Plaindealer

THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR NUMBER FIFTY-TWO LOOKING AHEAD From time to time as we have watched children as they go to and from school, we wonder where they are going. This question becomes more acute as we see our grown people spending all of their earnings with people who care nothing about the future of Negro children, and now apparently do not even appreciate the patronage of their Colored supporters. Have you ever thought it strange that the Plaindealer seldom carries large advertisements for down town stores where you spend most of your money? Well you should, and further you should demand that the merchant whom you trade with, show enough respect for your patronage to appeal for it through mediums conducted by your people. That is looking ahead. As Negro commercial enterprises grow, your children who are preparing themselves will have their futures safeguarded. Think it over. Under present conditions, where are they going? WESTERN COLLEGE Christmas comes December 25, but one would have thought it was December 22 at Western College. It was the day the school closed for the holidays, and everybody intent on making the parting day one to be remembered by Western College. Packages were received by students and teachers, and among them was a box of chickens, cranberries and other goodies for the school from the Carmen Association of Fulton, Missouri over which Mrs. M. D. Mason is president. Mrs. Mason also sent some cakes. Along with the box came a letter from Mrs. Mason stating that we should have a big Christmas dinner, and a big Christmas dinner we did have. Our guests were Rev. and Mrs. Gain, Rev. S. W. Bacote, and Mrs. Maris Johnson. Under the direction of Mrs. Carlton, the girls decorated the dining room with wreaths, and Mr. and Mrs. Gardner cooked the most delicious dinner, over which President Richardson was master of ceremonies. Dean Rogers moved that a letter be sent to Mrs. Mason on behalf of the teachers students and guest of Western College. A motion was also mad, that a vote of thanks be extended to Mrs. W. Carrion, who directed the preparation of the dinner and Mrs. Gardner who prepared it. After dinner all filled upstairs to the library and enjoyed a program given by the pupils in the Model School, and one or two members of the High School Department. It was really wonderful to hear the recitations and solos of the little tots. The Model School had a Christmas tree upon which was a present for every student and teacher in the building. Parting remarks were made by the president and visitors, and all parted, feeling that the day was one long to be remembered by all who were there. We lead as a visitor late Friday evening, Mr. Evan Porter of Portland, Oregon who is a nephew of Mrs. Gardner, Mr. Porter is a prospective student at W. C. Western College will be represented at the InterState Literary Society which invites at Lawrence, Kansas December 27, 28, and 29, by Mr. J. C. Custom and Mia Adelina Neal. QUETS CONCLAVE COMMITTEE Cyrene Commandry gave a banquet last Thursday in honor of the committee who worked so hard to make the trip to St. Joe such a wonderful success. There were forty plates and one of the finest banquets ever served in the history of the Commandry. Several speeches were made complimenting the Commandry's committee who so successfully handled the special train which required an outlay of nearly a thousand dollars and the first one taken out of Topeka within the past twenty years. Captain General H. Lodomar was toast master, Sara U. A. Graham, S. Payne had several others responded. Mrs. Anna O. Board, of DoKalb, IL, waited her sisters and brothers during the holidays. Her many friends were glad to see her. She is loved by all. She is a kind Christian lady. Her husband will farm next year and she experts to raise a large number of chickens. Mrs. Harriet Walton Series and husband, of Kansas City, Mr., are the happy parents of a baby girl born November 27 at their home, 9108 Woodland Ave. Kansas City, Ma. Mrs. Series taught children in Topeka and Kansas City for a number of years. Notes By the Way By Nick Chiles CHECOTAH When we stopped in Checolah, we found our friend, Mr. Henry Marland, engaged in a restaurant business. He is doing nicely and also Mr. E. D. Alexander, who carries the mail. They are very industrious young men. There are several Colored farmers here. EUFALA In our next step at Eufala, we met the Annual conference of this District over which Bishop Parks is presiding. There are several Colored farmers in this community and there are a few Colored business places that are doing well in this town. They own good homes here and seem to be prospering. This is also the home of Professor SteNeal, who is secretary of the Masone Endowment Department and one of the finest bookkeepers and educators in the state. Here we find very few Colored people. They are doing fairly well, but there is room for greater improvement. This is where the State prison is located and the Reformatory for Colored Boys. We hope to see this Reformatory moved to Boley, Taft or some other town. Attorney J. H. Lily is Superintendent and (Budd) Brown is assistant Superintendent and secretary. We visited through the Institution and we can say that this is one of the cleanest, neatest and best organized of its kind we have ever seen and we have seen many. Mr. W. R. Robinson conducts a substantial grocery store and has recently completed a fine bungalow at the cost of seven hundred dollars. Drs. G. W. South and also G. F. Gray are practicing physicians. Mr. Gray is a graduate from the Mehbar Medical College class of 1010. They also have one dentist. The white population is made up mostly of Arkansas, Texas and Missouri Red Necks. They do not consider the Colored people as real citizens. We were the guests here of Mrs. Colonl Beck and her Sister. They are doing fine. HARTSTHORNE This is the home of Mr. Weber, Gian Master of the Masonic Lodge of Oklahoma. He is making a great Officer and the Lodge is growing by leaps and bounds. They have several thousand in the treasury and are paying an endowment of five hundred dollars. Dr. F. L. Cook is a Colored physician in the town and is practicing among both races. He was born in Louisiana and graduated from the University of West Tennessee. He is a fine gentleman, a prominent physician and is worth several thousand dollars. Our next stop was at Wilburton. Here we found a mining town. Several Oxford people and own their own homes seem to be doing fairly well. WEWOKA We are sorry to say that this town has drifted considerably in the last five years. This was one of the most prosperous towns in the state. There were hundreds of successful farmers but since the coming of the boll weevil, the farmers have begun to leave the country, the town is not so prosperous now. The leading store is conducted by Mrs Coody Johnson. She is one of the finest ready made ladies clothing and lry goods stores in her own building. She is the wife of Mr. Oliver Coody Johnson, one of the wealthiest lawyers in the state. HOLDERSVILLE In this community we find a few Colored people who own their own homes and engaged in some little business. This is also the County seat, Mr. and Mrs James Red have one of the finest restaurants in the city and are doing nicely, Mr. Milton Wilson conducts a barber shop. There are a good many Red Necks and Peckerwoods in this section. ADA Our next stop was at Ada where we met some fine Colored people. They are certainly doing wonderful for the opportunities they have and the prejudiced white people whom they have to come in contact with. Mr. P, H. Young is a very progressing citizen and one of our correspondents. Mr. W, E. (Bill) Watson is one of Ada's substantial Colored citizens and it is then him that the Colored people received their first stand ing in that town. Mr. Watson is a Cotton sampler, and has been engaged in the business since 1806. He is Texas TOPERA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 29. 1922 The Sunflower Art and Dramatic Club furnished an excellent program for the Sunday Forum. Rev, J. R. Ramsom of St. John A. M. E. church will address the Y. P. Sunday Forum New Year's Eve. His subject will be "The Young Man's Opportunity of Today." The Christmas exercises were enjoyed by all and notwithstanding the fact of an overcrowded house, there was at least a sack of candy for everyone—young and old, alike. The Y M. C. A. has outgrown its present quarters. Are you surprised? Do you think enough of your youth to help get them into a better and more roomy place? The management is planning on something better for next year but it can only be attained through the generosity of the public. They are our boys and girls—our own youth—our own future race. Are you going to help them get into a better place?—one of their own—to stop paying rent? Grand Lodge the K. of P. to be held in New York City in August. Mr. Watson is a fine man, honest and upright. Mr. A. N. Roe is also a loading citizen and a great race man. He owns his home and has a fine family. It is thru him and thru others that the race is accomplishing something. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Carson are prosperous citizen. They own a beautiful home and are doing fine: VERNON This is a Colored town and farming district. But what they need is a man with some money and some push and energy to go into that community and stir them up. Teach them how to plant corn raise hogs and grow cotton. Mr. R. B. White one of the leading Homer, Floyd Galey. No. 4. Merchants of the town recently married His wife is a school teacher. Dr. G. E. Cooper is the leading physician in that country. He is also a race man and his wife is also a teacher. Mr. Wyatt owns a telephone line here at Vernon. OKMULGEE Okmulgee is a fair town along the business lines. There are several brick buildings there owned by Colored people. There are a good many engaged along their manville lines. That is, restaurants fish and chitterling joints. There are two drug stores and one or two grocery stores. There are several wealthy Colored people who fortunately got rich one night from oil products but do not know what to do with it. Hundreds of questionable white men have appointed guardians for these people and are using their money to their own advantage while the wards live in rags and filth. This is an outrage and should be corrected but who is to do it? We met Mr. J. B. Keys, who has bought 21,000 acres of land in Old Mexico and is encouraging the Colored people to go to Mexico but advises them to have money if they go. He is one of the wealthiest Colored men in Oklahoma. Mr. A. J. Wallace is a substantial raven man and a successful lawyer. He has saved his money for a rainy day. Dr. J. M. White is also a successful physician. He owns a fine building. We are proud to meet our old fellow town-man and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Abbott, who have just installed a $3,000 Uniotype Machine. He is a fine young man who is fighting in the front ranks for human rights and equal showing for his race along with the others in Oklahoma. He is a great officer and printer for the Masonle Grand Body of Oklahoma and is doing all of their work. His wife is a very popular and business woman and is loved by everybody. Professor W. H.

In doing this we hope to interest Colored children to a larger extent in their own journals. MT, CARMEL CHURCH Our Church has been for the last 18 months growing as never before in membership and finance. We are indeed glad to say that we the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church under the leadership of the present pastor, Rev. J. W. Lewis one among the humble and yet a gospel giant has made and is now making rapid progress. We felt it our duty to say a few words concerning his excellent manner of illustration and demonstrating the word of God. On his return from the National Baptist Convention he reported a trip of pleasure and he gave us the choos particularly of the work of the N. B. G. and on the close of his report he chose for text Titus, 2. 7 verse. His subject was the need of a pattern for the world to live by a few hearts burned while others sat in disgust, knowing that they had failed to make patterns of their lives for the coming generation, to live by. He is now planning to raise $1,000 to put a basement under the Church as such an addition is needed. We truly thank God for this gallant leader and Gospel Herald, who we know has but a few equals as a pastor and leader. We began Sunday morning being Jesus Eve in our usual way with our Sunday School, Supt. Brother Fred Harrison was on the job and pretty soon had the school lined up in recitation, the Pastor being present in a masterly way, taught the lesson from Luke 2:1-20th verse and had no hard condition in guiding the school id so that JESUS was yet king, and as far, and so plain, as we could see it, he didn't leave a stone unturned. At the 11:45 a.m. services the pastor ascended the rostrum, and chose for text Heb. 10 23 and with much palataking and yet very spiritually, the congregation soon saw what a dangerous life it was to live, not keeping the promise we make with God. Sunday night was to an overflowing with the holy spirit, the pastor went in to the treasures of the Eva 03-04 vows and sinners as well as the Christians soon saw the work of redemption in a new light, and oh, how they came up for prayer, showing much anxiances. Christmas morning at 5:00 o'clock am. the Church doors were thrown wide and the soldiers of God walked in prayer Service was then led by Bro. Ed. May. den and A. A. McNeal, and after a few fewout prayers the meeting was changed into consequent service, the holy spirit seemed to abide with us. When the sun was well up the pastor walked down to the table that was prepared, and there he began talking about the birth of Jesus and his suffering, death and resurrection, and our hearts were soon on the again, and a hand shake was begun we adjourned happy to never before. The result of our Christian services was two candidates for baptism. Our Church truly has taken on new life under the leadership our beloved pastor, in the person of Rev. J. W. Lewis, the geo. god Herald Mrs. Genie Chiles U. S. FORESTRY SERVICE BARNS OVER $5,000,000 ANNUALLY Washington Dec. 16-According to the annual report of the United states Forestry Service, it earned revenue during the last fiscal year the amount of over $5,000,000. Twenty-five per cent of all national receipts are given to counties in which the forests are, to be used by the counties for schools and roads. The national forest ranges pay a very important part in the livestock industry of the nation. Records of the Forestry service show hat approximately 22 per cent of the cattle and 53 per cent of the sheep in 11 Western states are ground upon national forest ranges.

Ask what Ye will:—If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you:—John 15:7 FACTS WORTH KNOWING Success Through Gentleness Gentleness and Kindness, twin sisters are always close to sympathy in fact it is very hard to tell them apart. Gentleness will find friends anywhere. It will be do more in training a wild horse or animal than any other method known. Of course a person or animal can be beaten into submission, but they are not won. They are not subjected and will at the first chance get back at you. It is good business to be gentle or kind at you. It is good business to be gentle or kind (I see no difference) at all times. I can not think of an instance where harsh measures were used, that gentleness would not have done bitter, brought better and more lastin results. My idea of a gentleman is different from the generally accepted conception of a "gentleman" I have seen some human beings "dressed up" with monocle, gloves, weak weak grin, lofty air, color of coin, receiving the homage of admiring ascomphanta, who would not get very high "climbing the Psychological chain of life" A real gentleman is content to be known as a man, real man; nothing less, nothing more. You will not recognize him by his frills or by his accent. He is usually standing where seats are scarce; lifting where loads are heavy; smiling where hearts are sad. A gentleman is a gentle man at home, as well as at social gatherings. A gentlewoman is a real woman at all times, and you can not brighten the halo around her by calling her a lady. Club Women and Girls Encouraged to Develop Unusual Packs of Meat Vegetables (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) In order to use more materials which grow in their own viability, club women and girls in the South have been encouraged to develop unusual packs of meat and vegetable or fish and vegetable combinations, in which they can incorporate home-grown garden products according to standard recipes available from the United States Department of Agriculture. Particular attention has characteristic of certain districts or states and popular locally, which would at the same time permit the use of surplus meats and vegetables. By using recipes calling for veal or in which veal could take the place of other meats, surplus dairy calves, too expensive to feed, could be profitably disposed of. The same has been the case with cull chickens and surplus vegetables. Some of the canned "one-piece meals" taught to the club girls by extension agents are "Dale burger," originating in Kentucky; pine bark fish stew from South Carolina; "Brunswick stew," coming from Virginia; chicken, crab and shrimp gum bos of Louisiana, also shrimp jambalaya. and several combinations of vegetables with chicken, used in Oklahoma. They are put up wherever the necessary ingredients can be obtained locally. In many cases the club girls must maintain gardens to grow the vegetables they expect to man. The home demonstration club of Pinellas county, Florida, recently reported in one day's "canning bee" the club members had prepared 12 different products, not one of which competed with the ordinary Tanner's output. A South Carolina woman reported that during nine months following the first meat canning demonstration in her district she had put up 1,000 cans of meat and vegetable combinations, and had orders for 1,000 more. THE KITCHEN CABINET A man who is willing to take another's opinion has to exercise his judgement in the choice of whom to follow, which is often as nice a matter as to judge of things for one's self.—Olver Wendell Holmes. SALADS OF VARIOUS COUNTRIES The following salads may be properly served national as they are the favorite salads of the peoples in the several coun- tries or localities, the name of which 'a given the salads. Cuban Salad—Break fine four dry soda crackers, chred two sweet Spanish meats, chred the beans and white Montesco Salad—Bake four mild-fla crust onions until tender, remove the preling and put a lump of butter with salt and pepper on each. When cold cut into quarters and mix with four hard- cooked eggs cut into quarters and six sardines finely chopped after emoring the skin and bones. Add parsley and mix a teaspoonful of curry in the boiled dressing or mayonnaise. French Potato Salad—Cut cold boiled potatoes into dice, add one small onion finely chipped, a few tablepoonfuls of minced chives and a tablespoonful of minced parsley. Let stand or an hour or two seasoned with a French dressing, adding a generous amount of cayenne. Serve on lettuce and top each serving with a spoonful of thick mayonnaise, sprinkled with minced chives. German Salad With. Sausage.—Bowl four breakfast sausages twenty minutes, then cut in half-inch pieces. Bowl one-half pound of sauerkraut ten minutes, then drain and cool and mix with the sausage. Cut two winter radishes into very thin slices and arrange around the salad, sprinkling with finely minced shallot, pikles and capers. Serve with French dressing. Russian Tomato and Sardine Salad.—Arrange a bed of lettuce in a salad bowl. Peel four tomatoes of medium size, cut fine and mix with sardines chopped after the skin and bones have been removed. Place on lettuce and serve with mayonnaise or with French dressing. Onion and Cucumber Relish—Grate one ripe cucumber, add two large onions also grated, squeeze the cucumber dry and discard the juice; add one red pepper finely chopped, salt and cayenne to taste if the pepper is not hot enough. Add good older and vinegar to make mixture like cutup. If bottled this will keep well. Nice served with fish. CEREALS MADE STAPLE DIET Cereals and cereal preparations are the staple of diet the world over because they are available almost everywhere, are easy to store and transport, and are relatively cheap, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Cereal foods provide protein and energy in about the proportions needed by the body. Their protein is, however, of such kind that it needs to be supplemented by that of meat, poultry, fish eggs milk and cheese. When made from the whole grains, cereal foods also supply some mineral substances and vitamins. A diet containing large proportions of refined cereal foods must be supplemented by plenty of dairy products, vegetables, and fruits. The amino kinds of cereals need in the diet differ little in net value; rice, wheat flour, and cornmeal, for example, all yield about 1,000 calories to the pound. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT A Secret Sanctuary In everybody's heart, second from the gate of infinite friends, there is a secret sanctuary to which he or she retires when the outside world becomes irritating and overhearing. You may call your companion the place of dreams, or the refuge of rest and reflection, but whatever name you may give it, there are times when you like to retire to it and be alone with your thoughts far from the turmoil and haunts of man. It is in this retreat that the soul finds its counter, its better self and its nobler faith. It is here the beautiful flowers of thought are watered and kept in the sunlight, jealousy screened from inquisitive eyes, meddling tongues and fingers. You may retire to it in the midnight hour when the world is still or when the storms are rattling the堤ament and the pains are beating against the panes, but whenever you visit it you will find the tranquility you crave and the new strength to help you carry your heavy burdens. Courage, hope, ambition are nursed back to life in this asylum and given new meaning. Fear of poverty, loneliness and even disappointment in the failure of some long cherished plan, lose in this staged spot than unmonth forms and pollinous wings. Hints that were breaking under hard strains become normal again and function with their customary vigor, though perhaps with less dependence on them selves. To review ourselves in this concluding is to make ourselves better, more patient, sizable and considerable of our fellow beings. If we search our souls, scan our follicles frailties and short comings in candor, we emerge from the solitude with less selfishness and envy. It is through these dear intimates with our ragged conscience that we find the truth, got our bearings and thus discover whether the path we are plodding is taking to the right or wrong destination. The impulse which prompts us to shift our hidden sanctuary is that which will in time make us better men and women, better qualified in every way to help ourselves and to encourage and assist others.
