The greatest monument that a

SON OF LAUGHTER" 1t is true
human document which the title sug-
gests, and tells the life story of one
of the greatest men the race has ever
known.
Booker Washington said that he
was greater man than he was
that he had done more for the race
than even he had done and why?
Because he made people laugh. he
laughed his way into the hearts of
men and into the hearts of the great
est men Of every race in the whole
world.
Mabel Rowland, a well-known pub
licist and writer, was Williams con-
fidential adviser and publicist for
years. She has made the spirit of
Bert Williams to shine out from ev-
cry page Of the book.
When Miss Rowland first conceiv-
ed the idea of writing the book, she
asked all of the most important peo-
pie in the world of the theatre 10
write page or chapter. In con-
sequence of this there are lengthy
contributions by George M. Cohan. E.
F. Albee, the head OF the vaudeville
interests in America, Shipp and Rog-
ers, the Negro writer's, who wrote all
the Williams and Walker successes,
David Belasco, who wrote the entire
preface to the book and wrote it as
feelingly as IL Bert Williams had been
his own son, w. E. B. Dubois and
Miss Jessie Fawset. whose articles
are inspiring, Haywood Broun. who
has written so many things champ
ioning the race, Frank Crane. whose
criticism of the book is a gem anu

FARMERS AND woMEN's {
MEETING BEST yEr

Last Saturday night about ninety
men and women turned out for one Of
the most interesting and successful
farmers meetings Of any that wa
have ever had so far. The interest
was genuine and the discussions were
Lively in both meetings.
In the mems meeting. we took up
the problems of soil analysis, treat
ment and care, rotation of crops and
a study Of the legume crops, clover.
alfalfa and soy beans. Mr.. A. C.
Cauble led the discussion on the Glow
ers and alfalfa and practically every
man in the room took part in the
questions and answers that were dis
cussed. relative to the growth and use
Of these crops.
The question Of conducting this
series Of meetings was put up to the
ones present and the decision was
unanimously in favor of continuing
them. They were unanimous in the
decision to set apart one whole day
In the latter part Of May or first Of
June for q big general meeting to be
taken charge of by two men from the
State Extension Service who are spec
ialists in animal husbandry. No de-
finite date has been set for that par
ticular meeting as yet because We
will have to take these two men when
they can regularly be In this part Of
the state. but the extension service
has promised F. E. Brolliar that they
will cooperate in any way that they
can to help further agricultural IN
terests ID this part Of the state.
