thing if more of our women with
money would put it to some good use

We could see the real good that the
many women's organizations in this
city are doing. Mrs. Montgomery
stands in class by herself, for she
has the largest political working or
ganization in the city and when an

MR.. HARVEY A. WATKINS is
ONE OF THE FRIENDS OF
THE POOR PEOPLE RESIDING
IN THE SECOND WARD

Mr.. Watkins is one Of the biggest
hearted members Of the colored race in
Chicago. He has been successfully en-
gagged in the real estate business in the
Second Ward for some time His rise
in his business in the last ten years
offers one of the most romantic stories
of success against difficulties to be
found in this city of amazing achieve
ments. Twelve years ago small
trader in the little town of Harvey, he
is today one of the wealthy Negroes
Of Chicago, owning a fine home on
Michigan boulevard, much other valu-
able property, and being in every way
a credit to the community.
He has long and creditable record
in public and fraternal life, beginning
some years before he came to Chicago
One OF his outstanding accomplish
ments in the last few years, outside his
business, has been the founding and
the building up Of the Sunday Evening
club OF the Metropolitan Community
Church, a forum to which he brought
some OF the brightest minds in Amer
lea.
He has been active in politics and
was for several years a prominent
member Of the regular Republican or
ganization OF the Second Ward. Last
year, however, he withdrew, and a few
weeks ago, he announced to the pub
lie that he is a candidate for alder
man of the Second Ward, flying the
banner Of William Hale Thompson
Perhaps his most helpful work, how
ever, outside his business, his church
and politics, has been done in the aid
of worthy causes. He is a member
OF the committee OF management Of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, to which he contributes literally
annually, and his wife is a member Of
the committee of management of the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton, to which he also contributes.
There is practically no creditable or
ganization in our midst that has not
telt the bounty Of his good hand. For
the last four years he has given the
poor children of the district a picnic,
and each summer has found him CO.
operating with the Salvation army in
an outing for nearly two thousand
children held at 127th and Michigan.
In addition to the party which he gave
for poor children on Christmas eve day
this year, he has maintained his an
nual custom of giving baskets to
needy families, and this year more than
IS baskets have been sent out. 1t is
for such efforts as these, he explains,
that he does all his other work.
Il am happiest when making others
happy" he declares. Il wish Christ

Not only do Mr. and Mrs. Jesse

and happiness to the children and the
members Of the Old Folks Home
On last Thursday afternoon, TWEEN
ty-three aged men and women OF the
Old Folks Home were entertained by
Mrs. Binga at her sixteenth annual
Christmas Party for them. And what
a glorious occasion it was! A large
Christmas tree, beautifully decorated
and laden with gifts for everyone.
Each inmate had written letter to
Santa Claus a month ago, stating what
he or she wished, and each received
the desired gift. There were dresses,
warm under garments, shoes, shirts,
aprons, and stockings.
A splendid program, under the di-
rection OF Mrs. Laura Bradford, was
rendered Musical numbers were fur
nished by the quartette from Berean
Baptist Church, accompanied by Miss
Estella Bonds; selections by Harrison
FerrelPs orchestra; piano solo, Miss
Margaret Bonds; reading, by little Al
win Cannon. Talks were made by At
torney Eugene j. Marshall and Mrs.
Horace Bronston.
Each guest was also given box OF
candy and ice cream and cake served
in abundance. One dear old lady,
seventy-seven years old, gratefully ex-
claimed that this was the happiest
Christmas she had ever spent. As
sisting Mrs. Binga were Mrs. Lulu
Lawson and the Misses Helen and
Margaret Bonds.
And continuing the Binga spirit of
good will, was the children'3 party at

hundred children had the time OF their

automobiles, electric trains, horns and
whistles. Ice cream and cake. Such
riot of fun.

pupils, violin solo by Nelmatilda Rit-
chic and recitation by Alvin Cannon
Mr.. Binga personally presented
each child with a gift. We thank God
for Christmas, but we also thank Him
for Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Binga, whose
