WHO is WHO IN eHIcAGo9

There will be an educational contest
given at South Park Methodist Epis
eopal Church on March 18th.
We say contest. In one sense it is
a contest, but the real aim of the pro.
motors is SO lofty that it lifts the affair
from mere contest of individuals and
prizes into service for humanity.
To find out who is who in Chi
cago' is the real aim of the promoters
1t is an aim that each OF us desires to
know. But it is so difficult and it takes
so much time that most of us are not
abe 10 pay the price. Yet we are daily
embarrassed by strangers, visitors and
other anxious persons eager to know
who is who in Chicago" and we are
not able to tell them.
1t is more than 125,000 of us here.
We have people of all trades and pro-
fessions. We have many, many bust
ness enterprises, and we have all kinds
of organizations. In each trade, pro-
fession and organization there is a
leader, or there is one who is studying
and sacrificing for the good OF the
others. Now, who arc those leaders.
and which one or ones have done the
most good for the greatest number?
That is the question we would like to
answer; and that is the question we
will answer after the contest.
When the question is answered par
ill ka ahla 70 ,.1,,,E
ers as an example to their children.
Citizens will be able to show him to
strangers, and students will be able to
refer to them iii their oratsons to in
spire their comrades to struggle on.
The question is being asked so often
that DIR. Bryant, the pastor of South
Park Church. with others, have per-
suaded Messrs. p A. Glanton, T.. A.
Jackson, N. S. Taylor, NJ. c. B..
Mason, w. E.. Mitchell and Mrs. L.
Lilard to answer this question for the
public.
Each person named above will select
six Negroes whom they think have
done most for our people and will
vouch for them in an eloquent appeal,
backed by facts and statistics. After
the oratory, judges will decide the
question for US. Six prizes will be
given to the winners. First prize, a
500 bust oil painting OF the winner;
End. a $40 gold piece; 3rd, $40 gold
piece; 4th, brief case; 5th, fountain pen,
and 9th. year subscription to the
South w. c. Advocate
Every one is cordially invited to
learn WHO is who in Chicago" and
also first hand information on who is
who among the 100000 Negroes of
the United States of America. We
can safely say the stars of Chicago are
stars of first magnitude. Tickets will
be sold everywhere.

We find you can bring out the
beauty of your hair to its very best
advantage by washing it with can
throx. 1t makes a very simple, in
expensive shampoo, which cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly of
all the dandruff, dirt and excess oil,
leaving a wonderfully clean. whole

find that the hair dries quickly and
evenly, is never streaked in appear
ance and is always bright, soft and
fluffy; so fluffy, in fact, that it
looks more abundant than it is, and
so soft that arranging it becomes a
pleasure. Just use a teaspoonful of
canthrox. which you can get from
any good druggist, dissolve it in a cup
of hot water; this makes full cup

easy to apply it to all the hair in
stead Of just the top of the head

"Nmety-hvc per cent of our ministers
are playing politics either by non-com-
initial to moral issues or by permitting
their churches TO be tools OF certain
political factions. Most of them have
their mouths pastered by few paltry
dollar bills they received from some
political demagogue. / am surprised
at the matter in which they condone
crime by policy of non-involvement
so-callcd in politics. To see vice
nourishing and then not unite against
it charges the pastors with criminal in
difference"

is syndicatcd. why not the churches
league together in concerted effort,
forget dcnominationalism. But no,
