tion appropriate since the demo
cratic ideal is on trial in United
Sta es and elsewh re. “It remains
for America to show tha world

r, fealify and workable. At no
other time has the problem of

try been so acute.”
One of Uhe several purposes is
Jo found a new concept of race
relations. Once tha Negro, eman
cipated though he wr.s from chat
tel slaveiy, lived in bondage non"

shako off th yoke. And through

Correspondence and pledges of
Negro intellecturals, scholars,
writer', t achers, and artists are
united in seeing the Exposition
serve as a means 'jo the further

Tho nature of Detroit's indus

Jokes, they are good medicine
—when the joke i* on the o (her
guy—like where yo-u let sums
othe,. person’s hat ge1! blown off
and run over ly a truck.
And I got to thinking about
joke-, and who they are on, on
account of the goings-on down
in Old Spendthrift Town.
A f w years back, our Agricul
tural Department, :M told the
faiirrrs it would be wonderful
to raise the price of corn-meal,
al ■ bacon. But instead of being
v, joko on the city folks, it was
r. tack fir:, and the farmers got
their eyebrows singed. And then
'they tried selling cotton in Eu
' ro, t cheaper than at home, and
this time it was a joke on just,
about everybody—except the guy
in. Europe.
And now we have padlocked
the wheat in the farmer’* crib,
end nob dy knows who th s last
joko is on bu'! the taxpayer, he
in commencing to scratch his
wrinkled brow.
And thy Farmer in the Dell—
1 o is in a mess.
I’ack yonder aroun 1 a y ’ar
ago, everybody was all work’d
IV about '.bp business of investi
gating the fracas down ther on
the Tennessee River.
And I been th'nking about it,
from seeing an oi l paper which I
run across when I was kinda
'('dying up cry d°sk, b fore my
Sus''c come-, jn and does it her
self—and I would never know, j
thereafter, where to find any
thing.
