bearing members Of various lodges.
Nearly 800 automobiles were in the
parade.
The procession was headed by tho
mounted police, riding in line which
stretched across the street. Behind
them rode Grand Marshall Victor

GEORGE r.. WEBICAN FLAYS
CARNEY MOVEMENT.
(Preston News Service.)

Newark, N. j., Aug. 30.-In his al.
dress before the Hks' convention
Past Grand Exalted Ruler, George Il
.Webican, Of Brooklyn, N. Y, said IL
part: ......-
"The future Of the Negro in Ameri.
ca lies in the linking Of his destln..
with that Of the white race and yet ut
the same time preserving bis racial
characteristics. I have just completed
tour OF this country, observing con.
ditions everywhere.
"The Negro is only half free-pv,f.
tically and economically. 1t Is not all
his fault. But in one sense It is and
IN another sense it is not. The Negro
IS politically free in the North, bu,
he exerts but little political Influence
and has no political representation
for his numbers. Despite his over
whelming vote in certain localities, ho
is represented by whites in almost
every important political body.
1.-THE remedy for political conditions
among the Negroes in the South rest.
largely with the Negroes Of the North.
Northern colored voters should exc,
else their united influence TO decrease
slave conditions south Of the Mason
and Dixon line.
Here are four recommendations
which believe will enable Negroes to
obtain and maintain political and eco
nomlc equality:
First-to have the whites under.
stand that the destinies Of the tw.,
peoples are linked in America.
Second:-To stand like rocn
against lawlessness;
Third-To think independently in
politics.
Fourth--To understand tho power
Of the Negro numbers.
"Amplifying the first Of these,
wish right here to have It understood
that l deprecate the idea of Africa for
Africans rs advanced by Marcus Gar.
vey, the self-styled, self-elected proYis
ional president Of Africa, who is the
object OF considerable opposition at
present in New York City from Nom
hers Of his own race.
His name ought to be Gravey. Mar.
Gus Gravey would just about cover
him adequately. Africa Is the centeI
of white exploitation. Africa was prob
ably the indirect cause Of the great
World War. And the American Negro
Is SO far from Africa that he would DO
no more at home there than tho wly1to
man.
II am unalterablly opposed to tn,
Garveyizing Of America. Carney an.

among the Negroes without remember

Plumbing

O brothers when I start to eat ] want no flies upon my meat but when I hear the critters humming and see some forty 'leven coming, Pm glad l live where folks have plumbing. A fly is never clean and neat; he may have garbage on his feet. In country homes cen in this new age he often carries germs and sewage. O let us rise and give our thanks to him who first made septic tanks. How dear to my heart is a cool drink of water, poured by some farmers charming daughter. While gazing on that glowing cheek, of germs how can l think or speak? (But if I drink can l avoid the lurking dangers of ty- phoid?) I fear I must delay the draught that I may look before and aft, survey the landscape near and far and see where certain buildings are; then, noting slope of hill and plain, determine where those build ings drain. And even if 8 glance should show the we'll above, all else below, some excavating should be done to see how straight the strata run. Perhaps they dip, perhaps they bend, perhaps in that old we'll they end. And so, sweet Hebe, don't you think you really ought to boil my drink? Though dear to my heart is the old oaken bucket, the old leather sucker or chain on a sprocket, l view the same with grave alarm at many home, on many a farm. I do not like that buildings style, let's move it back half mile; or, better still, let's join the ranks of those who have good septic tanks.

REAL TEAM WORK

N Most of us have seen the cartoon portraying the two calves, tied to- gether with the same rope, trying to get to separate paiTs of milk. They kicked up quite fuss until they got together and drank first one pail of milk and then the other Probably no two calves ever really experienced a situation of that kind, but as an illustration of what team work will do, the" cartoon leaves little to be de- sired. ,
 A local illustration of fine team work is shown by the men laying the concrete road through the vil- lage, as any one will agree who ob- serves the clock-like movements of each individual on the force. In each of the many operations necessary before the concrete is left to harden, every man seems to know just what to do, and what's more, just the right time to do it. A foreman seems unnecessary: there is no shirking, no idle talk to delay the work and no getting in one another's way. The regularity and seeming deliberate ness of their work is resulting in an incredible amount of concrete being completed each day.
 We are told that seven of the force engaged here, last year won a prize of fifty dollars each and $500 for the contractor, for establishing a national record for laying concrete. If one travels about a little and ob- serves the work of other contractors, he will be still more impressed by the nnethodical, workmanlike ability of the force engaged here.
 This team work is fascinating. A crowd would not be so attracted or held by bungling force of inefficient workmen. And with the thought comes another of force of business men, who, if they worked together for the interests of the town in an equally methodical manner could accomplish even more. While the workmen attract people who are mostly curious, the organized busi- ness men could attract business-and hold it-and boost the 2 2tbwn--s&Fld make it more beautiful-and make it a better town to, live in--and every one would be more prosperous. Truly team work is a wonderful thing.

Pits or shallow wells for the collec-. tion of oil were found in the United States by the earliest explorers, and are believed to have been the work of that race which lived here before the Indians came from Asia or Northern Africa, or wherever they did come from. The belief is that these pits for oil were dug by those unknown and unaccountable people who built mounds in tke Ohio and Mississippi valleys, worked lead ores in Kentucky and mined copper in the\Lake Supe- rior region.

BABSON DISCUSSES THE

 doubt seriously whether the branch bank system is as good for the coun- try as the present system. On the other hand, we know that the pres ent tendency of eliminating the small farmer and substituting the renter. in place. of the aowner-.is not for the good of the country |. The development of chain store, systems which are slowly crowding out the individual retailer is not good for the country.. .-,s,,s.,. .,.-gssss.zs
 ~ ;'ons Christmas MT. Henry Ford tsent me an autographed photograph on which he wrote these words :- Eliminate absentee ownership and industrial problems will solve them selves He is correct in that ab- sentee ownership is a present diff culty with our industrial organiza- tions. As the chain store grows, a similar difficulty will develop which we do not now have with our indi- yidual retail system, and as a sys- tenn of branch~banks grows, there will be that same difficulty with our banking system, Yet I believe these changes are inevitable. Branch banks will be established turnout the country, and Congress will enact such legislation as is needed to make this possible"
 "Mr. Babson was then asked what the effect of this would be on bank stocks and he replied that it should be benefit to bank stocks. There are enough banks in the country districts at the present time. Hence, the city banks will be wise enough not to start new ones to serve as their branches. Instead the city banks will buy control of the better country banks. This will develop a new and active market for country bank stocks. Small banks in grow ing communities will be in special demand. Their stocks will surely sell higher. At the present time most bank stocks sell on book value without any consideration of the value of good wilP. As soon as city banks bid against one another for the country banks, the good will' feature will at once be of value. With banks of small capital stock, this will at once become a valuable asset. Banks which have a small capital stock and banks which have a virtual monopoly of the banking in- terests in a community, will be inc special demand. A community which has four banks will have these four banks purchased by four big city banks so that each of the four big banks will have a branch in the smaller city. When, however, there is only one bank in the community the four big city banks will compete and bid against one another for the stock of this one bank. The stock of many of these small banks, which today can be bought around par, may later be purchased by some city bank at $200 to $250 share. All the country banks need to do to bring about these conditions is to buy good securities, avoid risks, and to keep themselves in strong position. The city banks will be willing to pay a good price for good will and will not especially care about immediate earning capacity; but they win wantS to be sure that the assets are sound and that the, bank has not many lame ducks.
