NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK PLANN'
ED.

Keen interest on the part of the
public in the projected plans for a
National Thrift Week beginning Jan
II, 20, has been evidenced in many
ways already, the Savings Division
of the Treasury Department announc-
ed today. The purpose of the week
will be the endeavor to start the
country off in the New Year with a
sound financial program for every
individual and Household. Two ends
are sought.
First, that the condition of the in
dividual be improved, and second
that the financial and Industrial
strength of the nation be increased
by the great sums of capital which
will accrue through the practice
of steady saving and safe investment
on the part of citizens.
"The importance of the country
of the practice of thrift and saw
ing by the individual is not readil!
appreciable," said William Mathel
Lewis, director of the savings divis
ion, until its results in the aggre
gate are summed up. While thu
Country was uuyluS twenty Diiioi
dollars worth of Liberty Bonds, i
also put away more than billion
dollars in War Savings Stamps, AM
savings bank deposits in this coun
try also have. increased some eigh
billion dollars during the years tn,
world has been at war.
"The absorption of the Libert.
Loans was due somewhat to exten
sion of our national credit, but pur
chases of Savings Stamps and in
creases in bank deposits were almos
wholly due to the wise preference o
the individual for increasing his owl
and the country's capital account in
stead of using his funds in uneces
sary spending.
at is to bring to the attention o
the country that it can, withou
sacrificing it's pleasures or curtailin;
its comforts, add several billion dol
lars more to its capital account mex
year that plans for National Thrift
Week early in the year have beel
promulgated.

FEDERAL LAND BANKS EXPLAIN.
ED FOR RACE MEMBERS.
Negroes Take Advantage of Federal
Farm Loans.

In 1916, the United States Govern
ment, through the Treasury Depart
ment established Federal Farm
Banks through which owners of farm
lands might borrow money on their
lands at rate not to exceed over
per cent. These loans may run
from FIVE to forty years. The loans
are to be repaid to the government
on the amortization plan; that is,
by installment payments through a
period of years, which payments
would include the interest and a
specified part of the principal, so
that at the end of a stated period
both the principal and the interest
would be paid.
From time to time there are in
Quiries as to whether Negro farmers
are able to take advantage Of the
Federal Farm Loans. Inquiries made
of the several Federal Farm Loan
Banks have disclosed the fact that
Negro farmers are securing Federal
Farm Leans. A recent report from
the Federal Farm Loan Bank OF
New Orleans states that: IAN inter-
esting sidelight on the way the bank
is meeting the needs of the South's
agricultural development is afforded
by the following incident. Nine Ne
gro tenant farmers recently bought
the Mississippi cotton plantation or
which they had been working, neal
Itta Bena, borrowing $51,500 from
the Federal Loan Bank in order tc
make the deal. The Negroes pos
sessed all the necessary equipment
to begin operation at once. The
bank says that there are other plan
tations in both this state and Mis-
sissippi which may be similarly d.
vided"
Negro farmers in still larger mum
bers should take advantage Of Fed
eral Farm Loans. The location of thu
Federal Farm Banks through which
Negro farmers in the South may Sc
cure and the states comprising thu
district each bank serves are as fol
lows: The Federal Land Bank o
Baltimore for Pennsylvania, Della
ware, Maryland, Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia; the Federal Banl
of Columbia, for North Carolina

The speed and precision with which
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance is

COLORED STAFF FOR THE Z. s
PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 27.-The
United States Public Health
Service, in cooperation with the
state boards of health, is promoting a
nationwide campaign to educate all
the people of the country on the
dangers of the veneral diseases and
the necessity for proper sex educa-
ton; and to more effectually reach
the colored population, staff of Col
ored workers has been appointed to
secure the cooperation of Colored in
dividuals, institutions, organizations,
and publications.
The campaign includes medical, ed
ucational, reinforcement, and social
service activities. Two physicians,
member of the staff, will be con-
tinuously in the field, and an assis-
tant educational director and sec
rotary will be on duty at the Bureau.
The success of the campaign depends
upon the interest and help of every
citizen and organized group, and
the Bureaus is asking the citizens in
many community to assist in this
important work.
The Characterization bill passed
by Congress in July, 1918, created
the nterdepartmental Social Hy-
giene Board and established in the
Bureau of the Public Health Ser
vice the Division of Veneral Diseases
This legislation was enacted to meet
the national need for venereal dis
ease control and proper sex educa-
ton.
The earlier efforts for venereal
disease control were the immediate
response to the demand for war meas
ures to conserve the health neces-
sary to efficient man power. But
the results of the examination OF
the men gave the important informa-
ton that the venereal disease dan
ger was in largest measure problem
of the communities from which the
men came, everywhere in the United
States. Five-sixths of the men in
the camps who had these diseases
were infected before entering mill
tary service.
Special efforts will be made to Sc
cure proper treatment for infected
persons and to make it known thai
the venereal diseases are dangerous
and, if neglected, or not treated wei
enough and long enough to be cured
will do even greater harm in later
life.
And, in order that the lack of proper
knowledge of sex matters as cause
Of these diseases may be removed
special lectures will be given ant
literature for boys and young men
girls and young women, parents
educators, and the general public
will be supplied through the Stat
Boards of Health and the U. S. Pub
lice Health Service.

give them some little token of his
affection and set them down. At
sight of this Colored child be-

edge of the crowd, perhaps looking
for a chance to retreat. When the
big man discovered the predicament
of this child, he reached out his
hand in that direction and said,

to suppose that he was reckoning for
the Colored child, and when by

children from that side toward him,
he said, You, little Colored child,
When the embarrassed little human
