Army Drops To 3rd Place

NEW YORK, Nov. 2-R)-Foot-
ball results so far this season have
given the gridiron experts pref
ty clear idea Of where most of
the power is to be found. And in

the ranking list but they receiv-

Southern California in close con-
test for second place. Pennsyl-
vania, Michigan, Navy, lava Pre-
Flight, Duge and the College OF
the Pacific, in that order, COM
pieted the first ten.
What the rankings failed to give,
however, was picture OF where
the teams may stand in another
week. Notre Dame losing Angelo
Bertelli, Purdue losing Tony But
kovich and Michigan losing Bill
Daley through Marine-Navy trans
fers and most of the other lead
ing clubs suffering as well, there
is prospect of more than one
upset next Saturday.
Notre Dame plays its big
game of the season this week
against Army in New York and
the Cadets always give one of
their best performances against
the Irish. Army dropped from sec
end place in the rankings to third
after it's 1918 tie with Penn, but

A Dog Thot Herds
Chickens

4 IANY an amazed citizen Of
M the state OF Maine has
IN leaned across the poultry
fence Of Mr.. and Mrs William
Simmons of Warren and after
watching their dog Jack do his
stuff. has asked "Whatll you
take for that dog ?"
And invariably. the proud
owners call back, Money can't
buy him. That's because the
13-year-old albino spaniel is one
canine in a million.
Jack is ms good as an extra
hand. + cry night he herds the
small chickens on the range into
their right hover houses Let "a
rainstorm threaten and the dog
is right on the job, getting the
little feathorcd creatures i'm
under shelters SO they won't get
frightened and bunch all up to-
gether i'm the wet grass and die
If he has 10 pick up one Of his
tiny charges in his mouth Jack
is SO gentle that he never fright
ems it nor gets its down wet
One night recently, when the
family was away, Jack put 500
chickens TO bed alone. NOn an
other occasion, the dog herded
900 under cover before a rain
storm arrived.
Mr.. Simmons always takes
Jack into the brooder house
when the chicks are one day old
so that they don't get frightened
later when he works with them.

Mt. Olivet Postor
Now Domiciled in
New PARSONAGE

Rev. and Mrs. C. B. Wheeler, who
formerly lived at 4S5 Rondo, are
now very comfortably situated in
the redecorated parsonage of the
Mt. olivet Baptist Church at 522
W. Central Avenue.
This parsonage, which contains
eight rooms and a bath, has been
remodeled, was the property of the
late Mrs. Mabel Lee. Mrs. Lee, who
was a faithful member of the Mt.
olivet Church, bequeathed the prop
erty to the church to be used as
parsonage. Two rooms in the build
ing will be used for the meetings
of small groups of the church.
An "open house" will be held at
the parsonage on Sunday, Jan. 16,
1914. With the acquisition of this
property the Mt. olivet Church now
has one Of the best parsonages in
the community. Rev. and Mrs.
Wheeler are in their fourth year at
the Mt. olivet Church.

Woodland Funeral
Home Well
Equipped

The Woodland Funeral Home, es-
tablished December, 1888, at 1926
Sixth Ave. No., had but one service
car and limited equipment for han
ding funerals. Careful manage
ment on the part of the owner has
successfully brought the establish
ment to a point where it is now rec
ognized as being the best equipped
funeral home west of Chicago
owned by a Negro.
The Woodland Funeral Home now
has three service cars, owns its own
hearse and possesses a rolling
stock for convenient service to
patrons. The two cars and the
hearse are driven by persons of the
group during a funeral procession.
The establishment furnishes en-
ployment for four persons other
than its owner. Mr.. Leonard Mad
den, well known to many, has
Joined the Woodland Funeral Home
staff since returning from the
armed services.
For the past two weeks the fun
eral parlor has been undergoing
complete interior decorating and
new improvements throughout the
entire building. Many new and mod
ern facilities which go for the max
ing of an up-to-date funeral estab-
lishment have been added. In OBJ
servance of its eleventh anniver-
sary, the home is now open to the
public for inspection at all times.

To this l say-the combined an
nual income of hundreds of Negroes
who have obtained jobs either di-
rectly or indirectly through the
Leagues Efforts is many times
$5,6O7. This means that many fam
lies incomes have been increased;
standards of living have been
raised; savings have and are being
accumulated and not the least, indi-
vidual self-respect has been raised
and morale improved. When one
thinks of the hundreds of persons
in Minneapolis who have become
acquainted with the Negro and his
problem for the first time through
the Leagues efforts and of the good
will and cooperation which has &C.
crued to the Negro as a result, one
can only say that for a person to be-
grudge the League $5,6O7 a year he
must be a ScrOoge of the meanest.
In conclusion 1 might say that
/ am neither concerned nor do /
care whether this letter is given
space in your paper. What l am
concerned about is this-you and l
as Negroes have certain response
bilities which no nOn-NegrO has.
Often our individual behavior and
expressed thoughts are accepted by
the majority group as typical of the
acts and thinking of all Negroes. 1
fear that your editorial has already
been accepted by some as such.
There is no doubt in my mind that
harm has been done. 1t takes no
great ability to tear down and de-
stroy. What we need is builders.
Let US recognize our institutions
for their true and potential values
and then do all we can as indi-
viduals to further those ideals for
which our institutions were founded.
Very truly yours,
LEO BOHANON,
1886 Fifth Ave. So.
