MUSKOGEE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS Takes Practical Course In Manual Training Vol 2, No. 9 MUSKOGE SCHOOL Takes Practice Manual NEEDLD STUDENTS BUILD A GOOD HOME COMPLETE. Mustogee, Okla., Dec. 11. (special in the Star.)—Out at Eighth and Emporia streets, a block east of Franklin street school, there is being erected a little cottage that when completed will represent a cash investment of $700. Every cent of that money will be spent for materials in the house; every penny will be paid by check by pupils of the Manual Training high school for Negroes; and every stick of wood in the building will have been hewn, sawed and put in place by Negro boys between the ages of fourteen and twenty years, all the result of the generosity of John W. Sharpe, a Negro real estate dealer, whose interest in the vocational training of Negro children comes before the natural desire of a man to spend his own money for his own use. Of course, Sharpe will own the house when it is completed, but he has had or will have nothing to say with regard to its building. The whole plan is part of the system of training Muskogee's Negro boys to be good and careful mechanics; honest custodians of money; and honorable in the discharge of any and all duties. Last year the Muskogee Board of Education and Superintendent of City Schools Edwin F. Monroe conceived the idea of having the manual training class at Central High School build such a house as the Negroes from Manual are now constructing. But the plan failed for want of a backer, because nobody could be found who wanted a house of the right size. The plan was taken up this fall by A. C. Perdue, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, former instructor in carpentry there, and present instructor in manual training at Manual Training High School. Perdue was a local contractor before taking the manual position, and he made good at his work. The plan was broached to Mr. Sharpe, and he immediately deposited $700 in a local Negro bank and told Perdue to begin work on a lot owned by him at Eighth and Emporia. Accordingly, a line of credit was arranged for Perdue's pupils at local lumber yards, and the work began. Now the house has risen to the gables, and the window and door frames are being completed, and the pupil carpenters are about ready to start shingling. They have bought all the materials, and have done every bit of labor, even to laying the foundation, with the exception of "trueing" up the corners. This was done by a Negro stone mason, also a Tuskegee graduate. There are thirty-two students engaged in the task of building the house. One class, the younger boys from the eighth grade, work from eleven to twelve-thirty two days a week. The other two classes, older boys, work from one to four every afternoon, under the direction of Perdue. They are all proud of their work, and as consciences as if they were to draw pay for their labors. The practical application of manual training in the building of the house is termed an unqual- SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, DEC. 13, 1913 ified success by Superintendent Monroe. When the house is built the domestic science classes from the colored high schools will probably "entertain" the board of education and their visitors at a "spread" in the new house. What does Sharpe think of his investment? Why, he's so pleased with the house so far that he has announced his intention of moving from his own comfortable home, and taking up his residence in the pupil built house as soon as it is ready for occupancy. EASTERNSTAR Elect Officers The ladies of the Eastern Star met last Friday at the Cleaver-Cherry Hall and after dispatching the regular routine of business went into an election of new officers for the ensuing year which resulted as follows: Mrs. Callie McGregory, W. M.; Mrs. C. Degran, Asst, W. M.; Mrs. Mamie T. Hutchins, W. See.; Mrs. O. W. Gurley, W. P.; and Mrs. Dora Wells, W. Treas The ladies promise a very successful administration for the next year's work of the Eastern Star. Mrs. Kelley In Missionary Work There is at last a guardian angel in the east end who will watch over the flock of little destitute colored children of Talsa. She is Mrs. Ellen Kelley of North Frankfort, who has for some time nurshed a pet scheme to establish an orphan home in this city. Mrs. Kelley is all absorbed in her chosen work and says she is determined to make it a success. There is a great need of such work in Talsa and the better class of people here will surely lend a helping hand. Mrs. Kelley's hope is to have a home for the orphan children and old people who are unable to provide for themselves. She is delegated to the work by the M. E. Church, but she, of course, will recognize no denomination in her work. City Buys Lot City Buys Lot The city has purchased an entire block between Boston and Cincinnati, south of Brady and north of E. Archer. While it is not admitted now that the city contemplates erecting any buildings worthy of note, in all probability the city hall and other municipal buildings will eventually go up on this ground. If this prediction comes true, the property north and east of this block will become much more valuable, because the town will naturally build in these directions. No doubt the shrewd real estate man has already taken the hunch and will list all the property he can in this district. A Hint To The Wise In every community there is always to be found the fellow who continually assails the faults and shortcomings of his neighbors, but never says anything of his own—the fellow who tells you of his good qualities and of the bad qualities of the other fellow—that self-ophionated fellow who is foolish enough to believe or to try to make you believe that he is a saint and the other fellow a devil incarnate—who boasts of his superior intelligence in everything and how far the other fellow has missed his calling—the fellow who whines about the crookedness and unfair dealings of his neighbor and at the same time is a pastmaster at double-crossing and unfair dealings with his friends. And sooner or later this fellow is usually exposed in a way that seems to be a just retribution from heaven, and he suffers, to a greater extent than the poor devil he tries to harm. There is but one course for any man to follow and meet with ultimate success, and that is the honest, manly way. Of course, it is sometimes a difficult road, but it always proves the best course in the end. It is no disgrace to be unable always to keep your promise or to meet just obligations, but it is certainly dishonorable to smile in a friend's face and knife him from behind or to try in any way to add weight to his already crushing load of unjust accusations and other burdens. It's better to be what you are, by far, than to say you are "what you ain't." LOCAL NEWS Miss Ethel Walker and her father, J. W. Walker, of the rural district were visitors in the city Saturday. The editor is a full-fledged batchelor this week, his little family having gone to the country on a visit. J. H. Goodwin of Mississippi is in the city looking for a business location. Mrs. Cleavel was a friendly caller at the Star office this week. The concert given by the High School Tuesday night was a complete success, bespeaking much credit to Prof. Woods and his pupils.

It's better to be what you are, by you ain't." My Life's Story By Billy McClain FOURTH SERIES. They put me on the end. They asked me what song I had to sing. I didn't have any, so they gave me one, thinking I would not learn it by night. So when my time came to sing the music played: they all looked at me to see me faint. I sat still until the time for me to pick up chorus. I threw a back somersault, began bouncing in the air. The audience began laughing and I bounced to my seat, sat down and you could not hear your ears. The applause made me take several bows, then I went off the stage and stopped the show. That made everybody sore. The leading comedian, Bob Kelly, said he wouldn't work if I went on in front of him. They put me last: it was no different, and The School Question The article of J. B. S., which appeared in last week's issue of the Star, has caused considerable comment pro and con and many have censured the writer for the open expression of his views pertaining to the city schools, which, as we understand the conditions set forth in said article, if justly founded, are very timely and in place, and the writer assures the editor that he has thoroughly acquainted himself with the facts as touching the subject of his article. We do not propose to discuss the article one way or the other, except to say that whether the writer was justified or not, it is certainly a fact that the parents and patrons of the schools of this city, particularly the colored schools, need to interest themselves more in the teachers of their children and the methods of instruction employed in the class rooms as well as other qualifications of the teachers. It is a grave mistake for the patrons of any school to ignore or to regard lightly the duty they owe their children and the community by taking little or no part in the selection of good competent teachers. We do not mean to say that the teachers now employed are not competent. They may be or they may not be. But we do say that whether they are or not should be a fact well known to the patrons of the schools. If they are they should be upheld and encouraged; if they are not for the well-being and benefit of the children they should be removed. But the people will never know anything about the qualifications of the teachers unless they take more interest in their own children and their teachers. Many a boy and girl have gone through school and come out illly prepared for the intellectual battles of life and their parents ignorant of the fact until their son or daughter, who have toiled and strived so hard to educate, makes application for some position and is turned down because they are not able to pass the examination. But it is then too late. The girl or boy now must "get by" the best he can, which they usually do, sometimes to their discredit. Who is to blame? The article of J. B. S. suggests the existence of a condition in the school system of this city which is not altogether new in other localities. For years it has been talked that political "pull" and other influences are sapping the life out of competency in the school rooms of this state. Is it true? Here is food for thought. Our children are entitled to the best teachers obtainable and it is the duty of every parent to see that they get the best. It is impossible to do this, however, unless the parents do heir full duty. Be it distinctly understood that the Tulsa Star has but one motive in taking this stand in the school question and that is to uphold what seems to us to be the best interest of the community. On this line we will ever be found fighting. soon I had his job. As the time rolled on they put me in to play a part in the Blackwell Twins. Rev. W. H. Buchanan of Wiggen, state grand lecturer of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. and grand secretary of the K. and L. of H., delivered a lecture at the First Baptist Church here Thursday night to a large audience. His remarks were timely and well received and no doubt influenced many to consider connecting themselves with the order. While here Rev. Buchanan called at the Star office and left the minutes of the last Grand Lodge meeting of the K. and L. of H. to be printed. The condition of the latter order he says bespeaks much credit for the Grand Protector and his able assistants. The Christmas issue of the Tulsa Star will be a "humdinger."

Our advertisers, realizing the value of the Star as a medium for sure results, have swamped us with advertising matter, too late for us to add more pages, hence the lack of reading matter. But what we lack in news we make up in a good substantial and reliable line of advertising which will, after all, mean more to you than all the news we could print. We hope you will take advantage of the bargains to be found in the advertising columns of this issue. We take this means of calling your attention to the different advertisements because we know you will thank us for so doing when you return home from your early Xmas shopping tour and realize what time and money you have saved by taking our advice and selecting just what you want from the advertisements in this paper before leaving home. In this way you not only save yourself time and money but you also save the tired salesman or sales girl lots of unnecessary work and worry—and don't you think they would appreciate it? Of course they would! It is for your benefit that we make this suggestion. It does not matter to us whether you act upon our advice or not. We will be paid just the same. But we feel it our duty to try to help our readers in every way we can and we certainly consider this a very effective way to help you. If you do not find what you want in the many advertisements in this paper, you will probably find it in some of the other papers. But we can assure you of courteous treatment only from those who ask for your trade through the columns of the Star.

The accompanying — {ilustrations show a house design especially adapt- ed to the needs of suburban or coun- try building. The requirements for & dwelling house for such a location are different in a good many respects from those in a city. More attention Should be paid to the matter of mak- ing the house ax nearly fireproof as Possible; for in the country, as well as in our smaller towns and suburbs, there is little or no fire protection, Accordingly, if @ building once takes fire, nothing, as a usual thing, can be done except to watch it burn. Of course, the fire risk from adjoining buildings is much greater in thickly settled communities; but the fire fighting apparatus which {8 quickly available more than makes up for this extra hazard. The only wise and logical thing for & man to do when he plans to invest & large amount of money tn a subur- ban or country home, is to build it fireproof, With the modern- building materials now available, it is very easy to do this; and the cost, although considerably more than for frame, 18 certainly not excessive when the fire protection, the enduring character of the house, ete., are taken into consid- eration, For the accompanying design, a thoroughly fireproof construction ts employed. The beauty and home-like atmosphere of this house make any expenditure, however large, seem worth while that will make It abso- lutely safe and enduring, no matter where it is built The walls of this house are formed of two by sixinch studding, well braced; but they are covered both inside and out with expanded metal lath. The outside is plastered with cement plaster applied in three coats; thus there ts fully one inch of nature's most fire-resistant material—cement— on the outside of this house, com- I Ponce I . a mee Quine FOOM ft ta 7 wena oa “¥ namion ponced Tene } | First Floor Plan. pletely surrounding tho steel reinfore- ing and thus protecting it against rust. ‘The inside surface of the walls, and tho surface of all the interlor partitions, are composed of one coat of cement plaster on expanded metal lath, with a finishing coat of hard wall plaster. The floors of this house are formed of hollow terra-cotta tile made in nar- row flat panels, between reinforced of corrugated steel sheets resting on a light steel framework? The corru- gations are deep enough to prevent any bending of the sheets between supports. Waterproofed cement plas- ter ts spread over the sheets in a coat about one inch thick, completely filling the corrugations, This method would certainly make « fireproof roof, and the cement could be easily col ored to make an effective contrast with the side walls Native square stone {s used to very ‘good purpose in this design, for the large chimney and for the porch plers ‘and arch. This stonework gives the ‘house gn added appearance of stabil ity. The arrangement ef the house leaves little to be desired, The fleor- plans show a large parlor or iiving room, dining room, kitchen and recep- tion hall on the first floor.

CULLINGS TYULBGA, \ORLA, 8ETAR ‘The high mortality rate among ne- groes ‘rom communicable and pre ventable diseases was held up as @ grave menace to the general health of the south by speakers at the conven- tion of the Southern Medical associa- tion at Lexington, Ky. Three thou- sand physicians, representing sixteen southern states, are in attendance. Statistics were given to show tuat typhold fever, malaria, measles. sca let fever, whooping cough, diphtheria, tuberculosis, and pneumonia are re sponsible for more than 10 per cent. of all deaths among negroes. These same diseases also are responsible for more than 20 per cent, of deaths among the whites, The high mortality rate among the whites was pointed out as directly traceable to the prevalence of these diseases among the negroes. The necessity for raising health standards especially among the ne groes and of inaugurating a campaign of prevention was urged by the speak- ers. It was pointed out that negro citizens live under the wofft sanitary conditions through poverty, racial {n- feriority, and neglect. But they min- gle with the white population in the stores, factories, kitchens, and nurser- fes, and so spread the diseases which are prevalent among them. ‘The health of the negro, therefore, was declared to be the most !mportant subject before the south today. The burden of this problem, it was said, devolves on public officials, sanita rians and sociologists. Accurate ob- servation of living conditions and ex: perimental methods were urged. The speakers declared no field {s so barren of sanitary achievement as the better. ing of the health and conditions of the negro, and that none 1s more worthy of painstaking effort, presenting as it does the promise of far reaching re sults of the utmost importance to the southern states, Twenty-two years ago Jonas W. Thomas, a negro of Marlborough coun- ty, 5. C., began his career as a farmer by buying an old horse for $40.75, and by renting 30 acres of South Carolina land for 1,400 pounds of lint cotton. After four years of hard work .and close saving he was able to buy a mule for $69 and also 67 acres of land. ‘Then he began renting and working farms which belonged to other men. Gradually he was able to buy the land he had been renting. He also found it worth his while to open a commis- sary. Now Thomas Ives in a 12-room ‘house and employs on his $40,000 plantation 39 famiiles, consisting of 189 men, women and children. He grows » variety of crops, including cotton, corn and some garden truck, and raises his own horses, mules, cows and hogs. He has received as much as $31,000 for his cotton crop alone—400 bales of long staple. On an average he has saved $3,000 a year for 22 years. All that he now has on the farm 1s his own, “directly and in- directly,” he affirms with justifiable pride. In a single year he has bor- rowed of one local bank and repaid $23,000, “Good credit,” so ‘Thomas says, “explains a fair share of my success,” Modern football is a direct descend- ant of an ancient Roman game called “harpastum,” in which the object of the players on each side were to seize the ball and carry it, by some means or other, across a line marked on the ground in the rear of their op ponents At the present time the Tuskegee institute has an endowment fund of $1,901,468.32, and {ts total receipts from all sources last year were $359,- 493.94, an increase over the previous year of $61,433.60, while its expendt- tures for the year, exclusive of new buildings, were $275,767.97, a de crease of $48,337.75, These figures at once testify to the practical inter- est shown in the institution and to its efficient management. A very hopeful item {n the account of receipts for the year lies in the fact that $2,544 was contributed in small sums by negroes and one legacy of $10,000 was left to the Instjtute by Mrs, Ann Marla Fisher of Brooklyn, N.

There is a campaign on in New York for the purpose of raising $4,- 000,000 for the local branches of the Young Men's Christian association and the Young Women’s Christian associa- tion, The work {s progressing splen- didly, the enormous sum of $2,663,011 having been raised in the first ten days. It is evident, therefore, that the money desired will be forthcom- ing. : ‘The campaign has been a popular one, and although a great many con- tributions of large sums have been recetyed, there have been thousands from people of mederate and even scanty means. This shows the wide- spread interest which is taken in the movement by the people generally. In the United States 9,000,000 ne- groes at least belong to the ordinary hard working classes. In all our planning for business success we will not, can not succeed unless we get close to these hard working masses. They are the backbone of our race.

FARM POULTRY WHY POULTRY IS VALUABLE Canadian Expert Gives Eight Reasons in Reply to This Pertinent Question—Good Anywhere. Why is poultry valuable to the farmer? is a question asked by hundreds of tillers of the soil who usually keep but a few chickens, and these a mixture of all breeds. Professor Gilbert of Ottawa, Canada, gives the following reasons in answer to this pertinent question: 1. Because he ought, by their means to convert a great deal of the waste of his farm into money in the shape of eggs and chickens for market. 2. Because, with intelligent management they ought to be all-year revenue producers, with the exception of possibly two months during the moulting season. 3. Because the poultry will yield him a quicker return for the capital invested than any of the other departments of agriculture. 4. Because the manure of the poultry house will make a valuable com- THE DUCKS A Mixed Flock. posite for use in either vegetable garden or orchard. The birds themselves, if allowed, will destroy all injurious insect life. 5. Because, while cereals and fruits can only be successfully grown in certain sections, poultry can be raised for table use or layers of eggs in any and every part of the country and at all seasons. 6. Because poultry raising is an employment in which the farmer's wife can engage and leave him free to attend to other departments of farm work. 7. Because it will bring the best results in the shape of new-laid eggs during the winter season, when the farmer has the most time on his hands. 8. Because to start poultry on the farm requires very little capital. DON'TS FOR THE POULTRYMEN Idaho Instructor in Poultry Industry Gives Several Excellent Hints for Poultry Success. (By LILLIAN BLANCHARD, Instructor in Poultry Industry, Pullman, Wash.) Don't allow vermin among little chicks. Don't allow chicks to become chilled. Don't feed unbalanced rations. Don't overcrowd the chicks. Don't neglect to feed an abundance of green stuff. Don't neglect to cull continually. Don't feed spoiled grain. Don't hatch chicks late if you expect fall and winter layers. Don't hatch more chicks than you can care for. Don't set dirty or old eggs. Don't get dirty on our eggs. Don't allow sitting hens on the lay ers' nests. Don't expect results without work. Molting Is Natural. The molting of fowls is a natural process and not a disease, and no medical treatment is necessary or desirable. Feed molting fowls just as you would feed them at any other time only remembering that molting is done during hot weather and less carbonaceous food should be given than when the weather is cool. Oats, wheat, cut clover or alfalfa or any leguminous feeds may be used more because the weather is warm than that fowls are molting. Any sort of green food is good; so are beets, turnips, bulbs or tubers of any sort that they will eat. They should have little corn or other heat-producing food. AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION IN WESTERN CANADA AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION IN WESTERN CANADA Scientific farming can be pursued with more profit and advantage in Western Canada, probably than in any other portion of the continent. What may be achieved by it may be ascertained when it is known what has been accomplished by the thousands who have been following the occupation for some time and made a success of it with not even a theoretical knowledge. They "have tickled the land with a hoe" and become rich. But the question is how long could that continue. The soil and the climate and every other condition favor great results by a pursuit of such methods as a technical and practical knowledge will bring. There is in the writer's opinion no possibility of failure. Fully aware of this and also of the great potentialities that exist in Western Canada for the following of the profession of farming, as it could be developed and carried on in Western Canada, the various governments have established the machinery, that there may be developed a class of farmers, who in the possession of the rich soil of that country, with its abundant humus and its phosphates and other properties with which it is so largely endowed, will make of the country, the greatest farming portion of the known world. The Dominion government showed its paternalism years ago when it established experimental farms in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The benefits of these in the matter of practical education have been widespread, but the greatest benefit is to be observed in the immediate vicinity of these farms, where the occupants have brought their holdings into a high state of cultivation, and year after year sees an added value. The Province of Manitoba is supplementing this work by its excellent agricultural college, manned by professors of the highest standing in their various branches. That this work is appreciated is shown by the large attendance, not only of the farmer's sons, but by the farmer himself and also by the sons of business men and professors who intend following farming as a profession, and that is what it is fast becoming. The Province of Saskatchewan, alive to the necessity of a higher and a better system of farming, has in connection with its university an agricultural college and what it is doing today in the matter of education will be felt for all time to come, and it will not be long before it will be an easy matter to pick out the farms manned by graduates of this college, or the farms owned by those who have gained from the experience taught by their neighbor. The same may be said of Alberta. The university at Edmonton has a complete agricultural college. Full advantage of this is taken by hundreds of students anxious to better their agricultural knowledge, and fit them to take hold successfully of the lands that they expect to occupy. This province has also added demonstration farms in various parts, which are very successful, inasmuch as farmers visit them from all parts, and take advantage of educating themselves for short periods during each winter. Dean Curtiss of Ames Agricultural College, Iowa, says: "We of the United States think that we know how to get behind agriculture and push, but the Canadians dare to do even more than we do in some respects. They have wonderful faith in the future: they hesitate at no undertaking that offers prospects of results. More significant still is the wide co-operation for agricultural promotion, including the government, private individuals and corporations and the railroads." "Canadians are putting great faith in education for the development of their resources—not the old education, but vocational and technical. Provinces that have less than half the population of Iowa and much less wealth are appropriating more liberally for colleges and schools. Manitoba, for instance, has in the last two years provided about as much money for the building of an agricultural plant as Iowa has appropriated in half a century. It has given in two years $2,500,000 for buildings and grounds for its agricultural institutions. "Saskatchewan is building a plant for its university and agricultural college on a broader and more substantial plan than has been applied to any similar institution in this country. Yet neither province has more than half a million population." Lots of Health and Energy in this Big Family Package of Sunshine L:W.

"Dean Curtiss was much interested in the many other ways the Canadian government aids agriculture, aside from appropriations for educational purposes. They are aiding in solving marketing problems; they are encouraging better breeding of livestock by buying sires and reselling them at cost, and they are doing many other things of like character. "I found that the government is advancing from 50 to 85 per cent. of the money necessary to build co-operative creameries and elevators," said Dean Curtiss, "and it is doing it at a low rate of interest and on long time payments. Where cattle need breeding up, the government buys bulls of dairy, Shorthorn, or special dairy breeds and sends them in at cost price and on long time payments." The yield of grain in Western Canada in 1913 was excellent but not abnormal, wheat going from 30 to 45 bushels per acre, and other small grain with equally good averages.—Advertisement. Good Reason.

Visiting Divine Rather Sorry That He Had Coaxed Boy to Make Explanation. A noted New York divine tells the following story: One day he shared with the children of a certain Sunday school a pathetic incident turning upon the pitiful plea of a poor little girl for aid and the dollar that he gave her. Then he asked the children to guess what was the first thing the little girl bought. "Please, sir, a basket," piped up a small boy. "Right! Right! Now there is a boy who thinks," cried the pleased speaker. "Come up here to the plat form, sonnie, and tell us why you think she bought a basket. We want all these other girls and boys to learn to think too." The boy was unwilling to accept the distinction pressed upon him, but finally walked slowly to the platform. "Now my dear boy," encouraged the great visitor, "tell us why you think the little girl bought a basket first." "Because," answered the lad, after much coaxing and wriggling. "I was over in Hoboken last Sunday and heard you tell the story there." SAGE TEA DARKENS GRAY HAIR TO ANY SHADE. TRY IT! Keep Your Locks Youthful, Dark, Glossy and Thick With Common Garden Sage and Sulphur. When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussey and troublesome. For 50 cents you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use tonic called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy." You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant. You will also discover dandruff is gone and hair has stopped falling. Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and look years younger.—Adv. * Wholesale Execution Vice-President Marshall was journeying democratically—via trolley car—to the capitol when a negro in half-clerical garb edged his way next to him. "Reg you pahdon, Mistah Vice-President," said the neighbor, "but it would be a great pleasure, suh, if you would address our colored Y. M. C. A. some Sunday." "Well, perhaps I will," replied the vice-president. "Wait a little while, though; I'm very busy just at present. A little later I may be able to make an engagement to talk to your association and will be greatly pleased to do so." "Thank you, suh," was the response. "It will be greatly appreciated for sure. Senator Works of California addressed us last Sunday and he simply decapitated the entire assemblage."—Washington Herald. HEAD ITCHED AND BURNED 604 Greenville Ave., Staunton, Va.

HARD BLOW TO THE PESSIMISTS COLD HARD FACTS ABOUT THE OKLAHOMA AGRICULTURAL SITUATION. ELMER BROWN COMPILES FIGURES Elmer E. Brown, secretary of the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce and one of Oklahoma's foremost boosters, has compiled a statement of the agricultural resources of the state at this time, which is of unusual importance and interest. Mr. Brown is a statistician of recognized ability and his statements and figures are those of an expert and may be accepted without discount. Mr. Brown, in an address to the members of the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce, says. Oklahoma is still suffering to some extent from last summer's big scare. BROOKLYN Everybody said the wheat was a complete failure. It was not but it seems that nobody thought of correcting the false report. The oats crop was killed in the same manner, and then left for dead. Two months later we imagined the corn crop wouldn't feed the work stock of the state. The east still thinks so, and so do some of our own people who are never able to eradicate bad impressions from their minds. As soon as the corn crop was disposed of we found that the cotton crop would hardly reach 600,000 bales. And even our good friend alfalfa was attacked. Well, let's see what really occurred in the 1913 crop line. The United States crop report says our Corn is worth..... $48,000,000 Wheat is worth..... 13,605,000 Oats is worth..... 9,476,060 Total ..... $41,081,000 The United States crop reports say that last year our Corn was worth ..... $41,770,000 Wheat was worth ..... 15,072,000 Oats was worth ..... 7,988,000 Total ..... $64,830,000 The United States crop reports say that the last year's cotton was worth: $67,200,000 The gathering of this year's cotton crop is not completed yet, but it is far enough along so that a pretty accurate guess can be made as to what it will be. The conservative ones are guessing 900,000 bales, which would give in addition 450,000 tons of seed. Such a crop will bring $67,500,000. Plenty of Vacant Land on East Side In the greater number of counties in the eastern half of the state, less than three-fifths of the land area is in farms; two counties in the Panhandle also fall below this proportion. In the eastern half of the state, however, there is a group of eight counties, lying to the north of the center, which have between 60 and 80 per cent of their land in farms. The counties of the west half average 60 per cent of their land in farms. Extent of Irrigation in Oklahoma Of the 190,192 farms in the state, 137, or 0.1 per cent, were reported irrigated in 1909, according to the Thirteenth Census. The acreage reported as irrigated in 1909 was 4,388 acres, or less than one-tenth of one per cent of the improved land in The area to which enterprises existing in 1910 were capable of supplying water was 6.397 acres, and the total acreage included in irrigation projects completed or under way in 1910 was 8.428 acres. TULSA, OKLA., STAR The alfalfa crop is worth $3,000,000 more than last year's crop. The kafir crop is not as big in yield as last year's crop, but it is worth $2,000,000 more. Fall pasture is a big item this year and is worth to the farmers of the state, $5,000,000, against practically nothing last year. Now let's foot it up and learn where we stand: Gain in value of wheat, oats and corn $ 6,251,000 Gain in value of cotton 300,000 Gain in value of alfalfa 3,000,000 Gain in value of kafir 2,000,000 Gain in value of wheat pas- Year Total ..... $16,551,000 The foregoing total is what the most conservative believe the gain will be. I believe it will reach $21,000,000. But there is oil to be added. It has so increased in price and quantity that this year's production will be worth $20,000,000 more than last year. It is a comfort to know how Oklahoma stands among her neighbors. Mr. John Fields of the Oklahoma Farm Journal worked out of the government reports the following table giving the value of corn, wheat, kafir and cotton in 1912 per square mile: Missouri ..... 2,181 Oklahoma ..... $1,957 Kansas ..... 1,892 Arkansas ..... 1,798 Texas ..... 1,643 Oklahoma, per capita of popula- tion ..... $144 Kansas, per capita of population 112 Texas, per capita of population ..... 116 Arkansas, per capita of population ..... 69 Missouri, per capita of population ..... 60 Another feature of great interest is the geographical location of the state's population. It has been so often asserted that the wealth of the state lies in the east half that many even whose interests are in the west half have been converted to that belief. Investigation proves the statement to be utterly false. The United States and state reports show the agricultural productions to be largely in the west half of the state, while oil, gas and coal are largely as yet confined to the east half. The following table gives the percentage of productions in the east and the west halves of the state: 88,000 Items— East West 30,000 Area cultivated .34% 66% s say Cotton produced .48% 52% worth Corn produced .34% 66% Wheat produced .9% 91% cotton Oats produced .23% 67% is far Broom Corn produced .0% 100% accu. Alfalfa produced .9% 91% that it Kafir and milo produced .7% 93% s are Butter produced .33% 67% would Cattle owned .43% 57% seed. Hogs owned .48% 52% 0. Petroleum produced .98% 2% Value of Oklahoma Farm Land The average value of farm land per acre for the state as a whole is $22.49. in all of the south central and eastern counties of the state, with the exception of Muskogee and Tulsa, the average value of farm land is below $25 per acre, and the western and northwestern counties likewise fall below this figure. Between these groups is a belt of 18 counties, extending from the middle of the northern boundary of the state to the southwest corner, with land values between $25 and $50 per acre. Big Money in Small Things Blackberries and dewberries are the most important of the small fruits raised in Oklahoma, with strawberries ranking next. The total acreage of small fruits in 1909 was 2,745 and in 1899, 1,388, an increase of 97.8 per cent. The production in 1909 was 2,310,000 quarts, as compared with 1,476,000 quarts in 1899, and the value was $202,291 in 1909, as compared with $92,223 in 1899.

STAR SWEEPING CUT IN PARCEL POST WEIGHT LIMIT IN FIRST AND SECOND ZONES INCREASED TO FIFTY POUNDS SERVICE IS EXTENDED TO BOOKS Interstate Commerce Commission Approves Burleson's Changes.— Rates Cut and Weight Raised In All Zones Washington — Postmaster General Burleson's proposals to increase the weight limits of parcel post packages n the first and second zones from wenty to fifty pounds, to admit books o the parcel post and to reduce rates n the third, fourth, fifth and sixth zones were approved by the inter- tiate commerce commission. To reduce the rates for the sixth zone from 10 cents for the first pound and 9 cents for each additional pound to 9 cents for the first pound and 8 cents for each additional pound. It is provided by the postmaster general with the consent of the commission, "that the rate of postage on parcels containing books weighing eight ounces or less shall be one cent for each two ounces or fractional part thereof and on those weighing in excess of eight ounces the zone parcel post rates shall apply." This is to be effective March 16, 1914. Serious objections to the proposed change in the rates on books and catalogs were made chiefly by mailers of heavy catalogs, but the commission says it feels that the changes are in the interest of the public generally. Gold By Parcel Post. Consent also was given by the commission to admission of shipments of gold, gold bullion and gold dust in Alaska, and to and from Alaska in packages weighing not more than eleven pounds. The rate of postage fixed is two cents an ounce, or fraction thereof for all distances. "The postmaster general issued an order effective August 15, last, increasing the weight limit in the first and second zones from eleven to twenty pounds and materially reducing the rates of postage for these zones and stated at that time that this step was in the nature of an experiment," said a statement issued by the postoffice department. The number of parcels handled in the first and second zones since these changes became effective show an increase of approximately 16 per cent. The average weight limit has, also increased from 1.02 to 1.7 pounds per parcel and notwithstanding the great reduction in rates in the first and second zones, the average postage has increased per parcel from 7.7 to 10 cents. WANTS HALF MILLION New Albanian King's ideas on Salary are Extravagant Paris.—A half million dollars is the minimum salary demanded by the Prince of Wied as king of Albania.

Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the militant suffragette leader who was arrested at Plymouth on December 4, on her arrival from the United States aboard the steamship Majestic, has been released from the Exeter jail. Mrs. Pankhurst began a hunger strike immediately following her arrest. Mrs. Pankhurst was driven to a hotel. She appeared very weak and immediately went to bed in charge of a nurse. Mrs. Pankhurst is liberated on seven days' license. She intends to proceed to London at the earliest moment. NEW WAY WITH DISHES NEW WAY WITH DISHES WILL BE FOUND TO LIGHTEN HOUSEHOLD DUTIES. Once a Day Sufficient, With Proper Management—After Breakfast the Best Time to Perform the Necessary Work. It is astonishing to think that after centuries of housekeeping women should continue to wash dishes in the same old way. The mother of a girl who finished her college course last spring sends in to this excellent plan by which she and her daughter contrived to lighten their household duties very greatly. In the first place, it is a small family of four, and they wash dishes only once a day—in the morning. Does that sound slovenly to you? No, it is merely good management. After each meal the dishes are held under a spigot—the hot one if they are very greasy—and that takes care of the "horrid" part. They are then stacked carefully in a large wooden box which stands on the table conveniently near the sink. The lid is closed, the rest of the kitchen put in order, the pots put to coak in an inconspicuous place and the "co-operative housekeepers" are free to spend the afternoon or evening pleasantly. After breakfast, however, when plenty of hot water is at hand, they begin washing the glass and silver in a big dishpan of sudsy water. These are rinsed and dried; the rest of the dishes are washed, set in wire racks that one can get for that purpose and thoroughly scalded with hot water that comes directly from the spigot through a short length of hose, one end of which is slipped over the spigot and the other end of which carries a bathroom spray nozzle. This hose, by the way, is a home-made arrangement Most of the water having now run off, the dish rack is lifted on the news papered top of a sort of butler's tray on wheels. This tea wagon was also made by the college girl, who had had a bit of manual training. The wagon was then pushed into the pantry and by the time the second rack of dishes was ready the first was dry and ready to be packed on the shelves. It certainly is a pleasure to see and eat from those beautiful shiny dishes Of course, there were left the pots and pans, which had to be scrubbed and dried. But that isn't a bad job if one is not already tired out with drying and packing away numerous small lots of dishes. To be sure, it takes a great many dishes, but then no one thinks of washing the clothes every day because it takes a lot to keep going all week. After all if with proper organization one can get well done, all at once, whatever work is really necessary, why stick to an antiquated method? Sarango Macaroni. Sarango macaroni is another "tasty" dish. Take half a pound of macaroni broken into small pieces, and boll till tender. Line a dish with a rich short paste, which has been brushed with beaten eggs and covered with grated cheese so that the latter adheres to the sides as well as to the bottom. Into this pour about half the macaroni sprinkling lightly with the cheese, and then a thick layer of plum or raspberry jam, or orange marmalade. Add the remainder of the macaroni and fill the dish with a custard made of two eggs, a small cupful of milk and a pinch of salt. Cover with the crust and bake in a quick oven. This is good hot or cold, and needs no sauce. Coffee Mold. Scald one pint of milk, dissolve two heaping tablespoons cornstarch (I prefer flour) in a little cold milk or water, add two tablespoons sugar pinch of salt, one-half cup strong fresh coffee. Stir this into the scalded milk and cook until it thickens. Turn into a mold and set it aside to cool. Serve with cream and sugar. Old German Salad Recipe. Here is an old German recipe for a salad that is delicious for Sunday night supper when sweet things pall. Finely chopped, it is also an excellent filling for sandwiches. Soak any desired quantity of salt sardelles in water for several hours. Sardines put up in oil may be used instead of the soaked sardelles. Line a salad bowl with lettuce leaves and fill with stuffed olives, capers and shrimps or crab meat. Garnish with parsley and slices of lemon and pour over the whole a heavy French dressing.

A cynical young woman once said to me that she found cads more interesting than gentlemen, because you could always tell what a gentleman would do in a given situation, whereas you could never tell, in any situation, what a cad would do. Cads may or may not be the proper sport of cynical young women, but to the average busy creature the gentleman is wholly delightful in that he is wholly predicable.—Atlantic Monthly.
