A LEADER
BY CLARA MAE ROBINSON


A leader must be fine and strong,
And have ambitions, too.
He must have a pleasing person
atty,
And some ideas that are new.
And, above everything else,
He must be willing to fight
For dreams and ambitions and
ideas
That he knows are right.
He must have the courage
To struggle and fight,
Even when the last bit Of hope
Has seemingly faded from sight.
When you are discouraged and
blue,
Don't let the others know;
Remember you are a leader,
You must not let your feelings
show.
Never forget you're a leader,
You stand for the things that
are right;
Keep your dreams and ideas,
And, if necessary, fight! fightI
fightl

We Have Two
Weapons

We have two weapons with
which we can fight discrimination
in this country. They are our dol
lars and our ballots. So long as we
treat our spending power con-
temptuously and our political in
fiuence thrown with the forces that
can furnish the most beer and sand
witches at political meetings just SO
long will we always be kept on
the outside looking in"
Negro dollars can WELD a mighty
force for Negro freedom. Throw
our dollars to the winds if we may,
they will always be caught even by
unappreciative recipients but none
of the results will come back to the
Negro race.-Milton Bledsoe.

purpose ration books would fill 1913

We want to thank the Spokesman

people are here. Three very special
helpers Saturday morning are Mrs.
Juanita Nelson, Mrs. Alberta Allen

The Halloween party was
great success and more than 100

lars in gifts from the friends of
Mrs. Curtis who lost her mother.
The gifts were in memory of Mrs.
Curtis mother. This is a sugges-
ton and very practical means by
which one can show his sympathy
and appreciation of the deceased
friendship.
The Community House encour-
ages women and girls to partici-
pate in Hallie's activities as much
as Is possible this season because

Colorado called many fortune hunt

football.
well, l play a little football" he
said dryly, "but not enough to rave
about. The pictures you saw in the

pened to be pointing his camera
my way"
81 know we don't agree on that
subject" l replied obstinately, "but
you must remember that 1 have
had better opportunities than you
for unprecedented observation"
But" said Donald, rubbing his
nose with a hand that looked like
it could circle a football, "the idea
isn't to gather in the glory, but to
win the game"
Donald continued to talk with
out prompting.
Every player must cooperate
with his teammates. If you don't
the play goes wrong. Of course
there's bit of self-satisfaction in
blocking a kick or intercepting
forward pass. Football is my meat
and l like it. I have one helmet in
my locker at school and I am not
going to let those pictures in the
papers make it too small for my
head"

l replied.
Being Sunday, l was sure that
this brawny, teen-age Warrior did
not want to spend more than a half
hour with an old scribe like myself
so babe him adieu. With a pat on
his shoulder 1 remarked that he

Four thousand excited football

giving my best Sunday morning
smile and directing him to the most
comfortable chair in the living
room. "It's a bit chilly" I said
feelingly, trying to ease his en-
barrassment.
He grinned at me in a friendly
way, his eyes bright.
Dressed in a brown, pin-striped
suit, a brown polka dot tie, tan
brogue shoes, and a brown fedora
with a red feather sticking in the
band, the young man was every bit
an athlete. The muscles in his
shoulders and arms X-rayed

DARK LABOR'S LAMENT

It's written that all men must earn
Their daily bread by sweat of brow
But somehow when it comes my turn,
The boycott makes me wonder how!
It's said so many folks admire
The man who fain would labor,
And though I'm worthy of my hire,
Pm shunted for my paler neighbor.
There's ample truth in that old saw:
At the top there's plenty room,
But why is there unwritten law
That must make the climb with broom!
find that when I'm in employ
Of him who in his subtle way
Must eer refer to me as, "Boy,"
1t always shows up in my pay.
Wars boom has raised my status quo,
My fears and woes are DER the hump,
When folks ask me to work too low,
tell them to go jump!
