SEGREGATION OF DAYTON
SCHOOL CHILDREN FOUGHT
DAYTON, O.; Jan. 28.—A suit has been filed in the common pleas court here for a writ of manumus to prevent the Dayton board of education from segregating colored children in the public schools. The petition was filed by Earl Reese, 227. Norwood avenue, who declared his two children were unlawfully placed in a building now used exclusively for Negroes. The Black Laws of Ohio which legalized separate or "lim" school beds, were supposed to have been done away with in 1887, when Bishop B. W. Arnett (deceased) of the A. M. E. church, secured the passage of the Hly-Arnett bill. However, there are over 600 race children segregated in the Dayton schools at the present time.
DURHAM, N. C., Jan. 27—One of the finest hospitals for the accommodation of colored people in the Bouth has been formally opened here. The new building, which takes the place of one destroyed by fire, several mouths ago, is a beautiful fire-proof structure, having built of the latest仰护 material for caring for the sick. It will be known as the New Lincoln Hospital.

ATTORNEY VAUGHN WOMAN WINS ATTRACTS LARGE DAMAGE SUIT CROWDS ON TOUR IN MISSISSIPPI
"The Negro's Contribution To Civilization" Is Subject Demanding Unusual Attention, Among Popular Audiences.
Persons Interested In Ancient History Of The Race Are Especially Attracted
Special to St. Louis Argus.
TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 23. *Attorney George L. Vaughn, of St. Louis, Mo.* delivered a lecture here last night at the St. John's A. M. E. Church before an enthusiastic and appreciative audience. His subject was "The Negro's Contribution to Civilization." Mr. Vaughn showed that the Cushites, comprising Babybans, and Persians, the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Pelastians, Phoenicians, Hittites and a large number of other peoples formed one large ethnic family of Negroes and that from them, religion, art and the sciences, including astronomy, geometry, chemistry, medicine, the first writing, navigation, the epic poem, fable, fairy story, the institution of knighthood, the mortgage and deed of trust, promissory note, the commercial paper and many of the best which the world has, were given to the world by this ethnic group. He quoted such authorities as Dr. Rudolph Virchon, Froehunck, Petrie, Rogers, Winchell, Volney, Rollinson, Herodius and Sappho. He then made application of these historic facts to the traits of character, as well as the aptitude now displayed by the Negro in his artistic, spiritual and economic life and throw much light on many of the puzzling questions of today. At the close of his address he was highly complimented by citizens of Topeka.
Speaks at Kansas Vocational College
Upon arrival in Topeka, Mr. Vaighn was met by a committee of business and professional men head-
wardly, and offered by the University of St. Louis and another in the Kansas Vocational College where
he addressed the students and faculty on Negro history, taking for his subject, "Antar," the Arabian Negro
Post and General," whose poems, written in letters of gold, are hung in the Kaaba, the sacred temple at Mecca. At the close of this address
Mr. Vaighn was compelled to regard the Negro as a vigorous plant which he had been a singer.
He was given a lunch by a number of the leading gentlemen of the city, including Pres. Bridgeforth,
Dr. Jones, Pref. Freeman, of the faculty of the Vocational College and Attorneys Reynolds, Thomas, Guy,
Bradshaw, Scott, Vandney, Under-taker Goodwin and Mr. Watkings.
Mr. Vaighn was carried through the school and shown a vigorous plant which is being used by President Bridgeforth and his faculty for the purpose of teaching vocational training, including shops, bakery,
laundry, the hospital, which is under the charge of Dr. Jones, and the departments of agriculture, music, and dressmaking.
On the following day, Attorney Waugh visited the public schools and delivered addresses in the object of Negro History in America to classes in "history" at two of the schools.
The consensus of opinion here is that the lecture delivered by Mr. Vaughn is the most forceful and informing address which the citizens of Topeka have heard in many a day, in fact, no other speaker is addressing the public along the particular Mr. Vaughn talks. Already plans on him was to have him make a return engagement, Mr. Vaughn delivered, his lecture at St Joseph, Missouri, Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska, this week and is expected to return to St Louis about the first of February.

Federal Judge At Jackson Rules That Nuisance From Oil Mill Was Injurious To Life And Health Of Mrs. Regland And Niece
JACKSON, Mish., Jan. 23 — A little more than a year ago, Mrs. Mary Ireland and her niece, Mildred Ross who reside at 331 W. Monument St., Jackson, Miss., just across the street in front of the Buckeye Cotton Oil Mill, fitted in the Federal Court in this City, charging that the dust and dirt from this mill had been large quantities for a long time, causing them to inhale large quantities of dust, dirt and lint from this mill and forcing them to have to keep their doors closed and windows down for long periods of time, causing them as a result, much pain and suffering, the impairment of their health and charging that Mildred's development had been greatly affected and because of these conditions, the plaintiff asked that the operation of this mill be declared a nuisance and that the mill be enjoined from operation. They further asked that they be allowed damages for the pain, suffering, inconveniences and impairment of health, to which they had been subjected. About a year ago a preliminary injunction was granted restraining the operation to allow it to apply to permit the escape of lint or dust over Mrs. Razland's premises.
The case finally came on to be heard recently on its merits, on the question of damages, and as to whether or not the preliminary injunction should be made permanent or dissolved, and after a most stubborn contest on both sides, for three weeks or more, the Court finally awarded Mrs. England sixteen hundred and fifty dollars damages to her health and five thousand dollars damages to her niece, Mildred Ross, and enjoined the mill from further action, until they can so operate as not to pollute any appreciable amount of dust or line they be blown from the mill over on Mrs. Rogland's premises.
The record showed that Mrs. Rogland could recover damages for injuries incurred since 1921, only, in view of the fact that she had already recovered damages before from this company prior to 1921, because of this condition.
Watkins, Watkins and Eagar represented the Buckeye Cotton Oil Co.; S. D. Redmond alone represented Mrs. Rogland and her little niece, Mildred.
It will also be recalled that on a previous occasion a Delinting Plant in Jackson, Miss, and threw large quantities of dust into the homes of those living it and in other ways maintained a most unsuitable condition in the neighborhood and that Attorney Redmond went into court and enjoined their operation in that neighborhood, and the owners were forced to dismantle their plant and move it out of the city.

UNREST STILL AMONG NEGROES IN THE STATE
UNREST STILL AMONG NEGROES IN THE STATE
Their Rights To Full Citizenship Will Be Presented In The Form Of A Memorial By Dr. Ray Of Kansas City, Who Is Member Of Legislature.
E. W. Baker, Correspondent
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Jan. 22—Since the election of Governor Baker, there has existed unrest among the dependable Negroes of the state. This has been explained by the fact that the Negroes have many of the rights in Missouri which are accorded to members of the race in other states of the union. More than a quarter of a century ago, colored jurors, grand and petit, state and federal, were drawn at every session of the district and United States courts. Today, 165 Negro is ever drawn upon these juries—a brazen violation of their rights as citizens. In order that the status of the state may be properly represented, the warriors kinds have been created members thereof appointed by the Governor. But, upon these commissions no Negro has ever been called to serve. It is a well known fact that the Negro public school system of the state, outside of the larger cities, is today in us poor condition as those of northern England so beautifully portrayed in Dickens' "Nicholas Michaels." The Negro vote of the State of Missouri is absolutely the balance of power. The party can hope to triumph at the polls without the major portion of this vote.
For the purpose of stressing this idea, a meeting is to be held in Jefferson City in the earlier part of February by representative Negroes and these facts will be broadened ther out the state and nation. Mr. J. Sill Harris is the leading spirit in pushing forward this measure. A memorial is to be drawn at this meeting and presented to the Missouri General Assembly, now in session, urging them to take up these matters. This memorial will be offered by Dr. Richard Ray, representative from Kansas City, Dr. Hay is leading the light for the welfare of the Negroes.
Organization of the Citizens' Council was perfected at Tabernacle Baptist church last. Monday afternoon when the committees appointed at a previous meeting reported on their work.

The next meeting will be held Monday night, Feb. 2, at Tabernacle Baptist church.
On Friday evening, Feb. 13, there will be a mass meeting at the First Baptist church in commemoration of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, the emancipator, and Frederick Douglass, the abolitionist. An appropriate program has been arranged, the details of which will be announced in the Argus next week.
60.000 JAPANESE MOVING TO SETTLE IN ARKANSAS
MEMPHIS. Jenn. Jan. 27. What is perhaps the biggest Immigration movement the country has witnessed in a long time began several days ago, when two Japanese families settled upon the rich portion of Arkansas along the Frisco railroad between Marion and Joyner. It was the first move in the plans of the Japanese incorporated under the name Delta Implement to buy several thousand acres of land colonize it with some 60,000 Japanese. The land on which the two families have settled is part of a tract of 400 acres purchased some time ago by the Delta Improvement Company from J.W. Brinkley of Memphis. The particular tract brought a price of about $100 per acre. It is reported that Dean Adams, Memphis realtor, and the Delta Implement Company are considering other deals in the purchase plans which will remain a per cent, acquired by the company into the thousands. The Japanese who will settle in the colony, will be from California. Two railroad companies are now trying to secure contracts for the transportation of these people to Arkansas.

Our Colored Citizens
"West Virginia has continued to provide charitable opportunities for the colored people who live in black borders. We stand at the top of the list among those states south of the Mason and Dixon line in providing educational opportunities and our achievement is reflected in the statistical fact that the rate of litterage among Negroes is lower in West Virginia than in any other of the mentioned group of states. We have provided a number of charitable institutions for colored people in recent years and with efficiency by citizens of that region. The Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics, established in 1921, has been doing an effective work in ascertaining real conditions existing among the colored people and it has been successful in stimulating thrift and industry among the Negroes. It has been a real aid in co-operating to improve conditions with the result that the colored people in Virginia feels that he has political and economic equality."

It is but frank to acknowledge that our most effective message have come from the local speaker. While Dr. Crowe is of St. Louis, perhaps many of our pet bear bliss, then may we not "spill charms of the author."

on the side of the tenants at a recent hearing, testified in regard to the rent conditions in the alleyes. In his letter to Senator Baldwin he states that he does not want the impression felt that rental conditions are bad only in the alleyes.
He states that he has a congregation of approximately 1,600 and that he has received from his people many complaints of increases in rents ranging from 25 to 75 per cent, with the alternative of moving out. Dr. Waldron states that he retrains from mentioning names, especially at this time, as the tenants fear that publication of their names might militate against them.
This fear, Dr. Waldron declares, is the reason why there has been no rigorous protest from the colored people.
**Points Out Many Restrictions**
He points out that Negroes are restricted to certain sections of the city and to interior houses, for which a charge of 10 to 25 per cent more is charged than to white people occupying similar houses.
During the last two or three months many complaints have been received of the increase in room rent, which increases are brought about by the increase in rent paid by the lessee of the house, he says. Dr. Walden states that conditions were always oppressive on colored people, and that even during the functioning of the Rent Commission the colored people suffered more than other classes. Rev. Walden indicates to Scherator Ball that if the people of the District of Columbia could make the law themselves conditions would be remedied, but not that time, Congress should take action.
French Professor Sees Race War In The United States
Associated Negra Press
Paris, France. Jan. 25.—In a paper recently read before the French Academy on "The Nightmare of the Colored Races in the United States"
Professor Maurice Muret predicts future race clashes in the United States. The prediction is based upon observations made in America during a recent visit.
Professor Muret is deeply impressed by manifolds he has cans concerning the future of the white race. The darker must not be taken too densely, he thinks North America "the advance seedling of Western civilization in Europe."

awakening Asia, he points out. She is well placed to watch the national movements of which the Far East is now the centre. Perhaps, he says, she is right to fear a collision. The white races yesterday had not the slightest doubt of their own superiority, the legitimacy of their world rule and the eternal duration of that supreme power. Professor Muret is vividly impressed by the doubles of this dogma manifested in many places in the United States—the press, conversations with politicisms and in books—where it is highly discussed. He says there are many Americans who see with tragic foreboding the invasion of the Northern States of the Union by the Negro population previously confined to the, Southern States. Conquest of power in Cen- tury South and American States by Indians and African empires of the white race also causes deep concern, and there is fear of a Japanese Mexican combination, he says.
Professor Muret finds a certain amount of confirmation in the present day developments of theories contained in a book published in America before the war by Lothrö-Stadard, "The Rising Tide of Color." The twentieth century, thinks Professor Muret, will be a century of struggles of races for liberation, perhaps for world power hegemony. Bolshevism encourages such struggles with all forces. It would be desirable conclude Professor, that the white races should be ancient hates and antagonism between populations of similar race, and should quite in a front against possible assults of colored races.
If a man loves a woman he will give encouragement for her beauty but if he hates her he will not.

BOB RUSSELL'S COMPANY
RETURNS TO THE BOOKER
.WASHINGTON NEXT WEEK
Bob Russell's Company will play a return engagement at the Booker Washington Theatre next week beginning Monday. Mr. Russell and his aggregation of talented performers won the plaudits of the theatre-goers during their stay here last week. Their show was undeniably the best that has been seen on the B. W. stage in years. Packed houses were the result.
Next week, Mr. Russell will present an entirely different production. There will be plenty of new songs, new dances and new features by the same personnel of players; but an unusual feature will be a comedy drama entitled, "Twenty Minutes In Hell." Regardless of its comedy, it carries a thrill and the hereafter is vividly displayed, with scenic and electrical effects.
CHINATOWN SHOW AT BOOKER
WASHINGTON THIS WEEK
Joe Clark's Joy Makers are presenting a typical Chinatown play at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. The action is centered on the dope evil, and in the effort to run down the ring leader of the truffle in opium there is continuous excitement, as well as much comedy in the hands of John LaRue as "The Hota-Mala Man." The principal characters are "Tim Murphy," the opium king, played by Joe Clark; "Wim Lung," the den' keeper, by Gee Allen; "Hoppy," who proves to be a secret servant operator, by Miss LaRue; a police officer, ledged by Murphy, characterized by Aaron Pace; Rise a hop head who returns, Dolph Allen; and "Mary" one of Murphy's friends, Mary Clark. La Rue as "Snatch," turns out to be a good assistant to "Dopey," in running down the criminals and the point is rained with fatal results.
The interior and exterior scenes are all of Chinese character and the last act is set in Oriental brilliance. There are a number of Chinese songs and dances as well as the American variety. Among others in the show are Isabelle Miller, Leraine Gillespie, Theodore O'Dell angs Jackie Mabley, a female comedienne with a black face specialty that makes a tremendous hit. The entire show is not only a novelty but highly entertaining.
MUSICAL REVUE AT LIBERTY
NEXT WEEK
The Liberty Theatre will offer a
Musical Comedy Revue next week
beginning Sunday. The picture feature
will be Wen. Desmond in "Ridin'
Pretty." The Liberty program is
charged every Sunday and consists

Feature Pictures. Two shows are
given each night at 7 and 9. The
Sunday show is continuous from 1 p.

There is a brass band on the stage, a symphony orchestra in the pit, the brass band has its jingling drum major and the orchestra has its Embie Blake. There is a thrilling derby race scene between thoroughbreds hidden by famed jockeys. This race is made possible by the use of the mechanism used in the Bee Hue chariot race. The lining Baker, the St. Louis seasonal dancer, who was a riot in Shuffle Along, is with the show. Mrs Baker is still in her teen-age as pliable as a rubber band and is referred to as a brite edition of Charlotte Greenwood.

"Vanity's Price" will be the Venus Theatre special on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Agna Q. Nissim is the star. The story deals with the question of whether she can regain her youth, and the difficulty beset her when her overgrowning sex attraction is restored to her. The scene between the actress, her lover, and her son are replete with a tremendous emotionalism which transcends anything seen on the silk sheet this season, many critics agree.
Thirty-five policemen including a captain and two sergeants, after roping off the sidewalks, around the building, rushed up its steep stairs, broke in the door and corrupted some 789 persons. Alack of evidence allowed the police to take only seven into custody, who pleaded not guilty. Nearly 90 per cent of the frequencies of the club are white, colored patronage having been visibly diminished owing to its great demand by the whites. It was alleged that pre-Virginia beverages were found.
"The Plunderer" will be shown on Wednesday, Frank Mayo has the principal role. The story deals with a romance of the old mining days and is replete with inadvertents of intrigue and dust action. A flooded mine, realistic fights and similar actions are said to combine to make every foot of the film twelve inches of celluloid excitement.
Publisher Has Anniversary
Associated Negro Press.
NEW YORK. N. Y. Jan. 21. —The first issue of the New Year of the indianapolis Freeman marked the beginning of the thirty-eighth year of the Race Journal that was first to recognize to the amusement world a publication established on New Year's day 1881 by a man then well advanced in years for George L. Knox was born in 1841. At the time his paper was started and for many years after he was the political dominator of his group in the state of Indiana and was a fighter figure wherever the famed Marion was seen at national conventions. His hair then as now distinguished his hair even when in the company of other physically large figures.
"The Clean Heart" will be presented on Thursday and Friday; and a double feature with: Tom Mix in "Pals in Blue," and "Foolish Parents" will be presented next Saturday, February 7.
THE ROOSEVELT
The Roosevelt program for the week includes: Three Vaudeville acts and an 8 part feature "Another Scandal" on Saturday, Harry Caye in "Hearing Ralls," also vaudeville on Sunday; "Wine of Youth," on Monday and Tuesday; Milton Sills in "Legally Dead" Wednesday; Buck Jones in "Hells Hole," and amateur vaudeville on Thursday; "Rabbitt" and vaudeville on Friday; and Jackie Coogan in "Little Robinson Crusoe" next Saturday, February 2.
It was in 1890 that he installed J. Harry Jackson on the staff to do show news. It was an innovation in Race journalism. Jackson has long since gone to his reward, but his more than twenty papers of the Race theatrical departments and all of more than two hundred carry some amusement news; and the Negro performer is accorded his share of attention in the general press.

American Legion Notes
By EMMETT BROWN
DISABLED VETERANS
A problem that will be, a life long study, confronts . many disabled World. War Veterans, especially so to the colored disabled veterans in District No. 9, U. S. Veterans Bureau, St. Louis, Mo.
The situation is extremely serious, in that from the many complaints and appeals from these men, who have reason to believe that, they have been treated unfairly in the way of receiving medical attention and hospital care, as well as receiving consideration for compensation' or Vocational Training.
Many of these men are totally disabled, others are partially so, and are unable to earn a living for themselves, and believing that some of the same interest will be shown these men now as was shown them in the days of slavery, when they led to believe that their service to the Constitution's cause was appreciated.
The Calvin Hyde Post is bringing one matter up for attention on I am appeal for support and assistance will be made to all public spaces, all citizens to come to the rescue of an organization which has fought and will continue to fight for the welfare of disabled buddies and their dependents.
A canvas of the city will be made the results of which will appear in the next issue.
Paris
At the 75th National Convention of the American Legion which meets in Omaha, Nebraska, from October 7 to 9, 1925, a Special Committee which has been appointed by the National Commander will report to the Convention on the practicability of holding the 95th National Convention of the American Legion (1927) in Paris, France, which is the highplace of the American Legion. Paris lies close to the seaside of France, and lies close to the seaside of the A.E.F. Paris is claimed by many to be the South of Civilization, vibrant with a history that appurts the Legions of Caesar, and the conquering sweep of Charlemagne. Those who have the opportunity to make the trip are assured the time of their lives.
ADJUSTMENT ACT MAKES VETS' BONUS DUE IN 1945
ADJUSTMENT ACT MAKES VETS' BONUS DUE IN 1945
United States, Army veterans who were sufficiently interested and persuading to fill out the application forms issued under the Advised Compensation Act are now receiving their adjusted service certificate. The first impression of the veteran upon examining his 'certificate' is one of Surprise and infidelity at the unexpectedly large amount of money which it assures him. The next moment, however, his gratification may be charged to dismay as he observes that the sum will not be paid much less, or twenty years from the date of issuance. The certificate has a loan value but that also is not applicable until after two years, and then in very moderate amount at first.
The process for obtaining a loan is found to be simple and easy, entailing merely giving the lending bank a promissory note and appointing the certificate as security. The loan value increases gradually and arbitrarily, after the second year, much more rapidly than by meticulous interest accretion, until toward the end of the twenty-year period it approximates the maximum or maturity value. Difficult in the way of assigning his certis, ate thus soon to be in the owner's interest.
The Government, indeed, has exercised its broadest insight in surrounding its agencies with such provisions, under the terms of the act, as will discourage the recipients from trading off their certificates and spending the proceeds, perhaps unwisely. By the graduated scale of value the certificate is made valuable to the first, except as briefly be held for future realization. The rate of increase in compensation that the certificate represents more than merely a moderate basic sum plus cumulative interest over a long period. If calculated as a compound interest proportion, at 6 per cent, the basic value would beobtained if the specified matur
initial loan value in the third year. At 1.41 per cent which would be a fairer rate in view of its security, the amount would be still larger. Thus the actual cash bonus undertaken to be paid out of the National Treasury is a substantial one. But the most beneficial feature of the loan is the deferred realization of the maximum loan and the grants most of them coming shall have reached a more advanced age. --- Christian, Science Monthly

MAYFIELD CLEARED AS TEXAS SENATOR
Associated Negro Press
Washington, D. C., Jan. 28. Thrush the action of the senate sub-committee on privileges and elections, Earle B. Meyfield, elected to the United States senate from Texas in 1922, has been cleared of charges of using 100 million money to influence his election and of coercing intimidation of those who did not want to support him. His seat was ceded by Geo. E. B. Peddy, his Republican opponent. The charge was made by counsel for Peddy that the senate committee studiously avoided testimony relative to the activity of the klan in the Texas election and charged that the klan had been deemed that to permit the klan issues, he hard would hurt - them politically. The committee defended itself by declaring that Meyfield, not the klan, was on trial, and that evidence against the klan was irrelevant.

A rose that is sweetest and fairest.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 28.—The annual session of the National Race Congress will be held a week in March according to an announcement made last Friday at a meeting of the executive committee, Rev. W. H. H. Jernigan, president of the organization, presided.
The congress will open when the annual sermon will be preached on the evening of March 3. The business sessions will follow the seremony allowing one day for adjournment of the inauguration of President Coolidge. A change in the date, May 1, was made in instance of leaders in the States, who thought it appropriate to hold the session during the week of the inauguration. The theme, to be discussed during the sessions will be "The Pilot and Happiness."

NEVEL H. THOMAS HEADS WASHINGTON N. A. A. C. P.
Preston News Service.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 25.
Prof. Nevel H. Thomas, teacher of history in the Dunbar High School, was elected president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, last Monday night at the annual meeting in the Y. M. C. A.
Prof. Thomas succeeds Rev. Dr. Archibald H. Grimke, who has hell the office for 12 years, but who, after a half century of public life, at the age of 76, has retired. The new elected president is regarded as the most protégé of the association in the country.
The local office has requested Sensor Phipps to give Superintendent of Public Schools F. W. Ballon, and Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson, opportunity to present certain phases of the building program outside of the approved items of the budget at the hearings before Congress which began last Wednesday.
COOLIDGE TAKES STAND ON THE KU KLUX KLAN
Associated Negro Press.
Washington D. C., Jan. 23—No member of the Ku Klux Klan is to be appointed to a federal position if President Coolidge knows anything about it. This is the inference taken if connection with the appointment of Robert C. Baltzell to a federal judgship.
Baltzell was nominated by Senator James Watson of Indiana. When it was learned that his name had been given to the President, word was sent here that Baltzell was a member of the klan. The president immediately directed the attorney general to have the prospective judge come to this city where he is reported to have been questioned regarding his klan affiliations. When he had conceived Mr. Coolidge that he was not conceived by the organization, his name was sent to the city.
This step of the President is the answer to the question as to how he stood on the headed organization during the recent campaign. Those on the inside declare, now, as formerly that a klanman hasn't got a chance.

Yes, Auntie, that is true. I recall now, having gone with a friend "to purchase a pair of gloves at Pious-Bars," and she was not permitted to fit these gloves because of her color, and I have been told by others that there are other large stores of which the same is true.
That is just my point, Mabel. What should we go and give our money to people, who go out of their way to show us by their every nelion that we are not wanted, and neither is our money. Addison's store has made a little our patronage. They demonstrated by their ad in our paper that they want our patronage and that time we are given our courtesies, that is given to others elsewhere, but is so often denied us. Let our pride and self-respect keep us away from the stores where we are not treated courteously, and since we must go to them let us go where we have been invited.
Good bye, Mabel.

Quite sure, Mabel, because I saw the aid in the St. Louis Argus, and I have been told you will find real bargains.
Auntie, I can not understand why you mention this particular store, when you have so often spoken of race patronage.
That is true, dearle, and I speak of and urge it still. Remember, the, we have no stores of this sort among us, and in as much as we spend thousands of dollars. In the downtown stores, my argument is that we should spend it where our patronage is

NEGRO EDUCATIONIN VA. IS RAPIDLY INCREASING
PART TWO
There Are Thirty-One County Training Schools. The Jeanes Fund And Rosenwald Schools Doing Much For The Race.
By Wm. Anthony Aery
HAMPTON, Va., Jun. 26.—W. D. Gresham of Richmond, State Supervisor of Negro Education, spoke at a general assembly of Hampton Institute workers and students, which was held in Ogden Hall, on "Some Problems of Negro education in Virginia." In 1925, according to Mr. Ogden, Virginia had approximately 225,000 colored children of school age (7 to 29 years). Of his number there were enrolled in the public schools last year 157,413. The average attendance was 110,358; about 70 per cent in Virginia, the 157,413 colored teachers, of whom 3100 two- and only 472 are men. In Virginia there are 1945 school buildings for colored children, with 3514 rooms and an average of 44 pupils per room.
There are still in Virginia, 1272 one teacher colored schools and 3561 two teacher schools. The movement is toward consolidating these small schools and building 3, 4, 5 and 6 room schools. The average length of term in small colored schools is 144 days or 7.15 months. There are no counties with a shorter term than 5 months, and there are only 2 counties in the State where the term is in five months.
County Training Schools
During the present school year there are in Virginia for colored boys and girls 31 county training schools, with 19 teachers. Eight of these schools have a term of 9 months; one has a term of 10 months; and 22 have term of 12 months each. The enrollment in these schools is 6854 (3001 boys and 3444 girls). While these schools do not yet rank as high schools, there is one county training school, which is about to qualify as an necertified four-year high school. This is the Virginia Randolph School," in Hirschfield County, which is a few miles out of Richmond. One of the county training schools is a junior high school. It is located at Harrisonburg in Rockingham County. One of the county training schools is as far white high schools, and are certificates for colored teachers, the same as for white. In the county training schools there are above the seventh grade, 989 pupils, 729 girls and 200 boys.
**Work of Jeunes Teachers**
In Virginia there are at work 58 Jeunes industrial supervising teachers (4 men and 14 women). These teachers receive $100 per year. The income for salaries follows: from State funds, $17,000; Jeunes Fund, $10,250 and local funds, $13,050. These men and women go in and out among the colored homes and schools and help in every possible way to improve community life.
220 Rosenwald Schools
Julius Rosenwald, a. Chicago millemiare, during the recent years has given about $2,500,000 for the building of rural colored schools throughout the 14 Southern States. This year $40,000 are being spent in Virginia for this type of school. Up to January 1 Mr. Rosenwald had helped to build 2000 schools for colored children. North Carolina ranks first with Virginia for rural ranks, fifth with 220 schools. This years program in Virginia calls for about 45 schools. The Rosenwald schools in Virginia which have cost over $850,000 have beeped paid for as follows: colored people have, given $25,240 or 27 per cent; Rosenwald Fund $141,700 or 10 per cent; the white people, $15,808, a life over 1 per cent; and local funds, $400,830 or 60 per cent. $400,830 or 61 per cent attended the four Virginia summer schools, including Hampton Institution.
Mr. Gresham ordained the following educational needs for Negroes; better school facilities, longer terms, better buildings, more high schools, another State normal school, and, above everything else, more and better teachers
Mr. Gresham said that there were five needs of the colored people of Virginia: more intelligent and consecrated leadership; more faith and trust in one another; greater recognition of the true value of team work; an understanding and use of the advantages which they treat; and an understanding of the true value of education.
"What we all need, white and colored alike," said Mr. Gresham, "is a greater interest in one another. We all need a little more charity. We should not judge a whole race by the acts of a few individuals. There are good people and there are good colored people and there are good colored light and let it shine into the dark places where there is ignorance and gloom and sorrow."
Rosewall Schools
Through the re-operation of the
Juline Rosenwald Fund, 112 buildings
for Negro school children have been
completed during the present year.
The Fund has approved 281 additional
buildings to be completed before June
30. According to Francis W. Shepardson, secretary and acting director of the Julina Rosenwald Fund, it looks as though the 1923-24 record of 485 Rosenwald schools will be broken during the present school year.
A report on 2005 buildings shows that North Carolina recently led having 447; Mississippi. 304; Alabama. 203; Louisiana. 203; Virginia. 212; Tennessee. 203; South Carolina. 300.
From 2005 schools engaged downward.
of $600 and a pupil-capacity of 287,820.
The total cost amounted to $10,445-
543. Toward this total cost there was
given from public—funds: $5,082,321;
from Negroes, $2,311,917; from Roswald-
Fund, $1,907,177; and from the
white people, $12,128.

Who was Soothsongh? G. L. F.
Pensacola, Fla.
Sophisisla, was the daughter of Hostribal of Hamamel. She was reared to hate Rome. She was influenced to Mushulsa, king of the Numidians, but was given by her father to S菲us. S菲us insisted that this marriage be annulled; but the Numidian sent her a bowl of poison, which she drank without hesitation. She has been the subject of many dramas in French, Italian and English.
What city or town in the F. S. A. has the Negro made the greatest relative progress in industry, commerce and profession? T. C. A. Chichell, III. This question can hardly be answered of hand. It would require considerable study and the data for such study is not to be held.
Who was Proster John and when did he死?—4. M. L. Cunningham, Neb. Proster John is a character about which a great deal of fiction and mystery has been woven. He was said to have been a king of Ethiopia and richest than all the monarchs of the world. One legend claims him to have been the son of the Queen of Sibba abomina, another claims the name refers to the king of Ethiopia while still mother chasing he was the ruler of the Magi or wise men. During the Middle Age much was sold and written about Proster John and of his wealth and many sought him, but he remained a mystery.
I have heard that one of the constellations was named after an Ethiopian queen. Is this true, and which one is it?—T. R. J., Philadelphia, Pa.
A great many of the constellations have been named after African heroes and heroes, but I presume you refer to Cassiopeia, queen of Ethiopia. She is said to have bonsted that the beauty of her daughter Andromeda, surpassed that of the nerds of the sea. This angered Neptune, god of the waters, and he brought a deluge upon Ethiopia. The penalty was to china. Andromeda to a rock to be destroyed by a sea monster, but Persus, the crechean hero, treasured her and married her and founded the royal house of Argos.
Where was Roland Hayes born?—G. F. D. Rawshy, N. Y.
He was born in Curryville, Georgia. Were the Egyptians acquainted with glass blowing?—H. P. O. Wheeling, W. Va.
Yes. Glass blowing was practiced in Thebes 3300 B. C. and in practically the identical manner in which it is practiced today.
Have the West Africans any multiethnic?—S. S. W. Indiaapolis,印
No. There are many mission schools, but no universities of the name. The West Africans have been agitating for a university for some years. At present the wealthier of the natives are their children to Europe to be educated. Who was the African woman mentioned in history as the ruler of the island of Rhodes?—F. D. D. Corinth Miss.
Polyxo. She was a native of Arzov in Greece and is descendant of the Egyptian colonists.
She was Tizakhak, the Cushite invader of Judah, a Negro?-K. L. P., Denver, Colorado.
Cushite was a general tarin applied by the Jewish writers to black races and especially to Ethiopians. Tizah was probably the same person as Teachoo, the Ethiopian conquerer mentioned by Stepbo and the same as Tarakos, the Ethiopian king of Egypt whose name appears in the list of Manetho.
Was Caracalla, emperor of Rome, a full-blooded Negro?-F. W. W. Cairo, III.
No. His father, Septimus Severus, was a native of Africa and his mother, a Syrian woman, wife of Severus. Severus, as emperor proved a great and firm leader, but his son, Caraculis, was something of a tyrann and depot. He built the Caracallium baths which were one of the wonders of Rome.
ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,JANUARY 30.1925
Things to remember: "The Sage of Amnesiac" spelled his last name "Donglass"; while the immortal Paul Dumont spelled his middle name "Lawrence". A large number of people spell his name "Lawrence". The proper way to spell persons' name is the way he spells it. The Honorable Olivier Randolph, of Newark, N. J., was recently "let alone as Assistant United States District Attorney, ostensibly because his salary was dismissed. Randolph is a stained Republican, and has a misogynic following. He serves republicans, will look as if he is saintly sighted as to overlook a satisfactory adjustment of the Rindolph case.
Governor and Mrs. Lee Thinkle of Virginia were recently honored visiters at the First Baptist church, Richmond, where the governor delivered a styleful address and Mrs. Thinkle governed the large audience with a violin solo, Governor Trinkle, a Democrat has made himself very popular with Colored Virginia by his attitude of fairness in the administration of his high offices. He is regarded by Virginiaians as a "Star of the first magistrate" in the "new voice" that has come into hearing in the South.
The Honorable C. Bascom Shupp,
Secretary to President Coxhill, has offered his resignation to take office
March fourth. The Honorable, Everett Sanders, Mem'er of Congress from Indiana, will be his successor.
Mr. Shupp entangled his office as Secretary with strong protests from "Sun-Kissed America." He has come out with these down and will retaliate with the commendations of all who have had deserved office since Mr. Shupp's induction. Mr. Sanders, being a Hoosier, "is naturally a politician of Class A, but is known to be generous, popular and a hard worker. He will soon get on to the face of the "boys" who have business with the Chief Executive.
"Questions and Answers in Negro History" by George, Wells Parker of The Associated Negro Press Staff, is regarded by content thinkers as the most constructive department established for racial journalism in years. Parker is an acknowledged authority on the subject, and he is effective in affecting the darker people of the world, and the newspapers of the nation are displaying fine judgment in the fine presentation of Mr. Parker's opinions. Too long has Cedered America been "asleep at the switch" taking the white viewpoint of darkened history of the world. It is a new furniture, an own facts, and a sense white historians are now endowing to tell the truth.
President Calvin Coolidge recently delivered an address to a group of editors in Washington, which shows that the President has a fine "close up" knowledge of the power and purpose of the press. He declared that American newspapers are the best in the world. It can be stated on very high authority that the President is equally as familiar with the press of Colored America as he is to the daily public prints. It was 1924 when he passed that President (Harding himself) to the newspaper man, would he interest in newspapers shirts; the keen interest of President Coolidge in newspapers indicates his knowledge of the secret of being in on the know of the world.
Front page news for some time to come will be the consolidation of the Standard Life Insurance Company with the Southern Insurance Company of Nashville, Tennessee. There has never been anything in American business just like this venture. It will take some years to tell just how the matter is going to work out. In the meantime, because of what the Standard has meant in the development of racial confidence in big business, adverse comment will be at the minimum because of the indulgent hope that "all things work together for good."
CLEMENT WOOD ON "BURSTING BONDS"
"Bursting Bound" is a knockout.
The slighter touches.
"Garfield" Pickouts, the stick of dynamic image about the mixed blood the first sentence.
She could thread her own needle when she was eight years of age, the wagon-body head, the pictures of Southern towns, the two children who stayed home a day to, turn the chair down mounting up to such a sharpness as sustained story as the account of our expedition of the Pullman going South—these are memorable, unique, and gripping to read. The last named incident is as exciting a story as I have recently encountered. Why? Because the reader felt it was all true.
GASTONIA. N. C. Dec. 31. — So thoroughly was the broom of the law sweeping up the business of booot-leggers in this county, a pre-Christmas convention was called by the liquor ring in West Gastonia. The same secretory prevailed that might have forlorn at a K. K. K. meeting. It being impossible to learn who were the speakers and what definite steps were taken to evade the law, except that a number of manes on the preferred lists of the booot-leggers were struck off and denied Christmas service because of the fear that they were not aware with

By The Cameraman
Ophions of a Few—
So fond is Missy of Company that comparisons have frequently been made between Negroes and Jews, with the assertion that the latter are as often he objectives of sewn and social hatred as are the former. It may be that Negroes are more affected in the mind of a son of Palestine, who is now a candidate for high degrees in one of America's leading universities.
The Jewish gentleman, whom we know personally, was also most apologetic and cordial in his approach, was quite clever enough to preface his remarks by a reference to the late Booker T. Washington, when he quoted as having said: "Our greatest danger is that in the great leap from slavery to freedom, we may overlook the fact that the masses of our own hands are the production of our own hands, deserving of praise, and all the masses, white and black, are subject to the same rule. However, we think it somewhat overemphasized with regard to the brother, who like the racial contemporaries, years for a graduation day, now and then, from the pick and shaved."
Our Jewish informant continued by saying that "in the Negro's eyes, of incentive is found a great part of the cause of the worry in this" called Negro problem. We can hardly ignore this philosophy. The much incentive than to suit the other fellow is the thing that makes his palm itself to claim the tightly mans us.
Our philosopher rambled on his stating: "We find the major part of the Negro workers in the field of unskilled labor due in some cases to his lack of education, in some by exploitation by the white people, in other cases to the lack of assimilation which exists between the white and Negro races, in further cases to the awkwardness of the race, and finally in the distinctions shown against the race." Amen, with some reservations as to assimilation and awkwardness.
We thank our informant for hisribute to the Negro "painter, poet, actor, singer, physician, lawyer, and in fact all the "girlfriends which he had to work to file hearts content."
Our friend was a little "gusty" upon certain social conditions distasteful to us all. He said, very gloriously, "It is a regrettable fact that the colored people should, if they actually do look for social equality with the white race."
Personality, we have witnessed a about fifty-seven different varieties of social equality, many of which are existing under misnomers. The increasing number of misnomies is one phase of the social equality game which we would like to see thrown in the discard.
In conclusion, it can be seen that the group million mile net is not paying homage to the social equality company' deftice. That group considers itself well out of the woods and is completely bushing on the sides of independence, viewing our life in the same academic way and in the light of the same philosophies pursued by the other white groups. Clearly, its our move.
Michigan and Missouri March Forward
Mennigan and Missouri March Forward
Forward-looking movements of great
grificance, economically and socially
are taking place in the States of
Missouri and Missouri, where state
officials favor and support of the
'Negro population. In Michigan
C. A. Campbell, a Negro special agent
attached to the State Department of
Tabor and Industry, has visualized
a wide expansion of agricultural tern-
ory, upon the soil of which Negro
farmers and agriculturists may find
a wealth of employment in farming
and agricultural occupations, which
are quite as important as the anvil
chorns of a factory or industrial plant.
In Missouri, another State official,
Robert S. Cobb, has copied an Illumina-
tating report upon the conditions
surrounding Missouri Negroes. Mr.
Cobb has emphasized the importance
of facts and figures relating to industry,
agriculture, health education, nursing,
migration and the resulting influence
which may "make or break" the Missouri Negro population, present or future.
If nothing more had been done by these two officials than to pen a true picture of facts and influences bearing upon their brethren, their official work would have been outstanding. But the gentlemen have gone a step further. They have made recommendations to their chief advisers, and they have pointed out to the country at large what may be done to put all the citizens of their states upon a party thus equitating labor and protecting their happiness and home. The reason is that one, and there is no reason under the sun who the people of Michigan and Missouri, both white and colored, should hesitate to take it. It contains antidotes for such events, as have had such harmful effects in East St. Louis, Chicago and Washington, and is a neo-peek-like step in the journey to interracial peace and progress.
"Cold-Blooded Business"
The Manager of the Steamship Line of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, Inc., whose new vessel, the "Booker T. Washington" is riding the bounding billows, somewhere between New York and the West Indies, quotes in New York press articles that we are on cold-blooded business lines. We do not intend to end-rated. All we want is a successful deal.
WILL ATTEND THE PRESS ASSOCIATION MEETING
THE NEW YORK TIMES
Progressive Editor of the East
KNOGVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 26
That there is need for concerted action on the part of all publishers of Nexo newspapers throughout the country, with a view of promoting cooperation for the common good of the race's "Fourth Estate," is stressed in a statement issued during a few days by Webster II Press in connection with the Knoxville East Tennessee News.
Editor Paper calls attention of the approaching meeting of the National Negro Press Association to the held in the city of St. Louis on February 15 and joins with the officers of the organization in appearance to all publishers to attend. Join and lend their aid in making the organization what it should be.
"There are several matters in connection with the operation of our newspapers that must be considered," said Editor Porter, "and these will be offered to the association at St. Louis, next month, first among which is the need to work for truth and honesty in all departments of the business."
2. To publish in an impartial nots strain, not unlike the evening tinging of a handshake, or the revenue of the owner of a valley slave ship. It is an interest to the Golden Rule, and if the authority applied to its poor mans, it would make it a world record; more unkind than it is. Let us look at the "Top Book" of "bloodied Business," where the delights make the credits look the grains of sand.
**Business** "ruined of Napoleon Bamparte" It was the naval off of Napoleon Bamparte While it made the South become preyrous for a little through the slave trade, its final reckoning cost the South years and years of progress. "Cold-blooded Business" tried to share the value of labor of Paul Laurence Dunbar and have played the songs of Kildun Hayes. Though it had cost our group the heavyweight prize, ring championship at least once or twice. "Cold-blooded Business" has wrestled a number of our banks. It has forced a number of our business enterprises into bankruptcy and failure. Just a short month or two ago, "Cold-blooded Business" had one of our most preyrous insurance companies starred against it. Again it was forced in to the background by merit and justice.
"cold-blooded business" and "hard-blooded" methods, in fact, never pay all the way down the line, because their proponents always meet someone who is a little more "cold-blooded" and "hard-blooded" than are the protagonists of such principles. Quiet, honest edifort, tempered with as much feeling for others as we would want them to have for us with prevail over "cold-blooded" business time in and time out, excepting perhaps, in the stock market—and that is not business—it is a profession.
Judge Bartlett, Our Late Friend—
"The tireless censor of life" span, has obeyed the call of Death by yielding up another stanchion friend of our group in the passing of Judge Ward Bartlett, late Chief Justice of the New York Court of Appeals. We will remember the amiable Justice, who gifts of candy and money to the ladies the colored children of Middle Long Island, New York. Nor did they worry during the early days of Judge Bartlett about having fire works on the Fourth of July, or plentious goodies during Thanksgiving or Christmas periods, for Judge Bartlett was sure to stop at the house and remember the kinsman and mother and father, also. Judge Bartlett was even brave for everybody and it is strange that he remained on the bench year after year, until he was often the highest judicial associate.
gives free from all personal opinion and this, the need to endeavor to be leaders of thought in our editorial and to make all criticism constructive.
3. To keep our news and editorial columns independent of advertising considerations.
4. To decline advertisements which have a tendency to mislead, or which do not conform to business interests.
5. To solicit subscriptions and advertising solely upon the merit of our publications.
6. To cooperate with advertisers in every way and give them full and accurate information regarding the character and extent of circulation.
7. To avoid all questionable practices in competition with other publishers.
8. To support in our papers such worthy measures of public interest as their importance justifies and space permits.
To determine what is the greatest service we can render in the field which we serve, and then strive in every legitimate way to perform the service.
his State. Justice saturated his whole life and was fulome in his soul long before his elevation to the Chief Judgeship.
It seems that mind of our friends of the "vestering" is pressing on and though many, retain the ranks of the old fashioned just folk, such as Powderley, Harford and Bartlett are not cultured. These assertions must be cultured; the growing hand of "vesteringists" must be made to know that in no wise spirit are ordered in combyting the true spirit of America. Justice must not be contemptible. Berch, for it is neglected just as much in the highways and byways where most of the type of Judge Bartlett seem to be few and far between.
We are grateful, then, for the advent of much saids he has. From their mourns we can extract wholesome examples of real manhood which may sway the 'peek' who never it has its most savagely.
Radio Bandshes "CNAS Line"
Vincent Lopez, another radio jazz king, of New York has announced the novel model of incorporating radio broadcasting upon a large scale, with ample entertainment in every city for radio doxettes, and an overhead giant corporation to manage and control the business.
While our forecast may be a little premature, it appears, to us that such a venture might do away with the several hundred yards of the color line. For instance, the purport of Neskey's sit in at Lincoln, Georgia, and Bass's sit in Sarah Martin or Alberta Hunter since the "blues," without worrying about social equality. Then Joopman Hudgins, Eddie Hunter or Salem Tutt, Whitney could do their stuff, and the white folks "down home" wouldn't know whether they were listening to Al Johnim Jim Corbett or Liqel Barrymore. Ford Dabney or "Crickett" Smith's orchestra could play "Somebody Loves Me" and the "Solid South" would think it was, Vincent Lopez himself. This would gradually enlighten the country, so that racial comparisons might eventually operate on the basis of the "Theory of Limits." Everybody might gradually learn to love everybody and forget about Alkeban and hues, and hair texture. Oh, the ado has so color line. Who knows but that it might finally make "Missie" the quarantine sign from the hues of "Company"—interracially speaking you.

DR.W.S.BROOKS TELLS OF TRIP
Has Mighty Experience On Return Trip To Africa During Raging Storm
Day of Biscay, Dec. 25, 1924.
To the Editor of The St. Louis Argus.
Please publish the following in your paper upon receipt of same:
On this day, the anniversary of the birth of our Lord, we find ourselves on our way back to the Dark Continent to tell again the story of His coming two thousand years ago.
We sailed from New York on Thanksgiving Day, aboard the Hampton Association Timer. Dedicated to launched the mainland of Europe nine miles to Humboldt, Germany, we were forced to travel days for a southbound vessel, sailing from that port on Dec. 18, aboard the Westminster Liner, "Este."
I had looped within this time—to have sight a long letter to the people of America to let them know our plans for the work of the coming few years in Africa, but I have been so spent in body and mind and so busy in working out the smaller deeds that such a letter must be put off until a later date.
We are now crossing the Bay of Hispay, and our ship, which seemed so great as man, views bigness, is being lossed about on the ocean's binnacle as though the Almighty were bent in man his insignificance. The wind seems through the rigging, Lightning flashes through the sky, the waves pile high, and angry waters sweep our decks from stem to stern. This vessel might in calm waters, has become as a match box, unable to resist or make a move in its own defense.
Never in all my thirty years of travel over the seas have I known such a terrible experience. I have seen many storms that threatened the lives of all those in reach, but always they have a day or a day or so. This storm has ripped me for four days, and in the night the darkness adds its perils.
But the God who divided the waters for the Israelites and the Saviour who said, "Peace, be still," has not forsaken us, and we creep slowly forward into the face of the wind, very moving for hours. It is a scarcely moving son, wonderful and terrible, as His lessons often are: the smallness of man with all his boasts, the goodness of God with all His strength.
If the storm abates soon we shall come later the Canary Islands in a few days. Shortly after the first of the year we shall be back in the field at Monrovia, Liberia. At Monrovia and to the North and South they are waiting; they are waiting at the millions and at the schools, they are waiting with outstretched hands for them which they know the people of America have sent by us, your messengers.
And for those people I wish to thank their benefactors in America, those who have heard the cry of brothers and sisters in darkness and have contributed of their dollars, their clothes, their books, their sympathies. God has blessed you with the joy of giving to your worthy neighbor. That he may continue to bless you all and prosper you both temporally and spiritually is our prayer. I am.
Yours for the salvation of Africa.
W. SAMPSON BROOKS,
The Last Of The Arkansans
The last of the Elaine victims are free. The fight had gone into the sixty year, and the result proves the philosophy of fight. If there had been no fight in the N. A. A. C. P., there would have been death for a dozen victims of "hay" and legal slavery for three score.
But in spite of the foodish counsel of those who wanted "quiet," this fight was made and kept up, at considerable expense and some peril to individuals, until today as I write the National Office is reading a telegram from Seipio Jones that the last of the six victims who were destined for the electric chair sixty months ago, are now free. This job for the N. A. A. C. P. is not only the greatest job ever done by Seipio Jones, but the greatest achievement of any Negro lawyer in the history of the country. Truly he is "Seipio Africans - Maximus."
And as - for the Association, this
enlargement would justify the entire
enlargement of the States.
The blot on Arkansas can not be wiped out, but the fighting group of American Negroes and their white friends have kept the blot off their record by sticking to this matter until it was finished, and finished right.

SundaySchool Lesson
Leason for February 1
THE VINE AND THE BRANCHES
LESSON TEXT—John 15:1-17.
GOLDEN TEXT—Life that abideth in
fourth much fruit; brings forth
much fruit.—John 15:15.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Being Friends of
Jesus.
NON-OR TOPIC—The Vine and the
branches.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Fruit-Bearing Lives.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND, ADULT TOPIC—Union With Christ.
Under the beautiful allegory of the vine and the branches Jesus set forth the spiritual cheness of Himself and his disciples.
1. The Relationship of Jesus and the Father to the Disciple (v. 13).
1. Jesus the Source of the Disciple's Life (v. 1). He is the true vine. Through the incarnation Jesus identified Himself with humanity, with virtue of His stoning death and resurrection it is possible for the believer to be a partner of His life so that between the disciple and his Lord there is a community of life. As the vine pours its life into the branch, so Christ pours His life into the believer. Our salvation is eternal life because it is the life of the eternal Son in us.
2. The Father Has in His Hands the Discipline of the Disciple (v.1): The "Father is the husbandman." Just as the culture of the vine is in the hands of a husbandman or the discipline of the believer's life is in the hands of the Father. In this disciplinary process.
(a) Removes the unfruitful branch (v.2). He does not take the trouble to prune the fruitless branch. The nominal church member, the mere professor, He removes.
(b) Purges the fruitful branch that it may produce more fruit (v.2). He restrains our natural tendencies and desires in order that the virtues of the Lord, the fruits of the Spirit, may shine forth.
3. The instrument by which the pruning is accomplished is Jesus' words (v. 3). The disciples already were cleansed by Christ's words, for finds the traitor had been cast out. If the believer's life is to be fruitful in character and service the pruning knife, Christ's words, must be intelligently and regularly applied.
4. The Conditions of Fruit Bearing (xx. 4.7).
The supreme object in pruning, the culture of the vine, is fruit.
1. Abiding in Christ (vv. 4-9). As the branches draw sap and life from the vine, so believers must abide in Christ, from whom they derive their purity, strength and wisdom. Indeed, it is a mutual abiding, the discipline in Christ and Christ in the discipline. It is Christ's life expressing itself through the believer. The one thus inducted by Christ will bear much fruit. So great is the displeasure of the Lord with lifeless, unsurvival branches that they are to be "cast forth" "withered," even burned (vv. 6).
2. Christ's Words Abide in Us (v. 7). So mighty is the power of the one who abides in Christ and in whom His words abide that Heaven can withhold no gift from him.
111. The Blessed Issue of a Fruitful Life (vv. 8-17).
1. The Glorification of the Father (v. 8). Through much fruit-bearing, the Father will be glorified (Matt. 5:10).
2. Credentials of Discipleship (v. 8). The only way to prove that one is a child of God is to manifest the characletics of God in one's acts and service.
3. Abiding in Christ's Love and Keeping His Commandments (vv. 9, 10). The way to abide in Christ's love is to keep His commandments. The one who neglects the words of Christ is desistence of His love. It is folly to talk of being in the love of Christ while disobeying his teachings.
4. Fulness of Joy (vv. 11). The way to have fitness of joy is to have Christ's joy in us.
6. Loving one another (vv. 12, 13).
The one who abides in Christ and has the life of Christ flowing into him will have a life of love, will love his fellow man, especially his brother in Christ.
7. Friends of Christ (vv. 14, 15).
Christ's friends do whatsoever He commands. Being has obedience. He takes us into His confidence and makes known unto us the Heavenly Father's will.
8. Perpetual Fruit-Bearing in Love.
With Power in Prayer (vv. 16, 17).
Physical Vigor
Physical weakness is not a sign of spiritual power. All other things considered, the man or woman who enjoys physical vigor will be able to accomplish more than those who are pumy and ill.
How Many?
"How many people," says Jeremy Taylor, "are busy in the world gathering together a handful of thorns to sit upon."
Our Fears
What we fear most is not today's trouble, but that which may happen tomorrow.

The *Leonard* — Avenue Baptist church has been very fortunate in securing again the services of Rev. J. L. Caston, a great pulpitere, race leader and organizer, for a series of meetings, during mid-winter revival. There will be services every evening beginning at 8 o'clock and closing at 9:30. You, yes, you should hear this young man—this wonderful Christian, if you love him. Christmas strife appears for full time workers for God will inspire you, and if you are a sinner you may see for the first time in life why you need Jesus and that God loves and years for you.
Rev. J. L. Caston preaches at 11 o'clock Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon at 3:20. There will be a special meeting 'Men and women of every community are invited and expected to attend.

ST. PETER'S A. M. E.
Rev. E. E. Treadwell was at his best Sunday a. m. He preached to an appreciative congregation from Jno. 17-19-21 "I pray for them that they may all be one." After a strenuous day, he preached again Sunday evening from Jno. 3. 7-"Ye must be born again." The services were all inspiring and splendidly attended. The revival is being carried on very successfully. Seldom a service without an addition to the church, as every one is earnest and making every effort to have a real harvest of souls. Sunday School is flourishing under the leadership of Mr. Jao Walker. Sup!.

SAMARITAN M. E.
The general theme from the perennial theme about A. Doyle was carried over with great effect by the pastor. In his sermon on Sunday, the burden of the sermon was the reality of the "inner man", which we heard, described as transiently more important and vastly superior to the outward man. The text was gleaned as II Corinthians 4:10. The sermon was a very fine one and showed not only complete mastery of the art of argumentation, but was indicative of the full, rich Christian life back of the man who preached it. The Junior Stewardess Board in a special service on Sunday afternoon is bringing Rev. Phleps of the C. M. E. church as speaker. It is hoped that the entire membership will be on hand to give Rev. J. Hoods a J. Hoods is heading a committee which will conduct a food-storage system, whereby canned goods may be donated to members and friends at any time and be stored away for conference. The least gift will be appreciated. The "Ullly club" presents Mrs. Elise Halley Gordon in song recital on Friday, February 27, at the church. The Bishop Clare club holds its meetings the first Tuesday in each month. Let every members be present without fall on Sunday to hear Rev. Phleps.

LIBERTY CONGREGATIONAL
In a few well chosen remarks based upon Luke 1:36, Rev. Stanley pictured the wonderful influence of Mary moulding the character of her divine Son, and how she considered it a blessed privilege to be permitted to co-operate with God in His great plan of redemption. Mrs. W. A. Glesen then sang very acceptably a beautiful solomil. Mrs. Post, an active worker of the Woman's Board of Missions of the Interior, was introduced by Mrs. Livingston.

BEREA PRESBYTERIAN
Sunday is communion day. It is a twentieth century fact. Imagine yourself as explaining its meaning to a person who had never heard of it. It will be a good preparatory exercise and will make your remembrance more real. Members received by the session since December seventh will be fellowshiped. The sacrament of baptism will be administered to the qualified, who desire it for threesome or their infants. If the aim of the Sterling Education bill "includes the education of the entire nation and the stamping out of illiteracy" why should the New Orleans Times-Pickleay be asked to participate? This bill is followed in biggarry and is regarded by Southerners as a vicious blow aimed at the peace and harmony that now exists among all peoples of the South." No so. It is aimed at ignorance and class and race antipathies. It means that the opportunity should have only his capacity and desire. It will mean for the future of the nation, with ignorance and prejudice eradicated, all the children of all the people, studying, playing and working together with one aim and in one spirit. It will mean democracy instead of the present hypocracy. The Ladies Aid meets Thursday, 7:30 p.m. Mrs. Marla Williams after a long interview, was able to be at church and to respond to that tenure.

ABRAHAM'S BUSINESS RECORDS ARE FOUND
Associated Negro Press.
Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. 28. —The most ancient business records ever kept by man, one, a hedger similar to those used today, have been found by a joint expedition of the British Museum and the University Museum at Ur. of the Chaldees, the buried city of Abraham, according to a report received in this city from C. Leonard Wooley, head of the expedition. The report gave details of the first month of this season's digging and continued an announcement of the find of the earliest business records, the booking of the Temple of Canaan in the former capital of the Babylonian Empire, before the time of Abraham. The archaeologists of the museum have also uncovered a great "Hall of Justice," erected in all probability by Nebuchadnezer. The most striking architecture found accompanying in Mr. Wooley, was that of an arch in the facade of one of the buildings uncovered and which he believes moves back the history of architecture, in this respect, to the remotest antiquity.

Short Talks To Young Folk
Associated Negro Press
Youth like time, is ever fleeting.
We are young for a season only. The real life is not that of youth but adult life. Youth is only the stage of preparation for real life; hence we can readily see that in life, as in all things else, where there is no preparation as a rule, there is ever failure. In other words, adult life is always just whatever youth made it. In youth, we are laying the foundation from every angle. If we lay, this foundation well, we shall be enabled to rear a great structure upon it in after years, but if we are over levitons, and lay it in sand, doomed must be the superstructure of real life.
And a bad foundation can be laid in so many ways; in riotous living, in dissipation, in levity and hilarity, in the impairment of health, in idleness, in extravagance, in a failure to decide early upon the serious side of life, in the importance of adopting a real life, in the greatest amount of education, and make the greatest preparation possible within your group.
We can, as a rule, get a very good indication of what a boy or girl is going to do quite early in life, for whenever we come across one of some years, who never gave indication of a serious thought, but seemed content at all times to "snuggle," "giggle" and "good time" the time away, we may very safely conclude that in them there is altogether a sandy foundation being laid, and that the superstructure will be worth just about as much as the "sand" in which it is being laid.
We shall reap no better, halfest than we sow. If we plait acorns we are going to grow oak; not chestnut. If we set it on eggs, we need not expect to hatch turkeys, but we do so is life, we need not expect to wander in the harvest time, when we planted in stubble fields, upon the rocks, in soil which had neither fertility nor preparation.
I specialize in designing. Let me design and make your wedding gown, porry dresses and coat suits. I guarantee perfect fit or refund the cost of your material. I am a specialist in refining and remaking garments. Whether I make your garments or not, call upon me. Let me advise you as to colors best suited for your completion as well as figure, and the material needed to make name. My advice is free and will save you money.
