BUSINESS EFFORT Prior to the twelfth century the Negroid races were among the foremost nations of the world in trade and commerce, if we are to accept the sum of their contribution to human progress. At this time the rape and exploitation of Africa began, and it did not cease until Africa had been robbed of one hundred million black inhabitants and the whole empire, with its teeming millions and untold wealth, had become the vassalage of Europe. Out of this barbaric trade the American Negro came to the "land of liberty" to serve three hundred years as a chattel slave. He was suddenly lifted from this thralldom by the catalysis of war, suffering from the handicaps which American slavery alone imposed upon the slave. Under the slave system, in the slave states, it was a felony to teach a colored person to read or write, and it was generally regarded as quite the proper thing to destroy morality and to treat the slaves with a little more harshness than was accorded the mules on the plantations. Imagine, if you can, the result of six generations thus trained, and you have a fairly accurate picture of the hand-capped black man as he entered his state of freedom, so-called. Add to this the blighter master class and the more blighted non-slave holding element, and you have some faint idea, as an onlooker, nearly sixty year later, of what a tremendous problem the black race in America had to meet. Four million blacks, free, with the sky as their covering, in a beaten, but unconquered section of our Republic. In that very year nearly every Confederate state passed "black codes," which provided that all persons who were not land owners and who could not show that they had been regularly employed at gainful occupations for a considerable period of time, were vagrants and that they should be arrested and placed at hard labor. The former slaves, therefore, for the four years after 1865 until 1869, found themselves in a worse plight than they had endured under chattel slavery itself. Then came RECONSTRUCTION, and for the first time in the southland we had free public schools. Young men and women of the North went into the South to teach and help; millions of money was sent to aid in completing the unfinished task. The race which had been worked for three centuries was taught to work to help build homes, and schools and churches. For the first time in all human history a race but recently freed was given the ballot. That mistakes were made and excesses committed was inevitable. But these things had to go to lay the foundation to overcome the handicaps of six centuries of social paralysis. After the establishment of the home, the church and the school, humble, tough all of them were, the momentous labor of economic and social and business progress began. Under chattel slavery the colored people learned to be good artisans and masters of domestic labor and service. It was natural, therefore, that the first successes of this group should be in these two fields of labor. In the South today there are colored men who are among the most suc- FREE In order to introduce the will for a limited time only, give thirteen-inch, fancy dressed K to every person obtaining five the Monitor, at fifty cents ea-tions at one dollar each.

They have there, also, the largest and best equipped barber shops. In some of the large cities of the east, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, colored men and women have been markedly successful as caterers, undertakers, in the insurance field, the real estate business and, in, in some instances, in banking. Placed against this background is Omaha, with its twelve thousand colored people, and the mite they have contributed in a business way. There are one hundred colored men and women engaged in small business efforts here. They are listed under caterers, taxi companies, tonsorialists, restauranteurs, grocers, real estate, expressmen, undertaking, tailoring and cleaning establishments, pharmacists and druggists, furniture dealers, job printing and chemical manufacturing. There are five or six well known and successful caterers. They sell their food and their services to white persons and successfully meet the competition of white men and women in the same field of labor. One of the successful men in this field of labor put it this way in explaining their success: :We have always been successful in the preparation and service of foods during our residence in America; what we had to master was the business part of it. This we are doing more and more as the years go by, as is evidenced by the fact that here, as elsewhere in the country, a few of the men in this line of work have won a competency in it. We hope to see here in Omaha, as is now seen in Philadelphia, Pa., in the third generation from the catering line, men in a successful banking business, I believe this will be accomplished." The taxicab business is successful, although of very recent development. These companies own their machines and render good service in competition with the larger companies. There are several large barber shops operated by this group which constitute a distinct business asset. Their proprietors are good business men. The restaurant are very numerous. Some of them are run on a first class basis from a business standpoint, while others not so advantageously located OMANA RESIDENT FOR THIRTY FIVE YEARS IS CALLED OMANA RESIDENT FOR THIRTY FIVE YEARS IS CALLED Mrs. David Morris, Apparently in Good Health, Dies Very Suddenly Sunday Night at the Family Residence. FUNERAL HELD WEDNESDAY Mrs. David Morris, apparently in the best of health, retired Sunday night about half past 9 o'clock. Shortly before 10 she called her son Wilbert and told him that she was deathly sick and believed she was dying and asked him to call Mrs. Crawford, her nert door neighbor. This he did, and also called his sister, Mrs. Grace Hutten, and his brother, Dr. Craig Morris, who lives but a few blocks distant. Mrs. Crawford rushed right over, but had scarcely more than got into the house and taken Mrs. Morris' hand before she expired. She passed away before her children who had been summoned could reach the house. Mrs. Morris, whose maiden name was Lucy Griffin, was born in Kentucky December 15, 1851. She was married to David Morris, who survives her, at Osceola, Ia., in 1874. The family moved to Omaha thirty-five years ago where they have since resided and reared a family of five children, three boys and two girls who are a credit to their parents and to the community. These are Wilbert, who is unmarried, and lived with his mother, lovingly, ministering to her in every way; Dr. Craig, a successful and progressive dentist, who is actively interested in the Boy Scouts and civic activities; Elmer, a prosperous druggist of St. Paul, Minn., with whom his father, who had been in poor health for sometime, has been A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV.

SILAS JOHNSON NOT THE FIRST Attention has been called to the statement published in last week's Monitor that Silas Johnson was the first of our undertakers to use a tent to protect the funeral part at Forest Lawn cemetery as being incorrect. Within a few weeks after the custom was introduced Jones & Company used one at the funeral of Herman Washington, February 23. The Monitor having been misinformed by persons whom we believed knew, assumes full responsibility for the statement and gladly makes the correction.

PINKSTON SHOCKS COMMUNITY Popular and Well Kfown Citizen Found Dead in His Home by His Father-in-Law Monday Night After Absence Noted. WIFE STUDYING IN EUROPE Death Probably Due to Acute Indigestion While There Is Some Evidence of Accidental Asphyxiation John W. Pinkston, care-taker of the Happy Hollow club, was found dead in his home, 2415 North Twenty-second street, late Monday night by his father-in-law, John H. Crawford, after his unusual absence from his work was noted and repeated failures to reach him by telephone at his home. Mr. Pinkston's body was found seated in a rocking chair in the kitchen, a favorite seat of his, with his overcoat still on and his cap and half-smoked cigar fallen on the floor. One of the burners on the top of the gas range, and another in the oven were lighted. Another burner in the oven was partially turned on, but not lighted and from this gas was slowly escaping. This fact lends some weight to the belief that death was due to accidental asphyxiation. Against this it has been pointed out that the odor of gas in the house was not strong and that with two jets burning, had there been sufficient gas escaping to asphyxiate a man, the escaping gas in the lapse of so many hours would have so filled the house that there would have been ignition and explosion from the lighted burners. Moreover, Mr. Pinkston had on former occasions suffered from indigestion. After leaving his work late Sunday night he was at a local restaurant with Fred Thompson and Holland Harrold, where they had lunch. His custom of late has been upon coming home to light the gas range in the kitchen and read and smoke in a favorite rocker before going to bed. On going home Monday morning about one o'clock, he turned on the light in the front part of the house and went to the kitchen where he lighted the gas range, one of the jets in the oven, being only partially open failing to ignite. He then evidently sat down in the rocking chair where he expired. Failure to keep an engagement with Mr. Thompson Monday lead to inquiries at the Happy Hollow club and later at the home of his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Crawford of the Drake apartments. Mr. Crawford, receiving no response to his telephone call, then called the residence of Mr. Vizzard, next neighbor of the Pinkston's, asking if they had seen him. The reply was that they had not, but that the lights had been on in the house all the evening. The Crawfords hastened to the Pinkston home and forcing an entrance found Mr. Pinkston dead. "Jack" Pinkston, as he was known, was well liked by hosts of friends. He was industrious, ambitious and exceedingly proud of and devoted to his talented wife, Florentia F. Cassells-Pinkston, whom he has encouraged in every way to complete her musical education. She is now studying in Paris and he was looking forward to going to New York to meet her upon her return early in June. The home life of the Pinkstons was ideal. Mrs. Pinkston has been cabled and will leave for home on the first steamer possible. The body will be held until her arrival. Mr. Pinkston was 46 years of age, and his death is sincerely mourned by scores of friends among both races. IMPERIAL KU KLUX PLEDGES TO RETURN BULLOCK TO U. S. Hickory, N.

That the present at least, and if our debtors and frief, will by no means mean the suspension of the total indebtedness, with outstanding notes and 5,000. There is due The Monitor in outstanding proportion of this amount; enough at least to and enable us to handle the difference of the indebtedness, not grievous, however, when the growing capacity of The Monitor is taken into account in this way: During the war period, the cost used over 400%, causing more than 4000 pub. The Monitor at that time would have had a good publication also. It would probably have been so; but we felt that it was a time when our spouse the race press for counsel and guidance that it was our bounden duty to hold on and our country patriotic service. Our publishers us most generous credit. Had they not been compelled to suspend. The high cost of capacity in holding on explains how the indebted 2020 a partnership of three was formed and matched, but one of the partners proved untrustworthy and about $800 of the company's money. This is now, but we did not whine or air our grevance, the Waters-Barnhart Publishing Company, again of their confidence in the Editor whom they and their belief and hope that The Monitor would pull through. So Mr. Bullock and myself took and buckled down determined to do our best in these conditions and combinations arose to make yet we did not give in. For some weeks we do so the fact that we were in urgent need of me, will now see how desperate the situation was they would relieve. The editorial policy we under the receivership.

We are not beaten hard and survived during the war period. We now. Help us. As our Omaha readers know, and that our out of town readers may know, we deem it wise to state that a petition in bankruptcy has been filed against The Monitor Publishing Company and that therefore The Monitor is in the hands of a receiver. This does not mean, for the present at least, and if our debtors and friends come to our relief, will by no means mean the suspension of this publication. Our total indebtedness, with outstanding notes and interest, is around $5,000. There is due The Monitor in outstanding accounts a large proportion of this amount; enough at least to satisfy our creditors and enable us to handle the difference of the indebtedness. This heavy indebtedness, not greivous, however, when the circulation and earning capacity of The Monitor is taken into consideration, came about in this way: During the war period, the cost of publication increased over 400%, causing more than 4000 publications to suspend. The Monitor at that time would have had a good reason for suspending publication also. It would probably have been wise to have done so; but we felt that it was a time when our people who depended upon the race press for counsel and guidance needed this help and that it was our bounden duty to hold on and render the race and our country patriotic service. Our publishers during that crisis extended us most generous credit. Had they not done so we would have been compelled to suspend. The high cost of publication and our tenacity in holding on explains how the indebtedness grew. Then in 1920 a partnership of three was formed and matters looked encouraging, but one of the partners proved untrustworthy and misappropriated about $800 of the company's money. This was almost a death blow, but we did not whine or air our greivure. Our publishers, The Waters-Barnhart Publishing Company, again stood by us, because of their confidence in the Editor whom they had known for years and their belief and hope that The Monitor would eventually be able to pull through. So Mr. Bullock and myself took the bit in our teeth and buckled down determined to do our best to win out. Other adverse conditions and combinations arose to make the task harder and yet we did not give in. For some weeks we have called attention to the fact that we were in urgent need of money. Our subscribers will now see how desperate the situation was which we had hoped they would relieve. The editorial policy will continue unhampered under the receivership. We are not asking for charity. We are simply asking subscribers to pay up; for new people to subscribe, and for those who want to see The Monitor succeed to help us secure enlarged advertising business. We are determined to pull out because our creditors are entitled to payment and because the paper fills an important place. We are not out of the game. Now let everybody who owes us and everybody who appreciates what The Monitor stands for and means to this community, send in their money and before the petition in bankruptcy is heard we will have enough money in hand to pay our creditors. We are not beaten or defeated. We fought hard and survived during the war period. We are going to win out now. Help us.

A leap, a snarl—Jean Pousset's hands were round Pierre Lot's throat, and Pierre's eyes were bulging as he strove vainly to free himself from the grasp of his unsuspected enemy. At first Jean throttled him as if his only desire was to kill; but, as Pierre fell insensible upon the bunk, he released him and stood looking at him uncertainly. It was the climax of the season that they had spent together. Both were trappers, and they had amassed a rich store of furs, including two of the silver fox, which meant comparative affluence for them. But Jean envied Pierre. He envied him his own share of the furs, and he envied him Marie Batteise, who had unmistakably indicated her preference for Pierre. So they were to be married that spring at Fort Auguste, when Pierre returned. There should be no returning for Pierre. Jean had resolved to kill his erstwhile friend, and return with a trumped-up story of some kind or other. No one would ever know. Of late Pierre had seemed to suspect Jean, and he had always slept with his revolver handy. But that morning Jean had outmaneuvered him, Jean watched Pierre uncertainly. It would be an easy thing to shoot him while he was unconscious. But something in him rebelled against this murder of an unconscious man. And, in the end, he secured a length of rope and tied Pierre securely to his bunk. "Lie there and starve," he sneered. "None will pass this way, and I will be back next year and set you free." If Pierre heard, he only groaned in answer. Jean looked at him a little longer, hurled a curse at him, and loaded his pack with all the furs, including Pierre's. Then, with a wave of the hand, he was off and snow-shoeing across the wastes in the direction of Fort Auguste. At first he stepped lightly enough, but gradually the recollection of his deed began to burn in him. It had been largely spontaneous, though he had had some such idea in mind for weeks as, in the solitude, the memory of Marie Bastiste's face grew stronger. It was Marie, rather than the furs, that drove him on again. But he walked more and more slowly; and at fast he stopped. He stopped under a dwarf willow, where his line of traps began. He could not go on. He was glad that he had not killed Pierre. And he would have returned, only he did not know what to say to Pierre. But he must return. Something within him would not let him go a step further. It was odd how that invisible something seemed to cling to his legs when he tried to walk. It was as if one were physically impeding him. At last, with a groan, he yelled. He would go back to Pierre and set him free, fling him his half of the furs, and take himself away forever. He turned toward the cabin. He pushed his foot forward. Something under the snow caught the shee. Snap! He was fast. At first, just for an instant, he did not know what it was that had pulled him to his knees. Then, with an awful fear, he realized that he was fast in one of his own traps. And he tugged in vain; he could not budge the strong steel implement beneath the frozen snow. It was a wolverine trap, one of the heaviest made, and designed to hold the captive motionless. It was impossible to get at it, because he was in such a position that it was difficult even to kneel. The muscles of his back seemed bursting as he vainly endeavored to get himself into a position from which he might pry away the frozen snow and tug at the steel beneath. And, as he realized his doom, a hoarse cry of despair broke from his lips—another, and another. The sun rose high. Still Jean fought like a madman, always in vain. And at last he abandoned the struggle and lay face downward in the snow. The hours went by. The sun was going down. The bitter cold was numbing him. He had no longer any sensation in his leg, and the teeth of the trap no longer bit, though a little pool of blood had frozen on the snow, A Poor Eggs Change. Notice in English Grocery—"Provided you get one bad egg from us we will on your returning it give you two for it."—Boston Transcript. of blood had frozen on the snow. Suddenly Jean perceived a figure coming toward him. Incredulously, he recognized Pierre. It was Pierre himself, at his side, looking down on him. He heard his exclamation. In a few minutes Pierre had dug up the trap and set his enemy free. Jean struggled to his feet and looked up at Pierre in amazement. “Take all the furs and go,” he mumbled. Peters Trust Building To William Smith, Non-Resident Defend Pierre clapped him on the shoulder, "Eb, amo ami, it is nothing," he said. "It is the snow-madness that comes to us in the wilderness, not so?" I know, for I myself had coveted my-furs, and had been tempted. Only," he laughed. "it was fortunate that you forgot I had a knife beside my bunk."

CALL US for your express and hauling.-Hill Bros. Webster 1341. (Continued from Page 1.1) have not made marked progress. The grocery stores are greatly handicapped. They have to pay from ten to fifteen per cent more than their white competitors, even when buying for cash from wholesalers. It may be that this is because these grocers buy in small quantities. However, they are thus handicapped and their success is made difficult, if not impossible, in the long run, in competition with grocers who can sell at a profit at a smaller figure than they can buy. The real estate men are making progress as they gain knowledge and experience in the business, and a few of them are forging ahead in their work. Expressmen are numerous. One of them told this story a few days ago: Some years ago a school teacher told the class of which I was a member, if you wish to make money don't become a doctor or a lawyer, but buy yourself a dray. A great many of my group must have heard somebody say the same thing, other- DISTRIBUTORS OF Genuine Bernice Anthracite Greenwood Semi-Anthracite Canon City Lump RUTH ROLAND IN "WHITE EAGLE" Pathheserial THIS THRILLING SERIAL WILL BE SHOWN AT THE DIAMOND-EVERY MONDAY THIS THRILLING SERIAL WILL BE SHOWN AT THE DIAMOND-EVERY MONDAY Kenwood 0425.

Soon r late everybody has to give them his patronage. The druggists are doing an excellent business and they are sufficiently numerous to succeed and not more so. Our new and second hand furniture stores are a success. In amusement places the group excels numerically. It is a fact, also, that there is more money invested in these establishments than in any other business in which this group is engaged. Out of this, it is hoped, business experience may be gained to the end that it may be applied later in other lines of business, as well as this. The job printing business is new, but promising. The largest undertaking so far attempted is a chemical manufacturing business, which can be made a very great success, if the group will support it. It is engaged in manufacturing proprietary remedies and tooth paste. The total capital invested in these businesses is much larger than the casual reader would guess at first, running up into hundreds of thousands of dollars. If it were possible to concentrate the economic power the group possesses as a basis of group development, progress would be very rapid. This will be done just as soon as we learn the value of doing it, and not sooner It is quite easy for someone who has had years of business experience to say what the other man should do, but it is quite another thing, handicapped as this group is, to succeed in business in open competition with the advantaged class. When the group overcomes the handicaps under which it labors now, it will be a better asset than it now is to the community and to the country. This group will have its stores, small at first, but larger as the years go by; its loan associations and its banks, and other businesses, here in Omaha. Thee things are not so far away as one may now suppose them to be. But the thing must be fought out largely by the group itself. No ultimate victory can be achieved in business or otherwise in any other way. There is a great deal of pneumonia and many deaths from pneumonia. A very simple remedy that gives speedy relief is Sultox, manufactured by the Kaffir Chemical Laboratories. Hot pack treatment with Sultox and internal doses of Sultox is a speedy and effective remedy for colds, congestion of the lungs and similar maladies so prevalent at this time. Ask your druggist for Sultox, and if he cannot supply, phone Douglas 7074 or call at or write Kaffir Chemical Laboratories, 817 North Sixteenth street, Omaha, Neb. Large bottle, $1.00.

Wasntngton, Bott On the gentle sloping hillsides of the northern portion of a single state of the great Brazilian republic there are some 700,000,000 coffee trees. Here on the famous rich, red soll (terra Possa), under extraordinarily favorable €limatic conditions, the state of Sao Paulo is producing annually close to three-quarters of the world’s total coffee crop. Small wonder it is that this state ranks $0 high in the num: ber and in the character of Its popu- Jation; in the development of its rail- Fouds; in its general commercial and Industrial activity. Small wonder is it that the city of Sao Paula,is so fall of Ife nd energy; that Santos has be- come #0 famous a port, that the Santos docks and the Sao Paulo railway at, tract so many visitors. Coffee is the Mainspring of all this development, Coffee is the prevailing tople of com yersation. Coffee Is the key to the financial situation. Coffee is king AS 2 famous waterfall, or an im- mense steel plant, or a great forest, oF ‘a wonderful view attracts the traveler, 0 this remarkable Brazillan coffee dis- trict bas a fascination all its own for the “globe-trotter,” or for the more leisurely traveler who seeks to know something more definite about our South American neighbors; or, more particularly, for any one to whom mon's achievements In changing the face of nature by making the earth produce what he needs and what he finds profitable are a source of satis. faction and inspiration Journey of Great Interest. ‘The heart of the coffee country can be reached in less than three weeks from New York, ‘The voyage to «ud from Rio Janeiro is « delight which cannot fail to satisfy even those who are not naturally lovers of the sea What can be more ideal for any one who is tired out with the wear and tear of busy llfe than that voyuze of two weeks from New York to Rio, over the calm seas and under the bright skies of the topics? From Rio de Janeiro » journey of about eight hours takes the traveler nerosé the coast range of mountains (Serra do Mar) and along the valley of the Parahyba river to the city of Sao Paulo, which lies in a position of _immense advantage to its commercial development. From the city of Sao Paulo the heart of the coffee country Is reached in a short day's journey along one of the lines of raliroad which go in a northerly or northwesterly di rection across the open campos ot through the seattering woodlands. In about two hours after leaving the city of Sao Paulo the traveler begins to see the first considerable coffee plantations, and from that time on the journey is one of the greatest In- terest. Coffee Is everywhere. Miles and miles of coffee trees stretch away, ‘up and down the gentle slopes of the ‘rolling topography, often ax far as the eye can sec—great broad waves of green, with the narrow lines of the re¢ soll showing in marked contrast with the green of the leaves. It is a sight _ which is not soon forgotten. Here and there are small patches of forest which have not yet been destroyed to make way for the coffee, And then there come great stretches of rugged grass ands, partly used for grazing purposes ‘or locally for farming, where the soll {a not right for the coffee tree.

The seeds are imbedded in a sticky, whitish pulp, and are further them Selves surrounded by two envelopes. Before the coffee bean can be put upon the market the outer covering, the pulp, and the two inner coverings must be reinoved. It is customary to Classify the methods of preparing eof- fee for market Into the wet and the dry. They are alike, after « certain stage, and there Is disagreement among experts as to the relative merits of the two in produeing the best coffee. In the dry process the berries are driéd efore the pulp is removed, and then ‘outer covering, pulp, and Inner cover- Ings are removed together. In the wet ‘process the pulp is first removed in water, and the drying and removal of the inner envelopes come Inter, ‘There Is no absolutely hard and fast rate, in- variably followed on all fazendas alike, in the preparation for market of the coffee beans, A considerable water supply and s carefully planned system of small canals and of basins Is needed in the wet method, and it Is partly for this reason, as well as because of the preference of some fazendeiros for the dry method, that the wet method In not everywhere in nse. Harvest Lasts Several Months, The harvest begins in May and lust into August, or even September. This is the dry season, $0 that the weather conditions are very favorable, not only for the harvest itself, but for drying and travsporting the erop after it has been gathered, In picking the coffee the boughs are pulled down with the left hand and held at the outer end while the right hand is run along the bough from the base two the tip, thus stripping off the berries as well as many leaves and twigs. For the up per branches rude stepladders are used. ‘The usual method of hurvesting: is to let the berries, twigs, ete., fall dk rectly on the ground, where they are later raked together with wire rakes with rounded teeth, and the first rough sorting is made, The next stage Is 4 winnowing by means of a wire sleve the hind being used to pick ont the twigs aud leaves and the wind blow ing away @ good deal of the dust as | the contents of the sieve are throws vp into the air and caught again sev etal times, In @ less common method the results of the harvesting are al lowed tw fall into cotton cloths spreac out underneth the trees, This maker she gathering of the crop quicker, The berries are then assembled in sacks. From this point on the berries ar subjected to various mechanical treat ments. Under the “wetumethod” they fare washed, churned with hoes, al Jowed to soften, and are then run through « mechanical pulper. ‘The seeds, still enveloped by thelr Inner skins, are strained from the “mush” resulting from the pulping operations and are then placed in basins to fer ment slightly so that any remaining pulp will be loosened. They are then spread out on large paved surfaces té dry in the sun. When properly dried the seeds are gathered up and run through ingenious machines which rut off the skin, The particles of skin are aifted and blown out and the coffee beans—hulled, cleaned and sorted— fall directly from the last machine int the bags. When these contain 18% pounds each they are sewed up an¢ are ready for shipment.to market, Along the roads, deep in red dust ‘six or eight yoke of oxen draw the heavy wagon, loaded with the precious sacks, to the nearest railroad station in cases where the railroad does no come directly into the fazenda, as 1 often does.
