THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR P. S. B. Pinchback, the only col- lored than who ever served as a governor of one of the states' of the Union, died at his home in Washington. He served as governor of Louisiana from Dec. 6, 1872, to Jan. 18, 1873. He had been elected Lieutenant governor, and upon the impeachment of Governor Marmoth, succeeded to the gubernatorial chair. At the outbreak of the Civil War he joined the Louisiana native guards. He served as State Senator and delegate-at-large to the Republican national conventions of 1868 and 1884. He also served as president of the board of police commissioners of New Orleans and as a member of the school board. President Arthur appointed him surveyor of the port of New Orleans. After waging a campaign for a seat in the United States Senate, he was rejected by a vote of 32 to 20. In 1872 he was elected representative at large from Louisiana, but refused to take the oath, preferring to continue his senatorial campaign. He came to Washington 30 years ago. Surviving him are his wife, two sons, Dr. Bismarck Pinchback and Lieutenant Walter Pinchback, and one grandson, Eugene Hoomer. —Washington Post. Chicago Defender. New Orleans, La., Jan. 61 -One by one the spectacular figures which shown in reconstruction politics in Louisiana are passing away. During 1921, occurred the deaths of a former lieutenant-governor, a governor and a state senator. The last mentioned, Senator Pierre Landry, died Thursday, Dec. 22, 111 same dap that marked the end of exgovernor Pinchback. Pierre Landry was born a slave on the Brinken plantation in Ancestion parish, April 17, 1841. Thru industry and thrift and the kindness of his master he was enabled to buy his freedom for $1,600 at the age of 16. From that time on his life was filled with a variety of activities, although one of his ambitions—enlistment during the Civil War—was discouraged and blocked by his mother. After the war Landry entered politics and served the state in the capacity of representative and senator. At the age of 27 he was elected mayor of the city of Donaldsonville. Later he was postmaster in the same town. It is said that Senator Landry fore saw the change which was to come in reconstruction politics, and while at the height of his political career took up the active upbuilding of the Methodist Episcopal church in Louisiana, associating with Bishop Hartzell. It was Senator Landry who put over the legislation which made New Orleans college a strong institution. He later worked for and succeeded in establishing the measure which made the Southern University possible. Flint Medical college and the Flint Goodridge hospital of New Orleans were also indebted to his efforts. A peculiar feature of his remarkable career was the fact that he never spent a day in school as a student. Yet he studied hard and became dean of Gilbert college and served as its had for six years. When he was 19 years old he was married to Miss Amanda Grigsby, of Ascension parish, who bore him 13 children, 11 of whom still survive. By another wife, married after the death of the first in 1883, Senator Landry was the father of two other children, who are still living. He was in good and vigorous health to within six months of his death and then began to slowly fall. He was confined to bed only three weeks when he died in full mental vigor, surrounded by his large family. The funeral was a notable affair. Among the many who spoke feelingly of the life of Senator Landry were L. E. Bentley, port commissioner of New Orleans, and ex-Governor Warmouth, who was a Republican governor of Louisiana during reconstruction days. NUMBER TWO Hon. Nick Chiles, President, Kansas Defense Society. For sometime I've been thinking of putting this matter before you and asking you to use your influence with our public men of authority and power in wiping out the great evil of "Mob Rule". I see thru your paper the Plaindealer that you have been able to get in touch with President Harding and our congressmen on other matters; and I do not see why you could not champion this GAUSE of so vital importance to the people of the United States; and so worthy of much consideration by all wise thinking people. The "Mob law" is a disgrace to our country and a greet blot upon the fair name of the United States. In the eyes of all other nations of the world. Lynching and burning were formerly confined to the Southern state and the Negro; but these later years has spread to nearly every state in the Union and no race is exempted. Evil has no limit as you see, and if not checked will sooner or later become the ruling passion. I have been waiting patiently for Congress to right this great wrong thru legislation, for that is the only way it can ever be done, but so far it has failed to do so. I see there has been a bill called the Anti-Lynching bill introduced in the House of Representatives. I do not know just what this bill embraces, but if it covers the ground, and will aid in breaking up this evil practice, I want you to urge our congressmen to support it. Please write to President Harding and our Senators and Congressmen, call on Governor Allen and risk him to use his influence. Get it before the Defense Societies or similar organizations in all the states in the Union, that you can reach, asking them to act together as a unit and petition their congressmen to support this bill or some other one that will wipe out this great injustice. The time to strike is white the iron is hot. I would like to see a law made to embrace the following. That the county wherein the victim of a mob suffers death, be compelled to pay the sum of $2000; the state to pay $3000; and the United States, $10,000 to said victims nearest heirs. The above amounts to be drawn out of the respective treasuries and raised by a taxation of the people of those districts. When you fail to move man by an appeal to his conscience to right such an injustice as the "Mob law" the next step is to appeal to his pocket book. For it appears the whole nation is more concerned about its wealth than it is about the common defense and general welfare of its people. I would like you to publish this letter in the Plaindealer and send a copy to the Defense Societies. Yours for Justice, JACOB WELCHER Council Grove, Kan. KILLED DRUNKEN BOSS St Louis, Mo, Jan. 4.-H. M. Graham, white director of the Graham Paper Company, who boasted that he took one hundred drinks a day and his liquor bill was four hundred fifty dollars per month, was shot and killed by Clifford Taylor, his chauffeur. Graham was on a drunk and snushel up things in the house and Taylor went to see him telling him he had decided to leave his employ. It was while Taylor was asking him for his money that Graham became violent and his chauffeur killed him. He voluntarily surrendered to the police. Graham's wife who is cut off in her husband's will, immensely committed suicide. GRAND MASTER JAMESON VISITS IN TO Dr. II, W. Jameson, of Peoria, Ill. Grand Master of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. of this country, was in the city this week for the purpose of installing the officers of the various lodges and chapters. Mrs. Elsie Brown, Worthy Princess of Silver Temple, Mrs. E. Lawson, Princess of Patterson Temple, and Mr. Burrell Pope, Worthy Master of Dunbar, No. 7. The National Grand Master met a crowded house for the occasion. After the installation a reception was held in his honor. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 13, 1922 NEGRO MUSIC (By Dr. Frank Crane) The Negro problem in the United States is usually considered in one of three respects. First, as a labor question:—this competition with the whites is resentful for the old reason that his scale of living is lower. Second, as a political question:—the injection of a mass of ex-slaves into the voting population brought its inevitable confusion. Third, as a social problem:—the Negro cannot be argued or legislated out of his status of a human being, and as such he has to get along in some way with white human beings. There is another aspect of the Negro question, however, which has been neglected, and that is the artistic and aesthetic aspect. While the Negro is inferior to the Anglo-Saxon in the rougher and more practical activities of civilization there are certain regions of sentiment where he is superior. In one realm of feeling the Negro is distinctly superior, and that is music. The only entirely original music produced in the United States and perhaps in the world, in recent times has been the Negro melodies. They are the products of pure and vigorous creative imagination. Natalie Curtis Burlin recently got out a series of four pamphlets of Negro folk songs, wherein there is presented to us, in a striking way, the musical genius of the Negro. The black man produced his music as all true music is produced, as a bu product of his work, his play, and his passion. He is primarily the creator of the work song. The pamphlets referred to contain interesting examples. For example there is the "Peanut Pickin' Song," which grew out of the times when the slaves of all ages gathered round the open bonfire and picked the harvested peanuts from their stems. "I kin fill dis basket if I choose, Den Maaa gwine give me Chris mus shoes Two red han'kerchiefs an' a walkin' cane Den I's gwine strut down de Big House lane." There was the "Hammerin' Song," which comes from the mines of Virginia, where the workmen chanted a simple refrain and were lead by a "header," or leader, who received extra pay for his ability in improvisation. Besides these there is "Chicka'hanka," used by workmen on the railroads, imitating the puffing of locomotives; "Liza Jane," one of the many songs improvised for dances; the "Cotton-Pickin' Song," the "Corn-Shuckin' Song," and others. And no mention has been made of the largest field of all, which is that of the spiritual songs and religious melodies. But the point of it all is that the Negro unconsciously thinks musically. To the white man, music is a luxury. To the Negro, it is life itself. LOCAL W. R. C.

One of the prettiest of the holiday events was given Thursday morning by the Excelsior Club at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Robinson, 900 E. Grand. The house was made more beautiful with holiday decorations. The hostess Mrs. W. R. Robinson, was assisted by the club members in serving a dainty luncheon. Out of town guests were: Mrs. Bertha Smith of Topeka, Kansas, sister of the hostess; Mr. and Mrs. I. P. Jones, Dr. and Mrs. Williamston and Mrs. Maud Horne of McAlester, followed Monday morning. Jan. 2, by an informal breakfast at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Jones, 1021 East Choc-taw, in honor of Mrs. Bertha S. Smith. The home was beautifully decorated with pot flowers and car nations. Out of town guest, Mrs. Scott, of Wilburton, Okla. —From (Okla. City.) Black Dispatch EXCELSIOR LODGE ,K. OF P. INSTALLS NEW OFFICERS On Thursday evening, January 5th, Excelsior Lodge, No. 3, Knights of Pythias, held a great feast and a good time at the installation of the newly elected officers at their hall, 620 Kansas avenue. Mr. Frank Dehart, who recently moved to this city from the southern part of the state, was installed as Chancellor Commander; J. C. Gateskill, V. C.; Amos Booker; K. of R. and S.; W. E. Miller, M. E.; Martin Perguson, M. F. This lodge has at present a membership of One hundred and fifty six. Mr. Dehart moved to Topeka a few months ago from Independence, Kansas transferring his membership to No. 3. Owing to his thorough knowledge of Pythianism, the members elected him without a dissenting vote. He is one of the finest chefs in this section of the country and is now in charge of the University Club, corner Sixth and Harrison streets. He is one of Kansas' progressive citizens and believes in doing things. Just recently he purchased a nice modern home at 730 Garfield avenue, at a cost of $2400. He has a wife and daughter to share his joys. Together with' Thomas Sheed, he served the Knights a fine lunch consisting of Minced ham, New York cheese and good coffee. Mr Dehart worked for two terms in the State Legislature. The people of Topeka are proud of good, progressive citizens of this type and this is evidenced by his having been elected Chancellor Commander of this lodge also a complete stranger. CONGRESSMAN ANSORAGE WILL FIGHT DISCRIMINATION IN CAPITAL RESTAURANT New York, Jan 12 —The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York City, today made public a letter from Representative Martin C. Ansorage, of the 21st district, New York, asserting that if any attempt was made to exclude colored people from the restaurant of the House of Representatives in Washington, he would fight it. The letter was addressed to James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the Association and concludes with a reference to Mr Johnson's "strenuous activity" in pressing the Diver Anti Lynching Bill. "I cannot believe," writes Representative Ansorage, "that any assurances have been given to Mr Aswell as stated in the report However, just so soon as I return to Washington, I shall investigate this matter and advise you." "I am quite certain that no such rule as requested by Representative Aswell of Louisiana will be made during a Republican Administration and if any such rule is made, I shall fight with you to have it abrogated." "I am glad to have been able to cooperate with you in connection with your strenuous activity in favor of the Anti Lynching Bill." MUSKOGEE, OKLA. The coming of Roscoe Simmons was a great day to the citizens of Muskogee. They showed their apreciation with a large house. Mr. Simmons gave some timely advice. Miss Mamie Smith and her Jazz Hounds played at the Orpheum to overy large audience. No amount of previous insults could keep some of our people away. Curiosity, desire for cheap display, and the general absence of a moral back ground with the subjagation itself and racial peaspect gave the Orpheum a very large attendance last Friday night. CALLS A. M. E. CHURCH "JIM CROW" Baltimore, Md., Jan. 5.—Rev. Charles E. Stewart, presiding elder of the Baltimore district, threw a bombshell into the A. E. E. church minister's meeting when he asserted that Protestantism is a commercialized and disorganized institution. More interested in raising money than in saving souls. He also aroused theire of some of the minister's when he declared the African Methodist Episcopal church to be a "Jim Crow" institution, and asserted that many colored people who have blood of the other races coursing through their veins are hostile to the church because of the use of the term "African." Dr. Stewart's remarks followed the reading by Rev. R. E. Ford on "Protestantism" in which sig achievements were recounted and a sim greater future predicted. The presiding elder also said some Protestant denominations prohibited dancing, card-playing, theatrical going, but some preachers winked at violations in their desire to get money. While Dr. Stewart was speaking, Rev. P. J., Jordon, who was presiding, interrupted by saying he would like to see what would happen if Dr. Stewart made such an address just before an election of delegates to the general conference and were one of the candidates. Dev. J. W. Norris characterized the address as one tending to destroy the A. M. E. church and took issue with the theory that Protestantism is only interested in money getting. Rev. C. H. Stepteau defended the A. M. E. church as an institution that has given men an opportunity to display their abilities along all lines. The Military burial given George Walker last Sunday reflected honor on our boys. The entire affair was handled with much credit. It is the very height of foolishness to think any body of men, society or group of individuals can break the spirit of the Muskogee Negro. While we have some who have ever bowed the knee of submission; there are those who never will. The ministers were right when they advisel the race not to attend a place where they had been so often denied admission. It was nothing less than the surrender of racial respect Nothing but the ballot will satisfy the Negro, all other talk in sounding brass. We are not in the mode to hear the pussy footer, compromiser, apologist, nor the fellow who can feed us on sweet adjectives and oratorical shell shock. Rev Maddox came in a few days ago and told me he was with me if all the Negroes would join the Baptist church. While that was rath or selfish in my old bachelor friend, yet that would be better than the present system that divided the race into many denominational groups. The M. E. church South, has made a call for the wards of the church (C M. E.) to ascertain why the leaders are losing grip on the young Negro. The Baptist keep a closer watch over their minors by having the state Missionary placed on the pay roll. Smith of Georgia, sends the money to Ivey Lovelace of Wynne, Arkansas, who then sends the warrants out to the different workers. The sad face Negroes in the M. E. church sticks because they have a Jim-crow Bishop and do not lose their property. Now, just be honest with yourself. Do you believe the Negro can ever get together with the white's dictating their church polity and bossing their actions. There is to be a State Ticket composed of Negroes. Progress? Yes. The reporter has been sick for the last three weeks, but he will continue to make these columns worth reading. Nothing but manly, brave, honest and progressive doctrine. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI The Greenwood Baptist church, 18 street and Terrace avenue, of this city held a great revival meeting conducted by the Rev. E. A. Johnson. The meeting was an old fashioned revival at which time 35 souls were added. A big Sunday mass meeting Rev. G. T. Mossby is the pastor. PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR MRS. HATTIE WILLIAMS WRITES OF THE GOLDEN WEST .. Perhaps some of your readers would like to hear from the Golden State of the far West. I left Greenville, S. C., in Sept. 1921, making stops at Tennessee, Kansas, New Mexico, Arizona, and then on to California, and located at Los Angeles. This is one of the great western cities, with a population of 576.673, with the beautiful Pacific ocean and every nationality on earth represented. Opportunities are good for our people and I am glad to say that they are taking the advantage of it and in this city you will find doctors, lawyers, letter carriers, P. O. clerks, firemen, policemen and other important positions held by our people. The climate is ideal, wages are good. The orange and lemon trees are full of golden fruit, vegetables just from the ranches are to be obtained daily. Pasadena, about 10 miles from Los Angeles, and it is the most beautiful city of its size in the country and all the nations are to be found among its population. Our people are prosperous and most of them own their homes and many of them have fine cars; some are in business for themselves, others work as employees and get good wage for their work. The Thanksgiving dinner given by the Missionary Society of the A. M. E. church was a success and about one hundred dinners were served. The Quill Content given by the Sewing Circle of the same church of which Mrs. G. L. Cooper, wife of the pastor, is president, also had a great success in raising $85 85. Mrs. D. W. Phelps, won the beautiful, quilt. It was my pleasure to assist the Y. W. C. A Club in decorating their Community Center for the holidays. We had a very rainy Xmas and not a single fire-cracker have I seen. They are not used here only for celebrating the fourth of July. Mr. and Mrs. I H. Hawthorne entertained the following guests at a delicous turkey dinner on Xmas day* Dr. and Mrs Richardson, Los Angeles, Mr Elana, New Jersey; Mrs Brown, Kansas; Mrs. H. D. Williams, South Carolina; Mrs Walker, Detroit; Mr. and Mrs H Jones; Mr Proctor Mrs Hopkins, city.

Lowe was reported ill last week, but is improving fast. Mrs. Willie Brooks entertained the Woman's Missionary Society on Dec. 23. The society realized Eight dollars. Mr. Harrel Holt one of our soldier boys who has been ill for over a year, is now improving very rapidly. Mr. Tom Harrison, our grocerman, has added a new addition to his store and is doing a great business. Madam Orra L. Scott of one city is the Poro agent in this city and is doing well with this work.

He wants it. Give it to him though sometimes it does not get into the paper. He hasn't time always to tell you why some pieces of news are not used; but ten to one he has a perfectly good and impersonal reason. Give him the news even tho you may not be especially interested in it. Some folks never think to give the editor news except when they are concerned in it one way or another. Second, don't give him a piece of news and tell him you want it printed just as it is written. There is a right and a wrong way to do even such a simple thing as writing an article for a country paper. One editor had to leave town because he printed every piece of news just as it was handed in—spelling, punctuation and all—printed it with the name of the person who gave it in. Third, don't try to play a joke thru the paper unless you explain it to the editor. A thing in cold type looks a lot different and sounds different from a thing repeated by word of mouth, when the voice, a facial expression and a gesture, perhaps, helps to show its meaning. Fourth, don't worry for fear the editor is making too much money; you should want him to be prosperous. He can and will give you a better paper. He will be less likely to have to compromise with his conscience over certain kinds of advertising. And anyhow, he can't make a big fortune out of his paper—he will be lucky if he keeps going. Fifth, be ready to tell your editor when something in the paper pleases you. Once in a while you tell your preacher he has a good sermon, so tell the editor something about his paper. Stith, get your "copy" to him early. Take it to him for the next week the day after the previous publication, if you can. It takes time to set type and make a paper. Did you ever wonder what the editor did all the time between publication days? You would know if you were publishing a newspaper yourself. Lastly, go in some day when the paper is being printed. Go in several times during the day, and you will have more of a realization of what a job it is to make a weekly paper. Try this as a New Year's resolution. NOWATA. OKLA. Messrs.

DEPOT LUNCH ROOM DISC CRIMINATES UNION ORGANIZER IN KANSAS. Mr. Nick Chiles, Dear Mr. Chiles: On the 7th inst., I was a passenger on the "Frisco" from Kansas City, Mo., to Pittsburg, Kansas. I held railway ticket No. 2698. Orders were taken by the train porter for lunch at Ft. Scott, Kansas. I went into the depot lunch room and was refused service at the regular lunch counter or tables which are used by passengers. I was toil to go to a table in the rear, behind a railing, used for train porters, where ice containers and such other use as the lunch counter saw fit to use it., I refused the service. I think a suit should be brought against the railroad, and as I am a nonresident of the state, I am writing you for advice before taking the matter up with an attorney. Will you kindly advise the proper course to pursue in the matter, and whom would you recommend as a competent, dependable attorney in the matter. Thanking you in advance for such advice as you may give, I am, dear sir. Yours very truly, P.S. Of course, I am a colored man G. H. EDMUNDS. International Representative, United Mine Workers of America This matter was referred to the office of the Attorney General, who requested that Mr. Elmunda make affidavits of the facts and forward to that office. Theree is a law on the Statute books against discrimination in public places in this state. Now it is up to those who are discriminated against to resort to the law for their rights. We stand willing and ready to do our part. If our race will give their half support we will bring many things to pass. The whiteman who is becoming a habitual law breaker will soon be brought to justice. He cannot always prey upon the colored race without retribution which will surely come. Mr. Edmunds is right. He is a fighter and we shall help him. The trouble heretofore has been, we have too many rabbits in the race, but look out we are driving them to the bushes. NICK CHILLS, President Kansas Defense Society Editor Topeka Plainloaler. NEW BARK EXTRACT GIVES GREAT VIGOR Vitalizer Found in Africa Produces Results in a Few Days—Better Than Gland Treatments. The most amazing vitalizer known today has been discovered in the bark of an African tree. An extract made of this bark, and compounded in tablet form with other invigorators of proved merit, is declared to be far superior to even the famous "goat glands" and monkey gland" treatments. In most cases, it produces gratifying results in just a few days, and as the treatment is continued the vitality increases rapidly, the circulation improves and the glow of health is felt in every part. If you have lost your youth, vigor and "pep" you need not worry. No matter what else you have tried without benefit, science declares flatly that you will get from this new extract the results you desire. In fact, the laboratories making the tablets for the American trade guarantee to refund the purchase price to anybody who reports "no benefit" after only one week's treatment On this basis, any reader of this paper may test the new discovery without risk. Send no money, but just your name and address to the Re.Bld. Laboratories, Dept. 160, Coca Cola Bldg., Kansas City, No., and you will receive by mail a full treatment of Re.Bld. tabs, as the new vitalizer is called. On delivery, pay the postman $2 and postage. Try the vitalizer a week and then if disappointed notify the laboratories and get your money back in full. You need not hesitate about accepting this test offer as it is fully guaranteed. Macedonia Tabernacle, No. 97, of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, on the North side donated one month's dued to their members for a New Year's gift. This tabernacle owns a two story brick building now being occupied and rented by Mr. S. W. High, who conducts a first-class grocery store and meat market, one of the largest owned by the race in the state of Kansas. Mrs. Hester Tuck, the High Priestess is boved her members and she works in and out of season for her order. This is the first time that such action has been called to our attention, a colored organization making a donation to its membership. Macedonia Tabernacle will go down in history as the first organization to perform such a miracle. Chief Grand Mentor Harrold will no doubt be proud of this noble and christian act. Macedonia is better fixed anarchically than any order in the jurisdiction. We are pleased to publish the progress of all Temples, Tabernacles, Tents and Palatiums which are doing things. The PLAINDEALER is the official organ of the order and each branch should send in the news of their order. This does not cost the order. Take up the half bushel and let your light shine like Macedonia. NICK CHILES, Editor Topeka Plaindealer, the official Organ, Knights and Daughters of Tabor. Note: Dtr. Amanda H.

Keller not have any special program, but the rooms at 520 Kappa avenue, were open all day to visitors and the young men. Miss Elsie Green, daughter of Aaron Green, secretary of the association, and Mrs. Eugene Richardson, furnished music for the occasion. The Merritmakers and the Municipal Welfare League served sandwiches and coffee. About twice as many persons enjoyed the privilege of the open house this year as last year, according to Mr. Green. The branch was re-organized on Nov. 21, 1920, with about 20 men and boys present. In December, 1920, a committee of Management was elected who in turn elected the following men to fill the various offices, without pay for the year of 1921: Dr. T. P. Martin, president; Rev. W. H. Young, vice president; Baxter C. Duke, recording secretary; U. A. Graham, treasurer; John M. Wrght, Auditor and Aaron W. Green Department secretary. Since its re-organization, the association has held 303 meetings including 121 religious, 115 social, 43 educational and 34 physical meetings Total attendance at all meetings is equal approximately, the entire population of the city among our race, namely, 4480. Now we believe Topeka should have a department for Colored men and boys. We made this statement a year ago and we have tried to prove it thru our voluntary service. We believe that the next step in our growth, and to retain all that we have gained thus far, is to place a Secretary, in charge of our work who may devote his entire time to building up and preparing the field for bigger and better things in the future. Because we hope that within the next year, or 18 months, we shall be in a position to ask for a building, complete and furnished, to house our activities. At present we are very much in need of some necessary equipment. We should have a properly furnished headquarters, at least, for the coming year. Does more than 300 voluntarily conducted meetings at which more than 400 men and boys were served, mean anything to the good citizens of this city? Our budget this year calls for $2500 to make this possible. The Boy Scouts programs, calls, for, $10,000 for the coming year. The Central Y. for whites calls for probably $2600 per month. You can very readily see that what we are asking in small in comparison with these budgets. For the past year we have struggled along with practically no equipment and barely enough money with which to pay our current expenses, trying to get results for proof to you that we deserve the assistance for which we are now asking. Are our boys any less deserving than the boys of all other nationalities? If these character building institutions are good for other boys, are they not good for ours? Friends, we are going to stick it out; we are going to win, but we need YOUR help to do it. We cannot win alone. Will YOU help us? Do not put it off. Do it now. Fill out your pledge Card and return it at once. Make your First payment now or not later than Feb. 1, 1922. IHELP US TO WIN! Help us raise this $2500.

LOUISE BROOKINS 821 East Third Street OKMULBEE. — OKLAHOMA. TO RELATIVES AND FRIENDS: In memory of our dear departed friend, Clara Evans Siglier, whose life inspires us compared with these words, "Honor to whom honor is due." Everything that is useful is beautiful, and everything that is beautiful is eternal in its life. Her life reminds us of the Pond Lily. A Pond Lily always inspires a happy feeling in my heart. It is so typical of the beautiful in life. In the first place its lovliness is rarely matched. It makes very little difference where we work or live, so long as the best that is in us is bought out. We can move in, a comparatively small circle so long as our thoughts and acts reflect the feelings that are the essence of our hearts. A white Pond Lily never looks so beautiful as when it is in its own place of life and growth. Here it stands out from every other flower. Queen like and supreme. But beautiful things do not just happen. They are always products of growth oftimes of struggle. A face is beautiful only as it reflects a beautiful heart.
