A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING Official Organ of The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, And The Knights And Ladies of Harmony of The World, Oklahoma Jurisdiction National Baptist Convention Ends In A Big Riot! Vol. 3, No 42 A Fine Example For Christians A Fine Example For Christians CHICAGO, Sept. 8. —Tumultuous scenes marked the thirty-fifth annual convention of the Negro Baptists today and only the presence of policemen prevented innumerable fist fights. Arguments over a proposed new charter were followed by a struggle for possession of a megaphone, which, but for the police, might have developed into a free fight. Trouble began shortly after the convention had been called to order in the First Regiment armory by Dr. E. C. Morris of Helena, Ark., the president. As a result Morris and the other administration officers left the convention and opened a meeting at Olvet Baptist church. In the afternoon the bolting faction returned to the armory and a struggle soon developed over a megaphone which one of the delegates used to make himself heard. Morris secured it and 'drowned out the vices of the faction' which remained in charge of the convention after the bolt, which was headed by Rev. E. P. Jones of Mississippi. A wild scramble for the megaphone gave the police a great deal of trouble before the billigers were subdued. CHICAGO, Sept. 9. —A police guard and the serving of an injunction followed by scenes of wild disorder were for developments at today's session of the Negro National Baptist convention. The injunction was served on E. C. Morris, Helena, Ark., president of the convention. It restrains him from speaking at the convention or taking any other active part in the proceedings. The trouble begin at the first session yesterday. Morris ruled out of order a motion to consider a new charter for the organization. An appeal from the ruling carried and Morris and his adherents left the hall and held a separate meeting at a nearby church. Today he returned and had been addressing the delegates for half an hour when the restraining order was served it was obtained by E. P. Jones, R. H. Boyd and C. J. Eoyd. Jones was the proper person to hold a meeting at Morris left the meeting. C. J. Boyd is manager of the publication house of the convention at Cincinnati. The meeting grew more disorderly when Jones took the gavel. Delegates all over the hall were shouting: "Put Jones out! We want Morris!" Ten Policemen Interfered. Twenty hundred of Morris' friends followed. Most of the remaining delegates left their chairs and many of them surged toward the speaker's platform. Jones was pounding for order in vain. Ten policemen under a litutenant appeared and mingled with the crowd. Someone seized Jones by his coat tails and pulled him backwards. He fell to his knees, but was not hurt. Finally he abandoned his attempt to preside and mingled with the crowd in front. Cries of "Oh, Lord Help Us!!" could be heard above the din. Suddenly Jones pointed at a delegate and shouted: "Arrest that man. He threatened my life." The man indicated eluded the grasp of the policeman nearest him and escaped, but a number of others were ejected. T. Walker of Augusta, Ga. next took the platform and tried to quiet the delegates. NEGRO FAIR IS DRAWING WELL. Mercantile and Farm Exhibits are Good and Racing Attracts Much Attention. MUSK JGEE, OKOLA, Sept. 9 A large crowd attended the Independent Negro State Fair today, and the racing and other track events were above anything which the colored race has ever put on in Muskogee. The fair was formally opened Monday by Mayor Miller and will continue throughout the week. One division of the fair which attracted as much, if not more than the racing, was the fine exhibits both in the agricultural department and the women's fancywork department. Some of the best corn, wheat and other products ever raised in this part of the country were on display, having been grown by Negroes near Muskogee and other towns. The women's department contained much fine fancy work, crochet, embroidery, tatting, etc. as well as a number of jars of AMERICAN RANCHERS KILL MEXICAN BANDITS CORRECTED In an encounter between American ranchers at Las Noches, Tex., and Mexican bandits, who outnumbered the former four to one, the Americans took refuge in the ranch house shown above in the photograph and held the bandits at bay, killing five of them. Below, three of the cowboys ready to drag the dead Mexicans to the place of burial. FREMAN L. MARTIN IS APPOINTED JUSTICE preserves, jellies, fruits, etc., which were also noteworthy. Lawyer W. H. Twine a local colored lawyer introduced the Mayopt and was general Master of Ceremony at the opening of the fair. Mrs. H. A. Clark, supervisor of music in the colored schools is in charge of the art exhibits and much praise is due her for her uniting efforts to make this the leading feature of all the exhibits. Many pieces are on exhibit made more than one hundred years ago. CANDIDATES GET A SURPRISE See Meteor as They Are Crossing Swamp and Fear End of World is Coming. Hickory, Miss.—A few nights ago, as four gentlemen of this place were coming through Chunky swamp, a meteor threw a flash of light as bright as day into their faces and scared them almost as badly, perhaps, as did the mysterious light which surrounded Paul on the road to Damascus. Two of the men who, by the way, are candidates, were in a very dark and lonely part of the swamp, and thought they were about to be held up by highwaymen when the light flashed all around them. Then they saw the meteor falling through the trees not more than a hundred feet away, apparently. One of the men said he thought the world was coming to an end, while another said perhaps the Germans had his address. The gentlemen who saw the meteor were M. G. Scarborough, F. G. Semmes, W. M. Everett and N. M. Everett. Startling Information. San Angelo, Tex.—John Corbet, a trapper, is showing friends here a rock which he found along the North Coucho river. The rock has a cavity in it in which he found a frog. Mr. Corbet broke the rock and the frog hopped out. Undoubtedly it had been there many years. TULSA, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1915 TULSA FAR AHEAD OF OTHER TOWNS IN THE STATE IN GIVING REPRESENTATION TO COLORED CITIZENS. Another important recognition was given the colored citizens of Tulsa early this week when the County Commissioners appointed Freeman L. Martin Justice of the Peace making the third Justice allowed by law for Tulsa. Jake Dillard was appointed constable and the mills of the law in the East End are now busy grinding away. Already several cases have been tried and the new justice seems to be on to his job. One of the daily papers predicted after Martin's appointment that this new court of justice would be strictly a "Jim Crow" court dealing only with cases wherein colored people are concerned, but as Justice of the Peace for the City of Tulsa Justice Martin must hear any case brought before him whether the principals be white or black or both. The daily papers almost invariably try to make a burlesque affair out of any and everything headed or conducted by colored people, much to the disgust of all intelligent people, white as well as black. But as a matter of fact this court of justice will mean as much to the county and city as either of the two courts presided over by white justices. The office which justice Martin now fills by appointment will be an elective office hereafter. At the next election there will probably be at least two as pirants for the place. Tulsa now has three colored men on the city police force, two in the sheriff's office, one justice of the peace and a constable. In this respect as in all others Tulsa leads every town in the state. Page Will Stay In Langston OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 7.—Professor Innman E. Page, recently resigned from the presidency of the colored A. & M. college at Langton, and who for 17 years was at the head of that institution, announces that he will continue to reside in Langton, where he owns property. For twenty years before coming to Oklahoma, Professor Page held a position on the faculty of a colored school in Jeffer son City, Mo. The Langston school is considered one of the best of its kind in the country. MEN TEACHERS WEAR VEILS Korean Parents Who Sent Their Daughters to School Objected to Male Instructors. Washington.—Changes in Korean manners and etiquette are reaching even the girls' schools since the time of Japanese control. Desirous of broadening the minds of the women, a girls' high school was established at Seoul in 1908, when the girls admitted, 54 in number, were almost entirely daughters of noblemen. The teachers were women at first, but the number of students increased so that the necessity of efficient male instructors was felt and some were appointed. The community in general and the students' parents in particular were enraged, alleging that it was an unpardonable crime for men to enter the gate of a girls' school in broad daylight, even if they were teachers. The school authorities therefore made a concession that the male teachers should veil their faces when they passed the gate of the school. It is an absurd idea, but the students parents were satisfied with it. Some girls were attended by two or three chaperons or maids even at school. At first the young ladies could distinguish only such primary colors as red and blue, having no eye for delicate secondary colors and tints. But at present they are instructed in all liberal arts and their thoughts and ideas are naturally being broadened. The graduates want to make a new departure in the serious matter of marriage and are being generally allowed by their parents to have a free choice of a match. It is reported that these new women desire to marry physicians or lawyers in preference to young heirs of noblemen. Pay For The Star STATE-WIDE MASS MEETING WOULD HELP FARMER Called to Meet In This City Government Plans to Mortgage Forests' Future Income. Will Ask Congress to Advance Money for Public Works in Order to Stimulate Agricultural Development. Washington.—The secretary of agriculture's plan to anticipate future receipts from the national forests by securing an advance of money from congress for the construction of roads, trails, bridges, and other public works would stimulate agricultural development and would relieve many struggling communities from the present burdens of taxation, an article contributed by the chief of the forest service to the department of agriculture year book, just issued. This policy, says the article, would apply exclusively in those counties where there is a considerable area of national forest land so located that the forest resources cannot be marketed, although later they will yield a large revenue. It would fully meet the local difficulties arising from the fact that the national forests are not subject to taxation; would aid in the protection and development of the forest resources, and would remove the one barrier which in a few places prevents farmers from immediately enjoying the benefits of the national forests. Millions of acres of farm land are today undeveloped because of a lack of good roads. In opening any new country road building constitutes a hard problem for the settlers. At first, while the settler is struggling to erect his home and farm buildings and to clear his land, he usually cannot afford to pay high taxes or otherwise contribute toward the expense of road building. The national forests comprise the remotest and least settled regions of the country. In many cases farming in these localities is still pioneering, under as difficult conditions as have ever existed in the United States. One of the principal reasons for the failure to develop the large areas of excellent agricultural land which lie near the forests is the lack of roads. The government is trying to meet this problem in two ways, first, by public improvements being made on the national forests, and second by the direct contribution to the counties of a share in the forest receipts. Up to date the forest service has constructed on the forests more than 2,300 miles of roads, 21,000 miles of trails, nearly 600 bridges, and 18,000 miles of telephone lines. Every one of these improvements benefits setters and ranchers. In addition, there is appropriated annually for the use of the counties in which the national forests lie 25 per cent of the gross receipts from timber sales and other sources, to be used for road and school purposes. Some of the individual forests are bringing in over $100,000 a year and the business of the entire national forest system is increasing so that this direct contribution to community upbuilding is rapidly growing. In fact, already a total of nearly $800,000 is obtained from the forests every year for county, road and school purposes. LOST RELATIVE I am desirous to find my brother.

MASS MEETING Called to Meet In This City Leaders And Laymen of The Race Will Organize Here on The 18th For Mutual Protection A mass meeting of the colored people of Oklahoma has been called to meet in Tulsa Saturday, September 18 for the purpose of discussing the general needs of the race in this state and to form an organization to promote the general welfare of the race. This course was adopted at a meeting in Oklahoma City last week, at which were present some of the leading race men from every section of the state. A very large delegation is expected as at the present time there is a wave of unrest among the colored people of Oklahoma growing out of political and other conditions existing in the state. All the arrangements for the meeting is in the hands of a committee headed by editor Smitherman of the Tulsa Star. Every colored person who comes will be admitted to the mass meeting and will be at liberty to express themselves on the questions at issue. The meeting will be held in the Dreamland Theatre on N. Greenwood. NEGRO DOCTORS ARE MAKINK GOOD IN MUSKOGEE. MUSKOGEE, Okla., Sept. 8.—The colored people of this city believe in their own hospitals. There are more Negro physicians in Muskogee than in any other town or city in the state and they boast of the fact that when one of their patients must undergo a serious operation it is not necessary to take them to a white hospital. The Negroes of this city have three creditable hospitals and they are being supported generally by the colored physicians. The Morrison Sanitarium is the oldest institution of this kind in the city. This hospital is the result of much hard work and sacrifices on the part of Dr. E. D. Morrison who has labored faithfully to uplift his profession and his people in mase along with it. The next oldest hospital in the city is the Dorcas Hospital which is the result of a determined effort started a few years ago by the ladies of the Dorcas Club. The latest in this line is the Grace Henry Hospital recently started by Dr. W. H. Sims of this city. This is located on South 3rd Street almost in the business center of the city in a building owned by Dr. Sims, who is bent on educating the masses of the race in the wisdom of using their own doctors. Muskogee must be given the credit for being anywhere in the state in this respect. It is hoped that every other town in the state where Negroes live will follow the example. Chisum Charged With Libel Guthrie, Okla., Sept. 7.—Melvin J. Chisum, editor of the Tribune a paper published in Oklahoma City in the interest of the Negro race, was released on a $5,000 bond when arraigned here Monday on a criminal libel charge preferred by officials of Logan county. Chisum was arraigned before Justice of the Peace W. H. Hornaday and charged with having published libelous statements concerning I. E. Page's official conduct as president of the Negro A. & M. College at Langston, Okla. The article complained of alleged that vice was permitted to flourish in the school while Page was president. Page has resigned as president of the school. Tulsa Agents: G.

YOUR FRIENDS Phone 931 Tulsa, Oklahoma Phone 2112 THE TULSA STAR AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Exhibits of the handwork of 2,000,000 colored school children in all parts of America form part of the Lincoln jubilee exhibit in the Coliseum, Chicago. One of the leading exhibits is that of Wilberforce university, the oldest colored institution in America, and a school where students are taught everything from Latin to making plowshares. Another school which has a well-arranged exhibit is Howard university of Washington, D. C., while the instruction given to Negro students in medicine, pharmacy, dentistry and nursing is well displayed in the exhibit of Meharry Medical college of Nashville, Penn. Chicago is not neglected, for there are 15 boys and a like number of girls, about sixteen years old, who are demonstrating the training in the manual arts and domestic science courses which is given in the local public schools. The Chicago display is under the direction of A. J. Brinkman of the Hendricks school and Miss Ellen Gerty of the Mitchell school. Wilberforce university is near Xenia, O., and is in the direct line taken in the middle of the last century by slaves escaping from their southern bondage. The archives of the school are filled with thrilling incidents of the escape of slaves, some of whom had the temerity to stop and attempt to secure an education at Wilberforce. The university was founded by the Methodist Episcopal church, and Dr. Rust of the Freedmen's Aid was its first president. When the war broke out, communication with the South was cut off and the Methodist church wished to sell the property. A brewery offered to buy it, but the offer was turned down and finally it was bought by Dr. Daniel A. Paine, a prominent colored man, and control of the institution passed to the African M. E. church. Now the school is well established financially and annual sums are appropriated by the Ohio legislature for its support. Last year the appropriation was $55,000. There are now 500 students, ranging in age from fourteen years upward. The exhibit includes a plow which was made by a student, examples of cabinet work in the line of bookcases, chairs and other furniture. Howard university at Washington, D. C., is represented through a number of photographs showing the students in various phases of their collegiate work. Howard university was founded by Gen. O. O. Howard, who was supported by Harriett Beecher Stowe, Henry Ward Beecher, Stephen A. Douglas and other noted Americans of the Civil war days. The work of the Catholic church is shown through the exhibit of five orders of nuns, the Oblate Sisters of Providence, the Sisters of the Holy Family, the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, the Techney Sisters and the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. The first two sisterhoods named are exclusively for colored women. Much has been said of what Booker T. Washington is doing for the Negro. So much has been said that was good of his influence, and so much that was bad, that we have hesitated between the right and the wrong of it, writes Mrs. J. P. Reid in the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. We have sometimes come in contact through our domestic service with an element of arrogance, impudence and Of the total number of 7,317,922 Negroes ten years of age and over, enumerated in 1910, 5,192,535, or 71 percent, were reported as gainfully employed, the percentages for males and females being 87.4 and 54.7 respectively. The corresponding percentages for native whites were 77.9 and 19.2. Of the gainfully employed Negro males, 30.9 per cent—almost one-third—were farm laborers, and 25 per cent were farmers. The other leading occupation groups for Negro males, with the percentage of the total represented by each, were as follows: Laborers, building and hand trades, 5.2; laborers, saw and planning mills, 2.9; laborers, steam railroad, 2.7; porters, except in stores, 1.6; draymen, teamsters and expressmen, 1.6; coal mine operatives, 1.2; laborers, porters and helpers in stores, 1.2; waiters, 1.1; laborers, road and street building and repairing, 1.1; cooks, 1.0; deliverymen, stores, 1.0; carpenters, 1.0. For females, the leading capacities in which employed, with the percentage represented by each, were as follows: Farm laborers, 48.1; laudresses (not in laundry), 17.9; cooks, 10.2; In response to the advertisement of the United States navy department for 1,500,000 teak decking logs, a Manilla lumber firm has submitted an offer of 500,000 feet of yacal, a Philippine wood resembling teak, which is regarded as the equal of teak for construction purposes. This is the first time that such offers of Philippine woods have been made to the navy. It all depends. If you are not interested in golf it is a bore. If you are it a disease. ignorance who claim tutorage, even to have graduated at "Booker Washington's school." These have prejudiced us against an attempt to educate the Negro. Again, we have members of the race living among us giving good, intelligent, unpretentious service, striving quietly for right, and working capably in their line of industry. This is because we do not know, have not actually seen what is being done for the Negro, with Alabama as the working center. A week ago I left Birmingham for Tuskegee, reaching there the afternoon of the same day. Arriving at the depot at about two o'clock, I was driven through the quiet little town, with its huge shade trees and colonial homes, to the Tuskegee Normal institute. From the moment I entered the grounds I saw the result of a wonderful industry—a small city laid off in streets, with parks, blooming plants and graveled driveways. The center, the school plant and its workshops, with a circular border of well-kept homes, the homes of the teachers. At a distance a beautiful view of growing fields and meadows with stock grazing leisurely along. Amazed does not express my impression at first, and astonishment never ceased in my rounds. All of the route from Montgomery along the way I had noticed the same old plantation shanty, the wash pot and the half red dog, I could never have imagined such a transformation from existence to comfort, from idleness to work, could have taken place within so few miles of one to the other. The story reads like a fable. In 1881, 34 years ago, there was a political campaign on in Macon county. The Negro had a voice in the elections. As a reward for political service a promise was fulfilled to the leader of the Negro voters—"that a good teacher would be furnished to the Negroes of Tuskegee." Booker T. Washington was the fulfillment of that promise—a political product that has worked well. He had been educated at Hampton, Va., and came in response to the demand for a teacher—thus the Negro race came to be in possession of a leader whose influence has been felt over the world, and whose executive ability has built a city of his own out of the barren fields in Macon county. Land was purchased at $1 an acre; then that has price today. Gradually the school property has increased in acreage until it numbers 2,300 acres now, with 1,500 under cultivation. Already there are 38 handsome buildings of brick, dormitories, study halls, dining hall, a Carnegie library with a circulation of 4,000 books, a hospital recently built and equipped at the cost of $55,000; an electric plant at a cost of $300,000 has just been finished. These bear the names of the philanthropists who have made them possible. All of the labor has been done by the student body of the school—even the brick are made on the premises. This is a wonderful workshop from gateway to field. It would take one a week to see the industry that is under process of creation along all lines; and a book to enumerate all I thought and half that I saw. The entire work of shop and field is done by the student body, thus the expense of procuring the advantages offered by the school is very much reduced to the pupil. farmers, 3.9; dressmakers and seamstresses (not in factory), 1.9; school teachers, 1.1. Statistics compiled by the National Negro Business league show that in the fifteen years of the organization's existence the value of farm property in this country owned by Negroes has increased from $177,404,688 to $492,892,218. That is a truly remarkable record of race progress in thrift and in the agricultural pursuits which it has latterly been the fashion to encourage. The Negro at least is setting an excellent example in "getting back to the land."—New York World. A Springfield (Mo.) man took out homestead papers the other day on an 80-acre tract of land 100 miles from that city. Before applying at the land office for the papers he walked the entire distance and back in order to visit the property. When he got back he had just enough money to pay for the land and cover the necessary fees. You can never tell what a woman thinks by what she says. People generally speak well of Hobe Fisher, who is a hopeless inefficient and who has been a burden on his wife's people ever since he was married. But they bitterly attack Samuel Plympton, who is rich and influential and one of the fairest men in town. Medical men say that persons who attain their thirtieth year without suffering from any serious disease are likely—all things being equal—to live till they are at least seventy-eight years of age Home Undertaking Co.

GERMANY HAS CAPITULATED EMPIRE ACCEPTS WILSON'S DIC TUM ON SUBMARINE WARFARE. WRITTEN ASSURANCE GIVEN That There Will Be No Further Slaughter of Innocent Non-Combatant Traveling On Merchant Vessels. Washington—Stranded relations between the United States and Germany over submarine warfare apparently passed into history after Count Von Bernstoff, the German ambassador, informed Secretary Lansing in writing that prior to the sinking of the Arabic his government had decided that its submarines should sink no more liners without warning. Count Von Bernstoff's letter which revealed for the first time that Germany had prepared an answer to the Lusatania note which was about to be dispatched when the Arabic was destroyed follows : "My Dear Mr. Secretary: "With reference to our conversation of this morning, I beg to inform you that my instructions concerning our answer to your last Lusitania note contains the following passage. "Linners will not be sunk by our submarines without warning and without safety of the lives of concombatants provided that the linners do not try to escape or offer resistance." "Although I know you do not wish to discuss the Lusitania question until the Arabic incident has been definitely and satisfactorily settled. I desire to inform you of the above because this policy of my government was decided on before the Arabic incident occurred. "I have no objection to you making any use you wish of the above information. "I remain, my dear Mr. Lansing, "J. VON BERNSTORFF." Disavowal Expected. The next step, it is said authoritatively, will be a formal communication from the German government disavowing the destruction of the Arabic and tendering regret and separation for American lives lost in the disaster if the attack was made by a German submarine. Even if the submarine which torpedoed the liner subsequently was sunk by a British man of war as has been suggested both from Berlin and London, the Berlin foreign office is expected to send its disavowal as soon as reasonable time has passed with a report from its commander. Once the situation growing out of the Arabic incident has been disposed of, the response to the long unanswered American note on the Lusitania will be dispatched and if Germany's explanations and proposals in this case are accepted by the United States, both officials and diplomats here expect the way to be cleared for a complete understanding between the two governments on the subject of freedom of the seas. In German circles it is freely admitted that in Berlin a hope prevails that such an understanding would be followed by insistent action by the United States to stop interferences with neutral commerce with Great Britain and her allies which prevent Germany from importing food supplies for her civil population. The new American note to Great Britain making representation against the restrictions imposed by the orders in council, is almost ready to go forward to London. BERLIN TELLS OF GREAT LOSSES Germans Claim To Have Put 1,100,000 Russians Out of Business. Berlin.—An official review of the eastern campaign estimates that since May 2 the Russians have lost at least 300,000 men in killed or wounded, and 1,100,000 men captured by the Germans. The announcement follows: General army headquarters publishes a review of the results of offensive movements in Poland and Russia since May 2, beginning with the battle at Gorlice. Army headquarters estimates the strength of the Russian troops which were then directly engaged in that region was about 1,400,000. In the fighting since My 2, 1,100,000 have been captured and a minimum of 300,000 wounded or killed. "This is a very conservative estimate. The actual figures are surely much higher, because the Russians saved artillery by recklessly sacrificing their infantry. Thaw Asks Divorce. Pittsburgh—Harry K. Thaw filed suit asking a divorce from his wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, charging misconduct with John Francis of New York. The petition is very brief, covering less than one typewritten page. In it Thaw alleges that his wife was guilty of misconduct with Francis at 31 West Thirty-first street, New York, in December, 1909, and January, 1910, and at various other times and places. Francis is a newspaper reported. He says he has not seen Evelyn for three years. CEN. PASCUAL OROZCO KILLED FAMOUS MEXICAN FIGHTS HIS LAST BATTLE. And Is Killed In Fight With Pursue ing U. S. Troops.—Had Fought In the First Revolution. El Paso.—Gen. Pascual Orzoco, prominent military leader in Mexico's many revolutions of the last several years, was killed in a fight with a posse of American civilians, customs officers and troopers of the Thirteenth United States cavalry. The battle took place on Green river canyon of the High Lonesome mountains in Culberson county, Texas, following a raid on the Dick Love ranch. Orzoco and four companions were pursed from the Sierra Blanca country into the foothills. The last of the band died at dusk. Orzoco was one of the first to join Francisco Madero when the latter organized his revolt against President Diaz in 1910. Orzoco took the field in northern Chihuahua and in company with his bullion guards as a nucleus soon raised the most effective fighting force under Madero's banner. Facing tremendously superior forces he remained in the field throughout the Madero revolution Gen. Pascual Orzoco. even throughout the time when Madero himself was forced into hiding in the United States, escaping the pursuing federalals by his knowledge of the mountains and the mobility of his mounted men. Orozco was the senior general among those with Madero at the taking of Juarez and took command of the captured town. When Madero became president Orozco accompanied him to Mexico City but it was not long before a disagree ment arose over large sums of money Orozco alleged to be due him and his father, Colonel Orozco. Orozco abandoned his allegiance to Madero and again took to the hills taking the majority of his men who had followed him through the Madero campaigns with him. With the fall of Madero, Orozo joined the adherents of Huerta and became one of the most active military chiefs of the latter. He took part in scores of engagements and skirmishes in Chihuahua, Durango Coahuila and Nuevo Leon. With the arrival in the United States of General Huerta, Orozo joined his former chief and accompanied him on the journey to El Paso which culminated in the arrest of both at Newman, N. M., last June by United States officials. After being released on bond he again escaped a few nights later and it is supposed has been in the vicinity where he was killed since that time. GREAT SLAUGHTER OF BRITISH Berlin Claims 50,000 Died Last Week On Gallipoli Peninsula. Berkin.—The British employed 100,000 men in their attacks on Turkish positions on Gallipoli last week, according to a dispatch from Constantinople to the Frankfurter Zeitung and their losses were extremely heavy. The correspondent estimates that since August 6 the British losses have been more than fifty thousand. According to the correspondent the killed among the British troops in the fighting of August 28 and 29 included about six hundred officers. A cavalry division, he declared, was almost completely wiped out. The Germans continue their progress toward the Russian strongholds in the east. The progress toward the Villa railroad is being continued while the army of Prince Leopold and Field Marshal Von Mackensen both report that the Russians are being driven back along a wide front. In the Galacian operations recently resumed, the Germans have met with a check on the Stripa river where strong Russian forces counter attacked and, according to Berlin, "partially stopped" the Austro-German pursuit. More Troops To the Border. Washington.—Two regiments of infantry and one of cavalry were ordered from Galveston to reinforce American troops patrolling the Mexican border. Secretary Garrison announced that the war department was sending additional forces at the request of Major General Funston, commanding the border patrol. The secretary indicated the troop movement comprised merely a part of a general plan evolved by General Funston for strengthening his positions. THE TULSA STAR 20 LOST ON HESPERIAN TORPEDOED VESSEL FOUNDERS WHILE BEING TOWED TO QUEENSTOWN. 2 AMERICANS ON BOARD SAFE Some Doubt As To Whether Explosion Was Caused By a Mine Or Torpedo, But Survivors Favor Latter Theory Queenstown.—The Allan liner Hesperian sank within a few miles of Queenstown after Captain Main and a volunteer rescue crew of twenty-five had made a brave fight to bring the crippled ship into port. The sinking of the Hesperian in deep water probably will prevent an investigation to determine whether the disaster resulted from a submarine's torpedo or from a mine. Passengers and crew assert positively that the vessel was struck by a torpedo, but thus far no statement has been obtained from any one who saw a submarine or a torpedo. One first cabin passenger, six second cabin passengers and six third-class passengers on the liner Hesperian are unaccounted for. A woman's body has been identified as that of Miss Carberry, probably of New Foundland. Torpedoed Without Warning Captain Main of the Hesperian declared the vessel was torpeded and that no warning was given. Major Maitland, in charge of the ocean services of the Canadian Pacific, said the list of missing was likely to reach twelve passengers and perhaps one or two members of the crew. He added that all would have been saved but for an unfortunate mishap in launching one lifeboat in the darkness. As soon as Captain Main landed in Queenstown he proceeded to the admiralty office to make his report. There landed with him thirteen officers and twenty-five men who remained with the liner to the last. Two mine sweepers and two admiralty tugs attempted to tow the Hesperian to port but the ship, partly filled with water, was so unmanageable and the sea so heavy that no progress could be made. The American consul at Queens-town, Wesley Frost, telegraphed to the American embassy at London that the admiralty authorities had not been informed officially that the Hesperian had been torpeded without warning, but that they believe that the case. Mr. Frost's message also said that forty-five unorganized Canadian troops were on board, most of them invalided and that the Hesperian had a 4.7 inch gun mounted stern. The consul has been unable to learn of more than two Americans who were on the Hesperian, both members of the crew and both reported to have been saved. BORDER SITUATION STILL VEXING Heavy Reinforcements of U. S. Troops Near Brownsville. Washington.—The rushing of heavy reinforcements into the trouble zone by the United States authorities is believed to have had the expected result of overawing the Mexicans whose raids into Texas had become so persistent as to give rise to rumors of an organized invasion of American territory. While no further fighting was reported from the trouble zone near Brownsville, American troops were on the alert all along the Rio Grande to check any recurrence of raids into Texas by Mexican bands. In a bruch, which in the annals of Latin-American wars, would have been considered a real battle, 30 Mexicans were killed, the fighting all being across the boundary. Extraordinary precautions had been taken by border patrol officers after the circulation of reports that preparations were under way for a general invasion of the United States territory. Major General Funston was given authority to handle any emergency and commanders would not hesitate to pursue to a rout the participants in any movement approximating an armed invasion. If the raiders continued to appear in small bands, however, it was understood they would not be followed across the frontier. News dispatches from the border stated the situation had been relieved by co-operation of the Carranza military authorities who removed their troops from the river bank at Cavazos. Major General Funston reported that General Nafaratte, the Carranza commander at Matamoros, again had denied that Carranza troopers were riding the Mexican border and proposed bringing more Carranza troops to the Mexican side to suppress disorders. The Carranza authorities have suggested a conference to arrange joint action.

COURTESY OF OLD TIMES Manners Were Important When Washington Lived, but We Have No Time to Be Polite. Among the manuscripts preserved in the state archives at Washington is an old copybook written when he was but fourteen years old by the man for whom the city was named. Most interesting of all the memoranda set down carefully in the boyish handwriting are what George Washington quantily called "Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation." And one of these rules is: "Be not forward, but friendly and courteous; the first to salute, hear and answer, and be not pensive when it is time to converse." If as a boy he studied such maxims, do you wonder that Washington was all his life noted for his fine manners? The rules of courtesy were thought to be a very important part of a gentleman's education in the eighteenth century. A man was considered ignorant and ill-bred if in his intercourse with the world he omitted certain little acts of politeness. What gentleman of the old school ever permitted himself to remain seated when ladies were standing or to smoke in their presence without first asking permission? When they were invited out our ancestors were brought up to believe that due respect to the host and hostess demanded that each guest make himself as agreeable as possible; hence the quint maxim copied out so carefully by the young George Washington; "Be not pensive when it is time to converse." The man at the present day too often, takes the attitude that he is conferring a favor by accepting an invitation; and expects to be amused and entertained without contributing anything. Old-fashioned courtesy taught that deference must at all times be paid to age. A hundred years ago little boys and girls were told to "mind their manners" if perhaps the "dominie" or the schoolmaster or anyone of position or authority spoke to them; and the small lads would bow deeply and the tiny maids would curtsy most respectfully. Such airs and graces, pretty though they were, would be out of place in our more strenuous times. Yet there is no reason why our young people's manners should not be as good, if of necessity less formal, than those of our ancestors. If children are taught to be deferential to their elders, to be polite and generous to their playfellows, and are instructed in all the small courtesies of the table and drawing room prescribed by etiquette, they will have been given a heritage by their parents that will be of inestimable value in after life. For a thorough acquaintance with the fundamental rules of good breeding gives an ease of manner that can be acquired in no other way; and it helps wonderfully in the fight for success we all must wage.—Rehoboth Sunday Herald. A train of thought isn't much good to a man who is too lazy to generate steam for moving it in the right direction. Crumbs of comfort are satisfying only when there are enough of them to make a square meal. Of course there is more than one good reason why the match-making mamma should be called Mater.

A few hours later he was speeding to the penitentiary under a sentence of 30 years. This incident is referred to in Muskogee by some as a "legal lynching." THE NEGRO FAIR in Muskogee this week was very good for a maiden effort, although the Fair Association did not seem to have the co-operation of the leading business Negro men of that city. In fact it was a very noticeable fact that the leading business men of the city turned a cold shoulder to it and refused to support it. Without attempting to discuss the merits or demerits of the Fair Association or the peculiar attitude of the business men of Muskogee in refusing to give their endorsement and support to this movement, we believe that inasmuch as this was a Muskogee enterprise, and more than that, a race enterprise, every Negro business man in Muskogee should have encouraged it. This was a splendid opportunity for the race in Muskogee to secure some valuable advertising, and as we see it, it matters little through whom the opportunity came, the leading business men should have been in the game.

Us Save You M LAST WEEK a certain County Judge, is said to have sent for a Colored man who was guardian for his own children and told him that his report was not correct and that unless he—the father—resigned as guardian of his children, criminal prosecution would be started against him. The Colored man went to a lawyer, a Colored lawyer, who went into every detail of the case. After a diligent investigation he found that a big oil well had come in close to the land belonging to his clients children, and informed the Judge of the County Court that his client would not resign, but was ready for trial if he had committed any crime. Whereupon the Judge said he would take the case under advisement. Or course there will be no trial. Do you see the point? The Colored man had done no wrong. He was guardian of his own children and when the big grafters saw a chance to turn a trick and rob these little Colored children they were ready to do so even if it had been necessary to send the father to the penitentiary. But thanks to the genius and ability of one of our own lawyers the scheme was nipped in the bud and the Star will bet a dollar against the hole in a doughnut that no charges will ever be brought against the guardian and father. et Us Save You Money! et Us Save You Money!

Work for 2,007 Obtained by Bureau of Appointments, According to Report—Some Make $390 New Haven.-Yale students who worked their way through college last year earned a total of $37,146.88 in positions obtained for them by the bureau of appointments of Yale university, according to the first report of that bureau. During the year the bureau assisted 600 students who applied for work. In the cases of three-fourths of the men applying the bureau provided for work and scholarship aid sufficient to make the assets for the year equal to the total necessary expenses. Typewriting and stenographic work furnished the most profitable means of employment and the newspaper bureau brought good results. Owing to the discussion that arose concerning tutoring this means was not pushed vigorously. Next year, according to arrangements made by the faculty, there will be a regular tutoring school attached to the university. The record kept of the amounts earned by students shows that a total of 2,007 jobs were given out during the nine months of the university year, from which the men reported total earnings of $19,646.88, and 175 positions were furnished for students for the summer, from which the estimated total income is $17,500. This, of course, does not include the large amount of income of men from work which they have continued on jobs obtained through the bureau in previous years, or the earnings from the large amount of work which men have found for themselves about the city. On the basis of this computation it is estimated about seven hundred students in the university support themselves and earn approximately $300 a year each at Yale. They engaged in all kinds of work. There were 318 ushers, 98 did clerical work, 73 were waiters, and included in other classes of work are canvassing, caring for furnaces, gardening, collecting, clerical work in dining halls, music and clerking in stores. Twenty-five men canvassed for names for a woman's suffrage petition presented to the Connecticut legislature; five acted as models for artists, for classes in anatomy and for an underwear manufacturing company; fifteen acted as pallbearers, fifty were "supers" in theatrical entertainments, five were professional partners at dances. One man worked for the Winchester Repeating Arms company, doing a twelve-hour shift six nights a week, and he completed a regular year of law school work. Others gave sleight of hand performances, played in orchestras, served as inspectors for the antifly campaign, acted as doorkeepers at weddings, etc. One gathered newspaper clippings at 50 cents a clipping of the record of every competitive event between Yale and Harvard to settle an argument between a Yale graduate and a Harvard graduate. One cleaned tombstones. GRAVEYARD IS FOR SALE Milton Burying Ground, Oldest in St. Louis, to Be Sold for "a Song." St. Louis.—Anybody wish to buy a cemetery for sixty-eight cents? One is to be sold at public auction, for taxes and costs to cover the amount. It is the old Milton burying ground, with an area of three-tenths of an acre, a quarter of a mile north of East Alton, the oldest grave in which is that of John Milton, who died in 1812. An assessment of two dollars was levied against the graveyard for the East Alton drainage and levee district. It was to be paid in annual installments of twenty-three cents. The trustees of the cemetery have had little money for its upkeep and for the past year or so J. W. Carey, former treasurer of the drainage board, has paid the twenty-three cents out of his own pocket. QUARRY STONE POISONOUS Men and Horses Made Sick by Flying Particles When Limestone Is Blasted. Auburn—A peculiar form of blood poisoning among employees in a limestone quarry was reported by Dr. John H. Whitbeck, health officer of Cayuga. Fifty men have been struck. Six are in a hospital and one will probably die. According to Doctor Whitbeck, the malady is caused by the blasted stone. Horses cut by particles also were infected. Workmen Find Coffin. Ladoga, ind —The remains of a coffin containing some fragments of human bones were unearthed here by workmen excavating for a cellar in New Ross. The grave was not near a cemetery. About fifty years ago a man named Noffsinger disappeared mysteriously from New Ross and was not seen nor heard from afterward. Residents of New Ross believe he met with foul play and was burted in the woods, which then covered the land where the grave was found. Business = Professional Directory ECONOMY DRUG CO.

A writer in the magazine advertising and selling says: "Some time ago I heard Harry Ford, when he was with the Chalmers Motor Company give an illustration of the difference between advertising and salesman ship. One day Jack Johnson was in Mr. Ford's office and said: "What is all this stuff you have on the walls here. Mr Ford?" The answer was advertising". Jack asked then; "What is advertising" Mr Ford explained that advertisis was for the purpose of selling Chalmers cars. "But I don't see why you need that when you have so many salesmen" Mr. Ford's answer was; "There are two things necessary to sell cars and I will explain them in your own language. You have two arms. You use your left hand to feint and to jab the other fellow-to get his interest to get him aroused That is advertising. But you use your strong right arm to deliver the blow that knocks him out.

Seldom it has been a more one-sided than that of New Orleans, eight January 8, 1815. The size numbers were concerned, the advantage was with the British; for they had 12,000 soldiers while General Jackson did not rarely 6,000. In the prime, too, the British were in the peril, for they were well trained veterans who had seen service on the battlefields of Europe. The American soldiers on the other hand, were for the most part raw militia, plains in coo-skin cape and nonpoussun clothing. But in results the one-sidedness was the other way. For three weeks Jackson had been training his raw soldiers, and when the British advanced to the attack they found the Americans strongly intrenched and well prepared to receive them. The slaughter was terrific. The British loss was about 2,600 killed and wounded, while on the American side only eight were killed and thirteen wounded. And the pity of it was, there was no need of the battle, for peace had been declared between the two countries. Among the American soldiers were many from Kentucky, and for years afterward this song was often sung in that state: "Jackson led in to the cypress swamp: The ground was low and mucky; There stood John Bull in mar- tial pomp, And here stood old Kent- tucky. And when so near we saw them wink, We thought it time to stop 'em; Lead it would have done your heart good To see Kentuckine pop 'em." t. Bill by Joseph R. Bowling THE TULSA STAR RAILROAD BUILT BY FARMERS MAY GO TO JUNK PILE Atlantic & Southern Has Not Turned a Wheel Since January 1. IS ONLY 35 MILES LONG Strikers Once Ran It Till They Got Their "Back Pay"—Leslie M. Shaw Wanted It Once, But Changed His Mind. Atlantic, Ia.—The last chapter in the spectacular history of the Atlantic & Southern railroad is about to be written; the line is about to be sold for junk. The rails and ties will probably be taken up and carried to Arkansas, and they will be used in building a little railroad in that state. The stations will be sold to anyone who will buy them and the right of way will revert to the farmers along the way who originally donated most of it to the railroad that was to bring competition and a reduction in freight and passenger rates. Not a wheel has been turned on any portion of the road since January 1, and the owners are now negotiating for the sale of the property to W. Harding Davis of St. Louis, a dealer in second-hand railroad materials, for use of the line that is being built in Arkansas. The Atlantic & Southern was unique among railroads. It is thirty-five miles long and was completed on January 1, 1911, after a spectacular building race for a price of $50,000, which was to be paid conditional upon the completion of the road upon that date. During the last month of building the work was carried on day and night, electric lights being strung along the line and double shifts, both as to men and horses, employed. The job was completed with only a few hours to spare and the first train to pass from end to end arrived at the terminal within less than one hour of the last moment possible for it to do so and yet win the prize. Built by Farmers. The little railroad was built in large part by farmers. Not only did the farmers finance the deal, but they performed most of the work. Whenever a farmer had nothing else to do, he hitched up his team, drove over to the line and put in a day's work on the grade. Sometimes he was paid in actual cash; at other times he was given credit on his stock subscription, and at still others he was paid in stock of the road. Much of the right of way was donated by the farmers and some of the cross ties were cut by them and delivered free. The building of the Atlantic & Southern followed closely upon the completion of the Atlantic & Northern, a road about eighteen miles long, running northward from this town. But whereas the northern road was a success from the beginning, the Southern never paid operating expenses, much less a dividend. Operated by Strikers. At one time there was a strike on the road, the section: men and the five trainmen quitting work because they had not been paid. They barricaded the line and for almost a month not a train was operated in either direction. Finally the strikers took possession, ran trains, took the money and paid themselves off and then surrendered the property to the owners. The little road was expected to prove that a farming community could finance and build its own transportation systems. Every farmer along the right of way took stock and gave donations; towns voted bonds to aid in its construction. Then they got down to work and built the road. Although only thirty-five miles in length, the road had more directors than the Pennsylvania, New York Central, Union Pacific and a dozen other big systems combined. At one meeting 300 of the directors were on hand—and they were not all there at that time, either. But the Atlantic & Southern was not without prospects—and big ones, too. The late Edwin Hawley at one time had his eye on the property, and at the time of his death was preparing to purchase it and make it a connecting link between the Minneapolis & St. Louis, Iowa Central, Chicago & Alton, Missouri, Kansas & Texas, Clover Leaf and Chesapeake & Ohio roads. It was his intention to extend the little line southward to Kansas City, northeastward to Des Moines and westward to Omaha. Leslie M. Shaw Wanted It And after Mr. Hawley's death Leslie M. Shaw, formerly secretary of the treasury, tried to buy the property at receiver's sale. Mr. Shaw deposited $40,000 when the line was knocked down to him at auction, but failed to come forward with the remainder at the proper time and his deposit was confiscated. He is still fighting in the courts to get his money back. Two years ago, after passing through receivership, the line was sold at auction and was purchased by the firm which had furnished the cross ties, the bid being the amount still due it. This firm operated the road in eighteen months, lost money every month and finally, on January 1, posed it down entirely. Health Baths Booker T.

Franklin's Autobiography Tells How He Promoted the First Contract Joe in Philadelphia. Recently at one of the luncheons of the City Club of Philadelphia there was read an extract from the auto biography of Penjamin Franklin which was read to describe the first instance of street cleaning by con- tract in Philadelphia. The incident is interesting also, however, as illustrat- ing citizen co-ventee in its original simplicity. "One day," Franklin wrote, "I found a poor industrious man, who was willing to undertake steeping the pavement clear, by sweeping it twice a week, carrying off the dirt from before all the neighbors' doors, for the sum of six-pence per month, to be paid by each house. It then wrote and printed a paper setting forth the advantages to the neighborhood that might be obtained by this small expense. I sent one of these papers to each house, and in a day or two went around to see who would subcribe an agreement to pay these six pences; it was quantitatively signed and for a time wall executed. This raised a general desire to save all the streets paved, and made the people more willing to subscribe to a law that purpose."—The Survey.

"Our summer's evening," writes Hone, "I was walking on Hampstead Heath with Charles Lamb, and we had talked ourselves into a philosophic contempt of our slavery to the habit of snuff taking, and with the firm resolution of never again taking a single pinch we drew our snuffboxes away from the still on which we stood, far among the turse and brambles below, and we went home in triumph; I began to be very miserable, was wretched all night; in the morning I was walking on the same hill: I saw Charles Lamb below, searching among the bushes; he looked up laughing, and saying, "What you are come to look for your snuff box too!" "Oh, no," said I taking a peck out of a paper in my waistcoat pocket. I went for a halfpenny worth to the first shop that was open."—London broadshe.

THE P. & O. CANTON Star Disc Harrow The bearings are just-proof and are provided with wood bushings. As a result all wear is concentrated upon these wood parts which cost but a trifle and are easily renewed, though it is seldom necessary to do so. Owing to the facilities for oiling the bearings they wont run dry. You take out the oil plugs which are in the bottom of the weight boxes, the most accessible place to put them, and fill the oil ducts—they hold a lot of oil, too—then forget about them. The feed is just right and the harrow will run easily without more attention for a long time. These oil ducts are simply holes cast in the standards, the lower ends of which form the top sections of the bearings. It is a simple and effective arrangement. Don't overlook the scrapers—they are one of the fine points on this harrow. A harrow defective in this respect, though perfect in every other, is often useless. Remember this and examine those on the Canton Star. They are made to sweep across the faces of the discs from center to the outer edges, and each blade has a pressure spring to hold it firmly against the disc and yet leave it flexible. If you prefer, the Canton Star Harrow can be equipped with a Seeder Attachment for Broadcasting or Drilling. It just as good as the harrow, too. THE STAR FAVORS the appointment of a board of Regents for Langston, three of whom should be Colored men and two white men, state officials. This would do the school more good than anything else at the present time. THE STAR is of the opinion that the State Board of Education are all honorable, fair minded, liberal hearted men, who desire to do the best thing possible for this institution, the only one we have in the state, and we also believe they will see the need at this time of putting Colored men on a board of Regents to redeem the reputation of the school, and to better enable them to get the best results.

Pineapple Sirup.—Put three pounds of loaf sugar into a kettle, add two cupfuls of water and the whites of two eggs, well beaten. Toil together until clear. Remove and cool. Pare and grate enough pineapple to make a quart of juice, then strain into the sirup. Boil ten minutes, remove and bottle. Cover the corks with melted paraffin.

When a dessert is to be had in a hurry a most attractive one may be prepared as follows, providing you have the ingredients: Cut sponge cake in squares, place it on individual plates, put a spoonful of whipped, sweetened and flavored cream on top of each piece and place a canned apricot round side up on each prepared as follows, providing you have the ingredients: Cut sponge cake in squares, place it on individual plates, put a spoonful of whipped, sweetened and flavored cream on top of each piece and place a canned apricot round side up on each piece. Lemon Jelly With Peaches.—There are so many dainty dishes one may make with canned fruit when the fresh is not obtainable. Use fresh peaches at this season for this dish. Make a mold of lemon jelly and when ready to serve unmold in the center of a chop plate, heap round it whipped, sweetened and flavored cream and decorate with peeled halves of peaches. Serve some of the jelly, cream and a peach for each helping. Peach Conde.—Cook rice in milk until soft and creamy. Serve a spoonful of the rice with a half of a cooked peach, which has been cooked in a stirup until a light brown. Pour over a spoonful of the stirup and serve warm, hot hot, with cold poultry or game at supper or luncheon. Apples With Onions.—Slice green apples, using a pint of apples and cupful of sliced onions, doubling the amount if the family has a cultivated taste for such wholesome dishes. Brown the onions in a little hot salt pork fat, add the apples and a very little water, enough to keep them from burning while cooking. Stir occasionally and season with salt, sugar and a dash of cayenne if liked. Serve with pork chops or roast pork. Fried Apples.—These are also delicious to serve as an accompaniment to pork in any form. Wash, but do not peel, the apples, core and slice in thin rings, brown in hot butter, sprinkle with sugar while looking to give a good color, add a grating of nutmeg, a dash of salt and serve hot as a garnish around the platter of sausages, pork chops or steak. Nellie Maxwell What Puzzled Him. The muskety instructor had just been giving a lesson on the rifle to one particularly "green" set of recruits. At the end he asked: "Now, is there any question you want to ask?" One dull-looking "Johnny Raw" stepped forward, blushing awkwardly. "Please, sir," stammered the searcher after knowledge, "be it roit that the 'arder I pulls the trigger thing the farther the bullet goes?" Ready to Say "Good-Night" H K THE FIRST CHILDREN The night clothes of little lads and maids, when made for other seasons than winter, do not differ much from those worn by their elders. For little girls, nainook and batiste and the light muslins are used for the gowns and narrow lingerie laces for trimming. The trimming is simpler, that is, not so much lace is used, and the methods of applying it are less intricate. With the return of fancy needlework to fashion in the belongings of grown people, it is sure to appear on children's clothes, where it seems more appropriate than any other sort of trimming. The small and dainty patterns in laces are chosen when laces are used. The little empire gown shown in the picture has a body of narrow lace and fine embroidery. It is sleeveless, with a ruffle of wider val lace finishing the arm eyes. This is a pattern for summer wear and few sleeveless gowns are made for little girls. For between seasons, little models are made with high neck and long sleeves, finished with fancy needlework and A Lovely Negligee Lovely Negligee of Yellow C A Lovely Negligee of Yellow Crepe A Lovely Negligee of Yellow Crepe THE FASHION WEEKLY Some of the most beautiful tones of yellow are even more delicious in crepe, it seems, than in any other material. The adorable negligee pictured here, has been made up in all the flowerlike colors: rose, blue, lavender, pink and in pale green, and it is exquisite in all of them, but in light and glowing yellow it is simply a glorious garment. top edge of the lace d inch and a half, to for ruffle. When this flounder about the waist, small c light pink, blue and yel green chiffon leaves, over it in a row, with lowering one. These portant and the neglig character without them It is combined with a net-top lace in deep cream color and is very simply cut. Anyone with any knowledge of sowing can undertake to make so simple a pattern. The bodice portion is cut in kimono fashion with sleeves and body in one piece. It is gathered to a narrow soft belting at the waist line. The long plain skirt portion, with hemmed opening down the front, is straight and is also gathered to the belt. The bottom is finished with a three-inch hem. When the body and skirt have been made and joined at the belt the lace is to be set on. Choose an open mesh pattern and one having a pretty finish at its top edge. The lace should be ten to twelve inches wide, or it may be wider. Gather a ruffle of the lace to be set about the waist line. Turn the K small tuckers. These are to be replaced, as the cold weather comes on, by gowns of canton flannel, made long. The small boy's pajamas hardly need description. They are made of light cotton materials. The pants are fastened at the waist with a tape which is run through a hem in the top. They are as plain as can be and so is the coat. This is usually bound with braid and provided with a pocket at one side. The same pattern is used for the canton flannel pajamas used in cold weather. For the comfort of little ones who sleep in cold rooms and are liable to kick their feet from under cover, bed shoes of canton flannel or of elderdown are recommended. They are easily made and easily laundered and they are most comforting. There are numbers of patterns for little nightdresses—the simplest ones are the best. For the little boy, pajamas, like those shown in the picture, cannot be improved upon. There is no reason to doubt the sincerity of a woman who voluntarily wears a Salvation army bonnet. of Yellow Crepe top edge of the lace down about an inch and a half, to form a standing ruffle. When this flounce has been set about the waist, small chiffon roses in light pink, blue and yellow with pale green chiffon leaves, are to be set over it in a row, with one color following another. These roses are important and the negligee would lose character without them. A width of three or four inches is cut from the top of a length of lace to form the ruffle for the neck and front of the body. The remainder of this length will make the ruffles that are set on to the ends of the sleeves. The narrow, standing ruffle makes a heading and a single chiffon rose in pink, with its little, pale green leaves, is set at the top of each ruffle against the net. The negligible is worn with a cap to match. It has a small lace plaque at the center of the crown. A puff of crepe is gathered to this and edged with lace. It is drawn up about the face on an elastic band. A few very small chiffon roses are set with bows of narrow satin ribbon in the flounce of lace that falls about the face.

BOTH ADEPTS IN DECEIT How Signals Arranged for Between Soldier and His Wife Really Were Carried On. The captain had not been long married when he was ordered into camp. To be sure, the camp was in plain sight of the captain's residence, but then it was still a separation; and to lighten this terrible condition it was arranged that the bereaved husband and wife should signal to each other often with their handkerchiefs. It was on the second day that the young wife was seated on the porch reading. "Tell me, Jane," said she, "is the captain still signaling?" "Yes, ma'am," answered the maid. "Then keep waving your handkerchief. I want to finish this novel." At the same time, in camp an officer from an adjoining company stepped up to the captain. "I say, old fellow," he asked, "why do you keep that man out there all day waving a handkerchief?" "Oh, it's merely a bit of signal-code practice for him." No Long Term Wished "May I say just one word before you impose sentence?" asked the street railway magnate. "Well, what is it?" snapped the court. "Please remember, your honor, that you are imposing sentence and not granting me a franchise," he cautioned, fearing for the worst. Inconsistency. Mrs. Bacon—He's a very inconsistent man. Mrs. Egbert—Indeed? "Yes; why, he tried to break his boy of being left-handed and he could only punish the little fellow with his left hand." The Reason. "What was the matter with that singer? His voice was not at all full." "Maybe not, but he was." When you have no reason to smile, keep in practice, anyway. Use Aeroplanes to Hunt Seals. Difficulty experienced this past season in locating seal herds in northern waters has caused the owners of sealing ships to give serious consideration to employing aeroplanes in next year's hunt. These craft of the air, they believe, can scout more cheaply and with less waste of time than the sealing ships, themselves. Small aeroplanes, designed especially for the purpose, are looked upon as entirely feasible. Through their use, seal herds will be located and reported to the vessel which can then make for the spot indicated. Certain-teed Roofing "Are the summer boarders making themselves at home?"

Washington.—With the approach of the open season for shooting the wild fowl, the United States department of agriculture is warning sportsmen that the federal regulations as amended October 1, 1914, will be strictly enforced. Some misunderstanding has arisen from the fact that the various state laws do not always conform to the federal regulations. This is regarded as unfortunate, but in such cases the department must insist upon the observance of the federal regulations. Federal regulations divide the United States into two zones. Zone No. 1, the breeding zone, includes the states of Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and all states north of them. Zone No. 2, the wintering zone, include all states south of those named. The regulations prescribe the season as follows for Zone No. 2, in which Oklahoma is located: Zone No. 2.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By O. E. SELLERS, Acting Director of the School Course of the Moody Bible Institute. LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 12 ELIJAH'S FLIGHT AND RETURN. LESSON TEXT-I Kings 19:8-18. (Read entire chapter). GOLDEN TEXT-Be still and know that I am God. Ps. 46:10. Ellijah's great victory over the prophets of Baal which resulted in their extermination is followed by a most notable prayer service on the top of Mount Carmel (18:42-45). So confident was the prophet that at the arising of "a little cloud," he hastily summoned the feasting king and urges his departure to his home, "that the rain stop thee not." The God whom Ellijah had honored so signally that day laid his hand upon the prophet (18:46) so that he was able to outrun the king's horses to the entrance of Jecreel. There he is met by a messenger of the wicked queen (19:2) who had been the protector and provider of the slain prophets. Getting his eyes off of God and seeing only a vile and wicked woman Ellijah not only ran for his life out of Ahab's domains but also "went a day's journey into the wilderness" to the protecting shade of a juniper tree (v. 4). 1. The Discouraged Prophet, vv. 4-8. Old and young, great and small, we all have our periods of discouragement and frequently despair. Christian's encounter with Giant Despair appeals to us all for it is so true to life. At Carmel, Ellijah controlled the king; in his palace at Jezreel, Jezebel soon shattered his good resolutions, if he had any. We must recall that it was her prophets Ellijah had destroyed. There is a suggestion in the fact that Ellijah did not enter her presence (18:46). Yonder in the wilderness, his Gethsemane, Ellijah prayed a vastly different sort of prayer than upon Mount Carmel. Jezebel is still in power. Heathenism is not overthrown, his efforts had been but trying to "dam Niagara with bulrushes." No one who has ever heard the oratorio "Elijah" sung will ever forget the bitter agony of "It is enough." The prophet who alone had been exalted to the heights was alone capable to sounding such a depth of human despair. The sources of his discouragement were his physical condition, his loneliness, inactivity, mental reaction and a feeling that his cause was lost. God's first remedy was to feed his falting servant and then give him a task to perform, viz., a journey to Mount Horeb (Mount of God), for God loved him just as truly now as previously at Carmel. In this new strength Elijah went "forty days" (v 8; I Pet. 2:2). II. The Encouraging God, vv. 9-13. God's second remedy was to give Elijah his word though this time it suggested reproof. "What doest thou here?" Elijah is out of place. In reply he begins to rehearse his loyalty to God, and how bad the others were and then in seeming petulance he adds, "and they seek my life." "I only," are the words of the selfish man and when Elijah used them he too was a backslidden servant. It is true that there was great apostasy in Israel but the prophet was far from being the only true servant remaining. (See 18:4; 20:13; 22:35; 41; 22:8). This is a favorite way the Evil One has for paralyzing our efforts. There is no evidence but that the 7,000 were as brave, certainly at that moment more so, than Elijah. God then continued his treatment by giving the prophet a vision of himself and of his methods for advancing his kingdom. A series of symbols made the truth plainer and more impressive than words alone could possibly have done. Leaving the protecting cave Elijah first met a wind which "rent the mountains," a type of Elijah's past activity. This was not God's chief power nor method. The mighty wind which destroys is as nothing compared to the silent forces which create. III. The Result, vv 14-18. As a sovereign remedy God now sets before Elijah three definite tasks to perform. Elijah still speaks of his faithfulness as though the success of The Cause depended upon him. The man who assumes that attitude in the work of God's kingdom will, like Elijah, soon be set aside. Elijah's first task was to avoid Israel and go to Damascus and "anoint"—set apart for special service—Hazael (v. 17), who was to be the instrument of punishing Israel. His next task was to find Jehu, the commander in chief of Ahab's army, and set him aside to be the king, not immediately but to be in training for that office. Elijah's work is now not that of fire and wind, but of the "still small voice." To others is delegated the more spectacular tasks which these typify. In this connection (v. 17) those are strange words, "shall Elisha slay." To fully understand them we must be familiar with that prophet's life and work, also with that accomplished by Jehu (See II Kings 2:23, 24; Hos. 6:5; 6; Isa. 11:6.) Elijah's third task was to appoint his successor and surely no harder task ever comes to any of us than to turn over our work to another. THE TULSA STAR CALOMEL SICKENS!

It was Emerson who said, "An acceptance of the sentiment of love throughout Christendom for a season, would bring the felon and the outcast to our side in tears, with the devotion of his faculties to our service. Love would put a new face on this weary old world, in which we dwell as pagans and enemies too long, and it would warm the heart to see how fast the vain diplomacy of statesmen, the impotence of armies and navies and lines of defense, would be superseded by this unarmed child." Alas that the sentiment has not been accepted, but instead the world and the individual have been laying their plans, and directing their action, by a calculation of chances which, of course, can be no bigger than the human mind that does the calculating. That love has not been tried is proved by the collapse of commercial civilization, but the things of commerce and of calculation perish, while the sentiment of love endures, because it is of God, and being of God, is sure in the end to triumph.—Universalist Leader. In the good old days gone by when a gardener was kept it used to be the custom to keep a cask of lemonade from which the outdoor servants could help themselves. The gardener was noticed to go very frequently to the cask, and his mistress took the opportunity to speak to him on the subject. "John," she said. "I think you get thirsty very often." "No, mum. I don't," replied John. No, mum, I don't, replied John. "Well, John, I see you very frequently at the lemonade barrel." "Yes, mum, that's what keeps me from gettin' thirsty."

I said No. I then read all of the testimonials in the Ladies' Birthday Almanac and then I phoned for a bottle of Cardui and commenced taking it. I began to improve from then on. I took five bottles continuously, then off and on for awhile, and I was well . . . and have had good health ever since, I am glad to say. I have recommended it to a lot of my friends.

One night he was exceedingly late, and his wife, after fretting herself into a temper, went to bed, determined to give her husband a lesson. When she had been upstairs about ten minutes she heard a knock, so, putting her head out of the window, she inquired: "Is that you, Tom?" "Yes, Kate; come and open the door." was the answer. "What has kept you out so late?" asked his wife. "We have been discussing the real benefits of fresh air," answered he. "Well," returned his better half, "you can lecture tomorrow night from experience," and down went the window with a bang. Time Has Made a Difference Time Has Made a Difference.

Doctor Ayres has had made a test from 1,000 words that constitute 90 per cent of the English language ordinarily used. He has found that "spelling ability" is easily and scientifically determined. For example, nine words of most frequent use, "the," "in," "so," "no," "now," "man," "ten," "bed" and "top" are revealed that second grade pupils, on an average, spelled correctly 94 per cent of these words. At the other extreme of the scale the words "judgment," "recommend" and "allege" were found to be spelled correctly by just 50 per cent of eighth grade pupils. CHILD ATTACKED BY ROOSTER Cuts Her Face and Spurs Her, But Is Beaten Off by Neighbors of the Family. New York.—Mildred, two years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Loughlin of Patchogue, L. L. was seated on the lawn of her home, when she was attacked by a big stray rooster, who wanted the cake the baby had in her chubby fist. The child tried to beat the big bird off and alarmed the neighborhood with her screams. The rooster pecked at her face coming dangerously close to her eyes, and then catching her hair in his beak she spurred her face, drawing blood. The rooster was killed by one of the rescuers and will make soup for the baby while she is convulsed. A queer custom ruling relates to that mobile animal, the mule. As American contractor took some mules into exico for use upon some construction work there, and upon the completion of the contract brought the mules back to Texas. The curious officials insisted upon his paying duty, but the contractor claimed free entry for the mules as "articles of American growth returned without being advanced in value." The curious declared, however, that the board of appraisers has sustained them that mules are not "articles what then, are they?" If they are persons they are certainly entitled to come back home. Since the decision that a mule is not a bird, the customs service has got its natural history fearful and wonderfully mixed. ```markdown ``` ion shirts SUCH PRICES WILL NOT LAST FOREVER Bankrupt Harlow Brokerage SALE WILL CONTINUE FOR LIMITED TIME ONLY ALL ARE BEING CLOSED OUT AT PRICES UNHEARD OF FOR THEIR LOWNESS HARLOW BROKERAGE ```markdown ``` Stock Redu The sameDedendable Luggage Stock You are s The Oklahoma COR.

In 1758 John Kemble, an English theatrical manager, opposed a match between his daughter and a member of his company, not wishing her to marry an actor. He finally gave consent, however, consulting himself with the thought that the young man was not much of an actor. In this he was mistaken, for the young man, whose name was Roger Kemble, not only succeeded well in his profession, but became the founder of a family that is remarkable in the annals of the English stage. Twelve children were born to the couple, of whom eight reached maturity; and every one of the eight made some effort on the stage. The eldest child, Sarah, became the renowned Mrs. Biddons. The eldest son, John Philip, was probably the greatest actor of his day, and was known as "the great Kemble." The eleventh child, Charles, was a renowned comedian, while his daughter, Fanny Kemble, was probably the best known to the public of all the family. Her sister, Adelalde, attained considerable popularity as a public singer. Her son married the daughter of General Grant.

Bunch, Okla.—Twenty beeves, 3 hogs and 150 chickens constituted in part the menu served to the guest attending the anniversary celebration of Creek Beaver, just concluded here. The guest of honor this year was Baxter Choat of Bunch, and Black Fox of Webber Falls as usual acted in the capacity of official scribe. Creek Beaver hasn't had 115 plenics—one a year—by any means, but this year's feast was in commemoration of his birth 115 years ago, for Creek Beaver is the oldest Indian in Oklahoma. They have one up in Minnesota aged 112, but Creek Beaver goes him three years better. The Creek Beaver picnic has been an annual affair for several years now, and Creek Beaver's guests are specially invited—several hundred annually—and the aged Indian pays the whole bill. His guests stay three days and eat barbecued beef, which Creek Beaver has pounded into hash—twenty whole beeves in one dish of hash—and there is the music of the tom-tom, two steps forward, and then all sink "way back" and eat again.

FASHION'S PASSING SHOW Copyright Ludwig L. Bodemann New York.-Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs has proved that there is something new in the way of charity entertainments, if not in anything else under the sun. She sprung one at Newport the other day that people will be talking about for some little time. It was a fashion show and theatrical entertainment all in one and it had for its setting the lovely French renascence house of white marble that is Mrs. Oelrich's summer home. More properly it had the rose gardens, the white esplanades and the background of the sea for its setting, since the entertainment took place out of doors. Twenty-two professional models,twelve dancers, several young women actresses and forty members of the smart set were engaged in the production of the fashion passing show. The photograph shows Mrs. Howard Cushing as "n of Aven." Cement Fr Beets. It is now reported that a French firm is making an excellent cement from a by-product in the process of making beet sugar. The scum that forms when the beets are boiled, and which has heretofore been thrown away, consists largely of carbonate of lime and water, and from 70,000 tons of beet treated 4,000 tons of carbonate of lime are obtained; to this 1,100 tons of clay are added, the resulting product being 3,162 tons of excellent cement. The scum is pumped into large tanks, where it is allowed to dry partially; finely-divided clay is then mixed with it; the mxtum is thoroughly amalgamated by buffers for an hour and burned in a rotary, film, much is the same way as Portland cement. The clinker is then removed and pulverized into cement.
