IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE
FAVORS BUSINESS WEEK
The Colored Improvemem League met
on June 8th at (.'leaves Temple C. M. E.
church and adopted the following resolu
tions:
Believing an ounce of practice is worth
a pound of theory, and that to delay to
encourage patronage of our business in
stitutions is disastrous, and believing that
we as citizens of Omaha ami race people
have a part to play and a contribution
to make to rare progress, and that this is
the psychological time to encourage the
patronage of race business.
Be It Resolved, That we the members
of the Colored Improvement League of
Omaha, go on record declaring the week
of June 14lh as a week of patronizing and
visiting Race Businesses. Be It Resolivd,
That we as a similar organization do like
wise.
Respectfully submitted.

WRITES ON FLAG
Marjorie Jane Edwards, the nine-year
old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. G. Ed
wards, who is a fourth grade pupil in Lake
school, wrote an essay on “Our Flag",
which was published in "Lake School Do
ings”, the school paper. Here is Mar
jorie's well-written article.
Oar Flag
When our country was new we wanted
a flag that would belong to the United
States alone. George Washington knew
just the one to make it. Her name was '
Betsy Boss. George Washington and some
other men went to see her. They said a
six-pointed star would do, hut she said a
five-pointed star would be prettier. With
one clip of Iter scissors she had a five
pointed star. There were thirteen stripes.
We still have thirteen stripes in memory |
of the first flag. There aw forty-eight \
stars because there are forty-eight states.

THE OMAHA WAITERS' ASSOCIATION
The association held its regular weekly
meeting at its club rooms. 2427 Lake
street, Monday night. June 8. Il was the
night for the monthly smoker and the
rfsims were crowded to capacity. An en
joyable evening was spent. Several out
of town visitors were present.
Good news! One more job secured for
the extra knights, which they lost, but
have gotten hack the Prettiest Mile Club.
Fellow knights, sit on it. Every little
helps. We may need it this winter.
Writing from Denver, Colo., one of the
past knights, Mr. W. H. Spriggs, says,
“reading your column in The Vlonitor al
most inspires me to get back into the har
ness.” He also lauds the association. You
know the game is like the street cars.
There is aways room for one more.
