ADVERTISING CAR TOT
 RANCH HERE TODAY
SHOW WILL BE IN CONWAY ON
 THURSDAY, OCTOBER r.

Advertising car No. 3 of Miller
 Brothers and Arlngton's 101 Wild West show is in the city today, and a small army of billposters are busy put ting the finishing touches to the very elaborate outdoor advertising of this typical big exhibition.
 Although the 101 Ranch show is comparatively new institution it's name and merits are widely known, and most interesting exhibition is looked for. The show derives it's name from the famous 101 Ranch at Bliss, Okla
 homa., which is owned by the Miller Brothers and from which many of the cowboys, cowgirls and Indians with the show have been recruited.
 The show is just concluding very remarkable tour, which began at Bliss
 a year and half ago, and has literally covered the country from coast to coast. A few weeks were spent in win ter quarters at Venice, California, where the famous 101 Bison films were taken and the spring season was open ed in Los Angeles. Subsequently the show exhibited in San Francisco, Port land, Tacoma, Seattle Vancouver, Vic toria, Regina, Calgary, and other IlofIhWeSl clUleS on DOtn SlQeS 0f the International line. Its success every where has been pronounced, and it is universally credited with being the most characteristic show of it's kind ever organized,
 There are no circus features with the 101 Ranch show, and none are claimed The performance is devoted to the ex- ploitation of the old life on the plains, with it's stage holdups, its Indian war fare and other exciting historical incl dents, together with graphic pictures of cowboy and cowgirl life on the mod ern ranch. It is strenuous, lifely show, full of thrills. and yet with an element of comedy that provokes many hearty laugh from the audience.
 Wild West day, next Thursday, De- tober IT, will be inaugurated with a picturesque street parade, in which all the notable character of the show, in- cluding Joseph c. Miller, the famous ranchman, will appear.

Colonial

It should be understood that the term Colonial as applied to modern designed furniture real ly means the type based on the style that was actually intro- duced in this country after we had passed the Colonial stage. To be accurate, it is the modern American conception of the Elm pire style. Collectors of an- tiques and historians will doubt less continue to designate as Colonial pieces that are really Sheraton, Chippendale or Hep plewhite, as well as those that are Empire, and they will be technically correct, for these an- tiques may have been manufac- tured or imported into this coun- try before the birth of the Re public but dealers in and pur- chasers of furniture have be- come more familiar with furni- ture styles and history in the past few years, and now it is customary to classify the differ ent styles as they should be classified as Chippendale, Sher- aton or Hepplewhite, and to term as Colonial the one particular type embracing the characteris- tics of the Empire; and yet the Empire period, as will be recall ed, post-dates the memorable year, l776.
 The Colonial style, then, as it has come to be known and re- guarded has for it's most distinc- tive features the heavy graceful scroll and the classic columns,

such columns being either espec- ially plain or highly ornamented with the Feather and Leaf" carving. The chief distinction between the Colonial and the
 Empire is the omission of the brass ornamentation. Colonial is heavy but graceful, partaking of the nature of the classic.
 Modern Colonial furniture of good grade lends itself especially to the finely figured crotch or branded mahogany and the burl- ed Circassian Walnut, it's some- what severe line being relieved by the beautiful figures in the grain. It is natural for the gen eral public to assume that Colon lal-the heavy mission Colonial really antedates the lighter and more elaborately decorated styles of either the Dutch or Chippendale types, with their bandy legs, or the slender and more severe types of Hepple- white and Sheraton, with their inlay work. As a matter of fact, the heavier style succeeded the lighter. It is the style of furni ture used in the very earliest days of the new Republic that is now properly regarded as the most characteristic and best types of the Colonial, although literally Colonial furniture is of three different types-English, Dutch and French. of the partic- ular styles that obtained in the three countries during the Colon ial period.

WORK OF MUSIC SCHOOL
SETTLEMENT WINS PRAISE
Educational Value Of Unique institu.
ton Evokes Favorable Comment.

The music school settlement in New
York which was started In 1911 has
made wonderful progress. Although
practically new venture as such
among Afro-Americans. it has out
grown it's quarters in Sixty second
street and will soon move into more
suitable building in the Harlem sec
ton Of the city.
Over 1000 lessons have been given to
children and adults within the past
nine months. The teachers are now
busy with the formation of a large
chorus which they expect to make one
of the most attractive features Of the
settlement work during the coming
winter.
The educational appeal to our people
through music has long been CON
sidered a pertinent feature Of race
progress. Some of the leading educa,
tors Of the south. including the presi,
dents Of many Of the larger indus
trial schools. give 1t as their opinion
that the music school settlement is
creating a common basis Of friendship
and helpful cooperation between
white and colored people which will
promote general interest and better
understanding Of the best methods tO
be used In their educational work.
Though the settlement school has for
it's main work its sociological purpose,
there could he no stronger proof OF
it's value as path breaker. musically,
than the fact that some of the best
compositions performed at the first
concert. given In May. 1911. were in
stantly accepted for publication and
evoked from SCHNEIDER, who saw these
compositions In manuscript. the most
favorable comment.

Liberal DISTRIBUTION OF

Professor orssner Joins Democrats
rrsnd Toward Independence Grows.

The attitude of the colored voters In
the various sections Of the country to-
ward the Democratic party has under
gone a remarkable change during the
past decade. Time was when any al
lance with any other political organiza'
ltion except the Republican party would
be frowned upon by the masses OF our
people.
But the race Is advancing along all
lines Of activity and thought in the
direction of equal justice and full con-
stitutional rights for all Americans re-
gardless Of race. Public officials in the
state and national government or those
who are candidates for such position
and are in favor Of the just enforce
ment Of the law as law and not accord
ing to color will receive reasonable sup
port from AfrO-Ameri"ans.
v In the present political campaign our
people are to he found IN the ranks of all
parties. Independence in voting Is the
trend Of the age among the body poll

II will be news to the many friepds
of Professor Richard Il. Greener. former
United States consul to Bombay and

attempting to do for the Master. The
field secretary. Mrs. f. Il. Whitfield,
gave report of the work she has
accomplished since lier promotion.
This report showed that she had trav-
eled thousands of miles and has
brought into the convention new or
ganizatiOns and new workers.

the very carefully prepared and en-
couraging report of Miss Mamie II
Burroughs. the corresponding secretary.
The most gratifying thing to be not
ed in connection with the work Of the
woman's auxiliary is that 1t has grown
80 rapidly. Twelve years ago at the
first annual meeting the convention
raised SIS. This year it reported $26.
96SO9. The money is used In helping to
support missionaries in foreign fields.
to educate foreign students in Ameri-
can institutions and to operate the Ma
tional Training School For Women and
Girls at Washington. which institution
is owned by the convention.
The women bought this property and
opened the school three years ago.
From a valuation Of $1,000 the prop,
erty has increased. through buildings
0nd other improvements made on the
grounds. until the plant is now worth
$4,000. Do not ask whether cOiored
women can attempt and execute great
work on a large scale The woman's
convention, auxiliary to the national
Baptist convention. answers the ques-
ton.
One Of the special features OF the
Houston meeting was the needlewOrk
exhibition. Articles were donated by
women from all parts Of the country
and were sold for the benefit Of the
work of the convention. Another spe-
cial feature. Indicative Of the progress
sive spirit that characterizes the lead
ers. is the young women's movement
which has for its object the enlistment
of our girls In Christian work. Their
program was In every way most credit
able.

tiers. showed that the convention Is In
