THE LOCAL BUSINESS
LEAGUE.
The programs rendered last Sun.
) day at several of the churches In
behalf of the betterment of Nesrro
business In Pallas will prove pro.
auctive or much good.
In no small degree Is the credit
for these programs due to the
management of the local busl.
nees league which proposed such, a
day to the pastors who supported
the movement.
It Is to be hoped that this oc.
casion marks the beginning of a
program on the part of the league
to begin to function in a way more
, than purely ornamental. It Is to be
hoped that this marks the first
practical evidence of its desire really
to do something definite toward the
development and spread of Negro
business In Dallas. -
As far as the development of
business projects is concerned, the
Negroes of Dallas are as fortunately
if not more fortunately situated
than those of Richmond, At.-, nta,
Memphis or any other of the sc-ith-ern
cities in which their business
projects have grown to an appre.
ctable slae.
Dallas, the Metropolis of the
Southwest, offers an almost virgin
field for the expansion and develop,
men of business. It contains 30,.
000 Negroes whose yearly expendi
tures for the necessities of life alone
amount to mo e than $5,000,000.
So far, the individual projects of
members of their own race have
fallen far short of centralizing these
expenditures In a way calculated to
make them productive of so;l to
them.
It Is n .tural, in the, light of con.
ditlons ys we now see them, to
suppose that this failure has been
and is even now, due to a lack of
understanding how to make this
possible.
It ought not to be so. This con.
dition is not indicative of the pres.
; ence, to any great exteni of that
spirit ef progress which Incites and
seeks the Co-operation of evr-ry force
at hand in a scheme of develop,
ment benefhial to all concerned.
A business league which fuue.
tions efficiently, seeks to know how
results are best obtained. It spares
no pafns in its effort to spread the
gospel of progress and efficient ser.
vice as a mean of expansion.
So tar, our local business league
has evinced no startllnsr amount of
a desire in this direction.
We hope that the in i rest as
manifested by the Inception of last
Sunday's exercises may .mark the
t'eginnlng of a program of educa
tion in and development ot our
business Icierests which shall result
In lasting good to us and our com.
tminity.
The growth of our business in
stitutions isy' possible.
But it is possible only as those In.
teYested in them study and plan to
make them so.
Modern methods must be used In
modern tinrcs. Stagnation is the re.
suit of Inactivity.
Hard ;mes are the portions of
poor thinkers. '
May our local business league in
)i fniurie , operation resolve more

ADVERTISING IS CHEAP.
It is strange that in this day of billion dollar markets and
Unulti-million dollar selling concerns there should be a lack of
knowledge of one of the fundamentals of business success among
so many business men. But it exists. And every newspaper is
in position to know that it exists.
It is true enpecially of the Negro business man that he fails
to see that advertising pays; that though it seems high, it is in
reality very cheap. He seems not to know that his goods, not his
color, are on .gale and that the public buys in proportion as it is
impressed with quality and price.
The most meritorious product in the world would beg for a
purchaser, if the purchasing public did not know of its existence.
It must be advertised if it would be sold. The public must be
informed concerning it
Advertising pays both the merchant and customer.
Published facts concerning articles and their price, place the
prospective customer in a position to judge the product in re
lation to others of its kind and make an intelligent choice. Such
a customer on appearing in a place of business is easier to sell be
cause he has been informed before hand of the facts important
to his purchase. Thus the merchant is benefited.
The public instinctively patronizes those concerns of which
it knows most. It knows most about those that advertise most.
Outside of the immediate acquaintances of a man in business,
the bare fact of his having opened a place of business hardly
ever goes. The public may pass and repass it, but only a small
per cent of those who pass ever enters.
This fact needs to be more nearly recognized by our men in
business.
In our city there are at least three new and second hand
furniture stores owned and operated by Negroes, several grocery
stores, various restaurants of which our general public knows
nothing because these men have not told them.
And as a rule it is found that those merchants who do not
advertise complain most about poor patronage. No won
der. But that poor patronage is not due to the fact that the pub
lic is not buying.
It is simply buying somewhere else.
It is spending its money where it has been invited to spend
it.
When the size of the buying public is compared with the
price of advertising, the possibility of increased sales makes the
price seem small. And newspaper advertising more than some
other forms is cheap though the space at first may seem high.
A newspaper regularly reaches more members of the buying
public than any other advertising medium yet found. It seeks out
the purchaser in his home and while he nas time ior careiui con
sideration, places the merits of the product before him in a way
calculated to command his attention.
A letter, costing more, could
niession as docs the argument
The regularity with which

of the needed commodity. .
Our business men need to
buvinar Dublic with the facts concerning their goods and establish
ments. Thev need to leam that
efficient advertising will bring
increase.
The public cannot buy from
nothing.
It is not natural to suppose
which it is not acquainted.
Patronatre increases as the
penor quality of a product or service in relation to its price.

REAL FREEDOM.
The celebration of the 57th
of Texas slaves gives rise to many thoughts on freedom.
Some lof the orators who
through the past years and prophesy the wonderful achievements
which future years will witness, feel or seem to feel that we have
already attained that freedom for which many have spilled their
blood and sacrificed their all : others, though seemingly fewer in
number, have the courage and the vision to call our attention to
the fact that while physical freedom may be a gift, spiritual free
dom is the result of a gradual
and intellect play a major part.
While there is probably no
in the progress which we, helped by contact with a 5,000 year
old civilization have made, too few of us realize that a close ex
amination will show that in many instances our lack of progress
is traceable to our own inability to profit to the full from the op
portunities which are around us.
Conditions as they now face us seem to prove that as far
as the ability of others to boost us into a full freedom is concern
ed, the limit has been reached. The rest is up to us.
Improved educational advantages, political privilege and
things of a like nature concern us jointly. Economic efficiency
and full and efficient use of our opportunities for that co-operation
which will improve our condition are ours in particular to
develop.
While it is important that
against the discrimination and proscription which now seem to
hinder our progress, we must be no less assiduous in developing
our powers of self help. It is in this development that our real
freedom lies.
' We need to learn more fully that the welfare of one individ
ual should be made less important in our consideration than the
welfare of us all.
We need to realize that, each
of things in accordance with his ability to do; that no line of en
deavor can be dispensed with if the good of all is to be best serv
ed ; that big and small men are the result of their own making
not of circumstance.
We need to dispense with that spirit of envy which prompts
us to "knock" rather than boost the projects of others among
us and causes us to be likened to "crabs in a basket" who, even
though they do not care to climb, find delight in pulling back
the more progressive of their fellows.
It is necessary that we cease to follow blindly those self ap
pointed guardians of our welfare whose stock in trade consists
of the assertion that "I must be considered if it is to succeed;
since I didn't start it, I can't support ii. '
Ai ,1 more than all, we need to learn that the display and
pompousness of a thousand ages cannot be made to lake the
place of a few years of thrift, saving, and investment, of our
earnings in prosperity bringing institutions of our own.
A desire to attain real aiid lasting success finds expression
net so much in argument and pleading for a chance as in intelli
gently using the chances which are at ham! and cultivating a
will which overrides all barriers.
Hit fory does not record the failure of a sing race or na
tion tha!, possessed intellect, will, and consistently practised co
operation. In this regard it must also be remembered that self suffi
ciency it possible to no people but that in the efficient exercise
of their power to do and produce for their individual well being,
they increase the importance of then relation to those about
them. It is in the full realization of this fact that real freedom
lies.
V,'e often spend enough time knocking a hard worker who
seems successful to raisa ourselves to his level. It's only a mat
ter of directing the energy in anpther direction.
A builder who uses a hammer only cannot erect many build
ings. It takes something beside knocking.

LIBERIA IS WITHOUT KAILKOADS, TELEPHONES AM MOTOK CARS.
Consider the Negro. Out of Africa he came and to Africa he shall
return, if one particular man of his race can realize his dream. That man
is the self-styled Honorable .Marcus Garvey, president of the Negro Fac-
tories Corporation, president general of the Universal Negro Improvement
Association and African Communities League and Provisional President of
Africa, a 6oal black Jamacian who has his headquarters in New York and
who dons a brilliant green and crimson robe and comes upon the platform
before his audieces and In fiery speech presents his splondorous 'idea
of the rehabilitation of the black man's estate in the Continent of Africa.
Prom a small following three and a half years ago to the astonishing
total of some 4,000,0'i0 adherents who believe in his idco and confidently ex
pect to participate In the great African republic when It shall be erected,
Marcus Garvey has progressed- He believes his dream will come to reality
and he has persuaded them to believe, although how he will surmount the
barrier of a pre-empted continent and wrest it from the European powers
who own its body and soul can not be described In the augury of the stars.
But as an entering wedge Marcus Garvey sets his hopes on Liberia, the
Negro republic over wh'ich the United States has exercised a sort of moral
mandate since its Inception pearly a century ago. Liberia is to be the
corner-stone of the edifice of an. all-Amerlcan nation into which the 400,
000,000 Negroes of the earth are to be gathered.
Still (Jo to Liberia.
If Liberia were a bit more substantial for building purposes it might
serve better for a corner-stone. Any other empire builder, save, perhaps,
the over-sanguine Marcus Garvey, would cast It aside as defective material.
For in the 100 years since it had Its start as a nation it remains in many
respects In the mime identical spot, having moved forward scarcely an
inch in all that time- In 1821 ther were no roads, no boats on the rivers,
and there are none today. In the century since the American colonization
society selected Cape Mesurado as an appropriate site for the first detach
ment of American freed Negroes there has been practically no development
of Liberia's natural resources. Today
no telephones in the republic; the capital city has no horses, no motor cars,
no street lighting, no drinking water; and not infrequently food rationing
is resorted to until outside aid can be obtained, although unlimited food
products might be had with little effort from the fertile soil.
From 1821 onward to the present day Negroes and mulattoes free slaves
and the descendants of such have been crossing the Atlantic in small
numbers to Bettle on the Liberian coast "Within the last few months Mar
cits Garvey sent, a dozen or fifteen Negroes architects, chemists, builders,
and physicians to Liberia as pioneers to make ready for the great number
coming later. The chief migrations to the promised land, however, took
place In the first half of the nineteenth century. Only 2,000 or 3,000 Amer
ican immigrants have entered Liberia since 180.
Patterned After Our tiovernnieiit.
"The actual beginning of the colony can not be given, but it is dated
between 1822 and 1828. A white man, an American named Jehurli Asbmum,
was the founder. The original elemets of the population of Liberia were
three: Free Negroes sent out from America by the original colonization
society, Africans rescued from slave traders by United States war vesselu
during the period of the suppression of slave trade, and freedmen who have
emigrated to Liberia from America since the Civil War. Today theRe peo
ple number from 50,000 or 60,000. They are the republic, but back of them
as a sort of background are some 2,000,000 natives of varying tribal affili
ations who are Indigenious to the Dark Continent- They speak their own
tongue and adhere to their own religion, although the official language bt
the Liberians is English and the religion Christian. ,
In 1847 the American colonists declared their country to be an independ
ent republic, and its status as such waa recognized In 1848-49 by most of
the great. Powers, with exception of the United States.. Until 1857 Liberia
consisted of two republics Liberia and Maryland but at that time they
were united. Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, was named for President
Monroe. ' The government was fashioned after the government ot the United
States, with a president and vice-president ejected for a term of four years,
and with two houses in the legislative branch and a supreme court. It has
a constitution similar to the Constitution of the United States, and started
things off in 1847, with a declaration of independence which, in part, is as
follows:
The western coast of Africa was the place selected by American benev
olence and philanthropy for our future home. Removed beyond those In
fluences which depressed us in our native land, It was hoped we would be
enabled to enjoy these rights and privileges, and exercise and improve those
facilities which the God of Nature has given us in common with the rest
of mankind. . ,

But that was written three-quarters of a century ago- How far those
hopes have been realized is to be read
Civil War in the United States obscured the African republic, which there
after was left to drift in the world's affairs as the currents of the times

"Mrs. Walker was left an orphan
at seven, she was treated with such
cruelty by those with whom she lived
that she married at fourteen to get
a home. She had known only three
months of schooling in her life but
her husband seems to have been above
the ' ordinary, for he Induced her

with one child, and her only means of

was one dollar and a half. Her first

The .Kansas City Son paid Madam
Walker this fitting compliment: "She
lives in luxury, but Is not a profligate,
giving to the poor what many white
people of her Income devote to rio

pliments the excellent taste she ex
hibited in the furnishings of her home
and beauty parlors. Madam Walker
preserved a charm and simplicity of
manner, which rendered the most hum

will endear her to all who had the
privilege to meet her and to hear her

being carried on by her daughter, and
she seems to possess all the ability

met with disappointment, have ended only in pathetic failure for thu black

My dear little Fairy:
I was so happy to have your letter
I love girls your age and like to
make them pretty and happy. Hands
are very becoming to the wee misses
but I fear a girl your age would not
look so well, perhaps they do not
become you is why your mother ob
jects. 1 never advise a girl to go
against her mother's opinion because
a mother will tell you the facts about
vour looks. The gills will wear wieir
hair dressed to appear bobbed, that
to!:with the side pull's, ilemember only
..rir,in minlitv of hair will stand
to be bobbed. Keep your hair, but
arrange it to give that effect.
Lovingly yours,
AUNT PAT.

my
standard recipe for Helled Icing-
ne
cupful of sugar and one-half cupful
of water I add. just after the sirup
threads and Is ready to remove from
the stove, one tablespoonful of granu
lated gelatin softened in two table
spoonfuls of cold water, stirring lust
enough to dissolve the gelatin. Pour
this sirup gradually into the beaten
white of one egg and beat constantly.
If not thick enough to spread, allow
to stand in the refrigerator for a few
minutes, heat up again, and spread
over the cake.
Tse for Egg Yolks So many re
cipes call for the whites of eggs only
Unit the question of using all the
yolks Is rathei- a vexing yne. 1 have
solved the problem In this way: lirop
the egg-yolks in boiling salted water,
and wlnn thoroughly cooked mix the
yolks with siilinl dressing and use as
a sandwich filling.
An Attractive Sandwich For a new
