exhibit was awarded first prize al the
y Okishoma state fair. eastern Okiaho'
ma fair IT MuskOgee and the Tulsa
county fair What this ambitious Ut
" coIored boy accomplished has
brought him into favorable notice OF
The state board OF agriculture.
Dewey Green resides with his father
on d farm near jerks. In the iowlands
tf the Arkansas river which cannot
BE- excelIed In Oklahoma for cotton.
He was enrolled in the Tulsa County
Boys Cotton club early last year.
When II was announced that Dewey
had decided to join the club the white
boys in the club were inclined to view
The advent OF Negro boy with dis
dsin. "You won't get anywhere In
contest with the white boys" was the
ding one boy took at Deewy.
You all ies' wait till pickin' time
and I'll show you who can grow cot
ton" was the rejoinder OF the Lad.
On his one acre OF cotton he made
more money than did his father on
forty sores OF the same land adjoining.
Not only was the yield unusually
heavy, but in point Of lint, number OF
boils to the stalk and seed 1t out
graded anything shown in the three
fairs.
Dewey says he accomplished what
be did by following out the instrrc.
tions Of the department OF agriculture
To the letter and by refusing to seek
the shade when the t0rrid sun OF July
and August took all OF the play" out
OF experimental farming.
Dewey has enrolled In the Boys
Corn club OF Tulsa county and will 90
IN for corn this year, as the disastrous
luck attending the marketing OF cot.
tor owing to the war will have a ten
dency TO eliminate cotton from the
4 1915 crops In Tulsa county. ~. &
II anything, the Negro farmers OF
Tulsa county take more interest In the
efforts u the government to promote
scientific farming than the whites
They attend agricultural meetings and
listen with rapt attention to all that is
said. Many Negro farmers are going
In for wheat, oats and alfalfa who
until two years ago had never raised
anything but cotton and corn. All
who tried wheat and oats in 1914
made money. Where they have plant.
ed alfalfa they have for the first time
In their lives gone In for hog raising.

Sioux Falls Jan. 19.-Last Sa-
turday Bishop O'Gormen received
word from Rome that Rt. Rev. w.
v. Nolan, pastor of the pro cathe-
dral of Sioux Falls and Ri. Rev.
E. A. Bouska, pastor Of Tabor: >.
d. had been named domestic pre-
Iates by Pope Benedict XIV. The
papal document, known as brief,
was received by each of the priests
on Saturday.
This is an honor conferred by
the pope of service in the church,
and gives to the recipient the title
of "monsignore," and also the
right of wearing the gsrb of q
prelate. Bishop O'Gorman OBJ
tanned this honor for those two
priests because they have had long
and distinguished careers in the
diocese, and especially for the rea-
son that they were among the pit
oneers in developing primary
Catholic education in this state.
Father Bousks, who celebrated
the twenty-fffth anniversary of
his ordination last summer, has
been pastor of Tabor during the
last 20 years. Upon his arrival
there he found only a small frame
church. Today church, house and
school, all large and substantial
bui ldings and modern in every re-
spect, are proofs of his labor and
zeal. ..a.-.... !

and guide the plow. What IL to be-
come OF that nation where poverty
breaks the crowns OF the queens OF
the home: despair hurls mothers
love from its throne and hunger drives
innocent children from the schoolroom
to the noe?
The census bureau shows that 1885,
600 Of these women are forty-fve
years Of age and over There is no.
more pitiful sight in civilization than
these sanity mothers OF Israel stopped
with age, drudging in the field from
sun until sun and at night drenching
their jingy pillows with the tears OF
despair as their aching hearts take
it all to God in prayer. Civilization
strikes them blow when it should
give them a crown, and their only
friend Is he who broke bread with
beggars and said: Come unto me all
We that are weary and heavy laden and
l will give you rest"
Oh. America! The land of the free
and the home of the brave, the
worlds custodian of chivalry, the
champion of human rights and the de-
fender of the oppressed--shall we per-
NIT our maidens fair to be torn from
the hearthstone by the ruthless hand
of destiny and chained to the plow?
Shall we permit our faithful wives,
whom we covenanted with God to cher
ish and protect, to be hurled from the
home 20 the harvest field. and our
mothers dear to be driven from the old
arm chair to the cotton patch?
In rescuing our citizens from the
forces o. civilization, can We not apply
to our fair Dixieland the rule Of the
sea-"women and children flrst?"
There must be a readjustment Of
the wage scale of industry so that the
women can be taken from the field or
given a reasonable wage for her serv-
ices. Perhaps the issue has never been
fairly raised, but the Farmers Union,
with a membership of ten million, puts
its organized forces squarely behind
the Issue and we now enter upon the
docket of civilization the case OF "Ths
Woman in the Field" and demand an
immediate trial.

RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re-

Attention Of Public to


The Common Carriers Ask for Re-
lief President Wilson Directs
Attention Of Public to
Their Needs.
The committee Of railroad execu.
tives, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-flve of the leading
railroad systems Of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
nculties now confronting the railroads
Of the country and asking for the CO.
operation of the governmental authori-
ties and the public in supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression Of business on the Ameri-
can continent and In the dislocation
of credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
of the country face a most serious
crisis and the memorandum is
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such a
confagratfon when the flames meet
is apparent to all, In their general
discussion the railroad representa-.
tives say in part: by reason of leg.
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting independently of each other, as
we'll as'through the action of strong
public opinion, railroad expenses In
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made of the gen.
eral theory of governmental reguIa-
ton, but on the other hand, no In.
genuity can relieve the carriers OF ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in Transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES 1t as "a lucid statement of plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary. con.
tinuing, said in part:
You ask me to call the attention
OF the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies. and
am glad to do so because / think
the need very real"
The conference was certainly
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to a new world OF
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prob.
lens In our complex civilization that
viii yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul-
lngs Of commissions and financing
railroads 10 one of them. The man
with the money is a factor that can
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public lie an inter
ssted party that should always be con-
suited and happily the president has
invited all to participate in the solu.
ton OF our railroad problems. 49,. .
