POPULAR AMERICAN WOOD

Where are you carrying
your protection? Very good
but listen! Do you realize
that all you can do is to CAR
RY protection with those peo
pie, that is. all you will ever
have the privilege of doing is
paying in your money and OF
course receiving the protect
ion such as it is, but the vast
sums they are paying out for
salaries etc. will never reach
your pocket or that of your
children. More than one
hundred good people of Den
yer are carrying their protec-
ton in the American Wood
man where they can see their
money again in more ways
than one. Every cent is be-
ing paid out for claims to col
ored people and for salaries
to colored workers. Don't
you think it is a good idea SO
long as you can get just as
good protection and a little
cheaper in an organization of
your own to carry it there 2
Your Insurance Commission :
er will tell you that the Amer
ican Woodmcn has an A /
rating. none better in the
state. You can take certi :
ficate of $3.50 up to $4,000
paying rate less than that
for what you are paying now
and at the same time we will
give you more protection.
Every certificate carries you
sick benefits, accident bene-
fits, old age, burial and death
benefits. If you are less than
thirty you may carry $1,000
for about $4,000 a year giving
all of these benefits. You may
carry $500 for $1.oo a month
with all benefits. Think the
matter over. 1t will pay you
in many ways. Call at the
general Offices in the Arapa-
hoe Building. or at DIR. De.

LAND BASIS OF WEALTH
Negro Must Go Back to the
Soil. Good Advice.

Let's get back to the soil
and be progressive farmers,
study and read up-to- date
methods and practice them,
for that is what the colored
man is going to have to re-
sort to. Take the advice that
l have given you before,-se-

lease land for another year,
for if you don't do so right a.
way, you will find that you
won't get any, as land is ad-
vancing from thirty to fifty
per cent since last year on ac-
count of high cotton, corn and
wheat.

prizes will be offered. Lots

you might not get any. Let

; Agents. preachers and school

incourage our boys and girls
to be progressive farmers an :
other year. The white peo-
pie are far ahead of US in this
respect, and we must wake up
to the fact that we must teach
our children and show them
by our example that farming
is an honorable vocation. and
an easy one if handled the
right way. The future of our
race depends on our children
and the next generation.
What we make out of them is
what we will be. 1t is very
foolish for our boy and girls
to take business courses then
when they have their business
training, there is nothing to
do. We can make them dig
nihed, educated and polished,
but there will be no room tor
them in that class.
We will have to prepare
our boys and girls to till the
soil and make money in a
way that they can easily get
something to do, Our farm
ers need proved to be a sue
cessful line to carry along
with other kinds Of farming
and can be started with small
capital. Poultry. especially, is
the poor mans stock. If we
see that the common laboring
man is getting more than the
colored man and taking his
job every day, we and our
children will have to study

and other side lines. and car
ry them along with our farm
ing to make a success. We
