A MATTER OF BUSINESS

The primary object of any business venture is
to make money Publishing newspaper is class
ed as a business, so we may deduce the statement
that the primary object of publishing a newspaper
is the making of money.
Since we have been in business We have found
but two sources of revenue, one from advertising,
the other from subscription, but we have every
reason to believe than some people think we have
another source from whence we can get money
to pay our bills.
AS a matter of business we urge those who are
indebted to us for either advertising or for sub
scripton to remit to us a check when their account
falls due. There is not barrell of money to be
made in the publishing business. A small four
page paper does not warrant a large working
force consequently we must plead with our con-
Sttuents for better cooperation.
To those who are ever alert and ready to coop
crate with us, we wish to thank very heartily and
to those who think we have some other source of
getting money to pay our bills other than the two
we mentioned before we wish to enlghten We
must have your cooperation, otherwise the service
we wish to render will be discontinued. Delin-
quents must pay up their subscriptions; adverti-
sers must keep up their accounts or there is but
one alternative for us.

JULY FOURTH DONTS

"Donts" for safe and sane 4th of July cele-
bration have been listed by Arthur H. Young
president of the National Safety council, in APP
pealing for GLORIOUS day and not disastrous
one"
Children particularly should be guarded he
said, in pointing out that in the last 20 years
more than 1000 persons have lost their lives
through carelessness with fireworks.
Here are some of the "dont's"
Don't burn gunpowder.
Don't allow children to hold "sparkers" or
lighted frecrackers.
Don't let children light matches and don't throw
down lighted match.
Don't build bonfire for fun.
Don't discharge firearms
Don't let anyone run with clothes Attire Tear
off the burning garment or smoother it with wool

GARVEY

The consideration the st. Paul division of the
Universal Negro Improvement Association has re-
ceived from Marcus Garvey and from the parent
body of the Garvey organization during the last
few weeks certainly has not tended to make the
organization stronger here, insofar as public opin-
ion the enthusiasm of its members is concerned.
Everywhere Garvey is hailed as a marvel or
ganizer, even by people who have no other good
word for him. Some go so far as to say he is a
genius He may be, but with us Mr.. Garvey loses
every compliment we may have been able to say
of him had he put himself in appearance in ST..
Paul June 1917 as it was advertised by the local
branch through the instructions of the home office
in New York. More than two weeks have passed
since Garvey was supposed to speak and disap-
pointed many who paid admissions to hear him
still no word, no apology, no explanation has
been received by the local organization in regard
to his failure to fulfill his engagement here on
June 1917.
An apology is not in order but an explanation
from Mr.. Garvey or his colleagues explaining how
Garvey possibly could speak in Phoenix, Arizona
on June 13, in st. Paul on June 1911 then in
Dallas, Texas on June 20, all in the year 1922
This is an impossible schedule since Garveys or
ganization does not include Black Star Airship
Line Still the great organizer may either explain
how the clog in the machinery came to pass or as
he told the judge recently when on trial in New
York City charged with using the mails to de-
fraud 81 have nothing to do with the records
You'll have to ask my secretary
Anyway, we are of the opinion that the next
time Garvey advertises to speak in ST. Paul the
best methods of advertising he can follow will be
to take the stump and do his own advertising right
here in this dear old city.
