PLAN $4,000 HOME FOR
NEGRO ORPHANS

st. Louis, Mo-, July 3O.-The Board
Of Directors of the ST. Louis Colored
Orphans home have announced plans
for erecting a new building on Goode
avenue, extending from Cottage to
kcnnrrly avenues, and facing Tany
park, to cost approximately $4,000.
Tany park is q strip of land, faced on
one side by the Summer High school.
The city acquired it a year and a half
ago as a public playground and rec
reation center for Negroes.
The Old frame structure, which the
home has occupied at 1900 Natural
Bridge road since l06 was condemned
III 1919 by the building department,
and at the same time the council of
associated charities requested revi-
sion i'll the methods of the home s ad
mlnistration. IN order to preserve the
Institution the board of dircctros per
suaded Mrs. Annie E. Malone to accept
the presidency of the board.
The new management contemplatcs
several radical changes in methods Of
administration. The home will no
longer be a permanent residence for
children, but will be regarded as a dis
tributing station from which orphans
will be placed in good homes. Uni
fern clothing will be dispensed with.
13-Acre Farm Sells for $4,000.
A thirtecn-acrc farm on West Main
street in Bcllevil!c belonging to the
widow of Walter s. Louden was sold

Chancery John Hamin to Sue B. Hall

DIES MONIES BOY MAKES
GOOD IN THEATRICAL WORLD
for $4,000 per week.

One day this spring a smiling young
man known to his friends here as Tom
my Harris came into the office and att
or .riyinp q wear s subscription to the
Bvstander told US iof his plans for
the future He confdea> to us that his
highest ambition had 'been to enter
vaudeville and he was about to realize
his heart s desire.
True to his promise to let his homo
town paper be the first to learn OF his
success we were gratified this week to
receive communication from him with
the information that he had signed
contract for vaudeville tour OF ten
weeks at $3.50 per week.
Mr. Harris is quite well known in
this section as a comedian and dancer
having been i'll the show game since he
was II years of age. His first expert
cncc was with the w. A. Mahara min
strcls. Coming to Des Moines in. 1907
he formed a partnership with one OF the
Nay brothers and this team worked IN
vaudeville out of Des Moines for two
wears Their first appearance in Des
Moincs was in a minstrel given for the
Y. M. c. A. that was then located at
Ninth and Park streets. He appeared
with the late John Midget. The per-
formancc was under the direction OF
RAYMOND Dvsart. His next engage
mcnt was with the Nashville students
where he remained until 1915. During
this time he also played the snare drum
with the Frank Perkins jazz band now
fllinr an engagement at RivervleW
park.
At the outbreak of the war Mr.. Har-
ris was drafted and saw service over
seas with the famous 366th regiment.
While at Camp Dodge he made de-
cidcd hit in the minstrel presented by
his regiment at the Berchel theatre. He
was also 4 member of the 366th band.
On his return to the states after the
close of the war he spent several
months in vaudeville but later retired
TO nrcparc for his new act.
Mr. Harris expects to leave for New
0rk about the first of October where his
time will begin. We hope that his tour
viii bring him to Dcs Moines where his
many friends here will witness his sue
cess.

A YOUNG BUSINESS GIANT.
Bv T., G.. Jones

Many men and women of our group
in Iowa have proven themselves the
equal and in many respects the sHDe-
riors of other races in the laboring and
professional worlds. IT IS Just recently
that we are beginning TO r'n'' TO the
world that we can succ' r. nc cold,

The writer iourneycd ; a few
days ago and was the ',Dcst of
Prof A. 3. Noble hra English
department Of the { and the
breakfast guest of M. q. Madison,
who is a typical example of the rising
Tcung men in our group.
Graduating from the engineering de-
iartment a few years ago, he did the
unprecedented thinn-scttlcd down in Il
snail white college town.
The spirit of development and compe-
tition soon dominated his life and he
had "sct mp business for himself.
After six years of strenuous compe-
tition he has q plumbing establishment
with stock and equipment exceeding Il
value of $4,000. His bookkccpcr is
also clerk of the largest church in Ames.
\ force Of seven skilled men augmented
hv helpers as the job demands look to
Mr.. Madison for orders.
The acid test Of any business, espe
cialiy a contracting business is How
does the chief stand with the banks. -
That Mr.. Madison has first class credit
is evidenced by the yearly growth of
his business. The volume of the first
year was 5000, the second year $33 900
the fifth year if jumped to$75,000 and
this year it will run well above the
$3.50, 900 mark.
In addition to directing this grow
ing business he finds time to draft his
own plans and write ads that are
"pullers' Several of these ads have
been used in various trade magazines
on their "Better Business Campaign. -
Like his business career, his educa-
tional experience was a steady develop
ment. Leaving the public schools he
uttered Sam Houston college, Texas, then
to Tuskegee institute in Alabama from
where he graduated to the great Ames
college,

nlunching delicious biscuits and nego-
tiatinG a delicious steak prepared by

conversation that his message to the
young men of our group is to be cap
able, honest and developc the power of
cndeaVor.
Mr. Madison is Just completing a $780,
coo contract for the Eagle Grove High
school,
A great honor has just come to him
in the news of assistant director of in
".itutc at the great Tu4kcgee institute,
which is receiving his serious consider

Chicago, July 30.-Therc is another
mighty exodus of the Negroes from the
south. The chief cause this time is not
economic, although practically all who
come are able to get work, but the
movement is due to an epidemic of in
tmidation and lynching. Since the
first Of July there has been an astound-
ing epidemic of murder and lynching
i'll several sections of the south.
The Associated Negro Press is care
fully investigating the conditions from
every angle. According to The Mem
phis Times, colored people are leaving
the south at the rate of more than
LOCO a day. This is frankly very con

Chicago, stated that the people are
leaving at the rate of more than 800 a
