! SWINDLERS TAKE
SECURITIES FROM
DALLAS, Texas.-—-Exploitation
< of the southern negro, who has
t reached a new stage of prosperity
j as a result of record cotton prices
} and high wages of the past few
g years, has gained such propoortions
, that federal and state authorities
are preparing for a drive on per
sons who swindle the negro out of
government war securities.
Unscrupulous salesmen have flood
ed the south, telling the negro that
his liberty bonds, war savings and
thrift stamps are of less than face
value and offering to take them in
exchange for oil or mine stock or
dazzling bits of jewelry.
Negroes all through the South
bought freely of government securi
ties. Sometimes they did not know
; .iust what they were buying, negro
_ leaders say, but knew the govern
. ment wanted money and quickly
emptied their purses. Some thought
they were giving instead of invest
ing.
They were better off than ever
before. Those who had farmed on
shares the preceeding years had
i obtained more money for their
cotton than they ever expected to
posses and those who worked for
wages in the fields were paid twice
the wages of a few' years ago.
A letter just sent out by Prof.
E. L. Blackshear of the negro ex
tension work in Texas, says negroes
are being offered cheap and often
worthless goods with the assurance
that their saving stamps and Liberty
- Bonds are not of par value and
- i will not be for several years. It is
j then casually suggested by sales
' men that the negro may be dead
? before his holdings reach par value
and emphasis is laid on the enjoy
ment he would get by the imme
diate purchase of their goods, possi
bly cheap trinkets, a worthless sew
ing machine or musical instrument.
Prof. Blackshear has written cir
' cular letters to the leaders of the
race in the state, urging immediate
action to stamp out the evil by a
campaign of education.

H. B. Joseph, local food adminis
trator, issued a notice today regard- j
ing the discontinuance of sugar |
rationing as from tomorrow.
This is the last restriction in the;
food conservation program to ^ re
moved and Nenana has now been
put on a pre-war basts, but, not
withstanding the fact that the food
conservation rules have been re
laxed, Nenanaites are urged to ob
serve strict economy in tiie use of
sugar, as well as other items of food.
The notice referred to is as
follows:
Notice.
Effective at \ a m., Sunday, ’
November 24. 1918, rationing of
sugar and sugar cards will be dis-j
continued in this district.
But on honor, you are to con
tinue economizing in the use of
sugar and all other food.
Half the world it on the ve'ge of
starvation, and to do lets under
such circumstances is a crime.
It makes no difference that the j
food which we have here cannot
be used to help those who need it,
owing to the lack of transportation;
the waste of food is none the less
the act of one who has not reached
the average standard of human j
civilization.
Actual hostilities have ceased al- j
most everywhere; but the results of.
the conflict will directly affect us
all for years to come.
The Food Administration is mak ;
ing extensive plans for relieving!
the situation. We can surely help j
in some more direct way than sav-:
ing food which cannot be made im- j
mediately available.
Plans for such help will be dis- j
cussed by the Council of Defense, i
and announced later.
