Following publication of the firs* adverttisments in national publications, the entire campaign is expected to gather momentum rapidly as state and local govcrn mtfits, civic organizations, trade associations, business) films' and individuals launch their cooperat ive activities to increase the de mand for Nebraska agricultural products, fruits and vegetables, and to promote the development of tourist traffic and the stata’s industrial development. Advertising to build a greater market for Nebraska agricultural product^ will be addressed to mil lers, l)ikers and wholesale fruit and vegetable dealers ip national publications. l>ui false superstition* held by millers outside the local area that Nebraska’s hard winter wheat is inferior to tjhat grown in other sections, will be combatted by a series of six-full page advertise ments in four miiller and baker publications. The quality and pre ferability of Nebraska wheat and its advantages in milling and bak ing, authenticated by the Nebras ka Grain Improvement association state department of agriculture and the state university, will form the basis of the text for these ad vertisement^. Apples and potatoes grown in Nebraska are the equal or super ior to those grown anywhere. The market for Nebraska apples and potatoes, however, has been hand icapped by extensive advertising carried on by growers in other states. To tell t|e w|or|d about the high quality of Nebraska ap ples, potatoes and other fruits and vegetables, such ✓ as tomatoes, sweet com, beans, cabage, a series of advertisements will be publish ed in The Packer and its related sectional editions. These advertise ments am scheduled as the various crops are available to buyers. Ne braska consumers may also be urged to buy Nebraska-grown veg etables and fruits. Reprints of the advertisements Will be distributed among grocers of Nebraska to stimulate the home market for these Nebraska prod ucts. Domestic sugar users have clung to a popular prejudice that “beet sugar will not jell’ long af ter this ceased to be true. To dis pel this mistaken belief, a series of advertisements in Good House keeping Magazine will tell home makers of the improvements in growing and refining that have le moved these objections and made beet sugar equal to cane in every respect. Equally important as the nat ionally advertising in this “three barreled” state compaign is the “Buy Nebraska” campaign to be carried on through all Nebraska newspapers and radio stations. This is designed to promote the use of Nebraska-grown and Neb raska-processed products by Neb raskans. In addition to the news paper advertisements and) radio announcements, civic, farm and busiess organizations will be ask ed to cooperate in this campaign. The ‘‘Buy Nebraska’’ message will be carried on billbards, in displays and by direct mail advertising of Nebraska agricultural and indus I trial organizations and by individ ual firms.

National advertising to lure travelers to and through Nebras ka will be deferred until next spring, because the commission’s appropriation was not made avail able until the 1940 tourist season was more than half over. Early in 1941. a series of advertisements will appear in Life Magazine to secure for Nebraska a greater share of the 1941 tourist crop. Courtesy will be Nebraska’s ap peal to tourists. Through cooper ation of city officials, civic organ izations and business men of com munities on all highways crossing the state, tourists will be shown special courtesies through issu ance of “Honorary Citizen’’ insig nia These, signed by the gover nor, and in the form of stickers to be affixed to the windshields of visitors’ cars, will identify them as special guests of the state. State highwtvy patrolmen and filling station operators along the state borders will assist in distrib uting these “Courtesy Cards.’’ They also will distribute a graphic travel folder with map telling of the many places of interest thru out the state.

(Continued Next Week) A CHAMP IN- FARLEY HAS CHANCE TO AID NEGRO r PLAYERS (by Bob Considine) New Yo-k, July 30 —Jim Far ley's defense of Harry Wills’ rights, when Jim wa,s the princip al boxing solon of New York, will be used as a just reason why he should encourage the entrance of colored ball players into the Yan kee chain. Fourteen yea p ago Farley risk ed public censure in many places by driving his friend, the enorm ously popular Dempsey, out of NeW York. Dempsey had promJ ised Farley he would defend his title against Wills. Tex Richard r.r.d (Jack Kearns we* not in fav or of the fight. They believed they could draw more money with Gene Tunney, and that Tunney wouldn’t be as tough a foe. Farley was adamant, and the DempsayfTunney (fights went to Philadelphia and Chicago. New York lost millions of dollar-* whicn would havcl been spread ai evund by fight visitors. LIVEN PICKET SIGN We were in Fo~d Frick’s office the other day when Joseph Mc Mahon, wiho played a lot of base l^ill alDund Kansas City many years ago, came in bearing a pic ket sign. ? Frick wasn’t there, but McMa hon displayed his picket sign. It read: “Unfair to color race. All pp fessional trades treat them equal since Lincoln.’’ “I've seen Frick several times about coKm*4 ball players.’’ the old gentleman told us, “He’s very decent about it, but he says it’s up to the individual owners, not to me.” Speaking of colo "ed ball play ers reminds us of the interesting S. E. Post piece on Satchel Paige b,. Ned Shane. No doubt there have been colored players good enough for the big leagues. HARD PACE FOR PAIGE But to assume all the better known colored players were c-| are good enough for jobp in the big show is as foolish as to as sume all Irishmen make great fighters, or a IN Polish-Americans work on the Fordham football team. Paige, undisputed No. 1 figure in colored ball, probably wa,s ex cellent a few years ago, Back in 1934 Dizzy I)ean said Satch was the greatest pitcher in the world. Right now Satch must be around 40. Poor training facilities, pic nic food and ba rnstorming life must have militated against his condition. SUPERNATURAL AURA Shane, like many other writers, lent a supernatural aura to vari oiy* colored stars. He compared the current Paige to Bobby Fel* let, becaus^ ctf t/heir /Strikeous— overlooking the fact Feller pitches daily against the likes of DiMag gio. Foxx, Grenberg, etc. Shane also says Jim “Fancy Dan” West is a better fielding first bapeman than was Hal Chase which will bring a chuckle frem old timers. This writer thinks colored play ers who are good enough should have a chance in a game vtfch has been so well supported by colored fans. tg*th**h*m**t**h*t*t*i*i*m JACKSON 0288 FIDELITY STORAGE & VAN CO.

Bishop’s Widow Compli mented for Fair Dealing’ In Settlement of $250,000 Estate Memphis, Tenn.. Aug. 12 (ANP Mrs. J. C. Martin, widow of Bis hop Martin of the Colored Metho dist Episcopal Church, received high praise from a Chancery Court judge last week, because of her honept dealing in distribution of the Bishop’s $250,000 estate for which he left no will. ‘‘It is a legal axioim that “Where there is a wall there is a lawsuit’” Chancellor Bejach said, and prais ed Mrs. Maitin for estabishing the fact that $21,000 in bonds, kept in a safety deposit box at Jackson Tenn., was the property of the bishop’s sister, Miss Cora Wincn ester, school teacher. The bonds represented investments made ov er a period of years by the bishop for his sister, Mrs. Martin declar ed. The bishop’ widow could have contested disposition of the bonds, according to R. I. Moore, attorney and admintetratwr of the estate, but declined to do so. “It is refreshing to see such honepty and fair dealing”, Chan cellor Bojach stated. “Jt is not often that we find such a high sense of honor in people when it comes to dealing with money.’’ CLASSIFIED ADS 3 Room Apt., Furnished.

Walker's preparations exclusively be cause I get results from them that I am unable to get from any other preparation,” stated a well known business woman the other day. The secret of the remarkable success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s preparations is in the fact that they were blended by the late ( Madam C. J. Walker to reach i certain definite conditions of the I hair, skin and scalp, and today, after over thirty-five years on the market, they are growing increasingly popular, and not withstanding the fact that the Company has always refused to reduce the price on these goods, they are still in demand every where. ( • Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glossine, although more than thirty-five years on the market, is still the leader in its field. The reason for this is because it not only serves as a scalp oil, but it gives the hair that silky sheen and natural gloss that is the delight of every woman. , Mme. C. J. Walker’s Brown Face Powder is not just another Face Powder, but is the result of years of experimenting to pro duce the perfect blend to impart a velvetlike softness and at the same time cooling and refresh ing.
