Derek sank YEARLY into the big
chair in whose ample arms there
usually lurked contentment and
abiding peace. Not SO tonight. In
fact. Derek found himself inclined
to hurl BRIEF. unfattering epithets at
himself and the world in general.
A few hours before, Derek Vane

had journeyed forth. with flowers

to take the fair. delicate lily within
his arms and tell her that he could
not live without her.
But alas! when the moment of
making the confession arrived, Derek
found that he could live very nicely
without her. He realized, not with

Today the outlook for colored men in
business is not only bright but actually
inspiring. Many of them are quietly
getting firm hold on the essentials Of
success in business-the buying Of
homes. the extension of business. the
opening of factories. the establishment
Of banks and the better appreciation Of
commercial pursuits.
If men of other races can establish

that the large proportion of wheat

The agricultural outlook, as a whole,
is regarded still as hopeful and eneour-
