TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE'S EXTENSION ACTIVITIES THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM THE MUSEUM IS A GREAT SITE FOR EXHIBITION AND CONVENTION IT HAS A WIDE AREA OF STORIES AND ARTWORKS IT IS A FAMILY HISTORY MUSEUM AND A GREAT EXHIBITION SITE Scene at the Milbank Agricultural Building. What the School is Doing for Farmers Through Its Various Organizations. Some Results Achieved by Trained Agriculturalists. The demand for trained agricultural workers and teachers has in the past two years become so huge that huskogee Institute has given more attention to the development of this and kinched industries than any other part of its work The work of this department centers in the Milbank Agricultural Hall, which was dedicated last February during the mid winter visit of the Institute's Trustees, and which cost $25,000. The Institution is co-operating with the General Education Board and the United States Department of Agriculture in the operation of Farm Demonstration work. At the present time there are five demonstrators settled in various parts of the South under the general supervision of Mr. Thomas M. Campbell, a graduate of Luskegee Institute, who is himself an employee of the United States Department of Agriculture. As an evidence of what is going on on the farm it may be interesting to know that this year Tuskegee Institute students harvested 12000 bushels of sweet potatoes. The following agricultural industries are taught: Farming, truck gardening, fruit growing care and management of mules and horses, dairy husbandry, dairying, swine raising, beef production and slaughtering and veterinary science. The school owns 2,400 acres, 1,000 of which are under cultivation. It is proposed to raise in the Farming Division as nearly as possible, all the food stuff for the 1,200 head of live stock owned by the school. The Truck Garden, which consists of 50 acres, growing three on four crops a year, raises vegetables for the school and town. On some of its garden land, the school has been able to raise crops valued at from $100 to $400 per acre. In the Fruit Growing Division, 80 acres are devoted to the growing of peaches, pears, plums, figs and strawberries. The Division for the care and management of mules and horses has 154 head of stock under its charge. These animals are used to carry on the work of the farm and to do the other necessary hauling incident to the work of the Institute. The Division of Swine Raising has charge of a herd of 900 swine which are raised by the school for the purpose of supplying meat for the school and for the community surrounding it. The Division of Beef Production and Slaughtering has charge on the beef herd and supplies all the meat for the use of the school. In these different divisions, students have a splendid opportunity to get a practical knowledge of general farming and to obtain experience and training in the use of farm implements and intensive methods of agriculture. The actual work of lushger has for some years grown beyond the limits of TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DEC 30, 1910. the school grounds. Every year sees the amount of this extension work in increased. In its effort to reach and aid the masses outside of and beyond the direct influence of the school room, the Institute has aimed: 1. To change public opinion and turn the attention of the THE NEW YORK TIMES c. 1910 JOHN H. BURKE BCOKER T. WASHINGTON, people in directions where there was hope for them. This has been the work of the Negro Conference and various agencies that have grown up to help complete its work. 2. To educate the people on the soil, encourage better methods of farming and so induce Negro farmers' children to remain on the soil. This had been the work of the Farmers Institute, the Demonstration Farming and the Agricultural Wagon, all of which agencies have gone out from and been directed by the Institute. 3. To extend the work and influence of the school by encouraging the establishment of other schools similar to it, and by keeping in touch with its graduates and former students in order to direct, to some extent, their efforts to improve the communities into which they go. The Annual Negro Conference was started eighteen years ago in February 1891. In that year Principal Booker F. Washington sent out invitations to about seventy-five representative Negroes in Macon County farmers, mechanics, school teachers and ministers. The majority of the men who came to this conference were farmers. Instead of seventy-five, something like four hun- . died responded to this invitation. The success of the first conference has been repeated each year since, and the fame of its annual meetings has extended until Negro farmers come from all over the South to attend them. The need of first-hand knowledge of conditions among the Negro farmers and in the more remote regions of the South brought so many visitors, students and teachers to these conferences that it was finally decided to hold the conference two days, giving the first day to the farmers and the second day to the students and teachers. This has resulted in the division of the work of the Annual Conference into The Farmers' and Workers' Conferences. The Workers' Conference follows the Farmers' Conference, and takes its theme from it. The annual Tuskegee Negro Conference is held now in January, and will be in session next month. January 18th and 19th. A Short Course in Agriculture was started in January, 1904, and is intended to give farmers in the surrounding country, at the season of the year when most of them are idle, of two weeks of practical study and observation of the school farm. This has been increasingly successful. The first year there were but eleven students, and most 10 of them were older men. By 1010, this number had increased to nearly 1,000, and 600 of these were young men and women. The Short Course this session will be ```markdown ``` The image provided is too blurry and pixelated to accurately recognize any text or graphics.

The extension work of the school also extends to other activities. For example, the National Negro Business League, which was organized in Boston in 1900, has its headquarters at Tuskegee Institute, and is closely associated with the work that the school is seeking to do for the Negro race. As an indication of the growth of this organization, since the League was started more than thirty-five Negro banks have started and nearly 400 local business leagues have been formed in various parts of the country and the West Indies. Askle from the activities already mentioned, there is the Negro County Fair, the Jessup Agricultural Wagon, the Macon County Ministers' Institute, the Farmers Institute, the Tuskegee Town Night School, all of which aim to reach out for the elevation of the Negro. One of the best services which the Tuskegee Institute in connection with such institutions as Hampton and others can render is to make plain the fact that industrial education not only has an economic and moral value, but has a mental-or mind training value that is of great importance in the helping of the race. EMPORIA. KAN. The oratorical contest which was held here December 22, was undoubtedly the best event of its kind ever held here. It consisted of the best local talent and visiting Normal students.

The judges (will being white (except one) were: Attorney Stillwell, Miss Marshland on the Location dept. of the K. S. N. Mrs. Cloud, Mrs. Marshland and Miss Rosetta Column. The gold medal which was a biennial and expensive present, was awarded to Miss Lillian Evans, a K. S. N. student of Kansas City. The medal was presented to her by Rev. Dr. Gibson after an appropriate extemporaneous speech by him. The second and third honors were bestowed upon Miss George Rogers of this city, and Miss Rose Hutcherson, respectively. Mrs. L. L.

Young and wife; also Mr. W. H. West is spending a few days with Dr. Young. The Christmas Cantata given at St. Luke A. M. R. Church, Sunday night, by the choir, under the supervision of Theo. Copeland, was very gratifying to an appreciative audience, who were delighted from start to finish. The paper by Mrs. Hughes was exceptionally good. A few persons in Lawrence were favored with an invitation to an afternoon chocolate by Choman Circle, Thursday, Dec. 29, 1910, at the residence of Miss Nellie Thomas, 1223 Woodland, K.

We need more farmers, which is the most accessible class for the race to enter at this time--more so than any other business we know of. Let the memoers of the race combine their earnings and open small shoe stores, and five and ten cent stores. There are plenty of opportunities for the colored man in America if he would only take advantage of the openings which confront him. There are too many pretentious, selfconceited people of the race, who would succeed if they would come out in the openings and be square with everybody. Turn over a new leaf, help strengthen the cause of the race by getting into business. Combine your wealth. You can't succeed unless you do. That is the secret of the success of the white man. We are glad to say that Booker T. Washington will go down in history as one of the leading Industrial Educators of the world, and we do hope the white man's history which is used in our public schools, will some day be manly enough to chronicle him as such. that all future generations and races may use him as a beacon light. --- AND what's the matter with Hadley? Hadley used to be a Kansan, and we were proud of him, but somehow or other Hadley seems to have been converted to the Missouri ways. In the selection of a school for incorrigible Negro girls, it does not seem that Governor Hadley has come clean with his Negro friends. The legislature of Missouri has appropriated the money and given authority to locate the school, a committee has been appointed to select a site and locate the institution and have reported. Nothing is left to be done but have the Governor endorse the proportion and order the work on the building. The Governor seems to have a personal feeling in the matter, which makes him stubborn to carry out the plans of the legislation. OUR CIRCULATION IN OKLAHOMA. The circulation of The Plaindealer in Oklahoma has reached to date 4,090, which makes us the paper with the circulation—the paper which reaches the people. To accomplish this result has cost us considerable in time and money. The Plaindealer has kept a force continually at work in Oklahoma during the past four years, and we are proud of the results. Our plans for the future will be directed more towards a free use of printer's ink than towards securing more readers, and during the coming year our representatives will do the cities of Oklahoma with camera and writers, wish a view of giving to our readers a knowledge of conditions as they really exist in Oklahoma. In announcing his candidacy for the nomination as mayor of the city of Topeka, at the primaries next spring, Mr. Samuel E Lux, the well known commission merchant of this city, places himself before the people as a business candidate, pledging himself to the business interests of the city more than politics. The record of Mr. Lux as a citizen and merchant of Topeka in the past, is sufficient evidence that he will do everything along this line that he has or will pledge himself to do, for Mr. Lux is a business man above all else. He is one of the live boosters for Topeka, and loves to be into every movement that has tor its motive the expansion of Topeka's interests and the development of Topeka as a trade center. Those who have studied conditions in this section in direction to Topeka, will find that there are thousands of dollars in business in Kansas and Oklahoma which would come into Topeka in the proper efforts were made to induce this trade, which goes into St. Joseph, Kansas City, Joplin and Wichita. The administration of the affairs of the city in the hands of wide-awake and aggressive men, whose acquaintance with the methods which have made the greater cities of the West, is sure to bring our city in her due of prominence for the trade of the Southwest, which rightfully belongs to Topeka. Mr. Lux is one of the townbuilders of this city and the people will appreciate his past efforts and his ability to do the things which the city needs, by nominating him for the office of mayor of Topeka. His acquaintance with the farmers and country people especially recommends him, since that class of people are the ones who feel a greater interest in the city and who cover a range extending to the line of Texas on the South. Locally, there is work for a progressive mayor to do. Topeka is a great city, a beautiful city, whose wealth gives her a rank among the desirable places of her class for investment for business and residence. In the hands of the right kind of men and under the leadership of progressive and aggressive men, Topeka will continue to grow in size, wealth and beauty. Mr. Lux is the logical nominee for mayor, and it elected would carry out a policy that would be to the credit of the city In the Court of Topeka, in the city of Topeka, Shawnee County, Kansas.

J. H. MORGAN, District Deputy of the Knights and Ladies of Security. The subject of this sketch, Mr. J. H. Morgan, is a native of Kentucky, and has lived in the West during the past eleven years, a few years of which time he spent in Nebraska. Mr. Morgan was born upon a farm and has followed those habits of temperance which have characterized those who have had quiet and careful parents. He was educated at Boren college. He served as clerk of the circuit court of Laelle county, Kentucky, and was admitted to the Kentucky bar in 1908. He is now with the Knights and Ladies of Security, one of the largest fraternal insurance societies in the state and has written over $5,700 in policies during the past year. He travels in Kansas and Missouri, as his district deputy, under Ed Shelleenberger, who is district manager. Mr. Morgan is a bachelor and thirty five years of age. Referring to the complaint of Insurance Commissioner Barnes, who claims that fraternal organizations are writing inurance too cheap, he says that the commissioner is mistaken; that the people not be alarmed, as the rates or the Knights and Ladies of Security will not be raised. He states that everything of this organization is written upon a basis of the expectancy of life, and that Mr. Barnes failed to state what it cost to produce insurance up to that stage and that the lapses which are turned into the reserve, bring the fraternal insurance of the Knights and Ladies of Security up with the "old line" companies, at much less cost to the policy holder, who shares in the profits. Mr. Morgan is one of the best fraternal organizers in the West. He is a young man, full of vim and push and will make great success with the order he represents. Coffeyville, Kans. Coffeyville, Kans. T. D. Bradford. Farmar and Business Maa. Visitors to Coffeyville will find the Manhattan Cafe among the best hostelries in the city, where everything in its season can be had at all times and served in first class style. The Manhattan is located at the corner of Twelfth and Walnut streets and is convenient to all lines of street care, and in the heart of the business district of Coffeyville. This business is managed by Mr. F. D. Brad and one of the prominent citizens of this section, who spares no pains to make his place the best to be found in the city Mr. Bradford is best known as one of the progressive farmers of Oklahoma and owns considerable agricultural land in and around the town of Noxie, eight miles south of Coffeyville. Close to the oil fields that have made Oklahoma world famous. The family owns the building in which he conducts the business of the Manhattan Case, which is very desirable city property, and which was formerly occupied by the Tennessee drug store. He has a family of eight children, five girls and three boys, who assist him in various ways in his business, all of whom have lands of their own near Noxie. Mr. Bradford opened his cafe for the reason that he felt the Negro element demanded a place where they might be obtained first class service, as an inducement to make Coffeyville a convenient place to visit, and stop over between trains. He is highly pleased with the patronage the place has received and from time to time he intends to add every detail necessary to keep the Manhattan up to the very highest standard of excellence. Mr. W. E. Miller, son-in-law, is steward of the Manhattan and in many ways assistant to the management of this popular hostel. Tulsa, Okla. Barney Cleaver, Police Officer. The subject of this sketch was born in the state of Virginia, dawing the month of January, 1866. His father and mother were well known and highly respected citizens of Newburn, and for his time and opportunities Mr. Cleaver, Sr., was considered a man of more than an ordinary judgment and common sense. In the spring of 1880 Barney decided to start out in life for himself, so that without consulting the wishes of his father or friends, he struck out upon his own responsibility, taking his first employment on the "Virgie Lee", a steamboat running on the Ohio river, between Charleston W. Va., and Cincinnati, O. Here he worked until 1883. Leaving there he followed mining and working in the secret service from then until he accepted a position in the city of Fulsa. Mr. Cleaver has spent a number of years in the state of Oklahoma, during which time he has served as deputy U. S. Marshall under Captain Grady, in the Choc'aw N. tion, and did special service through out the mining districts. During the year 1907 Mr. Cleaver was appointed police under Chief of Police Walker. About the same time h was appointed deputy to Sheriff Newblock, both of which offices he now holds, and with credit to him, self and the organization. He worked under the administration of High Thompson, a non-partisan administration, and served with M. H. HARNAT C.I. KAVEN. o edit to the administration. During the Democratic administration, under Chief Cor cluse, Mr Clever was dismissed to make place for a Negro named Jake Dillard, for political purposes, but the ap, once failed to make good and Mr. Clever was asked to accept reappointment, which he did and has served continuously ever since. Mr. Cleaver is known in Tulsa as a good officer, thoroughly alert to his duty. He has the respect and confidence of the business men of the city and has a future full of promise. In conversation with Mr Cleaver we asked concerning the treatment he received from the officials generally, in his capacity as an officer. "I have to say for my chief and Mayor Martin, in particular, that I have served them the best I know and I am sure they appreciate my efforts. Their treatment of me, in every way, is all that I could ask. They are my friends and give me credit stricly according to my work." Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Holm, of Emporia, were pleasant and profitable calless at the Plaindealer of doe Thursday. They are in the city visiting Salends and taking a holiday vacation. The strong bank of this section of the country is the First National Bank of Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a capital stock of $150,000, surplus $25,000, undivided profits $10,194.12, circulation $125,000 and deposits $753,252.12, representing $1,068,446.24 in liabilities. These figures should look good to those who have business to transmit along banking lines in this section of the state. Those who have business to transmit in the interest of their clients who have interests in the oil properties of this section will find in the First National Bank that closer of an institution which is able to take care of their interests and furnish a safe depository for the funds of miners and others who need a safe institution in which to place their funds. This bank is the oldest bank in the county, is the U. S depository and is the depository and reserve agent for state banks, also the depository for county and city funds. This bank carries the deposites of 2,400 people and their banking house is one of the prominent and well appointed buildings in the city. The officers of this bank are as follows: J. W. Orr, president; J. B. Slimmone, vice-president; M. F. Knight, vice-president; and W. E. Gordon, cashier. These gentlemen are among the strongest Tulsa boosters, and in keeping with the progressive spirit which has made this a great bank, these gentlemen are awake to every movement that tends to make Tulsa a greater city, financially or otherwise. Ages. the Clothler. The big clothing store of Tulsa is The Agee. This store keeps on hand, at all times, the largest assortment of men's clothing, shoes, furnishing goods, suit cases, hats, etc., of any store in the city. Their store room is crowded from top to bottom with their lines in complete assortment in quality and price. Their trade is the class of people who appreciate quality and closure in goods and their lines of clothing, shoes and traveller's accessories, are as fine and as complete as can be found in the cities of the other states. Mr. Lee Agee, the proprietor, is a thorough business man and the strongest evidence of the fact is attested by the class of goods he carries, coupled with the very courteous treatment that every customer receives in this store. The Agee is not only the big store but the busy store. We have had occasion to have dealings with this house and we take pleasure in saying that we have never, in the large cities of the East, received better treatment than we have done at this store and we take pleasure in saying that the people of Tulsa have a real, live cloister, in the person of Mr. Agee, in his "Agee" store, who gives full value for the money and at prices that compare with those of the cities. TOPEKA HAPPENINGS "The Jolly Twenty" club, but recently organized by a set of Topeka's best young ladies, entertained about one hundred of their friends last Wednesday night, at Metropolitan hall. The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and one of the most novel features of the decoration was the Christmas tree in the center of the hall, which was illuminated by incandescent lights. Some of the most beautiful gowns ever worn in Topeka, were in evidence that evening and all present enjoyed themselves to the top notch, and entertain a lively hope that the Jolly Twenty will entertain good again.
