Swine

Now with the pigs we'll have some
fun
December the first, the years begun
So count them up-mothers and all
And you'll get some money in the fall
If you have raised three fourths the
lot
Of the average, of all the pigs you
got.
In the past two years less sows and
boars
So gather near and close the doors.
Now how many pigs did you sell, and
the weight
Who came and got them, give me the
date
Have you evidence attached? For
sooth, forsooth,
I'm really sure you're telling the
truth.
If you had three sows and couple
dogs"
And you sold from them three score
of hogs
And you butchered eight and kept
back five,
And three of these are still alive.
Of course you're right, so sign to-day
And cuss like hell, till you get your
pay.

city officials connected with the man

local Negro lawyer, to .alt the jim

stitution. The injunction suit, nled
August 16, is fostered and supported
bv the St. Louis Branch of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment Of Colored People. Henry u.
cspv and S. R. Redmond. respective
ly president and chairman of the
branch's executive COMMITTEES, are at
orneys for the plai.tiff, along with
Attorney Robert L Witherspoon.
The petition charges that whereas
nlaintiff and other Negro citizens
have been taxed to build and maintain
the new city auditorium, those whom
the building is leaser discriminate
against Negroes in the sale Of tickets
solely on the ground that they are
Negroes 1t is to stop this %unconsti-
t~utional policy that the injunction is
sought. n
Officials of the N A A G P branch
in commenting on the suit point out
that the Missouri supreme court N
commenting in 1928 on the legality
of the bond issue for the building Of
the auditorium, said it was erected
for the promotion Of the common
veal; educational, artistic, labor, mu-
steal, and industrial. Nevertheless,
last spring Negroes we're refused
tickets to the grand opera at the au-
ditorium. Several committees Of Ne
groes protested to the Mayor but
without avail. When the building
was first opened. it is charged, GER
tain Negro nights were designated.
Newspapers declared that no provis-
ion, was being made for Negroes to
attend the opera. Later it was an
nounced that for the fall opera sea-
son seats were being set aside in the
rear Of the balcony. The city officials
advance the excuse that the lessss of
the auditorium and net they are re-
advance for the jim growing Of the col
