A Popular Chaplain CHAPLAIN OSCAR J. W. SCOTT, 25TH INFANTRY, RELIEVED FROM DUTY WITH THAT REGIMENT. Many expressions of deep regret is being heard on the part of officers and enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, on account of the fact that Chaplain Oscar J. W. Scott, 25th Infantry, has completed his tour of duty with the regiment, on foreign service, and has been ordered back to the United States (the mainland) for assignment to one of the colored regiments stationed on the Mexican border. Chaplain Scott is popular with both the official and the enlisted personnel of the regiment and they regret to see him leave. The chaplain has gone beyond the ordinary bounds of his office and has interested himself in every phase of the regimental life where he could be of influence in directing the men to strong and manly character; he has taken a vital interest in clean athletic sports and was always one of the best rooters at the important baseball games; he has been the inspiration of many a young man's determination to improve his mental faculties while a soldier in the army, and he has conducted with marked success a post school for the enlisted men of the regiment; he has built up a splendid regimental library, having solicited books in various parts of the country for this purpose; a strong literary society which bears his name is one of the products of his labors. The Sunday night and mid-week meetings conducted by Chaplain Scott are largely attended, sometimes there is not standing room at the Sunday night meetings, and it must be borne in mind that enlisted men are not compelled to attend church in the army. One of the institutions which Chaplain Scott will leave behind him and for which the children of the regiment will always be especially grateful to him is the annual Christmas tree, for all the regiment. It is to be hoped that this celebration will be continued by Chaplain Scott's successor. Another thing for which the men of the Twenty-fifth will always remember the chaplain, is that he was ever on the alert to procure every public man of world fame, who came within the vicinity of the regiment, to speak to the men of the regiment. He was generally successful. Such men as Dan Crawford, the great missionary to Africa, Dr. Francis E. Clark, of the World's Christian Endeavor Society; Dr. Baker, leader of the anti-saloon movement in America; Brown and Curry, the great evangelists; Bishops of the church, statesmen and other dignitaries have spoken to the men of the regiment upon the solicitation of Chaplain Scott. Chaplain Oscar J. W. Scott has been an officer of the army since April, 1907. He was appointed a chaplain and first lieutenant of the 25th Infantry in that year and was promoted to his captaincy in April, 1914. It is believed that the chaplain will be promoted to the grade of major after he has served the required time, 10 years, as a line officer. A number of his fellow officers believe him to be worthy of distinction for exceptional efficiency. Chaplain Oscar J. W. Scott was born at Gallipolis, Ohio, on July 31, 1867. He was privileged to attend school throughout his childhood, and later entered Ohio Wesleyan University, from which he graduated with highest honors in oratory and the degrees A. B. and A. M.; to these Drew Seminary added that of B. D.; the University of Denver contributed B. O. and S. T. B., and Payne Theological Seminary gave the crowning one of D. D. The entire ministry of Dr. Scott has been made by singular ability and unceasing labor, and the fact that he pastored some of the largest churches of his denomination, including the great Metropolitan church of Washington, D. C., evidences the confidence felt by high church authority in his power to preach and to direct the affairs of large congregations. Mrs. Nettle, Poindexter, Scott, the charming wife of Chaplain Scott, is an accomplished musician. She was formerly an instructor in music at the Ohio institution for the blind. She has been of wonderful assistance to her husband in taking charge of the music in church and literary clubs, and at other public meetings. Mrs. Scott was born at Columbus, Ohio, and is a granddaughter of the great old Dr. Poindexter, known throughout Ohio as a leader in religious thought during his long and useful life. Chaplain and Mrs. Scott have been blessed with three interesting children, Masters Albert and James and Miss Ruth. Albert is now a student at the Columbus high school, Columbus, Ohio. The enlisted men of the 25th Infantry and their wives tendered a reception to Chaplain and Mrs. Scott, at which the following program was rendered: Mrs. Maggie D. McInham Reynolds made a very pretty speech in presenting to Mrs. Scott a beautiful tiara necklace, set with large, rare jades, which was a present from the men of the regiment. The refreshments were enjoyed by all. The Kansas City Sun NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE OUR GUESTS. (Continued from last week's Sun.)

The Masonic Grand Lodge and Eastern Star Chapter just closed a very pleasant and interesting session, in the city June 5 to 8 inclusive. At 10 a. m., June 5th, a grand parade thru the principal streets of the city by Grand Lodge officers and delegates, the local lodges acting as escorts, was held. The parade was headed by six police officers, whose appearance gave much credit to the race. The band of this city was at its best and filled the air with its sweet strains of music as the parade headed its way to labor temple, where the informal opening was held. Dr. McWilliams represented the mayor, Chas. E. Sebastian, extending to the visitors a hearty welcome and to the G. M. the keys of the city. Dr. McWilliams' speech was masterly; the response by Brother T. A. Harris was full of welcome. The program was beautifully carried out with one exception, and that was no mention was made of the wives, daughters, widows and sisters who assembled at the same time in their 35th annual session. No mention was made of them during the opening and no place accorded them on the program. The Grand Chapter O. E. S. convened promptly at 2 p. m. with W. G. M. Sister Sadie Alexander and W. G. P. Brother James Wilson on the throne. Fifteen Chapters were represented, and the report of the Grand Secretary and Treasurer showed a membership of 500, deaths during the year 7, and cash balance $46490.

Special mention must be made of the combination bookcase, library table and electric lamp made by one of our race boys in the city schools, Leon Hefflin, age 18, and who is excelled by few in his line of workmanship. Mr. Ben Simpson of Warrensburg, Mo., and his three daughters, Ethel, Edna and Carrie, were the guests of Mrs. W. H.

One of the greatest reasons why we should welcome the League is, it will serve as an "eye opener" to those that are really interested in the progress of the race and the entertainment of the Business League and the protender. We have a host of men and women that claim to be race lovers and are recognized leaders, they desire prominent recognition whenever honors are to be conferred and they possess ability to make oratorical speeches that will almost make the hair stand, and one might be led to believe that such persons had given time, talent and finance for the maintenance of such a worthy organization as the League, but when it comes to putting up the cash and sacrificing a little time to make the entertainment a success, he is not in it.

Mr. Harris was born in Wayside Va., moved and received his early training in Springfield, Mo.; he was a teacher in the public school for two years, and then he spent two years in city assessor's office in Kansas City, Mo. Mr. Harris began his news paper career, "The Messenger"; his brother Preston was his business partner. Later he bought out "The Signal" and merged the two papers into one and ran it for seven years. During this time he was in the public eye—he was quite an orator. The Republican central committee employed him to travel through the state and lecture. He rendered great assistance in the election of former President Taft, and received splendid aid from him. Mr. Harris moved to Pueblo and was the founder of the Colorado Industrial Institute, 1910. He served as a secret detective for the Colorado and Southern two years. He was editor of "The Megaphone" for past 18 months. He was not able to do what he desired to do on account of his health. He succeeded in keeping the paper alive. Mr. Harris was a deacon of the Bethlehem Baptist church for the past five years and a consistent Christian man.—Pueblo, Col., Megaphone. Last Saturday night, June 10, the waiters of the Hotel Jefferson surprised their head waiter, Mr. Samuel F. Price, with a birthday party at his residence, 1327 Woodland avenue.

He heard the harp of his fathers, and felt the pang of his people's suffering. The conquest of the Ancient passed before him. Again he saw his people passing the Red Sea's partin waters. He saw glory in the pillard cloud and Jehovah bekoning, the God of Abraham, Jacob's God; he saw the covenant, the law and Moses the giver. Old Pharoah the King he beheld once more, stern and oppressive. He saw Joseph the week, the interceptor, his race salvator, the intermediary. The God influenced man, all these He saw and why? Why conjured up this Ancient of history? Alas! It was only a phonograph playing a Hebrew song: "Eil niuice rachmim" (song to the dead). The impassioned plea was wonderful. Touching, tho we knew not the language of Hebrew, but the soul and passion we understood. We heard the cry of heart even as the Jew who was passing and stopped, who wept as he thot back, looked back on days past, way yonder in the receding years—and wept.

WASHINGTON CITY SIDE LIGHTS Washington Monument a Motion Picture Screen picture exhibitors' business. The officers in charge of the affair have been very careful about this, for the reason that they do not wish in any way to offend the exhibitors, many of whom have large investments in apparatus, etc., at stake which might be jeopardized by the establishments of free motion picture shows in the public parks. The fact that the work that is being carried on by the bureau in the showing of this film is of an educational character solely is being carefully emphasized. In addition to the reels of film showing the national parks there is also a reel showing the growth of golden rod from the seed to the flower. The series will be given during the summer not only in this city, but in most of the large cities, and many of the smaller towns throughout the country. For the purpose of carrying on this work the bureau secured a big motor truck which is equipped with a projecting apparatus, screen and all the necessary paraphernula for showing pictures. Every section of the country is to be visited by the representatives of the bureau with their films. Finley Is Greatest Camera Dodger in Congress Finley Is Greatest Camera Dodger in Congress DAVID EDWARD FINLEY, the representative of the Fifth South Carolina district, is the greatest camera dodger in the Sixty-fourth congress.

The other day, while Representative Barnhart of Indiana, chairman of the committee on printing, was struggling to have his revised printing bill adopted by the house, Representative Edwards of Georgia offered an amendment providing that a picture of each member of congress shall accompany each biographical sketch in the Congressional Directory. It was then that Representative Finley rose to his full height. "The motive of the gentleman in offering his amendment is to have the Congressional Directory contain photographs so that a person looking at the photographs would be able to recognize a member of the house?" he asked. "Yes," answered Mr. Edwards, "largely for the purpose of identification." "Then," drawled Mr. Finley, "the gentleman would discriminate against me. Eighteen or twenty years ago I thought I was good enough looking to have a photograph taken. Since then I have not had one taken and never expect to have another. I should have to stand on my photograph of twenty years ago." "Well, I think the gentleman is better looking now than he was twenty years ago, and I am not saying that with any reflection on his appearance twenty years ago," said Mr. Edwards as the house tittered. New Rolling Kitchen for the Army Is Adopted New Rolling Kitchen for the Army Is Adopted AFTER much experiment and many tests of rolling kitchens from both domestic and foreign sources, the military authorities believe that they now have found a satisfactory type of rolling kitchen of American design. The are capable of furnishing hot stew and coffee for one battalion. The first of the kitchens was tried out at El Paso, Tex., and the reports of it were favorable. Some suggestion was made that it might be advisable to add to the equipment of the rolling kitchen so as to produce roast meats, but the authorities are against such additions, for the reason that it is considered wise and prudent to limit the purposes of the rolling kitchen to articles, such as stew and coffee, that may be considered as essential and at the same time as sufficient in the way of sustenance to troops that may be separated from a larger menu. Contracts have been made by the war department with a Boston company for 10,000 of the new army emergency rations, with a view to ascertaining to what extent it will be possible to obtain the ration in the open market and so avoid the necessity of accumulating a large supply to be held in storage in anticipation of a sudden demand for its issue. The new ration is in the form of cracker, and it is composed of flour and lean beef in equal quantities, with one-half as much dried milk and a little invert sugar intended as a binder for the purpose of rendering the cracker less likely to crumble, in addition to which the invert sugar has restorative qualities that will add to the value of the ration as a sustaining provision. The nutritive qualities have been tested thoroughly by the experts and pronounced satisfactory. It remains, of course, to test the keeping qualities of the ration, which may be determined only by long periods of storage under various conditions of climate and temperature.

In Woman's Realm Afternoon Suits That Are Correct Exponents of Accepted Mode Airy Headwear for Summer. Two afternoon suits, one of silk pimpin and one of taffeta, proclaim themselves correct exponents of the accepted mode, but each has something unusual and chic to boast of. In the suit of bronze taffeta at the right it is the clever use of shirrings that gives it its bit of distinction. The skirt is extra full and is shaped into the waist with parallel rows of shirrings set close together. This management of the skirt is familiar enough, but the same idea introduced in the coat is unusual. A short yoke and high collar are formed by shir- FULFILLING REQUIR ILLING REQUIREMENTS OF FASH A FULFILLING REQUIREMENTS OF FASHION. rings which gather up the silk and shape the garment to the figure. The collar ends in a narrow frill lined with a second frill of white organdie.

The belt is clasped at the front with ornamental clasps of composition. In the poplin suit at the left a pointed tunic and peplum suggest a flouenced skirt.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS --- Capt. Allen Wadsworth Washington, a graduate and for years assistant to Maj. R. R. Moton as commander of cadets, has been appointed to succeed Major Moton. After having been identified with the institute as student and officer for 31 years, Major Moton left Hampton, Va., for Tuskegee, Ala., where he was installed as principal on May 25. At the forty-eighth anniversary exercises, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal, presented to the board of trustees a total of 159 candidates for diplomas and certificates. Of these, 69 young men received certificates from the various departments of the agricultural and trade schools, and 49 men and 43 women received diplomas from the academy school. Twelve of the men and all of the women also were candidates for state teachers' certificates. Several of the graduating class gave short accounts of their work. The National Home association, of which Alexander B. Trowbridge of New York is the president, held its second annual meeting at Hampton, all six of the constituent associations being represented. This organization insures the permanency of the annual trip to Hampton at this time for several years. Mr. Trowbridge was personally responsible for organizing these special parties. He and the other officers of the National association were re-elected. Trustees and visitors to the institute have commented most favorably on the tone of the annual report which Doctor Frissell has submitted to the board. It is said to be one of the most encouraging in some years. In the report Doctor Frissell reviews the work of the institution's most distinguished graduate, Doctor Washington, who labored for the economic emancipation of the Negro. Of the appointment of Major Moton to succeed Doctor Washington as head of Tuskegee school, Doctor Frissell says: "It was a matter of pride and congratulation to the friends of Hampton that the trustees of the Tuskegee school should have chosen as Doctor Washington's successor to the most important position which a Negro can occupy in this country, if not in the world, a man whose entire school education was received in the same institution from which his predecessor was graduated." Major Moton's speeches made in the North are quoted for three things for which he is especially thankful to Hampton: "It has helped his people to an appreciation of the dignity of the labor of the hands. It has helped whites and blacks to work together in harmony and mutual usefulness by offering a platform where they can come together for discussion of their difficulties. It has helped to create in the Negro respect for his own race." First steps toward the establishment of a Negro college in the city were taken at an educational rally of the Baptist convention (colored) at the city auditorium at Houston, Tex. A fund of $600 was raised at the rally, and it was expected that additional contributions at the various colored churches Sunday night would bring this up to $1,000. A number of speakers, including Mayor Ben Campbell, P. W. Horn, superintendent of schools, and Dr. J. L. Gross, pastor of the First Baptist church appeared on the program for the rally at the auditorium and ex- Attention has been called to the fact that congress, while increasing the army, is not providing for a single additional Negro regiment. Further, it is said the war department holds it cannot designate such a regiment without congressional authority. This is calculated to make Brigadier General Andrew Sheridan Burt, so long colonel of the Twenty-fifth infantry; Gen. Guy V. Henry, colonel of the famous Ninth Cavalry; Lieut. Gen. Henry C. Corbin, Col. Aaron Daggett, and other noted soldiers who have commanded "the colored troops who fought nobly," turn over in their graves. Take them by and large, no commands ever assembled under the United States flag have better records than the Negro regiments, the Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry. For loyalty, discipline, bravery, soldierly pride and fighting ability they are unexcelled. Congress has not covered itself with glory in this important army business. Here is a matter where it can in Canada will spend $785,000 this year for maintenance of experimental farms. Cigarettes that are lighted by rubbing them on the side of a box like safety matches have been invented in England. Excluding private plants, it has been estimated that electric railway, lighting and power plants in this country have absorbed a total of about 50,000 tons of copper. Money-Making inventions. It is not always the greatest invention that brings the largest financial reward. Roller skates are said to have brought their inventor nearly $5,000,000, while nearly half a million was realized by the man who first devised boot lacees. The inventor of the safetypin, who took the idea from the reproduction of a Pompeian fresco, made $10,000,000. On the other hand, Charles Bourseul, who discovered and described the principle of the telephone in 1855, died poor; Michaux, the plained the necessity for the establishing of an institution of higher education for the Negroes in Houston. E. H. Branch presided at the meeting. "If progress is to be made by the colored race," said Mayor Campbell in the course of his address, "they must begin with the schools. Money spent on the public schools will come back to the donors with compound interest. You can be sure that you can use neither your time nor your money to better advantage than in educating your children, and the city of Houson will be glad to assist you in the undertaking in any way possible." More than 500 women bearing a petition several hundred feet long and containing over 5,000 names invaded the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church at Philadelphia. The demonstration was under the auspices of the Women's Parent Home and Foreign Missionary society, Mrs. Mary F. Handy, president, and the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary society, Mrs. S. G. Simmons, president, and the object was to memorialize the general conference to allow the women to send their money direct to the mission fields instead of sending it to the missionary board for distribution. They charge that on account of the present plan of procedure there is a falling off in their receipts and they wish to avoid this by sending the money direct. The matter was referred to a special committee. Here is an estimate of vessels withdrawn from this country's commerce since the beginning of the European war: German and Austrian ships interned throughout the world, 3,024 ships, 6,633,000 tons; British ships requisitioned, 2,300 ships, tonnage not known; Russian ships requisitioned, number unknown, but about 900,000 tons. No reliable figures can be gained about the French and Italian ships taken for war use, but the number is known to be large. Perhaps the total number of ships lost to trade is 7,000. To this must be added the vast number that has been sent to the bottom since the war began, about which no figures are obtainable now. An organization has been formed, and plans are being perfected by some of the most prominent colored physicians of Norfolk, Va., and their white friends to build in the Virginia hills near Washington, an extensive tuberculosis hospital where poor patients may receive treatment without pay. It is the purpose of the association to co-operate with health commissions and officials in every way possible to stamp out or modify the disease in the race. The geological survey has estimated that the Colorado river in an average year discharged into the Gulf of California 338,000,000 tons of slit and salt equal to twenty tons for each square mile of land the river drains.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERB, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright by Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JUNE 18. THE PHILIPPIAN JAILER. LESSON TEXT—Acts 16:16-40. GOLDEN TEXT—Bellevue on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house—Acts 16:31. Dean Vaughn has said of this lesson that in it "we have an epitome of the whole history of the gospel." The time was A. D. 50 or 52 and the place was Philipp, an important city, as before suggested. I. The Damsel Delivered of Demons (vv. 16:18). On their way to the praying place where they had met Lydia, the disciples met this maid who "had a spirit, a Python." Greek soothsayers were supposed to be inspired by Apollo, who killed a great snake at Mt. Parnassus and left it to rot. The girl was probably possessed of hysteria and thus spoke strange words, and her condition brought much profit to her masters, who professed to interpret her words. This evidence of evil possession awoke a sympathetic response in Paul's heart. "Her misery and degradation were a symbol of the degradation, as Lydia's sweet and benevolent Christian character was of the transfiguration of womanhood."—Stalker. Her ery after Paul was perhaps that they were the slaves of some god, even as she was the slave of Apollo. The Gadarene (Luke 8:28) used similar language. Paul did not at once stop her (v. 8), perhaps to avoid a controversy, but his deliberation made more profound the final deliverance wrought. Worn out at last with her cries, but taking no credit himself, Paul spoke the name of Power which had foretold just such acts (MK. 16:17; Lk. 9:1; Lk. 10:17). 11. The Disciples in Prison (vv. 19-24.) Of no further commercial value, the slave drivers sought revenge by inciting a mob to attack Paul and his companions. So today the liquor interests would seek remuneration for the loss of their "business," and anathematize their opponents, while the underworld tries to overthrow all who seek to restrain them. Paul and Silas were accused of "troubling" the city, for the trade has been interfered with. It, indeed, went hard with them thus to be unjustly set upon and finally, through the connivance of the spieless authorities, to be incarcerated in a filthy dungeon. Still, though the majority was against them, yet the mob was not right (compare 17:5; 18:12; 19:28-29), and they had One on their side who was sufficient (Rom. 8:28). III. Deliverance and Salvation (v. 25-35). Christ before Pilate was accused of sedition, and these flogged disciples were likewise innocent sufferers. (1) Prayer and praise (25-26). "Praying, they sang hymns,"—in the midst of that heterogeneous lot of prisoners they did not, could not, keep silent. The result was attentive listening by the other prisoners and by a loving Heavenly Father, who shock the place to evidence his interest (v. 26). (2) The jailed delivered. The place was so shaken that every barred door was opened and the staples of the stocks were so loosed as to liberate every prisoner. (3) The jailer saved. The brutal one is now the anxious inquirer, and becomes a good type for all to follow who are, out of Christ. (a) He saw he was lost. He was subject to the same death as his escaped prisoners. "Supposing" (v. 27) has darkened many lives, and our greatest sorrows are often imagined. Face to face with death, the jailer would plunge into an eternity for which he was not prepared. Paul's clarion call brought the jailer to express his anxiety (v. 29), and it was not a trifling nor skeptically indifferent man who appealed to Paul. He was brought face to face with two holy men, with God and with eternity. Those to whom he came knew the facts, had faith, and could meet the emergencies of life with confidence. (b) The jailer's question and its answer. This question is the most important of life, and the answer is very simple. What is it to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? The same as to believe in any other person. He is to take him (John 1:12) as Savior, Lord and King, as the only One who can deliver from the penalty and power, and finally from the presence of sin (Acts 2:36; Heb. 7: 25). It is to commit all we have and are to him (II Tim. 1:12) for guidance; to surrender absolutely to him, cast all upon him and leave all with him. God is love, and we can safely trust in his justice, yet in his son the full penalty of sin has been met and through him we are saved from its depression and power unto a godly character and unselfish career. "Salvation is loving everything God hates."—Sam Jones. (c) Those saved. Our trust makes a way for Christ to save and for us to make a trial of him. He does the rest. The result was first a service of ministration (v. 33). washing the disciples' stripes as he had been washed from sin, and then a service of testimony by being baptised in the water reservoir or swimming bath common to such houses. "The purple-dealer of Thyatire; the native slave girl with the divining spirit; the Roman jailer—all alike acknowledged their new faith; one an Asalic, the other a Greek, and the third a Roman." IV. The Humbled Magistrates (vv. 35-40). The jailer evidences joy, hospitality and a changed home, which news must have reached the magistrates. Their early command was to "let these fellows go." Paul here rises to his full dignity. Beaten openly, condemned without trial and verdict, does not allow them to cover their crime and blunder by stealth. The magistrates were liable to loss of position, goods, and even life, and hence willingly did all that Paul required.

There both white and colored citizens have figured prominently in the affairs of the commonwealth as well as in national affairs, and before the decline of steamboat traffic this little-village was one of the principal business points of the West. The strong bond of friendship and respect which for many years has been noticeable between the white and black residents of Louisiana has been due very largely to the life and influence of Charles P. Covington, for many years a member and active worker in the Grand Lodge and one of the most successful business men of our race. For many years all political honors went to him and to Prof. J. H. Pelham, and they had the final word in matters which affected the weal of folks in the fabric of the Republican party. The Hon. Robert A. May, mayor of Louisiana, delivered an address of welcome which was tinged with most sincere fellowship and was responded to by Brothers Nelson C. Crews and JOE E. HERRIFORD. Joe E. Herriford upon part of the visiting Masons, after which the labor of the session began with a most brilliant address from Grand Master Rickettts. Grand Master Rickettts, during his administration, had set a fine example in the management of details and economy of time. It had been his custom to prepare his annual addresses in time to furnish an advance copy to the committee on annual address, and this committee was able to study the paper before going to the meeting. In this way the various recommendations could be better distributed and the value of each point of consideration could be better presented to the Grand Lodge. Other work of the body was in like manner anticipated by the practical vision of the presiding officer, and during these three years there was little of the thurry and slackness of work which in too many cases marks the labors of grand conventions. The meeting at Louisiana marked the close of the service of Grand Master Ricketts, and no one could dispute the fact that it had been one of the brightest periods in the history of the organization. He kept close around him in those whom he could safely confide and those whose ability he freely drew upon at all times. He was strong in his likes and dislikes, but withal was never severe toward those who opposed him or differed from him, simply allowing them to live in their little world of discontent all by themselves and never worried by their frowns or mutterings. Two important changes in the workings of the Grand Lodge were effected at this session. The first was the submission of a constitutional amendment which abolished the long abused proxy system. This was accomplished without bitter opposition from those whose pockets had been made to carry these valuable papers, but the majority was strongly against the old system, which many grand lodges had already discarded. True, it was a traditional right of each subordinate lodge to be represented in the Grand Lodge, but it certainly was not a traditional vestiture in any brother to secure authority from a lodge which he had never seen to cast its voting strength for his own elevation to office or for the advancement of one of his friends. Of course Dr. Ricketts had for many years used these proxies himself, and had found them very handy upon several occasions, but it is a credit to him that he discovered their iniquitous properties in due time and that he placed upon them the seal of his personal and official disapproval. The other reform came in the change made in the manner of transferring membership from one lodge to another and was offered by the Grand Master the year before. It provided that a member might retain his membership in one lodge until he was assured that he could enter the roster of another and was a very sensible bit of legislation. On the year previous Brothers Dawley, Love and Herriford had been constituted a special committee to formulate a plan of burial expense which should be borne by the Grand Lodge instead of the local lodges. This idea had its strong opponents and for a while seemed to have little chance of success. The committee brought in a very simple and practical plan, all ready for adoption as a part of the organic law and the matter was ordered to be sent to the lodges for their approval. It was afterwards adopted and is at the present working quite satisfactorily to all. During all the session great interest naturally centered upon the election of a successor to Dr. Rickettts, whose tenure expired by limitation of the law.

How are you for Hughes? Only seven weeks to the coming of the Masonic Jubilee and the National Negro Business League. Have you done your share? With a united front and harmony all down the line the Republicans can carry Missouri by 40,000 majority. The editor received from Mr. Chas. D. Frazier of Grand Canyon, Ariz., enclosing contribution for Allen Chapel and saying that he would attend the Grand Lodge session in August, which his many friends will rejoice to hear. Granting that strict morality is essential in high places, there can be no valid reason for making colored professional people the storm center of agitation, especially when many of the agitators are worse than the agitated. The business man who goes home and tells his wife all the ins and outs of his daily transactions only to have them made chief topics at the next female whist party need not be surprised if some of his customers drift away to parts unknown. Some Negroes cannot get close to white people without carrying them slanderous reports concerning other Negroes, and strange to say, many white people cultivate this sort of acquaintance with race traducers and maligners.

The boys of the Association will go on the second overnight hike on Friday night, June 16th. This hike will be to Independence, Mo. Two crews of Fred Harvey dining car men, ten in all, have made their headquarters in our building during two days of this week awaiting their assignment to the Knights Templar special train which goes direct to the Los Angeles Conclave. Renovations and improvements amounting to several hundreds of dollars are being planned for the next few weeks. It is the hope of the Association management to greet the thousands of visitors coming to the city this summer with one of the most complete Y. M. C. A. buildings of the country. A committee consisting of Dr. T. A. Fletcher, Prof. G. N. Grisham, Rev. J. M. Booker, P. C. James and J. L. Steele has been appointed by the members of the noon day volley ball class to go before the park board and ask for a reservation of one tennis court for outdoor volley ball during the summer season. The boys are getting the most out of the big sanitary swimming pool. Recently the association purchased a large amount of alum in order that every precaution and hygienic means will be provided for our men and boys. The water is practically 100 per cent pure. Betty & Sam's Little Corner —That those who holler the loudest pay the least. —That with some people the paying of even a small bill is like "pulling eye-teeth." —That some people are friendly in fair weather, but disappear at the first sign of trouble. —That some colored people who want to marry are not able to take care of themselves on half rations. —That some people live together ten years and more before they discover that they are not suited to each other. —That if you pay your debts as you go, you won't have to go down the back streets and the alleys to keep from facing the creditors. Amen. —That two colored women were quarrelling and one in an outburst of anger said to the other: "I knew you when you was so raggedy you could see your heart beating." —That not long ago, Tom Brown, a mulatto man, was traveling with a white theatrical troupe through the South, and in order to avoid being jim-crowed and perhaps lynched, he passed for caucasian and other nationalities and got away with it until he landed in a small town in Alabama, where there was but one colored man, a porter at the hotel where Tom stopped. Tom was disguised in both appearances and brogue, as everything from his famous Chinese character to a Dago during his stay at the hotel, and on the morning that the show left tow $a$, from the depths of his big furled coat he inquired of the porter "how muchee to takee trunkee to depot." The porter looked at him suspiciously and said, "one dollar." Tom gave him the dollar and when he got over near the door he sat the trunk down, turned around and surveyed the famous performer from head to foot Getting down on one knee the porter dug down into his coat pocket and produced a pair of dice. Tossing the dice to Tom and the dollar on the floor before him and with a broad grin on his face, said: "Brother, you done passed for everything else since you been heah. Lemme see if you can pass for this bean." Employment for members only. Bell phone East 3259Y. 1323 Jackson. Ave. Kansas City, Mo.

Hence this big chorus will be thoroughly drilled and competent to sing the great numbers from the masters, both Colored and white. During "National League Week" the colossal band chorus will furnish the entertainment for the thousands of people gathered in this city. Visitors will have an opportunity to hear an organization of unprecedented magnitude, marvelous in its conception, grandeur in its execution. Singers may see Mr. Smith for assignment to chorus and rehearsal. Only about 15 or more musicians are wanted for the band. Vocalists will be added at once. There are about 250 musicians throughout the country who owe their training to the astute bandmaster. Numbers of these will be here "League Week," together with a portion of the famous Tuskegee Concert Band, thus will probably be effected a sort of reunion of what might be termed "Smith Musicians."

"Sorry, Mr. Walters, but my orders are definite—you must pay the bill within 48 hours or I shall have to close you up." "You are subjecting me to a severe hardship, sir." Mr. Thomas Biggs, senior partner of Biggs, Bluett & Co., opened eyes and palms expansively, shrugged his shoulders, arose from his seat and took up his hat. "You are asking of me impossibilities." spoke Sidney Walters. "Every dollar I have in the world is invested in this business. Actual orders far overplus my liabilities. In another month we will have not only a free deck, but a surplus. I beg of you to alter your hard decision." "Business is business," spoke the other blandly. "The house went all over your case before I left the city. You owe us $2,000. It is 30 days past due. Our rules are invariable. I came down here to look into affairs. I find that your quick assets are shy over 40 per cent, where in every healthy business they should stand in the proportion of two to one as to active debts, I find almost the reverse. What in the world ever made you bulk all your capital in fixed assets? It is rufous. It means slow liquidation in case of a failure. Commercially your business proposition is not solvent. We shall have to have our money by Saturday morning or file a bill for an accounting." "Which means ruin for me," said Walters drearily. "If you would give me time to go to the city and apply to some of the banks—" "Iimpossible. You would have to delay me here for several days, and my time is precious. Can you not get your friends here to assist you?" "I am practically a stranger," replied Sidney in a low, strained tone, "and the community, as you know, is a poor one." Sidney, indeed, spoke the truth. When he determined to start in business—the manufacturing of fine contact metal points for intricate vehicle equipment—he had discounted the elements of bulk as to shipments. An abandoned plant at Acton was offered A "Impossible." for a mere song. He purchased it. He paid cash for his machinery outfit and overbought as to raw material. It was with a great sense of comfort that he finally opened the little factory, giving employment to some 20 men. Expenses and wages were low. It was true that Acton was 20 miles from a railroad. It did not even boast an automobile. The town was isolated—shut in to itself—but once a week a slow lumbering side-wheel steamer came up from the city with passengers and freight and took back the product of the plant, packed in neat boxes, not many of them, for the points brought a high price, were manufactured under an exclusive patent and sold readily. Sidney had settled down to a humdrum routine, glad to be apart from the jar and bustle of the city. He figured out a growing business based upon light overhead expense. His help was not overworked; he was modest in his style of living. He brought work and comfort to many a poor workman. His ambition was satisfied. And now, suddenly, terrifically alarming, came the advent of Biggs. Many a time Sidney had realized that he was straining his credit, but the orders ahead were sure future income. The plant and equipment represented solid values. He had not been business man enough to comprehend that the ironclad rules of business demanded quick assets that could be swiftly realized on in case of exigency. Mr. Biggs left for his hotel. Sidney nank into a chair dejectedly. He caught the echo of a sob in the next room and went to its open doorway and peered in. His office girl sat leaning over her typewriter, a handkerchief applied to her eyes. "Will you please let me go home, Mr. Walters?" pleaded Arline Tracey. "I-I have a dreadful headache." "Surely," acquiesced Sidney. "Somewhat has come up where we will suspend business for a day or two." He watched her dainty form and colorless face sadly as Arline left the office. It was of her and the workmen he was thinking. If he had to give up business what would they all do. For the girl he had always felt a great interest. She was an orphan, living with some relatives in the village and had come to him asking for employment the day the plant had opened SUCCESSFUL BOY FARMERS The secret of the success of the boys' and girls' club work and the dozen different projects which the "farmers of the future" are carrying on so successfully is to be found in Governor Willis' five-worded remark. The boys who are showing the men how to farm are the heroes of the agricultural world of today. They are the evangelists who are carrying the gospel of better farming into every section of the state and showing their fathers and mothers how to farm better and how to live better on the farms. The United States department of agriculture is in charge of this work. Their experts have built up a national organization with each state and county as a unit, and their paid agents are in charge of the details of organization and tabulation of all the work that has been done and is to be done. The season of 1916 is now under way, and even the most optimistic in charge hesitate to predict how far the boys and girls will go before the season's results are known in solving the problems before the farmers of today and leading these same farmers into the bigger and happier farming life that is possible through the use of better methods and the gaining of better crops of higher quality and market value. He had told her kindly that there was little bookkeeping to do, he could run a typewriter himself and had planned to start out on an economical basis. Arline had told him that she required a very small salary, as her father had left her an investment in the city which brought her a cash return each six months. She would "grow up with the business;" she could surely be of some service to him, and Sidney hired her. Since then he had been glad of it. Arline proved a treasure. She took an interest in every detail of the business. She seemed happiest when the work was hardest and most pressing. The man from whom Sidney had purchased the plant was wealthy. Sidney wondered if he could not get him to help him out. He went late that afternoon to his home, to find that he had gone to visit a farm he owned at some distance and would not return until the following evening. Was it fate, or did a sense of regard for Arline, the longing of a lonely, troubled man influence Sidney to lessen his pace as he neared the house where Arline lived? She happened to be at the gate. He was glad to be invited into a cozy parlor. Arline was cheerful, anxious to entertain him. A little elf of a fellow—her cousin—prattled about Arline's pet carrier pigeon. D "She sent it away today," he confided to Silney, and Arline flushed hotly and had to explain that it was through this medium that she regularly corresponded with a very dear girl friend in the distant city. Silney met with a severe disappointment the next evening when he called on the man from whom he hoped to secure a loan. The latter had no ready funds. Silney longed to stop for another pleasant evening at the home of Arline, but it was late as he reached the house. He passed restless hours alone at home and consequently overslept himself the next morning. "What is this?" he voluntarily exclaimed, as entering the office the first thing that attracted his eye was a signed receipt in full from the Biggs firm. "Mr. Biggs left it," explained Arline, and flushed and paled, and began to tremble. "Why, I don't understand this!" "I paid it," confessed Arline, almost pleadingly. "Oh, Mr. Walters, don't be cross about it, please! I overheard you talking about quick assets. I sent a quick message to my friend in the city and got my investment changed into a certified check, and the carrier dove brought it safely here, and I paid Mr. Biggs," and Arline broke down there under the intense strain of the moment. The astonished Sidney stared at her, spellbound. Arline had saved the day. Arline had won the heart of a true man. And the outcome of the episode was life's noblest, most treasured asset—mutual love. Hypnotizing Animals. Hypnotizing a hen is a trick known to most country boys. It is an old experiment, first described by the Jesuit father, Athanasius Kirchner, who laid a hen on a table, held it firmly for a little while, and drew a chalk line in front of its eyes, with the result that it remained as if in catalepsy. In India it is known that a cobra caught by the neck and gently pressed will soon become stiff and remain so for a considerable time. A frog fastened to a board and turned suddenly upside down goes into a trance. If you pick up a crab and wave it in the air it becomes immobile, a female bending her legs over her abdomen, a male sticking them out straight. The same is true of the fresh-water crawfish. Among the insects "death-feigning" is common, and is often a means of saving the life of the insect. The hypnotic condition is induced in man by suggestion of physical inhibition, but in both cases sensory stimuli may assist. These stimuli may be optic (fixing the gaze on some object) or tactile (stroking the skin) or otherwise. Archer's Advantages. The eye cannot, of course, follow the progress of a bullet, and the rifleman may miss his game by the measure of one foot or five, yet never know the amount of his error. But the flight of the most swiftly sent arrow may be easily followed, and a "close" miss gives the shooter a self congratulatory thrill almost equalling the happiness of a center hit. There is a gratification in watching a shaft flash past the head of a justly indignant, much astonished squirrel. And there is real excitement, too, in watching a steelpointed arrow leap into the blue, there narrowly failing to intercept that rogue of the woods, the heavily flying crow. The archer's great advantage rests in the comparative silence with which his hunting may be carried on. A shot means the soft twang of a bow string and the low whisper of an arrow—and these sounds seldom greatly frighten game—Outing. Extinguishing Burning Liquids Extinguishing Burning Liquids Many people cannot understand why it is permissible to use water for extinguishing some burning liquids, and not for others. For instance, water is effective for extinguishing burning alcohol and acetone, but quite the reverse in the case of gasoline or oil. The difference lies in the fact that water mixes readily, with the first two liquids, while gasoline and oil do not mix with water, but float upon its surface, and are thus scattered over a large area. However, the application of a very large quantity of water to a small quantity of burning oil may aid in extinguishing the fire by its cooling influence. 10. The World War II If the World Were Perfect. If all the world were perfect, an intolerable sameness would be stamped upon humanity from one end of the earth to the other. "For the love of God," someone has exclaimed, "let me retain my defects!" That is the only thing I really have." Moreover, there are some really quite captivating human defects. But it is important to control them so that they may never become obnoxious.—Anatole Le Braz. in the Outlook. THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW British life insurance companies, so far, have paid more than $20,000,000 in losses on war victims. An agricultural census of Uruguay has been postponed because of the losses occasioned by an invasion of locusts. The government of New Zealand supports and regulates the beekeeping industry and maintains an experimental apiary, where students are trained, Ceylon's first sugar refinery recently was put in operation and will use the sap of the palmyra palm from which to extract both sugar and alcohol. To warn of fire damp in mines an Austrian has invented a porous vessel through which the gas penetrates, makes electrical connections and rings a bell. That's what Gov. Frank B. Willis of Ohio said about the seventeen-year-old corn and wheat champion grower of the Buckeye state, after hearing the boy tell over a thousand farmers how they ought to go about raising corn and wheat in order to get three and as large yields per acre at much less Not many years ago a Southern lad, Jerry Moore, startled the entire country by growing more corn on one acre than many farmers are now growing on ten acres. Newspapers and magazines throughout the country commented on his excellent work, and predicted that farmers would find that they might also grow larger and better quality crops if they would follow his methods. They did not realize until after the next season just what this boy's achievement was worth to the country, not until they learned that the entire South was following Jerry Moore and growing more corn that sold for millions of dollars. Each year the work of the boys and girls has grown, and the end is farther than ever away. The boys have been specializing in growing crops and live stock, the girls in tending gardens, canning farm products and studying home economics and better home-life. In numbers the boys and girls are several times greater than the standing army of the United States. In enthusiasm they are far ahead of any other organized body in the world. In importance and in recorded results the world has never seen the equal of the same boys and girls. And the season of 1916 has just opened—the season that is certain to double or triple in results the last and greatest season of 1915. To best understand what the boys and girls found when they started their work, it is necessary to look back through the centuries and see how the science of farming began. The occupation of farming is one of the oldest in the history of the world. When men knew little else, they knew how to plant seed and reap a harvest that was sufficient for their daily needs. During many centuries, the farmer was a plodder, who worked that he and his family might exist. Probably he found little joy and happiness in his work. The production of life in a seed was a mystery to him, and he accepted the mystery without trying to solve it. It was enough that the plant grew and produced fruit, and the early farmer never asked himself how he could treat his soil and the seed so that it would produce twofold instead of one. There was plenty of land, and so when one field did not produce well, he moved to another field or region, and did not bother about the first area. There came a time, however, when his soil became barren in great areas. The seed no longer grew as it had and the plants were weak and the fruit of little value. Then it was that science stepped in and the really scientific farming had a start. Science showed that soil that had been cropped until it was partly worn out could be restored to its productive ability by the return of the elements that had been removed. Science showed the farmer that the soil was a live thing and that the life in the soil must be maintained. It examined the roots of the plants and studied the way that the plant transforms the raw materials in the soil into the finished product of the fruit of the plant. It found that some plants had nodules on their roots that were filled with bacteria which had the power to take up nitrogen from the air, and it found many other truths that have since been the basis for much of the work done by agricultural teachers. During the last ten years the advance of the science of farming has been very rapid, but the practical application by the farmers of the principles and practices that have been proved valuable has not kept pace with the discoveries. It is the boys and girls who are catching up, and therein is the explanation of the results that they have been getting. Their parents might have done the same things, but they did not. The boys who are growing corn started where their fathers left off and put into practice the teaching that the fathers considered impractical theories. In most cases the parents kept their hands off, so far as the boys' acres were concerned. Many of them were suspicious of the entire work, and were content to let their boys enter because they thought that would be the best way for the "young 'uns" to be THE country lads and las-sies, are the na-tion's hope of fu-ture prosperity and strength GETTING AN EARLY START JERRY MOORE-SOUTHERN PIONEER IN CORN CLUB WORK A SEVEN-SEAR-OLD WHEAT GROWER DEWEY HANKS WHO TAUGHT OND HOW TO RISE CORN kept on the farms and contented. Now the attitude has been changed and the parents are as deeply interested as the boys and girls themselves, and in many states and sections the parents and children are contesting between themselves in order to see which can grow the bigger crops. A notable instance of this was shown in Bartholomew county, Indiana, where two years ago the boys beat the parents by a wide margin in the production of corn per acre, but where last year the parents "came back" by making their acres yield more than the acres tilled by the boys. This year the boys have put their heads together and have their plans laid to win back the records. Rapid as has been the advance of agriculture during the last ten years, the future is going to be filled with more wonderful revelations, through the work of the boys and girls and the inspiration that their work has been upon the farmers of today. If in the last ten years a farm has been able to produce double its former crops, the next ten years it will produce four times as much per acre with proper soil treatment and cultivation. On the acre of ground that last year yielded 200 bushels of potatoes, 400 and 600 bushels will be raised, because the boys have demonstrated that such yields can be produced. Over in the field where 30 bushels of corn was considered a good crop in a state where the average yield was only a few bushels more per acre—at least 90 to 100 bushels per acre will be raised in the future, because such boys as Dewey Hanes of Ohio raised 153.7 bushels per acre, and the winners in some other states outgrew him. "True education" is the basis for the work that the boys and girls are doing. The clubs are the mediums of practical instruction in the common duties of the farm and farm homes. The boys are taught better methods of farming, and the girls are taught better home methods. The agricultural colleges and experiment stations are finding that the boys and girls are better teachers and more practical experimenters because they are carrying the entire country with them toward better farming and better living on the farm. The "old folks" are learning the value of crop rotation, the use of fertilizers and manures, the need of proper tillage, good seed, and the other factors that enter into the efficient management of the soil and the farm. How can the parents help the boys and girls—is the question being asked the leaders in the club work by farmers in every section of the United States. Parents can and should help by encouraging them to enter the contests and organized clubs, and allowing the children the time from regular work with farm chores to tend their own plots of ground. The children should feel that they are partners on the farms. Parents, think what this work means to you before you refuse to help. You don't want your children to have the same hardships, the same toll with little to show for the years spent such as many of you have had in the past. You don't want your children to have the same discouragements because of seasons when the crops were poor and the market prices were low. You don't want your children leaving the farms and taking up lines of work that are less profitable, healthful and productive of happiness. You cannot afford to refuse your support and your co-operation during the coming season. From a financial reason alone—if for no higher reason—you cannot afford to go on with the same methods that you have been using in growing your crops and getting only half the yields that you should receive. If your boys can raise four times as much corn The works of Charles Dickens contain 1,425 different characters. The limit of the carrying power of thunder is about 15 miles, while 30 miles is not regarded as far for the sound of a big battle to travel. The government of Uruguay conducts an experiment farm, one of the chief objects of which is the production of seeds of the best quality. A loud speaking telephone has been adapted to the use of store window demonstrators, enabling them to talk to the crowds that assemble to watch them. Chinchillas, valuable fur bearing animals which inhabit high mountains in Chile, have been imported into England for breeding experiments on a farm. An electric motor, taking current from a light socket, has been invented to run a phonograph by friction with the record table without winding up the motor. HOME TOWN HELPS DENOTES RIGHT CIVIC SPIRIT Minneapolis Does Well in Honoring the Memory of Public-Spirited Citizen Who Deserved Well. Over in Minneapolis the other day they unveiled a monument to the memory of a man named Rowley. We didn't hear anything about it over this way, but in Minneapolis it was quite an event. This man Rowley, you see, was not a national character. He was just a plain citizen of Minneapolis. He was the man who gave that city its electric railway system. He was one of the builders of that thriving community. He was one of the men with the vision and the foresight, who helped lay the foundation stones of the metropolis of Minnesota. The people of Minneapolis are showing their appreciation for his worth and his sterling qualities. There are not very many cities in the country where monuments are unveiled to the memory of street railway magnates. Usually they are damned while they live and forgotten when they die. Other communities might profit by the example of Minneapolis. There such men as Rowley and others built a city for no other particular reason than that they wanted a city there. And, as a city, it is not yet 50 years old, but it has a population of 300,000 and is growing every day. Minneapolis has the right civic spirit and never demonstrated it in a better way than by erecting a monument to the memory of one of its own good citizens.—Huron Times-Herald. ART IN HOUSE TERRACING Subject That Deserves Much Thought as It Will Make or Mar Appearance of Home. Terraces, particularly house terraces, which are all those upon small grounds, belong to architecture, and should therefore be kept closely in connection with its kind. All house terraces, those close about or parallel to buildings, belong to the structure adjacent and should be kept as close up as possible. Terraces usually allow for a liberal bed of plants next to the buildings, then a path, a level apron of equal or slightly greater width on the outside of path, and then the terrace, if there be but one, drops down into the field. If there be more than one terrace each successive one as they leave the building must be broader than the one above, and thus they drop by ever-casing and more generous extent to the field below. This field does not mean a vast extent, but what remains of the premises. The mistake is often made, and it is a serious one, of building the terrace broader than the field, a reversal of art that is invigued against by-every authority who has written upon the subject. as you, or even twice as much per acre, you cannot afford to refuse to use their methods next season in growing your crops. If your boys can make twice as much money from one acre as you, are you going to be content to go on as you have been doing and let your children lose confidence in your farming knowledge and ability? Decidedly, you cannot afford it. Let's see how the boys are getting their record yields Take Jerry Moore of South Carolina, Dewey Hanes of Ohio, and Marius Malgren of Virginia—three of the most successful of the thousands of boys who have been showing present-day farmers how to farm. Study their own accounts of how they produced their crops and you will find that they tested their seed corn, they used the best seed corn that they could get, they prepared their seedbeds carefully and thoroughly, so that the young plants would have the very best opportunities to grow quickly and mature within the limits of their growing seasons. For Better Housing of Aliens. For Better Housing of Aliens. Prizes aggregating $2,100 have been offered by the National Americanization committee in a contest for plans for the housing of immigrants in industrial towns. Two groups of prizes are offered. The first covers plans for the housing of workmen in industrial communities not exceeding a population of 35,000. Entries may include designs for single family houses, combined family and lodging houses which will permit separation of the family from the lodgers or boarding houses or community dwellings for numbers of single men or of single women. The first prize in this group is $1,000, the second $500 and the third, fourth and fifth $100 each. Competitors are to assume that the community is a new one produced by a new industry They knew that the plants had to be fed, and they used manures and fertilizers liberally. Thousands of other boys did the same. They wouldn't try to raise such yields without feeding their crops, any more than their parents would try to secure milk from their dairy cows without feeding the cows properly. They cultivate their fields carefully in order to kill the weeds and conserve the moisture for the growing plants. They gave a little more time to the acre and they reaped much greater crops as results. Nothing wonderful about all this. You say that these principles have been known and practiced for years. Certainly. The boys have made use of principles that have been known for scores of years, but they have not merely accepted the principles and then gone about their farming operations, leaving their knowledge as some men do their Sunday clothes and their religion—hung up in closets and forgotten after Sunday is past. —most of the workmen to be needed permanently and the rest, as construction gangs, from two to five years only. Welfare of the tenant and low cost are the two important considerations urged by the committee. Wages of the workmen are assumed to be from $2 a day to $20 a week. The boys didn't go at farming in a slipshod, halfway fashion, such as many farmers have been doing right along. They were not content to practice only one of the factors and disregard the others. They practiced them all together on their acre fields, and the results speak in a way that cannot be misunderstood. They didn't dump on some manure and leave the other factors to luck. The second group of prizes is offered for a satisfactory substitute for the deralled freight and cattle cars now used to house construction gangs on railways. In this group the first prize is $200 and the second prize $100. They used manure and fertilized, and they used the best seed and the best methods of preparing the land before the seed was planted and the best tillage methods afterwards. The fertilizer they used gave the crops the early start, and the maturity that makes quality and quantity, and they escaped the "soft" corn that their parents found in many fields where little or no attention had been given to soil and plant food management. How a Builder Financed Operations. A reader of the Home Builders' page writes as follows in explaining how he financed his home building: "First I 'caught' my building site and drew plans for house and barn to fit it. Next I made application for a loan to a co-operative bank, showed the land and the plan to the investment committee and subscribed for the requisite number of shares. The bank agreed to let me have the money in installments at various stages. Boys and girls, you have a right to be proud of the work you have done. You have a right to expect the co-operation of your parents and of the farmers in your community, and you are going to get it this year and in coming years. You have the government back of you, and it is spending thousands of dollars in each state so that you can add to the productive wealth of your state millions of dollars in added yields of crops that have higher market values. You boys are to be the farmers of the future and you are to find great joy and happiness in your work. You girls will some day preside over farm homes that will be happier because you have learned to bake and cook and can, and keep the house neat and tidy and home like, and make farm-life happier for your family. None of you is too young to begin, for before you know it you will be out of school, young men and women, making your own way in life. "I then went to my bank of deposit and borrowed money as I needed it, on short-time notes, to pay cash as I went alcing, where I could get 2 per cent off for cash, and called on the co-operative bank for money when I wanted to pay the notes. "In that way I got a number of advantages in buying and saved a good many dollars. I could buy of total strangers by giving my bank as reference."—Boston Herald. Shipbuildera Busy.
