load immediately. In Iced Refrigerator Cars and Furnish Ample Ventilation—Floor Racks Are Also Recommended. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Fully 10 per cent of the cantaloupes produced in the western states reach the consumer so green that they are practically worthless for food. If only 1 per cent were picked and shipped unripe it would mean transporting and marketing more than 40,000 crates, for more than 20,000 carloads—or four-fifths of the production of the United States—are harvested in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and California, and shipped on a six to twelve-day journey to middle western and eastern markets. During three recent shipping seasons specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture conducted investigations in the western producing sections and chief eastern consuming centers. In order to determine the most satisfactory methods of handling cantaloupes for long-distance shipments, it was found that too early picking was one of the chief reasons why melons reached the market in an inferior, tasteless condition. When to Pick Melons. Green melons have a depressing effect on both demand and prices. While it is necessary that they be picked before they are entirely ripe, in order to provide the essential keeping qualities in transit, they may be picked at a stage of maturity that will afford good flavor as well as keeping quality when they reach consumers, cantaloupes should be picked just after they will slip cleanly from the stem; that is, at the full-slip stage of maturity. If properly handled and promptly loaded they will carry in satisfactory condition, even to long-distance markets. Allowance must be made, however, for a certain amount of rough Unwrapped Melons Coil Quickly, Thus Preventing Mold. handling and for some delay in transit. As a general rule, therefore, cantaloupes should be picked just before they reach the full-slip stage. Such melons possess not only the desirable cutting quality, but also the necessary carrying quality. The keeping and carrying qualities of cantaloupes are directly dependent on the care overexercised to prevent mechanical injuries in harvesting and preparation for shipment. Use Care in Packing. During the operation of packing, melons should be placed carefully in the crates, and not dropped or tossed into place, as is frequently done. Injury caused by squeezing can be prevented. If packers are careful not to force in over-sized melons when finishing the crates. The reduction of serious market losses from overripe and decayed melons is dependent to a large extent upon the promptness with which they are placed under refrigeration. They should be loaded immediately in lead refrigerator cars, and, while being lauled from packing shed to the car loading platform, should be covered to protect them from the sun. Cantaloupes should preferably not be wrapped. They do not refrigerate so well in transit nor do they reach the consumer in so good condition as unwrapped melons. Loading different types of packages may obstruct air circulation and thus seriously retard refrigeration. In cars equipped with these racks, as well as basket bunkers, salt may be effectively employed to hasten refrigeration. The ability of refrigerator cars to cool melon shipments quickly and to maintain desirable temperatures in transit depends directly upon proper bunker and bulkhead construction, and upon the quantity and quality of the insulating, material used.

Agricultural Colleges, as provided for by the Smith-Lever Act. As a result of the extension work, Negro farmers are growing more profitable crops, acquiring good live stock, starting orchards and pastures, and building better homes. While Negro farm women through special training in housekeeping, food preparation, the making and care of clothing, nursing the sick, improving sanitary conditions, and beautifying their surroundings, are materially improving conditions in their homes. Since the beginning of extension work in 1904 southern Negroes have participated to a large degree in the benefits resulting from the activities of white demonstration agents supplemented later by the agents of their own race. In fact, before any Negro agents were appointed it was conservatively estimated that 5 per cent of the white agents' time in sections quickly settled by Negroes was occupied in giving direct aid to Negro farmers. Under the direction of white county agents these farmers proved to be good demonstrators, and under capable Negro agents have maintained their standard. Work Started in 1905 The first Negro agent to carry on extension work among farmers of his own race was appolated in 1905, following a conference between representatives of the Department of Agri culture and Booker T. Washington, then principal of Tuskegee Institute in 13 years the force of Negro extension workers has grown from 7 agents employed at a cost of $4,181 in 1908, to 221 agents employed at a cost of $802,798 in 1921. Of these 157 are men and 67 women. Negro extension work is organized in 11 Southern States, with a Negro State leader, usually designated as district agent, in charge of the work. In 4 other States 2 or more agents are employed, but no definite States organization has been perfected. The work in all States is under the general supervision of the white administrative forces. Two Negro field agents employed directly by the department are assigned to the duty of cooperating with the State directors of extension and other supervising agents in perfecting extension work among Negroes and in assisting Negro agents to secure greater uniformity and efficiency in extension activities. The 157 men agents reporting from 15 States in 1920 listed 4,291 Negro farmers with 160,000 acres of corn, which as a result of the practice of extension methods, yielded almost twice as much per acre as the corn on adjoining fields worked under ordinary methods. A total of 17,361 Negro farmers with 52,471 acres of cotton Lad an average yield of 500 pounds more seed cotton per acre than was secured from surrounding farms. More than 50 per cent of the Negro farmers among whom extension work has been done reported having enough grain and forage to run their farms which is a remarkable showing as compared with the situation a few years ago. As a result of extension work, Negro farmers in 1920 introduced pure bred live stock as follows: 377 horses, 1,658 dairy cattle, 149 beef cattle, 2,848 hogs, and 700 sheep. There were 68,199 cattle dipped, and 134,799 lead of live stock were treated for diseases and pests. A total of 329 farmers' clubs were organized among Negroes, with a membership of 16,960. Improving Home Conditions As a result of work among Negro women and girls, living conditions in the home were much improved through demonstrations in the preparation of food, in the selection and making of clothing, in equipping the home with sanitary conveniences, and in improving home surroundings. One of the most helpful features, perhaps, has been the assistance and advice given in the care of children and in sickness of all Minds. Farm makers' clubs for Negro boys have been organized in all the Southern States. A total of 6,104 club members grew crops in 1920, the market value of the products of those reporting being $236,000, and 18,266 grew live stock the market value of which was $153,000. The outlook for continued and substantial growth of extension work among Negroes is promising. Negro agents for the msot part are well trained. Have the right viewpoint, and are earnest, conscientious workers rendering valuable service. Without question the further development of this work on its present sound basis will continue to have a most beneficial influence on the farm life of this great body of citizens.
