We are hearing so much these days
about getting back 10 tho farm. We
need more tillers OF the soil, It Is true;
but we also need n more earnest de.
sire for home building In our cities
and towns. There are 70 many oppor-
tunitles for starting home On small
savings that home Of ones own
should be the first consideration.
The thousands Of people with little
children who are living In the close
quarters OF an apartment house or ten.
ement. who might be In coy homes
OF their own. need to be shown what
they are losing In a thousand ways.
What an incentive It liz to be saving,
to have an object such as home to
work for. The hand.to.mouth liver In
the apartment house knows nothing
of this Joy.

SYLVANUS WILL STUDY THE
SYSTEM OF ROAD BUILDING
Black Graduate viii Don Stripes and
Do Real Work.

Road building is not included IN
the curriculum of the Americas Color
ed Institute, but one of it's star pa
pills who floats through this end of
the zodiac under the euphonious cos
nomen of Sylyanus Ellison is going
to take a postgraduate course of
eight months under the personal in
struction of the changing professor
here. The sylphlike Sylvanus was ac-
tually blowing a black mule one day
in early spring, siding a row of ger
aniums on the college campus, when
a runaway convict came that way The
heart of the gentle Sylvanus swelled
like a circus balloon as he saw the
shackles upon the ankles of the black
sprinted, and detaching his scooter
pillow from its stock, Sylvanus proceed
ed to cleave the steel bands and set
free the black brother. This was
gentle charity, but poor judgment
as Sylyanus, the simple, discovered
when Sheriff Feagin gigged him foe
assisting a prisoner to escape, which is
"again the statoots." The sad comedy
ended in Superior court yesterday
when Judge I4ittleiohn soaked Syl-
vanus by sending him to the chain
gang for eight months. where so many
negroes take their first degree in do
ing real, honest work.
