Are You For a Greater Tulsa? It's Up to You, Mr. Voter! One Hundred Men Lynched Negro Woman At Wagoner Second Colored Woman Victim of Mob Violence -- Dozen Men or More, Since Statehood And Yet, Although These Mobs Go Unmasked, Not A Single Man Has Been Punished! Why Shouldn't Megroes of This State Arm Themselves to Uphold The Law? A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE Are You Fo One Hundred M Negro Won Second Colored of Mob Violence or More, Sin And Yet, Although T masked, Not A Sin Punished! Why of This State Arn Uphold T One hundred white men stormed the county all at Wagoner, Oklahoma. Tuesday morning and after overpowering the jailer took Marie Scott, a negro women, and lynched her almost in the heart of the town. The woman was charged with the murder of Lemuel Peace, a white man, who it is claimed she cut to death Sunday night. A newspaper dispatch from Wagoner reports the incident as follows: "A mob went to the jail before daylight and aroused the jailer, they covered him with a gun, took his keys and opened the negress' cell. They then placed a rope around her neck and led her a block away, where she was instantly hanged. The women made no outcry. So quietly did the mob work that the town was not aroused. The sheriff later removed the body. The authorities are investigating. Sentiment here is with the mob. Wagoner is one of the counties in which negroes, convicted of murder have had their sentences commuted by Governor Cruce. The white man who was killed was popular here and of good family. There was no provocation for the stabbing. Peace was walking along the street when the woman darted out from a house and stabbed him to death with a long knife which she plunged into his body time and again. The Tulsa Star made special effort to get the facts in the case by telephone, but failed to get anything definite. It is claimed, however, that the woman had lived only two weeks in Wagoner and that she was a prostitute. She lived in a district where this class of women reside and it is said the white man was in this community when he met his death. What business he had in a seggregated district of this kind is not known, but the logical inference is that he was there for immoral purposes with Negro prostitutes. Although newspaper dispatches from Wagoner say there was no provocation for the killing there are but few people who will believe that this was a true statement, in full.. It is well known that "Prominent white men" and "men of good families" in Wagoner and nearly every other town in the state are continually tresspassing the "color line," with the lowest type of Negro women prostitutes. Some of these men have families—lovable wives and children and happy homes; and instead of living the part of a MAN to these dear ones all the time they are frequently found using SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1914 the cover of night to live the part of a brute with prostitutes. This may or may no have been the case with the white man killed at Wagoner, but subsequent facts will probably show that it was. This makes the second Negro woman lynched in Oklahoma, and a dozen or more men, since statehood, but not a single man has been punished in any way for participating in the lynchings. These conditions are becoming very alarming and a serious calamity is sure to follow if something is not done to force all citizens to respect the law. These are the conditions that beget Black Hand Societies and similar organizations. The lynching of this woman seems to have been intended for a rebuke to the Governor's policy regarding capital punishment more than to avenge her alleged crime. The Star does not make any defense for the alleged crime committed by the woman. There's no defense we could make for the crime, even though there might be some illuminating circumstances yet undeveloped. And much less is there any defense to be made for the beastly cowarly brutes who murdered a poor defenseless women. There can be nothing but shame and contempt in the heart of any true man for the hellish villains who committed this basterdly crime. Will Judge Allen call a grand jury? R. T. HILL IN CALIFORNIA Reuben T. Hill, the defaulting cashier of the True Reformers Savings Bank of Richmond, has been located in California, where he has lived for some months, posing as a physician and living in seclusion, in a part of Los Angeles where no Negroes live. If Hill is returned to Virginia he will have to face a charge of embezzlement covering $45,000 to $50,000. A heavy reward is standing for the arrest and conviction of Chief Hill. CHIEF SAM'S COLONY Two car loads of Negroes of the Chief Sam emigration plan left the barracks of the company at Weleetka last week for Galveston. Those who are left at Weleetka are destitute and are seeking employment in any way and anywhere and at any price. Many of them are back to their former homes begging to be employed upon farms they formerly owned. The women of the remnant colony are washing and doing other work as domestics in the neighborhood just for their food and shelter. Sickness is among them and they are sadly in need of assistance. City Campaign Is Now At Fever Heat Okmulgee Colored School Ordered Closed The Colored teachers of Okmulgee are facing a perplexing problem which perhaps will find a solution only in the state courts unless the matter is soon adjusted by the City Board of Education. Last week Prof. W. H. Fort, principal of the Colored Schools at Okmulgee, received orders not to open school Monday morning because the Count- School fund, he was told, was exhausted, and there was no money with which to pay the Colored teachers. It seems that the City School for Colored at Okmulgee is financed from the County School fund, but is under the supervision of the City Board of Education. The teachers hold contracts issued by the City Board of Education and they hold that this contract is binding upon the board even though the County fund is exhausted the city will be compelled to sustain the deficiency and run the Colored Schools just as long as there are funds to run the white city schools Prof. Fort refused to close the schools and it is now thought the matter will be adjusted if it hasn't been already. SUMMER SCHOOLS FOR NEGROES Of fourteen summer schools for colored teachers, reporting 2,121 students to the U. S. Commissioner of Education in 1912, four were held in Virginia and had 57 men and 609 women in attendance. Hampton with 346 students and Tuskegee in Alabama with 305 headed the list. LOUISIANA NEGRO IS REPORTED LYNCHED NATCHEZ, Miss., April 1.—News of a lynching in an isolated section of Winn parish, Louisiana, Sunday night has just reached here. According to meager reports, J. P. McDougall, a farmer, had a dispute with Allen Turner, a Negro, after which the Negro struck the farmer with a hoe, inflicting a serious wound. A constable arrested Turner and when taking him to jail was confronted by a band of farmers who seized and shot the Negro to death. The political situation is at fever heat and "still a-heating." Every night this week street corner meetings have been the feature of the day and many dirty rags have been waved oy candidates on all side sor their friends. With the election only three days off it is now generally admitted that a second election will be inevitable. However, there are some old line politicians who predict a democratic success next Tuesday. Athers are equally certain of success for the independent bunch. There is at least a chance for all of the tickets and the candidates all seem to so consider it. A certain old timer in the political game yesterday gave it out as his opinion that this election would be the hotest contested and most uncertain ever held in Tulsa, and old "Ben" knows. News comes from Boley and Weleetka that followers of "Chief Sam" are going back to the soil. They are busy now looking for land to farm and places to live—a wiser and better people. "The Chief" is perambulating, is "up North" enjoying the comforts from his easily gotten coin from the fanatics of Oklahoma. Surffragette Movement Fails In U. S. Senate Vardaman Beaten In His Infamous Attempt to Repeal The 15th Ammendment Hunt Making Good Race O. D. Hunt, candidate for Commissioner No. 1 on the democratic ticket, is growing in strength as election draws near, especially so among the colored voters of this city. A story is told of this man which shows his true color as a man who has deep regard for his duty as a man and an American citizen. During the Dry Farming Congress meeting in this city last fall the story goes, Mr. Hunt was about to leave the fair grounds in his automobile when he noticed a crowd of Negro boys leaving the ground stor the city. He asked them if they wanted to ride, and of course the reply came in a chorus, "Yes, sir; yes, sir." He loaded them in, every one of them, and gave them a joy ride to town. Another white man, noticing the Negro boys in his car, said to h im: "Hunt, don't y ou know the public will ridicule you for hauling 'niggers' about in your car?" Mr. Hunt's reply came promptly and firmly: "If I can make a little Negro boy happy by giving him a ride in my car I will cetrainly do so, and then I have done only a small part of my duty to humanity." This was just a little incident, but it showed the calibre of the man and the big manly heart within him. Whatever else may be said of the Negro, he has never been found disloyal to his friends, and it is certainly a hopeful sign for the Negro to recognize his friends regardless of political parties. The colored people of Tulsa have not forgotten Mr. Hunt's part in location the concession for the Colored Dry Farming Association and many will support him to show their appreciation of his friendship. gn Is Now At r Heat Sapulpa News 一 Sapulpa, Okla., March 30th, 1914.

Senate en In His Infa- to Repeal The amendment Below we reprint from John Mitchell's paper, The Richmond Planet, an article which will be interesting and instructive to our readers, submitting, as it does, a few facts which will be evidence that politicians of the Vardaman type and the adherents of his policies do not by any means speak for their party: The Question of Suffrage. The fight for Woman Suffrage was not successful last week in the United States Senate. The vote to submit to the states a constitutional amendment to the Constitution of the United States, permitting women to vote, was lost by a vote of 35 ayes and 34 nays. It required a two-thirds vote of the membership of the Senate to secure favorable action upon the resolution. This meant the affirmative vote of 64 senators. It will be seen then that the Woman Suffragists had 29 votes less than the number needed. Senator Vardamann of Mississippi did not lose the opportunity to emphasize his hostility to the colored people of the country. He offered an amendment to repeal the fifteenth amendment. This amendment was offered for the purpose of disfranchising the colored people of the United tSates. The vote on Senator Vardaman's amendment was rejected by a vote of 48 to 19. The senators voting in favor of repealing the fifteenth amendment included Senator Martin and Senator Swanso not Virginia. Their names are: Bryan, Florida. Gore, Oklahoma; James, Kentucky; Lea, Tennessee; Lee, Maryland; Martin, Virginia; Myers, Montana; Overman, North Carolina; Ransdell, Louisiana; Reed, Missouri; Sheppard, Texas; Ehields, Tennessee; Smith, Georgia; Smith, South Carolina; Swanson, Virginia; Tillman, South Carolina; Vardaman, Mississippi; West, Georgia; Williams, Mississippi—19. Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi offered a resolution providing that only white women be permitted to vote. It was lost by a vote of 44 to 21. This ended the contention. It brought into the limelight the race question and showed just how many United States senators were ready and will to wipe from of the war between the states.

Greenwood, St., and its the best in town, boy. And is Glad to Do So, as She Was Denied this Privilege For Two Years. Richmond, Ky.—Mrs. N. V. Willis, of this place, says: "I suffered for over three years with womanly trouble, and tried many different treatments, but none of them seemed to do me any good. I had almost given up to die, when a friend of mine begged me to try Cardul, the woman's tonic. I got a bottle, and began to feel a great deal better after the first few doses. I then got four bottles, and after taking these I was cured. I don't know what a female pain is now, do all of my work, eat anything I want, and feel like a 16 year old girl. I never expect to be without Cardul in my house as long as I live, as I firmly believe it saved my life, and I will praise it to all of my suffering lady friends." Cardul is a purely vegetable remedy, containing no harmful mineral products. Its ingredients act in a helping, building way, on the womanly constitution. It has been relieving womanly troubles for over half a century, during which time it has proven of more than ordinary value as a tonic for weak women. You can rely on Cardul. It will do for you what it has done for thousands of others. Begin taking it today.

Reason the Guide Here is an excerpt from the Gentleman's Magazine of 1732: "Nobody doubts but that the natural Guide given to Man by God is Reason; if this be duly attended to, we shall act agreeably to Order and good Sense, and do nothing odd or extravagant. Wherefore it may not be amiss to expose the Oddness of a Custom among the Portuguese of wearing Spectacles for no other End but an Affectation of Gravity; so that if a person had a mind to be respectable, he must not appear in any Assembly without a pair on his Nose. And this is even affected by young Persons and Ladies." Nothing New to Operator.

CLEVER WIFE Knew How to Keep Peace in Family. It is quite significant, the number of pereons who get well of alarming heart trouble when they let up on coffee and use Postum as the beverage at meals. There is nothing surprising about it, however, because the harmful alkaloid — caffeine—in coffee is not present in Postum, which is made of clean, hard wheat. "Two years ago I was having so much trouble with my heart," writes a lady in Waehington, "that at times I felt quite alarmed. My husband took me to a specialist to have my heart examined. "The doctor said he could find no organic trouble but said my heart was irritable from something I had been accustomed to, and asked me to try and remember what disagreed with me. "I remembered that coffee always soured on my stomach and caused me trouble from palpitation of the heart. So I stopped coffee and began to use Postum. I have had no further trouble since. "A neighbor of ours, an old man, was so irritable from drinking coffee that his wife wanted him to drink Postum. This made him very angry, but his wife secured some Postum and made it carefully according to directions. "He drank the Postum and did not know the difference, and is still using it to his lasting benefit. He tells his wife that the 'coffee' is better than it used to be, so she smiles with him and keeps peace in the family by serving Postum instead of coffee." Name given by the Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Postum now comes in two forms: Regular Postum — must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum—is a soluble powder.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The American Missionary association is making a strong effort to raise $1,000,000.00 for the partial endowment of the following colleges: Fisk, Talladega, Tougaloo, Straight and Tillotson, for the education of our people in the south, writes Booker T. Washington. They are concentrating particularly on Talladega at present. I wish people might realize how far reaching the work of these colleges is in the development of the civilization of our country. I am constantly travelling throughout the South and other sections of our country, and wherever I go I meet strong men and women who have been educated at one of these institutions. The men and women from these colleges are succeeding as teachers and leaders in nineteen other occupations. Many of the strongest men in the pulpits of the large denominations, such as Methodist and Baptist, have been educated at one of these institutions. But for the presence and influence of such educated men and women it would have been impossible for us to maintain peace and order between the white and black people in the South during all these years. If anyone wants to help in changing the attitude of the white people in the South toward the education of the colored people, he cannot do it in a more effective way than by contributing toward the endowment of these five leading colleges for our race 'in the South. It was my privilege recently, through an invitation, to attend the meeting of the executive committee of the American Missionary association, and I have never met a body of men who were more unselfishly devoted to the welfare of the South than is true of these committeemen. I very much hope the appeal which they are making to the public will meet a hearty response. Those cities which have a large colored population show high death rates. It has long been known as a scientific fact that the mortality among the negroes is greater than among whites, and the returns from the various states and cities demonstrate this fact. For instance, when the death rate in Porland, Ore., is but 11.0, in Richmond, Va., it is 22.4; in Birmingham, Ala., 20.4; in Atlanta, Ga., 19.3; in New Orleans, La., 21.3, and in Baltimore, Md., 19.4. Here in Washington, where one-third of the population is colored, the death rate is 17.5, and in 1911 it was as high as 18.9. These figures for the national capital are more significant when it is remembered that conditions are vastly different from those prevailing in such industrial centers as Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Detroit, where the danger from violent death in the mills and factories is a feature to be reckoned with. Here there are no factories and death from accident is much rarer than in cities such as those named.—Washington Star. Coal is by far the most important mineral product of India. The value of the output of the coal fields in 1912 reached a total of $16,088,374, which represents an advance of more than 32 per cent. But it's better to be born great than it is to thrust yourself upon greatness. Chinese bought 1,000,000 Bibles the first six months of this year. For thirty years a work for colored mothers has been maintained under many difficulties at Haddonville, N. J., under the auspices of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Mrs. Isabel Shipley is the superintendent, and has succeeded in bringing a great deal of comfort into the lives of working women of the colored race who have homes dependent upon them. These mothers are brought together in cheerful meetings and both helped and taught to better their lot. Arrangements are made to assist them in their necessary purchases and to help them in their earnings. This winter the work has been extended to take in a larger district, the need being great. Mrs. Shipley found herself confronted with many pleas for a larger circle of those who could enjoy the benefits of these mother-meetings, and in the face of the heavily increased expense has undertaken to meet the call. These helpful meetings are but one line of the excellent work among colored people conducted under Mrs. Shipley's direction. There are some 60,000 Asiatics employed on British ships. TULSA. OKLA.. STAR In an address before the Wabash Avenue Y. M. C. A., former Governor Charles S. Deneen of Illinois, reviewing the negro's activities in this country during the half century of his freedom, told the exact truth when he said that the record was one of which no member of the race need be ashamed The sudden stepping from a "paternal and protective" condition, where the negro was entirely a dependent and his individual efforts were repressed to the utmost by the very nature of his condition, to a status of freedom made his problem an unusually difficult one. When to the normal difficulties of such a condition were added the natural race prejudice which existed and still exists, and the bitter prejudices engendered of four years of bloody civil strife, it is plain enough that the negro's problem was one of the hardest that history records. Thus, however, is the negro's record summarized by Mr. Deneen: "It was under these adverse conditions that the negroes of the United States began their uphill struggle for industrial independence. Fifty years have elapsed since that time; a very brief period in the calendar of racial or national progress, and yet in that time I think it can safely be said that the advancement made has been something which the American people, and those of your own race in particular, may well be proud." The conclusion reached by Mr. Deneen is that the negro has "made good." That must be the conclusion of every unbiased observer. This fact gives promise that, despite noisy and offensive agitators among the whites and the impulsive and frequently ill-timed and ill-judged utterances of some negro leaders, we shall ultimately reach a solution of the "race problem" through the fairness and tolerance of the majority of the dominant race and the industry and continued usefulness and progress of the great majority of the negroes.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Addressing an audience of 500 negroes at Chicago, Judge Orrin N. Carter pointed out the real and gratifying progress made by the negro in America since the Civil war and, commenting upon the future of the race, said: "The future is largely in your own hands and must be provided for by education. It depends upon both the white and colored races if the Emancipation Proclamation is fully carried out." It is true that education is usually a solvent of prejudice. In that sense education is an excellent thing for the negro. Education to a certain degree is absolutely requisite. The negro should be able to read and write, should know commercial arithmetic and should have a fair knowledge of things in general. It is doubtful, however, whether what is commonly known as "higher education" will prove an unmixed blessing to the negro. One of the unhappiest persons in the world is the average highly educated negro. By superreduction he acquires a contempt for the ordinary activities of his race and the prejudice which still unhappily prevails prevents him from mingling upon terms of equality with the dominant white race, in which he would find in larger numbers his intellectual and cultural equals. There are exceptions to this rule, but their number is exceedingly small. Colored teachers of the District of Columbia public schools formed an organization looking to obtain closed relations between these educators. Officers were elected at the meeting, which was held in the colored Y. M. C. A., as follows: R. A. Gillen, president; Miss May Cromwell, vice-president; Miss Helen Moore, recording secretary; Miss Julia H. Smith, corresponding secretary, and Miss N. E. Gibbs, treasurer. A. U. Craig, Robert Mattingly, Miss Zela Dyson, Miss L. G. Arnold and J. L. Chestnut were appointed a committee to frame a constitution and by-laws. The Italian supreme court has refused to allow Signorina Teresa Labriola to practise law in the country on the grounds that a woman cannot do anything in public life without the consent of her husband, and if she were allowed to practise law her husband might withdraw his consent.

DRINK LOTS OF WATER TO FLUSH THE KIDNEYS Eat Less Meat and Take Salts for Backache or Bladder Trouble— Neutralize Acids. Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish. ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from backache, slick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.—Adv. Sue—I can marry any man I please.

SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR APRIL 5 CHRIST'S TABLE TALK. LESSON TEXT—Luke 14:7-24. GOLDEN TEXT—"Everyone that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." Luke 14:11. This lesson is connected directly with that of two weeks ago, the events occurring in the house of the "chief Pharisee." 14:1. I. An Honorable Promotion, vv. 7-11. The spirit of humility here emphasized by Jesus is not that of commending the man who piously, ostentatiously, takes the low seat, and then is angry if he is not promoted; the man who says "no" and is angry if he is taken at his word. These words are not only to be applied literally but have a wide scope and embrace all the followers of Christ in every walk of life. The sincere evidence of this spirit is proof of the nearness of the disciple to the life of his Lord; see Phil. 2:3, 6, 7 and Matt. 18:4. Men scramble for position and power to be obtained at the hands of other men. Jesus, the keen observer, saw men striving in this house, and criticizes such conduct. "Lest haply," twice repeated, gives us the clew to this section. Guests are not to seek the higher seats, "lest haply" more worthy ones should appear who ought to occupy them. Real Hospitality. II. A Holy Recompense, vv. 12-14. —The man who makes a feast invites those who can return his favor or else thereby pays his obligations to society. Not so the members of the kingdom (Matt. 6:1-6, 16-18). "Recompense" is here the key. Those who are needy cannot make any material recompense and the one who gives the feast does not need any other recompense than that of the gratitude of those served and the approval, "well done," from the king. This does not forbid the interchange of hospitality and courtesies but does warn us lest in our elaborate feasts we overlook the poor, but worthy ones. In the kingdom, hospitality consists of a desire to give rather than to get. III. A Heavenly Invitation, vv. 15-24. One of the guests seems to have been impressed with the words of Jesus and exclaimed, "Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God." He seemed to realize that the conduct Jesus was speaking of was to be found only there. In answer our Lord gave us this parable of the great supper in which he describes an atmosphere like that created by his host and the guests there present. By this parable he replies to this man, contrasting the admixing of an ideal and being willing to be governed by that ideal. (a) Those who refused. This was a "great supper," a time of great joy and many were invited, see Gal. 4:4, 5; Matt. 3:2; Mark 1:14, 15. All men had to do was to "come," Isa. 55:1; Matt. 11:28; John 7:37; Rev. 22:17. There were three who made excuses, yet all three refused the invitation. The first (v. 18) was the man whose property stood in his way (II Tim. 4:10; I Tim. 6:9). The second allowed a dumb ox, that might have received attention later, to take precedence over the glad feast. Domestic demands and godless home ties are used frequently by the evil one to keep men out of the kingdom. The third excuse (v. 20) was still less justifiable, for this man should have brought his wife with him. It was her place as much as his to accept the invitation. However, to spurn God's invitation does not mean that there shall be any lack of guests, see John. 1:11 an Matt. 21:31. (2) Those who accepted this invitation (vv. 21-24). Thus to be spurned made the master of the house "angry" (v. 21). God's Method. This is God's method of filling empty churches. If we wear out consecrated she-leather during the week men will not forget us on the Sabbath, and guests will always be found for God's table. "Compulsion" (v. 23) indicates intense, earnest effort in bringing men to Christ (II Cor. 5:20; Col. 1:28; II Tim. 4:2). Men should be reluctant only through a sense of their unworthiness, which is in reality their greatest possible fitness. Here again the question of host and guest is thrust upon us. In society we ask our friends and rich neighbors, best haply they bid us in turn, or repay by making some other recompense. Our hospitality is a quid pro quo business. Thus there is set before us the blindness of human hearts in the excuses they make in answer to God's invitation. CORN CAN BE GROWN ON CANADIAN PRAIRIES Manitoba is now commencing to produce considerable corn, chiefly for feeding purposes. In some cases, where the crop can be matured into the dough stage, silos could be used and would be a profitable investment. According to the Farm and Ranch Review, a correspondent visited a field of corn in southern Manitoba on September 28. The corn then was untouched by frost and it stood on an average eight and nine feet in height. The corn had developed into the dough stage, and the crop would easily exceed 20 tons to the acre. At many experimental farms, the same favorable showing of the corn crop has manifested itself. At the Brandon experimental farm this year several varieties, all very good yielders, matured into good silo corn. Considering the success with which corn can be produced, and the advantages to be gained by so producing it, should not it receive the serious attention of the western agriculturist? Corn is successfully grown in the northern part of Minnesota in similar soil and under the same climatic condition, and there does not appear to be any reason why like results should not be secured in western Canada. It is the opinion of many American farmers of experience that the corn belt is extending northward. The prairie provinces must gradually take up with mixed farming. More stock on the farms must be raised, and in consequence farming must to some extent be diverted from grain growing to other necessary crops. If crops suitable for wintering cattle and especially dairy stock are to be grown, why should not corn be one of these crops? In Ontario and in the United States we find it forms the main bulky food for wintering beef and dairy cattle. They would not be without this profitable plant. In fact, since its introduction almost twice as much stock can be retained on the same amount of land, besides considering its great value for keeping the land clean. Some may say that many crops that can be grown in Ontario and the States cannot be grown here, but not so with corn, even now we find scattered fields of corn in Alberta and Saskatchewan.—Advertisement. Another Superstition Smashed. A weather superstition has been smashed by an observant New York farmer. He once heard a friend say, "We'll have more rain soon. It cleared off in the night." He wanted to know what that had to do with it. He was told that it had a lot to do with it. He doubted the contention, and agreed to keep an accurate record. This he did, and after two and one-half months had sufficient data to prove that there was nothing whatever in the superstition. RINGWORM SPREAD ON HAND R. F. D. No. 2, Box 67, Ellijay, Ga.

The trouble lasted two or three months. Then I sent and got some Cuticura Soap and Ointment and began to use them. I would wash his hand with the Cuticura Soap and dry it good and apply the Cuticura Ointment.

STAR Unseen in its approach, hard to detect in its early stages, and cruelly painful in its later forms, uric acid poisoning is a disease too often fatal. Bright's disease is one of the final stages of uric acid poisoning. It kills in our country every year more men and women than any other ailment except two—consumption and pneumonia. Bright's disease and uric acid poisoning usually start in some kidney weakness that would not be hard to cure, if discovered early, so it is well to know the early signs of kidney disease and uric poisoning. When uric acid is formed too fast and the kidneys are weakened by a cold, or fever, by overwork, or by overindulences, the acid collects, the blood gets impure and heavy, there is headache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and a dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling with disturbances of the urine. Real torture begins when the uric acid forms into gravel or stone in the kidney, or crystallizes into jagged bits in the muscles, joints or on the nerve tubings. Then follow the awful pains of neuralgia, rheumatism, gout, sciatica, neuritis, lumbago or kidney colic.

"My good old Grandmother Usher used to say of Sir Walter: 'What a pity so clever a man did not write sermons instead of novels.' But to those who were privileged to see him in the inner sanctuary of his home, his whole life was a sermon, and there he was beloved by all for his benevolence and his true goodness, far excelling his greatness," says Mrs. Agnes Cunningham in T. P.'s Weekly. "He assembled his household for prayer at a stated hour every morning, to which all visitors were invited—often having a large congregation. His servants worshiped him, and even the dumb animals showed a great love for him, even down to the very pigs. His much valued servant, forester and factotum, Tom Purdury, was very faithful, but given to dram drinking and heedless of Sir Walter's gentle rebukes. He was told on one occasion he must leave his service, but replied: 'Deed, sir, I'gang nae sie gait; if ye dinna ken when ye've a gude servant, A ken when I've gat a gude maister.' On another like offense Sir Walter exclaimed: 'Oh, Tam, Tam, I could trust you with untold gold, but not with unmeasured whisky.' SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and Nobody Will Know. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussey and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy." You will get a large bottle for about 50 cents. Everybody uses this old, famous recipe, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger. —Adv.

I had terrible, sharp shooting pains in my head and sometimes I was moved dizzy, disgusted and nearly felt. The poisoning affected my whole body and my hands, arms, limbs and ankles were swollen and sore. The pains got so bad I screamed and I thought I would die. I was moved and language and at times I had blinding spells. Remedies and physicians prescriptions did me no good. In 1911 I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and had some procured for me. After I had taken them a few days the soreness and pain began to ease up and I felt a little stronger. In almost no time, I was up and around, in good health. Doan's Kidney Pills purified my whole system and there is no doubt that they help my life. Since I was cured, I have had no further trouble." Name PILLS N. Y., Proprietors Smart Rabbit.

Some are supporting democrats, some republicans, some independents and a few have pledged themselves to vote the socialist ticket. All are honest and conscientious in their different political faiths and are therefore to be commended. EVANS CAFE.

REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE'S ERROR It is reported that the republican campaign committee has hired a certain Negro who lives at Alsuma and owns some property here in Tulsa to swing the colored voters in line for the republican ticket next Tuesday. If this is true the committee has made a grand mistake, because the Negroes of Tulsa know their interest much better than any non-resident and they will not be persuaded by any man to vote contrary to their own convictions. Like white men, the Negroes of this city are very much divided in politics and it is a question as to how the tide will flow. Editorial Staff Takes in Okmulgee The Star Staff visited the cities of Okmulgee and Saulpa last Sunday on a flying tour of observation, and we saw and came in contact with many things that both delighted and pleased us. On arriving at Okmulgee we stopped first at the elegant home of Mr. and Mrs. Nance, who are doing things in a most effective way. Mr. Nance is erecting a splendid two-story brick building which when completed will be used for theatre and picture show. His brother is also putting up a like building adjoining. Both these buildings when completed will be an ornament to the city and a credit to these enterprising gentlemen. At the home of Mrs. Nance we met Mrs. Viola Mathews of Haskell, who at once subscribed for the Star. We then went to the office of Lawyer Calloway, one of the prominent and most able lawyers of the state. Judge Calloway at once went into an interesting reminiscence of the early history of Okmulgee, and illustrated the efforts and struggles undergone by many of the wealthy Negroes of Okmulgee in getting a foothold in this thriving city. At Lawyer Calloway's office we met Dr. Darden a very intelligent and successful physician who is making his mark in the profession. Next we attended the services at the A. M. E. Church, Rev. Dr. J. H. Wiseman, pastor. We listened to a very profound sermon from the lips of this scholarly minister, and enjoyed the excellent singing by the choir. This church is favored with a highly polished Christian minister as pastor, and one of the best trained choirs in the state. Their singing was superb and the voices skillfully selected and harmonized. The editor was called upon and spoke encouragingly of the church, in the political history of Tulsa more divided as they stand now are supporting democrats, some and a few have pledged them- set. All are honest and consci- cical faiths and are therefore to CAFE. Being in public favor in the East are several other such places in doing a thriving business.

Sunday, March 29, being the Anniversary day of the Knights of Pythias of the World, this order observed the day with appropriate ceremonies held at the First Baptist church of that city. Having a desire to see the Okmulgee Knights on this gala day, we attended their services. We were well pleased with the order and system that characterized the ceremonies. The Knights decked only with badges and white gloves appeared at their best. And the ladies Court of Calanthe, dressed in white waists and black skirts, with a carnation emblem looked their sweetest. The serman was above the average, preached by Rev. Williams. Our worthy correspondent, Mrs. Pea R. Perdue, took us in hand immediately upon our arrival and added much ejoyment to our visit in Okmulgee by her pleasing courteous and open hearted entertainment. Being a lady of enterprise and high ideals she is deserving of the highest appreciation, and Okmulgee has a staunch friend and booster in her person. One of our former citizens, Mr. L. W. Wells, is conducting the best well-regulated cafes in Okmulgee. Being an old chef, and fully knowing how to cater to the wants of the inner man he is doing a thriving business. His place is clean, tidy and well-kept, and with the aid of a splendid wife, is doing the business. Among the successful and prominent men of Okmulgee we note the following. Leaving Okmulgee we boarded the train for Sapulpa, the "oil city of the Southwest." This little city is delightfully situated upon a high but level elevation and is clean and prosperous. TULSA. OKLA. STAR BY ONE OF THE SOLDIERS. From boyhood I desired to make a soldier and I would often mention this inclination to my mother. About the most encouragement I received from her was a command which meant.—'Beat it with that noise." As I grew in age and knew more about the duties of a soldier, and especially the opportunity of such a fellow to see the world and foreign lands, I became more determined to make a soldier; so I enlisted in the U. S Army, bound for Hawaii. At first they sent me to Washington, from whence I was sent, after a short while, to San Francisco and across the "briny" Pacific to Hawaii Islands. When we reached Honolulu it was telling upon the nerves of the recruit. We swung our rolls about our shoulders, however, and were sent on a two days "hike," reaching Pearl City, where we fell out and slept on the bare ground until early the next morning when we were again ordered to march until half past eleven o'clock, and the sun was broiling hot. We marched to Schofield Barracks by that time before we could smell a pot—without food. But it was soldier life—discipline, they call it. Makes a fellow think of home—and with such a fare—the life of a soldier. Each day, each trying ordeal, makes home dearer. This is a wonderful country and beautiful. Perpetual summer; flowers always. When I reached the city of Honolulu I thought I would see the city and then make application for a pass. But in the city I was alone. Every one spoke a language of his own—all different from mine. More thoughts of home—and the great thought in all its seriousness and significance came to me, and I felt like bursting forth with all the music of my soul with my thought of: "My Country "Ts of Thee, etc." Thirteen months yet and I am back to America—my country—my home. W. SMITHERMAN. We found shelter and feed in the home of Dr. and Mrs. Humphrey, two lovable companions, happily located in an elegant little cottage, all their own. Of the Dr. more can be said than we have space, but in the passing we desire to sav that he is enjoying the confidence and patronage of Sapulpa enmasse, and besides his time given over to his practice he devotes his talents and spare hours to the church and society works of his community. He is at present the Grand Master of the Knights and Ladies of Harmony, and as their head is making this order prominent and conspicuous. H. T. Hutton, friend and booster for the Star is conducting a grocery store and enjoys a lucrative trade. Mr. Hutton is also the endowment secretary for the Knights and Ladies of Harmony, and is always a useful and busy man. T. R.

He has in connection a tailoring, cleaning and pressing department. W. H. Little one of the oldest restaurant keepers in Sapulpa, is doing a thriving business. He is always courteous, genial and pleasant, and his large custom appreciates the many conveniences he has placed at their disposal. Mr. Little is in fact the "right man in the right place."

She has lately placed a tile floor in her store to take the place of the unsanitary linoleum formerly used and the cleanliness of the entire store and the neat arrangement of stock added to the many auxiliaries kept for the convenience and comfort of her patrons makes Mrs. Williams the model of business people of our race in the City. We have to compliment her upon the fact that her windows and floor especially are always clean and shining, an exception to what is so often seen in our places of business. We are proud to give this small word of encouragement to Mrs. Williams, personally, without any effort on our part to advertise her wares. K. OF P.

Wells was master of ceremonies for the occasion, and carried out one of the best arranged programs, perhaps ever given the public on such an occasion in the City.

KAHN'S degganganaganaeageaeegtageageateatstetastts testis By GEORGE ELMER CoBB, “Get out!" “1 be glad to do tt.” “And~-stay out!" “I've been waiting for the chance for a month, You are a hard, mean taskmaster, Mr. Green, and you'll never get another boy to 6tick by you as I have, I've only one regret—it’s her!" and Ned Calvert turned toward a pale-faced, agitated girl near by, who stood trembling all over in feer and Alstress, Ned had called himself “a boy.” He was not quite that in his stalwart ap- pearance, although he was under twenty and Nettie Green was not eighteen. There was boy and girl Jove between them, however, She had been to him a guiding star. Now It must all end, and he was reckless and deflant with the man in whose employ he had been for over a year. His bold, independent outbreak fatr- ly electrified his master, Silas Green held a heavy whip in his hand, He swung it and himself around facing Ned, his eyes blazing. » “You miserable poorhouse brat!” ho fairly shricked, “Her! her! the pleco T've raised and housed going gallivanting to @ circus without iny permlasion with you, Whf, Y'il crush you! and as to her—" Zing—snap!—the cruel lash snipped the air like a writhing serpent and enwrapt the shrinking, terrorized girl with brutal force, “You coward!” shouted Ned Cal- vert, then he had thrown himself up- on the wretched tyrant. He was no match for him, but in his mad fury he bore Green to the ground. “Why, I'll flay you!” roared the trate farmer, “Take “lt!” Prostrate as he was he managed to reverse the whip. It had a bulky whalebone-welghted handle. ‘This landed on the wrist of Ned. The lat: ter uttered a sharp ery of pain, His arm fell nerveless to his elde. “I'll go,” said Ned, his face writhing with the agony of the blow, “but I'll remember you! Nettie, don't forget me. I want you. I'll be back here to take you away from the man you ought to be ashamed to call an uncle tm ea ~Ay ai Fis) (2 eal Just as soon as 1 make a fortune—and 1 know how to make one,” declared Ned with grim emphasis. Nettle erfed her heart out all that night. Green did not speak to her for several days following. He was ashamed of what he had done. At the end of a week he told Nettie so. Then later he mourned that he had ever lost his temper and through tt the services of the best helper he had ever hired It was when his five acre plat of Strawberries ripened that he sorely missed the boy who had been so fam- ously handy during the previous sea- son. Ned was popular with all the Juventles of Frampton. Everything de- pended on picking the berries at Just the right time. Paying one cent a quart, Ned had employed an army of vacation school children. Not a berry rotted, not a delivery was missed and nearly one thousand dollars net profit came from the well-managed enter- prise The present season, however, old Silas Green found that he could not hire pickers. The children had heard of his cruel treatment of thelr favor- fte. Again, the bright encouraging follity of Ned that made work play to them was an abseut element. There came rain and then a hot sun, There was @ consequent magical ripening of the berries. The few pick- ers whom Green could induce to work for him could not handle a third of fthe task. Hundreds of quarts of the fruit rotted. At the end of the season the troubled farmer found himself two hundred dollars to the bad. One year to the day from the one when Silas Green had turned a faith- ful but independent helper from his door, there came @ registered package a a a a to the farm house. Curious and eager the farmer opened it. ‘The package contained—a heavy ‘horsewhip! It was a counterpart of the one with which he had struck his niece and Ned Calvert, and the old fellow winced at the telling reminder, Two years to the same day a sec: ond package arrived—again a heavy horsewhip. Poor Nettle had grown thin and pale and wretched at the loss of play- mate and lover. Her heart saddened at this token of the absent one. She noticed the tears come to the eyes of her uncle. “Nothing but {ll luck since I drove the Ind away!” he groaned. “He bears mo no good thought, as his ‘presents’ show. I can't blame him, but I was in the wrong, I confess it. I'm sorry for it.” “Don't worry, uncle,” spoke gentle- hearted Nettie, “Maybe Ned will come back some day.” Dut her words failed to lighten the burden of the broken old man, Silas Green told the truth when he spoke of his growing bad fortune. He tried new help, but they failed in their guty. A season of bad crops all around forced him to mortgage the little place. “I see nothing but ruin before me!” he lamented. One night there came a knock at the door of the humble farm hoyge. Nettie went to the door, owed the visitor and fell back with a vague, startled cry. Silas Green arose to his feet, his Jaws dropped, starting spellbound, It was Ned, but a new Ned, who, uninvited, advanced into the room. His eyes were bright and brave, his Kips smiling. He was erect, hand- some, well-dressed. He extended his hand to the old farmer as though there had never been anything be- tween them, Then he turned to the trembling, agitated Nettle, with the words: “I've come back to you as I sald 1 would. Am I welcome? “Oh, Ned!” gasped the overcome girl and fluttered into his arms. “Boy,” spoke Silas Green huskily, “you have forgiven me?” “For what?” cried Ned. “That whip blow? Mr. Green, you were in the wrong and I shall always think so—" “Yes! yes; I admit 1t—" “But that blow made a man of me. Shall 1 tell you how? I was mad all through when I left you and fancied 1 had lost Nettle for good. Three hangers on at the ctrcus that day had shown me how I contd make a lot of money, 1 was reckless apd discour- aged. I knew they were up to no good, but, homeless, friendless, 1 didn't care, When I went to join them they refused to take mo into their plots on account of my helpless wrist. That saved me, for their scheme was to rob a bank. They did it, but one was shot dead In a melee with the police and the two others were sent to the state penitentiary.” “Oh, Ned!" shivered Nettie, cling- ing the closer to him. “That was the lesson of my life,” pursued the returned wanderer. “I swore never to graze the path of wrong again, I went west, poor— thinking of Nettle. I have come back east rich—still thinking of Nettie. Uncle Green, can I have her for my wite?” And in the willing broken assent of the contrite old man, all the past was forgotten and the reunited trio saw only a bright, golden future.

It makes a great dif- ference in the cost of building wheth- er you have large rooms or small rooins. Many times architects are asked to design an eight-room house with no sizes stipulated, but it 1s intimated that largo rooms are wanted. When the plan {8 finished and the cost com- puted there is an objection at once on the score of expense and the archi- tect Is asked to reduce the size to come within the owner's means. ‘This is a difficult task. In the first Piece the owner has got his ideas up to a rather pretentious house and he has decided that he wants four bedrooms, which, with bathroom, hall and stairway means that he must either have house about the size of this one or he must cut down the size of the rooms considerably. The decision usually 1s to make.the rooms smaller, but this often alters the ap- pearance of the house until the gen- eral effect {s disappointing. If a person can stand the expense this efght-room house plan {s a good one; the proportions are right and the floor space 1s utilized to the very best advantage for convenience, sant- tation and general utility, when con- sidered a8 a home for a good sized family. A great deal of time has been de- voted to the stairway to make it one of the most complete house stairways ever built. It 1s easy to look at a stair when finished and admire it, but only architects realize how difficult It 1s to start with a naked plan and build a stair that will conneet all parts of the house, including the cellar and the qt —— - on ae i) = SOS ae . hile ] oma, } =] Pa First Floor Plan. attic, in @ neat, convenient combina- tion that will not eat into the cuble space unnecessarily, ‘This stairway ts the product of the inventive genius of several genera- tions of architects and it deserves very careful consideration on the part of the owner when he starts to build. In building a house the plan ts one of the first considerations and it is not one to be lightly considered nor quickly chosen. I often recommend intending builders to get a book of house plans and study it thoroughly before deciding on any plan or design. I find that it is necessary for people who are not accustomed to reading architectural drawing to study the subject in this way in order to get a clear idea of what the plans, eleva- fame [Ul ee sates [UY sez fc = 7a ea me See en OS O67 nea are mene _ rt | aes i] Second Floor Plan. tions and specifications really mean. The study of a book of house planr will often result in a building entirely differe@t from the one first decided upon. There are so many different styles of roofs, for instance, and the roof has a good deal to do with the value of the house. If you like the root you are almost sure to like the house. It is a sort of introduction from @ distance. A good roof has a good deal to do with the real value as well as the sentimental value of a dwelling. Some roofs are so made that snow piles up in the corners to melt and freeze and back up the water go you have to get up in the night and set pans and pails around at different places to catch the drips. This happens with comparatively new roofs that are im- properly constructed. There are a good many roofs in the snowy north- ern states where considerable shovel- fhg {8 necessary after heavy snow storms, The roof must not be too plain, and {t must not be too fancy. There is more in the general design than in the fancy features, Next to the general plan and de sign the conveniences for doing the house work are very important. A person builds a house once and lives in it for years usually. If the range, kitchen sink, pantry, outside doors, cellarway and other working con- veniences that a woman uses every day are so placed that she takes a few extra steps cach time, the amount of unnecessary labor entailed when multiplied by every day tn the year amounts to a great deal in the aggre- gate. Mvery one likes to see a house look well from the front, but really the most important thing ts the cull- nary department and the accessories thereto. In this plan these tmportant fea- tures have received a great deal of consideration. They are homely sub- jects but we have formed a national habit of eating about three times a day, and that foots up to more than a thousand meale during the year.

The Bonapartist party 1s re- foicing over the arrival of a ‘prince imperial, and the mother of the Mt tle prince, wha was Princess Clemen- tine of Belgium, declares she is the happiest woman in the world, She has prayed for a son, and now the son is born. It was a real royal romance, that of Prince Victor Napoleon and the Bel- gian princess.

The mere Prospect of it helped to embitter his last days, and even on his deathbed he warned ~his youngest daughter against the fatal prompting of her heart and fancy. He reminded her, almost with his expiring breath, of the Bourbon blood in her veins, of the position of her flance as the undis- buted head of the Bonaparte family, and of the irreconcilable feud between the two sets of pretenders to sover- elgnty in France—the royalist and im- Derlallst ‘The engagement between the prin- cess and the pretender to the hypo- thetical throne of the French was a somewhat romantic one. For 24 years, since he was exiled from France, the chief of the Bonapartists had lived in Brussels. His life, to out- ward appearance, was of somewhat morose resignation. He did not plot in his great house on the Avenue Louise, but neither did he show con- tentment with his lot. Brussels 1s a comparatively small city, but the first inkling of the fact that the prince and the princess were attentive was given at one of the horseback paper chases which are among the favorite recreations of Brussels society, At this paper chase Prince Victor was victorious and Prin- cess Clementine attached the trophy, a bunch of ribbons, to his coat. Her act appeared significant. At once the engagement was declared to be cer tain. Shortly after this Prince Victor drove to the great royal palace in Brussels to ask the old king for the hand of his daughter. And now the subtle genius of the crafty monarch displayed Itself fn all its power. Re ceiving the French pretender with the exquisite deference his manner could assume, the wily king professed his Perfect willingness to accept the prince for a son-in-law. “But since the French republic has raised objec: tions, Leopard must forbid the bans.” Princess Clementine had intimated € purpose to avail herself of her legal advantage of being thirty-two years old by marrying her lover, In that event, Leopold assured the pretend: er, he should be put to the painful necessity of disowning Clemehtine as he had disowned his two other daughters. It was of the utmost con: Sequence to the Belgian sovereign, a8 head of the Kongo state, to maintain friendly relations with the foreign of- fice in Paris. The safety of Belgium itself depended upon French good will When the Bonaparte pretender, after listening to this exposition of dynastic diplomacy, ventured to speak of love, Leopold's only reply, It was said, was “inextinguishable laughter.” But the prince had formed an endur- ing affection for the princess and he was resolved to bide his time. And the grim old king kept his youngest daughter a prisoner. It was the time when the moral wreck of the King of the Belgians had filled the world with scandal, His character, colossal in every respect, lost no vigor in the capacity of jailer, and the help- less Clementine durst not stir from her room without the prior permission of her inexorable parent. Daily she was’summoned to the presence of her father, who put to her the query: “Will you swear never to sce this man?” The answer of the princess was the Sweetest, but the firmest; for she never forgot her sense of duty to her parent, whom she tenderly loved when all the world was filled with loathing for his vices.

Six years they waited. And then King Leopold died and King Albert ‘ascended the throne. With his accession the royal objec- tions were removed. This was due largely to the attitude of Prince Vic- tor himself, who always refrained from attending official fetes and cere- monies in Brussels and from tn any way embarrassing the relations of Belgium and France. As soon as court etiquette allowed the two faithful sweethearts were married at Mon- calierl, Italy, ; Prince Victor 1s a cousin of King Victor Emmanuel of Italy. And the ceremony took place in the royal cas- tle erected in the fifteenth century, to which Princess Clotilde, sister of King Humbert of Italy and mother of Prince Victor Napoleon, retired after the overthrow of the French empire. Public rejoicing marked the occaston. ‘The members of the Savoy and Bona- parte familles were present, including Prince Louls Napoleon, the younger brother of the pretender, who for some time had not been on good terms with the bridesroom, The wed- ding was in 1910. The princess was thirty-eight years old and the prince was forty-eight, The prince imperial fs their second child. The first was a girl, the Prin- cess Clotilde. The Empress Eugente was always heartily in favor of the marriage and the bulk of her vast for- tune will go to the little prince tmpe- rial and his sister. And there are some who believe that Emperor Na- poleon IV, as Prince Victor is called by the Bonapartists, will some day ascend the throne and that the prince imperial eventually will be emperor of France. ew t.conomy Drug Store Dealers in Fresh Drugs, Toilet Articles, Perfumes, and Other Sundries.
