If 5000 people take a bath once a

use 100000 year for soap alone.
Excluding vaseline, and many
shampoos, there are at least five
crosses of hair grease used each
week by those who use it. Each

$17.28. Five crosses will cost $500

The SeH-Out

1t is said by some people in au-
thority that every man has his
price-politically or otherwise. Yes,
we all have a price when it comes
to votes. Our votes cannot be
bought for a keg of beer, a few
drinks of bad whiskey or a table
piled high with banquet sand
witches. Nor, can they be bought
with some high sounding, double
talking, high-faluting, empty
words of a smooth politician, be he
white or black, be he Republican
or Democrat, who conveys the idea
to his state or ward committeeman
that he has the Negro vote in his
left vest pocket. That kind of a
politician will sell you out or fade
out for a months rent.
The Negro vote has been bought
for a price. Lewis Adams sold his
colored brothers out, down in Tus-
kegee, Alabama, about sixty years
ago. The price tag of that sell-out
can never be erased from the pages
of history.

Letters From The People
Twin City Negroes and
Cosmetics
(By Herbert HOweIl)

To the Editor:
Last week there appeared in this
column an article titled: Negroes
and Coffee" 1t was estimated that
$25, 800 year was spent for coffee
by our group in this area.
In the cosmetics group will be
found toilet soap, tooth paste, tooth
powder, hair preparations, and such
equipment as curling irons, tooth
brushes, etc. Because all of these
things and more are used in the
applications of these various cos
metics.
Starting with face and talcum
powder, my conservative estimate
is that there is at least 800 small
boxes of face powder used in a
week. 1 am not including the
powder that is used by the sitter

ern planter of some distinction,
called on Lewis Adams, the most
thought of colored man in Macon
County, Alabama, to help him
gather in the Negro vote (colored
people could vote in Alabama in
188O) so that he could be elected
to the Legislature. Adams agreed
to help the Southern gentleman on
one condition. That condition being
that if he were elected to the Leg
islature he would put forth a bill
for money to start school in the
little town of Tuskegee. This was
agreed to by the planter. All the
pay Adams received was a nod of
the head and a shake of the hand
to seal the bargain.
With the aid of the colored vote
the man was elected. The promise
was fulfilled. There stands today
in the town of Tuskegee a monu-
ment to the Negro that sold out his
race politically. Yes, the Negro
vote can be bought. It must be
bought for a similar price that
Adams sold out his race in 1880.
The price tag attached to that sell
out was TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE.

Poetic Thoughts
By Morris Gibbs. Sr.

Welcome
Give the stranger a hearty well
come.
Make him feel at home,
For your impression will accom-
plish
The feeling they are not alone.
Give everyone a smile and hand
shake.
Make them always feel,
They're never intruding on you
And your welcome will always
appear real.
Many a visitor has labeled
Some towns as stiff and cold,
People get this impression
Because of the way they're sold.
It is your civic duty
To sell your city to strangers,
By putting your best foot forward
Just like you'd do for sisters or
brothers.
Hold an interesting conversation
Speak of your towns advantages,
Shown by your enthusiasm
They'll be convinced of its oppor-
tunities.
There's only one way to welcome
Make it from the heart,
Let your personality be an example
So others will make the same start.

Bannarn Exhibit
In Downtown Mpls.
Well Attended

An exceptional group OF art ap-
preciators were present at the in
formal opening of Henry Ban
narn's art show at the Harriet
Hanley Gallery, Minneapolis, Mon
day evening, October 7. Members
of local art galleries, libraries and
museums, state departments, art
critics, artists recently returned
from New York, came to view the
recent productions of this Mime
apolis artist.
There was sincere appreciation
of the high degree of quality of
work turned out by Bannarn since
his return home this summer, and
painting, as Bannarn executed it,
became something any man or
woman with cultural instinct could
enjoy.
Minnesota Scene Emphasized
Minnesota was definitely the
dominating emphasis in the ex-
hibit with familiar grain elevators,
flour mills, gardens, truck farms
and hills much in evidence. From
sketches made during vacation in
Maine there are scenes of New
England hills and an oil "Moun-
tain Trail" with superb wind
swept trees and vital foliage.
"Wheat Field" had marked ap-
peal to the visitors and the live
ly use of yellows, browns and blues
in appropriate accents drew con-
siderable admiring comment. "Cor-
raj" occupied a wall by itself in
appreciation of artistic skill. "Mill
Pond" a Minnesota scene, and
"Ruins of the Savage Building"
were of particular interest to local
people. His subjects ranged from
tender mood in Summer Rain"
to the stern reality of woman
Ironing" Pen and ink caricatures
added a lighter touch to the show.
AS a sculptor Bannarn has
achieved, through choice of par
ticular materials, problems of pc
culiar significance to present day
life. The deeply serious side of the
artist is shown here.
John Brown Sculptured
John Brown (executed in Min
nesota stone) symbol of martyr
dom in an era of upheaval in our
country, is a dignified supplement
to the historical group Bannarn
has been assembling as particu-
lar interest over a period of years.
The self-contained strength and
muscular power depicted in the
head of a "Prize-Fighter" shows
great precision by its creator.
From an inspiration received
from documents assembled by a
New York organization on lynch
ing, the sculptor thoughtfully de-
voted himself to an intensely stir
ring apple-wood carving Of the
"Torso of a Lynch Victim" His
version of mob atrocity has long
interested Bannarn but this sum-
mer is the first time suitable ma
terial and hours free from teaching
duties made execution possible of
this subject.
"Scrub- Woman" another sculp-
ture, and acclaimed as the peak of
the exhibit, showed creative
height with forceful, stirring in
depreciation of the dignity OF
labor. individuality and vigor domi-
mated the treatment given this
creation.
The general character of the ex-
hibit was sincere and straight.
