HOW WE CAN HELP.

Washington, D. C.-"What can l do
to assist in this great struggle into
which our country has been forced? p
is the question being asked by Ne
groes all over this country, for while
there are thousands of them who have
passed the age limit for army service,
yet their loyalty, their love for u
try, and their patriotism force them
to strive to DO something.
Through The weekly papers of the
race throughout the country the
United States Food Administration is
attempting to answer this question,
and show each individual what can
be done in this direction-how to help
to win the war, for win we must.
Our soldiers who are to do the fight
ing must be fed and clothed, and the
feeding of the American soldiers is
up to the United States. Not only
must we feed our own, but we must
feed the soldiers of The Allies, and
we are now trying to make the sup
ply equal to the demand. The food
shortage in Europe forces the peoples
of Europe to look to us for foodstuffs,
and we must supply it. To accom-
plish this, we must have the cooper
alton of every American citizen in the
matter of conservation of food. 1t Is
hoped that every family, every man,
woman and child of our race will en-
ter into this work, and study well the
information which is being sent to
them by the Food Administration, free
of charge.
There is no doubt that food is the

OIL AND GAS NEWS.
rweIve Hundred MIIIl0nalres in Five Hundred DAYS

WE'VE FundTeo IN i've Days.
A prominent banker told me last week that in the last five
hundred days the oil and gas fields of Kansas and Oklahoma have
made five hundred milhonaires. How many of these five hundred
were Colored people? None. Why? Can't Colored men buy oil
leases in proven territory? Yes. In fact, lots of valuable oil
property is owned by Colored people. Haven't Colored people the
money to buy these leases with? Individually, no, but collectively,
yes, the same as the white people are doing. Well, why is it that
some Coored people of Kansas City haven't come together before
now and organized an oil company and made some real big money,
as you are right here in the oil belt?Well, there are many ra-
sons l could give you for this a S well as a number of other good
opportunities our people have had for making noneythat we have
set idly by, and let pass, but in answer to these questions, l will
say that two of the main reasons are lack of confidence in one
another, and the other is the lack of means Of some one to ven
ture for fear of nonsupport of his people. However, THE Kaw
Valley Oil and Gas Co." now organizing, is composed entirely of
Coored people. We are going after the big money for ourselves
and those who join us. Our success is absolutely sure. We have
just two miles from Humboldt. There is a producing oil and gas
Prairie Oil Tank farm and the st, Clair pipe line runs across our
lease. We are not specializing or wld-catting; we are just raising
money to pay for our lease and to drill down for oil; we are in
proven territory. We have a very attractive ground floor prOpo-
siton to offer a few more of our people at this time who can in
vest $4,000. No more or less would be accepted. If you invest
now you will become one of the Companys directors. If you would
like to get in on the ground floor of an oil company which has a
brilliant possibility of paying millions of dollars to its stock hold
ers you must act at once. Remember nothing ventured, nothing
gained" AT a meeting of the present investors we have agreed
to meet one evening next week to elect our officers.

WASTE OF GARDEN STUFF.

Two factors in the high cost of fruit
and vegetables have received but lit
tie notice from the consuming public.
l refer to the questions of grading
fruit and vegetables and the licensing
of hucksters. Fruit and vegetables
are graded by selecting the finest spe-
cimens, and then they are sold at
price to cover the entire crop, while
tine greater portion produced is wasted.
We pay as much for dozen apples as
half bushel of wholesome cooking
apples should cost, says a writer in
New York Sun. If fruit and vege-
out the partly decayed and badly
bruised portion, these to be sold as
such, a vast amount of stuff would
come on the market at a moderate
price, aud at the same time fancy fruit
could be~sold by the dozen to those in
quest of that grade. Nearly all cities
issue hucksters' licenses, and the huok-
ster, by working in unison with the
storekeepers, create a monopoly inside
the city limits. The producer is kept
from access to the city with his load
of fruit and vegetables unless he takes
out a license, and this would not be
profitable to the average producer.
The result is to allow the hucksters
and other dealers to exact from the
consumer as high price as possible
and at the same time set the price to
the producer. Public markets should
be provided in cities and the privileges
of the market limited to the producer
only.

HOW SEDALIA GOT ITS NME
Gen. George r. Smith Gave the Town
Its Pleasing Ccgnomen in Honor
of His Young Daughter.

The city of Sedalia was both found
ed and named by Gen George X.
Smith, who was q distinguished cit-
zen of Missouri during the years of the
Civil war and the periods Immediately
before and after that struggle. He
was a Nirginian by birth and Il Ken
tuckian by upbringing as a young man
he came to Missouri and settled AT
Georgetown. which is three miles north
of the present city Ofa Sedafia. He
was prominent both in politics ana
business and was instrumental in the
building of the Missouri Pacific rail
way from ST. Louis TO Kansas City
during the sos of the last century,
He could not induce his fellow
t0wnSmen to make the necessary eff
fort to have the railway pass through
Georgetown, and, foreseeing that that
would condemn the village TO decay,
he bought large tract of land beside
the railway tracks and Laid out town
site there. from which in course ot
time has grown the flourishing city OF
Sedala.
When it came to furnishing a name
for the new settlement, General Smith
determined to christen it Sedyille, in
honor Of his younger daughter Sa ali,
whose pet name in The family circle
was "Sed." one of his friends, Josiah
Dent of st. Louis suggested that
''yille" was a commonplace termina-
ton, and that Sedalia would be more
beautiful and unusual name. General
Smith approved of the suggestion, and
Sedaia came officially into being when
he and his family, the first inhabitan'
Of the new town. moved thither in

The telephone rang. You interrupted

even a grunt. 1t was the click of the
other party's receiver. He didn't have
to be courteous. He was anonymous,
says st. Paul Pioneer Press. Having
the heart of hoor. he was never cour-
teous for courtesy's sake but merely
for the sake of being tolerated by so
ciety. Or perhaps he believed he was
talking to a subordinate parsonage on
whose good viii he was not depend
eat for favOrs personal or commercial.
Possibly he was just too busy to be
decent. Anyhow, ii didn't make ary
difference. Under the cloak Of anony-
nifty he could be the cur that he al
ways secretly wanted to be and nobody
would know.
