IT PAYS TO
Read the Ads

~ ME was, and within the memo
ries Of many of us, when but
few people read advertisements
and those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found its
proper place in the economy of life.
Much Of it was neither informing
nor dependable nor of interest.
AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone Of advertising mp roved,
and it came to be of use and service
to the people. It developed, gradual
ly, into a medium of information for
the people about commodities and
products and and facts and figures.

Give Practical Helps

A S advertising took on this char
II acter, and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. Housewives
learned that through reading the
advertisements of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
f1uenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses of the world to come un-
der the sway of business methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too was Gin business and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with ef-
fciency and economy and wise judg-
ment. Thus the circle of people in
fluenced by advertising widened and
expended in a greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on If merchant holds the at
tention and interest Of the people in
this city who read and are Influenced
in their buying by the advertise
ments he need not worry about other

HOW SALEM TUTT WHITNEY BE-
CAME AN ACTOR.
Colored Comedian Saw "Uncle Toms
Cabin" and That Settled It.

The parents of Salem Tut Whitney,
the colored comedian, dramatist ard
newspaper man, had great hopes for
him. They expected to see him Bap-
tist minister some day. The young
man was not opposed to their wishes
and would probably have been preach
ing today had not the unforeseen hap
pened, which made him an actor in
stead. Salem attended school, and
one day while spending the summer
vacation at his home in Mitchell, Ind,
his mother sent him to the store to
purchase some provisions for the even
ing meal. Stoves Uncle Toms CaD-
in" was to give a. street parade when
the boy was on his errand. There
was a band, a troupe of bloodhounds,
little Eva riding in an old delivery
wagon, crudely arranged to look like
chariot as much as possible and ali
the features irrevocably associated
with an Uncle Tom parade. The band
was a good one and Whitney, who
had a soul for melody, was so strong
ly impressed with the music that he
fell in line with the parade and fol-
lowed it to its destination. Ordinar-
lily the lad had good appetite and
never failed to be home at meal time.
On this occasion. however, he forgot
all about eating and attended the per
formance, which was given under a
tent That was the turning point of
his career, for from that time on the
stage claimed his attention. He saw
the play and heard the singing and
he decided that he would follow the
calling of an actor. He had strong
bass voice and he felt certain that he
could sing we'll if not better than any
member of that company.

Kansas City Selected
National Negro Business League to
Hold Seventeenth Annual Session
August 16, 1916.

After a most careful consideration
of the several invitations received
from different sections of the coun-
try for the next meeting of the Ma
tional Negro Business League, we are
authorized by the members of the ex-
ecutive committee to announce that
the league has decided to accept the
invitation extended by the local Ne
gro Business League of Greater Kan
sas City. The meeting will be held
August 1G, II and IS, 1916.
1t appears that the Business League
has selected a most opportune time
to hold their meeting in Kansas City,
for as Mr.. Fortune ]. Weaver, presi-
dent of the Kansas City League says:
"These dates fit in just right, as the
Masons will hold their Grand Lodge
in Kansas City during the second
week of August and the National Med
ical Association comes during the
fourth week"
These two meetings in addition to
the Business League session, will Of
fer best possible inducements to the
railroads to make special reduced
fares and will afford delegates to the
Grand Lodge and the Medical Asso-
citation an opportunity to attend some
of the sessions of the Business League.
The executive committee has also
decided that it will be most appro-
pirate and fitting that the first nights S
! august 16) session be devoted to
memorial exercises in honor of DR..
Booker T. Washington, founder and
first president of the National Negro
| Business League.

the forthcoming meeting of the Ma
tional Negro Business League will be

l must admit that l highly appre-
ciated ]. A. Wilson's thoughtfulness
in criticising that light hearted and
mirth loving Negro who was so un-
couth as to disturb the attendants at
the play "On Trial at the Shubert
theater. But in speaking of a rep
resentative audience l feel that he
omitted the main class. There seems
to be growing spirit among a great
number of intelligent Negroes, both
writer's and speakers, to class the peo-
pie of their race as did J. A. Wilson.
First class, lawyers, doctors, profess
sors and teachers" second class, "the
light hearted and mirth loving type
the kind that frequents club rooms,
pool halls, low theaters and lounge
around barber shops and street cor
ners." I attended the play "On Trial.
and know great number that attend
ed during the two weeks. They are
friends and acquaintances of mine.
People of principle, good morals and
intelligent mothers, fathers and 9TH

still we feel juding from these quail
ties that we are competent to cope
with the average professional live
in hopes that the time will come when
the professional man or woman will
not be held up as the only first class

day when to the first class will be

Jones Faction Wins

Decision in Chicago Rendered This
week, Sustained the Contentious of
z. P. Jones and Followers, Making
Them the National Baptist Conven.
ton. Judge Smith Rendering De-
cision.
Chicago, January 10.-A decision
rendered in the courts of Chicago to-
day by Judge Smith sustained the de-
murrer of attorneys Walter NJ. Farm
er of this city, and VIM. Harrison, of
Oklahoma City, recognizing the Ma
tional Baptist Convention of which E.
P. Jones, D. D., of Vicksburg, Miss,
was elected president. 1t will be re-
membered that during the month of
September last year the Baptists held
a convention in this city and divided
into two parts over a charter gotten
out by seven men. A majority of one
hundred fifty or more votes in the
Convention was against the charter,
whereupon. DR.. Morris and his fol-
lowers left the chair and the Con-
vention Immediately elected E. p.
Jones and an entirely new set of
officers. The incorporated Conven.
tion led by DR.. Morris got out an in
junction to prevent therJones people
from using the name National Bap-
tist Convention" The case has been
hanging fire and the decision today by
the court is far-reaching. as it tears
down and virtually eliminates the in
corporated faction as a national body.
The contest was sharp and prolonged.
Able counsel represented both sides,
but in the demurrer offered by the
attorneys for the Jones faction every
contention made and the five points
of law presented were upheld. Pres
ident Jones was reached by wire in
Philadelphia and expressed himself as
we'll pleased, declaring that he knew
the will of the Baptists would be sus
tanned 1t is said that this decision
puts the incorporated faction to rout
It is learned that President Jones will
call a meeting of his advisors, con
sisting of the chairmen and the sec
retaries of the various Boards, to
gether with the elective officers to
meet in Nashville at an early date

schools, the final statement relative
to the financial end of the affair is
just now available.
AS stated previously in these

manned away, the children being either
sent with the mother or in quite a
number of cases alone.
