MICHIGAN WEATHER AIDS
 BIG POTATO CROP

Grand Rapids, Mich - GU. P.) Ample rain and the cool weather of early July have caused Michigan farmers to anticipae the largest potato crop on record. The rainfall has produced large sets of tubers per hill and the cool weather greatly swelled the bottoms.
 First diggings were of the high quality and brought $1.25 bushel a 25 to 35 cent premium over Vir- ginia and Carolina Irish cobblers.
 Early onion planting also thriv- ed under these conditions and the crop is moving to market two weeks ahead of normal.

WHAT THE YOUNG NEGRO
SHOULD KNOW.
By ]. e. Van johnson.


When the youth reads of the
achievements of great men and women
of the past, he is inspired to emulate
those characters who have made HIS
tory regardless of the opposition that
confronted them.
The foundation of the success of
many individuals. has been based on
the success of those Of whom they
have read. But. as rule. the men
and women Of whom they read are Of
Caucasian birth, for historians. to a
great extent. heretofore. have been Of
the Nordic strain. and it is quite nat
ural that they devote their energy
TO relate the achievements of nersons
with whom they are identified.

So efficiently and mastery has the
North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance
Company operated and managed its
affairs that it caused favorable COM

editorial pages the paper pays worthy
tribtue to this outstanding corpora

ried an interesting story of one
of Durham's concerns that has not
been hard hit by the depression.
We refer to the North Carolina
Mutual Life Insurance Company,
one of the greatest Negro institu-
tons in the world. The company
has won national attention be-
cause of its sound policies, and
has often called forth words of
commentator by insurance Off
Gals for the manner in which it
has been conducted Without
proper guidance, it could not have
attained the success it has. At
the beginning of the year, the
management trimmed its sails for
the storm, but found fair wealth
er sailing, and with its prepare
lions for adverse conditions, to-
day finds itself occupying an en-
viable position, with an increased
business and protection over what
it had last year, instead Of loss
as would ordinarily have come
under prevailing economic condi-
tons. Durham is justly proud of
this insurance concern, and those
who have been responsible for its !
success. They have brought to
themselves and their race deserv-
ed attention and commentator"

attempts to eniighten us Of deeds Of
valor ana other accomplishments OF
some outstanding Negro personality
but the number has BEEN small and
the percentage Of our people to ptir-
chase these interesting facts Of his
tory has been exceedingly low, and
the resuit ID. that great deal Of Inn
portant facts remain unknown.
Some Of the authors who have writ
ten books of great value and have
treated their subjects In a mastery
way, are. Prof. Simmons, in Men of
Mark; Dr.. VIM. w. wells, In The Ris-
ing Son; Prof. Williams, Music and
Some Musical People; The Black Pha-
lanx; and others that are Of much
interest. But too few have dweiled at
length on the lives of those who we
should know, for If they did feel
that the youth would feel justified in
PERRY-E1GHT
defending the race to which he is
identified, because OF what his race
has accomplished.
The Caucasian knows Negro life and
what he has done but will not give
credit for this progress unless you
yourself know, and let him know you
are conversant with the facts Of his
tory, then he will show you greater
respect.
I feel that those of you who have
read and know something of the past
accomplishments of men and women
who have gone down in history as
shining lights, should make an effort
to enlighten our boys and girls of
these facts for this interesting infor-
nation will not be found in the school
textbook. and If they are to know
such, 1t is for us to give that infor-
nation.
In most cities we have men and
women who are acquainted with Ne
gro history treating on science, liter
ature, political and war. Those per-
sons who have time and inclination
and are interested could form classes
of young people with the object of &C.
quainting them with the facts relat-
ing to outstanding Negroes. The Y.
M. C. AS Y. w. G. AS and Centers
are likely places to promote these
experiences.

Englewood, N. J., June 11-(UP) Pale, nervous Violet Sharpe, din- ing room girl in the Dwight Mor- row home, was !Innocent, simply frightened to death," Mrs Dwight Morrow told friends after the girl had killed herself by drinking poison.
 She disagreed with the police version that the servant girl, who failed to answer satisfactorily all their questions, had guilty knowl- edge" of the Kidnapping and murder of Charles A.. Lindbergh, Jr, Mrs Morrow's curly haired. blue eyed grandson.
 "Violet was absolutely devoted to the baby. She wouldn't dream of allowing harm to come to him." q friend of the family said.
 "She was always nervous, and exciteable. Only month ago she went to the hospital for an opera ton on her tonsils, and she was still weakened from that" the family friend said.
 And in contrast were the words of Detective Harry Walsh, inves- tigating the Kidnapping.

Thomas specified that the British would not negotiate with the Irish when an empire economic plan Is drafted. if the Irish bill to remove the oath of allegiance became q law. The bill was torn to pieces by tho Irish senate and cannot become Jaw over
 the senate's opposition for eighteen monthB. Thus the question arose of whcth- CT Britain could carry out the threatened boycott when there vas only the expressed intention. and not the accomplished fact, to jus

 did not close the door to Further negotiations. The government was said to expect written communi- cation from Dublin shortlys
