that the young eoloFed men sent out
from Tuskegee become, in most
cases, frst-elass farmers, money
makers, leaders in their communi-
ties. The purchasing power of these
southern people is becoming enor-
nous. They buy millions of dollars
worth of food supplies, clothing,
tools, household goods.
Now every Tuskegee student is a
walking, breathing advertisement for
julius Rosenwald and Sears-Roe-
buck. Every branch Y. M. G. A. sup
ported by RosenWald is a better adj
vertising medium than a thousand
bilIboards for Sears-Roebuck. All the
Y. NJ. G. A. organizations have night
classes for teaching business meth
DDS, efficiency, honesty, sobriety and
thrift to the young colored folks. It
is quietly and yet thoroughly under
stood among all these students that
julius Rosenwald of Sears-Roebuck

pays out enormous sums of money
for the fienefit Of the colored people"
Only RosenWald himself and his
closest associates have the figures on
what proportion of the S1O0,OOO,OOO
volume of sales last year by Sears
Roebuck came from the southern col
ored people. It is safe to say it's a
paying and growing field, and Mont
gomery Ward and Spiegel-Stern's
and others will before long make
some sort of moves toward capturing
this trade"

RosENWALD AND HIS NEGRO
CHARITY GAME
Gossip in mail order business cir
cles is trying to explain why Julius
Rosenwald, the biggest mail order
man of them all, has chosen the
American colered people Of the south
as the special object of his large do
nations. Rosenwald has been paying
the expenses of himself and a party
of forty social workers for four-day
trip to Tuskegee, Ala, where Booker
T. Washington runs the greatest
school in the country for boys and
young men who want to learn how
to make money farming.
Rosenwald has. from year to year
been paying more money for negro
branches of the Young Mems Chris
ton assn. Also his donations to
Booker WashingtOn's school have
been getting bigger from year to
year. A young man in the CORES
pondence, department Of Sears, Roe
buck & Co. gave to Day Book re-
porter this view of why Rosenwald,
the president of the company, has
peddled out close to a million now to
institutions for colored people. He
said:
There is no doubt Booker Wash
ington has worked wonders down at
his Tuskegee school. Every year he
is sending out hundreds Of young
men who are expert farmers. They
are taught by actual practice at Tus-
kegee how to make land produce
how to co-operat with the U. S. agri-
cultural bureaus and, above all, the
value of thrift, saving of tools, ma
terials and the Importance Of bank

LOOK ON THE SUNNY SIDE
Cultivation of Optimism VIII Always
Be Found to Pay Big
Dividends.

Optimism is virtue which eTery-
one should cultivate 1t not only
makes us much happier and brighter,
but also more popular, for everyone
loves to be with an optimist. Even
pessimists are stirred out of their
constant gloom if surrounded for a
time by a number of persons who
persistently look on the sunny side
of life, no matter how dark the out
look.
After all, optimism or pessimisr
is all a frame of mind. Both words
simply describe mental conditions.
and, since this is so, why not choose
the one which will make us happy Z
Optimism means looking on the
sunny side of life, seeing only the
good in all things. We can easily
cultivate this viewpoint if we will
only try, and it makes such differ
ence in what we see. We can look
at the same persons and see quite
different traits. We also see other
more beautiful things in whatever
direction we look.
Why should We walk through life
looking down at the mud of the
streets when we could be looking up
at the blue of the skies? As one Of
the characters in popular drama
now running says, "The pig spends
his whole time roofing around with
his nose in the dirt, hut l never
heard of anyone wanting to be a
pigw And again the same charac-
ter says, ''Why should anyone search
all over the big, blue sky for cloud
when he can enjoy the sunshine p

yAps TO BUILD SUBMARINES.

Rear Admiral Kantaro Suzuki,
WESTMINSTER of marine, who has
been interviewed by Japanese news
agency on lessons of the war, has
added his opinion to that of many
naval experts of other countries to
the effect that the usefulness of the
submarine was being SO strongly
demonstrated in the present war that
the leading nations would devote
much time and money to this branch
of naval service. Rear Admiral Su-
zuki said that the japanese naval
authorities were already giving much
attention to the study of submarines.
Heretofore it has been impossible to
build submarines in Japan, but some
of the shipyards are now prepared to
undertake contracts for such craft,
and, in the opinion of Rear Admiral
Suzuki, the Japanese yards would
be able to meet the needs Of the
navy in this direction.

PRISONER PAID HIS BOARD
Case of United States Sailor, Under
Arrest, Reads Like Incident of
Napoleonic Wars.

A not very frequent sight is that
of a sailor in irons, delivered a pris-
oner to shore authorities for an of
Tense committed on the high seas.
Recently Benjamin r. Johnson was
thus handed over to New York au-
thorities for shooting one of his
mates on the American schooner Re
public.
For thirty days after his seizure
in Guadeloupe harbor johnson was
kept in Jail and made to pay his
own board at the rate of 60 cents a
day. Then when he was shipped
north he was compelled to pay his
own passage, although in irons, at a
cost of $34. How this will be un-
tangled the sea lawyers are conjec-
turing.
1t is related that during the Napo-
leonic wars French prisoners at Dart
mouth prison in England were
served with a species of red herring
that might almost be classified as a
stage property. The herring, it was
authentically reported, had been in
use fully five years. When it was de-
livered by the food contractor it was
unfit to eat. Nevertheless the pris-
oner had to take it as a part of his
ration. In despair he sold it back to
the contractor for something of less
value that was eatable.

COAL RATES ARE SLASHED
Ignite Reductions Range From Thir
ty to Sixty Per Cent.

Sweeping reductions of from 80 to
60 per cent were ordered, effective on
Sept. l, in Ignite coal rates of rail-
roads operating in North Dakota.
Railroads have chortled over their
victory" said Chairman w. H. Suits
man Of the state railroad commission,
but they cannot insist on exorbitant
rates. Last spring the United States
supreme court held the old statutory
rates were confscatory and, following
the decision, the carriers returned to
the old rates.
Zone example. is shown by the
statutory rate from Wilton mines to
Mandan, which was Al cents a ton.
The old rate, now in effect for several
months, has been SO cents. Under the
knife of the railroad commission this
is slashed to 81 cents a ton. This is
an example of cuts made throughout
the state in the schedule which is now
being prepared
