Foolish

So many individuals and organi-
cations promoting affairs which
they expect the public to support,
do not give their promotion the
chance of success.
The saying "You must spend
money to make money" may be old
and very trite, but it is surely the
truth if ever told. People in this
community hold direct successful
affairs are coming to realize that
if any public entertainment is to
be successful it must be advertised
in every manner possible.
These same persons, or at least
the majority of them, have recog-
nized that the most economical and
most trustworthy kind of advertis-
ing is that offered by the news
paper. An 84c ad in this paper will
be read by more people than will
read 10000 handbills, costing in ex-
cess of $50.
The advertising department of
this paper is always ready and
willing to help promoters map out
complete newspaper campaigns.
This department has helped many
public teas, programs, rallies,
dances and picnics along the road
to large crowds and money in the
till when the affair is over. News
paper advertising may seem to cost
more, but it costs no more because
it produces more results.
Look around for proof and the
fair observer will see that most af-
fairs which are failures either
have nothing to offer or do not use
advertising. Ninety
nine per cent of the successful en-
tertainments given in this city use
publicity and advertis-
ing. It's service can hardly be du-
plicated by any other medium or
method of getting the crowds.

Mr.. Cecil Newman,
Publisher,
Minneapolis Spokesman.
l want to take this means in
which to thank you for advancing
the free publicity on the dance held
for the purpose of raising funds to
help send Charles Beasley to the
New York Worlds Fair with the
North High school band.
Some day we may perfect a To-
cal unit of organization among our
people which will prepare US to
meet such emergencies. Until then
it will take individuals like your
self and the many other fine people
who contributed to this cause, to
bear the burden of our struggles.
Very truly yours,

Poetic Thoughts
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.
Two Fishers

One morning in Spring when one
has dreams,
A morn to a poets wishing,
All tinted in delicate pinks and
greens,
Miss Jennie and 1 went fishing.
I in my rough and easy clothes,
With my face at the sun-tan's
mercy;
She with her hat tipped down to
her nose,
And her nose tipped vice versa.
I with my rod, my reel and my
hooks,
And a hamper for lunching re-
cesses;
She with the bait of her comedy
looks,
And the seine of her golden
tresses.
So we sat down on the sunny dixie,
Where the white pond lilies
teeter,
And l went to fishing like quaint
old Ike,
And she like Simon Peter.
All the noon 1 lay in the light of
her eyes,
And dreamily watched and wait
ed,
But the fish were cunning and
would not rise,
And the batter alone was baited.
And when the time Of departure
came,
Ny bag hung fiat as a founder;
But Jennie had neatly hooked her
game
A hundred and sixty FOUNDER.

By Hobart T. Mitchell
A COLOR SCHEME


What is the difference between a
Negro and a person of color? In
legal sense the words have an
interesting history dating back
more than a hundred years. What
were those persons to be called
who had a splash of Indian blood,
dash of white, and a portion of
African blood? Legally the line
had to be drawn-where to start
and where to end was somewhat
perplexing.
Mr.. Beauregard, a citizen of
New Orleans, in 1910, started this
legal ball to rolling when he
brought back from the West Indies
a young girl, Adele, born of mixed
parentage. Miss Adele, after a
short stay in the home of Mr..
Beauregard, was sent to New York
City and placed in a boarding
school. Her expenses, while in the
school, were paid by Mr.. Beaure-
gard, her guardian.
After a few years in the board
ing school Miss Adele was request
ed to return to the household of
her guardian in New Orleans. Re-
siding with him for a few months,
she left his home and brought suit
for her freedom and pay for her
services for the time she had been
in his home. She maintained that
it was up to her master to prove
ownership by some written title or
at least he acquired possession of
her without fraud. But her guar
dian argued that in order to re-
ceive her freedom she would have
to prove that she was born free,
or had been emancipated.
To dispose of the case a legal
definition had to be made between
a Negro and a person of color. If
Adele was a Negro she would re-
main in slavery. If she was a per-
son of color she would go free.
After much elaboration the
court finally decided that our hero
inc, Miss Adell, could not collect
her wages which was offset by the
gratitude of the master in giving
her an education. With a further
stroke of judicial wisdom the court
decided that persons of color were
not necessarily Negroes, but per-
sons of color only, for they may
have descended from Indians on
both sides, from white parents or
mulatto parents in possession of
their freedom. Miss Adele, being
a person of color, secured her free
dom on this decision.
What is a Negro? Absurd as
the question apparently is, it is one
of the most perplexing and, at
times, most embarrassing that has
faced our legislators and judges.
