The Negro women have done re-
markedly we'll when you consider
they have no protection from their
W race, and the white man looks
upon them as his legitimate prey.
The Negro women should demand
more of their men.
The young girls should get behind
their sweethearts and the Negro wo-
men should get behind their husbands,
and rout them out of their ten-doIlar-
a-week jobs and force them to enter
into business or callings that will en-
able them to get better returns and
care fGp them in a better way, which
will give them a standing that will
not only help them but give a better
standing to the Negro race in gsn-
eral.
My advice to the Negro is to enter
into business now, because T believe it
is the keynote to the solution of the
so-called race problem and the roaEf
that leads Co economic power.

The story of Theodore Smith, Kan

business lines. DR.. Smith, who is yet
a young man, came to this city some

drug store that had been established
by Colored people in this city which

DR.. Smith has been ably assisted
during the past five years by DR..
NJ. l.. Finn, one of the most cour'

our ace group you could hope to
come in contact with Swhile DR.:
Smiths courteous and affable dispo'
sition makes for his establishment a
permanent anu constantly increasing
patronage.
In spite of his arduous business &C.
and civic engagements and is noted
for his very liberal contribution to
public institutions of merit. 1t is a
custom with him at Easter time to
send a generous check to all deserv-
ing churches in the city and it is sell

Immediately relieved.
For two years DR.. Smith maintained
a Free Clinic at 1900 East 18th street,
employing two physicians, filled all
prescriptions written by them at alb
solute cost and paid the entire ex-
pense for the maintenance of this
worthy institution out of his own
pocket.
And in a social way he has enter
tanned many of the most prominent
and exclusive clubs and social organ
izations at his own expense and is
rated as a Chesterfield by those who
know him personally.
In DIR. Smiths spacious stockrooms
adjoining his drug store is a variety
of drugs, supplies, ct cetera, making
it n of the most complete reserve

can be found at DR.. Smiths. And 1t
is quite a common thing when asked
where certain drugs, periodicals, race
papers, household necessities and so
forth can be purchased, that invari-
ably the answer is, IF you can't find
it at so and SOS, you can certainly
find it at DIR. Smiths"
Six years ago at Christmas time,
just before DR.. Smith was leaving for
Boston, his former home, to visit
friends and relatives, The Sun asked
him for an editorial expression that
would hn hn1nf1l RI fhn cfruno1fnu
men and women Of our racial group
who were trying to succeed in bust
ness, and he gave us this brilliant and
inspiring contribution which holds just
as good today as it did when he
penned it six years ago:
For more than a quarter of a CEN
fury the white man contended that
the Negroes were incapable of taking
in the higher education.
Such contentious must have been
based on prejudice, because the Ne
gro has not only measured arms with
him in the present knowledge, but in
many instances has outdistanced him.
The American Negro has invaded al.
most every field known to human en-
deavor, such as art, science, literature,
i~ndustrialism, commercialism, ETC., and
with all of his achievements the white
has failed to give him consider
alton.
And l believe this is largely due to
economic weakness. Were we a
factor in the business and the finan-
cial world we would be in a nOsition
to force recognition and respect.

To Remove Hair Roots
New, Wonderful, Quick Method)

You who are annoyed with en-
barrassing growths of superfluous hair
lave waited long for something that
would do more than merely take off
the surface hair mporarily-some-
thing that would really remove the
hair roots. And now-at last-your
wish is realized!
The new phelactine process Is far
different from, far better than cleo
trical, depilatory Or other methods, be-
cause it actually removes the hair
entire, roots and all-before your very
eyes-easily, quickly, harmlessly! Get
stick of phelactine from your drug
gist, follow the simple directions, and
you will be surprised and pleased be-
yond words. 1t has no odor, no irrita-

A. r. Swain, of Fountain City, said
that while he lived in town he had 160
acres for which he had failed to get
the help needed, so far. Farm labor
is mighty short around here" said he,
and farmers will have to help each
other out, up this way"
Farmers around Fountain City are
still holding a few cars of wheat, but
Manager Powell, of the elevator, does
not expect much of il to come in until
after the corn is planted. The tenden-
cy there is to hold wheat to see what
is the outcome of last falls planting
and what the spring wheat farmers

for higher prices.

last week, and are paying up to $2.55

manager of the Williamsburg eleva
tor. There is still some wheat back
in the country, also some corn, but nc
oats. Some of our farmers are short
of help, but We believe most of them
will plant their usual acreages. Some
