GIRLS WORKING RESERVE.

The committee on the Girls Working
Reserve Of the woman's committee, c.
N. D., is organizing the home work for
women in each county in the state. The
Federal government offers d, 500 per
year to each county that viii also raise
81, 500 for the purpose Of employing a
trained woman to act as home advisor.
Pending the appointment of such an ad-
visor, each county is asked to appoint
4 committee to have charge of this work.
The membership Of this committee will
be composed Of the official chairman of
the county appointed by the woman s
committee, the chairman Of production
and conservation and the chairman Of
household science; also the county super
intendent of schools. This committee
would act as q bureau of information
on all subjects relating to household
economics
The state committee hopes to obtain
school credit for girls who have regular
work in their homes. For instance, If

were overcome by the superiority Of the
European weapons of war, and with the
exception of Abyssinia they were final
ly compelled to acknowledge the SOW
erignity of some European power.
OF the west African tribes the Asian
ii kingdom was among the last to sur
render and only did so after the bravest
and most stubborn resistance in which
their generals and kings chose exile or
death rather than to yield their country
to foreign foe, and what is true Of the
Ashanti warriors is true of the Kafirs,
Bantus and other powerful Negro
tribes, and more especially is this true
Of the famous Zulu warriors, whose
bravery and courage have never wav-
cred or faltered. The Zulu people and
warriors were so loyal and patriotic to
each other that their leaders in the final
struggle, Dinuzulu, son Of Cetshwayo,
Undubuko, and Tshaingana went into
exile like Napoleon upon the cold and
barren rocks of St. Helena as q tribute
of marked patriotism and loyalty to
their country which they had left be-
hind them.
In 1895 Italy sought to reduce Abys-
sinia to the same fate, which had be-
fallen so many of the African kingdoms
but the Negro nation of Ethiopian fame,
which had conquered Egypt dehed the
italian invading armies and defeated
them in open and pitched battle under
the leadership of the great Menelik, the
king of kings Of Ethiopia. The italian
army was outmatehed by the Negro
troops of Abyssinia. At the fash of
dawn 145,e0O Abyssinian warriors
rushed down the hills and through the
valleys and under the subordinate kings
Of Ethiopia the Italian army was de-
feated in repeated battle. Ras Alula,
the greatest African general since the
death of Emperor Theodore of Ethiopia,
in 1858, was a conspicuous figure in this
Italo-Abyssinian War, and his military
engagements were attended with almost
uninterrupted success. he had won
great victories over the great invading
armies Of the Egyptians, whose weapons
were modern and whose officers were
European At KufRt he routed the Ma
hiists under Osman Dignam and at
Dogali he defeated the Italians. Ras
Mangasha, the SON of Emperor John of
Ethiopia showed such military superior
ity that the Italians rank him as a great
and intrepid soldier. Just as Germany
the French at Sedan, as the
allied powers conquered Napoleon at
Waterloo, the Abyssinians defeated
Italy at Adowa and kept the Abyssinian
people in the family of nations.

siIt is the eolored press today in
whose hand reposes the seeptre OF larger
influence and greater power for racial
betterment. The more liberal the race
Is in its patronage Of the eolored press,
the more power win il WELD for good, ,"
SAYS Editor Forte Of the Cleveland
(ohiO) Advocate, which reminds us Of
the uagniheent tribute paid to the Ne
gro press by the late DR.. Booker I.
Washington. In his last annual address
before the National Negro Business
League at Boston, Mass, in August,
1915, DR.. Washington said:
"This organization = - could
not have been kept alive from year to
year without the hearty cooperation of
another hard-working and deserving ele-
tnent of our race that most Of our people
know too little about. refer to the
deep debt of gratitude we owe to the
NEGRO PRESS Of this country. There
is no set of people who are contributing
more generously, even out Of their pow
erty. toward the uplift of our race than
is true of the owners and editors Of the
Negro newspapers Of this country, and
say this notwithstanding the fact that
now and again there are those who do
not altogether agree with me-"
Therefore, the writer of this series
will be pardOned for repeating now a
statement which he made some time ago
regarding the Negro press, and which is
most appropriate in this connection. The
statement was in part as follows:
"No less than dozen Of these papers
take their turn each week and speak
editorially to the race, urging them to
patronize the members of the race who
are in business. That appears to be one
topic on which all of the publishers
agree, and in agitating for more liberal
and sustained patronage for Negro bust
ness enterprises they are prompted by no
loftier motive than their pride of race
and their absorbing desire for the races
pelimb into the more important avenues
Of commerce and industry. For this
they are to be commended and should
be encouraged.
-''By continually urging the race to
support its business men, these papers
are extending the trade of the Negro
business men. But what are the Negro
merchants as a group giving back to the
Negro papers in return, and what are
they doing to cooperate. with all this
agitationf 1t must be granted that quite
a few individual merchants give their
printing of stationery to eolored print
ers and not a few insert small adver.
tisements in Negro newspapers which in
many instances is traded OUT but
there is entire absence Of group appre-
citation on the part of Negro merchants
for the great work now being done for
them by the Negro editors"
ITO be continued next week.

LET rHs oH11Dzzx HELP.


Children should be taught and eneour-
aged to take an active part in eomnu-
nifty health work.
Chicago might easily raise an army OF
100000 school children, trained and 50
organized as to do splendid and effective
work in a city wide campaign against
flies, filth, and. disease. The boys and
girls of this big city have already
helped in our cleanup campaigns Of the
past; but never have they been or
gained and captained in q way to
arouse their interest and enthusiasm, or
to direct their efforts in q way to pro-
duce the best possible results. Such an
organization, could it be formed, would
richly pay for the time, trouble and ex-
pense involved in bringing it into exist
ence. An army Of this kind, too, would
reflect lasting credit and honor upon
those who had been instrumental in
mobilizing and putting it into the field
trained, inspired and equipped for COM
munity health service.
There can be no question either, but
that work of this kind would be Of de-
cided and lasting benefit to the chill
dren themselves; in fact, greater than
that received by the communities in
which they worked. The training and
experience thus acquired would make
them better and more useful citizens;
better and, therefore, more desirable
members of any community favored
with their citizenship.
The winter days will soon be gone.
Indeed the time is already here to plan
for the city's spring cleaning. Already
our thoughts are turning to the near at
hand spring and summer activities. We
know that the dirt and rubbish which
has been piling up everywhere during
the long, hard winter must be gathered
up and taken away. We want q clean
city, a fiyless city and q bright, beauti-
full and healthy city. And to have these
things that mean so much for our COM
fort, health and safety, we all must
work. Not sporadic, haphazard, slap
bang, unorganized work, but earnest, in
telligent, enthusiastic and well directed
effort all along the line. And these ef-
forts should be made to apply to our
cleanup campaigns, our fight against
flies and mosquitoes, our city wide gar
den movement and everything we may
do to make this big city Of ours better,
brighter, safer and more desirable city
to live in than it has ever been in all the
years Of its wonderful growth and prog
ress to the present proud position it
holds among the great cities Of the
world.

Children grow rapidly. This is why
they have such vigorous appetites and
as a rule, such splendid digestion. But
it is of prime importance that they be
well and properly nourished. All the
new muscles, bones and all other parts
of the body are made from the food
that they eat. So the child should eat
clean, wholesome, simply cooked foods;

The Part Played by the Negro Soldier,
In the Wars Of the World.
By Irene Mccoy Gaines.
WARS IN CENTRAL AFRICA.


Driven from Spain the Moors sought
to penetrate Nigretia in central Africa
when there rose up Soudanese Negro,
by the name Of Soni He'll Isehia, who
beat them back and established q Negro
empire across Africa 5000 miles in
length, extending on one side from Tim
buctoo to Abyssinia and on the other
to the sea- For 500 years the Negro
Sudanese kingdoms Of Ghana, Melee,
Songhai, Housa, Bornu, Lundi and Kat
sena, with cities like Engornu of Bornu,
and Tmbuctoo with from $4,000 to So
900 inhabitants, through great interna-
tional wars hourished in turn and fell
through the military leadership of
Negro generals and the courage and
bravery Of Negro soldiers. Some of
these kingdoms and empires had 200,-
600 Negro soldiers with 10000 picked
arehers. At one time to Ghana twenty
Negro kingdoms were tributaries with
the white berber state Of Andaghost.
These Negro kings and emperors lived
in fortified castles with glass windows
and decorated with rare products Of
sculpture and paintings. With two
capitals these Negro mOnarchs were at
the heads Of great civilization with i'm
posing pageantries Of the most stately
magnifcanee when France, Germany
and England were just emerging from
barbarism. Thus refuting in measure,
the historical accuracy of the eminent
Negro historian, G. W. Williams, when
he wrote that for more than !, 500 years
the Negroes hands were empty of his
weapons, that the Negroes civilization
in the East at the Christian era had
Preached the danger line; then the eff
fulgent morning of its primal glory was
succeeded by the cleaning of its bar
barous and costly wars, and yet later by
the starless night of its irreparable de-
cay"
Wars IN the Partition Of Africa.
Following the travels of Barth, Kings

markable discoveries of African wonder

Germany, Spain, Belgium, and Italy or

Of their mother country. For quarter
Of century the world witnessed the
civilized nations of Europe at war with
the Negro tribes to secure their lands,
their forests, their mines of gold and
diamonds, and to make African tribes
the subjects of European power. The
Negro tribes in West, South and East

THE YOUNG
MAN To
HIS MOTHER

"Son of mine, who art to me
All that heaven can ever be.
To the service Of thy country,
Lo, | give thee willingly!
Go forth in thy bright young manhood
Swift and strong to do and die;
I, who bore thee, glory in thee
Who SO proud to give as II"
NAY, my mother" spake he softly,
"This my offering must be;
Thou, who gavest me my being,
Gavest manhood unto me.
Thine my childhood, wisely guiding
Heart to feel and eyes to see;
But | am mine own, now, Mother,
Who was thine in infancyl
"Who more generous in the giving
Than myself could ever be?
For the thing thou gavest to me
Has been given utterly!
IT'S my own life, now, o Mother,
And l give it proud and free,
Even as freely and as proudly
AS thou gavest unto mel"

A baby girl was born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Dick Greenway Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. VIM. Lipke and chill
dren left Friday for Chicago where
they will remain with her parents for
a few days and later expect to go on
a farm in Indiana. The Lipke family
was we'll liked by everybody and their
departure from our midst is to be
regretted. Their many friends hope
that their new adventure will prove
advantageous to them.
April 9th will be the first anniver-
sary of the entrance of our country
into the World War. Much has been
accomplished in this time. It is a
huge task to assemble, train and equip
an army. The U. S. never had such
an undertaking on its hands before,
1t has done the best it could, all con-
ditions considered. To US, it is i'll
becoming the average man to stand
around and criticize Uncle Sam. But
the spirit of criticism was born awav
back IN the dark ages, and it has never
failed to live and thrive, especially in
the lives of those who have no bust
ness OF their own to direct.
