HUNDREDS DESERVING HOMES

Arkansas City, April Al though the leve here was examin- ed this morning and declared to be at tbat time able to withstand the flood conditions of the Miss issippi river, every precaution IS being taken here to prevent pos sible cutting of the levee. Mem bers of the Texas Levee Board of Louisiana have spent the entire day going over the levee eXamir- ing all points where a break is possible. Twenty-Five men were from Louisiana to act as guards along the levee, and tonight 10 of these guards are patroling the levee, armed with shotguns.
 At To'clock tonight the gauge showed 49.8 feet of water, more than has ever been registered here in the history of the city. According to experts tHege i5 eH- 5ueh water above tHs point to raise the aauge to 54 saet.

The mills of Arkan- City and towns on the Louisiana side Of the river are building boats in preparation fer a possi- ble breaking of the levee.
 Three carloads of sacks Of sand arrived today and will be placed at weak points along the levee. Hundreds of laborers are await orders which may eohe at any time, to begin work. should the levee at this point break t would not only mean the flooding of Arkansas City, out eight ra.ishes in Louisiana would suffer from the waters.

MAKE THE CELEBRATION A BIG
EVENT.

The movement on foot to celebrate
the fiftieth anniversary of our free
dom by appropriate exercises on jan
uary /, is one that should arouse the
enthusiasm and enlist the help of all
our race. Up to this time several
persons, chiefly ministers and repre-
sentatives of the fraternities, have
been meeting and taking the prelim-
mary steps. Now that is well enough
for start, but the celebration
should be all-embracing, or it will
fail of its object.
The Negro has much to be proud
Of Compared with history, our fifty
years of freedom have shown un-
equaled progress. We ourselves can
not realize how great it is until we
stop and consider. AS it is we COM
plain of our shortcomings at times,
only because we have so far prog
ressed toward full citizenship that
we feel that our accomplishments
should equal the white citizen. We
ourselves have forgotten that only
yesterday We were slaves and that
the heritage we have sets restrictions
yet to be overcome. Let us look back
upon the past with thanksgiving be-
cause We have made so much of it..
Let us express our JOY in this cele-
bration, and go forth from it highly
resolved to continue what we have
begun,
