PUBLIC NOTICE.

There has been no impression by
me that the Negro Home Guards
would be uniformed by the Civic and
Commerce Association. 1t was under
stood that number of prominent
(white) citizens had financed the
equipment of the white Home Guards
and requests were made that they do
the same for our men. 1t has not
been decided that they would NOT do
so. AS captain in the Home Guards
or as a private citizen have not So
licited funds from any organization
or individual and shall not. Not being
responsible for the expectations of
the men or arrangements for their
equipment by other officers, make
the foregoing statement.
Let every one boost the Home
Guard and help recruit them to their
required strength. Above all, let us
measure up to the standard of intel
ligence and efficiency and uniforms
will come.

Mr.. Bert Ellis, young man of our

in the Twin Cities, having worked
for several years from bellboy to head

Club. He has good education and

denied himself many of the pleasures
of life and used his spare time to per-

saved enough to purchase modern

business men Of our race.

dertaking Co., 300S South 9th avenue,
Minneapolis, heard of the ability Of

neral management among our people

PAT CASEY'S PRAYER
It Was Answered Through the Y. NJ
- c. A., but He Wasn't Quite
Satisfied.

(This story comes from France via
Chicago.)
An Irish soldier, after eight months
of hard, active service, applied for a
furlough. His request was granted,
and then it dawned on him that he
had no money to take advantage of his
holiday. He wanted 500 to 60 to
Paris. =.
He was at his wits end, there be-
ing no time to be lost, when he re-
called his old mothers advice to ap-
ply to the good God above in time Of
trouble. So he wrote and posted his
letter.
Dear Lord: Here am after fight
in 10 months in mud up to me neck.
The work is somewhat unpleasant, but
ye'll be glad to hear that killed SO
Germans. Now, I'm little tired and
/ have me furlough all right, but /
have no money left, having spent most
of what had for prayer books. Ask
FIR. Tom Mccarthy if ye don't believe
me. So, Lord, ask ye in the name Of
all the saints for the small sum of
500. Sure, yell never miss 1t, and If
ye send me the money I'll never for
get yer in me prayers. Pat Casey"
In due course this appeal reached
the censor's office, which happened in
this particular locality to be housed in
the Y. M. c. A. quarters. The letter
was passed around and aroused con-
siderable attention and interest, as
Casey was known to be q brave and
cheerful fighter.
Contributions were sought, and final
ly the sum of $50 was raised. This
was sent to the applicant, without COM
ment, in Y. M. c. A. envelope. The
next day the following acknowledge
ment was received:
Dear Lord: I've received your $50,
as per application for furlough money,
and I thank We. May yer shadow
never grow less. But make so bold
as to give ye word of warnin'. Send
the next money by the X. C.'s. Ye
sent the last by the Y. M. C. A., and
they nipped half of it. Pat Casey"

HOME GUARDS 70 UNlEoM.
(By Capt. Gale c. Hilyer.)

(By Capt. Gale G. Hilyer.)
Company C, 10th Battalion, Mime
sofa Home Guards, is to be uniformed.
The question of uniforms has been a
serious one ever since the organiza-
ton Of the Minneapolis Companies.
The officers of the two Minneapolis
Companies have been working since
last April with various civic agencies
in the hope of obtaining funds for
this purpose, but have so far met
with little success. For a long time 1t
was expected that the boys would get
some assistance from the Civic and
Commerce Association, but so fac
nothing has been done and the Asso-
citation has no funds to devote to this
purpose. Only one thing remains to
be done, and that is to 60 ahead In
dependently with the assistance of
the five thousand colored residents
Of Minneapolis, who are ready to back
up this important work and will not
fail to respond when called upon.
Now is the time when every loyal
and race-loving citizen can do his or
her bit by attending one or more of
the series of entertainments which
Company G will give to raise the funds
with which to uniform the company.
If you can't come at least buy ticket
and help along good cause.
The first of the series will be held
at The Coliseum, 9th Ave. s. and
Lake st. on next Monday, Labor Day,
at 8 p. M. A program has been plan
ned which will contain many novel
features and will interest young and
old. The Grand March will be led
by Major ]. H. Sherwood, with his
full staff in uniform, followed by the
officers and men of the four COM
panies Of the 10th Battalion. Follow
ing the Grand March Company G will
feature a big surprise.
A young ladies' recruiting squad
will be on duty and thru their charms
are expected to add largely to the
pleasures of the evening and to the
ranks of the company. The ladies OF
the Red Cross, Alpha Chapter, will
be present in their uniforms and will
have charge of the refreshment booths
and assist in other ways. A number of
prominent citizens have consented to
act as patrons and patronesses among
whom are: DR.. and Mrs. J. H. Redd,
DR.. and Mrs. r. S. Brown, DR.. and
Mrs. w. e. Burton, Mr.. and Mrs. M.
O.. Cannon, Mr.. and Mrs. John ALI.
son, Mr.. and Mrs. w. G.. jeffrey, Hon
and Mrs. B. s. Smith and many others.
Don't fail to attend this unique af.
fair which will 60 far towards putting
our Home Guards on a substantial
footing in this community.
Music will be furnished by a picked
detail of the Home Guards Band and
will be under the efficient direction
of Prof. w. H. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

O., also studied the treatment of all

equipment about $50O.00 worth Of elec-
trical apparatus for special treatment
of blood diseases, such as dropsy,
rheumatism, hardening of the arteries

provide his patients with the most
modern methods OF medical science.
Amy person wishing to consult him
on these new treatments, may do SO,
without being under obligation to Sc
cure his services. He wishes to ex-
plain the advantages Of scientific
treatment by electricity in many cases
where surgical operations have here
tofore been the only cure. Several OF
his patients are relieved from chronic
complaints and speak in praise Of the
new treatment.

We have never known two injus-
tees to make anything right The
Saturday News has prcspered by be-
ing as just to the white man as it has
ever been to the Negro. We have
never gone off half-cocked upon any
proposition. Whenever we grope, we
are in search of the truth. We want
to be right and avoid as nearly as
possible being wrong. We are not
for the Negro right or wrong. We
want him to be right. We complain
because a majority of white people
will always side with white man
when a question arises between him
and one Of our color; still certain col
ored newspapers, without making any
Investigation whatsoever as to the
evidence, would have the entire Me-
gro race do identically what they con.
denim the white people for doing. Be
cause the white people do wrong is
no reason why the Negroes should
do wrong. The best preparedness to
receive justice is to be just yourself.

SERVICE FLAG DEDICATION.

A service flag was unfurled at St.
Peter A. M. e. Church last Sunday
night in honor of the Church and
Sunday School members who were
called to war service in the second
draft. Mrs. w. H. H. Franklin had
charge of the exercises. Addresses
were delivered by Atty. r. A. Skin
ner, r. G. Buckner, L. G. Jones and
Chas. Sumner Smith. Miss Frances
Duncan read very instructive paper.
Recitations and instrumental num-
bers by the children was the most in
teresting part of the program. Rev.
T. B. Stovall, the pastor, preached a
short sermon. 1t was fitting honor
to those in the service. The atten-
dance was good.

The COLOR THAT
DOES NOT RUN

"The colored troops fought bravely."
It does not matter whether this his
toric report emerged from the Civil
War or from one of the earlier strug-
giles of the Republic. 1t has been his.
torically true at all times. General
Pershing reports from the field of
France: 81 cannot commend too high.
ly the spirit shown among the colored
combat troops who exhibit fine capac:
ity for quick training and eagerness for
the most dangerous work" In these
words the American commanding Of.
ficer bears glad testimony to the BRAY.
cry and devoted spirit of the American
Negroes who are doing their full share
for the defense of their country and
the triumph of civilization and democ-
racy.
1t always has been SO. In every war
in which the United States has en-
gagged, the report has been to the same
effect as the historic message quoted:
"The colored troops fought bravely."
In the Continental army, in the Am
erican revolution, in the naval trium-
phs of the War of 1912, in the struggle
between North and South and finally
in the brief contest with Spain, the
American of African descent proved
his valor and staying qualities.
Now, in the greatest of wars and
the greatest, of duties, the Negro has
conducted himself so as to win the ap-
probation of our greatest soldier. The
kaiser will find that the American
Negroes sent against his levied troops
are of a color that will not run.-St
Paul Pioneer Press.
