Praises Bulletin

Gopher Lodge No. los, 1. B. p. o.
E. W., and Como Temple No. 1913,
Daughters of Elks, presented to the
Bulletin a generous check out of ap-
probation for the publicity given
them in their convention plans. The
Lodge and Temple felt that the earn
est effort of the Bulletin in helping
put over their project was well wor-
thy of their consideration. The Bull
letin felt and does yet feel, that or
ganizations so great as Gopher Lodge
No. los and Como Temple No. 1913,
because of their usefulness in the
community, are worthy of the high
est degree of praise and exemplified
its belief by contributing its space to
the advantage of both organizations.
The Bulletin is a supporter of any
thing progressive and for that rea-
son gave it's best for Gopher Lodge
los and Como Temple 1913.

Makes Record Drive
With Packard Twin

George Nesbit, chauffeur for E. o.
Blekre, president of the Blekre Tire
company, is credited with covering
the distance between Milwaukee,
Wis, and Minneapolis in less than
thirteen hours. Mr.. Blekre and fam
lily had motored to Chicago and were
returning home. Being somewhat
weary of the trip, he requested Mes
bit to see how quickly, yet, carefully
they could be gotten home. On ar
irving in Minneapolis, Mr.. Blekre
said: "Nesbit made record for
careful driving, and l consider my
family quite safe. when he is at the
wheel He is one Of the best chauf-
feurs in the Twin Cities and has been
with me for some time" The Blekre
Tire company employs several race
men; some as statesmen, Fred Baker
being their official choice.
George Nesbit is well known in the
Twin Cities as one Of the popular
men of the younger set. The record
he made between Milwaukee and the
Twin Cities was accomplished with a
Packard Twin Six. The party left
Milwaukee at $3.50 A. M. and arrived

"ShuNe Along"
Opens in Canada
(By the Associated Negro Press)

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Toronto, Can; Sept. 14.-"Shuffle
Along" the famous All-Colored mu-
sical revue, starring Sissle G Blake,
opened at the Royal Alexandria, Can
ada's finest theatre, this week, and
despite the Exhibition counter-at-
fractions, drew crowded houses.
The excellent singing, exquisite
dancing, and the good-natured, clean
humor furnished by this gorgeously
costumed company in a setting of the
most lavish scenery that ever graced
a Canadian stage had an electrical
effect on the exacting Toronto So
ciety audiences, who are steady pa
irons of the Royal and who rarely
have an opportunity of reviewing an
All-Colored production.
Half columns of Toronto's daily
papers are devoted to highly compli-
mentary reviews of this Big Dixie
Hit, as they term it.

CLASH
WITH RED SOXS

The Uptown Sanitarys will cross
bats with the Askin & Marine Red
Sox of Minneapolis at Lexington
Park Sunday, Sept. 23rd, and Mon
day, the oath, at Nicollet Park in

these two clubs in the past three sea-

NOTHING SPARED
IN PUTTING ON
NEXT EXPOSITION
November to Witness Second
Annual Exposition Held by
Local Business League.
COMMITTEE PLANS FOR
GREATEST EVER EVENT
Every Commercial Business of
Race in st. Paul Urged to
Become Members.

The Annual Exhibit of the st. Paul
Negro Business league, which will be
held in November, is developing into
what Is believed will be the best ever.
The promoters are working daily get
ting everything in form for the
grand event. The numerous reserva-
tions already made proves conclusive
ly that the interest created at the
last exposition has been augmented
during the past several months. One
of the phases that was, in a measure,
disappointing at the last exposition,
inadequacy of space, will be remedied
at the November exposition this year.
Sufficient space to accommodate all
exhibitors is being provided also to
take care of the hundreds of specta-
tors who will be in attendance.
Nothing Being Spared.
The committee on promotion is
sparing nothing to make the coming
event even greater than last year.
1t will be we'll remembered that
Union hall was taxed to overfiowing
capacity and hundreds turned away.
The various merchants of the city
will have their commodities on dis
play. The Style Show, which was
such big hit last year, will be re-
peated with many newly added fea-
lures and more models.
Every member of the local body is
lending aid to the committee in bring
ing about the desired success.
Membership Opened.
Many of our group, who are en-
gagged in commercial activities, have
not as yet become members of the
league. Probably it is lack of knowl-
edge or lack of interest concerning
the advantages of the league. The
worth of the local body is obvious to
all present members and each of them
will gladly give any information rela
tive to the functions of the league.
Every enthusiastic race person in st.
Paul should be member of the local
body. The new members will be of
great assistance in putting over the
exposition in November as well as do
ing much to better their own business
status.

NEGRO BUSINESS
and RACE BANKS
co HAND IN HAND
Banker-Minister Urges Closer
Co-operation-Best Efforts
to Maintain.
(By the Associated Negro Press)

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 14-One of the
most helpful speeches delivered at
the recent convention of the National
Negro Business League held in Hot
Springs, was that of the Rev. M. S.
Hunter, president of the Steel City
Banking Company, Pittsburgh, Pa,
and president of the Pittsburgh
American Publishing Company.
Mr.. Hunters speech was about
Negro banks and Negro business. He
asked for closer cooperation among
banks and business and pointed to
what had been difficulties in the past
in both branches of endeavor. Ne
groes' banks face the problem of a
double standard. In treating with
white banking concerns, those big in
terests designed to protect the white
banker, Negroes must always face
the discount and discredit of their
color, as conceived by the whites.
They do not have, nor have they been
able to get, the support they are en-
titled to.
This difficulty is only going to be
surmounted by the Negro bankers
getting together among themselves in
an effort to protect themselves in
the manner white banks protect one
another.
Should Aid Business
Negro banks should aid Negro
business enterprises more than they
do, the Pittsburgh banker declared.
He also asserted that Negro business
es should be regulated and system
atized more than they are.
''The average Negro business en-
terprise," he explained, docs not de-
termine it's success from a well kept
set of books. but rather by the mana
ger or proprietor being able to keep
his doors open from month to month,
whether the business is producing
sufficient finance to do so, or whether
he is borrowing the money or in
creasing his credit to meet his bills.
He feels that so long as he can keep
the creditors off and his doors open
and some merchandise in the house,
he is succeeding in business.
1--WE feel that a model banking
institution as the outgrowth of our
unit banks, with a program designed
to make it possible for our unit banks
to give to Negro business enterprises
a stronger and closer financial sup
port, could very easily design a sim
pie form of bookkeeping that could
be easily installed in every business
enterprise seeking support, whereby
the banker could easily arrive at the
commercial worth of the enterprise
applying for help. 1t is the duty of
our bankers to teach our business
men the Importance of keeping a
simple set of books, so as to form a
basis for commercial rating and
credit without real estate endorse
ment.

Of WELL KNOWN
INDUSTRIAL MAN
Well Known Citizen and Labor
Leader Dead After Four
Months Illness.
KNOWN AS
SPONSOR OF LABORERS
Funeral Services Delayed Until
Monday Pending Arrival
of Relatives.

The entire community was shocked
on Thursday morning when Charles
E. James, we'll known citizen of 632
West Central avenue, passed away at
his home about 10 o'clock.
Although i'll for the past four
months with heart trouble, Mr..
James had rallied at intervals and
seemed to be improving. He was
laughing and talking when stricken,
and the end came peacefully.
Mr.. James was born in st. Paul
and was the son of Edward and
Louise James, pioneer members of
the Church of the Good Sheppard,
the Oldest Episcopal church in St.
Paul. At the time of his death he
was 81 years of age.
Active Labor Man.
AS president of the Trades and La
Dor Assembly, he was active in st.
Paul labor circles, acting as a mem
Der of the national board of the Shoe
Workers union for twenty years. He
had travelled extensively and was
well known from coast to coast.
Besides n devoted wife and daugh-
ter Loucelia, he is survived by three
sisters, Mrs. Addie Howard of this
city, Mrs. Robert Taylor of Des
PLANES, ILL.,, and Gertrude James of
Chicago and two brothers, George
and Earl o., both of st. Paul.
The bereaved family has the SYM
pathy of large circle of friends who
mourn the loss of a good citizen.
Pending the arrival of relatives,
the funeral will not be held until
Monday afternoon, and will take
place at $3.50 from his late residence.
Mrs. T. H. Lyles of Lyles' under
taking chapel will have charge of the
funeral arrangements.

New England Pres.
Dies of Apoplexy

William L. Harris, president and
founder of the New England Furni-

the Northwest's best. known mer-
chants, fell dead of apoplexy on Sixth
street, between Nicollet and Henne-
pin avenues, Tuesday noon, while on
his way to lunch -.... ~
Mr.. Harris was walking alone at
the time. AS he crossed the alley en-
trance near the Warner Hardware
company, 13 Sixth street south, Mr..
Harris was seen by pedestrians to
hesitate a second. Then he plunged
forward on his face.
Mr.. Harris presumably was in the
best of health Tuesday morning. He
arrived at his office, Fifth street and
First avenue north, at the usual time
and conferred with other officers Of
the company and group of business
men who had called upon him.

Friend of Race.

Mr.. Harris had been for many
years a well known merchant to the
race in Minneapolis. His fairness in
dealings brought many to the New
England. Mr.. Harris knew neither
race nor color in his store, but strove
to have every customer satisfied.
Many race people purchased the notes
floated by the company during the
past two years. We seriously regret
the untimely death of our friend Mr..
Harris, as he was truly a friend of
the race at all times and never failed
to give the utmost consideration to
every customer.

WAS NOTED MISSIONARY
AND WORKED IN LIBERIA

Mrs. Nora F. Taylor, grand daugh-
ter Ruler of the Elks, who was elect
ed at the convention in Chicago, died
suddenly at her home in Chicago
Monday evening at 8 o'clock. Her
untimely death came as a shock to
her many friends, also the fraternal
circles, especially Elkdom. Mrs.
Taylor was very prominent in Evan
gelistic work as a Missionary in Lii
IBERIA, always giving her very best ef-
forts in anything of which she was a
part.
Defeated Former Ruler.
Mrs. Taylor was commented on at
the convention as follows:
The most surprising thing, of
course. was the defeat of Daughter
Mamie Hodges for the Office of grand
daughter ruler. For fifteen years
she has successfully defeated every
aspirant for her throne, but early the
word was being passed that she was
to go, and when election time came
the opposition had manned their
forces in sufficient numbers to elect
Daughter Nora Taylor OF Chicago by
over 100 majority. Daughter Taylor
is a noted Evangelist and has done
great work in the order. She is a
brilliant speaker and will, no doubt,
be remembered by many in the Twin
Cities who had the pleasure of listen
ing to her a year ago.
Contracted Fever.
Mrs. Taylor had recently returned
from Liberia, where she had organ
lied a Temple of Daughter Elks. 1t
was while in Liberia she contracted
the fever that later proved fatal. Her
success in organizing the Temple un-
der adverse circumstances was one of
merit.
Como Temple No. 1913, st. Paul,
sent their Daughter Ruler Mrs. Nata-
lie Johnson to be present at the last
rites in Chicago Friday. Daughter
Force of Minneapolis will represent
Minnehaha Temple No. 129. The Of
fee of grand daughter ruler will be
held by Vice Daughter Ruler Mrs.

BEST IDAHO STEER
SEEKS new HONORS
E-DAH-HO, GRAND CHAMPION AT
PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EN-
TERED KANSAS CITY, CHICAGO

E-dah-ho, the University of Idaho's
purebred Shorthorn junior calf, grand
champion steer over all breeds and
ages at the Pacific International
Livestock exposition at Portland this
fall, is being entered in the American
Royal Livestock show at Kansas City
and the International Livestock ex-
position at Chicago. E-dah-ho was
conceded by judges and livestock au-
thorities to be an easy winner at
Portland despite the steer show be-
ing one of the largest in years.
E-dah-ho was shipped to Kansas
City from Portland, with carload of
Shorthorns which F. M. Rothrock,
Spokane breeder is entering in the
two eastern shows.
Good Showing Expected
Provided he stands the trip E-dah-
ho is expected to make a creditable
showing against the prize cattle of
the east. The Kansas City show,
coming November II to "a, allows
but two days rest after the arrival of
the western entries from Portland.
The Chicago exposition opens De-
cember 1 for one week. The period
between the two shows will be well
coined by the western breeders.
E-dah-ho is the only University of
Idaho entry in the eastern shown He
will probably be sold after the Chi
cago exposition.
