Thursday's Session The morning session was given over to the formal opening, which was begun by singing "America," followed by a prayer by Rev. J. A. Johnson of Tulsa. Enrollment and appointment The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma of various committees was followed by the address of welcome by Mr. Johnson, representing the city at large, and Mrs. J. W. Hughes for the schools. Response was made by Prof. F. W. Bruner of Oktahoma City. The afternoon session was opened with a song and a chorus rendered by the High School club. Principal Woods then introduced Superintendent Oberholtzer of Tulsa city schools who charmed the audience with his simple eloquence and earnest plea for better prepared servants in the school room. Attorney Roberts of Wagoner responded to the superintendent. Annual Address. After an instrumental solo by Miss Clark of Langston and a vocal solo by Miss H. H. Townsend of Holdenville, President E. M. Watson, professor of science at Langston university, delivered his annual address, showing a broad grasp of conditions as they confront the negro teacher. His talk was deep and showed thorough understanding of educational conditions and tendencies everywhere. The point which the president especially stressed was that of the benefits and necessity of vocational training in public schools in general, and showed in particular where it applied to the negro school children in particular, at least for the present. The president said in part: "Culture is good for anybody, but efficiency and capability are better; for we are no more judged by what we know so much as by what we can do, not by the route through which we have come, but by the perfectness to which we have developed in breadth of view, clear reasoning, good judgment, tolerance, high ideas, sensitivity to art and devotion to service. It is all right to have an educated head in books, but what we are suffering for most is educated hands in things. Too Much Theory. "We need to care less for professionalism and more for the development of all the folk who live in this state, to the end that a new rural civilization may be produced. Our educational process must reach the real fundamental strata and broad human level. The bottom of the educational ladder should be put down where the great bulk of our boys and girls are, so that they can, by their own efforts, climb to the top. "The idea that I would like to emphasize just here is that something must be done for the 195 negro boys and girls out of every 200 who never reach our high schools and universities. Our educational process ought to be modified so that every boy and girl can have the opportunity to learn to do some thing well, from which he can earn a living. "It is my strong conviction that the temporal salvation of our race for some time to come is to be won out of the soil; that skillful agriculturists and mechanics and good housekeepers are needed more than poets, orators and office girls; and that we shall succeed or fail in this country as we TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, FEBUARY 12, 1915. Memory of Our Honored Dead! Fredrick Douglas Noted American anti slavery agitator and journalist, born a slave at Tuckahoe, near Easton, Maryland, February, 1817, died February 2, 1895. In 1838 Douglass escaped from slavery under the disguise of a sailor. He went first to New York City and then to New Bedford, Massachusetts. In 1841 he attended an ant-slavery convention at Nantucket and spoke with such power and eloquence that he was immediately sent out as a lecturer under the auspices of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. He became one of the most prominent ant-slavery agitators. He received and accepted an invitation to lecture in Great Britain. In 1847 he settled at Rochester, New York, and began to publish an abolition paper, The North Star. In 1845 he published his autobiography. In 1882 his autobiography was republished under the title, Life and Times of Frederick Douglass. He held a number of prominent political positions, the more important of which were Marshal of the District of Columbia, Recorder of Deeds of the District, and Minister to Haiti. shall devote ourselves as a race more and more to the fundamental industries. For the Common People. "I do not mean by this that we must banish literature, poetry, music, art, architecture or shut our eyes to the beauty of flowers and the glories of the skies or take sculpture from our mantles and pictures from our walls and put under ban the graces of pleasurable intercourse and social satisfaction, for this would lower us to the level of wild savages; but I do mean that our educational process must be made more attractive and suited to the needs of the common people, and that school should hold up a true picture of life in all its activities, and that teaching be conducted from the standpoint of living as well as mental development."

Church where the Association met has been taxed to its full capacity. In fact it was necessary to form a second division of the Association in order to accomplish the work.

PAGE TWO FLAG INCIDENT EMBARRASSING CABINET CONSIDERS STEPS IN- SURING SAFETY FOR NEU- TRALS AT SEA. OTHER NEUTRALS ARE INTERESTED Joint Representations May be Made to Belligerent Nations.—Submarines May Fare Badly. Washington—Informal discussion by President Wilson with his advisers of the German notification of the danger to which neutral ships may be subjected in the newly prescribed war zones around Great Britain and Ireland and the use by the British liner Luwitania of the American flag, foreshadowed a diplomatic correspondence between the United States and both Great Britain and Germany, respectively, on these questions. In each case the American government, because of its neutrality, cannot discuss the rules which the belligerents may adopt toward each other. The prescription of the war zone itself, however, or the use of a neutral flag by war vessels as a strategem of war, has not given the American officials concern so much as the prospect that these acts may endanger the lives of American citizens whose right to travel on the high seas on neutral ships during time of war, it is intimated, will be vigorously defended. Formal inquiries as to what steps the German naval commanders will take to protect neutrals traveling on merchant ships and requests for information as to the use of American flags by British ships generally, it is understood will be made. All Neutrals Interested. Many of the neutral diplomats, among them the ministers from the Netherlands, Denmark and Italy, were at the state department. While none of the neutral envoys proposed joint action with the American government, they sought information for the guidance of their own foreign offices. Among naval officers it was pointed out that the threats of the German proclamation against enemy merchantmen found in the war zones, if carried out by submarines, would entail considerable danger to the submarines themselves, especially if they attempted to follow previously recognized rules of war in boarding a merchant ship and taking off its passengers before destroying the vessel. The appearance of a submarine, it was pointed out would mean its instantaneous destruction by most of the big merchantmen, which carry small guns. The Lusitania incident evoked a speech in the house by Representative Martin of South Dakota, who announced that he favored legislation at this session to prohibit the use of American colors on any but American vessels and to make it an offense for the master of any foreign vessel whether belligerent or not, to fly the American flag over a ship. He said the penalty should be confiscation of the vessel and a fine for the commander in event the ship returned to American jurisdiction. WELCH ON THE GREEN CARPET Legislature To Investigate State Insurance Commissioner. Oklahoma City.— As a result of charges made during the recent campaign, involving the official acts of State Insurance Commissioner A. L. Welch and "suspicious insinuations" made against the insurance department by democratic members during recent debate on the state insurance bill, the house of representatives adopted a resolution calling for a sweeping investigation of the affairs of the insurance department under Mr. Welch's administration. Mr. Welch has been at the head of the insurance department about two years. He was appointed by Governor Cruce to fill the vacancy in the office brought about by the resignation of Perry A. Ballard, who resigned on the eve of his trial before the senate on impeachment charges preferred by the general investigating committee of the house of representatives of the legislature two years ago. The resolution, providing for the investigation, came from the minority side of the house, and was adopted after a hard fight, in which it was charged by many democrats that the resolution was introduced by the republicans in bad faith, simply to provide campaign material by placing one of the democratic departments of state under suspicion. Madrid—Eduardo Dato, the premier, said that the incident growing out of the threat of General Carranza to expel the Spanish minister at Mexico City if he failed to surrender Angel De Caso, confidential agent of the Spanish government in Mexico, had been satisfactorily arranged through the efforts of the United States government. Senor Dato added that the Spanish government was pleased at the aid rendered it on all occasions by President Wiffon. JAPANESE BATTLESHIP WRECKED ASAMA DESTROYED ON ROCKS SOUTH OF SAN DIEGO American Warship Hastens to the Rescue.—Fate of Crew Is Not Known. Washington.—Rear Admiral Howard, commander of the Pacific fleet, reported to the navy department from his flagship, San Diego, that the Jap- anese cruiser Asama with 500 men, was wrecked about 350 miles south of Port San Bartholome and was breaking up. The admiral added he was sending assistance at once from the nearest American vessel. The Asama is a cruiser of 9,800 tons dis- placement. No further details were given in Admiral Howard's dispatch and nothing was said of the fate of the crew. The Asama, a sister ship of the Tokiwa, is 442 feet over all, with a beam of sixty-seven feet and capable of making twenty-one and one-half knots. She has 18,000 horse-power and is armored with Harvey nickel steel. She was built in Eiswick, England, in 1898, and carries four eight-inch guns, fourteen six-inch guns and twelve three-inch guns, four torpedoes below the water and one above. Her complement is 500 officers and men. WAR IS DRAGGING WEARILY ON Loss of the Goeben Only Recent Incident of Note. London.—With the German and Russian emperors as eye witnesses, the armies of Russia and Germany are still contending for positions which protect the Polish capital of Warsaw from the invaders. The Russian emperor has been at Russian headquarters for several days and the German report announces that the German emperor has joined his generals and actually has visited some of the troops in their trenches. Nothing has been disclosed as to the progress of the battle, which when the last reports were received, was raging with unabated fury. The Russians had strengthened their positions on the western bank of the Bruza river, which they had crossed near its mouth and captured another German vantage point. They also captured a long line of German trenches near Borjimow, which has been the center of most desperate fighting. In East Prussia another big battle is developing, the Germans having sent reinforcements, apparently from their Bzura front, to that region. In the Carpathians, while their right is advancing the Russians are only able to report that their left has checked the Austro-German offensive. The fighting in the west is merely a repetition of that of the preceding days. There have been lively artillery duels and a few infantry attacks in which both sides claim to have gained some ground. The Italian report of the return of Baron Burian, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, from his visit to the German emperor says that the Austrian cabinet found the results satisfactory but were not inclined to give Trentino to Italy and part of Transylvania to Roumania as the price of continued neutrality on the part of those countries. Turkey has at last given Italy satisfaction for the Hodeida incident. The British consul has been released and the Italian flag sautured. English refugees from Constantinople declare that the former German cruiser Goeben, now owned by Turkey was so badly damaged by striking a Turkish mine that it will be impossible to return her at Constantinople. This virtual loss of the services of the Goeben reduces the Turkish fleet to a state of inferiority as compared with the Russian Black Sea fleet, which is about to be strengthened by a new dreadnaught constructed at Sebastapol. It is said that when this ship joins the fleet Russia will attack the Bosphorus and the Black Sea, while the allied fleets attempt to force the Dardanelles. DEFEAT TURKS ON SUEZ CANAL British Troops Repel Attempt To Bridge the Channel. London.—The Turks at last have made a definite attack on the Suez canal, but after a sharp fight they were driven off with heavy losses. After a fruitless attempt made to bridge the canal, near Toussoum, they returned to the attack with a force estimated at 12,000 and six batteries of artillery and essayed to get across the waterway on rafts. The British force, however was waiting, and the invaders were forced back, leaving about three hundred prisoners in the hands of the defenders. A consider- number of the Turks were killed and wounded. The British lost fifteen killed and fifty-eight wounded. Immigration Bill Is Lost Washington.—An attempt to pass the immigration bill prescribing a literacy test for the admission of aliens over President Wilson's veto failed in the house, the affirmative vote lacking five of the necessary two-thirds. Of 399 members present 261 voted to override the veto. 136 voted to sustain the president and two answered "present." The vetoed bill passed the house just a year ago by a vote of 239 to 140. The vote showed a gain of twenty-two votes for it and a loss of four votes TULSA. OKLA.. STAR VILLA DOMINATES NORTH MEXICO SEEKS CAPTURE OF TAMPICO FOR SEAPORT; IRAPUATO HEADQUARTERS. INVITES DIPLOMATS TO JOIN HIM Carranza Claims Loyalty of Seventy- Five Convention Delegates and Concedes Villa Washington—Advices to the Villa agency here said General Villa had arrived at Irapuato, one hundred miles north of Mexico City, and from that point was directing an extensive campaign which has for its object the capture of Tampico and the domination of the northern half of Mexico. That General Villa would invite the diplomatic corps to come into the territory controlled by him as a counter-move to the invitation issued by Carranza for the diplomats to go to Vera Cruz, was indicated in some of the advices reaching here. At the state department no further news of the differences between General Carranza and the diplomatic corps was received. The Carranza agency issued a statement giving the list of original delegates to the convention at Aguas Calientes who were either dead, in hiding or missing and those who were sup porting the various chiefs. The Carranza list claims that eleven how support Villa, fifty-five are aligned with Carranza, sixteen are with Eula Lui Guilierrez, twenty-five with Zapata twenty-seven are unaccounted for, the whereabouts of eight are unknown, four were killed in battle, five assassinated, two are in prison and one-General Jesus Davila Sanchez—a neutral, though his whereabouts is not given. Enrique Lorente, the Villa representative explained that the military campaign of General Villa had ad vanced along the three principal rail roads in the central part of Mexico to within a few miles of the border towns of Piedras Negras, Nuevo Laredo and Matamoros. In each case the Villa troops are threatening the Carranza garrisons, he said. He added that General Angeles had complete control of Monciova, Monterey, Saltillo and San Luis Potosí and that the advance on Tampico was progressing rapidly. Villa Assumes Presidency. Villa gave as his reason for assuming the office that his forces had been BEN Gen. Villa. separated from the convention government headed by Roque Gonzales Garza as provisional president, who left with the Zapata forces when they departed south from Mexico City at its occupation recently by Obregon's Carranza troops. JAPAN NOW THREATENS CHINA Proposes Use of Military to Secure Concessions Demanded. Peking, China.—Military action to enforce its demands upon China has been threatened by the Japanese government, according to a cable message from the Chinese minister at Tokyo. It is believed in official circles here, however, that the communication should not be taken too seriously. Both public men and newspapers are urging President Yuan Shi Kai to let Japan seize by force what she wishes as China would be unable to oppose her, but refuse to grant humiliating concessions. Germans Denounce Bryan Chicago—J. J. O'Loary of New York, president of the American Trust Society denounced England, criticized America, pleaded for Germany and ridiculed the United States at a mass meeting of the American Neutrality League of which the avowed purpose was the promotion of peace. His mention of William Jennings Bryan bruoght forth hisses and Jenkin Lloyd Jones, pastor of All Souls church, arose and declared he would leave the platform unless neutrality were preserved. GEN. VON KROBATKIN [Name] Chief of the Austro-Hungarian ministry of war. EXTRADITION ASKED BY CANADA GERMAN BLOWS UP CANADIAN BRIDGE AND FLEES TO U. S. Immunity Claimed by Prisoner Aa Officer In German Army and His Deed An Act of War. Vanceboro, Maine.—Another international problem, incident to the war, was thrust upon the United States by the action of Werner Van Horn, who operating on the Canadian side of the border, dynamited the railway bridge over St. Croix river and then escaped into this state. A few hours later in a room at a hotel here Van Horn quietly submitted at arrest, but immediately proclaimed himself an officer of the German army and set up the claim that he had committed an act of war, having fled to a neutral country, could not be legally surrendered to an enemy of the fatherland. The Canadian authorities, however, at once instituted proceedings to obtain Van Horn's extradition on a charge of destruction of railroad property. The St. Croix river for some distance forms the boundary between Maine and New Brunswick. The bridge is owned jointly by the Maine Central and the Canadian Pacific railways and is on the direct route of the Canadian Pacific from western Canada to the maritime provinces. FOOD PRODUCTS CONTRABAND Following Seizure of Visible Grain Supply in Germany. Washington.—Ambassador Page at London cabled the state department that the British fleet had been ordered to treat cargoes of grain and flour destined for Germany and Austria as conditional contraband, subject to seizure and confiscation. This step followed the announcement that Germany had decreed confiscation of all grain and flour to conserve the nation's food supply. Since the publication of the German order the ambassador nere, Count Von Bernstorff personally has assured the American government that no foodstuffs imported from the United States or neutral countries would be subject to seizure, and press dispatches have announced the issuance of a modifying decree making such exemptions by the German government. Ambassador Page said the British government had informed him that because the steamship Wilhelmina, now bound from New York to Hamburg with grain and other food had sailed before the issuance of the German decree, an exception would be made in her case. GERMANS FIGHTING DESPERATELY Still Trying To Break Through To the Coats In Flanders. London.—During the last few days the Germans have been making desperate efforts to break the deadlock which has existed for so long on both the eastern and western fronts. They have delivered a series of attacks, always preceded by artillery activity, on the allied lines in Flanders and France and while in almost every case they have thus won a preliminary advantage, before the fighting 'was concluded, the French, British or Belgians have been able to regain the trenches temporarily lost and in some cases to occupy the German positions. In these attacks, according to the reports of the British and French general staffs the Germans have suffered severe losses. More serious attacks, however, have been made against the Russian lines in central Poland. Faced by flanking movements both north and south, Field Marshal Von Hindenburg made a desperate effort, which apparently is to be renewed, to break through to Warsaw and thus not only gain a great military and political advantage for Germany, but at the same time release the pressure on Hungary and east Prussia, in each of which regions the Russian troops are slowly pushing forward. In the south, Servia is again invaded. Don't exaggerate or misrepresent an article advertised in this page. When in Town Call at The Pe First Class Meals Open Day and Night.

SELLERS, Acting Director of Sutley School Course Moody Bible Institute) SAMUEL LESSON TEXT I - Samuel 3:1:13, 19, 20. GOLDEN TEXT — Speak, Jehovah; for thy servant heareth. — I Samuel 3:9, R. V. Samuel was the last judge and the first of the order of prophets. His name means "asked of God," and he was dedicated to God (1:11) as a Nazarite. In fulfillment of his mother's vow he was brought to the temple when he was a young child (1:24), Josephus says, at twelve years of age. Hannah's song of rejoicing (2:1:10) is the expression of a great soul and a choice piece of literature. Samuel had the advantage of being well born, but after studying Ell's household we are not so confident as to the environment amid which he was placed. I. Samuel's Vision, vv. 1-10. The young child entered heartily into the temple worship and duties as directed by the aged priest, Ell. This man was not faithful in giving the people the word of God. "It was rare" (margin) and the result was that "there was no frequent vision" (R. V). The word is also "precious" (v. 1; Ps. 19:9, 10), though when it is as common as it is in this land men frequently set but little store by it. God will judge men for such laxity even as he judged Israel (Amos 8:4-6, 11, 12). A vision is a knowledge of a need and of the resources at our command. Ell and his sons had no vision and a people lacking in this direction perish (Prov. 29:18). Jehovah is about to make known to Israel his will and in so doing he passes over this indulgent father and chooses the child Samuel. Teach ableness and obedience are the chief characteristics of childhood and these traits count for more than God than does age or experience (Matt. 11:25, 1 Tim. 4:12, Matt. 21:6). Samuel had not the conceit of youth, he was faithful to his duties, respectful to his elders and did not boast of his accomplishments nor of the special revelation which came to him. Samuel slept in the holy place of the "sacred tent" near Ell, for the great temple was not yet built. As such he is a type for the Christian (Ps. 27:4). It was there that the Lord revealed himself to him (John 1:14 R. V. margin). One of Samuel's duties as the special attendant of Ell was to open the house of God every morning, also to tend the sacred lamp which burned from evening to morning (Ex. 27:20, 21). As he attended to these duties God made himself known to Samuel (v. 4). God frequently calls men and they are not at home but have gone into the far country. Samuel knew God as every devout worshiper knew him, but had not yet received a direct revelation, hence he "did not yet know Jehovah." Thinking at once of the priest, Samuel ran to receive orders or to render service. Had he disgarded the voice he would not in the end have received his clear revelation. To have closed his ears, turned over for further sleep or to have risen his tatingly would, in all probability, have prevented any further calls (Prov. 1:24, 25, 28). God wants, for special services, those who make glad response to his first call (Isa. 6:8; Luke 9:59-62; Acts 9:6). Three times the call comes and three times Samuel makes reply. The teacher needs to be ever alert to take advantage of these opportunities to unfold and enforce the claims of Christ and to challenge an immediate decision of the soul. Happy are they who like Samuel hear and recognize, even though it be a progressive revelation, the voice of Jehovah, and hearing, obey it. There is little need at present for the audible voice, for we have the word and the still small voice of the Holy Spirit. The voice Samuel heard became a vision (v.15). II. Jehovah's Verdict, vv. 11-13, 19, 20. The chapter following tells of the defeat of Israel, the capture of the ark and the death of Eli and his sons. These were the things "at which both the ears of everyone that heareth it shall tingle." The word of Jehovah stands fast, and what he speaks that he performs "from the beginning even unto the end" (Luke 21:32, Numbers 23:19). The word of Jehovah to Samuel about the house of Eli was one calculated to strike terror and silence into the lad's heart. Eli was not ignorant of the wickedness of his sons (2:27:36). Eli learns from Samuel Jehovah's message. Eli was a great and good man, submissive to God's will, but he was a weak man, rather than just pliously resigned. He might better have prayed for mercy and strength to deal with his wicked sons. However, it was too late to change their lives. "And Samuel grew and Jehovah was with him" (vv. 19, 20; see also Luke 2:52). Jesus also grew normally (Luke 1:80). "When God calls he qualifies; when he qualifies he calls" (Matthew Henry). Samuel was trained in the house of God to be a great prophet (1) by the dedication of his parents and the prayers of his mother; (2) by* the teaching of Eli, the priest of God; (3) by the routine of service in the duties assigned him; (4) by the testing of temptation in his contact with the sons of Eli. TULSA. OKLA. STAR AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS "If a stone wall were built around the state of Georgia, and communication with the outside world entirely shut off, the people of the commonwealth could live and enjoy life for an indefinite time," said Claude N. Bennett, president of the Southern Society of Washington, at Washington. Mr. Bennett has just returned from a month's trip through the South, spending most of his time in his native state of Georgia. "While in Atlanta," he continued, "I attended a 'Georgia products dinner.' This is something new that has been adopted by the present regime there. November 18 of each year is known as 'Georgia Products day,' and on that day, at every important place in the state, great dinners are given, the menu of which is entirely made up of Georgia products. At the one I attended between 1,500 and 2,000 people were present, and the food was good enough, both in quality and variety, to serve at a banquet to the gods. "The possibilities that the state affords for good, wholesome living can be no better illustrated than by telling of an experience I had one day while making a tour of some Negro farms in Columbia county. I had visited the homes of three colored families and found them all poorly kept and none of the men able to pay his way out of debt—in fact, they were objects of charity. The fourth colored man I found working on land exactly like that occupied by the others, but instead of renting his land he had bought it and paid for it. He rented a little extra land from me adjoining his, but most of it he owned. I found his house as neat as a pin, comfortably furnished, the larder well supplied, and five bales of cotton under the shed. He had provisions enough to last his family all winter, plenty of fodder for his cattle, and his total indebtedness was less than $50. It was afternoon by the time my companion and myself reached his house and we had not had dinner, so we asked his wife if she could fix us up a 'snack'. In less than half an hour she had prepared a most tempting meal, which was set on a table covered with a spotless cloth and clean napkins. The dinner, all of which was grown on this colored man's farm, consisted of collard greens (which might be termed the local spinich), bacon, corn bread, wheat biscuits, Irish and sweet potatoes, milk and good butter and Georgia cane sirop. That was an impromptu meal that would have done credit to any household. Now, if a colored family can, on the spur of the moment, get up a dinner as good as that you can realize what can be done by the other people in the state." Between 3,000 and 4,000 Boy Scouts have been specially employed in London since the war broke out at various government offices, recruiting depots, the headquarters of the prince of Wales' fund and other new organizations requiring dispatch carriers and attendants. Photography has discovered the depth to which the sun's rays penetrate water. Five hundred and thirty feet below the surface darkness was much the same as that on the earth on a clear but moonless night. Manchuria is making a new paint out of the bean oil that is produced there in tremendous quantities. The plant is said to be waterproof and fireproof as well as cheap and durable. In your issue of December 21 (editional page) appears an article entitled "Germany Hoping to Get Liberia." While we do not doubt Germany would like to get Liberia, if might be timely to say the American Colonization society, which founded Liberia, in creating that republic reserved to itself certain inalienable rights, to wit: Ownership, in fee, of each alternate block of territory in the original republic for the purpose of colonization by American colored citizens. This covenant runs with the lands and waters of the republic. We shall oppose any alienation of property rights or sovereignty by any of the powers, and shall expect full protection of our rights by the United States. The Liberian constitutional prohibition against ownership of land by whites is obviously plain, and a necessary protection to a colored nation. We are not committed to the theory or belief that the above-mentioned article is a "feeler" in this country advanced by an overactive German affluent press.—H. L. E. Johnson, President American Colonization Society, in the Washington Post. Burn Refuse in Orchards. Dead and diseased wood in the orchard should be removed and burned as soon as possible. The Nebraska College of Agriculture finds that if the orchard is kept clean of such refuse the problems of insect and fungus. Control are much easier. Sheep Withstand Cold In housing sheep, it should be remembered that they suffer less from low temperature than any other class of live stock on the farm. The second oldest American was Flora Thompson, who died at Harba island, Penn., in 1808, at the age of one hundred and fifty years, writes Willis Fletcher Johnson in the Philadelphia Ledger. She was, however, a Negro slave, and I pass her by, as I do many other records of Negroes of great age, for the reason that in those days the status of that race in this country was such that little credence is to be given to its annals. Passing by many other less authentic cases, chiefly of Negro slaves, I come to one of this class which seems to be much more authoritative than most of them. This is the case of Wonder Booker, a sive who belonged to George Booker of Prince Edward county, Va., a family name of the most eminent American Negro of our time, Dr. Booker T. Washington. Wonder was so named because his mother was fifty-eight years old at the time of his birth and his birth was therefore regarded little short of miraculous. He was a man of extraordinary physical powers and of considerable mental gifts, all of which remained unimpaired until within a few years of his death. At the age of one hundred and sixteen years he was able to do a full measure of work on his master's plantation, and he died in 1819, at the age of one hundred and twenty-six. I have found, following him, records of more than one hundred persons of from one hundred and twenty-five down to one hundred and ten years of age at death in the United States, more than four-fifths of them dying in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is soon to start on a speaking tour of the middle West in the interest of the work and ideals of the association. A year ago he made a similar tour. His present trip began at Pittsburgh on January 10, and will include Columbus, Springfield, Dayton and Cincinnati, Ohio, Springfield, Ill., St. Joseph, Mp., Des Moines, In., Omaha, Neb, St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minn., Toledo, Ohio, and Buffalo, N. Y. It is intended that succeeding trips will cover other sections of the country, until all have been organized in the interest of the advancement of the colored people. The annual meeting of the association will be held at the Ethical Culture hall, West Sixty-fourth street, New York, on February 12. Governor Whitman will present the first "Spingarn medal." a gold medallion to be awarded annually to the colored man or woman performing the highest or noblest achievement during the preceding year. The committee on award, consisting of William Howard Taft, Oswald Garrison Villard, Bishop John Hurst, President John Hope of Morehouse college, and Dr. James H. Dillard of the Slater and Jeanes funds, will announce the winner at this meeting. Dr. Therbald von Bethmann-Hollweg, imperial German chancellor, was a lawyer in his earlier life. He is now fifty-seven years of age. He studied law at Gottingen and practiced for six years, after which he was made a judge at Potsdam. There he became intimate with and gained the confidence of the present emperor, with whom he had formerly been a fellow-student at Bonn. Obedience to the law was emphasized in a speech at Tuskegee by Booker T. Washington as a principle to which members of his race should conform in their efforts to advance. Doctor Washington was the chief speaker at the twentieth annual Tuskegee Negro conference. Carrying concealed weapons, theft, gambling, visits to illegal liquor establishments and useless court litigation were enumerated as evil practices with which Negroes were often charged. "I know many colored people who spend more on a pistol every year than they do or the education of their children." Doctor Washington said. "The pistol, in nine cases out of ten, not only does not protect the individual, but leads him into trouble." Resolutions adopted urged the production of food crops in the South. It was declared that there are 320,000 farms, mostly tenanted by Negroes, where there are no hogs; on 250,000 no poultry is raised; 200,000 on which there are no gardens, and 140,000 on which no corn is grown. Bankers and planters were asked to aid the Negro to raise products other than cotton. Watch Your Live Stock. If we should take an inventory of our live stock we might find that it would pay to get rid of the culls, and put the feed into those animals that pay for their keep. It is always possible to cull the herd early and get rid of the poor producers. Dalrymple is a business where raw material and machines are used in the production of a human food product for the market.

Try Thist Makes Hair Thick, Glossy, Fluffy, Beautiful—No More Itching Scalp. Within ten minutes after an application of Danderine you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks' use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first—yes—but really new hair—growing all over the scalp. A little Danderine immediately doubles the beauty of your hair. No difference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is amazing—your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparable luster, softness and luxuriance. Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowiton's Danderine from any store, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any—that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment—that's all—you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try a little Danderine. Adv. Prosperous Appearance. "Some men live for their stomachs." "That's true, but the man with an unusually large abdomen has a prosperous look withal, and if he can drape a heavy watch chain across it the illusion is complete." IS CHILD CROSS, FEVERISH, SICK Look, Mother! if tongue is coated, give "California Syrup of Figs." Children love this "fruit laxative," and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely. A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result is they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is bad, system full of cold, has sore throat, stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and in four hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the system, and you have a well child again. Millions of mothers give "California Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly harmless; children love it, and it never falls to act on the stomach, liver and bowels. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Adv. The Masters. Flatbush—You know he's got a picture of one of the old masters at his house. Bensonhurst—Which wife is it? Always use Red Cross Ball Blue. Delights the laundress. At all good grocers. Adv.

The man most meek, Who saw him face to face on Horeb's peak, Had slain a tyrant for a bondman's wrong, And met his Lord with sinless soul and strong, But when, years after, overragged with care, His feet once trod doubt's pathway to despair, For that one treason lapse, the guiding hand That led so far now barred the promised land. God makes no man a slave, no doubter free; Abiding faith alone wins liberty. o angel led our Chieftain's steps right; No pilot cloud by day, no flame by night; No plague nor portent spake to foe or friend; No doubt assailed him, faithful to the end. Weaklings there were, as in the tribes of old, Who craved for fleshpots, worshiped calves of gold Murmured that right would harder be than wrong, And freedom's narrow road so steep and long; But he he neer on Sinai's summit trod, Still walked the highest heights and spake with God; Saw with anointed eyes no promised land By petty bounds or pettier cycles spanned, Its people curbed and broken to the ring, Packed with a caste and saddled with a king— But freedom's heritage and training school, Where men unruled should learn to wisely rule, Till sun and moon should see at Ajalon King's heads in dust and freemen's feet thereon. His work well done, the leader stepped aside, Sparring a crown with more than kingly pride, Content to wear the higher crown of worth, While time endures, First Citizen of earth --- James Jeffrey Free!

Get a 10-cent box now. Turn the rascals out—the headache, biliousness, indigestion, the sick, sour stomach and foul gases—turn them out to night and keep them out with Cascarets. Millions of men and women take a Cascaret now and then and never the misery caused by a lazy liver, clogged bowels or an upset stomach. Don't put in another day of distress. Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach; remove the sour, fermenting food; take the excess bile from your liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poison in the bowels. Then you will feel great. A Cascaret to night straightens you out by morning. They work while you sleep. A 10-cent box from any drug store means a clear head, sweet stomach and clean, healthy liver and bowel action for months. Children love Cascaret because they never ripe or sicken. Adv. UNITED STATES RANKS HIGH Percentage of Illiteracy Compares Well With Those of Other Countries of the World. In the United States the percentage of illiteracy is 7.7 for the total population (over ten years of age) and 3 for the native white population. In Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom the percentage of illiteracy is lower than that for the native white population of the United States. Doubtless the list should also include Norway, although no figures are available for that country; but in the other European countries the percentage of illiteracy is higher than it is in the United States, and usually very much higher. In Bulgaria it is 65 per cent; in Greece 70, in Hungary 33, in Italy 87, in Portugal 69, in Roumania 61, in Russia 79, in Servia 79, and in Spain 58. There is less illiteracy in Australia than in the United States, but in all other non-European countries the percentage of illiteracy is in general very high. Oklahoma Man Teils About Kidney Remedy Oklahoma Man Teils About Kidney Remedy Several years ago I was taken with severe pains in my back, due to diseased kidneys and was forced to give up my daily labora. I heard of your great kidney remedy and resolved to try it. I did so with wonderful results. Since taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root I have had no trouble from my kidneys. I am giving this testimonial of my own free will to let others know the wonderful merits of Swamp-Root. If you should care to, you are at liberty to publish this testimonial whenever you choose. Subscribed and sworn to before me, this 8th day of March, 1912. Letter to Dr. Kilmer & Co. Binghamton, N.Y. Prove What Swamp-Root Will Do For You Send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co. Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample size bottle. It will convince anyone. You will also receive a booklet of valuable information, telling about the kidneys and bladder. When writing, be sure and mention this paper. Regular fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles for sale at all drug stores. Adv. Prudent Woman. "I thought you said we were going to share everything equally after we got married," said the husband of a rich woman. "That was merely your own suggestion," she answered calmly. "I have decided to retain the balance of power until I find out what division you are going to make of love and affection." SAGE TEA DARKENS GRAY HAIR TO ANY SHADE. TRY IT! Keep Your Locks Youthful, Dark, Glossy and Thick With Garden Sage and Sulphur. When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and troublesome. For 50 cents you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use tonic called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy." You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant. You will also discover dandruff is gone and hair has stopped falling. Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and look years younger. Adv. And many a chap talks like a wise man and acts like a fool. A PAGE FOR LADIES OF FASHION Nellie Maxwell Tells of things new and delicious to tempt the Palate NEW EVENING BODICE HAS TWO FEATURES THAT CALL FOR CONSIDERATION. To Be Made of the Skirt Material, Which Will Be Liked, and Has Sleeves That Show the Empire Influence. There is too much evidence brought out for the new kind of evening bodice not to feel that it will win. It is not entirely attractive in its present tentative guise, but no doubt it will grow in grace as the weeks advance. It is made of the skirt material, which cannot be said of all the waists we have worn, and has sleeves, short little puffs only, also of the fabric. It has been more than one decade since we have worn an opaque sleeve and one of this shape. It is decidedly the first empire influence. Some of these sleeves are straight, extending half way to the elbow and finished there with stiff turn over cuff, also of the material. It is this sleeve which women do not like, and it is not probable they will wear it. However, its introduction in high places gives one a chance to stop and think. It may be modified and softened, but it evidently leads the way away from the evening sleeve of today. These two features are the most important of the early season. They point with an unmistakable finger toward something different, but whether the French openings will follow up the prophecy, or we will follow up in detail the French showings, remains to be seen. At any rate, it is well to fix one's mind upon this possible fashion. It may keep one from buying something that will be hopelessly out of the running later in the spring. Those who know, feel that the very wide skirt has had its day for street wear, although six-yard ones are already featured for the evening, placed, however, over a much narrower underskirt. This assembling of two distinct types of skirt on a figure is always suggestive of the Orient, and in one or two of its recent appearances A Blouse, Trimmed With Braid, With Satin Collar and Cuffs. It is unpleasantly so. A figure swathed in a satin underskirt which is caught in at the knees by a band of gold lace, and covered by a six-yard net outer skirt finished at the edge with jet, is a daring garment to put upon any woman, especially when she uses it for dancing. Skirts for street wear, whether belonging to a suit or a frock, are built on conservative lines. There is no return to the hobble effect, but the immense sweep of the elongated Russian tunic which was the feature of the winter will give place to a hem wide enough for freedom and with a decided flare at the sides. Its shortness will be preserved. On every side there are evidences that this shortness, which displays all of the boot, will be persisted in, for it is the only possible way in which to make a wide skirt wearable. As soon as it sweeps the instep, it gains an aggressive awkwardness. (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) SUSPENDS REELS OF COTTON Holder That May Be Made in a Few Minutes and Will Be Found Very Useful. The hanging cotton holder shown in our sketch can be made in a few moments, with the aid of a portion of a cardboard box and a hatpin. Diagram A at the top on the right of the illustration shows one end of a cardboard box and the dotted line indicates the portion that should be cut away to obtain the required shape, and this shape can be fastened upon the wall with two nails run through at the points marked with crosses. The reels of cotton are suspended by means of a hatpin run through TULSA. OKLA.. STAR A Department Devoted to the Personal Interests of from side to side, and upon the pin they will revolve freely as the cotton is drawn off in a downward direction. For the sake of appearance the cardboard should be covered with thin silk and this may easily be done by turning the material over at the edges and fastening it on inside and at the back with liquid glue. Then pieces of silk can be cut to fit inside and fastened on in a like manner. Only one reel of cotton is shown upon the pin in our sketch, but this has been done so that the way in Novel Hanging Cotton Holder, which the holder is constructed can be clearly seen, and a holder for containing three or four reels of cotton can be made in the way described. This little article would be stronger and last longer carried out in thin wood, and any boy with the aid of a fret saw would be able to make it in a few moments. PRETTY COVERS FOR CORSETS Season's Lingerie Is Really Beautiful, and the Prices Accordingly Are "Way Up." Whether under the classification of corset covers, brassiere or camisole, the little slip that conceals the corset is a most luxurious and fetching affair. When the blouse is of lace or net the corset cover is usually of some silk like pussy willow taffeta or crepe de chine. Under a less transparent blouse it may be shirred net, lace or even embroidered chiffon, and usually it is held up over the shoulders by the merest straps of lace, ribbon or tiny chiffon roses. Smartly shaped corset covers are now in surplice style—not rounded out at the top, and the deep V of the surplice crossing is arranged at back as well as front. A single snap fastener at the belt line holds the crossed surplice in place and if some sort of fastening is required at the bust a sparkling brooch holds the lace together and gleams through the outer blouse. A corset cover of this type, made of net puffing and hand-embroidered strips of organdie is set together with hematitching and costs $7.98—quite a tidy price to pay for a corset cover, but then women are spending extravagant sums just now on their "undies," as intimate garments are called in England. The camisole goes straight across the bust and shoulder straps hold it up. It is worn usually with transparent evening blouses, for when the top is drawn up by a ribbon-run beading, the shoulder straps may be slipped down and the shoulder left bare under the gauzy bodice. Camisoles of the prettiest sort are of embroidery and lace insertions arranged in transverse rows and sometimes tiny chiffon roses in pastel shades are grouped in clusters along the upper edge. If the figure is not slender a brassiere of some sort must be donned under the camisole for support. BEDROOM SLIPPERS OF LINEN Have Many Advantages, Chief of Which is That They Are So Easily Cleaned. The new idea in bedroom slippers is to make them of linen. These are decidedly comfortable on the feet, wear well, and can be washed easily. They can be made from plain or embroidered linen, just a little heavier than you would use for dollies or center pieces. Buttonhole around the top in a small scallop, and make eyelets in which to run narrow ribbon. They are very pretty made up of embroidery four inches wide and with a well-covered edge as well as an open one through which the ribbon can run. When soiled they can be removed from the sole, laundered and replaced with little trouble. It is well to keep a fresh pair always on hand. This suggests pleasant winter work for summer wear, when we feel that we can spare a little time from our knitting and garment making for the good cause. Newest Baby Quilts Baby's newest down quilt is both pretty and practical. It has the upper and under sides of soft china silk of either pale blue or pink, and over this is a cover of very sheer linen. The cover is the full size of the quilt after the edges are turned over, and it is mitred at the corners. The overlay is at least five inches and is usually finished with an embroidered scallop or lace edge. Is it not a fine idea? For when the cover is solled it can be easily removed and laundered and the silk quilt is protected from dirt and dust and the soil of frequent handling. The KITCHEN CABINET The people people work with best are often very queer; The people who are people's kin quite shock your first idea; The people people choose for friends Your common sense appeal; But the people people marry are the overestest folk of all. SEASONABLE DISHES. The use of carrots in the diet should be more common, as the carrot is a valuable vegetable.

It will be necessary for us soon to think of the spring housecleaning sea spring housecleaning season, which brings in its wake many bodily ills. The overfed body is sluggish with the heavy winter foods and a system housecleaning is necessary. This is the time when all nature is rejuvenating, and we son, which brings in its wake many bodily ills. The overfed body is slugish with the heavy winter foods and a system housecleaning is necessary. This is the time when all nature is rejuvenating and we need to throw off all heavy winter conditions and prepare for the new life of spring. It is best to gradually drop off from the winter foods, as too sudden a jump may prove serious. Billiousness and various kindred ills may be completely routed by a careful diet and the free use of green vegetables. Nature provides us in the early spring with just the food we need. Lettuce, cress, dandelion and spinach are invaluable if we expect to keep in a good state of health. The dandelion contains taraxacum, the tonic which is in many doctors' prescriptions. This acts directly on the liver, stimulating it to a healthy action. The liver is one of the most important organs in the body and must be kept free to work its process of elimination. When it is clogged and slugish the whole body is out of order. Dandelions also add bulk to the food, scraping up the digestive tract; thus poisons which cause autoinoxication, constipation and rheumatism are removed from the body. The digestive tract needs flushing and often a more heroic treatment, as we treat drain pipes which become clogged. Cowslips are another early spring vegetable which does not need to be shipped in, and then later we grow our own spinach and pepper grass in the vegetable garden, which should be a part of every small or large garden. How much pleasanter it is to eat a nice crisp plate of lettuce than to take nasty-tasting pills or medicine. The addition of oil to any of the salad greens makes them more valuable, as oil is healing, lubricates the tissues and stimulates the action of the liver. People who do not like olive oil have undoubtedly been turned against it by being served with an inferior quality. Oil should be sweet and nutty in taste and have a most appetizing odor.

The stories of individual coolness and daring are so many that they have almost ceased to attract special attention. The other day, when the British dreadnaught Formidable went down in a storm, crushed like an egg shell by torpedoes or mines, its captain—Loxley—was on the bridge as it sank; and his words were: "Steady men; it's all right; keep cool; do not get in a panic; be British."

I'd like to stand around somewhere And see the postman when He knocks above a store today And hands out something, then— I'd like to kind of listen there, For I'd be pretty sure To hear some happy guessin' by A little girl that's poor. 图 VALENTINES OF MANY YEARS AGO Gallants of High and Low Degree Have Found Pleasure in the Inditing of Love Son- It was at the battle of Agincourt, in 1415, that Charles, duke of Orleans, grandson of Charles V of France, father of Louis XII and uncle of Francis I, was taken after a fierce charge in a vain attempt to retrieve the fortunes of the day—"dragged wounded from among the dead"—and for twenty-five years thereafter he remained a prisoner in the Tower of London, until ransomed for 300,000 crowns by Philip the Good of Burgundy. In order to relieve the tedium of his long confinement the captive duke composed about sixty poems, which, tradition asserts, were the first valentines ever penned. And the gentle duke has had innumerable imitators of high and low degree and of varying standards, from Robert Herrick, who sings: TO HIS VALENTINE ON ST. VALENTINE'S DAY. Birds choose their mates, and couple, too, this day. But by their right I never can divine. When I shall couple with my valentine, down to the anonymous but more often quoted lyrist who carols: The rose is red, the violet blue, This mark (X) is cross and so are you. As time passed and the demand for "sentiments," tender and otherwise, but appropriate for February 14, increased, there appeared annually flocks of quaint chapbooks and pamphlets designed to enable the purchaser to express his inmost heart in polished verse. The title page of one of these little annuals reads: The True Lover's Own General Valentine Writer for the Present Year, Containing All the Very Newest Valentines, Elegant and Original, with appropriate Answers, Adapted for Ladies and Gentlemen in Every Station of Life. Ye Belles and Beaux who own young Cupid's sword and capture this auspicious Who hall with rapture this auspicious day, Of Valentines you here a store will find, All tastes to suit, or be they rough or kind. A most confident and self-assertive encyclopedia of valentines was published in 1784 under the title of "The New English Valentine Writer, or the High Road to Love, for both Sexes, Containing a Compleat Set of Valentines Proper for Almost Every Trade in Town or Country, with Their Answers.

Here follows a taste of the quality of this highly respectable compilation: THE FARMER TO — If plow and cart Can please your heart, With milking-cows and swine, Come here to me And you shall see I've plenty, Valentine. Good corn my fields In plenty yields, My barns are filled with store, Fine sheep in pens, And cocks and hens, Are clucking round my door.

Then come to me And let's agree About it, Valentine. There! That's a complete pastoral and should surely be a prelude to a happy marriage. A somewhat later chap book entitled "Cupid's Delight; or, Instructions for Lovers," contains this appeal from THE COACHMAN TO THE LAUNDRY MAID. Early this morning at the tub I saw you often stoop and scrub; The rising suds were seen to flow As white as any driven snow; I smack'd my whip and drove away, Yet gave a blessing to the day; The day which shone so very fine And made my Sue my Valentine. Can it be necessary to add that the laundry maid's reply is altogether favorable to the gallant coachman? Some of the satirical verses in "Hymen's Revenge Against Old Maids, Old Bachelors and Impertinent Coxcombs" are nearly as scathing as those of the comic valentines displayed in the window of the little stationery store 'round the corner, while "The Beauties of Hymen," on the other hand, contains appeals as moving as any to be found imprinted with the greatest elaborations of lace paper, tinsel, gliding and silk; yet never has valentine writer, amateur or professional, surpassed the honest fervor of that ancient explosive couplet which runs: Can Pen or Ink or Paper show My fixed and pure affection?

"Do you mean to say," declared Brown, in response to a statement made by Jones, "that all of your Christmas presents are paid for?" "Why, yes," was the easy rejoinder of Jones. "I settled for the last of them yesterday." "You are nothing short of a wonder! enviously returned Brown. "I haven't even begun to bury mine yet."

WHEN KIDNEYS ACT BAD TAKE GLASS OF SALTS Eat Less Meat If Kidneys Hurt or You Have Backache or Bladder Misery —Meat Forms Uric Acid. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and, cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.—Adv.

CANADA ONE OF THE WORLD PROVIDERS Although Canada's real start in national development as pointed out by the Buffalo Commercial, came slowly and late, as compared with that of the United States, it is now well under way, and very soon there will be a marvelous expansion in agriculture, mining and manufacturing. The paper above mentioned says that "heretofore the development of Canada, like that of the United States, has been westward, but unlike this country, the Dominion has a great territory to the North, which has been regarded as all but uninhabitable, but in which recent research has proven there are possibilities of development almost inconceivable." After making complimentary reference to the resources of the country tributary to the Hudson Bay, which will be opened up when the railroad now under construction is completed, the Commercial further says "there are those living today who will see our neighbor on the north a great and powerful nation, and a not insignificant industrial and commercial rival of the United States. The war may retard, but it cannot destroy, Canada's future. And in this expansion no one will more heartily rejoice than the people of the United States, because the prosperity of the Dominion is bound to increase our own." Herein is the spirit that dominates the Dominion Government when it extends an invitation to Americans to assist in developing the resources that Canada possesses, whether they be mineral, forest, industrial, commercial or agriculture. Both countries will benefit and the United States will be a gainer by having as a neighbor a country whose resources are as great and varied as are those of Canada. In comparing the United States along with other nations of the world in producing and importing foodstuffs, the Agricultural Outlook published by the United States department of agriculture says: The United States in recent years has been as large an importer of foodstuffs as exporter; therefore she cannot be classed as a surplus producer of foodstuffs. This is contrary to popular impression. It is true that she is an exporter of certain articles, but she is an equally large importer of other articles. In this classification tea and coffee are included with foodstuffs. In edible grains the production is 23 per cent more than the amount retained; the production of meats is six per cent more—that is, exports of meat equal six per cent of that retained in the United States for consumption; the production of dairy products is 20 per cent more than consumed; the production of poultry is just about equal to consumption; of vegetables, one per cent less. An investigation into the production, imports and exports of food products of various countries indicates that England produces about 53 per cent of her food requirements, and imports (net) about 47 per cent; Belgium produces 57 per cent, and imports 43 per cent; Germany produces 88 per cent, and imports 12 per cent; France produces 92 per cent, and imports eight per cent; Austria-Hungary produces 98 per cent, and imports two per cent; Russia produces 110 per cent of her requirements, and exports an equivalent of about 10 per cent; Canada produces 23 per cent more than she consumes; Argentina produces 48 per cent more than she consumes; the United States produces practically no more than she consumes (i.e. exports and imports of foodstuffs almost balance). With this information before the reader, it is not a difficult matter to direct attention to the fact that Canada stands in a pre-eminent position in the matter of grain and cattle production, and with a large territory yet unoccupied she will always maintain it.—Advertisement.

THE DOUGLAS RECITAL.—Mr. Samuel D. Hooker, president of the Muskogee Negro Business League, has won another feather for his cap, if he hasn't yet won another star for his sleeve as letter carrier. Hooker's first feather was attained when he gave both Scylla and Charybdis the laugh and steered the great National Negro Business League meeting of last August into smooth and safe waters. That feather was a fine ostrich plume long enough to curl way back and tickle his elbow. The second feather is now due Hooker for pulling off the very successful Douglas Violin Recital on Monday night, February 5th, at the Convention Hall. It is reported that President Hooker declared some time ago that he did not intend to let the local Business League die on his hands. It may be truly said that despite the split, curved and swift bails which have been thrown over the home plate, Sam in this Douglas Recital has made a three bagger and cleared the bases ahead of him. It is a three bagger in this way. Mr. Joseph Douglas, the admirable violinist and grandson of the late and great leader and orator, Frederick Douglas, was brought under the auspices of the Business League all the way from Los Angeles, Calif., for the purpose of raising funds to aid in maintaining the Colored Library, the Dorcas Hospital and the local league itself. A more laudable and praiseworthy three fold purpose could have hardly been conceived, and the large audience which occupied all the available seats i the Convention Hall showed that the Muskogee Negro public was heartily in sympathy. Mr. Hooker, and the committee in charge merit oceans of credit. The Douglas Recital set a high mark as a whole for any future entertainments of similar nature. Mr. Douglas reidered in a highly artistic manner nine classical selections adlording to program and about an equal number of endores. The audience was keenly appreciative and applauded him again and again. In fact so highly pleased were all, that Mr. Douglas could be playing there yet if he hadn't gone to Okmugee on Tuesday morning. Mr. Douglas' playing to the cultured and highly trained ear was at all times pleasing and all were often startled by the ease and grace with which he accomplished very many difficult and pyrotechnical periods. Some of the audience may have been attracted to this recital because Mr. Douglas is the grandson of the eminent Douglas, but the next time he comes to Muskoege everyone will turn out to hear him play. The former Douglas was a wizard with the voice; the later Douglas is a wizard with the violin. The elder Douglas hold an audience spellbound by eloquence; the younger Douglas accomplishes the same by melody. Other participants in the events of the evening were: The Girls' Clef Club accompanied by Mrs. L. C. Clark, Music Supervisor; Prof. G. H. Ambose, baritone soloist, accompanied by Mrs. E. Arlington Wilson; Mrs. Huldah Gentry piano instrumentalist and Miss Tessie Granville who accompanied Mr. Douglas, the violin virtuoso. All rendered their various parts in a creditable and pleasing manner. The Hon. R. Emmett Stewart, Eastern Oklahoma's Demosthenic legal representative, presented Mr. Joseph Douglas to the audience in a brief and happy address. Next; Prof. Kelly Miller.—The promoters of the Young Men's Christian --- PAGE EIGHT N. E. PYRTLE, Proprietor furniture Co. in the home furnishing line s Notes in Brief Association are preparing for the lecture at Carter Hall on February 12th by Prof. Kelly Miller, the widely noted educator of Howard University, Washington, D.C., who is in Oklahoma for the purpose of delivering addresses on educational topics before the Oklahoma State Negro Teachers' Association at Tulsa during the present week. A large crowd is expected to attend this lecture, as Prof. Miller is well known by many here, especially by a number of Howard University graduates. The latter are arranging for a banquet in his honor. Teachers Tulsa Bound.—The following Muskogee teachers are on the program at the State Teachers Association at Tulsa during this week: Profs. Bryant and Nevels, Mesdames Green and Clark and Miss Birdie Vaughn. Mrs. Johnson Jones whose husband is a candidate for the presidency is also due to take in the view on North Greenwood Ave. A number of Muskogee's disciples of Blackstone are planning to attend the Bar as sociation. County Teachers.—The last number of the "Ploneer," a school magazine published by the pupils of the Manual Training High School, announces the meeting of the Muskogee County Colored Teachers' Association on March 6th, and contains the excellent program prepared for the occasion. Turning Pale-Faced.—So far as ownership of buildings on South Second Street is concerned, its old time black and tan and high yaller complexion is being kalsomined, whitened and palefaced. On the west side, the Jones and Carter buildings and on the east side the Love and Roberts buildings are the lone monuments remaining on former Negro town builders. The Twine building is the latest to undergo this metamorphosis, and Sturgeon's Cool Hall is all that's left as a Negro landmark. The fitting up of the second floor as a rooming house for whites is now in progress and this work compelled Doctors Muckleroy and Williams to hike to the Escoe building on North Second, and for the Hon. W. H. Twine and The Sclimeter to take up new headquarters in the Bradley building, also on North Second. The change in this Twine building corner is both regrettable and unfortunate. In fact, there is considerable sadness bound to be mixed up in even the thought of it. This corner in past year has been, and is today one of the best known to negroes of Oklahoma and other states. Not alone negroes, for it can be said that white men knew how to find this corner without a flashlight or guide, during the time when the corner took part in history and the making of history. In former days, when a shack stood there and since the brick was reared, this corner was like Rome, all Oklahoma roads led to it. But now the upstairs is to be used as a rooming house for whites. Just imagine some of the elders and deacons of the churches out in the sticks, who do not yet know of this change, climbing those stairs to pay up their annual subscription to the patriarch religious weekly. The Sclimeter, and then have some pale faced maiden, disturbed in her reveries and meditations, come to the door and yell, "Scat." Now wouldn't that be—Texas. If a Negro is ever "jim crowed" in the Twine building, the walls will fall in. If they don't, they should. Six-Column Star.—The new Star in its larger six-column form ought to be a winner and have a sure go in Muskogee and everywhere else.

SIC SEMPER. Negro Doll Co. Sending Out Many Dolls NASHVILLE, Tenn.—An announcement was made by the National Negro Doll Company that their rush season, which it usually has during the Christmas, is just on. This is occasioned, declares the manager of the company, on account of the delay in the importation of material from which these dolls are made. The ship was caught and held as a prize of war and was only recently released, hence, the material did not reach Nashville until Christmas day. But the people, says the manager, were so determined to have the size doll they wanted that they all replied, "We will wait to get the big dolls." While hundreds of small dolls were sent out, the manager declares that it was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolls ranging in sizes from SEVENTEEN to THIRTY-SIX inches. The orders are being sent out rapidly. Many of the churches have sent in orders that they might conduct their bazaars. Dolls will be shipped throughout the year, declares the manager of the Doll company, as we are ready to fill orders as they come. A PROFITABLE BUSINESS Any farmer can make a good profit out of his milk cows if he will give a little of his time to the subject and go about the matter in the right way.

Phillips, the subject of this sketch is a valuable property holder of this city who is a very quiet and unassuming man 50 years of age, a race man to the core. He has lived in Tulsa five years and he has worked every day af that time. He was at one time employed by O. W. Gurley in his grocery store, but after a few months through Prof. J. W. Hughes, who was at that time employed by the Pioneer Telephone Company, he secured a position as janitor for the Pioneer building with Prof. Hughes. Since that time he has worked continuously for the Pioneer people as chief of the janitors and general custodian. There are now eight Colored men working for the company who secured their jobs through Mr. Phillips, and they are all at work under his orders. The company have implicit confidence in him and he cherishes this trust as one would a dear keep sake. Mr. Phillips is sole owner of the Phillips-West building on N.

Y. LOCATE BULLET BY PHONE London Surgeons Have New Method of Discovering Presence of Foreign Body. London. — One of the romantic touches in modern surgery which the exigencies of the present war have introduced is a method of detecting bullets and fragments of shell in the human body by means of a telephone. This method is employed in special cases in one of the large London hospitals. To a telephone receiver two short lengths of wire are attached. One of these ends in a small piece of platinum; this is placed upon any part of the patient's skin which has been moistened with salt water. The other end of the wire terminates in a thread of antiseptic silver, and this is bound around the surgeon's probe or lance or other instrument. The surgeon then places the receiver to his ear and makes the incision. The instant the instrument touches the bullet a very distinct rattle is heard, quite different from the faint murmur audible as the instrument merely cuts through the flesh, and in this way when X-rays fall, as they sometimes do, the foreign substance is located. HE IS A WAR HERO AT 13 Marcel Vernier is the Youngest Noncommissioned Officer in the French Army. Paris.—The youngest noncommissioned officer in the French army is Marcel Vernier, who is thirteen years and seven months old. He followed the artillery as a kitchen helper at the opening of the war and learned to ride a horse and was quickly promoted to be a corporal. He has been named adjutant sergeant major and his name has been proposed for the military medal for valor in action. He was recently wounded and was brought to a Paris hospital. Vernier is an orphan and is one of a large family of young brothers and sisters. HE WON'T FIT ANY TRENCH Canada's Tallest Soldier, Six Feet Eight Inches, Hails From New York. Winnipeg, Man.—The tallest soldier in Canada, L. M. Graham, whose parents reside in New York, has enlisted for service with the Canadian contingent. Graham is with the Seventy-ninth Cameron Highlanders of Winnipeg. He is six feet eight inches in his stocking feet and looks like a giant in military outfit. His brother, Lieut. B. M. Graham, is in the trenches in France with the Second battalion of Royal fuseliers. AMID RUINS OF THEIR HOME A woman is seated in a wheelbarrow, preparing to load a load of leaves into the cart.

Berlin.—Emperor William has given orders that the so-called war bread be served to himself and the members of his entourage. This bread, styled also "K" bread, consists of 85 per cent rye flour and 15 per cent potato flakes. It is being consumed in accordance with a war time proclamation with the idea of making the supply of foodstuff in the empire last longer. Up to the present time it has not been bought readily by the general public. It is hoped, however, that the decision of the emperor to eat this bread himself will influence the people to follow his example. The newspapers are giving much attention to the course of the emperor in this connection. The "Second Courage." Paris.—The "second wind" of athletes is matched by the "second courage" of soldiers, an army medical authority at the front says. After a soldier's first terror is over he discounts danger. OFFICER SLAYS 15 Performs Daring Exploit With Homemade Bombs. Crawls In Dark to German Trenches Destroys Machine Gun and Kills Enemy's Soldiers With Hand Grenades Made by Himself. International News Service Correspondent Paris—With three bombs made by himself, an officer of engineers of the British army has just performed an exploit worthy of chronicling. He crept up to the German trenches and killed 15 Germans, besides destroying a machine gun. This sapper was stationed at a point of the battle line where the British and German trenches are near to each other. He fitted up a laboratory in a farm house in which he was quartered and here he began to manufacture hand grenades. These he decided to test personally. A few dozen yards before the first British line was a German trench in which was posted a machine gun that had killed many English. The trench was cleverly built in sections, so that the British could not capture one point and then fire down the trench. It was like a row of old-fashioned church pews, each pew say six yards long with about five Germans in it. The machine gun was posted in a pew so situated that it could sweep the whole front for a long distance. Before it was a shield and a parapet. The British officer selected a time when it was quite dark and crawled carefully to within about a dozen yards of the machine gun's position. He carried one of his homemade bombs in each side pocket and another in his hand. He hurled the first right in next to the machine gun. There was a terrific explosion and the single man in the trench to remain alive screamed with pain. The machine gun was hopelessly wrecked. The Germans along the line did not realize what had happened. The bold sapper was not content with the damage he had wrought, so instead of crawling back to safety, he leaped into the trench with the machine gun and the dead and dying Germans. The compartments of the trench were connected by passageways, making an angle. The Germans in the compartment next to that of the machine gun were in an uproar, firing in the direction of the British lines and evidently believing the allies were delivering a general attack. The Englishman hurled his second bomb among them. Five or six Germans were torn to shreds. Into the second compartment the sapper crawled and cast this third and last bomb into the next group along the line. The effect was as great as before. To clear out the three compartments of the trench had been the work of not more than three minutes. After completing his task, the officer wriggled back to his own lines unharmed. IS NOW CALLED KAISERBERG Germans Give New Name to Town of Czenetochowa in Russian Poland. Petrograd.—You will look in vain for the city of Kaiserberg on the map of Russian Poland, and little will you suspect that this name stands with the Germans for the ancient city of Czenetochowa, but Kaiserberg it is at present, and the inhabitants are forced, under threat of severe penalties, to speak of it as such. This is another proof of the Germans' tactful policy toward the Poles whom the invaders are supposed to win over to their side, for Czenetochowa to the Poles is what Mecca is to the Mussulmans, and no greater insult to the national pride and faith could be imagined than the renaming of the ancient fortress. "Kaiserberg now. Kaisergrab (kaiser's grave) in a few weeks hence," is the prophecy of the refugees from the invaded part of Russian Poland. 'WIDOW'S MITE' FOR WOUNDED French Servant Earning Ten Cents an Hour Gives $50 to Red Cross. Paris.—A Paris woman servant of the numerous class which works out at ten cents an hour has given no less a sum than $50 for the French wounded. Her employer had difficulty in making her confess it. When she did own up to it, she explained that though the Red Cross agent had advised her strongly to keep her savings for a rainy day she had got round his objections by showing certificates for further savings of $2,000. Approves the Princess. Berlin.—While distributing gifts at Camnez, the German crown princess was approached by a soldier of the landsturm battalion, who, unaware of her identity, said: "You're a mighty nice girl. When I get back from the war I'm going to marry you." Lost Memory for a Week.
