Topeka! Kans.-"Opportunities for
the Youth of Kansas is a plea being
made by Prof. George R. Bridgeforth.
principal Of the Industrial and Educa-
tlonal Institute of Kansas located
mere, and in response the trustees of
the institution have decided to put
within the reach of the young women
of the race nurse training bv the
erection of a hospital on the campus
OF the school. 1t will be in honor of
the colored of the state.
Within a few days, a contract will
be let for the building and by next
fall 1t is hoped that the building will
be completed. 1T is our intention TO
make 1t n of the best in the coun-
try" said Prof. Bridgeforth, for we
want to turn out only efficient worthy
nurses. During the influenza cpl
demic' in the city a few months ago
the need of nurses and the work of
the colored women was realized. and
when it was mentioned that we want
ed a hospital where our girls could be
trained in nursing it at once had the
approval of Governor Arthur Gamer
who is now United States Senator.
and Hon. S. J.. Crumbine, secretary
of the State Board of Health. The
Governor among other things said:
Il am glad that the Board of Trus-
tees have decided to erect a hospital
for the training of colored nurses on
the grounds of the Topeka Industrial
and Educational Institute, and that
this Topeka Industrial and Educa-
tional Institute and that this institu-
ton is to be dedicated to the colored
women of Kansas. l hereby approve
of the idea. 1t seems to me the plan
will appeal to all the good people of
our state.
81 am very proud of the record that
has been made by your school. 1t is
one of the most meritorious institu-
lions in Kansas, and l wish you to
know that l will do everything in
my power to help and encourage you
in the fine work you are doing"
Prof. Bridgeforth was selected to
succeed DR.. Carter last fall. He is
n of the most noted educators in
the country, He worked with the
later William II. Council at the state
A. & NJ. College, Normal, Ala, and
from there he went to Tuskegee In,
%stitute, with the late Booker T. Wash
ington, where he remained over
twelve years in charge of the Agri-
cultural Department of the school, re-
signing only to come to Kansas where
he is to do his life's work. This is
truly the Western Tu~skegee, and
great good is being accomplished for
the whole race.

To tn Soldiers and Sailors of America:
Approximately four million officers
and men of the Army and Navy are
Government for a grand total Of almost
thirty-seven billion dollars.
You owe it to yourself and to your
family to hold on to Uncle Sans insur-
ance. 1t is the strongest, safest, and
cheapest life insurance ever written.
For your protection Uncle Sam es-
tablished the greatest life insurance
company in the world-a company as
mighty, as generous, and as democratic
as the United States Government itself.
Just as Uncle Sam protected you and
your loved one during the war, so he
stands ready to continue this protec-
ton through the days of readjustment
and peace.
The privilege of continuing your Gov
eminent insurance is a valuable right
given to you as part of the compensa'
iton for your heroic and Triumphant SER
vices. If you permit the insurance to
lapse. you lose that right, and you will
hCNCl NC oblO I lVSuih ~ .DuI IL JSN
keep up your present insurance-by
the regular payment of premiums
you will be able to change it into a
standard Government policy without
medical examination. eantime you can
keep up your present insurance at sub
stantially the same low rate. The Gov
eminent will write ordinary life insur-
ance, twenty-payment life, endowment
maturing at age 62, and other usual
forms of insurance. This will be Gov
eminent insurance-at Government
rates.
The United States Government
through the Bureau of War Risk lnsur-
ance of the Treasury Department-will
safeguard you and your loved ones
with the spirit and purpose of a Repub-
lie grateful to it's gallant defenders.
To avail yourself of this protection,
you must keep up your present insur-
ance. Carry back with you to civil life,
as an aid and an asset, the continued
insurance protection of the United
States Government.
Hold on to Uncle Sans Insurance.

Secretary.

TRAIN poRrERs VICTORIOUS.


The Colored train porters on the
great victory afte r something like
forty-five year of service. The train
porters, doing all the duties of a head
end brakeman, will hereafter be called
a passenger train brakeman as was
decided by the United States Wage
Board. The officials Of the Santa Fe
and Rock Island trains viii pay their
Colored train brakemen $114.S0 per
month, dating from June 1, 1918. Some
of the new men will receive as much
as two hundred dollars back pay,
while some of the older men in point
of service will receive a neat little
sum. The newest men, however, will
receive the greatest amount Of back
pay on account of receiving smaller
salaries. Hereafter all men will re-
ceive the same salary. The train por-
tiers are deeply grateful to Director
General McAdoo and the Wage Board
for this consideration in spite of the
fact that white brakemen have con
stantly asked that white men take
the places of the Colored train por-
tiers.
This change of name and increase
of salary for these men is but another
demonstration that the loyal and faith
full service given by them in the past
is noted and appreciated by their SUI
perior officers and that merit tri-
umphs over all obstacles.

eliminated from the United States of
America forever.
Professor w. H. Harrison, principal

distinction of being the first one to
sign this great petition. He also has
the honor of being the first person in
Convention Hall to enroll as an annual
member of the League. Others who

all times and any person whom we
have not reached and desires to sign
it will be welcome to do so at head

When the workers of the League
approach you, it is hoped that you

such organizations. The authorized
workers of the League will wear Of
fetal buttons and will give to each
person they enroll as a member a
smaller red, white and blue button
with a star at the top, the letters n.

now wants to return home, When
we have nothing to do, | entertain the
rest of the bunch by giving them a
sample of what they see in the thea
