THE
SAPULPA PHYSICIAN MAKING GOOD
Young man with a brilliant future before him
A.
The above is the likeness of Dr. W. B. Humphrey, of Napulpa, Okikahoma, Dr. Humphrey is the standard bearer of the Knights and Ladies of Honor of the World, jurisdiction of Oklahoma. One year ago, this young man accepted the position as Grand Protector. At that time the membership of the state was very small and the very life seemed sapped out of the order, through fraud, bad management and abused confidence. The Grand Lodge will meet in Wagoner, July 24:25 and it is there that fully fifty delegates will be present and the work accomplished through this great leader will be heartily accepted. During the past year many useful ladies and gentlemen have been attached to the order, lawyers, doctors, ministers, teachers and a great number of prominent farmers.
No order in the state has grown with such rapid pace as the Knights and Ladies of Honor. This tells the story of what progressive young men can do and will do when they are made up with honest endeavors to lift others as they climb. As a physician Dr. Humphrey has no superiors. As a race leader he has but few equals when you consider the tangible web that tells what men do. New lodges are being organized rapidly and all the already working lodges are keeping the Secretary Treasurer's office crowded with orders for new policies. No organization in the great state of Oklahoma is built upon a more sound foundation than the K. & L. of H.. With the advantages offered the members of this fraternity it means that within a short time the order will be well established all over the state. Its policies are the best and the cost to maintain membership is much less than any other like organization. People are writing Dr. Humphrey to visit their communities and plant the order and if you want to join the band of earnest workers do as others, write him.
Conscientious.
An editor of a New York magazine recently received a story of which the scene was laid in the state of Washington. He wished to have the story illustrated, and in order to obtain the best local detail he sent the manuscript to a young artist out in Washington. Before doing so, however, he scrawled hastily across the top of the first page the address of the writer, which did not otherwise appear on the manuscript. It was "Shelton, Wash." With the story the editor sent a letter asking the artist to make a wash drawing of a certain effective scene and forward it as soon as possible. By return mail the edi- tory received an anxious reply from the youthful artist, saying, "I note that you wish me to use Shelton shh. I do not know of any such shh nor do any of the dealers out. If you can send me a tube I be glad to make the drawing."

SIXTEEN NEW NVENTION Wealthy Golored Man a Genious
W. A. Rentie, retired capitalist of Sapulpa, was a visitor in this city Monday and while here it was learned that he is soon to leave with his family for Washington, D.C., where he will secure patents for about sixteen modern inventions including a wonderful railroad device. Mr. Rentie appears to be a "gentleman of leisure" but these inventions shows that his mind is very active. Besides this inventive genius, Mr. Rentie is a full developed poet. If he should publish his poems, many of which are adored with a burning compassion for the weak and oppressed, and at the same time a satirical contempt for the strong and oppressive, he would ascend at once to the throne of fame.
Like the immortal Shakespeare, he has touched upon nearly every phase of life in his poems. His manuscript is kept at home and his devoted wife, like all good, true women would do, jealously guards the treasures. It is a pity that the world should be denied these riches, but Mr. Rentie has not yet decided to publish them.
Another "White hope' Vanished
The pedestrians on First Street between Main and Boston, last Tuesday about noon, were given a free exhibition of scientific fighting when a one-legged negro known as "Shorty," who runs a shine stand in that block, mounted a white man known as "Kid" Conner" the pugilist, and with no regard whatever for the established rules of the squared arena, played a regular fistic tattoo on the face of his fallen victim. "Shorty" is a favorite with all the white people in that vicinity and of course they all took sides with him as against the white man.
The fight started when the white man, after otherwise imposing on the colored man, cursed him for a black —, saying he could whip any two "niggers" in Oklahoma.
At this "Shorty" knocked him down and crawling on him landed upper cuts, short jabs, and left and right swings from all angles. But evidently this was not having the desired effect on the pugilist, and "Shorty" took a good bite of white meat from the cheek of the man as he cried loudly for help. When the policeman arrived the white pugilist was several

blocks away, probably taking a stunt to improve his wind. He was about to arrest the one-legged colored man when every white man who had withnessed the fight protested and "Shorty" was left alone to shine shoes.
BIG PICNIC WEEK
The two days' barbecue and picnic to be given at the Midway Park June 18th and 19th is planned to be a big thing, and judging from the interest now being manifested, it will be a glorious success. This will be a great advertisement for Tulsa as people from all the neighboring towns and rural districts will attend this celebration.
One of the galla features of this celebration will be a sensational leap from a balloon in a parachute. The air man is already here and will make the ascension on the afternoon of either the 18th or 19th.
Noted orators from Muskogee and other places will deliver patriotic speeches and the two days will be spent in one continuous round of pleasure.

L. O. Conner, now employed by the Porter Tailoring company, of this city, will soon publish a book of poems, all his own composition, which he will offer to the public for a very small price, considering the heavy expense of publication, etc., incidental to publishing a book.
Mr. Conner has a number of poems which he has composed from time to time, but he will not publish all of them in his first book, preferring to start off on a small scale and enlarge as public demand for his work grows.

Satisfactory Method of Borrowing Money Which Is Resorted To by Swiss Farmers.
Swiss farmers find it comparatively easy to borrow money of the mortgage banks which exist in many of the cantons, Farm and Home remarks. The chief advantage secured by the farmer in placing a mortgage with the cantonal or state mortgage banks is that he escapes the necessity of repaying the principal of his mortgage in a single payment, and he is practically relieved from the danger of foreclosure.
Th interest rate charged by the cantonal mortgage banks is about the game as that collected by other banks. For instance, a farmer wishes to raise a loan of $10,000 on his property. He secures the money form the cantonal bank as $4½ per cent. He could probably do as well for himself if he went to the private sources, but here is where the cantonal banks help him out. If he went to a private bank to borrow money at $4½ per cent, for a stated number of years he would be required to pay that bank his interest each year and the full amount at the end of the term.
Now, with the cantonal bank he is required each year, in addition to his $4\frac{1}{2}$ per cent, to pay one per cent, as amortization. After the first payment he owes the bank $10,000 less one per cent. Naturally, the second year he must pay interest, not on the $10,000, but on $9,000. However, his actual payment is still $5\frac{1}{2}$ per cent of $10,000. Each year, however, a large portion of the $5\frac{1}{2}$ per cent, goes to liquidate the loan. In this way the farmer ultimately pays back the entire loan without having been burdened with one big payment in any year, as he ordinarily would have been. Only in very rare cases are the loans made by these mortgage banks on farm properties foreclosed.
German School for Clerks.
The Madgeburg Verein Selbststandlger Kauflieute (Madgeburg Association of Independent Merchants) plans to open a school for the special training of women and girls desiring to become shop clerks. The scheme of instruction contemplates courses in the courteous and intelligent treatment of customers, in the art of decorating, modern languages, mathematics, grammar, general commercial knowledge, commercial correspondence and book keeping.
A one-year course, consisting of twenty hours weekly, is to be given in the above mentioned subjects, the tuition amounting to $19. The cost of school materials will be about $5. It is hoped that the new school, in providing its students with theoretical and practical knowledge certain to prove of great value to them in their future work, will bring about a betterment in the social standing of shop clerks, and thus open a field for girls of higher intellectual and educational qualifications than has hitherto been the case. From a Hadgeburg Consular Report.
Time Had Come
A big, brawny Texan, known for his nasal twang and ability to make money, was paying court to a young woman of his town, when she left Texas for Vancouver, British Columbia. Some time later she married there. When the Texan heard of it—but let him tell his own story:
"D'ye know what I done? I got on the train and I went up there, and I went to see her. And d'ye know what I said to her? I said to her, 'I'm goin' to quit ye. I'm goin to quit ye right now!'"
Command "Keep Still" Cruel.
Sir John Cockburn, speaking to teachers at the London Day Training college, said speech was called into function by the movement of the hand.
"If you want to reach the brain you must do it through the hand, and if you disregard the use of the eyes and hands in education you are placing the brake on all mental development of the child.
"The command to 'keep still' in a school is the greatest cruelty you can possibly impose on children, for to make children keep still for any length of time very often produces deformity."
The Height of Obstinacy
Representative Pujo was talking about an obstinate financier. "This man," he said, "is undoubtedly the most obstinate man in Wall street, I may say, in fact, that he is the most obstinate man in the world. "Why, he is so obstinate and contrary-minded that if he sees a newspaper advertisement headed: 'Don't Read This!' he doesn't read it."
AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS
It has leaked out that a number of colored men have been investigating white slave conditions as they affect colored women in and about Chicago and that they ran upon a number of cases involving a number of supposedly prominent white men in Illinois and other states. Some interesting revelations and startling disclosures are expected soon to be brought to light in the interest of the suppression of the traffic in women. While the investigation was started in behalf of the colored womanhood of Illinois and precipitated by the anti-marriage bills introduced into the Illinois general assembly, it is rumored that the investigations of the colored men will help the white women as well as the colored. It is said that a number of cases have been found more serious than that of Jack Johnson's and that much documentary and other evidences have been secured by the investigators which will be important in arousing the public to that moral awakening which will demand the protection of all the women of Illinois without regard to race, color, condition or nationality. At this time the colored people will be very glad to have the benefits of just such work as is reported as being carried on quietly, while their rights and liberties are being threatened at Springfield.
The introduction of so many anti intermarriage bills in Illinois, the only result of which can be the further lowering of the Negro citizen in the estimation of the general public, have angered and provoked the Illinois Negroes, as they have not been in many years. During the past six weeks two conferences were held at Springfield composed of strong representative colored men and women from every section of the state.
The principality of Montenegro is doing a plucky thing. The six great powers of Europe have demanded that the effort to take Scutari shall cease, because the interests of the powers will be disturbed; but, though Montenegro is the smallest of the states of the Balkan alliance, her king and his cabinet have flatly refused to cease their warfare for the reason that she is fighting in the alliance for independence and freedom from the oppression of the "unspeakable Turk." She is determined to do her full part, unless she is overwhelmed by the great powers by violent force. The interests of the big powers, as we see it, can better afford some disturbance and readjustment than can the oppressed suffer longer postponement of liberty. The "interest" in all lands have demanded too much as against inalienable human rights. Bravo! to Montenegro for her stand which she takes as against all big Europe, for her rights to secure and enjoy liberty. What kind of a Negro is this Montenegro anyhow? She is the right kind. The word means a region of black mountains. Mountains, mark you, not sand hills.
Our African Methodist brethren are suffering just now, heavy loss of leaders. Bishop Salters has passed away in South Carolina; Bishop Turner of Georgia has been retired on account of senility and Bishop Derrick lies seriously sick at his home in Flushing, N. Y. The writer has long personally known these men, who have ranked well among the strong men of the leadership of the Negro race in America. We feel their passing from the stage as a part of the ordained tragedy of mortal life.
Natural colored crash is made up into a bag which answers for a variety of purposes, since its drawstring top, when opened, discloses two pockets, one hanging somewhat below the other. In addition there are outside pockets lined with oil silk and sufficiently large to accommodate a pair of footholds or a few small pieces of soiled linen. These receptacles are crewel embroidered or decorated with an applique design in linen of a contrasting shade.
The word has gone forth that the prospects are good for the ginseng crop of the present season. This crop is one for which there is no local demand whatever, but the entire product of this country, which is considerable, is sent to Hong Kong, where it is distributed over the entire Chinese kingdom. The amount exported in 1910, 94,000 pounds, was considerably less than that of the previous year, which reached 160,000 pounds, and that for the year 1908 was 146,933 pounds.

AN CULLINGS
One of the finest audiences that ever assembled in Chicago was present at Orchestra hall to witness the first exhibition of the moving pictures of "A Day at Tuskegee." Both white and colored were seated in the boxes, on the main floor, in the balcony and gallery and from interviews of many present, the pictures were not only pleasing and instructive but gave a splendid idea of Tuskegee which has become the leading industrial institute of the world. Three thousand feet in three reels containing 100 scenes of vocational activities were exhibited, now making it possible for millions of American citizens to get an opportunity to see just what has been accomplished at this world famed school. Plans for the entertainment had been artistically arranged and carried out to perfection. The splendidly trained chorus opened with a selection, "Eothopia." During the changing of the reels, folklore songs were rendered to the delight of the large and appreciative audience. The pictures began by showing a life size photo of Dr. Booker T. Washington, followed by the shack in which the school was started in 1881, and continued through the evolutionary stages to the institute's growth with its increasing buildings, departments and trades to its present mammoth growth and development. The activities of the school were vividly portrayed in all its departments and phases with its scores of teachers and pupils at work in class rooms, at play and upon the drilling fields. It was indeed a wonderful exhibition of the mighty brain of a Negro, his management and achievement. Members of the race seemed greatly encouraged at the thrilling and inspiring sights and the white people took as great a part in the applause as did colored people. The pictures were educational from every viewpoint.
The negro of Texas can best advance his own interest by developing a spirit of enterprise. Enterprise has changed Texas from a wilderness to a civilized country. It felled the trees, built the cities, banks, railroads and schools. The negro has the ability to do anything that man has done. He is well adapted to the climate; his physical makeup is well developed, full of strength and vigor. He can think keenly and quickly. What he needs is energy, initiative—a spirit of enterprise. In nearly every line of business there is a place for the man who will take it, and make good. The negro can have real estate offices if he will be truthful, honest and energetic—if he will go into it with energy, with enterprise, put life into it, make it go. But he must work out and shape his own destiny. Take the farm, for instance; If the negro farmer in Texas will put his brains into the soil and use up-to-date farming methods; if he will have his lands analyzed and see what it takes to make it produce cotton or corn, potatoes, or wheat, rice or barley; if he will send to the factory and get fertilizers and work them into the soil, he will make one acre of land yield more than four times as much as it would under the old-fashioned method. The negro should buy every foot of land he can get in Texas, become a citizen, an owner of land. It will give him self-respect.

It is quite certain that potatoes will not mix in the hill any more than chickens will mix in the nest, but this does not prevent a change in potatoes in the hill, not due to mixing, but to the tendency of all living things to "sport." There will be occasional ears of red corn when no red kernels are planted, and red corn can be propagated by planting these red kernels; so when there be variations in potatoes, and new varieties may be propagated by planting these sports. Ordinarily, new varieties are obtained by planting the seeds grown on the potato tops, and these seeds will mix because they are seeds—the potatoes are merely swollen places in the roots.

Considerable Stress Laid on Curtain in Front of House at Maine Experiment Station.
In the curtain-front type of poultry house used at the Maine experiment station a feature of the original plan on which considerable stress was laid was the canvas curtain in front of the roosts.
This curtain, together with the back wall of the house and the droppings board under the roosts, formed a closet in which the birds were shut up at night during cold weather. When the curtain-front house was first devised it was thought essential to provide such a closet to conserve the body heat of the birds during the cold nights when the temperature might go well below zero. Experience has shown, however, that this was a mistake. Actual test shows that the roosting closet is of no advantage, even in such a severe climate as that of Orono. On the contrary, the birds certainly thrive better without the roost curtain than with it. It has been a general observation among users of the curtain front type of house that when the roost curtains are used the birds are particularly susceptible to colds. It is not hard to understand why this should be so. The air in a roosting closet when it is opened in the morning is plainly bad. The fact that it is warm in no way offsets physiologically the evils of its lack of oxygen and excess of carbon dioxide, ammoniacal vapors, and other exhalations from the bodies of the birds.
For some time past it has been felt that the roosting closet was at least unnecessary, if not in fact a positive evil. Consequently the time of beginning to close the roost curtain in the fall has been each year longer delayed. Finally, in the fall of 1910, it was decided not to use these curtains at all during the winter. Consequently they were taken out of the house, or spiked to the roof, as the case might be. The winter of 1910-11 was a severe one. On several occasions the temperature dropped to 30 degrees below zero. Yet during this winter the mortality was exceptionally low and the egg production exceptionally high.
In view of this experience the station has decided to discontinue the use of the roost curtain. It would seem to be generally undesirable or at least unnecessary.

WERE ALL ONE TO HIM
4ORACE GREELEY NOT PARTICU
LAR AS TO FOODS HE ATE.
Amucing Stories Told by the Late Whitelaw Reid Concerning the Eccentricities of His Famous Chief at Table.
Several of the anecdotes that our ambassador to England, Whitlaw Reid, used to relate of Horace Greeley, his old chief on the Tribune, have recently been going the rounds of the press. Most of them refer to his peculiarities in the office; a few to those displayed in company, especially at table, where his absent-mindedness and his queer theories combined to produce unexpected results.
Once, when he was to take supper with a daughter of Nathaniel Willis, she arranged the meal especially to suit his ideas. It was simple, and there were plenty of the graham things that he advocated so ardently. But best her own family should rebel, there were also hot rolls upon the table. Mr Greeley's eye fastened upon them at once, and ignoring the graham gums conveniently at hand, he reached for a hot roll—and then for another. As he began on a third, his hostess remarked that she was delighted to see that he liked her rolls, but that she had thought he did not eat such things. "Fanny, do you always practice what you preach?" was the unperturbed rejoinder; and he made his entire meal off the delicious but indigestible rolls that his own decree had banished from the Greeley home—leaving a scant few for his table companions, who had to eke out their supper with the underdried gems.
But if he was funny when he knew what he ate, he was funnier when he did not—as in the famous episode on the crullers, which occurred at the table of his boarding house. When the crullers were passed to him, instead of taking a single cruller, he accepted the entire basket and absently placed it in his lap as he continued his discourse. Presently, vaguely aware of something there, his hand wandered downward and encountered a cruller. This he mechanically grasped and raised to his mouth. Quite unaware of what he was doing, he ate and talked, and talked and ate; cruller after cruller disappeared until the basket was empty. The company were convulsed with suppressed merriment; one or two had to leave the table, to have their laugh out in the hall.
But the kindly landlady, distressed on account of possible results, remembered having heard that the best antitote to indigestion was cheese. Quietly removing the empty cake basket from Mr. Greeley's lap, she put in its place a plate of cheese, trusting to Providence that his habituated hand would continue its action. It did. His talk flowed on, but his fingers found the cheese, and it, too, disappeared to the last crumb.
"Those who saw the sight," it is declared, "were firm in the belief that Mr. Greeley did not know he had eaten anything that evening."—Youth's Companion.
Backers of Brook Farm
The men who organized "Brook Farm" and made a community of It in 1841, were Charles A. Dana, George Ripley, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Theodore Parker, Nathaniel Hawthorne, George William Curtis and Dr. Ellery Channing. Margaret Fuller was also interested in the experiment.
It turned out to be a failure, because enough was not earned to support it. It was located at West Roxbury, Mass.
This community was organized "to substitute a system of brotherly cooperation for one of selfish competition." Each member of the community had to work a certain number of hours each day for the common good. The property was equally divided, and the products of the land were sold.
Beauty of Spider's Web
There are few more beautiful objects than a spider's web covered with dew. In symmetry, in perfection or geometrical arrangement and in the prismatic reflection of color it is a gorgeous object. And consider the wonderful devices that our garden spider has for attending to its toilet. Was ever comb in woman's houdier more perfect or more attractive than these combs that the spider has at the end of the claws to aid in manipulating the cobweb threads, in clinging to a rough object, and as aids in walking over the web?

"I heard that you were going to be married to Archie Blueblood, Esther. Is it true?" asked one young society woman of another.
"Be married to him? I should say not! Why, I wouldn't know what to do with him. He can't ride, play tennis golf' or drive a motor car!"
"Well," said the friend, "he can swim beautifully, you know."

Now that the reading room is established let us have more readers for it. It is all free. Every boy and girl in the East End should avail themselves of this opportunity to acquire knowledge.
The Star should be read in every Colored home in Tulsa. That's why we are trying to reach every home. If you know of a family who do not get the Tulsa Star, kindly give us their names and addresses.
The ministers of this city, all broad minded, liberal hearted men, have shown themselves to be true leaders of the people. They have taken the lead in bringing work to this office to help us to help others as well as ourselves. The preachers of this city are worthy of emulation.
We invite the readers of this paper to read the advertisements ap pearing in these columns. You can always save money if you plan how to spend it to the best advantage, and you can always spend it to the best advantage if you trade with those who solicit your trade by advertising in your paper.
Take Note.—Any successful merchant who has the best of goods for sale will advertise. It is the fellow who handles a worthless lien of goods that is afraid to advertise.
Consistent advertising makes money for the advertiser and saves money for his patrons.
The police are making determined efforts to heal the public sore on East Archer. Saturday a number of inmates of the houses in the vicinity of Archer and Cincinnati were arrested, and Sunday Police Williams arrested four more, all of whom were fined and sentenced to 30 days in jail. At this rate the police will soon clean up one of the vilest vice resorts in the city and thus win the everlasting respect and gratitude of the respectable people who have to pass along these streets.
If the police is given the cooperation of all good citizens in curbing vice and keeping it in check, they can better do their duty.
Race Unity
Race Unity
The editor and family attended the A. M. E. Church last Sunday and heard an excellent sermon by Rev. Johnson, pastor, on Unity, which was selected for his "Children's Day" sermon.
Among other things, the pastor spoke of race patronage and pointed out the great necessity of Colored people, as much as possible, spending their money among themselves. The Jew, the Italian, the Scandinavian, the Servian, the Greek and fact every other race of people, except the Negro, he said, stick to each other by keeping as much as possible, all their money to themselves. It is not pleasant to sit and hear our race signled out as the only thoughtless race of people in this respect, but the truth of the assertion is so evident in our every day life that we were forced to swallow it without water. Our people do not think enough along this line. No race ever amounted to much while it was without wealth, and no race has ever yet acquired wealth before it first produced successful business men of all kinds. And it is utterly impossible for the Negro in America to thrive independent of each other.
We must produce wealth to hold our own anywhere and to do this successfully we must cater to our business men and our professional men by spending our money with them whenever it is convenient to do so. We can do this without malice to anybody and with unbounded good to ourselves. The American white man has put a limit to even our business intercourse with him. We are denied even for money many conveniences and accommodations which are freely given all kinds of foreigners, and in many mercantile stores our patronage is not solicited though they accept our money. Of course it is natural for us to figure the cost and feign to spend our money where we think we get most for it. But we don't figure far enough. When we spend money with our own people it is circulated among us and we get many returns from it. We help to build business enterprises for ourselves, where our girls and boys may be employed to make a living for themselves and families. On the other hand, if we spend our money where only white boys and white girls are employed, where not even a Colored janitor is drawing a salary, we are putting it out of our reach where it will do us no good what ever and because of our short sightedness we are making ourselves weaker.
Therefore, when we spend money with our own business and professional men, even if we pay more for value received directly, we are then spending our money where we get most for it.
Recently a Colored man opened a new confectionary and ice cream parlor on North Greenwood. His patronage has always been Colored people and will always be so. He depends upon Colored people exclusively for his support. He gave a formal opening, inviting friends and acquaintances numbering more than two hundred. The invitations he sent out were printed in a shop where there is not a single Colored man or boy employed. This is the kind of inconsistency that is holding the race back. This is the kind of short-sightedness Rev. Johnson referred to in his sermon last Sunday.
We need more preaching along this line.

THE HELL CATS ON EAST ARCHER
The Star is delighted to know that the ministers of the city have taken up the fight we started against the rotten conditions existing on Archer and Cincinnati streets.
It is certainly a commendable stand for the ministers to take. No man could fight or die for a cause nobler and purer and more righteous than the fight we are making for pure homes and better moral conditions along East Archer street, especially in the vicinity of the intersection with Cincinnati. This locality is a rendesvous for lewed women and their "pimps" and it is a common thing to see them on the streets indecently dressed and contaminating the atmosphere with vile language, cigarette smoek and the odor of bad whiskey. It is certainly unjust to the decent, respectable people who have to pass along this street going to and from town to permit these houses to run as they do.
Tuesday afternoon the editor of this paper had occasion to pass along the streets in this vicinity and to his unholy expectation saw a woman drunk, breaking the glass facing in the door and kicking the screen windows in, while she accompanied these wild weired gymnastic stunts with language unfit for human ears.
Suppose now, that the mayor of this city and the aldermen or commissioners, accompanied by their wives, had been driving along this street. O, of course they would not drive along there with their wives, hence the supposition. They do not live in the East end and therefore do not have to pass along these streets with their families. But there are other women, white and colored; there are children, all as pure and as good as the president's wife and children, who pass along these streets and the Star claims it is a most damnable outrage that they should have to go through such foul and shameful atmosphere. It is not right and should not be. Some day a tragedy will be enacted in that community and human life will be the sacrifice on the alter of vice and corruption.
It may be a white man killed by the jealous consort of one of the she creatures who inhabit these dens, or it may be vice versa. No one can tell what such an unfortunate affair would lead to, but everybody can guess the results. Why not act in time and move these people where they would have as neighbors and sightseers, people of their own calling? The better element of both races in Tulsa are responsible for the well being of the citizens as a whole and since they are, they should have a voice in this matter.
The Star is of the opinion that if this matter is brought to the attention of Mayor Wooden and Chief Yoder proper steps will be taken to eliminate these conditions.
We think these people should be removed to a restricted district and we are in the fight to stay until something is done.
If we are right, let others join us and help us accomplish the purpose of our fight.

MAN IN THE MOON
Again Witnessed a Scene Which Probably Is Old as Himself.
BY GEORGE MUNSON
"I am sorry, Miss Marston, that you have decided to sever your connection with the observatory," said Professor Blythe, rather sternly. "But at your age I can understand that the isolation of life in these parts is not wholly congenial. In fact, if I may be permitted to say so, I have often wondered that you could endure a year in such a town as Emerald. You wish to get back to the world of men—er—I beg your pardon, Miss Marston, I didn't mean it in that sense."
Despite his five and forty years the Professor fairly qualled before the young woman at the recollection of his faux pas. The Professor was as exact as the charts he drew, and some said that his heart was as dry. But any old bachelor at forty-five is apt to be that way.
"I mean, Miss Marston, that at your age one naturally desires congenial society."
"It isn't that, Professor," answered the young woman, almost as embarrassed as the savant. "I have enjoyed my time here immensely. But I have decided to go."
"And tonight," said the Professor reluctantly, "must be our last view of the heavens together, then. The legend that locates Paradise in the celestial regions is a singularly fortunate one. One loses, in contemplating the heavens, the sense of the pettiness of earth. I can imagine no greater felicity than watching the stars with a congenial companion."
Then he broke off abruptly, for the second time he had been about to make a "break."
In fact the Professor felt singularly disconcerted at the approaching resignation of his assistant. In the big Arizona observatory he had experienced great difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory assistant. Men had come and gone; but, until Miss Marston answered his last advertisement from Baltimore, he had been unable to make any advance with his work at
A man and a woman in a room with a large window. The man is pointing at a map on a table, while the woman looks at the map.
An Instant Later She Was Gone. all. And now she was going, too, and the great work of mapping out the two new craters which he had discovered would be greatly retarded. And he could not afford to disappoint those who were expecting his report at the next meeting of the Astronomical society. They were seated together in the observatory a few hours later. The moon was full and the clear atmsphere made observation extremely easy. Despite this, however, the work proceeded very slowly indeed. Miss Marston seemed as preoccupied as the Professor.
"I don't know how ever I shall complete the chart without you, Miss Marston," said the Professor. "I must say that for a woman you have an extremely scientific mind. Most young women, looking at the moon, are, I am told, apt to take foolish and romantic notions. For instance, the outline of those areas which we call continents is foolishly compared with the face of a man, who is popularly considered, I understand, to watch over the sickening sentimentalities of lovers. As though the pure and exact science of astronomy could be compared with such idiotic philanderings! Do you not agree with me, Miss Marston?"
"Yes," answered Miss Marston in a low voice.
"Not that I have anything against love," Professor Blythe continued. "It is, I presume, a necessary evil. But it should be faced with equanimity and serenity, like death, not made the subject for senseless comparisons and flights of untrained fancy. Were you ever in love, Miss Marston?" "I can see that you weren't, and
couldn't be," exclaimed Miss Marston rising suddenly and speaking with something approaching anger. "Goodnight, Professor Blythe."
An instant later she was gone, leaving the Professor quite astonished at her sudden departure.
"Why," he ruminated, "Miss Marston was almost—almost feminine tonight." And this started him upon a new and strange course of cognition.
"Miss Marston has gone, Professor," said the elderly housekeeper when he descended from his observatory later that evening.
"Gone!" ejaculated the Professor in surprise.
"Gone home to Baltimore by the night train," she answered, looking at him significantly. But the Professor only murmured his surprise, and if he thought about Miss Marston subsequently he kept his reflections to himself.
But the work of mapping out the new craters proved unexpectedly dull. The young fellow who succeeded his employee was utterly incompetent and quickly vanished. The Professor bemoaned his ill luck to Mrs. Higgins.
"I'd give anything in the world to get Miss Marston back," he said. "She was the best assistant I ever had."
"Well, why don't you get her?" inquired the housekeeper.
"Get her!" ejaculated the Professor. "Why, she wanted to go home; she was tired of the work."
Mrs. Higgins smiled sourly and thrust her elderly features within a few inches of the Professor's.
"Do you know why she left?" she asked. "Because people were talking about you and her and thinking you were going to be married. No lady could stand for that."
"Bless my soul! No lady could stand for getting married?" inquired Professor Blythe.
"No, stand for talking about it when it wasn't so. There!" said the housekeeper.
The Professor went away in deep thought.
"Do you think she would come back?" he inquired the next evening.
"I mean if—if—"
"Try her," responded Mrs. Higgins, grimly. So that night a letter went off to Baltimore and, ten days later, Miss Marston appeared, resplendent in a new hat and gown.
"Well, I'm ready," she announced. "I feel very guilty to have left you, Professor; that is, before we finished the craters."
They went up into the observatory together. But somehow neither of them could work that evening. And as he sat beside Miss Marston Professor Blythe felt the strangest impulse to keep her there. His right arm, which seemed to have acquired an automatic motion independent of his control, gradually moved out until Professor Blythe found that it was encircling Miss Marston's waist.
"Do you think you could—er—marry me?" he blurted out. "You know, we must work on those craters together."
"Oh, bother the craters!" said Miss Marston. "Alfred, dear, I think I could, only—do you really want me for myself or for the work?"

Set New Idea in Building.
Francis K. Kimball, who provided the basic idea for modern caisson foundation construction, entered the employ of a builder at the age of fourteen, and has devoted his life to that line of work. He stopped designing and building to serve in the Civil war, but has suffered no interruption since. At one time he went to England, where he was engaged as supervising architect of Trinity college. The caisson idea came to him while erecting a building in New York. Treacherous sands were encountered, compelling him to seek a new method for excavating for the foundation. His career has been marked by originality, and he has overcome many obstacles in construction and established many precedents in method. He is a member of the New York chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
Green First
An Irishman who was too old for active work was offered the position of crossing tender at a small railroad station. He looked dubious as the duties of the office were explained to him and the meaning of the various flags was clearly stated.
"In the case of danger with a train coming, of course, you wave the red flag," said his friend, proceeding with his explanation. A hard old hand grasped his arm.
"Man, dear, it'll never do," said Patrick, shaking his head solemnly. "I could never trust meself to remember to wave a red flag whin there was a green wan handy."—Current Literature.

Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 178 West Jackson bouk, yard, Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply.
It is plainly evident to all observers that the number of people who take an intelligent interest in house planning and house building is increasing. The popular press reveals this tendency very clearly. Illustrations of modern houses and discussions of architectural subjects are overflowing from the technical press, finding a place in the newspapers and popular magazines.
This growing interest among the people is all to the good. Architecture has suffered too long from popular ignorance and popular apathy. Generally speaking, people get the kind of architecture they like and the kind of building they are willing to accept. There is enough architectural genius and enough skilled craftsmanship in our midst today to transform every town and village into a thing of beauty and to provide every family with a beautiful and healthful home.
If a genius of the architect and the skill of the workman are employed, or wasted on unworthy objects, it is because the demand for this beautiful architecture has not yet become general and insistent. No doubt, it is also due to the fact that some who appreciate and desire good architecture have not the means to command it.

But the want of money is secondary. The matter of primary importance is that people should have right ideas as to what constitutes good architecture and sound building, and should insist whenever they cause buildings to be put up upon having only those which are both well designed and well built. Good building, the first essential, and here, no doubt, is a point of danger. The popularizing of architecture is a good thing so long as the demand is for good architecture. A great uninstructed public demanding

"qualint" houses and "picturesque" bungalows would get what it wants, but the result is not likely to make for real progress in architecture, or for healthy conditions in the building trade.
When the house-hunting man turns with disgust from the "desirable villa residence" to which the house agents have directed his attention, and tried to sell to him, and determines to build himself a house according to his own and his wife's ideas, he takes a very right and proper course, but he is apt to go about it in a wrong way. He in-
---
vites an architect to design him a "picturesque" house with nooks and bay windows and overhanging eaves. It is to contain accommodations which might reasonably be supplied for $4,000, but it is to cost not a penny more than $2,000. That is to begin at the wrong end.
If a man's chief ambition is that all the landscape painters in the neighborhood should come and erect their casels before his house, he does well to concern himself primarily with gables and nooks; but if he hold with Bacon that "houses are built to live in and not to look on" he will do well to give more attention to the soundness of the walls and roof and the relative positions of dining room and kitchen. Let the man with $2,000 to spend determine that he will have as much good sound building as $2,000 will buy and therewith be content. If this means being content with two sitting rooms instead of the desired three, or abandoning a projected ingle-nook, there is a solid consolation in the knowledge that all the material used in the house is thoroughly sound and has been put together in a workman-like manner.
When the essential thing—good building—is secured, a man may find it possible to indulge his fancies in many matters of detail, but he should be warned against too earnestly striving after the ideal of the picturesque. Having determined on the accommodation he desires and can afford, he will be well advised to be guided in regard to the design by his architect. The little cottage illustrated here-
THE HOME OF THE HERITAGE CENTER
withth is an example of a building thoroughly constructed and arranged according to the very best ideas for convenience; yet at the same time some little thought has been given to make the building attractive in appearance without adding materially to its cost. For $1,500 this five-room cottage has been built, using the very best methods of construction and finishing the building on the inside with oak, birch and yellow pine.
A glance at the floor plan will show the desirable features of the arrangement. The living room and dining room are of large size and open together by means of an arch opening. The kitchen is well away from the rest of the house, being separated from the dining room by the pantry, an arrangement which has been found to be very satisfactory. There are two good sized bedrooms very well placed. The bathroom is conveniently located.
The attic space in this cottage is valuable for storage purposes and since it is well ventilated serves to keep the first story cool during the hot summer weather. The exterior is sided with clapboards, having band courses and corner boards used for ornamental effect. The cottage is rather wide and is of open timbered construction. Altogether this is an exceptionally attractive and economical little residence for the small family.

PROPER CARE OF CUT GLASS
Treated With Proper Consideration Glassware Should Last for Many Years.
When glassware is treated with consideration it will last for a generation, but in the hands of a careless maid its beauty is soon marred by cracks or broken edges. When a few simple precautions are followed its brilliancy and flawless surface will remain for years in a state of preservation.
Tepid water, the best castile or other pure soap, and a stiff brush are the first essentials. After washing and rinsing place the cut glass in boxwood sawdust. This will absorb the moisture in the cutting. Next remove the sawdust from the plain surfaces with a soft cloth. By following these directions the original clearness and sparkle of the glass will be maintained.
Shot should not be used in carafes, cruets, toilet and similar articles. It is very apt to scratch the glass, and thus mar its beauty. Prosalic potato peeled are the best aids. Let them remain in the glassware over night, and then rinse out with a little tepid water.
A very important point is to avoid sudden changes from extreme heat to extreme cold, and vice versa. A pitcher or tumbler which has been filled with ice water, a tray that has been used for ice cream, if plunged at once into hot water will be apt to crack. Use tepid water and the risk of breakage is avoided.
The sudden change from heat to cold is just as dangerous. Glassware should never be removed from a closed cabinet where it has become heated and brought immediately into contact with a cold substance. Cool the glass for a time in water before subjecting it to the extreme temperature.
HINT ON CLEANING CARPETS
With a Little Care Soiled Floor Covering Can Be Made to Look Bright and Clean.
Many a housewife's heart aches when she notices spots which mar the beauty of her living room, carpet or bedroom carpet; but there is a way to remove them. Mix together a quantity of fuller's earth and enough boiling water to make a paste. Apply this mixture to the grease spots while it is quite hot and do not brush it away until it is thoroughly dry. Equal quantities of magnesia and fuller's earth moistened with boiling water will prove especially efficacious if applied to the spots.
If carpets are very dirty, they may be successfully washed in the following manner:
To every two gallons of boiling water add one ounce of yellow soap and one dram of soda. With a clean flannel, dipped in this liquid, wash the carpet well, doing a small portion at a time. Rinse with clean hot water and allow the carpet to dry. The colors will be greatly improved by afterward applying a cloth dipped in ammonia.
Spanish Potatoes.
Cook medium-sized potatoes in their skins; when almost done turn into cold water for a few minutes, peel and place in a baking tin; chop a small onion fine, add one-fourth teaspoon of savory herbs, a little pepper; sprinkle over the potatoes; cut two or three slices of salt pork and lay over the whole; put one cup of warm water into tin and bake to a nice brown.
Novel Orange Jelly
Mix together two tablespoonfuls of gelatine with a large cupful of orange juice, one orange peeled and sliced very thin, the juice of one lemon, two cupfuls of sugar and one pint of boiling water. Let it stand after mixing it well until it is cold. Then strain it and store in the beaten whites of two eggs. The latter give a pretty and frosty effect to the jelly.
Flg Loaf.
Put one cup pulled figs, washed thoroughly, in a double boiler with one and a half cups cold water. Cook until tender and add half cup sugar and cook 10 minutes longer. Strain off the syrup and keep three-fourth cup hot. Put one tablespoon gelatin to soften in one tablespoon cold water, then dissolve in the hot syrup. Chop the figs fine, mix with one and a half cups fine breadcrumbs and add the hot syrup and gelatin. Stir well and pack into a well buttered mold. Set away to cool. Serve with whipped cream.
Cleaning Glasses.
Tumblers which have been used for milk should always be rinsed in cold water before they are washed in hot. When this is done the milk does not stick to the glass, and there is no danger of their looking cloudy.
Mexican Fishballs
Equal parts of codfish and mashed potatoes, thoroughly mixed with cooked red beets chopped fine; mold into balls, brown in the fat of salt pork and garnish with the crisp bits of fried pork.
EXPERIENCE OF MOTHERHOOD
EXPERIENCE OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers
The experience of Motherhood is a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or understands how to properly care for herself. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with ample time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism.

REFUSE TO MEET STRANGERS
Peculiar Method of Trading Indulged In by New Guinea Tribe Who Keep to Themselves.
No European has ever been able to meet in their own dwelling place the Kukuhuhus, a shy, yet ferocious tribe of New Guinea. Other tribes of the country, while they have a great fear of the Kukuhuhus, manage to do a bartering trade with them. They bring salt, earthenware, dried fish, etc., and deposit them in a certain indicated place. They then retire for a few hours, being notified to do so by a curious cry from the distance. The mountain dwellers then descend to view the goods offered for sale. If they want them they put down other goods, such as skins, feathers, and other jungle produce, next to those articles wanted by them. Then they retire in turn, and when the way seems clear the coast dwellers approach again. If the latter are satisfied with what is offered in exchange, they take the goods put down by the mountain people and go away; if it is satisfied they retire again as before with empty hands.
ECZEMA SPREAD OVER BODY
R. F. D. No. 1, Lewisburg, Ky.—"Fifteen years ago I was badly affected with eczema upon my scalp first, then it spread all over my body and continued to grow worse for four years. It began with a dry rash. After forming thick scales or scabs the irritation forced me to scratch the scabs off and the hair would come out with them. Upon my face and body the sores would get inflamed and they disfigured my face. It was worse where my clothes irritated them. The eruption was a yellowish watery kind, sometimes bloody. In warm weather it was so bad I was not able to work on account of the raw irritating sores on my head and body.

GOOD TIMES IN CANADA
BUSINESS PROSPERING, TRADE INCREASING AND FINANCES IN GOOD SHAPE.
The present tightening up of money must not be looked upon as being in any sense brought about by financial stringency. It is really more a period of stock-taking resorted to by the banks to ascertain the true condition of the finances and trade of the country. Legitimate business enterprises are not affected. Throughout the States there are those who if allowed to continue borrowing, would inevitably be a means towards precipitating something a good deal worse than they feel now. In Canada, the conditions are excellent, and it is safe to say business was never better. The pulse of trade is carefully watched by the Finance Department of the Dominion government, and it is illuminative to read portions of the address of Hon. W. T. White, the Finance Minister, delivered a few days ago before the House of Commons. Mr. White's remarks are in part as follows:
"It falls agreeably to my lot to extend my most hearty congratulations to the House and the country upon the prosperous conditions which it continues to be our good fortune to enjoy. I am happy to announce that the outcome of the last fiscal year, which ended on March 31, will prove even more satisfactory as reflecting by far the highest pitch to which our national prosperity has yet attained. I have every expectation that when the books are closed, it will be found that the total revenue will have reached the splendid total of $168,250,000, or an increase over the year 1911-12 of over $32,000,000. Some indication of the magnificent growth of the Dominion may be gleaned from the fact that this increase in revenue during the period of one year almost equals the entire revenue of the country seventy years ago.
"The augmentation of revenue to which I have referred has not been irregular, spasmodic or intermittent in its nature, but has steadily characterized each month of the entire fiscal year. It was of course mainly derived from Customs receipts, but the other sources of revenue—excise, post office and railways—also gave us very substantial increases."
"That in a period of great financial stringency not only have we not been obliged to resort to the congested markets of the world, but have been able to reduce so substantially ($23,000,000) the debt of the Dominion, must be a matter of gratification, both to the House and to the people of Canada.
"I believe that during this period of exceptional money stringency the credit of the Dominion as reflected in the quotations of its securities has maintained itself among the highest in the world."
Owing to the favorable state of its finances Canada was in a position to pay off a heavy loan in cash without recourse to the issue of bills or securities—Advisement.
Sugar From Wood.
Now they're making sugar out of wood. British chemists have found that they can take a ton of sawdust and get a quarter of a ton of sugar out of it.
The process consists of putting the sawdust into a closed retort and subjecting it to digestion with a weak solution of sulphuric acid under a pressure of from 90 to 100 pounds to the square inch. Eighty per cent. of the sugar thus obtained is fermentable. The product is called "sacchulose."
Sick-Boom Light
If there are electric lights in the sick room they will generally be found too brilliant, hurting the eyes of the patient, and not every sick room has the electric lights that can be turned up or down. Make a little green silk bag and fasten it over the incandescent bulb and it will give a good but subdued and harmless light.
Jealous.
Jack—Your friend Alice has the prettiest teeth I ever saw in a woman's mouth.
Ethel—Yes, the dentist guaranteed that there should not be a finer set in town.

"I was sure the man who was talking to me was an umbrella dealer."

Decline and Fall of the Kiss.
Real kisses soon become monotonous, according to Mrs. Minnie Slentz, who, in her divorce testimony, said: "Some couples may kiss each other right up until they are sixty, in an attempt to fool themselves into thinking that their kisses have the genuine heart glow of the first month of marriage, but it is all bosh. Real kissing becomes monotonous during the second year, intermittent from the fourth to the sixth, and stops entirely before the eighth year of married life."—Steubenville Dispatch to Philadelphia Inquirer.
"Closed on account of the loss of Scotty's cat 'Nigger.'" This sign on the door of Scotty's saloon at Ninth and Elm streets, Cincinnati, caused much comment. Two days ago the cat disappeared. When the cat did not put in an appearance, Scotty hung out a sign draped in green tissue paper and bordered by carnations to tell his customers that he had closed the saloon in mourning for his pet.

It sells for six cents a quart.

TRADERS.
HOME RENDERED LARD does not always mean like mother used to make. It means any kind of any kind rendered by any Tulsa's packing plants. It may be all hog lard or it may a part hog fat and the rest may be beef fat, mutton fat or any other fats or offals of any ind. It is easy to get TOP HEAVY on low grade of the offals of some packing plant and hen stand up with TEARS in our eyes and tell the DEAR people how much money you aim o lose for their DEAR interest.
There are also many grades of compound lard. We buy only pure foods and we make the prices as low as we can. We are here to stay and we do not aim to let a John D. lead us into a loss and put us out of business. We give 16 ounces to the pound. We can not compete with those who give short weights. Some merchants have gotten very wealthy by advertising low prices to BLUFF COMPETITORS and to draw trude and then weigh short to make desired profits. (If a shoe fits it ought to be worn). There is not one woman in every 50 that ever weighs her groceries, or meats, therefore she never knows what she really pays for same.
But others are beginning to investigate and to find out why some people have grown rich while they have to still labor hard to make their meat and bread.
A mother should go to market each day and select the meats and groceries for her family. She should buy only the best and know that she gets the lowest prices and also know that she gets full weight. We do not ask sympathy. We ask you to look well to your own interest and when a Judas kisses you on the cheek and tells you of his GREAT wealth and how he aims to spend it for you and himself, do not be deceived, for if you will read between the lines you will plainly see that he means to use his money to put THE TRADERS out of business and after that is done he will raise prices to make back his losses.
What great wrong have we done that we should be put out of business? We will admit that we sell meats and groceries for less than others do who credit and deliver. But if we save this loss and expense and GIVE it to our CUSTOMERS is it any sin? Let those who ask credit help pay the debts of those who do not pay—and also let those who have their goods delivered pay the expense of the delivery--but why should those who pay cash help pay the debts of others?
Or why should those who deliver their own goods help pay the expenses so delivering goods to others? If we do not save you money we do not ask your trade. But if we have caused other merchants to make more reasonable prices than before we then ask you to stand by us now and help us to be able to still reduce prices. The more we sell the cheaper we can buy and the less the expenses on the dollar of the sale.
We believe now is a good time to buy sugar.
21 lbs pure cane granulated sugar $1
100 lb. bag pure cane granulated
sugar ..... $4.60
24 lbs best Flour in Tulsa ..... $55c
So called home-rendered Lard lb 9½
Good Pure Lard ..... $11c
Good heavy smoked Hams, lb. 17½
Good Breakfast Bacon, lb. ..... $20c
Heavy Smoked fat Bacon, lb. ..... $10c
Heavy Salt Meat, lb. ..... $10c
You cannot judge a store by a few
advertised prices. Come to us and
price our entire line and if we do not
save you from 10c to 20c on every
Dollar we will not ask your trade. We
use only the best corn fed steers for
our beef. Why buy blue, tough junk
beef when you can come to us and
buy nice juicy corn fed beef for less
money. You run no risk by trading
with us, for if you are not satisfied
we will pay back your money.
Remember the name and place.
