THE WISCONSIN Official Organ of Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth. A NATIONAL JOURNAL OF OPINION AND CIRCULATION THE AMERICAN WOODMAN, "BROTHERHOOD OF MAN", INCORPORATED 1901 at DENVER FOR MEN AND WOMEN, ENTERS ILLINOIS ONE OF THE STRONGEST FRATERNAL INSURANCE SOCIETIES IN AMERICA Only Society Extending Woodcraft To Our People --- Issues Against Old Age, Disability, Accident, Sickness, Death---Organizers Wanted JULIUS H. JONES. SUPREME DEPUTY. CHICAGO. ILL. VOL. II (Staff Correspondent) Chicago, Ill., Feb. 28. — The American Woodmen Fraternal Insurance Society, one of the leading fraternals of the country, organized and incorporated in Denver, Co.,1901, has successfully invaded the great state of Illinois and is giving stenous competition in the great Fraternal Realm and Magic City of Chicago. Has Efficient Business Leaders The men in whose minds the idea of the organization was born have given their lives to the study of fraternal insurance and are rated first class financiers and business men. Right rates, methods and management were adopted from the start, a fact which has kept the order from ever having to issue extra assessments or increase in any way the burdens of its more than thirty thousand members. C. M. WHITE. Suupreme Commander The present Supreme Camp officers are: Supreme Commander, Hon. C. M. White, Denver; Vice-Sup. Com., H. L. Billips, Louisville, Ky., Dean, Wiley University. Atty Billups is a lawyer of high attainment who has successfully practiced in many states. Sup. Clerk, L. H. Lightner, Denver, who has introduced into the Supreme Camp office an elastic and efficient business system for keeping the rolls of the rapidly increasing membership, which is regarded as the most up-to-date and perfect system used by any fraternal organization. Local Heads Among those actively engaged in the work of the organization here in Illinois are: State Supervising Deputy Julius Edward Jones, who has been a staunch factor in the order for a number of years and known throughout the state as a devout christian man of striking business integrity; deputies I. B. Lawrence, R. L. Faulk and B. J. Knox, all invaluable exponents who are proving their ability of exponding woodcraft to the many hundred who are becoming interested daily. What American Woodmen Is The American Woodmen is no new concern. It is chartered and incorporated by the State of Colorado where the insurance statues are recognized as the best in existence for the protextion of the policy holders, and is licensed in every state where there is a colored population of 1,000,000 or more. It is a colored institution, operated for and by colored people, giving employment to hundreds of race men and women, among whom is Miss Estella P.Carter, the efficient head stenographer at the Supreme Camp office, Denver, Colo., whose former home was in Galesburg, Ill. Why You Should Join The American Woodmen has stood the test, by operating for more than sixteen years, writing more insurance, and promptly paying more claims than any other insurance society in the United States for colored people. The American Woodmen insures against old age, total disability, accident, sickness, death and burial. Its statistics show the following: $150,000 for protection of policy holders; $400,000 paid as benefits; $30,000,000 insurance written. The Society carries the National Fraternal Congress rates and maintains 112.1 per cent. valuation as estimated by the insurance commissioner John H. Upton. In this age of hustle and bustle accidents are increasing at an alarming rate. During this severe changeable weather any person is liable to be either injured or contract a serious illness. A few other features which make Wooderaft more beneficial and quite different from any other insurance or fraternal organization are: It is based on the lodge system, its locals being known as camps. Meetings are held at least once per month, when sick claims are adjusted and new applicants admitted and given the pass word and signs, much the same as any other fraternal society. First—Certificates range from $100 to $2,000. Second—Certificates increased or decreased at will. Third—All certificates carry accident, sick, total disability, burial and death benefits. Fourth—All certificates graduated on an adequate rate. Fifth—All certificates guaranteed regardless of condition of local camp. Go where you please, live where you please, your certificate is always good. Sixth—The clerk of local camp is appointed and bonded by Head Camp, therefore local funds can never be stolen or squandered to the detriment of camp or your policy. Seventh—No initiation, simple, dignified obligation. Eighth—Rates the month. Never a tax or extra assessment of any kind. Ninth—All mortuary funds invested in bonds and used solely for payment of claims. Tenth—All claims paid in full and at once. The American Woodmen issues a combined life and accident certificate to men and women alike, making it possible for the entire family to join the same camp, attend the same meetings and participate in all benefits of the order. COUNTRY OF NEW YORK MADISON, WIS., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1918 All certificates are sealed for four years, thus insuring the society against dishonest applicants and enabling us to maintain our low rates. This works no hardship on the honest member, for if he should die during the first year of membership, more than two thousand per cent. would be paid the beneficiary on the investment. Joining Fee The regular joining fee is six dollars, but a dispensation is now on which has reduced the fee to $3.50. All camps are instituted by regular salaried deputies who understand the business throughly. They are furnished the leading fraternal journals and are required to pass insurance examinations the same as other professional men. Juvenile Department The Juvenile Department of the American Woodmen is operated very much the same as similar departments of other secret societies. Children admitted from 8 to 14 and given sick benefits and burial. Put your children in. It helps to beget in the young people a sense of their filial obligations. It helps to train them and gives them the sort of education they cannot get in school or home. Two Thousand in Illinois Deputy Jones and his able coworkers have been successful in corralling more than two thous- JOHN H. HARRIS and members in the State of Illinois, including four camps in the city of Chicago. These groups have some of the city's leading fraternal celebrities listed as members and many more have made application for membership. Special Activities This organization has purchased $10,000 worth of Liberty Bonds and has set aside a reserve fund of $10,000 to be used in keeping up the premiums due on the certificates of their Brother Woodmen who have been and may be called to France.

GEORGIA NEGRO OWNED 9000 ACRES OF LAND AND WORKED 200 PLOWS. (Special to the Blade.) Bartow F. Powell of Albany, Ga. died at his home last week, at the age of 55 years.

NO.37 NEGRO AMERICAN ALLIANCE WARNS AGAINST FALSE OPTIMISM "Face Facts Squarely and Use Common Sense," says Secretary General. "The American Negro needs to exercise extreme caution lest he be swept away on a wave of false optimism." says Floyd Doles Francis, Secretary General of the Negro American Alliance. In a statement which the Alliance is sending out from its national headquarters, the Secretary General continues: "It is well to be optimistic and look on the bright side of the things, but there is a danger mark that must be carefully avoided. At the present time there is much machine-made opinion finding its way into the public print. The Negro is being assured that all is well. There is much talk about what he has done in the past and how he can be depended upon in the future. He is being lauded as an American citizen who always rises equal to the emergency. While being filled with enthusiasm by hired enthusiasts it is well for him to pause, face the facts squarely and use his common sense. "We are at war with Austria, yet Austrian alien enemies have more privileges than Negro soldiers in uniform. The fact is that democracy is being made a farce and mockerey right here in America. It is time for the Negro to cease fooling himself or, when the war is over, he will be lost." The Negro American Alliance is teaching the race to think. This fine organization has issued a pamphlet that every Negro should read. It is entitled: "The Negro American Alliance: Its Principles, Purposes and Aims." It will be mailed anywhere on receipt of 20 cents. Address: The Negro American Alliance, Suite 24, Atlantic Insurance Bldg., Atlanta City, N. J.

Be sure to read our adds. They contain good bargains. Colored People's Exhibit at State Fair Colored People's Exhibit at State Fair Well, the expected has happened. Having successfully (?) established a Negro corner in a newspaper of general circulation, in spite of our objections, the same influences are now being used to establish a Negro section at the next State Fair. "Space has been obtained for the colored people's exhibit at the State Fair next fall. Each county will be represented," says the "News of the Colored People" in the Madison Democrat. If the purpose of the promoters is to have all exhibits of colored people in a section to themselves—and we can think it no other purpose—it is the very worst step that could be taken, however it may appear to the country. Just as we predicted when the Democrat established its separate column for colored people's news, every successful separation makes another just so much easier. Segregate us in the public newspapers and in the State Fair and it won't be long before it is tried in the schools, cars and other public institutions, and it may be too late—the disease may be too far advanced—to stop it. The time to kill that hydra-headed monster is when it pokes its first The Wisconsin Weekly Blade has for its slogan the simple word "Service". It has been conceded by the best philosophers that the press is in one of the best positions to wield public sentiment or to create social, civil or religious interests, and therefore are an asset to any community. The effort of the Blade then is to give the community in which it is published and circulated the VERY BEST SERVICE. We need your co-operation and will guarantee you the service you desire if you will pay your subscription and patronize our advertisers. We have started in this issue a Blade Calendar in which we hope to keep our readers posted upon the coming events, meetings, etc. We trust each organization will be benefited thereby, which will mean a new interest will be aroused in the religious, social and civil affairs of the city. In these strenuous times, when the condition of the country is so unsettled and the door of opportunity is seemingly closed to a multitude of unskilled laborers, it should be the aim of all to strive to increase their knowledge; make our public institutions, our fraternities, books, news papers, and periodicals better. And thus give light to the people may find their way. In our desire to increase the usefulness of the Blade, we have started a campaign for 1500 more paid subscribers in Chicago and vicinity. We are striving to increase the size of the paper, secure correspondents who will give the latest and most interesting news, and thereby merit your good will and liberal support. No better business can be pursued than circulating good literature such as the Blade. We want active representatives for the Blade who are willing to sell their time, talent and labor where it will be the most effective and produce the best results, from a mutual viewpoint. Many high salaiired salesmen and women and most prosperous men of today, started life selling literature and your opportunities are much better now. We want active public spirited representatives in every church, fraternity and every women's club in Chicago to send in their news items. Influential, race loving, sentiment moulders are needed as agents. You will not have done your full duty until you have paid your subscription to the Blade and induce others to assist us in obtaining our 1500 new subscribers. Now that the B, M, C, has been postponed until 1920 it behooves every Odd Fellow and Ruthite in the district to boost the Blade, keep posted on all important events of the order, prepare to visit Madison August 6, 7, 8, 9 and assist in making this the most interesting meeting the dietriet has ever had.

What we have said before we now repeat it. We are unalterably, uncompromisingly opposed to discrimination against citizens based on color or race. We do not believe that a man should be singled out for different treatment any more on account of the color of his skin, of his eyes or hair. The one is as much at home in a democracy as the other, and neither could long survive the penetrating rays of the sun of true democracy. We do not believe that any thoughtful colored person having the future of his race at heart could advocate such a move. If there is, we purpose to warn him against the mere appearance of giving it his support. There may be some temporary advantage in having the handiwork of the colored people itself where they can receive credit for it. But the advantage will be only temporary, the disadvantages will be felt by our children and our children's children even to the remotest generation. Before it is too late let us register our opposition to this new move to introduce southern ideas in free Wisconsin. FILM PLAY THAT LIBELS RACE CANNOT BE SHOWN IN ATLANTIC CITY Mayor Bacharach Threatens To Close Theatre if Degree is Disobeyed (Special to the Blade.) Atlantic City, Feb. 27.—Mayor Harry Bacharach has issued a decree forbidding the Colonial theatre to show the film play: "Birth of a Nation." Elaborate plans had been made by the theatre management to run the film for three days. The matter was brought to the attention of the mayor by public spirited colored citizens. He immediately sent the following message to the Colonial's manager: "It has ben called to my attention that you are thinking of bringing the "Birth of a Nation" to Atlantic City on February 14th, 15th, and 16th. I desire to notify you that you should cancel this picture at once, as it will not be permitted to be shown in this city. If you attempt to do so, I shall be compelled to use the power vested in me as Mayor of the city and close your theatre. I do this not alone as Mayor of the city, but as vice-president of the State Home Defense Committee." The matter was taken up by the Amusement Association which assured the Mayor that it did not wish to give any exhibition that might promote race hatred. Later on the theatre manager called on the Mayor and told him that although the theatre would lose hundreds of dollars they accepted his ruling and would not contest the case. P. N. F., CARL PREVATT.

Anthony Josey, genial editor of the Blade, was welcome visitor and guest of Center while visiting in Milwaukee. Mr. Chas. Davis received the sad intelligence of the death of his mother in Tampa, Fla. There is plenty of work in all kinds and good wages in Milwaukee, and the Center finds it difficult to supply the many calls. Those coming this way quest of labor would do well to correspond with the secretary, 318 Cherry St. Our editor was guest at supper last Sunday night at the home of Rev, and Mrs. E. W. Thomas. The father is all smiles and much elated over his little daughter Dorothy. His Eugene is a promising young chap.

Netter spent Sunday in Oshkosh with his mother and sister. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Scott report a pleasant trip, after spending four weeks in the principle cities of Texas. They were royally entertained by prominent members of Uncle Sam's boys at the Houston and San Antonio camps. They visited friends in Kansas City enroute to the Windy City. Mr. Willie Fergerson of Chicago was shaking hands in Fond du Lac and Oshkosh this week. He says Chicago is allright. Wisconsin is good enough for him. Messrs. Louis Chase and Irvin Mathews have returned from a business trip to Milwaukee. Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Fowler were called to Iowa. Feb. 15, on account of the death of the latter's sister.

Mr. Marva Shivers writes that he arrived home safe, finding everything in good shape around his farm. Joseph Revels is doing a good business at his barber shop. Wm. Bass is contemplating on buying a farm tractor. Edger Shivers was a caller at the Revels home last Sunday. Peter Waldon and family were dinner guests at the June Revels Sunday. The farmers are very busy cutting wood and preparing for their spring work. Wax Revels is a violin player of no mean ability and is called on often to play for parties. The warm typical spring days are a great relief to the farmers, who are feeding stock. Shivers Bros. have been sawing wood with their tractor the past week. A number of the farm boys were deferred classification on account of their occupation and some were put in class one. Burley Revels will be the first to go from Vernon, Co., in the next call. MY CREED Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them, and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by them; the kind of things you mean to send for their coffins, send to brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them. If my friends have alabaster boxes laid away, full of fragrant perfumes of sympathy and affection, which they intend to break over my dead body, I would rather they would bring them out in my weary and troubled hours, and open them, I would rather have a plain coffin without a flour, a funeral without an calylog, than a life without the sweetness of love and sympathy. Let us learn to anoint our friends beforehand for their burial. Post mortem kindness does not cheer the troubled spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance backward over life's weary way. POSITION OF THE AMERICAN FARMER (From Treasury Department, Bur. of Publicity, Liberty Loan, Chic. Distr.) With practically every great food-producing country in the world, Argentinia excepted, now engaged in the great world war, the tillers of the soil find the motions turning to them for bread. This war has proved a gold mine to the farmer, not only her in America, but all over the world. A man with food to sell has made money wherever he marketed his produce. The American farmer has been particularly fortunate. The United States held aloof from the struggle for two years and the American farmer received top prices for bumper crops. The wealth of the world flowed into his lap, while Sweeie, Dane, Frenchman, Englishman and Italian breakfasted, dined and supped off the crops and cattle he sent abroad. All that is changed now. The United States has entered the war, and what, for two years, meant the American farmer's opportunity to make money, now means his opportunity to show hard, common sense and patriotism. In the first place, the Government must be supported in this war against German autocracy in the form of submarines, or his crops will not get to market and he will not be able to get his share of the world's wealth. That is the hard, common sense of it. And, if his Government is not supported by his money, it will not be able to purchase from him here in the home markets. That also is hard, common sense. In the second place, the farmer's patriotism should tell him that the Government at Washington has given him laws and an assurance of protection for his property and his rights as a free citizen, should be supported by his money—not because that Government at Washington is something apart from him, but because that Government is himself and his neighbor to the south and his neighbor to the east and all his neighbors in the state and in the United States. The Government is ourselves and we should know enough to display practical enthusiasm for our own good fortune and our own ideas of what is right and lawful among nations and individuals to back our opinion with our money and our lives. The American farmer is feeding himself and his friends when he works hard and long to produce bumper crops in this war period and he is spending his money on himself and his future, as well as that of his allies, when he supports the Government by purchasing Liberty bonds.
