PRESBYTERIANS, LET US RALLY
We who have longed to have a
Presbyterian church established in
Omaha, now is our opportunity. Cer
tainly no organization could have
more encouraging conditions to begin
with than we. While other congre
gations have had to labor long in
order to secure means with which to
purchase a place of worship, we have
been made free from such conditions.
The Presbytery of Omaha has gra
ciously stepped in, bought an excel
lent building for us, made itself re
sponsible for the support of a min
ister for at least twelve months and
only asks that we do our part in
building up the membership. Are we
going to deliver the goods? Are we
going to allow such an opportunity
to pass by? Let me say we cannot
afford to do so. We must work hard,
each and every one of us not only
that the confidence placed in us be
not amiss, but also that we may duly
do honor to the cause of Christianity,
and do our share in the betterment of
the community.
A announced in another column,
there will be the regular services next
Sunday. Let every' Presbyterian and
friend of the cause “try and be out.”
The sermon topics will be as follows.
Morning, 11:00 a. m.—“The Faith of
tehh Faeithless;” Evening, 8:00 p. m.
—"The Power of a Name.”—Russel
Taylor.

FIRST USED IN CIVIL WAR
Idea of Divisional Insignia Is Credited
to General Joseph Hooker—Wera
Worn as Cap Ornaments.
“The divisional insignia, which was
hailed ns something of a novelty when
It was Introduced In the A. E. F„ did
not stand for an entirely new Idea In
uniform decorations for an American
army,” says the Home Sector, the ex
soldlers’ weekly. ~
"Gen. Joseph Hooker—‘Fighting
Joe’—whose record In unother Amer
ican war fought sixty years ago has
not been entirely submerged In the
vast history that grew out of that
war. hud conceived the same Insig
nia Idea, and the men of the regi
ments fighting under him In the
Civil war put on a distinctive em
blem nnd thereby established a fash
ion that was adopted by all tbe
Union forces. Tbe idea did not die
with the Civil war. for In the Span
lsh-American wnr also American sol
diers wore distinctive emblems to
show what organization they belonged
to.
“The divisional insignia as worn by
the A. E. F. was new, however. In the
details of Its wearing, for the soldiers
of the Civil war and of the Spanlsh
Amerlcan war did not wear cloth
patches on the left shoulder. Thp
fighting men of the Civil war wore
their emblems—made of metal, with
cloth centers—as cap ornaments. Tbe
soldiers of the Spanlsh-Amerlcan wur
displayed their own organization
marks—of enameled metal with a
clasp backing—pinned to their left
breast Just above the pocket flap.”
KAFFIR CHEMICAL
LABORATORIES GET
EXPERT ACCOUNTANT
Delbert V. Gordan for the Past Four
Years With the Bureau of Valuation
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, Western District, Kansas
City, Mo., Takes Up Duties With
Omaha Firm.
WELL PLEASED WITH POSITION
Delbert v. gordan, who for
the past four years has been em
ployed in the Bureau of Valuation
of the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion, Western District, with headquar
ters at Kansas City, Mo., accompan
ied by Mrs. Gordan, arrived in Omaha
Thursday to take up his duties as
expert accountant and bookkeeper for
the Kaffir Chemical Laboratories, in
corporated, and engaged in the manu
facture of pharmaceuticals, chemicals,
drugs, medicines and toilet prepara
tions. This enterprising company,
which is rapidly being recognized as
one of the coming big business enter
prises of the race, m its work of or
ganization and promotion has been
gradually lining up skillfull and com
petent persons to handle its business
in the various departments. The com -
pany a few months ago entered into
correspondence with Mr. Gordan. He
visited Omaha, looked over the Kaffir
plant, went over the entire proposi
tion with the officers of the company
and was so well pleased with the busi
ness that upon his return to Kansas
City he resigned from the Interstate
commission and accepted the position
tendered him with the Kaffir Chemical
Laboratories.
Mr. Gordan is a native of St. Louis,
Mo., and a son of D. Gordan, who for
forty years has been one of the fore
most educators of that city and is
principal of the Desslaines school. He
is a graduate of the engineering de
partment of the University of Iowa,
where he also took a post graduate
course in accounting.
Speaking of his new position with
the Kaffir Chemical Laboratories, Mr.
Gordan says, “I am well pleased with
my position and I have accepted be
cause I see the unlimited possibilities
for commercial growth and develop
ment before this company. It has a
field all its own. It is offering a
splendid line of articles to the trade
for which there is a big demand. If
I had not seen a future for the com
pany, I would not have resigned my
position with the Interstate commis
sion. There is a future for big busi
ness for our race. We must get into
it. There is no better business propo
sition before the country today in my
judgment, in which our people can
invest than the Kaffir Chemical Lab
I oratories.”

TO GARY, INDIANA
—
Two Omaha Men Favorably Im
pressed With the Industrial and
Business Opnprtiinitles Offered in
Mid-Western Steel City.
John H. Broomfield and William H.
I (Bob) Robinson have returned from
a trip to Gary, Ind., enthusiastic over
i what they saw and learned there.
The steel works are employing
thousands of colored men at wages
ranging from $6.40 to $37.50 a day.
Notice that these are daily wages,
not weekly. Unskilled laborers com
mand $6.40 a day and skilled me
chanics $37.50. “Whatever a man is
qualified to do,” says Mr. Broomfield,
“that he is given the opportunity to
do, and is paid accordingly. Houses
are tremendously scarce and people
who keep roomers keep their beds
full day and night. Men who work on
the night shift occupy them by day,
and those who work on the day shift
sleep in them at night. Colored peo
ple are in all lines of business and
nearly every store and business estab
lishment employs ono or more col
ored clerks. There is a real estate
firm which has listed over 1,700
1 pieces of property. There is a great
! future for our people in Gary.”
