NJ. S.: Some time ago my form
er sweetheart came from the city
and stopped by to see me. Does he
still have a feeling for me? Why
didn't he answer the letter l wrote
him?
Ans: He does not love you .
this is why he didn't answer your
letter. The man doesn't want to
carry on an affair with you, a mar
ried woman. He stopped by to see
you on a friendly visit for old
times sake, he wasn't seeking your
love. Stop acting silly.
C. B. T.: My question is about
work. Will l be able to get a job
soon or will my condition improve ?
Ans: On or about the middle of
September you will be working
permanently on a very good job.
Everything seems to be in your ia
vOr now, and it won't be so very
long until you are in good circum-
stances.
Worried Young Wife: Please
tell me if my marriage life is go
ing to be happy or unhappy?
Ans: Happy -. upon the arrival
If the BLESSED EVENT that is
expected in your house soon, you
will realize that you have a won
derful home and husband. There
'sn't anything for you to worry
about you have so much to be
thankful for.
w. c.: Pm in love with a girl
who is in love with me. She writes
me letters trying to arrange secret
meetings. Her mother will not
permit me to see her daughter at
home because of lies that have been
told What are we to do?
Ans: Allow things to rock on as
they are doing and try to prove to
the girls mother that there is no
truth in what has been said about
you. If you begin slipping around
with her, she will put a stop to her
seeing you forever. Be patient, the
mother will give in before very
long.
M. NJ. S.: Should / return to my

husband after our second separa-
ton and will we get along any
better?
Ans: That depends on whether
you and he will act like married
couples should or a couple of
youngsters in a prize ring. 1t is
my suggestion that you do make
one more attempt to get along, and
if you find you can't call it
quits and get divorce.
C. D. B.: My first husband had
some property in Oklahoma and he
passed away and l want to know
if it is of any value?
Ans: Yes, the property is valu-
able. Indications are that you could
sell this tract of land if you de-
sired to get your money out of it..
The same party that handled the
affairs of your husband would be
glad to help you he's honest
so you haven't any fear of his pull
ing an unfair deal.
NJ. E. j.: 1 want to know if l
should take the trip to my hus-
bands home that he has planned
Ans: Indeed you should. You
have a feeling that she won't like
you, but she will. Take her some
little gift that a woman her age
would enjoy and begin from the
first to respect her. A little kind
ness goes a long way with a
mOther-in-law.
M. R.: am 81 years of age and
live with my son and daughter-in-
law. Tell me why we can't get
long. She seems to hate me. She
aid | mislaid one of her sheets and
I am sure l did not. Will things
ever be better?
Ans: The whole difficulty is that
she's jealous of you. Regardless of
how cross and unkind she may act.
never show that you are angry
with her. After so long a time, she
will realize that you are her friend
and she will be glad to treat you as
she should. She missed her sheet
and accused you on the spur of the
moment she regrets it already.

Rev. Thomas B. Stovall, presid-

opened officially, was optimistic
over the reports which he had re-
eeived as early as the day before

Jimmy Lee Writes About Sundays
Golf Meet

The following young ladies have
volunteered their services as scorers
for the Minnesota Negro Open:
Misses Edna Miller, Jewell Mann,
Mary Lewis, Yolande Coram, Doro-
thy Hall, Beatrice and Kitty Vas
sar, Laura Jeffrey, Mesdames
James Slemmons, William Gardner,
Florence Manning, and who knows
maybe our pals, Inquisitive Sal
and Ess. However, more are
wanted.
Theo Allen, veteran scorer and
starter, will have charge of same
for the Negro Open.
Some rules to follow:
Now in order to make this tour
nament a success, let's familiarize
ourselves with some of the golden
rules that should be observed by
players and galleries:
Do not move or speak when
player is making a stroke. Silence
is always golden, and more espe-
cially at a golf tournament.
When lining up to watch golf
shots, whether at tee or off or
through fairways, pay strict atten-
ton to the players behind you.
Dress back in V shape. This will
afford you better vision and give
the players a wide course for the
finish of their shots.
Do not stampede for vantage
points Immediately after the last
shot is played. Your anxiety is
psychological, and the moment you
start to run, hundreds of others
will do the same.
Avoid applause until the last
player has holed out. Walk around
greens, never over them.
Please do not go through bunkers
or traps, go around them. Foot
marks in the sand often cost
player penalty strokes. A sight of
the pin is essentially necessary to
players for judging distance of APP
proach shots.
Allow players to pass through
and reach next tee; do not forget
when following a match that you
may be directly in the way of an
other-give the players who have
no galleries a fair break. 1t is dan
gerous and delays play to be in the
way.
In the course of play do not ac-
cost a player regardless of how
well you know him. Give him a
chance to concentrate on his game
he will like you better and thank
you after the tournament. Always
consider the player first. Golf is a
gentleman's game and by doing
your part you automatically render
the players and your neighbor an
infinite service.

RISE IN REALTY TAXES
IN NEW JERSEY TOLD
IN PRINCETON SURVEY

Princeton, N. j., Feb. 28-Prop-
erty tax levies have increased each
year in New Jersey since 1888, the
Princeton Survey of New Jersey
Finances reported Feb. II. The 1884
total as boost of $2,5OOO,OOO over
the preceding year while the 1888
levy represented an increase of $24,-
100000 over 1888.
The Princeton experts attributed
the rise to two main causes-de-
pendence upon one major tax base
to supply new demands for public
money and the taxing of the same
piece of property by many govern
mental units working without CO.
ordination.
The figures and analysis were pre-
senteds as a statement Of facts

INDICTMENTS UNDER
UNEMPLOYMENT ACT

Raleigh, Feb 20-Numbers of in
dictments have been brought against
claimants under the State unem-
ployment compensation act for mis-
representing their earnings when
signing continued claims for bene-
fits during the past 10 or IL months,
many of which have resulted in road
sentences for the claimants guilty OF
law violations.
In most of the cases the claimants
signed weekly statements that they
had no earnings during the preced-
ing week when actually they were
fully employed and drawing wages
for the full week, or wages larger
than they reported.
Recently three negroes in Wilson
were found guilty and fined $40 and
costs and given 80 days on the roads,
with capias to issue for nOn-pay-
ment Of the costs. Last fall 20 ne
groes were tried on similar charges
in the Wilson Recorders Court.
Sometimes claimants who have
no right to the funds accumulated
for the unemployed can get by for a
short time in drawing benefits not
due them, but we have several me-
thods of checking up on all claims
and usually detect such practices
before they get very far" said
Chairman Charles G.. Powell "We
are using every means possible, in
Guiding the courts, when necessary,
to protect the funds collected for un-
employed eligible workers."

NANCY KELLY GLAD
FRIEND WAS IN FILM

It's lucky for Nancy Kelly that her
friend Joan Valerie was cast with
her in "Tail Spin" If she hadn't
been, a fatal accident might have
resulted.
During the shooting OF the Goth
Century-Fox film showing at the
Stevenson today Nancy unwittingly
walked into the whirling propeller
OF one of the racing planes on the
set. She was jerked to safety by
Joan a hair-split second before the
blade could do any damage. AS it
was, two buttons were slit off the
leather jacket Nancy was wearing.
Many Of the famous pilots on the
set claimed that it was the closest
shave they had ever seen on the
ground. Of course, in the air close
approaches to disaster are very COM
mon and part of the business of
racing.

fly, stars Alice Faye, Constance Ben

Poultry Records
By Negro Farmres
In Nash and. Gates

Greensboro, Feb, 20.-Negro farm
ers of Nash and Gates counties are
making outstanding poultry records.
reports j. w. Mitchell, Negro dis
trict agent of the State College Ex-
tension Service with headquarters at
A. & T. College here.
Mitchell said H. L. Forney of the
Bricks Community in Nash county
was interested in improving his poul-
try by F. D. Wharton, Negro agent
in Edgecombe county. In the spring
of 1886 Forney built new laying
house with concrete foundation at
the cost of $33. Since then the For
neys have sold eggs regularly, in
addition to vegetables, fruits, honey.
milk and butter.
During the month of December
this Negro family collected So dozens
of eggs from 46, barred rock hens.
The eggs were all sold, at 40 cents
per dozen, for a monthly total of
$23.20. The feed cost during that
period was 81, leaving a profit of
$16.20. In January one hen died but
the flock increased its production
w ~ NO<-~AI 1850, WAl\A1 WC1C SO1O
for $3.50. The feed bill in January
was $3.50, leaving balance of $18
for labor and profit.
P. J. Calling, Gates county Negro
farmer, has flock of 1877 white leg
horns. During January they produc-
ed 2,167 eggs, or 1907 dozen. His
eggs brought only 20 cents per dozen,
for a total income of SAT &c During
the month the chickens consumed
404 pounds of scratch feed, which
cost $685.; 700 pounds of mash at
$15.18, and 80 cents worth of shell,
a total cost, including labor,
of $22.15.
This left Calling with labor re-
turn of $15.23 This does not include
10 chickens that were consumed in
the home during the month.
