Mr.. Hosmer spoke very encourag-
ingly and Interestingly before the
Minneapolis Sunday Forum at the
Bethesda Baptist Church last Sun
day, May 7th. His very practical ad-
dress was thoroughly enjoyed by all
who heard him. He believes in the
Negro race, in his ability to triumph
against all odds, and in the real
progress of his people. He thinks
that every Negro should have some
thing; should possess a piece of prop
erty, bank account and be genuinely
proud of the race to which he be-
longs.
Mr.. Hosmer is securing scholar
ships and money for the General
Fund of Tuskegee Institute. He is
meeting with success in his work
here in the Twin Cities, and is very
enthusiastic over the encouragement
he is meeting with in the great
Northwest. There is no question but
that Tuskegee's work is to me the
salvation of the masses of our people
millions of whom are now woefully
and almost hopelessly ignorant-es-
pcially in the South. In it's methods
of uplifting and educating these
masses of people Tuskegee is certain
ly solving the Negro problem-the
most perplexing problem now before
the American people.

CHAPTER /.


Harry Swifton hummed a song to
himself and threw a little more speed
into his roadster.
He had every reason to be happy.
Long regarded as a settled bachelor,
though young enough to be the sort
of chap all the girls were setting their
caps for, he felt that this was to be
the really great day of his life. Lucy
Medders and her father were coming
to visit him; his sister Carolyn was
coming home from boarding school
especially to play the hostess, the
home had been made spick and span
for the occasion, the sun was shining,
the little birds were singing in the
trees of the park, his roadster, was
running smoothly and-well, he hadn't
q care in the world.
AS he took corners in the driveways
without slackening speed he mur-

Harry went into his room and
Pigeon sat down.
"How's Carolyn looling?" Harry
called to him.

Pigeon went on, maiciously, "the fell

In for me! Why?" asked Harry, in

the softest of tones.
"It depends" he managed to say.
eff you're going to stop this because
I'm better, I'm going to have a re-
lapse"
Then into the room came a stalwart
old Quaker.
Has the young man recovered,
Lucy?" he asked.
Yes, father" she said. Harry sat
up, with an effort
81 don't know how to thank you,
sir" he said 1T was lucky that
went into the ditch right in front OF
your house"
With the word lucky" he looked
meaningly at Lucy, but that self-pos-
sesseG maiden did not seem to catch
his double meaning.
The result of the accident is not
hard to guess. Harry found himself
so bumped and bruised that 1t took
fortnight for him to be well enough to
return to his home. And In that fort
night he and Lucy became so well ac-
quainted that 1t then became neces-
sary for him to run up to see her
q mere matter of hundred miles
once every week. And now he had
induced her father to bring her to visit
him and his sister.
He reviewed in his mind the events

smash and a crash a shrek and a
yell. And then the three people picked
themselves up.
The man in the other auto leaped
to his feet first and shook his fists
at Harry. The lady gathered her hair
into coil again and exclaimed;
MY hat! My beautiful hat!"
Harry followed the direction of her
glance, and saw the object OF her dis
may. A handsome hat of yellow
straw, adorned with large red flowers,
was hopelessly entangled in the steer
ing gear of his machine,
He eXtricated it-or what he could

a fearful exclamation of despair she
refused It.

duce better results in one place, all work of this character is done better.
 By cooperative selling it is possible for one factory to sell in places where it would otherwise be possible to sell only at a prohibitive cost Not only does this saving benefit the purchaser, but the ser vice that can be rendered to the owner after purchase could not be given in this locality by any other plan at any practi- cal expense.
 We have conducted this getting ready process consistently and patiently, un- troubled by temporary or local condi- tions in the industry. While others were cutting prices to dispose of old stock or leftover cars, or to raise cash, we said nothing; we were not ready. We have now reached the point where the fruit of our effort can be given to the buyer without sacrificing the interests of our shareholders.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-01-01

We make profit at these new prices. Had we needed to unload we would have announced them four months /ago. We have no leftover cars, no old stock to work up. As matter of fact, our ship ments for three months ending Novem- Der 30 were 5713 per cent greater than for the same period in 1909.
 The season for the heaviest buying is now just about to open. Over ninety-five per cent of our product is already con tracted for with deposits. Every indi- cation points to a shortage of our cars this spring.
 Nevertheless, by basing our prices on cost which is lowered by legitimate sav- ing, made possible through the benefits of cooperative organization, we are es- tablishing our Company, now and for all time, in public confidence and earning the support which we expect always to retain.

tered all over the country; is operated on a cooperative basis, with all our em- ployes working whole-heartedly for our success and sharing in our prosper ity, while the executive management is based on military discipline. No man, no clique, holds the majority of the stock. Our stock can be bought in the open market by any one, therefore 'control' depends only on efficiency.
 In buying raw material we are able, by massing our purchases, to secure lower prices and maintain higher quality. By interchanging of experience in our en- gineering department, we avoid costly mistakes and produce better cars. Our original investigations which produce improvements cost little when distrib- uted over our vast product An inn provement in method is introduced i'm mediately in all our plants.

 Our selling organization embraces 34 branch houses and dealers everywhere.
