PLANNING A MODEL POSTOFFICE HANDLING THREAD IN AN UP-TO-DATE POST OFFICE the post offices of each particular class. As a starter Uncle Sam is going to erect and equip what may be designated as a model post office and which will be used as a pattern for all the post offices to be provided henceforth throughout the country. This model post office will be located at the national capital and it is designed to be a model not only in its mall handling equipment, but also in the furniture, the arrangement of the various rooms and even in the architecture of the building itself and the selection of a site so located with reference to the railroad terminals that it will facilitate the loading of the incoming and outgoing mails. This is important to which the apparent citizen of seldom gives a thought and yet it gives if his post office is located too far from the railroad stations through which the mails are dispatched there will be an unnecessary lengthening of the time required to convey a letter between any two points. So anxious has been the postmaster general to have the scheme for better post offices worked out just right that he some time ago appointed a special committee composed of men high in the postal service to prepare the plans for a model post office. This body of experts has been busy for months past perfecting every detail. The committee includes the first assistant postmaster general, the superintendent of mails at Chicago (which city already has a pretty well-equipped post office) and at New York, a representative of the architects, the postmaster at Washington, D. C., and the assistant superintendent in charge of the handling of the foreign mails going out from the port of New York. One or another of these men is competent to give advice as an authority on every important operation connected with the handling of mall at a post office.

The improvement that is contemplated is not destined to change the outward appearance of our mail stations, although it is admitted that in a good many cases it would be an advantage if the local post offices could be "spruced up" somewhat in exterior, appearance. No, the new project now on foot deals rather with the inside of the post office as an institution and does not concern itself with appearances. The aim and purpose of the movement is to promote the efficiency of the average post office and this is to be done by giving the postmaster new and improved devices for handling the mail more quickly, more accurately and more economically than has been possible with the methods and equipment in vogue these many years past. The government's biggest business institution, as the United States post office department may fittingly be denominated, is not going to attempt to revolutionize things in all parts of the country at once. That would be altogether too much of an undertaking from the standpoint of physical and mental endurance even were it so much the fact that it would require the much more expensive and stand aghast. So the new order of things is to be inaugurated gradually as are most such crusades and a beginning is to be made in the post offices of the big cities where the problems of handling a huge and constantly growing volume of mail have been growing more perplexing year by year. After the lessons of experience have been learned by the officers of these big post offices it is fact that they be a comparatively simple matter to the post offices in the smaller cities and towns and to designate just which time and labor-saving devices will be best adapted to the needs of the post offices of each particular chaperer Uncle Sam is going to equip what may be designated as a office and which will be used as all the post offices to be throughout the country. This model will be located at the national capital designed to be a model not only in handling equipment, but also in the arrangement of the various rooms in the architecture of the building its selection of a site so located with railroad terminals that it will handle of the incoming and outgoing.

A Home for Minnesota Offers Site on Shore of Lake Minnetonka for Permanent Summer Capital. Citizens of Wayzata, Minn., through Representative Nye, have made President Taft an offer of a plot of ground for a permanent summer capital of the United States. It is proposed that the government shall erect a summer home for the president on this spot, CENTRAL OFFICE OF POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT AT WASHINGTON TYPE OF PROFESSIONAL MAIL CONVEYOR TO BE INTRODUCED IN THE MODEL POST OFFICE AT WASHINGTON ARRANGING CANCELING AND POSTMARKING STAMPS The distinctive feature of the model post office which most conspicuously will mark its superiority to even the best of the old-time offices will be found in the extensive employment of mechanical and automatic carriers and conveyors of different types for moving the letters and parcels from point to point in their transit through the post office. Indeed so complete will be this force of mechanical workers that it will be scarce necessary for a human hand to touch a letter from the minute it is posted in the letter drop at the post office until it is safely on its way in a leather pouch to some distant city or country. The letter is then used advisedly too for one of the betterments that has been attained in the scheme of this twentieth century. The post office is the throwing out of safeguards for the mail in transit—safeguards designed not merely to protect the letters from the operations of dishonest employees but also to guard against loss of even the smallest pieces of mail through carelessness or haste in handling. The mail conveyers and distributors which are to reach the acme of perfection in the new post office have been developed rapidly during the past few years. In a general way these devices resemble in principle the cash carriers or overhead trolleys which have become so familiar in many stores. But instead of converging at a common point these post trolleys traverse regular routes just an doactic street cars and trolleys which are not connected to any other point. Supplementing these overhead carriers are belt conveyors, operating on the principle of a moving sidewalk or endless chain and which when they are in operation are busy at the while moving forward either single letters or bundles of missiles. Some of this apparatus is of the kind that "almost thinks." For instance connected to some of the belt con- which is on the shores of Lake Minneapolis, a few miles from Minneapolis. The idea of a permanent summer home for the president at some point in the center of the United States and far enough north to be cool in winter is a challenge. Senator Kenyon of Iowa.

PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1911. veyors running from what are, known as the "dumping tables" are attachments with grooves which separate the large envelopes from the small ones, whereas all the while the moving belt is conveying a steady stream of letters to the canceling machines which cancel the stamps and postmark the letters by mechanical power. Space is to limit to allow the enumeration of even a portion of the tasks performed by the overhead trolleys but one time-saving service may be cited as representative of many. Under the old system when a letter carrier or rural free delivery postman sorting his letters prior to starting out on his daily route, came across letters that should have been assigned to some other carrier he laid them aside and in due time turned them over to the general distributor. Often he did not do this until the last minute before he left the office with the result that it was then too late for the stray letters to get to their proper destination on that delivery. Now with the ever-active troley cars passing carry trucks or two above the heads of the mailmen busy with their assorting there is no excuse for delay in rectifying errors of distribution. A letter which has been given to the wrong carrier is no sooner discovered than it is on its way by trolley back to the distributor to be started aright. Heretofore few of our post offices, even in the largest cities, have had in use more than three different systems for fetching and carrying mail, but in the model post office the plans for which have just been completed there will be ten different systems. Some of the belt conveyors will be a yard wide and will easily carry mail bags and pouches as well as smaller parcels of mail. A novelty in a conveyor equipped with what is known as a "sweep off" basket and to indicate that these (ollers) work it may be cited that this particular new system will make circuit of 500 feet through the post office in four minutes. Yet another innovation will be a registry conveyor which is designed to move the pieces of registered mail and will be secured by means of a rotary lock insuring absolute safety and a great saving of time in the handling of valuable mail. In point of strength the champion of this automatic post office will be a powerful conveyor provided for taking up the mail bags at the wagon platform (where the city collectors report from their collection trips to the mail boxes located on street corners all over town) and conveying them up an inclined plane of thirty feet to the main floor of the post office! This conveyor is strong enough to carry a truck load of mail. A similar conveyor will perform like serve the bags of mail received from the railroads from out-of-town points. All these inanimate workers only operate on the same almost noiseless so that under the new regime a big post office will be a far quieter place than under the old status with carriers and clerks hurrying hither and thither. A notable improvement in the model post office will be the perfected system for handling the special delivery letters without the loss of a minute. Special conveyors will "rush" these letters through the various stages and a special keyboard will enable the man in charge of the special delivery department of the post office to summon by merely pressing a button, any desired messenger who may be selected for the delivery of one of these hurry letters. In the operations of the model post office there likewise will be required that science and invention has accomplished for the cause time economy. Mechanical accountants and adding machines will play their parts and so will a remarkable new invention—the brain child of a couple of employees of the post office department. This electrical machine automatically prints money order fees as the amounts of the paid money orders are recorded for auditing purposes and cuts down greatly the time consumed over the old method. Novel substitutes for twine will be introduced in parceling mail at the model post office and it is the hope of the officials that machines will are long be perfected which will enable them to carry on most sales of stamps and postal mail without the loss in the old-fashioned way which necessitates the constant presence of a clerk at each stamp window. to get better acquainted with them and familiar with conditions in that part of the Union. Custom, as well as the excessive heat, has made it necessary for the president and his family to leave Washington during the summer months. Roosevelk had his own home at Oyster Bay, and he went there. McKinley, spent his vacation months at Canton and at seaside resorts. Cleveland had his own cottage at Buzzards Bay, while Harrison varied his vacation trips, sometimes going to the mountains and other times to the seashore. President Taft, before his election to the presidency, spent his summers at Murray Bay, Canada, where there are good golf links and cool breezes. Last summer he went to Beverly, Mass., and this year he is going to the same place. But the seashore has not the lure for him that it has for many, and no doubt he would be as happy up in the central west as he would be on the eastern coast, if the links were good and the motoring attractive. Defective Page MAN IS A MEGAPHONE Railroad Caruso With a Cyclone in Either Lung. Clyde Hayes, Who Calls the Trains in Chicago's Big Northwestern Station, Has a Voice Like a Foghorn. Chicago—Clyde B. Hayes is the railroad Caruso. Every day from 3:30 p.m. to 11 he proclaims the departure of more trains than any other station caller. His concert platform is of all steel construction and it is located way up near the splendid ceiling of the new Northwestern railroad station. Thirty thousand people each day lend appreciative ears as he skylarks the suburban schedule on the Milwaukee and Galena divisions, plus enough overland trains to keep Chicago and the Pacific coast bound in close fellowship. Presidents of the United States boy orators, world famous evangelists, divisions of grand opera, baseball umphors, opportunities of Train Announcer Hayes to enlighten and electrify a listening multitude. Passing swiftly over the poor boy and burning ambition section of his life, we find Hayes in full charge of a night accommodation train in Nebraska. Yes, until recently he was a railroad conductor, and was treading the threadbare躲 of a Nebraska accommodation, occasionally unhooking a brightly nicked lantern from his left elbow and dropping off into the night to wigwag the engineer. One day the division superintendent of Northwestern Line at Omaha summoned hayes Line Hayes into his grim presence. "Are you aware, Mr. Hayes, that you have been 'turned in' a number of Caller Hayes. times lately?" said the superintendent to the conductor after the latter had nervously placed his cap on the edge of the glass topped table. Hayes trembled and his heart sank. To be "turned in," in railroad patio, means to be the object of complaints by passengers. "What have I done, sir?" he murmured anxiously. "You have disturbed the sleep of a large number of passengers on this line," said the superintendent. "Letters have come to me from traveling men who ride on your train, and they say that when you announce a station at night your voice not only wakes them, but scares them and knocks them off the train to do business the next day. Hereafter, Mr. Hayes, when calling out stations I wish you would not try to displace the window panes or experiment with sound vibrations on the bell rope. But it seems that Mr. Hayes is a walking library for volumes and volumes of stentorian noise. It couldn't be suppressed, and as he had no time to attend a ball game and let out steam on the bleachers, he had to resume his old habit of standing at one end of a yellow car and closing the door at the opposite end by sheer force of his low register. Also he would impel the impeller, and the draft, and the vowel would come lace up with a jangling noise. For a time the gentle patter of cinders would be stilled and the volatile dents in the water cooler would take up the echoes. At least, that was the description given by the sleep-eager passengers who signed a petition which was sent to the big chief at Omaha are another month had passed. The railroad officials were deeply puzzled by the case of Conductor Hayes, who had proved himself reliable and efficient in every other way. The day run, where people sleep at their own risk, or at the mercy of the train butcher. In the meantime the hilarious story of Conductor Hayes and the sleepy drummers found its way to Chicago and Conductor Hayes was ordered to report here. He came wondering and promptly he was set to work learning the list of train departures. Then when the new station was opened, he and the drummers took their ship, he stood in his high balcony and began his interminable recitations in earnest. For a day or so he wrestled with echoes and acoustic trees but now he has mastered the grace in the great stair MINNESOTA HISTORICAL THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or clique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. WORK OF GEN. BOOTH'S ARMY Salvationists Give an Impressive Exhibit in London, Depicting Scenes From Life. London—Ten thousand people at tended the demonstration given recently by the Salvation Army at the Hall. Old, white haired and almost blind General Booth presided in person. "Only with my inner sight have I been able to witness these transformations and miracles that the love of God has wrought," he said after patiently sitting through the different scenes that were played before an attentive and interested audience. First was depicted a night on the Thames embankment at one of the army's shelters. Gradually the great arena in the hall filled with hundreds of destitute and homeless men, to gen. William A.

The same men were seen later busily sorting out great sacks of waste paper, showing little employment of some description was found for even the most unpromising material. Work among the other ones was demonstrated by a parade of forty gray gown, white capped nurses, carrying in their army tiny bables, some only a week or two old and many of them prison犯. A crowd of hungry, ragged children followed, dancing round an Italian hurdy-gurdy and fighting and playing with each other. Food and coffee were distributed to the boys and girls, who had been brought up from the slums that very afternoon as actual specimens of the raw material upon which the army is working. Then came the children of "The Nest," as the girls' home at Clapton is called.

Purdue University Head Divorced After Indian Philosophy Is Said to Have Taken Wife to South Sea Islands. Lafayette, Ind.—It is the high privilege of all to indulge individual taste in the matter of religious belief, but sometimes the result is the extreme. Not all can think alike as regards the here and the hereafter, on this all-important matter of man and his final destiny, but in spite of this diversity of opinion all good men and women will deeply sympathize with a family where the wife and mother has deliberately left her home to follow after a strange god. Such a regrettable instance has just been brought to light through the granting of a divorce. President Winthrop E. Stone, of Purdue University, gave the custody of a minor child, Henry Stone, on the ground of abandonment. The course of this tragedy which has brought deep sorrow to the Stone family is told in a pathetic story dating back three years, when a class in "Yoga philosophy" was organized in Lafayette. Many women and men in college joined the class, which became a fad in social circles. It was a complete fulfillment of "Yoga philosophy" for a graduation oration from family, friends and kindred. Mrs. Stone became a devout follower of this faith and left home. When last heard from in an authentic way she was in Germany, but has been reported since that she has left that country for Kabaton, a South Sea Island, to join a colony of followers of the new belief. In the island where Mrs. Stone is supposed to be its members are called sun worshipers. This colony is one of the queercest in the world, and the years ago by August Englehardt and numbers fewer than 100 persons. They live almost entirely on coconants. The clothing they wear is said to be of the variety and quality affected by the natives of the South Sea Islands who have not come in contact with the civilizing influences of the missionaries. Owing to the trouble with his wife Mr. Stone recently sent his resignation to the trustees of Purdue, but they unanimously declined to accept it. He has been a capable head of the university since 1900. It was no emotional, impulsive action that took Mrs. Stone from her family. Her course was deliberate, and she followed it after long reflection and, apparently, after having counted the full cost. Most singular is the story of Mrs. Stone's fall under the spell of the mysterious Yoga cult. For years she had been reading the theosophy and kindred subjects, and was mildly interested in them. It was along about this time that Dr. George Moulton organized in Lafayette a class in the Yoga philosophy. Many women and some men, in West Lafayette, the college town, joined the class, and it became a great fad with certain highly educated people. Moulton taught that the Yoga philosophy was the religion of the Indian Yogi, or Sotha-sayas. They featured of this doctrine was that of the "withdrawal," or separation from kindred and friends. It was this feature that at last fastened itself upon Mrs. Stone as subsequent events showed. Meetings of Dr. Moulton's class were held in several homes. Books on the subject were put in the hands of Mrs. Stone and other members of the class, and their interest grew. Radical and revolutionary as were the books of the cult, Dr. Moulton seemed to go still beyond them, and evolve a Yoga philosophy of his own. He warned not to make public any of the private and secret instructions of how to send telepathic messages, how to hypnotize, how to use the key of Karma Yoga, and how to heal the sick. One of the injections in this respect was "Do not become a laughing stock for your friends by telling them what you can do or how you do it." June Brides Set Record. New York—June brides were never so numerous in Greater New York as this year.

FRIENDLIER RELATIONS. The custodians of the $10,000,000 Carnegie Peace Foundation announced today a campaign of popular education to establish friendlier relations between the United States and Japan. The division of intercourse and education has arranged an exchange, "to give to each people better knowledge of the other, and to help build up a public opinion in both countries that will resist all attempts to arouse antagonism." If the Japanese find this plan necessary to establish friendly relations between the brown man and the white man it would undoubtedly be an excellent scheme for the Afro-American colleges in this country to exchange professors. It would be of great benefit to the students of Vanderbilt University Nashville, Tenn., to have a few lectures by Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard. Prof. Pickens of Talladega could furnish new ideas to students at Washington and Lee University. The white professors could lecture in the Afro-American colleges and in this way friendly relations would be encourag- ```markdown ``` A. B.

Hucaby of Baton Rouge, La., has just returned to America after three years at Oxford. Mr. Hucaby is a Rhodes scholar and has been making a study of anthropology during his stay in England. He intends to give his entire attention hereafter to the race question in the South, and for the purpose of carrying on his investigations in this country in a thoroughly scientific manner he will apply to the Carnegie Institute for assistance. Mr. Hucaby's endeavor will be the first organized attempt to give to the world the results of the fusion of the white and black people of the South. This subject has been a very delicate one with the people south of Mason and Dixon's line, who have bitterly opposed any fusion of the races since the Civil war, despite the fact that it was common in slavery days. Mr. Hucaby is a typical Southerner in appearance, tall and lanky with black hair and delicate, thin, pale features. Having had the broadening effects of study and travel to help him in his opinions on this subject, he believes that the fusion of the white and the black people of the South would not be as undesirable as many of his fellow Southerners declare. A BILLIONAIRE A suit involving a billion dollars has been filed in the Court of Claims at Washington by Elbert R. Robinson, an Afro-American of Chicago, Ill., in which the government is made defendant. The action involves the patent rights of an electric signal system which Robinson claims were granted him by the government, and which he claims have been infringed by other patents. Robinson, who is an attorney, will argue his own case when it comes up before the court on Monday. If Robinson wins he will have the distinction of being the first Afro-American billionaire.

Now that Georgia has forbidden the Afro-Americans to use the rituals, insignia, etc., of the Pythians and other orders which exist among the whites, we presume the state will next issue an ukase restraining them from calling themselves Methodists or Baptists. When a legislature sets out to make a lunatic asylum of itself it generally succeeds. The "Back to Africa" movement is said to be making great headway but we doubt that it will ever amount to much. Afro-Americans are citizens of this country and they will be accorded all their rights here if they make a determined fight for them. The white people of Pensacola, Fla., who declined the Carnegie library because the money was "tainted" are not so immaculate themselves. In the hearts of the majority of the residents there is a race prejudice worse than "tainted" money. Jack Johnson the pugilist is jobbing Uncle Sam in newspaper interviews in Ireland. The United States may be bad in many respects, but Jack "got his" right here. The money he is now spending so extravagantly he made in America. Every Afro-American business man in the country, who can arrange his affairs so as to attend the Twelfth Annual meeting of the National Business League at Little Rock, Ark., August 16-18, ought to do so. Senator Jonathan Bourne, of Oregon, says, that La Follette's name will be the only one presented to the Republican National convention next year. Mr. Bourne predicted the election of Bryan in 1896. Some people were disposed to poke fun at Vardaman's spectacular canvass for governor of Mississippi, but it seems he was elected United States Senator. Washington, D.C. A WEEK IN WASHINGTON (From The Appeal Bureau.) Washington, August 2, 1911. According to latest advices from Haiti, President Simon, his family and some of his followers, have quit the country. There is considerable foreign capital invested in Haiti, the principal interests being those of the United States and Germany. Great Britain and France also have material interests which are affected by the existing political crisis. Full protection to these interests is assured by the presence of five American warships and the excited arrival within the next few days of Miss Elise Melpomene from Kingston, the German cruiser Bremen from Norfolk and the French cruiser D'Estrets from Cape Breton. A year ago the Haitian government contracted with an American syndicate to build a railroad from the interior to four of the seaports. The syndicate was granted a strip of land twelve miles wide on each side of the line, amounting to 15,630 acres for each mile of road. This was considered a liberal grant, and is one of the principal interests that the United States Navy will undertake to protect during the existing crisis. Physicians at Camp Pleasant. Dr. J. H. N.

To Mark Spot Where Lincoln Stood. The Legion of Loyal Women of this city has made a donation of $10 toward buying a marker to designate Fort Stevens where Abraham Lincoln stood, exposed to the fire of the Confederate soldiers during the war. The members of the Legion say they regard the incident as a most important one in the history of the United States. Taft Helps Colored Republic Reed Paige Clark of Vermont has been selected by the President to be appointed by the government of Liberia as general receiver of customs of that republic. Mr. Clark has been working for several months in the Treasury Department and at custom houses familiarizing himself with the details of custom administration, and will start for his post within the next few months. The amount of the loan to Liberia is about 1,500,000, the capital being supplied by international agreement by American, British, French and German bankers. In addition to the American receiver general, there will be customs receivers of the four nationalities, selected by their own governments. The State Department feels that in lending its assistance to the consumption of this loan an old excuse for the occupation of Liberian territory, which might have been permanent, was taken from the hands of covetous colonial officials and the little republic given a chance to preserve its American heritage of freedom and independence. Washington at the Business League. Mr. R. L.

Postal Employees Get Increased Pay. Postmaster General Hitchcock has issued orders for the payment of about $1,200,000 for the promotion of post office clerks during the current fiscal year and of about $800,000 for the promotion of city letter carriers. Thus the four great groups of postal employees, city post office clerks, railway mail clerks, city letter carriers, and rural letter carriers will receive during the fiscal year beginning July 1, advances in pay aggregating more than $6,000,000, which is unprecedented. Mr. Hitchcock favors liberal compensation for postal employees, believing that it means increased efficiency. Notwithstanding the increases pay there will be a surplus of receipts of office expenses, the most remarkable showing ever made in the history of the Postoffice Department.

NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE. The National Negro Business League will hold its Twelfth Annual Meeting at Little Rock Arkansas, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 16th, 17th and 18th, 1911. Those intended to be present will notify W. M. Alexander, Chairman Committee on Homes, $504½ W. 9th Street, Little Rock, as early as possible. Governor George W. Donaghey, of Arkansas, is manifesting great interest in this coming meeting, and has assured the Local League of his entire willingness to do everything possible toward making the meeting a success. Governor Donaghey, the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce, and the most important white citizens of Little Rock joined with the Local League of Little Rock in inviting the National Organization to Little Rock. The annual meetings of the National Network Leadership are yearly in increasing in value and helpfulness to the race. They bring progressive colored men and women together from every section of the country, and afford a chance to become acquainted and exchange ideas with each other. Hon. J. E. Bush, a member of the Executive Committee of the National organization, is the leading spirit in all of the activities now being made for the coming meeting, and is especially anxious to have Northern members of the League present in large numbers. "It is no further from New York to Little Rock than it is from Little Rock to New York, and Arkansas has always been largely represented at every meeting of the National Organization." Mr. Bush assures the Northern members that the progress which the colored people of Arkansas have made will fully warrant their coming South in large numbers. The railroads have already consented to make an attractive rate for this coming meeting, and delegates are especially urged to give attention to the matter of arranging for Pullman or tourist car parties.

While in Minneapolis the first of the week, the editor called at the offices of the Chester Realty Co. and investigated their plan of locating Afro-Americans on farm lands. It was found that this company has secured a tract of land which is located in Pine county, this state. They have cut up this land in 40 to 160 acres lots and will sell to Afro-Americans on easy payments. This opportunity will appeal to all who have no certain means of insuring themselves against want in their old age. We are not entirely satisfied with their product in life as well as the investor. By securing few acres of these fertile lands while they are yet within their reach, they are paving the way for independence. The history of agriculture shows that as a country develops and ages, the tendency is toward a smaller acreage and more cultivation in the individual farm. This is more speci- fied than in the close proximity of large cities, when shipping facilities make it possible for the fruit, market garden and poultry farmer to deliver the product of his farm to the city markets. The following clipping from the Duluth Herald under date of July 19th, will be of special interest to prospective investor and prove the usefulness of the achievable climatic conditions of this locality: "That the raising of head lettuce is a profitable business, is plainly evident from the rush orders being received by G. G. Hartley, who is having a big success with his farm at island. Demands from Chicago and St. Louis, as well as from other cities, are a South coast business greater every day; and it is with some difficulty that Mr. Hartley can get the lettuce picked fast enough for shipment. Mr. Hartley states that this year the crop will reach about 8,500 bushels of head lettuce, and claims if he had more he could easily dispose of it. It is claimed that a crop of this kind should not exceed $15,000.00, which should be a good inducement to others interested in farming to take up such an adventure." D. E. Beasley.

How would you like to own, rich farm lands which will produce abundantly all kinds of grains and vegetables, where live stock flourish and dairy products yield most excellent returns; in a region whence four large cities can be reached by a few hours' journeying? We have a tract of land lying a short distance north of St. Paul and Minneapolis, and southwest of Duluth and Superior, in a region of remarkable resources and opportunities. The combination of soil, climate and markets is invaluable; it gives a diverse range in which to work, not forcing the fruit-grower or farmer to depend on any one crop for a profit and living. Practically any crop which is successfully raised north of the Ohio River, can be grown on these lands. Wheat, oats, barley, rye, clover and timothy yield abundantly. Fruits and vegetables of all kinds thrive on this soil, where the wood of many an ancient tree, decaying, has left rich sustenance. All kinds of root cops, such as carrots, rutubagas, turnips, beets and potatoes grow to perfection. Cabbage, peas, beans, cauliflower, onions and celery are produced so successfully that the yields run into the hundreds of dollars per acre. THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY This is the land for the wage-carner, the salaried or professional Afro-American who is weary of toiling ceaselessly day after day for a mere livelihood to achieve comfort and insure an income and freedom. No more need he be dependent on the caprice of his employer or the vagaries of clients or customers. If he has the land and raises anything on it, he can be sure of disposing of it at a good price. THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR AN INVESTMENT OR A HOME.
