First day's session was scheduled to open at 3:30 p. m., but owing to the great interest shown by the assembled teachers in the football contest between Muskogee and Tulsa, the association was not called to order by President Pettus until 4 o'clock. The night session opened at 8:40 o'clock to a full house. All former presidents seated on rostrum. The first selection on the program was a chorus by the Booker Washington School, "Southern Lullaby," which showed good training. Invocation by Rev. W. H. Henderson was follohe by a solo, "Ave Marie," by Miss Mildred Warner, a student of the Luther Schools. She received an encore and responded to same. The welcome address by Prof. J. W. Hughes of Tulsa was listened to by this large body of teachers with much interest and pleasure. His talk was replete with many interesting facts. The response by Miss Juanta Byrd of Sapulpa was very good and made a favorable impression on all. This was followed by a beautiful solo by Miss Partenia Russell, whose voice is indeed a charming one. The President was introduced by Mrs. Scott Brown Brewer, the Vice President, and he proceeded with his annual address. A committee was appointed on the President's address The gem of the evening was a solo, "Villanelle," by Mrs. Berenice Ellis Perdue. The house went wild over her singing, demanded and got an encore, which was even better than the first. Committees appointed: Resolutions. J. Oscar Spencer, Nowata; C. B. Bryant, Luther; J. F.

"Relation of College to the High School." Discussion was begun by Prof. S. E. Shannon of Holdenville. Prof. J. H. Porter followed with some facts which should concern those who foster high school and college. "Each is a link in the educational chain," says Prof. Porter. Prof. R. H. Newhouse finds the relations same as that relation between high school and grammar school. Prof. T. M. White, from his point of view finds that the college should complete what the high school begins. The discussion was closed by Prof. S. L. Hargrove, the conductor. "The modern high school is not any longer a preparatory school for the college. It is an education in itself." 2. "How to Improve English in the High School." This discussion was efficiently and Tulsa, Oklahoma Saturday, 4, 1920. onzi Fou ound BRIEF NOTES OF STATE TEACHERS' ASS'N Mrs. L. C. Clark of Muskogee led the association with the community sonh "Everybody Neighbors" and a round "lovely evening," which seemed to pleas every one. The afternoon session began with a chorus by the Sand Springs Glee Club, which called for an encore, which they rendered to the pleasure of all present. Prof. W. A. Hill of Oklahoma City gave a good talk on how teachers may help on extension work. The Jeannes Fund and the Rosenwald Fund were explained in a satisfactory manner by Mrs. Harriet Ascraft of Guthrie. After the singing of community songs, President Marquis of Langston University was introduced by President Pettus and gave a very interesting talk on points developed at Inter-Racial Congress in Atlanta, Ga. He used the words in chorus of community song which said, "Let us get together, work together, play together, pull together, etc. His talk aroused much enthusiasm in the audience. The President appointed the following committee to confer on how the association can best help Langston University: Prof. Fort, Mrs. McRiley, Mrs. Ethel Brewer White. Here cane a demonstration of physical culture and foll. dancing from Sand Springs which was indeed fine. At noon the ladies of the association were called in meeting by Mrs. L. C. Clark of Muskogee, and there they discussed many things which bore good fruit. There seemed to be more interest in the election, judging by the number of teachers congregated in the halls, than in the Departmental work. This is a pity, for teachers spend so much money to attend this association they certainly ought to get something in return for their time and money. Three departments were largely attended and were well worth the attention of all, i. e. Primary, Grammar and High School. The demonstrations were good. The children used in demonstrations did not seem cowed down, but were bright and alert. Singing by Booker Washington H. S. Chorus opened the evening session. The address on "Educational Measurements" by City Superintendent Oberholtzer was indeed fine and gave teachers some fine thoughts to take home. The vocal solo by Mr. Alonzo Lewis was very good. The teachers of Tulsa gave a swell banquet at the Stafford Hotel that proved that Tulsa is at the head of the list in hospitality. The hall and tables were beautifully decorated and the menu unsurpassed. The next meeting place is Muskogee, and we'll have to "put the big pot in the little one" to beat Tulsa. Muskegue, Dec. 3—The death of Mrs. Sarah Dawson, one of the best known and widely beloved women of this community, was indeed quite a shock to her numerous friends. The respect in which she was held was shown by the large attendance at her funeral and the many handsome floral offerings The funeral of Mrs Sarah Dawson will be held this morning at 11 o'clock, at Bebee Memorial C. M. E. Church, South Seventh street and Midland Valley R. R. She was the mother of 14 children, 9 of which survive her. There also were 30 grandchildren and 36 great grand children. She was 81 years of age. Miss Jane Dancy of Oklahoma City was in the city last week attending the Teachers' Association. While here she was the guest of Miss Mattie Mitchell, 512 N. Hartford. ```markdown ``` --- Doctor is Convicted For Getting Money in "Con" Game CHICAGO, Dec. 3—Dr. J. Elbert Gibbinson, Colored described as "Chicago's Colored Ponzi," was found guilty by a jury today of operating confidence game. Dr. Robinson, testimony showed, claims the American Car and Foundry Company iwed him Ten Thousand Dollars $10,000,000) for infringement of patents for a hard iron wheel," and that he had suits pending to collect the money. To raise money for the alleged purpose of prosecuting the suits he sold his notes, telling purchasers that the notes constituted a lien against the money he claimed due him. The notes were generally executed for from 10 to 15 times the amount he received from the buyer, th difference constitutinf the purchaser's profit when, and if the courts decided in the "doctor's" favor. Testimony showed that hundreds of people, both white and Colored, had given Robinson money in exchange for the notes. During the trial Robinson was transported to and from the court building in an imported racing car driben by a liveried chauffeur. Dr. Robinson promised a "huge rich dinner at the Auditorium hotel" to those who were instrumental in the recovery of his rights. interestingly begun by Mabel Grace Andrews of Tulsa. Many practical facts were brought out by Miss Andrews. Emphasis was placed upon extensive reading supervised by the English teacher as a means of improving English in the high school. Mrs. L. E. Person of Boley urges co-operation of entire faculty with the English teacher. Prof. W. C. Jones of Claremore finds that the English supervision should go out on the play-grounds. Prof. D. G. Horton, Guthrie, indorsed the opinion of Prof. Jones. "Correction of English in all subjects, be it mathematics, science, or what not, should be made," adds Prof. Horton. 3. "Should Latin Be Abolished in High School?" Opened by Prof. N. J. Ceasar, Shawnee. Prof. Ceasar stated very clearly the history of the question. "Efficiency in English depends largely upon one's knowledge of Latin," says Prof. Caesar. Latin should not be abolished. Prof. D. W. Lewis finds that Latin should be elective. "Latin should be a very secondary subject," says Prof. Lewis. Prof. O. H. Hutton, Atoka, strongly defended the high schools which maintain Latin. Prof. J. A. T. West, Tulsa, gave his opinion on the subject. Subject was closed by the conductor. Prof. S. L. Hargrove. 4. "Should there be a difference between the Curriculum of the Negro Schools and the White Schools?" Six minutes were given to this sub Six minutes were given to this subject. All agreed that the Negro Curriculum should be even better. Meeting adjourned after a profitable session. R. E. ILES, Boley, Reporter. GOOD WORK SHOWN BY MUS KOGEE CHARITIES Thanksgiving Day among at least twenty destitute colored families was a day of real thanksgiving, reports Mrs. L. M. Banks, Superintendent of the Colored Associated Charities. Over $00 worth of groceries, besides numerous articles of clothing, was distributed. Twenty children and thirty adults were the recipients. Donations for Christmas distribution will be appreciated. Noted Educator Honored. Savannah, Ga.—The Golden Anniversary of the entry of President Richard R. Wright, upon his career as teacher, was celebrated last Thursday from eight to eleven p. m. in Savannah, Ga. It is a fine testimony to the aggressive work of Dr. Wright in the educational field to have served that long, and so well honored for the service he has rendered.

Mr. Hill Finds Welcome in Bartlesville MIXED AUDIENCE HEARS TULSA MAN DISCUSS THE BIBLE FROM STANDPOINT OF INTERNATIONAL BIBLE STUDENTS. Pastor of Methodist Church Let Down Bars and Welcomes Messenger of Truth. Bartlesville, Okla., Dec. 3. A deal of interest has been aroused among the people of both races in Bartlesville by the lecture of Hon. Richard J. Hill of Tulsa, who delivered an impressive lecture here Sunday on the Bible, choosing for his subject "Millions Now Living Will Never Die." His lecture had been advertised to be held in a public hall, but on the urgent invitation of Rev. G. W. Washington was changed to the Methodist church of which Rev. Washington is pastor. A large audience of both white and colored people heard Mr. Hill and all of them were manifestly impressed with his lecture. Among those who heard him were some of the intellectual lights of this city, including lawyers, doctors and bankers. That the Tulsa man, who is a noted International Bible Student, made a lasting impression on the minds of his audience was proven by favorable comments by people of both races following the lecture. At the conclusion of the lecture Rev. Washington arose and said to his congregation: "You came out today expecting to hear me preach a sermon but I am satisfied you have heard enough, and that you have enjoyed what you have heard from this great man of God and I am not going to spoil the effects of his lecture by attempting to preach," whereupon the audience was dismissed. Rev. Washington again extended a standing invitation to Mr. Hill to hold future meetings in his church and promised his hearty co-operation. The Exhibits of the Sand Springs Schools attracted general attention and were of higher merit. 61 Larger Circulation than all the combined Colored Weeklies or Oklahoma.

NUMBER FORTY FOUR s2531.84 Millions Now Living and Walking About Upon the Earth Will Never Die and Go Into the Grave WHICH ROAD ARE YOU TRAVELLING; THE BROAD WAY OR THE NARROW WAY? "Wide is the Gate of Destruction and Broad the Way Leading Thither; and many are they who Enter Through it. How Narrow is the Gate of Life; how Difficult the Way Leading Thither! And how Few Who Find it" (Matt. 7: 13:14 Diaglott) The great Master here mentioned two ways or courses that man takes one, the broadway leading to destruction and the other a narrow gate leading to life. For many centuries the preachers of the Church Denominations have taught the people that the broadway leads to lakes of fire and brimstone where the poor creatures roast and stew and bake for ever and everand that the narrow way means to get into Denominational System and escape such a place. They certainly have been and are a fine bunch of poor blind guides and all who follow their teachings are sure to reach the place mentioned in Matt. 15:14—tumble into the ditch of sore disappointment. The broadway to destruction opened up at the time Adam was driven from Garden of Eden. Because of his sin he was condemned to death and all of his offsprings came under his condemnation. All of these have been going down to destruction—not eternal torture. For more than six thousand years they have been going to the Bible hell, the grave, the tomb the place of destruction (Psalms 90:3; 146:4; Ecc. 9:5-10) This way leading to destruction was the only way for man to go from the creation of Adam until Christ Jesus came and the vast multitudes who have not known and accepted Christ since He has come have all likewise gone that same way; but this does not mean that they shall not return again. The great mass of mankind have gone that way ignorant of the fact that any provision has been made for their salvation and return. God plainly promised to redeem man that is to say purchase him from the grave, the tomb the Bible hell and to destroy death. "I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death." I will redeem this his purpose for the merit of Jesus' sacrifice. When Jesus came He brought to light the fact that God has a plan for rescue men from the great broadway of destruction and bringing them to life; that in the outworking of this plan He will grant to some the blessings of immortality and the ones who attain the great prize of immortality are the ones who enter the narrow way of life described by the Master. (1st Timothy 2:10) The great mass of mankind is yet ignorant of this provision for life. Their ignorance is due to the prevalence of sin the influence of sin the influence of the adversary through ignorant teachers and to the fact that it is not yet due time that they shall know. The due time however is near even at the door. The greater light is now beginning to break and shine into the hearts of the people and many are coming to a knowledge of the fact that millions now living and walking about upon earth will never die and go into the grave. God purposed before the foundation of the world to develop a new Creation designation as the Royal Priesthood or Holy people peculiarly built up into Christ Jesus (1st Peter 2:5-10). Jesus was the head or chief corner stone of this new arrangement. The value of his ransom sacrifice is used for their benefit during the Gospel Age. The Narrow way opened means a way leading to Heaven, to membership into the body of Christ. The way is narrow and difficult and few find it because few are willing to conform themselves to the terms. Any one who does so must follow in tre footsteps of Jesus. Jesus, when on earth was a perfect man and as such was entitled to all honors, glory and praise that the peoples might bestow upon a perfect man. He could easily have had the whole human race at his feet, doing his biddings and been the most honored person in all the earth. But that was not the purpose of His coming here. "He came not to be ministered unto but to minister, and to give his life as a purchase price for mankind as a ransom, Matt. 29:28) He denied himself of all these earthly honors and glory that a perfect man might have. He denied himself pleasures that might come to a perfect human being, legitimately indeed for the perfect man. He surrendered his human will, making it entirely submissive to Jehovah's will. He endured great contradictions among sinners, great afflictions in order that he might learn to be a sympathetic High Priest to the poor human race, he their Redeemer and ultimately their unlifter and blesser. During the Gospel Age if one approached the Lord desiring to enter this narrow way leading to life and into Heaven itself, Jesus has said to him "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. for whosoever will save his life shall find it. (Matt. 16:24-25) Jesus means by these words that those who would enter this narrow way must deny themselves as He denied Himself, must daily do the Father's will amidst a wicked and perversed generation and that he who would sacrifice his earthly hopes and earthly likes because of his love for the Lord and righteousness should find life on a higher plain, namely the plain of Diyine nature. It is only the true Christian that follows in the footsteps of Jesus, who enters the narrow way and keeps it. Such Christians learn that there is a clear distinction between a Church member and a Christian. A Church member is one who unites himself with some earthly organization and conforms his life, in a measure at least to the Church's rules and systems in order that he might have some respectability in the community in which he lives. A true Christian is one who, having fully consecrated his life to do the will of God, becomes zealous for good works, loves the Lord and loves the truth and is willing to undergo trying circumstances and sufferings in order that he might have the Divine approval. The way is made narrow and difficult to keep in because it is a way of suffering. It is not popular to be a true Christian and never has been. Jesus was not popular among the leading classes in His time. In his day the ruling classes consisted of these three: The Kink and his household, namely the professional politicians of that time; the wealthy learned and influential ones, such as the Pharisees, and Princesses, constituting the financial power; and the Priestly class, constituting the preachers or Ecclesiastical element. The three formed an unholy alliance and they persecuted RICHARD A. R. W. K. RICHARD J. HILL the Master. They abused Him; thy called Him a Devil, a liar; a blasphemer; a glutton; charged him with the crime of sedition and caused him to be put to death. When Jesus said, "If any man will come after me he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." He meant that the true Christian would have similar experiences. He said the Disciple is not above his Master and the servant not above his Lord. It is not enough for the disciple that he be as his Master and the servant as his Lord. If they have called the Master of the house beelzebub how much more shall they call them of his household? (Matt. 10:24-25) Again, he spoke of the three classes above named as the world—those having a spiritual contrary to the Church. These find a counterpart in our present day. The Professional politicians, big business and the Ecclesiastical leaders, have joined to together in an unholy alliance and they persecedde the himbule followers of Jesus. Evidently Jesus had in mind such a class when He said: "If the world hate you know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love its own, but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world therefore the world hated you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also." (John 15:18-20) Again, in referring to the events that would transpire at the end of the world where we now are he said: "Then shall they delivered you up to be afflicted and shall kill you and ye shall be hated by all nations for my name's sake;" and then added "But He that shall endure to the end shall be saved," meaning --- oon the d Go Into the Grave that those who ultimately find life at the end of the narrow way will be few and will be those who will endure faithfully hardships, trials persections because they love the Lord more than they love any earthly thing. When the last one has entered into life through the straight and narrow way, and the Lord's Kingdom is established that His will shall be done in earth as it is in heaven then a great and mighty high way will be opened for the purpose of blessing the people and bringing back the millions thus have gone down the great broadway of destruction. Or this the Prophet wrote: "And an highway shall be there as a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those; the wayfaring men, though fools shall err thereas (Isaiah 35:8) The highway referred to here means the Divine arrangement for the recovery of the Human race, based upon the Ransom sacrifice of Jesus of Nazareth. First the millions on earth living when the Kingdom is established, shall be brought to a knowledge of the fact that the way leading to life, a way of holiness has now been opened and it will be made so clear that at that time that a wayfaring man, even though an ignorant preacher, shall be able to understand it. In truth and in fact there will be no preacher going about then collecting enormous sums of money from the people and inveigling them to join their organization but such men will have to hunt an honest vocation and humble themselves like others and learn that the great Messiah has taken unto himself His great power and is reigning. The ninth verse of this Prophecy of the Lord says: "No lying shall D. J. HILL be there nor any ravenous beast shall go thereon it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there. A lion is a strong, vicious ravenius beast and in symbol illustrates the beastly manner in which affairs have been conducted by men. None such w.' be permitted when the highway of Holiness is opened. There will be no bloated bond holders, who will hammer up the Liberty Bonds when they want to sell them and hammer them down when they want to buy them; there will be no persons then who will be permitted to put the price of farm products down beneath a living price after they have squeezed it out of poor farmers for practically nothing; there will be none who will be permitted to place exhorbitant rents upon their houses and force the poor people to pay that rent; there will be no prifteers who will dump the food into the sea in order to make the price of what is left remain high. The Great Master will permit nothing of this kind but every one will be required to deal righteously with his neighbor because the Lord will be ruling all and such rule will be a righteous one. "With righteousness shall He judge the poor and reprove with justice the meek of the earth; and He shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth (that is teach them the truth) and with tie breath of his lips will he slay the wicked systems and organizations. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his reigns." (Isaiah 11:4-5) Surely the Inter Church World Movement which includes the great system of Church Denominations, cannot say consistenaly that it is in viting people of th narrow way that leads to life, they deny such as the THE TULSA STAR. Saturday. Dec. 4. 1920. hishway of Hilintss because they deny restitution blessings. There fore according to their own conduct they must admit that they are going the broadway that leads to destruction, which is the truth. The blind guides are leading the blind followers and they shall go into the ditch (Matt. 15:14). What the people need is knowledge. There is indeed now a famine in the land for want of the knowledge of the truth just as the Lord foretold it would be. (Amos 8:11) The people are famishing for a knowledge of God's plan, and yet the Inter Church World Readers say, we agree to ignore the Dictrines. We thank God for the highway of Holiness that shall soon be established and for the abundance of truth that shall feed the poor starved and hangry people! What the true Christian now in these Church Demoninations and Inter Church World Movement should do is to heed the voice of the Lord; "Come out of her my people that ye be not partakers of her sins and receive not of her plagues." (Rev. 18:4) Come out of these false systems before you go into the ditch of great disappointment with them. Not only come out yourself but learn the Lord's Plan and teach it to others for their comfort and strength. Let them know that the Lord is now taking unto himself his great power and restitutional blessings are at hand and that millions now living on the earth will never die if they avail themselves of the opportunity for everlasting life, liberty and happiness.

The iron must be struck while it is hot, there must be no margin of time to retinue the charge or to reconcile public scrutiny of the Wolf! work on first alarm, stamped the crowd, even if there is no wolf. But the bunging dastardly did not know his game, frightuous strategy trumpeter over dastardly cunning. With amazing celerity of action the charge was retuled as soon as made. The dastardly deed rebounded to the shame of the doer. Never before and yet us hope, never again will any political party sink to such a low level of infamy. Blessed are ye when men shall revive you and say al manner of evil against you falsely. With righteous indignation against the methods of the character assassin, the American people with all but I voice sweeps harrowing into the White House assured that his purity of blood is as unblemished as his spotlessness of character. The country is safe, the Republican party is victorious, and the honor or the white race is secure. But what of the Colored man? Is he supposed to be endowed with ordinary human pride and sensibilities? To him the defense is, if anything, more insulting than the attack. Why should it be considered more heinous than than any crime to possess a trace of Colored blood I doubt whether any race since human civilization begins has ever been placed under such a ban of opprobrium. It is the boast of statesmen that men of renown that they carry in their veins a blend of indian blood. But one drop that flows from African veins vittates ten times its own volume of any other strain. Against this assumption the Colored man rebels with all the adlor and indignation of which is nature is capable. Can the Colored man be expected to share in the derogation of his own blood? Is his color of his own choosing? He is wholly guiltless of the stain for which he is stigmatized. Pigmentation affects the color of the body, but not the quality of the soul. Were Dumas and Douglas and Dunbar accursed of God and unworthy of honor and esteem because of their sable hue? Shall we be expected to give higher need of glory to Plato and Shakespeare and Jesus because their skin was white? Perish the thought! Such self-abasement would compromise the Colored man's self respect and hypothecate all hope. The Ten Commandments assure us that the Father of all Haces and Breeds of man visits the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of them that love. The Constitution of the United States forbids the attainment of blood so that the political and legal sins of the fathers may not be visited upon the children. Must the Colored man of all men stand doomed to eternal infamy from the foundation of the world to the end of time.? There can be no satisfactory solution of the race problem while this notion prevails. In the face of its inexorable exactions of our little paliatives and programs are as inefficient as the application of emollients to the hopeless consumptive. From an inherent sense of self-respect and in vindication of the essential clams of humanity the Colored man must insist that his blood is as good as any which courses thru human veins. (Signed) KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C. STICK TO YOUR JOB (By The Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Ill., Dec. 3—Fearing wide spread unemployment of Colord men and women in Chicago, the Urban League of this city is issuing a weekly bulletin, setting forth the labor conditions as reflected by the work of its industrial department. The following significant statements are taken from the League's first bulletis. "The League is sending out a general warning to all workers to stick to their jobs. In reminding men and women that this is no time for change, a bulletin of the League states that "Out of telephone calls to 27 plants on one morning, only 4 jobs were obtained. These were reluctantly given the League for "Old Time's sake," and not because the men were actually needed. At several plants there were more than 200 men outside of the gates looking for employment. Wages are being reduced in certain plants and the working forces of others are being materially decreased. One plant that had been hiring some six or eight hundred Colored men will be closed from Wednesday of this week until Monday of next week." Prof. W. H. Fort of Okmulgee was a welcome visitor at Star Office last Saturday. OKLAHOMA STATE NEWS OF INTEREST REVIEW OF EVENTS IN THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA TENANTS OCCUPY FARMS LeFlore County Leads In Number; Oil and Cotton Counties Fewest Landlords In Country. Tenants operate more than half the farms in Oklahoma, according to 1920 census figures recently compiled. The report shows 190,983 farms in the state; 92,961 operated by owners and 97,123 by tenants. LeFlore county leads in the number of farms, with 4,982, drops to second place in the number operated by owners and regains first place with 3,058 in the tenant column. Bryan county is first in the number cultivated by owners, for out of 4,547, owners are on 2,354. Tenants occupy 2,193. Washington county has fewer farms than any other county. Out of 726 tenants occupy 378 and owners 348 Lincoln county ranks third in the number of farms, with 4,545; 2, 363 occupied by owners and 2,182 by tenants. Southeastern Oklahoma counties have smaller but more farms than any other section of the state. In the western part and in some of the northern counties, where the majority of the land is owned by Indians, the farms are larger. In these counties, the report shows, more farms are operated by owners than in any other section. In the central part of the state, landlord and tenant are almost equally divided. In Cimmaron county, nearly five times as many owners as tenants. This county was formerly in "no man's land," and, while it has been open for settlement a number of years is still in a state of development that many other counties passed at a younger age. Texas and Beaver counties show like averages. With the exception of Oklahoma county, every country in which is located a city of importance has a majority of tenants. Oklahoma county however, has 768 more landlords on farms than tenants. Oil counties are ahead of cotton counties in the number of tenants, as compared to landlords. In Tulsa county, of the 1,625 farms, only 601 are operated by owners and in Oknulgge county the average is even lower. On the 1,865 farms, 1,437 are under care of tenants. Muskegee, Wagoner and Rogers counties show about the same average. RULING SAVES GRADY CO. Act Declaring Raw Farm Products Subject to Tax, Is Void. Chickasha.—The decision of the state supreme court in declaring that raw farm products are subject to taxation and holding an act of the 1915 legislation unequivocal, will save the taxpayers of Grady county several hundred thousands dollars, according to William Stacey, county attorney, who, with J. Roy Orr, assistant county attorney, represent the county in the case recently won in the supreme court. By virtue of the rendering of this decision, the county treasurer is enabled to distribute 182,652.95, representing the 1918-1919 taxes paid by the Chickasha Cotton Oil company and the Chickasha Milling company. The amount was paid into the county treasurer when due but was not distributed pending the outcome of the litigation involving the constitutionality of the act of the legislature sought to exempt raw products from taxation. The 1920 taxes which will swell the county's treasury several thousand dollars, are not yet due. According to County Attorney Blacey, the $182,652.95 being held in abeyance by the county treasurer will be distributed as follows: state, $17, $66.13; Chickasha school district, $58, $10.98; city of Chickasha, $53,087.92; Grady county, $53,087.92. Interest Shown at Tulsa in Spanish Tulsa.—Interest in Spanish is being manifested here by oll men as well as students in the Tulsa high school. A Spanish class has been established at the Y. M. C. A. and Miss Rowena Galloway, the 'hi' instructor is directing both classes.

The examination was called at the request of the postmaster general. The office at Shawnee pays $3,300 a year, while Devol and Walters pay $2,300 and $2,500 respectively. Poultry Show in December. Vinita.—The fifth annual poultry show of the Craig County Poultry association will be held here December 6, 7 and 8. Mrs. John Franklin is show superintendent, with Wright Duprce as assistants.

Saturday, Dec. 4, 1920 SPEED DEMONS ARE KILLED DRIVER AND MECHANICIAN DIE IN THE CRASH 100,000 Spectators Witness Collision of Two Cars Speeding At a Terrific Speed. Los Angeles, Cal.—With Gaston Chevrolet, national auto race champion pilot, and Lyle Joles, mechanician for Eddie O'Donnell, lying dead in a Los Angeles morgue, and O'Donnell said to be dying in a field hospital at the track, Roscoe Sarles, with tears streaming down his face nodded his head as the checkered flag denoting the winner fell in front of him as he crossed the line at the finish of the annual 250-mile race over the Beverly Hills speedway. The annual speed classic, which cost the life of one of the most famous pilots in the world, and which is expected to cost the life of another almost equally well known driver within a few hours was won by Sarles in two hours, twenty-five minutes and twenty seconds, an average of 103.2 miles an hour. Thousands See Accident. More than 100,000 spectators, lining the big mile-and-a-quarter speedway, gasped with horror as the cars of Chevdolet and O'Donnell came together at the east end of the stand as the pilots were completing the 147th lap of the 200 lap grind. Both were traveling at terrific speed and as they crashed both were thrown high in the air, turning turtle and rolling to the bottom of the incline where both polots and mechanicians were buried under the wreckage. Chevrolet was instantly killed and Joles died shortly after his removal to the field hospital. O'Donnell was terribly injured, suffering a fractured skull, both arms broken, and internal injuries. His body was a mass of cuts and bruises. An operation was decided upon later in an effort to save his life, although attending physicians held but little hope for his recovery. John Bresnahan, mechanician for Chevrolet escaped with slight injuries. Scarcely a cheer greeted Sarles as he crossed the line a winner. The winning pilot pulled up at the turn and with tears streaming down his oil and dust-stained face asked for details of the accident and the condition of the injured men. In marked contrast to previous races where the winners have been enthusiastically acclaimed by hero-worshiping thousands, the huge filed silently out of the oval and those few who would have mounted the winner on their shoulders, Sarles waved away with the comment that he did not feel like celebrating. It developed at the end of the race that Chevirolet had won the national automobile racing championship for 1920 on a point basis, Roscoe Sarles winner of the race being far behind. BREAK GASOLINE RECORDS Billions of Gallons Refined During September. Washington—All gasoline output records were broken during the past year, the bureau of mines announced. Refineries produced a daily average of 15,000,000 gallons, making the total for the first nine months of 1920 3,500,000,000 as compared with 2,500,000,000 gallons during the same period in 1919. Consumption and exports continued high, however, the bureau said, so that while storage tanks on September 8 held 298,000,000 gallons, the amount on hand then was actually less than that on hand August 30. Exports for the first nine months of 1919 amounted to 465,439,992, almost 200,000,000 gallons more than was sent abroad during the same period in 1919. HOGS TO PRE-WAR PRICE Increased Shipments From Farm is Factor That Forces Decline. Chicago—Pre-war prices for live hogs became general throughout the United States. But receipts from the farms appeared to be the immediate cause, the total supply of hogs sale at the ten principal markets of the country being estimated at 182,000 head, as against 124,000 a week ago. In Chicago the market closed at the bottom figures of the day, the lowest since December 16, 1918. The practical top at the finish was $10 at hundred weight, whereas on July 31, 1919, hogs commanded $33.60, the pinnacle point on record. Five years before the curretn price was $8.15.

HAMON OKLAHOMA NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN AND MULTIMILLIONAIRE ACCIDENTAL GUN WOUND FATAL Many Prominent Men of the Nation Attended the Funeral of Noted Oil Man and Railroad Operator. Ardmore, Okla.—Jake L. Hamon, republican national committeeman, died here of a pistol wound received Sunday night, Nov. 21. According to Frank L. Ketch, his business manager, the wound resulted from the "accidental discharge" of a gun which Mr. Hamon was cleaning. All trains and transportation on the 110 miles of railroad owned by Jake L. Hamon stopped, and operations on all leases of the Hamon interests shut down for a period of one hour, from 8 until 3 o'clock Nov. 29, in respect to the funeral of the republican national committeeman and deceased owner of these interests, who died Nov. 26 as the result of an alleged "accidental discharge" of a pistol. Men prominent in the business and political affairs of the nation attended Mr. Hamon's funeral. Last minute sickness in the families of some of the prominent men who had expected to attend prevented several from coming. In 1896 he was graduated from the law department of the Kansas state university, and immediately after his graduation, he came down into the territory to seek his fortune, with very little else in his pockets besides his diploma. His first job was as a clerk in a store at Newkirk. When the Kiowa-Conanque country was opened to settlement, Hamon went with the crowd of new settlers to Lawton, and there became Lawton's first city attorney, taking a prominent part in the organization of Lawton's city government. Hamon was a doer of big things. One of his first big ventures, was an attempt at the building of a couple of railroads, one from Lawton to Ardmore, and another from Wichita Falls, Texas, to Oklahoma City. This project brought him a good deal down in the southern part of the state and he spent several futile years trying to get his paper roads bonded. Then he became disgusted and con- T. E. Jake L. Hamon included he would just start on the job himself, so, with John Ringling of New York City, the circus man, as a banker, he built, by dent of hard work, thirty-one miles of good railroad from Ardmore to Ringling. Building railroads was one of Mr. Hamon's chief hobbies, it seems, and when he died he was perhaps the only individual owner of any railroad in the world, an honor brought to him when he purchased the Hamon-Kell road in Texas. Mr. Hamon made his first venture in the oil game when the Healdton field came into prominence as a prospective producer. When the first Healdton oil was brought in Hamon went over to that territory "to look things over." He did not get as excited as the other operators in the field and pursue what might be termed a Fabian policy. He did not appear as desirous of getting rich "too quick." So he just waited for a spell and watched them bring in one well after another. Then, realizing that the fellows who were bringing them in were generally at their ropes' end for ready cash, he "got a wise" hunch on the propinquity of his old friend "opportunity." He began to buy production and bought it at a very low figure. Then, by selling it high, he amassed a fortune of $5, 000,000 within a period of three years. Oil Fire At Houston. Houston, Texas.—Twenty-four storage tanks containing 190,000 gallons of lubricating oil belonging to Humble Oil, and Refining company were destroyed here by fire. The loss is estimated at $200,000. Dr. Stephanek Arrives in U. S. New York.—Dr. Roeriek Stephanek, newly appointed Czecho-Slovakian minister to the United States, arrived here on the steamship Argentina from Trieste.

Adkinson, commissioner of fire and police, after receiving word from W. D. Matthews, state commissioner of charities and corrections, that insects still were inhabiting the city jail, although that place had been painted, oasismined, disinfected and otherwise treated for the extermination of insects, small and large. So another effort is being made by police to eradicate the pests from the jail so that Rev. Matthews may depart in peace after his next inspection. INDIANOLA GIN CUTS PRICE Decrease Believed to Be Beginning of General Relief of Situation. McAlester, The Bynum Gin company near here, announced a price of 80 cents a hundred, a 10-cent reduction. This is the first break in a situation which has been tense here and presses other reductions and an immediate opening of better relations between farmers and gin men, according to both sides. Couple Say "18" Is Lucky. Couple say it is lucky. Henryytta - Thirteen has figured strongly in the family of Claude Peters and wife living near Henryytta, the last thirteen years. A baby girl weighing thirteen pounds, and the thirteenth child of the family, arrived on the twenty-sixth anniversary of their wedding, which is thirteen multiplied by two. The couple are in no wise superstitious, and refuse to speak of their number of children's as, baker's dozen, as has been suggested by friends, but boast of the number thirteen. Craig Farms Not Idle. Vinita.—There is not an idle farm in Craig county, says George Thomas, county farm agent. He has just finished a search for a farm for a relative and has had to advise the man to go to an adjacent county. STATE HOUSE NEWS Injured Workers to Receive State Aid Cooperation between the state industrial commission and the state board of vocational education in helping persons injured in industrial accidents was agreed upon at a conference between members of the two agencies. Oklahoma soon will receive $13,500 from the federal government to be spent for vocational rehabilitation. Governor Robertson accepted the federal appropriation by a formal statement several weeks ago directed that the two state industrial agencies should unite to work with federal organization in using the money. The final condition attached to the appropriation was met by the meeting, it was said, and the money is expected to be deposited with the state treasurer within a short time. Opportunity for injured persons to earn trades for which they may be fitted will be provided with the federal money, it is planned. Compensation for accidents paid by order of the industrial commission may be used to maintain the injured person while free instruction is given in a new means of livelihood.

Lansing --- CHAIR OF THEOLOGY IN STATE BAPTIST COLLEGE To the Pastors and Ministers of Oklahoma, Greetings: Pursuant to a vote of the Baptist State Convention of Oklahoma in its recent sitting at Oklahoma City, the Executive Board of said convention when it meets on Friday and Saturday before the first Sunday in December, will take under advisement the feasibility of installing in Baptist State College in the very near future a chair of Theology with a regular theological professor in charge. In order that the Executive Board may have something to guide it in its deliberations relative to this point, the president of the college is hereby asking those ministers who will and feel that they can be depended upon to take the course if it is offered to kindly send in their applications to him at once. In this connection permit me to call your attention to the fact that 100 double entre school desks have been ordered and received. This makes quite an addition to our limited equipment here. Only the freight and transfer charges on those desks have been paid. The first payment was to have been made on Nov. 1, but as the desks were not received until after the first I am released from making the Nov. payment, I am making an effort, however, to raise $600.00 by Jan. 1, 1921 in order to make the first payment. To this end, I am trying to send a personal letter to 60 pastors and others asking them to raise from their Sunday Schools etc. $10.00 each and send to mt by Jan. 1, 1921. Whether you have received a personal letter or not will you, as soon as you read this appeal, let me hear from you as to what I may expect of you in this matter? Your boys and girls are coming to us and we are determined to make their coming worth while. Kindly let me hear from you at once. Yours for a real college. M. H. ELDRDGE. President. T. J.

CHICAGO'S NEW BUSINESS VENTURE (By the Associated Negro Press.) Chicago; Ill., Nov. 3.—Collared business interests, in this city are being stirred to great activity by the launching of a new business idea by J. L. Lane, promoter of the United Workingmen's Mercantile Company, one of the leading and most wide awake Colored business men in Chicago, Mr. Lane proposed posed the operation of a chain of stores, by numbers of the race, that will extend throughout the entire country. The plan has already made a big hit and there are abundant indications that the idea will be an established fact before many more months are passed. As designed by the originator of the plan includes an opportunity for the rank and file of the people to become shareholders in the business through a popular subscription which will be safeguarded by ample bond security provided by the promoter and the officials of the corporation.

Spreading Christmas Joy CHRISTMAS is not always a brief period of joy and happiness to every home. Poverty and its attending ills take all the joy out of life in many homes, even here in Tulsa where evidences of great wealth and riches abound; but, thank God and Daddy Welch, every such home in Tulsa will be remembered Christmas day. Too much can hardly be said in commendation of the Tulsa County Humane Society in its work for the unfortunate side of humanity. And right here the Tulsa Star desires to laud Mr. Weich and his assistants for the splendid work they have done for the poor people of all classes in Tulsa in the past. In their zeal to administer to the needy they have worked indiscriminately and impartially irrespective of race or color. We desire also to commend the few Colored men of this city who have aided in this good work by contributing money. It is a reflection on us as a class, however, that we have not given to this worthy cause in proportion to the good we have received from it. It is a well known fact that people of our group draw heavily on the Humane Society and none of them are ever turned away. Far more of them, in proportion, than any other class, no doubt, and for this reason, along with others, the Colored people of Tulsa should be liberal contributors to the Tulsa County Humane Society. There are a number of men and women among us who are able to give in denominations of three figures and not hurt themselves, but we doubt that any of these have contributed anything to help allay the suffering of humanity in this community. Probably it is because they have not thought of their less fortunate neighbors, or maybe they have not been approached and solicited. These are poor excuses, however, for the man or woman who is able to do a lion's share of charity work, but who has failed to do anything. We hope every man and woman among us who is able to give One Dollar (and any of us can give this amount will not wait to be called on, but will at once call this office—Osage 931—or the Humane office—Osage 824—and pledge at least one dollar to the society's Christmas fund. The Tulsa Star will lead off with a contribution of $25 in addition to what we have already given. Now who will follow our lead with a greater or smaller amount? In our Christmas Edition, December 18th, we will publish the names of every Colored person who has contributed to this fund, and we sincerely hope every business and professional man or woman and every working man or woman in Tulsa will be represented in that list. While we are planning what valuable presents to give our friends and loved ones, let us in our calculations lay aside one dollar as an individual part of a fund to provide Christmas baskets for the unfortunate poor of Tulsa; not the poor whites or the poor blacks—it is not a matter of race or color—but for all the poor people of a great rich city. While we are anticipating the joy of Christmas morning around our own fireside in comfortable homes where the sting of poverty is not known, let us picture the hundreds of homes in our midst where conditions are the reverse—where there will be no joy, no toys, no presents, no food, no clothing, no sunshine except that contained in the Christmas baskets to be distributed by the Tulsa County Humane Society. Surely after such reflection every able-bodied man and woman in the community will gladly respond with at least one dollar as a token of their good wishes for their less fortunate fellowman. If only one man or woman out of every ten Colored persons in Tulsa would give one dollar, our pro rata of this special Christmas fund would be more than one thousand dollars. Think of the Christmas joy this amount would spread among the poor people of Tulsa and do your bit. Here is an excellent chance for you to join the Good Fellows Club for only one dollar.

One Out of Many AT LAST a preacher of the clergy has been found who is big enough, broad enough and liberal minded enough, and honest enough to open the doors of his heart and mind, and his church as well, to the truth concerning God's plan of human salvation. That preacher is Rev. G. W. Washington, pastor of a Methodist church at Bartlesville. This open hearted, fair minded man by his actions recently in extending welcome to the Hon. Richard J. Hill, an International Bible Student of Tulsa, who spoke in Bartlesville on two different occasions, has set a very laudable example for other preachers to emulate. He has opened the doors of his church to Mr. Hill and proclaimed publicly that his beliefs concerning God's great plan do not conflict with the doctrine of the International Bible Students as promulgated by Mr. Hill. Mr. Hill spoke in Bartlesville last Sunday. The meeting had been advertised for a public hall, but this minister invited the speaker to go to his church that his members might have the benefit of his lecture. Mr. Hill accepted and at the conclusion of his talk the pastor dismissed his congregation commenting very favorably on the lecture and extending the Tulsa man a standing invitation to hold future meetings in his church. Contrast this great man with others of the clergy who are wilfully antagonizing God's own messengers in opposing and attempting to refute the doctrines of the International Bible Students. Here is a man of the ministry who is too big and noble hearted to be bound by the mandates of the church denomina- THE TULSA STAR Saturday, Dec. 4, 1920 tions and who, despite the same, has the manly courage to welcome into his church one of God's faithful servants who in seeking to enlighten his fellow man is preaching a doctrine contrary to the decree of the churches. The higher powers in his church, when this called to their attention, as it doubtless will be by some of his brethren, may call him to task for his action, but whatever loss he may sustain by reason of his gentlemanly and Christian conduct in this particular case will be more than counterbalanced by the higher reward that comes through the self-consciousness he must feel that he has followed his own conviction of right and in so doing has rendered a real service to God and to humanity. Rev. Washington has proved himself above the average in his class and has earned the commendation of sober thinking people of all denominations. It will not be long now before the common people of other denominations will demand an open house for the great truth of God's plans, and when they do there'll be a great commotion among the fellows who have been growing fat on their doctrine of sulphuric blazes emanating from the Plutorial regions for the eternal punishment of God's creatures. Something to Crow About THE TULSA STAR is the only Race journal in Oklahoma printed in its own shop, and carrying eight pages of original news matter—no patent pages. This is an accomplishment of which we are justly proud, but in mentioning it we do not intend any reflection on other Race journals. Look over the pages of this paper and compare it, if possible, with any other Race journal in the state—or west of the Alleghenys, for that matter—and you will find in its columns more news matter to the square inch than it is possible to find in any of our contemporaries mentioned. That's why the Star is the more popular newspaper and accounts for our large and ever increasing subscription list. It is an indisputable fact, and unquestioned, that we have the most complete printing plant owned by members of our group anywhere in the country with only one exception—the National Publishing Company at Nashville, a corporation with a million dollars or more behind it. Thousands of dollars have been invested in equipment to make this claim possible with a view of rendering the best possible service as a newspaper and commercial printing plant to our patrons. We are continually adding to this equipment in our desire to increase our efficiency. Within the last month we have put in more than $1,200 worth of new equipment and within the next month will get at least as much more. In this way we expect to maintain our standard of efficiency in rendering real service to the public. Besides our own, we print four other publications, two monthlys and two weeklies, and in each case we are rendering absolute satisfaction. At present only nine people are employed in conducting this enterprise, but places are open now for at least four more people and will be filled as fast as we can find them. This is the kind of Race enterprise the people of Tulsa and Okiahoma are fostering when they patronize the Tulsa Star. ONE YEAR'S SUBSCRIPTION to the Tulsa Star will make a valuable Christmas present that would be highly appreciated by the recipient of the gift as well as by this office.
