A CITIZEN WORTH WHILE

John Fields is Negro. He has no
education to speak of. He lives on
a little East Texas farm. He attends
strictly to his own business. But John
Fields is good" for anything he wants
at any merchandising establishment
in the town where he does his buying
and selling. He owns his own home
and he has money in bank. And he
did it himself, with the help of his
wife.
The explanation is twofold. In the
first place, Fields works. In the sec
ond place, he has something to sell
every month in the year. He runs a
twelve-month farm, instead of three
month or six-month farm. He doesn't
go into winter quarters nor Gay by"
his crops. He always has a crop of
something coming on. If it isn't ap-
Piles, it's berries, and if It isn't berries,
there are tomatoes and peaches and
fall garden truck. Fields plants win
ter turnips on his corn land, and fall
beans on his cotton land, and makes
his soil bring him in 500 to $500 an
acre. And then when crops of that
sort give out Fields sells cordwood.
It isn't all easy sailing for Fields.
Fields thinks he would like to 90 fish
ing. At least he says that he s'Iaid
of" to go fishing as soon as he got
his home paid ont. But by that time
he had the habit of working until he
couldn't find time for a vacation. But
he had found out how tc grow a
year-round income on a farm. That
IS discovery which a great many
white farmers haven't learned. He
has found, too, that Il Is better to
farm a few acres down to the last
square foot than to scratch ground
over section OF two and have moth
ing to show for Il There are lots of
farmers who would profit by that dis
eovery also. Not that Fields Is try
ing to obtrude his discoveries on any
body. He's toe busy. But as = citi-
zan that doesn't make him any the
less worthwhile. II there were more

BALTIMORE'S BEST DRESSED

Baltimore, Md.-An attempt to live

LATE CHIEF JUSTICE TO BE
HONORED

Baton Rouge, LA bill has been
introduced in the legislature appro-
priating $4,000 for a monument OF
the late Chief Justice Eduard Doug
lass White, to be placed in the Hall
of Fame at Washington. The late
Chief Justice White was one Of Amer
ica's greatest jurists, and wrote the
opinion in the case which held uncon-
stitutional a city ordinance OF Louis
vile, KY, which sought to segregate
Negroes into certain sections of that
city. Justice White, by his mastery
and fearless exposition of the funda-
mental law, upheld the rights OF Ne
groes to live in any portion of city
and declared ordinances to the con-
trary void and unconstitutional.
Chief Justice White was appointed
to his high and honored position as
Chief Justice of the United States
Supreme Court by the late President
Grover Cleveland. Justice White
had fought in the Confederate army,
but as a member of the highest court
in this land he was free from race
prejudice and at all times ne inter
preted the established laws of the
United States in a fair and impartial
manner, and by so doing the colored
race always received a square deal
from him in the way of United States
Supreme Court decisions.-Editor.

The same clique which during the

OF the individual and OF the separate
States-this clique poses today as
the guardian OF Bavaria's rights.
Nor are this gentry devoid of clever
ness II touches the people where
they are the most sensitive-in their
love OF their native land and their
sympathy for the former kingdom
Like all South German potentates.
the Bavarian rules were nearly all
much more democratic than their
North German colleagues. They were
not as inaccessible 10 the people as
was Wilhelm II. and did not take
such pains TO make themselves un-
popular as did the ex-kaiser.
They all counted much more as
human beings than they did as all
powerful rulers or a. ''instrume nts
OF heaven" i'm their relations to their
subjects. This imbued their people
with certain sympathies which can
not be wiped out over night.
