No 15 MEMBER Belittle Childers of Garf of Love Coun Edu But The Vote Prov Appropriation Representative Huds Manly Fight For COLORED CITIZENS MEND BY GLENN CONDON, (World Staff Correspondent) OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 17.—The aged-old question of racial equality preclimated a stormy debate in the house of representatives today. The bills appropriating $20,000 for a waterworks and sewer system at the colored agricultural and normal university at Langston and $15,000 for the support and maintenance of the same institution, brought on the extended argument, but both were passed finally by a vote of 59 to 29. The emergency was stricken out of the first bill, however. Representative Childers of Garfield county started the pyrotechnics. He declared that he was opposed to any appropriations for "niggers." "Let's take care of our white institutions first," shouted Childers, "before voting money for the niggers. I don't believe God created the black man, anyway, and if He did He only intended for him to be a servant for the white man." Representative Pinkham of Kay county, who has consistently opposed appropriation bills at this session, declared that he was in favor of the Langston appropriation. He referred to the constitution of the United States, in which the Negro is recognized as a citizen: "We Democrats," said Pinkham, "cannot take a position that involve hatred or viciousness against the Negro race. They were brought here against their will, and it is up to you people to take care of them." Representative Tom Hunter, an Indian, spoke in favor of the bills "A moral responsibility rests upon this legislature," he declared. Preeacher Against Negroes. Representative Morgan, a Democratic minister of the gospel, made a bitter speech against the Negro: "They don't need educating," declared Morgan, "for I have observed that the Negro woman takes in washing to support her worthless educated husband. We should take care of the Negro only as far as we are able. This is a white man's country." Representative James H. Sykes of Tulsa declared that while he was in favor of abolishing every secondary agricultural shool in the state, including the Negro school at Langston, he was in favor of the appropriation at this time. "The school at Langston," said Sykes, "educates the Negro for agricultural pursuits. The town nigger is a curse and the country nigger is a necessity. I want to see them taught to be useful on the farms and as servants." Would Put Them in Pen. Representative Asa E. Walden of Love county quoted poetry in support of his contention that the Negro "had nothing coming to him." "The common schools are good enough for the nuggers," he said, "but the best school for them is over at McAlester—the state penitentiary." "I am in favor of civilizing and Christianizing the Negro," said Representative Wash Hudson of Tulsa, "and if we vote down this bill it will be a curse and a crime." The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma HUDSON GETS THE THANKS OF NEGROES. The following telegram was sent to Hon. Wash Hudson, representative from Tulsa, by the colored citizens of Tulsa Thursday commending him for his manly stand in support of he appropriation bills for the Colored Agricultural and Normal university at Langston: "Hon.

As Guert of Oklahoma State Teachers The eighth annual session of The Oklahoma Association of Negro Teachers which met in this city last week has gone down in history as the most interesting meeting from every standpoint ever held by that organization. The Colored people of Tulsa won the hearty commendation of every single one of the three hundred or more visitors for their generous hospitality with which they were welcomed. Prof Kelley Miller of Howard University was the center of attraction while he was here and his address to the teachers Friday morning and his lecture at the Dreamland Theatre Friday night will long be remembered by those who heard him. Prof. Brazelton of Oklahoma City introduced the great educator Friday morning and Prof. J. Oscar Spencer of Nowata was selected to introduce him to the citizens and teachers Friday night. The house was filled to its full capacity as Spencer arose and unhesitatingly plunged into an extrem poranious outburst of oratory, peculi . MRS. L. L.

Her husband is a well known news- paper man of the state. early his own by way of introducing the "man of the hour." For a brief ten or fifteen minutes he held the rapt attention of the audience while his remarks were frequently punctuated with applause. Spencer is doubtless one of the best extemporaneous speakers in the state. Prof. Miller chose for his topic "Race Loyalty" and step by step with masterful ability, logic and penetrating sagacity this black man of letters lead his audience from one climax to another amid frequent storms of applause. He urged the young men and women of the race to make use of the opportunities at hand. "If you can not get what you like" he said "you will surely learn to like what you can get." The speaker dwelt extensively on the unparalleled patriotism of the race and on their right to this country and its liberty not only because of their work in felling the forests and tilling the soil, building the railroads, etc., but because of the price they have paid for it in human blood! The Association at it final session Saturday voted to have Mr. Miller's speech printed in pamphlet form and sent out to every teacher in the state. While in Oklahoma Prof. Miller will lecture at several towns in the state, among them being Sapulpa, Oklahoma City, Boley, Okmulgee and Muskogee. The next place of meeting will be Oklahoma City. C.

CLARK Newspper Men Close 2 Days Business Session NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 13.—Much business of importance to the newspaper fraternity and publishers was transacted at the two days' session of the National Negro Press Association, which closed in this city today. It was the blending of the Executive Committee meeting with the first session held in mid-winter made possible by the action taken by the newspaper men at their annual meeting in Muskogee last August. The meeting was called to order at 10:30 Friday morning by Joseph L. Jones, Chairman of the Executive Committee, of Cincinnati, who presided during the session. At the conclusion of the executive session the first regular mid-winter meeting was then begun with Melvin J. Chisum, President of the Association presiding. The opening of both meetings was marked by the religious fervor shown on the part of newspaper men and the business-like way in PROF. J. OSCAR SPENCER of Nowata, the orator, who introduced Dr. Kellay Miller here at the Dreamland theatre Friday night. He was also elected member of the Executive Committee of the State Teachers Association. which they delved into the problems that are calculated to bring about the highest development of Negro journalism. Among the items taken up in these sessions were, first, the appointing of a committee whose functions will be the arranging of plans whereby the newspaper and magazines will be paid from twenty-five to fifty per cent more for their advertising space. A similar committee having been appointed last February reported feasible plans, with data, statistics and circulation that would guarantee the speedy advent of such immoluments in the sale of space in such papers and magazines belonging to the Association. The adoption of their report, the discharge of the old committee, whose term of office had expired, with the appointment of a new committee to put the plans in successful operation was the passing of the first obstacle which seemed to have been long in the way of the fraternity. Second—The plans for the calling o: a Fraternal Congress to be held at Cincinnati, O., in August, in which all of the secret societies operated by members of the race, which is to have the full support of one hundred twenty-six publications making up the Association, were adopted. Third—Notice was given at the executive session of an amendment to the constitution raising the admission fee from $2.50 to $10 to all who are not now members with the understanding that the annual fee would remain at $2.50. This action, which met the hearty support of the entire Association is said not to be a preventive to new members, but rather a protection to those now making up the Association, as it now has firm basis upon which to operate. Fourth—A new committee. with Subscription $1.00 Per Yea CE TILT ce Issue! en Close business Session power to draft for the As- clation a telegraph code service, was also named. Fifth—A committee on Memorials to report at the next annual session was appointed. Sixth—The Chairman of the Executive Committee was authorized to call an Executive Committee meeting to be held in Boston, Mass., in Aulations from absent members of the Association, many of whom sent their annual due and others, asking the Association to take action on important matters effecting the race, was read and the Corresponding Secretary instructed to reply to them. Seventh—An address to the country with ringing declarations was issued through the special committee appointed to draft the same. Eighth—The report of the Corresponding Secretary showing the continued activities on the part of his office in securing new members, collecting due and assessments, and in keeping before the public the objects and purposes of the Association was unanimously adopted. Ninth—A resolution, calling for plans which would educate business men of the race to patronize and use the advertising space of the publications in the race, creating a large demand for their wares and products, as well as to call the attention of the large advertising firms to the value of using space in these publications, was adopted and turned over to the Advertising Committee. Tenth—A certificate of membership on the order of a pledge card, that has for its purpose the cementing of friendly relations between the several publications, as well as to discourage newspaper differences, such card to be hung in the office of each publication belonging to the Association, was ordered printed and distributed to the members. Eleventh—Upwards of fifty commun- Twelfth—A new Vigilance Committee, with one member to remain in Washington, D. C., was appointed. The function of the committee as pointed out is to keep the publications posted on the text of bills introduced in both Houses of Congress effecting the race. Thirteenth—The plan of centralizing the meetings recommended and adopted at the Muskogee session received a hearty endorsement. Fourteenth—A resolution was adopted disqualifying all publication to membership which fail to pay their annual dues for 1914-15 by April 14. In addition to all of these a number of committees were appointed to perform various duties and to report at the next annual session. While the press representatives were in the city many of the Nashville members and business men extended social courtesies among which was a banquet in the assembly room at the residence of Dr. R. H. Boyd, 1602 Helman street, where covers were laid for fifty; an automobile ride, through the courtesy of Rev. Preston Taylor; a luncheon by Mr. W. M. Sanders, Secretary of the Y. M. C.

ENGLAND ABOUT READY TO FIGHT TEN BILLION DOLLARS NEEDED TO CONTINUE FIGHT FOR CURRENT YEAR. ONLY 1-3 OF RESOURCES TOUCHED Lloyd-George Hints of Additional Help.—Other Nations Expected to Join in Effort to Overwhelm Germany. London.—The countries fighting against Germany, Austria and Turkey up to the present time have thrown only a third of their strength into the field. To maintain this force and to bring the remaining two-thirds into action will cost 2,000,000,000 pounds ($10,000,000,000) during the current year. This announcement was made in the house of commons by David Lloyd-George, chancellor of the exchequer, first lord of the admiralty, gave the British public perhaps a closer view of the machinery behind the great struggle than any that has been afforded since the outbreak of the war. Mr. Churchill declared amid cheering that Great Britain finally had decided to clamp on every ounce of sea pressure to choke off Germany's food supply in retaliation for the German submarine policy, while Mr. Lloyd-George drew additional cheering by a reference to loans to countries which he said he expected to throw in their lot with the allies. These countries the chancellor did not name. It was the first time that a reference was made in parliament of such expectations. The announcement of the government's decision with relation to Germany's food supply came almost coincidentally with the receipt of two dispatches from the United States, one saying that Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, had informed the Washington government that Germany was willing to abandon her submarine policy provided Great Britain ceased intertering with cargoes of foodstuffs and the other saying that he again had advised neutral shipping to avoid those waters which Germany had declared would become a dangerous war zone three days hence. Allies Not Pinched. Mr. Lloyd-George gave the details of the financial arrangement of the allies as they were decided on at the Pars conference of the British, French and Russian ministers of finance and put into round figures what heretofore had been guessed, the remarkable increase in the productivity and efficiency of the Russian people by the prohibition of the sale of vodka. This productivity and efficiency he placed as high as 50 per cent. Great Britain, the chancellor of the exchequer said, had resources which would last for five years and France perhaps sufficient for three years. Mr. Lloyd-George paid tribute to the burden that France at present is bearing and gave a pledge that the allies would stand by Belgium financially until the time for the settlement came Mr. Churchill disclosed for the first time the total naval losses as the result of the war. These, he said, were upward of five thousand officers and men, a majority of them victims of submarines. To Use Full Naval Force. Concerning submarines Mr. Churchill outlined what Great Britain purposed to do as a counter to the German policy. In view of what he styled "piracy and murder" Mr. Churchill said it was incumbent on Great Britain for the first time to apply the "full force" of her naval power. A formal declaration to this effect, he said, would be made forthwith. Netherlands Protests German Decree. The Hague.—The Netherlands has maintained the strictest neutrality by presenting notes of protest at the same moment to Germany and Great Britain regarding the acts of these governments in respectively declaring a war zone of the waters around the British Isles and in using neutral flags. There has been much discussion of the dangers to be encountered in the North Sea and Dutch shipping is menaced more than that of any one neutral nation, owing to the large number of Dutch vessels passing through the English channel on the voyage to the Dutch Indies. Dutch shippers appear determined not to change their schedules and the ships will proceed over the usual routes although with precautions in order to make their nationality clear. Carranza Keeps in the Limelight. Washington.—The situation has been further complicated by the decree of General Carranza that none of his subordinate military chiefs shall discuss diplomatic questions. This deprives the diplomatic corps at Mexico City of the privilege of dealing with General Obregon or the de facto authorities in Mexico City. Practically all the foreign diplomatic representatives in Mexico City have been instructed by their governments to use their own discretion about leaving the capital TULSA. OKLA.

The malady in some respects reserubes yellow jaundice, and it is, rightly or wrongly, attributed to contact with an aeroplane "dope," or to inhaling its odor. Further particulars need not at the moment be indicated, but it has been suggested that the source of the trouble may be amyl acetate, which is used as a "dope" solvent. Some mystery attaches to the affair, the precise nature of the malady not having yet been determined, in spite of close examination and analysis; and, of course, until success is attained in this direction no satisfactory precautions or remedy can be devised.

The coffee drinker who has suffered and then been completely relieved by changing from coffee to Postum knows something valuable. There's no doubt about it. "I learned the truth about coffee in a peculiar way," says a California woman. "My husband who has, for years, been of a billious temperament decided to leave off coffee and give Postum a trial, and as I did not want the trouble of making two beverages for meals I concluded to try Postum, too. The results have been that while my husband has been greatly benefited, I have myself received even greater benefit. "When I began to drink Postum I was thin in flesh and very nervous. Now I actually weigh 16 pounds more than I did at that time and I am stronger physically and in my nerves, while husband is free from all his ails." "We have learned our little lesson about coffee and we know something about Postum, too, for we have used Postum now steadily for the last three years and we shall continue to do so. "We have no more use for coffee—the drug drink. We prefer Postum and health." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 21 THE DEATH OF ELI AND HIS SONS. LESSON TEXT-I Samuel 4:13-18. GOLDEN TEXT-Be ye doers of the word, and not hears only, deluding your own selves.-James 1:22 R. V. The Philistines in the days of Eli overran Israel pretty much at will. All Israel, God's people, soon knew that God was speaking through this new prophet. 1. No Help at Ebenezer. vv. 1, 2. Ebenezer was that place where Samuel later set up the stones of commemoration (I Samuel 7:12). Here the aggressive Philistines overcame and put to rout the Israelites. Israel had sinned and needed correction (chapter 7:3; Ps. 106:40, 41). When God's people neglect him they weaken themselves and easily become the prey of their enemies. Full often the church of today stands defeated and disgraced, nay even turns its back to the enemy, because it harbors sin and sinners in its ranks (Josh. 7:12). II. Seeking Help. vv. 3-9. If Israel really desired to know the cause of their discomfiture they did not need to go far to seek it. The trouble was that they were not willing to see and own it (L. Cor. 11:31). The reasoning upon the part of these elders seems to be. "Why have we, Israelites, been smitten by these Philistines who are not God's chosen people?" It was absurd and unjust for them to have to suffer. We hear this same sort of reasoning today, whereas God would have us probe deeper and search our hearts, for if we regard iniquity in our hearts the Lord will not hear us. At Shiloh, Eli is caring for the ark, and with the fatalism and superstition that will govern the ungodly, Israel sends for it "that it may save us" (v. 3). The ark contained the tables of the law and was the symbol of the presence of God (Ex. 25:10-22). Their trust was in the ark and not in the God of the ark. Such is ever the danger of formalism in religion. To carry the ark about Jericho trusting in Jehovah, was quite different from harboring the sons of Eli, yet thinking that God could not let the ark be captured. The churches of our land are the saving salt, but "if the salt hath lost its savour," if Hophni and Phinehas bear the ark, nothing but defeat and disgrace can be expected, though the enemy may tremble (v. 8). The Philistines were strong enough to smite because of the weakness of Israel. They recognized the shouts and remembered the mighty deeds of Jehovah, which exploits would have been repeated had Israel truly turned to God. There was good reason for the Philistines to fear. But God was not on the side of Israel at that time. The Philistines began to exhort themselves. Their call (v. 9) was a good one and was used later by Paul (1 Cor. 16:13). For them not to do anything was to be captured by their former slaves. If they fought, they could but die. III. The Lost Battle, vv. 10-11. God would not succor his chosen people, nor defend the symbols of religion when the spirit and heart of that religion had departed (Ps. 78:56-64). The two reprobate sons of Ell were slain as a punishment for their sins and in fullfillment of the word of God (chapter 2:12; 3:13, 14). Their punishment came in connection with the same holy service they had defiled. IV. The Death of Ell, vv. 12-18. The aged Ell, now ninety-eight years old, was anxiously awaiting news of the battle, "for his heart trembled for the ark of God." This anxiety was quite unnecessary (v. 13). God can take care of his ark. Ell had reason, however, to tremble for Israel and his wicked sons. He is an illustration of those indulgent parents who refuse to use discipline in the care of their children. The ark did not return to Shiloh. After its various vicissitudes it found an abiding place in the house of Abinadab, whose son Eleazar was sanctified to take charge of it. Later it was taken to Jerusalem, and in the meantime Shiloh passed into oblivion. The Golden Text. That we learn to do by doing is a fundamental principle in pedagogy. Mere human words do not change character. Youth does not acquire purity of character by listening to beautiful statements about the virtues. Religion is not a last resource. It must be practiced in youth if it is to give strength, courage and comfort in old age. It is not a matter of creed and formula but a life; it is not a convenience but a course of action that governs all of life. It is not the turning in life's testing times, to those forms from which all life has departed. Parents today seem to be lax in discipline. Too often it is the child that brings up the parent. We need to accustom the child to virtue and obedience, to teach him truth while at the knee, that when "he is old he may not depart" therefrom. While some children of good parents go astray yet this is not the rule. A true Christian atmosphere and spirit of service in the home, the Sunday school and the church, are the greatest possible safeguards for the young Don't exaggerate or misrepresent an article advertised in this page.

EVERYTHING COMES to those who wait, provided they wait long enough and hustle like blazes while they wait. THE CHURCHES have been busy the last few weeks conducting revivals but this has had very little effect on the municipal court docket. DON'T CONTINUE to stand around on the streets complaining about the high cost of living. Go home and plant some potatoes, onions, etc., and in this way reduce your living expenses. LOOK OVER the ads in this paper, the headlines, the general make up, and then compare it with any other weekly you get and you will find the contrast in favor of THE TULSA STAR. THE CONVENTIONS of Lawyers and Teachers in this city last week was a big boost for Tulsa. Every delegate returned home with pleasant memories of the leading city in the southwest CONGRESSMAN MADDEN of Illinois, has won the prayers and plaudits of thousand's of Christian men and women for his manly fight in the U. S. Congress for Justice to all men. This country is sadly in need of more white men like Madden. THERE IS A CLASS OF COLORED MEN who will promptly meet their obligations to any one except their own people. We have such classes in Tulsa and sooner or later the big guns of the Star will be turned on them. AFTER READING the first two or three spasms of Eugene Lorton's address at the Lincoln Day banquet at Oklahoma City, one naturally wishes that "Gene" was a member of the Legislature with a whole supply of big monkey renches. But with the present Steam Roller gang in charge, we fear both "Gene" and his monkey renches would be flattened out beyond recognition. REMEMBER. WHEN YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY AT HOME, you are helping to foster home industry; you help to create employment for your fellow townsmen; you not only make your own living easier, but you make it easier for those who are trying to help you. In fact you become a prime factor in building up your home town. The money you spend here may return to you again, but you have a very slim chance to get any of it back when you spend it away from home. REMEMBER—HOME FIRST. IF THERE IS ANY ONE THING more than another needed in the East End, it is a general "clean up" campaign. And the place to begin is at home. "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." This being true the Star suggests that all the churches of Tulsa, especially the East End, inaugerate a 30 days "CLEAN UP" revival. AS A COMPLIMENT to the officers in the East End it is observed that conditions in this part of the city are greatly improved over what they used to be. THE RACE QUESTION IN THE LEGISLATURE MUCH TO THE DISGUST of every decent, intelligent citizen of Oklahoma, white and black, a few narrow minded, semi-intelligent, idiotic members of the house of representatives precipated the race question in the house Wednesday because a little appriation was being asked for one lone State school for Negroes. We need not comment on this very unpleasant question further than to say that the incident simply shows to what depth some ignorant white can descend. It is a sad reflection on the intelligence of the people of this state to send such men as Childers Morgan, the perverted preache, and A. E. Walden to the legislature. The Negroes of Oklahoma are heavy tax payers and as such are helping to pay the salaries of these men, who in appreciation is like the dog who bites the hand that feeds him. Away with such degenerates!

Color Line At San Frisco Fair Color Line At San Frisco Fair Commissioners of International Exposition to Be eld This Year Anounce That There Will Not Be Equal Accommodations for Afro-Americans-Business League Sounds Alarm. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Feb. 12. The office of the secretary of the National Negro Business League is in receipt of a communication from Mr. J. J. Nashburn, secretary of the local Negro Business League at Oakland, Cal., stating that the commissioners of the International Exposition, to be held in San Francisco during the present year, have notified the local Negro Business Leagues of Oakland and San Francisco that there will not be equal accommodations in San Francisco during the fair for Afro-American people. Blame Restaurant Men: The local leagues of those cities have been requested to appoint committees to locate places in San Francisco and Oakland for colored visitors and to notify intending colored visitors of this condition. The Hotel and Restaurant Association of San Francisco is responsible for this action, the commissioners state. The local Negro Business League of Oakland has made a vigorous protest against these conditions and proposes to give full publicity to this matter before any large number of our people start for California.

There is a certain individual in Tulsa who is putting forth every effort possible soliciting printing and sending it out of town. Thus he is taking away from us, or trying to, that which rightfully should remain among us. The money you spend with out-of-town enterprises will never do Tulsa any good, whether it is for printing or any thing else. Every true home lover owes it to himself as well as those in business here to patronize our home industry. Be a home booster and spend your money at home.

It will not only keep the meat from burning, it will soften the fiber and make it more tender, and improve the flavor as well. A table-spoonful of vinegar to a five-pound roast will be sufficient. Creamed Eggs—Cook six eggs until hard. Make a pint of white sauces, using four tablespoonfuls of flour and the name of butter, a half teaspoonful of salt and a pint of rich milk. Put six slices of toast on a hot dish; pour a layer of sauce over each after spreading them with butter, then cut the egg whites in stripe and add a layer of them. Rub a part of the poets through a sleeve for a garnish, place in the oven for a few minutes and then serve hot. Not Cutlets—Have ready a half cupful of chopped nuts, using Brazil walnuts and almonds, add to them a cupful of bread crumbs and a cupful of mashed potatoes, with a little chopped parsley and onion; beat two eggs; milk with other ingredients; add salt and pepper and form into balls or cakes, dip in beaten egg and crumbs and fry a golden brown. Beet and Celery Salad—Mix equal quantities of chopped boiled beets and crisp celery; moisten with boiled dressing and serve on lettuce leaves. Deviled Oysters—Drain and cut oysters in two; into a saucepan put four tablespoonfuls of vinegar, half a teaspoonful of made mustard, a dash of cayenne, a pinch of sugar and salt, with two tablespoonfuls of butter; simmer together; add about a pint of oysters and cook until well curied. Place on a hot dish and garnish with pieces of lemon. Grape Mousse—Add to a quart of grape juice a half teaspoonful of clove extract, the juice of a lemon and freeze it as for ice; then stir in two stiffly beaten whites, pack in a mold and let stand in ice and salt for two or more hours. Serve with small cakes. Cut the center from a firm cabbage and boil the shell until tender juice into balls the size of a walnut, dip in beaten egg and crumbs and fry in deep fat. Season the cabbage shell with butter, salt and vinegar, and pepper. Serve the balls in the cabbage, both steaming hot. Apple and Grapefruit Salad. — Divide the grapefruit into halves and take out the pulp, crushing it as little as possible. Remove all the connecting fiber and add to the fruit half its bulk in apple, cut in dice. Mix with French dressing, pile high in the shells of grapefruit set in stemmed glasses. Garnish with skinned seeded grapes and serve in the dishes surrounded with cracked ice. Frozen Fruit Cup—A rosy ice with the meat course is a great favorite with many. Put a spoonful of raspberry, lemon or orange ice in a sheer bet glass and pour over it ginger sirup with chopped ginger on the lemon or a tablespoonful of maraschino cherries over raspberry. Garnish with very thin slices of banana and grapes skinned, seeded and cut in halves. Jellied Apples—Pare and core large firm apples, fill the centers with red currant jelly, sprinkle with sugar and lemon juice. Put a little water in the pan around the apples and let them bake in the oven until candied but not broken. Preserved ginger may be used in place of jelly if so desired. Tomato Jelly—Cook together twenty minutes a two-pound can of tomatoes, six cloves, eight pepper corn, one blade of mace, one bay leaf, one onion and eight sprigs of parsley, a half cupful of chopped celery, strain and add one-half package of gelatin, softened in a little cold water, season with salt and a dash of red pepper. Set in ice water to cool, pour into a mold and set on ice until firm. Garnish with roses of mayonnaise and olives. Nellie Maxwell.

SWEET POTATOES AS SOUTHERN- ERS LIKE THEM. The southern yam is on the table in the South from October until late spring and is con- sidered by many people to be the stall of life and they know how to cook it to perfor- faction. 100 Baked Sweet Potatoes — Steam in the skins or cook in boiling water until half done. Peel and slice a half-inch thick. Lay in the bottom of a baking dish and sprinkle with sugar and bits of butter. Then put in another layer and repeat until all are covered. Cover with spritched sugar and bits of butter, pour in a half cupful of water and vinegar and bake uncovered for a half hour. Then uncover to brown. Potatoes Pudding — Steam and mash a quart of sweet potatoes, add a half cupful of butter and half a cupful of sugar spices to taste and a cupful of boiling water and the juice of a lemon. Bake in a well-buttered baking dish until brown on top. Sweet Potatoes and Baked Chicken. —Steam the potatoes and mash with butter and salt. Fill the chicken with the mashed potato, just as you would any stuffing. Fill it to overflow, and bake well while roasting. Let the fowl brown well. The potato is seasoned with the chicken and makes a favorite everyday dish. A sweet potato pie is made as one does pumpkin or squash pie and is very good when one has neither of the other vegetables to use. Potato Pone.-Grate raw potato enough to measure a quart. Pour over it three quartes of sweet milk to keep them from darkening. Beat two eggs, add two cupfuls of sugar, a cupful of butter and a little grated nutmeg. Grease and flour a padding mold and bake in a slow oven for six hour. This is served often as a vegetable, or may be served with sweet cream as a dessert. This is an old favorite plantation dish. Yams With Roast Beef—Lay the peeled potatoes around the roast and baste them when the roast is basted. Bake until the yams are well browned. Cooked with the pork they are also good. 100 WHAT TO EAT When ideas seem to be scarce as to food combinations, and are difficult is seem to be scarce as to nations and one does not know what to serve, try some of these homely dishes. ```markdown ``` Ham and Bean Casserole.—Cover a two-pound slice of ham with milk and let stand for several hours. Put the ham in a casserole and cover with a can of kidney beans which have been well seasoned with mustard, sugar, salt and a bit of onion. Cover with the milk and bake until the beans and ham are tender—about three-quarters of an hour. Shepherd's Pie.—To two cupfuls of meat add the following sauce: Four tablespoonfuls of browned flour, one cupful of meat broth or water, three teaspoonfuls of vinegar, a teaspoonful of sugar, one bayleaf, one clove, five pepper corn and a teaspoonful of salt. Turn into a baking dish and cover with mashed potato; sprinkle with buttered crumbs and brown in the oven. Corn, California Style—Mix a can of corn with a chopped green pepper and a half cupful of thick white sauce, well seasoned with salt. Turn into a buttered casserole and cover with strips of bacon. Bake in the oven until the bacon is cooked. Mexican Rice—Put a half cupful of rice into a hot frying pan with a tablespoonful of olive oil. Roast until the rice is brown and add four or five chopped or canned tomatoes, with two teaspoonfuls of chili pepper pulp. Pour in a cupful of water and simmer until the rice is soft. Oysters in Peppers—Cut the top from as many peppers as there are guests to serve. Remove the white membrane and fill each pepper with six fine oysters; cover with sauce made of one tablespoonful of tomato catup, one teaspoon each of horseradish and made mustard, six drops of Worcestershire sauce, one drop of tabasco sauce and a dash of paprika. Set each pepper in a wreath of shredded cabbage, well chilled and marinated with French dressing. R LADIES OF F A Department Dvoted to the Personal Interests of Friends of the Tuls ORNAMENT HAS CHARM DAINTY JAPANESE GARDEN EASY TO WAKE. As a Centerpiece for the Dinner Table The miniature Japanese garden is a delight. Of course, if you are one of the few persons who needs no good in things Japanese you will not care for a tiny Japanese garden. If you dislike growing things, then you will dislike this sort of garden. And if you object to anything that is destructive and that needs attention, then you will not care for this garden. But if you like things Japanese, if you delight in tiny things that have all the charm of their huge prototypes, if you like to have something growing under your eyes—then you will soon become a devotee of the miniature Japanese garden or landscape. You can buy one ready made, but half the fun of having one lies in making it. This is the way to go about it. First buy something to hold it. For 35 cents you can buy a little Japanese dish six inches in diameter. For other prices you can buy larger dishes, of white porcelain, of gray or brown pottery. Of course, it is easier to get a good effect with a larger dish. Here a word about the treatment of the dish, no matter what it may be, Never crowd it. If the dish is small, place in it only a few objects. If you desire more objects buy a larger dish. A dish ten inches in diameter or of an oval shape, ten inches the longer way, is a good size. After you have selected the dish, plan the garden. There may be an island of moss—the moss can be bought in the florist's shop or in a Japanese shop or you can get it in the woods. Or there can be several islands made of the tops of turnips or carrots, which, by the way, grow wonderful foliage after they have been put in the water for a week or so. Or there can be a sponge island, planted with grass seeds. Then there should be some cracked marble or some pebbles in the bottom of the dish, and over this there should be water. So much for the background. Seeds can be bought for little plants that grow in a week or so, and tiny dwarfed trees can be bought. Bits of ground pine can be stuck into the ground for trees, and these keep green for weeks in the moist sand and moss. Then there are tiny artificial trees of various sorts that add to the landscape. As for the buildings, there are little pagodas and shrines and houses made of clay that are delightful and that cost from fifteen cents to forty or fifty. A tiny Japanese garden with sand path, outlined by diminutive shells, ending in a little red and black gate. There is an artificial cherry tree in full and perpetual bloom, and from the tree hang little lanterns and a cockatoo in a ring. A garden ornament of stone, another little tree, a metal turtle and three little porcelain figures finish the dainty picture. cents each. There are little lam) posts and garden lanterns and there are bird houses set on wicket gates and there are little bridges of metal or of pottery. For ten, fifteen or more cents each there are tiny Japanese figures made of clay porcelain, and there are fishes and deer and other animals, too.

S T A R --- FASHION Julia Bottomley's Latest Ideas on Inter- National Fashions Ulsa Star RM MADE FROM PAISLEY SHAWL EASY Valuable Historic Relic Converted Into One of the Masksomest of Evening Wraps. Miss Christine Whitney, granddaughter of Mrs Anne Hutchins, a relative of the famous Hutchins family measured by Indians in 1660 at Willis's Point on Long Island, N. Y., recalled that her grandmother had in her possession a precious relic a Paisley shawl brought here in 1631 by Mistress Patience Hutchins, bride of a refuge from the English restoration period and great-great-great-grandmother of Miss Whitney. Miss Whitney MILLA LAMBERT THE MADAME MADAME who is seen here wearing one of the fashioned long-skirted "Polly Prim" gowns, secured the shawl and had it designed as the unique evening wrap shown. Before the novel cloak was "made-up" Miss Whitney had received offers for the wonderfully interesting specimens of old-time craftsmanship from the Metropolitan museum and the New York Historical society. GIVE "LONG-WAISTED" EFFECT Girdles and Bodices Are Being Artistically Cut to Meet the Demands of Fashion. Cut-in-one girdles and bodices are manifestly the solution of how to seem to possess the long waist which carless Mother Nature has not bestowed. A model which may owe its creative idea to the overworked and short-lived reincarnated 1880 basque is of darkest green satin and tulle. The bodice of satin, running high at the back of the neck, crosses at the bust over a "modest" of folded white tulle, and diagonally dropped to several inches below the waist, is fold-swathed about the hips upon a jet-palllette hand-trimmed and monkey fur-fringed overskirt of green tulle. The pelt fringes ends almost at the ankles upon a plain cut and moderately wide satin skirt, and more of the fur falls over the tops of the tulle elbow sleeves. There the monkey fringes edges three-cornered epaulets of jet-pallleted net, which, pointing over the arm tops, go squarely across the base of the neck and provide an apology for a collar. Anyhow, it is the only one to which the bodice of the dainty, simple little afternoon frock can lay claim. DICTATES OF FASHION Massive necklaces of cut jet are worn. Some of the new skirts are start- lingly full. The collar retires to the back of the neck. Waistcoat fashions still remain in vogue. The short skirt is exceedingly modish. The circular skirt is rapidly finding friends. The strap slipper has danced itself into fashion. Pur costs stained with a single button are in evidence. A purple red, like raspberry, is on the season's color card. Glove Hint. Do not draw gloves too tightly over the nails. There is a tendency for the hands to settle into the gloves, so that if the gloves fit loosely over the nails in the beginning the length of service is prolonged. Even then the nails persist in wearing through the finger tips before the rest of the gloves wear out. The Gate-Top Bag Again. There is to be a revival of gate-top handbags in the spring. The prettiest models are in chiffon, velvet and other attractive fabrics. The collapsing tops are of gilt, nickel or gun metal, and the interiors are provided with shirred pockets and fittings.

Military service is not corn TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS WHEN BLADDER BOTHERS Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neutralize Irritating Acids—Splendid for the System. Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble.—Adv.

Norticultural Advice PRUNING A RASPBERRY BUSH Canes That Have Borne Fruit Should Be Cut Away Soon as Possible— Overcrowding Is Fatal. (By W. R. GILBERT) The raspberry is too often left alone or prepared by rule of thumb methods only. When this is the case it is useless to look for good crops. The canes that have borne fruit should always be got rid of as soon as they performed this duty. Choose fine weather for this operation, and leave three or four young shoots to each stool. Manure and let them grow away until spring. Then if they appear very crowded, let the side shoots be shortened back before midsummer down to about six or eight leaves from the ground. By doing this the light and air will have free play, and without their THE FARMER'S WEEKLY NEWS Harvesting a Fine Crop of Raspber ries Harvesting a Fine Crop of Raspberries. beneficial agency no good results can be had. The canes of the bushes must never be allowed to press one another. When this is the case good fruit is impossible. Overcrowding is fatal to either fruit or flowers. The great object in pruning is to open the heart of the trees or bush, so as to admit the sunshine and air. The thicket of young suckers should also be removed. To form a raspberry hedge, plant the canes a foot apart, and train on wires. Cut out those that have borne, and train the young canes so that they are six inches apart. In regard to varieties, the very large kinds 1 consider very undesirable, except, as the dealer said, when asked "What are the utterly useless razors you have to offer made for?" "To sell." These mammoth varieties look well, but they lack the juice and the peculiarly acid flavor of the raspberry. PLANT TREES WITH DYNAMITE Excellent Results Secured at Two New Jersey Experiment Stations—Cost Is Little More. With peach trees planted at the Vineland substation of the New Jersey experiment station, the average growth of the dynamited trees the first season was 794 inches, as compared with an average growth of 655 inches for trees planted in the ordinary way. In all cases the ground was thoroughly plowed before planting. In another test in the same orchard there was a difference ranging from 652 inches, or over fifty-four feet, of growth to 1,397 inches, or over 116 feet of growth per tree in favor of dynamiting. Similar results were obtained with peaches at New Brunswick, whereas the apple trees showed practically no difference in the amount of growth between the trees planted with dynamite and those planted in the ordinary way. In all the tests made the percentage of trees living through the first season was practically the same under both methods of planting. The cost of planting was about five cents greater per tree for the dynamited trees. Although no conclusions are drawn from the first year's work, the opinion is expressed that the use of dynamite for planting fruit trees is worthy of a thorough trial. Apples in Storage. If the apples in the cellar are not keeping well, carefully sort out every one that has the slightest speck of decay or broken skin, wrap the sound ones in a paper, pack loosely in boxes and barrels and keep them in a cool place. Second Year Pruning. Pruning the young tree the second season after setting consists primarily in removing the superfluous branches and in shortening the new growth.

GREAT HELP TO A SICK WOMAN This Lady Says, "I Cannot Find Words To Express How Thankful I Am To Cardui." Jonesville, Va.—"I certainly appreciate what Cardul, the woman's tonic, has done for me," writes Mrs. Owen F. Wells, of this town. "Before I began to take Cardul, I could hardly go about. I had several womanly troubles, which caused me much suffering, and were very troublesome. But now I feel like a different person. I had often read of Cardul, but had little faith in it. My husband urged me to try it, and now I cannot find words to express how thankful I am. Cardul is a wonderful medicine and I feel that it was a greater help than anything I could have taken. I had scarcely no pain or suffering at childbirth, and I feel I owe it all to Cardul. I know that no woman would make a mistake in using Cardul at that most critical time. It will save them so much suffering. It is my sincere desire that this statement may be seen and read by all sufferers who suffer as I did. I am telling all my friends and acquaintances of the great cure I have received." If you suffer from any of the ailments so common to women, give Cardul a trial. Thousands of women have voluntarily written, to tell of the great benefit that Cardul has been to them. Why shouldn't it help you, too? Try Cardul - Adv.

Advantage of Silencer This crash of the bullet makes the value of the Maxim silencer very little, so far as military efficiency is concerned, in the way that the fiction writer imagines the silencer to be useful, but not to prevent the enemy from discovering the position of the men firing as many fancy. Its value lies in the fact that it eliminates fully half of the recoil of the rifle from the action of the gases in its chambers, and it gives the officers much better control over the fire, because of the lessened noise of the rifles. It cuts down the roar of the Springfield to about the noise of the .25-20 and thus the roar of the rifles at the firing line is much reduced, and the commands of the officers can be heard.—Outing.

Notes in Brief Lawyers Oppose White Guardians For Negroes The meeting of the Colored Bar Association in this city last week was one of no little interest to the legal craft, and all of those who attended the meeting agree that it was not without interest to the laymen. The program was not carried out as arranged, because some of those on the program did not appear. It is said that two Muskogee lawyers who were on program came to Talsa, but did not put in their appearance at the Bar Association meeting. However, a very creditable program was rendered as follows: "The Lawyer as a Business Men," by John R. McBeth of Eufaula. Among other good points shown in this paper were the following recommendations: (1) As a primary rule for the guidance of all practicin lawyers, a real appreciation and familiar acquaintance with the greatness of a magnitude composed of units, that they may be express in the terms of the doctrines of law and equity juraphrudence; (2) a zealous and arduous study of such doctrines and principles; (3) a systematic and scientific application of those doctrines and principles as they relate to persons and things, with confidence, faith and hope fraught throughout with courage, skill and honesty of purpose. "Uniform Divorce Laws," by H. A. Guess of Tulsa. This was an exhaustive paper on the laws touching upon this subject and advocating that a federal law be enacted making the law uniform throughout all the states. "The Lawyer as a Fraternal Man," by E. I. Saddler of Guthrie, who advocated that an unbreakable band of friendliness and co-operation be established and maintained throughout the membership of the association. Many things were discussed touching upon the law and procedure as the same relates to the courts of our state, and resolutions were passed appointing committees to seek relief from the appointment of white guardians for negro children. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, E. Saddler of Guthrie; first vice-president, W. S Peters of Bole; second vice president, John R. McBeth of Eufaula; secretary, J. C. Evans of Okmuigee; treasurer, W. H. Twine of Muskogee. Executive Committee, S. T. Wiggins, chairman, Wagoner, P. R. Price, Muskogee; D. J. Wallace, Okmuigee; C. E. Corbett, Wewoka; W. H.

Paris.—The insane asylum at Perray-Vaucluse, which was emptied when the Germans approached Paris, has been filled with Belgian lunatics compelled to leave Ypres under fire. The insane persons were five days on the road to Vaucluse, and a perilous journey it was for the physicians and nurses in charge. One of the most bizarre sights of the war was the passing on the main line to Bordeaux, during the height of the early September crisis, of trainloads of lunatics bound for asylums well out of the danger zone. It is alleged that the Germans bombarded some asylums and loosed the patients upon the roads, to run terrified before their fire. Physicians report that the effect of bombardment and the general excitement of approaching or passing armies on the insane is curiously varied. Some go into violent crises, but many are oblivious, even to shells. It is thought that great numbers of lunatics and criminals must be at large in France as the result of hasty evacuation of jails and asylums. BRITAIN'S GREAT AVIATOR INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE Flight Commander Claude Graham-White, at the right, in conversation with British army officers and a French aviator "somewhere in France." (Name deleted by censor) ARE WARNED AGAINST ARMOR German Troops Told by Commander it May Even Cause Them Harm. Paris—The general commanding the Eighteenth Germany army corps has, according to the Temps, issued this notice to his troops: "Bullet-proof armor, of which various models have been placed on sale and actively advertised, does not give at all the protection promised. "On the contrary upon exposure to it is shown that the armor, instead of protecting, becomes itself the cause of grave wounds to those wearing it. Besides, the pieces of armor interfere with freedom of movement and make the soldiers' work more difficult. It is necessary to issue this caution against worthless purchases." ALIENS HUNGER IN LONDON Their Business Ruined by War, They Are Forced to Seek Charity. London.—An eminent architect of London, whose business was broken up because he was an alien enemy, applied for relief at the Religious Society of Friends, as he had but a single half-penny in his pocket to subsist on. He was expecting £25 from his wife and the money had not arrived from Austria. Many other alien enemies have been spared the monotonous life of the concentration camps only to find themselves dependent on charity. They are largely painters, musicians and professional men of long residence in England and not infrequently have English wives. ARTIST HONORED BY FRENCH 'Hansi" Who Ridiculed German Control of Alsace-Lorraine, Gets Decoration. Paris.—The Alsatian caricaturist M. Waitz, who is known as "Hansi," has been decorated with the Legion of Honor. Some time before the war broke out "Hansi" was sentenced to one year's imprisonment at Leipzig for cartoons he drew ridiculing everything German in Alsace-Lorraine. He escaped, however, and volunteered as an interpreter in the French army. He has been mentioned in dispatches for his courage and as being a splendid example for his comrades. Live in Cellars. Paris.—A dispatch says 998 houses in Lille have been destroyed by bombardment and the people are still living in cellars. Johnson to Be Extradited Soon Chicago Feb. 16.—Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist, who fled to Europe after being sentenced to a year in the federal penitentiary for violation of the Mann act, will be extradited and returned to Chicago on a charge of conspiracy, according to a statement today by Charles F. Clyne, United States district attorney. The recent supreme court decision in a white slave case, holding that a conspiracy may be entered into to violate the act, was cited by Mr. Clyne. "The offense for which Johnson was tried," District Attorney Clyne sald, is not extraditable, but conspiracy to violate the United States law is. If the pugilist is not returned through any of our various plans either before or after his boxing match at Juarez, Mexico, he will be indicted for conspiracy, arrested wherever he may be and brought back. "He may elude us and escape to Europe again, but his freedom will be short lived." TEACHERS OP- POSE TAX MEASURF We, your committee on resolutions submit the following: First—Whereas there is now pending in the Legislature a measure known as the Campbell Russell Bill, the object of which is to legalize the Constitutional Amendment providing for a equal distribution of Corporation Tax throughout the State.

Sixth—Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the various papers of the county. Signed. A. C. BOWLES, E. H. LENOX, J. H. BROWN, NELLIE TEAGUE, N. ETHED SNIDOW. 34 BaPlised at Mt. Zion After a rousing revival lasting 40 days, conducted at the Mt. Zion church by Rev. Cappers, assisted by Rev. R. A. Whitaker the pastor 144 members have been added to the membership of that church. Thirty four of these were baptized last Sunday and ten will be baptized tomorrow. The remaining 101 were professed Christians who joined that church. During the revival $489.26 was raised, making adaily average of $12.23. The converts were banqueted at the Mt. Zion Tabernacle Tuesday night. $104 was donated to Rev. Cappers for his service. 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. Dairying is one of the most profitable branches of farming, and experts agree that it can be made to pay, even as a side issue, right in this neighborhood. If you want to increase your income from your cows read Klimball's Dairy Farmer for a year. It is published twice a month and sells for $1.00 per year. You don't need to consider the matter of cost, for we will send you this splendid journal with two other magazines and our own paper all for only $1.25 a year. This is the best bargain we have ever been able to offer, and we give you a list of forty magazines to select from—everyone of them high class and clean and fit to take into your home. Read our big club offer on another page. You will find it interesting to elect a club. If you don't want a dairy paper you can take Farm Life, or a poultry journal, along with a fashion paper for your wife and a story paper for the whole family. You have your choice of any club. Pick out the one you want and send in your order right away. Cornered. "That chauffeur was a great friend podiment." "Of course. And I advise you to do he same.
