NINE. C. J. WALKER, COLORED
WOMAN MILLIONAIRE
Calls Herself Gods Stewardess.

Calls Herself Gods Stewardess.
Perhaps the most remarkable of the
many remarkable characteristics of
Nine C. J. Walker, Americas wealth
lest Negro woman, who visited Des
Moines last week, is apparently inn
plicit faith in God, which she claims
is the secret Of her miraculous ascent
from the position of wash woman
to that of millionaire in the short
space of twelve years.
As-an evidence of her sincerity in
these declarations she left the sanitar-
ium at Battle Creek, Mich, where she
had gone for her health, and came to
Des Moines upon the invitation of
Mrs. S. Joe Brown, of this city, for
less than her actual expenses and adj
dressed large audience Of members
of both races on Thursday evening,
that filled to overfiowing West, High
auditorium, which has a capacity of
fifteen hundred persons, with an ad-
mission fee of 25 cents, all of which
she donated to the Frederick Douglass
Memorial Committee, Of which Mrs.
Brown is chairman.
= On Friday afternoon she braved the
cold to visit the colored soldiers at
Camp Dodge, delivered to them a
message of patriotism and hope and
exhibited to them free Of charge the
stereopticon views of her quarter of
million dollar home that she is now
building at Irvington on the Hudson
in New York City, which she says be-
longs not t oher, but to the Negroes
of America and where she said she
hoped to b cable to entertain the men
Of the 366th infantry when they re-
turn home from the capture of Berlin.
On Saturday evening she again
braved the elements and found her
way to the little Bethel A. M. E. Mis-
sion in Northeast Des Moines, where
she gave the same lecture to a little
handful of her own people, and in adj
dition to donating the entire door re-
ceipts made personal contribution to
the property fund of this struggling
little congregation.
On Sunday morning she occupied
church and told of her love for the
Savior in a manner that went to the
hearts of all who heard her, and then,
to comply with the words OF he Saw
ior, she had "saved the best wine until
the last" her crowning effort in the
estimation of those who hear them all,
was her address at the Park st. Army
Y. M. C. A. on Sunday afternoon,
where without the aid Of notes or ster-
eopicon views and without reference
to her wealth she held the wrapt at
tention Of amixed audience that filled
every available space Of standing
room in the auditorium, including the
balcony and overflow room, for more
than an hour while she related the
story Of her miraculous conversion
more than quarter Of acentury ago
and urged upon her hearers the value
of an upright Christian life.

y HIGH SCHOOL NOTES y
y <+%%%%%t+++++++%+ft
BY Alice Ament.


The past week has been cleanup
week" and the desks at the high
school have turned pale under the
magic OF "old Dutch Cleanser, .
Many OF the familiar initials and
marks have disappeared and the
students are forced to trust to In
stinct to find their own desks.
On Friday the freshmen pennant
appeared for the first time in the as
sembly room. Their colors, green
and gold. we're artistIcally combined
to form the letters Of the school and
the class.
A number OF boys who we're for
mer students at the high school and
recently demobilized from army
camps and training schools. have
been visiting their friends and for
mer teachers at the high school. The
students were glad to welcome them
back. and there was much praise up
on the boys appearance. Those who
visited this week were: Trevis Rey-
nolds, Paul Youngblood, Earle Voor-
hies, Gerald Prescott, Leo Sauer and
Earl Larson.
II has been decided that instead
OF only having Christmas day as a
holiday, the remainder of the week
will be given the students, and
school will be held on New Years
day. This viii give many who live
outside the city chance to spend
Christmas at home.
The interest In the two French
classes has been greatly increased
since Mrs. Castle, OF Paris, France,
has been visiting the classes and
showing them how French really
sounds. Tho first day the pupils
all sat dumb and awed before her
fire OF perfect French, but soon they
were struggling with sounds which
they had not known existed. Mrs.
Castle says that after few weeks
training the classes will have ac-
quIred something OF the real French
accent.
Mrs. Castle was born in a suburb
OF Paris, but lived the greater part
OF her life and was educated in that
city. She has travelled great deal,
but says. of all. Paris is the most
beautiful-in her own words: There
Is no other Paris"

WHAT BOB ROSS SAYS
 OF RED CROSS TALES

In regard to the malicious stories circulating, about the Red Cross selling donated ar- ticles, Bob Ross has written as follows:
 New York,
 8, 20, IS Dear Mother,
 Received your very welcome letter yesterday. and am glad vO11 wrOte Us fellows are building our own flying boat, that is we are building a boat all by ourselves. So far we are getting along fine We are having some fine wea- ther the last few days, it is nice and warm.
 No, I have never paid any thing for what Red Cross stuff | have got and I have never heard of anybody paying for anything, I think that is all talk you heard.
 I just got that box of candy tonight and it is good candy and I thank you for it.
 I will tell you now that I am almost sure of going to France and it will not be very long, but I will always be behind lines in a safe place. I will be an instructor with nothing to do but look after flying boats, that is what I am training for now. I may be here for three months more, then I will go &C., ross to work in the shops over there, building more boats. am in the best line there is. bar ring none so you need not wor- ry about me.

Is Your Concience Clear?

There are only two classes of Americans today. One class IS composed of patriots. The other class is composed of trait 0rs. The sooner the traitors are weeded out, the sooner the war will end.
 If you do not buy liberty bonds until it hurts, you are mot a patriot. Your own con- Cience tells you what you are. and the sooner your concience is clear the sooner this world war will end.
 You will be asked to buy lib- serty bonds some time during April. There is absolutely no argument against it. Prepare yourself to subscribe to the greatest amount you can pur- chase, and then buy another and another, until you feel like a pauper. And do it gladly. Don't argue or complain to the person who asks you to buy. He or she is giving his or her time, without remuneration, to flle cause of freedom.
 And remember this: When you buy liberty bonds you are putting money in your own pocket. You are doing nothing znere and nothing less than aending your money to the Un- Ited States, for which it will pay you interest. By buying liberty bonds you are not paw ing a way to heaven for your Self-don't think that-but you are doing your part to sus- tain the government that makes your dollar worth 100 cents. If your government does not win, with it's allies, your dollar will look like an exploded ball. &1on.
 It's up to you
