Speaks on Press History

LAS long as the Negroes are
denied their full rights as citizens,
just so long will a Negro newspa-
per be necessary" said Cecil E,
Newman, Sunday, April %, in ad-
dressing the Halle Q. Brown
Forum group, sponsored by the
Adelphai Club. Mr.. Newman gave
an interesting, enightening dis
course on the Negro newspaper in
America.
He brought home to the people
of St. Paul their responsibility to
themselves and to the community
in terms of getting their moneys
worth. He referred to newspaper
publicity in white dailies through
patronage of merchants for which
the Negro pays but receives very
little, if any, benefit.
In a discussion that followed the
talk, Mr.. Newman explained thor
oughly the difficulties the publisher
encounters with a Negro weekly

save your job.
Don't Wear Tight Shoes
And if your feet aren't as small
as you would like, don't try to con-
ceal the fact by wearing shoes that
are too tight. 1t is very easy to
tell if a shoe doesn't fit its wearer
and it will make you appear ridicu-
lOus besides doing untold damage
to your health. Your feet carry the
entire weight of your body and un-
less they receive the proper treat
ment, they will rebel. And when
they rebel, you will discover to your
chagrin, that beauty is more than
skin deep. You'll wonder where
you ever acquired those crOss-lOOk-
ing frOwn lines, that strained look
around your eyes. Strange as it
seems, ill-fitting shoes affect your
posture, your walk, your face and
your figure.
And after all, if 1 must appeal
foremost to your vanity, summer Is
only a few months away and you
will soon be exposing your toes at
the beaches and pools. Then you
will be sorry if they are marked
and red-loOking. Start today to get
them in condition. Apply a little
hand lotion to those rough spots
after each bath. Take inventory Of
your shoes and decide just which
ones really fit properly and which
you bought as a camouf1age. Make
up your mind to be good to your
feet and they will serve you well
in return.

Ragweed Is Valuable
In Tobacco Growing

In the early days of this country
planters soon found that tobacco
grown on virgin soil produced larger
yields Of finer-textured leaf than that
grown on older cultivated plots
Thus, to meet market demands.
early settlers and their successors
cleared forested areas until in time
all the good land had been planted
to tobacco.
AS farming science developed, to-
bacco growers tried crop rotation,
and used manures and fertilizers in
an effort to maintain yield and
quality. These practices did not
prove satisfactory on all soils and
with all crop combinations.
In recent years, scientists Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture discovered that tobacco grown
after natural weed faIlow and re-
ceiving the right kind of CONNER
cial fertilizer apparently possesses
those characteristics observed in the
early days when the crop was grown
on virgin land. The fact that tobac-
