The Monitor, Omaha, Nebr. Dear Mr. Editor: I am writing you to let you and my Omaha friends know how I am getting along with my orchestra since I left three weejcs ago. I landed a job with the best white burlesque show on the Amer ican Wheel Circuit for my “band,” as they call it here in the east. It will be billed as Maceo Pinkard’s Jazz Band. I have with me, Vernon Rou lette, Nathan Ford, Andrew Rennick, with myself at the piano. We scored a big sensation at the Empress Theatre in Englewood and everyone wanted to know where we came from. We will be with this company all this season and about June 15 w'ill play in Cleveland, Ohio, at a summer resort. Send us The Monitor weekly. •Tunefully, Maceo Tinkard’s Jazz Band. CLUB THANKS PUBLIC Omaha, Neb., April 17, 1917. Editor Monitor: We, the members of the Silver Leaf club of Mount Moriah Baptist church, wish to thank the public for their pa tronage at our entertainment given Saturday night, April 14, at the resi dence of Sister E. Butler and which was such a grand success. ELLA WATSON, President; SADIE CATTOM, Secretary. COLORED AMERICANS! Noblesse Oblige; Our County Calls; Defend Your Record. (Continued From First Page) that will be absolutely irresistible. Above all, there will be the conscious ness of having done one’s full duty as a man, to God, to home and father land. Before self-effacing patriotism, which does its full duty in spite of disabilities and glaring injustices which chill true patriots to the very marrow, no barrier can stand. Colored Americans, noblesse oblige. We have a record to defend, no trea son to atone. Let us show that our patriotism, like our Americanism, is without alloy. Volunteer—enlist. Show that no conscription is necessary for the race which has never produced an anarchist or traitor to defend our country, as we have always done when the country had need of us, despite the fact that our country has not dealt with us as native sons, but lias treated us as aliens. Colored Americans, noblesse ob lige. Our country needs us. Defend your record. LODGE DIRECTORY Omaha Lodge No. 146, A. F. and A. M., Omaha, Neb. Meetings first and third Fridays of every month.

C., but now president of the Omaha Electric Light and Power company, was published by mistake in last week’s Monitor. The proofreader marked it “kill,” but it was allowed to live.
