Fourth Of July.

Best Of all, our old-tinle road
builders were vindicated. When all

the state highway engineers. the
old road remained just comfort
ably good Shedding. Plotted long
before the dawn of efficient engi-
neering, this friendly, forgotten
wheel-track rolled with the
punches of the blizzard and COL
lected only a very few drifts. It
was built the natural way, follow
ing the grade set by wandering
herds, and lively horse could
draw a cutter over that old high
way when a Cotton cat tractor
couldn't bulge the drifts on the
newer road. Our forefathers
knew how, but they would have
flunked merit exam.
Tools eventually wear out. Along
about Grounding day, Henry Nc
Carthy bought a dozen new snow
shovels. Most people thought
Henry was plunging but he sold
four during the blizzard and ex-

One native spends the greater part

for a good argument are excel

Poetic Thoughts
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.
Get Together

If there ever was a time for har-
mony
And men should firmly see,
That unity is now paramount
To keep our country free.
If ever any doctrine preached
Is more necessary to be told,
It's the doctrine of brotherly love
Practiced now, before your aggres-
sor gets bold.
There's only one way to do this,
Get together on a common ground,
Talk things quietly over
So outsiders won't hear a sound.
That's the way to carry on bust
ness,
Lay low and saw wood,
You'll make progress and others
will see
That Negroes can do some good.
When sane people congregate
On important questions,
There's no need for any hullabaloo
To try and satisfy certain factions.
An election is coming on,
Make your minds up now,
For how you vote will be final
AS many candidates will take
bow.

Letters From The People .

reply is burnt bread scraped. What
is the cost one may ask? There are
exactly % slices of bread in each
twin-loaf of bread excluding the
heels which cause so many family
misunderstanding. Each twin-loaf
costs $O.1S. Let me say ridiculous
ly conservative that 10000 Negroes
eat four slices of bread a day.
Then 4 times 10000 equal 10000
slices daily. Each two slices cost
about one cent. This means that
$4,000 is spent each day for bread.
In one year, this amounts to ST.
100000.
Our meat diet ranges from neck
bones which cost about 12c a pound
to lamb chops which cost about 3Oc
a pound. Each one of these 10000
must eat at least pound of meat
a week. Let me use 25c as the av-
erage price paid for meat. Multi
plying 25c by 10000, the product is
$2,5OO.OO per week. In a year, the
amount is $23, 75O, 100000.
In these three articles which have
to do with our expenditures in cof-
fee, cosmetics and this final one on
bread and meat many, many things
have been left out. Such things as
textiles, including women's stock
ings, underclothing, shoes, hats,
patent medicines such as aspirin,
automobiles, rent, radios, fixtures
and furniture and many more
things. What the writer has tried
to do in these articles was first of
all to analyze what Mr.. Cecil New
man pointed out in an editorial De-
cember Is, 1889, about the two and
one-half million dollars spent by
the Negroes in the Twin Cities. Of
course he only meant the bare
necessities. This does not destroy
or alter the fact that he was exact
ly right. The truth is that both of
US have been too modest in stating
the colossal amount of potential
power tied up in this amount of
money.

ulty Athletic Committee yesterday

there next year.
Scholastic standards for athletes
will not be lowered, it was stressed,
but the increased budget and gen.
eral expansion is regarded as plac-
ing the Eagles on a firmer athletic
