A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING The President Praises Ninth And Tenth Cavalry NEGROES ALWAYS LOYAL BUT VERY LITTLE APPRECIATED Vol. 3, No 25 The Pre NEGROES ALW VERY LITTLE Chief Executive Expresses Appreciation of Regiment5s Service at Nacob by Letter Through Secretary of War—Gossip of the Troopers. (Special to the Chicago Defender) Douglas, Ariz., April 30.—Last week Colonel John F. Gilfoyle, commanding the Ninth Cavalry, received the following letter: WAR DEPARTMENT. Washington, D. C., April 7, 1915. The Commanding Officer, Ninth Cavalry. Douglas, Ariz. Dear Sir:—By the direction of the President, itake great pleasure in expressing to the officers and enlisted men of the Ninth Cavalry, his appreciation of their splendid conduct and efficient service in the enforcement of the United States' neutrality laws at Naco, Ariz. during November, December and January. very respectfully. Secretary of War. It is seldom that a regiment in the United States' army receives such commendation direct from the secretary of war. The officers and men feel proud of the recognition given them. The letter was read by the colonel during the ceremony of presentation of their standards, which was held on the drill ground at Sunny Side. After the regiment had presented sabers to the standards Colonel Guilfoyle addressed the men, making a soldierly and impressive speech. He mentioned the fact that by next September it will be three years that the Ninth Cavalry has been stationed in Douglas. Change in Attitude "When the regiment came here," explained the colonel, "it was not wanted. The people of Douglas were afraid that it would be a source of trouble. Your conduct has been such that sentiment in the city has undergone a complete change, and citizens are now asking the war department to keep the regiment here permanently. I am pleased with the record you have made." Colonel Guilfoyle also complimented the men on what they had done at Naco. The Ninth bore the full brunt of trouble there. The troopers patiently patrolled the line at risk of their lives while stray bullets—that in some instances seemed to be deliberately fired instead of stray—zipped past them, wounding and some times killing comrades and horses. It was enough to test the discipline of the finest army in the world, and the Ninth Cavalrymen stood the test. Risked Their Lives. Officers and men both risked their lives repeatedly to assist Naco residents to places of safety. Not once was a complaint made against an officer or soldier. The conduct of the regiment has now received the commendation from Washington that it deserves. After Colonel Guilfoyle had read the letter from the secretary of war the regiment passed in review at the trot and gallop, and was dismissed. Editors' Note: It is gratifying to know that the president of the United States has seen fit to officially compliment the Ninth Cavalry for their faithful service. It was manly of him to give those Colored citizen soldiers praise which was so much due them. The Negro has always been loyal to the Stars and Stripes and to the government generally whether on the battle field as a soldier or at home as a plain citizen. He has always been willing to sacrifice his labor, money and life to the call of his country and is still willing to do so in spite of the many injustices and indignities heaped upon him by those for whom he has so freely given his life—his all. Even in the Nations Capital today by sanction of the president who a few days ago officially thanked these Colored soldiers for their faithful service rank injustices are being heaped upon their race in the form of unfair and unnecessary "Jim Crow" segregation. In many states he is forced to pay taxes without representation and in nearly all sections of the country the doors --- The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma of opportunity are closed to him and when he dares to protest the "color man" is flaunted in his face and he is told in words or action, sometimes both, that "this is the white man's country." Imagine, if you can, the feeling of these Colored soldiers when Secretary Garrison's letter was read to them, and try to fancy yourself in their places. (We mean this for our brothers in white) See them marching to the music of the fife and drum during the revolutionary war; see them in the civil war on both sides, loyal in Mexico fighting for the glory of their country; see them in the Philippine Islands during the Spanish-American war charging up San Juan Hill in a shower of shot and shell from the Spanish soldiers which had almost annihilated a regiment of white soldiers; see the blood of black men mingled with that of white men, both Ameican citizens fighting for a common cause and behold when the smoke of this battle hal cleared away a Negro—a black citizen of American—stood on the pinacle of the Spanish fortifications waving in patriotic triumph hte Stars and Stripes, the flag of his country, the emblem of liberty (?). Now then see him returning to "the land of the free and the home of the brave," the white soldiers returns to find a big broad land of opportunity with outstretched hands, biding him outer and partake of all the good things the country affords. And so he does and is ever atterwards honored and respected. Quite different with the Colored soldier. He returns to find only those of his race rejoicing and welcoming him, instead of out stretched hands of welcome, he finds the American citizens pointed at him; the doors of opportunity closed to him because of his color—and all of the essential rights and liberties of American citizenship denied him, while any scalawag from the slums of any country is admitted to full citizenship rights unhampered by any restrictions or "Jim Crow" discriminations. Thus the Negro must stand back and look on while others enjoy the liberties and freedom which he has given his blood to establish in this country, while he and his are barred on every hand because of his color. In the face of these undenable facts we can not quite understand why a Negro should feel disposed to take up arms for a country that so maltreats him and doing so has always been loyal to the flag. But he has and every black man is proud of his record. The Negro is indeed loyal and as a soldier very richly deserves the praise given them by President Wilson. SAM'S BUNCH DYING ByGeo. W. Perry. In last weeks' letter Mr. Hurst stated that Sam left some of the people in the woods to starve. Mr. Holly referred to in his letter wrote his wife a few days ago stating tht he rescued his father in the bushes where Sam had left him ti die. We will hear all the story soon and the pood deluded followers of Sam will fade away like a myth. Liddell of Weeleetka called a meeting last week and tried to raise the $3,000 that Sam claimed he wants before returning home. Some of the poor people are still paying their nickels and dimes to try and raise the money while others are waiting with hope that he will measure up to their expectations. Some of the delegates are dead and others are slick according to Mr. Holly's letter a part of TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1915 France has long advocated the principle of religious freedom to all. When it came to choose chaplains for the regiments going to the front the same principle was adhered to and this picture, taken in a small village near the battle front, shows two Roman Catholic priests, a Protestant minister (in the center) and at the right a Jewish rabbi.

Johnson Has Made Good as Head of State School at Taft. which we quote as follows: "W. H. Lewis is dead; Garret of Clearview is dead; Garret of near Boley is sick and two women delegates are sick. I wish I was in America and be sure to tell my brother that twenty years will not be long to get ready to come to Africa. I am not feeling well for I have been awful busy waiting on those who are sick." You can readily understand now the scheme is a failure as published heretofore. They are starving and suffering. The delegates thought they would be back home by this time and now they have been gone for almost 18 months and nothing yet has terminated only now that they are starving for food and water. Now they are The editor visited the village of Taft last Friday for the express purpose of attending the closing exercises of the State School for Deaf, Dumb and Blind Colored Orphans and to make a quiet investigation of the general surroundings and conditions there. Much to our delight we found everything in first class condition and the inmates apparently happy and contented. Before going to the institution the editor made a personal tour of the business part of the town, but nowhere did he find anything but words of praise for the head of this institution, Prof. J. R. Johnson, who seems to be held in the highest esteem by the citizens of the town as well as the inmates of the school. Certainly Prof. Johnson is putting forth his best efforts to promote the happiness and welfare of his wards and is entitled to the commendation of every good citizen of the state for his splendid work as superintendent of this institution. The editor had visited the school once before under S. D. Russell's administration and therefore was able to compare conditions there now as against conditions at that time and the comparison was much in Prof. Johnson's favor. The buildings are all in splendid condition and $5,000 worth of improvements have been added to the institution out of the same appropriation that the inmates of the school, it is said almost staved on before. Now the children are well fed, neat dressed and under good discipline. 101 of the 160 acres owned by the school are now under cultivation, 40 acres in vegetables which will help being deserted by their alleged chief As we have stated before all African schemes in this country have failed and left the poor ignorant class, yet hardworking class of our people wragged and homeless. Robbed them of thousands of dollars and send them around over the country working for nothing trying to keep soul and body together. If you want to see our people in a terrible fix visit some of the African camps in this state on the side of creeks and branches. All of the news will finally come out in spite of the fact that Sam and his bunch are trying to keep the news from the public so they can continue to rob the poor, deluded followers. Watch for more tales of woe soon. to reduce the living expense of the school. It is the desire of Prof. Johnson to make the institution self-sustaining, and if he continues to pursue the course he is now following he will easily succeed. Our visiting this institution is forceably impressed by its clean sanitary surroundings and by the homelike appearance. The inmates do not doop around with long faces of sorrow as most people away from the school think, but on the contrary they have all the appearance of well bred children with a marked spirit of independence. This is the result of the training under Prof. Johnson. The school closed a little earlier this year because the superintendent desired to put in all the time possible on the farm. The program rendered last Friday night by the inmates was an exceptionally good one and was a splendid example of what the proper training may do for our unfortunate children. The mutes filled places on the program and each one of them showed signs of high mental development. The program renderd was as follows: 1.—Chorus, "Forget Me Not." 2.—Invocation. 3.—Hungarian Folk Dance, Primary grades. 4.—Recitation — "Womanhood," Modene Giles. 5.—The Dr's Visit," Grace and Emery Mayberry. 6.—The Watch—Albert Miles and Clarence Berry. 7.—Floral drill. 8.—Recitation—What to Drink— --- James Johnson. 9. —What Girls Love to do. Six girls. 10. —Pathos—What Do Tears Avall—Mary Wilson. 11. —Merry Maldens, song and dance. 12. —Recitation—A Nose Out of Joint—Leverne Russell. 13. —The Boy Who Would Not Go to Bed—Beatrice Harry, Beatrice Redman, and Willie Phillips. GRAMMAR GRADES 15—An Imitated Elimination of Hypoacery—Rev. Raybanum, D. D. and Ph. D. 16—Kentucky Babe in double quartette. Closeing Curtain. Short intermission. 17—Operetta—Red Riding Hood's Rescue. After the final number on the program was rendered Prof. Johnson came forward to the front of the stage and in a few extemporaneous remarks thanked the citizens of the town and visitors for their presence and told of his work as head of the institution and of future plans. "These children," he said, "are as dear to me as my own, three of whom are counted in the number we have here, and I am planning day and night for their welfare. The inmates of this school are not subjects of any man's pity. This is their home and they are as well cared for as any of your children. We are closing the school early this year because we desire to educate their hands as well as their heads so that they may be better prepared to go out into the world and make their own way." Aside from the money spent out of the last appropriation for the fiscal year ending June 1st Prof. Johnson says more than $4,000 of the amount remain untouched. The last legislature appropriated money to build a residence for the superintendent and increased his salary from $1800 to $2500 a year. State Superintendent Wilson and the State Board of Affairs are well pleased with the record Prof. Johnson has made and they are doing everything possible to encourage him in his work. The health of this institution is looked after by Dr. T. W. Walker of Taft who is employed by the state for this purpose. He makes daily visits to the school and inspects the children and as soon as any bad symptoms appear he immediately treats the patient. As a result of his watchfulness and attention the health of the inmates is above normal. Special commendation is due the six teachers for their workr under Prof. Johnson.

Subscription $1.00 Per Year Cavalry Guilty, Or Not Guilty Sunday morning, May 2, about 3 o'clock there was a cry of distress heard in the colored settlement of the city where lived an elderly white woman, 83 years of age. A man had entered her house, turned out the light and was in bed with her. She was awakened by his touches and attempted to raise an alarm. She was struck by this flend several times over the head and face and other parts of the body and choked into subjection. When he had accomplished his aim he made his exist from the same window through which he had entered the building. After gaining consciousness the old lady went among her neighbors and told her sad experience and an alarm was made, county and city officers responded at once to the call and guarded the house till day light dispelled the darkness. When an investigation showed tracks of a man having climbed through the window and took an course from the house. Convinced of the fact that an intruder had entered this home the authorities wired Coffeyville, Kas., for a pack of blood hounds. At eleven o'clock the M. K. & T. passenger train arrived with the dogs on board. Then the hounds were hurried to the scene of the trouble and carried to the shoe prints made in the mud under the window, made by the fleeing brute as he left the scene of his crime. The dogs at once scented the track and took up the trail, east to the Santa Fe railroad track, thence north to a railroad bridge crossing, thence east to an old deserted shack situated near the bank of Taney river at which place the trail ended, investigation showed the door of the house closed but not fastened. the door was pushed open and to the surprise of the brute hunters a WHITE MAN lay on the floor. The dogs could hardly be restrained; however, they were finally forced into obedience. The White Man was arrested a shoe that had a broken place in the sole was taken from his foot placed on the track, found around the house, in which he was hiding; the same shoe was carried to the house in which the crime was committed and placed upon the tracks found under the window and that shoe with its broken sole fit both tracks precisely. Now this White Man, run down by blood hounds from the scene of cripe to his hiding place; wearing the identical shoe which fits precisely the tracks around the house in which he was hiding, also the ones under the window of the house of the crime was turned loose by the county officers for lack of evidence. Now, if all that I have said is true, which every word is true—is not that a strange chain of circumstantial evidence? Then is the White Man guilty or not? A Colored Man was taken from a freight train at Wan, Okla., brought to the scene but was afterwards released because his shoe did not fit the track. Mak God hasten the time when all flendish brutes be they white or black will meet their just reward, and may the time come in my day when the officers of the law will not minimize, nor overlook crime though committed by a White man. Is he guilty or not? J. N. WALL, Pastor A. M. E. Church. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a blank or heavily blurred document.

McCollogh TULSA, OKLA Phone 3337 TULSA, OKLA TULSA, OKLA THE TULSA STAR AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The first funds for the Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth were collected in and around Marton, Mass., during the summer of 1891. Jennie Dean obtained work as a cook in a boarding house in Marton, and when her day's work was over, she went about talking of her school in churches or to any one that would listen to her. She also went to Washington, where she managed to interest in her scheme several prominent men and women, who formed a board of directors to promote the work. Miss Dean then went to Boston with letters to Dr Edward Everett Hale, who helped her by sending out an appeal for funds from his own office, with the result that Jennie Dean returned to Manassas in the following spring with the necessary amount. Since the early days of the single frame schoolhouse to its present state of a number of substantial buildings, there have been desperately hard roads to travel, and the end has not been reached yet. Through all these years there has always been the same cry for more funds to carry on the work, for the cause of Negro education does not always call forth the largest contributions. Through all Miss Dean's uniting efforts and struggles, up to the time had the fullest sympathy of the Negroes of her section of Virginia. Many of them were too poor to give money, but there were few who did not give in some form, varying from a barrel of apples to a day's labor. There could never be a moment's question of the real need of an institution of this sort, the natural outgrowth of a deep and fervent desire of a people fully appreciative of their lack of all that would make them of value to the white man's world, of which they were now a part. The interest of the Negroes of this district in the school has increased year by year, and while their contributions are of necessity very small, they manage to raise annually something over a thousand dollars toward an endowment fund through personal gifts, church entertainments, picnics, and frequent church collections. Recently there was erected at the Hampton institute a two-story brick building to be used as a social center for the boys. Contracts were awarded to the trade school departments and student tradesmen did the construction work. Today the building stands completed. It is known as Clarke hall. It is used by the Young Men's Christian association. To appreciate the meaning of these three examples of construction work done by the Hampton tradesmen, one must see the completed structures and realize the building problems which the young Negro and Indian, tradesmen met and successfully solved. While construction work calls for ability to read working drawings and follow detailed specifications, the demands made by repair problems are in many instances even more taxing. To make a repair quickly, skillfully and economically, requires unusual ability. Hampton institute is indeed an industrial village in which there is constant demand for men who can do good repair and construction work. So long as his mother lives there is no probability that anyone in our town will be permitted to forget that Lafe Swisgood has a good job in New York. When I consider the cost of this war, when I think of the blood that has been shed; of the property that has been destroyed and the misery that has been caused—I am sometimes inclined to thank God that I am not a member of a superior race. Rather I am disposed to thank God that I belong to a people that cannot hope and does not desire to prosper at the cost of any other race. There is a certain advantage in belonging to a race that has to make its way peacefully through the world; a race that prosperps, if it prosperps at all, because it has made friends rather than enemies of the people by whom it is surrounded. There is a certain satisfaction, also, in belonging to a race whose hope of success in the world consists of making itself useful to the world, and it is not wholly a disadvantage to the Negro that, though he should fight in every war as he has in this, it is not to maintain his own superiority, but that of some other race that he fights—Booker T. Washington in the North American Review. For misinformation concerning any incident apply to a bystander. New to the search for a good time, that of striving for comfort is the most marked human characteristic. Sim Heckle has a cushion on his wheelbarrow. A man goes back to his old home town and discovers that the girl he mistakes for the one he used to know is her granddaughter. If you are not particular about the way you get it, a good living can be made off those whom the doctors have failed to cure. In an interview at New York Mr. Percy Grainger, noted Australian pianist, said: "Frederick Dellius has a harmonic and polyphonic sense that makes him like a modern Bach, and it is easy to see how he could be attracted by the improvised songs which he heard on his father's plantation. It is not so much the melody in these songs which attracts one as it is the method of singing—especially the part singing." He then referred to his stay in New York and the pleasure he had had in meeting several of the negro composers whose work he had previously known, and in hearing them play. "When I arrived in New York," Mr. Grainger said, "it was a very great pleasure to me to meet Mr. J. Rosa mond Johnson, whom I had long admired as a composer, having fallen in love with his delightful song 'Under the Bamboo Tree' several years ago when I first heard it while on an extended tour in Australia, my native country. There were several good singers with me, and I choralized it and we sang it often. An American creative genius that I am particularly interested in is the colored composer, Will Marlon Cook, whose choruses, 'Rain Song' and 'Invocation'—to mention only two—are works of great originality and true inspiration, and have a suitable harmonic flavor all their own. "I have had many delicious musical impressions while I. New York, but none of my hours have been more happily spent than at the Music School Settlement for Colored People, over which Mr. Rosamond Johnson presided, and where I first heard the Hampton quartette, Mr Henry Burleigh and several other fascinating Negro artists." No institution of learning is now complete without its extension department, and a recent "exhibit" in this direction was varied, dramatic and full of that humor that borders en pathos. Two men at Tuskegee were brought in from the adjoining country to tell how they acquired land and were now tilling their own farms, tracing their inspirations, of course, to the farmer conferences and to the radiating influences of Tuskegee. One woman told of how she secured a better schoolhouse for the "chillun." Egg selling, chicken raising, and many other ways too well known to the women of the North, which often indicate an obscure selfishness and a hidden penuriousness, here became high generalship and splendid courage. But more eloquent than the farmer parsons or the soliciting schoolhouse builders was the stern Angelolike countenance of the wife who told to the preacner, "You go to school and I will take care of the plowing and the children." She said not a word. She received no plaudits, but she, not the parson, moved the silent depths of the soul. One slip of a girl, from the "honor three months" of required cadeting in a country school, told how she not only washed up the schoolhouse but cleaned up the homes in which she boarded, brought in the cook stove that was all right except that it had lost one leg, and taught them how to enlarge their dietary list. The extension department of Tuskegee goes far afield and there were thrilling stories of achievements in South Carolina and other adjoining states.—Exchange Rev. H. H. Dunn of New Orleans in a sermon has outlined the progress of the colored people of New Orleans for the last year. The first public playground for colored children was opened; $500 was raised by the colored citizens for it, and white citizens contributed $2,300 in addition; white and colored physicians met together to discuss Negro health; public library for Negroes has been started; the city council has purchased a site at a cost of $8,000 and appropriated $2,500 annually for maintenance; a building valued at $38,000 is nearing completion. The public school system still lacks a high school, but there are 8,184 pupils enrolled and 155 public school teachers, of whom eight are white. One new school building has been opened. The eighth grade has been restored in three schools, and will be started in another this month. There are a number of patrons' and parents' clubs. On the McMasters farm in Richmond, Me., there are two families of tame foxes, numbering 13 in all. They were brought up on a bottle and have become pets of the family. At Baldwin Farms, some dozen miles from Tuskegee, a few northern capitalists have secured possession of 2,000 acres or more of land, which they are selling in small lots on reasonable terms to ambitious home-steaders, helping them build the initial cottage, lending them a little money with which to get started. Here college graduates and city bred young husbands and wives are settling down contentedly to the task of making homes on the farm.

For the masses in all lands the usual good dash of cayenne is a favorite combination. Rice should be cooked so tender that it may be easily crushed between the fingers. A most crisp and refreshing salad is that of head lettuce and cucumbers with a garnish of red pepper, cut in strips. Rub the salad bowl with the cut side of a clove of garlic, arrange the crisp leaves of lettuce, well dried in it, then sliced cucumbers, sprinkled with a bit of chopped onion and pepper. Cover with French dressing made of four tablespoonfuls of olive oil, one of vinegar and salt, and paprika to taste. Spanish Rice and Cheese—Cook a half cupful of rice in a quart of boiling water, drain and dash on cold water so that each grain stands out full and white. Put into a bowl a glass of currant jelly, pour over it a cupful of boiling water and stir rapidly until the jelly is dissolved. Pour over the rice and cook twenty minutes. Then take from the fire, add two cupfuls of walnuts, chopped fine, one-half cupful of grated cheese, one-half cupful of cream, whipped. Arrange lettuce leaves for individual salad dishes. Put two heaping tablespoonfuls of the rice on each, and garnish with a tablespoonful of whipped cream. Salmon Salad—Take a can of salmon, add equal measures of chopped celery, a few olives finely minced, and a sour pickle also chopped, a half cupful of freshly grated coconut and serve on lettuce with a plain boiled dressing which has been made rich by the addition of whipped cream. Quick Graham Bread—Beat together one egg and two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and a cupful of sweet milk in which a teaspoonful of soda is dissolved. Melt a tablespoonful of butter and add one-half cupful of sifted flour and two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar. Sift and add one and a half cupfuls of graham flour. Beat well and bake in a single loaf bread pan. This is best eaten warm. Water cress often, with no dressing but salt, makes a delicious and especially wholesome spring salad. half cupful of rice, cover with cold water, and let stand over night. Drain and add slowly three pints of boiling water; cook until soft throughout. Take a cupful of the drained rice, add a cupful of pecan nuts, finely chopped, one cupful of cracker crumbs, one cupful of milk and one egg slightly beaten, one and a half teaspoonfuls of salt and a few dashes of pepper. Turn into a small buttered bread pan, smooth and spread with a tablespoonful of melted butter. Bake in a moderate oven one hour. Remove to a hot platter and surround with white sauce and carrot timbales. For the sauce use two tablespoonfuls each of flour and butter and a cupful of thin cream. When the butter is melted and bubbling hot add the flour, and when well mixed add the cream. Cook until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Nellie Maxwell Tells of things new and delicious to tempt the Palate He who is not conscious of pleasure when he eats is not worthy to sit at table with the elect. For the masses in all lands the usual diet is still mainly of foods locally and inexpensively produced. OLD ECONOMICAL DISHES. Take a slice of round steak, cover with a layer of sliced potatoe, a layer of onions and on top two sliced green peppers. Season and add a pint of boiling water, cover and bake two hours. BRI Veal With Onions.—Brown a slice of veal in butter until well browned on both sides. Fill the frying pan with sliced onions, add two bay leaves, four pepper corns and enough boiling water to cover the meat. Cook until the meat is tender. Noodles and Ham.—Butter a quart mold, sprinkle thickly with fine bread crumbs and line with cooked noodles which should be cold. Then put a layer of chopped ham, highly seasoned, a layer of noodles until the dish is full. Cover with a plate and bake one hour. Turn out on a platter and serve with spinach or sauerkraut. Spiced Carrots.—Cook until tender young carrots, sprinkle with flour, powdered cloves, butter, lemon juice, reheat and serve with parsley as a garnish. Apples and Onions (Flemish Onions).—Slice thinly green apples and onions, sprinkle with flour and brown in butter, using equal quantities of apple and onion. Place in layers in a baking dish with buttered crumbs, season with lemon juice and finish the top with buttered crumbs. When the crumbs are brown the dish is ready to serve. May Day Cake.—Soften half a cupul of butter, add a cupful of sugar, two-thirds of a cup of milk alternately with two and a half cupfuls of flour which has been sifted, with two teaspoonials of baking power and a half a teaspoonful of salt.

Bake in layers, putting the layers together with boiled icing to which is added chopped raisins and nuts. Host with white icing and decorate with pink and green candies. A quick dessert and one always liked is this—cut flue two or three kinds of fruit, serve in sherbet cups with a little sugar syrup to sweeten. SOME DISHES OF CURRY. Curry is made up of various spices; the word itself means "bazaar stuff." In our markets may be bought various combinations called curry powder which suit different tastes. Those put up by reliable firms are satisfactory. ```markdown ``` Curried Cauliflower. Have ready a well-cooked, seasoned cauliflower. Place it on a dish and season with a dash of cayenne pepper. Pour over the cauliflower a sauce prepared as follows: Melt a half cupful of butter, add two tablespoonfuls of flour and two teaspoonfuls of curry powder. Cook together until well blended, stir in a cupful of hot milk and a shaving of onion, adding salt to season. Mushrooms are delicious served with curry in the sauce. Mulligatawny—Fry a minced onion till brown in half a cupful of butter, with a chopped green pepper and a few chilies and a clove of garlic. Add any bits of cold fowl cut in dice and half a cupful of cold minced lamb or mutton. Allow the mixture to brown, add half a cupful of boiled rice, one tablespoonful of curry powder, a chopped green apple, half a cupful of finely sliced egg plant or squash or other vegetable, and equal amounts of green peas or beans cooked. Cover with a pint of chicken gravy and season well. Serve hot. Curried Eggs—Mince a green apple and fry with an onion in a little butter until brown. Stir in three teaspoonfuls of curry powder, add half a dozen pounded brazil nuts or almonds. Mix a teaspoonful of flour with a cupful of seasoned stock, add to the curry and simmer ten minutes. Have ready six hard cooked eggs cut in halves; add them carefully to the sauce and let stand to get well heated. Serve with crisp crackers or toast well buttered. Curry and rice, is such a standard dish that it hardly needs to be mentioned. Cocoanut and curry with a R LADIES OF FA A Department Devoted to the Personal Interests of Jr. Late N Friends of the Tuls DAINTY LITTLE FROCK DESIGN WILL BE FOUND EASY TO FASHION. That It Must Be Simply Made Is First Requirement—Guimpe of White Chiffon Is Softly Surpliced Over the Bust. For the benefit of those who wish to know how to remake a taffeta frock for semi-eventing wear I am showing the design sketched herewith, and perhaps it may solve similar problems K. J. Simple Frock Interestingly Treated. for some others, writes Lillian E. Young in the Washington Star. It is specified that it must be simply made, with enough material for the necessary full skirt, but very little left for the bodice. And so, with this verbal diagram to go by, we have evolved the sketch. It may readily be seen that very little material will be required for the peasant bodice made with shoulder straps, corded at a high waist line and finished with a narrow frill. The open front edges are caught together with little bows, or may be laced in true peasant style. Since the requirements include semievening purposes, the guimpe is long-sleeved, though their length, of course, is optional. It is made of white chiffon softly surpliced over the bust and finished around the neck with a ruffle of itself. The sleeves are shirred at the wrists and trimmed with ruffles. The gathered skirt is cut out in deep scallops at the foot and finished with taffeta, covered cording or narrow, flat bias folds. The point between scallops is trimmed with a rose and the spaces below are filled in with lace gathered at the top. I hope the design will prove satisfactory. It is one that will work out prettily in almost any of the delicate evening shades. FOR THE SEPARATE WAIST Many Materials, in All Designs and Colors, Are Sanctioned by Dame Fashion. Separate waists are made of cotton, silk, net, chiffon, crepe, lace and embroidery. Among the washables are handkerchief linens in white, light and dark blue, sand, gray, pink, lavender, etc., plain and striped. Heavy linens in white, light or navy blue, trimmed with a tailored finish, are varied by the use of cotton braid and buttons. There are fancy shirtings, such as men wear; plain, striped and embroidered voile, white and fancy madras, corded cottonts in plain and fancy effects, ripple and crepe effects in cotton, finely corded pique and many other cotton novelties. Hairline stripes of a color are smart. In these cottons are also sheer crepes, lawns, batiste, etc. Volle, lawn, batiste, crepe and nainsook with tiny allover designs make charming waists. Embroidered edgings of volle and crepe are easily applied to fabrics of the same nature. Such fabrics as crepe de chine and Georgette crepe are made up alone or combined with lace or net. Not only white, but also sand, putty, battleship gray, Copenhagen and chestnut are popular. Taffeta, messaline, faille, satin, printed foulard, checks, a few plaids, stripes of all descriptions, fine cord effects and regular silk shirtings are all used in tailored and dressy waists. SPRINGTIME DISHES with a garnish of red pepper, cut in strips. Rub the salad bowl with the cut side of a clove of garlic, arrange the crisp leaves of lettuce, well dried in it. If there were no such thing as display in the world we might get on a great deal better than we do, and might be infinitely more agreeable company than we are. TOOTHSOME DISHES For the vegetarian here are some good dishes to add to the list: Carrots With Peas. Cut carrots in three-inch slices and cook until tender. Scoop out the center, leaving a well-shaped receptacle to hold the seasoned peas. Use these as a garnish around any loaf or around pecan loaf. J Pecan Loaf. — Take Pea Roast.—Take three cupfuls of dry bread that has been rolled and put through a sieve. Drain a can of peas and rinse well with cold water. Put in a saucepan and cover with cold water; bring to the boiling point and boil three minutes. Drain and force through a sieve (there should be a half cupful of pulp). Mix the crumbs and pulp, add a fourth of a cupful of chopped walnut meats, one egg slightly beaten, one tablespoonful of sugar, salt, pepper, a fourth of a cupful of melted butter and three-fourths of a cupful of milk. When well blended turn into a paraffin lined bread pan, cover with buttered paper and bake forty minutes in a slow oven. Serve with tomato sauce if so desired. Nellie Maxwell THE TULSA STAR Julia Bottomley's Latest Ideas on International Fashions. Black and white, Russian violet, Russian green, seal, French and delft blues are also important waist colors. Chiffon and net both need the extra stiffness to be found in combining lace with net and silk, and lace or net with chiffon. These are in white, flesh, sand, putty, Belgian and Copenhagen blues, seal and black, chiefly. Sand-color net trimmed with a little fine jet is very smart. Printed chiffons are attractive. White lace is used over flesh-colored linings, black over black, flesh and white. Three-fourths of the waists have high collars and long sleeves, the high collars usually meaning those high at the back and cut down much or little in front. BEST WAY TO REDUCE FLESH Safety Must Be Considered, as Well as Most Efficient Way of Removing Adipose Tissue. The quickest and safest way to reduce flesh is to adopt a well-balanced diet that excludes all carbonaceous foods. Starch, sugar, oil and alcohol should be put aside by a tat person. To set an appetizing table, yet omit these, is not so difficult as may appear, for there remain all kinds of meat, except pork, all game, all sea food, all fruit except bananas, a majority of salads and green vegetables—in fact all vegetables except potatoes, corn, dried beans and lentils. From this list it is easy to compose a variety of tempting menus. Eggs also may be eaten in moderation, and the amount of oil used in salad dressing is not enough to be fattening. Sirup, gravy, milk, bread, potatoes, cereals, sweets and alcohol beverages are to be avoided. Bar these rigorously from the table and within a month you will begin to lose flesh. It is a simple matter to eliminate from your diet all foods that are excessively fat-producing. It is a treatment that cannot fail to reduce your flesh if you adhere to it, and if you compose your menus with care and intelligence you will be surprised to note how little you will miss these forbidden foods after a brief time. When you have attained the weight you desire it is not necessary to follow the diet quite so closely. Nevertheless you should be on your guard against fat-producing foods, for if it is your tendency to be corpulent all such food will be fatal to your nigure CHIC EVENING GOWN POLYWOOD & POLYWOOD A Pretty Pink Satin, Sublime Gold Lace Evening Gown. This Sleeve- less Model With Pink Ostrich, Black Tulle Streamers at the Neck, With Pink Roses on the Skirt, Has Attracted Wide Attention. Erect Figure Now Stylish. The fashionable girl of 1915 appears on the scene with a beautiful, erect figure, a free swing to her walk and with clothing of sufficient width to permit her to be graceful in her carriage. The stooped shoulders, with head bent forward and slouching gait once assumed by those who wanted to attain the extreme in styles has entirely passed and, like an old-fashioned dress of several seasons ago, will be discarded by those who care enough for fashion to change their manner of carrying themselves. Fringe as a Finish. Fringe of many sorts is still used. Some of the newest skirts show an edging of fringe at the bottom. There is a silk-corded fringe that is often used with faille. And there is a fringe made of strands of beads that is used a good deal on evening frocks. MAKES YOU SICK! BER AND BOWELS MY WAY son's Liver Tone" When Bilious, Consti- chy—Don't Lose a Day's Work.

Steady use of either tea or coffee often produces alarming symptoms, as the poison (caffeine) contained in these beverages acts with more potency in some persons than in others. "I was never a coffee drinker," writes an Ill. woman, "but a tea drinker. I was very nervous, had frequent spells of sick headache and heart trouble, and was subject at times to severe attacks of billious colic. "No end of sleepless nights—would have spells at night when my right side would get numb and tingle like a thousand needles were pricking my flesh. At times I could hardly put my tongue out of my mouth and my right eye and ear were affected. "The doctors told me to quit using tea, but I thought I could not live without it—that it was my only stay. I had been a tea drinker for twenty-five years; was under the doctor's care for fifteen. "About six months ago, I finally quit tea and commenced to drink Postum. "I have never had one spell of sick-headaches since and only one light attack of billious colic.

THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES held that Leo Frank has been give na fair trial and must hang for the murder of the little Fagan girl. Public opinion counted very little in this remarkable case. It is safe to say that two-thirds of the press of the country, together with countless organizations, lent their voice and support to the freeing of this condemned man, but justice was deaf as well as blind, and Frank having been decreed guilty by a jury of his countrymen should prepare to meet his late stoically. His counsel took advantage of every technicality known in legal procedure and having valy endeavored to cast aspersions upon the testimony of the colored witnesses in the case, it is fair to assume that Frank was really guilty. This is the first notable case in the history of the South where the black man has not been made the goat of public opinion backed up by the law. There was no stone left unturned, however, to build up a conspiracy against the colored man, even the Burns detective agency was used to put the burden of guilt upon the other fellow. Such dastardly measures became a boomerang at the bar of justice and as the case was carried from court to court the original decision was upheld. It is to be hoped this instance will be epoch making in the history of the South as well as in the entire republic. Justice still remains the blind eved goddess.—Chicago Rexander.

DAREDEVIL FOR MOVIES Capitalized His Neck to "Make Good" and Then Started Film Company of His Own—Parents Give Blessing. New York.—Louis G. McPhee, Yale athlete, who became a daredevil for the movies in order to "make good" for the girl he loved, has retired from his perilous occupation and is now manager of a moving picture concern with headquarters in New York city. Incidentally he has won the approval of the McCann family to a marriage he contracted with Miss Dolores Grace McCann before he started on his career as a high diver. McPhee's romance began three years ago in Pleasantville, N. Y. where he was spending the summer months. One day he saw approaching a runaway team. In the carriage he saw a frightened young woman. McPhee leaped from his automobile, stopped the team and from that time he and Miss McCann were close friends. Three months later they were married, but Father McCann declared the union would never be approved until McPhee had "made good." Neck His Principal Asset. McPhee realized that he could not "make good" in a day and looked over his stock in trade. He recalled that while in Yale he won many prizes as a high diver. So he capitalized his neck and offered himself as a daredevil for the movies. McPhee's first feat was a leap from High bridge, New York city, into the icy waters of the Harlem river, a distance of 138 feet. McPhee A Leaped Into the River a Second Time. made the leap, but broke three ribs, dislocated a jaw and suffered a hemorrhage of the throat. Despite his in juries he struggled to shore and received $500 for the trick, which required 1 minute and 48 seconds. His parents-in-law lived in constant dread least McPhee's desperate method of making good would make their daughter a widow. His next feat was to leap from an airplane. Leaped From Express and Cliff. McPhee's final achievement before the camera eclipsed all former efforts. In this film he climbed over telegraph wires to the cross arm of a pole. There he hung suspended until a passenger train passed under him. He dropped to the roof of a coach and then leaped into the river as the train was crossing a bridge. Detectives still pursued and McPhee, cornered at the top of a 100-foot cliff, leaped into the river a second time. This film settled the career of McPhee as a high diver. He'll jump no more, as his parents-in-law feel that any man who will take such risks to "make good" must love their daughter. QUIT JOBS AT WIVES' ORDER Spouses Accuse Two Workmen at Jail of Being "Honor Prisoners." Racine, Wis.—Two men employed at the court house quit their jobs because they did not wish to be classed as "honor roll" jail prisoners. The men had sought employment at the court house because they had been laid off at factories. Their wives, reading an account of the employment of "honor" prisoners at the court house, accused their husbands of being under detention by the sheriff. Unable to convince the women to the contrary, they were forced to resign.

Not long ago a brand new watchman was appointed as a night guard in the department of justice. He assumed his duties, filled with the importance of his responsibilities. In instructing him an official said: "Now, if anything unexpected happens during the night just use your own judgment in dealing with the matter." That night, as the watchman sat at the door, there came a wire from some official in California asking the department whether there was any law against such a thing. Now this was the time, so thought the watchman, to "act on your own judgment." He gave the boy a reply which read: "I don't know of any," and the telegram was sent. A high official learned of the matter and placed it before the attorney general. That officer smiled at the answer given and remarked: "Well, he's right about it—I don't know any law against it, either."—Washington Star.

OLDEST PIECE OF WRITING Sumerian Tablet in University of Pennsylvania Records Deeds of Babylonians. A number of ancient Sumerian tablets, recording the deeds of the Babylonians thousands of years ago, have been deciphered by George A. Barton at the University of Pennsylvania museum. One of these tablets, which tells how a farmer rid his field of locusts and caterpillars, is dated 4,000 B. C. and is the oldest piece of writing extant, according to an announcement made by officials of the museum. The farmer, Doctor Barton's translation says, called in a necromancer, who "broke a jar, cut open a sacrifice, a word of cursing he repeated, and the locusts and caterpillars fled." For this service he received a tall palm tree. That a canal was constructed in Babylonia nearly 5,000 years ago is shown by another tablet dated "This year the Divine Naram-Sin opened the mouth of the canal Erin at Nippur." Naram-Sin was a king in Babylonia and is supposed to have financed the construction of the waterway which gave Nippur transportation facilities with the rest of the world. A third tablet, dated 3200 B. C., records the transfer of land and a quantity of grain for bronze money. Gold and silver were known at that time, but were not used as currency. No great purpose has ever been achieved by any individual until his spirit has first gone out into some wilderness solitude and there discovered its native strength, its absolute invincibility when it relies upon no help but that of God. This is the experience of all the greatest among men. They go apart from their fellows for awhile, like Moses, into the land of Midian, or like our Lord himself into the wilderness, or like St. Paul into the Arabian desert, and there, in solitary communion with God, from that highest of all companionships, they drink in strength to fit them for the work of our lives. Alone with God, they see visions which fill their souls, visions which never fade afterward even in the light of common day, but which serve as beacon lights to guide them through storm and darkness, till the purpose of their lives is fulfilled.—Edwin H. Eland. The women of a town down the state recently organized a literary club, and for a while everything was lovely.

There are so many things to admire in the game that it is impossible to describe them. Outdoor exercise is one of Nature's best aids in promoting health and strength and keeping the blood rich and pure; but, perhaps you are one of the many who are denied that privilege. You lead a sedentary life which always has a tendency to make the liver lazy, the bowels clogged and digestion poor. Oftentimes you are nervous, sleepless, have no appetite and feel run down. Under these conditions you will greatly appreciate the assistance to be derived from a trial of Hostetler's Stomach Bitters. It helps Nature by toning and strengthening the Stomach, Liver and Bowels, and with these organs in a normal condition your system is well fortified against an attack of Cramps, Constipation, Pillenousness or Malaria, Fever or Ague. Always take good care of your health and you will be well repaid, while carelessness only brings suffering and distress.

The curtain was rung up for the third time, and Margaret Blake stepped forward and responded to the prolonged acclamation of her admiring audience. She spoke with a graceful modesty that charmed, then gathered her floral tributes. Was it the intense excitement or the blinding array of footlights that dazzled and confused her? Quietly reposing on a lower box rail by the proscenium she saw a magnificent bunch of violets—her favorite flower—ostensibly placed there for her by a sweet-faced, dark-haired lady behind them. With applause still ringing in her ears, Miss Blake leaned forward and took the lovely bouquet, acknowledging the gift by a pretty bow. The sweet-faced, dark-haired lady reached after her with a strange and sudden haste. "Give me back my hat," she cried, hysterically. His Question.

FOOD JAPS TRYING TO GOBBLE UP CHINA NEW DRAFT OF JAPANESE DE MANDS STRONGER THAN THE ORIGINAL. WOULD CONTROL GOVERNMENT Chinese Foreign Minister Said By The Japanese To Have Agreed To The New Pro Pekin.-With the new draft of the Japanese demands on China now in the hands of Chinese Foreign Minister, Lu Cheng Hsian, interest is aroused in the nature of the modification which Japan has made in the original document. President Yuan Shi Kai and his advisers have carefully examined the demands as amended, but no decision has been reached. Group one of the original demands relating to Shantung province has not been altered from the form to which the Chinese government has already agreed. The group dealing with south Manchuria, to six articles of which China has also agreed, remains unchanged. The second article of group 3, bearing on the property rights and interests of the Henyehping Company is eliminated, but the first article of that group is made stronger from the Japanese point by requiring that China shall promptly compel the share-holders of the Henyehping Company to accept the formation of a joint company, which shall include the two nations. The Japanese had already accepted the Chinese proposal regarding group four, which provides that the Chinese government shall not cede or lease to any third power any island, port or harbor along the coast. Public Declaration, But No Promise. The Chinese government's proposal was that while it was willing to make a public declaration China should never cede or lease a port, harbor or island to another power, it would decline so to pledge itself to Japan. The new draft entirely reconstructs group five in a manner which the Chinese representatives declare is more menacing, because they say the amendments are based on statements which Lu Cheng Hsiang made in the conferences with the Japanese minister, Ekii Hioki and M. Obata and which, it is alleged the Japanese are attempting to designate as pledges from China. It is further declared that the Chinese foreign minister permitted himself to be drawn into a discussion of these demands, which Yuan Shi Kai had instructed him to refuse to discuss. Group five comprises seven articles relating to the employment by the Chinese government of Japanese as advisers in political, financial and military affairs; supervision of the Chinese police; the right of Japanese ownership of land for the building of hospitals, churches and schools, the purchase of munitions of war from Japan, various railway and mining rights as well as the right of the Japanese to propagate Buddhism in China. Japanese Advisers In Crisis. With reference to article one of group five, Japan requires a note from China declaring that when any important crisis arises China shall ask Japan to appoint "many Japanese advisers." This peculiar wording is the undertaking to which the Japanese state, Lu Cheng Hsiang committed himself. In article two of group five, Japan now requires the right either to rent or lease lands. The Chinese express themselves as being far from satisfied with this because this article, which is a separate clause from that relating to Buddhism would have the effect of opening the entire country to the Japanese individually, as well as under religious societies. Article three of group five, relating to the police administration has been withdrawn, but Japan now requires the appointment of police advisers and also joint Chino-Japanese tribunals for land disputes in Manchuria besides extra territoriality, to which the Japanese, like other foreigners, are everywhere privileged. The requirement of article four of this group, is also based on a commitment into which Lu Cheng Hsiang is said to have allowed himself to be drawn, namely that China shall send a delegation of military men to Japan to adopt a procedure for the purchase of arms and the conduct of China's arsenals. The new draft of article 5 says that China must grant to Japan the right to build the railways demanded, subject to Japan reaching an arrangement with an unnamed power (Great Britain) or she must grant Japan these concessions unless it can be shown that they already been granted to another power. The railways in question are lines connecting Wu Chang with Kiu Kiang and Nan Chang, between Wu Chang and Hang Chow and between Nan Chang and Chiao Chau. No Concessions in Fukien. Article 6 of group 5 as amended says that China must give Japan a pledge that no foreign power shall receive a concession and that no foreign capital shall be employed in the province of Fukien without Japan's consent. Regarding Buddhism as set forth in article 7, China must recognize Japan's right to discuss this at a future date. Japan has already secured concessions for the construction of four railways in Mongolia. visions. by CLINEDINST DR.

BURMAN WINS AT OKLAHOMA CITY TAKES FIRST MONEY IN SOUTH- WEST SWEEPSTAKES Dave Lewis is Second, Johnny Rainey Third and Eddie Hearne Fourth— Attendance About 14,000 Oklahoma City.—Bob Burman, driving a French Peugeot, won the $5,000 500-mile Southwest Sweepstakes automobile race, contested over the Oklahoma City course, after a spectacular motor duel for thirty lays with Dave Lewis of the Stutz team who finished second. Johnny Raimey and Eddie Hearne, both driving Case cars, won third and fourth money. The winner averaged 67.8 miles an hour for the entire distance being 2 hours, 56 minutes and 3-5 of one second. Lewis came in 1 minute, 28-3 5 seconds later. Raimey was two laps, Hearne three, behind the two leaders at the finish. Burman drove a wonderful race, gradually closing in on Lewis after the thirtieth lap, gaining several seconds on each by taking the turns with great daring. He had lost almost an entire lap, 2.404 miles, when forced to change a tire early in the race, but took the lead from Lewis on the seventieth lap, and his advantage was increased slightly three laps later when Lewis ran off the course at one of the turns, losing twenty seconds. Victory for Burman was made practically certain when Lewis eased into the pits after the seventy-seventh lap, with just six more to go, for a new tire. Only two slight accidents marred the event. Scott's Tulsa car jumped the course and crashed into a tree during the early part of the race, his mechanician being sightly injured. Earl Cooper, in a Stutz, later struck the inside bank and his car was disabled. Both drivers were forced from the race. Of the eleven cars starting just seven finished. Louis Dishbow piloted his Simplex into fifth place. Albert Striegel drove the Stafford in sixth and Barney Oldfield, "master driver of the world," in a Maxwell, brought up the rear. The Tulsa car, driven by Scott, had been put out on the first lap; Earl Cooper had driven his Stutz into a bank in the twenty-eighth; Billy Carlson, of the Maxwell team, had quit a few laps later because of engine trouble, and George Clark had been forced to retire with his Mercedes when the car caught fire. An immense crowd, estimated at 14,000, saw the race. Portions of the grandstand were packed, and the entire 2.404 mile course was lined with spectators. The $5,000 purse was officially divided by Referee Furlong and Burman will receive $2,500, the winner's share; Lewis will be awarded $1,250, Ralmey $750, and Hearne $500. RECOGNITION IS NOT CONSIDERED American Officials Declare Mexican Conditions Too Unsettled Washington. Recognition of any factions in Mexico, during the present uncertain state of affairs is not contemplated by the United States government, according to expressions by high officials. Secretary Bryan told inquirers that the subject of recognition had not reached the point of formal consideration. Persons close to the White House said President Wilson intended to study the question very carefully before committing the American government to a recognition of any of the elements in the field and that he did not propose to take any action until the military situation in Mexico City clarified itself.

LESSON FOR MAY 9 FRIENDSHIP OF DAVID AND JON ATHAN. LESSON TEXT I- Samuel 20:32-42. GOLDEN TEXT-I a friend loveth at all times.—Prov. 17:17. There is perhaps no narrative in all history or literature which so perfectly illustrates the conditions of friendship as this which is before us. Jonathan was every inch a man; affectionate, sweet and tender, deeply pious and withal loyal to both duty and friends. His rights, as the king's son, he gladly set aside for David, whom he "loved as his own" soul" (ch. 18:3; 20:17). Jonathan is a great type of the surrendered life (ch. 23:17). 1. David's Danger, vv. 32-35. Three times in the previous chapter (vv. 5, 14, 30) we read that David "behaved himself wisely." "Saul eyed David" (v. 19) and his jealous anger grew as he gave vent to his hate. Jonathan's desires for David drew the anger of Saul (20:30), but it only put him more upon his guard and made him more determined, if possible, to save both David and Saul. Following David's escape (18:18) he consulted Jonathan regarding his safety (20:1-10). They renewed their covenant and swore fealty to each other and to those of their households (vv. 11-17). It is a standing rebuke that Christians treat so lightly their covenants with the church and with the world. David was safe at Naioth (19:18-24), for each company sent after him, and Saul himself, were hindered by the Spirit of Jehavah from carrying out Saul's foul designs. This seemed for the moment to humble Saul (20:1; Ps. 97:1). Jonathan, though great and mighty, was not strong enough to deliver his friend from the renewed wrath of his father. "Vain is the help of man." "Our help is in the Lord." Jonathan showed his true friendship in that he told the exact state of affairs to David (v. 10). When Saul became convinced that Jonathan was taking David's part, he tried to kill Jonathan and reviled the mother who bore him (v. 30). In his loss of self-control Saul allowed David to escape. Even so, sin overshoots its mark. The contrast is a dark one to contemplate. II. David Delivered, vv. 35-42, Jonathan did not revile again (v. 34) when insulted and assailed by his father, and his manifestation of just anger (for his mother was reviled) was quite different from that of his father. Any attempt to reconcile Saul to David (v. 34) was a useless exposure to danger and for Jonathan to be seen with his friend would imperil his own life. This explains the expedient of shooting arrows in the field. Jonathan shot his arrows "beyond," i. e., David must go "beyond" and out of the reach of Saul. David trusted Jonathan's fidelity (v. 23) when the test came, though Jonathan might have good reason for playing him false in order to promote his own interests. Dismissing the boy, Jonathan drew near to David's hiding place, to the south of the stone Ezel (v. 41 R. V.), where a most touching parting took place between these two friends. First of all David bowed ceremoniously three times, touching his head to the ground, perhaps to show his unshaken loyalty to Jonathan as the king's son. This was but for a moment; as men of the East and friends, they rushed to each other's arms and wept for a long time. Those were the manly tears of two brave men not afraid to show their love and emotions. It has been suggested that Jonathan should have accompanied David as God's elect (Heb. 13:13), but we feel that duty bade him to remain by the side of his sin-tricken father. The Lessons of the Lesson. True friendship costs. God's love gave to the world his Son. Jonathan's friendship for David was costly, but was given gladly, not grudgingly. True friendship neither forgets duty nor neglects its desire towards the object of its love. It is not governed emotionally, yet it disregards all other ties, if they are wrong. Not even a father or mother should lead us to wrong a friend. When David came into power he remembered the everlasting covenant made with Jonathan (II Sam. 9:3). Our "Son of David" has made a similar covenant with us (Acts 16:31; 2:39). True friendship is of slow growth, but is not easily killed, chilled by reverses, nor frozen by adversity (Prov. 18:24). True friendship is unselfish. It gives and does not seek. True friendship is founded upon religion and the best friend, the ideal friend, is Jesus Christ. That friendship which is based upon oaths, ritual and dues, is not abiding, nor true friendship, for it excludes all who fail to possess the same password or a sufficient amount of money. That friendship which is based upon expediency, or a quid pro quo, is by no means true friendship; it is as ephemeral as the morning mist and as frail as a chain of sand. The friendship which has as its common center God's best boon, the friendship of his Son, will, if it is true and genuine, abide forever. Today will be observed by many schools as "Mother's day." SANTA FE BUYS OIL REGION ROADS RAILROAD TAKES OVER OIL BELT TRACTION SYSTEMS. CONTROLS OIL FIELD TRAFFIC Aaron Drumright Offers Cash Bonus of $25,000 For the First Road That Builds Into Drum- Oklahoma City—Purchase of the Off Belt Terminal and the Cushing Traction Company by the Santa Fe Railroad Company has been consummated. Officials of both roads met here in the offices of attorneys for the Santa Fe. Following the conference it was announced that an agreement had been reached. The purchase of the road was the culmination of several weeks' of dickering for the oil field roads by the Santa Fe. It is alleged that some time ago it attempted to lease these lines to be operated in connection with its own, but that such offers were refused. R. D. Long, vice president and treasurer of the oil field roads, stated that $600,000 was refused by his lines about a week ago. The Oil Belt and Cushing owners were holding out for $800,000. Those present at the final meeting were Frank Brown, Independence, Kan., president; Harry Jones, secretary, for the Cushing & Oil Belt, and C. F. W. Felt, system engineer, Woodberry Howe, J. R. Cottingham, attorney, and Mr. Burnett, for the Santa Fe. They met in Cottingham's office in the Colcord building. Coincident to the sale Aaron Drumright, of the town of Drumright, was on the scene with a cash bonus of $27,000 for the company which will extend the oil field roads into that city. According to Mr. Long, the history of city building is wrapped up in Mr. Drumright's offer. He declares that several weeks ago two men located the site of another town, Pemeta, three miles north of Drumright and that the railroad has been run into that town, and is now unloading from 50 to 60 cars of freight there daily. This has given the citizens of Drumright a fright, he declares, and they have made up a cash collateral that the road be run into Drumright also. Extension of the road into Drumright would mean an extension of the present lines about two and one-half miles, it is stated. The sale of the two oil district roads has caused a flurry in railroad circles. It would mean, it is explained, that since the Santa Fe purchased the roads it would have a complete corner on the oil district commerce, entirely shutting out the Katy and Frisco. The Cushing Traction Company and the Oil Belt Terminal lines consist of about twenty miles of track already laid, and ample equipment, with right-of-way and plans to construct an additional ten miles of tracks. The roads were opened to commerce about six weeks ago. The lines cover the oil districts between Cushing and Jennings. JAPS PREPARE NEW ULTIMATUM About Ready to Make Final Demands On China. Tokio.—The Jiji Shimpo, a Japanese newspaper of good standing issued an extra edition, in which it made the statement that Japan would send an ultimatum to China, the Chinese reply to the latest Japanese communication regarding the demands of the Tokio government being considered unsatisfactory. The Japanese cabinet was in session for six hours. A telegram was sent to M. Hikki, the Japanese minister at Pekin. The thara news agency said the emperor might issue an important order in a few days. The situation has aroused intense interest here. Some of the newspapers reiterate the assertion of the Jiji Shimpo that the government is dissatisfied with China's reply and add that it therefore is obliged to be prepared for the final step. These newspapers say that in pursuance with a previously settled policy they expect the government to announce its decision in a few days unless China changes her attitude. There was a lengthy conference Monday by the chiefs of the war department. The Japanese version of article 1, group 5 of the Japanese demands which China rejected is that Japan requested in case of necessity arising for China to employ advisers that China would appoint "some" Japanese advisers. This clause, as amended, according to Pekin, provided for the appointment of "many" Japanese advisers. Labor Leader Sentenced. Trinidad, Col.—John R. Lawson, labor leader, was condemned to spend the remainder of his life at hard labor in the Colorado penitentiary. He was found guilty of first degree murder in connection with the death of John Nimmo, a deputy sheriff, killed in a strike battle October 25, 1913. Under the Colorado statute making it the duty of the jury to fix the penalty at death or life imprisonment, the jury in the district court fixed the milder punishment. THE TULSA STAR AN INDIANA MAN TELLS OF WESTERN CANADA He Is Perfectly Satisfied, and Tells of His Neighbors Who Have Done Well. Walter Harris, formerly lived near Julietta in Warren township, Indiana. He now lives at Hussar, Alberta. In writing to his home paper in Indiana, he says that the failure is the man who always blames the country. He fails to see his own mistakes, has missed his calling and is not fitted for farming. The two seasons just past have been entirely different. In 1913 plenty of rain came in June and a good crop followed, but the fall was dry and but little snow in the winter followed by a very dry summer, and a short crop. Only those that had farmed their land properly were able to meet expenses. For example, last year the Crowfoot Farming Company, south of here, threshed from 1,250 acres 38,000 bushels of wheat. One-half section made 26 bushels, the poorest of all. This year on 1,350 acres they threshed nearly 26,000 bushels. Last year's crop sold at 75 cents from their own elevator. What they have sold of this year's crop brought $1.00 at threshing time. Eight thousand bushels unsold would bring now around $1.25. The manager and part owner was raised in Ohio and farmed in Washington several years. He and his wife spent last winter in Ohio. She told me a few days ago that the climate here was much better than Ohio. A man by the name of George Clark threshed 75 bushels of oats, 45 bushels of barley and 35 bushels of wheat to the acre. He had 15,000 bushels of old oats as well as wheat and barley in his granaries that have almost doubled in price. He came from Washington, where he sold a large body of land around $200 that he bought around $3,00 per acre. He then refers to a failure. A large company in the eastern states, owning a large farm near Hussar pays its manager $3,000 a year. The farm has not been a success. Probably the manager's fault. Mr. Harris says conditions are not as good as could be wished for, but on the ending of the war good crops, with war prices, will certainly change conditions, and it seems to me that the one who owns land that will raise 100 bushels of oats, 75 bushels of barley or 40 bushels of wheat is the one who "laughs last." The above yields may seem exaggerations to many, and are far above the average, but you should remember that the man who falls is counted in to make the average, and there are instances on record here that would far exceed the above figures. Nor is grain the only profitable thing that can be raised here. There are many fine horse ranches, some of them stocked with cayuses and bred to thoroughbreds, and others imported from the old countries. They run on the range nearly all the year. The owners put up wild hay to feed them if the snow should get too deep for them to get the dead grass. There are several hundred in sight of here most of the time. There are several cattle ranches north of here that have from 500 to 7,000 head of cattle. One man I know sold $45,000 worth of fat cattle this fall. He winters his cattle on farms where they have lots of straw and water, paying 75 cents a month per head, or if there is enough straw to winter 400 or 500 head they buy the straw and water and have a man to look after the cattle.—Advertisement. Always in the Making. In one of George Macdonald's books occurs this fragment of conversation: "I wonder why God made me," said Mrs. Faber, bitterly. "I'm sure I don't know what was the use of making me." "Perhaps not much yet," replied Dovothy; "but then he hasn't done with you yet. He is making you now, and you don't like it." It would give us more patience with ourselves if we always remembered this. We would not get so discouraged with our infirmities, imperfections and failures if we always kept in mind the fact that we are not yet made, that we are only in process of being made, that God is not yet through making us. . . —Rev. J. R. Miller, D.D. Doubtful Assurances. "Do you think they approved of my Easter sermon?" asked one of our well-known ministers. "Yes, I think so," replied his wife; "they were all nodding."

Springfield, Mass — When Jarry Wood, aged eighty-two, died in his lonely cabin on Teneriffe mountain in East Brookfield, a few days ago the story of a strange enmity was told to the village. For 42 years Jaris and his brother John worked side by side without speaking, and when John lay on his death bed neither of the brothers would consent to a reconciliation The estrangement of the two brothers forms a love story that surpasses the fondest plots of the novelist.
