DRY FARM CONGRESS HERE! BIG INTERNATIONAL SHOW IN FULL SWAY Tulsa Is Turned Over to Crouds Vol. 1, No 51 DRY BIG INTERNAT SHOW IN Tulsa Is Turned The Dry Farming Congress is in full sway in Tulsa and it is certainly "some big event." Tulsa is the most popular city in the United States today and will be until the Dry Farming Congress adjourns. Wednesday was the day advertised for the opening, but a heavy rain prevented the opening exercises. However, the streets were thronged with people Wednesday night to witness the opening of the Fashion Season—which was inaugurated with much pomp and gaiety. The formal opening of the Exposition was postponed until Thursday afternoon and a tremendously large crowd witnessed the ceremonies. Quite a number of colored farmers are on hand with products for exhibition which have been entered along with others. A pleasing feature of the Exposition is the large number of youthful farmer boys and girls who are taking interest in this big show. Many of them have raised products especially for this occasion and a number of colored boys and girls have entered their exhibits.

SPECIAL SALE ON MILLE- NERY GOODS AT HARLOW BROKERAGE MAIN STREET STORE.—ADV. Protesta Discuss Neg NEW YORK, Oct. 22. The old question of negro representation in the house of bishops legislation was to be dealt with this afternoon by the gene- al convention of the Protestant Episcopal church. The outlook was for a stormy meeting of an hour's dura- tion in the house or deputies and for an unlimited debate in the house of bishops. Both houses will have to concur in legislat on before the present status of negro communicants can be changed. At present the negro membership is under direction of white diocesan bishops. A minority of the deputies committee on racial episcopate would place this entire membership under the direction of a single negro bishop and give this bishop a vote in the house of deputies. A majority of the committee opposed the plan. Sentiment in the house of deputies today appeared to be almost evenly divided. In the house of bishops however, there was a strong feeling that the wishes of the northern bishops, who would be most directly affected, should determine the action of the house. To this end there was on foot a movement to refer the entire matter to the southern bishops and sustain a majority report. At a joint session of the two houses this morning the work of the church among American negroes, Indians and inhabitants of West Africa was discussed. Business was suspended for a few minutes to welcome a fraternal delegation from the church of England in Canada. The cryptic hand writing of a southern bishop caused an error in the announcement of the election of the --- Revolutionists Slays entire Village MEXICO CITY, Oct. 23. Revolutionary yesterday murdered the entire population numbering about 20 of the Village of Cheran Ateurin, in the state of Michoacan while they were descending the village church against the footers. The villagers fought until the ammunition was exhausted and then used machettes, stones and clubs to beat off their assaultants, but even after they were overcome and killed the village was burned to the ground. Rebels were reported to have treated Lieut. Jose Bracementes and two soldiers belonging to a small federal ferrison which stood near Camonón, south of Neuvo Laredo after killing the remainder of the federal troops. The rebels are said to have skinned the soles off the feet of their three prisoners, walked them several miles and then beheaded them with machettes because they refused to show for 'arranza.

Wealthy Muskogeeans Speak at Mass Meeting Captian Jackson Lauded As Brave High Class Race Man By Dr. K. H. Waterford T. J. Elliott, president of the State Negro Business League, and Dr. R. H. Woterford, a prominent physician of Muskogee, were the principal speakers at a mass meeting here Monday night, held in the First Baptist church for the purpose of arousing interest in the coming to Oklahoma next August of the National Negro Business League which meets at Muskogee. Word was received here Saturday that these two men would be here Monday night. Sunday an impromptu meeting was called, it is said by Freeman L. Martin, and a few men met and organized a local Business League, electing Prof. J. W. Hughes president and Dr. J. M. Key secretary. A committee was appointed to receive the visitors and when they arrived over the Midland Valley they were ushered into an automobile and drove about town after which they were served a palatable lunch at Mrs. Bell's cafe. The party then proceeded to the church. Mr. Elliot was introduced and after a few preliminary remarks, praising Tulsa and her Griffy citizens, he took up the work of the State League in its effort to add 10,000 new members to the Oklahoma League by the time the National League meets. Elliott made a good business like speech, but it was for Dr. Waterford to claim the glory of the evening with his masterly eloquence and forceful reasoning. Being introduced by Prof. Hughes Dr. Waterford arose and slowly walked to the front of the rostrum. He began his discussion with an eloquent eloogy of Capt T. D. Jackson of this city, whom he said he had known for more than fifty years. "I want to tell you," he said "that there is not a truer, brave and a more upright man in all the world than Capt. Jackson. It has been tried with fire and found not wanting. He is a big class man; a man that any community might well be proud of. He is in every sense of the worst a true loyal race man whom I light to do honor." And the doctor spoke with much feeling. When he had satisfied himself with eulogizing his friend, Dr Waterford in very forecable terms discussed the work of the Stat League, enlarging on what had been said by Mr. Elliott, and treating in his own way every detail of the work in hand. His talk was an inspiration to those who heard him and he was frequently interrupted with ap clause. Dr. Waterford is one of the foremost citizens of Muskogee His property in this state and Arkansas is said to pass the $50,000 mark. He is a prominent success and is doing much to advance the young men of his race.

LETTUCE WHILE YOU WAIT Dinner Guests May See It Grow on the Table for Their Salad. When at a dinner in Rome a tourist was served, with strawberries, still growing on the parent vine, in a common earthen pot which was concealed by a sash of wide ribbon, she thought this was the last wore with regard to serving food at the dinner table. It remains, however, for a New York florist to work what seems like a miracle. He claims to be able to grow lettuce while you wait—crisp lettuce for dinner to eat with your broiled spring chicken. When asked to reveal his secret he said: "I take a handful of lettuce seeds that have been soaked over night in alcohol and I plant them in a box containing three inches of loam and quicklime. I water this well, and in ten minutes the seeds burst in twenty minutes two tiny leaves push through the earth. The leaves grow and multiply. In an hour they are as big as dollars. Then you may pluck and eat them. They are delicious—a feta salad. Sometimes when I give a dinner party I have one of these little prepared lettuce beds in the center of the table. The guests see the lettuce grow, and when the time comes for the salad course there is their salad blooming before them all ready for them to pluck." Considering what marvels in the way of cooking are accomplished with the chafing dish and denatured alcohol stoves, and scientific marvels like this, we may reasonably expect to see the lamb driven in alive, slaughtered, and cooked before our very eyes. 1 TORTURING TWINGES Much so-called rheumatism is caused by weakened kidneys. When the kidneys fail to clear the blood of uric acid, the acid forms into crystals like bits of broken glass in the muscles, joints and on the nerve casings. Torturing pains dart through the affected part whenever it is moved. By curing the kidneys, Doan's Kidney Pills have eased thousands of rheumatic cases, lumbago, sciatica, gravel, neuralgia and urinary disorders. A COLORADO CASE "Every Picture Tells a Story" John T.

For hours on hours they lie there, secretly resolving, "Let me make myself less a sorrow to others than I was yesterday." And these are the victories, grander far than those of war. When these moral conquests are extended over months, perhaps years, the heroic sufferer's room often becomes a chamber of comfort to all who are unhappy. What a triumph when to the chair of some grand martyr come the friends of a wide circle that her gentle hand may wipe away their tears. These are the uncrowned queens of our race.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The failure of the negro public schools to accomplish their mission is evident in the examination of applicants for admission to Prairie View—unsuccessful applicants. For example, the writer asked an applicant what a noun was. He could not answer and yet he had "finished" the sixth grade in a certain negro public school. There are many such cases, enough to reveal the inadequacy of the negro public schools in Texas. Texas spends more for negro education than any state in the Union and pays its negro teachers the best salaries. But there is a crying need of better teaching. The trouble is not so much the ignorance of the negro teacher and their indifference to the acquiring of good method in the schoolroom, and above all the lack of industry and application on the part of both teachers and pupils. The county superintendents naturally visit the white schools most. Yet the negro school needs supervision the most. Perhaps the county superintendent could appoint a faithful, honest and competent negro teacher, who would not traduce or under-estimate her fellow teachers, who would aid in reforming the negro schools. The writer believes that if there were a more general interest taken in the negro schools by the school authorities and the white leaders, ministers, merchants and lawyers and doctors, there would be better negro schools. But too often no one ever enters a negro school except the pupils and their teachers. No one seems interested and the teacher is left unto her own devices and her chief occupation gets to be, in some instances, the mere "marketing time" and drawing her monthly modicum. Public servants need to be held to a strict personal accountability. Swiss national exposition will be held in Berne in 1914. "Uncle Irving" is dead at the age of 104, relates the Cincinnati Enquirer. The industrious ex-slave, whose picturesque figure was familiar to patrons of the Sixth street market, where he was employed, celebrated his one hundred and fourth birthday last Monday by taking a holiday, and on Friday he breathed his last. His funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon in the Calvary Baptist church. The aged darky was of that vanishing school, the ante-bellum negro, whose naive winsomeness and wholesome simplicity endears him to all, especially southerners. "I lives right with Gawd—that's all." This was "Uncle Irving's" invariable reply when asked for his creed and formula for his long life and contentment. He had clear memories of the days when the eighteenth century was young. Born in Warsaw, Ky., in 1808, he lived in slavery until his fifteenth year, when freed by President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. The half century of slavery was a span of pleasant years for him, he often said. He always spoke gratefully of his first master, Thomas Brown of Warsaw, who bought him when he was five years old for $500. He would also speak proudly of the fact that he one time brought $1,600 on the block. For years "Uncle" Irving Brown had been a zealous member of the Baptist church. He often represented his church at conferences and meetings in other cities. Three times he was chosen a delegate to Yellow Springs. He was a trustee of the church until the day of his death. St. Martin's college, a Protestant Episcopal school for colored boys, which has been occupying a building at 173 Catharine street, Philadelphia, is endeavoring to find a location in the country where it may reopen as a farm school. Several desirable farms within easy access of the city have been investigated by prominent churchmen and laymen of the city. Because of insufficient funds to finance this proposition, however, no specific negotiations toward the proposed change have as yet been completed. An attempt has been made to interest the wealthy laity in the city in order to receive their moral and financial support in the new movement. Active solicitation and advertisement of the scheme have not been resorted to, for it is believed that when a suitable situation has been chosen the necessary funds will be forthcoming. Recently a wealthy layman of Glen Loch has intimated that he might be able to provide the requisite means and farm to establish the enterprise in lower Chester county. Other possible sites are being withheld, pending the negotiations for the property near Glen Loch. TULSA, OKLA., STAR CAN CULLINGS Booker T. Washington, president of the National Negro Business league, delivered the principal address at Philadelphia. He spoke in part as follows: "This, the fourteenth meeting of the National Negro Business league, marks also the fiftieth anniversary of our freedom as a race. It is, then, both timely and fitting that this great gathering of the representatives of the backbone and progress of our race should be held in Philadelphia. It is most appropriate that this meeting should take place after 50 years of freedom in this city, where 137 years ago that immortal document, the Declaration of Independence, was issued. Whether the American negro was meant at that time to be included within the scope and meaning of the words of the Declaration of Independence has been a debatable question. However that may be decided, we mean as a race through this and similar organizations to make ourselves such a useful and potent part of American citizenship that in all the future no one will dare question our right to be included in any declaration that relates to any portion of the body politic. "During the 50 years of our freedom we have been subjected to some pretty severe tests. First, there were not a few who raised the question as to whether or not the American negro could survive in a state of freedom. We answer that question by showing that when freedom came to us we were 4,000,000 in number; now we have grown to over 10,000,000 free American citizens." An electrical meter has been in constant service in New York for 17 years and is still accurate. The march of the Tenth cavalry, a negro regiment, from Ft. Ethan Allen, Vt., to the camp of instruction near Winchester, Va., has not attracted much attention, but it was a fine performance. The distance traversed was 705.90 miles and the route was through five states and over several mountain ranges. The start was made on June 16, and Winchester was reached on July 19. Four days the regiment rested, and the average day's ride was 23.53 miles. The weather was generally hot, the maximum temperature being about 100 degrees on several days. One horse died of colic; three, overcome by heat, were shot, and eight were left on pasture for their own good. The ages of the horses ranged from five years to twenty-three—it appears the veteran survived. One hundred and thirty-eight pack mules shared the march, and all trotted into the instruction camp in good condition. No hospital returns have been published, but the troopers doubtless did better than the horses. Negro soldiers are hardy and merry on the march, making light of the hardship and discomfort. The Tenth is a crack regiment, as every one of its white officers will testify, and it had been stationed for a long time in a salubrious country. Perhaps, remarks the New York Sun, there are white regiments in the army that could have ridden from Vermont to Virginia in quicker time than the Tenth, but none could have finished the march in better temper and under better discipline. The Chinese have a saying that an unlucky word dropped from the tongue cannot be brought back again by a coach and six horses. For testing the germinating qualities of seeds quickly an Iowa man has patented a cabinet something like an incubator, warm moisture rising through the walls and dropping on the seed trays. Seventeen-year-old Dora Gray of Salem, Ore., is a page or pags in the state senate, and it is the first time in the history of the Oregon legislature a girl has held such a position. A New Yorker has invented a motor truck with four rear wheels instead of two, so mounted on short axles that the load is equally distributed among all of them regardless of the roughness of a road. Biography is useless which is not true. The weaknesses of character must be preserved however insignificant or humbling; they are the errata of genius and clear up the text. In these modern days, you cannot hide the light of the city that is set by a waterfall, nor stop the growth of the one with a waterfront.

Asheville, N. C.—Mrs. Minnie Wright, of R. F. D. No. 1, this city, says: "I don't think there is any medicine made that would have done me the good Cardui, the woman's tonic, did. I have five children to work for, and I praise Cardui for giving me the good health to do it. I was in a delicate condition, on account of a relapse of measles which left me in a bad shape, and I also had severe headaches and backache. Was in too bad a fix for anyone to live, it seemed to me. I was told that my only chance was an operation, but I decided to try Cardui instead. I only took two bottles, and now I am well and strong again. 年 I don't believe there is any medicine on earth that will help suffering women as Cardui will. I have already gotten several ladies to try it, and I am going to continue to recommend your medicine." For more than 50 years, Cardui has been successfully used in the treatment of womanly ills. It has been found to relieve women's pains, and strengthen women's weakness. If you are a woman, and suffer from any of the alliments peculiar to your sex, we urge you to give Cardui a trial. It has helped more than a million women in the past half century, and will do the same for you if given a fair trial. Your druggist sells Cardul.

In endeavoring to present houses that all could afford, even at present prices, we have learned to economize in ways that otherwise would not have been thought of. Particularly is this true in regard to space that heretofore has been wasted in angles and irregularly shaped rooms. We are learning that by making the rooms compact we can accomplish as much in a moderately proportioned house as we previously did in houses much larger. We gain much by throwing the small rooms together with wide openings, thus getting the effect of large, airy apartments. In these days of flats and apartment houses small families are not accustomed to living in a great big 6 0 3 0x house with a parlor and sitting room and one or two chambers. Consequently the story and a half cottage is becoming very popular, and the bungalow even more so, having all its rooms on one floor. One large livable room is a splendid substitute for the parlor and sitting room. The small kitchen is very popular among the modern housewives, especially among those who are accustomed to the small kitchenette of the flat. The small house diminishes the fuel bill and is much more easy to care for. Many home builders are of the opinion that pantry is a waste of space. The cupboards can be much more conveniently arranged about the kitchen where they are in easy reach. There is an independence about owning one's home that is not felt when a rented flat is occupied. And there is a pleasure about caring for the lawn and garden, keeping the place in order, that one who pays rent does not have. Every time you go out into the yard your chest expands just a little as you contemplate the fact that you are treading your own ground.

"Women traders!" exclaimed a prominent broker, throwing his hands above his head. "Never again. And I'll tell you why." He walked over to the ticker and glanced at the tape a moment and then resumed: "About five years ago a lady friend of mine came down to the office and wanted to buy some stock. "I want something that is a good investment," she told me, "a stock that pays a seven per cent. dividend and one that will always pay it." "Well, I told her I thought so-and-so was a good buy, and that I thought it would always be able to pay its seven per cent. The market was 102 and she bought 100 shares, giving me her check for $10,200. She went away and in a week or so the stock rose to about 125. "A few days later she came to the office, but the market had bad one of TULSA. OKLA. STAR CAN HOME DFORD EDITOR flat below taking lessons on a piccolo. The design here shown is of a story and a half cottage embodying many of the ideas mentioned above. It is 34 feet wide and has a length of 28 feet, exclusive of porches. This house has been designed especially for the family of moderate means that has an ambition to own a home. It is not expensive, and the best possible advantage has been taken of the space requirements. The cost of this house should not be above $2,500 complete. The compactness of the design is the noticeable feature about it. Both of the porches, the front and the rear, are under the roof. This adds much to the artistic appearance of the house, and in effect these porches can be made out-door living rooms by the addition of screens between the pillars. This will be a matter of small expense, and when equipped with chairs, rugs and couches, either swinging or stationary, will be delightful places in summer evenings. As a matter of fact it is the experience of most families who occupy houses of this kind that nearly all the time is passed on the porch. This house can be built of frame construction and finished either with siding or with plaster. We would THE HOME OF THE MOTHER OF THE GIRL advise the latter as being ultimately less expensive as to upkeep, for it will require no paint, although costing at the outset a little more than siding. The ultimate cost will be much less and besides the appearance will be better. Another attractive feature of this house is the bracket effect produced under the eaves. It makes a finish to the design. Now as to the interior. That is the part the women folks are interested in. You go into the house into a wide hall that extends well back, ending in the staircase that leads to the floor above. On either side are the sitting, or living room, and the dining room. In front of the windows of each of these rooms is a seat. The dining room has a cheerful fireplace and past this you go into the pantry, and thence into the kitchen. The kitchen is of ample size and well arranged. A wide hall, two chambers and a bathroom are provided on the second floor. A balcony over the front porch is provided either for comet gazing or for a breath of air on a hot summer night. those healthy reactions and her stock was selling for 95. "'I think I'll sell my stock,' she said. 'I don't like the looks of this market.' "I sold it for her and had the cashier make out a check for $9,500. When I handed it to her she nearly fainted. "'Why, I gave you my check for $10,200 and you are only giving me back $9,500.' she cried. "I explained to her that she had sold it after it had declined. "'But you told me I was buying a stock that would never go down,' she insisted.

STREET CLEANING LONG AGO Franklin's Autobiography Telle New He Promoted the First Contract Job in Philadelphia. Recently at one of the luncheons of the City Club of Philadelphia there was read an extract from the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin which was read to describe the first instance of street cleaning by contract in Philadelphia. The incident is interesting also, however, as illustrating citizen co-operation in its original simplicity. "One day," Franklin wrote, "I found a poor industrious man, who was willing to undertake keeping the pavement clean by sweeping it twice a week, carrying off the dirt from before all the neighbors' doors, for the sum of six-pence per month, to be paid by each house. I then wrote and printed a paper setting forth the advantages to the neighborhood that might be obtained by this small expense. I sent one of these papers to each house, and in a day or two went around to see who would subscribe an agreement to pay these six pences; it was unanimously signed, and for a time well executed. This raised a general desire to have all the streets paved, and made the people more willing to subscribe to a tax that purpose."—The Survey. 7 --- A. J. SMITHERMAN Mrs. O. B.

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 "Bhelton 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 editor received an anxious reply from the coolful artist, saying, "I note that you wish me to use Bhelton. I should do not know of any such wash not do any of the dealers out here.

Payne There is not a question of more importance Either on earth or in heaven above As the one so often queried and seldom answered— Love is that which takes posess ion Of the human heart and mind, In regards to tender care and feeling. Could you a better answer find? Love is an impending crisis Originated by the Lord for the soul of man. It breaks into the heart, you can not defy it. With mysteries you can't understand. Love is master of human destinies. If you possess it all ends well. But, a heart that's never known it. Of your fate I will not tell. Love is like a glorious sunbeam. In this world it plays its part. It brings either joy or sorrow To each and every moral heart. Love is the creation of braves and patriots. When you hear the battle cry. It's because they love their country. Brave men live to fight or die. Love is the parent of virtue. It combines man to the opposite sex It is love that gives wit and wisdom. From love the clergyman his text. Love is the father and mother of ambition. The mind is inspired from realms above And most every known invention is invented by the means of love. Love gives all the world its' gladness. Tis love that gives us our friends; Love is the cause of our existence; Love will save us in the end. trol, is headed by O. D.

DON'T GET TOO SEDATE Play Is as Good For Grown Persons as For Children. Play is just as necessary to keep grown man young and a middle-aged man from growing old as it is to make child grow into a man. Word worth's lines are as sound physiol- good poetry: My heart leaps up when I behold The world is mine. In childhood we play because we are young, in middle age we are young because we play, and if we keep it up we shall never know that we are old until we are one day suddenly dead. Yet the abused idea is grown up, and Mrs. Grimley, unleashed it with her usual fatness, the play is something undignified for a grown man and unbecoming in a life. And this unfortunately is one of the rare instances where "thinking man it so." After a man has practiced the belief in the uselessness of exercise for half a decade or so and becomes fat and poupeus and red faced or paul and slack musculd and short while then the contortions that he inflicts in when he decides to unbend and try to play furnish considerably more entertainment to spectators than to his self.—Dr. Woods Hutchinson in *Ouing* In the Shadow of Fame. There are a number of former celebrities who are now running room in and boarding houses in New York city. Many a singer, actress or writer who formerly held a place in the public eye has now settled down to the prosat occupation of housing and feeding small portion or that same public. Their houses are a market for young persons with the artistic temperament. One woman who once enjoyed a fair reputation as a violinist has five furnished apartments which she wubbled room by room to aspirants for dramatic, operatic and literary honors. Received glory rather than physical comfort is the portion of most of these satellites, but the privilege of hobbitbling with yesterday's greatness companies for material discomfort.—New York Press. Cicero on Wit. There are witty sayings which carry a concealed suspicion of ridicule, of which sort is that of the sichian who when a friend of his in demeanation to him saying that his wife had hung herself upon a big tree, said, "I beseech you give me some shoots of that tree that I may plant them." Of the same sort is what Crossus said to a certain bad orator who when he imagined that he had excited compassion at the close of a speech, asked our friend here after he had sat down whether he appeared to have raised pity in the audience. "Very great pity," replied Crossus. "for I believe that there is no one here so hard hearted but that your speech seemed pitiable to him." Oicerco's Oratory. A Strange Likeness.

HOW KENTUCKY FOUGHT JOHN BULL A. W. MACY. Solomon has there been a more endured battle than that of New Orleans, fought January 8, 1815. So far as numbers were concerned, the advantage was with the British; for they had 12,000 soldiers, while General Jackson could muster rarely 6,000. In discipline, too, the British were far superior, for they were well trained veterans who had seen service on the battlefields of Europe. The American soldiers, on the other hand, were for the most part raw militia, pioneers in coo-skin caps and homespun clothing. But in results the one-sidedness was the other way. For three weeks Jackson had been training his raw soldiers, and when the British advanced to the attack they found the Americans strongly intrenched and well prepared to receive them. The slaughter was terrific. The British loss was about 2,600 killed and wounded, while on the American side only eight were killed and thirteen wounded. And the pity of it was, there was no need of the battle, for peace had been declared between the two countries. Among the American soldiers were many from Kentucky, and for peace afterward this song was often sung in that state: "Jackson led to the cypress The ground was low and mucky; There stood John Bull in mar There stood John Bull in mar- tial pomp, And here stood old Kent- tucky. And when so near we saw them wink, We thought it time to stop 'em; Lordl it would have done your heart good To see Kentuckins pop 'em." TRADERS If a merchant buys in carload jobs and buys for cash and does not credit any does not deliver, it stands to REASON that he can sell for less than those who buy in small amounts and then credit. It costs money to send out solicitors to get orders and then to keep up teams and automobile to deliver some. We save this expense.

A GOOD TIME ON "THE TRAIL" A GOOD TIME ON "THE TRAIL" PLENTY OF FUN BOOKED AT TULBA, OCT. 22-NOV. 1. Amusement Section of Dry-Farming Congress Named For Noted Like every other world's fair and great exposition, the International Dry-Farming Congress at Tulsa, Oklahoma, October 32 to November 1, will have its boulevard of amusements and concessions. In this instance it will be known as the "Irving Trail," bringing to mind the historical "Tour of the Plains" by Washington Irving in 1832. Washington Irving passed through the present townsite of Tulsa on this tour and camped on the Lost City hills overlooking the Arkansas river and valley. On the Irving Trail will be assembled the greatest aggregation of high class shows and wholesome amusement ever seen in Oklahoma. The attractions will line both sides of the trail, and at night the boulevard fun and frolic will be a blaze of electric illumination. Among the feature attractions on the avenue will be one of the greatest carnival companies in America; a wonderful congress of cowboys, cowgirls and Indians participating in the sports and pastimes of frontier life in the west, and a typical Ozage Indian village, containing in primitive surroundings hundreds of men, women and children of this richest tribe of Indians on earth. Flashing uniforms and martial music will also be marked features of the Congress and Exposition. One of the best concert bands in the country will furnish daily music. The United States government is sending the artillery band of forty pieces from Fort Sill, Oklahoma, one of the finest military bands in the service, to Tulsa for the entire ten days. A big detachment of United States troops from Fort Logan H. Roots, Arkansas, will act as military escort to visiting governors, senators, congressmen and foreign dignitaries and will be seen in daily maneuvers on the exposition grounds.

Aachen GAS, DYSPEPSIA AND INDIGESTION "Pape's Diapepsin" settles sour, gassy stomachs in five minutes—Time It! You don't want a slow remedy when your stomach is bad—or an uncertain one—or a harmful one—your stomach is too valuable; you mustn't injure it. Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its speed in giving relief; its harmlessness; its certain unfailling action in regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs. Its millions of cures in indigestion, dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach trouble has made it famous the world over. Keep this perfect stomach doctor in your home—keep it handy—get a large fifty-case case from any dealer and then if anyone should eat something which doesn't agree with them; if what they eat lays like lead, ferments and sours and forms gas; causes headache, dizziness and nausea; eructations of acid and undigested food—remember as soon as Pape's Diappesin comes in contact with the stomach all such distress vanishes. Its promptness, certainty and ease in overcoming the worst stomach disorders is a revelation to those who try it.—Adv. His Occupation. "I know a man who can supply affin- ties at short notice." "Who is he?" "My shoemaker. He makes a busi- ness of giving sole mates." THICK, GLOSSY HAIR FREE FROM DANDRUFF Girl! Beautify Your Hair! Make It Soft, Fluffy and Luxuriant—Try the Moist Cloth. Try as you will, after an application of Danderine, you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most, will be after a few weeks' use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first—yes—but really new hair—growing all over the scalp. A little Danderine immediately doubles the beauty of your hair. No difference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just molsten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is immediate and amazing—your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparable luster, softness and luxuriance, the beauty and shimmer of true hair health. Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any—that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment—that's all. Ady Hand in Hand. "It's queer how fashions follow politics." "Do they?" "Hadn't you noticed it? Why, no sooner did the political parties begin to split than the women came out with split skirts." MOTHER! LOOK AT CHILD'S TONGUE If cross, feverish, constipated, give "California Syrup of Figs" A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach sour. Look at the tongue, mother! If coated, or your child is listless, cross, feverish, breath bad restless, doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ailment, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," then don't worry, because it is perfectly harmless, and in a few hours all this constipation poison, sour bile and fermenting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. A thorough "inside cleansing" is oftimes all that is necessary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Adv.

BURGESS "If You Make Me Your Representative I'll Tell Them What's What and Who's Who." MELISSA CAN STAND ON HER OWN RIGHTS. Mrs. Merriwid sighed profoundly as she examined the slip of paper that had come to her in the morning mail. "Eight dollars and twenty-two cents!" she exclaimed, "and I know it oughtn't to be more than half that. I isn't it awful the way a poor lone woman is imposed upon?" "What is it, my dear?" inquired her maternal maiden Aunt Jane. "Gas bill," replied her niece. "There's no use talking, Mr. Rorer is perfectly right, I need a husband to protect me and I think it will have to be a large red-faced man, with a deep bass voice and a fiery eye—a man who won't stand for any rascally, rank robbery, by Jupiter—not from any swollen, insolent, grasping, conscienceless corporation nor anyone else." Mrs. Merriwid quote the breakfast table with her elenched fist with such energy that she upset, the cream pitcher, to her aunt's dismay. "Why, Melissa!" she remonstrated. "You see I know how it's done, but I haven't the physique," said Mrs. Merriwid. "Just because of that—because I'm a helpless unmistakable female who can't bellow or use forcible language. I've got to pay that company four or five dollars that they aren't in the least entitled to. What do you think of Mr. Rorer, dearie?" "I hardly know what to say," replied Aunt Jane. "He seems to have a great deal of force of character." "All of that," agreed Mrs. Merriwid. "If we took the contract of removing the briars from my path and strewing it with roses, you'd see a decrease in "If You Make Me Your Representative Who's the amount of the gas bills or there would be another monopoly busted. The baker wouldn't send us any more short-weight loaves and the butcher wouldn't give us lamb chops like these. Furthermore, I'd get three per cent. more out of my investments. All I'd have to do would be to stand behind him with a little cotton in my ears and let him do the talking." "I do really think that you have a great deal of responsibility," said Aunt Jane. "Haven't I? Well, I certainly have. Here's the entire care of the household on my mind, including Hilda—I have to tell that girl everything and then see that she does it—and any business matters that come up I have to decide for myself. It simply takes up hours of my time. I have to settle on what I want for breakfast and dinner and supper all by myself instead of merely asking the real head of the house what he would like and saving myself all the bother, and I have to listen to all the book agents and life insurance agents and peddlers and beggars and keep the accounts and write the checks, and I declare I hardly get ten hours of sleep out of the twenty-four. Anybody can trample on me. I was telling Mr. Rorer some of my troubles." "What did he say?" asked Aunt Jane "Quite a great deal," Mrs. Merriwid answered. "He got red in the face and said it was scandalous. Then he deepened to crimson and said it was outrageous. Finally he turned to purple and declared that it was atrocious and that he wouldn't put up with it for the smallest fraction of a second. "'I stand on my rights, Mrs. Merriwid,' says he. 'I know what they are and I'm going to have them or know TULSA. OKLA. STAR SUITORS OF MRS. MERRIWID BY KENNETT HARRIS the reason why. They can't monkey with me, any one of them; no, ma'am; and they know it. If they don't, they might soon find it out. They'll work you if they think they can, every time, just as they are working you now, but I give them to understand right at the start that I'm dead onto 'em, and there's nothing doing. I tell 'em what I think of 'em and I don't go round about the bush to do it, either. I don't let anybody walk on me for exercise. When I give a man a dollar for fifty cents' worth of goods. I want the worth of fifty cents and fifty cents back in change. Not forty-nine cents, you understand. I want what's coming to me without any deduction or discount, and I generally get it." "I told him he was lucky, but if he really got what was coming to him, I would be inclined to consider him as an object of pity." "Not lucky, ma'am," he disclaimed. 'I'm what you might call persistent and I make a point of asking for what I want loud enough for people to hear me without an ear trumpet. I don't stammer and say it's of no particular consequence if it isn't quite convenient. I don't care a whoop if it's convenient or not if I think it's something I'm entitled to. If I order a porterhouse steak rare and the waiter brings it well done, he takes it back in a hurry and brings me what I ordered. If he tries to argue the matter, I call the proprietor and I make it quite plain that I don't like the service. Now, that assessment of yours was excessive. Not the slightest doubt about it, and the board of equalization ought to reduce it, but it won't as long as nobody puts tative I'll Tell Them What's What and who's Who." up a vigorous holler and gives them to understand that their work is too coarse. 'If you'll make me your representative, I'll go down and tell them what's what and who's who.' "Thank you, tremendously, Mr. Rorer, but I've already got the matter adjusted,' I said. 'I put on my very fetchingest hat and my altogether beautifulest little suit and I saw the chairman and smiled my bewitching' est smile and explained it all to him, and he was too nice and sympathetic for anything and understood perfectly, and when the board met, I told them about it and they were just lovely and understood exactly how it was, and they cut the assessment in half." Aunt Jane gasped. "You never told me about that, Melissa," she cried. "Did you really?" "I really did," nodded Mrs. Merriwid. "If I were only a little vainer. I'd think I might do something about the gas bill, but there's a limit to everything—and the gas company is certainly the limit." "Still, I think you can take care of yourself," said Aunt Jane, admiringly. "I really believe I can," agreed Mrs. Merriwid. "If I couldn't I don't think I'd pick a man who stood on his rights to help me. I have noticed that however valuable he may be outside of the domestic circle, in it the man who stands on his rights invariably sits on the woman." (Copyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman.)

The bumps festered and came to a head and the corruption looked like thick matter, kind of a yellow color. The sores itched so badly until it seemed to me she would scratch herself to pieces and then a sore would form and her clothes would stick to her body and pull off the little seab. In some places she would scratch and irritate the sores until they seemed to be large. She was affected about a year. "I wrote for a sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I bathed her body in warm water and Cuticura Soap and then I applied the Cuticura Ointment, and they afforded relief after twice using. I bought some more Cuticura Soap and Ointment and inside of two weeks she was cured." (Signed) Mrs. J. R. Greggs, Nov. 21, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

Roup is prevalent in flocks xept in filthy, damp, poorly ventilated quar. ters. Vigorous stock in good sur roundings proves quite resistent to the disease. Common colds do not develop into roup if the specific germ is not pres ent. The common belief is that roup is developed from a neglected cold. ‘This is not the case, although it sup: plies the conditions so that the roup germs can easily get a foothold. For the benefit of those who have been unlucky enough to get this ter- rible disease introduced into their flock I give the following successful way of combating roup First,* re- move all conditions which tend to fos ter it, next, remove all affected birds 4s soon as discovered. Place them in a clean, dry room, of even tempera- ture, that is free from draughts of alr. If you desire to doctor them, treat as soon ub the earliest symptoms are detected. Disinfect the poultry house and runs with a five per cent, solution of carbolic acid and repeat this disin- fection at least once a week. Feed a well balanced ration containing some meat scraps. Burn all dead birds. A far developed roupy chicken is worth more dead than alive. One good rem- edy is to put a few drops of kerosene oil on the affected fowl’s head, This is also excellent for common colds Peroxide of hydrogen and water half and half, or creolin or carbolic acid in two per cent. solution may be used in the same manner, One of the remedies, that as a rule gives the best results, 4s a solution of two ounces of perman. ganate of potash in six pints of water. Submerge the fowl’s head tn it just long enough to prevent it from ufo: cating. A good preventive 1s to dissolve two ounces of permanganate of potash in twelve parts of water and give to all the birds to drink at least three times a week and on such days xive no otter water to drink, Remember, the very best preventive is an abundance of fresh air without draughts, plenty of sunshine and sani- tary surroundings, and guard against introducing the germ. COCHIN IS FAVORITE BREED Four Varieties, Each Having Single Combs and Differing Only in Po'nt of Plumage Color, The question is frequently asked, what {s the best breed of chickens? The answer depends entirely upon what purpose you wish them fort and can be answered best by yourself, ‘The larger birds are intended as a combination fowl, le, to produce both eggs and meat ‘n desirable quan: tities, while the smaller and more ac tive breeds are considered the egg machines, and many breeders of them claim excellent table qualities for them, which no doubt they possess, the only objection being their small size. ‘The Cochin is an old and popular breed and has four varieties, each having single combs, and differing only in point of plumage color, which fs: Buff, partridge. black and white, the buff being the preference. ‘Their weights are: Cocks, 11 pounds; cock- erels, 9; hens, 8%; pullets, 7.

It is an idea that Captain Jackson is not better known by all the people of this city. But then, it is quite natural for truly great and good man to be modest and refrain from notorities. The Tulsa who phoneths himself; who prints billboards, posters, etc. of himself, who constantly seeks publicity is too much of a petulant to be either good or great. It is gratifying to the colored citizens of Tulsa to have the greatness of one of their citizens extolled by an outsider. Captain Jackson is indeed a good man and incidentally a great man.

Napoleon was not the only great man born on the island of Corsica. Pasquale de Paoll, one of the great patriote of history, was a Corsican. For more than two and a half centuries Corsica had been under the control of the Genoese. In 1755, under the leadership of Paoll, she throw off the Genoan yoke. For fourteen years thereafter Paoll administered the affairs of the island, and did it wisely and well. He brought about many reforms, and encouraged commerce and the arts. In 1769, having "purchased" the island from the Genoese, France landed an army of 22,000 soldiers. Paoll with a few thousand Corsicans met them boldly, but was badly defeated. With his little army reduced to 637 men and surrounded by 4,000 French, he cut his way out and escaped to England. The French conquered the island, but at a cost of more than 10,000 men, nearly half of whom were killed. Paoll remained in England twenty years. At the outbreak of the French Revolution he returned to Corsica and became military governor. He soon broke with the French, however, and returned to England, where he died in 1807. Eighty years afterward his ashes were removed to Corsica and entombed with great honors. Lamartine, the eminent French writer, said: "Corsica remains still. In the place of a mere province, but Paoll assumes his place among the ranks of great man." THE BIG SALE THIS WEEK ON BLANKETS AND UNDER WEAR IS AT HARLOW BROKERAGE MAIN STREET STORE. ADV. The officers in Bartlesville have thrown out the drag net to clean out all of the rough lower element of negroes following the assault and robbery of a young white man by two negro men and their female companion. There is no question that this element of people is a constant menace to any community and the officers should at all times keep them on the move. Too often this class of people work hardships and suffering on the good people of the community because of their acts and this paper favors cleaning them out wherever and whoever they are. We do not know the moral condition of the citizens of Bartlesville but from all reports the police of that city would do well to throw another drag net for the white people of the same class. The police department of this city is entitled to the credit of being one of the best regulated in the southwest and they have wonulous MEN who are not afraid to do their duty. There is at present a very friendly relationship existing between the white people and colored people of this city as it should be in every city. To keep this pleasant relationship existing between the races in this city the police department needs to give a little more attention to East Archer street after night. A number of people have complained of a certain class of white men frequenting this street after night for the sole purpose of being in the company of the low street walking class of colored women who may be found at almost any hour of night sauntering up and down East Archer. These same men would scorn to sit with one of these women in a public place in the day time and would be first to "cast a stone" at a negro man even charged with a like offense with white women. Unless the police department does something to remedy this evil the carcass of some of these high toned white men will be found somewhere along East Archer and the police of this city will be called upon to repeat the stunt of the Bartlesville authorities.
