City of Cincinnati jubilant over the

National Association for the Ad'
vancement of Colored People, Mrs
Daisy Lampkin, regional field secre'
tary, reports by telegraph to che
National Office that no less than ten
ministers spoke at the meeting which
closed the whirlwind campaign.
| All churches and also the Fedora
ted Club women enthusiastically sup
ported her work in behalf Of the y.
A. A. C. P. in Cincinnati, reports
Mrs. Lampkin, and the closing mass
meeting was said to be one of the
most enthusiastic gatherings ever
I held in the city.
Congratulations to the people of
Cincinnati were telegraphed by Wax
ter White, Acting Secretary of the
N. A. A. C. P, in message reading
as follows:
"Will you extend to the Cincinna-
ii branch, churches, Federated Club
women and all others who partlcipat-
ed in magnifcently successful cam
paign, hearty congratulations and
thanks of the National Office? Such
loyal and efficient work is most
heartening just at this time when
22nd lynching of year has occurred
in Georgia. Instead of lessening our
efforts we must double them 10
secure and protect Negroes citizen
ship and human rights. Cincinnati
has done a great job"
In the course of her Cincinnati
campaign Mrs. Lampkin received eX-
traordinary support from both white
and colored editors, the Cincinnati
Post, a leading white daily publish
ing a cartoon and an article on the
editorial page by Alfred Segal, show
ing the difficulties confronting the
Negro worker because of discrimina-
ton. After detailing the hardships
and discouragements confronting
colored people Mr.. Segal in this ar6-
Gle wrote:
"Now certain white people think
the Negro is entitled to fair show
in this Observation-Disclosures there is
organized the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie, which is concerned with render
ing justice for the Negro now, "To
make him physically free from lyn-
ching and mob violence, socially free
from insult, politically free from dis
reimbursement, economically free
from discrimination on the job. 1t is
thought that many of the privileged
white men ought to feel that this
justice is about due the underprivi-
legged colored man. So a campaign is
now in progress in Cincinnati to en-
list many white men in the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored people"
The Cincinnati Times Star also
gave news space to announcement of
the campaign plans and the aims and
purposes of the N. A. A. c. P.

JEFFERSON HIGH OF CHAR.
Louisville DEFEATS
BOOKER T. HI HERE

In their third encounter in as many
years, The Jefferson High School of
Charlottesville, defeated the Booker
T. Washington Hi of Staunton 200.
At no time in the game did Staunton
threaten. This is the Staunton second
defeat by the same score, and also
their second game, Waynesboro de-
feated this team two weeks ago. In
former years they have gone the en-
tire season without losing a game.
This makes the victory sweeter for
Charlottesville.
For Staunton, Williams was the
outstanding player, for Charlottes-
vile Wicks, was the mainstay. Staun-
ton held the "Jeffersonians" to
stiff TO until the third and fourth
quarters, when the "Jeffersonians"
counted twice more, not to gain extra
point. The teams are both coached by
former State College players. One Of

the eradication Of ticks. which so seriously
hamper the development of the cattle and dairy
business in some sections of the South
For instance not so long ago a bank in q
Florida city carried advertisements in the local
papers. in an educational campaign among the
farmers, to bring them to a realization of the
value to their herds in tick eradication. The
advertisements were of the type of the following
excerpt from one Of them:
MANY of the leading dairy and cheese inter-
eSts of the North and West have been eStab-
fishing plants throughout the South thus help
ing to put the dairy industry on a safe and
solid foundation, and to encourage the DIVERSE

better live stock, and the production Of milk,

What he meant by that was to come % q
great shock In the lives of Robert and Amy
when they heard 1t. and the way they heard
it was this:
One evening in the bar Of the Excelsior Hotel
in Rome over cocktails, Robert said to his
sister:
"This trip Is an awful FROST Amy. Good
Lord, II I had known the governor and the
governors lady were going to be q pair Of saw
dust babies on our handsI Did you see the
poor old mater mop down for q cat-nap today
in the House of Livia, right in front of the
naurals?"
Eyes, and it would have to be In front of
10 Guarded by Argus I wouldn't say it to
the dears for worlds, but can you imagine how
they would welcome taking an earlier boat
home? We could hop down to Antilles then
for couple Of months on the Riviera"
"Ill be the last to suggest it to them"
Leave it to me- darling. know the mother
like book. She will jump at the released"
TT was at this point that Aesop walked In
on his progeny who were tossing of the
remains Of their cocktails.
Say, Rob, say Amy, what sayP Here in
this envelope I've two transportations back
home"
"oh Father-not quitting us, are your"
"No. You're quitting US. Ma and I have
made up our minds to stay over in Europe
this year and catch to this thing called
the culture game I'm going to need you two
children back home. Rob, you're going to take
charge, of the fruit and vegetable Depart
ments, A to z. and, Amy, I've wired back to
our Miss Punt to take you on in her depart
ment and get you hmbered up IN the fasci-
mating study of imported Spices
''Why, Father"
''Nope Your mother and I aren't going to
need you around for the next little while.
We're going to get ourselves ready, the way
we did you, to know what it's all about"
And SO it was. that the house Of Aesop Kam-
merer, fancy grocers, found itself presented
with new manager of the fruit and vegetable
department as well as an assistant to Miss Punt
In the fascinating department of rare and ex-

Their mutual admissions, kept boarded from
one another during the first six weeks Of the
trip, burst forth one night in their hotel room
that overlooked the Arno in Florence.
"Aesop, you may not know it but we're a
