ters are pouring in from every section
Of the United States
The Sunday school workers are plan
ming and working to have increased
delegations. All of the front line Sun
day schools. many of them having beeu
made so by their connection with the
congress. seem TO never tire OF telling
of the advantages offered by the or
ganizatiOn and the encouragement
brought about and the enthusiasm en-
gendered by the regular meetings of
the Sunday school congress in the past.
The secretary announces that -four
brass bands have signified their inten-
ton of serving the congress forces in
the Birmingham meeting. The first To
give notice was the Boy Cadet band Of
Philadelphia. This musical nggrcgn
ton is, connected with the Zion Bap-
tist church. pastored by Rev. Fiber,
w. Moore. ID. %. 1t is regarded as
one OF the most efficient musical or
ganizations before the public. The
next is the Tuggle Institute band OF
Alabama. While this is school ag-
gregation. II il made up of boys that
have made good.
The third IL the regular cadet band
from the national cadet headquarters

gun to elect their delegates, and de-
partmental conductors have agreed to
bring their departments up to high
er order. The announcement of the re-
duced rates. declares the secretary. is
to be made earlier this year than here
tofore in order that there might be u
special lineup and more special train

pick up more delegates en- route to
Birmingham. where they hope to reach
with larger special train than has

WHAT WE SPEND ANNUALLY.

Would Put Race on Independent Busi-
ness Basis, Says Economic Writer.
Under the caption Can the Negro
Feed Himself?" the writer on economic
subjects at the Tuskegee tA1a., insti-
tute makes the following statement:
The Negroes in America spend about
5000. 100000 year for food This es-
innate makes dueAAllowance for those
who are employed as domestic serv-
ants and get IL portion of their food
without actual cost.
II you take your pencil and begin to
figure over this enormous annual out
lay you reach some very alarming con-
clusions. In the first place, food prod.
ucts offer the retailer an average profit
Of % per cent. and 25 per cent Of $780,
100000 is $15O.OOO,OOO. or the amount
OF profit made from the annual food
expenditure Of Negroes. ~
Suppose we go further with our fig
ures and distribute this $15O.OOO,OO
among. say. 10000 retail establish
ments We will find that we can pay
each proprietor $500 per year. give
him bookkeeper at $1,000 per year.
clerk at $40 per month, a delivery
boy at $50 per month, horse and
wagon and still have balance of
$5O.OOO.OOO for rent. heat. light. ad-
vertising. extension and other Incl
dentals. And here is employment for
100000 people.
But our figures must not stop here
These 10000 retailers must spend
$3.50 100000 a year for goods and
these goods come from wholesalers.
commission merchants and manufac-
turers. Granting 10 per cent profit 70
the producers and necessary middle
men. we have the handsome sum of
$4.JOO,OOO each year which conld be
distributed among say fifty factories
and 200 wholesalers and commission
merchants. each earning an average
yearly profit in excess of $4,000.
This annual profit would be divided
among proprietors. managers. travel
ing statesmen. city salesmen. clerks
and laborers. giving employment to
about 10000 more people. Thus we
see that il the Negro undertook to
feed himself we would have fully 30
900 successful business enterprises.
