Notice to Non-Resident Defendant. To William Patrick, Non-Resident De fendant: Notice Is hereby given that on the ISth day of February, 1920 Anna Patrick, as " plaintiff, filed her petition In the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska, the object and prayer of which Is to obtain an absolute decree of divorce from you on the grounds that you have wantonly, grossly and cruellj' abandoned the plain tiff and for more than two years last past. You are further notified that on the 19th day of May, 1920, leave was given to se cure service upon ou by publication. You are required to answer this petition on or before the 6th day of July. 1920. ANNA PATRICK, 4t Plaintiff. white press and the Negro press ful ly, regularly and rightfully informed as to the past and current achieve ments of Negro men and women in all parts of America and the world, and will exploit and forward the in terest of all worthy racial endeavors, mercantile and otherwise—the object being to give regular publicity and a constant stimulus to Negro business enterprise. This publicity i3 designed to motd a healthy public sentiment at home and abroad and to foster and stimulate race pride and tangible race progress. 3. The National Negro Business League Headquarters will make a special effort to locate, to get full de tails concerning, and to make known in such manner as may seem best, industrial, business, trade, profes sional, manufacturing and other kinds of opportunities for Negro men and women in any given community, and will seek in every way practicable to encourage the establishment of an in creased and more diversified number of business and kindred enterprises among Negro people, keeping Local Leagues in touch with this data, in formation, etc., through regularly is sued bulletins, etc. 4. The National Negro Business League will serve as a clearing house for the employment of all kinds of skilled and unskilled Negro labor, in cluding mechanics, farmers, teachers, business managers, insurance and other agents, stenographers, book keepers and other clerical assistants, so as to be in a position to help labor where needed; will find employment of all kinds for worthy men and women; will aid in the proper dis tribution of labor will supply to growing communities, and especially to Negro business enterprises, such professional, mechanical, skilled or unskilled labor that may be urgently needed or which will find therein op portunities for usefulness and profit able employment. 5. The National Negro Business League Headquarters will compile a catalogue of Negro business enter prises, including individual, partner ship, corporate enterprises, etc., and will procure all available data con cerning same, with a view later on of giving them a rating on the order of Dun’s and Bradstreet’s Mercantile Agencies; and thus making possible the standardizing of such stocks and bonds as may be issued by duly in corporated Negro business enter prises; and make careful inquiry and pass upon such Negro business en terprises as are found to be unques tionably worthy, and thus there might be brought to the support of such genuinely worthy enterprises the money of the race. On the other hand, the Negro public could be warned against bogus business enter prises and wildcat schemes, the fail ure of which in the past has made Negroes slow to invest their money in corporate business endeavors. 6. The National Negro Business League Headquarters will constantly seek, compile and publish new and improved, or the most successful, methods of managing and building up various kinds of business or other racial enterprises, and disseminate from time to time practical hints and suggestions, establishing a medium of communication and publication (through the National Negro Press Association), a closer alliance with the several hundred Negro newspa pers now being published, to the end that each Local League might be brought to loyally support its local Negro newspaper. 7. Under the direction of the Na tional Negro Business League Head quarters, well-trained efficiency ex perts will be placed on the road, go ing from city to city to serve (not as orators nor even so much as in spirational lecturers), but going among colored business enterprises for the purpose of studying Negro business and making such practical suggestions as will be welcomed and appreciated and which will put those business enterprises in touch with live, up-to-date, economical and suc cessful business methods. S. Systematic effort will be made to develop the membership of the Lo cal League as a basis for the promo tion of the ideals of the National League.
