> and our immediate group have been
i» •
l blessed with a clean sport promoter.

the Colored ball players and pugllsts
[ have been introduced to the Omaha
! public. John Boyle has brought to

ored ball teams, and has promoted
' such clean, healthy, sportBman-like
.exhibitions of ^boxing as was given
, when Sam Langford met Bearcat
' Wright at the ball park. That is not
all, for Mr. Boyle has In store many
more wonderful exhibiions featuring
the Colored youth. In his every day
j walk of life, as superintendent at the
Armour Packing Co.’s plant he has un
;stintingly shown many courtesies to
jour boys.
Y. W. A >OTEN
God is continually raising up
friends for the Young Women’s
Christian Association in Omaha.
Manifestations of this are to be seen
in the many added comforts around
the center. Often do we have individ
uals to come fotrh and volunteer their
services to do something for the “Y.”
They count it a privilege and we ap
preciate the spirit. Interest is grow
ing and spreading among the masses
of people in Omaha which is a reali
zation of our fond hopes and earnest
prayers.
Let us continue to organize our for
ces for a good purpose and let that
purpose be our “test.” Let the test
be ‘‘Christ.’’ When women through
prayer undertake a great adventure,
then at ouce are they sisters in arms
with all the loyalty and trust and love
that the noble phrase implies. Join
in this great wor' ' sister-hood with
your prayers and boost for th„ Y. W.
C. A. Branch for our girls. We need
you.
The Education and Recreation com
mittees are planning a full program
of classes to begin in the fall. We will
be pleased to have you send in to the
Secretary suggestions of classes that j
you would enjoy.
The Religious eommitlee hopes to
establish classes and a lecture course
that will help in creating a thorough
knowledge of Biblical facts and help
to encourage workers for the Sunday
Schools.
Soon you will enjoy the electric
lights at the entrance which Mrs.
Lawrie and Iter faithful club mem
bers arc planning. The club is serving
dinner each Sunday in August to as
sist in raising funds. A special din
ner will be served Sunday, August 14.

An indoor circus is the plan of the
Girl's Work committee to be given by
all the groups of the Girl Reserves,
Wednesday, August 17th. The girls)
are hoping to send delegates to the i
Lake Okoboji Camp. So happy are;
they and anxious for the time of go-;
ing that the Premiere group is sing
ing:
“At Okoboji”
“On a grassy bank there stands a!
camp try Okoboji shore.
Surely you have heard before. Shall
1 tell you more?
Its a place qf rest that God lias blest )
To equal it there is none.
So come be happy. Make it snappy.
Ain’t-we got fun!
Chorus
When we go to Okoboji -Ain't we got

There’s all kinds of sport, O gee,
ain’t we got fun!
We go out rowing, and hiking too
And there is nothing that we don’t
do.

THE BOV SPOUTS’ PICNIC.
Troop 23, Boy Scouts, had a great
day last Frida#’ at Elmwood park,
although the rain, earlier in the day,
detracted from the attendance. The
occasion was the picnic sponsored by
the Colored Commercial Club. The
commissioner, Mrs. Grace M. Hutten,
assisted by Mesdames Craig Morris
and i). W. Gooden, saw to it that there
should be no hungry Scout or visitor
around the long table which literally
groaned under its weight of "good
eats,” sandwiches, baked beans, cook
ies. bananas, plums, etc., generously
supplied by Omaha merchants. Scout
master Or. Craig Morris and Scout
Supervise” Gendol were busy men, as
were also Drs. Peebles and Gooden, j
T. P. Mahammitt and Rev. John Albert
Williams, of the executive committee
of Troop 23, in supervising the ath
letic events.
The first event, a 50-yard free-for |
all race, was won by John Wesley |
Beasley; prize, a leather belt. In the'
second, a free-for-all, same distance,
John Sims and Charley Wright tied
for first place, but Sims won in the
run-off; prize, a flashlight. The third
event was a 220-race for Scouts only;
winner, Jesse Hutten; prize, a Scout’s
axe. In the chariot race the pranc
ing steeds. Foster Scott, John Beasley,
Henry Gordon and Jesse Hutten, were
driven to victory by Eldridge Irving,
the driver crossing the pole ahead of
his horBes in the close and exciting
finish. The 50-yard dash for Scouts
only was won by Valvin Whiteside;
prize, -; and the 220-yard
race by John Sims; prize -.'
In the bicycle race, Jesse Hutten
was winner; prize, a compass. The
tug-of-war, captained by Foster Scott
and composed of Jesse Hutten, Tom
Chandler, Joe Dorsey, Eldrige Irving
and Dwight Dorsey, were winners;
prizes, neckties for all the team. The
losing team was captained by John
Beasley, anil comprised Valvin White
side, John Sims, James Jewell, Char- [
ley Wright and Joseph Dorsey; they
were given a prize for having con- .
structed the most useful thing during
the season, a bird house, in which '
they raised a family of wrens.

APPEAL
Tulsa’s Colored People have not the earnest atten
tion of the nation, because the associated press reports do
not state in a manner, that will.stimulate a desire to give
relief, the cruel conditions that have and do exist. Offi
cial Tulsa and therefore Tulsa at large is NOT helping in
proportion to the appalling need. People are without
stoves, cooking utensils, quilts and bedding of all kinds—
the merest necessities of existence—and ready money.
ALL THEY HAVE LEFT IS COURAGE TO FACE THE
FUTURE.
Mr. James L. Fieser, Southwestern Division Manag
er of the Red Cross said: “Winter’s approach worries the
Red Cross.’* Unless Tulsa wishes to have a tent colony on
its hands in the fall and face a more serious problem, it
should speed up its reconstruction program. He sees a
big job ahead here for Tulsans and that now the financial
end of the undertaking is the most important feature.
MONEY IS NEEDED FOR RELIEF AND NEEDED
BADLY.
