drawn by goat was stopped at the
bridge by the toll-keeper.
II got to pay toll? said Hans.

After an argument he paid the toll
and went back again, only this time
he had the goat sitting in the cart and
he was drawing it himself Out came
the toll-keeper. Here you know
you've got TO pay five cents"
The Dutchman shook his head and

Take two cupfuls of cooked prunes,
one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one
fourth of cupful of sugar and one
tablespoonful of butter. Soften the
prunes in water over night, stew until
soft, then remove the pits and add to
the other ingredients. Put into a
pastry-lined plate, dot with bits of the
butter, cover with top crust and bake
in quick oven. Brush over the crust
with milk just before putting the pie
IN the oven. This will give a rich
brown crust when baked.

minor changes cannot be foretold, but

MISSISSIPPI CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO
REPLACE NEGROES WITH WHITE FAMILIES

months have been printing stories
about the evil effects of the Northern
climate on the Negroes. and have Ell
deavored TO show that the Negro is no:
understood in tire North and is certain
to suffer brutal hardships. Emotional
appeals such as that an extra output
OF collins was necessary in the North
to dispose of the Negroes who died OF
disease have also been tried. Not con
tent with this the Georgia Commits
sioner of Commerce and Labor, has
written to The Columbus Enquirer
Sun, and presumably to other Georgia
papers, asking that advertisements
for labor concerns outside Of the State
be refused. 1t is hoped thus to deprive
where. outside of Georgia, there is a
market for their labor.
The true policy. as the editor of The
EnQuirer-Sun points out, lies IN a con
certed move on the part of the bust
ness leaders of Georgia and other
Southern States to see that the Negro
receives better treatment. Lawlesc
ness Of the kind that has been too com
mon in the past must be stopped. Great
er efforts must be given to protecting
the Negro in his rights and to helping
him improve his material conditions.
The South wants the Negro and given
equality Of treatment, the Negro pre-
fers the South. When the white men
in the South begin to appreciate the
part that they have played in further
ing the exodus 1t is likely that they
will be able partly to check 1t. To at
tempt to stop 1t by legislation, how
ever, or by terrorization, or by depriv
ing the Negroes of the opportunities
of learning where their labor Is in de
mand Is to fail to strike at the funda
mental causes.

HOW TO CHECK THE NEGRO
MIGRATION.

Most of the comments about the
migration northward of the Southern
Negroes have dealt with its economic
aspects. The lure of high wages, with
better living conditions, has been held
to be the principal cause of the move
ment. Now comes voice from the
South to protest that. although eco
Monies play their part. the principal
reason for the exodus of Negroes FROM
the South is that they are not fairly
treated there. This is the burden OF
an editorial in The Enquirer-Sun Of
Columbus. Ga. which quotes literally
from The Albany (Ga.) Herald. The
Columbus editor says of the Negro:
He does not receive justice in the
same measure that the white man does
and he is not given adequate protec-
tion. Too scant attention is paid to
his physical needs-those who rent him
homes think that any sort of shack is
good enough for the Negro; the sec
tons he occupies in cities are practi-
cally always unsanitary, the stree;s
usually unpayed, and no incentive
given him to emulate the standards
set by the white man. And the ques-
tion of schools for the Negro fails 10
receive the proper attention.
These points were touched upon by
Robert r. Motion, President of Tuske-
gee Institute in an article printed I'm
The Times On May g. 1t is significant

klansmen for their share of the respou
sibility. AS the editor of The Albany
Herald puts it, no people like to live
in state Of fear and night-ridirg has
an element of terror which drives pee
