N a t tiOnal Negro
Business Mems
League Will Cele-
brate It's Twenty
fifth Anniversary

h Tuskegee Institute Alabama, Aug.
S. 1924.-"Negro progress during the
past twenty-five years has been most
remarkable example of American in
genuity and Il demonstration of
American opportunity" says DIR. Rob
ert Il. Motion, Principal, of Tuskegee
Institute, Alabama, and President of
the National Negro Business League,
in announcing the twenty-fifth ami
versary of the League, an organiZa-
tion founded by the late Booker L.
Washington.
In 1900 when the League was or
ganized there were 10000 business en-
terprises conducted by Negroes; now
there are 65,000," says the Tuskegee
principal. NEGRO success in business
may be most accurately measured by
the operation of banks which requires
the highest standards of judgment,
analysis and integrity. There were
two Negro banks in the country when
the League was founded, while in
1924 there are seventy-fOur.'
The National Negro Business League
will celebrate its twenty-fifth anniver-
sary in Chicago, August 20, 21 and y,
at which time Il new economic pro
gram for the Negro will be undertaken
through the work of the League we
SHALL" says Dr. Motion, present
program of business development
based upon twenty-five years of the
Leagues work in stimulating and en-
couraging the commercial advance
ment of the race.
First, the League is going to sell
the Negro business man to America 7;
second, through million-dollar cor
poration recently organized, the Ma
tional Negro Finance Corporation, the
League will undertake to secure stand
ing for the securities of the reputable
Negro enterprises. Third, the League
will assemble and make available for
its members expert and specialized in
formation, on business problems.
Fourth, field workers will carry the
message of cooperation and eff
cheney to the various communities
where Negro business men and wom-
en- are organized.

us. GREETINGS

Washington, D. c., July 26-The
President has sent out the following
message to the President of Liberia in
connection with the anniversary of the
founding of the Liberian Republic and
Independence Day celebration.
His EXcellency,
Charles Dunbar Burgest King,
President of Liberia, Monrovia:
son this recurring anniversary of
the founding of the Liberian Repub-
lie, 1 extend to you Mr.. President, and
to the Liberian people, the cordial fe-
licitation of the Government and the

N. A. A. G.. p. Raises
Fund to Prevent EX-
ecutiOn of 13-Year
Old Boy
National Office Sends $100 to
Help Toward Oklahoma's
$1,000 -

In the legal fight to prevent the eN-
ecution in Oklahoma of Elias Ridge, a
13-year old colored boy accused of
killing the wife of white farmer, the
National Office of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Colored
People is sending 500 toward a fund
of $1,000 being raised by the Oklahoma
City Branch.
A number of appeals have been
taken in the case and the boys at
torney, Mr.. w. Fl. Twine, plans to take
the case to the Supreme Court, on Il
question of Constitutional law.
A. Baxter Whitby, President of the
Oklahoma City Branch, n. A. a. c. p,
writes:
1--WE have raised about $500 in all
through the Black Dispatch and our
personal efforts and it is our aim to
give him (Twine) a thousand dollars,
if we can, for the man deserves all that
we can do for him. The case is to go
before the Supreme Court soon and
then more briefs and preparation, and
he alone is doing the work. He Sc
cures the aid of white lawyers in the
brief writing and other inside work,
and must of course, pay them some
thing"
The woman who paid her member
ship fee in the local n. a. A. c. T.,
after witnessing the outrageous treat
ment of Misses Anthony and Taylor
sets an example for every Negro who
is not a member of that organization.
This woman has at last got the kind
of religion that millions of us sorely
need. The scales have fallen from her
eyes. She has been ushered by most
fortunate change brought about by
most unfortunate case-she has been
ushered thereby out of darkness into
light. She sees the truth.
Our salvation lies in organized pre-
sentation of our case, in organized
contest with injustice, in organized
defense. This organized action must
be intelligent, persistent, courageous,
unselfish; it must have available the
completest facts and be directed by the
wisest counsel. This is just the way
the National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People is work
ing at our tremendous problem.
Every defunct local N. A. A. G. z.
should be revived; every active local
organization should increase its mem
bership and activity; and in every
place where there is no such organiZa-
ton one should be established.
The hour for action has struck. The
Duty of Salvation faces 15,OOO,0OO
Negroes in America.

Worlds Richest
Cold Woman in
Washington, ID. c.
Mrs, Ida Pillsbury Owner of
"Pillsbury's Best" FIGURING
Mills Guest in Whitelaw
Hotel.

Columbus, Ca, July BIN the
$4,000 damage suit brought against
the General of Georgia and the Colum-
bus Electric Company by James
Wheatt, who claims this sum for in
jurles growing out of an accident, Il
jury has just returned verdict for
$6,250 in favor of Wheat.
Washington, Aug. lit has been
rumored that the most distinguished
lady of the Negro race was stopping
at the Whitelaw Hotel and visiting the
city with view of stimulating Negro
enterprises. In many circles it is
hoped she will put Negro movies on
the map and end long felt want in
this country.
1t is not generally known that Mrs.
Ida Pillsbury is the richest colored
woman in the world. Nobody can be
found TO run her a close second for the
honor. Very conservative and retiring,
she has a very unique way of keeping
out of the public eye.
Whenever you see "Pillsbury's Best
you may realize that Mrs. Pillsbury
owns the largest FIGURING mills in the
world, has an elegant mansion on
Loray Hill in Minneapolis, and is
something of recluse. Her wealth
is estimated around $5,OOOOOO.

OUT OF STATE MAN
WARY HAY FEVER

Waterville sufferers Of that disa-
greeable malady known as hay fever
will be amused to learn that a gem
tleman seeking relief has recently
written to Edgar J. Brown, Water
vile postmaster. inquiring If Water
vile citizens are subject to the dis
case. This gentleman, who is one of
the foremost officials in a leading H.
linois college. writes that he is
sufferer of the malicious and invidi-
Gus complaint and that the atmos-
phere of his home town is not bene-
fetal. lie wishes to locate in Maine
around Waterville during the sum-
mcr months but only on the assurance
that Waterville's climate would be
beneficial
Presumably the gentleman Is about
to be disappointed for the letter was
referred to Mrs. Florence M. Wallace,
secretary of the Waterville Chamber
of Commerce, and she has written
him truthfully that numerous Wat
erville citizens are sufferers and
probably are looking for place
where hay fever is extinct or better
still never lived.
This prominent educator assured
Postmaster Brown in the letter that
he did not want to join a thrOng of
hay fever sufferers and he was not
speaking for his family as he was the
only one afflicted.
Mrs. Wallace receives many and
varied inquiries concerning Water
vile and vicinity but she has yet to
have more unusual request than
one asking If Waterville is hay
fever resort.
