THE JAPANESE MOVE
SOUTHWARK.


A movement to place fifty thousand thrifty
Japanese farmers in the, Southland is reported
as heading UP in Crittenden and Mississippi
Counties State of Arkansas. 1T is said that
a giant land corporation will buy several
thousands of acres of land in the Arkansas
delta region and COLOMBO it with the little
yellow men in an experiment to see whether
or not they can do as much with Arkansas
soil as they did in California and Washington.
This prospective movement southwark Of
the japanese hits the BRETHREN of Arkan-
sas right between the eyes for the following
reason Crittenden county has total pop
ulation of 10000, of whom 1860 Or a.. per
cent are Negroes. These Negroes operate
5,o22 of the 5,4o6 farms of Crittenden county
Of which they own 40, leaving 474 to the
Arkansas whites, who own I49 of their group
total. Farm land in Crittenden county is val
ued at $133 70 per acre. Inasmuch as cotton
raising is the chief activity of Crittenden
county, an industry nominally carried forward
by Negro labor since pre-Civil War days, the
question arises as to whether or not the thrifty
laps can raise cotton. The little yellow mans
most ardent enemies must admit that he has
made good at everything he has ever tried,
from making tracks to making battleships.
At truck gardening the Jap is wonder, and
at cotton-raising, there is no reason to
presume that he can't deliver.
Mississippi county, Arkansas, with pop
ulation of 1890, of whom 199o7 or 42I
per cent are Negroes, presents similar agrl-
cultural picture with the odds even more
strongly set against the Negro farmer. That
the Negro farmer That the Japanese are
moving southwark has a special significance
to the BRETHREN, inas1nuch as they are
moving northward. The BROTHER must
watch his step, and not let go his land hold
ings and his abilities to master the soil, lest
the thrifty Japanese absorb some of the
BROTHERS American birthright.
Northern capital, as never before, is flood
ing southern industry and agriculture. More
northerners ere taking vacations in Palm
Beach and Miami than ever before and more
southerners are 'doing" Broadway, New York
ard State Street, Chicago, than ever before,
The Negro farmer, as well as the Negro fac
tory hand must closely watch the exchange OF
these intersectional condolences, and see to Ii
that they do not permit him to be left at the
post by the Japanese, or any other people,
which includes native-borns. too.

CRYSTAL SPRINGS, MISS, Mar.
13.-At the M. E. Church here Sun
day morn ng regular services We're
suspended n order that the congre'
cation might vote on the question of
unification which has heeS broadly
discussed from the pulpit and in the
press for good many weeks. One
OF the largest congregations that has
been in attendance at the church for
some time was present to express
themselves on this question. One
hundred and fifty-four ballots were
cast on the question Of which 127
members were present and 27 voted
by proxy. When the vote was count
ed It showed that every single vote
cast, proxies and other votes, were
against unification, with not a single
vote in favor of it.
The NJ. E. Church split into two
factions over the slavery question and
an effort is now being made to unite
the North and South Connections.

APPORTIONMENT OF
REPRESENTATIVES,.

The inequitable apportionnent of represent
tatives in Congress from the Southern States,
which, by various instrumenta1is;es of evasion
practically disfranchise the bulk of their Ne
gro population, is probably the most vital
question which confronts the Negroes of
America in this day when races and peoples
are going to move forward, come what may.
Last week. in Washington, the National
Race Congress of America devoted four days
and four nights to consideration of the abb
sorbing topic, "The Ballot and Representa-
ton. In prayer, song and Grafton, Race
Congress delegates wildly pictured the ballot
inequities existing in the grandfather" States
which ignore the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments to the Constitution and weep
over the Eighteenth Just few days prev
ious. Senator Bruce, of Maryland, referring
to the days of slavery, had commented upoa
the fact that northern and western people had
ignored the statute and common law whick
had guaranteed the full fee simple ownership
of shareholders in their Nero slaves, exhb
iting, at least faint rernorse over a shunting
aside of the precepts of our Constitution.
But listen world, wise man from the
East has made his appearance Mr. Gillette,
of Massachusetts,, retiring speaker of the
House of Representatives, on February 28,
1925, introduced H. R. Bill No. I244o, pro-
viding for the apportionnent Of representatives
in Congress under very unique plan, which,
III its final consumnation should be beneficial
to the BRETHREN.
The significant parasraph of Mr.. Gillettes
bill provides that 'Wheneyer it appears that
under any apportionnlent State is entitled
to number of representatives less than the
number to which it was previously entitled,
the whole number of representatives to which
such State is entitled shall be elected at large
until such State is redistricted in the manner
provided by the law thereof, and in accord
ance with the rules enumerated in Section
of this Act.
BROTHERS, and SISTERS, too, will do
we'll to procure copies of H. R. No. I244o,
study il carefully, and write to their congress-
men, insisting upon their support of Mr..
Gillettes measure. Things enlanating from
Massachusetts, usually include benefits for our
group. Sumner, Tinkfam, Gillette, Butler
and, bless me, Mr. Coolidge, too, all came
from Massachusetts,. Our group is usually
safe in the hands of Bay Staters.

THE MIGRATION OF THE NEGRO
NORTH.

I1L NEW 1ONh 1ImISO III I'D
issue of March 10th comments upon
the remarks of Mr.. julius Rosenwald
made N It's issue of the day before.
Both communications are highly
commentary of the Negroes, who
have found residence in the north
ern cline.
The New York Times says:
The Negro has been moving
North under double impulse. He
has been pushed by discomfort with
the treatment he receives in the
South. He has been pulled by the
demand for labor in the North. Till
1915 the former was the more pow
erful cause. Negro migration was
something like flight. Since the
war it has been purposeful. The de-
mand for Negro labor in the North
kept up till 1920, slackened with the
depression of that year and rose to
food again in 1922. A new and per
Tnanent factor is our new immigration
policy. The Negro is being called
upon to take the place that would
have been filled by the excluded
Europeans. Thus arises national
problem in a real sense. 1t concerns
the cities of the North which must
reckon with great Negro colonies
in their midst. 1t concerns or
ganized labor, which must face the
problem of unionizirg the Negro
worker. 1t concerns the political
parties. A swelling Negro population
in doubtful Northern States has al
ready given Democratic leaders food
for thought.
1t concludes as follows: go.
The biggest problem is, after all,
for the South. People there have al
ready been stirred by the depletion
OF their labor supply and are recog'
ming that q more humane policy to
the Negro is demanded not only by
Justice. but by practical considera
tions Yet it is doubtful If merely
negative policy will avail to check
negro migration. The South must
make up its mind to compete actively
with the North in making the old
home more attractive for the colored
people OF four Southern States
which have registered the largest In
crease in Negro population, three are
those which have been making rapid
industrial progress-North Carolina
Texas and Florida. Apparently it is
the economic pull that counts most
And for the South it ought to be not
merely a question of maintaining the
status quo. If Negro labor is largely
to replace immigrant white labor
the South, with its great supply OF
co.ored labor, ought logically to ben

tinction never before seen in coats of
this type.
Much Of their smartness is due to
the exceptional beauty of the mate
rials, which reveal designs that range
from small geometrical patterns to
bold designs in subdued or colorful ef
fects.
In purchasing a coat it is well to
bear in mind it's future use and not
select a model that has obviously only
one place in the sartorial scheme.
Among the newest models are cape
coats, so well adapted to the needs of
the traveller, which will be found ex-
ceedingly useful as topcoats later on
in the season.
Fine Scotch woolens in striking
plaided effects are frequently chosen
for the development of coats of this
type and the result is excellent.
More conservative but equally at
tractive are cape coats of wool in one
of the fashionable shades of green or
brown that are destined for vogue
in the coming season.

Fashion Notes That Are
of Interest to Women

While tendency toward a some
what greater elaboration in formal
clothes is gradually creeping into the
mode, in the fashions designed for
daytime and for country wear, sim
plicity is the unfailing rule.
Women have learned much within
the past decade as to the why's and
wherefores of the mode, but nothing
of greater moment than the fact that
suitability is the guiding factor in the
selection of clothes.
Silks of the washable type in plain
colors and in both striped and plaided
designs are frequently used for the
simplest little sports dresses, and
while gay cOlors are sometimes seen,
the greater majority are in the faint
pastel cOlOrs or the more definite
crayon tones of pink, blue, green, yell
low and violet, the latter at present
extensively featured throughout every
phase Of fashion.

Dainty COnfecfion

Dog roses, sacred TO Queen Alex

Velvet Trimming Used
on Dress Materials

The use of velvet as a trimming on
every manner of dress fabric is one of
the high lights of the season. Velvet
flowers and appliques on chiffon are
used extensively and velvet collar and
cuff sets are a distinguishing finish for
both satin and rep dresses Of tailored
character.
The use of velvet as an ornament on
cloth has a tendency to give it formal
appearance, and especially in the pas
tel shades in which it is exploited is
this true. Chinese blue colorings on
navy, and pastel rose with navy are
two outstanding combinations.
One of the most direct effects Of
modern art on immediate styles Is the
Introduction of futuristic appliques as
trimming. These colorful and
geometrical designs give gay appear
ance to the frocks they ornament and
are usually handled in a single large
motif rather than in extensive all
over pattermng.

Fashion once more has hoisted the
blue pennant to the masthead and
sailed serenely into the mode with
this color, the old-time favorite Of
years standing which for several sea-
sons has been somewhat neglected and
overlooked. In the early part Of
the season it seemed as though there
was to be no place for navy blue, but
recent openings which launched the
modes for late summer and autumn
confirmed the rumOrs af1oat for some
time that navy blue was to be of
decided Importance in the future

Manila Folder Makes Convenient File
for Cooks Recipes.

day she had to struggle so to decide
what dainty dishes would tempt her
liegest lord.
Cook books confuse her. She rarely
can find what she wants and. if she
does, the recipe would feed a family
of six. Her mother has given her
several recipes clipped from maga-
over this miscellaneous material time
and time again-in fact she was aim
fessly doing just that when the wrinkle
was discovered.
Then she got an idea-a new
wrinkle-the helpful variety She
bought a MANILA folder-a most un-
intriguing, business-like thing. On
small pieces of paper she wrote the
principal cookery divisions-soups,
entrees, fish, roasts, cakes, puddings,
etc. These she glued to the divisions
of the folder.
Now a folder like this, though prac-
tical, is not thing of beauty. This
bride is proud of her kitchen, so she
covered the folder with pretty fabric.
This was done by cutting a piece of
cretOnne to fit the folder and gluing
it on with liquid glue. She used the
glue sparingly, so as not to stain the
fabric, and let it get almost dry before
applying it to the cretonne.
A plain light color might be used
effectively to cover the folder with
bright motifs cut out and glued on to
make the informal design.
