GROWING ORANGES AND GOOD
WILL.

Florida papers report the sale in
DeLand of a 40-acre orange grove
for $4,000. the seller retaining the
years crop, which is valued at
$4,000. The grove was bought by
white men from its colored owner of
whom the DeLand paper says:
James Wright is a Negro, and
this grove is only one of several he
owns. Jim is probably worth from
$4,000 to 100000, all of which he
has made during the past twenty
years around DeLand by hard work
and by attending to his own ousl-
ness. He is live wire. His name
can always be found among the large
donors to any fund for the public
good. The News wishes that DeLand

BONUS TO
COLORED SOL O|ERS
(By James H. Moody. }

Speaking about giving the soldiers
who fought in the war against Ger
many bonus, there seems to be
sudden halt made by the United
States Chamber of Commerce, and
serious agitation appears among
them on the question of giving the
soldiers the bonus, on account as it
seems, they fear that the Negro SOL
diers coming into possession OF hVe
or six hundred dollars all in lump
sum. would cause them to immedi-
ately quit work until the money was
spent. Taking into consideration
the small pay received by these SOL
diers in exposing their lives and
health for the good of this country
this objection just at this time seems
a little far fetched. For the sake OF
argument, suppose all the soldiers
both black and white, who received
this measly bonus would all quit
work. go on high lonesome to spend
it-how long would they be away
from their work to spend this money
at the present high cost of living?
The way commodities are selling
now, / imagine that they would
spend their bonus so quickly that the
boss would hardly miss them off the
job.
So that the bonus should not be
withheld on that account the
United States Chamber of Commerce
saws that half million Negroes in
the South would probably receive five
or six hundred dollars each. would
Immediately quit work until the
money was spent" In justice to the
Colored young men of the South VINO
faced German bullets and other prl-
yations that this country miSht De
saved, it can be truthfully said that
no set of young men are more thrifty
and industrious, and have acquired
the saving habit more than the young
Negro of the Southland. 1t is there
fore in very poor grace to undertake
to deny the bonus on such flimsy eN-
cuse.-The Favorite Magazine.

WEALTHY FARMER

Mr.. George w. Jones Distributes
Wealth Among His Children.

Mr.. George w. Jones, for over 80
years a successful farmer and stock
grower in Jefferson county, near
Oskaloosa, but who since his retire
ment several years ago has been re-
siding in Topeka, cut a big melon a
few days ago and passed each of his
children a handsome chunk of the
heart.
Mr.. Jones Is one of the few men
of the race who, in his day, that were
able to see that the future of the
race was in the soil. Coming to Kan
sas when land was cheap, he settled
on a farm in jefferson county, where
he acquired over 200 acres of fine
land and there reared large family
and today they are leading men and
women in their respective communi-
ties, and a credit to the state. Mr..
Jones is justly proud of them. The
farm, was purchased by Messrs.
George and Grant Jones, who besides
farming are also engaged in buying
and selling mules. Like their illus
trious father, they have grown
wealthy. Mr.. Jones is the first man
of the race in Kansas to thus endow
his children.
The following received $1,000

Probably never in the history of the
Republican, party in Colorado have all
those who believe in the principles of
that party been so thoroughly in har-
mony. There is no DETECTION from Re
publican ranks this year. What differ
ences may have cropped out in the past
have been forgotten, because all recog-
nize the necessity of returning this ma
tion to the rule of the people, rather
than to the dictates of one man, gov
erned in his demands by certain
classes The problems of the war are
big. They must be met. History has
demonstrated the Republican party Is
the party to meet them squarely and
correctly. Thousands of old-time Demo
Gratis in Colorado are even going so
far as to say they see no hopes OF
this country getting back to sanity and
where men want to work, VIII work
and work their best, under Demo-
cratic administration that gives more
time to catering to clamor than to as
certaning the real desires of the peo-
pie.
