SATURDAY, APRIL II, 1920.
ATTEND YOUR PRECINCT RALLY.

The attention of all Negro voters
of precincts and wards may well
be called to the fact that they should
pay strict attention TO the date set
for their precinct convention and at
tend by all means. That this date
may more easily be kept in mind
and that they may be well informed
as to its importance and relation
to county and state conventions they
should attend all rallys and meetings
in their precincts.
This is a critical year politically.
The help of every voter must be
had in every way possible. Lily
whitism, against which we are
striving, is proving most resourceful
and is offering its most stubborn
resistance to our participation in
Texas politics.
Precinct rallies will be called from
time to time for the instruction of
voters and the more complete
mobilization of forces for the grand
struggle. Be on hand at all times.
Attend bring your friends with you.
Keep in close touch with every move
ment that you may know how to
act when the time comes.

woman is friend to Colored bus
mess establishment who never dark
en- the door thereto, nor who fails
to keep paid up the accounts they
make Herewith. IF the Bible is
true, said Rev. Reagor, Heaven will
not be crowded, because present

the rules on Christianity are not in
harmony one with the other by no
means" The teachers of Center

spring gardens go far towards actu-
ally cutting down board bills.
Last year and the year before we
were urged to plant garden in
order to hely conserve the food
supply for the use Of the aliens.
This year there is no definite move
ment in that direction. but the sue
cess OF past experiences should be
reason enough for continuation Of
the actual economy of such gardens.
Gardens in back yards cost little
except in the effort spent in plant
ing and cultivation. They save much.
We need to save more. We may
