WHAT CAN BE DONE WHEN WORKING TOGETHER We are told that recently colored people In an eastern city succeeded In crippling a large ice cream manu facturers* business because at a pub lic meeting of some kind the ern ployee of the ice cream manufactar Ing company, served the colored peo ple after all whites had been served. The news was flashed about the city among the colored people through their paper and from their pulpits. In a very short time, all the colored drug stores, colored entertainers, con- fectionery stores and Ice cream par lors which had been using his Ice cream, stopped using IL This was keenly felt by the manufacturer, for there were some thirty colored drug stores alone which sold his cream And while the manufacturer made a feeble effort to deny his Implication in the insulting episode, the colored people stuck together and steadfast ly refused to patronise him. Portland colored people would do well to learn from these eastern brothers and learn to trust their own and the wont ot their own. equally. If not more than others and their words See how effective our pat- ronage can be when we pool it? Think on this. The Advocate is glad to welcome again Miss Emogene Clarkston of Washington. D.

For artistry, accuracy, beauty, pur ity. power, history and nobleness, this cinema production cannot be beat. The Covered Wagon is showing for its third week at the Heilig Theater to large, enthusiastic audiences. And deservedly so. v-cause this film pre dicts the struggles and hardships of the early settlers of Oregon, who planted the western civilization. The cross-country trip frem Missouri to Oregon in covered wagons in 1848-49 is a roost remarkable reproduction, accurate In eTery detail.

OUR ADVERTISERS Again we call the attention of our readers to the necessity ot patronis ing our advertisers since without them we could not afford to publish a paper for you They show beyond a doubt that they want your trade when they ask for It through your newspaper.

Mr. Slemp bails from Virginia and is credited with being one of the leader in the "Lily whits'* movement which has for ita object the disfranchise ment of the colored voters of that state.

Reminiscences of old timers will be highly appreciated by the manage ment of The Advocate. TO THE PEOPLE OF PORTLAND THIS BEAUTIFU HAIR STRAI6HTENIN6 AND SHAMPOO COMB leans RECIPROCITY Agali. we ball the a.tention to those who wish free space in The Advocate to the fact that it requires money to publish a paper. Our policy is to go our limit with free space for the doings of our subscribers and sup porters. charging them only for those Items we cannot class as news, and tor which we are compelled to make « charge. But those people who steadfastly refuse to turn loose a puny 83.56 a year for a subscription to The Advocate, would do well to enclose a m ney erd'-r or check when sending in their doings and activi ties which are of no special news value. An individual who spends his money with any flrm certainly gets mor- consideration from that flrm than one who does not. The same is true with The Advocate. Although it is developed in one color, two different materials enter into the design of this ttock. The blouse is in French voile .iad the skirt in rating. The color is sunburst, a vivid pinkish yellow, although other tones may be chosen, if desired. Two styles of sleeves are provided for the blouse— deep extensions slashed on the upper side and gath-ved into narrow cuffs or extensions slashed on the under side and allowed to flare. . Medium size requires 2 Vi yards 36-inch voile for the blouse and 2’4 yards rating for the skirt Pictorial Review Blouse No. 1535. Sizes, 34 to 4» inches bust. Price, 35 cents. Skirt No. 7657.
