Among the business men who
presented their problems to the
conference was DR.. ]. L. Walker,
president of the National Negro
Business League, who like the
message Ia the conference of g.
G. Spaulding, president of North
Carolina Mutual Life Insurance
Company, stressed the wisdom of
Booker T. Washington in emphas-
the race, and asked for a STREAM
lined" adaptation of this great lea
ders advice. James A. jackson,
special representative of the Es-
so Marketers, while discussing the
purchasing power of the Negro as
a basis for Negro businss, warn
ed his audience of the danger of
trying to create a separate econ
omic setup and said our greatest
problem was migrating our bus
mess into the general national
system .
A great deal of emphasis was
placed by the employers of Negro
labor at the conference on the fact
that at present the colleges are
not doing much in preparing the
young Negro college graduate Ell
ther for business opportunities or
encouraging them to seek these
opportunities. Dick" Jones, we'll
known and successful Chicago
business man, discussed the prob
lens and difficulties of retailing
and the fact that special training
is essential. Giles A. Hubert,
assistant to the direction of the
Director of the Rural Rehabilita-
ton division of the Farm Security
Administration, spoke of the diff
iculty of finding adequately train
ed Negroes to administer the var
ious local projects and outlined in
detail the opportunities open to
those who we're even partially
trained for the work.
As one solution for the building
up of Negro purchasing power the
cooperative was suggested. Fol-
lowing a scholarly discussion of
the problem of consumer educat-
ion by DR.. Booker T. McGraw, de-
partment of economics and busin-
ess administration, Lincoln univ
ersity, Missouri, Cornelius King,
special assistant to the governor

ton, spoke of the potential econ
omics inherent in Cooperative buy
ing and selling. The concluding
address on this session was by j.
H. Gadson, Jr., Georgia State In
dustrial college, who told in prac-
teal terms what had been done
at the Georgia school in the estab
lishment of a Notwithstanding CO.
operative store.
National defense and the Negro
port in this current movement. in
a military way and economically
was the theme of the banquet
meeting. DIR. Rayford w. Logan
Howard university, and DIR. Rcb-
ert C. Weaver, National Defense
council, were the speakers. The
Importance of having the Negro
play his proper role in the def
ense and preparation of our nat.
ion caused this session to be par
ticularly interesting. While boil
speakers admitted the Negro hat
not yet received the op~portunitie.
which are rightfully his, DR.. sWea
ver was optimistic as to future de
velopments.
DR.. F. G.. Clark, president o

way, Bentley = if he is head of the ring-doesn't suspect me. He couldn't have learned Hugh's name. He thinks I'm just a dumb cowhand, and If I get caught up around his place I can always say I'm hunting a stray. Being this close to him gives me a chance to watch what he does.
 But I can't figure out why he went to the trouble of stealing your car. Have you any idea why he'd do that?"
 No" she answered slowly. He likes to drive 1t, though. He asked to borrow 1t several times. But that's one thing I never lend. I always make him use the ranch car. He wanted to use 1t that Sat- urday night, too. When I refused, he said he'd send someone over for the ranch car. But no one came"
 The drone of motor came from the west. Larry was instantly alert.
 Here comes the plane now with another shipment. I'll have to hurry" He jumped up, ran to catch her horse and his own. I'm going to have closer look this time. Be back by dawn"
 She held him tight as he kissed her. You go on back to the house now. Keep track of Bentley, where he goes, what he does. Don't let him know about about us. Don't let anyone know yet Goodby, darling" He tried to push free from her arms, but she held him.

CHAPTER X

The person riding up the hill was making no effort to conceal his coming. A white hat topped the crest, the horse and rider came in- to view. Larry relaxed. It was Mon nie.
 What do you mean, trailing out here after midnight?" he demand ed as she rode up to him. T might have shot you"
 T never thought of it," she laughed as she dismounted. "Ive been watching you ride out every night. I was curious wanted 10 find out what was going on. So I followed you. My, but it's pretty out here = never realized the ranch could be 50 beautiful at night"
 She stood there in the starlight, Der hat pushed back on her curls, trim and boyish in leather jacket, fitted riding pants, and cowboy boots. Larry wondered If she realized how beautiful she was. Turning back to him, she asked:
 What is 1t, Larry, rustlers?"
 "Yeah. I found some tracks, Iold Barnes about them and he thought we better keep an eye open for a while. Those calves in the canyon pasture might look easy"
 T don't believe it," she replied. Ef you were afraid of cattle Shieves, you'd be down closer to tho herd, not perched up here on a hill, two miles away from them. You're not riding night herd, Larry. You've got something else up your sleeve. What is it?"
 "1'm watching these calves, and now and where I do 1t Is my own business" Larry answered hotly If a truck comes in to take . few, 1t will come down the canyon road, right below here. I can trail the thieves then, surprise them But If I'm down with the herd thsy might surprise me. l know what I'm doing"

 The name of Garcia is not world famous because of his exploits in the war against Spain. It was Ebert Hubbard's hastily written Message to Garcia" inspired by the feat of Lieut.. Andrew s. Rowan, that made Garcia's name a household byWord.
 Garcia had been identified with revolutionary movements in Cuba for 90 years before the Spanish American War. He had been cap. tured. held a prisoner in Spain for l5 years. His fight for inde- peadence was intensified shortly before war was declared.
 Knowledge of Garcia's forces and equipment were needed by American army co m m a n d CTS. Lieutenant Rowan was ordered to inform Garcia that United States had declared war. and to return with full data on Garcia's army He accomplished his mission. de- spite danger.
 On Washington's Birthday, 1899, Hubbard wrote his "preachment," an editorial that has been trans- lated into all languages. Garcia never read 1t. The general died in Washington in 1898, while heading a commission sent by the provisional government to confer with President Mckinley.
