The above is a splendid likeness of
the best agent that the Kansas City
Sun has in this city, Mrs. Maggie
Washington, who sells each Saturday
more than 15o Suns, an equal number
of Defenders and quite few Free
mans. Mrs. Washington is quiet and
unassuming, but an active and alert
business woman who makes friends
of her many customers, of whom sne
is justly proud and to whom she is
sincerely thankful for their weekly
patronage. While some women are
securing and scrubbing every day in
the week, Mrs. Washington, with her
polite and intelligent children, earns
in two days from $4,000 to $4,000. The
Sun has a number of other agents
whom 1t hopes will strive to equal If
not surpass the splendid record of
Mrs. Washington.

That the careful Study of disabled
soldiers by the Red Cross Institute in
New York will be of special benefit
to Negro soldiers is pre-eminently ap-
parent. The Government gives to
them, of course, as to the American
actly the same benefits which come
to the white men. These black men
and red men Are making history in
Europe and their place will be hon
orable when they return and their SER
vices will be requited.
Among the Negro soldiers who will
be returned crippled from the front,
there will be men who, before they
entered the Army, had no special oc
cupation or education of any kind;
these will be given trades and per.
fected in them so that to make a liv-
ing will be not only possible but
agreeable, for they will be permitted
to choose their callings. Already much
has been done in Canada and Eng
land for the black crippled soldier.
hand craft, shoemaking, tailoring and
similar trades have proven successful
to a degree, especially for those who
have lost legs. Typewriting, stenog
raphy, telegraphy have been success
fully taught to crippled Negroes, the
one-armed finding clever devices fol
q iding them in these callings.

You ask how can the Wheatley-
Provident Hospital Auxiliary serve a
complete dinner including turkey with
cranberry sauce, two or three vege-
tables, mince and pumpkin pie and
drinks for 35 cents? The answer is
easy. Everything is donated. Chick
ems, ducks and turkeys are being con-
tributed by friends of the hospital,
both in Kansas City and other cities,
and vegetables are being given by the
sack and the only thing the splendid
women of the WheatIey-Provident
