THE NEGRO BUS|-
NESS MAN

Booker Washington is the best
qualified exponent of the theory
that the Negro must have work
and that the South must give it to
him. Those who face that situa-
ton fairly and squarley, who rec
ognize that the work must include
the higher classes of labor no less
than the field and the household,
will best appreciate the value of
the industrial education first at
tempted at Hampton by Gen.
Armstrong, and later carried on by
Louisville's guest at Tuskegee.
And, as they realize that only by
giving the intelligent Negro all the
chance he needs, only by making
of him busy and thrifty bread
winner, arousing in him a proper
sense of responsibility, can many
economic problems be solyed, so
will the debt of gratitude be more
cordially recognized and acknow.
lodged.
Said Gov. MacCorkle. of West
Virginia: "What the South wishes
is to have the Negro educated
thoroughly in body, soul and mind.
Let him become useful farmer;
let an effort be made to make him
a useful artisan; let him be taught
the social economics of life; how to
live cheapest and best, and he will
be builder up of that section and
an honor to his race. The new
theory of industrial education is
most magnificent Que, and | look
the next twenty years for a won
derful increase in the character,
standing, and well-being of the
Negro derived this common sense
method of teaching" There will
not, we apprehend, be much differ
ence If opinion as to soundness of
the view so convincingly set forth:
certainly little or none here in
Kentucky, where the enrolment
of colored children in the schools
shows higher percentage than in
any other State.
And the day foreshadowed has
in a measure arrived; is, at all
events, fast arriving. 1t cannot be
expected to eventuate all at once,
but how considerable a progress
has been made can be gathered
from the proceedings of the Ma
tional Negro Business League.
Though but ten yeers old, the value
of its earnestness and organization
is substantially in evidence; bust
ness, and business only, is the
subject of its concern, and its

There is trouble ahead for the
leaders of the Ninth Assembly
District where the Negro vote is
approximately 1,600 out of the
1920 enrolled Republicans. The
Negroes in the district have made
up their minds that they should
have a member of their race as
leader of the district and a d-hot
primary fight is likely this fall.
A meeting of Negro voters in the
district was held a few days ago
and it was agreed to run DR.. p. A.
johnson, of 203 West Thirty
third street, against the organiza-
ton leader, Michael FL. Blake.

General enlargement OF the grain and the

plans Of the Crowell Grain and Lumber
company 10 move to Omah the hesdquar-
tiers. which have been maintained at Blair,
and the additional rooms the Fsirmont
Creamery company will erect on its plant
at Twelfth and Jones streets.
The crowen company already has one Of
the large terminal elevators in Omaha, and
grain dealers say the increase of business
following the firms removal to Omaha will
mean another terminal elevator. c. G.
Crowell. jr., intends moving his family 70
Omaha from Blair. The company now
maintains an office IN the Brandels build
ing and Mr.. Croweil is on the market daily,
but the headquarters OF the company have
been maintained at Blair.
This promises an additional elevator; the
Nebraska Hay and Grain company sold the
elevator operated by the firm recently to
an entirely new company and has bought
the old feed and Touring mill on Hamilton
street. and Belt line. which will be remod-
eIed for an elevator. Omaha thus gets a
new grain company and a feed mill be-
comes q terminal elevator.
So rapid has been Omaha's growth as a
butter market that the Fairmont Creamery
. company demand more room and will ex-
pand. having bought additional real es-
tate TO the extent of $4,000 on which to
build.
The decision Of che Interstate Commerce
commission, which SO strongly commended
the oentralizers Of the creamery industry,
has had a stimulating effect. Attacks OF
the Department of Agriculture and the rail-
roads at the same time, went for nothing,
and the more favorable railroad rates
granted from Interior points to the CEN
traIizing plants, has brought to Omaha O
flood of cream so deep the creameries can
scarcely come to the surface. The 1900, 900
pounds of butter made in Omaha may

HINTS.

Driving a nail in the wall Is a SIM
Pile matter when it Is gone about
properly. Some people use the back
of a silver-handled hair brush for this,
but the trouble is that the handle is
apt to bend. The best method Is to
use a small hand mirror.
The main thing in driving a nail in
the wall is to find a joist or piece OF
studding or girder, or whatever it Is
behind the lathing. When the house
Is built these timbers are arranged at
intervals of two feet or so. Then the
lath Is tackled on and the plastering
applied. After that the timbers can
not be located.
1t would seem that when the plas-
terers have finished their work the
carpenters come around at dead of
night and extract the %studding, or
girders, or joists, or whatever they
are. You can pound anywhere on the
wall and never evoke a solid response.
After %tap-tapping your way all around
the room and getting drumbeats
OfCit yOo COOhl oh6i w 1O-
solve to locate that timber If it takes
as much time and energy and inge-
nuity as discovering the pole.
1t may be that the timbers dodge
you. Anyway, you begin rapping
with a heavy instrument on the plas.
tering, and you scarify the wall paper
or scratch the paint or alabastine or
whatever fool stuff has been applied
to the wall. Soon your hammer mer-
mily jumps through the plaster. No
matter. You can easily hang a pic
ture over the hole. After an hour or
two of labor you compromise by driv-
ing the nail in the door casing. The
fun of this work also is that ever and
mon the nail will jump gayly from
the wall and smite you in the eye.
