and there is Mrs. Rogers who does
the cooking, but honey when it comes
TO Mrs. H. w. Conrad it is them all
combined. She Is a wonderful woman.
and although she is not well she IS
making plans for the work while un-
able to walk. She is a true Ken
tuckian, and when I tell you this I

AS am here. thinking Of what is
going on, am reminded that the Ma
tional Negro Business League IS to
meet in this state at Tulsa in a short
time and it is going to Be one more
great meeting. It will meet August
~, and think you should plan to be
there. Dr. Robert R. Motion, the
president, has many things to bring
before you in this session which will
be helpful to you and do you much
good. They will help the whole race
up the hill. Tulsa is going to put the
big pot in the little one. Will you Be
there?
Every Pythian in the country
should be represented in the meeting
in Louisville. I do not mean to say
that all should Be there, for that would
cause Louisville to run over, but he
Should be represented. The supreme
Lodge in Louisville will be the great
est session in its history, and there
will be more involved in the meeting.
They are going to talk in terms Of
millions. 1t is now getting in the
millionaire class, for the building in
Chicago will cost a million and half,
and then there is the Pythian bath in
Hot Springs costing 100000, and it
doth not yet appear ali it will be under
the management Of Supreme Chan
cellor S. w. Green Of New Orleans.
A wonderful man. This is another
meeting in August and I hope to be
there to help to see the work we'll
done.

to march to the tune Of 10000, but
| just how this will be | do not know
just now, but they are going in there.
Some will only remain two days, but
they will be there and will tell the
world they were at the National Bap-
fist Convention.
The Baptists have been doing great
things under the leadership Of DIR. L.
X. Williams, who was born to lead.
