HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY
FOR PURCHASE OF ART

LONDON, Feb. 10-The huge amount
of money which seems to be available
for the purchase of works of art in
England at the present time, is at
tracing the attention of Treasury Of
ficials. Competition for works of first,
secondary, and minor masters is keen
with values soaring price. A large
proportion of the purchases are known
to have been made on behalf of Amer
lea but in expert quarters it is believ-
ed that quite proportion of the buy
ing is being done on German account.
Belief is expressed that from funds
in neutral lands, and even
in this country, Germans are anxious
to make an investment in works of art
which can remain here for realization
after the war.

arrangements have been made by the
United States Government and the
American Bison Society to place a
herd of about fifty elk and buffalo.
the animals purebred, to be obtained
from the various herds throughout
the United States; the elk however,
are to be obtained from the Yellow
stone Park. The American Bison So
ciety states that Buffalo at one time
roamed in great herds throughout
t. ese Appalachian mountains of
North Carolina, a fact not commonly
known. This pasture is located on
both sides of the Pisgah Motor Road,
while two or three underpasses have
been constructed which will permit
the great animals to roam the pasture
on both sides of this beautiful noun
tain highway. This motor road is
open throughout the entire year and
maintained by the Forestry Depart
r2ent of the United States Govern
ment, from the Asheville Office, Verne
Rhodes, forester in charge. AS a
game preserve the Forestry Depart
ment has announced that no hunting
will be allowed for perhaps one or
two years. although the overflow of
game from the game preserve has
restocked the mountains adjacent
thereto and good hunting is enjoyed
by the residents and visitors to this
section.

Pisgah National Forest in Western
North Carolina was made q Federal
Game Preserve by the proclamation
OF President Wilson on october 17th'
1916.
Most of the land was sold to the
government by Mrs. Edith S. Wander
bilt, and was a portion of the Pisgah
forests established by the late Geo.
W. Vanderbilt.
The Pisgah National Forest and the
Federal Game Preserve lie mostly IN
tbs counties of Buncombe, Henderson,
Pennsylvania and Haywood. on the
watersheds of Davidson and Mills
rivers, both of which are tributaries
of the French Broad. The Indian
name of the French Broad is "Tahke-
ostee" which means Racing River"
The acreage will be increased from
time to time as the Government ac-
ouires adjacent lands.

the metropolis of Western North Car
DINA. Leading out from this wonder
full mountain city, situated on the
rolling hills of the beautiful Asheville
plateau, "in the Heart of the Blue
Ridge Mountains" are beautiful con-
crete, asphalt and macadam roads,
coursing the mountain territory in all
directions. The road from AsheVille
into the Pisgah National Forest and
Game Preserve is of concrete maca-
dam and sand clay. The Pisgah
Motor Road, tapping the South HON.

Asheville was built by Mr.. Vanderbilt
two years before his death, at a cost
of S51, 900. 1t is seventeen miles in
length crossing the lower slopes of
Mount Pisgah at an elevation of $500
feet above sea level. At this point is
located Pisgah Lodge, the summer
home of the Vanderbilts, overlooking
the beautiful valley and Asheville
plateau, in direct line with which,
fifteen miles away by air line. is the
beautiful Biltmore mansion. A tract
Of about 400 acres surrounding Piskah
Lodge in the very heart of the Nat
ional Forest and Game Preserve, was
reserved by Mrs. Vanderbilt when the
sale of the $4,000 acre area was
made to the government, at price
considerably under the amount nam

given it, "Pisgah Forest" and her
wish was gratified in the name "Pis-

area is alive with wild game of all
kinds, especially pheasants, wild
turkey and Virginia deer which were
introduced here by Mr.. Vanderbilt
during his life time and given all the
protection possible under existing
laws From a small herd of deer in
troduced by Mr.. Vanderbilt In the
early COS the herds have increased to
about 5000. In addition to this there

How many OF us realize how much

what we are working for?
How many of us realize how much
we will help ourselves by boosting our
competitor instead of knocking him?
To those of us who do not. the
above picture, from Armour. will carry
its own message. No amount of rea-
soning or logic could show any more
clearly and definitely just what CO.
operation means.
Let's all apply it to our own busi-
ness this year and wait for results.
NEGROES, STUDY THIS PICTURE.
THEN ACT.
The Star prints the above lesson in
order to convince some of the most
skeptical Negroes of Denver and Colo
RADIO, as well as elsewhere, what it
will mean for ten millions of Negroes
whose minds. hearts. objects, pur-
poses, ambitions and work are dog
gedly set up on one certain thing
elimination of all caste, prejudice and
inequality for every one-or certain
things of uplift to humanity. and what
unified action can do. This lesson
applies to Negroes who patronize
others than their own in business,
even if you or they don't like the
man or men running in business
Patronize him or. his competitor of
color. Every nickel taken from the
business and professional man of color
only weakens him and strengthens the
chains OF prejudice and unfair COM
petition upon your necks. besides
helping the race who least need your
help. We are our own masters, If we
would rightly and intelligently use
what means which are ours. Think
of 100 Negroes putting 81 aside a
month in a colored company or in a
bank and buying pigs. horses. cattle,
chickens, turkeys and Belgian hares
and putting those animals ON the
ranches of our Negro farmers, what
would it mean in two years to the
farmer, yourself and our Denver COM
munity? A Negro auto transportation
service, Negro commission merchant

and produce dealer, Negro distributor
of eggs and poultry to Capitol Hill
customers and Negro general store
in the farmers settlement all because
Denver and Colorado Negroes are
working together. Study this picture
and wisely develop your money and
brains.
Again, let us suppose every female
who needed such an article would
patronize the only corset maker in
Denver and in Colorado, Miss Beatrice
Lewis, in one week she would be COM
PEELED to hire extra help. Suppose
that in July, when the Prince Hall
chapter of the o. e. S. meets in Colo
RADIO Springs, that the women have
exhibits and displays for their inspec-
ton, thoroughly showing that cooper
ative spirit. When the calves decid-
ed to get together for their own
benefit first all opposition failed.
Unity leads to conference which will
ultimatelS result into cooperation, SO
stick together if you have to hang
together in parts. Success crowns all
cooperative efforts.

which are from 10 to 20 miles away. besides
yer and other places.
The products OF the farms are increasing
and there is now a marketable crop in this
community of $25o.oOo per year produced
by the Negro and white settlers in and
around Dearfeld. There is also a great de-
mand for mechanics and farm laborers.
The opportunities offered in Dearneld for
location and investment are unsurpassed in
the United States for Negroes Of business
ability and small capital. There is an open
ing in Dearfeld for every branch Of business
that is conducted in any established COM
munity. Now is the time for the young
man to start In and grow up with the pros.
perity OF Dearfied The farmers have had
five years the start Of the town. and anyone
establishing a business in Dearneld has the
prosperous farmers. colored and white. ~

No class OF people is more welcome In
Colorado than the good farmer or business
man or woman. Colorado needs 100000
farmers and farm hands. business men and
women. to grow and handle the products
we are now importing from other states for
our own use.
Colorado has an area Of 66.000.000 acres
Of land with a population Of only 100000.
and only one-eighth OF the land occupied.
and twothirds of her population in the
cities and towns. thus leaving open tho
greatest opportunity for good farmers and
for the building Of thousands Of new COM
munities by white and colored settlers. The
white settlers are here and arc yet coming by
the thousands. The Negro will have to
hurry II he expects to partake Of the golden
opportunities Of Colorado. which no other
state in the Union offers. At the rate the
lands and resources Of Colorado are being
gobbled up by foreigners and southerners
the last call will soon be heard. Shall we
as a race put OF until at last too late?
Dearneld Town Settlement has laid great
foundation for the building Of the wealthisst
Negro community In the world because Of
its productive soil. its climatic conditions.
Its close proximity to water. fuel. railroads.
and the best market In the world which
