A THOUGHT FOB THE WEBS I would be TRUE for there are those who trust me, I would be PURE for there are those who care. I would be STRONG for there is much to suffer, I would be BRAVE for there is much to dare, I would be FRIEND to all the many friendless, I would be GIVING and forget the gift, I would be HUMBLE for I know my weakness, I would LOOK UP, and laugh and love and lift —Howard Walter. BOYS’ WEEK J^EXT week is to be observed as Boys’ Week. Its purpose to make the community realize what a valuable asset it has in boyhood and to de velop and conserve this asset. It is also designed to make the boy realize his worth to the community and to address himself to the earnest task of making himself all that he should be. A full program, beginning, where it should begin, Sunday, with the boy’s religious life, and' continuing through out the week, emphasizing all phases of his life and activities h&a been planned. Omaha is most fortunate in that the Men's Service League, which is spon soring this worth-while movement, is composed of many of Omaha’s biggest men, physically, morally and mental ly, and such men do things in the right way. The program includes all the boys of Omaha, without respect to race or creed. ———m—arani.ju u All citizens will enthusiastically par ticipate in this great movement for the conservation of the potential man hood of the nation. Speaking for our own group, we feel confident that parents and chil dren will lend their hearty co-opera tion in helping to make the results of Boys’ Week all that its promoters desire it to be. CAS SUPPLY COLOR lyjcADOO says the democratic party cannot afford to nominate as its presidential standard bearer any col orless candidate. The Monitor respectfully suggests that if the democrats are really sin cere in seeking a candidate who is not “colorless” there are many able men among our group who can qual ify for the job both in pigmentation and brains. CLEAN UP, PAINT UP 'J’HIS is a good slogan which all self respecting citizens will be glad to heed. Rakes and hoeg and paint brushes are very much in evi dence these days among our forward looking and progressive citizens. And have you noticed how many of these implements of industry, cleanliness and beauty are being dexteriusly wielded by the hands of women? A DIFFERENCE MANY of our people who are loud est in their talk of race pride are found wanting when it comes to show their race pride by patronizing race enterprises. There’s a vast difference between word and deed. PLANT KHItl'BS AND PLOWEBS 0“R people, as a rule, love beauty. Bright colors attract us. This furn ishes much fun-making. Never mind that. Better be too garish, than too dull. Where there is a genuine love of beauty, there will instinctively come a toning down and a harmoni ous blending. Let’s beautify our grounds. Plant shrubs and flowers. Who among us will bave the most beautiful premises? Let everybody plant flowers, shrubs and vines even though this has to be done, where there is no other place in window boxes. LINCOLN NEWS AND COMMENT Easter was observed in all churches —all giving appropriate programs. Rev. I. B. Smith was called to Has tings last Monday where he preached at the funeral of J. S. Craig, a prom inent citizen of that city. Mr. Craig was a member of Marvin Lodge No. 5, A. F. & A. M., of that place, one of the organizers of the Baptist church and was formerly well to do. We are sorry to learn of the con tinued illness of Mr. John Huff at Hastings. Mre. Melissa Harding of Chilocotha, Mo., is visitisg her daughter, Mrs. J. A. Patrick, here. Easter services were begun early at Mt. Zion Baptist church, the first sendees being held at 6 a. m. and following Sunday school. The children rendered a fine program, consisting of songs and recitations, which was greatly enjoyed by all. The pastor preached at 12 o’clock, his subject be ing “Risen Christ”. Immeditely fol lowing the B. Y. P. U. at night the choir presented the cantata, “The Risen Christ”, which was without a doubt most excellantly rendered un der the direction of Miss Opal Ash ford, and Mrs. Nettie McDonald at the piano. Miss Ashford’s voice was clear and modulate. Each individual did well their parts. All in all the entire rendition of the piece was high ly enjoyed by the well filled house. Rev. G. W. Carter was transferred from Lincoln to Manhattan. Kans., was appointed to Lincoln for the en suing year. Maundy Thursday services were held by the Scottish Rite Masons at Masonic hall Thursday night, and Easter services were carried out on Sunday morning. Services were observed as follows at the A. M. E. church Sunday: After Sunday school the children exercises were rendered, being good. The pas tor preached a fine sermon. In the evening the choir rendered their can i tata, “The Last Words of Christ”, i which scored quite a commendation from the great crowd. Dahlman Ticket THE SQUARE SIX” James C.

There are 35 colored builders and building contractors in Columbus, O. “They say” that matrimony is a great game if you can finance it. Our young ladies in Oklahoma City have organized a business and profes sional Girls’ Club. W. G. Banks of St. Louis is presi dent of the People’s Overall and Shirt Manufacturing Company. The naming of the "ten greatest” does not necessarily call for a list of the "ten smallest.” Dr. Wilbur A. Drake of Norfolk has been appointed Assistant Surgeon to the Virginia Railway and Power Co. When you catch a democratic sena tor with the goods on his person, he howls that he has been “framed.” In every group of 1,000 colored mar ried women in the District of Colum bia, 497 are engaged in gainful em ployment. It is difficult to make a defeated politician believe that “The voice of the people is the voice of God.” Editor Walls of the Star of Zion wants the Zionists to cut out dancing —and they have been calling him a "Modernist.” Our well known Cincinnati bache lor editor observes that very few men enjoy being kissed in public. “In the springtime a young man’s fancy,” etc. An analysis of the primary election returns indicates that the "Migrant” has been taught how to place the little cross mark on his ballot. The women of Nyasa Basin in South Africa always kneel before their hus bands when talking to them. Yet there are those who oppose the Garvey “Baek-to-Africa” movement. Most of us remember when the “Jim Crow” rules, on trains entering Illinois from the South, became inop erative when the State line was reach ed. But that was before the advent of our great and mighty political lead ers. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. Thomas Taggart, Pastor Easter was observed with appropri ate services. The Rev. Mr. Young preached on the significance of the day at the morning service. At 2:30 the Sunday school gave an excellent program, at the conclusion of which 1 the children were given Easter eggs. There will be an interesting program 1 presented Monday night in connec tion with the home-coming of the pas tor, who returns this week and will conduct services next Sunday. Next Sunday evening the pageant, "The Questioner” will be presented under the direction of Mrs. Georgia Taggart. ALLEN CHAPEL A.M.E. CHURCH 25th and R Streets O. J. Burckhardt, Pastor Easter services reached a high mark in attendance and inspiration. At 11:00 o’clock, the Rev. John T. Brown, preached a strong sermon on "The Risen Christ.” At 7:30 an in teresting program in keeping with the day was given to a crowded congre gation. Next Sunday at 3:00 p. m. the congregation will assemble at St. John’s A M. E. church for a union baptismal service at which the Rev. W. C. Williams will preach the ser mon. MT. MORIAH BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. E. H. McDonald, D. D., Pastor Easter services brought out large congregations. The pastor preached at all services. At the 11:00 o'clock service he delivered a scholarly ser mon from the text, "Why seek ye the Living among the dead?” He pansed in rapid review historic tombs of the illustrious dead, which still contain the asheg of those who had influenced their age and then showed there was only one tomb that proved an excep tion, that of Christ.

On account of the city grade schools playing for the World-Herald championship it was impossible to get the park until a late hour, consequently only five in nings were played, resulting ih a score of 2 to 1 in favor of the Mail Clerks. Elbert E. Taylor, manager of the Tigers was well pleased with the showing made by his team The Tigers will meet the C. B. & Q. team in a final game, Sunday, April 27 at Athletic park from 10 to 12 a. m. Any fast amateur or sefl-pro team in or out of Omaha that desires games call Mallory at Walnut 2493 or write Theo.
