Smitherman, Editor, Dear Str: I see that you state through the columns of the "Star" of the 26 inst. that I, as chairman of the finance committee of Muskogee Local Negro Business League or or committee must have raised a thousand or twelve hundred dollars for the entertainment of the National Negro Business League which met in our city on August 19-21 1914. The following is the amount raised by the finance committee $1,624.41) Sixteen hundred twenty-four dollars and forty-one cents of which I hold a receipt from Mr. J. M. Love, treasurer of said League, T. J. Elliott, president of the State League $171.13, Profs. I. E. Page, and C. B. Bryant $72.75, paid to my secretary $26.50, for moving piano to lady's rest room $2.50 to Mrs. A. C. Perdue through Prof. J. W. Sharpe $1.00, total amount paid out by me as chairman $1,898.29 One Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety-eight Dollars and Twenty-nine cents all of which I hold receipts. Donations other than money given through committee or myself are as follows: Convention Hall one night and three days net $20 per night and day amounted to $80.00. Fair Ground one day $25.00. Ice Book from Crystal Ice Co. $5.00. Kroh's Music Co. Piano one week $5.00. Stationery by Muskogee Commercial Club (White) $32. Total amount of all donations other than money $142.00, One Hundred Forty-two Dollars. Total of money and donations $2,040.29. Believing that the public should know these details, I take this method of publishing same. Thanking you for this space, I beg to reman. R. H. WATERFORD, M. D. Chalman of Finance Committee of Muskogee Negro Business League. According to the above letter from Dr. Waterford Elliott received $171.13 of the funds raised by the finance committee and gave his receipt for it. For what purpose this money was spent is not stated. This with the $420.00 he received from Boley, Okmulgee, Boynton and Clearyview, makes a total of $591.13, nearly six hundred dollars, put into the hands of Elliott. How has he spent this money? Why not give the public a statement? If he is honest and believes in fair play he will certainly do so. Information has been received at this office that Elliott bought only sixteen tickets. We do not know how many tickets Elliott bought, and Elliott will not say how many he bought, so we will accept the information we have—that he bought 16 tickets, making a total of $60.00 which leaves a balance of $531.13, still unaccounted for. The public is entitled to know how this money was spent and THE TULSA STAR which has a general circulation throughout the state has offered to publish without charge any statement Elliott would make concerning the expenditure of the money he has received, but up to date he has not accepted our offer. Two or three weeks ago "Jumbo" took up the defense of Elliott and among other things said all the Colored papers of Muskogee were paid The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1914. for advertising the National League. This was evidently done to help juggle the peoples money. The Tulsa Star has offered to give a reward of $25.00 to any editor or manager of a Colored paper in Muskogee or anywhere else who would sign an affidavit that he received as much as $10.00 for advertising the National League, but no one has accepted our proposition up to this writing. We presume, therefore, that the daily papers of Muskogee received at least 98 per cent of the $100.00 paid out for advertising the National League. The statement of "Jumbo" however, that every Colored paper in Muskogee was paid for advertising the League, is proven to be an absolutely falsehood by the following communication from Rev. S. S. Jones, editor of the Baptist Informer, the oldest Colored paper in Muskogee: Muskogee, Okla., Sept. 28, 1914. Mr. A. J. Smitherman, Editor Tulsa Star, Tulsa, Okla. Dear Sir:— Replying to yours of a few days ago, I beg to say my paper did not receive any money for advertising the National League nor did I get a ticket to Boley. I hope no one is charging that I did receive any. I did not get any "ad" for the League nor did I ask for a ticket. It will be remembered that Rev. Jones not only used his paper to boost the League, but personally worked up the parade which attracted so much attention and said to be the biggest and best industrial parade ever seen in the Southwest. Notwithstanding his very valuable services to the local league, he was utterly ignored when it came to paying out money for newspapers and issuing the "free tickets." Is this kind of practice in keeping with the policies of the National League? Certainly not. But it is the kind of practice peculiar to Elliott's Policy regarding race enterprises. The Star Leads The following letter shows that the Star is the leading race paper in Tabor as well as in every other town in the state: Tabor, Okla., 9-28-1914. The Tulsa Star, Tulsa, Okla. Gentlemen:— I address you regarding a space in the columns of your paper, for the publishing of the Church and Sunday school proceedings at this place and also other facts that may be sent you for publication from time to time. We do this to let others know just what we are trying to do for the better ment of our community. This was requested of me by the Sunday school at this place to ask for a space in the columns of your paper, since it has a larger subscription at this place than any other Colored paper in the state. Please give me your terms and publishing dates in order that we may get started in the work. Awaiting your early reply, I am, Respectfully yours. Chas. Hubbard, Asst. Supt. The Man of The Hour M. B. COMMISSIONER THOMAS J. QUINN Head of the fire and police departments of the city ordered one of the real powers of the city government office last spring following a hotly contested charge of the police and fire departments here that he is the right man for the place. He has sufficient administration and all patriotic Quinn lived in St. Louis 25 years before coming and any office there, his long years of especial benefit to him in his present position, handed man with a big soft human heart. I am, but he is not altogether in harmony with municipal officials in dealing with the unfortunate clutches of the law. If left to Quinn, changes made in the city department of justice. The following words uttered by Mr. Quinn is week may serve as an index to the exalted. "Not until I took this office did I know we legitimate methods of revenue-getting a consistently continued Mr. Quinn. "A city court departments, is supposed to see that just in Tulsa it is not that way. Many times had fortunate been taken from him in police course he was, the money secured by the city life and little children in food and clothing." "The policemen of the department of who poor, honest working-men—because they take care not to blame. They are doing their duty because I am held responsible for the finance, so my part must be contributed to the gen- he fire and police departments of this city, who is in the real powers of the city government. Mr. Quinn is spring following a hotly contested campaign. The police and fire departments he has shown the right man for the place. He has rendered the city administration and all patriotic Tulsans are proud in St. Louis 25 years before coming to Tulsa and there, his long years of experience in that city to him in his present position.

If left to Mr. Quinn there certainly lie in the city department of justice. Long words uttered by Mr. Quinn in the Commission serve as an index to the exalted nature of this. I took this office did I know what desperate are methods of revenue-getting a city government, continued Mr. Quinn. "A city government, throws, is supposed to see that justice is given to us not that way. Many times has the last five-dollars taken from him in police court. He was drums, the money secured by the city will not keep the children in food and clothing until another paymen of the department of which I am the head working-men—because they take a few drinks, same. They are doing their duty. I am not to be held responsible for the financing of one certain must be contributed to the general expenses of Head of the fire and police departments of this city, who is generally considered one of the real powers of the city government. Mr. Quinn was elected to office last spring following a hotly contested campaign. Since he took charge of the police and fire departments he has shown the people of Tulsa that he is the right man for the place. He has rendered the city a high class, proficient administration and all patriotic Tulsans are proud of him. Mr. Quinn lived in St. Louis 25 years before coming to Tulsa and while he never held any office there, his long years of experience in that city has been of special benefit to him in his present position Mr. Quinn is a broad, liberal minded man with a big soft human heart. He is a man who loves to do his duty, but he is not altogether in harmony with the methods employed by the municipal officials in dealing with the unfortunates who unwittingly fall into the clutches of the law. If left to Mr. Quinn there certainly would be some changes made in the city department of justice. The following words uttered by Mr. Quinn in the Commissioners meeting this week may serve as an index to the exalted nature of this truly great man: "Not until I took this office did I know what desperate and what I think illegitimate methods of revenue-getting a city government is reduced to," hesitatingly continued Mr. Quinn. "A city government, through its legal and court departments, is supposed to see that justice is given to all," said Quinn. "In Tulsa it is not that way. Many times has the last five-dollar bill of a poor unfortunate been taken from him in police court. He was drunk, perhaps, but though he was, the money secured by the city will not keep his hardworked wife and little children in food and clothing until another pay day comes. "The policemen of the department of which I am the head, arrest men—poor, honest working-men—because they take a few drinks. The policemen are not to blame. They are doing their duty. I am not to blame, in one way, because I am held responsible for the financing of one certain department, and also my part must be contributed to the general expenses of the city." HOW ABOUT IT? "If the arresting officer is not to blame an on by the city laws, then to whom is this am backed by the laws of the city and the to see poor men, almost beggars, deprive if poor children need the money. testing officer is not to blame and I am freed from city laws, then to whom is this blame to be atta by the laws of the city and the state, it grieves for men, almost beggars, deprived of their last ce ren need the money. "If the arresting officer is not to blame and I am freed from lawful prosecution by the city laws, then to whom is this blame to be attached? Although I am backed by the laws of the city and the state, it grieves me—I don't like it—to see poor men, almost beggars, deprived of their last cent when a family of poor children need the money. "How are we to overcome it?" he asked. Then, after unbosoming this frank statement of conditions, he launched into a long argument, in a clearer tone of voice, in which he said that the merchants tax would be levied if found to be practicable, after the commission makes a complete investigation of the affair.

Subscription $1.00 Pər Year Oil Operations to Be Curtailed COMMISSION ALSO STOPS ALL DRILLING ON THE EAST SIDE PRAIRIE RESUMES ITS PIPE LINE RUNS ON FOMER BASIS. VIOLATION OF ORDER WILL BE PUNISHABLE BY LARGE FINE OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 30. (Special.)—A uniform price of 55 cents a barrel and the prohibiting of the drilling of any more wells without the permission of the commission, except in the drilling of offset wells when absolutely necessary, is the basis of the order made by the commission today relative to the oil and on which situation the commission has conducted a hearing for the past three days. MEANS RELIEF. The order was received apparently with satisfaction by the producers and other oil men. The order is meant to give temporary relief and to make it possible for the pipe lines to resume operations immediately. The action of the commission is simply to lead up to something else when a higher price for oil is hoped for. W. S. Fitzpatrick, attorney for the Prairie Oil & Gas Co., read a telegram received from the officers of the company in answer to a request from the commission to resume pipe line operations, saying that orders had been given to start the lines at once. The price of 55 cents is exactly that which the pipe line company offered when it suspended the taking of oil following the order of the commission that no oil should be taken for less than 65 cents. The order announced today relieves pipe lines from the common purchasers' provision. The restriction of production will be handled by the commission to the end that price of oil may be raised soon to 75 cents a barrel, below which the commission believes is waste. According to the order, no well shall be squibbed or shot. High School Girl Elopes to Wed High School Girl Elopes to Wed Beatrice Hughes, a Colored high school girl of this city and James Starr a porter at the Tulsa Hotel were married Thursday night, September 24th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Caver, 420 N. Elgin following a courtship of a few months. The girl's parents objected to the couple marrying but in this case as in thousands of others "love found a way." The girl begged her mother for permission to go to the moving picture show but instead went to Mr. Cavers residence and sent for Rev. Netherland who performed the ceremony. The bride is 18 years old and the groom is 21. Starr's home is at Tahlaquah and he is said to be a native. Not much is known of him here. The Hughes girl came here last year from her home at Hot Springs, Ark. City Cuts Pay Roll Police Commissioner Quinn and chief Burns last Wednesday morning materially reduced the monthly expenses of the city by letting five men off the police force. The officers let out were: Ollie Marshall, B. Murphy, Sam Walker, Mrs. Bradley, matron, and Jim Brand. The salaries of these five people represented $390 a month or $3, 900.00 a year.

ALLIED FORCES GAIN 20 MILES ON THE GERMANS After Sixteen Days' Fighting Along Aisne River They Advance Lines In Northwest France. CRACOWSURROUNDED Russians Throw Forces Around Strat- geretic Point in Austria—Airships Drop Bombs—More Naval Action is Reported. (Summary of Events.) The allies claim substantial gains against the army of Gen Von Kluck in northwestern France, and the Germans admit slight advances by the French-British forces, but assert the movement is not decisive. This is the latest development, according to the most reliable sources, of the general engagement known as the battle of the Aisne River, proceeding on a line from Rheims FRESH MEAT FOR Hoisting one of a herd of 24 steers cruiser Montcalm in the harbor of San now in Pacific waters searching for Ger cold storage plant, and carries just enou sumption. westward to Compiegne, on the Oise river, and northward from that point to the Belgian border. Official reports from Berlin declare that the forts and defensive positions in the neighborhood of Verdun, France, near the Alsacian border, have been silenced by German heavy artillery fire after several days of very serious fighting. The French and British war offices are silent on war developments at this point. Hand to Hand Fighting. Both Berlin and Paris and London expect decisive results from the battle of the Aisne, which has been raging since September 12, within the next few days. The opposing armies were worn out after the first ten days of fighting, and the battle became practically an artillery duel until about the fifteenth day of the engagement when heavy re-enforcements were received by both Germans and allies. Infantry and cavalry action became much sharper almost at once, and numerous hand-to-hand bayonet fighting was reported. There have been no denials from German sources that the allies had pushed back the entrenched and embattled German infantry and artillery about fifteen miles in northwest France up to September 26. They are said to have gained about five miles more the two succeeding days. Slavs and Serbs Winning. The Russians, with a million men, are pounding the Austrians and Germans and advancing slowly southward in Austria and westward in Prussia and Silesia. They continue to hold the eastern Austrian cities of Lemberg and Czernowitz, together with a number of smaller cities in northern Austria, and they besiege the fortified city of Cracow, near the Austro-Russian-German boundary juncture. The Slavs also have a strong foothold in Prussia, near Konigsberg, and in Silesia, near Breslau. The Servians have succeeded in taking the city of Sarajevo, in southern Austria, where the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and his wife was an indirect cause of the war. They are working northeastwardly through Bosnia into Croatia and Slavonia, all southern Austria provinces. Aeroplanes Drop Bombs. There appears to have been more aircraft activity during the last seven days than ever before in a conflict. While Sunday crowds filled the streets of Paris, on the afternoon of September 27, a German aeroplane dropped four bombs upon the city. A man was killed and his little daughter crippled. Many houses were damaged. One of the bombs fell near the American embassy. Russian aero-cannon brought down a German dirigible balloon near Warsaw, Russia, the same day, after the airship had dropped bombs which killed three soldiers. Another German dirigible dropped bombs on the Belgian cities of Alost, Ghent, Dynze, Minolboke and Rollehem, the night of the 26th, killing one man and setting fire to many buildings. A fleet of British aeroplanes dropped bombs on the Zeppelin airship sheds at Cologne, Germany. Belgians and French aircraft have dropped bombs s which were taken aboard the French Jan Diego, Cal. The Montcalm, which is German cruisers, is unequipped with a tough fresh beef for immediate con- upon German towns along the border, and the Germans have dropped explosive shells on Ostend, Belgium, and at Amiens, France. More Naval Activity Fourteen hundred seamen, including sixty officers, were killed, about September 22, when a German submarine torpedo boat blew up the British first-class cruisers Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy, in the North Sea. The English now have 200 war vessels in these waters. The British cruiser Pegasus was sunk by the German cruiser Konigsberg in the harbor of Zanzibar, South Africa, recently. The Russian cruiser Bayan sank a small German cruiser and two torpedo boats which were laying mines in the Baltic sea. Three Austrian torpedo boats were sunk by mines in the Adriatic sea, September 24. News was given out officially, September 26, that Lissa, the Austrian island naval base and garrison in the Adriatic, was bombarded and captured by a French fleet, September 19. Troops later landed from the warships and hoisted the French and British flags over the forts. Italy Flirts With War. Rome reports that Austria is massing troops along the Italian border and intends to invade Italy. Further reports from the same source say Germany asked permission to move troops across Swiss territory, but was refused; and that the Swiss asked Italy to support them. Italy has practically completed the mobilization of her troops, and it appears to disinterested observers that she is seeking a pretext to enter the conflict on the side of the allies. of Lemai with a northern fortified o-Russia. The hold in Si in take southernion of life was The Japanese are reported to have reduced two of the forts guarding the German colony and naval base at Tsing Tao, in the Chinese leased province of Kalo Chow. The Japs have 30,000 troops In the field and a strong fleet blocking the harbor there. The czar will propose a federation of European nations, the "United States of Europe," official reports from Petrograd say, for the purpose of limiting armaments hereafter, as soon as the present war is over. Russians Into Hungary. London.—"Pursuing their success, the Russians have pushed over the Carpathian range and captured Uzsok (Hungary), near the source of the River Ungh, with numbers of guns, artillery stores and prisoners," says the Petrograd correspondent of the Morning Post. "Thence the Russians have descended into the plains of Hungary." Belgians Occupy Alost. London.—The Ostend correspondent of Reuter's Telegram Company in a dispatch dated Sunday, says: "The Belgian troops in a sortie from Antwerp had advanced a little over a mile in the direction of Erpe, when they met a strong body of German cavalry. In a sharp fight which ensued, the Germans were repulsed and the Belgians occupied Alost." Strike Simultaneously. London. — Almost simultaneously the two great hammer strokes in the battle in Northern France have fallen and some decisive results must be announced before long. The allies have struck the German right wing and the Germans on their part have hurled themslives against the French line between Verdun and Toul. The commencement of these two attacks in earnest was disclosed by a French official statement, but little is told of how they are progressing. Hit the German Line Hard. The action against the German right is described as a very violent general one, in which the French left encountered an army corps composed of troops which the Germans brought from the center of Lorraine and the Vosges. The clash occurred in the district between Tergnier and St. Quentin, so that the French have made a considerable advance to the northwest since the last mention was made of this part of their army. Both Sides Reinforced. London.—It was learned that additional British troops have reached the scene of the fighting in France. They are reported to have been landed at Ostend and Boulogne and to be supported by a new French army sent north from the mobilization center in the south. It is this army upon which the allies are now believed to be depending to complete the isolation of the German right and to envelop the armies of Von Kluck and Von Boehm. German troops are being transported into France over the railway line between Munich, Gladbach and Aix-la-Chappelle, according to the Amsterdam correspondent of Reuter's Telegram Company, who says this fact is stated in a telegram from Maestricht. British in Baltic? London.—A dispatch to the Standard from Copenhagen states that a fishing fleet has arrived at Falkenberg, Sweden, which has been in close proximity to a fleet of thirty warships. They were sighted in the vicinity of Anholt, a Danish island in the Kattegat, a large arm of the North sea, which has Sweden on the east and Jutland on the west. The news has caused great excitement here. Repulse Belgrade, Assault. Nish, Servia.—The Austrian forces have again endeavored to cross the Danube at Belgrade and were repulsed as they were on every previous endeavor, the war office announced. The Kaiser Reported III. London.—From several points the news was received that the kaiser is suffering from a severe cold and is under the care of the imperial physician. Heavy Artillery Active. London.—Heavy artillery continues to play a leading part in the battle of the Aisne, which now has been in progress more than a fortnight. With the greatest stubbornness the opposing forces continue to hammer away at each other from their well entrenched and strongly fortified positions, but up to the present without reaching any decision. Almost without a lull, great shells are being hurled across the rivers, valleys and plains stretching from the River Oise in the west to the Meuse in the east, and thence southward along the whole France-German border, while the lighter guns play on the infantry lying in the trenches awaiting an opportunity to deliver attacks and counter attacks, with, as the French official communication says, "alternate retirement on certain points and advance on others."

Obvidusly Me- Kenzie spoke honestly in every word he uttered, and like every other ex- perienced war correspondent from Bel- «ium and France I have interviewed he was unable to describe what he wit- nessed without an occasional redden- ing of the eyes and faltering of the voice. “I have seen savage war in many lands,” said Mr. McKenzie, “but never before anything like that which Bel- gium shows was done there. Oriental armies in the hour of victory or Rus- sian troops when relentlessly sup- preselng internal rebellion were mild and-merefful compared with the treat- ment given to this people. “The German plan of terrorism was carefully calculated and Germany does not deny this. Its aim is not alone to prevent people from attempt- ing to break the lines of communica- tion in Relgium, but even more so to alarm the nelghboring Dutch peas- antry that Holland would not Join the allies. Burning of Belgian Towns. “The German excuse {s that- the burning of Belgian towns and villages was done only as a punishment for attacks by civilians. Yet tn cage aft- er case entire districts were burned out apparently because of the stub- born resistance offered by the Belgian army. Take, for example, Belle, a place four miles from Ghent. Here a little force of 500 Belgian volunteers with two cannon successfully held up several thousand Germans for two hours and made them pay heavily in life before the defenders retired. “When the Germans entered the town there was no resistance by the villagers, who knew too well what their fate would be. The troops went into the houses and feasted off the lit- tle stores of provisions. Officers occu- pied the largest buildings in the vil- lage, the home of @ lawyer, a com- fortable three story building. The lawyer's wile anxiousiy gave them her best, but when the dinner was over the house was burned with 50 other small houses. Graves in Front of Kitchens. “1 stood in the village street after the Germans had gone as it was marked by the burning ruins, I no ticed that the graves of the victims had been dug sometimes in front of their own kitchen doors, I had to ash myself whether the whole thing was not a fevered dream. The only crime of these people was that their village had been the scene of a battle ir which several German officers hat ‘been shot. “T entered the ruins of a farmhouse where the eldest son, a lad of nine teen, had been shot before his mothe and father’s eyes, because the Ger mans thought he.was old enough t ‘be a soldier. The house was burne so thoroughly that not a dish, not | scrap of wood and not an article wortl five cents remained. A child ha ‘been killed close by, possibly by ac cident. With home gone, crops ruine and the eldest son dead, the famil, ‘was so stupefied with grief that the; scarcely could reply to my questions “Down the roadway I could se mothers coming back, gazing distract edly at the ruins of their old home: seeking for husbands and sons, fear ing to ask for their daughters and 1 some cases looking for their babe and finding them in the ashes o death.

Then {t had a fine collec- tion of Flemish pictures, now the en- trancee, corridors, and various rooms are a mass of charred woodwork, with here and there a head of a statuette or plaster cast left. One of the chiefs of the gailery came in while I was there and gazed at the wreck of the place which had been his life's pride. With clenched fists he cried, ‘Canaille! Canaille!’ The Wrongs of the People. “Termonde is a city of ghosts. It seemed impossible that street after street of crumbling ruins could a week before have been a busy, pleasant, prosperous Belgian town. There was the church of the Benedictine fathers with the roof off and the interior gutted and burnt. All that was left of A massive oak door were the iron hinges, Still standing in place was the religious statuary, which had been deliberately shattered with the butts of rifles before the place was set on fire, I noticed the figures at the sta- tions of the cross with the heads of Mary, the Christ and the attendant crowds smashed in “Melle and Termonde are typical of a large part of the country, but there are exceptions. In some places the German soldiers carried out their or- ders to destroy houses with evident reluctance and did no more than they were ordered to do, Apart from burn- ing houses they behaved with mercy and kindliness. In other places I found that the troops and followed the burning with a policy of deliperate outrage—a policy which I believe the German people, it they could under. stand {t, would repudiate and de- nounee. “The most painful side of the bust- ness was the innumerable accounts of wholesale outrages against women, young girls and even children. One responsible official told me of some of the horrors and he was almost tn tears as he spoke, ‘Of these cases,’ he said ‘we can tell, but of most of them we can never learn anything. Often out rage was followed by murder antl of ten, too, a woman hides her shame.’ The Policy of Terrorism. “Where docs the responsibility to || these doings lle?

The pacification committee organ- ized among officials here in an en- deayor to heal the rupture between General Carranza and General Villa has departed north with the immedi- ate object of reaching the nearest point where they can consult the gen- erals of the division of the north. They will try to arrange a cessation of hostilities and secure an agree- ment which will prevent further clashes between the factions.

General Carranza has signified his willingness not to become a candidate if Villa would give a similar promise and if all the military leaders of the revolution could be also eliminated as candidates. . None of the others has appeared as candidates, Villa's assurances were regarded here as pointing out a peace- ful end of the rupture with Carranza, The formal retirement of Carranza and the assumption of the provisional presidency by Calderon are expected to follow.

SMITHERMAN Business Manager C. G. Erawer Advertising Manager A. P. Blakemoore Travelling Representative Our best friends are those who pay their obligations promptly, thus aiding us to keep going. THE TULSA STAR goes into more homes than all the other race papers in the state. There is a reason. IN THE END the big League graft by the "High Rollers will be aired thoroughly and the people will know the truth. LEST WE FORGET: How much money did the Colored papers of Muskogee get for advertising the National Business League? It is now time to get out that last years overcoat and clean it up. The bleaky days of winter are just over the hill, be ye prepared to meet them. If reports are true, more than 500,000 men have been killed in the European war this month. Think of the widows and orphans who are real sufferers in this calamity; and what is it all about? THE TULSA STAR is the widest circulated Colored newspaper in the Southwest and each week swells our subscription list. This means that the people have confidence in us. "You can't fool all the people"; etc THE TULSA STAR is always ready and willing to fight and when necessary we do not hesitate to fight. But no one can deny that our fights are always justified and therefore righteous ones, because we fight only for RIGHT. The attempt to force Chief Burns to resign is a dirty political trick which is frowned upon by those who know the Chief. Commissioner Quinn is not as "easy" as some people seem to think he is, and remember, he is from Missouri. "Jumbo" has just now discovered that his "readers" were too dear to be burdened with his dope in the Star-Elliott fight and offering this as an excuse he withdraws from a fight which before our tirade of effective bombarding with facts and figures was none too mean for him to engage in. However, he soon discovered that he was playing a losing game and like all cowards he retreats, begging the question, after starting something he couldn't stop. In other words, "Jumbo" got in on the wrong side and we smoked him out. Right will always win. SOCIAL DECORUM The big burly, unkept and uncouth vagabound whose only permanent place of habitation is the gambling dens and booze dives, and whose associates are found among the lowest women in town, certainly must feel elevated when he finds himself seated in a theatre or some public place beside a decent, respectable woman engaged in conversation with her, though he may have never seen her before; and such unholy combination may indeed be elevating to such libertine, but it is anything else but elevating to the respectable woman who is so unthoughtful as to allow herself to be drawn into a conversation with such character. Many a good woman has lost her good name and had many hard things said about her because of such incidents. That rule of ediquet or social decorum which forbids a decent woman holding any kind of conversation with a strange man, or even so much as speaking to him, may be out of date with the latter day students of social proprieties, but to those of the old school who hold as sacred the good name of good women, the violation of this rule will always seem a breach of common sense and an infaction of well regulated society. Vice Versa THE SCENE was laid in the office of a prominent Colored real estaae man of this cicy who played the leading role in this amusing little drama. His colleague was a "worst for wear" weather beaten white man from the hills of Missouri, who was trying to rent a farm on shares. The Colored man was very accomodatiug and soon found a good location for the stranger out near Mohawk. The would-be tenant objected to thss location, however, explaining that he had heard that this was a Colored community. "White people are living out there" replied the Colored man, "but tell me, my friend, why you object to living TULSA OKLA STAR The Popular Drug Store Patent Medicines, Toilet Articles, And Special Sundries Ice Cream and Cold Drinks Popular Things For Pasticular People J. I. Stansberry, Prop. 127 East Grand McAlester, Oklahoma among Colored people?" "Well, you see" explained the Missouri farmer, "I have several daughters and 'Niggers' are too bad after White girls." The Colored real estate man scrutinized his prospective prttron closely and compassionately, yet with more or less contempt as he replied: "What part of Missouri are you from?" The Missouriian gave the desired information Answer: "Yes." Question: "Were your daughters ever molested by Negroes?" Answer: "No" Now, my friend," said the Colored man, "I have traveled all over Missouri, which has always been a typical democratic state, and there are thousands and thousands of Negroes living in Missouri side by side with white people and it is a well known fact that these Negroes and White folks get along mighty well together. Why they get along so well together that they have never pass the "Jim Crow" law. And we get along just as well together down here in spite of the 'Jim Crow' law. And I want to tell you another thing; when I look all over this country and begin to count the Negro women who are mothers of White men's children, I tell you, it doesn't seem to me that you need to be dodging Negro communities. By Golly it's the Negro that needs to dodge your community." Smarting under this stinging rebuff the Missouri farmer hastily left the room and has not been seen or heard of since. 410 N.

Muskogee Physician Has New Treatment Captain Jackson Leaves Tulsa Wit & Wisdom The new anesthetic by two Oklahoma Negro physicians, Dr. E. Dr. Morrison, Chief surgeon of the Morrison Sanitarium and Nurse Training school of Muskogee, Okla. and Dr. C. E. Smith of Vian, Okla., who is the assistant surgeon to the Morrison Sanitarium are said to be in the front ranks of surgery, regardless of Color in the entire Southwest. These two young men are doing with great success both major and minor operations without administering choloform or ether. This anesthetic is proving to be a world's wounder, and if it does it will be one of the greatest discoveries of modern surgery. Dr. Morrison has been working upon this anesthetic for five and during this time he has performed about one hundred and twenty operations with it, all all minor ones, but a few days ago Dr. Smith of Vian, Okla had two major operations, but one was a very old man and the other had a very bad heart. Dr. Smith declared that neither could stand the operations but the work had to be done or they would die. Dr. Morrison suggested their new anesthetic which they used in both cases with untold success. In the old man's case the operation was very lengthy and for three and one-half hours these Negro surgeons operated without pain, knowledge or danger to this noble Negro minister who is now at home well for the first time in months. The man is the Rev. Turner of Vian, Okla. The lady who had a laparotomy performed was Mrs. Bennett of Vian, Okla., who walked four blocks after the third week and is now at home looking after her cotton and corn without pains. I I came across an editor the other day waiting on the strett, I soon learned that he was waiting to get some more business from one of his of his White customers in order to keep his paper going, that is as it should be. But nevertheless I could not help from thinking about how hard this editor has to scuffle and stir about to make both ends meet to keep his paper going. For what purpose? Certainly not because he is making a fortune out of the business Then for what reason? I say for the purpose of social uplifting and enlightening the Negroes of his country and district. I say he is making a greet sacrifice for his people, the Negroes. Because any Negro who has sense enough to run a newspaper can make more money along other lines if he choose too. I get as mad as blue blazes when I hear a rubber bellied or gimlet legged Negro prattling about saying "DE REZUN I DONT TAKE DAT PAPER DAZE NEVER NUTHEN IN IT." The plague grove fool is telling the truth but he does not aim too. He knows that he is nothing and when he doesn't find his name surrounded by a bunch of sweet lies. He says "DAZE NUTHEM IN IT." and he's right because the tendancy of the Negro editor to day is to see that nothing does not get in it. But only those who are something. I wouldn't loosely any time as an editor because when one of those chronic Negro newspaper knockers come to m CAPTAIN T. D JACKSON Last Thursday night Capt. T. D. Jackson parted with his many friends in Tulsa and boarded a train with his Colorado, where they will live seeking to improve the health of Dr. Jackson. Capt. Jackson is well known, and loved by those who know him best. He has a host of friends among the better class of White people as well as among his own people and all of them were sorry to see him go. But Capt. Jackson is a dutiful father and he is determined to do everything in his power to regain his son's health if possible and for this reason only he decided to leave Tulsa and go with his son in search of his health. Dr. Morrison was called to a case of blood poisoning just three days ago and not knowing that another physician had been there and had gone away to get help to put the lady asleep with chloroform and seeing the condition pulled off his coat, called one of his nurses, gave his anesthetic, operated on his patient and met the other physicians coming with their chloroform, but the lady was awake and feeling fine. Both Capt. Jackson and his son are heavy property owners in Guthrie, where Capt. Jackson has served as city patrolman and as Justice of the Peace. He also organized the first and only Colored militia company ever organized in Oklahoma. Wherever the gallant Captain goes he will take with him the very best wishes of all who know him. These noble young surgeons intend to give their secret to the profession. The entire Negro race as well as the medical profession should be proud of these young men and others who have for their motto "Excellent." The Star commends him to any community as a true race man worthy of any trust or honor that may be conferred upon him. News Around the City J. S.

A. J. Smitherman, Editor Tulsa Star. Mr. Editor: Chas. N. Bancroft, of Bickford, Blain County, Okla., the latter part of November, 1907 bought a brood sow for $15.00, and between that date and December, 1913, sold over $5,000.00 worth of hogs from her offspring. Notwithstanding the fact that he was forced to buy most of the grain with which to finish them, and was forced during the early part of this period to sell some of the hogs at $5.25 per cwt., his net profit was $2,000.00. To use his own words, he "gambled on a corn crop," when he should have "pinned his faith to kafir, milo, feterita and cowpeas, the sure feed crops of Oklahoma, and his profit would have been much greater." At this time of year hundreds of breeders in Oklahoma are offering for sale pure bred boars and brood sows.

Git back, ye ugly spalpeen!" roared Flaherty, the zoo keeper. Jocko grimaced at him and rattled at his bars. Jocko did not like Flaherty any more than Flaherty liked Jocko. Jocko was a bald-headed chimpanzee, and in poor health; Flaherty was a well-meaning, kind-hearted, rough-voiced Irishman, who had lately landed and had secured the position because something in his locks appealed to Doctor Hoffman, the president of the zoological society. But if Jocko was an ailing specimen of his race, Donna, the orang-outang, was a perfect lady. Donna and Flaherty liked each other just as much as Flaherty and Jocko disagreed. So, when the story came to Flaherty's ears that Donna was to die, he went to the president-director with a rueful face. "It's like this, Flaherty," expla'ed Doctor Hoffman. "The only thing that can cure Jocko is an infusion of fresh blood, and Donna, as the healthiest of the primates, has been selected. It may not kill Donna, but then, again, it may, because those apes are very delicate in captivity." "But why not let Donna live and let Jocko die?" asked Flaherty miserably. "Because, my boy, Donna is just a common orang, such as can be procured anywhere, while Jocko is one of the bald-headed chimpanzees, and it might be years before we could secure another. "It's curious about the apes," he continued. "The blood of all the apes is transfusible. It differs hardly at all from that of man. On the other hand, A Swore in Simian Language as Flaherty Passed. to inject the blood of any other vertebrate would cause immediate death. In that we see the truth of the hypothesis that apes and men have a common ancestor." "What, sor!" exclaimed Flaherty, who had never heard of the Darwinian theory. "D'youse mean to tell me, sor, that Jocko and me had the same grandfather?" "Well, yes, if you go a little further back along the tree," said Doctor Hoffman. "My grandfather niver was up a tree in his life, exclipt apple trees," answered Flaherty indignantly. "All the same, Donna has to go," answered Doctor Hoffman. "And, by the way, Flaherty, there's one thing I wanted to speak to you about. I am told you are not kind to Jocko." "Begorra, I niver hit the craythur in me loife!" said the attendant. "Perhaps not, Flaherty, but you must remember that the primates are very susceptible to unkindness. I understand you have been heard to address Jocko harshly. If that occurs again you will have to find another position. He is a helpless vertebrate in your care, and you should consider it a point of honor to treat him well." "Yis, sor," muttered Flaherty, as he made his way from the other's presence. The thought of Donna's doom weighed down his heart. He stood before her cage that night after the zoo had been closed and watched her eating her supper. Donna put her head against the bars and Flaherty scratched it. Donna liked Flaherty to be near her. In his cage adjoining Jocko scolded and chattered. But Flaherty had no heart to pay him any attention. On the ensuing Sunday morning Donna was to give up her life for the worthless Jocko. That evening Flaherty paid a visit to the zoo doctor, an elderly German, who attended all the animals. "Can't you save Donna's life?" he asked. The elderly German was an irascible man, but he was as sentimental as most Germans are, and he was touched by Flaherty's solicitude. "There may be a chance," he answered. "But I doubt it. It's those fine, strong apes that generally go off at the least thing. Now if it had been the other way round, he'd live through it and flourish. Why, he's been living for years now with blood that would kill you or me." "Doctor," said Flaherty, "is it true that apes have the same blood as men have?" "Quite true," answered the doctor. "The difference is, in fact, imperceptibly small." "Then phwhy wouldn't a man's blood do instead of Donna's?" asked Flaherty. The old doctor looked at him gravely. "It would," he answered. "But where are you going to find the man who will give his blood for an ape?" "Here!" answered Flaherty, beating his breast. "I'll do ut, doctor." The doctor was at first indignant, then surprised. Then, after ten minutes of earnest conversation, he allowed himself to be persuaded. "You must be very fond of Jocko," he said. "No!" cried Flaherty. "But I'm not going to let a lady like Donna be killed for the sake of a wretched, measly, spindly craythur like Jocko." The operation had been performed successfully. One of the zoo employees had given away the story, and it had appeared in all the newspapers. Flaherty and Jocko were depicted side by side, in the cage and on the operating table. And Flaherty, pale and weak, and nursing a bandaged arm, nursed his wrath also as a constant stream of reporters and visitors who had read of the affair came to see him as he limped about his work. In Jocko's cage a new Jocko, much more alert, much fatter, and much angrier, sat, and he shook the bars and chattered and swore in simian language as Flaherty passed. "He doesn't seem very fond of you, in spite of what you did for him," suggested a lady visitor. "Look, mamma!" exclaimed a little girl. "That is the monkey man who loves Jocko. Does Jocko love the monkey man as much as the monkey man loves Jocko, mamma?" "It don't look like it," sneered a fat man, as Jocko thrust his arm through the bars and shook his fist at his keeper. Flaherty turned away, sick at heart. He could have borne the sneers and taunts and misunderstanding, if—if Donna had known. But she would never know that he had saved her from death. When he went back the house was nearly empty. He passed Donna, who put her head against the bars, and Flaherty scratched it. In the cage adjoining Jocko began to chatter at him. "Hey! Git back, ye ugly spalpeen, or I'll knock the head offen you!" he roared, raising his arm, and Jocko fled quivering into the recesses of his cage. A shadow fell upon the sunlit floor. Doctor Hoffman was passing with a friend, and Flaherty, trembling, waited for the word of dismissal. But the director turned to his friend with a smile of amusement. "Yes, that is our hero," he said. "He loves Jocko so much that he scolds him to avoid showing his feelings." Value of Honey. Honey is as wholesome and nourishing as concentrated refined cane sugar is unwholesome and lacking in nourishment. Honey is a medicine as well as a food. Give it to the children in place of candy. Be sure, however, that you get pure honey. Glucose is more harmful than sugar. There are important differences even in pure honey, according to the conditions under which it is made, just as there is a great difference in fruit, according to the soil on which it is grown. Dark red honey is much the best, although the people demand light yellow honey, just as they insist on light colored dried fruit, because they eat with their eyes and do not think. Serious Waste of Money. Because of the improper drying of corn a vast amount of money is wasted in the payment of freight. It is estimated that 436,682 tons of water are shipped with corn every year. This would fill 14,556 freight cars of 60,000 pounds capacity, making a train more than 110 miles long. Nothing Flirtatious. "See the sixth floor of that office building?" "Yep." "That girl is waving her handkerchief at me." "Come on, you near sighted chump. That's a man cleaning windows." Cause and Effect. "Did you see where the Belgian women threw scalding water on the German soldiers?" "Then no wonder they were reported to be boiling with rage." Speaking of the defendant in an assault case a witness said: "He is a jealous man. He is jealous of everybody. He would be jealous of a broom standing In the corner." AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS AFRO-AMERICAN In innumerable perplexing cases of community and extension work the correct understanding of the situation and the way to meet it is dependent upon the colored members of the force. The same need is often felt in the inner life of the school, and in the relations of parents to it. The homes of the colored workers, which are unpretentious, comfortable, beautiful and admirably kept, are accessible to the imitation of the surrounding community. The negroes who are ambitious for better things feel that these intimate friends of theirs came from conditions like their own, and possess habits and standards which they also can attain. These colored workers understand also how to organize for practical benefit the devoted gratitude of the community to the school. They are the mediators to their own people of the best white influence, and bring the white mebers of the faculty into helpful relations. To this influence they are continually opening their own lives, that they may convey to their people nothing less than the best things. Their attitude to the white members of the faculty was expressed recently by President Amiger, whose sister is one of Calhoun's colored teachers, in an address to the pupils and negro workers. "You can never appreciate too highly," he said, "the influence of those who bring to you the finer things gained by their inheritance of generations of culture." It was a superb thing for such a man to say, and only a superb man could say it. This word is often repeated by the colored force. "What we value above all else," they say, "is the continual inspiration from our white leaders to richer thoughts and more efficient service and larger life." The appreciation does not end with words. An eminent friend of the school affirmed at a critical moment in its history, that he had never seen a finer and more practical devotion than was proved by the action of these colored workers. Yet this grateful recognition is not dependent imitation. The negro who has found himself is receptive but not imitative. He transforms all that he receives into his own genius, where it becomes a new contribution to civilization. Are these people exceptional? Such a school attracts and develops exceptional qualities. But some have come from the plainest cabins and from most repressive conditions. They are representatives of results generally possible to the spirit which safeguards every valuable quality of both races, and so attains their most workable cooperation.—Charles Henry Dickinson, in charge of religious and extension work. The city federation of negro women's clubs met at Quinn chapel, Chicago. There were 275 women, representing fifty-two colored women's clubs. The organization voted to join the United Charities. A committee was appointed to ask Governor Dunne to appoint Mrs. Mary Waring to the commission for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of negro freedom. Out of the 280,000 farms in Missouri approximately 3,753 are owned by negroes. They range in size from three to 260 acres, and are worth, land, buildings, live stock and everything else on them, $27,768,750, using the average value of a Missouri farm as the basis for computation. The negro population of Missouri is 157,452. Woman suffrage was indorsed and a plea for representation in congress of the 10,000,000 negroes in the United States was made in the annual address of Rev. E. C. Morris, president of the national Baptist convention, at the session of the organization at Philadelphia. "The suffrage movement had its foundation in the fact that taxation without representation is unjust, and no class or race is better prepared by experience to sympaathize with such a movement than the colored people." "The capital of our nation," he said, "is a hotbed of race hatred, and from there it will continue to spread to all sections of the country until the negro men shall be elected to congress and speak for themselves. "As Christian workers," the speaker added, "we are for peace, and we pray for the time to come when nations shall study war no more, and yet as true Americans in the face of all discriminations we stand ready to defend the flag of our country against any foreign foe." More than 5,000 delegates from nearly every state in the Union were in attendance upon the convention. There has been another biennial convention of women's clubs, but this time the press has not kept the public informed as to its program, its scope or its aims. Therefore when Zona Gale and I were privileged to receive an invitation to attend this convention through our fellowship with the Frederick Douglass Center, we accepted, expecting possibly to see some good reason why this group of 400 deligates, representing 50,000 other club women, should be isolated to do their work unaided by groups of white women doing exactly the same work simply because there was some fancied racial characteristic or a difference in the complexion which keep them apart. The convention met at Wilberforce university, one of the oldest schools for colored people in the country. The school was opened in 1847 and was incorporated as a university in 1856. It is co-educational, is well equipped, has its trades building with fine auditorium in Galloway hall, where the convention met. The thirty university buildings are ideally situated three and a half miles from Xenia, among splendid oak trees We arrived with many others and were duly registered and assigned to one of the dormitories before our racial difference was discovered, and one of us might have gone through the entire session without discovery based upon physical characteristics had we not said that we were there upon invitation of the president of the association. We were then taken to the home of the president of the university, where we were cared for with generous hospitality by Professor and Mrs. Scorborough during our entire stay. The reception to the delegates in the evening was marked by nothing to distinguish it from any other well dressed, well mannered body of club women except perhaps that there was a modesty and fitness of dressing not often seen in similar assemblies. The regular session opened on Tuesday morning with Mrs. Booker T. Washington in the chair. The program included men who did not differ from men in other groups who failed to keep within the time limit of speaking and who sometimes forgot that they were not speaking to intellectual inferiors or to children. They were indulgently dealt with by the president, an indulgence which was never shown to women, for no paper was allowed to go beyond the time assigned to it. The program contained reports from nearly every state in the Union, showing an amount of charitable and welfare work hardly realized by those not in touch with the work.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (By E. O. SELLERS, Director Sunday School Course, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 4 CHRIST ANOINTED FOR BURIAL. LESSON TEXT—Mark 14:1-11. GOLDEN TEXT—She hath done what she could. Mark 14:8. Event crowds fast upon event during this the world's most tragic week. Two days before the passover occurred, the chief priests and other leaders entered a conspiracy how to rid themselves of this troublesome Nazarene. This plot mentioned in the first two verses of the lesson probably occurred four days later than the anointing. Note the separating paragraph mark; also look up carefully a good harmony of the Gospels. Following the Olivet discourse Jesus said to his disciples, "In two days the passover." At that very time Judas was scheming with the rulers for his arrest. John, in his Gospel, tells us that the feast was six days before, and that it was in connection with this that Judas had left the company to go to the priests. Judas Iscariot was, angry at our Lord and this incident led Immediately to the betrayal. Nowhere else in all history is there a blacker picture of the human heart or the length of iniquity to which it will go. Everything at this hour is electric and strange. Events rapidly converge towards the cross. For that, grace has been planning and sin is plotting. Amazed the Disciples. 1. Mary Criticized, vv. 3-5. Jesus had his inner circle of friends and his favorite places of abode and none was evidently more precious than that home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus. In this supreme hour Jesus came to this home to bring it a confirmation of faith and some further spiritual gift. From that time of Peter's confession, several months previous, the Lord has constantly reaffirmed his statement then made, that he must go to Jerusalem, die, and be raised the third day. This teaching amazed the disciples and filled them with fear. Jesus did not, however, awaken faith and then quench it with fear, or allow it to languish and die, John 4:46, 54. Now as the darkest hour approaches there appeared this one touch of appreciative sympathy. Bethany was of but little dignity but there lived there a man who had been raised from the dead—Lazarus. There also resided one who brought comfort to the heart of Jesus—Mary. She had listened to him, she understood him, believed and loved. With a woman's keen intuition she seems to have realized that he was really going to his death. What that meant to the hopes and aspirations she seems to have divined, and realized, more than all others, his viewpoint. How to tell him was her desire. Out of that love she purchased a box of ointment representing in value about fifty dollars, an immense sum and the full extent of her treasure. Ordinary action will not suffice. The hour and occasion demanded the extraordinary. To it she yielded herself, lavishly pouring upon him the wealth and fragrance of that sacred ointment intended for kings. She had sat at his feet, Luke 10:39, and was ready for this the proper hour for anointing, John 12:7. It was her all, but love does not have the calculating cunning and prudence of Judas. "Memorial of Her." II. Mary Commended, vv. 6-9. The story is beautiful in the record we have of our Lord's words. Mary's compensation for the criticism called for by her conduct was the commendation of her Lord. We do not censure the disciples who did not understand but we are thankful for the words of the Master which their criticism called forth. Jesus realized the true meaning of the act and he named it when he said, "She hath done what she could, she hath anointed my body aforehand for burying." Notice that Jesus received the true meaning of her act as for himself, still it was for the world, for he said, "this that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her." This was not merely a reward for Mary, it was that her act should be an inspiration to incite his followers to like activities and attitudes throughout all the ages. This is all that is asked of any disciple (II Cor. 8:12). Love forgets self, surroundings, cost or criticism. Love pours out itself to the uttermost and its fragrance fills not alone the house but the whole of creation. III. Judas Conspires, vv. 10, 11. This tender story ends with the terrible account of Judas. He had no sympathy for Mary, primarily because he was not in sympathetic relations with Jesus.

STAR WORLD REALLY DOES MOVE New Englander Tells Good Story to Illustrate the Progress That Marks Modern Times. Congressman William H. Murray, on his return from a vacation in the heart of the New England country, said in Tishomingo: "The progress of the country is astonishing. The farmer of today drives his motor car, smokes his cigarette in a long amber tube, and, over his after-dinner coffee, listens to Caruso, singing the 'Star Song' from 'Tosca' on the phonograph, or hears his wife rendering on the player-piano Grieg's 'Peer Gynt' suite. "My New England farmer host, in answer to my compliments, said, yes, things had changed on the farm, and, to accent this change, he told a story—a story of the past. "In the general store of the village he began, the general storekeeper took a chew of tobacco and said: "'Thet thar new preacher of ourn is certainly a dude. Gosh hang my buttons ef he don't comb out his whiskers every mornin'. I got it straight from his hired gal. "Everybody stared at the general storekeeper in astonishment before this news. Then the old squire chuckled and said: "'Wall, by crinus, I don't see how he stands the torture of it. I comb my whiskers every Sunday, and danged ef the knots don't make me plumb near cuss an' swear.'" Shows the Folly of Toting a Gun. Glows the Polity or Toting a gun. A little sermon on peace by Homer Hoch: "Old Bill Jones always carried a gun or two, and by much practice—when he should have been at work—he became a crack shot. He said that he didn't propose to be caught unprepared, and that he went armed in order to keep out of trouble. But old Bill Jones was in more brawls than anybody, and was finally gathered to his fathers by a gent who was a little quicker on the trigger. Nations have been proceeding on the Bill Jones theory. This theory—played up strong by the Honorable Krupp and others—has been that in order to insure peace they must be ready to fight the world on a moment's notice. But the nations are just like old Bill. The Bill Jones theory is ready for the junk pile."—Kansas City Star. Durable Snow.

The subject which most attention was "Mother and Home!" in various A Few Solid Rock Facts About the Fair A town, like an individual, can often profit by another's experience, but a town, like an individual, seldom takes advantage of this. Muskogee is an exception to the ordinary city. Here a bundle of live wires have been working diligently for years making this the Mecca metropolis of Oklahoma. A little more than five years ago when these human bees of industry were alert and watching for every opportunity to boost their home town, they siezed on the idea of a fair. When they did so this bustling bunch of boosters had a great many perplexing problems to solve. The first thing they had to do was to list their country's assets. The wonderful farming country and progressive agriculturists, the oil fields and wells in operation and the commercial aspect which the town was assuming as it grew in leaps and bounds, were some of the items considered. After investigating the farming and farmers, the workers saw the great possibilities which awaited the fair's coming. The farmers were thirsting for something of this sort. Being intelligent tillers of the soil, they were anxious to have a sort of clearing house where they could exhibit their products and exchange ideas. This, of course, brought about much more investigating on the part of the fair boosters. That was one way which they demonstrated level-headed business methods. They took their time for they did not intend to become involved in a proposition of which they knew little. After visiting a number of the best fairs in the middle west they noted that the character of the general fair was changing. A transformation was being worked. They observed that the fair which was the most successful had forever obtained a divorce from the "old-fashioned punkin" production. Most striking among the changes which had been made was the increased educational value of these fairs. After visiting many shows they finally decided there was no institute which carried the message of better farming more thoroughly than the fair. It seemed astounding at first, but as they probed deeper it was to find that, despite the fact the fair lasted but a few days, thousands of people visited it and were informed of the progress of improved farming under the previous twelve months. They saw the modern fair instructed in the new methods of agriculture and breeding. It was easy to understand that the farmer acquired a new viewpoint at such institutions. They saw where he cultivated the idea for blooded horses and cattle and how he applied new methods which he had learned there so as to increase his crops with the same acreage and the same or less help in order that he might purchase the new things he saw and coveted. All of these things were brought out by the boosters, so when it was time to start the actual operation of the fair, they were not content to begin at the bottom. The New State Fair at Muskogee started right out a leader in fairs in the middle west and has continued in this position. When the big show is held this season, October 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, it will be the fifth annual production. With bumper crops being reported everywhere in this state the bright prospects have caused an optimistic spirit which spells S-U-C-C-E-S-S for the 1914 production of the New State Fair.
