NEGRO FIRM ENTERS WORLD FIELD A PAPER WITH A CLEAN POLICY The Bystander A WEEKLY FOR THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE VOL. XXVI. NO. 27. Negro Corporation In Foreign Trade (Special from Washington.) J. Williams Clifford, president of the Monumental Pictures Corporation recently signed a contract with the Seaboard Corporation of New York City for World Distribution of the Monumental Monthly, a news reel to be released each month picturizing the achievements of the American Negro in this country and the progress of the darker races of the world. "The educational and inspirational news that this News Reel will give to the masses of colored people in this country is beyond estimation. Each month you will have an opportunity to see on the screen, members of our own race lines of endeavor, and there will be an opportunity for propaganda in the interest of my people." Lieutenant Clifford said when interviewed by a newspaper correspondent. He further states that it will be the intention of the executives of the Monumental Pictures Corporation not only to place the picture in every house in this country catering to colored patronage, but also to work up the best foreign distribution possible for the film. An effort will also be made to have this film shown in white houses in the northwestern and northeastern parts of the country. News events, important gatherings, and special affairs will be filmed along with the most prominent men of the hour, and will be presented by highly trained men in the motion picture industry. Mr. Clifford further stated that just as the Pathe News has brought to millions of Americans glimpses of different parts of the world, and men and women who stand out pre-eminent as leaders in world affairs, the Monumental Monthly will be an American institution that will draw the masses of the Negroes in this country closer together and fill them with pride and honor at the success and accomplishments of their brothers in educational, social, political business and financial fields. Many congratulatory letters have been puring into Mr. Clifford's office complimenting the executives of the Monumental Pictures Corporation upon this notable achievement. The release of the first monthly has been announced for February 1, 1921. Negro Methodist Bishop Sails for Liberia.

For a time he was pastor of Wesley chapel, Little Rock, Ark. He went to Liberia in 1905 as a missionary under the board of foreign missions of the Methodist Episcopal church. He was soon made president of the college of West Africa maintained in Monrovia by American Methodists. He succeeded the late Bishop Camphor in that position. He was also editor of "Liberia and West Africa" a publication devoted to religious life in that country. In 1914 Dr. Reed took out his citizenship papers in Liberia and was appointed principal of Donovan institute under the Liberian government. He is also tax assessor for the city of Monrovia.

Speaking impromptu I believe the French revolution occasioned the greatest emancipation in the world. The age long power of kings was broken, government passed into the hands of the people, the mind of man was set free, and a world wide influence for freedom, equality and the rights of all men was begun, which has reached all classes and will go on through the years—Rev. T. L. Griffith. Speaking from a racial standpoint, I consider the participation of the Negro in the late great war, and by that I mean the large army of workers and contributors who enlisted at home and performed the necessary duties as well as the nearly half million men who were in military service, as the greatest event since the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation by Abraham Lincoln transcending in importance the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Louisville Segregation Case.

And all the while the savers would have been learning one of the most practical of all lessons, the lesson that ‘‘many a miekle makes 4 muekle.”? As Poor Richard says, ‘If you would be wealthy think of saving as well as of petting. The Indice have | net made Spain rich beeause her outgoes are greater than ber ineomes.

Ee CAUGHT IN PASSING 1°" The best antidote for sorrow Is steady employment. When money talks the cream of the conversation is rich, It fs a Jong lane that has no turn- ing.—Duteh Proverb. It 1s sometimes easier to meet a bill than it {s to dodge It. Don't growl at what you can’t help or what you can help. \ The man who fs the first to argue ts usually the last to act. A warning paragraph often saves @ chapter of explanation. A llttle leaven leaventh the whole lump.—New Testament. ‘The business of a dog dealer 1s apt to be a howling success. Plain, unvarnished truth is better than questionable rhetoric. He's a brave man who dies to stop a woman's runaway tongue. Bent pins and carpet tacks come under the head of felt goods. The world deals good-naturedly with the good-natured person, True love and ghosts are often talked about but seldom seen. When the money of some people converses it uses a megaphone. It 1s ensy to see through people who make spectacles of themselves. ‘The telephone enables some men to He without becoming confused. Lack of credit prevents some people from living beyond thelr means, Sometimes it's the cashier that gets the best of the run on the bank, Diplomacy is the art of getting what you want by pretending you don't want it. ‘The ennul of a rich man ts synony- mous with the laziness of the poor man, There 1s no effect without a cause —except when a woman changes her mind. A man Is presumed to be guilty by his neighbors until he is proved inno- cent. ‘The man who never looks up is a rank failure when It comes to lft- ing up. Unless a man has plenty of money and a wife who can ook, eating is a nuisance. Some people seem to have no use for anything common—not even com mon sense. Charitable persons speak one to an- other; uncharitable persons speak one of auother. Nothing squeezes the water out of @ man’s possessions like a visit from the assessor, There isn’t much hope for a man so deaf he is unable to hear the noise of a paper dollar. Don’t pay any attention to the dis- agreeable things people say about you —it they are not trie. In order to win success a man must be in a position to grasp opportunity by the back of the neck. After locking your famtly skeleton in your chest hide the key where your neighbors can’t find It. At the exact moment the proposal is made a young mun actually believes he is not worthy of the girl. Prosperity has ruined more men, than adversity—but that kind of ruin 4s so much more delightful, -CHANGING STYLES. IN HUMOR ‘Writing about the old-time humor tsts, Mr. Ellsworth notes the well- known fact that what is funny for one generation 1s not, generally speaking, funny for the next. This {s a curious phenomenon. It is an extremely hard thing now to get any amusemerit out of the writings of Artemus Ward. It takes a good deal of indulgence to find that chapter, so iffimortally read by Lincoln at the famous cabinet meet ing, fanny now. And yet the humor of Lincoin himself, as evidenced in the Lincoln stories still current, was pers ennial. Mr. Ellsworth notes the intery esting fact that Mark Twain, who wrote for two generations, changed the style and smack of his humor sev- eral times. If we compare “The Prince and the Pauper’ with “The Jumping Frog” we find that this is undoubted- ly true, and yet “The Jumping Frog” fs funny to read today. The Nomad fancies that the humor of Mark Twain will be found to possess more of the perennial quality. than that of Ar temus Ward, Josh Billings or, Petrole- um V. Nasby. He also has an idea that the humor of most of our coly- umists of the present day will be found incomprehensible 20 years from now It {s incomprehensible to a good many people even now. And that 1s what makes it so delightful.—Nomad,” in the Boston Transcript. MILK AND MEAT AS RIVALS Rising Prices May Yet Force People to ‘Turn to the Fluid to Sus tain Life.

Who does not feel the rapture, and joy of Christmas day? To see the merry children, so happy in their play. Talking of old Santa, and all his gift of toys, To gladden the heart of everyone, especially girls and boys He cares not how the wind blows, he heeds not-sleet nor snow, Wherever there are children, he's always sure to go. For each a stocking hanging, the children tucked in bed, But Santa steps so softly, you can not hear his tread. He peeps into each stocking, oft climbs upon a chair, And leaves a dolly on the shelf, with curly golden hair. His watchful eye is keeping, account of each ones need.

Indians Good Orchardista The American apple owes much to the care of the Indian farmers, for the Indian was an able pomologist. It was not unusual 150 years ago for Indian orchards to have 1,500 trees, which all had been duly pruned and cultivated by the people we are prone to regard as nomadic savages. The peach and quince were also cultivated by them in later years. To the world the Indian introduced such fruits as the persimmon, the pawpaw, the pineapple and the Virginia strawberry.

Wishing you a prosperous A gold bound book embellished with a the Service Star legion, has arrived in the city. The foreword of Mrs. Morris is enlightening as to its contents and is as follows: The program of the third annual convention of the Service Star legion included an hour of remembrance in honor of the women of America whose blue stars turned to gold during the tragic days of the world war. As national president of the organization I keenly desire that these women might receive on this occasion, greetings from statesmen, prelates, leaders and messages penned by writers, who having the gift of words, can express the undying love and gratitude of us all. The following inspiring letters were received in response to my request and were exhibited during the convention in the corridors of the state capitol at Des Moines. The letters are now published in book form in order that all American women may be inspired to continue to serve the highest good of our beloved country in these days of peace even as we served in war. All the royalties from the book will go toward the national association the S. S. L. and the book may be secured for $1.00 at the Harris-Emery book department.

The goddess of our idolatry appears to have a slender silhouette, and women are not to be lured away from her worship, especially when they are choosing clothes for daytime wear, as street and afternoon frocks. In the two handsome frocks for afternoon shown in the illustration above, there are presented two models that are interesting to women who like unbroken lines. One of them, at the left of the picture, is especially well suited to the slender or normal figure, but the other is distinctly a piece of good designing for stout women. The dress at the left employs a plain wool fabric and is made with a long-waisted bodice, which supports a long tunic of the material. The tunic is open at the front, revealing a plain under-petticoat of satin, and is A Question. Said the near cynic: "Judging from the time some of the young blood of this town arrive home in the morning, it's hard to tell whether to call them might owls or larks." Good for all skin siliments.

If you have paid your subscription handsomely embellished with embroidery and beads. There is no decoration on the bodice, but cuffs and collar of lace make a dainty finish for it. The other dress is a loosely adjusted princess model, in which an oddly figured brocade is finished at its opening with a long band of moire ribbon. There is a little definition of a long waistline, in scant gathers across the sides and back. The skirt portion is uneven in length and the dress crosses the body from right to left at the waistline and fastens under a rosette of the moire ribbon. What especially distinguishes it is a fringe of monkey fur which follows the edge of the moire band for its entire length and makes a somewhat startling finish for the sleeves.

For close inspection, specimen must be confined in cage. Fig. 1 shows a cage made of a shoe box. An opening must be cut in each side of the box, of the right size to leave a margin of ½ inch around it (Fig. 2), and screen wire must be cut to fit over the inside of the openings, and be tacked in place with strong linen thread. The box cover gives access to the cage. To prevent its being raised and specimens lost, provide cords for tying. When you go afield take along large-necked bottles or small boxes in which to carry home specimens. Place in these receptacles with each caterpillar, grasshopper, or other specimen, pieces of the same variety of leaves or grasses on which you found it. For a caterpillar cage, set a sprig of the plant on which you find the caterpillar in a flowerpot, and inclose in a lamp chimney, the open end of which has been covered with cheesecloth or mosquito netting (Fig. 3). Observation cages are sufficient equipment for the study of the development of grasshoppers, caterpillars, beetles and other insects from one $\textcircled{1}$ $\textcircled{2}$ stage to another, but there will come a time when you will wish to preserve interesting specimens, and then you will need a suffocating jar (Fig. 4), and a specimen case (Fig. 7). There are several methods of suffocating insects, but not all are safe for an amateur to follow. A safe method, and an effective one, is to drop the specimen into a glass jar. After a moth or butterfly has been suffocated, its body must be arranged for drying so when it has hardened it will be in natural form. The drying rack in Fig. 5 is made of cardboard. For the supports cut six pieces of the shape of A (Fig. 6), and join them in pairs with the short ends $\textcircled{3}$ $\textcircled{4}$ $\textcircled{5}$ $\textcircled{6}$ toward each other and % inch apart by gluing them to a strip B. The top of the rack is made of strips of corrugated cardboard (C and D, Fig. 5), which are fastened to the upper edges of the supports with glue and pins. As an aid to mounting specimens symmetrically, rule lines across strips D as shown. You will see by Fig. 5 how to mount moths and butterflies, with the body set between strips D and pinned to strip C. The wings' are held by paper strips pinned across them. Fig. 7 shows a shoe box specimen cabinet. Cut down the sides of a shoe box to a depth of 3 inches, and cut a piece of corrugated cardboard of the inside measurement of the box bottom, and rest it upon a pair of $\textcircled{7}$ $\textcircled{9}$ $\textcircled{8}$ of the inside measurement of the box bottom, and rest it upon a pair of in the meaning of the naturalization statue, which limits applicants for citizenship to all free persons of the white Take Aspirin With Water Aspirin is trade mark of Bayer Manufacture Monoaceticacidester of Salicylic acid THE STAR HAIR GROWER A Wonderful Hair Dressing and Grower. 1,000 AGENTS WANTED.

It was not unusual 150 years ago for Indian orchards to have 1,500 trees, which all had been duly pruned and cultivated by the people we are prone to regard as nomadic savages. The peach and quince were also cultivated by them in later years. To the world the Indian introduced such fruits as the persimmon, the pawpaw, the pineapple and the Virginia strawberry.
