Fidgety Now
Waconia Men Would Finance Texas
Revolution.

About two weeks ago a suave, slick
sort of fellow, with a very limited
mommand of English but quite pro-
ficient in the use of German, appeared
at Waconia and quietly went ABOUT
calling on some of the residents OF
the village and the surrounding coun-
try. Strange as it may seem, it hap
. pe1ed that he called on people who
through some freak of fortune had
found it impossible to acquire Liberty
Bonds in the recent drive. Strange as
it seems now, his call on these par
ticular persons may have been-u.1-
derstand, may have been-prompted
by knowledge gained through perusal
of an index system containing stack
Of blue cards. Everyone has heard
more or less of blue cards, so why
mention them.
At any rate the mission Of the gen
tleman was conducted with as much
secrecy as possible. He did not give
publication 10 his intentions. But
within a few days he had secured
promises from 10 to Is men to lend
financial support to a little project
which he had il mind.
The project was the starting of a
revolution in Texas.
f, After having secured financial back
ing ranging in amount from $50 to
$3.50, he took his departure after re-
marking in perfectly plain English
that he'd hate like the very dickens
to be in the boots of the men he mad
signed up. There is now a lurking
suspicia1 in the minds of the uupes
that the supposed German governm mt
agent is none other than secret SER

The situation which the United

a fair distribution of sugar to the AL
lied world is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the coun-
try, in homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at low ebb. We must
make Increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur
tailed.
Immense sugar stocks in Java can
not be reached on account of the ship
ping shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirements
have increased as well as those from
the Allies.
Most Industries using sugar have had
their allotment reduced by one-half ;
some will receive no sugar.
Households should make every eff
fort to preserve the fruit crop without
sugar, or with small amounts of sugar.
Later, when the sugar supply is larg-
er, the canned fruit may be sweetened
as 1t is used.

IT HIS is to be the very busy day

ing feature. Miss Elizabeth G. Carter

There was wonderful meeting
held in Shorter Chapel last evening
when Miss Mary White Ovington of
Brooklyn, New York, spoke upon the
Aims and Achievement of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People. At O'Clock
they assembled and standing room
was at a premium.
Miss Ovngton is a wealthy white
woman whose sympathy went out
some years ago to the Colored people
and she has given unstinted service
under the auspices of the N. A. Z. T.
In part she said:
This Association, made up OF Col
ored and white people, has its
headquarters at 70 Fifth Avenue, New
York. Its president is the eminent
Boston lawyer, Moorfield Storey, for
mer president OF the American Bar
Association. The chairman of its
board of directors is Major j. h. >.
Pingarn, attached to the general starr
of the United States army at Washing
ton It's secretary is John r. Shillady,
an authority on questions of labor and
unemployment A former secretary,
Capt. Roy Nash, is somewhere in
France leading the only artillery
manned by Colored men in the world.
The editor of the Crisis, its organ, is
DR.. w. e. B. Du Bold, who in nine
years has brought the circulation up
from 1900 to $4,000. Its Field Secre-
tary is James Weldon Johnson, orator,
novelist and poet.
"The object of the association is to
secure to the Negro in the United
States his full civil and political
rights. 1t believes that in democra-
sy there is no place for subject peo-
pie: and it has striven during the nine
years of its existence to secure for
colored people their full status as cit
izens. In its work it has the law al
ways on it's side since all racial dis
elimination in this country is by our
constitution, Illegal.
What has it done? 1t has no mon
ument in brick or stone as you nave

Home But it has written into the
law of the land, two monuments that

to you as its greatest contributions
during its nine years of life. These
monuments are the two Supreme
Court decisions: one declaring the

MADAME c. ]. WALKER OF Irving
ton-on-the-H Hudson, New York, has re-
turned to Denver this week, a dele
gate to the National Association of
Colored Women and the delight it at-
fords us to express our qualification
over the success of this member of
our race, who is created with abnor-
NAL business ability, is almost mex
pressible. Races have their leaders in
various forms and features, some liv-
ing to see the successful result OF
their leadership, while others die in
the attempt, but this woman. of whom
the race is specially proud, has set
not only a fine example of how to
make and save, but how to invest, and
her special qualities of philanthropy
will. like Others add more to her
storehouse. Many home, an orphan,
an institution, debt, come under her
system of rescue, and without osten-
tation she goes along with a modesty
unusual to people of wealth. We are
specially glad to have her with us and
her deed of helping to rescue the
home of our former leader, Frederick
Douglas, will be a monument to her
and her associates that will help to
immortalize her. Madam Walker ad-
heres to the motto, "He who gives
from pity gives twice as much,' and
that with her genial mannerisms Gre
ate profound impression on her as
sociates. May your business continue
its success, is the wish of the Colo
RADIO Statesman.
