E. bplngarn, of New York. Mnd a negro educator numed William Dickens, ot Jal touega Codege, who told them they bad been dlscrlmlmetcd against and that me segregation measure robs them us their nglus to compete ettuaily with whit* people. in closing his remarks Prof, spingarn told his audience that etery negro man and woman who does not contribute to a legal fight to annul tne ordinance is a "traitor.” lTof. ,Splngarn's peroration was re ceived with roars of applause and several negroes supplemented their fervor with a pledge to donate a sum of money to make a legal fight on the segregation ordinance. More might have followed suit had not Prof. Spingarn made an un fortunate allusion "a colored ghetto" which scented to mystify some of 111* heaters to the extent tliai ttiey preferred to withhold their contributions until they found out what a "ghetto” is.

If you pay a man 40 cents and hour for his work and he loafs away two hours a day. which many do, you actually pay him $3.20 for $2.40 worth of work And then to make up the loss you charge the SO cents to somebody else, and he passes over the debit to other people. Thus one faithless man spreads wide the loss, while every body recoups by charging him more for his goods and for his time. While shiftless work may make a demand for more work, It Is at tlie ex- 1,500,000 Bonus Votes OFFERED THIS WEEK ONLY This week, ending 1 with voting: day Friday, July 17th, an opportu nity is offered all contestants to se cure big bonus votes* in addition to the regular liberal schedule of votes issued on all labels, wrappers, sales slips, etc. m The three Big: Bonus offers of 500,000 votes, each making a total of a Million and a Half, cover the entire field of products listed and all local merchants co-operating.

Inefficiency is dishonest, and dishonesty is costly. If a man is paid for work which ho doesn't do, there is a loss that the man himself must make good in some way. He may not pay back that day, but he will some day in some way, or God doesn’t run the world. If a man wastes the time for which he is paid, and thinks he makes by it, lie is a fool.—Ohio State Jour nal WAR ON ’AFFINITIES The seductive affinity must go. Di vorces must decrease.
