somewhat inferior in social position

an aldermans daughter--"mighty su

The girl looked him stonily In the

"Ah, indeed" was the quiet retort.

Final Jute Forecast $500, 900 Bales.

The Indian jute crop for the
1s16-1917 season will be 100000
bales, according to the figures announ-
ced by the British-Indian authorities.
This is about IL per cent larger than
the 1915-1916 crop. The first forecast,
which was made last July, placed the
probable yield at about $3.50, 900 bales.
While the outturn will in all likelihood
be in excess OF the estimates made a
couple of months ago, the size of the
crop is disappointment because last
seasons yield was the smallest in
years and the carry-over is considered

Uniformity of heat is a most i'm

1t requires skill to obtain just the
right heat. Not so very long ago a
great bread bakery found it neces

cool off. After the fires were rebuilt
1t was about week before they could
be sure of the uniformity of the bread
baked in those ovens. This merely
demonstrates to the housewife the
necessity for giving time and atten.

TO THE AFRICAN RACE IN
AMERICA.
Are We Citizens Or Are We MOI

Are We Citizens Or Are We Not7
The undersigned feels that it is his
duty to issue this call for a Conven-
tion to meet in Denver, Colorado, on
August End, 1916. 1t seems impera-
tive to make this call at this time be-
cause representatives of twenty-siX
states have already signified their in
tention to attend such a gathering
and bring with them large delega-
tions from their respective states
The most important thing to be
considered at this time by the Black
people of America is the matter of
citizenship. Are we and can we be
truly called citizens of the United
States? If we are citizens we should
and must have all the rights enjoyed
by any person of any race or color.
If we are not to have these rights
and privileges it is now time for us
to know it. This Convention is called
for the purpose of carefully consider
ing this question in all it's bearings
and to lay our grievances before the
American people and all the world.
We solemnly ask the White race
il it is right, fair or just for a people
who have served it so long and been
so loving, kind and faithful, and so
patriotic as we, the Black people nave
been, to be treated in the way and
the manner we have been treated by
the American White people?
If we are to remain subject race
the time has now arrived when we
should know all the facts and govern
our future acts accordingly. We
should enter our united protest
against discriminating treatment and,
if discrimination must continue, we
must seek country where all peo-
pie of African blood have equal
opportunities; where no discrimina-
tion can be practiced against us.
Liberia is such country. Africa fur
nishes a great field for laudable am
bition and growing emulation.
We call on all Black people of all
the states and territories of the Unit
ed States to join us in this effort to
bring about better conditions for the
African race in this country. 1t is
our privilege to organize in all cities,
towns, hamlets and communities and
send strong representatives to this
convention who have at heart the fu-
ture welfare of the race.
