SOUTH EAGER TO
GET ITS NEGROES
BACK FROM NORTH
Southerners Are Even WILLING
to Pay Fare to Me-
gr0es Who Are Will
ing to Return.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. /. (Cor-
respondence of The Associated
Pres.)-Plenty of farm and mill
work, better wages than ever before
paid ard improved living conditions
await suthern negroes who have
gone to the north and who now are
said to be clamoring to return to
the south, according to employers
here.
Southern farmers and plantation
owners want the negroes back.
If there were some method of
getting in touch with them it
is declared the expense of their
return to Dixie would be will
ingly borne. This will hold especially
true for the next few weeks, be-
cause there is need of negroes who
know how to take care of the cotton
crop.
But these employers say they do
no. want northern-born and reared
negroes. They would refer to
bring in foreign labor, they assert.
\ 'We would not hesitate to pay the
expense of a hundred or more
negroes from Chicago or other
northern cities to our place, if we
can &c; southern negroes, particu-
larly negroes who have gone from
Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennes-
see," said A. c. LANCE, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the
Chicago Mill and Lumber Co., which
owns more than 10000 acres of tim
Der and agricultural lands in
northeastern Arkansas. Il think it
is safe to say that every southern
negro in the north would be brought
back without expense to him if
southern farmers and plantation
owners knew where and how to get
i'll touch with the southern-born.
We don't want, and will not have
nothern negroes"
The question of how to get in
touch with negroes who have gone
north was discussed at the Memphis
meeting of the Alluvial Land asso-
citation several days ago and the
subje I, will be a special order of
business at the next meeting. The
association is an organization of
bankers, land owners, chambers of
commerce, planters and lumbermen
of the lower Mississippi valley
formed to serve, in measure, the same
purpose for the delta country, as the
chamber of commerce serves the
town or city. At the last meet
INK it was said there was great need
for more labor in the lower Mississ-
ippi valley and especially for negro
labor acquainted with southern
agricultural methods and with cot
ton growing and handling.

Overheating Preventive.

In cars that use thermo-syphon
cooling, the water system should al
ways be kept completely filled. If
the water level drops considerably,
the circulation of the water will be
reduced and may even be stopped
altogether. With pump system the
pump continues to force the water
through the system, regardless of
how much or how little of the
liquid there may be, but the circu-
lation of the syphonic system is
simply a natural flow and this is

Tire Chains.

Tire chains are practically always
used in wet weather and care is
necessary to keep them from getting
rusty. The chains should always be
dried off before they are returned to
the tool box after use Especially
should the clamps be looked after.
A little cup of grease or vaseline
will prevent rusting and eliminate
the trouble of prying them open or
using a hammer to close them.
There should always be carried in
the tool kit crosspiece tool and one
or two extra cross chains. With this
tool broken cross chains may be
removed or replaced very easily.
