M&yor Wants Old Fourth
Muskogee Ok- June 8 — The
“safe and sane” Fourth of Julyjidea
is not taking in Muskogee A real
old fashioned “hip h'p hurrah”
eagle-screaming Fourth for Mus-
kogee savs Mayor Miller and that
goes He ha appointed a commit-
tee of 100 business men to see
that it does go and that it goes
w(th a fohoop
‘‘People down South don’t pay
enough attention to Independence
day" says Mayor Miller “Why
in Texas where I was reared
nobody ever heard a firecracker on
the Fourth of July The day we
made the noise was on Christmas
“The Fourth is just as much our
day as anybody else’s and I want
a rousing big celebration with
all the noise that can be made —
100 guns at sunrise a million fire-
crackers' all day (a big barbecue
some ‘oratin’ ’ in the afternoon and
then the biggest bunch of firecrack-
ers that can be gotten together at
night
If the mayor carries out his pro-
gram he will have to revoked the
city’s safe and sane ordinance
which prohibits the sale of fire-
crackers and torpedoes and the
usual Fourth of July fireworks
within the city limits

the negro s'lould be deman led it
can be given for tuey have brought
over from Africa and developed
this country even under all the un
favorable conditions of slavery
music so wonderful so beautiful
and yet so strange that like the
gypsy music of Hungary it is at
once the admiration and despair of
educated musicians cf our race
Unique and inimitable it is the only
music of this country except that
of the Indians which can claim
be folk music In it the negroes
pour out their jjys and their sor
rows in naive but wonderful mov
ing fashion and in the face of such
testimony of emotional and esthet
ical beauty who dare deny them
wider future possibilities in the
great work of liberation of mind
and soul which is going on?—

Both army and navy officers like
to locate in San Diego The city
has a very large “colony” of re
tired officers and their families
More than this many officers who
may at times have been in San
Diego temporarily in the course of
their duty have purchased hts
there and are expecting to ouild
homes there when they retire
Then in the past two years the
Navy Department has recognized
in San Diego a place where it i
desirable to maintain a base There
is a coaling station and ap oiling
station is to be built and the tor
pedo lotillais maintained there with
its mother ship The cruiser fleet
made this port and remained for a
time and there is always a good
deal of naval activity around the
bay the annual target practice
range being just outside the heads
Fort Rosecrans guards the en-
trance to the harbor with its big
coast defense guns and visitors
will always find much to interes
them in both the naval vessels and
the army post

spring and summer suit My prices
are right and my weaves colors

After singing for a revival in

I attended the Comanche County
Singing Convention which met ai
Walter Okla Th3 session was
held in the large auditorium of the
Walter public school building and
still there wes not stand ng room
The good people of Walter enter
tained the convention royally
Walter is not a city — she has only
about 1000 or 1500 inhabitants
but they are of that progressive
spirit that always makes a town
loom up to its full stature Her
school building would do credit to
a much larger city There were a
number of classes represented in
the convention and the singing was
as good as as is commonly heard in
singing conventions of the kind
The worst feature of tie conven-
tion was the scarcity of singers
So few of the many who attend
these conventions take a part in
the singing '1 his of course should
not be the case Prof A B SeDren

tette Company of Texas Ys edit
