Navarro de Andrade, Brazilian
Railway Official, Claims No
Color Bar Exists in Industry
of Republic.
(By James N. Smith)

Kind fortune in the form of one
of the department heads in the Col
lege of Agriculture at the University
of Minnesota having sent me the op-
portunity to get an interview, ask
ed Navarro de Andrade of Brazil
slightly less than one million ques-
tions last week about business op-
portunity in the great republic to the
south of us.
Mr.. de Andrade is a prominent
railroad official and forestry expert
who travels constantly.
In his capacity as Chief Forester
for his company, Mr.. de Andrade
travels extensively through Brazil
and the world, and has facts and
figures at his tongues end pertain
ing to business conditions through
all Brazil. He says that a young man
leaving this country with a few
thousand dollars can go to Brazil
and in comparatively short time
build up for himself a prosperous
and paying business.
Any one interested in farming
may start in the transfer, garage, or
commission house business, or any
one of the numerous other enter
prises in any one of Brazil's large
and beautiful cities. Those seeking
to wrest their fortune from the soil
will find opportunities nowhere in
this world or the next greater than
those offered on Brazil's countless
millions of fertile acres, according to
Mr.. de Andrade.
Farming Profitable.
Rubber trees can be expected to
begin producing from four to five
years after being planted. Any farm
purchased containing cocoanut trees
brings a crop almost Immediately, in
connection with which about 500 or
600 head of cattle can Craze each
year on grass on the average sized
farm. Cocoa, babassu oil nuts, and
oil bearing plants can be relied on
to bring a handsome income each
year.
The gentleman being interviewed
had the appearance of a typical
Portuguese but boasted of the fact
that he was born and reared in the
state of Sac Paulo. When asked
about race conditions in Brazil he
didn't appear to understand what 1
meant until referred to my color as
compared to his.
No Race Feeling.
He then smilingly said, There is
absolutely no difference in my coun-
try on account of color. Down there
you are a Brazilian citizen and are
not measured by color" Brazil has
many races within her borders and
all of whom mingle without ques-
tion in business, church, social and
fraternal circles.
The population is 36,000,0O0 peo-
pie, of whom about 95 per cent are

The cynic said, ut couldn't be
DONE" The facts are that Sunday,
January II, 1926, the New st. James
A. M. E. Church is to be dedicated
and opened for use. Presiding Bish-
op A. L. Gaines, assisted by visiting
bishops, will perform the ceremony.
Among the guests upon that occa-
sion will be general officers of the
connection as we'll as pastors and lay
men high up in the affairs of the de-
nomination.
Dedication Week.
The week following will be known
as Dedication Week, at which time
one drinking fountain will be dedi-
Gated to the memory of Margaret
Adams, who raised over ten dollars
| for a new church while she was sick,
and knew death was near. Another
fountain is to be dedicated to the
memory of Mrs. Lola Anderson, who
gave bountifully of her prayers, la
Dor and money in every rally while
she lived, and who, when she saw
her end was imminent, willed a neat
sum to the New st. James.
Sometime during the week tablet
will be unveiled upon which will be
inscribed the names of the trustees
who have withstood almost every re-
buff and insult, to carry forward
their ideal-a New st. James. A re-
dedication of a tablet in memory of
the founders, and the dedication of
one in memory of the bishops and
pastors who have done their part in
the work will be part of the weeks
work.
Programs Planned.
Every night of Dedication Week
there will be well planned and inter-
esting programs in which the best
local talent will be assisted by prom
inent visitors. Monday night, jan
uary Is, will be Church Night and
reception to the Bishops. Following
that occasion there will be programs
sponsored by the Fraternal Societies,
the Women's Clubs, the Railroad
Men, the Young People, and Mime
apolis. Other groups are being con-
sidered also.
1t should be borne in mind that in
one year, four months and three days
from the time he received his ap-
pointment, Rev. Griffin has accom-
plished the impossible by completing
the first unit of the New st. James,
besides caring for his other pastoral
duties in highly commendable man
ner. The new structure, convenient
and commodious as it is, will do
much to forward the economic, social
and religious welfare of the COM
munity. Rev. Griffin and St. James
congregation deserve public COM
mendation.
