A POET IN EMBRYO

The Llanoites of Louisiana
Make me want to shout Hosanna.
There they build, the pioneers,
Working hard throughout the years.
a Commonwealth Of Brotherhood
In place of grinding servitude,
Not exploiting each his brother.
But in serving one another.
That's the life we want to live,
Giving all we have to give,
Giving all, that we may take
What each needs for his own sake.
Each for all and all for each.
there they practice what they preach.
It's coming nearer every day
When you go the Llano way.

BANK FOR NEGROES
CBx The Federated Pressl

10y Inc Federated Fressj
New York. - A new bank is being
organized here and will be opened soon
at 9Th Ave. and l35th ST.. with the
purpose chiefly of serving Negroes.
The institution, TO be known as the
Globe National bank of New York, will
have capital stock Of $250,OOO, and
$275,O00 will be invested in the bank
property. The funds to finance the
enterprise are being raised by the sale
of $500 shares of stock with par val
ue Of $2lO each.
It is pointed out that the need Of !
Negro bank is made apparent by the
fact that New York, with 100000 col
ored population, has the largest num-
Der of Negro residents of all cities in
the world. New York Negroes own
real estate, the total assessed value Of
which is more than 100000, 900. The
board of directors will include white as
we'll as Negro business men. Besides
savings and checking account depart
nents. the bank will operate depart
nent designed to prevent its patrons
putting their money in unsafe schemes.
It intends establishing close relations
with the other Negro banks in the I'm
ted States.

PARK SENDS SEEDS AND TREES
TO HELP COLONY NURSERY

silliam Park, of Oklahoma, saw the
notice that the Colony wants seeds and
plants Of all kinds.
Mr.. Park had the opportunity to gel
peach seeds. So he Immediately col
lected bushel of them, which he is
forwarding to the Colony.
The nursery now has some Kumquat
orange trees, fig trees, grape cuttings,
and berries, and it will soon have 9th
ers. The peach seeds will be put into
the ground at the right time.
Here is what Comrade Park writes:
These peach seeds are as fine as can
be got anywhere. shall send them
to you as soon as | can get them to the
railroad. You are going to get them
without money and without price. am
enclosing you card, my receipt for
order for trees to be shipped to the
Colony. | am not a member. | wish
! were; but, as cooperation is my
IDEAL, | can do some good, even if /
do live nearly 400 miles away"
That's the spirit! Now, who else
will follow Mr.. Parks examplep Lots
of things yet we need for that nursery.
For instance, we could use berry plants
of various kinds, grape cuttings, pear
trees. plum and prune trees, fig trees,
or the seeds of the plum or pear.

Colony Children Gain in Weight

November records Of weights of
children under observation al the kin

nearly all cases. The gain for Il was
a total Of 1875 pounds. or an average
Of l.37 pound for each. Only nine
of the children are under the normal
weight, / are over the normal weight,
and one is exactly according to the
scale. The average under pounds be-

low the scale Of the nine who are under
weight is only 2.73 pounds, while those
over weight average a little more than
s pounds each above the scale. The
record Of weights is chiefly valuable
las showing that colony children are
well fed, healthy and growing, which
is probably chief Of the advantages
that parents can ask that their children
have.

COLDER WEATHER FOLLOWS
THE RAIN; BREAKING THE
WARMTH OF FALL

This portion Of Louisiana has en-
joyed for many weeks weather of ideal
temperature. Residents have gone
without their coats, and have dressed
in summer clothing. But following the
rains. the temperature fell, though it
did not go very low. New onslaughts
were made on woodpiIes. and winter
garments were brought out. This last
ed only few days, and the weather
at the time this is written is again
balmy and spring-like.

However. I once wrote q newspaper
yarn called "Ths Stolen story,' and as
It subsequently appeared IN almost
every other conceivable form thought
Il was no m ne than fair 70 make a
play Of Il. Il was not such a bad play
at that, and It was performed two hun

OF course, as Il turned out, am glad
Il did.
But once more things happened 20
disgust me with dramaties. "Why
Marry ?" was booked for . third season
through the Southern circuits In some
way an impression had been created
that the play had been written for Nat
Goodwin, and dealt with his famous
matrimonial eareerl So when he died

sionments in regard to the English and
foreign productions Of the play con
iirmed my resolution to return 70 my

But, unfortunately--or, hope, for
tunately--I published a noyeletts a few
years ago called "Remating Tine No
body ever read Il, so far as can dnd

the voice of villa and his brethren,

Of Mexico they have found three strata
Of civilization, traces Of three peoples
who have passed and are hidden under

voice carrying from them, voice
coming up from the buried centuries
and he laughs with the knowledge he
uherits from them. md Ruben's voice
is 80 consummatsly well tuned to the
voice Of villa that Il, TOO, rings Ike

just begun-also his real fun.
The manuscript Of a novel is the
finished product, exactly as Il comes
TO the consumer, except that Il is in
typewriting instead Of type. But the
manuscript Of a play Is no more like an
evenings entertainment at the theator
than the architects blue print is like
house to live in. II is all there, po-
tentially, OF ought 70 be. The play
wright sees all the wonderful effects
in his Imagination, and sometimes
those effects remain only there. The
architect sees the family sitting around
the fireplace and the shadows under
the caves and vines creeping up toward
them. But before plan becomes
home OF even house and before
script becomes a play the architect and
the playwright must each endure an In
finite amount Of patient. painstaking
WORK with animate and inanimate OBJ
jects.
The novelist can state that his hero
inc Is the most beautiful woman in the
world and the reader can never prove
him liar. The dramatist must deliver
the goods. The fiction writer can tell
and often does al great length-what
Is going on in somebody's sonl thou
sand miles away. The playwright can
not show the audience what is going on
in the soul Of his noble hero down
center with the baby spotlight on his
face without the skilled cooperation
Of his actor, who may even 80 have
tho wrong kind Of face or soul.
