It is ridiculous for consumers te
spend large sums of money for ex.
terminators and insecticides when
these can be prepared very cheaply
at home by following the directions
to be found in the various govern
ment bulletins. Which can be ob
tained from the Superintendent of
Documents, Washington, D. C. at the

Cedar-lined closets do not kill
moths. Neither do the so-called
"Moth Killing” garment bags. The
latter keeps moths out, but do not kill
those already in. Avoid solutions
which contain a salt of arsenic. Most
other exterminators on the market
<ue ineffective and largely a waste of
■iioney to consumers. When you buy
nsecficide* under their real names,
nstead of their trade names, you
save from 80 to 90 per cent.

CKO. S. SCHUYLER ADDRESSES
I). C. COMMUNITY MEETING
Washington, D. C. With George S.
Schuyler, well-known lecturer journ
alist and author, as the guest speak
r, the local unit of the Young Ne
groes’ Co-operative League sponsor
'd a Community Meeting here Friday
evening, July 22, at the Twelfth
Street YMCA.
To a representative and appreciat
e audience, Schuyler declared that
the most unique feature about Con
-umer’s Co-operation was that it
uld be applied with equal force to
both the immediate and the remote
economic probelms of any given com
munity. He urged upon his hearers
to give some thought to the virtue
-f organizing themselves into buying
clubs.
"Which , he said, “would mean
rhai there would be a profit (the dif
ference between the wholesale cost
ar.,1 the retail price) on the money
that must be spent for daily neces
-ities. Which profit, in turn, can be
used for starting larger and more im
pressive enterprises. But more im
portant still.” he concluded, “such a
community project will be convincing
proof that MUTUAL SELF-HELP
can save the Negro.”

CLEVELAND CO-OPS LAUNCH
BIG EDUCATIONAL DRIVE
Cleveland, Ohio: —On Sunday af
ternoon, July 17th, the first in a ser
ies of programs on Consumer’s Co
operation was given by the Cleveland
Council of the Young Negroes’ Co
operative League.
Mr. Rassel Perell, a foremost civic
worker of this city, as principal speak
er, stated that the Negro is doomed
to remain at the bottom of the eco
nomic ladder, unless he is willing to
put forth some effort to save himself.
Calling attention to the Negro
Church, Mr. Perell declared, “Unless
the church is able to aid the Negro
in the solution of his economic as
»
well as his religious problems, it will
have failed to serve its purpose.”
Other speakers on the program
were Mr. S. Williams of the Liberty
j |C operative Society who contended
that the Negro should be the last
group to seek to preserve the exist
ing order; and Mr. Harold Johnson,
j chairman of the Cleveland council
of the YNCL. who challenged his
; hearers to devote half as much
thought and energy to co-operative
i economics as was given to social act
ivities, “and watch the results.”
Music was furnished by the YNCL.
Choral Society, which promises to be
j one of the main features of future
programs.
JOBLESS FORM CO-OPERATIVE
UNIT
Cedar Rapids, Iowa.—According to
the United Press, five hundred job

I ive enterprise here. They will trade
services, operate a common commis
sionary and sponsor benefit shows to

DARKEST AFRICA (?)
One of the finest departmental j
stores in Natal South Africa, is own-1
jd by the Pietermaritzburg Society, a
co-operative organization. This soc-!
iety, the first South African Society j
to join the International Co-operative !
Alliance, did a business of L.43,104
i the first half year of 1931.
CO-OPERATIVE TRADE IN
GREAT BRITAIN
According to H. J. Twigg in the j
Co-operative Review, cooperative re-1
tail in Great Britain now amounts to
about one-eighth to one-tenth of the
National total. The cooperatives
handle about one-eighth of the coun
try’s foodstuffs, one-fttth of the gro
cery, bread and confectionery, one,
twelfth of the meat, one-seventh of |
the milk and of the coal, one-twelfth
of the dry goods, one-sixteenth of the
house furnishings and 595- of the

whose courage and persistency liter

Which Mr. Schuyler pointed out
J could easily be done by just spending
j ’he money that every household must
spend from week to week in a col

Cooperative Insurance service has
^aved from 25 per cent to 30 per cent
on automobile insurance, and from
30 per cent to 45 per cent on fire in
surance for its policy holders.
According to Dr. Clarence Poe of
the Progressive Farmer, cooperation
among French farmers has reduced
the cost of money to the farmer by
fifty percent, has reduced the cost of
fertilizer 40 to 50 percent, and the
cost of insurance, 30 or 40 per cent.

TAKE TIME
by R. A. ADMAS
(The Literary Service Bureau)
Just take a little time. You know
The world was not made in a day;
That real progress was always slow.
And ever it will be that way;
If you aspire to something great,
Then “Learn to labor and to wait.”
Take just a little time. That haste
In all that you may strive to do,
Will almost surely end in waste,
Is axiom entirely true;
Therefore, in what you would excel,
Take time enough to do it well!
Take time; whatever may betide,
Lay your foundation deep, and strong
If you would have your work abide.
Build well, e’en tho the time be long;
If you would dire Misfortune mock,
Take time, and build upon a rock!
*
Just take a little time and see
How well it pays to perserve,
And yet, in toiling, learn to be
Patient, till ripened fruits appear;
Only this way can we make sure
Our work shall thru the years endure!

PRUDENTIAL BANK QUICKLY
RECOVERS AFTER BANK
RUN
W^ashington,—(CNS)—Faced with
a run which threated to close their
doors, officers and friends of the
Prudential bank of this city last
week, not only averted what would
have been a panic, but pushed on
this week determined to make the
bank one of the strongest in the city.
A concerted drive for new deposit
ors has been started; and officials of
the bank announced their intention
of making this the “best year of
banking business ever experience.”
Monday an enthusiastic mass
meeting of Washington citizens was
held, at whcih time prominent speak
ers, including Miss Nannie Burroughs
and Dr. John R. Hawkins, president
of the bank, spoke. High commenda
tion of the officials of the bank was
given. Hundreds of depositors who
withdrew their funds, at the time
of the bank run have already re
deposited them, and others have
pledged to increase the amount of
their accounts.
False Rumors Start* Run ,
The run was started July 15 by
false rumors circulated by white
business houses. Several white mer
chants refused to accept checks on
the bank and falsely informed their
customers that the bank had failed.
At once the rumor spread and by;
Saturday hundreds of depositors had
withdrawn their money. Last Friday
night at a mass meeting, called by
Dr. William H. Jornagin, pastor of
the Mt. Carmel Baptist church, de
positors in the bank representing
deposits of over $100,000, reaffirm
ed their confidence in the bank and
pledged themselves not to withdraw
the funds.
Several business men in the city,
not only would not withdraw their
! money, but made substantial de
posits. One many, E. H. dements,
r made his appearance in the bank
with $5,000 in cash on Saturday and
in the presence of a line of deposit
ors seeking their money expressed
a Willingness to deposit the same.
The result of his act was electric.
Kot.n after many in the long line
left the bank without having made
withdrawals.
During the crisis, officials of the
bank worked night and day to pro
tect the interests of depositors. Con
stant contact with officials of other
banks, the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, bank examiners and the
Comptroller of the Currency was
maintained. The normal cash reserve 1
of the bank was soon exhausted be
cause of the run. Bank officials then
secured cash loans to pay off de
positors and to prevent the neces
sary of selling some of their secur
ities at depreciated prices.
Bank Stronger Because of Crisis
The bank js in a much stronger
position than ever before, it was de
clared this week. Having withstood
tremendous demands successfully,
faith in this institution has been
trebled among Washington citizens.
Praise from all sources is being re
received by all officials of the bank
Dr. Hawkins , the president; E. A.
Baker the cashier; J. H. Green, the
assistant cashier, and a score of
other directors and employees of the
institution.
ATLANTA UNIVERSITY DEVEL
OPS AS CENTER OF GREAT
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
Atlanta, Ga. July 27— (ANP)—The
(development of Atlanta university
into one of the great centers for the
education of Negroes continues with
gratifying progress. The new Atlan.
ta university library was dedicated
on April 30, 1932. A new administra
tion building is being erected on
ground adjoining the Atlanta uni
versity and Morehouse college cam
puses. It will contain administrative
offices for the affiliated institutions,
post office bookstore and some class
rooms.
A great dormitory tor graduate
students is under construction on the
west end of the old Atlanta univer.
sity campus. It is over 600 feet long
and will contain 200 single rooms for
students in addition to reception
rooms, kitchen and guest rooms. The
arch'mct for all these buildings is
James Gamble Rogers, Inc., of New
York City.
The total building program will
cost a million dollars. The library
was a gift of the General Education
Board; the other buildings were made
possible by the gift of an anonymous
friend of Atlanta university.
The most recent move which is
significant not only with regard to
the physical centering of the colleges
i
for Negroes in Atlanta, but also in
the development of the educational
program is the leasing of Morris
Brown college of the buildings form
erly used by Atlanta university,
namely, Stone hall, South hall, North
hall and Furber cottage. Morris
Brown college will be moved to the
campus of Atlanta university in
September, leasing these buildings at
a nominal cost of maintenance. This
will give the Morris Brown students
not only better opportunity to use
the new library, but also will make
possible the exchange of students in
college courses.
