$4,000 NEGROES OUT
OF WORK IN CHICAGO
Though Lacking Food, Their Rents
Are Beng Boosted.

Chicago, Feb. 2S.-Chicago is con-
fronted with a serious problem in
connection with its negro population
as result of high rents and profi-
teering landlords. Unemployment OF
big scale, according to Alderman
Louis B. Anderson of the Second
Ward, is adding to the seriousness of
the situation. Landlords in the South
Side "Black Belt" are boosting the
rents from Is to so per cent, despite
the fact that thousands of negroes are
out of work and with no possibility
of immediate relief.
at is a situation which public Off
cials will have to deal with at once, .
said Alderman Anderson today. "The
negroes simply cannot pay the high
rents that the profiteering landlords
are seeking to obtain. Neither can
they move. 1t is hard enough for a
colored family to obtain living quar-
ters under most favorable circum-
stances. 1t is practically impossible
with the present housing shortage.
"The unemployment situation is adj
ding to the serious state of affairs.
Hundreds of colored men and women
are losing their jobs every day. There
are fully $4,000 negroes out of work
at the present time and with no pros
poets of relief in sight. Their finan-
cial means are rapidly exhausted and
credit is limited by the small retailers.
Many families are without food
'Ta spite of the grave situation the
landlords persist in boosting the rents
to prohibitive points. All the tenants
can do is accept the terms forced upon
them and meet those terms the best
they can. If the landlords are per-
mitted to continue gouging these help
less people | hesitate to predict the
outcome.
"Most of the tenants simply cannot
meet the rent boosts, because they
have no means of earning even
enough money to properly feed their
families and themselves.
Alderman Anderson is planning to
take up with Mayor Thompson, Com
missioner of Public Works Francis
and other city officials the plan of
pushing as quickly as possible big
public improvements.

YOU AND YOUR TOWN.

Your town boosts you. Why not dc
as well by the town as is does by you
No citizen is so powerful, none sc
humble, but what the town is an aid
to him in some way or other.
The food that he eats, the clothes
that he wears, the recreation and
amusement that he enjoys, all origi-
nate in the town, because the money
with which they are procured, is made
there.
When fellow boosts his own town
he does not stop there. He is per-
forming an act that improves his own
condition, for every good word and
every good deed has its elevating in
fluence.
A few people are always home town
boosters. They accomplish much in
the way of community betterment,
and this improves the condition of not
only themselves, but also of those who
do no boosting at all.
If every citizen would constitute
himself or herself home town boost
er the result collectively would >be
many times as great, and opportunl-
ties for self improvement would be
more numerous.
Think it over in your odd moments
Then get into the boost wagon and
hit the pace.

STONE WEBSTER
MAKES SUCCESS

Stone Webster was an Ardmore Wis
ltor Wednesday from Oklahoma City.
/ And that reminds us.
1t was in the year 1895 when Stone
as a very young man arrived in the
wild and woody Indian territory from
Mississippi. He had about $50 in his
pocket. He had never so much as
been away from home one night ard
he was heart sick boy. His first Job
was in restaurant on Caddo steet.
II was his business at meal time to
sound the gong in front of the place
and invite people in to eat.
In those days Y. B. Lynn lived up
that street and passed the restaurant
| three times day at meal time. For
months he never passed but that the
Stone boy asked him in to eat and
With the same earnestnesS each tin,o.
Mr.. Lynn came to the conclusion
that a boy who was that fai'hfll
would make good shoe clerk and he
hired him away from the restaurant.
rom the shoe store he went .1t1 n
cry goods house and from tho G,v
goods house he went into a partner
Isiiip with j. S. McCharen
The first trading that Stone Web
ster did was to buy three lots in
hrdmore. He paid a small sum down
and agreed to pay the rest. He sold
the property for a profit. He was
married in this city to Miss Dean,
sister of Thomas w. Dean of the
State National Bank.

tlched himself to the Methodist
church and he is still member of the
same church in Oklahoma City. For
23 years in succession he has served
as member of the board of stewards
and is interested in every phase of
church advancement. Mr.. Webster
then left Ardmore to enter the furni-
ture business in Oklahoma City with
". NJ. Hills where he is now. He in
vested II real estate in Oklahoma City
and has nice bunch of rental prop
erty there. He has for several years
invested in oil leases and hauled down
a nice little fortune in the sale of
leases in the Ell Dorado field few
days ago. He has production in Ste
phens county, this state.~ Stone Web
ster had scarcely more than reached
middle life but by his own efforts he
has ammassed a comfortable fortune
and is in easy circumstances and can
play the oil game, give his time to
mercantile business or retire just as
re pleases. But Stone Webster Will
rot retire. He is just getting to the
place where he can make big money.
The above clipping was taken from
an Ardmore paper and handed to us
for publication. Mr.. Webster. is quite
well known here and has number of
relatives Eere, he being a brother of

THAT CITY STUFF.

City newspapers and moving pic
tare films are becoming filled with
sensational sex stuff.
The reason is simple.
The average city mind runs IN that
direction and demands what it wants.
The city newspaper that caters most
to the popular demand gets the circu-
Iation, and circulation gets the adver-
tising, and advertising supplies the
dividends.
The same rule applies to the cinema
houses.
A good, healthy, elevating picture
will draw few people, but senSa
tional sex or murder film will fill the
house. Moving picture men are after
the money, and they employ the
means that they know will produce
it,
Country districts have not become
so badly tainted with modernism. The
people are more in the open, are oft
ener in communication with nature,
and breathes more freely of the pur-
ity of life away from the dens of vice
and iniquity.
That is the situation today, but VINO
can tell as to the morrow?
1t depends upon the mental and
moral training of our young people.
The ideas we instil into the minds of
little children will have much to DO
with the bent of their mentality when
they reach the age of maturity.
If we implant in their minds heal
thy respect for the teachings of Chris
tianity and devotion to the cause of
right and justice, of purity in thought
and action, they may escape the wave
of vieiousaess that is sweeping the
adult world.
But our hope for q better future
rests with the children of today.
When we want to teach dog tricks
we begin when he is young. -
The human race is not SO far re-
moved from the brute creation but
what the same rule will apply.

DOES ANYONE WANT A BISON? /.
UNCLE SAM GIVES THEM AWAY

The Forest Service of the United
States Department of Agriculture has
more than 20 male buffalo of varying
size and age, which it desires to give
away or loan to park or geological
associations, ,~or responsible indivl-
duals who will take good care of them
and use them for breeding or exehibi-
ton purposes.
The buffalo herd established on the
Wichita National Forest and Game
Preserve, Oklahoma, some Is years
ago with muscles of Is animals, has
prospered nightly. They now number
nearly $50 head, including the 28-year
old "gray gander" of the herd as well
as the smallest and friskiest bull calf
born last spring. AS the herd has in
grown the number of bulls has in
creased more rapidly than the cows,
until now there are too many of the
former.
Under the regulations the Forest
Service can give or lend only one male
buffalo to an Individual or institution.
Several applications have already
been received and approved, and plans
are on foot to cut out from the herd
the animals selected, and crate and
haul them to the railroad.
Although Uncle Sam is willing to
make present of these animals, the
recipient must pay all expenses incl
dent to the gift, including the cost OF
Grating, hauling, and freight charges
from Cache, Okla, to the point Of de-
livery.
Here is an excellent opportunity to
get real, live buffalo-not as gentle,
perhaps, as kitten, but, neverthe-
less, nice pet if you have plenty Of
room to keep him, surrounded by q
12-foot doubIe-ply, woven-wire fence,
and the price of 2 tons Of hay year.

mayor fAVORS
| ALDERMAN|C FORM
Says He is In Favor Of Mayor and AL
derman Plan, But Believes Com
mission Form Can Be Operated
just As Cheaply.

ina brief interview with Mayor FL
lott yesterday morning he stated that
he was in favor of the Aldermaaic
form of government in preference to
the Commission form, but that he be-
lieved that commission form can be
operated just as cheaply as the mayor
and aldermen plan.
Mr.. Elliott is conscious in his belief
and if there is man in Oxford who
could straighten the kinks out of the
commission form of government we
believe Mr.. Elliott could do it. But he
failed to convince us that the commits
sion form of government could be
made to operate as satisfactory with
the people as the former plan.
No one doubts Mr.. Elliott's ability
and business qualifications to fill the
position as mayor. He is honest,
straight out and out business man a1d
a good fellow, but we wait with pleas
ure to be Shown" that the commission
form can be operated as cheaply, eco
nomically and satisfactory to the tax
payers as the mayor and aldermen
plan.
Anyway, the Eagle stands with the
great majority which said last Thurs
day, "Take it away One dozen (12)
voted to continue the present system
of government; 17S voted to return to
the old plan of simply mayor and
board of aldermen. This is conclusive
proof that the people are tired of the
commission form of government and
want change, it is conclusive proof
that the people are with Governor
Russell in the stand he has taken to
relieve the people of the present un-
satisfactory system under which the
city of Oxford is now being operated.

SILK SHIRT SQUAD HAD
BETTER GO SEE "VANITY
CT fton Mallory Players to Present
Morality Play VANITY" Here Soon
plea Against Extravaganza

Clifton Mallory, dramatist and ac-
tor, known scarcely less for his own
ability in dramatic Interpretation than
for his five successful plays, is to ap-
pear Tuesday evening at Lyceum The
atre hediag his own company of play
ers in presenting modern morality
play, vanity"
Here is keen satire upon Ameri-
can craze for keeping up appearances.
Filled with clean humor and present
ing many tense dramatic moments,
this modern morality play which tells
of New York Manufacturer, his wife,
his clerk, and a public stenographer,
breaches a powerful sermon, but not
at the expense of an interest of keen
dramatic delights.
Vanity like "Everywoman," that
other famous morality play, has been
presented successfully from New York
City to State College New Mexico, and
from Portland, Oregon to De Fuian
Springs, Florida, and in every case
Mr.. Mallory and his distinguished
company of artists have been received
with kindest words of appreciation by
critics-not only of the press, but OF
the pulpit.
The supporting cast is indeed a
splendid one and Mr.. Mallory has
spared no expense in the proper stag
ing of the play. Admission so and
