SECOND WARRANT FOR EDITOR Martin Makes Another Fruitless Attempt to Imprison Editor "Libeled" Lawyer Visits Sapulpa after the Editor's arrest and secures two witnesses Worthless Bootlegger Murders Two Officers Captain Jackson Denounces Killing and Praises The Star For its Fight for Decency Vol. 1, No. 46 SECC Martin Atten "Libeled" Lawyer Visi Editor's arrest and s A second fruitless attempt to jail the editor of the Tulsa Star was made by Freeman L. Martin last Saturday when he swore to another criminal libel charge and obtained a warrant for the arrest of the editor, because the Star reproduced the so-called "libelous article" in last week's issue. Martin's chief ambition now is to get the editor behind the bars. He waited until a late hour Saturday to file the charges, hoping the warrant would be served Saturday night. However, he was disappointed in this, as the warrant has never been served. The editor was notified that Martin had sworn to another warrant and advised to go to the Superior Court Monday with bondsmen, which was done, and without any trouble a second $500 bond was given, and again the editor, accompanied by a number of friends, left the court house, to return to the headquarters of our campaign against all public corruption. It is reported that Martin has said that he would be satisfied if he could land the editor in jail. No doubt he would. But there are too many decent people, honorable men and women in Tulsa who stand for the same manly principles advocated by the Star, who are in accord with the editor, to permit a man of Martin's type to succeed in curbing their best interest by putting the editor in jail and thus stop the circulation of the Star. Martin has lived his best days in Tulsa. The people have found him out and they will not be satisfied until he is banished from among them. This is the record he has made for himself among people who once trusted him and Worthless Murders T Captain Jackson Der Praises The Star For Lou Green, Colored, of Guthrie, said to be a man of immoral habits and a bootlegger, shot and killed two police officers at Guthrie Sunday when the two men attempted to arrest him for selling whiskey. The town was very much stirred over the killing of the officers and there has been some talk of driving all negroes out of Guthrie. Of course, any such attempt would mean a bloody period in the history of the former capital of the state and it is hoped this feeling has died out by this time. The Colored people of Guthrie as a whole are property owners. Captain T. D. Jackson of this city is a former resident of Guthrie and both he and his son, Dr. Jackson, are heavy property owners there. Speaking of the killing of the Guthrie officers by Green yesterday Captain Jackson said: "I think it a very unfortunate thing for the better element of both races in Guthrie. But it will learn them that the riff-raff element of both races is a constant menace to any community. I am personally acquainted with Lou Green, and I know he is a man of the lowest type. When conditions in any town are such that an of- THETULSA STAR SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, SEPT. 12 1913 believed in him. He is making his last grandstand plays now in pretending that he has been labeled by the editor of the Star and causing the editor's arrest on these false charges. But we are ready and willing to go into open court and show Martin up in his true colors. He is circulating the report about town that certain citizens of Sapulpa will testify in the case against the editor. We have no objection to anyone, who can, testifying for Martin in this case. We shall expect, however, that each witness for and against Martin testify to facts only, and we will prosecute for perjury any witness who gives false testimony. The editor and his wife visited friends at Sapulpa Sunday, and while there learned that Martin had visited certain people at Sapulpa Sept. 5th, the day following the editor's arrest on charges fied by Martin and that he had secured at least two men to testify for him in this case. The editor of this paper has not and will not "fly" any witnesses to testify in this case. We do not wish any witness to testify falsely against Martin. We have at hand plenty of facts to prove everything we have ever said or intimated about him, and more. We are not too easy. The Star will proceed to expose Martin because we believe it the proper thing to do. We add no one to take sides with us against Martin. We intend to submit good substantial facts and let the public render its own verdict. If we cannot win this fight by fair means and manly tactics we prefer to lose, whatever the consequences. Bootlegger two Officers nounces Killing and its Fight for Decency ficer cannot discharge his sworn duty without fear of assassination by this kind of character it is bad indeed, and a serious reflection on the better element. I have had a number of years of actual experience on the police force and I know what it means to tolerate the lawless, shiftless and vicious element of any people. I certainly admire the Star for its stand against this class of our people in Tulsa. This is the class that causes the better element of the race everywhere to suffer for their crimes, and we need to clean 'em out." Barnum and Bailey Here.

PILLAR OF FIRE 600 FEET HIGH Chicago, Sept. 6.—Tuesday was an awful bad day for millionaire George Willis (white), a Grand boulevard millionaire, who for three years had in his employ Ethel Smith, a young, comely woman of 27 years, as maid in his bachelor apartment. As water wears away rock, it seems this cultured gentleman's prejudices had vanished and before he was aware of things he was nearing the state of fatherhood and the maid the mother for his child. Tuesday the climax came when he was hauled into court and made to marry the woman he had wronged. Many a colored man is serving time in Joliet for such acts and this gentleman can consider himself fortunate that he was sentenced to marry this young woman and pay her $35 per week until the child becomes of age. The judge that tried the case made him give a bond of $25,000 and pay the money into the court each week or month, as he so desires. While in court his honor in rebuking the man of wealth said: "Look at you, a man of intelligence, in silks and satins, heir of the ages, taking advantage of this poor, illiterate, ignorant girl in this manner. If you were living in the South you would walk off from your prey and not give her a dime if you disposed to do so. "And there went before them by night a pillar of fire to give them light."—Ex. XIII, 21. For the first time in history, since that marvelous light brought the people of Israel out of bondage, another pillar of fire will be used to call the people of the world from labor to refreshment at Tulsa. The largest gas well in the world is located within a few miles of Tulsa. It is being piped into the middle of the exposition grounds used by the International Dry-Farming Congress. It flows thirty million cubic feet of natural gas daily and when it is turned loose and lighted on the night of October 22 the visitors and delegates to the Congress will witness a sight that for awe-inspiring magnificence has never been equalled. Six hundred feet straight into the air the gas is shot by nature's force below. Its noise is like that of an avalanche; its power that of the cyclone. It will be controlled and ignited by electricity from a dis- ents. If you are human you will enjoy every minute spent un- WELLS ELECTED TREASURER OF Y- M. A. At a meeting of Executive Board of the Y. M. C. A., this week J. H. Wells was unanimously elected treasurer of that organization. Rev. Jas. A. Johnson was re-elected presideut and M. M. Temliu sectary. But the time is here now when all judges, to get the respect of his community and nation, must give the law as laid down and not as he so feels." The judge sent the prisoner's brother for a gold ring and performed the ceremonies in his chambers. Mr. James Carter, 3025 State street, professional bondsman, was best man and main witness to the marriage. As we go to press the millionaire's attorney said his client need not pay any more than from $8 to $12. The judge dissents from this and said that law was for working men, but the child of a millionaire calls for more. Its station in life required more to raise it. The judge refused to reduce the bond and the money allotted to the unfortunate young woman This case is a celebrated one and one that our daily papers ought to give big headlines after the way they cut up over the Jack Johnson case. This case will not reach the light of day as far as the papers are concerned and the poor, benighted heathen will see that the king can do evil and he must answer for his evil-doing.

No flame can be seen until the gas reaches the height of a ten-story building. Above that a solid pillar of fire five hundred feet in height and a hundred feet thick will illuminate the exposition grounds and the city of Tulsa as no city was ever lighted in the history of the world. Shadows will be cast of people and things five miles away. The flame itself may be seen for a hundred miles. Gas is cheap in Oklahoma. The average gas light in the average home uses but few cubic feet of gas in an hour. The great gas light at Tulsa will burn fifteen million feet a night. Nothing like it has ever been seen since Moses led his people out of Egypt and into the promised land. The Tulsa light will serve a similar purpose, for it will give to the world a message of agricultural hope and will point the way to farm prosperity in all states and nations through the teachings of the International Dry Farming Congress, for whose meeting it is burned.

Buckner, a colored man of Eansville, Ind., was sent to the Senate by President Wilson last week to be confirmed as the new ambassador to Liberia, the colored republic on the south coast of Africa.

WILL ORANIZE Business League There is talk of calling a mass meeting of the citizens of the East end for the purpose of organizing a business men's league, to substitute the Chamber of Commerce, which has automatically passed into insignificance under the leadership of Freeman L. Martin. The Chamber of Commerce was organized more than two years ago and Martin was made president. Since that time the organization went "dead" for two years, it is said, and would have remained in that state had not Mr. Wells, who is vice-president, called a meeting to assist in the Star's crusade against the underworld. At this call meeting Martin was re-elected president and it was freely predicted that the organization would be short lived. As predicted, it is now a dead letter. It has not met in more than a month and the people are demanding reorganization or a new organization. Martin will probably resign. DON'T FORGET THAT WE STILL DO JOB WORK BLIND SPELLS FOR A LONG TIME BLIND SPELLS FOR A LONG TIME Mrs. Largen Tells of Her Experience and How She Finally Came Out All Right. Elkwood, Ala—Mrs. Mattie Largen, of this town, writes the following letter for publication: "My health was very bad for a long time, on account of womanly trouble. I suffered a great deal, at different times, with headache, and pain in the bottom of my stomach, and had blind spells. All of this made me so weak, I could hardly sit up. I tried treatment after treatment, but they did me no good. Just as soon as I commenced taking Cardui, the woman's tonic, my health got better, and now I can do all my housework. I will never be without Cardui in the house, and will recommend it to every lady that I can, for it has done me so much good, and I know it will do the same for others, if they will give it a trial." The reason Cardui has attained such wonderful success in the treatment of diseases peculiar to women, is that it acts specifically on the womanly organs. It contains purely vegetable ingredients, of real medicinal merit, and in a safe, gentle way, helps build the womanly constitution back to health and strength. Cardui is being successfully used by thousands of women every day. You won't regret giving it a trial. N.

For economy in space and careful planning of the rooms to utilize the last inch to advantage, the house design here shown is exceptionally good. It is that of a medium-sized square-built house, 24 by 20 feet in ground plan. These dimensions may seem rather small to work into seven rooms, besides a good bathroom, plenty of closets, and a good lower hall with an open stairway. Yet these rooms are as large as the average rooms in new houses, as houses go at the present time; and they are a good deal larger than some. Years ago, rooms were larger; but that was when building material and labor were very much cheaper than they are now. A builder can almost tell the age of a house by the size of the rooms. But there are other contributing causes. One is that we understand building better, and it is not necessary to build so large to get the same amount of comfort. We have learned how to ventilate houses so that the air in small rooms in new houses is better than the air in large hoops in houses built 20 or 30 years ago. One reason for better ventilation is that houses now are set up well from the ground. It is a rare thing to see a new house less than three feet above grade, and many of them are more than four feet up. There was a time when cellars were confined to one corner of the house, and they were often dark, damp, dingy affairs. Modern houses, however, practically all have cellars the full size of the house, divided into compartments—one for the furnace, one for coal and one for the storage of fruit and vegetables. A furnace in PANTRY 4'3" G PORCH DINING ROOM 11'6" X 15'6" KITCHEN 9'6" X 11'6" LIVING ROOM 13'00" X 14'6" HALL 9'6" X 14'6" PORCH First Floor Plan. the cellar is in itself a splendid ventilator; it keeps the cellar dry and warm, and the heat from it will force ventilation. Then, the circulation of air in the pipes and through the registers carries the warm circulating medium to every corner in the building. Nine out of ten of the smaller houses probably are heated by means of a hotair furnace, and there is no better heating apparatus for a house of this size. Another improvement in the modern house is in making larger chimneys and putting more flues in them. There is a constant current of air going up BED RM 10'0"X11'0" BED RM 8'X9'6" BATH 3'X2'8" BED ROOM 11'0"X11'6" BED ROOM 10'0"X11'6" Second Floor Plan. sands of people owe their lives unknowingly to just such protection. The general appearance of this house is inclined to plainness; but across the front it is relieved by a good veranda that especially fits the general design. It is, however, better to build plain and neat than to attach too many ornaments. There is something about a plain, neat house, if well proportioned, that you never get tired of. Fancy balconies and odd-shaped roofs look well when they are new, but such things seldom wear well. For steady diet, there is nothing so satisfying as plain bread and butter, meat and potatoes. A little cake and a few candies may be all right by way of variety, but you cannot live on such things. You build a good, solid, plain, square house that is light, alry, well ventilated, and easily heated, and you have something to be satisfied with as long as you live. A study of the rooms in the present design will convince anyone that this plan offers a good deal of comfort for the amount of money the house will cost. Commencing with the front hall, there is a good-looking open stair lighted both from the top and the bottom—a feature that you do not always meet with. Then there is a closet for coats, and room behind this and under the main stair for an entrance to the cellar from the kitchen. There is a good hall—big enough without using up a whole lot of unnecessary space. The living room and dining room are supposed to occupy the south or west side of the house, which is the sunny side, as these rooms are used the most. When it comes to the kitchen and pantry, with a back porch entrance, the arrangement is good and pretty handy. I do not advocate putting the kitchen on the north side of the house, because I think a kitchen should be as bright and cheerful as any other room; but on the other hand, a northern or eastern room is cooler than one facing the south or west, and you have too much heat in the kitchen anyway. It is impossible to have everything just exactly right; but taking this house on the whole, the plan is a good one, and it is not very expensive. With careful management it may be built in most towns for about $2,000, complete with piping for gas and with electric wiring. An exceptionally good manager might get the furnace put in, and still keep the price within $2,000. Economy Drug Store Dealers in Fresh Drugs, Toilet Articles, Perfumes, and Other Sundries.

It is not an unusual thing to see an acre of corn, an acre of kafircorn or milo, a couple of acres of cotton, or one-tenth of an acre of vegetables in all sections of Oklahoma. These miniature farms represent the industry of the boys and girls of tihs state, who propose to take part in the big contests at the State Fair which opens its gates on Sept. 23. Ninety-five banks, in nearly every county, have offered cash premiums of $10 each in the Boys' and GGirl's Corn, Kafircorn and Cotton Contests. The special premiums of the banks T. M.

Department of Agriculture, in charge of the Boys' and Girls' Clubs of Oklahoma. supplement cash prizes offered by the State Fair and others who are interested in the welfare of the boys and girls of Oklahoma. The Atkinson, Warren & Henley Company, farm loans, of Oklahoma City, has just authorized the State Fair management to announce a sweepstake of $25 in gold to the boy or girl making the highest total score in the Kafircorn Contest. Orion McMath of Reed, Oklahoma, won this prize last year. A new feature this year will be seven prizes amounting to $35 for the best peck of Spanish peanuts. These specials are offered by the Russell-Duncan Jobbers' Mills of Oklahoma City for the purpose of encouraging th Spanish peanut industry in Oklahoma. The contest is open to all residents of any age in the state. Exhibits must be grown in Oklahoma. Size, color and maturity will count in the scoring. Every exhibitor in this contest will receive a large size jar of "Rusdun" peanut butter, made in Oklahoma from Oklahoma peanuts. All told, there are 574 premiums offered to the boys and girls of Oklahoma with a total of $2,710 in cash prizes and sweepstakes in the Corn, Kafirecorn, Cotton, Canning and Pig Club Contests, together with the peanut specials. The latter contest is for all ages. In addition to the specials already mentioned, Senator T. P. Gore will give the boy or girl making the best totals more in corn, a free trip to Washington, D. C., with all expenses paid. A free trip to Washington and prizes amounting to $150 are offered by the Oklahoma Cotton Seed Crushers' Association in the Cotton Contest, while the Ft. Smith and Western Railroad offers $200 to boys in counties touched by that road for the best total score in cotton by teams and individuals. The Ft. Smith and Western has also augmented the premiums of the State Fair in the Canning Contest by offering $125 in prizes to girls residing in counties touched by that line. The Boys' Pig Club Contest is attracting much attention and sixty-four boys from thirty-two counties will compete for the State Fair prizes and for the specials offered by Morris and Company, Sulzberger & Sons Company, the Oklahoma National Stock Yards Company and the Oklahoma Stockyards National Bank.

A wrinkle each side of the nose, and extending from thence to the corner of the mouth, is indicative of a sarcastic and sneering disposition, amiable, and anxious to please. Wrinkles at the corners of the eyes denote the jovial nature of an easy-going, careless person, fond of good things and of getting their own way, and—sometimes—rather indifferent to the feelings of others in attaining their own comfort. Crowdsfeet—the name given to those small wrinkles under the eyes—are almost invariably a sign of worry, trouble, dissipation, or ill health, and are often accompanied by lack-luster eyes and a tired and worn expression of the countenance in general. A number of horizontal wrinkles on the forehead denote a fretful, petulant, worrying disposition, but one given to consideration for the feelings or sufferings of others. People whose brows are marked in this manner are usually good parents and staunch friends, though somewhat hasty and trying to the tempers of others. Nothing Hard About Task. It was not without just cause that Mr. Gladstone's name was given to the bandy "Gladstone Bag." The grand old man was master of every detail of the art of packing. At a country house they were discussing at breakfast the right way to pack a sponge bag when the sponge had been used and was constantly waterlogged. Mr. Gladstone, who apparently had been wholly absorbed in his morning's correspondence, suddenly closed the discussion by informing the party that they were all wrong. "The only proper method," said he, "is to wrap it in your bath towel and stamp upon it. Then put it in your sponge bag. You will find it perfectly dry."

The truth is that the public taste is not as degraded as the theatrical managers and others who cater to the general public would have us believe. There is a desire for the better things which is far greater than the ability of the producer to give them. In the theater the immodest "revue" and the suggestive play find existence not so much by reason of the demand of the public as because of the limitations, mental and moral, of the purveyor. In light music ragtime has its place just as fudge is regarded as an edible without entering into the category of substantial food. But the public has the taste for the meat and bread of music which it will gratify according to the supply.—Cincinnati Times-Star. Worth That. Anyway.

The Chamber of Commerce seems to be a thing of the past in spite of the efforts on the part of Mr. Wells to revive the organization, after two years of inaction under the leadership of Freeman L. Martin. The colored people have demonstrated their lack of confidence in this man and in this case at least their judgment has been justified.

HARMONY NEEDED IN HOME Hiness and Disturbed Nerve Are the Sure Result if It Is Lacking There. The imperative need of harmony in home surroundings as well as in business life is being felt by thinking more every day. It is impossible to do our best work in any atmosphere of confusion, and it is an almost invisible rule that illness and disturbed nerves are the penalty exacted if we allow ourselves to be drawn in to conditions that do not spell her many. Our home is our console, and nothing should be allowed to enter therein that makes us unhappy. If one is obliged to take strangers into the home on account of financial consideration it is wise to make sure that they are not antagonistic in any way that will affect the family welfare, otherwise it is better to give up the耐心耐心 and do with less if it means peace of mind. There is no price to pay for harmony for it mean, health, happiness, financial success to you and yours, the ability to help others, and all through the gaining and holding the mental poise which is the peace of understanding. Some of us have to be beaten on with many stripes before we realize the need of and grasp the snowy edge of harmony, but those who have already felt a longing for it and pause to listen will get the revolution and resolve its gospel like benediction.

White by the 1st Sunday in September WORLD'S GREATEST FARM EXPOSITION INTERNATIONAL DRY-FARMING CONGRESS TO BE HELD AT TULSA OCT. 22-NOV. 1. DELEGATES FROM ALL THE WORLD Every Continent and Every Race to Meet and Discuss and Compare Best Methods for Cultivating Semi-Arid Regions --- The world's most important farm convention for 1913 will be held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, October 22 to November 1. Men from thirty nations will attend the eighth annual meeting of the International Dry-Farming Congress there and will tell about methods of farming in all regions of slight rainfall or occasional drouth. Official delegates are expected at Tulsa from every continent on the globe. China, whose farmers have tilled the same lands for forty centuries, will be officially represented by its minister of agriculture, Chun Sen Chan. Tunis, in north Africa, which has been a dry-farming region since the time of Hannibal, will have representatives in Tulsa to learn even more of the science which its farmers have practiced for 2,500 years. Persia, whose agriculture is as old as history, will have at least two delegates, including the Mirza Ali Kull Khan. Palestine will send its greatest agriculturist, Dr. Aaron Aaronschn, who today conducts a huge farm on land which the shepherds used in the time of Christ. Fourteen governors of states and scores of congressmen have accepted invitations to be present. On top of all these will be tens of thousands of actual farmers who will come from every state in the Union and from every province in Canada to study methods whereby they may increase the yields per acre on their own farms. The great farm meeting at Tulsa will be held in nine sections, beginning October 27 and lasting five days. The Exposition held in connection with it will begin five days earlier, on October 22, and will last until November 1. One sectional meeting will be devoted entirely to talks about soils, tillage methods and farm machinery. In other sectional meetings will be studied the home breeding and selection of seeds, live stock and dairying, feed and forage crops, farm forestry, the right kind of education for country boys and girls, farm management and farm engineering. The real purpose of the International Dry-Farming Congress and of its meetings is to teach methods for the conquest of drouth. It has nothing to do with politics, colonization or religion. It is not an agricultural college, neither does it conduct experiment or demonstration farms. It merely collects from all possible sources the available information about methods whereby farmers may increase their yields per acre, the quality of their crops and their bank accounts in all regions of light or irregular rainfall. It then passes this information on, through its annual conventions and its publications, to the farmers in many nations. The International Congress now has officers in nineteen nations and members in sixty and its influence for the development of farming methods is world-wide. Its work is of especial importance through the southwestern states, all of which are subject to occasional drouth which in many seasons cuts the profits out of farming. In even the driest years, however, thousands of farmers are making good through the practice of the new methods which are revolutionizing agriculture. These farmers will be at Tulsa and will help in making the Eighth Congress and Exposition the most important meeting of its kind ever held on the American continent. The name of Dr. Geo. W. Buckner, a colored man of Eas- ville, Ind., was sent to the Senate by President Wilson last week to be confirmed as the new ambassador to Liberia, the colored republic on the south coast of Africa. Dr. Buckner, was recommended for the position by Secretary of State William J. Bryan, and his confirmation is already conceded. The Lone Star.

With an experience of eight years behind them, the officers of the International Dry-Farming Congress and Exposition are making most complete arrangements for the reception and accommodation of visitors and delegates to the big meeting which begins October 22. A special canvass is being made of every house in the city and every available room will be listed in such a way that information concerning it will be instantly at hand at the time of the Congress. More than a score of special trains from the states of the far north and west, as well as from Canada, will arrive in Tulsa about October 22. These trains will be parked on the exposition grounds and the delegates will live in them during the ten days' meeting. Special wigwams will be built to accommodate any possible overflow of unattached men. Twenty acres have been set aside as camp sites for families who wish to bring their own camp equipment and live in tents during the time of the great international meeting. Added to these special accommodations will be the scores of good hotels and rooming houses now doing business in Tulsa. Two new hotels, with a combined capacity of 166 rooms, will be finished in time for the Congress. Altogether, it is certain that more than 20,000 visitors can be accommodated nightly in convenience and comfort. LOW RATES ON ALL RAILROADS VERY LIBERAL PARES GRANTED FOR DRY-FARMING CONGRESS AT TULSA, OCTOBER 22 People from practically every state in the Union will travel to Tulsa, Oklahoma, next month on special rafroad rates which have been given on account of the International Dry-Farming Congress. Never before have rates been granted from so large a territory for any Oklahoma meeting. Special fares have already been given by the Southwestern, Southeastern and Montana passenger associations and others are falling into line as rapidly as their meetings are held. More than 200 railroads in the south and west are now advertising the Tulsa meeting and offering low fares because of it. A flat rate of two cents per mile in each direction has been given on all railroads in the District of Columbia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, New Mexico and Arizona. Special tourist rates will also be in effect from all points northwest and east of Chicago and St. Louis, the selling date in most instances being October 21. The contract for the erection of the new high school building for colored people in the East end has been let and the work on the new structure will be in full blast in a few days. The building will add much to the appearance of this end of town and besides will relieve the congested conditions of the schools.

READ THIS --- DEFIED EVIL GENIUS BY PETER BROWN. "Seems to me that people are getting tired of being insured," said John Hambleton to his pretty wife Elsie, as he hung up his hat and took off his overcoat. He cast himself down disconsolately upon the lounge and Elsie sat down beside him. "Poor business today, dear?" she asked, with her arms round his neck. "Not a cent," answered her husband. "Not yesterday either. Hardly ten dollars worth this week. How are we going to make the next payment on our home?" Elsie looked about her, at the pretty living room, with the ivy tendrils peeping in at the window, at the flower beds outside, gay with geraniums. It was not a big house, but it was an uncommonly comfortable one, and it was conveniently situated with its commuting distance of the city. They had been lured into the country by an advertisement of a firm of real estate agents, which stated that a new house, with "every convenience," could be purchased for three hundred dollars down, and a little more than ten times that sum "the same as rent." John Hambleton had paid off about two thousand dollars, and now it seemed as though his home was to be taken away. The receipts from his business were steadily dwindling. Perhaps it was the diversity of his interests that made him unsuccessful. After all, it is difficult to argue convincingly upon the necessity of taking out burglar insurance when you have just been telling another man that the greatest danger to a house comes from fire. And John Hambleton was an agent for all forms of insurance—life, accident, fire, and burglary. So here he was at thirty-five, with a home that was slipping out of his grasp. "I've spoken to Stimpson," pursued John mechanically. "I asked him to let one instalment go. He laughed M. C. C. He Laughed at Me. at me. He said that if I didn't pay up sharp on the day it was due, he would take back the house. He said that was where the profits came in, and that he couldn't give away expensive houses unless some of the purchasers were going to default." "But can he take it away, John?" asked Elsie in terror. "It seems he can. He's got me hard and fast on the agreement, sure enough. And as it looks to me, Elsie, we are going to lose our home on the first of next month." "John," said Elsie solemnly, "do you know what day of the week we moved out here?" "Friday?" asked her husband gloomily. "Yes, dear, and if you remember, it was your own suggestion, because the removal company told you you could get a van five dollars cheaper on that day than any other. And we have had nothing but ill luck ever since we came." Elise drew out her handkerchief and began to cry. Their ill luck had, indeed, been phenomenal. John's business had steadily dwindled, sickness had eaten into their little reserve, the house had needed repairs which Stimpson refused to make. The estate firm made its money that way, as the agent had truly said; it gave good value and watched its captives slowly lose their homes. The class of purchasers with whom it dealt was frequently in need of funds; when this need became imperative, Stimpson & Co. took back the property under the cunningly drawn clauses of the contract. "Well, we'll go," said John savagely. "We'll give the thief his house, with fire insurance and burglary insurance thrown in. And may it perish with him, may it prove the worm of decay that gnaws at the bud of his prosperity until—until—" That was a far as John could go. They engaged a little cat that ..... which they found they could obtain without prepayment. They were to move in on the 21st. Elsie was too heart-broken to stay out the entire month. As for Stimpson, when he heard the news he rubbed his hands and grinned. "John," exclaimed Elsie suddenly, "do you know what day of the week we are going to move back to town?" "Yes, I do." John answered morosely. "It's Friday, because we can get a moving van five dollars cheaper on that day. And may the hoodoo come along with us and do his darndest." Elsie clapped her hands. They had smarted so long under their misfortunes—one after another, and all unforeseen—that they found a childish pleasure in defying their evil genius, and Friday, the 21st, might have been Friday, the 13th, for all they cared. The day arrived; the house was emptied and locked, and the household goods piled in the van. In a pelting rain, which proved the prelude to a tropical thunderstorm, Elsie and John made their way to the station. Wet to the skin, they took their seats and, too wretched to talk, stared out over the rain-swept fields. The hoodoo was still at work. They reached town without an accident and engaged a taxicab to take them to their new home. "We may as well be extravagant," said John. "Things couldn't be much worse." But worse things happened. A crash, a jar, and the vehicle was thrown on its side. John emerged bleeding from a shower of glass. Elsie, uninjured except for a bad shaking, rose to her feet beside him, and they stood staring at the wreckage. The taxicab had collided with a large motor van—their motor van, bound for the same destination. The van was not much injured, but its contents had been flung to the ground. There was a rent in the Wilton rug, the living-room table was a bundle of firewood, and every piece of glass was broken, including the pier mirror. The hoodoo showed no signs of letting up. "You don't take furniture insurance, do you, John?" asked Elsie, thoughtfully. "No," answered John, rubbing his chin. "I wonder whether our home is to be found. There may have been an earthquake, Elsie." But there had been no earthquake. They found their flat, entered, and sat down on the floor. It had been newly varnished, as they discovered about 20 seconds later. "I think," said John, "that I shall go out and buy a bottle of prussic acid. I'd get a revolver, but the acid is cheaper." "I wouldn't do that, dear," answered his wife. "Let's go out to lunch instead." This proposition proving more agreeable, they lunched very well at a hotel nearby, escaping with nothing more serious than a plateful of soup over Elsie's dress. When they got home a telegram was awaiting John. He tore it open. It was from Stimpson. "Your house struck by lightning and burned down," it read. "Can offer you terms." "The mean scoundrel!" shouted John. "It isn't any good to him now and he wants to lure us back and get it away again after it has been built and partly paid for. I'm going back to break his neck." "But, John," said Elsie, "didn't you carry fire insurance?" "Yes—why?—what?" John's mouth opened, and then he seized his wife by the hands and they danced all over the varnished floor. "I'll get the whole four thousand!" shouted John. "I'll pay the balance due and it'll be ours, with two thousand to spare. I guess that hoodoo didn't know about fire insurance." "Let's hurry to the insurance offices, John," said his practical wife. "You know, the company may go bankrupt before we get there." (Copyright 1913, by W. G. Chapman.) Decorative Steina The affection of ornamented open shelves in dining rooms with "steins" is a decadent imitation of a custom in high favor in Germany when the silversmiths of Augsburg and Nuremberg, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries devoted a large amount of invention to the production of drinking cups of various grotesque designs. in Germany today the cups that have this ancient origin are greatly prized by their lucky owners, and when occasionally sold bring high prices. Among the songs of Burns is one upon a whistle used by a Dane of the retinue of Anne of Denmark, when she came to England. This whistle was laid upon a table at the beginning of a drinking bout, and was won by the last drinker who was able to blow it. The Dane conquered all comers until Sir Robert Lowrie of Maxwelton "Maxwelton banks are bonnie"—after three days and nights of a hard contest put the Dane under the table. The man who is willing to take things as they come generally finds that some one else has headed them off. Corner Archer and Greenwood TULSA, OKLA., STAR POULTRY FACTS Practice of Holding Product for Higher Market Price In Autumn Results in Serious Loss. (By N. E. CHAPMAN, Extension Poultry Specialist, University Farm, St. Paul, Minn.) In the summer months, eggs should receive the same care and consideration as sweet milk and cream, and be marketed daily, if possible. They should not be exposed to draughts of warm air, and should be protected from the rays of the sun and from moisture, in handling, marketing and shipping. The common practice of holding eggs for a higher market price in autumn results in poor quality and serious loss instead of gain. Under ordinary farm conditions, eggs should never be held. The farmer, however, is not the only one responsible for the shrunken eggs on the market. Country merchants have been equally blamable for the annual loss. A fresh egg will absorb odors as readily as fresh milk. Mustiness or moldy growth in egg cases or fillers will taint the egg and lower its quality. Eggs should not be stored in musy cellars, or in rooms with fruit, vegetables or fish. The flock should never be allowed to drink filthy water, be fed musy grains or strong-flavored vegetables, as onions and garlic, or given access to decaying meat or substances that will flavor the product and impair its quality. ADVICE CAN'T BE FOLLOWED Impossible to Have Egg Layers Alone, Consequently Farmers Must Keep General Purpose Fowl. The advice is given generally to select an egg breed for egg production, but on the average this advice cannot be followed very well, as the principal egg breeds, Leghorns, Anconas and Minorcas are poor mothers and can scarcely be kept to advantage unless incubators and brooders are employed in raising the chickens. Consequently a majority of farmers and back yard poultry men are forced to keep a general purpose breed. Of these the Barred Plymouth Rock, the Wyandotte, the Rhode Island Red and the Orpington are all deservedly popular. Far too many flocks of mixed fowls or mongrels are kept. These are less profitable than the pure breed birds. Eggs uniform in color and size are Prize Winning Plymouth Rock Pullet worth more in the markets than eggs mixed in color and size. The same principle holds true when any considerable quantity of market poultry is to be disposed of. Then, too, the farmer with a good flock of pure bred birds can always sell eggs for hatching at a considerable increase over the ordinary market price for table eggs, and in the fall many of the surplus cockerels can be sold to good advantage for breeders. Cleanlinesa. There is one word which poultry men must never forget and that is cleanliness. Without it failure is certain. The ammonia fumes from droppings left under the roosts are sure to produce roup and throat troubles which are particularly fatal. Lice will breed and thrive in filth, and will ruin your flock in a short time, unless exterminated. Pullet's First Eggs The first one or two litters of eggs laid by pullets are not so serviceable, so pure or profitable for hatching as is their later product, for the reasor, that they were first formed at a time when the pullet was growing and the organs not fully developed.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? Are you thinking of "leaving the country?" Where'll you go? There are lots of places. Ohio, for example, is a state where corn rarely falls—and where last March, floods did damage amounting to upwards of $400,000,000. That is more than the cost of all the drouths Oklahoma has ever had. Perhaps you have read of California's beautiful groves of oranges and other tropical fruits; and of the graceful, waving palms, the salubrious climate, and the certainty of production under irrigation. But don't forget that in one night last spring, a freeze did more damage than the drouths of 1901, 1911, and 1913 cost Oklahoma. Maybe you're thinking of putting a cover on the wagon and hitting the trail back to your wife's folks in Kansas or Missouri. They don't want you, especially in Kansas, where they've been hauling water and shipping out their livestock because of the effects of drouth. Or you may conclude that you'll go 'way back east; to northeastern New York, where "the summers are not so hot and the grass is always green." Late in July, the blue grass pastures there were so dry that sparks from the locomotives set the grass on fire. Forget it! This, if ever, is certainly the time to stick, to stay, and to win your way out of your present difficulties. The advertisements of Florida lands may look pretty and read well; but they tell nothing of the sand and the swamps and the grief which is the portion of the wanderers who never permanently light. If I knew of a better place than Oklahoma I'd be there. If I felt that the present condition of things in Oklahoma is an inevitable consequence of the soil and climate, I'd leave right now. But I know of no better place and I likewise know that when in Oklahoma, we once learn to do the things that we know ought to be done, years of drouth will have lost their terrors. Stay with it! With few exceptions, there is feed enough in every Oklahoma locality to carry all of the breeding cattle through—if the feed is saved. But many are discouraged, are selling off their livestock, and are making no effort to save the feed which has been produced. Of course, no one can accurately foretell future prices for cattle and hogs, but the record of the past certainly affords some indication of what to expect in the future. The St. Louis Livestock Reporter has reviewed prices during and immediately following years of drought. In August, 1911, beef cattle sold at $0.50@7.85; a year later they brought $9.75@10.50. The corn crop in 1911 was fifteen per cent. under normal Hogs were $0.70@0.85 higher in August, 1912, than in August, 1911. In August, 1902, beef cattle sold for $2.00@2.75 higher than in August, 1901 when the corn crop was forty per cent. under normal. Hogs were $1.30@1.42 higher in August, 1902, than in August, 1901. In 1881, the corn crop was thirty per cent. under normal. The general range of prices for beef cattle in 1882 was $0.45@1.30 higher than in 1881; for hogs, $0.25@1.85 higher. Cer tainly this is a good time to be keeping what you have in the way of breeding stock of all sorts. And to keep it, every scrap of feed must be saved and RAISING FLOWERS IN POTS FOR WINTER WASHINGTON CITY'S ONLY DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER stored away. It can't be marketed to better advantage than by feeding it to good cows and sows. During August, or the first part of September, preparations should be made for the winter house plants. Geraniums make such satisfactory plants, and all can grow them if they will begin now and give them a chance. Experienced flower growers say that a quart tin can is the best thing to use in growing plants. Punch holes in the bottom of the can, put in cinders, small pebbles or sand for drainage, and fill with rich garden soil. Get slips from the geraniums. There is such a variety to choose from the bloomers. Then get the foliage variety and plant them in the cans and by midwinter you will think the plants have paid for their trouble. There are lots of other plants if one has room for them. The old fashioned ground ivy makes a beautiful plant for a hanging basket. Mignonette sowed in small boxes or the tin cans will give fragrance to the entire room. The nicotine plant is very fragrant and one the children are fond of grow- With the Democratic party in full control the only Democratic newspaper in Washington consists of a single sheet pasted three times a day on the walls and windows of cigar stores, cafes, hotel lobbies and other places where men congregate. Although the Bulletin is little known outside of Washington except among newspaper men, it is a unique and successful newspaper. Established in 1894, it has grown in news gathering efficiency and prosperity until its publishers now assert that its 600 copies are read by not fewer than 75,000 persons.

Wedding Solemnity. There is no talk, no levity, and much crying at a Chinese marriage ceremony, and the solemnity of a funeral prevails. After the exchange of presents the bride is dressed with much care. A feast is spread upon a table, to which the bride is led by five of her intimate female friends. They are seated at the table, but no one eats. Absolute silence prevails. Suddenly the bride's mother begins crying, the maids follow, and the bride joins in the dismal chorus. Then all the bridesmaids leave the table and the disconsolate mother takes a seat beside the chair of state where the bride sits. The bridegroom now enters with four of his best men. The men pick up the throne on which the bride sits, and, preceded by the bridegroom, form in procession and walk around the room or into an adjoining parlor, signifying that he is carrying her away from her home. THE DOCTOR'S GIFT Food Worth Its Weight In Gold. We usually expect the doctor to put as on some kind of penance and give us bitter medicines. A Penn. doctor brought a patient something entirely different and the results are truly interesting. "Two years ago," writes this patient, "I was a frequent victim of acute indigestion and billiousness, being allowed to eat very few things. One day our family doctor brought me a small package, saying he had found something for me to eat. "He said it was a food called Grape-Nuts and even as its golden color might suggest it was worth its weight in gold. I was sick and tired, trying one thing after another to no avail, but consented to try this new food. "Well! It surpassed my doctor's fondest anticipation and every day since then I have blessed the good doctor and the inventor of Grape-Nuts. "I noticed improvement at once and in a month's time my former spells of indigestion had disappeared. In two months I felt like a new man. My mind was much clearer and keener, my body took on the vitality of youth, and this condition has continued." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Some 60 years ago, Frederick Law Olmsted, who later became our greatest landscape architect, made several memorable visits to the south. The books of travel he then wrote are prized by historians as on the whole the best material we have concerning the economic condition of the south while slavery endured. A dozen years ago another traveler, with Olmsted's books in his bag, toured the entire south with much the same general inquiry in his mind. He wanted to learn how much the labor system of the south had improved. He came back rather discouraged about the Negroes, but rather enthusiastic about the growing disposition of the South to use more and more white labor, both native and foreign. Perhaps his judgment was somewhat influenced by the feeling of the southerners round him, and particularly by their eagerness to attract immigration At that time this eagerness was not only very great, but rather undiscriminating. Apparently, the south wanted all the white men it could get, from whatever quarter. Today there are signs that the attitude of the south on this important matter has somewhat changed. The desire for immigrants from the north is, indeed, still undiminished. There is also a hearty welcome for European immigrants of races known to be readily assimilable by the southern native stocks—which are mainly English, Scotch and Scotch-Irish, with a smaller admixture of French and German. But the south does not seem so keen as it was for all sorts of immigrants. So much may perhaps be inferred from the recent course of southerners in congress, particularly Representative Burnett of Alabama. Perhaps the best explanation is that the south, although it has received few immigrants, has been prospering mightily during the last decade. Undoubtedly, too, the troubles of the north with foreign labor have made an impression on thoughtful southerners. Perhaps we can hope, also, that the Negroes themselves have helped a little to make southerners more content with things as they are—although probably that is not the view of most southern white people. The Negroes themselves seem to be agreeing more and more with Booker Washington that the south offers them their best industrial opportunity. In that opinion Principal Washington finds himself strengthened by a close study of the poorest classes in Europe, whose condition he is constantly comparing with that of the Negroes in the south. He declares, for example, that "the condition of the colored farmer, even in the most backward parts of the southern states in America, is incomparably better than the condition and opportunities of the agricultural population in Sicily." He has reached the same conclusion about other parts of Europe. For that and for other reasons he would not welcome a great miscellaneous immigration into the south. No doubt in that he truly represents the mass of his people. No such unanimity on the subject can, however, be attributed to southern white people. Many complain that their labor-supply is both scant and inefficient, and many desire more settlers in order to hasten the development of the country. But it does seem true that concerning these great matters both the white and the black south are today in a happier and more hopeful mood than at any other time since the war—Youth's Companion. The last battle in which a British sovereign personally led his troops on the battlefield was in 1742 when George II, at the head of his army, defeated the French at the battle of Dettingen. The first day's session of the National Negro Business league convention was devoted to a discussion of general merchandising, the development of insurance business among negroes, the negro inventor, and the forward to the country movement among the members of the race. Statistics were presented to show that the negro is crowding into the large cities, to the detriment of his material advancement and health, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York were mentioned as having an excess negro population measured by the opportunities the colored man has in those cities. The coal production of the Transvanal for 1912 showed an increase over the previous year, the figures being 4,751,850 tons, valued at $5,085,424, compared with 4,343,080 tons, of $4,233,453 value in 1911. TULSA. OKLA. STAR First and foremost, I call the attention of the race through this league to the fact that there are at least 200,000,444 acres of unused and unoccupied land in the southern states. This means a territory as large as Australia, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. I am glad to say that we already own and occupy 20,000,000 acres, but this is only about two acres for each individual. All this means one thing: That the time has come when this business league and other organizations should send forth a voice which can be heard everywhere and can not be misunderstood, for a larger proportion of our race to leave the towns and cities and plant themselves in the country districts on the soil before it is too late. Verily it is true that here in the United States the words of the prophet of old are fulfilled, when he said there was a land awaiting the occupation of the people, that was "flowing with milk and honey." In our case as a race, the milk will come from our own Jersey cows and the honey from our own well kept bees. Forward to the land! should be our motto everywhere, instead of owning 20,000,000 acres, should within the next quarter of a century own 40,000,000 acres. To the man or the race who owns the soil all good things come in time. Let us leave the fleeting and often deceiving easy life of the cities and get on God's green earth. I want to see members of my race that are now in too large numbers flocking to the cities, join the great world movement "back to the land," or better still, "forward to the land."—Booker Washington. Such institutions as those at Tuskegee, Hampton and Prairie View are sending out thousands of young men and women imbued with good purposes and well equipped to render incalculable service to the negro people. These men and women live wholesome lives and set wholesome examples that are bringing year by year a heavy fruitage in the way of enlightenment and encouragement. As vast as is the problem here in the south, and as tremendous the mass to be won to honesty, virtue, self-reliance and thrift, there is no reason for discouragement anywhere. Everywhere throughout the south there can be seen among the whites a constantly growing sympathy for and interest in the negro population, and that sympathy and encouragement are accomplishing great things. We can see from the progress of the present how much better the future is going to be, and we have every reason to hope that the problem will be divested of its complexities as intelligence is disseminated among the negroes and as the white people more fully realize that their own welfare depends upon making the negro a more intelligent and useful factor in our economic life. We believe the lynching record will continue to diminish until this blot will be forever eradicated. The negro himself can help the good work along by abstaining from all forms of lawlessness and by ceasing to give shelter to those who commit crimes. A healthy public sentiment will accomplish the rest.—Houston (Texas.) Post.
