A BRUTAL CRIME

James Hightower, an ex-convict, 81
years of age of independence, Mo,
was sentenced by jury Tuesday, to
five years in the penitentiary for as
sault on a little girl twelve years of
age, named Nettie Neal. He enticed
the child to box car in the Missouri
Pacific yards where she was assaulted
by the fellow and left unconscious ana
dangerously injured where she was
found by some passersby. Hightower
was arrested by Chief of Police Har-
ris Nealy of Independence, and j. ].
Mattjoy, probation officer of Jackson
County. The girl was attended by
DR.. e. M. Phenix who made splen-
did witness in the prosecution of the
case. The prosecution was also ably
assisted by Hon. Charles H. Galloway,
one of our foremost young attorneys
who in the interest OF justice and de-
cency served without pay and his ar
raignment of the defendant before the
jury was one OF the most scathing de-
nouncements that has ever been heard
in the criminal court of this country.
While we have no criticism for the
jury, yet we are satisfied that IL il
had been a Negro jury or if it had
been a white child, this culprit would
have received nothing less than 80
years in prison. Again Officer Matt
joy scores.

About sixteen months ago the
Square Deal Oil and Gas Company fin
ished drilling it's third well. At that
time, on account of the war, the small
ness of its capitalization, the scarcity
of labor and a few other minor rea-
sons; it ceased active operation until
these abnormal causes were over and
its capital increased.
On the 21st of October, 1919, the
Square Deal Oil and Gas Company,
after duly qualifying and complying
with all the rigid laws of the State of
Missouri, was granted by the Secre-
tary of State, an increase capitaliza-
tion from $4,000 to $4,000.
Immediately after the Increase was
granted, the company set out to ar
range to connect up its oil wells and
place it's oil on the market. Tanks
were ordered a new pump and engine
were ordered, a field man was hired;
in fact, everything has been attended
to that will enable the Company to
place its oil on the market.
At the regular December meeting of
the Board of Directors of the Square
Deal Oil and Gas Company, the fol-
lawing officers were elected: Samuel

ed, few narrOW-minded Negroes OF
Kansas City said it could not be done;
after it was organized, the same fee
BILE minded people said that this Com
pany never would raise enough money
to drill a we'll; after sufficient money
was raised to drill three wells they
said they would squanAer the money
and would never drill a well; after
they drilled three wells and secured a
nice production of oil they said that
the Square Deal Oil and Gas Com
pany did not have 1t; when the Square
Deal Oil and Gas Company applied to
the State for an increase capitaliza-
tion, they said they could not qualify
for it. Many of these never amount
to much prophets" even went so far
as to say that the Square Deal Oil and
Gas Company had failed All Of these
base and unfounded statements
against this Company have been dis
proven. The Company. has been or
ganized; it has raised Gnough money
to drill three wells; it did not squan-
der the money raised, but drilled the
three wells and has as proof a nice
production of oil. 1t has qualified and
has been granted it's increase from
$4,000 to $4,000 1t is connecting up
it's wells and it will soon pay its stock
holders nice dividend just the same
as it has done everything else it has
promised it's stockholders it would do.
There is no way for this Company
to fail now. Every Negro in Kansas
City great or small that has the least
particle of race blood in his veins
should buy at least few shares of
Square Deal Oil Stock. 1t marks an
era in the financial undertakings of
the Negro in Kansas City. 1t proves
to the world that the Black Man is
fully able, without the leadership and
assistance of the White man to fin
ance and operate big business enter
prises the same as any one else.
Every statement made in this ar
ticle is backed up by the Company and
proof of same will be readily submit
ted to any one on request.
Now is the time to buy Square Deal
Oil Stock in a substantial way. One
investing his money in this Company,
simply is placing it where he will, in
the near future receive great returns.
A few dollars invested in Square Deal
Stock may mean prosperity and hap
piness the rest of your days. One
should not pinch off and buy only u
few shares of this stock but they
should go their positive limit" while
they can get it at $500 per share.
Remember-the more shares you
own the larger your dividends will be!

A REMARKABLE WOMAN.

Perhaps no woman dependent upon
her own resources in this city has
achieved such wonderful success dur
ing the past three years as has Mrs.
v L. Hueston of 1921 Garfield Ave
nue..
For sixteen years Mrs. Houston
kept furnished rooms and apartments
in this city, the most recent at 1906
Highland Avenue, which she sold a
few weeks ago for Il splendid sum in
cash and since that time, she has
been devoting her entire attention to
Christian Science healing having re-
Gently finished a class of instruction
in which she was the only Colored
member and was declared absolutely
capable to carry on the work success
fully of Christian Science Practition-
er. During the San Francisco Expo
sition, Mrs Houston lived in that city,
and her beautiful home there was the
mecca for Kansas Citians attending
the Exposition and the Editor yet
remembers how lavishly and hand
somely he and Mr.. George w. K. Love
were entertained there during their
two-weeks' visit ut the Exposition.
Mrs. Houston now owns the home at
1921 Garfield Avenue when is with
out question the most beautifully fin
ished and modern equipped residence
owned by our people in this city. IL
consists of twelve rooms, closets,
sleeping porch, wide Railways, beauti-
full carved staircasing and the plate
glass windows and stained glass ef-
feet alone cost many hundreds Of dol
lars. In her home is located the Sixth
Church of Christ Science which un-
der the leadership of DR.. Perry, esp,
has had a wonderful growth during
the past year occupying the spacious
double parlors on the first floor while
to the left is a large reading room
elegantly furnished the whole capable
of seating two hundred people. It is
no disparagement to other churches to
say that this is one of the neatest,
most attractive and best equipped
church and congregation in this City.
Mrs. Houston who for many months
after her return from California was
an invalid, turned her attention to
Christian Science and by deNou study
and application, became convinced
that its teachings had power to heal
all mankind both physically and spir-
itually and now she possess the most
robust health which she attributes to
the kindness and the graeiousness
of Almighty God. That she will sue
ceed in her work as a Christian
Science Practitioner, goes without say
ing and The Sun compliments her up
on the remarkable success she has
single handed and alone achieved for
God, her Church, and herself.

BEFORE TITS TOO LATE.

If you've a gray haired mother
In the old home far away;
Sit down and write the letter
You put off the other day.
Don't wait until her weary steps
Reach heavens pearly gates;
But show her that you think of her
Before it is too late.
sAsst-~dSa
If you've a tender message,
Oh loving word to say;
Don't wait until you forget it,
But whisper it today.
Who knows what little memories
May haunt you If you wait;
So make those you love happy
Before it is too late.
The tender words unspoken,
The letters never sent;
The long forgotten message.
The wealth of love unspent;
For these some hearts are breaking
For these some loved ones wait;
Show them that you care for them
Before it is too late.
