Bristow One of The Coming Oklahoma Towns Editor Spends Few Hours In Thriving Little City U. S. Fo Bristow One Oklahoma Editor Spends Thriving The editor of the Star spent a few hours at Bristow last Saturday and while there met a number of the prominent citizens, White and Black, of that thriving town. At present there is some oil excitement around Bristow which promises to flush into a boom in the next few weeks in spite of the drop in the price of crude oil. It is reported that ten acres close to a good well recently brought in was sold there last week for $40,000.00. But whether the boom from oil developments come or not, Bristow has the foundation for a great future city. It is favorably surrounded by the very best farm land which is being cultivated by good practical farmers, all of whom are good true, patriotic, law-abiding citizens, while the merchants, bankers and other business men of the town are all of the higher type of American citizenship, who are willing at all times to contribute time or money in the interest of Bristow. These business men and these farmers are in full sympathy and harmony with each other which no doubt accounts for the present prosperous condition of this town. Bristow has three banks, two National banks and one State bank, two newspapers, "The Bristow Record" and the "Enterprise", six gins and a proportionate number of all other kinds of business houses. The following named gentlemen are conducting the banking business of Bristow: First National Bank, John Teeters, president; N. T. Gilbert cashier; Bristow National Bank, M. Jones, president; R. W. Yakish, cashier; First State Bank, C. B. Benson, a Tulsa man, president and E. L. Jones, cashier. The statements of these banks bespeak a very prosperous condition for the town. Bristow has also a number of creditable department stores, Drug stores, groceries and Hardware stores. The following such places were visited by the editor: Abraham Brothers Department Store, L. M. Wolf Mercantile Store, Rexall Drug Store E. J. Thurman, prop; Humphrey Drug Store, John Humphrey, proprietor; H. T. Wolf's Grocery; the Groom Hardware Co., F. H. Groom, prop; Stone Hardware Co., A. H. Stone, prop; House Hardware Co., H. L. House, prop. All of these places seemed to be doing a thriving business. Rev. P. C. Shillings, pastor of the First Baptist church, white, of Bristow, assisted by a noted evangelist is conducting what is said to be the biggest revival meeting ever held in the town. The Colored Citizens of Bristow. Rev. Schilling is a typical Christian gentleman and is loved by all who know him regardless of race or color. One could not visit Bristow on Saturday and fail to note the presence there of the many healthy fine looking negro framers and their families who flock to town every Saturday to do their shopping. It was impossible for the editor to meet all of these good people, bue we did meet many of them and was very much encouraged for having met them. Not a single one of these farmers doubted that he would raise a big crop this year. There are no Negroes in business SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY APRIL 25th, 1914 at Bristow, except the hotel and restaurant business and one or two grocery stores. But there is no place in Oklahoma where the Negroes own more farm land than in Creek county, and most of these live in or near Bristow. A number of Colored citizens also own city property. John Griffin, one of the thrifty citizens of the town conducts a first class hotel for Colored people. He owns considerable city property. J. J. James, another progressive citizen is devoting his time to the carpenter trade and is considered in this connection a successful business man. Henry Williams is conducting a grocery store in Lincoln Heights addition which addition is owned and controlled by colored men of Bristow. J H. Hamilton, who is considered one of the leaders there is one of the principal owners of this property. It is situated to the northwest of the city proper on a picturesque elevation commanding a view of all the surrounding country and within 5 minutes walk to the center of the town. Lots in this addition are now on sale by Mr. Hamilton, and other agents there. A number of homes have been built in this addition and more will be in the near future. Mrs. E. A. Johnson proprietress of the O. K. Restaurant is a wealthy widow of Bristow, who is said to own nearly a block in the business district but the editor was assured that she positively is not a candidate for matrimonial honors. (Bachelors take note.) Prominent among the big land owners and leaders of Colored people of Bristow might also be mentioned P. L. Shoals, who is a native Cherokee. Mr. Shoals is very modest in discussing his wealth or his influence in the community, but he is nevertheless a power in the affairs of his home town. Two Negro physicians, Dr. M. H. Wakefield and Dr. C. R. Williams, and two school teachers, Prof. A. L. W. Shields and Mrs M. A. Mitchell, comprise the professional side of the Colored population. Both physicians are kept busy looking after the health of the community. Dr. Wakefield is especially popular with the people of Bristow and even as far away as McIntosh county he is called frequently to attend the sick. G. C. Luckett and wife who are conducting the "Busy Bee' Resaurant, have won their way into the good grace of the people of that town by their own peculair way of appeasing the "inner man." As a whole the people of Bristow are very progressive and full of "home pride." The editor was especially pleased to note the friendly relationship existing between the races at Bristow. There is absolutely no friction whatever, which proves that the citizenship of the town is composed of the best element of both races as a whole. Although in the town only a few hours between trains we were entertained in a royal manner and while there secured exactly fifty-four subscriptions to The Tulsa Star, showing that the people of this town are literary inclined and that they appreciate a good newspaper when they see it. Mrs. M. Mitchell a very popular widow of Bristow, has accepted a position as correspondent and traveling representative of The Star, and she is already doing some splendid work. C.urch Dignitaries in Town Presiding Elders of I2th Episcopal District Meet LADIES OF HOME AND FORIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETIES IN SESSION The 18th annual session of the Presiding Elders Council of the 12th Episcopal district, Arkansas and Oklahoma, is in session in this city having convened Tuesday for a four days' session. The Ladies Home and Foreign Missionary Society is meeting with the Council for the first time in history. Each session has been largely attended by home people and everybody expresses pleasure at the progressive and success of this great council of Christian men and women. Flowers of masterly oratory were plucked nad scattered to the winds by the gifted speakers of the evening, but perhaps the most flowery and most entertaining of them all was the introduction of Bishop Chapelle of South Carolina, by Rev. T. W. Kidd, presiding elder of the Tulsa District. Bishop Chapelle is a strong man in the ranks of the A. M. E. Church, and it is said he carries the entire southern delegation in general conference. The Ladies Missionary Society and Endeavor League are also meeting with the Presiding Elders, and the work of the ladies is causing marked attention. The people of Tulsa have received the delegates with open hands and hearts and have made them feel welcome. Following is the program of the first day's session: PROGRAM. Chorus, choir. Prayer, Dr. C.

General Carranza, the constitutionalist chief has addressed a note to the American government resenting the seizure of Vera Cruz. He characterizes it as a hostile act against the Mexican nation in "violation of the national sovereignty" and "invites" the United States to withdraw.

The president, Secretary Bryan and Garrison and Major General Wotherspoon, chief of staff of the army were awakened early today and discussed the vrious dispatches.

Already a big portion of the army is scattered along the southern frontier of the United States. On the developments of today the trend of the whole situation seemed to hinge. Carranza's Note.

The constitutionalists said Carranza's note was not intended as defiance, but as an appeal to the United States to withdraw its forces and seek separation from them. Secretary Daniels and Secretary Lane joined the conference with the president shortly before 10 o'clock and Secretary Garrison was expected to arrive momentarily. It was reported that immediate movements along the Mexican border and the necessity for further operations at Vera Cruz was under consideration. WASHINGTON, April 23.—General Wotherspoon, chief of staff of the army and General Wood reached the war department shortly after 9 o'clock. Neither would discuss the Mexican situation. Heads of departments were summoned to confer with them in General Wotherspoon's office. Carranza's Note. --- HIS FOOTBALL STORY By HAYDEN CARRUTH. Our rules were few, though they started out boldly enough under the head of "Constitution and By-laws of the Corncob Club," and began and ended as follows: Section First, Article First—It shall be the duty of each member throughout every session to smoke a cob pipe with due diligence. "Section First, Article Second—Members who do not smoke shall not be required to smoke." The parson was the only member who profited by article second, and the doctor used to charge him with quietly electioneering to have it repealed, so that he might return to his former bad practises, but this was a slander on the good man. Not being burdened with a cob pipe in a constant state of conflagration the parson was left with more time for conversational efforts. We suspected he sometimes took advantage of our nicotinized condition to foist tales upon us containing a smaller percentage of truth than the state board of story inspectors would have countenanced; but of this there was no direct proof. The parson certainly always had a most truthful and benign aspect, and never more so than one evening, when, the talk turning on football, he leaned forward and said: "Do you fellows happen to know that I used to take part in football games?" "In your clerical capacity, to carry consolation to the mortally wounded, I suppose," returned the judge. "No, no," answered the parson, "as a player. I was on our college team for three seasons." "You should have gone into the army instead of the ministry," commented the major. "You are jealous of football," resumed the parson. "After all, it is © 1917 ホルム As Soon as a Player Was Incapable of Movement He Was Carried Away. rather mild pastime as commonly played. This recent suggestion that the players be armed with bayonets may make it more strenuous, if it is carried out, which seems improbable. What I was going to tell you about was a game that I once took part in when I was on our varsity eleven, which I firmly believe to be the most remarkable game ever played. It was a fast and exciting game from the first, and on the whole there was some pretty rough play, but that is not what I refer to when I say it was the most extraordinary game of football ever witnessed since football was invented." "Well, out with it—what made your game such a rare bird?" asked the doctor. "In good time," returned the parson with a touch of complacency. "Of course I really can't say that it was a unique game—I strongly suspect that the same thing happens rather frequently in the game, but it isn't detected. When a thing isn't discovered it's just the same as if it didn't happen in one sense, you know. Well this game that I'm talking about was between Tamerlane college, where I was a student, and the Attila university players. There has always been, and is yet, as you know, a strong feeling of rivalry between these two seats of learning. It happened not so many months before that Attila had carried off the honors in rowing, while Tamerlane had won at baseball; so we foot ball players felt, as I may say, that it was up to us. That's the right expression, is it not?" "Don't try to appear innocent—I heard you use it in a sermon the other day," said the judge. "That is a base slander," returned the parson. "Besides, you haven't been to church for three months, so that if I had used it you wouldn't have heard it. Well, the game was fast right from the start. We went at each other and fought like a wildcat in a tin oven—as some Boston author said. The local authorities had been warned, and made provisions for it by keeping their policemen away from the grounds so they wouldn't get hurt, and sending all the doctors, surgeons, nurses, ambulances and other alleviating and repairing apparatus to the field early. The combat was something terrific, but through it all these fearless workers for the good of humanity (I include the ambulances) moved about and carried relief to the stricken. As soon as a player was incapable of movement he was carried away on a stretcher and a substitute took his place. A well-equipped field hospital had been established under the grand stand, where restoratives were administered and minor operations performed. A line of fast ambulances hurried the more seriously injured to the city hospitals. "As the game progressed its fury increased. Players, integral and fractional, were flying in the air everywhere. The umpire and referee retired to a safe distance and conveyed their instructions through giant megaphones. The spectators stood in the grand stand and fairly howled, though little of the strife was visible to them owing to the fog of torn clothes and uprooted soil which hung over the scene, not to mention players, or parts of players, which ever and anon were thrown up from the seething maelstrom below. Once a flying Tamerlane player, hurled through the air by two Attilas, struck a Red Cross nurse and bore him down, but he was dragged from the field by a brother worker. Again, an Attila player was tosSED to the top of the grand stand, where he clung to the ridge pole and yelled for his side, while a substitute rushed to take his place. The combat deepens! Now it is impossible to—" "See here, parson," broke in the major, rather firmly, "you're getting too excited. Calm down—you'll be tackling us and throwing us out the window the next thing you know. Besides you are telling us of nothing but a simple, ordinary game of football, after all. Where's the extraordinarily unique uniqueness you boasted about?" "You may interrupt me if you choose, but you shan't stop me," said the parson, with a trace of indignation. "See, the combat deepens! It—well, no matter. It was a wonderful game. And here is what made it unique so far as known. All the way through we players felt that something was lacking—that something, somewhere, was wrong. Afterwards we learned that the spectators had the same feeling. But no one on the gridiron or in the grand stand could say what it was. At last the game ended. All had been removed except the two captains. I was one of them. We lay stretched on the plain near the middle of the field, of course, unable to rise. We heard the ambulance coming to bear us away, the captain of the Attilas raised his head with difficulty and whispered hourly: "Hello, old man, great game, wasn't it?" "Wonderful,' I replied. 'Still, there was something lacking.' "I had that feeling all the time too, but I can't make out what it was." "Neither can I,' was my answer. 'But there was something wrong just the same.' "You're right—something wrong. Hold on—I've got it! We didn't have a ball' "And it was a fact, and this is what rendered the game so remarkable, though, as I said before—" "Parson,' interrupted the judge solemnly, "will you do us a favor?" "Certainly." "Never mind about what you said before." (Copyright, 1914, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) CHANCE FOR THE RIGHT MAN Present Engagement Being Off, Young Lady Announced Herself as Ready for the Next. She had entered a Third avenue jewelry store with a typical Bowery gait, and walking up to a clerk, she handed out a ring and brusquely queried: "What's it worth?" "Very little," he answered after a brief glance. "Do you call it a diamond?" "No; it's not a diamond?" "Didn't cost $500, did it?" "Oh, no." "About 75 cents, eh?" "That would be nearer its value, I think. I hope you didn't buy that for a diamond ring?" "No, I didn't. My feller gave it to me for an engagement ring." "I see," said the clerk, as he turned his head away to smile. "Said it was a $500 proof of his love." "Yes." "I've been a little suspicious all along, but didn't want to raise a row. Only glass, eh? Seventy-five cents buys 'em anywhere? Well, the engagement is off, the feller has got the cold throw-down, and I'm ready for the next! See!"—Washington Herald TULSA. OKLA.. STAR RECIPES WORTH WHILE DISHES THAT SHOULD HAVE PLACE IN HOUSEHOLD. Roman Meat Pudding May Be Recommended as One of the Most Satisfactory Substantial Dainties— Giblet Sauce. Roman Meat Pudding.—Boll half a cup of broken vermicelli in salted water for ten minutes. Drain. Mince fine any cold cooked meats such as chicken, veal, mutton or beef and add a cup of cold soup, gravy or soup stock. Season nicely, add one beaten egg, three tablespoonfuls of tomato sauce or thick tomato pulp and the vermicelli. Season with a tablespoonful each of minced onion and parsley, and more salt and pepper if necessary. Have ready some macaroni, bolled tender in salted water. It should be broken in three-inch lengths and about a pint of it prepared. Grease a plain mold or bread tin and line with the macaroni. Put in the prepared mince, cover closely with lid or tie in floured cloth and steam half an hour. Serve hot, with an ordinary white or cream sauce. Giblet Sause.—When the chicken is placed in oven to roast, prepare the giblets—heart, liver, gizzard, neck, tips of wings. The French, creole or Missouri cook also uses the head and feet, carefully cleaned and skinned—for they have a great deal of "goodness" in them and give body to the broth and sauce on account of the gelatin they contain. Break the bones of feet, head and wings and take only the four tender fillets from the gizzard, and do not cut the gizzard open at all, thus avoiding the contact of the meaty part and contents of the gizzard, unless, perchance, you are one of the very thrifty and provident housekeepers and have learned from some old mammy or Tante Zoe to preserve the lining of chicken gizzards for use in making your junkets. Be careful to remove the gall sack, without breaking, from the liver. Cover the giblets with cold water and cook them gently while the chicken roasts. When done, chop fine and return to the broth, in which they are cooked. Stir this into the brown gravy made in the pan after the chicken is dished up. If you want an extra touch to the gravy, chop six button mushrooms and six parboiled oysters and add to the gravy a few minutes before serving. Snow Pudding—This is a little troublesome, but is a very delicate and refreshing dessert, and especially suited for serving with a rich or heavy dinner. Soak a quarter of a box of gelatin in a quarter of a cup of cold water until soft. Then dissolve in a pint of boiling water, with a cup of sugar, adding the juice of one large or two small lemons. When sugar and gelatin dissolve, strain into a basin and chill as quickly as possible, stirring frequently until it is cold enough to begin to congeal; then whip to a stiff froth with egg whip or beater and fold in the whites of three eggs whipped to a stiff white foam. Pour into a pyramid-shaped mold or into custard cups, and set in a cold place until next day. This quantity will serve two meals for a small family. Turn out and pour a custard around it. Chicken and Potato Croquette Mix two cupfuls of mashed potatoes with two beaten egg yolks, season with salt and pepper and cook until mixture will leave the side of the pan, then set aside to cool. Mince a cupful of shredded chicken with half a cupful of blanched almonds, and seasoning and enough rich milk to hold ingredients together. Spread the potato mixture in flat cakes, fill the centers with the chicken mixture and roll into balls. Fry in deep fat after crumbling in the usual manner. Home-Made SIrup. Put one cupful of granulated sugar into a frying pan or iron skillet and melt it without water, stirring constantly to keep from burning. When melted have ready one pint of boiling water and add it at once. The sugar will form a hard cake, but the water will run under it and keep it from burning. Now add one and one-half cupful of sugar and boil until the melted sugar is dissolved. This makes a golden brown sirup with a delicious flavor and costs much less than any cheap brand one can buy. Orange Fool. Beat the juice of six oranges gradually into three eggs and two cupuples of cream. Add sugar to taste and a little grated nutmeg. Stir in a double boiler over hot water until thick and then chill. Serve cold in tall stemmed glasses. Light Cake. One cupful sugar, one heaping cupful flour, two teaspoonfuls cream tartar, one teaspoonful soda; sift three times: break two eggs into cup and fill with cream.

Windhurst and Bladderburst were rival towns in the gulch when the champion of the hair-trigger arrived in the vicinity. Each settlement wanted him for an attraction. The committee from Windhurst got to him first, and the chairman of the committee asked: "How much do you want to shoot up the town for one night?" The champion's ultimatum was in these words: "All you've got in money; town to furnish the liquor and powder; first rakeoff from all games; hundred per cent of movin' pictures; and all royalties from my forthcoming book, 'Easy Marks I've Met.' Does it go?" The committee allowed that it would put their posterity in the poorhouse, but decided that the gaiety of Bladderburst must be squeaked. Thereupon the champion was given the right of way for a one-night upshoot of Windhurst, all rights being reserved for the champion.—The Sunday Magazine.

Half the time, I could not move, only when I was turned over by some one. Oh! how I suffered, no one knows. I was told that I would have to go through an operation, but at the time of the operation, I was too weak to undergo it, and I decided there was no chance for me. As a last resort, my mother advised me to try Cardul, the woman's tonic, and my husband bought me a bottle. I could tell from the first that it was doing me good, and by the time I had taken the first bottle, I could stand on my feet. I got another bottle, and before I had taken it up, I was just about well. The pains all stopped, and in a short while I was able to do my work.

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.

Made by Van Vleet-Mansfield Drug Co., Memphis, Tenn. Price $1.00 FARM POULTRY Mother Hen and Little Ones Should Not Be Crowded-Into Filthy Coop—Keep Houses Clean. What's the use of jamming an old mother hen into the coop with a brood of chicks every night, making the crowded coop more filthy and liable to promote disease? Separate the old hen from the chicks at once, and get her to laying. Don't think for one moment that, simply because the poultry have plenty of range, and get many varieties of feed, they need no grit furnished them. Try offering them a handful and see how quickly they devour it; then keep it before them constantly, at the rate of about a quart for every fifty fowls three times a week. As all grass and other green feed soon will grow dry and short, try planting some small beds of lettuce, beets and radishes in the poultry yard, and when the plants come up and are beginning to grow well, remove the Laying House for Small Flock. brush and watch the fowls devour the tender greenness to their satisfaction and your profits. The early chicks are the ones that will make the winter layers. Oh, yes, they'll bring in a little more money just now than the later chicks, but if you ever expect any improvement in your flock, and want to get eggs during the winter months, when they are the highest price, you'll have to take a long-range, future squint at the proposition, and act accordingly. DRY MASH FOR LAYING HENS Ground Grains May Be Mixed in About Equal Proportions by Weight—Feed in a Hopper. Cornmeal, wheat bran, wheat middlings and finely ground oats are suitable ingredients for a dry mash for laying hens. Any one of these ingredients may be omitted without seriously affecting either the health or the egg yield, though it is an excellent plan to retain the wheat bran on account of its laxative qualities. These ground grains may be mixed in about equal proportions by weight. Add also, unless fed separately, finely ground alfalfa or clover, a level teaspoonful of salt to each dry quart of mash, and for the best egg yield 20 to 25 per cent of beef scraps and bone meal in the proportion of 5 per cent Feed your mash in a hopper that does not waste it. If you do not have such, use a shallow box, 15 to 18 inches square and no more than 6 inches high. Cover the mash with one-half inch mesh wire, and just a little smaller than the box. IMPROVEMENT OF THE FLOCK Fowls for Show Purposes Require Closer Inbreeding Than Those Intended for General Use. After carefully looking over your male birds if you do not notice any predominating points which will tend toward the improvement of your flock it would pay you to purchase some good male birds of the same breed with the points desired. If your flock has been too closely inbred it is also advisable to buy males from another flock. Birds for show purposes, as the first consideration, require closer inbreeding than those for utility purposes. This is necessary to gain any noteworthy headway, and it is carried on by most of the successful poultry fanciers of today. There is a limit to such line of breeding, and for best results it requires study and careful selection of the matings. IMMIGRATION INSPECTOR P.

The bumps festered and came to a head and the corruption looked like thick matter, kind of a yellow color. The sores itched so badly until it seemed to me she would scratch herself to pieces and then a sore would form and her clothes would stick to her body and pull off the little scab. In some places she would scratch and irritate the sores until they seemed to be large. She was affected about a year. "I wrote for a sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I bathed her body in warm water and Cuticura Soap and then I applied the Cuticura Ointment, and they afforded relief after twice using.

TULSA. OKLA. STAR FAT MAN FOR THE BARBER Wielder of the Razor Declares It Takes Longer to Shave the Thin Individual. "Is it easier to shave a fat man than a thin one?" Don't be afraid to ask your barber this question. He will consider it a perfectly legitimate query, and nine times out of ten will answer in favor of the fat man. A barber who has been lathering and shaving faces of all types for the last 20 years said recently: "I would rather shave a fat man than a thin one any day. Of course, I haven't any choosing. I have to take them all as they come. But a stout man's face is fuller, and therefore it is easier to pass over with the razor. A barber has to be more careful in shaving the man with a thin face. It is a harder proposition, and it seems, somehow or another, that his beard becomes stronger than the fat man's. "People who are in a hurry often leave the shop when they see a fat man get in the chair in front of them. They think that it will be a long job, while, on the contrary, it doesn't take as long to shave him as it would a thin man." The barber who shaved "Little Willie," Philadelphia's fattest fat man, who weight 455 pounds, never complained about the job, and moreover never charged him any more than any other customer.—Philadelphia Ledger. Hia Condition. The big red touring car struck a pedestrian, rolling him in the mud and maltreating him in general. The owner ran back, greatly excited, after stopping his car.

In a newly published book of reminiscences a good story is told of the late Sir William Harcourt. He was about to get into a hansom when a friend passing in a brougham offered to give Sir William, whose avoiddupois was considerable, a lift to his town house. Sir William accepted the offer and gave the disappointed Jehu a shilling. "Only a boy, guv'nor," he asked, ruefully. "Certainly," was the reply. "I never got into your cab." "But, guv'nor," responded the Jehu, "consider the fright you gave the hoss."—Pearson's Weekly. A CLERGYMAN'S TESTIMONY. The Rev. Edmund Heslop of Wigton, Pa., suffered from Dropsy for a year.

"There, you are the first woman in this world who ever took a stitch on a sewing machine," Howe said to Miss Kilbourn when at his invitation she tried the machine. Miss Elizabeth Kilbourn, now over eighty years old, was then a teacher in a private school in New Hartford, and was interested in Elias Howe's inventive work. She is at present ill in a Connecticut hospital. Elias Howe was very poor in those days and sharpened knives and did odd jobs for a living in his basement shop. When he had perfected his sewing machine he went to Bridgeport, and shortly afterward Wheeler and Wilson moved there from Watertown, Conn., and the three combined, and Howe died rich. A man never looks better than when he is looking for another man who owes him money. Sick Women Attention Is it possible there is a woman in this country who continues to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial after all the evidence that is continually being published, which proves beyond contradiction that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffering among women than any other one medicine in the world? We have published in the newspapers of the United States more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been published in the interest of any other medicine for women and every year we publish many new testimonials, all genuine and true.

A Good Man Gone departure of Rev. F. K. White former baptist Church, for Los Angeles, Cal., where age of a church, the people of Tulsa, loses citizens and a true tried friend to the chur here a little more than one year and dur In the departure of Rev. F. K. White former pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, for Los Angeles, Cal., where he has gone to take charge of a church, the people of Tulsa, loses one of their most worthy citizens and a true tried friend to the church. He had been pastor here a little more than one year and during that time he bought and paid for a corner lot on North Elgin on which it was his ambition to erect a $15,000.00 church for his people. But his health began to fail him and this great work was temporairly given up. A few weeks ago he accepted an invitation from the people of Los Angtles to visit them and conduct a revival for them. He found after getting out there that the climate improved his health and when the people of that city offered him a nice salary to pastor a church there he availed himself of the opportunity to regain his health. Accordingly he returned to Tulsa and notified his people of his intentions. The members of his church loved him as children love their father and he was very devoted to them. When they learned that he was going to leave them they were grieved but they relented when they learned that his health was at steak. Last Sunday and Sunday night Rev. White spent with his flock, advising them as a good father and saying his farewell words to them. Sunday night he turned over to the trustees of the church a full and complete report of his administration, which showed a remarkable increase in the membership and financial condition of the Church since he took charge of it. The Church now has a bank account of more than $200.00, and is clear of all debts. Besides his adherent Christian policies Rev. White is a devoted race man. He believes firmly in fostering race enterprises and never fails to advocate this principle whenever the opportunity comes whether in the pulpit or on the streets. He has probably spent more money to help race industries in Tulsa than any other one man here. Such men are a credit to any city. Tulsa's loss in this case is a distinct gain for Los Angeles. The people of that Western city may well congratulate themselves for having secured the services of such a man as Frank K. White. The Star wishes him all the success he deserves and cheerfully commends him to the people of his new home.

Warning To Farmers The attention of the Department of Agriculture has been called to the very unsatisfactory condition of a large part of the cotton seed which has been reserved for planting in Oklahoma and in parts of Texas and Arkansas. Weather conditions during a large part of the picking season were unfavorable and a large percentage of this seed has been injured in vitality. Unless germination tests are made on all seed to be used for planting purposes it is believed that many unsatisfactory stands will result. The attention of the department has also been called to the fact that an active campaign has been undertaken to introduce into portions of this territory a variety of cotton which is represented as producing fifty per cent of lint, or a five hundred pound bale from a thousand pound load of seed cotton. The department's representatives have examined this cotton in the field, and have grown it in experimental plantings during the last two seasons. The lint has been found to be exceedingly short, the large proportions of lint, to seed apparently resulting from the fact that the seeds are very small and light. It has not been found a heavy producer of lint per acre. The department has always refrained from recommending it because it was believed that its very short staple would soon be recognized by the mills, and that there would be consequent discrimination against it. During the past season several of the largest cotton buying firms in Oklahoma and Arkansas issued orders to their agents not to purchase this cotton at any price. They stated that its lint was so far inferior to that ordinarily grown in their territory that they knew it would not be acceptable to their regular customers. The department has, within the last few weeks, received several letters from planters in Arkansas asking advice concerning this cotton, and stating that the local buyers were warning them against it because the mills were discriminating against the localities in which is is being largely grown. In view of these facts the department warns the farmers of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas that the introduction of any new variety of cotton producing fiber of less than seven-eighths of an inch in average length will be likely to seriously damage the reputation of their local markets, and may result in a few years in basing the price of this inferior cotton. These same districts are now receiving a slight premium over the regular quotations for short staple. The department will particularly regret to see the result of the campaign which has been waged in Oklahoma in behalf of pure Triumph cotton jeopardized by the promiscuous introduction of a cotton of greatly inferior staple. Such a policy must result in very serious losses to all the growers in the communities where the poorer types become common. Repeated complaints are received from English Spinners of the number of mixy bales of American cotton. This condition arises largely through the introduction of short cotton into staple communities or of long staple into short cotton country. Any serious mixing of varieties which have fiber of different lengths results in serious losses in waste whenever the cotton is spun upon machinery adjusted for the longer varieties. Spinners who are using Triumph will be quick to discover any serious admixture of shorter and inferior cotton, and growers of Triumph cotton will suffer if such varieties become popular in their territory.

The image shows a dense forest with tall trees and a shallow stream running through the center. The trees are mostly tall and slender, with a few branches visible. The forest floor is covered with a layer of fallen leaves and small plants. The stream appears to be a narrow, shallow waterway, possibly a small river or a stream. The overall scene is quiet and serene, with no visible human activity or wildlife. Typical Scene In the Swamp Region of the Mississippi Valley. If Drained This Land Would Be Worth $300 an Acre. Under Present Conditions It Produces Malaria Mosquitoes. The malaria mosquito is not only causing tremendous annual losses in farm labor and production in the South, but is indirectly increasing the destructiveness of the cotton boll weevil, according to statements of specialists of the United States department of agriculture. These statements follow a study of a mosquito-infected plantation in Louisiana made during the last cotton and corn crop season by specialists of the bureau of entomology as a preliminary to a more extended investigation of the effect of malaria on farm production and profits. On this single farm the specialists found that the malaria mosquito so affected the workers that the equivalent of 7.39 weeks of work by adult labor were lost per family during the seasons when crops were under cultivation. This does not include the lessened efficiency of convalescents or the lack of interest and energy resulting from malarial illness. The Louisiana farm selected for the experiment contains 3,540 acres, of which 1,800 acres was under cultivation and 1,740 acres was in swamp land timber. The natural conditions on the plantation, it is believed, prevail on nearly 200,000 square miles of farming land in the South. Of the tilled acreage about 1,600 acres were cultivated by tenant farmers who took three-fourths of their yield if they supplied mules, seed, implements, and feed, or one-half of their yield if the plantation owner supplied these items. The balance of the cultivated acreage was worked with day labor at one dollar per day. The plantation physician stated at the beginning of the survey that fully 75 per cent. of the families on the plantation were afflicted with malaria and at least two members of every afflicted family had the disease in a serious form at some time during the crop season. Nine out of every ten patients in his practise he said were malaria subjects. A study of the records of the plantation show that 46 out of 64 families were treated for malaria by the doctor during the past season. This number is probably too low, the department's specialists believe, because many families try to avoid the cost of medical attendance, and the negro has a natural aversion to proper medical treatment. Effect of Malaria in 12 Families. The department's investigator made a detailed study of 12 families with the following results: Number in family. Location in house. No. sick account of family. Malaria. Weeks 8 Near woods ... 8 11 8 Near woods and along Bayou ... 7 20½ 7 Open field ... 3 6½ 8 Along Bayou ... 8 6 8 Near woods ... 6 7½ 7 Near woods ... 2 2 7 Along Bayou ... 1 5 8 Open field ... 1 2 8 Along Bayou ... 5 15 8 Open field ... 1 2 8 Along Bayou ... 2 8 4 Open field ... 8 8 65 42 88½ The number of cases in these families which reported sickness would indicate that there were 149 persons who suffered seriously from the dis- ease in the total of 64 families. In these cases the loss of time involved represents only the severe cases. The number who have the disease in an inactive state or some other form is undoubtedly far in excess of these figures. Loss of Time Through Malaria. Presuming that the loss of 88.75 weeks for 12 families holds for the 46 infected families, the total loss of time would be 340 weeks for the 46 malarial families. The loss of time is based on the work of an adult. Members of the family between twelve and sixteen years of age are figured at one-half time, and those between eight and twelve at one-fourth. This loss of time figured at the rate of wages of one dollar per day would amount to $2,380. This does not include the actual loss for medical fees and medicine. As these people are tenant farmers, however, it is to be presumed that their labor is worth more to themselves and the plantation than that of the usual day laborer. As this loss of labor was distributed throughout the season, the actual loss to the plantation and to the tenant farmer would have to be figured on the effect on the crop of this loss of time spread over the crop season. The investigators were unable to do this during the past season. But in consequent investigations the actual per acre production of the malarial and nonmalarial farms will be contrasted so as to determine the actual effect of malaria on the crop. Inasmuch as malaria affects these people most seriously during the critical times of corn and cotton cultivation, it is probable that it directly lessens the production. The loss of time figured is for actual incapacity on account of sickness, and does not include the loss of time by healthy members of the family in nursing the members who were ill. In one case observed by the investigator, the wife was suffering from a serious attack of malaria and the husband remained at home to take care of her. There were five children in this family who usually work with their parents in the field. These were all congregated in idleness about the house in spite of the fact that the work of picking cotton was in progress and the weather was most favorable. As a result, the entire time of this family of seven was lost through the illness of one member. The loss of time figured is merely the time of actual incapacity and does not take into consideration the diminished strength, energy and interest of the patient when he is trying to work in the fields during his convalescence. Effect of Malaria on Efficiency. Effect of malaria on Efficiency. The manager of the property states that an estimate, based on actual loss of time, which would place the loss to the plantation owners from reduced production at $3,835, and to the tenants at $1,115, would be very low. This would mean that if the loss were prevented there would be an increased income of $24 per family for each of the 46 malarial tenant families together with the above increase in returns to the plantation. This manager is positive that 50 families, or possibly even MOSQUITO The Malaria Mosquito, Made at Right and Female at Left. Note Spotted Wings and, in the Female, the Long Projections on Either Side of the Beak. as few as 40 families, without malaria could have produced as much as the 64 families under the malarial conditions that prevailed. Our or to at The manager of another plantation, which raises rice, states that the labor problem, because of malaria, is acute at the time of planting and during the harvest season. He says that "chills" are particularly serious during the harvest season, and that the labor force then becomes greatly reduced. In 1912 he had to go outside his district for hands and recruited 35 men. These men were all in healthy condition and worked well for two weeks. At the end of this time they began to have "chills," and before the end of the harvest 20 out of 35 were incapacitated for work. All these men returned to their homes. In 1913 the same man sought to recruit men from the same place to harvest the rice crop, but they refused to come. They stated that their physician advised them not to go to the rice fields. This physician informed the manager that these men who worked for him during the previous-season returned to their homes unfit for work in the cane during the grinding season, and that he advised them not to go north to the rice fields. Another manager of a cane plantation also stated that men who had worked in the rice fields were unfit on their return home, because of malaria, to work in the cane fields. Malarla and Boll Weevil Injury. An important observation made in this region by the investigator during the past season is that portions of the loss through injury by the boll weevil must be debited to malaria. Under normal conditions, the loss of time is not always so serious a matter, after the cotton crop is laid by and before time of picking. Under boll weevil conditions, however, both loss of time The Malaria Mosquito, Made at Right and Wings and, in the Female, the Long the Beak. and decreased efficiency become more serious throughout the entire season. Failure to keep up with the crop, that is, to plant at the right time, to give the crop good cultivation, and to carry out control measures for weevil, gives the weevil an advantage over the plant. Many of the tenants are incapacitated by malaria at these critical times in the culture of the crop. The owner of one plantation said that the loss sustained through malaria far exceeds that of the boll weevil. In the case of the boll weevil, only one crop suffers; while in the case of malaria not only all crops but all agricultural development, as well, suffer. Suggested Remedy for the Loss. The investigators found that the mosquito which was the cause of malaria on the plantation studied was the Anopheles quadrimaculatus Say, one of the species of Anopheles known to carry malaria. The Anopheles can be distinguished from other mosquitoes in the following way: The wings of this malaria-carrying mosquito are more or less spotted. The projections on either side of its beak are nearly as long as the beak itself. The easiest way to distinguish this mosquito is by observing its resting position. The Anopheles when biting has its beak and head and body in the same line at an angle from the skin. The non-malarial mosquito, or Culex, keeps its body and wings parallel with the resting place and its beak is at an angle with its body, like the letter "L" laid on its side. On the plantation in question, the malarial mosquito was found in the house and frequently in the mosquito-bars over the beds in the negro cabins. As a result of this study the investigators do not believe that the screening of negro cabins would be effective, because the negroes are careless about keeping mosquitoes out of their houses and the presence of a malaria-carrying mosquito screened in with a malaria subject would practically insure the infection of the entire family. Negroes are usually careless about going out after nightfall. Outside of work hours, on holidays, or at night, the negro farmer is apt to be at a lodge meeting, at the store, at church, in a saloon, or in the cabin of some friend—in fact any place except his own home. This habit of congregating at night outside of their own cabins would practically offset any protection to them through screening of their dwellings.

Reduction of malaria, the report concludes, depends upon the control of the mos- and Female at Left. Note Spotted long Projections on Either Side of quito-carriers of the disease. In the ultimate control, drainage will probably play the greater part. Opinions of Scientists. The opinion of the two managers quoted are in line with the following references: Prof. Glenn W. Herrick of Cornell, formerly state entomologist of Mississippi. In 1903, wrote: "The South as a whole has given little thought to the tremendous role malaria plays in her industries, especially in agriculture. We have no idea of the loss occasioned by malaria in unfitting men for long or energetic hours of labor. The loss of energy and enthusiasm, the loss of interest in one's own efforts and success, all of which contribute enormously to the inefficiency of labor and cause the wealth-producing power, especially in agriculture, tc fall far short of its normal capacity, is due in a marvelous and undreamed-of degree to that lifesapping disease, malaria. The man that is just able to 'crawl out of bed and drag around' is certainly not the man to accomplish an efficient and full day's labor. Because a man is at work is not necessarily a proof that he is actually adding to the sum total of his own wealth or to that of the state, and in a lesser degree does it prove that he is adding to the sum total of wealth, all of which he is capable. A man's general state of health has quite as much relation to his producing powers as the amount and kind of food he eats. And certainly there is no disease known to man that more insidiously undermines his constitution and lessens his ability to produce his full measure of wealth than malaria." Dr. W. E. Hinds, state entomologist of Alabama (1912), estimates that 2,000,000 persons in the South are incapacitated because of malaria. Prof. R. W. Harned, state entomologist of Mississippi says: "In my opinion the malaria-transmitting mosquitoes are by far the worst pests in this state. I think that their damage is greater than that of the boll weevil and most of the other crop pests combined."

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS There is certainly one thing which the negro has done since his emancipation gave him the opportunity. He has proved himself a brave, capable soldier. The military history of the nation for the past half century bears abundant witness to the fact. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, the former chief of the army, gave excellent testimony to this effect in his address at the Lincoln birthday celebration at Quinn chapel, Chicago, when he said: "Even in the Civil war the negro proved that he was brave and worthy to be a free man. When volunteers were called to man vessels which were destined to go down to sure destruction against the Confederate vessel Merrimac, the terror of the seas, an appeal for negro volunteers was made and all who heard the call responded. In the fever camps of the Spanish war, after negro troops had taken and held San Juan hill, a call was made for volunteers to fight fever in the hospitals. An entire regiment responded as one man. The negro is a brave soldier. He has the stuff of which good citizens are made." That is expert testimony. General Miles is quite right in instancing the willingness of the negro soldiers to serve in fever camps as a great example of heroism. It is a better example than mere courage in the face of death on the field. The story told by Samuel Lover of the Catholic priest who effectively rebuked the military braggart by telling of having just left a smallpox case, whereupon the military man in horror moved his seat far away from the priest, well illustrates this point. The negro is brave on the field. His aptitude for nursing the sick is well understood. The records of the graduates of Provident hospital in this city show that young negro women make excellent nurses. Altogether, there is no denying the negro's courage, and, although it takes more than mere courage to make good citizens, the possession of this excellent attribute gives emphasis to the claims which the negro is making good in many ways.—Chicago Inter Ocean. The form of government in Liberia is modeled after that of the United States, with a president, vice-president, cabinet officers, senate, legislature and judiciary, all of whom are black men, descendants of Afro-Americans or natives, many educated and trained in institutions of learning in Liberia. The present president, Daniel E. Howard, was educated in Liberia and is the son of a former slave from Norfalk, Va. The seat of government is located at Monrovia, a city of 10,000 inhabitants, where there is located, also, the United States legation, consulates of France, Germany, England, Spain and Central America. Most of these governments have large commercial interests, which give the city of Monrovia buite a modern form of civilization, notwithstanding the climate is very unhealthy, caused from lack of proper sanitation, hospitals and poor water supply. The constitution forbids the right of any white man to own real estate or vote in Liberia. There are no more cheap lands in the West. Land that was sold 13 years ago for $1 an acre is now selling at from $10 to $100 in sections where there are successful irrigation systems. "Down deep in the heart of the average American there is a sense of fair play, and he is willing to recognize success, whether it is under a white or black skin," Booker T. Washington, president of Tuskegee institute, told a gathering of negroes at Kansas City. The educator spoke at the Second Baptist church to more than a thousand members. "What we need to do is to advertise our advantages as a race, our ability to overcome difficulties," he said. "Leave it to others to advertise our shortcomings and our disadvantages. "It does not, pay in business and it will not pay as a race to advertise our troubles and our failures to the world." Japan has about 125 steam trawlers, and at the present rate of increase the number will reach several hundred in a couple of years. The catches range from five to ten tons each, and the net profit on one ton of fish is $50 to $75. The average optimist is like a toy balloon. It does not take much of a punch to make him collapse. Booker Washington talked in New York a few days ago of what the negro has done in the last 50 years in the United States. "I'm proud of my race," he declared. "I tell you that the American negro is the only dark-skinned race that ever lived side by side with you white men—and grew." Because of the negro's tangible as well as spiritual achievements he thinks that some consideration should be shown him. "You should allow the negro a chance a readjust himself to his changed conditions," said Washington. He has a habit of telling a story to illustrate the point he wishes to make. He told such a story now. "I called on a friend of mine," said he. "He was a lawyer in Jacksonville. He lived there in a fine new house—I'm afraid to tell you how much money that house cost. He was proud of it and he showed me around. By and by he came to the dining room. "When I put my foot on this bell, he said, standing by the dining room table, 'the maid comes to see what I want.' "So he put his foot on the bell and the maid came. Then he put his foot on the bell again and the maid popped in at the door. He motioned her away, but pretty soon he put his foot on the bell again, and the maid came once more. "What are you doing that for?" I asked him. "Well,' said he, 'it isn't so long since I was a Pullman porter. And I can't get used to seeing people come when I ring for 'em.'" Washington compared this man with another Pullman porter he once encountered. After the man had done his work Washington sat down to talk with him. He found the porter an educated and intelligent man. By and by the porter said: "Mr. Washington, I have some whiskey in my bag. Let's have a drink." Washington refused and expressed his surprise that a man of the other's apparent intelligence should drink on duty. "I wanted to be something once," said the porter, "but I've found out that I can never be anything but just a porter. Why shouldn't I drink? No one cares what a nigger porter does?" It's the first point of view, naturally, that Washington approves. The new spirit of co-operation is beautifully shown by the list of supporters of the social clinic at Nashville, Tenn. The room for the milk work is furnished by a negro woman of Nashville; milk is supplied by a fund raised by the Nashville Banner, the strongest daily in the city; the library is furnished by Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, a Jew; the dean of the woman's department is a white graduate of Chicago university; her salary is paid by the Christian Service society of Chicago; the expense of the playground is borne by a negro and so on and on. With the suddenness of an Arctic spring latent forces push to the light. From the good old days before the war, the young South has inherited the traditional love for the negro, which even in the bitterness engendered by the war, the older South never forgot. And the bitterness is drained away.—Boston Transcript.

SELLERS, Director of Eventing Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR APRIL 26 THE LOST SHEEP AND THE LOST COIN. LESSON TEXT—Luke 15:1-10. GOLDEN TEXT—"Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." Luke 15:10. 1. Introduction, vv. 1.3.—We now come to that chapter in the Bible which contains three of the more celebrated parables of our Lord. In last week's lesson we had set before us the severe terms of discipleship laid down by Jesus to the multitude which followed him as he left the house of the Pharisee. The writer, Luke, makes a close connection between the final admonition about "ears to hear" in chapter 14 and verse 1 of this lesson. Jesus had sifted the crowd though he had left the door open to himself, for he was seeking those who were prepared to share with him in his enterprises of building and of conflict, if they could bear his teaching. This is responded to by those outcast ones, the publicans and the sinners. They had no righteousness of their own, no spiritual centered in themselves and they turned eagerly to one who was unqualifiedly honest with them though at the same time he set up heart searching conditions. What a contrast! The grumbling theologians, criticizing and blickering, grieved that he should demean himself by such associates. In reply, Jesus shows them the truth of the fundamental purpose of God's attitude toward these who eagerly sought to "hear," by giving them these parables. In the first two, the sheep and the coin, we see divine love seeking the sinner; in the third, the prodigal, we see the sinner seeking the father. Christ's idea of goodness consists in saving the bad. The Pharisee holds aloof. Christ goes out from among the Pharisees and among the outcasts. True and False Shepherds. II. The Lost Sheep, vv. 4-7—The shepherd is God the son (John 10:11, 12; Luke 19:10). He is the "True Shepherd," the Pharisees were false ones. This adds point to the parable; see the Old Testament rebukes for the same, Ez. 34:7-10; Zech. 11:16-17; Jer. 50:6. The lost sheep belongs to the fold, but was out of place. These outcast ones were still Israelites and the backsliding Christian still belongs to the fold. A sinner is a lost sheep. He is away from the care, the protection, the guidance of the shepherd and is torn, bleeding, and "ready to die." One such lost one will call forth the shepherd's utmost endeavor to save it, far beyond the care lavished upon the ninety-and-nine already safe in the fold. This means labor, toll, and privation, and he keeps up the search "until he finds it." This does not mean that all will be saved, see John 17:2, 12 R. V., but every "sheep" that is astray he will find. Once found it rests upon his shoulders, is kept by his power, I Pet. 1:5. Over it he and the father rejoice, vv. 23, 24, 32. There is here the evidence of the interest in the flock which is incomplete and the interest of the owner as well. The safety of the lost one depended upon the shepherd's interest. III. The Lost Coin, vv. 8-10.—These three parables are a unit in the fact that they reveal the attitude of God toward men who are in their deepest need. Each is the story of something being lost and the fact that it is found. The first is a revelation of the son, the last of the father, while this central one sets forth the work of the holy spirit through the church. Rev. 22:17; Eph. 5:25. One of ten coins in this woman's marriage necklace is lost, hence the incompleteness. The spirit will not rest until it is found, nor should the church. The woman takes her lamp—the word of God, Ps. 119:105; Phil. 2:15, 16—and sweeps the house. It has been suggested that sweeping usually stirs up a dust and that some are likely to object. So the world will object when the church of the living God begins to stir up a dust and they are annoyed at any eager search for the lost ones, Acts 17:6. The woman is a suggestion to us in that she sought "diligently," until the lost coin was found. Then she, too, calls in her neighbors that they may rejoice with her. Does the church keep up a like search? And do we know anything about the "joy" of the holy spirit? Gal. 5:22, I Thess. 1:6. Over the wellbeing of the home the woman watches and again the search is in the interest of the owner, and in the interest of the household. EAGLE LOAN CO.

Matilda Dunbar, his mother, was a slave, Paul Dun bar was a genius, At the age of seven years he wrote his first verse. It was 4 child's poem, bat even then the Mekerings of a great talent were ap- parent. At schoél he was a diligent pupil, his favorite studies being spell: ing, grammar and literature. When in high school he edited The High School Times, a monthly publication Issued by pubils of the Steele High School. ‘This work was done with so much tet and evinced such extraor linary talent that many an older head predicted the boy's future renown, He graduated from High school in 1891, and the class song composed by him was sung at the commencement exer- cises, After he graduated he sought egular work but on every hand his color told against him and at last he was compelled to accept a position as levator boy in a hotel. Every mo nent that could be snatched from his busy hours was utilized in improving nis brilliant mind, ‘The best thing 1e wrote in those days were the po- ams which were couched in classic Snglish, and the production of such erses proved far more than his dia- ect the remarkable scope of his men- tality. Im 1892, when the Western Associa- jon met at Dayton, Ohio, Mrs. Trues: Jale, one of Dunbar's former teachers, srouglit about an invitation for him to leliver the address of welcome. After aaving delivered the welcome he dis- ippeared as quickly as he came, Many nquiries were made concerning the adiad, He was later made a member af the Association. Several of Dun- var’s poems were reproduced. Among hese was his “Drowsy Day.” At the West End Club at Toledo, Ohio, he ‘ecited “An Ode to Ethiopia.” Dunbar vent to Chicago at the opening of the Norld's Columbian Exposition, where ae was given a position by Hon. Fred Jouglass, then in charge of the exhib- t from Hayti. On “Colored Foiks Day” at the fair Pau! Dunbax was called upon to ren- jer several selections before thous unds of his people. The verses were greatly appreciated, but when it was announced by an Episcopal clergyman ‘rom Washington, D. C., that the com: positions were original, the applause. was deafening, In the autumn of 1895. Dr. Tobey, a great friend of Dunbar's sent a second invitation to Dunbar to come to Toledo to give a special read: ing at the Asylum, At this second recital Dunbar read many poems which were new to his Toledo friends. He also write “Maj- ors and Minors,” and “The Crisis." He was a guest at a banquet given by the sreat Savage club of London, where 1e was asked to recite, and after the ‘irst number he was lifted bodily to thet able, and enthusiastically en- sored. At an entertainment at the Southplace Institute, Dunbar recited yome poems. The pieces selected were from the “Lyrics of Lowly Life”, one of these “When Malindy Sings,” veing an artistic blending of drollery ind pathos. Another “Accountability.” He died February 9th, 1906 at Al- bany, N.Y. ETTA KIDD. “My wife and I recommend Dr. Miles’ Nervine for Fits and xpasms.

However, it is a noticeable fact that, although the erude product has taken a decided slump with promises of even further decline, the refined product is. still sold at the same price with prospects of a slight increase in the near future. Great thing—this monopoly business. Oil is now selling for 85 cents per bar. rel. | When in Town — And you have a SORE FACE, or if your Hair is Long and and needs cut- ting, Call at 606 E.
