Federated Club
To Conduct
Business Clinic

JACKSON, Miss.-"Negro Bust
ness and the Consumer" is the topic
of clinic to be conducted by the
Business Department of the Missis-
sippi State Federation of Colored
Women's Clubs at the seth Annual
Convention of the Federation in
Yazoo City, October 20-31.
Mrs. Viola Jacobs, Natchez, chair
man Of the Business Department
will conduct the clinic which is
being held in cooperation with the
Mississippi State Business League
OF which Mr. w. H. Williams of
Jackson is president.
According to Ruby E. Suits Mrs.
M. j. Lyedds, President of the
State Federation, the purpose of
the Clinic is to help promote the
economic development of the race
in Mississippi. During the discus
sion Business will attempt to edu-
cate the consumer that he should
patronize Negro Business as mat
ter of enlightened self interest. Mr.
Williams will summarize plans OF
the State Business League designed
to attract more patronage for Ne
gro enterprises.
From the Consumer angle bust
ness will learn the areas of weak
nesses which have resulted in a
lack of support on the part of the
Negro Consumer. Low sanitary
standards and the absence of cour-
teous service to patrons are points
which are expected to incite lively
discussion.
1T is my idea,' says Mrs. Lyells
"that out of such discussion will
emerge certain learnings and un-
bridge the gulf between Negro bu-
siness and the Negro consumer.

a guide to more profitable farm
management practices.
There is real need for this type
of study, he says, both in the ex-
perimental stage and as new ma
chimes are first adopted by farmers
Meyer points out that such research
will help farmers to determine the
conditions under which new ma
chimes and techniques can profit.

Fefers to Acts
Of Legislature
Passed in 1916

A challenge to the people of Mis-
sissippi to put into effective oper-
alton The laws directed to further
ance CT Negro education, which
were passed by the 1916 state legis-

Subject: The Character
Development and Func-
ton OF The Negro Press

Highlighting the morning meet
ing of the Mississippi Division of
the Southern Regional Council at
ST. Andrews Parish House auditori-
um was an address by Robert DUR
editor Of the Weekly Review Birm-
ingham, Ala, and Wendell Wilkie
Negro journalism Award winner.
Speaking on 1.-THE Character, De-
veiopment and Function of The Ne
gro Press, Durr gave a resume OF
the 121 year history of the Negro
press in the U. S. and its extent.
He stated, Negro journalism has
gained in scope, intensity, and dip
lomacy as literacy has increased
among Negroes"
He enumerated statistics showing
there are ,ver 200 Negro weeklies,
STANDARD daily, twenty-odd relig-
ious periodicals, educational jour-
malls, twenty trade publications and
Journal of Negro History are cir
culated in the U. S.
Durr said the standard Negro
weekly is ahead of the average
weekly paper in the United States
in size, content, and circulation
because" in America the press ig-
nores anything except crime relat-
ing to Negroes.
The FBI was one of The most as
sidious readers of the Negro press
and the fact that years of watching
and distilling brought not single
arrest nor single act of suppression
constitutes proof of the Negro
press worth, Durr said.
THE main task of the Negro press
in this changing world he con-
tinued. "is to disseminate the truth
as TO the status of race relations in
America; as to the extent that De
mocracy includes, or touches, Am
erica's minority groups; to point out
the injustices in the administration
Of the law, and to decry all efforts
to perpetuate system in America
under which cur minorities are den
led equality Of opportunity in the
lawful pursuit of life, liberty and
happiness"

over by DR.. H. Brent Schaeffer, pas
tor Of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran
