Chicag o,Ill.-The committee on
homes has been busy during the mast
week making assignments to dele
gates who are coming to the National
Negro Business League, which
promises to be the greatest session
ever held in the history of. the or.
ganization
Perhaps there is not an organiza
tlon in the country that has been
such a source of inspiration to the
race, as the National Negro Business
League, which was organized bv Dr
Booker T. Washington, the wizard
OF Tuskegee Institute, and which has
contributed much to the young men
and women aspiring in life. Zach
year men and women from all parts
OF the country come together and
tell about their success and failures
IN business. Those who have sue
ceeded tell the methods used by them
to bring about the success, and this
has proven helpful to those who were
looking on the dark side of the busi-
ness world
In the sessions of the League
every line of business trend or nro-
Iession followed by the race is rem
resented by successful men. II ia
not a meeting Of oratory and disp1av
OF eioquence, but a plain talk on
plain practical matters. This has
aroused a large amount of interest
among the Chicago people of all races
ana classes, and a great interest has
Deen manifested to contribute to the
