N. A. A. c. p. BUTTONS.
Every Member Should Wear One.

1t Is the express wish Of the Central
Branch of the N. A. A. G. P. that all
members should wear a button show
ing their connection with this organ
ization, that stands for the rights of
our race. I have therefore in con-
formity with that desire received 100
buttons which will be sold to men,
bers at the small figure of thirty-five
cents (35c) each. The button is very
beautifully and artistically made and
one which every member should be
proud to wear. The Secretary will
always have a number of these but
tons with him and will take no Of
tense if stopped on the street or any
where else to purchase one. Let each
member have button. Wear it in a
conspicuous place, be prepared to tell
what it stands for when questioned
and thus advertise the Association for
the advancement Of colored people.
A general meeting will take place
as early as is, convenient and mem-
bers are kindly asked to watch the
Twin City Star for announcement.

THE BETRAYAL OF A RACE

THE BETRAYAL OF A RACE.
: In every E>neration and among all
racas of peo1s. high and low, rich and
poor, you will find traitors and con.
spirators. Caesar had his Brutus and
Charles his Cromwell. Hamlet had
his uncle and Macbeth his wife. But
who are the traitors and conspirators
among colored Americans? The mo-
ment colored man is picked out by
a white man, and in some instances
by his own people, it is not long be-
fore he begins to conspire against his
people and join or lead an army of con-
spirators. The time has come for the
black man to choose his own leaders
and deputize them to lead him in deed
and in fact. ....
The present war should be lesson
to the colored Americans. They should
stop and think and decide whether 1t
is wise for men who have been picked
by white men to lead or represent
them. Is the race being betrayed by
conspirators?

MRS. HALEY MAKES APPEAL
FOR WAR WORK CAMPAIGN. \

In our delirium of Joy that the war
is ended, let us not feel that our work
is ended. Much remains to be done
and many problems solved before our
country is again back to normal care
free conditions Let every woman re-
main steadfastly at her task quite as
willing to give loyal service to her
country during this trying period of
reconstruction and readjustment as
during this struggle for world democ-
racy.
Readjustments must come gradually
and Uncle Sam will need every loyal
citizen to help him over this task. Do
not feel that the armistice signs our
release from work any more than it
does our fighting soldiers across the
sea.
Let US stand ready and willing for
any orders we are given, to make this
period Of readjustment as speedy and
orderly one as possible, and as
proud record for America as she has
made in other war activities.

FLASHLIGHTS

Nothing pleases the average person
more than to be called q "real busy
man."
One can't help wondering just what
school of life man goes to to learn
to boast.
The man who is loyal to his country
would never be disloyal to his wife and
children. . ..
The man who has spent his money
to make others happy need never have
any regrets over dying poor.
Any pretty girl can get admirers, but
there's something to the plain young
woman who wins admiration.
If it weren't for the neighbors what
would some folks do when they need
ed hammer or screwdriver7
The world owes no man living |;
what it does owe every man is a chance
to make living, and 1t usually pays
him that.
Beauty may be only skin deep, but
any peach can tell you that it doesn't
have to be any thicker to fool the men.
