FOOD o FANS.


We wonder sometimes If Il read
ers do not get tired of us trying to
reveal in an humble way the thought
waves or workings of psychology.
Last week we attempted to show GER
tain psychological influences that
Negro league baseball had upon the
Negro fan. Since then we have MOTTO
ed more food for thought along the
ways of psychology. By an already
established psychology of the other
fellow the subjective mind of the Ne
gro has been influenced to believe,
and so state that the class of all the
major leagues play is impossible for
the Negro to reach. But the objective
mind of the Negro. bold and positive
because it has observed signal men
tai and physical prowess on the part
Of Negro players, insists that high
class major league ball is highly pos
sible for Negro teams. The Monarchs
demonstrated this fact in the three
games they played against possibly the
best team in the world today. The All
Stars beat them and that is all. You
cannot get Negro fans to believe that
they we're outclassed. We leave it to
the wiseacres and know-it-alls to
prove the negative. Most fans who
viewed Sundays game are Of the
opinion that the spoils went, not to
the victor's but rather to recipients of
Anglo Saxon favor from the white
gent who arbitrates the contests. Be
that as it may, anyone truly interest
ed in Negro baseball might say with
reasonableness, after seeing the last
games: 81 see and am satisfied"

ANNOUNCEMENT

there be any final or immovabie OBJ
structions in the Divine plan of
Truth regarding Man, Gods child.
Man is a generic term, therefore, it
means all men. including women. "A"
man, then, would be a unit of man.
If there is a divine plan concerning
Man There is no doubt about it, then
this plan is bound to consider or EN-
brace each and every unit Tor indivi-

tive sense.
So you, l or all have hope if we
have sown bad seed. We have always

SERVICE THE BEST ADVERTISER.

The most fundamental thing about
effective advertising is SERVICES.
Now all scientific service rests upon
good MOTIVE. This may sound diff
ficult but it is really very simple.
What eve you aim, hope or intend to
do in business represents your mo-
tive. Therefore, if your motive is
good the first thing that engages your
attention is a square deal for the GUS
toner. IN seeking to give the Gus.
toner a square deal is where you con-
sciously or unconsciously begin the
now why good service must rest upon
good motive, for if the motive is bad
the service must necessarily be bad.
Now if good service rests fundament-
ally upon good motive, how much
more does good advertisement rest
upon good service? This is why it is
said that good service is the best adj
vertisement.
Now what is the scientific reason
for running ADS" in newspapers? 1t
is hat the Service giver wants the
public in general to know that it can
get SERVICE at his particular place.
And he knows that news papers reach
more people than other mediums,
therefore, they enlarge his business
automatically by calling more prospec-
tive customers attention to his serv'
ice.

A Business that is Legitimate is
not necessarily right or. good for the
community. Many grating and per
nicious institutions cleverly fleece the
unthing and remain within the
law" Solid regulations in business
are not built upon a ~presumptive legi,
innate scheme. but rather upon some
useful and honest service. by theiI
fruits ye shall know them"
The only point a Negro Lodge
makes by bringing a white carnival
company here is that the lodge itself
is too weak and poorly organized ii
nancially to promote its own affairs
on a big scale. So the presence of a
Big White Carnival Company in a Big
Negro Encampment of any kind shows
a Big Weakness on the part of Negro
organization. Now what do the sen
sible common people say to these at
fairs? They more or less regret thai

Washington, Aug. 14.-Three kids, just out of a swimming hole in Rock Creek park, were picked up today by President Wilson, treated to 45 minute motor ride and dropped out at their homes in town so proud the folks there could not hold them with a rope.

 "Hop in," said the president, and they hoped.
 All along the ride they kept their eyes on the president, and Mrs. Will son answered questions they asked. Water from touseled heads trickled over the sunburnt faces and dropped on the presidents shoes. One youngster ducked to save the presi- dents shine and apologized, but was told not to worry.
 Coming down Connecticut avenue the youngest of the trio, thin frail lad, barely eight years old, spied a kid he knew and called to him by name. The youngster in the street dropped loaf of bread and gasped.
 When the kids got out all three shook hands with the president and his wife.
 'So long, bo,' one shouted to the secret service man on the front seat. The president smiled broadly, lifted his hat and started home.

 No immediate anticipation of rec ognition by the United States is in- volved, officials said, but should the inquiry develop satisfactorily, it is thought possible that the elements clustered about the Russian leader may afford a road to the creation of conditions in Russia permitting her re-acceptance among the nations.
