In Memoriam
THE WATcHER-MoTHER

VI NJ
She always leaned to watch for us,
Anxious if we were late.
In winter by the window,
In summer b. the gate.
And though we Knocked her tenderly
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more
safe
Because she waited there.
Her thoughts were all so full of us
She never could forget
And so think that where she is
She must be watching yet,
Waiting till we come home to her.
Anxious if ~e are late
Watching from heavens window,
Leaning from heavens gate.

Hear Me Talking
TO You

Out on East Madison street
at the corner of Pend avenue
the Cogwells, a colored family,
have opened small dairy.
They have started in a small
way hoping by your patronage
to- build up larger business,
A business perhaps that will
give employment to colored
boys and girls. Last week a
competitor sought to keep
wholesale concerns from SELL
ing the Cogwells bread, milk
and butter.
For two days the Cogweils
were unable to buy at whole
sale. butter, bread and milk.
They appealed to me as pres
ident of your local N.A.AC.P.
branch. | visited the wholesale
concerns and told them unless
they sold the Cogwell store,
butter, eggs and bread our N.
A.A.C.P. branch would see that
all colored people in Seattle
would stop buying their pro-
ducts. They took heed to this
warning and they now sell
their products to the Cogwell
store. Race solidarity won
this victory. Now let US con-
tinue along this line. Patronize
the Cogweh store and help
them build up a bigger bust
ness.
We are all poor people and
must help each other. Lets co.
operate. Let's stick together.
Walk a mile to spend a dime
with your own.

That's lie. You've ruined your

year." Hensley shrilled when you're
through with the water I want you to
run it under the fence to my bitches.
If YOU don't, by God, we'll argue this in
the smoke. It's plain dirty of you to
run it back into the creek again"
well, suppose could run 1t into
your bitches" Kershaw unused.
"See that you do Hensley reminded
him, and rode of, little realizing that
he had made an error of judgment. He
thought he had bluffed Robin Kershaw.
When Kershaw was finished with his
irrigation that Summer Hensley con-
nected his lower irrigation bitches with
Kershaw's and the water started run
ming merrily down over the Hensley
meadows. But almost Immediately the
flow ceased. Kershaw had opened the
water gate on his diversion dam and
turned the water back into the chan
mel of the creek at the upper end OF
his ranch instead of the lower!
Hensley was now in most unpleas-
ant predicament. In the presence OF
witnesses (Robin, I'd. and two OF the
Kershaw coWboys) he had threatened,
if denied the water, to argue the issue
with Robin 1st in the smoke. He'll
make good" Robin Kershaw, 1st, de-
cided. and Immediately put his house in
order. From that night forward he
