WHY THE NEGRO
SHOULD BELONG TO THE
AMERICAN LEGION

At the outset we are reminded of
the oft repeated assertion that Ne
groes are not welcome in the Legion
Well, where are they wholeheartedly
welcomed when the white American
is in control? But should, or does,
that spirit of opposition usually stop
our efforts to get that which is right
fully ours? Then why should it do
so in this instance? The Legion is
an organization of and for those who
did their Bit in the recent World
War, without regard to Race or
Greed. Its avowed purposes are to
uphold and defend the Constitution;
to maintain law and ORDER to
make right the master of might to
promote peace and goodwill; to
safeguard . = the principles
of justice and freedom; to 'conse-
crate and sanctify our comradeship.'
Do. not we, as individuals, as a
race, stand in special need of an Or
ganization that will 'sound-off' in
such iclear, unequivocal language?
Here is mighty, powerful organiza-
ton holding out those things which
we cherish most, almost pleading
that we join hands and assist in the
putting over of our own platform.
They shout aloud that the entire
world may hear, that they stand
squarely on the principles of civil and
legal equality as well as the equality
of opportunity for every individual to
seek, and gain, his own development
and happiness. If we fail to grasp
the chance to urge and compel the
vitalizing of these splendid PROPOSE
tions, upon whom lies the blame?
Cant! Hypocrisy! Say you so? Then
let us get within the fold and see
that the game is played according to
profestation. No battles may we win
outside; come in and do your kick
ing where it can do the most good.
Bear in mind you will find many big,
clean, broadminded men in the Lee
gion who recognize wrong, error and
falseness; they are ready and anx-
ious to make the Legion everything
it claims to be. Your presence and
activity will bring to such Legion
naires encouragements, strength and
the determination to lift the Legion
to the heights whereon it's banners
are set.
Every eligible among us owes it
not only to himself, but to the entire
Race to affiliate.
The Membership Drive in the Fourth
District.

ice, signed by the National Comman-

quick and we will win the Depart

These are well worth having.

GRAIN MARKET.
(Bv Dispatch A. P. wiren

CHICAGO, May 26.-Excited bidding
for scanty offerings forced jump of
I5H cents bshel in price today for
May delivery of wheat. Closing quo
tations for the wheat market as a
whole ere decidedly nervous at the
days top figures, varying from "a
cent to 5% cents net higher Corn
finished unchanged to u cent lower,
oats unchanged to Il cent up, and
provisions showing cents to 20 cents
advance.
Violence of the upturn in May
wheat values led to assertions in
some quarters that the aggregate of
outstanding accounts which. must he
settled this week is arger than has
generally been supposed.
About 100000 bushels of this
amount appeared to have been evened
up in he trading pit today chiefly in
the last few minutes, and there were
dliveries today of about a quarter
million bushels in addition to fill May
contracts. Moreover, a trainload or
wheat was reported on the way here
from Kansas City and another from
Omaha. Nevertheless it was estia
mated that owing to the smallness
of the Chicago stock of wheat the
shortage which must be struggled
over in the pit in the next three days
and fought out as ito what prices
shall be paid is yet high up in mil
lions of bushels, possibly 1O0OOOO0 to
100000 bushels. A disturbing fac
tor today was that wheat arriving
here both from the southwest and
from the northwest as we'll was grad
ing poorly and was leading to diff
culties instead of facilitating of ad-
justment of open May accounts
Unfavorable crop reports from the
northwest, together with word that
exporters had taken 100000 bushels
today of Canadian wheat for shipment
to Europe, added to he upward i'm
petus of wheat prices. 1t was noted
also that foreigners were active buy
ers of future deliveries here. At to-
days close, May wheat was at a
premium of 3O% cents bushel over
July, the widest difference so far this
season.
Larger offerings of corn TO arrive
here, chiefly from Illinois points, had
a bearish effect on the corn market
Oats were relatively firm, owing to
need of rain in some sections.
Packers buying helped to lift the
provision market.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Constructive
forces were again at work in todays
stock market, which moved to higher
ground under the leadership of the

One of the significant features of the
day was the increase in public par

shares being the largest since May 3.
Bullish sentiment was created by
the lowering of call money rates, an
advance of So ton in the United
States Steel corporations price for
steel bars, the announcement that
fright car loadings crossed the mil
lion mark for the first time this year
in the week ended May Is, and the
American Petroleum Institutes report
of a decrease of 11,7OO barrels in the
daily average of gross crude oil pro-
duction asst week.
The weekly steel trade reviews re-
ported that May business continues to
run ahead of the April figures.
United States Steel common closed u
point higher at 1924, after having
touched 123. Gulf States, Sloss-S Shelf
field and Republic each advanced d
point or more.
Pan-American "B" was again the
leader of the oil group, closing nearly
two points higher at 71%. Mt gains
of a point or so also were recorded
by Associated Oil, Barnsdall "a" and
'B,' California Petroleum, General
Asphalt, General Petroleum, Houston,
Producers and Refiners, Pure Oil, Sun
Oil and Standard Oil of California, the
asst named crossing So to a new high.
Specialties for which there was
good demand included American Zinc
preferred, Colorado Fuel, National
Distillers, Remington Typew writ r,
Southern Dairies "a" and U. S. Cast
Iron Pipe.
Buying of he rails centered in such
issues as New York Central, Erie first

markets. Cotton advanced

Call money renewed at 4 per cent
and then dropped to 3R, closing at
the low figure. Time money and COM
mercial paper rates were unchanged.
Foreign exchanges were irregular,
with jump of II points to 14.79
cents in Spanish pestas as the chief
feature Demand sterling ruled firm
