WHO IS MISS EYES?

That is what you would like to know. In some issue
of the Omaha Guide between now and September Is, the
acting editor of the Omaha Guide will answer that ques-
ton to the many inquirers in some column of our paper.
Watch every issue.
Well, we ar going to tell you what we would like
to know. We would like to know, do you get anything at
all out of reading miss Eyes" columns that is worth your
time in reading it, that is what we would like to know. We
mean constructive. Does it make you think what you have
done or what you will do before you do it. Does Miss Eyes
column give your brain any exercise that could be con.
sidered an advantage in the future. Did you ever try
working a crossword puzzle? and if you did, did you get.
anything out of working it. AS editor of the Omaha Guide.
my job is to find out what you get the most out Of what
we print in our columns. How are we to do that? The only
way | know is to do what all merchants that have some
thing to sell do. Maybe / need help, if I do, since a news
paper is a vital asset to a community it. is your job to give
us that help. If Brandeis stores merchandise manager
wants to send a buyer east to make a purchase, the mer-
chandise manager picks out a man for the job that has
made a study Of what the people will buy, and when the
buyer returns with his merchandise that he has purchased
stock is taken, and in a few days there is a double deck
advertising appearing in the daily papers. The merchand-
Use manager and the buyer that was sent east watches the
sale, and if the pile Of wearing apparels goes quickly, the
buyer finds that he has done his job well. As a rule he will
ask for permission from the merchandise manager to wire
the firm for an additional supply.
Now we have said all the above to say this. We can
not make you spend your money like we would like to have
you spend it. Our job is to find out what you will spend
your money for and then give you what you want. Now
the next question is how are we going to know what YOU
Our only way on earth of finding out is to watch
the pile Of merchandise that we have piled on our counter
for sale decrease or remain there. The following is a few
of the many things that we have attempted to print and
then cast our eyes on the merchandise that we had on the
counter for sale: A full page Of the N. A. A. C. P. releases
from general offices, George W.. SCHUYLER. the story Of
slavery in Liberia today, Kelley Miller series, and stories
and race relationship, Carter Woodson, w. E. Dubois,
editor of the Crisis, Dean Picken, Industrial News SURVEY
by 2; Hotter and son, two pages Of clean. educational local
society notes, editored by Mrs. Cecilia Jewell, a full page
of the Mirror, edited by Mrs. Rae Lee Jones, and MANY
other items that we considered educational, interesting
and beneficial. We watched our merchandise on the
counter and we found a 40 per cent sales on our merchand
Use decrease from the counter. No later than last week we
had 8 constructive items in our paper that we ask the pub-
lie at large to respond to for the benefit of our economic
social and religious condition in our community. With the
exception Of one of these items that appeared in our pa
