RIOTING IN CLEVELAND Guards and Strikers Exchange Volleys and Several are Shot. FIFTEEN CARS DYNAMITED Little Girl Killed By Car Operated By Non-Union Man Caused Violent Outbreak Between Strikers and Police. Cleveland, Ohio.—Fifteen cars were dynamited, five men shot, a girl beheaded and twenty other persons injured by the explosion of nitroglycerin in the car strike riots Tuesday night. Five cars were blown up in different parts of the city soon after midnight. At least five persons were injured. One car, hurled from the track by an explosion of dynamite, was thrown through the air fifty feet and shattered the brick wall of an apartment house. The occupants of the building rushed out in panic, several of them being injured by falling bricks. A non-union conductor, in charge of the car which decapitated Yetta Walknskl, a young girl, in the heart of the tenement district of the city, was saved from hanging by a crowd to a lamp post only by the battle of a big squad of police with a mob of infiltrated strike sympathizers and neighbors of the child's parents at almost the same time as the Lakewood battle. The conductor sought shelter in a drug store, which was wrecked by bricks and stones hurled by the strikers, who were driven on by cries of "Kill him!" "Kill him!" A battle in Lakewood with the hurrying of six automobile loads of city police to the scene and their pursuit of Lakewood citizens, ending in the arrest of five school boys, who were released in half an hour, preceplitated a clash of authority and brought from Mr. Dupont, president of the Municipal company, a significant retort. Mayor Bernard Miller of Lakewood demanded the withdrawal of all city police. Dupont, allied with Mayor Tom L. Johnson, who is treasurer of the Municipal, retorted: "The men are not city police. They are my private guards." A BOOMERANG FOR LILLEY. Electric Boat Company Is Cleared of All Charges Filed. Washington, D.

PRIMARY IN ALABAMA Bryan Favored Over Johnson More Than Two to One. SOME SURPRISES ARE SHOWN Owing to Great Length of Ballot Count Was Slow and Tedious--Delegation Will Be Instructed for Bryan. Birmingham, Ala. — Additional returns from the state democratic primary serve only to increase the majority which it was apparent Monday afternoon that William Jennings Bryan had received over Governor Johnson his opponent for the nomination for the presidency at the Denver convention. In nearly every county, two tickets were voted—one for county officers and the other for delegates to Denver, and the state offices to be filled. These tickets of necessity were counted separately, and this caused great delay in tabulation of the returns. North Alabama went overwhelmingly for Bryan, while Johnson's greatest strength was developed in counties in the southern portion of the state. Mobile, Montgomery, Conecuh and Clarke counties, from the returns at hand, have gone for the Minnesota man. Mr. Bryan's majority in the state, it is conceded, by his friends, will reach 75,000. It is conceded that James J. Mayfield of Tuscaloosa and R. T. Simpson of Florence have been elected for assistant justices of the supreme court, with Billbro, Alsten and Lusk following in the order named. John H. Wallace of Huntsville has been nominated for state game and fish warden over Peter R. Mastin of Montgomery by a large majority. Charles Henderson of Troy for president of the Alabama railroad commission was without opposition. For delegate at large to the Denver convention, John W. Tomlinson of Birmingham led the ticket. hTe other mingham led the ticket. The other successful candidates are: J. Thomas Heilin, Henry D. Clayton and Edward W. Booker. Dr. R. M. Cunningham of Ensley made a game race, but went down in the Bryan wave. In the three-cornered fight for electors at large, Emmett O'Neal of Florence and John C. Pugh of Birmingham appear to be winners over J. Asa Rountree of Birmingham. RIGHT TO CENSOR PRESS Given in Amendment Attended as Move Against Anarchy Washington, D.

Florida Congressman is Beaten With Stick by Ex-Governor. Jacksonville, Fla. — Congressman Frank Clark of the second Florida district was belabored with a stick by ex-Governor W. S. Jennings in the lobby of the Hotel Aragon Sunday afternoon. Clark is being opposed for re-election and he has been bitterly assailing those who are opposing him. Clark spoke at the opera house Saturday night, and among those whom he attacked for opposing him was ex-Governor Jennings. Clark reviewed the public career of Jennings, and, among other talings, charged that the ex-governor had a genius for grafting. The ex-governor called at the Hotel Aragon Sunday afternoon and found Clark in the lobby. One version of the affair is that the ex-governor wanted to know if he had been called a grafter by Clark. "Did you call me a grafter?" asked the ex-governor of Clark. "I did," replied the congressman. "Then you are a liar and you knew you were a liar when you said it." cried Jennings. Then the ex-governor snatched a heavy cane, which Clark was carrying, and began to belabor the congressman lustily about the head and shoulders. Congressman Clark was standing talking to Dr. G. A. Nunnally, president of Columbia College at Lake City, when Governor Jennings approached him. According to Clark's version Jennings approached from behind and, jerking the stick from the congressman, struck the latter three times over the head. Jennings, struck with such force that the walking cane, a stick three-eighths of an inch in thickness, was broken, but, owing to a thick head of hald and a felt hat, Mr. Clark was not seriously injured. As soon as he realized that he was being attacked, Mr. Clark wheeled and caught the stick, wrenching it from Jennings' hands. Bystanders promptly caught hold of the gentlemen and prevented any more blows being struck. The language used by Mr. Clark, to which Governor Jennings most seriously objected, was the statement that Governor Jennings entered the office of governor of Florida, reputed to be a poor man, and that he left that office reputed to be a man of wealth. "Where did he get it?" asked Mr. Clark, and this question he repeated in a signed statement given to the local press for publication. Ex-Governor Jennings is a cousin of William Jennings Bryan, and it is said the relationship had much to do with making him governor of Florida. BLOOD FLOWED AT CARD GAME.

CASHIER BEHIND THE BARS Peculations Officially Placed at Total of $594,000---A National Bank Examiner Appointed Receiver. Pittsburg, Pa.—The Allegheny National Bank suspended Monday. Shortly after 9 o'clock the following notice was posted on the door: "Closed by order of the comptroller and placed in charge of William L. Folds, national bank examiner." At that time only a few depositors were about the institution. Following meetings lasting all day Sunday, at which a thorough discussion of Cashier William Montgomery's peculiations, was held, the bank suspended Monday. That the bank would not open Monday was generally stated in the morning papers. For days it has been apparent that the cashier's alleged misdeeds had seriously crippled the institution and the actual suspension this morning caused little or no excitement. Montgomery's peculiations are officially placed at $594,000. It is said the bank's shortage is close to $2,000,-000. Montgomery is held in $125,000 bail. Robert Lyons, a national bank examiner, has been appointed receiver of the bank Chief interest in the bank's closing now centers in the ultimate fate of the depositors of the city and state.

C.-The general deficiency appropriation bill, the last of the regular government supply bills, was reported to the house Saturday by the committee on appropriations. The bill carries $17,342,572. Of this amount $10,000,000 is for pensions, made necessary by the widows' pension act of February 6, 1907. For the naval establishment there is an allowance of $3,156,209, partly necessitated by the recent increase in the pay of the enlisted men and officers of the navy and partly by the increased amount of coal that will be consumed by the battleship fleet in going from San Francisco around the world to New York. The total cost of coal and its transportation for this purpose aggregates $5,000,000. Of the total amount $1,310,901 is for the military establishment and covers among other expenses, the increased pay of the enlisted men and officers on the active and retired lists of the army for the remainder of the fiscal year.

A farm hand who was employed on the place is missing and is being hunted by hundreds of farmers. The entire family were shot down in cold bloods.

SOLUTION NOT MADE PUBLIC President Duckworth Delivers an Interesting Address Explaining Greatest Proposition Yet Undertaken. After adopting a plan to warehouse and finance the coming cotton crop, gathering statistics from seventy-five counties, which indicates the acreage in Georgia is off by 10 per cent and the crop condition off from 35 per cent to 60 per cent, the Farmers' union, after a session of two days in the senate chamber of the state capitol, adjourned. The plan of financing the crop is kept an executive secret for the present, at least, but, it is stated, it has been settled and the union will go ahead on this basis. The system of warehousing, as undertaken in a number of counties throughout the state during the past few years, and which has proved successful, will be expanded and increased. The union believes this method to be the solution of the situation, and will act accordingly. President R. F. Duckworth set forth the full purpose and aim of the meeting in a speech delivered to those gathered. He said in part: "You have been called here today for the purpose of completing plans for carrying out the greatest proposition that has ever been undertaken by the Georgia farmers. "We would call your attention to the fact that the plans you are about to prosecute have required the very best brain in all ages. Thousands of men have lost their hundreds of thousands of dollars in attempting a corner on cotton, and while your efforts are not an attempt to corner the cotton crop, it is a plan for financing it, which will require a similar amount of money, and the plans you develop today will have a great deal to do with the successful pricing of cotton by the southern farmer. "We have always realized the great importance to the cotton producer of a plan for the financing of his cotton. Heretofore our financial propositions have been confined principally to counties. This plan has proven very successful, but not so completely controlling the cotton situation as would a plan by which the cotton of each state would be financed from a central office operating through the several counties interested. When this plan is put in operation, and that, too, not in violation of the anti-trust law, the southern farmer will become as independent and prosperous as any of his fellow citizens engaged in other lines of business." The beauty of some women is only cosmetic deep. Treasurer of the State of Georgia. MONEY FOR GEORGIA. SUICIDED AFTER FIRE. P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. CUT DOWN THE CROP. Is Concerted and Widespread Move on Part of Farmers' Union. Atlanta, Ga.—A widespread movement throughout the entire cotton belt to plow up ten to fifeen per cent of the present cotton crop has been inaugurated by the National Farme's union. This movement, begun and carried out quietly, set May 15 as the date for concerted action in this scheme of plowing up a part of the crop. Information was disseminated everywhere through the state and county unions, and in this way the information reached practically every member of the union. Letters began pouring into union headquarters at Union City ten days ago, indicating a widespread determination to carry out the plan. Many of the biggest planters in the state, men who plant 500 to 1,000 acres of cotton, frankly state that they will plow up half of their present crop. It is known that many have already done so, and as weather conditions become favorable for farm work, others are plowing up cotton to replace it with other crops. The union leaders believe that the next cotton crop will not be more than 7,000,000 to 8,000,000 bales. There have been many movements along this line, but never one of such force and one apparently in which such concert of action has been secured among farmers. TOWN SITE DISPUTED. Maysville Claimed by Two Counties and Matter is in Court. Homer, Ga.-The two county factions in the town of Maysville met before Judge Brand in Athens and presented their respective claims, through their Attorneys, A. J. Cobb, J. A. B. Mahaffey and Ayers, for the plaintiffs, and J. J. Strickland, Oscar Brown and A. J. Griffin, for the defendants.

Mrs. Inman has filed an answer denying that she is a member of the firm or that she is bankrupt. FIX ENCAMPMENT DATES Troops to Go to Chickamauga From July 13 to 22 as at First Designated. It has been finally settled that those of the Georgia troops which are to go into camp at Chickamauga this year will go from July 13 to 22, the dates originally fixed. At first there was some talk of holding the encampment in September, then it was decided to fix the dates from July 13 to 22, and the troops made their preparations accordingly, when there came another notice from the war department that the date had again been changed to July 1 to 10. This was not satisfactory, and Adjutant-General A. J. Scott so notified the department MUST PAY COURT $500,000. Judge Speer's Requirement in Noted Tift Lumber Rate Case. A decision in the H. H.

One of the most amazing slumps shown to date in annual tax returns is that of the Atlanta and West Point which shows a falling off in its franchise valuation of $1,533,606. In 1907 the franchise of the road was fixed through arbitration at $1,608,439. It is returned this year at $172,833. In 1906 the officials voluntarily returned the franchise of the Atlanta and West Point and the Belt Line at about $793,000. A woman is never surprised when she is handed a compliment.

When, with "tremendous enthusiasm," "tumultuous applause," and "resounding cheers," some American citizen is nominated for the Presidency of the United States at Chicago, and when, later, some other American citizen, with ditto enthusiasm, ditto applause and ditto cheers, is nominated for the same office at Denver. COLISEUM AT CHICAGO WHEEL CONVENTION V the male population of the United States, or the major majority of it, at any rate, will want to know just how it was done, why it was done, and "who done it." At a National Convention each State has its own headquarters, where the delegates gather. They do a lot of "conferring" with each other and William H. Taft. with delegates from other States. They hold meetings and elect chairmen and honorary vice-presidents. The honorary vice-president has a seat on the platform and an extra ticket, but little else. Prior to the calling of the convention to order the National Committee IN THE PRESIDENTIAL PANTRY. The Favorite Sons (in chorus)— "Somebody's taken a bite out of my plee!" —From the Journal (Minneapolis.) is virtually in command of the situation. With it lies the arranging of the details, the "framing up" of the procedure of the first session, the selection of the temporary chairman, and, in a great many cases, though not always, the program making of the whole convention, temporary and permanent organizations, nominating, and platform building. It is the chairman of the National Committee who calls the convention to order, usually about noon upon the day set. This year the Republican National Convention will be called to order by Harry C. New on June 16, and the Democratic Convention will be called to order by Thomas Taggart on July 7. The convention called to order, the chairman requests the secretary to read the call for the convention, which is done. Then the roll call is gone through, and this takes a lot of time. The next step is the announcement by the chairman that the committee offers to the convention as its temporary chairman the name of So-and-so. There are loud and prolonged cheers, and by a viva voce vote Mr. So-and-so is unanimously elected. The Roosevelt third-term bug which attacked Washington as well as other parts of the United States a week or two ago has disappeared. Governor Albert E. Mead, of the State of Washington, stated his belief that President Roosevelt would not accept a renomination. The threat of capital to go into politics and make its influence felt, just as labor threatens to do, has caused perturbation in both parties. AUDITORIUM AT DENVER WHERE THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION WILL BE HELD. There is usually little trouble over the election of a temporary chairman. The chairman then appoints a committee to escort the temporary chairman to the platform; the band plays, the delegation from Mr. So-and-so's State makes a lot of noise, and all is merry. It is incumbent on the temporary RE THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL WILL BE HELD. chairman to make a speech. He invariably takes advantage of the opportunity. He "sounds a keynote." After the speech various resolutions are offered. Usually these have been arranged for in advance, and the temporary chairman works according to a printed schedule, calling on John Doe and Richard Roe at the right time, so that there may William J. Bryan. be no hitch. Committees are appointed; one on resolutions, which will have the drafting of the platform; one on credentials or contested seats; one on permanent organization. These are the important ones. When they are all chosen, and there has been a lot of hand-clapping and cheering, as well-known men are appointed to this or that committee, the temporary chairman announces an adjournment, usually until the next day. A Leap Year Dilemma. —From the Washington Star. During the recess a lot of real work is done.

The Committee on Contested Seats and that on Permanent Organization, however, are ready and they report. The contests decided, no matter how, the permanent roll of the convention is made up and called.

Now back to the little room go the four or more bosses who do the heavy work; back to the hotel lobbies, the theatres, the cafes, the sight-seeing tours go the other delegates. Compromises are effected, promises are made. Eventually, in the back room and not in the convention hall, what is to be done is finally determined as a rule. Again the convention meets. If the platform has not been adopted it is now. Then nominations are in order. BE THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL WILL BE HELD.

Everybody shakes hands with everybody else. It is a grand occasion. The convention adjourns sine die. Alton B. Parker will not be the first defeated Presidential candidate to go to a National convention as a delegate. Mr. Bryan was a delegate to the St. Louis convention four years ago. Some Senators are angry over the assertion by the President that he is independent of Congress in the exercise of command over the army and navy. Governor Hughes announced that he would not accept election as Vice President of the United States, much less a nomination for that office. James Van Cleave, of St. Louis, president of the National Manufacturers' Association, threatened a bolt of 11,000 Republican manufacturers from the party ticket in the coming campaign if it sanctions the President's policy toward labor. At Ogdensburg, N. Y., William Randolph Hearst, of New York, has been sued in the Supreme Court by David T. Lethan to recover-$250 expended by the plaintiff for campaign purposes. The Evolution of Paint. By G. B. HECKEL. The earliest use of paint was probably heraldic or symbolical, and the colors were applied first to the human body. Remnants of the practice are still seen among savages who, on ceremonious occasions, of war, the chase, etc., decorate their faces with conventional signs and colors. The second use of paint in evolution was decorative. The Egyptians, thousands of years ago, used the simple colors, both for broad effects and for decorative design. The Greeks are believed to have colored all their marbles, whether statuary or carving, and the Romans, who were imitative in their arts, carried the use of colors in architecture to the extreme, as seen in the wall paintings of Pompeii. The pigments used in these earlier days were generally of the simplest type—usually natural colors found in the earth and requiring only mechanical treatment to fit them for use. Of these are the iron oxides, such as red haematite, ochres, slennas, umbers, etc., the natural salts of lead; cadmium and arsenic yellows, and cinnabar, which are now produced artificially, these natural pigments are still in use at the present day, the chief improvement being in the processes of preparation. A few of our artificial colors were apparently known to the Romans, at least, since Vetruvius and Pliny describe processes for the production of several, including white lead and lamp black. According to what can be gathered from these writers and from examination of paints found in Pompeii and Rome, the liquid medium appears to have been some sort of vegetable gum in solution. It was not until comparatively recent times that paint began to receive attention as a protective or preservative material. All of the earlier allusions to the subject were along decorative lines, and down to nearly the beginning of the last century all information on the subject was directed to the requirements of artists or architects. The dwellings of the more fortunately circumstanced classes were built of stone, brick and hard woods, on which paint, except for decoration, was but sparingly used; while the shelters of the poorer classes were generally of the filmsiest character on which paint would have been an unthinkable luxury. As the means of the common people improved and the use of wood for permanent buildings became more common, paint naturally suggested itself as a preservative material, and white lead, being the most generally obtainable of the lighter colored pigments, its employment received an impetus which it has scarcely yet lost. Of all the artificial pigments, excepting lamp black, this is probably the oldest. The natural carbonate of leadb was well known among the Greeks and Romans, and it is probable, from some remarks of the writers of the first century, that the preparation of the hydrocarbonate by the use of vinegar was also understood. White lead was at least manufactured for their own use by the Italian artists of the Middle Ages. It is probable that the Dutch acquired the art of making white lead from Venice, but in Holland the industry received such an impetus that the process still in use with some modifications, is known to this day as the "Old Dutch Process." The Dutch corroded lead by exposing it to the fumes of vinegar in porcelain pots buried under fermenting manure in a trench excavated in the earth. The industry was brought from Holland to England, where eventually certain improvements brought it finally to its present form, wherein the process is conducted in wooden "stacks" or bins by means of fermenting spent tan bark. For many years white lead remained the only available white base for house paints, and so long as the pigments used with it to produce tints were the stable earth colors and such unalterable artificial products as lamp black, it answered the general requirements quite satisfactorily. Two defects were, however, noted very early—the first, its tendency to darken from exposure from sulphurtreated hydrogen gas, and second, its disastrous effect upon the health of those working with it. The last mentioned property led to increasing agitation against its use, as the practice of house painting spread, and the history of the paint industry from late in the eighteenth century to the middle of the nineteenth is full of attempts to replace it with something else. This agitation led on the one hand to the substitution of white lead ground in oil by the manufacturer for the old form of dry lead ground by the painter himself, and on the other hand resulted in the addition of zinc oxide, sublimed lead, lithopone, blanc fixe, etc., to the list of available white pigments. It was also recognized quite early that there are certain colors which cannot be mixed with white lead without destruction. Artificial ultramarine, for example, which, after its production by Gulmet and others about 1828, came into general use, has its beautiful color quickly destroyed by contact with lead pigments. Similarly the Prussian blue, accidentally discovered by Diesbach in 1704, is quickly discolored by white lead, as are the "chrome greens" produced by precipitating together Prussian blue and chrome yellow. This is also the case with all pigments containing sulphur, such as the genuine vermilions, cadmium yellow and some other brilliant colors. Old painters can still remember the days when not only white lead but all their colors came to them in the dry form, to be laboriously worked up by them with slab and muller into the paste form. But finally the superior economy, uniformity and wholesomeness of the machine ground lead and colors in oil prevailed over the prejudices of the most conservative painters, and dry colors as a practical painter's material fell into desuetude. It was a case of necessity—the demand for paint, in the United States at least, had outgrown the capacity of the slab and muller, as well as of their short-lived successor, the hand mill. Painters continued, however, to mix tints and to reduce paste paints to consistency for application by manual labor. About the time of the Civil War a certain Yankee genius, struck with the growing demand for house paint, conceived the idea that there would be a good market for paints ready for application. He produced and patented an "emulsion" paint. Its success was phenomenal despite its defects, and it was the forerunner of a host of so-called "patented" paints, which froze in the can, peeled off the surface and did a multitude of things they should not have done, but nevertheless blazed the way for one of the most rapid industrial developments of modern times. The first ready mixed paint appeared on the market some time in 1859 or 1860; it has been calculated that the consumption of ready-for-use paints for all purposes in 1906 approached 100,000,000 gallons, with a selling value of not much less than $150,000,000. Such a development indicates, first, the meeting of a well defined need, and second, a long step in advance of the earlier products. For, though the prepared-paint industry still suffers from the effects of the moral law that visits the sins of the parents upon their children to the third and the fourth generation, it is still steadily growing. This must mean not only that it meets a need, but that it yields on the average satisfactory results. The rapid multiplication of beautiful chemical colors during the past forty years and the improved taste of the "common people" has created a demand for a great variety of tints and shades which can be met only by the paint chemist who knows what pigments can and what cannot be safely combined. As noted above, the colors which yield the tints of blue, green, lavender, pink, the delicate grays, etc., cannot be successfully made with a white lead base. Here chemical invention has come forward with three or four other whites which are available for such tints. Again white lead is apt to darken when used in the interior of buildings, where sulphurretted hydrogen is always present. Oxide of zinc or one of the other newer whites form the base for interior paints. Furthermore the content of sulphuretted hydrogen in the atmosphere of towns is annually increasing with the growth of manufactories throwing out furnace gases. The sensibility of the white lead is materially reduced by the addition of zinc oxide, sublimed white lead, and certain reinforcing inert pigments to the paints for outside use. The growth of the industry and the increased complications of the requirements has within a quarter of a century transformed paint making from a hit or miss, haphazard, rule of thumb procedure to a systematized matter of technical science, and in the modern paint factory the practical paint chemist rules supreme. He knows the requirements, he understands the limitations, and it is "up to him" to produce practical results. There is another phase of the problem not generally appreciated. The supply of practical painters—that is, of painters who understand the mixing of tints, the adaptations of paint to the requirements of the job—is limited, and there is no source from which a fresh supply can be drawn when the present generation has passed away. At the present time those of them that remain are found principally in the large cities, where they cling pretty generally to the old methods of hand mixing oil, oil and colors. But even they realize that their methods are behind the age and are drifting, one by one, to the use of the prepared paints which, in their view, leave something to be desired. But in the country and in the country town ready mixed paint has come to stay, and in the majority of cases and in the hands of the average painter, will be found to give better service at less cost than the hand mixed product. Hardware dealers throughout the country, who handle both ready mixed paints and lead in oil, can easily judge of the justice of this assertion by following up the history-of any dozen jobs of each class in their own vicinity. Paint is not yet perfect—even the best of it. If it were, it would never be necessary to repaint, but when it is—membered that the ordinary paints coating is seldom more than one two-hundredth of an inch in thickness, the marvel is how well and at what a small cost it serves its purpose of preserving and beautifying wooden structures.

A CHARGE of criminal libel can act as a boomerang not alone for the one who makes it but for his friends. INSTEAD of our young men and women being sent elsewhere to higher institutions of learning the State College should be so conducted as to receive them. By so doing parents in this city and vicinity would save hundreds of dollars each year. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation from the trustees and faculty of Atlanta University, to the 39th Commencement, including the thirteenth Atlanta Conference for the study of the Negro problems, May 22-28. FROM present indications Secretary Taft has sufficient votes to nominate him at the National Convention. After the convention the soreness of the defeated candidates and their friends will soon heal and every body will prepare for election day and give the grand old party another great victory. No loyal party man will remain out side the breastworks. Those of our men who have regist-red and prepared to vote against disfranchisement next October are to be commended. We know some of our men who have paid many a dollar back tax in order to be qualified to vote against this bit of class legislation. Others of our men who owe back tax should make a sacrifice in order to become registered. The interest in this matter should not abate. Every effort should be made to keep it constantly before our men. Register right now! EFFORTS should be made by our leading young men to bring some of the prominent men of the race to the city for the purpose of lecturing on various topics. In this respect we are deficient, and this deficiency is not at all helpful. Our literary population is as large as any city of its size in the country, and there is no reason why a series of lectures during each year can not be had. This matter should be taken up and discussed by the interested ones. It is stated that at the Georgia State Industrial College there are less than two hundred boarding students. This is a reflective record for a State institution, especially one that has been established as long as this one. It seems a difficult thing for the youngmen to remain there to finish the college course. Many have left and finished at other institutions. There is a cause for all of these things, and the able board of commission having in charge the college should investigate and see that this institution is placed among the fore most of its kind in the country. Early Closing on Saturday. Our patrons are asked to bring in their work a little earlier in the week during the hot summer months in order that we may be enabled to give our printers a part of each Saturday for recreation. This will be done commencing Saturday, May 30th. A compliance with this request will be greatly appreciated. From sterling. Mr. Editor: Allow me space in your paper to say how much Rev. M.

The Forty Hours Adoration ended Tuesday evening and was a splendid success. On Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock the service began with a solemn High mass, sung by Kev. Father G. Obrecht, pastor of the parish. Rev. Father C. M. Reich, assistant pastor of the Cathedral, was deacon and Rev Father P. Fourage, assistant pastor at St. Benedict's, was subdeacon. St. Benedict's chalor executed L. O. Emmerson's mass in E flat. After the mass the solemn procession of the Blessed Sacrament took place within the precints of the church. The children, dressed in white, marched first strewing flowers to the God who has become a victim for the sins of the witch. After the procession the Sacrament was swallowed by the altar beautifully decorated with a profusion of flowers by the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception. At the evening service at 8 o'clock. Rev. Father G. X shadwell, of the Cathedral, delivered a masterly discourse, his theme being 'The real presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. On Monday morning at 7 o'clock, Rev. Father G. Obrecht sang the mass for "the Peace" while the faithful united their prayers to those of the priest asking God to give to the world that Peace which the Almighty alone can give, Rev. Father Matthew, O. S. B., Benedictine College, preached at the evening service on the "Necessity of good works." It was a brilliant and practical discourse. Tuesday morning, at 7 o'clock the mass was sung by Rev. Father P. Fourrage. The chair boys of the Cathedral rendered the liturgical words in plain chant. The congregation, which was filled with people eager to witness the impressive ceremonies of the Catholic church on the last day of this Devotion. The crowd was so great that many could not find a seat and had to stand, Rev. Father H. Kane, of the Cathedral preached a beautiful and practical sermon on the "Effect of a fervent communion."

Stably, in the Indiana Farmer. “—" Sand, in the Poultry Bouse, Whether the floor of the poultry house is made of boards or of' earth, a thick layer of sand upon it has many advantages. Sand, while it will absorb moisture and keep the floor dry, does not get powdery and dusty -as does earth. On hoard floors it permits of dit being readily raked up from its surface instead of the Voards having to be scraped, as oth- erwise might be the case. On earth floors, if used properly, it “acts as a carpet and prevents their being grad- ually worn down. If used in this manner, on the ap- prozth of cold weather a good supply of sand should be laid in for winter use. This can be done by either stor- ihg it or by having the floor so con- structed that a large amount of sand an be dumped upon it, so that dur- ing the winter it can be gradually raked off from the surface and res moved When necessary In such pro- portion that it will not be gone until spring. + * Sand will not be found as good as litter for the fowls to exercise in, in scratching for their feeds of grain, yet it can be made a fair substitute, xhe fowls getting considerable exer- ‘cise In scratching in it, and It has the advantage of not having to be re- placed as often as does litter. Lit- “ter, however, is best for the scratch- ing sheds, but sand can be used on the floor of the poultry house itself and upon the dropping boards after each time they are cleaned, and if so used will be found to repay amply for the trouble of securing it.—H. E. Haydock, in the Tribune. _ ‘Manures and Soils. * The importance of studying your soll and its needs is emphasized in the following from the Farmer's Re- view: : One of the first things the farmer must learn, says Farmer's Review, is that soils differ greatly as to the Kinds and quantities of the plant foods they contain. This seems to be ‘one of the hardest things to impress upon the farmer. Over and over again the mistake fs made of buying a fertilizer because it has given good results when applied to certain farms. In fact many of the fertilizer sellers put out literature that bas for its base the testimonials of growers showing how many potatoes were grown, or how much of other things ‘Were grown, as a result of the use of _the fertilizer. “There are many brands of ferti- lzers on the market that purport to be “special for potato growing,” for “wheat growing,” for “cabbage growing,” and the like. ‘The fact that these brands are sold on their names and claims shows how dense 4s the Ignorance of some of our neo- ple on the questions of soll and fer- tilizeys. Soils differ so radically that it 1s Impossible to make a fertillzer mixture that will be suited to the pro- duction of a certain crop in all places. The supposition that such is possible is a delusion and a snare. Every farmer should try to read the reports of the investigation of soils, that he ‘may be able to form a true conception of the needs of his soll. To show how enormously soils differ we have but to journey to dif- ferent parts of the State of Illinois or to any State where a soil survey has been made and experiments undertaken. Go down into the Kan- Kakee marshes that have been drained and brought into cultivation. They hare soil so rich in nitrogen that it 1s a loss of time to put on nitrogenous fertilizers, and $40 of blood per acre gave no results. But a Uttle potassium made the soll bring forth tenfold. Just the oppo- site may be found in another county where the land lacks nitrogen and : has enough potasstum. ‘There the ap- | pilcation of potassium had no ‘effect, while a ttle blood accomplished | wonders. Many soils have both potassium and nitrogen, but lack phosphorus. , This has to be supplied before they “will give returns ef avy consequence. As long as men buy fertilizers be- seause they do well in some places, '4g0 Jong will they throw away a large spart of thelr money. Solls differ.in different counties “and, they differ sometimes on the same farm. Frequently one part of a farm is of one geological formation and another part of another geologi- cal formation. One may have been created a million gears before the other was created. One may be the product of the grindings of the gla- ciers, whiie another may be the re- sult of the slow action of water de- positing its silt Ittle by little, One ‘part of a man’s farm may be rich in nitrogen, while another fs starving for If. “A man must know his land and what fs in It. is =u Shoutd Yeast Seed Corn. During two montis members of the Indiana experiment station have made a study, of the seed corn of the State and fidd the vitality of much of it to be In a serious condition. The unusial cold, wet season of 1907 did not allow the corn to niature and dry oubppetore the time of frosts. In the eax} part of October much of the torn of the State was still fh a very moist and Immature condition and thd series of hard freezes which came at that time mgterially injured the vitality. ‘The result of these con- ditions fs that those corn growers who depended on late selected seed are now finding. upon close examina- tion, many ears of questionable vi- tality, For these reasons ‘all seed corn should be specially selected and thoroughly tested. A test of each,in- dividual ear should Le: made and all weak or dead ears should be dis- carded... - + ‘This test can be made in several ways, The following is suggested as a reliable and satisfactory one: Take a box madg of inch himber ‘and of any conventent size, say about two by three fest and three inclies deep. Through the ends and sides, about two and a half inches from the bottom, bore small holes two tnches apart, Through these holes string a light galvanized wire, whic will divide the box fnto squares two Inches to the side. ‘Then fill thé box with garden soll or sand and it is ready for use. ‘The ears should be lad on the floor or racks in a row so they can be numbered. From éar No. 1 remove fire kernels, each from a different part of the ear, and place these in square No. 1; remove five Kernels from ear No. 2 and place iti square No, 2 and so on until all the ears have been tested. After placing the Kernels moisten the material in the box thoroughly and cover with a glass or a rug to keep the surface from drying. Place the tester in a room of ordinary living femperature,, or about seventy degrees Fahren-’ heit. After five days examine the corn, and any ears that, fail to show a strong germination of the kernels” should be removed and discarded. This method of testing corn is simple, conventent and rapid and means much ia securing strong, ger- minable seed. Only fourteen ears are required to plant an acre of ground, With an average yield each car means five bushels in the fall. When a man can test five to elght bushels in a day and locate definite- ly all weak or bad ears, can he afford to neglect this important step in the preparation of his seed corn?—G. I. Christie, Purdue Experiment Station Draining a Field. The first point to be determined fs the outlet, ‘This should always be at the Iowest part of the land, or such as will afford a sufficient fall for the water—the outlet pipe should not, be at the immediate bottom of the ditch, but above the water ordinarily running in it, The main drain, oF drains, must be at the lowest part of the line of the greatest slope and ail the minor drains must enter the mhains diagonally {n the same direc- tion as the run of the water ‘and not at right angles. A four-inch main drain is usually sufficient to carry off the water from five or seven acres; but where the land fs springy larger mains, or more of them are required. ‘The drains should not be less than three feet deep, and where there is sufficient fall, they are better three and one-half feet to four leet deep. A smooth and even fall and certain outlet must be-provided. A sharp fall 1s not necessary, The distance of the drains will be determined by the nature of the soll. Sandy, gravel- ly, or silty subsolls draw well and the drains should be twenty-four feet apart; for the medium texture sub- soils, twenty-one feet; for stiff loams, eighteen feet, and for retentive sub- soils, fifteen feet apart. In tenacious solls it fs a good plan to fill the trench with stones to the level of tho disturbed soll, or two feet from the surface, hut in solls that are springy, as happens in-sand, a little straw on which to lay the pipes is necessary, covering thein lightly with the softer portions of the hedge-brushings, to prevent thelr being choked with quicksand. All outlets must be se- cured with tron gratings sufficiently small between the bars to exclude animals of the size of rats, or less. This work of draining must be done carefully and thoroughly, it being es- sential that the trench bo examined before the pipes are iald in order that any faults may be discovered and rectified.—W. R.

Oe coy eT Re nent Tas Re ania yaermatic tire of the whizzing auto- Ing#ile could so shorten the lite of the macadam roads as to absorb the aftention of highway engineers of every cfrilized country of the globe, yet they are doing ‘an incredible amount of damage dally to rock sur- faced highways, and Francé has called an international congress, of Llghway engineers st Paris on De tober 11 to discuss this latest dvd 4nost startling road problem. ! ‘To understand how the broad, soft rubber tires of the modern gasolene propelled juggernaut kills the roads which fron tired wagons improve one must have at least an inkling of the methods adopted by Treasuget, of Limoges, and Macadam, of Ayrshire, when the so-called modern first rock surfaced highways were planned end put down. Macadam figured that the constant passing of iron tired wagons over a crushed stone highway would grind dust particles frem the stones; that those partleles would fill in all interstices, and that wettings and rollings would not only give 2 hard, smooth surface, but that the highway would improve with the passing of years. For a century and a quarter the wisdom of the Scotch road builder was justified. Every country that ays claim to civilization adopted it, and thousands of miles of road were laid annually in France, Germany, England, Holland and the United States. ‘Then came the automobile, and a few years after its arrival the road overseers began to notice the deter- foration of these highways. Broad level stretches became strewn with surface stones, ruts became frequent and dust clouds weré constantly set tling on the adieekat property. Tho trouble was quickly traced 10 the automobile. ‘These machines through the tract- ive and centrifugal force exerted by their rapidly turning wheels wera pulling the rock dust from the roads and swirling it ‘away in Vlinding clouds. While every tronbound wagon tire was doing its own small percent- age of rock crushing, dust making, road smoothing and rock tamping, every rubber automobile tire was un- doing that work by taking the dust away. ‘Treasuget and Macadam knew that the effect of wagon traffic would be benéficial to rock surface roads, but they never suspected that in future years chugging machines, guided* by, Degoggled, speed mad enthustasts, wopld rush frantically across the face of Mature, or that the wheels of the strange vehicles in which they jour- neyed would be bound by air stufted rubber. ‘i ‘The antidote les In the discovery ot a method which will benefit both the road and the car. Study to over- come existing conditions by creating better conditions is now ,going for- ward, and it is practically certain that when the International congress meets there will be a solution pf, the road problem and the evil effects of- the automobile will be turned to a benefit. * : Director Page, of the office of pub- ic roadg of the United States Depart- | ment ot (erieuture, who recently re-' ceived through the French Ambassa- dor, M. Jusserand, an invitation to attend tle congress at Paris in the fall, was recently asked if the life of the highways was so serlously men- aced as to justify a condemnation ot the motor car and to warrant an in- ternational congress to discuss it. “Nobody who has made a study of the hard surface roads of this or any other country would attempt to deny that the motor car is constantly short- ening the life of such thoroughfares,” said the director, “but that fs no rea- son for the condemnation of the au- tomobile. The arrival of this machine has created a new and unlooked for condition. That means that thanew condition must be studied and the problems which have arisen must be solved. It does not mean that be- cause the roads suffer through the arrival ‘of the motor car the motor car shall pass in the interest of road preservation. “I regard the automobile as an Im- portant factor in the upbullding of civilization, and it has come to stay, It has created conditions -demanding the best thought of the highway engi- neers of the world.

Dr. Case said: |The word “overcome” is a martial term. It imples an enemy, 2 confiict, | a victory. It suggests the soldier of I Christ fighting against spiritual forces of wickedness and arrayed in the helmet of salvation, the breast- plate of righteousness, the girdle of truth, the sandals of ‘the gospel of peace, the sword of the Spirit and the shield of faith. It presents the Chris- tlan Ife, not in terms of rest and en- foyment, association and service, but of struggle. It is a word for the pres- ent, a clarion call to achievement. ‘The victorious crusad3 of the Chris- tian fs not here pictured a3 coming only at the end of life.

There is no thought of truce or furloughs no suggestion of ‘recuperation or dress-parade. There is to be no day of retreat. : ' It is the contest of the. individual against his enemies. The message is ! to the, church, the task is personal. | The heart is the citadel, and the ap- | Proaches are the soureé of constant attack. The fiesh is weak, even though the spirit Is willing. There is a confilet between the law of God and ‘ the law ofsin in our members. Even though Christ be enthroned in the Afe, the outposts will be repeatedly ‘assailed. The success of the church depends upon the faithfulness of thé individual membérs. The seven promises to the churches as given by Christ repeat the history , of the race up to the founding of the throne of David, the period of Is- | raelitish history most symbolical of j the kingdom of God. The world’s | history, begins with the tree of life | Which fs forbidden to the parents of the race. Then follows as striking ' providences of God the punishment of death and the promise of the Deliv- erer, the giving of the tables of stone , and the heavenly manna, the Tepeased victories over the national enemles, the enrollment of the heroes of war, the building of the great temple and the establishment of the throne of David forever. God's plan fs one and ‘ the salvation to be given in the final ' award fs but the culmination of God’s eternal purposé. What God willedo for us at last is to be seen in the his- tory of the race in prophetic promise. ‘The first promise, found in Revela- tion 2:8, is: “To him that overcom- eth, to him will I give to cat of the tree of life, which is the paradise of God.” Thus are connected the be- ginning and the end of history even as Christ Himself is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. Yet the second Paradise differs widely from the first. In the passage of the text, Paradise is Heaven, not the in- ' termediate state, and itis presented not as a garden where two human be- ings are surrounded by the luxuries of nature, but a city throbbing with life, teeming with multitudes. Not isolation but association, is the strik- ing feature. The tr¢e of life is the fulfillment of the spiritual meaning of the prayer, “Give us this day our daily bread.” ‘As the tree of life bears twelve manner of fruits, ylelding its fruit every month, so life abundant is the reward of victory. And life is more than mere existence; it is wealth of thought, it is richness of companionship, it is the acme of un-~ selfishness, it is the larger life when “eomes the statelier Eden back<to man,” when family, society, govern- ment, national and international, is the creation of God-fed and God-led | children of men. ‘The second promise is that the vic- | tor shall not be hurt of the second ‘death. There is a first death and a | second death, though the term second death is not mentioned in the Gospels | or epistles. But Christ Himself tells us not to fear him who can destroy the ‘body, but rather fear Him who can cast both soul and ody into hell. The first death is the heritage of the race, and is not directly the punish- ment of individual sin. Even Christ became obedient unto death, though He knew no sin. Neither sickness nor death may mean that elther a man or his parents have sinned. The j second death 3 the exact result of 1 sin. It is for the fearful and unbe- Heving and abominable and murder- ous and whore mongers and sorcerérs and idolaters and all liars. The first ‘is momentary in its effects, the sec- ond eternal. | The Smyrna Christians were bit- terly persecuted, but Christ promises them freedom from the second death. i The church is challenged because {t makes its rewards future. Wrongs need present rightitg, says the eritic; what we want is Heaven on earth. | True, very true, but the Ideal for | earth is Heaven. As long as the sense ; of immortality Is in man, as long as there remain unavenged’ wrongs on ‘ earth, as long as any individual life passes out into the great -unknown matter between tho soul and Christ alone. “Blessed are those that hun- ger and thirst after righteousness.” ‘There is ‘nothing that satisfes the hungry soul but Christ. ‘Then there is that secret name In- scribed on thé white stone. ‘There are many interpretations of its meaning, such as that the stone Is a ticket of admission or a vote of acquittal. But, after all, the bellever with his bldden manna has a new heart. There is both a new power of assimilation and a new food to be assimilated. ‘The old law was written on two tables of stone,but tho new law, 29 Ezekiel declares, Is to be written on the heart. Forced obedience is to be changed into a second mature that voluntarily does right. The bellever is not free from the law, but he does naturally what the law requires, There is but one secret for this marvelous trans- formation, and that 4s, Christ. For me to live. is Christ, says Paul. In- stead of the ten commandments we have the name ot Jesus Inscribed on our hearts. “He who lives the Christ- Mfe obeys’ the law without compul- sion. What better comparison can we make between the old and the new dispensation, the old law and the new grace? Here 1s the “secret of the Lord.” Human finiteness can only vaguely understand God's omniscience. Hu- man ignorance needs a journal and a ledger. God needs many books by which righteous judgment shall be elven. He needs a book of life by which no mistake may be made in condeming the innocent and saving the wicked. He bas a book of re- membrance for those that fear the Lord and think upon His name; the wanderings of the persecuted’ are numbered and his tears ate all re- corded. The great day of judgment is simply the opening of the books and the reading of a reward or pun- ishment already determined upon. Blessed are those whose names aro ‘written in the Lamb's book of life. Originally, probably; the idea of a book of registry arose from the mu- nicipal Ust of Jerusalem. “It shall come to pass that. he that Is left in Zion and he that rematneth in Jerusa- lem shall bo called holy, even every one that {3 written. among the living in Jerusalem.” Evidently" the man whose citizenship Is in Heaven, and who being risen with Christ seeks those things that are above, is thus registered in the new Jcrusalem. The people at Sardis had a name that they lived, but they were dead. A church registration is not always syn- onymous with a Heavenly registra- tion. “Remember, therefore, and re- pent.” Not professors, but posses- sors, count with God. 3 The sixth promise of the risen Christ fs that the victor ehall be a pillar in the temple Inscribed with the name of God, Heaven and Jesus. In Solomon's porch there wera two pillars, one marked Jachin, “He shall establish,” and the other’ Boaz, “in his strength.” In the chureh militant not all are pillars. Paul declares that James, Peter and John were consid- ered to be pillars. But in the new temple of God all are pillars, not only columns of support, but also monu- ments commemorating the great deeds of the past. The saved of Heaven shall record salvation by grace and be “songs without words” in praise of God. Upon cach pillar shall be the name of God, of tho ney Jerusalem, and “mine own new 7h e.” What new name? Emmanuely“God with us?” Redeemer, the one who has purchased our redemption? Jesus, the name precious to every believer? We do not know; still, as the name signifies the personality, so we shall receive that name of Jesus, which answers to our own inner experience. What wo are then will be what. Christ has been to us. The Father will see re- flected In us the looks of Christ; His image 4nd superseription will be on us, The Jast promise fs to the Laodi- ceans—“He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with Me in My throne as-I also overcame and sat down with My Fathe> in His throne.” | When Napoleon had been appointed emperor by the senate, the ceremony took place in 1804 accord- ing to the solemn ceremonial of the Holy Roman Empire. Pius VII. had taken the crown from the altar ready to place it upon ‘Napoleon’s™ head, when the latter selzed it and put it on his head himself. Christ seized no crown for Himself. In that Ho humbled Himself, God highly exalted Him. Now He in turn exalts the one who humbled himself and gives life to him who fs willing to lose it. Sov- ereignty—that is, victory, authority, mastery—belongs to those who over- come with Christ. Whoever, hearing Chtist at the door knocking, and then opens the door, shall admit a Com- panion who will bind fellowship by common meal. Such a one now en- Joying friendship with Christ in His humility shall enjoy it with Christ in His glory, : : Rev. Mark Guy Pearse says that many years ago he sat with Rev.

A rather forcible incident cecurred at the Masonic School at Rockford which serves to teach an important lesson, A brother went up to the chairman cf the Board ef Grand Ex- aminers, on the second day and said, “What do you think, last night‘after the meéeting one of the brethren was in a saloon with his Masonic apron ort. He evidently forgot to tahe it off.” “Well,” said the chairman, “Was found him there?" The brother re- fected a moment and said, “J hadn't thought of that." There are a good many of us ready to cast the first stone without ever stopping to con- sider whether we are without sin curselves. No man has a right to constitute himse’f the: censor of his neighBor until such a time as his own acts will stand the test of the Gredt ‘Overseer’s square. There is more than one man wh is tried in,our Ma- sonry lodges and found gulity by those whose facts and conduct, if exposed would subject them to the same hu- millation, Masonry expects all its ad- herents to be cbservent of the moral law and its principle of equality de- mands that all offenders saall be sub- ject to the some discipline—tilinols Freemason. : BEFORE THE HURRY AND BUSTLE We believe in Masonry as it existed in the days of our fathers; we mean befare the hurry and the bustle there was time for everything, aid every- thing at a proper time; in the days when the attentive ear caught the true meaning of Masonry, and it was not thougit necessary by means of robes and glittering paraphernalia, to teach Masonry to a candidate through his eyes: As a matter of fact, it is “light in Masonry” that the can- didate is seeking-for, and is only by a study of the teachings of Masonry through the brains that his heart be- comes filled with pure Masonic love to God, his neighbor, and himself_— Florida Masonic Journal, There are a good many Masons going around “and saying, “I am not ashamed of Masonry." This is a prond boast but we would like to turn the statement around and ask: “Is Masonry ashamed of them?” A Ma. sonic orator said recently that in the eyes of the world at Iarge Masonty was no better than the werst man in it. This may be a very plain and very broad statement, but the truth remains that the.acts of one perverse man may upset and tumyto naught the good actions of several men where they are all enlisted under the sane banner. The only way the world can judge of Mascnry is by the conduct «f those who espouse its cause.
