Dunjee Speaks For
Bigger and Better
Business

St Louis, Mo-, Oct. 31-(NNPA)
"A mile long parade and a mass
meeting at Pleasant Green Baptist
Church were Roscoe Dunjee, pres
ident of the National Negro Bust
ness League delivered a master
full address, featuered the opening
of Bigger and Better Negro Bust
ness MONTH in this historic city
on the banks of the Mississippi
Sunday, October 81.
The program was LAUGHED un-
der the joint auspices of the Phi
Beta Sigma Fraternity and the
st. Louis Planning Council, with
Mrs. Kitty Hall, member of the
executive committee of the Mt
tional Negro Business League, CO.
operating with DR.. Edward Gilbert
of the Phi Beta Sigma. Fratern-
ity and Harold Ross of the st.
Louis Planning Council.
Led by two bands, the American
Legion Post and dainty majoret-
ties, the more than 300 cars form
ed in parade line at the Pine st.
YMCA, at 1:30 p. M, and proceed
ed west to Compton, north to
lucas, west to Charming, north to
Cook, west to Spring, north to
Page and thence down Page to
Pleasant Green, the largest church
in this city.
The speaker cited many instan-
ces where colored people of his
acquaintance had become opulent
and wealthy through trying their
economy up with other racial
units in the community where
they lived.
Mr. Mr. Dunjee also told of the
vast spending and capital gains
already in the hands of colored
people, and he urged that eff
forts be constantly made to organ
ize and harness this wealth al
ready in their possession.
There's no need to ask men
of other races for jobs, when we
have the jobs right in our own
hands, if our economy is intelli-
gently harnessed, organized and
CONTROLLED he said.
The Planning Council will con-
tinue the program during the
month of November with clinics,
erhibits and lectures. Emmer Mar
tin Lancaster, special advised to
Secretary Of Commerce w. Aver
ell Hartman, will arrive shortly
to organize a clinic at Pleasant

With respects to the 5000, 100000
available for the Improvements of
Negro Educational facilities in the
state thru the CT Training pro-
gram it was pointed out that it
would not cost the state govern
men one cent. All that is needed
that the public owned educational
institutions for Negroes be au-
thorized ito obtain loans for max
ing provisions for the training of
Negro Veterans under the CT Bill
such loans to be paid back out of
the buttons paid by the Federal
Government for the training of
each Veterans. With this in
mind the Meeting went on record
as requesting the State Building
Commission to reconsider and
authorize building of the 16 trades
schools for Negro Veterans con-
tanned in the proposal made to
the commission by the State
Teacher Training Association of
Trade and Industrial Education.
A petition in the form Of a
resolution asserting that the op-
portunities for Negro Veterans
under the CT Bill in the state
are wholly inadequate, unfair, un-
equal and discriminatory was ad-
opted by the meeting. The petit
ton was addressed to the Presi-
dent of the United States, The
Governor of Mississippi, and the
Director of the Veterans Admin
istration, Washington, D. c., and
copies was authorized to be sent
to Members of Congress, Bembers
of the State Legislature, other
state and federal officers and to
the Press.
The petition contained the fol-
lowing requests:
1. That additional raining
facilities be established at each
of the two State colleges for Ne
groes.
2. That each of the 4S Negro
high school be Immediately equip
ped and stated for training Ne

coIored Cotton
Farmers Hit By
Cotton Prices


suit of the losses from the recent
drop in cotton prices, nearly all
of the $4,000 colored farmers in
the South who are largely depend
ent upon cotton for. livelihood,
in common with other cotton farm
ers, have BEEN deprived of the
profits they HOPED to make by the
boom in cotton prices.
While they, missed the chance
to sell at peak prices, they may
hold their cotton off the market
by obtaining government loans at
92a per cent of parity, the Agri-
culture Department pointed out
last Friday.
Under the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act of 1888, as amended and
supplemented, the Commodity
Credit Corporation is directed to
make loans to farmers on six CON-
modities. one of which is cotton.
The loan rate for the 1916 cot
ton crop is 92a per cent of parity
equality of purchasing power be-
tween the sellingf price of cot
ton at a given period of time and
now).
Two weeks ago the government
was finding it difficult to get farm
ers to consider the 9t2a per cen
parity loans, but with prices last
Friday down to 81 cents pound
for 1916 middling cotton the Gov
ernment's figure of 24.3S cents
seemed certain to attract more
cotton farmers. AS of October /,
less than 1900 bales of cotton
had been brought under the Com
modify Credit Corporation loan
plan.
In New Orleans a cotton author
ity was quoted last week as say
ing that everybody in the South
has been specializing in cotton"
but Agriculture officials said last
Friday it is doubtful if the smaller
farmers, including the colored cot
ton growers, have been speculat-
ing.
The cotton problem is complex.
Among the factors involved are:
% United States cotton exports
have dwindled from 20 per cent
Of the crop in 1910 to less than
20 per cent of it during World
War II; (2) United States and
world stocks of low grade cotton
are piling up, and 60 foreign cot
ton and domestic synthetic fibers
are offering American cotton stiff
competition.
From the Viewpoint of small
farmers and day laborers, white
and colored, the on-coming mech
anization of cotton production
poses still another serious prob
lem, It threatens to displace
many of them perhaps before in
disqualification in the South has
advanced far enough to absorb any
appreciate number of them.
INFLAMMATION is needed both to
reduce production costs so that
United States cotton can better
compete with synthetic fibers and
foreign cotton, and to relieve
men, women and children Of back
breaking toll and give them an
opportunity to contribute more
eectively to the industrialization
of the South.

Bingo Party Enjoyed
At Country Club

One Of the most enjoyable affairs
in the history of the Lexington
Country Club was the open house

town people attended.
Mrs. T. A. Lail, entertainment
chairman, was assisted by Mrs. Will

Mrs. John Gwin in arrangements.
For the occasion the club house
was decorated with spring flowers.
An arrangement of daisies and iris
was used with Southern smilax on
the mantle and greenery in the fire
place. Baskets of lavender and yell
low iris were placed around the
room.
The Lexington School Band gave
a musical program early in the eve
ming.
Mr.. Leroy Paris served as master
of ceremonies for the bingo games.
Scare items were given as prizes.
The list included: nylon hose. Gig
arettes, chewing gum, sugar, Kleen-
TX, and the grand prize, whole
ham. The latter prize was won by
Miss Adelaide Ramsey.
Other prize winner included Will

confused thinking of our people, and
our leaders, more interested in So
