Gotten Pickers

Memphis, Tenn.-(C)-Planters OF
the mid-South are facing a shortage
of cotton pickers, it was reported
Tuesday. The opening of colored
schools early in September, taking
thousands of young people out of the
fields has caused wages to soar to
the highest point in seven years.
Prices jumped last week from 80c to
$1.25 per hundred. Arkansas planters
face the same situation.

am pinch-hitting for my dad this
week because he is a very busy man;
he answers the phone all day long
talking politics and at night men
come to the house to see him. All 1
can hear them say is, "let's do this
and let's do that" And before
mother and myself go to bed we
fix some nice sandwiches for dad and
his guests.
As you know dad writes a column
on Negro history telling all the big
things about our race, and do you
notice he never, never says anything
about the small things they do, such
as Jessie Owens winning those races
in Germany.
Now am a little boy nine years
of age so if / make any mistakes,
please excuse me as my teacher and
mother are doing the best they can,
as they say, to make me one of those
great Negroes. that my dad writes
about.
You might not know it but am
of royal blood because my great,
great, great, great, great grandfather
was an African prince Ton my moth
er's side). On my daddy's side 1 am
just commorier or as daddy says one
of the Ohio Mitchells.
1 have a very interesting scrap
book Of Negro people. There are
pictures of famous persons as Mr..
Harrison (De Lawd), Bob Marshall,
Bill Robinson, the colored senators
and congressman, and paintings of
Negro regiments of the United States
Army, the Twenty-fourth Infantry,
the Twenty-fifth Infantry, the Ninth
Cavalry, and the Tenth Cavalry
Colonel Roosevelt's Rough Riders
was saved from death by the gallant
work of the men of the Tenth Caval-
ry, Spanish American War;. Come
up and see my collection some time.
My teacher told us about George
Washington and 1 told her about
Booker T. Washington. She said that
she had dinner at Tuskegee with Mr..
Washington and Mr.. Carver, the man
that makes all kinds of products
from peanuts.
I am reading a very good book,
"Lord Chesterfield's Letters to His
Son." My grandmother says it is
too much for me, but I shall read it
just the same. Here is part of the
letter that was written to the son
when he was five years of age. So
let us judge if grandmother is right
or wrong. "My Dear Child: AS you
will, in time, read the ancient Greek
and Latin poets, it is proper that
you should have some notion of the
foundation of poetry, and a general
knowledge of those stories to which
poets most commonly allude
Apollo is often named the God of
Parnassus, because he is supposed to
be frequently upon mountain called
Parnassus" (You are the judge.)
Well it is time for me to go to bed
and how l hate to get in the tub or
take a tub as mother says. My
father says he took bath in tin
tub when he was little boy, with
cold water. Well, while pinch-hitting
for my dad 1 hope have made a
home run for his readers Good
mite IS. Sleep tight.

REMOVAL OF
RELIEF BURDEN
Up to Industry, President
Says

Washington, ID. G. (ILNS)-Presi-
dent Roosevelt left behind him when
he sailed for South America an
nouncement that he would ask con-
gress for funds to finance the federal
work program until July, 1887.
The president checked over the un-
employment and unemployment situ-
alton; and found that while younng
workers and skilled workers are be-
ing taken back into private industry
at fair pace, there is distinct
lag in hiring older workers and un-
skilled labor.
In five paragraphs, point by point,
he checked over the situation, and
sprung an uncommon surprise on the
news gatherers. The statement was
given out by the White House II
hours after the president had sailed
for Buenos Aires.
Large Number Still on WPA
The announcement, which also con-
tains sharp reply to big business
offers of cooperation is as follows:
/. Unemployment has been in
creasing rapidly during the last year
and reports from industry are to the
effect that further gains in employ
ment can be expected during the com
| ing year.
2. Unemployment relief has re-
fected this improvement in employ
ment From the peak of 5,316,000 un-
employed families and single persons
in January, 1885, the number declined
% per cent to August, 1886.
8. Despite this decline large
number of unemployed remain on the
WPA and other governmental agen-
cies To reduce substantially the
unemployment relief rolls, industry
must hire a larger number of The

ers.
Aid Cannot Be Withdrawn
a. obviously industry has not yet
increased its employment sufficiently
to permit the government to with
draw its aid to the unemployed. More
over. the severe drought of this sum
mer required the use of large sun
of money which would otherwise b'
available for general unemployment
relief.
5. As a consequence, congress vii
be asked to appropriate enough funds
to carry the program through the fis

"to note an increasing spirit of mu
tual helpfulness, and of recognition
of the fact that the way to end unem

CUSSINS & FEARN
New Catalogue Minus The
Union Label

The following conversation relative
to the Cussins and Fearn catalogue
was overheard:
Hello, Bob, how are things
going?
Bob-Nothing much, Bob, only
have one of Cussins & Fearn fall
and winter 1936-37 catalogues here,
and want to see what you think of it.
Bob-Say! that is a pretty good
looking job, nice, clean looking cuts
and good makeup, fairly good job of
printing, Elmer, and some nice bar
gains listed, too.
Elmer-Well, I'll tell you, Bob:
think it looks punk, even though it is
nice looking job.
Bob Why, what do you mean,
Elmer?
Elmer-Bob, you know Pm union
labor man and there is one or two
things about that job | do not like.
The first, and most important one,
is that it does not have the union
I.printers' allied trades label on it. The
second, | hear that the job was print
er in the city of Chicago in non
union plant. Do you know if that
| is true?
Bob Well, Elmer, | know the job
was printed in that city and | was
informed it would be printed in 8
non union plant there.
Elmer-Listen, Bob, it seems to me
that this firm should take into con
, sideration the fact that we people
/ in Ohio spend our money with them
and they should reciprocate by spend
ling their money here with Ohio people
and also invite the business of unior
labor by putting the allied printing
trades label on their catalogue.
Bob You are right, Elmer, right
as rain. Why don't you write letter
to Mr.. Burton West, vice president Of
/ Cussins & Fearn, and tell him how yol
feel about not putting the label on thu
catalogue | will do the same thing
Elmer.
Elmer That is a good idea, Bob
II think all of union labor and it

is there any way we can tell oul
friends about this?

Headquarters Co. En-
train For Camp, 9Th.

The Headquarters Company, local
military unit, will leave this week for
a two weeks encampment, to learn
the arts of war in times of peace.
A departure from the usual custom
will be seen this year, as the Ma
tional Guard will encamp for four
days at Camp Richie, Cascade; and
then ten days at Indiantown Gap, Pa.
The local company will go 81 strong
with Lieutenant Elmer A. Britting-
ham, in charge; and Second Lieuten-
ant Henry K. FISHERMAN, second in
command. Capt. Bradford Massey
will also accompany the men.
The trip from Pocomoke to Cascade
will be made by train; from there to
Indiatown Gap the transfer will be
made by truck. These are periods of
work and play for the boys, and all
are wonderfully benefited by the en-
campment. Pocomoke's company
generally makes a good record, and
the same is anticipated this year.
