standard schools than there are in all the
rest of the State, and no floating debts.
Mr.. Lee stated that the eleven asricul-
tural districts paid So per cent of the
whole amount of taxes, and got go per
cent of the amount paid out for all pur-
purposes The outstanding bonds of the
county are small amount compared with
some Of the other counties and some are
paid annually. The Commissioners have
been able to keep from spending more
money than they take in and have run
the business of the county in a business
way. He recommended that the question
of political side be lost sight of when it
comes to voting for Commissioners and the
rest of the county government and that
the selection be considered a business
matter entirely, the best business men
that can be secured be chosen for the
places, with a view to progressive econ
omy always.
Mr.. Smith, of the Layhill district, told of
how he, as new conner in his section,
had been treated by the people of his
neighborhood. He had called a meeting
for the purpose Of asking for road improve
ment. and the people all came. and with
the heartiest cooperation appointed COM
mittees to visit the chairman of the Roads
Commission, and with the help Of Senator
Jones within six weeks from the time he
started the movement the agreement of
the Commission to take over the road was
complete, and work will be begun on it
this spring.
Mr.. Charles F. Brooke moved a vote of
thanks to Mr.. Lee. which was unanimously
carried.
Mr. Charles Hartshorne said that he ap-
proved the matter Of business methods in
county affairs. but it was question with
him whether our taxes with the low rate
were not really higher than some Of the
counties with the higher rates, and cited
an instance of farm partly in Howard
and partly in Montgomery. on which the
taxes per acre were nearly double on the
montgomery SIDE.
Mr.. Frederick Stabler said that he is
now in Loudoun county, Va, and no mat
ter what the taxes are here the taxpayers
get something for what they pay in. while
there any improvement in roads, schools
or otherwise seems to require subscrip
ton by those interested before it can be
made as there is never any money for It.
The convention then adjourned with full
house. something that rarely ever hap
pens, but interest was sustained to such
an extent by the speakers that every one
wanted to hear them all.

FORD.
INTERESTING FACTS.
|1O5, 799 Ford Cars and Trucks retailed
in December.
Approximately the same number
scheduled for delivery last month.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
This volume of deliveries to actual
owners is entirely unprecedented for
This time OF the year.
1t has taxed the manufacturine. abil
1ty of the Ford plants working at full
capacity.
IL indicates a volume of business DUR
m Inc rapidly approaching: months
OF "heaXy demand" which will be far
ule which the Ford Motor Co. has set.
And that means Ford shortage even
more acute than the one which existed
last Spring and Summer.
Dealers stocks all over the country
are low---there are no reserves to draw
upon to meet the demands for delivery.
There is no way in which dealer re-
serves can be built up as deliveries
Cars could be manufactured since last
April.
The only way you can protect your de-
sire to obtain prompt delivery of a Ford
even at this time is TO place your order
Immediately.
This emphasizes more strongly than
anything we could possibly say the
necessity Of your making prompt ar
arrangements with a Ford Dealer for the
1lst1ng OF your order, particularly if you
are contemplating the purchase Of a
Ford Car or Truck for use this Spring or
Summer.
We believe you are entitled to know
tnese facts as they actually exist.

progress in the better

and in the Improvement of race re-
lations was made in Kentucky last
year, according DO reports presented
at the recent annual meeting in this
city of the State Commission on In
terracial Cooperation. This Com
mission is headed by the Governor,
and its membership of eighty, half of
them colored, is made up Of repres-
entatiye leaders in all lines, includ-
ing. the State Superintendent of Edu-
cation, who is one of its most SYM
pathetic members. It will be seen
therefore, that is is q most influenc.
ial body, capable of bringing things
to pass. The work is directed by DR.
James Bond, a colored leader OF
ability and fine spirit, who has had
the sympathy and cooperation of the
best people in the state.

Cooperation Greatest
Need of Race---Chisun

Melvin Chisum, field secretary OF
the National Negro Press Associa-
tion, visited st. Paul for a few days
last week on his nationwide tour.
Mr.. Chisum came originally as a
guest of The Northwestern Bulletin,
but during his stay was entertained
by the st. Paul Business League.
The purpose Of his tour is to interest
colored business men in the support
OF the colored press to the end that
both may prosper.
Monday night he was the principal
speaker at banquet of business and
professional men and women. In his
address Mr.. Chisum pointed out that
colored people all over the country
were cooperating as never before.
An example Of this he cited the
work of the Dyer bill lobby at Wash
ington where all factions united will
ingly under the orders of James
Weldon johnson. Even DR.. Moron
gladly dropped his work at Tuskegee
and spent four days in Washington
at the request Of Mr., johnson. n
Chisum urged more of this sort of
cooperation in all branches Of race
activity and especially between the
business men and the newspapers.
He left for the east Tuesday night.

E. church, corner Fuller and Jay SITS.
This was the largest number of boys

work on the part of the boys and
their leaders. Odell D. Smith is
scoutmaster of the troop. John
Lawrence and Herbert Foster are as
sistants. Thomas Neal, ]. Wesley
Kelly, and Roy Wilkins form. the

GEORGES WHITEWASHED
BY FRENCH FEDERATION

Paris, February 2-The white-wash
has been thicklv lathered over -Georg-
es Carpenter, Sikh has been handed
a black eye and the prestige of the
white imperialist nations, Britain,
France, Italy, etc., has been artifici-
ally bolstered up by the decision just
handed in by the French Boxing Fed
eration's Committee Of Investigation
to the effect that Georges Carpen-
tier did not try to frame his fight
with Sikh. The report, announced by
the Federation today, exonorates
Georges and also acquits his mana,
ger, Francois Descamps, as well as
Maurice Hellers, who was Skis
manager at the time of Carpenters
knockout.
Thus is whitewashed the scandal
which Sikh provoked when he, re-
belling against the color line, de-
clared that he was supposed to take
a knockout in the fourth round but
changed his mind, and fighting back.
Won the world light heavyweight
championship in such fashion that
Georges was confined to his home for
several weeks following the bout.

One Of the unfortunate admissions
of the main speaker at the Business
League banquet Monday night was
that the sheriff eventually got most
of the newspapers that he ran.
Among his auditors was a partner in
the second largest damp wash laun-
dry in Minneapolis, business which
has been built up by perseverance and
business acumen, the proprietor of a
modern drug store in restricted north
Minneapolis with an exclusively white
trade, successful undertaken, a doc
tor and a lawyer more than half of
whose clients /are white and the pro-
prietor of one Of the most complete
sanitary shops in the country. Every
one of these men, perhaps, with the
possible exception of the undertaken,
could lose his colored trade tomorrow
and still flourish. They are success
full in business not because a large
colored trade is driven to them by
segregation and discrimination in
white stores, but because they, by
heir business ability have set up con-
Germs that have stood the test of COM
petition. To these men, the advice
of one who has run nine newspapers
to the wall is to be taken with eau
lion, if at all.

b slightly higher commission than
ordinary subscription solicitors. This
additional amount we gladly offer

II would stand by the side of the
humblest Negro and defend him from
mob violence with a rife" This is
not quotation from Wendell Phil
lips, dear reader. It emanates from
no less a parsonage than Thomas
Dixon, author of the "Clansman''
from which the film, "The Birth of a
Nation" was made. It does us some
slight good to know that Mr.. Dixon
has experienced change of heart,
that he deplores the activities of the
Khan, and that he is willing to de-
fend the colored man from violence.
We cannot forget, however, that it is
impossible for Mr.. Dixon to change
the hearts of the millions who have
read his book and seen his play. He
cannot extract the poison from their
minds or the suspicion and hate from
their hearts. We shall never forget
that we heard learned and cultured
gentleman friend of the colored-
American and student of his prob
lens say that no white man could see
''The Birth of Nation" and come
away without hate for the black man.
These are the seeds Mr.. Dixon has
sown. No amount of grandstand elo-
quence at this late date can stop the
harvest.
