WORDS OF PRAISE FOR HASTINGS WOMAN Dear Editor: I want to take up a little space in your wonderful paper. I am a white woman, a true friend of the Colored race. I want to tell about a fine Colored woman, Mrs. .elhe Briscoe. The Y. W. C. A. has her picture on all the slides in all the moving picture shows in town ad vertising her as the best cook in the state of Nebraska. Mrs. Briscoe is not only a fine cook, but she is polite and pleasant to deal with. She is the smartest Colored woman, neat and clean, and is a credit to her race. Mrs. B ircoe conducts the cafeteria of the Y. W. C. A. and is head cook with six white women under her. She serves every day hundreds of people at a meal. The Y. W. C. A. is blessed to have one like her who takes an interest in her work. Thanking you very much. I remain as ever a true friend of the Colored race. . • • • • .* J South Side Notes SOLDIERS ENTERTAINED AT BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH Friday, August 1 the Queen Esther club, under Mrs. Slatter and the Vic tory club under Mrs. Dinman enter tained the South Side soldiers, who returned from over there.
