LET US USE OUR REASON.

Why are negroes as a rule so poor and never meal ahead? Because they are generally an uneducated class and never INVEST in anything To illustrate, old negro woman came into a bank the other day and put $40000 to her savings account at per cent interest tory bond and get $4 IA per cent but she afraid Now as rule, business men, who make money don't have their money at per cent interest I'll bet you 10 to that you won't find bank president officer out of ten who does The best and biggest and brain fest their alone they do not by preu dice fear, but pure cold blooded reason The men who have made the heaviest investments today in the Texas oil fields the biggest and braniest in the United States and scattered from New York to Cal ifornia Now how can you use your reason alone and come to any other concusion than that will strike oil in large quantities under our land.

We often spend $50000 $500O0O on an automobile for pleasure alone; why not the same amount in invest ing in proposition which is practically certain to make us independent?
