To the members of the subordinate lodges, officers, supreme representatives, deputy grand chancellors of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of the Jurisdiction of North Carolina, Greetings: Proclamation Number Five, Series L, issued by the Supreme Chancellor under date of October 21, 1929, has been received by this office, announcing that the officers of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina have failed to borrow $5,335.76 for the payment of Pythian Temple Tax; that their "failure is by means of contumacy and not inability do"; that the Grand Jurisdiction of N. C. stands in contempt of our order of Knights of Pythias, and for which reason said Grand Lodge is suspended "from the Order of Knights of Pythias until it is restored to its good standing by the Supreme Lodge or the Supreme Chancellor thereof." GRAND LODGE RESOLUTION The Grand Lodge at its Annual Session passed the following resolution: "Whereas the Grand Jurisdiction of North Carolina is indebted to the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias in the sum of $5,335.76, and, whereas the funds in hand are not sufficient to liquidate the debt, be it therefore resolved that the Grand Chancellor and Grand Lodge Officers be empowered to borrow sufficient amount to satisfy the claims of the Supreme Lodge." I immediately conferred with the Insurance Commissioner and was advised that the Grand Lodge Officers would not be permitted to sign a note that would in any way obligate our Endowment Department if the Grand Lodge desired to continue to operate said department in N. C. With no assets belonging to the Grand Lodge aside from those to the credit of the Endowment Department, the Grand Lodge Officers found themselves in the market for a $5,000.00 loan with absolutely no collateral to offer. In the face of present financial conditions, $5,000. can hardly be borrowed upon the best securities, and with no form of collateral to offer the banks, it does not take a financial genius to understand why we failed to secure the loan. The Grand Lodge of North Carolina has been loyal to the Supreme Lodge. Our records show that we (Continued on Next Page) The situation between the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E. A., A. and A', and the Grand Lodge of North Carolina is anomalous. Under the old constitution the Supreme Lodge could levy taxes only on the Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge had exclusive, original jurisdiction on the subordinate lodges and the members thereof and could levy taxes on them. The Supreme Lodge could not do this. Then came a fight in the Supreme Lodge. After many years' contention the constitution Lodge proceeded to levy taxes on was changed and the Supreme the subordinate lodge members. This abolished States' rights. Had State Charters However, certain States had obtained State charters, were incorporated and existed as independent units and could maintain themselves regardless of the Supreme Lodge. Moreover they had insurance departments which were subject to the insurance department of their respective States. The States saw to it that enough money was left and assets maintained to protect the policy-holders of those States. These funds and assets were not permitted to be disturbed or endangered by any action of any outside power or authority, and this is the point at issue between Supreme Chancellor Green and the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of North Carolina. There is a general fund tax which can be used for any expenses, but this has been exhausted, expended, used up for salaries and running expenses and the Grand Lodge of North Carolina is in debt. A note given would cover all of the assets owned by North Carolina, including the personal belongings of the officers, the assets of the endowment department and it is to this the Commissioner of Insurance of North Carolina objects. He has already notified the Grand Lodge of North Carolina that its funds in payment of death claims have been overdrawn and special taxes have been levied to meet the deficiency. The Supreme Chancellor's Predica Now Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green demands that a further liability be incurred to meet the taxation for a Pythian Temple in Chicago. OFFIC W. S. S. Grand C.

The Commissioner of Insurance will not permit this. A similar condition exists in the State of Ohio. As a result the two Grand Jurisdictions have virtually withdrawn from the Supreme Lodge. In the meantime, the Supreme Lodge officials have involved themselves in the erection of a Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium at Hot Springs, Ark., and a Pythian Temple, which was to have been ten stories high, but which was reduced to six stories, at Chicago. Ill. Taxes Heavy The latter structure being in debt to the amount of $335,000. The buildings are not self-supporting. The taxes on the Chicago structure being $48,000 per year and the realizable income being estimated at $30,000 a year. This leaves a taxable income to be raised by the order of $18,000 per year. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green must get this money from somewhere, and in his effort so to do, he has struck a snag in the weaker Grand Jurisdictions, and his order is facing disruption, both in Ohio and North Carolina.

The total liability of the Supreme Lodge as set forth in Grand Chancellor Robert B. Barcus' circular is $1,638,519.75 (one million, six hundred and thirty-eight thousand, five hundred and nineteen dollars and seventy-five cents). These figures are culled from the reports of the Supreme Lodge and to them there is no dispute. Action Not Surprising In view of these facts, the actions of the Grand Lodge and the Grand Chancellor of Ohio and the Grand Lodge and the Commissioner of Insurance of North Carolina are not surprising. The Grand Lodge of Virginia is hopeless in inrears, the sum aggregating $15,000 is out against them for back taxes, with a depleted membership, two Grand Chancellors dead and the present one a new comer. The following correspondence will TEXANS LYNCH BANDIT AFTER STORMING JAIL Rope Breaks on the First Attempt to Hang Man Who Injured Deputy Eastland, Texas, Nov. 19.—Furious over his attempted jail break yesterday in which he dangerously deputy Reputed Sheriff Tom Jones, a mob of 200 men tonight lynched Marshall Ratliff, "Santa Claus bandit" of the Cisco Bank robbery in 1927. Ratliff was hanged from a telephone pole cable after the jailer had been captured and his keys taken. The bandit's body was strung up by a new grass rope, as nearly 1,000 people looked on. Was Naked Ratliff was naked when the mob took him from the jail. On the first attempt to hang Ratliff, who was here pending a sanity hearing which had delayed temporarily his death in the electric chair, the rope broke, and the mob waited for about fifteen minutes while a new grass rope was obtained. The rope was put around his neck and a score or more men hauled against Given Chance To Talk Someone in the crowd yelled: "Maybe he wants to talk," the hangm eased their pressure and Ratliff was lowered to the ground a second time. "Do you want to talk?" they asked him. "Yes," the doomed man gasped, pulling the rope free. "I've got something I want to say." Again they waited, while Ratliff stood looking into the faces about him. He mumbled something, unintelligible. "Hell," someone shouted, "he doesn't want to talk. String him up, and make a good job of it this time." The words "string him up," echoed from a hundred men and again the hangm bent their weight to the stout rope. This time he was left dangling in the air until dead. 1.000 Around Jail About a thousand people gathered around the jail tonight, but the lynching party consisted of only about 150 or 200 men. The leaders slipped into a side door of the jail, and attempted to get authorities to give them the bandit. When refused the men overpowered Jailer Gilbert and took his keys. Then they made their way upstairs to Ratliff's cell. It was not ascertained immediately whether Ratliff had removed his clothes, or whether they were torn from him. He was dragged down the stairs and down the street about 200 yards, to the business section of Eastland. The plan had at first been to take him to the public square, but the crowd, apparently impatient, decided to stop at the cable, as it appeared strong enough to hold the While the man was still hanging his body exposed to a cold wind, Judge Clyde L. Garrett was seen by a newspaperman. "Theyve got Ratliff?" the judgege was queried. "Yes." Judge Garrett replied. "I guess the county will have to bury him." Ratliff's head was bandaged, the result of his attempted escape yesterday. Physicians tonight said Deputy Jones probably would not recover. Pythians Will Hold Meeting.

AN IMPORTANT RACIAL DECISION The Supreme Court of West Virginia has just handed down an important opinion in which it holds as void the provision appearing in many deeds of its own and other States that the property described by the deed shall not be transferred to a Negro. In the case decided, the court below had granted the petition of H. B. White, who asked for a decree to compel cancellation of a fee simple deed conveying to Lewis White, Negro, title to a lot adjoining property owned by petitioner. In a prior deed conveying the lot in question, there appeared a provision that the property "shall not be conveyed, demised, devised, leased or rented to any person of Ethiopian race or descent for a period of years." This is a small restrictive provision in such matters, with the exception that the word "African" generally appears instead of "Ethiopian". Sometimes the prohibition is indirect, carrying a simple requirement that the grantee be a person of Caucasian descent. Apparently ignoring the ethnological question of whether a Negro is an Ethiopian, the West Virginia appellate court faces the issue squarely and declares: "On principle and reason sustained by what we deem the better considered cases, and, we believe, by the weight of authority, we hold that a restriction on alienation to the property of the less fee-simple estate, is void as wholly incompatible with complete ownership." 64TH ANNIVERSARY FOURTH BAPTIST CHURCH The Fourth Baptist Church, Rev. F. W. Williams, pastor, is planning to celebrate its 64th anniversary the week of December 2. Speakers announced later. Major Rice M.

Send all orders to THE PLANET, 311 N. 4th St., Richmond, Va. fwc Careful study of the effect of nearly 500 stores of the great Montgomery Ward & Co. retail chain on general trading conditions in individual localities has convinced George B. Everitt, president of the Ward organization, that the chain store is a real help to merchants in whose towns the stores operate. Larger opportunities, better credit, improved advertising and buying and increased profits, according to Mr. Everitt, are among the resulting benefits. The wall of the "calamity howler" which greeted the early days of the chain store has died down to a bare whisper, in the opinion of Mr. Everitt and of many independent observers as well. In a recent interview, Naum Husbandzki deals in brief with the chain store in the small town, setting forth reasons substantiating his contention that the chain store is a distinct asset, and not a liability, to a community. The following is taken from Mr. Everitt's article: "From what I have learned through personal observation and numerous intimate chats with small-town store owners, I find that the chain store is a desirable neighbor. In fact, several communities have exhibited impatience because our program did not permit us to make immediate entry into this or that town. In ways in which the chain store aids the local merchant. A wider trade area is an important help to local merchants. For instance, the day a chain organization of national fame and established reputation appeals a store, that locality immediately becomes a trading focus for anywhere from dozens to thousands of families disposed toward the chain organization, but not in the habit of making that town the center of commerce. For example, of Montgomery Ward & Co., which for a half century has been selling by mail to customers in practically every community in the United States. "As an example of the inflow of people the day a chain store is opened I will cite the instance of Charlton Iowa. The population of this thriving community is several hundred more than 5,000; on Ward's opening day 12,057 visitors were tabulated Hickory, N. C., with a population of 12,057 visitors; on Ford, Ora, with 5,768 inhabitants, had 12,763 at the Ward opening. And this ratio is maintained all along the line. These towns are not exceptional, for at one of our openings we had more than 40,000 first-visit guests. Thus, the chain store is not the only one which profits, for on opening days and ensuing days merchants have reported their largest sales.

Dick Shikat WORLD CHAMPION WRESTLER BY DIRT OF SEVERAL STATE ATHLETIC COMMISSIONS INCLUDING NEW YORK HE LOOKS LIKE GOTCH George Shikat has brought back speed and action to the wrestling game. His victory over Gina Garibaldi took just 26 minutes, 36 seconds. It was of course a full Nelson that did the trick—Shikat is making his full Nelson famous. This wrestler's resemblance to the renowned Gotch is very marked. 4 GEORGE B. EVERITT, PRES MONTGOMERY WARD C that the presence of a chain store in a town is the incentive which usually results in a toning up of merchandise methods of independents—a process which reacts to the independent. In fact, the chain store itself is a model of excellence that many independent copy and sometimes improve upon. "This does not necessarily mean that they enter into direct competition with the chain store, but it does mean that, value for value, they learn to price their goods on a basis of equable mark-up depending on quick turnover for large profits—and let this be in large letters: AND EQUABLE MARK-UP IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS OF GETTING BLASTING MARK-UP. MARK-UP STORES OR INDEPENDENTS. In a sense, the chain store is a school for merchandising which the independent may attend without charge. AMERICA'S BEST, KNOWN 'LITTLE BOY' "After an intimate experience with chain-store management, I firmly believe and know that the chain store is not putting an end to local, independent merchandising, nor is there a need to change the case. The little fellow, so-called is not such a poor chap, after all, and, according to the best available estimate, he is not as yet done for—he still transacts more than 60 per cent of the nation's retail business. The future, as I view the distant day, is bright for chain stores. It does not depend upon doing away with indemnity for the retail function side by side with the independents." North Carolina Pythians The Grand Lodge of N. C. paid the taxes that were levied at the new York Session for four years in advance, and accepted in good faith the natural inference and implied promise that its members would be relieved of further taxation for the Pythian Temple for at least the four years for which they had paid. When the proclamation of the Supreme Chancellor went forth announcing another emergency tax of $1.00 per member just two years after we had been ordered to pay the tax for four years in advance, hundreds of our members refused to pay it and quit the Order. Nine hundred and ninety-six of our members did pay, and check was turned over to Supreme Chancellor in High Point in 1928 in payment of taxes for these men. At the same High Point meeting we found ourselves with quite a number of unpaid death claims; and an extra assessment was ordered levied by the Insurance Commissioner to take care of the obligations to the beneficiaries of our deceased Sir Knights. These handicaps, together with unemployment and stringent financial conditions reduced our membership more than 3,000. THE GRAND LODGE OFFICERS MADE OFFER TO SUPREME CHANCELLOR Finding that the loan could not be obtained, as the Grand Lodge aside from its Endowment Department did not have the required assets to secure same, and having received a communication from the Supreme Chancellor in which he stated, "That our emergency taxes amounted to $4,994.65 with interest up to date of payment," and that our Grand Lodge could not "be represented at the Session of the Supreme Lodge in Indianapolis, Ind., in August, 1929, until such Taxes with interest have been paid in full," we submitted another proposition. We asked to be permitted to pay the taxes on the basis of our present membership offering to collect within 60 or 90 days as much cash as we could from the members of the subordinate lodges, and take the note of each delinquent lodge for the remainder of its indebtedness. We further offered to place these notes in the bank, endorsed by the Grand Lodge Officers personally, secure the money on same, and forward to the proper Supreme Lodge Officers. To have asked the loyal men of N. C. to pay for themselves and the other men who whether by choice or necessity had quit the Order, because of heavy taxation, would have meant the complete disruption of the Grand Lodge. This proposition with my approval was sent to the Supreme Chancellor at Indianapolis, and copy sent both the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal and the Supreme Attorney. The Supreme Chancellor replied as follows: "Your communication to the Supreme Lodge setting forth the failure of your Grand Lodge to collect One Dollar each for members who died since July, 1927, and others who were suspended since July, 1927, does not appeal to the Supreme Lodge, because the assessment was levied against your Grand Lodge, and if you fail to collect the One Dollar from the members, then your Grand Lodge was responsible to the Supreme Lodge in the sum of One Dollar for each of the members on your roll July, 1927 just the same." On September 5th, 1929, I received the following letter from the Supreme Chancellor, Sir S. Green: At a meeting of your Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of North Carolina, etc., jurisdiction of North Carolina, held at Asheville, North Carolina, July 16-18, 1929, it was unanimously voted by the aforesaid Grand Lodge ordering and directing the Grand Lodge Officers to borrow the necessary amount of funds to pay the emergency taxes due the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia on January 1, 1928, and pay same over to the proper officer of the Supreme Lodge. Up to this writing that order of your Grand Lodge has not been complied with. You are hereby notified that the full amount of the emergency taxes with interest due at 6% until date of payment on or before October 5, 1920, must be paid into the office of Sir E. D. Green, Secretary of the Pythian Temple, Sanitarium Department, Room 616, National Pythian Temple, 57th Place and State Street, Chicago, Illinois Failure to comply with the above order, your Grand Lodge will be suspended from the Knights of Pythias of North America, etc., in accordance with article 16, section 4, page 30, of Constitution and Supreme Statutes of the Knights of Pythias of North America, etc., of 1921. Your esteemed favor of September 5th, 1929, was received, I have noted with interest all that you were kind enough to say, and beg leave to advise you that you are in error when you assert that the order of the Grand Lodge empowering the Grand Lodge Officers to borrow this necessary amount of funds to pay the emergency taxes due the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia on January 1, 1928, has not been compiled with.

Dear Sir and Brother: If you were to ask a group of people the name of the best known little boy in America probably no two would give you the same answer. But if you were to ask "who is the best little boy painter in America?" nine out of ten would answer, "the little Dutch Boy." The little Dutch Boy, like Topsy, really just happened, having first seen the light of day in four very rough pencil sketches submitted to the National Lead Company as advertising illustrations. The character was so appealing that one of the best portrait painters in New York at that time, Lawrence Carmichael Earle, was commissioned to take the sketches and to breathe into them the breath of life. The result was a canvas which, aside from its commercial significance, everybody admires as a work of art. The original painting of which this is a photographic reproduction, hangs in the National Lead Company's Board of Directors' Room in New York. The blue shirt, the blue overalls, the wooden shoes, the blonde hair, the ruddy cheeks, and the uplifted paint brush, have become the symbol of good painting from coast to coast. Who is interested in the art preservative and decorative does not know that the Dutch Boy Painter is synonymous with paint made of pure white lead? This popularity is due chiefly to his pleasing and attractive personality. His face is very expressive and winning. There is a union of mischief and earnestness of purpose, or at least, interest in what he is doing, and he is known in every community in America, regardless of its size or location. Two other paintings of boys both famous in the world of art, figured prominently in recent news. The Blue Boy of Gainsborough is one of the best known paintings by this master. Not long ago it was sold for $250,000 and the buyer felt he was getting it at a bargain price. The third of the painting paintings of boys is Romney's celebrated Blue Boy. This painting recently changed hands, having been bought by a rich American. (Herbert Photos, New York.)

We would all be better off if gilent in our manners. Oc- casionally a man must be rough, but as a very general rule gentleness is easier than a fight. "The real fool is he who does not know himself," said Oscar Wilde. ... I have always believed every- one knows himself, and lies when he says he does not. Those odd persons who believe they are superior to the plain people, and struggle unsuccessfully for years to prove it, have a very poor opinion of us. Their formula of abuse is always about the same. One of them lately wrote: "Another eager human soul on the threshold longing to find some suitable high work in the world, all unwriting of the fact that ideal strivings are everywhere despised and discouraged" . . . Clarence Whistler, a well-known author, wrote less paint pictures which sold readily, and afforded him a living, said there never was an artistic period; never an art-living nation.

Fly traps made by the manual training class of the Colored Training School were exhibited at the Fair. Professor Brown said that he could supply these traps to the community at the small cost of fifty cents each, which is just the cost of the material used in making the trap. Professor Brown plans to speak at the next Community Club meeting and to explain the importance of this State-wide Sanitation Educational Campaign, and what it means to our people. Millions of dollars could be saved for the State and her citizens each year if fifth-borne, fly-borne, diseases could be wiped out. Healthy, working citizens are no expense, but doctors' bills, funerals, crippled bodies that cannot make a living, come from wrong conditions that can be made right. Dr. Brydon says the colored people in the State are interested and anxious to learn just what they can do. With such a spirit of co-operation continuing, our people will help to do their part in making the homes of our children safe to live in, as well as help to protect the homes of our neighbors. Miss Vance, one of the Field Representatives of the State Department of Health, will be in York County this week in the interest of the Sanitation Educational Campaign.

REPUBLICAN ALDERMEN MAY BE LED BY NEGRO Two Harlem Delegates, Constituting Half of Minority, Are Expected to Reject Baldwin City Hall discussed yesterday the possibility that after January 1 the leader of the small Republican minority in the Board of Aldermen may be one of the two negro Republican members. One of these, Fred R. Moore, is publisher of the New York Age, The other, John C. Hawkins, is a lawyer. Each represents in the board a populous Harlem constituency. On December 31 each will have served a full year as Alderman. Their two white Republican colleagues in the board are John Clark Baldwin 3d, who was named to succeed Mrs. Ruth Baker Pratt from the "silk stocking" Republican Fifteenth District in Manhattan when Mrs. Pratt went to Congress, and Frank A. Manzella, elected last Tuesday from the Twentieth District in Manhattan, the home district of Fiorello H. La Guardia. In the past the minority leadership has been awarded on a seniority basis, it having been held for some years by Alderman Frank Dotzler, of the Sixth Manhattan District, Samuel S. Koenig's district. Dotzler failed of re-election. The leadership actually is voted by a caucus of the Republican Alderman and this year it is in doubt. It is assumed at City Hall that the negroes will not vote for Mr. Baldwin, the choice of the Republican leaders. Mr. Hawkins, especially, is said to have resented his exclusion from party councils. If neither Mr. Hawkins nor Mr. Moore votes for Mr. Baldwin his election is, course, impossible. Mr. Muzella's elevation, it is thought, is impossible because of his inexperience. The salary of an Alderman is $5,000 a year. The minority leader, on the other hand, receives $7,500 a year and a private office in City Hall. FINDS OUR PEOPLE CO-OPERA: TIVE Dr. Mary Evelyn Brydon, Director of the Bureau of Child Health, State Department of Health, spoke on October 21 at the Fair held at the Colored Training School in Yorktown. This was the first colored Fair held in York County and the exhibits were very creditable indeed. Many women in the community had praise worthy exhibits. Dr. Brydon explained to the assembled group just what the State Department of Health means by the State Educational Sanitation Campaign. She said that (1) unsafe sewage disposal; (2) unsafe drinking water; (3) homes not properly screened; (4) insufficient fly control, are known to spread typhoid, dysentery, diarrhoea, summer complaint, and other diseases. Infantile paralysis, the dread disease that kills and cripples little children, is most probably spread by flies as well as by the spray from the nose and mouth from carriers of this disease. Virginia had 278 cases of infantile greatest. FULTON NOTES SOUTH RICHMOND NOTES ROANOKE NOTES --- Bey W J Tuck Pastor J. M.

TO QUININE POMADE Heart to Heart Talk By Dr John Joseph Dunn A POET-PROPHET Tennyson, I mean. Take your copy of Tennyson's Poems, and turn to "Locksley Hall." Wander down the first words in lines, until you come to this: "For I dipt onto the future, far as human eye could see." Then read attentively the eighteen or twenty lines following; a prophecy is there that is being fulfilled to-day—and if it is wonderfully beautiful. He saw the age of flying. He visualized the era of commercial aviation, now being transformed into reality. He saw the world clash of arms; heard the heavens filled with shouting, sensed the rain of "ghastly dew" from the poison-gas bombs; the conflicts of "the nations' sky nudes grappling in the central blaze." He foretold the termination of the fearful thing, in "the Parliament of man, the federation of the world." After that,—"The common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe—And, the kindly earth shall shumble, lag in universal law." Amos—himself—but and quite. It is tumult—the time when "the common sense" of most shall perish, even unto the reign of "universal law." One of our own great statesmen believed with all his might in a league of nations; other great statesmen declared an association of nations to be the need; still others, equally noted, wanted nothing of the sort. Confusion, uproar, hard words came to our national family councils; the people arose, and swept the whole mess aside. If I discern the signs of the times might, world-effort is straining toward the point wherein the common sense of most shall hold the fretful few in awe. It will take universal law to bring peace and tranquility to the peoples of earth—and, the universal law is none other than God’s law. The laws of man can never transcend the laws of God. May heaven forbid that I should ever descend in the level of partisan politics! L.J.HAYDEN MANUFACTURER of PURE HERB MEDICINES OFFICE: 224 WEST BROAD ST.

TA Second Baptist Welcome To Alt.: ‘The HOME is the basic institution in the life of the world. It naturaily comes before the state or church. Rooming house and eating, ‘out, which is part of the trend of the times, is not upbuilding the home. Problems that arise from discord and divorce make the song “Home, Sweet Home” a parody, No. matter how modern may be. the world the necensty for the old fashioned home continues. “Therein was the trinity-father, mother and child or children. The home was God-esta)- lished, both in the very nature of our being and also in His enactments, As the truths apply vitally to our daily living and foture ambitions special attention should be given to the carefully selected passages of Scripture. They are Deuteronomy 6:39; Matthew 19:3-9; Luke 240- 52; 24:28-32; Ephesians 6:1-9; II Timothy 1:35; 3:14-15. ‘No people has honored the home more than the Hebrews. The first Bible selection calls attention to the instruction that God gave about writing the Scripture on the door posts of the home and teaching St to the children within it, ) Jesus, the boy, was a product of such a Hebrew home. The Bible rolls were his reading book and he had been faithfully instructed in their content, At the age of twelve this well trained lad was taken with Jocep and Mary from Nazareth to Jerusalem that he might join in the Feast of Passover. Read the story in Luke for all the interesting inc\onis, He had learned well daring the growing years at Nazareth and understood the fulfillment that the prophecies called for. He be- ame engrossed in listening to those in the Temple who were versed in such matters and soon began to ask most intelligent questions. He was so absorbed that he failed to note the departure of the caravan for Norreth,. But at the call “Come home”, Jesus went and the record of tse following years in the Nazareth home is perfection: “and he Sv cubject unto them. And Jests advanced in wisdom and stature, a. in favor with God and man.” ‘The Golden text is timely: “Honor ty father and mother.” Eph. 6:8.

There are fish weighing from 50 to 100 pounds that will carry a line through wild dashes, circles and leaps, covering a circuitous 500 miles before the kill. Some of them are less known than the almost extinct chief of the Congo jungles, only those who have seen the real colors of these glistening monsters. The first taker of the fish before nervous reaction of death has changed their color and appreciates what it means to find one. The greatest jump fish of the reef-tropical ocean are the free swimming fish that seek their prey on or near the surface. They must be fast enough to catch their prey even when the latter are not in schools. They are attracted by the moving bait at a long distance and are much more agile and powerful than reef or bottom fishes. Some of these free swimmers may come thousands of miles to the spot at which they are caught. A baby squidfish has never been caught in Florida. Science has not yet ascertained its breeding place. The squidfish cruises in the Gulf stream and is caught all along the southeast coast of Florida.

There are many species of leaping, fighting fish in the Gulf stream and along the Florida reefs and keys. The American Museum of Natural History has hung its walls mounted specimens of some of the sportest water fish found along the coast of Florida. It has paid tribute to a big game resource that seems to be as plentiful one year as the next. There are two hundred fishing boats under experienced guides at Miami. They will bait your hook and take you to the best fishing grounds and do everything but pull the fish in. People who want to save expense of a special launch each chip in toward the cost of a trip. In two weeks you can drive down Miami keyway to Card Sound, the greatest field for bone fish. On Ragged Reef within 35 miles of Miami, I have seen two sailfish at the at one time. The sailfish, swiftfish swimming game fish, has speed of from 60 to 70 miles an hour, can canoe over 40 feet of water, "walk the water" for 50 feet or more and reaches more than eight feet in length. Tarpon is the cleverest big game fish in throwing the hook and runs in size to 215 pounds. Amberjack is a powerful, heavy stufferfish for carrying fish weighing 100 pounds, often a hard dinger and the most inquisitive of all big game fish. If you can catch one of a school the others will come up to see what is the matter. King fish is of the mackerel group almost as speedy as the sallfish, as magnificent fighter and learner, with a grip like a bulldog when the hook is set in his mouth. They weigh up to 100 pounds, but 40 pounds is a big specimen. artistic clothes from the merchants tailor, but the best in materials. tailor, but the best in materials.

GREATEST B --- Wahoo, called "pete" in Bahama waters, is a tremendously swift fish, perhaps equalling the sailfish in speed. It is dart machercel-like in appearance, and weighs up to 100 pounds, but 40 pounds is a big specimen. Bone fish is a silver-bued ebonyyed fish of the herring tribe and the sportiest fish of his size. It is shy and a hard fish to hook, as his mouth and palate are covered with teeth.

Some of this group run up to 500 pounds. For the most part they are a stodgy solid fish but some of the smaller ones, like the Nassau grouper, will sometimes take to the air and put a thrilling, spoon fight. There are blue fish, creole Spanish mackerel, bison, permit, snappers and scores of others. No one knows what he may catch. Fishmen last spring landed a whale shark weighing five tons after a 25-hour flight. Probably the "smartest" fish of all, if you can call a fish "smart," is the gray snapper. D.J.

I know a good sportsman in Florida who saw a little group of big amber jacks and currucata hanging like the wings of a school boatker. He cast his own amber jacket. The water was very clear at about a depth of 10 feet, and he could see the jack plainly from the wharf. An amber jacket took hold, line and sinker as the saying is, and zip—made the 60 to 80 feet to the wharf quick as a flash. The line went slack.

Even the swiftest fish are attacked by barracuda, sharks, porpoises and drag fish when they are on the line. Fish will attack wounded live bait on the line when they will not bother to pursue small fish of the same species. Even making allowance for the individual equation in fighting qualities of fish of the same species, the sportsman is always sure of a royal with any of the semi-tropical, salt-water fish.

SOMERS ROCHE ILLUSTRATED BY DONALD RILEY Fifth Instalment What Heard Before At a party in Palm Beach given by Mr. Cooper Clary, Leson, an attorney, meets Lucy Harkness, a devil-灭灵-May-care because of her adventures, everlast life. In a game in which partners steal the prize, Lucy has a great reputation as a successful heart-breaker. Leson is a bit jealous. Tim Leson tells Lucy they are going above his boss, and he asks for a reward. He quitter. Asked if Lucy says she is not and evidently Pete has arranged it. Tim therespun tells her to stop looking at her. She mines the Minerva, Stevens tells Lucy of his love. When she responds with contempt for him, he grows violently angry and she becomes afraid of her. Minerva until she accepts him. To escape she leaps into the water from her cabin window, swimming a short distance under Lucy reaches land and meets Dr. Ferguson Fuence on an island. He takes care of her and takes her home. Everyone is worried she is frantic, regrettable and still ardent in protestations of love. Leson informs Lucy that Stevens must buy five million dollars or go to jail—five o'clock. Lucy goes to her bank and raises the sum. STORY Half an hour later her chair paused before the gate of Stevens's place, out beyond Vita Serena, in southern Palm Beach. He was in his garden, at a table on which lay something that looked like a check-book. He was writing in it, but looked up as Lucy approached, and waved away the colored servant who had admitted her. He rose and stared at her. He had staved, frowned fresh fannies, a flannel shirt, and a gay shirt, which would wear clothes, she inconsequently thought, better than any woman she had ever seen. "This is a surprise," he said. She made no reply, but opened the scribble and dumped the money upon the table. "What's it all about?" he asked. "To save you from jail," she replied. His eyes puckered, and a tiny crease opened them beneath the "sail?" he echoed. "Mr. Leeson has seen me. He told me that the man who wanted to marry me was a thief. Perhaps, Tim, one reason you professed such great devotion was because of what money I possess." She was looking right at him, but his eyes never flickered. His hand toward the clock hands. to take a piece of paper from it and tell it into tiny bits. "Perhaps," he agreed calmly. "But I was much as I'm not to marry you. I hardly take your money." There was a hard finality in his voice. "You even to keep out of jail?" she Chucked. "You're a shade better than I thought." She bowed. "Many thanks," She bit her lip. "Let Mr. Lesson said you'd be arrested this afternoon." He bowed again. "Great little man—Lesson." "I can't let you go to jail," she cried heallessly. "And I couldn't take your money," he said. "Then," she said slowly, "as I can't let you go to jail—" "Why not?" he demanded, "Is it because, after all, you love me?" "I hate you," she blazed, "That's why. . . you must go to jail. You must take my money." "You're a bit incomprehensible, Lucy," he told her. "You hate me; yet you'd save me. Well, I'd take money only from the woman I was married to, and I'd hate to take it from her." "But you would?" she asked. He shrugged. "To avoid jail, yes." "To avoid jail, ye." "Then," she said, "I'll have to marry you. To-day, Now!" Had Diana, sojourning at Jupiter's palace on Olympus, slipped down the mountainside and in some ways parsonage in Thessaly taken unto herself a husband, the scandal would have been comparable to the marriage of Devil-May-Care. Apparently hurried weddings, among people nationally known, are bound to cause gossip. But neither he nor Lucy would have cared a whit for that. Had their marriage been one of equal love and trust, they would have been uninterested in the nasty speculations of nasty people. But Lucy had left him. She had strolled out of his patio as unconcernedly as though she had been having tea and was now on her way home to dress for dinner. Home! She had gone home! Devil-May-Care she was called Well, the insincerity that defied death itself could not defy Tim Stevens. He knew his rights and he would have them. He'd force* it but he slumped back in the wicker chair that protested against his twisted bulk. He'd tried to force Lucy last night and she had chosen almost certain death in preferential order. He might as well face the facts; he might now than he was before the minister had read the marriage ceremony to them. To marry a man who positively avenged for her, and then coolly deny itself . . . That, he thought, was the "Would you mind, terribly, being in a scandal?" explanation. She had no intention of coming back to him, ever. But to have loaned, given him an incredible sum of money, to have married him in order to assure his acceptance of the money, to have married him, to have loaned, the marriage, she would relent, would come to him . . . What exquisite torture was this? CHAPTER III South, along on the Ocean Boulevard, Lucy bowled on in the little Ford. Somehow, the ocean that had seemed so grim and dour a few hours ago, now seemed like smiling dusk, gentle and inviting. The path through the trees to the "Would you mind, terribly, being in a center of the island, where Faunce's cabin was located, was easily followed. In five minutes she was upon the edge of the clearing, and, her torch turned off, was standing gazing at the porch of the cabin. Before the cabin blazed a fire. It had extended beyond the confines of the fireplace, and was, quite evidently, not for purposes of cooking, but for purposes of cheerful communion and perhaps a roared and cracked, and threw a fierce light upon the face of Ferrous Faunce, who sat upon his call. "It's Larry Hackman," she said. "I wonder," he said, still seated in his chair, if our thoughts evoke our friends, or if the approach of our friends evoke our thoughts. Or has the tropic moon, which has just peered over the palms, brought delightful madness to me?" She stared at the tropic moon which now had gloriously risen. She saw sinistered, the lacy outlines of the palms and the pines. She could hear the eternal rustle of the trees, as the pines kissed the palms, and the palms returned the caress. Little intimate poses came from the jungle, as though the night whispered secrets hidden from the day. Afar, the wild surf wooed the sand . . . And the glory, the unutterable glory of the Florida stars . . . "Where shall I begin?" she asked suddenly. "Where it suits you; or nowhere," he replied. "I'm in trouble," she said. "Of course," he said. "Why 'of course?' she demanded. "All people are in trouble, always. They may not know it, but the fact remains." "Well, I know it, and— Suppose I just wanted to stay here—ch, for as long as I chose, Fergus Faunce." "Then here you should remain," he stated flatly. "And that reputation of yours which I have just mentioned?" "Would be as unimportant as I have just indicated to you!" he laughed. "But your own reputation; that would be a thing not lightly to be smirched by any act, even though merely soquecent, of mine." In other words, you'd learn me lest scandal—" He shook his head. "No, I don't think so. You didn't come here lightly, my child. You did some thinking. I simply said I would not lightly amitch you. Let's hear your reasons." "Suppose I choose to give none?" "I shouldn't ask for them again. Sufficient unto the day is the Lucy thereof." "Then I am evil!" She caught at his paraphrase. "That was unfortunately put. Let me say that the Lord said, 'Let there be Lucy, and there was Lucy.'" "That is better, much better," she said judicially. She lightened another cigarette, removed her hand from his abiding-place upon his knee. She puffed at it slowly. "Were you ever a damn fool, Fergus Faunce?" she asked. "Yes," he replied. "I'm glad of that," she said. "Were you ever in a scandal, Fergus Faunce?" "No," he replied. "Would you mind, terribly, being in one?" "Not particularly," he answered. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page "Would it affect your practice?" she persisted. "Not in the slightest. Patients count to me for my skill with a knife, not for my morals." "I was married to-day," she said lazily. She could feel his sudden rigidity. But his voice, when he spoke, was even and calm: "Then, when I called you Lucy Harkness I called you out of your name." "My name is Lucy Stevens," she said. "Do I know the happy bridegroom?" he inquired. "It was from his boat, last night, 4 crandal? that I dived into the tide that swept me on your beach," she said. "And, the usual obvious reason being obviously not accountable, in your case, for to-lay's marriage, what did impel you to the act?" "I hated him so," she murmured. "Think of him, Fergus Faunce, a bridegroom minus a bride, wondering where on earth I am—" "But you didn't do it just to play a trick upon him, Lucy," said the doctor. Fergus Faunce. I don't know why I did it!" she tried. "Can you tell me? "I'd rather not, just yet," he answered. "Now, what do you mean by that?" she asked. He waved the question aside. He waved the question aside. "And what do you do next?" he asked. "Next? It's a very sleepy Lucy that sits at your feet, Dr. Fergus Faunce. Probably I shall go to bed, wonder, you who are willing to give and reputation to me, what you will do if I do and your cabin." "It is yours already," he summed. "Frequently I sleep in a blanket by my fire; I love the stars, the moon, the waving branches—" "Don't be poetical," she ordered. "Get the scolding over with, Fergus Faunce." She had turned and was looking up at him, and the rays of the moon illumined her features. Faunce thought that he had never seen anything so elfinly beautiful as the face of this girl. Yet his smile was not even faintly tremulous. "There will be no scolding, my child," he told her gently. "Of the Lucy's man asks nothing save that they be. Do we scold the sun because it sulks and hides behind a cloud? Aren't we, rather, grateful for the hours when it shines upon us? The Lucy comes but once in a generation, my child, and we meet them, who are privileged to know them, cannot censure, ever." "Fergus Faunce, why didn't I, the moment I saw you, love you?" wailed Lucy. "I am not good enough for that, my dear," he told her. "Too good!" she cried. "A man like you—you do really love me? You really loved me the moment you saw me!" "I adored you," he said simply. "I knew it—knew it this morning," she said. "And if I were anything but a silly little fool, I'd have loved you. You're everything that I want to love. I ought to love that I need to love. Why don't I?" He made no answer. "I wonder if perhaps I will!" he cried. He shook his head. "My dear, Love doesn't do what we want him to. But that you should want to love me—that lifts me above the rest of the world. Lucy Hark—Lucy Stevens, it's time you went to bed." Wrapped in the blankets, she could hear him moving outside. Somewhere in Palm Beach Tim Stevens was crazy with anger, with worry. She smiled as she thought of Tim.

Chester, Jr., President of the General Foods Corporation. Stocks representing ownership of the great food companies, said Mr. Chester, belong to the "depression-proof" class. Because, of its essential character, this industry has been little affected by business depressions, says Mr. Chester. "The unreasoning activities on the Stock Market recently have depressed securities of food companies to a point out of proportion to earnings and prospects. This industry, clearly, is the most "depression-proof" of all. After all, people must eat in good times and bad. "The Stock Market debacle will have little effect on the business of the General Foods Corporation for the balance of the year, and the outlook for 1930 is exceptionally bright. We look forward to the greatest year in the history of the company both in sales and earnings. During the nine months' period ending September 30, 1929, sales to customers totaled $95,575,490, as compared with $101,037,091, for the year of 1928. The combined profits for the first nine months of the year exceeded expenditure for income tax, including profits prior to acquisition of new subsidiaries, totaled $16,058,277, or $3 a share. This record of earnings is an increase over the first nine months of last year when the combined profits of the identical companies totaled $14,750,004, or $2.76 per share.

Then we wouldn't have to be bothered with machinery—I hate machinery." "We'll go and see him after school and talk with him. Perhaps he would have a good time, too, going with us to the toy factory."

"Charters of Grand Lodges may be revoked by the Supreme Lodge, and pended by the Supreme Chancellor for non-conformity to the Work, Can adopted by the Supreme Lodge, for disobedience to its legal mandates, and duct." The fact remains that according to the Article and Section of the Supreme S the Supreme Lodge which meets in Boston may take from us our charter, and the quires that we be heard on the issues involved. The fact remains that according to the Article and Section of the Supreme Statute just quoted, only the Supreme Lodge which meets in Boston may take from us our charter, and then and there the law requires that we be heard on the issues involved. The Grand Lodge of N. C. may be reinstated upon the payment of the taxes. There are at present something like 2,000 men who were members July 1, 1927, and who have not paid these taxes. This would mean a pro rata taxation of about $2.50 per man to take care of the indebtedness to the Supreme Lodge. INFORMATION MAY BE SECURED AS TO THE CHARACTER OF THE INVESTMENT There has just come from the pen of Sir Robert Barcus, Grand Chancellor of Ohio a very able document, setting forth the financial condition of the properties in which the Supreme Chancellor and the Supreme Lodge would force you to invest your money. This proclamation was published in the Pittsburgh Courier of October 26, 1929, the Houston Informer of October 26th, and the Richmond Planet of November 2, 1929. I would suggest that the District Deputies, Officers and Grand Representatives of the subordinate lodges secure each a copy of one of these papers or write Sir Robert Barcus, 867 Pythian Temple, Mt. Vernon Ave., Columbus, Ohio, for a copy of his proclamation No. 3, issued October 19, 1929, and study same carefully. I would further suggest that the matter be thoroughly discussed in the subordinate lodges, and that the delegates come to our next Grand Lodge in Greensboro knowing the wishes of your constituency to the end that they may enact such legislation relative to this suspension as will be satisfactory to all concerned. In the meantime, the Grand Lodge of N. C. as present constituted, holds its charter from the Supreme Lodge, as I have aforesaid, and may be only revoked by the Supreme Lodge in session assembled, and that our business affairs and Endowment Department cannot be interfered with. A letter from the Insurance Department reads as follows: Relative to the transfer of the policies of members belonging to the Endowment Department of the Grand Lodge of N. C., to the Endowment Department of the Supreme Lodge, the Commissioner has the following to say: We have your inquiry of recent date regarding the possibility of certain members of the Knights of Pythias of North Carolina transferring to a new organization which will not be in suspended condition as the North Carolina Lodge is at the present time. As far as the State of North Carolina is concerned there is only one Knights of Pythias (colored) recognized by this Department. If a new organization with a similar name is to be started it will be necessary that it receive the approval of the Insurance Department and use a name which will be non-conflicting with the present organization. Any member of the present Knights of Pythias who wishes to join the new organization and leave the old organization would simply be leaving one Knights of Pythias and joining another. Any new organization forming will have to comply with the rules of this Department regarding adequate rates the same as any existing fraternal. 2nd.
