SOUTH AMERICAN
 BOUNDARY LINES UNDER DISCUSSION

La Paz, Bolivia, Nov. 26.---(Corres- pondence of The Associated Press)- Influx of American capital into the central republics of South America for the development of vast areas of hith- erto untouched resources has caused Bolivia and Paraguay to awaken to a realization of the possibilities that lie in the disputed zone which Is known as the Great Chaco
 The boundary line between these two republics never has been fixed defi- nitely because of the wildness of the country, but both nations have been satisfied with going on record as claiming all the zone and then going forcing the issue.
 But now that great development companies from the United States are seeking concessions, the newspapers and public men are urging that the old question be brought mp for final settlement.
 The Great Chaco is vast area north of Argentina between the Pilco- mayo and Paraguay rivers. It is claimed by both Bolivia and Para quay, though both admit that their claims are so large that they will have to give up large areas in the final reckoning.
 For several years Bolivia has been preparing quietly for the day of final settlement, so that 1t is now in a posi- tion to press the issue to advantage. That country has constructed a chain of forts at intervals of 20 miles, in direct wireless communication with La Paz, put it's army in possession of i the strip and settled back to wait for the argument which now appears tc | be approaching.

PARK

Frank Finney and Phil Ott, the two famous comedians who head the az gregation of "Bostonian Burlesquers," who will be seen next Thursday at the Park theatre, have never revelled Tn such laugh opportunities as they have in the present production. They are cast as laundry teamsters who have a curse put upon them by a Hindoo fortune teller who is angry because they refuse to pay him for predicting all sorts of disaster to them. In the burlesque on "The Tiger Rose" MT. F'inney is seen as "the Canuck" girl and Mr Ott as member of the Royal Mounted Police. Of the funniest scenes in the show may be mentioned the poorhouse scene in which some very original comedy material is in troduced. Tho comedians have big song hit In their What What Do You Think of the Hat?" which is utilized as a finale for the first act. A pne- armed lunch scene is also another DOT ton of the show which proves a big laugh getter. .-a&...

A COMING EVENT.

Hon. Moorefield Story has shown
his unwavering attitude in standing
for fair play and justice to the Negro
and is giving all of his time, money,
energy and intelligence to secure
their rights guaranteed under the
constitution. His recent victory in
arguing so successfully the Louisville
segregation case in the supreme court
in which a unanimous decision fav-
orable to us was handed down, marks
him one of, if not the greatest, mod
ern abolitionists. .,'.
We can best show our appreciation
to Mr.. Story as he says: do not
hold laudatory meetings but I shall
feel best repaid, if every branch will
join enthusiastically in the effort to
secure $4,000 members for the N. A.
A. G.. P. We need large member
ship to insure the permanent success
Of our great movement against race
prejudice. Plans are being perfected
for the great MOOREFIELD STORY
DRIVE for members. Do your bit
towards it's success. Join the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People! Do 1t NOW!
LOCAL CAMPAIGN OPENED.
The Minneapolis rBanch has opened
up it's campaign to contribute Its
share to the $4,000 membership in
the Moorefield Storey Drive. If we are
determined to stem the tide OF
prejudice and safeguard our rights;
the association must be strong in
numbers and in financial resources,
and it will be greater power
throughout the nation. The member
ship fee is only ONE DOLLAR a
year, one half of which is remitted to
the New York National Headquarters
and the other remaining half is re.
tanned in our treasury for local ex-
penses. Will you not become a mem
ber and help the Association to- make
America free for black humanity?
You must not be a Stacker and you
cannot be a conscientious objector.
Have your dollar ready for the
drive; let Minneapolis be in the race
by sending no less than 500 member
ships.

We have some among our advertis-
ers and subscribers who are a credit
to our race for their business-like
methods. They pay promptly in ad-

able in return. Others want to know
why we can't trust them?" or send
a bill, and then collector, and finally
censor Negro editor because he can't
run his paper like the white man."
Few persons realize that it pays to
pay as you 60. The Star is not an
installment plan proposition. 1t is a
real newspaper run under many diff
culties mostly due to the foolish no.

whom it serves and protects and from
whom it should get it's support and

WELFARE WORKER SELECTED

"SIEAnG wShNEn oGIcS GC.
Owing to the many charges against
Negroes in the Minneapolis Court
since the increase of that element
of our population, Judge c. L. Smith
has selected Mrs. Lulu Maxwell to
look after their welfare. The posi-
tion carries no salary or police au-
thority, but is one which should ben
eft our people. Mrs. Susie Bogie and
Mrs. w. r. Donovan declined this
special work, because of other So
cial and charitable work in the set
Elements. Judge Smith said he: was
"'desirous of having other ladies take
interest in. this work." He is fair
minded and is always willing to give
the first offenders chance to make
good, and gives the limit to the reg
ulars. Attorney B. S. Smith was
asked by Judge Smith to take up this
matter, which he did by presenting
the names Of these ladies. Mrs. Max
well is eligible for the position OF
policewoman and this position will
give her much experience.

STATE TWO-TH|RDS IN WAY ID GOAL IN WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
 BUT COUNTY LACS SERIOUSLY

THE AMERICAN FLAG the United War Work \ Campaign map at the Hotel Adams corner was ad-
 vanced last night nearly two-thirds of the way to Berlin indicating that the $200000 mark had been passed by Arizona in it's fight for minimum quota of $3O6OO0. This is considered fair but extraordinary all states had been asked to pass their minimum quota by today and to start on badly needed OversubscriptOn.
 When the combined drive first planned national quota was established and from it state quotas fixed With the approach of peace the welfare agencies banded in the United War Work Campaign discovered that their task when peace would be nearly doubled While the fighting on the soldiers allowed but
 fragment of the regulation leisure time With Peace they will have their full quota of leave and it is in the hours of relaxation that of the welfare work done Arizona like all the other states in the UnOn is asked to oversub scribe its quota fixed some months by at least % per cent Those in charge of the campaign have all along real zed what tremendous task would be to up to this expectation.
