THE HONEY BOY ASPIRES -Gcorxe
Honey Boy Evans, the famous minstrel.

Vile stage Immediately after the close
of the present season of his troupe
Evans was born in Cardiff. Wales. but
has made only d single trip back tn his
boyhood home-when he was Il member
of Haverleys MINISTRIES. Thus. when the
proposition came to cross the Atlantic
this summer for a four-week engage
ment in London. visions of a visit To his
early boyhood haunts influenced his ac-
ceptance.
The Honey Boy is anxious to be-
come known as q theatrical star in Lon
don, and he hopes TO impress upon the
English syndicate the advisability OF TAX
ing the Honey Boy minstrels across
the following year for a tour of the Brit
ish Isles. No minstrel show from this
country has made such a trip since Hav-
erley's invasion. according to the Honey
Boy" A wonderful ovation greeted
them. despite the prejudice at that time
against Americans.
Evans has another ambition which
amounts to almost an obSession. 1t is to
take the first theatrical troupe-his min
strels-through the Panama canal after
the canal, according to his plans. would
be played by the troupe. which would
also contend In ball games with the mines

COOPERATIVE PLAN OF DOING
BUSINESS AS WELL AS THE
PLAN OF SELLING STOCK
IN ENTERPRISE
TO BE LAUNCHED SOON

No enterprise that has been launch
ed in Richmond in a decade has ex-
cited more general interest than the
proposed cooperative department
store--the Union Stores. Inc.
The very simplicity of the plan: the
knowledge that 1t has been operated
so successfully elsewhere In this
country and in Europe. appealed to
the people, and so did the unique plan
of selling stock-following the same
cooperative ideas
over 500 men--men in every walk
OF lffe-au Inscribed to the proposition
the past week taking varying amounts
OF stock. All on the same plan--rieh
and poor alike~-50 cents down and
so cents payable monthly The first
payment will not be called for until
100000 has been subscribed.
The subscribers Immediately began
TO get busy. and get other subscribers,
In this manner earning 10 per cent
on their stock. or that much addition
al stock, whichever they prefer. In
this manner the promotion of the pro-
posed department store becomes CO.
operative, the salary of big commits
sions usually paid stock solicitor be-
ing eliminated. From the rapidity
with which stock Is selling the indica-
tons are that 100000 will be sub
scribed within a few days, and the
minimum of $500, 600 Is only ques-
ton OF a week or so. for as the de-
tails Of the enterprise are made
known subscribers are enrolled.
Each stakeholder, whether he has
one share or one hundred shares has
only one vote in the voice of the man
agement of the organization
The success OF the enterprises seems
already misunderstanding the plan OF
operation Is the most logical and prac-
teal ever presented to Richmond
people.
The basic idea IL to have a great
department store owned by tine peo-
pie. The store will buy for cash In
large quantities. and consequently buy
at the lowest possible prices, and II
win sell for cash, and at the lowest
possible prices. The earnings of the
store 60 back TO the stockholders in
the shape of dividends. Handling
everything from a pin to a steam en-
CINE ar rock bottom prices, 1t natur-
ally follows that not only the stock
holders but others buyers will be at
tracted to the store.
The experience of similar CO.
operative store in Calumet. Mich.
shows that the enterprise has saved
it's stockholders 20 per cent annually,

Writing of the possibilities offered
In the Newport News section for
profitable trucking. President Somer-
VILE says:
"A man raised $500 worth OF Irish
potatoes on forty acres OF land near
Newport News last year. His crop was
put in, gathered and marketed in less
than four months {March 18th to July
l5th) and he had his land available
for another late crop after that, He
was from the Eastern Shore OF Vir-
ginia, and he states our lands around
here. which can be bought for from
$40 to s25 per acre, are as fine for
Irish and sweet potatoes as the East
ern Shore land. which sells at $3.50
per acre
I'VE sold another Eastern Shore
man last year a 23e-acre farm flf-
teen minutes from this city by auto
mobile for $4,000 He states he
raised 20g barrels of Irish potatoes
this year from three barrels of seed
potatoes, and the season was not con-
sidered a good one. He now holds
his farm at $4,000.
Another man informs us he made
$400 last year from one acre OF to-
matoes. G
"A farmer four miles from this city
showed us quarter of an acre OF
ground from which he scld s300
worth of beets.
"A gentleman who owns a farm OF
some 700 acres near here refused
$4,000 for it last year"
