How many of us realize how much
the other fellow can help US achieve
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
oxder 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 ike the
man or men running in business
Patronize him or his competitor oi
color. Every nickel taken from the
business and professional man of colol
only weakens him and strengthens thu
chains Of prejudice and unfair com
petition upon your necks, besides
helping the race who least need youl
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 9
month in a colored company or in g
bank and buying pigs, horses, cattle
chickens, turkeys and Belgian hares
and putting those animals on the
ranches of our Negro farmers, what
would 1t mean in two years to the
farmer. yourself and our Denver com
munity? A Negro auto transportation

newspaper reports, that ra aciai co-opera-
tion-is slowly. steadily growing
When men and women Of economic
and social standing In the community
oppose unjust Determinations and pre-
sent these facts brnvely before those
who are In authority there are many
cases In which favorable action is
taken. Amid the numerous disappoint-
ments which come to patient. loyal
colored citizens on account of the white
mans failure to understand OF even

the colored mans thoughts and feel

there is in the attitude Of some strong
southern white men who are leaders a
ray of hope that In time justice will
prevail and race prejudice will disap-
pear with the advent Of education for
all the white people.
Women are Invaluable to society not
only as makers Of Christian homes.
but also as pioneers and developing
forces In all movements for the relief
of poverty and pain. the improvement
Of the handicapped. the advancement
of the ambitious and the development
of all welfare enterprises. The social
service work done by women through
out the nation commands the highest
respect Of every body, for 1t is OF high
order Of excellence and has been done
patiently, quietly and in spite Of many
hardships. The work Of women to
aise all classes to a higher level of
civilization has made men realize
anew the great importance Of teaching
all classes and races that any progress
is conditioned by the respect which Is
commonly paid to womanhood.
