SQUARE IS BEAUTY WHITE — OR — CORRECTION AND By Chas. A. Starks. This is the first time that I have complained about the defection of the printer and I only do so now in view of the fact that what I choose to term a grevious error has been committed. In last week's article entitled "Is White Supreme?" an incorrectly printed paragraph either happened through extreme haste or inadvertence, and I hope most surely not through any untoward design. The following contains the reversal statement, which is obviously incorrect. I have put the erroneous words under pointed parenthesis so ye shall know them: "The whole earth speaks in the darker colors and whatever is responsible for the propagation of colors of races it certainly runs in dark, because the darker people number about ('Five to seven in the world.')" You can readily see why the error should be corrected. To let it pass over unchallenged would be an injustice to the Colored people and myself as a writer. The truth is, and my manuscript so reads: that the Darker Races number better than seven to five. This means that there are seven darker Colored persons in the world to every five persons who can justly claim affiliations with the Simon pure White Race. There are available statistics which will give us a much larger percentage in numbers. Now what is the logic of the pre- JAMES H. CREWS Chairman of the wonderful mens' Day Meeting at Allen Chapel last Sunday. The women will have to "go some" to surpass the record made by the men last Sunday. ceding statement This much: it proves we are the majority of kind and therefore the immediate descendants of primitive and natural stock. Natural means to Nature. To nature mean to God. To God means to all that is real and good. Note then, too, where this naturalness of the Darker son runs back. Do you think that A WHITE SOLDIER HANGED. Nat Hoffman of Camp McArthur At facked a School Girl. Waco, Tex., July 11.—Nat Hoffman, a white soldier, was hanged at 5:45 o'clock this morning at Camp McArthur. He was convicted of attacking a school girl last April. Hoffman was a member of the supply company, 19th Field Artillery. One evening last April Hoffman met the girl in company with a boy about her age in a lonely wooded spot near Camp MacArthur. The boy was first attacked and ran away, after which the girl was attacked. The boy reported the affair and military police were soon on Hoffman's trail. He was captured early in the evening and the trial followed soon thereafter. Mr. T. S. Wade and daughter of Enid, Okla., stopped over in the city for a few days visit enroute home from Mexico, Mo. The Kansas City Sun having such a oneness with nature we should be the docile absorbers of despice and ridicule on account of our nature—color from those whose claims to solidarity of foundation and origination are less practical than ours? The very thing that tends to keep the Negro psychologically depressed is his lack of thought along the lines of Ethnology—the science of Races. For instance, he imagines that he only forms one-tenth of the world's population because that is his relative number here at home. But the moment that he realizes intelligently that instead of being in the minority he is rather in the glorious majority of the Race of men his status takes a leap upward in his own estimation. This "consciousness of kind" is great when the thought itself tends to elevate and give a tone of self respect instead of depressed feeling. Am I trying to express any sinister notions here? Positively no! I am writing facts, history, and to some of us—news. We hold that facts are the greatest things in the world. Lord Bacon said "History makes men wise," and we further say that "News" of the right kind makes us happy. We are giving below what to some will be facts, some history and to some great news. To others the whole outline will be strange and startling. By way of introduction, we are the sons and daughters of Ethiopia and Egypt. Our progenitors were strong in grandeur and noble physique, health and hardihood. What we lack today is self-appreciation; an insight into our own with the scientific eye. The following standardized tables will give us a new respect for ourselves: Color, white; features, many typed. Special points: Noses, prominent, wonderful variations; hair, long, light and straight; eyes, blue to grey; lips, many thin and many protruding; teeth, as a rule poor; ears, normal; complexion, chiefly toneless; skin, being translucent, discovers too easily the blood and veins which act detrimentally to the evenness of exterior appearance. Color, dark, brown, gold and fair; features, fairly proportioned. Special points: Noses, seldom prominent and exactly proportioned; hair, black with dark bristling red, wooly texture and abrogated length; eyes, fine, radiant, black and cool soft brown dominating; lips, medium proportioned and slightly protruding; teeth, excellent, the whitest and most even in the world; ears, normal; complexion, varied from fast black with its richness to mellow cream skin, a solid covering of color hiding detractive blood and corpuscle. Again facts are wonderful. We should not fear them but rather march right on boldly and face them whether they are pleasant or unpleasant. Pain comes from misadjustment of facts or the introduction of error into their order. Facts placed in symmetrical array expresses the true idea of beauty—beauty is harmony and harmony is Truth. LEON HERRIFORD PROMOTED. SICK BABY CAMP OPEN. The Interdenominational Baby Camp Association desires to announce the opening of a Camp Sunday, July 21st for the benefit of the sick babies in our Community through the remainder of July and August. The Camp will be located in Spring Valley Park near 26th street and Woodland Avenue. There will be a Registered nurse and several of Kansas City's best physicians in charge. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1918. WHEATLEY-PROVIDENT HOS- PITAL NEARING COMPLETION Contractors Say They Will Positiveley Be Through By August 1. When Finished Will Be the Most Beautiful and Complete Of Its Kind Owned By Colored People In the United States. HAVE YOU PAID YOUR PLEDGE? The new Wheatley-Provident Hospital at 1826 For6est Avenue is rapidly being rounded into shape and the Contractors are putting on the finishing touches and it will undoubtedly be "a thing of beauty and a joy forever" to the Negro people of the great southwest. Hundreds of splendid, honorable, upright citizens, men and women, white and Colored have paid their subscriptions in full or part to make this condition possible but there are a great many who have not as yet paid their subscriptions and some few who have not paid a cent. All the pledges according to the contract blank are now drawing 6% interest and will continue to do so until paid. Every subscriber who realizes the urgent necessity of suitable hospital facilities for the large Negro population in this city realizes that he should do his part toward making this necessity a complete realization. Among those who have paid since our last report are: $100.00—Dr. T. C. Unthank. $50.00—Cooper & Campbell. $25.00—Dr. S. H. Thompson. $15.00—Mr. Hardy Smith. YeeHee the Chinese merchant at 1604 East 18th street sent in his check for $10.00 and said that he believed every Colored man ought to have a part in help building an Institution of this kind. If a Chinese merchant will be this liberal with us, what ought our own men do? The following have paid during the past week in addition to those listed above: $10.00—Mrs. Callie Diggs, D. E. Blackburn, Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Mason, J. W. H. Phillips, Prof. and Mrs. D. N. Crosthwait, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Bell. $5.00—Mrs. Susie Mohtgomery, Prof J. H. Coleman, Fred Lewis, Miss Josephine Martin, Jas. D. Brown, Mrs Eva Nicholson, Mrs Nettie Moore Miss Anna Smith, Miss Ida Rogers and Alfred Sales. $2.50—Mrs. A. J. Johnson. $1.00—Alonzo Brown. Pay your subscription! A Word To My Friends. When amid the activities of life, one is incapacitated by some malady, it is then that our appreciation of the services of physicians, nurses and friends is the keenest. In my recent illness, the real value of friendship was brought more forcibly to my attention than ever before. If such expressions of sympathy, careful attention and patient care were evidence of my real friends' esteem, then I have in former days shown myself more friendly than I thought it possible to do. I wish to sincerely thank the interest that was manifested by my attending physicians, my colleagues in the profession, the nurses, Wheatley Provident Hospital attaches and the Old City Hospital from Superintendent down. The beautiful floral offerings of the many anxious friends, came at a time when it was possible to bring the most cheer and expressions of good will. Last but not least, let me thank the Kansas City Sun for its interest in my behalf. As I partially resume my former duties to the care of the sick and wounded, I do so with a heart full of appreciation and a feeling that I owe my friends a debt of gratitude that I can never pay. Gratefully yours, J. E. Perry. Pro-Germanism at Work in Kansas City Veiled Attempts at Stirring Up Racial Enmity Being Promoted by German Sympathizers. SECRET SERVICE MEN ARE INVESTIGATING. The Colored residents and property owners on Park and Olive streets were thrown into a high bit of excitement early in the week by an anonymous letter that was sent to Judge Porterfield of the Circuit Court, and by him turned over to Mr. J. J. Mattjoy, the Colored Juvenile Officer of this county. The letter, which evidently was written by an unlettered and ignorant person, is as follows: Unless the Negroes are not off of Park and Olive streets there will be a great blowup. The people are kicking about them living among the white people. If they are not off by the 1 of August 1 will take my gang of men and blow up ever house that a Negro lives in. You had better get them told to get west of Brooklyn. FROM THE UNKNOWN. The Sun is fully convinced that this is but another form of the insidious German propaganda that an attempt is being made to spread in all of our communities where there is a large number of Negroes, in the hope of creating such feeling between white and Colored people, that both enlistments and war activities will be seriously hampered. This matter has been laid before the United States Secret Service Department and during the meantime the Colored people in that vicinity have made preparations to protect their homes and property, believing that a man's home is his castle and that he has a right to protect it against all illegal invasion. The Negroes could only possess these homes by working hard, saving their money and purchasing them at the white man's price, and now that they have them, which in many cases represent all their earthly possessions, they mean to protect and defend them at his cost. All Mr. "Unknown" has to do is to show his head and act in a suspicious manner and there'll be somebody to inquire as to his purpose. THE LOUD-MOUTHED NEGRO Without question the "loud mouthed Negro" is our greatest handicap. One would think that with increasing education and refining influences this species would diminish, but such is not the case. Sometimes it appears that a little education merely serves to make the mouth bigger and louder. It's a strangely unfortunate condition. Were it not for the loud mouth nearly all of our racial discomfort would disappear. There would be little objection to our residing in whatever quarter of the city we might select and our places of public amusement would no longer be classed as nuisances. Why cannot the really refined colored people form a sort of common consent club and discourage this variety of our misfortune? It is a real misfortune. In every large residence or apartment house there is always to be found a nest of these loud mouths which run fortissimo at all hours of the day and night absolutely regardless of the comfort of anyone else in the building or in neighboring buildings for that matter. They appea rto have no common decency, no common sense. My father who was an ex slave and uneducated used to say that such people were just plain d. f's. and I believe he was right. Then there is the loud mouth heard upon the street all day and all night, just the ebullitions of the shallow pate. The mouth isn't saying anything. It's just keeping people awake and making people despise the whole race. It's just inspiring the dynamiter. Oh, if it would just close up what a blessing it would be to everybody! Why should a person talk loudly enough to be heard a half-mile? Why should the color of a man's skin keep him from being self-respecting and reasonably refined even though not educated? That loud mouth you hear running up on the front end of the street car is doing our race more harm than you can imagine. It is making us a mark of disgust. It is keeping us in the consignment of barbarity. School teachers work on this evil a great deal and are doubtless doing a great deal toward its amelioration. The ministers ought to help more. They rarely touch upon the really tangible things in our lives. They are afraid of hurting the collections and carefully stay upon the reservation of fire and brimstone. The loud mouth is always in evidence at church after the benediction and that's why the presence of a Negro church is objec Kansas City, Mo., July 1, 1918 County Court: We not off of Park and Olive streets up. The people are kicking about white people. If they are not off by my gang of men and blow up ever n. You had better get them told to FROM THE UNKNOWN. And that this is but another form of the that an attempt is being made to spread there is a large number of Negroes, in between white and Colored people, a activities will be seriously hampered. Are the United States Secret Service De- time the Colored people in that vicinity detect their homes and property, believing e and that he has a right to protect it The Negroes could only possess these their money and purchasing them at now that they have them, which in many my possessions, they mean to protect and Mr. "Unknown" has to do is to show his manner and there'll be somebody to in- tionable in certain communities. It's very simple to understand. Let's all get together, work hard on the task and try to influence better conditions. Let each mistress of a home, each custodian of an apartment, each school principal, each minister, each colored policeman, each public spirited citizen use his constant influence against the loud mouth. Then, we shall see results that mean something and that will be permanent. Just so long as we have the big mouth we are going to have a race question. PROMINENT DOCTOR KILLED. Dr. J. M. Davis, one of the race's leading physicians, was shot and killed by Dr. E. T. Butler, another popular Colored physician, at Muskegue this week. A bad feeling had existed between the men for some time, and on Monday they engaged in a fist fight, in which Dr. Butler received the worst of it; this so angered Dr Butler that he went off, secured a shotgun, returned to the office of Dr Davis, and emptied the contents of his gun into the body of Dr. Davis. —Tulsa Star DRAFTEES TO BE GIVEN BIG SEND-OFF A Committee of Citizens met at the office of the Sun Thursday and made arrangements to give the 316 Colored men called for the Draft next Thursday, a rousing send-off. The Second Regiment Band has been secured and a big parade will march from the Paseo Y. M. C. A. to the station in which the various organizations of the City and the Colored people in general, men and women are invited to take part. At 9:00 o'clock in the morning, Prof. Jackson's big Chautauqua chorus of 500 voices will give a patriotic program for half an hour after which five minute addresses will be delivered by Dr. Wm. H. Thomas and Dr. S. W. Bacote, Hon. W. C. Hueston, Hon. C. H. Callawoy. The parade will then form and march down the Paseo to 12th over 12th to Grand, Grand to 11th, 11th to Main, Main to the Union Station from whence their special train will leave at 11:00 o'clock. Everybody is urged to wear or carry a flag. Cone let's give the boys a fitting send-off. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to sincerely thank our many friends for their kindness and sympathy extended us and for the beautiful floral offerings sent to us during the illness and at the death of our daughter, Ora Hackley, who died June 5 and our sister, Mrs. Ethel Barbee who died July 3rd.

The Membership Campaign a Great Success—A Thousand New Members A new lodge of fifty members was instituted Saturday night July 6th, the personnel of which is first class and the new Lodge bids fair to a prosperous and useful career in Kansas City. The following Grand Lodge officers were present and took part in the initiation, which was conducted by Prof. B. F. Adams, G. L. of Missouri, J. P. Maynard, P. G. C., L. A. Knox, Grand Attorney. The organization of the new Lodge—"Onward" 51 is the climax of a membership campaign launched by Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd only a few months ago. This is the third new Lodge instituted by Mr. Lloyd during the present year and certainly attests his ability as an organizer and leader of men. The Pythians of Missouri have made no mistake in keeping at the head of their order this wonderful leader and capable executive—the "Man of the Hour." For eighteen consecutive years Mr. Lloyd has faithfully and successfully lead the Pythians of Missouri, starting with only seventeen lodges with about seven hundred members in 1900. He has, by earnest and enturing efforts, built up the most progressive order in the State—ninety-nine Lodges in good and permanent endowment department prepared to meet every claim and a steady and rapidly increasing "Mortuary Reserve Fund." The "Slogan" has been "Over the Top" and this goal has already been reached with more to follow. Both Mr. Lloyd and Grand Lecturer, B. F. Adams, who are constantly traveling over the jurisdiction, report conditions in every subordinate Lodge as being healthy and promising. The approaching Grand Lodge Session to be held in Sedalia July 23-27, promises to be a "Hummer"—Peace and harmony prevailing everywhere. A large and enthusiastic delegation is expected at this session, which will be called upon to pass upon vital and important legislation for the future good of the order in Missouri. Much credit is due the Kansas City Pythians, prominent among whom were: J. P. Maynard, Chairman, Lily 8; W. T. Meeks, Treasurer of Kay Valley 54; Attrqney J. B. Gibbs, Secretary; Col. Don H. Rife, Assist. Secretary, who have assisted in getting up the new Lodge and also to the "Kansas City Sun" for its liberal and unstinted help in clever and honest mention of Mr. Lloyd's great work and untiring energy in going "Over the Top" in the present membership drive.

The Membership Drive is to continue till the meeting of the Grand Lodge at Sedalia July 23rd. All Lorges are vieing with each other in securing new members. G. C. Lloyd is well pleased with the results, but is working hard for more Pythians. The order today is enjoying a period of prosperity and growth, hitherto unknown. Pythians Patriotic and Much In Demand.

LOUIS "ROTTEN" City Officials and Militia Colonel Condemned for Race Riots. Washington, July 6.—City officials of East St. Louis, Ill., were severely criticized and the conduct of Colonel Tripp, an Illinois national guard officer, was chacterized as represensible, in a report on the East St. Louis race riots of last year, submitted to the house today by Representative Johnson of Kentucky, chairman of the special congressional committee appointed to investigate the outbreaks. The conduct of Colonel Tripp, who was in charge of the troops sent to quell the disturbances, has been called to the attention of Secretary Baker, with the suggestion of a court-martial, Representative Johnson said. "The conduct of the soldiers who were sent to East St. Louis to protect life and property put a blot on that part of Illinois militia that served under Colonel Tripp," the committee reported. Mayor Molliman, city police officials, justices of the peace and minor officials were condemned for alleged failure to enforce the law, and charges were made that the police had connections with gamblers.

Our Nation is engaged in a war for its very existence. To win this war we must save food, grow great crops of foodstuffs and substitute other foods for those most easily shipped to our associates in this war and our own soldiers in France, thousands of whom are men of your own race.

Every Negro man, woman and child can render a definite service by responding to the appeal and instructions of the Food Administration and its representatives. The Negroes have shown themselves loyal and responsive in every national crises. Their greatest opportunity of the present day, to exercise this loyalty, is to help save and grow food. I am confident that they will respond to the suggestions of the Food Administration and thus prove again their patriotism for the winning of this war. treatment this summer.

Therefore, it is impossible to assist him financially without being the recipient of the blessing and giving him pleasant remembrances of his own generosity. ROSEDALE.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. EDITORIAL Three ignorant Alabama Negro soldiers were executed this week for the crime of ravishing a white girl who was overtaken near their encampment. Three white men with ten centuries of educated ancestry and living right here in a vice market overtook an unprotected white girl in this city a few days ago and committed upon her the same offense for which the Negroes died. Now let's treat all alike. Rape is rape. Let's see how the law takes its course. Doc Sears, a Colored man who answered the call for harvest hands issued by the Government, reports that Colored men were bitterly discriminated against in the Kansas wheat fields and many failed to secure employment, especially around Pratt Hutchison, reat Bend and Ellis Shame. The Colored people on Highland Avenue south of 23rd street are making a commendable effort to make their street the most beautiful and best kepet occupied by Colored people in this city. Every household takes pride in trimming their lawns and parkway, in keeping litter and trash out of the street in front of their home and in improving their property fully realizing that all attention and improvements of this kind enhances the value of their property and makes it the most desirable residence location in our city. Let other streets follow. Our many readers will be pleased to know that the Pace & Handy Musical Co., formerly of Memphis, Tenn. on account of the wonderful growth in their business have been compelled to move to larger fields and are now handsomely domiciled in the Gayety Theatre Bldg. on Broadway, New York City. Mr. Pace is best known as the Secretary Treasurer of the Standard Life Insurance Co., and Mr. Handy is one of the most successful and versatile composers of the race. His "Memphis Blues" and "Beal Street Blues" being known throughout the world and The Jazz Band without Handy music simply wouldn't be a Jazz Band. The Sun wishes them success in their new location. Many of their compositions have been placed on the Columbia and Victor records.

Why? —That an old fashioned brother said "if dey will gimme a plenty of old fashioned lasses and no cake" I ain't nevah gwine to want no sugah. Well that'll help some. —That a well known woman went home with a black eye and while her husband was demanding an explanation, the telephone rang and a masculine voice very calmly explained that he was assisting the husband in having the wife keep in the straight and narrow path. —That a certain well known hair dresser was greeted one Saturday morning by a reception room full of men in her establishment. She coolly asked what could be done for them when each produced one of her cards which read "Singing done." She blushed and replied that she thought that the way to spell singeing.

DR. HORTON EXCELS ALL COMPE TITORS. For some time the Sun has been telling the public of this expert Negro Optometrist and that he was really an aristocrat in his line and as further proof of this statement, Dr. Horton permits us to publish the following letter from one of Kansas City's most successful business men, the organizer and promoter of several highly successful business enterprises demonstrating that the white man who makes a specialty of going around alleging to give an expert testing of the eyes of Negroes absolutely failed on this particularly delicate fitting that called for the most careful and expert ability: Kansas City, Mo., July 10, 1918. Dr. I. M. Horton, 1735 Paseo, City. Dear Sir:—I am writing you, not so much for the great good you have done me, but because I believe it my duty to my race, and to the general public, to inform them of the skillful and successful way in which you examined my eyes and fitted my glasses. A person's eyes are about the most delicate and most important members of the body and should, when defective be treated by an expert Optometrist. My eyes have been defective from childhood. They have always been weak. When I was a boy, my father had one of the best Army doctors of Fort Leavenworth treat them. Since I have been grown up I have had some of the best Oculists, Opticians and Optometrists in Boston, Chicago and Kansas City treat and examine them. I am very proud to say that your treatment and four fitting of my glasses has been the most successful of anay. I can see further and better than ever before with your glasses, in face I am really living in a new world. Hoping that you will be permitted to do for others as you have done for me and wishing you the greatest success in your profession, I remain, When the cut-rate eyeglass peddler and the cheap downtown stores have mussed up your eyesight, then see Dr. I. M. Horton, expert in Optometry and the aristocrat among the eye men, white and black. The Doctor REV. J. W. HURSE, D. D.

I used one bottle of this Liniment and was entirely cured, and I feel safe to tell it is the best I must make and it cannot be best. I must say Mackey's Liniment will do all it is recommended to do. JOHN SAULSBERRY, 2414 Highland Ave. Bell East 3757. April 20, 1918. This is to certify that I had Rheumatism very badly, limbs swollen tight, pain intense. I secured a bottle of Mackey's Liniment from Miss Lillian Tooley and after trying, according to directions, found more immobilized relief than in anything else I had tried. MRS. LILLIAN B. SMITH, 2401 Flora Ave. March 21, 1918. Having bought a bottle of Mackey's Liniment of Miss Tooley and tried it for Rheumatism on my son, found it all that was needed. I will recommend it to any one for such troubles or neuralgia. MRS. JONES MARCH My face was swollen from muscularis almighty had the lockjaw. Mackey's Liniment was recommended and I purchased a bottle of Miss Lillian Tooley and had one treatment before bedtime. The next morning I was able to eat with ease. I knew I would need it for any illness. Liniment is required. I always expect to keep a bottl on hand. WILLA M. GLENN Notary Public 1803 E. 18th St. Bell Phone E. 999 A GOOD BUSINESS MOVE. Many Colored people own automobiles in Kansas City and environs. They must be housed in a garage at home or elsewhere; they must be repaired at home or elsewhere. It becomes necessary in case no garage is at the residence and no repair can be done there, to find such a convenience elsewhere. Such an establishment has been opened under new management at 1420 Woodland avenue. The men back of this garage and training school are anxious to give service to the entire public. If you store your car there we want it absolutely safe from harm. If you have your car repaired there, we want it to come out whole and not ruined forever. If you want to learn to drive, we teach you in the easiest, safest, simplest manner. If you own a car bring it to us and we will teach you how to operate it at least expense to yourself. If you desire to buy a car get us to give you expert advice on the purchase. If you want a nice car that looks right to spend an hour or so in these hot evenings and hotter days, call us and we will give you a car that will give you comfort, pleasure and at the same time a modest and dignified appearance. Now we ask the public to give us a fair trial; we are in our infancy but we shall stretch every muscle to give you absolute satisfaction. We want to make our Automobile home and School at 1420 Woodland avenue, a place reliable, well equipped and a credit to the mechanical genius of the race. Help us—Try us—Call upon us now.

C. K. INCOME TAX LAW IS CONSTITUTIONAL SUPREME COURT PASSES ON TWO IMPORTANT PIECES OF LEGISLATION. ONE DECISION IS UNANIMOUS Judge Bond Compliments Lawmakers on Intelligence Displayed in Framing Statute—Three Justices Dissent. Jefferson City. The supreme court, en banc, upheld the validity of both the income tax law and the inheritance tax law, enacted by the legislature in 1917. The vote of the court on the inheritance tax decision was unanimous, but three of the seven judges dissented from the decision sustaining the income tax law. Chief Justice Henry Bond wrote the opinion on the income tax law. Judges Graves, Walker and Blair concurred, and Judges Farris, Woodson and Williams dissented. Judge Graves wrote the opinion in the inheritance tax case. The income tax was brought up for review when the Ludlow-Saylor Wire Co. of St. Louis sought to enjoin City Assessor Louis Wollbrinck from collecting the income tax from that corporation. In summing up the arguments for and against the constitutionality of the act, Judge Bond said: "In the act under review the legislature performed with rare intelligence and fidelity to the trust imposed upon them by the people, an act of present statesmanship, without contravening any of the limitations imposed on their action by the constitution of the state. We therefore hold the act to be valid." Attorneyys for appellant, in opposing the law, argued that it was in conflict with the constitution because it did not lay the tax in proportion to value. Teachers to Be Paid More. The movement to increase wages of Missouri school teachers, headed by State Superintendent of Public Schools Uel W. Lamkin, has produced some results in cities, but in rural districts progress is slow. Lamkin has pointed out that grade teachers can get better wages from government departments at Washington and that many have left the state. Forty-nine instructors and lecturers in the state university receive $900 to $1,600 a year, and 60 professors in the same institution receive from $2,000 to $3,000 a year. Assistants receive very low salaries. Increase Expected. An early decision will be rendered by the public service commission in the applications of the Union Electric Light and Power Co. to increase its rates. This was announced by Chairman William G. Busby. No intimation could be obtained, however, as to what the decision will be. It is thought likely, however, that the commission will grant some increases in rates. Woman Killed by Lightning. Fulton.—Mrs. Bloomer was killed and four men were slightly hurt when struck by lightning during an electrical storm at Mokane. The men were: John F. Taylor, Capt. Moore, Claude Sullens and S. P. Spressman, well known farmers. They were knocked down while repairing a binder in a field. The woman was killed while feeding chickens within sight of several of her children. Springfield Now Dry. Springfield. — The Springfield city council passed an ordinance prohibiting the issuing of liquor licenses after Oct. 1. The ordinance also requires that all saloons shall be closed January 1, 1919, and no intoxicating liquors shall be sold in Springfield after that date. The local Moral Reform Board prepared the ordinance and urged its passage. School Apportionment. The apportionment of school moneys made by State Auditor George E. Hackmann for Missouri schools for the fiscal year beginning July 1 amounts to more than $2,360,000. This is the largest sum ever set aside for the public schools of the state. Lee's Summit.—Official notice was received by the parents of Corporal Robert L. Close of his death in action with the marines on June 6. He was 23 years old, a graduate of Lee's Summit High school and a former student of the Warrensburg Normal, and was a well-known athlete. Callaway Stamp Sales. Fulton.—Gen. M. F. Bell, chairman of the War Savings committee, announced that war stamp sales in Callaway county will aggregate $500,000, which is $25,000 above the quota. Clerks are busy tabulating thousands of cards. The committee is going after numerous slackers among the wealthy men of the county.

Her eyes fluttering open, Susie reciprocated by walloping John playfully in the jaw. This bit of tenderness resulted in John biting Susie on the left hind foot, a display of affection which led Susie to claw two yards of fur off John's spinal column. John was quite willing to let it go at that for the time being. But the love of a woman, once aroused, is a dangerous thing, especially that of a cave lady. "Somebody had better hurry and rescue Johnnie Bear!" shouted a recruit, rushing into Ensign Sharpe's office a few minutes later. "Susie's got him down and is biting and tearing the hide off'n him." Members of the guard dashed into Bear Hollow—but it was too late. Even as they appeared, John rolled out from Susie's claws and lay with glassy eyes staring into the blue heavens. He was dead. A post-mortem examination disclosed the fact that a blood vessel had been ruptured by the excitement. Dumfounded by the result of the unleashing of her affections, Susie was overcome by grief. Last night it was thought she may follow her mate to bear heaven. Mystery of Intoxicated Cows Is Now Explained TROPICO, CAL.-The cows thought it was a perfectly delightful tasting weed. So they ate and ate and ate—and so on. But when the chemists analyzed the milk produced by a certain Tropico dairy company recently and ordered the proprietor arrested as a the gutters in Tropico are level affairs, and if there is enough liquid a good part of it usually runs "every which way." And it so happened that a large quantity of rich yellow liquor settled on the ground where a Tropico dalryman had pastured his cows. And several weeks later the unsuspecting bovines chewed down a number of the tall weeds that so suddenly had sprung up in the pasture. And—also—that is why the milk sold by the Tropico dairy had such a faintly satisfying odor, and taste. Careful investigation of the milk revealed a certain small percentage of alcohol, it is said. The dumfounded cow owner so valiantly protested his innocence of any bootlegging scheme that an investigation of the feed of the cows subsequently was made, resulting in the discovery of the mysterious booze weed. For want of a better name, residents of Tropico have named the weed "Intoxico." The cows have been taken out of the field where the weed was discovered and a careful watch of its growth is being recorded. "Sweethearts' Evening" Proves Great Attraction NEW YORK.—From now on every evening will be "sweethearts' evening" at the new Enlisted Men's club, in the Broadway Congregational tabernacle, at Fifty-sixth street and Broadway. This announcement may be made "What I like best is to talk to a pretty girl," said one khaki-clad young man. "That is what all we fellows like best, only some of us haven't nerve enough to speak it out," he added in confiding to Captain Fearn. The club is open from eleven o'clock in the morning to eleven o'clock at night, and at all times there are older women and men on hand who, in addition to trying to make it pleasant for the soldiers and seamen, will serve as chapelfons. There are four shower baths, and last Saturday 40 men used them. The army men take to water more than the navy men. There are several tables of billiards, and these can be used at any time except during Sunday services. There is a large library. There are 40 small green tables with white tops and green chairs about them. Here, Paris style, meals are served. Dinner is 30 cents and luncheon 25 cents.

The bird does not hesitate to reproduce it in no mild manner. through the airshaft window. Mr. Jasper told the magistrate that he did not trifle with music, and he could hardly recall when the last note was uttered by his lips. The magistrate knows that no parrot, no matter how innocent he may appear tripping about his cage, is limited in its vocabulary. Taking all phases of the case into consideration and resting his judicial head on his arm on the desk, he meditated for a while and finally announced that a parrot with an unlimited vocabulary should not be limited to the confines of a cage and he believed that it would improve the disposition of the parrot if it were allowed the freedom of the Michaelson home.

So they ate and ate and analyzed the milk produced by a certain ordered the proprietor arrested as a bootleger, things began to happen. First of all, Tropico is dry—bone dry. It turned as arid as a sandhill several months ago. And liquor held by the police, taken in confiscation raids, had no place in the Tropico jail. The court ordered it destroyed. Accordingly, the officers of the law took keg after keg of it, knocked out the heads of the barrels, and let the contents of barrels and bottles run down the gutters.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1918 Late Summer Silk Suits I Inexpensive Hats for Little Girls Inexpensive Hats for Little Girls T Those who design suits showed us just how adroit they could be when they managed their early spring offerings of wool. They had to be made of the shortest allowance of goods, but the designers made a virtue of necessity and the conservation of wool worked to the advantage of styles. Later they turned to several new and heavy weaves in silk as a substitute for wool and for midsummer they were able to forget all about saving materials and design suits of taffeta and satin according to their own fancy. These make the last of their offerings; for now they must begin their work for fall. No one could ask for more than they have done this season in giving us variety in styles. In the pretty suit at the left of the picture there returns once more the banished plaited skirt, with four double box plaits, to commend it to the possessor of a slender figure. The short coat boasts side plaits below the waistline, the designer apparently determining to make the most of the privilege of using plaits again. The coat opens over a narrow white vest, the straight pieces at each side of the front having the effect of scarf ends finished with pendent, silkcovered balls. The suit at the right is of black Inexpensive Hat Three little inexpensive hats for the small girl, in the picture above, demonstrate that headwear need not be fine in order to be tasteful. These shapes are well blocked and very simply trimmed with velvet or silk ribbon in narrow widths and good quality. The braids are of the cheaper kind, but they are substantial enough for the short-lived millinery of the little miss who is apt to put their staying qualities to the test. At the left of the group the most popular of shapes for little girls is shown, made of a heavy tuscan braid rather closely woven. It is the natural straw color. Narrow blue satin ribbon is banded about it and finished with a knot at the front, and the hat is lined with blue silk. Very much the same shape is shown at the right, of white milan hemp. Narrow satin ribbon, gathered along one edge, is used to make a band and medallions on the crown. There are three small medallions, one at each side and one at the back, and a larger one at the front. A little blossom is posed, with a bow of the ribbon, at the base of each medallion. In this particular hat the ribbon is light blue satin and the blossom a pink wild rose. The odd hat of fancy braid (in the natural straw color) at the center of the picture is a Chinese inspiration. The curious peak in the crown distinguishes it from other shapes and is reminiscent of coolie hats and turbans with distinguishing buttons at the top. Narrow brown velvet ribbon makes a band with ends crossing at the front, where clusters of little buds are taffetta with a plain, moderately full skirt. Conts pointed at the bottom have proved so graceful that this feature of spring styles is retained in this model. The collar, cut in points that are embroidered, is new. The girdle at the high waistline is extended into points at each side of the back, and these are embroidered also. The sleeves are gathered into flaring cuffs, ornamented with a row of rather large silk-covered buttons. Children's Clothes. There are many serviceable frocks of linen of heavy weave. For some reason, some of the smart children's outfitters have put out an unusual number of linen frocks in yellow and lavender; perhaps because these colors are off the beaten track of children's equipment. We must all have grown a little weary of the incessant pink and blue conventionally selected for little girls a few years and more ago, observes a Paris fashion correspondent. It does seem a little odd to put lavender on a two-year-old, doesn't it? And yet one of the most charming frocks recently shown by a children's dressmaker of note was of white volle, with collars and cuffs of violet organdle finished with loose' coarse buttonholing. ts for Little Girls tacked over the ribbon. It wouldn't be possible to place trimming more simply, and that is what gives childish hate their character. Why should children prefer to write on immaculate walls rather than on writing paper? Because, first, their mothers caution them not to do it, and, second, because the walls are whiter and the writing looks better on them than it does on paper. But the time has come when the mother need fear for the white nursery walls no longer. They can indeed, be changed from a source of irritation to educational purposes by means of a finish which makes them washable. In other words all penil, crayon and pen marks may be washed away. Consequently, the wall surface is as good a place for drawing pictures or making examples as a blackboard. Although the finish is intended primarily for the walls of the nursery, it may be used in the kitchen, living room or other part of the house where children are wont to try out artistic ability on the walls. The finish may be in any one of a number of different shades. For Bargain Blouses Lawn and volles in checks and stripes and flowery designs have been thrown on the remnant counters and are selling for almost nothing. For from 25 cents to $1 enough material for a blouse may be picked up.

Then one day not long ago Mrs. Josephine Jacobs, president of the Aid Association for the Blind of the District of Columbia and head of the home, made a visit and discovered, to her amazement, that every clock and watch in the house was "slow." Some of the inmates explained that "they didn't see any sense in the fool law." Mrs. Jacobs then made a patriotic little speech about saving daylight and how it was helping win the war. With a will every timepiece was turned forward but one. The old fellow with his watch didn't believe in "getting mixed up." The Hoover program of food conservation is closely followed. Nothing is wasted. Victory bread and sugar allowances have come into as much favor with these blind patriots as with everyone else helping to win the war.

GOLDEN TEXT—Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.—John 8:32. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR TRACHERS—Psalms 75:31; 119:9-16; Proverbs 13:13; Isaiah 55:5-11; John 5:39-46-47; Romans 15:4. DEVOTIONAL READING—Psalms 119:9-16, 97-105. 1. Characteristics of God's Word (Ps. 19:7-11). The Psalmist here sets forth six descriptive titles of God's Word, six outstanding qualities, and six resultant effects. FIRST GROUP— 1. Title: "The Law of the Lord" (v. 7). By this is meant the fundamental principles which God as a moral being reveals to the consciences of men as binding upon the soul. 2. Quality: "Perfect" (v. 7). It is free from omissions and re- dundance. It is perfect as a moral code, and it perfectly accomplishes man's salvation. 3. Effect: "Converting the Soul" (v. 7). The practical effect of the law of God is to turn men to God himself, righteousness and holiness. SECOND GROUP— 1. Title: "The Testimony of the Lord" (v. 7). It is the witness which God bears as to his attributes, and against man's sins. 2. Quality: "Sure" (v. 7). It is plain and infallible. We can repose in it our interests for time and eternity. 3. Effect: "Making Wise the Simple" (v. 7). The simple are those who have hum- ble, open and teachable minds. 1. Title: "The Statutes of the Lord" (v. 8). These are the principles or charges which the Lord gives to us all, to fit us to rightly perform the duties which the different relations of life make obligatory upon us. 2. Quality: "Right" (v. 8). They are from the righteous God and are absolutely just and equitable. 3. Effect: "Rejoicing the Heart" (v. 8). The true heart rejoices in justice and equity. FOURTH GROUP— 1. Title: "The Commandment of the Lord" (v. 8). This brings into view the personal God who stands back of his law to enforce its demands—to require obedience to its precepts. 2. Quality: "Pure" (v. 8). It is free from deceit and error. 3. Effect: "Enlightening the Eyes" (v. 8). The effect of God's law is to give man ability, not only to understand his love and salvation, but to be wise as to the things about him. FIFTH GROUP— 1. Title: "The Fear of the Lord" (v. 9). Reading the Word of God produces reverential fear in the heart of the reader. 2. Quality: "Clean" (v. 9). It is not only clean in itself, but sanctifies the heart of those who receive it. 3. Effect: "Enduring Forever" (v.9). The life and relationship founded upon his law ablude forever. SIXTH GROUP— 1. Title: "The Judgments of the Lord" (v.9). By this is meant the sentences pronounced by God's Word. 2. Quality: "True and Righteous" (v.9). The penalties prescribed by God are true, conformable to the intulative moral sense of man. 3. Effect: "Serve as Warnings and Bring Reward" (v.11). If the warnings be heeded, shipwrecks upon life's sea will be prevented. Besides God pays a wage for obedience to his laws. Goddiness is profitable unto all, having the promise of the life that now is, and that which is to come. II. A Notable Example of Bible Study (Acts 8:26-30). 1. Who It Was (v. 27). The Ethiopian eunuch, a man of great authority. He was the secretary of the treasury of the Ethiopian queen. The wisest and best men and women of the earth have been reverent students of the Bible and have testified to its beauty and power. 2. The Circumstances of (v. 28). 2. The Circumstances of (v. 28). It was while traveling that this great man was studying the Bible. This is a most excellent way to improve moments while on a journey. 3. Doing Personal Work (vv. 29-37). Philip was taken from his great evangelistic work in Samaria and directed to go to the desert. The Spirit directed Philip to join himself to the chariot in which the Ethiopian was traveling. Philip ran in obedience to the Spirit's command. One should be alert for the Spirit's direction as for the individual with whom to do personal work. The eunuch was inquiring after the way of life. But still he needed the help of a Spirit-taught man.

Mrs. Annie Holmes, Mingr. 2409 VINE ST., Kansas City, Mo Bell Phone East 4221J Faithful to the call of the General Secretary, Dr. J. C. Caldwell, about fifty ministers and delegates, representing twenty local societies, assembled at Macon, Mo., July 3, for the purpose of bringing into permanent existence a state organization of the Allen Christian Endeavor League. The afternoon of June 3 was spent in registering and getting acquainted, the first regular session being held at 8:30 P. M. when the convention listened to works of welcome delivered by Prof. F. F. Ancell and Hon. Mr. Hughes who came as proxy for the mayor. The feature of the evening was the response by Mrs. Sadie Dimery, the state president, which was a master piece of eloquence. The convention grew in interest and in helpfulness and the second days session was begun with a quiet hour of bible study followed by a school of methods conducted by the General Secretary. A very helpful discussion of the work of the Juniors was given by Mrs. B. E. S. Woods of Hannibal. The main feature of the afternoon session was an address on "Training Ministers," by Rev. J. W. Curry of Jefferson City, while the evening program was made entertaining by a papre on "Training for Effective Service" by W. B. Longdon of Brunswick and a masterful address by Dr. S. E. Maloney of St. Joseph on "A Saloonless Nation by 1920." Friday morning the session was again opened with bible study and a school of methods. A very helpful pa MRS. SADIE E. DIMERY. per, "The Prayer Meeting, Its Place and Power." by Miss Minnie Ross of St. Louis, elicited much discussion. Every phase of the work—"The Quiet Hours," "The Tenth Legion," "The Pledge," "The Committee Work" was brought before the convention by Dr. Caldwell, with profit to all. The closing session Friday evening wa sat once an occasion of eloquence enthusiasm and solemnity. Rev. A. R. Fox of Macon delivered an address "oGd's Call to the Youth of our Church" and Dr. Caldwell made the final address which left all filled with a determination to be the greater service to vio and His cause. The following officers were installed for the ensuing year: Mrs. Sadie Dimery President; Rev. R. R. Fox, First Vice President, Miss Minnie Ross, Second Vice President, Mr. Arthur Johnson Third Vice President, Mrs. W. D. Wilkins, President of the Juniors! Mrs. Lillian Booker, Secretary; Miss Adela Starks Cor. Secretary; W. B. Longdon, reporter. The session was fittingly closed by consecration service conducted by Rev. M. S. Bryant. The discussions by presiding elders, M. C. Buren, P. C. Crews, M. S. Bryant and W. B. Brooks, and the rivalry to excel in enthusiasm between Mason and Keytesville were features of the convention. YOUR GREATEST OPPORTUNITY. Heretofore the Black Man has been compelled to invest his money in White Oil Companies. The Square Deal Oil & Gas Company, which is now a REAL OIL COMPANY, with two real producing Oil Wells, is the first company of its kind in this section of the country organized and incorporated under the Blue-Sky Laws of the State of Missouri; controlled and managed exclusively by Negro Men, to offer such a safe and sound investment. Our company is managed by competent, efficient, successful and progressive young business men—men who have studied and know the oil business; men who ACT rather than talk. NOTICE: The General public of this city and elsewhere are most cordially and sincerely invited at all times to visit and inspect the office and also see the up-to-minute methods in the managing of this first great and successful Negro Oil Company. It is something that we all should be proud of; it is something that you can indiscriminately become a part of; it is something that will do you good.

WHAT CONSTITUIES A LEADER Ralph W. Tyler, Washington, D.C. "A leader," when used as descriptive of Colored men who have gained some notice in the public press, is too frequently but a misnomer. Especially is this true in these days when in the lines of some extravagantly flattering, grandiloquent tribute to a "leader" may be seen the dictation of the "leader" to some pecuniarily ambitious press agent. The "real" leader, and they are few is these days of a verile, unselfish Colored press, is one who has won his spurs by, and through, unselfish devotion to the common people—the "holy middle" and the plodding lowly who "earn their bread by the sweat of their brow." Too frequently do some Colored men, who having gained the acquaintance of some man of importance, and who merely because of that acquaintance, and without any merit or achievement of their own, their own, mistake such acquaintance, and a few invitations to empty social affairs given by aping, spurious, self-assumed "social lights," as the sin quo non for leadership, and proceed to exploit themselves as "leaders." The late Frederick Douglas was a "real" leader because he blazed the way for the common people; because they followed him believing in his sincerity; admiring his heroic defiance of threats and intimidation for having bravely espoused the cause of the common people—the masses. The late Dr. Booker T. Washington was a "real" leader because, coming up from the sweet fragrance of the soil, he labored and wrought, planned and builted, not for himself, but for the masses of his people—those over whom aversity had kept a constant menacing virgil; those who had known naugh but sorrow and deprivation from the day their eyes first opened upon a cruel world to the day manhood and womanhood's estate had presented to them an uninviting, unjust present and future. Both of these men were BORN LEADERS—they were magnetic leaders for whom there was always and ever the enthusiastic applause of the common people for whom they labored, and whom they served with unquestioned fidelity. And it is the "common" people who make up the great majority—they are the Lord's chosen. Lincoln once said he believed God loved the common people best, for he had made more of them than of any other class. DuBois is a "real" leader, because, radical though he be, he has fought the battles for the masses, and that too uncompromisingly. He has not the magnetism of the first two. Personally, he is rather a sort of recluse, but whether you like his personality or not you must agree that he has put up a splendid, a magnificent fight for FULL RIGHTS for his people, hesitating to even compromise by accepting the traditional half loaf when a crum was but the grudging possibility. Emmett J. Scott has developed into a "real" leader because he silently, unselfishly labors to bring to his race the full measure of reward their services, their loyalty and their ability merits. He does not possess the forensic force of a Douglass—the times do not demand it. He does not possess those abnormal attributes with which Booker T. Washington was endowed, and he does not aspire to that radical, as we call it, insistence which is peculiarly DuBoisesque, but he has shown marked leadership, nevertle—a safe, sane man who deftly camouflages radicalism with effective diplomacy that gets results—and results are what we want. Major Moton has demonstrated "real" leadership because he has subordinated self interests to the interests of the masses; because he is striving to serve, to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number, to modestly sow for others to reap. There are many "real" leaders, less pretentious, but none the less earnest, laboring in restricted fields from sun up to sun down, in various fields of endeavor, for the common people of their race. And there are many "accidents," self-assumed "leaders," who because they have, at some time, won a smile from a Washington, from a DuBois or a Scott, in return for their selfishly promoted adulation; their willingness to carry the grip of "the most high," or because they have, at some time, held some petty political office, or because they have weedled themselves into a "society" of doubtful meaning and valueless worth assume they are "leaders" and who are constantly using the plural pronoun "we" for the selfish singular . . ." These are of the common people, BUT NOT FOR the common people. However, the sun of self-assumed "leaders" is nearing the eclipse because of the enlarging field of. our VERILE, DEVOTED, UNSELFISH, COLORED PRESS. More and more is the race beginning to regard the Colored press as the 52-weeks-in-a-year devotee of the common people; the powerful searchlight that shows up the puny, selfish assumed leader; the separator that separates the wheat from the chaff; the binder that binds up the grievances of the race for presentation to the world for correction; the keen-bladed scythe that cuts down these selfish self-assumed leaders whose only goal is political office, and whose only And You are only asked to save and not waste Food BONES 5 DOLLARS JUST BONES! SIDES FOR A SHILLING, A MARKET SCENE IN ENGLAND Everything For Every Lodge. Ask Us. stock in trade is selfishness, and whose chief occupation is setting their salts to catch each passing wind. Unless one is of AND FOR the common people; unless one disassociates his personal aims from the desire of the masses; unless one sticks among the common people, and advocates their cause—actually works for them seven days out of every week—he cannot be considered as a "real" leader, and the splendid Colored press will not accord him a place in its valhalla for patriots. The day is past for the "exclusive;" this is the day for "inclusive," and inclusive means we must get down to the dead level of the common people for the purpose of raising them up to a living perpendicular. A full dress suit may emphasize the fool, but it never proclaims the leader. An invitation to a conclave of mutual admirationists who pose as "society favorites" may delight the puddin-headed recipient, but it never procures for him the acclaim of the dear common people. REV.

A CHRIST SCENE IN ENGLAND THEY WERE SELLING BONES FOR FOOD IN ENGLAND. Over in England at the height of the meat shortage and before the populace was put on rations, they sold bones at the rate of five pounds for one shilling. Policemen regulated long lines of people patiently standing out on the side walks, waiting, not for their favorite matinee idol to pass, but for a chance to enter a food shop and buy a small quantity of food. It takes about three minutes for the shop keepers to dress their windows over there, merely because there are, perhaps, but a few cans of condensed milk and a box or two of corned beef to be displayed. Yet over here in America, bones, hay, even fats and precious scraps of meat are going into the garbage pails!

Gregg, principal of Hampton institute, in laying the corner-stone of the first Kennedy Dormitory for girls, stated that the estimated cost of the building is $65,000; that the plans have been prepared by Messrs. Ludlow and Peabody, New York architects, who designed the Robert C. Ogden Auditorium; that the building is being constructed by the Hampton Institute Trade School; and that the donor is Mrs. John S. Kennedy of New York. Miss Ada C. Baytop, Hampton '93, spoke on the spiritual significance of the building and the problems which colored women are now called upon to face. She said: "How can the Negro woman cope with her new problems? How can she adapt herself to changing conditions? How can she measure up to the new demands? There is only one answer. It is Hampton—Hampton with its thorough method of training the hand, the head, and the heart—Hampton with its beauty and inspiration, its high ideals and efficient service. A CORRECTION. Mrs. W. A.

Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Montgomery, one of the oldest and most respected families of Leavenworth, Kans., have purchased a beautiful 11-room, strictly modern, brick home at 1212 Euclid avenue, for a consideration of $5,500. They are contemplating moving to their new home just as soon as it is vacated. The sale was made by Alfred W. Rivers, the hustling manager of the Square Deal Real Estate and Employment Co., who wishes to say to his many friends and acquaintances that he has many other high class homes, both large and small, in new localities that are being opened to Negroes, and any one wishing to buy at this time should consult him.

Per- haps you read the headlines in some daily paper: “Twenty-Three Kansas City Men Made Million- aires by Black Gold From Eureka Wells,” and the ‘story that followed on how Hale, a former rail- road conductor, made fifteen million dollars. Again, you may have read of the amazing career of Harry St. Clair, who rose trom a drug clerk to multi-millionaire in few short years, and how in only 11 months his Oil interest earned nearly nine and a half million dollars, ‘Then there was the 1914 OIL Co, which paid $57,400.00 for every $100 invested in eighteen months; the Coline Co, which paid $83,000.00 for every $175.00 invested. and the 0 Deall Co., which paid $58,000.00 for $300 investment, There are scores and scores of cases like these in the Oil Fields. It is said, in Tulsa alone, there are 160 Oil millionaires and hundreds who are rich from Oil, ‘The above is what the White man has earned by investing in Oil. These men were in on the ground floor of these Companies. They bought Stock in these companies about the time their first and second wells were brought in. ‘These were white companies, and were principally organized for white men.
