ARTHUR CAPPER, Governor Topeka, July 6, 1917. a La st a COLORED LAUNDRY WOMEN SHOULD ORGANIZE, velt ts the duty of colored women who ure engaged tn the laundry bue- inens and who take the work to chetr hemes, ty organize und stand tos gether and charge by the plece or by the pound Instend of a get pile for the whole warhing. This way of doing a large family washing for $1 and $1.25 should be mnde a thing of the past. Now If these women ev. pect to earn a respectable living they should charree a living wage for their work. The laundry “high. binders” have put the pilce out of sight while these women continue tu slave for nothing. It {sa well known fact that laundry done at private homes is a saving of 60 per cent to the people because when a laundiy gets through using chemicals along with the wear and tear of the ma. chinery, clothes are very short lived. Now wo want the colored preachers in different towns to see that the women whe follow this business aie thoroughly organized and If so great good will result from same. The sooner We get away from drones who are not progressive and work for nothing, the better off these omen will find themselves. | LEAVENWORTH COUNTY.

The two were very agreeable callers at this office. The former is a printer and was deeply interested in seeing us do it the "inotype way." In our hurry last week, we overlooked a bet when we failed to mention a pleasant visit from an old time friend, Mr. Alexander Tillery, of Chicago, who spent two enjoyable weeks in the city visiting. He came to accompany his wife back home. Mr. Tillery is employed by the railroad company as a voucher clerk and has a nice position. It was indeed a source of much pleasure when he pranced in upon our editorial carpet and spent a half hour reviewing old times. He is a fine fellow and a warm welcome always awaits him at The Plaindealer. Mr. and Mrs. Tillery left one day last week for their home.
