He Does Not Make 1t.

Your grocer may be perfectly con-
seiontious in recommending another
fioar to be ''just AZ good as Clifton i"
bot he does not and cannot know it to
be 50, because he has nothing TO do with
its making. 1t behooves you, therefore,
to buy an absolutely guaranteed flour
one that the Anti-Adulteration League
puts it's registered trademark on-and
such flour is Bransford's "Clifton. -
1t is not snly absolutely pure. but it is
the best winter wheat patent -four in
the market. Ask your grocer for it.
II you want cheaper flour, buy "Wbite
Fawa" (half patent). or "Spotless"
(straiEht). Tkey are just rs pure.

That glows around his grave 30 bright
And never feel the breeze
That waves the blossoms on the trees,
BY that lone aud dreary hill
Where his sacred hands lie still,
That do not feel the breath
From his lips OF crimson hue,
Husbed by the ruthless hand Of death,
Now pale beneath the midnight dew.

Thy warm, true heart is still.
And on thy pale and peaceful face

But thy memory will be cherished

Rhodes to stand godfather to his son,
and he replied that he would on one
condition. which was that he might in
vest at once f100 in the boys name
and give f10O on each succeeding birth
day, provided that it should all go on
at compound interest until the boy was
old enough to begin to spend the inter-

eide on what to spend it. so long as 1t
was not on himself. This" said Mr..

An Artificial Pearl.

A ball of beeswaX introduced into the
shell of a living fresh water mussel has
resulted in producing the most remark
able artificial pearl in existence. 1t is
about an inch and half in length, oval
in form and pink in color and is now
the property of the Smithsonian insti-
tuition. The ball of wax was placed
near the hinge of the bivalve. which.
being kept in tank of fresh water.
was carefully watched. The irritation
Of the wax caused the mollusk to pro-
tect itself by coating the foreign object
with a smooth coating of pearl stuff
the same material as that which is used
in lining the inner surface of its shell.
In the case in question the result was
an enormous pearl. Owing to pressure.
however. the wax ball lost its spherical
shape and became oval in form. At the
end of two years the mussel was taken
out of the tank and opened and the
pearl removed. The wax afterward
contracted. owing 10 dryness. which
caused the pearl shell TO crack. This
accident. while destroying the CONNER
cial value of the pearl. made II posi-
BILE to observe the thickness of the
nacreous covering. which is somewhat
greater than that of an ordinary sheet
Of letter paper. If the pcarl were moi
fiawed. it would be worth an enormous
sum of money. but even as it Is it !:

Again the Inter Mountain sends a
hot shot into the colored society. We
would like to understand what they
have got up their sleeve, If we have
offended them by patronizing their
paper we will make the necessary
apology by cutting out our subscrip-
ton. They seem to be bent upon rid
iculing our best colored citizens. The
article contained in last Mondays is
sue concerning the emancipation cele-
bration was simply a roast just be-
cause they thought that the negroes
had no right to be celebrating emanci'
patton anniversary. We care not to
keep up a war talk. however, We would
like to have our afternoon contempor
airy understand that we have among
us some good citizens that any com
muniLy should be proud of.

The National Negro Business league
which meets in Richmond. Va, Aug.
1927. will be attended by delegates
from twenty-three states. The mem
bership of the Business League is
confined to Negro men and women
who are actively engaged in business.
More than three thousand of these
are now in direct touch with the Of
ficers of the league. The object OF
the organization is to inform, as best
it can. the world of the progress the
Negro is making in every part OF the
country. and to stimulate local bust
ness enterprises through its annual
meetings and in every other possible
way. Large numbers OF local business
leagues have been organized during
the past two years and these are to
be largely represented at Richmond.
The Richmond Business League is
making preparations to entertain dele
gates royalty. The tedium of the bus
mess meeting will be relieved by a
banquet and by an excursion to the
famous Hampton Institute. at Hamp-
ton, Va. There will be no more IN
teresting features of the meeting than
the display of photographs of Negro
business houses and of Negro men and
women engaged in business through
out the country. Photographs SEN
to Tuskegee up to and including Aug
18th will be given place in the dis
play. Persons intending to be pres
ent should write the president of tn
league. Booker T. Washington. Tuske
gee, Ala. Reduced rates of one an
one-third fare have been secured fror
all of the passenger associations G
the country. In purchasing ticket
delegates should insist on securin
certificates granting one-third retur
fare.
