Chief Griffin, of Kansas City, Mo., ought to resign if he cannot locate the party or parties who are dynamiting the homes of honest, hardworking colored people simply because they live in a district where a lot of poor white scalywsgs dwell in rented houses. No decent, respectable white man would resort to such a method. He would move out first and buy where no people could get close to them unless they had wealth We believe that a Chief Griffin wants to capture these outlaws he should start on W. N. Casey and give him a thorough sweating. In fact a few of the underworld among the whites in the Tenth ward could reveal the identity of the guilty persons Floyd Jacobs an assistant prosecutor seems to be interested. He has been South and returned to see what trouble he could make for the colored people in Kansas City by comparing things in the uncivilized south with those in the North. What Floyd and his gang needs to do is go somewhere else and buy it the colored property owners are keeping prices down or buy them all out if the crowd can borrow the money, but from the sound of the talk made by the gang at Posey's hall they can scarcely live. We think the leaders of the crowd had better examine their dust history before becoming too severe on the colored brother; they may discover a mixture of the races that they were not looking for, at least we may find it for them We must compliment Chief Griffin for not giving encouragement to the officers who came around with hypocritical intention. This has been going on for more than a year and the officers have not made the least attempt to apprehend the perpetrators. It would be wise for the property owners to look out for themselves. MEMORIAL DAY. Decoration Day is one that should fill every true American with love and kindness. The memory of the past should compell us to reverence and respect the laws of our country and the Old Boys in blue who offered their lives for this very cause, and they commemorate this day as a reminder for generations to follow. How one man can cry down another because he is of a different hue or color is more than we can comprehend—especially when the war between the states was fought on the lines that all is on duty the freedom of the government alike All honor and glory to the Old Boys in blue people of Solown county will for ever cherish the union of A. T. (Bert) Lucas and just be swayed to rise work and fellow and fellow Shawnee c. two terms as sheriff, and at the time of his death was engaged in the real estate business. He stood high in the ranks of the Republican party and was considered to be one of the best campaign engi- neers in Shawnee county. He is survived by a loving and devoted wife, daughter and an aged father and mother and a host of warm friends. The Out Look foray contains the beginning of a series of articles by Booker T. Washington on life and labor in the continent. He visited several places of importance where he studied labor conditions. His first stop was at Prague Bohemia, a country where the struggle is similar to that of the American Negro slave and except the execution of laws which are equally interpreted. He found the average Bohemian woman living in a two room house and working for less than the American who performs the same class of work. We think there is much food for thought in the first article and will be of great benefit to the American laborers. The white American laborer will be able to see that it is better to join hands with his colored worker and lift him above the foreigner who will sit time if allowed to continue, migrate to America in great numbers, cheapen our labor and reduce all to mere serfdom.

It is with feeling of sorrow that we choral the denounce of Carl Winslow, which commend Thursday, April 27th, 1911 at the residence of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Winslow, north west of town. Carl was 14 years of age at his death. He died of a compulsion of lice, but was still only a short time.

When a negro opens a place of business and draws the line hums it, placing the negro at one end of the building and that the rear end, and the white people in front, this negro should not have the support of other negroes. They should go elsewhere to buy and eat. Dr. Allison says he did $20,000 worth of charity work last month. God bless a cheerful girl. Mrs. J. W.

Secondly, you buy in an old and well established community, an educational centre, a social center in a Negro town, close to railroad and only fourteen miles from the city of Guthrie, where factories, warehouses and mercantile institutions are an inducement for large investors.

The Most Liberal Langston is one of the oldest Negro towns in the United States Its history dates back to the opeding of Oklahoma to settlement. The town is very beautifully located in a high and healthy elevation with an abundance of good water and a good public telephone system owned and operated by a local company. There are excellent schools and churches, established business houses and everything established that would encourage progressive Negro to make a home there.

WATER FOUNTAIN FOR CHICKS Bottle Arranged as Shown in Illustration Furnishes Little Follows Drinking Place. The Illustration shows a drinking fountain for little chicks. It can be constructed by anyone who can drive nails and saw off a board square, writes Syvanus Van Aken in the Orange Judd Farmer.

CURE FOR EGG EATING HABIT Feed and Care Is Only Remedy—An range Nests in Dark Corner So Eggs Cannot Be Seen. In answering the query, "how can one prevent hens from eating their eggs," the Farm, Stock and Home makes the following reply: This habit is usually acquired by fowls that are closely confined during the winter months, or are kept in small yards. The fowls long for something to eat that they do not have, and eggs on the floor or in open nests seem to supply the deficiency. You cannot cure them of this habit by any form of punishment. Feed and care for them in such a way that they will lose all desire to eat the eggs, if possible to do so. Arrange their nests in dark corners of the NEST ENTRANCE Nest In Dark Corner. poultry house so that they cannot see the eggs. As a rule they quit the habit of their own accord just as soon as spring comes and they have the run of the farm. A dark nest can be easily made from a good sized box by partitioning off as per diagram. Preserving Eggs. Daub a little vaseline all over the egg, being careful to cover every part, then keep it in a cool place. It will keep for months in good condition, and come out nearly as good as new laid, says the Cultivator. Or warm the vaseline until liquid and roll the egg around in it, being sure every spot of the shell has been touched by the oil. A five-cent bottle of vaseline will coat at least five dozen, and probably more eggs POULTRY NOTES If you think of buying stock get the best. Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk The first feed for young chicks should be water and fine grit. Geese are essentially grazers, and give very little trouble to rear. Skim milk is one of the best feeds for laying hens at any season. When chicks get hungry do not withhold feed because a certain time has not elapsed. Bear in mind in poultry raising that cleanliness is one of the necessary factors for success. Allow mature chickens as well as chicks to forage on grass or clover as much as possible in spring. Age does not impair a capon as it does a cockerel, provided the bird is not kept longer than a year and a half. After the chicks are four or five weeks old whole wheat may be given to them, and perhaps no other grain is better. Tame hens are better layers than wild ones, and any hen can be kept tame and quiet if she is properly treated. Geese after being fully feathered require little more than a good roomy pasture where they can and plenty of grass. The most notable growth of the duck is between the third and fourth week of its age, when it often doubles its weight. Cover the floors with fine sand and have a box in a corner of the hen house, where the sun can pour on it, well filled with dry road dust. A Voice from the South.

While I have no definite excuse to offer further than negligence, I hope you yiuu not think for a moment that I have not enjoyed my home paper, and appreciated your faithfulness in sending it. Inclosed you will find money order for $300. If this not correct, you will do me a favor to send me a statement of my account. I am enjoying life in old Virginia very much. The climate here is delightful, and the scenery the most beautiful I have ever seen. Both my wife and myself are still busily engaged in teaching the young idea how to shoot. The educational sentiment down this way is very high. Parents send their children to school at almost any cost, consequently the schools are very crowded. Notwithstanding this fact there is a movement on foot for compulsory education. A very modern eight-room brick building has just been completed in the city for col red chil dren. W. E.

The judge firmly believed that a man who received the paper, although he never subscribed for it, is entitled to pay. James Thompson moved, and William Robinson took immediate possession, and received and accepted a weekly newspaper that was delivered to him through the mail every week. The good, mature editor sent accounts frequently, but no attention was paid to them by Mr. Robinson. Finally there was a day of rechoming. Robinson had received the paper for some time, he informed the collector, but he said that he never subscribed and declined to pay for it. The judge personally questioned the defendant, who said that he read and made use of it and was receiving the accounts, which were frequently enclosed in the paper. Judgment was rendered in favor of the newspaper. The judge was severe in his criticism of people who are receiving papers and do not think it worth while to pay for what they receive and make use of it as an act of dishonesty, he said one should acquaint the publisher and pay for what numbers he receives.

GUTHRIE The Mecca of Negro Education, Culture and Refinement...Manager Griffln Writes Entertainly of Educational and Business Matters. Since the establishment of the Negro schools of Guthrie, the cities have been able to point with pride to the work done by their schools, which have always been up to the standards of the best schools of the cities of old states. It has been the ambition of the Negroes of Guthrie to give their children the best advantages possible in the way of education and instruction, in consequence of which the families of Guthrie know that they have the smallest percent. In territory of any host of states, the United States. There are a few of the young Negroes of Guthrie who are only real students but who actual patients of the treatment and treatment of our literature. On this account they are in the proud place for ourselves and in much to the advantage. collectively and in daily for the service they have rendered the command. They have been extremely loyal in the service and the very best work possible without complaint, for that they have a place upon them which demands more than a mere service to satisfy a duty they are required to earn so cordling to certain works so hard down by their experience authority. Personally they have it a responsibility for the execution work of the destiny of the men and women of the race who have been entrusted to their charge and this responsibility they have carried out with a jalousie interest to make their work greater a comparison, not alone with the state of Oklahoma but with the best work done in the schools of the country. And they have succeeded with the ardor which comes not stony iron, the parents of the children who have gone out from their mother or more noticeably from the child from themselves who are usually better judges of service than the parents. It was to pleasure of the President to visit the schools during the coming week and see the actual demonstrations of the work done in the city which the train took place upon question for the benefit of those who were interested in school work to come out and see for themselves what is being done. The demonstrations were excellent. The ordinary program to be held was in imping and silent would take an entire hour that it is program in long education. We do not wonder at the people of God we are proud of the schools and their teachers we are not disappointed that we work of their oppressors. it is a picture in motion the work of Mrs. S. Windsor Wright, the supervisor of music and drawing in the and schools of College, whose work by students in her department is on exhibit here and in the auditorium of the high school. It is a delight that been accomplished with pride, and the gradual steps it has progressed of work from the experiment of "mudbell" in a and angles to the beautiful hard coaper and corrugated drawings from the conceptions of "advanced pupila. Mrs. Wright has demonstrated in her exhibition its ability which comes only to the born artists and which is dispensed to the student only as she absorbs the conceptions of the master. Mrs. Wright is a member of one the oldest families in the city and has taught in the world during the past five years. Her promotion to the place she now holds is due to a recognition of meritorious service. She has held the present position during the past two years and dur. ing that time she has given, no would be expected, the most suitable factory service. Two years in the work, it should be remembered, is only a start in the arrangement for an art department, but with proper encouragement the work of this department will be among the strongest features of the public of Gothene. When a fair demonstration of the influence of music in art have been made and the people of the city of retiring and time upon the minds of the youth who are just moulding character, the advantage of higher class will appear, the fact that these branches are just as essential as the higher classes in the colleges and universities. It is to be hoped that the work already begun by Mrs. Wright will just be hindered but will be kept up to the high standard which it has attained and that only the very best silent obtainable will be used in that department. 1. B. PROF. G. F. PERRY, Principal Lincoln High School, Guthrie, has the distinction of being at the head of a school that has won by actu ment a standing as being one of the best in the country regard less of color. Prof Perry has carefully selected his force of assistants and has thereby a working force that has made the Negro schools of Guthrie recognized as fully up to present day standards and the pride of the citizens of the community. The schools of Guthrie are among the oldest in the new state and have always had a reputation of being in charge of the best teachers to be had in the race; but Prof Perry has gone a step further than any teacher of previous time, in that he has been placed under a system which puts the grading of the pupils of the higher grades under the inspection of the county superintendent, who examines them and grades their work according to the standards which regulate the white schools. Recently an examination was held for eighth grade pupils and under the inspection of the county superintendent, Miss Beanie Capera, a pupil in the room of Miss Aurora Perry, daughter of Prof. Perry, passed an examination which gave her standing at the highest in the city and the second highest in the county of either white or colored Prof Perry came to Guthrie in the fall of 1905, from Carthage, Mo., at which place he had taught during the six years preceding his call to Guthrie. He was principal of the colored schools at Higginsville, Mo., for sixteen years. After coming to Guthrie he acted as assistant principal for two years before being pr moted to the place of principal while he now noble. During his stay here Prof Perry has made many friends among all classes of people, who recognize his ability as a teacher and who feel that in him they have the man who will till every demand for a school system that will be a credit to the community. The work of Prof. Perry is plain to be seen evidenced in the conduct and general department of the younger set of the city. No better behaved young people are to be found anywhere than upon the streets of Guthrie. With this condition existing, a better feeling seems to be growing between the rivers, which is a flattering reward for educational methods well spent and carefully applaud. DR HORACE W (ONRAD) of future is one of the foremost Ne- gro physicians of the state and his done more to advance the profes- sion among colored doctors than any other man in the state. His practice is the largest of any Negro in the West and he is constantly called to all parts of the state to handle complicated cases in medicine and surgery, many of which he is unable to attend. Dr. Conrad is a native of the state of Ohio, and studied in the schools of Cincinnati and Louisville, graduating from the Louisville National Medical college and the Medical College at Cincinnati. His first practice was in the state of Kentucky in the city of Paris. Leaving there in 1904, he came to Oklahoma and located at Perry, where he practiced nearly two years before coming to Guthrie, eight years ago, where he has been in active work since. Three years ago Dr. Conrad instituted the master training school at Langston University as a feature of the industrial course that school and has been successful from the beginning. The department has one of the most complete courses to be offered in its institute and supports a hospital at its beds, which is used for the treatment of patient students of the school, and as a facilities will allow for the convenience of the people in the neighborhood of the school. Dr. Conrad is a member of the leading secret societies and is an eminent knight in the order of the Knights of Pythias and a member of the Supreme Lodge. Dr. Conrad is elevated to his profession and takes part in politics, public affairs other than law, in the ordinary citizen and in many higher with all the people of the community. Dr. Conrad resigned the office he held with the Langston school in order to attend to his increasing practice and hence forth he can be found at his office 117 South Second street. He owns considerable valuable realty including a beautiful residence on East Grant avenue. HON WM H HARRISON, attorney and counsellor at law, is an example of the possibilities in this new state for a young man possessed with the qualities which go to make a successful professional man, with ability and pluck behind the individual. Mr. Harrison is one of the leading men in his profession in Oklahoma and an acknowledged leader of the race in all matters in which they are concerned. This confidence of the people he has earned by carefully making his way step by step with the growth of the country and the influx of the Negro population into the new state. His record is that of a clean public, honorable in all his dealings and a constant student of the affairs of the country generally, which affect the Negro. He came into Oklahoma a few years ago, a young man who had just came out of school, where he had made his showing through his own perseverance and ambition to make his mark in the world—a self-made man in every way. He had had none of the intelligence of parents who were able to support him through school but was forced to make his own way to best he could until he secured his diploma from college. He had no trouble in passing the required examination and was admitted to practice before the courts of the state. From that date, he has made Oklahoma and Oklahoma City his home, mixing freely in the affairs that have made the history of the state during his time. Mr. Harrison was born in Clay County, Mississippi, upon a farm was educated at Roger.Williams University, Nashville, Tenn., after which he took a post graduate graduate course in Chicago University. He studied law at Walden University, graduating from that in 1902. For four years, before graduating from the law department of Walden, he taught higher mathematics at Roger.Williams University. In September, 1902, he was all mutted to practice law in Oklahoma, and from the beginning his success has been phenomenal. His record as a lawyer is unquelled in the Southwest, and his superior ability is recognized throughout the United States. As a criminal lawyer he is making a reputation that places him among the very best, in the state, and each case he handles only adds new honor to his already established reputation, in that line. He is the legal counsel for the National Baptist Convention, the largest body of Negroes in the United States, perhaps in the world. He is the leading counsel in the famous "Jim Crow" case, wherein the Negroes of the state of Oklahoma are suing the state of Oklahoma in order that they may get their rights out of which they were deprived in the passage of the Jim Crow legislation, in the first legislature of the new state. The case is now in the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Harrison has others in the Baum Building Oklahoma City, which are beautifully and conspicuously furnished with everything which might be desired for the comfort and convenience of travel in his province, including a library worth $20,000. He is an active out worker and was chosen to agree to the Economical Congress with him at Kolonel, N. of India. He is not accumulated in profitable property some of which is in the hands for the sections of the city, and from which he collects good rentable to a rural man and has a family of two children, who are intelligent and interesting. Mr. Harrison is a young man with a bright future before him. He is a well-respected worker and an aggressive argument, the elements of a successfulenter, which he is amongst his people. In his hometown, Mr. Harrison is regarded as being the class and kind man who sociality appeals to the company of the best people and he is respected for his intelligence and ability as a professional man of the highest rank.

In reply to a query as to the best method of ridding a field infested with the infurious little Hessian fly the Wallacos' Farmer makes the following reply: The Hessian fly severely damaged much winter wheat into last fall, but the pest is not yet done with its evil work. These brown objects which our correspondent wrongfully calls eggs will turn into little black filas about one tenth of an inch long, resembling small mosquitoes. They will lay more eggs on the wheat, and the muggots which come out of these eggs will, by hatching into the straw, cause further damage. They weaken the straw and cause it to fall ever What can we do with a field in fosted with heather in fly? If the infestation is slight, and but few of the plants are killed, we would let the ground stay in wheat, trusting that the wheat will grow out sufficiently. Hesslan Fly (Much Enlarged.) to make a good stand, and that the weather and parasitic enemies will reduce the number of flies and maggots of the next brood. If the damage is heavy, however, and practically all the plants are infested and half or two thirds of them are killed, we would probably plow up the crop and plant to oats or any crop other than wheat. Dry weather is unfavorable to the development of the little brown objects called flavocoids, which later develop into flies. It may be, therefore, if the spring continues dry, there will not be much harm from the spring brood or maggots. In most cases of very heavy infestation of wheat by the fly, and where it is desired to get the ground down to clover, we would be inclined to disk at the earliest possible moment, and seed to oats and clover. If our correspondent seeds to wheat again in the fall he would very likely be troubled again with Hessian fly unless he plowell the stubble under or burned it off immediately after taking off the present wheat crop. Even then he might be troubled with flies coming in from adjacent fields. To prevent Hessian fly damage, rotate crops Hessian fly does not hurt any small grain to any extent except wheat. Late fall seeding also helps to prevent injury. AMERICAN POTATO IS BARRED Shortage of French Crop Being Filled by Importations From Other European Countries. (By CONSUL GENERAL F. H MASON.) The shortage in the French potato crop has created a deficit which is being filled by large importations from other European countries, notably Great Britain, Austria, German and Belgium Importations of potatoes from the United States to France had been prohibited since the decree of 1875, which was inspired by fear of the Colorado potato bug, until that decree was annulled on October 15, 1910, opening the French markets to potatoes from the United States, provided they are clean, free from the soil in which they were grown, and the packages in which they are shipped contain no stems or leaves of the potato plant. As a result of this long prohibition American potatoes are practically unknown in France, and French importers have no acquaintance or established relations with American exporters which would enable the trade to be promptly taken up since the withdrawal of the prohibitory decree. Partly for this reason, and partly because many French people have still a lingering dread of some possible disease in American potatoes and do not even know that the prohibition against them has been withdrawn, they have not yet appeared in any appreciable quantity on the Paris market. Crop Rotation. Crop rotation, in which the legumes, such as cow peas, soy beans, vetch and the clovers, have a prominent place, will build up the soil and place an unprofitable farm upon a paying basis. Plan a rotation that will improve the fertility of the soil, and at the same time keep up the income from the farm. This is progressive agriculture. SUPPORT FOR WAGON TONGUE Iron Rods Arranged to Strengthen Downward and Side Movements to Prevent Accidents. Wagon tongues are often subjected to great strain and it is no uncommon thing for them to break under it. A Kansas genius has devised a means to support them in both downward and sideways movement and to a great extent guard against such accident. A rod is run through the front end of the wagon body and furnishes a grip for two hooks, each of which is connected to a ring by ```markdown ``` Iron Rods Share the Strain. Running forward from the ring is a third and larger yield, which is connected to a clips which encases the wagon tongue near to middle. The advantage of the equipment will be readily seen. An an on the wooden tongue is shown on the iron rod, which being made suitable by spring parts in their centers give just enough leeworthy without allowing the tongue to grip in two.

Cabbage needs cultivating very often during the summer. This causes it to put out broad leaves, which will bring big heads in the fall. Most people set out their late cabbage plants too early in the season. About the Fourth of July is a good time and early enough. Plant radishes a few at a time and often, say about five days apart. This will give a succession all summer. Radishes are good for the stomach. When you plant cantaloupes sow a bit of radish or turnip seed in the hill.
