COLORED LABOR PROBLEMS
ARE RECEIVING ATTENTION
WASHINGTON, DEC. 17.—Solution of the problems seriously affecting the economic condition of the Colored wage earner has been undertaken by the department of labor through the institution of state and local organization, said an extract of the annual report of Secretary Wilson, made public today.
Under the direction of the bureau of "Negro Economics" co-operative committees of whites and Negroes have been formed in seven states and five others are now taking up the work.
report on the migration of Negro labor from the south is being prepared by Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the Jeans and Slatter funds for Negro education in the south, and will be completed soon. With respect to this inquiry Secretary Wilson said:
"Among the circumstances disclosed by Dr. Dillard's investigation was the fact that the exodus of Negro workers has been the largest where lynchings and other forms of race friction had been the greatest.
"While the functions of the department do not extend to recommendations of specific means for dealing with this menace, and while its correction lies wholly with the several

Sedalia, Mo. Dec. 17th 1918.
Hon. A. J. Smitherman,
My Dear Sir: I have just finished
reading the Tulsa Star. Permit me
to say that out of all the Race papers
which I read, none are more filled
with historic Race news and practical advice, and none are more hold
and at the same time more forcible
in defense of the unrighted wrongs
against the race than the paper
which you edit so well.
I felt this, and hope that it will do
no harm to tell the one so nobly
fighting for the right the encouragement he gives others.
Yours truly,

COLORED AGENTS ASSIST FOOD
PRODUCTION
One hundred and forty-two Colored men agents and 194 Colored women agents of the United States Department of Agricultural Colleges, were at work in the Southern States during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918. These agents were very successful in stimulating the growing of more food crops, giving special attention to home gardens and the canning and drying of fruits and vegetables for home use. They also materially assisted in helping in the labor problem by urging Colored farmers to work six days in the week.
Mesdames R. H. Waterford and C. J. Hensen of Muskogee were visitors in the city this week attending the C. M. E Church conference, and were pleasant caller at The Star office.

WILSON SPEECHES BURNED BY WOMEN IN WASHINGTON
Washington, Dec. 16.—Nearly 300 members of the national woman's party, carrying torches and banners paraded by the White house today and, grouping around the statue of Lafayette, in a public square across the Avenue from the executive mansion, ceremoniously burned copies of all speeches made by the President. The demonstration was staged as a protest against the failure of the senate to adopt the resolution sub- amendment to the states.
Police protected the women from interference by the crowd which watched and intervened several times to quiet disturbers who tried to drown out with hoots the speeches which each woman made as she came forward to deposit the copy of an address in the fire.

NEGRO SERGEANT CAUGHT
AFTER MOUNTAIN CHASE
ANNISTON, Ala., Dec. 15.—Sergeant Ernest Cardwell, 157th depot brigade, Negro, charged with killing Cecil Linten, street car conductor, and dangerously wounding Kelsie Morrison, motorman, this afternoon, was captured to night in the mountainous section southwest of the city by an unarmed military policeman, and hurried to the stockade at Camp McClellan.
Excitement is prevalent in the city but crowds are being dispersed.
A crowd of soldiers and civilians early to night chased a Negro through the firing several shots at him. Police have not learned the cause of this but the Negro was lodged in the city jail.
Washington, D. C. Dec. 15.—The danger of relaxing efforts to check the spread of influenza was emphasized again today by Surgeon General Blue, of the public health service. "The epidemic is not ended," the Surgeon General said. "Any statement at present that the epidemic has come and gone for good" can only do harm, for it will lull people into a false sense of security and cause them to relax precautions they should take.
Be sure that you are right yourself before you start out to get the other part of the world right.

The unspeakable delight in the comming of the Baptist Convention by the eminent prelate, Dr. C. R. Tucker, pastor of the Vernon Chapel A. M. E. Church, his instruction to the members for unselfish fidelity, their qualified submission, demonstrated their unprejudiced intelligence. The welcome address by Dr. H. J.

In part his utterances demands exaltation for his didactic ability. When we read his great address published in the Tulsa Star we found evidence that denominational prejudice and cultured idleness is vanishing. Adv.

Having been spared to live to witness the Birth of Christ again, we believe that all should strive to so celebrate it in a way that our celebrating will encourage the good things of life in order to strengthen the side of life that tends to build a nation up.

Wealthy Race Mau Makes Good LIEUT. EUROPE'S COLORED BAND
THE BARBER'S HOUSE
The above shows the likeness of Mr, and Mrs. W, C. Reid of Muskogee, among the wealthiest of our race in Oklahoma, and their beautiful home. These people are worth in cold cash dollars more than three and a half million dollars. They are the owners of more than 1,700 acres of farm and oil lands in Oklahoma, from which they draw a monthly income of more than $2,500.
Yet a young man, Mr. Reid is the sole manager of his vast estate and displays rare ability in handling and controlling big financial interests.
Mr. Reid was born in Canton, Tex., 27 years ago. He came to Oklahoma about ten years ago and a few years thereafter met his wife who was at that time Miss Sallie Hodge, a very popular and wealthy Creek girl.
After a few months courtship the couple were married and have since lived happily together as man and wife. At the time of their marriage, and a long time thereafter, a white

He spent $86,500 cold cash in Liberty Bonds and War Saving Stamps, besides the money he donated to the Red Cross. Indeed no citizen of Muskogee has done any more in war work than has Mr. Reid. And he has recieved no words of encouragement more sheerful than those he has recieve from Mrs. Reid who is also an enthusiastic patriot. Aside from his oil and farm interests Mr. Reid is engaged in the real estate and farm loan business at which he has also made good.

AMERICAN RED CROSS CANTEEN SERVICE FOR NEGRO TROOPS
LARTEE FOUNDRY
WHEN THIS HAPPENS EN ROUTE TO CAMP OR EMBARKATION POINT HE KNOWS THAT SOMEBODY CARES.
OVER 65,000 women are now actively enrolled as workers in the 700 American Red Cross canteens extending from the most northern point in Canada to the most southern in the United States and from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Together with the canteen kitchens, medical supplies and small transfer hospitals, they comprise the equipment of the Canteen service, primarily organized to stimulate the morale of the soldiers and to let them know that the country is with them and appreciates the sacrifice they are making. It was also organized for the purpose of meeting emergencies which may arise with troops in transit- unavoidable delays, accidents, supplies exhausted, sudden illness or accidents to the men en route.
The American Red Cross Canteen Service is one branch of the service which, owing to its nature, requires a certain amount of secrecy. The United States is a tremendous country, with miles of track, and its troops are spread over tremendous areas. Men are sent from their home towns to camps, troops are moved from one camp to another, and they are shipped from camps to embarkation points and sent overseas, but wherever they are they find the American Red Cross has already blazed the trail and is there "on the job." This service, like all efforts in behalf of the soldiers, sailors and marines on duty in the armed service of the United States, both of this country and in Europe, is rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, without distinction.
Six hundred negro soles were served recently by an American Red Cross canteen at a point in Arkansas. In a press report of the work it was stated: "It will be a long time before the activities of that great organization, the American Red Cross, will perform a better service, or one that gives the good women, both white and colored, more pleasure. They were all listed colored men coming direct from the farms and homes in Louisiana going to a strange city and surroundings. They were a timid set when they stepped off the train here like a drove of lost sheep, but there was a far different feeling when they left. The interest shown in them here made new and fighting men out of them. They will take their places in the trenches, just like the white soldier and every time one of them does it he takes the place of your boy or my boy. He's an American soldier, and all him or is due the splendid work of our Canteen women and their colored women men helpers."
Negro Auxiliaries.
Many cities of the South are renting colored auxiliary canteen committees. The colored canteen in New Orleans is in charge of n very colored woman of education and a graduate nurse. The canteen has handlers on the ground floor of the Pythian Temple, owned entirely by negro capital. It has five large rooms, well equipped for rest and recreation, and to date has entertained every latch of negro selects leaving for cantements. It is maintained by New Orleans Chapter funds.
At some points, notably in Texas Canteen service is maintained to give refreshments to the aviators at their landing fields. In some of the largest railroad yards model canteen buildings

Upon the return recently of the national field secretary to the national headquarters of the American Red Cross, after a three months' transcontinental tour of the canteen station(s) she presented a list of delightfully varied cooling refreshments served the troops—lists registering ingenuity and thrift in utilizing local resources to make an appetizing and attractive menu for the boxes. The prime requisite of course in the summer months was something cool refreshing and perfectly harmless; inconclusive and easy to prepare and serve in large quantities on short notice. Soaps are winter and towels, while not on the menu exactly, were innocently presented, and flowers were a real refreshment. All were enthusiastically received by the men after a hot and dirty trip.
Interesting "sided roles" on the Chinese teen activities the length and breadth of the country find their way into the national headquarters of the American Red Cross and place one or very human insight into the work.
In one city where it was known that nineteen nurses were to pass through on the train on emergency services, twelve contour workers in uniform beamed the train on its arrival and pressed each nurse with a beautiful red rose. They were aroused and admired the course, and one of the closest things that had ever happened to them

er for years found he was to pass through his "home town" and wore her to that effect, asking that she meet him at the train. The message did not reach her. Naturally, very touch disappointed not to find her at the station, the boy's woody-gone expression attracted the attention of a coworker. When she heard his story she immediately started out in her car, found the mother, motored her to the station and had the pleasure of witnessing a very happy reunion of mother and son before duty called him overseas.
Canteen workers often supply the messages for the "folks back home" that are written on the post cards distributed by the American Red Cross throughout its Canteen service. This is done in cases where the men are unable to write themselves. Recently a distribution of the cards was made to a number of colored troops, and many of the Canteen workers were called upon to do the writing. In commencing upon the incident one of the workers said: "The giving was not all on our part, for when they returned from their exercises through the city the colored men were formed in a hollow square by their Commandant and the 'talent' of the regiment ordered out. The singing was beautiful and the clog dancing entertaining." The colored men were so pleased with their treatment that several of them made speeches and one spokesman stated that he was going to go home the American Red Cross Canteen "writ up" when he got to where he was going.
"It was the supper hour, but my committee was at the station at work on our sandwiches and preparing coffee within twenty minutes after notification of the time of arrival of the troops," says a Canteen captain in a recent report. "When the train arrived my five ladies served nice fresh country ham sandwiches from large trays garnished with lettuce. I had to call on the husbands, as we had only twenty minutes to serve eleven caneos. After serving the sandwiches and coffee we made the second trip around and each boy aboard received a bag of Cross chocolate bar and eighteen rottes. Every single boy was courteous and orderly, and their appreciation was the sweetest thing I ever saw."
"This is swell and helps a fellow a bot," said a big olive-drabbed boy after paraking of cotteen refreshments at

Maybe we can fix it," smilingly encouraged a charming Canteen worker. "Well, we're broke, and no one can fix that but our dads, and they are 'way up in Washington. We haven't time to wire for extra money—and there you are," said the hd with a wistful smile. "That's easy," said the Canteen girl. "We'll send the wires for you and have the money sent to your next step." "Hurrah for you!" cried the boys. And as they boarded the out-going train they wore quite a different looking expression from which they registered just a few minutes before.

From the foregoing, which is in reality but a "flash" of the great Canteen service in operation, one receives but the burst outline of the far-reaching effect of this branch of the American Red Cross activities in this country.
The American Red Cross furnishes all commanders of troop trains, conductors and railway officials with a Canteen directory, embracing the names of the chapters which have organized Canteen units. Upon being given the briefest possible telegraphic notice these chapters are prepared to render assistance of all kinds to troops en route. Troop train commanders, having government funds for the purpose, pay the government rate for rations ordered. In cases of accident or sickness occurring en route medical assistance and ambulance service are arranged for if requested in advance. Some of the Canteens, designated as "transfer stations," have immediate ambulance service for transferring slick and wounded service men to hospitals, as well as specially prepared food for sick soldiers in transit.
All official American Red Cross Canteen Workers are carefully investigated and enrolled under oath of allegiance, and the woven shield of the

They occupied the position of which the Germans boasted that they would take for breakfast on their way to Paris. The whole world has applauded the reply which the Colored lads printed on cardboard and displayed above their trenches on the points of their bayonets. "Alright, come on lil' ole Kai-sers, we've got plenty of waiters to serve you." Sergeant Stokes, fearless and
Workers Take Oath.
Canteen worker, bearing the red Cross insignia, is worn conspicuously when on active duty. The officers of a Canteen unit includes a captain, first and second lieutenants, a supply clerk and a mail clerk. The size of the Canteen unit depends largely on the frequency of the troop movements through its location. It is estimated that a unit of fifteen women can serve five hundred men.
At first both Army officers and railway men felt that the Canteen service was not a necessity, in that it duplicated the provisions of the Government and the railroads. But observers in both Army and railroad service have come to acknowledge that the Canteen is a unique addition to troop transportation. At a time when the whole machinery of travel is geared to an unboard-of speed, it is inevitable that accident and weather should result in unforeseeable delay and discomfort—the prolongation of Journeys far beyond their expected time often depletes the troop stores, and the enormous travel on the railroads often limits the available railway supplies. The American Red Cross canteen service assists the officer conducting transportation by giving him an immediate depot of supplies and helps the railroad by feeding the troops in the railroad yard, thus preventing congestion at the station.
In one city the president of the railroad ordered a freight car given the American Red Cross. It was equipped with light and gas and placed on a side-track near the railway station. The canteen unit is thus able to keep the coffee hot and have refreshments on hand for the incoming troop trains, and it also serves as a protection to the workers against cold while waiting for the trains.
The equipment of an American Red Cross canteen is just exactly what a community decides to make it. Some canteens in the larger centers are highly developed, while others embrace the minimum equipment. All are doing a wonderful work in which it is a pleasure to have a share.

tho on his breast Sgt. Stokes wears the emblem of the highest honor that can be conferred upon a fighting man. This man for five months half a world away on the Champagne front, formed a part of the great machine which battered the Hun into submission, yet his escort officer Borland was told, "We will serve you in the hut, but that 'fellow' will have to eat out side, or go up to the station to his own fikls". Of officer Borland replied, "No thank you. I don't care to eat where this man is not allowed". This accounts for the Chrispus Attucks, canteen having as guest Sgt. Borland and Sgt. Stokes.
RINGING IN THE NEW
For miles were heard Artillery Battle
For miles and miles bayonets gleamed
Over half the world were engaged in battle
Of home in dying soldiers dreamed
As they lay where they were slain
In frozen blood, ice and rain
Christians prayed and began to shout
When Nineteen and Eighteen was Ringing out
Lights in the churches were burning bright
While they prayed deep in the night
Sinners sit with heads cast down
While Christians prayed on their knees around
Coming home were armies of men
When Nineteen and Nineteen was Ushered in
It is twelve o'clock the watchman said
Then the minister declared the old year dead
Prejudice looked suspiciously about
When Nineteen and Eighteen was Ringing out
Since Washington settled the United States
America has grown at a rapid rate
Her armies and navys were prepared for battle
From a distance were heared their kettle drums rattle
Her ships stood in every port
On their tall mast poles the Stars and Stripes float
Since Nineteen and Eighteen has been ushered in
Prepared to put to and end
Burning and Lynching of men.

NURSE
Women all over the world realize more and more that their work at home helped the men at the Front. It involved great sacrifices, hard work and unusual physical strength. Women at home should study nursing for the home. A good way to learn is to ask your druggist for a copy or send 50c to publishers of the "Medical Adviser", 663 Main St., Buffalo, N. Y., and get a copy of their 1,000 page book bound in cloth, with chapters on First Aid, Taking Care of the Sick or Wounded, Physiology, Hygiene, Anatomy, Sex Problems, Mother and Babe, Nobody, man or woman, can do good work when health is impaired. If a woman is nervous or has dizzy spells, suffers from awful pains at regular or irregular intervals she should turn to a tonic made up of herbs, and without alcohol, which makes weak women strong and sick women well. It is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Send Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., 10 cents for trial package.
Shawnee, Okla.—“When 'Favorite Prescription' was used, I took it for female weakness. I had need of it for about two months and it helped me—did all I could expect. Later on I took 'Golden Medical Discovery' for a run-down system, taking two or three bottles. This was all right for building-up and for the blood. I can speak in high terms of both these remedies; they are just fine."—Mrs. C. A. Fredregg, 412 No. Pott St.

RELIABLE PRESCRIPTION FOR THE KIDNEYS
For many years druggists have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine.
It is a physician's prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medicine. It helps the kidneys, liver and bladder do the work nature intended they should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on its merit and it should help you. No other kidney medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatment at once.

SLIM AND SIMPLE
SLIM AND SIMPLE
Frocks Are Quite Unlike the Mode of Yesterday.
Walstlines Are Capricious; Sleeves of Various Styles; Supply of Silk Is Wondrous; Woolens Limited.
Everywhere one sees new clothes. At first glance they seem quite like the mode of yesterday—and one resolves with firmness to wear the things left over. One looks again, relates a writer in Harper's Bazar, and discovers a difference which lies not in the outlines but in a host of clever, artfully planned details—and one's resolution files on wings.
In style all frocks are slim and simple—or at least they give that impression. The skirts are of the well-known "hobble" type, but they have all the delights and one of the regrets of the hobble we used to struggle with so valiantly. Instead of the uncomfortably close confines of other days, the new skirts are so skillfully folded and draped that though the slender lines are scrupulously maintained, the wearer has plenty of room in which to brave the curbstones! Waistlines are indeed capricious, for while some reach aspiring heights, others startle with their length. A few staid and sober ones insist on being normal. Of girdies there are a-plenty. If one would have the swathing kind—and one surely will—remember that it begins at the normal waistline, and is draped to give the effect of a long, slender waist.
Sleeves, always a law unto themselves, are long and tight at times, again only three-quarters. Some are draped and some are "bells;" some are banded with fur and some with heavy material. Though the straight neckline is still much liked, distinctive collars of fur will stump a gown as unmistakably new.
Silk is the mode, of course. And never were there such wondrous silken stuff!
Wools there are—rough homespun, duvetyns, velours and jerseys—for suits and wraps that one may wear without a qualm, for the materials were manufactured and purchased long before there was any question of conservation. The supply, of course, is limited, and the tariff proportionately high.
WHEN ONE SITS UP IN BED
Knitted Nightingale Most Useful Garment When Ill or Reading In Bed.
The knitted nightingale is one of the most useful garments a sick person can possess, and it is certainly acceptable to anyone who likes to read in bed. Moreover, it is very easy to make and goes quickly. Any light-colored wool is nice for it, especially the silk and wool mixtures that can be purchased in pink, blue and lavender, or, better yet, the fluffed cotton that looks like wool.
The scarf itself it straight, with a purled cuff of 40 stitches done on very thin needles for two inches, and then increased to about 60 stitches on very large needles, and continued until the whole measures somewhere between 50 and 60 inches, depending on the length of the arms of the person for whom it is intended. It usually takes about four balls of wool for one. When it is finished the cuffs are sewed up and part of one edge is turned back with ribbon through to make a collar, and give something to fasten it together. The whole is something like a big shawl, with a place at each end for the arms.

RENOVATING THE "HARD" HAT
Home Milliner Can Remedy Defects and Make Top Piece Stylish and Becoming.
No woman can well afford to make herself look "hard," and there is nothing that will do it quicker than a "hard" ht. You know the kind, masculine and unbending in every line. Perhaps you have made an unfortunate purchase of the kind. So these general hints on renovating may help.
Usually the unbecomingness of this type of hat centers in the crown, which may be too tall or unbecomingly stiff, or both. The home milliner can remedy both those things by replacing the stiffened side of the crown with a softer material like satin antique, which is ever so modish for hats just now, or with velvet. Usually it is advisable to use the old "lid" of the crown for a stay. Now cut your new material of the desired height and half as long again as the circumference of the "lid." Gather it on a cord and secure to the latter. After that you can shir it both for the sake of shape and for decorativeness.
Another remedy for the harsh crown difficulty, and one almost universally becoming, is to replace half the side of the crown and the lid with the more yieldly material. According to this method, you will slice off the top of the crown and as much of the side as will give you a becoming crown height. Then gather the new material as usual.

AMONG NEW VEILS AND HATS
Close Face Covering Is Invariably Worn by Majority of Well-Dressed American Women.
Volumes could be written about the vell of the well-dressed American woman of today. Without the invariable close vell she never ventures abroad in the daylight hours. One sees scarcely three smart flowing veils—if, of course, one excepts the motor vell—during the entire season. All the possibilities of a vell are only realized by one who has experimented with various kinds and colors. It was to the vell that accompanied it that might be ascribed much of the effectiveness of the little hat of henna-brown satin recently seen, says Vogue. A wisp of darker brown feathers shot almost directly back from the left side of the brim, and a dark-brown tracery vell gave wonderful tints to the weaner's delicately bronzed skin. A sable cape thrown over the shoulders completed this harmony of warm brown.

There is a distinct predominance of small hats in the smart autumn millinery. Satin, velvet and beaver are among the most popular materials, and these assume soft dark tones, such as dull blue, gray, taupe and brown. The new henna brown, which is a shade bordering on terra cotta, while considerably in evidence in autumn costumes, has not to any important degree invaded the field of millinery.
NEW GLOVES ARE FREAKISH
Once Modest White Handeovering Regarded as Worst Offender in the Entire Group.
Just as shoes have decided to be a little quiet and remain in the shadow of a slightly longer skirt, gloves have taken it upon themselves to exhibit futuristic tendencies. The once modest white kid gloves is the worst offender of the whole group—and apparently nothing is too freakish to find a place in the new collection. Deep and narrow cuff bands of contrasting colors are added at the wrist and strips are inserted in various shapes over the back of the hand. Dark blue, black, green and tan are the shades usually selected to embellish gloves of white glace. A strange-looking pair were of white with a blue cuff and blue on the insides of the fingers, thus giving the fingers a particularly slender look for the width of the hand. White gloves, on the whole, have lost their long maintained popularity, and in times when there is so much for idle hands to do are considered out of place. Gray and tan gloves are preferred, and the well-dressed woman will probably wear this fall and winter, not the freak styles but oyster color or fawn color suede gloves.

Canada made me Prosperous
that's what thousands of farmers say, who have gone from the U.S. to settle on homesteads or buy land in Western Canada. Canada's invitation to every industrious worker to settle in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta is especially attractive. She wants farmers to make money and happy, prosperous homes for themselves by helping her raise immense wheat crops to feed the world.
You Can Get a Homestead of 160 Acres Free or other lands at very low prices. Where you can buy good farm land at $15 to $30 per acre that will raise 20 to 45 bushels of $2 wheat to the acre—it's easy to become prosperous. Canadian farmers also grow wonderful crops of Oats, Barley and Flax. Mixed Farming is fully as profitable an industry as grain raising. The excellent grasses, full of nutrition, are the only food required either for beef or dairy purposes. Good schools and churches; markets convenient; climate excellent.

Do you feel tired and "worn-out"? Are you nervous and irritable? Don't sleep well at night? Have a "dragged out," unrested feeling when you get up in the morning? Dizzy spells? Billious? Bad taste in the mouth, backache, pain or soreness in the loins, and abdomen? Severe distress when urinating, bloody, cloudy urine or sediment? All these indicate gravel or stone in the bladder, or that the poisonous microbes, which are always in your system, have attacked your kidneys.
You should use GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules immediately. The oil soaks gently into the wails and lining of the kidneys, and the little poisonous animal germs, which are causing the inflammation, are immediately attacked and chased out of your system without inconvenience or pain.

"William!" she shouted in a voice fit to command a regiment, "take your feet off the table this very instant!" "Margaret, I want you to know," he said in a voice that was surcharged with manly determination, "that there is but one person in the world that I will allow to talk to me in that way." Witn an irate men she arose and looked into his eyes. "And who is that, sir, may I ask?" she thundered. "Why, you, my dear," he gently answered, as he removed his feet from the table.

Don't ignore the "little pains and aches" especially backaches. They may be little now but there is no telling how soon a dangerous or fatal disease of which they are the forerunners may show itself.

Do not delay a minute. Go to your druggist and insist on his supplying you with a box of GOLD MEDAL Hanleum Oil Capsules. In 24 hours you will feel renewed health and vigor. After you have cured yourself, continue to take one or two Capsules each day so as to keep in first-class condition, and ward off the danger of future attacks. Money refunded if they do not help you. Ask for the original imported GOLD MEDAL brand, and thus be sure of getting the genuine.—Adv.

When the Colored Race learns to pull together along all lines, we will soon be able to note more solid achievements in our ranks.
START the New Year by becoming a subscriber to The Star; its the Race's paper and should be in every Colored home in Oklahoma.
A rotten apple in a barrel, in due time, will spoil the other apples, the same way with a rotten man or woman. Let the Negro Race have a line of demarkation.
MEN of the Colored Race paid out for gambling fines here this week, more than one.half thousand dollars; that much money used along some legitimate line would have gone a long ways in helping to build a Race.
The Colored man must prize womanhood in the Race above every thing else in the world. No race can hope to amount to a sack of peanuts who fails to respect and protects its women.
Every one of us should be proud of the Colored man who is succeeding along legitimate lines; if you can't encourage him financially, stop in and speak an encouraging word; even that helps.
IT is too bad that we can't please every body; but if we were able to do so, and turned around and did so, we wouldn't be thought any more of than we are now, hence we are going to hew to the line and let the chips fall where they may.
THE Colored people of Kansas City, Mc., are going to organize a bank; at a recent meeting more than $5000 was subscribed towards this laudible enterprise. That's the way to do things, and we trust that Tulsa Colored folks will be inspired and fall in line with the move inaugrated in KKansas City.
EARTH' GREAT JUBILEE TO BE URSHERED IN WHEN THE
The whole Angelic Host of God have long before the creation of our earth been watching with great interest the proceedings of God's Great Plans in the Universe. They are so constituted that whatever pleases God pleases them. While they are holy and happy and know much of God's greatness and love they do not know the Lengths, Breaths, and the Heightths and Depths of God's Great Plans. (1 Peter, 1:12); therefore, they are most earnest spectators of Jehovohs' proceedings. It probably sounds strange to say it, but it is true that those who fully consecrate themselves to do the will of God even unto death and under such condition make a careful study of His word are permitted to see more of the depths of Jehovah's plan than the Angels (1 Peter 1:12). The Angelic host shout for joy and applaud every important move in the execution of God's plan.
Whe in Genesis we read "In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth" we are to remember that this beginning related not to the Universe but merely to our planet. The Universe was already filled with other planets and Holy angels when the Lord began the ordering of this earth for man's habitation; so that it could be said that the morning stars sang together and all the Angelic Sons of God shouted for joy—when the Lord laid the foundations of the earth and mode the clouds the garments thereof andthick darkness its swaddling band (Jobe 38, 4:11.
It is very important that we note clearly the distinction between the creation of the Heaven and Earth and the ordering of these for man's habitation. We have no record as to when the heaven and the earth were created for we read "In the beginning the earth was without form (order) and void (empty, wast, dark)" but we do have a record, reached by logical deduction, as to how long it has been since God began the ordering of the earth for man's habitation. Just here we wish to remind you that every planet in the Universe has its physical heavens (atmosphere) and the heavens herein mentioned are physical andd have no reference whatever to the Spiritual condition of Eternal Bliss where Jehovah is.
It is well for us to keep in mind that the word "day," in the bible, means any length of time which has a definite beginning and ending and it does not simply mean sun days of 24 hours. When the bible speaks of the evening and morning being the first, second or third day it has no reference to sun days days for the reason that the sun was not visible until th fourth epoch day. We read of the day of temptation in the wilderness which is a period of 40 years Ps. 95:8. Note again that we read of the "Day of Christ!" evidently referring to the 1000 year day in which Messiah is to be king over all the earth (Isiah 2:11). In the common affairs of life we use the word "day" similarly when referring to "Caeson day" "Napoleon's day" etc.
We are discussing the Stately steps of Jehovah down through the ages in shaping this world for man's habitation upon the logical theory that each of the days of the creative week is a period of 7000 years, for the reason that Bible chronology, fulfilled and unfulfilled prophecies, types and shadows fully proves that the 7th day, the one on which God rested, is a period of 7000 years, it is but logical to conclude that each of the days of the creative week is of equal length.
Friends, I ask you to take a stand with me on another planet while we watch the proceedings of God in shaping the world for the abode of man. First wee note this earth to be without form (order) and void hear the angels shout for ojy when Jehovah gave orders to begin the foundation work. "Let there be light"; Gen, 1:3.

Six Years in Our Present Location
THE TULSA STAR
began to operate upon this waste and empty earth so that at the end of a period of 7000 years, a light corres. ponding to our aurora borealis, was produced, thus distinguishing light from darkness, and the evening and the morning was the first day. Listen to the commands for the work of the second day. "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters". Gen. 1:6. The work of the second day was wholly devoted to the production of an atmosphere and the arranging of the earths great pumping system by which the waters of earth are taken up in mid air and at proper times return again in the form of rain. (This system was put into operation after the flood: Gen. 2:5. This brings us to the end of the second, another period of 7000 years. The orders for the work of the third day reads thus: "Let the waters upder the heavens be gathered together in one place and let dry land appear;" Gen. 1:9, "Let the earth bring forth tender grass and herb yielding seed and the fruit trees bearing fruit after its kind, in which is its seed upon the earth; Gen. 1:11. The ring theory of Cosmogony is that several rings precipitated themselves upon the earth during this third epoch day. These according ti Divine intention, so increased the pressure of earths crust as to cause it to buckle or wrinkle. These depressions became Ocean beds, and the upheavels became mountain ranges, and as water drained off the elevated portions of the earth, low forms ence. The evening and the morning was the third day, another period of 7000 years. The orders for the fourth days work is heard in the following language, "Let there be light in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and for years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth; Gen. 1:14.15. We are not to suppose that the Sun, Moon and Stars were created after our earth, but rather that during the work of the first, second, and third day, enough of the earths rings, which had it raped in impenetrable darkness, had fallen so that the sun moon and stars were dimly visible. The sun and moon are very valuable to man in giving him days, signs and seasons. During this time the atmosphere being heavily charged with carbon, was very favorable to the development of giant plant life and these great forests of vegetation being covered under water and minerals from the falling of earths rings formed the great coal and oil fields of to-day. The huge vegetation of this forth day, absorbed most of the carbon of the atmosphere, and prepared the earth for the prolific development of animal life. The evening and the morning was the fourth day, another period of 7000 years.
Get this picture fully in mind, and think of the Holy Angel watching with indiscribable interest to see what will be God's next move in the carrying out of His Great Plan. Listen to the orders of the fifth days work, "Let the waters bring forth that hath life and fowls that may fly above the earth infil the open firmament of heaven." Gen. 1:20.
The carboniferous qualities of the water and atmosphere having been absorbed by the cretaceous organisms of the sea, which formed beds of limestone, and into the rank vegetation which went to form the coal beds, the air of the earth began to be pure enough to permit life in breathing animals. Crocodiles and other animals that can live either in water or on land, belong to that period. Thus, the 5th days work is ended another period of 7000 years.
We are not to get the thought that the work outlined for each of these epoch days was completed at the end of each day but rather that the work of one day lapsed into that of another The orders for the six days work reads, "Let the earth bring forth the living creatures after his kind, cattle and creeping things and beast of the earth after his kind" (Gen. 1:24). The various domesticated animals of the present time are part of the work of the sixth day. "Let us make man in our own image after cur likeness" (I stop right here to say that some of us have the idea that man has a soul something separate from the body but such is wrong andd has served to help out Satan's old lie, "Thou shall not die." All the elements, including the breath that God breathed into man's nostril were necessary to make man a living soul. There is quite a difference in a man being a thing himself and having that thing. It takes all the various parts of a wagon pdooperly put to, gether to make it a wagon. A *gague or a wheel or any other part by itself
would not be a wagon, therefore you can readily see that the breath of life that God breathed into father Adam was not a soul but that breath united with other elements constituted him (Adam) a living soul, (Gen. 2:7), and let him have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowls of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, (Gen. 1:26). Take notice, friends, that Adam's commission to rule was not to be exercised over man. When man was perfect he had perfect control over all the animals. Such will again be the case when man reaches perfection.
It was about the close of the sixth day and the beginning of the 7th that God created Adam and Eve and placed them in the Garden of Eden in a perfectly happy and rested from His work. God rested in the sense that He did not employ His power to overthrow sin and uplift mankind but rested the matter in the hands of Jesus to be accomplished through His sacrifice for sin.
It was practically six days of 7000 years each from the beginning of the ordering of earths affairs for man's habitation to the time when he was created. We can imagine the great joy and the keen interest of the Heavenly Host in witnessing the grand climax of the creative week—the happy pair in the image and likeness of their Creator and with powers of procreation. This pair was recognized by Jehovah as being created for His glory (Isiah 43:7). The envy and jealousy of one of the high ranking Angels (Lucifer) was aroused because of the creation of this pair, and pride and selfish ambition lead him to betray his trust and attempt to capture them for himself. The first thing he did was to misrepresent God's character and poison their minds against His righteous law which warned Father Adam that in the day he ate certain fruit in that day he would surely die, Gen. 2:17 day he would surely die, (Gen. 2:17). I beg to say that Adam died in the very day that he sinned. While he lived 930 years he did not live one full day because a day with the Lord is 1000 years (2 Peter 3:8). The Devil told a lie in order to complete his deception; telling Mother Eve that she would not surely die (Gen 3:4.5). All persons who believe that man is more alive in a hell of fire or in a heaven of bliss after death are under the blinding influence of Satan's first old lie, "Thou shall not surely die." God tells us that the wages of sin is death and He desires us to understand that when we die we are dead and the duly hope for life after death is through the resurrection of the dead (Jno. 5:25-28).
With what astonishment the Holy Angels must have looked upon that phase of God's plan which permitted our first parents to fall into sin and disfavor with their creator and note that all this was brought about by one of the high ranking angels, (Lucifer). God could have prevented all of this but for wise purposes He permitted the pride and selfishness of Lucifer to go to seed in the apparent capture of the first pair. While God looked on with apparently inability to cope with the situation this served as a test of the loyalty of the Holy angels. Would they yet remain loyal to a God who apparently had lost control of affaris? or would they decide to follow the example of Lucifer (now Satan) in his rebellion against God?
The angels fully believed they could reform man and bring him back into harmony with God. Jehovah knew they could not but in order that they might convince themselves of that fact they were permitted to have the oversight of man for more than 1,600 years that they might reform him if they could. Satan induced the angels to try a scheme without consulting God as to the wisdom of the plan. He, Satan, suggested that the angels, not having the death sentence passed upon them, marry the daughters of men and produce a race having life everlasting (Gen. 6:2). The whole scheme ended in a miserable failure and instead of man being reformed he became worse; so much so that the bible tells us that the imagination of their hearts were evil continually (Gen. 6:5). Finally the time came for God to show His power and love. We all know the story of the flood and how man was destroyed from the face of the earth save Noah and his family.
One of the characteristics of an angle is the ability to materialize and dematerialize—that is to be able to take the form of a human being and change from that to a spirit form. During the time the angels were trying to reform man they were permitted to materialize and dematerialize. When the flood came all those upon the earth who remained
loyal to Jehovah were permitted to return to their former estate with the Lord, but all those who had schemes of their own and who had married the daughters of men were permitted to dematerialize but denied the privilege of returning to their former estate and they were restrained in chains of darkness unto the Judgment day (Jude, 6 verse). These fallen angels are back of all Christian science work hypnotism, spiritism, Divine healing etc. They are so cunning that many well meaning persons are caught in their net.
At this point of the development of God'sPlan the whole Heavenly Host, except Jehovah, seemed perplexed as to what the next move should be. Man is still in sin and further away from God. The angels have failed to reform him and instead some of them have fallen into sin and lost their first estate. It was a question throughout the Courts of Heaven as to who would be able to redeem man and get some understanding as to what God's plans are concerning Him, (Rev. 5:2 In due time God made it known that there was one worthy to lose the seals of His plans and redeem man from the curse of death. (Rev. 5:5).
Now in the interim before the Great deliverer came to began the earthly phase of the work of redemptionGod was making His pattern, in types and shadows of the things accomplished, wwhen the deliverer, Christ Jesus, came. He gave the Law Covenant to Isreal, throguh Moses, for the purpose of showing them their inability to live righteously and thereby realize the need of a Savior. The Covenant and its ceremonies was also instituted for types andd shadows of good things to come and also to serve as a tutor in preparing the Isrealites to meet the redeemer when He come. Gal. 3: 24, 25.
About 1918 years ago the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lion of the Tribe of Juda appeared on the scene but not in the arrogant manner the most therefore they were not prepared to receive Hi. He came as ababe.
The anger of heathen was ever jeered, and shouted the good news throughout the world; Luke 2: 10, 11. Even since satan got the idea that he was as wise as God, and lied to mother Eve, and got them into trouble. He has bee a most bitter opponent of Jebovah. He has bee on the alert, trying to destroy any seed of the woman that might possible be a deliverer for the race. He has not forgot that God told Him that the seed of the woman would eventually Grfsdhlaet rfem ETAOINSHRDLU bruise his head; Gen. 3:15. He tried to destroy Joseph, Moses, and all the Holy Prophets, Jusus Christ, all the Apostles and the faithful followers of Jesus even to the present time. Through His blinding influence he has arrayed, practically, the whole camp of humanity against the truth because the Truth will make man free; Jno. (8:32). Satan's apparent victory in causing the wicked rulers to crucify Christ and prosecute and even put to death those who try to walk in His footsteps has been overruled for good and instead of doing them harm as is intended such prosecutions and deaths have been the means of helping the faithful to gain the promised reward. God could have destroyed the Devil long age but in His long sighted wisdom. He sees that in Satan's effort to destroy His righteous plans man will learn valuable lessons as to the exceeding sinfulness of sin.
The Lord has told us through plain scriptures, types and shadows, that He has set a time in which He will chain the Devil and let him remain chained for 1,000 years, at the end of which he will be loosed for a little season and thendestroyed in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone—which means the second death—a death from which there will never be a resurrection (Rev. 20:2, 3, 19).
The time when Satan will be chained and his kingdom overthrown and the release of the billions of his captives begin is intimated to be about 3,500 years from the children of Isreal landed into Canaan which would take us to the year 1925.
The Jubilee arrangement was a part of the law. It foreshadowed the restitution to man of all that was lost through the fall of Father Adam. All the Jewish festivals, holidays, sabaths, nd ceremonies as ypes pointed forward to antitypes far grander, larger an higher than those shadows. The apostle Paul assures us that those antitypes will be laden with blessings for matkind when He says that the law foreshadowed good things to come (Heb. 10:1; 8:5—Col. 2:17).
"Verily I say unto you till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one title shall in no wose pass from the law till all be fulfilled" (Mat. 5:18). We see that according to Christ's words
the antitype of the Jubilee arrange ment which was a part of the law must be fulfield. The Jubilee year came around every 50 years and at such times the trumpet was sounded throughout the land announcing the Jubilee year; all mortgaged and sold lands were to be returned and took possession of their old homestead, in fact all had a chance to start life all over again.
"When ye come into the land which I give you then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the Lord; six years shall thou sow thy field and 6 years shall thou prune thy vineyard and gather in the fruits thereof, but in the seventh year (from entering Canaan) shall be a sabbath of rest unto the Lord (Lev. 25:2,3,4). Every seventh year was a sabbath year and 7 times 7 sabbath years equals forty nine years and the 50th year would usher in the the year of Jubilee (Lev. 25:8).
According to Jehovah's plan the children of Isreal were to keep perfectly 70 of these Jubilees at the end of which the great Antitypical Jubilee on world wide scale would be ushered in, but the Jewws were a stiff neck people and desired to have their own way. They kept some of the Jubilee years in a half hearted way and soon failed to give the land its sabath of rest. Therefore the Lord told them that He would punish them for it and give the land its sabath of rest (be sure to read Jer. 25:11—29:10 also 2 Chron. 36:17-21).
The 70 years usually referred to as the 70 years captivity, in Babylon, is scriptorially styled the 70 years desolation of the land. The plain meaning of this 70 years of desolation is that the Isrealites having failed to keep the Jubilee sabath years God put them in prison and kept them there for 70 years that the land might lay desolate and keep the sabath to fulfill three score and ten years Lev. 26:34, 35, 43.
Each year of the 70 years of desolation represented a Jubilee year; in other words Jehovah made that stiff neck people pay off in full. He made them keep a Jubilee sabath year for all those they had half way kept and also for those yet in the future which He knew they would not properly keep.
Since the Lord, through the typical Jubilee arrangement and the 70 years of desolation, has given us the key we can easily locate ourselves upon the stream of time and tell just about when the great Antitypical Jubilee should begin. The typical Jubilee occurred every years, therefore 70 years of desolation, which represented the full number of typical Jubilees from the time the Isrealites landed in Canaan to the time the great Antitype should be ushered in—70 times 50 equals 3,500 years. According to bible chronology 3,500 years from the landing of the Isrealites into Canaan would reach down to 1925. The Jews were a typical people. They represented, in a sense, the world of mankind.
Another important feature of the typical arrangement of Isreal was the slaying of the Pascal Lamb and the deliverance of the typical first born. It was absolutely necessary that the typical First born be delivered before the Isrealites could leave Egypt and go into Canaan to enjoy the typical Jubilee arrangements. So it is in the Antitype. The Lamb of God had to first be slain and all the antitypical First born, the consecrated believers and foot-step followers of Jesus, have taken refuge under the blood of the Lamb during this dark night of the Gospel age and they all must be delivered before the antitypical Isrealites (the world of mankind) can come into the enjoyment of the antitypical Jubilee (Bom. 8:19, 22).
Kind friends I beg of you to picture in your minds the commotion and excitement in the land of Israel when the time came for the sounding of the Jubilee trumpets throughout the country announcing the year of Jubilee; bound servants becoming restless and asserting their rights to freedom and their master in many cases opposing them, husband, wives, daughters and sons hearts filled with joy in sweet anticipation of being reunited to the family; note the home coming of all the living members of the family, and the happy reunion in their old homestead returned to them without a debt; think of them being free to start life all over again. Of course all the members of the family because of distance and other conditions would not arrive at the same time, but oh the sweet thought that the absent one is on the way, and will soon arrive soon. We all must agree that the typical year of Jubilee with the typical people Israel, brought joys to their hearts unspeakable, but I wish to say with all possible earnestness that the antitypical joys that are to be ushered in with the antitypical Jubilee is beyond the ability of

feeble man to express. The antitypical Jubilee trumpets, which is God's Truth, is sounding throughout the length and breadth of the world announcing liberty, justice and equity to all mankindd. The restlessness that is upon the world to day is the result of the sounding of the Jubilee trumpets, and this world-wide commotion will not cease, but will grow worse until the bonds of oppression and injustice are broken. I am glad that restitution to all that was lost in Father Adam will soon be in full swing and the home coming of all the families of the earth begin. In the type, only the living members of the families returned, but in this antitypical Jubilee year, which is a 1000 years long, all the members of the families, both the living and the dead will return home. Have we any scriptures for this? Yes, "If there be no resurrection of the dead then is Christ not risen; and if Christ be not risen, your faith is vain, ye are still in your sins." (1 Cor. 15:13.17). "The hour is coming in which all that are in their graves shall hear His voice and shall come forth unto resurrection of judgment; (Jno. 5:28, 29. I hear some one ask, "Will my friends some of whom were victims of the white plague and other deadly madadies, and who were mere skeletons and frightful to look upon when they died come back just as they went into death?" No thank God they will not return the same as they went into death. They will return with human bodies of flesh and blood, but vigorous and healthy. Have we any scripture for this? Yes, "But God give it a body as it hath pleased Him, and to every seed his own body; (1 Cor. 15:38). You can rest assure dear friends, that a body that pleases the Lord is not a sickly diseased or deformed body.
This brings us to a question that is confusing to many to wit: Is there a second chance for man to gain life everlasting? A simple illustration, I think, will serve to make this question very plain to all who desires to know the truth. Let us suppose that one John Jones and wife committed murder, and are convicted and sentenced to the pen for life; we will further suppose that they had no children before being sent to the pen; and we will again suppose that they were permitted to live together, in the prison, as man and wife, and have children born to them while in the state of condemnation. In the course of time there would be a number of grand and great grand children, all born and raised under that state of condemnation. Now let us suppose further that some good friend arranges for a newww trial for John Jones and wife and also arranges to give their offsprings an opportunity to show their worthiness to be recognized as good that the one who loved them enough to arrange a new trial for them, will be the Judge; and let us suppose that this prospective judge decides to educate a few of John Jones' children to be judges to sit on the bench with him to help judge their case before our minds who is so blind as to content, that Jinho Jones' children, born to him in prison under condemnation, have ever had a trial to prove their worthiness to good citizenship? The cold fact is that they have not and will not have a trial until the day set apart for that purpose; (Act. 17:31.) In the case of John Jones and wife their new trial would be in the nature of a second chance and the only reason that Father Adam is let in on this new trial, is that, while he disobeyed God willfully, he did not have the experience, as the world now has, of the exceeding sinfulness of sin.
The children of John Jones on the day of trial would be having their first chance. John Jones and
❤
wife would correspond to Adam and Eve; their children to the world of mankind, the one who arranged for the new trial to Jesus Christ, the few children taken out and trained for judges would correspond to the little flock, the saints; (1 Cor. 6:2) the time used in selecting and training the few children for judges would represent the gospel Age. The resurrection of the dead is for the very purpose of giving all humanity, not including Father Adam and Mother Eve nor the Little Flock, their first chance for life everlasting.
Coming back to the main part of our discourse, I wish to say that the whole world is longing for peace, lasting peace, but I am sorry to say that such cannot be had until the throned. He is the prime mover of all race hatred, wars, sickness, sorrow, pain, and death. He is being hard pushed by the army of Justice. The big guns of truth are thundering as never before against injustice oppression and error. There will be no armistice between truth and error, justice and injustice. Unconditional surrender or anihilation is the only orders given by the captain of our salvation. Allow me to say that every person even in the humblest walks of life who raises his voice or uses his influence against error and injustice is to that extent taking a shot at Kaiser of Kaisers, the Devil. The time is not long when the glad news will ring out through the whole world that the arch enemy of God and man has been dethroned and chained for 100 years. A short time ago, the world went wild over the signing of the armistice, during that day, every flash over the wire bringing news favorable to peace was hailed with wild applause, and the people tried to demonstrate their feelings of joy in every conceivable way. They were happy even though the broken families were to remain broken, and the millions of dead were not to return. Let us try for a moment to picture what the joys to the worldddddd what the joys to the world will be when Satan with all his agents and all their error, injustice and oppression are dethroned and all the billions of poor humanity began to return home from the land of the enemy, death. This Judiele shout which is soon to take place will not be for 24 hours, nor for one year, but for a thousand years. During this time a New Heaven (new power of spiritual control) and a new earth (new government, based upon love justice and equity) will be in oppression; in other words, then will the whole world well recognize the New Jerusalem coming down to earth and the Tabernacle of God dwelling among men, and there shall be no more sighing, crying, pain or death for the former things will have, all down the ages, been watching with indiscribable interest, the proceedings of God's Great Plan will shout the glad tidings throughout the the Universe when Satans' Empire is overthrown and the world of mankind restored to all that was lost in Eden.
When wee look out upon this wide world and see so much sickness, sorrow, pain, death and destructions of all description, how our poor hearts Jubilee, we are glad to know that the poor, ignorant and oppressed of the whole world, including those that have already gone into death, will soon come into their own, and have a chance to live life over again and gain life everlasting by being obedient to the rules of the New Covenant.
Let us take courage in this hour truth and error, justice and injustice. We should battle with error and injustice on every inch of the ground, and never give up the struggle until the Captain of our salvation says there is enough done.
I beg to remain an humble servant
for the truth,

After reading about the Ardmore Lubricating Oil Co. at Tatum, Okla. I made a visit to Tatum, Dec. 10, and took a good look over the Company's property, and surrounding territory. There are great opportunities for our people to better their conditions if this field is developed. The Company is on a sure foundation, under the management. The oil is SURE THERE. I saw it. The wells and refinery buildings are there, and the machinery coming
I think it a safe investment for our people, and the large acreage owned by the company means millions of dollars for our people.
I can firmly say that Mr. H. E. Baker, Supt. and dManager, Stock Salesman is putting forth every effort to make the Company a grand one for all the people.

If you have not visited our Colored Agricultural and Normal University at Langston, Okla., you should do so at once. You should meet our congenial and pleasant President, J. M. Marquess, and his corps of faithful co-workers.
Physical Culture has recently been added to the courses here. The girls are being developed in a way to fit themselves for the strenuous reconstruction days to come.
Uniforms are being put upon the boys and correct carriage and high spirits are resulting therefrom.
Domestic Science is being taught and applied in a practical way. These classes prepare the meals for the school.
Domestic Art classes make all the Uniforms for the girls.
The Dairy and Beef herds are in good condition and furnish all the milk and much of the beef for the school.
The Mechanical Department is teaching the theory and doing the practice with such satisfaction that boys forget to quit work on time.
The Band of 27 pieces is the joy and pride of Teachers and Student body.
The Musical Department is attracting a large number of girls into it.
These views of the practical everyday life at the University are indicative of the responsibility the administration is endeavoring to assume in the education of the heart, head and hand of our boys and girls, in order that they may cope with our new social and economic problems which are growing out of this "World War for Domocracy."

The University has contributed a good quota of stalwart and brave young men to the great World War for democracy. She has gone over the top in all the drives.

Established in 1910 by the State Legislature of Oklahoma.
Located in Muskogee County, Ten Miles West of Muskogee,
on the Midland Valley Railroad.
HIGH, HEALTHFUL AND SANITARY.
An institution for the training of the hand and mind of the
Unfortunate Colored Children of Oklahoma.
Wonderful Progress of the D, B. and O, School.
‘This institution was established eight years ago and placed
under the supervision of S, Douglass Russell, who was found-
er of the school, and who served as its first superintendent un-
til seven years ago, when Prof. J. R. Johnson, then assistant
superintendent, was appointed to succeed him. When Prof.
Johnson was appointed superintendent he immediately Inaug-
urated a new system for the conduct and operation of the in-
stitution and following this system step by step has put this
school at the head of the class among the institutions of its
kind in this state.
The records show this school to be nearer self sustains
ing than any of the other state institutions in Oklahoma.
When the present superintendent took charge the school
consisted of one main building and an old two-story frame
building, which was used as a dormitory—one floor for girls
and the other for boys.
This building is now being used as a manual training de-
partment and a new building has been erected for the boys’
dormitory, while the girls’ dormitory is in the main building.
A fine new barn has also been erected to house a number of
fine blooded cows, farm stock, etc., and in which to store the
farm products raised by the school.
Hogs, chickens, ducks and turkeys are plentiful and the
storehouse and cellars are well stocked with a variety of food
supply for the pupils.
The dormitories are kept in the best of sanitary condition
and are at all times clean and inviting.
A representative from the Tulsa Star recently visited this
school and asked to be allowed to go through every department
unannounced and without escort. This was readily granted
by the superintendent and the newspaper man was turned
loose to go as he pleased. After a thorough canvas and inves-
tigation of the grounds, buildings and a few heart-to-heart
talks with boys and girls who are getting their training within
these walls the newspaper man said to Supt. Johnsn:
“Well, sir, you are doing a great work, T have found
things much better here than I had expected.” And so it
seems to be with everyone who visits this school and conducts
an honest investigation. It is nearly always better than they
had expected.
‘The children here are well fed and given just enough exer-
cise, consisting of both work and play, to keep them in healthy,
hearty condition. Their interest is not being neglected by
Supt. Johnson or any of his assistants.
There are now about 130 pupils in this institution, This
number will probably be greatly increased before Spring opens.
The state officials think so well of Prof. Johnson’s work
as Superintendent of this school that they usually grant him
every appropriation he asks for. The present value of the
buildings and grounds is $150,000 and the total appropriations
for 1919-1920, which has been asked for by Supt. fanaa and
recommended by the committee appointed to examine the bud-
gets of the various state institutions will aggregate $100,000.
