A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING Are You For a Greater Tulsa? It's Up to You, Mr. Voter! Frank Greer Would Run Negro Porters Out of Town Speaker Admits Buying Bad Whiskey and Scores the City Administration Vol. 2, No. 23 Are You Fo Frank Greer W Negro Port Speaker Admit Whiskey an City Admi The city campaign is waxing warm and judging from present indications, is yet in its prime degree of enthusiasm. Another week of this campaign and the atmosphere will be pregnant with political dementia hotter than the blue blazes of Plutio with the Republican leaders still adding fuel to the flame. So far the Republicans and the Independents have had a monopoly on the political mass meetings, while the Democrats have seemed somewhat at ease. Frank Greer, former pioneer of Guthrie and well-known editor, spoke to a crowd at the corner of Third and Main streets Thursday night, and took up considerable time venting his spleen on gamblers, bootleggers, rooming house proprietors and "nigger" porters. Judging from his remarks, Mr. Greer holds an unborn girevance against some booze peddler who at one time sold him some bad whiskey, which he explained he bought for medicinal purposes. The Negro porters would all be run out of town if the wishes of Mr. Greer went into effect. No one objects to Frank Greer or anyone else cleaning out the indecent rooming houses in Tulsa, but we cannot see why or how running the Negro porters out of town would facilitate the work. The Negro porters are employed to drum trade for the hotels and rooming houses, and if white porters were employed their functions would be the same. But judging from Mr. Greer's line of argument, the Negro porters would at least make less obnoxious the immorality going on in such places. It is too bad that this campaign between white men could not have gone on without ringing in the poor, helpless, defenseless Negro porters, all of whom are employed by white men. There's no politics in the position of hotel or rooming house porter—no question involved which should call for public discussion, since it is a well-known fact that the relation of the races, throughout America, are well defined and amply portected. The fault for conditions mentioned by Mr. Greer is not in the servant, white or black, but in the lovers who stand between the inmates of these houses and the public decency. Many of these lovers are men of standing. Go after them. The poor porter is not to blame.

Colored Independent Club Holds Rousing Meeting Candidates Talk and Make Promises to Voters Hod Carriers In the Game The hod carriers and laborers of Tulsa met Wednesday evening at Cleaver's Hall on North Greenwood and combined politics with their regular business meeting. Republican candidates were out, as is usual during election times, and gave those present the usual arguments in favor of the old party, and the speeches took well with a large part of the audience, most of whom were inclined to stay with the party; yet there was a large following for the Independents and the Democrats. Seldom has there been a meeting of political significance in which opinions were so much divided. The expressions for either following were not unanimous, and able remarks, in their peculiar way, were made by many present. One speaker stated that his purpose in politics was to stay with his friends,—those who were inclined to give him a chance in life to make bread for himself and his family—and that in casting his vote he would be guided fery much by this idea. His remarks met with hearty applause. Another speaker said that every citizen who stood for a good citizenship in Tulsa was in favor of a pleasant relation of the races. The interest of the progressive white man was also the interest of the progressive Negro. In the matter of schools and public improvements the good people of Tulsa, who have investment here, know better than anyone else the needs of the city, and to be on good terms with them and to get a share of the labor necessary to the making of them we must be with them, all the way. It is to be hoped that our services to them and the city will be appreciated, and that whoever is elected, as individuals, will have friends among the negro people who will at least get some kind of employment to help them along. No pledges or promises were asked of the candidates present and the meeting adjourned to meet again, as a political mass meeting, before the election, upon call of the chairman. NOTICE!

Student Club Rousing Meeting alk and Make to Voters The Independent Republican club held a rousing meeting on the lower floor of the Cleave-Cheery hall Thursday night which was spectacular because of the heated talk of some of the speakers aside from candidates who were there. The colored people of the East end, according to J. J. Jackson, are demanding a proportionate part of the work done for the city and improvement of the streets in this part of town. He scored the Republican party for its duplicity regarding the colored people and said that he stood for clean-hearted men regardless of party affiliation. The candidates present, all Republicans, reminded the colored citizens of promises made two years ago by the Democrats regarding the streets, which promises have not been fulfilled, and pledged themselves to give the East end everything needed.

McCoy was charged with conspiracy in the murder of his wife, who was killed last summer at Orcutt Lake Park by Senia Johnson, who was recently tried and convicted, the jury fixing the sentence at 25 years at McAlester. The Johnson woman testified that McCoy influenced her to kill his wife and that he induced her to go to the park with him for that purpose.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The success of the Calhoun Colored school of Alabama is due to the harmonious co-operation of four elements in the teaching force, the southern white, the northern white, the southern negro and the northern negro. These elements are the more significant in a school which has thus far been of moderate size, and which, located in white, the northern white, the southern er-central Alabama, is distant from the centers of southern education. This educational co-operation seems natural and inevitable. There is no loss in the spirit of racial integrity, but a salutary race consciousness is inspired. No danger is evident, either to cultural inheritance or to normal development. In the broad field of negro education excellent results are achieved where either white or colored educators work alone. But peculiar effectiveness, indispensable for some phases of the work, is gained where all the available forces work together. The white leadership on this cooperation needs to be of exceptional quality. Social experience is required for relations which are not in themselves difficult, but which might become so without the social art. Necessary qualities for the white educators in this united labor are professional accomplishments, critical appreciation of those for whom they labor, patient faith in them, and a broad and deep religious life. To these qualities the colored participants in the work are responsive. The names, careers and associations of the white workers at Calhoun would surprise those who have not learned that the best service attracts the best servants without thought of reward outside the service. The increasing co-operation of the finest southerners in the education and uplifting of the negro is one of the most significant movements in our country. But this power needs to be still more aligned with the others. The presence of a representative southern gentleman in the working force of Calhoun is one of the most noted contributions to negro education. The inevitably rapid growth of the school includes the enlargement, already planned, of this element. Mr. E. B. Chestnutt has for his special task the oversight of the business affairs and agricultural methods of the colored owners of the thousands of acres which the school and he have given them opportunity to acquire. The intimate knowledge, tact, authority and enthusiasm of a representative of his class have been devoted to the task which has given Calboun its finest success and chief distinction. An expert agriculturist, a successful man of affairs, he is an invaluable counselor, guide and friend to these steadily ascending people. With the unfailing gentleness which comes of intimate comprehension, he knows also how to be unsparing in warning and rebuke, and, when necessary, unswervingly severe in action. He is beloved by every one he works with or works for. The characteristics of the finest type of southerner are emphasized in this service. Neither his social nor his political influence has been affected unfavorably. Exceptional qualities are, indeed, requisite for such pioneering; but more ordinary men may follow the path marked by a great soul. --- When a young man asks a girl for her photograph she classifies him at once as a matrimonial possibility.

TULSA, OKLA., STAR ICAN CULLINGS The education of the negro in the essentials, the "three Rs" and the rest of a good common school course, together with his education to a trade, has shown excellent results. The negro makes a good farmer, a good artisan, a good man in most trades, after he has had proper training. Leaders of the race are proceeding upon the theory that the best way to break down the barriers of prejudice is to make the negro a self-supporting, industrious, thrifty, useful citizen. This theory appears to have vindicated itself. Tuskegee institute has probably done more to break down prejudice against the negro in the south than any other single agency. The negro, for his own sake and happiness, should realize that the professions do not afford him the same opportunities as they offer to white men. The fact is that anything greatly different could hardly be expected. The negro has only had half a century of civilization in America, as against many ages for the white man. Under the circumstances he has done remarkably well, but he should remember that the old adage, "the more haste the less speed," holds good in race development as in most other things. The negro cannot reach the goal of the highest civilization and the greatest mental development as a race by any short cuts. He will progress more rapidly, more solidly and more satisfactorily if he prepares himself by going through the same experiences which have been necessary to every other race.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Afghanistan, the buffer state between British India and the Russian possessions in Asia, with an area of about 250,000 square miles and a population of probably about 5,000,000 Mohammedans (no census has ever been taken), is, with the exception of Tibet, the largest closed country in the world. Addresses were made by Dr. W. S. Montgomery, supervising principal of the thirteenth division of the public schools of Washington, and president of the board of directors of the Manassas Industrial school, and by James C. Chestnutt and Charles M. Thomas of the Colored Normal school, at a meeting of the Negro Farmers' Alliance of northern Virginia, held recently at the Manassas school, Washington. Prof. C. H. Yarborough, director of the school, conducted the sessions. Reports made by the farmers showed progress in cutting expenses, in raising stock, in improving the condition of women on the farm and in lengthening the school term as well as improving the service of the teachers in the rural schools. A committee on ways and means to aid the constructive work of the school was formed by the farmers. Appeals were issued for funds to meet current expenses as well as to increase the endowment. The present enrollment of students numbers 135. The third session of the meeting was given to entertainment by the student body under the direction of Misses Hershaw and Kennedy, teachers in the institutions and graduates of the Colored Normal school.

FELL BACK ON PLAIN ARTICLE Bewildered Young Housekeeper Felt She Could Not Be Very Wrong in Asking for That. Her wedded days had not yet run into months, and her ambition was to become a model housekeeper, although she was so young and so very inexperienced. Her husband had had occasion to criticize the butter sent them by their grocer; therefore, determined to remedy this fault, she started, brave and eager, to discover some of the better quality. So, "What is the price of your butter?" she asked severely of the man whose store she had briskly entered. "Butterline, 30 cents; dairy, 35," rat-tled off the storekeeper; "fancy, 38; creamy, 40; and table, 45—" She gasped, gazing blankly at the row of tubs, to each of which he had pointed in turn. "Haven't you any plain churned butter?" she inquired helplessly, "or. I might say, churnery butter," she added, her old spirit reasserting itself. —Woman's Home Companion. On Thin Goods.

I tried several remedies without any permanent improvement. "My breakfast usually consisted of oatmeal, steak or chops, bread, coffee and some fruit. "Hearing so much about Grape-Nuts, I concluded to give it a trial and find out if all I had heard of it was true. "So I began with Grape-Nuts and cream, soft boiled eggs, toast, a cup of Postum and some fruit. Before the end of the first week I was rid of the acidity of the stomach and felt much relieved. "By the end of the second week all traces of indigestion had disappeared and I was in first rate health once more.

After this the force is gradually dissipated, until after 20 years only about one-half of its original energy remains.

Price $1.00 FOR PERFECT OMELET DISH REQUIRES MUCH CARE IN ITS PREPARATION. Proper Amount of Yolks and Whites Is Important, and Knife Should Never Be Used in Serving—Must Be Eaten at Once. The art of making an omelet is an exact and delicate one, requiring judgment and regard to several "principles" of egg cooking. The pan should be thin, as quick cooking is of prime importance. To make a tender omelet, the number of yolks should exceed the number of whites. Up to 1840 the number of yolks was twice that of the whites, but more whites now enter into French recipes. But if there is too much white left, no art can prevent an omelet from being too hard. The egg omelet must not be liquid at all, but barely set. In serving, a spoon or fork must be used. A knife ruins its texture. For a French omelet break the eggs into a bowl, add as many teaspoonfuls of water as there are eggs, counting two yolks as one egg. For each three eggs add one-quarter of a teaspoonful of salt and a dash of peppers. If six eggs are used, three whites are better than four where quality, not quantity, is preferred. Beat them with a fork until a spoonful can be lifted as if it were liquid without clinging to the rest. Put in a tablespoonful of butter and melt in a thin pan, strain the egg into it, set on a hot part of the range and as soon as the edges begin to cook separate them from the edge of the pan with a thin knife or spatula; slowly, and gently, rock the pan back and forth so that the uncooked portion runs down next the pan, until the whole is creamy. Now commence the art of rolling. On the side next the handle start the roll, curling it over gently and letting the pan rest a moment on each curve long enough to brown it lightly, and turn on a hot platter to be eaten without standing and losing a degree of heat. Cool omelet is ruined omelet. For a three-egg omelet the formula is two whole eggs, two yolks of eggs, three tablespoonfuls of milk or one tablespoonful of water, pepper and salt. In poaching eggs the bottom of the skillet should be brushed with oil, then partly fill with boiling water that is not allowed to boil or simmer after slipping the egg in from the cup into which it has been first broken. If the water is slightly salted and a teaspoonful of vinegar added, it is an improvement. The eggs must not be old or the white will dissolve. Forty-eight hours after laying gives the best results in poaching. Let the yolk be nearly covered and do not disturb until the albumen has set. Remove with a skimmer. Fish Rigsoles. To a plate of cold fish add one-third as much bread crums, one finely minced boiled onion, the yolks of two eggs and one tablespoonful of butter. Season to taste. Make a rich paste and cut it into two-inch squares. Place a tablespoonful of the fish mixture on each square and fold with the pastry. Wet the edges with well-beaten egg and fry the triangles in boiling fat. Garnish with parsley and slices of lemon. Codfish Wriggle. Pick up a cup of codfish, place in saucepan with enough cold water to cover, let come to boiling point; drain and cover with cold water again; turn off as before. Thicken a pint of milk as for cream toast, seasoning well with pepper, salt and butter; now add the fish and half a can of peas and let all boil up. Have ready some nicely browned French fried potatoes and turn the cream, fish, etc., over them Brown Splice Cake. Cream one-quarter cup butter, add gradually one-half cup sugar, the beaten yolks of two eggs and one-third cup molasses, sift together one and one-half cups flour, one-fourth cup cocoa, one-half teaspoonful soda, one teaspoonful cream of tartar, one teaspoonful each of clinnamon and mace, one-half teaspoonful nutmeg, one-fourth of clove; add flour to the creamed mixture alternately with one-half cup cold black coffee.

IF BACK HURTS CLEAN KIDNEYS WITH SALTS Drink Lots of Water and Stop Eating Meat for a While If the Bladder Bothers You. Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of meat must flush the kidneys occasionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get irritated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoiding serious kidney and bladder diseases.—Adv.

ECZEMA ITCHED AND BURNED Falmouth, Ky.—"Two years ago I was troubled with skin and scalp troubles. I would have pimples that would break out and form sores on my face and head, with terrible itching. The eczema on my face and head itched and burned and when I scratched it, it made sores and I was very disfigured for the time being. My head became so sore I could not touch it with a comb; it became a mass of sores. My hair fell out gradually. "I was afflicted about a year before I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment and after using them three weeks I was getting better and in less than three months, after using eight cakes of Cuticura Soap and five boxes of Cuticura Ointment, I was completely cured of eczema."

Four horses abreast attached to a red painted prairie schooner, with windows and a protruding stovepipe, with the words, "Bound for Canada," on the schooner's side, was the object of considerable interest as it passed on the way northward from Nebraska a short time ago through the towns in Nebraska, South and North Dakota. After some weeks of strenuous traveling in this way, Mr. J. F. Jensen made the overland trip from Jameson, Nebraska, and with his little family made the regular customs entry at North Portal, in the province of Saskatchewan. Their destination was Willow Bunch, a district that Mr. Jensen had selected as one in which it was possible for him to work out his fortune. He located on a good half section of land, and intended putting on it some cattle that would fatten on the wild prairie grass that grows so luxuriously in that district. In addition to this his purpose was to cultivate a portion of it and raise wheat, oats, barley or flax. In short, a life devoted to mixed farming was what he had in view and it is easy to understand that he will make a success of it, and in a year or so will attach some more land holdings. Although his beginning may be small, it may safely be said that Mr. Jensen, like thousands of others who have begun life in western Canada on no more and with probably much less, will prosper. He will not be far from a line of railway. Schools will be close at hand and other social conditions so necessary in a new country are available.—Advertisement. Truly an Edition de Luxe.

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 mussy 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. Roman Stitch. Roman stitch is used only in conventional work and is used for covering leaves or the petals of a flower with a mid-rib. Begin the stitch at the top and work from side to side, bringing the floss well down on the rib each time. After the stitch is brought down to the center secure it with a cross stitch. Each stitch is fastened before the next one is taken and the tiny cross stitches in the center form the vein of the leaf.—Christian Science Monitor. No Wonder. "He slipped up on that article."

Alterations Free and Guaranteed --- DREAM OF CENTURIES IS REALIZED AT GAMBOA WHEN DAM IS BROKEN Free Waterway Across the Isthmus Created When President Wilson Touched Button—Possibilities Were Seen by Balboa—Story of the Panama Canal and of French and American Engineering. New York.—For more than 400 years the vision of a canal across the Isthmus of Panama has fired the imagination of the world, Frank Parker Stockridge writes in Popular Mechanics. The vision became a reality on October 10, 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson in the White House at Washington pressed a button which sent the electric current 2,000 miles to explode 40 tons of dynamite which blew up the last barrier to a free waterway across the Isthmus. "Gamboa's busted!" exclaimed the president as he pressed the telegraph key. The casualness of his remark was a tribute to the engineers of the United States army, to whom the digging of the canal has been simply "another job" in the routine of their regular work and one that called for no brass bands or special ceremonies to glorify it. With the same simplicity the first vessel to pass through the famous Culebra cut, after the breaking of the Gamboa dike had let in the water, was an ordinary rowboat, while a humble but useful tugboat was the first craft of any kind to make the passage through the great Gatun locks. While the work at Panama is still far from completed, yet the canal which the first Spanish explorers visualized is today an accomplished fact. On September 25, 1543, Vasco Nunez de Balboa climbed the peaks of the continental divide and discovered the Pacific ocean, which he named "the South sea." From where Balboa stood Copyright, Underwood & Underwood First Boat Through After Gamboa Dike Was Blasted. his new ocean lay directly south, because of the S-shaped twist of the isthmus, which brings the Pacific entrance to the canal not only southward but eastward of the Atlantic terminal. SLAYER HID IN BIG PRISON Man Wanted for Murder Allowed Himself to Be Caught in Burglary to Escape Search. Sacramento.—A country-wide search, covering almost three years, for Otto Shaumberg, the notorious "key burglar" of St. Louis and alleged murderer of Detective James Arnold of East St. Louis, has ended in a cell at San Quentin prison. Shaumberg was identified by William J. Mulconnery, sheriff of Le Claire county, Illinois. The police of every city in the United States have been on the watch for Shaumberg and $500 reward for his capture is authorized by Le Claire county. Shaumberg was betrayed by his cellmate at San Quentin, to whom he harrated the story of his criminal operations in St. Louis and East St. Louis. Sheriff Mulconnery was notified and extradition papers were signed by Governor Dunn of Illinois and filed with Governor Johnson two months ago. 400 the agaker an- on ent use ich to ich When Balboa's report of his discovery reached Spain, it was accompanied by the recommendation that a canal be immediately dug across the isthmus. What the explorer had in mind was a sea-level canal, for, although Leonardo da Vinci, the great Italian painter-engineer, had recently invented the hydraulic lock, now generally used for lifting vessels over elevations, it had not become widely known The discovery of gold in California in 1848 was followed by a tremendous volume of traffic between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, and for fifteen years practically all of this traffic was by way of the isthmus over the Panama railroad, opened in 1855 by Americans under a concession from the republic of New Granada, now known as Colombia.

First View of Canal Since Blowing Up of Gamboa Dike. said to have cost the life of a man for every tie, led to a much more accurate knowledge of the topography and geology of the isthmus than had previously been available. President Grant in 1869 asked congress to take up the matter of a canal. The only action was a resolution providing for an exploration by officers of the navy and the creation of a commission in 1872 to consider their reports. Then in May, 1876, the republic of Colombia granted a concession for the construction of a canal from Colon to Panama, the terminals of the Panama railroad. In 1894 a new French company was organized and work was resumed. In 1899 the United States congress created the isthmian canal commission to examine all practicable routes and to report which was the most practicable and feasible for a canal "under the control, management and ownership of the United States." The commission reported two alternative plans, one for a canal at Panama and the other across Nicaragua. It estimated the cost of a Panama canal at $156,378,258 and of the Nicaragua canal at $200,540,000. But because the route from New York to San Francisco would be several hundred miles short- Sheriff Mulconnery recently came to the Pacific coast to get a prisoner at McNeill's Island penitentiary and stopped over at San Quentin to identify Shaumberg, whom he had seen about East St. Louis. "Hello, Otto," Mulconnery said, and offered his hand to the convict. "My name's not Otto," Shaumberg replied, and he pulled back his hand. "I never was back there, and I don't know you," he added. "Back where?" queried Mulconnery. "Back where you come from," Shaumberg replied, and then wilted down when Mulconnery accused him of the murder. Shaumberg told his cellmate that after he had murdered Detective Arnold he hurried to the Pacific coast and permitted himself to be captured in the act of committing a burglary at Santa Cruz, Cal. He pleaded guilty under the name of Ray C. Jones and was sentenced to serve two years in prison. Shaumberg told his fellow convict he thought he would be safer in prison while a search for him was on than roaming around the country. er by way of Nicaragua, and considering existing French concessions in Panama, the commission gave it as its belief that the Nicaragua route was more desirable under the circumstances. The effect of this report was to induce the French Panama company to offer its concession to the United States for $40,000,000 in January, 1902. The isthmian canal commission advised the purchase and congress authorized the president to buy all the property of the Panama company, including a majority of the stock of the Panama Railroad company, and to obtain from Colombia perpetual control of a strip of land six miles wide, through which to build the canal. Colombia refused to grant this BYRON CO. control, but in November, 1903, ten months later, the state of Panama declared itself independent. Within a month a treaty had been negotiated with the new republic by which the United States was given control of a strip of land ten miles wide for the purpose of a canal. The French company's property was bought and in February, 1904, a commission for the construction of a canal was appointed. In May of that year work was begun where the French company had abandoned it. In June, 1905, a board of consulting engineers was appointed to consider whether the canal should be at sea level or with elevating locks. The canal itself, from deep water to deep water, is 50 miles long. Its general direction from the Atlantic entrance to the Pacific end is from northwest to southeast, the northern terminal being about $22\frac{1}{2}$ miles farther west than the southern entrance from the Pacific. The first seven miles of the canal beginning at the Atlantic end are at sea level. Five miles of channel, 500 feet wide, have been dredged to a depth of 41 feet directly south through Limon bay, and two miles of this sea-level section has been cut through low-lying land to the entrance to the Gatun locks, where the ships are raised, in three steps, to a height of 85 feet above sea level, into the great body of fresh water called Gatun lake.

POULTRY Overfeeding, Overcrowding and Lack of Fresh Air Cause Much Loss —Sell Surplus Stock. (By PROF. A. S. ALEXANDER.) Be careful in handling fowls, particularly ducks and geese. Ducks have very weak joints and it always injures them more or less to catch them by the legs. Overfeeding, overcrowding and lack of ventilation cause much loss among amateur poultry keepers. A large per cent. of the chicks die and those that survive are runty and undersized. Forgetting to provide grit causes indigestion and after a while it turns to cholera. Fall is the best time of year to purchase geese for next year's breeding. Geese do not mate as readily as other fowls and it is therefore advisable to procure them several months before the laying season arrives. If possible, buy stock that is at least one year old and mated. As a rule one should engage the stock sometime in the summer. Have the birds shipped after the weather gets cold. This gives the birds time to get accustomed to their surroundings. Send all surplus poultry to market as soon as the fowls are in proper condition. Unless one understands the process of forcing, it is seldom wise to wait for prices to go up. Cull out the backward looking pullets, keeping only the best and most prominent for egg production. Even in cold weather be vigilant and use the whitewash pall and brush at least once a week. The mites are busy A Chicken House Easily and Cheaply Constructed—Windows Are Well Arranged for Ventilation. taking the life from the bodies of our best layers and a louse-infested hen will not lay. Some people make the mistake of selling all the good birds and retaining the poor ones. Stop up cracks in walls and doors and do not allow drafts to blow in on the roosts. Top ventilation is the best, for foul air rises and if there is an outlet it will escape. The ventilator should be opposite the end where the roosts are. When the snow comes there should be paths shoveled down to the ground for the fowls to walk without getting into the drifts. Give warm water twice a day and empty the water fountains every night before they freeze. Potato and turnip peelings boiled and mixed with the morning feed are excellent for laying hens. Sweep up the hayseed and spread on the floor where the hens take their sun baths and let them scratch for the oats, wheat, buckwheat and corn sprinkled there. It will make them busy and warm and make the egg basket heavier, and the old hens will not grow so far. Regularity is an essential in the feeding of fowls. Cold water tastes good in winter; just remember that with the chickens, and note how they will leave the best food and crowd around the fountain. Skimmilk has a high value in egg production. Don't waste a bit The chick once stunted never fully recovers. Weed out the culls even if they must be sold at what may seem to be a sacrifice, and by thus getting rid of all but the best avoid having culls the next year. Let the turkeys have some range, even when fattening. Feed liberally all the grain they will eat three times a day, and they will lose less flesh in the little exercise than they would while chafing under confinement. Never leave a broken egg about the poultry house. Not only will it induce the egg-eating habit, but it is a breeder of lice. An old hen is not so apt to lay good fertile eggs as one that is a yearling. FRUIT LAXATIVE FOR SICK CHILD "California Syrup of Figs" can't harm tender stomach, liver and bowels. Every mother realizes, after giving her children "California Syrup of Figs" that this is their ideal laxative, because they love its pleasant taste and it thoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bowels without grinding. When cross, irritable, feverish or breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the tongue, mother! If coated, give a teaspoonful of this harmless "fruit laxative," and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. When its little system is full of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—remember, a good "inside cleaning" should always be the first treatment given. Millions of mothers keep "California Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a teaspoonful today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups printed on the bottle. Adv. The fool-killer doesn't exist.

Most of these have gone on farms in provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Lord William Percy, an English Nobleman, says: "The possibilities and opportunities offered by the Canadian West are so infinitely greater than those which exist in England, that it seems absurd to think that people should be impeded from coming to the country where they can most easily and certainly improve their position. New districts are being opened up, which will make accessible a great number of homesteads in districts especially adapted to mixed farming and grain raising.

"When Dicky Mears was sent west by his loving and long-suffering parent, with his ticket in one pocket and five thousand dollars in the other, and orders not to come home till he had made his fortune and a man of himself at the same time, Setango Gulch spotted a good thing. There sat Dicky in the White Horse hotel, owned by Ike Brown, sipping his lemonade and talking of his expectations. "You see, boys, I've been kind of wild,' he says. 'But I've cut out the drink for good and—well, it's this way.' And he showed us the picture of a girl with innocent gray eyes and light, fluffy hair and—well, you know the kind. 'She'll wait a lifetime for me,' says Dicky. And I allowed she would "He was a good thing, and even five thousand dollars is worth picking up, if it can be done easy. Now Ike Brown had about half a dozen worked out placer mines. They were pocket mines, meaning to say there wasn't any gold in them except a few pockets of the metal that had washed down from the mother lode about the time of the deluge, when the thin trickle of water that now ran there had been a roaring stream, and when they was emptied the gold was gone. Ike had picked the pockets dry and then salted them with gold dust fired from a shotgun for suckers like Dicky Mears. They were scattered here and there along the bed. Nobody was mean enough to warn Dicky, and as Ike had got him first it wouldn't have been gentlemanly to try to get him away till he was dry. "Though,' says I to myself, 'if it was me, I'd let him off for three thousand, may be, on the price of the Green Star, for the sake of the girl.' "Ike only let Dick stay three days in Setango Gulch, and what he didn't see in that time was a wonder. For instance, when the water carts come in from Montserrat, fifty miles away, which was the only way we had to get the stuff, he thought they carried kerosene, and his morning bath, which was worth twenty-five dollars a time, made like grit his teeth. So as soon as he could he got him out to the Green Star, where he left him with three months' grub and a heap of dynamite cartridges. 'Stand back after you've lit the fuse until you hear the explosion, Dicky,' says Ike. 'You'll find LOST SIM SIN STOLEN MISS BE WHAT'S FEET A HAPPY "What's That!" Yells Ike. enough water to dip up in your tin basin if you make a hole about the middle of the bed. Good-by. "Good-by," says Dicky, in a dream, and Ike rides home with Dicky's five thousand dollars in his pocket. "Just about three months later, when we'd forgotten Dicky, he comes into Setango, having walked all the way. He hadn't seen the color of gold. "That's too bad, Dicky," says Ike. 'Of course, it may be you didn't strike the vein. Why don't you write home for another five thousand, and I'll stake you to your board on the chance of your making the old man fall for it.' "A couple of weeks later two thousand comes, and the old man adds that his sentiments is about the same, only a little less cordial, and, anyway, that is to be the last. By the same post as he'd written to his father by, Dicky sends a letter to the girl. He said he'd had bad luck, and he thought it was his duty to let her go, but if ever he made his pile and she wasn't married he'd come back to claim her. "Ike was sort of glad that Dicky got his money, being a good-hearted sort of a fellow, and he agreed to sell Dicky the Blue Shank for his two thousand, and to throw in six months' outfit of flour and bacon into the bargain. So Dicky starts out again, and Ike smiles pleasantly and allows that he'll run down south for the winter, setting out just about the time that Dicky's due to return. "After three months had gone by I began to feel uneasy, somehow. You see I'd sort of taken a liking to Dicky, and it seemed to me that it was all right to sell him the Green Star, seeing it was experience he was getting, but that Blue Shank business sort of unsettled me. I hoped he'd hit upon a pocket somewhere on the Blue Shank property, though Ike had gone over it with a fine comb. And just as my hopes was beginning to sour me against Ike who should come on the scene but the girl. "She come in on the afternoon coach and puts up at Ike's hotel, and the first thing she does is, naturally, to ask for Dicky. "Dicky? asks Ike. 'Dicky Mears? Why, yes. He started out to work a property he bought some little time ago, about sixty miles from here. I'm sorry I can't take you there, miss, seeing as how I've got business over in Leeson's tomorrow, but I reckon Hi Frank would let you have a buckboard—" "That was as far as he got. I had drawn up close by to hear what Ike had to say, and I wasn't going to stand for no more gold mine sales. But like stopped short there, for in the doorway stood—Dicky! "He was scratched from head to foot and covered with blue mud, but the girl ran to him just as he was and he took her into his arms and she put her head down and just cried for joy. Even like looked a little foolish at that." "When she had done crying Dicky put his arm round her waist and turned to Ike. "What are you going to do about it?" he asks. "About what?" asks Ike. "About that seven thousand, you confounded swindler," roars Dicky. 'There wasn't an ounce of gold in either of those two mines, and I have information that you salted them after working them out.' 'Oh, pshaw!' says Ike. 'Them's good properties, Mr. Mears. I'd take them off your hands if I had the money, only I'm down to my last hundred just now. Maybe next summer I will—' "Oh, you will, will you?" sneers Dicky. 'I guess what you'll take back is a million gallons of water, and unless you take it I'll cram it down your swindling throat.' "What's that?' yells Ike. 'Water, did you say?" "I said water and I meant water,' yelled Dicky. 'You infernal scoundrel, you damned it back and sold me a river, and the first blast I made in the hard rock dislodged it. The whole bed's a roaring torrent.' "Ike waved him back. 'Dicky,' he yelled, 'I give in. I apologize. I'm anything you like to call me, but I'll give you your seven thousand this instant for the rights.' And he reached for his bank book. "Hold on,' says I. 'This is where I come in. I'll give you twenty thousand, Dicky.' " 'Thirty,' yells like. " 'Forty,' says I. " 'Have you all gone crazy?' inquires Dicky. " 'No,' I tells him, 'but if you've turned that antediluvian river back into its bed it means a fortune for Setango and an irrigation plant that'll reclaim about fifty million acres, not to mention free baths for everybody." " 'I'm sorry,' says Dick, real humble, 'but I nodded when Mr. Ike Brown said thirty, and I guess I'll have to let him take it." "Ike writes him out a check and I go sadly homeward. And that night Dicky is married and he and his bride lights out for the coast, carrying a suit case stuffed with bullion. "No, sir, there wasn't any water on the Blue Shank property." (Copyright 1914 by W. G. Chapman.) (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) Rapid Fall of Petroleum Level A recent article in Engineering is of somewhat panicky tone over the rapid waning of the world's supply of petroleum. The enormous increase in the consumption of petroleum products is shown by the fact that while at the beginning of the century the oil wells touched 1,100 feet in depth, now the average level of the oil has fallen to 2,000 feet. "America, by reckless expenditure of her resources, has increased her annual output to 200,000,000 barrels, yet the demand for oil for special purposes has become so great that the rise in price is considerable—so great, indeed, that competition with coal for ordinary purposes has become impossible." The United States bureau of mines has already issued a warning and urged improved methods. Too Good for the Poor. It was well known in Staggerly high society that the beautiful Lady Marion had never been kissed before. After a long, lingering embrace, the handsome young earl reluctantly released his hold, as she gazed up with unveiled admiration and rapturous joy, into his love-lorn eyes and asked: "And do the poor indulge in this way, dear?" "Oh, yes, quite frequently, little one," the young nobleman replied. "Really! Do they? And do they experience the same sensations as we do, darling?" "Absolutely." "Dear, dear, dear! Why, it's much too good for the working classes!"—illustrated Sunday Magazine. TULSA. OKLA., STAR INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) JESUS THE GREAT TEACHER. READING LESSON-Matt, 7:21-29. GOLDEN TEXT-"He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God."-Micah 6:8. There is no chronological order to the lessons for the past quarter, though they have all been selected from the period of the Perean ministry of our Lord. The thought of the Golden Text, rather than the reading lesson, will serve to give us a connected review. The lessons have chiefly concerned Jesus as the great Teacher, thus we notice the inclusive note of the first clause of the Golden Text, "He hath showed thee, O man, what is good." As an exposition of that note we have presented God's plan of action, outward, "to do justly, aid to love mercy," and inwardly "to walk humbly with thy God." With this thought in mind let us divide lessons of the quarters into two sections: (1) The first seven lessons which have to do with man's relation to the kingdom in its outward manifestation, and (2) the remaining five that have to do with "walking humbly with thy God." As Children. I. The first section. In order to keep this two-fold thought before us, we must observe carefully the several golden texts. In the first lesson we have set before us the manner whereby we are to enter into this new kingdom. We must enter as children and the Golden Text, "Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder . . . for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humple," illustrates the humility of children and the necessity of our right relationship to them. The second lesson deals with the possibility of cooperation with him in service, as when the 70 went before his face. Great privileges, however, when abused, bring condemnation and degradation. "It is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you." The third lesson—"The Good Samaritan"—is another expression of the outward walk of life, that of loving mercy. True love never asks who it may, but rather who it can, serve. It always manifests itself in sacrifice and in service—"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." The story of service actually rendered to our Lord in the days of his flesh is the subject of the fourth lesson. All other interests and ties must be secondary to our allegiance and obedience to him—"Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these, my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me." The fifth lesson concerns prayer. The parable of the unfriendly neighbor and the effect of prayer to bring about just relations is revealed in the Golden Text which is the heart of that lesson. "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." The sixth lesson still continues to treat this outward aspect and reveals to us the fact that great as Satan is, our Lord Jesus has far greater power. Must Walk Humbly. II. The second section. We now come to a group of lessons that seem to emphasize the second part of God's requirements, as expressed in the Golden Text for today, viz., "and to walk humbly with thy God." This is the inward, personal, relation with God, as against our outward, righteous relations with men. These remaining lessons deal with the abiding principles of discipleship which Jesus gave to his followers. The eighth lesson reveals the principle of a true confession of Christ to be that of the faith which makes fear impossible. We are to fear God alone. In the ninth lesson we see that the true fulfillment of life is that of having the heart set upon the true treasure, which is spiritual, rather than upon the false treasure which is material, for, "Where your treasure is, there will be your heart also." In lesson ten we have set before us the principle of faithful service which is that of watchfulness for the returning King, and which expresses itself in perpetual service in his interest and on behalf of his household. "Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he cometh, shall find watching." The principle of the religion of Christ is that of compassion (lesson 11), and the true sanction of the Sabbath is fulfilled in such service as makes the Sabbath possible to those who are in need. It is, therefore, lawful to do good on the Sabbath. CORNER FIRST AND BOSTON We Make Loans on Anything of Value.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES On year - - - - - $1.00 Six Month - - - - .60 Three Month - - .30 The fireworks has started in the city campaign, but the big guns have not been brought into service yet. It would keep a steed of the Nancy Hanks type and swiftness to keep up with the political meetings in Tulsa nowadays. The quiet, peaceful citizens are longing for the finale in the city campaign. But cheer up, good folks. This is campaign year. Every politician has his own peculiar side of the question and naturally enough expects everybody to view it from his standpoint. The streets in the east end are still in an awful condition. What do the hopeful candidates promise the people of this part of town in the matter of street improvement? From whence came the father of the "Black Socks" movement? And to what extent are they connected with the Negro democratic club which have no permanent quarters, but is called to order in the various pool halls? This is no place and no time for that kind of rot, Mr. "Leader." Better look for more congenial quarters. The respectable Negroes of this city will not tolerate your breed. When a man, an American man, becomes a candidate for office, he is really an amusin' cuss. Watching the different phases of the present campaign, one notices many types of man. Watching for the "clean campaign," to which every candidate is pledged, we find that issues count for little. Candidates must talk. They must talk about one another, and if what is said is to be taken as the truth, coming from each individual, the government will be in bad hands, whoever gets elected. Some people are of the opinion that the officials of a municipal government are wholly responsible for the moral standing of the people of the city. This is true with a great many citizens of Tulsa. The officials labor under a big handicap when owners of buildings permit their property to be used for immoral purposes, while they in their pious, sanctimonious garb of religious sentiment wink at the crime and abuse the city officials for permitting it. If such citizens would do their full duty the officers of the city could better do theirs. News Around the City J. S. KIRBY, City Circulator RESIDENCE,--215 E.Cameron J. W.
